8月19日 'THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED'I'm going to simply say you must watch this. Description: 8月15日 Duty of Compassion“You may multiply your prayers,
I shall not be listening.
Your hands are covered in blood, Wash make yourselves clean. Take your wrong-doing out of my sight. Cease doing evil. Learn to do good,
Search for justice, Help the oppressed,
Be just to the orphan, Plead for the widow.”

Holding out a bloody sword No matter how I squint I cannot Make out what it's pointing toward Sometimes you feel like you live too long Days drip slowly on the page You catch yourself Pacing the cage I've proven who I am so many times The magnetic strip's worn thin And each time I was someone else And every one was taken in Powers chatter in high places Stir up eddies in the dust of rage Set me to pacing the cage I never knew what you all wanted So I gave you everything All that I could pillage All the spells that I could sing It's as if the thing were written In the constitution of the age Sooner or later you'll wind up Pacing the cage Sometimes the best map will not guide you You can't see what's round the bend Sometimes the road leads through dark places Sometimes the darkness is your friend Today these eyes scan bleached-out land For the coming of the outbound stage Pacing the cage Bruce Cockburn - The Charity of Night 8月9日 'War Quotes' This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.

8月8日 City of GodBecause I do it with one small ship, I am called a terrorist. You do it with a whole fleet and are called an emperor. ~A pirate, from St. Augustine's "City of God" 'Hezbollah: What we still don't understand about Hizbollah''Israel has finally conceded that air power alone will not defeat Hizbollah. Over the coming weeks, it will learn that ground power won't work either. The problem is not that the Israelis have insufficient military might, but that they misunderstand the nature of the enemy.
In terms of structure and hierarchy, it is less comparable with, say, a religious cult such as the Taliban than to the multi-dimensional American civil rights movement of the 1960s. What made its rise so rapid, and will make it impossible to defeat militarily, was not its international support but the fact that it evolved from a reorientation of pre-existing Lebanese social groups.
Evidence of the broad nature of Hizbollah's resistance to Israeli occupation can be seen in the identity of its suicide attackers. Hizbollah conducted a broad campaign of suicide bombings against American, French and Israeli targets from 1982 to 1986. Altogether, these attacks, which included the infamous bombing of the marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, involved 41 suicide terrorists.
Researching my book, which covered all 462 suicide bombings around the globe, I had colleagues scour Lebanese sources to collect martyr videos, pictures and testimonials and biographies of the Hizbollah bombers. Of the 41, we identified the names, birth places and other personal data for 38. We were shocked to find that only eight were Islamic fundamentalists; 27 were from leftist political groups such as the Lebanese Communist Party and the Arab Socialist Union; three were Christians, including a female secondary school teacher with a college degree. All were born in Lebanon.'
Robert Pape
'Lobbying for Armageddon''Some influential evangelical leaders are lobbying for an attack on Iran. But it's not about geopolitics -- it's about bringing about the End Times.'
This would likely be fringe news anywhere but the United States. Anyone who doubts the clout that these people have hasn't been paying attention to recent events. Everyone is doing God's work for him; after all, he's a busy guy. 8月6日 Jewish Anti-ZionismSomeone can correct me if I'm wrong; I'm not familiar with all the intricacies of Orthodox Judaism. But there is a curious vein within Judaism that sees Zionism as blasphemy against God. Its opposition seems largely a product of strong religious ideology that differs in its extremes, and that has become marginalized over time. You don't ever hear anything about this, but its quite interesting, so I thought I'd mention it.
"The Torah commands us to emulate G-d and to be compassionate. We are forbidden to unlawfully expropriate land, to subjugate or to oppress another people. Therefore we protest and mourn the murder, deportation, subjugation, and oppression of the Palestinian people by the Zionist hooligans who invaded their homeland, in violation of the Torah, and have caused so much needless suffering. The list of their crimes is endless."
Rabbi Yisroel P. Feldman
