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.

What's Driving the Jerusalem Attacks - by Uri Avnery

What's Driving the Jerusalem Attacks - by Uri Avnery The Jewish public is not interested in all this. They don't know - and don't want to know - what is going on in the Arab neighborhoods, some hundreds of meters from their homes. So they are surprised, surprised and shocked, by the ungratefulness of the Arab inhabitants. A young man from Sur Baher recently shot pupils of a religious seminary in West Jerusalem. A young man from Jabal Mukaber drove a bulldozer and ran over everything that crossed his path. This week, another youngster from Umm Touba repeated exactly the same act. All three of them were shot dead on the spot. The attackers were ordinary young men, not particularly religious. It seems than none of them was a member of any organization. Apparently, a young man just gets up one fine morning and decides that he has enough. He then carries out an attack all by himself, with any instrument at hand - a pistol bought with his own money, in the first instance, or a bu
