""I know people will attack me for not taking part in this war when Qassams are falling on my home town (Sderot) and Katyushas on the towns in the north. In my opinion, only this type of opposition that I've chosen will put an end to this madness"
That tactic sure worked for the French during WWII...It really put an end to the German madness.
Great to see that there are great Israelis still out there.
What they are doing takes a hell of a lot of courage.
"That tactic sure worked for the French during WWII...It really put an end to the German madness."
Oh yes, I remember from the history books - the Second World War began when Germany captured two French soldiers and offered to exchange them for German prisoners held in France. Instead, France began bombing Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich into the ground, cutting off all air and sea routes into Germany and killing thousands of German civilians.
That was what happened, wasn't it? You wouldn't be drawing a ludicrous analogy that has no possible relevance to the current situation, would you? Surely not! Israel's defenders have never been anything but honest and upstanding since this conflict began. They certainly haven't turned a blind eye to the deliberate massacre of civilians. No sir...
it is sometimes necessary to look at individual stories in wars
and how small groups of people deal with the subject of war, hence
Nethanyahu:- this story also appeared in the Guardian 2003.
There were claims that he had been tortured or food-deprived, there is
no follow-up and the link to the Guardian article is inaccessible.
Historically, this war is set to continue, reports say that the ground offensive
is to be expanded and that it will continue for thirty days: the Bush regime is
urging care as it is 'concerned at the humanaitarian crisis' (!)
The Irish are saying the same thing, D. Ahern stated that an escalation
on the ground would escalate civilian casualties and endanger the U.N
negotiations. (he hasn't condemned the war).
French Resistance achieved a hell of a lot , but it operated on a cell
structure and only in small groups. They did not represent the French
Nation but people within the nation who opposed the war.

There is an interesting piece on Bush /Sharon/Rantisi in the left hand column also.
These are foundational documents, that show opposition to a war that was years in planning
and part of U.S/UK beligerent foreign policy in the Middle -East is consistently opposed
by conscientous objectors.
