Joseph Dana follows up on his report of this morning from Safa in the West Bank:
I just got an email from Ta'ayush activists who went to Safa this afternoon with the Palestinian land owners whose fields were burned and trees uprooted. Soon after they arrived at the farm land, IDF and police showed up. An IDF commander proudly announced that he spotted the fire last night and put it out. The Ta'ayush activists then pleaded with the forces to collect the evidence that the settlers had left behind which included matches and other material to start fires. The IDF and police refused to do so and then declared the area to be a closed military zone basically forcing the activists out of the area.
After getting kicked off the land, they accompanied the land owner to file a complaint at the police station in Gush Etzion. The police said that the complaint could not be filed without sufficient evidence. There was a run around regarding the evidence in Safa ending with the police saying that they will 'look into it'. Ta'ayush is using every possible avenue to contest this legally. There is still nothing in the Israeli press about this event.
How about some reporting about how such reports get filtered out in the main stream news media. How about some writers submitting stories
The "closed military zone" gag is becoming darkly comical. Oh, to be in the IDF. — "Honey, did you fix the air conditioner today?" — "Um … This is a closed military zone!"
… closed military zones … the 'new' last refuge of the scoundrel… The IDF is right to be scared this sort of heinous behavior might become public knowledge. The sharp drop in support for Israel in the United States has occurred without widespread knowledge of the level of barbarism to which the IDF and colonists in the Occupied Palestinian Territories have descended. I think they know that Americans are cluing in and that the end of carte blanche crimes is approaching rapidly. That's why they are going into a colonization frenzy, while they still can without immediate consequences.
It will be the camera phone not the M-16 which wins this battle. Meanwhile an Israeli woman is denied benefits for visiting her Palestinian husband. If the Israeli left can't win this battle, then maybe there is no hope for them yet. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1094651.html
Yes, the camera phone. Michael Savage P0V on USA founding fathers against entangling arrangements, is that Americans should be fixated on turning Jews into lampshades, even though that's a proven lie. The USA has been taken over (thanks to its plutocratic system of funding the campaigns of incumbents and new guys or girls, exploited by AIPAC) by Jewish paranoids, on the left, right, and center. 2% of the population rides herd over the 98% goy sheeple.
The USA has been taken over … by Jewish paranoids … [who] ride herd over the 98% goy sheeple. That is a ridiculous level of exaggeration. United States foreign policy in the Middle East has been taken over by extremist pro-colonization Zionists, and facilitated with political cover by many of the rest because of unwarranted fears that public breaks with any within their community will endanger them all. Jewish political influence in other areas has been more beneficial to America than not. Your choice of words imply a level of 'control' over America in general that simply does not exist.
