Circumcised Marine Cavalry to Full Attack Alert!
Achtung...all members of Heroic Bloggers For the Liberation of Palestine!
Ready your keyboards!
Smooth the sweaty creases in your thin-rolled aluminum sheet armored helmets!
Go forth and smite thine enemy!

ONCE again an Israeli leader has confirmed that the White House is just another illegal Israeli settlement.
Keep in mind that the Goldstone Report and other human rights groups exposed that 40% of the West Bank had been illegally confiscated by radical Israeli settler quite a while back.
“Jewish settlers, who claim a divine right to the whole of Israel, now control more than 42 percent of the occupied West Bank, representing a powerful obstacle to the creation of a Palestinian state, a new report has revealed.
“The jurisdiction of some 200 settlements, illegal under international law, cover much more of the occupied Palestinian territory than previously thought. And a large section of the land has been seized from private Palestinian landowner in defiance even of an Israeli supreme court ruling, the report said, a finding which sits uncomfortably with Israeli claims that it builds only on state land.
“Drawing on official Israeli military maps and populations statistics, the leading Israeli human rights group, B’Tselem, complied the new findings, which were released just as the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, arrived in Washington to try to heal a gaping rift with US President Barack Obama over the issue of settlements.”

Exposed: The Truth About Israel’s Land Grab in the West Bank
As President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet, a report reveals 42 per cent of territory is controlled by settlers

“At the same time, Israel has built bypass roads, erected new checkpoints, and taken control of scarce water resources to the benefit of the settlers. The measures have effectively created Palestinian enclaves within the West Bank, the report said.”
"Enclaves" where people who live in one "enclave" must travel through a security point to get to another "enclave" in their own territory...
I guess Obama is no Eisenhower.
actually both are part of the clan of the self chosen.

Let's try not to report this the Marla Singer way this time, IDF forces with water guns containing red ink, little gold halos over their heads, and a cartoon thought bubble floating nearby "I'm protecting my Mommy!!!!!" Just the facts please
Neato comment Ted. Did you grow up under a tarp?
I grew up in a household where literacy was encouraged, and we could read our way through all of "The Goldstone Report".
May I ask what bred your ignorance???
Amazing the UN-loyalty that the Goldstone Report exposes.
If anyone similar to "caknucklehead" (is short for "California knucklehead"???) would like to swat their way past the fog of ignorance and let me slap the side of their head to take them out of their trance on the Palin/Netanyahu love fest, I would like to encourage you to read the Goldstone Report. It is written by Richard Goldstone. A Jew, (And Zionist, and I am not using Zionist in a derogatory way, only pointing the fact out a Zionist wrote the Goldstone Report) and a Governor/trustee of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, until he was smeared for having the gall to write and speak the TRUTH.
Here is a link to the over 500 page report on the crimes committed in Gaza.

As a rule I hold UN bodies in high disregard for their flagrant and flamboyant stupidity and ineffectiveness. Especially anything tainted with the term "human rights". They don't care a fig about human beings, how could they care about the rights of those same human beings? You may as well have quoted wikipedia.
As for the verity of the report, it may very well be true, or may very well be false, or may be half true (or half false, take your pick). One can't believe the UN any more than the CNN. I'm holding my breath for the report on muslim atrocities done to israelis. Unless of course you'd like to clear the fog on that one too.
I'm also waiting for the report on palestinians' penchant for infanticide. The UN wants to keep the focus on israeli aggression (and/or defense, depending on your view) and keep the focus off of palestinians training their four year olds to wear suicide belts and march into zion for allah.
A society that does such things to its own children is barbaric, and my sympathy is turned against it.
This childish devotion to the idea that one side is the lion and the other the lamb is ridiculous. Both sides serve each other with violence.
The real question is: who has the right to the holy land?
If you put your hands over your ears and yell "LA LA LA LA" you can't hear what other people are saying.
That's all you got? Yawn.
Stay alert for photos of Heavy Turkish Marine Royal Cavalry (HTMRC). Can be identified by number of humps.
How would you like to be the swabbie that has to clean up the landing craft (LCC?) after a load of those guys disembarked?
Whew!
The father of Rahm Emanuel, formerly an Israeli citizen who served in the Israeli military and who now serves in the Obama White House, said something to the “Ma’ariv” newspaper that expresses a similar superiority to members of other races. I quote:
“Obviously he [Rahm] will influence the president to be pro-Israel… Why wouldn’t he be [influential]? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to clean the floors of the White House.”
How can the Obama White House present a neutral position for Middle Eastern foreign policy in light of this perceived racial bias?
So that's why O has gone to bat for israel, and given the entire muslim world the finger. I guess all that curtsying to the muslims was a ruse.
Oops, didn't realize that "Edmon Plume" was a "newfag" troll. I will quit feeding him.
I don’t know why, but your what-have-you-done-for-me-lately comment reminded me of Ira Chernus’ Zionist Joke: What Have We Ever Done to Them? June 08, 2010. Says Chernus:
There’s one big difference I’ve noticed between the political Left and Right. Even in the worst of times, lefties have a sense of humor. So I wasn’t surprised to see the grand old man of the Israeli Left, Uri Avnery, sum up his government’s galling attack on the Gaza flotilla with an old Jewish joke. Avnery has been fighting his nation’s militarist policies for longer than most of us have been alive. But at 86, he can still blend outrage with humor.
In his response to the attack, he made it clear that he was furious because the violence was premeditated: “The orders given to the [Israeli] forces and made public included the three fateful words: ‘at any cost.’ Every soldier knows what these three terrible words mean.”
And he was furious about Israel’s claims of innocence: “We storm a foreign ship at sea, but turn at once into victims who have no choice but to defend ourselves against violent and incited anti-Semites.” The Israeli government is so detached from reality, Avnery wrote that “a psychiatrist might judge this to be the symptom of a severe mental problem.”
But he got to the heart of the matter with that joke. It’s the one about the Jewish mother in Russia taking leave of her son, who has been called up to serve the czar in the war against Turkey. “Don’t overexert yourself,” she implores him. “Kill a Turk and rest. Kill another Turk and rest again.”
“But mother,” the son interrupts, “what if the Turk kills me?”
“You?” exclaims the mother. “But why? What have you done to him?”
“Our government does not even rest,” Avnery concluded ruefully. “It seems that they will not stop until they have made enemies of the last of our friends.”
Try more cut and less paste.
i might be wrong (and this is not the first time if i might say so) but I dont want to be short gold, even if it is recommended by Goldman...
You might want to consider doing the opposite of what Goldman recommends, given the track record of their recommendations lately.
Slightly related...Missing Iranian scientist pops up in DC seeking assylum in the Pakistani Embassy asking to be returned to Iran. Guess we got caught snatching a scientist.
"
By NASSER KARIMI, Associated Press Writer Nasser Karimi, Associated Press Writer – 17 mins agoTEHRAN, Iran – A missing Iranian nuclear scientist, who Tehran claims was abducted by the U.S., has taken refuge at the Pakistani embassy in Washington and is asking to return to his homeland, Iran said Tuesday.
It was the latest development in a case that has been shrouded in mystery since the scientist, Shahram Amiri, disappeared while on a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia in June 2009."

That's going to sting. Ouch!
You'd think we'd be a little more careful about invading countries due to speculation of their weapons development programs based upon the statements of mystical unidentified "officials." But, I guess if it worked last time...
It was a proof of concept: he snuck in along the southern border, proving how easy it is for extremists to gain access to the interior of the country.
If anyone here suspects the USA and not Iran, mission accomplished. "Kidnappings" from Iran by the USA will increase over the next few years.
And in other news, Osama Bin Ladin was not captured and the FED has not been audited....??????
That's Osama bin Subcontractor. 911 Inside job. Remember the U.S. Navy ship Liberty.
We remember and will never forget.
What is Gaza in need of "aid" for, exactly? And how do dudes with knives and metal rods and random expired medication count as "aid"?
Awesome comment. Are you a Ayn Randian?
More like a healthy dose of Ayn Rand mixed in with some "V for Vendetta". Hmmm... I guess that would make one a Rand-y Guy Fawker, huh? Hahahahaha, I'm so clever.
They need 'aid' from solidarity organizations because Apartheid Israel, which you clearly support, keeps killing Palestinian babies while governments around the world applaud.
Don't you have a HUAC hearing to fink for?
Solidarity was a peaceful movement. What met the israelis when they boarded the first vessel was not peaceful. I guess the peaceful envoy were pounding the israeli inspectors with giant metal "straws" that were going to be used by the muslim babies to drink the cargo of infant formula.
“What met the israelis when they boarded the first vessel was not peaceful” ? Surely, you jest. Here is the unvarnished truth of what the Palestian people are facing.
Remote-Control Killing: The Spot-and-Shoot Game | CounterPunch | July 13, 2010 by Jonathan Cook
It is called Spot and Shoot. Operators sit in front of a TV monitor from which they can control the action with a PlayStation-style joystick.
The aim: to kill terrorists.
Played by: young women serving in the Israeli army.
Spot and Shoot, as it is called by the Israeli military, may look like a video game but the figures on the screen are real people -- Palestinians in Gaza -- who can be killed with the press of a button on the joystick.
The female soldiers, located far away in an operations room, are responsible for aiming and firing remote-controlled machine-guns mounted on watch-towers every few hundred metres along an electronic fence that surrounds Gaza.
The system is one of the latest “remote killing” devices developed by Israel’s Rafael armaments company, the former weapons research division of the Israeli army and now a separate governmental firm.
According to Giora Katz, Rafael’s vice-president, remote-controlled military hardware such as Spot and Shoot is the face of the future. He expects that within a decade at least a third of the machines used by the Israeli army to control land, air and sea will be unmanned. …
Rapid progress with the technology has raised alarm at the United Nations...that a “PlayStation mentality to killing” could quickly emerge.
According to analysts, however, Israel is unlikely to turn its back on hardware that it has been at the forefront of developing – using the occupied Palestinian territories, and especially Gaza, as testing laboratories. …
Audio sensors on the towers mean that the women hear the shot as it kills the target. …

So, you went to the trouble of quoting me, and then avoided the point that the israelis were attacked. At least that's what I think when a see an israeli inspector shinny down a rope, be grabbed by an armed mob, thrown to the ground and beaten with a steel rod. Surely, a devotee of antiwar.com thinks that it's bad manners to scoff at war in any of its forms, including beating another human being with an iron rod.
What now?
Your posts are frustrating because, in avoiding the truth, a civil discussion is almost impossible. Example: the flotilla incident became controversial worldwide--some with the Israeli viewpoint, some with the opposing viewpoint. Israel refused to have any third party investigation. In other words, Israel’s viewpoint of what happened will forever be unsubstantiated, similar to your claims, no matter how many doctored video tapes and lies about self defense and lies about ambushes, and whatever.
Without some type of validation of the truth, the discussion is pretty much over.
I hope you're not implying the Netanyahu government is a group of murdering liars. I know that couldn't be true because Marla Singer seemed to imply that the nine Turkish citizens and one American were not really killed. It was just a community theatre play enacted by IDF soldiers with water guns containing red ink. Just some fun.
Marla Singer seemed to imply ...
No she did not seem to imply anything of the sort.
The IDF will allow safe passage and the Zionists will say, see we told you how wonderful the state of Israel is and what a friendly neighbor to all people in the Middle East.
No they won't. Because they want to kill Palestinian babies and drink their blood.
Allowing baby formula and medicine into Gaza flies in the face of that objective.
Its more appropriate to say Israeli Pirates instead of saying Israeli Military....
well I guess if it failed the first time to win friends and influence people we'll just do it again to show how really stupid we are. Chutzpah in all it's glory. Congrats to Netty nut hoo. Milestones
These are the posts in which Chumbawumba's fervor will be dearly missed. Nothing does it quite like "Gold Bitches!" What's up with ZH today? Normally, any mention of Israel brings out the foaming at the mouth crowd, and such a thread would have already had 300 replies... only 24 so far. Hmmmmmmm...
By Jason Ditz: It is likely this is the closest the Israeli government will ever come to an investigation of the attack on the Mavi Marmara aid ship, a deadly raid which left nine aid workers dead and one of Israel’s closest allies, Turkey, demanding explanations.
But today an Israeli military panel charged with probing the attack (in a limited manner) faulted the Navy in general for failures to coordinate with Mossad on pre-attack intelligence regarding the civilian aid ship. It did not, however, name any names or asign specific blame.
It also declared that the commandos who boarded the ship and killed the aid workers could be “praised” and that the overall raid saw “no negligence or failures on any significant matters.”
The probe was a foregone conclusion, and it lacked any mandate to criticize the operation or aftermath in any serious way. The only reason for he probe in the first place was to quiet demands for an international probe, and even then it came with promises, before investigation even began, that it would vindicate the attack and the killings.
And it by and large has been successful, with the United States praising the Israeli probe in advance and dropping its calls for an international probe the minute Israel made it clear that would be unacceptable to them.

The Guardian on June 4, 2010:
“Nine Turkish men on board the Mavi Marmara were shot a total of 30 times and five were killed by gunshot wounds to the head, according to the vice-chairman of the Turkish council of forensic medicine.
“The results revealed that a 60-year-old man, Ibrahim Bilgen, was shot four times in the temple, chest, hip and back. A 19-year-old, named as Fulkan Dogan, who also has US citizenship, was shot five times from less that 45cm, in the face, in the back of the head, twice in the leg and once in the back. Two other men were shot four times, and five of the victims were shot either in the back of the head or in the back, said Yalcin Buyuk, vice-chairman of the council of forensic medicine. …
“’Given the very disturbing evidence which contradicts the line from the Israeli media and suggests that Israelis have been very selective in the way they have addressed this, there is now an overwhelming need for an international inquiry,’ said Andrew Slaughter MP, a member of the all party group on Britain and Palestine.”
