A state with all of the responsibilities and none of the rights?
Amira Hass is a great reporter and an amazing human being.
Thanks, Siun.

The Israeli government is arresting protesters as well as journalists and recently critically wounded an American protester, Tristan Anderson. http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn.....g=eng_news

My question is, is this new behavior or has it always been like this and we just didn’t know it? Is the US government inquiring into the critical wounding of Tristan Anderson?

wait a minute!

…a law which forbids residence in an enemy state.

since when does the gov of israel recognize palestine as a “state” - enemy or not? i thought the official line (bs lie) was “disputed territories”

AIPAC and every other Zionist organization in the US, whether or not they receive money from the Israeli government should be required to register as agents of a foreign country under FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act, as amended). These people lobby extensively for policies favourable to and financial aid, primarily military, for the Israeli government.

Thanks for the update. It certainly doesn’t look as though we will get any help from obama and rahm in trying to get the Israel/Palestine problem cleared up in my lifetime.
