A reminder that next Tuesday, Oct. 27, in NY there will be an important rally to support the Gaza freedom march at the end of the year. The great Jeff Halper of the Committee Against House Demolitions will be speaking. So will Joseph Massad of Columbia and Ann Wright of Code Pink. Should be a great rally.
Here is a video from Gaza of Gazans calling on outsiders to join the march and help open Gaza up. We want to show you Gaza civil society and resistance, they say.
Yes, yes, all that, all that, you are probably right. But I get the impression you wanted to say something negative about him. What was it?
Okay, this hasn’t happened here before. Unless I posted in the wrong thread, the comment I’m replying to has been sensibly removed. In that case, please, take mine, too. No problem.
I was wondering what the hell that was going on. I thought you were making a joke about the article and it was going completely over my head, as is so often the case…
Well, saying something negative about exactly whom?
Citizen, there was a comment above mine. The commentator listed a lot of negative things about Jeff Halper, I think, and I responded to it, and then it disappeared. I just think that if they choose to remove a comment (as is their perfect right) and I have made a response to that comment which makes even less sense now that the comment is removed, take mine down too, so people don’t think I’m crazy.
Oh, and BTW, you know how I’m always saying that Mondowiess should maybe take some advice from JSF about comment moderation? Well, Levi999 did me the favour of informally summing up his comment policy this morning:
“There are no hard and fast rules for moderating but usually we reject racism, time-wasting and serial dishonesty”
Of course, that means comments won’t appear immediately, which really detracts form the immediacy which makes a blog exciting. And it cuts down on the number of comments because of that. It’s a tough decision.
Thanks, Mooser. I like those guidelines, especially serial dishonesty. And yes,
there are drawbacks as you explain.
Got to remember, Citizen, that requires that every comment be looked at, and in the case of equivocal comments (for example) Levi 999 (#?) might have to try and engage them in comments to see where they are headed, possibly warn them “Hey, that won’t do, you want to try again?” and so on, possibly eventually saying, “Ok you’re outta here”
It’s clumsy, it’s imperfect, and time-consuming.

Israeli Jews take on settlers :

Thanks, Nolan. I imagine Obama probably knows these facts–he’s going to ignore them and has. I found this on the same site regarding how certain Jewish American organizations very Likud in bent glibly have their own neocon version of the Protocols, the same Protocols
the J-Street says are represented by W & M’s book. Makes one realize that merely bringing up the value of Israel as a net asset or net anchor on US interests and/or
whether or not a blank check to Israel furthers American values or not–will surely
bring up the subject of the 19th Century hoax dreamnt up by the Czar’s IT operatives. What should American gentiles make of this attempt to shut down
discussion of American foreign policy?
Here’s the reference:

Mike Evans (looks like a SNL typecast for a used car salesman) interviewed on 8/24/09 on CSPAN2 is being repeated now. Says
Jimmy Carter is not an anti-semite but is wrong on everything. Says the Camp David
Accords failed because Carter wanted everything settled, but Israel couldn’t do that; he gave as an example that Carter was ignoring Iran at the time. Evans answers the long
occupation and misery of the Palestinians by saying, essentially, the Palestinians are
a made-up people, they don’t really exist, and even if they do now, the reason there is no peace is because there’s no support by the Arab nations for that. Says 9/11 was
an attack by Arab terrorrists of the USA phallic symbol–and predicted by the Jerusalem Post beforehead. Says we give money to Arab states sending a message
that (their) crime pays. Yikes!
“Jimmy Carter actually believes that the terrorist groups are unperfected civil rights orginizations” and the Carter Center is a front for Arab terrorists.
“AIPAC isn’t that big, does not have a lot of members, but they mobilize Christians–of the sort like the bible reading Truman, who had read it twice by age 12.” This response
by Mike Evans to a caller who participated in politics at a level where he was shocked
by how quickly AIPAC mobilized with letters, emails, faxes, etc.
Ah, this explains this oily goy:
