watch this video and tell me Israel is not
Posted in Gaza, Israel/Palestine, US Policy in the Middle East, US Politics
Not to worry, Uncle Sam gave Israel a bunch of the latest bunker-buster bombs in September, at Sam's expense, just for this clean up job:
National Press Club on C-SPAN now, with various Muslim-American speakers crying out against the war on Gaza going on as I type–including reading out an open letter to Obama signed by various
Muslim-American entities–Muslim Americans voted for Obama
in the highest percentage of any groups' vote. Time for change, they demand, time to be even-handed, time to end the conflict–yes, we can, as Americans. When Israel uses American-supplied weapons to
kill Palestinians, we Americans must demand Israel honor international law, "a true friend tells you what you don't want to hear, not just what you do want to hear." Ask hard questions to BOTH sides, not just repeat one-sided sound bites!"
Re the C-SPAN segment today:
Summing up American Muslim community, and Muslim world community around the world: Expect Obama to be fair, and comply with international law, asking for inclusion, for rule of law–Obama needs to recognize his 89% strong Arab-American (mostly Christian) constituency; if they are equal citizens, they should be treated so.
Q & A by attendees to/from the panel following its speakers:
This vanished after announcing it would take place. Cameras just showed attendees picking up their coats and leaving…
Earlier today, on C-SPAN, Washington Journal topic for call-ins was discrimination, Hate Crimes and the American Arab community.
Yesterday morning,
Gaza was the topic for a brief period on the same show–15 call-ins, with 3 taking the boilerplate pro-Israel line, 12 against…
Why is C-SPAN the only TV news show that has opened up a debate?
Washington Journal comes on at 7AM EST-10AM, when, during the workweek, few can watch it. Most Americans do not have, e.g., TIVO.
Israel notes it feels no pressure from the world about its attack on
Gaza:

Yes, yes,
What never fails to amaze me is that if the United States was doing what Israel is doing in Gaza, every "progressive" Jew in this country would be unilaterally condemning the US, and rightly so.
But Israel gets a pass by so many of those "progressives".
It's not even a matter of dual loyalty. The double standard smacks of uni loyalty.
Hey, it's American manufactured and paid for arms versus hand-held screwdrivers:
Rocket kills one, injures nine in Ashkelon
A Palestinian this morning entered a synagogue in Kiryat Sefer and stabbed a rabbi and another man with a screwdriver.
Globes' correspondent29 Dec 08 10:45
A Katyusha rocket killed one person and wounded nine in Ashkelon. The casualties are reportedly Bedouin construction workers from Rahat.
Calls by Hamas to Palestinians to take revenge on Israel are apparently finding a receptive audience. A Palestinian air conditioner technician this morning entered a synagogue in Kiryat Sefer in Upper Modi'in and stabbed a rabbi and another man with a screwdriver before escaping. A security guard in the area reportedly subsequently shot and critically wounded a Palestinian, possibly the stabber or an accomplice.

Your hopes that Obama would change US polocy in the region was tragically wrong. He was and is a con man who fooled the naive as badly as Madoff.
He has has come out in support of this massacre.
US policy in the region will not change until the power of the Israel lobby is broken. We can expect more massacres until that happens.
Obama first of all fools himself–it was in the dice; look at how he
dissed his white family segment; yet it's more convoluted–now, he's
dissing the Pals, whom he recognized as those who suffer the most
in the middle east–what is consistent about Obama is that he comes out in actual favor of whichever will bring him and/or keep him in power… watch him change like a eco-light bulb, depending
on which way the wind blows, which he will learn, as always, from
Rabbi Axelrod…
Watch this video and tell me that the Israeli military industries that made the Typhoon are not FUCKING AWESOME.
