The Monster and the Little Girl.

without comments

monstro-e-menina     Jason, the monster, is a deadly figure with blood on his hands. By itself, he’s the anti-hero, the beast, the assassin, the terrorist, the evil. But Jason has his little frind, Janie. He does everything to defend her, defend her “freedom”. She, the little girl, Janie is innocent, a child, pure, and despite Jason’s terrible appearence, she loves him, he’s her best friend.

     From anti-hero, Jason now became the hero of the movie. Everybody loves him. He’s still an ugly, filty, deadly,coward monster, guilty, a murderer with blood on his hands, but he’s our monster, he’s on our side. The audience loves him.

     Let’s change its shape now: Imagine Jason as a M1A2 Main Battle Tank. It’s just a killing machine, a monster, but it’s our monster; we love to fear it.

     If we make a comparision with Slavoj Zizec’s affirmation that there is no “clash of civilizations” but “clash within civilization“, we can easily understand the meaning of patriotism and why it is so difficult to go against it. The deadly image of this weapon is not to intimidate the enemy, but to leash its own people and impose control by fear.

159409428_6759edf29b     The more deadly weapons get, the more difficult it is go against it, the more power a minority inside the bubble gets… so go with the flow, follow the rules and you might even end up rich (with blood on your hands if that’s the way it should be for the supreme good!). Just like Cuba: Socialism or Death! where it is not the cause who has to sacrifice for the people, but the people for the cause, accepting to get shot by its leader in the name of higher objectives.

PS. We are the little girl.

Israeli’s White Phosphorus

without comments

The Israeli military may be using legal weapons, but it is using the weapons in an illegal manner
Marc Garlasco
Human Rights Watch

 

Phosphorus shells are legal to use as a battlefield obscurant, but are banned from use where civilians may be harmed.

BBC

 

“Use of aerial incendiary bombs against civilian populations, including against military targets in civilian areas, was banned in the 1980 United NationsConvention on Certain Conventional Weapons Protocol III. The U.S. however, has only signed Articles I and II, not Protocols III, IV, And V, and is therefore not bound by any such ban.”

Miss you (baby)

I’ve been holding out so long

I’ve been sleeping all alone

Lord I miss you

I’ve been hanging on the phone

I’ve been sleeping all alone

I want to kiss you

Gideon Levy – Haaretz

without comments

bendib-gaza-women

Israel is not being asked “to give” anything to the Palestinians; it is only being asked to return – to return their stolen land and restore their trampled self-respect, along with their fundamental human rights and humanity. This is the primary core issue, the only one worthy of the title, and no one talks about it anymore. No one is talking about morality anymore. Justice is also an archaic concept, a taboo that has deliberately been erased from all negotiations. Two and a half million people – farmers, merchants, lawyers, drivers, daydreaming teenage girls, love-smitten men, old people, women, children and combatants using violent means for a just cause – have all been living under a brutal boot for 40 years. Meanwhile, in our cafes and living rooms the conversation is over giving or not giving. . . Just as a thief cannot present demands – neither preconditions nor any other terms – to the owner of the property he has robbed, Israel cannot present demands to the other side as long as the situation remains as it is.”

Gideon Levy, journalist for the Haaretz newspaper.

Terrorism vs Armed Force

without comments

The difference between a terrorist group and a national armed force is a matter of quantity.

More than “x” soldiers, the organization is called Army

Less than “x” soldiers, the organization is called Terrorist

When an Army attacks, its called Operation X, where X can be any word.

When a terrorist group attacks, its called terrorist attack or suicide attack.

An army usually invades other countries.

A terrorist group usually fight in their own.

 

 

Oh yeah! right! And the terrorists know why they’re fighting for while the regular army men…hummm…..
