Talking Bardem....A few months back I put this on my wall: Javier Bardem, the actor who was nominated for an Oscar for his villainous portrayal in No Country For Old Men and also as the villain in the latests Bond movie has made a documentary about the plight of the people made refugees from their own country the Western Sahara: Son of the Clouds documentary [see link below]. Javier was on Channel Four News [UK] yesterday promoting it and talked about it. It is a forgotten conflict that we should know about. Will Howley 2011, I posted this on my wall: It is a great pity that the righteous issue of Palestines Statehood is an opportunity for some to vent a spleen of antisemitism disguised as opposition to the way the Israeli Defense Force, the Israeli Government has behaved, or the continued building of new homes in occupied territories that so many oppose. After the murdering of 9 Turkish humanitarian activists on the cruise ship Mavi Mari last year the IDF and the Israeli government tried to defend their actions. A poll in Israel taken just after the disaster showed that over 35% opposed and condemned what was done. Last month a poll in Israel showed that 80% of Israelis do not support the Prime Minister? An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere Martin Luther King Jr. Antisemitism and the treatment of Palestinians is equally an injustice, and most Jews in the diaspora would agree. We have to be measured, honest and real? Below is a piece I wrote over a year ago to remind some Facebook members that the situation of the appalling treatment of Palestinians was unacceptable and it was before the Arab Spring as some in the Muslim world are very selective of facts? Have a look at the wikipedia link on the POLISARIO FRONT. Since the 1970s the UN has recognized the Western Sahara as a a valid independent state. Their flag is almost identical to that of PLOs. The difference is with the exception of Algeria the Muslim world have forgotten or ignored this struggle that has cost over 44.000 lives. The peoples of the Western Sahara are banned from speaking their own language under penalty of death, similar to General Francos treatment of the Basques in Spain, or the British in Ireland. Yes, the world needs to look and condemn the state of Israel and what military actions are taken by the IDF in the populations name. Many Jews in the Diaspora condemn Israels actions and treatment of their fellow Semites, the Palestinian Arabs. Hysterical reactions, revenge and violent retribution only serves the fanatics on both sides of the occupied areas of Palestine/Israel, whether is be GAZA, Nablus, Rammala, Jenin. To call Israel a fascist state is ignorance and only serves to fuel a hate we have to stop, all of us? youtube/watch?v=ccYhQc6BNLo
