This user account status is Approved Comments Comments Posts Posts annie I feel you! I can understand how it can pollute your mood to read hour in and hour out (minute by minute?) comments with the Nazi analogy - right you are, as well, about Hollywood overdoing the Nazi thing. Having grown up on watching WW2 movies, I am totally done with them - it is over, leave the Germans alone I say. However, I do agree with the Nazi analogy - if the "shoe fits" and all that. Your cry for understanding from commenters who utilize (rightly imo) this Nazi comparison reminds me of that old vulgar joke: Gynecologist comes home after a particularly long day at work, he is met at the door by his wife wearing a lingerie, clearly in the mood for romance. He says wearily, "honey, if i see one more v#@&na today I'm going to lose it". Vulgar jokes aside, the one thing that gives me hope, hope for the Palestinians in particular and for the people of the Middle East (as well as Americans who's resources are been used in furtherance of the mother of all injustices today) in general is the inherent weakness of Zionism. This whole cruel, inhumane, anachronistic and ultimately self defeating project is all based on American underwriting. I understand the awesome depth and breath of Zionist power - the seemingly total penetration of every American institution of any consequence but, nevertheless, if this whole thing is dependent on misinforming Dick and Jane their days are numbered. It will be within my life time when a politician will run on anti Aipac ticket then its lights out for this heinous project in Palestine. History's dustbin awaits and it does have room for this evil Europian ideology. I weep for this young lady - RIP. There are more of us in this world who are saddened by this brutal murder than those who do rejoice over this untimely death. It makes me cringe to read comments from people who are attempting to shift the blame to the victim - they've clearly lost their humanity and should be shunned by those of us who value human life regardless of who it belongs to. On Settlers gawk as Palestinian woman lies dying at checkpoint (Update) @echinococcus: I believe what you say in your comment is correct. My take on this is similar to yours. It isn't ungratefulness if you believe what you're taking belongs to you in the first place. They have a sense of ownership (of the US) that is, frankly, not too far off the mark. But, I think there is another element to this over the top arrogance too often on display within the zionist ranks; it is a confident believe that American's can't do a thing about it. Remember Sharon's "we run America and the Americans know it" I'm paraphrasing of course. Their tentacles are deep and Jewish grip on the most important American institutions is firm and complete- the Media, finance and banking, hollywood and music/entertainment, academia, major publishing houses etc. LIke you say, their confidence appears justified. On God is on Israel’s side, but not the United States, says Israel’s new U.N. ambassador @ M "It is nice to see a discussion of the racism of both JVP and Allison Weir/IAK. Weir is quite obviously a racist (and “anti-semite”)," You're full of shit and your attempt of balance notwithstanding quite possibly projecting your own bias on AW. But first let me commend MW on finally, albeit belatedly shining some light on this matter - although i wish Adam and Phil would state where they stand on this matter. Also, much respect and gratitude to the indefatigable annie. As a black man who is neither a US national nor a citizen of the US and with a overtly Islamic sounding name, i can tell you my identity in contemporary America represents what i would call a layered risk and liability. It is the reason i quickly cover up my black cell phone on the passenger seat (lest it be mistaken for a loaded Ruger) as the officer who pulled me over walks towards me, shooting hand resting on his/her holster. I have lost both employment and business opportunities solely because of my name . I am telling you this to establish my "minority hood" bona fides and to let you know that my racism detection capabilities are next to none - it is nothing less than a survival instinct. AW is no racist nor is she anti-semite. You assert that AW is "quite obviously a racist and A. semite" based on what evidence for it is not quite so obvious to me? I have followed AW for a number of years and yet to detect a scintilla of racial animosity towards minorities - i have nothing but respect and admiration for the lady. If you're going to open your big mouth and accuse her of racism it behooves you to present some evidence other wise you're offensive on multiple levels - one of them being phuckin' with our intelligence. Furthermore, you state the name "IAK" itself is racist. Is it the new OG Kush strain you're smoking for you're "obviously" out of your silly mind? The name is provocative and apt but racist? how? The questions is, is it racist or anti semitic if it is true? Fact is, if your Americans who are by and large misinformed knew the scope and depth of Zionist political machinations in the US they'd be (rightly) pissed. AW, IMO, is attacking the soft underbelly of Zionist power by informing Americans - free Washington, the plan goes and you free Palestine. JVP and other J-groups are primarily, it seems, working to preserve Jewish privilege - even the pro-Palestinian activism they engage in is (correctly) for the benefit of Israel. If you're going accuse AW of racism, show some evidence. And, how the hell do you know she is not familiar with Edward Said's writings and ideas. As to why there aren't any Palestinians and people of color participating in the round table, I believe annie has answered that question some where in the commentary. "If Americans Knew,” is racist. She obviously means white Christians by Americans." and you know this based on what evidence? listen, I am very familiar with racist coded words and dog whistles, but i heard or seen none from AW and her org. Is this you JH? On Roundtable on the Palestinian solidarity movement and Alison Weir "lets ignore the peaceful Iran Iraq war. Lets ignore the peaceful killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq by Iranian supported shi’as. Lets ignore the peaceful firing of peaceful Iranian missiles into Israel by the peaceful Iranian surrogate Hezbollah." Steve, I have seen you on these pages before and I think you should know better than to spew such nonsense here. While i wouldn't call any government "peace loving", your apparent sarcasm doesn't work - what you say is essentially true. If Hizbullah weren't firing those "peaceful" missiles, your tribe would be building nice little settlements by Litani river bank. As for Shia militias killing American soldiers, thats what usually happens to invading soldiers - but somehow i don't believe you care one iota about the safety of Americans be they soldiers or civvies. Give it a break man. Or at least find a more suitable venue for your b.s. Ohh, why do i even bother! On ‘If we don’t take out Iran,’ it will reenact the Holocaust in US and Israel — Steven Emerson to Times Square rally Thank you annie. On ICC rules prosecutor to reconsider ‘Mavi Marmara’ investigation WOW! great news and brilliant reporting annie. Pretty strong statement from the Judges in calling it a "material error" which, if I'm not mistaken means a type of (material) error that if corrected changes the final decision or outcome - and in this case changes it to prosecutable. On a side note ( a little belated but), I wanted to congratulate you on your radio interview ( few weeks back) with the great Scott Horton - my favorite radio guy hands down. Beautiful voice you have to go with your beautiful soul. Phil's done great too btw on the Scott Horton Show. Now, who was that one dissenting judge? On ICC rules prosecutor to reconsider ‘Mavi Marmara’ investigation Somewhere in the East African Rift Valley a Massaai chieftain is furiously banging his rungu (walking stick and defensive weapon in one) after reading this travesty. Well, why, everyone knows the best, happiest and most productive cowes belong to the Massaai tribe. In fact, the Massaai's creation myth itself states the first Massaai came down from the heavens with a gift from God - yes you guessed it, it was a cow, the first ever in the world. The Massaai is chosen by God to be the owners of the most superior cows in the known (and unknown) universe. I spent two years in my early teens in a boarding school deep in Massaai territory and i assure you the Massaai, unlike the clearly delusional Jews of Zionist persuasion, know that a myth is a myth. On ‘Jewish cow’ is udderly superior to all other cows in the world, Netanyahu says "I have never stopped listening. It is the tool I use to tune my BS Detector. It takes a lot of practice for me to hear the more suble manipulations. To see what is missing/unsaid." CigarGod, you have a good point with the above comment. However, you apparently have a stronger constitution than i do - i just can't stomach it. Especially that tongue-smacking fool, whats his name, Seagal? My B.S. detector got overloaded and bursted into little pieces long time ago. Now I am operating under the assumption that all that is said by the MSM is B.S. - especially with regards to Zios. On After a hard week in the news, Israeli gets valentines all weekend from NPR "I stopped listening after 9/11 and have never looked back. Couldn’t stomach their coverage. And this was after having been a devoted listening for nearly thirty years. I wonder how many others they lost like me." Here is another one they lost blah chick. My breaking point was when they refused to call "torture" torture opting instead for the infamous "enhanced interrogation" euphemism. Ughh…the other day while cleaning my wife's car I turned on the car and the radio was on NPR. Some hack named Mike something was reporting on the Texas pool party police brutality incident. This hack, was saying how this police officer was trying to subdue a uncooperative teenager (read a 14 yearl old child in a bikini) and was compelled to pull his weapon when two "males" ( read two young black boys - children really) approached him in a threatening manner - I immediately shut if off and put on the Scott Horton radio show. On After a hard week in the news, Israeli gets valentines all weekend from NPR I would bet a shekel you did a general search for "ethnically cleansed peoples" and picked the Hoa Chinese to get your "whataboutery" in. No way, a heartless colonialist of your ilk would care enough to read up on non-Jewish suffering that happened in Southeast Asia. Jackdaw, you do realize this website is generally focused on the topic at hand, right? What really are you trying to accomplish here with your comments Jackdaw? It is a sincere question - surely it isn't to win hearts and minds for zionism? I don't get it! Great news wrt the new Nakba museum - It will be an eye opener for a lot of Americans.
