Hebron, Palestinian Territories
Some historical sources of interest:
from the Travels of Benjamin (circa 1170)
Benjamin of Tudela relates: "At Hebron there is a large place of worship called 'St. Abraham,' The natives erected there six sepulchers, which they tell foreigners are those of the Patriarchs and their wives, demanding money as a condition of seeing them…
Tushar Have to say that having the coeoictlln list handy when I go into the store is nice so that I can pull all I want in the back issues and other boxes and then flip through to make sure I'm not getting any duplicates.
re: 28 February 2011Rosie Let us mercifully draw the sheet over the PSF-ish conotntiens that the relationship of Venezuela and Libya was strictly diplomatic and economic, somewhat like that done by many other countries, only a bit more close, in the hopes of opposing unipolarity with a concerted voice.Not that such business as done with a tyrant like Gaddaffi by Italy, France and the UK was not wrong, especially when they sold weapons. Only that allying yourself with that guy is morally repugnant. And calling him brother , figure THAT out.Hey! Maybe we can rehabilitate even Mussolini's (or Stalin's) legacy in front of such an gullible understanding bunch. Benito only allied Italy with the wrong guy in hopes of building an alternative to plutocratic democracy and capitalism, after all The consequences for Italy were not that bad, were they?
re: Taxi Driver reading new on LibyaRung wolf hybrids are the best dogs in the world (besides pitulbls lol) my mother owned one for 11 years. seth was a Northern grey timber wolf/ belgium shepard. the bond that they had between them was unbelievable. and the way that they communicate with you, its almost as if they know what we are saying. and the love and loyalty that they demonstrate truly makes them a part of the family. and our boy had the gentlest soul imaginable. he even befriended a canadian goose. i cant wait till you guys have another litter of pups, i am defiantly buying one. seth passing away has left a hole in the family and we cant wait to bring another one home.

re: 3 March 2011Chayanan Israel has 300 nukes and wants to prevent Iran from defnndieg itself. Iran has not attacked anyone. I hope Iran gets at least as many nukes as Israel has. I think what Israel is doing is horrible. The second amazing thing is how Rose Goetemoeller managed to turn every call that was critical of Israel into a condemnation of Iran. Goetemoeller did not say the word Israel one single time, in response to those questions; she DID manage to spin every reference to Israel into another reason why IRAN is a threat to whirled peas and must be treated with all options on the table. She endorsed Dennis Ross's half-page op-ed in NYT that said MORE SANCTIONS ON IRAN please, it will work, the regime is starting to feel the pinch . . . Apparently the hasbara high command has been stressing their collective brain cells to come up with a counteroffensive to the Israel = apartheid South Africa; South Africa was taken down with boycotts; BDS Israel.' Rose Goetemoeller rolled out a rationale for sanctioning Iran that I had not heard before: she said the when it became known that South Africa might be developing nukes, the world community became alarmed and rallied to impose constraints on South Africa's economy. The strategy worked, South Africa de-nuked without the necessity of waging war. We hope the same thing will work with Iran. But, Mz Goetemoeller, what you did NOT relate is that ISRAEL WAS PARTICIPATING WITH S AFRICA in SA's nuclear program!!Conclusions: 1. The people of the US are WAKING UP and SPEAKING OUT against Israel and the wild injustice of nuclear Israel threatening non-nuclear Iran.2. Goetemoeller is in the tank for Israel.3. Sadly sadly sadly, so is not only C Span, which we have realized for some time, but so is lovely Susan Swain, the moderator on today's interview with Goetemoeller, who both led and followed Goetemoeller's every dance step and pivot away from criticizing Israel and toward demonizing Iran.
