One man's terror street is another man's freedom fighter street. Israelis are angry because the Palestinians in Ramallah have named a street after an alleged terrorist who fought against Israel's brutal military occupation and oppression, Yahya Aiyash. Of course, Israelis are hypocrites when it comes to terrorism and are the biggest hypocrites of all when defending their own leaders who used terrorism like the arch terrorist of all time Menachem Begin who murdered 100 civilians in cold blood in 1947 at Deir Yassin to make a point. And then there was his terrorist pal  Yitzhak Shamir, another cold blooded terrorist killer, and his disciple Ariel Sharon, another cold blooded terrorist murderer. And all of them have streets named in their honor all over Israel. I guess it is okay when the terrorists are Israeli.

Israel ordered mass evictions from the West Bank this week, but not of Israeli settlers from annexed and stolen lands, but Christians and Muslims living in the West Bank. It's a part of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to "create" a Palestinian State -- without any Palestinians in it.

White Terrorists: The Worst Kind, 03-30-10

All of the suspects are White and Christian militants, or "home grown" terrorists espousing extremist and violent views. But no one has yet suggested that the airports start profiling White people or Christians in order to nab these terrorists. These terrorists are with the Hutaree, which sounds more threatening than al-Qaeda.

CNN: Nine people federal prosecutors say belong to a "Christian warrior" militia were accused Monday of plotting to kill a Michigan law enforcement officer and then attack other police at the funeral. Six Michigan residents, two residents of Ohio and an Indiana resident were indicted by a federal grand jury in Detroit, Michigan, on charges of seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, U.S. Attorney Barbara L. McQuade and FBI Special Agent in Charge Andrew Arena announced. All but one of the suspects -- Joshua Matthew Stone, the 21-year-old son of the militia's leader -- were in custody by Monday morning and seven of them made their initial appearances before U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald A. Scheer, prosecutors said. Read more?

Israelis blast New Israel Fund over Goldstone Report of War Crimes by Israel in Gaza Strip

Click cartoon to view larger image

Extremists on Israel's far right have attacked the New Israel Fund for its ties to pro-israeli organizations that have supported investigating the war crimes charges by by the United Nation's special investigator Richard Goldstone in his report, the Goldstone Report. The extremists have used Nazi-era images to demonize the NIF which supports peace, two-states and an end to violence, and the NIF has come under increasing attacks by Israeli society. The biggest complaint is not that the Goldstone Report's conclusions that some in Israel's military intentionally murdered Palestinian women and children during the brutal and oppressive Israeli military assault on the Gaza Strip last year, but rather that they supported the charges that the war crimes should be investigated.

Israel embarrasses Turkish ambassador, but it could have been worse

Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, following in the racist practices of his boss Avigdor Lieberman, used his usual style of ridicule and shame to embarrass the Ambassador of Turkey, a nation that has been a close military ally of Israels, the only in the region.

Turkey responded by withdrawing their ambassador, protesting Israel's brutal treatment of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip -- their first strong protest about the carnage in Gaza in over a year, and questioned Israel's policies towards non-Jews.

Lierbeman refused to apologize but moderate elements in the Israeli Government recognized the mistake and immediately flew to Turkey to apologize. But the damn is broken by the damned. And it won't be fixed too soon.

Maybe Avigdor Lieberman is a good thing after all.

Protests? Protests/ Protests where?

Bias in the Mainstream News media. Oppression by government troops against civilians in Iran is big news and even President Obama speaks out.

But government oppression against Palestinians by Israel's government is ignored. What is and what isn't news? What the biased mainstream American news media decides is and isn't news.

Senator Joe Lieberman's hypocrisy when it comes to Americans versus Israel

US Senator Joe Lieberman who is considered the Senate champion for Israel and steers billions of dollars in US tax dollars in aid to Israel each year, says that Americans can't have government sponsored healthcare, because it costs too much money in tax dollars for Americans. But he has no problem supporting government sponsored healthcare for Israelis, paid for by the American taxpayers.  It's not about Israel. It is about Lieberman's hypocrisy.
