Eileen,
Thanks for the links to and info for Sameh
Here’s a single piece of information from his diary that made my blood curdle, even though I’m not surprised..

•  ” Israeli MP and Leader: Afghdor Liberman says that “Gaza has to be erased from the Map by Nuclear bombs like what Americans used in Heroshima and Nagazaki.”

So no, I’m not surprised, but I’m still terrorized, and I’m not even in Gaza or any other part of the Middle East. At least not physically. I’m just feeling the terror that the Palestinians have been subjected to for all of this time.

Have you met 23 year old Sameh A. Habeeb, in Gaza?

The Israelis have now progressed so obscenely beyond crazy that it’s indescribable; at least in terms of any language I know.

And, as I read that these crazy bastards have AGAIN blasted/bombed THE UNITED NATIONS FACILITIES,(guess the school and all of those kids was just the appetizer)there is TV buzz in the background, talking endless about an apparent US Airways incident) ZERO mention on any US News media currently airing, about the fact that Israel is blowing up United Nations facilities, killing and injuring UN employees in addition to the civilians they are there to assist.

This is why the rest of the WORLD has condemned Israel, except for the US of course.

Anyway, I’m glad to get this information from the professional Palestinian journalists that can provide it, and yes…I’m thankful for the technology as well. The links are really helpful too; especially the Bowen Diary. That’s a real ‘find’ for some of us looking for the real story as it is unfolding, instead of this god damned prepacked propaganda.

So thanks for the “leads” TD!

SAVAGED BY A DEAD SHEEP - THE BBC ON GENOCIDE

How odd. Or not, as you may think. Jeremy Bowen is not even mildly critical of Israel in his Bowen diary: Damascus to Jerusalem.

Today what is NOT said is most important in reading or listening to the BBC. It is just like reading Pravda - “Truth,” the party newspaper of the Soviet Union.

“In the old Soviet Union, various Russian friends were often surprisingly well informed about the world despite the fact that their view of it was largely shaped by their New York Times, Pravda. When asked how do you find out what’s really going on, they would give secret smiles: “You must know how to read Pravda.” -Gore Vidal

John Pilger - on the MSM - ‘better than Pravda’

“During the Cold War, a group of Russian journalists toured the United States. On the final day of their visit, they were asked by their hosts for their impressions. ‘I have to tell you,’ said their spokesman, ‘that we were astonished to find after reading all the newspapers and watching TV, that all the opinions on all the vital issues were by and large, the same. To get that result in our country, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here, you don’t have that. What’s the secret? How do you do it?”

They do it this way.

The fawning BBC are NEVER even remotely critical of Israel. Under BBC guidelines Israelis are ‘killed,’ and Palestinians have ‘casualties.’ How many decades is it since the BBC banned reporting of the deliberate ‘murder’ of Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces? Deliberate murder, whether by snipers shooting ten year old schoolgirls in the head or by helicopters firing missiles at cars and houses. They actually issued a memo about it. Really.

In that respect, the BBC is even less useful than the US MSM. Were that possible.

But congratulations for Jeremy Bowen for showing the very slightest backbone. ‘Has improved. A very long way to go.’

HOW TO READ PRAVDA?
Well Gore Vidal says that the Russians used to say that you hold it up to the light, turn it upside down and look at it just so ...

The rest of us might prefer to a) pick trusted information sources; Gore Vidal, John Pilger, naturally enough, and lots of others. And avoid the MSM entirely. And avoid the BBC, except for noting what it leaves out.

One feels as sorry for the Israelis for what they have become as one feels for the Palestinians and the lack of moral leadership from Washington is simply appalling.  Obama is too small for the office he was elected to.
