War
on Terror changes its name - Washington has
decided to renovate the name of thedecided to renovate the name of their War on Terror so that it is even more
difficult to comprehend. Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to "The Long War".
US
and EU cut aid to PA - The ISM's Letter
writing campaign (sample letter), the figures of how much aid is being cut and
where it was destined, and Gideon Levy's article explaining that cutting aid is
tantamount to starvation of a people.
Suad
Amiry, "Israelis had in mind PA governing people without territory" -"Taking away
the ground under people's feet with all its resources, but leaving
responsibility for the lives of people, their schooling, health care, security
policing in the hands of a local authority, funded by foreign donors, made the
establishment of such a local authority become the most inexpensive form of
maintaining and deepening the military occupation in
Palestine."
Nurit
Pelad Elhanan, words of a bereaved mother -"Palestinian, Iraqi, Afghan women are my sisters because we are all at the
grip of the same unscrupulous criminals who call themselves leaders of the free
enlightened world and in the name of this freedom and enlightenment rob us of
our children. Furthermore, Israeli, American, Italian and British mothers have
been for the most part violently blinded and brainwashed to such a degree that
they cannot realize their only sisters, their only allies in the world are the
Muslim Palestinian, Iraqi or Afghani mothers, whose children are killed by our
children or who blow themselves to pieces with our sons and daughters. They are
all mind-infected by the same viruses engendered by politicians. And the
viruses, though they may have various illustrious names--such as Democracy,
Patriotism, God, Homeland--are all the same. They are all part of false and fake
ideologies that are meant to enrich the rich and to empower the
powerful."
Some
good advice
A
wise word about the Khazarian theory - "Diego:
As far as I'm concerned,
I don't think it's a matter of ethnic composition, or better, not only it. What
I meant was: let's suppose that Ashkenazi descend from Khazars, ok? So what?
Would they have the right to recover the Caspian area again ? Would they be
entitled to colonization, to do what they did and do with the Palestinians? you
understand me, don't you? Going on clinching that Jews are actually Khazars,
might entail that they wouldn't have any right over Palestine but maybe over the
Caspian area yes....it's not like that!"
Ariella
Atzmon - Homeland as the Gift of Destiny - "The joy of return cannot be accomplished
simply by the arrival on the shores of one’s tribal birth. A genuine homecoming
should be echoed by the immeasurable shifts that the place had experienced. In
his poem “Homecoming / to Kindred Ones” Holderlin reflects upon the
burden of homecoming: “What you seek, it is near, already comes to meet
you” but….one’s returning home has not yet been reached merely by arriving
there. If a place is inhabited by one’s beloved people it is still hard to win….
Things get more complicated when what is “sought does not come to meet”
when the inhabitants are differentiated by their past, present and future
expectations, which do not conform with those of the one that arrives. But the
minute those who arrive proclaim “to redeem” the land, and settle in their
“promised possession” the place is destined to a disastrous, irresolvable,
endless clash."
Ramzy
Baroud - It's the Media, Stupid - "This 'image' problem has indeed
irked Israel since day one and continues to do so; this is why the term 'PR
disaster' has always constituted a nightmarish scenario for Israeli politicians
throughout the years, and subsequently turned Israel into a master in media
spins and crisis management. Israel understood well that in order for its
habitually indefensible policies, so evident in the illegal confiscation of
land, the oppression of people and the defiance to international law, and so on,
to be justified, facts have to be spun, truths have to be hidden and a new
discourse, one that defies reality altogether would has to be woven, as it
has."
Nadia
Hasan - You Can't Go Home Again (they won't let you) - "I checked again in the Jordanian border, I took again my bags and I start
to walk. I felt my bags lighter, not so heavy than before, the tears were still
in my eyes, but my legs were stronger, I am stronger, they make me feel in that
way, they don't understand that every time that they refused a Palestinian at
the border they recognize that the Palestinians are there, they must to use the
guns to keep something that don't belong to them, they are afraid to see us
through our eyes, that we are here, near, and always will be near, they know
that Palestine Exists!"
