<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Days after officials at the Federation of International Football Associations announced plans to allow a vote on whether or not to allow Israel to remain in the association, the United States launched a widespread prosecution against’s FIFA’s international leadership in Zurich Switzerland.

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
The U.S. Justice Department issued arrest warrants for 14 leaders of the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) in Zurich, Switzerland on Wednesday, days after the head of FIFA announced he would permit a vote this week on a Palestinian resolution to suspend Israel from FIFA’s international soccer games.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
Palestinians have accused Israel of apartheid discrimination and racism, citing Beitar Israel, the Israeli soccer team which bans non-Jews from playing and encourages fans to racist hatred and violence at games. They want Israel to allow non-Jews to play in its leagues and to crackdown on the racism and violence by Israelis against Christians and Muslims.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
<br />
Israelis responded by arguing that there is racism and violence at soccer games around the world, so why crackdown on Israel?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
<br />
But rather than allow the vote, the administration of President Barak Obama, who is in a tight Israeli political headlock, sent FBI agents to Zurich to arrest the 14 FIFA officials on charges of engaging in corruption “over the past 20 years.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; word-break: break-word;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; word-break: break-word;">

Obviously there was an immediate need to crack down now, I mean, after 20 years of “corruption.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
The arrests are viewed as a typically cynical and hypocritical move by the United States to defend Israel, and to ignore Israel’s violations of human and civil rights.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
<br />
Obama has tried to confront Israel but has had his teeth kicked in by the Israeli lobby, AIPAC, which wields a brutal influence over Washington D.C. politics. Americans and their elected officials are not allowed to criticize Israel. If they do, the critics are denounced as anti-Semitic and Israel pours millions into election coffers to remove them from office.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
<br />
The Guardian Newspaper, in an editorial last week, wrote that the suspension should go through because of Israel’s racist policies against non-Jewish citizens specifically Christian and Muslim Palestinians.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></em>
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">“The IFA [Israel Football Association] welcomes teams from illegal settlements into its leagues and competitions. It has racially segregated part of its national children’s league, incurring legal action. It has never once disciplined Beitar Jerusalem FC for that club’s longstanding apparent ban on the hiring of Arab players, or taken serious action to curb the notorious anti-Arab violence of its supporters. Two years of diplomacy have failed to secure change, and FIFA must now take punitive action in defence of its humanitarian ethos.”</em></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">
<br />
Word in Washington D.C. is that the U.S. Government has been exploring prosecuting the Guardian staff for violating the fundamental principle of American Journalism that you can’t criticize Israel without consequences.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #656565; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; word-break: break-word;">

Israel isn’t America’s 51st State. America is Israel’s 51st Settlement. Just ask Fox & Fiends!<br />

Kim Kardashian, the HUGE Reality TV star, has come out swinging for Syrian Dictator Bashar al-Assad and defending his government against the Syrian Rebels, claiming that the rebels are killing Armenians in Kesab (Kessab) near the Syrian border with Turkey, where 100 years ago, Armenians were massacred by the Ottomans. Thabet and Qassem of Ikhras have really gotten excited about that in this latest edition of "IkhrAss: The Comic Strip" from Ray Hanania.</div>

Ikhras is a racist, anti-Arab site funded by Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad to promote divisions and conflict among Arabs in America. The two proprietors of Ikhras, Thabet al-Arabi and Qassem Lufti are Washington D.C. Arab activists who support Assad's tyranny against the Syrian civilians and lie and foment libel against anyone who challenges Assad's despotic regime. This comic strip, IkhrAss, seeks to expose their anti-Arab, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish political agenda.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Ikhras haters Thabit al-Arabi and Qassem Lufti, who have a life-long difficulty with the English language, moderation and accuracy, have laid out (or lied out) a long list of reasons why they think </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Syrian Dictator Bashar al-Assad</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"> shouldn't be attacked and that the pro-Democracy protesters should be blamed and criticized.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">But they know that their support for the Syrian government, which has murdered more than 4,000 innocent civilians including hundreds of children, is not an easy one to argue. It makes them look like hypocrites as they assault and slander an array of people including. Their targets include star comedians Dean Obeidallah and Maysoon Zayid (who host the annual New York Arab Comedy Festival), and writers Hussein Ibish, Ray Hanania and Mona eltahawy. These are but a few of the scores of people that Ikhras brutalizes in their online verbal assaults as if they were the Syrian military police attacking civilians seeking freedom in Homs. (I can just see the Ikhras goofs cheering as new statistics surface about innocent Syrian civilians being killed by the Syrian Government that they consistently defend.)</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">All you have to do is read their Twitter posts, posts that Qassem and Thabet recently referred to as "Twits" in an email. Maybe that's because they are the "twits."</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Hussein Ibish has penned a scathing expose of who these sad refugees from truth really are.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">But here are some of their most recent Tweets (Yes Thabet and Qassem, they're called Tweets, not Twits!) that demonstrate and prove their loyalty to the Syrian Dictatorship and why they pick and chose their words carefully to pretend as if they care about, say, the Palestinian refugees (they don't) or the people of Egypt (they don't) or ADC (which upsets them the most because ADC fights for the rights of victims of discrimination including those bullied by cowards like Qassem and Thabet and the Ikhras gaggle of online bullies).</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Read how they carefully tiptoe and pretend they do not support the brutality of the Syrian regime, and then use that argument as a means of attacking others. The way they exploit the suffering of the Palestinians as a means of saying, hey, what's happening in Syria isn't that important because Bush is a liar and a murderer, too.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Their theme here is right out of the Little Red Book published by Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian Baath Party dictators.</span><br />

<b>Shades of Gray: Israel's Democracy is not very Democratic</b><i>Click comic strip to view larger image</i><br />
By Ray Hanania<br />

Shades of Gray Comic Strip<br />
March 3, 2011<br />

Egypt's Democracy becomes a real problem for the US Congress</b><br />
The United States has supported the dictatorship of Egypt's Husni Mubarak for three decades mainly to use him to oppress any public opposition to American foreign policy and to eliminate any Egyptian pressure on Israel to compromise with the Palestinians. But the United States has also used Egypt as a place where prisoners could be taken outside of American "laws" and tortured to extract desired confessions. Thousands of prisoners have been tortured over the years as a part of America's political war on terrorism.Ray Hananiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03268228482144027190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572176110649268677.post-48542797714178063062011-02-03T14:53:00.000-06:002011-02-03T14:53:47.145-06:00Democracy is bad, when it's in another country, apparently<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=rayhanania" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')"><img alt="Bookmark and Share" height="16" src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" style="border: 0;" width="125" /></a><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=rayhanania" type="text/javascript">

President Obama and the United States are begging Israel to adopt a three month partial freeze in order to kick start the peace process and negotiations with the Palestinians. The Palestinians are ready to accept Israel's hold on most of the settlements in exchange for final borders, but Israel's Netanyahu is dragging his feet and demanding more.

Israel balks on peace to salvage Jonathan Pollard, the spy who stole critical American secrets that jeopardized the lives of thousands of American soldiers and spies for Israel. Pollard was paid huge sums and lavished with gold and jewelry by Israel in exchange for the information, some of which made it to Pakistan and enemies of the United States.Ray Hananiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03268228482144027190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572176110649268677.post-91723092565102481742010-09-17T10:06:00.000-05:002010-09-17T10:06:34.875-05:00Ground Zero Mosque debate filled with hypocrisy<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=rayhanania" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')"><img alt="Bookmark and Share" height="16" src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" style="border: 0;" width="125" /></a><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=rayhanania" type="text/javascript">

July 12, 2010 Octavia Nasr fired<br />
CNN Senior editor Octavia Nasr is fired because she expressed condolences on the death of Lebanese cleric Ayatollah Fadlallah. Fadlallah was a founder of Hezbollah, an avowed enemy of Israel and denounced as a terrorist organization by the United States. But Hezbollah was founded in 1980 in part by Fadlallah in response to Israel's vicious military assault and occupation of Lebanon. Later, Fadlallah distanced himself from some of Hezbollah;s policies, but was a leader in championing the rights of women, calling for the abolition of laws and practices called "Honor Killings" where the murder of women accused or rumored to have brought shame to their families would be hailed as a male right with the perpetrators not serving any time in prison. The outcry against Nasr originated with American Jewish organizations, such as the Simon Weisenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League (the latter saying it accepted Nasr's apology for using Twitter, which restricts postings to 140 characters (or 35 words), to express a feeling that required more context. She was the second senior American Arab journalist to lose her job in two months. Only many weeks before, Helen Thomas was fired from Hearst Corporation for criticizing Israeli policies in the West Bank, comments distorted by anti-Arab activists in the United States and Israel who claimed she was anti-Semitic.Ray Hananiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03268228482144027190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572176110649268677.post-20248879184344463552010-06-21T19:32:00.000-05:002010-06-21T19:32:34.000-05:0006-22-10 Hamas decries Israeli restrictions but imposes its own siege on secular Arab culture<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=rayhanania" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')"><img alt="Bookmark and Share" height="16" src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" style="border: 0;" width="125" /></a><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=rayhanania" type="text/javascript">

Israel launched a massive assault against a flotilla of boats seeking to break the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip and bring food and medicine to the 1.5 million starving Palestinians, and Israel's response from Danny Ayalon, the Deputy Foreign Minister, is Israel was defending itself. It is an amazing demonstration of clever Public Relations spin. Israeli soldiers who stormed the boats with guns and with surprise in international waters, claimed that when they landed on the boat and surprised the passengers with their guns and full battle gear, the civilians on the boat tried to defend themselves, which in Israel's eyes is an act of aggression.

Israel insists that Jerusalem is now an Open City as a city occupied by the Israeli military and surrounded by a concrete wall and barbed wire, but since it has come under Israeli occupation since 1967, Jerusalem has become the most closed city in the world. Billions of people, mainly Arabs and Muslims and anyone who is a critic of Israel's brutal occupation and rejection of peace, are banned by the Israeli government from entering the city. Even Palestinians born in the city, Christian and Muslim, are denied the right to pray at their religious shrines and only armed settlers, who train their children to kill Arabs, are allowed free access to the Holy City.<br />

Israel is given a pass on the critical issue of nuclear weapons by the United States. That hypocrisy undermines the world's efforts to control the proliferation of nuclear weapons and places the Middle East in a dangerous situation. Israel should be forced to open it's nuclear weapons sites for inspection by the World body and the United States should end the hypocrisy of giving Israel a waiver from principle, morality and the international rule of law.<br />

One man's terror street is another man's freedom fighter street. Israelis are angry because the Palestinians in Ramallah have named a street after an alleged terrorist who fought against Israel's brutal military occupation and oppression, Yahya Aiyash. Of course, Israelis are hypocrites when it comes to terrorism and are the biggest hypocrites of all when defending their own leaders who used terrorism like the arch terrorist of all time Menachem Begin who murdered 100 civilians in cold blood in 1947 at Deir Yassin to make a point. And then there was his terrorist pal Yitzhak Shamir, another cold blooded terrorist killer, and his disciple Ariel Sharon, another cold blooded terrorist murderer. And all of them have streets named in their honor all over Israel. I guess it is okay when the terrorists are Israeli.Ray Hananiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03268228482144027190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572176110649268677.post-33116205552747671552010-04-11T07:39:00.000-05:002010-04-11T07:39:47.100-05:0004-11-10: Israel orders mass evictions from West Bank.

Israel ordered mass evictions from the West Bank this week, but not of Israeli settlers from annexed and stolen lands, but Christians and Muslims living in the West Bank. It's a part of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to "create" a Palestinian State -- without any Palestinians in it.<br />
