Congress, on behalf of Israel, about to declare war on Iran
The mainstream media in America has thus far ignored this issue.
Who Voted for War With Iran, Mr. Obama? by Philip Giraldi
House of Representatives resolution 1553, introduced by Congressional Republicans, and currently working its way through the system will endorse an Israeli attack on Iran, which would be going to war by proxy as the US would almost immediately be drawn into the conflict when Tehran retaliates. The resolution provides explicit US backing for Israel to bomb Iran, stating that Congress supports Israel’s use of “all means necessary…including the use of military force”. The resolution is non-binding, but it is dazzling in its disregard for the possible negative consequences that would ensue for the hundreds of thousands of US military and diplomatic personnel currently serving in the Near East region.
American Jews don military uniforms for volunteer service
They left their comfortable lives in lap of their families for meals in soldiers' residence during combat training. Volunteers of 'Aish Machal' project come to contribute to Israel in only way they see fit – military service ......"Nathaniel told me that if he's going to take a bullet, he'd rather take one in Israel, for the country," Is there something wrong with joining the military of the country in which they were residing - AMERICA? We've got TWO WARS going on, something is not right with this picture. A MUST READ from start to finish.
Israel, U.S. sign deal to upgrade Arrow missile shield
The Arrow III will allow Israel "to deal with the threat of ballistic missiles with long range" and will give it "the ability to shoot down weapons of mass destruction outside the atmosphere," the ministry said in a statement.

Laughable.

Palestinian shepherd videotapes Israeli settlers
Episodes like this are frequent in the South Hebron Hills, where
settlers from the settlements and the outposts attack Palestinian
shepherds and farmers to intimidate and force them to leave their lands. These
kinds of illegal actions are usually left unpunished and many of them occur with
Israeli military and police complicity. The Palestinian communities of this area
have chosen to nonviolently resist the continuous abuses of the Israeli settlers
and military.

US Cash for Israeli Settlements Making a Mockery of the Moratorium
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have declared a freeze on new settlements, but construction is continuing in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Settlers are receiving contributions from American foundations that enjoy tax breaks, including Christian groups that see Biblical prophecies being fulfilled......According to research by the New York Times, pro-settler groups have raised over $200 million (€155 million) in the last 10 years. Such foundations in the United States can be exempted from taxes as long as they benefit "educational, religious or charitable" causes.
Resolution Green-Lighting Israeli Strikes on Iran Introduced by House Republicans
Hawkish former Bush Administration official John Bolton recently laid out the game plan to prod Israel into attacking Iran, arguing that outsiders can "create broad support" for a strike by framing it as an issue of Israel's right to self defense. Supporters for military strikes, Bolton says, should "defend the specific tactic of pre-emptive attacks" against Iran. He urges that Congress can "make it clear" that it supports such strikes and that "having visible congressional support in place at the outset will reassure the Israeli government, which is legitimately concerned about Mr. Obama's likely negative reaction to such an attack." John Bolton is a traitor to the American people, and ought to be treated as such. He works FOR ISRAEL.
Israel’s Secret Police Exposed

Natural gas could lead to new Lebanon-Israel war
The discovery of large natural gas reserves under the waters of the eastern Mediterranean could potentially mean a huge economic windfall for Israel and Lebanon, both resource–poor nations – if it doesn't spark new war between them.
Just one more resource for Israel to thieve from the Arabs.

A Victim of Madoff and Changing Priorities, the American Jewish Congress Calls It Quits
Others say privately that while the AJCongress was doing important work, focusing on issues of religious freedom in the United States, free speech and women’s rights, those simply did not resonate with donors who show more interest in Israel and anti-Semitism. Isn't that interesting?
Israel Gets Brutal With Media
"We would appreciate it were the authorities to remind the various forces involved, that open, unhindered coverage of news events is a widely acknowledged part of the essence of democracy.
"Generally speaking this would not include smashing the face of a clearly marked photographer working for a known and accredited news organization with a stick, or for that matter aiming a stun grenade at the head of a clearly marked news photographer or summarily arresting cameramen, photographers and/or journalists," said the FPA.
Whatever Happens, Israel Can Always Count On U.S. Evangelicals

Reading the tea leaves
hopes received a hard knock by reading here that a lion’s share of GOP congresspeople with Tea Party ties signed on to an idiotic resolution endorsing an Israeli military strike on Iran. The resolution is dumb in the first place, because Israel would only attack Iran if it had assurances that the US would step in to clean up the mess, and basically continue the war Israel started. But since that war would probably immiserate the United States with oil price spikes, plus ramp up the casualties in Iran and Afghanistan, it’s a bad deal
ADL accepts Oliver Stone apology over Holocaust, U.S. Jews remarks
"I do agree that it was wrong of me to say that Israel or the pro-Israel lobby is to blame for America’s flawed foreign policy," Stone said in a statement released on Wednesday, adding that his comment was "not true and I apologize that my inappropriately glib remark has played into that negative stereotype." Are you f'king kidding me, Oliver Stone? You are 100 % CORRECT. Why the hell did you back down from the truth?

Pipes: To Get Obama To Act, Netanyahu Should Threaten To Nuke Iran
a recent interview with the right-wing Christian Zionist Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, neoconservative pundit Daniel Pipes shared his view that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should threaten to use nuclear weapons against Iran as a means of “applying pressure” on the United States. Pipes is another traitor to America. An attack by Israel on Iran puts our troops and our missions in the region in GRAVE DANGER. Pipes, Kristol, Bolton, most of US Congress and countless others that are pushing for support for such a strike are all TRAITORS. They do not have the interests of AMERICANS as their primary concern.
Israel to UN: North Korea arms proliferation destabilizing the Middle East
Hey pot, this is the kettle calling.
Terror’s Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone By Ray McGovern
Neither contractor nor intelligence agency staffers seem to see much incentive in touching the third-rail issue with which even former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld openly wrestled — what motivates these incorrigible terrorists to attack the United States and U.S. targets?
Not even his Princeton pedigree seemed of much help to him in figuring this out, so he opted for torture. Yet, there is zero appetite to address what effect U.S. invasions and occupation of Muslim countries and our Siamese-twin relationship with Israel might be having among young Muslim men.

Israeli Military Assaults Palestinians and Activists in Nonviolent Shuhada St. Action
In 2000 the street was closed to Palestinians, and even though U.S. Aid came in 2004 to renovate the street for both Palestinians and Israelis, after the work had all been accomplished, the street was declared “a settler-only street.” Israeli settlers and authorities have not only confiscated Palestinian buildings or welded shut the entrances, they now also control all the market and parking spaces connected to Shuhada Street.

Haim Saban to CBS: Cancel Oliver Stone's Showtime Series
IRONY. Oliver Stone's comments are proven true by the pro-Israeli community's reactions to his comments. Case in point, Haim Saban, and the ADL's reaction. Suddenly Stone has to apologize not once but twice for his comments. When in fact the reaction proves him right.
