When Jerusalem became the land of doubt
It is well known that whenever Jerusalem is mentioned, the words holy and faith always accompany it. In reality when talking about the situation of people and specifically the situation of thousands of Palestinians who are living under occupation since 1967, it is a different story.

After Sixty Three Years of Occupation Israel still does not understand
After sixty-three years of occupation and conflict, Israel still does not understand what is the cost of its daily occupation of the Palestinian lands and continues to go in the wrong way to gain temporary security benefits.

Israel’s Current Economical Crises’ reason: Occupying the Palestinian lands

Netanyahu’s Government Laws: Pure Fascism
It seems that the current Israeli government is obsessed to pass as much laws as possible until everything is controlled and no act is allowed to protest against the Israeli right projects. The Knesset passed a new law called “The Boycott Law” that punishes anyone or organization that calls for a boycott on Israel or the settlements.
Israel Prime Minister declared today without any hesitation that he supported the law and wanted it to pass. According to him, Netanyahu sees in the new law as a line that is drawn between what is acceptable and what is not. Netanyahu’s prejudice made him say that if he didn’t approve the law it would

Goldstone, Israel’s Fantasy World and Israeli Settlers
It seems that the Israeli community is still going towards the right. Actually the Israeli rightists are not like any other rightists known through the world. The [singlepic id=514 w=320 h=240 float=right] Israeli right and extreme parties live in a world of their own; their Fantasy world where they legislate what they want, deny what they want and believe what they want.
There are many Israelis if not the majority that are living in this world nowadays. Those who join the formers in this world justify their decision by saying that they need someone strong and extreme to make them the best deal that can be made with Palestinians. In this world you see people who are completely
