What happened to the 'red lines', what happened to the ridic 'map' and most especially what happened to Iran will have the BOMB by spring 2013?


Has Lapid (his coalition partner) reigned in Bibi? (Lapid is more concerned with domestic politics for the Israeli population and starting peace talks with Palestine)
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/01/28/181276/israel-iran-slowing-nuclear-program.html


"Previous assessments were built on a set of data that has since shifted," said one Israeli intelligence officer, who spoke to McClatchy only on the condition that he not be identified. He said that in addition to a series of "mishaps" that interrupted work at Iran’s nuclear facilities, Iranian officials appeared to have slowed the program on their own.
"We can’t attribute the delays in Iran’s nuclear program to accidents and sabotage alone," he said. "There has not been the run towards a nuclear bomb that some people feared. There is a deliberate slowing on their end."


Lapid has desires to be the next PM!
http://www.timesofisrael.com/lapid-next-time-i-will-run-for-prime-minister-and-win/


The criticism was not slow in coming. “Lapid made a grave mistake. Announcing his plans will harm the coalition talks,” a senior Likud official said, according to Haaretz. “[Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will now think twice before assigning him a post. The prime minister doesn’t need a future challenger sitting in a senior position next to him. He will also have difficulty trusting a coalition partner who makes decisions based on his popularity.”

But what about the Religious Zionists? No coalition without them.

Actually, calling citizenship a "privilege" goes far beyond dual citizenship and is counter to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 15:

Article 15.
  • (1) Everyone has the right to a nationality.
  • (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the   right to change his nationality.
B'nai Brith wilfully forgets that this article is a direct response to the large number of stateless people during and in the wake of the Second World War. In particular, as concerns this organisation, Jews were specifically stripped of their citizenship in the Reich (Germany and lands annexed to it).

I'm not going to spell it out but when a Zionist goes on about dual citizenship, he tickles the ironies.
It is when we all play safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity. It is when we all play safe that fatality will lead us to our doom. It is in the "dark shade of courage" alone that the spell can be broken.

Indeed, if anyone were to insinuate that Jews, due to their instant access to Israeli citizenship, aren't "real" (insert nationality), they would - rightly - be accused of antisemitism.

A generation after the Nazis, the Argentine dictatorship was very fond of such denigration...

Wow Wow and Wow! Check out this propaganda, humanitarian my hind end!


http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/israeli-military-says-troops-treat-wounded-syrians-take-them-to-israel-for-further-treatment/2013/02/16/b91e4740-784e-11e2-b102-948929030e64_print.html


So Israel won't allow Gazan Palestinians to receive medical treatment for fragile seniors or babies, but will give medical help to Syrians.....It was unclear whether the Syrians are rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad, forces loyal to him or civilians caught in the crossfire.

Hey ever heard of mercenaries? can't have injured Israeli mercenaries get into the wrong hands.

UN staffer missing from Israel/Syria border


My guess is Karl Campeau is among the 6 recently 'kidnapped' (or Israel mercenaries?, post below) and in Israel.


And apparently Campeau may have dual Canadian/Austrian citizenship.


http://www.jta.org/news/article/2013/02/26/3120521/un-staffer-missing-from-syria-israel-order-is-canadian-legal-adviser-to-un-peacekeeping-force


The report says he is unaffiliated with the Can. gov't.


Reached by email late Monday night, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs told JTA that Canada was aware a member of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force mission was unaccounted for in Syria, but would not say whether the staffer was Canadian.
[/size]"We are in contact with appropriate parties to gather additional information," spokeswoman Amanda Reid said.[/font]

Does it always have to be about OIL, seems so and omg a Cheney/Murdoch connection  (advisors to Genie Oil)  :o
Only rebels mercs are in Golan Heights now, Assad forces forced out. Wow, Israel sure knows how to exploit another country. And the missing Canadian who the UN first said was Austrian but now is a Canadian, even tho logic would say he was born in Canada then went to live in Austria because the report says his son was born in Austria, well he is still missing. Something sure smells here.


The licence was granted to the Israeli subsidiary of US-based Genie Energy, headquartered in New Jersey, which is associated with several known pro-settler figures. Effie Eitam, a former Israeli minister who lives on a Golan settlement, runs Genie's Israeli business, and the company's advisers include the British media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Dick Cheney, who served as the US vice president under George W Bush from 2001 to 2009.[/size]

http://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Cheney-Linked-Company-to-Drill-in-Occupied-Golan-Heights.html


[/color][/size]The Israeli government awarded a local subsidiary of U.S.-based Genie Energy the rights to explore for oil and natural gas in about 150 square miles of the southern section of the Golan Heights. The United Nations last year extended the mandate for the region's U.N. Disengagement Observer Force mission, one of the oldest peacekeeping missions, for another six months. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said keeping Blue Helmets stationed in the area was essential to peace given the potential for conflict spilling out of the Syrian civil war. [/color]

AIPAC to Hill, Don't Touch Israel Aid


Israel getting its subsidies while local school lunch programs get cut. Think anyone will wake up?

$3 Billion plus annual security assistance and that doesn't cover the other profits, like the $83 Billion that went to banks from tax dollars, gee isn't that the same amount the sequester amounts to? What a coinkydink.

You've read Israel wants Palestinians on their own Buses furthering apartheid and racism in Israel.


You know the Cons/Liberals/NDP/Bloc have joined together to condemn Apartheid Week


Did you know John Baird is speaking to AIPAC today? to once again give Canada's unequivocal support to Israel despite the oppression and dispossession of the Palestinians.


My question(s) perhaps it should just be re-named? Who will be arrested this week?

Imagine if the headline actually read Jews Only Buses


“You’re not allowed to be on Highway 5.” At long last: official confirmation that there are apartheid highways in Israel, despite all the denials.
“You’re not allowed to use public transportation at all.”
Happy Apartheid Week!

Baird threatens Palestinians if they go to ICC


Such diplomacy. Baird opens his mouth and Netanyahoo's words come out.

A Republican and a Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives introduced legislation that would make Israel a "major strategic ally," a one of a kind designation, JTA has reported. 

This would exempt Israel from the sequester cuts.
