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 GORDON DUFF: SABROSKY INTERVIEW TIES ISRAEL TO 9/11 March 19, 2010 by Gordon Duff 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 c...

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...

NOVANEWS ‘If Netanyahu has jolted Joe and others out of their romantic reveries about Israel, good. At least now we no longer see as through a glass darkly’ By Patrick J. Buchanan Actually, Joe set himself up. From the moment he set foot on Israeli soil, our vice president was in full pander mode. First, he headed to Yad Vashem memorial, where he put on a yarmulke and declared Israel “a central bolt in our existence.” “For world Jewry,” Joe went on, presumably including 5 million Americans, “Israel is the heart. … Israel is the light. … Israel is the hope.” Meeting Shimon Peres the next day, Joe confessed that when he first visited at age 29, “Israel captured my heart.” In Peres’ guestbook, he wrote, “The bond between our two nations has been and remains unshakeable.” He then told Peres...

NOVANEWS by James Buchanan An ex-president of Italy, Francesco Cossiga. has told the respected Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera that “the disastrous (911) attack was planned and realized by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and to persuade the Western powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan.” This is truly outstanding news! This statement supports the suspicions of the 911 truth movement, which rejected the “official” 911 explanation from the government long ago. Most people –once they study the facts and details of the World Trade Center collapse– immediately become suspicious about the government account. Why did the World Trade Center 7 building collapse –even though it had NOT been hit by an airplane? ...

NOVANEWS Tim King Salem-News.com Israeli influence over U.S. policy is reaching new record levels, as word is announced that the U.S. is moving serious weapons into place for a possible strike on the people of Iran. Courtesy: payvand.com (SALEM, Ore.) - Iran has never attacked another nation, and according to the international group that oversees nuclear activities, Iran is not developing nuclear weapons. Israel, on the other hand, possesses at least 150 nuclear warheads that could take the world out several times over. Undeclared nukes illegal with the world community. Who should we really question? Iran's infrastructure does not support the ability and the country has firmly stated that it is not developing nuclear arms, only nuclear power, like so many other countries on this ea...

NOVANEWS Has the vice president gone missing? Or is he hiding in a secure undisclosed location? Strong words delivered by Joe Biden during his visit to Israel were widely reported last week. “This is starting to get dangerous for us,” Biden warned his Israeli hosts. “What you’re doing here undermines the security of our troops who are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. That endangers us and it endangers regional peace.” Many in Washington were apparently so shocked that Biden could have said something like this, they were, for several days, dumb-struck and rendered immobile. One of the first to regain his senses was Jeffrey Goldberg. It can’t be true, Goldberg thought, and then set about getting to the bottom or at the very least the periphery of the story. Where would one turn if...

NOVANEWS A former member of John McCain’s braintrust, neocon RobertKagan is in the Washington Post to say that Obama’s alienating every other country, not just Israel. This is when my dual loyalty light goes on. Why aren’t these people lining up against a colonialist project? Why is the Washington Post running this stuff? What is their vision of a future of continued Palestinian statelessness and blind American support for that condition? Do these people fly on airplanes?
