Jews Against Zionism

December 7th, 2009

by Stephen Lendman

They're numerous, outspoken, and range from secular to orthodox to one group calling itself "True Torah Jews Against Zionism."

They believe that "traditional" Jews don't support Zionism, an ideology they call "contrary to Jewish law and beliefs and the teachings of the Holy Torah." They say Zionism:

-- advocates "a political and military end to the Jewish exile;"

The Vanunu Opera and Christmas 2009

December 7th, 2009

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings is a proverb that means do NOT assume the outcome of something-such as a sports game-until it has finished.

The proverb originated from Richard Wagner's opera suite Der Ring des Nibelungen in its last part, Götterdämmerung, when the fat lady/the Valkyrie Brünnhilde, delivers an aria that lasts nearly ten minutes and ends the drama.

The Celebration Went Unnoticed - Big Leftist Win in Uruguay

December 7th, 2009


Michael Collins
Uruguay's left wing political coalition, the Broad Front party (Frente Amplio), retained control of the presidency in the November elections. This wasn't just any election. The winner, flower farmer Jose "Pepe" Mujica, was the victim of imprisonment and torture during Operation Condor in the 1970's as a result of his efforts as a Tupamaro rebel. During that period of military dictatorship, the new president spent fourteen years in prison, including two years confined at the bottom of a well.

Mujica won 48% of the vote in the initial round of elections on October 25. He then pushed his total to 52% for a comfortable victory in the November 29 runoff voting against Conservative candidate Luis Alberto Lacalle who gained 44% of the vote. In the 2004 elections, outgoing President Tabaré Vázquez, also of the Broad Front coalition, won with just over 50% of the vote.

Mujica set an expansive tone in his inaugural speech by stating, “My government will be a government of open doors, and above all a negotiating administration … we will demand commitment, compromise and hard work” MercoPress, Nov. 30. He then announced meetings with President Lula da Silva of Brazil and Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

Height of Hypocrisy: Uri Avnery's 'Height of Kitsch'

December 7th, 2009

A rebelnews.org editorial

Israeli activists like Uri Avnery always give me the creeps. They are working so hard to make the rest of the world believe that not all Israelis are bad, but then they have to come up with unflattering comparisons between the Israeli Occupation Forces and the German Wehrmacht. Unflattering for the German Wehrmacht that is.

If those Israeli 'activists' were serious about justice for the Palestinians, they wouldn't parrot the old Judeo-Bolshevik propaganda lies about the bad, bad Nazis. Without the Nazis, there wouldn't be a Zionist colony on Palestinian land, and it's fairly obvious that the Nazis were put into power by the Zionists to create the conditions for it. Let me ask you this sacrilegious 5-year-imprisonment question: If the Nazis had been serious about killing all European Jews, why didn't they do what Stalin's Jewish commissars did so efficiently with millions of Christian Ukrainians, and simply starve them to death?

Project Humanbeingsfirst Responds to The Israel Lobby's Global Propaganda Manual

December 7th, 2009

Zahir Ebrahim

In response to Paul J Balles bringing The Israel Lobby's Global Propaganda Manual titled: “The Israel Project’s 2009 GLOBAL LANGUAGE DICTIONARY” to the public's notice, Project Humanbeingsfirst.org observed, on December 1st, 2009 at 23:10:

Thank you for bringing attention to the final 11th edition of the Orweliian Newspeak Dictionary in the making – 1984, wonderful to watch were it not also reality in the making:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5464625623984168940 'WHO CONTROLS THE PAST CONTROLS THE FUTURE WHO CONTROLS THE PRESENT CONTROLS THE PAST'

Caution: some nudity in a few scenes – but a necessary watch for modern generation un-attuned to reading. The book however is a better study (the link is to one my favorite Kafkaesque moments in the book): http://www.george-orwell.org/1984/15.html

Osama Bin Laden, Dead or Alive?…An irrelevant question asked by David Ray Griffin

December 6th, 2009

Maher Osseiran

I say that it is irrelevant because the war policy makers in the U.S. government can easily deal with a bin Laden death and find ways to justify their never ending war on terror; bin Laden’s vital signs are of little consequence.

In the world of David Ray Griffin and his cheerleaders, if it is possible to prove that bin Laden is dead, wars would immediately come to an end. Such irrational rationale seems to be the noble driving force behind his most recent book, “Osama Bin Laden, Dead or Alive?”, if it were not for its reliance on excessive speculation and falsehoods.

Arundhati Roy Disturbs Democratic Daydreaming

December 5th, 2009

By Trond Øverland

Arundhati Roy is an unusual Indian woman. Instead of acting the graceful upholder of traditional values, she goes on challenging the hard core of establishment thinking. Roy is India’s leading commentator on such evils as militaristic imperialist capitalism, Hindu-supported genocide of Muslims, and dam disasters. In her latest book, Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers, she hammers at perhaps the most central of all contemporary sacred pillars, i.e. that of democracy, which in her words “have metastasized into something dangerous”.

Grasshoppers is a collection of essays on such recent events as the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai, the 2006 visit to India by “the war criminal” U.S. President George W. Bush, the 2002 Gujarat carnage (between 2000-4000 Muslims slaughtered), the 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament by "so-called" Pakistan-based terrorists, and the growing inequality in India (“the old society has curdled and separated into a thin layer of thick cream – and a lot of water …”).

Will Congress Criminalize Anti-Semitism and Israeli Criticism?

December 4th, 2009

By Stephen Lendman

In the current climate, perhaps given:

-- America's police state laws;

-- no due process or judicial fairness for any state target;

-- mass illegal surveillance;

-- targeting dissent; and

-- the power of the Israeli Lobby over Congress, the media, academia, the clergy, and most anyone confronting them.

During Israel's war on Gaza, only 5 of 535 congressional members dissented on pro-Israeli resolutions.

Obamathink on Afghanistan: Escalate to Exit

December 4th, 2009

by Stephen Lendman

Ahead of his address to the nation on December 1, The New York Times broke the news in an Eric Schmitt article titled, "Obama Issues Order for More Troops in Afghanistan," saying:

During a late November 29 Oval Office meeting with top Pentagon brass, "Obama issued orders to send about 30,000 additional American troops to Afghanistan (over the next six months in) what may be one of the most defining decisions of his presidency." Compounding months of public betrayal, it's perhaps another outrage that will make him a one-term president, the way Vietnam ended Lyndon Johnson's hope for a second term.

DOES ANYBODY BELIEVE THIS STUFF?

December 4th, 2009

Re-reporting, excerpting, editing with comment by Carolyn Bennett

Brain drain, blood drain - we've got both Choose to believe what is believable on the evidence

In Reinventing Collapse, Dmitry Orlov says the old Soviet Union - you will remember the Soviets took their turn in Afghanistan before the Americans - "operated a huge military and political empire but, paradoxically, failed to derive any economic benefit from it, running the entire enterprise at a net loss."
