    19 May 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Man regards himself as harmless and so adds stupidity to his iniquity.” - Carl G. Jung
    Who suggested to President George W. Bush and Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that a Photo Op at Masada, on May 15, 2008, would enhance their personas?

It is located in the desert, near the Dead Sea—a place where 960 Jewish zealots—men, women and children—committed (…)

    ’Don’t ask for what you never had,’ is the underlying message made by supporters of Israel when they claim Palestine was never a state to begin with.
    The contention is, of course, easily refutable. Following the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th Century, colonial powers plotted to divide the spoils. When Britain and France signed the secretive Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916, which divided the spheres of influence in west Asia, (…)
