Commenting http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.591989 :

When Israeli politicians - including cabinet ministers - regularly talk of "population transfers" of Israeli Arabs as part of any peace deal with Palestinians, any observer not blind out of "love" towards Israel knows what this law is about: It is a foundation stone for Israel's next project of Ethnic Cleansing.

"Jewish State" in this case means "only Jews in the State".

It's the usual case. It's always easy to stand for human rights when your own people are being oppressed, much harder when it's the people you identify with being the oppressors. But humanity should learn to see all human beings as their own people.

Rather one-sided.

Russia currently is on path to fascism. It has increasingly authoritarian government allied with big business that jointly control the economy - the standard Fascist model.

Ukraine's revolution wasn't all that pluralist - leftwingers have told how many other protesters didn't want them to be there and tried to run them away from the Maidan. Now Ukraine's communist party is shunned by the new regime.

And there are some real fascists, relatively small in number but vocal and influential in action, among the supporters of Ukraine's new regime and far-right party is part of the new regime.

The manipulation of US and European "powers" seems to have played a role in Ukraine's events, so it's not just Czar Vladimir meddling in Ukraine's internal affairs, and European opposition to to this must be seen in the context of US' blundering, elephant in a porcelain shop -style march through burning countries during this century.

Yankees with their typically short memory may have already forgotten Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and the consequences of those wars but the Europeans haven't. We don't want a repeat of the Middle East chaos you caused with your attack in Iraq to be replayed in eastern Europe. It will hurt us hell of a lot more than you.

First, when shall we similar article about Zionist LibDems' web links? I can guarantee you that you that there would be a lot of hate speech to found when following them. But, as it is Zionist hate speech, it doesn't matter, right?
Do you demand that Zionist LibDems could not link to any mainstream Israeli newspaper, for example? Of course you don't, yet as a reader of their English versions I can say that more often than not you find pure racism towards Palestinians and denial of their current and historical suffering. Just turn to the column pages.
Of course, you will also find more enlightened opinions, which is the basis of my second argument: Media sites carry different kind of material. Even Murdoch's NY Post has both fanatic Greater Israel propaganda and what are basically racist, antisemitic writings.
Demanding that one can link only to sites that always observe political correctness means not linking to many sites, frankly.
Lastly, read this Israeli article about the settler murder of a 14 year old Palestinian child, which Israel's occupation forces didn't want to solve. It tells you everything you need to know what side to support: http://972mag.com/how-i-got-in...
