Can you look at this map and say Israel does not systemically appropriate land?

BDS - A Fitting Reply To Israeli Violations
Israel, with all it military power and the unconditional support it receives from the US and all other western states - including its pro-Zionist news media - finds itself surrounded and besieged by a tiny Palestinian civil movement addressing all people of conscience in a worldwide nonviolent campaign against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights.

The grass-roots movement for Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) has been building a global wave of boycott actions against Israeli occupation and apartheid policies since 2005, which have now turned into a kind of tsunami gradually threatening Israel’s legitimacy as a state. The BDS global campaign has managed to achieve an amazing level of consciousness in support of Palestinian human rights among many trade unions, student organisations, artists, musicians, writers, investment funds, global corporations, many western intellectuals and writers (including Jews) as well as an ever-growing body of students all over the world.

In May, the Bill Gates Charitable Foundation, one of the richest organisations in the world, sold its shares in the security firm G4S because this British company was ‘participating in gross human rights violations against Palestinian political prisoners in the Occupied Territories’. G4S signed a contract with the Israeli Prison Authority to provide security systems to major prisons holding around 5,000 Palestinian prisoners, including many under-aged children and women. G4S is also providing the Israeli colonial occupation with equipment and services to be used at Israeli checkpoints in Occupied Palestinian Territories, besieging and isolating many Arab Palestinian communities and rendering entire West Bank a humongous prison.

In Brazil, trade unionists, students and solidarity activists have been holding blockades, seeking an end to the presence of Elbit Systems, an Israeli military company operating in the country. Their slogan is being repeated day and night: ‘Elbit, Out of Brazil.’ The latest to boycott Israel is the students’ organisation of the American DePaul University that declared ‘victory in a campaign to get the university to divest from corporations that profit off Palestinian human rights violations’. The most surprising phenomenon being seen in many universities across the US is the huge increase in the number of American reform Jews joining the BDS campaign against Israel across the nation. They are known to abhor the racist, immoral teachings of the western Talmud whose followers now rule in Israel and where one of its satanic quotes include that ‘all non-Jews are beasts in human form created for the sole reason of serving Jews’.

American reform Jews no longer have any moral connection with the present state of Israel and its Talmudists.

Ah, CI, the agonizing helplessness experienced by many Americans! Still we, the American taxpayer, must pay nearly 5 BILLION dollars to a ME nation with only 6/7 million persons. It's US taxpayer money paying for the building of these settlements and the killing of the Palestinians.

There is much poverty here in America that Republicans led by Paul Ryan is trying to make even more wretched by his plan to privatize Medicare, Social Security, giving grants to states to care for the poor, aged, infirm. Democrats are not off the hook either because they too would throw their mother under the bus for Israel. This Congress, particularly Republicans are marching to a different drumbeat. (I read an article recently which said Hillary is planning to move the US capital in Tel Avi to Jerusalem; Washington, today, considers the status of Jerusalem as an issue to be decided between Israelis and Palestinians, who also claim Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.)

In many ways I sympathize with your statement, CI: "I'll never vote again.".....Our one vote seems ineffective to move these political mountains. One should never feel their vote is a waste of time, and yet, if enough of us feel the same, we can make a difference....our kind elected African American Barack Obama TWICE! Who would have THUNK!?! I can understand too, your withering criticism of US domestic and foreign policy because I too am exceedingly harsh in my comments regarding our country. I recall in a statement posted by you many posts ago where you were scathing in your comments regarding Obama's performance. I said to you "why not impeach him if you feel so strongly!" You see, I was one of these highly sensitive posters when it comes to my country resented your words. Since that time, I've found myself experiencing the same type of strong feelings you exhibited; I do not want to impeach him, but my anger is such that it's hurled towards the president. Why does he allow Israel to continue the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians when these poor defenseless people have their back pushed up against the wall? Where is the humanity for our unfortunate brother? An even deeper question is why is President Barack Obama afraid to speak out against the Israeli government?!

I have mentioned to my husband more than one time that I would like to move to another country, either France or Canada. He answers maybe, when we retire, and this is a goal to aim for especially if the US continues its meanly base downward spiral with emphasis on widening the gap between rich and poor.....

The US, once again, is undergoing birthing pains with the election of its 2008 first Black president. A new demographic is emerging, and in a few decades, when the old regime has died out, a new more enlightened one will hopefully surface, determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

It's much more than 'birthing pains.' We have now seen the hateful 'half' of this country that would do everything in their power to destroy this country based on their hate for our first black president. No compromise, no legislation, no funding for children, no, no, no, no.......

This hate will not change with my one vote, nor will the politics of this country that continues to break down our Constitution with spying on its own citizens, torture of prisoners, and the SCOTUS monopolized by men who votes against women's health and well being.

It's going to take much more than the few voices who post on these public forums; it's going to take the young people to realize that the path of our country is the wrong path, and something needs to be done - by them. The current population of voters is not the answer - nor the people who runs our government.

That will take decades - if not longer.

Bullshit. His policies cause the outrage and your whining proves it.

The Palestinians are Muslims and every non-Muslim is inferior. Check the Islamic doctrine and you will find out they are the first KKK, Nazis, haters and supremacists.

One thing that's encouraging is the global protests. From Cairo, Europe and the US and most are without a doubt PRO-PALESTINIAN.

Did you see this move with With Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, Max von Sydow in Three Days of the Condor"? It is a 1975 American political thriller film directed by Sydney Pollack and it is a gripping movie. There were people being targeted and killed by hidden terrorists and some did not know why. To cut to the chase, the killings were all about a secret code ( uncovered unintentionally) that was meant to protect US interest in Middle East oil. Clift Robertson said at the end when the oil began to run out and Americans find it difficult to get to drive their cars, their boats, their planes, they won't give a damn who gets killed in the process as long as they get their oil."

US interest in the Middle East is unmistakeably oil! And seemingly the US doesn't give a damn how they get and keep it. Israel stands as a bulwark against all oil countries who might seek to interfere (that supposedly is the Zionist value to the US). Israel is given its nuclear facility, 3 to 5 BILLION annually by US taxpayer. Israel has also bought the US congress LOCK STOCK AND BARREL. It's looks as if Israel is the power in this relationship and the US is the puppet.

Ironically, when some of these politicians retire and with no thought of public office again, they speak out forcefully against Israel, even referring to Israel as a heavy stone around the neck of America; also, our justice system in the Middle East will continue to be nonexistent as long as Israel calls the shots for the US in middle east policy.

How long do you think it will take our government to change its current course?

Do you truly believe the current population of voters and the political parties are going to make those changes? I don't.

These are the strongest words used against Israel by the leader of a major political party in this country. Fingers crossed Ed Miliband could be the next prime minister, and he's Jewish.

When you pull your fat ass out of the drainpipe, MY LADY!!

Unfortunately, a few countries expressing their views about Israel is not going to change the current dynamics of the Zionist's killing spree of innocent peoples.

Their goal of ethnic cleansing will continue regardless of what a few country's leaders say. The Zionists wants Israel for Jews ONLY - all with our government's blessings.

The EU is a major trading partner with Israel, and Britain is one of Israel's staunchest allies. There can be a difference, if Israel was just banned from Eurovision it would make a difference. Then there's Champions League and the UEFA Cup.

Why do you repeat that lie? Now prove that is Israels goal. Is it in writing like Hamas'? Show us evidence that is the objective of Israel. Not forgetting that Israel could have done it in every war they have won.

I am sick of your unfounded lies.

You have more 'faith' than I that something will happen; I don't foresee any change.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong. I just want to see the killing of innocent children stopped.

I don't have a lot more faith, but I do note a change, whether or not it's a seed change remains to be seen.

As seen from the drainpipe?

I'm sorry, but John Voight is wrong.
https://tv.yahoo.com/news/jon-voight-cruz-bardem-israel-oblivious-damage-caused-174728957.html

I wonder how Voight would react if he was put into a prison-like occupied community where they have no freedom to leave it, and are bombarded by missiles and bombs that kills his family and friends.

The likes of Voight can call me an antisemite all he wants. The killing of innocent children in Gaza is WRONG IN EVERY WAY.

The Tea Party emerged as a political hate group against the election of Obama. Because this organization is so repulsive, their kind of malevolence will not be around too long as there's no tolerance among mainstream Americans for such. The Tea Party gets its strength from angry white people whose hatred for Barack Obama is overwhelming because he won the presidency. So deep-rooted is this contempt, they even tried to have the US default on its debt; their utter unconcern about the consequences of their actions make them a serious threat to the United States of America. After Obama is no longer in power, much of their energetic hate will dissipate....the black man in the WH is their target and the predominant reason for its existence.



Change takes time, CI, and doesn't happen over night. I do believe in a couple of decades America will surface from its drowning pool because today's college kids will create a new America or at least change many of the policies that are so cancerous to us right now.

You wrote which I agree with; it's going to take the younger generation to change the politics in this country.

Jon Voight Slams Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem for Bashing Israel


Nowhere in the letter that Cruz and Bardem signed is there any anti-Semitism. In the letter they criticize Israel not Jews.

He goes on to hold them responsible for the anti-Semitism raging in the world:



This is just another tired attempt to silence criticism of Israel by smearing its critics with the anti-Semite libel.

If I were them I'd sue the son-of-a-bitch.

It is people like John Voight who is so damn ignorant, it's the disease that shows there is no hope of any improvement for the Palestinians.

Antisemite, indeed! How about IGNORANT.
