Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

Shame

 

 

This past weekend, the massacre of 24 unarmed Iraqis in the town of Haditha at the hands of US Marines broke major news, after being covered up for months. This outrage concentrates exactly what this unjust war and the whole Bush agenda is all about. The video interview of an Iraqi girl who survived the massacre while her family and neighbors were murdered is now available on worldcantwait.org, as well as more information on this war crime. Watch it, spread it, and resist.

Shame

 

 A cruel cat and mouse game
Rima Merriman, The Electronic Intifada, 20 May 2006

 

When the operation in Jenin and Qabatiya was all over, the Israeli soldiers who had chased and slaughtered these six men no doubt tore back to their base high-fiving and congratulating themselves on their "victory", discussing the fine points of their hunt, the dumbness and poverty of their cornered prey and the skill with which they executed their little pathetic exercise.

Once targeted, Palestinian youth do not have even a sporting chance. Considered "lawful targets", they might as well be unarmed gladiators pitted against all manner of wild beasts. The Israeli supreme court routinely puts the stamp of judicial approval, not only on this kind of extrajudicial killing of Palestinians, but also on various schemes the ultimate goal of which is to control demographics and to seize Palestinian land and resources.
