POPSCongressional tourists avoid apartheid in Israel As a member of the Israeli Knesset, I am concerned that they're on a propaganda tour run by an affiliate arm of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which bills itself as "America's leading pro-Israel lobby," yet has helped stymie Palestinian freedom aspirations for decades. Yes, the members will have a token meeting or two with officials of the Palestinian Authority, but they certainly are not going to learn of the discrimination and occupation that the state of Israel imposes on the Palestinian people in its midst.

POPSOver 400 al-Qaeda Terrorists Now in Sinai "We saw this in the two gas pipe explosions that occurred there," Netanyahu said. "What's happening in Sinai is that global terrorist organizations are meddling there and their presence is increasing because of the connection between Sinai and Gaza." Since the ousting of Mubarak, there have been two terrorist- caused explosions at the Sinai gas works that supply 40 percent of Israel's gas as well as being the main gas source forJordan, which were originally attributed to Bedouin. In addition, Egypt has opened its Rafiah crossing border to Gaza, giving rise to concern that members of Al-Qaeda, already suspected of infiltrating Gaza, will find there way there, along with arms smuggled across the opened crossing, to form terrorist cells. Al Qaeda took over the Yemenite town of Zinjibar this week. It is feared that targets in Egypt or the Sinai might be its next goal. al Queda in Egypt http://bit.ly/kdMEcR http://newmediajournal.us

POPSPalin promises to come back for a week Boo Hoo! Poor J Street is offended. Maybe the PM knows who Israel's true allies are and they may not, necessarily, be the American Jews who always manage to undermine the sovereignty and security of the Jewish State.

POPSLeft-Wing Israelis concerned about Israeli Democracy → Will people hit the streets for democracy?
Could this start a new revolution? The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) is leading the fight against anti-democratic legislation. Calling it the death of Israeli Democracy. Explaining that the death of democracy is a gradual process (how true!). The IDI, a non-partisan think-tank based in Jerusalem, warns: "People who are concerned but are waiting for the 'moment of real danger' to abandon their routines and take steps to defend democracy are making a mistake. The moment of real danger is now." The call for 'Democracy', a revolution. (Creating discriminating legislation is also the trend in Europe, we are becoming fascist. Enduring great losses of freedom and rights, and overwhelmed with obligations. Freedom of speech attacked in Holland. It's not pretty.) Many belief that the Palestine are the only victims here. But isn't it strange that Israel and the danger they're in, is never mentioned? Just silenced to death. Fairytale revolutions

POPSHuckabee: Egypt protests "threaten the world" Why is Huckabee saying what he's saying? It comes down to the centrality of Israel in his foreign policy worldview. And the Israelis are worried about losing Hosni Mubarak, who maintained a peace treaty with the Jewish state.For more on this dynamic, check out this item on the cool reaction of pro-Israel groups in the U.S. to the Egyptian protests.
