Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation

Posted in Humanity, Israel, Occupation, Palestine by ed~ on July 23, 2009

What killed the two-state solution?

“The international community stood by and patted themselves on the back while Israel expanded the settlements and instituted a system of racial separation with exclusive rights for Jews. And this was called the peace process. Case closed. The question becomes not whether the two-state solution was ever possible, but whether it was ever preferable.” - Adam Horowitz

    The “pro-Israel” litmus test

    Posted in Israel, Occupation, Palestine, USA by ed~ on December 6, 2009

    WHOA! Not that this is news, but reading such material from a mainstream paper is startling to say the least. One wonders what the CNI will make of that.

    Stop filming!

    O wine-bearer brighten my cup with the wine,
    O minstrel say good fortune is now mine.
    The face of my Beloved is reflected in my cup,
    Little you know why with wine, I always myself align.
    Eternal is the one whose heart has awakened to Love,
    This is how Eternal Records my life define.

    Yet another fallen. More here.

    Quote of the day re. Canada-Israel

    Posted in Canada, Israel by ed~ on November 20, 2009

    “I find it very difficult to believe that at a time when the majority of the international community is calling for investigations into what happened during Israel’s invasion of Gaza, our leaders are arguing over which party is more blindly supportive of Israel.”Thomas Woodley [link added by me]
