The MADNESS Continues

 

 

The latest intrusion by Israel into Gaza is sheer INSANITY! Think about it: how long will the world listen to Israel AGAIN bitch and moan about how the Palestinians are the perpetrators in every incursion Israel takes into Palestinian Land?

 

How much longer, will the world (and chiefly the U.S.) believe wholeheartedly in Israel’s side of the Story … while demeaning, vilifying, and humiliating  the position of Palestinians?

It astounds me, it truly does, how the United States CONSTANTLY sides with Israel during each-and-every Confrontation; while shamelessly’ The Israealis’ plunder, invade, and KILL thousands of Innocent Palestinians with impunity; all because the United States has HISTORICALLY and Blindly carried Isreal’s water and ‘Cause’ since Isreal’s very inception … and is Reason #1 why America is bound to the conflict as close as a Mother to her child.

And also why we’re HATED around the World!!

It amazes me how Americans so easily side with Israel each-and-every time! It does. And what further amazes me is …. you have so-called Intelligent Americans, that don’t know squat about the Palestinian People or their Grievances, so willingly stand ready to ’side’ with Israel and think that Military Incursions and atrocities are JUSTIFIED in the name of ‘Israeli Peace’ and Security!

Look. If Military incursions into Palestine were the Answer ~ this Conflict would have ended decades ago! But it hasn’t, and won’t!

I’ve long since stopped wrestling with the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ as to the causes of the constant Conflicts between Israel and Palestinian. Stopped because as long as the United States is ’stuck on dumb’ and refuses to be an Honest Broker in any Peace Process …. we’ll see this SLAUGHTER happen again-and again – and again.

And for those of you that think my Views on Israel to be somehow Antisemitic: the hell with you too!

I’m sick of this MADNESS!

  

“Comments From Zero/Zero”

Hi. I am Trevor Thomas, the blind AT through-hiker. Thanks for posting my article on your blog. I would love to have a copy of the article posted in the San Francisco Chronicle for my file, but have been unable to pull it up online. I was unaware they had picked it up. Can you help? Im glad you found my story to be inspirational. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Trevor!

 

 

I’m Honored that you took the TIME to somehow find my Blog. Secondly, I want to again say that what you did was truly Remarkable and a Testament to the Human Spirit ~ and the Courage we have if only we Believe in ourselves and  what we have deep inside us.

 

I first read about the AT several years ago and I thought to myself: “I love walking and hiking, but across 14 States! You got to be joking!”   : )

 

Maybe in the next Life, huh!   : )

 

Anyway, about your request. After I came back down to earth after seeing your Comments <g>, I thought to fulfill your request ‘no big deal’: all I’d have to do is Google it and presto; but it wasn’t quite that easy. For some strange reason, the “San Francisco Chronicle” isn’t into the ‘archive’ business, at least not online;  that or else the Chronicle doesn’t archive articles it uses from News Groups such as McClatchy (as I believe the Chronicle is a member). Now of course I could try getting in touch with the Chronicle directly ~ which I did ~  but trust me Trevor: unless you have a murder you want to report … or an Ad you want published … or an Article you want ‘corrected’ … or a Subscription you want, you’re pretty well ’stuck’ with the Chronicle’s General Operator, and there: good luck trying to reach a Human Voice.   : )

 

To make a long story short <g>, and after days of not believing how hellish it was to get some progress on a simple problem ~ after all, if Trevor could hike the mighty AT … why can’t I get this little thing done <g> ~ I finally found something I believe is an Answer to our joint endeavor.  : )

 

I found a site that offers the World the Leading Newspapers throughout the entire world and in every conceivable language. Here’s the website:

 

                                 PressDisplay.com

 

I would have ‘linked’ the above, however I’m not as sophisticated in computer skills as one would think!   : )

 

Just type the above in a ‘Google’ or web browser that you use and you’ll be right there. After all, you found me didn’t you!   : )

 

It’s a Fantastic site and one I plan on using often. Play with it a bit ~ I did ~ and you’ll be able to ARCHIVE the December 12, 2008 Edition of the ‘San Francisco Chronicle’ that has your Story entitled “Blind Hiker’s Long Journey Out Of  Darkness“. You find it in the ’Nation and World’ Section of the paper.

 

Now, there’s one little hitch. Since PressDisplay considers your Article as ‘ARCHIVED’ … they’ll charge you $2.75 to retrieve it; and I must admit, Trevor, that since this is NOT my story … I didn’t go that far in my Quest, okay!  : )

 

Good Luck, Trevor! And say, since I’m a HUGE Fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” … perhaps I can convince you to allow me to guide you through the “Misty Mountains” (or New Zealand’s ‘Southern Alps’ as they were so wonderfully displayed in the Films of the same Title) 

 

Again, it was a “Great Story” you lived out on the mighty AT, Trevor. Let me know how this current Quest of the “San Francisco Chronicle” turns out, OK!

 

May the Valar be with you!
