Campaigning against Israeli apartheid has resulted in 23 US citizen Palestinian solidarity activists facing US federal grand jury

Is this possible YES

Could the land of the free, be infected by some anti freedom virus. So it appears!

Tell me America, where might all this end! Turmoil for America.

Hey Jo, another good pick of the day. You are getting good at this.

Hi Alif old boy, good to see ya!!#

Is this possible YES. Our government is all about prevention rather than cure.

President Obama and this administration have worked tirelessly, in both word and deed, across the UN system, to ensure that Israel's legitimacy is beyond dispute and that Israel has the opportunity to contribute fully to all institutions to which it belongs,"

The government will always stand by Israel, its the people that are getting fed up with their ways, and treatment of people. The government has seen this trend, and is trying to change that opinion, but as more people see exactly what Israel as become, it will be harder and harder.

All the old gang:) yay!

Criminalisation of protest in the land of the free?

Here we are. Blame America first people. I am tired of hearing from the whining liberal haters of America and our allies around the world. The time is coming when people need to realise weather they are Americans or not. 23 of them are going to get a chance. IMO, the can all go live in Palestine if it means so much to them.

Is this possible? Could the land of the free, be infected by some anti freedom virus?

America, "Land of the Free", as long as your opinion is in lock step with the establishment.

If not, well... Does the term "Gulag" sound familiar?

The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate in the world.

England / Wales have the highest per capita prison population in Western Europe.

I wonder why?

Tell me America, where might all this end! Turmoil for America.

If things keep going the way they are... Revolution.

More prevalent signs of our newly minted Police State, heck let's just go ahead and make the Patriot act a permanent feature. /s

poster said:

None of us have given money or weapons to any group on the State Department's foreign terrorist organisation list.

thats not what you have been subpeonad for though is it? it said.

what the government has said is an investigation into violations of the laws banning material support to foreign "terrorist organisations".

so you interpret the words material support as money or weapons. interesting that you should state money, because anything that you would have given would have cost something had you not given it right? So in an indirect way that is money. have you fed them, given them materials with which they can build bunkers, or possibly a computer they could use to hack websites.... many things can be used as a weapon you know...

anyway its just semantics. to bad you couldnt throw your good will toward a people who didnt support a government that is a terrorist organization who directly and indiscrimanently targets civilians. GOOD FOR YOU! AND GOOD LUCK IN COURT.

US Population = 308,745,538 (2010 census)

Incarcerated = 2,193,798 (approximate)

China Population = about 1.32 billion

Incarcerated = 1,548,498 (approximate)

It is pretty sad when the United states has more people locked up than big, bad, Communist China, and the population of China exceeds the US by more than a 4:1 ratio.

Pastor.Wade - you are so out of order. reported inflammatory and directly to admin. Shame on you.

@kyle

We have made our Justice system about profits now , private industries are deeply rooted and invested in keeping those numbers high and climbing, after all they do want MORE profits every year, not the same. This is just how it is, and it will only get more tough , more horrible. China has harsh laws yes, but they do not have companies and lobbyist etc, hounding them to keep the jails full. On a for profit system nothing is safe, not your life, not Justice and law and dang sure not health care lol.

I have been trying to open a few eyes about "the land of the free" too, most don't seem to like hearing it, but the truth is like that, tough to swallow.

Jo you should delete that comment IMO. It is sooooo in breach of the CoH. Truly offensive.

I second that motion.

McCarthyism 2.0...

Soph, darlin'... I think Pastor.Wade is no longer an issue... When I clicked on his user name to try to report him as a malicious user, all I got was:

Oh my. There doesn't seem to be a page here anymore.

Sorry about that!

:-)

a government that is a terrorist organization who directly and indiscrimanently targets civilians.

You must be talking about the govt of Israel which deliberately, maliciously and ruthlessly targeted civilian targets with the most modern weapons of mass destruction available during the atrocity known as Cast Lead.

As well as routinely targeting non-violent demonstrators and their children with threats, harassment, imprisonment, assault and murder.

Bigots - Nature's little argument for eugenics...

wheel,

im talking about all governments which are identified by the US government as a terrorist organization. israel is not one of them. and even if they are/were, i dont send them @!$%# either because i dont agree with the way they do things either. difference is, the US government wont subpeona you for supporting israel.

so before you knock me, why dont you look at the ENTIRE world instead of the nice little part that fits inside that head of yours. your deflection to blame israel shows you really dont know much at all.

how about looking at it like this.

if hamas and the so called palestinians give up all their weapons tomorrow, there would be peace, if israel were to give up all its weapons tomorrow, they would be attacked BY THESE PEOPLE.

catchy phrases and happy quotations dont mean squat....

if hamas and the so called palestinians give up all their weapons tomorrow, there would be peace

Bull@!$%#. There would be a slaughter, just a repeat of the atrocity of Cast Lead.

catchy phrases and happy quotations dont mean squat....

But you don't mind repeating them do you?

What are you calling education, slanted of course against Israel as if they are really abusing Palestinians. Everyone knows that Palestinian history is full of violence against Jews, not just in the Middle East, but in Europe, Asia, and South America.

No guns, or money have to change hands, the people you deal with to educate people, to spread their literature, and their gospel are Hamas terrorists, they are murderers and even if you do not directly pull the trigger, you spread their idealism that does teach this kind of hatreds and bias against Jews not just in Israel but worldwide.

You will get your day in court, even if you don't agree, in the USA you can get it out on trial. In Palestine you would not get this opportunity, if you were spreading literature about Israel and the USA and about how they are being abused, you would be put on trial and condemned, then taken out and shot. They have a law that allows them to do this.

There are two sides to every story

Not impressed, when you blow up an ice cream shop and purposely target children, you response holds no water. This is the Arab terrorist MO, murder the 'enemy', if you cannot reach them, kill their children, their elderly, women, etc. And, it has been a centuries old strategy, whether its Jews, Christians, Buddhists, etc.

I will say there are cold blooded attacks on both sides. However, for centuries Jews have been handed a raw deal, now that they are handing it back, people are crying foul.

Solutions can be worked out, some give and take is necessary, however the Palestinians have shows only take, and when they start a war and lose, lose land, lose territory, they moan and groan. Letting Palestinians have an open border has already been historically proven to be a mistake. The Egyptians have found this out, so have the Jordanians and the Lebanese. Why, with all of their hatred toward Jews should Israel leave an open border?

when you blow up an ice cream shop and purposely target children, you response holds no water.

For example when Israel deliberately targeted children, schools and police stations during Cast Lead.

I remember Rachel.

Roll on Wheel, your comments are cancelled out by the actions of those Palestinian terrorists you consider freedom fighters whom are actually child killers. Even among the Palestinians, these thugs sacrifice their own children in the name of jihad. Their blood letting knows no bounds.

Bull@!$%# curmudgeon. That is typical zionist apologist logic.

"Well....they did something bad too."

That is nonsense when children try to use it as an excuse and it's nonsense here.

As for bloodletting know no bounds, tell it to the 1400 innocents deliberately murdered by Israel during the atrocity of Cast Lead.

Their blood letting knows no bounds.

I recognize that sort of derogatory declarative. It's a blood libel.

Did we restrict that term to Jews only after Palin used it?

Taken in context I think you mean Palestinians persevere in resistance despite the great sacrifices they've had to face in being subjugated by Israel. True enough that is.
