The Zionist consensus has been breeched in recent weeks as far as the ideological control system in the United States is concerned. For a lifetime the United States has been completely uncritical of anything and everything Israeli. That carte blanch era has ended.
While the Goldstone report has been largely diverted by the Zionist lobby it remains a stunning exposure of the real Israel with its endless reports of civilian slaughter by a religiously motivated army. Somehow the one hundred to one casualty rates in favor of the Israelis has finally started to penetrate into public consciousness.
The apparent murder of a Hamas official in Dubai by the Israeli apartheid state has blown up in the face of Mossad and the Israeli regime. Now Mossad agents and Livni face charges for crimes in various jurisdictions. The era of Israeli impunity is rapidly ending.
While the old line Zionists are playing their same old games and gathering for a reactionary counteroffensive they are actually quite clueless. The era when everyone in the United States is totally for anything Israeli or Zionist is over.
Even more significant is that this change in public policy has been won through the essentially nonviolent and democratic struggle of hundreds of thousands of activists in more than forty lands. Progressive internationalism is possible and the effort to guarantee the rights of the Palestinian people in the face of a colonial settler state could be just the beginning of changing the situation for all oppressed peoples, leading them from oppression to liberation.
Of course the hard core imperialists and subimperialists may or may not like this change. On the one hand Israel may threaten world peace more than any other nation, precisely because it is a strategic nuclear power with a strongly independent government. So the United States, as the recent statement by General Petraeus suggests, is probably in conflict with Israeli maximalists, those who seek to obliterate Palestinian rule anywhere. Of course this is and has been the Israeli policy to somehow dispose of the unwanted non-Jewish population so what does the United States have to do with that kind of apartheid really?
In recent years a strong Zionist movement has sought to place the United States in violent confrontation with the Muslim world. It is a bad idea that has partially succeeded with the wars in Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere. Of course this Zionism may be more based in the United States than Israel for all I know.

GAZA FREEDOM MARCH AND VIVA PALESTINA BREAK THRU THE PROPAGANDA WALL
Despite the crackdown against democratic international activists by the Egyptian and Israeli tyrannies the amazing Zionist influence over the United States and Great Britain is beginning to show cracks, serious ones.
For decades the plight of the Palestinians has been hidden and or represented as the "problem of terrorism", one of the great falsifications of history embraced by too many Americans and Israelis alike.
In one of the classic cases of "blaming the victim" the United States Zionist polity and the Israeli settler-state alike have claimed that the only problem with the Middle East is the people who live there! Because the "land without a people", according to the Zionist godfathers, had a people, the Palestinians!
It reminds me of a statement by a terror bomber, a United States Air Force pilot who visited my High School during the Vietnam Holocaust. He was personable and happy to pose as a hero. He got tremendous applause because he was, of course, protecting us from evil communist peasants in the rice paddies of Vietnam! He said something I will never forget, "Vietnam is a beautiful country. The only thing wrong with it is the Vietnamese living there." So there you have it, America then and America now.
Of course, this terrible attitude by the so-called hero was offensive to me and others. It is the same attitude the Zionists have towards the Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims. Look at Mayor Koch's recent comments about hundreds of millions of Muslims wanting to blow themselves up to kill us!
Fortunately the fortress of imperial and colonial lies is collapsing. With so many people able to see the horrible, concentration camp-like treatment of the Palestinians already the jig is up, the story is out and getting out. Thousands of now banned visitors are back in their home countries telling the story about how Israel is murdering the Palestinians and all the other horrors.
It will be harder and harder for those who previously have been sitting back and cultivating their self-righteous "ignorance". It is no longer wrong or unthinkable to call a Zionist a criminal when they commit crimes. Zionist propagandist in the United States used to have absolute and complete immunity from dissent or criticism but with them starving and sieging the Palestinians their criminality is more blatantly clear each and every day.
Educate the ignorant! Expose the Zionists in our nation, the United States of America.
Boycott Israel!
Disinvest in Israeli Businesses!
Sanction Israel!
Break the Siege of Palestine!
