After 30 years of Israel’s illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza territories, Israel effectively controls the US media’s coverage of its Palestinian oppression. Yes, Palestinians have never managed to build a functioning economy. Yes, they continue to hurl rockets clumsily at Israeli towns in frustration. No, Israel has never given them an opportunity to become anything but demoralized, impoverished, angry protestors. How can you build a viable state when you have no contiguous land? They’ve got nothing but tiny pockets of land they’re allowed to live on, surrounded by barbed wire, checkpoints and continual military occupation. Land for peace? Never actually happened. It was These tactics are in stark opposition to the Jewish religion, or any religion frankly, and have come to be known as Zionism…the ruthless pursuit of Israeli domination of the middle east, through any means necessary. I’m done not paying attention. The latest Gaza massacre finally broke through the haze of indiffernce we Americans so carefully wrap our consciences in, and the media whitewashing so carefully crafted by Israeli media lobbyists. Don’t think they exist…think again. Why don’t we ever hear the phrase “occupied territory” in the news? They’d have us believe that those lands BELONG rightfully to Israel and that the Palestinians are ungrateful thugs who can’t be happy with the benevolent rule of the IDF. What a load of crap. The UN has always considered Israel’s capture of the West Bank and Gaza an illegal occupation, and still does. Why don’t we in America hear it described that way? For thoughts on that, check out this documentary: Hidden Truth about Israeli Control of American Media

At any rate, Jewish and Muslim groups all over Europe, the US and the UK are banding together to call for a boycott of those companies who do business with the Zionist controllers of the state of Israel. It’s an effort much like the anti-apartheid movement for South Africa. I can only hope that Israel’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni can survive the inevitable death threats and be allowed to lead Israel away from the ultimately self-defeating policies of a far-right, hawkish Zionist government. A significant percentage of Israelis would like her to as well.

Check the following out and read about it yourself. No more wanton murder and intimidation of Palestine please. I can’t take it anymore.

Israel FM: ‘Give land for peace’

Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister who is hoping to become the country’s next prime minister, has said that Israel must give up considerable territory to gain peace with the Palestinians.

Livni made the comments at a convention of US Jewish leaders in Jerusalem on Monday.

She said that Israel needed to “give up parts of the Land of Israel” - referring to biblical borders that today includes Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

“The majority of Israelis understand that if Israel wants to remain an independent Jewish state, in the end the territory will have to be divided,” Livni, leader of the Kadima party, said.

Livni has in the past said that Israel must withdraw from Palestinian areas to continue as a Jewish state.

Her fresh comments are in contrast to the position of Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the right-wing Likud party and Livni’s main rival to become next prime minister.
