Obviously, the people who recognize the existence of that scandal must be anti-Hispanic bigots.
Angry about Israel's actions? Here's a list of companies that do business with Israel, and here is a primer on divestment.
"Emotional blackmail": Israeli Speaker of the Knesset Avrum Burg tells Time magazine, vis-a-vis Yad Vashem...
It's an emotional blackmail that says to people, this is what we have experienced, so shut up and help us...Why is that any non-Jew who makes such a statement is automatically denounced as an anti-Semite?
These words also carry wisdom:
Look where we were 100 years ago and look where we are today — no other people made this transformation. Imagine we did not keep the shadow of the trauma looming over ourselves daily, what could we have been? How come 25% of the Nobel laureates in certain fields are of Jewish origins, and 10% of the arms deals around the world are done by Israelis? Why is my brother or sister in America a great poet or composer or physician whose achievements raise up all of humanity, and I who live here on my sword became a world expert on arms and swords? Is that really my mission, or is that an outcome of the black water with which I water my flowers? To make our contribution to humanity, we have to free ourselves of the obsession with the trauma.Al Franken will be the new Senator from MN. The good news is that he is preventing the corrupt Coleman from continuing. The bad news is that an election this close will always seem illegitimate to members of the losing party.
Poppy Bush says that he would love to see Jeb become president one day -- but not right now, "because we've had enough Bushes in there." I've spent the past few minutes trying to think of some way to turn that into a dirty joke, only to realize that the comment is funny enough as it stands.
On Ebay, you can buy a pita which miraculously bears the face of Jesus. As one wag has noted, this is a case of robbing pita to PayPal.

What did Jesus look like? I doubt that the pita looks like a Jew, and I'm almost certain the face resembles an Italian.
what bother me about Jews is that no matter what country they live in they still identify themselves as Jews. Their assimilation with other ethnicities seemed to be so superficial. When ever any jewish person accomplishes something he/she is a jew not American. English or Russian. The fact that they live in the most racist country and still it is identified as a democratic state is a stark testement to their influance.
One company worth mentioning that's omitted from that list is Caterpillar. They make the bulldozers that demolish Arab houses in Palestine. They also make equipment used in building the apartheid wall.
There is currently a massive Zionist PR effort to distract attention from Israeli aggression in Gaza. Haaretz reports that the Israeli Foreign Minister has instructed ministry officials currently on vacation in Israel to return immediately to their posts abroad, and to start local PR campaigns, focusing on both directly on the media and on public officials.
Here's an example of the "product"...
Today the BBC gave radio airspace to the Zionist Community Security Trust , whose spokesperson said that in the past week there has been a big rise in "anti-Semitic incidents" and that most of them were "related to Gaza".
The programme makers didn't even bother to get the police to take part. They cops do actually monitor ethnically-motivated and ethnically-aggravated assaults and other crimes. But never mind about them. Either the BBC asked them to participate, and they declined. But why might that be? Or, of course, they may not have approached the police in the first place.
The CST describe themselves as being at their "second highest level of alert".
I wouldn't be surprised if this sort of story has got a lot of legs...and not just in the UK...
The message being to amalgamate anti-Semitism with criticism of Israeli state crimes in Gaza.
Lastly: one event that's not being reported widely at all in the west is the American use of the veto against a motion at the United Nations Security Council calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. They used the veto on 3 January 2009.
The reason the US spokesperson gave was that such a resolution would be useless because "Hamas" wouldn't abide by it! I'm not kidding!

Joseph, I applaud you for writing about the aggression of the Israeli government - not of the Jews, as some seem to believe, but of the Israeli government.
Israeli forces are now firing white phosphorus shells into the densely populated Gaza Strip:
'The Geneva Treaty of 1980 stipulates that white phosphorus should not be used as a weapon of war in civilian areas, but there is no blanket ban under international law on its use as a smokescreen or for illumination. However, Charles Heyman, a military expert and former major in the British Army, said: “If white phosphorus was deliberately fired at a crowd of people someone would end up in The Hague. White phosphorus is also a terror weapon. The descending blobs of phosphorus will burn when in contact with skin.” '

Re: Richardson.
He's back with us in NM. No, I'm not amused!!
Thanks for posting that information on divestment from Israel. I have long, long been sickened and repulsed by Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and this latest move fills me with despair. It's good to be able to know how to take action.
Short memories today.
"What did Jesus look like? I doubt that the pita looks like a Jew"
If Jesus was Jewish, why the Spanish name ???
“If white phosphorus was deliberately fired at a crowd of people someone would end up in The Hague."
Would that that were so! But that wouldn't happen if they were acting for America or Israel...and maybe not even if they weren't...
White phoshorus has been used as an anti-personnel weapon by the Americans in Iraq, and also in Iraqi Kurdistan by Saddam Hussein. The American armed forces initially denied using it, but then said they only fired it at "insurgents". It has also been used by Zionist forces against Arabs in the Lebanon - and by the American army in Vietnam.
Watch for 'news' reports that pull the usual trick of obscuring the issue by using technical terms that viewers and readers are supposed to adopt submissively instead of making healthy generalisations that go a little better to the point. White phosphorus is essentially nothing new. Used against people, it's a chemical weapon, even if it hasn't officially been classified as such by the Chemical Weapons Convention.
This idea that the Zionist entity is in such grave danger that everything it does against subhuman enemies is justified...just how much longer is this crap going to have any mileage? Some of the Jewish people I've encountered who come out with such a line on the internet are, by standards any decent person would apply, rabid pro-murder pro-terrorist crazies consumed by Nazi-style racist hatred.
But at least the old argument about how Israel compares with South Africa is now settled. The apartheid regime in South Africa didn't attack bantustans and townships with tanks, air strikes, etc. etc.
Lastly, Joe - you talk about letting the Israeli regime "swim" - i.e. presumably America letting them do this. But they are more tooled up than even Barghouti recognises in that piece. Israel doesn't depend on some reversible decision by independent America to support them.
According to Martin van Creveld, the Israeli military strategic theorist who is required reading in the US officer corps, "most European capitals are targets for our air force [...] We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under."
Mordechai Vanunu has said the warheads are targeted at American cities as well as ones in Europe.
Van Creveld has also called Israel the "second or third" strongest military power in the world.
But it's stronger than even that scary statement implies. After all, it's an Israeli security firm (Magal) that provides the security at American nuclear weapons and nuclear power installations. No American firm does the same in Israel. American money does not have the same influence in Israeli politics as pro-Israeli Jewish money does in America. And so on.
Somebody - from memory, I think it was Van Creveld - said that the only country that could take on Israel militarily was America. But he was wrong - they couldn't! (Of course it would all depend on what their respective objectives were, but assume a reasonable amount of military common sense on both sides).
After the 2005 terror attacks in London, Ephraim Halevy called for a world war, and for major cultural changes in accordance with that. Sadly this looks like how it's going to be.
In these terrible times, can someone tell me what might realisticaly make more headway than a diffuse but global rise in small acts of resistance against Zionist forces and companies etc., wherein any violence, if employed, is of course directed against property only?
It's all right advocating divestment. But I don't own any shares in companies that trade with Israel. I don't own any shares in any companies! But like most people I do spot Caterpillar vehicles all over the place...
One British-based firm that should be mentioned is Marks and Spencer, which has the support of the Zionist regime as one of its principal objectives.
