The Zionist Lobby and American Foreign Policy
...it is hardly surprising to discover that the Jewish state and Zionists lobbies are fairly active behind the scenes. It all makes far more sense when you find out that America's current divorce from humanism is closely associated with Israeli interests. A brief study of the history of Israel will reveal that from its very early days Zionism specialised in tracing dark political motivations and interests in order to abuse them to the very limit. Zionism is a very singular political method ai...

Since I am not Jewish or Muslim, people are often surprised at how passionate I am about the injustices that the Palestinians are suffering at the hands of the Israeli government, which is propped up with our US tax dollars. The following explains why I am a pro-Palestinian activist....

Labor Strikes in Israel
The Israel garbage is soon gone from the stage of history, thanks to the actions of the workingclass. There are now general strikes in Israel as the Israeli economy sinks to the bottom of the sea, and the sooner it sinks, the better not only for the US taxpayer who pays for it all, but for all humanity....

Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel
In recent years there has been a dramatic growth of Jewish fundamentalism in Israel which has manifested itself in vigorous opposition to the peace process and has played a key role, as well, in the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the murder of 29 Muslims at prayer by the American-born fundamentalist, Baruch Goldstein....

Hatred of Arabs Is So Commonplace, It Usually Goes Unnoticed
Yet the extremism about which I speak isn't actually extreme, at least not in the
customary definition of the word. The man who wishes all Palestinians would die is
better embraced by American analysts than those who argue in favor of
international law (i.e., against Israel's occupation and in support of the right to
return). With minor variations, decorated commentators George Will, Charles
Krauthammer, William Safire, and scores of others say the same thing. They are, in
short, odious...

Israeli Violence: Horrific Smoke Screen for a Political Agenda
While we watch pictures of carnage with disgust, and hear the voices in our
minds and hearts calling for an end to the violence, Sharon can only be smiling in
satisfaction. There could be no better smoke-screen for his real political agenda,
namely the annexation of as much Palestinian land as he can take hold of, and
he will continue to rake up the violence until the Israeli colonization program has
been fully completed to the liking of his cabinet of warmongers....
