The United Nations' Role in Peace and War.
"The UN of the arms dealers - the most disreputable and yet profitable business on earth."

I agree.
My deepest sympathy to the family of Ahmed Khatib for the loss of their son.
I am amazed at the humanity shown by them. I honestly don't believe I would have the strength, generosity and the humanity shown by the Khatib family if someone ki…
My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Marwa Shirbini.
I notice in the picture, the security guard is pointing his pistol at the head of the attacker. He could have stopped him before Marwa was hurt. Why did he hold his fire?
Change (in rhetoric) we can believe in.
I've said all along that whatever good changes might occur in regard to non-foreign policy issues, such as what's already taken place concerning the environment and abortion, the Obama administration will not…

- About Me:
- My name is Thomas Rockriver,
I post on ICH under the name Ironhead.
Ironhead is slang for ironworker.
I am proud to be a friend to Nahida Izzat, the Poetry of Palestine author.
I devote much time and energy fighting the Evil that has come to this world. I hope that my infinitesimal efforts can make a difference. I will continue to resist the Evil as I am compelled to do so. To do nothing is to insult those brave people worldwide who have given their lives in this quest.
I feel the fate of all Humanity lies in the outcome of this struggle.
Truth is our most potent weapon, for all the lies on earth can not change the truth.
In this struggle we must be relentless...we must cast our stones until they become a mountain.
A mountain of truth.
With deepest respect,
Thank you...R

FW: To kill European citizens, please call 011-972-2-5839749
Hello all, I hope all is well with you.
Please load this number up with as much harassment as possible.
From the website of Lee Kaplan, Front Page Magazine contributor.
I don't know whether to call this instigation to murder exactly: they give a number to call if you know any info useful for "targeting" and "permanently removing" European citizens.

- Happy to have met you Mo Chara (means my friend in Irish)
North Carolina is lovely I once camped there years ago in autumn, it was grand:) My family are Irish, but as i was born in the US i have dual citizenship, so I say involved in US politics as it effects the rest of the world so much (unfortunately!!!) But i have lived in Northern Ireland for many years now and was involved in the struggle for freedom and justice here. I see so much the same between us and the Palestinians. I used to cry for Ireland, now I cry for Palestine

As a Scot with Irish ancestry (as half the population does on the west coast of Scotland) - I believe it is natural for us to identify with the persecution of Palestinians.
Your statement that 'truth is our most potent weapon' rings so true for me.
Your 'interests' also state 'peace and justice' - another inherent truth - you cannot have one without the other!
Peace,
Kathleen

I have been to Irland few months ago, I saw the posts where the soldiers used to watch people. And I saw the names of the shops written in the original homeland language, and a friend told me about a place more like a pub that fighters for freedom used to come from different countries speaking their own languages there but English because of the opression then. Most important of all I took pictures of the walls where there is graffitti and art work documented by freedom fighters, and there you can read support for Palestine. I will try to download some of the pictures I took there...

Moco said… - Thomas,
I've just read your story about the bitter justice in Ireland. I am sorry about the illjustices your family has suffered.
This brings up how the Trianon Treaty affected my family in Hungary--and how it still affects the nation today.
The biggest trauma was not that two-thirds of land was sudenly cut-off. The biggest trauma was not that new nations were thus created, i.e.: Czechslovakia, Slovenia, former Yugoslavia; so on.
The biggest trauma is that many villages and cities wherein the clear majority was Hungarian was abruptly cut-off from their own family and government--their own nation. And this has remained with no compensation--and no compensation can be expected. So, basically all Hungarians suffer from various forms of neuroticism. This Treaty right after WW1, wasn't the only contributor to the collective wound, but it seems to have been the strongest contributor.

- Recently a friend brought to me an embroidered map of Ireland she had picked up in a thrift store. I asked her if she noticed anything peculiar about it. I pointed out that the map, dated 1986, showed Ireland as one country...no Northern Ireland...
My mother showed me a picture of my great grandfather. I noticed he had large scars on his face. Mother told me this story...
Many years ago, during the British occupation of Ireland, my great grandfather's house was raided by the police. The police, known as the Black and Tans from their uniform, were tearing up the house looking for 'insurgents', weapons and anything of value to be 'liberated for the Crown'. They were all drunk.
When my great grandfather said something to the commanding officer that he didn't like ( he probably called them all drunken, thieving S.O.B.'s) the officer nodded to his men and two of them stepped forward and beat my great grandfather down with their rifle butts. They almost killed him, but he survived, his face and head bearing the scars of this assault for life.
Nothing like the butt of a rifle to win hearts and minds...
Many, many years later, during construction, a body was found. From the uniform it was deduced by the police that it was the body of a Black and Tan officer . The commanding officer in charge of the raid on my great grandfathers house disappeared and was never heard from again. My great grandfather had 5 brothers...
In todays world, the abduction, murder, and unlawful burial of a 'duly appointed' police officer, a commander, would be considered a crime of horrendous proportions, perhaps even an act of 'terrorism'.
In my great grandfathers time it was justice served.
Many years have passed yet this incident still lives in the memory of my mother's family in Ireland.
People do not forget injustice.
People do not forget oppression and they will resist.
The resistance may be subtle as with the unknown embroiderer who refused to show Northern Ireland on her map, or it may be much more profound like the Palestinian resistance to the horrible occupation of Palestine... but they will resist.
The resistance may be in the form of stones, or the stinging truth as exhibited by the most powerful poetry of Nahida Izzat (Poetry of Palestine),
Mother would often say that one man's terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
