The Moskowitz Menace, Jewish Settlements & Middle East Peace

user-pic

Video journalist Max Blumenthal talks to many in the Jewish settler movement who put it all out there. Winners of the Moskowitz Prize state frankly that they want to continue the ethnic cleansing of Occupied Territories -- and young kids parrot the meme that Palestinians have no right to lands that are Israel's holy lands.

This cult of land expropriators needs to be rolled back. I understand the realities that there are certain settlements that will remain part of Israel when a Palestinian state is created -- but in a fair land swap.

But the expansion of settlements that "bingo tycoon" Irving Moskowitz keeps pushing is undermining the security interests of all parties in the region -- particularly Israel's.

Blumenthal's work is some of the most vital and creative journalism out there today.

so they have become what they hate and despise... little hitlers willing to cleanse the lands of those who are not part of their accepted 'clan'. Someone must hold up a mirror...

Too bad the US has mirror gazing and accountability of its own to face so it's not something we can easily recommend.
