“I’ve been working for the past 40 years to create peace between Israelis and Palestinians. I must say that so far I have failed, but that does not deter me from continuing. In my lifetime, I would like to see an independent Palestine, at peace and harmony with Israel. But I am no longer a [...]

When our health care costs are completely out of control. Do you realize what health care spending is as a percentage of the GDP in Israel? 8 percent. You spend 8 percent of GDP on health care. And you’re a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18 percent of our GDP on health care. 10 percentage [...]

Right out of the gate – Romney spoke about Jerusalem as Israel’s capital … only it isn’t.  The right wing zealots in the Republican party and the Netanyahu-Lieberman coalition in Israel would LOVE to kick out even more countless thousands of Palestinians out of their homes in East Jerusalem in order to make it “a [...]

Pretty brutal writing by Haaretz – one of the more popular newspapers in Israel. Haaretz writes HERE: Much has been written about the warm personal relationship between the two friends, ex-governor Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel.  Today it has [...]

This gives you a nice visual of how separate and unequal the laws of Israel are.  Bottom line – Israel is currently an occupying force in a country that is not theirs.  They will not engage in an honest negotiation to find peace and secure a 2 state solution.  And we fund this martial law [...]

  “The Green Line is dead and buried, and the Left can kiss it goodbye … Jewish life in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem is growing and flourishing, and there is no human power on earth that is going to uproot or move hundreds of thousands of Jews from places such as Ariel, Tekoa or [...]

I’ll tell you this – I’m very disenchanted with Israel.  And I do “know to much”.  Unfortunately … even in America – if you criticize Israel’s actions some have a knee-jerk reaction and call you antisemitic.  This is not unlike right before the Iraq war when those people willing to challenge invading Iraq were labeled [...]

Just think about what the guy is saying with his sign.  How would you respond if that were your life?  I’d retaliate…I wouldn’t feel like I had anything to live for and thusly – I would have nothing to lose.  Would you? If you weren’t sure whether or not Israel was an Apartheid state – [...]
