It really puzzles me, how the Israelis always say they want "peace" yet at the same time they want to cut up the West Bank (Palestinian land) and have the Palestinians go along with it as if nothing was happening to them. I go to college in an area of California where zionist influence is strong (Dr. Finkelstein came to my school to give a few lectures back in February and the students were all upset about it, as if they want the rest of the student body to be sheep living in the Matrix). The thing I wish more people would pay attention to is the ruling of the International Court mentioned in this post. All the settlements in the West Bank are illegal, yet the zionists keep trying to say BS like, "Oh, we have such a small piece of land, we absolutely NEED more!". That's pure FDA approved cow shit patties. (I guess if you give a mouse a cookie he'll want some milk, if you know what I mean.) And another thing, I mentioned that I go to school where zionist influence is strong, right? Well, that's because so many Israelis are leaving Israel and moving to southern California. So, if that's the case, and so many Israelis are moving out, why do they keep insisting that they "need" more land? The whole thing is flat out disgusting.<BR/><BR/>Peace (the authentic kind),<BR/><BR/>Julia P.Julia Riber Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006439247714055292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725411122663433189.post-67242092830240870372008-02-16T03:10:00.000-08:002008-02-16T03:10:00.000-08:00Thanks, marlene.Some discussion at the next post.J...Thanks, marlene.<BR/><BR/>Some discussion at the next post.<BR/><BR/>JohnJohn Hilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072819649049077782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725411122663433189.post-59251372792627422552008-02-11T12:30:00.000-08:002008-02-11T12:30:00.000-08:00The programme about Hamas was depressing. Did you ...The programme about Hamas was depressing. Did you watch it? Imagine living in such oppressive circumstances both from inside as well as Israel.<BR/><BR/>Have you been following the American presidential election? Many aspects of the campaign are nauseating especially the big rally’s but the situation between H.Clinton and Obama has obviously gripped the nation. I think if she wins she will need to keep him as her depute to keep on board all the black voters who have gone to the polls for the first time. If he wins he should ditch her he would get on better without her and Bill.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if it will really make a difference as to how the USA engages with the rest of the world.<BR/><BR/>Very clever I remember that song. I think I also read some of that book but gave up.<BR/><BR/>Oh how predictable “Thatcher” is always dragged out the closet when women suggest they would be better in government. Never mind the endless examples of male dictators who committed genocide in the name of order and control.<BR/><BR/> Thatcher was living in a mans world and tried to become a man to survive and compete<BR/><BR/>Well maybe women are more deadly. That must be why men (generalising) put so much effort into making sure women don’t get too much power in case we - take over!!<BR/><BR/>I was just looking at a news article on the four masterpieces which were stolen. That would be my chosen profession if I could start again an art thief. What would you do?<BR/><BR/>Will now return to essay at handmarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697216727377115889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725411122663433189.post-17474989575316276232008-02-08T17:43:00.000-08:002008-02-08T17:43:00.000-08:00Glad you found the piece and Finkelstein's lecture...Glad you found the piece and Finkelstein's lectures useful. <BR/><BR/>Remember that while Israel is seemingly determined to maintain the Occupation, it can't remain immune forever from the gathering pressure – internal and external. <BR/><BR/>What a spoiler you are keeping me back from the creative essays - castigating us cerebrally-limited males, in the process! <BR/><BR/>And there was me trying to forget what I'd read in geneticist Steve Jones's fine but dispiriting book, 'Y: the Descent of Men' about the evolutionary decline of the male.<BR/>http://www.human-nature.com/nibbs/03/sjones.html<BR/><BR/>I agree pretty much with what you say about the finer qualities of females. However, I've only one word of warning to offer about gender generalisations: Thatcher. <BR/><BR/>As the song line goes: “The female of the species is more deadly than the male. Shock, shock, horror, horror, shock, shock horror....”<BR/><BR/>I've no idea who the above interloper is, just in case you think my 'creative activities' involve such dodgy liaisons.<BR/><BR/>Smiles,<BR/><BR/>JohnJohn Hilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072819649049077782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725411122663433189.post-70361304987950621082008-02-06T12:54:00.000-08:002008-02-06T12:54:00.000-08:00I liked this article much more accessible than oth...I liked this article much more accessible than others for the average human being.I wish the solution was that easy.I suppose it would be the same as saying aparteid in South Africa was simple,give back what you took away.but isnt that that the part that seems impossible to resolve <BR/>Israel will never share that territory.whatever relaxation they offer palestine will cause them more problems.The link to Finkelstin was very interesting.<BR/>The creative problem solving essay is complete without your help. I know men find it difficult to think with the right side of their brain which means you would have been of limited use anyway.In fact i think that is the root cause of most conflict and distress in the world.The inability of men to think creatively. Anyway I have move on to the next essay which is on a similar theme but you apply it to an organisation rather than a single isse. I know its interesting but i am not letting you help me. There is a good programme on this week about Hamas cant remember which day look out for it. Is the other message genuine i clicked on the link doesnt look like your sort of thing. Must get on with my essay, no offers of help please I do not want to offend by refusing.<BR/><BR/>Take caremarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10232564817804521828noreply@blogger.com
