The battle lines are drawn

The hilltops of Hebron knew
Qasim Al-Ja’bari very well.
"It was the picture of a Palestinian hero, when heroism was real, and when heroes did what they did for one reason only, and for that reason only; to liberate Palestine. They didn’t do what they did so they can be mentioned in the news, in petitions, or in blog posts. They didn’t rush home to send newsletters saying:

“I got detained, I got questioned, I am free, thanks for the millions who asked about me… asked about ME”, while hundreds around them were beaten and kidnapped unnoticed. No, that picture reminded me of a time when Palestinian heroes did what they did out of conviction, and for Palestine; people to whom the cause was the most important thing, and not the “I” but the “WE”". The Eagle of Palestine By:reham alhelsi 

I guess Reham Alhelsi is taking about nowadays Palestinians the, "I" "Heroes" who sold 78% of Palestinian land and others who would share the Land of Canaan.

Here is an "I Hero" hailing "The brave pioneers of the world-wide people movement/Intifada", but ignoring, that it is the the BLOOD of our Martyrs who pulled the triger and mobilized the peoples movement INTIFADAH. "They (The brave pioneers of the world) celebrate and consolidate success in Tunisia and Egypt'. He failed to mention whose success?

For our"I" "Hero" Fateh who sold 78% of Palestine, is like  Hamas who liberated Gaza without condition and made Palestine  the focal of world events, and made history in Making a Focal Point in Gaza and fighting the Ist Palestinan war since 1948 
"Fatah and Hamas are dragging their feet and have yet to follow on their promises of putting together a unity "authority" (although the term is misleading as there is no authority under occupation "

For our"I" "Hero" Syria, like Bahrain, Yemen and, Morocco is a despotic regime who torture, kill, and imprison its citizens who dare call for democracy.,  Jordan is not.

For our "I" "Hero" Syria is like Israel an occupation force. Both occupied Lebanon, and the Lebanon's people liberated Lebanon from both occupations. Palestinians should learn from Lebanese people, off course from Ceder revolution, who used  according to our hero the "popular resistance." not, resolution 1559, and the assasination of Hariri.

For "I" "Hero" Turkey "bend to US/Israel pressure to
a) stop the Freedom Flotilla II, and
b) drop its demand for an apology and for lifting the siege on Gaza (after the execution of 9 Turkish passengers in International waters last year).
He ignored to mention
c) change the "expired" regime in Syria

The battle lines are drawn, and accoding to nowadays heroes "the friends of the so called anti zionism Jews' "all these political shenanigans can be stopped when enough people say "enough is enough" and demand all these governments comply with International law and human rights."

Yesterday, enough Syrians said "enough is enough" stressing their stand by their President against foreign agendas and sabotage groups.

I wonder if our "I"Hero" is among the so called Disappointed Palestinians from Gaza, West Bank, and the US, disapoined by brave pioneer Cynthia McKinney, Casro, and Chavez for supporting Expired Libyan  regime against Nato and its "humanitarian intervention"


The battle lines are drawn

Israel's UN ambassador met with major American Jewish organizations telling them to work hard to ensure there will not be passage of any votes on Palestine at the UN.

Presidernt Obama met with 80 influential Jewish donors (who each gave $25-35,000 to attend the private dinner with the President) and Obama assured them that the US has iron-clad commitment to Israel. He stated to them that any differences with the current Israeli government are not about goals and strategies but merely minor tactical differences among close friends and allies. Money and weapons will keep flowing and American lives will continue to be threatened and shed for this Zionist cash.

Fatah and Hamas are dragging their feet and have yet to follow on their promises of putting together a unity "authority" (although the term is misleading as there is no authority under occupation) let alone allowing for a constitution of a representative Palestinian National Council (the main demand of the Paestinain people).

Israeli apartheid system continues its ethnic cleansing. Last week dozens of structures for poor bedouins were demolished rendering nearly 100 homeless. The apartheid Knesset is debating new racist laws to punish free speech and any NGOs that do not accept apartheid/refuse to acknowledge the Jewish nature of the state. The apartheid regime continues to hold thousands of Palestinian political prisoners and continues to deny basic human rights (like the right to return to one's home and land or the right to travel free in one's country).

Further, the despotic regimes in Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Morocco and elsewhere continue to torture, kill, and imprison their citizens who dare call for democracy. Greece is being threatened about its loans unless it joins the US/Israel to stop the freedom flotilla. Turkey's elections consolidated power in the ruling party which now felt a bit freer (or so we are told) to bend to US/Israel pressure to
a) stop the Freedom Flotilla II, and
b) drop its demand for an apology and for lifting the siege on Gaza (after the execution of 9 Turkish passengers in International waters last year).

But all these political shenanigans can be stopped when enough people say "enough is enough" and demand all these governments comply with International law and human rights. The brave pioneers of the world-wide people movement/Intifada who have worked for years urge you to join them.
They celebrate and consolidate success in Tunisia and Egypt.

I send example regularly of people power and today I send you a few more links. Action is the best antidote to despair. Silence is complicity.

"From July 8-16, I will join hundreds of internationals for a week of solidarity actions in coordination with 15 Palestinian civil resistance organizations in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem…"
