		<description>&lt;p&gt;Call me a pessimist, but I&#039;m not expecting an organization called &quot;Our People&quot; to make a great contribution to justice in the Middle East.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Couldn&#039;t be more appropriate to have this in a synagogue named after a guy who would rather that every Jew in Europe was ground up for fertilzer if it meant that he would have to stop kissing Roosevelts ass. &lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, a bunch of &quot;progressive&quot; Jews ( whatever that means,) who couldn&#039;t find their way around a siddur if their lives depended on it. Wouldn&#039;t miss it. &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Bill is right David - How about attending Phil&#039;s talk and sticking it to those nefarious Joos. Now is your chance to be a real man.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;On another topic: I notice that MuzzleWatch has been forced to turn off their comments section.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Imagine how these people must treat Gentile sites.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Take a look at http://www.holocaustbcc.org/about.html .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note the following paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Center addresses human rights and civil rights issues everywhere. Our programs have addressed Armenia, America, Darfur, the Balkans, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, Northern Ireland, the Middle East and East Timor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Palestine is left out. Ethnic Ashkenazi Americans simultaneously work hard to control genocide discourse and distract themselves and non-Jews from the genocide that Zionists have committed and continue to commit right before the eyes of all Americans in Palestine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Until the American Jewish community forthrightly admits the genocide committed by Zionists in the name of the Jewish people and shows remorse, I cannot imagine that candid speech about Israel on the part of American Jews will have much connection to reality or do much good.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Good luck to the debate!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Send a message to the Israeli society to adopt the rules of the Enlightenment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See the Eyrrick Address:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://archive.recordonline.com/archive/2002/01/09/09myview.htm&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He strongly stated the USA was founded on the principles of the Enlightenment and not on Holy Scriptures. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The freedom of the American people was not a Judeo Christian privilege, but a human creation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And send the same message to the Palestinians to adopt honest decent rules for the society. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both sides should follow the advice of the Eyrrick Address.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The noble Iranians are invited to the same principles, too.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Commentary magazine is stepping up the campaign for war against Iran. They&#039;ve even produced a video version of Podhortez&#039;s article, &quot;The Case for Bombing Iran.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://www.commentarymagazine.com/contentions/index.php/peach/556&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not whether this was meant as a pro or a con--&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Well, if we were to bomb the Iranians as I hope and pray we will, we’ll unleash a wave of anti-Americanism all over the world that will make the anti-Americanism we’ve experienced so far look like a lovefest.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Podhoretz and Commentary illustrate the perversion of our language and politics in the USA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What exactly has Iran or Ahmedinejad done that merits a US attack?  Ahmedinejad has said a lot of things American Jews do not hear. Big deal. Podhoretz reaction is psychotic.  Yet, no one describes him as a dangerous Jewish extremist with much too large a bullhorn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are few ideas more outrageous than the belief that E. European Ashkenazim had the right to steal Palestine on the basis of an etymological relationship between &quot;Jew&quot; and &quot;Judea.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Zionism is not only racism.  It is insanity, and anyone that has lived with Palestinians for more than four months in the Occupied Territories since 1993 probably considers it dangerous criminal insanity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By the same sort of ridiculous logic that Zionists use, the Irish would have the right to steal Rome from the native population because most Irish are practicing or lapsed Roman Catholics and because the words Rome and Roman are connected morphologically.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moderate Jews need to take a stand against Jewish fanaticism and extremism just as the American right-wing demands that moderate Muslims must take a stance against Muslim extremism and fanaticism.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In truth, professional Jews like Abraham Foxman and David Harris equate Muslims fanaticism and extremism with opposition to the continued existence of the State of Israel.  In my opinion demanding the abolition of the State of Israel is the only position consistent with fundamental American democratic, anti-racist and human rights principles.&lt;/p&gt;
