Gandhi grandson falls victim to Zionist lobby

The grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, 75-year-old Arun Gandhi, has been persecuted and hounded out of the M.K. Gandhi Institute, founded by him in the U.S., following his remarks that Israel and the Jews are the biggest players in a global culture of violence.

Arun Gandhi, the fifth grandson of the revered pacifist, became the target of the influential Jewish lobby in the U.S. and, according to his son Tushar Gandhi, was persecuted for his point of view.

Arun Gandhi became the victim of hate propaganda and was left with no choice but to submit his resignation on Friday to the board of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence based at the University of Rochester.

Arun Gandhi had taken a peace mission to Palestine and had met Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat just 10 days before his death. He had met Israeli leaders as well, and later sat in silent protest against the construction of what he described as the “apartheid wall” by Israel to block the Palestinians in segregated quarters.

Mr. Gandhi said he had come in the line of fire since then with a particularly virulent arm of the Jewish lobby in the U.S. launching a concerted campaign against him. “I forget their name, but I call them Zionist Nazis,” he said. (more…)

Health Care in Israel: What U.S. Tax Dollars buy

By Greg Bacon

If you have health insurance, have the premiums gotten so high that you are having to choose between paying that or paying your rent/mortgage?

Maybe you should move to Israel, where they have one of the finest health care systems around, thanks to American tax payers forking over billions and billions of dollars a year to their Israeli “brethern.”

Just don’t expect this subject to come up in the “dog and pony shows” that are masquerading as presidential debates.

They have much meatier fare to dwell on, such as whether Hillary prefers diamonds or pearls.

Or if Kucinich actually saw a UFO.

On the Republican side, the two leading war mongers are acting like they’re at an auction, upstaging one another by promising to bomb Iran faster than the other guy.

Romney: “I’ll bomb Iran within the first week of taking office.”

McCain: “I’ll bomb Iran within the first three days of takng office.”

Romeny: I’ll bomb Iran within the first 24 hours of taking office.”

Etc.

Just be glad to know that the next time you put off going to see a doctor because you can’t afford the bill, that your hard earned tax monies are giving your Israeli “brethern” one of the finest health care systems in the world.
