POPSNUKE GAZA: A WORLD GONE MAD "Not since 1948 has this enclave of extremists mounted such a public relations offensive. Christian Zionist President Harry Truman trusted Jewish Zionist lobbyists when he solicited assurances that they would not become what they immediately became: a racist theocratic state with an expansionist agenda destined to create serial crises in the region. The merciless global agenda pursued by Colonial Zionists is the single greatest threat to world peace, as confirmed yet again by Lieberman’s warning. As the primary remaining ally of these Jewish nationalists, the risks to the U.S. increase with each passing day as Tel Aviv works behind the scenes to catalyze yet another conflict. This entangled alliance was destined to provoke resentments that would eventually endanger their super power ally and foremost arms provider. "

POPSNoor Almaleki is Dead :( :( Let's pray Rifqa Bary isn't next. Btw: I met Pam Geller, Robert Spencer and a whole wack of other awesome folks at the International Legal Conference of Free Speech and Religion last week in Washington Dc. It was a real honor. You can hear much more about the conference at : http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/11/legal-conference-on-freedom-of-speech.html#readfurther (and on a much needed lighter note, I had the good fortune to run into Steven Crowder at Dulles Airport last night and got to thank him for his work---he was exactly like he is in the videos---good guy )

POPSRacist Undertones Of The 'Socialist' Epithet
More From The Article: Take another black leader, another society fraught by racial division. In 1956, Nelson Mandela and 155 other antiapartheid activists were arrested by the South African government under the infamous Suppression of Communism Act of 1950, a law that was used gratuitously to incarcerate anyone who was critical of the government. The treason trial that followed resulted in a 1961 acquittal for all those involved, the government unable to prove any "socialist" intentions. But the political equation of black activists as "communists" would continue up through the 1980s. The Reagan administration egregiously soft-pedaled the issue of apartheid on the basis of the South African government's purported anticommunist stance. Indeed, the South African government itself viewed its policies not as racist, but as anticommunist. Only popular pressure through a global antiapartheid movement persuaded the US to isolate South Africa. It takes the cry of "socialism!" liter

POPSStop pumping our money to them! Yes, this is disgusting and must be condemned in every corner of the world. But first of all I don't want to pay for insane exercises of deranged fanatics with twisted indoctrinated brains. They didn't answer yet for already committed crimes against humanity. This is clear sign of apartheid, let's call things by their own names.. :cool:

POPSApartheid Much 83. Various witnesses and experts informed the Mission of a sharp increase in the use of force by the Israeli security forces against Palestinians in the West Bank from the commencement of the Israeli operations in Gaza (Chapter XIX). A number of protestors were killed by Israeli forces during Palestinian demonstrations, including in support of the Gaza population under attack, following the beginning of the operations, and scores were injured. The level of violence employed in the West Bank during the time of the operation in Gaza, was sustained also after the end of the operation.

POPSHolocuast Liar! Your Lie! Holocaust. When the Iranian leader says the Holocaust is a false pretext for genocide in Palestinian...it get's reported that he "denies the Holocaust." Sometimes the papers have to quote someone else quoting his quotes to make the false propaganda more plausible. #1. The Holocaust has nothing to do with Arabs. #2. Collective punishment, apartheid, the slow starvation of over a million and a half people in the Gaza Strip are the war crimes and inhumanity going on now.

POPSHow America turns a blind eye to apartheid in the Middle East
Nevertheless, some of the brightest signs of hope for the Middle East come from Israelis fighting for justice for Palestinians. Neve Gordon may be about to lose his job as chair of the Department of Politics and Government at Ben Gurion University, for his support for Palestinian rights. He wrote last week: “For more than 42 years, Israel has controlled the land between the Jordan Valley and the Mediterranean Sea. And there’s Ofra Ben-Artzi. Earlier this month, she was arrested in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem while going to comfort Palestinian friends, evicted to make way for Jewish families. She wrote: “I could see the ultra-Orthodox men and women, in their distinctive clothing, walking quietly along the road ... nor did the bars prevent me from seeing that Umm Kamel's tent, where she had been living since her own expulsion, was also gone. From the floor of the police car I saw what looked like a complete Judaisation of the neighbourhood. “We are walking

POPSEU Opposes Israel Settlement Expansion
The demand to end Israeli settlement expansion couldn't be any clearer. The USA also quite firm and clear on this. Other major nations also speaking out on their own. This dramatic reversal from 60 years of turning a blind eye to Israeli's ongoing aggression appear to have -- thankfully -- turned. When members of my immediate family fought against Germany and Japan (3 silver stars, bronze stars, purple hearts) it wasn't for the Jews -- it was against the mistreatment, abuse, ruthless aggression against Anyone. That included six (6) million Poles, the Chinese in Manchuria, etc. Of course, like all wars, there were lies and hype, there was a blindness to one's own or one's past actions but, you know, if someone blows up your fleet or knocks over your tallest buildings, killing thousands, you gotta fight back, right or wrong, and then try to sort it out. We're trying to sort it out. The apartheid, collective punishment, starvation blockades and ceaseless Israeli aggression mus

POPSU.S. Says Again: No More Settlement Expansion This week the new Obama Administration repeated it's positon --- a position in all Middle East peace talks for the last decades - that there should be no more expansion of Israeli settlements. No nothing. No exceptions. No more. They couldn't make it any clearer. Of course, Israeli and pro-zionist news sources thus talk as if the negotations for "renewed peace talks," have failed when, in fact, they haven't even started. The Zionist idea of someone's else's failure appears to mean they don't agree with the Israeli position, or any of it's policies of collective punishment, apartheid and the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people (i.e. Zionism). There is a lot of political backlash on this, for sure. Warmongers, racist, neo-cons and zionist extremist now are the President's worst critics and want to drag him down the most. Of course, These forces also continue to look for excuses or weasel words to keep on with their plans for final conquest of all of Jerusalem and

POPSIsrael Claims UN's IAEA Withholding Info Israel, which has hundreds of secret illegal nukes and god knows what weapons of mass destruction...and has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty...now accused the UN of withhold info and accused Iran of not abiding by "proper," nuclear policies. And it wants the USA and the West to go to war about this and/or cripple the Iranian economy. What's wrong with this picture? -- It's the opposite of the truth. The truth is Israel's secret and illegal nuclear weapons. But we're suppose to go to war because of empty claims of Iran's alleged "desire," for nuclear weapons. Israel is in no position to make such accusations or demand more wars. It's the one that should open it nuclear weapons programs to UN inspection (like Iran does). Supporting Israel is support collective punishment, apartheid, policies of genocide towards the Palestinians. It's best the worst mistake in USA modern history and in the EU, too. Israel is the active and real threat to world peace

POPSIsraeli professor may be fired for opposing apartheid Certainly would make "academic freedom" farcical in Israel.

POPSJPost: "Israel has rarely looked this bad in European eyes"!!! British supermarkets are being pressed by critics of Israeli settlement policy to initiate a new labelling practice, whereby goods from Palestinian and Israeli producers are respectively marked as such, so that British consumers will know whether they are buying Israeli or Palestinian products. What begins in the UK, the activists with whom I spoke this week further noted, could quickly spread to Europe - where, incidentally, there have already been some extremist-organized consumer protests against the sale of Israeli products, and where Sweden will soon be succeeding the notably more sympathetic-to-Israel Czech Republic as president of the EU. ...JPost

POPSWhy Israeli Jew Uri Davis joined Fatah to save Palestine
So what does Davis believe, and why? His father was a British Jew who met his mother, a Czech, in British Mandatory Palestine in the mid-1930s, where they married in 1939, four years before his birth. While his mother escaped the transports to the gas chambers at Auschwitz, many in her family did not. It is a familiar story in Israel. But the lesson that Davis learnt from it was different from the vast majority of Jews who concluded that never again could Jews depend on others to guarantee their security from persecution. "An important part of the education that I received from my parents," Davis recalled last week, "was never to generalise. To beware of every sentence that begins with 'all'. It was not 'all' Germans who killed my mother's family. It was some Nazis." Another distinction was emphasised by his mother. "If she heard the suggestion of vengeance, she would be horrified. She sought justice. One of the biggest problems addressing a Zionist audience is that the distinction

POPSCharles Bronson got your tongue? A review of "District 9"
More: The movie does end on a note of incompletion: characters still at large, maybe the second half of the story yet to come. I craved that, and walked out of the theatre speculating on what more the story could have given me: a virus that turns every human into an alien; an interspecies romance; how the black intern's role could have been bigger. What would protest marches and interspecies activist alliances have looked like, among the aliens? If they landed in 1982, what would the anti-apartheid Sun City campaign that started not much later have looked like? And if they were in South Africa that whole time, why haven't the world intelligentsia anointed some of them for speaking tours? I would totally love to see "Christopher Johnson" in an ascot at some Ivy League colloquium, deep in debate over the roots and meaning of alien poverty. So. There was potential there, but the movie couldn't do it…the ambition was there, but not the follow-through.

POPSWhat you Can and Cannot Do in the Middle East I can't really blame this artist; he's a victim of his homeland's (Israel) program of propaganda, which deceives them into thinking that Israel is doing nothing wrong, when in reality, they are stealing land from a cultural minority that the government treats like blacks were treated during the South African Apartheid. The only Palestinian casualties they ever hear about are "insurgents"; they don't hear about the women and children that are imprisoned or killed for no reason by the IDF. They've been set up like spoiled brats; trained to look down their noses at other nations in the Middle East, despite the fact that their government is guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity (and show no sign of stopping those crimes). Not to say that Iran is a Garden of Eden, but Israel ranks right up there with Iran when it comes to tyranny.

POPSHugo Chavez of Venuzuela: New Laws: Saint or Sinner? Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is a very interesting person, making profound changes in his nation and strong in his opposition to many U.S. policies. He's in the headlines today for new laws that cut out state support for Catholic education in the schools, introduction of "socialist doctrine," (about'The Liberator', Simón Bolívar), restrictions on hostile media and (gasp!) rights of the government to expropriate property. He opposes Israeli policies of warmongering, apartheid and genocide, is not only forming alliances with Russian and Iran but is building up a substantial coalition of Central and South American countries. The clip here is about the U.S. now planning to put "troops on the ground in Columbia," - (after a lifetime of covert military actions --- Columbia is one of the USA proxy armies in the region). He's also called George Bush the Devil (good for him) and he disdains the game of golf (probably shouldn't have mentioned this). Saint or Sinner? ¿Otro

POPSObama Presents 16 Medal of Freedoms (like UK Honor's List) Once again the difference between this new Obama Administration and the nightmare of the last 8 Bush years couldn't be more clear. Bush gave Medals of Freedom to lying CIA directors, racist UN appointees, and such others. Obama's presentation today was (once again) truly inspiration, given to real people who did real actions in the real world to make life better for others and us all. The Americans were men, woman, gay, straight, healty, disabled, Black, White, Hispanic and Native American Indian. Also was the former President of Ireland and former UN Human Rights Commissioner, Mary Robinson, noted anti-apartheid activist ArchbishopTutu, and a micro-economist from India (who set up a pretty cool idea to get credit to the poor to start businesses) (I think Crow warrior, WWII vet, Doctor Joe Medicine Crow-High Bird said something like: Thank you Great Black-White Father). The the real war and political war goes on strong. It's people like this vs. the hate-filed minds

POPSNew Israeli "Pretenses for Peace," Announced This is a rather ruthless, cynical and cold view of the announced intent to "restart." Israeli-Palestinian, Middle East peace negotiations next month. "Restarting this carousel first begins with the old tune: The Israeli's say the Arabs must make concessions. They ask for these concessions while publicly and actively evicting Palestinian, and expanding their Jewish settlements into former Arab territory. Then the chorus sings: "And what about the 'problem,' of Gaza" --- or the Golan Heights or Palestinian violent resistance to oppression and invasion...all as if these are problems caused by others and nothing to do with their own policies of fascism, apartheid, collective punishment and Palestinian genocide. Now, everybody sing: "All we are saying is, give peace a chance." BUT - the "problem" of Gaza is that one and a half million people are being starved to death in front of the eyes of the world, for the last two years, due to an Israeli blockade. Stopping that woul
