A Video, that everyone needs to watch…
I think everyone needs to watch this:
It’s pretty scary, but all true.

A new Progressive Jewish PAC

Quote:
At last, at long last. There will be a hard money lobby in Washington that represents progressives on Israel/Palestine issues, that lobbies for Israeli/Palestinian peace, that acts as a counterweight to AIPAC.
(Snip!)
Unlike the existing groups, this group will actually support candidates for office.
Right now, they are taking nominations for who they should support in the fall. Make the best case that your favored candidate will work to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace. That’s exactly the dynamic we need: candidates competing to do the most to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace, as opposed to competing to do the opposite.
There is no time like the present. This week, former President Carter is meeting with the exiled leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshal, in Syria. As Carter has said, "There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that, if Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors, the Palestinians, that Hamas will have to be included in the process."
Of course, as the Washington Post notes, it will be the case for the foreseeable future that AIPAC will have more money and more people.
But that misses the fact that those with less money can have more influence when they are telling the truth, if they can just muscle their way to the microphone.
While I must agree with the content of this video, the rhetoric used by those on the far right, is not what the majority of the main stream America believes.
On the other hand, the idea that Jimmy Carter met with a convicted terrorist living in exile, totally burns my boots. Hamas is a terrorist organization, and anyone who meets with them, supports that mentality. Sorry Liberals, I don’t believe there is any way anyone, who claims to be Pro-American, could go and meet with someone, who is against the values that America stands for, and supports Islamic rule. Sorry, I don’t buy the diplomacy line.
For all we know, Hamas helped fund the Sept 11’th attacks in America.
Jewish Racism by a Obama Supporter!
The Article: Reverend Eric Lee’s Anti-Semitism: A Personal Story (via Pajamas Media)
On April 4, 2008, at a Los Angeles event commemorating the assassination of Martin Luther King, the African-American fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi gave Israeli-American Daphna Ziman its Tom Bradley Award for community service. Then the event’s keynote speaker, Reverend Eric Lee, turned to Ms. Ziman and launched an anti-Semitic diatribe. Roger L. Simon interviewed Ms. Ziman.
Watch this Video:
That’s the saddest thing I have ever had to watch. I think Senator Barack Obama needs to publicly condemn this, there’s just no call for it.
I look for this to be the big story in the next couple of days.
Update: Thankfully, this is being picked up, several Bloggers have started talking about it: Roger L. Simon and Classical Values
Funding the very terrorists we’re supposed to be fighting against
That’s right folks.
Via WorldNetDaily:
Just days after it was announced the U.S. would transfer $150 million directly to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ government, members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, the declared military wing of Abbas’ Fatah party, were told they would receive cash grants, WND has learned.
According to Palestinian militant sources familiar with the issue, earlier this month, 20 members of the Brigades leadership in the West Bank city of Ramallah complained to PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad they did not have enough money to pay their bills, including, for many of them, rent for their apartments.
Last week, according to the informed sources, Fayyad told the complaining Brigades leaders he would provide them with a one-time grant of $3,000 each, or $60,000 to the Ramallah-based Brigades leadership.
The sources said after Brigades leaders in other West Bank cities, including Hebron and Nablus, heard of the grants, they also demanded pay increases.
"Some of the other fighters accused Fayyad of favoring the Brigades leaders in Ramallah since that’s where Fayyad lives," said a militant source. "So he gave grants also to other cells."
Unreal. Can the lies and deceptions, from this feckless administration, be any clearer?
I guess Ron Paul was correct. 
Oy….. McCain Edition.
Man, I know McCain is not known for his overreaching brilliance, But…. This?
The Story: McCain rep to Jewish crowd: the Christian right is ‘serious problem’ (Via Haaretz)
The location keeps changing, and the speakers might be different as well, but the goal remains the same: courting the Jewish vote. Today, it was in Washington, at the Washington 15 Conference, an event of the United Jewish Communities aimed at young Jewish leadership. And three campaigns sent their representatives to convince these young enthusiastic crowd that Obama/Clinton/McCain is the candidate they should be voting for.
For Obama, it was advisor (and former ambassador to Israel) Daniel Kurtzer. For Clinton, it was senior advisor Ann Lewis. McCain dispatched the most senior speaker of the three, former secretary of state Lawrence Eagleburger. I will write more about this event later, but this first installment will be dedicated solely to the person speaking on behalf of McCain. With his abrupt, grumpy style, he stole the show, and also made some rather interesting comments.
Here is one prediction: that mouth of his might get the candidate in some trouble.
Yes, it can.
Eagleburger was trying to have fun. He was mocking his fellow panelist Kurtzer, sitting to the left of the others ("where he belongs"), and making noises and funny, impatient faces, while Ann Lewis was speaking. But more importantly, he did not mince his words. In a response to a question about the religious right, an important component of the Republican coalition, he said that it was, indeed "a serious problem," and reminded his listeners that he now lives in Charlottesville, surrounded by such people that he needs to fight.
If McCain wants to woo the American people this is NOT the way to do it.
Like I said above…. Oy…

Damned Ragheaded Terrorists.
Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh Killed in Lebanon
This has to be a good thing.
Israel denys any involvement. But I bet they were.
Either way, It’s a good thing.

For the most part, I agree. If the Bush Administration has done nothing wrong, then why threaten to veto? 
Sorry, I don’t buy the frivolous lawsuit B.S. Line.
Ms. Magazine Hates Israel
But they’ll publish ads that promote liberalism.
Ms. Magazine refuses to publish ad about Israel’s most powerful women (Via Yourish.com)
The magazine co-founded by Gloria Steinem doesn’t seem to like Jews when they’re Israeli Jews. Or at least, that’s the impression they’re giving after rejecting an ad for Israel that the AJC wanted to place.
This should not be a surprise, seeing Gloria Steinem founded the magazine.
The Ad in question:
and they wonder why I won’t align myself with those God hating thugs.
