Little girl confronts soldiers with unworldly grace, courage and eloquence.

She’s Palestinian & the soldiers are Israeli but her message is universal.

The video is clearly post-produced to some extent, I’m trying to find the original and some more info & context. (*UPDATE BELOW, her name is Jana and she’s 6 years old )

Meanwhile it remains a powerful piece of video.

Please read the notes & comments too… and maybe use her courage to raise your voice against war & oppression

Angel of Peace

 

please send the video to your any politician you have a contact for…

Here’s more of Jana from our friends at Palestine Youth Voice

The important thing is to have the courage to care!

Jenny’s voice:
“All your armies, all your fighters All your tanks, and all your soldiers Against a boy holding a stone Standing there all alone In his eyes I see the sun In his smile I see the moon And I wonder, I only wonder Who is weak, and who is strong? Who is right, and who is wrong? And I wish, I only wish That the truth has a tongue….! “

Nuclear Waste – would you like some from West Australia too?

Click below for A sobering item from the US on waste as West Australia considers allowing uranium mining against the wishes of voters.

We need also to remember that in the years it will take to build any sparkling new nuclear power stations, the world economic dynamic will have changed so that truly clean and renewable alternatives are a lot more competitive and practical.

Please comment on whether we in W.A. should mine Uranium and send it overseas, sometimes to nuclear armed countries with unstable governments and with no clear direction on how to deal with waste that will still be deadly in thousands of years.

For other info on our “friend” uranium Google “depleted uranium Iraq” – be careful if you’re a sensitive soul – it’s not pretty and it’s very real for the children and families affected.

People in WA are now gearing up to remind the Barnett Govenrment why this state has been free from Uranium mining and nuclear power all these years – watch this space! You may also like to visit this youtube link

Yucca Mountain was supposed to be where the highly toxic material was sent. But Obama’s energy budget leaves it out.

President Barack Obama blogs too! And America please remember he didn’t promise “he” can, he said “we” can – so don’t leave it all up to him.

President to Muslim World: “Americans are not your enemy”

“My job is to communicate to the American people that the Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives,” President Obama told Al Arabiya, an Arabic-language news channel based out of Dubai. “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy.”

Barack Obama – just found this link to a collage of newspaper front pages

thanks to crikey.com.au for the following link

http://obama2008.s3.amazonaws.com/headlines.html?source=cmailer

it’s a massive collage of frontpage stories in the wake of the historic US. Presidential vote

the cynic in me is just waiting for the media to turn from adoring to damning – let’s hope the new President doesn’t get swamped by disillusioned folk who find out he CAN’T actually walk on water…but hang on – has anyone actually seen him NOT walk on water :*)

Obama offers hope

No matter what your politics, nationality, ethnicity or faith – you had to be impressed by that acceptance speech.

I remember JFK’s speech when I was a little boy and have revisited it often as an adult, and I believe Barack Obama’s words will echo longer and louder.

My fear is that cynicism, racism and just plain inertia from the established powers could snuff out the flame of hope lit today in a second, or starve it of oxygen over time.

Now is not the time to hang back and see how he goes in the US, but to get involved in positive change in our own countries and own ways because this is, as he said, is just a chance to make a change for those who follow us.

If you’re viewing this amazing event through the jaundiced eyes of liberal versus conservative, left versus right, it may take you some time to readjust your vision, but don’t be afraid, it’ll get better.

I don’t know about you – but the call and answer “yes we can” didn’t feel cheesy or reek of pop psychology at the acceptance rally – it just reminded me of the old adage for the sign on the gates of hell ” abandon hope all ye who enter here “

So if it’s alright with cynics and the partisan, I’m rapt we took door number 2.
