however whether the sioux and others protesting exploitation like fracking succeed locally or not, it is likely the currrent global population will be analagous to the forty or more million native americans who were exterminated by disease. The global reduction of carbon is highly unlikely, and the predicted extermination of advanced industrial and agricultural life is highly likely. So the levels of carbon will again fall. Humans largely however wont be around to appreciate the effects.
it would have been nice if Bernie Sanders, the Jewish Labor Committee, the head of American Jewish World Serivice, and the Jewish members of the board of the US' ACLU would have been there. Along with the head of the US NAACP legal and defense funds. Or Sting or Springsteen.
If the Jews and Muslims cannot agree on free access to the relgious sites in and around the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall, could at least a nonaligned nonprofit authority be created to do it? This zone should be demilitarized, and should be a model of religious coexistence. This occurred for hundreds of years under Ottoman rule and for the time the Ummayads of Syria reigned over Syria which included Palestine. If UN resolution cant be implemented because of Israel and PA lack of concern, at least let this small few acres be exempt from this absurd fight.
how wonderful. a real milestone in the destruction of the world by human climate change. did anyone there think what muhummed and the quaran would have said about this assault on Allah's Creation?
Yes, I wish the adept talent of Israel and its supporters in media had been used for the past several years to advocate for an internlational police force to contol the access points from Egypt, Israel and the seas into Gaza .
The strife in Sinai plus the 2012 violence between Hamas and Israel should have already resulted in control of smurggled arms, plus inspections within Gaza to find out where millions of dollars of impoirted concrete to rebuild Gaza went (into Tunnels). Problem is, Israel never wants to expand UN or intern juridiciton over neighborhoods it likes to patrol(Jordan Valley, Jerusalem, Gaza, Golan).
Result this year alone? A mess. Kidnappings, murders, shelling in nroth and south, bombing of Gaza, negative impact on Israel economy as well as obviously, Gaza and PA Areas A-C. It is useless to rehash the past, point fingers, and continue threats to expel or micromanage hostile populations. International aid, including miltiary aid by the US and EU to Israel, and Gulf aid to Hamas, must be conditioned on completion of opening of all commerce and movement of workers and capital freely throughout Mandatory Palestine. Open up the economies, choke off the arms, forget about the two states for now.
The Change: outside investment comes with strict controls for both Israelis and Palestinians. Or they can pay for their "armies", support their currencies and develop their ports and agriculture all by themselves.
The rest of the world can survive, if needed, quite well without either "Palestine" or "Israel".
hopefully Sunni and Western interests will form an alliance with Iran as Churchill did with the Soviet Union which he despised yet realized was a necessary element to defeat Hitlerism. And hopefully progressive Jews in Israel will realize at some point that some of the most progressive and tolerant people in SW Asia are Iranian Shia who understand persecution.
Another T or F question could have been, "Which Middle Eastern nation has the least antiSemitic views among its population according to the US Anti Defamation Leage of Bnai Brith. The answer is True, Iranians have the least antisemitism, compaered with rampant antisemitic views among Saudis, Egyptians and Palestinians, Pakistanis and other predominantly Muslim populations.
Americans have little to no interest in foreign policy and most may not know Iraq for Iran, including some of the guys and ladies who served there in the US military. But one thing Americans know is, Dont Mess W/My Car. ISIS Beware.
congratulations to this great woman and to her nation and culture which in part produced her genius. I am not a Muslim, but I have always thought that Islam proudly promotes science inquiry as well as mathematics. Literal repetition of rules developed in societies(often for good reasons) by any religion cannot be the only way to interpret sacred writings as the societies that produced the great religions change. Jews, Muslims and Christians, all have social limits on women in their ancient writings that need not be literally observed in order to follow the obligation of goodness that God commanded Prophets to spread.
Wouldnt it be wonderful if the US had a true mutual security pact that it needed: one with Iran, Iraq(if there is true sunni participation) and Turkey. Many of the extremists would hopefully return to their studies.
Rudy looks and sounds like Mussolini.
interesting framework indeed.

perhaps show that they are not flimsy hypocrites?
