and my comments.


"ISRAELI GOVERNMENT HUSH ON THE HUSH"

"As I mentioned a few times, this year’s Independence Day celebrations were non participatory events in Israel in Israel. Hardly a flag was flying, hardly a song was sung….. but the government and the press here completely ignored that phenomenon, as does most of the Western governments.
The Israeli government is in the midst of their own problems… a new scandal involving the Prime Minister, probably the scandal that will be the reason for new elections in the very near future.

But the question remains, why the bitterness among the Israeli people? The answer is simple, Israelis are sick and tired of being lied to. They question every move the government makes these days, including the intensified actions against the Palestinians.

No kidding. The Israelis sound JUST LIKE AMERICANS!!!


Israel talks peace but makes war… Israeli soldiers die…. and for what? That is what the parents of these soldiers are asking… FOR WHAT???

But the arrogance of the government forces them to continue despite the will of the people… it’s easier to ignore that will and just put a ‘hush on the hush’……

President Bush will be arriving here on the 15th of May… he will bear witness to the real will of the people as the sky over Jerusalem turns black in protest.

YOU can help make this happen
…..

(1) On May 15, we are asking everyone, wherever he or she is, to wear back. PLEASE WEAR BLACK!


(2) WRITE LETTERS, or help collect letters from Palestinian children. You can email us the letters and we will print them out and attach to the balloons that we will launch;


(3) If you are in Palestine, volunteer to help us inflate and LAUNCH the balloons on May 15;


(4) Wherever you are, consider doing an action in SOLIDARITY with our action (in addition to whatever else you may be planning). For example, you can launch your own balloons, fly black kites, march with black banners, etc....
