schestowitz__"@David: Jewish communities do indeed have a fine social justice tradition... for members of jewish communities. Not so much for Arabs. It's the same issue with most state religions tbh. Just look at the concept of Jizyah and the ideas surrounding it."Apr 20 19:17

schestowitz__The exposure I've had, particularly with groups like the Network of Spiritual Progressives and Tikkun Magazine, suggests that progressive Jews aren't only progressive for Jews. They take a tack entirely opposite to the Israeli government with regard to the Palestinians.Apr 20 19:18
schestowitz__None of this excuses what's happened in Palestine. But yes, there are some Jews who very clearly recognize the parallel between what Nazis did to Jews and what Jews have done to Palestinians.Apr 20 19:18
schestowitz__In addition, I highly recommend the writings of Avigail Abarbanel:Apr 20 19:18
schestowitz__Avigail Abarbanel, "A change needs to come," Electronic Intifada, May 25, 2008, http://electronicintifada.net/content/change-needs-come/7529Apr 20 19:18

schestowitz__"I wouldn't suggest for a moment that there aren't general human rights organisations founded by jews, just that, historically, they've tended to look after their own. This isn't unique to the Jewish community: Christian and Muslim communities have done likewise. But at the same time, it doesn't exactly make them socialist."Apr 20 19:18
schestowitz__"Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__I suspect you would find that Rabbi Michael Lerner, of the two organizations I mentioned, incorporates a progressive outlook in every aspect of his work.Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__As to the socialism, first let's remember that socialism isn't the be-all end-all either. But second, I worry about a certain essentialism that suggests that Jews can't both be Jewish and socialist, or that takes any prejudice as a sign that they aren't 'socialist'.Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__None of us are perfect. And we can all learn from the humility that some, unfortunately not enough, practitioners recommend.Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__'Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__"Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__Like I said, I'm sure there's some wonderful jewish human rights groups, but that doesn't say much about the specific population we were discussing: Zionists in Palestine.Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__Who said Jews can't be socialist? All I said was that the specific action of taking advantage of a crop failure to buy up land on the cheap, then evicting the peasant farmers, probably wouldn't be considered an example of socialism.Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__"Apr 20 19:19
schestowitz__"Perhaps I was too harsh. I was involved with antisemitism on another thread at the time. The early Zionists were no worse than anyone else. They were escaping from the horrors of 19th and early 20th century European antisemitic brutality, and following the general nationalist trend that was sweeping Europe at the time. They were not "evil people" with an evil racist agenda. They were seeking freedom and national liberation likeApr 20 19:20
schestowitz__everybody else; and escaping some really evil racist Europeans."Apr 20 19:20
schestowitz__"Jews can't be socialists? Tell that to Karl Marx."Apr 20 19:20
schestowitz__"Same argument goes for the aforementioned nationalists."Apr 20 19:20
schestowitz__"And, as far as I can tell, noone actually said Jews can't be socialists. I'm not really sure where any of that is coming from."Apr 20 19:20
schestowitz__"Yes Thisisafirstname, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. I think that was the point I was also trying to make with regard to Dr. Roy's post."Apr 20 19:20
schestowitz__"As long as we are comparing Ukraine and Israel, It is also true that in ww2, when many Ukrainian nationalists supported the Nazi's, many Palestinian nationalists also supported them for similar reasons. "My enemy's enemy"."Apr 20 19:21
schestowitz__Wait, socialism sometimes get connected with jewry (Marx, kibuzes), so the statement above is odd. Also, Stalin support communism (what he thought it would be) in Palestine through jewry. Of course what became of Israel eventually was almost ultra-capitalist, with US as a key ally.Apr 20 19:22

schestowitz__It may indeed do more harm than good.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__The analogy has to compare Gaza--much more so than the West Bank--as a so-called 'open air prison' to concentration camps and the killing of many more Palestinians than Israelis in various forms of conflict to the extermination in (often) gas chambers.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__Rhetorically, it must be meant to call attention to the crimes against humanity that Israelis are committing against Palestinians.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__But I agree, it can only compound the sense of some Israelis that their opposition is anti-Semitic. This combined with the efforts of some politicians to exploit anti-Israeli sentiment and with the Jewish history already alluded to makes for a situation that is hard to see a way out of.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__I can't even say that people need to stop making the situation worse, for this would seem to deprive Palestinians of their only means of resistance.Apr 21 17:58

schestowitz__@Roy: I'm sure it's offensive, noone likes to be compared to the nazis, but they're acting like nazis, for more or less the same reasons, so I have absolutely no qualms making it.Apr 21 17:59
schestowitz__@David: I don't really care if some Israelis get upset because someone compares their genocide and land-grabs to another genocidal and land-grabbing regime. They should be upset. Arguing in favour of handling them with kids gloves while they do so (in case they get worse) is nonsense.Apr 21 17:59
schestowitz__If any other country acted like they're acting they would immediately be the target of sanctions, trade embargoes, certainly arms embargoes, peacekeeping and possibly the destruction of military assets by UN/NATO bombing. Instead they get regular financial aid, a high level of access to the US arms market and people worrying they'll be "offended" if someone says they're acting like nazis when they act like nazis.Apr 21 17:59
schestowitz__Ultimately the only reason they're able to continue doing what they do is because of US support. Take that away, or at least suspend it, and ultimately they'll be forced to negotiate.Apr 21 17:59

schestowitz__It may indeed do more harm than good.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__The analogy has to compare Gaza--much more so than the West Bank--as a so-called 'open air prison' to concentration camps and the killing of many more Palestinians than Israelis in various forms of conflict to the extermination in (often) gas chambers.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__Rhetorically, it must be meant to call attention to the crimes against humanity that Israelis are committing against Palestinians.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__But I agree, it can only compound the sense of some Israelis that their opposition is anti-Semitic. This combined with the efforts of some politicians to exploit anti-Israeli sentiment and with the Jewish history already alluded to makes for a situation that is hard to see a way out of.Apr 21 17:58

schestowitz__@David: I don't really care if some Israelis get upset because someone compares their genocide and land-grabs to another genocidal and land-grabbing regime. They should be upset. Arguing in favour of handling them with kids gloves while they do so (in case they get worse) is nonsense.Apr 21 17:58
schestowitz__If any other country acted like they're acting they would immediately be the target of sanctions, trade embargoes, certainly arms embargoes, peacekeeping and possibly the destruction of military assets by UN/NATO bombing. Instead they get regular financial aid, a high level of access to the US arms market and people worrying they'll be "offended" if someone says they're acting like nazis when they act like nazis.Apr 21 17:58

schestowitz__> Unfortunately, I am the company that Mr. Thomas xxxx was referringApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> too in his e-mail to you. Mr. xxxx is the gentlemen that e-mailedApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> you because his private investigation license was revoked because he isApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> a level two restored sex offender. I am writing to you because DPSApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> really distorted me and my business because I didn't know the true factsApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> surrounding Mr. xxxx's sex registration and was told a wholeApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> different story. It was explained to me that when he was a teenager, Mr.Apr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> xxxx and some of his friends mooned some girls on the freeway andApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> the teenager girls were exposing their breast.Apr 24 18:01
schestowitz__>Apr 24 18:01
schestowitz__>     I do not have the ultimate decision on who receives a P.I licenseApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> under my license, DPS has that decision. I filled out the properApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> paperwork and followed the proper procedures regarding Mr. xxxx'sApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> license. DPS receives the required information and a finger print cardApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> and then they run a NCIC and they either send Mate xxxxxxx aApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> congratulations letter along with a employee's license for the personApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> that Mate xxxxxxx intends to employ or they send a letter that the personApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> doesn't qualify to have a P.I. license and of course, there isn't aApr 24 18:01
schestowitz__> license enclosed.Apr 24 18:01
schestowitz__>Apr 24 18:01
schestowitz__>     DPS approved Mr. xxxx so I employed him. I have to renew my P.I.Apr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> license every two years and my employee's license follows the date ofApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> mine. After DPS approved Mr. xxxx twice to have a P.I. license oneApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> of the DPS head licensing personal called me and told me that they wereApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> sorry that they had made a mistake and that I need to take Mr.Apr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> xxxx's license away and that I cannot let him do any P.I. work. As IApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> was taking to the DPS personal, Tom over heard the conversation and saidApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> wait I have a minute entry from Orange County Court were  own their ownApr 24 18:02

schestowitz__> minute entry while I was still on the phone and the DPS personalApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> received the fax and looked it over and said that looks ok and that heApr 24 18:02

schestowitz__> gave the OK, I put him in my reality show with my daughters and let himApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> to continue to work for Mate xxxxxxx. Since DPS gave the OK and continuedApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> to give him a P.I. license and now it was the third time that theyApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> renewed his license and ran a NCIC on him. Now my daughters are upset atApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> me because someone put one of our pictures from the show that was takenApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> on the green screen on "Ripoff Report" and tells the story and of courseApr 24 18:02
schestowitz__> adds some stuff about me but I don't even have a speeding ticket. MateApr 24 18:02

Another goal of this expansion is to take free software to more users through the topics that interest them such as science.  Based on our own experience a lot of new users have joined us after this expansion and the daily page view has gown up from 4,000 views per day to 15K per day and still the top stories are related to Linux/Free Software.Apr 26 05:07

schestowitz__> We do believe that GNU/Linux should NOT be the ‘not-haves’ lot. That GNU/Linux users should be deprived of some popular services like Netflix.

Netflix doesn’t attack Net Netutrality - it’s the messed up US system which left themApr 26 05:08
