The War of Ideas in the Middle East
Meanwhile back at the ranch---http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/netanyahu-price-tag-attacks-cannot-be-compared-to-hamas-terror.premium-1.530205
PM supports designation as 'forbidden organization' but opposes classification as terror, claiming it would increase Israel's delegitimization and damage its international standing.
Go figure.
Friedman would do well to reflect on the violence ( tero-eeesim) carried out by Jews when it suited their aims.
"The Palestinian leadership, by contrast, for decades has used violence whenever missile attacks or suicide bombers suit its aims." Friedman
I truly dislike hypocrites.
"It is Israel that has shown an inclination to absorb punishment, though the country's tolerance stretches only so far before it responds militarily to attacks." Friedman.
His attempt at humor would be acceptable were we not talking about Apartheid colonialist Israel.
I want to remind to the locals that when they ask “what has the peace process ever achieved for the Palestinians”, they (the “locals”) shud ask themselves if the situation for the Palestinians was better or worse before the implementation of the Oslo accords.AP
It might be more appropiate to ask if the situation is far better for the Israeli---sorry, Zionists given that Netanyahu bragged about destroying the Oslo Accords.Why he dooo dat??.
"And how did he do it? He recalled how he conditioned his signing of the 1997 Hebron agreement on American consent that there be no withdrawals from "specified military locations," and insisted he choose those same locations, such as the whole of the Jordan Valley, for example. "Why is that important? Because from that moment on I stopped the Oslo Accords," he boasts. The real Netanyahu also brags about his knowledge of America: "I know what America is. America is something that can be moved easily." For the White House's information. "

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Zionists. If we are unable to earn your love , can we buy it.
Et Al , No but try earning our respect first, then we can talk about love.
The Zionist mind--a perpetual challenge to all clear thinking people.
I had to stop eating my breakfast after she stated she jumped for joy at being sent to Hebron.
Her brainwashing obviously began long before she joined up.
All very sickening.
Ah yes, The most moral army in the world and Light unto the Nations.
No thanks Zioville, wont be using your mantra as an example of how to live.
Your actions against the Palestinian people makes England,s behavior in Ireland seem almost saintly.
But worry not , the day of atonement is nigh and the price will be the end of Israel.
Last post should read, "Not" worthy of publication, treatment.
Obsidian, close your eyes---now pretend it is Jews that are receiving "fairly mild"or worthy of publication, treatment.
The Irish MSM is all over this story---the, "Irish Connection".
Of course they are not aware of Power,s cowering to the Lobby to get what she wants.
Shame on her.
A headline from the Future?.
Why did the Jews destroy their Homeland.
that no Zionist presence is welcome in the DC area, yf
Got news for you.
Zionism is a vile racist and supremacist project and needs to be destroyed and should not be welcome in civilized society.
"Israel has the right to admit only its own citizens as it pleases on its territory. "
As we are on the subject of Israeli Territory, care to show us a map outlining said Israeli territory.
Oh and btw, if Israel would stick to it,s own territory you would not have a problem.
Self inflicted myopia.
"We are anxious to show the world our warm, modern and great country while hosting this prestigious tournament... Organising this tournament will reap a lot of fruit for Israel and a lot of our guests will go away and speak about a country which can host sport at the highest level."
Barf, barf.
I predict, will see through your charade. hopknee--
Everyone already sees through yours.
“This is a day of celebration,” not a day for criticism.
Perhaps they intend to have a "Criticise Israel parade" but cannot agree on a date.
“I’m a proud Jewish person and I’m proud of the country of Israel."
So he is proud of his country that murders/steals /ethnically cleanses and oppresses others.
Just cannot account for taste, can you.
Nice to see 35,000 Israel firsters showing their treacherous faces.
Those who believe the Israeli-Palestinian status quo is sustainable and that the separation fence will bring security to Israel are 'lulling themselves into a delusion,' U.S. secretary of state tells American Jewish Committee.

Must have read your post.
The IDF doesn’t need 800.000 Jews living beyond the green line to “protect civilians” . The IDF is a colonial police force. Same as the French in Algeria. Seafoid
Looks as if the word is getting out.

Some interesting comments from a Jewish diaspora leader in Tehran.
"They caution against comparing Iran's official and visceral opposition to the creation of Israel and Zionism with the regime's acceptance of Jews and Judaism itself."
"If you think Judaism and Zionism are one, it is like thinking Islam and the Taliban are the same, and they are not," says Ciamak Moresadegh, chairman of the Tehran Jewish Committee. "We have common problems with Iranian Muslims. If a war were to start, we would also be a target. When a missile lands, it does not ask if you are a Muslim or a Jew. It lands."

And still they ask, (Zionists) "Why do they hate us".
You gotta ask, you brainless morons.
I thought the Gaza Cafe moment was sublime.
What Israel,s Jewish citizens want is for the rest of the world to busy themselves on other oppressive regimes and leave Israel to it,s crimes.
How convenient for those who claim to be A light unto the nations and only democracy in the blah blah blah ad infinitum ad nauseum,.
.
Now that Israel has realized, it lost most of the worlds good will and trust, it is trying to reverse the tsunami that is heading right at it.
Job one, (with the help of uncle sam) is to go back to the days when the Palestinians were always the obstacle to peace and turned down those far reaching oh so generous offers made by Israel.
Too bad Israel.
No one believes one letter of one word you say.
Why the hell should they.
Deja vu. all over again and again and again.
No more false promises or trickery from the peace opponents.
Here is what the NYT did with the Israeli report
link to irishtimes.com
They share the "good news" far and wide.
Propaganda is of little use without (a)broad audience .
After all, Israel spent a lot of American Taxpayers money coming up with this vile conclusion.
"Those Israeli students have to laugh some personal fears, insecurities etc. away."
Fine , then laugh at fellow Jews and start with the very oddly dressed religious fanatics squatting on occupied Palestinian Territory.They are far far from the norm.
You are no better than those racist bigots you are defending.
“The clip is meant for comedic purposes only, and it was only meant to entertain while getting the students excited about the traditional vacation in Eilat that will take place this weekend,”
Conclusion.
You use me for comedic purposes, you anti semite Jew hater.
Me use you , me just having fun.
"An Israeli lawmaker on Monday submitted a highly controversial proposal that would make Judaism superior to democracy in the State of Israel, amending a previous bill that was tossed by the Knesset before the last general election. " Haaretz

The longer Israel lasts, the more insane it becomes.
So according to this newly proposed law, Judaism is greater than Jewish + Democracy .
You just know the gig is up when this prattle surfaces in this manner.
The only Holocaust the Jews are going to see, is the one being created by Zionists.
The end of Israel as a separate state for Jews only.
Bring on the 1SS and leave the Jewish people to forever argue about whose fault it was.
Would they dare blame it on antisemitism and Jew hatred.Who else can they blame.I mean , every possible assistance was given to them to do the right thing.
Peace Process---Peres dozes and niet and yahoo demonstrates his vision of the extent of the Palestinian state.
“Contrary to the claim that the boy was dead, the committee’s review of the raw footage indicates that at the end of the video – the part that was not broadcast – the boy appears to be alive,” the inquiry stated. “The probe has found that there is no evidence to support the claims that the father, Jamal, or the boy Mohammed, were shot. Furthermore, the video does not show Jamal being seriously wounded.”
Well, I suggest we should have this committee sitting on the Mavi Maramara review of the unedited Tape.
2as in hey honey how STUPID are you to not know that nowhere except in zionist comic books and propaganda are illegal settlements Jewish towns."
Don,t you mean Jews only towns.

I doubt they care.
Do Zionists have mirrors???.
Just two years ago , this would have been unthinkable.
We have much to thank Niet an yahoo and Lie-berman for.
They have done more for Palestinian freedom than all those who went before them.
I just hope I live long enough to see the end of the Zionist entity and the introduction of equal rights for all in a single State.
Whatever it,s name.
Israel,s Jews have no one to blame but themselves.
I thought that ADL meant anti defamation league.
Why does foxman not keep his nose out of areas he is not charged with under the ADL Charter.
Maher is a patronizing jackass and Israel apolo-jest who makes money demeaning others.
Sad pathetic moron.
"To top things off Ali Abunimah in The Guardian link to guardian.co.uk makes the amazing claim that Stephen Hawking’s support for the boycott of Israel is a turning point in the BDS campaign.A-hem
He is right.Just look at the antics and desperation of the Zio apolo-jests.
Never see them so flustered.
Even the UN vote to recognize Palestine did not create this level of reaction.
Another nail in the carcass of what was the so called Greater Israel .
"Given Chomsky’s professed views against BDS at link to youtube.com it seems as though the minds of these people depend upon whom they just talked to or what they ate for breakfast. With this kind of duplicity the ambiguity and hollowness of the BDS becomes apparent." MH
I cant get over Israel,s hypocrisy in whining about Academic Boycotts given Israel,s refusal of entry to Chomsky/ Finkelstein and refusal to allow Palestinian students to travel to the USA to take up Fulbright Scholarships they earned.
Grrrr.
"The Palestinians are worthy of concern, but not at the expense of Israel."
What a truly vicious not to mention stupid thing to say.
Israel was created at the Expense of the Palestinians.
What planet are you from.
And when Israel denies Professor Chomsky entry, is that not boycotting academic pursuits.
Israel is one huge contradiction.
Pure twaddle Norm.
Here,s why.
"The reader is urged to contemplate the following Zionist leaders' quotes in an open mind. Note that most, if not all, of the quotes below are dated before the entry of any single Arab Army into British Mandated Palestine: * In a letter Chaim Weizmann sent to the Palestine-British high Commissioner, while the Peel Commission was convening in 1937, he stated: "We shall spread in the whole country in the course of time ..... this is only an arrangement for the next 25 to 30 years." (Expulsion Of The Palestinians, p. 66) * Ben-Gurion emphasized that the acceptance of the Peel Commission would not imply static borders for the future "Jewish state". In a letter Ben-Gurion sent to his son in 1937, he wrote: "No Zionist can forgo the smallest portion of the Land Of Israel. [A] Jewish state in part [of Palestine] is not an end, but a beginning ..... Our possession is important not only for itself ... through this we increase our power, and every increase in power facilitates getting hold of the country in its entirety. Establishing a [small] state .... will serve as a very potent lever in our historical effort to redeem the whole country." (Righteous Victims, p. 138) * In 1938, Ben-Gurion made it clear of his support for the "Jewish state" on part of Palestine was only as a stepping ground for a complete conquest. He wrote: "[I am] satisfied with part of the country, but on the basis of the assumption that after we build up a strong force following the establishment of the state--we will abolish the partition of the country and we will expand to the whole Land of Israel." (Expulsion Of The Palestinians, p. 107 & One Palestine Complete, p. 403) * One day after the UN vote to partition Palestine, Menachem Begin, the commander of the Irgun gang and Israel's future Prime Minister between 1977-1983, proclaimed: "The Partition of Palestine is illegal. It will never be recognized .... Jerusalem was and will for ever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for Ever." (Iron Wall p. 25) * ""Shamir has said Israel must keep the territories in order to accommodate the immigrants. "A great aliyah [immigration]," he said, "requires a Greater Israel.
Who is the problem.
Steyn is an arrogant zionist apologist whose diatribe appeared on the pages of the Irish Times.He also wrote for J,post.Need I say more.
Am very glad the Irish Times dispensed with this racist bigot.
Dickerson, I just voted and the count was 69 yeahs.
It is 1 pm GMT Thursday so it looks as if the Hasbarats are not gaining any ground.
Up to 69 now --1pm GMT
"chose to capitulate to irrelevant pressures ".
Irrelevant, really.
Miriam, we applaud Israel for providing us the tools with which to fight it,s vile actions.How very generous of them.
Now , if they could only use those world famous brains you keep waxing on about , to make peace and learn to live as a civilized nation ,that would be a truly technological achievement .
Do not worry Miriam, very few people will be practicing necrophilia on the carcass of your theories.
You are just peed off , because you know the gig is up for Israel.
Kudos to the very brave Professor.
Does the inclusion of the Occupied Syrian Heights by Google bother the minister.
Zionist hypocrisy, like Israel, has no borders.
UN is reporting that they believe Syrian rebels used chemical weapons .

Netanyahu: Israel needs deal with Palestinians to avoid becoming binational state
link to haaretz.com
My immediate thought is , what are they up to now???.
Why has it taken so long for so many intelligent people to figure out that Israel never intended to allow the creation of a Palestinian State.I have been stating this for 15 years.
The signs have been there for a long time.
It is good that the discussion will move from the 2SS fiction to one about Palestinian rights and dignity.
"We all understand why Palestinians want the occupation to end, but does every means, including savage killing, justify their desired end?" rjl
It seems as if you are assigning special privilege to Jews.
"Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat. We are very far from having any moral qualms as far as our national war goes. We have before us the command of the Torah, whose morality surpasses that of any other body of laws in the world: "Ye shall blot them out to the last man." But first and foremost, terrorism is for us a part of the political battle being conducted under the present circumstances, and it has a great part to play: speaking in a clear voice to the whole world, as well as to our wretched brethren outside this land, it proclaims our war against the occupier. We are particularly far from this sort of hesitation in regard to an enemy whose moral perversion is admitted by all. [23]"
Jews good terrorists, Palestinians bad terrorists.
Tiresome twaddle.
"Ambassador Welcome." ( --did you bring the list of questions inaudible).
"Unlike Northern Ireland, Israel is still enforcing an illegal pass system and denying some inhabitants residency on the basis of their ethnicity or religion and the location of the wall."
Yup and Northern Ireland ended up a Bi National State (within a State).
Maybe , O,Malley , who brings shame to we Irish, should do a little reading outside of his Zionist Handler,s "hasbara training sessions".
Another bottom feeder without morals or principles.

"The system administrator has disabled this script."
Is the IOF in there already???.
"The Palestinians are NOT going back.".
Of course they are not.
They are already there.
It is just a matter of waiting until the crazy Israeli zionists commit hari kari.
The word exponential comes to mind.
Is someone keeping a list of these decisions.It would be nice to be able to shut up those who delude themselves about the level of opposition to Israel,s policies.
Kerry just went and messed up all of Obama,s ass kissing on his trip to Israel recently.
Good job Kerry, hopefully you got to see the "Real Tape".
The one untouched by Zionist hands.
Gee, I thought that only A-rabs carry out this brand of crimes.
Well , that,s what the Zionists claim in the myriad of blogs and web sites populating the Internet.
Never a mention of the most moral army using it on a more than regular basis.
Does that make me an antisemite, then.
"The student, who refused to be interviewed, added on Facebook, “I see this censorship as a serious undermining of David Grossman’s right of free speech and his freedom as an artist, and I’m bothered by the fact that the censors are educators.”"
In contrast to the Educators in Ireland who unanimously voted to sanction Israel.
The world forgets , it revolves around Israel , the so called Nation State of the Jewish people.
Et al are of secondary concern.
" Awesome. So having discovered a 70+ year old murder in the Jewish ghetto".
So history does not count when it serves the Zionist agenda.
Awesome,So having left the so called Jewish state two thousand years ago you now claim it as still belonging to Jews only.
Hypocracy.
Two State Solution???.
That was a dead prospect when Israel rejected the UN Partition plan less than twenty four hours after signing it.
"Menachem Begin, the commander of the Irgun gang and Israel's future Prime Minister between 1977-1983, proclaimed: "The Partition of Palestine is illegal. It will never be recognized .... Jerusalem was and will for ever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for Ever." (Iron Wall p. 25) *"
That there will be no 2SS is of no surprise to me.I have been stating this fact for 10 plus years.

"Throughout the Israeli elections, TIP helped journalists see the robust nature of Israel’s democracy and countered a well-publicized campaign to depict Israel as an extreme, right-leaning country."

"Guildford pub bombings went down quite badly too."
Yeah , it went down so badly, the British Gov went to the trouble of framing 4 people and they spent 15 years in prison.And in true British fashion, not one of the perpetrators spent a night in jail.
