POPSWhy Bomb Gaza? Is it alll or mostly politics? How jaded or cynical are you when it comes to politics or how far do you believe politicians on both sides will go to be sure they stay in control of their electorates? Try a cease fire now so fewer people die and use other means to get votes!

POPS. . . Ghaza . . . Again. . Congratulations Livni, you might just beat Netanyahu for the big seat. All the while the Fatah supporters are crying, see what Hamas has done to Ghaza, as if they themselves did not partake in this dance with Israel a million times before. And it is a dance, well-rehearsed and well-executed, and performed so many times before that those of us paying attention could tell what will happen next to a tee. The reprisals, the statements from whomever condemning whatever and standing in solidarity with what side of this conflict and their god given right to protect themselves/resist the aggression/yadayadayada, the eventual kidnapping, the eventual cease fire, the eventual negotiations, the funerals on each side of their own fallen heroes and innocent victims, and naturally, the reprisal for that again. Come on people, we have 24 hour news channels now, what would we fill them with without some good old Israeli Palestinian conflict?

POPSPowell Stands Against Smears Colin Powell, though, might be more on point with his observation than he knew. One of things you quickly learn when you're sent to Iraq or Afghanistan is that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in those nations are peace loving people, who just want to be able to raise their families in a decent environment. Essentially, their overall hopes and dreams are not much different than ours. Most of them actually have fond views of America and the west, and are constantly curious about American culture. To the extent there are any anti-American sentiments in Iraq, it's that Iraqis want this war to end, and want to get back to a stable life. But, it's not right to say that most Muslims are "anti-America.

POPSNYPD audio clip: 9/11 "remote control plane", Truck with Airplane Mural Detained This NYPD scanner audio from 9/11 reports a remarkable incident that news has never covered, that they stopped a truck that day that had a mural of a plane diving into New York City , as well as "remote controlled plane" clearly mentioned in the audio. (See audio clip link at bottom above). Also detained earlier were the "dancing Israeli" art students who were high-fiving each other during the tragedy, even later admitted their Mossad connections and that they were sent to "record the incident" (i.e. foreknowledge). Even Democracy Now here discussed that documented incident. The full article, and the source it links to is worth consideration. The source linked also looks in depth into the transcript of this scanner, and whether the audio is authentic, etc. 911 was good for Israel --former PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Likud Party, friend of Larry Silverstein (WTC lease-h

POPSNetanyahu Rushes for Power in Israel, Before Bush's Term is Up "Hurry the elections", i.e. he wants into power NOW. The Likud Party is linked directly to the neoconservatives in America. Netanyahu (who is close friends with Larry Silverstein, the WTC leaseholder) wants power before the change of President in the U.S. in order to start war with Iran, to continue the neocon agenda beyond the Bush administration's term. MARK THIS: If he wins, they will attack Iran immediately, and he is pushing hard to get in before Jan. '09, to control US war policy. Pat Buchanan documented the link earlier: In 1996, neoconservatives currently serving in the Bush administration wrote a policy paper for Israeli right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu . In the policy paper Douglas Feith (currently Undersecretary of Defense), David Wurmser (VP Cheney’s staff) and Richard Perle (Defense Review Board) called for "removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq

POPSNetanyahu "9/11 Benefited Israel". Follow the Money Former PM of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu claims 9/11 has been beneficial for Israel. This adds to the conspiracy theory as to Israel's involvement in that awful event. Is 9/11 just USS Liberty on a larger scale. After al, Israel has not looked back since attempting to blast USS Liberty out of the water intending the US to attack Egypt then. Now is has been Afghanistan and Iraq with Iran lined up as the next Zionist target. Follow the money. Naomi Klein's article indicates clearly that the main beneficiary of 9/11 after the US 'contractor' firm has been Israel. Apartheid security is now synonymous with Israel. Fences, drones, torture and interrogation technology, and on and on are all Israeli earners. Having UK police fire 7 rounds into a Brazilian's head is all due to Israeli training. Death is their trade. They've had the practice and it's paying off big.

POPSLikudnik Netanyahu (Israel) Calls 9/11 Good for Israel. Yes we know, the neoconservatives agree, which is why a UN representative is now saying the neocons (Israeli firsters) should be investigated about 9/11 (see previous Clipmark). Meanwhile, same article quotes Ahmadinejad of Iran calling 9/11 "suspicious" and convenient for a pretext for war: "Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names," Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom. "Under this pretext, they attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then, a million people have been killed only in Iraq." Of course then Netanyahu calls him Hitler. You are familiar with the propaganda by now. Netanyahu also made this statement immediately after 9/11 as well.

POPS9/11: UN Official Calls for Study of Neocons Role This is a major story breaking. The New York Sun is interestingly giving air to it, but you can be sure the propagandists will jump on this to try to discredit the UN official immediately. What is interesting is that he is an Israeli policy watcher from Princeton University and here he is saying there is significant and due cause for "suspicion" in looking at the neoconservatives' role in 9/11, which many claim was a "false flag" attack to blame Arabs and trigger the neocon agenda outlined by the Project for New American Century and their blueprint for a "new middle east" via wars for "regime change". Most of the neoconservatives are pro-Zionist Jews with close alliances to the Israeli radical Likudnik party, with Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, Larry Silverstein, lease-holder of the WTC complex (who purchased the lease only months prior to 9/11) is close personal friends with Netanyahu.

POPSDefending Israel to the 'End Times' Rosenberg appears to believe that if a peace deal is concluded, it will not contradict Biblical prophesy: "While . . . Matthew 24 and Luke 21 indicate that there will be wars, rumors of wars and revolutions in the Middle East in the last days, Ezekiel 38 also indicates that for a season at least the Jews will be living 'securely' in the land prior to the apocalyptic War of Gog & Magog (the Russian-Iranian alliance to destroy Israel)." Netanyahu said that 'In a war of attrition the enemy strikes and you react, the enemy strikes harder and you retaliate harder. This gradual increase in violence is the antithesis of deterrence. . . . Deterrence always means using disproportionate force. We need to move from a concept of attrition to one of tough deterrence that will eventually lead to the removal of the Hamas regime, because as long as it exists it will continue arming itself and continue its attacks.'

POPS9/11: Laser guide lights on South Tower before strike; remote control evidence
Laser spotting on South Tower of WTC before impact of 2nd plane. Lasers of course are used in military technology to fly missiles into targets by remote control. Also, video shows several shots of mystery white plane (no markings) and rare footage of Shanksville with empty hole, no wreckage. "The process of transformation (PAX AMERICANA war for "new middle east") might be a long one, absent some catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor". --Project for a New American Century neoconservative think tank; paper Rebuliding America's Defenses, composed Sept. 2000, one year prior to 9/11. Members included Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Paul Wolfowitz, Rabbi Dov Zakheim, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, etc. The neoconservatives have close ties with Israel and especially Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likudnik (terrorist) party. Larry Silverstein, owner of WTC, is close friends with Netanyahu. Senator Richard Hollings also stated Iraq war was "for Israel...and everyone knows

POPSIsrael's NAZI Kingmaker: Russian, Israeli, French, Canadian, Angolan.
He travels on an Angolan diplomatic passport to avoid arrest. His Jerusalem soccer team has a notoriously racist, anti-Arab fan base. Chant of "Death to Arabs" are regular. He has said, "Any politician that I will support will be the prime minister." Yet a Knesset committee has openly took issue with his actions during the war, accusing him of acting entirely for political reasons. To his supporters, he is simply the natural result of an Israeli establishment that is so wrapped up in corruption and cronyism that it is unable to care for its citizens. One important opponent said, "There is a sense among some people," he said, "that democracy just didn't work for us, and we should be like the rest of the Middle East -- that we tried democracy and failed. He's an oligarch. Don't forget that a lot of his supporters are Russians. They're not familiar with democracy." Handling of Moscow News is widely viewed as hostile to free speech and raised questions about his ties to Russia.

POPSNetanyahu: Israel's arch-hawk aiming for comeback Israel needs someone who will look out for the interests of it's people and not roll over every time someone criticizes them. They have been to the peace table so many times, offered everything but Jerusalem and national suicide, kicked their own citizens out of their homes and given the land back to the Palestinians, BUT it's never enough. They are completely surrounded by Jew-haters committed to their annihilation so hunker down and defend.

POPS1997 Assassination attempt I trust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was watching his back so he didn't get one in the back from the master assassins like another Israeli Prime Minister. Will DeadManWalking Olmert have to be carried out in a box? Or maybe he can become a StepAside PM like the current sexually active President! FlipFlop has a whole different meaning in Israel.

POPSIsraeli 'Shin Bet involved in 1976 hijacking' The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) may have been involved in the hijack of an Air France plane in 1976 by Palestinian terrorists, according to newly declassified British government documents released Friday. Some 100 passengers were held by hijackers at Entebbe airport in Uganda during an eight-day ordeal that concluded when General Staff Reconnaissance Unit (Sayeret Matkal) troops stormed the building where captives were held. Twenty-four people died in the shoot-out, including three hostages, 20 Ugandans and the commander of the rescue team, Yoni Netanyahu. The hijackers, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the German Baader-Meinhof gang, demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners. But according to the newly released documents, the Shin Bet, and the PFLP are alleged to have teamed up in an "unholy alliance" in an attempt to change foreign policy in the Middle East. The allegation appeared in a document written by official DH Colvin at t
