What’s up with Egyptians? well they had always been biased towards Africans and ‘dark colored’ skin. The lighter, the more beautiful. Not necessarily blonde, but dark haired and white. Perfect. And now someone caught up with it – the media. Here is a great video report:

مالهم المصريين؟ بيحبوا البيض أو اللى لونهم فاتح حبتين. يعنى مثلا مش ضرورى تبقى بيضة لكن المهم تبقى لونها فاتح. وعلشان كده فيه كريمات تفتيح البشرة. شوفوا الفيديو ده وقولوا لى إيه الموضوع بالضبط؟ ليه المصريين مش بيحبوا اللى لونهم غامق؟ مش حاجة تكسف دى؟

Condi is on a ‘humanitarian mission’ to ISRAEL. what’s her mission? to ask the Israelis to ‘ease’ the ‘humanitarian suffering’ in Gaza. She also refused to say, according to the Washington Times, whether she supported a cease fire. Duh!! she’s waiting for her masters, the Israelis, to tell her whether she should. All she would do is play ‘blame the vicitim’ game: Hamas needs to stop firing rockets.’
Someone named Yaakov Sullivan on Haaretz’s reporting today of what Rice said commented:
what this woman Rice needs to know and understand well is that the game is up. Her president has brought such havoc to the middle East that one has come to understand that if Israel went through with Vilnai`s call for a “shoah” against the residents of Gaza, Rice would say it was caused by Hamas. For the US administration nothing Israel does is less than praiseworthy. I`m sick of it. The state of imbalance is so extreme it is doubtful it can be brought back to equilebrium. Abbas should say that theis time around Rice is persona non grata. Enough, already.
I couldn’t agree more!!
And so, according to Rice, killing – murdering – 117 people in cold blood, is justified.
Rice appeared to be seeking ways to ease Arab anger at Israel’s lethal response to the rocket attacks without limiting Israel’s ability to attack. At the same time, U.S. officials think that calling for a cease-fire might grant status and legitimacy to Hamas, a radical Islamic group that does not accept the existence of Israel.
U.S. and Israeli officials have no contact with Hamas, complicating any possible negotiation with the group. [Washington Post]
Yeah. No contact. Doesn’t THAT in itself show how pathetic the ‘policy’ is? And pray tell me – how does halting murder give legitimacy and status to anyone?
Here are the stats according to Bt’selem:
106 Palestinians were killed between February 27 and march 3. Fifty four of them were civilians who didn’t take part in the fighting, and 25 were under 18,
25 under the age of 18!!! does anyone have any shame????

But then of course, it is only Gaza. Does anybody even care?
Gaza is on fire today. It has been for the past week. Two days ago Matan Vilnai, Israeli deputy
Defense Minister announced that Gaza faces a “holocaust” if home-made rockets do not stop. The ‘civilized world’ which, in my view, no longer applies to the ‘West’ as it used to, but rather applies to the human-rights-oriented world with a conscience, was outraged at the use of the word ‘holocaust’. It wasn’t long ago that Israeli sprayed on the walls in Gaza the words ‘Arabs to the gas chamber!’!!
But since rockets are the excuse to commit genocide, it should be noted that since May 2007, these rockets have killed one single Israeli. This is NOT to condone the rockets. However home-made rockets are certainly no match for the F16s and caterpillars and bulldozers. In addition, nothing justifies collective punishment. Nothing.
And now – more funerals in Gaza. More children murdered. Tamer Abu Shaar and Mohammed El Bourai – only 6 months old – died for no reason. This is not to mention the injured.
The world has gone crazier than it ever was.
But Obama and Clinton had better continue saying they will support ‘their friend Israel’ or else they will not be elected.
