God has now revealed Texas to be the promised land of Zion

michael hureaux perez has a two-state solution to seriously consider. Israel in its present configuration and location, he says, “is just not working out.” Its behavior isn’t suited to Palestine – a bad choice, in hindsight, for a Jewish homeland.

Another great piece by Bob Simon on 60 Minutes

While the whole world was preoccupied with Gaza…

Just like it used Election Day in the U.S. as a chance to break the ceasefire, Israel used the Gaza invasion as a chance to confiscate even more West Bank land. Land confiscations in the West Bank are continuing, said Minister of Waqf and Religious Affairs Jamal Bawatneh, and soon “there will be no land [...]

Robert Fisk: So far, Obama’s missed the point on Gaza…

Reposted from the Independent Thursday Jan 22nd, 2009 It would have helped if Obama had the courage to talk about what everyone in the Middle East was talking about.

Qassams from Quebec

Abou Mack has already said it. Here’s another great one, from one of my favorite blogs: “The stupidest defense of what Israel is doing to Gaza has to be, “But what would Americans do if Canadians were firing Qassams from Quebec over the border into the U.S.?”. Well, I dunno. Flesh out your scenario for [...]

US journalists correctly call Tzipi Livni a ‘terrorist’, ‘murderer of Civilians’

Journalists pounced on the terrorist-daughter-of-a-terrorist Tzipi Livni at a joint press conference with Condoleezza Rice in Washington on Friday (16 Jan). “One of the journalists called Livni a ‘terrorist’ and complained that Israel was preventing reporters from covering the war in Gaza.
