Some 17 lawmakers from the centrist Kadima and parties to its right have submitted a proposal to outlaw any nongovernmental organization that provides information to foreign or international bodies that leads to war crimes accusations against the government or the army. So desperate are they to hide their war crimes. Basic democratic principles get thrown out the window.

"Almost 16 months after the war, Israel has not held accountable troops who unlawfully destroyed swaths of civilian property in areas under their control," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "Israel's blockade continues to keep Gazans from rebuilding their homes, meaning that Israel is still punishing Gaza's civilians long after the fighting is over."
Human Rights Watch say destruction in Gaza 'unlawful'

President Barack Obama will ask Congress to provide $205 million to Israel to spur production and deployment of a new short-range rocket defense system, administration officials said Thursday.....The money comes on top of annual US assistance to Israel.

Shared Jerusalem can bring peace

Jerusalem residents attack writer Elie Wiesel over appeal to Barack Obama
"Those same zealous Jews insist on inserting themselves like so many bones in the throats of Arab neighbourhoods, purifying and Judaizing them with the help of rich American benefactors, several of whom you may know personally," Sarid wrote. "Barack Obama appears well aware of his obligations to try to resolve the world's ills, particularly ours here. Why then undercut him and tie his hands?"
New Miss USA: Islamic fundamentalism in a bikini?
Fakih, a 24–year–old Arab–American whose family hails from Lebanon , has almost nothing in common with the religious zealots who inspire militant Islam. Yet the tiara had scarcely come to rest on her cascading dark tresses Sunday night when the far reaches of the right wing blogosphere went ballistic.
You'll notice that most of her critics were Israel-supporters who need for Americans to see all Arabs as terrorists, or they may feel sympathy for the Palestinians.

Russia to sell Syria warplanes, air defense systems
Bombshell: Former New Republic Editor, Peter Beinart, on the Collapse of the "Pro-Israel" Establishment
Basically, the decline of the lobby is good news for America, for Jews and for Israel. That is because it is primarily the clout of the lobby that has led the US government to support an occupation that has virtually eliminated America's influence in the Middle East, has turned off younger Jews to Judaism, and will -- unless ended by Israel under US pressure -- lead to Israel's demise. The "pro-Israel" lobby is anything but pro-Israel.

Israelis Condemn Goldstone’s Role In South Africa During Apartheid
The charges were the latest attack on Goldstone’s character since the U.N. commission he headed published its report in September 2009. Israeli officials view its findings as threatening the state’s very legitimacy, all the more due to Goldstone’s reputation as a jurist who helped end apartheid, and also because he is a Jew and self-described Zionist. They adamantly deny the report’s war crimes allegations.

Declassified GAO Report Exposes Fatally Flawed Israel Investigations
Kennedy delivered a final ultimatum to Israel on July 5, 1963, insisting that Dimona undergo serial inspections “in accord with international standards” in order to verify its “peaceful intent.” Simultaneously, the Kennedy Justice Department was waging an intense battle behind closed doors to register and regulate Israel’s elite U.S. lobby, the American Zionist Council, which was bringing in funds from overseas to lobby. Kennedy’s assassination in November traumatized the nation and led to the complete and permanent reversal of both initiatives. Interesting.
