Israeli Hardliners Reject Palestinian Statehood, Want War, not Peace
by Stephen Lendman
Israel and America give rogue state governance new meaning. Both are ruthless warrior states.
Living by the sword is longstanding. Naked aggression is official policy.
So is partnering in each other's high crimes.
Premeditated dirty wars without mercy repeat with disturbing regularity.
Israel and America are like Ukraine.
Infested with fascists making policy. Israeli Economy Minister/Bayit Yehudi party leader Naftali Bennett is more hardline than Netanyahu.
Haaretz calls him "israel's real leader and navigator." He threatens the entire region. Perhaps world peace.
To the Parent of the Immunocompromised Child Who Thinks My Kid is a Threat
February 9, 2015 by Megan Heimer
This is a post written in response to “To the Parent of the Unvaccinated Child Who Exposed My Child to Measles.”
To the parent of an immunocompromised child who thinks my child is a threat,
I am so sorry that your child has cancer. I cannot imagine how hard that must be for you. I am sure you are trying to do what you think is best for your child, even if that means requesting that I do something that’s not best for mine. There are no hard feelings here but I have to be honest with you…I too, have a number of emotions surging through my body right now.
Towards my children, I am feeling extra protective. Towards my rights, I am like a mean mama bear who got poked during the middle of a nap. Towards the creators of the hysteria that all of a sudden, for the first time in history, deemed one child more important and makes my child a perceived threat to everyone else’s, I am angry. Towards the parent of an immunocompromised child I am sympathetic, yet frustrated by the fact that you do not respect my choices, that you think my unvaccinated child is the only one who threatens yours, and that you would insinuate that my child should be sacrificed on the altar for your child.
By now, we’ve all been indoctrinated by the measles propaganda surrounding Disneyland. We’ve been mistakenly told that the unvaccinated are to blame, that it’s only occurring in unvaccinated individuals, and that measles disappeared 15 years ago and all of a sudden made a comeback.
Gallup: Americans’ Fear of Russia Soars
Eric Zuesse
Gallup headlined on February 16th, "Americans Increasingly See Russia as Threat, Top U.S. Enemy,” and reported that whereas back in 2011 only 3% of Americans answered “Russia” when asked “What country anywhere in the world do you consider to be the United States’ greatest enemy?” 18% cite “Russia” today, which is 3% more than the #2-cited threat, “North Korea,” cited now by 15% (which had been 16% back in 2011, when the top-cited threat of all was then Iran, at 25%, which is now cited by only 9% of Americans, as being America’s “greatest enemy.”
The United States Government has, ever since the end of the Soviet Union and the end of communism there, placed America’s weapons very near the most-highly-industrialized western part of Russia, with 11 NATO members being added since then that had previously been Warsaw Pact members (i.e., that were allies of Russia): Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Albania.
Washington Wants War with Russia
by Stephen Lendman
French newspaper Le Point says NATO wants war with Russia. NATO means America. It dominates Alliance policy. Le Point cited the following provocations:
● Eastern European Alliance expansion;
● encroaching menacingly on Russia's borders;
● encirclement with US bases; and
● using Ukraine as a pretext for confrontation.
Sputnik News (SN) discussed what demands worldwide reporting. Citing Le Point, it headlined "NATO Pushes for War by Encircling Russia."
Getting involved in Ukraine is a way to justify its existence, said SN. US-dominated NATO needs enemies to warrant spending hundreds of billions of dollars for offense, not defense.
Elie Wiesel's Anti-Iranian Big Lies
by Stephen Lendman
Wiesel is a shameless self-promoter. A charlatan. A con man. A fraudster. A holocaust exploiter. A notorious Islamophobe.
A grotesque apologist for Israel's worst crimes. He justified Israel's Operation Protective Edge (OPE) calling it "a battle between those who celebrate life (Israel) and those who champion death (Hamas)." He ignored naked Israeli aggression. Its genocidal mass slaughter and destruction. He outrageously called OPE "a battle of civilization versus barbarism."
He mocks what he claims to stand for. "I cannot say bad things about Jews," he stresses. He ignores history. Other times he reinvents it. He perpetuates the myth about unique Jewish suffering. Mindless of decades of Israeli state terror. Its wars of aggression.
Post-Minsk EU Sanctions on Russia
by Stephen Lendman
Imposing new sanctions shows Brussels wants confrontation, not conflict resolution.
Russia's NATO representative, Alexander Grushko, calls relations with the Alliance "close to the freezing point."
"(W)e…have (no) illusions regarding the dangers that might be caused by NATO," he said. (It) found a new meaning of life. (It's) play(ing) out against us, against Russia."
On February 16, Brussels sanctioned 19 more Russian and Donbas officials. Its blacklist totals 151 individuals, as well as 37 Russian companies and other entities. Sanctions are war by other means.
The Reality Of Present Day Anti-Semitism. Or To Be More Precise: Anti-Jewish Sentiment
William Hanna
Anti-Semitism or a justifiable demand that Israelis stop persecuting Palestinians?
“It is highly probable that the bulk of the Jew's ancestors 'never' lived in Palestine 'at all,' which witnesses the power of historical assertion over fact.”
H. G. Wells, The Outline of History
The reality is that by simply asking such a valid question innocent people can become targets for unjustified accusations of anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial which together have become the most powerful weapon — by conflating Zionism with Judaism — for silencing criticism of, or preventing activism against Israeli violations of international law including a barbarous disregard for human rights.
How Can This Happen? Here Is How
Eric Zuesse
Ukrainian military burst into the house, beat the host, steal valuables and alcohol.
How can this happen?: http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/02/ukrainian-soldiers-break-into-house.html
Here is how: http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/ukraines-land-agency-give-land-to-soldiers-in-the-east-for-free-352100.html
So: Ukraine’s troops are permitted to steal whatever they want from the residents in Donbass, the rebelling region. The particular victim here lives in an apartment, and so all that Ukraine's troops can take from him are his belongings. He’s lucky they didn’t shoot him (if they didn’t).
Britain and Canada Involved in Foiled US Venezuelan Coup Plot
by Stephen Lendman
Together they're an axis of evil. Deploring democracy. Waging war on humanity.
Serving monied interests at the expense of popular ones. Employing no-holds-barred tactics. State terrorism by any standard.
A previous article discussed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro explaining Obama's plot to kill him, oust his government, and seize power forcefully was thwarted.
Washington wants all sovereign independent governments toppled. It tolerates none anywhere.
It wants pro-Western regimes serving US interests worldwide. Especially in resource rich countries like Venezuela.
TeleSUR provided details on Obama's foiled coup plot. It wasn't the first. It won't be the last.
US-style hardball takes no prisoners. Maduro knows he's a marked man. Washington wants him dead.
Is Saudi Arabia reviewing anti-MB approach?
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied East Jerusalem
Signs are rife that the new ruler of Saudi Arabia, King Salman, may be reconsidering his predecessor's decision to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood (MB).
The late King Abdullah was apparently under the influence of "bad advisors" when he issued a hastily-prepared decree, classifying the MB, along with several other groups, as a terrorist group.
The MB is the biggest and by far most moderate contemporary Sunni Islamic movement, with followers and supporters spread all over the globe. Its ideological and political enemies, who include secularists, Shiites, Leftists and Arab nationalists, accuse it of extremism and violence. However, these enemies are yet to produce any concrete and irrefutable evidence corroborating their claims.
