and that they would do whatever was necessary  to stop the aid ships from reaching the strip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel has had a  blockade against most humanitarian aid reaching the Gaza Strip for  years, and at times the Israeli Navy has attacked aid ships that got too  near the tiny enclave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel’s military today lifted a “gag  order” on the arrest of a Turkish citizen weeks ago whom they have &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;accused of being a member of a humanitarian  group&lt;/span&gt;. Shin Bet alleged that the group is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;plotting to send a shipload of humanitarian  aid to the strip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel has previously arrested  people for attempting to provide aid to the strip, including a June 30  incident in which they captured former US Congresswoman Cynthia  McKinney. She was charged with “illegally entering Israel” even though  the boat she was on was captured by the Israeli Navy and forced to dock  in Israel. The aid was seized by the government.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HHHCc8B-QY" class="postlink"&gt;Palestinians  mark Nakba&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (Al Jazeera - May 15, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/5HHHCc8B-QY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;hd=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/5HHHCc8B-QY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HHHCc8B-QY"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HHHCc8B-QY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palestinians  across the world are marking on Saturday the 62nd anniversary of Nakba,  which means catastrophe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1948, hundreds of thousands of  Palestinians were displaced and many became refugees due to the  formation of the state of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mass gatherings commemorating  the day of "catastrophe" in the West Bank and Gaza displayed a rare  instance of unity between various political factions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al  Jazeera's Nour Odeh reports from Beit Jala, a town in the West Bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3891264,00.html" class="postlink"&gt;Culture minister: Elvis Costello &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;unworthy&lt;/span&gt; of performing in Israel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(ynetnews  - May 18, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;Culture and Sports  Minister Limor Livnat criticized singer Elvis Costello for calling off  his concerts in Israel.

Today, Israel  contains the largest Jewish community in the world.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His position  at the top of the Post 50, the PMO said, was an honor that testified to  “the profound transformation that has occurred in the reality of life  for the Jewish people over the last 62 years.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately  following the prime minister at the top of the list are Federal Reserve  Chairman Ben Bernanke, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Google  founder Sergey Brin and alternative energy pioneer Shai Agassi, founder  of Better Place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishFeatures/Article.aspx?id=175871" class="postlink"&gt;The 50 Most Influential jews in the World&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  (Jerusalem Post - May 18, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;The  Jerusalem Post's first annual list of those who are shaping the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  story is told, in several cultural variations, of a Jewish man spotting  a friend reading an Arabic newspaper. “Moshe, have you lost your mind?”  he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Well, I used to read the Jewish papers, but what did  I find?” Moshe replies. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Jews being  persecuted, Israel being attacked, Jews disappearing through  assimilation, Jews living in poverty. So I switched to an Arab  newspaper. Now what do I find? Jews own the banks, Jews control the  media, Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule the world. The news is  so much better!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In what is planned as an annual media  event, The Jerusalem Post has chosen the world’s leading 50 Jewish  “movers and shakers” based on a range of criteria, including personal  access to power, ability to exert influence and individual talent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Post’s list of the 50 most influential Jews in the world was not  designed to feed the anti-Semitic stereotype that Jews control the  world.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Our list is headed by Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin  Netanyahu. Netanyahu has become well known around the world for his  political dexterity and eloquence in English.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;In his response  to being chosen by The Jerusalem Post and our Internet readership around  the world on jpost.com as the most influential Jew in the world,  Netanyahu told our reporter, Herb Keinon: “The fact that the Prime  Minister of the State of Israel is viewed as being the world’s most  influential Jew is a historic vindication of the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;miracle of Zionism&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It may be no historic accident that the  leader of the most powerful nation in the world, Barack Obama, recently  approved a second term for Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chairman, and  chose Jews to be his closest advisers&lt;/span&gt;: Rahm Emanuel, the tough  White House chief of staff, David Axelrod, his savvy political adviser  and Dan Shapiro, the top Middle East expert on the National Security  Council.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also happens to be friendly with several Jewish  leaders, including Alan Solow and Lee Rosenberg, who are both on our  list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second on the list is Bernanke, the man who holds the purse  strings of the richest nation on the planet and is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;credited with steering the US out of a severe  financial crisis&lt;/span&gt;. He is followed by Emanuel, who arguably  has the most influence on the American president – and certainly has his  ear whenever he needs it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AS WE CELEBRATE Shavuot, when the  Jewish people received the Torah on Mount Sinai from Moses, the most  famous Jew in history, we can only pray that those on our list use their  influence to better the world and help Israel and the Jewish people  serve as a light unto the nations.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;The world Jewish population  is estimated at being 02. percent of the total populace – some 13.5  million, with just over 5.7 million in Israel, 5.6 million in the US,  half a million in Russia and France, 280,000 in the UK and 200,000 in  Germany.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet in Vanity Fair’s latest list of the 100 most  powerful people in the world, 51 are Jews. Ten of the 50 people on this  year’s Forbes’ annual billionaires list are Jewish. Of the 802 Nobel  prizes handed out to date, 162 have gone to Jews.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Four years  ago, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt shook the Jewish world by writing  a paper, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, on what they  perceived as the exaggerated influence of the Jewish lobby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After  being named by the pair as a key member of the media wing of the Israel  lobby, Mortimer Zuckerman – a former head of the Conference of  Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations – replied  sardonically: “I would just say this: The allegations of this  disproportionate influence of the Jewish community remind me of the  92-year-old man sued in a paternity suit. He said he was so proud, he  pleaded guilty.”&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;How much influence do Jews wield in the  world, and how influential are those on our list?

They are schooled, drilled in the  history, the mechanics, the horrendous potential of fascist regimes.  Israelis know fascism when they see it. In others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They might  well have expected when fascism began taking root here, it would arise  at a time of a national leadership of galvanizing charisma and sweeping,  powerfully orchestrated modes of action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that would have  been much too obvious to deny. And it would take denial, inertia,  selective memory, a sense that things – bad as they are - can go on like  this indefinitely, for fascism to be able gain its foothold in a  country founded in its very blood trail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, it has taken  the most dysfunctional, the most rudderless government Israel has ever  known, to make moderates uncomfortably aware of the countless but  largely cosmetized ways in which the right in Israel and its supporters  abroad have come to plant and nurture the seeds of fascism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wrote  Boaz Okun, the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronot's legal affairs  commentator and a retired Israeli judge, of Israel's ban on Noam  Chomsky: "The decision to shut up Professor Chomsky is a decision to  shut down freedom in the state of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm not speaking of  the stupidity of supplying ammunition to those who claim that Israel is  fascist," Okun wrote, "rather, of our fear that we may actually be  turning that way."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the weekend, Israeli police riot troops  waded into a thoroughly non-violent sit-in near the entrance to this  East Jerusalem settlement zone, where Palestinian residents were  expelled by Israeli court order, to allow their homes to be taken over  by Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was curious here was not the neck-wrenching  brutality of the Yasam riot police in their gunmetal gray uniforms,  bristling with assault rifles, clubs, tear gas and helmets, arrayed  against the demonstrators, most of of them Israeli Jews, some of them  well past retirement age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was surprising was not the fact  that several burly officers, seeing a young Reshet Bet (Israel State  Radio news) reporter - his microphone clearly and unmistakably marked,  interview one of the seated demonstrators - jump him and drag him away  in a headlock to a police custody van.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, what was  peculiar was that the police seemed so entirely bewildered, so  completely lacking in clear orders, left on their own to decide how to  proceed in an arena of hair-trigger sensitivity. Fascism with a confused  face.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/a-debacle-for-israel-1.290875" class="postlink"&gt;A debacle for Israel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (Haaretz - May 18,  2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt; The agreement on the transfer  of Iran's enriched uranium, achieved via Turkish-Brazilian mediation,  is an important victory for Iranian diplomacy and a debacle for Israeli  policy.

But the deal's  significance is clear: a new atmosphere, at least on the face of it, of  dialogue, negotiations and compromise with the ayatollahs' regime in  Tehran.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=175856" class="postlink"&gt;Gov’t rejects Iran deal as a ruse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (Jerusalem Post - May 18 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/540/netanyahuruse.jpg" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israeli government described the latest Iranian  nuclear deal as a trick designed to prevent the imposition of UN  Security Council sanctions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met  with the "Septet" of seven key ministers on Tuesday, to discuss  Israel's response to the Iranian nuclear fuel reprocessing agreement,  brokered by Brazil and Turkey.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Under the deal Iran will ship  most, but not all, of its enriched uranium to Turkey and in return  receive uranium fuel rods for research, which cannot be used for  weapons.

He added,  however, that Jerusalem would "not allow Syria to continue to two-time  Israel by demanding a withdrawal from the Golan Heights on the one hand  while setting up Iranian missiles on the mountains of the North."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peres  further stated that Israel would not "enter into peace talks while  being threatened," urging Damascus to cease its support of Hamas and  Hizbullah's terrorist activity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'It is a mistake to write off the  option of resistance'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We do not trust the Israelis ... we are  ready for war or peace at any moment," Assad told the newspaper. "Some  make the mistake of writing off the option of resistance (a term used in  the Arab world to connote militant warfare, especially against Israel),  and they turn into prisoners of the peace option. They should be fully  prepared for both," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assad added that Syria had entered  mediated negotiations with Israel in 2008 fully intending to reach a  "clear and final" solution, but that it seemed resistance was necessary  for achieving peace. "If you are not strong, you are not respected,"  Assad said. He stressed that peace was not merely a symbolic olive  branch, but a tangible and very real way to sort out the balance of  power in the region. He then described the positive qualities of  resistance, citing his achievements in recent years - among them renewed  ties with the US and the West and Syria's "rich, strong national unity"  - as manifestations of Syria's success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked what Syria's  position would be in the event that Israel attacked Lebanon, Assad  smiled and told his interviewer, "I think the Israelis want to hear the  answer to this question, and I will not fulfill their wish." Threats of  war, he said, were about as likely to become a reality as suggestions of  peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3890472,00.html" class="postlink"&gt;Erekat: Palestinians' patience wearing thin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  (ynetnews - May 16, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5141/erekat.jpg" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chief  Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat on Sunday entreated Israel  to take  advantage of US support in the negotiations and put an end to the  conflict. Erekat told the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel  Aviv, "My nation's patience with me is coming to an end," adding that  many Palestinians had asked him to quit.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;'Uzi Arad cancelled  three times'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chief Palestinian negotiator also noted the lack  of trust between the parties. "There's no need for negotiations. There  is a need for an agreement. All the alternatives are on the table. This  is the moment of truth. We are all experiencing birth pangs. We need  leaders ready to make sacrifices. My options are two states according to  the 67 borders, with territory exchanges and security arrangements. If  you've come to the conclusions that you can't offer this because you  don't have anyone to rely on – I'm not afraid."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also  addressed the claims that Palestinians delayed negotiations and pointed  an accusing finger at the head of National Security Advisor Uzi Arad,  saying, "On the first day that Arad took up his post, I asked to meet  him. Three times he scheduled a meeting and three times he cancelled."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding the Netanyahu government, he said, "You tie up my hands  and feet and throw me into the sea. Then you tell me I don't know how to  swim. That's how the Israeli government behaves today."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I  negotiate with you because in my opinion, most Jews and Arabs want an  agreement, and the alternative, the conflict, is too hard," he added,  and emphasized that the Palestinians would not stop in their struggle  for independence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In my generation, this can be achieved  through negotiation," he warned. "Don't miss the opportunity… The  negotiations are over. The time has come to decide. Not interim  decisions, not future decisions, not past decisions. A final agreement."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/business/israel-s-greek-crisis-1.290887" class="postlink"&gt;Israel's Greek crisis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (Haaretz - May 18,  2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;The frugal Israeli: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;As Greece spirals down and the EU catches its  disease, Israel's economy yet again stands out in its robustness. But  instead of merely applauding, one should understand what underlies its  strength.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanley Fischer, as the governor of the Bank of  Israel who steered the country's economy through the crisis in the  United States, and Benjamin Netanyahu, who navigated the economy from  2003 to 2005 as finance minister, deserve great credit for Israel's  current economic strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But among all the reasons for that  strength, I'd actually like to begin with the point that eight years  ago, Israel was Greece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since financial disaster was averted at  the last moment, and in any event was diluted by dramatic events related  to the country's security, most people have forgotten that in late 2002  Israel's economy was where Greece's is today. The effects of a bad  economic policy in 2000-2002, the sudden and powerful eruption of the  second intifada and the end of the Internet and technology bubbles  combined to cause intense recession and the loss of faith among  investors in Jerusalem's economic policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of 2002, the  budget deficit neared 10%. Israeli government bonds dived and returns  rose to 10% and more, which is where Athens' bonds are today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The financial crisis saved Israel.&lt;/span&gt;   The government was forced to institute painful welfare and pension  reforms as well as cutbacks in the public sector. Together with a $10  billion loan guarantee package from Washington and a drop in the risk  premium of the Middle East in general after America's invasion of Iraq,  these reforms laid the foundations for three years of conservative  economic management.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel's "Greek crisis" of 2002 stopped  Israel's leaders and businessmen from joining the borrowing extravaganza  that spread a few years later throughout the United States and Europe.  The scars of the local crisis had not yet healed, and Israel reached  2008, when the world economy began to implode, with a balance sheet that  was stronger than ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israeli character also played a role  in how we weathered the global storm. The conventional wisdom is that  we are all in perpetual overdraft, but in fact the personal savings rate  of Israeli households is among the highest in the world. German  Chancellor Angela Merkel chided that the Greeks, Spanish and Italians  should learn from the German hausfrau, who knows better than to spend  more than she has coming in. Actually, to borrow her metaphor, the  typical Israeli housewife is even more frugal than her German  counterpart. The ratio of debt to disposable income in Israeli  households is 60%, compared with 72% in Germany, 110% in the United  States and 112% in Britain (although in Israel, uniquely, "disposable  income" includes corporate profits, which skews the figures a tad ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/massive-civil-drill-to-test-response-to-cyber-attack-on-israel-1.290871" class="postlink"&gt;Massive civil drill to test response to cyber attack  on Israel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (Haaretz - May 18, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the first time ever, the annual home front  exercise conducted by the Israel Defense Forces will include  preparations for an electronic attack against the country.

Imagine a  friend comes to you screaming, “Someone stole my house!”  You ask him  what happened.  His response; “I put my house up for sale, I asked  $200,000 dollars.  A man came to the door and said he wanted my house.   He gave me $200,000 bucks and now I have no home.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel doesn’t  buy influence and control in America, we sold it to them.  The price  tags were there, had been there forever.  Anyway, there isn’t such a  thing as Israel.  Yes, it is a country, like America but we don’t exist  either, not really, we never did.  Our Civil War proved this.  A country  is like a company with a flag, a company that doesn’t have to pay its  workers, can even jail or kill them if it wants to.  Real countries  today are owned by stockholders, we call them banks, who hire managers  who work for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We call this “government.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This should  explain why the two American political parties act the way they do.   They really don’t exist.  American history classes are filled with fun  days and boring days.  During the boring days, the teacher talks about  monetary policies and banking.  In 1791, Alexander Hamilton set up the  Central Bank of the United States.  It was controlled by England, our  enemy, at least on the surface but was run by the Rothschilds.   Jefferson saw that such a bank would turn America into a criminal  empire.  Jefferson favored “democracy” and Hamilton favored  “conservatism” as expressed in “Federalism.”&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2010/05/17/a-young-palestinian-looks-back-to-1948/" class="postlink"&gt;A Young Palestinian Looks Back to 1948 - The year his  nation was erased from the map...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (by Ayman T. Quader,  DesertPeace - May 17, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="width: 368px; height: 230px;" src="http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1227/remembern.jpg" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Palestinian Exile, also known as Al Nakba (Arabic for “The  Catastrophe”), refers to the ethnic cleansing of native Palestinian  peoples … all » during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From December  1947 until November 1948, Zionist forces (namely the Irgun, Lehi,  Haganah terrorist gangs) expelled approximately 750, 000 indigenous  Palestinians–almost 2/3 of the population–from their homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hundreds  of Palestinians were also murdered for refusing to leave their homes.  The most notable massacre is the Deir Yassin Massacre, in which an  estimated 120 Palestinian civilians were brutally murdered by an  Irgun-Lehi force. Other massacres include the ones at Sahila (70-80  killed), Lod (250 killed), and Abu Shusha (70 killed). About 40 other  massacres were carried out by Zionist forces in just the summer of 1948.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not  only did Zionist forces conduct massacres of Palestinian civilians,  rape occured as well. According to Israeli historian Benny Morris, “In  Acre four soldiers raped a girl and murdered her and her father. In  Jaffa, soldiers of the Kiryati Brigade raped one girl and tried to rape  several more. At Hunin, which is in the Galilee, two girls were raped  and then murdered. There were one or two cases of rape at Tantura, south  of Haifa. There was one case of rape at Qula, in the center of the  country. At the village of Abu Shusha, near Kibbutz Gezer [in the Ramle  area] there were four female prisoners, one of whom was raped a number  of times. And there were other cases. Usually more than one soldier was  involved. Usually there were one or two Palestinian girls. In a large  proportion of the cases the event ended with murder. Because neither the  victims nor the rapists liked to report these events, we have to assume  that the dozen cases of rape that were reported, which I found, are not  the whole story. They are just the tip of the iceberg.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During  Al Nakba, Palestinians were murdered, raped, and ethnically cleansed  from their villages. According to Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe, “In a  matter of seven months, 531 villages were destroyed and 11 urban  neighborhoods emptied.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palestinians were forced into were forced  out of Palestine and into neighboring countries (i.e. Lebanon, Syria,  and Jordan), where they lived in refugee camps. Many were also sent to  camps in West Bank and Gaza Strip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Palestinian towns were  demolished and taken by the newly established Israeli government to make  room for new Jewish immigrants. Old Palestinian infrastructures, as  well as many ruins dating back from the Canaanites, Romans, Greeks,  Crusaders, Arabs, and Ottoman Turks were completely destroyed. This  signified the end of historical Palestine and the birth of modern-day  Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Nakba marked the beginning of the Palestinian refugee  crisis. Al Nakba destroyed a thriving and diverse Palestinian society  and scattered them into diaspora. According to the UNRWA, the number of  registered Palestinian refugees today is approximately 4.5 million.  These refugees are dispersed throughout the world, many of which are  still living in poverty-stricken refugee camps. Today, the situation  keeps worsening and thousands die from malnutrition, contaminated water,  or scarce medical supply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel has since refused to allow  Palestinian refugees to return to their homes, and has refused to pay  them compensation as required by UN Resolution 194, which was passed on  December 11, 1948.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historically, the Israeli government, Israeli  schools, and Israeli historians have denied that Al Nakba has occured.  However, The New Historians, a loosely-defined group of Israeli  historians, have recently published information recognizing the Al Nakba  tragedy and controversial views of matters concerning Israel,  particularly events concerning its birth in 1948. Much of their material  comes from recently declassified papers. Leading scholars in this  school include Benny Morris, Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim, and Tom Segev. Many  of their conclusions have been attacked by other scholars and Israeli  historians, who continue deny Al Nakba even occurred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/9EAmtgfPz-k&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;hd=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/9EAmtgfPz-k&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EAmtgfPz-k"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EAmtgfPz-k&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Lest we forget... more child abuse and  brainwashing into the jewish cult...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sj-r.com/features/x2084250175/Never-Forget-Teen-remembers-the-Holocaust" class="postlink"&gt;Never forget: Teen remembers the Holocaust&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  (State Journal-Register - May 18, 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1280/neverforgetf.jpg" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/4391/neverforget2.jpg" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Jan. 25, I left the United States to begin a semester abroad in  Israel as part of the Eisendrath International Exchange. With 70 other  high school students from across the country, my assignment was to study  Hebrew and Jewish history in addition to taking regular high school  classes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The four-month program included a weeklong trip to  Poland. When I signed up, I did not give that trip much thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As  it turned out, that week would leave a lasting impression on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad,  but furious&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of the trip to Poland was to visit  historical sites and learn about the Holocaust. I had studied the  Holocaust before, but nothing could prepare me for seeing the evidence  firsthand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On March 22, before leaving Israel, my group heard a  Holocaust survivor speak. The story was compelling and sad, but  uplifting because this was a survivor. Immediately after this first  story, we went to the airport to fly to Poland, where we would hear many  more stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our group’s first stop was Tikochen, an old,  prominently Jewish town. My teacher walked us around the town,  explaining what Jewish life was like before the Nazis came. I was  relieved that we were not seeing tragedy right off the bat. We were  afraid of what our reactions would be to the horrors we knew we would be  learning about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We did not have to wait long. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We were told a story of how Nazis came to  Tikochen, put all the Jews in trucks and drove them 10 minutes into the  nearby woods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then made that same drive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we walked  through the woods, one of only two survivors of Tikochen told us what  had happened right where we were standing. The Jews were forced to dig  mass graves and then they were shot into them. I could not get the  thought out of my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We reached our destination: three mass  graves with fences around them. Many people in the group cried, but most  were silent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My reaction surprised me: I was furious. I could  not believe how angry I was at the Nazis and at everyone who let these  horrors happen. I had never encountered anger before when learning about  the Holocaust, but now I wanted to punch a tree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only  satisfaction I got was seeing the Israeli flags on all the fences. The  meaning of the flags was quite simple: a Jewish state exists. I decided I  would wear my yamulke, the Jewish head covering, wherever we went that  week. This would symbolize that we, the Jewish people, have beaten all  odds and are still here. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;That is our  revenge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the middle of a busy street&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night  we watched the movie “Defiance,” about Jewish brothers living in  Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, on our bus while going to our next  destination. Although it is supposed to be an uplifting movie of Jews  living and fighting back in the woods, it took on a different meaning  for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I looked out the side of the bus while we drove past  wooded area, I thought, Jews could have been killed right there — Jews  could have been hiding for their lives right where I was looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  think one of the administrators of my trip summed it up best. He said, [&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Poland is just one big Jewish graveyard.”&lt;/span&gt;  It is a disheartening and scary thought — around 4 million Jews were  killed in Poland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next big stop was Majdonek, a camp that was  used almost exclusively for extermination. On our way there, we drove  on a busy city street. I looked out my window to the right and saw it: a  death camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My anger instantly came back. How could these  people, 70 years ago, be so close and yet do nothing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We walked  up to the entrance, which was adjacent to a well-traveled road. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A couple walked with a stroller. People  walked their dogs. Kids rode bikes down this street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was  enraged. Did these people think this was a park? How could they just  walk casually by without shuddering at the horrors that took place a few  feet away?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The first  thing we did at Majdonek was walk through the camp’s gas chamber — a  horrible thing to see. Right where I was standing, Jews had been crammed  in naked and then gassed to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt a hatred I had never  felt before. Who could do that to another person?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We then  did what no Jew was able to do 70 years ago: Walk out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After  seeing a room full of shoes belonging to Jews and walking around the  enormous Majdonek, we walked through the crematorium, where we were face  to face with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a gigantic mound of human  ash&lt;/span&gt;. At this point, my anger had mostly subsided and I was  feeling sad and remorseful. It was the first time I had physically seen  everything, and it was tough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My teacher made a comment that  stuck with me. He said, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Majdonek  really scares me because it’s so well kept. All the buildings are so  well preserved that &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;with a  flick of switch and a phone call — it is back up and running&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  had been a tough day for all of us, but there was more to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Auschwitz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  next day we were at Auschwitz. We spent the whole morning at Auschwitz  II (more commonly known as Birkenau).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gigantic Birkenau is  where almost all the Jews went — somewhere around 1.75 million square  meters and four gas chambers to Majdonek’s one. But Birkenau was almost  in ruin — Nazis destroyed it while trying to get rid of evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We  entered the camp and followed train tracks. The tracks had been  extended to go right to the gas chambers, so that the Jews could get off  the train and go straight to their death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The walk from the  entrance to the rubble of the gas chambers, which we learned were used  24 hours a day, seemed to take forever. I stood where more than 1  million Jews were killed, and the miserable, sad feelings rushed back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We  then walked around the rest of Birkenau, which took hours due to its  size. We saw the cabins where the more physically fit Jews who did  manual labor slept. We saw the crematoriums and also some memorials. It  was the longest few hours of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had all experienced so  much sadness during the past few days that we were ready to be done. But  we all knew seeing these things was important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lessons learned&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We  flew back to Israel. When we landed around 5 a.m., I was not tired at  all. I couldn’t get over the fact that I had just landed back in the  Jewish state of Israel. I had just taken the trip that 6 million Jews  dreamed of taking — to a homeland of their own — but never got the  chance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden, Israel and the Jewish existence were  more precious. I hope to never lose that feeling. It is now my job, and  our generation’s job, to learn, tell the story and never forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  changed in those few days. I realized that you can never fully  understand the Holocaust without seeing the evidence. Although a very  difficult trip, I believe everyone — Jewish or not — should go. You do  not have to be a Jew to feel the sadness. You just have to be human.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However,  I realized that the more you know, the more you realize you cannot know  everything. Although the Holocaust was the most documented event in  history, so many facts and stories will never be heard. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;[&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;and so  many horrorcaust fables heard and "facts" imagined - that never  actually were...&lt;/span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trip also brought up many  questions: How could the Nazis do such a thing? How could the world just  stand by and let it happen? How could the people of Poland be so close  yet turn away?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also realized that in a few years, there will be  no more survivors left to tell the story. We, as a new generation, need  to see and learn this history so that we will remember and never let  something like the Holocaust happen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By taking the trip to  Poland, I have walked through the footsteps of my ancestors.

It was  carrying 35 tons of weapons — a violation of U.N. sanctions against  North Korea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flight documents indicated the plane's cargo —  listed as oil drilling equipment — was headed for the Iranian capital  Tehran. Iranian officials denied they were importing weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  five-man crew — four from Kazakhstan and one from Belarus — claimed  they were ignorant of what they were carrying. The crew was deported in  February after prosecutors dropped all charges against them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analysts  have said that while the aircraft may have been heading for Iran, the  weapons could actually have been earmarked for radical Middle Eastern  groups like Hamas and Hezbollah which Iran has bankrolled and supplied  with weapons in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thai authorities say the weapons on  board included explosives, rocket-propelled grenades and components for  surface-to-air missiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.N. imposed sanctions banning North  Korea from exporting any arms after the communist regime conducted a  nuclear test and test-fired missiles. Impoverished North Korea is  believed to earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year by selling  missiles, missile parts and other weapons to countries such as Iran,  Syria and Myanmar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lieberman, who met with Prime Minister Yukio  Hatoyama during his visit, did not elaborate on his claims that the  weapons were destined for Hamas and Hezbollah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also claimed  that "missile programs" in Iran and Syria were receiving crucial  assistance from the North Korean side, without elaborating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This  axis of evil that includes North Korea, Syria and Iran — it's the  biggest threat to the entire world. Not to Israel but to the entire  world," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lieberman also called for tough sanctions on  Iran by the U.N. Security Council over its refusal to stop uranium  enrichment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States and its allies fear Tehran will use  the process to build a nuclear weapon. Iran denies any intention to do  so, saying its nuclear program aims only to generate electricity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/8136/infi4.jpg" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 266px; height: 200px;" src="http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6438/israelisettlersinhebron.gif" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/14/israeli-settler-accused-killing-palestinian" class="postlink"&gt;Israeli settler shot dead Palestinian teenager, police  say&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;A teenage  Palestinian boy has been shot dead in the occupied West Bank and  Palestinians said he was probably killed by an Israeli settler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  body of Aysar Yasser al-Zaben, 16, was found before dawn today in a  field near al-Mazra'a al-Sharqiya, a district of Ramallah.

In all  cases, the fighting in the area had stopped and, in most, Israeli  bulldozers destroyed the property after Israeli soldiers had dispersed  Palestinian militants in the area and consolidated control, said the  group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HRW said it documented the complete destruction of 190  buildings, including 11 factories, 8 warehouses and 170 residential  buildings - which it said was roughly 5 per cent of the total property  destroyed in Gaza - leaving at least 971 Palestinians homeless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  also condemned Israel's economic blockade of Gaza as illegal collective  punishment, which prevented proper reconstruction.

For me including this one clearly had political  implications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m in a public school and most students here have  the impression that Israel is the one attacking [the Palestinians]. To  put a quote in like this subconsciously reinforces the idea that  Israel’s the antagonist, the aggressor, the one in the wrong.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pearl  said she froze when she encountered the quote: "I didn’t know what to  do because I wasn’t comfortable answering it." Quoting Said on the AP  exam “is very reflective of the widespread use of education and testing  as a platform for anti-Israel propaganda,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The College  Board, which develops and administers testing for the Advanced Placement  exams, said there is nothing wrong with the essay prompt. College Board  spokeswoman Jennifer Topiel said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have heard no concerns  about this exam question, which contains a quotation about exile and  does not contain any political subject matter.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Forward said  no other writers reference on this year's AP English Literature exam  referenced their nationality. However, two years ago, an essay prompt  referenced Anita Desai as an Indian author.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Zionism is dumbing  down Jews'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journalist and Mondoweiss blogger Philip Weiss said  the Edward Said furor is another example that "Zionism is dumbing down  the Jews."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In order to believe the Zionist narrative about  Israel," Weiss wrote Thursday, "you basically have to block out a lot of  history and wipe out another people’s humanity and experience, simply  disavow it." That includes insisting that the inclusion of Said's  nationality is tantamount to calling Israel an aggressor state.  According to Weiss, Said didn't make Israel an aggressor state - Israel  did:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ayelet Pearl does not want to believe that Israel was an  antagonist, an aggressor. This is fantasy. Ennobling Israel at every  turn means never having to come to terms with the unfairness of Said’s  dispossession– which by the way, was in complete defiance of the 1947  Partition resolution that breathed legitimacy into the Jewish state. It  means self-imposed stupidity."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media Matters Action Network  Senior Foreign Policy Fellow MJ Rosenberg heard about the AP exam row,  but he was not impressed with Pearl's dismay either. The former AIPAC  staffer said in the Huffington Post that the civilizational concern over  the AP question is indicative of "the new style of pro-Israel advocacy  built on victimhood."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said AIPAC and the rest of the  pro-Israel lobby is trying to garner support for Israel by attempting to  convince "the most secure Jewish community in history that they should  be afraid, very afraid."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Israel is the 4th strongest military  power in the world. It has 200 nuclear bombs. It has an army of cool,  tough, non-weepy soldiers -- many of whom look like Olympic athletes.  And you are teaching victimhood."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether the College Board has a  subconscious bias against authors born east of Europe that prompts them  to identify their nationality or the testing authority really has a  Palestinian agenda, Rosenberg said this kind of panic is the work of  pro-Israel advocacy that wants to turn Jewish kids "into scaredy-cats."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 116%;font-size:150%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/14/facebook_trust_dumb/" class="postlink"&gt;Facebook founder called trusting users dumb f*cks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="uncited"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 193px; height: 289px;" src="http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/4374/n1186426617markzuckerbe.jpg" alt="Image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Zuckerberg was chatting with an unnamed friend,  apparently in early 2004.

To the degree that an individual elevates his identity as a jew above his identity as a Man, he hates and denies that Humanity. This hatred he projects on those who display Humanness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judaism is dehumanism, and the foremost enemy of Mankind is the anti-Human zionist-jewish state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jews are not born. Men are born. Jewishness is a tendency of mind, a memetic susceptibility, possible for all if induced from infancy. Yahweh's hands mould, mangle, blinker, compress and circumscribe the natural growth of the infant mind, fostering a malformed psyche and a malignant self. Children born into the jewish cult are terrorised into submission to the god of jewry by the spectre of so-called anti-Semitism and the overstated hollycost fable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When empowered by a childish conviction of cosmic chosenness - and a thermonuclear arsenal - fear and paranoia become malicious misanthropic hubris and a Samson-complex manifesting as subversion, duplicity, supremacism, ethnic cleansing, genocide and false-flag terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewishness is a pathological, unconscious and profoundly decentralised ego state that a man thus afflicted conquers by becoming a "self-hating jew," rejecting his self-hatred, and placing before his jewishness his identity as an individual thinking self and a member of the Human species.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Human society, jewish influence is rabid. When the sickness becomes as acute and as obvious as it now is, with an imminent threat of eternal loss of everything Mankind values, of everything Man is, individual and social resistance is mobilised. Pogroms and expulsions result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When zionism realises its failure to subjugate Mankind, Israel's final defiant act may be nuclear Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For our foolishness, our ignorance, our blind trust, we will pay our dues - our pound of flesh.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4905105670791113259-2908368044218773193?l=stateofselfhate.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stateofselfhate.blogspot.com/feeds/2908368044218773193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://stateofselfhate.blogspot.com/2010/05/state-of-self-hate.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4905105670791113259/posts/default/2908368044218773193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4905105670791113259/posts/default/2908368044218773193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stateofselfhate.blogspot.com/2010/05/state-of-self-hate.html' title='State of Self-Hate'/><author><name>Solus In Æternum</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15684646466239695419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
