			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="justify">Dear All,</p>
<p>Yesterday I posted an Action Alert in my blog titled <a href="http://akramawad.blogspot.com/2006/08/actionalert-nicole-kidman-shame-on-you.html"><strong>&#8220;Action Alert - Nicole Kidman shame on you!&#8221; </strong></a>. I criticised the <a href="http://static.flickr.com/87/218726789_e73f533430_o.jpg">84-celebrity statement</a> published in Los Angeles Times blaming Hamas and Hezbollah for the civilian casualties in &#8220;Israel&#8221; and Lebanon.</p>
<p>I asked people to take action by boycotting the celebrities, and by writing to them denouncing their false statement and educating them about the true situation and history of the Middle East conflict.</p>
<p>Since then, two Zionist Journalists, <a href="http://timblair.net/"><em><strong>Tim Blair</strong></em></a> (The assistant editor of the <em>Bulletin</em> weekly magazine and the x senior editor of the <em>Time</em> magazine and <em>Fox News</em> ) and <a href="http://news.bostonherald.com/editorial/view.bg?articleid=153289"><strong><em>Jules Crittenden</em></strong></a> (The reporter, columnist and City Editor of the <em>Boston Herald</em>) started an extensive effort to get as many pro-Israelis as they can to enter my blog, copy the celebrities contact list and use it to thank the celebrities for their full-of-lies statement.</div>
<div align="justify">Now it&#8217;s <strong>YOUR</strong> time to work. <strong>If it is a matter of number let&#8217;s show them who wins the battle. Let&#8217;s show them what real dedication means.</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll post the signatories mailing list here again. <strong><u>Write a short, clear and straightforward letter</u></strong> and send it to one or some of the signing celebrities. Tell them they were wrong and tell them <strong>why</strong>.</div>
<div align="justify"></div>
<div align="center"><strong>Please give it few minutes of your time and few pennies from your pocket.</strong></div>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center"><strong>Together we can make the difference</strong></div>
<div align="center"><strong></strong><br />
(Hold on! Before you take action <strong><u>forward</u></strong> this to your mailing list)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York - The US government was closely involved in the planning of Israel&#8217;s military operations against Islamic militant group Hezbollah even before the July 12 kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers, The New Yorker magazine reported in its latest issue.<br />
The kidnapping triggered a month-long Israeli operation in South Lebanon that is expected to come to an end on Monday.<br />
But Pulitzer Prize-winning US journalist Seymour Hersh writes that President George W Bush and vice president Dick Cheney were convinced that a successful Israeli bombing campaign against Hezbollah could ease Israel&#8217;s security concerns and also serve as a prelude to a potential US pre-emptive attack to destroy Iran&#8217;s nuclear installations.<br />
Citing an unnamed Middle East expert with knowledge of the current thinking of the Israeli and US governments, Israel had devised a plan for attacking Hezbollah - and shared it with Bush administration officials - well before the July 12 kidnappings.<br />
The expert added that the White House had several reasons for supporting a bombing campaign, the report said.<br />
If there was to be a military option against Iran, it had to get rid of the weapons Hezbollah could use in a potential retaliation against Israel, Hersh writes.<br />
Citing a US government consultant with close ties to Israel, Hersh also reports that earlier this summer, before the Hezbollah kidnappings, several Israeli officials visited Washington &#8220;to get a green light&#8221; for a bombing operation following a Hezbollah provocation, and &#8220;to find out how much the United States would bear&#8221;.<br />
&#8220;The Israelis told us it would be a cheap war with many benefits,&#8221; the magazine quotes the consultant as saying. &#8220;Why oppose it? We&#8217;ll be able to hunt down and bomb missiles, tunnels, and bunkers from the air. It would be a demo for Iran.&#8221;<br />
US government officials have denied the charges.<br />
Nonetheless, Hersh writes, a former senior intelligence official says some officers serving with the Joint Chiefs of Staff remain deeply concerned that the administration will have a far more positive assessment of the air campaign than they should.<br />
&#8220;There is no way that (defence secretary Donald) Rumsfeld and Cheney will draw the right conclusion about this,&#8221; the report quotes the former official as saying. &#8220;When the smoke clears, they&#8217;ll say it was a success, and they&#8217;ll draw reinforcement for their plan to attack Iran.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img height="500" alt="This is the UN" src="http://www.syria-news.com/pic/cartoons/main.jpg" width="332" align="left" />After month of the Israeli Aggressive Attacks and Massacres in Lebanon, after a thousand of killed civilians, what was the UN resolution??</p>
<p>1. Calls for a full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hezbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations.</p>
<p>So … Hezbollah attacked Israel, killed thousands of civilians.<br />
Hezbollah didn’t capture two Israeli soldiers to make negotiations about them, instead started attacks on Israel and - in turn – Israel defended itself by killing a thousand Lebanese, by destroying the infrastructure in Lebanon.</p>
<p>No one can believe that an organization like the UN can&#8217;t -at least – condemn Israel for killing its soldiers or –at least – for such MASSACRES in Lebanon!!</p>
<p>Instead the UN resolution was to condemn – in a covered way – Hezbollah for what it called &#8220;of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hezbollah of all attacks&#8221;</p>
<p>The UN resolution supported everything Israel wants!! From the first paragraph of the resolution we can easily find:</p>
<p>1- The resolution hinted –in a hidden way – that Hezbollah is the cause of the human crisis in Israel NOT Israel.<br />
2- Supporting the Idea of considering Hezbollah as a Terrorist Party, not a Legal Resistance!!</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t understand how the UN and USA are demanding to apply resolution 1559, while not asking, or even giving a hint about resolution 425!!</p>
<p>Israel is the Only Country that does not take care of the UN resolutions, and chooses only what it likes from them.</p>
<p>Anyway that proves the Idea that there is no UN, there is only – and only – one dominating power in this world, witch does not respect any law, any human rights … It is the USA!!</p>
<p>The New UN (American and French) resolution supported everything Israel did, and considered Massacres as a legal self defense while considering what Hezbollah is doing is terror and illegal attack on Israel!!</p>
<p>Its time to understand why USA and Europe is supporting Israel… They hate them…. And they sent them to our country&#8230; To our land</p>
<p>Is it a farce? Is it a tragedy? I don’t care&#8230;</p>
<p>The Time of resistance had come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past month, Israel has suffered an embarrassing military and diplomatic defeat in its war against Lebanon and Hezbollah. For the first time in decades, an Arab and Muslim force has been able to stand up to one of the strongest militaries in the world. There <em>will </em>be a new Middle East, but not the one Condolezza Rice had in mind a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>The changes made to the American-French resolution that was <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060812/ap_on_re_mi_ea/un_mideast_fighting;_ylt=Ajvg55VeS.I3a09ecT0kDzCs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--">passed </a>today were a result of the diplomatic pressure by the Arab delegation that was sent to the Council last week. The compromises made also came as Israel and the US realized that this war cannot be won by Israel without causing serious risks of severe instability in various autocratic countries in the region.</p>
<p>A brief look at <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4785963.stm">UNSC resolution 1701 </a>shows the significant changes and additions that were made to put an end to Israel’s aggression against Lebanon. The new resolution includes a call on Israel to withdraw completely from Southern Lebanon as well as from the occupied Sheba’a Farms. A prisoner exchange between Lebanon and Israel is also to be arranged according to the resolution.</p>
<p>Israel has suffered huge losses on the military front, losses it hasn’t suffered for decades. The IOF was forced to call in more than 30,000 reservists to help with the war on Lebanon and maintain the occupation of Palestinian territories. More than 1.5 million Israelis are hunkered down in shelters while thousands of others have already decided to pack up and leave the country. New <a href="http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&amp;item_no=102104&amp;version=1&amp;template_id=37&amp;parent_id=17">opinion polls </a>show that only 20% of the Israeli public believes that their military will win the war. Public support for Prime Minister Olmert and War minister Peretz has declined dramatically over the course of the war. This has resulted in Olmert accepting resolution 1701 and asking his government to do the same. The Israeli government and military want to put an end to a war they cannot win except by cowardly dropping US-made smart bombs on shelters full of civilians. When it comes to on the ground battles against Hezbollah fighters, the weakness of the IOF is obvious. In the international arena, Israel is clearly alone, except for its partners in the US. Even in the States, many have begun to question their governments unrelenting support to a government bent on destroying Lebanon and any other Arab country it can put its hands on.</p>
<p>The unanimous agreement on resolution 1701 proves that Arab countries <em>do</em> have some leverage with the US and in the UN. One wonders, however, if the same power will be used to end the suffering of the Palestinian people. This war will definitely have an impact on the course of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, although one has to remember that many Arab countries as well as Europe and the US have interests in Lebanon that are not existent in the Occupied Palestinian territories.</p>
<p>The dramatic shift between power among Arab countries was also highlighted during the diplomatic efforts that were taken to end this war. While Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan began with a condemnation of Hezbollah and its “uncalculated adventures”, resolution 1701 passed with the help of the Emarati and Qatari officials who went to the UN to ask the US and France to place more pressure on Israel to end its aggression and withdraw its troops. While the former three Arab countries appear to have more weight and power in the region, the opinions of the leaders which were in clear opposition with that of their constituents have questioned their ability to remain among the movers and shakers in the region. The strong reaction of the Arab street to the Israeli aggression as well as their to their leaders’ condemnation of the resistance was a wake up call for Arab autocrats who began to restate their opinions and review their political strategies fearing an even stronger reaction that could result in destabilizing their positions of power domestically and regionally.</p>
<p>The war has also proven that Israel should not be dealt with diplomatically. Israel is a country founded on war and established by military occupation. It does not understand the language of diplomacy; rather, it only understands the language of Katyusha rockets and military body bags. When Israel suffers a military defeat, it is then forced to accept political concessions. This is exactly why countless attempts to forge peace treaties and accords with the Palestinians have ultimately failed as Israel continued its aggression and occupation against a weakened population despite international condemnation. It is also why Israel continually disregards international law and dozens of Security Council resolutions mostly regarding the Occupied Palestinian Territories. As long as it is not losing its young military men and its Merkavas, Israel will continue to disregard any calls from the international community to stop its state sponsored terror machine.</p>
<p>While most of the world has seen and understood what Israel is doing to millions of innocent people, the question remains if and when the United States will realize that its blind support to Israel is only causing more instability in the region and danger to its own people and its position as the superpower of the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wrong question.</p>
<p>See this: <a href="http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/08/08/the-new-nazis-of-israel-and-usa/">The new Nazis of Israel and USA</a>  by Haitham Sabbah.</p>
<p>Haitham is a good guy with good intentions.</p>
<p>His problem in using the Nazi analogy is that he forgot about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law">Godwin&#8217;s Law</a> (also Godwin&#8217;s Rule of Nazi Analogies) which says &#8220;As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.&#8221;</p>
<p>Using the Nazis analogy, the conversation is thrown into other directions like &#8220;can anyone be really compared to the Nazis?&#8221; or other distracting questions.</p>
<p>If one wants to continue the conversations, like I know Haitham wants, using the Nazis analogy is a bad thing to do.</p>
<p>I understand Haitham&#8217;s anger when he saw those pictures, so I forgive him.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s forgive each other and continue the conversation.</p>
<p>This is our only hope for <a href="http://info.org.il/peaceblog/">peace</a>.
