"He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
"For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses...
"For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever...
"He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
"He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totaly unworth the head of a civilized nation."

Early in the morning of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Irgun (headed by Menachem Begin) and the Stern Gang attacked Deir Yassin, a village with about 750 Palestinian residents. The village lay outside of the area to be assigned by the United Nations to the Jewish State; it had a peaceful reputation. But it was located on high ground in the corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Deir Yassin was slated for occupation under Plan Dalet and the mainstream Jewish defense force, the Haganah, authorized the irregular terrorist forces of the Irgun and the Stern Gang to perform the takeover.

In all over 100 men, women, and children were systematically murdered. Fifty-three orphaned children were literally dumped along the wall of the Old City, where they were found by Miss Hind Husseini and brought behind the American Colony Hotel to her home, which was to become the Dar El-Tifl El-Arabi orphanage.

Part of the struggle for self-determination by Palestinians has been to tell the truth about Palestinians as victims of Zionism. For too long their history has been denied, and this denial has only served to further oppress and deliberately dehumanize Palestinians in Israel, inside the occupied territories, and outside in their diaspora.

Some progress has been made. Westerners now realize that Palestinians, as a people, do exist. And they have come to acknowledge that during the creation of the state of Israel, thousands of Palestinians were killed and over 700,000 were driven or frightened from their homes and lands on which they had lived for centuries.

Those who made a hole for the people locked out of Palestine to enter are my heros... a grand act of defiance and of compassion for those who needed to return home. Viva Palestine.

The suffering and anguish of people unable to return home was finally relieved by people with hearts and guts.

Israeli occupation forces searching for the captured soldier in Gaza!

Look at pic 11 in the gallery. It is a drawing of Israel hunting for her missing soldier......think about it... but don't really laugh... ok?

This hunting method breaks my heart for parents who want their son alive and for every victim of Israel today.
