Comment on Israel: Collective psychosis by Rashedujjaman Khan

I think it shall be a good step if the Israeli troops stop killing unarmed Palestinian people. These two states are no match regarding military power. When some one knows that he can not stand in front of another power but the other is constantly torturing him, he is compelled to rise against it. Who is the accused here? Of course the more powerful group.
I am not telling that, what the Palestinians are doing is right, but the cease fire and other steps towards peace should be taken from the more powerful side.

Comment on Tata Nano - the buzz and the facts of the $2200 car by OP(TUS) PAWAR

yes- incomes in dollers may be lower-
but see the index of happiness and content-india be taken as an example of true life and nano is a chapter from the same humble attempt to make this world more comfortable. Public transport of india is much more people friendly then anywhere else. one can reach from one corner of this big country to other in $40 by air, $20 by a/c train,$7 by train and monthly multiple journey of 100 km in $2. If advanced countries stop paying doles but provide cheap basic ammenities and easily available health care systems - it willbe better for masses then showing bulk monetary revenue and GDP figures… without malice to any one..comparisons need to be drawn in a relative term…cars are not required by all people-one/two in a family…that too if public transport is not handy…for india NANO is best thing in these times & roads will be redone gradually…keep hope india is at right track..long live democracy..sons like tatas, ambanies , kalpanas, sainas,mittals,sehwags & gandhies will continue to add to its ever lasting glory…..keep it up

On a historical perspective, Bangladesh Awami League has always been against the country’s Armed Forces. Perhaps on his foreign masters’ prompting, Sk. Mujib wanted to replace Army with the infamous “Rakki Bahini”. I wonder how a self-respecting political party opposes the existence of the Armed Forces, which are the symbols of country’s soverinty & independence. This brings us to the fundamental but a painful question: was Sk. Mujib REALLY for an independent Bangladesh, in the first place? Or a Bangladesh subservient to other country? Awami leaders’ behavior & actions during the last 37 years point to the second option. I’m afraid, they are probably forgetting the very genesis of the Bangladeshi people’s socio-cultural ethos and moorings. This could be a costly mistake, as it was in August, 1975!

I don’t know who were involved or why. I just hope truth will be reviled and the culprits will be punished by hanging.
I feel sad for people who will be found involved because I know they also have their families, many of them have small kids who will lose their father. But I feel they did not show any sympathy to those people whom they killed (officers and civilians) so why they expect sympathy from us?

Human Rights Watch (HRW), a New York City based non-governmental organization, which sent a letter to Bangladeshi Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina Wajed only few weeks back with the plea of dismantling Forces Intelligences of Bangladesh Armed Forces, has issued a fresh statement on the February Massacre, which took place inside Bangladesh Riffles (border security guards) headquarters in Dhaka, killing large number of Army officers, thus leaving numerous wounded and abused.

According to international news media, United States based Human Rights Watch urged Bangladesh’s new democratically elected government on March 19, 2009 to end human rights abuses, saying there was widespread torture and intimidation in the country.

“The human rights situation in Bangladesh is poor. There is widespread torture and security agencies get away with murders, tortures and intimidations … there is a culture of impunity that must be ended,” Brad Adams, Asia director for Human Rights Watch, told a news conference.

“We expect the new government to keep its promises to address all these problems and this is what Bangladeshi voters expect.”

Hasina told parliament recently that “Suggestions and opinions of the rights organizations will be duly incorporated in the government policy to uphold human rights.”

Earlier on the day, Bangladesh government announced that it will hold court martial for paramilitary border guards involved in a mutiny last month in which more than 80 people were brutally murdered.

Nearly 200 members of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) have been detained for the revolt over wages that began on Feb. 25 at the headquarters of the paramilitary force in Dhaka and then spread to a dozen other towns.

“We have decided to try the mutineers under court martial, as the BDR is commanded and managed by the army regulations,” Shafique Ahmed, minister for Law, Justice and parliamentary affairs told reporters.

“It will be ensure justice,” he said.

The revolt, which lasted 33 hours and ended after the rebels laid down their arms, stoked concerns over the stability of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s two-month-old civilian government. (cont.)

Perhaps Palestinians should stop lobbing rockets at Israel every other day. That would be a good first step towards peace.

The Israeli Jews have psyched themselves into believing they are the only human beings of value in the Middle East, and entitled to the land because they can make better use of it than their arab neighbors. Israeli Jews want palestinian land and Palestinians refuse to give up their land. Therefore, Israeli Jews are murdering Palestinians for their land and justifying their crime by dehumanizing Palestinians and rationalizing that Palestinians are terrorists plotting to kill Jews. Many Israeli Jews follow Zionism, an ideology that is racist with a stated objective of enlarging Israel’s border boundaries. Zionism is very similar to nazism, and helps to explain Israel’s racist and terrorist policies and tactics used to control the Palestinians.

Sadly, Israeli Jews believe they are above the law and can do whatever they like without facing consequences. This attitude has been reinforced by the failure of the US and UN to take action against Israel for its atrocities and war crimes on the Palestinians, while punishing other countries for the same offenses. Moreover, the US supplys the money, weapons, and intelligence that are used to support Israel’s brutal occupation of the Palestinians. The US also provides cover for Israel’s lies and vetoes all condemnation and punitive action against Israel in the UN.

The US is harming Israel by supporting its wrongdoing. Eventually, the Arabs, Iranians, and Palestinians will turn on Israel and there will be nothing the US can do to stop WW3, which will ensue.
