by Gilad Atzmon We are used to reading about Israelis and Jews bragging about the inherent bond between Israel, enlightenment, modernity, science and technology. Hence, it may take us by surprise to find out that in the Jewish State, a dog was ‘sentenced to death by stoning’ by a Rabbinical court. Ynet reported yesterday that several weeks ago a large dog entered the Rabbinical Court in Jerusalem. The dog scared
DemocrayNow reports: The United States and Libyan rebels have rejected a new offer from the regime of Col. Muammar Gaddafi as the conflict in Libya enters its fifth month. Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam, had said his father would hold elections within three months and would step down if he lost. But the Obama administration rejected the proposal, calling it “too late.” NATO warplanes have resumed bombing Tripoli as rebels attempt
There we go: Hillary Clinton condemns rape as “war of weapon” (BBC sic dixit). Well, the mean “weapon of war”, of course. She should know – she was one of those who pushed her husband, Bill, to wage war against Serbia using exactly the same ‘hyper-pious’ pretext. Of course, nobody in the White House is suggestion waging war on the Congo were over 1000 rapes were recorded each day (Maybe
by Gilad Atzmon It occurred to me recently that the Palestinian solidarity discourse is spiritually, ideologically and intellectually driven by some very misleading terminology: crucial notions such as Zionism, colonialism and apartheid (heard in every discussion, and present in every text book about the conflict), are either confusing, or even delusional: I believe that they are there to actually block any attempt to grasp the true spirit and ideologies that
Dear Sirs/Madam, The Government of Libya Jamahiriya reviewed with great interest the deliberations of the Congress on the issue of the participation of the United States of America in NATO’s aggression against Libya, and I want express my sincere gratitude for your thoughtful discussion of the issues. We are confident that history will see the wisdom of your Country in debating these issues. As we have constantly expressed in the
RT really is steadily keeping up a good level of interesting reporting. Check out below two thoughtful reports and have a great week-end! The Saker
By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya for Global Research Washington and its allies, Israel and the Al-Sauds, are taking advantage of the upheavals in the Arab World. They are now working to dismantle the Resistance Bloc and weaken any drive for democracy in the Arab World. The geo-political chessboard is now being prepared for a broader confrontation that will target Tehran and include Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and the Palestinians. Tying Hezbollah’s Hands
The meaning of the term “antisemite” has significantly changed in recent years. There was a time when this term referred to those who despised Jews. Later, the term referred to those who promoted myths about a global Jewish conspiracy to rule the world. Today the term “antisemite” is used by the ruling elite to lambast human rights activists who advocate equal rights between Jews, Christians and Muslims, the right of
I can’t believe it. The “Bosnia blueprint” is followed with such meticulous care they now the US propaganda machine has even produced this: Libya: Gaddafi investigated over use of rape as weapon: The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor says there is evidence that Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi ordered the rape of hundreds of women as a weapon against rebel forces. [The ICC is now looking at] possible evidence that
Back from my short trip I want to share with you a hodge-podge of observations and thoughts. Let’s begin by the Caucasus. Two things are happening simultaneously in Chechnia, Dagestan: Wahabi insurgents have embarked on a systematic campaign of terror against non-Wahabi Muslim clerics and scholars. This is happening against a background of major losses for the Wahabi insurgency whose leaders are being killed by the Russian security forces one
Dear friends, I am going to be away from my computers for a couple of day. I will be on the road from tomorrow Thursday until next Tuesday. I will probably only be able to access the Internet via my smartphone and tablet so, barring some huge event, I will probably not post here or even answer emails. God willing, by next Tuesday all shall be back to normal. Besides,
Usually, when the USA is commemorating Memorial Day, I try to write something about the many hundred of millions of people which were murdered by US military forces during this country’s short history. Sometimes I like to post a list of US wars/interventions. If you are interested in this topic, click here, here, here or here. Today, I wanted to do something a little different. I wanted to share with
Many interesting issues are alluded to in this interview. I wonder if you guys could comment on the following topics: The Salafi <-> Muslim Brotherhood relation. Is there a “porous border” between these two groups? Does the MB have a salafist wing? The Foreign Ministry <-> Military relation. Is there a real power struggle taking place between these two ministries? Assuming that the USA will do all it can to
First we had “Evil Joe” Lieberman with his “Internet kill switch” and now they are at it again, this time with a “Protect IP Act“. The thugs in Congress are always up to no good, usually some crafty way of making the rich richer, the poor poorer, to further reduce any civil liberty left and, last but not least, to do whatever the hell the Israel lobby demands from them.
Netanyahu got 29 standing ovations, four more than President Obama at his state of the union address. Amazing… And what a wonderful lady Rae Abileah is! People like this give me hope!
