Prisoner x

Democracy politicians are as cruel and sadistic as any dictatorship.  Take the Australian in the Israeli jail who managed to commit suicide.  No one knew he was even in Israeli prison.  His jailors only knew him as prisoner x.  We only know of him because of the Internet.   How politicians hate the Internet.  In Israel the press is a part of the Government and abide by Israel secrecy rules. In the US the New York Times and the Washington Post also do the bidding of the politicians and keep their secrets. This is why Wiki leaks and other free press sites are so hated.

A comment from the "Independent" in Great Britain 

Why Do Journalists and Media Companies Pretend the Battle Between Israel and Hamas is an Even One?
On one side you've got three generations of a family wiped out. On the other, a woman's got to ring Autoglass. And we act like this is battle whose fate is in the balance

By Mark Steel
November 20, 2012 "The Independent" -  To start with, why do the news channels ask Tony Blair for his advice on conflict in the Middle East? It’s like asking Gary Glitter for advice on what to do about Jimmy Savile.

But somehow it fits with the rest of the coverage. A report yesterday morning began with the sentence: “Rockets have continued to be fired from both sides...” Then, to illustrate this, we saw a demolished building in Gaza in which 11 people had perished, and a woman in Israel standing next to her car with a smashed windscreen. Which goes to show everyone’s suffering, what with three generations of a family getting wiped out on one side, and a woman having to ring Autoglass on the other. Honestly, they’re all as bad as each other.

By tomorrow, a spokesman for Israel will be on the news channels saying: “No other country would put up with this. We have citizens worried about losing no claims bonuses. If we don’t flatten their cities, what will we have to put up with next? Broken wing mirrors? Dents in passenger doors? Have you tried getting body repairs in Tel Aviv at short notice? So we have no choice but to destroy a hospital.”

Then we’ll see the funeral for the Palestinians, followed by the car owner wailing “O my beautiful laminated darling” as her windscreen gets tipped into a bin.

The reason so many get killed, says Benjamin Netanyahu, is that Hamas “hides behind civilians”. Because it’s the duty of anyone who gets assassinated to make sure they’re in a clear, open space at all times so the cruise missile aimed at them doesn’t bump into anyone else. That’s basic health and safety, that is.

But Hamas have become even more cunning in this conflict, because the commander the Israelis were aiming at in the building in which those 11 civilians were killed wasn’t there at all. At least if he’d bothered to be where the Israelis thought he was, the civilians would have died for a reason. Now, because he had the cheek to NOT hide behind civilians, they’ve been killed for nothing. There’s no end to their devilish methods is there?

But some Israelis are working for a solution. For example ex-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s son, Gilad, wrote in The Jerusalem Post: “To accomplish victory, you need to achieve what the other side can’t bear. The Americans didn’t stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren’t surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too. There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing.”

Even if they did drop a nuclear bomb, Netanyahu would say: “The reason so many were killed is Hamas hid Gaza behind its civilians. If they’d moved Gaza to somewhere safe like Greenland, the population would hardly notice a thing, but, as usual, Hamas cared only about propaganda.”

Then The Jerusalem Post would report “We’ve done Gaza a huge favour. Now none of their vehicles can move, so they’re spared the misery of trying to repair a broken windscreen.”

German nuke sub to Israel

Germany is to supply another Nuke sub to Israel. This will be the 6th. Israel keeps non-committal on their nuke program. As if it does not exist. Obviously it does or or why have nuclear submarines? Of all the nations that gave nuclear weapons Israel is the most dangerous. You can include North Korea, Pakistan and India in the list. Up to now it has not meant that much to me as I will not be around to bear the consequences when Israel uses the nuclear weapons on whom ever they decide to use them on. But I do have some descendants and I am concerned about their future now that Germany keeps supplying subs to Israel. How much does Germany think they owe Israel for the holocaust? Why doesn't Germany think it owes something more to the rest of the world? Like Pilate American politic1ans keep quiet and say nothing. They wash their hands and do not take responsibility about their actions. They let that maniac Netanyahu determine world events. Well, folks. It's your world not mine for long. So you say nothing and let events take their course. It's your world. So live in it.

Every day closer to war in the mid east.

One thing I have about a coming war with Iran would be the destruction of the ancient artifacts of the region.  As in Iraq where there was major destruction it will be worse in Iran because the US or Israel will use nukes if Iran is able to put up strong resistance. A total shame. Remember it was the US pushing Japan to the wall with an oil embargo which  brought the US into WW2.  For 1,000 days 800 Americans a day were killed or wounded.  
In other words in a week   there were more Americans casualties  than in the entire Iraq war.

Foreign Aid to Despots

It seems that the foreign aid going to the middle east is going to fund the armies in countries like Egypt, Iraq, Saudia Arabia and others to be used against their own people. ..........Afghanistan Israel............
