06-26-07 - Jimmy Carter on Hardball Redouble your efforts, folks. Post all you got, as much as you can, everywhere you can. The Lobby is crapping in its astronaut diapers while the slur of anti-Semite is being furiously flung about. Let's really give them something to cry about (the truth!).

The sense at the pro-Israel powerhouse is that the wrangling over abortion is politics as usual and that further down the line, when the bill comes back from Senate-House conferencing, it will have massive bipartisan backing......."If there aren't going to be consequences on the single most important piece of legislation for Israel, when will there be consequences?" Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) told JTA. Listen, it's anti-Semitic to suggest that the Israel lobby has such power over our legislators. Don't you know?! Our legislators of one party go to AIPAC in order to get them to punish the legislators of the opposing party!


06-26-07 - Worried about Israeli intentions One can only admire the Warsaw Jews for rising up against the Nazi regime, but one can only be sickened by modern-day Israel for putting into practice so many lessons learned from the very people they despised.

06-26-07 - 'Jews worldwide should fight back' People criticize Israel not for its apartheid-like policies but because of 'anti-Semitism'. For anyone else to mention the power of the Israeli lobby - despite the fact that this overwhelming influence has been duly noted by this community itself- it's anti-Semitism. For British institutions to boycott those of Israel due to Israel's treatment of the Palestinians - you guessed it, anti-Semitism. The anti-Semite cazd has been long played out. The lobby doesn't seem to understand that, to their own detriment. It's only going to get worse.

The WCC most likely got a very good look at the Holy Land and the effects of Israel's occupation thereof. These pro-Israel groups want organizations such as the WCC to overlook Israel's policies, and thus take a stance that is biased TOWARDS Israel. Not likely.

06-26-07 - Divide and rule, Israeli style If they are all at each other's throats, how can they be a threat to poor lil Israel? Meanwhile, the settlement-building goes on. The Middle East needs its own William Wallace. Our policies therein do not serve to secure the American national interest. To the contrary - they've made us less secure. Our policies are being driven by a group of neoconservatives that have made their centcom in the office of the vice president. These policies are geared towards the security of a nation other than this one.
