I have not read this whole post, I got disgusted when I got inot hte
first paragraph or two. I have one question about that too in regards
to the following quote:

"Interesting
that Sheryl Crowe, despite her wacky suggestions-is dead on in promoting
biofuels. If we did not need to import oil we could tell the middle east
to beat it "


WHEN AR EPEOPLE GOING TO TAKE THEIR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND AND START
EDUCATING THEMSELVES? THIS WAR IS NOT ABOUT OIL OR ANY OTHER BYPRODUCT
OF THE MIDDLEEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Come on people, grow up please.

"HEY LULU I THINK THAT MAYBE YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT IT BEING JUST A KID,
PLAYIN' HERE. LIKE ALL THE OTHERS, HE OR SHE NEEDS TO GO PLAY SOMEWHERE
ELSE LIKE THE INTERSTATE AND MAYBE GET HIT BY A BIG TRUCK THAT IS
AMERICA'S LIFELINE AND THEN WE CAN SEND HIM OR HER BACK TO RUSSIA OR
IRAQ OR WHEREVER THEY CAME FROM. WE NEED TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY IN PEACE
AND NOT HAVING THESE PUNKS RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US. SO LET'S ALL JUST
IGNORE SHADOWEAGLE AND CARRY ON WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING HERE. LET'S ALL
LIVE IN PEACE. LIKE I SAID IN MY LAST POST --- JUST BOMB THE CRAP OUT OF
THEM AND CALL IT GOOD. NAYPALM WOULD DO THE TRICK. 300 OR SO OF THEM
BOMBS SHOULD WIPE OUT ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO HIDE IN THE CAVES LIKE
BINLADEN. IT WOULD JUST SEND THE FLAMES INTO THEM AND BURN EVERYTHING IN
SIGHT. COULD BE ANOTHER HIROSHIMA OR NAGASAKI WITHOUT THE FEAR OF THE
FALL OUT."

While the world has been busy with the specter of a major war in the
Middle East, the American public has been getting very little news
coverage about the Palestinians and the continuation of the oppressive
Israeli measures. As the world comes closer to the war on Iraq which now
appears imminent, many of us are more concerned not only about the major
loss in civilian lives in Iraq but also about the potential tragedy that
is expected to unfold in the West Bank and Gaza.



Credible analysis about the true motives behind the war and the real
objectives of the Bush Administration has confirmed that Israel has a
vested interest in the looming war on Iraq and that Israel is expected
to reap major gains from the war. In his article "The US Gameplan for
Iraq" former CIA political analyst for 29 years, Bill Christison, gave a
complete analysis of the apparent and hidden objectives from the almost
certain war on Iraq. He classified and analyzed all the reasons being
discussed by the media and the public, and explained that the true
reasons were the oil and the present administration's desire for world
domination, including domination of the Middle East by Israel, the US
surrogate power.



One of the obvious reasons that has not been mentioned by most analysts,
however, is the diversion from (or cover up for) what Israel is doing in
the West Bank and Gaza, and from what it plans to do. In an article
titled "As the world focuses on Iraq, the bodies pile up in Gaza" (the
Independent, February 23, 2003) reporter Justin Huggler asks pointedly
from Gaza "Is the Israeli military taking advantage of a time when the
world is not paying attention to what is going on here, when media
coverage is focusing on Iraq, to step up its campaign in the occupied
territories?" The answer is obviously 'yes' and Huggler explains that
the restraints imposed on Israeli repression against the Palestinians
have in the past come from world public opinion only. That public
opinion is now busy elsewhere.



A more important reason for concern is what Israel might be planning for
the Palestinian residents of the West Bank and Gaza. Academic observers
and analysts of the question on Palestine, both in Israel and in the
United States, have warned about a potential major disaster if Israel
makes good on threats being vocalized by Israeli extremists regarding
further ethnic cleansing; many extremists in the government, and most
settlers, have threatened to expel Palestinians from population centers
in the West Bank and Gaza across international borders into Jordan and
Egypt. These academics and observers have warned that as the world gets
more pre-occupied with the war on Iraq, the Israeli military will
manufacture excuses to conduct another in a series of ethnic cleansing
steps which started in 1948. In her article titled "Threats of Forced
Mass Expulsion" (Le Monde Diplomatique, February 19, 2003), Amira Hass,
the only Israeli reporter who lives in a West Bank city (Ramallah),
confirms that the idea of "transfer" of Palestinians forcibly or through
enticement is gaining momentum across the political spectrum of Israeli
society. Amira Hass asserts "Some 73% of those who live in the Jewish
settlements, euphemistically known as development towns, believe that
Israel should encourage its Arab population to leave. This rises to 76%
among Jews from the former Soviet Union and to 87% among religious
Jews." In the same article, Amira Hass further confirms that mini
transfers have indeed already started:



The presence of military pacifists in the occupied territories has not
prevented "mini-transfers". Faced with non-stop harassment from their
500 Jewish neighbours and a round-the-clock military curfew designed to
protect settlers, many Palestinians have moved out of the ancient city
of Hebron. In the northern West Bank 180 Palestinian villagers in Yanun
were forced to abandon their homes and relocate after increased
harassment from the neighbouring Jewish settlement of Itamar. Other
expulsions have taken place because of the construction of Israel's
infamous wall. Though such "mini-transfers" have come to the attention
of the Israeli public and resulted in demonstrations, the loss of land
and homes over the past two years has left the Palestinians feeling
dispossessed.



Considering this growing acceptance of the "transfer" idea within
Israeli society, and the fact that the world will soon be even more
pre-occupied with the war on Iraq and the problems that the war will
create, Israel could be expected to uphold its reputation of committing
further atrocities and manufacturing excuses to justify them. It should
be expected that such atrocities will include the "transfer," at least
through increased harassment by the settlers and at most by the Israeli
authorities with the backing of the occupation forces.



President Bush continues with his efforts to try to appease the Arabs
and Moslems by promising democracy for the Iraqis when he "liberates"
Iraq and a state for the Palestinians where Israel must stop building
settlements. Apparently this is the best he can do, to stop Israel from
building settlements. It is unknown how he plans to do that or whether
he plans to ask, or beg, Sharon the "man of peace" to stop, just like he
asked him in April 2002 to withdraw the Israeli forces from the West
Bank "without delay." President Bush is making promises to people who do
not believe or trust him. If he wanted to build some trust with the
Arabs and Moslems, President Bush knows how to regain his credibility;
he would ask Sharon to pull his troops out from the West Bank
immediately and end the Israeli occupation regime.



As the world gets closer by the day to a devastating war on Iraq, the
world community, including President Bush, must be mindful of the
actions of the Israeli settlers and the Israeli military in the West
Bank and Gaza. The world, especially the Middle East, does not need and
can not withstand another human tragedy in the form of a few million
refugees. The Palestinians have been victimized through frequent
transfers and ethnic cleansing since 1948. The world has the
responsibility to insure that Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza
will not suffer the agony of yet another major transfer from their
ancestral homeland.
