POPSJews against Zionism I have clipped this not to promote a point of view but to offer those who care to know the many strands of perspectives on Israel an opportunity to go and look at some sites that explain that by no means all Jews support the state of Israel or its Zionist ideology.

POPS"Shahida – Brides of Allah". An Israeli View of Female Palestinian Terrorists
Die israelische Regisseurin Natalie Assouline hat über zwei Jahre Palästinenserinnen begleitet, die nach gescheiterten Selbstmordanschlägen in Israel inhaftiert wurden. Entstanden ist ein aufwühlender Film voller Widersprüche. Als sie mit Sehnsucht über ihre Kinder sprechen, die sie nur durch die Gitter sehen können, empfindet man Mitleid mit ihnen. Als in einer Szene die 30-jährige Kahira endlich ihre vier Kinder umarmen darf, kommen dem Zuschauer Tränen in die Augen. Und das, obwohl er weiß, dass diese Mutter eine Mörderin ist. Die israelische Regisseurin Natalie Assouline porträtiert in ihrem Debütfilm palästinensische Terroristinnen. Dabei lässt sie die Zuschauer immer wieder in der Spannung zwischen Mitgefühl und Verurteilung. Der bedrückende Dokumentarfilm heißt "Shahida", auf Arabisch "die Heilige", und als Heilige sehen sich diese Gefangenen. Das ist Teil ihrer Selbsttäuschung. ( Deutscher Originalartikel )

POPSPalestine: how a battle for land became religious Article is brief and needs reading in its entirety to consider its overview of how a minority of religionists have turned a secular struggle into a religious one, a trend which is not completed but, the author feels, becoming increasingly dangerous.

POPSIsrael-Palestine Peace & the language of violence While the majority of Israelis and Palestinians, and most of the people of the earth want peace in the region, this wish is counter to the actions of specific sectors, and the polarised language of violence and hatred is the voice that is the loudest.

POPSPalestine, Israel: Core Issues The coming Annapolis Conference does not make for exciting news at breakfast. However, the beginnings of agreeing a realistic agenda of the core issues is historically significant. Although there are few grounds for optimism that Annapolis will result in immediate progress, at least it is a first step, one marked by the Israeli desire to see the involvement of neighbouring states. Who knows? One day we may yet see a rising consensus towards a one-state solution, a joint Israel-Palestine nation. Maybe.

POPSPalestinian 'Anti-semitism" An intelligent, thorough article. Cuts through simplistic rhetorical claims by extremists, suggests how what modern antisemitism there is among Palestinians is a European import, and reminds us of the shocking history of European antisemitism over a millennium,
