POPS‘Israel of the Caucasus’ and just as warlike!!! The list of Israeli personnel involved in either supplying arms to Georgia or training elite Georgian military units speaks volumes for the extent of Israeli involvement in a country to which it feels close psychological attachment. Kezerashvili's ties to Israel have been well known since his father told the biggest-selling Tel Aviv daily, Yediot Ahronot, a year ago: "He has a lot of friends to this day in Israel, and he has maintained good relations with them." Recently, his pro-Israeli sympathies have been fortified by Saakashvili's typically over-the-top description of his country's role in the face of Russian aggression as the "Israel of the Caucasus"

POPSRudd's UN Vote Risks Anger of Jewish community In Israel, meanwhile, tens of thousands gathered yesterday at the square in Tel Aviv where PM Rabin was assassinated, to remember the man and his legacy 13 years after his murder. On Nov 4, 1995, Rabin was gunned down by an ultra-nationalist Jewish opponent of his policy of trading land to the Palestinians for peace. "Yitzhak, you are missed. The country misses you, you are missed by every one of us, but your way has not been lost," said President Peres, Rabin's partner in peacemaking, who was by his side the night he was assassinated. The rally in the square in front of the Tel Aviv town hall has become an annual event for Israelis wishing to pay their respects to their late leader.

POPSThe New Iran: Dangerous, but more rational Author argues that Iran is no longer interested in terrorism, and is no longer a state of "true believers," but is interested conventional power; most immediate danger is from Israel; nuclear power is a bargaining chip, rather than a real desire for a weapon.

POPSAmerica's Israeli-Occupied Media During the Six-Day War, Israel attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty belonging to its closest ally, the USA. Thirty-four American servicemen were killed in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats. Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident based on mistaken identification of the ship. The American government accepted the explanation.

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).

POPSNasrallah: Palestine, from sea to river, entirely Arab property From his own lips he proclaims the plans and intentions of the Muslim/Arab world of the Middle East. Take the blinders off, appeasers. He's serious and all the peace talks, initiatives, plans, meetings, etc...will not change their goal. No Israel. No Israelis. period. What more can he say??

POPSAn Outrage in Iraq Unless Arabs and Israelis enter into dialogue with one another, there is no prospect for peace in the Middle East. Yet here is a man, a visionary man apparently, who grasps this truth but will be punished for it by the "democratic" government in Iraq. This is an outrage.

POPSOn the terror war quagmire-a Pakistani view Terrorism is the sword of extremism, whether it is religious, ethnic or regional. Islamic fundamentalism in its present form was nurtured by the absence of democratic rule in the Muslim world; the short-sighted and exploitative terms of engagement employed by the western powers to deal with Muslim majority countries, which included support to dictatorships, monarchies and oppressive rules; economic injustice meted out to the majority of the population in collaboration with comprador local elite and western corporations; and finally the issue of Palestine and the sentiment it broods across the Muslim world.

POPS'Muslim Massacre' video game (you couldn't make it up) article continues: But Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of The Ramadhan Foundation, Britain’s leading Muslim youth organisation, said that the game glamorised violence against Muslims whether or not it was satirical. “Encouraging children and young people in a game to kill Muslims is unacceptable, tasteless and deeply offensive,” he said. “There is an increase in violence in this country and some of it comes from video games. When kids spend six hours a day on violent games they are more likely to go outside and commit violence. “If it was the other way around, with a game featuring Muslims killing Israelis or Americans, there would be uproar and rightly so. “We would urge ISPs to take action against sites like this.” The game was first released in January this year, but has become more popular in recent days after being linked to by several prominent blogs.
