Students erect Israeli wall on US campus
Ma’an/Agencies – 10/04/2010
Bethlehem – For eight hours on Thursday, students at Princeton University in the US were greeted by a 16-foot wall, made of wood and Styrofoam, representing Israel’s separation wall, local media reported.
The Daily Princetonian, a college newspaper, reported Friday that the display was a protest by the Princeton Committee on Palestine and Amnesty International against the wall, which weaves in and out of the occupied West Bank.
PCP and AI members spent months planning, building, and painting the wall, which was marked with the words “peace not apartheid.”
PCP president Yoel Bitran told the publication that the group wanted to “give Princeton students the opportunity to imagine what it would be like to grow up or go to school in a place surrounded by a prison of concrete and metal.”
He said that while “most students understand that Israel’s policies in the occupied territories are fundamentally wrong,” the group aims to “help people understand the suffering of Palestinians and realize the urgency of doing something about it.”
“We hope to let people know that there is a strong and growing movement for Palestinian rights at Princeton … and that being part of this historic struggle is possible right here,” Bitran added.
Jeffrey Mensch, president of Tigers for Israel, a pro-Israel student group, dismissed the protesters’ claims, according to the report.
He told the Princetonian that the group was “concerned about the absurd claim that Israel’s security fence, instituted to prevent suicide terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, constitutes an ‘Apartheid Wall.'”

Mossad behind Italian ‘blackmail’ spying scandal
The Cradle | November 1, 2024
An Italian private intelligence firm that allegedly hacked government databases to collect information on thousands of prominent people, including politicians, entrepreneurs, and celebrities, is accused of working for Israeli intelligence and the Vatican, media reported on 30 October.
Police wiretaps leaked to Italian media show that Equalize, which employs former members of Italian intelligence, is accused of breaching the servers of government ministries and the police between 2019 and 2024 to collect information.
Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Equalize allegedly collected numerous classified files that contain sensitive information about prominent Italians to sell to clients – including major companies and law firms seeking information to gain an advantage over competitors, win court cases, or for blackmail and extortion.
Prime Minister Meloni described the alleged scheme as “unacceptable” and “a threat to democracy.” … continue

Leave it to the Zionists and their stooges to justify the existance of the illegal Nazi separation wall on occupied Palestinian land.
Tigers for Israel you will become the pussicats of the past.

Was Israel Ever Legitimate? NO!
http://www.criminalstate.com/2010/04/was-israel-ever-legitimate/
The history of Israel as a geopolitical fraud will fill entire libraries as those defrauded marvel at how so few deceived so many for so long. Those duped include many naive Jews who—even now—identify their interests with this extremist enclave.
Israeli leaders are wrong to worry about “de-legitimization”. They are right to fear that a long-deceived public is fast realizing that Israel’s founding was key to an ongoing deception.
The Invention of the Jewish People did not begin with Shlomo Sand’s 2009 bestseller by that title. There was no Exile says this Jewish scholar. Nor was there an Exodus. So how could there be a Return, the core premise of Israeli statehood?
If this patch of Palestinian land never rightly belonged to a mythical Jewish People, what then for the legitimacy of the “Jewish homeland”. And for that depiction by British Foreign Secretary Alfred Balfour in his November 1917 letter to Lord Rothschild?
Were Christians likewise seduced by Sunday school teachings reliant on the phony findings of Biblical archeologist William Albright? Shlomo Sand chronicles how in the 1920s Albright interpreted every excavation in Palestine to “reaffirm the Old Testament and thereby the New.”

This is why we Americans must stop electing every cunning Jew that runs for office. They are most often Israel firsters who never put the interest of America first. The government is now controled by Jews who make up 10% of the population, but represent over 90 % of government officials. Time to vote all them out of office next election and put in real Americans. The government Jews always vote to give billions of your tax dollars to the terrorist state of Israel , and vote for Israel in every dirty offense they commit. Stop this and we can stop them in Palistine.

Jews don’t make 10% of the population it is about 1.4-1.5%.
By the way the Nazis in Germany started their movement in the same way, as a well organized minority the terrorized the majority into their crimes.
