Ignorance is Bliss for Israel

It would seem no-one in the UK knows very much about Israel (lucky them) and by extension the Middle East. Although the article in the Jewish Chronicle suggests this is a bad thing its actually only bad for Palestine justice activists. You see justice activists rely on educating people about Israel-Palestine - which takes time. Israel relies on propaganda which works very quickly and can just ‘give positive feelings’ towards the country. Therefore having a nation of blank slates is perfect for them. They also know these blank slates are likely to be passive in the face of their on-going crimes - so long as they can continue to shape the media perception as them ‘retaliating’ to ‘terrorists’. As they said in their PR conference following the Lebanon 2006 War - “you need to shoot a picture before you shoot them” (Dr Ra’anan Gissin). If only it were all true. Londoners — well, some Londoners, anyway — believe that “Israelians”, part of a whopping population of 450 million, are getting ready to celebrate their 2,000th anniversary in their capital city. Which is, of course, Iran… or possibly Afghanistan. Some enterprising researchers from Bicom, the pro-Israel advocacy group, took a video camera out into the streets of London to discover what people did or did not know about Israel. The results, which will be posted on YouTube, were collated to highlight Bicom’s first Israel advocacy training conference, which is being held on April 6 on the JFS school’s campus in Kenton, North-West London. If these random responses are typical of the population as a whole, then pro-Israel groups may need to re-think their entire approach to outreach education. Beyond the chattering classes, it is not so much a learning curve as a learning flatline, a black hole of fairly good-humoured ignorance about the Middle East. From young professionals to single mothers, from people hanging out on park benches to cheerful fruiterers on London street markets, the responses — often uttered with considered authority — bear little resemblance to the truth. What are the Golan Heights, Bicom asked. One woman confidently explained: “They’re those buildings with tops, that look gold in certain weathers.” Who is this, the Bicom staffers said, showing respondents a picture of Israeli premier Ehud Olmert. “Bob Marley,” said one man. (We know the reggae icon sang about “Iron, Lion, Zion”, but that’s pushing it a bit.) Respondents were on safer ground when asked if they could name three famous Israelis. Two went for Eurovision winner Dana International, while one opted for Chelsea coach Avram Grant. But neither “Arafat” nor “Bin Laden” has ever been a famous Israeli. Geography was similarly dodgy: Israel’s capital was given as Iran or Afghanistan, while, when asked what countries bordered Israel, one woman riposted brightly: “Vietnam”. Lorna Fitzsimons, Bicom’s chief executive, said: “Perception is reality when it comes to most things. The video vox-pops we did for our conference, although for fun, show how little people actually know about Israel. There is a danger that we presume too much knowledge when we communicate messages about Israel to UK audiences. The conference is about stripping away these assumptions and getting down to the real view of Israel in Britain and how best to communicate with people accordingly.” The JC’s media commentator, Alex Brummer, will join — among others — the Israeli ambassador, Ron Prosor; John Spellar MP; DJ Collins, head of corporate communications for Google; Michael Prescott, managing director for the communications consultancy Weber Shandwick; and Rick Nye, managing director of pollster Populus, in running sessions during the advocacy day. The event is designed to give members of the community the skills and confidence to promote or defend Israel either in the media or in daily life and at work.

At War With “God”: The Saga Of The Palestinian People

When the voice announced on the car radio “Palestinian terrorist killed eight school children in Jerusalem”, I thought to myself ‘How horrible.’ As I was programmed to do by the wording of the news story, I imagined little children playing in a schoolyard when it all had taken place, killed in cold blood. On another broadcast the announcer had more details and mentioned the attack had been on ‘Seminary’ students, adding to the depravity of it all. I imagined these humble, little, monk-looking creatures praying for peace, harmony, and all that ‘love thy neighbor’ business that is supposed to be part of the Kingdom of God. ‘What an awful thing to do,’ I thought, ‘Simply horrible’. Like all things these tightly-controlled-information age, I suspected there was more to it than what they were saying. I got home and started reading. Then more reading, and then even more reading and then a little more, and sure enough, there it was–the ‘devil’ in the details as they always say. As it turns out there was another side to the coin we were not being told about, a side just as horrible as the initial story of the shooting itself, and in an instant, I came to the realization that this school shooting held the key to resolving, or at least understanding, the Palestinian-Israeli “conflict”, as most Western Media like to call it. As it turned out, the school in question (or rather, the ’seminary’ as they were referring to it) turned out to be a training camp for Jewish terrorists, not much different than the video footage we all see on mainstream news featuring Islamic militants running through obstacle courses with Kalashnikovs shouting ‘Alahu Akbar’! Like most things these days, it was cleverly disguised under the very religious-sounding name ‘Merkaz Harav,’ or the Rabbi Center. The Merkaz was established back in 1924 by Rabbi Abraham Yitzhak Kook, chief Rabbi of Palestine, a fact I found rather interesting, since Israel was established in 1948. I am not sure who ‘appointed’ him to that post, but that is another story for another time. As it turns out, the ‘good Rabbi’ was rabid not only in his support of Zionism but as well in the new ideology he himself concocted in the early 1900’s. Kook saw the Merkaz as the ultimate center for raising Jewish leaders who would build the “true” Jewish society in the land God had given ‘His people’ as a gift, the result of which would lead to universal and religious redemption. In short, the thin line separating heaven on earth from hell on earth was the Jewish people ‘redeeming’ the land of Palestine by whatever means were necessary. Over the years the Merkaz grew to become the number one extremist Zionist religious training camp in Palestine, where trainees are nursed on the ideology that Palestine was a gift from God and that it is their religious duty to drive away the inhabitants of the land in the manner “God” demanded. According to the Rabbi, this was the ONLY road to salvation and redemption. The Merkaz was seen by many as ‘God’s gift’ to the Zionist Movement because (after years of being shunned by Jewish religious sectors) finally came someone who interpreted Zionism to be the long-awaited messiah. Kook taught that the messiah is an entity that doesn’t necessary have to come in a human shape, meaning that it could be an idea. This goes a long way towards explaining much of the brutality perpetrated against the civilian population of Palestine by many of Israel’s leaders throughout recent history. One such ‘graduate’ of the Merkaz was David Raziel, the first commander of the terrorist group Irgun whose members have committed the despicable massacre of the village of Deir Yassin, where 250 men, women, children and elderly were butchered to death. The killings were done with machine guns, grenades, and knives. Some of the victims were decapitated. 52 children were killed and mutilated in front of their mothers. 25 pregnant women were cut open at the wombs and their babies were cut to pieces in front of their dying mothers. Those who survived were loaded up on trucks like cattle and taken to Jerusalem were they were paraded in the middle of a Jewish mob who lined up both sides of the streets spitting at them, throwing garbage, rocks, animal manure, shoes (and anything else they could get their hands on) at the frightened, shocked and awed Palestinians, and all of this in the name of ‘redemption’. Menachem Begin, who later became Prime Minister of Israel, and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was the infamous father and planner of the Deir Yassin Massacre, issued a statement following the massacre congratulating the Jewish murderers for their holy handiwork– “Accept my congratulations on this splendid act of conquest. Convey my regards to all the commanders and soldiers. We shake your hands. We are all proud of the excellent leadership and the fighting spirit in this great attack…Tell the soldiers: you have made history in Israel with your attack and your conquest. Continue this until victory. As in Deir Yassin, so everywhere, we will attack and smite the enemy. God, God, Thou has chosen us for conquest.” The Merkaz Harav became one of the most influential religious centers in Israel to effect policy regarding the illegal Jewish settlements on Palestinian lands. The notorious Israeli terrorist group Gush Emunim was founded within this Merkaz and called for settling the Jews on Palestinian land, again, a ‘gift from God’ to the Jews. In 1974 Shimon Peres (current Israeli president and the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize) was Defense Minister of Israel at the time, which meant that the Occupied Palestinian Territories were under his watch. Under his command this terrorist movement was helped in acquiring land in the West bank through terror and harassment of the legitimate Palestinian owners to build illegal Jewish settlements throughout the West bank and Gaza. Peres called this policy “functional compromise” in order to receive the political support of the Gush Emunim and settler movements. It must be remembered that the influence of the settler movements in Israeli politics is by no means inconsequential. Rather, it is widespread through the many thousands of students who graduate from this Merkaz and others end up holding positions in government, military, academic, and many other facets of Israeli society. No Israeli government has been spared the wrath of this extremist movement whose influence is increasing day by day since 1974 up to the present and whose is one of “the State of Israel is the foundation upon which rests the Throne of God in this world”. As controversial as it may sound, the fact is that over the ages Judaism has seen many transformations in its theology to the point where one would be safe describing it as a totally different religion throughout its history. The followers of Judaism throughout the ages have depended mainly on the Rabbis for their understanding of the doctrine. The different schools of thought have seen their highs and lows depending on the power and strength of the Rabbis at the time. Today in Israel, the dominating theology is the teaching of a lone American Rabbi (known as ‘the Rebbe’ to his followers) Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, whose students consider him to be the Messiah. It was (is) believed he is the one who will lead the Jews to redemption, although he died in 1994. After his death Congressmen Chuck Schumer, John Lewis, Newt Gingrich, and Jerry Lewis along with 220 other Congressmen bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal on the Rebbe, and the Senate followed suit and president Clinton even spoke at the Medal-awarding ceremony saying: ‘The late Rebbe’s eminence as a moral leader for our country was recognized by every president since Richard Nixon.’ I looked up the Congressional Gold Medal and I found the following: “A Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian award which may be bestowed by the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the United States government. The decoration is awarded to an individual who performs an outstanding deed or act of service to the security, prosperity, and national interest of the United States” and then I looked at the Rebbe’s deepest thoughts and I found this: “The difference between a Jewish and a non-Jewish person stems from the common expression: ‘Let us differentiate.’ Thus, we do not have a case of profound change in which a person is merely on a superior level. Rather, we have a case of ‘let us differentiate’ between totally different species. This is what needs to be said about the body: the body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of all nations of the world … A non-Jew’s entire reality is only vanity. The entire creation exists only for the sake of the Jews…” I believe the reader would agree that with a such statements this man could easily be described as a racist, Jewish supremacist whose thoughts and expressions went against the freedom and equality that the institution known as Congress was built upon. But yet, incredibly, we find the men and women who swore to uphold the constitution of the United States sold out their conscience and the American principles of “freedom and justice for all” for 30 pieces of silver. Jewish religious leaders have always compared the Palestinians to the ancient Canaanites whose extermination and/or expulsion are predestined by divine design according to scriptures. This again explains the attitude of the people of Israel in their sympathy towards the demands of the religious parties of Israel in expelling Palestinians from their land. Jewish law does permit some non-Jews to reside in the land of Israel under certain conditions, which can be summed up thus–”must pay taxes and accept suffering, humiliation and servitude” as expressed by Mordechai Nisan of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem who relied upon the law of Maimonides. For those not acquainted with the law of ‘great’ doctor of Jewish law Maimonides, the law demands the following–that a non-Jew be held down, that he not raise his head against Jews, that no non-Jews may be appointed to any office or position of power over Jews, and if such non-Jews refuse to live under these conditions then this is a signal of disobedience which necessitates Jewish warfare against them in cleansing the land of Israel of their presence. In 1990 a book published by Shlomo Aviner of the Merkaz Harav gives answers to some of the questions that arose during the First Palestinian Intifada. One question was: “is there a difference between punishing an Arab child and an Arab adult for disturbance of our peace?’ The answer began by cautioning Jews ‘not to compare Jews and non Jews’ in applying Jewish laws, and particularly when it comes to punishing a Jewish boy under the age of thirteen and Jewish girls under the age of twelve. The point was clear–the laws of Maimonides were written for Jews alone. The Rabbi summed it up by saying that any non-Jew must pay for any crime committed, but not necessarily so for the Jews themselves. This explains in part why there is such a huge number of children either killed by the Jewish army and their settler thugs or held in Israeli prisons. A militant speech by Rabbi Ya’acov Shapira, head of the Merkaz following the recent attack in Jerusalem read: “This monstrous attack must bring about a major and substantial change. We call upon and demand from the Government of Israel to wake up and to fight to the end, without mercy, against the enemies of Israel. This is a terrible crisis! It is one of private mourning and of national mourning. But the Yeshiva will continue its path of study, teaching, growing and disseminating the Torah of Israel in our complete and holy Land of Israel.” Instead of realizing that the attack was in response to the mass murder of non Jews (Muslim and Christian Arabs) the Yeshiva continues with its kill-all policy by asking the government to “fight to the end” against the Palestinian people and to do so without mercy. The school vowed to continue its path of disseminating its hate and its murderous teachings of cleansing completely their “holy Land of Israel” in the hope that this will lead to “Universal Redemption.” Many of the “students” at the Merkaz have completed their army service and many are still IDF officers. This is clear from the report in Haaretz published March 8, 2008 where a “student” by the name of Yitzhak Danon told Israeli Channel 2 that he “fired two shots into the attacker’s head.” One question that comes to mind is this–When was it the last time you have heard of students carrying a high-powered automatic machine gun to school? And remember, this is no ‘ordinary’ school; we were told it’s a seminary. Something is not adding up here, these students at the Yeshiva are armed and dangerous. In the words of Rabbi Shapira, the “Yeshiva served as training base for Rabbis and students who went out to settle all parts of the Land of Israel”, and in the words of Rabbi Kook on the eve of the 1967 war: “Yes, where is our Hebron? Have we forgotten it? Where is our chechem (Nablus)? And Jericho? Will we forget them? And the far side of the Jordan, it’s ours, every clod of soil, every region and bit of earth belonging to the Lord.” Well, the problem is the land has been inhabited for the last few thousands of years by the people of the land, the original people of the land, not the Judaic Europeans who think “God” had given it to them as a gift. Rabbi Kook also declared a religious prohibition–meaning God’s orders–against ceding any part of the Land of Israel to non-Jews. In other words he told his people that “God” says in effect ‘Don’t leave any non-Jews on the land, they all must be killed.’ This declaration–in the word’s of the Yeshiva spokesman, Yehoshua Mor-Yousef is as follows–”This is the basis of all that we believe in.” This is a clear call for a genocidal war against the Palestinian people by the largest religious “school” in Israel. Over the years this Merkaz has issued extreme religious decrees giving license to Israeli soldiers to kill Palestinian civilians, including if it can be believed, children. Rabbi Lior, an associate of the Merkaz and a former student of the Yeshiva who is also the Rabbi of the illegal Jewish settlement Kiryat Arba told Israeli soldiers and Jewish militants (many of them former students of the Yeshiva) that it is permissible to kill Palestinian children. It is a growing understanding amongst many religious Israelis with Messianic Zionist beliefs that Jews must expedite the cleansing of the land process to induce the redemption by killing as many Palestinians as possible to create the appropriate condition for the messiah to appear in their own lifetime. The leaders of the religious parties in Israel (and especially the Mirkaz Ha’arv) strongly oppose any peace settlement with the Palestinians. Furthermore, the idea of creating a Palestinian State in the West Bank, and Gaza with East-Jerusalem as its capital is a redline that will only take place over their dead bodies. The idea of swapping peace for land is in total opposition to their religious beliefs, as it would prevent their ‘messiah’ from appearing. This being the case, any negotiating with Israel is meaningless as long as the religious parties are in control of Israeli politics. The influence of the religious parties in the Israeli army goes much deeper than their presence in the political arena. This again explains the brutality and barbaric nature of the actions of the Israeli Army regarding the Palestinians. Two weeks ago Rabbi Hershel Schachter, the Dean of Yeshiva University, told students to think before they enlist in the army, saying: “There is no mitzvah (commandment) to destroy the land of Israel…If the army asks you to destroy any of the settlements, and if the government orders the army to divide Jerusalem, I would tell everyone to resign from the army. I would tell them to shoot the Prime Minister.” This whole theology was shaped by the founder of the Mirkaz, Rabbi Kook, who once boasted that “The difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews - all of them in all different levels - is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.” It is no wonder then that members of the Israeli army have no remorse after killing Palestinian children since they do not consider them humans. To a Jew killing a Palestinian is just like hunting a rabbit or duck in the wilderness. It’s even worse than that, since in the world of hunting there are hunting seasons with ‘rules of engagement’ that one must adhere to, but in Palestine it’s open season all year. With all this in mind, it is easier now for us to understand the dominant religious thought in Israel and why many religious Jews throughout the world believe that ‘the redemption’ is at hand. They believe that the power of Satan (manifested in non-Jews) must be defeated. Therefore the stealing of non-Jewish land in Palestine is considered redemption of the land by its being taken into Jewish hands. They believe that being transferred from the satanic to the divine sphere ‘cleanses’ it of evil. They look at it as land that has been sanctified. This also might explain the fact that a Jew in Israel can kill a non-Jew and get away with it, but if a non-Jew kills a Jew it is considered under Jewish law as the worst possible crime. Relying upon the code of Maimonides and Jewish law known as Halacha it is stated that a ‘Jew who kills a non-Jew is exempt from human judgment’ as he (or she) has not violated the prohibition of murder according to Jewish law which Israel’s law is based upon. Jewish Rabbis have always maintained that Jews who killed Arabs should not be punished. This is clear by the demands of both Labor, Likud, and Kadima governments of Israel by insisting on not releasing Palestinian prisoners with Jewish blood on their hands. If that is not enough, Jewish law provides for the taking of body parts of non-Jews to save the life of a Jew, according another Rabbi at the Mirkas Harav, Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg. Ginsburg said the killing of Palestinians is a “Jewish virtue”. Going a step further, Rabbi Dov Lior, one of Rabbi Kook’s top students proposed using captured (kidnapped) Palestinians in conducting medical experiments. Just as scientists use laboratory rats for testing, Jewish theology allows non-Jews for such use as well. Let us listen more to what these 21st century lunatics say: “Don’t we have any powerful friends whatsoever? Let’s open our Tenach (Bible) to BaMidbar (Numbers), chapter 33:50-53, and 55. These scriptures make it very clear that we do have a powerful friend. The G-d of the Bible is on Israel’s side.” And where do they get this idea, that God is on their side? From here, book of Numbers, 35– “And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying: ‘Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places. And ye shall drive out the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it… But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those that ye let remain of them be as thorns in your eyes, and as pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell.” Recently, Shmuel Eliyahu, Chief rabbi of Safad told the Israeli government to officially allow Israelis to “revenge against Arabs.” He proposed hanging the children of the person who attacked the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva from a tree, and to do it to everyone who attacks Israel until they (Palestinians) scream enough “to the point where they fall flat on their face and scream help”. He also said the Palestinians need to “understand very well the language of revenge.” Now enters the hypocrisy and political prostitution of our own Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, who said of the Yeshiva attack–’The United States condemns tonight’s act of terror and depravity”, “This barbarous act has no place among civilized peoples and shocks the conscience of all peace loving nations. There is no cause that could ever justify this action.” This comes as the Israeli army was killing not just children, but infants in Gaza, deliberately which is not considered barbaric from the conscience of the “peace loving” nation of Israel and the US government. The conscience of all “peace loving nations” is not shocked when Palestinian children are buried under the rubble of their homes while sleeping in their cribs. Worse yet, that conscience looked the other way when heads and many body parts were scattered in the streets of Gaza just a day before the attack on the terrorist Yeshiva training center. President Bush spoke with the President of China over the harsh crackdown of the Tibetan Intifada, but had no words for the Israeli President, or the Prime Minister for the barbaric, inhumane, savage way in dealing with the Palestinian people’s call for freedom from oppression. America’s conscience is long overdue for a reality check when it comes to its being a civilized and modernized nation of people. In conclusion, the Palestinian people have limited options to choose from when it comes to solving their 60 years of occupation and Diaspora: One they might want to try convincing “God” to change his mind about awarding the land to the Jews, that perhaps He should instead “reveal” a new covenant with the Jews requiring them to share a piece of it with the Palestinians as a way of redeeming themselves and that maybe they should just forget all about this idea of being “chosen” to kill the Palestinians to get to heaven. This is sure to be a difficult feat to accomplish, since the two way communications with “God” ended with Mohammed (PBUH). The only other option is to convince Israel and the US to close down all Jewish Yeshivas that teach and promote the “kill-the-Palestinians” theology. The war on terror–if it is to be genuine and if it is to be effective, must go to the roots of terror, and one such root is the idea that Jews are superiors to non-Jews and that “God” is a racist God who chooses people based on their particular ‘race’ instead of their deeds. Those who would quibble at such suggestions of re-examining the racist tenets of Jewish thinking should ask the question–is this not what the world has heard these last 7 years when it comes to Islam? Achieving peace in the “Land of Peace” requires yet another transformation of the Jewish religion to accept co-existence with Christians and Muslims in the land of Palestine.

Deir Yassin Remembered

Early in the morning of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Irgun (headed by Menachem Begin -Nobel Prize Winner) and the Stern Gang attacked Deir Yassin, a village with about 750 Palestinian residents. The village lay outside of the area to be assigned by the United Nations to the Jewish State; it had a peaceful reputation. But it was located on high ground in the corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Deir Yassin was slated for occupation under Plan Dalet and the mainstream Jewish defense force, the Haganah, authorized the irregular terrorist forces of the Irgun and the Stern Gang to perform the takeover. In all over 100 men, women, and children were systematically murdered. Fifty-three orphaned children were literally dumped along the wall of the Old City, where they were found by Miss Hind Husseini and brought behind the American Colony Hotel to her home, which was to become the Dar El-Tifl El-Arabi orphanage. Part of the struggle for self-determination by Palestinians has been to tell the truth about Palestinians as victims of Zionism. For too long their history has been denied, and this denial has only served to further oppress and deliberately dehumanize Palestinians in Israel, inside the occupied territories, and outside in their diaspora. Some progress has been made. Westerners now realize that Palestinians, as a people, do exist. And they have come to acknowledge that during the creation of the state of Israel, thousands of Palestinians were killed and over 700,000 were driven or frightened from their homes and lands on which they had lived for centuries. Deir Yassin Remembered seeks similar progress on behalf of the victims of the Deir Yassin Massacre . . . Permanent Memorial to the Israeli Holocaust Against the Palestinians In New York: A Monument to the Deir Yassin Massacre Significance: There are very few memorials to "the other holocaust," the Israeli holocaust against the Palestinians, anywhere on planet earth. Finger-pointing and apportioning blame for this enormous oversight is outside the scope of this page. Let us instead give thanks for the fact that one group of Americans, allied with international colleagues, supporters and survivors of the Israeli war crime at Deir Yassin, created this humble, but stark and effective, permanent monument, so that the memory of the victims will live on. How to Get There From Geneva, New York: Take Interstate 90 or New York Route 14 to Geneva. Travel south on Route 14 (South Main Street) until South Main Street descends down a steep hill.

WASHINGTON, YOU’RE FIRED

“WASHINGTON, YOU’RE FIRED!” was born out of shear frustration with abuses in our current political system and it gives a voice to Americans across the country. Producers Lewis and Abel trailed their way across the United States on an expedition to pull together the thoughts and requirements that everyday Americans have for their political representatives in Washington, D.C. The results were staggering and their stories are moving. From the mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts and law enforcement abuses to the wrongful imprisonment and torturing of legal enemy combatants and misuse of the FBI and NSA -- nothing is taboo in this disturbing look at the dark side of government. The American people know in their hearts that a problem exists in our current political structure and their solutions are simple, direct, and honest. Washington, You’re Fired captures the spirit and zest of an old fashioned Boston tea party and captivatingly delivers the audience an education into legislation that will affect them and generations of Americans to come.

Greek neo-Nazi gets 14 months for book denying the Holocaust

In his book, Costas Plevris writes: “To begin with I declare that I am a Nazi, a fascist, a racist, an anti-democrat, an anti-Semite. Jews are mortal enemies and deserve the firing squad." ATHENS (EJP)---A militant Greek neo-Nazi was sentenced to a 14-month suspended sentence on Thursday for inciting to hatred with his book denying the Holocaust. After four days of trial, Costas Plevris, a lawyer, writer and presenter of a marginal TV station, was found guilty of inciting to hatred with his 1,400 page book titled “Jews: the Whole Truth” denying the Holocaust and containing offensive references to Jews. In his book, the author writes: “To begin with, I declare that I am a Nazi, a fascist, a racist, an anti-democrat, an anti-Semite. Jews are mortal enemies and deserve the firing squad." It was Greece’s first such trial under a anti-discrimination law passed in 1979. Once Plevris’ book was published in May 2006, the Greek Helsinki Monitor, an NGO that monitors human rights in Greece, immediately filled a complaint against him under the law. "We thank the Greek justice system for its dignity and for demonstrating that we truly live in a democratic society," Moses Costantinis, president of the Central Board of Jews of Greece, said after the trial. Panayote Dimitras, from the Greek human rights organisation that initiated the case, called the judgement "historic". Leaders of the umbrella group Central Board of Jewish communities in Greece (CJBG) testified at the court that the book has led to a spike in attacks on Jewish monuments in the country. "After the book was published, attacks against Jewish sites increased," said Moses Costantinis, head of the Board, said. On trial together with Plevris, the publisher, the editor and a journalist of the extreme-right weekly newspaper “Elefteros Kosmos” were found not guilty. Benjamin Albalas, head of the Jewish Community of Athens, said before the court that the book "incites violence and encourages people to kill us." Defence lawyers said their clients were being persecuted for freely expressing their views. The Jewish community saw the trial as a key test of the Greek authorities’ determination to deal with anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. http://www.ejpress.org/article/22508

Contours of the Revolution

critical mass is near, and a choice must be made I have been accused of preaching to the choir, of talking to only those who know something is wrong, that everything is corrupt, that there is a plan, well advanced, to kill all of us who disagree with the wealthy predators who are poisoning our world for their perverted profits. I am happy to report that the choir is growing, by leaps and bounds, in every city and town and farming village around the world. Everyone realizes something is wrong and something has to be done about it. It is up to each of us to realize it, and act immediately on our convictions, for the mass extermination plan is well advanced, if not irreversible. It is widely realized by now that all the governments of the world are illegitimate. Created by bribery, extortion and manipulated media hogwash, these governments drug their people, brainwash their children, and murder people for profit to keep those who aspire to genuine freedom terrified of speaking out. In the United States, the last several elections have been blatantly fixed. The coming election is no different: the final candidates have been chosen by the power elite and assuredly will not change the suicidal course of action now being followed, no matter what hollow platitudes they try to get you to believe. The time is long past for real people, honest people, to take over the world, create governments that are fair and humane, and incarcerate those who by their twisted attitude of privilege have succeeded in turning our world into an open sewer. How can this be done? you ask. This has always been the sticking point. Who are we to oppose maniacs with nuclear weapons, or gigantic government systems that are poisoning us from the air and in our supermarkets? We are, in fact, the most powerful force on Earth. The one thing that can and must never be extinguished is our individual hope for freedom and happiness. And that is precisely what the powers that be, created by fraudulent philosophies developed into corrupt practices and enforced by those who do not realize that one person is equal in value to any other, are trying to extinguish. The only thing that can defeat these warped homewreckers is our belief in ourselves, and our solidarity with each other as simple, loving, respectful human beings, no more important than anybody else. You must remember, above all else, that one single person is potentially as valuable as any other, and since it is our fate to live only a limited amount of time, that we die, and one day will be gone and forgotten, just like every other living being on this planet, we must realize that everyone else is in exactly the same boat as we are. Once you really realize this — and realize it in all its emotional fullness — you will never be able to kill another living thing — unless it is for food, in which case you must do as the nearly extinct Native Americans do: Ask permission of the great creator to take this spirit in order to survive. That has always been the law of life, and will continue to be. But this is a law that never pertains to taking the life of a member of one’s own species. That is simply stupid, because we are all in this together, and taking the life of a member of one’s own species always means that your objective in killing that person is a superfluous illusion, because we are all in this together. Think about it. Can you really live this life by yourself, or is the meaning you establish in this life not measured by those you have touched and loved? Every soul who is killed needlessly diminishes the lives of those who have taken it. In this direction the world has plummeted for centuries, to the point where we are now within easy reach of killing all life on this planet forever. In fact, some say that we have passed this point, and nothing more can be done to save life on Earth. The situation is too far gone, they insist. Maybe this is true, but if we are to live, and still aspire to freedom, we can’t afford to think that way. Life is the thing to be preserved, and creating death wherever we go is simply not the way to preserve it. The one exception, of course, is self-defense. When someone is trying to kill you, you have a perfect right to kill them, but only in self-defense. All the governments, all the philosophies, and all the religions of the world are illegitimate. They are all based on the fear of death, and on the figmented survival of death through whatever creative religious minds have chosen to invent. And, not so coincidentally, they are all conspiring in a population reduction program, which necessarily involves killing many of us. This psychological denial of death is precisely what has caused all the carnage from time immemorial. Although this killing has been rationalized as fear of starvation or fear of loss of possessions, the real reason for it has always been not recognizing that every other person has the same value, the same legitimacy, as you do. So, to kill someone else is really to kill yourself as an honest human being with integrity and compassion. It is the condition of our world that many people who have killed other people find themselves in that degraded and dysfunctional condition from which they may not recover, except through the understanding of what they have done. And when they do understand it, they will never do it again. So let us as a society in solidarity leap to that point, and disempower all those who would disagree. This is the way to a peaceful future. More unjustifiable homicides never justify a better life. All the trinkets in the world cannot make it so. Now, about what to do. The odds of disempowering the predators seem so daunting. The knowledge that our governments, our philosophies, and our religions are trying to kill so many of us, presents us with an immediate problem, namely, the preservation of our lives. We have reached the point where anybody who advocates the killing of others must be killed off. And this is the human conundrum. When we kill others in self-defense, do we become like them? Do we become, in fact, worse than them, because we have killed after thinking it through first? Is there an alternative? Do we let them kill us because we don’t want to kill? No, that’s out of the question, because then we would be dead, and the objective, for all of us, is to stay alive. But how can we justify killing someone else? Even if they are clearly evil? Doesn’t that make us hypocrites? Contours of the Revolution -- Four Winds 10 - fourwinds10.com What if you were an Iraqi father whose daughter has just been raped and killed by American troops (which has happened so often lately)? Would you be justified in killing the perpetrators, should you find out who they are and have the opportunity to kill them? Christianity, which was created by Jews, says no. I say that’s bullshit. That’s what allows Jews to kill innocent people openly and get away with it. Remember, Jews don’t have a problem killing anybody, because they regard all non-Jews are cattle. Thus, this is your choice. Will you allow yourself to be killed, or kill those who are trying to kill you? Each person must decide for him or herself. But I think it’s time to let our governments, and our philosophical and religious leaders, know exactly how we feel about this, and embark on the course we have chosen, immediately if not sooner. And while you are busy deliberating, and deciding upon which course you will choose — to defend yourself or let yourself be killed by heartless predators — ponder on these following thoughts. Penalty of an ancient grief First from ancient Greece .... Those from whom Persephone accepts the penalty for an ancient grief — she sends back their souls to the sun up above in the ninth year; from them grow noble kinds and men swift in strength and outstanding in wisdom, and for the rest of time they are called holy heroes by mankind. The idea that the soul is divine, derived from the heavenly Dionysus, and that it is enclosed in the "Titanic" body, produced a new understanding of human origin and destiny: humans now, if properly enlightened and initiated into the Orphic mysteries, could claim to be on a journey back to their divine origin. This has been termed "the journey of the soul": the soul originated in God, became incarnate here on earth, and is destined to return to God. Plato preserves one of the most famous Orphic sayings in antiquity. He writes, enigmatically: "Perhaps we are actually dead, for I once heard one of our wise men say that we are now dead, and our body is a tomb" (Plato, Gorgias 493a). This statement lays out one of the quintessential Orphic doctrines — in Greek, Soma sema ("The body is a tomb"). We learn a great deal more about this saying in another passage: Some say that the body is the grave (sema) of the soul which may be thought to be buried in the present life, or again the index of the soul, because the soul gives indications (semainei) to the body. Probably the Orphic poets were the inventors of the name, and they were under the impression that the soul is suffering the punishment of sin, and the body is an enclosure or prison in which the soul is incarcerated, kept safe (soma, sozetai) as the name some implies, until the penalty is paid. (Plato, Cratylus 400c). — Gregory C.

It is also most likely not mere coincidence (based upon which particular spelling used–Israil, Izrael or Azrail)that it is also happens to be the name given to the angel of death.

AIPAC TRIAL POSPONED INDEFINITELY

A judge has again delayed the trial of two pro-Israel lobbyists after prosecutors indicated they may take an unusual pre-trial appeal of a ruling on what classified information the defense may present to the jury. At a hearing today in federal court in Alexandria, Va., Judge Thomas Ellis III postponed indefinitely the trial that had been set for April 29for the two former employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman Messrs. Rosen and Weissman were charged in 2005 with conspiring to receive classified information and pass it on to journalists and foreign diplomats. Prosecutors told Judge Ellis that they are likely to file a notice of appeal of a lengthy order he issued Wednesday after months of hearings under the Classified Information Protection Act. Lawyers close to the case cautioned that the notice is simply a mechanism to protect the government's right to appeal and does not necessarily mean an appeal will be pursued. A spokesman for the prosecution, James Rybicki, confirmed the in-courtroom events. He would not comment on whether prosecutors had approval from officials in the Solicitor General's office at the Justice Department to pursue an appeal, which would be directed to the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Va Mr. Rosen's defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, expressed frustration over the further delay. "It now appears the government does not want to try this case," Mr. Lowell told The New York Sun this evening. "They filed these charges almost three years ago without thinking them through and there doesn't appear to be anybody in the government with either the authority or the courage to admit they made a mistake. The delays are devastating to Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman." Mr. Lowell's suggestion of disarray in the prosecution team seemed to refer to the fact that a longtime lead prosecutor on the case, Kevin DiGregory, quit last month and took a job with a private law firm. Under the law, an appeal of the classified-information order is supposed to be expedited, but lawyers said it was unclear how quickly the 4th Circuit would move if an appeal is pursued. At issue is an order of more than 270 pages that Judge Ellis issued setting out what classified information the defense can use at trial and how classified information can be paraphrased or substituted. The judge cannot force the government to abide by the order, but he has the authority to dismiss the case or to impose some other sanction such as partial dismissal or exclusion of evidence important to the government. In federal court, appeals are not usually permitted during pretrial proceedings, but the classified-information law, known as Cipa, permits them. Nevertheless, such appeals are rare. One previous Cipa appeal in the 4th Circuit was taken in the case of a former CIA station chief for Costa Rica charged with making false statements in the Iran-Contra probe, Joseph Fernandez. A district judge in Alexandria, Claude Hilton, threw the case out after the government refused to accept his rulings on what classified information was essential to the defense. The 4th Circuit upheld the dismissal. Judge Ellis indicated today that he plans to hold another hearing next week to discuss how to proceed with the case against Messrs. Rosen and Weissman.

Jewish 'Peoplehood' An Epic Fabrication?

Shattering a 'national mythology' Of all the national heroes who have arisen from among the Jewish people over the generations, fate has not been kind to Dahia al-Kahina, a leader of the Berbers in the Aures Mountains. Although she was a proud Jewess, few Israelis have ever heard the name of this warrior-queen who, in the seventh century C.E., united a number of Berber tribes and pushed back the Muslim army that invaded North Africa. It is possible that the reason for this is that al-Kahina was the daughter of a Berber tribe that had converted to Judaism, apparently several generations before she was born, sometime around the 6th century C.E. According to the Tel Aviv University historian, Prof. Shlomo Sand, author of "Matai ve'ech humtza ha'am hayehudi?" ("When and How the Jewish People Was Invented?"; Resling, in Hebrew), the queen's tribe and other local tribes that converted to Judaism are the main sources from which Spanish Jewry sprang. This claim that the Jews of North Africa originated in indigenous tribes that became Jewish - and not in communities exiled from Jerusalem - is just one element of the far- reaching argument set forth in Sand's new book. In this work, the author attempts to prove that the Jews now living in Israel and other places in the world are not at all descendants of the ancient people who inhabited the Kingdom of Judea during the First and Second Temple period. Their origins, according to him, are in varied peoples that converted to Judaism during the course of history, in different corners of the Mediterranean Basin and the adjacent regions. Not only are the North African Jews for the most part descendants of pagans who converted to Judaism, but so are the Jews of Yemen (remnants of the Himyar Kingdom in the Arab Peninsula, who converted to Judaism in the fourth century) and the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe (refugees from the Kingdom of the Khazars, who converted in the eighth century). Unlike other "new historians" who have tried to undermine the assumptions of Zionist historiography, Sand does not content himself with going back to 1948 or to the beginnings of Zionism, but rather goes back thousands of years. He tries to prove that the Jewish people never existed as a "nation-race" with a common origin, but rather is a colorful mix of groups that at various stages in history adopted the Jewish religion. He argues that for a number of Zionist ideologues, the mythical perception of the Jews as an ancient people led to truly racist thinking: "There were times when if anyone argued that the Jews belong to a people that has gentile origins, he would be classified as an anti-Semite on the spot. Today, if anyone dares to suggest that those who are considered Jews in the world ... have never constituted and still do not constitute a people or a nation - he is immediately condemned as a hater of Israel." According to Sand, the description of the Jews as a wandering and self-isolating nation of exiles, "who wandered across seas and continents, reached the ends of the earth and finally, with the advent of Zionism, made a U-turn and returned en masse to their orphaned homeland," is nothing but "national mythology." Like other national movements in Europe, which sought out a splendid Golden Age, through which they invented a heroic past - for example, classical Greece or the Teutonic tribes - to prove they have existed since the beginnings of history, "so, too, the first buds of Jewish nationalism blossomed in the direction of the strong light that has its source in the mythical Kingdom of David." So when, in fact, was the Jewish people invented, in Sand's view? At a certain stage in the 19th century, intellectuals of Jewish origin in Germany, influenced by the folk character of German nationalism, took upon themselves the task of inventing a people "retrospectively," out of a thirst to create a modern Jewish people. From historian Heinrich Graetz on, Jewish historians began to draw the history of Judaism as the history of a nation that had been a kingdom, became a wandering people and ultimately turned around and went back to its birthplace. Actually, most of your book does not deal with the invention of the Jewish people by modern Jewish nationalism, but rather with the question of where the Jews come from. Sand: "My initial intention was to take certain kinds of modern historiographic materials and examine how they invented the 'figment' of the Jewish people. But when I began to confront the historiographic sources, I suddenly found contradictions. And then that urged me on: I started to work, without knowing where I would end up. I took primary sources and I tried to examine authors' references in the ancient period - what they wrote about conversion." Sand, an expert on 20th-century history, has until now researched the intellectual history of modern France (in "Ha'intelektual, ha'emet vehakoah: miparashat dreyfus ve'ad milhemet hamifrats" - "Intellectuals, Truth and Power, From the Dreyfus Affair to the Gulf War"; Am Oved, in Hebrew). Unusually, for a professional historian, in his new book he deals with periods that he had never researched before, usually relying on studies that present unorthodox views of the origins of the Jews. Experts on the history of the Jewish people say you are dealing with subjects about which you have no understanding and are basing yourself on works that you can't read in the original. "It is true that I am an historian of France and Europe, and not of the ancient period. I knew that the moment I would start dealing with early periods like these, I would be exposed to scathing criticism by historians who specialize in those areas. But I said to myself that I can't stay just with modern historiographic material without examining the facts it describes. Had I not done this myself, it would have been necessary to have waited for an entire generation. Had I continued to deal with France, perhaps I would have been given chairs at the university and provincial glory. But I decided to relinquish the glory." Inventing the Diaspora "After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people remained faithful to it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom" - thus states the preamble to the Israeli Declaration of Independence. This is also the quotation that opens the third chapter of Sand's book, entitled "The Invention of the Diaspora." Sand argues that the Jewish people's exile from its land never happened. "The supreme paradigm of exile was needed in order to construct a long-range memory in which an imagined and exiled nation-race was posited as the direct continuation of 'the people of the Bible' that preceded it," Sand explains. Under the influence of other historians who have dealt with the same issue in recent years, he argues that the exile of the Jewish people is originally a Christian myth that depicted that event as divine punishment imposed on the Jews for having rejected the Christian gospel. "I started looking in research studies about the exile from the land - a constitutive event in Jewish history, almost like the Holocaust. But to my astonishment I discovered that it has no literature. The reason is that no one exiled the people of the country. The Romans did not exile peoples and they could not have done so even if they had wanted to. They did not have trains and trucks to deport entire populations. That kind of logistics did not exist until the 20th century. From this, in effect, the whole book was born: in the realization that Judaic society was not dispersed and was not exiled." If the people was not exiled, are you saying that in fact the real descendants of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Judah are the Palestinians? "No population remains pure over a period of thousands of years. But the chances that the Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Judaic people are much greater than the chances that you or I are its descendents. The first Zionists, up until the Arab Revolt [1936-9], knew that there had been no exiling, and that the Palestinians were descended from the inhabitants of the land. They knew that farmers don't leave until they are expelled. Even Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, the second president of the State of Israel, wrote in 1929 that, 'the vast majority of the peasant farmers do not have their origins in the Arab conquerors, but rather, before then, in the Jewish farmers who were numerous and a majority in the building of the land.'" And how did millions of Jews appear around the Mediterranean Sea? "The people did not spread, but the Jewish religion spread. Judaism was a converting religion. Contrary to popular opinion, in early Judaism there was a great thirst to convert others. The Hasmoneans were the first to begin to produce large numbers of Jews through mass conversion, under the influence of Hellenism. The conversions between the Hasmonean Revolt and Bar Kochba's rebellion are what prepared the ground for the subsequent, wide-spread dissemination of Christianity. After the victory of Christianity in the fourth century, the momentum of conversion was stopped in the Christian world, and there was a steep drop in the number of Jews. Presumably many of the Jews who appeared around the Mediterranean became Christians. But then Judaism started to permeate other regions - pagan regions, for example, such as Yemen and North Africa. Had Judaism not continued to advance at that stage and had it not continued to convert people in the pagan world, we would have remained a completely marginal religion, if we survived at all." How did you come to the conclusion that the Jews of North Africa were originally Berbers who converted? "I asked myself how such large Jewish communities appeared in Spain. And then I saw that Tariq ibn Ziyad, the supreme commander of the Muslims who conquered Spain, was a Berber, and most of his soldiers were Berbers. Dahia al-Kahina's Jewish Berber kingdom had been defeated only 15 years earlier. And the truth is there are a number of Christian sources that say many of the conquerors of Spain were Jewish converts. The deep-rooted source of the large Jewish community in Spain was those Berber soldiers who converted to Judaism." Sand argues that the most crucial demographic addition to the Jewish population of the world came in the wake of the conversion of the kingdom of Khazaria - a huge empire that arose in the Middle Ages on the steppes along the Volga River, which at its height ruled over an area that stretched from the Georgia of today to Kiev. In the eighth century, the kings of the Khazars adopted the Jewish religion and made Hebrew the written language of the kingdom. From the 10th century the kingdom weakened; in the 13th century is was utterly defeated by Mongol invaders, and the fate of its Jewish inhabitants remains unclear. Sand revives the hypothesis, which was already suggested by historians in the 19th and 20th centuries, according to which the Judaized Khazars constituted the main origins of the Jewish communities in Eastern Europe. "At the beginning of the 20th century there is a tremendous concentration of Jews in Eastern Europe - three million Jews in Poland alone," he says. "The Zionist historiography claims that their origins are in the earlier Jewish community in Germany, but they do not succeed in explaining how a small number of Jews who came from Mainz and Worms could have founded the Yiddish people of Eastern Europe. The Jews of Eastern Europe are a mixture of Khazars and Slavs who were pushed eastward." 'Degree of perversion' If the Jews of Eastern Europe did not come from Germany, why did they speak Yiddish, which is a Germanic language? "The Jews were a class of people dependent on the German bourgeoisie in the East, and thus they adopted German words. Here I base myself on the research of linguist Paul Wechsler of Tel Aviv University, who has demonstrated that there is no etymological connection between the German Jewish language of the Middle Ages and Yiddish. As far back as 1828, the Ribal (Rabbi Isaac Ber Levinson) said that the ancient language of the Jews was not Yiddish. Even Ben Zion Dinur, the father of Israeli historiography, was not hesitant about describing the Khazars as the origin of the Jews in Eastern Europe, and describes Khazaria as 'the mother of the diasporas' in Eastern Europe. But more or less since 1967, anyone who talks about the Khazars as the ancestors of the Jews of Eastern Europe is considered naive and moonstruck." Why do you think the idea of the Khazar origins is so threatening? "It is clear that the fear is of an undermining of the historic right to the land. The revelation that the Jews are not from Judea would ostensibly knock the legitimacy for our being here out from under us. Since the beginning of the period of decolonization, settlers have no longer been able to say simply: 'We came, we won and now we are here' the way the Americans, the whites in South Africa and the Australians said. There is a very deep fear that doubt will be cast on our right to exist." Is there no justification for this fear? "No. I don't think that the historical myth of the exile and the wanderings is the source of the legitimization for me being here, and therefore I don't mind believing that I am Khazar in my origins. I am not afraid of the undermining of our existence, because I think that the character of the State of Israel undermines it in a much more serious way. What would constitute the basis for our existence here is not mythological historical right, but rather would be for us to start to establish an open society here of all Israeli citizens." In effect you are saying that there is no such thing as a Jewish people. "I don't recognize an international people. I recognize 'the Yiddish people' that existed in Eastern Europe, which though it is not a nation can be seen as a Yiddishist civilization with a modern popular culture. I think that Jewish nationalism grew up in the context of this 'Yiddish people.' I also recognize the existence of an Israeli people, and do not deny its right to sovereignty. But Zionism and also Arab nationalism over the years are not prepared to recognize it. "From the perspective of Zionism, this country does not belong to its citizens, but rather to the Jewish people. I recognize one definition of a nation: a group of people that wants to live in sovereignty over itself. But most of the Jews in the world have no desire to live in the State of Israel, even though nothing is preventing them from doing so. Therefore, they cannot be seen as a nation." What is so dangerous about Jews imagining that they belong to one people? Why is this bad? "In the Israeli discourse about roots there is a degree of perversion. This is an ethnocentric, biological, genetic discourse. But Israel has no existence as a Jewish state: If Israel does not develop and become an open, multicultural society we will have a Kosovo in the Galilee. The consciousness concerning the right to this place must be more flexible and varied, and if I have contributed with my book to the likelihood that I and my children will be able to live with the others here in this country in a more egalitarian situation - I will have done my bit. "We must begin to work hard to transform our place into an Israeli republic where ethnic origin, as well as faith, will not be relevant in the eyes of the law. Anyone who is acquainted with the young elites of the Israeli Arab community can see that they will not agree to live in a country that declares it is not theirs. If I were a Palestinian I would rebel against a state like that, but even as an Israeli I am rebelling against it." The question is whether for those conclusions you had to go as far as the Kingdom of the Khazars. "I am not hiding the fact that it is very distressing for me to live in a society in which the nationalist principles that guide it are dangerous, and that this distress has served as a motive in my work. I am a citizen of this country, but I am also a historian and as a historian it is my duty to write history and examine texts. This is what I have done." If the myth of Zionism is one of the Jewish people that returned to its land from exile, what will be the myth of the country you envision? "To my mind, a myth about the future is better than introverted mythologies of the past. For the Americans, and today for the Europeans as well, what justifies the existence of the nation is a future promise of an open, progressive and prosperous society. The Israeli materials do exist, but it is necessary to add, for example, pan-Israeli holidays. To decrease the number of memorial days a bit and to add days that are dedicated to the future. But also, for example, to add an hour in memory of the Nakba [literally, the "catastrophe" - the Palestinian term for what happened when Israel was established], between Memorial Day and Independence Day."

USS Liberty Gets Its Own Radio Program

For more than 40 years, the brave survivors of the USS Liberty have tried telling the world what happened to them on June 8, 1967, when Israel sneak attacked the nearly defenseless ship for over an hour with as many as 1,000 rockets, tens of thousands of armor-piercing rounds and five torpedoes. For the most part, the American media has yawned and decided to cover the latest Hollywood scandal or some other nonsense. Now survivors of the Liberty will not be forced to beg a criminally incompetent media to tell the truth about what they have endured. The USS Liberty survivors have their own live radio program, appearing on the Republic Broadcasting Network at www.republicbroadcasting.org. The live, two-hour call-in program airs every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon CST and is hosted by Phil Tourney (survivor of the Liberty and three-time president of the Liberty Veterans Association) and Mark Glenn, a contributing editor for American Free Press. The weekly program will also have in-depth analyses of current political events that have as their origin the fact that a U.S. ship was attacked in an act of premeditated, undeclared war and was not rectified. Appearances by many of the other survivors of the Liberty will be a regular theme, talking about what they went through that day and what has happened to them since that time. Prominent patriots will also appear on the show. Persons wishing to listen to the program live can do so by going to www.republicbroadcasting.org and clicking on the “Listen Live” option. For those unable to listen the program in real-time, it will be archived for later listening.

News Back To Top Mar 26th, 2008 - Va. Domestic Intelligence Center Sued for Info A D.C. privacy group that is curious about the activities of a Virginia domestic intelligence center filed a government sunshine lawsuit Friday, after Virigina's so-called fusion center rebuffed its requests for documents about what the center was doing. The Electronic Privacy Information Center's complaint (.pdf) asks a Virginia judge to force state police to cough up records about meetings with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, especially in regards to discussions about how the center would or would not comply with state open government laws. Virginia state police denied the request, saying the documents were "criminal intelligence data." Fusion centers are relatively new creatures on the homeland security scene and are intended to allow local and state police to combine their criminal and intelligence information with information shared by government agencies.

The complaint challenges the City’s violation of the Coalition’s rights to free speech and due process of law, in connection with the Coalition’s plans to demonstrate at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul on September 1, 2008. The complaint seeks to require the City of St. Paul to grant the Coalition’s request for a demonstration permit in sufficient detail, and to require the City to amend its permit procedure to provide basic due process to permit applicants.

With the White House race again consumed by bitterness, the New York Senator said she would have left the church had her pastor come out with remarks like those of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The Obama campaign accused her of trying to deflect from her own embarrassment, after she admitted that her claims that she dodged sniper fire during the Bosnia trip as first lady were untrue.

The upgraded system, part of the U.S. government's Homeland Security program and its war on terror, increases the chances of catching illegal or potentially dangerous entrants into the country, officials said at a media briefing at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday. The system expands the digital fingerprinting of international visitors to ten fingers from two.

Profits will continue to wane, other analysts said. ``There is light at the end of the tunnel, but it is still rather dim,'' Goldman analysts including New York-based Andrew Tilton said in a note to investors today. They estimated that residential mortgage losses will account for half the total, and commercial mortgages as much as 20 percent. Earnings and share prices at U.S. financial institutions tumbled in the past year as fallout from the mortgage crisis spread to other markets. Demand for mortgage-backed securities evaporated, leading to the collapse of Bear Stearns Cos., once that market's largest underwriter, and a Federal Reserve-led bailout by JPMorgan Chase & Co. earlier this month.

This time, as in many other instances nationwide, the offender is the N-word. Darryl and Alytrice Brown, who are black, want Mildred Taylor's novel, "The Land," and Vicki Grove's novel, "The Starplace," removed from the accelerated-reading list at Turner Elementary School in Tampa, Fla. Their daughter, 11-year-old Ashyaa, who is in the gifted program, complained that both books contain the N-word. In their misguided effort to protect their daughter from a word, these parents would deprive every child at Turner Elementary, now and in the future, of the opportunity to read these two excellent novels. I read both three years ago when I wrote about an attempt in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to remove the novel "Summer of My German Soldier" from a 10th-grade-reading list.

The four soldiers died when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb while on patrol late Sunday in southern Baghdad, bringing the overall toll to 4,000, according to an AFP tally based on independent website. Another soldier was wounded in the attack, a military statement said. The chaotic and brutal conflict which is now in its sixth year has also wounded more than 29,000 American soldiers, according to icasualties.org.

The latter statement may seem contradictory, but given the manner in which it studies ‘terror’ and then applies those findings and definitions only to some ‘other’ group, it ignores the reality of terror at home and the reality of terror perpetrated by the ‘homeland’. Not ‘home grown terror’ such as the Timothy McVeighs of the world, nor the terror inflicted on the people by the very infrequent acts of foreigners acting on the homeland, but the terror of the country itself, the acts of the people in government, in the military, in politics, in religion, who either spread terror themselves or spread the fear of terror in order to control not only the domestic audience but foreign audiences as well.

US Government Subsidies to Chains Small retailers the nation over are being pushed out of business by government subsidies to chain competitors such as Wal-Mart and Target through a variety of “corporate socialism” schemes, taxation authority David Cay Johnston says. Municipalities are permitting “tax increment financing” that allow the big chains “to keep the sales taxes that you are forced to pay at the tax register,” Johnston said on the television interview program “Books of Our Time,” sponsored by the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover and broadcast by Comcast. “Instead of that money going to the schools and the fire department and the police department and the library, it is funneled through a mechanism of local government, usually a special authority, to finance the purchase of municipal bonds so that means that the wealthy underwriters and the lawyers and auditors all get a piece of this money to buy the land and build the store,” Johnson told TV host Lawrence Velvel, dean of the law school.

In fact, he's a Palestinian refugee, distinguished professor and scholar, community leader and civil activist. Nonetheless, the FBI harassed him for 11 years, arrested him on February 20, 2003, and falsely accused him of backing organizations fronting for Palestinian Islamic Jihad - a 1997 State Department-designated "Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO)."

But it's not going to be the kind of war many have been expecting. No, there was no dramatic televised announcement by President George W. Bush from the White House oval office. In fact on this day, reports the Washington Post, Bush spent some time communicating directly with Iranians, telling them via Radio Farda (the US-financed broadcaster that transmits to Iran in Farsi, Iran's native language) that their government has "declared they want to have a nuclear weapon to destroy people." But not to worry, he told his listeners in Farsi-translated Bushspeak: Tehran would not get the bomb because the US would be "firm."

How many riots must we endure? How many prisons must we build? How many of our rights must we lose? How many of our young people must be sent away to fight in foreign wars before we decide that enough is enough?" Robert de Fremery - (1916 – 2000) One of the most remarkable admissions by a banker concerning the mysteries of his profession was made by Sir Josiah Stamp, president of the Bank of England and the second richest man in Britain in the 1920’s. Speaking at the University of Texas in 1927, he revealed: "The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was every invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin …. Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again …. Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in …. But if you want to continue to be the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit."

Over recent days, for the first time in months, she has moved significantly ahead of Barack Obama in Gallup's national polling. And, defying Milton Friedman's famous dictum that there is no such thing as a free lunch, she's made these gains at no cost. Clinton has remained quietly on the sidelines, smirking like a Cheshire cat, as Republican commentators have done all her work for her. They've dragged out the tapes of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and have helped sully what everyone thought was Obama's picture-perfect and Teflon-coated image. Why, after all, should the New York senator bear the costs of attacking Obama and his controversial pastor, further alienating black voters she so desperately wants back, when Republicans have been more than happy to do this work for her?

That milestone was reached when four U.S. soldiers died in a bomb blast in southern Baghdad, less than a week after the invasion reached its fifth anniversary and President George W. Bush called the war "one of the greatest military exercises in the world's history." Although Bush contends the American war effort has brought "peace and stability" to Iraq, more than 50 Iraqis also died in weekend bomb blasts and the death toll continues to mount.

Clothes, souvenirs and other tourist trinkets were dumped outside and set afire as thick gray smoke darkened the midday sky. Tibetan fury, uncorked, boiled over. Foreigners and Lhasa residents who witnessed the violence were stunned by what they saw, and by what they did not see: the police. Riot police officers fled after an initial skirmish and then were often nowhere to be found. Some Chinese shopkeepers begged for protection.

The regulatory shortcomings on display in 1937, when ethylene glycol killed 105 antibiotic consumers, were still glaring six decades later, when Vioxx users started having heart attacks. But throughout the history of the Food and Drug Administration, and its precursor agencies, U.S. consumers could always bring the manufacturer of a faulty product to court. Now, with the FDA woefully underfunded in its key role of assuring the safety and effectiveness of foods and drugs, and with political ideologues in the agency pushing industry prerogatives, the White House and the courts may be on the verge of stripping Americans of the right to sue. This would take away the last option for those seeking protection from --or recourse for -- faulty products.

We’ve already heard from one of the top international experts on DU. Now, let’s take a look at the other side of the DU issue. We’ll examine the military’s official words on the subject. Here’s an important point to ponder: No matter what you think about the possible health risks of depleted uranium munitions, the government has plans to keep using DU weapons. On the military’s “DU Library” web site 1 they state, “The use of DU has saved the lives of many Service members in combat.” However, the writers do not offer any evidence to support that particular claim.
