The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!
Omer Goldman, daughter of the former Mossad chief spoke live to True Talk radio from Tel-Aviv. Goldman says that she has been sent to jail twice for refusing to serve in the Israeli military because she thinks Israel commits crimes against humanity in the occupied territories and right now in Gaza. She claims that war on Gaza is political game for the coming election in Israel. It shows that in Israel -which claims to be the most (so-called) democratic country of the Mideast but has made the previous beautiful mideast like a blood bath- a young Omer doesn’t have any other choice except participating in a war that she does not believe in it. Her ‘undesirable’ voice gets suppressed in jail. It’s something that you might not even get in any ‘undemocratic’ country of the world. On the other hand, i found this video of Pro-Israeli rally in NYC (i reccommend it ) on Ardent’s blog, containing interviews done by Max Blumenthal with some people who attended the rally. They call for ‘Wiping Out’ Palestinians.These statements make me think. It raises many questions in my mind. As a Muslim, i’ve been accused of being from terrorism regions with terrorist governments and terrorist presidents one of them threatened that ‘Israel will be wipped out’, something that was a ‘prediction’ actually and not an ‘assault’. I am not going to defend or accuse anyone here since i might disagree with them, but the fact is neither any muslim government nor any country attacked any other nations in the world and have never ‘claimed’ directly to wip out anybody. But they wrote thousands and thousands articles and still spread reports or rumors, accusing muslims i.e Iranians to be anti-semitism, anti-judaism, so and so. While they all know that Iran has the second largest community of jews in the Mideast and Iranian jews -Praise to God- are the most religious jews they've ever seen. Then you see that some Israelis call Israel for ‘wiping out’ the Palestinians. And murdering thousand Palestinians with unknown American weapons is justifed as ‘defense’. It’s allowed to make a blood bath and they’re not allowed to question it, bcs they might face what people like Omer faced. So what’s the difference? Who is the real terrorist when terrorism means using terror to achieve political goals ? Where you draw the line? Max then himself comments on the rally and interviews and questions the ultimate brainwashing of the Israeli community: No one I spoke to could seem to find any circumstance in which they would begin to question Israel’s war. No number of civilian deaths, no displays of extreme suffering — nothing could deter their enthusiasm for attacking one of the most vulnerable populations in the world with the world’s most advanced weaponry. There are no limits, no matter what Israel does, no matter how it does it. The rally made me think of a passage in “The Holocaust Is Over, We Must Rise From Its Ashes,” a powerful new book by former Israeli Knesset speaker and Jewish National Fund chairman Avraham Burg: “If you are a bad person, a whining enemy or a strong-arm occupier, you are not my brother, even if you are circumcised, observe the Sabbath, and do mitzvahs. If your scarf covers every hair on your head for modest, you give alms and do charity, but what is under your scarf is dedicated to the sanctity of Jewish land, taking precedence over the sanctity of human life, whosever life that is, then your are not my sister. You might be my enemy. A good Arab or a righteous gentile will be a brother or sister to me. A wicked man, even of Jewish descent, is my adversary, and I would stand on the other side of the barricade and fight him to the end.” source
