The pictures last week of a father grieving over his dead infant were of a reporter. This past week-end, two more of the civilian deaths in Gaza were of journalists. The Likud targets those reporting genocide just as surely as they do their own soldiers who refuse to shoot their neighbors’ children. Being the victims of genocide does not give a people the right to commit it on others. Stop taking orders from Bebe.
Lonecat is right. And the cartoon is painful to look at. Sadly, it is also fairly accurate. Nothing brings more attention to a tragedy than salacious details. One of the reasons I believe in life after death is a hope on my part that those who have done evil in the name of God will face a severe reality check. Though, if there is an afterlife and I am wrong about the nature of God, I may be in “a hell of a lot of trouble.” We’ll see. If I get there first, I’ll try to send back a post for you guys. ;) Sadly But Respectfully, C.

I would be of the opinion that we need to stop “hoping” and “praying” for something else to solve our problems, and get to work on creating social justice ourselves. It will never be attained unless we create it.
In a tiny little prison camp called “Gaza”, or even “West Bank”, as with the Cherokee of the Carolinas and Georgia, Netanyahu and Likud is the modern day “Andrew Jackson and Congress” of rabble taking the land of those who’ve possessed it for millennia, and claiming “self defense” and “manifest destiny”.
To cry out against the ongoing assaults and oppression of a people isn’t “anti-Semetic”, it’s recognizing the history of radicals with the bigger guns, and better press agents, being “the good guys”.
Dead children in Afghanistan and Iraq were also the victims of the same “big guns and we own the press” “resolve”.
So what’s the real story behind this? Who’s toes did he step on for this to go out in the public? If we want to hear about adultery stories we’ll get it from people who look more like Kim Kardashian than this guy. No one sane actually cares. I’m assuming he’s being politically manipulated for something.
I do find it interesting that Senator John McCain, a Republican, says that we need to send a “well respected, top level Diplomat” to try to resolve this crisis, and he suggested Bill Clinton, a Democrat, and NOT George W. Bush! Hummm…
When there’s no solution by peaceful means, and no potential for talking to the Israeli government, what do they have left to break a blockade? I’m no fan of violence, and I think the region has no greater enemy than radical Islam, but what sent the US into revolution against Britain was little jokes compared to what the Palestinians have been putting up with. With no voice in their occupiers’ government, how can you complain about confiscation of the best lands, destruction of towns and farms, killing of citizens, and taking of water?
I like the guy in the white teeshirt holding his arm and whistling like “Who ME? Had sex with David Petraeus? Ridiculous,,, what have you heard? Lies! it’s all lies I tell you.”
Hey, folks, the press always makes Israel look like the bad guy. Who always starts the shooting? Who sent suicide bombers into restaurants and onto buses to blow up Israelis and Americans? Betcha if the militant Arabists didn’t start it, Israel would not be so ready to finish it. And who condemned the displaced Arabs to those horribly squalid camps? Could it have been the Jordanians and Saudis who refused them humanitarian help and a place to call home. Good old Ishmael never got over his snit with Isaac (or was it Hagar and her snit with Sarah? Sure the Israelis are not perfect, just human. They just want to be left alone in their pinhead sized country without all their neighbors trying to wipe them out.
Just one quick question…why does Israel have “Freedom Fighters”, while everyone else has “Terrorists”? Kind of like the difference between “Intelligence Operatives”, and “Spies”! Semantics…or more??
From recession woes to social networking, Matt Bors’ cartoons dissect and satirize the ways of the world to make readers think and laugh about the real issues affecting them.

They don’t need media, they need mediation.

The people of Gaza need to police themselves…. otherwise, others will do so.
