Mixed bag of news and actions this week- Pick and choose
“We came and turned the native Arabs into tragic refugees. And still we
dare to slander and malign them, to besmirch their name. Instead of being
deeply ashamed of what we did and trying to undo some of the evil we
committed we justify our terrible acts and even attempt to glorify them.”
Nathan Chofshi, 9 February 1959
REFLECTIONS: US Vice President finally came to our region after some delays
because no one would receive him accept his Zionist paymasters. It took
four weeks of pressure for him to get the meetings with the Egyptian
dictator Sisi and the Jordanian king Abdullah. Egypt was easier than
Jordan. Jordan had essentially expelled the Israeli ambassador after a
Israeli guard murdered two Jordanians. The compromise made with Zionist
pressure (Zionist Kushner and Zionist Greenblatt) was a half-hearted
“regret” from the Israeli government and some compensation money. This
after Netanyahu still considers te Israeli murders of Jordanians as a
heroic action and there will be no penalty for the murderer (mark my
words). Anyways like many things, the Zionists carry big sticks and Pence
finally came to dictate te will of his masters. Some people attribute his
slavishness to his Christian Zionist up-bringing. But like Harry Truman who
claimed in public that he supported Zionism (against advise of all people
around him) for religious reason and to help the “poor Jews”, in private he
articulated exactly why he did this: Zionists had money and power over US
media to help him win election. Same for Pence and Netanyahu (or Obama for
that matte). These politicians have no morals and they work for Rothschild
than for their own public. My wish is that Arab leaders would learn that
standing up to Zionists (and by extension to Washington which is also
Zionist occupied territory) is not only possible but is an existential
necessity!! We should learn from Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela, Lebanon, Yemen,
and China the meaning of dignity! Working on these big existential problems
can be done by thinking globally and acting locally as we are doing here at

It’s very simple – we walked from London to Jerusalem – 3,300km, across 11
countries in 147 days, to ask for full equal rights for everybody who calls
the Holy Land home. This is the story.
