02.08.2019 Palestine and the Israel-Saudi Arabia alliance Maan News by Ibrahim Fraihat. Describes how Israel is an accomplice in the Saudi Arabian torture, murder, dismemberment of American journalist Jamal Kashoggi inside the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, Turkey. Israel supplied the Saudis with the Pegasus software that the regime used to monitor Kashoggi. Two of the Saudi Prince’s aids fired for the murder are part of the Saudi government’s clandestine efforts to build an alliance with Israel and to improve Israel’s image with the Saudi people. Some things Kashoggi’s murder accomplished:
1) Exposed Saudi regime’s clandestine romance with the Israeli regime.
2) Exposure of that romance helped Iran in the Arab world. Israel and the Saudis have been working together to undermine Iran.
3) Exposed Saudi dependence on Israel when Netanyahu publicly supported Saudi regime after it murdered Kashoggi.

02.14.2019 Reminder: Israel is still holding a Palestinian lawmaker as a political prisoner indefinitely Haaretz by Gideon Levy.
The former apartheid regime of South Africa would hold political prisoners for up to 90 days with no charges, trial, or sentence. Israel’s ‘administrative detention’ laws are the same except, Israel can hold political prisoners for 180 days, then roll their imprisonment into another 180 days, then another, and another, indefinitely.
In this article, Gideon Levy speaks out for justice on behalf of one of the more famous victims of this injustice: Khalida Jarrar. Jarrar is a wife, mother and Palestinian lawmaker, who has been held without trial in Israeli prison for 20 months now (over 600 days) on Israel’s latest string of administrative detention trying to break her. She was arrested by Jewish occupation troops who stormed her home in a pre-dawn night and fog raid in July, 2016. She’d only been out of Israeli prison a few weeks before that arrest.
A little background here: [She has actually been in Jewish state prisons all but a few weeks since April 02, 2015 when occupation troopers broke down the door of her family home at 3 a.m. and took her away. They held her under administrative detention for 6 months, Israel postponed her hearing multiple times then, in December, 2015 sentenced her to 15 months in prison for belonging to an illegal organization; the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP). Two witnesses who had testified against her told the court their statements had been coerced under torture by Israeli interrogators.
In December, 2015 this elected official told the press how she and 13 other women were taken, hand cuffed and shackled at the ankles, from prison at 2 a.m., made to wait in a very cold bus then taken to an unheated concrete room where it was freezing and the toilet had overflowed, flooding the floor of the room. Imagine the indignity of that, but Israel has not broken her.
Or her husband either. Israel has arrested him14 times. He has spent 11 years in prison without any charges being filed against him. Through it all the couple has supported each other through their long absences.]

02.14.2019 This is how AIPAC really works The Nation by M J Rosenberg. Asks, “Has anyone ever seen so many members of Congress, of both parties, running to the microphones and sending out press releases to denounce one first-t termer for criticizing the power of …a lobby?”
1. AIPAC is different from domestic lobbies like the NRA or the Ethanol Lobby because AIPAC is a lobby for a foreign government.
2. AIPAC conferences feature mini-conferences in side rooms where lobbyists choose which political candidates get how much money, and which don’t.
3. Author compares wide-eyed AIPAC denials that they raise money for political candidates to Captain Renault in Casablanca saying he’s ‘shocked, shocked’ to learn that gambling is going on at Rick’s Place—as the club crook hands him his winnings.’ While AIPAC claims it doesn’t raise money for American politicians, it directs money other PAC’s and individual donors raise to various candidates.
4. “I sat in AIPAC staff meetings at which the political director discussed whom “we” would be supporting in this campaign and whom “we” were going to destroy in that one. I also sat in on meetings at AIPAC’s huge annual policy conference, attended by as many as 20,000 AIPAC members and virtually the entire congress, at which fundraising pitches were made.”

14) 02.14.2019 Despite apology for AIPAC tweet, Ilhan Omar uses controversy for fundraising. [Everyone is laughing at AIPAC over yesterday’s Haaretz headline that AIPAC is trying to make money off Omar’s tweet, ‘It’s all about the Benjamins” so today Haaretz accused Omar of doing what AIPAC is doing.
