“Today My Body Was A TV’ed Massacre…” – The Disregard for the Palestinian Plight

  • The reported numbers of Palestinians killed since the ILLEGAL Israeli occupation of 1967 is 200,000 bodies (this does not count the numbers since the 1948 cleansing). That means that every year at least 2000 Palestinians are killed (if you wanna go by a mathematical average per year the number would be 4,545).
  • Since the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the abolishing of its people 5,000,000 Palestinian refugees have been created, left to roam the world like some unwanted visitor to the country that will deign to have them.
  • 21,000 square kilometers of PALESTINIAN land (as agreed upon in 1967) has been ILLEGALLY annexed by Israeli forces and settlers.
  • 385 towns and villages have been destroyed.
  • About 300 billion military dollars have been spent on the Israeli military to help carry out these war crimes.
  • 100+ WMD‘s have been manufactured by and for Israel.
  • 65 UN resolutions calling out for aid and truly just peace-making have been ignored.

The amount of statistics and the information available is startling and the numbers which are displayed are so horrifying they make my bones ache. No amount of statistics or information is EVER going to relay the true state of pain and destitution which the Palestinians suffer every day both in and out of Palestine.

How can this message be ignored or put aside to make way for pointless shenanigans when there are hundreds of people dieing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY brutally, innocently, and UNDER ILLEGAL PRETENSE right under our noses? How can we endlessly spread and allow videos of cats or squirrels or blithering auto-tuned singers to gain millions upon millions of views on youtube and yet THIS kind of video is cast aside?

I honestly don’t know what to say. But I ask that whoever sees this to please re-post, re-tweet, re-status, re-whatever you want THIS MESSAGE put beautifully by Rafeef Ziadah (which I myself have just come across), because even though “no soundbytes” will ever fix the horrendous damage done, we can only hope to make a change towards raising enough awareness to make sure it does not continue to happen.

All my love!

Well, Well, Well… – Sarkozy calls Netanyahu a liar, Obama kinda agrees

Now, I’ve been an avid supporter of the creation of the State of Palestine since, well, forever. The injustice of the ILLEGAL OCCUPATION–as outlined by International Law, UN Security Council and the General Assembly, and the rest of the world (besides USA, Israel, and a few dots)–of Palestinian territory by Israeli forces and illegal settlers is absolutely astounding to me. Even more astoundingly unjust is the way and the notion under which the “State of Israel” was created in the first place.

This injustice was further perpetrated by the US and Israel two months ago at the UN Summit.

I’ve never had any reservations about calling President Obama a full-fledged hypocrite. He has consistently shown measures of hypocritical decision-making both in his own country’s affairs as well as in foreign issues. One minute he happily supports the creation of the Palestinian state, and the next he is nixing the idea because he is, that’s right, Netanyahu’s lap dog. And, what’s most startling about this hypocrisy is that you can’t even say that President Obama is a stupid, under-educated man like many presidents that preceded him–especially NOT when it comes to the issue of the Palestinians. President Obama was an acquaintance of the late and great scholar Professor Edward Said (a life-long supporter of the Palestinian cause), and was known to attend many of his lectures and talks which circulate around this subject (PROOF! PROOOF!). Obama is perhaps the smartest president that America has ever had. Yet, in all his knowledge and awareness of the injustice that the Palestinians are going through under these ILLEGAL occupations, he hypocritically supports Netanyahu in these actions and denies the Palestinians the right to recognition which every other person in the world enjoys. Obama commits this hypocrisy in the face of well over 120 countries who have voted in favor of the Palestinian state (many of which are close allies of the USA).

This Reuters article (and the video) which I just came across goes to embarrassingly show what a hypocritical lap dog Obama really is and that he actually KNOWS and is not oblivious to the war crimes which are being perpetrated by the completely ILLEGAL occupation of the State of Palestine by Israel and by Netanyahu.
