Palestinian Statehood: A First Step Toward Sovereignty?

“...we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the United Nations – an independent, sovereign state of Palestine, living in peace with Israel” - Barack Obama's forgotten words

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - With little fanfare and understated ease, the Ambassador of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to the United States spoke in Washington, DC on Tuesday.

The event, entitled “Sovereignty and a New Reality: Palestinian Statehood at the United Nations”, took place at the Palestine Center, a part of the Jerusalem Fund.

Congress Blesses Israel`s Matrix of Control

Both U.S. parties are still trapped in an early mindset which believes that colonized people should only be allowed independence under the terms and conditions granted them by their occupiers.

(CHICAGO) - The US Congress announced through two July votes that since the US and Israel are obviously the colonial bosses of the Middle East, the future of the Palestinian people must be determined through “negotiations” between unequal partners, an occupying military power and the captive population it occupies.

OK, so the resolution did not actually say that part about colonialism. But ponder for a moment what really happened in our national legislative halls this month.

Islam and Knowledge vs. Socialization

The very foundation of hegemony and empire lie in the public holding largely facile views of truths essential to the rulers.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - 'On occasions, I feel Muslims ‘lose’ something when it comes to religion. I am speaking about the second last prophet Jesus or Isa (E-sa) peace be upon him... My general opinion of Muslims is that they tend to take on a facile view of Christianity ... I get the feeling that this may be because: If an increase in discussions by Muslims of Jesus (pbuh) were to take place, it would be percieved as “being Christian”.'

Interesting perspective, and along the lines which reduce to the following empiricism: Human beings in general don't tend to appreciate what is not part of one's own socialization.

Israeli leaders understand the futility of military adventure against Iran: Interview with Abolghasem Bayyenat

In-depth interview includes discussion of the standoff over Iran's nuclear program, the prospect of Iran-West relations and the politics of Israel's nuclear activities.

(TEHRAN) - Abolghasem Bayyenat is an independent political analyst writing mainly on Iran’s foreign policy developments.

Over the past decade, his political commentaries and articles have appeared in numerous popular media and online journals.

Israeli thugs - organized criminals

Despite what Israel's diplomats know, they remain silent. After all the leading thugs and robbers are their bosses.

(BAHRAIN) - A thug enters your home, decides to stay, makes you his servants, and locks you up in the worst conditions.

When the neighbours complain about what's going on in your home, the thug tells everyone that you are terrorists who want to destroy him and his family.

Israel`s `KKK`nesset` gets new Anti-Boycott Law - Will they Lynch the West Bank?

“…any settler who feels that he has been harmed by the boycott can demand unlimited compensation from any person or organization calling for the boycott – without having to prove any actual damage.”

(ATLANTA, Ga.) - The Radical Zionists have really outdone themselves this time. Just when you wonder what else they can do to bring disgrace upon themselves and their blind Diaspora followers they dig down deep and show they have more contempt for us than we realized.

Now they have voted a crime against humanity…into law. That’s chutzpah!!

U.S. Swipes Money from Libyan Accounts to Fund Pro-American Oil Rebels

Nothing like throwing gasoline on a burning fire.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Many have already heard that the United States' latest effort to kill and maim people in far off lands will take place in Libya to the tune of $30 billion in seized assets.

The move fits the criteria of habitual American behavior; the U.S. only goes after former friends like Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden. Even Ho Chi Minh aided the United States during WWII in its fight with Japanese forces occupying Vietnam.

US Congress loves being lied to about the Israel-Palestine conflict

Why are US lawmakers now trying to thwart the Palestinians’ dream of their own independent state?

(LONDON) - Here in the UK we have so many craven politicians paying homage to the likes of Murdoch and playing stooge to the pro-Israel lobby that there’s little time to take much interest in US politics.

So I apologise to American friends for briefly intruding on their grief; but somebody has sent me a copy of a letter from a US Congresswoman to one of her constituents.
