Mondoweiss: On Nakba Day: �World must pay its historic debt to Palestinians� by Kate

***** WND: Sequel to 'Islamic Antichrist' now available. 'Mideast Beast' by Joel Richardson on sale � autographed. (There is grotesque misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and misrepresentation of Islam by both the Muslim and the Western Worlds, especially in the Zionist propaganda that follows the guidance of pagan god Yahwa, and not the true guidance of the God of Abraham. Religion is about human rational and judicious intellect, psychology and behavior. Animals don�t have religion. True Islam according to the Quran calls for taming, refining, and fine tuning human behavior. It calls for.

1. True belief in the almighty, all-encompassing and all-knowing one and only creator, designer God maker of the laws governing the universe as universally uniting force.

2. True belief in the authenticity, validity, advantages and rewards of divine guidance as inspired and revealed in organization, order ad discipline of cosmic constituencies, and commitment to compliance by the cosmic rules.

3. Upholding the rules of peaceful coexistence,

4. Maintaining compassionate generous, voluntary and charitable sharing and giving of the available wealth of natural resources,

5. Honest collective, mutual, democratic cooperation, collaboration and coordination towards maintaining the overall welfare and wellbeing of humanity, and building the ideal fair, just and equitable human society with its universal, benevolent civilization as a true commitment to the rules of divine guidance.

6. It is important to understand that prayers, fasting and pilgrimage are mere rallying disciplinary reminders of divine guidance, and not free pass to the (paradise) of life after death. A copy of the Holy Quran was retained by US President Thomas Jefferson.)

***** Huffpost: Religion Is a Potent Force for Ingroup Cooperation and Intergroup Conflict, Science Article Maintains. (Animals don't have religion, humans do. Human behavior of doing right or wrong depends on human psychology. Human psychology was shaped during the Homo erectus stage of evolution by the individual's need for survival against environmental vicissitudes, and competing humans and animals; and by the individual�s psychology driven by ones insecurity, fear and propensity for attacks, theft, and usurpation of others' rights and possessions satisfy one�s self-centered greed, desire and special interests and gain illegitimate influence and affluence. Religion is a divine way to tame the human behavior and fine tune it through rational and judicious inspiration and revelation to discover God and follow His rules of divine guidance. Unfortunately, humans refuse to make full use of their intellect, like their backward state of conflicts, confrontation and collision and prefer to stay in the unborn embryologic stage of Homo sapient evolution)

Palestine is as much an American problem, as it is an Israeli and Palestinian problem,

On one hand, it is about the hundreds of villages that were razed in 1948 and the hundreds of thousands of refugees who lost their homes. On the other hand, Palestinians continue to suffer the Nakba daily - the separation of families, continuous confiscations of land and settlements choking every Palestinian village and town.

OpEdNews: Your Hard-Earned US Tax Dollars and Church Pension Funds at Work for Israel.

Israel

Haaretz: The winners and losers in Netanyahu's surprise move for unity with Kadima. Mofaz and Kadima are the big winners in the surprise move, along with the Prime Minister; on the losing side, Yair Lapid and his new political party - Yesh Atid, and the Israel Labor Party.

Haaretz: After Netanyahu-Mofaz deal, ultra-Orthodox parties must contend with waning political power. Shas is a middle-sized faction with 11 MKs in a coalition of 94, and United Torah Judaism�s situation is worse. Even without the Haredi faction, Netanyahu is left with 78 votes in the plenum.

Haaretz: Formation of Israeli unity cabinet shows Netanyahu blinked first, again. Netanyahu hates taking chances. He'll always prefer playing it safe and avoiding uncertain situations. As far as he's concerned, the results speak to his favor. Fact is, he's still in power, and will stay there for a long time.

Haaretz: Netanyahu, stunning Israel by forging unity bloc, defends move as pro-stability. At Jerusalem press conference, Prime Minister says move to cancel early elections, form government with Kadima can promote revised Tal Law; Mofaz: Time has come to change Israel's agenda.
