  • Does Iran Counter-balancing Israel bring Stability?

    I suppose being an Israeli nowadays is quite bleak. Warmongers dominate all politics in Israel, apparently, and normal relations with allies who are distant neighbors can be destructive for them - Georgia being such an example. I suppose it seems like increasing Israeli military actions throughout the region is the only solution to protecting ...

  • Oh and btw

    ..while I'm here telling you off...let me not FAIL to mention your headline Mr. Hitchcock. I mean, Hitchens. Declaring Gaza a moral failure before Palestine is even a state, before even this latest Crusade against Palestine and all of Islam is over....is a definite indicator of your true worth as a commentator.

The U.S. overthrow of Saddam and installation of the Iran friendly Shia in Iraq has drastically changed a Middle East ...

  • Israeli Fearmongering for Selfish Interests

    Apparent fearmongering to excite American sympathy and increased American 'aid' to Israel. This is a classic tactic: gain sympathetic action in support of Israel because of: 1)the Holocaust; or 2)Israel's a democracy; 3)The barbarian darkies are threatening to storm the gates of Westerners (Israelis) in the Holyland; 4)look, the barbarian Muslims ...

  • Bin Laden, Islam, and Numerology

    If you account for Leap Years, this coming Tuesday is the first Tuesday September 11th since Tuesday September 11th, 2001. Is there any significance to Tuesdays in General or do Islamic sects practice numerology as any part of their prescribed religious beliefs? One other significant number that comes to mind is that this is the sixth ...
