Palestine, Now or Never
Mahboob A. Khawaja
"The UN vote is expected to occur on September 20. It is too much to hope that America will do what it knows is the right thing and vote "yes" or be an honest broker and abstain. The best we can hope for is that the United States and Israel are part of a very small minority voting "no." That kind of vote will strengthen the Palestinians and perhaps frighten Netanyahu into negotiating in good faith. But even if not, the UN will have stated that the Palestinians are people, too; people with rights, including the right to full sovereignty in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. At that point, the writing will be on the wall. The occupation is ending, hopefully before Netanyahu does too much more damage … to Israel."
(MJ Rosenberg: "The Disaster Known as Netanyahu" 9.2.2011)
Treacherous as is the conscious reality that global organizations were created to protect the mankind from the scourge of war and exploitations of the few paranoid and mindless powers dictating the world. Strangely enough, we are, where we were more than sixty years ago after the WW2 searching for a credible span of time to have human dignity, respect for rights, co-existence and understanding of peace and security against violence , killing and occupation. Not so, all those were simple illusions to fudge the humanity – to rob the mankind collectively of its interest and optimism for the future, be it at the UN Security Council or elsewhere. The UN-SC is the facebook for those who claim to be powerful – if they are indeed powerful in any sense of the meaning or global relevance in the changing politics of 21st century.
Given the will and proper sense of understanding of time and history, there are problems which are solvable without resorting to violence and bloodsheds. Palestine is one of those political issue and humanitarian catastrophe waiting for a viable solution since 1948. The Arab echelon have neglected it, the world community has abandoned it but the Palestinian people continued to be living as refugees in their homes, crippled by all means of social, economic and political violations of human identities – people who have been forced to live less than being human ways of life and prevalent conditions. Not too many global politicians are keen to settle the freedom of Palestine, but many would talk about it for political face saving.
Just a year ago at the General Assembly, President Obama made it known that by next year Palestine could be a free nation member sitting at the UNO. The Israelis and others directly engaged in peaceful dialogue with Palestinians reinforced similar overtures at various international forums and table talks. Why is it that Palestinians are adamantly opposed by the US and Israel to establish an independent homeland of their own?
M. J. Rosenberg ("The Disaster known as Netanyahu" Free Thought Manifest: 9.2.2011) points out the new realities unfolding from the Israeli official circle:
"Israel's propaganda machine would have it otherwise. It insists that the Palestinians, and the Arabs and Muslims throughout the world who support them, don't really care about the occupation. Their goal, we are constantly told, is to destroy Israel itself. As proof, they insist that "the Palestinians have never recognised Israel's right to statehood."
The PLO President Mahmood Abbas appears determined to go for the UNO membership and seek an independent State of Palestine with capital in East Jerusalem. The proposition does not challenge nor threaten anybody's lifeline, well being or statehood, be it Israel or the US or any other party. So what is the fuss about it? Susan Rice, the US Chief delegate at the Security Council made it clear last night (9.16.2011) in a CNN announcement that if the PLO goes for statehood resolution, nothing will change on the ground. This means that either the US veto the resolution if it comes up at the Council or do everything possible to stop the movement for the establishment of an independent State of Palestine. The rhetoric reveals that PLO should continue to talk with Israel and figure out its freedom. Even common sense will demand a logical answer, how do you talk to an occupier who does not recognize your rights, your human dignity or right to freedom? Is that not what has been going on for over sixty years? Does Miss Rice not know the basic lesson of the Israeli-Palestine problems? Have they not agreed to disagree time and again, time and again? Is it not the time killing exercise that the US wishes to dictate again? Alan Hart an American scholar ("Zionism and Peace Are Incompatible" Dissident Voice, Oct 21, 2010), explains the core problem embedded in Zionism :
"Zionism is not only Jewish nationalism which created a state in the Arab heartland mainly by terrorism and ethnic cleansing. It is also a pathological mindset. In the deluded Zionist mind the world was always anti-Jew and always will be. It follows that Holocaust II (shorthand for another great turning against Jews) is inevitable. It follows that there can be no limits to what Zionism will do in order to preserve nuclear-armed Greater Israel as a refuge of last resort for all Jews everywhere when the world turns against them……. But alas, reality continues to slap everyone in the face: Zionism and peace are incompatible. I will say it again, Zionism and peace are incompatible."
If history is any point of reference, President Obama and Susan Rice know it well that no objective oriented agenda will ever be concluded by the Israeli-Palestinian negotiators on their own. To summarize the attitudinal changes within the Israeli politics and its spill-over impact on America, Alan Hart cites a different viewpoint narrated by Aluf Benn in Ha'aretz on 20 October, 2010:
"Israel's diplomacy has reached a turning point. Instead of dealing with the failed direct talks, from this point Israel will be orchestrating a diplomatic holding action against the Palestinian initiative to have the UN Security Council recognize Palestinian independence within the 1967 borders. Such a decision would deem Israel an invader and occupier, paving the way for measures against Israel. Obama could scuttle the process by casting an American veto. Would he do it? And at what price?"
Well, don't blame the US or Israelis entirely for this tragedy. What about the fellow Arab rulers – leaders, what have they done to enhance the cause of the freedom of Palestine? That chapter of the book is open and clean without any narration, without plausible record, engrossed with terrible wickedness and treachery to the cause of freedom of Palestine.
Just try to view the facts of life in a comparative context to acquire a better sense of the problems. Israelis have planned aims, priorities, institutions to pursue the goals, committed leaders and networks all over the globe to enlist support, propagate their perspectives and do their best to be successful in achieving their aims and political priorities. No matter, who comes into power in Israel, their goals and actions are not deviated from their political agenda rather reinforced and crystallized. Often the US leaders act like surrogate mothers to protect the Israeli national interests even at costs of ignoring their own strategic interests. It is politics and functions well in the US where congressmen and senators receive financial contributions from the Jewish lobbyists. Nobody sees it as an absurd influence peddling tactic or something illegal or unwelcome intervention in the working of the American political system. Money buys people and trade mutual interests. Most of the US politicians would not dare to challenge the Israelis stance and viewpoints. They are doing the job faithfully.
Have you ever seen an Arab leaders coming out in public and uttering few words of wisdom in favor of the Palestine freedom? Have you ever heard about Arab lobbyist groups working for the benefits of Arab interests-Palestine freedom? If animosity is to be responded, do the Arab elite and policy makers know enough about Israeli culture and politics and approaches to decision making? Frankly, the Arab rulers and have no sense of the Israeli life, language or bent of mind in any rational manner. Israelis are smart, open to listening and learning and they have evolved the institutionalized approaches to enhance their vital interests and priorities. The Arab rulers have no sense of time, history or strategic direction –" often they live in modern prison cells- called palaces built with petrodollars- stolen money from the public treasury. Their so called friends in the US and Europe called them camel junky – rug heads and rulers without mind. John Perkins (Confessions of an Economic Hitman) recalls how George Tenet, former CIA Chief used to hug the Arab monarchs as if he was their friend and buddy and they would readily do anything –" fair or foul to please the Americans. Arabs have no institutions to enlist public support for any political cause. They are allergic to listening and learning from Muslim scholars and experts in global affairs, instead, they hire specialists from the US and Europe to advise them – the people who are part of the problem, how could they be part of solution. There is no rational place for meeting of minds or opportunity that one could try to make the Arab authoritarian rulers understand that they have crossed over the limit of reason and absurdity and now is the time for change and reformation to make a navigational change. They appear to be so indifferent, cruel and unmindful of the facts of life –" their palaces and reign comes first, people have no entry point in their agenda. The Palestine problem lived in denials for over sixty years. With people's revolutionary movements and many authoritarian Arab rulers on the run, Arabs collectively are in a very weak position to assert any influence over the events and coming developments to shape the Palestine resolution.
You do not any pill to recall the facts of human life. Some twenty years earlier, this author offered a strategic plan and proposal widely defined and circulated in the Arab world ("Towards Muslim Unity", "Why Muslims are a Divided People?" "Approaches to Comparative Strategic Policy Planning: Muslim World and the West"), how an Ummah Council (Muslim Parliament of educated representatives) should be set up, organized and function to deal with issues of economic, social and political interests and policies and have open trade, common currency and free movements of goods and services and lot more. Imagine, if such an assembly was discussing the issue of the freedom of Palestine and echoing its voice and support to the besieged Palestinian people, don't you think, the world would have listened to them carefully and appraised its value in real terms for actions. Indeed, it would have. The unity of Muslim Ummah and educated and intelligent leadership would have changed the shape and forms of contemporary hopeless affairs. Should the authoritarian Arab leaders not be questioned and held accountable for their incompetence, treachery and failure to protect the interests of the Arab people? The author would like to share a perspective ("Arab Ummah vs. Muslim Ummah, Who you were and where you are?" MediaMonitors network, May 8, 2002), that was observed a decade earlier:
"World observers describe the Arab leaders as "defeated" cronies who capitalize on inflicted miseries of the masses to build palaces and to increase foreign bank balances. Is it possible that the defeated parties could pressure the victors? Or demand favorable terms and conditions on issues which involve life and death questions? Israelis of all persuasions are ONE and committed strong and aggressive. Allah made you a Muslim "Ummah", but you insist on becoming an Arab "Ummah", reverting to the age of ignorance. Islam bestowed honor and success on the faithful believers. When you discarded Islam, you left behind all its merits and claims. Your leaders believe, you are an economic man and women like the Western cultures, they work to earn, you consume fatty dinners and enjoy 4 wheels cruiser without working for it. Your enemies are happy; you are true believers in progressive economic myths and life styles. But your leaders are without followers, without sense of responsibility or guilt. Most Western political analysts believe Arab leaders hardly bother to use their brain; it is always new and fresh like a baby."
Israeli right wing coalition PM Netanyahu threatens to cancel the Oslo Agreement if the PLO shall go to the UNO for independence and full membership. The ground realities are telling that Oslo agreement had no prospect for the Palestine freedom, its ultimate goals was to keep the Palestinians under continued occupation. This is what Arafat and his colleagues had willingly signed-in to the deal. M J Rosenberg ("The Disaster Known as Netanyahu") puts the argument into proper context:
"Binyamin Netanyahu is very close to bringing Israel back to where it was before the Oslo agreement of 1993. There is even the strong possibility that he will take it back to where it was before the Camp David peace treaty with Egypt –" with the added disaster that the relationship with Turkey (established in 1948) will also be gone.
In a normal country, a record of disastrous failures like those would lead to Netanyahu's departure from office. But not in Israel…… The worst part is that nearly all of Israel's problems with its neighbors could be resolved by ending the occupation. Even the economy would benefit if the Israeli government was not wasting so much money on the settlers and their exorbitant demands."
Palestine freedom is real and its needs a coherent rational argument to be shared at the global podium, if only some educated and intelligent Arab scholars well versed in thoughts and presentation of ideas could speak to the international community. The mankind must exercise its full knowledge, political foresight and moral strength to oppose continued tyranny and occupation by Israel. Palestine must be free now as an obligation long overdue to the systematic international responsibility. The global community of nations should support the resolution calling for an independent State of Palestine to con-exist with Israel. There is no question of choice to enhance illegal occupation and continued settlements replacing the Palestinian identity, rights and homeland. M J Rosenberg ("The Disaster Known as Netanyahu"), sums up the mindset of the US – Israeli leaders who will play a role at the forthcoming UN deliberations:
"The Palestinian turn to the United Nations offers the solution to virtually all of Israel's problems. President Mahmoud Abbas says that once Palestine is recognised by the international body, he will resume negotiations with Israel over all the issues that divide the two sides. The only difference will be that negotiations will be between two states, not one powerful state and one supplicant hoping a few crumbs fall off the table…..Netanyahu is terrified of a UN vote. He and his emissaries are going around the world demanding that the statehood resolution be voted down.

I've used a birch bark base for this basket---my first attempt with the stuff. Interesting.
Have given this basket to O'Brian Trawick because he's become a good friend and also because he has lavished me with so many of his wonderful creations. The Lord bless you, O'Brian!
If you're looking for birch bark quill boxes, I've added one plus published a how-to booklet HERE.


We are very interested in picking the brains of anyone familiar with or an official/unofficial historian of each of these racetracks and persons involved in NASCAR during the short lived period of the Sports Car Owners Drivers Association (SCODA).
We are looking for any NASCAR Corvette Photos, Programs, Magazine/Newspaper articles, Race Grids/Results of the early 1953-55 Corvettes that raced against the T-Birds at Raleigh Speedway in 1955 & 1956, Martinsville Speedway in 1955 & 1956, Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC in 1955-'57 & Daytona Beach, FL in February 1956. The race numbers probably were #92, #62, #55, #27, #16, #3.
The Drivers were Bill France, Joe Hawkins in Daytona, the Thomas brothers, Gwyn Staley, Pee Wee Jones, Junior Johnson, Jimmy Massey, Ralph Liguori, Bobby Myers and Johnny Dodson in the Carolinas. The cars were maintained by Hubert Westmoreland. The Corvettes were probably owned by NASCAR & possibly "King of Jazz" Paul Whiteman.


Long Island big game hunters brought in more deer during the 2010 season than the previous year, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced yesterday.
Hunters shot 2,991 deer in 2010, up about 200 more from the 2009 total of 2,777. And the state DEC is thrilled to hear it.
"Deer hunters play a crucial role, benefiting all New Yorkers by helping to maintain deer numbers at levels that are ecologically and socially appropriate. We appreciate their participation," DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said in a statement.
Deer hunting season runs from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31.

She lay beside him, staring blankly at the ceiling. The deed was done. They were mated. It didn't matter that she had no love for him nor he for her. Political alliances were more important than feelings, or so she had been told. That fact was cold comfort right now as her heart broke within her.
The covers rustled beside her and then she felt his finger move across her cheek, catching the tear. "I'm sorry, Elise." Kane's voice was deep yet gentle.
She felt heat flood her cheeks at the thought of the blood stained sheets being examined as proof of her virginity. It was so old fashioned but it was how things were done to ensure the blood lines between the packs were truly mixed. Heaven forbid she'd come into the relationship tainted with another male's pup in her belly. Well, there could be no doubt now that Kane was her first and only mate.
Tradition or not, it still didn't lessen her embarrassment. All her friends and family would see and know the intimacy that had occurred between her and Kane. Worst of all, Bryan—the one she loved—would know as well.
nineteenth birthday approached, she was becoming restless, eager to experience bonding with another.
As she pushed the door open, a cacophony of emotions hit her. Excitement, worry, curiosity... She was sensitive to moods and puzzled over the strange mixture. Her eyes scanned the room. The Elders seemed excited and pleased and were conversing with another group of older persons who were strangers to her. Her father was frowning and talking to a man of about twenty-five. Elise hadn't encountered him before and took a moment to study this new arrival.
"I was with Bryan and we didn't go near the edge of the property. We aren't fools, you know." "Ah...Bryan..." Her father frowned, and then sighed again. "Elise, I have something to tell you. As you might know, the pack to the east has a new Alpha. His name is Kane." He nodded towards the man standing across the room and Elise shot him a glance again before smiling with polite interest at her father's news.
"He's come to meet you?" She wondered why she was being summoned. The politics between the packs had never been a concern to her. Her father didn't involve her in the council meetings, yet clearly she could only assume that the gentlemen in the corner, talking to the Elders of her pack, must be representatives from the eastern group.
Elise had no idea when she came home that day that she'd end up mated to a complete stranger. A new Alpha and the need for an alliance between packs have made her a pawn EXCERPT: She lay beside him, staring blankly at the ceiling. The deed was done. They were mated. It didn't matter that she had no love for him nor he for her. Political alliances were more important than feelings..
The Mating was awesome. Have you checked out the sequel, "The Keeping?"

Giuliani for Prime Minister
It seems clear that the de facto leader of the western world is now New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Throughout the horrors of the past two weeks he has consistently been the only leader, in the U.S. or Canada, to have practically, responsibly, efficiently and with good humour stood before us to report on the aftermaths of September 11.
He comes off as so much better a human being than any other western leader that the rest of them look like dolts by comparison.
Giuliani, of course, has the benefit of being a municipal leader and thus being directly responsible for actual stuff. He doesn't need to talk about "smokin' them out of their caves" because he's too busy calmly talking about death certificates and parking meters and whether the subways are running are not.
But he is at his most eloquent when talking about the psychological realities of the situation.
At his news conference this morning, for example, he talked about how important it is that children aren't afraid. To quote from the New York Times:
Children should not be afraid, he said. "They should go out and enjoy themselves and play and play ball and study and do the things they normally do. And adults can help children to not be afraid by not being afraid themselves, "The best way of to get your children to stop being afraid is to stop being afraid yourself."
This kind of talk is so much more comforting and plain-spoken than all the mindless, content-free rhetoric of other leaders. To say nothing of the endless episodes of Oprah on "the healing process."
Giuliani, who is being rallied to seek a third term as Mayor, understands that part of recovery is the restoration of confidence, and that the restoration of confidence requires, in part, strong leadership. While we in Canada may have effective managers and defenders of our sovereignty, we are sorely lacking strong leaders, people who can inspire us to greatness, calm us in times of hardship and generally, well, lead.
If Rudolph Giuliani wants to run for Canadian Prime Minister I'm ready to work on the campaign.

One of the reasons that guiliani has been so appealing through this crisis is that he is a municipal politician, and so he can focus on things that that are tangible and real to people — like subways and parking meters — as opposed to things that seem distant and scary, like jihads and air strikes. He is also a politician, unlike Bush, with nothing to lose. because of this his remarks have been uncalculated, sincere, and pleasingly human. Bush's statements seem contrived, considered, and somewhat smarmy.
mike rukavina on September 26, 2001 - 00:06
Maybe I am a naive, blind idiot, but I am putting a personal moritorium on bashing any US politicians under these recent difficult conditions. What qualifies someone to label Bush's comments as contrived, considered, and somewhat smarmy?? As you put it, Guliani is a municipal politician. Once a mayor wins office, he pretty much rules the roost, and his job is simplified down to moving assets around efficiently and effectively and to cheerleading. That said, Guliani has demonstrated an ability to do this under enormously difficult conditions arguably as well as anyone ever has. That said, a Federal politician (like a President for instance) is not only operating day-to-day inside the sharktank that is the national political stage, but he or she must also deal with his or her country's position on a global stage, and in the context of his/her country's historical reputation. I personally think that Bush (who I thought -along with millions of others- was pretty much a moron before all of this) has done a tremendous job bolstering of the confidence of a people that have had the wind knocked out of them, delegating very complex tasks, and maturing beyond any level even he could ever have aspired to. Give the guy a break!! I am not advocating turning a blind eye to the rightness or wrongness of the US's current policy that he is helping to shape, but as a leader under extremely difficult conditions, and as a public servant, I think he has exceeded most people's expectations, and deserves a bit more respect.
I have every right to label Bush's comments contrived, considered, and somewhat smarmy, because those are my impressions. In a world where access to politicians is tightly controlled, we as citizenry are forced to derive our impressions based on public appearances, which I have done. I don't presume to be an authority — I'm giving my opinion. I realise that being President of The United States is the most difficult job in the world, particularly now, and Bush has exceeded my expectations as well. That does not entitle him to be free of scrutiny and criticism. If anything, we have to keep a close eye now on what is being done at the highest levels of government. We only have to look back as far as the war in the Persian Gulf to see how the United States military kept facts from it's own people about civilian casualties and "friendly-fire" deaths of it's own troops in the interests of "national security". Just yesterday defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld, while saying that he would not lie directly to reporters about US military activities, quoted Winston Churchill…"Truth is sometimes so precious, it requires a bodyguard of lies". I don't believe this, and I believe it is an excuse for a government to act without accountability to it's people. President Bush is doing his job, and doing it pretty well. But if I didn't question him and our own government, then I wouldn't be doing my job.
Rob MacD on September 26, 2001 - 20:48
Confidence may have been bolstered, but I don't think Bush had much of a hand in it, except that he was the guy that read the speech. The President as a figurehead bolstered our confidence, not Bush as a man.
And it's my opinion that Bush's comments have been as contrived, ascalculated, yet less smarmy than his comments had been pre-9-11.
I've always seen him as a student who always feels he's about to get caught cheating; that it'll be found out that others do his homework. Since Sept.11, I find him to be somewhat less like that.
Steve, please take a day off work. My comments here are made as a human being, not as a janitor, software engineer or astronaut. What are your (as a fellow human) impressions of Bush?
Peter Rukavina on September 27, 2001 - 05:41
My impressions of Bush are that he is a poorly trained spoiled rich kid with little intelligence, little imagination, little ability to speak in public and a dangerous propensity to follow the herd. I would never choose him to be my President. He might be a perfectly nice guy, I suppose, if we were to go out for a beer. But in a world where politics is largely theatrical in nature, he is a sad and frightening actor. But then again, I voted for Ralph Nader.
Bush fascinates me. It sounds as though he was a great governor of Texas…personable and open-minded and willing to work with people of all political stripes. Before the bombings I read interviews with democrats who met Bush and were charmed by his can-do attitude and genuine likability. Like Pete, I think he would be a really fun guy to know socially, and I think at the root he is a man of good character. But I don't like the way he uses simple language to talk about complex international issues, particularly at a time when emotions are running high. I just think it's cravenly irresponsible and even stupid to cast this "war on terror" in terms of "good versus evil". This tack seems desperate, borne of ignorance. It does not inspire alot of confidence for me. As a human being, I am afraid that someone like this is running the show right now.
While I disagree with some of your comments brothers, I am glad that we have the freedom to carry on this open discussion.
Right on, brutha.
Alan McLeod on September 29, 2001 - 12:37
Trusting I can stick my nose in what appears to be a Saturday afternoon brother's tussle out in the backyard, what I am interested in the Bush use of language. I expect that the real control is by a committee and that Rice, Powell and other play a very large part in the administrative decision making — unlike micro managers like Carter and Clinton. The presentation of Bush is something of the "everyman." I was very struck by his statement made soon after the attacks — something to the effect of — "when I think of this it makes me sad, when I think of this it makes me angry". His use of language is often a bit like Hemingway, clean and direct. There is little uncertainty. The shades of meaning are left to others — primarily from my viewing time Rice and Powell. I agree that this can be disconcerting when we have seen imperial Washingtonn for so many years but tied with the actions of the administration that so far seem both internally dramatic but extenally measured, I wonder if the cadance and useage and the actions are more atune to a Texas ear and the habits of a Texan politician. Maybe his role is being presented as one of the people while the job of running government is undertaken by a larger group.

Giuliani huh? Or is this a discussion of GWB? Anyway Giuliani, don't forget, when things weren't so intense wanted to impose his Catholic religious views on the entire city by apposing a particular (and benign) art exhibit. His past is fraught with such foolerie — but I agree, he was made for this situation!
Bush is an idiot. He's not doing a good job, and if it weren't for his Dad he wouldn't have an administration that could cope with this situation. I asked this before (on the Train) but what president in history, including Regan, would have used the phrase "Dead or Alive" in reference to foreign policy? My answer, none. He's an idiot and it shudders me that he's the closest to the button.
Alan McLeod on October 3, 2001 - 20:55
He doesn't get near the button any more than Ronnie did.

Guliani is the epitome of smarmy. New Yawk is once again
facing bankruptcy. His book on leadership has the
consistency of consomme soup. His appearance on Oprah
left one wondering whether he was a borderline moron.
He's a narcissist!; New Yawk and Guliani fit each other
like a hand and glove.
