Israel is a US military base that exists to protect the oil companies' profits in the Middle East. The US Government is using the Jewish community, aided by the richer and reactionary sector of the religious Jewish community, as a front for this anti-labor hellhole, built on the genocide of the Palestinians and the theft of Palestinian land, just as horrific as the genocide of the Native Americans and the theft of Native American land by the European settlers and their American lackeys. The major difference is that the Palestinian community is definitely part of the modern world and not a stone age culture, although in either case, there was and is no excuse for genocide, theft of the land, and destruction of homes and crops.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is coming to the San Francisco and Oakland on Monday Dec 13 to promote its agenda to local governement leaders and Bay Area organizations. AIPAC is a powerful political lobby that pushes for continued US congressional funding of the Israeli military and settlement activities while promoting Israel's foreign policies in the US governent. AIPAC is also currently under investigation by the FBI for their role in an espionage case.
The United States currently supplies Israel with $5 billion in direct aid every year most of which goes to funding the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory and the attendant policies of that occupation, including home demolitions, attacks on civilains, the destruction of vital farmland and the overall confiscation of Palestinian land and resources. AIPAC's lobbying has helped finance the Israeli army which, has in four years, closed, occupied, destroyed or damaged over 1000 Palestinian schools.

All Democratic and Republicans officials by definition support Israel, from Rep Barbara Lee to Rep Nancy Pelosi to San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano to Tom Hayden (former California state representative) and Jane Fonda. Barbara Lee joined the whole stinking Congress in voting for a resolution praising the butcher of Palestine, Ariel Sharon.

Beagle evidently figures he's in a position to determine what constitutes acceptable editorial conduct and he ostensibly deems pro-Palestinian censorship acceptable whereas what appears to him like pro-Israel censorship he considers unacceptable.
Please do hide this thread and his above post.
