Did anyone notice that the station DID NOT claim that the bumper sticker indicated a terrorist threat?! They were INTERVIEWING a libertarian who said SHE THOUGHT the police might target her because of her bumper-sticker. So her paranoid fantasies are now being used as EVIDENCE that AntiWar.com is considered a terrorist threat! “Alas, you can’t fool KMOV St. Louis, Channel 4.”

Soldier says rabbis pushed “religious war” in Gaza

“Rabbis in the Israeli army told battlefield troops in January’s Gaza offensive they were fighting a “religious war” against gentiles, according to one army commander’s account published Friday.

“Their message was very clear: we are the Jewish people, we came to this land by a miracle, God brought us back to this land and now we need to fight to expel the gentiles who are interfering with our conquest of this holy land,” he said.

The account by Ram, a pseudonym to shield the soldier’s identity, was published by the left-leaning Haaretz newspaper in the second day of revelations that have rocked the Israeli military. (www.haaretz.com “Shooting and Crying, 2009″).

They were leaked from a Feb 13 meeting of armed forces members to share their Gaza experiences.

Some veterans, alumni of an Israel Defense Force (IDF) military academy, told of the killing of civilians and their impression that deep contempt for Palestinians pervaded the ranks of the Israeli forces.

You meet them everywhere. I probably have half a dozen Muslims in each of my English classes. The main difference between them and the other Chinese is that they don't eat pork. I eat at, eg, Lanzhou Noodle restaurants, usually run by Muslims, fairly often, and nothing bad has ever happened to me. The truth is, Muslims are about as dangerous as Southern Baptists. Some feeble-minded individuals just can't live without putting others down, and Muslims are in fashion at the moment in the USA. Lester Ness There are about 40 million Muslims in China.

A quick glance at the both the military medical establishment and the VA's standing practice of passive neglect or outright denial of help to those whom both institutions ostensibly exist to serve should make that fact loud and clear. Indeed, the not-so-tacit message to both active duty combat troops and their veteran counterparts appears to be "Go ahead, off yourselves. You've served your purpose, but now that you're wounded, disabled, and/or psychologically destroyed beyond hope of redemption or reuse, we have no more use for you and therefore are not about to waste precious resources on you. Removing yourselves from the gene pool will save us millions of dollars, at least in the short term, money that we can put to much better use to recruit train, equip, and deploy replacements for you. So, drop dead!" I've always wondered why, given the fact that this has been the unmistakable message sent to disabled and mentally incapacitated veterans for, oh, only the last two hundred years or so that ANYONE voluntarily enlists in the military at all, much less makes it a career. George Santayana's most famous quotation is nowhere more starkly proven than here. (By the way, just for the record and to preclude the inevitable flames that this post is sure to engender, I count myself, as one who volunteered to serve and did so for more than a single enlistment, among the guilty-as-charged.)
