NOVANEWS DR ALAN SABROSKY, FORMER DIRECTOR OF STUDIES AT THE US ARMY WAR COLLEGE “ISRAEL DID IT” By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Meet Dr. Alan Sabrosky, a brave man, a USMC Vietnam vet, an American of Jewish ancestry and someone devoted to the security of the United States at any cost. Ask any Jew what it takes to stand up against the most powerful and ruthless group in the world, the Israeli lobby inside the United States. VIEW COMPLETE VIDEO INTERVIEW AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE YouTube - Veterans Today - Sabrosky has been calling for a new 9/11 investigation for some time. What makes him unique is that we have a Jew who can hardly be called “self-hating” or “anti-Semitic” or against Israel. He is consistent in everything he says. His point is that you are an American or you...

NOVANEWS by Philip Weiss MJ Rosenberg at media matters lays out the power an American president can exercise over Israel, and the lobby’s fear of his doing just that. Rosenberg doesn’t fully explore the hidden dimension here– of course it’s our national interest and of course Obama has power, why hasn’t he exercised it? My answer is that Rahm Emanuel wasn’t chief of staff in ‘80; the lobby is stronger today than in Reagan’s day. It’s in its late classical period and verging on decadence, but it’s got Obama hoodooed re 2012: When I worked at AIPAC the first time, its founder and executive director, I.L. Kenen, told me this:  "My worst fear is that a President of the United States will get on television and say to the American people, ‘I have made the following request to the Israeli gove...

NOVANEWS Blitzer not happy with the state of US-Zionist regime relations.

NOVANEWS "Right after Biden’s remarks were reported by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Mark Perry, a Middle East expert with excellent contacts in the US military, described a briefing that senior officers working directly for General David Petraeus, the head of Central Command, gave on 16 January to Admiral Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The central message Petraeus sent to Mullen, according to Perry, was that ‘Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardising US standing in the region… and could cost American lives.’ Apparently, Mullen took this message to the White House, where it had a significant impact on the president and his chief advisers. Biden’s comments to Netanyahu appear to reflect that view." Nothing will change...

NOVANEWS  Elliot Abrams and local neoconservatives to Israeli public: Obama intends to topple Netanyahu Didi Remez | March 18, 2010 at 11:53 | Tags: Israeli Neoconservatives | Categories: Diplomacy, Hasbara, Israeli Neoconservatism, Jerusalem | URL: http://wp.me/pHlQV-r2 In a Tuesday (March 16 2010) interview with the Jerusalem Post, the Anti-Defamation League's Abe Foxman took criticism of the US administration's handling of the current confrontation to a new frontier. Israel should immediately battle a charge emerging in the US that its actions are endangering the lives of US soldiers, because it is a particularly “pernicious” argument that “smacks of blaming the Jews for everything.” Later in the in the article we learn that the purveyor of this blood libel is no other than Vic...

NOVANEWS While this appeal would appear to be mainly for Jews, I see no reason why non-Jews should not sign.  After all, many non-Jews (US political figures, et al) appear at AIPAC conferences to speak and applaud.  Nor is this solely an American issue, since what happens in the ME impacts on others, too.  The world should be able to stand up and shout: AIPAC DOES NOT SPEAK FOR US!

NOVANEWS U.S. Tells Zionist regime: “You Are Undermining America, Endangering Troops” The “special relationship” is dead, learn some of the “why” being kept from you By Gordon Duff Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Clinton and Joint Chief’s Chairman Mike Mullen have all recently visited Israel on two issues, reliable information that Israel was planning an attack on Iran, a plan designed to push America into a war our leaders believe is both wrong and likely to risk a global nuclear confrontation with Russia and the building of a massive housing project on the Arab side of Jerusalem in violation of numerous agreements, a project that is likely to cause a spike in world terrorism and send thousands of new fighters to Afghanistan to face American forces there. This is the ...

NOVANEWS If you keep heckling the Israeli ambassador to the US during a talk at UC Irvine, the school has a right to throw you out of the room. And if you violate school standards, they have a right to take you to task on such violations as long as they consistently apply the standards to all students.  Any student protester knows this and makes the choice to risk those outcomes when they choose disruption over, say, really uncomfortable questions. But do they have the right to arrest you? Amazingly, 11 Muslim students at UC Irvine weren’t handed the usual disciplinary action for violating student codes (they each got up, made a statement and then would walk to the door to be escorted out by police). NO, they were actually arrested. I remember doing almost the exact same thing when I was t...

NOVANEWS by David Bromwich President Obama, having dared an unusual show of strength, declined yesterday to reproach Israel for any fault beyond a local violation of decorum. Instead, in his customary manner, he took one step back, one deep breath, and declared: "Israel’s security is sacrosanct." The dictionary definition of sacrosanct is "most sacred and holy." Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, takes up the cue in a New York Times Op-Ed today. As, in a personal letter, the motive for writing often appears in a PS, so in an op-ed by a government official the motive often shows in a single paragraph near the end: "Though Israel will always ultimately rely on the courage of its own defense forces, America’s commitment to Israel’s security is essential to give Israeli...
