POPS It's A Party! -- Kinda' [& NO Applause for Ahmadinejad] While the United States and Israel left their ambassadorial seats empty, here is the Jew-hatred greeted by enthusiasm at today’s U.N. In its entire history, the United Nations General Assembly has never adopted a resolution dedicated to denouncing and combating the scourge of antisemitism in all its forms. Now we know why. Less than half of U.N. members are fully free democracies and among them there is no consensus that discrimination and demonization of Jews and the Jewish state is wrong. On the contrary, at the U.N. vicious antisemitism is met by a round of applause. — Anne Bayefsky is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and at Touro College. She is also editor of www.EyeontheUN.org..

POPSDisabled Jewish Vet Caused Iowa City Flood!!! "It's because of folks like you that we got this flood." "He endured repeated efforts by Protestant chaplains to evangelize him in his hospital bed." ... IsraeliENews Is this for real? My sense is that both sides are out of order.

POPSShamefull Religious Intollerance That people would be so transparently discriminatory is honestly surprising to me, although it shouldn't be. There is no right to force non-Christians to recite Christian prayers in American public schools. There is no right to put God in the plege. Just like I have no right to force Christians to leave offerings before the statues of the Buddha. But don't get me wrong. This isn't about Christianity. Christianity no where condones this abhorrent and intolerant behavior. This is about the power of discrimination, and it is an addictive social phenomenon. These people would do the exact same thing with another religion. Christianity was just the most convenient vehicle for their hatred at the time. Apparently we still need to change a lot about our society before we can live with our neighbors in peace.

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.

POPSLeft Wing Anti-Semitism I cannot but agree with the essential point that much criticism of Israel and Zionism from the Left is barely disguised distaste for Jewishness. Read the article, see what you think.

University police set up a hidden camera. They said the girl admitted responsibility Monday. The student lives in Mitchell Hall, where half a dozen swastikas had shown up on her dorm room door in the past several weeks.

POPSRussian Fascist Rallies Everywhere aren't they? The kindest thing I can think to say is that fundamentalists of every type are too weak to find personal meaning and identity, and seek a simplistic security in a crowd of belonging. The rapidly changing world is too much for some.

While there is humor, it can have a reality that can't be denied. If you're going to be funny, and use your own failings as material, you're never going to be short of a joke. People often laugh, because a comedian can cay something their flaws in a funny way, that they are afraid to say about themselves.

POPSCloser to Home: 2007 US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
The Government permits but does not require religious instruction in public schools. Most primary and secondary schools are denominational, and their boards of management are governed partially by trustees within the Catholic Church or, in some cases, the Church of Ireland. Under the terms of the Constitution, the Department of Education must and does provide equal funding to schools of different religious denominations, including Islamic and Jewish schools. Although religious instruction is an integral part of the curriculum, parents may exempt their children from such instruction. On July 20, 2006, unknown persons painted anti-Semitic graffiti on the exterior wall of an office building during the conflict involving Israel and Hezbollah. The police promptly removed the graffiti but never identified those responsible for it. The Israeli embassy in Dublin received anti-Semitic and anti-Israel phone calls that expressed outrage at Israel's actions during the conflict with Lebanon.

POPSOnly Pol Pot has a worse Human Rights Record?!
No country with such a record, whether first or 50th worst in the world, can credibly protest a boycott. Apartheid South Africa provides another useful standard. How does Israel's behavior toward Palestinians compare to former South Africa's treatment of blacks? It is similar or worse, say a number of South Africans, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, U.N. special rapporteur in the occupied territories John Dugard, and African National Congress member and government minister Ronnie Kasrils. The latter observed recently that apartheid South Africa never used fighter jets to attack ANC activists, and judged Israel's violent control of Palestinians as "10 times worse." Dual laws for Jewish settlers and Palestinians, segregated roads and housing, and restrictions on Palestinians' freedom of movement strongly recall apartheid South Africa. If boycotting apartheid South Africa was appropriate, it is equally fair to boycott Israel on a similar record. Israel has been singled out, but n

POPSCatch All antiSemitism hids Racism, Apartheid, Ethnic Cleansing, Land Theft, Torture, Assassination
Ahmedinejad never vowed to wipe Israel off the map, yet the lie is slyly and regularly repeated to drum up support for an attack on Iran. Israel's supporters level the anti-Semitism charge against Arabs, too, to explain away Arab outrage over Israel's racist and colonialist policies toward Palestinians, defined by land theft and control through ethnic cleansing, imprisoning walls, and the imprisonment and assassination of any Palestinian with leadership potential. As though these are insufficient reasons for hatred of Israel; as though Palestinians would tolerate the ongoing assault on their existence as a nation were non-Jewish oppressors responsible. This pretence that Israel is being persecuted by malevolent Arabs is easily debunked when the facts are considered: take for example kill rates (an average of 4 Palestinian civilians killed for every Israeli killed; about 8 Palestinian children for every Israeli child); house demolitions (thousands of Palestinian homes, 0 Israeli

POPSNo "Increase in Anti-Semitic Violence in Britain" US Dept of State Who did you trust U.S. Department of State or Foxcrap? These OFFICIAL figures are fractions of the attacks on Muslims in the UK. The misnomer anti-Semitism figures were 18 persons charged and 8 convicted!!! Get a grip. There is no comparison in the public perception of Jews as against Arabs, the true Semites, in Britain!!! In whose interest is it to talk up virtually none existent figures to give the mainly tolerant Brits a bad reputation??? Not England's! Not Arabs! Who??? Pseudo victims?

POPSUnified theory of the crank ... It explains the tendency of cranks not to care if other cranks (and denialists in general for that matter) have variations on their own crazy ideas, just as long as the other cranks are opposing the same perceived incorrect truth. Cranks and denialists aren't honest brokers in a debate, they stand outside of it and just shovel horse manure into it to try to sow confusion and doubt about real science. They don't care if some other crank or denialist comes along and challenges the prevailing theory by tossing cow manure, as long as what they're shoveling stinks. This clip makes me think of willhelm

POPSagainst "the best of the genocides award" the singularity of the holocaust is that it was the result of a determined racial policy, based on "scientific" studies, wich proclaimed the jews as the main danger for humanity and civilization. they were vilified as the supreme evil. keeping the memory of those crimes is a remember for all other similar deeds. people who call for the "equality " of genocides display a historical complex about it and, sometimes, disguise an unrepentant antisemitism.
