That just might be a reflection on so many of those who claim to be adherents of the faith ... As Gandhi once opined: One word: blowback ... Those who would pervert the faith do so at its peril ...

Jus' tryin' to keep it real ... ;)

I'm fairly unambiguous about my distaste for blind (so-called) patriotism, mindless militarism and the vast quantities of violence, bloodshed and murder that generally go along with both ... Unlike some, I see no need to candy-coat the reality in order to feel good - or bad - about my own...

I am roughly 120 twenty pages into Max Blumenthal's revealing expose (named in the thread title above) that draws back the curtain on the present nature and current situation of society in the State of Israel. All I can say at this point is I am finding it to be ... profoundly disturbing ...

It's largely irrelevant in terms of a legitimate casus belli for Israel to initiate the hostilities that they did - Israel had a diplomatic and legal option but chose not to exercise it - something not entirely surprising, given their inclination to willfully defy, and operate outside of...

A big brother liberal and a big brother conservative are not quite the same. The thing that they do both share in common however, is that they are both authoritarians ... ;)

I do too ... but only in early grammar school, before we moved to a different school district ... I would much rather that it had been adopted as the national anthem, since it is more an appeal for a blessing ... rather than an ode to war ...

Funny that ... ;) Indeed ... It's exactly why some of the Founding Fathers were so concerned about permanent standing armies ...

One doesn't have to examine the study to locate the vested interest - in fact, doing so may result in ignoring the very thing - the elephant in the room as it were - which provides the evidence of vested interest: the fundamental purpose of the DOD itself. Once upon a time the DOD used to be...

Keep goin' ... 'cause you still ain't there yet ... Individual experiences may vary. IIRC, you were a swabbie, were you not ? That might mean you never really set foot where "shooting someone's mom" would be on the menu ... Of course, I don't think Mr. Vance was referring to explicit...

Seems you are mistaken and don't actually know what you are taking about (wow ... that's a big surprise ... not ...): More evidence that you don't actually know what you are talking about. Hostilities started in earnest in 1947 (not 1948) after a foreign body (the United Nations) proposed a...

Are the Israelis and Bibi a real partner for peace, to the end of allowing the Palestinians their inalienable human right to self-determination and their own sovereign state ? Here's some points from the the Likud Party Charter ... you tell me: Netanyahu’s party platform ‘flatly rejects’...

And in terms of the "peace process", if all the complicated moves and complex gyrations by Bibi have your head spinning just trying to decipher what is actually happening, below is a handy little guide to help you decode the "processing" of "peace" - with Palestinian action on the left and the...

Israeli Ido Naveh hounds cops arresting African refugees who have fled persecution in their native lands with a sign that says: "70 yrs ago in Germany they arrested Jews on the streets"

The citation that the above quote references has already been more or less dealt with as being of questionable value, as it's coming from a known, documented serial plagiarist .... Substantial concessions ? The spin is reaching levels which might be fairly characterized as "complete mental...

Another fairly cowardly policy, resulting in brutal acts - particularly in light of the weather associated with the recent storm in the Middle East, detailed in an article from the Jerusalem Post: NGO accuses Israel of torturing Palestinian children during winter storm | JPost | Israel News

This thread for the discussion of the so-called "price tag" policy attacks - acts of random violence - by those crazed, fanatical Israeli settlers, who usually hail from illegal settlements in the Palestinian Occupied Territories. For those that may not be familiar with the term, the acts, or...
