Amnesty International analyst & spokesman

MARTY ROSENBLUTH: [...] What the report shows is that the Israeli claims that the damage to the civilian infrastructure was purely collateral damage just really doesn't match the facts. And you really only have to look at the statements by Israeli government officials. I mean, Dan Halutz, who’s the Israeli Defense Forces chief of staff, said at the very beginning of the war that the purpose of the air strikes was to send a message to the Lebanese government that if they didn't rein in Hezbollah, that the Lebanese population would pay a heavy price. I mean, that's prima fascia evidence that the strikes were designed as collective punishment. But also just the sheer level of the destruction, the destruction of the electrical infrastructure, the water infrastructure, the roads, the bridges, houses, businesses, etc., just doesn't match the Israeli claims that this was either collateral damage or due to the fact that Hezbollah was shielding amongst the civilian population.

yeah, whatever.

i gotta call bullshit, a long time ago in this thread.

just fucking bullshit,
that of self-justified retaliation,
while your kids sleep and the others are killed in their sleep,
a few miles off or thousands of miles away.
no matter. deal with the loss.

it kicks ass when we start a thread with such glib and ignorant talk about the death of civilians.

give me as many anti-war protesters willing to do something about this shit as there are pages in this thread and we'll change the world.

twelve?, well...
mmm...is it a big difference between to have thought it or to have written it?

Post by **firsty** » August 29th, 2006, 1:06 pm

thinking about it, writing about it, these are good and necessary, but they are not the same as doing something about it.

our nation is on fullblown information overload. there are plenty of opinions out there. plenty is being written, debated, argued abouit.

not much is being done.

at this rate, if we parallel iraq to vietnam, we are in about 1968 or 1969. we really need to start stepping things up. if the next presidential election isnt dramatically different (meaning - an independent-minded person), which is pretty unlikely, we're going to continue down this road.

yeah. give me 12 people who are willing to do something. we'll be the jury. the hangman will come later.

lissen, st, you're supposed to be leading this charge, old man. we need some mentors from the real age of american revolution to help us get things going.

NOFX:

Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white

The connotations wearing my nerves thin
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
I understand that language breeds stereotype
But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?

Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white

I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn,
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fairskinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy,
I'm just you're average Joe.

Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white

Represents everything I hate,
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind
The vast majority of sheep
A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
They're so fuckin' ordinary white

Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white

We're better off this way
Say what you're gonna say
So go ahead and label me
An asshole cause I can
Accept responsibility, for what I've done
But not for who I am

Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
Don't call me white, Don't call me white
