Over five decades in control of the West Bank, Israel has marked out hundreds of thousands of acres as public land, and it has allocated almost half of them for use.
But only 400 of those acres - 0.24 percent of the total allocated so far - have been earmarked for the use of Palestinians, according to official data obtained recently by an anti-settlement group after a freedom of information request. Palestinians make up about 88 percent of the West Bank's population.
The group, Peace Now, said the other 99.76 percent of the land went to help Israeli settlements.
Is there a Buddhist people, a Catholic people? Do they deserve their own nation and land? No. Even the though of such is weird.Are Jews originating from Ethiopia, India, Lithuania, Iran and Poland a common race?Why then is there supposed to be a 'Jewish people' as the new law stipulates?
It is historically crazy that a number of humans, living in dozens of mostly east-European countries, would suddenly define themselves as a unique 'race' by virtue of believing in the same religious fairy tales. - Moon of Alabama
From this point on, many strange and startling events are going to be taking place." It was more detailed but I don't want to get lost in trying to find my way through what I am trying to say and failing miserably at. The point was made numerous times that life had arrived at a critical point and tripped a series of irrevocable changes that are about to domino at an ever increasing rate of speed.......There is a distinct sense that certain things are going to happen that the majority will be unable to handle. I don't want to be an alarmist but if what I am being told is true (and I do not doubt any of it whatsoever) it is going to shake the very foundations of everything we have told ourselves was real and never had been but... we materialized it over time, until it seemed to be of substance but it was far more tenuous and the result being that it could well vanish like morning mist at the sun's arrival. This is a good thing for those seeking a spiritual clarity that has been so long denied and a frightening nightmare to others. We always knew that someday 'that day' would come and from what I am told it is right around the corner. Les Visible
Matt Agorist: A bombshell revelation on the security of voting in the United States has just surfaced in the form of a letter from the country's largest voting machine manufacturer. The company, Election Systems and Software (ES&S) admitted that despite denying previous allegations of its voting systems coming installed with remote-access software, their systems did, indeed, allow for remote connections.
In a letter to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), written in April, but only released this week, the company acknowledged that it had installed software that made the systems remotely accessible from anywhere.
Ron: Is it any wonder that the population of the rest of our world fails to take seriously the kvetching by brain dead, hypocritical Amerikkans about alleged interference in their elections?
Nick Turse: All this means that, on any given day, more than 8,000 exceptionally well-equipped and well-funded special operators from a command numbering roughly 70,000 active-duty personnel, reservists, and National Guardsmen as well as civilians are deployed in approximately 90 countries. Most of those troops are Green Berets, Rangers, or other Army Special Operations personnel. According to Lieutenant General Kenneth Tovo, head of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command until his retirement last month, that branch provides more than 51% of all Special Operations forces and accounts for more than 60% of their overseas deployments. On any given day, just the Army's elite soldiers are operating in around 70 countries...
"The creativity, initiative and spirit of the people who comprise the Special Operations Force cannot be overstated. They are our greatest asset," said Thomas. And it's likely that such assets will grow in 2019...
James Rickards: The dollar can be used for regime change by creating hyperinflation, bank runs and domestic dissent in countries targeted by the U.S. The U.S. can depose the governments of its adversaries, or at least blunt their policies without firing a shot...
The U.S. not only controls the dollar itself. It controls the dollar payments system. This consists of the Treasury's digital ledger of holders of U.S. debt, the Fedwire payments system among U.S. Fed member banks and the Clearing House Association (successor to the New York Clearing House and proprietor of CHIPS, the Clearing House Interbank Payments System) composed of the largest U.S. banks.
A dollar payment going from a bank in Shanghai to another bank in Sydney runs through one of these U.S.-controlled payments systems.
In short, the dollar is the oxygen supply for world commerce and the U.S. can cut off your oxygen whenever it wants...The U.S. uses the dollar to force its enemies into fronts, crude barter or the black market if they want to do business...
Russia not only expects gold to be part of the system, it is in strong position to make that happen by working with China, Turkey and Iran in what I call the new "Axis of Gold."
The bottom line is that the weaponized dollar will soon be a victim of its own success. While the U.S. was bullying the world with dollars, the world was quietly preparing a new nondollar system. The U.S. wanted diplomatic and military clout and it got it with the dollar.
Globalintelhub: The bankers who financed the Bolshevik revolution had no interest in politics, in Russia, or in 'helping people' - they wanted big juicy government contracts from Dictatorships.
Ron: I disagree. Neo-Pharisaic banksters who called themselves Jews, funded and supported the Jew controlled Bolsheviks to ensure that they destroyed Imperial Russia and Tsar Nicholas II, replacing them with a genocidal, Talmudic Communist regime that was intended, and according to Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, didgenocide at least 66 million Russian Christians. THAT was a political intention consistent with the Talmudic beliefs of the Jewish banksters.
Contrary to mainstream thinking, the NATO summit did not set the United States against the other members of the Alliance, but President Trump against the intergovernmental senior administration. For Thierry Meyssan, the problem is not whether or not we appreciate the personality of the tenant of the White House, but whether we support him because he is the elected representative of his people, or if we prefer the system's bureaucrats.
Greek news daily, Kathimerini says the relationship started to gradually worsen behind the scenes about a couple of years ago. What happened back then ? Geoffrey Pyatt assumed office as US Ambassador to Greece. Before the assignment he had served as ambassador to Ukraine in 2013-2016 at the time of Euromaidan - the events the US took active part in. He almost openly contributed into the Russia-Ukraine rift. Now it's the turn of Greece. The ambassador has already warned Athens about the "malign influence of Russia". He remains true to himself.

Amy Goodrich: Did you know that the number one side effect of chemotherapy is cancer? Conventional cancer treatments not only fail miserably, they are also designed to make cancer patients sicker. Though chemotherapy may shrink the initial tumor(s), what is happening in the background is far more important. It is the one dark and criminal truth nobody seems to knows about...YES, patients are dying from chemotherapy, not cancer itself. It has been shown to not only cause secondary cancers but also accelerates tumor growth and causes cancer cells to become resistant to treatment.
Seventy five percent of physicians and scientists would refuse chemotherapy for themselves or their family
In a phrase, Bill Browder was one of those furtive American oligarchs whose mission was to steal everything in sight from Russia after the Soviet Union was dissolved. He was a CIA operative whose shell companies were set up as a platform from which to misappropriate Russian wealth however he could. Remember, the C.I.A. is known as The Company in intelligence circles because that's exactly what it is-a massive transnational intelligence corporation that sells it ultra-classified information and privileged data to the highest bidder-always.
Israel Shamir: The Browder affair is a heady upper-class Jewish cocktail of money, spies, politicians and international crime...he was the only Jewish oligarch in Russia who never bothered to acquire the Russian citizenship. He was barred from returning to Russia, and his companies were audited and found wanting...
It turned out that he did two unforgivable things. Russians were afraid the foreigners would buy all their assets for a song, using favourable exchange rates and lack of native capital, as had happened in the Baltic states and other ex-Communist East European countries. In order to avoid that, shares of Russian blue-chip companies (Gazprom and suchlike) were traded among Russian citizens only. Foreigners had to pay much more. Browder bought many such shares via Russian frontmen, and he was close to getting control over Russian oil and gas. Putin suspected that he had acted in the interests of big foreign oil companies, trying to repeat the feat of Mr Khodorkovsky.
His second mistake was being too greedy. Russian taxation is very low; but Browder did not want to pay even this low tax. He hired Mr Magnitsky, an experienced auditor, who used loopholes in the Russian tax code in order to avoid taxes altogether. Magnitsky established dummy companies based in tax-free zones of Russia, such as pastoral Kalmykia, small, Buddhist, and autonomous. Their tax-free status had been granted in order to improve their economy and reduce unemployment; however, Browder's companies did not contribute to economy and did not employ people; they were paper dummies swiftly bankrupted by the owner.
