An American priest and a nun joined human shields yesterday at a Palestinian fighter’s home that Israel wanted to destroy, the first foreigners to join a weeklong standoff between Palestinians and the Israeli Air Force.

The pair arrived yesterday morning at the family home of Mohammed Baroud, a fighter involved in rocket attacks on Israel, and said they would stay for several hours.
True American Heroes - protecting life and liberty with their very lives. Yet, according to Human Rights Watch, that makes them human rights violators.
And there's one more thing worth noting in this piece:
For the past week, Palestinian fighters and civilians have crowded into five houses, to bodily thwart Israeli threats to hit them with missiles. The use of human shields is a NEW tactic in the Palestinians’ war against Israel’s mighty military.
Notwithstanding israel's repeated accusations that Hamas and Hizb'Allah use civilians as human shields, no such thing ever happens - EXCEPT, of course, at the hands of israelis during their routine military incursions into the West Bank and Gaza strip, when they use young Palestinian children as human shields as they enter homes and alleyways.
What happened in Beit Hanun a couple of weeks ago and more recently in Jabalaya is more appropriately characterized as people risking their lives in NON-VIOLENT protest against israel's brutal military action.
Not only is there nothing wrong with it, risking your life to fight tyrrany and oppression is nothing short of heroic.





These Catholics are of no consequence, their lives are worth less than a single hair on a Jewish head. One Jewish life is worth more than the lives of all the billions of goyim on the earth.
The lives of all catholics on earth are worth less than one hair on a Jewish head.
Maybe it can start here...Peace on earth. Maybe all the parties involved will awake from their folly. Then again it's been said that I'm dreamer, hopefully not the only one.
The essence of the Torah, as summarized: “What is hateful to you, do not do to others,” reflects the historic experience and ethical consciousness of the Jewish people.
Both this historic experience and ethical consciousness must sensitize all Jews to defend the right of ALL WHO DWELL AMONG THEM - MEANING THEIR NEIGHBORS AND THOSE PALESTINIANS LIVING IN 'ISRAEL'.
“When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not wrong him. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens: you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God” (Lev 19:33-34).
We pray to bring nearer the day for the fulfillment of the prophecy of Zephaniah (3:13), “The remnant of Israel.......
WILL NOT ACT INIQUITOUSLY,
NOR SPEAK FALSELY;
NEITHER SHALL THERE BE FOUND IN THEIR MOUTHS THE TONGUE OF DECEIT,”
......and of Isaiah (Is 2), “When nation will not lift up sword against nation, and no longer train for war.”
A biblical view can’t be anti-Arab and pro-Israel, or anti-Israel and pro-Arab. God’s heart is where justice is.
God’s words to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse” (Gn. 12:3).
However, when Israel strayed from righteousness, God who loved Israel became angry and withheld himself from Israel. In Isaiah God says, “…Ah, sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, offspring who do evil…who have forsaken the Lord…When you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you, even though you make many prayers, I will not listen;YOUR HANDS ARE FULL OF BLOOD.” (Is. 1:4-15).
To restore themselves to his grace, God says the Israelites should “…SEEK JUSTICE, RESCUE THE OPPRESSED…” (Is. 1:17)
At a different time, speaking through Malachi, God says, “Then I will draw near to you for judgment, I will be swift to bear witness against…THOSE WHO OPPRESS THE WIDOW and the ORPHAN, AGAINST THOSE WHO THRUST ASIDE THE ALIEN…” (Mal. 3:5).
It will take the weight of all the world's people to defeat the disgusting evil that is Zionism and organized jewish supremacy.
STAND TALL AND STAND TOGETHER, ALL YOU BRAVE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH. YOUR FAITH AND COURAGE ARE PLEASING TO ALLAH, WHO IS GREAT !
In all the world, there is one statement that has the greatest truth: Goyim are stupid.
At least, the vast majority of you are obviously dumb. No matter if you're Catholic, Muslim, Asian, African or white, you're mostly incredibly stupid and gullible. This proves that we are God's Chosen, because we Jews are of superior intelligence. So few of us, yet we control the billions of goyim - our human livestock - in ways most of you cannot understand.
We ARE special - we are godlike beings, while you are not. God made us in his image, and gave us godlike qualities. But you are just animals He created to serve us.
