Facts Americans need to know about Israel/Palestine

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:10:45 GMT

It is the goal of If Americans Knew to provide full and accurate information on this critical issue, and on our power – and duty – to bring a resolution.

123 Israeli children have been killed by Palestinians and 1,050 Palestinian children have been killed by Israelis since September 29, 2000. (View Source)

1,057 Israelis and at least 4,862 Palestinians have been killed since September 29, 2000. (View Source)

8,341 Israelis and 32,744 Palestinians have been injured since September 29, 2000. (View Source)

During Fiscal Year 2007, the U.S. gave more than $6.8 million per day to Israel and $0.3 million per day to the Palestinians. (View Source)

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the world’s major sources of instability. Americans are directly connected to this conflict, and increasingly imperiled by its devastation.

Israel currently has 223 Jewish-only settlements and ‘outposts’ built on confiscated Palestinian land. Palestinians do not have any settlements on Israeli land.

Not All Antivirus Programs Are Created Equal

Another issue with antivirus programs is the size of the processing footprint they exert. A number of common programs have very large footprints and will significantly slow down your computer -- especially on startup. It is worthwhile asking about and understanding the effect the antivirus program will have on your particular computer.

Georgia's Pres. Proclaimed Attack on S. Ossetia (Aug. 7th)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:08:27 GMT

clipped by: blueridge
clipper's remarks: Here is the hard video proof that Georgia announced ITS ATTACK on South Ossetia on Aug. 7th, making Georgia the admitted aggressor. Argue with Georgia' s President if you do not like the plain facts that it shows!

Why did not the "liberal" US media show you this? Ask them!

Please let your Congressmen know that this documented proof contradicts the MSM and US government propaganda that has painted Russia as the aggressor in the Georgia conflict, while Russia responded to their attack on South Ossetia.

Conclusion: The same bi-partisan people, in government and media, who sold you the Iraq lies for war are selling lies about Russia for the same neoconservative agenda (and to get Georgia into NATO).

Definition of Science

Science is the study of regular objective phenomena through empirical induction and logical deduction. The scientific method consists of observation and measurement, induction of hypotheses and deduction of consequences, experimental or empirical testing of those consequences, reproducibility of results, and competition for agreement in the marketplace of ideas.

Discovery is the learning of a principle or fact that was already in effect. Invention is the creation of a method or mechanism that was not already in operation. A hypothesis is a rigorous explanation that has not already been proven. 'Theory' can mean either a proven or unproven hypothesis. A fact is a synthetic proposition that is demonstrably true. Principles and facts are discovered (not invented) because they were already in effect. Theories are invented (not discovered) because the explaining that they constitute was not already happening, even though the principle they describe might have been.

It's the narrative, stupid

Listen long and hard to the talking heads on TV and you'll hear that phrase echoing down through the cable-vision canyons, bouncing off the walls and endlessly repeated by reporters, bloggers, and water-cooler savants: It's the narrative, stupid.

The meaning – and danger – of the narrative was masterfully demonstrated in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. The facts were tossed aside, or else cherry-picked and arranged in such a fashion as to mimic the truth while telling a brazen lie.

Visions of mass death, imprinted on the popular imagination by the events of 9/11, were projected on every surface, and Congress was stampeded by fear – and, for the War Party, a fortuitous episode of anthrax-in-the-mails – into passing the so-called PATRIOT Act

When a good narrative is overused, it becomes counterproductive, and the War Party's story line with a Middle Eastern background is surely getting a little frayed around the edges.

Olive oil

Like avocados, olive oil has healthy fat that increases satiety, taming your appetite. But that's hardly its only slimming feature. "Research shows it has anti-inflammatory properties," Kraus says. Chronic inflammation in the body is linked to metabolic syndrome.

Eat more Drizzle your salad with olive oil and you'll increase the antioxidant power of your veggies, a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition notes. Or toss pasta with a few teaspoons of olive oil, fresh basil and sautéed garlic, Kraus suggests. Add this oil to your summer menus for a flatter tummy by fall.
