So sit there and take the missiles quietly? No thanks. This is easy to say for those who aren't being bombarded; but if the bombardment happens day after day, month after month, year after year... No thanks.

Re: Palestine: from the fall of the Ottomans to Today

No, you confuse it with phallic . Truth as well as lie are both expressions of power, but different routes. To wield and to strive to be open and honest about it is manly, to continuously gravitate to wielding it in secret is womanly . Are you suggesting that honesty and openness are phallic? That ...

Re: Killing non-Jews vital for Israel's future

While it is true that Gandhi was murdered, it is also true that he accomplished quite a bit. Indeed. However, there are extremely few Gandhis, men and women who are willing to lay their life on the line for their pacifist convictions, rather than merely claim those convictions. On the other hand, p...

Re: GAZA: PRAISE THE DEAD, CURSE THEIR KILLERS

I propose that we from now on refer to Ehud Barak as Barak the Butcher. Let this stain whatever legacy he hopes to have for himself. Keep in mind this is a man who donned a woman's dress in order to assassinate his first terrorist in Lebanon. Mazel tov Ehud, you no longer wear a dress when you kill...

Re: Palestine: from the fall of the Ottomans to Today

I believe that what I am saying or describing is something about 'power and how power operates'.

Oh, so THAT is where the suicidal-bomber mentality comes from. In part, yes. Note, however, that revenge is only good in moderation -- and only against the actual guilty parties. Too much revenge, like too much anything, it a major problem, and misdirected revenge completely loses its point. Suicid...

"Be intolerant to the intolerant'...I like the sound of it. As much as we humanistically repudiate the "eye for an eye" mentality, the fact is that the desire for revenge is hard-wired into us, and for a very good reason -- it's one of the things which makes society possible. Study a...

Obama has come to take the reins of power for our sins. The slashing wind has opened veins of our mourning kin. What have we done, whom we betrayed to merit such a fate?

I suggest 130. That will leave my entire family in the clear, so we will have a much better shot as being the ultimate overlords; though a tighter competition too.

They probably see it as justified, armed resistance against a declaration of an illegal state at the cost of the rights of a large ethic and cultural group. There you go. And israelis see this vie...
