That would be nice if the Indian lobby was rich. Then, they could push the WASP-americans off of THEIR FUCKING LAND
I am sick of this stupid comparison the Zionists are always making. Indians in America have the full rights of other citizens, unlike Palestinians in the occupied territories. Indians also have more say over how they want to be taxed than other Americans, again, unlike Palestinians.
Nasty things were done to Indians, but we are making genuine amends, and they are growing stronger day by day. If Americans were still killing Indians, this would be an issue, but they are not.
I live with an Indian who happens to feel the same way I do about Zionists, many of whom are running casinos on Indian reservations and donating some of the proceeds to West Bank settlers. If you want to drag Indians into this issue, why don't you let them speak for themselves? Oh yeah, I forgot, you Zionists don't want any voice other than your own heard. That's why you always call those opposed to your bloodthirsty plans nazis, you libellous cowards.
"Prove it or shut up.
Firstly, Casino-owners usually don't give a shit to "zionism" and "west bank" "
Why don't you look up Irving Moscowitz? I hear he's pretty big in the bingo business in California. Maybe he'll give you a donation, too. Then you can go to Kiryat Arba and machine-gun Arab children.
Associated Press
1999 March 25
HAWAIIAN GARDENS, Calif. - The city is flirting with bankruptcy because of the terms of a gambling pact with a developer who is funneling bingo club earnings to Israel for construction of Jewish settlements, the city attorney alleged as she resigned.
City Attorney Julia Sylva delivered a scathing speech Tuesday night, condemning city ties to gambling club owner Irving Moskowitz and his attorney. Then she resigned, moments before a closed council session to discuss her termination.
Ms. Sylva claimed Wednesday that the bingo club-casino was illegally built with taxpayer money.
Moskowitz controls the nonprofit foundation running the city-licensed Hawaiian Gardens Bingo Club, whose tax-free proceeds are funneled to the Mideast.
More than $58 million raised at the Hawaiian Gardens bingo parlor some 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles goes to Israel each year, Ms. Sylva said. "And the city gets zero," she said.
Ms. Sylva was also legal counsel for the city's redevelopment agency, which is involved in the bingo parlor and casino project. The casino started in 1993 as a proposed supermarket and evolved into a block-long gambling hall.
Ms. Sylva claimed the development could cost taxpayers $20 million. "According to a sweetheart agreement, the agency has to pay 50 percent of some costs that will total about $20 million, including engineering, attorney's fees, tenants who lived there and were forced to relocate, and staff," she said.
"Redevelopment agencies are not in the business of building casinos," Ms.Sylva said.
Ms. Sylva said it took her three years to uncover illegalities and what she called "the incestuous relationship" between Moskowitz lawyer Beryl Weiner and the city. Weiner also acts as an attorney for the city. Weiner denied the allegations.
"Lies, lies and lies," Weiner said Wednesday night. "It's just another pathetic showing by Julia Sylva when she is trying to lash out at people who she regards as her enemies. None of what she's saying is based on any fact."
The club has passed state and federal audits, he said. The club grosses between $25 million to $26 million a year, with about 80 percent of that going to prizes. Another $1.5 million covers operating expenses and the rest goes to a variety of local charities such as the Hawaiian Gardens Public Safety and Police Foundation, the city's food bank, and ABC Dental Clinic, Weiner said. The club gives the city between 10 percent to 13 percent of its monthly gross revenues for its license.
In her resignation speech delivered to the council Tuesday night, Ms. Sylva said she was concerned about the city's relationship with the casino. "I requested that this relationship cease at once," she said. But her pleaswere ignored.
The City Council planned to meet Tuesday night "to terminate me for pursuing, uncovering and reporting many illegalities perpetrated by the Moskowitz Foundation, Irving Moskowitz and Beryl Weiner," Ms. Sylva said. "I told them gambling should not be supported with public funds. The city is nearly bankrupt because they keep supporting his gaming and gambling projects," Ms. Sylva said Wednesday.
The city attorney's undoing came on March 2 when a third pro-Moskowitz council member was elected to the five-member panel representing 13,600 residents. "The council had scheduled a closed session on the possible termination of the contract with the city attorney and she resigned prior to that," city spokesman Paul Hogan confirmed Wednesday. The city attorney isn't elected.
Mayor Betty J. Schultze refused to comment Wednesday on Ms. Sylva's resignation or her allegations. There was no telephone listing for Moskowitz, a Miami Beach multimillionaire. Weiner said he had not spoken with Moskowitz.
She didn't by any chance learn her math from David Irving, did she?

I shouldn't need to mention that Meyer Lansky was also a "friend of Israel." No wonder the Palestinians are treated so poorly; the evidence suggests that they were invaded by a gang of criminals.
Want proof? Just ask me.
DIRECT ACTION AGAINST FASCIST CENSORSHIP AND NAZI-PROPAGANDA ON THIS SITE
by antizionismisracism.com Thursday May 08, 2003 at 11:33 AM
Oh yeah, I forgot, you Anti-Zionists don't want any voice other than your own heard. That's why you always call those opposed to your bloodthirsty plans "zionazis", you libellous cowards.
On this site Free Speech is welcome only for the ""ZOG-ZOGZOG-ZIONISTZIONIST-ZIOSHMAZI-ZIOSHMAZI-ZIOZIOZIOZIOZIO""
racist bollox.
All other comments, which don't fit their narrow, biased opinion, will be deleted..
Neo-nazis whining about ""ZIONIST-CONTROL-THE-WORLD-MOON-AND-STARS""
and
SF-Indy fake"lefties"(real national-socialist wankers)
saying ""ZIONISTS-CONTROL-THE-WORLD.....""
Where is the difference ?
I have nothing against normal criticism against Sharon's politics, but delirium "ZOG-control-the-Earth-and-Universe" is NOT genuine criticism of Israel,
just demonization and dehumanization of the jews, originating from the Dark Ages, where Nessie & Co belong.
Look at this thread below :
http://www.indybay.org/news/2003/04/1603543_comment.php#1603883
The article from that link (actually from corp-media) nick-name
“pro-scum” raped with own ""ZOG-ZOG-ZOG"" contribution (look at the end of article).
Anyone with normal brain function knows that the term "ZOG" originates from the White-supremacists classical lexicon.
In White Power music "fight ZOG" is a main theme..
Why they're so afraid to discuss THIS subject
Because the truth hurts.
Why are they changing the subject again and again, instead of honestly answering the points being made?
Because they are trying to deflect attention from their own racism.
Because the truth hurts.
Before spending some time reading on Indymedia, I used to believe that the term "AntiZionist-nazi" went too far, and should not be used.
But after reading Indymedia and White Aryan websites I have conclusion that there is not so big a difference between the both of them.
Here below are some racist comments, written by the ultra-conservative
SF-Indy staff themself: (you can find much more on many other threads):
http://www.indybay.org/news/2003/04/1595234_comment.php#1595797
(note- quotes below are from the COMMENTS, not from the article)
.
""" Zionists wanted this war, Zionists got this war, and we have to confront them as the authors of this war. """
Compare with the neo-nazis websites :
""Zionists wanted this war, Zionists get this war..."
DO You see ANY difference ?
""Zionism is a disease ..."
Neo-nazis (just check their websites ) :
"Zionism is a disease..."
DO You see any difference?
More Indy-nazi crap:
<<<Zionists are poisoning our planet, oppressing workers, commiting genocide against minorites and torturing children. <<<
compare with white aryan nation's websites ::
<<Zionists are poisoning our planet....<<< yadda yadda
Do You see ANY difference ??
<<If you don't dream of dead Zionists, then you have been brainwashed by the Zionst controlled media <<
Compare with Hitler's words.
compare with ANY neo-nazi site.
Do you see ANY difference ?
Their posts are living evidence that both of them are racist.
SF-indy site is actually paid a salary by the wealthy and powerful
pro-palestinian lobby. (from Bin Liner's and Saudi billionairs funds).
Anti-Zionists are racist extremists, no matter how nice a face they put on to themselves when they talk to others, and to themselves in the mirror. But you don't fool others. Sorry, we don't buy into that you're
" we klansmen are the chosen people" bullshit.
Get over it already.
