"...Kennedy delivered a final ultimatum to Israel on July 5, 1963, insisting that Dimona undergo serial inspections 'in accordance with international standards', in order to verify its 'peaceful intent'. Simultaneously, the Kennedy Justice Department was waging an intense battle behind closed doors to register and regulate Israel's elite US lobby, the American Zionist Council, which was bringing in funds from overseas to lobby. Kennedy's assassination in November traumatized the nation and led to the complete and permanent reversal of both initatives.."

In light of this and previous similar attacks on the theatre, this abduction can only be seen as a targeted act of intimidation and harassment of Palestinian artists by Israel's apartheid regime.."

Israel's state watchdog has criticised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the navy's interception of a Gaza-bound flotilla which left nine Turkish activists dead and commandos injured.

In a report, the State Comptroller identified "serious shortcomings" in the way decisions were taken by Mr Netanyahu before the May 2010 incident.

'A Threat to Israel is a Threat To Canada': Peter MacKay to Jewish Commander

http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/06/19/a-threat-to-israel-is-a-threat-t...

"Israel has received private assurances Canada stands ready to help defend the Jewish state, but just how far the Harper government intends to take that commitment remains unclear. Newly released documents say Defence Minister Peter MacKay told Israel's top military commander Maj Gen Gabi Ashkenazi, during a 2011 visit to the Middle East, that 'a threat to Israel is a threat to Canada.'

Canada's miltary and industrial relationship with Israel has grown enormously. The two countries are negotiating or have signed a series of defence-based agreements over the past few years, details of which have been withheld. The two countries do not have a binding defence arrangement, similar to Canada's obligations under NATO, but critics have begun to question the details of the emerging relationship...

Mr Dewar said it's no secret the Conservatives have a one-sided approach to the Middle East, but he believes it will ultimately damage relations with Washington. 'It's fine to say we ae friends with Israel and we support Israel. Sign me up, absolutely,' he said. 'But Canada's role in the world is to be able to talk to people the Americans can't talk to and to go places where the US can't.."

and then report everything back to Washington or Tel Aviv. The brownnosing of these disgusting Zionists grows ever more odious..

Israeli Culture Similar to Fanatical Islam, says Israeli Author

http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/06/28/223264.html

"Israel qualifies as the 'most racist state' in the developed world, Israeli author Sami Michael said this week, in comments which drew parallels between Israeli culture and fanatical Islam. 'Israel can claim the title of most racist state in the developed world', Michael said at the opening of an international conference of the Association for Israel Studies at an Israeli university, according to a report in Haaretz newspaper.

'From kindergarten to old age we feed our children hatred, suspicion and disgust toward the stranger and the other, and especially toward the Arabs,' he said."

Legalize It! Israel Committee Defies UN, Backs Settlement Expansion

"Israel's outposts on the West Bank which have been condemned at illegal by the UN should be authorized, said an Israeli committee. The settlements are a constant source of conflict and have been repeatedly ruled as a violation of international law. The so-called 'outpost committee' appointed by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in January said that it recommends the legalization of the outposts on the basis that the territory was not occupied.

CIJA Meets with the PA in Ramallah

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs has offered to be 'the Canadian interlocutor' between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, (PA) to restart the peace process...The trip also served as an opportunity for CIJA to raise concerns with the PA about issues regarding incitement of hatred against Jews and Israelis that have become 'toxically' entrenched in both the Palestinian media and educational system, Fogel said. He said he and Koschitzky also asked PA represtentatives why they simply don't recognize Israel as a Jewish state...

The PA's responses were not 'entirely satisfying' he said...Fogel said in his opinion, there is no equivalence between incitement by some 'hard-line' individuals in Israel and a state-sponsored system of incitement by the PA.."

So Palestinians, stop with the kvetching about armed settlers, genocide and colonialism, recognize our right to murder you, steal your lands and deny you equal rights in Israel, over any Jewish immigrant from anywhere in the world, but stop with the anti-semitism immediately!

For What? by Richard Falk

http://richardfalk.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/for-what/

"...I find it particularly satisfying the extent to which my two reports each year on the Israeli occupation of Palestine provide a truthful witness to the unspeakable ordeal of this prolonged and harsh occupation. Actually, it is less and less an occupation and more and more an apartheid style form of annexation, aggravated by continuous land grabs, various instruments of ethnic cleansing, and a range of gratuitous cruelties most recently dramatized by a series of heroic hunger strikes by Palestinians protesting those aspects of their plight resulting from violent arrest procedures, administrative detentions, and deplorable prison conditions falling far below accepted international standards.."
