The Truth of Q.E.D
Mar. 23rd, 2009 09:58 pmI've been a bit down the past few days.
Saturday I was busy and didn't really notice anything.
Yesterday I was a bit out of it, though I enjoyed meeting friends I hadn't seen in a while at Uni and in my own Town.
Today I woke up feeling a bit phlegmatic and worn.
I'm pretty sure it has to with the good ole' biological... stuff... the female body tends to go through on a monthly basis, but... still, it's affecting.
It's probably also to do with the weekend's News stories.
I wrote about the teaser to the soldiers' testimonies being published - We're all right, we're okay / you only think we act this way! - and having read the articles... to say that it made me feel bad is probably an understatement.
The whole Week End Ha'aretz edition was chock full of everything that is and went wrong with the IDF during Operation Cast Lead and beyond.
The main articles to read, if you want to are ( under the cut )
More articles can be found at the on-line Week End Edition of Ha'aretz from the weekend of 20th of March here - Week's End 20/03/2009.
All the above was written this afternoon, but I didn't a get a chance to post to LJ.
More and more information and articles concerning IDF violence has been coming in and I'm having trouble keeping up.
I'm putting here a few more articles, sans quotes, because in a way it's just more of the same, but it must be noted and must written down somewhere that can be accessed by as many people as possible.
IDF troops used 11-year-old boy as human shield in Gaza.
Rights group: IDF killed 16 medical workers during Gaza op.
IDF soldiers ordered to shoot at Gaza rescuers, note says, with a picture of the note, for those who can read Hebrew.
A bit off tangent, but still connected with the issue - Israel using excessive force against protesters.
In an interesting coincidence, I had to read an article about National shame for a seminar I'm taking at Uni.
I think the only thing I can say is Q.E.D.
