Gaza: The Killing Zone
Israel is using white phosphorous.
Robert Fisk, journalist and Middle East expert said that Israel will be able to flout the UN ceasefire demand as long as the US - the only country to abstain from the 15-member security council vote on the resolution - continues to back Israel.
"It's quite clear from Hillary Clinton [incoming US secretary of state] most recent comments that it [the US backing of Israel] will continue under Barack Obama.
"I see no change, I see no hope at all in the future," Fisk said.

The Devil Said, All Right!
Listen to Jacques Brel's Ca Va Le Diable
"One day the devil came to earth to look after his interests. He saw and he heard all and after he returned to his home below he said: All Right!
......
There are always a few fires lighting up the earth. All Right!
and men amuse themselves like madmen with dangerous games of war...All Right!..."
Trains derail with a crash because boys full of ideals put bombs on the tracks.
That creates new kinds of death, death without confession, confession without forgiveness. Good for me.
......
But in the newspapers everywhere all the bastards have their pictures...
That does harms the honest people and makes dishonest ones laugh. All Right! ha ha ha...
"Jacques Brel impersonates the devil who is pleased with what he finds on earth. Juliette Greco covered what was to be his first hit, kind of a protest song, radical for 1953. This is a shortened version."
Another version of Deshabille moi sang by Mylene Farmer. The original song is by Juliette Greco.
And...Listen also to Jacques Brel's L'Ivrogne
Friend, fill my glass
I'm sick of being myself...

In the dark times
"In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times."
— Bertolt Brecht (Bertolt Brecht: Poems 1913-1956)
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times."
— Bertolt Brecht (Bertolt Brecht: Poems 1913-1956)
The world is silent! Is it really?
Bertolt Brecht in one of his poems says:
"The first time it was reported that our friends were being butchered
there was a cry of horror.
Then a hundred were butchered.
But when a thousand were butchered and there was no end to the butchery,
a blanket of silence spread.
When evil-doing comes like falling rain,
nobody calls out "stop!"
When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard.
The cries, too, fall like rain in summer."
BUT
The world is not silent! The world can not be silent when sees the innocent Palestinians die every moment in a bloodiest war ever... We hear only certain voices in the media:
"This recent outburst of violence was instigated by Hamas — a Palestinian terrorist group supported by Iran and Syria that calls for Israel's destruction," Bush said.
Or:
Bush: Hamas attacks on Israel an 'act of terror'

The Power of Poetry
JOHN LITHGOW, an enthusiastic seeker of poetic experience, speaks about the power of poetry in Bill Moyers Journal.
"To A Poor Old Woman" by William Carlos Williams
munching a plum on
the street a paper bag
of them in her hand
They taste good to her
They taste good
to her. They taste
good to her
You can see it by
the way she gives herself
to the one half
sucked out in her hand
Comforted
a solace of ripe plums
seeming to fill the air
They taste good to her"
JOHN LITHGOW: Feel the pain and desolation of that. And yet, she savors a plum in exactly the same way we savor a plum. You know, we who don't experience anything near the pain she experiences.
