Recently I have watched a few videos of some of the atrocities, and they angered me, I felt helpless, I still do really, I wanted to write some scathing remarks about Israel and whats going on there, but it doesn’t really help. I wrote back to my friend, some words about how I feel, after reading the words back I decided I will share them with the world for all that care to read. First though, here is the video that provoked them. (after the click)


“You know, i did watch these videos, and many many others, the first time i watched one was in Israel when i was living my my girlfriend of the time, she told me to turn them off and that she didnt want to see them, this is the common reaction from the Israelis with a heart, they simply do not want to see or know what is happening. I just watched a video now of a female Israeli soldier slapping some kids, then a group of israeli soldiers beating a guy, it upsets me and angers me, makes me want to react out, maybe post some videos on my site with some harsh words, but that in a way is revenge, it just wouldn’t help, nothing will help all the anger that’s built up in that area, certainly not more anger. If the situation truly isn’t getting any better then the violent acts will continue to rise, and eventually they will all kill themselves over their own fantasy stories of magical beings in the sky, to me its evolution in action, natural selection, they are stupid enough to fight for their beliefs then they will be stupid enough to die for them, eventually taking their beliefs to the grave with them, natural selection, im talking about both sides here really, since im sure that there are Palestinians who are acting in a way that does their people no good. You would never see an atheist acting in this way. The one upsetting factor in this is the innocent people who cannot escape the hell that they live in, and these people im sure are mainly Palestinians, since they cannot leave the place they live, all the Israelis can move freely around many countries in the world, only their belief that their particular magical being in the sky gave them that land keeps them there.

I recently met an Australian who spent a lot of time in the area helping the people of Palestine all he could, taking part in blockades, blocking Israeli bulldozers that are destroying Palestinians homes, in the end however his positive actions were put to an end as he is no longer allowed to go into Israel, and therefore no longer allowed into Gaza or West Bank, what hope do the people there have, none really, only the hope in the rest of the world coming to their aid eventually, just like all the prisoners of the Nazi’s in world war 2, the only hope they had was that the rest of the world would come to their rescue, which they eventually did, this time though its taking a little bit longer, i’d say we are 60 years late.”

On you tube there are many more video’s one posted by both sides, both sides claim they are innocent and are just doing what they have to, yet still there is war and death there, so someone, if not both sides are lying.

A short movie after the link


Reminds you of them videos of all the prisoners in striped clothes being marched to the Nazi death camps doesn’t it.
