 ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

 November 25, 2001

 Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

 This small story, and the pictures that go with it, need to be taken to
every Christian church on earth.  Together, they are more powerful than all
the platitudes the Israeli Firsters can come up with.

 The Captive Boy, A David or a Goliath?

 THE CAPTIVE BOY photo and article of October 7, 2001,
(http://www.whtt.org/010725pw2.htm) has been widely circulated and seems to
have hit a nerve among Israelis partisans and patriots. It has aroused
enraged replies, and thanks to an Israeli partisan website, you may now see
a photo of the boy throwing the rock that earned him eight hours in an
Israeli torture unit and a broken throwing arm! See how small Kamal is, and
note also the vehement response of the partisans and their bitter contempt
in refering to this frightened boy, "piss(ing) his pants"
http://www.israeli-truth.org/english/sinema.html

 The Israelis do not deny that they beat Kamal Ali As'idah and broke his
arm for throwing rocks. They even admit they tortured him! Instead they
chose to justify their acts on the acknowledged fact that the boy threw
rocks, and they produced an excellent picture of him doing it. However,
they don't deny this occurred in the boy's hometown, on his own
turf---where they are the intruders.

 We correctly stated in our story that 10-year-old Kamal did indeed throw
rocks and we even surmised that he probably got caught because he was too
small to throw very far. Torture of children is appearently Israel's
version of "AN EYE FOR AN EYE"(Exodus 21: 24).  Over 53 years this policy
has been "a broken arm, or much worse,  for throwing a rock, never mind
that you live here and we are the invaders."

 Under this Pharisaic system of "justice" thousands of children and
teen-age  men have been killed and maimed for life under "AN ARM FOR A
ROCK" justice.  American taxpayers pay for it, as we have shown time and
time again.

"We Hold These Truths" leadership is mostly made up of followers of Christ.
What  amazes and mystifies us is that this banal brutality is blindly
upheld by professing  Christians! Apparently it reinforces their idea of
Christian "tough Love," but it has  gotten twisted in the Israeli spin
cycle. We wonder what these would say if it  were their own child in
Kamal's place?

 Here is the boy, throwing the rock, compliments of an Israeli partisan
website.

 Thought for the Day:

 "Know you what it is to be a child?  It is to be something very different
from the man of today.  It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the
waters of baptism;  it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to
believe in belief;  it is to be so little that the elves can reach to
whisper in your ears, it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into
horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child
has its fairy godmother in its soul."
