(SACRAMENTO) - Today and tomorrow over 20 Hillels will be setting up tents on American campuses to engage students on Israel. Hillel is a national organization that calls itself "the central address on campus" for pro-Israel advocacy. It has a budget of close to $30 million.

`Ibrahim passed away` - 12-Year Old Ibrahim Zaza Dies from Wounds Suffered in Israeli Attack

Numerous witnesses near the scene of the Israeli missile attack in Gaza scoffed at the notion, saying that once again, the people Israel strikes are almost always just simple civilians, with no connection to terror activities of any kind.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Last week we brought you the heartbreaking story about two boys in Gaza, 12 and 14-year old cousins, who were playing in the street in front of their family home when a guided Israeli missile struck, leaving a huge crater in the ground and both boys terribly injured.

A Review of The Wandering Who

“The Wandering Jew, like Cain, is Everyman. We are what we will to be: Cain or Abel, with a soul or without one, sympathetic to our fellows or indifferent, human or non-human.”
- (William A. Cook, “The Eternal Jew Goes on Forever,” 24/08/09).

(LAVERNE, Calif.) - Gilad Atzmon’s insight into the organism created by the Zionist movement in his book, The Wandering Who, is explosive.

It tears the veil off of Israel’s apparent civility, its apparent friendship with the United States, and its expressed solicitude for western powers—Britain, Canada, Australia, France and Germany—exposing behind the veil, the assassin ready to slay any and all that interfere with its tribally focused ends.

Erdogan: `Israel is the West`s Spoiled Child

Members of Obama’s own government have tried to alert the President to the danger of giving in to Israel’s every demand.

(CHICAGO) - On Tuesday, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told an Arab League meeting in Cairo, Egypt, that a vote to accept a Palestinian state in the United Nations “is not a choice but an obligation.”

Later, on a Cairo television program, Erdogan declared: “Israel is the West’s spoiled child. To this day it has never executed a decision by the international community.”

Israeli War Criminals Are Welcome Here

If the West was once associated with Athens, it is clearly fixated by Jerusalem now. This is certainly a tragedy, yet not a Greek one.

(LONDON) - Earlier today Britain amended its universal jurisdiction law to the extent that Israeli war criminals can now enter the Kingdom without risk of arrest.

British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould shamelessly called Israeli war criminal Tzipi Livni, against whom an arrest warrant was issued in 2009, and told her that the Queen has signed the amendment "to ensure that the UK’s justice system can no longer be abused for political reasons."

UPDATE - Israel`s Mayhem Must Grind to a Halt - Attacks on Children Unprecedented

"it's not a matter of distinction" - Lt. Col. Avital Leibowitz IDF (Referring to Israel's targeting of children)

(SALEM, Ore.) - The time has come and gone for any peaceful resolutions to the problems surrounding Israel.

Levels of violence against children are escalating dramatically, and Israel's leaders refuse to vacate the gutter of inhumanity, even refusing to even talk in realistic terms - instead relying on their "everyone in Gaza has a rocket" theory to justify illegal and immoral acts against children.
