In reply to “Utah — Achilles’ Heel of the Surveillance State,” by Justin Raimondo, 02/14/14:

Gentlemen, I may not be the first to coin the phrase, but the appropriate meme here is the “War on Surveillance.” We have had in the past other “wars”:

- War on Poverty
- War on Drugs
- War on Terror

All in the interest of garnering public support and momentum. What do you think?

In reply to “US Plan Offers Palestinians Part of Southern Israel for Refugees,” by Jason Ditz, 02/02/14:

This again is typical of US/Israeli thinking: Give the Palestinians part of the desert in exchange for fertile lands in the Jordan Valley and West Bank.
They really have no shame!!!

The UN created this so-called Jewish nation “Israel;” it is up to the UN to tell the Israelis to get themselves back into what was given them in 1947/8, make them pay reparations for the destruction of all those Palestinian villages they razed to the ground and killing many of the inhabitants. Then Israel should be made to take back all the settlers it planted on Palestinian lands. They should also make reparations to the EU and the Red Cross for all the confiscations and destructions of infrastructure paid for by them.

But I guess the “bringer of democracy, the USof A” is in command of the UNSC and will support Israel to the hilt, no matter what. It’s high time the rest of the world woke up to the aims of the “USof Israel.”
