Article. Why does Israel lie? Chris Hedges is truly worthy of our respect a former New York Times writer who has paid dearly to tell the truth. All governments lie, as I.F. Stone pointed out, including Israel and Hamas. But Israel engages in the kinds of jaw-dropping lies that characterize despotic and totalitarian regimes. It does not deform the truth; it inverts it. It routinely paints a picture for the outside world that is diametrically opposed to reality. And all of us reporters who have covered the occupied territories have run into Israel’s Alice-in-Wonderland narratives, which we dutifully insert into our stories—required under the rules of American journalism—although we know they are untrue.
***** nd. I am NOT certain that I ever thought to share this before: one of the reasons that I tattooed the core truths of sane human life on my face are because I expect to spend much of my life in prison. I expect that the state, and my fellow Americans, will do that because of my non violent rebellion against the status quo, and for a sane, humane, loving world. . And in prison I did not want them to be able to completely strip me of the ability to broadcast the core truths of human existence . Stop starving. Stop killing. Start loving. Wage love, or die.

Article. Abba and Hamas are responsible for the terrorist attack in Israel. Abbas and Hamas are not responsible, this is by Netanyahu's own hand. You cannot terrorize people for 67 years without expecting at least this response. The American revolutionaries responded to infinitely less with physical force.
The Atlantic headline. Hamas endorses massacre. This is a historical lie as you would hear from President Carter and major Jewish intellectuals. What is historical truth through this exact second, Israel is the massacre of Palestinians since well before its inception in 1947 through this very hour. Roughly 1 Palestinian is massacred by Israelis every day. A Palestinian was lynched yesterday by Israelis. That is this is kept out of the complicit US media makes it no less savage but rather more so, infinitely more cruel, infinitely more horrible, infinitely more sadistic .
Merchant action required. Link provided. Immediately email secretary Duncan to not sensor pro Palestinian activities in federally funded schools. Do this and get everyone you know to do the same or know with certainty you are handing a destroyed democracy to your next seven generations and a police state as well.
pic. 19 degree wind chill here on Capitol Hill. On post since 9 a.m.. A group walked past me and 1 male in a skull cap said, your signs are strange with disgust and hostility, Palestine launched a terrorist attack on Israel just today. I shouted in reply, so all on the hill could hear, Israel does worse to Palestine every hour of every day since 1947! This is the historical fact. And you must scream this back truthfully, honestly, with outrage, and respect, every time you too are confronted on such things.

nd. No archeological evidence has been found to support the Book of Exodus[3] and most archaeologists have abandoned the investigation of Moses and the Exodus as "a fruitless pursuit"

nd. I do not think it is very helpful to anyone when every conspiracy theory that comes along is passed along to distract others from what information is most important, credible, scholarly and actionable. Doing so does not really take much integrity, intelligence, thought, or caring for others. Maybe those who do so are so brilliant that they understand in depth every of the many issues they send such garbage out on, but I doubt that they are really that right. I think that usually they just like attention and excitement and don't care who it hurts. Just being honest. If the shoe does not fit please do not wear it.

Article. 700 prominent Israelis call for European Parliament to recognize Palestine. We the undersigned, Citizens of Israel who wish it to be a safe and thriving country, are worried by the continued political stalemate and by the occupation and settlements activities which lead to further confrontations with the Palestinians and torpedo the chances for a compromise. It is clear that the prospects for Israel’s security and existence depend on the existence of a Palestinian state side by side with Israel. Israel should recognize the state of Palestine and Palestine should recognize the state of Israel, based on the June 4 1967 borders. Your initiative for recognizing the state of Palestine will advance the prospects of peace and will encourage Israelis and Palestinians to bring an end to their conflict

Article. Norwegian Dr Gilbert says he will return to Palestine despite Israeli lifetime ban. “The first precondition for the recent ceasefire was to ease the siege,” he said. “It has not been eased. This attempt to stop medical personnel entering Gaza is a tightening of the siege – this, again, is totally unacceptable.”
nd. Israel is not a democracy anymore than the old South in the United States was a democracy. It is at best an ethnocracy.

nd. It does not take much skill, intellect, integrity, courage, or serious intent to send around every conspiracy theory that passes by. In fact people who do so are great friends to those who do not want us to focus on the really important things.
