		<description>&quot;In September, 2007 Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that the route of the wall in Bil’in was illegal and should be changed. Over two years later, the wall remains, unmoved.&quot;

This is what the Israeli Supreme Court is famous for,  making pronouncements and nothing of substance happening afterward.   This is the fate of all judgments that are just a dog and pony show,  no teeth no follow up for the rulings which contravene the real plans of the state.  Every institution becomes a joke.</description>

The preceding budget deficit number is an &lt;i&gt;estimate&lt;/i&gt;.

		<description>Colin, you are right. The USA exists with justification only to support Israel--ask any Israeli on the Israeli street, or any member or supporter of AIPAC. Meanwhile, Colin, please contact your local USA reps regarding Shafiq&#039;s comment.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Right now, the cards are falling our way in Iran. Why toss in our hand for sanctions that lead — to where?&lt;/i&gt;

... to another war for Israel. Zionists want an attack on Iran irrespective of Iranian nuclear capabilities or intentions, and irrespective of whether it is in America&#039;s interest. The lives of our servicemen and the incessant government borrowing that will one day be paid back with very high taxes by an impoverished people are an acceptable sacrifice for us to pay, in their eyes. Our federal deficit from 2009 alone was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/jan-june09/deficit_03-20.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;$1.4 TRILLION&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Zionism is a far greater &lt;i&gt;internal&lt;/i&gt; security threat to the United States of America in the 21rst century than Communism was during the twentieth.</description>

		<description>I just got this message from the Gaza convoy:

&lt;blockquote&gt;To all friends of Palestine

Our situation is now at a crisis point! Riot has
broken out in the port of Al- Arish.

This late afternoon we were negotiating with
a senior official from Cairo who left negotiations some two hours ago and
did not return. Our negotiations with the official was regarding
taking our aid vehicle...s into Gaza.

He left two hours ago and did not come back.
Egyptian authorities called over 2,000 riot police who then moved towards our
camp at the port.

We have now blocked the entrance to the port and
we are now faced with riot police and water cannons and are determined to defend
our vehicles and aid.

The Egyptian authorities have by their
stubbornness and hostility towards the convoy, brought us to a crisis
point.

We are now calling upon all friends of
palestine to mount protests in person where possible, but by any means available
to Egyptian representatives, consulates and Embassy&#039;s and demand that the convoy
are allowed a safe passage into Gaza tomorrow!

Should be: 

Although (at least) the Israeli settlers are totally ungrateful...

(And isn&#039;t this interesting since so many of them were born in the USA)</description>

		<description>&quot;Unlike Israel, we have no nuclear weapons, and no army, but we do not want or need those things. With your support and the justice of our cause, we will bring down Israel’s apartheid wall.&quot;

Although (at least) the Israelis are totally ungrateful for what the goy world to help Jews, and most Israelis (from what I&#039;ve read) say they don&#039;t give a fuck what the goy world thinks--because the goy world was not there for them when Hitler did his thing--I&#039;m reminded of what someone said on this blog on another recent thread: that most living people would act just like those in the historical situation did at any time and place (assessed or surveyed later).  A thought, didn&#039;t the Italian Jews support Mussolini; many jumped on the original fascist bandwagon--which was cool until
Hitler pressured Mussolini to get serious with Italian Jews--and how about Solsinitzen&#039;s
review of 1905 and 1917 Russia in that book that still has not been offered in English?
And now? Gaza. West Bank. The actual life of non-jews in Israel inside the green line?
What is the USA foreign aid and our military operations in the middle east leading to?
Who is this empty suit Obama? If he cannot inspire root change in the USA domestically or in terms of foreign policy, nobody can. And he&#039;s playing it safe, his bottom line, the comfort and power of his own family. Don&#039;t we need a leader who is more than a mere family man (good, as far as it goes)?  Especially since the USA is the only current superpower? Is it reasonably possible that for the first time, a third party candidate will have a chance next cycle at the oval office? The twin pincers of our economic condition, and our foreign policy condition, getting worse by the day as Obama ignores his historical calling, as does our Congress, makes it actually plausible.</description>

		<description>No, Obama won&#039;t support the Palestinian struggle for freedom.  Not until stories like this one can be told everywhere, until people in the US are made to realize what their nation is supporting.

It is a damn shame and disgrace.</description>
