I keep thinking "this" relates to "that" and the next section is on just the topic. The Oklahoma City bombing and the insistence that this was perpetrated my "Middle Eastern terrorists", for example.... From the moment that happened, I felt it was more
more...
likely to have been domestic terrorism than "Muslim extremism".
As a side note, a point which I have made over and over again, prior to the 9/11 attacks, there were news reports here, for at least a month, that the US State Department was warning of attacks (including "specific targets") which would likely occur on or around 9/11. As a matter of fact, I was talking with a friend the day before (9/10) and mentioned the news reports.
In the wake of 9/11 the US and the White House was swearing up and down that it was a "complete surprise".

I recall listening to a radio interview (I think it was on radio, not TV) with a group comprised of Israeli and Palestinians who replant olive trees in Gaza and the West Bank after the Israeli Army (and, often, settlers) bulldozes them. They maintain
more...
that the Israeli Army makes it a point of bulldozing the trees (under the guise of eliminating hiding places for terrorists) specifically because they know that olive trees, even a single tree provides and income to the Palestinians. They maintain that planting trees not only provides economic help to the Palestinian communities but it is a symbolic gesture to the people, as much as the Army's destruction of the trees is as much a symbol of tearing them down is both economic and symbolic.
In fact, the Torah specifically forbids the cutting of trees of the enemy: "Even if you are at war with a city ... you must not destroy its trees" (Deut 20:19)
If you have ever seen an olive grove, you know that, in fact, it provides no cover nor is it any "shield". There is only one 2 reasons that the army would cut a grove down and that is for economic reasons and symbolic.
In some cases, trees have been uprooted and transported to be sold by nurseries in Israel, for a substantial profit - a profit not garnered by the Palestinians who have been divested of them.
There are a number of groups, now, planting trees. Various Christian, Muslim, Israeli, non-denominational, and multi-denominational groups are actively involved in both the planting of trees as well as fighting against the destruction of the trees.

I think Siad's work is important and the way he talks about how people think of other cultures and identity.
There was another video i wanted to upload but it was too long. He was talking about how the Current media and administration, talk about being
more...
under attack from Religious Extremists. When they are at the same time Funding 20ton (Jewish Israeli) bulldozers to demolish the homes of defenseless people just because they don't share the same religion as them.

I use both RealPlayer and Downloadhelper which is an add-on for Firefox. There are some things you can't download on RealPlayer that you can with Downloadhelper.
