The debate took place in BRITAIN - where debate about Israel is much more open, AND coincidentally, Britain's Israel lobby is not nearly as powerful as America's. When I speak of the powerful Israel lobby, I speak of the one in AMERICA. Not sure how this was ever meant to involve that of Britain. Tis America's Israel lobby that guides our foreign policy to the detriment of all. Having this debate IN ANOTHER COUNTRY defeats the purpose.

05-12-07 - War Games in Beit Leed Imagine this: You live in Pennsylvania. Canada comes into your state and sets up these military installations throughout your state. These installations come in the forms of 25 foot high walls, trenches, fences, sniper towers. Then you have checkpoints, armed with Canadian soldiers. Many of them do not speak English but they speak French. And you have to explain to these Canadian soldiers why you want to cross from your Pennsylvanian neighborhood to the next Pennsylvanian neighborhood where your sick Pennsylvanian grandmother lives. Pennsylvania is hot in the summertime. We don't have to imagine such a scenario. We had one similar to it oh let's see, some 200 years ago. Say, whatever was the outcome of THAT situation?.....

05-12-07 - Rattling the Cage: Bush and his good intentions ** I WANT to give Bush his due. There may have been other presidents who cared as deeply about Israel as he does - I'd put Bill Clinton, at least, in that category - but I don't think any president ever took sides with Israel against the rest of the world like Bush has done......And I only hope that this mutual reinforcement number that Bush and Israel have been playing stops short of a US attack on Iran. A lot of Israelis, maybe most, want Bush to do the job, and I imagine Bush is once again calculating the collateral benefit to Israel. As always, he has our best interests at heart. This notion that America is ordering Israel not to negotiate with Syria is utterly ridiculous. Not only was it denied by our officials(paragraph 3), but the case is almost always the other way around; Israel dictating to us its wants (and getting them).

Most of the people that go there and actually SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES sing a tune different than that offered by the majority of our politicians and by the mainstream media. Americans, Jews included, are being deliberately deceived.
