Stay Safe~Please Read This

This is just SO important!!! Today I am making an off topic post, e.g. not about Palestine or Israel. Please, every one who reads this blog, take note and read this post. The recent outbreak of Swine Flu is spreading and getting quite serious now. The virus is now spreading from person to person. What can you do to protect yourself? Visit the World Health Organization (WHO) website where you can get the latest info on the disease HERE. I would suggest signing up for RSS feed there as well and also checking the travel advisories; all this can be done at the same WHO site front page.

A great little resource is the world “health map” which you can find HERE. Screen shot below. On this site you can customize the map to geographical locations. The photo below is for the swine flu only. Below the map on the site you can find latest alerts and breaking news.

HEALTH MAP OF SWINE FLU

ALERT AREA AT HEALTH MAP SITE

So please, people use these resources, keep yourselves well as I don’t want to loose any of my fellow bloggers and Palestine supporters, we have too much work to do to Free Palestine. And, of course, I'd miss you all :)

STAY SAFE AND STAY WELL!!

Shot by Israel~American "Hanging by a Thread"

Tristan Anderson "Hanging by a Thread"



Here is the latest update on peaceful protester Tristan Anderson who was shot by Israeli Soldiers in the head. Rhetorical question here; “Why are Americans not outraged that Israel has attempted to murder yet another American?” I mean seriously, let us not forget the USS Liberty and all those men who have never seen justice. And what about Rachel Corrie? Her family will never see justice either. Why? Because Israel is America’s “friend.” Makes no sense does it……..With friends like these, who needs enemies I say.

U.S. activist Tristan Anderson 'hanging by a thread' after being injured in protest on Israel border

An American activist critically wounded by an Israeli gas canister in the West Bank is "hanging from a thread" after brain surgery Saturday, friends said.

Tristan Anderson, 38, a "tree-sitter" from Oakland, Calif., was hit in the forehead when troops shot tear gas during a protest of the separation barrier between Israel and the West Bank village of Naalin.

"He's really touch and go. He's hanging from a thread," friend Paul Larudee told the San Francisco Chronicle

They traveled to the West Bank to rally against the Israeli-erected barrier that could cut off Palestinian villages from valuable farmland.
