In case you missed my earlier announcement, I am in the process of moving all my Weird Stuff posts to a new blog, called Weird Stuff From Everywhere. I will continue to put a Weird Stuff alert whenever I put a new post there. There is a lot of weird stuff in our world and I don't want it to completely take over this blog. I'm afraid Ms. Singhni, my blog header lioness, might take a bite out of me. (I am not being disrespectful toward anyone. A singhni is simply a lady lion, that is, a lioness.)
So, here we go again. Again a WEIRD STUFF ALERT - ISRAEL. This one concerns the treatment of Palestinian children and women by Israeli security forces. I warn you it Is an extremely unpleasant article and you might wish to skip it. However, if you have the courage to face the truth of what is going on in our world, please read it and answer my question there.
And lest I be accused of being antiIsrael and, by some very weird extension, antiSemitic, I have updated the story about the Pakistani American man who beheaded his wife in Buffalo, New York, of all places. Please take time to read that before you accuse me of bias.
I will freely admit to this bias: I feel great sympathy and compassion, perhaps even empathy, toward the civilians of Gaza whom I believe, after much thought, consideration and research, are under a genocidal attack by the State of Israel. Feel free to disagree with me. I will continue to "calls 'em as I sees 'em."
I think I will pass on the Israel article. I have read about that bastard that beheaded his wife though.
ReplyDeleteS. S. ji - That Israel article really grossed me out. Imagine the inhumanity of denying a menstruating woman such a bit of hygiene.
ReplyDeleteShe did make one mistake, though. Never show weakness in front of your enemy. She should have used every bit of self-control she could muster. She should have sucked it up, or at least tried to. Cry at home, not on the battlefield.
