Click for Source Article in NYT

Senator AIPAC Menendez (D-NJ) = DOJ filing corruption charges after 2 year investigation of gifts and lavish vacations in exchange for political favors to Salomon Melgen – RICH DOCTOR

Menendez = 61 year old son of Cuban immigrants = Aggressively raising money for a legal-defense fund for more than a year.

Menendez = Spent holidays with at Dr. Melgen’s home in the Dominican Republic, a gated oceanfront resort where the neighbors included Oscar de la Renta.

Menendez = Melgen delivered $100s of thousands to benefit Mr. Menendez + 2 round-trip flights aboard Dr. Melgen’s private jet for personal vacations in the Dominican Republic in 2010, but failed to report them as gifts or to reimburse Melgen at the time, as required under Senate disclosure rules. Once caught he paid Melgan $58,000.

Menendez = Court papers show he improperly tried to persuade the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services officials in recent years to change reimbursement policies in a way that would make $MILLIONS for Dr. Melgen.

Menendez = Lawyers have also told prosecutors that the discussions with Medicare officials were part of the normal lawmaking process and were shielded from prosecution under the Constitution.

Melgen = NO RESPONSE by his lawyer and spokesman.

Menendez = Entered politics as a reformer and SOLD OUT TO AIPAC-NJ MACHINE

Menendez = One of least wealthy members of USA Senate

Menendez = Republicans called for his immediate resignation.

Menendez = Relationship with Melgen and whether he had traded gifts for favors from the senator. January 2013, federal agents raided Dr. Melgen’s offices in South Florida who was in the midst of a billing dispute with the government over his reimbursement for Lucentis, a costly medication used to treat macular degeneration = That is when Menendez contacted the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Menendez = Was involved in a deal with Melgen to sell port-screening equipment to the government of the Dominican Republic + Menendez + Senator Harry Reid advocated for Melgen in meetings with Kathleen E. Sebelius, then the secretary of health and human services.

Menendez = Claims Melgen is his buddy and friend = Echoed that assertion in his brief appearance before reporters. = May be his only defense. = “As to Dr. Melgen, everyone knows he and his family, and me and my family, have been real friends for more than two decades.”

Menendez = One other defense is a legal argument that a senator’s activities are shielded from prosecution under the Constitution’s speech-or-debate privilege, which prohibits federal agents from using their law enforcement powers to interfere with lawmaking. DOJ battles over how broadly that protection applies.

Menendez = Frequent critic of the Obama administration on Cuba and Iran.

Where are those weapons of Mass Destreuction.” JOKING ABOUT 5,000 SOLDIERS LOST + $6 TRILLION WAR.

NETANYAHU = LIES ABOUT IRAN’S WMDs TODAY AND HIS INTELLIGENCE (MOSSAD) TELLS HIM HE IS A LIAR.

NETANAYHU = What do you call an American politician who substantially criticizes Israel? Ready for retirement.

FACT: Members of Congress criticized Netanyahu after the speech more strongly than an Israeli leader has probably been criticized in generations.

WHAT CRITICISM OF ISRAEL DID CONGRESS LEAVE OUT?

AIPAC = STUNNING SUCCESS = FORCE OTHERS TO LIE FOR ISRAEL + DO WHATEVER ISARAEL DEMANDS = $300+ MILLION MORE MILITARY AID OUT OF MIDDLE CLASS POCKETS.

NETANYAHU = Dershowitz Memoir SAYS AIPAC = “is perhaps the most effective lobbying and fundraising effort in the history of democracy.” = ANTI-AMERICAN + ANTI-DEMOCRACY

AIPAC = MAKES speaking out against Israel MASS WAR CRIMES AND MASS MURDERS = Political Suicide

AIPAC = Increasingly PUSHES America into FAKED $TRILLION WARS = MASS MURDERS OF CIVILIANS THAT CREATE MORE ENEMIES FOR AMERICANS

2003 Pew Poll found 47% of Israelis believe U.S. foreign policy favors Israel too much.

ISRAEL = ANTI-AMERICAN = NOT LOYAL TO AMERICA = GAO says Israeli espionage against the U.S. is worse than that of any other ally = ROBBED NUKE SECRETS + Steals economic secrets to BEAT USA COMPANIES

ISRAEL = Espionage at highest GOV levels = Paul Wolfowitz + Douglas Feith = They both were FOUND to be passing state secrets to Israel = Iraq War NEOCONS = ANTI-AMERICAN EVIL = Unwavering support to Israel = AIPAC

ISRAEL = American military analyst, Pollard, was caught giving large quantities of highly classified information to Israel between 1981 and 1985 = NETANYAHU WAS INVOLVED = DIRECTLY implicated HOLLYWOOD ISRAELIS

ISRAEL = IN UK = LOSING EVERY DEBATE USING SAME OLD PROPAGANDA + LIES + OFFENSIVE SMEARS

ISRAEL = IN UK = LOSING EVERY DEBATE USING SAME OLD PROPAGANDA + LIES + OFFENSIVE SMEARS

“Israel is losing the debate – in more ways than one” by Ben White MARCH 6, 2015 on MiddleEastMonitor

Click for Source Article on MiddleEastMonitor

Debate at Cambridge Union = ‘This House Believes Israel is a Rogue State.’ = ISRAELI POLICIES

DAVIS LEWIN = SCREAMER

DAVIS LEWIN = SCREAMING INSULTS

 

Extraordinary contribution from Davis Lewin = 10 minutes of screaming, finger-jabbing, and insults directed at both speakers and Union members = Combination of Twitter troll and YouTube commenter.

Speakers = Ghada Karmi + Norman Finkelstein for the proposition

BEN WHITE Opposed = BIG Takeaway from Debate = Sheer weakness of Israeli Opposition’s arguments = SAME OLD pro-Israel propaganda that simply no longer works.

Motion was carried by 51% to 19% = A 7% swing from the pre-debate vote.

At End of Debate = Cries of ‘Free, Free Palestine’ rang out.

BEN WHITE = Opening speech = Israel is NOT ‘perfect’ and makes ‘mistakes’, but Real issue is whether Israel violates international law and human rights, and whether it does so systematically.

BEN WHITE = Debate was not about Iran + Syria + Hamas + ISIS + North Korea + Russia.

BEN WHITE = The question was plain – is Israel a rogue state?

Next speech Vivian Wineman, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, opened up for the opposition = ‘Israel is not perfect’ = Israel’s apologists predictable talking point.

Wineman like two other opposition speakers = Indulged in familiar tactic of citing abuses by Israel’s enemies + Regurgitation of tired talking points on Israeli’s morality and so forth.

Next speakers were Hannah Weisfeld, head of liberal Zionist advocacy group Yachad, and Davis Lewin, deputy director of the Henry Jackson Society.

Weisfeld’s stated she had no intention of defending the occupation or settlements. She attempted to demonstrate that Israel could not be a rogue state because it has parliamentary democracy, an independent judiciary, a free press, and that critics of the government are not arrested + She claimed her ability to visit Israel freely as a critic of the occupation (opposite her was a speaker excluded from her homeland because she is Palestinian). BUT even FINKELSTEIN WAS ARRESTED AND CAN NEVER RETURN + THOUSANDS of PALESTINIANS ARE IN PRISON + Democracy does NOT apply to millions of Palestinians living for half a century under a military regime.

Wineman + Weisfeld + Lewin = Variety of Israeli propaganda strategies = Historical fantasies + Faux-liberal concern + Offensive smears.

RESULT = University of Cambridge students voted with their feet, and found Israel to be a rogue state by an overwhelming majority.

FACTORS = Ethnic cleansing + Colinization + War crimes = Disregard for and defiance of a global international law and treaties = Attitude from Zionist founders of Israel through to its politicians and leaders of today.

1955 Israel’s first prime minister Ben-Gurion stated that: “Our future does not depend on what the nations [the international community] say, but what the Jews do.”

2007 Tzipi Livni – former minister and so-called ‘moderate’ – revealed: “I am a lawyer…But I am against law – international law in particular. Law in general.”

FACT: Israel commits grave, systematic violations of international law; expands beyond its borders; and seriously abuses the human rights of Palestinians terrorized by settlers acting with impunity. The evidence is irrefutable – and the theatrics of apartheid apologists can no longer hide it.
