Watching a girl die on video.
by Boltlady
Is there anybody out there who hasn't seen it? The media has had a grand time zeroing in on every drop of blood they can find in the unrest in Iran.

Where was the same media when the Israelis were murdering 1500 people in Gaza and seriously wounding thousands more? Surely there was enough blood and gore there to hold everyone's interest. It's not as though there weren't enough videos getting out of the place because there were plenty. They just weren't shown in the "accepted" media.

The Israelis even made it easier for those who had a hard time getting pictures by making it almost impossible for a lot of the wounded to be helped. With all of those suffering people laying around the media could have had a field day but they busied themselves elsewhere.

That story just didn't fit the agenda.

Israel has a track record of stealing land that is not theirs and there's no justification for it. Why not call them what they are--burtal thieves?

Where were they when Israeli troops rolled into Lebanon in tanks with heavy artillery and totally destroyed the infrastructure?

I'll never forget the image of a father holind his small son and cowering in a doorway. Israeli troops murdered both of them.

Boltlady, tell us how many rockets Hamas fired into Israel territory and communities over the 12 months prior to Israel retaliating, if you can... but we know that doesn’t matter to you if they are only killing Jews.

Squirrelly, Israel took that land in 1967 war with all the Arab nations and mainly used it as a buffer zone to keep hostile enemies at a distance. That is not stealing land.

Who's defending, who's attacking and why do some always give Israel "victim" status?

Muslim nations can produce those resolutions (and do) on a daily basis, but that doesn´t really lend them any credence.

Where is the indignation of the UN (that joke of a world body) over the attacks on Israel from Lebanon and by Hamas from the West Bank? Why are they not condemning them... why isn´t Jimmy Carter condemning them instead of trying to get them de-classified as terrorists?

Israel retaliates, and in almost no cases are they the first aggressor, they are always the winner, and that’s what bothers the Jew haters.

Of course there is a lot more to this than meets the eye, if you just look.

When the lady was killed a article I read stated she was blocks away and was not involved in the protest, Ah huh?

Then I read a more recent article which quoted her boy friend as stating that she was actively engaged in the protests, and was at the forefront of the protest movement.

If anyone believes the U.S. hasn't been stirring up the pot on Iran?

I honestly believe that Ahmadinejad won the election by a sizeable margin.

Also if anyone cares to remember right after the election there was rioting in the streets and fires were set to cars and buildings destroying private property. These were not demonstrations patterned after MLK of civil disobedience, these were demonstrations meant to destabilize Iran's government and were causing damage to private and government properties.

The protesters were asking that the election be nullified and re-run, which would have been more appropriate Bush vs Gore when there was truly a close election and as everyone knows Gore actually won the popular vote, but person sympathetic to Gore didn't start burning buildings and doing damage, as far as I remember.

But the pro-Israel media and reporters actively are biased against the Iran leadership, even though it has been proven that Ahmadinejad didn't call for the military destruction of Israel. He has never stated he wanted to bomb Israel but hardly a week goes by that someone in our media reports that Israel or the U.S. is contemplating bombing Iran.

Meddle, meddle, meddle that is all we do and then when we find that people are retaliating by using terror methods we never ask ourselves if possibly we was the possible cause.

What goes around comes around?

The Balfour Declaration:

Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917

"Dear Lord Rothschild,"

"I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet."

"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

"I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation."

Yours sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour
