Look at this list of settler-initiated crimes against Palestinians in the last few weeks

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 10:27 AM PDT

Philip WeissI have been to the West Bank, I have seen with my own eyes how the settlers walk around with machine guns, terrorizing the native Palestinian population. They are only in the West Bank to justify a continued Israeli military presence there; and they are armed to the teeth.

Where did the settlers get their machine guns from? Where did the settlers learn that it is OK to hate Palestinians, that their presence in the OPT is justified even if it comes with the wholesale subjugation of a people? The settlers, the majority of them are trouble-makers who need to be removed from the Palestinian territories, asap.

Here's a letter from Yale to Maen Rashid Areikat, the Palestine Liberation Organization's rep in Washington, responding to Areikat's complaint about that disgraceful conference that a Yale center dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism held last week. all about self-hating Jews, Palestinian identity formation (not good), and criticism of Israel (presumably at the behest of major donors).

President [Richard] Levin has asked me to respond to your letter of August 30th.

lsraelis caught stealing organs again! August 2010

A ring engaged in selling organs and black transplantology has been exposed in the Ukraine, according to law enforcement agencies. The group consisted of 12 Ukrainian surgeons, and was headed by an israeli citizen. Investigators said the group, which was in this business for 3 years, attracted people who are ready to sell their organs, from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and Uzbekistan, and would perform the surgeries in Azerbaijan and Ecuador.

 

From Shas to Hamas – The South Park Hate Preacher Group

Like the contrived Danish cartoon controversy, the much-hyped Times Square car bomb incident provided an ideal opportunity for those who seek to make Islam look bad in the eyes of the world.

Before the arrest of Faisal "The Fizzler" Shahzad tied this latest botched terror plot to the Pakistani Taliban, some initial news reports suggested that it might have been the work of an Islamist group with a poor sense of humor -- and an even poorer sense of direction. The fact that the fertilizer-laden SUV was parked "about one block from" Viacom headquarters led the Washington Post's pro-Israel staff writers Jerry Markon and Anne Kornblut to speculate that it may have been retribution for a satire on the Prophet Mohammed shown on one of Viacom's TV networks.

The Political Consequences of Stagnation

My apologies to T. S. Eliot, but September, not April, is the cruelest month. Before 9/11/2001, there was 9/11/1973, when Gen. Pinochet toppled the Allende government in Chile and ushered in a 17-year reign of terror. More recently, on 9/15/2008, Lehman Brothers went bust and torpedoed the global economy, turning what had been a Wall Street crisis into a near-death experience for the global financial system.

'Conspiracies of Rich Men' to Rob You, Enslave You, and Wage Aggressive Wars at Your Expense!

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 04:02 AM PDT

It is still fashionable in the American media to deride 'conspiracies' with a blanket if illogical and uninformed smear. Conspiracies are, in fact, how things get done in either crime or commerce. Lately, there is little difference. When just one percent of the U.S. population owns more than the rest of us combined, we are expected to believe that this is the result of merit and commerce. But if we should cite the evidence that argues persuasively that this outcome is the result of a conspiracy of right wing politicians and the venal elites who bankroll them we are reviled and/or ridiculed. That's understandable! We should expect this pack of lies of anyone caught with a hand in the sugar bowl, benefiting financially for having hijacked the apparatus of government for purely venal and/or commercial benefit.
