[The Bible Archive] The Bible Archive » Blog Archive » Timeline of Israel: Emden, in a remarkable apology for Christianity contained in his appendix to “Seder ‘Olam,”[8] gives it as his opinion that the original intention of Jesus, and especially of Paul, was to convert only the Gentiles to the seven moral laws of Noah and to let the Jews follow the Mosaic law ”” which explains the apparent contradictions in the New Testament regarding the laws of Moses and the Sabbath.

[INTIFADA] WAR WITH IRAN? AMERICA'S TITANIC RUSHES THE ICEBERG « INTIFADA: Perhaps we have created an enfant terrible that is on the verge of expanding territory, taking chunks of Iraq (via resettlement of Jewish Kurds) as well as other neighboring nations. Sending Israeli military or mercenaries (as is documented they did in Guatelama in the 1980s) into Iran as "peace keepers" would expand territory and give access to gigantic oil reserves.

[News » Alex Singleton] Labour's worst crime wasn't Iraq - it was welfare - Telegraph Blogs: The comedian Mark Steel once said that the Iraq War was so fundamentally wrong and evil that grumbling about Labour’s other mistakes was like complaining that Ian Huntley was a rubbish caretaker - in other words, that crime was so terrible that everything else pales into insignificance.

[Armenian Weekly] Davidian: Land Reparation: Statics and Dynamics | Armenian Weekly: I believe if people look at the Regional kinetics proposal for what it is what it isn’t, they’ll soon or later will see it isn’t for victories, pound of flesh to be ripped away from Turkey, proof of intellectual superiority, etc.  We know that a number of other Armenian individuals (a couple of whose articles were posted above) also think that an access to the Black Sea is crucial to Armenia’s survival. To me, this proposal is trying to make the Armenian individual think about what is best for the survivability of Armenia.  It has no outlandish claims that it can be achieved easily, soon, or under all circumstances.   It is challenging people to debate it, add to it, come up with your own improved one, or completely debunk it.   However, what the proposal isn’t inviting people to do is dismissing altogether because it is difficult to achieve given the current equilibrium of forces, because of it generality, or because of it doesn’t contain things you may or may not wish to see.

[The Badger] Sussex boycotts Israeli goods - Hannah Pini | The Badger - USSU: Israel’s actions are hardly worse than the those of the US, UK or NATO in Iraq or Afghanistan (100s of 1000s dead), and arguably considerably more justified (how many Iraqi or Afghani missiles landed on American or British towns or villages? How many states border the US or UK whose governments are dedicated to eternal jihad until their extinction?).

Would it have precluded the Iraqis from invading Kuwait in 1990?  Would the Iraqis have refrained from using chemical weapons against Iran and the Kurds?

[POLITICO.com: Politics] From mission creep to mission gallop - Roger Simon - POLITICO.com: In a 9/14/09 audiotape, Osama bin Laden addressed the American people, saying once again that "the cause of the quarrel with you is your support of your Israeli allies who have occupied our land, Palestine." He declared that not only Muslims but also Americans suffer because of the US Israel Lobby. He described the Palestinians under siege in Gaza who were pounded with US-made incendiary phosphorus bombs, and he called on the American people to achieve peace and security by freeing ourselves from the Israel Lobby neocons who dictate our foreign policy.

[SWJ Blog] 11 November SWJ Roundup (SWJ Blog): Metz concludes that the United States has a long-standing, continuing problem “developing sound assumptions when the opponent operates within a different psychological and cultural framework.” He sees a pattern of misjudgments about Saddam and Iraq based on Western cultural and historical bias and a pervasive faith in the superiority of America’s worldview and institutions. This myopia contributed to America being caught off guard by Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, then underestimating his longevity, and finally miscalculating the likelihood of a stable and democratic Iraq after he was toppled.
