How ironic?!

"Anti-apartheid activist Suzman dies" today: maybe it's just the cruel irony of the world that a lead anti-apartheid South African activist and thinker dies on the sixth day of the Israeli holocaust against Gazans. Or maybe she just dies of grief watching what the world had come to after her struggle for racial equality for decades.

Where's Obama in all of this?

So Obama is probably easing off some of the restrictions and sanctions placed over Cuba. Where does he stand on the Israeli genocide in Gaza again?! yea... he's the coming change, of color maybe but not in US loyalties to Israel and its destructive and hegemonic policy in the Middle East.

Israeli hesitation

Today the Israeli Army shows just how desperate they are. The toll of martyrs increases to reach at least 415 in addition to more than 2000 injured men, women, and children in Gaza. The Israeli army bombed the house of Dr. Nizar Rayyan, a high-ranking Hamas official and a condoner of human shield tactic, who refused to leave his house with his wife and children, killing Rayyan and his wife and three of his children. However, Olmert states that israel is not looking for a long-time war in Gaza belying the increasing anxiety in the Israeli ranks. Hama' missiles may be primitive but they proved to be far-reaching and effective in causing the Israeli administration to think twice about launching a land attack on Gaza, which they seem to be reluctant to start right now.
