I took these photos at "The Dreaming" in may this year which is a international event in Queensland celebrating Indigenous music. Natalie (wearing the Plains style headdress) is lead singer in the multicultural (including African and Pacific Indigenous)band "Blue King Brown":<br /><br />http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=238125966&albumID=1368955&imageID=19071045<br /><br />Although I cringed as soon as I saw it no-one else 'appeared' to mind. I credit her for making a speech notifying everyone of a new highway development threatening a sacred site in northern NSW. She finished the concert by stating "remember you are never alone when you are standing up for your people or your planet!"Lynetteahughes - LOL!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-67764849625454612152009-06-26T16:55:22.515-07:002009-06-26T16:55:22.515-07:00The so-called Palestinians (not even called such u...The so-called Palestinians (not even called such until 1967) could not force Israel to do something she's not doing. Israel is illegally occupying NOTHING, & in violation of NOTHING. Trying to keep a lid on daily rocket bombings is NOT oppression. You have got to stop reading propaganda (did you know they consider Jerusalem & Tel Aviv "illegal settlements", too? Did you know that Israel provides the BULK of water, electricity, food & medical services to the so-called Palestinians?) just because they SAY they are like Native Americans - they are nothing of the kind.<br /><br />Israel is the only one who has ever upheld any end of any bargain ever signed by the so-called Palestinians. Read Oslo, read the Road Map - & read Wye, if you want to understand just how LITTLE they want their "own state": they were offered 93% of everything they asked for, & equivalences for everything else - & Arafat turned it down. You ask yourself "why?" It just may have something to do with the 900 MILLION dollars his widow has in her bank account, gotten straight from US & EU handouts.Iron Chef Kosher!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09038646928071099417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-29354345886166812452008-08-07T03:01:00.000-07:002008-08-07T03:01:00.000-07:00Palestinians have forced Israel to oppress them? ...Palestinians have forced Israel to oppress them? Did they also force Israel to occupy Palestinian territory illegally in violation of UN resolutions 242 and 338?<BR/><BR/>The so-called invasion of Israel would go away if Israel stopped building illegal settlements in Palestinian territory, withdrew from the illegally held territory, and seriously negotiated a two-state solution in good faith.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-50591063400539292542008-08-01T02:55:00.000-07:002008-08-01T02:55:00.000-07:00As for "Palestinians Dress Like Faux Indians to Pr...As for "Palestinians Dress Like Faux Indians to Protest Israeli Oppression", the Palestinians forced the Israelis to institute these roadblocks and the searches and slowdowns through such incidents as the Palestinian government <A HREF="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Peace/ambulances.html" REL="nofollow">using ambulances secretly as troop transports</A>.<BR/><BR/>With the Palestinian government violating any concepts of decency and respect for civilians or the importance of unhindered medical transport, the roadblocks and inspections are a very reasonable reaction and precaution.<BR/><BR/>Hardly "oppression", and the roadblocks would go away if the Palestinian government did not use the roads as part of its invasion of Israel and its oft-stated goal of exterminating Jews.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
