Yalla, Yalla, Ya Nasrallah

by Fishman & the Pioneers

 

You look like a hippopotamus!
You have the brains of a bird!
You may as well stay in your hole
because soon you will die!
You are simply a complete fool
with a severe megalomania!
You are a devil, or to make a long story short,
you are the scum of mankind!

 

Even if you launch rockets at us,
or threaten the Galilee
with your friends from Syria and Iran,
Even if you drop here more Katyushas
Know that there’s no despair around here at all,
Together we will overcome the Evil Trouble.

 

REFRAIN:


Yalla(*) Ya Nasrallah,
We will screw you Inshallah(**)
And send you back to Allah
With all the Hezbollah!
Yalla Ya Nasrallah,
go away ya garbage
It’s already been sentenced from above
That this is your end.

 

You are pathetic, you are small
and resemble an orangutan!
You have lice on your beard!
and soon you’ll be out of here!
You are a dead cockroach, you are skunk,
you are running out of breath!
The IDF is asking just after you to
burn you up in fire.

 

REFRAIN..

 

So listen good, ya pathetic Hezbollon’chik
and be prepared, because soon all the IDF
with the Apaches, the F-16s, the battleships,
the missiles and the tanks,
the commandos, paratroops, Golani, Giv’ati,
all of them! All of them are coming to visit you!
So take a few deep breaths, and enjoy them
because they are your LAST ones!
Ya Kahlb!
(haehae~^^)

 

REFRAIN..

M.E.전쟁 - 승리.. #5

Poll: Majority wants Olmert out (8.25)

 

Yedioth Ahronoth(*) poll shows majority of Israeli public believes government failed in handling Lebanon war, Olmert, Peretz, Halutz should go home; Likud gained from war deficiencies

 

Political earthquake: A poll published on Friday in the Yedioth Ahrnonoth daily shows that 63 percent of Israelis feel that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert failed in managing the war in Lebanon and should resign.

 

Only 29 percent believe the prime minister is fit to continue leading the country.
 

About 74 percent of those polled said Defense Minister Amir Peretz mishandled the war and should resign his post. A mere 20 percent said Peretz should keep his post.
 

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Dan Halutz faired slightly better than his superiors with 54 percent saying he should resign over the army's failure to knockout Hizbullah, while 38 percent said he should keep his post.

 

Some 25 percent of respondents said former defense minister Shaul Mofaz is most fit to lead the defense establishment.

 

Labor MK and former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon was the second most popular figure for the post with 20 percent of support, followed by former IDF chief Moshe Ayalon with 10 percent and Israel Our Home leader Avigdor Lieberman with 8 percent.

 

Only 3 percent of respondents said Peretz is suitable for the job. Only 5 percent of those polled said Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu should fill the defense post.

 

Twenty-seven percent of those polled said they support early elections as opposed to 20 percent who said Olmert should form a national unit government. Only 19 percent said the government should stay in its current formation.

 

Netanyahu favorite for PM

 

Sixteen percent of respondents said Labor should be ousted of the government to make way for a right-leaning party, while 14 percent said Labor should stay but the coalition should be broadened to include right-wing coalition partners.

 

The poll showed that should elections be held today Likud would gain 20 parliament seats, a significant improvement from the 12 seats it currently holds.

 

Kadima on the other hand would drop from 29 to 17 seats.

 

Labor didn't fare much better than Kadima with the poll showing a huge drop in support for the party. The poll showed the left-wing party dropping from 19 to 11 Knesset seats if elections were held today.

 

Support for right-wing rivals Israel Our Home increased with projected results showing the party would gain 17 seats in elections. The party currently holds 11 seats in parliament.

 

Asked if Olmert and Netanyahu were the only two contestants in the election race, 45 percent said they'd vote for the latter and 24 percent for the former.

 

The poll showed that if elections were held today Netanyahu would earn the support of 22 percent of voters, followed by Avigdor Lieberman with 18 percent and Shimon Peres with 12 percent.

 

Olmert earned a mere 12 percent in projected election results.

예루살렘 증후군..

Following article was already published 8.08 in the French daily Le Figaro, but only yesterday I found it on Indymedia Germany.

In my opinion the article is very interesting, even I don't agree with everything in it. But I think it might be an important part for the current discussion about the situation in the Middle East..

 

The Jerusalem Syndrome

 

by André Glucksmann


From surrealistic geopolitics to apocalyptic delusion


The outrage of so many outraged people outrages me. On the scales of world opinion, some Muslim corpses are light as a feather, and others weigh tonnes. Two measures, two weights. The daily terrorist attacks on civilians in Baghdad, killing 50 people or more, are checked off in reports under the heading of miscellaneous, while the bomb that took 28 lives in Qana is denounced as a crime against humanity. Only a few intellectuals like Bernard-Henri Lévy or Magdi Allam, chief editor of the Corriere della Sera, find this surprising. Why do the 200,000 slaughtered Muslims of Darfur not arouse even half a quarter of the fury caused by 200-times fewer dead in Lebanon? Must we deduce that Muslims killed by other Muslims don't count - whether in the eyes of Muslim authorities or viewed through the bad conscience of the west? This conclusion has its weak spots, because if the Russian Army - Christian, and blessed by their popes - razes the capital of Chechnian Muslims (Grosny, with 400,000 residents) killing tens of thousands of children in the process, this doesn't count either. The Security Council does not hold meeting after meeting, and the Organization of Islamic States piously averts its eyes. From that we may conclude that the world is appalled only when a Muslim is killed by Israelis.

 

Should we thus presume that the public at large implicitly endorses the ideas that Ahmadinedjad shouts at the top of his lungs? And yet so many of those sceptics who display consternation over bombings in Lebanon seem shocked if you suspect them of anti-Semitism. I want to trust them. We don't want to imagine that the entire planet is mired in anti-Jewish paranoia! But then the matter becomes even more puzzling. What is the source of this hemiplegia? Why is the world frightened by Israeli bombs alone?

 

Perhaps the reason why the deaths in Lebanon are so disproportionately shocking as compared with the starving people of Darfur and the ruins of Chechnya is that they are seen as a surrealistic geopolitical signal. Anyone who follows the news in Gaza or Qana does not simply count the dead on a particularly violent day - rather, the coffins of these victims encircle the aura of a fatal promise - a promise that the hundreds of thousands of corpses from Africa and the Caucasus have no chance of approaching. Haven't legions of experts - for decades now - identified the Mideast conflict as the centre of the world's chaos and the key to its pacification? Is there any diplomat who does not repeat ad nauseum the formula about the gates to a hell of future wars versus the gates to world harmony, all of which open in Jerusalem? A never-changing script haunts 21st century minds. The script maintains that everything is decided on the banks of the Jordan. In its most grim version, that means: As long as four million Israelis and as many Palestinians are facing off against one another, 300 million Arabs and 1.5 billion Muslims are condemned to live in hate, bloody slaughter and desperation. And the rosier version: We just need peace in Jerusalem to put out the fires in Tehran, Karachi, Khartoum and Baghdad and to set the course for universal harmony.

 

Have our sages gone crazy? Do they really believe that sans Israeli-Palestinian conflict nothing bad would have happened, neither the deadly Khomeini Revolution, nor the bloody Baathist dictatorships in Syria and Iraq, nor the decade of Islamic terrorism in Algeria, nor the Taliban in Afghanistan, nor the angry warriors of God the world over? The sad, reverse hypothesis is seldom posed, but it is actually much more likely: Every truce along the Jordan is fleeting, as long as the palaces and streets, the majority of the intelligentsia and the officials of the Muslim world hang on to their anti-western passion. Globalization (which entails the dismantling of economic barriers but more importantly all social and mental barriers) necessarily leads to tough and terrible defensive reactions. The development of anti-western ideologies in Germany, from Fichte to Hitler, does not depend on the foundation of the Zionist state. The anti-western affect is constantly renewed in Russia, from the tsars to Stalin and on up through Putin. And it would be naive to presume that the Iranian lust for power, in search of its Khomeinistic force de frappe, uses the "Jewish question" as anything more than a pretence for a universal Jihad. Does anyone think that the green subversion, after erasing Israel from the map, will mark its success by laying down its weapons?

 

A hypocritical geopolitics, which ordains the Mideast as a basic pillar of the world order, has become the religion of the European Union, the belief of the unbelievers and of the doubters of the west. Post-modern thinkers have no justification in proclaiming the end of all ideologies. In fact, we are swimming in an ideological illusion and have secretly exchanged our deceptive hopes for a final battle with a fearful incantation conjuring a catastrophe to end all catastrophes, that is just as absolute. While our head swarms with surrealistic ghosts, our heart perceives, in every photo from Lebanon, the death of humankind. Jerusalem is only the centre of the world because it is considered the centre of the end of the world. Our illusions feed on apocalyptic notions.

 

And so every Mideast conflict is like a rehearsal for the end of days. Just look at the undefinable war of cultures, if you need convincing. And anyone taking that position is resigned to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The years of bombing of Israeli cities by the rockets of the Party of God become a foretaste of the Iranian godfather's promised destruction. And so, as Clausewitz already noted with irony, it is not the aggressor who starts the war. Instead it is he who steps in to stop the aggression. So Israel is guilty. Guilty of a collectively fomented fantasy of the end of days. From surrealistic geopolitics to delusion - just one step.

M.E.전쟁 - 승리.. #4

 

VICTORY!! ...but for whom??

 

While Hezbullah is claiming victory over IDF and predicting the "beginning of the end of the Zionist entity(a.k.a. Israel)" and the "entire Arab/Muslim world is praising Hezbullah's victory"(CNN Int'l), in Israel the discussion about the last Lebanon war and its results is still continuing.. and escalating.

 

Today the Israeli bourgeois daily Yedioth Ahronot published following contribution by R. Ben-Yishai:

 

Hizbullah was better

 

Hizbullah fighters fought more effectively than IDF soldiers

 

The balance sheet of the second Lebanon War certainly does not point to an IDF victory. Even in points, it's closer to a loss than to an achievement, when taking into account the home front's extended suffering.

 

Indeed, in light of the relative UN good Security Council resolution we received, and possible positive future developments in Lebanon itself, we were not defeated. However, what happened to us is very similar to the defeat suffered by the American military in Vietnam and Iraq, and to the one suffered by the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and the Russians in Chechnya.

 

I covered some of those wars. I saw from up close how guerilla fighters overcame the most powerful, modern armies in the world because they knew how to fully utilize their intimate familiarity with the war zone and the local population's support.

 

Yet this isn't the only reason. The guerillas won also because they received unlimited material, planning, and moral support from a patron country or countries.

 

Another reason: Guerilla fighters consistently avoided a head-on clash with overwhelming air and ground forces and were not embarrassed to run away and hide when needed.

 

Finally, the guerilla fighters were more highly motivated than their opponents and willing to sacrifice their lives.

 

Israeli arrogance

 

Regular armies stood helpless in the face of guerillas because they failed to formulate an effective combat tactic that would neutralize the "hit and run" advantages of the Vietcong and Mujahideen, and because military units on the ground lacked real-team tactical intelligence that would allow them to take advantage of their superior fire power.

 

The final straw that led to the militaries' defeat was the heavy losses they suffered without being able to reach a phase where the end of fighting could be seen on the horizon. This is almost precisely what happened to us in Lebanon.

 

There's plenty of arrogance in the common perception around here that the failure in meeting the ground offensive's objectives was entirely the result of the failures of the political echelon and senior commanders to properly utilize the army.

 

This argument underestimates the enemy's capabilities and advantages and assumes that had we taken determined decisions and the logistical operation had worked smoothly, we would have won.

 

This is not the case, however. In my estimate, the ceasefire prevented an even greater ground offensive fiasco. Even if it's unpleasant, we must admit the fact that the IDF did not achieve victory not so much because of the failed conduct of its leaders, but rather, because Hizbullah was more effective and determined.

 

Hizbullah's intelligence better

 

The Shiite organization developed and implemented a combat method that takes maximal advantage of its natural advantages as a popular militia that operates within its natural habitat. Hizbullah also designed its future battlefield through an intimate understanding of IDF vulnerabilities.

 

The group prepared in a manner that allowed small cells to take cover and than appear at the time of their choosing equipped with anti-tank missiles, which enabled them to hit tanks and homes used by IDF infantrymen as cover.

 

More significant even was the tactical intelligence information gathered by Hizbullah members before, and particularly through, the fighting.

 

Their information was of better quality than that possessed by the IDF simply because Hizbullah's information gathering was undertaken through the use of eyes and binoculars on the ground in proximity to our forces, and not through pilotless drones and other sophisticated means, which failed to identify, in real-time, rocket launchers and small Hizbullah cells moving from one bunker to the next.

 

Hizbullah made sure each cell of fighters was able to gather intelligence independently, both for the purpose of accurate rocket attacks (by watching Israeli television reports) as well as for the purpose of fighting IDF troops inside villages (by using observers.)

 

IDF troops, on the other hand, walked around the villages as if they were blind, because the tactical information gathered before the war was not shared. Moreover, while in the villages, intelligence forces did not gather information methodically.

 

Frustration can lead to reform

 

We should also acknowledge the following reality: Hizbullah commanders and fighters were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to complete missions, while IDF commanders and cabinet ministers were virtually panicking every time they received casualty reports and attempted to prevent human losses as if this was the military objective.

 

A large part of the contradictory, changing orders relayed to troops resulted from this syndrome. At the end, because of the desire to avoid casualties, we suffered even more losses.


We must be merciless in admitting that Hizbullah succeed because it fought more effectively than the IDF in a mountainous area and through a total willingness for sacrifice. When facing those factors, the IDF has no proper combat tactic, just like the Americans and Russians, which would allow it to successfully respond to a super-guerilla featuring the characteristics and equipment of a modern army.

 

However, failures are also an opportunity. Deep frustration gives rise to an authentic, powerful demand for fundamental reforms. There's no point in fixing minor flaws here and there.

 

What we need is the total enlistment of the State of Israel , both in terms of finances and thought process, so that the IDF quickly develops and implements operation combat methods, unique combat means, and effective tactical intelligence that ensures different results in the next round.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3294340,00.html

 

 

To be continued soon..

 

BTW: This discussions are taking place not in the basements of Israeli "dissidents"  or deep in the political underground... It takes place in the open public, even in the f.. bourgeois media. Please keep this in mind(more about it, I'll write later)!!

레바논: 전쟁다음에 #2

Following article was published 8.18 in the German(bourgeois) magazine Der Spiegel:

 

Hezbollah's Leader
 
War Turns Nasrallah Into a Cult Figure

 

The military conflict in Lebanon has ended with a cease-fire. No proper peace treaty has been signed. Still, Hezbollah is celebrating the ceasefire as a victory over Israel. Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah has achieved cult status among the Middle East's Islamic radicals -- and he's become more dangerous than ever.


One of Hezbollah's public relations teams has attached a poster saluting non-Arab speakers by the highway leading to Beirut airport. It's not one of the usual improvised yellow-and-green posters or banners, the ones that show Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah smiling mildly. It's a perfectly normal ad -- large and properly paid for. The message is clear: The poster celebrates "the divine victory."

 

Nasrallah and Hezbollah's Katyushas(in a Christian school in Beirut)


Similar images have been shown on Hezbollah's TV channel Al-Manar for the last two days. Computer-animated hands reach up from the rubble of southern Lebanon to make victory symbols. Then a band begins to play. Men dance among the devastated houses of southern Beirut. The lyrics are flowery and don't make much sense -- but the word "victory" is mentioned over and over.

 

Nasrallah -- the militia leader, the spiritual authority, the face of resistance -- is omnipresent. Freshly printed posters featuring his likeness and images of Katyusha rockets have been plastered up all over the country. As Lebanese soldiers preparing to patrol southern Lebanon assemble by the banks of the Litani River, entire caravans of buses draped with Hezbollah flags rush by. The windshields display pictures of Nasrallah, and loud battle songs -- Hezbollah's new victory hymns -- can be heard from inside.

 

Everything's prepared for the Hezbollah militants when they return to their hometowns -- the militia's PR teams have done an amazing job. Almost every bombed-out building sports a Hezbollah flag, and large banners hang across the streets to help villagers form an opinion of what happened during the last few weeks. The banners say the massive destruction isn't Hezbollah's fault, and that Hezbollah has won the war by giving its all to battle Lebanon's enemy.

 

"Made in the USA"

 

Others are to blame for the devastation, the Hezbollah propaganda insists. "Made in the USA" is an especially popular motto along the approaches to some heavily bombed villages. Posters hanging above mountains of rubble ask a rhetorical question: Is this what comes with the democracy everyone talks about in Israel? Other slogans celebrate "victory over the murderers" or simply "the Sheikh's victory." This is Hassan Nasrallah's sweet revenge.

 

It's tempting to see the post-ceasefire victory celebrations as propaganda. But Islamic radicals in the Middle East agree that this cease-fire marks a cesura in their history, even if it's temporary. Nasrallah ordered rockets to continue to be fired at Israel until the very end, and he still controls southern Lebanon. Israel didn't achieve its goal of destroying his militia. Even an internationally renowned magazine like The Economist featured the headline: "Nasrallah Wins The War."

 

Nasrallah in the bus(Tehran)..

 

..and in the stadium(during a qualifacation game for the Asia Cup, Iran)

 

The Israelis never got near Nasrallah himself, either. He managed to make public statements several times on TV, and observers expect him to make a staged appearance before throngs in a Lebanese street during the coming days. The Israelis can't kill him now that the cease-fire has started. So no matter what direction the peace process takes, Nasrallah is alive and will lead his militia. His place in history books -- somewhere between the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Saddam Hussein and Syrian President Bashar Assad -- is secure.

 

Avenging the Palestinians?

 

Respect for Nasrallah was also evident in speeches given by the presidents of Syria and Iran. Both praised his "struggle." The critics of Hezbollah's assaults on Israel, such as Jordan's King Abdullah, were silent. Abdullah as all too familiar with the mood in his country, where Nasrallah is suddenly being celebrated as the avenger of the Palestinians. It's not wise to criticize a new cult figure like Nasrallah -- who knows what might become of him?

 

Nasrallah's rise to glory is the climax of an unusual career. He was born in the slums of Beirut in 1960. His parents saved the little money they had so he could attend a private school, where he was known as a devout Muslim. When civil war broke out in 1975, Nasrallah was 15. He was quick to escape to Iraq, where he attended an Islamic seminary in Najaf. Not much later, he moved to Qom in Iran. He was considered charismatic there and attracted considerable attention.

 

Nasrallah, who is addressed as "Prime Minister Nasrallah" by his followers, is not a religious fanatic. He never moved far up in the clerical hierarchies of Islam because he wasn't all that interested in the Koran. His former schoolmates describe him as hard-working but not particularly talented. Nasrallah is, however, an experienced politician: He regularly visited Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri for tea before the latter was assassinated. It was always possible to reach an agreement with the Shiite leader, Hariri once said.

 

Nasrallah has been an important political factor in Lebanon for years now. He's even met United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, once, as the leader of Hezbollah. Timur Gocksel, who was for many years the leader of the UN forces stationed in southern Lebanon, describes Nasrallah as a pure pragmatist. "He was hungry for knowledge," Gocksel recalls. "He had always read the paper. Of course he was interested in Israel and military matters, but he read about many other things too."

 

A policy based on hatred for Israel

 

The struggle against Israel became Nasrallah's life work. He adopted the religious and ideological positions of the Iranian elite under Ayatollah Khomeini and the present Iranian spiritual leader Ali Khamenei, and he's long been seen as someone who represents Iran in Lebanon. Just after he took control of Hezbollah, the first Katyusha rockets began flying into Israel.

 

He likes to provoke: None of his speeches would be complete without a rant against Israel. His 18-year-old son died fighting the Israeli army in 1997. Nasrallah spent days negotiating the return of the corpse. But he also created a propaganda legend: Hadi hadn't been dead for 24 hours when his father turned up at a Hezbollah celebration. "We win honor for ourselves when we send our sons into battle," he cried out. "And we stand upright when they die."
 
At the peak of his power, the leader of the Shiite militia isn't likely to go soft anytime soon. He'll probably become more dangerous than ever, both in Lebanon and beyond. Whatever he says will be taken up by Islamic radicals. Whatever he writes will be read by hundreds of thousands of people. Without meaning to, Israel has created an enemy that may be larger than Hezbollah.

 

Israeli intelligence agents are already concerned that radical groups such as Hamas might learn the keys to success from Hezbollah. The very structure of the group -- half militia and half social movement -- worries Mossad members. Most of all, other groups could learn from Hezbollah how to avoid infiltration by intelligence agents and develop strict discipline.

 

The flowery speeches from politicians in Lebanon during the last few days give an idea of Nasrallah's importance. No matter which political party the speakers belong to, they all make an effort to please him, directly or indirectly. They're out to win his support -- or at least prevent him and Hezbollah from doing anything extreme for the time being. This means that his power is already greater than the two Hezbollah ministers in the Lebanese cabinet suggest. Nasrallah will be sure to use this influence.

 

Given this situation, the international community will have to consider how it deals with the sheikh. So far he hasn't shown any inclination to give up the weapons held by his troops or allow them to be disarmed. If such a measure were forced on him, he would no doubt start a new confrontation in southern Lebanon -- which means the man from the slums of Beirut has the leverage, even in a United Nations-sponsored peace.

병원노동자 투쟁..

It seems that all two years S.Korea is facing a real, or at least potentially increasing confrontation between unionized hospital/medical workers and their employers (better you call them exploiters!!). And no wonder that the conflict continuously is increasing, sometimes escalating: continuously the employers are refusing to meet the main demands of the workers(aeh~ actually like usually..).

At least since 2002 hospital/medical workers are demanding better work conditions, 5-days working week and real work contracts for irregular workers.

 

Already in later summer 2002 I joined some demonstrations and rallies during the first nationwide strike of S.K. hospital workers. At that time the government and the employers sent thousands of riot cops to smash the strike. KCTU wrote this, among many other articles, leaflets.. about the strike:

5,000 Hospital Workers Strike in Solidarity 

 

 

Hundreds of strikers and their supporters were arrested(including my ^^friend..) during the struggle.

Hospital Workers' Sit-in at the Myongdong Cathedral
Some of the activists called this struggle "Our 9.11"!! 

 

 

About this struggle at that time I wrote short reports for Base21:

http://base21.jinbo.net/show/show.php?p_cd=205&p_dv=0&p_docnbr=22528

http://base21.jinbo.net/show/show.php?p_cd=205&p_dv=0&p_docnbr=22627

 

Two years ago, in June 2004, we, migrant workers, at that time in sit-in strike in Myeong-dong, joined the strike of hospital workers. ETU-MB wrote also about it at that time:

6.09/10 struggle report (hospital workers general strike) 

 

 

Now two years later S.K. press is reporting that in this week a new round of struggle for the nearly same  demands hospital workers were/are struggling since 2002 will begin:

 

S. Korean hospital workers to go on strike this week

Tens of thousands of hospital workers will go on strike as planned this week to press their demand for higher salaries and better working conditions, their union said Sunday.

The Korean Health and Medical Workers' Union said it has decided to launch the walkout on Thursday after 73.6 percent of its 26,630 members voted for the strike.. (Yonhap, 8.21)

 

Health Workers Opt for Strike (K. Times, 8.20)
 

The Korea Health and Medical Worker’s Union, with workers at 113 hospitals nationwide, voted to launch a general strike this week, after failing to resolve a dispute with management representatives over wages and working conditions.

 

Announcing the results of a three-day vote Saturday, the union said its walkout will start next Thursday, after nearly 74 percent of those voting approved the industrial action. More than 26,600 of the union’s 32,000 members participated in the vote.

 

The union is calling for a 9.3 percent rise in salary, permanent employment of temporary workers, and the implementation of a five-day workweek.

 

The union said if the management refuses to alter its position, there will be strikes starting from 7 a.m. Thursday, taking place in each hospital lobby. Both the management and union were close to an agreement, but still differ over three issues. The management has refused to accept the union’s demand for a salary hike, citing a lack of money.

 

There are 113 union branches, with workers at hospitals such as the Korea University Medical Center, Ewha Womans University Medical Center and Hanyang University Medical Center. In 2004, the union went on a general strike for three days causing inconvenience to patients through long queues.

 

However, the government said while the event will bring some discomfort, there will not be as much ``chaos’’ as there was two years ago..

中國同志..

..CHUN-HUA DONGJI ^^


 

In the beginning of last year Chun-hua, a Chinese female migrant worker from Harbin was working together with us in MWTV.

In March 2005 I made with her reports about two anti-war rallies and demonstrations in Seoul. Actually the cooperation with her was very funny, because she didn't speak not even one word English and understood nearly nothing what I said in English. I wasn't able to speak Korean(only a kind of gibberish..^^), I only understood a little from her, even her Korean was excellent, like her Chinese... Harrharr, but my Chinese.. ^^

But we had also to make several interviews with Korean demonstrators/audience.. And, except only one Korean activist, nobody else understood my English.. So you can imagine that to make interviews, I prepared questions before to start the work, was a "little difficult". But finally we made it.. and in my opinion - it was our first TV report - the result wasn't soo bad(??).

You can watch our contribution here (3.19/20 反戰 報告/anti-war demo report, you can see it at the end of the first third of the show).

 

 

PS: I remember very well this evening when we made this recording.. we hade to practice to use the camera and to make/record an announcement.. And it was getting dark but still it was f.. noisy(traffic..)^^
