Some anti-Zionists seem to think having Neturei Karta on their side inoculates them against charges of anti-Semitism. Hopefully, after the latest incident at Israel's Holocaust museum, they are disabused of such illusions.

Arab-Colombian pop diva Shakira, who courageously protested Israel's Lebanon aggression in 2006, now served as a "goodwill ambassador" at the Israeli President's Conference—in defiance of an appeal by sanctions advocates. 

Shakira, the Colombian pop diva (of Lebanese descent), spoke courageously against Israel's 2006 aggression in the land of her forebears, calling on "the leaders of the US and of the world's great powers to stop this war, since we all know they could stop it.
