and why doesn't the Obama administration say anything? i mean, didn't Hillary say:
so, it seems odd to me that Israel would lock the following people up, in some cases without even charging them with anything and no trials and i would think this administration that won on 'hope!' and 'change we can believe in!' they would ACT on those words and campaign rhetoric, unless........naw, he couldn't be just as full of shit with that 'i could give a fuck' attitude as the previous boss, could he???
Israel's defenders claim, well when they DO claim anything other than saying they are right but have argued it far too many times before with other people so they refuse to back anything up other than throwing out tired old propaganda claiming all arabs want to murder the jews and drive them into the sea, if only there were some non violent protesters.....i wonder how many of them are sitting in an Israeli prison cell with bullshit charges or no charges at all? i wonder how people can support this violent, repressive apartheid? i wonder if they feel Mandela should be locked back up?
-Mohammad Othman
arrested on September 22, 2009, at the Allenby Bridge crossing, while returning from addressing the Norwegian national pension fund about divestment from Elbit Systems, a major Israeli military contractor. Mohammad has now been held in administrative detention-without charge-for 106 days.
-Abdallah Abu Rahmah
a leader of the weekly nonviolent protests against the Apartheid Wall in Bil'in, was arrested in his home in the early morning hours of December 10, 2009-International Human Rights Day. He has been slapped with a weapons possession charge for collecting empty tear gas canisters shot at him and other peaceful demonstrators by the Israeli army.
-Jamal Juma'
coordinator of the Palestinian Grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, was arrested on December 16 and is being held without charge. On January 4 his administrative detention was extended for a further 3 days. He has now been held for more than 20 days.
finish?? when the fuck are you gonna start!?
"By holding ourselves accountable, we reinforce our moral authority to demand that all governments adhere to obligations under international law; among them, not to torture, arbitrarily detain and persecute dissenters, or engage in political killings. Our government and the international community must counter the pretensions of those who deny or abdicate their responsibilities and hold violators to account."

Maybe because our government did it also? I mean, look at the protesters in the last Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, who were roundly arrested and detained even without doing anything wrong.
Ask Democray Now's Amy Goodman, who also wound up in jail for simply trying to do her job.
It's contagious apparently. Even in a relatively socialist state like Denmark.
I was going to mention Amy Goodman, too. Our own gov't does it!
israel has gaza under siege, they dont' give a fuck about human life.
yeah, there's never a shortage of examples like that...during operation cast lead their orders were everyone is a target, some absurd argument that makes virtually everything and everyone an extension of hamas. i watched a youtube video the other day about a survivor of one of the countless massacres by Israeli's decades ago pretty much having her entire family all the way to grandparents, cousins, uncles....were methodically rounded up and murdered over land.
the sad truth
