A Picture is Worth 1000 Words

[MiChuhSuh]

Imagine these are your sons and daughters or little brothers and sisters.

A recent mortar attack targeted a UN-run school that was being used as a shelter. This attack killed more than 600 people, 195 of them children.

























I will update this thread as more images come out.

These are your tax dollars people.

The US sends $3 billion to Israel annually, much of that going to military funding. These attacks used US made weaponry as well.

Our own government is putting this blood on our hands by using our tax money to fund these war crimes and terrorism. We cannot let this continue and put a blind eye to these atrocities.

And people wonder why TAXES is going up every year. Yup you name it. WAR!

The U.S. gives more monetary aid to Israel than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

But it was cool for the U.S. to smash Iraq??



The real motive for war in Iraq is a strategic one, which involves a lot of money: oil. The United States relies on oil to supply about 40% of its energy requirements, more than any other source. At one time, it relied almost entirely on domestic oil to supply its needs, but the demand has grown rapidly, and the U.S. oil fields are rapidly being exhausted. Today, the U.S.A. now relies on imported oil for 55 percent of its requirements, and this percentage is expected to rise to 65 percent in 2020, and keep growing thereafter. The Persian Gulf area currently accounts for 30% of global oil production, but contains two-thirds of the planet's known reserves, so its access is vital to the Americans.

Saudi Arabia is America's largest supplier of imported oil. It has more oil than any other country — about 250 billion barrels, or one-fourth of the world's reserves. The Americans want to find an alternative source if access to Saudi Arabia is curtailed for any reason. The only country in the world with large enough reserves to compensate for the loss of Saudi Arabia is Iraq, with at least 112 billion barrels in proven reserves, and as much as 200-300 billion barrels of potential reserves.

Bush told lie after lieand still gained major support and won a second term. "Tear it up, kill the women and kids, impliment a new government and build the country back up."

Nah Israel took a play straight out of our playbook.

Same overreaction, same air strikes followed by ground maneuvers, followed by occupation.

While we may not be able to go to Gaza and directly take action to help, we are Americans and our own government is putting this blood in our hands!!! We give $3 billion annually directly and a total of $6 billion of our tax dollars annually if you count all forms of aid to the government of Israel!!!

What we can do is taken action here at home! There will be two protests this weekend - Saturday and Sunday both at noon to afternoon in front of the Federal Building in Westwood.

wtf

I thought I made this warning large in the last posts, but it messed up somehow, sorry.

[whiskeyjack]

im reading a lot on the news how Israel is bombing schools, killing aid workers, and using there puppets to pass a law that makes it illigeal to boycott anything dealing with israel...

Thats speaking for itself, and it is surely not helping the image people have of them

[whiskeyjack]

type tungsten bombs in a google search engine, come up with your own opinions

and warning what you are going to see will be worse then the victims of depleted uranium shells if you ask me

[Babmuk]

Well as i understood it was all politics..cauze there gonna be a new prime minister soon and he said that he will enter into Gaza..Well somebody did it before him and then i've seen commercials on the street that he supports IDF and shit....I heard the war is over..seen yesterday 6 f16s or f 15s coming back from Gaza to the northern base..i just don't understand..they really think that HAMAS is gonna put their hands down and say we give up?lol

[VostokSila]

This war was stupid, nothing was accomplished, some HAMAS killed but nothing more.
lol I always laugh when americans or people who dont live here try to analyze the sh*t that's going on.. you dont know sh*t about sh*t. If a HAMAS guy choses to grab 2 kids to stop soldiers from killing him and it does not always work out for him than its not realy the soldiers fault. lol that picture where the soldier "aims" at the kid is a real poor propaganda trick lol.. his finger is not even on the trigger.. and if you look at the back of the gun (dont know how its called in english) its not leaning against his shoulder.. its not a shooting position.
you can look at pics of buses after them HAMAS guys blew them up... same shit.. arms hanging around with no bodies attached to them. In this war.. atleast 70% of the people who got killed are HAMASes.

Your heart bleeds over what you see in your american media.. lol they love to take things to unproportional levels.

One simple fact, acknowledged and denounced by established experts in the field, is that Israel is not respecting international humanitarian law. The first obligation is that an occupying power has the obligation to preserve the life of populations, to protect them, to nourish them and to care for them. That is manifestly not the case here."

La Libre Belgique, 13 January 2009

[MiChuhSuh]

The EU and the UN are fully acknowledging this was a violation of international law.

I don't think the picture try to show an execution, it's just symbolic... No kids should be confronted to a soldier coming in his house breaking the doors. No need to say that when this kid will be older there's a big chance he join the Hamas.

They used illegal weapon there in this dirty war, they should be juged for war crime, nothing less !
