• Isikoff expose of Gingrich backer -- 'All we care about is being good citizens of Israel' -- puts 'Israel firster' issue in mainstream
  • llama lady January 30, 2012 at 1:36 pm

    El was actually the Canaanite god of creation. Doesn't that throw Zionism into the blender?

• 'Invented' Palestinian confronts Gingrich at GOP debate
  • llama lady January 29, 2012 at 8:23 pm

    It has been days since this happened and yet the incident still makes my blood boil. I have never seen a member of the cheering section treated so badly by those who depend on the cheering section. Newt showed that he has no clue how the rest of the world would react if the US opened the gates of hell by moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Romney showed an absolute lack of curiosity about the conflict and no understanding whatsoever of the plight of the Palestinian people.

    Dear God, please save us from them.

    And I fervently hope the young man who was treated so badly is no longer affiliated with the Republican party.

• Ron Paul on Israel
  • llama lady January 12, 2012 at 5:24 pm with 2 replies

    Funny, Israel doesn't appear shackled to me....

• Christian group dedicated to derailing divestment bankrolled by settler-funding philanthropy
  • llama lady January 5, 2012 at 7:52 pm

    Thank you, Walid! We know from our annual conferences that this task will be difficult but it must be pursued. With a recent investment decision reversal on funding private prisons, we do have hope.

• Michele Bachmann says Obama 'laid the table' for the Arab Spring
  • llama lady October 1, 2011 at 10:34 am

    Like the Arab Spring was a bad thing.

• Ismail Khalidi: A tragic lecture, justifiying a vicious occupation, with no awareness that we killed the two-state solution
  • llama lady September 23, 2011 at 12:01 am

    Amen. And may God forgive this country for not paying attention.

  • llama lady September 23, 2011 at 12:00 am

    I see some Twister-like gyrations here. To believe that a greater sin would be to not create greater Israel and that the evil being done to the Palestinian people is less than the first is inexplicable. Is that what you have to do to justify the Israeli government's actions?

  • llama lady September 22, 2011 at 11:51 pm

    it took 15 years after the international Olympic committee's sanctions to drag the US into seeing that apartheid was wrong. I surely wouldn't expect anything quicker now, especially with all the money involved. I will be trying to educate as many people as I can in the meantime, though. The Occupation is sinful and must end. Now.

• Michael Rubin says Obama/Khalidi will support Palestinian statehood so as to wreak 'Israel's demise'
  • llama lady August 20, 2011 at 12:22 pm with 10 replies

    I would point out that Rahm Emanuel probably had more influence than anyone with the President, and that codified Israel's arrogance. I am still looking for this Administration to say that enough is enough and pull all aid to Israel. Netanyahu said they didn't need it anyway, so why support this sort of military hubris?

• If 1.5 million Jews were locked up in Gaza, where would 'Commentary' be on violent resistance?
  • llama lady August 19, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    the USSR is gone to everyone except Michelle Bachmann, who considers it a "rising threat" and who also believes gas prices were 1.79/gallon in late 2008...

    Otherwise, spot on!

• Glenn Beck's pal and the 'synagogue of Satan'
  • llama lady August 19, 2011 at 9:27 pm

    assumes that blacks are sub-human...

    Tea Party. Seriously.

    Agreed.

• Another Congressman uses attacks to say US must block Palestinian statehood
  • llama lady August 19, 2011 at 12:24 pm with 1 replies

    No, it's not going to be imposed by the UN as long as the US insists upon taking one side.

    When is enough enough to make us turn righteous?

• Attacks lead Israel to condemn the Arab Spring
  • llama lady August 19, 2011 at 12:22 pm

    So they tracked the trail to Tahir Square and thus the people of Gaza must die. Am I missing something here?

    And I do believe in Israel's eventual judgment. It just isn't happening quickly enough...

    The Prophets are screaming right now.

• Weprin ought to read Hamlet
  • llama lady August 19, 2011 at 12:29 pm

    Life imitates art. I very much like the comparison.

• Leading Brooklyn rabbi says boycott is 'reprehensible' and the answer is for civil society to encourage 'moderate' Palestinians
  • llama lady August 18, 2011 at 10:27 am with 5 replies

    Really? Because I was looking for the moderate Jewish voice from the US and Israel. I just have trouble hearing it.

    This will go on until the US Jewish community makes it stop. The rest of us can only try and educate them to see what is really going on.

• What to make of the Israeli movement for social justice
  • llama lady August 14, 2011 at 10:47 pm with 2 replies

    It saddens me that in all likelihood these protests will lead to more taking of Palestinian land to create "affordable housing" (read: Greater Israel)

    How I wish they were truly driven by righteousness rather than self-interest.

• Eyewitness to Judaization (I saw a soldier strike a young boy for walking on a road for Jews)
  • llama lady August 4, 2011 at 9:21 pm

    Certainly similar to my own experience. We owe it to our Arab friends to make sure we tell the story to all who can listen.

• The olive conversion (and what Mom said when she came to visit Palestine)
  • llama lady July 22, 2011 at 10:57 am

    I loved this. Can't wait to read the entire book but the blog on her website about her parent's trip is priceless for its clarity and emotion.

• A search of the archives show how little has changed
  • llama lady May 18, 2011 at 1:38 am with 1 replies

    Absolutely nothing has changed. It would be helpful to work on a map showing the "unrecognized villages" and tell the story of the widow's house in Alsira which was demolished because it was unrecognized. Water is a real challenge for this village.

• No-brainer: Temple Mount is holier to us than them, so it's ours
  • llama lady April 12, 2011 at 11:37 pm

    I consider myself anti-Zionist but not anti-Jewish. My problem with Zionism is the same as my problem with Apartheid. Did God create a superior race? I don't think so. But that was the Zionism I saw when I was there.

  • llama lady April 12, 2011 at 11:34 pm

    But would a one-state solution treat both the European Jews that make up a significant part of the population and the Arabs that make up a much larger part of the population as equals?

    Not from what I saw.

    The Palestinian people are not the caricatures you hear about in the US or in Israel. But it serves a very narrow and prejudiced agenda to portray them that way.

  • llama lady April 12, 2011 at 11:25 pm with 2 replies

    The old belief was that God was inside of the mount, but I thought that was disproved during the Babylonian exile. Besides, try getting close to the Western Wall of the mount on a Friday morning. Not so easy.
