Caution:  Graphic gore in the video and adult language in the commentary.

From LiveLeak

One of my StumbleUpon friends sent me an article from Little Green Footballs.  This is the propaganda we are getting from Hamas out of Gaza Strip.  It is a video displaying the aftermath of an explosion in a crowd aired on Palestinian TV.  It is described as an IDF attack on civilians on Palestinian TV then gets spread around the web.  The problem is, the video was originally recorded in 2005 from a weapons parade accident.  The Palestinians did this to themselves.  3 years later it is edited and rebroadcast as a current attack by the IDF.  On Reddit Politics there is a link with the following title and description.

1 day after it is linked on this site, it is answered by an adept debunker.

So, that should be the end of that, right?  Wrong, enter the disinformation crew online.  The guy that posted the video lets it stay though he concedes it is propaganda.  Its too late anyway.  The damage is done.  Its all over the net and getting thousands of hits in each location.

The video has gone viral and the vast majority of people who will view it will now believe the propaganda.  Most of the following comments were made after the correction was made on Reddit.  With the proof staring them in the face, they still believe this crap because they WANT to.  Its a blind spot most of the world is willingly contributing to and participating in. 

One of my old singles group friends called me the other night which I was unable to answer, but I called her back tonight and we had a discussion on Israel and Palestine.  She wanted to know what I thought about Barak Obama, but the conversation quickly turned and went for about a half hour.  Our singles group was based in my home church and all the members were Christians and most of us were really dedicated to reading, knowing and employing the scriptures in our lives, including this lady.  Our politics have always been at odds so we weren't agreeing on anything.  As we were going through our talking points, she recommended a book of the works of the Jewish historian Josephus from around 70 AD.  "It will shift your paradyme."

I'm supposed to believe, as she apparently does, that the horrible way the Jews treated the Arabs in their midst 600 years before Muhammad is why Israel can't get along with their neighbors today.  Scales!!  When Saul, a Pharisee was riding around the country looking for Christians to put in jail where they would be tried and stoned to death, he had an encounter with Jesus.  The same Jesus who'd been hung on the cross and buried.  God directed another man to come and pray for him because he was struck blind and when that man had prayed for him, something like "scales" came off of his eyes.  Muhatma Ghandi famously said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."  Dear sir, they already are blind and willfully so.  Some are blinded by hate and the rest are blinded by political correctness equating all religions and all societies and all cultures.  One can't be better than the others because THAT makes war.  BULLSHIT!!  Pulling down the best and giving excuse and credence to the worst makes the bad ever more capable of perpetrating evil.  Evil makes war and if you're not willing to even name evil, much less fight evil, then evil will prevail.  In the name of Allah, directed by the Qu'ran, Islam is militantly expanding its bloodthirsty culture into their neighbors' territory, into host nations of immigrants, and onto the world stage.  Islam is evil.  Not every individual Muslim, but the theopolitical culture and ideology and it must be defeated.  It can't be just disarmed or the world will become like Israel, subject to daily attacks against civilians.  It must be so soundly dessimated that the Muslims never want to see Muslim aggression in their own ranks, ever again.

Just a sample.

In Christendom we have a saying.  Know Jesus, know peace..... no Jesus, no peace.  Radical Islam is, and always has proven just the opposite for its faith.  This study is historically and empirically supported. 

It is a shame on Islam that the house of war knows more peace than the house of peace where Muslim upon Muslim violence claims more Muslim lives and stifles economic success than all the Crusades and the military actions of the last century in Muslim lands, combined.  You are following liars, your media and your scholars and your clerics are propagating a massive conspiracy of hatred and blame on the West for the evils perpetrated on your people by your people.  Break the stranglehold of fundamentalism and Sharia and call into accountability your leaders and informers.  Some of you have access to the same information I do, and it is your responsibility to make the truth known to your people just as it is mine to my people.

These facts are opening the eyes of the peace activists and moderate factions in the West and their hatred and prejudice currently set squarely on the religions of the West will be redirected toward Islam and will be far greater than the so called 'crusaders' at work in Muslim majority lands today.  Lies from Western and Eastern political leaders, Islamic religious leaders, news agencies, and embedded Muslim scholars in our institutions of higher learning are being revealed with the advent of the internet where people can now have information within minutes of events.  The more 'in the news' violent Islam makes itself in current events, the more the public educates itself in the history of Islam and begin to shout down the ignorance of our so called tolerant and their sources of false information. 

These revelations source anger and hatred toward beneficiaries of the lies which cause great personal and financial cost to the formerly ignorant West.  Brothers, fathers, and sons are dying needlessly, economic malaise for tax dollars and corporate profit results in funded Muslim aggression toward the rest of the world needlessly.  The end result will be a world wide movement to eradicate Islam and in that day, the farce of the 'house of peace' will pop and the resonance will be heard till the end of time just as the farce of Hitler's super race resounds to this day. 

An incentive to know our neighbors around the world is found in military conflicts.  If we can understand one another, then perhaps we can avoid ticking one another off to the point we are desiring to kill one another.  This is not always the case and this is the problem with the bumper sticker mentality that 'war is not the answer.'  Sometimes there simply is no other answer.  Common sense makes it the last resort but there will always be times when war is the only answer left.  In the following videos, we see and hear witness testimony of why war is the only answer in the cases of fundamentalist Islam in many regions around the world and indeed, within our own culture now that we have the beginning fruits of multi-culturalism.

Theater director driven out over gay marriage

From intimidation tactics to outright violent attacks are being perpetrated on the organizations who supported Prop 8 all across this nation.  This is terrorism and in every case, if the roles had been reversed the legal actions that would have been taken not to mention the media coverage that would have been dedicated to 'informing' the public would have sparked an outrage that would have undermined any credibility of those organizations.  However, since the crimes are being committed by a protected group, the media have been all but silent and in at least one case the commentator equated the criminal activity with that of the victims of that crime calling both sides hate filled and angry.

This episode of obfuscation is but one more step toward the outright persecution and expunging of religion and conservatism in our land.  City councils have in the past condemned the religious organizations for their stance on the issue of family values in opposition to calling the same sex relationship equivalent and God ordained marriage.  We are headed for dark times in this world as believers.  Though there are official gay voices denouncing this behavior, they are being drowned out by the vast numbers of very vocal proponents of their agenda.

"We are going to see, I think, unprecedented attacks against our faith through measures like the hate crimes [legislation] to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act," he says. "We're going to see attacks on innocent human life through the Freedom of Choice Act, trying to erase all the gains that have been made in the pro-life movement. And I think even our freedoms are going to come under attack." 

Please act immediately to defend the pro-family victory won in California last week when the people of California passed a constitutional amendment (Proposition 8) by a 52%-48% margin to protect marriage as the union of a man and a woman.  Since Election Day, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has made statements supporting demonstrations against Proposition 8, and urging California 's Supreme Court to block the amendment's enforcement.

History Of Man:  from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage – Alexander Tylers

The great cycle of faith living can be modified, interrupted, as seen in the several Jesus movements over this past century.  The Azusa Street outpouring and many other examples were exactly that.  A movement back toward Christ and the faithful church.  We who believe should first pray and then act in accordance with the Spirit who guides us.  It is very likely that the California Supreme court will again try to thwart the will of Californians to support this lobbying agenda to ruin everything this country was built upon.  Its not just the issue of homosexual marriage, its naming pornography free speech and devaluing the life of every human being.  There is so much more going on than destroying the family values that have made and kept this country strong.  Eventually, it will come down to the demonizing of our world view.

It is true that I disapprove of abortion.  I know that this practice kills more than one million babies every year.  I know

It is true that I disapprove of the homosexual lifestyle.  I know that this behavior is self destructive and millions of people suffer damage and disease to their bodies in its practice.  I know that the gay lobby in America is pushing its acceptance into every corner of our culture including our schools' kindergartens.  I know that this push is making our children's gender identity malleable and perverting their innocent psyches before they are ready for knowledge of such things.  I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing homosexuals.  That is what would demonstrate hate.  My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in this faith so they can learn that this behavior is harmful to our society as well as to themselves.

It is true that I disapprove of the religion of Islam.  I know that this religion has not been hijacked, that it practices the concept of justifiable deception, and that it requires its followers to institute world wide Sharia Law.  The same law that requires unequal treatment of women, blacks, and unbelievers.  I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing Muslims.  That is what would demonstrate hate.  My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in my faith so they can learn the source of real peace rather than Islam's brand of violent domination and overthrow of differing faiths and governance.

It is true that I disapprove of socialism.  I know that this is the stepping stone toward Communism, Maoism, and basic despotism including regimes like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Polpot, and countless others.  I have studied a little history and seen that the end of this ideology of building a utopia on earth is always, always the last step before re-education camps, Gulags, genocides, and so-called freedom wars against free and successful societies.  I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing socialists.  That is what demonstrates hatred.  My faith instructs me to invite socialists to join me in this faith so they can learn that people are inherently evil and must fight their own natures so they can live together in peace.

Hatred is not demonstrated in critical speech just because the speech is critical.  Hatred is demonstrated in speech and actions that intend harm.  Actions like keying cars, stealing burning or otherwise destroying political yard signs spray painting threats onto a candidates garage door firebombing a billboard or any of a hundred other examples is a form of intimidation.  Actions which intimidate others for their views is an abuse of their right to freedom of speech.  Hatred is demonstrated in speech which is intended to intimidate as well.  Do not confuse hatred with an opposing view on what's good for our culture and society.  Do not equate criticism with hatred.

Remember Berkley City Council attempting to kick the recruiters out of the city?  They aren't done abusing their authority yet.  Here's a representative of Vets for the War in Iraq being interviewed by Glenn Beck.  Glenn is reporting on Berkley's Council decision to grant Code Pink a specified parking permit directly in front of the Marine's recruiting center in Berkley.

Remember what it took to make the city council back off of their attempt to have the Recruiters thrown out?  The uproar by all Americans and their insistence that Berkley's federal subsidies be canceled.  Perhaps they still need to be canceled.  This is an abuse of their authority to express their personal feelings toward the military personnel.  This also demonstrates their hypocrisy in stating they are for the troops but against the war.
