FiM in The Middle East: Miscarriage of Justice



"We know that such measures increase hatred between the two peoples, but we have to defend and protect our civilians."
Amira Aron, director of the Arab Media Department in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacting to reports that pregnant Palestinian women are often prevented by Israeli forces from reaching hospitals to receive appropriate medical attention, causing many miscarriages and the deaths of some women. Just how the Israelis hope to protect their civilians by increasing Palestinian hatred is beyond me!

FiM-Iran (Halo-tosis)


Partial translation (courtesy Online NewsHour): "On the last day when I was speaking before the assembly, one of our group told me that when I started to say 'In the name of God the almighty and merciful,' he saw a light around me, and I was placed inside this aura. I felt it myself. I felt the atmosphere suddenly change, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink. When I say they didn't bat an eyelid, I'm not exaggerating because I was looking at them. They were astonished as if a hand held them there and made them sit. It had opened their eyes and ears for the message of the Islamic Republic." Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad describing his 2005 speech at the UN General Assembly.
