Moreover, fewer than half of Council members now poised to begin applying democratic standards to the rest […]
Show trial The justly infamous term “show trial” was first coined back in the dark 1930s, when stage-managed pseudo-trials became a favorite ploy of Stalin’s purges in the USSR. But this perversion of legal due process appears alive and thriving in Turkey, where the authorities opted to “try” four former IDF commanders, headlined by ex-Chief […]

Of what steel are the Republicans in Congress made? We’re about to find out. Big scandals from little leaks grow.

Dear Member:
A new video has gone up.
Part three of Course 2: “Origins of Zionism” is now available.
You can see it directly via the following link:
http://zionism101.org/NewestVideo.aspx
Or log in at www.zionism101.org
Part 3: “Modern Zionism” chronicles the rise of the modern secular movement to restore Jewish sovereignty to the Land of Israel.
As Theodor Herzl said to a Berlin audience in 1898:
“We must not abandon our people to an uncertain future. We must see to it that they can live in safety. Look upon this movement as one which is committed to the general welfare, which wishes to serve the poor, is inimical to no one, and can bring a measure of relief to all mankind.”
We encourage you to share information about “Zionism 101” with your friends, family, and co-workers, plus anyone else who is interested in learning about the most important development in modern Jewish history.
If you haven’t already, please watch our completed video series on the founding fathers, including Theodor Herzl, Chaim Weizmann, David Ben-Gurion and Vladimir Jabotinsky.
We welcome questions and comments.
Sincerely,
David Isaac
