Cancun-Mexico: Delegates meeting in the Mexican resort town this week to discuss climate change policies have expressed grave concern that the rising see levels resulting from global warming threaten to eliminate 50-75% of Israel’s most reliable allies in the UN’s General Council.
The nation of Marshall Islands is expected to be the first to go with its 61,000 strong south pacific population soon fleeing due to rising salinity in their drinking water sources.
Marshall Islands is one of the four reliable “No” votes usually registered against UN resolutions condemning Israeli human rights violations. Along with the United States, Micronesia, and Solomon Islands, the latter two expected to be flooded at later stages in the first half of this century.

ReplyDeleteYou might want to see this new movie by John Pilger . The war you don't see
In his usual unapologetic style , J.Pilgwer confronts and challenges some of the media propagandists ,it's fascinating albeit disturbing . for ex:
During World War One 10% of all casualties were civilians
During World War Two the number of civilian death rose to 50%
During the Vietnam War 70% of all casualties were civilians
In the war in Iraq, civilians accounts to 90% of all deaths .
The killing of civilians and wilfully causing great suffering is a war crime
