Peace, Not War
"We perpetuate war by exalting its sacrifices." --Paddy Chayefsky, The Americanization of Emily
On Religion
All elements of religion but the love of universal justice and compassion--as found in the Prophets--constitute idolatry, including worship of “God.”
The Easy Way
No wonder allegiance to a state has replaced love of justice as the core value of Judaism. It's easier.

On Israel’s “Right to Exist”
When I posted Sharmine Narwani’s provocative article “Excuse Me, But Israel Has No Right to Exist” on Facebook, I got an inappropriate reaction from libertarians. It was summed up by one comment this way:
No territorial State has the right to exist. They are all organisations against individual rights and liberties.This answer is true but inappropriate. Why?

The Israeli "Peace Process" on the Ground
From Rachelle Marshall’s “Israel's Current Demand: Most of the West Bank,” Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, March-April 2012
On Jan. 23, 100 Bedouins in Anata, northeast of Jerusalem, were forced into the cold outdoors just before midnight, when army bulldozers arrived without warning and demolished their entire community, including all their personal belongings. Many of the displaced were children and babies. On Jan. 25 near Hebron, Mohammed Abu Qbeita was building a house on his own land when soldiers came and ordered him to stop. When he refused to move, an army officer truck knocked him to the ground and drove a trailers attached to a tractor over his legs, crushing one of them.
No one is safe from the random cruelty.
