It’s nasty and perhaps a little unfair as it ignores sanctions, weapons to the Gulf and plenty of speechifying but like a great cartoon it goes right to the jugular.
Share it around.
Just goes to show where a little free technology and imagination can take you. Be inspired!

FreeMiddleEast calls Turkey on the physical genocide against Armenians, cultural genocide against Kurds and invasion and occupation of Northern Cyprus. When Turkey was still an ally of Israel the tendency was to ignore or excuse Turkish behaviour. I’m not sure that’s the best approach now. Thoughts?

The PLO Phased Plan
Now, more than ever, the world is looking to the Middle East with a critical eye towards Israel, and a blind one toward the reality that is the Palestinian political game. As the peace talks commence, people without an understanding of context or historical background of the conflict will see what Israel’s detractors want them to see, as illustrated in Time Magazine’s outrageous article: an Israel that doesn’t care about peace. Share this video with your friends and family to lend a more fully realized representation of the Israeli attitude and the justification behind it. G’mar Chatima tova!

Freedom begins with clarityThere’s nothing I can tell you about this group who work out of the public eye other than they are producing video advocacy that should be shared. Check out Free Middle East
Great stuff their site about Hamas, the Flotilla, Gilad Shalit, Oil and the UN, etc.
The first step to acquiring freedom is to gain clarity – to know what is true and what is false.
Let us journey together in the search for clarity.
Graphic artists:There is a poster competition starting for Israel Apartheid Week. We don’t link to Destroy Israel Lobby sites so you’ll have to Google Imaging Apartheid if you want to access the original site.
They do have a point when they say, Street level art work and design has consistently played a critical role within international solidarity movements throughout the world†: from the powerful poster art published by the Black Panthers in the late 1960s; to the striking design work created by artists inspired by the Africa National Congress (ANC) and the global movement against apartheid in South Africa; to poster art created to support the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)†.
Remember the war against Franco?
That’s the kind where each of us belongs.

Our suggestions:
This is the week for viral videos!Hopefully Five Minutes for Israel can persuade the makers of some of them to write about their experiences. News about videos reach us as they reach you through e-mail and social media. Your two Action Items are to pass them on and to be inspired to produce your own.
The first is Only Israel – by Yedida Freilich. It is produced by Sass Productions (hence the sass in the headline). I will try to post the lyrics ASAP. It turns the question frequently thrown at us by the Destroy Israel Lobby on its head. Why isn’t Israel held to the same rules as everyone else?†
So why is Israel the only country denied the right of self-defence?
The second An Island of Sanity – by Daniel Remer at Remervision Video Productions. (You guessed it: the sanity in the headline). It’s about what the Readers’ Digest used to call Laughter is the Best Medicine‡.
The third is a hat tip to Honest Reporting. And you thought Vuvuzelas were annoying Israel ratbags incite Palestinian children to get in the faces of IDF soldiers. When that doesn’t work the adults insult and push at the soldiers until the inevitable happens they get arrested. With the inciters out of sight the kids play soccer, totally unconcerned with the soldiers a few metres away. Normally Five Minutes for Israel will not link to a Destroy Israel Lobby video but this one is crying out for subtitles. For example the soldiers continually urging the adult inciters to ‘calm down’. Different languages and some shortening would help to.
Video gurus. Bonus points if you make this your Action Item.
One wonders if the film makers aren’t aware they are shooting themselves in the foot by putting evidence of the Pallywood nature of the demonstration on-line? The answer is probably not. Few in the MSM have any problems about broadcasting clearly manufactured material if it is anti-Israel.
Last but not least, a video I don’t doubt you have already seen and shared. Israeli Soldiers Dancing ft. Kesha – TICK TOCK (Rock the Casbah in Hebron) The guys have clearly broken any number of totally reasonable IDF regulations. However it is this commentator’s humble opinion that material,such as this, showing the IDF as they are, someone’s son, boyfriend, father, husband or lover, do us a mountain of good.

‡ Strictly off-topic. Does the Readers’ Digest still exist? I haven’t seen a copy for twenty years or more.
We have abandoned the three column design for the time being. Using the Atahualpa theme the first text block is grabbed when we post to Facebook. That meant that instead of content the reader caught the Guidelines for Comments (now here).
We loved the Israel flag look and the narrower central column but form must follow function. We are looking for a WordPress theme that is easily customisable by css.
Any WordPress experts want to advise us?
If you’re looking for sober, reflective, thoughts on the Middle East, Israel and the Palestinians, then we’re afraid you’re in the wrong place. How these issues are discussed, in particular how Israel is demonised, has become just too absurd.
