The Latest News from the US, Israel and Palestine

February 08, 2012

This newsletter provides what the American public needs to learn about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
It follows the Admonitions of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson:
"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people" - John Adams - Second US President
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." Thomas Jefferson

What you miss in the daily mainstream media, you will assembled and grouped here for your easy access.

We also invite you to visit www.APPAF.org website, and send us your feedback.

Please don't forget that Palestine is as much of an American problem as it is a Palestinian and an Israeli problem.



• "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."--Thomas Jefferson
• "It doesn't require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires to people's minds."-Samuel Adams
• "There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."- John Adams
• "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." - Winston Churchill
• "The most dangerous untruths are truths moderately distorted." - George Christopher Lichtenberg

We hope that we have stimulated your interest and curiosity, and that you will continue to read this newsletter

By now, we hope that you have concluded that:

Palestine is as much an American problem, as it is an Israeli and Palestinian problem,

That this problem is made in the USA, and perpetrated and perpetuated by American local politics and foreign policy,

And that its equitable solution lies with the US Administration and through the help of the American people.
