Israel Caught Red-Handed in False Flag Operation- MSM Largely Ignores It

This is really unbelievable. This is just an excerpt, but please go read the whole article over at Foreign Policy:: Buried deep in the archives of America’s intelligence services are a series of memos, written during the last years of President George W. Bush’s administration, that describe how Israeli Mossad officers recruited operatives belonging to […]

Israel’s Claim That Terrorist Attacks Came From Gaza Called Into Question

I’ll admit to feeling sort of vindicated by this story in the independent Israeli mag +972 after being verbally taken to the woodshed by a liberal American Rabbi on Twitter yesterday who felt the need to school me about how Hamas was responsible for the terror attacks in Southern Israel last week. All I was […]

Egyptian #FlagMan Climbs Up Israeli Embassy and Removes Israeli Flag

Egyptians are pissed. After the IDF crossed the Egyptian border killing several Egyptian security forces the other day, Egyptians are demanding justice. They congregated outside the Israeli embassy by the thousands- something that would have been unheard of under Mubarak- and demanded that the Israeli Ambassador leave (he did). An Egyptian man, now being referred […]

Gaza: And So It Begins

It really began yesterday with a massive Israeli air assault but it has continued throughout the day and night today. The tragic murder of eight Israelis has brought out the full force of the Israeli military. While it goes without saying that Israel has a right to defend itself, this seems less like self defense […]

Israel Doesn’t Seem to Know Who is Responsible for the Terrorist Attack

But despite this, Gaza is being pummeled. from The Real News Network: From War in Context: The Kalashnikov is the most widely available weapon on the planet. According to Jane’s Infantry Weapons 2009/2010 this rifle is in use in over 70 countries. An estimated 20% of all firearms available worldwide are of the Kalashnikov family. […]

Call Senator Leahy to Thank Him for Taking a Stand on the IDF’s Human Rights Abuses

Finally, someone in Congress who is willing to take a stand: U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy is promoting a bill to suspend U.S. assistance to three elite Israel Defense Forces units, alleging they are involved in human rights violations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Leahy, a Democrat and senior member of the U.S. Senate, […]

A Nice Double Standard: How Israel Responds to Nonviolent Protest

Hundreds of thousands of Jewish Israelis have taken to the streets in recent weeks, demanding economic justice. It’s a truly inspiring scene in Tel Aviv and elsewhere. In response, the police have acted with restraint, even in a few instances where things got a little out of hand. What will happen if the Palestinians peacefully […]

IDF Harasses Palestinian American

A Palestinian American and a friend who were trying to attend a peaceful protest against the Israel Occupation in Nabi Saleh, was preventing from doing so by IDF soldiers who detained them prior to entering the village for no reason, took their phones and hacked their twitter account and sent out tweets pretending to be […]

Video: Palestinian Youths in E. Jerusalem Abducted by IDF While Playing Soccer

I’m sorry, but this is not how a democracy acts: Some are saying they might have been abducted on suspicion of throwing stones. Or not. Not that it matters. Once a Palestinian is accused of stone-throwing they usually end up in jail even if they are not guilty and even if they are as young […]

The State Dept. Has to Speak Out About This NOW: Israel Taking Unilateral Action to Prevent Contiguous Palestinian State

We hear a lot in the media, from our government and from commentators about how the Palestinians are undermining the peace process by taking “unilateral” action by going to the United Nations in an attempt to have a Palestinian state recognized by the international body. Both Secretary Clinton and President Obama have repeatedly denounced the […]

Some Rare Good News: Unprecedented Security Cooperation Between Palestinian Authority and Israeli Defense Forces

When we briefly put aside all the rhetoric, propaganda and finger pointing on both sides, there have definitely been improvements in the relationship between the Palestinian Authority and Israel. One thing that helped improve the relationship was the death of Yasser Arafat, who continued to play both sides- he said publicly what people in the […]

FoPo Link Dump: Or News the MSM is Ignoring

I’ve run across a few stories over the last few days that I’ve noticed have received very little coverage in the U.S. mainstream media. Here they are: ~Violence against Palestinians by Settlers is up 152% while violence against Israelis via terrorist attacks [by Palestinians] is down 96%. That number does NOT include the increasing violence […]

Official IDF Website Says Alice Walker Poses Grave Threat to Israel

Ok, not just Alice Walker, but they are particularly focused on the big names who signed up to sail to Gaza. Somebody really needs to help these guys with their propaganda. This is a screenshot of the IDF webpage: Now, I don’t know about you, but even if I totally disagreed with the methods used […]

Greek Commandos Prevent US Boat to Gaza from Leaving Greece

Apparently Greece has caved to Israeli and U.S. pressure and will not be allowing the Flotilla to leave Greece. One of the activists on board the Audacity of Hope just tweeted that the Greek Coast Guard has taken over the ship and it’s been impounded. I am so disgusted. Here is a photo from earlier […]

Israel Actually Has an Underwater Sabotage Team

I kid you not. Part of their elite Navy Commando unit includes the underwater sabotage division known as Yaltam, part of the Sheyetet-13, which was involved in last year’s tragedy on board the Mavi Marmara. Max Blumenthal has more here.

Former Israeli Air Force Pilot on Flotilla Responds to Israeli Propaganda

This is an interesting interview by Democracy Now, which is one of the few media outlets providing the other side of the story. Of course, Democracy Now isn’t part of the MSM. Today, Bibi Netanyahu came up with some clever new names for the Flotilla, while making totally un-subtantiated charged against the Flotilla participants. Yesterday […]

Max Blumenthal Does What the MSM Won’t…Actual Investigating

Last year Max Blumenthal (yes, son of Sydney) was the one who knocked down and exposed most of the Israeli governments’ ridiculous propaganda. This year, the Flotilla hasn’t even set sail yet (and it’s increasingly looking like it may not, unfortunately) and already Israel has two major PR blunders, both of which I already wrote […]
