Vice President Joe Biden offered a sharp defense of President Barack Obama's friendship to Israel and leadership in preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons in remarks to a Jewish group in Atlanta today. And Biden blamed the Bush Administration for the foreign policy challenges Obama inherited — specifically the lack of international pressure on Iran. "When we took office... we were the problem," referring to the way America was viewed in the world at the time. "We were diplomatically isolated in the world, in the region, in Europe.” Shouting at times, Biden said voices in the Jewish community who say...

Iran has banned “Zionist companies” in an amendment signed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Army Radio reported on Wednesday. The blacklist is made up of supposedly “Jewish-owned” American companies like IBM, Intel and Coca-Cola. The boycott comes as a reaction to American and UN sanctions against Iran. The amendment was added to a new law passed in reaction to the Gaza flotilla incident, titled “The Palestinian Support Law,” in which Teheran seeks to support Palestinians while isolating Israel, Army Radio reported. The Iranian Foreign Ministry is responsible for making sure the boycott is carried out. Ahmadinejad also announced that he planned...

Ali-Akbar Salehi, Head of the Iranian Atomic Anergy Organization: Attacking Iran's Nuclear Facilities Will Spell the End of Israel - February 8, 2010 - 11:10 http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/2380.htm "The Zionist Enemy Will Not Dare Take This Cowardly Step; This Could Spell the End of Israel" Interviewer: "The Israelis, and sometimes the American, threaten to attack the Iranian nuclear plants. Can you tell us how these nuclear plants are protected from foreign attacks? Are they sufficiently fortified to deter such attacks?" Ali-Akbar Salehi: "Naturally, we took all necessary measures to fortify [the plants], but this does not mean that there is 100% protection....

Zionist Jews were not interlopers in Palestine. The creation of the Jewish state was not an "original sin" foisted upon the Arab world. The tragic flight of the Palestinian refugees was overwhelmingly not the fault of the Zionists. To the contrary, at every momentous junction the Zionists opted for compromise and peace, the Arabs for intransigence and belligerency. This, in summary, is how most people once understood the Arab-Israel conflict. Today, however, as Israel marks its Independence Day, an entire generation has come to maturity believing a diametrically opposite "narrative": namely, that the troubles persist because of West Bank settlements,...

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) - The Zionist Organization of America on Tuesday asked potential students and donors to the University of California, Irvine to look elsewhere after months of growing tension between Jewish and Muslim students. In a statement, the New York-based organization lambasted Chancellor Michael Drake for not condemning anti-Semitic speech on campus and enabling a years-long history of "bigotry, discrimination and the violation of civil rights" by the school's Muslim Student Union. "We're not asking the university to infringe on anyone's free speech rights, but our contention all along is that the chancellor has his own free speech rights,...

A new Zionist organization declaring support for Jewish communities in all parts of the Land of Israel and opposition to negotiations with terrorists was formally launched last week. The group, going by the name Z Street, intends to "serve as an educational force" and "a proud banner" behind which Zionists can rally, according to its founding documents. The group's founders believe the current period is a "time of great danger to the Jewish State of Israel and, increasingly, to world Jewry," warranting the establishment of a new, unabashedly Zionist advocacy group. "We need to show everyone that it isn't only...

Z Street is launched by Jerry Gordon Two stalwart bi-coastal friends of Israel, Lori Lowenthal Marcus of Philadelphia and Allyson Rowen Taylor of Los Angeles, have launched a new Zionist advocacy organization: Z STREET. Co-Chair Marcus describes the essence of the new organization, “No more appeasement, no more negotiating with terrorists, no more enabling cowards who fear offending more than they fear another Holocaust.” Operating under the aegis of Taylor’s non-profit organization “People Against Hate Speech,” Z STREET has obtained permits for a huge rally in front of the White House on October 27th - the same week that the...

(IsraelNN.com) Extremist Moslems have not dropped their allegations that Pepsi Cola is essentially the code name for a Zionist plot. MEMRI has released an English transcript of an address given by a Muslim religious leader in Egypt this past February, in which he explains that PEPSI is actually an acronym for "Pay Every Penny to Save Israel."

It seems that every day, our "friends" in the Middle East come out with another thing to blame on the Jews. First it was that the Jews own the banks, and the media. Now Iran, the country that President Obama is doing his best to "reach out to" has a new theory. Now the Jews can create disease. I never heard that before (other than the heart burn associated with Jewish cooking). According to Iranian TV the swine flu is a joint Zionist/American conspiracy. As we say in the old country, Who Knew?:

Q&A With Mark Paredes Mark Paredes. Photo by Dan KacvinskiThe Los Angeles office of the Zionist Organization of America has had a difficult search for a successful executive director. The two most recent hires lasted only a few months. Now it’s Mark Paredes’ chance to try to turn the office around. Paredes, who served as the American Jewish Congress’ director of Latino outreach until Dec. 31 and before that was press attaché for the Israeli Consulate, is not Jewish. In fact, he’s a local leader in the Mormon Church who loves Israel and wants you to, too. Jewish Journal:...

JAKARTA (AFP) — Indonesian Islamic hardliners have called for a ban on international organisations the Rotary Club and the Lions Club, saying they are part of a Zionist conspiracy, reports said Monday. The (FUU) said the clubs were "infidel" fronts for Freemasonry and the world Zionist movement and threatened Islam in the world's most populous Muslim country. "They gather funds and give them to America and the Israeli Zionists," FUU chairman Atian Ali Mohammad Da'i was quoted as saying in The Jakarta Globe daily. "We urge all Muslims to renounce membership in the Rotary Club and the Lions Club. Otherwise...

Accusing the Jewish state of "genocide," an anti-Israel Palestinian activist once commended by President Obama has predicted the end of Israel, which, he boasted, is "within reach, in our lifetimes." In a piece earlier this month titled, "Why Israel won't survive," Ali Abunimah, co-founder of Electronic Intifada, a pro-Palestinian online publication, accused Israel of war crimes and gloated, "Now, the other pillar of Israeli power – Western support and complicity – is starting to crack. We must do all we can to push it over." "It is Israel as a Zionist state, not Palestine or the Palestinian people, that cannot...

Earlier this week, I was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Dan Kliman, 38, who was a founding member of San Francisco Voice for Israel (SFV4I). I knew Dan from my days as a Bay Area pro-America, pro-Israel grassroots activist, which included a year-long stint with SFV4I. Alongside Dan, other SFV4I members, and members of Protest Warrior, I counter-protested the local Israel-haters on many an occasion and it became an integral part of my political education. (Read some of my after-reports here, here, and here). Dan was dedicated, passionate, and very in-your-face, both as an outspoken Zionist...

Below is a letter from the writer, Naomi Ragen, which nails the issues we face on Nov 4th. While the economic issues take center stage, the problem of Islamic theology which causes terror will be much more of an issue over the next four years than the economy. If we as a nation believe in freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we must elect leaders who stand for those values. If we elect Obama, our freedoms and way of life will be destroyed, if not forever, then at least for some considerable time to come. Germany elected Hitler and...

Jesse Jackson may have wanted to remove a part of Obama’s anatomy recently when he chided African American fathers to be more responsible. And even before that he accused Obama of “acting like he’s white”, but he’s still on the kool-aid train as far as his support for The One. He apologized for his off the cuff remark and restated his unwavering support of Barack. And the Obama team, including Jackson’s son, Jesse Jackson Jr. (co-chair of his presidential campaign), accepted their friend’s apology An Obama campaign spokesman, Bill Burton, said that the senator from Illinois “of course accepts Rev....

Iranian media reported on Wednesday that 40 Iranian lawmakers had put their names to a petition demanding that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad be "disciplined" after his vice president, Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei, described Iran earlier this summer as "a friend of the Israeli people."

As a self-described “Zionist,” US Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden on Wednesday reacted harshly to speculation that his pro-Israel record may not be as strong as he professes. Biden is fond of pointing out how in a previous interview with a Jewish television channel he stated that, despite not being Jewish, he was a “Zionist.”

Riyadh, 25 July (AKI) - A Saudi football star playing for a Swiss team has refused to play against an Israeli team for apparent political and religious reasons. Hussein Abdulghani, who plays for Swiss premier league club Neuchatel Xamax, said he would not play a game against a 'Zionist team', reported Arabic language newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi on Friday. Neuchatel Xamax is reportedly planning a game with an as yet unnamed Israeli team. Team officials are said to have accepted his decision not to play in the future match against the Israeli team. Abdulghani, 31, has represented Saudi Arabia in three...

Obama campaign sanctioned blog entry that compares the "all-powerful Jewish lobby" to Hitler and Mussolini It is now a matter of proven record [http://husaria.wordpress.com/2008/06/29/obama-campaign-sanctioned-anti-semitic-and-other-hate-speech/] that the Obama campaign exercises editorial control over my.barackobama.com, and is therefore responsible for its content. The Obama campaign sanctioned (tolerated) the following material at my.barackobama.com until an uproar on external blogs like this one compelled its deletion. Tony Wicher’s “My Favorite Antisemite” at the Official Website of Barack Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign attacks the “Zionist Thought Police” and then quotes Desmond Tutu, who suggests that the “powerful Jewish Lobby” will fall like Hitler, Mussolini, Idi...
