Rather than saying they're a better civilization I'd say they're better **AT** civilization. They've had 5000 years to figure out what does and doesn't work, and unlike the Western countries the Chinese leaders seem to learn from history.

"One thing we learn from history is that our leaders rarely learn from history."

We cannot allow Israel to escape the legal consequences of their war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.

They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Hind Rajab Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution.

You might find the recent interviews that Glenn Greenwald, and the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah, very informative. Maybe one reason the Swiss arrested Ali Abunimah this week?
