Does Haaretz know about this event? Are its reporters encouraged to shill for the IDF? What’s the mission? “Friends of the Israel Defense Forces: Their Job is to look after Israel, Ours is to look after them.”
Thanks to Max Blumenthal: From the Jewish Community of Greater Phoenix. It’s May 14. I hope folks can attend.

Their job is to look after America
Ours is to look after them”–Jewish Community of Greater Israel
/Does Haaretz know about this event? Are its reporters encouraged to shill for the IDF?/
Haaretz is notoriously an unbalanced to the left paper, since when does it have
the moral right to tell it’s reporters what to attend and where to speak their mind.
Or is it that you suggest that Haaretz editor reprimand the journalist
for speaking on an event that does not fit the party line?
Do you actually know what Issacharov will talk about or do you just object to the whole event?
Where does the shill for the IDF remark come from?

It would be wonderful if the meeting could be invaded by Hopi and Navajo people who could draw a link between Anglo (ie white “American”) and Israeli settler colonisation and oppression of Native peoples.
If the poster read “Friends of the Iran Defense Forces: Their Job is to Look After Iran, Ours is to Look After Them”, you can bet the U.S. government wouldn’t stand for it. Similarly, there’s no reason it should stand for American citizens supporting the Occupation Forces of an oppressive, expansionist, colonialist, nuclear-armed, religion-supremacist “Jewish state”.
Israel gets another extra US billion….
US House of Representatives Set to Approve Almost $1 Billion in Israel Anti-Missile Programs

”Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.), a member of the subcommittee, said in a statement that “[t]his funding level is the highest ever appropriated in a single year for these life-saving programs.”
The funding is slated for the 2013 fiscal year, which begins in October. As this funding is entirely independent from the $3.1 billion in annual US military aid to Israel, the $4 billion in total US military aid to Israel in 2013 represents a record.”
4 billion would be a good boost for some work or social program for US unemployed wouldn’t it?
What the ‘friends of Israel’ count on is the general public not seeing news like this.
Israel is such a parasite?..Mafia racket? ….. in 2010 Israel ”exported 8 billion” of their own defense products while getting ”4 billion free” from us US taxpayers.
