Israel’s Gilad Shalit got off lightly

Ongoing Israeli Human Rights Abuses and Self-Proclaimed Democracy

Obama and the Terror Plot Thriller

The Real Enemy of the Palestinians
Israelis, themselves, are as victims as the Palestinians although to a very lesser extents.

In America, you can shout “you lie!” at President Barack Obama, no one will touch you. But disrupting a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, you are criminal and will be prosecuted in U.S. courts.
America’s modern barbarism
Has anyone noticed that the political air is wafting rancid lately? That is the smell of modern barbarism. Modern barbarism is a malodorous umbrella concept.
