The War of Ideas in the Middle East
i don't think bombing will work. better to send a 2 man ground invasion force of kroenig and fly.
the fact that victoria nuland is state department spokesperson confirms that the obama administration is hopeless. i wonder if she or her neocon husband are sports fans?

they should have kept benzion in a permanent vegetative condition like the evil scheinermann until after the u.s. elections. spare us all the fawning
not to worry. zionists make the desert bloom....
what comes next is forcible transfer. that has always been the goal. they just need an opportune time.
they are only giving me 10 free articles a month now. i can't waste any.....
safe as in tom, rachel, emily, et al..
just coincidence that netanyahu happened to be in town this week? any word on these murders from our president?
as long as we are talking crazy conspiracies; who was meyer lansky?
they might be selling this as a defensive war but it is nothing of the sort. it is offensive.

what a joke
cool story. sounds like sound advice... reading 'what price israel?' way back when had a huge impact on me. always thought highly of that guy.
Tal's thoughts on the environmental impact of settlement blocks?
If anyone is looking for the other perspective; Raja Shehadeh's "Palestinian Walks, Forays into a Vanishing Landscape" is a wonderful book especially if one enjoys being out in nature.
so there is an acceptable narrative to this story we now live. strange that this site will openly discuss the notion of jewish power and influence in the present U.S. government/ foreign policy realm but negate any past historical examples of that same power. how do you guys think we got here? i don't believe that you can achieve your goals by tip toeing through what is indeed a complex history. good luck though. and should this comment ban me; great site/ great people and a worthy cause.
"Well, judging by the HUGE ovation barry got last night for his ” iron clad….IRON CLAD!!” relationship with Israel line, it seems like the US Congress is on board…….."
yes sir. nbc panned right to a grinning "iron clad" chuck schumer moments before an approving joe lieberman (when obama talked tough on Iran). So NBC clearly knows the culprits. still the sotu was 99% domestic agenda but Obama had to get those 2 foreign policy points in. when are we going to be reminded of our iron clad commitment to portugal or some other western nation?
Actually, pretty impressive of the Times to mention the Adelson gifts at all. Arthur best be careful least he ends up like poor old Alfred Harmsworth
" The State Department awarded $750,000 to an Israeli nonprofit to team up with the Israeli show and develop classroom activities."
while we close one of our district's elementary schools due to lack of funds right here in the hudson valley of new york.
classic! i guess god promised the land to new yorkers...
Mr. Slater, In the context of a "war of ideas" your contribution to this site is most valuable and appreciated. Please reconsider.
only 2,000 years of moral thought? so whom might these be, the world's greatest religious and secular "thinkers"? perhaps by your just war principle, or that of the world's great thinkers, it is time for the law abiding nations of the world to begin a military campaign against israel. even if there be some innocent victims along the way?or are israel's crimes not quite the same as japan or german
kinda tragedy, not triumph...this guy is dangerous. ww III guaranteed
great report. the police presence was most likely your department of homeland security dollars at work. i try and not listen to npr especially chartocks. too biased, though sometimes subtly, on i/p, middle east issues.

june 30, 1922, the us house and senate passed joint resolution hr 360 mimicking the wording of the balfour declaration. at that moment both the democratic and republican parties were effectively hijacked into the zionist camp. iraq was simply a war the zionists wanted. they will get more
if this were fiction adelson would be the ultimate archenemy. something around 200 million dollars to "jewish" causes per year. and if that in itself is not such a bad thing, much is directly benefiting israel's military machine. one organization of which he is a founder/ principle donor is the iaf center, a tactical training and research facility dedicated to most aspects of military aviation including drone warfare. so when some hapless palestinian is collateral damage to a lockheed martin hellfire strike his surviving family, if there are any, can thank sheldon's generosity (they can thank lockeed martin also for proudly siting on the iaf centers donor wall of honor). all while his wife's substance abuse clinics treat the equally hapless crack/ heroin addicts of vegas. down and out victims perhaps of adelson's very own gaming industry.
and of course there is his funding of freedom watch. how many unknowing victims can be attributed to those iraq war cheerleaders? is it safe to say that there is perhaps no greater traitor to the american people than this, unfortunately most successful, self made man? every role of the dice/every spin of the wheel comes up blackjack! his fortune is purported to increase by a cool 1 million dollars per hour. 20 million to newt is just a poor days wage. what a bright future it is. so when he's done bleeding the united states dry he can move his gambling show on to china's 1.3 billion potential clients. no wait, he's already there. do you feel lucky, china?
friedman is running interference. yes it is a conspiracy. end game destruction of both iran and the u.s.
yes, paul findley was tuned into aipacs power back in the 80's.
this hidden hand has been at work for a lot longer than that. it is well practiced. all verifiable history.
while the protest singers of yesteryear rust, lupe has at it. his is a strong social conscience. the past is now establishment, or maybe just too afraid to touch the taboo subject. thanks lupe.
maybe a broken heart...
he was carrying a significant majority into that congress. the power, however, was not with the people
Ironic that you would idolize Herzl. In fact he was left rejected by the Talmudic Russian rabbinate, the true leaders of your Zionist project. For all practical purposes excommunicated for daring to suggest a national home in Uganda rather than Palestine at the Sixth Zionist Congress. The Russian delegation literally turned their backs and walked out on him. Dr. Weizmann, who would later take his place, describes Herzl's final humiliation;
“He came in, looking haggard and exhausted. He was received in dead silence. Nobody rose from his seat to greet him, nobody applauded him when he ended … It was probably the first time that Herzl was thus received at any Zionist gathering: he, the idol of all Zionists.”
Within a year he was dead at 44.
per my post above, founding zionist groups had no issue in colluding with the third reich. certainly different circumstances yet there is a fascinating history. if you haven't already done so read this book for the details;

The 1950 Law for the Acquisition of Absentee Property has to be one of the greatest scams in the history of mankind. Exactly the sort of legislation one would expect when the thief is allowed to pen the law. Basically, if a Palestinian left their usual place of residence for any reason, or any time frame....it could have been only one day...between November 29, 1947 and September 1, 1948...the property could be turned over to the Custodian of Absentee Property who would either look after it until the rightful owner returned, or more likely, to hand over to the state to parcel out to a foreigner from over seas. As a retroactive law, that unwitting victim probably didn't even realize that visiting his cousin two years prior was in fact the reason he lost his entire existence. The ingeniousness of this nefarious bit of legislation is that the new found state's Custodian of Absentee Property was the sole arbitrator in all disputes resulting from these thefts. His alone was the final say. Still, being human, the custodian would certainly make mistakes, but never mind that, the law of this 'bastion of democracy' took care of that also...for the law shall remain in force even if later it is proved that such property was not absentee property at the time. Yes, Israel is indeed a state grounded in the"law".
good point. rose has surrounded himself nicely with something closer to the top one tenth percent. amanda burden's father being stanley mortimer, an air to the standard oil fortune. her stepmother was the daughter of averrell harriman. it would be hard to imagine that rose, given the company he keeps both socially and professionally, doesn't know precisely what's going on. these are not stupid people, but clearly they are not going to rock the boat. this is the power of the lobby....stronger than old money
" and the certainly ten*s* of millions non-jewish victims of Bolshevism, with Christians especially getting it in the neck. (Not to mention the especially enthusiastic participation of jews in tormenting those victims.)"
spot on. what force is this and to what purpose was it created?
pretty good list, although really needs expanding. i'd add david "a clean break" wurmser and his zio wife dr meyrav wurmser of memri infamy.
thanks for making me sick first thing this am. perhaps i can re-pay the favor?

brando financially supported the terrorist group Irgun thus aiding the ethnic cleansing of palestine. these later comments of his, a change of heart i suppose?
yes,

how could this scoundrel ever have been an honest broker for peace when the conservative talmudist congregation he founded (with thomas friedman) outside bethesda, md (kol shalom) believes in the taking of the land little by little

simply coincidence that ross and friedman (in his columns) placed the blame for the collapse of camp david on arafat?
criminals
Ross should be deported back to Israel....
the 1,027 non's are simply exchanging their Israeli prison for the larger confines of Gaza's open air prison.
the obit should have read; the world today would be a better place if porat died 65 years ago....
at parent teacher night recently (grade 6) we were informed that history class would begin with ancient civilizations and with luck make it as far as the first world war. then we were told that in spite of that ambitious task the students will still cover the holocaust and get at least one book in on that subject, to which the parents all nodded approvingly.
Friedman is smart enough to see what's coming down the road. At some point he will jump ship, the opportunist that he is. Not to discredit W&M fine work, but I think some credit should be given to Paul Findley's book written in 1985, "They Dare to Speak Out", which helped expose the lobby's influence. These are interesting times, indeed.
MR. TONER: Matt- sorry but this administration is owned by the Zionist state. Next question

got it wrong too. a week here without power though trivial in comparison with some communities in the catskills being totally devastated. maybe time to divert some foreign aid $$$ for reconstruction here at home. any idea where 3 bil or so might be found?
