Israel/Palestine
Related: About this forumAnti-Israel Activists Thrilled by Abduction of Israeli Teens
Shaped largely by its co-founder and Executive Director Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada (EI) is described on its own website as an award-winning and widely recognized news publication and educational resource focusing on Palestine. While the site caters mainly to anti-Israel activists like proponents of BDS campaigns calling for boycotts against Israel, it is sometimes cited by well-placed journalists like Robert Mackey of the New York Times.
Supposedly, the content offered by EI reflects the commitment of its cofounders and editors to universal principles of human rights, international law, anti-racism and equal justice. However, the EI does not hide that when it comes to Israel and its Jewish citizens as well as supporters of the Jewish state, these laudable principles are replaced by a truly Orwellian definition of antisemitism that reflects Abunimahs preposterous view that Zionism is one of the worst forms of anti-Semitism in existence today and that support for Zionism is not atonement for the Holocaust, but its continuation in spirit.
Given these views, it is hardly surprising that Abunimah sometimes finds it difficult to conceal his enthusiasm for the kind of murderous resistance practiced by terrorist groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. It is equally unsurprising that Abunimah would now refer to the three recently kidnapped Jewish teenagers as settlers and to the security forces searching for them as occupation gangs which, in the context of Abunimahs ideology, implies that the three yeshiva students were legitimate targets of the resistance that Abunimah supports.

(12,606 posts)Now, it is time for Israel to do Genghis Khan.
Turn off their electricity. Turn off their water. Stop providing (free) medical services for the Palestinians. And if necessary, flatten Palestinian villages, entire villages, one by one, until these kids are safely home.
To Hell with worrying about collateral damage. To Hell with worrying about what the US, the EU, the UN, or anyone else will say. Set an example to deter kidnapping and terrorism. Enough is enough !!! Time to make Am Yisrael Chai more than just a slogan."

If Rana has never been out of Gaza longer than a month, how did she get a degree from a London University? And if she can read the newspapers, why doesnt she know Gaza was freed in 2005? Why are all these propagandist sluts so pretty?

The Vatican/CIA sponsored Israel gov mafia supplies the Jihadistanis with telephone, internet, electricity, gas, water, health care, etc.
Israeli citizens need to recognize and understand that their government is not their government so long as it keeps providing the Jihadistani enemy with the means and the ground to sustain itself.
This idiotic theater could and should have long been terminated.
And of course who can forget some other recent hits from this stalwart bastion of Zionist liberalism?

Depiction of President Obama delivering his 2014 State of the Union address. Photo: White House.
Under President Obama, the world is becoming unstuck. Iraq is being overrun by Islamist terrorists and the United States is now evacuating its Baghdad embassy. The Arab Spring has led to either civil war and mass slaughter, like Syria, or new Arab dictators, like Egypt. Libya is degenerating into a den of terrorists who have already murdered the American Ambassador. Putin is sending tanks into Ukraine and the thuggish Russian strongman bestrides the world like a colossus, unchecked by American will.
These facts are undeniable. The only question is whether President Obama is responsible.

Barak is inccompetent and a puppet. news to no one. He has not even denounced the kidnapping of an American citizen in Israel. Who are his controllers? who writes an autobiography at the age he did? Bizarre and evil beyond belief, but I will not be the one to state the obvious stuff. He, who knows, knows, and the rest are brain dead. not salvagable. Thank god that i am, at my age, closer to the end, than the beginning.
The DHS and all govt divisions have purchased , over the last couple of years, an ungodly number of billions of hoolow core shell. the worst kind, the kind that explode within the body. For training purposes, a defense contractor acquaintance tells me. Bull shit. billions and billions of hollow core purchased for multiple govt offices, soc security, just about everyone. For training, give me a f n break here . And many of the brain dead liberal intellectual Jewish voters who voted for this Moslem president, have not yet, realized their error. Atavistic Jewish liberalism. Appropriate and loving once, idiotic and dangerous now. but they, the rabbis at BJ, for example, just for example, do not yet get it. Halevai, that they will never need to get it and that I am a nutjob. Halevai!!!!!
Charming. What's there not to admire?!

(45,850 posts)neglects to mention that Obama has not denounced this either this 2 American children murdered by their Israeli father while visiting in Israel, happened the day before the kidnapping and has been all but wiped from media
The bodies of two children who were murdered by their father last Wednesday in the central Israeli village of Yashresh were flown to the US early Tuesday for burial.
The childrens funeral is expected to take place Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio, and will be facilitated by the Torat Emet congregation, of which the childrens mother is a member.
The son and daughter, 14 and 10, were stabbed to death Wednesday evening shortly after arriving in Israel for a visit with their father.
The father admitted to police he killed the kids, reportedly to torment his ex-wife.

The same Atzmon whose latest book was endorsed by John Mearsheimer and Richard Falk.
