Sick Gazans wait at Egyptian border. Reuters Video

Talk about bad publicity. The sick and wounded lie helpless. According to Reuters, it is at Israel’s request. There is a later report that only 200 people were allowed through, then there was violence due to the slow pace. Egyptian police injured in Gaza border clash . What does Israel gain through all this bad publicity which it is responsible for? . And the Israelis say, ‘noone will help us when we are in trouble’, with publicity like this, I guess they are right.

Reuters Video: Israel opens crossing, Palestinians storm Egyptian border

If you ask someone in the news business in Israel what it is like. They are likely to answer: it is always the same drumbeat. There is no variety. Year in, Year out. more about “Reuters Video: Israel opens crossing,…“, posted with vodpod       Jul 2 - As Israel opens Gaza border crossing, Palestinians attempt to breach Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, clash with Egyptian forces. Israel opened the Gaza crossings for the shipment of supplies, including cement for the first time in a year, after Gaza militants halted rocket attacks on southern Israel. At the same time clashes erupted at the Rafah crossing into Egypt as Palestinians hurled stones at the Egyptian security forces positioned on the other side of the crossing and tried to force their way through. Egyptian forces used water cannon on the crowds. Penny Tweedie reports. http://uk.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=85713

Hizbollah demanding Palestinians released in prisoner swap

Haaretz is reporting that Israel will likely be including Palestinian prisoners in its exchange with Hizbollah. Until recently Israel always tried to keep its enemies apart. Witness the seperate peace deals with Egypt and Jordan. But now Hizbollah have punctured that balloon. It also seems to confirm that Hizbollah attacked in 2006 out of support for the Palestinians, as opposed to its own agenda, Israel had been pummeling the Gaza strip for about a month earlier. And while I have never seen it publicised it would seem to suggest a united armed front is in support of the Palestinians. Or put another way, if Israel attacked Gaza, might it expect retaliation from Hizbollah. Being the nieve soul I am, I don’t understand why Res 242 does not promise peace for everyone. Had the War on Terror not rebounded then maybe Israel wouldn’t feel so vulnerable. But the War on terror has crippled the Bush Administration. And united its enemies. And if it has done so in the South, why not vis-a-vis Hezbollah as well? After all, the prime minister boasted to Nasrallah that the kidnapping of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser was one kidnapping too many. But with such demonstrations of fortitude on the part of both the government and the citizens, is it any wonder that on the verge of completing the deal, Nasrallah added Palestinian terrorists to the list of those to be released? Haaretz

Gloom & Doom an unnecessary NeoCon hell

An open letter to all Israelis (& their sympathizers) over 40. Why over 40? By then the reality of spin & lies by the media has become apparent. Before the 40’s principles and convictions may be strong. But there is no understanding of the strength of an enemy. For those that are over 40 and still identify with principles and no understanding of the adversaries strength, then you are the Jews greatest enemy. You speak with the hubris to conquer. With the logic that some sacrifice is required to achieve the greater goal ( of biblical truth ). And what keeps you afloat is an ability to subdue the weak, whether they be Palestinians, Iraqis or your own independent thinkers. Incidentally the overwhelming military advantage you have had vis a vis the Palestinians, Iraqis and Afghans proves nothing, least of all your ability to wage war on an equal. And the independent thinkers can be routed by framing and deciept, this is what you have been reduced to. Your ideals are based on a belief that spirituality is ethnic. That you are continuing a long line of ancestry. And for this it is necessary for everyone to sacrifice. But you can only control through interference in a person’s private life, and this art you have perfected. Is it from the bible? A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest. Well everyday less and less people are reading the mainstream media. The big question remains, are you going to make the peace, or end the days in a glorious fireball. For all the attention you give to making a dissidents life impossible, there are good chances you’ll be able to eliminate them all. And just in time, just when the buttons are being pressed. Or you yourselves could ask to what end is your personal and collective energies leading. Is there no way to negotiate a withdrawal from the ever expansionist neocon direction. God helps those that help themselves. God is not going to help anyone wielding a big stick. And you use your pseudo liberalism to further your aims, by the use of Gays and people of mixed ethnic origin. What about considering less control? You’ve had more control than the earth has ever witnessed before, and all that lies before us, is a collective sense of unfolding gloom and doom. Even the economic system is proving untenable. And the world is holistic, and the whole logic is up for questioning. And if you question it: Spirituality, Ethnicity, Financial systems, then maybe you’ll find a solution. Today right living has become, showing allegiance and doing the ritual. Nothing more nothing less. Just punishing those that don’t. The nightmare that is the NeoCons. Continue eavesdropping and interfering, after all it is for your ancestors that you do it! And enjoy all the ’stitching up’ that is your daily fare.

Times: Israeli ’suicide cop’: family refute claims that he killed himself

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article4209639.ece

Israeli ’suicide cop’: family refute claims that he killed himself My best guess is that he was shot, some commenters state there were reports of multiple shots. In the world of VIP security, if ones loyalties were compromised, assassination would be the preferred punishment. Possibly he was against Olmert or Peres, who knows? Security would have let the whole saga unfold with the music playing as it was. We are unlikely to ever know the truth. Or he had shown intent to enact a guilty choice. A fictitious coup? If security want to find out what you are made of, they have ways and means. So I am saying, entrapment, setup, foreknowledge of his activities etc. In an era of McCarthyism it is all very dangerous. Maybe he knew too much?

Apart from the Times article above, there are also commenters who start wondering what really happened in the following article:

H/T whatreallyhappened

Iranians in Israeli prison for 25 years

The Israeli peace statement with everyone. An addition to Avnery’s ‘An apology’

Some additions for Avnery’s ‘An Apology’. The idea to do this is really from Critique of Avnery s Apology  by Henry Lowi This I realize would need to be rewritten: To the Lebanese we say: We are releasing all Lebanese prisoners. The shebaa farms you can have. We’d love to buy some of your water. And all Lebanese are welcome to visit Israeel without a visa, yes even Nasrallah. Now we also have a lot of excess cement which you are welcome to have for free for rebuilding, and we’d like to help locate the cluster bombs. Now to Syria: please, here, take all the Golan heights, maybe some of the settlers would like to stay under Syrian jurisdiction, that is up to them. We’d like to buy some of your oil! And Syrians are welcome without a Visa, maybe we can do some student exchanges. Now to Iran, your Nuclear issues are no longer a pivotal concern for Israel. We want to make an unconditional peace with you. And we are frankly exhausted from hating you, and formenting more of it. And yes we’d like to buy some of your oil. And visas will be available online. And that’s it, end of wars. Iran will help America go home from Iraq at least. Rumor was there were some sad faces in DC.

To be Jewish and not show pride in the Jews is treasonous.

To be Jewish and not show pride in the Jews is tantamount to treasonous behaviour. An American (or Britisher) can say they are embarrassed to say they are an American (or British). A Christian could say it is meaningless. Neither of these statements would ruffle a feather. But with a ‘he is’ or ’she is’ a Jew an instinct is awakened. Now we have had a Jewish Vice president, early on Jews were proud of this and would be happy to champion the fact. But now with no popularity or likable plans, Jews would be hesitant to wave his flag. Herein is a lesson, to voice pride as an impulse and not with reason might be a mistake. There certainly is a comraderie on the strength of the pride. And it has proved to be powerful. Maybe too powerful. That is a peculiar problem. The myth of the superman israeli soldier was intentionally debunked more than a decade ago. What about the myth of what’s good for one Jew is good for all Jews?

IsraelNews: Ilan Pappe: I am not a traitor (an Israeli harrassed)

This is just the first paragraph, the link below will go to the full article. It is the fact of being harrassed that made me post the link to his web site. Because there is not widespread dissidence in Israel, might be out of fear of harrassment. Last summer, the Pappe family packed its belongings, rented out its spacious house in Israel and moved to Britain. Ever since his support of an academic boycott on Israel’s universities became public, historian Ilan Pappe, 54, has felt like public enemy number one. Pappe says he had received death threats by phone almost on a daily basis. http://ilanpappe.com/?p=60#more-60 Afterthought; Ilan teaching in the UK is good for Israel vis-a-vis the threatened UK academic boycott.

MONDOWEISS: ‘Overcoming Zionism’ Leads to Overcoming First Amendment

June 19, 2008 …The University of Michigan Press’s decision to stop distributing books by Pluto Press, a leftwing British publisher whose big offense was publishing Overcoming Zionism, by Joel Kovel. What is there to say other than that it’s tragic? Kovel is for a one-state solution. http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/ With many comments Pluto Press: – A call to transform Israel into a secular democracy by a leading writer – ‘This book is absolutely fundamental for those who reject the unfortunate confusion between Jews, Judaism, Zionism and the State of Israel — a confusion which is the basis for systematic manipulation by the imperialist power system. It convincingly argues in favour of a single secular state for Israelis and Palestinians as the only democratic solution for the region.’ Samir Amin, director of the Third World Forum ‘Joel Kovel’s uncompromising criticism of Zionism is rooted in a very deep feeling of empathy and solidarity with his fellow-Jews caught in the death-trap of the Zionist adventure. The way out Kovel is suggesting - a bi-national Israeli-Palestinian state - may be challenged, but definitely not ignored.’

If Iran is attacked, what can it do?

If Iran is attacked, what can it do? It could down every sea going vessel within a few hundred miles. It has sunburn missiles to which NATO admits there is no defense. They did have a range of 250 kilometres, either landbased or airborne launched. And their range may have been extended. This is the type of missile that Hizbollah successfully used on the Israeli navy in 2006. Iran would be obliged to destroy US (and UK & French?) bases nearby. Iraq Bahrain Turkey Oman (and many others). And Iran most most probably does have more than a million missiles. Dependency on Syria could not be taken for certain, but at this time it is most likely that Syria would assist in attacking Israel, and of course Hizbollah would assist. It has been written that Iran purchased ICBM’s from Ukraine (5 or more). Iran has launched its own satellite. Which means it has rocket technology. And western intelligence speak of 600 hundred kilometres of tunnels. Iran will without doubt see the source of its adversarial problem as Israel, and will surely strike Israel. Now what does the US (and Israel) have? The US has failed in all attempts at warfare. It has rarely faced an organised Army, anyway not without bleeding it dry for ten years with sanctions. Israel did fight an effective war in 73. That was 35 years ago…. There are still thousands of Russians in Iran, assisting in the development of Nuclear power. Russia is firmly allied with Iran, even though it has supported non violent UN resolutions. And China’s trade with Iran is also huge. If we are depending for advice on the Israelis, who are reputed to be the most clever and valiant fighters, and who got is so completely wrong two years ago in Lebanon. And who have supported the US’ wars. What will happen with Iran? It will all go wrong like everything else under Bush II has. The moral to the story: the Zionist fervour was functional and successful until they got too much power. Presumably Iran has particularly good intelligence gathering in the countries near it and will know when the US is priming its missile launchers. And what do the clever Israelis, and Anglo Saxons do? They work for defence, instead of inventing ways of helping people and thereby enriching their nations, they are consumed by considering ways of killing and distracting those that might have noble aspirations.

In the end the Jewish empire will collapse.

Could the Jews stop the wars & the destruction of the planet? Yes at the drop of a hat they could. The ones at the top have the brains and the power. Perhaps they are worried about their own necks, meaning stopping the wars would be an admission of guilt. This unabashed craving for hegemony, to conquer others will be the undoing. Underneath the faulty hubris must be a messianic call. In the end the Jewish empire will collapse. Because they couldn’t care less about lives. And they couldn’t care less about an individuals liberty. And that includes other Jews and Israelis. So much blood, for what? And all signs from Tel-Aviv and Washington are for ‘more of the same. The Universe will teach the NeoCons that they are humans too. Even if they thought they were chosen. For the time being they will listen to noone, even though it is obvious the entire world (except for chosen mercenaries and the totally corrupted) is opposed to the White House policies.

Why isn’t Israel making a peace agreement? Because of security!

Why isn’t Israel making a peace agreement? Because security has not said the time is right, they still see threats to the security of Israel. Well maybe they can’t see the wood for the trees, especially with all the intelligence gathering. The Israelis are buried in information. In the future there could be a sense of a missed opportunity. In the year of 2008 what were they doing? They were talking about talking about peace. With no attempt to alleviate the daily suffering. In the end there was more war, because security was not satisfied. With faulty policies, security will never be satisfied. Even with a whole nation of policemen eavesdropping and following and surveilling all perceived threats. The only security solution is to have a guard at every public place, and to listen in on everyone in the world. Or change tack, compromise, seems to me more attractive than war and every one being a policeman. I think there has been some kind of earthquake at the very top, perhaps in the intelligence agencies, and the Pentagon. As if a lot has been decided in advance, like: Diminished NeoCon/Zionist influence. The US will not start a war with Iran. Of course agreements can change and can be broken. These are just some of the newsitems that made me wonder: McCellan paved the way for Bush to accept guilt. An Israeli in the US charged with espionage he did decades ago. Top USAF personel replaced. Israeli in S. Africa says she was spying. And it would seem that Bush’s visit to the UK is highlighting Britains desire to leave Iraq. Amidst the vaccuous Bush presidency Israel cannot find its center, it doesn’t know how to deapartheid its policies. Nor how to cope with seeming dethronement (some will say it is only seeming). To repeat this Blogs theme: The internet has rapidly altered the worlds consciousness, this trend will strengthen. …If you can’t beat em join them… Anyway this weeks subject of Uri Avnery’s weekly piece is: An Apology, he writes a script for a Prime Minister to say to the Israeli parliament: On behalf of the State of Israel and all its citizens, I address today the sons and daughters of the Palestinian people, wherever they are. We recognize the fact that we have committed against you a historic injustice, and we humbly ask your forgiveness. [...] We shall evacuate the Israeli settlements, which have caused so much suffering and iniquities to you, and bring the settlers home, Read it all here: An Apology

Israeli army takes Arab man & his recently married Jewish wife

I suspect she is in a lot of trouble, from her own kind.

Dear Zionists, Do not be depressed!

Think of: the communists after the Soviet Union fell. then when the hippies discovered Ronald Reagan. when the church suffered losses after the second world war, many of the churches are now cinemas and Bingo halls. when the Argentinians lost their economy. And they all got over it. I don’t imagine nor suggest anyone should give up their belief system. We all know how precious they are. The Israeli Ambassador says Britain is a “hotbed for radical anti-Israeli views”. Yes a fall from grace has occurred. Combine bad policies (Iraq, Palestinians and Lebanese) with the internet, and all sympathy evaporates. Come and join the humanity club. In Israel there is some introspection. To the Cabal there is none. And to the vast majority of people in the world there is a sense of ‘enough is enough’. The Hubris created from lording over the Palestinians has nurtured an empire. It is the internet that has undone the sympathy for it. It has not made people think differently. Just awakened what was inside. This does not mean they are a load of anti semites, just that it is human to empathise with the underdog. Being ‘human’ comes before race, religion and culture, for most people. If an acceptance of that term ‘human’ could be applied to Israel or Zionism, everything would be okay. But the way the religion’s influence has evolved means people think their spirituality is combined with race and genetics. And the media czars who shape public opinion and are beholden to the special interests, aren’t interested in anything except nurturing patriotism and nationalism. Without these fundamentals, a person is subject to 24 hour harrassment. And it all seems legal. Fascism means sacrifycing one’s private life for the nation.

Crimes and Corruptions: Gaza’s imminent Explosion

Dear Vanunu

There is a letter from you circulating on the alternative internet press, asking for support in your legal bid to live in Norway. I wish you well in your efforts, not because I support what you did, just because you are a fellow suffering human. Whether you revealed nuclear secrets to the London Times for financial profit or not, I have no idea, very likely is the possibility that you in fact never agreed to any payment or were a part of an entrapment. We are all, after all a victim to what is orchestrated news. But this is not why I write. The sobering news is when and if you are allowed to live abroad, do not expect freedom, instead expect 24 hour surveillance, this will no doubt be more motivated by revenge than justice. Do not expect to ever share a spontanious meeting again. There will be a phone call or some other interference. You will never again be allowed to confide in another. The truth these days is irrelevant. Expect that if you sit down for a coffee or a rest, that an 8 or 9 year old girl will come to your company. Clearly after many of these experiences being photographed, it will be clear you are a sex pervert. It will be grown men (behind the scenes) who will manipulate your life so that you can continue a form of solitary confinement outside in the free world. These grown men could have been artists and creators and inventors, instead they have been dealt cards that say they must interfere in peoples private lives, in order to uphold their belief in God, Nation and belief system. Should you become rebellious and wish to enjoy your freedom, you will discover that you can trust no one, and every encounter turns into a betrayal. This I guess is a life sentence. Mail, Internet, telephone is as controlled as I imagine it is in prison. This post is a little negative, wish you well in a new life, time in solitary is the worst of punishments. Letting you go would give a little of a human face to israel.

Barak incredulous that Hezbollah fortifying

Barak yesterday stated that Hizbollah are fortifying their positions. Actually every armed force in the world is fortifying their positions. Baraks incredulity is a bad omen for Israel. Hamas is also fortifying, and the US is fortifying the PA. So let us try and understand what he is saying: Everyone hate this out of control enemy. Or it is impossible for an enemy of Gods chosen people to arm themselves. Or prepare for war. Or my world has gone upside down.. It is hard to understand what he is trying to say. It is the same belief system that ordered the Israelis to go to the Litani river. And the same indomitable sense that complained the Syrians are arming Hizbollah. The answer is “Get real”. Or forget about the childhood triumphs.

Israel one state solution: allow Christians to immigrate

There is a debate going on about whether the solution for Israel is a one or two state solution. Both Avnery and Olmert (just a few days ago) have said this. One state might mean not having to withdraw the settlements. This is what Rabin Peres were doing 15 years ago. But with the clear realisation that the majority population would soon be Arab, something would need to be done to insure an ethnic western majority (or as in the South African situation, the colonisers remain in charge of business). Allowing non Jews to immigrate is an option, it would also be a way for Israel to say thank you to its US non Jewish friends that have been loyal. There is a risk of Israel and the US going in different directions anyway. Think of it like when the US left Vietnam or Iran, natives that were loyal to the US also went to the US. so now those that were loyal to Israel would also be allowed to immigrate to Israel. It would take care of the demography problem (too many Arabs) It would cater to so-called Christian Zionists, it would revitalize the empty immigration to Israel. Finally it would prevent a massive anti Israeli backlash from the recession headed US. Because there would be so many US citizens in Israel too. With regard to allowing non Jews: How many of Israels population is anyway assimilated. Even if they think they are not. Put them next to a Lubavitcher and they look assimilated. This would also prevent Israel being hijacked by the large Russian community, which in the absence of US support is a possibility. If such a radical rethink is going on, we could also get some pleasant surprises in the way of social and family law reforms.

Time for rescue, time for Carter

Carter was just the only one to present, there wasn’t any alternative. When it became clear the white house was but a lot of banditos, and that they don’t have a clue. The only ‘elder’ to offer sanity was Carter. Whatever he is doing is measured, he is not trying to scupper anything, just to do some healing. When he mentions Israel’s arsenal, it is with intention (either to calm them, or to bring them to the negotiating table). Let’s be grateful for Carter’s presence. We at least know he wants peace.

Is your support for the Palestinians to make you feel good?

Jews have their constraints, how Liberal can they be, and get away with it. The more successful they are professionally, the more likely they can voice an opinion. If they have an independent income, like an artist does for example. The Zionist/Jewish system is very hierarchical and can be severe. If a person is not so talented as to pick an individualistic career, then he or she is very dependent on others, their boss and colleagues. In the tight knit world of trickle down capitalism, there is a lot of room for financial reward and punishment. Most people on a clear night under the stars with no noise would see the glaring injustices being done in the name of the Jews. But on the inside, it is tyrannical, and the fervour of loving God is also in the nation building. To summarise: risk losing your job and income if you support Palestinian liberation. What follows are a couple of extracts about what constitutes “support” from a Jew. Solidarity from “Pro-Palestinian” Jews Revisited by Ibrahim Alloush The question remains, however, what actually constitutes support for the Palestinian cause: sympathy with the victimization of Palestinians, like one would sympathize with road kills for example, conscious political support for a platform for liberation, or something in between? [...] Nevertheless, not everyone who claims to support us is actually a supporter. Many such supporters actually oppose some of the most crucial things we stand for, except they dislike some of the human rights violations that the Zionists are visiting upon us. That is, they: 1) recognize the right of “Israel” to exist and the alleged right of Jews to settle in Palestine, 2) they oppose our strategy to liberate Palestine, and 3) they especially oppose the armed struggle of Palestinian organizations. Such ’supporters’ are not actually supporting us, but simply trying to make themselves feel better.. The next extract really captures the flavour of the Jewish empire, and really it also exists in the diaspora, it is the surreptitious pressure applied to a Jew. A Jew is as likely to feel as mentally imprisoned as a Palestinian. Constantly guilt tripped, at least about not exclaiming enough pride in Judaism, or else you are a “self hating Jew”, and that is the same thing that the authour is saying here: Frequently Palestinians are set up in a guilt trip. They have to prove that they do not hate Jews. The proving really never ends until you eventually embrace the doctrine of “Israel’s” security.
