IF YOU CARE about Israel or Palestine, you have to be curious and you should get yourself informed on the history and the facts. 

Watch the movie called "THE IRON WALL"

Here are some links somebody just sent me:


Palestine for Beginners is a locally produced DVD to explain the history of Israel & Palestine.  It is easy to follow, and informative.  You have have attended one of the shows.  Now you can get a DVD to share with your friends.  Go to http://www.palestineinformation.org/About%20Us.htm#DVD for more information.

Maybe you don't mind being fooled by your local news stations.  Then again, maybe you can look at Aljazeera and ask your local station why they leave such vital facts out.  Try it!  I'm a former Marine, and though we former Marines aren't always popular, we include Daniel Elsberg, and Josh Rushing.  Josh worked with Aljazeera when he was a Public Information Officer in Iraq.  That's where he works now!  Maybe ex-Marines have more heart than people give us credit for.


Not everybody who messes you is your enemy.  Not everybody who helps you is your friend.  Learn who Rom Emanual is and learn who anybody on any President's Cabinet is when you first hear about them

Tell Israel to stop sending their teenagers to Jail for being consciencious objectors.  If they can't find people to fight their battles, maybe they need to stop and consider what's wrong with their policies.
