OBAMA CAVES TO ISRAEL ON SETTLEMENTS
Anti-War - In May, the Obama Administration was pointedly demanding that the Israeli government abandon all construction in all of its settlements, insisting that no exceptions could be tolerated and the move was a must for peace.
It took less than six months for that position to be abandoned in its entirety. The hawkish Netanyahu government is now relishing a major victory over the US as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised Israel, which has angrily rejected those demands, for their commitment to the peace process.
It seems that President Obama's ambition for Palestinian statehood has given way, in the face of furious anti-Obama protests across Israel, to a 180 degree turn back to the unquestioningly pro-Israel position of the past several US presidents.
Now the Palestinian Authority, once eagerly praising the Obama Administration for pressing Israel, says that Clinton is actually undermining efforts to resume the stalled talks. Since Israel has repeatly ruled out any peace talks with the PA in recent weeks, there wasn't much to undermine, but their frustration is clear.

The Liberty Affair and the Problem with the Truth of History
The truth is not only that Zionism and Judaism are total opposites, but that the return of Jews to the land of biblical Israelby the efforts of manwasPROSCRIBED by Judaism.?. After my wife, my second best friend in the world is my very kosher Jewish accountant. Until this Gentile told him, hedidn’t know that Zionism was proscribed by Judaism. I wonder how many other Jews don’t know.
I also wonder how many Jews, and Gentiles, are aware of the following. Many if not most of the Jews who went to Palestine in answer to Zionism’s call hadno biological connection to the ancient Hebrews. The incoming Zionist Jews were mainly foreign nationals of many lands, descended from those who became Jewish byconversion to Judaism centuries after the fall of the ancient Jewish kingdom of Israel and what is called the “dispersal” into “oblivion” of its people. The notion that there aretwo entire peoples with an equally valid claim to the same land is an historical nonsense. The relatively few Jewswitha valid claim were, are, the descendants of thosewho stayed IN Palestine through everything. They numbered only a few thousand at the time of Zionism’s birth; they regarded themselves as Palestinians; and they were fiercely opposed to Zionism’s colonial enterprise? because they rightly feared that it would makethemas well as the incoming, alien Zionist Jews enemies of the Arabs among whom they had lived in peace and security.
Judaism is the religion of Jews and, like Christianity and Islam, it has at its core a set of ethnical principles and moral values.
Zionism is not only a secular, colonialist ideology, it makes a mockery of, and has contempt for, the ethical principles and moral values of Judaism. Which is why those most often described as “ultra orthodox” religious Jews say, and I believe they are right, that Zionism is destroying Judaism
