all wolf since 1948

The most powerful statements are often brief, such as this one that correctly states the situation of Zionism taking the lands of the Palestinians while posing as a people desiring peace. That "peace process" has now been thoroughly exposed as the fraud that this picture represents. What Israel has always wanted is a peaceful exit of the Palestinians from their lands. As the peace sham has come apart, the wolf-like nature of Israel is increasingly on display.

American Jew says she hates what Israel is doing

Want to feel the teargas and see the effect it has? Join a protest at the West Bank town of Bil'in in the spring of 2010 starting at 23:00 of the video below.

But above all, listen to the Israeli from Tel Aviv who participates in the protest. Listen to the Australian and the American who have come so far from home to support justice by way of the International Solidarity Movement.

The American, a Jew, says (at 31:25)

I'm ashamed of it (the American flag)...the way we aid Israel, give them carte blanche and we don't do anything for the Palestinians except spew a lot of rhetoric.

INTERVIEWER: Why would you come here?

A couple of reasons. I'm Jewish, so I hate what Israel is doing especially because they claim to be the home of the Jewish people and it isn't, it's Zionism. It's everything against what Judaism stands for so I come to put a different face on Judaism and I believe we are supposed to stand for the oppressed wherever they are...and as an American because my money is used against the Palestinians and so it's important for me to come and stand with the Palestinians and work with them.

The first half of this video is a visit to the home of a Palestinian slain while protesting in 2009. The video is one of almost 100 videos called Sleepless in Gaza and Jerusalem - something anyone who wants to get to know the Palestinians and their situation should watch.

Obama abases himself for Israel

I'm sorry to say that one of my senators in Congress is Mark Kirk, the man more heavily financed by the Israel lobby than any other Congressman when he was a representative from Illinois and still their poster-boy as a senator.

He considers himself a champion for Israel and has lately been spouting the kind of nonsense one could expect - that Israel is America's strongest ally, that it is the only democracy in the Middle East etc.

Things are changing in the world around him, however. Events have occurred that make him look even more foolish and out-of-touch than before.

The uprisings of Arabs in many countries in attempts to throw off their autocrats have upset the carefully arranged applecart that provided a tight lid preventing democracy for millions. With the ouster of Mubarak, Israel is worried that the U.S. payoff that provided Egyptian compliance with the oppression of the Palestinians may fail to work. At the same time, the U.S. was put in the awkward position of having to support the ouster of the man it had happily supported for three decades.

The release of the Wikileaks "Palestine Papers" provided proof, if any were needed, that the Palestinian Authority was quite willing to sell out the Palestinian people in negotiations with Israel. The Palestinian Authority, by the way, is paid with U.S. funds to (here's that same phrase again) keep a lid on Palestinian unrest by way of a U.S. trained police force (remember that Palestinians may not otherwise be armed and that Israeli settlers in the occupied territories are armed).

The revelations were also significant because they showed not only that the PA is a puppet but that Israel had no interest in the puppet giving away the Palestinian store. The reason is that Israel wants all of the Palestinian land and always has, making the charade of the so-called Peace Process clear to all...except Mark Kirk.

Finally, and most significant, the President of the United States, after desperately talking to Palestinian President (though his term has expired) Mahmoud Abbas on the phone for the better part of an hour, failed to persuade him to withdraw a request for a UN Security Council vote on a resolution condemning Israeli settlements.

Obama's desperation was understandable because the resolution was essentially a statement of what is official U.S. policy, put forward by the Palestinians in a clear attempt to force the U.S. to show its dedication to Israel rather than its own policy. It was the little boy shouting that the emperor (the "honest broker for peace") had no clothes (was actually in Israel's pocket).

It worked. The result was the incredible veto two weeks ago of U.S. policy by the U.S. at the United Nations. In effect, the U.S. slapped itself in the face publicly for Israel and defied the world by alone opposing (1-14) the rest of the Security Council. To make it even more absurd, the U.S. representative to the U.N., Susan Rice, then said the U.S. still does oppose the Israeli settlements but the solution to the problem lay in the (now thoroughly discredited) peace process!

So Mark Kirk's pronouncements about Israel are now clearly seen to be what they have always been - meaningless statements that serve only to cover for the power of the Israel lobby in America, that power now confirmed by the President kneeling before it in the U.N.

USS Liberty - the big coverup

It's significant that this production is from the BBC, not any U.S. news organization. The program speaks for itself and is an hour well spent for any American.

U.S. sends $3 billion plus to this country???

President Obama has endorsed sending even more money to Israel in his latest budget proposal.

But here is an excerpt from a Haaretz article on the Israeli economy...

The pace of Israeli growth is the fifth highest among the 34 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which Israel joined last year. Israeli growth outstripped that of the United States, Britain, Japan, Germany, France and most other countries in the group, too. Economic growth by the OECD nations averaged 2.8 percent last year, while the average for continental Europe was even lower - a mere 1.7 percent.

Is Congress going to do as it has done every year for decades and keep the money pipeline flowing? Why? Lobbying power.

a boring presentation that's true

Did you ever sit in a classroom falling asleep while the professor droned on about something or other? I have.

Here is an example of how to put people to sleep while presenting an important topic - the consequences of U.S. support of Israel. Make sure you are well rested and alert before you view this presentation by, yes, a professor.

The take-away I got was how resolutely people will see things in a way to make themselves the victim and the righteous seeker of justice, while ignoring the elephant in the room best exemplified by George W. Bush ignoring the history of Israel and U.S. support for it in total disregard of the Palestinians/Arabs.

Palestinians sold out by their own leadership

Say what you will about HAMAS, everyone agrees that they stand opposed to Israel.

The Palestinian Authority has been posing as a moderate and reasonable leadership for the Palestinians. In fact, the PA is supported financially by the EU and the United States, complete with training by the U.S. military for the PA police forces. It's another attempt to deliver to Israel a compliant prostrate Palestinian people held down by their own.

This was clearly shown in the PA effort to suppress Palestinian demonstrations in support of the Egyptian revolution.

Wikileaks has revealed the sell-out to Israel reality of the PA, leaving Abbas with not even a fig leaf to hide behind. New elections have been announced (in which HAMAS is refusing to participate to date).

It's the same old story of the U.S. finding people to pay off to do its bidding. The breakdown of this system in Egypt is what has the PA scurrying to hold elections.

Here is an excellent account of the situation of the PA in regard to the Palestinian people.

By the way, as I have mentioned before, the managing editor, Maureen Murphy, of the Electronic Intifada, where the above mentioned article appears, is one of the 23 people subpoenaed by the FBI, all of whom have courageously refused to appear.
