I just posted a message on the latest article on this blog, which relates directly to the images of girls in Israel writing messages on rockets. I think that these images are total sickening and I can just imagine that Israeli press were invited to take these pictures, and these pictures are not just someone walking by and taking the imagine on his phone but rather a planned day out for both the girls (assuming from school) and the photographers (who had been invited).

Knowing that these same rockets will be fired deliberately at civilian targets intending to kill people just makes my stomach churn. I was watching a documentary here in the UK couple of days ago, which was regarding children growing up in different environments and how it had an impact on their lives from childhood till adulthood. I can just imagine these girls (and fellow children) growing up to clearly label Muslims or other Arab nations are natural enemy. Had these images been of Lebanon or Hezbollah girls writing on Hezbollah rockets I can just imagine the (western) world taking the images and justifying why Israel needs to attack Lebanon, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria.

I just pray that the parents of these girls were no present when these unfortunate sad images of the future generation were taken.

we are in deep trouble here

“The other thing is about intelligence from Uzbekistan, which is basically designed to exaggerate the threat from Al Qaeda. I think, similarly, the ‘war on terror’ is a mask for a very standard imperialist grab for resources, and it fits into people’s illiberal agendas. Just as they know the intelligence from Uzbekistan was totally false, so they knew that the intelligence about Iraq’s ‘weapons of mass destruction’ was false. I mean, the FCO is not full of idiots, they’re extremely clever, informed people who know what they’re doing. They knew there were no WMDs in Iraq. I discussed it with colleagues.”

ok, i know he was,

1986-9 Second Secretary, Commercial, British High Commission, Lagos
1989-92 Head of Maritime Section, FCO, London
1992-4 Head of Cyprus Section, FCO London
1994-7 First Secretary (Political and Economic), British Embassy, Warsaw
1997-8 Deputy Head, Africa Department (Equatorial), Foreign and Commonwealth Office
1998-2002 Deputy High Commissioner, British High Commission, West Africa Branch
2002-2004 British Ambassador, Uzbekistan

but to make the outrageous case that the ‘war on terror’ is a mask for a very standard imperialist grab for resources,
well its unthinkable,
and obviously the captains and viva’s know far more about what goes on than this amateur
