The Long History of Palestine - Why Palestinians are Winning the Legitimacy War

Oddly, it was Israeli historian Benny Morris who got it right, when he offered a candid prediction of the future of his country and its war with the Palestinians. 

 "The Palestinians look at everything from a broad, long-term perspective," he said in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in 2019. "They see that, at the moment, there are five-six-seven million Jews here, surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs. They have no reason to give in, because the Jewish state can't last. They are bound to win. In another 30 to 50 years they will overcome us, come what may." 

My top seven favorite lies Trump has told

Trump with shadow of a longer nose

President Trump will go down in history as the US President who told the most lies. He spews lies like a slot machine spits out nickels. Trump should be the last person to complain about fake news and quit calling the US media the enemy of the American people.

Politico reported that Trump lied on average every five minutes over the course of 4.6 hours of speeches and press conferences. 

The Huffington Post recorded that he told 71 lies over the course of just one town hall event. However, 

The Washington Post reported in July 2020 that President Trump made over 20,000 "false or misleading claims." This amounts to an average of 23 false claims a day. (A polite way to describe lies.)

Here is my favorite 7 lies of Trump with my response:

1- President Donald Trump has lied for several years that he was honored as "Man of the Year." The truth is, he received only a plaque as a thank gesture for speaking at a Michigan Republican dinner in 2013.

By fusing journalistic exposé with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, “Common Ground” unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system.

Identity of Leading Antisemite Might Surprise

If we look beyond the opponents of genocide who are so shamefully smeared with the label “antisemite,” but if we still treat “Semite” as meaning “Jew,” then the identity of a leading actual antisemite might surprise many people.

Very few, I’ve found, are aware that the policy of Nazi Germany for years was to pursue the expulsion of the Jews, not their murder, that the U.S. government led the world’s governments in holding public conferences to discuss who would accept the Jews, that those governments — for open and shamelessly Anti-Semitic reasons — refused to accept the Nazis’ future victims, and that Hitler openly trumpeted this refusal as agreement with his bigotry and as encouragement to escalate it. I’m not aware of a single popular history text that includes the fact that the U.S. and British governments, throughout the war, repeatedly refused to evacuate the Jews or any other at-risk groups simply because they found it inconvenient.

A Night at The Garden, An Election for The Ages

This Sunday night, Donald Trump intends to recreate one of the ugliest nights in the history of New York City. 

On February 20, 1939, right-wing American Christian Nationalists rented Madison Square Garden to hold a massive pro-Fascist, white supremacy rally. It was a sold-out crowd of 20,000 patriotic Americans, complete with flags, our National Anthem, and a 50-foot portrait of George Washington hanging from the rafters. World War II would start in 6 months, but the crowd ate up the racism, the attacks on the press and the hatred toward the Jews. Applause! Laughter! God Bless America!
