ZOA lobbies Congress on Iran, PA
JTA | April 22, 2010
WASHINGTON — Activists for the Zionist Organization of America lobbied Congress to consider military action against Iran.
In more than 100 meetings with members of Congress on Wednesday, the ZOA said hundreds of its activists also asked the lawmakers to defund the Palestinian Authority, press the U.S. embassy issue and enshrine anti-Jewish discrimination safeguards in education legislation.
Thirty lawmakers addressed the group’s luncheon, the ZOA said.
The activists “urged the necessity of military action should peaceful, diplomatic measures fail to stop Iran’s drive to obtain a nuclear weapons capability,” a ZOA statement said, and called for a suspension of assistance for the Palestinian Authority until it ends incitement, outlaws terrorist groups and confiscates illegal weapons.
The statement also called for new legislation that would remove the presidential waiver from existing legislation requiring the United States to move its Israel embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Such a removal would likely have little effect; successive presidents have cited broader waivers to assert executive primacy in foreign policy.
The ZOA activists also sought congressional action “to make clear that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — which protects against racial and ethnic discrimination — encompasses anti-Jewish incidents and protects Jewish students from anti-Semitic harassment and intimidation.”
This has been a thorny issue, as successive administrations and congresses have sought to include such protections while also protecting church-state separation. Bush administration appointees, for instance, were concerned that such language would inhibit proselytization.

Revisionist History Books Banned by Amazon
By Michael Hoffman • Unz Review • August 25, 2018
On August 13, 2018 Amazon banned Judaism’s Strange Gods: Revised and Expanded, which was published in 2011 and sold by Amazon for the past seven years. Along with the much larger study, Judaism Discovered, (sold by Amazon since 2008), it has had an international impact both as a softcover volume as well as a digital book circulating on the Amazon Kindle.
Sales to India, Japan and the Middle East were rapidly growing. The digital Kindle format is particularly important for the free circulation of books because it bypasses borders and customs and hurdles over the prohibitive cost of shipping which the US Postal Service imposed on mail to overseas destinations several years ago (eliminating economical surface mail).
Amazon has also banned The Great Holocaust Trial: The Landmark Battle for the Right to Doubt the West’s Most Sacred Relic (sold by Amazon since 2010).
These volumes maintain a high standard of scholarly excellence, had a majority of favorable reviews by Amazon customers, are free of hatred and bigotry and have sold thousands of copies on Amazon. Out of the blue we were told that suddenly “Amazon KDP” discovered that the books are in violation of Amazon’s “content guidelines.” Asking for documentation of the charge results in no response. It is enough that the accusation has been tendered. The accused are guilty until proved innocent, although how proof of innocence is presented is anyone’s guess. There is no appeals process. This is what is known as “Tech Tyranny.”
There is a nationwide purge underway that amounts to a new McCarthyism — blacklisting and banning politically incorrect speech and history books under the rubric of “hate speech” accusations, initiated in part by two Zionist thought police organizations, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). It’s a flimsy pretext for censoring controversial scholarly books that can’t be refuted.
In addition to our books being hate-free, we note that there are hundreds of hate-filled Zionist and rabbinic books brimming with ferocious bigotry for Palestinians, Germans and goyim in general, which are sold by Amazon. … continue

NO!!! God no! No war with Iran. F- politics, this is about HUMANITY! War with Iran, that ancient and rich culture, will probably be the start of WW3. To what end? Have we forgotten “never again”? Do we miss the “excitement” of war?
Looks as though the students and protesters of the Iranian revolution had a point when they shouted “Marg bar Amrika”
It means death to america, and really, who can blame them?
I am not a fanatical extremist, but when a rabid dog is running loose on the streets, you don’t go over and pet it. You kill it! Duh.
America has shown itself to be a rabid dog, running loose all over the world, destroying cultures in pursuit of some nebulous idea of “manifest destiny” Stop it now, or there might not BE a world to save.

This is statement from the Zionists of America lobbying the weak and corrupt Congress members “…..called for a suspension of assistance for the Palestinian Authority until it ends incitement, outlaws terrorist groups and confiscates illegal weapons….”
Has anyone ever seen anything so blatantly disgusting as this! These Zionists must be on some form of hallucinatory drugs. Either that, or they are so confident that the press reports on this matter will be tailored to suit their objectives.
This must surely go down in the annals of history as the most outrageous statement by anyone at any time.
This coming from the US mouthpiece of a foreign country who in Palestine allow new ‘settlers’ to abuse, kill and maim the real owners of the country they have illegally occupied since 1948 who do not have aircraft, tanks, phosphorous bombs, cruel and de-humanised soldiers who by stealt and murder are trying to steal all the Palestinian land they can.
The fact that such people speaking in the US can even find Congress members to face them in light of these comments, is beyond any kind of understanding and shows how low the political climate has reached with the full support of the media.
The US is on a slippery slope of Jewish Empire. Take your country back, America, now.
