VIDEO:  

Israeli Military in the Occupied Territories aka Palestinian Territories

VERY INFORMATIVE!!!  Right now I can only testify that the first 20 minutes of this film shows no physically gruesome photos or film but I seriously can't watch any more at this time because I am feeling nauseous and my eyes are filled with tears.  HOW CAN A SO-CALLED DEMOCRACY (THE USA) PAY FOR THIS? 

I have watched many films but this one is different because it is so many Israelis talking or maybe it is because it is not dead faces but faces with the torture they experienced right behind their eyes - you can see it in these young men - and just a sliver of a glance at the horrific, life altering torture and terror they experienced as a child or maybe it is just overload on the terrible things that are going on in so many places in the world that we hear about, just maybe. But whatever it is - I am weak and must turn in off - what A PARADISE I LIVE IN THAT I CAN TOUCH A BUTTON AND TURN IT OFF. 

ALLAH FORGIVE ME.

"Breaking the Silence" an ex-Israeli soldiers' organization is in the film, as well. The founder, Yehuda Shaul,

tells how he doesn't remember children in the West Bank because it was them (no matter what age) and us. I actually thought he was going to say that in the past they didn't do that to kids - I was wrong.

Sectarian Violence in Egypt or is it the Temporary Government?

Summary of Video:
After their church was burned down, Coptic Christians took to the streets. The military was very brutal - shooting w/ live ammunition, tanks running over demonstrators, and horrible beatings. The Egyptian TV showed that the Christians were the aggressors. Response of the Egyptians: another demonstration with Christians and Muslims joining together in the streets chanting: "Muslims Christians are One!!!" It seems the temporary gov. may be trying the same tactics that Mubarak used by trying to get Egyptian to fight Egyptian... and now the people are trying to keep this from happening.

What Animal is used to destroy houses, destroy trees that are over 100 years old, terrify big and small children, cause thousands to cry, and remove a Population of People one house, one family, and one heart at a time?

THE ANSWER: CATERPILLAR

 An armored Caterpillar D9R Bulldozer used by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

I wonder how many lives and households this dozer has tried to destroy? It was a Caterpillar Bulldozer like this that ran over Peace Activist - Rachel Corrie. (Read about her short life and what she did on the internet and see below in the video what she believed in at a very young age - She is one of my role models!!!)

RACHEL CORRIE'S PARENTS ARE AGAINST caterpillar 

RECEIVING AN AWARD AND $25,000 

FROM THE National Building Museum.

 

What can you do?  Write to Chase W. Rynd, Executive Director, crynd@nbm.org and politely tell her that the National Building Museum should rescind the Turner Prize from Caterpillar.  They are receiving the award and $25,000!!! 

For what?  DESTRUCTION not construction is how they have affected millions of lives.  

Rachel Corrie was a wonderful person and not because of the way she died under a Caterpillar but how she lived her life and the values she held from the time she was a very young girl. May God grant her a special place in Paradise and may she inspire all of us to do more good in this world. Ameen.
