Today’s Shobak includes a series of links to Qana
killings, sent by New York/Ramallah based Palestinian
artist Emily Jacir.
I really have no notes to add today….
In Bengali there is a phrase:
“Olpo shok e kathor
Odhik shok e pathor”
[With some sorrow you writhe in pain
When sorrow is too much, you turn to stone]
That is possibly the condition of people witnessing
the continuing obliteration of the Middle East

Emily Jacir writes: From my friend Tony in Beirut
which he sent today:
I’ve got my own little Hiroshima right here in my
pocket. sometimes i take it out, i put it on the
table, and ponder. it will take us countless years
and several generations to grasp the immensity of the
catastrophe that has (and is) struck us- and these
women who now wear black, and who become more and more
numerous with each passing day- these women are not
only mourning their loved ones, but they are mourning
hope itself. Where are God’s angels when you need
them? I just want one of them to whisper in my ear
that things are going to be ok, maybe then i can
breathe again.
Tony
Shahid Alam:
Imagine waking up tomorrow in an upside-down world,
one in which the history of America’s relations with
the Arabs is inverted. Iraq is now the global hegemon,
the world’s richest democracy, a beacon of freedom;
Iraq and the Arab democracies dominate the world and
what was once the USA. Imagine that the Arabs have
used their power to replace a United States of America
with forty-four nominally independent states….What
would the Americans, now split, divided, corralled
into forty-six racial, ethnic and sectarian states do
if they found themselves in such a world? Would they
resent the surrogate despotisms that ruled over them
with Iraqi arms and money? Would some of their young
men, faced with overwhelming Iraqi power, resort to
suicidal attacks within Iraq itself?

http://rafah.virtualactivism.net/news/todaymain.htm
Israel’s “Operation Summer Rains” Offensive Includes Internationally Banned Toxic Weapons This is not new for Israel. Many of you remember the crazy gas that they were using in Gaza and the West Bank and the beginning of this Intifada. (James Longley captured footage of this in his film Gaza Strip) Also my latest email from a friend in Beirut says that they are now using phosphorous bombs in the south…

Also regarding the bullshit fake resolution that two american members are trying to pass in the house regarding the so-called persecution of christians by the Palestinian Authortity. Here is one story (from thousands) of who is really persecuting the Palestinians
Tina, the Palestinian American women beaten this week with her 17 year old son by an Israeli soldier on the border had a compelling story to tell us (see the images and read the details at:
