My favourite dictator, Mahmoud (or whatever his name is) Qadafi, has reminded the United Nations that African nations are still underrepresented at the UN and the worldatlarge. I totally agree with him, as I often do. Here are a few steps I can recommend for helping African nations: 1. Give up Arab rule over North-Africa/Tamazgha. 3. Give up Arab rule over Egypt. 3. Give up Arab rule over Sudan. 4. Give up Arab rule over Somalia. There you are. A similar simple formula was o...
Africans are not stupid. And organising a working state is difficult. Most of Africa has failed to do so, as has most of Europe at many points in its history. What we are seeing in Africa is not an inherent inferiority of the location or the people but the same dark ages that many other continents were confronted with at other times. I believe the best solution for Africa is to allow other countries to organise Africa's economy. But for this to work, those other countries must profit from ...
Christian Arab comic Ray Hanania (who is not the prime minister of Gaza) wrote this excellent article on ynet. Occasionally, when I am on the comedy stage, an American in the audience will stand up and blurt out, “Hey, camel jockey. How did the whole Arab-Israeli conflict start? What was the real cause?” ... http://www.ynet.co.il/english/articles/0,7340,L-3105616,00.html Ray Hanania is a Palestinian-American writer, peace activist and standup comedian w...
Take a look at the likely outcome according to current polls: http://www.n-tv.de/politik/politik_wahl_2009/wahl_statistik/ Black is a safe Christian Democrat win. Red is a safe Social Democrat win. Violet is a safe Socialist win. Green is a safe Green win. I already voted. In my district, the last place I lived in before I moved to Dublin, there were two candidates with chances to win: Klaus Uwe Benneter runs for for the Social Democrats and is famous for once having be...
Harry's Place about "Human Rights Watch": I really am at a loss for words. Assuming that this is all correct, hiring a very extreme Communist, with simply horrendous views about Israel/Palestine to produce a report of this sort is akin hiring a man who was formerly active in the KKK to write about black people and crime. Fundraising for this sort of work in Saudi Arabia is like taking cash for this enterprise from the old Apartheid South Africa. This is the anatomy of a lynchi...
I don't know if it is a good idea first to call Ahmadinejad the "elected leader of Iran" and then "correcting" that statement. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Wednesday said he had misspoken in calling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Iran 's elected leader and that Washington will let the Iranian people decide whether Iran's election was fair. "Let me correct a little bit of what I said yesterday. I denoted that Mr. Ahmadinejad was the elected leader of Iran. I would say tha...
This is an opportunity for a really sarcastic article about how the supposed war crime of liberating Iraq somehow led to Iraqis voting for the very people who not only supported the invasion but even those who made the invasion happen . But instead of writing such an article, I thought I will rather celebrate this great democratic success and give liberals who opposed the invasion a chance to celebrate this too. For the third time Iraqis have had the chance to vote. Omar of Iraq the Model...
I found this interesting article on Ynet News. Rethinking Palestine Martin Sherman offers a paradigm shift from the political to the humanitarian And he makes some excellent points: It is time for the proponents of the two-state solution to admit that the Palestinians have failed the test of history in staking their claim for statehood. A dispassionate evaluation of the events of the past two decades inexorably compels one towards an increasing evident conclusion: The ...
What is your position regarding Jews and Arabs living in Jerusalem? 1. Jews and Arabs should be allowed to buy or build houses in all of Jerusalem. 2. Only Jews should be allowed to buy or build houses in all of Jerusalem. 3. Only Arabs should be allowed to buy or build houses in all of Jerusalem. Just curious.
This could be good news. A Somalilander friend has sent an email to tell me about this article: http://somalilandpress.com/11628/israel-says-ready-to-recognize-somaliland/ The government of Israel is ready to restore the de jure recognition it has offered to Somaliland in 1960 as it eyes the Red Sea and the Horn, an Israeli spokesman says. ... Many analysts believe Israel has growing national interest in the Red Sea region, a key shipping route. According to well-infor...
Dutch MP Geert Wilders, who has been accused of Islamophobia, faces trial in his own country for inciting hatred. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7314636.stm You have probably already heard of Dutch politician Geert Wilders who has been accused of "Islamophobia" (which is apparently now a crime in Europe) and is currently on trial for his opinions. Wilder's politial opinions are "libertarian" as he calls it but also ahve room for a public healthcare system and social services...
Dos and Donts for the modern humanist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saeky9I5T9c I sometimes wonder why "peace activists" accept the Nazis as evil. After all, they demonized European Jews (who are not better than middle-eastern Jews), called for a boycott of their businesses, and tried to murder them (and succeeded). Those same acts today are considered "resistance" and the groups that pursue them are called "peace partners" and their demands are seen as justified.
The "United Nations", founded the be a forum for _nations_ to speak has over the decades since her founding become a forum that defends dictatorial rule over nations and prevents nations from asserting their independence. I wrote about this issue before. Now Ban Ki-moon, completely ignoring the Nilo-Saharan (African) tribes' right of self-determination which the United Nations are meant to uphold has decided that the United Nations, the forum, ought to take sides. And, surprisingly enoug...
The Miami Herald finally reveals the true depth of the racist evil that is the Zionist Entity: Israelis seem determined to do all they can to help the inhabitants of a frail nation thousands of miles away, people with no connection to Israel other than the fact that they both have a history of suffering. Watching the Israeli response -- one of the fastest, most effective of any country on Earth -- it is striking to see the enormous gap between the grotesque image of Israel woven by its enem...
Reports from Haiti say that the racist Israeli oppressors have arrived and built one of their terror hospitals: The IDF's field hospital in the Haitian capital worked at full capacity throughout Sunday, treating a relentless stream of victims from what a senior IDF medical officer described as "the war outside." Overnight Saturday, in what staff described as one of the most fulfilling moments of their work, the Israeli doctors delivered a baby boy, whose mother, Gubilande Jean Michel, pr...
