PLEA

President Obama, Say Something!

Let Israel know, for heaven's sake, that you are not a puppet

20-Jan-2009 (39 comments)
Today is inauguration day. It is the day all of us who supported Obama have been awaiting. It is the day welcomed by all those, the world over, who have had enough of George Bush and his band of neoconservatives. But for many of us, especially Americans of Middle Eastern descent the mood for celebration has been dampened by the just-ended-for-now, in-time-for-the-inauguration, massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. You see some of us just can’t switch off the anger and remorse we feel towards the murder of 1312 Palestinians, including 417 children, 108 women and the injury of another 5430 people in Gaza>>>

Systemic imperatives, contradictions and the democratic process in the USA

19-Jan-2009 (5 comments)
This paper examines the democratic process in the United States and in particular the much heralded election of Barack Obama as the “hope for the world” in light of systemic imperatives and contradictions. It is argued that the overwhelming preponderance of systemic contradictions reduces even a chief executive’s effectiveness as an agent of change aimed at “solving” specific problems resulting from systemic contradictions. That is the subjective capacity of a chief executive as an agent of change is limited and defined not only by laws, but by class interests in which the “state,” as represented by the President, must perform certain functions. Is the state as represented by the President capable of pursuing the interests of everyone (as it is assumed to be its role in a democracy) in light of systemic contradictions?>>>

BLOGGERS

Stop it…

Surely, nothing is easier than sitting in the basement of your parents’ house in North America and telling Gazans and Israelis “Lengesh Kon.”

I was reading the other day that to protest the massacres of Palestinians in Gaza, a popular political blog community has asked its members to stop blogging and go on a symbolic strike for one day. The idea was to call attention to atrocities committed by Israel by denying readers access to blogs for 24 hours. Shit, I’m all for that. As a matter of fact, I’ll pay all the bloggers around the world to take a week off and let the fucking internet breath. Do you bloggers ever take vacations? For god’s sake, stop polluting the internet with your self-serving, virtual hallucinations? Don’t you guys have jobs? How come your laptops don’t get infected with virus?>>>
