Someone had the courage to stand up to Netanyahu...

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/heckler-yells-stop-israeli-war-crimes-during-netanyahu-s-speech-to-congress-1.363856

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday was disrupted by a left-wing protester calling to stop the Israeli occupation in Palestine.

The heckler was identified as Rae Abileah, a 28-year-old Jewish-American activist, of Israeli decent, who works with human rights organization CODEPINK."

I am wondering what they have done in their life to deserve to meet the Obama's...

Committed war crimes? Nah!  Climbed the ladder or were born with a silver spoon in their mouth - likely.  Photogenic?  Definiitely.  That's why the UK needs the Royals.

Life is really unfair... :)

Anything that can go wrong, already has gone...umm, wronger?

His Excellency!

Bibi and the Yo-Yos

By URI AVNERY

It was all rather disgusting.

There they were, the members of the highest legislative bodies of the world’s only superpower, flying up and down like so many yo-yos, applauding wildly, every few minutes or seconds, the most outrageous lies and distortions of Binyamin Netanyahu.

It was worse than the Syrian parliament during a speech by Bashar Assad, where anyone not applauding could find himself in prison. Or Stalin’s Supreme Soviet, when showing less than sufficient respect could have meant death.

What the American Senators and Congressmen feared was a fate worse than death. Anyone remaining seated or not applauding wildly enough could have been caught on camera – and that amounts to political suicide. It was enough for one single congressman to rise and applaud, and all the others had to follow suit. Who would dare not to?

Inflame or inform and encourage mature discussion or express disinterst in human rights abuses, history well documented, rational i.e. fact based and referenced logical discussion of a major world issue?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Possibly the most sick inducing thread ever...Israeli leaders, Obama and the Royals...now if there were some just God who could erase them from the planet...

Who was the politician ...Pat Buchanan I think... that described Congress as Israeli occupied territory? And he wasnt joking - Netanyahu was just preaching to the converted

But comparing one warmongering leader to another is a bit pointless

On Pat Buchanan...

Buchanan called for closing the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, which prosecuted Nazi war criminals, because it was "running down 70-year-old camp guards." (New York Times, 4/21/87) 

Buchanan, shortly before he announced he was running for president in 1995: "You just wait until 1996, then you'll see a real right-wing tyrant." (The Nation, 6/26/95) 

In his September 1993 speech to the Christian Coalition, Buchanan declared: "Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free." (ADL Report, 1994) 

Trying to justify apartheid in South Africa, he denounced the notion that "white rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this." (syndicated column, 2/7/90) He referred admiringly to the apartheid regime as the "Boer Republic": "Why are Americans collaborating in a U.N. conspiracy to ruin her with sanctions?" (syndicated column, 9/17/89) 

if you ever go to israel and watch a bomb explode try to analyze that 

mature discussion from a very limited point of view of extremists and actually 

i now realize that yes that handsome guy from Geneva who called me a racist

was kind of right in pointing out that ALL extremists are as we say in yiddish 

meshugane

so far i can think of a long list of people i would rather see removed

amongst them the president of syria Asad who shoots at people attending

funerals and mosques

and the world is silent
