"Shoot the IDF solider game"


The Darfur Smokescreen:
In both cases—Bush on Darfur and Clinton on Kosovo—the cry of genocide and "humanitarian" intervention is used to cover the US government's imperial machinations to reduce a state (respectively Sudan and Serbia) that was unreliable from the US/Israeli POV.

Most alarming to Jewish leaders was their talk about administration neoconservatives who happen to be Jewish — and who have “attachments that shape how they think about the Middle East,” according to Walt.

That theme caught the attention of the Catholic League for Civil Rights. Bill Donohue, the league’s president, said that Walt and Mearsheimer “are promoting the invidious notion that Jewish neoconservatives are not to be trusted as their real loyalties lie elsewhere.”

That, Donohue said, raises alarm bells within his own community.

“As American Catholics, we are all too familiar with the old canard about ‘dual loyalties,’” he said. “Indeed, this smear tactic has been hurled at us for over 200 years. Just as we deeply resent accusations that American Catholics cannot think and act independent of the Vatican, we find it abhorrent when it is said or implied that American Jews cannot think and act independent of Israel. “

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will meet President Bush in Washington in November. Olmert, who met in Jerusalem on Wednesday with Condoleezza Rice, the U.S. secretary of state, told a Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations' conference call on Thursday that he would meet Bush on his way to Los Angeles for the General Assembly of the United Jewish Communities, which is scheduled for Nov. 12-15.

Representatives of the major world powers will meet Friday to consider Iran and its nuclear program. Delegates from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China will meet in London, the U.S. State Department said in a statement Thursday. Iran has rebuffed demands by the six nations that it stop enriching uranium, a key step in making a nuclear weapon, although Iran denies that is its intention.

U.S. Jewish officials opposed a planned meeting between Condoleezza Rice and members of a Palestinian terrorist group linked to the Fatah Party.

An Israeli was arrested for allegedly threatening to attack a major Muslim shrine in Jerusalem. Police said the suspect, described in media reports as a 51-year-old rabbi, was taken into custody Wednesday after announcing in the lobby of a Tel Aviv hotel that he would carry out an attack in the Temple Mount, an apparent reference to the Al-Aksa Mosque located there.

Britain's police launched an investigation after a Muslim officer was relieved of duties at the Israeli Embassy in London.

The UJA-Federation of New York will allocate $9.3 million from its Israel Emergency Campaign to a northern Israeli city.

A Belgian politician known for his antipathy toward Islamic immigrants has called for an alliance with Jews.
