I, Tsilli Goldenberg, Israeli citizen
I Accuse you - Ehud Olmert, Prime Minister of Israel, Amir Peretz, Minister of Defense, Dan Halutz Head of Staff Chief Commander of the Israeli Army, of committing this bestial barbaric slaughter in Lebanon.
I accuse you of committing Crimes against Humanity towards the Palestinian People. I accuse you of deserting our soldiers, when their lives could be saved by negotiations, and I accuse you of starting an unjustified war in my name.
Haniya, Prime-minister of the Palestinian people, was willing to negotiate with us not only the return of P.O.W Gilaad Shalit, but a long term cease fire, that would enable people of Israel and Palestine SECURITY and Sanity. You refused.
Nasrallah was willing to negotiate the return of the soldiers kidnapped in the north. You refused.
Instead you have endangered the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis, you have caused the death of 27 Israelis, [till now], civilians and soldiers,
You have caused the mass murder of more than 350 Lebanese, many of them children, you have caused 500,000 Lebanese to be refugees, and you continue to murder and starve Palestinian children, just because they are living on their land.
The Palestinians are not my enemies, nor are the Lebanese. You, have become my enemy. And I will fight you, and so will many other sane people around the world.

I'm 28 now, and until now i haven't cryed as many
times as i have this past days. Luckly my wife is not
arround to see that.
Im not ashamed to admit it. I saw the picture of a boy
his shirt full of blood with his mother dying beside him.
ahhhhhhh God!...... I think about my little baby, what if
one day that happens to my family, god forbid.
I watch CNN and BBC and compare what they say with what i
see here and other websites....... it is nazi like.
And I can't do anything, I don't know.....I would gladly
pick up arms and fight to protect these people.
My grand parents protected the jews, these animals,these
zionist worms, they took them in their home, shared their
food, and helped them. they put their lifes, and their
children's life in danger, to protect them, little did
they know that these people where worst then nazis,
communists,and any barbarian in all of human history.

Robert Fisk talks to Amy Goodman:
It's a tragedy of immense proportions, because it’s also tearing apart a country. In the last 24 hours we found the Israelis have turned to attacking a milk factory, Liban Lait -- it’s actually the producers of milk I drink every morning in my tea -- a paper box factory, for heaven’s sakes, hardly a terrorist target. We've already seen them smash up the runways of Beirut Airport and destroy part of the -- most of the lighthouse, the new Manara lighthouse, in Beirut. The Israelis today even attacked the factory which imports Procter & Gamble goods here. We've had an ambulance convoy, a convoy of new ambulances from the United Emirates, cross from Syria into Lebanon, got attacked from the air. It's an all-out war against the economy infrastructure of a country that was at last beginning to look modern again, after the 15 years of civil war, which cost 150,000 lives. And it's very sad to see.
I think the massacre of the innocents must obviously apply to both sides. The Israeli dead have an equal right to that claim. But the scale -- I mean, “disproportionate” is not the word for it -- the scale of the response is obscene. Even a small example, I’ll give you. Yesterday, something fell out of the sky over a small area of Beirut called Qurashim [sic]. I think it was part of the wing, the wingtip of an F-16. The Israelis say it’s not, but I think it probably was. And it crashed in a fiery volcano glow and burned trees, bushes, the roadway, and decapitated a young man in his car who was driving home to his family.
I got there in about eight minutes. And there were three very friendly Lebanese soldiers. By chance, I knew one of them, the sergeant, who said, “Mr. Robert, you must be very careful. The Israelis will come back and bomb again, but we’ll take you into the fire and show you as much as we can.” And they stood around me and protected me as we went up the road for about a mile walking -- or running, to be very honest with you, because Mr. Fisk here is not a very brave warrior. And I saw parts of what appears to be a wing. I think it was burning fuel all over the road. I think it came out of whatever the aircraft was. I think what actually happened is a Hezbollah missile probably hit an F-16, and the Israelis didn't want to claim it. They said that it was part of a barrel containing propaganda pamphlets and leaflets, which -- well, I didn't see leaflets anyway, and I know they burn on fuel, but anyway, I saw what I could and got away afterwards and said, you know, waved at the soldiers and thanked them.
And the Israelis did come back some hours later and bombed the barracks of these soldiers, which were members of a logistics unit. Their job was to repair bridges and electrical lines. They weren't combat soldiers. And they killed ten Lebanese soldiers, including the three young men who had protected me the previous day. This was outrageous, because the Israelis know what each individual Lebanese army unit is doing. They know if it's a combat unit, armored personnel carriers, helicopters, whatever.
And they picked on this sole barracks to destroy those
men, to exterminate them, because, of course, their job
was to keep Beirut alive, to keep the power systems
running, to repair the bridges which were being destroyed
-- 46 bridges now, according to Minister of Finance, who
told me this a few hours ago, have been destroyed in
Lebanon. This is the inheritance, of course, of former
prime minister, assassinated prime minister Rafik Hariri,
who was murdered on the 14th of February last year. He
rebuilt this country. He rebuilt the city of Beirut. Now,
bit by bit the bridges, the lighthouse, the international
airport are being destroyed.
I asked tonight the Minister of Finance whether he's
considered suing the major American armaments
manufacturers, who are producing the missiles, who are
killing all of these innocent people here. And he hadn't
thought of it. You know, I mean, most of the missiles
which are landing here are made in Seattle and in Miami,
Florida, by Lockheed Martin or Boeing.

Lebanese/Palestinian/Arab/Muslim/Christians - Kids,
Die with love.
Yours,
Israeli Kids*???
SO ofcourse the complaisant Lisa Goldman, a
"Progressive" and an Israeli blogger gives her
disclaimer and her "profound" observations on
Israeli Protest groups:...
"...And besides, none of those children had seen
images of dead people - either Israeli or Lebanese.
Israeli television doesn't broadcast them, nor do the
newspapers print them. Even when there were suicide
bombings in Israel several times a week for months, none
of the Israeli media published gory photos of dead or
wounded people. It's a red line in Israel. Do not show
dead, bleeding, torn up bodies because the families of
the dead will suffer and children will have nightmares.
And because it is just in bad taste to use suffering for
propaganda purposes." www.ontheface.blogware.com
"And re. the Tel Aviv protest (LEFT) : There was
an anti-war demonstration in Tel Aviv on Sunday evening. Jill
and I went to check it out - out of pure,
journalistic curiosity. The truth is, we didn't expect
anyone to show up. We thought it unlikely that there
would be a peaceful anti-war (and hate free)
demonstration on the day that around 100 missiles fell on
our country, nine people were killed, somewhere between
20 and 30 injured (I've lost count, to be honest) and
Satan Hassan Nasrallah promised more missiles - bigger!
stronger! faster! and longer range too! - in the coming
days. You want war? the turbaned one asked rhetorically
in today's speech, broadcast live on Al Manar. No problem
- war it is.The thing is, Hassan (may I call you Hassan?
I see you so often on television, I feel that I know you)
- No. We do not want war.
And yes, I did see the ultimate ineffectiveness of this
demonstration. But they walked up Chen Boulevard and
chanted:
"No, no to war. Yes, yes to peace."
But then they chanted something a bit odd:
Soldier, listen, it is possible to refuse.
Hmm.... The last time I heard that chant was during the
right wing anti-disengagement demonstrations last summer
(every summer a new crisis, it seems). Those
demonstrators were encouraging soldiers to refuse orders
to evacuate Jewish settlers from Gush Katif; they were
roundly condemned by the political centre and left for
mixing politics with military matters and for encouraging
soldiers to disobey orders. And now these leftist
demonstrators were doing the same thing, but for a
different reason. Which goes back to my pet theory - that
there is not much difference between the extreme left and
the extreme right.
Really, it was rather heartwarming. Some sincere,
goodhearted people stood up while their country was under
siege and got together to say publicly that they hate
killing, but they don't hate the people who live in the
country from which missiles are launched at them. Okay,
there was the nutter who wore a T-shirt with a picture of
Stalin on it (!), but otherwise...normal people.....one
taxi driver who yelled out "homos!" - which
drew a bit of a laugh, because the word is hardly an
insult in ultra liberal, very gay-friendly Tel
Aviv."
