"...when the Zionist community in Palestine established a state, something happened to Judaism there. The connection with the territory, the soil, changed the face of the religion, as it did to all other parts of national life.

"Although justified, the outrage in western government circles over the East Timor acquittals is just another example of the West's double standards. None of the massacres perpetrated against tens of thousands of Muslims during the Suharto era (which were far worse in range and scale) generated any outrage."

"Perhaps Democrats and Progressives should punish the Democratic Leadership for proposing Bush Light by voting for Bush himself. Perhaps the leadership needs to be taught a lesson."

"Catholic University of America (CUA), located in Washington, DC, has barred actor Stanley Tucci from appearing on campus for a seminar, set for Oct. 15th, which is devoted to contemporary Italian cinema. The CUA gave as its reasons Tucci’s public persona as a pro choice advocate on abortion. The school said it didn’t want to give Tucci “a platform.” The National Conference of U.S. Bishops runs the CUA. Some of those same clerics stand accused of condoning the priest pedophile scandal and also the evil of warmongering."
