The world, not including Israel. Because the Israeli government prefers chaos and war. They prefer to bully other countries. That's the only way they can continue the status quo. I wonder if this guy supports the Obama deal with Iran.

How can you sit there and berate marcus for 'hijacking' the thread when he is responding directly to your misinformation? Do you expect to be treated differently than others? What makes you so special? --- Back to the topic of this thread: We all know that the world fully supports the Iran deal. That leaves the U.S. Majority of U.S. citizens support the Iran deal. Majority of U.S. Jews support the Iran deal as well. All that is left, is to see whether the Israeli lobby groups will be able to convince enough Democrat lawmakers to vote against the deal so that they can get a 2/3 majority to override the Presidents veto. Something that is highly unlikely.

This is great! Thanks for sharing that. You are in the majority as most Jews living outside of Israel feel the same way.

This all might make sense in your head and you might think it's funny in your head, but it's not. No one is talking about investing money into Gaza, especially when there is a blockade and pretty much an open air prison. BDS is not about investing money into Gaza. We are talking about advocating justice in Gaza and the rest of the Occupied Territories. This is where the BDS movement, which has been successful (just ask Sheldon Adelson) comes in.

Not sure what investment in Gaza has anything to do with the BDS movement. Once again you're announcing another irrelevant comparison. You can deny the significance of the BDS movement all you want. It's useless. Even Israel and the Zionist bankrollers are accepting that the BDS movement is one of the biggest threats to Israel's status quo policies.

Great post from an awesome blog Rue. I'm glad you're not getting desperate! THIS JUST IN! JENNA JAMESON IS TWEETING IN HEBREW! There you have it. It's over for BDS! Zionism is winning against the BDS movement! I guess Sheldon Adelson will not need to finance another propaganda scheme in order to try to control, the uncontrollable BDS movement.

Looks like Marcus was right again and your short story was wrong. Israel arrests Jewish suspects over arson attack at 'miracle' church Honenu, a group known to specialize in defending settlers accused of crimes, was reported to be acting as the suspects' legal representatives. Looks like they are Zionists. Unless this group is suddenly in the mood to protect Muslims who pretend to be Jews and attack Christian and Muslim shrines in order to blame Jews. Last month's blaze was the latest in a string of attacks against Christian and Muslim shrines in Israel, the West Bank and East Jersualem in recent years. While multiple arrests have been made, there have been few indictment and convictions because of the young ages of many of the perpetrators. Few indictments and convictions... because they're too young. While Israel has passed a law to imprison Palestinian children for 10 years if they throw a stone. ONLY DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST... REPRESENT! The Catholic Church in Israel condemned it as part of a wave of aggression against Christian shrines in the Holy Land, which it said the Israeli authorities had failed to adequately tackle. It sent a report on the matter to the Vatican.

Except that I did. Recommendation: Re-read the posts. Think. Then post. It's like watching Bill Cosby's lawyer, complaining about how rapists should be punished. Unlike most Jews outside of Israel (as posted by Marcus in another thread) who, overwhelmingly, support the nuclear deal with Iran, you have become Netanyahu and Israel's #1 supporter on this forum. You excuse and unconditionally accept all their policies. You have become a Netanyahu parrot. Israel doesn't know the meaning of diplomacy and doesn't show any respect towards diplomacy. Their tactics involve bullying, buying politicians through their many lobby groups (see congress/senate) and of course, lying. So before you start complaining about a country's credibility in diplomacy after a massive achievement in international diplomacy and before you try to put down Obama and Iran for reaching a deal, I recommend that you first look at Netanyahu's backyard and clean the bottom of your shoes. Otherwise, you end up looking like Bill Cosby's lawyer complaining about rapists not receiving their due punishment.

Hey look! Netanyahu's brother from another mother: Saudi Prince Threatens 'Military Action Without American Support' Against Iran In the first public criticism of the P5+Iran deal by a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family, Prince Bandar bin Sultan told Lebanon’s Daily Star the deal would allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb and would “wreak havoc in the region." Covered in The Times of London, the prince also told DailyStar, "Saudi Arabia and the Gulf powers are prepared to take military action without American support after the Iran nuclear deal"

Unfounded? Look at the video posted by marcus. He is lying about Iraq. He lies about Iran. He lies about Hamas. He lies about Hezbollah. He tries to say that Hamas and ISIS are the same, when any educated person knows that ISIS and those groups are enemies and neither of those groups come close to the ugliness of ISIS. He lies about just about anything. It's difficult not to hear a lie every time he speaks. Since the 1990's, Iran has been a year or two away from having a nuclear bomb, according to Netanyahu. 11 Lies Netanyahu Told Congress on Iran Netanyahu’s AIPAC Speech: 5 Lies Benjamin Netanyahu Has Been Lying to Americans For 20 Years Did Benjamin Netanyahu Lie To Congress? 5 Fact-Checked Claims From The Speech When a person tries to defend Netanyahu about the recorded lies and when someone calls Obama, Hussein Obama, they are nothing but an extremist Zionist. They are a Foxnews parrot. Go ahead. I await your diatribe that tries to argue against facts.

The only time Netanyahu is not lying is when he's not yapping. He is nothing but a slimy car salesman who will lie and cheat and do whatever it takes to make a sale for war and destruction. Obama and most world leaders know that Netanyahu does nothing but lie. It's too bad they have to play politics with this unfortunate ugly creature as he does have the lobby groups and billionaire like adelson paying off prostitutes in Congress and Senate.

Are you going to stay by your comment or not? Will you accept the agreement or you don't have confidence with your random comment?

Hm. How about, if they do have a nuke within a year, I promise to quit from this site. If they don't have a nuke within a year, Netanyahu, are you willing to quit from this site?

Obama is not "giving" $150 billion. He is releasing frozen Iranian funds and revenue and allowing trades to happen which will amount to $150 billion.

Actually, Congress can override the veto via a two-thirds vote with both houses voting separately, after which the bill becomes law. So it will come down to a showdown between Obama and the Democrats who receive $$$ from Zionist lobby groups. Many say that Obama has enough Democrats, but it remains to be seen. Even if they're able to get the 2/3 votes, then the U.S. would be left behind as it will be the only country not lifting its sanctions. That will be good news for European companies who have been wanting to start doing business with Iran. It would mean the biggest economy in the world not competing against them.

There are many reasons that Israel is being singled out by some leftists in the West. Here is a snippet from an article that talks about one of the reasons: https://goo.gl/EXQqjH Certain conflicts over the past 50 years—South Africa, Israel/Palestine, Algeria, Vietnam—have stood out as exceptional for many in the west, especially for those on the left. The common denominators, the strands that tie these conflicts together, are western imperialism and/or the related phenomenon of white-settler colonialism. These two factors are crucial for understanding how it is that the Israel/Palestine conflict has gained such a prominent position within the political imagination of the modern left. Here is a more direct commentary on the Zionist approach to responding to criticism of Israel: http://goo.gl/SllLy7 Those who assert that Israel is being “singled out” aren’t interested in assessing where to rank Israel on the scoreboard of global human rights violators. They’re just setting listeners up for an old familiar punch-line: Why is Israel being “singled out?” Because the world hates the Jews. Why do some Jews harp on Israel’s depredations? It’s because they hate themselves. The charge of “singling out” is at once disingenuous and obfuscatory. It’s another way of saying that substantive criticism of Israel (not to mention organized political and economic action, including boycott and divestment, in support of such criticism) amounts to anti-semitism. It’s intended to stifle criticism — and indeed, honest discussion — and thereby distract attention away from the real-life conditions in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza: from the house demolitions; the land theft; the “administrative detentions;” the de jure and de facto deprivation of elementary rights of assembly and speech; the relentless settlement building; the roadblocks, checkpoints, and general interruption of free movement; the theft and wildly unequal distribution of water; the containment wall built on Palestinian territory; the settler violence against Palestinian individuals and property; the use of banned weaponry; the collective punishment of the entire Palestinian people; the bantustanization of the West Bank; the violations of international law; the blockading of Gaza; the manifest racism; and the daily harassment and indignities consciously and systematically imposed on an occupied populace. To defend such policies and practices is morally impossible. To equate the actions undertaken by the Israelis with those of the weak and stateless Palestinians is ethically obtuse. To ignore altogether the events on the ground in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza by raising the hoary accusation of anti-semitism, wrapped in the packaging of “singling out,” is unconscionable.

I disagree because I use the word Zionism. To me, Zionism, like Wahabbism, is an ideology which is willing to do what it can in order to achieve its goal of domination. Their difference is that one is upfront about its willingness to trample all over human rights, while the other lies, twists and tries to deflect in order to cover for its atrocities. However, at the end, they both bring misery, destruction and death to others who they believe are not the same as them or play the according to their rules. They are ideologies that should be rejected as they're simply bad for humanity.

I'm sick of Netanyahu and those who talk like him. It's nice to see that these extremists and war propagandists are being marginalized.

Zionism and Zionists are bad for the world. Zionism is an immoral, selfish ideology that has passed its prime and it's on its way down. This is why Zionists have become even more extreme. They are squeezing hard to hold onto the power they've gained through dishonesty and brutality. More and more people know how dishonest Zionists can be and more and more Jews are distancing themselves. This is why some of the leading anti-Zionist groups are Jewish groups. Jewish groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace, which has achieved so much in America through their tireless efforts in drawing attention to what Israel has been doing in the name of Zionism. It's only a matter of time before Zionism and Zionists will be ridiculed around the world like those who participated and condoned Apartheid South Africa.

Rue: It's obvious. Obama is rarely called Hussein Obama or Barack Hussein Obama. He is known as Barack Obama. The only time his middle name is used is when a racist or a bigot tries to paint him as an enemy by associating him with Arabic and Muslim extremists. This identification with a negative Arab connotation is achieved by emphasizing Obama's middle name, Hussein. Go ahead. Deny the obvious again.

Continuously saying "Hussein" Obama is what the racists do. It's race-baiting. Be dense and pretend to not know why.

I speak for myself and for what I see. You attack anyone who criticizes Israel. Whether it's Big Guy, marcus, cybercoma, Ghosthacked, jacee, eyeball, dre.. etc. It's great that you want to sell to everyone that you somehow have more credibility than different organizations, not just the UN, who have found evidence of war crimes by Israel. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B'Tselem and the Red Cross have all found evidence of war crimes by Israel. Somehow, Rue and the Hasbara say otherwise. Because they have more credibility than those organization and people like former New York Supreme Court judge, Mary McGowan Davis, who headed the most recent report on the Gaza slaughter by Israel. Yeah, okay. It doesn't matter how credible the report and the people behind the reports are, if they criticize Israel, OMG! They're Hitler!

It's like watching a FOX channel commentator, blaming everything on Obama with the usual racist undertone. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Including Israel. There is no moral standard. Israel will sell its weapons and technology to anyone that will buy from them. Some of those countries or groups are in secret because U.S. doesn't want the shared technology with Israel to get into the hands of everyone. The 3 Gaza slaughter fests were not necessary as far as self-defense, which was the official reason. The biggest reason was to test Israeli weapons so that they could be sold as tested and approved. (http://goo.gl/N8AOhp) "Yeah man! That one missile killed 4 families in one shot. Precision baby! How many do you want?" The governments around the world prefer the same system as usual. This is why the BDS movement, which has no government backing, is such an important and powerful movement. It will eventually end at least one of the vicious cycles.

Except that there is an alliance between ISIS factions and Israel. ISIS + Israel + Turkey vs Assad + Iran Israel has no moral standards. Just like the other players.

What gibberish. Who said those are lawful things? Once again, you're trying to deflect against Israel's obligations. You either stop making excuses for violating Palestinian's rights and breaking international law, or you will be side-stepped, just like Apartheid South Africa was. Not many people have the patience for excuses any more.
