The Crisis of Zionism
A dramatic shift is taking place in Israel and America. In Israel, the deepening occupation of the West Bank is putting Israeli democracy at risk. In the United States, the refusal of major Jewish organisations to defend democracy in the Jewish state is alienating many young liberal Jews from Zionism itself. In the next generation, the liberal Zionist dream, the dream of a state that safeguards the Jewish people and cherishes democratic ideals, may die.

Jews in Popular Science Fiction
This book analyzes Jewish tropes in popular science fiction ranging from Star Trek and Marvel to other prominent franchises. Sometimes the representation is subtle and thought-provoking; other times, it is limited to cliché and oversimplification of characters. The chapters in this collection examine the representation of Jewish characters in films and franchises including Superman, Lord of the Rings, The Mandalorian, The Twilight Zone, and more to shed light on the broad range of representations of the Jewish experience in popular science fiction and fantasy.
Lola
Lola is about how every church and state on planet earth is out dated and sufficating humanity. The world leaders of today's church and state just as soon rape and pillage the planet for their own golden butt wipers then they would do the right thing for the planet and or humanity. I gaurantee Jesus the 2000 year dead guy is not going to save you. I guarantee the concept of hell is not real and is being used to scare and mind control honest people into believing negative bullshit. I guarantee you the United States Government is destroying the planet for a few corporations business interests. I gaurantee Obama's caimpaign for "change" is all smoke and mirros and that the current American presedential administration is just as curropt and shady as the last administration.
