At present there is a delegation visiting Israel and the Occupied Territories of Palestine. The group is simply known as The Elders, which is made up of twelve prominent politicians, including former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, former US President Jimmy Carter, former Irish President Mary Robinson and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Obama’s latest ‘shtick‘ is to agree to Israel’s request to remove East Jerusalem from negotiations on the impending settlement freeze. And why not? Israel will do whatever it wants to do regardless. You can read the details to that HERE.
And in Gaza, the killing continues daily…. today fishermen were the target of Israeli Navy personel….
The settlements continue, the genocide continues, all being witnessed by the visiting ‘Elders’…. and Israel just doesn’t give a damn!
Medics say Israeli forces killed Gaza fisherman
Funeral for Al-Attar in Beit Lahiya [MaanImages]
A Palestinian man was killed and another injured on Thursday when Israel’s navy shelled a fishing boat just off the coast of the northern Gaza Strip, medical officials told Ma’an.
However an Israeli military spokesman denied the navy had anything to do with the incident. He said naval forces did not fire on the boat, nor otherwise cause the death of a man onboard.
But earlier Thursday Dr Mu’awiyah Hassanein, the director of emergency and ambulance services at Gaza’s Health Ministry, said Israeli shells killed 25-year-old Muhammad Nady Al-Attar when his head was severed from his body.
One other fisherman was injured in the incident, which reportedly occurred while the two were fishing.
Al-Attar was buried later on Thursday after a funeral procession in his home town of Beit Lahiya.

The Obamanation cheers with glee at U.S. capitulation to Israel. Palestinians must take matters, their very future, into their own hands and declare themselves free and sovereign.
sovereign |ˈsäv(ə)rən|
adjective
possessing supreme or ultimate power : in modern democracies the people’s will is in theory sovereign.
• [ attrib. ] (of a nation or state) fully independent and determining its own affairs : a sovereign, democratic republic.
Israel can crawl back inside those pre-1967 borders and live as “civilized” people.

now we are back to an ordinary atrocity, one that will get ignored by the media and if reported, wil not raise any alarm from israel…why? because it can be claimed as revenge.

President Obama’s weakening on East Jerusalem will be the first of many concessions. America is actually rewarding Israel after PM Netanyahu refused a complete settlement freeze by including “crippling” sanctions on Iran. George Mitchell called his meeting with Netanyahu “very productive.” While Obama publicly exploits the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to win Muslim popularity, his backroom actions reveal his true position.

It is amazing how USers revel in the humiliation of their own nation.
USA is a doomed nation because of its people being reduced to a debased level of slavishness.

this is sad… im ashamed to live in this country, as an African (born in amerikkka) I was aware that things could only get worse under Obama he stopped the revolution blacks are as in love with him as white women are though the latter seem to be waking up the former will stand by this “important” historical figure, they have the nerve to put him on posters next to the likes of Malcolm X, MLK, or Marcus Garvey… makes me want to vomit as this man NEVER said he’d help anyone but Israel from the begging, I was a part of that middle class that was and continues to be destroyed and im pissed -again! but the people are still on a honeymoon…Im at a loss here feeling kinda hopeless an i have no spare change and am appalled at the Obamination as the more things “Change” the more they stay the same -or in this case get worse

How can anyone be so foolish as to think Israel will ever care? We are all goyim and only the opinion of the chosen of Lucifer matters. One turned to Cynthia McKinley and said, “In Israel there IS NO UN.”
The only thing they care about is making themselves look the victim and that the other guy is responsible for everything as we saw over their excuse for starting the massacre last December. Why they insist on control over the media is not about truth but more that they will send out multiple versions of each story because of the policies they are pursuing with those various groups.
We know they do NOT want anyone to know about the oil/gas reserves off the shores of Gaza that they are developing with Egypt and Britain. So they kill with impunity. I saw photos of two fisher BOYS under 10 on little floatie things the size of a footstool shot at. They use this as a way to starve the people but also to hide the stealing of natural wealth.
AND NEVER forget. The rest of us are goyim. According to basic Talmud law, we goyim are not human as they are. THEY after all are the beloved chosen of their god Lucifer. They owe us NOTHING because we are chattel/cattle.
And even when they lie, which they always do, they don’t care if we believe or not. Because if we don’t and say so, we will be told we are anti semitic and have forgotten the lessons of the holoco$t!

Oh I forgot to mention, I hold both America and Israel together in ALL of these things. Including the massacre of Iraq. They both want control over all the oil in the area so share the same goals.
The fuss over Obama vs NetanYAHOOOO is no more than a staged good cop / bad cop scenario. They occasionally make themselves seem to be at odds so that people do not suspect how closely they both collaborate in everything.
And yes, I have no proof of this, but the actions of the past 50 years have shown this to be true but only since the USS Liberty has it become obvious. And on the Chabad Lubanovich home site, GW Bush is shown to be a member of the sect. As were quite a few of the men under his command.
The Noahyde Laws are already part of AMerican law and I have a feeling also in my own country, Canada. That says a lot about allegiances.

Of course USA is under Israeli occupation. Israeli’s are God’s Chosen people. Some God!!! In this vast Universe, this God whose existence none can conclusively prove, favors a a few million of subhumans whose crimes are too many to even list. Religion has always been a tool of the few to control the many.

‘ One turned to Cynthia McKinley and said, “In Israel there IS NO UN.”
Then that means the UN handing of palestine territory to the zionists is also null and void!If they dont recognise the UN in israel, they cant use it to justify israels legitimacy.
