There has been a clear anti-Muslim attack from the mainstream media over the past decades. The publication of cartoons of Mohamed with a bomb in his turban serves no function other than to further inflame the Muslims. Although I understand how they feel and I too want an end to…

a lot of Europeans and North Americans are surprised that Germany has such laws.

Most of Europe has such laws, not only Germany. The US and Canada does not have specific laws against it, but the result is close.

Actually it's not a double standard, one is pretty much a…

Showing impatience with Iranian foot-dragging

I wonder why Obama does not show the same impatience with Israel's foot-dragging, considering that UNSC resolution 487 (almost 30 years ago) "Calls upon Israel urgently to place its nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards".

As an NPT member, Iran has an inalienable sovereign right to…

Umm...once the Palestinians get their state, that is the end of it.

They had a state, called Palestine, but a group of terrorists wiped if off the map with the help of western leaders and media.

Anyway, the "coalition of the willing" essentially destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan for much…

The International community must enforce the resolutions calling Israel to return to the pre-1967 borders (or better yet, wipe it off the map). Only then can the Palestinians have a viable state. What the Palestinians have now are small bits of land (lowest quality land) dispersed throughout what used to…

The #1 terrible thing the Iranian and Venezuelan leaders did was to criticize Israel for its war crimes. That automatically brands them as evil by the world's media and puppet governments. Perez is simply repeating the propaganda, its his way of saying "hey, look over there, don't look here (as…

Israel's Peres says Chavez, Ahmadinejad will fall

No, instead more leaders will follow their examples. Its the criminal governments like the Israeli one that will fall.

For Obama not to bow would have been disrespectful, he was a guest. Those who complain are probably those same arrogant fools who want to continue treating Japan as an occupied country.

They could have had their state long ago,

They did, they had Palestine. But then a group of terrorists (yes that is what they were called) wiped it off the map with the military and financial help from corrupt western governments.

ex-President Bill Clinton said the Israelis and Palestinians must hammer out an agreement.

Agreements have been made many times, just to be broken. What is needed is for the international community to force Israel to adhere to international law and common human decency.
