Secret KILL LIST or TARGETED KILLING policy?

changing names won't change reality

Obama´s enlightened rethoric turns into hyprocrisy if its to be measured by counterterrorism use of force. there´s no change from Bush doctrine on this matter, on the contrary, US drone attacks became more frequent and more deadly, but it sound better when said by a manipulator of crowds

Hamat Tiberias National Park threatened by haredim

What extremists make in the name of religion and for religion, unbelievable... this is especialy sad as its the family area, jews as my great-grandfather, Moshe Hitin, a rabbi, worshiped this land, prayed and kept it for centuries.. one of few sites where there were jews before the creation of the State of Israel.. how they dare?

it's easy to accuse Israel with illegal immigrants when Europe deports even brazilian tourists

Maybe its missing the word "illegal"? the fact that Israel lacks a proper law for refugees, doesn't mean that it has to accept anyone within its bothers. why refugees doesn't want to stay in Egypt? Why they go to Israel? Probably they expect a better treatment, especially from a State torned by wars, when the jewish people has been persecuted, exterminated.

Israel has to face it at least the same way other western states do, if it wants to be less criticized, it doesnt mean accepting all illegal immigrants and refugees but regulating the matter within a clear framework based upon western standards - not that enlightned.

Should Israel be responsible for immigrants?

We discuss why Israel is denying African immigrants their basic rights, as revealed in an annual US human rights report.

Tibet's occupation and China's zero tolerance policy

Self-immolation is not tantamount to terrorist acts, its shocking how far the chinese regime goes in order to silence those who oppose the occupation of Tibet, even if its not harming anyone else other then the victim. In a time when self-immolation prompted protests in Tunisia, starting all the Arab spring transition process, China is unwilling to tolerate any sort of resistence, even pacific ones, with tragic consequences for human beings, something at odds with chinese self-determination.

why not call it "holocaust area"?

call it polish sounds more like ignorance, but its a fact that it was build inside polish territory.. probably they regreted that after the war auschwitz didnot turn into a parking lot

by the way few places where jews were slaughtered remain intact - but all eastern europe and russia are historical sites of genocide of european Jewish heritage, including forests, collective graves, mobile gas cars... all this is so far from palestinian reality. from war crimes to genocide there is a huge difference.

No país que não tem pena de morte, assassinatos extrajudiciais são instituidos por agentes do próprio Estado, agindo em favor de interesses particulares

Parte dos efeitos colaterais da mensagem de impunidade para os crimes da ditadura:
alguns sempre estiveram acima da lei e essa situação é mantida em alguns setores, incluindo setores dentro da polícia militar

Dylan's music - poetry, resistence, criticism, a voice for our age

Don´t know why took so long to give him the medal, he is a living icon, his songs are not restricted to music world, Dylan reflects something that goes beyond american music. anyway, it is also music and its nice to see him next to the establishment

Even unilateral withdrawal won´t end occupation, Israel may desmantle the settlements but cannot trust palestinans that they wont bring heavy weapon to the border

there is no justification for settlements in occupied territories, but the security threat won´t vanish, Gaza became the biggest jail in the world, even without settlers..
and they insist in attacking Israel with primitive weapon that harm more themselves than the israelis
