“Restless: Which specific Texas oil company took over the Iraqi oil fields?”
Euronews didn’t specify, they just said that texan companies have already taken over the admnistration of iraq’s oil camps.
Food for thought.
I dont think that there is anything wrong with trying to compare Iraq to Israel. The onyl difference is that America backs one and not the other.
I would like to add that I am not a supporter of Saddam Hussein in anyway and I am glad that he has been ousted. I just believ that Israel has done some very heinous things. It is more than just a matter of LESS DESIRABLE STUFF. I know that Israel has a lot to deal with but thta does not justify the actions it has taken in dealing with these problems.
These are from an Amnesty International report.
Children killed in attacks on residential areas and as bystanders during Israeli state assassinations.
Israel has pursued a policy of extra-judicially executing Palestinians whom it accuses of having been involved in attacks on Israelis, instead of arresting them and bringing them to justice. Such practice is in breach of international standards. More than 20 children and 20 other bystanders have been killed during these state assassinations, in a policy which has been ordered and approved at the highest level of the Israeli government, including by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defence and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
On 22 July 2002, just before midnight, the IDF dropped a one-ton bomb from an F-16 aeroplane on a densely populated neighbourhood of Gaza city killing 17 people, including nine children, and wounding more than 70 others, many seriously. The children killed were: Ayman Raed Matar (18 months), Muhammad Raed Matar (three years), Diana Raed Matar (five years), Subhi Mahmud al-Hweiti (four years), Muhammad Mahmud al-Hweiti (six years), Dina Rami Matar (two months), Ala Muhammad Matar (10 years), Iman Salah Shehada (15 years), and Maryam Matar (17 years, seriously injured in the attack, she died on 15 August).
The attack destroyed the house of leading Hamas activist Salah Shehada, who was among those killed. Two other houses were completely destroyed, and four homes left uninhabitable. The Israeli authorities accused Salah Shehada of having been responsible for organizing a number of suicide attacks. Given the location of the target, in a densely populated civilian area, and the method of attack selected, those responsible for planning this attack must have known that civilians, including children, would be killed and wounded.
Children killed in demonstrations and as a result of reckless IDF fire
During the first months of the intifada children were mostly killed during stone-throwing demonstrations, though in many cases they appear to have been bystanders during these demonstrations.
Sami Fathi Abu Jazzar. On 10 October 2000 Amnesty International delegates witnessed the aftermath of a stone throwing demonstration in Rafah on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip. Israeli soldiers shot at a crowd of some 400 people, mostly primary schoolchildren, who were throwing stones at an Israeli military post. Sami Fathi Abu Jazzar was shot in the head; a live bullet entered his forehead above his left eyebrow, went through the skull diagonally and exited at the back of his head. He died the following day, on the eve of his 12th birthday. Six other children were injured by live fire in the same incident. Amnesty International delegates, including an expert in riot policing, concluded that the lives of Israeli soldiers were not in danger and that their use of lethal force was unjustified, as their position was not only heavily fortified, but there were also two wire fences between the post and the stone throwers, who were some 200 metres away.
Can someone plz go to Canada and smack Say?
United States=Good Guys,
I did some research about your concentration camps in Portugal and this is all I’ve come up with. There was a political prisioner camp in GREEN CAPE, a country in AFRICA, assembled by Salazar. This closely resembles a concentration camp, though not in the NAZI sense,BUT it was not in Portugal. You and I both learned something today, which is good. This fryday will be 29 years since Portugal became a democracy after the only revolution known, in modern hystory at least, that was done without any blood spilling. Congratulations to us.
