The War of Ideas in the Middle East
"Did the State Dept cave to pressure in denying flotilla activist entry to U.S.?"
I assume it's a rhetorical question.

How cute! Obama's first fatwa.
they were batshit crazy and full of resentment and hatred.
So they differ from Likudniks how?
iv) Standing ovation
The tide has turned. Well done, Norman.
Nice. Israeli leadership go to White House, get dissed, tell their hosts their phone lines suck and then head back to their crib. That's some advanced Israeli diplomacy writ large.
"The writers haven’t run jokes by clergy from any of the Abrahamic faiths, but Jean says he’s not worried about the reaction of viewers in Israel, who will see the episode at a later date."
So only Hollywood, DC, NYC and Israel see Jerusalem as undisputed land.
This might explain Milbank's bizarre sexual attraction to Rahm Emanuel.
So it's humiliation when it happens to the IDF but it's Zionism when it happens to Palestinians?
Amazing that this is on the Indiana University website.
This is a bigger shift than will be noticed.
"I think Obama may have some weird proclivities. "
He does smoke Marlboro Lights.
"You are a stiff-necked people. Were I to go up in your company even for a moment, I would exterminate you. "
There are members of my family that I don't speak to or deal with because they're nasty, vicious, toxic and harmful.
Does the White House have a minyan?
Please. As though Biden and Co. are actually shocked. This stuff is staged and scripted. Biden knows his part well.
Plaut is one of Zionism's true faces.
Steven Plaut's evil little letter to the Corries:

I'm sure Ol' Joe "I am a Zionist" Biden is an objective, constructive force for the Israel Lobby wherever he goes:
Joe Biden: I am a Zionist on Shalom TV. 2:34 into the video for the relevant schtick.
Hint to the delusional: When the rest of the world isn't going along with your perception, maybe your perception is wrong.
Just an aside, but in Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration, he had a paragraph on the evils of slavery and a reference to King George III's participation in the slave trade. It was edited out by Congress as many of the members of Congress were also involved in the slave trade.
Point being, slavery was part of the Declaration...once.
Hamas needs to get used to their resistance being crushed
How's that working out so far?
Julius Streicher said that decreasing fertility rates will eventually lead aging populations to “reject radical agendas.” He commended Germany’s economic sanctions on the Warsaw Ghetto for having had the effect of breaking “the Ghetto’s runaway population growth” and undermining the Jewish regime.
Bob got lost.
"...But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do.
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul.
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead."
Neocon = Neolib. A gilded turd is still a turd.
Does anyone recall this lovely ADL logo from a few years ago?

Ari is also Michael Moore's agent. Hence, the Bushes and the Saudis get prominent mention in Fahrenheit 911 yet Israel isn't mentioned once in the movie.
How does one make a movie purporting to touch on the Mideast and leave Israel out of the narrative?

I hope Ackerman keeps on opening his trap. He's going to fall into his own gaping maw.
"Alaska is what 500 miles from the mainland USA through Canada?"
What's that you say Julian? The Palestinians can just buy their way out of all this for the same price the US paid for Alaska - 7 million dollars?
Your history sucks.
we are there to stay now.
Careful. Those self-proclaimed thousand-year reichs usually don't last long.
Norman's great. I heard speak him here in Cville a few years ago. Richard Herskowitz (then director of the Virginia Film Festival) was sitting next to me. He and Norman had obviously known each other for some years. Norman was talking about the "new" anti-semitism (amongst other things) and relating it to old accusations of anti-semitism.
Looking at his friend the film festival director, Norman asked him, "What early 1970's musical film was deemed anti-semitic by the ADL?" Poor Richard went blank and I leaned over and whispered, "Jesus Christ Superstar".
Great little piece, Phil. Thanks.
The Arab propaganda mills exploited the fog of war to make the operation seem like Sabra and Shatila redux...
Progress! 10 years ago, I could never get any pro-Zionist to even admit that Sabra and Shatila ever happened.
In the material sense, you're 100% correct, Richard. I was speaking of the poverty of their souls.
I have every faith that those brave little think-tankers and 'zine denizens of DC that stand on the turrets and defend poor widdle Zionism from us sniveling masses are beset by the worst neurotic fears and internal demonic tortures. Good.
This debacle with Sullivan reminds me of Joseph Sobran being fired from the National Review by Buckley in the early 90's when Sobran "went off the reservation" (Sobran's words) regarding Israel. That times have changed is shown by the fact that Sullivan still has his job.
Sobran is the source of "An anti-semite is someone that Jews dislike."
That's hilarious. Rahm talking about principles, I mean.
"We all want the Torah on our side. And the truth is that the Torah has almost nothing to do with it."
This is what it always comes down to for these poor, benighted creatures: if the Torah has nothing to do with it, then where's the claim on Israel/Palestine in the first place?
It is a larger claim, a historical claim, a claim about a sinister causality, about the power of a small group to control the destiny of a large group.
God save us. The rule of a majority by a dominant political minority is as old as Empire. Toynbee and Quigley even took it for granted. Maybe that's why they don't teach Toynbee and Quigley in academia much anymore.
Is it just me or are many of the Elites' gatekeepers and keymasters* going into overdrive trying to smear anyone and everyone in the media that might take issue with the Dominant Minority as "conspiracy theorists", "anti-semites", "kooks" and the like?
Who are the Dominant Minority? Newsweek called them "The Superclass" a couple of years ago.
What all Gatekeepers and Keymasters look like under their makeup.
Jonathan Kay is the author of the latest Newsweek hit piece on the tea party fiasco in which he lumps all opposition to the Dominant Minority as "kooks". Kay is the managing editor of The National Post.
The Aspers are also pals with the Goldman Sachs mob.
"Trouble ahead, trouble behind, don’t you know that Jews just lost their minds."
Great piece, Phil. 100 points for referencing the Dead.
I think it's kind of cute that Americans still think their vote matters.
Can anyone confirm this story?
On Tuesday, 26 January 2010 approximately fifteen Israeli settlers from the Israeli settlement of Ma’on and the Israeli outpost of Havat Ma’on attacked Palestinians in the village of At-Tuwani. The settlers were accompanied by Israeli soldiers in three army jeeps and the settlement security agent of Ma’on. Villagers from At-Tuwani arrived, protesting the settlers coming into their village. An Israeli soldier punched a Palestinian villager, who was hospitalized for his injuries. Immediately thereafter, Israeli settlers began throwing stones at the Palestinian villagers while soldiers fired three canisters of tear gas at Palestinians...

Mr. Witty, I think you miss the larger point. Will we ever see an article that states, "one could say that the Gaza disaster is the best thing that could have happened to us."
hasbara is war and should be treated like any other aspect of homeland security.
I've often suspected, but never been able to prove, that "homeland security" was originally an Israeli concept.
We can only hope that none of our talented politicians is caught in front of a camera saying “We showed the world. We were really awesome in Haiti,” or something like that – a distinct possibility considering the recent mess with the Turks.
Let's hope some talented publicist doesn't get caught saying similar things in public.
I believe Phil is echoing Theodor Herzl:
"When we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties; and at the same time, when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse."
As a culture, if Jews are as smart as they claim to be, Zionism would have been discarded long ago. Rampant and fervent nationalism of any stripe is a sign of deep and ingrained stupidity, not intelligence.
