During today's 'suspension of airstrikes,' by Israel in Lebanon, a convoy of Lebanonese army troops was attacked, killing seven.
Approx. 450 Lebanonese civilians killed so far, Most Woman & Children, as part of Israel's policy of 'Collective Punishment.' As significant, almost 1,000,000 (one million) made homeless. This stastiic doesn't often get mentioned but it means lives are destroyed, jobs are lost, homes are gone forever.
In Lebanon, due to Israel attacks of collective punishment, there is: No Petrol/gas to get away; no roads to travel on, no borders to cross to escape, no food to eat, little remaining electric or water works.
At places like IsraelForum.com (click title above to go there) these policies are not only defended but even gloated over.
It sucks. Our USA policies also suck. They are also a world-wide threated to greater war, perhaps nuclear war which may start to bring some of this pain and damage we are doing home. We are making worldwide enemies for life.
What for? Oil & Israel. Not 'Freedom & Democracy,' which President Bushshit said on TV today, has been saying for the past year, and will probably be saying tomorrow.
The alternative? Energy independence. Develop alternative energy sources. Develop some renewable energy sources. Put our billions and billions of dollars (actually now estimated to be Half-a-Trillion dollars spent - thus far - on this shit); so instead we should be putting our money into making jobs, improving our own infrastructure, providing education and opportunity for people. And telling red-neck mother*uckers to go to hell.
