On March 17, the U.S. DOJ was directed to ensure that AIPAC register as a foreign agent.

Finally, we close the long standing exemption to the rule that our age old allies, England, France, Mexico and Canada had to comply with.

We can further track the “soft” bribes given to our diebolded officials.

Next, get rid of the “dual nationals”, before their passports get stolen.

“With America’s help, Israel has grown to be a powerful, modern state. …But I believe there can be no greater tribute to America’s long-standing economic aid to Israel than for us to be able to say: we are going to achieve economic independence. We are going to do it. In the next four years, we will begin the long-term process of gradually reducing the level of your generous economic assistance to Israel.”

  -Benjamin Netanyahu   July 10, 1996.

Bebe and peace have no chemistry. Building settlements and walls are temporary band aides to appease those who want to be appeased.

Came across this comment by a US military expert in reference to Israel’s p/r
efforts in maintaining its “mad dog” image which was initiated by the late General
Moshe Dayan.

Who allegedly observed that Israel’s security depended on its being viewed by
others as a mad dog. He may have been correct. But he neglected to note that the
preferred response of everyone else is to kill that mad dog before it can decide to
go berserk and bite.

It may behoove Israel’s only ally at this time to consider such an option.

Arabian Sindad
Say, are you a movie star? Your terrorist sounding rhetoric sounds just like the bad guys in the Arnold Swartzennegger movie “True Lies.”  It’s almost verbatim.
Also, the famous author Joel Richardson breaks new ground with a devastating account of the possible connection between the Biblical Antichrist and the Islamic Mahdi. The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the name of peace. The Quran also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Quran is called the Mahdi, or Islam’s savior. However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Could it be possible that they are one and the same person? Richardson’s stunning research and analysis suggest that it is.
Hey dude, I would recommend that you put this on your reading list, it could open some eyes?

U.S. taxpayers give Israel over $7 million a day and what do we get? A nuclear armed, apartheid nation that routinely breaks international laws and is committing a war crime blockade on the innocent children of Gaza. They ignore the war crimes of the Goldstone report and the pronouncement of the International Court of Justice which says that East Jerusalem is occupied Palestinian territory. Stop funding this rogue nation and Boycott, Divest and Sanction.

Not that this scourge of arrogance, racism, and bigotry, named Netanyahu, was in the neighborhood, I am wondering how long it would take for the contaminated air to be purified from the poisonous and horrible smell he brought with him!

Insanity in defense of apartheid is no vice.
