Pastor Jeffress, who appears to be rather violently against any religion other than his brand of Christianity, will accompany Trump to Jerusalem: https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/trump-picks-bigot-pastor-claims-jews-going-hell-lead-prayer-new-jerusalem-embassy/ CNN Played clips of this fellow...

Just to ensure that nobody in the Middle East can fail to notice that USA sees itself as above everyone else, beyond criticism and discussion, too powerful to be prevented by anyone whosoever from doing whatever it pleases, USA moves its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. How helpful this slap...

The fox is guarding the hen house: "In a stinging diplomatic defeat for Israel, the world’s largest international police organization on Wednesday accepted the “State of Palestine” as a full member. Israel fiercely objected to the Palestinians joining Interpol, arguing that Ramallah’s alleged...

If you're talking about the Golan Heights, is it okay to point out that Israel captured it in a defensive war, and has been willing to trade it back for almost 50 years in exchange for a comprehensive peace with Syria like they have with Jordan and Egypt, and that it's Syria that's been...

The Wall Street Journal is reporting (paysite) that wiretap leaks reveal that the Obama Administration caught Netanyahu offering bribes to certain "on the fence" congressional Republicans to get their support against the Iran nuclear deal. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the story is...

Here is a link to it: http://thehill.com/video/in-the-news/234429-live-netanyahu-speaks-to-congress I thought it was a good speech. I'll have to comment more when I have time, but I liked what he had to say overall. I'm interested in what fellow ISFers thought of it.

One could get that image from the campaign launched against his nomination for Secretary of Defense.

From Mitt Romney's speech last night. Media Matters seems to have the most thorough debunking I've found of this and other false claims in Romney's speech. Oh, and then there's this lovely little claim: "Obama went on an apology tour."

Jewish paper's column catches Secret Service eye

http://debka.com/article/21629/ Let's see if Debka can be trusted as factual reporting. You heard it here first!

Should we be concerned about this? Will Benjamin Netanyahu Address An Anti-Obama Pep Rally? BTW, it's not about which side he's picking, but about the fact that he's so overtly picking a side at all.

I haven't read or heard his speech yet, but I woke up this morning and opened Google News, and here's some of the headlines: Obama Speech Backlash on Call to Reinstate 1967 Mideast Borders Bridge to nowhere ZOA to AIPAC: Withdraw Obama invite My first thought is, my god, what has he done? What...

This thread is for general discussion relating to Israel and Palestine. While it is not intended to encompass all Israel/Palestine discussion, and other threads may be started in relation to specific events in the region, please limit general political discussion about Israel and...

Except that concerns over the cost have evidently been allayed: To the tune of $2.75 billion, apparently

Gideon Levy, http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/tricky-bibi-1.302053 regarding a video shown on Israel's channel 10. It was recorded in 2001, without Netanyahu knowing and, in it, he claims credit for destroying Oslo. Levy is quite dramatic, as is his style. Richard Silverstein...

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/mossad-chief-israel-gradually-becoming-burden-on-u-s-1.293540 wow. it appears some eyes may be opening in the Chosen State. The Chief of the Mossad is saying that Israel use to be an asset to the USA...but is turning itself into a burden. Now...

http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=173661 Just like the Islamo-fascists do in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. Perhaps Israelis will be showing their true nature, this coming holiday.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1162733.html or so a right-wing Jew would say, after reading this article. according to a poll by the AJC, a very good majority of American Jews say American-Israeli relations are very good, and 55% support Obama's handling of relations with Israel. this is...

Jimmy Carter's national security advisor gives an interview with the august Daily Beast and endorses "a reverse Liberty". You know, I always figured this guy was somebody Carter picked solely because his foreign accent made him sound serious, but good lord, what an airhead!

This is a question that's bugged me for a while, and I can't find the information necessary to answer it. Historically, the U.S. gives more aid to Israel than any other nation, and Israel is not a "developing nation". (Ditto the second place country Egypt--so these questions all apply almost...

Story ANyone suprised that the Israelis really wanted to do this or that Bush denied their request? I'm a little suprised and concerned about the loose lips on this supposedly "secret" request. Israelis will have have to think twice about what they tell the US president in the future, because...

Is supporting Israel good for America's interests? Israel has no oil...the Muslems have a lot. There are 1 billion Muslems...only 6 million Israelis and 14 million Jews. How exactly is favoring Israel over the Muslem/Arab world in America's interests? I personally, dont see it as an all or...

al-Jazeera story on Kerry I have seen similar stories in other publications. I thought this was interesting in that it is al-Jazeera. My questions is: Do you think John Kerry is, in fact, much more pro-Israel than G.W. Bush?

In this article: http://www.azure.org.il/9-Oren.htm Yes, it is very long, but is well worth reading, since it is the definitive treatment of the subject. The NSA documents, so far as I can tell, only add force to this article's conclusions. In one sentence: it was a f--k up.

This comes from BBC.com. I have picked some points but it's better to read the whole article by clicking Here.( BBC.News.com) Bold Fonts are mine.
