Green Zone from Nimrod Zin on Vimeo.

Green Zone a 20 minute long documentary, exploring Israel’s discriminatory policies in occupied East Jerusalem. Since 1967 urban planning has been used by the Israeli establishment as a tool to contain the growth of the Palestinian population in the mixed city. The impact of these policies has been catastrophic for many Palestinian residents, resulting in an average of 100 house demolitions every year.

The film incorporates interviews with Israeli and Palestinian residents, architects, journalists and politicians, in an attempt to present this complex situation, which has significant ramifications to the whole peace process.

my husband and i are currently spending two+ months in israel/palestine living with my best friend, emily. i just posted in my journal about some of the work we are doing while we are here, and i thought others might be interested in reading it.

here it is.

in solidarity,

Police shoot U.S. student's laptop upon entry to Israel



I’m sorry but we blew up your laptop (welcome to Israel).

Well fans looks like the IT office has magically found those missing e-mails that talk about the lead up to the War of on Terror that BushCo. had been missing since 2005-6. Only a year and a half late, after Chimpy has left office. It required two seperate lawsuits against the WH IT staffers who were employed by BushCo. to find them. Of course there is a kicker behind this as well, even after they've been found, the earliest that they will be seen by the public for viewing is 2014. According to former Chimpy office spokescumbag. So it looks like we will still never know the full extent of the lies told to the public and who was involved in setting up the WoT as well as behind the scenes events going on. CREW and the National Security Archives are both digging through the e-mails, but they are being screened first for security measures to prevent disclosure of National Security interests.

This roughly translates that the NSA historical archives are making sure that the records are scrubbed of politically sensitive/explosive news that would show how far that Chimpy had gone down the rabbit hole. Between the supposed statement that the former President of France commenting that Chimpy believed that America was battling the daemons Gog and MaGog and that they were allies with Sadam Hussein. To the fact that there actually no WMDs or direct ties to 9/11 and Iraq people will have to wait even longer to try and place BushCo behind bars. But it will make sure that any of the future chances of the Bush Dynasty to try and head into the White House will be severally curtailed because of the damage the e-mails will show how psychology unstable Chimpy was and that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I trully wonder how badlythe damage to the Republican party if those e-mails do become public and could embarass other GOP members and if they lead to C Street and other Religious Reich movers and shakers who were involved in BushCo. WH. Some people of course want to see them now, mainly CREW and I can't blame them for it. I would also like to see who those e-mails went out to and where they went. I can understand if they were just regular correspondence between WH staffers and their associates. But because it seems there was and is still a lot of intentional secrecy involved with these e-mails taking so long to become public. They may be damaging to political individuals who have had inproper influcence on Chimpy and the rest of the WH as well as Congress.

I find it amazing the level of asshattery that comes from people that don't recognize the service of female miltary personnel who have served side by side in places in like Iraq and Afghanistan. Instead they are treated like shit by the VA and their communities when they return from combat or in the field. Here is the latest chapter in this story and hopefully you pass this along in your LJs and elsewhere to let people know that women have and do serve in combat roles and need to be treated equally to their male counterparts in dealing with issue like PTSD, Sexual Harrassment/Assault and other problems related to combat injuries. Female Veteran's Homecoming and life after the services.
