POPSObama backs Israel strike Just about his first words when he beat off Hillary were pro Israel. He now appears happy with the title of leader of a war machine. Seems happy to follow the Jews demands. Am I getting ahead of myself, as this sort of press doesn't really know what is happening.

POPSMiddle East Minefield For Barack Obama But Israeli officials - with whom he's reportedly meeting on Tuesday - will press him to define his policies about nuclear power and Iran, experts said. "The Israelis are going to have real questions about Iran, and about how he views taking out nuclear facilities there - if they haven't done it already themselves by the time Bush leaves," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "That topic will come up, on both sides. He'll get asked about it," said former State Department Mideast analyst Graeme Bannerman. "He's got to remember he's speaking to Americans - he's in a campaign, after all - even if that means he has to say things that make the locals very nervous."

POPSIsrael ENews Poll Result: Dial M for Murder! Maybe it was the misuse of an expendable to provide Sarkozy with a memorable end to his visit and divert attention away from the normal Israeli PM corruption charges now pressing on Olmert. No? Well I certainly don't believe he deliberately shot himself in the head in public and then jumped off a roof!!! One bullet in the head normal prevents subsequent high jinks.

POPSIsrael and Palestians close to peace deal? It's hard not to be skeptical about this type of thing, but it sure would be amazing to see Israel and some of their neighbors find a peaceful way to co-exist. The implications for the world seem enormously beneficial.

POPSCabinet approves Hisbullah Prisoner Swap Well, if the Israeli *prisoners* are dead, perhaps that's how the Hizbullah's *prisoners should return? Does this make sense? I would want the bodies/bones of my relatives returned to me, but why should live people be traded for dead ones? (only in Israel)

POPSIsraeli 'suicide cop': family refute claims that he killed himself "Suicide-by-cop' Yes Suicide-by-height Yes Suicide-by-bullet Yes Public suicide-by-bullet and by height NEVER! Public suicide itself is unusual. Suicide is a private act, usually seriously done out of view. Not at a public event with two presidents and a PM present. And a band. That was a nice touch. Maybe he was attempting to assassinate Olmert and was taken out first. But shooting yourself and jumping off a height is pushing credibility too far. In a state where Arab mothers and children are responsible for their own murder from the sky, credibility isn't creditable. Where 'judicial assassination' is the norm, this fiasco hardly rates. When the assassin(?) of Israeli PM Rabin is now toasted as a saviour, what should we expect? A state born of terror and murder infects its evil on others. No good god could permit such evil for so long.

POPSPeace Talks Yet Israel Dramatically Expands Settlements Although peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank resumed in Annapolis MD, Israel continues to expands its illegal settlements in the West Bank. It's contrary to the Geneva Convention to transfer part of a conquering nation's population into territories occupied because of a war. Over 200,000 Israeli settlers violate international law every day in the West Bank, yet Israel continues to expand the settlements. If Israel wanted a better way to sabotage the peace process, then it would be hard put to find a better means than expanding the settlements. Yet the present Israeli government claims it has done more to reduce settlements than any other administration. A 90% increase is supposed to be a better record. What a joke.

POPSShalit father's anger over truce SCREW Shalit's father. This is a perfect illustration of the selfishness bred into Zionists. The whole goddam Middle East can blow up and go to hell as long as his criminal terrorist piece of shit son is not returned safe and sound.

POPS'Unavoidable' attack on Iran looms, says Israeli Minister. "I could not help myself. It is my nature." "Unavoidable" said the Zionists. Then the frog and the scorpion both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river. Self destruction - "It's my Nature", said the Scorpion/Zionists, And just like in 1967 and at Pearl Harbour, the scorpion will strike first. "It's in my Nature" Then the 1967 oil crisis will have been a fireball compared to the glimmer we will have after the Zionist go nuclear. Like their glory in Samson, they'd finish us all off gladly to fulfil crazy predictions.

POPSIsraeli Housing Minister to permit 1460 new housing units in East Jerusalem settlements I find it odd that more Jews of good will do not stand up against all that is done in their name. Many KNOW how wrong this is, but far too many are silent. Silence to oppression is complicity. Thus, it looks as if the full-time job of Jews is stealing. Every time you look up, there is a Jewish name connected to stealing mega-millions in land, money and extracting favors from the suckers of America. I know there are many Jews who are appalled at the blatancy and frequency of the abuse by Israel's Jews, but who remain silent, lest they be labeled "self-hating Jew." SPEAK UP. SPEAK UP. SPEAK UP. What Israel does to Palestinians is as bad as anything anywhere at any time in all of human history.

POPS Olmert 'took cash in envelopes' Politicians can't get away with bribes if they are not popular. Gotta have charisma, greed and be good at the job. They all do it, if you judge by the number getting caught.

POPSWH Denies Army Radio Report of Attack on Iran Per the Jerusalem Post, which unlike the Haartz is more tilted toward the Likud party propaganda (Richard Perle is on its board). The context was when Bush met with Olmert of Israel recently in private. "All options are on the table" leaves it wide open. The increased presence of US Naval forces recently send to the region is either provocative gaming or contingency staging to open a new theatre.

POPS Last Gasp For Olmert's Political Career? Calls for his resignation came from left, right and center although all acknowledged that by vowing, as he did Thursday night, to resign if charged, Olmert had won himself time. The investigation will probably take another month or two. "The public doesn't have too much more patience," Colette Avital, a member of Parliament from the Labor Party, a partner in the governing coalition with Olmert's Kadima party, asserted in a typical comment. "He is simply discredited. It may take some more weeks or even months, but he won't be able to go on." "We may end up with an Iranian mini-state in Lebanon as well as one in Gaza, and the political trouble in Jerusalem makes it much harder for Israel to react as it should," Steinitz added. "But, of course, this is not just a problem for Israel but for the whole Western world, especially the United States and France."

POPS Olmert faces new corruption probe And so the Iraqis know that they are not the only ones living with corruption. (This goes well with the earlier clip about McCain and his corruption.)

POPS800 lb Gorillas Since I've been on this earth there has been conflict here. I applaud any efforts to bring peace but know that it is failed from the start if Israeli complicity in exacerbating the situation with their expansionism is acknowledged and brought to a halt.

POPSHamas/Carter for Peace that Zionist Don't want. "They said they would accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders if approved by Palestinians and they would accept the right of Israel to live as a neighbour next door in peace provided the agreements negotiated by Prime Minister Olmert and President Abbas were submitted to the Palestinians for their overall approval, even though Hamas might disagree with some terms of the agreement," Carter said. The Hamas position reflected a key agreement known as the Prisoners' Document, which Hamas signed with its rival Fatah, led by Abbas, two years ago. However, that agreement was overtaken by a near civil war between the two rival groups. The Hamas leaders also told Carter a "national reconciliation" between Hamas and Fatah was necessary for any peace agreement to work, even though the two sides appear a long way from a rapprochement. ...Guardian
