POPSChristian Zionism: A story everyone should know RABBI MICHAEL LERNER: Well-- I'm hoping we have a few more years here. And I think in the 21st Century the growing wisdom of the American people and of all people is that our well being depends on the well being of everyone else on the planet, and I think that the Israeli population increasingly are coming to understand that their well being depends on the well being of Palestinians and of the Arab world. That there's that fundamental interdependence.

POPSCensorship in American Universities: Harvard But is it anti-Semitic to ask why the Palestinians should pay the price for the ghastly crime of the Germans? Why were the property rights of the German perpetrators sacrosanct and those of the guiltless Palestinians adjudged an acceptable casualty? In U.S. foreign policy, not all racial groups are guaranteed the same rights and protections. Otherwise, why does the U.S. rightly defend Jewish people’s claims on EU bank accounts, property, and compensation for labour expropriated during the 1930s and 1940s, while quashing the rights of millions of Palestinians refugees to lands, houses, and goods stolen as a condition of Israel’s founding in the late 1940s? As a nation we seem unconscious of the hypocrisy. The convention that persecuted Europeans had the right to safe havens on lands stolen from non-EU was, by the mid-20th century, as outmoded as the Confederacy’s defence of slavery in the mid-19th. ...Harvard Crimson

POPSDissenting at Your Own Risk Many times I have been around people who stomped out any discussion of Palestine's plight. Essentially, if you brought it up, people call you Anti-Semitic or they look at you like you just endorsed child abuse.

POPSJews against Zionism I have clipped this not to promote a point of view but to offer those who care to know the many strands of perspectives on Israel an opportunity to go and look at some sites that explain that by no means all Jews support the state of Israel or its Zionist ideology.

POPSSigmund Freud's Letter against Zionism! "Freud would not have been surprised at the continuing conflict in the Middle East. He predicted as much 70 years ago." "We can predict Freud's response because of a letter he wrote to Dr. Chaim Koffler in 1930."

POPSThe true miracle of Israel Israel's existence is portrayed as a resurrection of sorts: from near-annihilation to a "miraculous" rebirth. In the United States, Christian Zionists see their allegiance to Israel as a religious duty. When an American politician, for example, is accused of not standing "fully behind Israel," the accusation stands on its own, like a biblical command that has survived the test of time and reason: Thou shalt stand fully behind Israel. As the 60th anniversary of the so-called birth of Israel draws near, a most impressive -- albeit grotesque -- misrepresentation of that history will be offered in abundance , omitting how Israel was delivered on top of the ruins of hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages. The killing and ethnic cleansing that became known as the Palestinian Catastrophe -- or Nakba -- was not the work of invisible and miraculous seraphs, but rather well trained and well-armed Zionist gangs and their supporters.

POPSAfter Murder Attempt, New Testaments Burnt So it's not just Christians and Muslims that the Zionists hate. Jew baiting takes on a whole different meaning with these extreme fascist youths more reminiscent of Nazis that peaceful religious Jews. How unsure they must be of their position and faith that they behave like TERRORISTS. These terrorists demonstrate very little respect for the Christian Bible. What do the Christian Zionists have to say? Is anyone persecuting them?

POPSPalin: "Only Flag in My Office" is Israeli
So which "country first"? This is why she is McCain's running mate, as she bows to the neocon-Israeli agenda. Seriously, for those who defend her no matter what she does or says, blindly, what do you think of this statement which smacks of blatant flattery? You must conclude that she either (1) was mistaken in what she said (i.e. "she did not really mean that"), so she is unable to speak intelligently, or (2) she does mean it and therefore puts American and Alaska interests under that of the state called Israel and its militant Zionist agenda. Clearly she was trying to flatter and impress Peres, which is of course a form of lying for personal benefit, and not very Christian. Truly Palin is "AIPAC approved" and is a sycophant of the neocon agenda that McCain (and Lieberman) push. TRUSTWORTHINESS is something that has been lacking in Washington, and it appears that Palin is no "reformer" in that regard. (Again, not claiming that Obama is worthy either. He is not).

POPSWhy Israel fits in with the West
"It is possible that war is the only way out of the situation created by Zionism. I leave it to others to find cause for rejoicing in this. But if there is any chance of some day seeing a peaceful solution, it will not be achieved by telling the Arabs that it is their duty to applaud their conquerors because they are Europeans or are in the process of becoming Europeanized, because they are 'advanced,' because they are revolutionary or (almost) socialist and, even less, simply because they are Jews! The most that can be asked of the Arabs is that they resign themselves to a disagreeable situation, and that in resigning themselves they make the best of their resignation. It is not easy to get a conquered person to resign himself to defeat, and it is not made any easier by loudly proclaiming how right it was that he was soundly beaten. It is generally wiser to offer him compensation. And those who have not suffered from the fight can (and, I believe, even must) recommend forgiveness ...

POPSEvangelical Christians plead for Israel Last month, John Hagee led the first summit of Christians United for Israel in Washington. As the Mid-East continues to roil, more and more of his fellow end-time-focused groups are making their voice heard in American politics, influencing our foreign policy decisions for their purposes. "When they see what's going on in the Middle East, a whole range of enemies arrayed against God's people, they see God's word being played out on their television sets"

POPSA Jew Seeking Justice, Again.
This is the story of Israel - a stolen land taken from the Palestinians. The Zionist movement was founded on the principle that the Jews deserved a land; a land that they could call their State; their home but they would only be able to identify themselves as a wholly Jewish state at the expense of uprooting an existent civilization, the indigenous Arab population. The Jewish claim to Palestine is based on the existence of a kingdom that reigned for only 414 years. The Jewish kingdoms were only one of many periods of ancient Palestine. There exists the dangerous misconception that opposition to Jewish occupation stems from anti-Semitism. Tensions between Arabs and Jews began after Zionist settlers arrived in the 1880s and had bought land from absentee Arab owners. This led to the dispossession of land that had been cultivated by peasants. In effect, the Zionists were colonizing Arab land. The Zionists probably could not have been so successful in their acquisitions if it weren't

POPSTalks of partitioning Jerusalem However A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert denied an assertion by an Olmert confidant that his government would support a partition of Jerusalem to help pave the way toward peace with the Palestinians. "The report is baseless and untrue," Baker said by telephone from Israel.

POPSDePaul denies tenure to Israel critic Shameful. It looks very much like Finkelstein's views played a large role in his denial of tenure, since university officials cited his " tone " as justification to deny Finkelstein tenure. BTW, a committee of faculty from DePaul's political science department looked at Dershowitz's charges and found them to be without merit .

POPSZION’S REBEL DAUGHTER. Hannah Arendt on Palestine and Jewish Politics After saving I was getting a message from ClipMarks that there was a problem. This post was a test only to see if it was working. The same problem message came up and it's only this morning that I discovered that despite the message, the clip was posted. I intended to post from this site at some point but not in this haphazard manner. Sorry.

POPSAnti-Zionist Jews Protest Israel ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS will never show you this. The network media executives, mostly Jewish, are Zionists. The most persecuted are the Torah Jews that are against Israel and Zionism and even have burned Israeli flags in protest. Now if Arabs or Christians did this (as Ahmadinejad of Iran protests Israel) they would be called anti-semitic (the ADL's invented label) but clearly this is not the case.

POPSWright's Voice Could Spell Doom for Obama I am so grateful that Obama's association with this man has come out. The American people would have been voting for a fabrication of the American media instead of the person the Sen. truly is. Not only would they have chosen (and some still are) a man completely unqualified and inexperienced but someone who mouthed the proper platitudes to deceive the gullible multitudes.

POPSGuardian Interview: Wanted, for crimes against the state
The Law of Return, he argues, is a fundamental problem, as is the idea of a state both Jewish and democratic. "The problem with this state is that it cannot grant equality. It cannot separate religion and state, and it will always have an ideological mission that will keep it from integrating in the region or serving its citizens." He describes Israel as a "colonial democracy". "The basic relationship between a state and its citizens should be citizenship, not ethnic or religious affiliation," he says. "Who is a citi-zen of Israel? Is my cousin in Lebanon who left the country in 1948 allowed to come back or not? This is basic. But somebody who can prove that his mother is Jewish, from Brooklyn - he can come." Israel does not have a constitution... "You took the land and gave me freedom of speech," he says. "Who's winning here? Let's revise the deal. Take your freedom of speech and give me back Palestine. How about that?" The longer the conflict between Israelis a

POPS"Forget a two-state solution" Palestinians must have right of return and Jewish presence in occupied territories grows 3X faster than Israel itself. The mix is here to stay. Only a single, democratic, secular, multi-cultural state can protect the rights of all.

POPSWinston Churchill Warns of "Terrorist Jews"--not Islamic Terrorists
Contrast the media's "militant Islamists" versus Churchills' "terrorist Jews" in this eye-opening article written by him. Today what Churchill calls "international Jews" includes the neoconservatives and modern militant Zionists's ideology, including the Federal Reserve Banksters, World Zionist Congress, Bilderberg and other secret societies, including from which Freemasonry sprang (Churchill lists Weishaupt founder of Illuminatti), as well as the modern "Israel" he advocated for the cause of "Zionism" back then. The radical "international Jews" he refers to by their behavior and ideology, not their race, and calls them "terrorist Jews". Note he said the "world-wide conspiracy" was real, from which also "democracy" came ("impossible equality"), particularly starting with the bloody French Revolution where it was these kind of Jews that started the philosopy of mass murder of the Christian royalty and churches (albeit corrupt, not truly Christian), and fomented revolutions around

POPS Evil Unchecked Grows Evil Tolerated Poisons
The enemy uses children as human bombs, mothers as suicide bombers, men driven by the glory of death and the promise of eternal sexual bliss in heaven...and martyrdom on earth. This is the enemy reality: murder and death of "infidels" by any means for the glory of Allah. The American Congress for Truth (ACT) was formed in June 2002. Our Members Include: Jews, Arabs, Christians, and non-Muslims from all backgrounds both secular and religious, liberals and conservatives. These good people have put their differences aside to combat both anti-American and anti-Israel propaganda masquerading as anti-Imperialism and anti-Zionism: in the Western media among the intellectual elite on American college campuses in churches, synagogues and other places of worship in business groups and civic meetings wherever it exists America defeated communism-- it is time to stare down the evil of religious bigotry and intolerance. Many times in history, citizens have done nothing...and evil
