Warning: Images in this video are graphic and can be disturbing. But we have to face up to this reality.

Lest we forget.

CODEPINK Women's organization for Peace

One of my readers brought this blog to my attention. Codepink women's organization is doing an extraordinary job for peace. They are opposed to the brutal war in Iraq and opposed to Israel's brutal actions in Gaza against Palestinians and Arabs. The organization took the trouble to deliver a peace letter from Hamas to Obama in Cairo.

Hamas was duly elected and if it would have been recognized then a lot of trouble and violence could have been avoided.

Quite frankly, the more I read about the Israel/Arab conflict the more I am convinced that Israel has been behaving like a deadly big bully in the region thanks to US help. It has too often carried out brutal slaughter of its neighbours. Gaza is a concentration camp and many have said so. It is encouraging to know that Obama has some prominent Jewish people in his close circle, including his chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel, who recognize the need for peace and are very much party to Obama's speech in Egypt where he expressed his displeasure at illegal settlements in the West Bank and expansion of settlements.

I should add that Obama's speech has finally put some water on the burning fire of anger against the US in the Arab world and the Muslim World in general. Bush and Cheney provided all kinds of fuel to such a fire. I believe that if previous administrations had the foresight of Obama there would have not been a 9/11 and there would not have been other acts of violence against the US. Obama must follow his words with actions now and I believe the US will be much more safe and so will Canada as well. History tells us time and again that you cannot bully people or nations forever. Israel has been on a wrong path for far too long.

Other nations and people must learn from it. Atrocities against the weak and the vulnerable have never paid off in the long run.

Yusuf Islam’s (Cat Stevens) new song on Gaza

Is this the slaughter of women and children that Harper and Iggy support? The injustices continue. Palestinians in Gaza have been compared to a concentration camp, including by Dr. Falk of the U.S. The UN is doing investigations into war crimes by Israel.

The recent fiasco of banning George Galloway, a British MP, has not helped the matter. It has raised more awareness about Israeli atrocities in Gaza. He spoke extensively via video to the Canadian audience.

Gaza: An Appeal by George Galloway to Help

George Galloway is an impressive man. You can click here to read his bio which I wrote up and posted earlier. Now, he is appealing for aid and help to victims in Gaza. Please click here to read and see if you can help in any way.

The more one reads about Gaza, the more dreadful facts one finds out. It is not easy to watch these videos. Here is one from series of videos posted on the Youtube.

This is the brutality that Iggy and Harper support.

Sarah Teather, another UK MP against the Massacre in Gaza

Many UK MPs spoke out against the slaughter in Gaza, George Galloway, Sir Gerald Kaufman (who is Jewish), Sarah Teather ,and many others. Why are our MPs muzzled? The slaughter in Gaza is unacceptable by any standard. No civilized society or people can condone such butchery. The Israeli government cannot be considered civilized. It is barbarian. And I will include Harper, Iggy and Bush in that pack for being enablers. The sooner the world realizes the plight of Gaza and the atrocities of Israeli authorities, the better it will be for World peace.

There are many videos on the plight of Gaza. This one below, entitled Cry for Gaza, is quite moving.
