Zionist Attack Against The Sunday Times

Israel demands the British Journal for apology after publishing a cartoon. The cartoon shows hypocrisy. While Netanyahu was walking in the front lines in Paris march, he built a bloody wall in Palestine.

“The newspaper should apologize for this. We’re not going to let this stand as it is,” Israeli Ambassador to London Daniel Taub told The Times of Israel in a telephone interview. “We genuinely think that a red line has been crossed and the obligation on the newspaper is to correct that.”

"Four reasons why U.K. cartoon of Netanyahu isn't anti-Semitic in any way", Anshel Pfeffer of Haartz wrote.

Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch, the well-known billionaire and the owner of many corporate media (including the British Sunday Times) apologized to Israel.
Murdoch  wrote on Twitter that the cartoonist, Gerald Scarfe – a veteran who frequently depicts blood in his work – did not reflect the paper's editorial line. "Nevertheless, we owe major apology for grotesque, offensive cartoon," Murdoch tweeted.

In a statement, the paper's acting editor, Martin Ivens, said that insulting the memory of Holocaust victims or invoking blood libel was "the last thing I or anyone connected with the Sunday Times would countenance".

"The paper has long written strongly in defence of Israel and its security concerns, as have I as a columnist," Ivens said. "We are, however, reminded of the sensitivities in this area by the reaction to the cartoon, and I will of course bear them very carefully in mind in future."

Mikael Rivero of What Really Happened wrote:
"Media sources said the Israeli strikes also targeted government facilities and ministries, media outlets, mosques and even homes of senior political leaders of Hamas, including the deputy head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismael Haniyya.

Medical sources said resident Ezzat Dheir, a 23-year-old journalist, working for a local radio, was killed along with four members of his family, after an Israeli missile striking his home.

The slain Palestinians have been identified as:

1. Ezzat Dheir, 23, Rafah.
2. Turkeyya Dheir, 80, Rafah.
3. Yasmeen Dheir, 25, Rafah.
4. Mary Dheir, 12, Rafah.
5. Tasneem Dheir, 8, Rafah.
Where is the outrage and millions in the streets for these slain journalists?"

Education In U.S. Vs U.K.

My university is based on the British curricula, besides that I was reading American books as the language is more simplified and further directed.

My impression is that, generally speaking, the American educational institutions don't give much attention to the shape and appearance, but they care about the content very well. Whereas, the UK's institutions give special attention to the shape and "recommendation letters" for example. 

I think this is one of the advantages of the American educational system, in comparison with the British and commonwealth's institutions, other than America's relatively easier naturalization laws, which attracted many think-tanks and scientists. For example, many German Jewish scientists headed to the U.S. during the NAZI's era and Einstein was just one of them.

Does The Rise Of UKIP Mean That The British Are Really Free To Govern Themselves?

Western democracy is, for the most part, a depraved form of plutocratic rule. The corporate-owned mainstream media oligopoly and the state-controlled education system indoctrinate the plebs with the idea that government is in the hands of the people. Then the people are offered a choice among mainstream parties owned and paid for by the money power: the banks, the global corporations, and the politically engaged billionaires. What those mainstream parties offer are interchangeable platforms dressed up to appear in the public interest but designed to serve the interests of  the money power. Only if public pressure for significant deviation from the plutocratic line becomes intense will the leadership promise a change of course, a promise more often than not to be honored in the breach.

In Britain today, the contradiction between the interest of the money power and the people is stark. The people of England, like those of most other European states, are the victims of an ongoing genocide by mass immigration, multi-culturalism and public policies that depress the fertility of the indigenous population. The process has already gone more than half-way to completion in the cities of London, Leicester and Luton, and Birmingham, England's second city where only one school-age child in three is ethnically English, will soon join the list.

United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP)
Public opposition to mass immigration has been loud and clear for decades and now totals 70% of the population, including the majority of immigrants. At the last election the current Prime Minister said that the problem must be "gripped." But clearly he is a liar or a feebleton without grip, since net immigration to the UK today is at an all-time high.

In the past, the only political party in Britain that campaigned against mass immigration to Britain was the British National Party (BNP), a near Nazi outfit almost certainly run by MI5, which, at the last election, threw whatever chances it had by means of a series of truly bizarre antics by the party leader, Nick Griffin, antics that could only have been intended confirm the mainstream media claim that the party was a neo-Nazi outfit, led by loons and buffoons surrounded by knuckle-dragging thugs.

Now Britain is witnessing the rise of a new anti-genocide party, the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), which is a much more serious contender than the BNP, having just won the national elections to the European Parliament. Moreover, the party leader, Nigel Farage, has given no hostages to fortune in the way of fascistic remarks or loony behavior. On the contrary, he speaks of immigrants and of Europe from whence most immigrants to Britain come, in terms of friendship and reason.

The question, then, is this: does UKIP represent a real opportunity for the British people to put some meaning into the term "democratic government," or is Farage programmed either to take UKIP down at a critical moment, or to transform UKIP into another agent of the plutocracy once ensconced in power?

It will be interesting to watch as next year's national election approaches. So far, Farage has offered only straight talk and good sense, suggesting both sincere patriotism and an intelligence in excess of that of the combined IQ of the mainstream party leaders.

George Galloway Will Vote 'No' To Palestine Recognition

George Galloway, Pro-Palestine British MP issued a statement on Oct., 10, 2014. He justified his rejection to recognize 'State of Palestine'.
George Galloway

However, unfortunately I cannot support this motion as it accepts recognition of the state of Israel, does not define borders of either state or address the central question of the right of return of the millions of Palestinians who have been forced to live outside Palestine.
Israel was a state born in 1948 out of the blood of the Palestinians who were hounded from their land. Since then it has grabbed ever more land from the Palestinian people. In the last five years it has twice launched murderous assaults on the Palestinian people of Gaza, some 1.8 million people crammed into what is in effect a prison camp. In the wake of the most recent war on Gaza, Israel has announced its biggest land grab in the Occupied West Bank so far. Israel has defied UN resolution after UN resolution with impunity because of the continued backing of Western countries and, above all, the US.
