Monday July 16th 2007, 7:00 pm
According
to Einstein’s observation, insanity is doing the same thing
over and
over again and expecting different results. In regard to Israel and the
Palestinians, however, doing the same thing over and over is not
insanity but rather a calculated act on the part of Israel designed to
produce a predictable and long sought after result, namely to submerge
the Palestinians in formaldehyde. Recall Dov Weisglass ,
former Ariel Sharon chief of staff and now “point man in the
US,”
declaring that “disengagement” from Gaza supplied
“the amount of
formaldehyde that is necessary so there will not be a political process
with the Palestinians,” as the Israelis have no intention of
allowing a
Palestinian state, let alone obeying international law and various
United Nations resolutions calling for an end to the occupation of
Palestinian land.

End
the War in Iraq Starting Tonight!
From our colleagues at
The
National Organization for Women
ACT TONIGHT!
While a few Republicans are now calling for a change in the Iraq
strategy, the vast majority of that party continues to block full
Senate votes on measures that would begin to end the war in Iraq. Many
more Republicans are blocking a vote on the Levin-Reed Amendment, which
would require the President to take necessary steps to end the war in
Iraq.
Tired of being blamed for Republican delays, Senate Democrats
are keeping the U.S. capitol open and the Senate in session
all night tonight, Tuesday
, to expose the Republican non-stop filibuster tactics and make it
clear who is REALLY blocking a vote on ending the war.
Take Action: email
your senators tonight!
The Senate Republicans have filibustered or blocked more full Senate
votes on important issues, including the Iraq war timetable, in the
past six months than any other six month period in the history of the
U.S. Senate.
As Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) leads this all-nighter to expose
the filibuster to the public and to force Republicans to defend their
decision to continue the war in Iraq, you can let your senators know
that you want to bring the troops home now. Show your support for this
act of leadership by writing to your senators now.
Take Action:
email your senators tonight!

A
federal judge has ruled that President Clinton cannot use the power of
his office to block prosecutors from
questioning his senior aides,
rejecting Clinton's assertion of executive privilege in the Monica S.
Lewinsky investigation, lawyers familiar with the decision said
yesterday. In a ruling issued under court
seal Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson concluded
that independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr's need
to collect evidence in his obstruction of justice probe outweighs
Clinton's interest in preserving the confidentiality of White House
discussions, the lawyers said.

State-Sponsored Terrorism
POL POT OF THE AFGHAN SKIES Over the past few months, the United States forces in Afghanistan have set out to prove that its air force could kill more civilians than the number achieved by the Taliban. This is the daring strategy devised to defeat the Taliban by U.S. General Dan McNeill, known as "Bomber" to his troops. This week his goal was achieved. UN and local rights groups tallied 314 civilians killed by McNeil's forces and 279 killed by the Taliban and associates. How was this achieved? One example in March, was the four women, four children under 5 years old and an 80-year-old man killed when McNeil's bombers reduced their home in Kapissa to a mud brick rubble. This apparently was the fault of civilians for living in populated areas that can provide a shelter for Taliban on the run. And no doubt the 100 people killed when six homes were flattened in the Girishk district were responsible for their own slaughter. (SEE http://tinyurl.com/2m6nmf )

Dems
Watch Israel Funding
Ron Kampeas

JULY 11,
2007
Washington
Democrats raced to voice public outrage after Republicans in
the U.S.
House of Representatives voted two weeks ago against a foreign
operations bill with money for Israel. In private, however, some
Democrats are worrying that the next challenge to such funding measures
could come from their own ranks.
About 80 percent of House Republicans were part of the failed attempt
to defeat the $34 billion foreign operations bill, citing objections to
funding organizations that provide abortion services overseas, not the
$2.4 billion for Israel. Democrats are concerned that the precedent of
bloc voting against such funding measures could embolden members of
their own party to take similar steps.
Top Democrats say as many as 60 of their fellow party members in the
House have long complained about foreign aid and, in theory, could end
up forming a bipartisan majority with the 161 Republicans who rejected
the foreign operations bill. "The leap from 161 to 218 is scary to me,"
one Democrat said, speaking on the condition of anonymity about the
prospect of defeat for the bill.
[your tax dollars at work]
Such calculations are especially critical now that Israel is
renegotiating its aid package, with the hopes of increasing the $2.4
billion it receives annually from the United States by half a billion
dollars. And the debate over foreign aid comes as some Democrats are
also beginning to question whether the United States should be doing
more to support moderate Palestinians as they battle with Hamas and
seek to negotiate with Israel. The first test of how to deal with
Democratic challenges to the aid package came just a week after the
House vote when the Senate Appropriations Committee considered its own
funding measure.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of the committee's
foreign operations subcommittee, proposed across-the-board cuts and
other subtle
changes that could have hurt Israel's funding packages, sources say.
Democrats who spoke off the record said Leahy is among several
lawmakers in their party who generally support Israel, but is not
necessarily as committed to funding for the Jewish state as pro-Israel
groups, led by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Leahy also
managed to put into the Senate bill a provision ending a 13-year-old
ban on U.S. diplomats meeting Palestinians in Jerusalem, once
considered a critical bulwark against recognizing Palestinian claims to
the city.
"The committee felt that our diplomats should be in a position to make
their own judgments about where they meet and what they are able to
discuss with anybody in any country," a Leahy aide said. Observers said
some committee members were not aware of the language and that it may
be challenged when it comes before the full Senate.
Some Democrats worry that more of their own will feel more comfortable
breaking with the pro-Israel lobby on various points, blaming what they
describe as the failure of AIPAC to speak out against the Republican
leadership for instructing members to oppose the foreign operations
bill. "Republicans have turned around and said 'Israel? Um, not so
much," one Democrat said. "If some in our caucus think this isn't the
third rail, there are Democrats who can say 'not so much.' The
Democrats being discussed are not the ones on the margins who are well
known for their criticism of the U.S.-Israel relationship, such as the
Quixotic
perennial presidential peace candidate Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio
congressman, or U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii.
Instead, the potential defectors are lawmakers who at times have voiced
moderate, cautious criticisms of Jerusalem's actions but until now have
voted in favor of funding for Israel. They include the chairman of the
appropriations committee, Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin, as well as
Reps. Betty McCollum of Minnesota and David Price of North Carolina.
Democrats who spoke to JTA stressed two points: The Democrats in
question are not beyond suasion; it's less a matter of having lost them
on the funding issue than having to spend a little extra time and
energy winning their support. In some cases, potential Democratic
objections to foreign aid might have nothing to do with Israel. Some
"Blue Dog," or conservative, Democrats trend isolationist and want to
redirect foreign funds stateside. Other Democrats want to register
protest votes against what they believe is America's under funding of
Africa and other impoverished regions. Finally, regaining both houses
of Congress for the first time since 1994 has led many Democrats in
power to reassess congressional priorities, including Israel.
In the Senate, all eyes are focused on Leahy. According to observers,
Leahy
last week attempted to introduce a 0.1 percent levy on defense grants
that
would be spent monitoring how the allocations were spent The concern:
Making certain that the United States does not end up funding human
rights abuses, a cause Democrats, particularly Leahy, have favored
since the Iran-Contra scandals of the 1980s. The problem: Even 0.1
percent amounts to a considerable chunk $2.4 million of the
$2.4
billion Israel receives in defense cash from the United States. The
outcome: Israel, Egypt and Colombia were exempted from the
across-the-board levy. Pro-Israel lobbyists made sure committee members
knew that oversight was already written into Israel funding, suggesting
that any additional spending on monitoring would be gratuitous.
Democrats involved in the back-and-forth said Leahy was receptive to
exempting Israel from the levy and other changes that strengthened
Israel's bid, and that the exchanges were always amicable.

Senate Panel Approves $2.4 Billion in Aid to Israel
00:00 7/2/2007, AIPAC - Today's Briefing
The Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday approved by a 28-1 vote
$2.4
billion in military aid to Israel as part of the fiscal year 2008
foreign aid
bill. The bill also includes $40 million in assistance to help Israel
absorb
refugees and key provisions to help Israel maximize the effectiveness
of the
aid. The aid represents the last year of a 10-year plan between Israel
and the
United States to phase out economic aid to Israel while gradually
increasing
the amount of military assistance. The House of Representatives passed
its
version of the bill, which also includes the same levels of funding for
Israel, on June 21 by a vote of 241-178. The United States and Israel
are now
discussing a new 10-year aid plan aimed at ensuring the Jewish state's
qualitative military edge over potential adversaries.

White
House Manual for Silencing Critics
July 9, 2007 By Matthew Rothschild
S o the truth
comes out.
After a myriad of stories about people being excluded from
events where the President is speaking, now we know that the White
House had a policy manual on just how to do so.
Called the “Presidential Advance Manual,”
this 103-page document from the Office of Presidential Advance lays out
the parameters for how to handle protesters at events.
“Always be prepared for demonstrators,”
says the document, which is dated October 2002 and which the ACLU
released as part of a new lawsuit. (For a copy of the lawsuit or the
document itself, go to www.aclu.org/freespeech/protest/silenced.html .)
In a section entitled “Preventing
Demonstrators,” the document says: “All
Presidential events must be ticketed or accessed by a name list. This
is the best method for preventing demonstrators. People who are
obviously going to try to disrupt the event can be denied entrance at
least to the VIP area between the stage and the main camera platform. .
. . It is important to have your volunteers at a checkpoint before the
Magnetometers in order to stop a demonstrator from getting into the
event. Look for signs they may be carrying, and if need be, have
volunteers check for folded cloth signs that demonstrators may be
bringing.”
In another section, entitled “Preparing for
Demonstrators,” the document makes clear that the intention
is to deprive protesters of the right to be seen or heard by the
President: “As always, work with the Secret Service and have
them ask the local police department to designate a protest area where
demonstrators can be placed, preferably not in view of the event site
or motorcade route.”
The document also recommends drowning out protesters or
blocking their signs by using what it calls “rally
squads.” It states: “These squads should be
instructed always to look for demonstrators. The rally
squad’s task is to use their signs and banners as shields
between the demonstrators and the main press platform. If the
demonstrators are yelling, rally squads can begin and lead supportive
chants to drown out the protestors (USA!, USA!, USA!). As a last
resort, security should remove the demonstrators from the event
site.”
The document offered advice on how to recruit members for such
squads: “The rally squads can include, but are not limited
to, college/young republican organizations, local athletic teams, and
fraternities/sororities.”
The document does contain a warning in bold, however: “Remember—avoid
physical contact with demonstrators.” It also
advises to make sure that whatever action is taken to drown out the
demonstrators does not “cause more negative publicity than if
the demonstrators were simply left alone.”
