U.N. Delays Vote On Goldstone Report-Abbas Under Siege

The U.N. delayed a crucial vote on the Goldstone report on Israeli and Hamas war crimes for six months after pressure from the U.S. and Israel and the tacit approval of the Palestinian Authority.

The outcry in the occupied territories was immediate.

The Israeli invasion into the Gaza Strip resulted in over 1400 Palestinian deaths, with the majority of the casualties being women and children. The Israeli Army reported 10 soldiers killed and 3 Israeli civilians.

Approving the vote delay implies that Abbas is a total lackey to Washington and Israel. Failing to expose Israeli war crimes, and have the nations of the world recognize them as war criminals, severely weakens the cause of freedom and justice for the Palestinian people. Without justice there can be no peace.

The Palestinian people have been subjected to endless injustices by Israel since the states founding in 1948. Palestinians have had their land seized, their leaders isolated and assassinated, their farms and houses bulldozed, and women and children murdered.

Israel has not been sanctioned, embargoed, or even threatened for it's heinous actions by the U.N. or Western powers.

Why?

Saddam Husein, Manuel Noriega, and Hugo Chavez have been hanged, jailed, and ostracized for far less. Our nation is a nation of hypocrites. Justice depends on skin color, ethnic background, and money. The Palestinians are the Native Americans of the middle east. Their culture, religion, and heritage mean nothing to the western powers who are still fighting the crusades.

Delaying the vote was the final straw for the Palestinian people. The protests are just the beginning. Already riots are taking place in Jerusalem as Israel seized the third holiest shrine in Islam so that Jewish pilgrims could pray at a piece of a wall. Abbas will be targeted next. Although Palestinians are rarely assassinated by Palestinians, Abbas just became a prime target. Turncoats and collaborators generally get what they deserve.

Goldstone Defends Israeli War Crimes Report

Richard Goldstone was called upon to defend his report to the U.N on war crimes committed by Israel and Hamas during their conflict last year.

Fareed Zakaria, the token Muslim from CNN, tried hard to equate the actions of Hamas with the heinous crimes Israel committed.

While Hamas fired highly inaccurate rockets towards Israel in hopes of hitting a substantial target, Israel responded with phosphorous shell, human shields, and shelling schools, hospitals, farms, and flour factories. Hardly a fair comparison.

No video evidence. No interviews with Palestinians. No body counts. Just a sad attempt to make both parties equally responsible.

Any doubts that the media is controlled by Israeli sympathizers were shot to hell. Even Richard Goldstone, a Jew, has demanded action against Israel, something our nation has refused to do.

Thanks for your efforts Mr. Goldstone. In keeping with the old saying "tell the truth, then leave immediately."

Racists Kill Black Man in Paris, Texas

The New Black Panthers faced down racists in Paris, Texas, a town famous for lynchings during the Klan heyday.

While I don't agree with all of the tenets of the New Black Panthers, I am glad to see that they have embraced self defense and are unafraid of cops and klansmen (at least until someone gets shot).

Brother james Byrd was dragged to his death by racists, who got life in prison instead of death. Texas is still a racist state. Blacks and Hispanics are treated as second class citizens throughout the state. In an area where the Comanche once ruled, none are to be found.

Where is our Black Attorney General and President when we really need them? Are they afraid to stick their necks out for racial justice because of how it may appear to whites.

One day one of these demonstrations will explode in violence and innocent people will be killed. then maybe the federal government will pay attention and investigate racial killings and hate crimes.

Israel Commits War Crimes-Why We Should Care

For the last 60 years, the United States and most of the western world have had a love affair with the state of Israel. Any person, black or white, who denounces Israel for any of it's actions is labled anti-semetic, is banned from radio and television, and is never seen or heard from publicly again. Does anyone ever ask why?

I remember watching with the rest of the world in horror as Israel invaded Lebanon in the 1980's and again in 2006. I was sickned when the Israel Defense Forces allowed Christian mititias into Palestinian refugee camps to slaughter thousands of harmless refugees in Chabra and Chatilla. No person was ever charged with this heinous war crime while Charles Taylor sits before a tribunal in the Hague.

The plight of the Palestinian is very much like the plight of our own Native Americans. The Palestinians have lived in the area west of the Jordan River for thousands of years. Shortly after WW I the area was governed by the British as part of their imperial empire. The British decided, as part of their mandate, to establich a Jewish homeland in the area, with full consideration for the civil rights of the Arab population. The Arabs staged a revolt due to the increased immigration of Jews to the area. Just like the Native Americans, the Palestinians were denied the right to control who entered their own country. The Jews were flooding the country and were given better resources, like schools, hospitals, and banks. After WW II, the Western powers felt sorry for the Jews who had been the victims of genocide in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia. As a result, the British ended their occupation in 1948, but not before voting in the UN to create a Jewish state right along the coast, including half of Jeruselem. No single Arab or Muslim nation voted for the resolution. They declared war on the Jewish state. However, due to superior training and equipment by the British and US forces, the Jews were able to defeat the Arab forces, drive three million into exile, and continue to build settlements with impunity. Any Arabs who protest are either assasinated, have their homes destroyed, or driven into exile. Sound familiar? The same thing happened to the Native Americans here.

The Americans have set the tone with Israel. They have demonstrated that you can invade any country you wish if you percieve them as a threat. Torture anyone you like. Wiretap and assasinate anyone you wish. All in the name of national security. The Palestinians have no jets, tanks, APCs, or even flak jackets. They are fighting for their land with rifles, rocks, and poorly made rockets. Much like the bows, arrows, rifles and slings of our Native people. The Palestinians have no united front to assist them with anything other than good wishes. Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq do not assist them when they are enduring massive air and ground attacks meant to destroy their will to resist. Just as no nation assisted the Lakota, Apache, Navajo, Creek, and Cheyenne as their land was being stolen.

Now the Israelis are using Palestianians as human shields because they failed to get any to collaborate with them. The United States and Western powers have said nothing. The International Criminal Court of Justice has filed no charges. And somewhere, Charles Taylor is pissed!

I guess the reason the US and western powers blindly agree with any action taken by Israel is because we generally worship a Jew who we think will someday return. For Him to return, the Christians and Jews must control Jeruselem so that Jesus has a place to set up shop. It also makes it easier to visit the Holy Sites when you don't have to deal with any dirty stinking Arabs. The western powers have also determined that no Arab countries can have nuclear power, or weapons. Israel has nuclear weapons and power plants yet, the UN never demands inspections. The Palestinian leaders with any backbone are isolated, assasinated, or exiled. We never ask why because we know the reason, free land for Jesus!
