Those keys sure look like WMD! Call the ADL!
The real issue is how does all this propaganda make its way into training courses. There's far too much of it, spread far to wide, for it to be an accident or the work of a few isolated hate-mongers.
We know there's a well-funded and highly-orchestrated Islamophobia industry. Do part of its operations include subverting anti-terrorism training and turning it into Islamophobic indoctrination?
Anyone who criticizes America hates America.
Some criticize America for not sufficiently supporting Israel.
Therefore, those who criticize America for not sufficiently supporting Israel hate America.
See where Kerstein would take us?
"...no Israeli politician will be able to retreat to the 1967 lines as long as Hamas will not radically change its views."
If Israel returns to the 1967 borders, Hamas will become irrelevant. It will lose its support of the Palestinian people (what it hasn't already lost).
"...people who want Israel to be torn apart and everybody to be massacred."
Like Israel tore apart Palestine and massacred Palestinians in 1948?
Could someone post a link to Pappe's US schedule?
As Guttman is a Jew, attacks on him are anti-semetism. Ackerman must be a self-loathing Jew. One wonders why.
And if and when Israel uses these subs to nuke another country, Germany will have on its hands the blood of the victims.
Germany owes Israel nothing. It paid its debt in full long ago.
She forgot to mention that Muslims drink the blood of Christian children at Ramadan.
And did you defend Prof. Norman Finkelstein's freedom of speech when OJ Dershowitz waged his jihad to deny him tenure?
BTW, Oren is a foreigner and has no rights here.
If Geller is correct, then Lincoln provoked the Klan into lynching blacks, and Zionists provoked Hitler into killing Jews.
It's also great with Scotch and Bourbon whiskeys.
Obama may not need Jewish money. He plans to raise as much as $1 billion for his reelection campaign, mostly from small donors. The risk to The Israel Lobby is that they spurn him, fund his opponent, but Obama wins. Then all bets would be off.
The teahadists in Wisconsin and elsewhere have fired up the Dem base with their blitzkrieg on collective bargaining and the right to vote (the the teahadists, voting for non-whites is a privilege, not a right), their demonizing public school teachers and Hispanics, and their professed eagerness to destroy the economy to protect the wealth of the Koch brothers. The Dems will be fired up next fall.
This will set the stage for Obama to win in the face of Jewish money (but not Jewish votes) going to whichever teahadist wins the GOP nomination. Should this happen, Obama's second term will be open season on AIPAC.
So then no Jew can be trusted because of Bernie Madoff. That's his reasoning.
If only Jews can debate Israel, then only Palestinians can debate Palestine.
How about boycotting Harvard as long as OJ Dershowitz is there?
Lidice.
Some of those involved with the film are Jews. The attacks on the film thus are anti-semtism, or actions of self-hating Jews. Only by crushing anti-semitism such as attacks on this film will the world be made from this cancer, this racism, this pure and unadulterated evil.
For the government of Israel to condone such anti-semitism is truly disturbing.
Kill women, children, and the elderly? Just like the Zionist did in 1948. Acts that led some of them to complain that they were acting like Nazis. And in Gazauschwitz in 2008? Where's the outrage when the victims are Palestinians?
Amazing how the identity of the victims determines criminality.
The Palestinians have a long, long way to go before they match the Zionist record on terror and murder. And the gap is widening.
When you drive people to desperation and treat them like animals, they lash out.
If the PA acts like Israel, they will rationalize the killing and do nothing to bring the perps to justice.
Do we subsidize the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades with $4 billion per year?
Do we protect the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades diplomatically?
Do we look the other way when the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades kill thousands?
Do we look the other way when the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades invade neighboring countries?
Do we ignore the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades stockpile of 300 nukes?
Do we ignore the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades bulldozing US citizens to death?
Do we rationalize the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades fencing in a millions Jews into a concentration camp?
If you can't condemn what Israel does to Palestinians, you can't condemn what Palestinians do to Israelis.
How do you say "thought crime" in Hebrew?
Where was this DA when the teahadists were disrupting Dem candidates' rallies or town hall meetings?
Huckabeenejad.
Where's the DA who's charging the Muslim-Americans for protesting at Oren's speech?
This sounds like terrorism to me. The USA Patriot Act is called for.
I think he looks like one of the alien children in the1960 British sci-fi movie, Village of the Damned (which was much better than the 1995 remake).
Expel Muslims or I will make you kill yourself!
If those praying were flying Air France, they would have been well-advised to pray that their luggage arrived in one piece.
Don't forget the 1967 formal legal opinion of Theodor Meron, chief legal adviser to the Israeli Foreign Ministry:
"It is my opinion that civilian settlement in the administered territories contravenes the explicit provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention."
He further ruled that private colonies contravene the explicit provisions of the 1907 Hague Convention.
How the NY Times could omit this is beyond me.
Is it safe for a boat that small to sail in the open sea?
Absolutely. So where's the criminal prosecution of everyone involved? Or is Il Duce above the law?
"'There are no civilians during wartime,' Yossi declared under oath."
Precisely the justification for martyrdom operations where a suicide bomber walks into a school and pulls the trigger.
The Muslims conquered Spain from the Vandals and Visigoths. Who conquered it from the Romans. Who conquered it from the Carthaginians. Who conquered it from the Phoenicians. Who conquered it from the Celts. Who conquered it from who knows. Who conquered it from the Neanderthals.
Did I leave out any conquerors? There've been so many.
Peretz is a total prostitute. Himmler had more honesty and integrity.
They'd look better in their brown shirts.
Will starts with a bald-faced lie: "When Israel declared independence in 1948, it had to use mostly small arms to repel attacks by six Arab armies."
Israel attacked first, as part of its long-planned ethnic cleansing campaign. Someone needs to educate Will on the facts.
Do the US and the West subsidize China, North Korea, and Burma with billions in financial and military aid every year?
Do the US and the West look the other way when China, North Korea, and Burma sell top-secret US military technology to hostile foreign powers?
Do the US and the West excuse and defend every human rights violation by China, North Korea, and Burma?
Do the US and the West veto every UN resolution condemning China, North Korea, and Burma, regardless of the merits?
Do the US and the West subvert their national security interests to those of China, North Korea, and Burma?
Do the US and the West hold the rest of the world to a higher standard than China, North Korea, and Burma?
Do the US and the West excuse as "mistakes" attacks by China, North Korea, and Burma on US Navy ships that kill 34 and would 175?
Do the US and the West rewrite history to justify the actions of China, North Korea, and Burma?
Do the US and the West reflexively condemn UN investigations into human rights violations by China, North Korea, and Burma before even reading the reports?
There would be no need of a BDS movement were the US and the West to hold Israel to the same standards as every other nation. The BDS movement is a result of one thing, and one thing only: our blind favoritism towards Israel, a favoritism extended to no other nation.
Hold Israel to the same standard to which we hold other nations and the BDS movement will wither away.
If anti-semites agree with you that 2 + 2 = 4, does that mean arithmetic is anti-semitic?
Would "Zio-fascism" be the more appropriate term? It would encompass the non-Israeli groups that act to further "Israelo-fascism"--and is more snappy, me thinks.
The flotilla should have no one but Jews on it. This will present Israel with the dilemma of attacking Jews or letting the ships get through to Gaza. Either outcome is a PR debacle for Israel.
By having only Jews on the ships, Israel will be unable to claim the ships carry terrorists. The ships should all be registered in the US (if legally feasible) and fly Old Glory--the biggest ones they can find, like the kind car dealers use. This will put Israel in the position of attacking US ships. The lead ship should be named the "St. Louis." This symbolism is obvious, as the St. Louis was the ship that tried to land Jews in Palestine, but was shunned everywhere. Finally, all the ships should be packed with video recorders, and the data uplinked in real time to a satellite or other remote center to prevent Israel from being able to hide its actions from the public by seizing the cameras.
The Kristol ad had its intended effect. Sestak had to swear allegiance to Israel.
Mission accomplished.
Like the Beatles song, Back in the USSR.
What would have happened if she declined to meet with Shabak/Shin Bet?
Does the law require Israel to have military superiority over the US? We are a Middle East power, after all.
Test
Is this stale because it was 10 years ago? Does this quote still represent the position of the Israeli government?
Ask FM Lieberman. Just last year he stated publicly stated that "[b]elieve me, America accepts all our decisions."
"Lieberman: U.S. to accept any Israeli policy decision" (Haaretz, April 29, 2009).
So no, nothing has changed.
Yes, let Chelsea convert. Under the guidance of a lesbian ultra-Reformed rabbi, and then she can pray and read Torah at the Wailing Wall.
Ken, when will you be visiting Gazauschwitz?
And the Jews didn't have a country for about 2000 years. A bit stale.
So Dershowitz has declared Goldstone to be takfir.
"'States of Denial' (I think they punted on the headline)"...
I think the title is pretty witty. What's wrong with it?
What does Israel have to lose from committing war crimes? NOTHING. Thanks to the likes of Dershowitz and the rest of The Israel Lobby, Israel need only worry that the US will one day stop letting Israel lead it around like a pack animal leashed with ring through its nose. Until such time, world opinion is completely irrelevant to Israel.
This reality clearly shows that Israel can and will continue to thumb its nose to the world as long as its Lobby controls US policy towards Israel. A blank check from the world's only superpower means you don't have care about what anyone else thinks.
Let's rephrase Goldberg to make it more realistic:
"Here's a simple test: If Nidal Malik Hasan had been a devout Jew, with pronounced anti-Palestinian views, and had he, say, committed one of the largest security breaches in US history and given reams of classified data to Israel, would his religion have been considered relevant as we tried to understand the motivation and meaning of his treason? Of course not. Elite opinion makers, as a rule, try to protect Jews and Jewish loyalty to Israel from investigation and criticism."
That's why we still have The Israel Lobby pressing for the release of Jonathan Pollard.
"A Palestinian state cannot be created by terrorism."
I wonder how the families of the dead at Dier Yassin feel about this statement. Terrorism worked for the Zionists. Any number of Israeli historians have made this clear. See, e.g., The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappe. Why can't terrorism work for the Palestinians?
