In a totally Israel-centric column in the New York Times, Shmuel Rosner says that neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump have Israel’s best interests at heart in the coming election. Such Israel-narcissism, in the leading US newspaper!
Neoconservatives were the big losers in Marco Rubio’s defeat. Chris Matthews speaks openly of them as Jewish supporters of Israel, because their power has been eclipsed. Hillary Clinton is sure to make a play for their support. She already has Robert Kagan.
Was Hillary Clinton bribed to support the Iraq war? Her vote was a mistake, she tells Chris Matthews on MSNBC, but “part of what certainly influenced me” was George W. Bush pledging a year before to give $20 billion to rebuild New York.
Bernie Sanders should speak at AIPAC, the leading Israel lobby organization, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, next week, and he should give “the Jewish speech” to rival Obama’s famous race speech: and call for an end to US military aid to Israel and support the BDS movement to pressure Israel to stop persecuting Palestinians.
Donald Trump says Muslims hate the U.S. and that’s an important problem. Marco Rubio says many Muslims love the U.S., but Trump is “anti-Israeli” because he wants to cut a peace deal between Israel and Palestine.
Hillary Clinton and countless Clinton aides and supporters will join neoconservatives at AIPAC. Bernie Sanders could make a statement by declining the invitation. Does he have the guts?
Storytelling and poetical language may be the best way to change US attitudes on Palestine, as a panel of contributors to the collection Extreme Rendition featuring Zia Jaffrey, Sinan Antoon and Teju Cole at New School last week got a welcome reception from packed crowd
In a bid for Sheldon Adelson’s millions, Marco Rubio desperately issued a list of foreign policy advisers that is an Old Timers team of neoconservatives and Israel supporters, led by the inevitable Elliott Abrams, Eliot Cohen, and Dan Senor.
Penn student for Marco Rubio who is working to get John Kasich thrown off PA primary ballot is also active in Penn’s pro-Israel organization, further evidence that neoconservatives are massing desperately behind Rubio.
A study released in November 2015 by 416 Labs, a Toronto-based consulting firm, reveals that the New York Times portrays Islam and Muslims more negatively than alcohol, cancer, and cocaine. Based on a sentiment analysis of online and print headlines spanning 25 years and 2,667,700 articles, the study found “strong evidence that Islam/Muslims are consistently associated with negative terms in NYT headlines.”
