Some may be happy to learn that the US Senate didn’t pass the ‘anti BDS bill’ on Tuesday. But a look at the vote reveals that America’s politicians are fully removed from the American ethos of freedom. Fifty six  mostly Republican Senators, just 4 shy of the 60 needed to pass the bill, voted to enact a law contrary to the Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech as granted by the 1st amendment. The defeated bill included a provision to allow states and local governments to punish Americans who boycott Israel. This was an astonishing and nearly successful attempt  to legislate crude government interference with freedom of speech in its most protected form: political speech. The fact that such a bill made it to the floor of the Senate confirms that the American political establishment is an occupied zone committed to silencing opposition to Israel and its lobby.   Continue reading “Anti-BDS Bill Defeated”

Activists on and off the Interwebzzz are abuzz over Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian woman ever “elected” to Congress, blurting out that in regards to Trump, “we’re going to go in there and impeach that motherf&%&%r!” The level of sycophancy at this moment seems to be even bigger and more nauseating than the fawning just moments before this latest publicity stunt over her wearing a thobe. The declarations of “yassss! Queen! Slay!” and “what a courageous sister!” and “she’s so hardcore!” are at radioactive levels, really. Because of course, the end of Zio-Imperialism and the liberation of Palestine from Jewish terrorists run through the usurping ‘Israeli’ entity’s personal cheering section – the US Congress – and it’s going to come with twice the swiftness because a sellout politician threw on traditional Arab dress with traditional Palestinian embroidery, right? Please.  Continue reading “If House Arab Rashida Tlaib was Brave, She’d Say “Death to ‘Israel’!” and “Zion did 9/11”, Not “Impeach that Motherf****R!””

Back in 1885, to much fanfare, the General Act of the Berlin Conference launched the Scramble for Africa which saw the partition of the continent, formerly a loose aggregation of various tribes, into the countries that currently make up the southern continent, by the dominant superpowers (all of them European) of the day. Subsequently Africa was pillaged, plundered, and in most places, left for dead. The fact that a credit system reliant on petrodollars never managed to take hold only precipitated the “developed world” disappointment with Africa, no matter what various enlightened, humanitarian singer/writer/poet/visionaries claimed otherwise.   Continue reading “How China Colonized An Entire Continent Without Firing A Single Shot”

Ultra-Orthodox children of Ethiopian descent have been rejected in recent weeks by Talmud Torah schools in Jerusalem, on the grounds that dark-skinned children will “cause trauma” for their classmates. The Talmud Torah schools are a religious-educational framework for kindergarten and elementary students, and enjoy substantial annual budgets from the state.

While Ultra-Orthodox families can choose whether to send their children to these schools or a regular educational institution, many of those children rejected by Talmud Torah are forced to travel far to attend other schools where they are accepted.     Continue reading “State-funded religious schools reject black children who ‘will traumatize their classmates’”

Jews make up 2% of the US population, so Congress as a whole is more than thrice as Jewish as the country in general, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center on religion in the new Congress, which was inaugurated Thursday.  Continue reading “Congress is now three times as Jewish as the US is”

A high school that requires some students to wear ID badges announcing their failing grades is causing bullying and public ridicule, especially for students with learning disabilities, and has caused the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to step in.

Mingus Union High School in Cottonwood, Ariz., issues ID badges for all students to hang around their necks — freshmen and sophomores wear red-colored cards and juniors and seniors wear gray, both of which are school colors. “These are standard badges worn by students at schools across the nation issued in large part as identification in the case of a school shooting,” attorney Susan Segal, who is representing the school, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “At Mingus, older kids are allowed to leave campus for lunch, and their colored badges indicate their grade level to security guards.”    Continue reading “School policy forces kids with bad grades to wear special IDs: ‘Public ridicule,’ says ACLU”
