Segments from all over the place
This video is utterly amazing! I don't know who Galloway is exactly, but the way he is outrightly talking at the media and pointing out the ways they mislead their viewers consistently, even in the framing of questions to him, is great. And I love when the reporter, towards the end, asks him to let her finish her question, when she had all along been interrupting him as soon as he says something a little too controversial.
Israel responded to an unprovoked attack by Hizbullah, right? Wrong! This is what Galloway is talking about when he's referring to Israel crossing the Blue Line and kidnapping and killing civilians.
And this is the Israeli 'response' to being 'provoked'. Click on this link, then click again on the image to see before and after photos of Haret-Hreik in Lebanon. Warning: this is not a photo of what it looks like when you get the high score in a video game. It might seem similar to some.
And here is a segment from a Guardian article this morning: "Israel also threatened to attack UN peacekeepers if they attempted to repair bomb-damaged bridges in southern Lebanon. UN officials contacted the Israeli army to inform them that a team of Chinese military engineers attached to the UN force in Lebanon intended to repair the bridge on the Beirut to Tyre road to enable the transport of humanitarian supplies. According to the UN, Israeli officials said the engineers would become a target if they attempted to repair the bridge." And y'all think a foreign force in Lebanon is going to be respected by Israel when they're willing to attack peacekeepers bringing humanitarian aid?
The difference between the presses: Columnist after columnist in Israeli newspapers encourage the IDF to keep on blasting more of Lebanon. In An-Nahar, a Lebanese paper, a columnist, who is a Lebanese Shi'ite, pleas to Nasrallah to avoid hitting Israeli civilian areas. This while the New York Times continues to highlight Israeli casualties, still making no distinction between military and civilian, while hardly ever mentioning actual numbers of Lebanese civilian deaths. Maybe because the actual civilian ratio is something like 30 to 1.
Palestinians and Hezbollah
Al-Quds Al-`Arabi reports that a Palestinian man was stopped at an Israeli checkpoint north of the West Bank. He was asked to curse Hasan Nasrallah, and when he refused, they confiscated his papers, held him for hours, and then they hit him.
A new public opinion survey among Palestinians revealed that 97% support Hizbullah. The percentage of Palestinians who support peace with Israel dropped from 76% in June to 51% now.
Oblivion in the US and the military of a "democratic" nation
Apparently there's nothing like a good game of golf before a raping murderous rampage followed by grilled chicken wings. This is the army that is bringing DEMOCRACY to the Middle East?
In the meantime half (HALF! 50%!) of Americans still believe that Saddam had WMDs.
