It is impossible not to feel exhilaration when masses of oppressed and hungry people break down the wall that is shutting them in, their eyes radiant, embracing everybody they meet – to feel so even when it is your own government that erected the wall in the first place.

The Gaza Strip is the largest prison on earth. The breaking of the Rafah wall was an act of liberation. It proves that an inhuman policy is always a stupid policy: no power can stand up against a mass of people that has crossed the border of despair. Continue reading →

Israel plans to build about 740 new homes next year on occupied land near Jerusalem, the construction ministry said on Sunday, despite Palestinian calls for a total settlement freeze.

“An American said the other day ” I think they should hurry up and create a Palestinian state so we can invade it and occupy it”

Anyone who wants to understand what has (or has not) happened at Annapolis will find the answer in this fact: the dogs did not bark. The settlers and their friends were keeping quiet, did not panic, did not get excited, did not distribute posters of Olmert in SS uniform (as they had done with Rabin after Oslo). All in all, they contented themselves with the obligatory prayer at the Western Wall and a smallish demonstration near the Prime Minister’s residence. This means that they were not worried.

And this comment from a reader: “Arabs are so stupid they believe God speaks Arab and that it is God’s command that a man beats his wife with a toothbrush if she is disobedient etc. All because some holy man 1400 years ago claimed to be speaking on behalf of God. In fact it is God’s will that the Jews and the Christians punish Muslims for this kind of stupidity.
