Israeli Jew spills truth about Israel (video)

Wisdom Quarterly; Miko Peled speaks to Christians in U.S., Dec. 2012

Palestinian boy tries to defend family from genocidal, invading Israeli militants (EOI).

 

I'll gladly kill every last d*mn Palestinian

Miko Peled was born into a famous and influential Israeli Jewish family in Jerusalem, who like others did his compulsory military service for Israel. His father was a prominent general in the Israeli Army exterminating Palestinians. Another relative of his was a close personal friend and schoolmate of right-wing extremist [and U.S.-groomed CIA operative] Bibi Netanyahu. 

When Peled's famous niece was killed by desperate Palestinian suicide bombers, the family may have been expected to place the fault on Palestinians. But surprisingly they blamed the "State of Israel," which violently tortures, persecutes, and pulls every dirty trick of imperial rule to drive the indigenous people from their houses and homeland. The Palestinians are so mistreated that in their sadness and desperation they would take their own lives to strike back.

I'm just following orders to attack Arabs.

Through his father's deep knowledge of the Israeli military's terrorist tactics, together with his own research, Peled realized the myths Israelis are fed about their own special history. The stories they are told make no sense under closer examination. Peled ruins the myths surrounding the supposed birth of Israel and the destruction of Palestine. He delivers truth so damning that many Jews and rabid Israel supporters in the USA are not able to bear it. The truth must not be revealed because it would make Israel the war criminals, the propagandists, the invaders and occupiers in collusion with the West laboring under a false history shrouded in Christian distortions.

Looks like a new Berlin Wall, but it's a "fence"

He reveals such things as the fact that the original Jews expelled are not the ones claiming a "right of return," nor their descendants. He covers the double standard regarding the right of return, which is not allowed to apply to Palestinians, and dispels the myth that there has been a conflict for ages by producing proof that it was peaceful for all up until 1947, when Israel launched their illegal attacks heavily subsidized by the U.S. and UK.

Miko Peled is right...He must be silenced!

Peled is just one of the many modern-day Jews who refuse to be complicit in Israeli crimes against humanity. He has turned against Zionism and the State of Israel, and with the information he delivers in this astounding talk, it is easy to see why more and more Jews are rejecting Zionism and calling for the dismantling of Israel.

It is a true eye-opener for anyone who has for too long been blinded by the disinformation reported without question by the mainstream U.S. media. Here the truth comes straight from the heartland where he has spent many years documenting the real story.

Spectacular meteor over Joshua Tree (photos)

Regularly scheduled long exposure camping shot in Joshua Tree National Park, California caught a meteor ads it exploded in the sky during a 30 second camera exposure.

Seeing a meteor streak through the night sky takes a certain amount of luck. Turn away for a second, and you could miss it. Capturing one on film is even harder.
 

So when photographer Scott Rinckenberger set out to shoot fall landscapes in the West, he wasn't expecting to capture the fleeting image of a shooting star.

But when it happened, he knew he'd captured something rare. "Take Two" talked to him about capturing the luckiest shot of his career as part of its occasional series, Picture This. 

"I generally spend my falls spending a lot of time in the outdoors, backpacking, and climbing, and that sort of thing, but late this summer...

Mt. Shuksan, Washington (scottrinck.com)

"I decided I would hit the road and just go out and try to track down the best landscape and the best weather I could starting in Seattle with a final destination of Joshua Tree National Park down in Southern California."

What happened the last night in Joshua Tree? "I guess I was just looking to get a shot that sort of encapsulated the feeling of camping out in the desert. I think Joshua Tree is such a spectacular landscape. 

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

"It's just such a wonderful way to spend the night, watching the stars and hanging out by a campfire that I was just looking for a shot that did a good job of sort of capturing that essence. So it was set up to capture the night sky with the brilliant starscape that was going on, as well as the beautiful camp we had set up among the rocks. It was going to be a good shot, but it turned out to be so much more." LISTEN + PHOTOS

The Real and Fairytale "Jesus" (video)

Wisdom Quarterly; Mitch Jeserich ("Letters & Politics," Dec. 24, 2013, KPFA.org, Berkeley), Dr. Reza Aslan (rezaaslan.com, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth)
Fox News' Lauren Green attacks historian Prof. Reza Aslan, Ph.D., why a former Christian and current Muslim would write about Jesus. It's reactionary, Islamophobic FOX "News" at its best.

BESTSELLER: Zealot (amazon.com)

Religious scholar Dr. Reza Aslan has discusses his fascinating, provocative, and meticulously researched biography about the historical Jesus [Yah'shua].

It calls into question everything Westerners in Judeo-Christian societies thought we knew about Jesus of Nazareth.

 

Two thousand years ago, an itinerant Jewish preacher (rabbi) and miracle worker [siddha] walked across the Galilee, gathering followers [as an anti-imperial rebel like many modern Palestinians] to establish what he called the “Kingdom of God.” 

Good St. Issa as a bodhisattva

The revolutionary movement he launched was so threatening to the established order that he was captured, tortured, and executed as a state criminal.

 

Two decades after his shameful death, his followers would call him God. 

 

Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Dr. Aslan sheds new light on one of history’s most influential and enigmatic characters by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived: first century Palestine, an age awash in apocalyptic fervor.

Jesus became a Pagan Roman god

Scores of Jewish prophets, preachers, and would-be messiahs [which always simply meant someone aiming to save Jews from Roman rule] traipsed through the Holy Land, bearing messages from God. 

 

This is the age of zealotry -- a fervent nationalism that made resistance to the Roman occupation a sacred duty incumbent on all Jews. And few figures better exemplified this principle than the charismatic Galilean who defied both the imperial authorities and their allies in the Jewish religious hierarchy.

 

Fairytale: white savior like Thor

Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Dr. Aslan explores this diverse and turbulent age and, in doing so, challenges the conventional portraits of Jesus of Nazareth. He describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction:

• a man of peace who exhorted his followers to arm themselves with swords;
• an exorcist and faith healer who urged his disciples to keep his identity a secret;
• and ultimately, the seditious “King of the Jews” whose promise of liberation from Rome went unfulfilled in his brief lifetime.

Aslan explores the reasons why the early Christian church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary.

• [Biblical scholar Allegro points out that the Jesus cover-story came from an entheogen-using Jewish cult, possibly the Essenes, whose sacrament and "cross" was the magic mushroom. It provided them direct mystical experiences. The BBC documents that Jesus was a Buddhist monk. He returned from 18 lost years in India with long hair to continue his rebel and messianic activities to free the Jews.]

Vishnu, I'm going back to Palestine. - Good luck.

And he grapples with the riddle of how Jesus understood himself (as a Jew, a "messiah," a "god," and a man), the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequent claims about his divinity.

Zealot questions what we thought we knew about Jesus of Nazareth -- even as it affirms the radical and transformative nature of his life and mission. The result is a thought-provoking, elegantly written biography with the pulse of a fast-paced novel: a singularly brilliant portrait of a man, a time, and the birth of a religion.

 

“Riveting...Aslan synthesizes Scripture and scholarship to create an original account.”

—The  New Yorker

“A lucid, intelligent page-turner.”

—Los Angeles Times

“Fascinatingly and convincingly drawn.”

—The Seattle Times

“[Aslan’s] literary talent is as essential to the effect of Zealot as are his scholarly and journalistic chops. . . . A vivid, persuasive portrait.”

—Salon
“This tough-minded, deeply political book does full justice to the real Jesus, and honors him in the process.”

Jewish Disaster: The Price of Oslo (video)

Peace activist weeps at the sight of Israeli military's war crimes (palestina.tumblr.com)

(RT) Jews chant:  "Judaism yes, Zionism no! State of 'Israel' must go!" Free Palestine!

 

Shhh. Go back to sleep. Dept. of War is on it.

Let's be HONEST. Right now war is going on. But Jews are blaming Hamas, as if the Palestinians were responsible. Hamas is still shooting ineffectual rockets, but be honest. Hamas never existed before. Israel never existed until 1948! Previously, both sides lived in peace together! After establishing an "Israel" here, Jewish occupiers became selfish, taking most of Palastine, making millions of inhabitants refugees. Look at a map of Palestine in 1946, 1967, and 2008. Palestinians lost everything. They are human, too, and they have a right to their land.

  

Israelis are using the most developed technologies against them, building illegal settlements and draconian walls on Palestinians' land, occupying them so they can't do anything. Should they be polite and peaceful when the Israeli military aims to kill them, imprison and "detain" them, humiliate them, deport them from their own land? Don't blame Palestinians. Zionist-Jews are the cause!

(RT) Jews condemn Zionist Israeli government in New York

Now Syria will be called "evil." But what about the Golan Heights? Occupied and settled on illegally by Jewish settlers, replacing the population with Jews on Syria's territory. Should they be kind? And occupying southern Lebanon. After that Hisboullah was established with an aim to stop Zionist occupation of southern Lebanon. Yet they get called "terrorists"? Be honest and say who the real terrorists are now! Israelis, Hamas, Hisboullah? Maybe Syrians? What could anyone think about Netanyahu's Zionist Israeli regime [backed by the CIA, US and UK governments, and other Western powers]? Is anyone thinking of giving land back to its real owners?

 

"The Catastrophe" (Al Nakba)

(Al Jazeera Channel) English voice over begins at Minute 1:45. El Nakba English PART II

  

Surrounding and choking off natives

(WS) Twenty years ago, after decades of conflict between Zionist, pro-government, occupying Israelis and restive Palestinians, a prospect for peace emerged. It was September 1993, and a handshake between then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, head of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization), on the lawn of the White House raised hopes that peace would finally come to the Middle East.

 

This two-part series traces the secret road to the "Oslo Accords," telling the story of negotiations that took place in the political shadows and a search for common ground in the midst of a region strategically kept in constant turmoil. At the center of it all was an unlikely mediator trying to intervene for peace and justice -- the Scandinavian country of Norway.
