“Boycotting Israel: the Hypocrisies of Petty Narcissisms”
Beryl Wajsman, Canada Free Press
January 10, 2006
"A society begins to die when it remains silent on injustice"
~ The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
So, some of the great "progressive" forces of Quebec have decided to boycott Israeli products and companies because of Israel´s "apartheid politics". What unadulterated hypocrisy and sham...
“Mayhem in Gaza and the Future of Palestine: Warning Shots”
Martin Peretz, The New Republic
January 03, 2006
"The only thing that´s going to solve this," Steven Spielberg told Time magazine, "is rational minds, a lot of sitting and talking until you´re blue in the gills." This, I suppose, is what goes for heavy thinking in Hollywood...
“A Failure of Purpose”
Jeevan Vasagar, The Guardian
January 03, 2006
It was kind of the foreigners to dig the borehole, but the Sudanese villagers were a little bemused by it.
They had been drinking water from the river since time began, and they would keep on doing it.
As one of the elders explained to me, the river water might be murky but it had a nice flavour, while this transparent stuff from the borehole just tasted of nothing.
It was not the first time I was to encounter such a collision between the well-meaning work of a western aid agency and a stubborn African tradition.
“The Struggle Against Anti-Israel Bias at the UN Commission on Human Rights”
Hillel C. Neuer, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs
January 01, 2006
One of the greatest violators of the UN Charter´s equality guarantee has been the UN Commission on Human Rights. It systematically singles out Israel for discriminatory treatment and denies it equality before the law. This bias obstructs the UN from fulfilling its true mandate to secure peace and the betterment of mankind.
It is legitimate for the UN to criticize Israel, which should be held accountable like every other country. However, it is not legitimate when UN bodies do so unfairly, selectively, massively, sometimes exclusively, and always obsessively...
“Understanding When Weakness is not a Virtue”
Gerald Steinberg, The Jerusalem Post
January 01, 2006
The victory of the Maccabees which took place 22 centuries ago was a triumph of the "few against the many" and the weak against the strong. Similarly, in the dramas of Moses facing Pharaoh, David against Goliath, and - in 1948 and 1967 - tiny Israel versus the onslaught of the combined Arab armies, the success of the underdog is a frequent theme in Jewish history...
"Eye Witness Report from Bethlehem: 12/30/05 Holy Land Trust´s Solidarity Walk to The Wall"
Eileen Fleming, OpEdNews.com
December 31, 2005
On 12/30/05, the concluding activity of Holy Land Trust´s historic Celebrating Nonviolent Resistance Conference held in the little town and occupied territory of Bethlehem was a Peace-filled Walk to The Wall which divides Bethlehem from Jerusalem...
"With No Palestinian State in Sight, Aid Becomes an Adjunct to Occupation"
Ghada Karmi, The Guardian
December 31, 2005
Israeli policy is the root cause of need in the occupied territories, but donors pay up without challenging it...
“Whither Christian Peacemakers?”
Margaret Wente, Globe and Mail
December 06, 2005
A year ago, Iraqi terrorists kidnapped Margaret Hassan, the head of CARE International in Iraq. Ms. Hassan, who held British and Irish citizenship, had spent three decades working with the people of Iraq. She had an Iraqi husband, spoke fluent Arabic, and was an outspoken critic of the United Nations-imposed sanctions against Iraq. She was one of the best friends the Iraqi people ever had...
"Can Europe provide security?"
Gerald M. Steinberg, Jerusalem Post
December 05, 2005
If there is something surprising about the emerging post-disengagement arrangements, it is the degree of European involvement. The EU is forming a Border Assistance Mission to secure the Rafah Crossing, while the UK and others are training Palestinian "security forces"...
"Psychologists for Social Irresponsibility"
Irwin J. Mansdorf, FrontPageMagazine.com
November 25, 2005
As noted in FrontPageMag, the group Psychologists for Social Responsibility (PsySR) last week launched an incendiary attack against Israel when it charged the Jewish state with waging “pernicious psychological warfare” against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza strip...
