ROLLING IN DOSH, MORE MONEY FOR SETTLEMENTS

STAND BACK, ETHNIC CLEANSING IN PROGRESS

Hey America, look what your hard earned tax dollars of 3 BILLION a year to Israel buys you:
link Israel has allocated USD 15 billion for settlements according to its "Jerusalem 2020" plans, a reliable report said here on Saturday, according to Qatar News Agency (QNA).

Assistant Arab League Secretary General for Palestinian Affairs Mohammad Subih called to implement the latest financial resolution during the latest Arab Summit held in Sirte, Libya, pointing out that the Holy City is in need of financial aid.Subih warned of seriousness of the case, due to the Israeli plans (Jerusalem 2020) for invading the city and turning Arab population in it into a minority.

According to the report received by the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Israel seized approximately 660,000 meters from the town of Isawiya.

Furthermore, the plan works to transfer more than 40,000 settlers to Jerusalem in order for the city to be Israeli property. The report also indicated that the population of Al Quds is 760,000 people, where Jewish community adds up to 65 %, where the 35 % left is Palestinians.

The plan also aims to reduce the Arab percentage to less than 12 % by the year 2020.
The project area is approximately 12,600,000 meters, including the Western and Eastern strips, as well as the seized Palestinian lands from the 1967.

The report also included facts of al quds before 1967, where the population of Palestinians were 70,000 and no Israelis, and due to the immigration policy and identity withdrawal, Israelis now are 180,000 people to 25,000 Palestinian in Eastern Jerusalem.
Therefore, Palestine that used to control 100 % over its lands now is in control of
14 %, due to the confiscation.

Subih stressed that facts cannot change throughout the years, not even via the policies of settlements, Judaization, or replacing road signs.

Israel Becomes America~And Does Not Like It


There I was feeling all mopish. I mean it's hard to keep a Positive Mental Attitude over the Palestinian situation when you check the news everyday, only to find the Evil Rogue State has done yet another outrageous act against Palestine and Peace. Yet, as I perused the various news articles, my mood deepened........AND THEN I caught site of a headline that deserved investigation. Yes, could it be? Oh, this is too good to be true my little self said. Dare I click on that link, only to be dejected once again should it only be a mere "tease?" I held my breath and clicked. Eureka!! I hit Gold...Israel is having a shrieking meltdown as is evident in a report from the J-Post below.

Here's the ironic bit folks. You know how Americans are sick and tired of all the Zionist control and bullshit taking place in their country? Like the AIPAC spy case, the Jane Harman kerfuffle, the Bernie Made-Off scandal, the 25 million dollar scam perpetuated on Elderly Americans, and the latest vile act of money laundering for Israel and organ scamming by Rabbis in New Jersey? Well, lo and behold, it appears as if Israel is not liking America poking it's nose into Israeli affairs by pushing a peace process and demanding Israel uphold it's agreement against settlement building. Now, "Tut Tut" you Zionist Rogue state you, it's not like Americans are controlling your country with huge lobby groups, bribing and picking your politicians,and getting Billions off Israeli taxpayers annually, or even stealing kidneys from your people and selling them on the black market.........this reaction over America's insistance on a halt to settlements is priceless:
I don't recall Barack Obama winning the recent election for prime minister of Israel. Do you? Yet it seems he thinks he holds the office of Super Prime Minister - or is the title Dictator?

How does Obama think he has the authority to make such dictatorial demands on Israel? Does he not recognize that Israel is a viable and successful sovereign state? Does he consider Israel to be just another US state - or a colony of the US under his imperial jurisdiction?

How can anyone in the world understand why Obama and all the leaders of the European Union and the United Nations keep pressuring Israel concerning the relatively insignificant matter of building a few more houses in the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria

World leaders just keep pouring the blame on Israel for the Roadmap's lack of success. They claim that Israel has put up many roadblocks to hinder the poor Palestinians' progress. They accuse Israel of being the big, bad bully - always giving the innocent, hapless Palestinians a hard time. source
Who can be "down" when you can read this stuff LOL

Penniless Americans Hand Over Their Money


Americans, Do you have a pot to piss in? Or if you are lucky enough to have your own pot, do you find you cannot afford a window to throw it out of?

Are you an American out of work? Are you a struggling American who lost your home? Are you living from paycheck to paycheck, are you wondering how you will survive until your next paycheck? Are you wondering how you will send your kids to college? Pay the doctor bill if someone gets sick? What about that new car you need? What about a vacation? What about your retirement?

Well, no need to worry, Obama to the rescue, no not really. But, you could start by telling him you want to keep your money in your pocket, instead of paying $23,240 dollars for every Israeli in Israel (1997 figures, so much worse now) And allowing Obama to give yet another 3 BILLION per year, over the next TEN YEARS, for a total of 30 BILLION of your taxpayer money to Israel. Just so you know, this is the number they get for the next ten years 30,000000000 now wouldn't Americans be better served by keeping that money for America? What would 30,000000000 buy Americans? Perhaps funding Universal Health Care for Americans, instead of giving it to Israel? And that's not all folks, have a look at these numbers of 7 million a day to Israel now read this out today:
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 8 (UPI) -- Despite differences between the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama and Israel over Iran and the Middle East peace process, and human-rights groups' allegations of war crimes against the Palestinians, Washington continues to provide the Jewish state with billions of dollars' worth of arms and equipment every year.

And there's no sign that this will change any time soon.

Indeed, Obama has endorsed a military aid package worth up to $30 billion, without conditions, over the next 10 years that was set up by the administration of President George W. Bush in 2007.

That represents a 25 percent increase in the vast U.S. military and security assistance given to Israel during the Bush administration.

With annual military aid of some $2 billion, Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. largesse in the world. source
Feeling a bit sick now are you? Check out these numbers, which only go up to 1997, SO REMEMBER TO ADD ANOTHER 12 YEARS ONTO THESE NUMBERS and take a deep breath:

Cut Off The Money~Talking Sense

All I can say is that I agree with what he said:
Saudi FM: US aid to Israel should cease

Amidst frosty relations between Washington and Tel Aviv, the Saudi foreign minister says Washington should cut off its aid to Tel Aviv should it continue its occupation of Arab land.

In an interview with Newsweek magazine to be published on June 15, Prince Saud al-Faisal said that Washington would be held 'responsible' for Israel's actions if its unquestionable support for Tel Aviv continues.

"If you give aid to someone and they indiscriminately occupy other people's lands, you bear some responsibility."

Al-Faisal added that the US support was the main bargaining chip in the Middle East peace process and should be used to restore peace in the region.

"The United States has the means to persuade the Israelis to work for a peaceful settlement. It needs to tell them that if it is going to continue to help them, they must be reasonable and make reasonable concessions."

He said Arab states could only consider relations with Israel as an incentive, adding that the normalization of ties would not be realized unless Tel Aviv retreated from occupied land.

"If we put that [normalization] before the return of Arab land we are giving away the only bargaining chip in the hands of Arab countries," the foreign minister said.

The "Evil" Has Landed

Just was watching the Tee Vee and noticed the "Eagle", I mean "Evil" has landed,in America, and I'm referring to Netanyau of course. Who, has arrived to have some talks with Obama. Regarding those talks there is a great piece from the Telegraphon what "welcome" Bibi may get from Obama. Here's hoping it's true.
Barack Obama is to deliver a blunt warning to Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that the era of the blank US cheque is over.

The President will use a meeting with Mr Netanyahu in Washington on Monday to tell him that from now on Israel must earn its privileged relationship with America.

Mr Obama will make clear that he will not allow his foreign policy objectives to be dictated by the Jewish state's interests, and that its leaders must resume working for peace with the Palestinians. (Hallelujah, can I get a witness!!!)

The President has already fired warning shots across the bows of the Israeli government to signal that he will not be pushed around by Mr Netanyahu's newly elected right-wing coalition. Many within Israel's government are openly hostile to two key aspects of American policy on the Middle East: statehood for the Palestinians and engagement with Iran.

Martin Indyk, a former US ambassador to Israel, said: "Netanyahu is caught between a rock and a hard place, the rock being the president's determination to achieve a two-state solution and the hard place being his political base which opposes it. (Perhaps Israel should not have created this monster, now it will have to deal with the Zionist right wing population it has created, Ooooops, plan backfired)

Mr Netanyahu's political survival may depend on him sticking to his position. Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli foreign minister whose right-wing party is essential to the survival of the Likud-led coalition, is forthrightly opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state

But Mr Obama's hand in confronting Mr Netanyahu was strengthened last week by a new Zogby poll revealing that voters who backed him in the election overwhelmingly support a policy which amounts to "get tough with Israel" - ending illegal Israeli settlements within Palestinian territory and establishing a Palestinian state. Jewish voters, 78 per cent of whom voted for Mr Obama, are among the strongest supporters of the plan.

Mr Obama has already shocked Israeli officials by publicly declaring that a two state solution was in America's national interest - a clear sign that Washington will no longer automatically leap to support Israel regardless of the impact on the US.

The Obama administration has also broken a long-standing taboo against discussing Israel's nuclear weapons, by calling for Israel to declare and give up its weapons arsenal, said to number around 50 warheads. A senior State Department official said the US wants Israel to sign the nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and commit to disarmament. What he has not done yet, is query the $3 billion in military aid which US taxpayers send Israel every year, although that could yet happen given the straitened times>(Yes, take the money away, hit them in the wallet!!!)

Mr Obama also sent his CIA chief, Leon Panetta, on a discreet mission to Israel two weeks ago to warn Mr Netanyahu not to lose patience over Iran's progress to nuclear weapons - and above all, not to launch preemptive air strikes against suspected nuclear enrichment facilities.

Mr Panetta's message to the Israeli prime minister was that Iran would not be a serious threat even if it develops a nuclear weapon. With the outcome of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq still in doubt, the US has neither the stomach nor the manpower to take on another major conflict which Israel will not be able to fight on its own.

British Weapons Systems Killed Palestinians

Britain has promised to probe into its sale of military equipment to Israel amid pressure over its contribution to the Gaza aggression.

After months of evading the issue of British support for Israel, Foreign Secretary David Miliband confirmed on Tuesday that London had "almost certainly" supplied Tel Aviv with equipment used in the military offensive into Gaza.
Miliband said he would order a review of all licenses for arms export to Israel.

"I can confirm that we are looking at all extant licences (for sensitive exports to Israel) to see whether any of these need to be reconsidered in light of recent events in Gaza," he said in a written statement.

While Tel Aviv continues to enforce a crippling blockade on Gaza and prevents necessary humanitarian aid and assistance from reaching the 1.5 million people inside the strip, British support for Israel has sparked controversy and has prompted opposition in parliament.

"All future applications will be assessed taking into account the recent conflict," Miliband promised.

Equipment supplied to Israel from the UK includes parts for Israeli reconnaissance satellites -- which are suspected of playing a part in espionage operations by the Israeli army.

"We assess that these might have been used to prepare the operation but would not have played a significant part in the operation itself," the British diplomat explained.

According to Miliband, F16 aircraft that incorporate British components indirectly exported to Israel via the United States were also "widely used" to deliver precision-guided bombs.

The UK has banned the export of F16 components to Israel since 2002.

Apache attack helicopters, Saar-class corvette naval vessels and armored personnel carriers -- all of which either incorporate British components or are upgrades of models supplied by the UK -- have also been employed by Tel Aviv during the war.

While the UK probe is expected to eventually prevent all future arms sales for the use of internal repression and external aggression, the decision has failed to quell the criticism leveled against the British government.

"David Miliband failed to bring pressure to bear on Israel through a suspension of arms sales when it might have had a useful effect," Edward Davey, foreign affairs spokesman for the Liberal Democrats, said in a statement.

"A review now only serves to slam the stable door after the horse has bolted," he insisted, describing the move by the British foreign secretary as a mere confirmation that the British arms control system had broken down.

More than 100 legislators in the UK signed a statement in January that called for an embargo on the supply of military equipment to both sides of the Gaza conflict.

Israel makes nearly 95 percent of its military-related purchases from the United States, which bankrolls many of the contracts using the nearly $3 billion in annual foreign aid it has allocated for Tel Aviv.

The British contribution to the total Israeli arms imports are believed to stand at around 1 percent.

Despite global condemnation of the war on Gaza, Washington has taken no action to curb Israeli aggression against the Palestinians who have become the victims of a 60-year-old Israeli land-grabbing campaign that has forced them out of most of their native land for the sake of a purely Jewish Israel. source

STOP FUNDING ISRAELI ARMY~Amnesty Intl Says

Jewish Paranoia a Must Read

Paranoia is a social disease — you get it from screwing other people.

This is SUCH a great post by by Dr. Paul Balles over at Pacific FreePress he sums up waht we all know only too well. Israel is suffering from a severe disease called "paranoia" a must read!

A pressing problem: paranoia and power

Today, America is involved in an illegal "war" and a pre-emptive pregnancy. Everyone now knows that the invasion and occupation of Iraq were, and still are, based on a fraudulent attempt to capitalize on 9/11.

Everyone (who pays attention to politics) knows that the WMD excuse for invading Iraq was a fraud, making the entire murderous exercise even more illegal than a defensive war would be.

The only thing America and the UK were defending by invading Iraq was the vague possibility that sometime in the distant future Iraq, under Saddam Hussain or another leader like him, could pose a WMD threat to Israel.

Let's face it, Israel is paranoid. According to Canadian Mordecai Richler, Jewish paranoia has become a natural phenomenon. As he expressed it, "Coming from Canada, being a writer and Jewish as well, I have impeccable paranoia credentials."

Many will argue that Israelis have a perfect right to be paranoid based on their experiences with persecution and genocide. However, that does not give Israel the right to exercise their paranoid reactions against Gaza or transmit its national disease to America.

Now, out of the same paranoid delusions toward Iran as it had toward Iraq, Israel makes continued efforts to goad and provoke America into engaging in a war with Iran. America resists (or pretends to), giving itself the excuse of trying to approach negotiations with Iran, but finding Iran uncooperative.

According to mental health experts, “paranoia is incurable. The best course is to discharge the patient for the sake of the supporter’s health.” In short: leave Israel to its sickness. READ THE REST HERE

Goodbye Nukes? Good Luck With That One!



I watched this live and Obama said today in Germany he wants to "rid the world of nuclear weapons" a noble cause, but to Obama I would say this; Good luck with that one! The only way Israel will let go of it's Nuclear Weapons and take it's murdering finger off the button, is if the US pries Israel's cold dead fingers off the big red button. Israel is a threat to world peace. Report below:

Obama wants world without nukes

STRASBOURG, France, April 3 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama Friday in France pledged to work to create a world without nuclear weapons.

Addressing a crowd of roughly 3,000 students in Strasbourg, co-host of NATO's 60th anniversary summit this weekend, Obama warned that "even with the Cold War now over, the spread of nuclear weapons, or the theft of nuclear material, could lead to the extermination of any city on the planet."

Obama added he would, at an EU-U.S. summit Sunday in Prague, "lay out an agenda to seek … a world without nuclear weapons."

The crowd at the sports hall in Strasbourg, made up of students mainly from Germany and France, erupted in cheers and long applause.

Obama's comments came just two days after a meeting with Russian President Alexander Medvedev Wednesday in London; the leaders had announced plans to seek a deal aimed at reducing their Cold War-era nuclear arsenals.

NO ARABS ALLOWED~Egypt Angry at US & Israel~Trouble Brewing

I find this amazing that no Arab countries were included, AND that Isarel was allowed to attend as an "observer" translation=To control and ensure they get what they want. This is definitely a backdoor way of getting US soldiers into the Middle East again, of course at the behest of poor little Israel (4th largest army in the world with nukes!) But they want to drag the US into another conflict in the hopes that the US will then back an attack on Iran. Egypt is correct, this is a disgrace. America should be careful as soon it will have no Arab states as Friends because the US uses them and continually capitulates to Israel. Egypt does not deserve this!Wise up America, get Israel out of your foreign policy and your government before Israel makes sure your country is as hated as theirs is. Obama, "where's the hope and change"????

MIDEAST: Big Powers Moving In on Gaza

CAIRO, Apr 3 (IPS) - Nine NATO member states agreed last month to utilise naval, intelligence and diplomatic resources to combat the alleged flow of arms into the Gaza Strip. Some Egyptian commentators see the move as a surreptitious means of cementing foreign control over the region.

"These new protocols aren't really about halting arms smuggling," Tarek Fahmi, political science professor at Cairo University and head of the Israel desk at the Cairo-based National Centre for Middle East Studies, told IPS. "Rather, they aim to establish foreign control over the region's strategic border crossings and maritime ports."

On Mar. 13, a major conference was held in London aimed at "coordinating efforts" to stop alleged arms smuggling - by land or sea - into the Gaza Strip, governed by Palestinian resistance faction Hamas. Participants at the conference included high-level representatives from nine member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), including the U.S., Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Norway.

Although Egypt reportedly received an invitation to attend the London gathering, it disdained to send a delegate. Palestinian representation, too - from either Hamas or the U.S.-backed Palestinian Authority - was conspicuously absent. Israeli officials, meanwhile, reportedly attended the meeting as "observers".

But Egyptian analysts say the agreement represents a furtive attempt to "internationalise" the longstanding siege of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.

The Denmark and London conferences come on the heels of an earlier U.S.- Israel security pact, signed in mid-January only days before the departure of then U.S. president George W. Bush.

Like the recent anti-smuggling conferences, the agreement outlined general procedures aimed at stopping alleged weapons smuggling into the Gaza Strip. The document also commits Washington to "accelerate its efforts to provide logistical and technical assistance and to train and equip regional security forces in counter-smuggling tactics."

Egypt, however, which shares a 14-kilometre border with the embattled territory, rejected the accord as an infringement on its national sovereignty. "When it comes to Egyptian land, we are not bound by anything except the safety and national security of the Egyptian people and Egypt's ability to protect its borders," Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul-Gheit told reporters at the time.

Independent Egyptian commentators also harshly criticised the U.S.-Israeli agreement.

"Even though Egypt shares a border with Gaza, it was not a party to this security pact," said Fahmi. "What's more, a close reading of the document shows it is not in Egypt's interests and could even end up providing Israel with access to intelligence on Washington's Arab allies.

"Similarly, Egypt wasn't involved in the recent anti-smuggling conferences in Europe, which were convened - in the absence of any Arab participation - with the express purpose of establishing foreign control over the region's strategic border crossings and maritime ports," added Fahmi.

Mazloum agreed that the international pact signed recently in London was less about fighting arms smuggling and more about the realisation of geo- strategic objectives.

More US Weapons Arrive in Israel

America wake up stop arming these lunatics!


As US arms shipment reaches Israel, President Obama urged to halt further exports

The new delivery to Israel of a massive consignment of US munitions, revealed by Amnesty International today, throws into question whether President Obama will act to prevent the US fuelling further Israeli attacks against civilians that may amount to war crimes, as were perpetrated in Gaza.

According to new information received by Amnesty International, the Wehr Elbe, a German cargo ship which had been chartered and controlled by US Military Sealift Command, docked and unloaded its cargo of reportedly over 300 containers at the Israeli port of Ashdod, just 40 km north of Gaza by road. The German ship left the USA for Israel on 20 December, one week before the start of Israeli attacks on Gaza, carrying 989 containers of munitions, each of them 20 feet long with a total estimated net weight of 14,000 tons.

"Legally and morally, this US arms shipment should have been halted by the Obama administration given the extent of the evidence showing how military equipment and munitions of this kind were recently used by the Israeli forces for war crimes," said Brian Wood. "Arms supplies in these circumstances are contrary to provisions in US law."

Asked about the Wehr Elbe, a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed to Amnesty International that "the unloading of the entire USmunitions shipment was successfully completed at Ashdod[Israel] on 22 March".
