ISRAELI ADMISSIONS:
“That’s what is so nice, supposedly, about Gaza: You see a person on a road, walking along a path. He doesn’t have to be with a weapon, you don’t have to identify him with anything and you can just shoot him. With us it was an old woman, on whom I didn’t see any weapon. The order was to take the person out, that woman, the moment you see her.”
Israeli troops detail Gaza atrocities as demand grows for war crimes probe
“When we entered a house, we were supposed to bust down the door and start shooting inside and just go up storey by storey… I call that murder. Each storey, if we identify a person, we shoot them. I asked myself – how is this reasonable?”

ON CANADIAN COMPLICITY WITH ZIONISTS:

As a nation, Israel is a disgrace. I am constantly amazed at the general lack of compassion shown towards Palestinians. Israel treats Palestinians as the Nazis treated Jews. The worst is yet to come, I fear.

what are we – the rest of the world – going to do to stop this happening again? we have the luxury of reading about these atrocities and not suffering them directly; we must somehow find the means to change things before any further killings. Seriously: ideas, please/

Greetings to the stricken People of Palestine, my heart is with you.
First off, a bit about myself: I have a marketing background, having worked in public relations for a long time. Working in this field, I know that to sell something you need to get your core message over to the person you want to move, with the slightest possible means.
The man who put down the ground work for public relations was called Edward Bernays. A puppet of the exact people who are killing and repressing you.
Let’s use their own mans work against them!
The trouble I see, is that you are not getting your core message out to the people of the world. The controlled media is successfully suppressing any news of the Israeli atrocities against you. Even the kidnapping of Cynthia McKinney was easily blocked out.
The work of everyone involved in helping Palestine is invaluable, but there should be an additional key.
And there is.
The letters SOS (save our souls) are the international signal for distress. If anyone was ever in distress, it must be the Palestinian people.
Three simple, but effective letters.
My advice: Use these letters!
Use them everywhere; On every field, wall, window, rooftop, road, shirt, dress, wherever there is a space. The bigger the better.
This way, whenever anything is filmed by the media, the message is omnipresent.
At some stage, people worldwide will see this message and they will ask what it is about.
Imagine the disgust of the world, when seeing Israeli pilots bombing a building with an SOS sign on it, or a soldier shooting a woman with SOS written on her clothing.
In the west we are brought up to think that you don’t harm people who are in distress.
It may, and I’m not saying it will, but it may even have a long term effect on the so called soldiers committing these crimes…..even when it is only in their darkest hours, when they are alone with their consciences.
Make them feel guilty, the way they make others feel guilty.
I’m not saying it’s the big solution everyone has been waiting for, and it’s not a bringer of miracles, but it could be an added opportunity of attention.
It would be the worldwide first of it’s kind.
Ask the world for help.
SOS.
Good luck

I find William Freeman’s SOS idea very interesting. And, yes, we *should* get the core message across.

William:
What a great idea! Is there anyway that we can all get together and work on a plan to help these people using this idea?

I’ve just learned of this site and Kudos to the blogger(s). Regarding the idea above, has anything been done about it? What’s the next step?

Hi Eva,
How are you? I was wondering if you had received my previous couple of emails as I fear that my ISP has been playing games. I am still very interested in the photos from Gaza and am more than willing to pay Emad for his efforts.
Could you please drop me a line to let me know where we stand with this? I am very keen to support yor efforts and of course display the images on the upcoming web-site.
I look forward to your e-mail with eager anticipation. I am not sure how we lost contact.
Many regards,
Matt Smith

PS: I will fix the web-site to display the Palestinian Territories, rather than Israel in the next week.
