03.01.2019 Ashrawi: ‘Israel’s administrative detention an assault on human rights Maan News. As PLO lawmaker Hannan Ashwarwi welcomed Palestinian politician Khalida Jarrar back into society after Jarrar’s latest 20-month incarceration in Jewish state prisons with no charges or trial, she took the moment to call out Israel for its rampant arrests and open-ended detentions of Palestinians.
03.01.2019 Rep. Ilhan Omar comment was ‘vile anti-Semitic slur,’ top foreign affairs Dem. says Fox News. by Amy Lieu. Busby’s and Poets, a Washington D.C. restaurant, held a public meeting called, ‘Progressive Issues Town Hall.’ Congresspeople Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal, and Marc Pocan took part. Omar said, “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country. I want to ask why it is OK for me to talk about the influence of the NRA, of fossil fuel industries, or big pharma, and not talk about powerful lobbying movement that is influencing policy.”
Omar is on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The Chairman of that Committee, Eliot Engle, who is Jewish, and who opensecrets.org says has taken $1,071,971 from the Israel Lobby, lost no time in calling Omar’s statement, “a vile, anti-Semitic slur.”
Engle claimed, “I welcome debate in Congress based on merits of policy.” but he did not address merits of policy brought up by Omar, and he did not announce a schedule for debate before the public on merits of policy regarding Israel. Instead he limited himself to personal attacks against Omar’s words calling her statement vile, outrageous, and anti-Semitic.
Restaurant owner and moderator for Progressive Issues Town Hall, Andy Shallal supported Omar’s statements saying “…it’s used often times to quiet people, to disparage people, to isolate people.”

03.01.2019 How pro-Israel foundations in Washington are pushing a U.S. war with Iran Mint Press. by Philip Giraldi: former CIA analyst, now Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest.
Article lays out what most people following the issues suspected. Pretext for US/Israel war on Iran may be claims that Al-Qada is linked to Iran. Giraldi points out that al-Qada’s only recent major attack was the February 13th suicide bombing that killed 27 Iranian Revolutionary guards. So, connection between the terrorist group and Iran is false narrative but it may be enough for the neo-const to start a war.

Article contains an interview with the great woman herself as she emerges unbroken from another 20 months in Jewish state prisons with no charges brought against her and no trial. She was arrested in a pre-dawn night and fog raid on her family home on July 02, 2017 and has been locked up in bad conditions ever since. Israel promised they’d deliver her to her family at a certain checkpoint at noon. In an attempt to undermine a popular public reception for her, Israel dropped her off at six in the morning miles away and left her to walk alone. Nice interview and you will notice by the photo, Jarrar still has that lovely smile.

03.02.2019 Sign falsely linking Muslim congresswoman to 9/11 sparks outrage in West Virginia NPR by Sasha Ingber. Yesterday was West Virginia GOP Day.

Sign was condemned by the West Virginia State Republican chairwoman and the West Virginia State Senate President, who is also a Republican. You can’t blame the GOP for this but the democrats did. One democrat said he’d heard the Sergeant at Arms, Anne Lieberman, call all Muslims terrorists. Lieberman denied she’d said that, and promptly resigned that day.
The West Virginia democratic party posted a video of a woman wearing an ACT t-shirt standing with the poster. ACT is listed as an anti-Muslim hate group. The woman says she put up the poster, refused to discuss it, the offered the Hebrew toast, ‘l’chaim.”

03.03.2019 ‘Antithesis to American values’: pro-Israel democratic senators slam Netanyahu’s deal with Kahanists Haaretz by Amr Tibon. After cozying up to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s violently racist regime for years, [and, I might add, after being called out as Israeli tools], some U.S. politicians are swimming from the bilges of Netanyahu’s sinking ship of state.

03.04.2019 Ilhan Omar’s criticism raises the question: Is AIPAC too powerful? New York Times by Sheryl Stolberg. Article opens with AIPAC activist Stephen Fisk, “working the phones to Capitol Hill” to complain about Ilhan Omar. Article describes how AIPAC uses innocuous sounding (anodyne) names, to cover the groups’ reason for being, which is to support Israel by backing pro-Israel candidates. AIPAC assigns members to, “cultivate each senator and house member.”
In an 02.14.2019 article for The Nation, MJ Rosenberg who used to work for AIPAC said, “AIPAC’s political operation is used precisely as Representative Omar suggested, “including during policy conferences, when members gather “inside rooms, nominally independent to the main event, “to raise money and decide which candidate will get what.”
In 2006, Minnesota democrat Betty McCollum advocated for humanitarian relief for Palestinian refugees, AIPAC’s represtative told her Chief of Staff that “support for terrorists will not be tolerated.” That backfired. McCollum banned AIPAC from her office and told them not to come back until they apologized. AIPAC members stopped donating to her.
AIPAC’s Stephen Fisk made a threatening prediction in the article targeting the three young congresswomen who have criticized Israel’s influence in American politics: Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Occasio-Cortez. Fisk is quoted saying, “They are three people who, in my opinion, will not be around in several years.”

03.04.2019 Israeli forces shoot kill 2 Palestinians, injure another, in Ramallah Maan News. Details contested. What’s known is the killings were at 3 a.m. 3 young Palestinans in a car smashed into Israeli occupation troops whose vehicle was in the road. The road was wet. Immediately after the crash, occupation troopers machine gunned the Palestinians as they sat injured in their car.
Locals say the Palestinians were on their way to work when they ran into the car by accident. Israelis say their troops had broken down and the Palestinians were terrorists who tried to ram the Jewish troops.
Series of pictures shows with the article shows the Israelis were hit at the bottom of a long hill just after a hairpin turn near the bottom. The turn was a blind corner. The Israelis were just a few feet past that corner. Front end of Palestinian car is totaled and the windows all shot out.
Clearly the Palestinians were traveling at high speed or they wouldn’t have totaled the front end. The Palestinian driver wouldn’t have been able to see where the Israelis were until he turned the corner which makes a terrorist attack unfeasible.
03.04.2019 FM urges ICC to speed up investigations after killing of 2 Palestinians Maan News. Palestinian Foreign Minister is asking the International Criminal Court to speed up investigations of Israeli crimes against Palestinians after occupation troops killed two more young Palestinians this morning.

03.04.2019 House dems will take floor action to confront Omar’s latest Israel comments Politico. by Sarah Ferris et al. Senior Jewish lawmakers like Eliot Engle attacked Ilhan Omar’s comments about Israel’s singular power over American politics.

03.06.2019 American support for Israel in Israeli-Palestinian conflict falls to ten-year low, Gallup finds Haaretz. Israelis like to say they don’t need us but headlines like this keep them up at night. Gallup’s annual World Affairs Survey found that American support for Israel has fallen to 59%, down 5% from last year at this time (!) while American support of Palestinians rose to 21%. Democrat support for the Zionist regime dropped 6% from 49% to 43% and Republican support dropped 13%. *Couple updates: 1. Gallup Polls have consistently been much more favorable towards Israel (even into double digits) than Pew polls. 2. April 17, 2019 article by Grant Smith in Anti-War.com titled; “Gallup Quietly Admits ‘Israeli vs. Palestinian’ Sympathy Polls are Misleading”, throws shade on Gallup methodologies. 3. This Gallup Poll was taken before Rep. Ilhan Omar spoke out about Israel Lobby money buying support for Israel, which may have changed the poll results.
03.06.2019 Concerned about attacking Ilhan Omar, democrats pivot on anti-Semitism resolution Roll call (DC political newspaper) by Lindsey McPherson.

03.06.2019 Israel to demolish family home of Palestinian prisoner Maan News. Israel has made the unsupported claim that a Palestinian man who raped and murdered a young Jewish colonist, committed his crimes for nationalist reasons.

Haaretz/AP Kirstin Gillibrand, criticized Congress woman Omar for saying that Israel lobby money impacts American politics. [this might be a good time to note that Kirsten Gillibrand has bellied up to the Israel-Lobby trough to the tune of $367,000]
03.07.2019 Keep it up, Ilhan Omar Haaretz by Gideon Levy. Israel’s great humanitarian calls Congresswoman Omar, “The most promising U.S. Congresswoman today” and says, “Maybe for the first time in history, someone will dare to tell the truth to the American people, absorbing scathing accusations of anti-Semitism, without bowing her head. The chances of this happening aren’t great; the savage engine of the Jewish lobby and of Israel’s “friends” is already doing everything it can to trample her.”
“When will Americans and Europeans stop running scared every time someone screams “anti-Semitism?…When will the world dare to distinguish between legitimate criticism of an illegitimate reality and anti-Semitism?…Maybe it’s important that she knows there are people crossing their fingers for her?”
“Her success and that of her congressional colleagues, Rashida Tlaib from Michigan and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York, could be the first swallows that herald the coming of spring. This is the spring of freely expressing opinions about Israel in America.”
“What after all, has Omar said? That pro-Israel activists demand, “allegiance to a foreign country,” that “U.S. politicians support Israel because of money they receive from the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC,” and that “Israel hypnotized the world.” What is incorrect in these statements? Why is describing reality considered anti-Semitic?”
To Israel Levy says, “blind support” by the American Jewish establishment “raises legitimate questions regarding dual loyalty….Omar dared to speak about this.” Levy says quashing of any criticism or questioning of Israel is “ not right and it’s not good for the Jews.”
03.07.2019 Anti-Zionist orthodox Jews express solidarity with Rep. Ilhan Omar Daily Sabah.

She should be lauded for differentiating between Jews and Zionists. Judaism is a religion which teaches service to the Almighty, while Zionism attempts to transform Judaism into Nationalism.”
03.07.2019 House votes to condemn all hate as anti-Semitism debate overshadows congress New York Times by Sheryl Stolberg. Trying to censor Ilhan Omar for speaking publicly about influence Israel Lobby money plays in pro-Israel bias endemic in Congress, the democrats found their ranks divided, younger Congress people who aren’t on the take, speaking up, and mainstream Americans are actively listening to a conversation that has not been aired before.
Moreover, the republicans were threatening to draft their own resolution against Omar, then the democrats would have had to choose between supporting their own member in congress or supporting Israel.
Attempting to put brakes on the whole thing, the democrats floated a draft resolution condemning anti-Semitism, and implicitly Omar, without mentioning her name. Many people said, ‘What about hate against Muslims or other groups?’ In the end democrats cobbled together a pointless resolution condemning hate against: Asians, Blacks, Hindus, Jews, Latinos, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Sikhs, other people of color, and LGBTQ’s. [In short, congress condemned hate against everything but White Christians and the kitchen sink.]
03.07.2019 Dem lawmaker: Why can’t resolution ‘singularly condemn’ anti-Semitism The Hill by Julie Brufke. Jewish Congressman Ted Deutch (D-Fl) is upset that hate towards non-Jews is included in the anti-hate resolution. Deutch wanted a Jews-only anti-hate bill. He accused Ilhan Omar of spreading “anti-Semitic lies three times.” [I looked Ted up on ‘opensecrets.org’ Apparently, pro-Israel money rained $599,591 down on Outraged Ted between 2009 and 2018.
03.07.2019 Schumer denounced for ‘Absolutely disgusting’ AIPAC speech Common Dreams by Jake Johnson. New York Democrat Chuck Schumer told AIPAC the reason there’s no peace in between Israelis and Palestinians is that Palestinians don’t read the Torah, which Schumer feels gives the land to Jews. [Worth noting, Schumer has taken over $1.18 million from the Israel lobby—11,800 Benjamins—and who once told a NY interviewer that Hashem (God) gave him his name to be a protector of Israel.]
