The above pic is titled 'courage'. It might as well be 'desperation' or 'short sightedness'. Hat Tip to Ute via Memphis Steve.
On a more sombre note, following the UN Human Rights Council's vote on the Goldstone Report, the Israeli government and the Israel lobby generally are predictably screaming the house down. Here's a reminder of what it was all about. Warning: some disturbing images and one absolute shocker.
Guilty as charged.... the Switzerland comment by the last speaker was superb.
ReplyDeleteI've always avoided the Israel - Palestine argument, but that video was powerful. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteRe: Photo of dog/tiger: Oh my *blush*
ReplyDeleteJimmy - quite so.
ReplyDeleteMike - I tend to avoid the topic too despite having strong views - it brings the crazies out to play but occasionally I just have to say/put up something.
The video is powerful - I am still in shock at the semi-carbonised dead baby. We didn't get that kind of image in the west. 'Humankind cannot bear very much reality' (TS Eliot)
JoJo - What can the dog have 'thought' it was doing? well apart from the obvious...
That was funny! Love the photo.

Whoa WR... That video clip was chilling. My father was a real history buff, and echoed many of the same ideas about Israel and Palestine.
ReplyDeleteI normally don't speak up about any of it because many are quick to jump to the conclusion that you are an Anti Semite, and I am not. But I'm not a blind patriot of my own country or any one else's.
Good for you for speaking up.
