Zionists Swiftboat Ron Paul
2008-01-16 00:21:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The hard to find Russian neo-Nazi beheading video is on this blog here.I am running a rejoinder from Joachim Martillo on the latest Ron Paul attacks accusing him of racism, homophobia, etc. Although I have been running a lot of Ron Paul hit pieces myself, I figure his supporters deserve some equal time.In addition to this post, in another post, Martillo notes on his site that the local Jewish community near Cambridge, Massachusetts has discussed helping to fund some of the publications of the interesting anti-German movement in Germany, a movement we discussed on this blog here.Here is a nice article from an Israeli paper giving a fascinating overview of this Leftist, pro-Israeli movement.

Zionists Censor Rachel Corrie Play in Toronto but Political Art Prevails in

My Name is Rachel Corrie
2007-03-10 19:50:00 Next week March 16th is the fourth anniversary of the death of Rachel Corrie. Rachel was a 23 year old college student and human rights and peace activist from Olympia, Washington who on March 16, 2003 was run over and killed by an Israeli military bulldozer in Rafah, Gaza, while defending a Palestinian home from demolition. Rachel had been working with the International Solidarity Movement to protest Israeli actions in the occupied territories when she was killed in 2003. In a series of emails to her family Rachel described what she experienced in Gaza. These emails and letters were later published by The Guardian and provide a unique insight into life in that troubled region."My Name is Rachel Corrie" a play composed from Corrie's journals and e-mails from Gaza and directed by British actor Alan Rickman, was presented in London in early 2005. The play was also scheduled to open at the New York Theatre Workshop however due to political pressure, the play was ?postponed indefinite... |
