This post haven't been published and I thought it was (still in draft mode)...anyway, old story if you care to read.
Today 4th September 2009, I'm once again here at the big apple...New York!. Having been here for few times but I'd like to make a short story of my latest visit. Many people would like to experience the life in New York city..it's busy, hectic but full of life. If you were to stand at one place for an hour, you'll be able to see all the races in world....well, almost.
While the whole world is the scares of H1N1 and back here in Malaysia we can see people wearing face mask, but not here in New York. Malaysian are misunderstood of the way the virus spreading and thought by covering mouth and nose is good enough. Well, the most important is to take care of you hands hygiene as the virus mostly spreads through what you've touched then transmitting by your hands through your eyes, nose or mouth. You should take care when touching any public utility, transport..etc. Escalator hands rail, Ketchup dispenser at McDonalds and the most unhygienic for me are the ketchup bottles in KFC. Everybody shares the same bottle on the tables and by right at this stage of H1N1 in our country, all those should be substituted with individual sachet of ketchup.
While this city is busy but respect and courtesy is highly put at the utmost value and I can say much and lots more better than in Malaysia. We only being nice to foreigner and not to our own people...shame!. We do not have the sensitivity towards others and imagine in public transports in New York that no radios are allowed. This really make sense as you may like the song and I may not....you may understand the language but I may not. Have you experience a bus or taxi drivers in Malaysia tuning into their favorites channel?.
In New York city, there are massive traffic on the road but I can't barely smell the carbon emissions from the vehicles. Main reason that you could think of is the vehicles up to the standard specs of operation and high quality fuel. Instead, I can smell cigarettes smokes more often and bare in mind in Malaysia the numbers of smokers is much greater than in New York but the smoke emissions in KL for instance is at killing stage.
As we seen in the media that even Jewish people has condemned the aggression of Israel on Gaza. Some people may say not all Jewish people are Zionist and I respect that opinion. Jewish in my view are smart people and in everything they'd do, it will be planned very well. The "good" side of Jew that we have seen in the media is actually to counterbalance the situational condition of what being done by their blood relation Zionist.
The War on Gaza is actually a well planned and Israel "need" this war for their occupancy of Palestinian's land. Gaza is only 45KM long and 12KM wide and for this, they can only run but they can never hide. Dropping off leaflets to inform Palestinians to evacuate?...where to? all borders and exits has been closed. This is a new era of genocide and why did I say that?.
They planned well and attack in the winter so that Palestinians has no shelter in the cold season. They cut off all the essential supplies such as water and electricity and they bombs unnecessary places such as Mosques and schools (even UN school) and claimed those places are being used for weaponry storage. They attack right on prayer time which had killed many peoples including 3 children inside the Mosque. Can you see how well they planned?. They study into micro detail before doing anything. From the footage of the bombing there are 2 explosions which they claimed that the second explosion shows the weapons or bombs that have been destroyed. No..no..no...second explosion was no greater than the first. They were using bombs that use to destroy bunker, first explosion penetrate the shell or building and second explosion to kill the occupants.
Israel are using white phosphorous (aka Willy Pete) which is banned because of their potential use against the civilians. White phosphorus bombs and shells are incendiary weapons, but can also be used as offensive anti personnel flame compounds that capable of causing serious burns or death. This chemical can, will and has resulted in thousands of innocent civilians lives by injuries and death in three ways...by burning deep into tissue, by being inhaled as a smoke, and by being ingested. Extensive exposure by burning and ingestion is fatal.
Israel Defense Force (IDF) made a press statement about hundreds of Hamas fighters has been killed in the fiercest fighting. But they never show in the news as evident and if IDF really killed hundreds of Hamas, surely the footage will be aired to the whole world and ask for support of their incursion into Gaza. IF the report is true, the number of civilians casualties doesn't justify their action, period!.
All they can say "this is war" and 1/3 who died are children.
Why did Hamas firing the rockets into Israel?, because they don't have the ultimate freedom and still being control by the Jewish state. The tunnels that Hamas build not solely to smuggle weapons but live stocks, medicines and foods!. To settle all these issues we have to look back at the core or roots of this problem. You've got to know the history....
Those day the Jewish people were not even care about the "promised land" and after the holocaust by the Nazis during WWII they make a return. All was based on their believe/Torah /Tanakh/Talmud, you name it and they came as war refuges. They were located in high security camp managed by the British and started to make chaos by killing few British army officers. August 1, 1948 the British mandate of Palestine (1920) was terminated by UN (resolution 181) in order for the formation of 2 states of Arabs/Jewish and slowly they grant their "right" after British left.
The approximate borders of the British Mandate circa 1922. In September 1922 Britain organized the territory east of the Jordan river, "Transjordan," as an autonomous state.
Below is the UN partition plan for Palestine in 1947
and look at the map below, compare then & now...
They wanted Jerusalem so bad and few others strategic areas. click here and you can see what are the Zionist think about Palestine. This is an Israelis travel agency site which promote tourism in Israel and it shows everything about their vision. To them Palestine is never exist and by producing such a map it will educates new generations or people who doesn't know about the history and Indirectly rewritten the history...
Imagine this, you give small portion of your land for them to live and years later you are the one who have to get out from the land and fighting for your rights. This is almost the same history as Andalucia (now Spain). Would it be alright if the Muslims taking back Andalucia solely base on Islamic history & believe?..."you'll cry if you know the whole story of Andalucia".
That is a small part of history on how Jewish came into Palestinian's land.
Jewish/Zionist for me are the same. A person who extend right hand for a "friendship" and throw a punch from a left hand...be more careful of the right hand.
