This is from a Korean TV show
The woman in the video is Huwaida Arraf, born in Detroit, Michigan, of the International Solidarity Movement. Married to Adam Shapiro, also of the ISM, whom she met while both were working at the Jerusalem centre of Seeds of Peace, an organisation seeking to foster dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian youth.
Huwaida is Christian, daughter of an Israeli Arab father and a Palestinian mother.
She majored in Arabic and Judaic studies and political science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She also has a JD from the American University’s Washington College of Law, focusing on international human rights and humanitarian law. She also spent a year at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and studied Hebrew in a kibbutz.
“In actuality, nonviolence is not enough. Rather, what is needed is nonviolent direct action against the occupation.” “The Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics— both nonviolent and violent.

Arraf was one of the ISM participants who slipped past Israeli security forces into Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity in 2002 to bring supplies to, and act as human shields for, Palestinian terrorists who were holding the clergy and staff as hostages inside. While in the church, the ISM members did nothing to stop the terrorists from desecrating holy shrines and terrorizing the captives.

Maid tortured by employer
Mon, Jan 12, 2009
AFP
RIYADH – AN INDONESIAN maid was repeatedly burned with an iron by her Saudi employer who also poured household cleaning agents on her wounds, a US rights group charged on Monday. Abuse of foreign maids is a common practice in the Gukf States.
In an open letter to the Indonesian and Saudi governments, Human Rights Watch said Ms Keni binti Carda, 28, was also forced to eat faeces and had her teeth broken and forced down her throat by her employers in the Saudi city of Medina.
The group called on authorities to prosecute her employers for what it called ‘unacceptable abuse and mutilation.’
‘We urge the Saudi and Indonesian authorities to coordinate to investigate this case, prosecute the abusers in accordance with international standards, and provide financial compensation and appropriate support services to the victim,’ the letter said.
HRW said the governments should use the case to demonstrate that abuse of domestic workers, who number in the millions in Saudi Arabia, is not tolerated.
Contacted by AFP, Indonesian diplomat Adi Zulfuat said the embassy in Riyadh was looking into the case.
According to HRW, Ms Keni binti Carda, from Bresbes, Java, began working in Saudi Arabia in July 2008 for the family of Mr Khalid and Mrs Wafa al-Khuraifi. It said the abuse began in September, during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, when her employers became angry over an official increase in her contract wage rate.
The abuse left the maid with extensive scarring and impaired vision in one eye, HRW said.
Mrs Wafa al-Khuraifi ‘beat her own children when they tried to protest’ at the treatment of the maid ‘and threatened Ms Keni with a grisly death if she tried to escape,’ it added.
It said that that based on her account of events, she was finally driven to the airport by her employer to return to Indonesia in October, and that Mrs Khuraifi ‘threatened to have Saudi police imprison her if she reported the abuse.’ She was finally treated at a special clinic for returning migrant Indonesian workers when she returned to Jakarta.
Mistreatment of foreign workers, especially household maids, has become a big issue in the Middle East. In December Labour Minister Ghazi al-Gosaibi warned against growing racism and bad treatment towards the millions of foreign workers in the kingdom. — AFP

Ma’an actually names some of the people who were killed today in Gaza. Out of the 27 people named, 22 were known “militants” and two are ambiguous. All were men.
If we exclude the two who are unclear, this means that 88% of those named were confirmed terrorists.
One in particular is of interest: Muhammad Nader Abu Sha’ban, aged 17. He was fighting at the time he was killed, but there is no doubt that Gazan doctors will count him as a child civilian, not as a “militant.”
Over the years, a significant number of the “children” that Israel has killed in various operations have been 16 or 17, far out of proportion to what one would expect in a normal distribution – and a great number of them were engaged in violent actions at the time they were killed.
Over half of the “child” victims in Gaza over the past year have been 15 or older. There is no reason to think that this number is any different now.
Keep that in mind every time someone quotes a statistic on how many children the IDF killed. Many if not most of them are very likely to have hardly been innocent.

Ma’an News Service… is the latest Zionist Enity’s tool?!?!? I’m afraid not, not this time children! Grow up kiddies. What makes you think you know better than the people victimized by Hamas? Will your invention of facts, your blatant falsification of history, change the truth. Why not just recognize the reality of the situation? Why not recognize that if Hamas ceases to exist and a new government takes over (one that is really interested in bettering the plight of the average Gaza inhabitant) and uses western aid to build infrastructure, invests in business and industry instead of smuggling tunnels or in missiles and assorted explosives, there will truly be peace! It takes real men to recognize the truth, some people will swallow their pride and grow up, others will stubbornly cling to their illusions and fashionable sheeple mentality. Pity!

Why haven’t you commented?
Do you too believe that the lives of Tamilian civilians are less important.

What is a young man in Gaza supposed to do? There is nothing to look forward to except maybe violent death. The Israelis have systematically blown up all the schools and universities. Yup, Gaza is one big terrorist training camp, no thanks to Israel.
