***** must read must read must read. When right-wing "pro-Israel" fanatics frequently sent me death threats, physically attacked my house and painted on the gates statements about me being "a Nazi" or "a self-hating Jew," and called in bomb threats to Tikkun, the magazine I edit, there was no attention given to this by the media, no cries of "our civilization depends on freedom of the press" or demands to hunt down those involved (the FBI and police received our complaints, but never reported back to us about what they were doing to protect us or find the assailants). Nor was the mainstream or Jewish media particularly concerned about Western civilization being destroyed or freedom of thought and association undermined when various universities denied tenure to professors who had made statements critical of Israel, or when the Hillel association, which operates a chain of student-oriented "Hillel Houses" on college campuses, decided to ban from their premises any Jews who were part of Jewish Voices for Peace.
******* nd. Netanyahu and his Zionists are behind the attacks in France. There is no question. The only question is: did they explicitly orchestrate these recent attacks, or did they simply incite them by inciting and orchestrating the West's terror war on Muslims and Arabs these last 70 years?

“We do not expect Buddhists to apologize as Buddhist extremists massacre Muslims in Burma or for their human rights abuses in Sri Lanka,” wrote Linda Sarsour, the national advocacy director of the National Network for Arab American Communities, in a recent New York Times Op-Ed. “I also don’t ask Christians to apologize for the genocide that Bosnian Muslims faced less than two decades ago at the hands of Christian Serbs, or for the Lord’s Resistance Army and Christian militias who have killed tens of thousands of civilians and ethnically cleansed Muslims throughout Uganda, the Congo and Central African Republic…All of us instead recognize that religious fanatics perpetuate violent acts for their own deranged reasons.”
As a Palestinian, I am in solidarity with the Jewish victims of the Paris tragedy. Despite what the media tells you, Palestinians love all people. The world must understand that our issue is not with Judaism. It never was. We always lived side by side as Muslims, Christians and Jews on this land. Our problem is with the racist ideology of Zionism.
This is not Nazi, how? The “Red Lines” document was based on research compiled by the security establishment and the Israeli Ministry of Health, and aimed to “identify the point of intervention for prevention of malnutrition in the Gaza Strip.” According to Gisha, the document “includes tables calculating the food consumption needs of people in Gaza according to age and gender.” The documents includes tables detailing Palestinians’ caloric needs according to age and gender. Following these calculations, as well as estimations of how much food is being produced inside of Gaza, the report concludes that Israel should allow 106 trucks a day into Gaza to supply Palestinians with their “daily humanitarian portion” of food, medicine, and other products. Between 2007 and 2010, however, Israel allowed an average of only 67 trucks a day to enter the Gaza Strip–falling far short of the recommended number.
