POPSPalestine: The State History Forgot Is it a joke of history that before there was the states of Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Syria, etc there was Palestine? Now they all exist and Palestine doesn't yet. You will read that there never was a Palestine from a certain quarter and how can you miss what you never had. How you know they are lying! They'll say that as they are all Arabs that there's enough room for them all. It's like saying that the Scots Welsh and Irish are all Celts and one state would do them all! Yes, there was a time when such thinking was regarded as valid. If we had the Age of Imperialism back then the Brits might validly have a claim on the USA and most of the rest of the world. In the present imperialism, if the existent holder of the gunboat diplomacy role, the USA, decided to sort out Palestine's present difficulties it could in a breath. Hopefully in a more honourable fashion that the last gunboat holder did.

POPSHeroRATS Bericht in deutscher Sprache: Riesenhamsterratte Rosie, Landminensucherin

POPSRiesenhamsterratte Rosie, Landminensucherin Rosie schafft es, in einer halben Stunde hundert Quadratmeter nach Minen abzusuchen. Menschen brauchten dafür mehrere Tage. Die große Frage ist nun: Was passiert, wenn Rosie direkt auf einer Mine sitzt und mit ihren Vorderpfoten herumkratzt? Gar nichts! Riesenhamsterratten sind zwar, wie der Name schon sagt, ziemlich groß. Sie werden 40 Zentimeter lang und wiegen bis zu 1,5 Kilogramm. Aber sie sind zu leicht, um eine Mine auszulösen. See also my clip HeroRATS (in English language).

POPSMozart's Queen of the Night, massacred by Florence Foster Jenkins In dieser Arie verlangt Mozart, dem ich insofern Anflüge sexistischer Gehässigkeit unterstelle, den Sopranistinnen und ihren Zuhörern Unmenschliches ab. Ich mochte diese verkoloraturifizierte Pieps-Arie nie - bis ich Flos kongeniale Interpretation zu Ohren bekam. Die Welt im allgemeinen und mein Verhältnis zu Mozart im besonderen sind seitdem wieder in Ordnung: Dank dieser wunderbaren Frau kann ich wieder lachen, wenn ich an die Königin der Nacht denke.

POPSUri Avnery: Apologizing for past wrongs as a part of modern political culture I BELIEVE that peace between us and the Palestinian people - a real peace, based on real conciliation - starts with an apology. In my mind's eye I see the President of the State or the Prime Minister addressing a special extraordinary session of the Knesset and making a historic speech on the following lines: MADAM SPEAKER, Honorable Knesset, On behalf of the State of Israel and all its citizens, I address today the sons and daughters of the Palestinian people, wherever they are. We recognize the fact that we have committed against you a historic injustice, and we humbly ask your forgiveness. Uri Avnery Deutsch: Frieden in Israel und Palestina - Texte von Uri Avnery

POPS2008-06-12: Senate voting on an 18-month extension of Title V abstinence-only-until-marriage funding In 1996, Congress signed into law the Personal Responsibility & Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act, or "welfare reform." Attached was the provision, later set out in Section 510(b) of Title V of the Social Security Act, appropriating $250 million dollars over five years for state initiatives promoting sexual abstinence outside of marriage as the only acceptable standard of behavior for young people.
