Avigdor Lieberman says it will be “at least a decade” before peace can be negotiated with the Palestinians. Israel’s extremist foreign minister calls for “less international involvement and over-doing and over-speaking” in this interview.

So, izraeli crap, your euphemistic oratory means
it will take you and your zionist crap 10 years to
‘disappear’ the Palestinians? People like you and
your zionist diarrhea give yourselves the bad
name as jews are basically of good and sound
people. But hey, america has learned well, the
crap in governments of both are what rises to the
top.

One Family
In Gaza

By Jen Marlowe

05 January , 2011

Just months after the Israeli assault that killed 1,390 Palestinians, I visited Gaza. Among dozens of painful stories I heard, one family stood out. I spent several days with Kamal and Wafaa Awajah, playing with their children, sleeping in the tent they were living in, and filming their story.”

Palestinians in Gaza are depicted either as violent terrorists or as helpless victims. The Awajah family challenges both portrayals. Through one family’s story, the larger tragedy of Gaza is exposed, and the courage and resilience of its people shines through- A Must Watch Video

A Short Anthology of Racism in Israel

December 29, 2010 was a record day for Israeli racism; and we’re just getting started.

By Niva Lanir


“January 03, 2010 “Haaretz”—Last Wednesday, December 29, a hullabaloo broke out at the entrance to the Yad Vashem Holocaust and Martyrs memorial museum in Jerusalem. A group of Palestinian women (from Hebron, Nablus and Bethlehem ), members of the forum of Israeli and Palestinian Bereaved Families, had come to visit the museum. This was their first visit to Israel, the culmination of their discussion on “Understand the Narrative” with their Israeli counterparts. As they waited for the Israeli group outside the museum, they encountered several sharp-eyed Israeli high-school students. “Get out of here, you sluts,” the students shouted at them. “This place is ours, and there is no room for Arabs.” Officials at Yad Vashem and the Israeli members of the forum expressed their regret and repugnance over the incident and apologized. But it is unlikely that the tour of the museum undid the damage.”

From which school was this class? Sources at Yad Vashem say they still do not know. That morning, 32 classes visited the museum and it is difficult for them to figure out exactly which one was involved in the incident, although they would be grateful for any help. FYI, Mister Education Minister.

But even barring this event, the morning of December 29 reads like an anthology (small? partial? ) of racism: the rabbis wives’ letter promoting racial purity - “Don’t go out with Gentiles”; the call for targeted assassinations by National Union MK Yaakov Katz - “Snipers should lie in wait and shoot bullets at the heads of those Bedouin who bring in caravans of infiltrators” “

Just a fraction of what’s going to dole that regime can at least bring some better fan-fair to the Cuban regime… at least the Cuban’s aren’t harassing an indigenous population, they harass each other, naturally.

And how about the stand up comedian/rabbi who said, and this is a direct quote: ‘Goyim only exist to serve Israel. They have no purpose apart from this’?  ‘Get fucked’ doesn’t really cover cosmic arrogance and selfishness like that. Isn’t Lieberman the one who beat up a twelve year old Arab boy? A sterling character all round is Lieberman, but anyone who has followed Israeli history knows that nearly all of their Prime Ministers have been terrorists (Begin, Sharon etc) so it’s no surprise that a child beater is their foreign minister.

You can’t put an embargo on a country that already owns yours…..good luck getting these cancer cells out of your banks, Wall Street, the clothing industry, the entertainment industry, etc.

What Lieberman should have said was peace cannot be accomplished so long as Israelis are still around. 

Fucking dumb Americans…wake up you morons.

This LIEberman, like his senator-from-zion namesake, is probably well-aware there isn’t “another decade” left anyhow.  If these fools haven’t secured “the realm” in the less-than two years left before “the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it” (which they haven’t a snowball’s chance in Hell of doing), they’re going to be every-bit as shit-out-of-luck as every other sucker in the virtual world-o’-hurt.

That 8-ball they’re all behind, the one they forgot to keep their eye on, is about to smack ‘em upside the head.

HokaHey!

How about all foreign aid to that nation put on hold.

An embargo would be nice but we can increase our boycott, sanction and divest movement.
