Has Bibi outstayed his welcome in the US and Europe? AFP By Jo Biddle 9 hours ago Washington (AFP) - "Anyone But Bibi." It's the rallying cry of opponents battling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tuesday's elections, but also seems to aptly sum up feelings in both the US and Europe. Related Stories 1.

Be proud, America! You have the very best Congress that money can buy. It’s no secret that many in the House and Senate have long been corrupted by money and special interests. The constant need to advertise on TV makes all politicians slaves of the money lenders and other big donors. The great Mark Twain called Congress “America’s only native criminal class.” Nothing much has changed. Members of Congress are held in even lower public esteem than murderers, lawyers and…journalists. It’s often cheaper to buy a legislator than a second-hand car. One of the biggest outrages has been the way Wall Street money lenders swindled the public and wiped out the ...
Netanyahu and Herzog Promise Business As Usual for Palestinians

Netanyahu and Herzog Promise Business As Usual for Palestinians by Stephen Lendman On March 17, Israelis votes in general elections. On March 12, Haaretz published its final poll numbers. It showed Isaac Herzog/Tzipi Livni's Zionist Union party winning 24 of 120 Knesset seats v. Netanyahu's Likud getting 21. Whichever leading party is able to form a majority coalition government gets to choose the next prime minister. Zionist Union's lead is no guarantee it'll be Herzog. Israeli governance is extremely hardline. Likud should have an easier time cobbling together coalition partners. At the same time, it's too early to pick winners and losers based on latest poll ...
Jon Stewart Labeled 'Most Disgusting Jew On The Planet' By Pamela Geller, US Activist Banned From Entering UK

NEW YORK -- An American far-right activist, who was banned from Britain 2013 after a personal intervention from Home Secretary Theresa May, has accused comedian Jon Stewart of being “the most disgusting Jew on the planet.” Writing for the conservative mouthpiece WorldNetDaily, Pamela Geller, who along with author Robert Spencer was barred from entering the UK two years ago to prevent the pair addressing and English Defence League rally in Woolwich, blamed "The Daily Show" host for the "absence of the good" in American culture. Of Stewart she wrote: "This vicious traitor, smug and self-righteous, has long been working for the other side under the guise of ...

Former diplomats and intellectuals came out against Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman Monday, a day after he called to decapitate Israeli Arabs who are "against us." "Whoever is with us should get everything," the Yisrael Beytenu chairman said in a speech at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya Sunday. "Whoever is against us, there's nothing else to do. We have to lift up an axe and remove his head, otherwise we won't survive here." According to Liberman, Israel acts like "fools, misers and weaklings," and "there is no place for such people in the Middle East." Liberman repeated his party's platform that Umm al-Fahm and the ...

Israeli Foreign Minister Wants Arab Citizens Beheaded by Stephen Lendman Anyone doubting racist lunatics run Israel take note of what ultranationalist/fascist/defrocked for criminality/reinstated Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman proposes. He wants anyone he considers disloyal to Israel as a Jewish state beheaded. Recall GW Bush's polarizing September 20, 2001 statement to a joint congressional session about "either (being) with us or against us." Ahead of next week's Israeli elections, Lieberman addressed the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center, saying: "Whoever is with us should get everything. Whoever is against us, there's noting else to do. We have to ...

Choice for Palestinians in Israeli Elections: None by Stephen Lendman On March 17, Israelis will choose among candidates from a dozen parties for 120 Knesset seats. Coalition governance will follow. No single party in Israeli history ever won a clear majority. Netanyahu's Likud and Isaac Herzog/Tzipi Livni's Zionist Union are virtually even in polls. One or the other will likely head new coalition governance when formed. Democracy is pure fantasy. So is an Israeli left. Fascists run things. Expect no change this time. Choice for Israeli Jews is much like for Americans - between death by hanging or firing squad. Arab Knesset members representing Israel's 20% Palestinian ...
Rage Against Netanyahu

Rage Against Netanyahu by Stephen Lendman Israelis most often are as out-of-touch with reality as Americans - sleepwalking through their daily lives instead of becoming activist to improve them. Saturday night was different - the exception proving the rule. Tens of thousands of Israelis rallied against Netanyahu's appalling leadership in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square under the banner "Israel Wants Change." The New York Times and Washington Post ignored it. The Wall Street Journal published a woefully short three-paragraph AP report. WaPo apparently thought a Palestinian injuring five Israelis was more important than a major anti- Netanyahu mass protest. A good idea was ...
Zionist Defense Minister, Moshe Yaalon: “The Armed Gangs on the Golan Heights Are Protecting Israel”

For the Zionist entity, the terrorist gangs of foreign mercenaries fighting in Syria can be the last barrier that prevents the Lebanese resistance to build a strong infrastructure to attack the settlements from the Syrian occupied Golan. This was said loudly by the Israeli Minister of war, Moshe Yaalon, which warned against Syrian efforts, and those of Iranian Hezbollah, to open the Golan front to launch attacks in the Palestinian occupied territories. Yaalon said that the killing of a group of Hezbollah fighters and an Iranian general is part of the “Israeli preventive measures to counter such attacks”. For the Zionist war minister, the only thing that protects and secures ...

History of poor relations fading as Israel and Russia focus on shared goals, needs JewishWorldReview.com | OSCOW — (TCSM) Russian President Vladimir Putin is in Israel today for a two-day visit that publicly emphasizes the dramatic reconciliation and galloping economic cooperation between Moscow and Jerusalem. Experts say that the geopolitical differences between Russia and Israel are not as deep as many people believe. With the exception of sharp disagreement over what to do about Iran's alleged drive for nuclear weapons, differences are greatly overshadowed by a growing array of commonalities. Topping that list is a shared sense that Russia and ...

(If you have trouble seeing it, note the following. First the picture on page one is also a video. You have to click on it after it loads which takes a few seconds. Then be sure the sound is on. There is an English sound track. AND finally there is a 20 second commercial with no English that precedes the great video itself – at least when I open it on my computer. I do not know how to skip it. These features are all familiar to us, but without the English it might be confusing.) Now let’s be serious. First, the Congress is completely humiliated, dancing to the tune of Netanyahu who is the representative of a foreign power. That humiliation extends to every American who cast a ...

Israeli Women Wage Peace by Stephen Lendman Anti-war women of the world unite. They're doing it in Israel. Thousands represent a refreshing antidote to Netanyahu's hate-mongering rage for war. Women Wage Peace (WWP) activists support a "viable" Israeli- Palestinian peace. They want working for it "place(d) at the top of the public agenda." They call peace the only solution "offer(ing) life and hope." With Israeli general elections days away, they urge a "new and different reality in the Middle East." They call it "feasible." Saying "we must strive for it." Inspired by the horrors of last summer's Gaza war, they ...
AMERICA MUST REJECT NETANYAHU’S WAR CRY ON IRAN

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to Washington this week to prepare the American people for war against Iran. Backed by American neoconservatives, the Israel lobby, and assorted other war hawks, Netanyahu insists that Iran intends to build a nuclear weapon and thus is an “existential threat” to Israel. He has no confidence that President Obama will negotiate an agreement that once and for all will end Iran’s alleged nuclear ambitions. Thus the prime minister’s objective is nothing less than to wreck the current negotiations and push America into a regime-changing war against Iran. Netanyahu’s narrative is a fabric of lies and omissions. To begin, ...

Netanyahu Postmortems by Stephen Lendman Honest analysts know his double-barreled Washington offensive fell flat - targeting AIPAC and Congress. His blustering Big Lies wore thin long ago. He repeated the same stuff he regurgitates in all his anti- Iranian/poor threatened israel rants. You have to be practically comatose not to have heard it ad nauseam. Or sublimely ignorant not to know Iran threatens no one. It's nuclear program is entirely legitimate - with no military component or intention to have one. Or that Israel is the region's only nuclear power - a dangerous one committed to use its arsenal of banned weapons if threatened. Analysts weighed in on Netanyahu's ...

Netanyahu's Ugly Israel by Stephen Lendman Israel is a rogue terror state by any standard. No amount of speechmaking changes reality. Fascist lunatics run things. They want supreme hegemonic regional control. They want all potential challengers eliminated. They're willing to wage genocidal wars to achieve objectives - including use of nuclear, chemical, biological and other banned weapons. Their Machiavellian extremism threatens world peace and stability. Netanyahu is the tip of the iceberg. Embedded fascist power runs Israel like America. Netanyahu came to Washington to convince Congress, the US public and his own population about a nonexistent Iranian threat. He knows Iran ...

Netanyahu’s Congressional Rant by Stephen Lendman He last addressed a joint congressional session on May 24, 2011. At the time, Haaretz writer Gideon Levy called it a rant "filled with lies on top of lies and illusions heaped on illusions." Netanyahu never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity to do the wrong thing. He praised Israel's nonexistent democracy. Critics denounced its business as usual policy. Its brutalizing occupation harshness. Wars against defenseless civilians at its discretion. Subjugating millions of Arabs ruthlessly for not being Jews. A previous article explained why Netanyahu chose now to address Congress - a combination of political ...

Support for the Israeli prime minister's hardline policies is fading among American Jews and Christians alike. Jewish resistance to Netanyahu’s invitation by Republicans to address Congress is showing cracks in the Israeli Lobby’s influence over Congress. The leading Jewish newspaper Forward reports, “the biggest casualties may be the normally omnipotent pro-Israel lobby and its allies in the Jewish community, who have seen their credibility and political power severely shaken.” CNN reports that 63 percent of American oppose the invitation. The Israeli Lobby represents less than half of American Jews. The real lobby today is an amalgam of mainly older Jews, ...

Netanyahu at AIPAC by Stephen Lendman His Monday bluster was a warmup for what honest observers call the most outrageous address ever by a foreign official to a joint congressional session - scheduled for Tuesday, March 3 at 11:00AM EST. Netanyahu spurned protocol. He circumvented administration control over who gets invited to address Congress. He's persona non grata at the White House. No welcome mat greeted him on arrival. Obama refused to see him. Nearly five dozen House and Senate members intend boycotting his address - showing unprecedented disapproval of a foreign leader visiting Washington. Voters should demand others explain why they intend showing up to support a ...

Obama won't meet the prime minister while he is in town, citing longstanding policy to avoid appearing to play favorites in foreign elections. In a preview of his speech to lawmakers, Netanyahu suggested that Obama did not — and could not— understand the extent of Israeli concerns about Iran's pursuit of a nuclear bomb.

WASHINGTON – Speaking before some 16,000 delegates at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual policy conference on Monday morning, US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power gave a ringing endorsement of the Obama administration’s pro-Israel credentials while emphasizing that the US-Israel relationship transcends partisan politicking. “We believe firmly that Israel’s security and the US-Israel relationship transcends politics and it always will,” Power declared to strong applause from the audience. Power acknowledged that delegates “may also have heard lately of tension in the relationship between the US and Israel,” but said ...

Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets — reports President Barack Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets in 2014 if they were sent to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, a Kuwaiti newspaper reports. The Arabic-language Al-Jarida newspaper cites “well-placed” sources in its report on Saturday. According to the report, Netanyahu decided in consultation with Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, as well as top security and military commanders, to strike Iranian nuclear sites. The decision came, according to the newspaper, after Israel discovered that the United States and Iran were set to sign an agreement over Iran’s nuclear ...

P ressTV... Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak in Congress on Tuesday. The US Republican Party is backing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s anti-Iran speech in Congress in order to win the support of American Jews, a political analyst says. “In many ways, the Republicans are trying to win the Jewish vote and Jewish backing,” Joshua Landis, associate professor and director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, told Press TV on Sunday. Landis made the remarks while commenting on a speech by Senator Lindsey Graham at the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference on Sunday. ...

Sometimes a speech is just a speech. Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech about Iran policy on March 3 will not be his first address to Congress. It will make familiar, if important, arguments. One might assume that, like the vast majority of speeches, it would soon be overtaken by events in Israel and the United States and the world. But the Obama administration’s reaction to the Israeli prime minister’s appearance suggests Netanyahu’s is more than just another speech. An administration that disdains the use of disproportionate force has been, to say the least, disproportionately forceful in its efforts to undermine Netanyahu’s message and discredit the messenger. What is ...
