Israel Has Fewer Friends Than Ever, Even In America

By Rod Nordland -- NEWSWEEK

Jan. 24, 2009

Israel has never been more isolated. Its best friend, the United States, had vetoed 41 Security Council resolutions condemning Israel in the past three decades, but was about to vote for the Jan. 8 resolution denouncing the attack on Gaza when President Bush intervened, at the behest of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Still, in the face of unprecedented global criticism, the U.S. didn't dare veto, but merely abstained... .

But give World Jewry a few months and they will neutralize the negative publicity their latest ethnic cleansing foray into Palestine has engendered.

Why, they will come up with another heart rending "undiscovered" sob story from the European Holocaust.

Or Sacha Baron Cohen will make another film mocking a non-Jewish ethnic group that sets naïve Americans rolling in the floor with laughter.

Or Jewishness will be glorified in another popular television sitcom, film or comedy routine that gets rave reviews in New York and Hollywood.  We Americans will soon forget about the grim-faced, grimy, angry,  and ever so "non-Western" Palestinian men, women, and children that were murdered by Jews as 2009 began.  The Arabs are mere statistics, while Jews are our doctors and dentists and attorneys and beloved entertainers.

We'll forget and forgive again and reward Israel with another generation of high tech killing machinery for their next genocidal mission in the land they stole from Palestinians in 1948.

It's gone on for 60 years now, folks.  How much longer can Americans be wholly blind to what is fair and just?

Don't let the screen door hit your butt as you leave Washington January 20, George.

You are the most incompetent, ignorant, stupid, embarrassing, and clueless person to ever occupy the U.S. presidency.

You are disrespected and despised by larger segments of humankind than any American president in history.

You have done more harm to our nation--to her moral standing in the family of man--to her economic vitality--and to her environmental viability--than any man ever to occupy the White House.
 
Our nation has been through a very dark night of the soul for eight miserable and painful years because of you.
 
We all pray that the miasmic passage is over--that a new and brighter chapter will ensue when Barack Hussein Obama is sworn into the office you have disgraced for almost a decade.
 
Do all Americans a favor, George W. Bush:  Slip into unheralded obscurity as soon as possible.
 
You are no Bill Clinton and no Jimmy Carter.  You have nothing further to offer the world or your nation.
 
We've all seen enough of your halting, non-sensical, telepromptered news conferences and interminable "farewell" statements to last the remainder of our lives.
 
Go cut brush on your ranch.
 
Attend barbecues with Texas oil barons and cattlemen.  They are about the only people left on earth that still approve of you.
 
Ride your bicycle.
 
Organize your, no doubt falsified, memoirs at Southern Methodist University.

All we need from you now is for you to disappear so we may begin to try to forget you.
 
The debacle that your failed presidency became began with Republican persecution of Bill Clinton.  The supreme court probably would not have dared usurp the constitution and appoint you president on that dark and fateful December day in 2000 had there not been a strong reservoir of hatred for Clinton and all things Democratic at the time.  The press and the Republican National Committee had paved the way for the disaster your presidency became.
 
As I watched you attempt to shift all responsibility to others, to forces of history, etc. in your tiresome farewell comments, you reminded me of a little rich boy whose daddy had always extricated him from every scrape with the law or with convention.  You have been able to wiggle out of responsibility for and justify lackluster and abortive actions all of your life and you carried this over into the presidency of the United States.
 
I was particularly shocked when, in your last interviews, you offered repeatedly that you regretted no WMD's were found in Iraq.  You did not say you were sorry you lied a nation into an unjustified war by your manipulation of the truth about Saddam Hussein's alleged WMD's.  You did not express regret that over 100,000 Iraqis were murdered in the unjustified war you perpetrated on Iraq with the WMD ruse.  You said only that you are regretful no WMD's were found. 

You have no moral compass.  You don't know right from wrong.  You only know political expediency and manipulation of assets and truths to further the cause of your national and international constituency of wealth and privilege.
 
You are a pathetic man at this juncture, George W. Bush, but we must never forget that you were the titular head of an administration that murdered over 100,000 men, women, and children in Iraq for no reason at all, while also sending over 4,000 American servicepersons to their deaths in a war that lacked justification. 

You, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld should face an international war crimes tribunal for your arrogant disregard of human decency and your crimes against humanity during the last eight years.

Few speak out for Palestinians in US Congress

By Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Many voices around the world speak up for the Palestinians, but few in the US Congress... .

_________________________________________

Indeed.

Few Americans in or out of Congress dare to defend the Palestinian cause because they cower before the Zionist lobby that maintains a stranglehold on American culture through the financial, newsgathering, and entertainment sectors, as well as the "Exodus" mythology.

This is wrong--very wrong.  In time, Americans will pay for their blindness re: Zionism and Jews, as they are now paying for their blindness re: George W. Bush and his feigned "war or terror" hatched in 2003.

In the interim, Palestinians please know that this American, D. Grant Haynes, is in your corner without reservation. 

Your cause is just. 

You have been dealt a rotten hand since the inception of Israel in 1948.
