Hillary's Zionism

As Glen Greenwald reports, Hillary's Zionism is no laughing matter. As U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary fought hard against the UN publication of a report which documented widespread Israeli war crimes in Gaza. In response to Hillary's criticism of Obama for not attacking Israel's enemies, saying she would be more militaristic, Greenwald understandably asks what could be more militaristic than bombing seven Muslim countries repeatedly?

As Greenwald observes, "She does not even acknowledge, let alone express opposition to, Israel's repeated, civilian-slaughtering bombing of the open-air prison in Gaza."

White Jesus



Andre E. Johnson, writing at Religion Dispatches, reminds us that “Jesus could not have been white”. Although most Christians in America grow up looking at images of Jesus as Scandinavian, the reality is that he was Palestinian.

So why don’t Bible-thumpers in Alabama have Jesus pictures on the wall that look like Yasser Arafat, whom I personally think looks kind of like Ringo Starr? Well, the short answer is that it doesn’t sit too well with white supremacists’ self-image of holier-than-thou antebellum notions of race.

Why the big deal? Well, as Johnson observes, White Jesus makes it possible for the devil to be Black.

Meanwhile, Hollywood and churches continue propagating the White Jesus myth.

Call it an identity crisis.

Stronger Than Ever



Chris Hedges’ exhortation on the imminent collapse of globalized capitalism, and the hopeful new dawn of socialism, misreads the facts that show capitalism is stronger than ever. Capitalism is not collapsing. It has morphed into institutionalized gangsterism.

Hopeless

In his op-ed on the hopelessness of electing another Democratic Party Messiah, Shamus Cooke reminds us that the bloodletting abroad by the U.S. military continues hemorrhaging the domestic budget for social needs, and that until this draining of our lifeblood from the U.S. Treasury is stopped, American society will continue its steady, horrific decline.
