ISRAELI CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS - I'M A SCHMINIST

I found this video to be very interesting because it comes from younger children. If an Arab child grows up along side an Israeli child then when they grow up and are placed on the battle field then the chances of them putting a gun to each others heads will be slimmer. During war, soldiers are trained to see the enemy as an object and not a human life. But if these children from different sides play and grow up together then they will never want to kill their friend, even if they are the "enemy".

If you carry the Israeli citizenship then by law you must serve in the army or government for at least 2 years, regardless of what part of the world you live in. Every Israeli must help the state of Israel because Israel is continuously trying to be seen as an "independent" state that does not need help from anyone else except from its own people. You do not necessarily have to serve in the army, but you must serve within the government for 2 years in anything that you specialize in, but it is highly recommended that you do serve in the army.



ALEX THOMSON ON CHANNEL 4 NEWS EXPOSES THE WAR CRIMES

As the days passed, the causalities rose as well. This video clip puts the Israeli Prime Minister Spokesman on the spot and exposes the truths as to why Israel has not allowed for humanitarian aid for the people in Gaza.

The people in Gaza need a lot of aid and Israel has been making it really difficult for the Red Cross and the United Nations to come in and give those people their basic necessities that every human is entitled to. The Red Cross and the United Nations have both been under attack by Israel to the point that the Red Cross and the U.N. had to pull out of Gaza because it was too dangerous. Both refuse to re-enter until Israel gives its word that they will not attack them.

Besides attacking the Red Cross and the U.N.vehicles and hospitals, Israel also launched air strikes on a school that the U.N. had overtaken. The U.N. was using this school as a shelter for those families who have lost their homes during the war and was providing them with basic needs. Many were buried under the ruble.



INNOCENT CHILDREN DEAD

When people watch the war on the news they forget about the innocent people living their. Most of us imagine a battlefield with two sides fighting and most of the time that is what ABC, NBC, and CNN show. But the truth to the reality of it is that it is not a battlefield. The battlefield, the war zone, is taking place right in the streets, with the missiles aiming towards the homes of these civilians. I watched this video and watched how the father was literally on the floor crying as his daughter's dead body rolled around on the floor. I posted this video because 99% of the time they will not show dead little kids on television, they think its too "blunt" or too "brutal", but they forget that this is the truth. This is what is really going on over there. Yes, its sad and harsh, but its the reality and the world needs to see this because if they don't then no one will care to come in and intervene and stop these war crimes.

I watched this video and I literally had tears in my eyes. I sit here in my perfect little world and I forget about what is going on on the other side of the world. I know its war and people die all the time in war, but why is it that when we think of war and think of the causalities we think of them as being less important. When we turn on the news at 5 o'clock we watch because most of the time we want some sort of entertainment while having we are having our dinner. We feel sympathy for a moment or two, then we get bored and we flip the channel and forget. I think psychologically we think that because they are SO far away, that it isn't really real, or better yet that they are just not real.



ISRAELI SOLDIERS REFUSE TO SERVE IN GAZA

It is very moving to see that many Israeli's are refusing to serve there 2 years in the army. They see how this war is not a just war and they are speaking out about how they are against it.



FIRST AIR STRIKE - DEC. 27.08

This is the first day and the first air strike that hit in Gaza. I literally had goosebumps when I saw the police officer laying on the floor reading his final prayer before his death arrives. It is so sad, so utterly sad. You will never see this clip on the evening news here. Luckily there was a journalist right there when it happened. I don't know how the journalist had the ability to film that dying man because it is only with these images that we no longer think of these civilians as "others" but instead as real human beings just like us.

There are so many causalities and not enough ambulances to drive people to the hospitals. All the people are helpless that everyone is trying to help out. Every and all vehicles pull up to the just-bombed area and pick up the injured and drive them to the closest hospital. Taxi cabs and other vehicles drive around all day long looking and finding the injured and the dead.
