The Road To Peace

Let us be very clear about one thing: POLITICS KILLS. The entire Israeli political apparatus lied to the public for 18 days about the three yeshiva boys who were killed brutally by a Hamas split-up. Those in charge knew from the start that the boys were dead, but kept on the search in order to build public support for the brutal invasion of the largest Ghetto in the world, the Gaza Strip. (Source: http://forward.com/articles/201764/how-politics-and-lies-triggered-an-unintended-war/?p=all ) The pictures and the reports coming from Gaza are brutal, heart breaking and making me lose any confidence that I still might have for the international peace keeping efforts. Pounding a population who has no where else to go does not fall short of a war crime. Furthermore these pictures does not help Israel's security and the well-being of its citizens at all. As a supporter of Isreal's lawful existence in the region, this hurts me even more. In the end, nothings changed since Tom Wai

Maradona es mas Grande que Pele!

It will be a tough game for me. On the one side the country I love without an aparrent reason ever since childhood. On the other my Wahlheimat for 5 years. In the end I will not be sad, but for sure I'll be thrilled if Messi gets the final trophy he's been after... PS: Here is a better version of Argentinian fans singing the same chant on Copacabana

My Teenage Kicks

  The legendary radio producer, record collector and promoter of modern music John Peel loved Northern Irish Punk Band Undertones anthem-of-a-song Teenage Kicks (link to the video: http://youtu.be/wAtUw6lxcis ) so much that he had it inscribed on his tombstone. I really do not know or care if I want a tombstone, but if I do, this song should be on it: Seriously, there is hardly any other song that fills my veins with so much pure elan.
