It is rather impossible to grasp the magnitude of the crimes against humanity performed by the Jewish state in the name of the Jewish people unless one elaborates on Jewish culture in the light of Judaic teaching.
Zionism was founded as a secular movement. It was there to provide the emancipated Diaspora Jew with a 'national home land' of his or her own. However, Zionism was rather effective in transforming the Old Testament from a spiritual text into a land registry. As the truth of Israeli barbarism is unfolding a devastating continuum is being established between Israeli murderous policies and Judaic Goy hating.
It would be fair to argue that Judaic teaching is not monolithic. As we know, one of the only Jewish collectives that stands with the Palestinians call themselves the Torah Jews (Neturei Karta), a Jewish orthodox sect. In other words, the Torah must have a humanist side to it.

The Houthi fighters say they have destroyed several Saudi Arabian military vehicles as Riyadh continues targeting Houthis north of Yemen.
The Shia fighters say they have destroyed six Humvees (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) and three tanks in the northern provinces of Omran and Harf Sufyan.
On Wednesday, the Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of relentless missile attacks and artillery fire against civilians on the Yemeni soil.
The Saudis reportedly fired over 150 missiles and carried out 18 airstrikes.
Yemeni and Saudi forces have been jointly pounding the Houthis who have taken arms in protest to the Sunni-dominated Sana'a government's repression and discrimination against the country's Shia minority.

Terrorist state
Dr. Mads Gilbert has accused Israel of being a "terrorist state" led by losers, whose natural place is in prison after standing trial at the international court of justice for their crimes against the Palestinian people.
The Norwegian doctor told
Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper published on Sunday in London that he supported the Palestinian people's right of choosing their representatives when asked about Israeli charges that he was dealing with Hamas leaders.
He said that Israel did not table a single proof to refute "our evidence and testimonies".
The doctor said that he was not frustrated because of the Israeli lies, adding, "We must be patient ... history taught us that many empires that lasted for centuries had collapsed in the end ... we must be optimistic because if we let down that means that we betrayed the Palestinian people".

Tear down that wall
On the ninth of November 2009 hundreds of thousands of Germans celebrated the twentieth anniversary of removing the wall of shame in Berlin, which was razed in 1989.
Many leaders of the EU and the rest of the world, as well as many representatives of religious communities, of social, governmental and non-governmental institutions were seen among the Germans celebrators.
These leaders are the same politicians who supported the Zionists in building the apartheid wall on Palestinian land, ignoring in that the decision of the International Tribunal, which confirmed the illegality of the wall and demanded that Israel dismantle it. These same "leaders" have sold at a discount or even gifted the terrorist and criminal organization "State of Israel" with modern weapons while at the same time the citizens of their countries descend into abject misery.

Amid the growing use of the Internet in Iran, a senior Iranian police official says a special unit to monitor Internet crimes has sprung into action in the country.
Speaking to Iran's Labor News Agency (ILNA) on Friday, head of the police unit in charge of countering Internet crimes General Mehdi Omidi said the special committee would act against "attempted fraud, illegal advertising, insults and spreading lies and falsehood."
"The police will also intervene in political matters in case an illegal act takes place [on the Internet]," Gen. Omidi told ILNA.
Comment: The western media have jumped on this as a sign of the Iranian government's culpability in silencing dissent in Iran. However when we consider how US intelligence
used the internet for the psychological warfare component of the its government's failed regime change plan in Iran, it's understandable that Iran would seek to protect itself with this move.

Protesters say the Israel Defense Forces used live ammunition from Ruger rifles last Friday to disperse a demonstration near the separation fence at the West Bank town of Na'alin. In 2001, the military advocate general ordered a halt to the use of such rifles for crowd control.
Two injured protesters told other demonstrators that a soldier had fired at them from about 40 meters away while they were throwing stones at a jeep parked at an IDF outpost.
In June a 35-year-old Na'alin resident, Aqel Srur, was killed when a member of the Border Police fired a .22-caliber bullet at him.
Comment: Political Ponerology on paramoralism:
Para-moralism somehow cunningly evades the control of our common sense, sometimes leading to an affirmation of behavior whose character is openly pathological. Para-moralistic statements and suggestions so often accompany various kinds of evil that they seem quite irreplaceable.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday urged Israel to halt what he called "provocative" actions in East Jerusalem after another Palestinian family was evicted from its home.
"These actions stoke tensions, cause suffering and further undermine trust," said Ban in a statement issued by his spokesperson.
Ban called on Israel to "cease such provocative actions," and to implement its commitments under the Road Map peace plan by freezing all settlement activity, including natural growth; dismantling outposts; and reopening Palestinian institutions in East Jerusalem.

The British oil giant BP will today take control of Iraq's biggest oilfield in the first important energy deal since the 2003 invasion. The move has created uproar among local politicians invoking resentful memories of their nation's colonial past.
The agreement to develop the Rumaila field, near the southern city of Basra, will potentially put Iraq on the path to rivalling the riches of Saudi Arabia within a decade - if the Government can fend off corrupt officials, continuing terrorist attacks on pipelines and political uncertainty.
Many Iraqi MPs say that the deal is illegal, and that the constitution should give them, not the Oil Minister, the final say over the country's vast resources.
BP will develop the field, believed to hold about 17 billion barrels of oil, with CNPC, a Chinese oil producer and supplier. Along with other agreements to be signed this year, BP's presence is forecast to increase Iraqi production from 2.5 million barrels a day to 7 million in about six years.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday warned that Israel Defense Forces soldiers who refused service or orders would contribute to the collapse of the State of Israel.
"The IDF was established on the basis of hierarchy in the ranks," said Netanyahu. "If you want to get rid of the IDF, then support refusal - it will bring about the collapse of the state."
Israel's security and existence are reliant on the IDF, said Netanyahu, and thus "there is absolutely no place" in the army for such behavior.

Another Israeli hilltop fortress
The US and UN have criticised Israel's approval of 900 extra housing units at a Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the move would hamper Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
Their remarks came after Israel's interior ministry approved planning applications for the new units.
The planning and construction committee authorised the expansion of Gilo, which is built on land captured in 1967.
The land was later annexed to the Jerusalem municipality.
Meanwhile, Israeli bulldozers have demolished two homes in East Jerusalem, a further cause of Palestinian anger.
