No offence, but don't fence me in......



I know that this is just a small, banal and at times naive blog, where the posts are an expression of my thoughts, when I see injustice done anywhere.
 I appreciate all the readers I have and I would love it, if they sometimes made a comment or gave me feedback on my "layman" views of the world! In that way I would be able to widen my horizon and better myself - Cause I do think, that communication is the the word and the only solution to most problems.... 

How can we even begin to see the end of war, violent conflicts and such on a large scale? When we can't keep peace even with our own neighbours? When people feud over a fence or the shadow of a tree and spend their family fortunes in desperate court cases and the conflict only ends with one of the parties either dying (of old age) or moving away - 

 In New Zealand they have a whole TV-show on warring neighbours!
And in the states they have a whole institution of intermediaries... In Denmark, the problem is growing and the amount of court cases is staggering....

And then we shake our heads in disbelief over warring tribes in Rwanda, DR Congo, Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq  and not least Israel/Palestine - And we make grumbling noises of why can't they make and hold peace? - They are all fighting because of land and fences... (I haven't seen the outcome of the elections in Israel yet - But I'll write on that later)

Today I'll by some flowers for my next door neighbour, to brighten up their cold winter day...

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance - It's the illusion of knowledge"




Last night on the Danish news; I realized that NYT had published a photo of three dead Palestinian babies. And apparently this is one of the first photos depicting the horrors happening in Gaza? The atrocities are happening right now - at this very minute - even if you read this between 12:00 -15:00 - the daily three hours supposed lull in the current and for Israel, so very counterproductive war on Gaza!  
Well; This particular photo had provoked a lot response (and now I can't find it!) 

-I wonder if the land of the brave and the free, really are kept in the dark about most things, happening out here in the real world... And maybe, this is the reason for much of their so-called (By us Europeans - Just tag Dumb Americans-YouTube about this subject) ignorance and the fact that only 7% of Americans posses a passport? That the their precious Democratic system, they would like to see implemented all over the world, specially in "backwards" places like Afghanistan and Iraq is maybe flawed? That the amount of money you have or are able to amass is equal to the power you can excess over the media and the information being spread to the people? That the various, powerful lobbyist groups can push the truth, not only in foreign matters, but also in environmental issues in your own country. And are therefore able to keep not only you, the people but also the legislators in total ignorance as to what the truth really looks like? Ah, well - I suppose this is not news to anyone but me, and even I had been suspecting it for years!

 But after seeing this Video/documentary about the origins of the Palestinian fate and the Israeli occupation from 1947 til present ; Made by Israeli Human rights and American Jews for Peace, interviewing Noam Chomsky and UN's Richard Falk amongst many others.... - I can  
 now clearly see how, the Americans can live happily ever after, without knowing anything at all about the world! -Same goes for the Australians ?

This poses yet another question; How can the US Gov. send young men and women out to war and expect them to willingly give their lives for something, of which they have never been educated or informed about? It's like sending a large group of blind and deaf people to cross the New Jersey turnpike at peak hours - some of them are bound to get hit.








I have now received several written threats and demands for proof of my "accusations" against Israel. +  a few negative comments on the posts about the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank - Some of these "comments" are hilarious, some are a bit weird and some are scary!
The only common denominator is the Anonymity of the sender, which shows me that aggressors like to stay cowardly unnamed and in the shadows... 
I'll will not publish any anonymous comments; positive or negative!
 Oh and by the way; my answer is; 
See the video embedded above!! 

(psst... It's an hour long, proper documentary 
and maybe more comfy to watch on Google video?)


PS As an answer to the one commenter, who protests to my consistently coloring the letters red; But this is on purpose, you see! - Different shades of red = Blood 
- and then only on posts about the Gaza invasion.
Gee... You must have a lot of time on your hands! Go read someone elses Blog, why don't you!- The Internet is crammed with bloggers with views to fit any kind of outlook! - And it's not like I have magical powers and tie you up in front of your screen and make you read mine! (Would be nice though, I am one of those, who'll check my site traffic daily, just to get the ego kick of the day! c",)

When a "Footprint in the sand" becomes a Bootprint on virtual flesh


My comment; - Do people ("Kate") really think that, I would publish such a blatant and in this case quite tasteless and shameful attempt to hustle products?
 And this, on a post/video on the emotional impact the Gaza war has on the children who, with a bit of "luck" actually will survive this overwhelming experience of watching this biblical amount of human sufferings and the cruelties of Man - 
Do they think I'm an idiot?
Well, maybe I am -
 And published they shall be! And shamefully so.....!!!!
