3/3/2010 - Arab source: Mitchell wanted to quit over U.S. bias for Israel
Peace talks were halted more than a year ago over the war in the Gaza Strip and have not resumed, due largely to a Palestinian demand that Israel first impose a complete freeze on building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Israel's refusal to do so. Who is the problem here? When the world says peace, Israel thinks they say 'PIECE' as in, another piece of Palestine. To which they reply 'don't mind if we do!'.

With unemployment rates hovering at around 10% (more than double what they were two years ago), one ripple effect of America’s recession is increased immigration to Israel. It is no panacea. But unemployment there is hovering at around 8%, while the economy overall has contracted less than in the United States and now appears on the way back to growth. “Israel has proved to be resilient to this particular global shock,” Then they don't need the hard-earned taxpayer dollars of true American patriots - those who pledge allegiance to the flag of this country alone.

Foreign policy questions are rarely raised by Tea Party activists in articles and events.

will often go back and change the headline, add content and the like. CNN removed vital facts from an article

I find it completely unacceptable for a reputable news source to make such changes

ADL CALLS SUCH TALK BY ANYONE ELSE THE PROPAGATION OF 'ANTI-SEMITIC CANARDS'
"You have to screen out the background noise and see whether the basics have changed," he said. "Jewish Americans have a pretty good position. When Democrats are in charge, they automatically have a lot of influence. And when Republicans are in charge, they have a lot of influence because Republicans have to be responsive to their fundamentalist Christian constituency. In that ideology, Israel is very important." - Jewish Telegraph Agency
If what Israel is doing is just and right, then why are AIPAC and all of the other pro-Israel lobbies, thinktanks, media watchdog organizations, Hasbara committees, and all of the time, effort and money spent on trying to influence the people and the government of the United States of America necessary?
And why does the United States stand virtually alone in the world in its unwavering support of Israel?
