Did you know that police in spying on Americans and beating the crap out of people?

Here is a video taken by police themselves:

Did you know that in some of the harshest language he has used to date, former President Jimmy Carter called Israeli "domination" over Palestinians "atrocious" in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." Carter said there was "no doubt now that a minority of Israelis are perpetuating apartheid on the people in Palestine, the Palestinian people." He called Israel's occupation the "prime cause" of continuing violence in the Middle East.

All of this while neither Democrats nor Republicans are prepared to say a word in opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's decision to add the racist Knesset member Avigdor Lieberman and his Yisrael Beiteinu party to Israel's governing coalition.

Hey everybody! The Iraqi violence is part of an "Al Qaida Plot"!!!
Oh NO! An al Qaida PLOT!! That must be it… Thank God we have George to put it all into perspective! No WONDER you can't put peace signs on your Christmas wreaths in Colorado!! You have to keep fighting that nasty Al Qaida that coincidentally turns up everywhere George Bush has been [Hat tip: ]

Did you know that Imams, ministers and a rabbi staged a "pray-in" demonstration at Reagan Washington National Airport and demanded an apology from US Airways for barring six Muslims from a Minneapolis to Phoenix flight last week? The religious leaders called for an end to racial profiling, saying it was unacceptable in America.

Did you know that Israel didn't lay only cluster bombs in Lebanon, but also they laid mines during summer war? This is the first time Israel has been accused of planting mines by a U.N. agency.

Did you know that many people who enjoy support of New York Times could be responsible for Gemayel death? Although no investigation has been mounted and no evidence offered that would enable anyone to be identified with Gemayel's murder, the New York Times ignores such rudimentary considerations and instead falls in behind the campaign being waged by the Bush administration to blame Syria for the killing. OTOH, in its own way, the New York Times acknowledges that the assassination serves the interests of Washington and its allies in the Siniora government.

Did you know that the refugees are the key to any lasting solution but Israel does not admit its historical responsibility to the Palestinian people and does not recognize the rights of the refugees?

Did you know that Israel knew that Iraq had no nuclear weapons? Israel was aware before the war against Iraq that Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction, but Israel did not inform the United States. That time, Yossi Sarid, a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, said that Israeli intelligence knew beforehand that Iraq had no weapons stockpiles and misled US President George Bush because 'Israel didn't want to spoil President Bush's scenario'

Did you know that an Israeli soldier got ONLY 2 weeks prison for shooting Palestinian? The details of the incident collected by B'Tselem suggest that Yasin was shot after he told the soldiers that they should not ask women to run their hands over their bodies as a means of searching then the soldier hit Yasin, and two other soldiers joined the fracas, hit him, even after Yasin fell to the ground, they grabbed and threw him against the cement blocks used to make a roadblock. He was cuffed and the soldiers continued to hit and kick him before shooting him.

How does he do it? More than half a million deaths, an army trapped in the largest military debacle since Vietnam, a Middle East policy already buried in the sands of Mesopotamia – and still George W Bush is in denial. Like Hitler and Brezhnev, Bush is in denial.

Did you know that last Friday, the General Assembly approved six pro-Palestinian resolutions over U.S. and Israeli objections. You want UN resolutions kept, keep this!

Democracy, ha? As majority of Americans sit on their duffs watching their rights disappear, 800,000 Lebanese are demanding the resignation of their corrupt Administration.

Talking of Corruption; did you know that the 'second insurgency' costing $4bn a year in Iraq and the "insurgents" have been abetted by US incompetence?

Did you know that the cease-fire will go up in flames? Here is the forecast: In a few days, there will be a targeted killing operation. The military correspondents will recite: "He was one of the senior operatives of Hamas (or Islamic Jihad), and was responsible for producing and smuggling large amounts of armaments." In response, a barrage of Qassams will fall on Sderot. One of the residents might be injured. In the process of the targeted killing operation, some passersby might also be killed; the correspondents will then recite: "They were armed."

Did you know that Avigdor Lieberman to head "Ministry of Strategic Threats"? Oh yea he has NO power. One of the ironic parts of this story is that the "Ministry of Strategic Threats" will handle Jewish immigrants from former Soviet states to Israel. Do you see any link? Anyway, Lieberman is a dangerous racist…. the ADL should clean out its OWN house (he called to execute Arab MK) before it calls others racists…. (dig out everything about him now, because it will all be scrubbed – if it isn't already!!!) Back in 2002, Avigdor Lieberman called for bombing of Palestinian gas stations, banks and commercial centers. The questons is: If Hamas was called a terrorist government, then, what do we call the Israeli government? Peace makers?

Did you know that any and all of Arab citizens are viewed as 'security threats' at Israeli airports? It's nothing but more of Israeli apartheid!

Did you know that Israel may try strengthening Siniora, or go to war again if that fails?

Did you know that:

Did you know that after all the blustering Israel ready to free 1000 prisoners in Shalit deal? (Which still leaves 2 soldiers hostage in Lebanon….). They could have done this in June!!! and saved thousands of lives!!!

Did you know that the Israeli Education Minister has ordered that Israeli school books display the Green Line? Believe it or not: Israel is asking anyone and everyone to recognize their state while until this moment they teach their children that Palestine does not exist. Tamir said Israel could not demand of its Arab neighbors to mark the June 4, 1967 borders, while the Israeli education system erased them from its textbooks and from children's awareness. In sipte of all of this, Rabbis ban use of schoolbooks showing pre-1967 border!
