On the eve of pit national holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, I ask, why is there no talk of non-violent protest in Gaza? Not a word. Two sides are fighting. Neither wants peace, it seems. Both want to destroy the other. What do you need? A third point. Non-violent protest aganst all perveyors of war. When one monk burned himself in Vietnam, America was shocked. Millions began to think. Peace is an end in itself, it is not just a point between wars. I think that only such a non-violent movement will bring peace to our world. Peace is our right. Those who want war, and they will probably always be there, must be marginalized in the culture. They should not be allowed to participate in politics at all. If peace in the Middle East is your true goal, first you have to bring peace to yourself. Kill all desire for vengence, for power, for greatness. Pray for peace. Act peacefully, speak peacefully. Justice will arrise of its own because it will come to the aid of peace if you are truely dedicated to peace. It is a principal. Do not blame the enemy or you become an enemy. Peace transcends enemies. It’s view is long, longer than your war will ever be. When fighting is done, what is waiting there? Peace. You can choose to join it any time.

But war has no winners or losers. How could things possibly be worse than they are now? Children being burned by bombs. Threats against hospitals. Rage and fear. But you could have peace right now if you choose. Then you can tell others how. What would you have to lose by choosing unconditional peace? Your ideas? Your pride? Your homeland? What good is any of it without peace?

Even if Hamas leaders are under the hospitals, it is absolutely prohibited under international humanitarian law – see the 4th Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilians in wartime – to target areas knowing that civilians will suffer casualties, especially if those civilians are wounded and infirm in hospitals!

Lieberman is a fool. He should have been kicked out of the Knesset a long time ago – inciting against minorities, calling for ethnic cleansing, genocide, war crimes! Nagasaki and Hiroshima – what a moron – doesn’t he realise he’d go as well?

Israel and Hamas decided on a ceasefire. Hamas asked for a stop to the blockade. Israel had locked the gtes and held back all supplies for the last two years. Hamas agreed to no rockets being fired. Israel started planning immediately for their Christmas Massacre. Hamas sent no rockets into Israel. On 4th November Israel invaded Gaza and murdered 6 Palestinians. They never lifted the blockade and instead kept Gaza in a tighter stranglehold. Hamas agreed to renew the ceasefire in December 2008 is Israel kept it`s word. Israel said No. The rockets went into Israel just as Israel had planned . So once again they say millions of Israelis are under attack. Lies.Then they started their massacre out the blue. Just as the kids were walking home from school and 40 new Policeman were haveing their passing out parade. Over 200 killed in 3 minutes. Decapitated, rivers of blood and so it`s went on. The United Nations General Council unanimously said STOP to Israel. The Security Council agrred to call for a ceasefire. At the last minute Connie Rice sticks her hand up and abstains. Once again a UN Resolution is blocked by the good old US of A. Justice and Liberty for all. Every man is equal. Now Israel is dropping white phosporous shells on the civilians. It is only meant to be used a a smokescreen but Israel is dropping it on houses and people. It continues to burn right through the houses,the people and keeps burning. Water does not put it out. In Vietnam they used napalm now Israel is using phosporous. Please America protest in the streets about this. Your politicians are feeding you lies and making you pay for this. This is so sad and it needs to stop.

I still cannot understand why such a huge number of Americans are so blind to the truth. Then I realised that all of their newspapers and TV stations are given a very pro-Israeli version of events. George Bush took young American soldiers to war with Iraq because of lies (lies that history books will prove were provided by Israeli intelligence). When the first Iraq War was going on and cities were being bombed Iraq sent rockets into Israel in defiance. Israel has now paid Iraq back for this with Iraq War Part 2. Getting back to the Palestinians. There land was taken from them, their homes bombed, they have been brutalised and humiliated for the last 60 years and Israel still plays the “victim” role. American taxpayers give $17 milion a day to Israel. Why? Hopefully Americans will soon wake-up to the truth. Search on youtube, read foreign independent newspapers and EDUCATE YOURSELF. There are two sides to this story. To stay silent when crimes against humanity are going on (RED CROSS and UNITED NATIONS words) in Gaza with weapons supllied by Americans is digusting, vile,obscene, unbelievable. Hamas are Palestinians who decided to stand up and say “no more” to a dominant,aggresive, bloodhirsty bully. In the last 20 years 8 ,EIGHT, YES EIGHT Israelis have been killed by these little rockets. Tens of thousands have been murdered, hun dreds of thousands jailed without charges, millions forced from their land and Americans must be shown this fact. Wake-up America and stop this madness. JUSTICE FOR PALESTINIANS.
