RE: "Has New York become oddly extremist in my absence? What if a candidate for mayor said, simply (as Henry Kissinger once did) I’m strongly committed to protecting Israel’s existence, but not its conquests? Would that now be a losing proposition in a Democratic primary?" ~ Scott McConnell
SHORT ANSWER: Yes, because the Zionists believe in "full-spectrum dominance" of U.S. foreign policy as to the Middle East. They know that the rest of the world has had it with Israel's expansionist, "iron wall"xxx lugheadedness, and they are determined to squelch even the slightest variance (here in the U.S., whether in N.Y.C. or the backwoods of Alabama) from the hard-line Likudnik agenda.

Oh that’s right though, Israel doesn’t respond to same; that’s why it doesn’t declare its borders. (Despite constantly proclaiming it’s just like every other state.) They’re really secret from the rest of the world it seems. Expandable to utterly unstated and unknown limits . . ." ~ Sin Nombre

RE: "LOL Anybody send Danon’s memo to Obama and Kerry?"~ Citizen
MY REPLY : There's absolutely no need in sending Danon’s memo to Obama and Kerry, because it's all one great big "kabuki dance"! ! ! I can assure you that Obama and Kerry sho ain't no "nosy fellas"*. That's why, for the remainder of his presidency, the Israel-Palestine conflict will be Obama's "Chinatown".
Like the DA told that "nosy fella"* Jake Gittes in the 1974 film Chinatown, one should do "as little as possible" when assigned to Chinatown. Consequently, regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, expect to see from Obama a heavily camouflaged policy of "benign neglect".

RE: "Story glorifying US tourists’ gunplay in settlement is denounced as AIPAC propaganda by angry NPR commenters"
SPEAKING OF "GUNPLAY" AND AIPAC, there appears to be a "mature symbiotic relationship" between the these two lobbies. Specifically, the NRA was making common cause with Israel and the Israel lobby in the wake of the (the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting). I saw David Keene, "El Presidente" of the NRA on the
boob tubesh-t screen, and he said that when the December shooting at the school in Newtown, Connecticut occurred he just happened to be (surprise, surprise**) in Israel. It was from Israel that he got the idea that there should be a policeman at each and every school in the U.S.* (like they have in Israel).This is yet another reason I fear that Revisionist Zionism and Likudnik Israel (specifically by virtue of their inordinate sway over the U.S.) might very well be an “existential threat” to the values of The Enlightenment.
I do not want to live in a police/garrison state like Israel! ! !
