A Giant Leap of Faith?

| Why War In Gaza?
Charles E. Carlson Jul 19, 2010
We will examine why the War for Palestine is no closer to ending now
than it was when it began, 54 years ago, and why the American government
is financing the Israeli side in its brutal path.
The war in Palestine is an American war, just as much as the one in
Afghanistan is. I know this, because I, personally, heard and saw the
American F-16 planes and the missiles made in the U.S. exploding in the
refugee camps, homes, and office buildings of Gaza. It is not necessary
to go to Gaza to understand what is going on there, unless you are a
person who trusts the American media implicitly. There is little reason
for anyone to have doubts about who is beating up on whom.("Why War in Gaza?" was first published Mar 28, 2002.)

| Governments Use Military Personnel to Justify Killing
Charles E. Carlson May 16, 2010
An event at Denver University on May 11, 2010---
Israel, not unlike the USA, uses their military, like Colonel Gruber, to sell the false idea that it is the victim, and is a humane, surgically clean eliminator of "terrorists". The response at Denver University was an encouraging surprise and another sign of a "turning" in our time that is finally beginning to happen in the minds of those who think about what they are being told, especially students.

| Bin Laden and Ariel Sharon Both Dead, on Ice for Different Reasons
Charles E. Carlson Mar 28, 2010
The leaders of our war-based economy find it necessary to hide the natural deaths of both supposed heroes and manufactured villains. They arrange for announcements of death at convenient times to manage history. This brazen feat of propaganda and mind control fools most of the US public, and supports controlled wars from Gaza to Pakistan. The Obama administration is continuing the Bush manhunt for Osama Bin Laden, and its words suggest those who say Bin Laden has been dead for six years are probably correct. . Americans will not flinch at killing humans in Pakistan if we think Bin Laden might be one of them.

Charles E. Carlson Feb 24, 2010
http://whtt.org/index.php?id=431
Life In The Gaza Gulag was first published in April 2002 as part of this author's serial detailing his one man fact finding trip into the Gaza strip. Few are aware Gaza has been a “gulag” for more than a generation, a gulag in the truest sense of the word Alexander Solzhenitsyn made famous in describing the city-prisons of the soviet union in the Stalin years.
Those who enter with human rights and aid groups, including George Galloway's Viva Palestina, are rarely allowed more than a day inside Gaza. They are excluded by Israelis who surround the gulag on all sides, even at sea, and not by local Muslim Arabs, who welcome all guests as an opportunity to air their story.

| Report on Strait Gate Vigil at Hagee's Night to Honor Israel, Phoenix
Editor Nov 03, 2009
WHTT held its sixth Project Strait Gate Vigil at Christians United For Israel's Night To Honor Israel, this time in front of the Phoenix Symphony Hall on Oct. 18, 2009. Participants from We Hold These Truths and friends confronted those in attendance with Biblical and moral challenges to their beliefs.
--Most Christian Zionists, including John Hagee and many attendees, believe that: the modern State of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy; that war is a necessary part of their religion leading to a second conflict in Israel between Jesus himself and the Jewish Pharisees of today; that “born again Christians” are excused by God for bloodshed resulting from the support of Israel's occupation of Palestine and the US government's warring in the Middle East; and that it is a sin for “Christians” to fail to support Israel in every way possible.

Financial Times, London Sep 01, 2010
Jewish settler groups plan to resume building in settlements across the occupied West Bank at 6pm on Wednesday, in defiance of a partial construction moratorium imposed by the government last year.The move was described as a response to the killing of four settlers by Palestinian militants near the West Bank city of Hebron on Tuesday night. But the resumption of construction is also timed to coincide with the launch of direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians in Washington on Wednesday, and is certain to add to the already tense atmosphere ahead of the negotiations.

Oday Shahin, State AZ Press Aug 24, 2010
Beyond the occupation of Palestine since 1967, Israel imposed an unyielding blockade in 2007 meant to cut off the Palestinian-occupied Gaza Strip. Three years have passed, and the blockade has evolved into a man-made humanitarian disaster. In large part, the U.S. government and media have turned a blind eye to the situation. But, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, the blockade violates all standards of international humanitarian laws and must be lifted.
