From New York USA : Israel's "Final Solution" to "The Palestiniam Problem"



It may well be that even after seeing this you still can't believe it.

Huge hat-tip to a good American friend, Doug Watt.

Doug also gave us this.

The UpTake
is opening up a call for Opinion/Editorial videos. To kick this off, we bring you all the first video by Dennis Trainor, who will be providing a regular voice to our media palette. We do not have a name for the show yet, and look forward to hearing ideas for the show's name from our audience. We also hope that more people feel inspired to send us "video op/eds" and will be providing guidance in the near future on how to submit your own opinions to our site.




For more about Dennis, here is what Steve Grove, the head of news and politics at YouTube had to say about him:


"I first met Dennis when he started his channel on YouTube under the moniker "Davis Fleetwood". Playing the role of an angry hermit in the basement of his home, Dennis' character was a unique bird to the Internet community - combining the satire of a Lenny Bruce with the performance style of an Andy Kaufman, all the while offering an acerbic social commentary that resonated with a large audience on the site. "Davis Fleetwood" soon became one of the most prominent voices in YouTube politics, posting daily videos that were thoughtful, provocative, and darkly humorous.

When YouTube teamed up with CNN to host a part of presidential debates, we tapped "Davis" to come to the debate and produce commentary from the scene on YouTube's behalf - and a question he'd submitted online was posed to Dennis Kucinich in the live televised debate. It must have been a sign - within weeks, Dennis had been hired by the Kucinich campaign to do reporting and commentary for the campaign. To my knowledge this was the first time a video blogger had been plucked from YouTube and hired by a presidential campaign. Demonstrating he could shift from theatre to politics, Dennis produced some great online and on-air video content for the Kucinich campaign, breathing a fresh perspective into the campaign.

In the new an undefined field of online video, Dennis has proven he knows both how to create compelling work, and how to distribute and promote it.

As Israel announces it's intended increase in it's inhumanity to man, massive street riots in London ensue



Just when we think things can't get any worse, we get all this. ...







The Guardian is as good as it gets, truthful mainstream media-wise, since they've never needed to be beholden to nor dictated to by, any bloody billionaire owner. But we believe that even their quoted figures for the London riots today are far too conservative an estimate.

TENS OF THOUSANDS JOIN LONDON GAZA PROTEST

Israel's ongoing Gaza onslaught : Special Pictorial 'Shock & Awe' Supplement



The Facts - Not The Fiction."
Our/your silence signifies our/your shame. For certain.

Demand today that our/your politicians act now ~ not just "meet & discuss" while this slaughter continues. And start with the local ones. Remind them that they're our/you official paid representative and that their comfortable, cushy overpaid jobs depend 'entirely' upon our/your votes.

Also, please help us to get the truth out, since it's only the truth that can ever set any of us free. Including the freedom of you and your own loved ones.

Remember this: the Iraqis, Lebanese, Palastinians, Gazans, et al, are ALL human beings. Just like we are, and you are, and your loved ones are.

UPDATE: As fast as I can repair the main link here, thanks to blogger, it is altered and "killed". I'll try the again here, but in a different form:

If this still fails then go straight across to Gordo's "appletree" where I've cross posted, and so far his different blog platform seems to be 'holding up'.

Israel's Sickening Strike on Gaza School




Israeli Strike On Gaza School 'kills 30'"
So what's new?

As one of the many Israebushamerican war criminals, Donald Rumsfeld not too long ago explained to us all - as the stinking, shitty slimeball simply shrugged his shoulders ... "stuff happens."

The sooner some sodding, humongously, horrifically, serious "stuff happens" to him and his cohorts and all their ilk, particularly those responsible for this sort of "stuff" - the better place this world will be.

So, what's left to say? Except, maybe, that their "chosen" mates in the "promised" land are killing these innocent infants "over there" so they don't have to kill them "over here".

For Christ's sake, even the stones must be crying out.
