Likud MK can’t decide: Do I support foreign interference or not?

By Ami Kaufman November 15, 2011 | Edit

OK, I’m thinking I might have to start writing a Danny Danon daily. His Facebook page is supplying me with material faster than Herman Cain dodges questions on foreign policy.

In fact, I think there’s only one question in the world that could make me pause longer than Cain does when asked about Libya (a must watch, by the way): Who’s the bigger clown – Danon or Cain? I’d have to do some serious research on that first. And I’d be sure to pause before answering.

But anyway, Danon seemed to be just a tad inconsistent today on his page. He’s a big supporter of the law that will limit donations to left wing NGOs, claiming it’s foreign money interfering in our local politics. Read carefully:

So, pretty simple, right? Danon is against interference from outside powers. OK.

But then… how do you explain him interfering in American politics just a few hours later, on the same page?

Oh well… if it’s for the good of Israel, anything’s game I guess.

h/t Facebook.

For those who care deeply about the people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, this is your opportunity to move from despair into action.

The effects of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza are still being felt: much of the Strip lies in ruins, millions remain displaced with nowhere to return to, tens of thousands have been killed, and many more are believed to be buried beneath the rubble.

In the West Bank, the Israeli army has displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians from refugee camps, while state-sponsored settler violence is wiping rural communities off the map on a weekly basis. At the same time, Israel’s ever-escalating regional aggression threatens to drag the entire Middle East into the inferno.

We are here on the ground — from Gaza to Tel Aviv to Masafer Yatta — exposing the crimes, reporting the horrors, and amplifying the voices of those resisting injustice to an audience of millions around the world. If there was ever a time the world needed +972 Magazine, it is now.

As a binational team based in Israel-Palestine, we are best placed to cover this pivotal moment in a way that no other outlet can — but we need your help to do it. Join us as a member to become part of our mission, and support independent journalism that really makes a difference.
