Zionist love Bolton - will give him a Defender of Israel award

http://www.zoa.org/pressrel2005/20051121b.htm


UN Amb. John Bolton And Jerusalem Post's Caroline Glick
Speak At ZOA Brandeis Award Dinner Dec. 11

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is pleased to announce that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton will be the Keynote Speaker at the annual ZOA Louis Brandeis Award Dinner. He will also receive ZOA’s Defender of Israel award. Caroline Glick, the Deputy Managing Editor of the Jerusalem Post and syndicated columnist will receive the Ben Hecht Award for Outstanding Journalism in the Mideast. Morton Klein, National President of the ZOA, will also be speaking.

-snip-

Amb. Bolton previously served as Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security as well as Assistant Secretary for International Organizational Affairs at the U.S. State Department, Assistant Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice and General Counsel for the U.S. Agency for International Development. He was the key player in repealing the U.N. Resolution stating that “Zionism is racism.” He is a graduate of Yale and Yale Law School.

Recently, the ZOA was described by The Wall Street Journal as "the most credible advocate for Israel on the American Jewish scene." The Jerusalem Post said, "The ZOA is one of the most important and influential Jewish groups in the U.S."

The ZOA's Capitol Hill Office works closely with Congress on issues of import to U.S.-Israel relations. The ZOA Center for Law and Justice works through the U.S. judicial system in defense of Israel and Jewish rights, and has recently filed a complaint under Title VI of the Civil Rights Laws concerning discrimination against Jewish students at universities. The ZOA Campus Action Network helps Jewish students fight pro-Arab propaganda on campus through bringing speakers, showing films, distributing educational materials, and holding workshops. ZOA has recently launched a new pro-Israel magazine called The College Zionist and distributed it at over 100 campuses throughout the country. The ZOA also stages rallies, holds press conferences, publishes full-page newspaper "issue ads," and creates publications, to defend Israel's good name and expose the Palestinian Authority's pro-terrorist behavior. The ZOA is widely credited with leading the charge to expose and publicize the Palestinian Authority's violations of the Oslo accords and President Bush's "Road Map" plan.

1. Power Is An Aphrodisiac
The ZOA supports and boosts the incumbent PM of Israel, and the incumbent President of the US - without regard to race, religion, creed or party.

Like most membership organizations in DC.

2. it's sad to see how cowardly Democratic Underground is when it

comes to Israel.

any post about Israel gets banned to the basement Israel/Palestine forum.

it's mystifying.

3. Not at all.
Cowardly would be if the thread was "Israeli scientist discovers cure to Cancer" and it was immediately tossed here. Although, most likely it would end up in here because someone would derail it. Your thread is about the I/P conflict in some ways. This forum and its moderators are better equipped to handle this topic.

4. you and i have been here long enough
to know why.. hell i`ve had a few warnings and deleted posts. i find it really interesting is that the people who are really interested in a rational debate are still here and those who posted flame baits are gone. the problem of the israeli-arab conflict hasn`t gone away and it`s even more a problem in this administration than in previous ones. i`m afraid this topic will always be in this forum...

5. Why
do you use the word criminal at the bottom of your post? Is it a crime to file a civil rights complaint? To have a magazine?

In your last few lines of the post is this "...to defend Israel's good name and expose the Palestinian Authority's pro-terrorist behavior. The ZOA is widely credited with leading the charge to expose and publicize the Palestinian Authority's violations of the Oslo accords and President Bush's "Road Map" plan."

Why use the word criminal for ZOA etal and in your own posted material you included from the article the PA's "pro terrorist behavior" and violations of the Oslo Accords...."

8.  Not that I know every reason why he is getting an award,
Edited on Sat Nov-26-05 04:29 PM by barb162
but I doubt if they agree with everything that he thinks, anymore than Arafat got a Nobel Prize for his sickass corruption. Actually I don't know how that terrorist got a Peace Prize. I asked you very specific questions from your own linked article and you didn't answer. Bolton... so he's a member of the Bush group... does that mean he never did anything good? Does that mean you disagree with his Hezbollah work this week at the UN, where blame was put in its rightful place, that is, on Hezbollah and its instigation of attacks on Israel?

9. Ever lobbied
Ever had an ARPA, NIH, NSF, DOE, DHHS grant?

Belong to a trade union?

Belong to a technical, professional, scientific, business organization?

Have a "voluntary" employee's PAC on your job?

Ever been on "K" Street?

Ever wondered about why DeLay wanted to keep Dems out of lobbying firms (most Washington law firms, ad agencies, etc)?

Ever been to a political fund raiser? Even for a local race?

DO YOU KNOW HOW "THE GAME IS PLAYED"

True Confession: I once contributed - under pressure - to Congressman Paul Findley. (Yes, I did complain and I did resign shortly after wards- oince I found I bettr job.}

Inflammatory. Subject and title are in violation of the I/P guidelines.
