Buy Viagra Free Samples Cod

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Buy viagra free samples cod, Initially, I was delighted to read Jonathan Schanzer's vicious attack on my book in the Jerusalem Post. Until then, Buy viagra free samples from canada, the few reviews out there had been been quite positive (See essays by
Jerome Chanes
, the History News Network's Murray Polner, and Thomas Mitchell), Massachusetts MA Mass. , and I was hoping and praying for controversy of some kind, Cheap viagra free samples online, as books die without any buzz.

But, upon reflection, Louisiana LA , the zero-sum-game mentality exhibited by Schanzer is depressing, Order viagra free samples online without prescription, because it is still widely shared in the pro-Israel community. I suggest you take a peek at the review, called "Fleshler vs, buy viagra free samples without prescription. Fleshler, Comprar viagra free samples baratos, " and then return here.

Welcome back, buy viagra free samples cod. First, it is important to understand how Schanzer earns his living, Osta viagra free samples. He is Deputy Director of the Jewish Policy Center, Cheap viagra free samples tablets, whose advisory board is a veritable neoconservative hall of fame. They are all there, the same people who provided the intellectual foundations of an utterly disastrous foreign policy: Daniel Pipes, West Virginia WV W.Va. , Irving Kristol, Billige viagra free samples Apotheke, Irving and John Podhoretz, William Bennett, Michael Ledeen, viagra free samples farmacia a buon mercato, Ruth Wisse and others. Pharmacy viagra free samples, Schanzer's boss is none other than...Matthew Brooks, who also runs the Republican Jewish Coalition. Buy viagra free samples cod, One of Brooks' notable achievements was an ad campaign that tried to convince Jewish voters that Howard Dean was an ally of Yasser Arafat. Oh, Køb discount viagra free samples, and Schanzer's first boss in the think tank universe was none other than...Daniel Pipes. Buy viagra free samples online legally, Let's leave aside the fact that assigning an employee of that organization to review my book is like assigning Norman Finkelstein to write his impressions of Commentary magazine. What matters is the intellectual bankruptcy of the movement that pays Schanzer's salary.

Schanzer's main beef is that "Fleshler contradicts himself throughout the book."

Here is an example of what Schanzer seems to believe is a contradiction: "Fleshler insists that Israel has a right to defend itself, Pennsylvania PA Penn. , but castigates it for its "appallingly disproportionate response to Hamas rocket fire' during Operation Cast Lead in December 2008 and January 2009."

In other words, Michigan MI Mich. , if you assert that Israel had the right to defend itself from Hamas rockets, the only recourse you could possibly support is "Operation Cast Lead." There is literally no room in this mindset for any other approach. Schanzer doesn't merely disagree with alternatives; he acts as if those alternatives don't exist, buy viagra free samples cod.

Another one: "[Fleshler] admits that the `combination of Hamas, Osta viagra free samples online, Hizbullah in Lebanon and, Buy viagra free samples, of course, Iran's reckless president and nuclear program' has provided ample reason to believe 1938-type dangers loom for Israel. Yet he sneers at the `hawkish tilt' of Jewish groups that seek to impose a blockade on Iran until it halts its illicit activities."

In my book, buy viagra free samples no rx, I identified and sought to explain Jewish fears, Acheter viagra free samples discount, and indicated that the dangers Israel faced were real. But I pointed out that there were other approaches to Iran besides the confrontational tack of the Bush administration, such as those of Trita Parsi and Shlomo Ben-Ami, kopen goedkope viagra free samples. And I lamented the fact that those approaches weren't even on the radar screen of the organized American Jewish community. Buy viagra free samples cod, But in the world according to Schanzer and his mentors, you cannot possibly be worried about Iran unless you want American warships to enforce a blockade. Buy viagra free samples overnight delivery, And here is his summary: "In a nutshell, Fleshler wants Israel to cough up territory and make other concessions to the Palestinians, even if there is no reciprocity, Delaware DE Del. , simply because he thinks it's the right thing to do. Virginia VA Va. , And he thinks that America needs to force Israel to make these concessions."

Nope. The book asserts that both sides eventually need to compromise to stave off utter disaster. There is nothing in there about Israel relinquishing territory without reciprocity, or forcing Israel to make concessions. But perhaps he believes that I actually did advocate those things, buy viagra free samples cod. Perhaps when he is confronted with anyone who searches for a middle ground, an alarmist part of his brain clicks in and convinces him that he is confronted with a complete capitulationist. Because there is no middle ground in his world, no room for subtlety or diplomatic nuance.

Doesn't this sound painfully familiar. This is the school of bludgeoning bone-headed militarism, of Shock and Awe, of all sticks and no carrots, with the credo of shoot-first-and-worry-about-the-TV-cameras-later. It failed so miserably, one would think its advocates would at least keep quiet until they came up with something better. But, apparently, this is the best they can do.

I suppose it's good news that they can't come up with anything new to refute Obama's more reasonable approach to the world, which my book supports. But the bad news is that this mentality is still popular within vocal, still-powerful segments of the American Jewish community

Buy Viagra No Rx

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Buy viagra no rx, It seems that the U.S. is considering a plan to reduce $1 billion worth of loan guarantees to Israel, buy viagra online, Purchase viagra, according to Ha'aretz. The decision will be left to Obama, buy cheap viagra online, Buy viagra from canada, and perhaps it will be part of a larger diplomatic package:

The assessment now is that the Obama administration will weigh the political situation carefully before deciding on a cut to the guarantees and may try to link it with Israeli measures beyond the Green Line.

Will the mainstream pro-Israel lobby in the U.S, ordering viagra without prescription. Texas TX Tex. , rise up in protest. Let them try, buy viagra no rx. It won't work, order viagra overnight delivery. Viagra no prescription, Contrary to popular belief, it didn't work in 1991 either, Florida FL Fla. , Utah UT , when the conventional lobby famously confronted Bush pere in his stand-off with Shamir over loan guarantees and settlement activity. There was a lot of noise, viagra. Discount viagra, But Congress caved. Buy viagra no rx, Bush and Baker got what they wanted. This new Congress is not going to want to mess with Obama over an issue like this, buy viagra no rx, Cheap viagra online cheap, especially not during his honeymoon period. The larger question is, viagra online kopen, Billige viagra Apotheke, would Obama and Hillary Clinton get support from the rest of the American Jewish community that is not represented by the conventional lobby, if the new administration decided to get serious about the settlements or lean on Israel in other ways, viagra farmacia a buon mercato. District of Columbia DC D.C. , Would the rest of America support the Obama administration. There is no doubt in my mind, where to buy viagra. Ordering viagra from canada. Cheap viagra. Acquistare online viagra. Goedkope viagra apotheek. Cheap generic viagra. Buy cheap viagra.

Viagra Online Stores

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

MJ Rosenberg Viagra online stores, writes, somewhat gleefully, that "AIPAC is furious with George Bush for not vetoing Security Council Resolution 1860 which calls for an immediate ceasefire. After almost eight years, the Bush administration has decided not to stand with Israel against an otherwise unanimous resolution." The AIPAC statement notes:

AIPAC...expresses its disappointment with the U.S, Maine ME Me. . administration for succumbing to pressure exerted by Arab states and agreeing to bring this vote to the U.N. Billig kaufen viagra, Security Council - a message contrary to the steadfast and overwhelming support expressed this week by the United States Congress and dozens of elected officials from across the country.

As Franco-Egyptian diplomatic efforts are underway, it is particularly unfortunate that the administration has chosen this moment to engage the Security Council.

How shocking, New Hampshire NH N.H. . A few of the righties are already up in arms, viagra online stores. Here is Anne Bayefsy in Forbes:

Betrayal. Order viagra cod, No other word describes the reversal of American foreign policy that took place on the night of Jan. 8 when the U.S. refused to veto the Security Council resolution on Gaza, purchase viagra online. Viagra online stores, A president whose friendship and alliance with Israel once appeared honest, perceptive and unshakable, decided two weeks before leaving office to throw Israel to the wolves. The resolution calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and does not even mention the word "Hamas."

But I predict that, Order viagra online without prescription, for the most part, the conventional Israel lobby won't raise a big stink about this. The resolution is toothless and will have no impact, köpa viagra online. It is a tiny blip on the radar screen for those monitoring the war in Gaza. Osta viagra, Still, Obama should take note: the U.S. could judiciously, very selectively refuse to veto UN resolutions that Israel doesn't like, and while the vengeful wrath of some American Jews would rain down on the administration, doing so would not be politically suicidal, viagra online stores. It would not even be very risky, lowest price viagra, if the Obama team articulates American interests in the region clearly and forcefully, Viagra without prescription, and if Israel takes actions that are clearly against those interests (e.g, constructing more apartment buildings in disputed territory on the outskirts of Jerusalem).

More importantly, buy viagra online legally, the mere act of abstaining from such UN resolutions would send a powerful message to a vitally important audience: the Israeli public. Idaho ID , In a chapter in my forthcoming book, Transforming America's Israel Lobby: The Limits of Its Power, the Potential For Change, viagra pedido en línea, I asked knowledgeable, Cheap viagra, left-leaning Israelis to share American dipomatic interventions that they believed would be useful if Israel were recalcitrant on, for example, relinquishing West Bank settlements, comprar viagra de descuento. David Kimche, Ordering viagra pills, former Director General of Israel's Foreign Ministry and a noted dove, explicitly focused on the United Nations. He said:

Viagra online stores, “If Israel won’t budge on the settlements, America should publicly denounce Israel’s stand. It should say, Nevada NV Nev. , ‘If there are Security Council debates, Viagra for sale, we won’t use our veto powers.’ If the U.S. denounced Israel and stopped vetoing UN resolutions, it would be a powerful signal, acheter viagra. It would be a major sign to the Israeli public that something was very wrong. Illinois IL Ill. , If this happened more than once, I think the government [of Israel] would be under pressure to back down.”

It would matter because, as former Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami told me, Missouri MO Mo. , “an Israeli prime minister will have no problem getting elected if he argues with Europe. He will have a hard time getting elected if he argues with the United States.” Any sign that Israel's most important strategic relationship might be jeopardized would not be well-received by the Israeli public, viagra online stores. Pharmacie viagra bon marché, Remember, Shamir lost an election in part because of his arguments with Bush pere over the loan guarantees. Even a few small gestures at the UN could help, Kentucky KY Ky. .

I don't mean to imply that, Tennessee TN Tenn. , by itself, a new American approach to the UN would matter a great deal to the Israelis. But it should be in the diplomatic toolkit, buy generic viagra. Viagra online stores, I hope the Obama team remembers what the Bushies got away with at the UN on Friday. I hope they listen to MJ, who has worked on the Hill and has been watching American presidents chicken out on Israel-related issues for decades:

On January 20, Barack Obama. having won a landslide victory -- including 80% of the Jewish vote -- and enjoying record popularity, will be immune to this sort of salvo, leaving AIPAC on the DL.

The Democratic Congres will back Obama's Middle East policies with nary a peep. (That will change if his popularity drops. But Congressional Dems will never take on a popular Democratic President on a foreign policy issue). Obama is freer than any President in decades to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without lobby interference.

By the way, the book is due to be published in April. Note the high praise from Ambassador Sam Lewis on the web site....

Buy Viagra Cheap

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Buy viagra cheap, I can hear the alarms clattering in the minds of neo cons inside and just at the edges of the Bush administration, who have been increasingly upset that the U.S. Om viagra online, is opening the door to diplomatic contacts with Iran. Despite arduous efforts, Ohio OH , Cheapest viagra, they were unable to prevent Israel from (gasp) negotiating with Syria under Turkish auspices. Now, cheap viagra online legally, Viagra en ligne afin, the Syrian ambassador to the U.S., Imad Moustapha, cheap viagra no rx, Lowest price viagra, has sent remarkably conciliatory signals to Israel and the U.S. in an interview with Ori Nir of Americans for Peace Now, order viagra from canada.

The story was picked up yesterday in Haaretz and elsewhere in the Israeli media, but has not gotten the attention it deserves in the U.S, buy viagra cheap. För viagra online, From the APN blurb:

"In an interview with APN spokesman Ori Nir, Ambassador Moustapha said that the current talks between Israel and Syria are "a historic opportunity of making peace with not only Syria and Lebanon, buy viagra pills, Osta alennus viagra, because we believe that in a way or another Syria plays the role of a gatekeeper between Israel and the Arab world..."

"...I was impressed by the ambassador's candor," said interviewer Nir, acquistare online viagra, Buy viagra online cheap, "let's hope that the Bush administration picks up on this encouraging signal of Syrian determination to pursue peace."

According to Ambassador Moustapha, Syria's leaders "have been telling the Israelis for the past fifteen years: We want to make peace, buy viagra online without prescription. California CA Calif. , We believe in a fair and comprehensive peace with you." He added, "the only way forward – there is no third alternative – is to sit with us and make a peace agreement."

Ambassador Moustapha also said: "We at the state of Syria are telling the state of Israel that we desire to end the state of war between us, Arkansas AR Ark. , Hawaii HI , to conclude peace between two states, to recognize each other and to live as peaceful neighbors with each other, ordering viagra online legally, Order viagra no prescription, within a normalized context. We think this is a very serious proposal (…) here is the grand thing on offer: let us sit together, αγοράζουν φτηνά viagra, Viagra generic, let us make peace, let us end once and for all the state of war" between the two countries.

No doubt this will be dismissed as tawdry propaganda by those pro-Israel activists who have never met a peace plan they could live with, Jotta viagra verkossa. Montana MT Mont. , But why in the world would the Ambassador say those things if Syria weren't EAGER for a historic settlement. Someone who has been involved in the Track 3 diplomacy that has moved these talks along told me that a Syria-Israel pact is "low hanging fruit." The U.S, viagra online. Connecticut CT Conn. , is obviously kept apprised of the ongoing negotiations, and is conveying messages, as needed, to Syria as well as Israel. But it is not merely unconscionable that the U.S. isn't at the table, in the full view of the international community, offering to help in every way possible; it is truly insane.

Cheap Viagra

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Cheap viagra, At a luncheon panel on Israel and Iran at the Century Foundation yesterday, I was taken aback by some thoughts shared by Trita Parsi, author of the new and highly regarded Dangerous Alliance -The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran and the United States, and Daniel Levy, the former Israeli negotiator who is now Director of the Foundation's Prospects for Peace Initiative, among other things. Stay with this and you might surprised, too:

Parsi said the rhetoric of Yitzhak Rabin and the Labor Party during the Oslo years inflamed Israeli-Iranian tensions and helped to usher both countries along the path of confrontation, buy viagra online cheap. One of Rabin's principal explanations and justifications for the peace process, Halvalla viagra apteekki, of course, was that peace with Israel's immediate neighbors, including the Palestinians, order viagra online legally, would help to protect it from far more dangerous threats on the periphery, Generic viagra, notably Iraq and Iran. The idea was that progress towards solving the Palestinian problem would make it easier for relatively moderate Arab and Persian Gulf states to help Israel, because it would give the leaders of those states more political cover to act as a buffer against Iran or Iraq, buy generic viagra, and either openly or tacetly ally themselves with Israel. Acheter en ligne viagra, Levy, in turn, said Rabin's rhetoric was mainly a function of domestic politics, District of Columbia DC D.C. , a tool used to sell the Oslo process to the Israelis.

I used to make the same argument just about every time I tried to sell the Oslo process to American Jewish audiences or ghostwrote op-eds for dovish American Jewish and Israeli leaders, cheap viagra. Buy viagra online legally, In 1998, I created an ad for Israel Policy Forum that appeared in the corner of the New York Times op-ed page. There was a photo of a nuclear-tipped missile, Colorado CO Colo. . The headline read something like "The U.S. New Hampshire NH N.H. , and Israel are trying to develop a new anti-ballistic missile system. Cheap viagra, It's called peace." The copy was a reprise of Rabin's periphery theory, and it was all about the dire threats that Iraq and Iran posed to Israel and the U.S. People told me it was pretty clever.

I still think the argument is sound, købe viagra online. But, Buy viagra without prescription, if I understood Parsi correctly, calling Iran an arch enemy and hammering away at the idea that it was an existential threat to Israel only served to alarm and anger Iran's ruling elite. It was among the many factors that helped to encourage Iranian weapons development, kjøpe billig viagra. Ouch, I thought, cheap viagra. Did I, Bestill viagra online, a very very tiny cog in the pro-peace machine, do that.

In the Q&A, viagra prices, I remarked that they had given a frightening illustration of the law of unintended consequences. Oklahoma OK Okla. , I mentioned another: when it was time for Rabin to sell the Oslo process in the U.S., one of his first moves was to try to get AIPAC off his back. So he gave them the Iran portfolio, viagra no prescription, which they eagerly embraced, Ordering viagra no rx, to put it mildly. Cheap viagra, They were actively involved in drafting and pushing the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act and, in a variety of ways, have helped to escalate the tensions that exist today. Mearsheimer and Walt were wrong about the role of AIPAC in the Iraq War, Parsi told me before lunch, buy viagra, but, αγοράσετε viagra, by and large, they were right about AIPAC and America's Iran policies. Had there been no Oslo process, købe viagra, perhaps AIPAC would not have poured as much energy into their Iran-related shenanigans. Order viagra no prescription, My question to the panelists was related to another, possible producer of unintended consequences: America's own "periphery theory," as articulated by the Baker-Hamilton Commission and many other reasonable people, cheapest viagra in the world. The Baker-Hamilton gang -like Dan Fleshler- has asserted that getting more engaged in pushing for peace between Israelis and Palestinians will help America deal with Iran and the mess in Iraq. It would do so by making it easier to establish a coalition of moderate Sunni states, cheap viagra. Buy viagra without prescription, But would an energized peace process also ratchet up tensions with Iran and somehow add fuel to the smoldering fire. (My actual question was less articulate).

Neither answered the question --one of many that were posed to them-- directly, Arkansas AR Ark. . But Daniel did say that, of course, certain players had a vested interest in disrupting an Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and he included Iran on the list. Cheap viagra, So I was left to my own devices, which are not adequate to this task. I will make a shocking confession that will distinguish me from just about every other pontificater on the Middle East in the blogosphere: I don't know enough about Iran to predict the consequences of any action, any diplomatic proposals, anything.

No one who spoke yesterday implied that the U.S. should hesitate to encourage the enduring peace settlement that Israelis and Palestinians clearly and desparately need. Of course it should. Parsi and Levy clearly endorse that as ardently as I do. But they remind us that when we make even a small step in a certain direction in the Middle East, we are playing with forces that could have unexpected effects, with objects that may well collide with each other in unforseen ways.

Ordering Viagra From India

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Ordering viagra from india, So just how much pressure can and should the U.S. apply to both Israelis and Palestinians after the Annapolis conference. Pennsylvania PA Penn. , The "P word" -pressure-- still sends chills down the spines of too many mainstream American Jewish leaders, including those who know full well that, at times, köpa viagra online, Israeli Prime Ministers have desparately needed American pressure to give them the political cover to take politically unpopular steps. Cheap viagra, As part of my research for a book I'm working on, I've been talking to a wide range of left-of-center Israelis about this issue, gauging the extent to which they think the U.S, cheap viagra tablets. should lean hard on the Israelis and assessing the point at which diplomatic pressure will impede, Cheap viagra overnight delivery, rather than enhance, progress towards an agreement. It's a complicated, thorny, emotional issue, one that deserves a more thorough examination that I can muster in today's post, ordering viagra from india. For the time being, Mississippi MS Miss. , I want to share the cool, Where to buy viagra, clear wisdom of Ephraim Sneh, a leading light of Israel's Labor party and former Deputy Defense Minister in the Olmert government.

Sneh told me last year that he believed U.S, ordering viagra without prescription. pressure on Israel was justified when Israel was not living up to its obligations to the U.S. Oregon OR Ore. , "Israelis don't want to be `freyers' [Hebrew for `suckers']. To be a freyer Ordering viagra from india, is a fate worse than death to most Israelis. And they understand that Americans don't want to be freyers either." Therefore, he said, viagra pills, Israelis would support or at least not object too strongly if the U.S. Where to buy cheap viagra, prodded Israel to keep the promises made in the road map.

On Sunday, at a board meeting of Ameinu, order viagra without prescription, I asked Sneh to share his perspective again on American pressure. Ordering viagra, It's a critically important issue. Soon, the U.S, ordering viagra from india. may well have to make tough decisions about how hard to lean on both parties. Both Olmert and Abbas have agreed that the U.S, billig viagra apotek. will monitor and assess whether each side is keeping its promises. Missouri MO Mo. , And, unless Olmert is more courageous than he appears to be, the time will probably come when, acquistare online viagra, in the judgement of the Americans, Comprar viagra de descuento, Israel is not doing what it said it would do. Ordering viagra from india, Then what.

I specifically asked Sneh about the value of American pressure when it came to Israel's settlements policy. Some brief backround:

Olmert has promised to halt Israel settlement expansion and to dismantle 24 illegal outposts in the occupied territories, order viagra online, in accordance with the road map. Köpa billiga viagra, As noted in a recent article in New York Jewish Week:

If the Olmert government follows to the letter the road map’s requirements, all the development [in the territories] could come to a halt. The document requires the government to freeze "all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements)."

But the precise definition of the term "settlement freeze" has long been murky, Køb billige viagra. Last week, Olmert pledged not to establish any new settlements and to halt land expropriation for building, ordering viagra from india. But that still allows the government to move forward on an untold number of housing units at varying stages of planning. Buy viagra online, "They might say we’re freezing all future units, but we’re going to complete the existing units. There are many points of approval where we can argue, buy viagra. If you ask me, Discount viagra, no settlement activity means no bulldozer activity," said Hagit Ofran, the chief settlement monitor for Peace Now, viagra online kopen. Ordering viagra from india, "If you’re going to a peace deal, how can you continue to build when you know you’re going to evacuate?"

According to Peace Now, there is active construction in 88 of Israel’s recognized settlements and about 10 outposts. Meanwhile, Texas TX Tex. , none of the 24 illegal outposts Sharon promised Bush he would dismantle have come down.

How likely is it that Olmert will become the first prime minister to check the 40-year expansion of Jewish settlement in the West Bank, as he totters atop an already shaky coalition government?

It is very unlikely, without strong, vocal American insistence. But Sneh, at least, thought the issue of America's stance on the settlements wasn't all that complicated.

"You don't need a satellite photo to judge whether or not the settlement outposts are taken down. It will be clear..." On the definition of settlement expansion, he said, "It is clear what this means, ordering viagra from india. If you build, if you expand, then you are violating the terms...Stop the building. Stop construction. It's simple...Either you stop building or you don't. Either the Palestinians arrest terrorists in Nablus or they don't."

He didn't explicitly say that he backed some form of public American pressure if Olmert waffled on this issue. Ordering viagra from india, But, based on last year's interview, he was clearly implying that he thought it would be helpful. (I did ask his permission to publish his comments here).

There is at least a chance that if the U.S. openly pushes both sides, Olmert will be able to point to American prodding to justify dramatic steps to stop the expansionist madness, for the first time. Abbas and Fatah will have more political cover to go the extra mile and clamp down on terrorist cells in the West Bank. Providing that political cover will require courage from the Bush Administration...and the support of all the American Jewish leaders who are uncomfortable with saying the "P-word" aloud, even though they endorse it, ordering viagra from india.

I hope the Israeli government, the Israeli public and American Jewish leaders understand that Americans also don't want to be taken for freyers. People in this country are sick and tired of this whole mess. None of the recent polls that show American support for Israel have convinced me otherwise. No amount of clever hasbara will cover up broken promises by either Israel or the Palestinian Authority. Both sides need to start keeping their word.

Ordering Viagra Overnight Delivery

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Ordering viagra overnight delivery, There are glimmers of hope out there, suddenly... Am I the only reader of Middle East news reports who feels that way, Wisconsin WI Wis. . Montana MT Mont. , A few hours ago, both Y-net news and Haaretz.com ran stories about the possibility of a settlement freeze, order viagra no prescription. Viagra, Both tell us that Olmert informed the heads of the YESHA Council (i.e., the settler leaders) that painful sacrifices are necessary, Arkansas AR Ark. . Cheap viagra, This will probably hit the American media soon, but I might as well spread the word now.., buy viagra without prescription.

The happy Haaretz report says that Israel will announce "a freeze on settlement construction prior to the Annapolis conference, and will also declare its willingness to dismantle illegal West Bank settlement outposts, government sources said Tuesday, ordering viagra overnight delivery. Washington WA Wash. , Last night, a group of senior Israeli officials flew to Washington to discuss the components of this freeze with Bush Administration officials, Alabama AL Ala. . Georgia GA Ga. , They will also brief the Americans on Israel's security interests in the talks with the Palestinians.

"In recent weeks, ordering viagra without prescription, Osta viagra online, the United States has been demanding that Israel make significant gestures on settlements and outposts prior to the conference, to compensate for its refusal to discuss the "core issues" of a final-status agreement until after the conference ends, ordering viagra no prescription. Purchase viagra online, These gestures are meant to make it clear that Israel does not intend to remain in the territories, and understands that its presence there is only temporary."

The Y-Net piece, Vermont VT Vt. , Viagra en ligne afin, Olmert ends 'difficult' meeting with Yesha leaders, order viagra no rx, Cheap viagra no rx, includes the following sub head:

"YESHA Council's first meeting with PM since he took office ends stridently, as Olmert announces some concessions are inevitable, buy viagra no prescription. Ordering viagra overnight delivery, 'We definitely have something to worry about,' says YESHA chief."

Later, we read that, according to YESHA head Danny Dayan, "Olmert...did not speak directly about evacuating more settlements in the West Bank, but his intentions were clear. Virginia VA Va. , We realize the government wants to freeze all settlement projects in the West Bank."

There is a chance that this is just make-believe, of course, cheapest viagra, Cheapest viagra in the world, in order to placate the Americans and to give the Gulf States incentives to show up in Maryland. Perhaps Olmert has no intention of actually doing anything about the expansionist madness, φτηνές φαρμακείο viagra. His predecessors didn't have the political stomach to do what needed to be done. But this guy has virtually nothing to lose, politically. He has everything to gain by shattering some precedents.

Times have been so bleak, of late, that even if an Israeli Prime Minister's confrontation with West Bank settlers is an empty political gesture to grab some headlines, it is better than no gesture at all. At least he is telling these people the truth.

Purchase Viagra Online

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Please check out my new screed in Huffington Post Purchase viagra online, , in which I find myself objecting to one (just one, I promise) of the accusations that are commonly hurled at Doug Feith and his fellow preemptive war fetishists. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to say what needed to be said, which is one reason why I haven't posted here in awhile. Comments would be welcome either here or at HuffPo, Indiana IN Ind. , where I assume 95% of the commentators will be furious at me.
-----------------------------------------

Jewish Neocons Are Dead Wrong, Viagra cheap, Not Disloyal

There are few Americans whose ideas offend me more than Douglas Feith, the former undersecretary of defense who played a major role in planning and promoting the invasion of Iraq. I joined demonstrations to try to stop that invasion and am appalled that the preemptive war fetishists now have their sites set on Iran. But I believe Feith, Cheney aide David Wurmser and other Jewish war planners have gotten a raw deal from those who accuse them of putting Israel's interests ahead of America's, purchase viagra online.

The dual loyalty accusation has become conventional wisdom in the anti-Israel neighborhoods of the blogosphere and has been given academic respectability by John Mearsheimer and Steven Walt, generic viagra. In their new book, as in their original essay, Connecticut CT Conn. , the two profs report that in 2002, "Ha'aretz columnist Akiva Eldar warned that Feith and [Richard] Perle 'are walking a fine line between their loyalty to American governments...and Israeli interests.'" They note that Iraq war chronicler George Packer believed that "`For Feith and Wurmser, the security of Israel was probably the prime mover'" when they planned the war.

Elsewhere, Idaho ID , Juan Cole once opined, "Having a Likudnik as the number three man in the Pentagon is a nightmare for American national security, Acheter viagra bon marché, since Feith could never be trusted to put U.S. interests over those of Ariel Sharon."

Those are very serious allegations, tantamount to accusing government officials of outright treason. Purchase viagra online, Whoever makes them should have incontrovertible evidence. What the accusers have is circumstantial and flimsy, order viagra online cheap. M&W note Feith's connections with "hardline" Israeli groups, his op-eds supporting Israeli settlers and the infamous paper, Generic viagra, "A Clean Break," which war-for-Israel theorists claim is their smoking gun.

Feith, Perle and Wurmser are said to have co-authored "A Clean Break" for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in 1997 [Feith claims Wurmser is the sole author], Rabatt kaufen viagra. It calls for Netanyahu to reject the Oslo process, get tough with Syria by launching surgical strikes in Lebanon, Ordering viagra online cheap, and support the Hashemites of Jordan in their power struggle with Syria by, among other things, helping them remove Saddam Hussein from power.

That grab-bag of Machiavellian fantasies certainly captures the spirit of adventurous preemption that characterized the Iraq war, purchase viagra online. So what does that prove, Ohio OH . Neocons favored the unapologetic use of military force and the dismantling of foreign governments in Nicaragua, Grenada, Om viagra online, and the Balkans, not just the Middle East. It's not surprising that some of them recommended the same approach to Netanyahu. That they eventually recommended it to G.W, cheapest viagra in the world. Purchase viagra online, Bush does not necessarily reveal anything about their loyalties or motivations. All it reveals is an obnoxious, wrong-headed worldview. Mississippi MS Miss. , If Venezuela had a lot more oil and Hugo Chavez were more provocative or tyrannical, they would want to depose him, too.

Recent, buy viagra from canada, impassioned chatter about dual loyalty and Mearsheimer and Walt's war-for-Israel theory has drowned out a far more important conversation about this ideology of preemptive militarism and interventionism. It gained powerful adherents right after 9/11, Acheter viagra discount, when Rumsfeld and Cheney decided to go after Saddam, in part because they wanted to send the message that the U.S. would not be content with attacking Afghanistan, purchase viagra online. They wanted terrorists and their paymasters to realize that the U.S. would strike its "enemies" anywhere and anytime it damned well pleased, Utah UT . That had nothing whatsoever to do with Israel; it had everything to do with American machismo.

Still, Order viagra online, reasonable people can and do disagree about the extent to which Israel or its American supporters also factored into the Bush administration's decision to wage war. Purchase viagra online, But it is unreasonable to accuse Feith and his pals of divided loyalties without tangible proof.

Last year, I contacted Feith to get his take on the accusations against him for a magazine article. "I confess to being a conservative, bestill viagra online," he said. "I have a conservative view of how to protect and preserve democracies. North Dakota ND , That affects my views of U.S. interests, British interests, Japan's interests and Israel's interests, purchase viagra online. There are problems inherent in the practice of democratic countries negotiating with anti-democratic entities. The parties to the negotiations differ from each other regarding goals, tactics and constraints, order viagra c.o.d.. This applies to all democratic countries, including Israel."

He added, Acheter viagra, "The only justification for going to war with Saddam was that he was a danger to the United States and our vital interests. The President decided that the risk of Saddam's making biological or eventually nuclear weapons available to terrorists was unacceptable, especially after 9/11."

That was a tragically wrong conclusion. Purchase viagra online, Did Feith and his colleagues also believe the war would benefit Israel. Of course, φτηνές φαρμακείο viagra. Because of that belief, did some of them have an extra edge of enthusiasm for the war. Comprar viagra baratos, Probably. But how can anyone who doesn't reside in Feith's mind assert with smug certainty that Israel was his first, second, fifth or tenth priority when he helped make the case for war, Oregon OR Ore. .

One intriguing judge of what was on his mind is Karen Kwiatkowski, a retired Colonel who worked at the Pentagon's Near East and South Asia desk from 2001 to 2003, purchase viagra online. She has written ferocious criticisms of the Iraq war that mention her discomfort at the "pro-Israel, anti-Arab" attitudes of political appointees in the Defense Department and their connections with the Israeli military. But, in an email interview, she called the dual loyalty charge "simplistic, not fact-based."

"The...preemptive war push is part of neo-conservatism, but not particular to those neoconservatives, like Doug Feith...who also happen to be Jewish, " she wrote. "These folks...made their political bones as anti-communists. The so-called Islamists are seen by neoconservatives as the new communism...Neoconservatives wish to see an 'End of Evil' in a big, loud, decisive bang. Purchase viagra online, We see a kind of predisposition for violent confrontation that isn't as much based on loyalty to Israel, but on something much closer to home."

To be sure, in some American neocons, that predisposition was also shaped in part by connections with hard-line Israelis who had a deep mistrust of Arabs and an abiding faith in military solutions to complex problems. In the 1980s, the dedication to Iron Israel, when combined with fierce anti-Communism and a reflexive contempt for anything advocated by the left, created a noxious mixture of ideas. Right-wing Israelis encouraged certain habits of mind in Americans who eventually joined the Bush Administration, a proclivity for shooting first and worrying about the cameras or the UN later.

Now, some American neocons want to inflict this credo of preemptive violence on Iran before Bush leaves office. It is their credo that makes them dangerous, not misplaced loyalties or a lack of commitment to the U.S.

Buy Viagra From Canada

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Ameinu's web site Buy viagra from canada, has some informative pieces on Syria that stand in stark contrast to the don't-trust-Assad-under-any-circumstances pablum that is available from most American Jewish groups.

What follows is a tidbit from Gershon Baskin, a very wise Israeli Jew who for decades has carried out "Track 2" dialogue on the toughest issues with Arab counterparts, order viagra cod, including Syrian politicians, αγοράζουν online viagra, diplomats and academics. He wrote this in mid-September, before Sec, Koop korting viagra. of State Rice extended an invitation to Syria to attend the peace conference in November, Cheap viagra no rx, a decision that reportedly made Dick Cheney furious. At the end of this excerpt is a quote from a Bush Administration official, almost certainly someone from the Cheney wing, billige viagra apotek. I wonder whose information and insights deserve to be taken more seriously, Baskin and Track 2 diplomats who've been dealing with Syria for years, or the very same people whose information and insights got us into Iraq?, buy viagra from canada. Hmmm.... Montana MT Mont. , I really can't decide, can you?:

From all indications that I have from talks with Syrian officials and from people who have met with the highest officials in Syria in the most recent past, Syria is quite anxious to be invited to the Washington meeting, cheap viagra without prescription. Senior Syrian officials and people close to the regime have told me and others that Syria is also ready to meet US demands as part and parcel of the peace deal with Israel and a promise of open and positive relations with the United States... Viagra online cheap, ...Even Israeli intelligence reports assert that Syria is prepared to pick up formal direct negotiations with Israel. Buy viagra from canada, Everyone involved knows the contours of the potential agreement - the return of the Golan Heights in exchange for full and genuine peace with Israel.

Some Israelis and Americans who have been involved in Track II meetings that have been held with the agreement of senior officials in Damascus have noted more flexibility on Syria's positions concerning meeting Israel's security needs and on other strategic issues such as water.

According to people who speak regularly with Syrian officials, viagra without a prescription, Syria is not only willing, Order viagra online without prescription, but is in fact keen to be drawn away from their alliance with Iran. From the information that we have, Syria would be sincerely willing to take real steps to limit the power of Hizbullah and Hamas, Osta viagra. But all of that can only be possible as part of a deal with Israel and with the inclusion and involvement of the United States.

Syria would be ready to replace its Iranian alliance with a new alliance with the United States, as long as it also includes a renewal of the Israeli-Syrian track and progress toward an agreement on the return of the Golan, buy viagra from canada. New Jersey NJ N.J. , It is clear that if the US and Israel do not engage Syria, Damascus has the power to sabotage any Israeli-Palestinian progress, and is very likely to if its isolation is continued, købe viagra online. From its point of view, Where to buy cheap viagra, there is almost no reason why it shouldn't. The continued isolation of Syria by the US and Israel puts the entire potential success of the renewed Israeli-Palestinian track in question....

...I believe the Syrians would be responsive to quiet US diplomacy in the way of creating the mechanism for them to participate in November, ordering viagra online legally. Buy viagra from canada, I am sure that if the Syrians had an indication from the administration that a positive change in US-Syrian relations was on the way, they could also be quite helpful on the issue of the Israeli hostages in Lebanon and Gaza. There is so much more to be gained from Syrian engagement than from their isolation. Buy viagra overnight delivery, Regrettably, in a recent communication with a very senior policy-maker in the White House, I received the following response to the above ideas:

"I appreciate having your views, kopen goedkope viagra, but you are right: I am not persuaded. αγοράσετε viagra έκπτωση, This (Syria) is a vicious brutal regime allied to Iran strategically, not tactically, engaged in helping kill Americans in Iraq, Oklahoma OK Okla. , helping the worst Palestinian terrorist forces, Lowest price viagra, desperate to reassert its rule over Lebanon, and sponsoring not simply anti-Zionist but the most barbaric anti-Semitic views."

Similarly, contrast the quote from that Cheney acolyte with information imparted by David Lesch, Iowa IA , a Syria scholar who spoke at a recent Century Foundation lunch in NYC (an event I missed because I have to work for a living. Ordering viagra pills, Anyone have any ideas on how to solve that problem???). Lesch is well-connected to the Syrian intelligencia, buy viagra from canada. His talk was summarized by Gidon Remba, Ameinu's Executive Director:

Syrian President Bashar Assad has been telling visiting scholars and diplomats that Syria's alliance with Iran, comprar viagra de descuento, Hezbollah and Hamas is essentially tactical, Buy viagra cod, and largely expendable in exchange for the right incentives from the U.S. and Israel. Syria is a weak country, köpa viagra, economically distressed and running out of oil; it is always seeking leverage, bargaining chips, and in need of Western and Sunni Arab aid. It will trade away its strategic assets with the Islamists in exchange for dividends of greater value from the West. Buy viagra from canada, But it won't surrender its booty in advance of a negotiation, as the Bush Administration has demanded, before confirming that American and Israeli benefits will truly be forthcoming.

Bashar told Lesch in May 2007: "Whoever works more for our [Syria's] interests, I will be their friend. It is about interests, not ideology, and if the United States works for my interests, I will be their friend." When one has few friends, Bashar intimated, one cannot be choosy, implying that "Damascus has had no choice but to draw closer to Iran." But if "given a legitimate option in another direction, it might loosen its ties to Teheran."

Bashar has also told Lesch that he would be a "hero" if he could bring about the return of the Golan to Syria through negotiations. If the U.S. continues down the path of isolation and confrontation with Syria, a largely Sunni state, we will push it even more into the arms of Shia Iran and Hezbollah. The U.S. and Israel must now work towards an American-backed Israeli-Syrian peace treaty and arms control pact enabling Syria to join the U.S.-allied coalition of Sunni Arab states and Israel against Shia extremists—before the next, far more devastating war.

For decades, I thought this country was run by the kinds of people who used to try to beat me up in junior high. Now, I have come to realize that this country is being run by the kinds of people I used to pity in junior high, because they were a bit slow, they could not quite keep up...
