I Cannot Help But Wonder...

 Is Israel the 51st state  of the US?.  Or is the US a territory under

the control of Israel.  It is unbelievable that the Israeli Knesset

and the American Congress would be simultaneously involved with

passing laws that would impose fines and sanctions on anybody who

promotes any non-violent movement such as the  BDS (Boycot Divestment

and Sanctions) against Israel for its  continued illegal military

occupation of the Palestinian Territories.

While both the US and  the United Nations consider the occupation of

the West Bank as well as the annexation of East Jerusalem and the

building of settlements are illegal, yet the US continues to support

Israel in pursuing this illegal status.  While we Palestinians are

physically occupied by Israel, the US, however, is  morally and

psychologically occupied.

Mr. Netanyahu keeps claiming that Israel is the state for all Jews,

inviting all Jews from all over the world to come to Israel.  Yet how

ironic that  a Jewish lady Rabbi, Alissa Wise,  who was a member of

an interfaith delegation planning to come and visit Israel was denied

with the rest of the delegation from boarding  a Lufthansa Airlines

jet at Washington Dulles International Airport heading to Israel.

It seems the Prime Minister would like to welcome only Jews who

approve and support  all the illegal measures of the State.  The

sincere Jews and non- Jews who for the sake of the welfare of Israel

would like to see a non-violent way to end the  occupation, are not

welcome to Israel.  There is no doubt that  the Prime Minister and his

right wing government are proving to be their own worst enemies.
