Then he became second to Khomeini after the revolution. He would be the leader of the country after the death of Khomeini if he had just kept his mouth shut and had not continued criticizing Khomeini. He did not hesitate criticizing Khomeini when necessary. The peak of his criticisms was in 1989 when hundreds of Iranian youth were being executed by Khomeini's regime every day. As a result of challenging Khomeini on that, he was disapproved by Khomeini. After the death of Khomeini, he was practically put on house arrest by Ali Khamenei's for about 20 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent years, Montazeri directly challenged the regime and was becoming a serious threat to the regime. He was the moral support for the people and their struggle against the regime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never thought that I would ever shed tears for a cleric, but I did today and was saddened for the loss of this man; man of dignity and high principles.

Similar repeated bullshits to what he's been saying during his last 5 speeches at the UN. But what is more disgusting is the reaction of Western leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sick and tired of hearing the western countries bitching about Ahmadinejad's comments about holocaust and/or bitching about Iran's nuclear activities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an Iranian, like majority of Iranians, these are not my immediate concerns; not even my second degree concerns. There are many other issues that are my main concerns; Violation of human rights and Iranian regime's fight against peoples' desire for democracy in Iran are my main concerns. I don't give a damn what he says about holocaust. The Zionists keep using it so much that it has become more like "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.normanfinkelstein.com/content.php?pg=3"&gt;holocaust industry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;", so to make sure no one dares to criticize Israel. And Ahmadinejad talks about it because he knows that by using it he can distract the world's attention from more tangible issues such as Iranian peoples' struggle against the regime. But what western countries do is nothing but kissing Israel's ass, again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's say, the idiot fake president of Iran stops talking about Israel and holocaust, or even decides to become friend with Israel (another criminal and internationally hated regime); Let's say, the Iranian regime decides that Iran is stopping all its nuclear activities and is going to be friend with the rest of the world. Then what? Then, I am sure most of the concerns and conflicts with the west will go away. Why? Because western leaders don't give a damn about Iranian people and their struggle with this regime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why nothing should be tied to Iran's policies towards Israel, holocaust and/or Iran's nuclear activities. Otherwise, west will once again exchange integrity with its interests and Western interests are not necessarily in line with Iranian peoples' basic interests. So in short, screw the west. Let's have our own way without relying on these bastards.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-2800194830560121910?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/2800194830560121910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=2800194830560121910&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/2800194830560121910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/2800194830560121910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2009/09/west-at-service-of-israel-whats-new.html' title='The West at the service of Israel..., Nothing new!'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-5117352243715480252</id><published>2009-08-26T05:05:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-26T11:15:40.399-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='US Politics'/><title type='text'>On the passing of Edward Kennedy</title><content type='html'>Internally, he spoke for the poor, put efforts for human rights, labour rights and democracy.

Beware of the foreign gifts to the regime.</title><content type='html'>Yes, Iran is at a critical point of its history. This may be the beginning of an end for the regime in Iran. Do I want them to fall in a violent way? I am not sure. But there is one thing I am sure about: they will not fall easily. I know that this would be very costly to the country  and to my people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The regime in Iran will not hesitate to commit any crime, any massacre of the public in order to be in power for a bit longer. There will be no limit to, to what extend they are willing to go in cracking down any voice of opposition. They are simply ruthless and will go as far as it takes regardless of the cost to people of Iran. My feeling says that they should go as fast as possible but hey, I am here in the other side of the world in Vancouver, Canada. It is easy for me to subscribe peoples' action against the regime. I'll be safe, but my people will not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps one other option is for the regime to remain in power, but begin to fade out. This may have more gradual impact to the change, but at least fewer people will die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me put it this way: If we agree that they do have their followers in the country. If we agree that, at least 5% of people are their followers. If we agree that from that 5%, 1% are true followers who act based on nothing but religious beliefs, and if we agree that when there is a question of religion, humanity takes the back seat, then we have to agree that 1% of the population: 700,000 dumb idiots will act fearlessly and will do anything to save their "religion"; anything! Even if that means killing thousands of people. Now, let's see how easy it is to kill! Imagine only one of these idiots, equipped with all kind of weapons decides to go to one of the busy parts of the city, take his weapons out and kill as many as possible. After all, he sees them all as the enemies of his religion who were not loyal to the leadership. Now, multiply this by 700,000. Too much? Ok! 500,000. No? Let’s say 50,000. Yes, they can devastate lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said this, I have to admit that we, who live in outside of the country have no right to tell the people in Iran how to deal with this regime. It will turn out that we are behind the people, by miles. Let them lead us. Let's only support what they choose to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a critical time and the regime has shown that they are very capable of using unpleasant events to their benefits. In first couple of years after the revolution, Iran was perhaps one of (If not the) most democratic countries in the world. Despite the wishes of the regime and its leaders, people kept pushing for their legitimate demands. But there was no crack down. There couldn't be. Until, Iraq (with the help and encouragement from most of the western countries) attacked Iran and the war began. That was nothing but a gift to the ever weakening regime to use the war as an excuse to crack down on peoples' rights and demands. In short, that war solidified the regime in Iran; other wise the regime would have been long gone by now (I have written about this before).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now similar situation can do the same for the regime. There should be no doubt that religious rights, from all religions, feed each other in the time of need. This is despite their publicly opposing each other: Republicans in the US, Israeli regime and the regime in Iran. They have always helped each other (I have also written about this before). There should be no doubt that, for instance, Israel would love to see Ahmadinejad in power in Iran. This would allow Israel to put more pressure on the Obama's US to be harsher on Iran. Now, the nightmare will happen if Israel used the opportunity to attack Iran's, say, nuclear facilities. This will not kill the regime, but it will allow it to use it, just like what they did with Iraq war, to once agian consolidate their grip on power and crack down on people's rights. This is of course coupled with the unfortunate fact that such an attack can change priorities of many decent people as well and as a result, weaken the movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I am just hoping such an attack does not happen, otherwise, my country's prosperity will be once again delayed and who knows for how long. And then, I for one, will more than ever hate the criminal leaders.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-3220742459794664552?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/3220742459794664552/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=3220742459794664552&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/3220742459794664552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/3220742459794664552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2009/06/iran-is-boiling-beware-of-foreign-gifts.html' title='Iran is boiling!

Where would the world be going if these bastards are not punished? &lt;em&gt;"We need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards," President Obama answered when asked whether he would investigate America's worst human rights abuses since World War II.&lt;/em&gt; That's it? That's all for accountability? Every second in history becomes a past moment after a second. So with this logic of President Obama, every criminal should only survive a second after his crime to become immune from prosecution. With this logic, German Nazis would have had immunity after their defeat in the war. Really! What kind of logic is this Mr. Obama?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If President Obama doesn't want to and/or doesn't have the courage to investigate war crimes committed by the wild dogs of Bush administration, there are other people with courage and/or resolve who are trying to do Mr. Obama's job for him. Spanish prosecutor&lt;em&gt; Baltasar Garzón, the crusading prosecutor who went after General Augusto Pinochet in the '90s, will likely subpoena the Dirty Half Dozen within the next few weeks. "It would have been impossible to structure a legal framework that supported what happened [in Guantánamo]" without Gonzales and his pals," argues the criminal complaint filed in Madrid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the six miscreants ignore their court dates (as they surely will), Spain will issue international arrest warrants enforceable in the 25 countries that are party to European extradition treaties.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I am excited about &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22390.htm"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.

Without agreeing with all of what he said, I see something different in it; something good, something humble, something that has no trace of the typical American arrogance in it and in short something beautiful. If he means what he says, and if he says what means, and most importantly, if he really attempts to act on what he says and if he is allowed to act on what he says, then this may really be a new era for the United States. I offer my sincere hopes and wishes for Obama's said intentions as a whole picture to become reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;....To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.... &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt; This is absolutely beautuful, and if true, Obama will secure at least one person, me, as one of the United States' fans. Let's wait and Let's hope that he really means what he says.

Every year I pledged: Never Again. Remember and Never forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I haven't forgotten. And so to honor that pledge, to honor the memory of my family members who died in those death camps and because "there comes a time when silence is betrayal", today I finally and publicly end my support for the state of Israel......  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;......If they won't bat an eye before keeping millions without electricity or water, before bombing civilian neighborhoods at exactly the time when kids are leaving schools, before breaking every standard of international law or moral decency, Fuck them.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more of "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/12/28/114432/83/489/677860"&gt;A Jew's diary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-6334920342430105701?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/6334920342430105701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=6334920342430105701&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/6334920342430105701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/6334920342430105701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2009/01/voice-of-decent-jew-today-i-end-my.html' title='Voice of a decent Jew: Today I end my support of Israel'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-5795905020905219788</id><published>2009-01-09T00:56:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-09T01:00:05.520-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War Crimes'/><title type='text'>killing teachings</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/assets/images/2009/01/090109_israeilisoldier226.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 170px;" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/assets/images/2009/01/090109_israeilisoldier226.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder what book he, the bastard in the photo, is reading and what is he learning from it; to know how to kill more efficiently?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-5795905020905219788?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/5795905020905219788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=5795905020905219788&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/5795905020905219788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/5795905020905219788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2009/01/killing-teachings.html' title='killing teachings'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-4383431322510564299</id><published>2009-01-08T23:46:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-09T00:08:59.104-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics of war'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War Crimes'/><title type='text'>Fucked up world: when the criminal state is portrayed as the victim</title><content type='html'>....Roughly 765 Palestinians and 13 Israelis, including 10 soldiers, have been killed since Israel began its military assault on Gaza on December 27... . &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/01/08/gaza.security.council/index.html"&gt;CNN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, 13 Israelis including 10 soldiers... .What a "bigger" disaster than what has happened to the Palestinians.

That means 85% of Israelis are less than animals. I wonder what percentage , if any, of these animals suffered the holocaust!!! But if anybody who suffered the horrors of holocaust supports the crimes of the Israeli fascist military against defencless people, then s/he is less than animal, and perhaps deserved what s/he endoured during the holocaust. These animals are only digging their own graves.

As is often the case, U.S. corporate media's presentation of the events leading up to this dramatic escalation in violence have laid the blame for the violence mostly with Hamas, whose rocket attacks on Israel are often cited as the cause for the current Israeli attacks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many media discussions about the events that led to the fighting, emphasis is placed on Hamas' decision in late December to allow a cease-fire agreement with Israel to expire, or the group's failure to adequately suppress rocket attacks into Israel during the cease-fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A USA Today timeline (1/5/09) explained, "In November, the truce frays as Hamas rockets continue to land in Israel, which closes several border crossings and kills militants building tunnels Hamas was using to smuggle weapons and other goods into Gaza." On NBC Nightly News (12/27/08), Martin Fletcher explained that "a six-month truce ended this week and Palestinians fired rockets into Israel, as many as 60 a day. Israeli leaders said enough is enough."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Washington Post editorial (12/28/08) announced that Hamas "invited the conflict by ending a six-month-old ceasefire," while Post columnist Richard Cohen (1/6/09) was much blunter: "It took no genius to see the imminence of war. It takes real stupidity to blame it on Israel."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dallas Morning News (12/30/08) agreed emphatically in an editorial titled, "Blood on Hamas' Hands": "The pictures of the civilian victims of Israeli airstrikes--especially children--are heart-rending. But let's keep straight whose fault this tragedy is: Hamas, the fanatical Islamists who rule Gaza and who have used the land as a launching pad for firing rockets into Israel."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New York Times' December 28 lead declared, "The Israeli Air Force on Saturday launched a massive attack on Hamas targets throughout Gaza in retaliation for the recent heavy rocket fire from the area." The next day, Times reporter Stephen Farrell asked (12/29/08), "Why did Hamas end its six-month cease-fire on December 19?" He argued that the "rejectionist credo" of Hamas made this step all but inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These accounts fail on several grounds. For starters, the cease-fire agreement from June through mid-December was credited by many for ratcheting down the violence--rocket fire into Israel dropped significantly and claimed no Israeli lives during the truce. (Prior to that, rocket and mortar attacks since the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in late 2005 had killed 10 Israelis-theisraelproject.org.) After the cease-fire expired, rocket attacks increased, though no Israelis were killed until after the Israeli attacks were launched; four have been killed since then (Agence France-Presse, 1/6/09).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, as the truce expired, the New York Times published an article (12/19/08) that began with a typical corporate media formulation-- Palestinians are attacking, Israel is retaliating-- before noting that Hamas was "largely successful" in curtailing rocket fire into Israel: "Hamas imposed its will and even imprisoned some of those who were firing rockets. Israeli and United Nations figures show that while more than 300 rockets were fired into Israel in May, 10 to 20 were fired in July, depending on who was counting and whether mortar rounds were included. In August, 10 to 30 were fired, and in September, 5 to 10."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Times article, by Ethan Bronner, noted that what Hamas expected in return from the Israelis never arrived:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the goods shipments, while up some 25 to 30 percent and including a mix of more items, never began to approach what Hamas thought it was going to get: a return to the 500 to 600 truckloads delivered daily before the closing, including appliances, construction materials and other goods essential for life beyond mere survival. Instead, the number of trucks increased to around 90 from around 70.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bronner also added that "Israeli forces continued to attack Hamas and other militants in the West Bank, prompting Palestinian militants in Gaza to fire rockets," which produced Hamas response attacks. The Times continued:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While this back-and-forth did not topple the agreement, Israel's decision in early November to destroy a tunnel Hamas had been digging near the border drove the cycle of violence to a much higher level. Israel says the tunnel could have been dug only for the purpose of trying to seize a soldier, like Cpl. Gilad Shalit, the Israeli held by Hamas for the past two and a half years. Israel's attack on the tunnel killed six Hamas militants, and each side has stepped up attacks since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This straightforward recitation of events is rarely heard in much of the rest of the media coverage of the violence in Gaza--including in the Times, since Israel began its full-scale assault. But for many consumers of U.S. media, history is made irrelevant; a Time magazine piece (1/12/09) began:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two sounds dominate the lives of Israelis living near Gaza: the wail of a siren and, 25 seconds later, the whistling screech of an incoming rocket fired by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. That gives Israeli families just enough time to dive for cover-even as they pray the rocket will miss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 11:30 a.m. on December 27, a new sound filled the azure Mediterranean sky: the rolling boom of Israeli bombs and missiles slamming into Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israeli airstrikes in Gaza are anything but "new," but presenting them as such--and pairing that presentation with an Israeli family sheltered against an incoming Hamas rocket--gives a wildly misleading impression of a conflict where the deaths and suffering are overwhelmingly on the Palestinian side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fair.org"&gt;Fair&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-1813130610177721832?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/1813130610177721832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=1813130610177721832&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/1813130610177721832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/1813130610177721832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2009/01/subscribe-to-fair.html' title='Subscribe to Fair'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-2093984197199132871</id><published>2009-01-05T20:29:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-05T20:35:51.502-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War Crimes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mass murder'/><title type='text'>Spitting on Israel and its supporters</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.heyokamagazine.com/gaza/bambino5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 270px;" src="http://www.heyokamagazine.com/gaza/bambino5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a human being, I will not forgive you Israel.

Even worse, Obama called it the undivided capital of Israel: "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided,". I hope he didn't know what the f*ck he was talking about otherwise, I don't know how to explain his betrayal of humanity for the sake of kissing Israeli ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, last evening another Israeli dog was there making her "loyalty" barks to her masters in Israel. This person was nobody bust the opportunist, and disgusting Hillary Clinton. But I thought Obama was going to be different, but he sure failed to be.

I feel your pain at the innocent lives taken in this warfare.

I too have family who weredisplaced. My grandmother left Poland because of the growing fear of Nazi control. She managed to escape to Israel but her entire family was killed in the Holocaust before they could join her. She never went back to Poland.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;I know that Ashkelon to you is al-Majdal. &lt;u&gt;If the Hebrew names of these cities are not recognised and the Jewish presence in this land not tolerated among the Arabs - how do you conceive that there will be peace with Israel? &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#336666;"&gt;Outside the conflict, I was wondering what English books you like reading? This year, Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, is one of my favourites. I can't decide if Heathcliff is truly a villain! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Best wishes and keep well,&lt;br /&gt;Anav&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;Dear Anav, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;It is pleasure to write to you again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Yes, it is more quiet now in terms of military attacks. &lt;u&gt;Heathcliff is a victim of his tyrannical society, but when he is in power, he becomes a victimiser himself. Do you notice, the victim always becomes the bully when he has control? &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;I don't care where my great-great-great grandparents came from, or when. &lt;u&gt;History is full of migration and the movement of peoples, including yours. After three thousand years living around the world, suddenly you remembered your homeland! &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;You said your family came to Palestine because of the spread of Nazism, to escape the Holocaust. &lt;u&gt;Why should we Palestinians have to pay the price of others' crimes? If the Nazis killed your grandmother's family, why do you kill us in return?&lt;/u&gt; I don't mean you personally of course, but the Israeli state. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;If we had had advanced weaponry... it would have become a war between two nations - with no mention of terrorism &lt;u&gt;How can I accept the existence of a state which has occupied our land for 40 years, an occupation which has resulted in so many Palestinians being killed?&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;On terrorism... why is launching "crude and inexpensive" weaponry on the children of Sderot considered terrorism, when F16s and Mercava tanks killing children inside their homes in Gaza is not?&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;Samar and Samah were two sisters, aged 13 and 23, who were together at home in Gaza when an Israeli shell killed them last month. They weren't resisting anyone. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;I think the term "terrorism" is connected to a level of sophistication in the weapons used. If we had had advanced weaponry, this whole thing would have been managed differently. It would have become a war between two nations - with no mention of terrorism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Another point, &lt;u&gt;what do you call the prevention of food and medical supplies entering the Gaza Strip? Is this not a kind of terrorism? &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;Peace is always possible everywhere if attention is paid to it, and if rights are returned to people who have lost them. &lt;u&gt;I believe in peace, as we are exchanging letters.&lt;/u&gt; I think peace is what makes us human. You, the Jew, and I, the Arab Muslim, are humans, so there is place for peace. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;But can you tell me why Israel closes the borders and prevents people from travelling?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't you think that the international community (the UN) handles the conflict unfairly - and has actually made it worse? Do you see this as a struggle for survival, between me and you? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#993300;"&gt;My favourite English novel is Heart of Darkness for Joseph Conrad. Don't you think, colonialism in all ages has the same ideology? Do you like Shakespeare? Hamlet is one of my favourites.

Perhaps if they had included little squares for each of the casualties of this war, then the resolution of the mosaic would be much higher and it would be more imaginable (for those who are strangers to the concept of numbers) that the number of 4000 US casualties is insignificant compare to the number of dead Iraqis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the progressive Americans are so ignorant at best, and arrogant at worst, can be so racist, then what could be expected from other more ordinary Americans?

In short, this nothing but bullshit from the Israeli fascists. Just looking at the numbers and the proportion of Palestinian to Israeli civilian deaths should be sufficient to realize how these animals are committing crimes against humanity. Having said that, today, a letter published in Toronto Star drew my attention. You know, most letters criticizing Israel, do not get published in most of the media outlets, even Toronto Star which is fairly more &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;balanced&lt;/span&gt; compared to many papers, do not publish many letters, including any of my at least 12 letters in last two weeks. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see the letter that I saw today. The letter nicely sums it up: &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Alan Baker, the Israeli ambassador to Canada, finds that "no reasonable people can be expected to suffer constant, daily barrages of missiles and the deliberate murder of its civilians without the right to defend itself."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does he think that the daily sonic booms and far-deadlier attacks by Apache gunships, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Merkava&lt;/span&gt; tanks, naval vessels and F-16 fighter jets are not "indiscriminate," do not "terrorize a civilian population" and are "not merely illegal and immoral, but ... a violation of the most basic norms and principles of international law"? Does he think they do not constitute "a war crime of the first dimension, going against all accepted norms of civilization"?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current high ratio of Palestinian to Israeli deaths belies the mantra that Israel doesn't target civilians. Israel does target civilians and civilian infrastructure. How else could one explain the deaths of so many children, and the destruction of hospitals, schools and homes?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Defending itself" does not release Israel from its obligation to take all feasible precautions to minimize harm to civilians and civilian property during military operations. Israel has been acting outside the rule of law with impunity for far too long. The illegal occupation of Arab lands, targeted assassinations – effectively acting as prosecutor, judge and jury in a secret process where the death sentence can't be appealed – and collective punishment are all violations of international and humanitarian law. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is ironic that Baker invokes the importance of international law for Palestinians, while seemingly putting Israel high above it. Civilian deaths, be they Israeli or Palestinian, must be condemned with the same vigour; human beings must be treated equally in death as in life. This is the only way to maintain our humanity and that of the victims, and to ensure that a just peace can be achieved.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The letter can be found &lt;a href="http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/326737"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-4510260666641362309?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/4510260666641362309/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=4510260666641362309&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/4510260666641362309'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/4510260666641362309'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2008/03/civilian-deaths-are-indefensible.html' title='Civilian deaths are indefensible by any excuse'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-7178418528366681057</id><published>2008-03-08T15:41:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-08T15:47:37.654-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Women&apos;s Rights'/><title type='text'>Happy 8th of March</title><content type='html'>Happy &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;International Women's Day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.internationalwomensday.com/default.asp"&gt;Also&lt;/a&gt;... .&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-7178418528366681057?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/7178418528366681057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=7178418528366681057&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/7178418528366681057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/7178418528366681057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2008/03/happy-8th-of-march.html' title='Happy 8th of March'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-4426672926023348102</id><published>2008-03-08T15:34:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-08T15:36:12.573-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Human Rights'/><title type='text'>Born Criminal</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/08/bush.torture.ap/index.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Born Criminal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;;

Being in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/span&gt; doing what? I ask! I am sure the Prince kept many of the British soldiers &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;busy&lt;/span&gt; protecting him... . But he had to go there. He had to enable the stupid monarchy to tell the people that "Our loved ones are there too". But he couldn't be there for long after all and there must have been a plan to get him back without damaging the goal of sending him there: "fooling the British". So, what is better than, after few weeks, having stories in the media, "exposing" that he is in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/span&gt;? Now, after this is public, the excuse to bring him back is automatically created: "Now, that this information is public, the enemy will make particular efforts to kidnap the Prince, so, although he "loves" serving his country, although he &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;doesn't&lt;/span&gt; mind being in the war zone and facing the dangers, but not that much danger. The danger now is too much for our Prince and he has to come home".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again media played its dirty role. The goal is now achieved. &lt;a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/03/01/prince.afghanistan1/index.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The boy is home; safe and sound, like a hero&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and the people are fooled. Good planning, isn't it? This can be easily bought but stupids; the same stupids who still, in 21st century, believe in monarchy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-2447440301449295120?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/2447440301449295120/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=2447440301449295120&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/2447440301449295120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/2447440301449295120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2008/03/oh-what-hero.html' title='Oh, what a &quot;hero&quot;'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-6913366560610275856</id><published>2008-03-01T00:05:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-02-29T23:05:16.262-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War Crimes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mass murder'/><title type='text'>Why just Ali and not his American co-criminals?</title><content type='html'>Capital punishment is barbaric; in any shape or form and with any excuse.

Now, they say that they have deleted the photo because "Now" they know that it is a Somali tribal garb, not Islamic. Well, the fact remains that these bastards have all the ill-intentions in their dirty typical undignified US politics, but what if the dress was actually an Islamic dress? So what? What about the US politicians who one by one go to Israel and kiss Israeli butts with the intention of proving to their Israeli &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;masters&lt;/span&gt; how loyal dogs they are to Israel. How about them who, obviously without problems, put on the Jewish hat, whatever it is called!? How come n&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;o one&lt;/span&gt; makes a fuss about that? &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan formally denounced on Thursday the Tennessee Republican Party's use of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Barack&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Obama's&lt;/span&gt; full name in a recent news release questioning the Illinois senator's commitment to Israel.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Now it is clear; more than ever, that the Americans are hostages to the hands of Israeli &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Zionists&lt;/span&gt; and their behind-the-scene directors of the US &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;policies&lt;/span&gt; in the Middle East. It is no secrete that most of the US politicians have no guts to stand up to this bullshit and say enough is enough. That's what, among other things, makes them so pathetic. Now, the result of the US presidency, is determined by "who is most loyal to Israel". It's like saying "fuck the fellow Americans, we have to make sure Tel &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Aviv&lt;/span&gt; is happy and Tel &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Aviv&lt;/span&gt; approves the candidates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To those stupid Americans who don't understand what is happening in their names, I say: "Get a life, you pathetic idiots". To those arrogant Americans, who are sinking in their own shit, I say: "F*ck you". But to those caring and good but powerless Americans who have to suffer while living with the two above ignorant/arrogant groups, I say: "You &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;deserve&lt;/span&gt; better".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-4785326730140044932?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/4785326730140044932/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=4785326730140044932&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/4785326730140044932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/4785326730140044932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2008/02/commitment-to-israel-how-about.html' title='Commitment to Israel?

It was titled "&lt;a href="http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2004/07/where-is-rumsfeld.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is Rumsfeld?"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, a visitor of my blog  has left a comment on the same post and rightfully requested this discussion be revived. Here is the comment: &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I know that the date on this post is quite old, but I'd like to revive the pondering. WHERE IS RUMSFELD? And I'm not speaking "geographically", rather what is he doing, who is he meeting with, etc.&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to revive this conversation because his whereabouts and acts could be a precursor to what happens with Bush, Cheney and other cabinet members.Is there a fear of war crimes among administration members? Which appears to be true based on Bush's push to amend the War Crimes Act. Why has the media forgotten about Rumsfeld? He was a catalyst in our current affairs affecting not only Americans but others around the world. We should be discussing his future, so that we can have a precedent regarding the futures of Bush, Cheney and others. These people should NOT be forgotten, because they highlight for us the people to avoid in the future - who we vote for, and who we don't.PLEASE KEEP TALKING - MAKE THIS NEWS WORTHY.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well! I think this is a very good point as it may have implications on other war criminals of Washington and their future. So, Let's find out "Where Rusmfeld is". Oh, no don't expect to find a lot from the media. They are part of the problem themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks bariloche for the timely request.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5614417-1041680823415886561?l=humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/feeds/1041680823415886561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5614417&amp;postID=1041680823415886561&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/1041680823415886561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5614417/posts/default/1041680823415886561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://humanfirstthenproudiranian.blogspot.com/2008/02/once-again-where-is-rumsfeld.html' title='Once again, Where is Rumsfeld?'/><author><name>Faramin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614417.post-7168143439747799575</id><published>2008-01-24T00:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T01:03:09.404-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics of war'/><title type='text'>Deceieved, but still silent, nation</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;WASHINGTON - A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks..... .&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;... The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period.
