03-26-06 - America takes side of Israel The Boston Globe's resident Israel-apologist, Jeff Jacoby, alleges that America's foreign policy is so pro-Israel because the American people are so pro-Israel. That may be true. But this still does not disprove the Harvard study about the Israeli lobby. For, if our media is pro-Israel (which the Harvard report alleges, as do many other organizations and this writer), then Americans will never have a chance to hear another side of the story, and thus could never be anything BUT pro-Israel - which is the point. Pro-Israeli media 'watchdogs' such as CAMERA, honestreporting.com and countless other pro-Israeli organizations see to it that you will never see the Palestinians as anything other than barbaric jihadis. I know that this is not the case. And I am not the only one. We are the only nation in the world that is so ardently pro-Israel. And we are also the only nation in the world whose pro-Israeli lobby is so powerful. Coincidence?

03-26-06 - Israeli public will have to pay The fact that Israeli tax payers were forced to shoulder the entire NIS 8.5 billion (about USD 1.8 billion) price tag for the Gaza pullout bodes extremely poorly for the notion that any American administration will foot the bill for another unilateral move. First off, Israelis only recently asked again to get the money for the Gaza pullout and Negev settlement development area. So, it hasn't been ruled out. C'mon, this is Israel we're talking about here. And as for the fence, we certainly have paid for it. "While soldiers from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) overrun church properties, the U.S. taxpayer is paying for much of the $8 billion wall. " Why should we be paying ANYONE to leave illegal settlements (and for a wall that cuts into occupied territory) that should not have been built in the first place, is the question."
