While I'm not sure it's mentioned in the interview you've posted here with Chris Hedges, Miko Peled points out with Owen Jones that this is how the Palestinians' apartheid is much worse than South Africa's because the South Africans depended on blacks for their labour and would explain how the apartheid eventually ended. In Palestine, the unemployment rate is somewhere around 70% and Israel is not dependent on them working, which makes this a MAJOR humanitarian crises:

It's mainly about the lies and propaganda Israeli's are taught from school upwards. Here's a link to the transcript,


As an aside Miko's sister is Nurit Peled-Elhanan. I think i've posted this video on another thread but i'll leave it here too.

So much for the 300,000 they recruited back in Oct. I imagine a good chunk of them are dead, but this will never be reported on in English.



DC is turning against him. 1000's protested in DC last night. They actually had snipers on the roof because people were angry and shaking the security fence.

His own staff are planning a walk out. Not that it matters, but chances for Biden to win the next election are abysmal.

So it took 3 months for a Palestinian to commit an act of terrorism in Israel?


From The Guardian’s live updates feed:

At least 13 injured after man steals car and rams people in Israeli city of Raanana
Reuters is reporting that a Palestinian man stole a car and rammed people in central Israel on Monday, injuring at least 13, police said, adding that the suspect was in custody and his motivations were being investigated.

Israeli media said some people may have also been stabbed in the incident in Raanana, north of Tel Aviv, which came amid heightened security tensions over the more than three-month-old war with Hamas militants in Gaza.

“This was apparently a suspected terrorist ramming attack,” police said in a statement. It said the suspect was from the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

The injured were taken to hospitals for treatment, it said.

Citing witnesses in an earlier report, Army Radio said the incident may have been a car-jacking during which the stolen vehicle crashed.
