Zionists win again. They are kicking up so much dust over this as to intimidate this type of thing from happening again. They couldn’t be so more clearly in the wrong on this issue as what could they possibly defend, but amazing to see the one sided coverage of this in the American media
I wouldn’t put it past hardcore trump supporters, if the opportunity comes to hate an other, especially in the form of Muslims, they will be willing to put off their hate of Israeli influence on their government for a while
I believe the right wing Israelis got the perfect candidate for their go to war with Iran plan. Donald Trump is as clueless as George W was when the neocons selected him years ago and Trump can create enough distraction with his huge ego that there will be plenty of sideshows and domestic chaos in America keeping everyone busy while the war agenda will be pursued for Israel. He is currently assembling a right wing Israeli and American pro war team with Tillerson probably the closest to a cool head.
The last thing the Israeli/Zionist establishment in the U.S. wants is a young girl who could pass for a European with her blond hair and green(or blue?) eyes running around America humanizing the Palestinian cause. Palestinians are only supposed to be brown skinned angry Muslim Arabs who are jealous of our democracy, a white looking Palestinian might attract more Americans to the cause lol.
Hats off to Max for his article and who knows, maybe Hillary is doing him a favor by pointing at him and his article. Negative attention will bring more people to pay attention to what he has to say…
Unfortunately that ship has already sailed, America and Israel are tied at the hip.
That’s exactly what it is, contempt for Americans. I wonder how much debate is being had about the fact that they even have to explain to us to begin with. I’m sure they have a plan in play to eliminate that nuance eventually as well.
The fact that the word “occupation” is up for debate sends chills down my spine, this one was a given before Hillary. The nefarious intent behind that to me is obvious, wiping the slate clean of any ties to Israel for Palestinians, and guaranteed the next thing up for grabs will be the word Palestinian and whether one ever existed. With Hillary approaching the Oval Office, the emboldening right wing of Israel can come out full force now, here in America, because our leaders no longer represent our interests.
It concerns me that we are not talking about that in big headlines here, the fact that such an aggressive move has been made to take “Occupation” out of the conversation all of a sudden.
They are taking things to the next level on all fronts, no longer mention the words occupations and settlements means that’s it on to full legitimization. I’m wondering why the following is not worthy of attention on Mondoweiss?
There you have it, clear as day.
“In her presentation, Goldstein acknowledged that efforts to promote Israel as a democracy with “great beaches” had failed to stem the support for Palestinian rights, so “we have to focus on the offense, on Islamists and how they violate the basic civil rights that liberals hold very, very dear.”
Efforts to exploit and promote Islamophobiaas a way to build support for Israel are not new, but the New York meeting heralded a renewed push in that direction.
Following the advice of pro-Israel pollster Frank Luntz to appropriate leftist and human rights language, Goldstein said the anti-Muslim message would appeal to the sensibilities of liberal and progressive college students.
She argued that pro-Israel advocates had to speak about the BDS movement “in the terminology that Millennials will understand, which is the civil rights terminology.”
“[Students] want to be against apartheid? Let’s give them what to be against,” she said, “Let’s give them [sic] to be against Islamist gender, race and religious apartheid that is occurring in every single Muslim-majority country on the planet.”
As its contribution, Goldstein explained that her organization would be launching what she called “Islamist Apartheid Week” on campuses across the US, an apparent effort to counter Israeli Apartheid Week.
And while Goldstein markets herself as a “human rights attorney,” she proudly touts her friendship with Geert Wilders, the anti-Muslim Dutch politician who has been fundedby a key player in the US Islamophobia industry.
Wilders’ anti-Muslim agenda is so extreme it has even been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League, a major pro-Israel group.”
“We need to raise the stakes for those who engage in this sort of behavior, let them know their nose is going to bleed,” Abrams said in reference to fellow students who had advocated for a boycott of Israeli institutions complicit in military occupation and violations of Palestinian rights.
While speakers asserted several times that advocates should share positive messages about Israel and Zionism, Goldstein was frank that only repression of protest and BDS would shore up Israel’s eroding base of support.
“The goal is to make the enemy pay,” Goldstein said, “and to send a message, a deterrent message, that similar actions such as those that they engage in will result in massive punishments.”

Absolutely stunning, Nazi tactics.
According to the Forward,
“A new website is publicizing the identities of pro-Palestinian student activists to prevent them from getting jobs after they graduate from college. But the website is keeping its own backers’ identity a secret.
“It is your duty to ensure that today’s radicals are not tomorrow’s employees,” a female narrator intones in a slick video posted to the website’s YouTube account.”
