Witness: Palestinian's Death Unjust

Anyone care to place a gentlemanly wager on this ending with -at most- a slap on the wrist for some poor soldier!?! When you have a war criminal for Prime Minister how can you reasonably expect front-line troops to behave with any common human decency?

British Witness Says Troops Killed Palestinian Boy Without Provocation

NABLUS, West Bank Sept. 23 (AP) — A British volunteer working with Palestinians in the West Bank said Monday she witnessed an Israeli soldier shoot dead a Palestinian teen-ager, deliberately and without provocation.

The Israeli military said the death of 13-year-old Baha Albahsh is under investigation. Military officials initially said he set himself alight while handling a fire bomb, but a Palestinian doctor said he was killed by a gunshot in the chest.

Ewa Jasiewics, 24, of London, said Albahsh tagged along with her group as usual on Sunday as the foreigners walked in the town of Nablus to observe Israeli troops' behavior toward youngsters breaking a military curfew to get to school.

She is an activist with the International Solidarity Movement, which regularly stages protest marches against the Israeli army and has tried to act as a human shield for Palestinians, both on the streets and in standoffs with troops at Yasser Arafat's West Bank headquarters and at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.

"An armored personnel car came and stopped on the left of the street," Jasiewics said. "A soldier popped up from inside. I saw him with his rifle and he aimed at some kids on the street. There was no stone-throwing or shooting going on at the time."

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
