Israel insists that Jerusalem is now an Open City as a city occupied by the Israeli military and surrounded by a concrete wall and barbed wire, but since it has come under Israeli occupation since 1967, Jerusalem has become the most closed city in the world. Billions of people, mainly Arabs and Muslims and anyone who is a critic of Israel's brutal occupation and rejection of peace, are banned by the Israeli government from entering the city. Even Palestinians born in the city, Christian and Muslim, are denied the right to pray at their religious shrines and only armed settlers, who train their children to kill Arabs, are allowed free access to the Holy City.

Israel is given a pass on the critical issue of nuclear weapons by the United States. That hypocrisy undermines the world's efforts to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons and places the Middle East in a dangerous situation. Israel should be forced to open it's nuclear weapons sites for inspection by the World body and the United States should end the hypocrisy of giving Israel a waiver from principle, morality and the international rule of law.

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.

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?
