Give the source of your information then only you will have some credibility for criticizing media.

Jews and Palestinians need not lawyers as mediators but psychoanalysts.

Nietzsche would have argued that Black was not trained but predestined to be possessed by such an abusive will to power.

Media's role is not to salvage countries but to report newsworthy information after having verified its sources. Your numbers on the poverty in China would never have been published without an explicit reference to their origin.

Precisely because of this imperative of "absolute longing", Jews cannot have a country without destroying it.

What distinguished Judaism of other religions is that it predisposes its believers to an absolute longing.

What is most important in the very famous saying "next year in Jerusalem" is the "next year" not the "in Jerusalem". http://books.google.com/books?id=8fn8n4RLg...lt&resnum=3

Jews were rather in Western countries all liberated from the Nazis.

There was of course not enough consensus but most importantly no urgency to implement any recommendation.

This recommendation should have stayed only a recommendation (with no immediate implementation).

Resolution 181 was only a none-binding recommendation.

Probably because they have too much time on their hands.

The Greek myth of Prometheus was shown to situate hubris and sacrifice as foundational principles of psychological life. Hubris is a principle of excessive pride resulting in narcissism and inflation. Sacrifice designates an attitude of surrender, honoring non-ego entities and relativizing egocentric perspective. Through its pervasive hubris, modern culture has identified itself with one side of this archetypal pairing. Simultaneously, whereas sacrifice may be identified as a psycho-religious pivot throughout history, sacrificial gesture and sensibility have declined in modern culture. Psychological symptomatology over the past century was related to this problem. Responding to this modern condition, depth psychological theories were regarded as reflecting the themes of hubris and sacrifice. (G. A. Slater)

The populist Right-Wingers are intoxicating themselves with their own hate.

The term "law" signifies the principles upon which society is based, designating a mode of collective conduct based upon a set of prohibitions. However, the rule of the law conceals an inherent unruliness which is precisely the violence by which it established itself as law in the first place. "At the beginning" of the law, there is a certain "outlaw", a violence which coincides with the act itself of the establishment of the reign of the law... The illegitimate violence by which law sustains itself must be concealed at any price, because this concealment is the positive condition of the functioning of the law. The authority of the law stems not from some concept of justice, but because it is the law. Which is to say that the origin of the law can be found in the tautology: "the law is the law". If the law is to function properly, however, we must experience it as just. It is only when the law breaks down, when it becomes a law unto itself, and it reaches the limits of itself, do we glimpse those limits and acknowledge its contingency by reference to the phrase "the law is the law". In other words: The Law (makers) cannot and should not question itself. http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro1.htm

To go back to the topic, what are some of the positive bits of information on China that are missing in our media?

Central Party will be in French Parti Centriste, which is, I think, a much better name than democracy party.

It is not because your daughter in law challenges your view that she can be called a fool.

I don't think the population is facing a contradiction involving crimes statistics but a contradiction about the use of the stick vs. the carrot in highly publicized events.

A high profile Jew argues that the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians was the only solution: http://www.newleftreview.org/?view=2497

That was news.

Read the NY Times (Gretchen Morgenson's columns for example) and you will revise your (false) impression that Black is the only white-collar criminals punished.

What is making a lasting impression on Canadians about China is that West-Coast Canadians have found, in the recent past, Chinese illegal immigrants dead in ship containers.

What leads you to believe it is an excuse?

Nationalism has nothing to do in this conflict.
