Whats so hard to understand? This is how regimes change in the Arab world. This has happened in:
Syria - Bashars father seized power in the seventies.
Iraq - Aide from now, Sadddam overthrew mentor and executed his rivals
Saudi Arabia - Attempted regime change was the killing of King Faisal in 1975
Egypt - The public killing of Anwar Sadat by Islamists for the crime of bringing peace.
Sudan- Numerous coups never mind the genocides in Darfar and in the South.
Yemen - Numerous coups
Libya - Ghaddaffy's overthrow of the native king
Algeria - Numerous coups never mind the massacres after the Islamist election vitory was overthrown
Lebanon- 1975-1990 Civil war plus the recent killings of anti-Syrian politicians. Never mind the recent Palestiniabn Arabs attacks on the gov't.
Why? Thats the culture. Its a tribal culture of violence. Islam does
a lousy job of bringing peace. Its time to drop it!

Ten Reasons why "Israeli" Jews are Kosher Targets - Response
Ten Reasons why "Israeli" Jews are Kosher Targets
1. They are occupying by force land which doesn't belong to them.
To the spoils belong the victor. Even so Arabs doen the line have been unable or refused to trade land for peace. This has gone on now for 40 years.
2. They have ethnically cleansed the Palestinians from that
Ethnically cleansed people do not increase in number, they decrease. See Holocaust.
3. After more than fifty years, they still refuse to let the
Palestinians
return to their land and property.
When those Arab Palestinians left the theatre of war at the behest of 5 Arab Armies they declared themselves allied with those armies. They became hostile agents. Considering their support for the last intifada they will never be admitted back. You do not ask people who tried to kill you to move in next door.
They deserve compensation. They want compensation. Ask Hamas why they reuse this.
4. They are objectively part of an imperialist colonial base in the
heart of the Arab World
Israelis are a secular enclave in a hostile Muslim Arab world. A world of supremacist racist beliefs that consists of Egypt, Jordan, Syra, Suadi Arabia , Syria etc.
In addition Israel was founded with little support from colonial powers. In fact a British general commanded Jordans armies.
Israel got aid from the Czechslovakia for example.
5. They continue to kill and oppress the Palestinians daily
If anyone kills and oppresses Arabs its Arabs. Look at Gaza. Israel activities towards eliminating terrorists results in gunfights. Disarming your enemy is NOT oppressing them.
6. They must understand somehow that Palestinian blood is not cheap
Arabs killing Arabs certainly make them look cheap to themselves
7. They have been using the so-called peace process to
consolidate their gains on the ground. 95 more colonies were built
since the Oslo Agreement in 1993, not to mention bypass roads, in
the West Bank
Life has to go on. We can't wait forever for Palestinian Arabs to get their act together and and fumbling, stumbling, killing each other and killing Israelis,
8. They can lend the Palestinians some Cobras and F-16's if they
don't like human bombs and rocks
Weapons given to Palestinian Arabs in the Oslo agreement were used to kill Israeli civilians in 2002.
9. They have managed to convince the U.S. government and
media that killing "Isreali" Jews is terrorism whereas the
point-blank killings of Palestinian children and the assassinations
of
Palestinian freedom fighters are just 'mutual violence' and
'conflicting heritage claims'. Reality Check!
Assassinating your eenemy before he kills civilians is called self defense. The Palestinian Arab terrorists live among fellow Arabs in an attempt to discourage IDF counter-terrorism. So its expected that some firefights involve deaths of children. Thats the Reality Check
10. They can always choose to LEAVE if they don't like the few
methods left to the Palestinians to liberate their land
No the Israelis chose to build a wall and isolate themselves from Palestinian Arabs--proxy soldiers of Islam
Note: This is not some 'extremist' position. Palestinian and Arab
opinion polls, for example, indicated in the past
that support for the human bombs tactic runs upwards of ninety
percent on the Arab street. Indeed, such human bombs are not
only justified. Much more of them is needed with the world behind
it to rid of white zionists out! of palestine
Here Zionists are portrayed as white, when half of all Israelis are as dark as their Arab neighbors having come from Arab countries themselves. Its an effort to make Israelis look like colonialists, which they are not. In facts Jews originated in the area as the Romans genocided the Judean population in the year 70. The Jews are back. Its the Arabs who invaded in 642 who are more easily classified as colonialists.

10 Questions For Israeli Zionists- Response
Question No. 1: Why do Zionists insist on confusing Zionism with Judaism? Not all Zionists are Jewish, and not all Jews are Zionists. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Tony Blair, John Negroponte, Bill & Hillary Clinton, and John Bolton - to name but a few very powerful pro-Israeli Zionists - are clearly NOT Jewish. At the same time, writers like Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Juan Gelman, Israel Shamir, the Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum group (see www.jewsagainstzionism.com) and the editors of the New York left-wing Jewish journal 'Forward' are all Jewish, and yet strongly opposed to Zionism.... ADDENDUM: These 'Zionists' who are not Jewish are pro-Zionist of Neo-Conservative Fascist variety. Israel Shamir is a Swedish white supremacist who has posed for a decade as a anti-Zionist Jew. His name is really Jermad Joran. Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum does not believe in political Zionism but he does believe in religious Zionism. And the editors of the Forward though highly critical of Israel support its existence. Naom Chomsky in a televised debate with Alan Dershowitz showed while he is an expert on language and has revealed much on fascistoc tendencies in American govderment was woefully inadequate in regard to his knowledge on Israel. This also occurred in a debate between Norman Finklestein and Dershowitz. Question No. 2: Why do Zionists purposefully seek to harm Jewish communities in the Diaspora? As an Argentine citizen, I am concerned about the fact that Zionists and Israelis confuse Zionism with Judaism on purpose, because this can potentially lead to very negative and unjust reactions on the part of vast population sectors the world over who, ignoring this key differentiation between Zionists and Jews, might end up blaming all Jews for the carnage, injustice and genocide being perpetrated by some militant Zionist Jews in Israel and elsewhere. In Argentina, we are particularly concerned over how this can be detrimental to the peaceful Jewish community residing in our country. To accuse any person critical of Israel and Zionism of being an 'Anti-semite' is ludicrous and tantamount to intellectual terrorism because in that way any chance of holding a free and open debate on these complex issues is thwarted and silenced. We urgently need to understand that the way the State of Israel was created over half a century ago bore the seeds of todays increasingly violent conflicts in the Middle East. We need to base our views and opinions on Historical Truth, and not on propaganda and myth. We need to understand what are the true objectives of International Zionism in the whole world, as well as in Argentina and in our region. In fact, it would have a very moralizing effect in Argentina and other countries, if local Jewish community associations and leaders would adopt an inequivocal public stance condemning the barbaric attacks that Israel is carrying out against Palestine and Lebanon. ADDENDUM:I feel that this is too opinionated to be represenative of the Diaspora jews. Probably bogus. Now Zionism is NOT a monolithic belief. It simply states that Jews have the right to live in Israel. Not to fight Arabs. Not to expell Arabs. Islamists Arabs and their white supremacist allies would have you believe that all Zionism is exclusive so as to dismiss any discussion of Zionism and its acceptance in ANY FORM! There are many versions of Zionism. Religious, Political and its subform Socialistic. Zionism doesnot preclude any criticism of Zionism, Israel or Isreali policies. You can be a member of the Peace Now movement in Israel AND STILL BE ZIONISTIC. The aims of various Israeli administrations have been in a plethora of forms over the 58 years. Zionism is not Nazism. Nazism was a poltical dictadorship over all peoples within Germany. Israel is a republic in the British style. Israel has fought a protracted war with Palestinian Arabs and their allies other Arab states and cabals for 86 years including 58 as a state. In this war it has oppressed many of the Palestinian Arab people. But unfortunately it is war, Thats what happens when these Palestinian Arabs support terrror such as rockets and previously suicide bombings. Not all Diaspora Jews support Israel. But as long as you believe in the Torah/Talmud you believe in Zionism. Accusing any criticism of anti-semitism is wrong, but its currently used as a cover in many cases, of not Israel hate but Jew hate. There is no International Zionism. Here its used as a sunstitute for International Communism. When we have to fear International Globalism. Thats real. Israel's existence has not caused all the violent activity in the Middle East. Israel has been around since 1948 yet this activity is fairly new as Islamic culure is perceived as being erroded by Western materialistic values and even the presence of Westeners in a manifest destiny/sacred/racist pure Islamic view of the Middle East. As was when Ossama demanded Us troops leave the sacred land of Saud's Arabia. In this case the terrorists won as US troops went over to Iraq. Iraq has little to do with Israel. They are separated by thousands of miles. Israel latest enemies have been Hezbollah, Syria and faroff fundamentalist Shiiite Iran. Saddam Hussein did support suicide bombings with money, but that was a minor irritant anf of course the Israelis did support an overthrow of Iraq. But the main gist of Iraq has been its status as the second largest oil field and undeveloped at that!!! Petroleum is expensive and this amount is worth trillions to the Neo-Com Globalists plus its worth its weight in the power from vast sums of money. As for Lebanon, Israel did not carry out an unusually barbaric war. For that read about the Iraqi war. Much more barbaric. Israel used intelliegence to warn residents of ammo caches and then bomb them. There are no magic viewscreens to target women and children from Israeli HQ or bomber pilot sights. The outcry is pure Hezbollah PR. very good PR at that. It successfully covered up previous militant inages of the Hezbollah. Question No. 3: Why do Zionists insist on accusing anyone critical of Israel and Zionism of 'Antisemitism'? To even speak of 'Antisemitism' in this day and age is absurd and downright hypocritical. 'Semitic' is a linguistic category originally coined and used by such19th Century intellectuals as Wilhelm Marr in Germany, and French philosophers Eduard Renán and Count Arthur de Gobineau who contrasted 'Semites' with 'Aryans'. Do Zionists now also want us all to start talking about 'Aryans'? One can hardly believe that such stupidity can still be seriously voiced in the 21st Century!! If Zionists insist on talking about 'Antisemitism', then they should be reminded that the Arab Nations are also 'Semitic', as they too descende from Shem, the eldest son of Biblical Noah... Clearly, if Zionists insist on ranting about 'the scourge of Antisemitism', then they should understand that today's real 'Antisemitism' is the bloody persecution of Palestinians, Iraquis and Lebanese (for the most part, 'Semites') at the hands of the genocidal invading forces of the United States, Great Britain and Israel, most of whose top leaders are clearly 'Aryans': Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Benjamín Netanyaju, George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Dick Cheney, to name but a few, are clearly of 'Aryan' stock as they bear no resemblance whatsoever to the poor and suffering 'Semites'.... ADDENDUM; Wording like the above makes me wonder about the authenticity of this article as written by an Argentine Jew. It would not be the first time that a white supremacist wrote as if he/she was a Jew. Admittedly anti-semitism is a clumsey word as Arabs who are among the worlds greatest Jew haters are Semites in terms of their language groups. Semitic as a race group is an archaic classification dropped decades ago as a result of Hitlers race classifications being used as reasons to kill European ethnic groups. I prefer Jew hate, myself. But anti-semitism's usage is far from stupid. Indeed the bloody persecutions of Iraqis by American and British of Anglo Saxon descent is something to consider. But Aryan is not a scientific race classification any more than Semtic. Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Benjamín Netanyahu are not Aryan nor Semitic as in race since those terms are anachrinistic! Archaic. They are Israeli Jewish leaders defending the state against Lebanses Hezbollah and Palestinian Arab attack. The sneaky grouping of Israelis with Anglo Saxons again makes me supect white supremacist/islamist origin Question No. 4: Why do Zionists martyrize Gaza and the Palestinians? In 1989, the world freed itself of the shameful Berlin Wall. A few short years later, the State of Isrel replaced it with the even more shameful Gaza Wall, hundreds of kilometers long and 8 meters high, with its military check points, barbed-wire fences and heavily armed soldiers firing at civilians and constantly humiliating the Palestinian people. Israel has turned the Gaza Strip into a massive concentration camp housing half a million civilians living imprisoned with little or no water, sewage, electricity, jobs, schools or hospitals. They lie defenseless before their Zionist captors. Clearly, Israeli leaders have learned much from Auschwitz and the Warsaw Ghetto... ADDENDUM: Comparing Israelis with Nazis is a white supremacist/islamist turnspeak tactic. The Gaza wall has nothing to do with German Nazi concentration camps in design or purpose. Gazi is hundreds of miles bigger than Auschwitz lets say. Whereas Auschwitz was liquidation /labour center, Gaza is a refugee camp erected by the Egyptian government after 1949. It was conquered in 1956 as a terror base for egyptian funded raiders. And later taken over by Israelis after 1967 along with the sinai. When the Sinai was returned,to Egypt in 1982 Egypt would not take back Gaza. So Gaza is in limbo as a Hamas entity. Not a state yet not recognizing Israel has put it in a precarious position. But i does have water, sewage, electricity, jobs, schools or hospitals but since Israel is at war with Hamas, these services are hampered. But So any association to German Nazi concentration camps is nil and a PR move. Question No. 5: Do the Israelis really expect the Palestinians and Lebanese not to somehow defend themselves against their attacks? Only Sovereign Nation-States can have regular and legal Armed forces (e.g., Israel, the United States, Great Britain and Argentina, to name a few). Palestine, however, is not allowed to have a Sovereign Nation-State, so Palestinians have no option but to support irregular insurgent armed forces like Hamas to retaliate against Israel. After years of invasion and occupation by Israel and other nations, Lebanon has not been given the chance of building a Sovereign Nation-State, so the Lebanese have no defense option but to support the irregular insurgent Hezbollah militias. Surely both Hamas and Hezbollah receive arms and support from Syria and Iran... Doesn't Israel received enormous support and arms from the United States of America? Isn't Israel the sole nuclear power possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East, thanks to the apporoximately 400 atomic bombs the United States generously ceded to them? In fact, seeing Israel's current behaviour of running amok in the region, the key question we should be asking is: can Israel be trusted with this extremely powerful and deadly nuclear arsenal? Shouldn't the international community be disarming Israel as a way of promoting world peace? The Palestinian and Lebanese peoples have the RIGHT to self-defense against State Terrorism being waged against them by Israel. In their desperate predicament, one can understand them doing whatever they can to defend themselves and for many increasingly desperate Palestinians and Lebanese, this includes supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. Let's be honest: if Hamas and Hezbollah were to disappear overnight, what solution does Israel and the United States have for peace in the Middle East? Consistently, they have shown that they have none, because peace is neither a US or Israeli objective, nor is it in the wider geopolitical interests of both countries. On the issue of Terrorism, the United States, Britain and Israel branded Hamas and Heznollah as 'terrorist organizations'. We should, however, remember that the Israeli Defense Forces (i.e., the Israeli Army) arose from the merger in 1948 of four key Zionist terrorist organizations: Hagganah, Stern Gang, Irgun, and Zvai Leumi. Those terrorist groups were responsible for literally thousands of assassinations, both before and after the creation of the State of Israel, which included the massacre of civilians in the village of Deir Yassin which led to the expulsion of millions of Palestinians in 1948; the assassination also in 1948 of UN Mediator for Palestine Count Folke de Bernadotte (organized by the Stern Gang guerrilla group led by Ytzakh Shamir, later primer minister of Israel); and the terrorist bomb attack in 1947 against the King David Hotel in Jerusalem which housed the British Military High Command (carried out by the guerrilla group led by Menahem Beghin, later also primer minister of Israel). This latter attack set a precedent of the terrorist methodology used in the two bomb attacks in Argentina (see Question 10 below). On the issue of 'terrorism', then, there are only two options: either all of these groups - Hamas, Hezbollah and the Israeli Army - are to be regarded as 'defense forces'; or all of them are branded as 'terrorist groups'. You cannot have your cake and eat it too... ADDENDUM:Palestine has yet to evolve nation status so there is no army. But its police force is derived from years as the guerrilla/ terror force known as the Palestiniian Liberation Organization. Lebanon indeed has an army, but has been hobbled by a 15 year civil war between Christians and Muslims that goes back to the days of the Arab conquest. In reference to Israel's atomics; it has behaved in an impeccable manner in this regard! I should add that there has never ben an account of the number of them Nor was Israel given the nukes by the US. Israel having a share of scientific personage acquired the bombe with French assistance approxiamately in 1961. unlike the USA, France, Great Britian, China, India Pakistan and the Soviet Union ir never threatened any state including the Arab enemy states with nuclear annihilation. Today Iran before it acquires this atomic knowledge has threatened Israel with destruction periodically since the 1980's. Since Israel is 13 miles wide atomics is a purely offensive weapon. State reaction against Palestinian Arab terror is historically one of Arab incitement going back before there was an Israel supervision of the West Bank & Gaza, way back before there was Israel. When the Arab offensive relaxed so did the Israeli people. But this policy was updated/changed as Israelis now persecute all Palestinian Arabs seen as a danger to Israeli civilians incessantly. The Israeli Army was founded by a merger of the Hagganah, Stern Gang, Irgun, and Zvai Leumi. The latter 3 did do acts considered terror at times against the British military preventing emigration of Holocaust survivors and the rival Arab militias. These acts were outnumbered by the vast number of PLO terror attacks from 1970 to 1993 including Entebbie, the Olympic massacre, and numerous shootings and hijackings in airports all over the Middle East and Europe. Again these acts were later outclassed by the suicide bombings by Hamas, Tanzim, Al aqsa Brigades, Islamic Jihad and PFLP groups nevermind the Palestinian Committes from 1995 to today. It has recently been revealed that the only massacre of Palestinian Arabs at Deir Yassin may have simply been a ballte between Irgun and Palestinian Arabs. And that the rival Hagganah set it up to scare Palestinian Arabs away and to defama Irgun. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Arab terror groups cannot be viewed as defensive and target civillians.... Question No. 6: Why do Zionists refuse to publicly investigate and debate the so-called 'Holocaust' in a balanced and objective manner? Today, this has become a key issue, because a proper understanding of the Holocaust will give us clear clues regarding the origin of the Middle Eastern conflict, as well as of many key events since World War Two leading to the enthronement of the 'New World Order' which our globalized society suffers today. There exists a growing revisionist movement in European and US academic circles which holds that it is yet to be convincingly demonstrated that six million Jews actually died at the hands of National Socialist Germany and Austria during World War II. Serious investigations on this complex issue are still taboo nowadays in the better part of the Western world and in some countries like France, Canada, Germany and Austria, such investigations are actually banned by law, bowing to Zionist pressure. What are they so afraid of? Could it possibly be that if a serious and objective historical investigation were to be carried out, it might be shown that the six million figure just doesn't add up? US Jewish author Norman Finkelstein, in his book 'The Holocaust Industry', published in 2002, clearly demonstrates how the 'Holocaust Myth' was invented and used by the State of Israel to rally permanent financial and political support from the United States, its key allies and aligned sectors within the Jewish Diaspora the world over. As a clue to what we are saying, for many years when Poland was under Soviet domination, the Auschwitz Museum there showed a plaque which reminded visitors that 'Four Milllion Jews' had been assasinatied there until 1945, thus fueling two-thirds of the Six Million Myth. However, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the ensuing liberation of Poland, that plaque was discreetly removed and replaced by a new one saying that '1.500.000 people ' had died there. Where are the Holocaust's Six Million then? ADDENDUM; This iswhere the Argentine authorship falls apart. Jews do not question the Holocaust. but white supremacists/islamists do! Denying the Holocaust is a pure measure of Jew Hate. Its meant to revise history that ant future Holocaust can be re-enacted. This movement has not been accepted in academic circles to any large degree. Its not Zionist pressure that has persecuted the Holocaust Denial movement in Europe, but the europeans themselves. You see besides the 6 million Jews in the European Holocaust there were 5 million non-Jews. That is why Faurisson, David Irving and Zundel are being prosecuted by Europeans for Europeans! Should David Finklestein attempt any visit to Europe he should watch out.
Question No. 7: How do Zionists explain the unconditional support that the United States of America gives International Zionism and the State of Israel? I believe that in order to comprehend what is happening today in the world we need to understand that the government of the United States of America has been commandeered [hijacked?] by the forces of International Zionism. Only then can the unconditional, permanent and unflinching US support for Israel be properly understood. Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharón eloquently reflected this when during a heated cabinet debate with Shimon Peres in late 2003 he said that he (Peres) should not worry about US reaction to Israeli aggression against the Palestininians because 'We (the Israelís) control the United States and the Americans know this very well' (cited in Israeli newspaper Ha'arezt, and also published in Argentine by Jewish writer Juan Gelman in the Buenos Aires daily 'Página 12', 04-Dec-03). This highly dangerous problem of global dimensions was recently assessed in a report published by Harvard University in March 2006, authored by University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer and the Dean of Havard's John F Kennedy School of Government, Stephen Walt describing 'The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy', (see Harvard Faculty Research Working Papers Series, RWP06-011). Both authors convincingly show the enormous political and financial influence and excessive leverage which pro-Zionist and pro-Israeli lobbies such as AIPAC - American Israeli Political Action Committee - have. So much so that they have succeeded in bending US foreign policy against the national interest of the people of the United States, in order to prioritize the national interest of a foreign country: the State of Israel. So obvious and flagrant is this key factor in US foreign policy, that even former National Security Advisor and key Trilateral Commission / Council on Foreign Relations idealogue Zbigniew Brzezinski voiced support for Measheimer and Walt, saying that they serve the public interest by pointing this problem out (see Bzezinski's article: Mearsheimer and Walt's public service initiating debate on the role of the Israel lobby: a Dangerous Exemption). We could also point to other very powerful and influential pressure groups like the World Zionist Organization, the World Jewish Congress, ADL - Anti-Defamation League (controlled by the masonic B'Nai B´Rith lodge), and the PNAC - Project for a New American Century, whose key intellectuals today serve in the Bush administration or influential upon it, and includes officials responsible for the destruction of Iraq and the unconditional US support for Israel: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, I. Lewis Libby, Paul Bremer III, Richard Armitage, Robert Zoellick, James Baker III and Elliot Abrams to name but a handful. ADDENDUM; Argentine Jews do not accuse the USA of being hijacked by Zionists. This confirms this fraud. I can now say this is of white supremacist origin. Now the Israel lobby is indeed powerful in the hall of government. But to say there is Internaional Zionism is funny. Its brings back memories of sloganeering by Ronald Reagain when he compared 'card carrying ACLU members' to previous card carrying communist party members in the 1950's. International Zionism is meant to regurgitate 'International Communism'. If Israel did actually control the US then why was there a need for Israel to spy on the US military as in the current AIPAC scandal or the Jonathan Pollard incident????? The recent Israel lobby article has been dismissed in academic circles. When you see 'controlled by the masonic B'Nai B´Rith lodge' you know a white supremacist wrote this as they fear Masons. 'Project for a New American Century, whose key intellectuals today serve in the Bush administration or influential upon it, and includes officials responsible for the destruction of Iraq and the unconditional US support for Israel: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, I. Lewis Libby, Paul Bremer III, Richard Armitage, Robert Zoellick, James Baker III and Elliot Abrams to name but a handful. ' These people are NeoCons who work for the Globalist corporate cabal that is far more powerful than the Israel lobby as it has sent us into a unwinnable war for oil resources. They may even be more powerful than the US gov't. Question No. 8: Is it good for the world to be dominated by very small minorities? In an official Israeli web site (The Jewish Agency for Israel, www.jafi.org.il) and in various sites belonging to Jewish organizations in the US (e.g., www.jewishvirtuallibrary.com), total world Jewish polulation is estimated at around 16.000.000 people (of which approximately 200.000 are said to reside in Argentina). This clearly indicates that the world's Jewish Communities are very tiny in their numbers, i.e., only 0.2% of the worlds total population estimated at 6.5 billion people (and 0.5% of Argentina's population of around 39 million). Is it not undemocratic for such small minorities to wield so much world power and leverage? So much so, that today the extremely aggresive and powerful Zionist sector of the Jewish community is dragging the entire planet to the brink of a Third World War as the London 'Financial Times' reports in its 24th July 2006 issue? ADDENDUM;There is no wielding of world power here by Zionists or Israelis or Jews. Its a perception tp create an enemy in the Jewish people, Historically Jews have been blamed for the ills of European civilization even after they were expelled from much of Europe for not converting to Christianity at the time . This blaming or scapegoating is being revived again with Jews as the global menace to disguise the real menaces, Islamic fundamenntalism and growing corporate power. The Islamic/Christian divide that dates to the invasion of the Roman Empire by Arabs in the 640's is bringing us to the 3rd world war.[/B] Question No. 9: Why do Zionists systematically lie about the cause of today's crisis in the Middle East? The tragic events in Lebanon and Palestine were allegedly triggered because Israel says that Hamas and Hezbollah 'kidnapped' three of their soldiers in Gaza and on the border with Lebanon (some reports say inside Lebanon), respectively. This is a travesty, because combat soldiers cannot be 'kidnapped'; only civilians can be kidnapped. Combat soldiers can be captured, even killed by the Enemy, but not 'kidnapped'. Nevertheless, Israel, the United States and the subservient global media financed and controlled by the very same international financial circles running today's 'New World Order', repeat time and again that those three Israeli soldiers were 'kidnapped'... An old adagio says that 'when war breaks out, the very first victim is truth...' Psychological War operations form part of the Zionist-US worldwide strategy, which includes major bomb scares and 'Anthrax-attack' scares. Even the terrible events of September 11th in the US, March 11th in Madrid and July 7th in London have yet to be properly addressed and clarified, as there is mounting evidence showing the tell-tale signs of probable 'dirty tricks' in these operations, reminiscent of the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq' scare of 2002 and 2003. Nevertheless, the aligned media and key world leaders use this to satanize the Muslim world and justify gross discrimination and aggression against the followers of Islam on a global basis. ADDENDUM: This is literally word for word from white supremacist Jew hate sites. The Hezbollah kidnapping was the straw that broke the camels with Israel. Even usually critical European nations condemned the Hezbollah action. Hamas was on a truce so they violated their own rules! Since there were no combat missions with Hezbollah and Hamas by the IDF then they were not the enemy. But these arguements are semantic.anti-semantic. (ha!) Suddenly the author states 'Psychological War operations form part of the Zionist-US worldwide strategy,' without so much as a easing into ogf the subject. This is again a charaacteristic of white supremacist writing. There is much mystery about 9/11 that has to be explained. Even some regarding 7/7 and 3/11. But 3/11 perpetrators as well as the London bombers were obviously fundamentalist Muslims. The participation of Muslims in this acts of violence is self-satanizing! Question No. 10: Argentina: Why isn't a highly plausible ISRAELI connection investigated as the prime suspect in the two bomb attacks against the Israeli Embassy (1992) and AMIA Jewish Community Association HQ (1994) in Buenos Aires? According to the prestigious New York-based Jewish Anti-Zionist journal 'Forward', the US Government has been increasingly pressing Argentina's government to deliver a (clearly false) 'Iranian connection' in respect of these two bomb attacks. The Mossad and CIA intelligence agencies together with accommodating Argentine governments have been trying for 12 and 14 years respectively to fabricate such a false so-called 'Iranian Connection', but have fully failed in their endeavours. They went so far as to have one of these cases' acting Federal Judges - Juna José Galeano - actually bribe a key suspect (Mr Telledin) with u$s 400.000 so that he would accuse the local police of having been involved, as that would have enabled them to 'trace' this back to Hizbollah, Syria and Iran. What concerns many of us in Argentina is that if president Nestor Kirchner's pro-Zionist Argentine government were to bow to such pressures, and ends up giving the US and Israel yet another 'reason' to attack Hezbollah, Syria and Iran, then our country will become directy involved in the criminal war which International Zionism is waging against the Muslim world... And the vast majority of the Argentine people definitely do not want any of this! At this stage of events, what Argentina needs is to investigate a much more plausible hypothesis involving an ISRAELI Connection in both bomb attacks which took place at a time when there was a very strong power struggle inside Israel between a more moderate sector which wanted to make the Oslo Agreements work (i.e., the Ytzakh Rabin-led Lebour Party), and right-wing fundamentalists who only believe in the sanctity of Eretz Israel to be forged by Imperial military expansion. That internal struggle culminated in Novermber 1995 when Israel's pro-peace prime minister Rabin was gunned down on the streets of Israel, NOT by a Muslim terrorist; NOT by a racist Neonazi; but rather by Yigal Amir, a young Israeli Zionist militant, closely linked to the extreme right-wing Jewish Settlers' movement and close to the Shin-Beth, Israel's internal security service. Later on, the official Shamgar Commission which investigated Rabin's assassination concluded that Shin.Beth had had a high degree of responsibility, even if only for having failed to properly protect the prime minister. With Rabin's assassination in 1995, the road was left open for a take-over of the Israeli Government by zealots like Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, and their cronies in the ultra right-wing and fundamentalist Likud and Kadima parties... We insist: The time has come to promote an open and serious debate into fundamental aspects regarding the origins of the violent conflict in the Middle East. Only when TRUTH is allowed to prevail can the bloodbath of hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the Middle East come to a halt. Because THAT is the real Holocaust that the world is suffering today; and it is happening here and now!. ADDENDUM; There is no Israeli connection to the Buenos aries bombings since investigations have linked it to Iranian sponsored Muslim sttacks. So far not one Israeli connection has even remotely been connected to to 9/11, 7/7 3/11 or 11/9 or 7/11.!!! When you see this ' the sanctity of Eretz Israel to be forged by Imperial military expansion. ' you see white supremacist authorship regarding the humorous Greater Israel concept. When Rabin was assaisinated it was the first gov't reaching out to Palestinan Arabs, even as Hamas suicide bombers has begub operations. His administration replaced right wing Israeli governments dating back to Menachem Begin and his peace with Egypt. The author says he wants 'truth' and 'open debate' but I doubt the sincerity. Israels Kadima party is actually opposed by I the Israeli right wing in respect to the West Bank & Gaza. A fact purposefully left out! To call the present situation the Holocaust a clever minimization of the systematic murder of 11 million Europeans. Its an insult to use that word 'Holocaust'!!!!
Question No. 7: How do Zionists explain the unconditional support that the United States of America gives International Zionism and the State of Israel? I believe that in order to comprehend what is happening today in the world we need to understand that the government of the United States of America has been commandeered [hijacked?] by the forces of International Zionism. Only then can the unconditional, permanent and unflinching US support for Israel be properly understood. Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharón eloquently reflected this when during a heated cabinet debate with Shimon Peres in late 2003 he said that he (Peres) should not worry about US reaction to Israeli aggression against the Palestininians because 'We (the Israelís) control the United States and the Americans know this very well' (cited in Israeli newspaper Ha'arezt, and also published in Argentine by Jewish writer Juan Gelman in the Buenos Aires daily 'Página 12', 04-Dec-03). This highly dangerous problem of global dimensions was recently assessed in a report published by Harvard University in March 2006, authored by University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer and the Dean of Havard's John F Kennedy School of Government, Stephen Walt describing 'The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy', (see Harvard Faculty Research Working Papers Series, RWP06-011). Both authors convincingly show the enormous political and financial influence and excessive leverage which pro-Zionist and pro-Israeli lobbies such as AIPAC - American Israeli Political Action Committee - have. So much so that they have succeeded in bending US foreign policy against the national interest of the people of the United States, in order to prioritize the national interest of a foreign country: the State of Israel. So obvious and flagrant is this key factor in US foreign policy, that even former National Security Advisor and key Trilateral Commission / Council on Foreign Relations idealogue Zbigniew Brzezinski voiced support for Measheimer and Walt, saying that they serve the public interest by pointing this problem out (see Bzezinski's article: Mearsheimer and Walt's public service initiating debate on the role of the Israel lobby: a Dangerous Exemption). We could also point to other very powerful and influential pressure groups like the World Zionist Organization, the World Jewish Congress, ADL - Anti-Defamation League (controlled by the masonic B'Nai B´Rith lodge), and the PNAC - Project for a New American Century, whose key intellectuals today serve in the Bush administration or influential upon it, and includes officials responsible for the destruction of Iraq and the unconditional US support for Israel: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, I. Lewis Libby, Paul Bremer III, Richard Armitage, Robert Zoellick, James Baker III and Elliot Abrams to name but a handful. ADDENDUM; Argentine Jews do not accuse the USA of being hijacked by Zionists. This confirms this fraud. I can now say this is of white supremacist origin. Now the Israel lobby is indeed powerful in the hall of government. But to say there is Internaional Zionism is funny. Its brings back memories of sloganeering by Ronald Reagain when he compared 'card carrying ACLU members' to previous card carrying communist party members in the 1950's. International Zionism is meant to regurgitate 'International Communism'. If Israel did actually control the US then why was there a need for Israel to spy on the US military as in the current AIPAC scandal or the Jonathan Pollard incident????? The recent Israel lobby article has been dismissed in academic circles. When you see 'controlled by the masonic B'Nai B´Rith lodge' you know a white supremacist wrote this as they fear Masons. 'Project for a New American Century, whose key intellectuals today serve in the Bush administration or influential upon it, and includes officials responsible for the destruction of Iraq and the unconditional US support for Israel: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, I. Lewis Libby, Paul Bremer III, Richard Armitage, Robert Zoellick, James Baker III and Elliot Abrams to name but a handful. ' These people are NeoCons who work for the Globalist corporate cabal that is far more powerful than the Israel lobby as it has sent us into a unwinnable war for oil resources. They may even be more powerful than the US gov't. Question No. 8: Is it good for the world to be dominated by very small minorities? In an official Israeli web site (The Jewish Agency for Israel, www.jafi.org.il) and in various sites belonging to Jewish organizations in the US (e.g., www.jewishvirtuallibrary.com), total world Jewish polulation is estimated at around 16.000.000 people (of which approximately 200.000 are said to reside in Argentina). This clearly indicates that the world's Jewish Communities are very tiny in their numbers, i.e., only 0.2% of the worlds total population estimated at 6.5 billion people (and 0.5% of Argentina's population of around 39 million). Is it not undemocratic for such small minorities to wield so much world power and leverage? So much so, that today the extremely aggresive and powerful Zionist sector of the Jewish community is dragging the entire planet to the brink of a Third World War as the London 'Financial Times' reports in its 24th July 2006 issue? ADDENDUM;There is no wielding of world power here by Zionists or Israelis or Jews. Its a perception tp create an enemy in the Jewish people, Historically Jews have been blamed for the ills of European civilization even after they were expelled from much of Europe for not converting to Christianity at the time . This blaming or scapegoating is being revived again with Jews as the global menace to disguise the real menaces, Islamic fundamenntalism and growing corporate power. The Islamic/Christian divide that dates to the invasion of the Roman Empire by Arabs in the 640's is bringing us to the 3rd world war.[/B] Question No. 9: Why do Zionists systematically lie about the cause of today's crisis in the Middle East? The tragic events in Lebanon and Palestine were allegedly triggered because Israel says that Hamas and Hezbollah 'kidnapped' three of their soldiers in Gaza and on the border with Lebanon (some reports say inside Lebanon), respectively. This is a travesty, because combat soldiers cannot be 'kidnapped'; only civilians can be kidnapped. Combat soldiers can be captured, even killed by the Enemy, but not 'kidnapped'. Nevertheless, Israel, the United States and the subservient global media financed and controlled by the very same international financial circles running today's 'New World Order', repeat time and again that those three Israeli soldiers were 'kidnapped'... An old adagio says that 'when war breaks out, the very first victim is truth...' Psychological War operations form part of the Zionist-US worldwide strategy, which includes major bomb scares and 'Anthrax-attack' scares. Even the terrible events of September 11th in the US, March 11th in Madrid and July 7th in London have yet to be properly addressed and clarified, as there is mounting evidence showing the tell-tale signs of probable 'dirty tricks' in these operations, reminiscent of the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq' scare of 2002 and 2003. Nevertheless, the aligned media and key world leaders use this to satanize the Muslim world and justify gross discrimination and aggression against the followers of Islam on a global basis. ADDENDUM: This is literally word for word from white supremacist Jew hate sites. The Hezbollah kidnapping was the straw that broke the camels with Israel. Even usually critical European nations condemned the Hezbollah action. Hamas was on a truce so they violated their own rules! Since there were no combat missions with Hezbollah and Hamas by the IDF then they were not the enemy. But these arguements are semantic.anti-semantic. (ha!) Suddenly the author states 'Psychological War operations form part of the Zionist-US worldwide strategy,' without so much as a easing into ogf the subject.

Discrminate against those trying to kill you
Is Israel a racist country? Yes it is! There is discrimination against the Ethopian Jews and other minorities. Russian and Ukrainian Jews suffer too!. Foreign workers from the Phillipines, the Ukraine, Russia and other countries are biased against.But this happens in the USA. This happens in the most diverse city in the USA---New York.But when you COMPARE racism in Israel with Europe it fairs favorably. In Europe antisemitism is ravaging. Far worse there. Skinheads in Germany. Skinheads in Russia attack any minority! Suddenly Israel is looking quite liberal! In Arab countries minorities have been HISTORICALLY discriminated against. Ask the Copts. In Lebanon ask the Christians of all sorts. Syria Iraq they are second class citizens. In the oil sheikdoms foreign workers have NO RIGHTS! There they outnumber the Arabs.In Saudi Arabia there are non-Arabs are non-entities. The "umma" concept of Arab Muslim lands in inherently RACIST!!!This concept denies the existence of Israel. Hence all the strife!What about the poor (boo hoo) Palestinians? They have supported an concerted effort to destroy Israel and kill Jews in the majority since the 1920's. This was conclusively confirmed in the 2nd intifada! Do Israelis discriminate against Arab Palestinians? You bet your ass! I hope they do!!! You discriminate against people trying to KILL YOU!!!
MARK TWAIN ON PALESTINE IN 1867
"Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse
that has withered its fields and fettered its energies. Where Sodom and Gomorrah reared their domes and towers, that solemn sea now floods the plain, in whose bitter waters no living thing exists -- over whose waveless surface the blistering air hangs motionless and dead -- about
whose borders nothing grows but weeds, and scattering tufts of cane, and that treacherous fruit that promises refreshment to parching lips, but turns to ashes at the touch. Nazareth is forlorn; about that ford of Jordan where the hosts of Israel entered the Promised Land with songs of rejoicing, one finds only a squalid camp of fantastic Bedouins of the desert; Jericho the accursed, lies a moldering ruin, to-day, even as
Joshua's miracle left it more than three thousand years ago; Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and their humiliation, have nothing about them now to remind one that they once knew the high honor of the leader's presence; the hallowed spot where the shepherds watched their flocks by
night, and where the angels sang Peace on earth, good will to men, is untenanted by any living creature, and unblessed by any feature that is pleasant to the eye. Renowned Jerusalem itself, the stateliest name in history, has lost all its ancient grandeur, and is become a pauper village; the riches of Solomon are no longer there to compel the admiration of visiting Oriental queens; the wonderful temple which was the pride and the glory of Israel, is gone, and the Ottoman crescent is lifted above the spot where, on that most memorable day in the annals of the world, they reared the holy cross. The noted Sea of Galilee, where Roman
fleets once rode at anchor and the disciples of the leader sailed in their ships, was long ago deserted by the devotees of war and commerce, and its borders are a silent wilderness; Capernaum is a shapeless ruin; Magdala is
the home of beggared Arabs; Bethsaida and Chorazin have vanished from the earth, and the "desert places" round about them where thousands of men once listened to the leader's voice and ate the miraculous bread, sleep in the hush of a solitude that is inhabited only by birds of prey and
skulking foxes. Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land? "

Israeli Arabs
Is Israel a Liberal Democracy in the European sense?Of course not! How a country is ruled is in large part determined by where it is, who its neighbors are and what type of ideal its striving for in regard to the political history of its citizens and the traditions of its citizens. You must also include the influence of leading countries and their forms of government.Do the Israeli Arabs feel they are living in a democracy? Of course not. First of all they have no experience to live in an Arab democracy. Lebanon with its continuing bloodshed is the best example of minrities maintaining rights in an Arab democracy. Second, the Arabs are continually reminded that they live in a Jewish State. A state where they are a minority. This must be very annoying despite the fact that they have more rights as an Arab in Israel than any Arab state. A great amount of Arab tradition deals with honor as the Arab people are only emerging now into a secular status. Of course this is greatly hampered by the panicky return to fundamentalism in recent decades. And this honor sticks in the Israeli Arab craw.
