Bush’s humiliation in Iraq talk of the town

Bush’s humiliation in Iraq talk of the town:
Rawalpindi

The episode of hurling shoes on US President George W. Bush remained talk of the town, as people belonging to different walks of life expressed their extreme excitement over the incident and praised the ‘brave act’ of the Iraqi journalist.

‘The News’ interviewed a number of people who were all praise for Iraqi journalist Muntadar Al-Zaidi, who hurled shoes on the US president. They were sympathetic towards the Iraqi journalist and were of the view that Bush should be declared a terrorist as he killed many innocent people.

Muhammad Ikram, a professor, said: “The brave act of Iraqi journalist is really appreciable, as Bush deserved this.” He said it was the reaction of Iraqi people, as the US Army killed many innocent Muslims during Iraq war. “Although it was an act, but it truly reflects the hate of Muslims against the US president,” he said.

Naveed Ali, a government employee, said that Bush has started a war against terrorism, but he is a terrorist himself as he killed many innocent people not only in Iraq but also in Afghanistan. This is the main reason that all Muslims across the globe hate Bush and his policies. “Throwing shoes on him is the reaction of that hate and disliking,” he said.

Aftab Bibi, a housewife, said: “I really enjoyed the video clip on Geo Television of throwing shoes on the US president.”

“The US is interfering in all Muslim countries and killing innocent people. I wish the shoes should have hit Bush. The act of Iraqi journalist is good and all journalists should support him,” said Irfan Waheed, a shopkeeper.

Faheem Khan, a lawyer, said the act of Iraqi journalist is totally indecent as it was not the way to express hate. The journalist should be neutral while attending such press conferences. He said there were many other journalists who dislike US president but they didn’t react like that.

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 01/13/2009 | Poll: American public backs Israel firmly in war with Hamas : "WASHINGTON — As Palestinian casualties mount in the Gaza Strip, the American people are squarely behind Israel and overwhelmingly think that using force against Hamas is appropriate, according to a new McClatchy/Ipsos poll. Forty-four percent of Americans support Israel's use of force, while only 18 percent considered Hamas' use of force appropriate. Fifty-seven percent think that Hamas is using excessive force, while only 36 percent said Israel was. Nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the violence — soldiers and civilians — and at least nine Israeli soldiers and four civilians have died. When it comes to who's to blame for the latest Middle East crisis, Americans blame Hamas hands down: Forty-four percent said Hamas, 14 percent said Israel and 29 percent said they weren't sure. Nine percent said both, and 4 percent said neither."
