Actually, the US and other Western Countries do not quibble with the UN assignation of the WB & G being illegally occupied. The US has but once changed the terminology to ‘disputed’ but has not repeated that term again.

The UN voted incorrectly to recognize Israel and admit it to the UN because it was controlled by the powers that emerged out of WWII – including socialist states. But if these resolutions can be reversed then so too can all the resolutions favoring the Palestinians.

But yes, the UN is definitely obligated to impose sanctions on Israel – and demand it remove itself from the WB& G and repatriate the refugees as it promised to gain admission to the UN. And if sanctions do not work, the UN is obligated to step up the pressure up to and including military action. Israel should be held to the same standard that Iraq was held for invading Kuwait. That would go a long way towards establishing true credibility to the UN. But that cannot happen without US permission, perhaps when hell freezes over. And I can’t think of a UN force taking such action against a nuclear power.

The Jews routinely blew up and bulldozed mosques, churches and shrines before, during, and after the 48/49 war. Even today, Israel is building a Museum of Tolerance over a Muslim cemetary in Jerusalem. Hows that for Orwellian irony?

To this day, Muslims do not have free access to the Temple Mount. The Israeli military closes it arbitrarily. The Temple Mount will not be free until the Occupation of Palestine ends.

everyone is free to visit israel including free access to all the holy sites in jerusalem.
when the un declared jerusalem an international city,the jordanian-palestinians took over the eastern bit and closed off and desecrated jewish and christian holy sites.
and the un did nothing
it is only since israel recovered the city in 1967 that the world has had free access to all the holy sites including muslim ones

but as long as we keep playing footsie with these “now you see them, now you don’t” Liberals such as Chomsky and pals, nothing will change.

The way to weed out these liberal zionist is for the Left to mount a serious campaign against ALL FORM of Racism (i.e. Zionism) especially in the United States. Clearly there has been a shift as more people are starting to focus on Israel and its practices but there has to be greater focus on how Zionism has affected the U.S. political economy. Confronting Zionism is probably the weakest link in the overall aspects of U.S. Imperialism because there are already foot-soldiers in this battle. It’s up to the Left to help organizes people of color who are ready allies in this battle.

The liberal Zionist especially reveal themselves when it comes to the issue of Racism especially when it comes to confronting Zionism.

Then you put your other foot in the snot bucket with your DNA reference to Israelis/Zionists/Jews – which reference puts you in league with all those reactionairies and racists who think that Jews have different genetic propensities than the rest of us. So you madly go over the record to count how many times I referred to Jews in my posts – only to find out that I use the term intentionally because it corresponds to using Palestinian. But you had already fallen into the trap of not using the term Jews because not all Jews are Zionists. As if all Palestinians, or for that matter, all of any group are one thing.

I’d say you’d be better off on the Green campaign trail, but apparently your anger got the best of you there as well.

Israel crushes Russia in tennis history
Sensational. Incredible. Stunning. Amazing.
Ram and Erlich celebrate a point against Safin and Kunitsyn on Saturday.
It is difficult to find the words to describe the magnitude of Israel’s historic 3-0 victory over Russia in the Davis Cup quarterfinals at the Nokia Arena in Tel Aviv on Friday and Saturday.

Until Saturday Israel had never made it past the quarterfinals of the competition, and reached the last eight only once, 22 years ago when it lost to India in New Delhi.

But this all changed over two days of outstanding tennis.

After Harel Levy and Dudi Sela put the home side 2-0 up with superb performances in the opening singles matches on Friday, Andy Ram and Yoni Erlich finished the job off on Saturday, winning a nail biting five-setter against Marat Safin and Igor Kunitsyn.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu phoned Israel Tennis Association CEO Moshe Haviv on Saturday night to congratulate him on the Davis Cup team’s historic achievement.

Quite. And the gangs that perpetrated those crimes were the forerunners of today’s IDF as a friend has said.

In my opinion Zionism is a part of a whole, namely U.S. Imperialism. I allow myself to remind you that the world is much larger than Israel and the Middle East. I am Against overzionizing the U.S. foreign policy. Thank you again.

The problem has NOT been the “overzionizing” but the UNDER-zionizing to outright deny any Zionism’s influence of U.S. politics

chomsky is for one state nonsolution. Recognition of israel [which does not as yet exist] amounts to rewarding enormous irgun, stern, and haganah crimes against humanities with a state.
i cannot an will never approbate those crimes. Nor will i ever approbate crimes of european evil empires for making those crimes possible.
further more chomsky shld hang his head in shame by urging amers to vote for “lesser evil”.
which is becoming greater evil as i have predicted prior to O’s selection.
It amounted to telling people not to vote for healthcare, free education, and the right to be informed.
which means he is also afascist in addition to being a zionist. tnx
caveat: u get only one more personal attack; thereafter, i do not read anything u write. And, that’s not a political promise!!

As for Chomsky being a Zionism, that’s just willful ignorance, if not slander.

If you want the truth, watch this lecture, in which Chomsky calls Zionism a bad idea:
http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/403

a leftist cannot be land robber. S/he wld condemn wars on a principle and not on a rationalization, ‘explanations’, or expediency.
Chomsky approbates land robbery by israel but probably not land robbing by US.
tnx

Thank you for the explanation. I have no doubt that Chomsky is a Zionist and Zionists in the U.S. know about that. Had he not been a Zionist, he would have lost his tenure as a professor of linguistics years ago. But his political thinking has never interested me.

The propaganda success of the US-orchestrated destabilization campaign even found an echo among broad sections of what passes for the US ‘left’ who ignored the massive, coordinated US financing of key Iranian groups and politicos engaged in the street protests. Neo-conservative, liberal and itinerant leftist ‘free-lance journalists’, like Reese Erlich, defended the destabilization effort from their own particular vantage point as ‘a popular democratic movement against electoral fraud.’

He too uses Left in quotes.

I guess that is a valid point. Unfortunately these “Liberal Zionists” are identified as the Left and they have badly weaken the Left.
