It is your voice that is likely to reach people who have not considered what Palestinian occupation really means.
And realistically, it is your solidarity that can help shift public opinion in the west.

“He helped defend his nation from a fearful enemy, came home to find that he still wasn’t free.”
February 12, 1946.
That day Isaac Woodard Jr. was on a Greyhound Lines bus traveling from Camp Gordon in Augusta, Georgia, where he had been discharged, in route to rejoin his family in North Carolina. When the bus reached a rest stop just outside Augusta, Woodard asked the bus driver if there was time for him to use a restroom. The driver grudgingly acceded to the request after an argument. Woodard returned to his seat from the rest stop without incident, and the bus departed. The bus stopped in Batesburg (now Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina), near Aiken in the Jim Crow south.
Though Woodard had caused no disruption, the driver contacted the local police (including Chief of Police Lynwood Shull), who forcibly removed Woodard from the bus. After demanding to see his discharge papers, a number of policemen, including Shull, took Woodard to a nearby alleyway, where they beat him repeatedly with nightsticks. They then took Woodard to the town jail and arrested him for disorderly conduct, accusing him of drinking beer in the back of the bus with other soldiers. The attack left Woodard permanently blind.
The following morning, the police sent Woodard before the local judge, who found him guilty and fined him fifty dollars. The soldier requested medical assistance, but it took two more days for a doctor to be sent to him. Not knowing where he was and suffering from amnesia, Woodard ended up in a hospital in Aiken, South Carolina, receiving substandard medical care. Three weeks after he was reported missing by his relatives, Woodard was discovered in the hospital. He was immediately rushed to a US Army hospital in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Though his memory had begun to recover by that time, doctors found both eyes were damaged beyond repair.
On September 19, 1946, seven months after the incident, NAACP Executive Secretary Walter Francis White met with President Harry S. Truman to discuss the Woodard case. The following day, Truman wrote a letter to Attorney General Tom C. Clark demanding that action be taken to address South Carolina's reluctance to try the case. Six days later Truman directed the United States Department of Justice to open an investigation in the case. A short investigation followed, and Shull and several of his officers were indicted in U.S. District Court in Columbia, South Carolina. It was within federal jurisdiction because the beating had occurred at a bus stop on federal property and at the time Woodard was in uniform of the armed services.
The case was presided over by Judge Julius Waties Waring. By all accounts, the trial was a travesty. The local U.S. Attorney charged with handling the case failed to interview anyone except the bus driver, a decision that Waring, a civil rights proponent, believed was a gross dereliction of duty. Waring would later write of his disgust of the way the case was handled at the local level. The behavior of the defense was no better. When the defense attorney began to shout racial epithets at Woodard, Waring had it stopped immediately. During the trial, the defense attorney also stated to the jury that "if you rule against Shull, then let this South Carolina secede again."
After Woodard gave his account of the events, Shull firmly denied it, claiming that Woodard had threatened him with a gun, and that Shull had used his nightclub to defend himself. During this testimony, Shull admitted that he repeatedly struck Woodard in the eyes. After thirty minutes of deliberation, Shull was found not guilty on all charges despite his admission that he had blinded Woodard. The courtroom broke into applause upon hearing the verdict. Shull was never punished, dying in Batesburg on December 27, 1997, at the age of 95.
Woodard moved north after the trial during the Second Great Migration and lived in the New York City area for the rest of his life. He died aged 73 in the Veterans Administration hospital in the Bronx on September 23, 1992. He was buried with military honors at the Calverton National Cemetery (Section 15, Site 2180) in Calverton, New York.

“Ayudó a defender a su nación de un enemigo temible, volvió a casa y descubrió que todavía no era libre”.
12 de febrero, 1946.
Ese día, Isaac Woodard Jr. viajaba en un autobús de Greyhound Lines desde el Campo Gordon, ubicado en Augusta, Georgia, donde fue dado de alta con honores. Iba en camino a Carolina del Norte para reunirse con su familia. Cuando el autobús llegó a una parada de descanso en las afueras de Augusta, Woodard le preguntó al conductor del autobús si había tiempo para que él pudiera ir al baño. El conductor accedió de mala gana a la solicitud después de una discusión. Woodard regresó a su asiento desde la parada de descanso sin incidentes y el autobús partió. El autobús se detuvo en Batesburg (ahora Batesburg-Leesville, Carolina del Sur), cerca de Aiken en el sur de Jim Crow.
Aunque Woodard no causó ningún daño, el conductor se puso en contacto con la policía local (incluido el jefe de policía Lynwood Shull), quienes sacaron a Woodard del autobús a la fuerza. Después de que exigieron ver sus documentos de alta, varios policías, incluyendo Shull, llevaron a Woodard a un callejón cercano, donde lo golpearon repetidamente con bastones. Luego llevaron a Woodard a la cárcel y lo arrestaron por alteración del orden público, acusándolo de beber cerveza en la parte trasera del autobús con otros soldados. El ataque dejó a Woodard permanentemente ciego.
A la mañana siguiente, la policía envió a Woodard ante el juez local, quien lo declaró culpable y lo multó con cincuenta dólares. El soldado solicitó asistencia médica, pero tomaron dos días más para que le enviaran un médico. Sin saber dónde estaba y sufriendo de amnesia, Woodard terminó en un hospital en Aiken, Carolina del Sur, recibiendo atención médica deficiente. Tres semanas después de que sus familiares lo reportaran como desaparecido, Woodard fue descubierto en el hospital. Inmediatamente fue trasladado de urgencia a un hospital del Ejército de EE. UU. en Spartanburg, Carolina del Sur. Aunque su memoria había comenzado a recuperarse en ese momento, los médicos encontraron que ambos ojos estaban dañados sin posibilidad de reparación.
El 19 de septiembre de 1946, siete meses después del incidente, el secretario ejecutivo de la NAACP (Asociación Nacional para el Desarrollo de la Gente de Color), Walter Francis White, se reunió con el presidente Harry S. Truman para discutir el caso de Woodard. Al día siguiente, Truman escribió una carta al fiscal general Tom C. Clark exigiendo que se tomaran medidas para abordar la renuencia de Carolina del Sur para juzgar el caso. Seis días después, Truman ordenó al Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos que abriera una investigación sobre el caso. Siguió una breve investigación y Shull y varios de sus oficiales fueron acusados ​​en el Tribunal Distrital de los Estados Unidos ubicado en Columbia, Carolina del Sur. Fue dentro de la jurisdicción federal porque la golpiza se había producido en una parada de autobús en una propiedad federal y en ese momento Woodard vestía el uniforme de las fuerzas armadas.
El caso fue presidido por el juez Julius Waties Waring. Según todos los informes, el juicio fue una farsa. El fiscal federal local encargado de manejar el caso no entrevistó a nadie excepto al conductor del autobús, una decisión que Waring, un defensor de los derechos civiles, consideró un grave incumplimiento del deber. Waring escribiría más tarde sobre su disgusto por la forma en que se manejó el caso a nivel local. El comportamiento de la defensa no fue mejor. Cuando el abogado defensor comenzó a gritar insultos raciales a Woodard, Waring lo detuvo de inmediato. Durante el juicio, el abogado defensor también le dijo al jurado que "si dictaminan en contra de Shull, entonces dejen que esta Carolina del Sur se separe nuevamente".
Después de que Woodard dio su versión de los hechos, Shull lo negó firmemente, alegando que Woodard lo había amenazado con un arma y que Shull había usado su bastón para defenderse. Durante este testimonio, Shull admitió que golpeó repetidamente a Woodard en los ojos. Después de treinta minutos de deliberación, Shull fue declarado inocente de todos los cargos a pesar de que admitió que había cegado a Woodard. Comenzaron a aplaudir en la sala del tribunal después de escuchar el veredicto. Shull nunca fue castigado, murió en Batesburg el 27 de diciembre de 1997, a la edad de 95 años.
Woodard se mudó al norte después del juicio durante la Segunda Gran Migración y vivió en la ciudad de Nueva York por el resto de su vida. Murió a los 73 años en el hospital de la Administración de Veteranos ubicado en el Bronx el 23 de septiembre de 1992. Fue enterrado con honores militares en el Cementerio Nacional de Calverton (Sección 15, Sitio 2180) en Calverton, Nueva York.

The ATLANTIKWALL in Raversyde is one of the best-preserved remains of the German defensive line during the First World War. Thanks to its exceptional preservation, for decades the ATLANTIKWALL was carefully walled in and today it is the only intact original wall from the 1914-1918 world war that can be found in an urban environment.

Happy Independence Day Finland!
Finnish sentry from the Infantry Regiment 7 (Regiment of Tyrjä) at the Ohta sector, December 6, 1942.
We are proudly conscious of the historic duty which we shall continue to fulfil; the defence of that Western civilisation which has been our heritage for centuries.
Commander-in-Chief’s Order of the Day No. 34 •••••••• Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää Suomi!
Jalkaväkirykmentti 7:n (Tyrjän Rykmentti) vartiomies Ohdan lohkolla itsenäisyyspäivänä, 6.12.1942.
Meillä on ylpeä tietoisuus siitä, että meillä on historiallinen tehtävä, jonka me edelleen täytämme; länsimaisen sivistyksen suojaaminen, joka vuosisatoja on ollut meidän perintömme.
Ylipäällikön päiväkäsky N:o 34 •••••••• [ sa-kuva | 116408 | J.Taube ]
