36 Years of Occupation
The Zionist Rumming Dogs now seek to extend their wall deeper into the West Bank, which they have been illegally, immorally occupying for 36 years. This outrage has created great anger amongst the Arab people, da?
Look at the picture to the left. Arab fedayeen demonstrate, calling for war against the Zionists. With banners calling for destruction of Israel and death of the Jews. Look at the man's face, twisted in rage at the Zionist oppressors. See the hate, the anger. Sad, da? Why is this?
Read Dr. Hanan Ashrawi's description of the Occupation:
On the one hand, the Israeli occupation continues unabated, with a multitude of expressions of direct oppression and authority ranging from military assaults and incursions, to a stifling siege and apartheid-like "separation," to home demolitions and assassinations, to abductions and curfews.Caught in this maze of pervasive oppressive measures, the ordinary Palestinian receives "orders" from the military occupation as to the territorial limits of his/her confinement (defined by military check points and physical barriers within towns, villages, camps, or even neighborhoods) that form the immediate "space" available for movement.
Suffering this for 36 years, is it any surprise that the Arabs hate the Jews? Should the Westerners be surprised that they want to kill the Jews? To drive them out of Palestine? After 36 years, why does this seem so hard for some Americans to understand?
Now, comrades look at this larger (338KB) picture. It shows the context (the whole magazine page) of the central detail you see here. Click on it. Let it load. Look it over. Read the captions.
Yes, Comrades, then you will understand exactly how much of the Arabs' hate stems from 36 years of illegal, immoral occupation.

Comrade Commissar,
What can I, as an ordinary hard-working proletar, who fervently believes in the need to liberate the Palestinian people from the Zionist-Imperialist oppression, do myself?
I would suggest strapping explosives, laden with bits of metal and nails, on to my body. Then I would detonate in the midst of a crowd, hopefully killing someone who is a Zionist-Imperialist oppressor!
Please let me know if my suggestion is in accordance with the official Party line.
Red Front!
Extracted from: Golden Jerusalem at November 12, 2003 07:19 AMThe pic cut off in the middle..can't see the right hand side of it and the print is really small. Any ideas how I fix this?
Extracted from: Serenity at November 12, 2003 11:58 AMYes, that is Windows $&#*%&^! "automatic resizing" feature. Grrr!
Click on the picture. Put your cursor over it for a few seconds (maybe several seconds). Then, in the lower right, a "make it full-size" icon will appear. Click on that icon, and the full picture will over-fill your screen.
As for it being "cut-off" on the right. That was all that would fit on my scanner. So, yes, it is cut off. But the important captions are there.
Say, uh, Commissar? If this is all about 36 years of occupation, how come the picture you linked shows an angry demonstration from May 1967 -- before the West Bank was occupied?
What was that picture of, a bunch of clairvoyants who "saw" 36 years into the future?

Extracted from: The Commissar at November 12, 2003 06:37 PMOops, you're right. Of course when it comes down to believing you or a bunch or evil capitalist facts, the choice is obvious.
Extracted from: McGehee at November 12, 2003 07:56 PMPretty successful little war they had, too, eh Comrade?
