Of course Israel wants piece. every piece of land they can grab and we will of couse say nothing because it might piss off our masters. What has becaome of our country, Lady Liberty eyes are showing sad wrinkles and her tits are beginning to sag. This is no longer the country I was raised in. We have become a nation of lackey,s and grovelers before The zionist cancer.

Thank you very much for this post (and all of your other posts!), Alan. I had been searching for the words to describe this very disturbing man. It was the first time that I’d come across this Prosor character, and he sent chills down my spine. Even though I’m quite used to the unbearable attitude of Israeli officials, this one stood out and I could not quite put it into words. He’s got his own special brand of psychosis… very unsettling.
Your friend, Rich Forer, is spot-on, that was a very “Goebbels-like” performance, indeed (the irony..!). Glad I’m not the only one disturbed by this creep!

Zionist’s. People who call themselves Jews but are not, but are of the synoguge of Satan. The bible says that too. Now go ahead and tell me Satan does not exsist.

Even though I am so happy that the vote has been passed overwhelmingly in the Palestinians’ favour, at the same time I am filled with despair at the thought that it will make little difference. Israel will continue stealing what land there is left on the West Bank and will arrogantly ignore any complaints made by the UN.

I applaud your dedication and tenacity in the favor of the oppressed Palestinian people. We need courageous people like you since most of us are ill-equipped verbally to face this world which sucks up to the Zionists. Thank you Alan Hart.

The Guardian reports that “Netanyahu has ordered the construction of thousands of new homes in Jewish settlements in the occupied territories in what will be widely interpreted as retaliation for the United Nations vote to recognise a Palestinian state on Thursday.”

The Zionists are poor losers.

‘. Dore Gold, a former Israeli ambassador to the UN, told the BBC that the Palestinian move was a “massive violation” of the Oslo peace accords.

He said that if the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, attempted to use the new status to declare an independent state then Israel would have to act and may go so far as “annexing territory”.’

How does the UN granting Palestine non-member observer status benefit it concretely?

In a rare moment in my life I listned to someone who – in public – don’t feel any shy of expressing the exact opposite of what he really thinks and actes and furthomore knows that most of the audience is convinced he is not telling the truth.

It’s not self righteousness or anything close to it that matters – it’s the original plan for eretz Yisrael that has never been forgotten. That is what motivates everything Israel does, from the disingenuous “peace process” to its tantrums of bombing Gazans to its petulant whining about anti-Semitism. It’s all a manipulation of world opinion; but in fact there is not so much emotion involved as cold calculation.

First, make the world think you are a victim. Then, tell the world your enemies are plotting to destroy you. Next, steal land by conquest and justify it by trotting out some hoary old narratives from ancient texts, and whip out the holocaust survivors, shmaltzy Hollywood movies and photos of Jews in concentration camps (yes, I’m cynical). After that, cry about how you want peace but those recalcitrant Palestinians are also trying to kill you. Don’t let the world see how you’ve become a homicidal maniac killing the occupied people you claim are so subhuman. (And don’t forget to tell the world how subhuman and evil they are while you’re at it.) Sit at the negotiation table and make ridiculous demands while you continue killing, brutalizing and stealing. Tell your citizens this is necessary. Tell the world, too. And don’t forget to hand out piles of money to those who will protect your dirty enterprise.

In the end, the world won’t know anything other than that you were a tiny country of displaced wanderers who fought and won. It’s so Hollywood, so “heartwarming,” and so bullshit.

But it’s not working. It’s unraveling. As we all know, eventually, no matter how carefully we wrap it up, garbage will start to smell.
