More bombing and killing in Gaza. Benjamin Deuteronomy appears on all four major broadcast networks in USA, to deliver the same tired propaganda package, to which everyone watching is of course meant to apply instant unquestioning subscription.<br /><br />Another view, from somebody who's actually seen some of the horrors Bibi the Hard hath wrought:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR1LGoNg5p4&feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow">Jon Snow: Back from Gaza, 26 July 2014</a><br /><br />And meanwhile -- Haaretz, 26 July, on Tel Aviv anti-war protest, disrupted by pro-war demonstrators:<br /><br />"The ill-will felt towards the Israeli left could be gauged well among the group of right-wing protesters that the police corralled in a separate part of the plaza. They continually shouted 'Death to the leftists' and expressed hope that 'a rocket from Gaza' would kill them. In addition they merrily sang 'Why is there no school in Gaza? Because no more kids are left.' Some protesters tried to convince this group to stop singing these songs as they were detrimental to the message of support for the IDF that they were trying to promote, but to no avail."TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-58016228800931725572014-07-27T13:31:42.700-07:002014-07-27T13:31:42.700-07:00Every day I come here to read the words and look (...Every day I come here to read the words and look (as much as I can) at the photographs—most other “news” about Gaza being just a daily whitewashing of this willful, grotesque exercise in death and destruction. To say that we suffer (some of us, anyway) along with the people of Gaza is inadequate, though it's true, and necessary. There’s no consolation in it.Hazenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417573435195561519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-2295456513894478052014-07-27T10:09:06.985-07:002014-07-27T10:09:06.985-07:00Deuteronomy's right.

All the kids out playing footie in the road and looking forward to Eid. <br /><br />We have to have a clear picture of the possibility of hell for ourselves - a moral imperative - so that we can know how close to impossible hope is.Mose23https://www.blogger.com/profile/01100756913131511440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-44535460072850134422014-07-27T02:10:33.678-07:002014-07-27T02:10:33.678-07:00Bobby Womack: Across 110th Street
