2002 Salon report: For almost 2 years, 100s of Israelis falsely claiming to be art students haunted federal offices – in particular, the DEA. No one knows why – and no one seems to want to find out. Fox News’ broadcast a 4-part report on it, then removed all traces of the broadcast from its channel…
A detailed report on how Israel advocates have worked to oppose a distinguished nominee from becoming Ambassador to Brazil because of comments she had made over two decades ago about the Israel lobby…
The Institute for Curriculum Services claims to advocate for accuracy in K-12 instruction on Jewish history – but backed by the Israel lobby it whitewashes the history of indigenous Palestinians and Israeli theft of their land, and even attempts to delete the word “Palestine” from textbooks. ICS boasts that it has ‘improved public education’ in all 50 states and impacted 11 million students across the country.

Dozens of Israeli settlers swooped down in an act of violence on a Palestinian family tending its olive grove – throwing stones and beating them. Three Palestinians were wounded; the eldest remains hospitalized. When the family filed a complaint, they were interrogated for allegedly throwing rocks.
The Associated Press shows yet again its affinity for whitewashing Israel’s crimes: this time, downplaying the death of a toddler at the whims of Israel’s harsh permit system.

Jesse Jackson, while she represented the Dem nominee, Dukakis… The Dukakis campaign did not want the “P-word” in the platform or even have the matter discussed in a public forum…. In the late 1980s, ‘for the first time’, Albright noticed that her State Department ‘peace team’ was almost all Jewish…
Jewish & Israel studies at colleges around the US owe almost the totality of their existence to Jewish donors, who then use ‘soft power’ to shape pro-Israel programs. Now they’re starting to use ‘hard power’ – Recently, after a donor who gave $5 million to endow an Israel chair at the University of Washington complained about the chair’s criticism of Israel, UW stripped the professor of her chair and the money is being transferred to an Israel advocacy organization…
The new bill just signed into law slips through billions more US tax dollars to Israel, but the media doesn’t tell Americans about the funding: $5 billion goes directly to Israel, & another $3 billion+ goes to projects because they benefit Israel, which works out to at least $22 million/day of Americans’ tax money expended for a small, rich foreign country that regularly brutalizes an entire population and causes damage to the US…
