- Obama to AIPAC: My goal is to eliminate threat to Israel from Iran.
- "The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat."... "I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon - everything," he said to a standing ovation.
- Excuse me? Who, then, will protect civilization from Israel?
- Israeli soldiers and settlers destroy Palestinian homes and crops. They shoot Palestinian children for amusement. They torture and hold Palestinian prisoners for years. They are starving the people of Gaza. They deny Palestinians the right to travel in their own country -- even for medical care. They use American-supplied planes, bombs, guns and bulldozers to murder Palestinians.
- Israeli settlers and soldiers violently attack Palestinians trying to live in their own homes and on their own land. They humiliate Palestinian women and girls by strip searching them (to see if they have guns hidden in their vaginas).
- Israel bombs other countries such as Iraq, Syria and Lebanon at will. Even after a cease fire had been arranged in Lebanon in 2006, Israel flooded that country with cluster bombs which to this day are taking limbs and lives of Lebanese. Israel refuses even to provide maps of where they left the deadly unexploded bomblets. Now Israel threatens violence against Iran.
- Israel captured and held in solitary confinement for more than a decade the man who blew the whistle on Israel's nuclear weapons program.
- Israel is in violation of more UN resolutions than any other country ever was -- and Israel has been protected from other UN resolutions by U.S. vetoes.
- Israel blocked UN observers from entering the country to see what Israel was doing to Palestinians in Jenin and Gaza.
- Israel recently even prevented Dr. Norman Finkelstein and Bishop Desmond Tutu from entering Palestine to see what was happening.
- Israelis murdered Americans on the USS Liberty in 1967 and crushed to death Rachel Corrie in 2003. No one was ever brought to justice.
- On the one occassion where Israelis were tried for killing a Palestinian at a "checkpoint" the penalty was "one agora" -- an Israeli coin which is so worthless it hasn't been made for decades.
