not many people know my latest weird and sudden interest in world war II or WWII, my favorite channel is the Asian History channel with favorite shows like Battle 360, Dog fights and anything WWII related.. i am even a proud pilot on Dog Fight on-line..
but the Holocaust remains the major hallmark of the war.. i was surprised to know that the Holocaust gave us many medical advancements that otherwise took decades to uncover; for example in the fields of pharmacology, physiology and brain-surgery..
yep, it is true.. if it wasn't for the Nazi's, we probably decades behind our current medical achievements..
i remember few months back.. an old man came to the emergency department crying for relief.. his bladder was full of urine but his urine-tract was blocked by enlarged prostate.. i took a foley-catheter and inserted through his, you know what; and the old man got relief.. an Indian man, educated.. insists speaking in English.. but the old man was unable to pee for a whole day..
i told him, the old man, did you know, uncle, that the Nazi's perfected the Foley-catheter that is draining your day-worth of urine.. yeah, its true.. sure, it was invented by an American doctor named Foley back in the 1930's but the Nazi's took it to a whole new level.. they used to insert the Foley catheter in order to fill the bladder of their prisoners with water as the mean of torture and interrogation.. kinda the apposite what we are doing now in our hospitals.. how ironic.. i am just happy that i finally got to use the word "ironic" in a sentence in its true concept and purpose!!..
true thing.. i always wanted to visit Auschwitz [link] a Nazi's concentration camp.. in a cold snowing night.. to get the feel of the evil and horror that lived in its wall during the WW-II.. don't get me wrong.. my logic is the same logic that brings people to the horror movies and brings people to read about other people misfortunes in the newspapers: War, Earth-Quakes.. and Paris Hilton lost her dog..
the Holocaust remains the hallmark of the war that keeps popping-out again and again.. from "Life is beautiful" and "Diary of Ann Frank" to "the Amazing Race: i forgot what season in 2007".. and the Jews made sure to remind us again and again.. The Holocaust, the Massada and the siege of Babylon..
i never watched "the Schindler's list" but there is an infamous 1972 Jerry Lewis film called "The Day the Clown Cried", in which Lewis directed himself playing a World War II-era clown forced to entertain Jewish children on their way to a Nazi gas chamber is a chilly sight to see..
what is the meaning of being Humans?..
i was in Thailand driving my car 2 years ago, unlike in Malaysia, the Thai Highways are mostly very wide, straight-line and for very long kilometers.. please mind that i usually drive 60 km/hr to 90km/hr and i obey traffic laws.. that day, i pushed my car to 140 km/hr.. in that speed, a small stone or a person in the middle of the road can easily end my life if not also others..
you know something by pushing it to its limits.. kinda the thing you do when you buy a new car.. let's see what the new car can do..
from what i can tell, Humans are group of a bipedal primate mammals who are marked by compassion, sympathy, and consideration.. but mostly, knowing the difference of right and wrong..
but don't let people tell you what to do or to think.. make your own judgment..
Israeli soldiers passing out candy to the kids..
Making sure they get to school..
Helping Ladies across the street..
Providing childcare..
Allowing them a place to rest (permanently)
Access to Healthcare.. (you may need to click the image to enlarge)
Construction projects (demolition)..
Respecting American and British pacifist resisters..
Respecting its closest ally - the US (click to open the link)
not to mention the entire world (click the UN logo for view)
during the period between 1967 and 2000, Iraq was the subject of 69 Security Council resolutions.. by comparison, Israel, US closest "ally" in the Middle East, has been the subject of 138 resolutions.. not surprisingly, most of those resolutions call upon Israel to comply with basic principles of international law embodied by the UN Charter.. Many of them condemn actions taken by Israel and call upon Israel on more than one occasion to comply with previous resolutions that Israel ignored and continues to ignore to this day..

and if you are not satisfied, now, with the truth the following pictures are war crimes as defined by the UN, The Hague and the Geneva Convention..
Access to health care (violation)
Using images of your enemy dead or alive (violation)
Human shields (violation)
Live Burial Torture (violation)
and a last resort, Execution (violation) (click to enlarge)but before we pass-out our judgment.. a country the size of New Jersey can claim to the following achievements:
- Israel has more museums per capita than any other country..
- Israel has the world's second highest output of new book per citizen..
- Israelis hold more patents per person than do citizens of any other country.. Israelis companies: Amdoc, Comverse and Nice Systems all pioneered voice mail, SMS and many cellular phones services.. in fact, the first cellular phone was developed at Motorola Labs in Haifa..
- Intel's Centrino processor was developed in Israel as well as Microsoft's Windows XP (not sure about Vista).. and the first Anti-Viruses software in 1979..
- Capsule Endoscopy (or simply Camera-pill) was developed in Israel.. BabySense a famous Israeli product aimed preventing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome..
- Israel by definition.. is a developed country.. and in the IMF high-income countries list..
and of course, uncle.. the Foley catheter..
some of you would ask.. am i trying to put Israel and the Nazi's Germany as the same level here?.. let me answer this way.. people are dying.. and governments are lying.. the real question is.. what can we do about it?!
PLEASE PASS IT ON TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE A HEART ..
LET THE WORLD SEE THAT WHICH THE WORLD MEDIA DOES NOT SHOW OR SAY..
PASS IT ON.. AND PRAY THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH NUMBERS AND ENOUGH GOVERNMENT WILL TO STOP ISRAEL..
i know what you are thinking.. talk talk talk.. nothing is done..
peace please >:-(
