Many Zionists will fight tooth and nail to keep the democratic platform from changing. It’s Israel all the way.

Thanks for this piece, Richard.

dkps doesn’t represent a full spectrum blog. kos has made it clear israel/palestine is not to be discussed there. once i posted on the rabbis who came out in support of the principle of that middle eastern school in nyc (i can’t remeber her name now) and they were a little picky w/regards to my wording, it is like walking on eggshells. it isn’t only the I/P topic, it includes stealing elections (bug no no) and anything regarding 9/11.

they have this pc patrol that reads the diaries when they first arrive on the list and anything not pc gets slammed big time. it happened just last night w/an election rigging diary.

my personal belief is that the megaphone crowd has so many posters that alert others, there is simply an incredible amount of intimidation and threat to talk about it. it is horrid.

dkos is there to elect democrats, not pose any kind of threat to them. everyone knows crossing aipac is career suicide, as daniel pearl pointed out.

it’s disgusting, even standing up to carter is dangerous. out here in the real world people are pissed at israel, you just aren’t allowed to say it publicly lest you get accused of being some radical. it will backfire, it is very sad.

Armando was one of the people who helped found Daily Kos with Markos Moulitsas. His is the name one dare not mention there. Actually there’s a rule that you can’t use anyone’s real name in the threads. THough in conducting a dispute with me my name was mentioned explicitly at the same time I mentioned Armando’s name. But since the person who used my name is a good friend & ally of the DK elite, he wasn’t disciplined & I was.
