Earlier this week, our Predator drone-wielding Nobel Peace Laureate President, Mitt Obama, took time out from sucking up to Asian dictators to piss and moan about missiles being used against civilians, and to reiterate his support for Israel’s right to defend itself with F-16s, tanks, guided missiles, cluster bombs and tac nukes against people with glorified bottle rockets, truck bombs and automatic rifles.

While utterly disgusting, it’s nonetheless not surprising, when you consider his kiss-up speech to the AIPAC conference early in his 2012 re-election campaign, and his conspicuous silence on earlier Israeli brutality in Gaza while awaiting his coronation in 2009.

Am I the only one here who saw those fotos of Netanyahu at the UN the other day and wondered “what the hell kind of pointy-haired middle-management dog’n’pony bullshit am I looking at?” Seriously, was the guy smoking crack on the plane to New York, or what?

Oh, and don’t forget, folks — you can’t pronounce “Netanyahu” without “yahoo”.

On the Al Jazeera English Live Twitter feed, I followed Sunday’s wet, sloppy blowjob — uh, that is, speech — by Barack Obama to the annual AIPAC bribefest down at the Convention Center. You know it’s campaign season again when AIPAC hits town and the parade of Washington toadies forms a line from the Capitol and the White House to the DC Convention Center

If you wanted to find out what Israel and the USA are guilty of, just check out Obama’s AIPAC speech and see what he accuses the Palestinians of doing. The hypocrisy, groveling, pandering and doubletalk were nothing short of breathtaking. Israel demands the recognition of their Right To Exist™, but they want to deny Palestine’s right to exist, except as an open-air prison. Israel demands the right to defend itself — while Palestine must sit still and be brutalized, and any act to defend itself is “terrorism”. Of course, the USA is ready to defend Israel’s record of oppression and brutality at the United Nations and elsewhere because… well, we’re all they’ve got. (Wasn’t that an old Cars song?)

DC Joins Millions Worldwide In Speaking Out Against Israeli Murder, Piracy

It was a boisterous and irate crowd that gathered yesterday outside the Israeli Embassy to protest the murder, kidnapping and piracy committed in international waters by the Israeli State against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla humanitarian aid ships destined to defy the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Along with large amounts of food, water and building materials, the ships carried a number of former European legislators, an 86 year-old Holocaust survivor and a Nobel Laureate — that is, a real Nobel Laureate — as opposed to Barack Obama, who might as well have gotten his Nobel Peace Prize out of a goddamn’ Cracker Jack box.

Also present were two — count ’em, two — members of Code Pink. Still, this was all that was necessary to attempt to inflict damage on the event through their now-patented “demojacking” technique perfected by Code Pink at a pro-Palestinian protest in January of last year. Happily for all of us, though, Code Pink’s attempt to ruin the event amounted to a big ol’ bucket of FAIL as less than ten protesters decided to take them up on a pointless, straggling little march to the White House.
