Yes, #BoycottGermany. Because this Deep State has disabled its own Democracy and is a Danger to all others, too.

It´s legitimate to boycott a country that has become a danger to others financially and economically. But spare out the artists and sports.

Berlin: Most people outside, even inside of Germany don´t know, that every party in German parliament (the Bundestag) has already questioned our constitution, the „Grundgesetz“ (Basic Law). Every single political party and faction in Bundestag is calling for a systemic change towards a paneuropean continental block, a „United Europe“.

By that, the German „political class“, the nomenclatura, not only questions our own democracy, the Berlin Republic as we say, but also each and everyone in its area of influence. So, you can call our nomenclatura putschists. In fact, you should. Because that´s the (geo)strategic background of the ongoing coup in Greece. And if this coup has been carried out successful and completely, you can be damn sure it won´t be the last on the continent. Take not just Greece, but also Ukraine as an example, a blueprint. „Yes, #BoycottGermany. Because this Deep State has disabled its own Democracy and is a Danger to all others, too.“ weiterlesen

Tahrir Square, Tel Aviv

AMRAM MITZNA is a nice guy. He is modest and radiates credibility. He reminds one of the late Lova Eliav, the Secretary General of the Labor party who quit the party in disgust. Like Eliav, he has a lot of practical achievements to his credit – Eliav built the Lakhish area villages in South-Central Israel, Mitzna volunteered to administer the remote town of Yerucham deep in the Negev.

“Buji” Hertzog is also a good guy. He is a scion of a genuine Jewish aristocratic family, in the positive sense of the word; his grandfather was a Chief Rabbi, his father the President of Israel. A person whose deeds as Minister for Welfare speak for themselves – even though he has an unfortunate habit of running – after every action – to tell his (American) friends, as the Wikileak papers disclose. (This is an allusion to a classic Israeli joke: “Why do Israeli men finish so quickly? Because they can‘t wait to run and tell their friends.”) „Tahrir Square, Tel Aviv“ weiterlesen

The Settler State

THE OTHER day, the almighty General Security Service (Shabak, formerly Shin Bet) needed a new boss. It is a hugely important job, because no minister ever dares to contradict the advice of the Shabak chief in cabinet meetings.

There was an obvious candidate, known only as J. But at the last moment, the settlers’ lobby was mobilized. As director of the “Jewish department” J. had put some Jewish terrorists in prison. So his candidature was rejected and Yoram Cohen, a kippah-wearing darling of the settlers was appointed instead. „The Settler State“ weiterlesen

“Islam is the Solution”

FIRST, AN apology: I am not going to write about the Wikileaks.
I like gossip as much as the next (wo)man. The leaks provide a lot of it, interspersed with some real information.
But there is nothing really new there. The information only confirms what any intelligent person could have worked out already. If there is anything new, it’s exactly this confirmation: the world is really managed the way we thought it was. How depressing. „“Islam is the Solution”“ weiterlesen

Bread and the Circus

I WAS surprised when, towards the end of 1975, I received an invitation from the Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, to meet him at his residence. He opened the door himself, poured me a glass of whisky, poured one for himself, and without any further ado asked me:
“Tell me, Uri, have you decided to destroy all the doves in the Labor Party?” „Bread and the Circus“ weiterlesen

A Parliamentary Mob

WHEN I was first elected to the Knesset, I was appalled at what I found. I discovered that, with rare exceptions, the intellectual level of the debates was close to zero. They consisted mainly of strings of clichés of the most commonplace variety. During most of the debates, the plenum was almost empty. Most participants spoke vulgar Hebrew. When voting, many members had no idea what they were voting for or against, they just followed the party whip. „A Parliamentary Mob“ weiterlesen
