Israel`s leaders must change mindset, engage in dialogue with Palestinians
 

Guantanamo's population today...stands at 455. Only 10 of the inmates have been charged with crimes. In only 14 of 34 cases has anyone been punished for the confirmed or suspected killings of detainees. The stiffest sentence in a torture-related death has been five months in jail.
 

If you have a passport, now is the time to renew it -- even if it's not set to expire anytime soon. In many countries, including the United States, passports will soon be equipped with RFID chips.

The US Central Intelligence Agency paid Pakistan millions of dollars for handing over more than 350 suspected al-Qaeda terrorists to the United States, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has reportedly said.

Jewish rabbi calls for extermination of all Palestinian males

"A Jewish rabbi living in the West Bank has called on the Israeli government to use their troops to kill all Palestinian males more than 13 years old in a bid to end Palestinian presence on this earth.

Extremist rabbi Yousef Falay, who dwells at the Yitzhar settlement on illegally seized Palestinian land in the northern part of the West Bank, wrote an article in a Zionist magazine under the title "Ways of War", in which he called for the killing of all Palestinian males refusing to flee their country, describing his idea as the practical way to ensure the non-existence of the Palestinian race."

----------
There is a reason Israeli policies are increasingly linked with those of 1930's Germany.  This is just one example.  A recent poll in Israel found that nearly 70% of its Jewish citizens favor deportation of all Palestinians.  Deportation is a form of ethnic cleansing. This Rabbi represents the sentiment of about 25% of Israelis, especially the settler movement. You will not see this in the US press, but you will see this in the Hebrew Press...often.  It is an acceptable subject in Israeli society to discuss deportation and increasingly, extermination.
 

Israelis use bulldozers to wreck crops in South

Background Info: Israel's quarrel with Lebanon is two-fold and it has nothing to do with 'security', 'terrorism' or its 'right to defend itself'.

When the Middle East was 'partitioned' in 1947, Ben Gurion and other Zionists wanted what is today Southern Lebanon.  Thou the Zionists conquered and captured another 22% of Palestine not granted them in 1947, Lebanon’s water evaded. Israel wants the water rights to the Hasbani and Litani Rivers and the agriculturally rich lands of the area.  The Hasbani River supplies 20-25% of the water flowing into the Sea of Galilee, which feeds Israeli supply. It rises in Lebanon and flows for about 50 kilometers through its territory before joining the River Jordan and emptying into the Sea of Galilee.

The Litani River Basin is contained within the borders of Lebanon. It rises in the northern Bekaa Valley, and then empties into the Mediterranean near Tyre, and at its closest point flows 4 km from the fluid Israeli border.  Israel has been trying to get total control of this river since 1948.

The West Bank is also about who controls the water with the Jordan River being the prize.  Israel’s illegal colonies, (settlements) in the West Bank are strategically placed to match Israel’s land confiscation objectives including gaining rights to the natural gas reserves of the West Bank, best farming land and of course, the water.

The second issue with Lebanon is economic.  Lebanon was emerging as a consumer and economic powerhouse in the Middle East drawing tourist and investment dollars away from Israel, primarily by those interested in supporting democratic countries in the Middle East but not interested in supporting undemocratic policies such as Israeli apartheid, exclusion and racism against non-Jewish people.  A democracy through spin only, Israel has no constitution nor a bill of rights.

Despite Israeli's 2000 'withdrawal' from Lebanon, it never ceased attacking and holding Lebanese property, (like the US and UK never ceased attacking and holding Iraqi territory between 1991 and 2003...we just took it out of the news).  The destruction of farming property, a favorite Israeli tactic in the Occupied Territories serves two purposes.  First it prevents the Lebanese from making a living and secondly it forces those defending Lebanese soil from Israeli invasions further into the country.  Israel's  action described in this article are war crimes per the Geneva Conventions.  

Israel uses security as the excuse but when pressed, evidence of the need of such ‘security’ methods fails to materialize.  ‘Security’ is a war time oxymoron used by governments (including the US and UK) for over two thousand years to convince people to support actions of aggression which ultimately degrade the nation’s security by fostering conflict.  

Caterpillar, the US company supplying these bulldozers is fully aware that they are being used to commit war crimes against civilians and have been used for this purpose over the past 20 years.  Yet it continues to sell them to Israel and ignore how they are being used, placing profit before people…Increasingly, given Iraq, Afghanistan and the Gulf States, profit before people is now the definition of ‘the American Way’.
 

Cong. Ron Paul: "The dictionary defines amnesty as a general pardon for offenders by a government, and most of the immigration reform proposals in both chambers of Congress certainly meet that definition. Millions of people who broke the law by entering, staying, and working in our country will not be punished"

What you need to know: Dr. Ron Paul is one of just a handful of people in Congress that bases all his decisions and arguments on the Constitution and only the Constitution.  No special interests, no lobbies, no pork.  He addresses welfare and illegal immigration in this article.  Social programs, according to our constitution, were to be enacted and maintained by states and communities or NGO's, never by the federal government which through its size breeds corruption, bureaucracy and ever growing expense with less benefit. They were meant to be created and maintained by the people benefiting within the areas benefiting.

When Paul 'speaks', it's a good idea to listen. He's under the Republican party but his opinions and actions illustrate libertarianism, (small government, personal accountability, personal freedom, civil liberties). A pediatrician by trade, he's actually in congress to represent the people, not get rich, do favors or pad his retirement.  This is what Congressmen are suppose to do and he's a breath of badly needed fresh air.

Halliburton sold Iran nuclear equip. in '04 to justify '05 Cheney planned attack

Attack Iraq, then Iran, Syria, Lebanon and other nations in the Middle East with the purpose of controlling the region and its resources and eliminating any challenges to Israeli supremacy in the area.  This is the plan from the 1998 PNAC strategy paper written for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  To do so, required a Pearl Harbor like event to force the US into war in the Middle East.  This strategy paper, written by members of the US government and think tanks is what we call 'The Bush Doctrine' today. Even thou, in its 100 year history Iran has NEVER attacked a nation that did not attack it first, as of today 77% of Americans believe Iran is a grave threat to the United States...and the same lies used to get us into Iraq are being used to convince Americans about Iran. 

What is scary is that it is working!

Israel, US pushing for Palestinian civil war

What you need to know: A civil war will allow Israel to re-enter the Occupied Territories with an iron fist and provide cover for further ethnic cleansing. This will open the door for further illegal settlements and deliver the excuse that the Palestinians cannot be dealt with diplomatically and create 'facts on the ground' further delaying or preventing any dismantling or withdrawal of Israeli troops and vigilante settlers from territories it takes. The West Bank is about who controls the 2nd largest reserve of natural gas in the world and who controls the water rights to the Jordan River.  Israel wants both. 

Fermenting civil war is the same tactic being used by the United States in Iraq which is why we (US & UK) allowed the slaughter of the Shia in Southern Iraq in 1991-1992, the ethnic cleansing of 350,000 Palestinians from Kuwait in 1991 and encouraged the Kurds at the same time to rise up against Saddam, only to step back and allow them to be crushed, thus eliminating a large portion of the resistance to occupation.

Civil war also permits the use of 'closed military zones' (CMZ) defanging the press and NGO's thus enabling wholesale slaughter on civilians with few witnesses. CMZ's are a favorite tool of both the US and Israel over the past fifteen years because they allow both armies to hide behind 'security' and invoke pre-emptive tactics without being held accountable.

Congress Considering Strip Searching Students
"To protect students and teachers"

The Student Teacher Safety Act of 2006 (HR 5295) would require any school receiving federal funding to adopt policies allowing teachers and school officials to conduct random, warrantless searches of every student, at any time, for essentially any reason they want.

CC says: Metal Detectors to get into school, bells telling you when to move, random searches, now strip searches...Generation Y and those after will be well trained fro the New World Order ala Bush more commonly referred to as a Police State. This is what children think is freedom...which is why most under age 20 don't seem to mind loosing it.
 

Americans are heavily in debt both personally and as a nation.  Tourism and Business Travel to the US is declining, (a direct result of our new 'security' policies and foreign policy).  What happens when a nation or person owes more than they make, but continues to spend what they cannot afford for conquests or purchases they want but do not need?  What happens when suddenly the income counted on no longer sustains or arrives?  What happens when the creditors call the debt? 

Ask the Romans...they've been there and done that...and by the way, they are no longer here.  The Roman Empire is extinct.

Who Served & Who Sends Others To Fight

MILITARY SERVICE summary of Democrats, Republicans and Pundits who are pro-war.
 

This happened August 9, and like most issues involving Israeli malfeasance, was kept out of the US Media.

Can you imagine the coverage if a Saudi, Iranian or Egyptian diplomat did this?
 

"The Federal Communications Commission ordered its staff to destroy all copies of a draft study that suggested greater concentration of media ownership would hurt local TV news coverage, a former lawyer at the agency says."

Not only has it hurt local coverage, the wars we're in would not be possible if the media hadn't promoted the false information and did not continue to censor information relating to it, specifically issues dealing with Israel and those found unflattering to Bush & Co. This is a direct result of ownership consolidation within multiple channels of media. Americans no longer get good information via our media and therefore we continue to make decisions based upon skewed and heavily propagandized 'facts' which serve to support the agendas of others and continue to deteriorate our rights, credibility and moral compass.
 

“The Israeli soldiers come to the chambers at seven and force us to go with our legs tied with chains.” The child added that his job was to stand under guard and pack plastic spoons in boxes.

Didn't someone arrest children, place them into 'refugee'/concentration camps and then force them to work round about 1942?  Sound familiar?
 

There was once a time on Capitol Hill when members of Congress discussed important legislation to benefit the American people. Nowadays. members huddle in small groups away from the Capitol building and congressional offices to discuss what is happening to their constituents at the hands of the police state the Bush regime ins constructing in the United States. Constituents are complaining to their members of Congress about being arrested by Federal law enforcement for doing so much as making Xerox copies at public libraries, checking out certain books, and taking photographs of various facilities.

Another sensitive topic discussed "off-site" is the total penetration of the Federal government by known Israeli intelligence agents -- a particularly radioactive topic since the two defeats (2002 and 2006) of Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) in primaries in which her opponents were heavily funded by pro-Israeli interests as well as the primary defeat of neighboring Rep. Earl Hilliard (D-AL) in 2002 by the same interests.

This is the other side of the issue you won't hear in the US and what imbedded reporters and the Bush PR machine either cannot get to or prefer these issues were not considered.
