This morning I would like to honor the people of Iraq

This morning I would like to honor Iraqis who are dying to defend their country, honor and freedom. Specially people of Fallujah, Ramadi, Baquba. Freedom loving people all over the world will forever honor you for your sacrifice and heavy price you paid in blood and money. God works in mysterious way is it not? Who would have thought the Sunni Arabs would save the world from the bully George W. Bush and his arrogant army! George would have gone to Iran, Syria, and bombed North Korea by now if had succeeded subjugating Iraqis. He could have gone to finish off Palestinians, throw Muslims in concentration camps, curb more and more of people’s right in the US. But thanks to Iraqis those things didn’t happen yet! Hundreds of billions spent to defeat you; the Shiites were armed to participate in killing you; the Kurds were unleashed to bomb your cities. I saw shivering kids clinched to their mothers dress in fear after their homes kicked open by American invading troops in the middle of the night. I saw your fighters bravely stood their ground in Ramadi and Fallujah and fell by American warships and snipers, I saw your body littered the streets, wailing women and kids watching dead bodies of their sons and brothers and fathers, I saw your anger and the caricature of destroyed city of Fallujah, the torture camp of Abu-ghraib, the rape and killings of girls; pictures and videos of humiliations of men and women . But despite all that you are persevering, you are dying but winning. I, like billions others honor you and we say to you, thank you.

Many children were treated at the scene for tear-gas inhalation, reported Ma’an News Agency . One day earlier, Israeli forces in Hebron fired up to 15 tear gas canisters and five stun grenades at small children as they made their way to school Tuesday morning.

Border Children: ‘They Don’t Speak English, But They Understand Hate’

July 17, 2014 " ICH " - " Truthdig " - -  Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas put a prominent, public face on the immigration crisis this week when he was detained by the U.S. Border Patrol in McAllen, Texas. After a number of hours and a national outcry, he was released. He first revealed his status as an undocumented immigrant three years ago in a New York Times Magazine article, and has since made changing U.S. immigration policy his primary work. Vargas was in Texas to support the thousands of undocumented immigrant children currently detained there by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Gilad Atzmon : Now’s The Time To Strip Israel of its WMDs

Gilad Atzmon : Now’s The Time To Strip Israel of its WMDs Now’s The Time To Strip Israel of its WMDs By Gilad Atzmon September 26, 2013 " Information Clearing House - The Israelis are not very impressed with Hassan Rouhani, the new Iranian president. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel’s delegation to boycott his appearance at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday and later denounced Rouhani’s address there as “a cynical speech that was full of hypocrisy.” But Israel seems to be alone this time.  Both the United States and other Western nations appeared to warmly welcome the new Iranian president at the UN.   But did Rouhani present any radical change? Did he deliver new promises? Not at all. Like his predecessor, he made it clear that Iran is not going to give up on its right to proceed and develop nuclear energy. Like Ahmadinejad, Rouhani contended that  "...
