Mr. Israeli P.M., and Mr. O. and Congress,

But . . .… Read full post »

As so often happens – what is spoken and heard is the pain, violence, wants, proposed solutions, etc...

Here it is – as I see it –

Israel/Palestine - the REAL problem...

It's that time of year again -

Israel “culling” it's Gaza citizens – you could call it – a zionist ritual – in the name of “self defense”.

I'm certain, at this moment, most Palestinian People, as well as many others around the world are – really angry… Read full post »

Healthful  EconomieSSS!

The u.s. style economy - a few people create money out of nothing and demand more than they create, more than exists, in return - is a cancer that destroys not only as Robert Kennedy mentioned - everything that makes life worth living...

Anyone else get the impression we're living in an – upside down – world?

We can have it... if enough people want it.

Some people will automatically start screaming - socialism, that's bad, it doesn't work, etc., etc., etc.

I will not disagree with them.

Living in the White House must bring about difficult decisions...

Once again there is a flotilla attempting to get humanitarian aid through to the people o… Read full post »

First let me explain - governments, including but not limited to the U. S. and Israel are fictions. When I anthropomorphise thses fictions, I really mean - the administrations, those that make laws for others, The Establishment.

They have varying levels of support, or not, from those whose money… Read full post »

Has "humanity' really changed over the millennium???

There are those for whom the game is "power over" others, and there are others for whom the game is "power with" others.

Most people continue to play on the side of "power over", believing they can be on "the winning… Read full post »

Thank you Mr. Burston!

I get so sick and tired of hearing "peace activists" and the white house resident with comments to the effect of...

To really state their views, to stand naked before the world and… Read full post »

Either:

Israel continue to deny citizenship to the natives it governs in the West Bank and Gaza and in good Orwellian language continue to tell itself it is a Jewish democracy surrounded by enemies who want to destroy it

or

Israel looks in the mirror and realizes the… Read full post »

When I think of it, I find it completely, totally, AMAZING!

Many Jewish People and Palestinian People, I would guess, share one common idea, promoted by the U.S. current and previous administrations, and of course main stream media - at least in the U.S.

They share the common vision of "their own" country.

I can understand why for many… Read full post »

As I mentioned in another post...

I am NOT pro-Israel, Arab, Jewish, Muslim, or any other race or religion!

Due to my genetics, family and life experiences, I've come to the conclusion - what is important is NOT race or religion, but connection, the individual.  (I know, there are… Read full post »
