  • CBS 60 Minutes Exposing Israeli Apartheid – 1

    Over the next few days, we will post as much data and videos from credible sources to help provide our viewers, listeners, readers and visitors a fuller appreciation of why American foreign policy is such a sorry state of affairs. As early as tomorrow, the UN Security Council will vote for a fourth round of sanctions against the Iranian government for not fully complying with the requirements of the NPT. The Iranians to date have frustrated and most recently out maneuvered the West’s efforts to bring them in line via (in your face)  strategic alliances with regional ally Turkey and UN Security member Brazil.

    While most observers anticipate the US getting the face saving sanctions vote to go their way, said sanctions have been so watered down, they will unlikely do little if anything to change the full throttled direction of Iran’s internal nuclear ambitions. And as long as the Iranians have the Gaza blockade and the Israeli-Palestinian-Arab conflict cards to play, they will be able to operate from the moral high ground. Until the United States find a way to create a sliver of separation from the draconian policies of the Israeli government, America’s credibility as an impartial broker will remain the region’s biggest joke.

  • Issues Under Fire : Life in Gaza ain’t no day at the beach

    Jun 8th 2010

    The situation in Gaza has surpassed a state of desperation and this is what has led many around the globe to question the United States’ role in the continued degradation of one group by another. As the world watches in horror, our President who as elected as a man of tomorrow is increasingly appearing like Presidents of America’s past. Year after year pass with little progress other than lip service that is intended to go nowhere. Somehow, we the people are expected  to suspend our common sense, disbelieve our eyes and blindly accept a version of two military powerhouses as they carve up the lives of innocent women and children in order to achieve their predetermined goals.

    Over the top outburst like that of legendary White House press correspondent Helen Thomas, in many ways can be attributed to a growing frustration at seeing a group of people being mercilessly punished for having the backbone to resist its foes. The message we are witnessing from America and the Israeli government is clear; resistance of any kind, from anybody will not be tolerated. Freedom of speech, freedom of movement and even the freedom to think independent thoughts are met with beatings, homes demolished and more often than not, even death.

    Many to date, have stood by in silence for fear of being tagged with that dreaded accusation of being anti Semitic. To simply look at an injustice and formulate an opinion to be stated publicly, that does not speak glowingly of the Israeli government is to be automatically branded a hater of the Jewish people. Should anyone make the mistake of showing the slightest compassion for the Palestinian cause or empathy toward their plight is to be siding with terrorist.

    The problem with the way the US and Israelis have stated their positions and plotted their strategy,  it  seems to leave no room for dissent or disagreement.  Are we to accept the fact that Israel is the only nation on earth that has the right to defend itself?  Are we to accept the notion that the brilliant minds in Washington DC and Tel Aviv know what is best for the world and the rest of us should simply cower to their every demand? While sadly we may have to accept this savagery is Israel’s view of humanity, we think it is patently un-American and disgusting for  our President to be a signatory to it.  One need not contemplate very long as to  how America or the Israeli government would react should another nation state began employing similar tactics to defend themselves against us and or our national interest.

    We think it safe to presume it would be a far more dangerous world, should all nations capable of exerting their rights to preemptive strikes, invasion and military occupations, collective punishment, targeted assassinations, unrestricted black bag operations, and black sites, were to do so. We think it wise to be mindful that the last time a couple of nations tried to strong-arm  the world, things didn’t turn out so well for them.

  • Israel, Occupation or Apartheid?

    Since the Obama administration is approaching this latest conflict between Israel and the world in the same flunky-like manner as previous US president’s have, we thought we’d offer alternative points of view that will surly be overlooked by the so called mainstream media. Take a moment to review this short intelligence report from Link TV to enhance your knowledge of what is being done and not done to alleviate the needless suffering of 1.5 million prisoners who have yet to be convicted of any crimes. We intend to keep this story alive until the man America sent to Washington to change the status quo, actually changes something. From our standpoint, American foreign policy as it relates to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is in need of a complete overhaul. The question we are confronted with now is, whether Barack Obama is strong enough for that task.

    If President Obama can’t or won’t develop and present a comprehensive and enforceable plan for peace in the Middle East, then the ongoing crisis in Gaza will be his Rwanda.

  • Chomsky on Gaza

    Chomsky on Gaza January 13 2009 Running Time 1:51:35

    Chomsky recites a litany of examples of Israeli and U.S. hypocrisy in action and policy around Israel’s claimed desire for peace. “Of course it wants peace, everyone wants peace. Hitler wanted peace, for example. The question is, on what terms.” Going back to the earliest days of the Zionist movement, it was clear that Israel wanted to delay a political settlement, “while building facts on the ground.” Says Chomsky, “Today Israel could have security, and normalization of relations and integration into the region, but it clearly prefers illegal expansion, conflict, repeated exercise of violence, to teach lessons to the ‘two-legged beasts,’ actions that are severely eroding its security even if it gains short-term military victory.” He concludes, “We’re observing a rare moment in history: politicide, the murder of a nation at our hands.”

    “the latest U.S.-Israeli attack on helpless Palestinians” a step beyond terrorism and aggression. He says “some new term is needed for the sadistic and cowardly torture of people caged with no possibility of escape, being pounded daily by the most sophisticated products of U.S. military technology.”

    “I’ve just reported the facts. You verify them – it’s not that hard.”

  • An Al Jazeera Video Update of the Gaza Blockade Clash

    Israel will have a difficult time living this latest incident down. The world is pissed and the global response could get uglier. After the 2006 leveling of Lebanon, the Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead, the Dubai hit team/multi nation passport scandal incident, the  continued settlement expansion, Israel’s decision not to participate in the nuclear arms free Middle-East conference in 2012  and now this highly volatile and violent clash with unarmed peace activist in international waters, this feeds the narrative of Israel being an out of control rogue state. With all these acts of aggression in the name of self defense, it is difficult to see why the world is not defending itself against Israel and the US. Should the Obama administration be seen as glossing over this incident, as it always has when Israel flagrantly disregards international law, the world’s anger could refocus on the United States as Israel’s primary coconspirator.

  • UN Statement on Israel’s Gaza Aid Ships Raid

    Jun 1st 2010

    By: Lee

    No comments


    The Security Council deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries resulting from the use of force during the Israeli military operation in international waters against the convoy sailing to Gaza. The Council, in this context, condemns those acts which resulted in the loss of at least ten civilians and many wounded, and expresses its condolences to their families.

    The Security Council requests the immediate release of the ships as well as the civilians held by Israel. The Council urges Israel to permit full consular access, to allow the countries concerned to retrieve their deceased and wounded immediately, and to ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance from the convoy to its destination.

    The Security Council takes note of the statement of the UN Secretary-General on the need to have a full investigation into the matter and it calls for a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation conforming to international standards.

    The Security Council stresses that the situation in Gaza is not sustainable. The Council re-emphasizes the importance of the full implementation of Resolutions 1850 and 1860. In that context, it reiterates its grave concern at the humanitarian situation in Gaza and stresses the need for sustained and regular flow of goods and people to Gaza as well as unimpeded provision and distribution of humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza.

    The Security Council underscores that the only viable solution to Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an agreement negotiated between the parties and re-emphasises that only a two-State solution, with an independent and viable Palestinian State living side by side in peace and security with Israel and its other neighbours, could bring peace to the region.

    The Security Council expresses support for the proximity talks and voices concern that this incident took place while the proximity talks are underway and urges the parties to act with restraint, avoiding any unilateral and provocative actions, and all international partners to promote an atmosphere of cooperation between the parties and throughout the region.

    We are keeping a keen eye on this story. We don’t have enough facts for a full podcast nor the copy yet, but we are working on it

    The Obama administration lacks bench strength. Perhaps the absence of other forceful, authoritative, high energy and personable players on his team is the cause for the constant need for the president to be the point man on every issue. Sure the buck stops with the guy in the oval office, but a quick glance at his cabinet, reveals a rather boring and uninspiring cast of characters. They may be intellectual hotshots during briefings and close door brainstorming sessions, but when needed to be the on the spot, go to guy/gal, nobody fits that bill. More on this issue later.
