Al Jazeera gets the Israeli protests wrong
What is up with Al-Jazeera thinking that everything in Israel is related to the situation in the territories? I hate to be the one to break it to you, but a protest about economic inequality is about economic inequality. Period. Now, you ask in the report what "social justice" means in Israel? Well, to put it plainly and simply: Social Justice in Israel means that every single person that resides within the State of Israel is entitled to the right to be treated equally. That is what these protests are all about.
Once again, Al-Jazeera shows a clear anti-Israel bias when reporting on Israel and anything relating to the Middle East conflict.

Muslim Hajj Culiminate in anti-Israel and anti-US demonstrations in tents
According to a report by the AP, Muslims on their hajj, one of the holiest pillars of Islam, culminated in something called a "disavowal of pagans ceremony!" What this ceremony is an anti-Israel and anti-US demonstrations within the tents of the worshipers. While Saudi Arabia has banned any anti-US events to take place, they allowed it because it was in the privacy of their own tents.
Yep, I totally believe the Muslim world is trying to reach towards peace. Stuff like this going on in what is supposed to be a religious event is totally kosher with the free world. No problem, really.
(Snickers) Ya, right.

Once again, something Israel probably will be blame for but has nothing to do with this...
According to a report in today's New York Times, Saudi Arabia has barred Palestinians in Gaza from traveling to Mecca as part of the Hajj. For those who don't know, one of the five pillars of Islam is to make the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina at least once in a Muslim's life. The reason for denying these Palestinians their religious right is part of the continued international pressure on international terrorist organization Hamas. What has Hamas done to respond to this? For those who are on Fatah's list of pilgrims traveling to Saudi Arabia they set up eight check points in Gaza heading towards Egypt.
Even Palestinians know that “Even the Israelis never dared prevent the pilgrimage this way."
So before anyone says anything, Israel has nothing to do with this, thanks!

The New Cold War
Russia's unprovoked attack on the country of Georgia is something that is upseting, but it should not be a shock. Russia has also sided with Iran in helping support its nuclear ambitions and has come out against America's new missle defense system that is being built in Eastern Europe. On the flip side, America and Israel continue there strong relationship (for the most part) but also both support the state of Georgia. Then, with France and the United Kingdom on the side with Israel and America and all being against the Iranians nuclear program, it all appears to be setting up to become another East v. West with the Middle East being the main battleground.
Jordan and Hamas are talking?!
The Jerusalem Post is reporting that the country of Jordan and the terrorist group Hamas have been engaging in "security talks." As some of you may know, Jordan is one of two countries (the other being Egypt) to have a peace agreement with Egypt.
What makes this interesting that Fatah doesn't seem to be a part of these discussions despite Jordan wanting to negociate a peace between the Fatah and Hamas organizations and then peace with the Palestinian Authority with Israel and supporting President Bush's "Roadmap." Where is Fatah? Am I the only one who finds this slightely puzzling?
