Netanyahu began his speech by stating “I do see a lot of old friends here and I see a lot of new friends of Israel here as well. Republicans and Democrats alike.” and continued by saying “Israel has no better friend than America, and America has no better friend than Israel”.

What He means is Israel has no other friend but America.

As far as the second part goes, Israel is not Americas best friend,

We were attacked on 911 because of our support of Israel. We are fighting terrorists because of Israel. Billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money is sent to Israel every year in the form of weapons, ammunition and cash To Israel to help them oppress the Palestinian people.

The seeded article makes it onto one of the top ten anti-semetic jew-hating pieces of garbage posted on NV this year.

This from the article shows its true colors:

If you Notice, Netanyahu doesn’t have the Russian accent that is prevalent amongst the majority of Israelis, that’s because he lived a majority of his childhood in the United States.

Sorry if you don't recognize racist statements as I identified in #2.

Unless, of course, you agree with them or just don't know the difference.

That is a comparison with other israeli extremist leaders like Lieberman and his associates who are east European, Russian implants and do have the east European / Russian accents. This is not racists but I see the only advantage that goes to Netanyahu that he can speak to Americans without hesitation while the others will be no match to him in this sense.

That is not what it said verbatim. I believe the term majority of Israeli's is used.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel

68.8% were born in Israel
21.6% were born in Europe and America
9.6% born in Asia and Africa

The majority of Israeli's are irrespective of religion "Arabic Speaking" who are discriminated against and have little say in Israeli govermental/political affairs that are controlled by the European migrated majority which has a big chunk from Russia. When the author says that he means majority running the government and politics - the extremists anti-arab.

Why? for saying Israelis are immigrants? Seems your posts amount to nothing but unfounded accusations of racism whenever something differs from your view.

Sorry if you don't recognize racist statements

The irony dripping from that...

There is no such "race" as "Jewish", therefore there is no "racism" in the article. The original Israelis (if the Bible is your source) were Hebrew. Not all Hebrew were Jewish, nor are all Jews Hebrew. Jews or Jewish are followers of a religion called Judaism. As in every religion there are many followers from many different "races" and "nationalities", but to confuse a religion with being a "race" or to intentionally try to confuse the general public into accepting that Judaism is a "race" is not only false and misleading but a bold face lie. A lie intended to place Judaism above all other religions, to say it is special.

Zionists have for years tried to sell Judaism as a "race" for the sole purpose of being able to paint anyone who is against the Jews as "racists". Just as they have repeatedly called the Nazis racists, which anyone with any common sense knows that Nazis were a political party (National Socialists), and as with all political parties there are some within who ARE racists and some who are NOT. Still, being able to point to an opponent and say, "You hate me because I'm a Jew. You are a racist!", is intended to place you on the same list as a Nazi, thereby implying you are just as bad as the Nazis.

The fact is the zionist propaganda machine, with the help of zionist owned and controlled media outlets (no, not ALL media is zionist controlled, just most of the major outlets), has done a great job of trying to sway the average Joe American to favor Israel and feel sympathy for Israel for being this tiny fledgling Democracy all alone and surrounded by evil Islamists; and for Jews in general for suffering so much persecution throughout the years, most notably the Holocaust. Unless you understand the history and goal of zionism you might be fooled by the propaganda.

Former Zionist and son of a Former Israeli Gen. who planned the 6 day war, speaks out about the Apartheid and anti-democratic reality in Israel :

Miko Peled is a peace activist who dares to say in public what others still choose to deny. Born in Jerusalem in 1961 into a well known Zionist family, his grandfather, Dr. Avraham Katsnelson was a Zionist leader and signer of the Israeli Declaration of Independence. His Father, Matti Peled, was a young officer in the war of 1948 and a general in the war of 1967 when Israel conquered the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights and Sinai.

Miko's unlikely opinions reflect his father's legacy. General Peled was a war hero turned peacemaker.

Miko grew up in Jerusalem, a multi-ethnic city, but had to leave Israel before he made his first Palestinian friend, the result of his participation in a dialogue group in California. He was 39.
On September 4, 1997 the beloved Smadar, 13, the daughter of Miko's sister Nurit and her husband Rami Elhanan was killed in a suicide attack.

Peled insists that Israel/Palestine is one state—the separation wall notwithstanding, massive investment in infrastructure, towns and highways that bisect and connect settlements on the West Bank, have destroyed the possibility for a viable Palestinian state. The result, Peled says is that Israelis and Palestinians are governed by the same government but live under different sets of laws.

At the heart of Peled's conclusion lies the realization that Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace as equals in their shared homeland.

Eye opening to say the least.

Ramikay,

Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to congress was a glorious display of total disregard for the rights of the Palestinian people.

I was not aware the Palestinians had a country from which their "rights" would emanate. They rejected the United Nations offer in 1948; so, I guess that makes them a people without a country. I wonder, whatever will they do? If only Yassir Arafat (the wise) was around for advice, surely there would be progress!

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin...your intentional and obvious disinformation campaign fools only those sheeple who prefer to stay uninformed and in the dark.

Your claim that the Palestinians rejected the UNs offer in '48 is utter non-sense. First, there was no such organization called the United Nations in 1948. There was one called the League of Nations, who never "offered" (this being the key word) the Palestinians anything for the most obvious reason that the "Palestinians" weren't calling themselves "Palestinians" in '48, and because they had no set known representative for the LN to submit an offer to. However, the "offer" (which was not an offer but a flat "this is how it is going to be") was never rejected. The day Israel claimed statehood Israel slaughtered an entire village of Arab men, women and children, provoking Israel's neighbors to attack Israel in defense of the Arab populations being indiscriminately murdered. This is all well known facts that even the US has documented, so save your denials for the uninformed sheeple.

That the "Palestinians" were never formally presented an offer (show me one document with the signature of the "Palestinian" representative who accepted possession of the "offer", you cannot because it never happened) in the first place makes it impossible for them to "reject" that which they never received. Additionally, had they been formally presented an "offer" the Arab nations that fought Israel had tried to persuade the indigenous Arab population to flee (for safety) or help fight, either way that little incident called war kind of put on hold any decission the "Palestinians" would have been contempulating. So, as is obvious to all who know the real history of events, there was never a formal offer presented and had there been one the decission on the matter was forced to be deferred by a war.

Let's also consider all the known and recorded attacks and murders committed by the Jewish terrorist groups (Irgun, Lehi, etc.) the years immediately prior to and right up to the day of the war that targeted entire villages of unarmed Arab civilians. The Jewish terrorists left no doubt in any ones mind that they were not giving the "Palestinians" the option to be able to accept that offer that never was. Is it any wonder that the Arab nations that went to war against Israel did so? After more than 10 years of whole-sale mass murders and obvious genocide what nation would willingly accept a neighbor like Israel?

Of course hard core zionist propagandists like to leave out those bloody little details of dismembered children, raped and disemboweled women and beheaded old men, about as much as they like to try to convince the uninformed that the "few" (I guess 40,000 plus armed men is a "few"...if you're comparing them to a full sized army like the in US) Jews who took part in some of these unfortunate incidents did so out of self defense because they knew if they didn't strike first (that's the old "pre-emptive" self defense line Israel still likes to use today to try to justify a first strike) the evil Arabs would surely come for them in the night. For the first 7 years of Israel's statehood they never denied the killings (how could they when they knew the Brits, among others, had detailed records of the Jewish atrocities) choosing to try to minimize it while trying to justify it. Only later did they "officially" deny murdering entire villages. By then they had enough money to pay everyone in an official capacity that mattered to "forget" the facts.

You've never made much effort to hide the fact that you excuse and justify every evil Israel commits Kevin, but even I'm a bit surprised that you make no attempts anymore to sound even a little neutral or unbiased.
