The Israel connection
The majority of American citizens want the troops out of Iraq. What are "our representatives" in Congress doing? They are ignoring us. That's because Israel, the Israeli lobby, AIPAC, and the Jewish-owned and operated media shilling for Israel are all wielding a power over this once-great nation grossly disproportionate to their numbers. The Jewish lobby controls our politicians, and the Jewish media protects the president and spreads Israeli propaganda. Fortune magazine placed AIPAC as the second most powerful lobby in Washington and behind AARP.
Israel receives more U.S. aid than any other nation. Contributions to AIPAC are tax-deductible. Wealthy Jewish professionals contribute millions to both AIPAC and Israel, providing a virtual unlimited cash pool to fund American politicians' campaigns.
Remember how Israel clamored for American involvement to destroy Iraq and remove Saddam, Israel's former greatest threat. Now, AIPAC and Israel are pushing for us to invade and destroy Iran. Do either AIPAC or Israel care that this might ignite WW III?
Remember the AIPAC battle cry: "Israel has a right to exist." Yes, but what about Palestine?
Federal appeals court panel refuses to reinstate lawsuit by family of U.S. activist killed by Israeli bulldozer
A federal appeals court panel has refused to reinstate a lawsuit brought against Caterpillar Inc. by the family of a 23-year-old American peace activist crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer.
The three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the lawsuit presented foreign policy questions best left to the White House.
Rachel Corrie, of Olympia, Washington, was crushed in 2003 by a 60-ton (54 metric tons) Israeli bulldozer as she stood before a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip. Her parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, sued Peoria, Illinois-based Caterpillar, which manufactured the bulldozer, seeking to hold the company civilly liable for aiding and abetting human rights violations — the destruction of civilian homes.
Four Palestinian families whose relatives were killed or injured when the Israeli Defense Forces flattened their homes joined the Corries in filing suit.
A U.S. District Court judge in Tacoma dismissed the lawsuit in 2005, agreeing with the company's argument that it was not responsible for how the Israeli army used its product.
