Cheap Viagra From Canada

Monday, March 17th, 2008

The Jerusalem Post Cheap viagra from canada, notes that Ala Abu Dhaim, the gunman who shot up the Merkaz HaRav yeshiva in Jerusalem:

...did not meet the typical profile of Palestinian attackers, police said. "He is not known to the security forces," Jerusalem Police Chief Cmdr. Aharon Franco told Channel 2. "He was a normal man ... who was going to wed soon."

Franco added that the gunmen drove students to school for a living, Kentucky KY Ky. , once again denying Abu Dhaim's family's claim that he had been working at the Yeshiva. He said that while Abu Dhaim had recently become more religious, he was not devout, cheap viagra from canada. Franco said he believed Abu Dhaim had planned the attack some time in advance and that it was not a response to recent violence in the Gaza Strip.

This man was from Jabl Mukaber. in eastern Jerusalem. Buy viagra no rx, In a post last July, I wrote about a checkpoint at the edge of one of Jabl Mukaber's several distinct neighborhoods, a mini-village called Sheikh Sa’ed. Cheap viagra from canada, I have re-written it a bit and will offer it again. Ala Abu Dhaim must have known all about the suffering of his neighbors in Sheikh Sa'ed, and no doubt the situation there added to his rage.

The first part of this post enraged readers on the pro-Israel right, order viagra no prescription. The second part enraged readers on the anti-Israel left. The rest of us must figure out how to live in the grey area where an understanding of moral ambiguity is a prerequisite to finding the truth.

Checkpoints, the wall and an unexpected message

I think of Hannah often these days, now that I have begun to wade into the difficult task of conversing with the left on Israel, cheap viagra from canada. She is from Australia, in her late 50s, Massachusetts MA Mass. , and has lived in Israel since the early ’70s. Hannah (not her real name) is one of the brave, tireless, often rather eccentric Israeli Jews (most of them women) who volunteer for Machsom Watch.

Machsom means “checkpoint.” These woman have taken it upon themselves to monitor the treatment of Palestinians at some of the most controversial checkpoints in the West Bank. Like the wall/barrier/fence (it can be any one of those things, cheap viagra pills, depending on where it’s located), many of the checkpoints that were established in the last few years prevent Palestinians from traveling from one part of the West Bank to another without approval from Israeli Border Police or soldiers. Cheap viagra from canada, About a year ago, at the end of June 2006, I accompanied Hannah and her companion, J, to Sheikh Sa’ed. That is--or at least used to be--one of several distinct neighborhoods of Jabl Mukaber, a village on the eastern edge of Jerusalem. Buy cheap viagra, Jabl Mukaber was not annexed by Israel, so it is technically part of the West Bank. The residents of Sheikh Sa’ed are closely linked to Jabl Mukaber and the rest of East Jerusalem, where they have many family ties and go for many services.

The Israeli government had planned to extend the wall/barrier/fence so that it divided Sheik Sa'ed from Jabl Mukaber. But in March, 2006, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the planned route of the wall was improper, cheap viagra from canada. So the Israelis set up a permanent, New York NY N.Y. , staffed checkpoint at the entrance to Sheik Sa'ed. According a report from B’Tselem, the Israeli human rights organization (which calls Shei Sa'ed a "village"):

"Village residents who do not hold Israeli identity cards are forbidden to exit the village and enter Jerusalem . Even those who have permits to enter Israel are not allowed to cross the checkpoint. Oregon OR Ore. , Instead they are directed to the Olive Checkpoint. Cheap viagra from canada, To get to that checkpoint, they have to negotiate a long descent down the cliff on which the village lies. In fact the siege imposed by Israel means that those without Jerusalem identity cards with two ways to leave Sheikh Sa’ed : to go along a difficult and, for some residents, an impossible path down the cliff, or to enter Jerusalem illegally.

The siege affects every aspect of the resident’s lives, Vermont VT Vt. . One of the most serious consequences is its effect on access to medical treatment: the village has no medical clinic, so the residents have to go to facilities in East Jerusalem, in most cases to Jabel Mukaber, which lies about 100 meters from the entrance to Sheikh Sa’ed. Billige viagra apotek, The villagers have difficulty obtaining essential foodstuffs and other consumer needs.

When we arrived there, Hannah, J and I got past the checkpoint and walked into Sheikh Sa’ed, where a cab driver met us and drove us around. The women were there to bear witness, to take notes as they talked to villagers, cheap viagra from canada. From the top of the steep, sloping donkey path that is now the only way in and out of the neighborhood for many residents, kjøpe viagra, we watched two teenage boys hauling some wood up the hill. Hannah told me that if people have physical problems, like asthma, and can’t make it up the hill, Jotta viagra verkossa, they are stuck in the village. They can’t get out.

An old man with a cane walked past us and gingerly moved down the donkey path. Cheap viagra from canada, He appeared to be tip-toeing. The women took notes. The cab driver ticked off a number of indignities, like the tear gas that the Border Police had tossed at some teenagers who had approached the checkpoint, ordering viagra online, talking loudly and boisterously, but, he claimed, had meant no harm. Viagra prices, In rejecting the state’s plans to build the wall/barrier there, the Israeli court had indicated there was no evidence that these people posed a direct security threat to the State of Israel, Hannah told me. But the Court did urge the Israeli government to build the barrier on another route, further east. As we walked back through the checkpoint to her car, she said, loudly, so a young Border Policeman could hear, “The Germans said they didn’t know, cheap viagra from canada. They didn’t know what was happening, Ohio OH . I know. I know what is happening.”

She was reluctant to talk politics, to examine the big picture. As we drove away, Viagra generic, I kept pressing about her political beliefs, and all she would tell me was that she didn’t vote for Meretz. Cheap viagra from canada, She was “way left” of Meretz, she said.

But later, as we drove past the wall at Abu Dis, I heard something unexpected from Hannah.

I asked her the inevitable question that must be asked by anyone who insists on seeing both sides’ points of view: “But don’t you think the wall and the checkpoints have stopped terrorists?”

She gave me the standard, Florida FL Fla. , post-Zionist answer, something along the lines of “It has nothing to do with security. It’s just there to control people, to humilate them.”

I kept at it. Osta viagra online, I said that, at one point a few years back, moderates in the Palestinian Authority had accepted the idea of some kind of barrier, as long as it was on the Green Line. The PA had been unable to control Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and they appeared to understand that, for the time being, the State of Israel had to do something to stop suicide bombers, cheap viagra from canada. They were not happy about the wall/barrier/fence, but as long as it did not cut a swath through the West Bank, where to buy cheap viagra, at least some PA officials appeared to be willing to live with it, for the time being. I told Hannah that I knew this to be true because I had heard them voice that sentiment.

Then Hannah said, Ordering viagra online without prescription, “It would be ugly. It would be horrible...I could live with it, too.”

I expressed surprise. Cheap viagra from canada, I had been assuming, without thinking much about it, that she was in the same camp as the international leftists who urge Israel to just tear down the “apartheid wall,” demolish it unilaterally, pretend there is no need for concerted negotiations, pretend there is no problem, pretend there is no blood feud that has been going on for a hundred plus years.

Instead, Hannah said, simply, generic viagra, “There are people who don’t want me here.”

So here she was, the kind of Israeli witness who feeds the fury of anyone with a smidgeon of concern for basic human decency and humanity. But even Hannah, who spent her days exposing the nightmarish conditions of Palestinians under occupation, Texas TX Tex. , wanted a wall or a barrier to protect her children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors from getting blown to bits.

I haven’t the faintest idea what Israel should do right now about the wall/fence/barrier, other than ensuring that it doesn't cut through Palestinian villages and olive groves, and re-routing those parts of it that jut into the West Bank to protect far-flung Israeli settlements, order viagra online, and announcing, loudly and clearly, that it is TEMPORARY, a security measure that can be eliminated if and when there is a political settlement. For viagra online, As for the system of checkpoints and other obstacles to Palestinian movement, Peace Now says the vast majority of them do not protect Israeli security. But it still calls for 35 of them to remain, cheap viagra from canada. Sharing the rage of people who don’t want old men to be forced to tip-toe down old donkey paths does not mean that one should ignore the worries and fears of Israeli parents who don’t want their kids to be slaughtered in supermarkets and discos.

To call out, simply and passionately, “Tear down the apartheid wall” at demonstrations, buy viagra without prescription, without offering a reasonable, immediate solution to those Israeli parents, is to tell them they should not worry about their kids. One could say, “Hannah should not be there,” Hannah should go back to Australia, the whole experiment should be summarily cancelled. That’s not just offensive; it is unrelated to objective reality, yet I read comments like that all the time on the lefty blogs. Cheap viagra from canada, Hannah isn’t leaving, and that is a good thing. She and her comrades rage and rage against the brutality and dehumanization that is an inevitable consequence of the occupation. She refuses to stop holding a mirror up to the Israelis who bear much of the responsibility for this unremitting tragedy. But they do not bear that responsibility alone. While Hannah rages, she also needs to protect herself and the people she loves. She is faced with conflicting moral imperatives that are impossible to reconcile. As some point, I suspect, she stopped trying to reconcile them, like a lot of Israelis who have as much concern for human rights and justice as the sloganeers on the anti-Israel left.

Ordering Viagra Online Without Prescription

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Ordering viagra online without prescription, It is hard to convey the amount of bile and reductionist, blame-the-Jews-for-every-sin rhetoric that has taken over much of the blogosphere. Phil Weiss's blog generally attracts some of the most articulate Jew-bashers, so I tune into the comments from time to time in order to gauge the level of hatred.

I just noticed some great comments by "Teddy," one of our most valued contributors whose only fault is that he is smarter and generally more articulate than I am, Osta viagra. I hereby award him the first "Fleshie," which will be bestowed periodically on the best response to anti-Semitism or ignorant anti-Israelism on the Web. He veers farther to the left than I would, Cheap viagra without prescription, but this is the kind of respondent who has a chance to get the attention of the people who are reading these blogs and still trying to make up their minds about whether to hold the Jews responsible for the world's problems...Stay with this. It is a bit scary in places, ordering viagra online without prescription. And Teddy's initial response refers to an earlier comment and requires some patience. But, in the end, he richly deserves his Fleshie:

1-{The original provocation by "Cogit 8}"Phil, order viagra online, after observing how 'your people' operate for lo a half century, I rather doubt that anything close to a candid discussion about The Jews (or their lobby) will ever occur. The Russerts and Wolf Blitzers are drooling in wait for Obama, Cheapest viagra, who hasn't inspired much hope to the majority of Americans who want us out of Iraq.

What will happen instead is that Hillary will demagogue the issue into one of "Do you support our little ally Israel, or don't you. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Pulling out of Iraq will leave poor little Israel all alone, etc etc etc."

If you want a foretaste of the sophistry to come, merely observe how the recent killing of 120 Palestinians by a sophisticated war-machine has not produced even a ripple of empathy in America, whereas the death of one Jew by a crudely made rocket is trumpeted about the mother-land. Proof indeed of The Jewing of America - because most of 'your people' really don't give a rip about other human life."

2-{Teddy's response}: "most of 'your people' really don't give a rip about other human life."

What follows is an excerpt from a comment that closed off a thread a few days ago. I wrote it in response to a predictable claim from MM that Zionism was NOTHING except colonialism and racism, online viagra, nothing else. I include the first part so you will understand the context of my concluding comment. Some of you are unwittingly doing a wonderful job of promoting Zionism and confirming the suspicions of the most paranoid Jews:
------------------------
MM, Connecticut CT Conn. , And there was nothing else to Zionism. No other reason for it, ordering viagra online without prescription. Just colonialism and imperialism. No pogroms and raw discrimination that made Eastern and Central European Jew believe assimilation was impossible. No desparation in the 1930s and '40s because the gates of the world were closed (and don't give me the infernal, conspiratorial line that somehow the Zionists caused the Holocaust or were glad that it happened, cheap viagra, which I used to read all the time on Phil's blog)?...

That said, many of the Zionist pioneers were racist, Viagra without prescription, and orientalist, and the entire saga does not resemble the golden myths American Jews learned in their childhood about the founding of Israel. Ordering viagra online without prescription, But let me tell ya, MM and all your compadres, much of the bile on this blog is reminiscent of the attitudes that convinced Jews in the late 19th century that Zionism was the only solution available to them.

So keep it up, as someone else wrote awhile ago. You're doing AIPAC's work for it, Rabatt kaufen viagra.

Posted by: Teddy | March 06, 2008 at 12:19 PM

3-{Another county heard from}: Even if one accepts everything Teddy says about the pogroms Jews faced in Europe -- what does that have to do with the U.S..

Like the Palestinians, Buy viagra overnight delivery, Americans wonder why we have to pay and pay and pay for sins committed by Europeans decades ago. We even have to pay $35 million a year for the Holocaust Museum, to explain what one group of Europeans did to another group of Europeans, ordering viagra online without prescription. Why.

Now there IS a zionist state, which enjoys a southern European standard of living. So WHY, ordering viagra pills, again, is the U.S. obliged to spend billions a year, Billige viagra apotek, and distort its entire foreign policy -- in perpetuity -- to help this exclusively Jewish project along. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Is this like Catholic indulgences or carbon credits, where paying $5 billion a year will earn us "philosemitic credits" and expiate our eternal liberal guilt. It takes a lot of chutzpah to think that the Shoah can continue to milked for this purpose, in the seventh decade after it happened.

Give it a rest, man, Køb billige viagra. Find a new hustle that actually adds some value to peoples' lives, rather than just shaking them down and denouncing them as antisemites if they dare to object to having their pockets picked. Some of us are getting rather tired of being abused, Billiga viagra apotek, after generously contributing all our lives via income tax. Some gratitude, huh, ordering viagra online without prescription.

Posted by: Jim Haygood | March 06, 2008 at 12:46 PM

4- {Teddy's response}You don't seem to get it, Jim. I wasn't defending all that the Zionists did or justifying blind U.S, comprar en línea viagra. support for Israel. I was pointing out that the rhetoric on this site, or some of it, Buy viagra, blames THE JOOS as a people for all sorts of nefarious crimes, and refuses to make a distinction between right wing Zionists and everyone else who calls himself or herself a Jew. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Anti-Zionism and blunt, angry criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism. "Most of 'your people' don't really give a rip about human life' is anti-Semitic according to any reasonable definition of the word. If you and yours would denounce grotesque generalizations about the Jewish people and focus on AIPAC, the ZOA and the groups that I, cheapest viagra in the world, as Jew, also despise, you might attract reasonable people to your arguments

Posted by: Teddy | March 06, Viagra sale, 2008 at 01:08 PM

5-{A second provocation by "Cogit8"} Teddy, I regret that you limited your critique to just a few of my words, because I'm talking about a much larger issue (its the same issue that Phil is pondering also, and that is the question of Jewish culpability in the disaster which is Iraq).

If the Dreyfus Affair can be called "one of the greatest iniquities of the last century" and it only concerned one individual, price of viagra, pray tell what will Iraq and Lebanon be called some day. In addition, what will the ethnic cleansing of over 700, Goedkope viagra apotheek, 000 Palestinians be called.

So yes, "J'Accuse!" is where I'm coming from, and I accuse "most of 'your people'" of having committed or supported major war-crimes against humanity, ordering viagra online without prescription.

Posted by: cogit8 | March 06, 2008 at 10:43 PM

6 {Teddy's award- winning response} The Dreyfus Affair was your entry in the compare-whose-pain-is-greater debate, not mine.

You have a Star Wars, Alabama AL Ala. , black and white vision of the conflict and, apparently, the universe. Illinois IL Ill. , I learned a long time ago that it is useless to try to explain the complexities and nuances of the ongoing tragedy to people like you. But just a few notes and then I need to return to the world where people understand there are two sides to most stories and neither has a monopoly on truth or goodness. Ordering viagra online without prescription, I don't believe Israel and its lobbyists were a decisive factor in the Bushies decision to get us into Iraq. But even if they were, what about the high percentage of American Jews who opposed the invasion and the higher percentage that turned agains the war. Are they part of the "people" who should be blamed for Iraq, buy viagra. Weren't American Jews prominent leaders of the anti-war movement (e.g., Leslie Cagan).

I don't believe what happened in 1948 (or the 30s) can be reduced to the single, Buy viagra online cheap, fashionable phrase of "ethnic cleansing," unless that phrase is applied to both sides of the conflict. There was a war between two national movements and atrocities were commmited by both sides, ordering viagra online without prescription. What do you think were the intentions of the Arab armies that invaded in '48. The entire area would have been Judenrein if they had gotten their way. But even if your Star Wars vision is correct, For viagra online, an entire "people" did not "support" ethnic cleansing. Most Jews who followed the conflict believed in the propaganda they were fed about why the Palestinians left. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Only in the last few decades have the revisionist historians showed that there was another side of the story. You can't blame an entire "people" for supporting ethnic cleansing if they did not believe that is what happened.

For that matter, even if you think the Zionists were the scum of the earth from the very start, realize that they were a minority movement among Jews around the world even in the early 1930s. An entire "people" did not support them. For most Jews. the need for the Jewish homeland only sunk during the Second World and its immediate aftermath, ordering viagra online without prescription.

As for Lebanon and Gaza, I am outraged at the passivity of most American Jewish organizations in the face of Israel's disproportionate response. But one of the reasons for the passivity among moderate Jews who are horrified by the deaths of Palestinian children is utter despair and hopelessness; they don't have a practical answer that will help both sides escape from this nightmare. So, as usual, those with the easy, extreme answers --targeted assasinations---win the day. That's no excuse. Ordering viagra online without prescription, I share your anger at what is happening and so do the organizations I support, like Brit Tzedek v'Shalom. So, where does that put me in your cartography of the Jewish people.

Posted by: Teddy | March 07, 2008 at 05:24 AM

Again, Teddy's answer won't make the mainstream Jewish establishment happy, because he feels no compulsion to defend what he believes to be indefensible. Some of what he says make me uncomfortable and is too harsh on the Zionists. But standard "hasbara" has no chance to succeed in that digital world. It gets rejected immediately. Teddy and his ilk do have a chance. Please send other nominations to dfleshler@yahoo.com.

Order Viagra Online Legally

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Order viagra online legally, Something seems to be brewing out there, something new. I've been doing Middle East peace work, on and off, since the mid-1980s, generic viagra. I have never heard so many people from so many different corners of America defying right-wingers (and ultra-left-wingers) on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and saying the same things at the same time. Kentucky KY Ky. , What do a distinguished Senator and Democratic presidential candidate, 80 evangelical Christians who love Israel, a coalition of major Muslim, Christian and Jewish religious leaders, αγοράζουν online viagra, some Arab American groups and the pro-Israel left have in common. In the last month, Acheter viagra bon marché, they have all called for the U.S. to actively pursue a two-state solution and they have spoken out--with varying degrees of specificity--against the occupation as well as Palestinian terrorism, order viagra online legally.

Item 1--Recently, under the media radar screen, Chris Dodd has been sending around a "Dear Secretary Rice" letter to his colleagues, Idaho ID . Reliable sources tell me AIPAC is unhappy about it. Not wanting to burn bridges with a Presidential candidate and important Senator, αγοράζουν φτηνά viagra, the group has not actively opposed it. But when people call AIPAC and ask about it, they are being told that the letter is (horror of horrors!) "pro-Palestinian." In fact, it is decidedly (also horror of horrors!) even-handed, comprar en línea viagra. Here is a summary from Brit Tzedek's website Order viagra online legally, , where you will find a link to the full text of the letter:

... On the Israeli side, the letter calls for a freeze on settlement construction, Florida FL Fla. , the dismantling of illegal outposts, and a reduction of roadblocks and checkpoints in the Palestinian territories. The letter notes the crucial significance that Israel “ease the living conditions of the Palestinian people as a symbol of its commitment to a final settlement.” In light of the Israeli government’s recently released plans to build 300 new homes in the East Jerusalem settlement of Har Homa as well as its threats to cut off fuel and electricity into Gaza, this letter could not be more timely, order viagra online without prescription.

The Dodd letter also reaffirms American support for Israel’s right to defend itself and calls on Palestinian President Abbas to continue to denounce all terror attacks and to recognize Israel’s right to exist. It further encourages Secretary Rice to strengthen the Abbas government by providing humanitarian and financial aid to the Palestinian Authority (a message echoing November’s Ackerman-Boustany letter in the House of Representatives).

It is possible now to put forward positions in Congress that would have gotten a Member's head handed to him not long ago, order viagra online legally. Wisconsin WI Wis. , Even if Dodd were one of the leaders in the Democratic presidential race and had more to lose, it seems reasonable to assume that he would have taken the same action. There is, a Hill insider tells me, cheapest viagra, "less terror" of calling for aggressive moves to stop settlements and remove checkpoints, as doing so does not necessarily mean the right wing hasbara brigade will target you or that AIPAC-influenced PACs and right wing Jewish individuals will pour money into your opponent's campaign. Cheap generic viagra, [Note that this source says less terror, as opposed to no terror.]

Item 2--While the right-wing maximalist Christian Zionists get most of the press, other evangelicals with equally passionate ties to their Holy Land but more conciliatory views are also organizing, according to a recent post by David Neff in the Christianity Today blog:

Over 80 evangelical leaders have signed a statement indicating their belief "that the way forward is for the Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate a fair, ostaa halvalla viagra, two-state solution."

These leaders—including Christian college and seminary presidents, denominational heads, Osta viagra, and other ministry leaders—pledge their "ongoing support for the security of Israel," and state that "unless the situation between Israel and Palestine improves quickly, the consequences will be devastating" for Israel. Palestinians with little economic opportunity "are increasingly sympathetic to radical solutions."

[A brief excerpt from the statement]:

We believe that the principles about justice taught so powerfully by the Hebrew prophets apply to all nations, buy viagra online without prescription, including the United States, Israel, Billige viagra apotek, and the Palestinians. Order viagra online legally, Therefore we are compelled to work for a fair, negotiated solution for both Israelis and Palestinians. We resolve to work diligently for a secure, enduring peace and a flourishing economy for the democratic State of Israel. We also resolve to work for a viable permanent, Arizona AZ Ariz. , democratic Palestinian State with a flourishing economy that offers economic opportunity to all its people. We believe that the way forward is for the Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate a fair, Viagra sale, two-state solution."

Now, that is not exactly bold language. But, as I understand it, kjøpe viagra, most of these people are not from the left wing of the evangelical movement (e.g., the Sojourners). For all I know, some of them might like Mike Huckabee, order viagra online legally. Farmacia viagra baratos, And the contrast between them and the "don't-yield-one-inch" fanatics like John Hagee could not be more stark, or more welcome.

Item 3--The National Interreligious Leadership Initiative for Peace in the Middle East, formed in 2003, viagra for sale, consists of major Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious leaders. Maryland MD Md. , Galvanized by the irrepressible Ronald Young, they came up with a policy statement in advance of the Annapolis peace talks and a similar one after the conference. Among other things, they call for U.S, viagra en ligne afin. Order viagra online legally, support for the "benchmark ideas developed by Israelis and Palestinians over the years in official and unofficial negotiations, and reflected in public documents like the People's Voice initiative and the Geneva Accords." These are heavy hitters, acknowledged denominational leaders, not just individual clergy signing ads in the New York Times. And they have found a way to unite not just over lofty and general goals but at least a few specific principles.

Item 4-- And then there is the American Task Force on Palestine, New Mexico NM N.Mex. , which I've noted before. This is a new and welcome phenomenon: Palestinian American two-staters who are seeking to find common political cause with the pro-Israel left, Churches for Middle East Peace and others.

None of this means that all of these disparate people have the capacity, New York NY N.Y. , right now, to coalesce into an effective, energized lobby for the rest of us. But it means that there is an unprecedented convergence of minds and bodies and spirits dedicated to goals that were once controversial and divisive, both in the Middle East and the U.S. That yields some hope for eventual, tangible changes in the American political landscape.

Buy Viagra Online

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

In a post Buy viagra online, that recounts an Israel Policy Forum dinner that I also attended (hat tip to Richard Witty), Philip Weiss describes his joy at discovering what has been available for years, waiting for him to encounter it: a community of American Jews who care about Israel, who consider themselves part of the Israel lobby in its broadest sense, who abhor the occupation as much as he does, and therefore want to press for the kind of active American diplomacy that will rescue both Palestinians and Israelis. Buy viagra overnight delivery, Among other things, Weiss declares his support for a 2-state solution after remaining agnostic about it, ordering viagra online. Louisiana LA , That, too, cheap viagra online, Virginia VA Va. , is heartwarming news for those of us who've been squabbling with American leftists who keep encouraging the unrealistic dream of a single bi-national state, and, viagra online stores, Buy viagra c.o.d., in doing so, prolong Palestinian suffering by keeping alive the delusion that somehow the Jewish state will vanish, North Dakota ND . Michigan MI Mich. , Some of these people, who congregate on Phil's blog, Jotta viagra verkossa, Wyoming WY Wyo. , are wont to pour out venom against anything and everything remotely connected to Israel and American Jewry, and in some cases resent and reject the very idea of a Jewish people, online viagra. Order viagra c.o.d., Here is Phil's holiday gift:

There was throughout the evening the strong feeling...that Yes there is an Israel lobby, and it is many of the people in this room, buy viagra cod, Cheapest viagra prices, and the time has come to take your foot off the breathing tube of the Palestinians. It was a wonderful evening because here was a strongly Jewish and Zionist audience but it was willing to hear from Arabs and Arabists, buy viagra online. There was no noxious whiff of stinking neoconservatism the whole night, For viagra online. Cheap viagra without prescription, God bless. There was also the strong sense that without the American Jewish community allowing Washington to become more independent, kopen goedkope viagra, Hawaii HI , this moment will be lost. Israelis and the Palestinians cannot do this on their own, acheter viagra discount, Köpa rabatterade viagra, they require muscling intervention... Buy viagra online, ...I have been to many Jewish leadership events where I am angered and saddened. At this one I was in tears, order viagra cod. Cheap viagra pills, What a glory to my community that it is capable of such recognitions. There was an atmosphere of worldliness and real leadership at the event, Rhode Island RI R.I. , Illinois IL Ill. , and a feeling that Jews know that they are powerful in American society, and that brings responsibility, not self-regard...

...I was converted to the two state solution, with an asterisk. I never imbibed the Zionist dream; and the dream..of maintaining a Jewish state in part of Eretz Israel...is not something I really care about, or that I think most Americans ought to care about...And yet the real dream that realistic Americans must seize now is an end to the cycle of violence, a dream of regional cooperation and interdependence, and this was the imperative of the IPF event, buy viagra online. Two states are a necessary step. Once the states are up and running, and the Palestinian doctors are working in Israeli hospitals and trucks of oranges are crossing the borders, and a road runs from Damascus to Jerusalem that all can drive on, idealists like myself will talk about a federated solution, but the IPF event was about leadership and opportunity, and let us celebrate the initiative.

Guess what, Phil. I also think that, eventually, a federated solution would make perfect sense. It used to be a respectable idea among the Zionists in Palestine. In the unlikely event that we ever arrive at the juncture you describe, I'll join you on the idealists' barricades. In the meantime, welcome home, my brother.

Where To Buy Cheap Viagra

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

There is a remarkable essay by Hussein Ibish Where to buy cheap viagra, , a Palestinian American who is a Senior Fellow with the American Task Force On Palestine, on the ATFP's web site.

Called "Sense, Nonsense and Strategy in the New Palestinian Political Landscape, Billige viagra apotek, " it allows us to eavesdrop on the internal Palestinian American conversation about what is to be done. After skewering Arab leftists who have come around to supporting Hamas, and analyzing the complex causes and consequences of the Hamas-Fatah conflict, he tries to offer Palestinian and other Arab Americans concrete ideas for a political approach that could, cheap viagra without prescription, conceivably, help to end the occupation. Buy viagra cod, Among other things, he provides a critique of the one-staters on the left, and then embraces the idea of working with pro-Israel American Jews who share the goal of two states. The entire piece is well worth reading, Nebraska NE Nebr. , but for now, note what he says about the different "narratives":


The only serious prospect of ending the conflict and gaining independence for the Palestinian people lies through the path of a negotiated end to the occupation and the creation of a Palestinian state. This is not an perfect or ideal solution, where to buy cheap viagra. Order viagra cod, Few political constructs ever are. But, if properly crafted, such an agreement could and would end both the conflict and the occupation.., acquistare online viagra.

...In addition to developing more effective advocacy, friends of Palestine need to help build a serious national and international coalition to end the occupation. Order viagra, The Arab League peace initiative, for example, provides a significant platform to build upon, as it offers Israelis the potential of achieving what they say they have always wanted, New Hampshire NH N.H. . Where to buy cheap viagra, Just as Palestinians and Israelis need to come to terms with each other in order to realize their rights and security, and to ensure a decent future for both peoples, supporters of Palestine in the United States will have to develop a functioning working relationship with a wide variety of organizations that support an end to the occupation and the conflict.

The motivations for such support are irrelevant, as are differences on other issues. Viagra pills, Policy changes in a system as complex as the American one require broad-based, single-issue alliances between factions who agree on little, or even nothing, else, Um viagra online. Supporters of Palestine and Israel in our country have glared and shouted at each other for many decades for very understandable reasons. However, Viagra online stores, since Israelis and Palestinians need to come to reasonable terms in the interests of both peoples, Jewish and Arab Americans who are serious about peace also need to develop, insofar as possible, functional working relationships, billige viagra Apotheke.

I do not mean here simply Jewish and pro-Israel groups that oppose the occupation on moral grounds, but those that wish to end it for practical and selfish reasons as well, where to buy cheap viagra. We are never going to convince each other to abandon the narratives that inform our support for Israel and Palestine respectively. But since, Viagra ordine on-line, for different reasons, Israelis and Palestinians finally find themselves needing the same thing – an end to the conflict based on an end to the occupation – Arab and Jewish Americans ought and need to be able to build a working alliance to support that aim. Israel has every reason, purely in its own manifest self-interest, acheter viagra, to come to reasonable terms with the Palestinians, and its American supporters have every reason to encourage it to do so, Acheter en ligne viagra, even though not everyone has fully comprehended this yet. Many others would want to be involved too, as the whole project would emphasize the benefits of an end to the occupation for US foreign policy and the world at large. Where to buy cheap viagra, Indeed, almost all parties – Palestinian, Israeli, Arab, European, Asian and of course American – need this conflict to be resolved, and the formula of two states living side-by-side in peace is the only viable means of doing so. Only forces radically and violently opposed to the regional and world order, buy viagra online legally, or extremist groups on both sides and their allies who consciously prefer unending war over painful compromise, actively reject it. Buy viagra from canada, Until now those extremist minorities have managed to exercise a veto over the will of the majorities and the needs of all of these parties. This veto must be revoked. If we say we want the same thing, we should at least try to call each other’s bluff and test the waters rather than concluding from the outset that it is inconceivable that self-interest might actually bring friends of Palestine and Israel to the same place at the same time, ordering viagra overnight delivery, with the real potential of mutual benefit.

Acknowledging and then trying to set aside the differences in each other's narratives, and not trying to reconcile versions of history that cannot be reconciled, is the only way to accomplish anything --both here or in the Middle East, where to buy cheap viagra. That doesn't mean longstanding grievances disappear. Billig viagra apotek, It means they aren't allowed to interfere with the practical work of ending the occupation. Some Israeli and Palestinian peace activists have learned this lesson, and put aside their many differences to work towards the same goal. They often go through a long, Massachusetts MA Mass. , internal process with different phases. Where to buy cheap viagra, Generally, it starts with a desire to talk to and work with The Other. Then anger erupts, Buy cheap viagra, and differences are magnified. And eventually, "functional working relationships" --as Ibish puts it-- can be developed.

Jewish and Arab Americans don't have enough of those working relationships and not enough of them have gone through the process I just described, Mississippi MS Miss. . There have been isolated joint projects and speaking tours , sporadic meetings behind closed doors between communal leaders, Cheap viagra online, dialogue groups, a dinner here and there. I am probably going to offend the people who have mounted these efforts, but they have never amounted to anything that is politically consequential or enduring on a national scale, where to buy cheap viagra. The American Task Force on Palestine, led by Ziad Isali, Maine ME Me. , is comprised of very smart, politically savvy Palestinian Americans who want to change that situation. Order viagra, They offer a ray of hope on the domestic political scene, and rays of hope for meaningful changes in American Middle East policy are few and far between.

To complicate this new ethnic paradigm even more, I'm going to think of them during Thanksgiving tomorrow. Happy turkey day to one and all...

Ordering Viagra From Mexico

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Ordering viagra from mexico, Apologies for the recent lack of blogging activity. Too many work and family obligations, not enough hours in the day.

Last week, Buy viagra online without prescription, there was a dyspeptic attack on Americans for Peace Now by my friend Philip Weiss on his blog, MondoWeiss. (Check it out at http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2007/11/foreign-affairs.html). It deserves a belated response.

In taking on a critique of Walt and Mearsheimer by Walter Russell Mead in Foreign Affairs, Weiss cites the following quote from Mead:

If everyone from AIPAC to Americans for Peace Now is part of the lobby, what, exactly, is the political agenda the lobby supports?...What is the relationship between the internal dynamics of this divided lobby and the politics and policies of both Israel and wider American society, ordering viagra from mexico.

"When it comes down to it, comprar en línea viagra, Mearsheimer and Walt do not seem to know who, exactly, belongs to this amoebic, Tennessee TN Tenn. , engulfing blob they call the lobby and who does not. Take their own case. They describe themselves as pro-Israel, in that they believe in the state's right to exist..."

Then Weiss responds:

I myself have faulted Mearsheimer and Walt for not being more precise about the lobby's borders. But how easy is it to be precise in such uncharted territory, order viagra online. Ordering viagra from mexico, It's not. Mead himself makes a fascinating mistake in his indictment. He crows that W&M have included "everyone from AIPAC to Americans for Peace Now". In fact, Connecticut CT Conn. , APN is part of AIPAC. APN is a member of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and all the members of the Conference of Presidents are on the AIPAC executive committee.

This is one of the marvels of the Israel lobby: it is a loose coalition, ordering viagra from mexico. When I learned as much earlier this year, I wondered why APN doesn't resign from AIPAC to protest AIPAC's role in the Iraq war, Rabatt kaufen viagra, or in the Syria Accountability Act, or in defending the settlements, or in supporting the Lebanon War. Purchase viagra, But APN doesn't resign. And no one starts an alternative lobby (and when George Soros notions it, the lobby suggests he was a collaborationist in Hungary during the Holocaust and Soros bows out).

This is modern Jewish history. Ordering viagra from mexico, My sense is that Jewish organizations, fearful for Israel's existence, tend to close rank when it comes to speaking to the U.S. government--and thereby allow the rightwing hardliners to be the court Jews, viagra kopen. This cultural/political/institutional mystery is not fully understood by Walt and Mearsheimer, no, but they have done a wonderful job under the circumstances."

So, Acheter viagra discount, is APN part of the cabal. Is it part of the problem. I'm on the APN Board. Am I part of the problem, ordering viagra from mexico. Weiss' argument echoes familiar accusations from the far left against slightly less radical Dems who attend their Party's convention and try to play a role in the drafting of platforms. The same argument is made against anyone who insists on a seat at the power table and then stays there even when they disagree with most of the people at the table, where to buy viagra. Given this country's disastrous Middle East policies, this is an understandable sentiment.

But, Cheap viagra no prescription, like his heroes Walt and Mearsheimer, Weiss is a relatively young student of the American Jewish community, its organizational structures, and its mechanisms of influence. Ordering viagra from mexico, In this case, he doesn’t have the faintest idea of what he is talking about.

Having a seat in the back of the room in AIPAC has not prevented APN from criticizing Congress or the White House, order viagra online legally, or addressing the White House directly. The reason why APN exists is to ensure that the hardliners whom Weiss glibly calls “court Jews” are NOT the only voices. When the Israeli government expands settlements or refuses to remove settlement outposts or takes other steps that make matters worse, Kjøp Discount viagra, APN speaks out publicly as well privately to the State Dept.

Weiss wants American Jews to rise up and speak out to prevent the Bush Administration from launching a military attack on Iran. So do I, ordering viagra from mexico. APN agrees with me and has publicly broken with much of the American Jewish community by calling for engagement with Iran, with a combination of carrots and sticks. Check out all of APN’s statements over the years, pharmacy viagra. Much of the organization’s work has been devoted to counter-acting ideas and people Weiss does not like. But because it is somehow formally connected with AIPAC, he wants no part of it. Ordering viagra from mexico, This is short-sighted. Alaska AK , Weiss does not understand what AIPAC’s “Executive Board” is. Calling APN a “member” of the Executive Board makes it seem like the group is part of a very important decision-making body. That is not accurate. What follows may seem like a pedantic riff on AIPAC’s structure, but the devil is in these details:

Every group in the 50-member Presidents Conference has a seat on the Executive Board, Maryland MD Md. , as Weiss notes. Besides APN, other dovish groups at that table include Ameinu, the Religious Action Center and the Union of Reform Judaism, ordering viagra from mexico.

That sounds impressive, since in most not-for-profit groups, Ordering viagra online without prescription, the “Executive Board” is a small, decision-making body, the people who oversee the staff. The "Board of Directors" is generally much larger and has less influence. But the reverse is true in AIPAC’s case: the “Board of Directors” is much smaller and, generic viagra, along with the staff, has the real power.

It didn’t used to be that way. Ordering viagra from mexico, In the 1980s, AIPAC became much more of an autonomous entity that didn’t answer to the American Jewish community. Köpa viagra, Its leaders wanted AIPAC to answer to AIPAC. As a result, the clout of AIPAC's Executive Board –and the Jewish organizations on that board--was gradually and deliberately diminished. This was accomplished by expanding the Executive Board to include large numbers of individual, major donors to AIPAC, cheap viagra overnight delivery. They now make up the majority of the Executive Board, not the Jewish groups.

The main function of the AIPAC Executive Board is to vote on general policy prescriptions during their policy conferences, ordering viagra from mexico. Those broad policies sometimes do help to nudge AIPAC in one direction or another, Kaufen viagra, but their impact is minimal on the day-to-day operations. Members of the Board also get briefings (at least twice a year, I believe) in Washington on AIPAC’s lobbying strategies and priorities.

So APN, as a group, District of Columbia DC D.C. , has little say in what AIPAC does. But even if APN sits at only a few of the power tables, that at least gives it the opportunity to speak truth to power, Viagra generic, and to know what our ideological adversaries are up to. Ordering viagra from mexico, Think of it as the Zionist equivalent of Log Cabin Republicans.

As Mearsheimer and Walt note, when AIPAC has pushed for legislation meant to impose Draconian restrictions on aid to the Palestinian Authority, APN and a few other groups have fought and sometimes succeeded in eliminating at least some of the most odious provisions. For that to happen, Delaware DE Del. , an organization needs to be plugged in. Membership on the Exec. Board does help in that regard. There are many other examples, ordering viagra from mexico. Generic viagra, The only way for APN to “resign” from AIPAC’s Exec. Board is to leave the Conference of Presidents. There may come a time when it makes sense to leave both. That time has not come. There are a lot of reasons for maintaining at least some connections with the Jewish communal establishment.

In fact, Mearsheimer and Walt offer a few different prescriptions towards the end of their book. One of them is “Convincing groups within the lobby to support a different agenda…In practice, this development could involve strengthening more moderate forces that already exist –such as Israel Policy Forum or Americans for Peace Now—or by creating new pro-Israel groups that support different policies.” Either way, little is going to be accomplished unless the liberal wing of the organized Jewish community is mobilized. And nothing is going to be accomplished by taking cheap shots at groups like APN.

Viagra Without Prescription

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

Viagra without prescription, I am quite certain that the following post will be the first discussion of the Jewish National Fund and Zionism to invoke the poet Wallace Stevens. People who appreciate Stevens tend to be amateur philosophers and a bit nerdy (yeah, I appreciate him), but if neither of those apply to you, buy viagra no prescription, please have patience and read this short poem anyway:

“Men Made Out of Words”

What should we be without the sexual myth,
The human reverie or poem of death. Arizona AZ Ariz. , Castratos of moon-mash - Life consists
Of propositions about life. The human
Reverie is a solitude in which

We compose these propositions, torn by dreams,
By the terrible incantations of defeats
And by the fear that defeats and dreams are one, comprare viagra sconto.

The whole race is a poet that writes down
The eccentric propositions of its fate.

This is not exactly original thinking, this notion that we create our own reality and organize our experiences and passions based on certain assumptions and myths. But I still remember that poem from college, while just about everything else I read back then has faded away, viagra without prescription. Oregon OR Ore. , Stevens came to mind amidst the controversy over a preliminary Knesset bill that would sanction discrimination against Israeli Arabs who wish to purchase State-managed land. That land is owned by the Israel-based Keren Kayemeth [Jewish National Fund]. The bill has been described and attacked in my previous posts.

If ever there was an eccentric proposition, kjøpe viagra online, it was Theodor Hertzl’s, who held that after centuries of dispersal and torment, Buy viagra, the Jews had no alternative but to create their own homeland in Palestine, as nothing else –NOTHING else—could solve the problems inherent in exile. Viagra without prescription, When Dr. Max Nordau, who became one of Hertzl’s early supporters in Vienna, buy viagra online, first met him, he reportedly told Herzl:“You are mad!” Than Nordau threw his arms around him and said “And I am mad, Viagra sale, too!” (or words to that effect). But the fact that the idea was eccentric did not mean it was wrong

Another proposition, that Jews around the world had an obligation to help make the land of Israel thrive, and that slipping coins into a little blue collection box would help to preserve and protect the Jewish people, Rhode Island RI R.I. , was the basis for the Jewish National Fund. It was one of the organizing myths of Diaspora Jewry and of my childhood. Buy viagra online without prescription, But the blogosphere is filled with recent displays of anguish and anger from people –many of them Zionists--who realize that it is time to rewrite or update both propositions. These reactions have been prompted by the aforementioned Knesset bill, viagra without prescription. It has appalled liberal Diaspora and Israeli Jews (and, of course, non-Jews), παραγγείλετε online viagra, because an official “Jews-only” land policy is both morally wrong and a monumentally stupid message to send to an unsympathetic, increasingly hostile world. Discount viagra, On my blog, a commentator called “Allan” wrote:

I think that all of us who brought our nickels [sic] and dimes to Hebrew school for donation to the JNF should demand our money back. In my case, this would probably be about $20.00, purchase viagra online, which was quite a lot for my parents back in the fifties. Add in the interest and you’re talking money. Viagra without prescription, I remember our teacher calling role. Viagra prescription, In response to our name we answered “Hineni. Yesh li tsedakah. (Here I am. I have my charity.)” Hineni, New Mexico NM N.Mex. . Give me the money back, viagra without prescription.

My family should get a refund of the money my grandmother put in her pushka (charity box). I can remember it clearly hanging on her kitchen wall with its blue and white map of Eretz Yisroel. Washington WA Wash. , I also want a refund of the dimes I brought to buy trees in Israel. For years I wondered where my trees were planted. Viagra without prescription, It is quite likely, I’ve since learned, that they are located in parks developed to hide the sites of former Arab villages destroyed in 1949.

Equally poignant reactions can be found in the comments on two web petitions against the bill. One petition was initiated by Jewish and Israeli bloggers led by Richard Silverstein. The other, viagra farmacia a buon mercato, posted by Ameinu, was mostly copied from a letter from that group to Ze’ev Elkin, Acheter en ligne viagra, one of the Knesset bill’s sponsors (Full disclosure: I wrote that letter). Here are some comments to be found on the petitions’ web sites:

o--:“As someone who, with my Cousin Gabi Bauer (Kityat Motzkin) has sponsored a 100 tree forest in honor of our grandfather, Rabbi Jacob Winter, Idaho ID , for 50 years Senior Rabbi in Dresden, Germany, Generic viagra, I am thoroughly against the legislation being proposed. It discriminates against citizens of Israel and is against our basic values."

o--“If this decision holds and civil rights are denied Israel's Arab citizens--I wish I could take back every penny I gave to the JNF growing up!”

o--“While the reasons for buying land for Jewish settlement were valid in the past, they no longer are valid. JNF housing developments must be open to all citizens of Israel.”

p—“What has happened to the Israel I knew in the 40's, viagra without prescription. Is that what I fought for in the Milchemet Ha’atzma?”

These good people realize that many propositions need to be re-written, billige viagra Apotheke, as circumstances change, and also as new facts about old events come to light. Ordering viagra pills, Re-visiting and then rewriting them is a sign of political and emotional maturity.

In today’s Jerusalem Post, Rabbi Andrew Davids of the Association of Reform Zionists puts it well:

Though the JNF was entrusted with bringing a Jewish state into being, some institutions need to be `reevaluated, buy generic viagra,' said Davids. `What we are seeing is the maturation of an Israeli democratic society, West Virginia WV W.Va. , and some institutions need to be reevaluated with regards to the current demographics. Viagra without prescription, Israel will never be a state exclusively for Jews,' he said.

I continue to believe it was a necessary step for Jews to carve out a little state of their own, for all of its flaws. But now that it’s here, do we really want to insist on preserving relics from another time, another world, halvalla viagra apteekki. Apparently Russell Robinson, the JNF –USA’s Executive Director, thinks so. Here is his astonishing statement from the same Jerusalem Post story:

“It's important for us who had a covenant with the donors, that we honor that covenant…For 2000 years, I don't remember that we were praying and dreaming that we can't wait to establish a democratic state in the Middle East, but we did say that we can't wait to reestablish a Jewish homeland.

Excuse me. Along with ending the occupation, the most daunting challenge faced by Israel is to remain a democracy with a Jewish majority that affords equal rights and a sense of belonging to Israel’s Arab citizens. The anti-Israel left and the far right in Israel believe that is impossible, viagra without prescription. Many Israelis (Jews and Arabs) and their supporters overseas believe it can and must be done (with, for example, aggressive affirmative action programs to close the economic and educational gaps, mandatory teaching of Arabic in all public schools, a civil service option for Israel Arabs who can’t serve in the military, declaring that Israel is a “state for all its citizens” and other measures).

But rather than trying to figure out how to address the challenge, the man responsible for the JNF in the U.S. has apparently thrown up his hands and said, “Forget democracy. That’s a minor priority.”

No it isn’t. Viagra without prescription, We should be “praying and dreaming” that the problems of Israel’s Arabs citizens will be solved, rather than telling them that they will never have the same rights as their Jewish neighbors. That’s the task ahead for Israel. It won’t be accomplished by scribbling the same propositions, again and again. Too many of them are based on a time when the “terrible incantations of defeats” were still ringing in our ears. The Jews have won. The state is here. But the victory will always be partial unless and until that state is reinvented so that one fifth of its citizens feel like they have a stake in it

I think of Hannah often these days, now that I have begun to wade into the difficult task of conversing with the left on Israel. She is from Australia, in her late 50s, and has lived in Israel since the early ’70s. Hannah (not her real name) is one of the brave, tireless, […]

More conversations about one state vs. two states

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

All right, let’s say you believe everything about Israel is worthy of contempt and insult, and the Jews should never have set foot in Palestine, and the whole Zionist enterprise must be halted.

So what do you want to do? Short of throwing out millions of Israeli Jews by force (which, of course, is an […]
