At last! Time for a CONCERTED BOYCOTT, by fabulous Naomi Klein. The REAL, great, Jim Haygood posted this last night, at the end of 33 comments, so here it is again:

'We are Jews and Muslims and Christians and atheists and non-voters who oppose this slaughter. Yes we can. [italics added by JH]

Obama and the Demonrat and Repugnican parties are tagging along at the rear of the parade, looking disoriented and asking 'What happened? Where's everybody going? HEY, WAIT FOR ME!'

I think you're irrationally exuberant about Obama.

Yeah, HA, that's what happens when you've been heavily suppressed a long time.

Good point citizen. It's such a shame.

On the other hand, since Obama's in for 4 years, whether you have incredible fantasies about what he's gonna do, or you're a realist who already knows Obama's a fake, that will not change anything. Maybe Mr Weiss will come to his senses soon enough.

Yeah, sometime during the early phase of WW3. Phil thinks his Dad's notion that needed change in the USA will come quietly is intact--Obama will
bring us to WW3, just as Roosevelt brought us into WW2. It's as
Shrub said, the elite will act, the chattering class will chatter, and the elite will move on. Nobody acting will care much at the moment what is written in the future after increasingly classified info is finally available for the stupid History Channel.

That made me laugh. Thanks.

also, what is "the american jewish spirit"? is this some hegelian construct no one bothered to demonstrate previously?

I suggest an entirely new approach to the Israel-Palestine problem: Join Israel and the territories into one new State, with the name of CANAAN, home to all Israelis and Palestinians INCLUDING THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEES. Join Canaa, to the United States of America as the 51st State, giving all of its citizens the full rights and duties of Citizens of the United States of America. Utopia? It is worth considering an UTOPIA when any other alternative is TOO AWFUL TO CONTEMPLATE.
