In the era of trouble and suppression, we used to comfort ourselves using jokes and humors. When US was under the administration of the 43th US President of You-Know-Who, the kind of joke like below was flourishing. FYI, I got it from my friend as forwarded email.
I just hope that jokes and humors will still flow even if US under BHO 
and I hope this is my last posting about GWB
Sad but True
A Japanese doctor said: Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can
take a kidney out of one man, put it into another, and have him looking
for work in six weeks.
A German doctor said: that’s nothing. We can take a lung out of one person,
put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.
A British doctor said: In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can
take half of a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them
both looking for work in two weeks.
An American doctor from Texas, not to be outdone said: You guys are way
behind. We took a man with no brains at all out of Texas, put him in the
White House and now half the country is looking for work.

Regarding international relations, Obama said he would seek a “new way forward” based on mutual interest and mutual respect.
I hope finally we can leave behind NeoCon era, after it was led by Bush Jr.

What is Hamas stand? What Hamas want to achieve in this David-vs-Goliath war? Take a look at this interview.
To understand Palestinian plight, you need to understand the point of view of the oppressed or the occupied people, not a point of view of the oppressor or the occupier. This is not a war between a free country versus a free country. This is a war between an occupier versus their slaves who want to be free. That is why, the leader Ismael Haniya in Gaza said “Palestinians in Gaza would keep up the resistance until victory. Gaza shall not fall, Gaza shall not fall, Gaza shall not fall.”

Some sites like If Americans Knew, show off facts about how US has been in control of Israel or Zionist shadow organization (AIPAC, ADL etc should ring a bell).
But if a respected media like New York Times put on an article as a proof that show us who is the real boss, then it is different matter. This article also put another similar article in context. This site give an analysis of what happened behind the curtain of White House.

Sebagai bangsa yang pernah mengalami penjajahan, sungguh orang Indonesia sangat memahami perjuangan Hamas beserta seluruh elemen rakyat Palestina dalam memperjuangkan kemerdekaan dan pembebasan seluruh tanah air mereka. Seperti petuah dari Panglima Besar Jenderal Soedirman, dibulan Januari 1948 yang tercantum pada halaman Candi Borobudur: “Pertjaja dan jakinlah, bahwa kemerdekaan satu negara, jang didirikan di atas timbunan runtuhan ribuan djiwa harta benda dari rakjat dan bangsanja, tidak akan dapat dilenjapkan oleh manusia siapapun djuga!“

I found an article which give solutions to Palestinians problems
No amount of military escalation can buy Israel immunity from rocket attacks from the military wing of Hamas. Despite all the death and destruction that Israel has inflicted on them, they kept up their resistance and they kept firing their rockets. This is a movement that glorifies victimhood and martyrdom. There is simply no military solution to the conflict between the two communities. The problem with Israel’s concept of security is that it denies even the most elementary security to the other community. The only way for Israel to achieve security is not through shooting but through talks with Hamas, which has repeatedly declared its readiness to negotiate a long-term ceasefire with the Jewish state within its pre-1967 borders for 20, 30, or even 50 years. Israel has rejected this offer for the same reason it spurned the Arab League peace plan of 2002, which is still on the table: it involves concessions and compromises.

I read Adam Horowitz article, and I feel there is still hope for a solution to the injustice problem faced in this world.
There has been an unusual amount of introspection in the Jewish community this holiday season. Hanukkah was almost overshadowed by the Madoff scandal and the accompanying uproar about his impact on the Jewish community. The frenzy of handwringing and accusation culminated with the call for Madoff’s excommunication from Rabbi Joshua Hammerman, of Temple Beth El in Stamford, Connecticut, who stated in a passionate a letter to Malcolm Hoenlein that “never before has one man done such damage to individual Jews, Jewish organizations and Judaism itself.” Hammerman was motivated by fears for the future of Judaism: “Our own children are watching us.”
The future of Judaism and the moral standing of the US Jewish community are being threatened, but ironically, and tragically, it is happening far from the country clubs of Palm Beach and the mansions of Long Island. It is happening in Gaza. And unfortunately there is far too little handwringing about it in the Jewish leadership.
I do not share Rabbi Hammerman’s desire to ex-communicate anyone from the Jewish people, but I do share the Rabbi’s concern for the future – for the future of Judaism and the messages we are sending the next generations. The siege and destruction of Gaza is the political, humanitarian, and moral crisis of our time. Where is the moral standing of a community whose leaders promote the slaughter of innocents? And when will we agonize over scandals where lives are lost at Jewish hands, and not just fortunes?
It is totally wrong if you judges people base on their race, color, and religions, and persecute one base on that. Moreover, it is unacceptable to starve people and force them to be imprisoned in their own land.
