A Jew could loath fascism at one level, but identify with its brutality at another. Such splitting is deeply characteristic of what we call human weaknesses. Thus some Jews could develop a national chauvinist reaction to the Holocaust, in which they might be expected to unto others something of that which had been done unto them and their families.
- From "Overcoming Zionism" by Joel Kovel

To Matan Vilnai,

I can't be more disgraced of the human race as I am today after your comments were heard on the beloved Army radio. I can't be more ashamed of the stage that the world is giving you and your fellow Zionists, that day to day swallows bigger pieces of justice, freedom, and the common least denominator of humanities. I can't be more embarrassed of the human inherited culture of inequality, oppression, inferiority, and thirst for blood. Your words have been a disguise and a humiliation to the world, while "the world remains silent".

I wonder if you have consulted any of your neighbors about how horrifying and destructive it is in the "Shoah" you want to bring the Palestinians. Have you asked Aharon Appelfeld if making a new concentration camp like the one he escaped from in Gaza will be any escapable ? Did you ask David Grossman if your plan of resurrecting Nazi practices will bring any peace to the Palestinians he interviewed ? Have you asked - in Arabic please - the stolen land of settlements you live in if she is any thirsty for more blood ? Have you ever thought what it is to lose your wife or any of your kids and nobody cares to mention them or their names or their families or that it was their last walk on the beach ?

I don't understand your words unless they I blend in a historic mixture of Apartheid, racism, and religious Jewish superiority. It has been always shyly mentioned and related to Nazism, but you didn't like this vague and not opinionated stand. You wanted Israel to stand out as the land of Israel does on Arabs land. Your "Shoah" will not be different; will it find its bread and wine from the flesh and blood of Gazans, but their bones will bury you beside the Nazis prophets and their tears will write your name on their Hall of Shame.

Mr. Vilnai.. We are hearing in the news about the waged war against civilians in Gaza. We hear about families being killed, dozens of kids murdered, and more than 30 people were victims of your army's barbarism. You might be implementing your wishes to rage a bigger "Shoah" or "Holocaust" against Gaza, but these wishes will find themselves right beside Yitzhak Rabin's dreams that it would sink into the sea. Gaza was built by the little dreams that grow a country everyday with every sweat dropping from thick brows. Gazans will live on olive oil and zaatar and grow thin skin and big hearts, that will have hopes that outlive your words legacy.

A Palestinian

It's irrelevant for people in Gaza if I condemn their violence or not. It's irrelevant because I am not accepted as a preacher. You can't preach your morality on people living like this: in slums, refugee camps, and surrounded by fences - Azmi Bishara

Mr. Abu El Gheit - Egypt foreign minister - volunteered to preach people in Gaza on their resistance, but never revealed but an ugly face of Egyptian monarchs. Abu El Gheit said that any Palestinian that would "break" Egyptian borders will have his legs "broken". It's been a while since we heared fascists like Yitzhak Rabin ordering the army to "break their bones". So much for the History that teaches fascists to learn from each other..

It would be ridiculous to continue mentioning Abu El Gheit's notes about the Palestinian resistance against Israel and the effect of launching home made projectiles and rockets towards Sdeirot. His retarded comments just reflect the IQ requirement that is needed to be part of the Egyptian regime that is practicing occupation on Egyptian "peasants". It's a rhetoric argument to blame resistance and an occupied nation for their given right to resist. The resistance did not starve people in Gaza, nor did they cut their electricity fuel, not did they embargo themselves, but the occupation did.

The current situation in Gaza is upsetting the Egyptian government because it screams that they are a group of "sell outs". By standing by and enforcing the status quo on Palestinians in Gaza, there is nothing to be understood more than this scandalous stand of the Palestinians suffering. Israel's ambassador in Egypt was talking about building a wall along the boarders between Gaza and Egypt to continue their from-the-Nazis-to-the-Zionists wall building traditions.

Of course, normal Egyptians stood from day one to support Palestinians and their cause. Abu Trika - the Egyptian famous soccer player - made his stand, and the rest of people in Egypt, clear and received the most dignifying yellow card in field. Here is the video..

When screams for help weren't heard, begging for the human sense in everyone in the world didn't reach out, lighting a million and 300 thousand candles wasn't enough to light up dark cold nights, women in Gaza decided to break through the walls of stone and steal on the boarders while UN men were not up to the task. I woke up this morning on the news of thousands crossing the boarders to Egypt regardless of Ramallah's Karzai, Israel's Zionist supremacists, and the rest of the blind world. Every family has the challenge now to buy its children food and milk, and maybe some diesel to startup their backup generators to cope with the need to stay in the 21st century.

While Americans were celebrating their history of civil society struggle against hatred and disenfranchisement - based on race and gender - through the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., another system of hatred and religious supremacy is shading another part of the world. The human tragedy continues in a different style, where KKK hoods were replaced by IDF helmets. The continuous mass-lashing and group punishment continues in Gaza Strip for their democratic choices.

The humanitarian depth of this problem is not but an echo to the political situation supported by stupid politicians in Israel, Palestine, and US. The 2 neighboring states solution continues to illustrate lousiness and ridicule throughout the results. One state is allowed to create an acceptable theocracy and religious supremacy, and the other to serve that picture with a supply of partial human workers. This is a denial of human dreams of a just distribution of rights and status. Standing against this is another chapter in human struggle against German Nazi's, S.African Nats, and now Jewish Zionism.

- "They actually didn't count my last year.."
- "What do you mean ?"
- "I was enrolled in 2007.. I should have got my first rank in 6 months then in 2008 I should get a Mulazem (Lieutenant)"
- "what difference does that make ?"
- "Well .. I'm paid 1000 NIS and should get 2000"
- "wow"
- "bastards"
- "but technically, did you work last year for the security forces ?"
- "No .. we are not supposed to help Hamas government"
- "so what do they pay you for ?"
- "To stay home"
- "What ?"
- "If you were known to work for the government in Gaza.. They cut your salary right away"
- "wtf ? you are paid to stay home ? what kinda job is that ?"
- "these are the Ramallah bastards.. we are not supposed to support Gaza government"
- "The first government to hear that ever does that.. "

This conversation I had with my friend in Palestine - Hamas occupied territories (Gaza) at a very interesting time for me after finishing reading a book my wife gave me "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" which coincided with reading an interview with Jamal Ayesh - a co-founder of Fatah and a member in PLO's national committee. He mentioned how a bunch of "businessmen" are handling the Palestinian most critical issues like the Refugees, Jerusalem, water, and Settlements. This group of people is trying to hijack the Palestinian long and honoring history of struggle and self-sacrifice for personal agendas. No mentioning a number of examples of Dahalanism "Mohammed Dahalan case" and Qrai'ism "Abu Ala'a Qrai'a case with settlements". Some people like Dahalan had their cards burned by a more national group in Gaza - Hamas, but Qrai'a is leading the negotiations with the Israelis on our most important set of Palestinian red lines.

The problem is branching into a number of problems that is topped by having our top leaders get involved in a set of generous financial advantages that will change them from lousy statesmen to benefiting capitalist businessmen. On the other hand, a whole nation is dipped into a day to day life dilemma that will not push them to secure their most basic security, health, and food needs and not further care about self-determination or actualization. A whole nation leadership was trivialized in running a state's errants and beg for the next set of medicines to get into Gaza Strip or enough fuel to be shipped to keep patients from dying.

Throughout the confessions of the EHM I fell in love with the same personality the writer loved - Omar Torrijos that was murdered in a CIA style of plane crash if I'm not mistaken. It's a basic result of putting your nation's interest in front of uncle Sam's, or in Gaza's case to be boycotted and isolated and viewed as a terrorist with a beard. The stamping of the national heroes that spent their lives battling injustice to be extremists or terrorists is not a new theme, but it's a shame to fall in the same trap that has been used for the past century ..
As American's say "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" .. though Bush never knew how to say it right ..

This is how the bombed bridge looks like in the middle of the road that connects the middle refugee camps with Gaza .. after being bombed ..





Thanx to the rest of the world for giving us the opportunity to live with a challenge .. with an occupation ..

This is my temp office in Gaza .. This is how it looks .. with lights and without .. no no .. without candles and with :) ..

all my respect to the keepers of the land with their hearts and souls .. to the people that got used to stand and never bow .. I love u people .. and I'm sure people are generous enough to share this feeling with me ..
