Mosque vandalized as settlers attack Palestinian village
More than 300 olive trees were uprooted and two cars set alight in the West Bank village of Hawara in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Stars of David and the word 'Mohammed,' as well as racist slogans, were also sprayed in Hebrew across the town, including on the walls of a mosque.
A military official told Army Radio that the army suspected settler violence against Palestinians, part of some settlers' policy of imposing a 'price tag' on a government order to freeze Israeli construction in the West Bank.

Those are settlers from the Yitzhar settlement, famous for it's fascistic rrabis and inhabitants..
<span>"We are talking about a hostile village that has been the source of a large number of violent attacks against the residents of Yitzhar."</span>
ReplyDeleteIs that true? Have the Palestinians attacked the settlement?
They might have, they might have not, but remember the price tag policy.. They're the initiators! Those people are special !
ReplyDeleteYitzhar settlement, its yeshiva and its rabbis!
Settler rabbi arrested over West Bank mosque arson
<span>
The yeshiva is behind the "price tag" policy whereby settlers have vowed to instigate actions against Palestinians in retaliation for the government's enforcement of a construction freeze in West Bank settlements. </span>

Settler Rabbi publishes “The complete guide to killing non-Jews”
The ultra-fundamentalist Od Yosef Hai yeshiva in the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar is infamous for its involvement in settler violence against Palestinians. Memorably, one of the students fired a homemade “Kassam” rocket at the neighboring village of Burin in June 2008. This morning, Maariv reports that the Yeshiva’s dean has just published on the proscribed dos and don’ts (mainly the former) regarding the killing of gentiles. Here are some choice excerpts.

An interesting piece by Chas Freeman:
ReplyDeleteOnly a bit over sixty percent of our military spending is in the Department of Defense budget, with the rest hidden like Easter eggs in the nooks and crannies of other federal departments and agencies’ budgets. If you put it all together, however, defense-related spending comes to about $1.2 trillion, or about eight percent of our GDP. That is quite a bit more than the figure usually cited, which is the mere $685 billion (or 4.6 percent of GDP) of our official defense budget. Altogether, we spend more on military power than the rest of the world — friend or foe — combined. (This way we can be sure we can defeat everyone in the world if they all gang up on us. Don’t laugh! If we are sufficiently obnoxious, we might just drive them to it.) No one questions this level of spending or asks what it is for. Politicians just tell us it is short of what we require. We have embraced the cult of the warrior. The defense budget is its totem.
<span>Thugs and criminals...and what is really disgusting is that they are probably getting some of their funding from people right here in the U.S. I am writing to my congressmen...again!</span>
ReplyDelete<span>All this should remind us that power, no matter how immense, is not by itself enough to ordain leadership. Power must be informed by vision, guided by wisdom, and embodied in strategy if it is to inspire companions and followers. We're a bit short of believers in our leadership these days, not just on the battlefields of West Asia but at global financial gatherings, the United Nations, meetings of the G-20, among human rights and environmental activists, in the world's regions, including our own hemisphere, and so forth. There are few places where we Americans still enjoy the credibility and command the deference we once did. A year or so ago, we decided that military means were not always the best way to solve problems and that having diplomatic allies could really help do so. But it isn't happening.
ReplyDeleteYes, very interesting, and there is a lot in here to agree with...especially the need to build up our civilian diplomatic corps.... with the exception of the great Ryan Crocker, and a few others, the State Department performance in Iraq and Afghanistan has been dismal. But Freeman repeats the same fallacy of many other "America in Decline" Cassandras: That the U.S. once was able to get its way on just about every issue. Please. Just reading the history of post-war dealings with DeGaulle should put paid to those notions! And France was considered an ally! A great deal of this loss of leadership and alleged deference was inevitable in a changing world.</span>
Thanks for that effort vza..
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Mara..Lomg time no see. It's true that I haven't been posting any economy stuff lately. If you have any suggestions please help with links.
ReplyDeleteI have been busy lately but may have a brief hiatus from work because of an impending strike. Although I haven't commented often, I do read your (as well as As'ad's) site. Sometimes it is just too depressing to read what Israel is able to get away with, so I don't linger. Don't worry about the economic news. However in our nic of the woods, this is the news:
ReplyDeleteThe Interamerican Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) issued its annual black list of countries that do not respect human rights. For the first time since 2006, a new country appears on the list, Honduras. The inclusion of Honduras is based on the report of the IACHR visit to the country last August. Chapter 4 of the report, which can be downloaded here, is an executive summary of the longer IACHR report on Human Rights and the Coup, issued in December, 2009. Compare that report with the rather sparse State Department report on Human Rights in Honduras.

ReplyDeleteLook at the faces of the country-folk that are interviewed: "Quien no comprende una mirada tampoco comprenderá una larga explicación."
By the way, the previous "guest" post was me.
