On Friday, June 20, 2008, one could read in The Guardian about a current violation of citizen reights on the one hand, and awful violations of humanr rights on the other hand: Israeli citizens, if the happen to be Palestinians, are forbidden to have their spouse or husband in Israel. The are forced to be set apart. The Palestinian is either barred to enter the Holy country or removed, deported. All this is legal and according the security necessities of Israel.

Forced apart by law.

At the same day, the well know NEUE ZÜRUCHER ZEITUNG reports and speculates about a possible attac of Iran. The wording is carefully selecte and the ambiguous "possibility" is stressed. Any impression, it will be expectable, is avoided. But analysts know, it's only a question of time that Israel will set off onother war. With support and green light from his Big Brother USA and the less open but effective of the European Union and many of its coward governments.

The warnings about such a new war and the dangers for the region have been widely published among minor media which do not reach the masses because they are not main stream. But nobody may say, she or he didn't know. All the pro and con's are publicly available. One would have only to consult some other sources than the common ones.

Today, Saturday June 21, 2008, one finds an article about Israeli "warnings" to Iran by exercising air maneuvers.

The Israeli argument is that the Iranian nuclear power plants are a threat. This claim is stated by a country which doesn't allow any inspection by UN units, doesn't observe any respective UN resolutions and owns nuclear weapons. This is possible because the Big Brother USA holds the strong hand over its ally. The UN is powerless. International law is what the powerful ones, in this case the US, determines. While Israel can publicly warn with a nuclear strike, the "world" is shocked by the rhetoric of Mahmud Ahmadinedschad. Nothing of a shock or real criticism of Israels nuclear weapons and nuclear war threats. Nothing against the perpetuated violations of international law. How anyway, since the Big Brother US violates international law too?

Some desperate fellows seek relief in a kind of Schadenfreude (malicious joy): a nuclear war would effect not only the region but also Europe. Europe would have to pay a terrible high price for its uncritical support of Israel, the warmongers apartheid state.
