How about a cartoon concerning the following, Guyer? You could put Uncle Sam and Atias in a dark back alley somewhere, with Sam slipping this despicable racist pig Atias a check for a coupla billion bucks. Make sure both of them are drooling, will ya?

Housing Minister: Spread of Arab population must be stopped

By Guy Lieberman, Haaretz Correspondent

Housing Minister Ariel Atias on Thursday warned against the spread of Arab population into various parts of Israel, saying that preventing this phenomenon was no less than a national responsibility.

"I see [it] as a national duty to prevent the spread of a population that, to say the least, does not love the state of Israel," Atias told a conference of the Israel Bar Association, which focused on a reforming Israel's Land Administration.

The Shas minister referred to Harish, a housing project built for the Haredi community in northern Israel, saying that the Arab population from the nearby Wadi Ara was spreading into the Harish area.


Atias went on to address the issue of the Galilee, saying that "if we go on like we have until now, we will lose the Galilee. Populations that should not mix are spreading there. I don't think that it is appropriate [for them] to live together."

"I see [it] as a national duty to prevent the spread of a population that, to say the least, does not love the state of Israel,"

let me see here... i suppose the jewish people just all love the arabs!!!! does this mean it is a arabs duty to prevent the spread of a population that, to say the least, does not love arabs?? man do these folks ever think of the shoe on the other foot? servitude to bullshit propaganda is all that some are capable of, with the housing minister ariel atias flipping the bill this time....

Hitler and many Europeans had similar thoughts about the Jews
and their sentiments towards the state of Germany from the
beginning of the 1920`s till the mid 40`s. And nobody see any
reason to fire the Housing Minister of israel? Mind-boggling and
very sad.

Ynet meets Dr. Eran Lerman, who took office Thursday as deputy chief of Israel's National Security Council.
For the last nine years, Dr. Lerman has served as the director of the American Jewish Committee's Middle East office. The AJC is one of the oldest Jewish organizations in the United States, established 103 years ago. Lerman started his work with the organization while Bill Clinton was still president and is finishing it as Jerusalem is showing certain suspicions about the new US administration.

Thanks to Jeff Blankfort, who writes, "that this former Israeli intelligence official who was the head of the AJC's Middle East office can shift so easy into an important position in the Israeli government would indicate that there is actually no line between the AJC and whatever government is in power in Israel."

Yup, it's telling. I always avoid these threads because I'm terrified of...whatever it is I'm terrified of.

Lessee, I'm ascareded of admitting that Israel engages in what I might consider, umm, wickedness.

I'm ascareded of Mr. Mondoweiss, your man of the hour.

I'm ascareded of there being any racists in Israel.

I'm ascareded of THE TRUTH as posted by POA.

I'm ascareded of these threads. WAHHHHH!
