Memo to Foxman/AIPAC: Here’s a joke from a waggish young blogger named Ryan Waggaman, who says he’s connected to Wonkette. I pass it along because it suggests the shifting image of Israel on main street USA, or as Howard Kohr of AIPAC said so eloquently earlier this year, many voices are now creating a "Predicate for abandonment" of Israel… The context for the joke is a post mocking Harvard’s money woes:

Why stop with clothing, Harvard? How about special edition Alan Dershowitz Bulldozers? “For when those Palestinians just won’t leave — now available in seersucker.” Yeah, I said it.

Or why not AIPAC brand petroleum jelly for all existing and wannaB American politicians? To ease the thrust when they bend over for their aspiring Eichmannesque careers…

I get the impression most of our politicians take it ready and willing.

Anyway, thanks for passing on the joke Phil, sheer quality.

“They’re making the case for Israel’s unworthiness to be allowed what is for any nation the first and most fundamental of rights: the right to selfdefense”

I will have to take a shower after reading this

It would seem with the track records of the different (lots) lobbys that are for the occupation and its survival and sheer propaganda efforts to erase and eliminate traces of the actual people that are native with the tax dollars of the USA and full blessings of the entire government and judiciary all in their pockets or at the end of a string ready and able to break any internation standards and all laws to pass off the biggest lies and the majority of Americans do believe the line thats towed like they are brainwashed zombies that lack reality and the response from what has been sown. How would you de program the 40 or so percent not to mention the settlers.

I know it would not matter if the president was Obama or Clinton when it comes to the occupation the results are going to be similar not different as needed.
Wom is behind the actual fiasco to do such moranic things as tell the world a quote in literal sense and then wipe 18 million and counting from their land over fables that are not representitive of real factual truths and have admittidly been embelish by the jewish scribes that put them together, knowing that why has it never been pushed through the media. And some wonder why still today the roots are being hiden …once again. Where are all the level heads in politics..be them foriegn or domestic? I hope that they are not fanatics and believe in the bringing of the end,..maybe we can ban religon publicly and state sponsored and make it a precondition to be an ally of the USA, or recall all loans and enforce the never enforced resolutions that have never been followed through. Then the other side can clean house and exile all the traders and supporters START FRESH: with Great Ideals fort everyone. I bet they would be breaking bread instead of homes and hearts and lives a decade from now.JUST TRY
