POPSOne man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter Anytime young people choose to blow themselves up or to blow up others, regardless of where are they from and irrespective of which religion and ethnic group they belong to, it is always because an inhumane treatment taught them that they have no choice but to blow themselves up or to blow up others.

POPSIsraeli History of Abuse of UN Peacekeepers For which "frontier" would the UN then patrol? The UN border of the 1940s, the pre-1967 ceasefire lines – in which a pre-annexed East Jerusalem belonged to the Arabs – or the post-1967 border in which Israel claimed "annexed" Jerusalem, or the massive walled "frontier" which now bites deeply into yet more Palestinian territory – illegally in international law? And would the UN also have to "observe" the equally illegal Jewish settlements built on Arab land within the West Bank? Gaza sounds an easy option. The UN could place some international troops around Gaza. But it would only be a matter of time before they would be required around the West Bank. That would be a Palestinian dream – and, for those Israelis who wish to continue their expansion into Palestinian land – a nightmare. ... R.Fisk .

POPS"When and How the Jewish People Was Invented?"
Like other national movements in Europe, which sought out a splendid Golden Age, through which they invented a heroic past - for example, classical Greece or the Teutonic tribes - to prove they have existed since the beginnings of history, "so, too, the first buds of Jewish nationalism blossomed in the direction of the strong light that has its source in the mythical Kingdom of David." So when was the Jewish people invented, in Sand's view? At a certain stage in the 19th century, intellectuals of Jewish origin in Germany, influenced by the folk character of German nationalism, took upon themselves the task of inventing a people "retrospectively," out of a thirst to create a modern Jewish people. From historian Heinrich Graetz on, Jewish historians began to draw the history of Judaism as the history of a nation that had been a kingdom, became a wandering people and ultimately turned around and went back to its birthplace. Actually, most of your book does not deal with th

POPSViews of Arab-Israeli citizens of their undemocratic state In Jaffa, several local Arab activists were arrested on trumped-up charges and held in jail, purportedly to prevent them carrying out future acts of sedition. Their detention served to scare off not only them from attending subsequent demonstrations, but also their friends, families and the rest of the Jaffa community, leading to the sharp drop in attendees at last night's protest.

POPSCauses and consequences Hamas' existence determined the war against Hamas. The war against Hamas determined the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. The humanitarian crisis in Palestine determined the death of many civilians. Why does everybody blame Israeli for that??? (going back to the beginning of the chain: what determined the existence of Hamas? boredom? yes, too easy a life can play these tricks, one doesn't know what to do with his spare time and so decides to suicide himself in a crowdy square, just for fun... ) ok... sorry for my sarcasm, I could't avoid it...

POPSFisk:"It is the job of journalists to be impartial on the side of those who suffer most" The contrast between UK and US coverage of Gaza will shock Americans. Just read the article. How can the US be again so out of step with the world that it now needs more than ever to understand it, so as not to HATE it? TFA Palestinian supporters used to complain that nobody reported how suicide bombings were prompted by the daily misery of military occupation in Gaza and the West Bank. As Israeli opinion sees it, rocket attacks from Hizbullah and Hamas, both allies of Iran, pose far more of an existential threat than suicide bombing did. But no amount of lobbying and PR can get away from a simple truth: Israelis no longer appear as victims.
