Arrest Alexian Lien for Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter: Give the Motorcyclists in NYC Justice

Does having a baby in your Ranger SUV give you a right to kill?

(TUCSON) - The motorcyclists may have been reckless in NYC but the attack against the driver of a black Range Rover who ran down a number of people intentionally, was a spontaneous reaction to an arrogant, extremely dangerous hit and run motorist.

Media and the public seem to believe that the driver of a car had a right to bash cyclists with thousands of pounds of steel because he was scared, I call foul. Those motorcyclists weren't out to hurt some guy's family, that is a sensational and ridiculous assertion, and it is being repeated endlessly in electronic media and press.

Hanna Arendt and Jewish Intolerance

(London Redress) - In  1961 the German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt travelled to Jerusalem to cover the trial of Adolf Eichmann for the New Yorker. Margarethe von Trotta’s  new docudrama, Hannah Arendt, tells the story of her journey and the controversy following her report.

Children First

This article is not a condonation or justification of any form of discrimination or persecution against people with various sexual orientations or disorders...

(LONDON) - For whatever reason, I often find myself engaged in writing about taboo topics which very few are willing to touch, and expressing “politically incorrect” views, which no one is willing to even ponder about, this article is just one of those.

One of the main reasons that pushed me to speed up and write this article, besides its core subject, the welfare of children, is my observation of some huge efforts which have been exerted to make the issue of “sexual orientation” an integral part of the Palestinian struggle for Liberation!
