   I’ve been saying it for awhile; they are creating their own next holocaust and there won’t be anybody to blame but themselves.

   Just as this country has let hubris and hypocrisy ruin it’s potential for human rights.

   There is a reason to hope.

   The idiots don’t understand the new terms yet.
   It will take a while for the former power players to understand this. It’s a last ditch desperate attempt to hang on to the delusion. They are panicked and entrenching themselves. It’s an expected response.

   Did you know that 50% of Egyptians are of Palestinian extraction?

   The Gaza Tunnels are being paved with 4 lane highways. They are driving tanks through them as we type.

   Obama tried to force Lebanon’s Hariri to stand by UN tribunal that was predetermined to blame Hizballah, Haririr did, and he’s not PM anymore. (cries tears). Hezballah is still in the government.

   The natural gas line from Egypt to Israel was blown up and is expected to be turned back on Feb 17. (My money is on this line having a real problem delivering fuel from now on)

   Republicants have to cut the budget. It would have been suicide for a Democrat to say what Rand Paul did about cutting foreign aid, even to Israel. Ron Paul repeated it at CPAC.

   There is a new reality, and they don’t get to dictate it. They have lost the mandate of heaven and terms will be imposed by the people. Meanwhile, zionist lobbists fingers in ears, shouting la la la.. I cant hear you.. isn’t cause for alarm.

   Be happy :) We know the UN Sec Council or the Quartet or the US aren’t ever going to do anything to help these people. Their brothers will.

   There’s not going to be another holocaust. There is going to be an end to the government in one form or another. There might be a war because they are totally inflexible, and their very vocal support for Egypt’s brutal dictator has made them more enemies. Even the neocons have been telling them to shut up but they can’t help themselves.

   How can we check the number of flights/full seats leaving Israel?

   From The Only Democracy (a tongue in cheek name for a site disputing Israeli democracy): yes, the ethnic cleansing is continuing.

   February 11, 2011 Sheikh Jarrah

   It took the Planning Committee of the Jerusalem City Council less than fifteen minutes to approve plans for the next wave of evictions in Sheikh Jarrah. We knew it was coming. Six large Palestinian families—some fifty souls– are to be expelled from their homes, the houses will be demolished, and thirteen apartment units will then be built for Israeli settlers. We know the families, we know the neighborhood, and we know the meaning and intention of this move, a further step in the ethnic cleansing the government is intent on carrying through in Sheikh Jarrah. They probably feel that this moment, with all eyes focused on Egypt, is a good time to act. Some 90,000 housing units for Jews have been built in Jerusalem on private Palestinian land, taken over for this purpose. More are coming.

   A small group of activists stood in protest outside the City Council office during the meeting on Monday. The police arrested four of them and, as is their wont, asked the court to prohibit them from participating in demonstrations for 180 days. In the eyes of the Jerusalem police, non-violent civil protest is a disease to be extirpated. The judge threw out the request and scolded the police for the illegal arrests. Here is a small vignette that tells you all you really need to know about the state of civil liberties in Israel today. We are slipping rapidly into a form of “light” Fascism, entirely palatable to the bulk of the Jewish population; democratic institutions such as the courts are still functioning and sometimes act to protect basic rights, but they have little or no power in the face of the anti-democratic laws the Knesset is enacting or of the administrative decisions, of a racist and fanatically nationalist character, that government bodies, such as the Jerusalem municipality, routinely put into effect. “Light” Fascism has a way of turning into its heavier counterpart. We are losing ground day by day.

   Came in an email. I’ll try to link the site momentarily.

   It is truly pathetic and exceptional. The Palestinian people have been fighting for freedom and self-determination in their own country for over 40 years, but no one listened. Egypt just want a democracy as they had a country, and everyone listened.

   Call it censorship or bias or whatever, I suspect that most Americans don’t know the truth, the truth about the plight of the Palestinians, who die every week, who have their homes bulldozed every week, who have their farm lands and orchards destroyed every week, or have their water turned off, every week. With the help of the US State Department, Israel has turned these victims into aggressors, and themselves into victims, of what? Terrorism. Sad.

   Disagree; Dimona is too attractive a target and they ,apparently, haven’t learned anything from the Berlin Wall.
