From 30 years ago in March 1978 the independent State of 
Palestine was declared, it was declared by daring young girl in an Israeli bus. The story of that girl that starts in 1958 when Dalal Al Magrabhi was born in one of the refugees camps in Beirut for a Palestinian family from Jaffa. read more »
Where is the coverage of the 197 Dead Bodies?
Quoting the inimitable Professor Abu-Khalil in California: These are 197 dead bodies delivered by Israel to Lebanon in the prisoner exchange. The two dead Israeli soldiers have received more coverage those those 197 dead Arab bodies. Hell, dead Israeli soldiers receive more coverage than all the Arab living. Such are the racist standards of the White Man. This explains why MEMRI sent out a
Bolshevism and Islam
John Molyneux… From the standpoint of Marxism and international socialism an illiterate, conservative, superstitious Muslim Palestinian peasant who supports Hamas is more progressive than an educated liberal atheist Israeli who supports Zionism (even critically). Well said Comrade!
Hamas says talks suspended on Zionist soldier’s release
From AFP… Hamas said on Friday it had suspended negotiations on the release of a captured Israeli soldier because the Jewish state was not respecting the terms of a truce with the Islamist movement. “Hamas has suspended indirect negotiations with the enemy over (Corporal Gilad) Shalit because of the non-respect by the enemy of the terms of [...]

pastrami sandwiches, dieting and ethnic cleansing
Just two quotes that I saw recently, one sent to me in an email by Angela Godfrey:
We’ll make a pastrami sandwich of them. We’ll insert a strip of Jewish settlements in between the Palestinians, and then another strip of Jewish settlements right across the West Bank, so that in 25 years, neither the United Nations, nor the U.S.A, nobody, will be able to tear it apart.” Ariel Sharon to Winston S. Churchill III in 1973
The other a comment made by Dov Weisglass, Olmert’s policy advisor, following the Hamas elections:
Israel will “put Palestinians on a diet … [they] will get a lot thinner, but won’t die”. read more »
the cult of hagee and the theology of end of times - or bin laden reversed
hmm…. I thought long and hard before posting this. While I attempt in this blog to expose fundamentalism on ALL sides, be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, you name it… this one in particular is so disturbing, I hesitated in publishing it. Yesterday Bill Moyers, God bless him, had a program on PBS about the extremist group Christians United for Israel with its insane pastor Hagee. I had written about Hagee before, but this video is particularly disturbing.
Bush sent this message to the group as they began their summit: read more »

Protesters or Supporters? Carter at Brandeis
Bully for you Mr. Carter for taking the podium at Brandeis, the premiere Jewish University in the US. But shame on the NYT for not posting the right caption under their photo of the story. Here is what the caption under the photo says: Mr. Carter’s book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” drew protesters to Brandeis on Tuesday. Critics have said the book contains errors and misrepresentations of
If it quacks like a duck....
"If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck and quacks like a duck, it may not be a duck (!?!?!?) say Ken Stein, on NPR this morning when being interviewed by Steve Inskeep about Carters book. Only when it comes to talking about Israel (in America) can you get away with this garbage...Ken Stein, an adviser to Carter, says he resigned his fellowship at the Center in Atlanta, Ga., because he
Why you need to boycott the Oscars this year
"The announcement of the Oscar nominees tomorrow will tell whether the Israeli "Storm of Emotions" is to be included among the five finalists contending for the best full-length documentary award... "Storm of Emotions" portrays a withdrawal almost devoid of violence. "It shows a different Israel. The world is used to seeing Israelis as violent, and this picture shows a humane police force," she
$100 million "straight to Abbas"
"OMG what am I going to do with all that money?" [Abbas to self] First a shipment of arms via Egypt, now $100 million of Palestinian funds which Israel has frozen since Hamas became the dominant party in January 2006, it all seems like an acceleration to rapidly shift the power balance in Palestine away from Hamas. The results are predictable--soaring emotions and anger as impoverished
