The picture shows Israeli Occupation Force arresting a young Palestinian boy and the boy is terrified. look at his jeans...
Israel considers anyone boy or girl over and about the age 12 as adults which is the only place on earth where at this age children are considered as adults.

100 year-old man attacked by Israeli army dog

2009-02-23T18:16:00.000-08:00

In the early morning of February 20th at 2am, Israeli Forces invaded the town of Tamoun, located in the Tubas region of the northern occupied West Bank. Around 50 soldiers in seven jeeps surrounded two houses in the town, firing sound bombs and live ammunition before breaking into the residences.

During the course of the invasion, an army attack dog mauled the face of Salem Fadel Bani Odeh, aged 100 while he lay helpless in his bed. Two men, Na’el Odeh Bani Odeh, aged 23, Muhamad Mustafa Bani Odeh, aged 25, were also arrested by Israeli Occupation Forces. The windows of a nearby parked car were all shot out by army gunfire.

Salem Fadel Bani Odeh awoke to the explosions of sound bombs and live bullets. The door to his home was smashed down by soldiers, who entered the house and ordered everyone outside. But Salem, who is partially paralyzed and bedridden, could not move. As the soldiers searched the house, an army dog leaped up onto his bed and began biting his face and chest. Though nearly ten soldiers were inside the same room, they did nothing to stop the attack, and the dog continued to knaw on Salem’s face. Finally, after more than half an hour, the soldiers stopped the dog and called for an ambulance. Salem was taken to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, where he remains in moderate condition with parts of one ear bitten off and bites on his face, chest and right shoulder.

Where is NATO now?

2009-02-18T09:00:00.000-08:00

Where is NATO now?

I am a Lebanese Canadian –

Lost my wife and four children!

When Israeli military unleashed pre-emptive missiles -

Destroying apartment complex using US fighter jets!

Where is NATO now?

I am an UN Peace Keeper –

Lost my entire battalion!

When Israeli Air Force attacked our shelter -

Ignoring UN warnings and signs, threatening peace mission!

Where is NATO now?

I am a Palestinian parent -

Just lost my child!

When Israeli bullets -

Ripped through the brain, stomach and chest!

Where is NATO now?

I am a Palestinian child -

Just became orphan and homeless!

When Israeli missiles and US-made bulldozers -

Destroyed our home, belongings and assets!

Where is NATO now?

I am a Palestinian farmer -

Just became deceased!

When Israeli military tanks -

Drove over me while olive picking!

Where is NATO now?

Palestine is still an occupied land -

After 38 years of UN, US and NATO diplomacy!

Leaving peace loving Palestanians –

At the mercy of Zionist terrorism for supremacy!

Where is NATO now?

We may not be of strategic Super Power interest -

Neither, we have vast oil reserve for the West!

Our freedom fighters are committed but not the best!

But, we are indigenous human suffering High-Tech Holocaust -

In our ancient land by Israeli military and political aggressors!

The Plea...

2009-02-17T17:50:00.000-08:00

To find me you must stop the noise
Silence the guns and tanks
The shouts of defiance
Screaming and violence
And listen

My voice is very soft
You must try to hear it
You will have to come close
Pick away the the tumbled stones
Carefully, gently

When you find me, lift me up
Help me to breathe
Set my broken limbs
But do not think it is enough
To give me back a fragile existence

I need food and water
I need a home that will last
Health, hope and justice
I need Love

You must embrace me
Take me into your heart...
My name is Peace

The Poem of Love and Revolution

2009-02-07T18:28:00.000-08:00

Ripe Red cold tomatoes at midnight
with salt
Rhythms of Winter outside my door

How I would like to Tango with you…
Rub my feet ontop of yours beneath a yellow
blanket

Let my bare flesh feel the sting of winter
Early morning in October while I surf your lips

Embrace me in the cold of October
Coming to an end before us like a heart-attack

Kiss my embittered lips
Feel the anger inside my jugular veins

There my blood boils
Can you sense it flow?
Warm and Red seeping through
and through

forgotten like an after-thought

They say we can not win
Bedouins of the past
Sultans of the Harem

But we have been ruled for 1400 yrs. by the
Khalifah, Ameer el-Momeneen
One hundred years backward by the Ottoman Majesty

We are ignorant, worthless, impotent, regressive,
and of glory past…

But I say we are strong
Three hundred million can’t you see ?

******************************
Kiss me hard before I fall from the world’s grace
Or from your arms

Did I say I love you in October?

Hear my voice call Revolution
Give me bread, your love, and freedom

Must they exploit us all
for our people to rise like the tide?

Must our tragedy hit every home
before we eat from off of their flesh?

Must we incur a death in every home
A loss, a disability?

Whether from starvation, occupation, or worse
still
loss of dignity?

No
My people are strong
I say…

From Baghdad to Haifa
From Yaffa to Algiers

We are hungry for a future and we are capable we
are strong

Beware we are thousands in the streets
from Morocco to Cairo

We will eat the flesh of our exploiters
We will crush those who occupy us
those who enslave us from within…

We are not a consumer society to be consumed?
A market place for an “Israeli” shopping spree...

We will purge this cancer from within us
Those who sell our future for a Mercedes Benz

Shall meet our young
and Klashinkovs

Those who wholesale us
For a Red carpet and marble Italian homes

When we live in dirt
and they pay for their gambling debts with our
blood

Our homes see no carpets red or other
Our children their skulls the cups of wine
for our oppressors to drink from

Each day we grow
Our dreams are strengthened
by our determination

We are ten strong
We are one hundred strong
We are one thousand strong
We are one million strong
and we grow....

Watch us march on
Our eyes are wide open, hopeful, and clear
Our fists solid waving in the air
Our steps steadfast and forward
our heads proud and raised high

We progress, we evolve, we become victory
embodied
We are from the gulf to the sea
From the sea to the gulf

We have our chains to lose
We have a world to win

Beloved people of Gaza

2009-02-04T18:14:00.000-08:00

Beloved people of Gaza
Treasured people of Palestine
Teachers of courage and dignity
Archetype of humanity

Allow me to kneel down
And wash your feet with my tears
Kiss your blessed hands
And sprinkle your beautiful faces with musk and roses

While we sat pondering like fools
Utterly helpless
Talking much and doing less
Going round and round in circles
Thinking how to help
What to offer you to relief some of your pain

As usual
Full of surprises, you come out to our rescue, to soothe our agony
You present us with the most precious gifts
Lessons in bravery
Steadfastness, patience, perseverance, defiance, resilience
Optimism against all odds
Creativity in the face of utter oblivion

You’ve demonstrated that you are the free ones … we are the captives
You chose resistance over subjugation
You decided not to be enslaved
Not even to superpowers

Would we ever learn from you?
