I found the piece on Brundibar to be very interesting. This directly relates to a current unit of study I am doing with my 8th grade students. They are examining the connections between what happened during the Holocaust and what is currently going on in Darfur. They are very interested in getting involved to help people remember the Holocaust while at the same time raising awareness to genocide in Darfur. They are investigating doing a fundraiser and I feel a performance of this musical would be fitting. If anyone knows where I can get a copy of the musical please let me know. Many thanks for an inspiring story.

Dubya was delighted to hear about this musical, and has demanded the cast to play in the White House. He does, however, want the theme to be 'Burkas in Baghdad'...

Who cares if a country doesn%u2019t recognize Israel%u2019s right to exist? For years America did not recognize Peoples Republic of China%u2019s right to exist either!

I agree with you - BUT fact is Israel doesn't want their recognition - they have Uncle Sam.
And since they don't want to give back the land they've stolen from the Palestinians, and America is willing to send their boys to fight for them, what the hell - we'll just keep all of Palestine!

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Lenin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Idi Amin, Mugabe, (just to name a few)
have all banned their subjects from owning weapons - rendering their victims defenseless before butchering millions of them during the 20th century just because of their race, religion, or political affiliation.

Here is Adolf Hitler's racist gun control law from 1938 banning Jews from owning weapons:

"Jews are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons.
Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.
Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew's possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation.
Whoever willfully or negligently violates the provisions...will be punished with imprisonment and a fine.
Berlin, 11 November 1938
Minister of the Interior
Frick" - Nazi Weapons Law of November 11, 1938
http://www.jpfo.org/NaziLawGerman.htm

Hitler made sure the Jews were defenseless before he butchered millions of them!

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to
possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry
arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing."
-- Adolf Hitler, Hitler's Secret Conversations 403 (Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens trans., 1961)

There is starting to be a backlash against Israel and other Middle Eastern countries among the American Public for meddling in the politics of our nation and fighting their proxy wars. It seems that from time to time the media runs these types of articles in order to ensure America does not forget how badly the Jewish People had it in Europe and how America should continue to give special treatment to Israel because of past wrongs. Israeli lobbying groups are selling access to American elected as you can see in their lobbying group advertisement below.

http://www.aipac.org/forms/join_aipacClubs.htm

Blind support of Israel is hurting American interest abroad. For years no one would say anything against promoting the Israeli agenda for fear of being labeled an anti-Semitist but now America is learning it is also acceptable to disagree with Israeli promoters like these AIPAC members who would gladly sell thousands of American soldier%u2019s lives to promote Israeli interest! America did not perpetrate the wrongs of Europe against its people over 70 years ago and are not responsible for correcting them now! The longer we interject American military and money in the Middle East the longer the problems will exists.

Appeal for Redress

Sign this Appeal.

This site is an Appeal For Redress in support of our mission in Iraq.

An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.


It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.

The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.

Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.

Will any of the United States Media do an honest and open documentary on how the Palestine Land was taken over by the Zionist Terrorists and how the Palestine People have been treated since then?

Right on - that would be NEWS. I'd bet the AIPAC phones would be ringing Cheney^s office within seconds.

If the American people knew what really was happening everyday in the Occupied Territories to the Palestinian people, there would be an uproar!

the difference between hitler's holocaust and the modern day abortion holocaust is the size of the people.
