Israel’s Insatiable ZionismPosted on Aug 20, 2011
Israel’s Zionism turned capitalism is getting out of hand; Postmodernism is dead, leaving many to question what it was in the first place; meanwhile, the Americas are projected to replace the Middle East as the energy capital of the world.

But even long before the word ‘swinish’ was adopted to describe Israeli Zionism, Zionism, both in spirit and nature, was a parallel to ‘Hitlar-ism’ to coin my own new word.
Born in the womb of ‘Hitlar-ism’, Zionism was destined to carry on the genes of its mother and father and all the characteristic of evil and fascism that its parents embodied. So, in a sense, ‘Hitler-ism’ is well and alive in plain twenty-first century, in the person of Israeli Zionism. The only difference is the place of its residence and its victims. Hitler-ism was born and resided in Nazi Europe and its victims were mostly Semitic Jews, whereas Israeli Zionism was born in Europe, but changed its residence and theater of action to the heart of the Arab world, with its main victims are being the Semitic Arabs of Palestine.
What an irony!!!

Good article about Netflix. It all depends on what you like to watch. For those
Report thiswho love new movies, especially inconsequential and celebrity junk, it may be
possible to find a cheaper alternative. But if you appreciate films with creative
value (including documentaries, international, and some good TV work,) I don’t think there’s any company that can match Netflix’s collection. The article didn’t mention this point but I’m not too surprised.

I don’t know if Zionism can be sustainable in the long run, but in its short lifetime it has sought the answer to a surprising question: whether abandonment of all knowledge of good and evil by a society can guarantee to its people perpetual life in a promised land.. By all accounts, Israel is by no means comparable to the Garden of Eden. Israelis should find another way, but their way has been lost. Badly.

Just as a christian “holy land” in the midst of islam was unsustainable despite the horrors of the crusades, so too it seems that a zionist utopia at the same address will eventually collapse from its own presumptions.
