Op-Ed: Lara’s Lies – Or How Peace Now Sees the IDF: Phyllis Chesler ****

http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1092/lara-friedman-peace-now

A fundraising brochure from Americans for Peace Now just arrived in the mail. The cover quotes Lara Friedman, their Policy and Government Relations Director. She states:

“Sometimes the Zimmermans of the world turn out to be Jewish and/or Israeli. Their actions bring shame to all of us and are a stain on our community, our religion, and the Jewish state.” Shame on you, Lara Friedman!

Friedman equates the Israel Defense Force, (the IDF), WITH a 28-year-old neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, who is neither Jewish nor Israeli, BUT who is, in fact, a multi-racial Hispanic.

American.Zimmerman is the Sanford, Florida man charged with second degree murder in the tragic shooting of 17-year-old African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin, on February 26, 2012. Zimmerman has not yet been tried or found guilty–except in the media.

Within weeks, President Obama said that “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon. I think that Trayvon’sparents are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness this deserves and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.”

The IDF, several oceans away, are hereby implicated by Friedman in the assassination of the President’s (imaginary) son.

The Libya We Fought For Or Is Libya the New Iraq? by Daniel Greenfield

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3329/libya-iraq In Benghazi, a car bomb aimed at Libyan intelligence officials shook a crowded street. It’s not the first car bomb to strike Libya after the fall of Gaddafi. Benghazi has its own insurgency and remains a flashpoint for the looming civil war that no one is talking about. Postwar Libya has not received the […]

RUTHIE BLUM; FAYYAD’S BLOOD SOAKED OVERDRAFT

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=2527 Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad is in a real pickle these days. This is not because the Democratic National Convention ended up having to overturn its initial omission of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in its platform – though that might have felt to him like the icing on his otherwise collapsing cake. Indeed, […]
