Holocaust and Holodomor: Origins of Anti-Semitism
Nicholas Lysson
http://www.savethemales.ca/001863.html

... A particularly relevant parallel to the Nazi holocaust is the Ukrainian holodomor of 1932-33, a state-created famine -- not a crop failure -- that killed an estimated five million people in the Ukraine, one million in the Caucasus, and one million elsewhere after the Soviet state confiscated the harvest at gunpoint. Throughout the famine, the state continued to export grain to pay for industrialization ... Some Ukrainian accounts, and that of Muggeridge, who covered the holodomor for the Manchester Guardian, take the trouble to say that this mass starvation was imposed largely by Jews. Lazar M. Kaganovich is often identified as an architect of the policy.

Few people know that Israel is the only state to be given a conditional admission. Under General Assembly Resolution 273, Israel was admitted on the condition that it grant all Palestinians the right to return to their homes and receive compensation for lost or damaged property, according to General Assembly Resolution 194, paragraph 11.

Getting on for 100 phone calls last night about our interview with Mark Regev, the Israeli Government spokesman.
This after the United Nations had accused Israeli forces of "negligence and recklessness" in their attacks on UN compounds in Gaza during the January assault.

Reasonably evenly balanced between those who thought it was too hard and those who thought it about right.
It's always difficult interviewing well-trained government voices. Mr Regev is more accomplished than most.

But here it is anyway.

George Bisharat shows how Israel constantly tries to transform international law through violations, which if successful would encourage occupiers to follow its lead, externalizing military control while shedding all responsibilities to occupied populations.

Afghanistan: US, NATO wage World's Largest, Longest War
by Rick Rozoff
(Wednesday, March 25, 2009)

"Afghanistan has become a permanent training ground and firing range for providing the US and its NATO allies and candidate members opportunities to test out new weapons systems, wage 21st Century counterinsurgency operations and integrate so-called niche deployment military units from over 42 nations to achieve weapons and warfighting interoperability."

UN: Israel broke six-month truce in Gaza

presstv.ir A new UN report (& link to full pdf)exposes a bit of misinformation peddled by the US and Israel and shatters the Zionist illusion that the Gaza war was legal. The report, prepared by human rights investigator Richard Falk, confirms that Tel Aviv was indeed the party that violated the Egyptian-brokered six-month truce in Gaza.

Thinking of Boycotting Rogue State Israel?

a link to the British "Boycott Israel" Web site and a list of companies involved with Israel. And don't forget to call or write your elected representatives in Congress to demand that your tax dollars not be used to fund Israel's ongoing attempt to exterminate the Palestinian people.

HOLOCAUST IN GAZA
Rohini Hensman

In February 2008, Israel's Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai warned that if Hamas continued firing rockets, they would bring upon themselves a 'bigger shoah,' the word used by Israelis to refer to the Nazi genocide or holocaust. This statement came in the wake of attacks on Gaza which left 32 Palestinians dead, including eight children, the youngest a six-month-old baby.
