US Campaign presents petition to U.S. Ambassador Rice

SIGN NOW: http://endtheoccupation.org/unvote

This footage of Ambassador Susan Rice's February 11, 2011, visit to the World Affairs Council of Oregon, in Portland, highlights the clash between a U.S. administration that is out of touch with the dire monstrosity of continued Israeli settlements -- and a growing movement to petition the State Dept. to let the UN Security Council do its job, reaffirming the illegality of those settlements and the urgency of curtailing their increasing menace to the same human rights and equality that the U.S. purports to champion. Peter Miller, a Steering Committee member of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, hands the Ambassador a petition signed by 7,600 people demanding that the Obama Administration vote yes on a pending UN Security Council resolution meant to condemn continued Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Oregonians' appeals to the Ambassador are met with stubborn adherence to the Administration's familiar line that "the Security Council is not the right venue in which to make such determinations."

This is Campaign making allegations that have already been debunked as a lie!

2 years after Cast Lead professional Israel bashers promulgate lies -"more than 1400 Palestinian civilians killed by IDF"- A lie debunked yet still used by this fruadulent campaign!

"Hamas admitted last week that between 600 and 700 of its militants were killed during Operation Cast Lead – a figure consistent with that reported by the Israel Defense Forces

[USCampaign]

@menodimi1 you are wrong. We do not cite 1400 civilian casualties. We always use the statistics published by B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights, whose research put the number of killed civilian noncombatants at 758, including 344 children under age 18. B'Tselem has some of the most highly regarded accurate statistics of all organizations publishing such data.

If the picture wasn't intentionally blurred, you could probably see the strings moving her arms and mouth. Here is a spokesperson for the superior US lobby. In summary she says "we will continue to irrationally support Israel with UN vetoes and $3.075B / year because we're afraid of what AIPAC would do otherwise."

Of course the UN is the most practical & unbiased forum to solve a n ongoing 44-year conflict. Why must it be negotiated between the bully & the victim?

@pazstein As I wrote in the subtitle, the blurring was UNintentional. But I still like your comment.

What US interest is served by supporting an apartheid regime in Israel?

[DutchsMaria]

The fact is...Israel cannot afford peace! Why? Because if it makes peace with Israel it cannot expand into the Internationally recognized Palestinian Territories. With its immigration law ' The Right of Return' the State of Israel is caught between a rock and a hard place. It NEEDS to prevent peace and point fingers in order to justify their illigal expansions and human rights violations.

In the past few weeks we have seen genuine massacres and gruesome brutality. Thousands have now been murdered by Arab governments. In Libya, mourners attending the funerals of people shot dead in the streets were themselves targeted by snipers - where are the massive street protests in Europe’s large cities? Where are the calls to boycott countries? Where are the labour unions demanding action? Where are the student groups using words like “apartheid” and “Nazi”? NO JEWS NO PROTESTS!

JENIN USED BY THE BDS TO DELIGITIMIZE ISRAEL BY USING LIES: THE SAME LIES USED DURING CAST LEAD WHICH CLAIMED "OVER 1400 PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS! A LIE DEBUNKED BY HAMAS!

The usual hysterical demonstrations took place, where Muslim radicals and leftist activists took to the streets in Europe and North America, and liberal media expressed incredulity at the sadism of Israeli soldiers. Then the detailed reports appeared, revealing most of the figures were untrue and no massacre occurred.

[menodimi1]

Jenin was used by the BDS to demonize Israel- A lie!

Within hours of the battle, Jenin was described as a massacre, and newspapers, television shows, human-rights groups were condemning Israel as having committed a war crime.

The BBC claimed almost 200 Palestinians had died and the Palestinians themselves assured the world the number was many times that estimate- audiences were told 500 unarmed Palestinians were dead.

The truth : 52 Palestinian combatants and 23 Israeli soldiers!

Flash news bulletin- BDS WATCH will be launched world wide! Exposing the lies promulgated by the BDS- Every allegation- every myth- every lie - will be debunked by BDS Watch! An organization dedicated to policing the lies and myth promulgated by the BDS!

In the tradition of Hillel Neurer 's UN watch that has exposed the corruption of the United Nations! The same UN that made Libya - Cuba- Iran head of Durbans Human Rights Conference in the name of Israel bashing!

[menodimi1]

In 2002, the Israeli army entered Jenin in the West Bank as part of their reaction to the second Intifada-Within hours of the battle, Jenin was described as a massacre, and newspapers, television shows, human-rights groups and even governments were condemning Israel as having committed a war crime- ANOTHER OUTRIGHT LIE DEBUNKED- .52 Palestinians were killed, almost all of them members of the military. Twenty-three Israeli soldiers were also killed!

BDS WATCH! SOON TO COME TO YOU TUBE!

[menodimi1]

The US CAMPAIGN are bigots, blind, - you have formed a coalition  with, and support the barbarous and the bullies! The BDS supported Iran- Libya and Cuba who were at the head of Durbans Human rights commission- an excuse for Israel bashing- Imagine 9 terrorists were kiled by the IDF in self defence- Yet in one week in 2010 over 13 Palestinian girls were killed in honor killings in Gaza-! yawnn Rachel WHO? Know them and expose them, before it’s too late.” — Michael Coren

Imagine that- Irish "Israeli bashers "" are obviously obsessed with Israel- yet they are silent to the "APARTHEID PEACE WALL IN NORTHERN IRELAND- Of course no professional Israel bashers gives a damn about the fact that the wall SAVES LIVES! In 6 weeks Arabs have murdered well over 2000 protestors in Egypt- Tunisia - Libya etc -The hypocrosy that Israel bashers supported Gaddafi when he was head of the DURBAN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION- AND GADDAFI IS SLAUGHTERING HIS OWN PEOPLE! SICK!

[menodimi1]

Northern Irelands "Peace Wall are over three miles (5 km) made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet (7.6 m) high are manned bypolice) that allow passage during daylight but are closed at night. first built in 1969, following the outbreak of the 1969 Northern Ireland riots and built as temporary but due to their effective nature they have become permanent, wider and longerthey have multiplied over the years, from 18 to 40 stretch over 13 miles (21 km).

[menodimi1]

The hypocrosy of Israel bashers - they ignore fact inorder to make a case against the Jew in the tradition of Blood libels! ISRAEL'S SEPARATION FENCE- ( 97% FENCE- 3% WALL) - is referred to as a WALL- a lie! Yet many of the Israel bashers come from Northern Ireland- How sick- Israels "FENCE" is modeled on Northern Irelands PEACE WALL- erected in 1969 - AND IS 100% WALL- and has grown in size since 1969 - 2011. The "PEACE WALL separates Catholics from Prostestants for obvious reasons- IRA!
