الرسم يشير إلى هتلر في الفراش مع (آن فرانك) وهي الطفلة التي اتخذها اليهود رمزا لمعاناتهم تحت الاضطهاد الألماني، وأبرزوا (مذكراتها) والتي ترجمت الى لغات العالم وأنفقت الملايين من الدولارات على معارض أوروبية لتخليد ذكراها والتعليق على الكاريكاتير.. يقول فيه هتلر للفتاة: ـ لا تنسي أن تكتبي هذه الليلة في مذكراتك! (في اشارة الى أنها مذكرات ملفقة لا أساس لها من الصحة).

الكاريكاتير يهزأ بعدد اليهود الذين قتلو حيث يمثل الذين قاموا بحسبة عدد الأموات، فتقول إحدى الشخصيتين عن مجموعة من الأموات في "معسكر أوزويتش" الذي تم إعدام عدد كبير البولنديين والإيطالين فيه على يد هتلر بأنه لا يظن بأنهم يهود! فيرد عليه الآخر قائلا: يجب أن نصل إلى 6000000 بأي طريقة.!

Solutions to the Israeli-Palestine crisis in the Middle East by M. T. Al-Mansouri,Ph.D.

Posted by M.T. Al-Mansouri, Ph.D. on September 4, 2009 at 6:04pm

There is a proverb says who hasn't mind, has rest. Arabian and Islamic past and present are so painful, blackened, inequitable and leading to worse future that has a devastated effect compared with our circumstances now as an Arabic or Islamic nation. This is due to negative intellectual inheritance of the eastern entity which can be easily controlled by the intrinsic and extrinsic communities. These communities utilize the environment of confliction and battles to provide their systems with power, wealth and authority to control the fate of people. Before I start looking up to the future and transferring my vision to readers, I want to give an overall view about the actual state of the Arabs, Moslems and Eastern. There are countries have civil war and bad relationship with neighboring countries and the whole world as Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, Palestine, Algeria and Pakistan. And there is armed civil war about to explode in some countries as Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Djibouti, independent Islamic countries of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in addition to eastern south Asian countries except Malaysia. This is because insensitivity to the national interest and patriotism, absence of justice and social system, detaching from their origin and reality, plus replacing their mind, soul and emotions. The third type is the latent and apparently peaceful countries which able to explode at any moment, such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunis, that is because the same previous reasons but the danger level is reduced or controlled by finance means or by equalizing temporary international relations which is based on benefits. While Iran and Syria are regional and global aimed, the poisoned arrows are aimed to them to destroy their resistant bodies. They are in attack and retreat state, everything can disassemble and explode for social and economic reasons. There are also stable countries working for structure and development. They are Qatar, Oman, and United Arab Emirates and now Libya but it will be burnt by the flame of surroundings for interior and exterior reasons. Because each country, community and human has a privacy so let me display the future of some Arab countries like Palestine, Iraq and Yemen to readers and thinkers who are interested in Arab and Islamic public affairs especially the politics. Palestine's Future: Crimes, carnages, the past and the present misfortunes will continue for long coming decades. There is nothing will change except the tools, means, tactics and strategies of the occupier enemy and his helpers in Arab, Islamic and the world environment to enforce it and ensure its intention continuity. The Palestinian side is cracked and exposed to completely denudation process and erosion. The beginning point for searching about self-determination is practically missed and we are theoretically differing. As the proverb says "If the man run to catch two rabbits, he will not hunt any", so the Palestinian ,leaders and followers, are running to hunt hundreds of escaped and dodged rabbits in a wide desert which is full of more and more of snakes and serpents. Israel became stronger and will continue its aggression, occupation and its horizontal and vertical expansion in land, mind and the abroad too. For example the first generation came to Palestine while and after its violation because of believing in religious legends or seeking money, helps and other benefits. This generation stood and succeeded and didn't immigrate to other countries except a few emigrated for being an active and supported member to their community. The generation who was born in Palestine (Israel) has psychological, spiritual and physical relations so that it is hard to extract them from their environment where they brought up, because there is a strong relation between the human and his environment. With these facts, the Arab views and ideas say that the time will force the Zionists to go back from where they come, this example is explaining that the Zionists who violate Palestine have a further viewpoint in planning and make it as a reality by all means. The time, rules and other basis are continuously changing and playing an important role for their sake. In the other side we see the Palestinian inside and outside are separated, they also have uncounted dissentions such as personal impulsions, benefits and advantages. Palestinians are also in a continuous battle for trivial reasons. The Arab countries are exploited Palestinian issue to escape from their internal problems, the side of world who help the Zionism and Zionists themselves want to distance the Palestinian refugees and emigrants from Lebanon because it is so near to Palestine and they also want to extirpate the first generation of Palestinian so the other generations will automatically be extirpated. The refugees are in different places in the Arab surroundings where the Arab governments exploited and persecuted them such as the past Iraqi government as it was imperious, oppressive and malicious; the Libyan government was very cautious and ignorant with the Palestinian issue, and also the other governments for the same reasons. All of the refugees are controlled by regional and global unfair hands. So that I affirmed that the future is black and awful, Palestine is being swabbed and erased from the human memory, means, materials and documents. In the near future Al-Aqsa Mosque will be destroyed, the actions of destroying has begun from a long distance of time by killing the jealousy and defense of it. All these processes will be continued until building the Solomon temple instead of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israel will be more powerful in the militarism and technology because it has new projects to develop military manufacture, in unknown future it will be invisible war, they will use invisible army and weapons by the Nanotechnology. It is a new technology, measured by nanometer, where one micrometer equals 1000 nanometers, and every one millimeter equals million nanometers. By Nanotechnology a space ship could be made in an atomic size, it could sail in the human body to make a surgery then goes out without any external surgery. It also could be used in electromagnetic waves industries, if these waves touched any body; make it disappear such as a plane or a car, so the radar couldn't see or record it. This technology can manufacture a car as a bug size and a plane as a mosquito size, and also cells to be stronger 200 times than the blood cells, if the human was injected with 10% of his blood by these cells, he can run for 15 minutes without breathing and many other things. The Palestinian government and the project of sinuses country (Gaza and west bank) will finish in the future then we will see increasing in building the walls, barriers, different civilizations, more killing, wars and also Palestinian gaps. Even if the history says that Palestine will come back and the truth will appear but I want to inform the Palestinian, Arab people and Muslims that this truth may fall if they haven't start the right step in for a long time. But there is no acceptable and good result without pain, and there is no sweet without fire, so I see that the solution is in a new war between Arab and Israel in the present, this the only solution for this problem and also for the all regional, national and futurism problems. The war should be started by the Arab for a long time and because of the population, geography and resources, the Arab will win. The war will not erase Israel but it will be transferred to submission stage to confess the Arab and national rights, and will normally set to discuss and do exactly the international agreements in its right time and place. This war will make Arab respect themselves and to be respected from the world view, they will be free from the goner and dramatic state which they are living in. They will inherit this vector to the next generations, and then will transfer to the honor, creativity and right unity stage.

Russian firm peddled fake Jewish identities- over 900,000 fake Russian Jews in Israel since 2001- what if the facists from East Berlin took over Isreal

Posted by Ron Angell on September 4, 2009 at 5:28pm

Remember that Stalin and the Czar hated Jews. Remember that Russia was at war with Muslim Afghanastan for 30 years prior to the USA being there. Who stands to gain from Unpeace in Israel? Communists and fascists do not care who is murdered, or organ harvested.What if Russian fake jews stapped bombs to Palastinians and at forced gunpoint made then run and blow up busses and create terrorism?Please also Understand that Stalin murdered over 100,000,000 people and some accounts say 250,000,000Also keep in mind that Russia was attacking Afghanastan for thirty years until they ran out of men. And then GoogleRussian Woodpecker Global Mind controlWho stands to gain from the USA in Afganastan, Iraq, and Iran?Russia gains- because they are close to those countries and have treaties for the oil rights in Iraq and Iran

Dear Dr. P,

Make sure you go down to part that says there is an estimated 900,000 fake Russian Jews...

Couple this with The RUSSIAN Woodpecker Global mind control and you have something that is very sinister in purpose.

I do believe that Russian organized crime may have obtained routing numbers to the US money that was flowing to Israel an building further the Russian Woodpecker mind control even further- Using Capitalist money to build a communist control system that we are very much living in today

At the time these fake russian jews began to immigrate to Israel we see a rise in terrorism.. then a build up of walls very similar to the wall in Berlin separating East Berlin from West Berlin

Best Regards,

Ron Angell

A racket has been uncovered in which gentile Russians were made to seem Jewish so they could emigrate to Israel.
A racket has been uncovered in which gentile Russians were made to seem Jewish so they could emigrate to Israel.
Police have arrested two managers of a company in St Petersburg and accused them of fabricating evidence of Jewishidentity for fees up to £2,500.
Tamara Timofeeva and Eric Suomalinen allegedly devised a series of ingeniousploys in order to establish the Jewish background of their customers.
As soon as the first payment was received, staff from the company, Vesta,would start to teach potential emigrants about Jewish religioustraditions, customs and manners. For an additional fee the clients weretaught to speak Russian with a Jewish accent.
The next phase of the process was the creation of documents supporting theclaims of the emigrant. These ranged from a certificate from passportoffices to a birth certificate.
Staff from Vesta searched cemeteries in St Petersburg for well-kept graves ofJewish women. When one was located, the client and his family weretaken to the cemetery in appropriately sombre clothes and a video wasmade of them grieving at the supposed grave of their relative.
Vesta allegedly specialised in manufacturing evidence that its clients' liveswere under threat, by supplying them with anti-Semitic letters. Thesewould say: "Jews, go to Israel," or: "Suitcase, railway station,Israel."
The client would take these to the police and ask for a certificate saying that such threats had beenmade. This would be added to the file the potential emigrant submittedto the Israeli consulate.
The forged documents, threatening letters and photographs "worked without fail" says the daily Vremya Novostei.
It is not known how many Russians made their way to Israel thanks toVesta. The police say they know of 15 families. The exposure will fuelsuspicions in Israel that a decreasing number of arrivals from Russiahave Jewish connections.
Almost 900,000 people emigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union between 1988 and 2000on top of 135,000 who had come to Israel in the Soviet period. Some50,000 emigrated last year, of whom 19,000 were Russian and 20,000Ukrainian.
Fabrication of a Jewish background is made easier by the fact that nobody knows how many Jews there werein the Soviet Union. The official figure is about a million, but YaronGamburg, the press attache at the Israeli embassy in Moscow, says thisis found to be an under-estimate because so many Jews "had hidden theirnational identity to avoid discrimination".
Jews and non-Jews frequently intermarried. The number of Jews still inRussia is estimated to be between 650,000 and a million, with a totalof 1.5 million in the former Soviet Union.

Here's a few twigs of the poetree, c'est moi, pour vous

Posted by reality on September 4, 2009 at 11:02am

Good Poetree month to all, Write on. For all you do and don't, here's a few twigs of the poetree, c'est moi, pour vous :)a longest dayOn World Refugee Day we heard, saw, read, said, studies, events, reports testifying to the facts that since '03 the # is up 21 %, mostly in Afghanistan (was the # 3 largest narco-state before the war, under usa supervision it's become # 1), Iraq, countries we've war torn to shreds, Somalia, which we occasionally bomb, attack, and Sudan; millions premeditatedly mass-murdered by the corporate structure's determining all global to national systems are based on scarcity, instead of abundance. This while, sadly, 5-07, was the deadliest month for usa troops, yet. A dozen Iraqis die from the war an hour. "We're loosing a battalion a month", reports a top General. Out of every 5 killed by coalition forces, 1 is a civilian; when they figure this war, if it ends in 2 years, will cost us 2 trillion, they're not figuring in war reparations, a minimum for the genocide we've caused. Meanwhile, the autocrats who rule almost all Middle Eastern countries, many of whom bought the usa military as their personal mercenary force to mass-murder their middle to lower class people into submission in the future, from the Bushes, are getting skittish because it seems the republican conspiracy can't engineer the Iraq war into an unending one successfully, let alone the global unending supposed Christian crusading war they hoped for. Although, Bush did say, "the war in Iraq may last over 50 years, like in Korea", the other day. You must already know what they're pre-imperial election continual refrains will be, "we're turning the corner", "victory is at hand", "don't be a defeatocrat", "the end's 'round the bend", "we're winning", "6 months more to success", "victory is around the corner", "just 1 more surge", etc.; being that you've heard it all before, for the last 4 years. They think they legitimize the remocrat conspiracy, as they have the corporate structure's convolution, while that organized conglomeration of enumerable crime families and conspiracies, not only devolves all, it determines extermination of humanity and dictates the extinction of large mammals and human beings, but, they can't; they just confess to being fascist collaborators, without whom fascists couldn't do all they do, and don't all they don't. As well, if they think the false legitimization of unending, unnecessary war in Iraq, will legitimize, and be successfully engineered into, unnecessary global uber unending supposed Christian crusading war, just because the Bushes contracted that it would with the Middle Eastern countries autocrats, you've got another thing coming; namely, presidential and congressional elections. They say cliche, take back the night, when we never had the day; each one teach one, when we had to be real to reach one, first; closing the economic gap, when that chasm is demanded by scarcity being the basis for systems, undoing nature's abundance, et al. Why, 'cause the knew catch word is real, so they sound it, mimic it, pretend to be, when all they're doing is fashioning the next phase in what they project to be their realism show, schism in reality. While most supposed Christians are more like Satan worshippers than Christians, in their religious practices, actually, so too, all supposed are anti: scientists, artists, politicians (without dempublicans collaboration remocrats wouldn't rule; without socialists collaboration totalitarians wouldn't rule the left; independents, more republican conspiratorial than most in their pushing bipartisanship like a drug), academes, and most other religious practitioners. Why are republican conspiracies' pitbulls, like Coulter, who just suggested "Edwards should be attacked by terrorists", turning rabid, chanting their mantra, "white water", like it's the best rapids and they're extreme sports fanatics, while the only white foam we're seeing is from their mouths, 'cause, here and now, they see a 'tunity, with this impending imperial election, to destroy any remnant of democracy in the united suck of assassins. The duopoly devolving into the duopolar axi of republican and totalitarian conspiracies, continually; whose powers increasingly dictate the extinction of human beings, large mammals, through the extermination of humanity. This day, at sun's height, still, Happy Rhodes lyric, "There's a beacon in the sky meant to catch your eye", a point to uplift our visions, and solar energy, aren't. So, nihlistic narcissism, vampirism, cannibalism as sociological process; machinelike rote, sociological programmed memory, regurgitation as education; non-spiritual conformity to process, empty rites as religious study, life; organized conspiratorial crime as business, medicine, healthcare, science, art, which has determined people devolve into extremist automatons, addicted to much, yet, at least, to consumerism, loyal parts in "la machine", conspirators on a scale between corporate agent to assassin for the empire, almost all corporate agents, and, increasingly, supposed Christian assassins; unsustainable earth murder (the largest tool for supposedly garnering increasing delusional profits and pleasures in, increasingly, cyclical, centralizing patterns); extinction of species at a rate not seen since the last ice age ensued (including bees, butterflies, without which nothing is pollinated, nor grows); unending, they hope, unnecessary war (the second largest tool...) in Iraq, which will lead to, they hope, unnecessary global uber unending supposed Christian crusading war (a necessitated precursor to the militarization of the world to enforce the extinction processes and murder all people who, finally, stand against the extermination of humanity by destruction of ecosystems permanently altering weather cycles, which exponentially increases the number and severity of all supposedly natural disasters, and war) and the end of all democratic processes, everywhere. Delusional profits and pleasures, for, the destroying of eco-systems stops their creation of our food, water, oxygen, which will cost humanity astronomically more to produce, in the future, than the limited short term profits their destruction seems to garner, now. Still, "we, the people..." suffer the GOP's criminal insanity, thousands dying from unnatural disasters, our forests going up in smoke, a battalion being lost a month; trillions to unnecessary war, no more for the poor, elderly, kids, college students, handicapped, homeless, homeowners, disabled, ill, small and organic farmers, small business owners, etc.; no amnesty for 12 million of our best (before borders bolstered), no national conversations on racial and religious profiling, national healthcare, teaching as opposed to preaching vacuous lies, global warming, the evolution, life; as their direction is devolutionary and death. Meanwhile, supposedly, Jesus, in most hearts, everyone's friend, walks again. What would he say about the millions murdered in his name, his preacher in chief, Bush, purposely not preventing the attacks on 9-11, this supposed Christian gov't purposely: not preventing unnatural disasters like New Orleans levees, which broke under the pressure of no repairs; reporting studies showing "acts of terrorism down", before the '04 elections, and after the election, they "made an oopsy, it's actually up"; reporting studies showing "poverty is down", before the '06 elections, and after it, "it's up, they were off by 40 %"; foreclosures, homelessness, poverty up, to highest level since before the '29 crash? About the corporate structure's war against the middle class to poor, the riches' ravaging of humanity and earth, while unabashedly giving themselves an "unending tax breaks" during "unending war"? Many crusades, and 100,000's of Islamic men, women and children savaged, later, the supposed Christian, crusaders assassinating with their crosses, knew nothing of Isa until he, the most merciful, Muhammed, forgave them the unforgivable, and they fled the Holy land, to crusade no more; 'til now. Not as then, the crosses they bore to behead children, bear them now, they pray and say they're martyred as they did then, grace bandied about like crusaders give out candy, knowing nothing of Isa, or him. They will leave or die 'til they do, today, as it was a millennium ago, Islam is gathering, as well. For, the intellect can't lead, as the life doesn't follow, so too, clarity is a sword that cuts all ways, without, as there is no cutting, and a pointless point. The Sword of Islam, always, and in all ways, knows. Will "we,..." go the way of the dodo bird, just another species we devolved to extinction, unlike ants and roaches, being evolutionarily superior to us, as they can't choose to be extinct like we did; or, will we rise to take back the day?normalI don't suffer, or, suffer from,Eurocentrism, northern malaise,Nor, academia; a blood disease.C'est La UnvieA million monarchs lie dead, though,No less sociological programming ofUpper-middle to rich classes withDecadence, affluence, inclusion, is.No less societal determination ofMiddle to lower, being excluded byDivision and conquering, privation.Yet, they, on wing no more, still flyIn our spirit's eye, heal humanities'Heart. While their silent cry echoesThe 33,000 species extinct each year,A rate not seen since the last ice ageEnsued; does it move you?Does your curiosity ask why?Will you, on this 33rd Earth Day, allowA tear for all life's fallen?

As their psychic abominationbreathes my life, again they refrain, "she rideson your back", I Beren be, on paths untold,On Elbereth, of old. They mock, and harkingboast, as they've already drunk many a toastto what is man's, woman's death, entombed,in-crested by their seal, their ghastly host.False-ego, the answer to their opening joke,their precious just a parlance for,what you grasp possesses you. "Though,if there's no possession, how could this betrue?" The body, phenomena too, ofelements and to elements goes.

Nor, of spirit, the whole.Grimace, they fear undermining life's fabric,the evolution, will be more arduous thanundoing a thread. I liken their mask to EricFromm's admonition, "people tend to escapefrom freedom to familiar forms of authority."What of the fullest reach of life, beingourselves to be? There, they fade, "FromWhence..., To Wither", they go, shadow.For, now Socrates entreats them with, "theunexamined life's not worth living". Defyingthe tacit assumptions of their convolution,like, winner, loser, predator, prey, sides,the most fit instead of those that fit mostto reality. Why, you ask, do they substituteslogans for being? 'Cause, "the introspectivelife takes more courage than soldiering." Stillossifying, the corporate machine continues toshape the world in its own adolescent,patriarchal, oligarchic image, as it has God.Here, hear, off in the distance, hearts tattoo,Cornel West's "Socratic, prophetic, broughttogether blues." For, it's old news that "we'vehardly any rights, and liberties left. Justsounding brass, tinkling cymbals." Reigningon humanities' parade. You see, we've notexercised our responsibility, so, its Siamesesister, freedom, has withered as well.

Why has it always been that human beingsWho be more so, have had to be exiles inTheir own lands? This time, more than any otherBefore, beckons all life to be most vividly that.As long as I can, walking the road in the world,Which is the unwinding path within,Will enlighten; as it does.Listening to a song sung and un, without words andNature's sing me, I'm naught, but, it's echo andThe mountain which does not rise as that eagle'sTalon leaves a rock perched in its eyre, I,At the top. Singing, this voiceless rock that isn't,Resounds a universe's song, which leaving asA talon did, is felt sky bound, for, it ever plays on.Now, a galactic wind weaves me through thatStormless storm, on this unspeck of dust, to here.Being filled with this songs silences,I'm reminded of where our mundane life andThe unseen are one.

The life knows criminal insanity guards notHumanity, or anything else. Rather, it devolves it toNon-existence. For, morality isn't its contradiction.Being humane, alive, isn't an exercise in theoreticalPhilosophy, where tautologically, anything can "be".Because the inmates have been running the asylumFor too long, "we" can't afford to be mesmerized byTheir mechanistic play; they fabricate as life.No matter how much their smoke and mirrors,Song and dance, forcibly fill our populaces eyes,We can still teach destruction and murder are of noReal value; and the delusion of sides doesn't exist!Though, they insist, "those disagreeing are terrorists,If you're not premeditatedly mass-murdering them,You are them and should be murdered".

Have we allowed the exigency ofThe Cartesian based definition of time to determine usTo be automatons? Why allow Isaac's and Ishmael'sPeacing and warring on each other to determine theNecessity of the extremism of war; and the muting ofShakespeare's "relations make music of the spheres"?Can't we, as Illich relates, "de-school society",Before avarice determines it's too late?Do we just fall behind in trying times, or allowPotentia space to realize growth by struggling,Relating, thinking, emoting, more, not less?

Question unnatural selection.Know, as Howard Zinn, "media, artists are determining people get in line around thePerimeter of gov't power, yet, it's their job to transcend that". Remember I.F. Stone'sTwo words, "gov'ts lie". Think out of the ass. As artists, how else can we address theElements of war, by the struggling with supposed paradoxes as actuating artistic process,Individuation, through creation of art. The artist transcends mundane and worldlySociety, by envisioning perspectives, subjects, mediums, styles, outside their framework,Allows a looking glass in which the world, individual, and reality are reflected.The devolutionary mantra, "you've got to be professional", is the most repetitive of theirCodes. That's all it takes for people to justify, self censor, limit, not question, allowing allOther, their piece of the rock too; everyone in for a penny, in for a pound, decay bound.Yet, it's necessary for artists to inspire paradigms in which others can struggle withSocieties mechanistic mold of professional; worn like a mask, whatever, is done behind it.Thereby, facilitating feeling, views, discernments and questioning of exigencies, et al.Keep in mind Mark Twain's, "patriotism is loyalty to country, not its institutions",Emma Goldman's, "... is love of country, not gov't", and Arthur Miller's, "... isIndifferently bestowing custody of their country to state depts.". Dumbing down most.One of wars elements is one of the corporation's convolution's roots, greed.

Leonard Peltier reminds us that "the innocent pay the highest price forInjustice", and "the corrupt hate them". What else can we all do, not be a link in the chainOf murder, actuate potential, own responsibilities, including civic, and teach anyone.If you don't exercise responsibility, its siamese twinsister, freedom, will wither, as well.Berrigan wrote, "cause is the heart's beat, the children born, the risen bread".Peltier, "we're all related, all one".

AsElton John sings, "it's funny how one insect candamage so much grain", you ask how humanity,a nexus of 35 billion years of the evolution, wasundone: with 400 years of supposed: science,religion, which are naught, but, denominationsof their lowest common denominator cult:greed, war: mammon and mollock, their maritalbed, Gaia's half dead hide, raped by divide,conquered with survive; and lies.Corporate conspiracies' convolution's socio-logically programmed determinism defined by:destruction and murder are power; there's notruth nor reality, only: winners, losers; prey,predators; users, used; professionals are tools;feelings are for fools; humanities' extinction isinevitable and racing towards it will keep itsmanagement fueling the oligarchies' rule, evenwhile billions are murdered, by not allowinghumanity enough time to defend; etc.; are thedelusional mental cells, made up of delusionalconstructs like: materialism, built withdelusional bricks like: possession, using,which they live in and want you to; don't exist.This pen's unending point, though pointless, ablade of grass uncut and uncutting, realities'rapier, allows those projected hells whilebreaking them up with Happy Rhodes' lyrics,"there's a beacon in the sky meant to catch youreye", and "words weren't meant for cowards";so, "we" can begin again, learning: feelings arepower and the basis of all thought and action;survival unwinds alival; exigency dispenses withhumanity; their scarcity based economic systembuilt on non-renewable fuels and earth-murder,they mean to undo abundance with, will; oilslavery must be abolished; all the unnaturaldeath and disasters they've planned for theirdelusional profit and pleasure can be stopped.The nuclear age they want to raise fromthe dead to fuel their supposed Christianblitzkrieg doesn't have to be borne again;their "unending war" only manufacturesmore terrorists, rogue states, necessitatingitself.

الأمم المتحدة: نازحو حرب صعدة ربما يتجهون إلى السعودية

Posted by M.T. Al-Mansouri, Ph.D. on September 3, 2009 at 6:36am

قال مسئول مساعدات رفيع بالأمم المتحدة إن القتال الذي أجبر عشرات الآلاف من اليمنيين على النزوح عن منازلهم في شمال اليمن قد يدفعهم لعبور الحدود إلى السعودية. وقال جون هولمز منسق الشؤون الإنسانية بالأمم المتحدة الذي طالب بمساعدات قيمتها 23.5 مليون دولار لليمن إن الحرب تسببت في نزوح 55 ألف شخص عن منازلهم منذ بداية يوليو تموز. وكان 95 ألف يمني قد نزحوا عن ديارهم بالفعل جراء جولات سابقة من القتال بين الحكومة والجماعات المتمردة ولم يتفق الجانبان حتى الآن على وقف اطلاق النار أو فتح ممر امن تمر منه المساعدات الانسانية. وحذر هولمز من أنه بدون مساعدات عاجلة ربما يحاول النازحون اليائسون الذين تشتتوا في المنطقة الصحراوية مغادرة البلاد. وقال "المنطقة مجاورة تماما للحدود السعودية لذا فهناك إمكانية أن يعبر البعض هذه الحدود" وأشار إلى أن المملكة الغنية بالنفط لم تشهد مثل هذا التدفق حتى الان لكنه يبقى "احتمالا ممكنا". وقال هولمز إن المشكلة في شمال اليمن لا يبدو أنها أدت إلى إحجام الصوماليين عن محاولة الوصول إلى جنوب البلاد على سفن تهريب المهاجرين عبر خليج عدن. وقال "على حد علمي فلا رابط بين الأمرين." وقال برنامج الاغذية العالمي ومنظمة الصحة العالمية والمفوض السامي لشؤون اللاجئين بالأمم المتحدة إن المحاصرين جراء القتال في مدينة صعدة في حاجة ماسة للطعام والمياه والرعاية الطبية. المصدر : رويترز

Uncommon sense :) from pithe to folk wisdom

Posted by reality on September 2, 2009 at 7:44am

For, if, for no other reason, the beauteous writing, prosaic or poetic, of many of our most revered and cherished works are at once literary gems and wisdom, of mundane to mystical, is it not this truth they all have in common; and, therefore, all of humanity shares in common? Where to start, Rumi, Milarepa, Thomas Merton's translations, especially of Chuang-Tzu, the Sermon on the Mount, et al, are so inspiring and lyrical, that we could surely believe they weren't penned by mortal hand. Here's a few less commonly cited :)"If there was something in the airIf there was something in the windIf there was something in the trees or bushesThat could be pronounced and once was overheard by animals,Let this Sacred Knowledge be returned to us again.Artharvaveda (VII, 66) as quoted in Entering the Circle""Discipline is the art of feeling awe.Carlos Castenenda""Do not rush to answers, let the questions be questions until the answers are revealed.Martha Graham""To walk in seasons is to question,A flower is opening.Basho"And, if I may be so bold, one of mine:claritySword that cuts all ways,Without, for, there's no cutting;And a pointless point.jmn"Then a cloud passed, and the pool was empty....Go, go, go, said the bird, human kindCannot bear very much reality.And yet there is that other dimension altogetherin the very fact of consciousness itself:To be conscious is not to be in time.... Except for the point, the still point,There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.I can only say, there we have been: but I cannot say where,And I cannot say, how long, for that is to place it in time.I will say to my soul, Be still, and let the dark come upon you,Which shall be the darkness of God.The inner freedom from the practical desire,The release from action and suffering, release from the innerAnd outer compulsion, yet surroundedBy a grace of sense, a white light still and moving ...And what the dead had no speech for, when living,They can tell you, being dead: the communicationOf the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.T.S. Eliot's poetic opus, the cycle called "Four Quartets""The Native Mind tends to view wisdom and environmental ethics asdiscernible in the very structure and organization of the naturalworld rather than as the lofty product of human reason far removedfrom nature. The Native Mind tends to view the universe as thedynamic interplay of elusive and ever-changing natural forces, not asa vast array of static physical objects. It tends to see the entirenatural world as somehow alive and animated by a single, unifyinglife force, whatever its local Native name. It does not reduce theuniverse to progressively smaller conceptual bits and pieces. Ittends to view time as circular (or as a coil-like fusion of circleand line), as characterized by natural cycles that sustain all life,and as facing humankind with recurrent moral crises-rather than as anunwavering linear escalator of "human progress". It tends to acceptwithout undue anxiety the probability that nature will always possessunfathomable mysteries. It does not presume that the cosmos iscompletely decipherable to the rational human mind. It tends to viewhuman thought, feelings, and communication as inextricablyintertwined with events and processes in the universe rather than asapart from them. Indeed, words themselves are considered spirituallypotent, generative, and somehow engaged in thecontinuum of the cosmos, not neutral and disengaged from it. Thevocabulary of Native knowledge is inherently gentle and accommodatingtoward nature rather than aggressive and manipulative. The NativeMind tends to emphasize celebration of and participation in theorderly designs of nature instead of rationally "dissecting" theworld. It tends to honor as its most esteemed elders thoseindividuals who have experienced a profound andcompassionate reconciliation of outer- and inner-directed knowledge,rather than virtually anyone who has made material achievement orsimply survived to chronological old age. It tends to reveal aprofound sense of empathy and kinship with other forms of life,rather than a sense of separateness from them or superiority overthem. Each species is seen as richly endowed with its own singulararray of gifts and powers, rather than as somehowpathetically limited compared with human beings. Finally, it tends toview the proper human relationship with nature as a continuousdialogue (that is, a two-way,horizontal communication between Homo sapiens and other elements ofthe cosmos) rather than as a monologue (a one-way, verticalimperative).David Suzuki"“The basis of all relations, including with self, and all studies, including activism and advocacy, are also environmental, spiritual…” jmn"Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined persuading yourself a god inspires you. Believe nothing on the authority of your masters or priests. After examination believe that which you yourself have tested and found to bereasonable and conform your conduct thereto." ~ The Buddha"With sincerity and earnestness one can realize God through all religions. The Vaishnavas will realize God, and so will the Saktas, the Vedantists, and the Brahmos. The Mussalmans and Christians will realize Him to. All will certainly realize God if they are earnest and sincere." ~ Ramakrishna, `The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna'"In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.", “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. ~ Mahatma Gandhi"What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." ~ Crowfoot"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds." ~ A KNOT, by R.D. Laing"Take care of everyone and abandon no one. Take care of everything and abandon nothing." ~ Lao Tzu~ E F Schumacher says." Wisdom demands a new orientation of science and technology towards the organic, the gentle, the non-violent, the elegant and beautiful"."What can be explained is not poetry." ~ WB YEATS"We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, effects all indirectly." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr."Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission, to be of service to them whenever they require it."~ St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals."Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." ~ Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)"If you rejoice in victory, then you delight in killing. If you delight in killing, you cannot fulfill yourself." ~ Lao Tzu"Peace is the only battle worth waging." ~ Albert Camus"There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people."~ Howard Zinn"How smooth must be the language of the whites, when they can make right look like wrong, and wrong like right."~ From Black Hawk (Makataimeshekiakiak) (1767-1838) Sauk war chief"What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."~ Ralph Waldo Emerson"If you want to know your past life, look into your present condition; ifyou want to know your future, look into your present action." ~ Padmisambha"Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makesevery yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.Look well, therefore to this day." ~ Sanskrit Proverb"Don't ask the Lord to guide your footsteps unless you are willing to moveyour feet." ~ Christian proverb\\"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."~ Confucius"People usually fail when they are on the verge of success. So give as much care to the end as to the beginning." ~ Lao Tzu"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult." ~ Seneca"For the sake of the rose the thorn is watered too." ~ Africa"As a great fish swims between the banks of a river as it likes, so does the shining Self move between the states of dreaming and waking." ~ Brihadaranyaka Upanishad"When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion."~ Ethiopian Proverb, Courtesy of Strider, via Inez Matus"To find yourself, think for yourself." ~ Socrates"We are what we repeatedly do.

صعدة – صنعاء – لندن " علم " عدن برس " أنه وتلبية لنداء الرئيس الجنوبي السابق علي سالم البيض للضباط والصف ضباط والجنود المشاركين في حرب صعده بترك ساحة المعركة التي لا تشرفهم ، فأن عدد من أبناء محافظة شبوة وأبين ولحج قد غادروا صعدة بأسلحتهم الشخصية ويقدر عددهم حوالي 25 فرد . فقد تجاوب عدد كبير من أبناء الجنوب في تلك الحرب الظالمة ، ففي اتصال هاتفي أجراه موقع "عدن برس" مع عدد من الضباط والجنود والذين ابدوا استعدادهم لترك ساحة المعركة والعودة إلى الجنوب مطالبين جماعه الحوثي بمساعدتهم بذلك والسماح لهم بالعودة والخروج من مواقعهم والتي يحاصر الحوثيون اغلبها . من جانبه بعث لطفي شطارة رئيس منظمة جنوب اليمن لحقوق الإنسان في المملكة المتحدة برسالة الى السيد عبد الملك الحوثي عبر مكتب الحوثي الإعلامي يطلب فيها تأمين انسحاب الجنود الجنوبيين الموجودين في المناطق التي يحاصرها الحوثيين ، وكذا معاملة الأسرى من من الجنود من أبناء الشمال معاملة إنسانية ، موضحا بأن المنظمة تلقت اتصالات عبر قنواتها تؤكد بأن جنود جنوبيين محاصرين يطلبون تأمين عودتهم الى مدنهم وقراهم في الجنوب وتركهم ساحة المعركة بصعدة . يذكر ان أبناء الجنوب الذين يتم أسرهم من قبل الحوثي يعاملون معاملة حسنه حيث يتفهم الحوثيون بوضع إخوانهم الجنوبيين وإنهم زج بهم في حرب ظالمه وليس لهم فيها لا ناقة ولا جمل . ومن ناحية أخرى وإشارة إلى خبر نشر على موقع "عدن برس" في وقت سابق بان هناك خيانة داخل الجيش اليمني فقد علم "عدن برس" بان اللواء 105 الذي أعلن أمس بأنه سقط بيد الحوثيون تفيد المعلومات بان هناك تواطؤ من قبل أفراد في قيادة اللواء ، حيث تم الاتفاق بينهم وبين جماعه الحوثي بذلك وانسحب الإفراد دون مقاومه تاركين دباباتهم وأسلحتهم وعتادهم للحوثيون ، وبهذا تأكيد بأن الجنوبيين يزج بهم الى محرقة ليسوا طرفا فيها . على الصعيد ذاته قال الحوثيين ردا على رفض السلطة في اليمن للهدنة التي اقترحوها أمس : " أن السلطة قد رفضت المبادرة فإننا نذكرها أنها ضيعت فرصة ثمينة كان يجب عليها أن تقف معها بمسئولية وبما يثبت سيادة قرارها ، وهي من الآن ستتحمل كل تبعات ونتائج الحرب وما ستخلفه من آثار وخيمة ونعدها بمفاجئات ثقيلة إنشاء الله، وبحرب إستنزافية طويلة الأمد نتماشى معها بنفس طويل، طويل أكثر مما تتوقع، وسنقف أمام اعتداءاتها وطغيانها مستعينين بالله الواحد الجبار المنتقم".

Investigative Techniques To Determine Time of Death

Posted by M.T. Al-Mansouri, Ph.D. on September 1, 2009 at 6:30pm

One of the first steps involved in a homicide investigation is the determination of the time of death. While knowing the time of death is not crucial in each and every homicide case, it can be of significant importance in some. Except for a bullet passing through a victim's head and striking a clock in the same room, determining time of death is not an exact science. However, there are a number of different indicators, most of which are evaluated during the autopsy, that can estimate the time of death to within hours. Accuracy will depend on such factors as the condition of the cadaver and its state of decay. Beginning at the crime scene, police officers can make a preliminary determination of the time of death by the body's appearance and surroundings. Factors such as indicative acts, postmortem body temperature (algor mortis), postmortem lividity (livor mortis), stiffening of the body (rigor mortis) and putrefaction can all help to roughly estimate the time of death. Later, during the autopsy, forensic pathologists can examine more closely the above information as well as other factors such as stomach contents, chemical changes within the body, and insect activity, also known as "forensic entomology". Starting at the crime scene, an investigator might look first at the indicative acts of the deceased. (O'Hara, 538) Indicative acts are those activities which the deceased may or may not have performed before death. If the victim is found in his or her home, non-medical evidence such as dates on uncollected newspapers, the condition of food in the house, or other customary acts not performed may give a relatively close estimate on time of death. In an outdoor crime, something such as the area underneath the body being unaffected by rain or snow could also set certain limits to the time lapse since death. (O'Hara, 540) However, probably the most reliable form of non-medical evidence are the statements of witnesses. (Hendrix, 19) If indicative acts or other non-medical evidence are not sufficient, then more scientific methods must be used, such as determining the postmortem temperature. Algor mortis, which means "the temperature of death" describes the cooling of the body. In ideal conditions, the rate at which a body cools is one degree per hour. However, factors such as the air temperature surrounding the corpse, body fat content, or immersion in water will cause the estimate to vary greatly. The following chart is based on a careful study of cadavers in a controlled environment with temperatures ranging from 59 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit: Rectal Temperature Time in Hours to Reach of the Cadaver the Indicated Rectal Temp. Minimum Maximum93 2 6 90 3 9 86 4 12 82 6 15 79 9 20 75 12 24 72 18 30 This table shows that accuracy in pinpointing time of death decreases as the body's core temperature decreases. Obviously, a span of 18 to 32 hours will be of little help to an investigator. (Wilber, 38). Fortunately, there are other methods to rely on, such as postmortem lividity. Livor mortis, which means literally "the color of death" is the discoloration of the skin caused by flow of blood into the venous spaces under the influence of gravity. Simply put, it is the blood pooling or settling into the lowest portions of the body. Livor is not considered to be a good indicator of postmortem interval, but there are some standards which can be seen. (Hendrix, 21). Anywhere from one-half to one hour after death livor can begin to be seen. Its appearance is similar to a bruise. In the early stages of lividity, (less than four hours) the skin, unlike a bruise, can be blanched when pressed. After four hours, the lividity has begun to set, and by six to ten hours, it has reached its maximum and is permanent. (Wilber, 39) Postmortem lividity is caused by the red blood cells settling into the veins and capillaries in the lowest portions of the body which causes a red color to appear in the skin beneath. Later, the red cells will break down and squeeze out of the capillaries into the body, thus making the lividity permanent. Therefore, livor is commonly used by investigators to determine whether or not a body has been moved after death. (Baden, 37) Because lividity, as stated earlier, is not a good indicator of postmortem interval, investigators may also look to another sign of death, rigor mortis. Rigor is a more common indicator of postmortem interval. Under normal environmental conditions, the muscles of a cadaver will stiffen (not contract) with a set pattern and rate. This is caused by dead muscle production of lactic acid fusing with the myocin in the muscles and forming a gel. This gel causes the stiffness. The smaller, shorter muscle groups of the face and neck are affected first, and the stiffness gradually works its way down the body to the legs. Rigor can begin to set in fifteen minutes after death or fifteen hours after. The average time is five to six hours. (O'Hara, 539) Different temperatures can cause variations in the rate that the body stiffens. Heat will cause rigor to set in quicker, whereas cold will slow the process; therefore, these factors must be considered when making a determination of the time of death. (Wilber, 27) In temperate regions, the following rule of thumb can be used in estimating death, but it must be used with caution: If the body feels: Warm and not stiff: Not dead more than three hours Warm and stiff: Dead between 3 and 8 hours Cold and stiff: Dead between 8 and 36 hours Cold and not stiff: Dead more than 36 hours Notice that after approximately 36 hours, the effects of rigor mortis will disappear. Rigor mortis should never be the only basis for estimating time of death. An interesting case which relied upon an accurate time of death estimate for a conviction was the John Belushi drug overdose case in Los Angeles. Belushi had been on a four day drug binge with a Canadian friend and drug groupie Cathy Smith. Smith was the last person to see Belushi alive, and she also administered his last injection of heroin. Discrepancies between the time she gave Belushi his last injections and the medical examiner's time of death estimate led to her charge and conviction of involuntary manslaughter. According to Smith, she gave Belushi his last injection on March 5, 1982 at 3:30 a.m. The injection was a "speedball", a mixture of cocaine and heroin. Later she stated that she heard Belushi coughing and brought him a glass of water at 7:45 a.m. He went to sleep, and at 10:15 a.m. she left him alive and sleeping and went to a bar to bet on a horse. At 12.30 p.m., Belushi was found dead by an exercise instructor. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived at 12:35 p.m. and Smith returned at 1:45 p.m. Pressure was put on the Los Angeles District Attorney by Belushi's wife to prosecute Smith because she sold a story of Belushi's last hours to the National Enquirer. When police came to question Smith, she fled to Canada. Giving someone drugs is not an extraditable offense in Canada, but murder is; therefore, the Los Angeles DA needed very persuasive evidence that Smith had caused Belushi's death. The medical examiner first needed to determine the time of death. According to EMS, Belushi was found with stiffness around the jaw, which is where rigor begins. EMS had stated that they had trouble placing an airway in his mouth. This early stage of rigor would have taken an hour or two to set in, making the time of death between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. However, rigor couldn't be relied on alone, because it sets in more rapidly on someone who is very active before death. So the examiner looked at lividity. The coroner had examined Belushi and taken pictures of him at 4:37 p.m. The pictures showed a definite purplish color on his back, which corresponded to how he was found, and the skin blanched when pressed. This state of lividity is right for about six to eight hours after death, thus putting time of death between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., earlier than rigor would indicate. The coroner also took Belushi's postmortem temperature at 4:37 p.m. It was 95 degrees F. Using the standard rule of thumb, which is the body cools after death one degree per hour, this would put the time of death around 1:00 p.m., half an hour after the exercise instructor found him dead. Obviously something was wrong. The EMS had already confirmed at 12:35 p.m. that rigor mortis had started. There were a couple of reasons for the temperature to be off. Belushi was overweight, and the amount of fat around the organs can affect the rate of temperature loss. Also, heavy cocaine use will cause the muscles to shiver and quiver, thus raising the body temperature. Belushi's temperature could have been as high as 100 degrees F at the time he died. Even so, he could not have died before 10:30 a.m. That many hours would have caused his temperature to be below 95 degrees, regardless of the aforementioned circumstances. All the information taken from rigor, livor and algor mortis pointed to a time of death between 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Rigor put death between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Livor put it at 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., but rigor ruled out the earlier time, as did algor. Death at 8:30 a.m. was too early for Belushi's temperature to be as high as 95 degrees F by 4:37 p.m. Thus, time of death was figured to be at 10:30 a.m., give or take an hour. What ultimately led to Cathy Smith's conviction was the determination that Belushi died of a heroin overdose and not from cocaine. Belushi had twice the lethal level of morphine in his bloodstream. Morphine is the breakdown chemical of heroin, which consists of a combination of morphine and acetic acid. Belushi had enough heroin in his system to kill two people. Given that amount, he would have died within two hours of the injection. If the 3:30 a.m. speedball injection was the final one, Belushi should have been dead by 5:30 a.m. Yet Smith said he was alive and talking at 7:45 a.m. By her own word, she was still with Belushi at 8:30 a.m. and didn't leave for the bar until 10:30 a.m. When the police were finally able to question Smith, she changed some of the times. She told police that Belushi had taken a shower around 6:30 a.m. (not after the 3:30 a.m. injection) and that she gave him a glass of water at 9:30 a.m. (not at 7:45 a.m.). This story confirmed that the 3:30 a.m. injection was not the last one. People with twice the lethal amount of heroin in their systems do not walk, talk, drink water and take showers. Smith never admitted to giving Belushi an injection after 3:30 a.m., but the medical evidence was against her. She consequently served fifteen months in jail for involuntary manslaughter. (Baden, 84 - 90). Reflecting back for a moment to indicative acts -- if the approximate time of the victim's last meal can be determined, a medical examiner may be able to conclude time of death by examining the body's stomach contents. In order for this method to be as accurate as possible, the investigator should also determine the size of the meal and what specific foods were eaten. This will give the medical examiner a good starting point for making his determination. He will look at both the position of the food in the stomach and its degree of digestion. All digestion processes cease at the time of death. Armed with the information given above, a pathologist can judge time of death by looking at how far the food in the stomach has moved. Food begins to empty from the stomach and into the intestines ten minutes after eating a meal. Light meals may take up to two hours to empty from the stomach, whereas a large meal may require up to six hours. The pathologist will compare the location of the food to the information about the victim's last meal to make his estimation. In order to confirm his/her estimation, the pathologist can also look at the degree of digestion. Digestion is the physical and chemical breakdown of food. There are several factors which will cause the rate of digestion to vary from person to person, but the primary rate depends on how long the food has been in the stomach and intestines. The medical examiner can use this to make a rough determination of the time since the victim's last meal and his death. (O'Hara, 541) Many other chemical changes occur within the body after death that can be drawn upon for determining time of death. The sum of these changes is called putrefaction, which is due to the action of bacteria on dead tissue. The major source is saprophytic bacteria in the gastrointestinal system that spread throughout the body. Time of death indicators abound in putrefaction, but they are all extremely variable due mainly to temperature. Along with putrefaction, there are other tissue changes, such as autolysis, which can serve as good time of death indicators, but like putrefaction, they are also variable with temperature Autolysis is an enzymatic destruction of tissues which begins at death. Pathologists can read the interval of autolysis to make time of death estimates. (Hendrix, 21) There have been cases where a homicide victim's body was found unusually well preserved. Since the time constraints for algor, rigor and livor mortis have long since past, chemical changes must be relied upon. Such was the case in the 1977 Pinchos Jaroslawicz murder investigation in New York City. Pinchos Jaroslawicz was murdered and his body was placed in a plastic bag and hidden in a basement. The temperature in the basement never rose above forty degrees F. Bacteria do not thrive in a cold environment, so there was no putrefaction after more than a week. Obviously after being dead this long, time of death could not be pinpointed to the hour; however, the pathologist in this case used what was at the time a new technique of determining time of death called the potassium eye fluid test. The test measures the level of potassium in the eye fluid. In life, there is a small amount; however, after death the red cells break down and the potassium in them enters the vitreous fluid at a predictable rate. The major advantage to this test is that it is unaffected by temperature. Using the potassium eye test, the pathologist in the Jaroslawicz case was able to accurately confirm time of death as eight days from when the body was autopsied. (Baden, 96) If the body is beyond putrefaction and chemical changes, there is still one more method to look at to estimate time of death, forensic entomology. It is common knowledge that death attracts insects. What is not common knowledge is that there are scientists called forensic entomologists who specialize in estimating time of death. They do so by estimating what stage of life the insects that inhabit the body are in. Entomologists know which insects are generally the first to arrive, and at what stages of decomposition that other insects will begin to arrive. The insects that usually arrive first are the Diptera, commonly called "blowflies" and Sarcophagidae, or "fleshflies". In temperate regions, they will usually arrive within fifteen minutes of death. The female blowflies will lay their eggs on the body, especially around the natural orifices. Eggs will also be laid in any open wounds. Fleshflies do not lay eggs, but will deposit larvae. Little change happens to the blowfly egg in the first eight hours, and total egg stage will typically last about a day. Once hatched, the larvae grow at a predictable rate. The larval stages of development are called instars. Blowfly larvae have three instars. The first instar is approximately five millimeters long after 1.8 days. The second instar is approximately ten millimeters long after 2.5 days, and the third instar is approximately 17 millimeters long after 4 to 5 days. A more precise way forensic entomologists use to determine age of larvae and eggs is called "rearing". The entomologist raise a test group of blowflies for comparison to those found at the crime scene. For example, a body is found with masses of blowfly eggs on it, none of which have hatched. How long has it been since the eggs were deposited (oviposited)? The entomologist will note the time of discovery and then note the time when the first instar larvae occur. He/she will subtract the time of the first larvae hatch from the time of the body's discovery and call that time "A". He/she will then rear those flies to adulthood, breed them on raw beef liver under conditions similar to the crime scene and measure the time from oviposition to the hatching of the first instar larvae and call that time "B". By subtracting "B" from "A", he will get "C", which is an estimation of the time since oviposition on the body until its discovery. This is just one example of many ways, forensic entomologists can estimate time of death. The succession of various organisms on cadavers happens in a fairly predictable sequence. As stated earlier, blowflies and fleshflies arrive first, and as putrefaction develops, more groups arrive at the scene, with most groups present just before the body dries out due to seepage of liquids. There are other insects which will show up after the body has dried out, which can provide fairly accurate time of death estimates three to six months back, possibly even further. Determining time of death is never an exact science, but with sound investigative techniques and a lot of help from science, the estimate can be pretty close. When a body has been discovered, investigators should start by first looking for indicative acts surrounding the body and questioning witnesses. This may be all that is needed to determine time of death, if it even needs to be known. Time of death could be just a footnote on a death certificate, or a crucial part of a prosecutor's case. In any event, investigators should be aware of the tools and the science that is dedicated to the accurate measurement of postmortem interval.

واشنطن: ان تعرف اليوم الذي تفارق فيه الحياة وسبب موتك لهو حلم مطلق يراود كل الناس، لكنه صار اقرب الى الواقع من الخيال بفضل موقع على الانترنت اسسه باحثون وطلاب في جامعة "كارنيغي ميلون" الاميركية. ويمكن لموقع "ديث ريسك رانكينغز دوت كوم"، "احتساب" احتمالات الموت التي تواجه كل شخص عبر استخدام بيانات عامة اميركية واوروبية لمقارنة هذه المخاطر تبعا للجنس والسن واسباب الوفاة والمناطق الجغرافية. واوضح احد مؤسسي الموقع ديفيد جيرار الاستاذ السابق في "كارنيغي ميلون" "بنسلفانيا، شرق" ان "اكثرية الاميركيين لا يملكون حقا معرفة كافية بمخاطر موتهم، ويزيد جهلهم في ما يتعلق بتصنيف المخاطر المعينة". ويقوم الموقع باحتساب احتمال موت الزائر في السنة التالية او ضمن فترة تمتد حتى 30 سنة، مصنفا الاسباب المحتملة المختلفة للوفاة بالاستناد الى الارجحية. وقال البروفسور بول فيشبيك احد مؤسسي الموقع ان الاخير يمكنه على سبيل المثال تقديم مقارنة بين امرأة في الرابعة والخمسين تعيش في بنسلفانيا وبين نظيرتها البريطانية. ولاحظ فيشبيك ان "مخاطر موت المرأة البريطانية بسرطان الثدي اكثر بنسبة 33%، وتكاد تنقلب النتائج في ما يتعلق بسرطان الرئة او الحنجرة اللذين يهددان اكثر المرأة البنسلفانية بزيادة نسبتها 29%". ومهما يكن من امر، فاحتمال موته يزداد بشكل طبيعي على مر الاعوام مع تقدمه في السن. وبذلك يكون لاميركية في العشرين حظا بنسبة 05،0% للموت هذا العام. لكن الخطر يزداد ثلاث مرات في عمر الاربعين، ثم 16 مرة في عمر الثمانين "5%". وقال جيرار الذي يدرس حاليا في جامعة "لورنس" في ويسكنسن "شمال" انه "في عمر الثمانين، تحتفظ الاميركية بفرص للعيش حتى بلوغ 81 عاما بنسبة 95%". وبالاستناد الى الباحثين، يتفاوت احتمال الموت في سنة معينة بشكل كبير بالاستناد الى المجموعات المدروسة. ويزداد الخطر لدى الرجال منه لدى النساء في كل شريحة عمرية. وتتفاوت ايضا نسبة ارتفاع مخاطر الموت لدى الرجال منها لدى النساء بحسب العمر، فتصل النسبة في سن العشرين الى 2.5 او ثلاث مرات اكثر لدى الرجال مع كثرة مخاطر الحوادث وجرائم القتل والانتحار التي تمثل 80% من احتمالات الموت لدى الرجال في هذه السن. وفي عمر الخمسين، لا تمثل هذه العوامل اكثر من 10% من الاحتمالات لدى الرجال، حيث تصبح الامراض القلبية الخطر الاكبر الذي يمثل 30% من مخاطر الموت في هذه السن. في المقابل، يزداد احتمال الموت بالسرطان في سن الثلاثين والاربعين لدى المرأة منه لدى الرجل. ويرتفع احتمال الموت بسرطان الثدي او البروستات في اوروبا الغربية منه في الولايات المتحدة، فيما ينخفض في ما يتعلق بسرطان الرئة. ويأمل الباحثون المسؤولون عن هذا الموقع ان يساهم في الجدل الدائر حاليا في الولايات المتحدة حول الاصلاحات الواجب ادخالها على انظمة الرعاية الصحية. وقال البروفسور فيشبيك "نحن نرى ان هذا الموقع هو اداة تسمح لكل شخص بتقييم احتمالات الموت الخاصة به وبمقارنتها مع نظرائه في مناطق اخرى من الولايات المتحدة واوروبا، وذلك للمساعدة في رفع الوعي العام واشراك المواطن في هذا الجدل". وكما يقول الفيلسوف الروماني اميل سيوران "يقبل المرء بالموت وليس بموعد موته. من الممكن ان يموت في اي وقت الا في الساعة التي يجب ان يموت فيها". :اذا كنت ترغب بمعرفة تاريخ وموعد موتك ... فذهب الى الرابط الالكتروني التالي http://deathriskrankings.com

إنهم ينهبون أعضاء أبنائنا / دونالد بوستروم ترجمة :آسية السخيري

Posted by M.T. Al-Mansouri, Ph.D. on August 31, 2009 at 9:58pm

تحياتي للجميع :هذه مقالة الصحفي السويدي دونالد بوستروم "إنهم ينهبون أعضاء أبنائنا" مترجمة إلى العربية.أتمنى أن يعمل الجميع على البحث عن مثل هذه الأصوات الشريفة في العالم الغربي , والتي من أهمها دونالد بوستروم، برونو غيغ، ستيفانو شيرياني، مارك إدوارد ناب وغيرهم الكثيرين; كي يتعرف إليها القارئ العربي... على الضفة الأخرى، يوجد أحيانا من هم أكثر عروبة من بعض العرب أنفسهم. خالص مودتي. دكتورة بثينة شعبان فلسطينيون يتهمون الجيش الإسرائيلي بسرقة أعضاء ضحاياه. هنا يروي دونالد بوستروم الفضيحة الدولية لزرع الأعضاء وكيف كان بنفسه شاهدا على الإضرار بجسد شاب فلسطيني ذي تسعة عشرة سنة. “بإمكانكم اعتباري وسيطا.” قال ليفي إسحاق روزنباوم من بروكلين بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية في تسجيل سري أجراه معه عون بمكتب التحقيقات الفيدرالي كان روزنباوم يعتقد أنه أحد عملائه الجدد. بعد عشرة أيام وفي أواخر تموز/ يوليو من هذا العام، اعتقل روزنباوم كما تمت إماطة اللثام عن شبكة واسعة للاتجار بالأعضاء وتبييض الأموال. هذه الشبكة الجديرة بالسوبرانو تم كشفها في نيو جيرسي وقد تورط فيها حاخامات ومسؤولون منتخبون وموظفون. بلال أحمد غانم (19 عاما) قتل برصاص جنود إسرائيليين، أخذوا جثته ثم أعادوها إلى عائلته وقد خيطت حافتا جرح يمتد فيها من الذقن إلى أسفل البطن. الصورة لـ: دونالد بوستروم. عمل الوسيط الذي يقوم به روزنباوم ليس له أي علاقة بالرومانسية. الأمر يتعلق بشراء وبيع الكلى القادمة من إسرائيل في السوق السوداء. روزنباوم يؤكد على أنه يشتري كلى من أشخاص ينتمون إلى أوساط متواضعة بعشرة آلاف دولار ثم يبيعها لاحقا إلى مرضى يائسين في الولايات المتحدة بمائة وستين ألف دولار. زمن الانتظار للحصول على كلية بواسطة القنوات القانونية هناك يمتد على فترة قد تبلغ في معدلها تسع سنوات. الاتهامات هزت الصناعة الأمريكية لزراعة الأعضاء. وقد صرح خبراء في ولاية نيو جيرسي لـ “ريال تايم نيوز/ Real-Time News ” بأن هذه الاتهامات إن كانت فعلا صحيحة، فإن هذه هي المرة الأولى التي توثق فيها عملية الاتجار بالأعضاء في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. عن سؤاله عن عدد الأعضاء التي باعها، أجاب روزنباوم متبجحا: “ليس قليلا. ولم يسبق لي أن فشلت.” الواضح أن تجارته في هذا المجال قد استمرت لمدة طويلة جدا. يشير فرانسيس ديلمونيتشي/ Francis Delmonici، الأستاذ في جراحة زرع الأعضاء بجامعة هارفارد والعضو بمجلس الإدارة للمؤسسة الوطنية للكلى، لنفس الصحيفة أن الاتجار بالأعضاء، المماثل لذلك الذي يشار إلى أنه وافد من إسرائيل، يقع أيضا في مناطق أخرى من العالم. وأغلب الظن أن حوالي 10 ٪ من 000 63 عملية زرع كلى في جميع أنحاء العالم غير قانونية، وفقا لتصريحات ديلمونيتشي. البلدان التي يشتبه في ممارسة مثل هذه الأنشطة فيها هي باكستان والفلبين والصين، حيث يتم نزع الأعضاء من السجناء الذين يقع إعدامهم. ولكن الفلسطينيين يشكون بجدية في أن إسرائيل تقبض على الشبان الذين تستعمل أجسادهم، كما هو الحال في باكستان والصين، كاحتياطي أعضاء قبل الإجهاز عليهم. اتهام خطير جدا، مع ما يكفي من علامات الاستفهام التي من شأنها تحفيز محكمة العدل الدولية للتحقيق في جرائم حرب محتملة. لقد تعرضت إسرائيل مرارا عديدة لانتقاد إدارتها غير الأخلاقية للأعضاء وزرعها. فرنسا كانت من بين البلدان التي توقفت عن التعامل مع إسرائيل منذ التسعينات. وقد كتبت جيروزاليم بوست أن “البلدان الأوروبية الأخرى ينبغي أن تحذو حذو فرنسا في المستقبل.” منذ أوائل القرن الواحد والعشرين، تم شراء نصف الكلى المزروعة للإسرائيليين بصورة غير قانونية في تركيا، وأوروبا الشرقية أو أمريكا اللاتينية. السلطات الصحية الإسرائيلية مدركة تماما لهذه التجارة، ولكنها لا تفعل شيئا لوقفها. خلال مؤتمر عقد في عام 2003، وقع إثبات أن إسرائيل هي البلد الغربي الوحيد التي لا تدين هيأتها الطبية الاتجار غير المشروع للأعضاء كما أنها لا تتخذ أية إجراءات قانونية ضد الأطباء الذين يشاركون في هذه التجارة غير المشروعة. الأدهى من ذلك أن رؤساء الأقسام من الأطباء بأكبر المستشفيات الإسرائيلية يشاركون في معظم عمليات الزرع غير القانونية، وفقا لصحيفة داجنز نيهيتر السويدية الصادرة في 5 كانون الأول / ديسمبر 2003. خلال صيف عام 1992، حاول إيهود أولمرت، الذي كان حينها وزيرا للصحة، معالجة مسألة النقص في الأعضاء عن طريق شن حملة كبيرة تهدف إلى العثور على متطوعين إسرائيليين يمنحون أعضاءهم بعد الموت. تم توزيع نصف مليون من المنشورات التي تدعو الإسرائيليين إلى التسجيل للاشتراك في التبرع بعد موتهم على الصحف المحلية. إيهود أولمرت نفسه كان أول من سجل اسمه ضمن المتطوعين. بعد مرور أسبوعين، أعلنت صحيفة جيروزالم بوست أن الحملة كانت ناجحة. ليس أقل من 35000 شخص سجلوا أنفسهم، مقابل 500 في الشهر سابقا. ومع ذلك فإن الصحفية جودي سيغل كتبت في نفس المقال أن الفجوة بين العرض والطلب لا تزال شاسعة. 500 شخصا كانوا على قائمة الانتظار لزرع كلية، في حين أنه لا يمكن تحقيق أكثر من 124 عملية زرع. من ضمن 45 شخصا من الذين يحتاجون إلى زراعة كبد، لا يمكن إجراء العملية لغير ثلاث حالات في إسرائيل. خلال هذه الحملة، بدأ عدد من الشبان الفلسطينيين من قرى الضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة في الاختفاء. جنود إسرائيليون يعيدونهم موتى ومفتوحي الأجساد بعد خمسة أيام. الحديث عن تلك الأجساد المذبوحة والممزقة يروع لسكان الأراضي المحتلة. كانت هناك شائعات عن وجود زيادة رهيبة في معدل اختفاء الشبان الذي تتبعه جنازات ليلية للأجساد المشرحة. كنت في المنطقة حينها وكنت أعمل على تأليف كتاب. اتصلت في مناسبات عدة بموظفي الأمم المتحدة الذين كانوا يشعرون بالقلق إزاء تطورات الوضع. الأشخاص الذين اتصلوا بي قالوا إنه من الأكيد أن سرقات أعضاء بشرية كانت تحدث، لكنهم ممنوعون من فضها أو التدخل ضدها. بعد أن وفقت في إيجاد شبكة أقدر من خلالها على بث التحقيق الصحفي، تنقلت إلى المنطقة لمقابلة عدد كبير من العائلات الفلسطينية في الضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة حيث التقيت آباء وأمهات رووا لي كيف أن أجهزة أبنائهم قد أزيلت قبل قتلهم. من أحد الأمثلة التي اعترضتني خلال هذه الرحلة الكئيبة قصة رامي الحجارة الشاب بلال احمد غانم. كانت الساعة تشير إلى منتصف الليل تقريبا عندما تردد هدير محركات رتل سيارات الجيش الإسرائيلي على مشارف قرية Imatin الصغيرة والواقعة في شمال الضفة الغربية. سكان هذه المدينة الذي يعدون ألفين استيقظوا على صدى الدوي. كانوا مثل ظلال صامتة في الظلام الدامس. بعضهم كان مستلقيا على السطوح وكان البعض الآخر مختفيا وراء الستائر أو الجدران والأشجار التي توفر لهم الحماية أثناء حظر التجول ولكنها تمنحهم دائما رؤية واضحة لما سيكون قبرا لأول شهيد حينها في تلك القرية. قطع جنود الجيش الإسرائيلي الكهرباء وصارت القرية الآن منطقة عسكرية مغلقة - حتى القطة لا يمكنها أن تكون في الخارج دون أن تتعرض حياتها للخطر-. الصمت المطبق الذي لا يطاق في هذه الليلة الدامسة كان لا يتخلله غير النشيج الأخرس. لا أتذكر إن كان ارتجافنا بسبب البرد أو التوتر. قبل خمسة أيام من ذلك، في 13 أيار / مايو 1992، استخدمت فرقة من القوات الخاصة الإسرائيلية ورشة نجارة في القرية ككمين. الشخص الذي تم ترتيب العملية من أجله هو بلال أحمد غانم، وهو واحد من أولئك الشبان الفلسطينيين الذين كانوا يرمون الحجارة وكانوا يجعلون حياة الجنود الإسرائيليين صعبة. بما أنه واحد من أهم رماة الحجارة، فقد كان بلال غانم مطلوبا لدى الجيش في السنوات الأخيرة. لذلك تراه يختبئ مع أولاد آخرين من أطفال الحجارة في جبال نابلس، بلا سقف يحميهم. الوقوع بين أيادي العدو يعني بالنسبة لهم التعذيب والموت: ولهذا ينبغي عليهم أن يبقوا في الجبال مهما كان الثمن. في 13 مايو، خالف بلال ما اعتاد عليه من حيطة، عندما لسبب غير معلوم مر دون أن يحمي نفسه من أمام ورشة العمل. حتى طلال شقيقه الأكبر، لا يعرف لماذا عرض نفسه لمثل هذه المجازفة. ربما خرج الفتى لجلب ما يسد رمقه ومرافقيه من المواد الغذائية التي لا شك أنها كانت قد نفذت عندهم. كل شيء سار وفقا لما خطته القوات الإسرائيلية الخاصة. حطم الجنود سجائرهم، ألقوا بعبوات الكوكاكولا، وركزوا بهدوء من خلال النافذة المكسورة. عندما صار بلال قريبا بما يكفي، كان عليهم فقط أن يضغطوا على الزناد. الطلقة الأولى أصابت صدره. وفقا للقرويين الذين كانوا شهودا على الحادث، أصيب بلال بعيار ناري في كلا ساقيه. حينها نزل جنديان راكضين من ورشة النجارة وأطلقوا النار من جديد على بطن بلال. ثم أمسكوا به من القدمين، وجروه على امتداد العشرين درجة حجرية لسلم الورشة. يقول القرويون إن أشخاصا تابعين لمنظمة الأمم المتحدة والهلال الأحمر ممن كانوا موجودين على مقربة من مسرح الحادثة سمعوا طلقات النيران وجاءوا للبحث عن الجرحى الذين يحتاجون إلى عناية. وقد دار حوار حول من الذي ينبغي أن يهتم بالضحية. انتهت المناقشات بنقل الجنود الإسرائيليين لبلال الذي كان مصابا بجروح خطيرة في سيارة جيب إلى مشارف القرية، حيث كان في انتظارهم طائرة هليكوبتر عسكرية. حمل الفتى إلى وجهة مجهولة من طرف عائلته نفسها. بعد خمسة أيام، أعادوه ميتا وملفوفا في قطعة من قماش المستشفى الأخضر. لقد عرف أحد القرويين الكابتن يحيى رئيس فرقة الجيش التي قادت العملية. كان هو الذي حمل بلال من مركز التشريح بـ “أبو كبير” خارج تل أبيب حتى مثواه الأخير. “الكابتن يحي هو الأسوأ من الجميع.” همس القروي في أذني. ” بعد أن أنزل يحي الجثة وغير قطعة القماش الخضراء بقطعة قطنية أخرى خفيفة، اختار الجنود بعض الرجال من عائلة الضحية لحفر القبر، وخلط الإسمنت. على الرغم من علو الأصوات الناجمة عن ارتطام المعاول بالأرض، كنا نقدر على سماع ضحكات الجنود الذين كانوا يتبادلون النكات في انتظار العودة إلى ديارهم. عندما تم وضع بلال في الحفرة، تعرى صدره. وفجأة أصبح من الواضح للعدد القليل من الناس الحاضرين آنذاك أي نوع من الإساءة كان الفتى قد تعرض إليه. بلال لم يكن أول شاب فلسطيني يدفن مع شق يمتد من البطن إلى غاية ذقنه. وسرت منذئذ التكهنات حول سبب هذه الغرز سريان النار في الهشيم. كانت العائلات القاطنة في الضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة على يقين تام بما يحدث لأبنائها: ” أبناؤنا يقع استعمالهم كمانحين غير متطوعين للأعضاء.” قال قريب لخالد من نابلس، وهو نفس ما ردده كل من والدة رائد من مخيم جنين وأعمام محمود ونافس في قطاع غزة. جميع أولئك اختفوا لعدة أيام قبل أن يعودوا ليلا، جثثا هامدة مشرحة. “لماذا إذن هم يحتفظون بالجثث لمدة خمسة أيام على الأقل قبل أن يسمحوا لنا بدفنها؟ ماذا يحدث للجثث خلال تلك المدة الزمنية؟ لماذا يتم تشريحها، ضد إرادتنا، في حين أن سبب الموت واضح؟ لماذا يرجعون لنا الجثث ليلا؟ ما سبب المرافقة العسكرية لعملية الدفن؟ لماذا يتم إغلاق المنطقة حين الجنازة؟ لماذا يقطع التيار الكهربائي؟ ” عم نافع كان متوترا حد البلبلة وكانت أسئلته الكثيرة دامية. أقارب القتلى الفلسطينيين لم يعد لديهم أدنى شكوك حول الأسباب الكامنة وراء هذه العمليات الإجرامية، بيد أن المتحدث باسم الجيش الإسرائيلي يؤكد أن ادعاءات سرقة الأعضاء لا تعدو أن تكون أكاذيب. “جميع الفلسطينيين الذين قتلوا كان المفروض أن يقع تشريحهم. هي مجرد عملية روتينية.” هو يقول. بلال أحمد غانم كان واحدا من بين 133 فلسطينيا قتلوا بطرق شتى خلال هذا العام. وفقا للإحصاءات الفلسطينية، أسباب الوفاة كانت: قتل في الشارع، انفجار، غاز مسيل للدموع، دهس متعمد، شنق في السجن، قتل في المدرسة، قتل في المنزل، وما إلى ذلك. الـ 133 شخصا الذين قتلوا تتراوح أعمارهم بين 4 أشهر و 88 عاما. نصفهم فقط أي 69 ضحية تم تشريحهم. التشريح “الروتيني” للفلسطينيين المغتالين الذي يتحدث عنه المتحدث الرسمي باسم الجيش الإسرائيلي لا يعكس واقع الوضع في الأراضي المحتلة… وتظل التساؤلات ملحة. نحن نعرف أن إسرائيل لديها حاجة كبيرة للأعضاء التي يقع الاتجار بها على نطاق واسع وبطرق غير قانونية منذ سنوات عديدة وحتى الآن، كما أننا نعرف أيضا أن السلطات هناك على علم بما يحدث وأن الأطباء ذوي المناصب الإدارية العليا في المستشفيات الكبرى مشاركون في مثل هذه الممارسات مثلهم مثل كثير من الموظفين بكافة المستويات. كما أننا أيضا نعرف أن الشبان الفلسطينيين يختفون، ثم تتم إعادتهم بعد خمسة أيام ليلا وفي سرية تامة بعد أن ترتق أجسادهم التي كانت تشق من الذقن إلى أسفل البطن. يبدو أنه قد حان الوقت بما فيه الكفاية لإضفاء سمة الوضوح على هذه التجارة البشعة المتوحشة وإلقاء الضوء على ما يحدث الآن وما كانت ترتكبه إسرائيل دون وازع يذكر في الأراضي المحتلة منذ بدء الانتفاضة. عن صحيفة ” أفتونبلادت” السويدية: 17 أغسطس 2009 دونالد بوستروم: صحفي من السويد

Posted by M.T. Al-Mansouri, Ph.D. on August 30, 2009 at 9:00pm

In Muslim nations and regions around the globe, this is the first week of the holy month of Ramadan, a time for followers to abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and sexual activity during the day, breaking their fast each sunset, with traditional meals and sweets. During this time, Muslims are also encouraged to read the entire Quran, to give freely to those in need, and strengthen their ties to God through prayer. The goal of the fast is to teach humility, patience and sacrifice, and to ask forgiveness, practice self-restraint, and pray for guidance in the future. This year, Ramadan will continue until Saturday, September 19th. In the photos section at The Canadian International Electronic Museum of Contemporary Photography, you can see or watch 22 photos.

The function of law in the international community :Does Israel Mistreat Palestinian Child Prisoners?

Walid Abu Obeida, a 13-year-old Palestinian farm boy from the West Bank village of Ya'abad, had never spoken to an Israeli until he rounded a corner at dusk carrying his shopping bags and found two Israeli soldiers waiting with their rifles aimed at him. "They accused me of throwing stones at them," recounts Walid, a skinny kid with dark eyes. "Then one of them smacked me in the face, and my nose started bleeding." According to Walid, the two soldiers blindfolded and handcuffed him, dragged him to a jeep and drove away. All that his family would know about their missing son was that his shopping bags with meat and rice for that evening's dinner were found in the dusty road near an olive grove. Over the course of several days in April last year, the boy says he was moved from an army camp to a prison, where he was crammed into a cell with five other children, cursed at and humiliated by the guards and beaten by his interrogator until he confessed to stone-throwing. Walid says he saw his parents for only five seconds when he was brought before an Israeli military court and accused by the uniformed prosecutor not only of throwing stones but of "striking an Israeli officer." The military judge ignored the latter charge and chose to prosecute Walid only for allegedly heaving a stone at soldiers. The boy got off lightly: he spent 28 days in prison and was fined 500 shekels (approximately $120). Under Israeli military law, which prevails in the Palestinian territories, the crime of throwing a stone at an Israeli solider or even at the monolithic 20-ft.-high "security barrier" enclosing much of the West Bank can carry a maximum 20-year-prison sentence. Since 2000, according to the Palestinian Ministry for Prisoner Affairs, more than 6,500 children have been arrested, mostly for hurling rocks. Walid's story is hardly unusual, judging from a report on the Israeli military-justice system in the West Bank compiled by the Palestine office of the Geneva-based Defense for Children International, which works closely with the U.N. and European states. Human-rights groups in Israel and elsewhere have also condemned the punishment meted out to Palestinian children by Israeli military justice. Most onerous, says Sarit Michaeli of the Israeli human-rights group B'Tselem, is that inside the territories, the Israeli military deems any Palestinian who is 16 years and older as an adult, while inside Israel, the U.S. and most other countries, adulthood is reached at age 18. The report states that "the ill-treatment and torture" of Palestinian child prisoners "appears to be widespread, systematic and institutionalized, suggesting complicity at all levels of the political and military chain of command." The group's director, Rifaat Kassis, says the number of child arrests rose sharply in the past six months, possibly because of a crackdown on Palestinian protests in the West Bank in the aftermath of Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
