the best article on Gaza one year after + video, deconstructing Obama's body language & more

[mary <humdrum2 at libero.it>]

Elias Akleh has written what we consider the most complete and 
important article one year after the brutal Israeli assault on Gaza, 
Occupied Palestine. He mentions the acquiescence if not outright 
abetting by not only the US and EU, but also of the Arab countries, 
in filtering aid only to Palestine by enhancing Abbas's private 
"security" forces. This article is a brilliant dossier, and should be 
read by anyone who is seeking to understand the true responsibilities 
of what Dr Akleh calls an International War Crime. The betrayal of 
Palestine runs at every level, it is shocking and painful to remember 
this, but all should be aware.

Haitham has created an incredibly moving video with some of the most 
significant images of the onslaught. The powerful montage and music 
are his homage to the suffering of his people, and I join  him to 
say, We'll Never Forget.

England's best and brightest activist, our affiliate, Brenda Heard of 
Friends of Lebanon has written a witty, albeit very worrying, 
deconstruction of Obama's body language. Who needs rhetoric when 
actions speak faster? She says, "Forget the Rhetoric, let the face 
and the money tell the story"
