And let's not forget where Israel gets their shit (to include those nukes nobody but Mordechai Vanunu is willing to talk about)! Gilad Shalit is home in Israel, safe and sound and Palestinians are still dying -- while the whole world watches.

Yesterday, while most Americans were caught up in another episode of "All My Generals," -- this is what Israel was doing in Gaza:
My, my, my. Sure can't blame Julian Assange, Bradley Manning or WikiLeaks on "exposing" this targeted murder of Ahmed Jabri, the head of Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip. This video is courtesy of the IDF, themselves (pretty sure Qaddaffi, wherever he is, knows exactly what this is all about).
Natasha Lennard's, "The latest from Gaza?" offers an interesting blow-by-blow of the continuing, "David and Goliath" struggle going on (no need to point out who's Goliath is there?).
If it weren't such a tragic piece of reality, I'd have to say h/t to Bibi for boxing the Changeling into that "pragmatic strategy" for which all you armchair enthusiasts (who think you're really a part of this damned game) like to pat his ass on the back. Lest we forget Bibi did support Romney:
Israeli aircraft have bombed tunnels on Gaza’s border with Egypt through which basic civilian goods and arms destined for militant groups pass into the tightly blockaded region.
White House adviser Ben Rhodes said Thursday afternoon that the U.S. has asked countries that have contact with Hamas to urge the group to stop its rocket attacks.Then he says this!
"We’ve … urged those that have a degree of influence with Hamas such as Turkey, and Egypt and some of our European partners to use that influence to urge Hamas to de-escalate." Meanwhile, Rhodes made clear that no such de-escalation requests were made by the U.S. to Israel. “Ultimately it’s up to the Israeli government to make determinations about how they’re going to carry out their military objectives” he told press. (emphasis mine)What kind of schizophrenia is that??!
Update (Nov. 15, 11.00 a.m. EST): The death toll continued to rise in Gaza on the second day of Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense — a full military assault which began yesterday with airstrikes that killed Hamas military leader Ahmad Jabari. Reuters, citing the Gaza health ministry, says the death toll in the blockaded region since the start of the Israeli operation has risen to 15, including eight civilians among them a pregnant woman with twins, an 11-month old boy and three infants. Meanwhile three Israelis have been killed since Wednesday by Palestinian rocket fire.Please, do read all of Ms. Lennard's piece and then explain to me about "balance of power." And when you're done, watch, and think about this:

From Democracy Now:
"Israel broke an informal ceasefire on Wednesday by assassinating Hamas military commander Ahmed Jabari in an air strike. The Israeli peace activist Gershon Baskin, who helped mediate talks between Israel and Hamas in the deal to release Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, has revealed Jabari was assassinated just hours after he received the draft of a permanent truce agreement with Israel, which included mechanisms for maintaining the ceasefire."
What I find interesting is that no one in the administration challenges these aggressive measures by the Israelis. There are also Jewish pundits who are upset by the actions of the latter as it pertains to this border war.
Two links with more info on this daunting and unfortunate state of affairs are as follows:

The best to you for your posts that are illuminating and are also catalysts for many who read them to begin critically thinking about those events that adversely impact us and others.
Hey, Sis Carolyn!!...Good to see you!
What I find interesting is that no one in the administration challenges these aggressive measures by the Israelis. "
When the HNIC has said repeatedly, "I've got Israel's back" (thanks to all that AIPAC cash he collected) -- I don't expect to hear ANY reprisals, Sis. The Zionists run our media and all 3 branches of our government and it is they, who have their hands on the rudder of this murderous ship.
Yes, there are Jews who condemn and have been condemning this Palestinian genocide, but their cries fall on deaf ears -- and will continue to.
I've come to the understanding the some people are just greedy and murderous, with no conscience -- even though they claim to be so "godly." It's so damned depressing to think there's nothing decent people can, or will do. {smdh}
Thanks for the links! I'll head on over to them and add them to the post immediately under "Related." You can never have enough information to make an informed decision!
"The best to you for your posts that are illuminating and are also catalysts for many who read them to begin critically thinking about those events that adversely impact us and others."
Sis Carolyn, coming from you and your font of wisdom, that means a helluva lot to me -- I am humbly grateful. Thanks so much for stopping by and do come back and visit whenever you feel the urge!
Peace and Blessings to you, Sister
