peony commented on the diary post Fighting the Duopoly: An Interview with the Vermont Progressive Party by Liberal Arts Dude.
We are a small state, but we abolished slavery as a state, and that eventually led the nation. We led the nation on civil unions for same-sex couples, and then we were the first to pass marriage equality without court order; the nation is slowly following. We may well be the first state to have [...]

What I would like to ask Alex Selsky when he says “All we want is quiet,” is: If the Palestinians stop firing rockets, would Israel acknowledge the human rights of Palestinians, end its discrimination and violence, and stop taking Palestinians’ land? and, if the roles were reversed, would Israel resist non-violently? (not that I would [...]

Here at Narco News we are now in our twelfth year of reporting alongside authentic grassroots movements that continue year in, year out, that go through peaks and valleys, and seasons outside of the attention of the mass media spectacle.
From just an initial, brief look at the website, looks like these movements he’s talking about [...]

peony commented on the blog post Israel-Gaza Ceasefire Comes with Pledge from Obama to Seek More Defense Aid for Israel
I left a link for the video, if you really want to know about the two sets of laws in Israel, one for Jewish citizens and another for Arab citizens of Israel. But, I doubt you do.
The amazing thing is that if it so bad for them in Israel as you claim, why have not any Arab citizens of Israel left and gone to an Arab country where I suppose you believe they would be so much better off ?
I am not claiming anything. It is Peled, an Israeli citizen and an eye witness who has reported on the two-tiered system of justice in Israel, one for Jews and one for Arabs. Do you know any Arab citizens or talked with any of them? I doubt it.

Arab citizens of Israel have the same rights as Jewish citizens of Israel.
With all due respect, this is a falsehood. Miko Peled is the author of The General’s Son, and had a father who was the highly regarded Israeli general, Matti Peled. He is an Israeli citizen, and describes in the video the rights and privileges he as an Israeli citizen enjoys, vs. the denial of these same rights to Arab citizens living in Israel. Peled details what it’s actually like for Palestinians living in Israel as an eye witness.
Can you make the same claim?

peony commented on the diary post What Ceasefire…? by CTuttle.
The on-again, off-again cease-fire between Israel and Hamas is off, Hamas terrorist sources said Tuesday night.
According to Izat a-Rishk, a spokesperson for the Hamas terror government…
As talk of the cease-fire faded, the IDF increased its hammering of Gaza terror sites.
Between 9 and 11 PM Tuesday, the IDF carried out more than 50 bombing forays on targets in Gaza. Twenty terrorists [...]

Obama defends its consequences or his second-term agenda and his legacy?
…Clearly, Obama has been compelled to fall back on the one-sided US policy of putting all the blame on Hamas for triggering the present crisis and by justifying Israel’s ‘right to defend’. More fundamentally, however, this also has the potential to become an Obama-Netanyahu duel, [...]

Sorry. Forgot to preview. The paragraph beginning with “Enantiodromia” should be in quotes, and the sentence beginning with “dare we hope.”

Well said.
today, we have those who were once oppressed being the oppressors …
Jung coined a term for that phenomena: Enantiodromia. Literally, “running counter to,” referring to the emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time. This characteristic phenomenon practically always occurs when an extreme, one-sided tendency dominates conscious life; in time an [...]

According to Salon, at the last minute in Ohio, “uncertified ‘experimental’ software patches” were installed on electronic vote tabulation systems in a number of counties in Ohio. And, the polls as I recall showed Obama ahead by just a few points. I was expecting a repeat of Ohio 2004 and was very surprised that didn’t [...]
