I'm dedicated to fight and expose those that affirm the sanctity of life but then add that there are some lives more sacred than others.

@ American, i recall when Jessie Jackson Jr. visited Israel on AIPAC's dime and came back full of praise. I believe I read it here about an Arab MK critizing him for the trip. I'm sure he is aware of what happened to Cinthia McKinney. The Congrestional Black Caucus will not dare raise a peep even if Israel tries to reconstitute the Slave trade.
Kraus says "a single man, no matter how brilliant, cannot alone shake the foundations of power". How true! the POTUS is sort of like a train conductor; he can speed it up or slow it down but no steering capabilities.
@Gingershot
"Islamophobia has been driven into the American psyche by racist Jews (Gaffney, Cliff May, Joe Lieberman, etc) intent on indoctrinating their phony Islamophobia into America until America is a mirror of Israel, eternally ‘forced’ to fight Muslims for her very existential existence"
Exactly how things appear to me at least since 2006; in fact, if the reason for all these wars were turned into a mathematical equation, yours will be the only anomoly free theory I have heard so far.
As the saying goes, a "good friend will bail you out of jail but, a real friend will be sitting right next to you in that cell". Israel, with the help of their ascendant co-religionists here in the states sought to make Uncle Sucker a "real friend". Amazing that as a black man I long for the days of the WASPS - at least it was America they were mainly concerned with.
There are differing theories as to how and why the US went hair-line deep in the blood and gore of Muslims. Some blame it on a combination of special interests and the general mood for revenge, at least wrt to the Iraq rape. Heck, a case could be made that it was all Dick Cheney's wet dream. After all, of that group, Dick, Condy, Rummy and little Bushie, the president appeared to be the only one capable of getting laid ; can you picture Condy, the "beatifull black flower" of the late Col. Qataffi, squirming, gushing in her executive seat as the first bombs hit Baghdad? But, I digress!
I'm inclined to believe that Israel, fully aware of the tribal (all outrages against the tribe must be avenged) nature of Arab society is actively seeking to plant a deep and enduring enemity between Muslims and Americans.
What a heartless reptile that Condy, calling the carpet bombing of Lebanon the "birth pangs" of a new middle east. Kind of reminds me of that malignant toad, squatting in the CBS studio like jabba the hut (Ward Churchill's description), declaring 500K of dead iraqi tikes are worth the price.
"What’s with the spitting?" indeed! having known the cultural significance of throwing a shoe at somebody in the Arab world, this spitting business appears to be the Jewish version of it, albeit a litte less hygeinic.
Perhaps the more knowledgable folks here (and there are plenty on this site/thread) would care to explain.
Having said that, there is absolutely nothing Jewish about this type of child abuse. All minority and super close knit religious societies are susceptible to this type of folly. It comes from a strong desire not to air the family's dirty laundry lest the "other" might use it agains them.
When i see or hear the words "Israeli High Court", or Israeli "justice" system, I remember a story I heard years back. It was during the South African Apertheid and Archbishop Tutu was a disident meeting officials from the Zimbabwe Government. One of the attendant, a high official from the Zimbabwe Government, reportedly contradicted Archbishop Tutu and angrily yelled at himsaying, "what i say came from the mouth of your own (South African) minister of justice"
Archibishop Tutu, famously replied (and i am paraphrasing here) perhaps we should ask the commander of your Navy for his input. The official replied , Sir we don't have a Navy, we are land-locked.
I am convinced "anti-semitic" in today's environment, means someone who the Jewish Establishment doesn't like; the ultimate Orwellian double-speak, methinks.
Interesting! You are very much appreciated as always, annie. I have my own little cold-war going on here in my sleepy corner of Minnesota-nice. You see, i recently re-named my wireless connection to "ZionismISracism", compacted due to space limitation. I obviously pissed off some zionist enough for him/her to change the name of their connection to "ArabKilla".
Hmm. I don't know what made him think i am an Arab, I am not. Anyway, we're both holding on to our guns and the cold-war continues. My wife warned, if he is a bone fide, J-blood positive Zionist, he might call his cousins in the Shin Bet or Mossad and borrow a device to triangulate our position-home. I called her a hopeless paranoid.
A Powerful missive!
Citizen, that statement was tounge-in-cheek. I was Giddy with excitement when i read Phil's article. Besides, citing Chriss Rock was to signal my un-seriousness!
Great news Phil and much appreciated.
Oh boy! This thing (Zionism as is practiced in Israel today) might actually vanish in my life time. I recon i can squeeze another 30 plus years out of this body and If I stay away from Armed white citizens (can't catch me on foot) and the Police (this group is the third leading cause of death among black males in my age group per Chriss Rock, after hypertension and heart desease), I migh, i just might live long enough to see the end of Zionism as we know it.
"It is time for a Jewish conversation that faces—rather than evades—the realities of our time," " Peter Beinart wrote in kicking off that blog. And one of those realities is that a Jewish voice is more powerful than a non-Jewish one in establishment circles."
Yes Phil, y'all run this - for now, and i sincerely hope it doesn't end in a tragedy for your tribe! It is as if the dominant Jewish establishment is trying its' darnest to validate the fake and libelous Protocols of Zion and the classic anti semitism of yore; the Jewish courtier who poisons the Kings ear.
Dan, I don't think your guy Dersh is worried about this here! He is busy tearing a new orifice for those Uppitty Goys over at CAP (already done - forced to hire a pro-colonial PR Firm) and plotting on Media Matters (M J Rosenberg you are a marked man). These 55 whippersnappers will be handled by less venamous critters like Pam Geller.
Dan, is this your stand up comedy routine? I think I missed the punch-line.
Yes, you are absolutely right Dan. The first thing that came to my mind when i saw the headline was Shyne. I gotta admit, when i first heard of this story about Shyne's conversion over a year ago, i suspected it was some clever trick by Shyne to beat his deportation from the US. I mean, deporting a caribbean born rapper from the US is one thing, barring one Moshe Levi from entering the US is quite another!
Your analogy will send shivers down the spine of any bona fide Zionist!
The overt hostility that has been emanating (from election to current) from the right wing part of the Jewish elite towards Obama can only be explained by racism. I don't say this lightly but, it is the only theory that makes sense at this point. As a 37 year old black male who has spent all his adult live and some of my teenage years living in the US, racism (or accusing someone or some group as racists) is a serious business. This, after all is a problem that can have a devastating effect on my family by directly impacting my earning power, making me more likely to be locked up and so on and so on..
Obama gets bitch-slapped by Nutty making him eat his own words with regards to settlement construction; he responded by giving Israel few dozen Bunker Busters and Instructing Susan Rice to run interference for them at the UN. He made the whole world know in a forceful language how strong the so-called "unbreakable bond" is. He is currently picking a fight with an enemy who has spent over a decade preparing just for this fight - yet on behalf of Israel. Heck, if Nutty insisted on an indecent proposal, do you have any doubt the cowardly Obama will deliver the beautiful Michelle in a black dress?
What then, pray tell me, explains this visceral reaction to everything Obama? Could it be, (Phil cover your ears and eyes the gloves are coming off) that the leaders of the chosen people just cant stomach the POTUS is a black goy!
P.S. Are they even capable of pulling this off?
"live exhibition of penetration raids in Arab territory,"
Wow! I imagine they mean the undefended Palestinian territories since i don't see them "penetrating" the Hezbollah defended Southern Lebanon.
Speaking of those pesky Hezbollah boys, that ill fated Israeli war in 2006 reminded me so much of Mike Tyson and Holyfield II. During this second bout between these two gentlemen, Mike (a man i admired and still wish him well) run into a boxer who, was not intimidated, have studied him extensively, knew how to avoid Mike's famous over-head right (read: Israeli Air force) and his vicious upper cut (Read: Golani and Givati Brigades in Bint Jbeil). In his (Israel's) frustration or in ability to knock out Holyfield (Get Hezbollah to cry uncle and return the bodies of the dead soldiers), he bit his ear off (peppered Southern Lebanon with Cluster bombs).
Amen to that one!
You are absolutely right John and I stand corrected. Personally, I found the name poetic justice !
The racism practiced in Israel does generate anti-semetic reactions in some parts of the world. For example, in Mogadishu Somalia, a particularly aggressive tropical plant that takes over abandoned homes ( tribal-ly cleansed) in a relatively short time is called " geed yehudi" or the Jewish plant.
“[T]he U.S. government fed up with Israel’s leadership [is] a hostage to its ineptitude, because the powerful pro-Israel lobby in an election season can force the administration to defend Israel at the U.N., even when it knows Israel is pursuing policies not in its own interest or America’s” – Friedman, September 18, 2011.
Wow! Ever since his "suck on this comment", I've had this fantasy that Mr Friedman, while touring Iraq would run into a well aimed Thermobaric, dual warhead round from an RPG - there suck on it. May be i can begin to forgive the guy, just like I forgave Andrew Sullivan for his momentary insanity over at TNR
Someone really needs to tell the Zionists to come back to reality. Someone needs to tell 'em that the reason they haven't succeeded in subduing the Palestinians, Syrians or even the people of Southern Lebanon, is not due to lack of access to the executive branch - Obama is just as compelled to do their bidding, nor is it some kind of tactical error vis a vis the Palestinians.
The reason Zionism in Palestine is doomed to fail is that the price they have asked the Palestinians to pay is simply too much bear. The Palestinians would have to commit national suicide to accept Israel on its' current terms.
Likud's negotiating tactics reminds me of a scene from the movie Independence Day with Will Smith. If you have seen the movie, you'd surely remember the scene where the character playing the POTUS is brought to area 51 to see the Aliens. He asks the Alien, in a seemingly sincere tone, "what do you expect us to do?". The Alien, talking through a slain scientist's vocal cords, responds.......Die.....Die....
If anything, the election of Newt Gingrich would probably accelerate the decline of American Power across the board and simultaneously diminish the power of Zionists who work through the US Government. Can you imagine Gingrich and Santorum ticket with Bolton slated for secretary of state ?
I love that woman!
I've seen a Hasbaratchik complain about you Cliff on the NYTimes commnt section not too long ago - sorry didn't save link.
I salute you sir!
A powerfull letter. It will move anyone with a heart! Say, on a lighter note (and off topic, sorry), I am a frequent reader of mndws although i don't comment much because far more articulate people like that indafatigable Annie and many others usually express my point better than me. I wonder though, whatever happened to such notorious Hasbarists and Trolls as eee, Homphi, Witty and others? Has there been a defunding of Hasbara activities or have they been mercifully terminated by Phillip - enquiring minds want to know.
"freedom fowl" or "pilgrim Pullet"
Made me laugh so hard I woke up my 9 month old girl.......oh well..... Off to changing diapers!
If Israel were a star, it would be right around the time before it runs out of Hydrogen to burn! May we all survive the coming collapse.
Lying to Goys doesn't count - or does it?
Thank you for the info. I'm 15 minutes drive from S. Mpls. and will be there if it is held.
When will we rein in our fair haired boy in the Middle East, America?
"But I still find myself amazed every time I see Israel’s US supporters write so publicly and boldly about how they intend to and do manipulate and control the United States government for the benefit of their foreign homeland".
Well, American, question you ask has been boggling my mind for quite sometime, especially when you consider over 200 criminal and espionage investigations stopped dead in their tracks due to pressure from above (google if you doubt the number). Pat Buchanon calling Congress "Israeli occupied territory" comes to mind.
Somehow, the dual malignant cancers of Zionism and Wahabism would need to be excised if the American Republic is to be saved. Anyone who has accurate info and is beyond childhood years should be able to see that the House of Saud and that of Zionism will perish, and soon.
How such an accomplished, industrious, prosperous and brilliant people (jews) don't see the unsustainability of their little project is beyond me; I must me missing something.
