How the Zionist lobby should be treated (with noise) Posted: 24 Mar 2010 Go girls: WASHINGTON – March 23 – Shortly after announcing Israel’s commitment to defense in his address to the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Gala, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was disrupted by a demonstrator. Rae Abileah, 27, from Half Moon Bay, CA, jumped onto AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr’s private table alongside the stage and unfurled a pink banner that said “Netanyahu: Build Peace Not Settlements!” Abileah shouted, “Lift the siege of Gaza! No illegal settlements!” as she was forcefully removed from the building. A second disruption came moments later from Joan Stallard, from Washington, DC, who shouted, “Stop the settlements!” Today, Tuesday...

NOVANEWS On Monday (March 29 2010) Netanyahu was quick to publicly admonish his inner circle for telling Yediot that “President Obama and Hillary Clinton have toed the line and have adopted a patently Palestinian line. We’re talking about something that is diseased and insane. The situation is catastrophic. We have a problem with a very, very hostile administration. There’s never been anything like this before. Even veteran officials who tended to the relations with the United States say that there’s never been an administration like this one before. This president wants to establish the Palestinian state and he wants to give them Jerusalem.” and “We’ve got a real problem. You could say that Obama is the greatest disaster for Israel, a strategic disaster. It isn’t only Israel that is worri...

NOVANEWS Interview with Zio-Nazi NSC Chief Uzi Dayan Zio-Nazi Radio, March 31 2010 09:13 Narrator Razi Barkai: We wish to discuss these issues with Uzi Dayan, a major general in the reserves, former [IDF] deputy chief of staff, and current head of the National Security Council (NSC) and, I must say, No. 42 on the Likud Knesset list. Good morning, Mr. Dayan. We should not have been surprised. At the conclusion of the Taba talks of 2002, we had the Clinton paper in which he said something that all the American presidents since adopted -- whatever is Arab, is Palestinian; and whatever is Jewish, is Israeli -- and he was referring to Jerusalem. Why are we stunned when it suddenly happens again? Dayan: We are not stunned, but it is simply time for us to say, "no." Every nation has moment...

NOVANEWS WEDO and JQ overlap There is now a Guardian website report on the disruption of a Jerusalem Quartet performance at the Wigmore Hall in London. I'm sure you can read more about it at Tony Greenstein's blog @ (www.azvsas.blogspot.com) because he gets a big mention in the piece: It's difficult to imagine a more pacific backwater than the genteel Wigmore Hall, London's most prestigious chamber-music venue – but that peace was abruptly disturbed when anti-Israel demonstrators disrupted a concert given by the Jerusalem Quartet on Monday lunchtime. Wigmore Hall director John Gilhooly told Classical Music magazine: "The demonstration was evidently extremely well planned. The protesters must have bought their tickets for the concert a long time ago, because they were all sitting in indivi...

NOVANEWS Cutting aid to Israel is quickly becoming conventional wisdom by Adam Horowitz Business Week writer Celestine Bohlen makes a case for cutting US financial ties with Israel: The advantages for the U.S. are obvious: It would save money at a time when the federal debt is zooming out of sight. The sums aren’t great — a drop compared with the $1.4 trillion budget deficit in fiscal 2009 — but it would take some of the sting out of Israel’s stubborn opposition to U.S. policies. Severing the financial links could also correct the perception that the U.S., as Israel’s patron, can’t be an honest broker in the Middle East. That assumption, widely held in the Arab world, was put on the record by General David Petraeus, head of the U.S. military’s Central Command, when he told the U.S. Congres...

NOVANEWS Don’t trust our government to keep us safe from terrorism Next step you hear something in the media about the Australian government being “tough on terror” (and the media cheer-leaders behind them), remember this: A Supreme Court judge has attacked the Australian Federal Police for bungling a two-year investigation into three men who sent funds to Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger separatists. The agents’ action included improperly arresting a suspect and abusing his rights.The AFP’s mistakes occurred during its 2007 arrest and questioning of Arumugan Rajeevan, who is one of three men who will be sentenced in the Victorian Supreme Court today for providing money to a terrorist organisation. Federal agents arrested Rajeevan at gunpoint despite having no legal basis to do so. They refused requ...

NOVANEWS Signs of life inside North Korea After my book The Blogging Revolution was released, I was constantly asked why I hadn’t examined North Korea. I always said it was simply because the internet barely existed in the Communist nation. Now, via the New York Times, a glimpse: North Korea, one of the world’s most impenetrable nations, is facing a new threat: networks of its own citizens feeding information about life there to South Korea and its Western allies. The networks are the creation of a handful of North Korean defectors and South Korean human rights activists using cellphones to pierce North Korea’s near-total news blackout. To build the networks, recruiters slip into China to woo the few North Koreans allowed to travel there, provide cellphones to smuggle across the border, th...
