“He wants to know why I keep automatically defending your country every time it gets accused of something.

“You mean an official of the Israeli government is recommending that someone join J Street, or Americans for Peace Now, or Ameinu. Does the Foreign Ministry know about this?”

(Long pause. Sigh) ”I didn’t even want this posting. I wanted them to send me to Costa Rica.”

The blogosphere is buzzing about an essay by Peter Beinart Buy cheap viagra online, in the New York Review of Books. Köpa viagra online, Beinart convincingly denounces the Israel-right-or-wrong mantra of mainstream American Jewish organizations. He is justifiably worried about the future of "an American Zionist movement that does not even feign concern for Palestinian dignity."

But for all of its many good points, Osta viagra online, Pharmacy viagra, his essay betrays a surprising ignorance of American Jewish organizational life. Like me, Maryland MD Md. , Viagra prescription, he wants more American Jews who identify with Israel to publicly distance themselves from the occupation and Israeli policies they find abhorrent. But he apparently believes that traditional American Jews groups and their leaders have the capacity to completely change their stripes and do what he recommends, ordering viagra overnight delivery. According to Beinart:

The heads of AIPAC and the Presidents’ Conference should ask themselves what Israel’s leaders would have to do or say to make them scream “no.” After all, Lieberman is foreign minister; Effi Eitam [a Netanyahu appointee who has openly recommended ethnic cleansing] is touring American universities; settlements are growing at triple the rate of the Israeli population; half of Israeli Jewish high school students want Arabs barred from the Knesset, buy cheap viagra online. Utah UT , If the line has not yet been crossed, where is the line, goedkope viagra apotheek. Delaware DE Del. ,

There is no line and there never will be. Asking AIPAC and the most powerful players in the Presidents' Conference to publicly criticize Israeli policy is like asking a dog to play poker, order viagra cod. Idaho ID , Beinart is urging a violation of the laws of nature, of organizational DNA, Missouri MO Mo. . Buy cheap viagra online, AIPAC and the leaders of the Presidents Conference are--and probably always will be--guided by the credo that differences with Israel can be voiced behind closed doors but never in the open air. Order viagra online, Beinart concludes his essay by urging "American Jewish organizations" to bring to Hillel some of the young Israelis who are regularly protesting the expropriation of Arab housing in Sheikh Jarrah, in East Jerusalem, comprar en línea viagra. Viagra sale, "What if this was the face of Zionism shown to America's young?" That is a lovely idea but it is mystifying that he somehow expects the hidebound Jewish establishment to make it real.

He ignores the recent growth of a ready-made alternative that already exists, Connecticut CT Conn. , Viagra, a decidedly pro-Israel movement that is willing to be critical of Israeli policies that perpetuate the occupation. I am referring to J Street, acheter viagra, Viagra pharmacy, Americans for Peace Now, Ameinu and other groups that are apparently not on Beinart's radar screen, order viagra c.o.d..

In Israel, he notes, 'humane, universalistic Zionism does not wield power, buy cheap viagra online. Ordering viagra pills, To the contrary, it is gasping for air." But he hasn't noticed that it is very much alive in the American Jewish community, West Virginia WV W.Va. , Rabatt kaufen viagra, and there are organizations doing a good job of spreading the credo of this blog, i.e., buy viagra no prescription, Ordering viagra no rx, progressive and pro-Israel need not be an oxymoron. To be sure, the organizations in this camp are still smaller than the groups in the Israel-right-or-wrong crowd. But the organized dovish camp is growing, and it is growing louder. Beinart's smart essay correctly diagnoses the disease but desparately reaches for a cure among groups like the Presidents Conference and AIPAC, instead of identifying the real sources of hope and health in the American Jewish community.

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

The good people of Ameinu Order cheap soma online, have posted what is, in their words, "perhaps THE seminal article in response to the anti-Zionist Left, written by Amos Kenan in 1968. Mr Kenan recently passed away - but he leaves us this important piece."

It was written before it was clear that Israel would be ruling over another people and building roads for Jews only and implementing other policies that people like me complain about, before the post-'67 occupation became an entrenched, maddeningly self-perpetuating phenomenon. The "left" he describes was still dominated by the authoritarian left (Soviets, Cubans) but the sentiments he identifies, and the thorough demonization of all things Israeli, are painfully familiar. What it comes down to was a widespread refusal to accept not only Israel's existence, but also the humanity of even Israelis in the left-wing opposition. That is also the worst thing about too many people in the current incarnation of the anti-Israel far left: they deny me my humanity, they cannot accept the fact that someone who cares as much about social justice as they do can feel a connection to Israel, warts and all, cheapest soma prices, and will defend the notion of a Jewish homeland.

There is much to mull over in this article, too many allusions and arguments to sum up glibly, order cheap soma online. For me, the most memorable aspect is rather simple: a die-hard Israeli leftist who opposed the Zionist orthodoxy of his day understood that Israel WAS threatened with destruction, and --except for the Americans --no one seemed especially concerned about it. That perspective is denied and mocked by the current, increasingly fashionable anti-Israel narrative, which wrongly blames Israel for every war it has fought and every enemy combatant it has killed. One sees here, in poignant detail, an agonized version of the seige mentality that still controls Israeli decisionmaking, haunting someone who would have given up the territories in a second, Soma kopen, but for the threats and the terrible international isolation.

Here it is, in full without further commentary (it's a bit long, so be patient and wade through it):

A Letter to all Good People

By Amos Kenan
I am for Cuba. Order cheap soma online, I love Cuba. I am opposed to the genocide perpetrated by the Americans in Vietnam. But I am an Israeli, therefore I am forbidden to take all these stands. Cuba does not want me to love her. Someone has decided that I am permitted to love only the Americans. I don't mind so much that someone, especially the good people everywhere, have decided to outlaw me, order cheap soma online. I shall be able to get along without their help. But I do mind that I am not permitted any longer to love and hate according to my feelings, and according to my political and moral inclinations, and that I am refused invitation or even admittance to parties held by the good people, soma without prescription. I am not permitted any longer to toast justice with a glass of champagne. I am not permitted to eat caviar and denounce the Americans. Order cheap soma online, I am not permitted to stroll in the sun-drenched streets of Havana, arm-in-arm with my erstwhile good friends from St. Germain, Via Veneto and Chelsea, and celebrate the memory of Che Guevara, casting a threatening look at imperialism. I am also finally and absolutely forbidden to sign petitions of all sorts for human rights.

This situation drives me slightly out of my mind. Therefore I wish to relate a few confused, disconnected stories. Perhaps some good man will find the connection, order cheap soma online. One day an Israeli submarine sank in the Mediterranean with its 69 crew members. Oklahoma OK Okla. , Its SOS was answered, among others, by the British, Turkish and Greek fleets. The Russian navy, which cruised very close to the location, did not join in the search. Moscow radio, in its Arab broadcasts, took the trouble to denounce the countries whose ships rushed to help the lost submarine. Order cheap soma online, It is a sacred principle of seamen of all nations to hasten to the aid of distressed vessels. The Israeli submarine was not on a war mission, and Israel is not in a state of war with the Soviet Union.

I am not so naive as to believe that this is anti-Semitism, Maryland MD Md. , Soviet style. I have never believed that the Russians are guided, in their calculations, by such powerful and sincere emotions as anti-Semitism, which is common to both progressive and reactionary camps. I know that the Russians conduct a cool and considered pragmatic policy, and are guided by clear political considerations. This was a political move, carried out as a part of a political game, order cheap soma online. The meaning of this move can only be: Israel must be isolated from the civilised human community. The rules that apply to the civilised community, rules of honour, consideration and mutual aid, Cheap soma online cheap, do not apply to me. I am out. There is only one more step to the conclusion: the shedding of my blood is no crime. Order cheap soma online, Forgive my brutal way of putting things. I cannot conceive of it otherwise. If this was a move in a game, the game must have an object. The object is the penetration of the Middle East, and let us assume, for the sake of arguments, that this is for the purpose of advancing world revolution and the overthrow of imperialism. The Middle East contains 100m. Arabs and 2.5m, order cheap soma online. Israelis. But it is not so easy, soma no prescription, in our enlightened world, to wipe out 2.5m. people. A reason, and a justification, are needed. Order cheap soma online, You cannot wipe out just like that. First of all you must outlaw. Therefore you must not invite an Israeli communist party to a convention of communist parties. Therefore you must not invite a leftist Israeli author to a conference of leftist authors in Havana. There are no more class distinctions. There are only national distinctions, order cheap soma online. Even an Israeli leftist is an imperialist. Nevada NV Nev. , And an oil sheikh is a socialist. Therefore it is permissible to compare me to the Nazis. It is permissible to call me a Gauleiter. Order cheap soma online, It is permissible to mobilize all of the world's conscientious people against me—and without them you cannot do it—and all this because there is an object looming beyond the horizon, an object for the sake of which this tactic is justifiable and useful.

Until quite recently, I also belonged to the Good People. Meaning that not only did I sit in cafes and sign petitions for the release of political prisoners in countries not my own, not only did I join proclamations, after sipping my aperitif, for the release of the downtrodden from the yoke of imperialism in places I shall never reach; I also did something against what seemed to me to be oppression and injustice in my own country. During the 20 years of the existence of the State of Israel I helped with my pen, in my regular newspaper column, the fight against the injustices committed against the Arab minority. And not by the pen only, soma online kaufen, but also in demonstrations, and also when arraigned before a military tribunal. I am used to being called a traitor by local patriots, order cheap soma online. During the Six Day War, in June 1967, the battalion I served in was ordered to supervise the demolition of four Arab villages: I considered it my duty to desert from my unit, to write a report of this action, and to send the copies to the General Staff of the army, to members of the government and to Knesset members. This report has been translated and circulated in the world as a proof of Israel's crimes.

But permit me to conclude the story. The action I undertook was in flagrant violation of any military law. Order cheap soma online, I have no idea what would have happened to a Red Army soldier were he to violate national and military discipline in such a manner. Comprare soma sconto, After returning to my unit, I was ordered to present myself—I, in rank a private—before the general commanding all the divisions on that front. He told me that he had read my report, and considered it his duty to inform me that what had occurred was a regrettable error, which will not recur. Deep in my heart I disbelieved his statement that this was only a mistake. I was convinced that whoever ordered such an action did not expect such resistance from within—the men of my battalion refused to carry out the order—and was alarmed at the impression such an action might create abroad. But I was glad that he found it necessary to announce that this was only an error, order cheap soma online. I asked him how he intended to ensure that the 'error' will never recur. On the spot he signed an order permitting me free movement in all occupied territories, so that I could see with my own eyes that such an action had not recurred.

But since then, in all the peace-papers in the world, generic soma, my report about the destruction of villages has been reprinted over and over again, as if it happened only yesterday, as if it is happening all the time. And this is a lie. Order cheap soma online, It is like writing that witches have been burnt at the stake in England—omitting the date. I hereby request all those who believed me when I reported a criminal act, to believe me now too. And those who do not believe me now, I hereby request to disbelieve my former report too, and not to believe me selectively, according to their convenience. I should also add that the town of Kalkiliya, Price of soma, which began to be demolished during the writing of my report, is now in the process of being rebuilt, after the expelled inhabitants have been brought back.

This does not mean that other injustices are not perpetrated now. The less you fight me, the more you would help me fight them, order cheap soma online. Even the most leftist of men will not consent to be slaughtered when a sword is pointed at his throat. Even when the sword is a progressive one, it does not make it any the pleasanter. The trouble is that not a single serious person in the world believes today that Israel was really in danger of being annihilated. This is the optical illusion of 1968. Order cheap soma online, The gigantic Goliath is threatening little David. The fact that Goliath is a giant, and that David is small, is only an optical illusion. If Goliath triumphs and tramples David under his feet, cheap soma online, it is a sign that he really is a giant. But if little David beats the giant, people say: the giant David has trampled poor little Goliath in the dust. I claim that Israel played the role of David. And I claim that even now, after the stunning victory, it still is little David who has indeed beaten the stunned Goliath, but Goliath still is a menacing giant, order cheap soma online. Today, no less than in June 1967, Israel is in danger of annihilation. Unless the enlightened world mobilises now, immediately, perhaps it will be too late. But I am afraid that there are not many people in the world today who will be sorry if victorious David is destroyed. South Dakota SD , A bitter suspicion rises in me that even the most enlightened among the most progressive people still adhere to the Christian tradition that they imbibed with their mothers' milk: Jew, stay on the cross. Order cheap soma online, Never get off it. The day you get off the cross and hurl it at the heads of your crucifiers, we shall cease to love you. Today the Arabs boast of waging a revolutionary guerrilla warfare. They claim to have copied the Viet Cong method of warfare and to apply it in the Middle East. They march with Che Guevara's picture. This makes me laugh, order cheap soma online. Just as Che Guevara's picture hanging in the luxurious salons of Montparnasse made me laugh. I have always wondered whether Che Guevara had a picture of Che Guevara hanging in his salon. What is a Viet Cong. The Viet Cong is not white flags on buildings. Order cheap soma online, The Viet Cong means fighting to the last man. The Viet Cong of the Middle East, whether those who demonstrate with Che Guevara's picture like it or not, New Hampshire NH N.H. , are we. We are prepared, at any moment to wage the battle to the death. After the death camps, we are left with only one supreme value: existence.

Our existence today, is inconvenient for those who work at the global balance of power. It is more convenient that there should be two camps, one white, the other black, order cheap soma online. We number, as I said before, only 2.5m. people. Billige soma Apotheke, On the global map, what is the value of a few hundred thousand leftists, opposing the Eshkol government policy and striving for a genuine peace with the Arabs, who strive to liberate themselves from the one-way dependence on American power. Somebody has already decided to sacrifice us. Order cheap soma online, The history of revolution is full of such sacrifices since the days of the Spanish War. At one time world revolution had been sacrificed on the altar of the revolution in one country. Today the calculation is somewhat subtler. Today they try to explain to us that there is an Arab socialism. That there is an Egyptian socialism, and an Algerian socialism. There is a socialism of slave-traders, and a socialism of oil magnates, order cheap soma online. There are all kinds of socialism, all aiming really at one and the same thing—the overthrow of imperialism, which happens to be one and indivisible, buy soma c.o.d.. Once there was only a single kind of socialsm, which fed on principles, some of them moral. On the day that morality died there was born the
particular, conventional socialism, changing from place to place and from time to time, for which I have no other name but National Socialism.

I want to live. Order cheap soma online, What can I do if Russia, China, Vietnam, India, Yugoslavia, Sartre, Russell, Castro, have all decided that I am made all of a piece. It is inconvenient for them to admit that there is an opposition in Israel too. Why should there be an opposition in Israel if in the Popular Democracies in Cuba or Algeria, there is only one party. Soma online kopen, And perhaps they do have pangs of conscience, but they have made their calculation, and found out that I am only one, only 10, only 100,000; and on the other side there are tens of millions, all led like a single man, in a single party, towards the light, towards the sun. And if so, who am I. I will tell you who I am: I am the man who will confuse and confound your progressive calculations, order cheap soma online. I have too much love for this vain world, comprar soma de descuento, a world of caviar, television, sunny beaches, sex and good wine. You go ahead and toast the revolution with champagne. I shall toast myself, my own life, bottle in one hand, rifle in the other. You send Soviet arms to Egypt. Order cheap soma online, You isolate me. And in order to make it easier to isolate me, Soma farmacia a buon mercato, you change my name. My flesh, which you eat, you call fish. You don't want to protect me— neither against the Arabs, nor against the Russians, nor against Dayan or Johnson.

Moreover, when I try to call on you and tell you that I am against Dayan, against Eshkol, against Ben-Gurion, and ask for your help, you laugh at me and demand that I should return to the 4 June borders, Alabama AL Ala. , unconditionally. Hold it, order cheap soma online. I refuse to play this game. If you give me back the pistol with which I tried to kill you, I won't kill you. Because I am a nice fellow. But if you don't give it back to me, I shall kill you, because you are a bad fellow. Order cheap soma online, Why were the 4 June borders not peace borders on 4 June but will become peace borders now. Why were not the U.N. partition plan borders of 1947 peace borders then but will become so now. Why should I return the bandit his gun as a reward for having failed to kill me. Kjøpe soma, I want peace peace peace peace peace peace peace. I am ready to give everything back in exchange for peace, order cheap soma online. And I shall give nothing back without peace. I am ready to solve the refugee problem. I am ready to accept an independent Palestinian state. I am ready to sit and talk. Order cheap soma online, About everything, all at the same time. Direct talks, indirect talks, all this is immaterial. But peace. Until you agree to have peace, I shall give back nothing. And if you force me to become a conqueror, I shall become a conqueror, cheapest soma online. And if you force me to become an oppressor, I shall become an oppressor, order cheap soma online. And if you force me into the same camp with all the forces of darkness in the world, there I shall be.

There is no lack in Israel of rabid militarists. Their number is steadily increasing, the more our isolation becomes apparent. Nasser helps Dayan, Kosygin helps Eshkol. Order cheap soma online, Fidel Castro helps the Jewish chauvinists. Who of the world's giants cares how many more Jews, how many more Arabs, bleed to death in the Sinai sands. There is no lack here of mad hysterical militarists. Order soma, All those quiet citizens who went out to war with K.L.M. handgrips and in laundry trucks, who scribbled on their tanks: 'We want Home' . All those who fought without anger, without hatred, only for their lives, are becoming militaristic, convinced that only Israeli power, and nothing else in the world, will ever help us, order cheap soma online.

The only ones who are prepared to defend me, for reasons I don' t like at all, are the Americans. It is convenient for them, for the time being. You are flinging me towards America, the bastion of democracy and the murderer of Vietnam, who tramples the downtrodden peoples and spares my life, who oppresses the Negroes and supplies me with arms to save myself. You leave me no other alternative, Kentucky KY Ky. . Order cheap soma online, You don' t even offer me humiliating terms, to be admitted through the rear door into the progressive orgy. You don' t even want me to overthrow my government. You only want me to surrender, unconditionally, and to believe the spokesmen of the revolution that henceforth no Jewish doctors will be murdered, and that they will limit themselves to the declaration that Zionism is responsible for the riots in Warsaw.

Very funny. The truth is that I and Sartre, two people with the same vision, more or less, with the same ideal, more or less, and if I may be permitted to impertinence, with the same moral level, more or less, are now at the two sides of the barricade. We have been pushed to both sides by the cold calculations of the people who sent us, or abandoned us, order cheap soma online. But the fact remains—these are not Americans shooting Russians, or capitalists shooting socialists, or freedom-fighters shooting the oppressors. It is I, shooting Sartre. I see him in my gun sights; he sees me in his gun sights. I still don' t know which of us is faster, more skilled, or more determined to kill or be killed. Order cheap soma online, Neither do I know who shall be more lucky—the one who has no other alternative, or the one who acts out of choice. One thing is clear to me; if I survive, I shall mourn Sartre's death more than he would mourn mine. And if that happens, I shall never be consoled until I wipe from under the heavens both the capitalists and the communists. Or they me. Or each the other. Or all destroy all. And if I survive even that, without a god but without prophets either, my life will have no sense whatsoever. I shall have nothing else to do but walk on the banks of streams, or on the top of the rocks, watch the wonders of nature, and console myself with words of Ecclesiastes, the wisest of men: "For the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun."

Order Soma Without Prescription
Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Order soma without prescription, The pro-Israel peace camp, my camp, has been content to settle for incremental American diplomacy. We've rallied around the Obama team and its call for freezing settlements, Cheapest soma, for small but friendly policy changes from the Arab states, for "confidence-building" measures. That incremental approach didn't work in the 1990s, ordering soma overnight delivery, but we are hoping beyond hope that somehow it will work this time, Order soma from canada, and that this American administration knows what it is doing.

But Jimmy Carter, James Baker, Um soma online, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft want no part of this piecemeal diplomacy. Buy soma cheap, In videotaped interviews with Landrum Bolling that are being promoted and distributed by the Foundation for Middle East Peace, they urge the U.S. to be more ambitious, order soma without prescription. All of them want the U.S, soma prices. to find a way to talk to Hamas. Acheter soma bon marché, Scowcroft and Brzezinski urge the U.S to delineate precisely what the final agreement should look like. "The President needs to step up and say,`This is an American proposal, generic soma,'" Scowcroft asserts. Order soma without prescription, "Outline the parameters...Change the ballgame."

Three of these men (not Scowcroft) have been reviled for many years by the Israeli right and its supporters here. Kjøpe soma online, That is reason enough to take what they say seriously.

Philip Wilcox, ex-diplomat and President of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, Idaho ID , also should be taken seriously. Comprar en línea soma, He has been watching incrementalism fail for decades. His group opposes the emphasis on freezing settlements and he favors Evacuation Now, before it's too late, buy cheap soma. As his right hand man Geoffrey Aronson writes in the Foundation's latest newsletter, order soma without prescription.

As long as the diplomatic focus remains limited to a settlement freeze, Florida FL Fla. , Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will remain within his comfort zone. Netanyahu would prefer to discuss and debate ad nauseum the finer points of settlement expansion, construction perimeters and the like—a contest Israel has always won—than to address the more fundamental issues of borders, where to buy cheap soma, settlement evacuation, Cheap soma online, security measures, Jerusalem, and refugees, Arizona AZ Ariz. , which must be resolved to achieve a two-state solution... Comprare soma, ...[There] will be a diplomatic “opportunity cost” if the settlement freeze debate is prolonged, and the issues of borders, settlement evacuation, pharmacy soma, and Palestinian sovereignty are deferred. Goedkope soma apotheek,

In today's Haaretz, for similar reasons, Zvi Bar'el also comes down hard on the Obamanauts:

As long as the U.S, Osta soma. administration does not present a comprehensive plan that explains its endgame - what the end will look like and what the shape and character of the Palestinian state will look like - the demand for a cessation of construction is pointless...The demand to freeze settlement construction is like the demand to remove roadblocks or cease razing homes; all these demands and similar ones mean only one thing: making the continuation of the occupation a little more pleasant...

What do these arguments portend for the pro-Israel peace camp in America (J Street, Delaware DE Del. , Americans for Peace Now, Ameinu, Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, Iowa IA , etc). Købe soma online, We have focused on justifying the Obama team's insistence on steps that, in the grand scheme of things, are actually very small, order soma cod. Some very wise men are telling us that we are wasting a lot of energy, Acquistare a buon mercato soma, much like the Obama administration. It is time to ponder carefully what they are saying, and to evaluate the wisdom of retaining a blind, hopeful faith in this administration's Middle East policies, and of reflexively supporting whatever it wants us to support

Buy soma, American Jewish groups are engaged in another internecine struggle about the ongoing tiff between Obama-Netanyahu.

The latest tussle was prompted by a statement about Jerusalem last week from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, cheapest soma, Kentucky KY Ky. , the most important umbrella group in the community. That statement, comprar en línea soma, Idaho ID , addressing the controversy over East Jerusalem housing that I've covered in previous posts, was right out of Netanyahu's playbook, buy soma cod. Soma without prescription, It asserted that:

"The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations has long advocated and supported the unity of Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Israel, buy soma overnight delivery. Wyoming WY Wyo. , As such, we believe that legal construction by residents of the city should be allowed as long as it is in keeping with the standards and requirements of the municipality and the national government, order soma online without prescription. We find disturbing the objections raised to the proposed construction of residential units on property that was legally purchased and approved by the appropriate authorities..., buy soma. Buy soma pills, As a united city, Jerusalem’s Jewish and Arab residents should be permitted to reside wherever legal and security requirements allow, bestill soma online. Order soma from canada, Hundreds of Arab families have moved into Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem and the same right should be accorded to Jewish residents in live where they choose in Jerusalem."

The last sentence is classic, Jewish Orwellian doublespeak, New Mexico NM N.Mex. . Comprar soma, It implies that if diplomatically provocative housing built by a right wing American Jew in East Jerusalem were thwarted, somehow Jews would be denied a "right" that is afforded to Arabs in Jerusalem, Montana MT Mont. . Maine ME Me. , The idea that Arabs can easily live in West Jerusalem, which was promoted by Netanyahu, Alaska AK , Pharmacy soma, is hogwash.

The JTA's Eric Fingerhut Buy soma, buries the lead, but sums up the squabble that has ensued:

Five left-leaning pro-Israel organizations have teamed up to release a statement on Jerusalem that backs the Obama administration's opposition to "unilateral actions" in the city and criticizes others for not sticking to "facts and law" when making arguments about Israeli construction there.

The statement from Ameinu, acheter soma bon marché, Lowest price soma, Americans for Peace Now, Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, buy cheap soma online, Osta soma, Meretz USA, and J Street says that "issues of borders and sovereignty related to Jerusalem should be determined through negotiations in the context of a regional, buy soma c.o.d., Where to buy cheap soma, comprehensive resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict" and "unilateral actions that inflame tensions, impair negotiations and make the ultimate resolution of issues surrounding Jerusalem more difficult, φτηνές φαρμακείο soma, are unhelpful and should be avoided at this particularly sensitive moment" -- adding that they support the Obama administration's policy on this issue....

The five organizations also slammed those who have defended Israel's right to build in the area. urging that "those who choose to enter the debate on Jerusalem do so carefully and with arguments based on facts and law - not ideology. For instance, it is a matter of law and of fact that Arab residents of East Jerusalem do not have the right to purchase state-owned property in West Jerusalem - and the overwhelming majority of all land in Israel is state- owned. Claims that somehow Jerusalem's Arab residents currently have the same rights to live where they choose as Jewish residents are simply untrue and provide an inaccurate picture of a city that remains divided based on ethnicity, religion and geography."

The statement appears to be somewhat of a response to a statement issued last week by the Conference of Presidents on the Jerusalem issue. Americans for Peace Now and Ameinu are members of the conference but say they were not consulted about that statement.

Order Clomid
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
A new Zogby International poll Order clomid, shows that 71 percent of Obama backers think the United States should "get tough with Israel" in order to stop settlement expansion, while 26 percent of McCain supporters feel that way. 80 percent of likely Obama voters also agreed with the statement, ``It's time for the United States to get tough with Israel, købe clomid,” in contrast to most McCain supporters. Buy clomid no prescription, No doubt many Israelis and their right wing American backers are mortified by the fact that Obama’s base wants him to do something about the settlement enterprise and to impose costs on Israel if it does nothing. No doubt the far left and other attackers of all things Israeli will rejoice at these poll numbers.

In contrast, kjøpe clomid online, while I am in the camp that wants Obama to have the political wiggle room to take a fair, Rhode Island RI R.I. , evenhanded approach to the conflict, I hope that Netanyahu will NOT put Obama in a position where the President is forced to "get tough" with Israel. Like others on the pro-Israel left, I believe there is no chance to unravel the Gordian knot of the Israel-Palestinian conflict without bold American diplomacy, and the U.S, order clomid. must insist that the settlements project comes to a dead-stop even as it presses for an end to Palestinian violence and incitement, clomid online.

But that doesn't mean that I and my fellow travellers in Americans for Peace Now, Ordering clomid without prescription, J Street, Israel Policy Forum, Ameinu and Brit Tzedek v’Shalom will be happy if the U.S, California CA Calif. . is forced to exercise tough love. Generic clomid, If a bitter public confrontation has to happen, so be it. Order clomid, But it will hurt, in the same way that it hurts to argue bitterly with a recalcitrant family member.

Israeli pundits on the right do not seem to understand this, ordering clomid online legally. Nor do they understand what the pro-Israel peace camp in the U.S. Order clomid without prescription, is advocating. They seem to believe we would be delighted by a confrontation and are rooting for it because of our hostility to the very idea of Israel, and our ardent desire for it to make one-sided concessions, buy clomid cod. A column in the Jerusalem Post on this topic by Lenny Ben-David was entitled, "Rapture over the Rupture." A diatribe from Isi Liebler calls us “fake Zionists “and expresses outrage at “the favorable media exposure provided to fringe groups…, whose prime objective is to ‘balance’ AIPAC activities by lobbying the Obama administration to force Israel to make further unilateral concessions.”

The Jewish right finds it inconceivable for us to believe what we believe and still worry about Israel’s security and well-being, order clomid. In fact, Billige clomid Apotheke, we are taking our cues from experienced Israeli diplomats and other international experts who understand it is fruitless for a well-armed, occupying power to negotiate the terms of a viable settlement with an almost defenseless occupied people, unless a third party mediates and presses both sides to take politically unpopular steps they otherwise might not take, buy clomid.

In my book, Osta alennus clomid, a whole chapter is devoted to interviews with a broad range of Israelis who favor various forms of interventionist American diplomacy, including former diplomats and officials like Shlomo Ben-Ami, David Kimche, αγοράζουν online clomid, Daniel Levy and Ephraim Sneh. Cheap clomid online cheap, None of them want the U.S. to sell Israel down the river by compromising its core security requirements or forcing it to make unilateral concessions; all of them want America to stop both sides from taking steps that will destroy the possibility of a two state solution, and to come up with creative proposals to bridge the gaps between them, Illinois IL Ill. . Order clomid, But even if Israelis feel that way, we are not permitted to, according to the Israel-must-be-left-alone crowd. Moreover, Florida FL Fla. , the fact that we are Americans who believe it is in our own nation’s interests to bolster the forces of moderation in the Middle East is an inconvenient truth they don’t even mention.

While the Jewish right denounces people in my camp for turning our backs on Israel, much of the international left despises us for having emotional ties to Israel and/or Israeli Jews, buy clomid cheap. Believing that Israel is an Evil Empire with no redeeming characteristics, Order clomid no rx, they can only abide Jews who reflexively find everything about it to be contemptible. Any other sentiment is considered "Jewish particularism," a synonym for vile and unjustified tribalism, order clomid pills. Essentially, Maryland MD Md. , they object to our desire to belong to something that is larger than ourselves and smaller than the entire human race.

Sorry, universalists, Osta clomid, tough love for Israel will be tough for me to bear, Clomid online kopen, because my identity as a Jew is bound up with Israel and I am emotionally and spiritually connected to it. Sorry, supporters of the status quo, order clomid online cheap, if I endorsed Israeli behaviour or policies that I believed were deplorable and misguided, if I stopped trying to help progressive Israelis who are trying to fix what is broken in the Jewish state, that would be turning my back on Israel.

If my camp's sentiments and ideas are mercilessly bashed by both the Jewish right and the far left, it is a good sign that the sentiments are justifiable and the ideas have merit.

Cheap viagra online, The best, most original summary of important developments in Israel, the territories and the rest of the region is the "Middle East Peace Report," which is created every few weeks by Noam Shalef of Americans for Peace Now. Kjøpe billig viagra, The latest issue isn't posted on the APN website yet but you should be able to find it here soon. Get on the APN email list and you will receive it regularly, viagra cheap. Idaho ID , Here is an important story from the "Middle East Peace Report." It has not gotten sufficient attention:

JERUSALEM TENSIONS ON THE RISE

A new report by the Israeli Peace Now movement warns that settlers are taking advantage of a “perfect storm” of political conditions to create “new facts on the ground” in Jerusalem “that could later make it difficult if not impossible to resolve the Israeli Palestinian conflict peacefully.”

The report calls on Israel, with the encouragement of the international community, Um viagra online, Ordering viagra online cheap, to act now to prevent settlers from establishing facts on the ground in Jerusalem, noting that when Israel fails to stop settler initiatives in Jerusalem, Georgia GA Ga. , Order viagra overnight delivery, it “is rarely able to muster the political will to ‘undo’ settler facts on the ground.”

The report covers a series of troubling developments from the last month, including the demolition of eight Palestinian homes in tense areas of East Jerusalem and the eviction of one Palestinian family from its home in order to facilitate a settler project in the neighborhood, cheapest viagra in the world. Oregon OR Ore. , Peace Now’s report adds that settler actions “represent a direct and immediate threat to security and stability inside Jerusalem, threatening to set fire to the city, købe viagra. The settlers’ reckless actions, and the failure of the Israeli government to respond, could spark violent reactions and retaliations that could spread far beyond the specific areas of the city targeted by the settlers.”

Three incidents in the city over the past week may be an indication of rising tensions, cheap viagra online. Order viagra pills, On Sunday, an Arab employed by the Jerusalem municipality was stabbed by a gang of Jewish youth, billiga viagra apotek. Ostaa halvalla viagra, On Friday, clashes broke out between Arab youth and police officers at Via Dolorosa, billig kaufen viagra. Köpa viagra online, On Tuesday, an Arab resident of the city was stabbed near the religious Jewish neighborhood of Me’a She’arim, Rabatt kaufen viagra. Kentucky KY Ky. , Police arrested two suspects in Tuesday’s incident, which they say was politically motivated, cheapest viagra online. Cheap viagra online, (Peace Now, 12/7/08; Israel Army Radio, 12/7/08; Ynet, 12/3, 12/4 & 12/5/08)

This raises an important challenge for the American Jewish establishment. Ordering viagra online, As
JTA reports, last week's settler rampage wasn't denounced only by APN, acquistare online viagra, Buy viagra no rx, Ameinu, J Street, Arizona AZ Ariz. , Buy viagra online, Religious Action Center and other "dovish groups"; thankfully, it was also condemned by centrist organizations, order viagra online legally, West Virginia WV W.Va. , including ADL, American Jewish Committee and American Jewish Congress. So the center of the community has finally spoken out against the intolerable behavior of lawless Israeli settlers who defied the Israeli government and human decency, the worst of the worst. These groups expressed outrage when Baruch Goldstein slaughtered Palestinians in the Hebron mosque and now they have done it again. That is welcome news. But will they also denounce brutality that is only a little less overt, yet is aided and abbeted by the Israeli government, like the demolition of Arab homes in Jerusalem and the expulsion of Arab families to make way for new settlement projects, cheap viagra online. Will the organizations take a stand against Jews who don't seem to care if Jerusalem explodes, or if the current conflict turns into an outright religious war between Jews and Muslims who consider Jerusalem a sacred city.

The answer is almost certainly going to be "no," of course. But there are many individuals in all of these organizations who are as appalled as I am about the ravaging of East Jerusalem. What will it take to prompt them to break the vow of Jewish omerta yet again. If not now, when.

Cheap Viagra Online Cheap
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Ameinu is showing clips from a video documentary Cheap viagra online cheap, that got a lot of attention in Israel in 2005 and deserves to get even more attention now. For two years, Viagra online kaufen, Haim Yavin, the venerable Israeli anchor for the government-run Channel 1 TV, roamed the territories with a simple video camera, Um viagra online, talked to Jewish settlers, Acheter viagra discount, soldiers, Palestinians, Israeli peace activists and others in order to document, cheap viagra overnight delivery, in heartrending detail, Koop korting viagra, the moral price of the occupation. The result was a five-part series that the settler leadership tried but failed to prevent from airing three years ago.

Yavin has said he made the documentary "so that I and those like me can’t say we didn’t see it, North Dakota ND , we didn’t hear it, Delaware DE Del. , we didn’t know.” The rest of us also need to stop making that excuse, and face up to the realities that are vividly conveyed by Yavin and the people he interviews

The first, very brief clip on the Ameinu web site focuses on Hebron, order viagra online legally, and includes an interview with a laconic Israeli soldier who describes what it feels like when Jewish settlers casually urge him to shoot Palestinian children. Ostaa halvalla viagra, Also worth reading is a call to action, which proposes an orderly withdrawal of settlers now, before it's too late, cheapest viagra in the world. It does so from a decidedly Zionist perspective which will make both Jewish right wingers and anti-Zionists uncomfortable, but is a message that should resonate with Ameinu's chief, target audience: affiliated American Jews, cheap viagra online cheap.

When the series first aired, Buy cheap viagra, some Israeli reviewers express much more impatience with the settlers than Ameinu does. Here was the emotional reaction from Raanan Shaked in Yedioth Ahronoth (6/1/05):

The breath becomes short, the heart is choked with anger, where to buy viagra. This is the only human response to The Land of the Settlers. Viagra discount, No, there is actually another reasonable reaction: After watching The Land of the Settlers, every caring Israeli, Acheter en ligne viagra, every humane Israeli, Acheter viagra bon marché, should get up next Saturday, go to the settlement nearest to his place of residence, and drag its inhabitants, North Carolina NC N.C. , kicking and screaming, Maine ME Me. , across the road to the side of sanity. This is what comes out of The Land of the Settlers, the personal territories journal of Chaim Yavin, buy viagra no rx, who reaches an impressive professional peak here as a documentary journalist. Cheap viagra online, Although it may not be new on an informative level, The Land of the Settlers will astound you, mainly by placing on the screen, buy viagra online, over the course of many hours, Price of viagra, the hard core of the shameful insanity of the settlers in the territories, along with the tacit approval of the Israeli governments, along with the helplessness of the army…

What makes this video even more important now is that the plight of Palestinians in the territories has gotten even worse than it was when Yavin aired it...Ameinu is also distributing the whole series at a discount, Osta viagra online.

Finally, Billig kaufen viagra, I will extend yet another apology for the infrequency of my posts. I should be able to pay more attention to this blog within the next few weeks, after I complete the manuscript of my long-awaited, Oklahoma OK Okla. , soon-to-be-classic book on America's conventional Israel lobby and what, Order viagra online, if anything, can be done to transform or replace it.

Buy viagra pills, I have read even more drivel than usual about AIPAC in the blogosphere these days, and thought I would explain a few things to those who have never attended an AIPAC Policy Conference.

First of all, AIPAC does not appear to be trying to prod the U.S. to bomb Iran. Rabatt kaufen viagra, If it is, I have not seen any credible evidence, just a lot of inferential yammering by those whose stock-in-trade is to promote the notion that the so-called “Lobby” is a bunch of bellicose fifth columnists.

Here, for example, buy viagra online without prescription, is Justin Raimondo, an articulate libertarian whose Antiwar.com is an increasingly popular source for all things anti-Israel and anti-AIPAC: "Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's visit to the U.S. is part of a concerted effort, by the Israeli government and its American lobbyists, to convince U.S, buy viagra pills. lawmakers – and, αγοράσετε viagra έκπτωση, most of all, President George W. Bush – that the time to attack Iran is now."

At last week's Policy Conference, attendees got a distinctly different impression. Sure, Florida FL Fla. , there was obligatory tough talk about the perils of a nuclearized Iran. Sure, anyone who asserted or hinted that the military option should remain on the table could count on applause in the small seminars and the large plenary sessions. Buy viagra pills, Of course the notion of unconditional dialogue with Iran was an object of scorn. Michigan MI Mich. , And, yes, the action agenda pushed for tightened sanctions against Iran. AIPAC called for its grassroots troops to descend on Congress and urge passage of the Iran Counterproliferation Act in the Senate, and to promote a slightly tougher, New Jersey NJ N.J. , non-binding resolution from Reps. Gary Ackerman and Mike Pence. But, Cheapest viagra, as described by Ron Kampeas of JTA, one of the smartest reporters in Washington:

The language of the [Ackerman-Pence] resolution is sensitive to the political realities of a presidential campaign that has made the possibility of war against Iran a partisan issue: It explicitly counts out military action -- a point hammered home in the AIPAC talking points.

"The resolution specifically states that nothing in the resolution shall be construed to be an authorization for military action," the sheet says, buy viagra pills. "In fact, the sanctions called for in H. Con, ordering viagra no rx. Res. 362 are the best way to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear capability by avoiding military action."

Additionally, the action part of the resolution opens by declaring "that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability, Maine ME Me. , through all appropriate economic, political, and diplomatic means is vital to the national security interests of the United States and must be dealt with urgently."

Notably absent from AIPAC's talking points is any mention of military force -- a prospect that spooks Democrats and would discomfit an organization that prides itself on its bipartisanship. [emphasiis added by DF]

Kampeas is spot on. Buy viagra pills, I suspect a large part of the membership would have been upset by overt war-mongering. I know this is a rather inconvenient truth. Painting the AIPACers with a broad brush as a dangerous, buy viagra, evil band of Likud supporters and war-hungry "neocons” makes it much easier for those who oppose the group to mobilize, and to write angry op-eds and blog posts filled with reckless generalizations that ignore complex, institutional truths. Comprar viagra baratos, Mea culpa: I've written a few of those myself.

Dismissing AIPAC as nothing but a support group or cheering section for Dick Cheney and Richard Perle feeds the hunger of those on the far left and far right for a bogeyman, an organization that can serve, along with Israel itself, as a kind of totemic hate object, buy viagra online, a repository of all that is wrong. I am trying to write a book about the conventional Israel lobby and my task would be much easier if AIPAC could be summed up so glibly, buy viagra pills. But I’m afraid it can’t.

The inconvenient truth is that many of its members and board members are centrist Democrats; they are politically moderate, Cheap viagra online without prescription, at least by American standards. They want the U.S. to keep Israel strong by giving it a qualitative military edge because they believe Israel's neighbors still want to destroy it. Buy viagra pills, They are deeply worried about Iran and the dangers they believe it poses to Israel and to the U.S., especially to American troops in Iraq, But they are not irresponsibly trigger happy. Even Philip Weiss, a hero of the cabal-watchers, viagra generic, was initially a bit perplexed when, in the first policy conference he attended, he found himself rubbing shoulders with attendees and listening to speakers who were moderate, Kaufen viagra, temperate and as desirious of peace as he is (although they don't care as much about Palestinian suffering or Palestinian rights as he does).

My friend and fellow Ameinu board member Judy Gelman, described the AIPACers in an email to the organization's leadership:

Who goes to AIPAC. This year's conference had over 7500 participants, about 1200 of who were students, cheapest viagra online. The attendees also included many large congregational groups. I don't know how many rabbis brought congregants but 4 rabbis were acknowledged as having brought more than 100 congregants with them, buy viagra pills. Two of these congregants were large Conservative shuls from LA, one of which (Valley Beth Shalom) had over 200 participants (the other was Sinai Temple). Acheter en ligne viagra, Stephen Wise Synagogue from NY (also Conservative) was one of the others. So the participants at the Policy Conference are not a group of wild-eyed reactionaries. Kippot are rare and tzitzit almost completely absent. Buy viagra pills, It is pretty much the people you would be sitting next to at Holy Holidays at a Conservative shul. Like most Jews, these are largely Democrats--not the most liberal Democrats, Iowa IA , but still Democrats and mostly from NY, CA, Chicago, North Carolina NC N.C. , Philly, Southern Florida, but also from the smaller Jewish communities like Tulsa, Salt Lake City and Orlando. From these smaller communities, viagra cheap, it is not uncommon for AIPAC activists to overlap heavily with the Federation and local congregational leadership. AIPAC gives these people (mostly people of considerable wealth) a way to connect to Israel politically, and also to connect with their local politicians on behalf of Israel. Order viagra online cheap, What AIPAC "sells" them is a way to be informed about Israel and a way to be involved for Israel.

She's right, buy viagra pills. Most of them are not "neocons." They are just very worried about Israel. They come to these conferences expecting guidance and instruction about how they --and America-- can help to keep it safe. It's not much more complicated than that. What's more, order viagra from canada, although they were urged to suppress partisan poltical instincts, many of them cheered for Obama not only because they were glad he expressed support for Israel; they also cheered for him because they were Democrats and, like the rest of us, Om viagra online, want an end to the Republican reign of error. Buy viagra pills, Of course, there are also vocal, irrepressible militarists in that organization. In a speech to the plenary on Monday night, Executive Director Howard Kohr gave, I think, some clues about the pressures on him from that wing of AIPAC, købe viagra online. After rattling off the many dangers posed by Iran and the need to sanction it, he said:

Now, I have spoken to you and I know you feel a real sense of frustration. Viagra online kaufen, Of impatience. You have asked me, from New York and Los Angeles, what more can we do. You wonder, is there still time for our efforts to work, buy viagra pills.

My friends, I understand your concern.

But I want to make the case to you today that the path of political and economic sanctions is still the best immediate option. There is still time..to persuade Iran through sanctions that its leader cannot vow to wipe Israel off the map. It cannot promise to visit destruction on Israel, and escape the consequences of its actions…My friends, we cannot lose our determination to stay on this path –together we must make it clear that Iran must change its behavior.

Buy viagra pills, He could have gone much further. He could have revved up the crowd to show the attentive world that these American Jews were serious about doing whatever was necessary to take out Iran's nuclear capability. Instead, he urged the AIPACers to trod what was, at least in their Manichean version of reality, a middle path.

I still think they are wrong, these AIPACers, about a good many things. They are wrong to ratchet up tensions with Iran and favor all sticks and no carrots. They have been wrong about Draconian restrictions on aid to the Palestinian Authority and will continue to be wrong in their opposition to evenhanded American diplomacy in the Middle East, buy viagra pills. I still think an alternative political bloc, a lobby for the rest of us that encourages a new American course in the Middle East, is necessary. The stony, uncomfortable silence that greeted Sec. of State Rice when she dared to refer to the "daily humiliations" suffered by Palestinians is reason enough to develop that alternative.

But if we want to change the current, conventional Israel lobby, we need to understand how it actually works and who is in it, not create straw men and straw women.

Discount viagra, Last Friday, I spent the morning at a planning session with the most courageous, inspiring and sensible Israelis I have ever met: the leaders of Givat Haviva, which has been fighting the battle for coexistence and equality between Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel for decades.

At a time when the social and economic gaps between Israel's Arabs and Israel's Jews are gaping, purchase viagra, Discount viagra, these Jews and Arabs are striving, almost defiantly, billig kaufen viagra, Viagra online cheap, to build a "shared society," an Israel where different cultures have a shared stake in the future, comprar en línea viagra, Generic viagra, despite the Nakba, despite the racism, Kentucky KY Ky. , Order viagra pills, despite the difficulties of reconciling the Zionist ethos with the Israeli Arab experience, despite the Arab villages that have disappeared, ostaa halvalla viagra, Ordering viagra without prescription, despite the Muslim cemetaries that have been desecrated by government-approved construction projects, despite everything, billiga viagra apotek. αγοράζουν online viagra, Other American Jewish groups are also engaged in this struggle, including the Abraham Fund and Ameinu, cheap viagra from canada, Acquistare online viagra, on whose board I serve. Recently, buy viagra no rx, Order viagra no prescription, the plight of Palestinian citizens of Israel has been taken up by the American Jewish mainstream, or at least part of it, Ohio OH , Ordering viagra overnight delivery, in the form of an Interagency Task Force on Israeli Arab Issues. That is a coalition of 80 North American Jewish organizations, Osta viagra, Buy viagra online legally, foundations, federations and private philanthropists, Washington WA Wash. , Acquistare a buon mercato viagra, who "support Israel’s Declaration of Independence, including the article that promises social and political equality for all its inhabitants—Jews and Arabs alike."

This is, New York NY N.Y. , Mississippi MS Miss. , to put it gently, a journey up a very steep, kjøpe viagra, perilous slope. It may well be harder to reach the goal of a shared and equal society within Israel than to create a Palestinian state, discount viagra. But the last thing Israel needs is to make the problem worse, to send a signal to Israeli Arabs --one fifth of the population--that they are not full-fledged citizens. That is why a Knesset bill that will be introduced by Likud MK Limor Livnat is not just infuriating; it is obscene. As noted in today's Haaretz:

MK Limor Livnat (Likud) and three other leading MKs from Kadima, Likud and Shas are set to propose this week that the Knesset remove Arabic from its list of the country's official primary languages.

The bill would make Hebrew the only official primary language, and Arabic, English and Russian would become official secondary languages... Discount viagra, "It cannot be, it is not appropriate or reasonable that the status of one language or another in the Land of Israel is identical to the status of the Hebrew language," said Livnat.

"Precisely in these times, when there are radical groups of Israeli Arabs trying to turn the State of Israel into a binational state, it is most urgent to put into law the unique status of the language of the Bible - the Hebrew language."

Her last statement might win this year's prize for the most contorted, creative Orwellian doublespeak. Yes, there are single-staters among Palestinian citizens of Israel, and there are fierce separatists, and there is bitterness and fury and confusion. The answer to that trend is to make every effort to give these citizens equal standing in Israel. Instead, some political opportunists are going out of their way to slap them in the face, to treat them as a kind of irritating afterthought.
