Bravely Defending...

I believe, if things follow their usual course, that the Israeli soldiers will be praised for their alleged self-defense tactic. Mind you, it is actually an act of state sanctioned terror that will be...WILL BE...supported by the Obomber administration as I've heard Israel described as the U.S. pitbull in the Middle East. They help keep the oil flowing to the proper "interests." What these murders and are for is to "terrorize" any folk looking to help the Palestinians who are heavily oppressed by the nation state of Israel, that you have the potential to be murdered by these murderers. We know the U.S. will support this action like they supported so many other murderous nation states in order to serve the self-interests of the wealthy. These types of things are not unusual for governments to do. This one was rather open and blatant. A hands in the cookie jar, if you will. A convoy of peaceful ships attacked by Israeli state sanctioned terrorists to strike terror into activists looking to ease the Israeli caused suffering of the Palestinian people (and so many others throughout the region). This will be called brave and defensive. Here is a bit of "Black and Tans" lyrics by the Wolftones. It is about the sell-outs who bravely killed with guns those with spears and bows and arrows. They won medals for this. Kind of like the British soldiers who won medals for killing unarmed Irish protesters on Bloody Sunday. Kind of like the 7th Cavalry who won 29 medals of honor for murdering some 500 unarmed Lakota. Here is part of the lyrics.

"Come tell us how you slew
Those old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
How you bravely slew each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to the marrow."

Go here for the rest of the song lyrics.

Here, let me give you a spin on some other history to give you a sense of how these murders, this massacre, makes me feel.

Kip Kinkel was bravely defending himself when he killed in self-defense a few of his fellow classmates.

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold bravely defended themselves from their high school comrades at Columbine High School. What brave young men they were.

Ted Bundy, a lover of women, bravely defended himself against them.

Now there is a different spin to the murderers mentioned above. It is not much different, really, than the spin being put on the murders of 19 folk on that unarmed flotilla (sticks and knives are not arms compared to guns with live ammunition). The Israeli military did not act bravely, nor was it in self-defense. The Israeli military murdered, massacred, and terrorized any thinking of helping the people they enjoy making suffer for being Palestinian.

So, if Israel was bravely defending itself against folk who didn't have weapons. Remember when Colin Powell was showing the photos of the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq's possession? You remember, the vehicles that actually weren't weapons, but got the U.S. into a war that has slaugthered some one and a half million Iraqis. That is the proof of the weapons that Israel has. They ought to hire Colin Powell to give them some international legitimacy. Colin, BTW, helped in the cover up of the My Lai massacre, where brave U.S. soldiers defended themselves against unarmed Vietnamese, Lt. Cally starting out first by killing a young boy. Brave brave men.

Now imagine you are at a basketball game. When the whistle blows and the ball is thrown for the game to start, one team whips out automatic weapons and murders everyone on the other team. Did the team with the weapons win? I dare you to question that. Would you question the bravery and the sportsmanship of men who are heavily armed? Would you?

That is how Israel will be justified in these murders. This massacre. That is how these men murdering folk armed with sticks and knives will be praised. However, in obvious reality, they are cowards and murderers, like Kip Kinkel, Ted Bundy, Eric Harris, and Dylan Klebold. No one makes excuses for Kip, Ted, Eric and Dylan. They call them mass murderers.

"One law for the common man, another for the king."

We have to change everything folks.
