Don't you ever get tired of the same old propoganda? Try finding a reputable publication instead of these trash web sites. You've never taken that challenge because you know that real, reputable journalists wouldn't write the garbage that you post. The people on this site are far too educated to believe your junk. That is why they are still laughing at you.

Poor Edmar, trying to cover up zionist crimes against humanity by suppressing the truth through character asassination opf messengers who tell the truth about zionism. How about Oxford University for a good description of the zionist ethnic cleansing crimes.

Palestinian displacement: a case apart?
... The great majority of the seven million Palestinian refugees still live within 100km of the borders of Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip where their homes of origin are located. They are refugees because Israel â;; committed to a permanent Jewish majority and granting citizenship to any member of the Jewish diaspora â;; denies Palestinians their basic human right to return to their homes of origin. Palestinians may be the world's largest refugee population, yet...

I do not laugh at 'hyperbola'. No more than I would laugh at a mad dog sitting in a cage.
The poor thing barks histerically but no one takes it seriously and the cage (the cyberspace, in this case) prevents it from causing bodily damage to others. This cybercage even allows us to block the barking...

Poor thinker. No rational excuses for zionist crimes against humanity, so down to slander. Time for americans to start listening to real American jews instead of zionist pseudo-jews who may or may not be Americans. Like this one.
The End Of Israel?
By Hannah Mermelstein
I am feeling optimistic about Palestine.
I know it sounds crazy. How can I use "optimistic" and "Palestine" in the same sentence when conditions on the ground only seem to get worse? ...
...yet I dare to say that I am optimistic. Why? Ehud Olmert. Let me clarify. Better yet, let's let him clarify:
"The day will come when the two-state solution collapses, and we face a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights. As soon as that happens, the state of Israel is finished."

That's right, the Prime Minister of Israel is currently trying to negotiate a "two-state solution" specifically because he realizes that if he doesn't, Palestinians might begin to demand, en masse, equal rights to Israelis. Furthermore, he worries, the world might begin to see Israel as an apartheid state. In actuality, most of the world already sees Israel this way, but Olmert is worried that even Israel's most ardent supporters will begin to catch up with the rest of the world.
...I am optimistic not because ethnic cleansing and apartheid in Israel/Palestine is going to end tomorrow, but because I can feel the ideology behind these policies beginning to collapse. For years the true meaning of political Zionism has been as ignored. And suddenly it is beginning to break open. Olmert's comments are reminiscent of those of early Zionist leaders who talked openly of transfer and ethnic cleansing in order to create an artificial Jewish majority in historic Palestine.

...So this idea of a "two-state solution" a la Olmert -- which provides neither a "state" nor a "solution" for the Palestinian people -- is the new transfer...
..So why am I optimistic? Why do I think Olmert will fail, if not in the short term, at least in the long term? There are many signs.
..So when Olmert warns that we will "face a South African-style struggle for equal voting rights" and that "the state of Israel [will be] finished," I get a little flutter of excitement. I think of the 171 Palestinian organizations who have called on the international community to begin campaigns of boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel until Israel complies with international law.

This is already a South African-style struggle, and we outside of Palestine need to do our part. Especially those of us in the US, the country that gives Israel more than $10 million every single day, must take responsibility for the atrocities committed in our name and with our money.
..Ultimately, this is our role as Americans. It is to begin campaigns in our churches, synagogues, mosques, universities, cities, unions, etc. It is not to broker false negotiations between occupier and occupied, and it is not to muse over solutions the way I have above. But one can dream. And as a Jewish-American, I know that while it might be scary to some, while it will require a lot of imagination, the end of Israel as a Jewish state could mean the beginning of democracy, human rights, and some semblance of justice in a land that has almost forgotten what that means.

(Hannah Mermelstein is co-founder and co-director of Birthright Unplugged, which takes mostly Jewish North American people into the West Bank to meet with Palestinian people and to equip them to return to their own communities and work for justice; and takes Palestinian children from refugee camps to Jerusalem, the sea, and the villages their grandparents fled in 1948, and supports them to document their experiences and create photography exhibits to share with their communities and with the world.)
