You know the old definition of chutzpah?

A guy kills his mother and father and pleads for mercy on the grounds that he is an orphan.

I think we are ready for a new definition. It is the neoconservative response to the argument that an Israeli bombing attack on Iran would put American soldiers in the Middle East at serious risk.

VIDEO Shocker: AIPAC Senior Staffer Explains How It Keeps Congress In Line

Speaking at AIPAC's conference last month, senior staffer Jonathan Kessler told students how AIPAC will handle the UC Berkeley student council if it passes a resolution AIPAC considers anti-Israel. He then, in an unprecedented move in front of the cameras, explains how AIPAC operates in "our nation's capital." This is an excerpt of a video produced by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Not a word has been changed. Here is the original longer version from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), which is the Jewish community's Associated Press. Excerpts starts at 2:58. If you doubt these words are real, call AIPAC. They do not deny any of it EXCEPT to say that they don't officially take a stand on student elections.
But that is not the main point here. The main point is the admission that AIPAC will defeat Members of Congress it deems anti-Israel. That happens to be against the law. AIPAC is not a PAC.

This has to be seen to be believed.

Dr. Martin Kramer, a fellow at Harvard's National Security Studies Program, has posted a speech he delivered two weeks ago in Israel in which he urged solving the Palestinian refugee problem by population control i.e "stopping pro-natal subsidies to Palestinians with refugee status." In other words, starve the Palestinians so they don't have babies and, he seems to be saying, starving the babies so they don't grow up.

Marek Edelman died yesterday in Warsaw. Dr. Edelman was a great Polish and Jewish hero. The New York Times obituary describes a human being who makes you proud to be human, and humbled too.

By MJ Rosenberg

The right-wing of the "pro-Israel" (in quotes because they are anything but) commentariat is worried. It is beginning to look like President Ahmadinejad might lost Friday's election.

In Congress, there have been several attempts this week to push through anti-Iran measures as Iranians start heading to the polls.A bill imposing new sanctions was scheduled for House floor action on Tuesday until the White House got it pulled.

This is huge.

President Ahmadinejad tells George Stephanopoulos this morning that he accepts the two-state solution. This is the last thing the neocons wanted to hear. After all, if Iran says it can live in peace with Israel, there goes the pretext for war.

President Obama is telling Democrats on Capitol Hill that, if Netanyahu continues in his opposition to negotiations, he is going to take him on.

It is essential that he do this because Prime Ministers of Israel tend to run to Congress if the US President deviates from, what the Prime Minister perceives as 100% support.
