Rootless Cosmopolitan - By Tony Karon: May 15, 11:24am 5 reviews blogs, middle-east, israel, zionism, tony-karon
http://www.tonykaron.com/; The curious irony of history is that while the Zionist movement managed to successfully create a nation state in the Middle East against considerable odds, that movement is dead — the majority of Jews quite simply don’t want to be part of a Jewish nation-state in the Middle East. And so the very purpose of Israel has come into question. Jewish immigration to Israel is at an all-time low, and that’s unlikely to change. In a world where persecution of Jews is increasingly marginal, the majority of Jews prefer to live scattered among the peoples, rather than in an ethnic enclave of our own. That’s what we’ve chosen. So where does this leave Israel? Tony Karon

Annies letters: May 7, 6:46am 2 reviews blogs, middle-east, israel, palestine, zionism
http://annies-letters.blogspot.com/; Next week is the 60th anniversary of Palestine's grief and Annie's Letters is a blog that fills in the blanks for those who care to look past the celebrations of Israel's birth -- which are being trumpeted everywhere. The 60th anniversary of Al-Nakba: the disaster of the people of Palestine. On this date, May 15th 1948, we, the people of Palestine began our long and painful journey into exile. Dispossessed from home and homeland, this was the start of the refugee `problem' that still exists today. So as Israel "celebrates", we mourn the disgraceful fact that more than 3 million Palestinians still languish as refugees in squalid conditions in what were supposed to be "temporary camps" in Palestine and throughout the Arab world. The world seems to have "forgotten" the promise made to them, enshrined in International Law and United Nations Resolution 194, The Right of Return of Palestinian refugees to the homes, lands, and villages which they were forced to leave. My own grandmother and the grandparents of my children were forcibly expelled from their ancestral village of Lifta, leaving their homes, lands, and belongings as they fled in fear. The villages empty homes were looted of their contents before holes were blown in the roofs and floors of these houses by the Zionist forces . . ." -- Mike Odetalla
