Those men from the Iraq detachment get all the new good stuff. New Kevlar "Fritz" helmets, brand-new desert camouflage made out of better fabrics, new bulletproof vests, better communication devices, night visions.......Things I couldn't get my hands on during my days in the army.

Most of the 3,000 detachment would be reconstruction troops including army medics and engineers, and about 1,300 of them(mostly composed of Army Special Forces, Marines, Air Assault troops, and other infantry soldiers)would assume the responsibility of the security and order in the region. The new detachment was named "Zaitun", or olive in the local Arab language.

Good luck for those guys, but they'll need more than that, I'm afraid.

Hierbij werd Arend Langenberg geboeid en gemaskerd, terwijl de teamleider van de inval constateerde dat hij in de verkeerde tent zat, “ze lijken allemaal zo op elkaar!” bleek dat de grap geslaagd was. Een deel van crew was er behoorlijk van geschrokken, de DJ en producent waren vooraf op de hoogte gesteld.

Video (http://www.nkusa.org/Media_Clips/Hirsh-Arafat16Sept03.cfm)


The above photograph conveys many messages. Among them the following:

1. The willing acceptance by the Jewish People of their divinely ordained state of exile and their preparedness to live humbly under the auspices of the indigenous peoples of any country in which they find themselves and this includes, of course, the Palestinians in Palestine.

2. The Zionist ideology and aim of forcing the existence of their sectarian State is the exact antithesis of the above and the photograph indicates a vehement protest agains this ideology and aim.

3. A declaration of the realization by Orthodox Jews of the wrong perpetrated against the Palestinian People and their deep sympathy for their suffering.

4. A live example of how Jew and Palestinian can live together in peace and harmony.

5. A strident reminder that the only way to real peace in Palestine is the peaceful dismantling of the Zionist State.

"Yasser Arafat, he's my best friend, my brother!" These are not the words of a Palestinian nationalist, but of Rabbi Moshe Hirsch, who has lived in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Sharim for 50 years.

Hirsch, who says he was born in New York "sixty something years ago," belongs to a tiny minority of ultra-Orthodox Jews called the Neturei Karta and, somewhat unusually, advocates both a Palestinian state and Palestinian passports for its citizens.

He and his followers reject the idea of a Jewish state before the coming of the Messiah, and say the State of Israel is a "sacrilege because it was founded on secular and nationalist bases."

Israelis "exploit Judaism for their own selfish purposes, they challenge God, they exploit the Bible and the land. If you take the land from its indigenous people, there'll be havoc, and it's not over yet," says the rabbi in his son's modest home, the walls of which are covered with volumes of the Talmud.

Yet it is the sickle and the hammer. The nationalist colour-scheme must just be the confusing factor. Red for the socialism/social-democracy, white for the pure ("clean") blood, or something like that.
