Warning: This video contains images that are not suitable for Children.Viewing is recommended for \'Mature Audiences\' only !With a few of the videos that I have produced, I\'ve been accused of spreading \'Propaganda\'. This video will no doubt attract the same criticism !\n\nI\'m not out to make friends or influence people. I can see we are on a path to self-destruction... and I am doing my best to prevent that from happening. I can assure you that I get no personal satisfaction or joy from producing these videos. To the contrary... I find it \'extremely stressful\'... and it is taking it\'s toll on me, both \'emotionally\' and \'physically\'.\n\nThe thing is, that I believe we need to be made aware of the consequences of our actions, if we are to learn from them. With the Invasion of Iraq, for example, the information provided by public media is insufficient to give a proper understanding of how our actions have affected the Iraqi People. With my videos... I endeavour to present the Invasion and continued Occupation of Iraq, through the eyes of the Iraqi People... and in doing so, help others to appreciate that everything isn\'t quite as rosy as what the media and the government would like us to believe !\n\nIn this current video, I am endeavouring to show an \'up close and personal\' perspectiveof Israel\'s actions toward the People of Lebanon and Palestine, over the past few decades. Actions which have been very heavily supported by the US Government, to the tune of \'Billions of dollars in Military Aid\' each year ! With such financial backing, it is easy to see why Israel believes it has the full support of the US Government, despite repeated \'Human Rights Violations by Israel\' in relation to the \'illegal Occupation\' of Lebanon and Palestine. Those very serious Violations have been the subject of numerous United Nations Security Council Resolutions... the majority of which were blocked by the United States !\n\nI see a lot of \'hypocrisy\' when it comes to the relationship between the United States and Israel... and their attitude toward Iran. Whilst I don\'t wish to get involved in a debate as to which country is \'the biggest Threat to World Peace\'... I am very muchopposed to the very severe Sanctions being imposed against Iran, in that they will cause extreme hardship (and death) to innocent Iranian Civilians, and may well force Iran\'s hand, as far as otherwise avoidable Military Action is concerned. I believe it is \'extremely unfair\' for such severe Sanctions to be imposed against Iran... whilst Israel continues to get away with far worse atrocities than those committed by Iran... and whilst the United States continues to support the Terrorist Actions of Israel, whilst accusing Iran of supporting Terrorism !\n\nOne thing I would like to clarify, before finishing this Introduction... is in relation to \'reported threats made by the Iranian President, as far as Wiping Israel off the Map\' is concerned. No such Threat was ever made by President Ahmadinejad. He was \'misquoted\'... and despite that knowledge... the United States Government and Israel are continuing to use the (purported) Threat as the basis for gaining Support for Sanctions and a Pre-Emptive Military Strike against Iran !It is my personal belief, that in the interest of World Peace... Military Action against Iran should be avoided, and the extremely severe Sanctions imposed against that country should be eased, to the extent that they do not cause undue harm to Innocent Iranian Civilians. Alternative action should be taken to prevent any (purported) attempt by Iran to acquire Nuclear Weapons... whilst at the same time, encouraging all Nations in possession of Nuclear Weapons... to disarm !\n\n\'Terrorism\' must be defeated. \nRecognising our own actions as being \'Terrorism\'... is a good place to start !!!\n\nIn conclusion... I ask United States Citizens in particular, to view/listen to the comments made during the 2008 AIPAC Conference.
