The US and Israel are both settler states in a promised land. That explains the special relationship between the countries. Stop demonizing Sheldon Adelson for corrupting US policy

There is no democracy in Greater Israel. Millions of Palestinians under occupation have no votes, and no rights. We need to send a strong and clear message to our fellow citizens and to our representatives in Congress that Israel’s abhorrent behavior is immoral and unacceptable.

Amer Shurrab tells JVP’s national conference: IDF used toxic chemicals in the Gaza bombardment last summer. Many women in Gaza have been having miscarriages since then, possibly due to exposure to those chemicals.

Newspapers are supposed to cover both sides of a dispute, but a NYTimes article on settlements could not find a single Palestinian to interview.

V15 is a campaign to end Netanyahu’s prime ministership. It has the help of a former Obama aide, and has a humorous ad that imagines one voter’s power to usher Netanyahu from office.

Jeremy Ben-Ami said today that a Livni Herzog governing coalition would be “radically different” from Netanyahu on peace negotiations. But it would not be a leftwing government and might include Lieberman, who called for beheading Arabs.

Days away from elections in Israel on March 17th, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party may not be able to recover from the dive it took in the polls this week. They are down—more than they have been since campaigning began in December. He is expected to get 21 seats while the Zionist Camp headed by Labour’s Issac Herzog and Hatuna’s Tzipi Livni, would get 24. However, Israeli elections are determined by voting blocs and not individual parties. And so even if Bibi loses, he can still win. And if that happens, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Netanyahu’s effort to get the US in a war with Iran has caused infighting in the Israel lobby. Barney Frank said that Israel and AIPAC had lobbied members of Congress a decade ago to support the disastrous war in Iraq.
