• Important tantrum: Netanyahu adds 'NYT' and Thomas Friedman to growing list of enemies
  • catherinewriter December 18, 2011 at 4:21 pm

    I think this goes in the folder entitled "See, you're not sucking up enough."
    Or, perhaps, "See, we really are insane."

• Turkish harbormaster let 11 of us sail (and 25 are left behind)

    Don't understand all the secrecy, activist hard feelings, Turkish authority decisions, etc., but know that with you involved, the outcome will arc toward justice. Be safe, Mazin, and all of you.

• Ahmet Dogan: 'US failure to support my son comes from the same policy that has led to support for Middle East autocrats & Israeli governments that have long oppressed Palestinians'

    Ah, dear sorrowing father. Bless you, sir. Am so enraged, and so sad. Cannot begin to imagine what he must be feeling.

    Annie, what have you heard about Ahmet Dogan? Would love to know more. Does anyone have info on the tour schedule Professor Dogan will be following here (U.S.)? Thanks in advance.

• American-made teargas was also fired in occupied East Jerusalem

    Just a quick note to see if my login is working.

    Is this like the one whose contents killed Jawaher Abu Rahme and blinded Emily the American artist?

    Whoever decided that it was a good idea to identify the country of origin of various weapons, chemicals, etc., must be kicking himself now. I'm waiting for that requirement to disappear, as in the case of the food industry refusing to label GMO or GBH foods.

• Israeli expo in NYC markets penthouses in settlements

    Finally was able to log in. A great site you have, thanks.

    Incredible video, or maybe not. But I didn't know whether to laugh or hurl.

    A lot to respond to here, but I'll just ask one thing. My understanding has always been that the billions of bucks we taxpayers give to Israel each year are for defense, or mostly defense. So where does the state get all the money needed for moving hundreds of people there and paying for so much - health care, jobs, rent, etc.?

    (Not that I think it would be okay if our tax monies went for Aliyah, just that I thought we paid for the bombs and tanks and caterpillars and walls, etc.)
