When I proclaim that soldiers do not kill or die for my freedom, only Jesus Christ lived, died, and rose again, so that I may be free and live forever, I am simply stating my personal belief.

Everyone must find their own personal belief system to live by, even if you say you believe in nothing, that is a belief system, and you must hold tightly to it, or another belief system will replace it.

I do not mean to Torpedo/Drone strike the whole anti-war movement by using the dreaded "J" word.

Maybe the anti-war movement is more useless and meaningless than it appears, when it reacts so aggressively to any mention of Jesus Christ.

I do understand why this is, based on the history of so called Christians who have mass-murdered in the name of Jesus, and caused so much pain, suffering, division, and destruction, to so many innocent people around the world, but these mass-murdering war-mongering, people were false Christians, everyone of them.

On March 19, Sarsak began hunger striking for justice. Israel lawlessly imprisoned him under its Unlawful Combatants Law (UCL).

Without evidence, it's imposed based on "a reasonable basis" to believe Palestinians belong to a hostile group belligerently confronting Israel. Israel calls wanting to live free belligerent and confrontational.

UCL is similar to America's "unlawful enemy combatant" designation. Under America's 2009 Military Commissions Act (MCA), they're called "unprivileged enemy belligerents."

Sarsak threatens no one. He committed no crimes. He's a national hero. He plays for the Palestinian National Football Team.

The announcement by Iran's intelligence ministry that it has arrested 20 people associated with the terrorist operations in which two of the country's nuclear scientists were assassinated received the Western mainstream media's meaningful silence, but clearly demonstrated the influence and might of Iran's intelligence apparatus, giving a serious warning to the hell-bent enemies of the nation that their further plots and conspiracies can be immediately nipped in the bud.
