Israeli `Family Magazine` Fountains of Salvation Advocates Sending Arabs to Death Camps

The first step towards genocide is its articulation.

(BRIGHTON, UK) - No sooner have I finished blogging on one set of Nazi rabbis than another lot pop up. And whilst I’m teasing out the links between a religious ruling forbidding rent an apartment to Arabs and Nazi laws to do the same to Jews, then the Orthodox do my job for me.

I confess this blog has made something of a speciality of Israel’s racist and Nazi-like rabbis. Why? Because the Orthodox rabbinate are the ideological engine of Zionism today.

Israel`s Orthodox Rabbis: `Palestinians to the Ovens!`

“There is no such thing as civilians in wartime… A thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew’s fingernail!”
Rabbi Dov Lior of the Yesha Council & Kiryat Arba

(BRIGHTON, UK) - Back in the days of the Shoah, one of the slogans of the Jew haters was: “Jews to the Ovens.” Now, it causes me anguish to say, we have Israeli Orthodox rabbis saying the same about the Palestinians.

Thanks to Cicero for pointing me to a shocking passage in an Israeli Orthodox “family magazine,” Fountains of Salvation, which suggests that Israel will create death camps for Palestinians in order to wipe them out like Amalek.

`A Hopeful Palestinian Boy`

Follow up to yesterday's article; Giffords, Hurndall and Palestinian Children...

(SACRAMENTO) - My article about Palestinian children and others shot in the head by Israeli forces came out yesterday in CounterPunch.
Below is an especially moving response:

...The reason I'm writing you is to relate that sometimes the Israeli bullets kill children many years later. I met this Palestinian kid, Deya Ali, when I was active in the Palestine movement. He was shot by a settler. He was brought here in 2003  and received treatment at Mountain Side Hospital among others.

The Reality of Near Earth Objects

"Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end -From 'The End', written by Jim Morrison of The Doors

(SALEM, Ore.) - The Earth has been a stage where countless scenes have played out from a script that was written by fate. Every form of life will have its time in the sun, until changing conditions allow new species to reign.

When dinosaurs roamed unchallenged, ancestral mammals were insignificant creatures that scurried about in the shadows, biding their time.

B.C. Tops World in Cancer Survival Rates

BC Cancer Agency President Dr. David Levy says the key to B.C.'s success in controlling cancer is the close collaboration between researchers and doctors.

(VANCOUVER, B.C.) - When Nancy McKinstry got the phone call from her doctor five years ago with the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, she and her husband immediately started researching.

“Whatever it took, we wanted to get the best possible treatment to ensure I survived. We were prepared to go anywhere. Then we found out that we had the best possible outcomes available to us in B.C., in our own backyard. So here I am, five years later.”

Vera Macht Reports from Gaza

What about the safety of the people of Gaza? One wonders, living here. What about the safety of the children in the schools near the border that are shot at, of the pregnant women, over whom the F-16 circles?

(GAZA) - The air is filled with the noise of the Israeli F-16s, which are flying so low that it's almost like the air is trembling.

You can positively feel the bombs before they fall, before they explode with a horrendous bang, that is unmistakable, with a pressure wave that breaks the windows of the houses in the whole surrounding area, and makes the walls shake miles away.

VA Boosts Process for Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Claims
