Ros-Lehtinen bashes occupation and illegal settlements

By 10

The congresswoman has a bold piece up in the Washington Times. Boy does she get it. In Cyprus, that is.

By its occupation, Turkey is “guaranteeing” nothing but a creeping annexation. It is time for Turkey to withdraw its military troops, end all support for illegal immigration to Cyprus and let the true inhabitants of the island determine their own future. Only then will the long-suffering Cypriot people finally enjoy the peace and security they have been trying so desperately to achieve for decades.

Is this about Israel too? Bashing Turkey?

With Ros-Lehtinen everything is about Israel or Castro’s Cuba.

MY COMMENT: It’s probably about securing for Israel as much as is possible of the natural gas in the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea.

Congress and Obama have just put a new pro-Israel piece of legislation into law: New Visa Legislation Enables Israeli Investors to Create American Jobs:

Last week, President Obama signed into law H.R. 3992, bipartisan legislation introduced by Rep. Howard Berman (CA28), which would further open America to direct investment by Israeli investors, provided Israel reciprocates with similar opportunities for American investors. The law adds Israel to a list of 80 countries whose citizens are eligible for E-2 investor visas.

E-2 visas are temporary visas granted to investors from a particular list of treaty countries. To qualify for this visa, foreign national investors must intend to come to the United States to develop and direct the operations of a business in which the foreign national must have invested — or be in the process of investing — a substantial amount of capital in the enterprise. In Fiscal Year 2011, the United States issued 28, 245 visas for this purpose.

Israel is a significant trade partner with the United States. In 2011, bilateral trade with Israel totaled $26.9 billion, and it is among the U.S.’s top 10 largest per capita export markets. Israel is a world leader in security and defense technologies, medicine, agriculture and clean energy. As we work to build an America Built to Last, and get our economy back on track, the Obama Administration is focused on supporting and generating investment in these and other critical industries.

This legislation was co-sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans and passed the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate unanimously. As Rep. Berman stated the day the legislation passed, “This bill sends enterprising Israeli investors a clear and unambiguous message: the United States is open for business. The expansion of Israeli enterprises here will result in job creation for American workers.”

This is the lady has supported war against Iraq,Lebanon,Syria,Yemen,Libya,and Iran.She wants to attack Pakistan and Sudan and Alzeria. I may be wrong on one or two of these counts. But I am sure she in due course will agitate to start war against that one or two countries ,she may not have yet started. Why i am saying this? Often people ask me to name the person with references.I tell them that they are so numerous and so common, if you have not heard it yet, you will soon.
Its like the rabid dog off its leash. Has it bitten that guy over the other side of the fence? The fence is the Israeli wall.
