Falk believes that Israel has been avoiding criticism

The next UN investigator into Israeli conduct in the occupied territories has stood by comments comparing Israeli actions in Gaza to those of the Nazis.

Speaking to the BBC, Professor Richard Falk said he believed that up to now Israel had been successful in avoiding the criticism that it was due.

Professor Falk is scheduled to take up his post for the UN Human Rights Council later in the year.

But Israel wants his mandate changed to probe Palestinian actions as well.

Professor Falk said he drew the comparison between the treatment of Palestinians with the Nazi record of collective atrocity, because of what he described as the massive Israeli punishment directed at the entire population of Gaza.

He said he understood that it was a provocative thing to say, but at the time, last summer, he had wanted to shake the American public from its torpor.

“Despite the United State’s instrumental role in facilitating the ANC takeover in South Africa, the American government has not been as gracious in opening our doors to White South Africans who suffer robbery, rape, and murder, in part, because of American policy towards the White regime in South Africa. When White South Africans petition for asylum or seek to immigrate legally, the Immigration and Naturalization Service filled with large numbers of Black affirmative action employees thwart their attempts at every corner.” — NorthlandTrekker

‘US returned us to hijack hell’

By Lauren Thys, Beeld

Delmas - “We want the Americans to know to what kind of a country they sent us back to.”

Wentzel Herbst said: “I’ve had to go through another hijacking and, this time, my children were with me.”

Herbst had been in the car with his brother-in-law, Jimmy Watson, when Watson was killed during a hijacking just more than a week ago.

Wentzel, his wife, Carol, and their children, Deiran, six, and Tegan, three - who were born in the United States - were visiting the Watsons in Delmas.

 When I was a kid, we didn’t drink Welch’s Grape Juice, didn’t eat Welch’s grape jelly. Any Welch product. That’s because Robert Welch was one of the founders of the John Birch Society, which my family saw as anti-semitic. Probably was for all I know. But that’s why we couldn’t have Welch’s. And I approve. I wonder how my mom knew that. Maybe from the liberal press, such as it was.
Well today George Will writes a whole column about Sheldon Adelson in the Washington Post, third richest man in America, and it is entirely about his business activities. Not a word about his political activity: the biggest backer of birthright, the turn-them-into-Zionists-and-get-them-to-marry-Jews free trips to Israel; a big backer of the Israeli right; and most important, a giant backer of Freedom’s Watch, the pro-Iraq-war group started after meetings at the Republican Jewish Coalition.

Concerned about India’s soaring food prices, the country’s Congress Party-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government imposed a ban on all rice exports earlier this month.The only exception is exports of basmati rice. India’s best-known strain of rice, basmati rice is more expensive and generally consumed only by the better-off and then usually on special occasions.The same cabinet meeting that imposed the rice-export ban also extended a ban, first imposed in June 2006, on the export of many varieties of lentils (beans and split legumes). Rice or wheat mixed together with lentils forms the daily staple of the majority of Indians.Two factors lie behind the rice export-ban. First and foremost, fears in ruling class circles that rising food prices will provoke social unrest. India’s elite and much of the international financial press are trumpeting India’s “rise,” yet the overwhelming majority of India’s population is hard-pressed to adequately feed, clothe, and house itself even in “normal times.” More than 800 million of India’s 1.1 billion people live on less than $US2 per day and 300 million on less than $1 per day.

HOW THE JEWISH LOBBY WORKS

In other words, “Jews stick together.” Americans must know how extremely powerful the Jewish Lobby is and how it operates to undermine America’s interests both at home and abroad. At home - by corrupting America’s political system, and abroad - by dictating American Foreign Policy against America’s best interests.

China Moves in: “Need Some Arms, African Friend”?

A few years back, the Chinese government reckoned that economic success could not continue unless the country proved able to increase its international political standing, mainly because of the need to secure raw materials supply contracts to feed to its rapidly expanding industrial sector. Unfortunately, relations with the big Asian players (India, Japan and Russia) were and remain tense: historic rivalries and territorial claims mean that the country is still deeply mistrusted by them.

Given this, starting from around 2005 China decided to focus on Africa, tightening relations with those countries that are shunned by the international community:

Is Resident Evil 5 racist?

A video game about zombies seems like an unlikely catalyst for a discussion of race, but Capcom’s upcoming horror title kicked off just such a firestorm in the gaming community this week and could eventually spark a much larger conflagration.

Resident Evil 5 was unveiled last year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo and created a bit of stir with its portrayal of a white protagonist fighting off hordes of black zombies in an African village.

But that was nothing compared with the reaction this week when MTV’s gaming blog, in a series on race in games, interviewed Newsweek’s gaming journalist, N’Gai Croal, who is black.

Both the Resident Evil 5 trailer and links to Mr. Croal’s comments are available on our gaming blog, punchbutton.com. View and read both before making up your mind.

Where does Barack Obama really stand on racial issues? Is he the post-racial bipartisan conciliator of his campaign image, or is he the black racial activist depicted in his autobiography?On this issue, for once, Obama’s stance is quite clear.Acolytes in the Obama Cult are taught that, when proselytizing over the phone for new converts, they should not answer direct questions about what Obama stands for, other than “hope” and “change,” but instead should tell the inquirer to go look up the candidate’s policy positions on BarackObama.com.

So let’s look carefully at Obama’s “Civil Rights” webpage.

(In case you are wondering, all three surviving candidates’ websites have an “Issues” page, but only Obama’s has a “Civil Rights” subpage. In contrast, on Hillary’s website, one of the “Issues” sections is entitled “A Champion for Women,” but none of the “issues” she chooses to feature is specifically devoted to race. And McCain’s website doesn’t give civil rights prominent play.)
