Netanyahu, Unaware of Camera, Reveals Himself

2013-02-03T21:16:00.399Z

Netanyahu - "America Won't Get in Our Way..It's Easily Moved"
(Bibi thought the camera stopped recording)
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations on Iran.

Referring to the US, Netanyahu also says, "They asked me before the election if I'd honor [the Oslo accords]. I said I would, but ... I'm going to interpret the accords in such a way that would allow me to put an end to this galloping forward to the 1967 borders. How did we do it? Nobody said what defined military zones were. Defined military zones are security zones – as far as I'm concerned the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military zone ... Why does this matter? ... Because at that moment I actually stopped the Oslo Accord."

Now, this gives rise to a few questions. Firstly, what is it that America wants that Bibi does not? The answer is - for decades, America has wanted peace in the region by negotiating a two-state solution.

Secondly, what did Bibi mean when he said, "They won't get in our way?" ... our way ... Did he mean they won't get in his way of destroying Palestinians?

Thirdly, did Bibi mean "They" won't get in his way of "hitting them" with so much "pain" - like the current war?

Bibi then went on to explain that he knows how to manipulate the world, including America, in his attempts to get rid of Palestine and says "The main thing, first of all, is to hit them [Palestinians]. Not just one hit, so many painful its that the price will be to heavy to be borne. The price is not too heavy to be borne, now. A broad attack on the Palestinian Authority. To bring them to the point of being afraid that everything is collapsing."

It doesn't stop at this as Bibi goes on to describe how he can easily manipulate the world, including America, into saying "Israel has the right to defend itself." He says very clearly ""The world won’t say a thing. The world will say we’re defending. Especially today, with America, I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They [America] won’t get their way ... They won’t get in our way. They won’t get in our way.”

Some here may excuse Bibi's 2001 comments as being 11 years old. However, at the time the video surfaced, 2010, the Jerusalem Post (http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=182159) explained: "That was 9 years ago. Is there a “New Bibi?” Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy wrote, “Don’t try to claim that he has changed since then. Such a crooked way of thinking does not change over the years.” Netanyahu, he said, is “a con artist” who thinks “Washington is in his pocket and that he can pull the wool over its eyes.”

Israel's Psychological War & Its Effects On Palestinian Children

2013-01-21T17:08:52.850Z

The hostilities between Hamas and the Israeli military during the period of November 14 - 21, 2012 were harmful to the well-being of children and women. To better guide the humanitarian response in support of affected children, UNICEF coordinated a rapid psychosocial assessment on the impact of the situation on children. The assessment, carried out four days after declaration of the ceasefire, is a rapid evaluation of the situation of children in the most affected areas in Gaza. It does not represent the overall situation of children in Gaza.

The assessment showed that children living in all five Gaza governorates have been affected. It showed that children in north Gaza and Gaza City governorates were more affected compared to localities in the other governorates. The assessment also showed that there was no difference in the level of violence that girls and boys were exposed to, but the genders reacted differently. Boys showed more emotional symptoms, such as increased level of fear, and girls displayed more physical symptoms, such as changes in eating patterns and crying. Older children were proportionally more affected than younger ones.

One key dimension of children’s exposure to violence is witnessing destruction or damage, such as to the child’s home or neighbors’ homes. The assessment revealed the following:

- Children reported a high level of exposure to violence. Of the children surveyed, 83% reported that their homes were damaged or destroyed. Fifty children or 9%, reported that their houses were destroyed during the conflict, and 85% reported damage to their immediate surroundings. One quarter of the sample, 135 children, reported significant damage.

- Children in Gaza City reported the highest levels of destruction, followed in decreasing order by Khan Younis, north Gaza, Rafah and middle Gaza.

- Injuries were reported by 14 per cent of the children, either from a shell or due to bombing of their house. The highest levels of reported child injuries were in north Gaza, followed by Gaza City, Rafah, middle Gaza and Khan Younis.

- One quarter of the children (26%) witnessed up to three violent events. Almost half (46%) witnessed four to five violent events, and 28% witnessed six violent events. Older children reported significantly more experience in witnessing.

My Only Wish

2012-11-25T03:06:20.768Z

All your armies, all your fighters

All your tanks, and all your soldiers

Against a boy holding a stone

Standing there all alone

In his eyes I see the sun

In his smile I see the moon

And I wonder, I only wonder

Who is weak, and who is strong?

Who is right, and who is wrong?

And I wish, I only wish

That the truth has a tongue…

Miko Peled - "There's Nothing Jewish About The State Of Israel"

2012-11-06T17:49:58.383Z

Miko Peled is an Israeli Jewish peace activist who dares to say in public what others still choose to deny. He has credibility, so when he debunks myths that Jews around the world hold with blind loyalty, people listen. He confirms what many of us have known and been saying for years, "The name of the game: erasing Palestine, getting rid of the people and de-Arabizing the country..."

Peled has also explained in his various talks, around the world, how Israel governs with three sets of laws - one for Israeli Jews such as himself who can do and say what they please and for whom the system operates more or less like a democracy; and one for those Palestinians who are citizens of Israel comprising 30 laws that amount to "a whole culture of discrimination" against them specifically. Then there are laws that govern Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza which are "at the pleasure of the Israeli army - if they want to destroy they destroy, if they want to arrest and beat they arrest and beat, if they want to torture they torture, if they want to kill they kill, and Palestinians have no recourse. This is the reality.

"There's a Zionist education system that teaches racism in a very subtle way. There's an entire bureaucracy that is dedicated to making life impossible for Palestinians through all kinds of restrictions and permits and requirements that are absolutely uncalled-for and unnecessary but are all given and provided under the guise of security.

"And there is the Israeli army, which I like to refer to as one of the best trained and best equipped and best fed terrorist organisations in the world."
