Israeli insensitivity questioned by the US administration

Netanyahu unsure of next move with US

The world seems to think that peace can be forced upon people,fact is that they must want it.Islam does not want peace,it was fathered by a mad man and and the desire was to conquer by force.The father of peace was God Almighty,in the person of Jesus Christ.Any attemp to get to God must be through Jesus,,,not muhammed.

Peace talks will go nowhere anyway

The Palestinians will ask for unacceptable concessions which Israel will reject. What a waste of time.

Real and Honest Leadership does Not Make Wars!!!

After the earthquake in Haiti
To heal the wounds of the soul

Leticia Martínez Hernández Photo: Juvenal Balán

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti. � On March 9, Cuba assaulted the Champ de Mars Plaza, the same one where thousands of sad, exhausted people took shelter two months ago. And yes, it was literally an assault, but the kind mounted by people devoted to healing the wounds of the soul. A Cuban-style assault, with rumba from Santiago, clowns, acrobats, magic, paintbrushes, colors, dances, stilts, songs� The captain of the invasion: the artist Kcho. The conquerors: members of the Marta Machado Brigade. The target? Hundreds of Haitians who, for one morning, forgot about the tragedy to smile with Cuba.


The Cuban artists moved among the tents and bedraggled improvised shelters, drawing people out.
The clock showed 10 a.m. Everything was ready in front of the gardens of the collapsed National Palace: the Haitian police in formation, fencing to mark off the activity space. But because art has no schematic way of doing things, far less the spirit of Kcho, the Brigade of cheer, far from any kind of fear, entered at the least-expected point. The Cuban artists moved among the tents and bedraggled improvised shelters, drawing out the people, whose reactions changed from amazement to delight as happiness invaded the plaza.

Kensí was a clown yesterday for the first time. The colors on his nose and cheeks displaced this little boy�s sadness, sweeping away the bad memories of an earthquake that left him homeless. Like him, hundreds of children, and adults, enjoyed the clowns on stilts prompting a noisy conga line under their long, long legs; the clown Cebollita, as people sprayed each other with his water gun; the magician Sixto, who before the eyes of dozens of people made gourdes (Haitian currency) and playing cards disappear; the vocal group Desandann, who had everyone shaking their hips with their songs in Creole; the paintbrushes of Rancaño; the sketches by Kcho, who told Granma daily that he felt happy at having learned that talent is worth nothing if not shared with others.

And it was pure art that the Cubans offered to hundreds of people in Champ de Mars Plaza. So it was perfectly normal, under that precept of share talent to make it real, to hear the notes of jazz musician Yasek Manzano. A young man who studied at Julliard, the prestigious New York school of music, and who has played on stages all over the world, and yesterday showered happiness on this devastated Haiti.

Neither his name nor his awards matter, Yasek said. 'I�m just another guy who came to give his heart, to help with the talent that life gave me, with what I learned in Cuba. I�ve fallen in love with this. I�ve been with the brigade in Zapata Swamp, in Guayabal, on the Isle of Youth...and Kcho knows he can count on me.'

Kcho says his telephone has not stopped ringing since the same day of the earthquake, January 12. 'The brigade members, friends, were calling me to ask what we were going to do, but we realized that it wasn�t as yet the right time to come here. It was the time for doctors, for healing, for operating. But our day arrived, and we are here to heal the wounds of the soul right now, because if not, the future of this country will be compromised forever. When am I leaving? I don�t know. I just got to this country, and I came to help.'

Yesterday the crowded plaza was a fiesta. It all seemed surreal, a promise of the happiness that we wish for Haiti. Even the fence surrounding the National Palace, which makes one think of the line between luxury and misery, looked beautiful when Cuban hands hung from it enormous drawings made by Cuban children who have also been affected by natural disasters. A halo of faith, hope, and smiles covered Champ de Mars that day.

After the earthquake in Haiti
To heal the wounds of the soul

You’re off topic....way off

Maybe I am off topic!

Maybe you are too narrow minded, and too messianic to understand that Peace comes in other ways than making war and stealing, and occupying the lands of your neighbor!

God has set a for the jews to see that Jesus is the true Messiah and its not far away.

What sick greedy leeches!!

Praising the likes of the israekis! and posting hate nonsense against the Cuban Peoples because they being real Neighbors! Greedy lil leeches stealing from weak palestinians and using US Tax Dollars to do it!

Off topic! my my American Interests! above all else!

So How about the on topic leeches posting...

... just who the American Interests are!

I know I’m not in that group! I don’t steal! I would rather be a good neighbor!

Governments always do what they want

Israels government will do what they want, they will push just enuff. The Hamas gov. has their own plan & it ain’t peace. Russia plans to push Georgia, just enuff...Cuba, well they killin' themselves, thanks to their government. The US has many problems, thanks to our government.
Peace talks are on hold................to infinity & beyond.

It is time that the US stops giving aid to Israel

Stop all aid to Israel and remain neutral in this tug of war...

It is time that Israel learns to respect accords and fight its own battles without the drain that has and is putting on American taxpayers.

I believe that if Israel did not have the support of the USA. A peace settlement would have been reached long, long ago. And many innocent lives could have been saved, on both sides..

Where are the muslim nations?

Why must it always be America that is looking out for Muslims? When the Taliban kills thousands of Muslims in Afghanistan and Sadam kills hundreds of thousands in Iran, Iraq and Kuwait, when thousands of Muslims are massacred in Yugoslavia and thousands are stuck in Palestine under oppressive Israeli policies.

Europeans do nothing, Asians do nothing and Arabs do nothing except watch their brothers die. Why doesn�t Malaysia or Indonesia or Saudi Arabia send thousands of troops to Palestine to uphold the UN�s settlement agreement? The US gives billions to Israel but they give trillions to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman and Pakistan why aren�t they taking the lead on this?

I think American tax payers are sick of giving all their money to oil rich Muslim nations who just turn around and attack them through funding �muslim� groups who are more interested in dealing drugs than reading the Koran. They refuse to lift a finger to protect their brothers against weapons and soldiers but they won�t hesitate to bring down a plane or blow up a market, killing hundreds and thousands of innocent women and children.

America is guilty of many crimes (especially under the Bush years) but its impossible to call it an anti-Muslim nation when they are the largest trade partner with almost every Muslim nation and just as many Muslims as Jews call America home.

Oh, that Old Time Religion!

Religion has been at the root of most major conflicts for centuries. Religious leaders can work to stop or prevent conflict but do not do so.
Conflict will decline when religions learn to adapt to the real world and accept the true role of mankind.
We should all unite to face a much greater threat - Extinction!

Peaceful-relations Now

In this world of ours (I mean the one that we have created for ourselves today) family ties
begin at home. Thanks to our leaders for helping keep as much (or as little) sanity among peoples.

Galljdaj is out of touch. Haiti does appear it is in middle east.He is a Muslim radical and he post many negative write up. The old farth should retired in the old folks house and he should bullshits all the old folks as entertainment......Jews in the United States voted democrate without deviations.98% of the Jews American did it in their voting in the presidential election without thinking.They help elected a Muslim.Ayan ang napala mo.Remember, I do not have not against the American Jews, but they should make a just choice in the next election. Not Sarah Palin, I think she is too stupid.

It is our capital

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and we don’t need permission to build there! It has been our capital for 3,000 years. There has never been a palestinian nation nor a palestinian people. It is a myth. The Obama administration are acting like perfect dhimmis.

Without accepting your argument...

... why did you run away and abandon Jerusalem? So that the UN Resolution 181 paid for and brought back all that was left of the cowards that ran away?

No answer!!!

My my the cowards' claim is false!
