  • They were sailing for us
    • James November 4, 2011 at 1:41 pm

      they were sailing to raise awareness of the injustice being done and to make changes to address the injustice.. for the world to be reminded of this is ultimately a good thing...

      might doesn't make right, and it looks really ugly here too... people can make laws, but it doesn't mean the laws are just.... sometimes they are just a form of maintaining a corrupt power.. this is something we are witnessing more regularly - powerful and narrow interests turning something into a law whereby it is illegal to do something that is ethical.....

      kudos for those who continue to try to break this unjust form of power that israel maintains and the usa and some others condone... corruption has a way of rotting things from the inside and that is what we are seeing firsthand... it is unsustainable...

      taxi,
      a surprise moment of honesty would be refreshing whatever way it came!

    • James November 3, 2011 at 9:57 pm

      american - that is a pretty fascinating read that shows just how much the usa is interested in the peace process! it is all so very one sided in nature and catches what the usa congress is really all about...

    • James November 3, 2011 at 1:30 pm

      more hypocrisy stamped ""made in the usa""...

    • James November 3, 2011 at 12:58 pm

      congress is israel controlled... stupid laws only look stupid if you forget this basic fact...

      hey, lets introduce some bill that says palestine can never exist.. if someone tries to say otherwise, we will charge them with a crime...

      that is what the usa has come down to... god help us these freaks up here in canada don't do something as stupid.. i am sure they are working on it as we speak...

    • James November 3, 2011 at 12:56 pm

      funny how they can't figure out a way to cut off funding for israel isn't it?? the usa is full of shite...............

    • James November 3, 2011 at 12:55 pm

      i don't think so seafoid, but it would be good if it happened anyway..

      there are only costs when palestine tries to break the logjam.. read the quote below.. if israel expands settlements, continues to be given 3 bil a year, wants a war with iran and etc. etc., there are never any consequences of it's ignoring anything the usa thinks about it!!! the state dept are a group of liars not able to piece together what there actions are saying to the world...

      "Look, with regard to UNESCO, we were absolutely clear, not only with the Palestinians but with the international community before this happened, that if this went forward, there would be a cost."

      i guess white phosphorous doesn't count then?

      no one is free to cast stones here... if israel was concerned with children they wouldn't be putting so many in prison, but alas the world has to know of the suffering of gilad, but is well trained to ignore the suffering of palestinians.. you don't help change any of this either am_american..

  • UNESCO vote shows the US and Israel represent the 1% against the 99% of world opinion
    • James November 2, 2011 at 10:45 pm

      seafoid, what is sad for me is to see a right wing conservative gov't here in canada trying to outdo the usa in the zionist dept... this has never really happened here in canada before, but we now have harper to thank for the love of all things zionist given his christian fundamental viewpoints....

      annie - not to be a downer, but i wonder what it will be this time... there is no way israel is going to let this get very far, but if they can turn it into some publicity stint to express something they think furthers there end, no doubt they will...

      kathleen, i agree with your comment "Israel seems to be on a suicide mission and clearly willing to take the US with it."

      regarding hilarys comment in the usa propaganda rag (voa) - i would like to counter ' we're not quite sure who makes decision anymore inside of the usa' given the usa's vote at unesco.. (although we're quite sure the usa no longer master of its own direction )..

      us canucks living under the fuhrer harper are in a bad way.. it is pathetic how the conservatives have replicated all the core right wing values of the usa and managed to get back in power after having been decimated when mulroney was head of the same friggin party... read this article from yesterday to see the disturbing trend going on here in canada.. it is an eye opener for any canucks on this board or americans for that matter...

      hi mrw - i left a link on the other post about the ugly reality of the tar sands project... i am not taking up his argument, or only in so far as i am saying their is nothing ethical about the tar sands project.. i think associating ethics with taking oil out of northern alberta and etc. is just a propaganda tool to try to sell it on more people.. i would prefer not to discuss ethics as i don't think it has anything to do with this. discussing the reality on the ground and what the tar sands project is actually doing seems more relevant..

    • James November 2, 2011 at 2:48 pm with 2 replies

      here is a great article posted at mondoweiss a few days ago that covers some fine points extremely well..

      thanks avi.. i appreciate your response here... in the end it doesn't matter as people have to get along.. i agree with jello's comments that ending poverty would go a long way to getting rid of the many problems that we face on the planet and more generally with regard to the i/p issue.. does it matter if a small percent control such a large percent? i think it does, but i don't have the answer as to how to resolve it..

      the article that biafra wrote mentioned how sheldon adelson contributes a lot of money to the building of these settlements which are so contentious... it is interesting how on the one hand money seems to be a tool that one can exercise power with, but on the other how it ends up bringing about something for all the wrong reasons to the point i wonder what good all the money in the world is..

  • Goldstone sugarcoats persecution to try to save Israel
    • James November 1, 2011 at 4:07 pm

      thanks phil and adam.. i wish your article in response would get more coverage then goldstones, but i am afraid it still doesn't work this way yet.. the mainstream media, nyt and wapo two typical examples - get to frame and have the conversation... perhaps you could make this an opinion piece in the nyt in response to goldstones...

      either way, i really like what you have said and am glad you point out how goldstone is so at odds with his previous goldstone report.. i like this quote near the end of your post as i think it hits the nail on the head..

      "Few Palestinians see a happy future for them with a Zionist neighbor, and out of solidarity for their suffering, people around the world have undertaken an honest inventory of Zionism’s actions. Many have come to the conclusion that Israel is de-legitimizing itself."

    • James October 30, 2011 at 9:43 pm

      i don't think the jewish state has anything to do with judiasm... it would be like saying the holy crusade had something to do with christianity.. both religions have not been able to teach those who profess to belong to the religion anything about morals or ethics as witnessed in how they treat those not a part of their special religious nut club...

      war could be considered an act of desperation.. it is interesting which nations opt for this approach so often in the 21st century - israel and the usa in particular.. these 2 seem 'hell bent' on using their military power in a righteous manner, while losing any faith other countries and people round the globe might have held for them..

    • James October 29, 2011 at 8:18 pm

      avi - thanks for clarifying this for us.. people need this kind of education regularly and it is sorely missing in the discourse that is dominated by zionist thinking that is extremely one sided in its agenda, as opposed to being in any way 'informative'..

    • James October 29, 2011 at 12:33 pm

      that has never stopped the usa or israel before... they don't give a rats ass about international law..

    • James October 29, 2011 at 12:31 pm

      very true donald, which makes me think that when folks are so busy telling us who the good and bad guys are, that tells us a lot about who they are... we are told regularly by the mainstream media here in the west how iran is the bad guy.. to me this just points right back to the usa and israel who keep on telling us this...

      some folks don't have that short a memory... we went thru this iraq is the bad guy exercise not too long ago and we see where it went... these f'kers never give up in trying to start a war..

      yes, they do and indeed his words or animosity and hostility towards arabs in general were very easy to read from the get go of his letter...

      one can be jewish and not be a part of the Judaic religion.. here i thought in order to be jewish one had to practice or be in some way associated with judiasm! okay, it is all passed down from the mother and being jewish has nothing to do with religion! this makes more sense actually as i see nothing religious in the actions of israel which is supposed to be both jewish and practicing the religion of judiasm.. i continue to think that zionism is the religion of these fanatics.. how else to explain their self justified hostilities to others not ''''jewish''''?

      there is some material here for someone to have fun with, but for the palestinians it is no laughing matter... they are being abused regularly by those in and around israel who are supposed to be jewish, but may not belong to any religion.. i say this based on their actions...

    • James October 24, 2011 at 9:27 pm

      kalithea quote "Zionism IS the new Judaism."

      powerful concept... i think the folks that believe zionism to be valid viewpoint and necessary, do view zionism in a similar manner to a religion... i think they probably have replaced judiasm with zionism, as i can't believe that judiasm would condone ethnic cleansing or a slow form of ethnic cleansing as in any way religious.... however, zionism seems perfectly alright with this... the other option is that one has to choose between which god they are going to follow - one that represented zionism, or the one that represented judiasm... i don't think one can serve both at the same time..

    • James October 24, 2011 at 9:19 pm with 3 replies

      hi annie - thanks for your response and the other folks response to my query... separating israel from those who are jewish, to those who practice judiasm is an interesting question for me... i agree i am complicating things, but so is modern day israel and many jewish folks with their work at making an association of all of this being one and the same.. they are not the same.. the efforts on the part of israel to suggest it represents the jewish people motivates me to ask the question on what part of the role judiasm plays in this.. the actions going on in israel are very conflicted with any type of religion no matter what religion it professes to be as i see it, but perhaps someone who practices judiasm can explain to me how these actions represent judiasm.. i would say the same thing for the crusades which supposedly represented christianity.. i think of the parallel that you make to colonialism is a good one to make... i'll stop here for now..

      ellen quote "I.e. what other country in the world demands that you have to have debt to get credit?"
      this is the basis of the world banking system as i understand it... once a person is indebted, then they're essentially a slave to this same system...
      as for the comments of yours and kathleens up above, i think the unusually high number of jewish people in the upper echelons of the banking system does matter and reflects the history of banking for the past few hundred years... who gets to the top of this same corrupt system is not based on democracy, but on family connections... the rothchilds started the bank of england and they were responsible for the federal reserve as well...

      for a better understanding of the federal reserve, consider reading 'creature from jekyll island' which gives a much better education on it then i can..

      phil, thanks for the post.. i liked what you had to say.. here are a few lines that stuck out :"I think the Jewish community has to be honest about where our community sits, and then try and define community differently, not ethnocentrically."

      "We're a wounded community. There is a reason that so many of the Jewish progressive calls at the JFREJ page are vague: we all have neocons in our families and we understand them at some level, for we know that they operate out of fear for the Jews in Israel."

      "Jews must find a way to talk about our wealth and privilege. "

      that last one would lead right back to looking at the present day banking system, wouldn't it? kathleens 1050am post highlights the same thing..

      from the national geographic and theworld bank.. it is really what got them going at me in the first place.. i asked them to point to something that said something different.. those links that i asked for feedback on were what they finally volunteered saying all the math was quite correct and blah, blah, blah... the fact is i suppose those people who are so hardened in their position they can't consider anything else are really lost causes.. i wasn't able to provide the link you've offered here in my response, but will consider doing so now that you've shared this.. i know... it is mostly a lost cause trying to get zionists to see the reality on the ground, but i believe getting valid information out in the public arena is necessary and this would include spreading it to those who constantly fly in the face of reality..

      Do the math of it for yourself if your grey cells are up to the task and then come back.

      That water story has been debunked so often and so thoroughly that you thereby prove yourself to be an out of touch alien.

      taxi - i hear what you are saying.. kansas had a song called 'dust in the wind'.. here are the lyrics that seem appropriate here..

      "I close my eyes only for a moment, and the moment's gone
      All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
      Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
      Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
      All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

      Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

      [Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
      It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

      Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
      Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind."

      nothing lasts forever and you are right about the bricks and mortar... people can't make castles of sand based on hostility and hatred towards others....

      whether it is 10 years, 100 years or 1000 years people need to figure out how to live together on the planet and right now it doesn't look like that is happening, does it?

      i think you are wrong on this... might makes right, even if it is wrong... there was never any real desire for peace in the world of zionism - only land grab and ethnic cleansing and that is what we continue to see with the usa's approval...

      adbusters has hit a little too close to home for the zionista crowd... if someone accused mondoweiss of having a history of '''''anti-jewish'''' writing, would anyone be surprised??? the reality is adbusters has played a role similar to mondoweiss is trying to get people to wake up... for all i know adbusters is run by people of jewish decent too...

      you can make crap like this up but someone in the mainstream media will definitely beat you to it..

      lol... witty, think of all the palestinians being kicked out of your faraway zionist homeland when you cry and whine... there's a small chance you'll learn how to empathize... it'll really conflict with your zionist heritage...

      dbg - it is a nice contrast to the regular brainwashing that goes on in much of the western media where those evil muslims or arabs are behind everything and the reason israel and usa are so preoccupied with their freakin security needs....

      pendulum swung the other way friend...

      eee quote :
      "You are really splitting hairs. The government of Egypt by allowing a hostile environment against Jews for decades was de facto practicing a un-official policy of ethnic cleansing."

      tell us, if correct, how it differs from what israel has been doing for the past however many years? don't be selective in your righteousness eee...

      ...."many in the Jewish community view Jewish Voice for Peace, the Oakland-based organization, as fundamentally hostile to Israel."

      do these same folks ever view anything that israel does as hostile to israel's own best long term interests? do they view the rabbi who is still on the list as favourable to israel?

      it seems to me that some of these folks have a very hostile attitude towards peace, especially the rabbi who is still on the list... this really says something about this umbrella organization and anyone who belongs to it...
