"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."
— Sermon on the Mount


"Israel's actions within its right to self defense have long exceeded any rational limit. [They are] sacrificing innocent civilians by the hundreds, and creating refugees by the thousands," he added, telling the Israeli authorities, "Do not provoke our consciences. Do not feed the world condemnation against you. It is not in your interest...Fear God's wrath." Greek Orthodox's Archbishop Christodoulos. 27 July 06 >>>

July 30, 2006: Anti Zionist Orthodox Jews protested in Trafalgar Square, London, England against the recent invasion of Lebanon and Gaza. more

>>> "Our emperor says that we are not occupiers, yet we show no inclination to relinquish the country of Iraq to its people. Those who have dared to expose the nakedness of the Administration's policies in Iraq have been subjected to scorn. Those who have noticed the elephant in the room -- that is, the fact that this war was based on falsehoods – have had our patriotism questioned. Those who have spoken aloud the thought shared by hundreds of thousands of military families across this country, that our troops should return quickly and safely from the dangers half a world away, have been accused of cowardice. We have then seen the untruths, the dissembling, the fabrication, the misleading inferences surrounding this rush to war in Iraq wrapped quickly in the flag." Senator Robert Byrd. October 17. The Emperor has no clothes. More...

>>> "Before the war, week after week after week after week, we were told lie after lie after lie after lie. And now, despite the increasingly restless Iraqi population, despite the continuing talk of sabotage, despite the foreign terrorists crossing thousands of miles of border to attack U.S. servicemen and women in Iraq, the Administration still refuses to face the truth or tell the truth. Instead the White House responds by covering up its failures and trying to sell its rosy version of events by repeating it with maximum frequency and volume, and minimum regard for realities on the ground. "

>>> "...at the White House, the subject of terrorism now means the subject of our invasion of Iraq. The President waves the bloody shirt of 9-11 and then subtly shifts the conversation to Iraq. The only problem is that the President's attempts to tie Saddam Hussein to the 9-11 attacks have no basis in fact. By speaking of al Qaeda in one breath, and Iraq in the next, he has devised a construct for confusing the American people about the real threat to our country. And his strategy has worked: according to a recent Washington Post poll, seven in ten Americans believe that Saddam Hussein is behind the September 11 attacks." Senator Robert Byrd. September 10th. More...

>>> "We are told and have been on a daily basis since September 11 that the peoples of the Middle East are our enemies, that they are terrorists with no regard for human life, and that they hate us for our freedom and for our Christian values. The fact that this fiction has gained such wide acceptance by the American public is puzzling, given the that in recent years a good portion of the population had developed a healthy sense of skepticism with regards to a government and media which they knew couldn’t be trusted. Adding to this puzzling situation is the fact that these same skeptics came to understand with equal clarity that the real threat posed to America came not from without, but rather from within." Our Enemies: They are not by Mark Glenn. More...

>>> "Does it really come as a surprise to anyone that many of our allies are reluctant to commit their own troops to the aftermath of a pre-emptive war, considering how the Administration tried to bully them during our headlong rush to war against Iraq? While the White House was furiously trying to twist arms in Berlin, Paris, Ankara, and Moscow to gain acquiescence to a war in Iraq, millions took to the streets to protest the President's policy toward Iraq." Senator Robert Byrd, September 2, 03. More...

>>> There are many sources for news and views about what's going on in the Middle East and what's ahead. Some followers of Pat Robertson's 700 Club are looking at weather patterns. The Christian Broadcasting Network reported that May's damaging tornados were a repercussion of U.S. pressure on Israel that put the "covenant lands of Israel at risk." According to CBN, a researcher has proven that "when Israeli settlements are touched, there are also occurrences of hurricanes, tornados, and major problems in the American economy." CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT TO PEACEMAKING IS DISTORTED BY CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS by Corinne Whitlatch, Executive Director of Churches for Middle East Peace. More...

>>> "Bush and Sharon know perfectly well what awaits them by letting go of the wolf's ears. They realize that despite whatever promises are made by their victims to "forgive and forget" that nevertheless memories of people being killed by occupying armies (whether in Iraq or in Palestine) will override any sense of amnesia which their oppressors hoped their victims would develop." Grabbing the world by the ears - Mark Glenn. More..

>>> " We can imagine that it in the end it may look something like this: They stood before him on Judgment Day, expecting a "king's reward" in Heaven. They had spent their lives professing his name, driving out demons and performing many miracles, and therefore, should, in their estimation, be first in line for their heavenly inheritance. We can only imagine their surprise when they heard the following". The Mark of the Beast, Mark Glenn. More...

>>> "The fundamental question that is nagging at many is this: How reliable were the claims of this President and key members of his Administration that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction posed a clear and imminent threat to the United States, such a grave threat that immediate war was the only recourse?"

Rafah:

"... it's not just what they're doing to us that's similar, it's what they're doing to others: occupying a foreign land and oppressing another people in the name of preventing terror. People like you and me know that's just an excuse for furthering economic and political interests of the ruling elite. But it's not the elite that pays the price." A letter from refuser Matan Kaminer, on trial - Israeli military court, to Stephen Funk US Marines.

Pictures Talk - but do we? Why is this picture of Art Gish, an American from Ohio, or the picture of a Palestinian child standing in front of an Israeli tank, any less powerful than the image of the Chinese lone student standing in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square? Read Comparing Apples to apples...

...and another and another: two more young internationals shot in the face with deliberate hatred. And 20 Palestinian children - 20 MORE children - die at the hands of settlers. Read More..

One more death...
