POPSObama Approves Giving at Least $30 Billion more to Israel The budget also pledges $500 million in American aid to the Fatah Party’s Palestinian Authority. This aid is contingent on certain requirements, including that the group recognize Israel. This funding is distinct from any funding the CIA may give the Palestinian Authority’s security forces, which would be secret. So the money goes from the taxpayer, to Israel and then back into the pockets of the US military industrial complex. What a sweet set up, eh? *Capitalism* at it's finest. They must be laughing all the way to the bank. *LOL* $30 Billion. Cough up, bend over and smile, USA. .:)

POPS"THE CRASHERS" Tareq & Michaele Salahi in 2005...................WHAT A SCAM to throw the Secret Service UNDER THE BUS!!!! and Barry O knows them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tareq and Michaele Salahi snapped the pic above with Obama at a “Rock The Vote” event on 09 June 2005 (btw also attended by John McCain … whom the Salahi’s also took a pic with).. McCain won an award for his work on campaign finance reform”. “Just call me Funk Master McCain”, he told the audience of 1000 in accepting his award. Obama won an award for “forming a multiracial coalition in winning his seat”. Cute. Michaele Salahi is getting quite a ribbing in the Press for lying about being a Redskins cheerleader, but Tareq is the much more interesting of the two to me. He has direct ties to Palestinian terrorists.

POPSHamas is once again very clear - it wants to destroy Israel.... It's a genocidal organization... In a long, defiant speech on Monday afternoon, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that gaining control of the Gaza Strip was "just a step toward liberating all of Palestine." "This movement liberated the Gaza Strip with the help of the militant factions," said Haniyeh, referring to terrorist groups operating under the umbrella of Palestinian resistance. "Brothers and sisters, we will not be satisfied with Gaza," he declared. "Hamas looks toward the whole of Palestine."

POPSBritish Court Issued Gaza Arrest Warrant for Former Israeli Minister Tzipi Livni It is the second time in less than three months that lawyers have gone to Westminster magistrates court asking for a warrant for the arrest of an Israeli politician. In September, the court was asked to issue one for the arrest of Ehud Barak, Israel's defence minster, under the 1988 Criminal Justice Act, which gives courts in England and Wales universal jurisdiction in war crimes cases. According to Israeli sources, ministers who wish to visit the UK in a personal capacity have begun asking the Israeli embassy in London to arrange meetings with British officials. These, offer legal protection against arrest, and can be attended if the officials do face any threat of arrest. Livni, crucially, cannot enjoy any such immunity as she is an ex-minister. Ehud Olmert, the former prime minister, is in the same position.

POPSHolocaust Survivor Talks About Obama's Peace Prize Around the globe, solidarity actions are already being planned for the week of December 27th--find one near you and join in the action! You can also make a peace prayer flag. Send them to us and we will carry them on the march. The peace prayer flags are an easy and powerful way to make sure your voice is present at this historic event. Peace is not just making nice speeches, as President Obama did in Cairo when he told the Arab world that "we understand that the situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable" and that America would not turn its back on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for justice and dignity. That is why I am asking you to help us "walk the talk" by supporting the Gaza Freedom March. With love for all humanity, Hedy Epstein and the CODEPINK team. Endorse the Gaza Freedom March!

POPSThe Great Wall of Israel Ever heard of it? Neither have I. Makes for interesting, if depressing reading. Probably makes the anti-immigrationists jealous in this country, though. What a waste!

POPSWhat is White House Covering Up in “GateCrashers” Scandal? - 
"While their current whereabouts are not confirmed, what is known about the Salahis is that their past includes a bankrupt winery; a long string of civil suits, some of which involve Loudoun businesses; cars and at least one boat repossessed; a residence in foreclosure; and his elderly parents evicted from their home." In addition, according to the article, Charles Muldoon says he was asked by Tareq Salahi to help him organize the inaugural America's Cup polo match help raise money for lymphoma cancer research through Journey for the Cure, Salahi's "personal charity." The Foreign Connection But other than Joseph Farah's work at WorldNetDaily, (http://bit.ly/8hMmnq) there has been virtually no attention paid to Tareq Salahi's links to Rashid Khalidi. According to the Internet publication, "Tareq Salahi served on the board of the American Task Force for Palestine, where Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi served as vice president...

POPSEU Foreign Ministers Likely to Call for Division of Jerusalem The draft refers directly to the situation in East Jerusalem, calling on "all parties to refrain from provocative actions" and stating the EU Council "has never recognized the annexation of East Jerusalem. If there is to be a genuine peace, a way must be found to resolve the status of Jerusalem as capital of two states. The Council calls for the reopening of Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem in accordance with the road map. It also calls on the Israeli government to cease all discriminatory treatment of Palestinians in East Jerusalem." On the issue of borders, the document states that the EU will not accept any changes made by Israel to the 1967 borders unless they have PA approval. The EU, it says, welcomes PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's proposal of a unilateral declaration of statehood and would "be able, at the appropriate time, to recognize a Palestinian state."

POPSThe Arabs Have Stopped Applauding Obama "American arms had won a decent outcome in Iraq, but Mr. Obama would not claim it—it was his predecessor's war. Vigilance had kept the American homeland safe from terrorist attacks for seven long years under his predecessors, but he could never grant Bush policies the honor and credit they deserved. He had declared Afghanistan a war of necessity, but he seems to have his eye on the road out even as he is set to announce a troop increase in an address to be delivered tomorrow."

POPSIllegal Israeli Settlers Terrorize Schoolkids
We all know "it ain't right", including those who commit these actions along with the ones who turn a blind eye to it. More from the article below: "The family was warned by two members of the CPT that a group of settlers had been spotted on the ridge above... would be safer for them to take the longest route home to avoid a confrontation. "We decided to accompany the family in case there was any trouble. Despite taking the longer route a group of five settler men rushed towards us from the valley above and attacked the father who had a toddler in his arms," American CPT member Sarah MacDonald told IPS. MacDonald and another CPT member were videotaping events in case they needed to go to the police. "I decided to try and engage the settlers to try and protect the family," Ciaghi told IPS. Ciaghi was thrown to the ground and repeatedly kicked in the ribs and back as the men stole both video cameras from the women. "Because the settlers focused their attention on us the Palestinia

POPSSaudi Columnist: Obama Will Be President of the 'United Collapse of America' Well...there ya' go. While I would not agree that Abbas is an ally of the US I can understand why he would consider his efforts for the Palestinian cause null & void. FTA: "Its political collapse in its war on terror, together with its economic collapse, have made the entire world sink into a political and economic quagmire." There. That's how the rest of the world perceives us and perception is reality. Hello!? Can we 'change' this and is there any 'hope'? This Administration has brought about our complete collapse in a matter of months!!! Those who deny it are willfully blind or partners.
