Israeli Protesters Rally Against Africans in Tel Aviv  -  by Jason Dix

"...Ben Ari et al cursed Africans, hurled water at them, accused them of making Israel a 'living hell' and insisted that the elections should refocus on the issue of the mass expulsion of all Africans from the nation. The religious Shas Party, which had long made the goal of expulsion of Africans a centerpiece argument, is heading for the hills now, announcing that they are canceling a campaign video concluding with the promise that if Shas wins, 'not one Sudanese will remain."

Barbara Boxer, AIPAC Seek To Codify Israel's Right to Discriminate Against Americans  -  by Glenn Greenwald

"To accommodate this desire to discriminate, Boxer, Blunt and AIPAC are now attempting to create a special exemption for Israel from the requirement to which all other countries are bound, and by which the US will be bound vis-a-vis Israel. More amazingly, the only purpose of this exemption from these US senators would be to allow Israel to discriminate against the citizens of the country these senators are supposed to represent.

Despite the fact that Jordan's Parliament has no power and only the King can make a formal request this is still significant.  Our Western media certainly does not report on Israel in an unbiased manner.  I doubt if Jordan's dictator King will abide by the unanimous vote given he is owned lock stock and barrel by the NATO imperial powers.

Quote:

The Jordanian Parliament voted unanimously on May 8 to ask the government to expel Israel’s ambassador to Jordan, Daniel Nevo, in protest at what the members of parliament say are Israeli violations during incidents at the Masjid al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. 

Earlier on May 8 Israeli soldiers prevented Palestinians from going into Masjid al-Aqsa on the occasion of the “Jerusalem Day." Five Palestinians were wounded due to clashes and those who were barred from entering the mosque held a protest by performing noon prayer at the entrance gates.

Members of the Jordanian Parliament described the incidents as “Israeli violations.” Jordan’s Prime Minister Abdullah al-Nasour said that the government was discussing retaliation for what he called “Israel’s evil plans.”

...

The decision of the parliament is constitutionally non-binding until ratified by King Abdullah II.

Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of The Naqab Underscores Meaning of 'Jewish State'

http://www.middleeastmonitor.com/resources/commentary-and-analysis/5985-...

"By pursuing the toxic policy of ethnic cleansing in the Naqab, Israel has unwittingly exposed what it really means by a 'Jewish State' - a state where non-Jews will remain 'unrecognized' without legal rights. Already denounced as 'racist' by the UN, it would only generate support for the threatened Bedouins.

The continuation of this travesty makes it all the more imperative to reject any call for the recognition of Israel as a 'Jewish' state. That would be a blueprint to 'transfer' and complete the final chapter of the Palestinian Nakba."

"Press TV has conducted an interview with Paul Larudee, from the Free Palestine Movement about the International Criminal Court launching a preliminary investigation into Israel's deadly attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in 2010."

The Canadian tie-ins are that Canadians were on board and also the naming by Turkish intelligence of Brig-Gen Eden Attias, Israel's resident Defence Attache to Canada, who was CO of IAFB Nevatim at the time and participated in the operation. Attias was also cited as one of the 'dirty 200 list' of Israeli war criminals for his role in Operation 'Cast Lead', the attack on Gaza.
