Some Americans Are Waking Up

I have to hand this guy credit:

link Come April 15, tax day, Josh Ruebner plans to send his group's members to post offices, dozens of them across the country, to "educate" people mailing in their tax forms that the United States should end military aid to Israel.

The activists will hand out literature noting that the $2.8 billion Israel gets each year could fund 65,000 vouchers for low-cost US housing or retrain half a million Americans for green jobs. It costs each taxpayer $19 a year, says Mr. Ruebner, national advocacy director of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, which aims to get Israel out of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.

In 2007, President Bush phased out economic aid to Israel in favor of a boost in military aid, but that amounted to a 25 percent overall hike in funds. Furthermore, a reduction in the cost of maintaining Israel's expensive armed forces frees up government money to spend on other programs, including subsidized housing in the occupied territories

To Eugene Bird, president of the Council for the National Interest, a group advocating a "more balanced" approach to Middle East affairs, US money does in effect finance settlements in the West Bank that house 400,000 settlers – "though I never will be able to prove it," he confesses.

So if President Obama wants to pressure Israel to stop expanding settlements, what can he do?

He should not engage in a public fight, says Stephen Walt, a Harvard University professor of international relations and coauthor of a book on the Israel lobby. Rather, he says, Mr. Obama should use the bully pulpit to express displeasure, maybe calling the settlements "illegal." He should take diplomatic steps, such as voting for a United Nations resolution condemning the 42-year-old occupation; slow down or trim US purchases of Israeli military products (worth perhaps half a billion dollars a year); and limit loan guarantees.

One advantage of these measures: Congress would not need to be involved, notes Mr. Walt.

ISRAEL GOT WHAT IT WANTED

After weeks of provocative war mongering moves, such as opening a synagogue at Al Aqsa Mosque, refusing to let Muslim enter Al Aqsa Mosque, ethnically cleansing Muslims from their homes in East Jerusalem, announcing more land grabbing settlements of close to 2 thousand new psychotic settlers, and generally poking sticks and attempting to instigate fights with Muslims, Israel is today rejoicing, their work has now paid off.

Today a small rocket was fired into Israel (by a handful of dissidents) and a Thai agricultural worker died as a result, this is very sad for the innocent man, however it is not a reason to once again bomb thousands of innocent Gazan civlians. But, for Israel this is a “Win Win” situation and now Israel can order air strikes on thousands of innocent Gazans, such a deal! Never mind that the Government of Gaza, Hamas, has not fired any rockets and in fact has been dealing with these radical Al-Qaeda sympathizers, who are not only a threat to Israel, but also to Hamas and the population of Gaza. So Israel’s reaction will of course be to wipe our more innocent people for the actions of a handful of dissidents that the Government in Gaza isnot part of. If that had been done here in Ireland during the Peace Process, there never would have BEEN a “process.” After the IRA and British ceasefire was in place, a group of dissidents carried out THIS bombing in 1998 where not 1, but 29 people were killed. Still both sides stayed the course for peace, rode out the rough times, and today look where we are. But then we all know Isarel is not in the business of making peace, only war:

link A rocket attack into Israel claimed by an Islamist militant group underlines a growing challenge to the Hamas movement that rules Gaza and has been trying to crack down on Al-Qaeda-inspired factions.

The attack, which killed a Thai man working on a farm just inside Israel, embarrassed Hamas as UN officials in Gaza hosted the European Union's foreign affairs chief, a rare visit by such a senior Western official to the blockaded territory.

Analysts say the groups, which identify with Al-Qaeda but have no organizational links to it, do not pose an immediate threat to Hamas's rule over Gaza but are likely to remain a thorn in its side for some time to come.

The groups are accused of orchestrating a series of bomb attacks targeting Christian churches, Internet cafes and most recently Hamas security men and offices.
"They don't have a big following but they continually challenge the Hamas government and embarrass it by doing such attacks," said Are Hovdenak, author of a report on the subject for the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (http://www.mil.no/multimedia/archive/00118/00092-118038a.pdf).

Underlining the point, Thursday's rocket launch defied Hamas's efforts to rein in such attacks from Gaza, whose 1.5 million resident are suffering ever worsening living conditions due to a blockade enforced by Israel and Egypt

Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom said Thursday's rocket attack had "crossed a red line.” "The Israeli response will be appropriate. It will be strong," he said. Previous attacks have drawn Israeli air strikes.

However, the attack by a group called Ansar Al-Sunna during a visit by the EU's Catherine Ashton, who did not meet Hamas officials, is likely to encourage the group to further tighten its grip on radical dissidents

And how many times has Isarel bombed Gaza since the "war" supposedly ended? Numerous times!

ISRAEL IS A SERIAL KILLER LOOKING FOR NEXT VICTIM

In Israel: War is Life~Life is War

I came across this article from Haaretz. The overall jist of the article is all about how Israel must investigate itself in order to disprove the Goldstone Report. But, what I found to be quite stunning within the article, actually had nothing at all to do with what the article was really about, e.g. the Goldstone Report.

No, for Israel it is not the Goldstone report, the UN, Iran, Hamas, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria or the never ending list of nations and people Israel doesn't like. No, the problem exists with Israel. And it can be seen clearly within sections of the aforementioned article which I have posted below. That "problem" is the fact, the very sad fact, that for Israel "War is Life, and Life is War." It is what they do, it is all they do, jump from war with one, to preparing for war with another. Israel does not know how to be anything but an armed aggressor,a serial killer, continually looking for its next victim. Existing in a perpetual state of "impending war." Note the ease and "manner of factness" the writer of the article talks about the "Next War" as if it is always inevitable? There can be no other way, there must always be another war. The serial killer is never satisfied, on to the next victim:

The Israeli reactions to the conclusions reached by the Goldstone Commission about Operation Cast Lead are characterized by large doses of affront and anger. But the issue of the next war is no less important. Justice Richard Goldstone, who conducted his investigation on the basis of a clearly ideological approach, effectively operated as an "unknowing agent" of Tehran. (sorry but LOL at that insanity) The practical significance of his report is that Israel is liable to wage its next war, against a more serious threat than the one posed by Hamas, with its arms and legs shackled. (translation: a fair fight, rather than merely using white phosphorous on civilians he means) Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi AshkeNazi this week told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Hezbollah is in possession of missiles with a range of 300-325 kilometers.(And 1. Israel has the 4th largest army in the world and 2. Lebanon has the right to resist Israel aggression)

The need for an additional Israeli examination of the events in Gaza did not dissipate after the publication of the Goldstone report, and it goes beyond the growing danger that suits will be filed against IDF officers abroad. (Only against the War Criminals)

The report, which is being quoted everywhere and already almost constitutes a binding document, does not change the essence of the threat that Israel will confront in another round of fighting, in Gaza and especially in Lebanon. The next round will likely be more intense than previous campaigns - more rockets of higher accuracy and greater rangelink

The Serial Killer is not done yet, It wants another victim................

NO ONE NOTICES THE CONTINUED WAR

Truce? What Truce! Ceasefire? What Ceasefire! Amazing how the IDF, on orders from the Zionist government, are continuing a war against Palestine and nobody notices??? This has gone on for months, it never ends. There are daily incursions into Palestinian towns, on Palestinian soil, outside the borders of Israel. That's called an invasion, a war, a continued agression.

Israeli occupation forces , have arrested at dawn of today (4/11) one Palestinian citizen in Jenin , while it was started several attacks against the citizens in Tubas in addition to the several areas of Jenin city .

Also, eight military vehicles raided the town of Burkin, near Jenin, and were stationed in the west neighborhood of the town, and arrested the young Mohammed Hamdan (30 years) and took him to an unknown destination after searching his home using sniffer dogs.

Israeli forces also stormed back to the cafe, owned by Ahmed Daraghmeh in the town of Tubas in the late evening of yesterday, and taken them out in to the air, and started to search with their contents , and there is no arrests were reported . link

Israel’s Fraudulent Casus Belli

Are UN Sanctions in order here? Israel uses the “peace process” as a casus belli to continue the war on Palestine, and nobody notices??? In the run up to the Goldstone draft Resolution and immediately afterward, Israel took the following position;

“Israel has threatened to pull out of Middle East peace talks if Britain and other European nations fail to back the country in a key vote at the United Nations”

and

“A furious Israel said it would not continue with the peace plan if the UN Human Rights Council endorses a controversial report condemning the Jewish state for war crimes during the Gaza offensive in January.”

Two statements which I personally found quite a stunning move. Given that this is quite possibly the first time in history that a country has used “a threat of peace” as a reason for a “continued war of aggression.” But then we ARE talking about Israel here, the master twister of words. Moreover, I wondered if anyone else would pick up on exactly what Israel was implying with those statements and threats. Israel, in essence, is creating a false Casus Belli for a war on Palestine. Israel is actually using “peace” as a reason to not make peace! So after checking my sanity, I decided to check wiki, and found this:

In the post World War Two era, the UN Charter prohibits signatory countries from engaging in war except

1) as a means of defending themselves against aggression, or
2) unless the UN as a body has given prior approval to the operation.

Gaza is flattened; there are no tanks, no weapons of mass destruction, no planes with white phosphorous and no drones to deliver DIME missiles. And the UN clearly has not given Israel permission to continue it’s aggression against a people living in a fishbowl under a compete siege. Additionally there is this:

The UN also reserves the right to ask member nations to intervene against non-signatory countries which embark on wars of aggression. In effect, this means that countries in the modern era must have a plausible casus belli for initiating military action, or risk UN sanctions or intervention.

So just where is the intervention then? Israel must have a “plausible casus belli” for initiating continued military actions, or risk UN sanctions or intervention. I would ask the UN if holding a “peace process” captive and using it as a reason for a continued war falls under the heading of accepted practice, according to the above UN rules.

Al-Aqsa~Goldstone~Israel~Obama and the Jewish Lobby

I came across this excellent read. I must say that I cannot find any fault or disagreement with the writer, except for his comments regarding Obama, which I would argue on:

Ayoon Wa Azan (Forget About It, People)

I want to say once again: forget about it, people. There can be no peace with the fascist government in Israel that desecrates the Holy Mosque, and that cuts up the West Bank and confiscates Palestinian homes in Jerusalem. It is enough to hear the statements of the Israeli terrorists and read their newspapers in fact, to realize that peace with them is an impossible matter. They now want to take over the Holy Mosque [Al-Aqsa]

I also read that Sheikh Raed Salah was arrested on charges of incitement before being subsequently released, and that seven of the rioters were arrested. Also, Hatem Abdul Qader from Fatah and Kamal al-Khatib from Hamas were deported from Jerusalem for a period of 15 days each, which means that an Israel court brought Fatah and Hamas together like no one did from the two groups themselves.

Meanwhile, Nasser Judeh, the Jordanian foreign minister, provoked the Israelis by delivering a note of protest to the Israeli ambassador in Amman regarding the incidents at the Holy Mosque, and because he reached “the extent of” summoning the ambassadors of the five permanent members of the Security Council to express Jordan’s official protest against these incidents.

I want to ask here, do they want to have the right to prevent an Arab minister to meet with ambassadors to his own country? One of the Israeli newspapers then quoted the Prime Minister of the dismissed government in Gaza Dr. Ismail Haniyeh as saying: “What is happening on the “Temple Mount” is a war... our brothers from East Jerusalem and northern occupied Palestine are bodily blocking the Zionist occupation forces”, a statement which the newspaper claimed it “fuelled the flames”. The same words were then used against the Palestinian National Authority the next day.

Here, I want to say that the existence of Israel and its plainly seen crimes are enough provocation. Also, Dr. Haniyeh said “the Holy Mosque”, and did not say “the temple mount”, as the newspaper claimed. It should be mentioned here that the Holy Mosque is an existing structure, but that the Solomon temple is nothing but a religious myth just like its namesake, and that Fatah and Hamas disagree on everything except on the subject of the Holy Mosque.

Furthermore, I read about a plan to build 14,000 housing units in the area of the Arab village of Wallajah in southeast Jerusalem, which was brought for approval to the Interior Ministry's District Planning Committee. This new settlement will be called Givat Yael, and is expected to house approximately 40,000 Jewish settlers. Newspapers also said that in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, tensions are high as Israelis are seizing the homes of Palestinians, and also in Shu’fat. Yesterday, the first stone was laid for another settlement in the heart of Jerusalem.

There was also a lot of talk about Hamas and its role in the incitement against Israel, and I read that Hamas was trying to compensate for the damage it had incurred during the Gaza war and in order to embarrass the moderate Arab states.

If Hamas had indeed incurred damage in the Gaza war, then Israel suffered greater damage because it achieved nothing from the invasion except killing women and children, which must have been a goal for the fascistic government and the war criminals in the Israeli army in the first place. While there could be some moderate Arab states, there aren’t any moderate Arab peoples, since the Israeli crimes had obliterated moderation in the region and in all Muslim countries.

From the wickedness of the state of Israel, its leaders and its newspapers, I move on to the wickedness of the U.S Congress, or the land occupied by Israel as the commentator Pat Buchanan once said. I give credit for the following information to Brother James Zogby, chairman of the Arab-American institute in Washington, and which was originally published in an article written by him.

Representative Gary Ackerman (a democrat from New York) accused Judge Richard Goldstone of inhabiting a "self righteous fantasy-land”, and called the report "biased against Israel from the very beginning". I want to say here that Ackerman is biased against the United States and represents the state of Israel instead, in the House of Representatives.

Representative Dan Burton (a Republican from Indiana) said that the Human Rights Council was "despot controlled", and categorically rejected the Goldstone report. I say that he is an advocate for Israeli tyranny in the occupied lands. Representative Todd Tiahart (a Republican from Kansas) claimed the Human Rights Council was "dominated by anti-democratic and anti-Semitic nations", and I say that this is because his extremism encourages the fascist government in Israel in causing further anti-Semitism against Jews around the world, although the majority of them want peace.

Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Republican from Florida) attacked the entire United Nations, which she said is "where the inmates run the asylum". I will not say that the insane American representatives run the asylum on Capitol Hill, because insanity exempts them from liability for their actions while they are nothing but agents of the Israel lobby, and pawns in its pocket, working against the interests of the United States itself.

The Lobby (AIPAC) in fact gathered the signatures of 32 Senate members for an anti-Goldstone report letter, urging President Obama to work very hard to block any punitive action against Israel. I say here that the lobby is only trying to ensure that Israel continues committing crimes with American protection.

People, forget about it. There will be no peace with the terrorist fascistic government in Israel, whether by negotiations as in the Fatah method, or whether by confrontation as Hamas is doing. President Obama, despite his good intentions and determination, will not win a war against Israel, its agents in the Congress and the American media no matter how hard he and we try. source

ISRAEL PICKS NEXT VICTIM~JORDAN

Today Israel is starting its next fight, and that fight will be against Jordan. Israel is never content to just “live and exist” in peacefulness with its neighbours. Not happy with only attacking Palestine and possibly Iran, the bloodthirsty Zionists now start to focus on the peaceful nation of Jordan. In a report out today in Ynetnews, a Zionist rag, Israel is beginning a campaign to stop Jordan from developing Nuclear Energy, a right that applies to all nations.

Jerusalem expresses concern over Amman's plans to build nuclear power plant near Great Rift Valley, says it may destabilize sensitive fault line, cause earthquake which may lead to radioactive leak

Notice the subtle message there? Jordan is so stupid that they would build a power plant that would endanger everyone? Of course Israel has to create some “reason” to go after Jordan’s right to nuclear power. After all, Israel cannot just come out and say to the world the real reason which is that Israel wants to be the only country in the entire Middle East that has nuclear power AND nuclear weapons. The Zionist agenda is to keep all Arab Nations in the stone age. So they must create a fabricated fear story in an effort to gain world support should they need it. This is much like the current Iran situation. Why do Israel and the USA not mention that Iran has actually not broken any rules of the IAEA? Under current rules, Iran has 6 months to report any new facilities from completion date. The “new” site is just a construction site, nothing more. Yet Israel, with US assistance, has managed to convince the worlds leaders that everyone is under a nuclear threat. And I thought people would “wise up” after Bush, fat chance! Here’s more from the report today:

Israel wants Jordan to abandon its plan to erect a nuclear power plant near Eilat, fearing building such a plant so close to the Great Rift Valley may endanger the southern resort city.

According to a Thursday report in Yedioth Ahronoth, Jerusalem wants Amman to move the planned power plant to the Aqaba cliffs.

And by merely asking Jordan to “move” the plant, that causes Jordan to have to start all over again and allows Israel to have more time to work out a plan to stop Jordan from building ANY plants. This whilst Israel continues to hide its nuclear weapons from the world, is NOT a signer to the NPT and does NOT allow ANY inspections of its facilities. More:

Jordan and Egypt both want to use nuclear energy in order to generate electricity: Nuclear reactors emit virtually no greenhouse gases and produces relatively chip electrical power.

Israel too has been seeking the US and European Union's agreement to build such a reactor without having to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Jordan is still far from any operational plans, but head of Amman's Atomic Energy Committee declared recently that Jordan will become the first Arab country to employ such a reactor.

Not if Israel has anything to do with it! All Arab countries MUST be kept in the "Stone Age" either by US-Israeli political force, or by Bombing them back to the "Stone Age." Take yur pick.......Oh, and just in case people forgot about this little factoid, let us all remember that Israel is attempting to steal Jordanian land, read about it HERE And Israel also operates a Slave Factory in Jordan, you can read about that HERE.

ISRAEL'S PLAN TO STEAL LAND FROM JORDAN

Anyone needing proof that Israel plans on taking over the entire Middle East only needs to read this. Any country (Attention America) supporting these Zionist Lunatics should take note; as there will never be Middle East peace as long as these wingnuts are allowed to continually cause friction, aggression and acts of war like this with their peaceful neighbouring countries. When Israel wants something they are willing to use any ploy imaginable to justify the means. In an absolutely unbelievable and totally bizarre turn of events they are going after land in Jordan this time. A Zionist gang of thugs, calling themselves the Israel Land Fund are intent on stealing more land from Arabs in their never ending plot to take over the Middle East.

The lunatics claim that Jews owned land in Jordan during the British Mandate, and they now want it all back. Now, sane people will see the irony here. Heads up Jordan, you’re next on the “Holy Land Grab List” Note, that it is illegal for them to buy land in Jordan, but never mind, because the Zionists living around the world in other countries will help them out by cheating the system. More after this:

Jews to reclaim land in Jordan

The Israel Land Fund, a group dedicated to restoring Jewish property in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, is reportedly looking east. According to AFP, the organization plans to begin buying historically Jewish properties in Jordan as well.

Many Jews purchased land in what is now Jordan during the British Mandate, when such land was seen primarily as part of the greater land of Israel. In 1946 Jordan declared independence as an Arab, Muslim country. Two years later, the state of Israel declared independence and Jordan’s rulers confiscated Jewish-owned land in their own country for state use.

Israel Land Fund chairman Aryeh King told AFP that his organization has proof that thousands of properties in present-day Jordan were historically Jewish, adding, “We have records of the ownership.”

The plan is in its early stages, and no properties in Jordan have been bought to date. Purchasing would likely take place with the help of Jews in Europe, King said, as Israelis are prohibited from buying land in Jordan under Jordanian law.

The same Jordanian law is enforced by the Palestinian Authority, which views the sale of land to Jews or Israelis as a capital offence. The Land Fund manages to circumvent PA law by buying land through middlemen. In many cases, the group also helps Arab sellers to flee the country to avoid PA retribution.

Jewish properties bought or reclaimed by the Israel Land Fund in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria are guarded and used to build homes for Jewish activists. It was not clear what would be done with property reclaimed in Jordan.

AFP noted that if the plan were to succeed, it could cause anger in Jordan, where anti-Israel sentiment runs high despite a 1994 peace treaty.

So long as America and the world allows these people to cheat, steal and game the system it will never end and there will never be peace and America will continue to be the victim AIPAC spies, Jane Harman, Israeli Owned American Politicians, Bernie Made-Off, 25 Million dollar scam on American elderly and the New Jersey Rabbis laundering money for Israeli organisations and buying and selling American kidneys and other body parts for profit on the black market. They are now going after more Middle East land from Jordan. Israel is the sole reason there is NO Peace in the Middle East, they are nothing but maggots feeding on American money and support whilst they continue to eat up land belonging to others, this makes war, not peace. People need to wake up, stop enabling them, America is being made a fool of and you are allowing them to ruin your country for their own selfish interests and drag you into more wars.
