Events in Gaza Today

[gsdfargo]

...I realize that this post has NOTHING to do with sex, but it could have some pretty serious ramifications in the Arab world...what does everyone here think about the events in Gaza today? Over 200 civilians dead and many more wounded...I am wondering, if we can appreciate our Arab friends as "eye Candy", how might we also be able to show support in cases like this? Any suggestions???

...so it has been 3 hours since I posted this thread...and no responses...hmmm...

While I don't know if any Arab Gay men where killed as a result of the more than 100 tons of explosives dropped on Gaza, today alone, by the State of Israel, I can say that Gay Arab men DO have Mothers, Fathers, Brothers and Sisters...and of the 200 killed and the more than 400 wounded...this could affect them

The State of Israel will say that todays attacks were retribution for the recent lobbing of rockets into the State of Israel. This raises a few points. First...is there a greater context as to WHY Gaza and the elected Hamas government has been shelling Israel? Could the strangling of Gaza have anything to do with these acts? And finally is it not possible that the State of Israel has reacted out of all proportion to those acts?

To all the Americans who visit this site and wax poetic about the size of Arab cock and the big brown eyes and chocolate skin tones of Arab men...I ask first that you visit this site:
www.ifamericansknew.org
then...as for concrete actions to take:
a. Boycott the purchase of Israeli goods
b. look at your 401 k's and divest of funds that invest in the state of Israel
c. call or write your congresspersons...let them know that you exist and have something to say...let them know that your vote matters AS MUCH and MORE than an endorsement from AIPAC.

The reason there have been no responses is that the cheney-bush REGIME Spy Network is monitoring / recording / viewing EVERYTHING said or printed over wire and air waves - in addition to opening people's mail - all now without need for Warrants as required by The Constitution of The United (now CORPORATE) States of America.

I'm certain that more than you and I are disgusted to absolutely no end at the war crimes the jews are comitting - but just saying so will have me (now, as of just writing that) put on a terrorism watch list. People are routinely spied upon, their calls/emails/mail more closely scrutinized & monitored; their names can appear on lists which prevent them from booking passage / travelling on planes, trains, and boats. They can create trouble for people by contacting their neighbors and employers - giving rise to unfounded/baseless suspicions that they are involved in criminal or terrorist activity.

That is why you are not getting any responses. You and I are Caucasian - so we will not necessarily experience the harsh, illegal treatment and torture which non-Caucasians would. It is harder for them to kidnap us from our homes and "disappear" us to one of their many Nazi style Secret GULAGS and PRISON CAMPS around the world. They do, however, still have drone aircraft which operate in this country too - which can drop little bombs on our houses ... making it then appear that it was a natural gas furnace, or a propane tank explosion. People would jeer at that - but this regime is not beneath such things ... the same as the jews and israel are not beneath the infinite number of lowly crimes they have perpetrated on people throughout the Mid-East. I have been to israel and witnessed how they treat non-jews like Dogs ... unless they are in the process of getting money or weapons from them.

I know it is of little consolation for us - but other than doing the things you suggest (not buying anything associated with israel, not having any monies invested in israel, and letting our Congressional REPRESENTATIVES know our position on this issue) ... there is little which we can do which will not be used by the cheney-bush GESTAPO to try to ruin and possibly take our own lives. The even more regrettable thing is that it is beginning to appear that the jews have also bought Obama ... which will mean that these sins will continue.

Ultimately - it will be up to ALL the people of the Middle East to resist the divide and conquer tactics of the cheney-bush-rice Regime ... and rise up and crush this problem once and for all. Unfortunately, many of those in the Middle East who could be helpful - have instead fallen victim to greed, as they have doubtless been presented with (collective) billions of dollars in bribes ... routed to Secret Swiss bank accounts. (Remember the lawyer cheney shot while out walking with their Ambassador to Switzerland ... the Secret Banking Capital of the World - Switzerland ???. The dumbing down of America now prevents Americans from even connecting the simplest of dots ... even when hundreds of billions of dollars sent to Iraq have "MYSTERIOUSLY" and COMPLETELY "DISAPPEARED !!!"

George Washington and several of the founding fathers warned vehemently against "trusting" the government ... advising us to guard "jealously" our liberty and freedoms, and not fall into the trap of "career politicians" and political parties (the last of which George Washington warned would lead to the end of our democracy). Stay strong - and offer up your prayers for the innocent victims of the genocide going on ... but they, and their neighbors will have to rise like the hornets from a hornets' nest and defend themselves against these barbarian savages who masquerade as "God's chosen". So convenient that that fraud should appear in a book which they, themselves, wrote ... just like all their other frauds.

hi all, I am agaist this situation. Palestinians have right to live in peace and they have also right to state about themselve. I am saying this not because I love Arabs, but because to me it is unfair that one nation is supported in its action against any other one. I can imagine the situation just now in Gaza - threat, fear, pain.I wish any of God (Allah, Jesus or someone else) would stop this stupid and unneeded situation.

If anyone out there feels the way I do - powerless - it might explain the lack of responses. I am glad, however, that there have been demonstrations around the US and the world but still demonstrations won't stop the killing. Out current administration has been very negative about Hammas but not a word against Israel. It's like the war in Lebanon a few years ago when the lives of 3 Israeli soldiers caused the deaths of 1200 lebanese. And it's the same story today. Apparently neither Israel nor the US understand that definition of insanity ---- "taking the same action over and over again and getting the same un-desireable results". I had hope that the Obama administration might take a new approach to the Palestinian-Israeli problem but it doesn't seem likely with Clinton as Secretary of State. So it looks as if nothing is going to change. Insanity.
