"So many civilians killed. There was an intent to kill civilians on one side, and there has been a disregard for civilian life on the other," said Lior Yavne, a senior investigator for the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem. "They are not comparable in terms of intent, but they are definitely comparable in terms of the number of civilians killed and the families who grieve their deaths."...

Every American must know about how their tax dollars are being covertly funneled to fund the terrorist state of Israel. At the very moment that I am writing this, an Israeli delegation is in Washington, DC asking and expecting to receive between $10 and $14 BILLION additional aid from our goverment, but with OUR tax dollars. However this is not being reported in the mainstream U.S papers! Yet it is being reported in British and Israeli newspapers!...

As if we needed more proof that Israel is not a democracy, but rather a theocracy with an anti-democratic, racist, apartheid regime. It has the official policy of not allowing anyone to run for office who would challenge that Israel is Jewish state, as opposed to actually transforming it into a true democracy with equal rights for all regardless of religion or ethnicity or sex....

These pictures of Palestinian children holding guns or flags with swastikas on them end up being up loaded to sites like Indymedia to prove how "evil" Palestinians are. Unknown to most people, many of these pictures are staged by armed Israelis using Palestinians at gunpoint for propaganda purposes....

This article just goes to show that it's not the oil, stupid, it's Israel. This war about Iraq is all about doing Israel's bidding, fighting Israel's war, for the benefit of Israel, NOT the U.S. and not even for oil....

Israel is not defending its democracy, but an ethnic-supremacist regime which it has established. Under these circumstances, is the threat to democracy from those who want to continue this regime, or from those who want to change it and guarantee a State which treats all its citizens equally?...

A 'democracy?'
"So with all this hassle and red tape, why bother? Apart from the fact that religious registration is a strict legal requirement, Israeli law imposes different obligations and rights on Jewish and non-Jewish citizens. Notably, Muslims are informally exempt from compulsory military service.
Moreover, Israel has no civil marriage or civil family law, so marriage and inheritance disputes must be resolved in religious courts, making it important to establish one's status...

Just when we thought the world was making progess... tears came to my eyes and many others, as the Berlin Wall tumbled, as Apartheid was ended in South Africa, which then became a democracy...now we are faced anew with racist, fascist, apartheid Israel, which is supported billions of our US tax dollars even though this is contrary to our American ideals and we need the money HERE in America. We must speak out against this travesty of justice!...

You may have read this before, you may not have. But it bears reading again. It seems as if Washington must have been clairvoyant! He would surely sever ties with Israel and Zionism if he were alive today, of that I am sure. Now WE true AMERICANS must urge an end to our country's "special relationship" with Israel and outlaw Zionism, just as any racism is....

It's heartening to read that a 15 year old can grasp the situation that Palestinians find themselves in and write a book that touches others. Her inspiration came from a picture which spoke a thousand words to her, as well as others around the world, but motivated her to write this novel. The picture is the one of young 12 year old Mohammad being huddling next to his Dad who was trying to shield him from Israeli bullets, however the boy was shot dead....

Israel kills a far larger number of mostly unarmed Palestinian civilians -- a 90- year-old man here, a whole family there, a mentally disabled youth today, a nurse yesterday, and so on -- and refuses to stop or in any way place restrictions on its troops who have visited mayhem on the Palestinians unremittingly for far too many recent months. Most of the time, however, these dreadful slaughters are reported on the back pages of newspapers and never mentioned on TV....
