I’m inspired to share this video with you by a comment that I made in trying to discourage any discussion of Israeli / Palestine, Jews, Arab antisemitic issues on Agmates Forums. As you will gather I feel very strongly about these issues: The comment:
.
I’m no expert on the middle east, but I do know there is bugger all love lost between the Jews & and Arabs or is it the Jews and the Muslims.
Either way, it is not something I have any interest in discussing on Agmates. I’ve been to Dachau Concentration camp in Germany, seen the gas chambers. One of the most disturbing days of my life.
The absolute gut wrenching disgust I felt for the human races to ability to commit genocide against another ethnic group based on religious beliefs, skin colour or culture is a manifestation of mankind’s purest evil.
We in Australia have no concept of the madness that grips a nation of people who engages in or condones ethnic cleansing i.e. Nazi Germany, Cambodia, Kosavo, etc. etc, etc
So if you don’t mind - lets not go there on this forum?
.
So here is one of the greatest songs ever performed about the evil of war and the madness that can sweep nations:
James Blunt - No Bravery: Blunt was a Lieutenant in the NATO force that responded to reported human rights abuses by Yugoslavian forces in Kosovo. He wrote this song as a result of what he saw.
I’ll admit this song stirs very strong emotions every time I hear it.
Update 5pm: Comment by Jeff:
“Thanks Steve, That brings you back to reality very quickly, with James Blunt’s rather eerie vocal and the frightening graphics. I get a similar effect with the video of “Miss Sarajevo”, U2 and Luciano Pavarotti.
The banner at the end, held by the beauty pageant contestants says it all “Don’t let them kill us”
Your right Jeff - thanks and here it is.
U2 & Luciano Pavarotti - Miss Sarajevo
