Burning Conscience


What really happened in the last decade or more during Israeli occupation in Palestine. First hand accounts by Israeli veteran soldiers. Brave enough to take off the blinkers. The resulting 'breaking the silence' tour information is here, http://www.shovrimshtika.org/index_e.asp along with testimonies, galleries etc all from Israeli soldiers brave enough to 'come out' about what was going on in occupied Palestine.


If Hamas is such a huge terrorist threat, why are there attacks on Israel so impotent? If they were a real threat, there would be a reversal of the situation. Israel would be occupied, their supplies almost completely cut off. They wouldn't have the luxury of going off to work, or even have jobs, or go to school, or their synagogues, or have the freedom of movement without numerous checkpoints dealing mainly in humiliation.

It's time for altruism to be embraced by the foreign policies of Israel, US, Australia, Britain and all the other Western countries. I feel shame that as an Australian we blindly follow the US in foreign 'defense' - defense is used very loosely. The golden ethic of all religions, altruism - it's time.

The real terrorists are the Israeli's and the governments and foreign policies of western countries are giving them the green light and dragging it's citizens/taxpayers along though we do NOT condone what Israel is doing and demand that it stop.

  1. Thanks for sharing your feelings. I also have that feeling of deep shame about the lack of action from my own government (Dutch) ... Let's all speak out and the truth be heard ...
