Raw Footage From Gaza Shows Destruction From Israeli Bombing by @j_berlinger [link to read.bi]

As someone who doesn't really understand the mess that is the Middle East, to me it just seems like Israel wants to bomb every other country out there, and every other country out there wants to attack Israel.

I don't understand all the religious aspects of the whole lot, Jews, Muslims blah blah, blah it just seems a case of whos God has the bigger bombs to me. Just a bunch of religious nutters on both sides who think some book written 2000 years ago gives them a god given right to kill each other.

I can never see the difference between dropping a bomb from a plane in a public street with loads of innocent civilians walking around, to firing rockets into a city with loads of innocent civilians walking about.

Both sides are as blood thirsty as each other.
They don't care about the consequences of their actions, the fact that the hate both sides stoke up with their actions increases, means this will just keep going on generation after generation.

they should just get together over a beer or something and sort the shit out

All I smell is Bullshit!

Another "Twitter" Hysteria with the shrillest warmongers in the Middle East calling for military "escalations" - how many times I've heard the ambassador left, then he didn't, then he did - it's a fucking monkey theater guys. So Morsy summons the Envoy but at the same time they're not here anymore?



Get on with it already - fucking twitter BS!



PS: And all you Israel shills and supporters in here, if you think that's a good thing what's going on now, you have another thing coming, because the International Community including the UN has called for Israel to stop their "escalation" - we all know what's it's really about. Scared Nuttyahoo he's being held accountable if Palestine goes to the UN later this month. So predictable....

Tel Aviv has been hit by rockets

Really...by whom, from where?

by hammas!

what's your source?

Obama: "The best is yet to come" Really?

By Alan Hart
Posted on 13. Nov, 2012

When President Obama tried to get a real Middle East peace process going by calling on Israel to halt its illegal settlement activity and his “Yes, we can” became “No, we can’t”, I dared to invest some hope in the idea that in a second term he would use the leverage all presidents have to oblige Israel to end its defiance of international law and be serious about peace on terms the Palestinians could accept. And that investment was not the consequence of mere wishful thinking on my part.

There were two main reasons for my cautious optimism.

The first was (and is today even more so) in the fact that behind closed doors in Washington D.C. top military and security people are completely aware that it’s no longer in America’s own best interests to go on supporting the Zionist (not Jewish) state right or wrong.

The second was my knowledge from sources I trust that Obama has always understood that without an acceptable measure of justice for the Palestinians there could be no end to the conflict, only catastrophe for all. When he was preparing for his first run for the White House, he told a close American-Palestinian friend not to expect too much from him in his first term but to be optimistic about what he could and would do in a second term. (I took that to mean that Obama was fully aware of a fundamental truth expressed to me by former President Carter. As I have stated in previous articles, he said that any American president has only two windows of opportunity to take on the Zionist lobby, the second window being the last year of his second term – i.e. after the mid-term elections of the second term).

Today there is a third reason for cautious optimism. It was summed up in a Ha-aretz headline over an article by Akiva Eldar on 12 November – American Jews are giving up on Israel.

His opening two paragraphs were the following:
The most worrying news that came out of the U.S. presidential elections was that American Jews seem to have lost interest in Israel. Just 10 percent of American-Jewish voters said Israel was their highest priority when they went to the polls, according to a recent exit poll conducted by the pro-peace Israel lobby J Street. Nine out of 10 said domestic issues like job rates and health care were their top concerns. This is despite the fact that the Republicans and Jewish activists, many of whom are supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told countless horror stories about what they described as Barack Obama's plot to throw Israel to the Iranian wolves.

These statistics support the analysis of political commentator Peter Beinart, an associate professor at the City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism, who argues that the ongoing occupation and the revelations of Israeli racism have distanced American Jews from Israel and from the Zionist idea.

And then there’s this. For a recent study two researchers from the California State University and the Hebrew Union College asked young American Jews whether they would regard Israel’s destruction as a personal tragedy. Fifty percent said they would not.

In a commentary on this finding for the Connecticut edition of the Jewish Ledger, Eric Mandel (a supporter of Israel right or wrong) asked why young American Jews do not feel connected to Israel. His answer included this:
“One explanation is that many young American Jews feel that Zionism conflicts with their liberal values. Raised on the ideal of universalism and exposed to post-nationalist ideology on campus, they cannot grasp how a nation state of and for a particular people is not racist by definition.
“More importantly, many young Jews are compelled by the Palestinian narrative of victimhood. They have internalized the belief that the underdog is always an innocent victim and holds the moral high ground, and they cannot give their allegiance to the ‘oppressor.’ The anti-Israel bias at many schools, particularly in Middle East studies departments, reinforces these negative views, as does the propaganda of anti-Israel campus movements like BDS. There is cause for concern that the American Diaspora’s support for Israel will not be inevitable.”

What all this suggests to me is that a growing number of American Jews are beginning to understand that it’s only by distancing themselves from the Zionist monster that they can best protect their own interests. As I have previously argued (it bears repeating), what we are witnessing in the world today is a rising global tide of anti-Israelism, which is NOT anti-Semitism. The danger is that it could be transformed into classical anti-Semitism if American and European Jews do not distance themselves from the Zionist state and its crimes.

It has never been a secret that the Zionist lobby in all of its manifestations does not speak for most American Jews. In recent years, for example, polls taken by various Jewish institutions and organizations have indicated that AIPAC, the dictator of American policy on all matters to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict, represents the views and wishes of not more than 25 per cent of American Jews.
