 Some Things Never ChangePosted on Nov 5, 2008
While many in the world are looking forward to change, an Israeli airstrike proved that some things never will. After a four-month cease-fire between Israeli and Palestinian fighters, Israel launched an attack into the Gaza Strip Tuesday evening, killing six in an allegedly pre-emptive strike.

I have been documenting this evolving movement of regenerative designs that yogurt culture the lands into food forests, and greens the deserts. Its called permaculture. I need to urge you all. Know that there are people working together down in the Arava desert and from all regions of the world. Seek these new design science elements within the permaculture research institute as the path to peace and the new frontier out of the petroleum age. Its the best thing to happen to humanity since the internal combustion engine. I think Israel is going to save the world if we empower the permaculture (zionist) movement of social networking the intellectual design of the jewish people. The green tech from Israel is perhaps the best in the world. I have to make another warning, before Israel pulled out of the Gaza,Israel left behind state of the art greenhouses that the Hamas destroyed. We want to turn the Gaza strip into a demonstration site for green cities. How do we get there when the insurgency of Iran aka Hamas keep sabotaging efforts. The corruption in oil profits can be scapegoated. The imperial game of consumption is even reflected in deeper addictions of denial from the peace and justice movement and their hatred towards Israel. Get sustainable. Find permaculture now. America, you live in a seedless world, you are 2% local, everything you consume comes from far away. Depletion cliffs in energy are happening now. Are you sure you are informed?

...... it was the zionist money men close to power in the US and UK who insisted that the UNRWA was set up so as to distinguish and isolate the Palestinian refugees from others, so that their inalienable legal right of return could be undermined.
It has served the zionist propaganda effort since.
If you are going to cite history, do try to get it right.

No comparison. Gazans are supported on the dole of the U.N. Not by the UN Refugee dept’t which has and continues to settle millions of refugees the world over. No, the Gazans have their own UN Dep’t that was insisted upon by the Arab countries that has never wanted them. This very special dep’t gives them food, housing, and economic benefits for over 60 years.
Report thisWish the Warsaw occupants had a teensy wintsy bit of that food, if nothing else. That was true genocide.
Only genocide in Gaza is what they promulgate and threaten to do to the Israelis !

Yeah,
Report thislet us see. A tunnel being dug into Israel to capture another soldier certainly requires a response. Good for Israel. 3 cheers.
Especially since rocket fire from Gaza last week into Israel actually violated the truce. Acording to the New York Times today !

Re: O Dar, you are exactly correct, but I think it is more than that. Having read the article, I am sure that the Israelis are again, trying to sabotage the ceasefire, through the use of “limited force.”
Report thisHow ridiculous a statement is this? Use of any force is a breaking of the ceasefire and the Palestinians did not break a ceasefire of 4 months with Israel.
What I do not understand, is the cavalier way in which Israel, can make a statement that this was a use of limited force in response to a specific threat when no threat was imminent?
This is the worst and most egregious use of the shrub’s doctrine of pre-emptive war and use of force against an enemy I have seen, except maybe for Afghanistan, Iraq, soon to be Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and all the other “hot spots,” in the world.
Should we now accept this doctrine of strike first, before you hit me? The World Court of Justice needs to be more powerful and as Americans, we need to heed the World Court more carefully.
