Is Israel going fascist?-1/3

Israeli Professor Neve Gordon and Palestinian Lawmaker Mustafa Barghouti on the Israeli Elections

With 99 percent of the votes counted Wednesday morning in the Israeli election, Tzipi Livnis centrist Kadima Party was in first place with twenty-eight seats, while Benjamin Netanyahus right-wing Likud Party was a close second with twenty-seven seats. They are both claiming victory but would need coalition partners to gather the sixty-one seats needed to form a government in the 120-seat Knesset. For analysis of the election results, we are joined by two guests. Dr. Mustafa Barghouti is an independent Palestinian lawmaker and democracy activist. He joins us from Washington, D.C. And on the line from Beersheba, Israel is Neve Gordon, a professor of politics and government at Ben-Gurion University and the author of Israels Occupation. [includes rush transcript]

Every crime committed by Ariel Sharon & Israel has been supported and paid for by the USA! And when the UN Security Council convenes to condemn Israel's genocide & crimes against humanity, the USA steps in to veto!

Maybe most Americans dont know this, but every Muslim in the world has it engraved in their heart as the most grotesque injustice & unfairness & unbalanced policy anywhere in the world: This unending & bottomless support the American government gives to Israel!

They've been fascist for awhile now. Recent events just seem to confirm the truth.
