Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

Israel Bulldozes Rafah Zoo
OK, this is like my third entry today. The other two are Tomato Trellises and Good Kitty News, and Sunny Day and Microorganisms.
But I forgot to write about this yesterday when I heard about it. It is about the Israeli army and Rafah. They claim they are only razing houses in a strip that housed people fighting them, and where there was a tunnel. It is not true. They are pushing bulldozers through houses no where near there. They are saying "oh there must have been a Palestinian bomb"... yeah, pushing down houses in a straight line, flattened.
And they have bulldozed the zoo, including the animals. I tell ya. This totally is horrid. Fuckin monsters.
Here is an article from the Guardian in the UK (this is reprinted... I read it at The Guardian Unlimited first, but this reprinting has a photo).
It is similar to the article I read in the french language newspaper here on Saturday, also with many photos.
fucking stupid freaking people. BTW you may note that they also said that two children were hit by Palestinian bomb shrapnel when accused of shooting them through the head. It was shown that they died of a single gunshot wound to the head each.
These aren't even warcrimes. They are murders, and pillaging, wanton revenge upon a whole people.
Let's raise a whole new generation whose prime motive in life will be to get back at the Israelis who tore apart their homes, took away their parents' livelihood and shot their friends.
shit shit shit.
Humans just never learn.
Here's another TimesOnline You, know, like the US after 9/11, the Israelis had the world's sympathy, and like the US after 9/11, they think it is license to be brutal, use military force against civilians, wreck and destroy, and basically be bullies that you don't even want to look in the face except to spit at them. I hate it. I hate having the ones we root for turn into monsters. shit shit shit. 2 People have left cute, callous or caring comments on the wench's wordiness!!
