Some Thoughts on the Wall Street Protest
Is it kosher to talk about Israel at the Wall Street protest? Or is Israel once again, as it always seems to be, off-limits for discussion? So far I've not seen any of the Wall Street protesters mention Israel or the power of its lobby in Washington.

Below is a report from Press TV. You'll see protesters talking about corporate greed, police repression—worthy topics for discussion, to be sure—but no mention of Israel or AIPAC.
