Baithak World May 15: Kissinger, Jews invented people, M Akbar's Covert, Headlines, Real News
The old man has not lost his marbles. If anything, he is consistent in his blinded support of the 'occupiers' and 'usurpers.' If he was not consistent, one would suggest dementia has set in - or how else can one ignore the threat posed by a non-NPT signatory Israel in the region? That is a reality.
It takes an "imported" Henry Kissinger to warn us of the "danger" that the international community (read Israel) faces from Iran. Yes, I said "imported" - he was invited by the Rockerfellers, to come to the US and then used him as an "expert" in Senate appropriations hearings for increase in arms spending benefiting Ike's MIC (military-industrial-complex.)

In an address at the "Facing Tomorrow" presidential conference in Jerusalem on Wednesday, former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger warned that the nuclear threat facing Israel is in fact a global danger, and urged the international community to forge a specific timetable to combat it.

How the Jewish people were invented, from the Bible to Zionism is the provocative title of the most recent book to be published in Israel by Shlomo Sand, a professor at Tel Aviv University (forthcoming in French with Fayard). Sand, one of the “new” historians, attacks what he calls the myth that the Jews are the descendants of the Hebrews, exiled from the kingdom of Judaea. He has attempted to show that the Jews are neither a race nor a nation, but ancient pagans – in the main Berbers from North Africa, Arabs from the south of Arabia, and Turks from the Khazar empire – who converted to Judaism between the fourth and eighth centuries CE. According to Sand, the Palestinians are probably descended from Hebrews who embraced Islam or Christianity. Sand doesn’t challenge Israel’s right to exist or the notion of its sovereignty, but he thinks that sovereignty is undermined by its exclusively ethnic base, which stems from the racism of Zionist ideologues. In other words, Israel shouldn’t be a Jewish state, but a democratic secular one which belongs to all its citizens. Are the Jews an invented people? By Eric Rouleau
M J Akbar has launched a fortnightly magazine: Mission Statement of M J Akbar's COVERT:
Power is secretive about truth and propagandist about claims. Democracy demands media that reveals the covert, and sifts the overt to peel off propaganda. Knowledge is the ultimate asset of the citizen. We hope, in COVERT, to tease the truth out of the wrinkles of secrecy. Our weapon is the scalpel, not the sword; we prefer the soft-spoken word to the scream, a smile to anger. Our political coverage will be heavyweight, but with a light touch. We hope civility will travel further than a scream, but our determination is non-negotiable. COVERT will be a journal that restores the breath of life to news. Our mission is clear: Empower the reader so that he can recognize the powerful. The reader will be guide, mentor, companion and colleague on this journey. http://www.covert.co.in
