When I see such nauseating spectacles as Clinton’s genuflection before AIPAC, I have a compulsion to pack my bags and get the hell out of the US. I am so thoroughly angered and disgusted that words fail me. I can only hope that this latest spectacle is the equivalent of the band playing on the Titanic as the ship sunk.

There also is another aspect that came to my mind when watching the AIPAC “show”. Somehow I was reminded of a scene from a German movie – but quite true to real-life, as I know from my student days in Berlin. The movie scene showed a group of
old Nazi-nostalgics as they gathered for one of their regular conventions to reminisce the days gone by and make daring plans for a “glorious future”. In their hearts they knew those times were gone for good, yet they ostentatiously patted one-another on their shoulders, congratulating each-other for their great commitment, making noises in an attempt to reassure and draw reassurance from their grand statements, staving off the feeling of final defeat – all in all whistling in the dark to keep the big illusion alive.

Somehow, I have the feeling (hopefully not a delusion) that this year the AIPAC madmen and their prominent guests were louder than ever, as if to dispel the ghost of a not too far-away showdown. As I watched what any person not under the Zionist spell must perceive as a (deadly) farce, I wondered how many in that convention were trying to shrug-off the feeling of alarm they must surely have felt when reading the recent warnings in the more honest Israeli press. “Israel Delegitimized” is the term I frequently stumbled upon when reading recent Haaretz articles listed in your very useful Twitter.

I’m sure they must be aware of the mounting disapproval coming loud and clear from European and American citizens – many of them Jews. And they must also be aware that it would be unwise to ignore those voices and simply dismiss them as an expression of “anti-Semitism” – as they call it openly, while secretly acknowledging the anti-Israel aspect, if they are smart, and they are, albeit in a devious fashion.

You are right: “Zionism’s dark forces don’t want the lights on” – neither to see nor to be seen.

Could we really be on the brink of witnessing a slow descent of Israel’s rising star? I really hope so and the People of Palestine must hope so, lest they give up in despair. But I don’t think the help will come from Obama. It will come from (slowly) awakening mass-movements, as it always does.

I wonder if anybody else shares the impression I had when watching the AIPAC circus.

All this other talk is pure PR to convince the gullible who applaud such inhumanity.

They can have peace tomorrow but they have been talking about it for 50 years and will keep on just talking about it.

My feeling, after living in Israel during the Naqba, and carefully following everything about it that I possibly could over the 62 dreadful years since, much of which many Jewish People are unaware of, including attrocities committed by their own governments against the Sephardim Communities and their children/infants in early Israel, I fear that Zionism has very much torn the very heart and soul out of Judaism and that the country is totally bereft of reality and moral leadership. This experiment of a “Jewish Homeland” has gone horribly wrong and needs to be stopped now before millions more innocent people are massacred in the name of Israel because, let us make no bones about it, people are dying and being persecuted everywhere in the world now because of Israel’s lies, false information and pressure on America to attack Islamic countries and this has to end. It will end in tragedy for all of us if Israel and their hold on World Jewry is not stopped at once.

It is time to put out the lights on AIPAC; on ALL JEWISH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN EVERY COUNTRY OTHER THAN ISRAEL; EITHER DISARM ISRAEL COMPLETELY OR DISSOLVE THE COUNTRY AND TRANSFER THE POPULATION TO THE FIRST JEWISH STATE: BIRIBIZHIAN. (There was no need for Palestine to become split because the Jews already had and still have a flourishing State in Biribizhian which they were careful not to mention – so a case can be made at the U.N. for fraud and I believe that the UN really did not have the right to give this land away considering that it had already been promised to the Palestinians for fighting alongside the British to rid the land of the Turks. Any way you look at this question, even biblicly it is wrong. (Abram came from Ur in the Persian Gulf not Palestine and besides Jews broke their covenant with God many times and were sent from the land forfetting it, (if you believe the Bible)). So they have always been usurpers of this land not the indigenious people of the land and need to leave.

For the past 80 years this whole region has been racked by terrorism, Jewish terrorism, as it is today and it must end. The fact that it is now Israeli Jewish State Terrorism makes no difference, it is still terrorism.
