The 'real' American Sniper: Chris Kyle, a US navy Seal from Texas, was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and claimed to have killed more than 255 people during his six-year military career. In his memoir, Kyle reportedly described killing as “fun”, something he “loved”; he was unwavering in his belief that everyone he shot was a “bad guy”. “I hate the damn savages,” he wrote. “I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the Iraqis.” He bragged about murdering looters during Hurricane Katrina.

“US under Obama has killed more people with drones than died on 9/11. Many of those killed were civilians, and only a tiny percentage of the dead were al-Qaeda or Taliban leaders.” She may be right … The Council on Foreign Relations estimates that U.S. drone strikes outside of Iraq and Afghanistan have killed 3,674 people. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports that up to 4,404 people have been killed – just in Pakistan and Yemen alone – between 2004 and 2014.

Derek Flood: The fact is, both in Judaism and Christianity, the way of faithful questioning has always been a minority voice, a voice of protest from the margins. This voice can be heard in the Hebrew prophets, and it can be heard in Jesus, but the majority voice of unquestioning obedience can certainly also be found in the multi-vocal Bible as well. This is the voice that says with hellfire and brimstone "obey without question or face God's wrath!" It is the voice of religious violence, thundering down with absolute certainty.

Vid. Carl Bernstein is perhaps the most famous and respected journalist in the USA, and here he says exactly what I have said since before the Iraq War, that it was a war created by the Jewish Zionists for Israel not for the United States. This invasion and mass murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent people was based on lies, and we in America have paid the Zionist control over our government and media with our treasure and our blood. And we pay for it with hatred and attacks against America because these bloody Zionist Wars!

***** ‘It is time to make it costly for Palestinians,’ Ross warns in NYT; and readers reject his argument

1.05.2015

I feel not the slightest sadness over this. The bratty trust-fund kid of a millionaire Manhattan hedge-fund founder killed his dad because the old man had just cut his monthly allowance — by $200, law enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.

A senior Israeli official said on Sunday Jerusalem would be contacting pro-Israel members of the U.S. Congress to ensure the enforcement of legislation stipulating that if the Palestinians initiate any action against Israel at the ICC, the State Department would have to stop American aid to the PA, which comes to some $400 million annually. The stop-gap funding bill was passed in Congress last month. Both houses of the new Congress to be seated later this month will be controlled by the Republican Party, with many key positions filled by senators and representatives who are pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian. The law regarding the Palestinians initiating action at the ICC is strongly worded and states that President Barack Obama cannot waive a decision to halt aid to the PA.

***** vid. ALI ABUNIMAH: Good morning, Amy. Like many people, I was very relieved that the resolution failed. That might surprise some of your viewers, but the devil is in the detail. This was a very bad resolution, written by the Palestinian Authority without any support from any other Palestinian factions. It’s been condemned by Palestinian political figures and legal experts, because in an attempt to avoid the American veto, it undercut and undermined and watered down very fundamental Palestinian rights. And if this resolution had passed, it would have superseded existing resolutions which are far stronger.

Obama: If you are in impoverished India, and there is a rogue elephant trampling the villiages, and there is no means of killing the elephant, but there is the possiblility of a great rider getting on it's back, and steering it, a little bit, to reduce the killing... that was the choice of Barack Obama. What he miscalculated was: 1. The amount of evil in an around the elephant... using the elephant exactly to kill people on purpose (Zionism is the prime example); and 2. That his fellow villiagers would be LESS than useless, not only doing nothing to help, but attacking HIM for what the Elephant is doing!

LOVING is my God.  I will have no other.  Your kind words mean a great deal to me.  Thank you for sharing them with me.  My journey is very solitary... almost none wish to walk the road I travel... so it is particularly nice when I get encouraging words."

A respected, Muslim, FB friend: "Why do you always mention the un friending thingy???" My reply: "I mention the unfriending thingy as a duty as I make the choice to speak the Truth unvarnished as I do. I cannot do one without the other. I cannot build a fire in the fireplace if I do not make sure that the exits are clearly marked and clearly known." She further commented: "You have to understand how other cultures live their lives." My reply: "I 'want' to know how other cultures live their lives, but as a mortal, I'll never do more than scratch the surface on this. For the last hour I've been studying Islam. But, the Creator has no culture - not eastern or western, not north or south, not christian or muslim... and it is the Creator I am concerned with above all, and that portion of the Creator within us... that knows none of our foolish human boundaries." Finally she said: "If you see we must not be connected then unfriend me" My reply: "And if, to protect you, or out of some other consideration I judge I should unfriend you, I will not hesitate to do so."

***** (2012 article): Every year, somewhere between US$200 billion and $1 trillion are spent in “mandatory” alms and voluntary charity across the Muslim world, Islamic financial analysts estimate. At the low end of the estimate, this is 15 times more than global humanitarian aid contributions* in 2011.

nd. I've been following a 'feeling' for most of my life, but yesterday I 'saw' what I had been feeling. It was a piece by Amy Goodman, the first ever interview, of the young, blond, pretty, lawyer who blew the whistle on a major NYC bank resulting in a $9b settlement. You should find, and watch, the segment. I don't recall her words, but when asked why she risked all (can you imagine taking on one of these consummately evil monsters? The Courage? A smart, educated, pretty... young woman in NYC???? I don't know if I can)... it was obvious from her words, humble, simple, self-effacing... THAT SHE IS OF, BY, AND FOR... A DIFFERENT WORLD, A DIFFERENT REALM, THE REALM OF GOODNESS, JUSTICE, LOVING. I am NOT saying that SHE sees this, but to me, for the first time every, I think, I could SEE that this is what is going on. It is the same for me, has been for many many years... trying to be born my entire life... but only watching this segment was it so 'clear' I could 'see' it.

FB post to a Muslim sister for whom I have considerable respect, and from whose posts I profit: "I NEVER do anything to be 'disrespectful,' including making comments or posts that maybe directly conflict with the views of others. And I only bother commenting on the posts of the very few other people for whom I have considerable respect, such as you; or to whom I feel an obligation to comment. I believe we are at a point in history where our 'polite' shaving of the Truths as we see them, is doom. When I lose 'friends' as a consequence of speaking the Truth unvarnished as I understand it, at all costs (lost a 'friend' yesterday over this) I feel deep sadness and loss, but my respect and Love for the other person is never reduced. And I am relieved when those who find it too painful to travel near me, drop off, and so protect themselves."

No offense, but with so much suffering in the world, I don't want to know what gym you belong to, what restaurants you go to what kind of car you drive, what organizations you belong to, what your culture or background is, or most importantly what religion you have. Show us how humane you are, how loving, how embracing of all humanity, of all creation. Then I will know your true religion and may ask you how you regained your humanity. Only at that point might I be interested in hearing about your religion.

nd. How slowly I learn. Smh. Like all highly creative and productive people I am at least mildly manic depressive. When I undergo surgery as I did most recently two and a half weeks ago, I anticipate this rapid recovery. The opposite happens. My body demanded another 13 hours of sleep, so far, today. Smh. Depression is highly adaptive. It is nature's mechanism of slowing down the creature so that healing and renewed growth can happen. It is painful. It is distressing. It is frightening. But if it is not wallowed in, not disrespected, it does an amazing amount of wonderful work. I feel my body beginning to rebound and my psychology as well, with huge up-and-down swings.

Palestine requests joining fee International Criminal Court system. Israel is horrified. Why is Israel afraid of the law?

activist Manal Al Tamimi was arrested today in Al Nabi Saleh while, she and her family were coming back from working on Ramallah. Manal, her Husband Belal, their son Osama, and Marwan, Belal's brother, were arrested by the israeli soldier's argument they were entering to the village. But they know that, Tamimi's family are an strong activists on this village

86 Israeli Attacks on Islamic and Christian Holy Sites in 2014

It saddens me to see that other people’s wishes for the New Year are so different from what so many Palestinians would even consider possible. Why? Why can’t we dream of things other than having a year without another bloody war with Israel, having 24/7-electricity, and having the freedom to travel abroad? Why can’t Gazans just have a normal life? Why can’t we enjoy a festive beginning to the New Year as all other people around the world do? My heart aches, what I and other Gazans call wishes are what the rest of the world calls rights!

nd. You know, I've been having chest pains the last few days. I think it is nothing. Feels like what I had about 8 months ago, and a night in the hospital being tested said: 1. you are right to come in with these symptoms; 2. come in again if you have them again; 3. but right now, there is nothing bad going on with your heart. Well, if I don't wake up tomorrow, or sometime, I'm ok with that. Read my blog postings of the last day or so. Every day teaches me that what we've made of the world is more horrible than I realized yesterday. But if I do wake up tomorrow, as I expect to, I'll do the one thing that makes life bearable - devote every breath to the global neediest.

Rabbis for Human Rights: Israeli Channel 2 news last night exposed recordings of racist death threats made to RHR's Palestinian field worker, Zacharia Sada: "We will murder you and all your family," "your life is finished," "you are not a person," "you are inferior," "shut up when I'm talking to you" - these are just some of the gems said by the anonymous caller to Zacharia. It is very sad to see such young boys brainwashed and controlled by a theory of racial hatred that distorts and blasphemies Judaism. President and Senior Rabbi of Rabbis for Human Rights, Rabbi Arik Asherman also received similar threats against himself and his family. The threats came in the wake of assistance we gave a Palestinian farmer named Fawzi Ibrahim against extremists from the Esh Kodesh outpost who harass him when he tries to work his land. Unfortunately, the security forces rarely allow him to enter his lands and have admitted to restricting him because they lacked the security forces needed to protect him from the extremists of Esh Kodesh. Despite the threats, Rabbis for Human RIghts will continue to fight for human rights in light of Judaism without fear. To watch the full report (Hebrew) --> http://bit.ly/1xwyVI9

A ‪#‎Jewish‬ man and his girl friend gets jumped and beaten by some racist thugs and no body comes to their rescue except a ‪#‎Muslim‬. This is because ‪#‎Islam‬ calls us to stand against any form of injustice and to help those who need help.

The Quranic standards of justice transcend considerations of race, religion, color, and creed, as Muslims are commanded to be just to their friends and foes alike, and to be just at all levels, as the ‪#‎Quran‬ puts it:

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah(God), even if it be against yourselves, your parents, and your relatives, or whether it is against the rich or the poor...” (Quran 4:135)

According to another Quranic passage:

“Let not the hatred of a people swerve you away from justice. Be just, for this is closest to righteousness…” (Quran 5:8)

With regards to relations with non-Muslims, the Quran further states:

“God does not forbid you from doing good and being just to those who have neither fought you over your faith nor evicted you from your homes...” (Quran 60:8)

Ilan Baruch, former Ambassador of Israel to South Africa: Over the past two decades, Israel has dictated the terms of negotiations to both the Palestinians and the Americans: it must be done in bilateral channels, and aside from the Israelis and Palestinians, only the United States can take part in the process as a facilitator. This has resulted in distorted power dynamics in the negotiation room: the Palestinians have nothing to offer, while the Netanyahu government isn’t interested in the “two states for two peoples” solution based on 1967 borders. This situation must fundamentally change, and the upcoming elections provide a good opportunity to sharpen the message. Israeli-Palestinian relations do not solely belong to Israel. The world has a right and an obligation to intervene. The Americans must clarify that the lack of a breakthrough will lead to a complete deterioration in Israel’s international standing. Israel’s allies must force it to return to the table so that it can reconfigure its strategic interests. The Palestinians’ failure to garner a strong majority to support its resolution brings us to another reconfiguration. As Israel gears up for the elections, the United States and Europe must make clear the price Israeli will pay without a real peace process, as well as what it stands to gain from making peace.....
