Nearly all Democrats of note have expressed unquestioning support of Israel’s insanely over the top “response” to so-called “terrorists” in Palestine. Not my man Kucinich.
He’s not only condemned it, but has referred to it as “disproportionate, mass violence” that is a “violation of international law” that Israel is not exempt from.
Kucinich likened the Israeli attacks on Gaza to its war with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in 2006. In both cases, he said, civilian populations were attacked and “countless innocents” were killed or injured.
“All this was, and is, disproportionate, indiscriminate mass violence in violation of international law,” Kucinich said in a statement. “Israel is not exempt from international law and must be held accountable.”
It does my heart good to hear an American politician publicly condemning Israel. It has killed over 300 people in three days (compared to one death in the entire history of rockets being fired into Israel). It’s planning a ground invasion soon and has declared that Israel will continue it’s assault against Palestine until “the bitter end” and that the worst is yet to come.

These are the words of an Egyptian lawyer named Nagla Al Imam in an interview where she, yes SHE, encourages Arabic men to sexually harass Israeli women and girls as a new form of resistance.
Why does she support such behaviour? Because “they [Israelis] violate our rights, and they rape the land”. She goes on to state that there are “few things” that “are as grave as the rape of the land”.
This apparently includes raping actual human women as Al Imam has also attacked a rape victim. Al Imam has apparently called the woman a liar and wants her deported for “unsettling Egyptian sentiments”.
Nagla Al Imam, a lawyer who initially voiced support for Rushdi, has also taken to the airwaves, claiming the young woman lied about her charges and argued that she is an Israeli and should be deported for “unsettling Egyptian sentiments”.
What makes this even worse is that Al Imam is also the head of a human rights organisation and when asked about her rationalization for supporting such a hateful, bigoted idea stated that it’s only fair that that Israeli women be treated as poorly as Arabic women.
Interviewer: As a lawyer, don’t you think this might expose Arab youth to punishment for violating laws against sexual harassment?
Nagla Al-Imam: Most Arab countries… With the exception of three or four Arab countries, which I don’t think allow Israeli women to enter anyway, most Arab countries do not have sexual harassment laws. Therefore, if [Arab women] are fair game for Arab men, there is nothing wrong with Israeli women being fair game as well.
The victimization of one group is okay since another group is also being victimized in the same manner? WTF? It’s so absurd it’s almost unbelievable. How can anyone think like this?
Hate. It boggles the mind, doesn’t it?

America is home to one of the oldest terrorist groups – the KKK. A combination of Christian and white supremacy, hate for the Jews is rampant amongst its members as well as other such groups that have been birthed upon these shores since the end of the second world war.
Navigate through their various websites, pamphlets, books and other media and you’ll quite quickly learn how deep and entrenched the hatred of Jews is in these organizations. They call our government “ZOG” – code for the Zionist Occupied Government and preach of a coming war wherein they’ll overthrow this government and establish a government based upon the supremacy of Christianity and the White ‘Race’.
So, what if it was America that Israel decided it needed to ‘defend’ itself against? What if we were the ones hiding in bunkers while our cities, airports, docks and business were bombed because Israel alleged *we* harboured anti-Jewish terrorists?
How many of us would be standing up and saying Israel has a right to bomb us?
