Antichrists in the Air Force and Just Who Would Jesus Bomb?

“Christ, you know it ain't easy. You know how hard it can be. The way things are going, they're gonna crucify me.”-John Lennon

Palestine, Israel, Germany- The Boundaries of Open Discussion

This is a very important conference!!!

(FREIBURG, Germany) - Freedom of speech and expression are recognised by many as primary human rights. However, when it comes to discussion on topics concerning Palestine, Israel and Germany we often face rigid and concrete boundaries that clearly suppress free and creative discourse.

We somehow grasp what we are allowed to say but are also conscious of a variety of thoughts we better keep unsaid.

Libyan Forum 101 - Student Questions From Tripoli

Libyans demand answers from the White House, NATO and even from the distrusted western media housed in Tripoli’s Rexis Hotel.

(AL NASSER UNIVERSITY, Tripoli) - "When I grow up, I want to be just like you guys,” this increasingly flaccid middle-aged American visitor joked to his teenage to early 30’s Libyan interlocutors, as we parted last night and promised to meet again soon to continue our dialogue on our chosen subject of “What the hell is going on in Libya and why?”

Except I wasn’t entirely joking and I felt wistful as I reflected on our latest five-hour conversation that seemed like it began only 30 minutes earlier.

Huseyin Oruç talks to Silvia Cattori- Whenever the Palestinians need it, the Mavi Marmara will go

"The Turkish ship Mavi Marmara will continue to challenge the Gaza blockade ... Whenever the Palestinians need it, the Mavi Marmara will go..."

(LONDON) - In mid June, Bülent Yıldırım, chairman of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation, declared that the “Mavi Marmara” ship, which was hard hit in the Israeli raid, could not take part in the “Freedom flotilla II” but will “definitely set sail for Gaza when it completes repair and maintenance works.”

Was it a realistic decision for the flotilla organizers to set sail without the “Mavi Marmara”? Huseyin Oruç, deputy of the Turkish Humanitarian Relief Foundation explains his position in this interview.

What Happened to Caring about Humanity, President Obama?

Obama turned his back on the children of Palestine, no matter how you size it up...

(SALEM, Ore.) - Barack Obama might as well just drive a knife in the back of humanity. The audacity of this man that people once believed in, "demanding" that Turkey not hold Israel responsible for its deadly attack on an unarmed ship that left nine dead, is simply too much.

Israel's Ha'aretz reported Tuesday that Obama is demanding for Turkey to its crisis with Israel in order to avoid any further deterioration in the relations between the two countries.

Freedom of Speech and our Rights to Privacy Under Attack

All under the pretense of "security" or for "catching criminals"...

(SEOULE, South Korea) - The Bible predicts there will come a time where information will flow like never before but at the same time their will come a wicked, evil man with supernatural power over the weather and governments with agendas to rule the world and force people to accept his ruler ship and accept him as God and worship him as God or face execution.

If one looks at past dictators from Stalin to Hitler etc, they all have the same patterns in order to rule.
