Iraq

Today my teacher hit a nerve in his discussion in class; it is a good discussion topic. i agree with teacher but i also have my thoughts


for a long time now America has supported Israel especially when 1/3rd of US Foreign Aid goes to Israel (not including religious groups that donate and cooprate level support), and I think Israel behind all the trouble America is in. it was mention in class that bush referred to middle eastern countries as being a part of  "the axis of evil" countries like Syria, Iran, and Iraq.   Well let’s see here these evil countries are a threat to whom? America? The answer is no, but they sure surround Israel geographically so it is a threat to Israel, and the largest pro Israel lobby is in the United States. although I am not extremely religious and I don't know if this a coincidence or not, but in the old testament of the bible which is know as the Jewish Torah it is say that Israel should be from the Euphrates river in Iraq to the Mediterranean sea. and that river is in Iraq so does this mean it is happened because we started attacking Iraq and now it seems like Iran might be next then probably Syria that is if we make through Iran. So I thought that was ironic. That fundamentalist Baptist Jews in Israel actually believe it and the sad thing is that they run most of the Israeli government.

I personally think the United States attacked Iraq to protect Israel from Saddam, if we recall in 1990 Iraq was attack by USA because they attacked Saudi Arabia and also Launched scud missiles at Israel I believe it was 2 or 3 missiles I think one landed in the Med. Sea and one hit a train tracks in Haifa as I recall since I was in Israel at the time. now sadam's punishment was to paralyze his country economically for I believe the UN said 10 or 11 years it was called embargo again Iraq and they also prevented him from having a voice in OPEC, the Ironic thing about this is that right when his punishment was over and he is suppose to be allowed back in the economy and be freed WE attacked before he can enter the economy. The United States feared him getting money and creating weapons of mass destruction and launching them again Israel his only sworn enemy.

thanks to econoclast comment it brought up another point, and i have replied to it.  but also most religious groups such as the New York Jews who own most of wall street give a lot of support to isreael and push for the Israeli American allies connection, and here is a web article that proves most of this at least the lobby part in the United states http://www.fpif.org/papers/usisrael_body.html

the power of media

March 23 2007

this evening i was playing a online multiplayer game that people play from all over the world, it is called FEAR it stand for First Encounter Assult Rubicon, it is a fighting game and you are a solider who has a name, so since i am from Israel and my decedants are palestine of orgin i thought i would name myself PALESTINE. as i was playing for a few hours one of the players name "fag_from_israel" sent me a message saying "Palestine does not exist, and just for fun we keep a few around in Gaza that we kill like rats" so i said "i know, but how is the world letting you get away with that?" and he told me "simple we have the media in israel and america convinced the world that people like you and all arabs are terrorists, therefor the world view is on our side and can kills as many as we like" so i asked have you killed any? and he said "yes, i was in a high position in the israeli army". it was very hard for me to with hold my anger but i had to remind myself i can not blame this guy for the way he was raised and most people that are born there either arabic or israeli jews are taught to hate eachother.

the media is powerful when the people they are preaching to are ignorant or only the majority have a max of 9th grade level worth of brains. just like when the US media said Sharon (use to be priminster of israel) is a man of peace. most people believed that, but i hate to burst the bubble, but that is bullshit. if the media did its homework on researching who Ariel Sharon is and whats his past look like they would not have said that. http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0313-08.htm this is a really good article.

so i guess the moral of this story is that the media is used as a very very powerful tool to justifiy killings and whipe a whole nation like palestine that barely exists. i was really shocked by that person's remark, but unfortuantly he is right most of the world think arabs or palestinians are muslim, and that is not true because i am christian and my roots are arabic. it is one of those things we have a few bad students in the class so the whole class gets punished because of them.

this did not make the US news

just wondering when is our US government was planing to tell the people that as of yesterday the FOURTH US Battle ship has arrived near Iran? does that mean we are preparing for another war and to further destroy our own economy? i think this one will not be like iraq, because people in iraq didn't like sadam enough to defend him which is why they had a civil war in the early 90's, but in Iran the majority likes their leader so there for they will fight if things go to war.

but apparently the US media does not think that having four ships parked with in launching attack range of iran is news worthy they would rather keep anna nicole smith as a moralless role model of being a drugy, having ilegitmate children and when she dies people's greed kick in and now that baby has money over his head, making everyone the father. i just don't see Anna as being newsworthy, she is one person dead, but if we go to Iran there well be alot more dead. i would rather hear about what is going to happen with those four ships and until today i have not seen anything about this issue on US media only on Al-jazzera Sattelite channel in arabic. so if someone has heard about this it will be nice to share some information.

leaders?

i recently learned that our president gets a week vacation a month, as well as people like chaney, i think that is crap, because they should be trying to figure out a solution not out golfing and hunting, i mean hell is breaking loose and these people are on vacation, maybe bush and chaney should go to the front lines and try their vacation there, well maybe not chaney he might shoot our own solders since he shot his hunting buddy.

when he does go to iraq in the begining of the war, the media makes a headline like this "president bush made a surprise visit to iraq". now my question is who in the heck likes a surprise visit from their boss while they are working?

maybe we should change the way the office is runing maybe make it so every citizen gets a turn kind of like a joury duty that way this country will be run by the people.
