		<title>The People United Will Never be Defeated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t remember when the first time I heard this chant at a protest. But it struck me as a powerful and true statement. I thought it came from the early union struggles here in the US. Only recently I learned that the chant is the title of a Chilean song  ¡El pueblo unido jamás [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lawful Intercept</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday&#8217;s post cited an article from the WSJ entitled Iran&#8217;s Web Spying Aided by Western Technology. I added some commentary which I decided to pull out since the article has broad implications about government use of the Internet to spy on its citizenry.
The WSJ article does a good job talking about deep packet inspection. This part [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iran Roundup &#8211; News and Commentary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The situation is so fluid on the ground, that I hesitate to comment, This post is a collection of news articles and commentary I personally found educational and enlightening. I start with a quote which expresses my own feelings about what is going on. It seems exceedingly strange to me that I quote a sitting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feature: Humanitarian Intervention &#8211; Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nearly a year ago I wrote this post on the topic. I actually began the part 2, but let it lie for a while. Given the dramatic events in Iran and the pseudo-debate  in the US about how Obama should react, I find it apt to finish up the topic now.
Given the points raised in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Faces of Israeli / Jewish Politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two videos by Max Blumenthal. First the haters:

Then the lovers:

The Obama haters film caused quite a stir, with Blumenthal receiving death threats and the usual accusations of being a self-hating Jew. Here is what Blumenthal himself has to say about why he made the film:
I do not and have never claimed that the characters that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Very Israeli Experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ha&#8217;aretz hands the paper over to writers instead of journalists for one day. Go to the Ha&#8217;aretz site and choose June 10th under &#8220;Previous Editions&#8221; to see it. This article by Etgar Keret is amongst my favorites:
Barak spoke Tuesday night to the Council for Peace and Security, in an auditorium full of veterans of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reactions to Obama&#8217;s Cairo Speech</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three reactions to the Obama speech by left-leaning Israeli journalists. More below.
First up Uri Avnery with The Tone and the Music:
From the very first word, every listener in the hall and in the world felt the honesty of the man, that his heart and his tongue were in harmony, that this is not a politician [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feature: Obama and the Settlements Issue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The NY Times headline reads:  &#8220;Obama Pins Mideast Hope on Limiting Settlements.&#8221; They label it &#8220;News Analysis&#8221; but it&#8217;s really a propaganda opinion piece. More below.
The headline makes it clear what the thrust of the piece is: By putting such an an emphasis on settlement Obama is at best being naive and at worst is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bibi Under Pressure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A review of the current political situation in Israel. It&#8217;s quite amusing and predictable. It amazes me that Bibi got re-elected in the first place. What were they thinking? Did anyone really believe he had &#8220;improved&#8221; somehow?
It is hard not to be amazed by the speed with which Netanyahu&#8217;s second term has become a kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Win Friends and Influence People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Israeli right wing group (Hazit) plans on plastering the country with the poster shown below. If I didn&#8217;t know better I would assume its a joke. Bad Photoshop job plus he looks so kind.
