The Struggle for Humanity

Are you sane enough to consider the evidence and to join (or recommit yourself to) the fight for human survival?

(TASMANIA) - Sociologists, political scientists, activists of various persuasions and many others often describe social stratification in terms of such measures as class, race and gender.

There is much talk in the academic and other literature about the working class, the middle class and the ruling class, for example. And about relationships defined by such factors as race, gender, religion, employment, income and other measures.

Successful Resolution and Sabotage by Tamil Stooges!

Has the USA now proved that they can manage anything and everything in that region without the help of India, Pakistan and China?

(PARIS) - With so many discussions, obstacles, sabotages and hidden agendas, the resolution on Sri Lanka in the 25th session of the Human Rights Council – HRC has finally gone though.

Two days before the vote, as I predicted in an interview to one of the media, the final result was for the resolution ‘Yes’ 23; against the resolution ‘No’ 12; neither ‘yes nor no’, abstentions - 12.

The Goal of the BDS Movement Is Justice: Israel Denies Justice and therefore does not Exist as a Legitimate State

The BDS Movement does not have to dismantle the state of Israel, the state of Israel is not only dissembling its inherent Judaic roots of compassion and equity for all humans but delegitimizing the state itself...

(LAVERNE, Ca.) - Justice and legitimacy are one and inexorably linked to the Charters and Declarations of the United Nations.

This is a truth that Michael J. Rosenberg does not address as he castigates the supporters of the BDS movement in his recent article: “The Goal of the BDS Movement is the Dismantling of Israel.”

You Couldn`t Make it Up! £50 for an Audience With Israeli `Justice` Minister on War Crimes Wanted List

...and basking under the special protection of Her Majesty's Government.

(LONDON) - The 2014 Annual Congress of the University and College Union Scotland (UCU Scotland) has voted unanimously to condemn the planned visit by Israel's Tzipi Livni, wanted for war crimes, says StopTheJNF.

Nazi/Labor Zionism Collaboration

"Perhaps only 2 million Jews will survive the upcoming Holocaust, (yes, he used that word) but they will be strong and good for the Land of Israel. The rest will be blown into the dustpile of history." - Chaim Weizmann, leader of Labor Zionism, 1936

(ST. AUGUSTINE) - Circulating throughout the internet is a photo of a used Boeing 777 parked in Israel, and with it the conclusion that this is proof that the still-to-be explained disappearance of the Malaysian passenger jet was an Israeli operation.

I was recently sent the text of Lenni Brenner's study of the Transfer Agreement, a horrid pact signed in 1933 between the Labor Zionists and the Nazis, by a very pro-Israel writer.

Human Rights in USA, Canada and More...

The Israeli Knesset passed more laws to discriminate and intensified its repression and denial of rights while the Arab governments exchanged more flowery language about supporting Palestine in their "summit".

(BETHLEHEM) - I leave Palestine to the USA and Canada (West Coasts) Saturday. I will be speaking at a few venues about human rights and why I am (still) optimistic about our common humanity.

I feel guilty to leave for I am always glad to be in Palestine despite the difficulties. Sharing in sad events and in good events both help me stay sane. Just today (Wednesday), we buried my uncle Fawzi (the last of six brothers on my father's side).
