ISRAEL

Nobody does that better than John Hagee, Pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas.  Last Sunday, Hagee addressed the second annual ‘Christian’s United For Israel’ event that drew fellow psychopaths from all 50 states and 50 nations around the globe.  Hagee spewed the same lies and hateful rhetoric that he’s been propagating for decades. 

“Israel is an outpost of freedom and democracy in one of the most undemocratic regions in the world,” Hagee said after the event. “ Now is the time for Israel’s supporters, regardless of faith or political ideology, to unite in standing with Israel as she confronts such serious threats from Hezbollah, Hamas and Iran.” 

The USS Liberty (AGTR-5) has been called the most decorated United States Naval ship for a single action. 

But if this is true, why have so few Americans ever heard of the Liberty? 

The reasons are many, but have everything to do with who attacked the Liberty and who covered up the attack, an ongoing and disgraceful coverup for nearly 50 years. 

Though attempts have been, and continue to be made, to bring the truth about the attack on the Liberty to a wider audience, those responsible for the attack and the coverup have many resources available to keep this national tragedy buried. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

"Only a dirty, filthy, Jew-hating anti-Semite who wants Hitler to come back and gas Jewish babies in the ovens would suggest Israel attacked the USS Liberty!  The USS Liberty was eaten by GODZILLA!  And you are a dirty, filthy, Jew-hating anti-Semite who wants Hitler to come back and gas Jewish babies in the ovens if you don't believe me!" --  Nodding Yahoo

We all hope that we will break the blockade and celebrate on the shores of Gaza, but in reality, we know that our ships will probably be intercepted by Israeli forces and we will be illegally detained. 
Note: The brave Israeli forces, supported by donations from America will probably beat the woman up. 

Rice also did not mention another important issue.  As money is fungible subsidizing Israel's military frees up cash in the budget to build new settlements on the West Bank, which U.S. policy nominally opposes.  Some critics have also noted that medical care and higher education in Israel are free, a benefit that Americans do not enjoy and which derives in part from the U.S. largesse. 

...on a key issue, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Trump has made a 180-degree shift in his position.  And, for a candidate who proudly boasts about self-funding and not being in the pocket of billionaires and special interests, his shift has coincided with a $25 million infusion of Super PAC funds from casino billionaire, and pro-Israel mega donor, Sheldon Adelson. 

The Israeli navy has been preparing to attack the Women’s Boats heading to break the ten-year-old siege on the Gaza Strip, Quds Press reported yesterday.  The boats, which are part of the Freedom Flotilla Alliance, are expected to arrive in Gaza within three days if they are not impeded in any way. 

According to a report on Israel’s Channel 2 TV, naval gunships have been waiting in the port of Ashdod ready to move and intercept the Zaytouna and Amal, the two boats making the bid.  The TV report claimed that the activists on board the boats have been trained in order to know what to do if they are confronted by the Israeli navy. 

Meanwhile, Channel 7 TV said that a group of right-wing Jewish settlers are planning their own flotilla off the coast of Gaza to intercept the Zaytouna and Amal, and oblige them to go to Syria.  Refugees there, they argue, are in more need of their support than the Palestinians in Gaza. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

Some of these women will wind up badly beaten at the hands of the Israeli Navy; others will die, probably very horribly. 

While I honor their courage, knowing what they will be up against, I somehow think that their energy could have been better used toward sanctioning trade and investment in Israel; that is something the Israeli government cannot overcome, when successfully used against the country. 

When Israel bombards Gaza after some ineffectual rocket attacks, the U.S. sees a right of self-defense, but different standards apply to Syria when foreign-backed terrorists fire deadly rockets and mortars, notes Rick Sterling. 

In the spirit of traditional naming custom I have taken an aspect of my life as a blogger and adopted my new Native American name, "Types With Tired Fingers."  Because I am now religiously connected with the original people of the North American continent, who have been there for thousands of years, I hereby call on the United States Government to withdraw and return this land to its rightful traditional owners, myself included.  After all, "We" were here first! 

Ron Kukal, former US Navy Petty Officer and USS Liberty survivor, is of the opinion that the truth about the tragic attack on the American ship by the Israeli military in 1967 will never emerge as the US Congress has been always under the influence of Tel Aviv.

So, given the good treatment and relative success of European Jewry, it is nothing less than astonishing, jaw-dropping even, to discover a May 31, 1936 issue of The New York Times carrying the bold claim of a “European Holocaust” affecting “millions of Jews”.  How can this be?  As even the High Priests of Holohoaxianty will admit, the wartime internment of Jews didn’t begin until the latter half of 1941.  The alleged mass executions are said to have started in 1943, ramping up to full-scale genocide by 1944.  Oops.  It looks like some over-eager Zionist went off the script and let the fake cat out of the bag a full 6-7 years too soon! 

This all comes from JEWISH sources, so groups such as ADL et al whose job is to consign every indictment of criminal Jewish behavior into the never-never land of ‘baseless anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and canards’ cannot be applied here.  This did not come from the Protocols, from any AY-rab government or from Mel Gibson.  It came right out of the mouths of those who were directly involved in it at the time, and they were all Jews, acting in accordance with what their religion teaches concerning revenge against Gentiles, i.e. ‘an eye for an eye’ as well as the mass murder of innocent men, women, and children as outlined in various passages of the Old Testament. 

The Israeli naval forces have received orders to intercept al-Zaytouna ship and arrest activists as soon as they reach Gaza shores. 

The boat is reportedly to be towed to the Ashdod Harbor wile female activists will be deported to their mother countries after they sign pledges to never return. 

Zaytouna ship is expected to reach Gaza shores in the next three days following a stopover in the Greek Island of Crete to fix a sudden breakdown. 

Amal and Zaytouna, a flotilla of two boats with all-women crews and passengers, set sail from Barcelona en route to besieged Gaza in another maritime attempt to break Israel’s illegitimate blockade on the Palestinian coastal enclave. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

I don't know what the tactical plan is to actually get these women, or at least some of them, and supplies, into Gaza. 

If captured, they will most probably be met with very rough physical treatment by the Israeli Navy, and some may be killed, as a lesson for future potential flotillas from around the world trying to break the siege of Gaza; that is just how the Israeli military mindset works. 

Prayers for their collective physical safety, and that they will be documenting, and sending back images of how they are treated.  If they have the technical capability, there is a computer chip which enables you to send camera images back to your computer, in blazingly fast time. 

According to the report, Hermes 450 was downed over the country’s airspace in summer 2014.  But it’s yet to be revealed how the American UAVs got in the hands of the Iranian armed forces.  The news came amid reports that Iran’s Sukhoi Su-25 fired a warning shot at an unidentified UAV flying over the Persian Gulf.  The drone allegedly retreated and fled the Iranian airspace after the encounter. 

Israel has locked the West Bank and Gaza Strip borders citing safety concerns ahead of the Jewish new year.  Meanwhile amid preparations for celebrations Israel approved plans for the construction of yet another 98 homes for settlers in the occupied West Bank. 

The border closure took effect on Sunday at 12:01am.  Only in the cases of medical and “humanitarian” emergencies will people be allowed to cross the borders, with the prior approval of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. 

The state Supreme Court decision to acquit extreme right-wing politician Hans Püschel by annulling the fine levied by a lower court is viewed by some as an unprecedented challenge to German law, which requires punishment for trivialization of the Holocaust and glorification of Nazi crimes.  The decision was announced locally in October 2015, but became public on Wednesday after inquiries by the German daily newspaper Die Welt. 

Historians have expressed astonishment at the ruling, and observers expect courts to run into trouble when trying to prosecute future cases. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

Truth needs no law to support it.  Truth is self-evident to all.  Truth withstands re-examination.  Truth survives questions.  Throughout history, from Galileo to Zundel, only lies and liars have resorted to the courts to enforce adherence to dogma. 

“About one third of the American population lives under virtual police occupation and regards the police as a dangerous, hostile army.  This situation has gotten worse as more and more American police are trained in Israel, where they are taught to treat minorities the way the Israelis treat Palestinians,” Kevin Barret told the Tasnim news agency. 

The term UN Resolutions 242 and 338 refers to two resolutions approved by the UN Security Council.  Resolution 242 was approved after the 1967 war (11/67) while Resolution 338 was approved during the 1973 war (10/73). 
Article 11 of UN General Assembly Resolution 194 states: "the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible"
Note: Still waiting, still paying, still torturing, still demolishing! 

In a wide-ranging interview, former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy paints a worrying picture of the leadership abilities of PM Netanyahu and his suspicious relationship with Putin, as well as of the future of the Jewish state

The joke goes that President Barack Obama is this country’s first Jewish president, but Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton seems to hope to claim that crown for herself. 

In a brief phone call she placed Thursday to 1,000 or so Jewish machers, she wished everyone a “shana tova” and spoke personally about her friend, the late President Shimon Peres. 

“When he spoke, to me it was like listening to a psalm, and I loved sitting and listening to him whether it was about Israel, the nation he loved and did so much to defend, or about peace or just about life itself,” recalled Clinton, adding that her husband Bill Clinton is in Israel to attend the funeral and represent them both. 

Clinton called in from Florida, where Jews are among those registering people, manning phone banks and canvassing door-to-door to help get out the vote.  The head of Jewish outreach for the Clinton campaign, Sarah Branch, urged the Jewish community to keep up that work. 

I saw the results: babies torn apart, shrieking refugees, smouldering bodies.  It was a place called Qana and most of the 106 bodies – half of them children – now lie beneath the UN camp where they were torn to pieces by Israeli shells in 1996.  I had been on a UN aid convoy just outside the south Lebanese village.  Those shells swished right over our heads and into the refugees packed below us.  It lasted for 17 minutes. 

The intense summer heat was gone and the evening was breezy and cool that fateful Thursday evening, September 15, 1982, according to survivors of the Sabra-Shatila Massacre who, 34 years later, still remember and recount many details of the slaughter that was soon to follow. 

Shimon Peres, Israel’s former head of state and putative peacemaker, has died at age 93. 

Peres has long been showered with adulation as a “man of peace.”  ABC, Deutsche Welle, Ynet and more used this moniker in the headlines of their reports on his passing.  Fox News called him a “peace pioneer.”  The Washington Post dubbed him “the Israeli patriot who believed in peace.” 

What few media reports have acknowledged is that there was considerable blood on the hands of this man of peace — Palestinian and Lebanese blood, to be more precise. 

Last week, Britain’s veteran chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks lectured to the European Parliament on antisemitism.  The rabbi’s mission was to define antisemitism, but instead he just demonstrated some of the most problematic symptoms of Jewish supremacy, tribal arrogance and even crude Goy-hatred.  Unwittingly, the rabbi didn’t make the Jews look too good. 

Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and the author of the "Wolfowitz Doctrine" which was the basis of the neoconservative manifesto The Project for the New American Century, giving the commencement speech at West Point Academy, June 02, 2001, three months prior to the attacks of 9/11.  He speaks about the 1941 Pearl Harbor surprise attack on America and cautions his audience to expect the unexpected. 

The neoconservative's 21st century plan for America and the world, called the "Project for the New American Century," stated that the plan would be a long and drawn-out process unless America experienced a "New Pearl Harbor" attack. 

The Israeli spy agency has called Sheikh Assim Qassim, the Mufti of Fatah al-Sham (Nusra) Front in Jabat al-Khashab region and Taranja in the Northern parts of Quneitra, to order him a reshuffling of commanders in the region, Arab media sources said Wendesday. 

And finally, here is some common sense that totally undermines the attempt to frame Saudi Arabia for 9-11.  If Saudi Arabia really wanted to hurt the United States, they don't need to fly airplanes into skyscrapers to do it.  All they have to do is ask for their money back, all at once.  The resulting damage to the US financial system would make 9-11 look like a minor inconvenience in comparison. 

And it would be perfectly legal for Saudi Arabia to ask for their money back. 

Which is why we know that the claim that Saudi Arabia was behind 9-11 has no more basis in fact than the claim that Saddam had nuclear weapons or that Assad gassed his own people right in front of the UN chemical weapons inspectors. 

The United States and Israel are trying to divert the world’s attention to Saudi Arabia as the perpetrator of the September 11, 2001 attacks, in an attempt to hide their own role as the main plotters of the deadly event that changed the world, says a political analyst in Chicago. 

Wiesel and Peres dedicated their lives to a project that deflects Jewish culpability in the oppression of the Palestinian people.  Though world leaders will gather for Peres’s funeral in the coming days, Jews need to mourn aspects of the violence Wiesel and Peres enabled.  The idea of Jews simply finishing the job that Wiesel and Peres began, viewing their legacy as simply unfinished, won’t do either. 

Israel has embarked wholesale on the displacement and ghettoization of the Palestinian people.  The trajectory Wiesel’s and Peres’s life is a dead-end for Palestinians and Jewish history, if one believes that without an ethical center, Jewish life is truncated, if not voided altogether. 

A senior commander of the Golan Regiment in the Syrian army disclosed that Israel has activated an operations room in the Southwestern province of Quneitra near its border with Syria to aid the Fatah al-Sham (Nusra) Front terrorists. " The recent terrorist attacks in Quneitra, codenamed by the terrorists as 'the Southern Qadesiya Operations', clearly showed the Zionist regime's support for the terrorist groups in Southern Syria," Arwa Satter told FNA on Wednesday.  He referred to Israel's activation of an operations room in Syria's Jabat al-Khashab region of Quneitra, and said in their recent offensive, 600 terrorists, who had been called from Dara'a, took order from the Zionists' operations room and sought to take control of al-Rabe'a or Sha'ban bases in Northern Quneitra but they failed given the army and the resistance forces' timely reaction. 

Israeli media disclosed that Tel Aviv has deployed a number of drones in the Golan Heights to detect the Syrian Army's movements in the region.  Israeli media said these reconnaissance drones will play a crucial role in monitoring military developments in Southern Syria, particularly in the Golan Heights. " These drones are equipped with advanced cameras able to take images from very far distances.  The drones also can identify people in their cars," the media sources claimed.  Terrorist groups fighting against Syrian government and army have been provided with Israeli intelligence and air support frequently.  The Israeli military aircraft have violated Syrian territories to back the terrorist groups' offensives on government forces' positions near the Golan Heights in Quneitra.  In a last case, the Syrian army shot down a drone, a fighter jet and a hellicopter of the Israeli regime earlier this month. 

Shimon Peres, the most notorious living perpetrator of genocide in occupied Palestine, has died after two weeks of illness following a stroke.  Peres was born in modern day Belarus in 1923, and his family moved to Palestine in the 1930s.  As a young man, Peres joined the Haganah, the militia primarily responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages in 1947-49, during the Nakba, but several decades later he won a Nobel Peace Prize together with former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin probably because he had succeded in killing enough Palestinians...

Jonathan Cook reminds us of the Shimon Peres that you are unlikely to hear about in Western obituaries: a colonialist and champion of the Jewish settlers, an “Inveterate schemer”, a war criminal and the father of Israel’s nuclear weapons programme. 

The second chapter of my book Solving 9-11, entitled “AMERICA THE TARGET: 9-11 and Israel’s Use of Terrorism to Coerce the West,” is now available.  As the title indicates, this comprehensive research article of about 9,400 words examines some of the largest Israeli terror attacks against the United States – prior to 9-11. 

People laboring under the Hollywood view of Israel and the Middle East will already be shaking their heads in confusion. “ Israeli terror attacks against the United States?”  they read a second time with a puzzled look on their faces. 

Shimon Peres – a terrorist?  Come on, Peres won the Nobel Peace Prize, they might think.  What is this guy going on about? 

Truth must be said, I do admire fierce President Ahmadinejad almost as much as I despise war criminal Shimon Peres. 

However reading the rant Peres gave Wednesday during the UN’s General Assembly is a rather amusing experience.  The man who has more blood on his hands than any living Israeli politician was rather daring. 

“The Iranian people are not our enemies,” declares Peres.  This is a pretty interesting statement, bearing in mind that Israeli Minister Mofaz threatens to nuke Iran on a daily basis. “ Their leader (Ahmadinejad) is a danger to his people, the region and the world.”  Again, a very bold statement considering the established statistical fact that the vast majority of Europeans actually see Israel and the USA as the leading threat to world peace. 

Shimon Peres, the last of Israel’s founding fathers, died on Wednesday at the age of 93 after his condition swiftly deteriorated following a major stroke two weeks ago.  World leaders have lavished praise on Peres, including former American President Bill Clinton, who described him as a “dove of peace” for his role in the 1993 Oslo accords – the first agreements between Israeli and Palestinian leaders which led to him jointly winning a Nobel Peace Prize a year later.  Born Szymon Perski in 1923, Peres moved with his family from his birthland of Poland to what was then British mandate Palestine in 1934, aged 11 years old.  After being brought up in a kibbutz Peres met fellow Pole and subsequent close political ally David Ben-Gurion, who would go on to become Israel’s first prime minister. 

Shimon Peres marked his greatest achievement in a long, and impressive life, full of ups and downs, at the age of 33.  If he was a copywriter, he could have summed it up proudly in one spot-on sentence, paraphrased from Herzl: In Sèvres, I established Dimona and ensured the future of the State of Israel. 

Dimona, beginning in the late 1950s and into the 1960s, saw the building of the "textile factory" - the nuclear reactor in which, according to foreign reports, Israel produces fissile materials - uranium and plutonium - for its arsenal of nuclear weapons.  According to these reports, these weapons were, and remain, the central factor deterring Arab states and Iran from fulfilling their fantasies of eliminating Israel on the battlefield. 
Note: He brought nuclear weapons to the middle east and of course lied about it. 

The Palestinians will remember Shimon Peres, a former Israeli president, prime minister and Nobel Peace Prize laureate as a serial killer and an iconic mass murderer. 
"Peres's legacy will be remembered by the Palestinians as a tireless advocate for murdering children, perpetuating occupation and uprooting indigenous Palestinians out of their home lands," said Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organisation. 

Peres’s outstanding vision integrated a broad outlook on peace.  He never wearied of advocating for the societal, civilian and national benefits of peace and the necessity of attracting youth to it.  Understanding the intertwined nature of peace and security, and intent on securing Israel as a Jewish democracy, he strived for the two-state-for-two-peoples solution to the last day of his life.  This is his testament. 
Note: His concept of peace was a piece of Lebanon, a piece of Syria, a piece of Jordan. 

It is no exaggeration to say that the U.S. government rewards Netanyahu for his regime’s bad behavior.  For example, as Zaid Jilali reports at The Intercept, “Shortly before Netanyahu took office, 474,000 Israeli settlers were living in these territories.  By the end of 2014, the last time the Israeli government released comprehensive statistics on the matter, that number had grown to around 570,000.”  Yet U.S. military aid to Israel not only continues; it increases. 
Note: Torture, home demolition, killing, is nothing more than "bad behavior." 

The Zaytouna is part of a now one-vessel Women’s Boat to Gaza flotilla after its sister ship Amal was forced to return to Barcelona because of engine trouble.  It was not the only boat in the harbor of Ajaccio, but certainly the Zaytouna’s purpose — international solidarity, not leisure — was unique. 

The truth is that far from being the poor victim it likes to portray itself as, Israel is in fact the most aggressive and belligerent nation in the region, having invaded pretty much everyone it shares a border with. 

“Palestinian citizens of Israel are its Achilles’ heel; they refuse to become Zionists, refuse to leave Israel, and refuse to vanish into thin air.  And, increasingly, they are refusing to remain silent.” 

Stephen Zunes, a California-based international relations scholar, states that London and Washington demonstrate a double standard approach to war crimes. 

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen since 2015.  The war has already left 10,000 people dead and over a million malnourished children, according to the UN.  The UK is one of the major weapon providers for the Saudis.  It approved over £3 billion in arms sales to reinstate former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a Saudi ally. 

Republican nominee Donald Trump pledged to recognize Jerusalem as the “undivided capital” of Israel if elected president as he met with Benjamin Netanyahu in New York, while Hillary Clinton told the Israeli PM she would oppose BDS and UN meddling. 

A deal between the operators of the Leviathan oil and gas field off the Israeli coast and Jordan Electric Power Company has just turned Israel into Jordan’s biggest gas supplier.  The 15-year, US$10-billion contract was signed with a consortium, which includes local industrial major Delek Group and U.S. Noble Energy.  Jordan will receive 45 billion cubic meters of gas under the deal. 

The former secretary of state gave her backing to the recently signed $38b.  military aid package, and pledged to take the bilateral relationship “to the next level,” as her Republican rival Donald Trump also did earlier in the day during his sit-down with the prime minister. 

Their conversation focused on the nuclear deal with Iran, which Netanyahu opposes and Clinton has endorsed, the campaign said. 

Hillary Clinton said she opposed any U.N. Security Council bid to impose a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just hours after a summit between the Israeli leader and Donald Trump. 
Note: Clinton and Trump both disgraceful to our constitution and history. 

Jewish campaigners have reacted with fury to the re-election of Jeremy Corbyn, warning that with the left-winger in charge, the Labour Party is “no longer a safe place for British Jews”.  Maybe, but also maybe it is time to accept that Jews don’t feel safe anywhere - not in France, not in Belgium, not in Monroe, NY, not even in Israel despite the IDF being one of the strongest armies in the world.  But beware.  If Jews do not feel safe anywhere, then makingthe Labour party into a Jewish safe haven may well be considered an anti-Jewish act. 

College campuses traditionally have been the sites of social and political protest — the combination of youth, intellectual energy, free speech, and academic freedom is a powerful catalyst for vibrant and often heated debate.  Given the strain this can sometimes place on the equilibrium of universities, it is not surprising to see limits placed on speech and action.  What is unusual is for pressure to come from groups outside the university.  That’s precisely what is happening today when it comes to the topic of Israel and Palestine, and the overreach of some pro-Israel organizations into campus free speech is such that even those who oppose an academic boycott of Israel have condemned their actions. 

“The Israeli soldiers spoke to me, but I couldn't understand them, so some Arab workers explained.  They asked me to take my bag off my back and put it down.  I removed my bag.  I said I wanted to see where my aunt died.  They asked for my aunt's name and I answered...then they opened fire on me.  The two soldiers said, 'This one is a terrorist,' and ordered the others to open fire,” she said. 

Netanyahu on Saturday night told Israel’s Channel 2 that he did not regret calling the family of Elor Azaria, who shot a downed Palestinian terrorist in Hebron saying he believed that he was still a threat and who is now on trial for the Palestinian’s murder. 
Note: The Palestinian was laying motionless and bleeding.  A threat! 

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were meeting separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday, giving each candidate fresh foreign policy talking points on the eve of their first presidential debate. 
Note: The United States belongs to Israel. 

A senior Israeli military official on Sunday said a massive underground barrier being built along the Gaza border to defend against Hamas tunnels should be finished in a matter of months, dealing what he said would be a serious blow to the Islamic militant group. 
Note: Walls above and below, arrests, torture, home demolitions, curfews...Israel your tax dollars at work. 

Trump also “acknowledged that Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of the Jewish People for over 3000 years, and that the United States, under a Trump administration, will finally accept the long-standing Congressional mandate to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel,” his campaign said. 
Note: Any doubts removed Israel controls both parties, congress, the president. 

Lest we forget.  And Thanks to Alternative media and Vladimir Putin most of the world now knows who is behind the medieval Jihadis. 

The Little-Known Secret to Destroying ISIS Propaganda

ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorist attacks on Westerners is evil. 

And as a white American from a Judeo-Christian background, I am repulsed by the fact that ISIS is targeting Christians in Syria and Iraq with brutal murder … including crucifixion. [ And these crimes are invariably not reported by the Western media.] 

But most victims of ISIS, Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorism are themselves Muslim. 

’ruah’s new campaign asks the Jewish National Fund to be fully transparent about where American Jewish donations are being spent, and to stop using these donations on projects in the settlements. 

“People who are putting their dollar bills in a JNF (box), or writing a check to buy a tree, might want to know that instead of buying a tree in Israel … that their money might be going to developments in the settlements which block peace,” said Rabbi Jill Jacobs, T’ruah’s executive director. 

Facebook says it made a mistake in disabling the accounts of journalists who administer the pages of two of the most widely read Palestinian publications on the Internet. 

“The pages were removed in error and restored as soon as we were able to investigate,” a Facebook spokesperson has told The Electronic Intifada. “ Our team processes millions of reports each week, and we sometimes get things wrong.  We’re very sorry about this mistake.” 

Webmaster's Commentary:

And when was the last time Facebook "accidentally" deleted the accounts of Israel journalists? 

I urge you to veto AB 2844, an unconstitutional and costly attack on Californians’ free speech and the movement for Palestinian human rights. 

AB 2844 chills free speech by falsely associating legal and time-honored boycotts for human rights with unlawful discrimination, and by creating a vague new crime in the process.  The bill could cost California taxpayers over $140 million (Department of Finance estimate) and unknown additional sums for fielding complaints and lawsuits. 

Although the title and some of the content of AB 2844 have changed over time, its intent remains the same: to stigmatize and suppress protected political speech, especially advocacy for Palestinian human rights through the nonviolent tactics of boycott, divestment and sanctions. 

“I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government,” Jewish columnist Joel Stein wrote in the Los Angeles Times in December 2008. “ I just care that we get to keep running them.” 

Mr Stein’s reckless candor in admitting that the Jews ran America was to cost him his job at the LA Times. 

If Americans have lost their country to organized Jewry, they lost it slowly and imperceptibly.  Indeed, most Americans remain unaware that their country no longer belongs to them.  They fervently believe they still live in a democracy.  This was a takeover not without precedent, however.  It had happened to Germany.  It had happened to Russia.  It has now happened to America. 

Yesterday, coincidentally, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli columnist Gideon Levy both spoke of the burden of the Nakba on their societies, and the world.  Excerpts below.  The only reflection on reading these commentaries is, Why are these thoughts not being published in our mainstream American journals? 

Webmaster's Commentary:

The stories about 6 million Jews from WW1 and WW2 are to be accepted as unquestionable fact despite scarce and often fraudulent evidence, but the well-documented Nakba is banned from any mention in the corporate media. 

Iran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency said Israel’s nuclear weapons program is a real threat to international peace and security. 

Reza Najafi made the statement in an address to an IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna on Wednesday in reference to a recent revelation by former US secretary of state, Colin Powell, that Israel has 200 nuclear warheads, Press TV reported. 

Clinton will meet with the prime minister of Israel, which has been called an “apartheid state” by Black Lives Matter activists. 

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has postponed a trip planned for Sunday to the city of Charlotte, site of intense anti police brutality protests, and will instead meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

Hillary knows what really matters! 

UPDATE: Hillary's campaign is claiming that the Mayor of Charlotte asked Hillary to cancel, which strains credulity given that Obama is paying a visit and Trump is seriously considering going as well. 

It is no exaggeration to say that the US government rewards Netanyahu for his regime’s bad behavior.  For example, as Zaid Jilali reports at The Intercept, “Shortly before Netanyahu took office, 474,000 Israeli settlers were living in these territories.  By the end of 2014, the last time the Israeli government released comprehensive statistics on the matter, that number had grown to around 570,000.”  Yet US military aid to Israel not only continues; it increases. 

Israel’s rulers have no intention of recognizing the rights of Palestinians to their lives, liberty, and property.  Past efforts that appeared conciliatory, such a Yitzhak Rabin’s Oslo Accords, were actually aimed at thwarting proposals to have the Palestinians in the occupied territories become citizens of the self-declared state of the Jewish People (the one-state solution).  The other alternative to the two states, formal apartheid, is deemed as politically inexpedient. 

The diplomatic mission is expected to enhance Israel's contribution to the organization, the statement said. 

Leshno-Yaar stated “the opening of a permanent office reflects Israel's role in promoting peace and stability in the region." 

Webmaster's Commentary:

"...promoting peace and stability in the region, MY ASTROLABE!! 

This wretchedly apartheid, self-proclaimed theocracy with nuclear weapons, cannot seem to get along with ANY of its neighbors in the Middle East, and now wants to engage with NATO by way of a diplomatic mission?!? 

I would strongly encourage NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg to be very careful on this; any kind of real NATO status for Israel will translate into fighting its wars for it against every neighbor country it doesn't like; and that pretty much includes all of them!! 

Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania is the latest to take heat from the Israel Lobby, mainly because he once attended a meeting with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), and also refused to sign a letter written by AIPAC.  So they created a TV ad that tries to tie him to terrorism.  Never mind the fact that Sestak acted on his conscience in both instances—anybody who flaunts the dictates of the Israel Lobby has to be punished. 

The people who are promoting this latest experiment in intimidation are pretty open about what they’re doing, and why. “ We’re the pro-Israel wing of the pro-Israel community,” exults neo-con godfather William Kristol.  So here’s the crazy part—we’re not supposed to acknowledge that there’s an Israel Lobby, even though its main players talk openly about their activities!  No, as Abraham Foxman pointed out in his book “The Deadliest Lies,” the existence of an Israel Lobby is a scurrilous falsehood made up by anti-Semites. 

On the International Day of Peace, Bolivian President Evo Morales condemned the imperialist and warmongering policies of Israel and the United States during his address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York Wednesday. 

Whenever a US president prepares to leave office, diplomats and Middle East specialists in think tanks urge him to make a final push for an Israeli-Palestinian “peace” deal. 

I predicted more than once that Obama would be a disastrous president for the Palestinians and that the hopes so many invested in him were delusional.  Sadly, I was right and the think tankers were wrong. 

Avi Mayer, spokesman for the Jewish Agency for Israel and a prolific tweeter, called the ad “awesomewashing.”  He was playing on the term “pinkwashing,” an accusation often levied against Israel that the government uses its record on gay rights to hide its crimes against Palestinians. 

The new Hollywood film “Denial” starring Rachel Weisz as Deborah Lipstadt is due to be released.  Part 1 presents a brief introduction to Holocaust Revisionism, shows the trailer for the film “Denial” which will be analyzed closer in later parts, and includes an analysis of the casting and pre-production casting changes to the movie “Denial.”  The filmmakers make Irving look like a monster and Lipstadt like an angel.  Deborah Lipstadt demonizes Revisionists yet parroted bogus Soviet propaganda claim of 4 million Auschwitz dead

I don't plan to waste my time seeing this, and I expect this will be a box-office dud despite the inevitable accolades from the Israel-loving corporate media! 

Israeli soldiers have been photographed brutally detaining a Palestinian man in Hebron on Tuesday.  One of the five troops in the vicinity could be seen kicking the man, while another soldier pinned the Palestinian to the floor with his knee. 

The incident took place near a Jewish neighborhood in Hebron, with the Israeli soldiers saying that the man was resisting arrest. 

Apart from documents that have outlined supposed terrorist threats, like Al-Qaeda, and their connection to US intelligence agencies, like the CIA, there are a number of whistleblowers that have come out adding more fuel to the fire. 

The latest whistleblower is David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps intelligence officer, and the second-highest-ranking civilian in the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence.  He is a former CIA clandestine services case officer, and this is what he had to say.........

Amal and Zaytouna, a flotilla of two boats with all-women crews and passengers, set sail from Barcelona en route to besieged Gaza in another maritime attempt to break Israel's illegal blockade on the tiny strip of Palestinian coastal territory. 
This is a place where 1.7 million Palestinians have been locked for nearly a decade in what many describe as the "world's largest open air prison", a human laboratory that Israel uses periodically to test its weapons. 

In August 2015 the class of 2014 only had three abstentions out of 53 new congressmen when it traveled to Israel along partisan lines with a Democratic group followed shortly thereafter by a GOP contingent. 
These orientation trips are in addition to the frequent taxpayer funded visits made by congressmen to update themselves on Israel’s expanding list of “needs.” 
Note: Had enough yet!  It ends when you say it ends. 

The clearest message from Israel’s new aid package is one delivered to the Palestinians: Washington sees no pressing strategic interest in ending the occupation.  It stood up to Netanyahu over the Iran deal but will not risk a damaging clash with Israel and its loyalists in Congress over Palestinian statehood. 

This poem was written by a German friend, Christopher Ben Kushka, a courageous activist for human rights and Palestinian liberation .  It is not easy to speak out for Palestine in Germany.  He is a teacher who is having a very hard time , threatened by Benjamin Weinthal and the lunatics and ideologues trying to harm him.  He writes that 85% of Germans are indifferent or think it is a 50:50 conflict.  Like me, he has been dropped like a hot potato for his views considered extreme.  He is also shut down from taking part in public discourse. 

Entitled ‘You cannot pass today,’ the display was organized to coincide with the World Council of Churches’ World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel.  Rabbi Barry Marcus of the Central Synagogue told the Times of London that he was concerned that the exhibition would demonize Israel. “ Why the hell is a church wasting resources on fanning the flames of anti-Semitism?  They should be ashamed.” 

"The Russian warships fired three Caliber missiles at the foreign officers' coordination operations room in Dar Ezza region in the Western part of Aleppo near Sam'an mountain, killing 30 Israeli and western officers," the Arabic-language service of the Russian Sputnik news agency quoted battlefield source in Aleppo as saying on Wednesday. 

The operations room was located in the Western part of Aleppo province in the middle of sky-high Sam'an mountain and old caves.  The region is deep into a chain of mountains. 

Several US, Turkish, Saudi, Qatari and British officers were also killed along with the Israeli officers.  The foreign officers who were killed in the Aleppo operations room were directing the terrorists' attacks in Aleppo and Idlib. 

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum urged world leaders to press Iran’s leadership on its Holocaust denial during the U.N. General Assembly. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

This from people who deny the 1948 Palestinians Nakba and that Palestinians ever existed historically as people, and there never ever a Palestine.  Oh yes, Israel does not have nuclear weapons, and anyone who says otherwise is a filthy Jew-hating anti-Semite who wants Hitler to come back and gas Jewish babies in the ovens! 

Just days after the historic US aid deal was signed in the State Department, four senators seek the betterment of conditions stipulated in the pact, providing Israel with an extra $1.5bn in military aid; senator: 'Now is not the time to say that we're going to nickel and dime Israel.' 

Webmaster's Commentary:

$38 billion is hardly "nickle and dime" cash!  And in a silly way using the Constitution claiming that power of spending is in Congress hands according to US Constitution....that's true... but not in the hands of thugs who want to work for a foreign country and spend US taxpayers to please a foreign leader and a foreign state...that was not the Founders had in mind when they wrote the Constitution.  That is what Washington meant with his farewell address warning about foreign entanglements. 

It was snowing on Feb. 24, 1944, when Jewish children in the French town of Gemeaux were rounded up at their school.  Two sisters, Denise and Micheline Lévy, aged 10 and 9, clutched dolls—one pink, one blue—as they were led away to Auschwitz. 

A gendarme grabbed the dolls and flung them to the ground, Le Parisien reports, via the Telegraph.  A shopkeeper picked them up and gave them to the grandmother of Frédérique Gilles, a 38-year-old schoolteacher, who has now donated them to the Shoah Memorial, the Holocaust museum in Paris. 
Note: Often when these fairy tale no evidence stories of the holocau$t start to appear it is a sign Israel is going to start another war. 

Since the end of the 2014 Gaza war, top Israeli generals and politicians have stressed the need to boost Gaza’s economy and loosen the nine-year blockade on the strip.  This summer, though, Israel quietly started doing the opposite — and many of the aid workers who help keep Gaza afloat fear another war is looming. 

Last week’s announcement of a record-breaking US aid package for Israel underscores how dangerously foolish and out-of-touch is our interventionist foreign policy.  Over the next ten years, the US taxpayer will be forced to give Israel some $38 billion dollars in military aid.  It is money we cannot afford going to a country that needs no assistance to maintain its status as the most powerful military in the Middle East. 

Jonathan Cook says the latest US military aid package to Israel – the largest in US history – is a clear signal to the Palestinians that Washington sees no pressing strategic interest in ending the Israeli occupation. 

Stuart Littlewood highlights the absence of the word “justice” when European and US politicians talk about peace in the Holy Land, and notes the other ruses used by Israel and its apologists to avoid justice for the Palestinians. 

Last week’s announcement of a record-breaking US aid package for Israel underscores how dangerously foolish and out-of-touch is our interventionist foreign policy.  Over the next ten years, the US taxpayer will be forced to give Israel some $38 billion dollars in military aid.  It is money we cannot afford going to a country that needs no assistance to maintain its status as the most powerful military in the Middle East. 

If multibillion-dollar weapons deals are any measure, Israel and the US have never been closer. 

This past week, despite a reported personal rift between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the US and Israel signed a pact that contains the largest pledge of military assistance to a single country in US history.  The ten-year agreement will provide $3.8 billion of aid yearly to Israel — up from the $3.1 billion awarded to Israel in the countries’ previous decade-long deal. 

In justifying the largesse, commentators and officials have pointed to the threat of a resurgent Iran and ISIS.  The deal, National Security Advisor Susan Rice said at a press conference, “will ensure that Israel has the support it needs to defend itself.” 

Yet the diplomatic platitudes are less illuminating than a statement Netanyahu made a year ago at the Knesset: “I am asked if we will forever live by the sword,” the prime minister said, then gave his answer: “Yes.” 

Webmaster's Commentary:

That the US government is supplying both money and weapons to a wretchedly apartheid, self-proclaimed theocracy with nuclear weapons, does not bode well for peace, either in the Middle East, or the world. 

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday evening that the United States was concerned that the increasing violence on the West Bank and construction in the settlements was threatening the two-state solution. 

The two met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly taking place this week, on the background of the stalemate in the peace process and assessments as to whether U.S. President Barack Obama will try to make a last stab at forcing the process along after the presidential election in November.  Obama will meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday but it isn’t clear whether he will also be meeting Abbas in New York. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

Translation: President Abbas, as you know, the US has just signed a 38 billion dollar aid deal with Israel, one of the largest aid packages in US history. 

The US government has done this, knowing it is completely illegal, under the Symington Amendment, which prevents the US government from providing any aid to any nuclear armed country which refuses to sign the NNPT (Israel won't) or refuses to allow inspections of their nuclear facilities (Israel won't). 

As you are also aware, Israel wants territory, and by any means necessary, including approving of Jewish/Settler-only housing in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, and ordering robust annexations of homes in which Palestinians had lived for generations. 

Kerry is making the appropriate noises in order to "look good" to the International community; but at the end of the day, the US government is not now, nor rarely has been, an honest broker for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. 

However, this is one guy who should be on your cell phone's speed dial right now, and that person is Vladimir Putin; if there is anyone right now who has a reputation for geopolitical integrity, it is Putin. 

I think your pleading the Palestinian case with him may have some positive outcomes; but it certainly has to be better than having to listen to Kerry drone on about "concerns", when the US government will do absolutely nothing to cause Israel to move toward contemplating a comprehensive peace proposal. 

UC Berkeley has reinstated a student-led class on the history of Palestine suspended on 13 September, following sustained outcry by students, members of faculty, lawyers and supporters of campus free speech and academic freedom. 

More than 40 off-campus Israel-aligned groups – along with the campus’ Hillel chapter – had pressured the university and its outgoing chancellor, Nicholas Dirks, to censor the class. 

The groups claimed it was a venue for “political indoctrination.” 

There are indications that an Israeli government official and the heads of Israeli universities also acted to pressure the Berkeley administration. 

In the defense of the Deir Ezzor Airport, the Syrian military has long depended on an army base in Jebel Tharda to repel ISIS advances.  That base has been lost this weekend, after a disastrous series of US-led airstrikes killed a large number of Syrian troops defending the base, and ISIS quickly overran what was left. 

For over 20 minutes, the coalition warplanes attacked the base.  According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the attack killed at least 83 Syrian troops and wounded 120 others.  The US Central Command claimed they thought the base belonged to ISIS. 

It does now.  With the forces decimated by the US attack, ISIS quickly overran the base.  Syrian state media claimed an ongoing effort to recover the site, but it does not appear to have been successful yet, as ISIS managed to shoot down a Syrian warplane, flying out of Deir Ezzor Airport, over Jebel Tharda. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

Looks as though this is just the outcome the US and Israel wanted to see happen here. 

Syria’s military on Monday declared the seven-day initial period for a ceasefire brokered by the United States and Russia over, without indicating whether the truce would reinstated. 

It said in a statement that “terrorist groups,” a term the Syrian government uses to refer to all insurgents fighting against it, had failed to commit to any of the provisions of the deal, and had used the ceasefire to rearm while violating it 300 times. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

This is precisely the response the US government was hoping for, after its bombing of Syrian troops at Deir Ezzor. 

Were I a betting woman, I would not bet against many more incursions into Syria, against both Syrian and Russian troops, by the US military. 

Earlier today the Syrian Arab Army had announced that 1,000 fresh soldiers arrived in Deir Ezzor to liberate it from ISIS. 

The U.S. planes came from Erbil in the Kurdish separatist region of Iraq. 

The Syrian troops were holding positions on Jabal Tharda, a mountain that overlooks Deir Ezzor's airport.  The mountain is now fully under Islamic State control.  With this IS has firecontrol over the airport and the Deir Ezzor garrison as well as more than 150,000 civilians living under government protection are thereby cut off from supplies and any further reinforcements.  Government forces have launched a counterattack to regain the vital position. 

Webmaster's Commentary:

So let me get my head around the reality that the US is working with Israeli in supporting Isis and Al Qaeda in Syria: any questions?!?!? 

And that performance by U.S. Ambassador Power at the UN on Saturday at the emergency meeting called by Russia over the incident was extraordinarily cringeworthy, to say the least, and engineered to try to get a rise out of the Russian Ambassador, Churkin; the only thing that happened was, at one point, he walked out of the room. 

And if Power was going to elaborate on atrocities, how about the atrocities committed by the US/Israeli enabled and funded Isis and Al Qaeda?!? 

On September 16, people gathered at the NYC office of G4S demanding G4S get out of Palestine and Standing Rock North Dakota USA-where recently G4S security guards released some dogs on the “PROTECTERS” of their Native historic lands against the attempt to lay an oil pipeline(the Dakota Access Pipeline) through their lands. 

At the end of the protest the protesters marched through the public access of the building loudly chanting “G4S out of Palestine and Standing Rock” much to the consternation of the building’s security guards. 

According to the ‘logic’ of the present day elders of zion I have always been a ‘self hating Jew’.  This was merely because I refuse to hate anyone else … does that make any sense to you? 

It seems that times have changed and new definitions have been added to the zio-dictionary … Now I am a terrorist.  The reason being that I am a part of and supporter of the BDS Movement.  Have you ever heard of a terrorist that refuses to kill?  Have you heard of one that refuses to support those who do??  Now you have! 

Kyle Hunt speaks with Frederick C. Blackburn of Blackbird9’s Breakfast Club about his experience training intelligence agents, what he learned about Israeli spying infrastructure and operations, his activities as a whistleblower, the Snowden revelations, internet censorship efforts, and current events related to the US presidential election and geopolitical turmoil in Syria. 

After Israel attacked the Assad regime’s military positions in response to projectiles fired from Syria that exploded inside Israel, Russia called on Israel to show restraint and has allegedly given Syria permission to shoot down Israeli planes that cross into its territory. 

NSO Group Technologies is an Israeli software company founded in 2010 by Niv Carmi, Omri Lavie, and Shalev Hulio It is reported to employ around 200 people and is based in Herzliya near Tel Aviv Annual revenues were said to be around $40 million in 2013 and $150 million in 2015.It is involved in hacking hi tech supposedly secure mobile phones of private citizens

In 2014, the American private equity firm Francisco Partners bought the company for $130 million It was reported in 2015 to be seeking to sell the company for up to $1 billion. 

Barak’s latest criticism of Israel’s current prime minister came during an interview for Army Radio on Thursday in which Barak quantified for the first time claims he made recently — including in an op-ed published Wednesday in The Washington Post — about the signing that day of a Memorandum of Understanding for $38 billion of U.S. defense assistance to Israel over the coming 10 years. 

“Had he handled it correctly, Netanyahu could have gotten another $4.5 billion,” Barak said. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “pulled the rug” from under pro-Israeli members of Congress by rushing to sign the new $38 billion 10-year “memorandum of understanding” with the Obama administration, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) said on Friday. 

“Here is what I would tell Bibi: ‘When members of Congress come to Israel, you do a great job talking about the State of Israel’s needs and threats.  Well, don’t tell us about all those needs and when we try to help you, you pull the rug from under us,'” Graham said in a conference call with American Jewish community leaders. “ I think that is bad for Israel.”

In looking through the comments on this article, it is very gratifying to see that my fellow Americans are on to the racist, genocidal actions of our illegitimate US government; which does NOT exist to serve "We the People", but rather, to serve the interests of the Zionists who succeeded in hijacking our government and morphing it into a privately-owned, for-profit CORPORATION. 

refuses to publish the details of the agreement with Russia about the ceasefire in Syria
has done nothing over the last days to separate, as promised, the "moderate rebels" it supports in Syria from al-Qaeda
today bombed a Syrian army position in support of an Islamic State attack in Deir Ezzor. 

In the following video, ISIS militants are seen gloating over the corpses of the Syrian Army personnel killed by the USAF as they pronounce that this 'conquest' sets the foundation for cleansing the province from the 'Nusayris', a term both ISIS and the US-backed Islamists used for Allawites who are considered by neither as Muslims. 

I am appalled at the news that technician Nikolaos Balaskas has been fired from York University for posting anti-Zionist material on his Facebook page. 

Zionism is a genocidal ideology.  By definition, it seeks to establish a “Jewish State” on Palestinian land.  The Zionist project requires the murder or expulsion of most or all Palestinians from their homeland, along with the destruction of Palestinian culture, which is a natural outgrowth of the people’s relationship to their land.  This is genocide, physical and cultural, by any definition, including those prevailing under international law.  International Law Professor Francis Boyle of the University of Illinois, and (Jewish) history professor Lawrence Davidson of West Chester University, have, taken together, provided the arguments and documentation proving the “Zionism is genocide” equation beyond a reasonable doubt.
