      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Irish Teachers Union members are oblivious of the symbolic week they had picked to adopt an academic boycott1 on Israel. One may argue the justice behind this move; I’d argue it has nothing to do with justice. Even the grimmest Apartheid reality the Irish teachers may imagine to be going on in Israel would leave them with much more evil candidates for a boycott. But the Irish teachers would not boycott China for the unchallenged annihilation of Tibet and Tibetan culture, would not seek academic retaliation on Iraq and Egypt for a tsunami of fleeing Christians, they have no issues with Syria for the horrors we all know about -- it’s a gruesome, long list.]]></content:encoded>

One of the people sending Malek on his suicide mission that Sunday in 2002 was Maisara Abu Hamdiyeh. Hamdiyeh was arrested, convicted and imprisoned; on Wednesday he died of cancer in a hospital in Israel, at 64. His death triggered a series of prison riots.]]></content:encoded>

On Thursday morning the contrast between the two visions was clearly illustrated; Just a day later the violent alternative received a tremendous boost. <h3>Related Entries</h3>

There’s no doubt that the President had seen and heard a lot during his short visit. In his press conference with Netanyahu, Obama spoke unusually about that complexity of the Palestinian-Israeli issue; Hopefully he’d left the region with some new, first-hand insights into why this conflict is so damn unsolvable.]]></content:encoded>

Georg Mascolo from Der Spiegel asked the President about a 4:42 min video surfacing on the web of him making a case against Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, at the height of which he calls the Jews “the descendants of apes and pigs”. Morsi, clearly irritated by the question, clarified that he’s “not against the Jewish faith” and that "the quotes were taken out of context”, the real context being “the continuing Israeli attacks on Palestinians, the bloodshed of Palestinians.” (Watch the event here @~29:00)]]></content:encoded>

After forcing the German residents of nearby Weimer to witness the fresh Nazi atrocities in person, General Eisenhower withdrew his forces from the camp: In accordance with the Yalta agreement, the area was designated part of the Soviet occupation. Stalin immediately put the camp back to work, this time as Special Camp No. 2 of the NKVD. Death continued to reign there: over 7,000 prisoners perished in the Soviet Special Camp between 1945-1950. ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Perhaps it’ll turn out to be a positive step on the way to peace. Who knows? There was something relatively pleasing in seeing Mahmud Abbas - a person who can’t be accused of religious zeal and insanity - on the UN podium.<br />
But the Palestinian celebration at the UN was not a historical victory for the spirit of freedom and peace, neither was it a poetic moment of justice.<br />
<br />
“There was no need for another devastating war” Mahmud Abbas said at the UN, relating to the last violence around Gaza. Indeed, there was no need for any of the wars in the past 65 years: In 1947 the UN accepted resolution 181, which divided the British Mandate over what’s now Israel, the West-Bank and Gaza into the 2-states everybody’s talking about. It could’ve ended there - the Zionists agreed and established Israel, but the Arabs refused to compromise, Jordan annexed the West Bank, Egypt - Gaza, and that’s where the roots of the “State that is lacking”, as Abbas put it, are laid.]]></content:encoded>

<br />
"...Peace through people, one by one. All the wars, missiles, targeted executions etc have got us where exactly? Mere pyrrhic victories that sustain the cycle of cycle of hatred, division and violence. It's time we all opened our eyes to a different solution and way forward."]]></content:encoded>

A salute of that sort to a nascent democracy is natural and understandable, as intuitive as bundling Egyptian democracy with the prospects of tolerance, progress and peace in Egypt. It’s not always so. Democracy and the evolutionary ideas we associate with it have been “un-bundled” before - In the West, and certainly in the rest of the world. ]]></content:encoded>
