(2) visa policies in the West Bank
ISRAELI officials have confirmed a tightening of visa policies in the West Bank that could force thousands of Palestinians to leave the occupied area.
Palestinians with foreign passports who have lived for up to 12 years in the West Bank on tourist visas, many of them raising families, are for the first time being turned away at the border as they try to re-enter.
The change in approach has far-reaching and dire humanitarian, social and economic repercussions, Israeli and Palestinian critics say.
It is already separating foreign spouses from their families in the West Bank and the exclusion of expatriates promises to erode the Palestinian middle class and further harm the depressed Palestinian economy, the critics warn.
On Saturday the 26th of August, Israeli military invaded the Jabal Shamali area of Nablus and destroyed 22 homes, according to an eyewitness report from the International Solidarity Movement. The next day, Israel
it's very hard to criticise, because if you say one thing about Israel, even just a little commen, or a question. you're being called nazi or anti-semetic. But we just need to see things even if we don't wanna see them. by doing that, we can change them
If you say something against the prophet you might get killed!
I wonder which is worse, TVO ?


But what the Stanford and Columbia academics find “somewhat surprising” is the partisan breakdown among the American public: “Democrats were especially prone to blaming Jews: while 32 percent of Democrats accorded at least moderate blame, only 18.4 percent of Republicans did so (a statistically significant difference).” Why is this surprising? Because of “the presumed higher degree of racial tolerance among liberals and the fact that Jews are a central part of the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition.”
Or maybe most American Jews foolishly continue to maintain allegiance to a party that includes lots of people who don’t like them much (and who certainly don’t like Israel much)? And maybe there isn’t in fact a higher degree of tolerance (for Jews, at least) among Democrats than Republicans?
In any case, just to restate: In a survey administered by (apparently) liberal academics, looking at attitudes not towards Israel or Likud but towads Jews per se--Democrats are almost twice as likely to be hostile to Jews than Republicans.



The bone i am picking with your train is your snide conclusion about the Obama administration. Now if i wanted to cherry pick an individual, i could mention Obama's chief of staff who even served as a civilian volunteer assisting the Israel Defense Forces. But my point is that drawing conclusions from cherry picking torts of 714 is useless.
Why not discuss the real issue. It is true that this administration is making a clear stand against Israeli settlements. Now that has nothing to do with being Anti-Semitic and everything to do with what is necessary for a fair solution to the Palestinian issue.

Btw, just in case you care, i don't believe that Democrats are any more Anti-Semitic than Republicans, the Boston Review's so called study notwistanding. To be confidant of those kind of correlations you need to conduct very careful scientific testing. I seriously doubt that you can prove that kind of correlation simply by asking a loaded question.
