Were he still alive, I'm sure Einstein would join Hawking too.
They could also mention Israel's nukes. I think the US still has legislation forbidding aid to nuke proliferators.
Please pick me, sir, I know sir!
It is Assad! Wait, it was Ahmadinejad! No, sorry, it was Gaddafi. No, doh, it was Saddam Hussein. OK, it was all of them. Or possibly some other guy.
Looks like Israel is gonna have to start cloning Hans Brinker (ironically this legend is made up)
The money machine will keep on flowing as long as the 'Peace Process' continues.
There's a typo in the title. It says
"Obama’s 2 guests on Air Force One to Israel/Palestine both undermine his policy"
It should say
"Obama’s 2 guests on Air Force One to Israel/Palestine both underline his policy"
A post at Moon Of Alabama indicates that the FBI knew about the Chechens. There were told about them and their radicalization by the Russians. The FBI investigated them and their family.
The author 'b' asks some very relevant questions:
Did the FBI try to "turn" or entrap him like it did with so many other nuts?
If not why not?
If they did turn him did he do their bidding or was he running as a double agent?
Regarding Craft, an early video of the blast taken by someone in a building near the blast site show this man running away whilst everyone else is crouching in shock. He lack of shock strikes me as the actions of someone who has prior experience of exposure to bomb blasts.
AIPAC should be called IPAC - it has no interest in America, other than its subservience to Israel.
This sort of thing should not be banned. They expose themselves so perfectly by doing this. Let 'em 'Bring it on'.
The real threats the US military sees are those from the automatic budget cuts of the sequester. Their solution - provoke some pipsqueak state and stoke the fear so the politicos wont dare cut military spending.
It has Rendon Group written all over it. The target audience is the West not Tunisian women.
She try the same, with the slogans written in American, anywhere in the southern states. The reaction would be interesting.
Israel does want tourists, lots of them, the more the merrier. They just have to be the right sort of tourist - those that are happy to wear blue-tinted spectacles.
Obama has neither convictions nor courage.
Obama's top State Department experts on Israel inform him about the latest events in Israel.
Why would Netanyahu apologize for the murder of the American? Erdogan demanded an apology for the murder of Turkish citizens and Netanyahu refused. Now Netanyahu has faux-apologised to Turkey because Obama pleaded for a bone, a very small bone. Who (at national politico level) is demanding an apology? Almost all US politicos have sold out so they won't demand anything. No other country has standing, so Israel can murder Americans with impunity, a precedent set by the murder of the Liberty crew members. And those US politicos are happy with that.
"Israel's prime minister has apologised to Turkey for "any errors that could have led to loss of life" during the 2010 commando raid on an aid flotilla that tried to breach the Gaza blockade."
Great non-apology there, apologizing for the errors not the loss of life. Go Obama!

Yup, it's IPAC all the way. All its members should be forced to register as agents of a foreign power.
What's the difference between a Zionist and a Liberal Zionist?
I seem to remember a one-time contributor, a self-described Liberal Zionist, stating that ethnic cleansing is currently not necessary. So the only difference appears to be the matter of timing.
Israel is very skilled at using methods of torture that leave no marks. The injuries inflicted on Jaradat seem to be blatantly obvious. The obvious conclusion is that Israel wanted the torture to be detected. Why? To provoke a violent response just before, or even better, during Obama's visit? Israel would love a violent intifada to occur so they can bring out the full 'Poor Little Defenseless Israel' schtick.
Vanunu, who revealed Israel's nuclear weapons program, was tried, sentenced and released (with severe conditions admittedly) at the end of his time. He was not 'suicided' like Zygier, so that suggests Zygier was involved in something more damaging to Israel than the revelation of its nuclear weapons program. The public, glossed-over passport debacles are deceptions, distractions.
And for Obama's next act of appeasement - the release of Pollard.
Is 'donkey felator' an acceptable replacement for 'Israeli firster'? It certainly is funnier. Perhaps Mooser could decide for us?
Now the IDF knows this information exists and where it is, or at least who has it. I hope Eldar has either taken a copy of it (which I doubt given his horror) or has it stored somewhere very safe and secure.
Whatever - there is nothing behind the eyes.
So you are in the 'ethnic cleansing is currently not necessary' zone?
"Amidror said that there was a need to make it clear to the Palestinians that unilateral moves on their part come with a price."
Pathetic. The annexation was the Zionists' intent from day 1. It's a bit like a bank robber claiming the bank teller wouldn't hand over the money voluntarily, so the robber had to go ahead and steal the money.
News at 11:
California State Assembly passes laws stating pi = 3 and the sun revolves around the earth.
The camera is a night vision camera. It is sensitive to heat. When the IDF soldier fires her gun, you can see the extended hot muzzle flash with a very high intensity core, the heat of the bullet as it flies towards the victim and a flash as it hits him. This is totally different to the 'flashes' from whatever the Palestinian had in his hand. Whatever it was, its temperature was much lower than that of a muzzle flash or bullet.
Israel would renege on the deal as soon as they got what they wanted.

Rice was not the first.... Chas Freeman was first.
'In 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Chas Freeman to chair the National Intelligence Council. However, a vilification campaign orchestrated by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) blocked Freeman's appointment. As Freeman recounts:
"I withdrew my acceptance of the position. The next day's Washington Post contained three items on this: (1) a front-page account by Walter Pincus detailing aspects of the Lobby's campaign against me; (2) a column by David Broder saying that my resignation was America's loss; and (3) an unsigned editorial calling me a 'crackpot' for imagining that there was an Israel Lobby and that it had opposed me." ...'

Uri Avnery suggested Lieberman might be out for Netanyahu

This could be a pre-emptive strike by Netanyahu to fend off this threat to his dream to be a new King David.
I love the way the soldiers is drawn in handcuffs, but still has his beloved US-supplied automatic rifle complete with loaded magazine.
The Israeli spokesperson says the person they killed was carrying a gun, so it must be true. It's not as if they would take revenge for the humiliations of the previous day.
I think the white man has been outclassed in that respect by the Zionists
Whatever happens, the Zionists will pull the victim card - "they made us do it".
The same announcement would have been made if the Palestinian attempt for recognition had failed. In that case it would be described as a celebration. Zionists have the Greater Israel idea so deeply burned into their psyche that it is all they can think of, irrespective of the long term consequences.
I've been told that it is the 1930's (the sequel) so somebody has to be Lord Ha Ha.
Iranian Jews have greater freedoms than Israeli Arabs. How does it feel to be worse than Iran?
My suspicion is that Israeli State Security planted a flash-bang timed to go off as the bus passed near the IDF building. That would guarantee noise, smoke, with minimal damage and little chance of killing someone. Note the quick claim of responsibility supposedly made by Hamas and later denied by them. This is all part of a PR propaganda war to keep the Israelis fear levels raised, maintaining support for Netanyahu's long planned rampage in Gaza.
This is a bus explosion as is this. People died in both.
This 'explosion' in which no one was killed?? Can't possibly be the evil Arabs as they strap suicide vests to their women and children (as we are repeatedly told). More smoke and mirrors.

Excellent. Maybe we can also negotiate repayment of the $100 billion (or whatever it is) assistance provided to Israel over the years.

The Butcher History Institute?
They certainly are doing a good job at that.
In Teh Evul Iran (TM), Iranian Jews were free to travel to Israel and return (don't know about now given the US medieval siege). They would travel to Germany (typically) on their Iranian passport, to Israel and back using their Israeli passport, and return from Germany using their Iranian passport. Compare these vicious restrictions placed on Iranian Jews with the luxurious freedoms enjoyed by Israeli Palestinians living in the The One And Only True Democracy In The Whole Middle East (TM) (pat. pend.)
A joint strike, Rothkopf wrote, would have a "transformative outcome: ... reanimating the peace process ..."
<sarcasm>Ha haa haaa haaaaa! He had me until then. </sarcasm>
Reanimating the long dead corpse that is the Peace Process, endless talking about reasons to not have talks whilst Israel expands its theft of Palestinian land and presses the boot harder on the Palestinian' neck. Who is this maroon?
I will always think of this whatever he is called by others. The death-ray stare is captured perfectly.
I haven't read the offending text. What did she do that was so anti-semitic? Got round the streets shouting 'Death to Arabs', or defacing mosques, or maybe invoking pogroms against Arabs. Oooops, it seems the above refers to the wrong kind of Semite, my bad.
The classic way to generate resistant bacteria is to kill off just the weak ones leaving the strong. This is readily done if antibiotic treatments are cut short, usually through the patient feeling better and stopping before completing the course, or more likely in Gaza, as a result of the high cost of drugs. Zionists may dance with joy at the suffering of Gazans, but the bacteria do not have a Holocaust Complex (TM). They just like the right environment in the human body, any human body.
”So are we. The IDF is not an organization that supports violence. We are defending our country’s borders.”
Israel has borders? Wow. Israel must be a country then. Any chance of us having a look at the map that defines these borders? I know France is a country and I know it's borders. I know China is a country and I know it's borders - along with the areas in dispute with neighboring countries. So, come on Israel, show us what ya got. Show us a map illustrating the borders Israel is defending now.
Those that whine about Free Speech (TM) most loudly live in a country in which it is a crime to criticize a foreign country.

Unfortunately the apocalyptic maniacs already have nuclear weapons (200 at least), along with first, second and third strike delivery methods.
He certainly didn't use a permanent marker pen to draw the line.
Iranian Jews were (don't know the current position given the Israel-inspired US blockade) freely able to travel to Israel and back, in spite of official restrictions. How? The good ole dual-passport ruse. Fly to Germany (for example) using their Iranian passport then on to Israel using an Israeli passport. Return in reverse. The Iranian govt knows this happens but can do nothing to stop it.
So, Jews living in Iran (the most evil country in the whole world, evah (TM)) have greater freedom of movement than Palestinians under Israeli occupation.
It is strange then how normal Muslims rallied to protect Copts during the Egyptian uprising.

Maybe it is time to start handing out flyers of this article from the Times of Israel.
Choice quote:
"And let’s not forget AIPAC, every anti-Semite’s favorite punching bag. We’re talking an organization that’s practically the equivalent of the Elders of Zion. I’ll never forget when I was involved in Israeli advocacy in college and being at one of the many AIPAC conventions. A man literally stood in front of us and told us that their whole goal was to only work with top-50 school graduate students because they would eventually be the people making changes in the government. Here I am, an idealistic little kid that goes to a bottom 50 school (ASU) who wants to do some grassroots advocacy, and these guys are literally talking about infiltrating the government. Intense."
Israel has suckered the US freiers into placing a vast quantity of munitions in Israel. These a normally pre-placed in safe locations for US use in an emergency. I suspect Israel plans to use these for any attack against Iran. If it does so, perhaps the US would say- "Sorry Israel, we planned to help you but all our supplies seem to have disappeared somehow or other. It will takes us months to restock. You are on you own for a while."

There was an invitation-only gaming session at the 2012 Herzliya conference that considered how Israel should handle it's oil should the price reach $250 a barrel - sell or hoard? (The price is currently about $110 a barrel). Some ex-BP big shots were involved. So yes I would imagine a load of those present are in on deals aimed at benefiting from the planned oil price spike. I suspect Israel would be very keen to have pliable client regimes in the coastal areas of Lebanon and Syria. That would allow a pipeline route from Israel to Turkey, enabling Israel to sell its oil to the EU at a suitable price.
Another issue has also been kept very quiet. Some time after the alleged assassination an El Al flight from Ben Gurion to Hong Kong was recalled about an hour after take off. It circled for about half an hour with its transponder off, then returned to Ben Gurion to be met with heavy security and a news blackout. It was allowed to continue to Honk Kong after about 10 hours.
If the aircraft had experienced a malfunction then that would have been reported - the brave pilot saves countless passengers' lives etc, etc. If a bomb or suspicious article was on the flight, that would have been blamed on Iran and formed a causus beli. So did the mystery assassin try to escape on this flight only for it to be recalled? Myster upon mystery.
Richard Silverstein has details. Maybe it is all circumstantial, maybe not. After all, not so long ago, an American who happens to be Jewish said publicly that Israel should kill Obama if doesn't attack Iran.
Perhaps Mr Weiss and Mr Silverstein should try to follow these stories up.
A good politician is someone who can be bought. A better politician is someone who can be bought cheaply. The best politician is someone who pays you.

The guy is wearing a wig, dark glasses and a cap pulled down to mask part of his face. A bomb in rucksack, placed in luggage compartment with timer / mobile remote trigger. Man keeps small bag with him. At a rest stop, he gets out , goes into the restroom, takes out long pants and long sleeve shirt from bag, puts wig, hat and glasses in bag and walks away. Sometime later - boom!
So the facts on the ground are anti-semitic?
The other day we were told there was no occupation. If there is no occupation, there are no occupiers. If there are no occupiers, there is no Israel. Therefore to deny the occupation is to deny the existence of Israel.
The shark has not only jumped itself, it has started to eat its own tail.

Looks like the IDF are using DIME weaponry, designed to kill everyone within a radius of 12-25 feet of the center of explosion. The explosion releases a multitude of small fragments of tungsten that shred the victims resulting in massive instantaneous blood loss and death. The weapon was possibly a GBU-39 supplied by, you guessed it, the good ol' US of A.
I think the UK has sent (6 June 2012) in some SAS troops to create safe camps (inside Syria) for Syrian 'civilians'. There are also MI6 people in there as well. The same game didn't play out so well in Libya, when the Brits best troops were rounded up by local farmers.

The big plan is for Israel to gain control of the whole east coast of the Mediterranean by segmenting Lebanon and Syria. Once that happens, Israel 'owns' the whole oil / gas field just off the coast and the energy would be controlled by 'a safe pair of hands'. The attack on Iran would cripple supplies to Hezbollah enabling Lebanon to be trashed, as well as destabilizing Iran. It would also raise oil / gas prices dramatically, probably to $250 a barrel, the target figure in a recent wargame (including ex-BP hands) at the 2012 Herzilya conference. The Russian base at Tartus has been crucial in stopping the regime change planned for Syria - for the time being at least. Follow the money - the world becomes desperate for oil and oooh look Israel just happens to have plenty of gas to sell.
These guys have to get their training done somewhere, right? Where else in Israel could they get this degree of realism? Even better, if they don't get it right first time, they can always do a replay.

Title 18 of the United States Code (regarding criminal acts and criminal procedure) defines international terrorism as:
"[T]he term 'international terrorism' means activities that . . . involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; [and] appear to be intended . . . to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; . . . to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or . . . to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and [which] occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum."

Professor Slater,
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this from 972mag.com, specifically in relation to the future of Israel.
"The veteran settler leader, Benni Katzover, was caught (Hebrew) telling some meshigene Chabad paper, “Beit Mashiach”, that “I would say that today, Israeli democracy has one central mission, and that is to disappear. Israeli democracy has finished its historical role, and it must be dismantled and bow before Judaism."
With a comment:
"And I suppose he’s is being honest. It’s a while since anyone has used the ‘a vote for me will be the last time you need to vote’ argument, but sh*t! it’s got some ugly precedents."
The report (url below) also notes that he has been reported to be a leader of the 'price tag' campaign.

The officer has been identified ont the Davis Enterprise site as "UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike uses pepper spray to move Occupy UC Davis protesters who were blocking officers' attempts to remove arrested protesters from the Quad on Friday afternoon"
link to davisenterprise.com
Regarding the legality:
"A high-profile case from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals established that the use of pepper-spray against passively resistant protestors violates constitutional protections "
and
"The court began by distinguishing pepper-spray from pain compliance techniques that police officers can immediately terminate upon compliance. The pain from pepper-spray only passes with time and proper flushing, thus compliance would not terminate the infliction of this use of force. In concluding that the actions of the protestors did not justify the use of pepper-spray, the court noted that the protestors could not “evade arrest” since they had limited their own mobility; further, they were not actively resisting the officers but merely being passively non- compliant. The need for arrest as a government interest was insignificant since the protestors were only guilty of trespassing, a minor offense. As such, applying the standards from Graham, the use of force here was unreasonable. ”

The hasbara troll known as LongLiveIsrael wrote: "I had never heard of a country called Palestine. "
I have in front of me a book entitled 'Operation Babylon: Jewish Clandestine Activity in the Middle East 1946-51'. It was written by Shlomo Hillel who helped 125,000 Iraqi Jews travel from Iraq. His biography states he 'immigrated to Palestine in 1934 ... was elected to the Knesset in 1953 ... in 1959 he joined the foreign service ... served as a minister in the governments of Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin ...'
In the Prologue he describes the first flight from Iraq including the text 'The closer we came to Palestine the more the sunrise caught up with us. And then suddenly the dull brown Golan Heights gave way to the blue sea of Galilea below us, and then we were home'
He later describes a journey by car with 'Moshe Baran, of Ta'as, the clandestine arms industry of the Hagannah, or Jewish underground in Palestine' and so on and on.
He certainly seems to be aware of a country called Palestine. But then what would he know huh?
