Israel is at the receiving end of so much hate. Have Israelis reflected on why this antipathy is only growing , and what do they think they should do to stem it? Is there something in Israels behaviour that makes it so reviled ? The oibvious answerIsraelis will come up with, is that its all antisemitism , but it is this de legitimisation which is the biggest threat to Israels long term survival . Do Israelis get it or are they just tired of it,so ignore it to their peril and carry on building settlements?

Michael Lumish Why hasnt the US recognised Jerusalem as the Israeli capital … and why hasnt it supported the settlement enterprise completely?….. Even a monkey can only jump so much and no more.

If AIPAC did not have the huge influence it has over the American establishment, The US would not have used its veto so unreservedly and provided Israel with a blank cheque.. a cheque which is undermining American interests hugely.But for AIPAC the Americans could well have been board in isolating and boycotting Israel, just like Israels erstwhile chums in aparthied S Africa were.
But for AIPAC, Netanyahu would not have dared to spit in the Amnerican prez's eye.

.. I have bowed out of the local interfaith Holocaust service, because it was a custom to include Hatikvah at the end, but now some Christian groups object as they support the Palestinians and the Muslim Imams would either sit or leave during the Hatikvah. Perhaps interfaith Holocaust programs no longer make sense, at least to me. I do not need the stress of seeing disrespect being afforded to Israel and nor do I wish to compromise by leaving Hatikvah out. This is a personal choice and I DO NOT ADVOCATE ANYONE NOT PARTICIPATING IN ANY INTERFAITH HOLOCAUST SERVICE. I INTRODUCED INTERFAITH HOLOCAUST SERVICES IN 1974 AND WAS ONE OF THE FIRST IF NOT THE FIRST TO DO SO. Perhaps it should be called INTERFAITH GENOCIDE SERVICE OR INTERFAITH DAY FOR VICTIMS OF PERSECUTION. IF I was a Palestinian or a Muslim , I WOULD FEEL AS THEY DO. BUT I AM A JEW AND A ZIONIST. This was a difficult decision for me based on personal principle. The interfaith Holocaust memorials started as well intentioned way for the Jewish people and other groups to pause and reflect on man's capacity to perpetuate unbelievable cruelty against his fellow and to commiserate as a group and others, with the Jews and hopefully prevent this nightmare from reoccurring. Over the years it was understandably modified to include other victims of genocidal mass killings, though these mass killings were not really analogous, as the Nazis were obsessed at not just killing Jews as a competing group, but Hitler desired to eliminate our creed and it's pervasive influence on humanity. As a result of extremist Muslim participation and twisted liberalism, this is morphing into a twisted canard where Israel is being blamed for perpetuating ethnic killings against the Palestinians as the Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis. One can understand the Islamo-Nazis belief system with a quote from the Talmud. We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are. RABBI DR.

Nonsense. Pure anti-Semitic hogwash. If AIPAC controlled congress the US would have recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel long ago. You're just a racist, that's all.

The established fact remains, that the AIPAC has Uncle Sam by where the monkey had his nuts.

You missed the part where he extolls Hamas to "keep hate (of Jews) alive" (sic). i.e. (sick). He's about to become Obama's second best buddy after Erdogan.
