Merkel condemns Qassams, but ignores Israel’s actions

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Personally, I think Segev is wrong about Merkel’s biography, which is opportunism… Her father was a minister who joined the Communist party in East Germany, though he did not have to… and she is clearly Islamophobic - which is seen in her attitude to Turkey, to the Palestinians, to Iran, Iraq, etc… at least [...]

The Right to Self-Determination - A Fake Exercise in Universalism

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

In the picture, a visual explanation of Jewish Self-Determination

The right to self-determination is a luxurious approach at conservation of power reserved for the rich, strong and privileged.

Re-Remembering Rachel Corrie

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

The selfless teacher of Moral-Activism

Re-Remembering Rachel Corrie (1979 - 2003) as the selfless teacher of Moral-Activism.

On this 5th anniversary of Rachel’s supreme self-sacrifice to stand up to tyranny on behalf of the beleaguered Palestinian people, it is à propos remembering this forgottened American victim of Jews-on-Jews violence with these pitiless 1943 words of Yitzhak Shamir [...]

Israeli Army Loots a Palestinian Orphanage

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Who creates the violence and the terror attacks on Israel, the Zionist regime itself or the charitable organizations? Who is the real terrorist and criminal: the IDF Central Command and its thugs, or the charitable organizations which supply the Palestinian orphans, the poor, and the children of poor families in Hebron?

Does Israel create peace and [...]
