The Zionists provided a raft, not a lifeboat. World Jewry is in trouble because too many Jews bought the Zionist dream that has now turned out to be a nightmare. They could have come to the U.S. at the end of the war (just like Mexicans today), but they opted for one of the last exercises in colonialism. If Judaism disappears, I hope it is from Jews developing some smarts and abandoning an old superstitious tradition. All the other religions, except the Muslim one, has been slowly fading away with education. by

A writer is a rogue goose. All other gees fly in a flock formation; every goose knows his place and time for honking. The rogue goose is undisciplined. He leaves the formation indiscriminately to have a look at it from aside. He roams back and forth, takes a peep at the leader, honks a little bit from behind, distracts everyone and writes on what he sees. Time passes and as he wants to return back to his place he discovers someone else there. Thus he either has to wait until they land for rest...
Anti-Semitism, pure and simple 'The anti-Israel and anti-Jewish Jews among us are like a dagger pointed directly at the heart of Israel and the Jewish people.' The above statement contains a blatant Anti- Semitism because it condemns people who are Jews for their different opinions. It condemns people just because they for some reason might not like Israel (like for instance they might not like its climate, I suppose or dislike Jewish food, be indifferent to Hebrew language or detest circumcision). It calls for the witch hunt on the Jews who are citizens of other countries and as such have absolutely no obligation towards Israel at all. It claims 'ownership' on all the Jewry ( Mrs Newirth promotes this idea with subtlety many times), so that no Jew can think or function without 'eternal love' for Israel. This is malice. This is a provocative Anti-Semitism, a call to violence towards people. I am surely not suprised by this in the article by the above author but I am surprised that it is published here. This kind of blatant hatred towards people is very symptomatic for the hysterics propagated by people like the author. In their vehemency they 'kill the dead', again and again using the spirit of the Holocaust to propagate hate and malice towards other people and towards even people of their own kind. Such behavior is blasphemous. Israel is a country. Jew is a person. Citizenship is defined by birth. A person has a free will and may sympathise or not to the doings of some another country. No Irish, even in Eire proper has a duty to condone 100% what the Irish Republic does. No Jew is owned by Israel and Mrs. Newirth should not consider herself the overseer on the plantation. Every Jew can do what he/she wants. They can become Irish for what it worth. And that is the beauty of being free. by

Peace for Israel I hope for peace for Israel. I could write much here on what could/should be done for Israel to have peace. But let me make it brief. The smartest thing that Israel ever did was to use American money to buy off Jordan and Egypt; the dumbest thing was to allow extremist neo-cons to inflict their crazy strategy on America/UK/France and Israel. Years ago I authored the Stirling Proposal For Peace In The Middle East and published it on my then news site and sent copies to various Middle Eastern leaders. I know that Israeli Prime Minister Sharon read and seriously considered the proposal....his National Security Adviser told me so. In short, the proposal called for Western money to pay all Arabs triple fold for their loss of land/etc. in all the wars since 1948/49, and a return of most of the occupied land to the Arabs. It also called for a high tech very high/very secure security wall to prevent suicide bombers from slipping into Israel (at the time there were large numbers of Israeli civilians being killed on buses/etc.). The plan called for a large part of the payments to the Arabs to be in the form of new stock in Israeli high tech industries with requirements that the stock be held for a number of years. This would have linked the futures of the Arabs and Israelis to economic growth and peace. Sadly, the only thing that was used out of my Proposal was the security wall. There is a way to lasting peace in the Middle East and it involves real action on solving long term problems....not in using American and other nations in a crazy neo-con strategy to wage more and more war on the states neighboring Israel. This only allows the Iranian and other crazies to grow in strength. You mentioned that the Arabs/Iranians have biological war. That is very true and 21st Century advanced biowar is at a level, of potential global death, very similar to that of global strategic nuclear war. Events in the Middle East could end up killing all Israelis, all Arabs and Iranians, and most of the rest of us if some real common sense is not used. Stirling by

He told you so? English , unlike Americans know history all too well and I hope that you, Sir, remember that arguments like 'he told me so' do not hold water in politics. In 1938 after the Munich 'arrangements' Chamberlain was also 'told' by Hitler that Germany was totally satisfied. You surely know what happened next: Hitler forced the disarmed Chechoslovakia to accept the full occupation. I am surprised. Is that how they do politics in the 'spheres'? He told you so? You should at least tape the conversation. What language did he use? Hebrew? I am not trying to mock you, Sir, just please, it is really worrysome to hear such things from an experienced person like you. What then can we expect from the amateurs? It is much more plausible that politicians absorb everything but process the info only per their need. The idea of the wall came from you? They took it. If you really heard otherwise why won't you go public with it? You are an experienced politician, your opinion is significant. I am not asking you to put yourself in jeopardy. Just do what you feel is necessary,please. by

Excellent article, Ms. Neuwirth Today's suicide bombing in Israel--and the subsequent gleeful celebration by many Palestinians (a repeat of the celebrations on 9/11)--reminds us of the key obstacle to peace. by

Hostile People Live in a Hostile Universe Is Rachel just now discovering that hostile people live in a hostile universe? That when one tries to kick around the Universe, the Universe kicks back? That when one hates all those sterotyped "Arabs", that they sterotype right back. It is all about unwholesome thoughts and delusional perceptions. Scores of nuclear bombs, missiles, and fighter jets don't make one feel any safer when one's fundamental relationship with the Universe is wrong. This is Israel's core problem. by

Doesn't wash. Sorry, but your tirade doesn't wash. But reading your piece makes it clear to me how some who share your viewpoint justify their attacks on Finkelstein, Pappe, Chomsky and others who present their arguments well-supported with facts. Frankly, I find their arguments much more compelling than yours. I regret and abhor anti-semitism in the world particularly inasmuch as half of my family is Jewish but I don't equate speaking the truth about Israel's policies since its inception as anti-semitic. By the way, are y'all ever gonna fess up about the USS Liberty?.... ah, I thought not.... by

Abuse of Power Dear Senori de Medicis, abuse of power by any other name is still a policy that doesn't bring peace. I appreciate your comments and wonder if you have heard of Dr. Jeff Halper who also has some very interesting comments. http://danieltjpye.wordpress.com/2006/12/11/kc-sabeel-conference-dr-jeff-halper/ by

Richard Mynick is a US citizen who, despite the best efforts of the corporate media, noticed something disturbing about how the 2000 election was decided, & felt it augured poorly for democracy.
Rachel's article is paranoid drivel, exhibiting an extreme hypersensitivity to actions taken against one's own group, combined with complete obliviousness and/or dishonest denial of the far greater wrongs one's group has inflicted on others. Rachel's grossly repetitive shtick is "Poor little me is so innocent, while all the A-rabs are so evil." It's entirely common for colonialist oppressors to imagine themselves the victims of those they brutalize. // It's pathetic but revealing that Zionists can perceive the sins of the Nazis with such clarity, while being oblivious to the same bigotry & aggressive cruelty, when they're the ones dishing it out. by

A 'senior' world citizen concerned about how badly our shared domicile is being ravaged by imperialists, dominionists, neo-cons and evangelists.
"On the presnt danger facing Israel and all Jews" The 'present danger' facing Israel and all(?) Jews is of ISRAEL'S MAKING and Israel is making more and more of it on a daily basis. Rachel should prepare herself and others like her who believe in ISRAEL ALWAYS RIGHT for the time when the Iraqis wake up to WHO actually did WHAT TO THEM, just as the Iranians have woken up to what the UK & US did to them ever since Mossadeg and the South Lebanese and the Egyptians. The list is never ending. by

the danger of not forgiving The many sacred texts speak of a day or a heart of forgiveness, why? to let someone else off the hook? no, it's bcause we who remain enflamed are at risk. At risk you say? The laws of karma/cause and effect/ what you sow you reap, are in effect, like gravity, whether you believe in them or not. The way out? to Forgive? Why? Because you are doomed to repeat the sins upon you, which stick like a stain, unless you release them to your higher power. Then and only then can the creative power who is ready to aid you all, will be or can even be perceived by you. We only perceive what we believe; and can only see what is within us. So Israelis and Palestinians alike are in this karma together, locked in without forgiveness, liberated with the release. Some say you will return in the next lifetime, and that you will return to be the people you hated the most. How is that for motivation? My Israeli friend Avi got it...how about us all...do you dare to? do you, do you? by

The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Presend danger facing Israel neighbors [Then there are the Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, who killed about 140 Israeli soldiers and 43 civilians in 2006, many of them with long range rockets that struck deep inside the Galilee, including Israel 's third largest city, Haifa. Hezbollah recently struck again with rockets at kibbutz Shlomi. Since the 2006 Lebanon war, Hezbollah has completely rearmed, and now has missiles that can strike at the heart of Tel Aviv.] Oh let me remind the writer about the thousand Lebanese who died during the war - all of them CIVILIANS, can you justify that? or am i an anti semetic? oh btw my brother's name is Sami. can you justify the bombing on civilians cars , schools, UNs, what about take a good look at this http://www.lgic.org/en/Israel-terrorism-on-lebanon.htm . can u see missiles hanging in the hands of the Lebanese? or the stupid isralian government was playing its dump civil war card on the Lebanese field which is still playing it untill this moment now. do you call that a present danger facing israel? please sir - before writing an article that concerns lebanon, i would like to suggest you read a little bit more about what is really going on there, its more respecting for the readers in here. by
