There has been a lot of debate over the years as to the accuracy of comparing what is happening to Palestinians in Gaza to what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany during the 1930’s. How legitimate is this comparison? The latest remarks made by Matan Vilnai, the Deputy Defence Minister of Israel, and Ehud Barak, the Defence Minister of Israel, should answer this question once and for all.
To be able to put the present situation into context, we must first go back to Germany during 9 (…)

Noam Chomsky : Why Isn’t Iraq in the 2008 Election?
3 March 2008The following speech, transcribed by Democracy Now!, was delivered by Chomsky in Massachussetts at an event sponsored by Bikes Not Bombs.
Not very long ago, as you all recall, it was taken for granted that the Iraq war would be the central issue in the 2008 election, as it was in the midterm election two years ago. However, it’s virtually disappeared off the radar screen, which has solicited some puzzlement among the punditry.
Actually, the reason is not very obscure. It was cogently (…) -
Operation Canned Goods
3 March 2008Operation Canned Goods By David Glenn Cox History is written by the victors, that much is true. Not only are the valiant deeds of the victors made public but the crimes of the vanquished as well. The Spanish American War was predicated on the premise that Spanish radicals had planted explosives on the American battleship, USS Maine. The American ambassador described the negotiations, in his diary of that day, as going well and exceptional progress being made. But with the death of the (…)

I know! Let’s Rape Grandma!
1 March 2008I Know! Let’s Rape Grandma! By David Glenn Cox
With the current subprime crisis, most lenders don’t sleep well at night. For years they lived an idyllic life style, lending out a dollar and getting back a buck and a quarter. Come in late and leave early; only a pimp had it better. But bankers never had to contend with the cops or wayward hookers. Like a drug dealer they just stood on the corner and waited for the suckers to come to them.
Not that bankers don’t do good things for a (…) -

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A senior Israeli official warned Palestinians in Gaza on Friday they risked a "shoah" if rocket fire continued, using the Hebrew term for holocaust as the Jewish state contemplated invading the Hamas-run enclave.
Aides rushed to insist the deputy defense minister had meant the word only in its alternative meaning as a general disaster.
But the strength of the language reflected Israel’s anger over the recent rocket fire. (…) -
Israeli minister warns of Holocaust for Gaza if violence continues
1 March 2008by Rory McCarthy in Jerusalem
Israel’s deputy defence minister yesterday warned his country was close to launching a huge military operation in Gaza and said Palestinians would bring on themselves a "bigger shoah," using the Hebrew word usually reserved for the Holocaust.
The choice of vocabulary from Matan Vilnai, an often outspoken former army general, was unusually grave - the word is not normally used for anything other than the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews.
Vilnai was speaking about (…) -

Ralph Nader exclaims that the central political issue of our time is giant corporate power and its take over of our government, plus the spread of commercial values into every nook and cranny of our culture including the commercialization of childhood, the universities and almost everything these large corporations touch.
