52 Nobel Peace Prize winners have called for the boycott of Israel for its recent attacks in Gaza.
Intellectual bankruptcy: 52 Nobel Peace Prize winners, artists, and activists have called for the boycott of Israel for its recent attacks in Gaza.
And where were these so-called intellectuals when Hamas was lobbing rockets into Israel? For them, I guess it is all right to kill Jews. And God forbid the Jews decide to defend themselves.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Obvious bias against Israel and the real peace process. This is just another propaganda attack by these Nobel ‘Peace’ Prize winners, that does nothing to move the situation toward peace because they intentionally ignore the violence that the Palestinians have rained down on Israelis. Their true motive is to overthrow any Israeli peace position and hand land and concessions to thugs and the violators of the peace.
Your website is excellent and I look at it every day and find your knowledge and insight into space travel and the cosmos excellent reading, I do however, believe you should keep your Zionist beliefs for another venue, not on this website. Your religion is your religion. Cosmology is the basis of your website-keep it pure.
I’ve always assumed this site is about Bob’s interests. Cosmology, or perhaps more accurately space science , is a major part, but a discerning reader will note other topics such as politics, music, and so forth.
First of all, religion has nothing to do with this story. Arabs have been trying to kill Israelis (who usually happen to be Jews), for the past five decades. They admit it. They relish in it. You have to be willfully blind not to see it, which was the main point of my post. These intellectual elites only get their dander up when Israel tries to defend itself. When Israelis get killed, however, they hardly twitch.
Moreover, there is no more equivalency here. Israel had occupied Gaza, but walked away from it entirely, giving it back to the Palestinians for them to run. Their answer: to elect a terrorist group as their leaders and focus on making bombs and rockets so they can kill Jews. Once again, you have to be willfully blind not to see who is the violent aggressor here.
Second, your method of debate is most interesting. Rather than debate the facts, you make two arguments. First you call me a Zionist with Zionist views. Though being a Zionist is not necessarily evil, you use it as an curse word, without having the slightest idea what the word really means. Its actual definition (someone who wants to reestablish the Biblical Jewish state of Israel) does not apply to me, or to my post. I am not advocating this. I am merely defending the right of all humans to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, without the threat of violence. I am also condemning the bankruptcy of the modern intellectual class, which can’t see a genocidal Islamic terrorist even if that terrorist is holding a knife to their face.
Second, rather than debate the facts, you propose I simply shut up, telling me I shouldn’t write about this stuff on my website. To this I say, too bad. I write what I believe, as a free man. You don’t like what I say, you are free to debate me here, civilly and rationally. My readers know that I welcome criticism.
What I don’t welcome is oppression. And that is your approach to debate.
Even though I don’t really care if the biblical nation of Israel is ever restored, for some reason I feel proud when called a Zionist.
It must have something to do with who is calling me one.
You would probably like this Steven Crowder video, “Isreal vs. the World” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGaXIhT3SRI&feature=player_embedded).
YOU GO! Mr Z, Israel has a RIGHT to exist!
When you think about it, it’s always been Israel -vs- The THUGS of History… Every major civilization that has gone against Israel has lost and fallen by the way-side… The recent islamist thugs will be no diffrent… The problem is that we are living this ‘history’, and HISTORY is not instant, it tends to take a while… In the end, Israel will remain… Just ask Goliath about he faired…
