The Zionist lobby’s First Lady in US Congress
Against that background it was entirely logical that she would take (as she did) the lead in demanding that the Obama administration “halt its condemnations of an indispensable ally and friend of the United States.”
Once upon a time it was only those seeking to be elected on the Democratic ticket who felt the need to kiss the Zionist lobby’s bottom. Now the Republicans are at it, too.
What chance does any American president have of confronting this lobby in order to be able to put American’s own real and best interests first? My answer (I never tire of giving it) is no chance unless and until enough American voters are informed enough to call and hold their Congressmen and women to account.
Footnote
Ros-Lehtinen’s history indicates that she is a fan of targeted assassinations, so presumably on this matter she thinks Obama is doing a better job than George “Dubya” Bush.
She appeared very briefly in 638 Ways to Kill Castro, a Channel 4 documentary film broadcast in the UK on 28 November 2006. It told the story of some of the many attempts by the CIA to kill the Cuban leader. Her contribution included this: “I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro and any leader who is oppressing the people.”
When a 28-second clip of her saying that was circulated on the internet, she denied it by claiming that the production team had misrepresented her by splicing clips to make the sound bite. Director Dollan Cannell then released the unedited tapes of the interview with her, proving that she had twice welcomed an attempt on Castro’s life. It was the production team that had been misrepresented by her, not the other way round. Cannel asked for an apology but he didn’t receive one.
An inability to say sorry is, of course, one of the hallmarks of all who support Israel right or wrong.

It is so sad that such a person represents Americans, even in Florida. How can someone having such extreme views be of any value in a democratic country? Now that Repugs are the majority, she has that exalted position in the Foreign Affairs Committee, where she can do maximum damage.
This whole UNESCO issue shows the USA at its most small-minded, as it was obvious the vote would be for the entry of Palestine, so why vote against and have Victoria Nuland giving that pathetic explanation (luckily shown up by reporter Matt Lee)?
It is ironic that the USA pretends to care about UNESCO, when it has no interest in education (see the Reps!) science (climate deniers, evolution deniers, fertilised-eggs as persons in the potential presidential candidates) or culture (look at Iraq, cradle of human civilisation now Burger King/Mcdonaldised)yet wants to influence it without paying.

I stand corrected if wrong, but destruction of heritage as defined by and through UNESCO can in some circumstances also amount to a matter which the International Criminal Court may be seized of as well and accordingly be able to take action.
Two further thoughts arising from the UNESCO vote. Firstly, how many of the ‘abstaining’ countries later vote for Statehood? Hopefully many – any ideas and reasons for them? I have not been able to find discussion on this yet.
Second thought, it is a nice thought that the Bridge Complaint to UNESCO brought very recently by the PLO can now be brought by this long overdue new UNESCO member!!

The congress as a whole is a traitor to America and should be arrested and charged: Defunding UNESCO is not in America’s interests, it is the interests of a handful of loathsome Zionists who are celebrating tonight their control of the US. Americans, and American Jews, are just fast asleep, as always, dreaming about how good they are and how bad the rest of the world is… ZZZZZzzzz…zionist..zzzzz

“I welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate Fidel Castro and any leader who is oppressing the people.” Would Netanyahu fit that bill since he is oppressing those under his military conquest. By the way calling her a lady is an insult to women.
If she loves Israel so much, why doesn’t she go and live there instead of giving US a bad name.

Because she feels at home in US, a zionist colonial country where most people are beni-yes-yes … yes! yes! to zionist injustice …

Ileana Ros-Lehtinan;
“When a 28-second clip of her saying that was circulated on the internet, she denied it by claiming that the production team had misrepresented her by splicing clips to make the sound bite. Director Dollan Cannell then released the unedited tapes of the interview with her, proving that she had twice welcomed an attempt on Castro’s life”
How America’s gangster politicians DARE label anyone else terrorist, (namely Hamas, democratically elected government of Gaza), with potential criminals such as Ros-Lehtinan holding the position she does is utterly beyond me. It’s not enough to air one’s psychopathic tendencies to the world, but to go a step further and be dumb enough to deny doing so,knowing you were most likely caught on tape, makes Clouseau look intelligent!And these are the people who sit in judgement on the future of a Palestinian state. I don’t think so.

Ros-Lehtinen along with Canter should be arrested and tried for sedition as both have publicly proclaimed their allegiance to Israel over the United States even though they swore allegiance to the United States when sworn in as members of Congress.

GReat information, Alan. A lot of Americans seem to think thyat the rest of the worl should serve their interests. Walking in a street with my daughter and her children in Texas when Gordon Brown was PM here I had a passer by on hearing my accent turn to me and say that it was Britain and Gordon Brown’s fault that the dollar was weakening. Did she really think that foreign goverments woke in the morning saying ‘ what can we do for America today?’ With attitudes like that endemic Ros-Lehtnian has got it made.
Congrats to the Palestinioans – it is so rarely that we get a bit of good news regarding that area.

Well it’s obvious that this woman would be keen on killing “Castro”. Who do you think the “Cubans” were who fled to Florida when he took over. Who do you think fled Bolivia, Venezuela and South Africa when they elected governments not friendly to the US? What do you think will happen in any of these countries when their leaders are defeated in elections? Why the parasites will be back of course. Heaven forbid they should go live in Israel when they haven’t sucked all the other countries dry yet. Well actually South Africans have gone to live there but that’s only until Mandela dies. After all whenever they flee they claim they have left with nothing and must go back to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs. They lie to your face. They pretend Obama is anti Israel. The more they deny the more you know the truth. No Havanagila for them, just Hasbara.

Seems to me that Netanyahu should live in the White House instead of ruling-by-proxy and Obama should erect a tent outside it starting an “Occuput the White House” movement.
