But the important question is, how do we penetrate the numbness of Israelis, soldiers and civilians alike, about the wrongness of our actions - wrong morally and stupid strategically.  As virtually everyone has recognized by now, the brutal policies only create more bitterness and desire for revenge.  How do we get the message across to Israelis that the government is undermining our security in the territories with each act of humiliation and cruelty?  How do we convey to Israelis that we are behaving in some ways like the persecutors of Jews have behaved from time immemorial? Israeli peace and human rights activists have been wracking our brains over how to accomplish this.  The young men and women who refuse to serve in the army have done more than their share to raise awareness about the army's cruel deeds, though they face court martial and prison as a result. read full story / add a comment

This would get lost under the original posting due to its lenght. ================================================ After a visit to Shannon Garda Station, I have reformated this to make it comly with FORM C8 - the Garda Siochana Statement form. Just copy all of the below into word and read it. Delete anything that does not apply to your belief. e.g. if the landing of these planes does not instil fear in you, then simply delete that paragraph. print the document, fill in your name and address (I'm not sure if you actually need to fill in the rest, but your phone number would be helpful) Then bring it to a police station. DO NOT SIGN IT PRIOR to bringing it to a Garda Station as your signature and date must be witnessed by a Garda, who will then sign it and enter it in the log. This is all designed to save you read full story / add a comment

I am not alone in this line of thinking, by the way, as I've received complaints from senior colleagues with ties to the major alternative media/news organizations and antiwar groups about the lack of serious consideration of how to prepare for a Bush Wins scenario. Because the reality is that if the war is quick and a U.S.-occupation established effectively, progressive forces need to accept the removal of Hussein as a great opportunity to build democracy and justice in Iraq, whatever the actual motives of the Bush Administration. read full story / add a comment
