Palestinian demonstrators take inspiration from Avatar
5
Approximately two weeks after we declared Avatar to be “the greatest movie made about US foreign policy,” this shows up. Palestinian demonstrators against Israeli oppression and aggression took to the street dressed as the Na’vi tribe from planet Pandora from the movie Avatar. It’s a great analogy and, in this case, it was affective in getting them exposure.

That’s the spirit. Doing some belly dancing on the side is always good, especially if you know how to. Sister’s strutting it!

I have to say, I rarely watch movies because they don’t make them like they used to, but, I am looking forward to this one.

From The BBC:

This is a great article on how the Israeli government’s siege on journalists and some journalist’s indifference failed to portray the Gazan massacre adequately.

Gaza death toll about to reach 1000
It’s at 947 now. Two-thirds are civilians. The West is not doing anything and the East is quiet. This has got to stop. Israel knows very well that this culture of aggression will breed more violence, but they like crying “terrorist” whenever half a missile is dropped on them to get sympathy for their horrid cause. Treat humans humanely and then you might have good negotiations. What an atrocity!

Why the West doesn’t care about Gaza…
I read this good article on Truthdig.com about the West’s indifference to the Palestinian cause. It struck a chord. The death toll now over 600 and the wounded are over 3000. It’s one thing to strike because you are an occupied territory without freedoms and have dire standards of living, it’s another to struck to showcase your muscle-power. Both crimes, but they are not equal.
Protests in defense of Gaza continue…
Death toll: 438
Injuries: 2280
Days of attack: 8
