by the way: i made a mistake. $3 billion a year that you pay to israel works out to $8,219,178 a day of your tax money going to israel.

don't act stupid. palestinians receive chump change compared to the $3 billion a year israel receives from you and the rest of the US taxpayers. but that's okay, because you're fine with paying that money. you're just not okay with paying money towards something that wants to bring peace.

i guess you prefer paying $1 million a day to israel to not have peace.

why can't the europeans stay numb and ignorant to what their government is doing and pretend there isn't a large problem in the economy like the american people do?

a fair request on international human rights day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noTojOAAC8M i doubt he receives any donation from AIPAC.

the longer israel drags its feet and refuses to recognize that palestinians have rights and also deserve their own state under fair and just conditions, the bigger the chance we'll see the world governments having no option but to take action against the rogue state. the amount of pressure from people from around the world on their governments to take a stance against israel's violations of human rights and international law continues to grow at a fast pace. unless israel smartens up, isael's fate and place in the international community will be the same as its former close friend, apartheid south africa. 26 former top EU officials, including ex EU chief Solana and former German President Richard von Weizsacker, urge world powers to confront Jerusalem over its refusal to obey international law. link

heh. that's a tough one to swallow.

some may ask why would they criticize it? obviously because the extreme right wing zionist government has never wanted a palestinian state to be created. that's over 100 countries who now recognize the palestinian state, within the internationally recognized 1967 border. Israel has reacted angrily to Argentina's recognition of a Palestinian state within 1967 borders. Monday's move by Argentina comes days after a similar step by South American neighbour Brazil. The Argentinian foreign ministry said recognition was in line with the Palestinians' right to build an independent state. More than 100 states around the world recognise Palestine, their mission at the United Nations says. "The time has come to recognise Palestine as a free and independent state," Foreign Minister Hector Timerman said, adding that Argentina was "frustrated" that peace talks had stalled. BBC

must have been her political views "During Bewitched's run, she was a vocal critic of the Vietnam War. In the late 1980s and early 1990s she narrated a series of political documentaries, including Coverup: Behind the Iran Contra Affair (1988) and the Academy Award winning The Panama Deception (1992).".

i don't give a shit whether you're jewish, bob is jewish, naomi is jewish or anyone else is jewish. i do care when anyone, whether they're jewish/muslim/christian/athiest/etc., uses their ideology to try to excuse violating human rights. zionism does not equal being jewish. zionism is an ideology that comes in different shapes and forms. there was a struggle between different groups in the early part of the last century and the really crappy racist one, that has no problem crushing other people's human rights is now controlling israel's path. zionism is wrong. why? because in order to achieve it, another people's human rights must be crushed. this is what ben guiren, whose own zionist ideology slowly transformed from something one might see as fair and just, to something like this. in 1937, in regards to the peel commission partition plan: what about rabin? this is what zionists are willing to live with. this is why zionism should be condemned:

neither usa or canada support syria or russia politically and economically the way they support israel. it never fails that whenever there is criticism of israel, its blind and unconditional supporters will use the same old strategy: call those who are criticizing israel anti-semites and then compare israel's actions to other regions in the world. "hey! but look at what they're doing in darfur!" way to lower the bar for the 'only democracy in the region' and 'the most moral army in the world'.

i'm sure she will respond when or if she sees this. i do know that she is away right now. but after reading your rant, i want to respond to some of your comments. you ended the rant with: but just before that you wrote: heh. seriously. you are a walking contradiction. you also wrote this about naomi: every time i have seen your long-winded posts, you've managed to not only be incoherent, but you've also ended up looking like a total hypocrite. i know that naomi is part of a group called jewish voice for peace. when she mentions, young leaders, i am certain she is talking about these brave people who are setting an example by standing up against a system that violates human rights, instead of soaking themselves with nationalism and tribalism. it's okay to be jewish and not excuse and try to justify violations of human rights. some of the biggest leaders in this fight against modern zionism happen to be jewish. people like noam chomsky and norman finkelstein are not insecure about being jewish. rather, they prefer to apply and expect justice and fairness across the board and not only on non-jews.

you're taking a comment made by one person, before the first report was even released as "CEANA is believed to have done a piss poor job". richard goldstone has participated in some of the biggest international investigations and and prosecutions in the past 3 decades, yet you're still trying discredit him and his ability to handle the job. you are simply pathetic. you and your approach to debating are an embarrassment.

He was a member of the International Panel of the Commission of Enquiry into the Activities of Nazism in Argentina (CEANA) which was established in 1997 to identify Nazi war criminals who had emigrated to Argentina, and transferred victim assets (Nazi gold) there wiki

you say the charges are not credible. your problem is that you are the one who has no credibility. any honest and realistic person would admit that there is no plot between human rights organization and an internationally respected expert on international law (who happens to be jewish and who was part of a commission to capture nazis) to fake their conclusion about the legality of israel's actions during the attack on gaza.

the link to the list is at the bottom of this page: http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2010/11/17/idf-cast-lead-dirty-200/

it has already been concluded by several human rights organizations and experts (like richard goldstone who hunted nazis in argentina) that israel went beyond defending itself and committed war crimes and possible crimes against humanity.

? this could lead to the idf soldiers facing arrests and prosecution when/if they visit certain countries. unfortunately for them, they will not have the luxury of connections that their superiors have had when they were faced with such arrests while visiting some european countries. here is more from the article: The debate is already taking place around the question, “Can I be held responsible?” The answer to that question could potentially determine whether it will be possible to mount a massive offensive against a population that has no effective military forces, as in Gaza, or where saturation bombing, cluster munitions and depleted uranium might be used, as in Lebanon. This is potentially a daunting prospect for Israeli military commanders, and some sources in Israel believe that the publication of the 200 has already had that effect. More likely, however, it is premature to make such a call. It seems unlikely that Israel will succeed in putting the genie back in the bottle with regard to the list of 200. It is already leaping from one place to another in cyberspace, via website and email (although Israel seems to have been temporarily successful in banning it from Facebook). However, will it generate further research and release of information on the potential offences committed by the named individuals, and will it lead to further publication of such lists?

israeli officials are still scared to travel to some european countries because they might get arrested and prosecuted.

ooh. so did snoop doggy dog. *ding*

oh yeah. coldplay, one of the biggest bands in the world canceled their show in israel. *ding* rod stewart, however, didn't.

i'm not surprised that you're also stuck in this eternal victim mode where any criticism of israel automatically becomes anti-semitism. it's a sickness. your sickness can only be cured once you're able to accept that you or anyone else in your tribe don't need to be treated any different than any other person and that everyone deserves equal justice.

several high ranking israeli officials have had to turn away from entering different countries because of arrest warrants due to their involvement in cast lead. so yeah, if you were involved with cast lead, you are a war criminal. very good. nazi soldiers are still being hunted to this day because they were involved with the nazi war crimes. you know richard goldstone? of course you do. he helped hunt down hundreds of former nazi soldiers who escaped to argentina. it's nice to see that he's not blinded by nationalism and is not selective when it comes to justice and identifying war crimes.

i can no longer use my maple leaf flag on my backpack to travel, as the citizen of a peaceful and the loving country. neither can the americans. what's left? ireland? my irish accent sucks.

i haven't said one thing that would insinuate such a thing. people who see things that are not there are known to be mentally unstable. not only that, but the part of the article you have quoted is giving the perspective of many israelis who live in the world where they see themselves as eternal victims. those are the people who translate any criticism or resistance to the policy of the zionist regime into anti-semitism.
