African Union Wants Israel to Back Down

December 31st, 2008

Cynthia McKinney

 A day after Israelis raided the Gaza Strip, even ramming the boat occupied by former Georgia Democrat Cynthia McKinney, the African Union Israel’s actions, calling on the United Nations Security Council to force the Jewish state to back down. “The (AU) Commission strongly condemns the ongoing air raids on the Gaza Strip by Israel since 27 December,” the union said in a statement. “This massive and disproportionate attack constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law and will further aggravate the suffering of the civilian population, which, as a result of the siege imposed by Israel, has been faced by shortages of food, medicine and fuel.” The African Union urged the Security Council and members of the Middle East diplomatic Quartet “to fully assume their responsibilities toward the civilians in the Gaza Strip by compelling Israel to an immediate ceasefire.” It also pleaded with the nations of the world to increase medical and humanitarian aid to victims of the attacks. On Monday, McKinney, the 2008 Green Party candidate and the first African-American woman elected to Congress from the state of Georgia, joined more than a dozen high-profile leaders who headed to the region aboard a medical supply ship on a humanitarian mission. The yacht, owned by the U.S.-based Free Gaza Movement, collided with an Israeli gunboat, which had fired machine guns into the water to stop the vessel’s progress, FOX News reported. At least 360 Palestinians, including more than 50 civilians, have been killed in the raids, according to officials.

Why isn’t anyone, especially in the Arab world, remembering the fact that Hamas started the whole thing. They have been shooting rockets into Southern Israel for several years now.

Is anybody putting pressure on Hamas?



Efil Sih Said on

When Russia thwarted the military actions by Georgia, President-elect Obama, was quick to voice his own concern for restraint, and a cessation of the war being fought between the two .

When Israel as it customarily does… uses the latest and most accurate Planes, Rockets Gunships, Missiles , Tanks, and all else that Monies, Resources, and Wealth of the United States of America , its Western Cahorts, as well as the Most Powerful World-Wide Organized Jewish Lobby, can in unity provide… for delivering and inflicting wholesale Deaths, Maimings, Mutilations, and otherwise, Destroying Lives and livelihoods of the most victimized peoples anywhere around the whole world, the Palestinian People…President Obama …merely in effect relies upon his not being sworn into the Oath of Office of the Presidency yet…to remain silent as more and more defenseless Palestainan Peoples are by the Jewish imposed country of Israel are slaughtered at the whims and fancies of that said imposed country called. “Israel”.

Thus his remark which he stated during his campaign for that highly deserving-to-be-recognized disgraced position, of President of the USA… to the effect that, Israel is the Best and Most Important Ally that the USA has in the whole Middle East , speaks to the complete absence of President-Elect Obama and even when he is sworn into the Office of the USA President …feeling, either concern or genuine sentiment for the well-beings of People of Palestine.

All Ordinary Peoples Around the World should immediately ( within each’s respective means and resources ) … engage in acts and activities to Cause the Immediate, Permanent, and Lasting End to the abuses and sufferngs of the Peoples of Palestine , at the whims and fancies of the said culprits referenced herein.

The Peoples of Palestine have been deprived of having or even speculating upon having for their defenses ..a single airplane, a single tank, a single battle ship…and even one accurate long range missile , or Rocket …while those who do such inhuman deprivations…assure that the imposed country of Israel has surpluses and stockpiles to administer the
destroying greatest maximum deaths and destruction upon lives and livelihoods of the Peoples of Palestine.

While Humanity International has been for some while now ,placing responsibility for all such inhuman actions rightfully upon the World Wide Legal Dictatorship/Legal Industry…I on behalf of Humanity International Now, justly name the Wielders of Power in that World Wide, Legal Profession/Legal Industry , which controls Lives and Livelihoods of Ordinary Peoples through its Dictatorship, in every country and political entity as being …those who are referred to as being, “JEWISH” WITHIN THE SAID LEGAL PROFESSION/LEGAL INDUSTRY’S DICTATORSHIP.

By virtue of such “JEWISH CONTROL” over the One Profession/Industry, which dominates over lives and livelihoods of all other peoples professions and human endeavors …around the whole , such a small percentage of the Human Population actually renders the over-all majority of the Human Population World Wide as mere Subjects to the Dictates of those who posswess the Real Authority andPower within the Profession/Industry which not only manufactures “Laws and Orders”…but which also has at its discretion…the Enforcers for submissions to those manufactures.

Anyone and every one is at liberty to disagree with these revelations , as are herein st forth… but please do so , only after investigating without bias and / or, “legalized” influences as the foundations for such contentions to the contrary of what is here expressed.

Sincerely,

Efil Sih

Humanity International

Ms. McKinney please read the GOOD BOOK, IT will tell you why things are happening and if you understood prophecy you would change your tone. Read and listen what the Almighty is saying.
Ms. McKinney your position and comments are out-of-line, thanks for your concerned but there are just some things you can’t change. READ ABOUT IT!!!

Among men, blacks (28.5%) are about six times more likely than whites (4.4%)
to be admitted to prison during their life. Among women, 3.6% of blacks and
0.5% of whites will enter prison at least once. (U.S. Department of Justice)
Based on current rates of incarceration, an estimated 7.9% of black males
compared to 0.7% of white males will enter State of Federal prison by the
time they are age 20 and 21.4% of black males versus 1.4% of white males will
be incarcerated by age 30. (U.S. Department of Justice)
Some have noted that more black men are in prison in America than are in
college. (The Black and White of Justice, Freedom Magazine, Volume 128)

DON’T BREAK THE LAW NOMATTER WHO YOU ARE AND YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT.



Frances Caldwell Said on

These people who practice the RELIGION called Judisiam, some feel that whatever they do is right and the rest of us she sit quietly and let them do whatever they please. How can you want the world to feel sorry for what happened you, yet you do the same to others, what God do you serve. Ms. McKinney has a right to help whoever she please anywhere in the world, like we all have that right.

olounwa Said on

What the hell is doing over there? She is just a waste of time. She makes Africa looks bad. Put her non educated ass back in the America.



Henry Said on

olounwa there are plenty of non educated asses in other parts of the world as well. Your irrational and often inflammatory comments are proof positive of that fact.



jfffnn Said on

McKinney is saying what many people around the world are saying.She has a right to opinion and speech.By the way,McKinney has a law degree so where did “non educated” come from.



jfffnn Said on

Olounwa
It appears that you and Cynthia are on the same page about Israel being that you don’t agree with Zionism;So how does that make her “un deducated” or is a case of birds of feather flocking together ?



Sheila Said on

This uneducated woman has as much right to be over there stating her opinion as olounwa has a right to keep posting racist and ignorant comments about ALL black Americans on American blogs.



joi Said on

Just like governments today alot of blame and finger pointing but no one gives suggestions or solutions. Like momma says if you can’t say nothing nice shut your mouth. What we need and everyone around this world needs is some understanding and for all of us to stand strong and tall and become educated in all arenas of the world not just our smug lil selves and make choices to help and kick out the people who are doing wrong. That is such a big job to do. I know it may sound corny but wish we would all just band together and say no more and not stand for bad behavior. Like a child we let them act up, they have a hissy fit knowing they could do it again and how far they can push before anything is done. Well I am sick of bad behavior, I really am. It’s not about education its about the apathy. As long as the most uneducated person wants to help they can make a difference to someone or somewhere in the world, but apathy is where the problem lies. If it ain’t happening to me what do I care. Well there is nothing I can do about it I am way over here. So for those on this blog that are so negative, Try acting positive for a change, do something or say something to someone that will uplift them and inspire. Pretend your authority figure or whoever matters the most to you is standing next to you at all times and remember to use the filter part of your brain. Just think for a moment if your life was on the line and your rights were taken and country threatened what would you do. May God Bless you all and Angels surround you so that you and your families stay safe.

Cocoa59 Said on

What is wrong with Isreal any way?



Cocoa59 Said on

Joi, thanks for your input at least God is showing us that our people is trying to rise to power. At least the African union is trying to do better and speak for peace. Here we are on a blog a black blog as it is and still using our crab like attitude to keep the next person of color from rising up. Why woudl we even let the words come out our mouth and say “she makes Africa look bad.” I read in the article that the African union was calling Isreal to CEASE there FIRE. what’s wrong with that? When are we ever going to learn, to say something encouraging to each other for a change.
