Bush probably did make some private agreement. Who cares about an agreement Bush made behind the backs of the American people.

Expect the spotlight on Obama to continue intensifying and his actions to be VERY critically judged, even among the left-leaning media outlets.

I am not saying there is a great Jewish conspiracy. I am, however, saying that Jews are very, very over-represented (compared to their population) in the American media. This is an understandably emotional issue for many American Jews and anything concerning Israel or the middle east generally will get top billing in Tv and print news.

You’ll start to see alot of pro-Israel hard-liners like Professor Dershowitz on TV more regularly the more in depth this gets.

If I were a right-wing Jew I would be careful about throwing around the anti-semitic connection with anti-Zionism, because if the American people come to believe that their security, which they do not equate with Israel’s, depends on the Israeli’s giving back the land they stole, they may well become anti-Semitic. These people are putting a loaded shot-gun to their own head.

At least we have a near-term precedent for how we should treat an apartheid single-state solution. Granted, the Union of South Africa was white-supremist state and they were a relatively small and inconsequential minority in the U.S. compared to the number and power of the American Zionists.

It would depend upon negotiations as to where the borders of a new Palestine should be drawn.

Wow. Talk about desparation. I mean, it’s one thing to not really acknowledge Obama on the whole settlement issue, we all figured that would happen with Netanyahu as PM, but these demonstrators are absolutely bonkers. Antisemetic for opposing settlement expansion? Well, I guess if that’s the lone qualification for being an antisemite these days then file me under jew hater because I see the settlements, like the rest of the world does, as highly illegal and immoral and feel they should stop immediately and be forced to pull out of settlements in West Bank and Gaza. But hey, what do I know? According to them, I’m an antisemite.

demographic trends among Palestinians between the Mediterranean and the Jordan favor a future in which they outnumber Jews, heralding the real destruction of the state of Israel.

This is not true. Israel will simply become best case scenario, a binational state; worst case, an apartheid state. The two state solution died in the 90s with Oslo. We need to keep straight that while the Israeli policy of apartheid is unjust and must fail. The standard two state solution isn’t realistic either. We need to stop these false debates and start talking about solutions that are grounded in the real world.

So, in a two-state solution, those settlers would become citizens of Palestine, i.e., Palestinians, by definition. And, what’s so wrong with that?

OT: Abramoff seems to be having a bit of a problem, along with everybody else these days. Welcome to the real world, Jack!

This makes, according to one recent poll, 60 percent of American Jews anti-semites.

Why do American Jews hate the Jews?
