POPSDying for Freedom (Gaza) Died while shouting “we are in a nonviolent protest, there are kids and internationals.” Like most Bil’in residents, and those of other villages non-violently protesting the stealing of their land, Basem was out every Friday, facing live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets, and various types of tear gas. It was the latest high-velocity tear gas projectile which bore into Basem’s chest, just as one did a month prior to Tristan Anderson’s head, rendering him critically injured.

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.

POPSZionist Blindness More propaganda from a Zionist who doesn't see that the way his country is treating Palestinians is comparable to the Holocaust; an apartheid that punishes people with poverty, sickness, violence and death, just because they're Palestinians, and they want Israel to stop stealing land from them. Shame on you Israel; you, above anyone else, should know better than to treat people the way you're treating Palestinians. That's "getting it straight".

POPSIsreali Propaganda Cartoon There's a certain irony that someone from a nation that's actively stealing land from other people should hint that their victims have imperialistic intentions. Projecting much, buddy?

POPSThe answer, NO! The Palestinian settlements in Israel were founded legally, without stealing land from anyone, unlike every Israeli settlement on Palestinian Land. Israelis seem to like redefining the situation to make their crimes against the Palestinians justifiable, but it still fails.

POPSLand of the Weak and Home of the Wussy
Most of us bitch about taxes and pay little attention to the fact that our nation is deeply mired in two wars. We refer to our military personnel as heroes (for fear of not seeming patriotic?) but want nothing to do with the consequences of those wars. I agree with the author on some points and not on others. He speaks a realization that few of us want to face, for instance: the lie that we fight the terrorists there so we don’t have to fight them here. I also agree with this statement: we Americans have been living off the rest of the world's misery. We are stealing oil from the people of nations like Iraq and Nigeria. We know our toys, our electronic devices and our fancy name-brand running shoes are being made by people who cannot afford to buy them themselves. We know that for decades we have been overthrowing elected governments and propping up fascist dictatorships to keep the exploitation going so that we can buy cheap goods and extract cheap resources.

POPSIsraelis are Nazis? Well, that's stretching credibility. What's more accurate is to compare the Israelis to the South African government during Apartheid. A minority in charge is treating a subjugated majority like swine, stealing land from them, and wiping out civilians and rebels alike when Palestinians dare to show their disapproval of the desperate situation in the only way open to them; violence. If you're going to demonize Zionists, then use the correct metaphor. Using the wrong one just causes more problems. And no, this isn't Antisemitism. I am a strong supporter of Semites; namely the Palestinian people.

POPSIn the land of the blind....whose in bed with who? Libyan oil exports to the US were resumed and in 2005, US energy companies invested in the country for the first time in more than two decades. In May 2006, Washington announced the full resumption of diplomatic ties with Libya. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has signed an agreement to pay Libya $5bn as part of a deal to resolve colonial-era disputes. Rome and Tripoli have spent years arguing over compensation for the colonial period. Mr Berlusconi's investment company controls Italy's three biggest private television stations. And, when he is in office, his appointees also run three public ones. Opponents complain that an Italian voter cannot escape blanket coverage favourable to Mr Berlusconi. They also say his control of the media extends beyond the news agenda, and that comedians who lampooned him when he was last prime minister never appeared on TV again.

POPSHow they brainwash us It's a believable mantra, if you consider destroying people's homes, bombing schools and stealing other people's land to be "defending the land". Oh, and bonus fact to amuse you; Palestinians are Semites, too, so, in truth, Israel is an Anti-Semite.

POPSOlmert and EU 'leaders' Dance on Dead Children of Gaza? Not Germany. They are still paying dearly for the sins of the Holocaust. How often has the Zionist begging-bowl been stuck in their faces? Why not the Zionist laughing? Where else will the supplies to rebuild Gaza come from? Who else has the right to charge exorbitant prices? Who else maintains a most profitable blockade on Gaza. Would they still be laughing if Gaza declared for joining up with the Zionists. Close down the prison! Ruin Israel with no cheap labour from the work camps. The land isn't worth stealing by the settlers. Join the other 20% of Arab-Israeli second class citizens with no effective vote. Quasi citizens with no representation now. Take Palestine back by stealth! One state solution by degrees. They already have all the water of the West Bank, sucking you dry. They have stolen your best land. Embrace the thieving bastards and you'll outnumber them!!

POPSWSJ:The Gaza-Egypt Smuggling Tunnels Must Be Closed 
To Israel, the USA, war poodle Tony Blair and apparently most of the ruling governments of the European Union and NATO, peace mean closing the tunnels that desparate caged people have dug to get food, medical supplies, petrol, building equipment, weapons for self-defense or simply to escape. Peace means accepting starvation. Peace means accepting conquests and the ongoing stealing of your land. Peace means not fighting back. When the USA or UK & other Western powers (or the paid off dictatorship of Egypt or Kings of Saudia Arabia) - when they talk about a Middle East peace process this is what they are talking about. But the fact that these million and a half people in Gaza have been slowly starved to death for over a year and a half, you would think, might be a point of consideration about what is going on in Gaza. Now in this clip the former Israeli ambassador to the UN indicates this is also a plan for the West Bank -- a 'defensible border,' which means control by cruel

POPSMany Eyes for an Eye People sniff at the phrase "Disproportionate Response", but it's the hard, cold truth of the matter. Hey, here's an idea; how about Israel stop stealing the tiny amount of land the Palestinians have left, stop blocking aid to Palestine, stop blocking refugees from leaving Palestine, stop bulldozing Palestinian homes and business to make your safety zones rather than making them from your own territory, and stop crying crocodile tears to the world? That, or extermination of all Palestinians are the only things that are going to stop this cycle of violence, and the solution is entirely up to Israel.

POPSShambhala Sun: Send in the Clowns – Clowns Without Borders goes to Chiapas
More: “For me it always comes back to the One Body,” Bernie says. “We think of the One Body as One, but it’s also a million different things, each of which is the One Body. It’s important to realize Oneness. It’s also important to honor each individual part of the One Body as the One Body. When we say that we’re global, when we say that we’re all One, do we also recognize the differences?…Some people don’t see the One Body and just honor one part, the part they’re comfortable with. Other people want to honor the One Body at the expense of its parts. The challenge is to honor each part as the One Body and not to exclude anything.” …clowning is not just a profession, it’s a practice. He’ll tell you that discovering one’s own clown world causes a shift in perspective. You may be a business person, a housewife, a teacher or a farmer, but when you enter your clown world you see things differently. And when you clown with other people, you help them see things differently.

POPS"Gay" Penguins Steal Eggs From "Straight" Couples A keeper at Polar Land in Harbin, north east China explained that the gay couple had the natural urge to become fathers, despite their sexuality. "One of the responsibilities of being a male adult is looking after the eggs. Despite this being a biological impossibility for this couple, the natural desire is still there," a keeper told the Austrian Times newspaper. "It's not discrimination. We have to fence them separately, otherwise the whole group will be disturbed during hatching time," he added. It's certainly a relief to hear that isolating the perverted birds doesn't constitute discrimination. We wouldn't want to get lawyers involved.

POPSLaw and Order in the virtual universes i think it is interesting the way a community is being built. from the article: "In 2006, Linden Lab, the creator of Second Life, canceled Marc Bragg's account for violating the world's policies on real estate deals. Bragg sued Linden, saying he legally owned the content he created in Second Life, including land and businesses. The suit was eventually settled, and Bragg's avatar was restored. Authorities also have intervened in crimes committed in online worlds. In the Netherlands, for example, a teenager was arrested for stealing more than $5,000 worth of virtual furniture in a world called Habbo. "This is such a nascent area when it comes to the law," said Sean F. Kane, a partner in the law firm Drakeford & Kane. "If a certain world allows you to be a thief, is it a crime or just an aspect of the game? Should real-world law apply?" there is much thinking to do, involved...

POPSIsraeli Housing Minister to permit 1460 new housing units in East Jerusalem settlements I find it odd that more Jews of good will do not stand up against all that is done in their name. Many KNOW how wrong this is, but far too many are silent. Silence to oppression is complicity. Thus, it looks as if the full-time job of Jews is stealing. Every time you look up, there is a Jewish name connected to stealing mega-millions in land, money and extracting favors from the suckers of America. I know there are many Jews who are appalled at the blatancy and frequency of the abuse by Israel's Jews, but who remain silent, lest they be labeled "self-hating Jew." SPEAK UP. SPEAK UP. SPEAK UP. What Israel does to Palestinians is as bad as anything anywhere at any time in all of human history.

POPSIsrael wants most fertile land and water in West Bank
What a surprise. Stealing. Always stealing. The cult started off stealing (just read your bible) and has been stealing and swindling ever since. They turn around and wonder why anyone in their right mind might not feel so good about the cult. Of course they know why people are piping mad, but they pretend to be dumb when it comes to human nature. They ration that in spite of treating Palestinians worse than Hitler treated Jews, that Palestinians should be in love with them. Most obvious is that they KNOW they live, breath and sleep on a bed of lies and the hope and pray the world believes their lies. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is that the State of israel is, in fact, one of the most cruel and barbaric regimes in the world today. That's the truth and no amount of their bullying and whining can change that fact. No amount of name-calling and invoke the the label of Nazi can change these facts. Israel is wrong and the world should recognize it openly and universa

POPSComic "Your stealing their Land. Try being reasonable" "You don't simply bundle people onto trucks and drive them away ... I prefer to advocate a more positive policy ... to create, in effect, a condition that in a positive way will induce people to leave." Ariel Sharon, quoted by David Bernstein in Forcible Removal of Arabs gaining support in Israel", The (London) Times, August 24, 1988, page 7. Cited in Imperial Israel And The Palestinians: The Politics of Expansion, by Nur Masalha; Chapter 2, footnote 117.

This leaves it up to the individual to determine what is right and wrong. This is a by-product of the common philosophy prevalent in society today of, truth being relevant. It is up to each individual to determine what is right and wrong, there are no absolutes. Honesty and integrity can never be taught when the defining of such is left up to each individual. There are absolutes ">>- (from the article)

POPSWorrying about the image of switzerland They are talking about the shame of federal place in bern, switzerland. They'd better talk about the shame INSIDE swiss parliament: making a gift of 3'500 millions swiss francs to the bosses while stealing away 5'400 millions swiss francs from swiss social state! If they continue like that, they'd better get used to riots in switzerland! (I, personally, wasn't at bern...)
