Chomsky on Democracy Now: Israel should "leave"

Noam Chomsky appeared on Democracy Now! about a week ago. He compared George Washington a terrorist and said Israel should leave, meaning Israel should leave Earth.

Charles at Little Green Footballs sums it up nicely:

When Chomsky suggests Israel should “leave,” he’s saying the same thing as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Israel should leave the face of the earth.

I hope Democracy Now! never disgraces the airwaves at WPKN.

The Global Intifada

Citizen photojournalist Zombie has a terrific--and horrific--photo essay about the simultaneous anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, pro-genocide tantrums around the world on January 10th.

UPDATE: Welcome to my friends from the State Department. This is primarily a music blog, but I believe Israel in particular and Jews in general are the canaries in the coal mine. I hope you're paying attention.

Can we call it anti-Semitism now?

Zombie has a great photo essay about the latest anti-Jewish protest in San Francisco. The argument that it's just about Israel or Zionism no longer is credible. The mask is off.

Jews, arm yourselves.

Packaging Nakba

From Soccer Dad:

The earliest reference I can find to the term "Nakba" (or "Naqba") in the New York Times is this article, from Israel's 50th birthday, a decade ago.

So for 50 years, the NYT didn't see fit to use the term to describe the Arab reaction to Israel's independence. It's only recently that the terms has come into widespread use.

Read it all.

Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Rememberance Day

Atlas Shrugs has a good post today.

Israel Observes Moment of Silence (Jerusalem Post)

Melanie Phillips in the Spectator.

The rectal-cranial inversion

Tonight on WPKN:

• Report on "a major protest in Washington, D.C. on the 40th anniversary of Israel's illegal military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem."

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for this report. Is it going to be from Phyllis Bennis? Leslie Cagan? Mazin Qumsiyeh?

Remember, you're welcome to reply to whatever is said.

WPKN's open format allows for many views and opinions, but the views and opinions expressed are those of the person expressing them, not of WPKN itself. We welcome your responses. If you would like to reply, please call the General Manager weekdays at (203) 331-9756, or email wpkn@wpkn.org.

There's a report of the event at The Age of Hooper, including the inspiring and thought-provoking picture above. There are more photos and video here. This Ain't Hell has more. Atlas Shrugs has more video.

UPDATE: The interview wasn't with any of the A-listers I'd hoped for. It was with Omar Masri from the End The Occupation organization.

THE OUTRAGED SPLEEN OF ZION: June 5, 1967 ~ Am Yisrael Chai!

An Open Letter to the Parents of Rachel Corrie

Written by Prof. Steven Plaut, published in Israel National News.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Corrie,

You are continuing with your campaign of demonization and delegitimization against Israel, a campaign that now manifests itself in a shallow anti-Israel propaganda play being staged in Seattle. All this, of course, came after your earlier open letter to the world, "A Call to Action; Rachel's Words Live," which was reprinted in many different media outfits, including the viciously anti-Semitic Counterpunch magazine, and the Guardian of the UK. ...
Your daughter was in a war zone as a belligerent, as one who had - perhaps wittingly and perhaps not - recruited herself on behalf of a genocidal movement of Arab fascists seeking to destroy Israel and murder as many Jews as possible. Your daughter died while interfering with an anti-terror operation carried out by an army in a land in which she had no business being at all. You demand that we in Israel feel your pain at the loss of your daughter, yet your daughter conscripted herself as an aid for those seeking to murder my children.

Read it all.
