Israeli Military occupies Palestinian school used by Irish educational volunteers

These tactics are a powerful sign of the utter bankruptcy of Israels policies in the West Bank and against Palestinians in general.

Roughing up defenceless Palestinian refugees is now the only option for Olmert and his cronies to show how "tough" they are having failed utterly to crush Hezbollah resistance.

It is now time for Israel to make a fair peace with their neighbours and permanently cease their terror tactics against the Palestinians, before the Palestinians follow the example of Hezbollah.

Small groups of American Jews are staging Die-ins and Demos against Israeli crimes. Its good to see such groups, however small, of the Jewish Community distancing themselves from the actions of the rogue state of Israel. If only they can motivate the hundreds of thousands fellow Jewish travellers to send a loud and clear message to the world that Israeli policy and the interest of the Jewish People are not one in the same.
It can often be very difficult to fully absorb the political arguments against Israel's military actions for fear of falling foul of the crazed horde that revel in blanket bombing the world with charges of Anti-Semitism. The real Anti-Semites are the ones that are happy to drag all Jews into a spurious collective guilt for the actions of Israel. By equating an attack on Israeli violence as an attack on the Jewish people they have at least two aims. Firstly, to silence the legitimate and dangerous criticism, and secondly, to promote Anti-Semitism among certain groups so as to legitimise anti-arab rhetoric and provide a backdrop for their constant jingoism.
It takes a lot of guts for Jews to stand up against Israel especially if they have family living there. Pro-Israel porpaganda permeates the media at all levels and so much misguided passion has been manufactured about "Israel's right to self-defence" these protestors leave themselves wide open to close personal attack. But by doing so they help to clarify to the world that only by utterly extricating the Jewish Identity from Israeli crimes can the political leaders of the world become free to bring the rogue state to justice. Something that will ultimately serve the long term interests of the citizens of Israel by bringing balance to power in the Middle East.

"In Philadelphia, Jewish activists hung large banners from bridges above freeways during morning and evening rush hours. Banners read: "U.S. Jews Say: Stop Military $ to Israel!" "U.S. Jews Stand Against Israel's War Crimes" and "U.S. Jews Say: Israel Stop Killing Civilians"."

You might watch out for the beam in your own eye. You have a nasty habit of spuriously accusing your opponents of being Islamophobes. You even call the Iranian Socialist opposition Islamophobes.

Dont use Zionist style tactics. Debate on an intellectually honest basis.

"Debate on an intellectually honest basis."

Perhaps you should really be taking that advice yourself. I have requested before that you provide the quotes to back up your claims about what you maliciously claim that i posted.

"You even call the Iranian Socialist opposition Islamophobes."

Please toddle off and find the post in which I said any thing of the sort.

For the record, I do not oppose any political opposition to the Iranian regime, I wish the Iranian people good luck in a process of bringing democracy to their beautiful country. They certainly deserve it and have paid a heavy price for freedom over the years.

Heres some of your base postings.

"Apparently Iran has no right to defend itself because the Kurds are the Darlings of the Left."

"In refusing to recognise the military and strategic support that America has lent the Kurds he also denies Iran's historical prerogative to fear a proxy war waged by America through the Kurds as was previously done through Saddam with chemical weapons with horrific effect."

"Iran cannot be expected to sit on it's hands and do nothing as cannot Turkey."
