More countries cut ties to Israel over Gaza, "Israel a terrorist nation"

More countries are accusing Israel of participating in "state terrorism" against "the most weak and innocent human beings: children, women and the aged and called for Israeli leaders be tried before an international court for crimes against humanity. They furthermore urged that Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert be declared war criminals. This is in addition to the recent calls from European, Arab and Asian nations as well as Australia and New Zealand calling for a war crimes investigation into Israels activities.

Venezuela announced Wednesday it is breaking diplomatic relations with Israel over the conflict in Gaza, joining Bolivia, which did the same thing earlier in the day.
Bolivian President Evo Morales announces Wednesday that he is severing diplomatic ties with Israel.

Bolivian President Evo Morales announces Wednesday that he is severing diplomatic ties with Israel.

In the announcement issued by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, the government cited "the gravity of the atrocities against the Palestinian people."

The statement accused the Israelis of having "ignored, systematically, calls from the United Nations, violating in a repeated and shameless manner the resolutions approved by the overwhelming majority of their members and placing themselves ever more on the margin of international law."

I'd like to point out that my reporting what i find in the news about Israel is only to keep it fresh in the minds of people as well as to inform the US public, since the US media is pretty well one sided in their views of Israel. Millions of people, probably hundreds of million--are very upset with what Israel has done and collectively as a peaceful people, we do not want Israel to get away with it.

For the most part, including myself, we are NOT antisemitic and we are NOT for ANY violence. You can say all you want, and myself and many others will not even entertain your name calling, or your propaganda. We know of the Israel government and Israel Lobby propaganda machine and just reading how they manipulate facts literally gets me sick.

Some of the name calling by some is indicative of us being involved with the terrorists. If that is so, maybe a visit by your local government is in store for you since you have of some evidence of "criminal" activity on these blogs. We can arrange for the visit if you insist. It'd make our day!

We are merely red hot mad at Israel for the inhumane treatment and murders of many innocent people as well as how Israel trapped and set up the Palestinians almost two years before the slaughter and right after the original cease fire agreement (18 months ago) by closing all borders and not allowing any life sustaining supplies to be shipped in. According the the UN this is in itself an act of war to ANY country. Gaza was and is under siege all this time.

So, we respect your opinions and welcome debate...serious debate and you can call us anything you want. BUT....Call us terrorists or in cahoots with Hamas or any other so called "terrorists" organization and I guarantee you will have a 'special' government visit to write your report of your "evidence" you say you have. Then you can face the ramifications of your actions.

If Israel wants to start treating the innocent Palestinians like PEOPLE and give them a FAIR and BALANCED Peace deal, we're with Israel 100%. In our opinion, Israel is more of a terrorist then any other organization or country and has committed far more crimes, more horrible than any others against civilians and Israel will pay for these crimes thru the criminal courts throughout the world.More countries are accusing Israel of participating in "state terrorism" against "the most weak and innocent human... more

The American Fertility Association launches campaign to educate younger women.

When I first read the title of this article "New Fertility Campaign Targets Younger Women" my knee jerk reactions was "what women are just baby factories? we have to just make kids? whats this all about?!" then I actually read the article.

The AFA is starting a program to educate younger women about infertility diseases which can greatly affect your life outside of having kids. I myself suffer from two of the most common ones, Edometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) so this issue is very close to my heart.

Women are not properly educated on their reproductive health, which as I mentioned, effects a lot more than you ability to give birth. Even if you never want children you have to on the watch for infertility diseases since they can cause a myriad of other health problems. Whats sad is gynecological health isnt really discussed much in this country because anything to do with the female reproductive system is viewed as "dirty" and "taboo." Younger women often dont consider their reproductive health because they just assume that nothing can go wrong until they hit their 40s and have to start watching for menopause or breast cancer. Many women develop gynecological diseases in their teens and 20s that can cause infertility if not caught early. I myself was diagnosed at the age of 15 with Endometriosis and PCOS at the age of 18. Many women I know have lived for years in pain due to undiagnosed fertility related diseases simply because both they and their doctors are not educated enough on gynecological diseases.

What the AFA is doing is creating a safe and non threatening environment to engage younger and encourage them to be more proactive about their reproductive health. Although the campaign unfortunately seems to put a little too much focus on the biological clock and thinking about pregnancy, I applaud it for trying to get women engaged and educated on their own bodies.

Read the article and let me know what you think...should young women be engaging in discussion on reproductive health? Or is it putting too much pressure on having kids?When I first read the title of this article "New Fertility Campaign Targets Younger Women" my knee jerk reactions was... more
