Who as me here cheers the fact that Israeli war criminals are furious at Sos. Kerry's standing for a fair and equal peace! We have to be extremly proud at him, IMHO. His standings are a significative turn toward a less arrogant and more comprehensive US govt. Go John, hold on! Let's put the shame all over those war criminals and abusers. How can still people think that Israel's invasion and blockades of Gaza are legitimate? Really, what are rockets compared to fragmentation bombs breaking bodies into peaces, houses destroyed to the ground, privation of food....

1. anything that pisses off fascist, ....

Can't be all bad.

2. Yes. And this weeks it seems everyone in the key nations for peace process

had agreed to embarass Kerry. Shamefull, unrespectfull and petty.

3. John Kerry saw first-hand Israel's efforts to scuttle his efforts for a peace agreement

by Israel's massacre against the imprisoned population in the Gaza Strip. He's dealing with sociopaths.

Not that John Kerry is that great either, considering Kerry's support for the unprovoked war against Iraq.

This can't be posted enough:

4. I dont agree with your second sendence, but,

damn, how I love this protester's pannel. Thank you so much! I think I will use it and translate into french for the next pro-Gaza stand of at my town's city hall!

6. I don't have problems calling morally retarded folks sociopaths

It was appropriately used against members of the Bush administration, especial Cheney. A certain percent of people are sociopaths. Too many rise to power, as they can tolerate the typical corrupt games played in politics.

8. Thanks for posting that picture.

This is the first time I've seen it.

It's such a powerful statement.

11. the truth

http://www.intifada-palestine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/palestine-olive-trees-settlers-set-fire-.jpe


The olive trees had to go because they showed that the Palestinians had been living there
for generations and they proved that creation of the state of israel resulted in the destruction
of the homeland of the people of Palestine.

And why does Hamas have support? Well, you force people to live like animals in Gaza w/no
jobs, food, or a future as they see the lands that used to call home turned into more and more
settlements.

13. I'd really appreciate a direct link to this photo.

I can find all kinds of links to the quote, but I'd like to email/FB the poster itself.
Thanks!

The man in the picture reminds me so much of an Arab friend who is now deceased.
My dear friend (from grad school days) was a Christian Arab who attended Catholic schools in his native Haifa, Israel, got his first degree from Hebrew University, worked as a social worker in Jerusalem, married a Jewish-American social worker and moved to America. He had an insatiable thirst for education and eventually earned Ph.D.s from Univ. of Pittsburgh, and Univ. of Virginia, in addition to several master's degrees. The fact that the man got a Ph.D. from UVA tells you he was highly intelligent. He had initially wanted to be a physician but, at least at that time - the late 60's, Israel strictly limited admission of Arabs to its medical schools. He told me of having to take his driver's exam SIX TIMES in order to get his license - that was another standard way the Israelis harassed native Palestinians.

Fluent in Hebrew, Arabic and English and comfortable with French, he was an expert on the Middle East and international terrorism and was used to being interviewed by the media. He was a published author on American domestic and foreign policy, affirmative action and women's issues.

Neither black nor a veteran, he had served as adviser and political columnist for Eclipse, the magazine of the National Association of Black Veterans and helped organize a local chapter.

Because of his writings re the Middle East, he was never able to return to his homeland to visit his aging parents for fear that the Israelis would imprison him - a fear his Jewish wife shared. As a professor, he taught extra classes and channeled the added salary into a student fund he endowed at his university to honor his parents. All in all, one of the kindest, gentlest human beings I have ever known. He would be totally devastated at what has happened in Palestine & particularly Gaza in the years since his death.

15. Thank you for that

He sounds like he was a great man with an interesting life. It's too bad his ethnic and religious background held him back.

Someone asked NightWatcher where it came from, but got no reply. I tried to figure it out by the URL but I only found a generic Facebook picture link.

20. Yes, they did everything

to discredit him, almost from the beginning.

5. Don't forget the President

Unlike Cheney-Bush, he doesn't just rubber-stamp everything the Israeli government decides to do.

[Chasstev365]

7. Strong words are great, but

blind support for the current Israeli government should no longer be acceptable US foreign policy.

[mylye2222]

9. My POW is that first, you are right, and secondly,

I do thinks that, if Kerry would be alone, he maybe would have push more for diplomatic distances as long as Irsael maintains his far right, war crimes policies. But he cant, because AIPAC and co. are stronger than him.

17. And Obama

is too busy paying Bibi Yahoo lip service that supports his gross "self-defense" excuse.

12. Three Billion a YEAR welfare, US taxpayer money to support

Israelis citizens with free healthcare. NC and other rethug states turns down 2 billion of taxpayer money
to support its citizens healthcare. Go Figure.

[Dustlawyer]

14. Why don't we cut off this aid and all military weapons?

Oh yea, it would never happen because they own the politicians necessary to get it done!

Let's protest to get the money out of our elections! September 13th - November 4th and beyond let's demand Publicly Funded Federal, State, and Local Elections. Make the culpable networks and Radio stations run the campaign ads as a public service for using our airwaves under license.

Enough of us can at least start the conversation! Nothing changes for the better until we eliminate the 1% ability to control our politicians through donations. Just imagine how much time politicians would have to govern if they were not forced to attend Fundraisers year round!

Organize your city and spread the word to all groups fighting for specific issues like equal pay for women, Hobby Lobby, education, the environment...
WE CAN DO THIS!

16. Kerry for President!

[mylye2222]

19. K&R!

Unfortunely, he will not run anymore....He actually stated it twice.

America really missed a great opportunity in 2004.

18. This riff has all the authenticity of a WWE feud. Just saying.
