Why do so many outstanding Jewish brains (Einstein, Marx, Freud, Asimov, Arendt, Chomsky, etc.) oppose Zionism and Israel? Because they are aware of the covert alliance between Zionism and fascism.

Some of the main topics addressed: The book argues that there was a "secret liaison" and alliance between certain Zionist leaders and fascist regimes, especially Mussolini's Italy, during the pre-World War II period. It contends that pragmatic Zionist leaders like Ze'ev Jabotinsky collaborated with Mussolini out of self-in...

Publications on emotion (and the affective sciences in general) have exploded in the last decade. Numerous research teams and individual scholars from many different disciplines have published research papers or books about many different aspects of emotions and their role in behaviour and society. However, One aspect of emotional research that has been somewhat neglected, is the way in which emotional terms translate into other languages. When using terms like anger, sadness, fear, disgust, and joy for so-called basic emotions, as well as terms like shame, guilt, pride, regret and contempt for more complex emotions, it is naturally assumed that the emotion terms used for research in the nat...
