article. acked by pain, the 93-year-old rabbi walked shakily to the lectern to give his sermon on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year. Then his spine straightened. His gaze grew firm. "Another Yom Kippur," he said. "Another 500 children of Gaza killed by the Israel Defense Forces, with callous disregard for their lives." Tension rippled through the Jewish congregants seated hip to hip inside one of Los Angeles' most prominent synagogues. Rabbi Leonard Beerman....

nd. What the Bill O'Reilly's of the world, and their mindless minions, know, is that those who pay the price to use their brains and know something of the Truth practically never use their Hearts enough to stand up to the bruit force of Bill and his hoards. Hence, their utter contempt for Truth.

nd. Not sure if my wish will come true of doing the vigil at the White House tomorrow to free Palestine. My body required a 16 hours of sleep today and I seem to have a mild stomach virus. We will see.

Nyt. There is a still-powerful political faction in America committed to the view that conquest pays, and that in general the way to be strong is to act tough and make other people afraid. One suspects, by the way, that this false notion of power was why the architects of war made torture routine — it wasn’t so much about results as about demonstrating a willingness to do whatever it takes.

***** pic. Ignorance of Ebola is not a ‘defense.’ Ignorance of the Creator’s Law, the Law of Unceasing Loving... is not a ‘defense.’ This has never been about the Creator punishing you. It has always and only been about keeping you from punishing yourself, and, yourselves. ‘I didn’t know she was being abused,’ ‘I didn’t know the homeless were being criminalized,’ ‘I didn’t know how to make it stop,’ ‘I didn’t know the Truth about Israel,’ ‘I didn’t know ... ‘ ’I didn’t know...’ IS your SELF INFLICTED KILLER. “You didn’t know...” is your moment by moment choice. You think it protects your selfishness. What it actually does is destroy your Heart, your Soul, Your True Joy and Happiness, and those of your dearest ones as you lead them to the same pit of emptiness, meaninglessness, depression, individual and collective self-destruction. You can’t go back, but you can repent, and move Forward, and maybe others....
article. Israel has long suffered in public opinion across Europe, where it has struggled to stave off mounting calls for divestment and the labeling of goods produced in its settlements. But since October, there have been signs that governments are beginning to embody those sentiments in legislation. The French vote follows similar measures undertaken by the parliaments of Britain, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Sweden, and comparable steps are pending in Denmark and Slovenia. Last week, the European Parliament voted to recognize Palestinian statehood “in principle” and called for the advancement of peace talks. Hours later, 126 countries meeting in Geneva at a summit organized by the Swiss government condemned the occupation of Palestinian lands. The same day, a European Union court removed Hamas from the EU list of terrorist organizations, citing a legal technicality.

article. detail. Israeli Defilement Forces (IDF) on Tuesday suppressed a peaceful march calling for "Christmas without occupation" in Bethlehem. Demonstrators marched to the Israeli military checkpoint in northern Bethlehem to celebrate Christmas and hand out gifts to children in the area. Marchers held up signs reading: "Jesus came with a message of: Peace, Freedom and Justice" and "We want Christmas without occupation." Israeli forces prevented demonstrators, some of whom were dressed as Father Christmas, from reaching the checkpoint and fired tear gas at the crowd.

article. "I won't move until I say goodbye to my mother." For speaking these words, Diyaa was knocked to the floor of his family home, kicked, and beaten by Israeli soldiers who, two weeks earlier, had done the same to his two friends. It was 3 am, and Diyaa's parents could only watch as their 16-year-old son was dragged to an army jeep, blindfolded, and—like thousands of Palestinian children before him—forced into a military detention center in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. What happened next, according to affidavits given by Diyaa and his friends, fits a pattern of Israeli abuse designed to coerce confessions from Palestinian children. Among the most troubling of their experiences were prolonged periods of solitary confinement, a correctional tactic usually reserved for adult prisoners—and, even then, only after they are convicted.
***** I don't know to what degree I support the demonstrations as they are being done... the one's I've seen personally have been nothing but bigotry and hate. But regardless, there is a big, central problem - Is Amerika of by and for the citizens, or the owners and their police? Even 'politically correct' calls like the NY Mayor's to delay protests till after the funerals... HAS IT REVERSED - ON PURPOSE. If police don't honor the constitution and citizen rights BEFORE THEMSELVES... they should take off, or never put on the uniform.
