Holocaust Invention In progress



Holocaust Invention In progress



Next to the myth of a Palestinian Holocaust in 1948 in El Nabka; the most prevalent myth is the Palestinian Holocaust being created right now. This element of propaganda is so popular that it actually drives a real actual genocide in Darfur off the front pages.Its easy to measure. Just put genocide into Google and you will Darfur being relegated to obscurity while the Palestinian Holocaust or genocide had more entries. I find that amazing. The power of a fraudulent ethnic cleansing actually eclipses a real ethnic cleansing.

You have four parties attracted to the invented genocide as with much propaganda favorable to the Palestinians. The first are liberals and leftists who consider the oppression of the Palestinians unconscionable and that exaggerating the casualties and distorting the facts permissable as long as it stops Israels efforts. The second are those unfamiliar with the conflict and its history. They are just horrified by any war and since its easy to condemn Israel in a reactionary knee jerk fashion they go along with the crowd. They cannot believe that transplanted civilized Europeans would go down to the level of savage Arabs. This group includes phony liberals and what I call boo hoos. The third group are right wing white supremacist types. They include Neo Nazis, Aryan Nations, Christian Identity, Christian Fundamentalists (Not to be confused with Christian Zionists)and the like. The fifth group are the broad range of Islamists who will lie, produce hoaxes, disinformation, and of course exaggerations. This includes the Palestinian Media which actually manufactures tales of abuse that is commonly known as Pallywood. The famous Muhammad Al-Dura affair,the Gaza Beach munitions explosion, numerous fake accounts of Israeli cruelty and killings and exaggerations that transform gun battles into massacres like the Jenin operation. This is of course identical to the invented 1948 incidents. Why not; those were created not that long ago as well. The Arab Press like al-Arabiya and al-Jazeera dutifully reports and repeats the Palestinian tales of woe. And then there is the Iranian media which also invents news stories like the CIA predicts the fall of Israel in 20 years. That too gets repeated in the Arab medias as well although most informed Arabs are actually skeptical of the Mullah mafia propaganda mouthpiece. In addition you have various Western medias with some Anti-Israel stance.


The Palestinian strategy is derived from exposure to the Jews and THE POST HOLOCAUST sympathy from the world.The Jews were seen as victims so that image MUST be broken. Either by Holocaust denial, false portrayal as Nazis reincarnated or by the new image of Palestinian victimhood and genocide. Having two pillars of fraud, 1948 and the present, its plumbed for boo hoo treasure. After the PLO terror wars of the 1970's and 1980's the image had to change. The first intifada worked as it was not a PLO sanctioned operation at first. So when with Oslo and Hamas taking over the terror campaign there was the beginnings of the victimhood strategy. Only the US press pointed out this great hypocrisy in detail and frequency. This accelerated in the organized terror-emphasized Second Intifada as well as the Hezbollah and Hamas wars. You have internet agents filling up google with hoaxes such as the Palestinian Holocaust as well as forums, groups and other message boards.I usually reply "the Palestinian Holocaust is the Only Holocaust where the victims tripled in population, I wish the Jewish people had THAT kind of Holocaust." This lie is usually followed by false descriptions of Gaza as a concentration camp. My reply again is " Gaza is a huge piece of territory where people have self-rule. There are fields, farms, towns and beaches."I wish the Jewish people who suffered in Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald, Birkenau had THOSE kinds such concentration camps as Palestinian Gaza."

However as I said its the disenfranchised internet trolls who spent hours on the web cursing out Jews and Israelis in forums and groups. When confronted this leftist, liberal and right wing diminutives vanish as the either cannot confront the facts or know the facts and seek to preserve the lies.
The British media is driven by a large Muslim population to cater to. Leftist and liberal papers with their "Jews shouldn't resort to violence" mentality exist in Europe. But the right wing press especially in nationalist Russia also has no punctions repeating Palestinian and Arab propaganda masquerading as news. This gives the impression that Israel is in the wrong and has no friends. Despite this onslaught, that is not true.In the USA the trend is bucked. Right wing, liberal. mainstream AND left wing press favors Israel although its mainly concerned with internal affairs. In the USA reports of a Palestinian Holocaust whether now or in 1948 rightfully do not see the light of day.

Who Created the Jewish State? Why it was the Arabs of Course!.





Who Created the Jewish State? Why it was the Arabs of Course. Invented myths are abundant on the internet and reused by Israel haters, Jew haters, Arabs, Palestinians,and pro-Palestinians about some Jewish invasion that displaced peaceful prosperous Palestinians.



Purportedly this was done massacre, expulsion, and threats of such resulting in the vague term ethnic cleansing brought into popular verbage by the Bosnian genocide in the nineties. Huge lists of Arab towns that are now Jewish towns are offered as evidence.


These are purposeful creations by the Palestinians in an effort to achieve victimhood. A victimhood that give them worldwide sympathy just like the Holocaust gave their enemies, the Jews, sympathy. Today they have added a modern fictional genocide as well in this pursuit. Its such a well done media creation it eclipses real genocides in Chechya, Darfur, and Myanmar.


If you examine the long lists of towns the fiction becomes apparent such as the extinct town of Al Quds. Thats really Jerusalem which had been Jewish for decades before the mythical invasion.


What really happened?


By 1948 there was a 3 sided war in Palestine. There was the occupation force of the British. There was the Arab militias led by Grand Mufti al-Husseini. And there was the various JEwish militias, the Palmach, Hagganah. Irgun, etc. The Grand Mufti had been fighting by them 28 years to expell, subdue or destroy the Jews who simply began buying scrap land and settling down in 1878. Arab Muslims in Palestine had begun to realize much like modern Arabs in Morth Africa and Asia, European Muslims and other Asian Muslims that Islam is a fragile religion and culture that would crumble before the temptation of Western Culture. This fragility had to be counteracted by segregation and fundamentalism. It continues today.


The Grand Mufti had been unsuccessful in his massacres, riots and attacks, He had alienated the upper class Arabs and moderates by attacking them as well. When Jews begain to arrive in great numbers due to the persecution in Europe, he stepped up the war. The British capitualted and immigration virtually ceased.


The previous November the United Nations in an effort to stabilize the area tried to segregate the Jews from the Arabs by creating Arab and Jewish states in Resolution. The Arab Palestinians rejected the proposal but it still passed. The Grand Mufti thought that once the British left the Jews were vulnerable with all there kibbutz and urban militias. He appealed to the Arab League to destroy the Jewish state once it was declared. The Arab League organized 5 Arab Armies from Iraq (which is not near Israel), Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon. These armies invaded Palestine. Their mission was to "drive the Jews into the sea" which was lingo for genocide. A second genocide to the very same people in 10 years. They warned the Arab Palestinian that lest they become collateral damage by being in the crossfire; they should leave temporarily. Many did. They left for the hills of Judea and Samaria now called the West Bank. They were bolstered by reports on Arab radio that Deir Yassin was the beginning of terrible massacres. Deir Yassin was exaggerated from its postion of history as a battle into a massacre by mainstream Jewish forces opposed to the radical groups Irgun and Lehi as well as Arab Radio. It was an effort to discredit radical forces and centralize Jewish forces. There were some expulsios like in Lydda now called Lod due to murders of Jews. But the evacuation was mostly and Arab operation. Today the Fatah and PA leader Abbas admits his family fled Galilee with his fearing retribution for local massacres in 1929 incited by the Grand Mufti. There were Arabs who remained. They are known as Israeli Arabs and live in Israel unlike the Palestinians who do not.


The strange thing was that the 5 Arab Armies were hated and defeated by the Jewish militas.By 1949 the Arabs sued for an armastice which the UN mediated. The front became the border of what it now Israel. Huge empty expanses where Arabs lived were apparent. The Arab refugees, who were not called Palestinians until the 1960's, remained in the hills. Most dared not attempt s to return. They knew that they were complicit in an attempted genocide.


The Arabs in an effort to destroy the Jews actually created Israel. They set up country with emptied of a hostile populace. The rejected bi-national proposals of statehood and would only accept Jews as subservient to a Muslim state or no Jews in Palestine at all. Their intractability created the Jewish state. It set up a blue dot in an Arab Muslim sea of green, black, red and white.


There were Arab Jews or Mizrachi Jews in Arab countries from Morocco to Iraq. Most were expelled as punishment for being of the same religion as the Jews who defeated the Aran League. But the joy of a Jewish state brought many who werent expelled. They filled the gap left by the Arab Palestinians who were so confident of the destruction of Palestinian Jews. For them it was an unanticipated horror of their own making.


Did the Arab Palestinians set up their own state once there was a truce?? No the the areas conquered by the 5 Arab Armies were annexed by Egypt (Gaza) and Jordan (the West Bank)


Today their descendents live in Palestine and around the world. Politically they have created a war of terror once they felt the Arab states was not serious in helping them.


The first phase was by the Palestine Liberation Front (1970-1993) and the second by Hamas and assorted allies (1995-the present).

Palestinians Before They Knew They Were Palestinians 1920-1948











Remember the Palestinians before their fear and paranoia of all things Western as well Jewish made them tools of the Arab League and later The Islamic Republic of Iran.


When the Jews/Zionists arrived in 1878 they were small in number. They were scattered and they bought the most undesirable plots of land from Arab and Turkish effendis or landlords. The Muslim Arabs eventually began to fear the disappearance of their religion and culture. The extreme freedoms and incredible materialism were not welcomed by many Arabs. They feared and perhaps rightly so that unless Islam was enforced more strictly droves of Arabs would abandon Islam. Ever since the Middle Ages Arabia, Lebanon and Syria (upper Syria) , Iraq (called Mesopotamia by the West), and Lower Syria(Called Palestine by the West) , were in suspended animation remaining in the 13th century by the non-progressive Ottoman (Turkish) Empire or the Grand Porte or the Caliphate. When the British defeated the Ottoman forces in 1917 Palestine became a mandate of the British Empre (really a colony, the British loved colonies). This tremendously increased the fear of Muslim Arabs in exposure of their stagnant culture to Western liberated notions. The Caliph in Constantinople was no longer in charge! Europeans were!! So the onslaught of alien yet enticing European values terrified all Arabs there. All other Arab States in North Africa were colonized already and had the roughly the same struggles. That set the stage for reaction.

Te Grand Mufti al-Husseini of Jerusalem made the first aggressive move as Arabs are wont to do, in 1920 by attacking Jews, rioting and massacring Jews. This continued into 1921. Riots broke out in 1929 that massacred many Jews of Hebron so that they left and didn’t return until after the Six Day War victory secured Hebron once again. That is why that city/town is so important to the Jewish Settler movement.

The Grand Mufti next project was most ambitious. Immigration from of persecuted and oppressed Jews from Nazi Germany rove the immigration levels up. The Arabs were far more xenophobic that charitable. They demanded immigration cease and 3 years of massacres and riots began anew. The Grand Mufti called for all Arabs to attack Jews. When many Arabs refused to do so; his forces attacked the moderated. This action has been repeated up to this day. That’s why moderates in Palestine and across the Arab world barely utter a sound at wonton attacks by radicals Islamists to this day.

From 1936 to 1939 510 Jews were killed. It was a lower number than expected as by then Jews had set up self defense militias in kibbutzim and cities. But the Arab death count was much greater. It was ARAB on ARAB violence. They also attacked the British this time. The many British were anti-semitic (towards Jews) as was the ancient prejudice still was not dismissed by science and liberalism completely. The also admired the "knights" of the desert- The Arab as written about by Lawrence of Arabia. By 1939 the British issued a White Paper restricting and later ending all immigration by Jews from Germany and later German occupied Europe. This gave the British the marvelous opportunity of the Brits becoming partners in the genocide of 6 million Jews with Nazi Germany. The Jews were refused admittance in most countries in such LARGE numbers. Still the Jews tried many deals to secure release of doomed European Jews going well in World War 2. The British arefused wartime releases as well. So then began the smuggling-Jews-to-save-lives operation by Zionist organizations and Palestinian Jews

What did the Grand Mufti al-Husseini do when World War 2 began? His intense hated and fear of Jews made him write off his fear of Europeans so he joined the Nazi Government as a visiting dignitary and later as a ss commander. Frequently he would call for the extermination of the Jews. He met with Hitler and they admired bloodthirstiness. in each other.

After the War al-Husseini restarted the war against the Jews minus the 6 million of course.

Attacks began AGAIN in 1946 and were in full war mode by 1947. Rich Arabs (moderate) fearing more attacks by the Grand Mufti as well as the Jews all left.

The United Nations set a Bi-National state in Resolution 181. This 2 state solution probably would have resembled the Bi-National Federation in Bosnia today if the Arabs accepted it. They would not.

Instead they called for the liquidation of the Jewish part. Seeing the Jews would NOW set up an independent state, the Grand Mufti asked the Arab League to "drive the Jews into the sea" . Iraq, Lebanon. Syria, Egypt, TransJordan, and the Arab Palestinians. rallied to the death cause. Rumors, fears and warnings impelled most Arab Palestinians to leave the theatre of war.

To the shock of the world especially the Arabs the Hagannah, (really bunch of militias) defeated all 5 Arab Armies and set up the current Jewish state. The intense hatred and xenophobia of the Jews brought into concrete reality the most feared thing the Grand Mufti al-Husseini he could imagine a Jewish country in Muslim Umma lands not under any Islamic dhimmi (2nd class caste rules of the Muslim era).

Jews now could look into the eyes of Muslim Arabs as equals. as warriors in what Muslims deemed was their holy sacred part of the Planet Earth!!!!

It wasn’t til much later that the Arab refugees of war were given an identity and therefore country called Palestine. It was a great strategy by Yasir Arafat 1964.They took the name from the British who like Europeans use the latin word invented by the Romans upon the destruction of Judea in the 1st century. The Brits need it to differentiate it from Syria which became French Syria and Lebanon. Today the Palestinians insist there was always an Arab nation of Palestine. They have even invented a backstory of a prosperous peaceful country. Of course the major telling point to the contrary is the word Palestine being of Latin origin. So when Palestinians pronounce it they say Filistine or Falestine as P is not in the Arab language.

Media Manipulation Via Editorial Cartoons with distortions and exaggerations REVEALED










I usually find editorial cartoons on the Israeli conflict are particularly shallow or deceitful. Here I have taken about 3 such editorial cartoons are are blatantly Pro-Palestinian (Arab) that is so obviously panders to the ignorant uneducated observers on the world stage. I take it apart showing how the cartoonist tries to bypass the reasoning brain in refer to the facts of this subject in order to get the outraged knee jerk reactions.

There are no magic x ray guided missiles.

I am posting all my editorial cartoons for the next few weeks. So far I have not seen my particular perspective on the Middle East conflict anywhere on the internet.

Here I use a frequent Israel basher cartoon to show the reality behind the UN /International controversy on reports surrounding Israel's participation in the recent Gaza War. The obvious take on how Israelis are suppossed to limit urban warfare while rockets are raining on Sderot, Ashkelon, etc .This is to show the cynical attitude of Israelis toward a biased world court that doesnt not treat all parties equally. The absurd arguement of Israeli control over warfare is contrasted to Hamas control over their bombardment and their human shield strategy meant to create as much casualities as possible among Palestinans. Whats left out is Hamas firing from the vicinity of schools, markets, shelters, apartment buildings and mosques in order to get Israel fire to create new martyrs for the Hamas Islamic cause. You tknow the Culture of Death.

Layers of War

Neophytes look at the Israeli Arab conflict as one solvable struggle. But this volatile issue is really a multi-layered affair. Like the sediments on the bottom of a lake or a layer cake this war is violent war piled ontop of violent war. Its was very diagnosed carefully so it is very hard to solve.
The first layer was set down after the British occupied Palestine and later were given a mandate over the area. The Arabs had been ruled by muslim overlords since the Crusaders, whether it was the Mameluks or the Turks. But now the Europeans were in charge again. And like the Franks in 1099 the British were Christians. They had no Islamic religious authority like the Caliph in Istanbul. That was the first rude shock.
The second shock was Western values and culture. The West brought social progress, democracy, an aversion to tyranny, changing social mores, sexual revolutions, the industrial revolution, the transformation of womens roles as well as declining obedience to religion.
The third shock was the Balfour Declaration allowing Jews a homeland in Palestine. And the Jewish presence which had declined increased dramatically. And it continued to increase. To be clear Balfour did not set a Jewish government but only a haven from an increasingly anti-semitic world.
This was too much change for the people in British Palestine who included Christians, Muslims and Jews. They had lived in a stagnant practically medieval world since 1224. But there was even more horror as Arabs also saw young people attracted to the new ideas of the West. Islam was seen as old fashioned, even irrelevant. It was apparent that Islam was a fragile religion susceptible to the new ideas. Islam needed protection. They did not think to reform, improve or update the religion. Religious teaching precluded such changes. What was necessary was to remove people who brought the changes. To remove them from traditional Umma lands. First were the Jews and then the British would follow.
And so riots in 1920-1 and 1929 brought the first layer of war. Simple xenophobic riots born out of kneejerk fear. These riots weren’t planned. But The Mufti of Jerusalem decided to plan to rid the Jews and British as well as noderatate cooperative Arabs in the 1936-9 riots. The British retreated into their barracks and fortified areas and the Jews into fortified areas amd kibbutzim. The moderate Arabs suffered the wrath of the Mufti’s rage. This was the second layer of war. Organized violence with some spontaneity and ome control. As the approaching Holocaust drove Jews into Palestine, the Arab xenophobia went up several notches in absolute panic. Arab violence forced the British to end immigration into Palestine dooming many Jews trying to flee Nazi Germany. A year later after the death of 6 million Jews the Arabs still refused to budge from their xenophobic position. And so began the fourth layer of war.
This layer was really two years molded into one. We have the refusal of the Arab Palestinians to accept a westernized Jewish culture in close proximity to their own. They still had no faith in Islam’s invulnerablity to werstern values and materialism. Arabs through out the Middle East and North Africa recognized this as well from colonization by British, French, and to a lesser extent Italian and Spanish europeans. But what upset the Arab League founded after WW2, was the possibility of a non Muslim Non Arab state in their self declared umma lands. Their sacred Muslim territory granted in its self righteous egocentricity by Allah and the subsequent Arab conquest in the 7th to 9th centuries would not tolerate an infidel nation. This effort by Arabs outside Palestine combined with effort within Palestine. The Arabs declared they would “drive the Jews into the Sea”, This was to be a second genocide of the Jewish people in less than a decade. It would destroy the survivors of the Nazi holocaust.
The Arabs outside Israel respected the Jews as the people of the book. As long as they remained subservient to the Arab caste system of dhimmi. As Jews they had to endure centuries of humiliation and heavier taxes. With a new nation the Jews could stare back openly at the Muslim ex-masters. This was intolerable to Muslim Arabs!!!
But the Jewish Palestinians were militarily oriented in defending themselves against years of Arab attacks. They had fought the Nazis in the World War. They made up their lack of formal Army training and heavy weapons in fighting spirit; the spirit of survival. Newspapers gloomily feared for the Jews of Palestine. They prevailed over the better equipped Arab forces. They defeated the 5 Arab Armies of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq (whose border is far from Palestine) and Egypt. Meanwhile those 5 Arab Armies fearing collaterol damage of fellow Arabs asked they remove themselves from the arena of battle. Many did. And they went to the inland hills. There they would remain in the future West Bank fearing retribution, knowingly complicit in an attempted genocide. The newly emptied land became the home of Jews fleeing Arab countries along with Holocaust survivors.
And year one after the El Nabka brought the fifth layer of war.
This was the Arab fedayeen war. It was a war of raiders and terror. Border communities were especially vulnerable like Sderot of today. Raid brought retailiation and Arik Sharon proved himself in these operations. The West Bank and Gaza were staging areas for these raids and protected by Jordan and Egypt. Of course regular army contributed especially Syrian gunners in the Golan. The 1956 Suez war g cleared out the Gaza nest of vipers for awhile but it was the sixth layer of war that ended this strategy. It was the Six Day War created huge buffers in the Sinai and the West Bank that ended raiding missions. The Egyptian self declared president Gamal Nasser had called for a holy mission to once again “drive the Jews into the Sea”. But surprise tactics destroyed his army, the Syrian Army as well as bring Jerusalem and the entire Jordanian Palestine into Israeli orbit.
The seventh layer was the creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. It was a conglomerate of Palestinian Arab terrorist fronts. This phase continued to the mid 1980’s with its most despicable hijacking of the ocean liner Achelle Lauro and the killing of a wheelchair bound Jew. One part called Black September killed Israeli Olympics in Munich in 1072, Sympathetic Japanese Red Guards machine gunned pilgrims in in Lod airport. Sympathetic German terrorists hijacked a plane to Entebbe airport and only Israeli commando action rescued most of the hostages in 1976. Hijacking and airport massacres throughout Europe marked this seventh layer. Yasir Arafat even engineered a propaganda coup by getting the Muslim, Arab and Communist blocs to pool their resources and have the United Nations Assembly declare Zionism synonymous with racism. Reactionary Arab nations embracing a police state version of socialism brought many nations to suspend judgment and give those states benefit of the doubt in relation to terrorist self righteous actions. They too joined those blocs.
The eighth layer of war was the Yom Kippur War. This was the last state action by Arab nations to destroy Israel. Despite its complete surprise during the holiest holiday of the Jews and an initial near defeat in the beginning , Israel was near the Nile and well into Syria at the end. This was in no small part of a huge arms shipment from the United States. The Egyptian leader realized he could not defeat Israel this way. Perhaps the Israeli read to use nukes spooked the US into the arms shipment. Nuclear war would have certainly brought the Soviet Union into it. They had armed the Arabs since the 1950’s. Peace brought Sinai back to Egypt and death by the Muslim brotherhood (many who are now in Al Qaeda) to Anwar Sadat. It alsi brought a cold peace.
But the PLO was not finished. In Lebanon it supported the Muslim half of the country and brought about the Lebanese Civil War which lasted 15 years. It then created a Palestinian state within Lebanon and began rocketing Israel in 1978 and again in 1982. Both resulted in Israeli invasions and a Christian buffer state. This was the ninth layer of war. Seeking to elimate Arafats state with in a state the Israelis pushed him to Beirut and eventually he left for Tunis. But the Israelis made the Amal Shia enemies and this was quickly exploited by the new Isalmic Republic of Iran a shia state. The amal militia became the Hezbollah state within a state later.
The tenth layer of war was the First intifada reaction by West Bank Palestinian Arabs. And this was ended by Arafat’s signing of the Oslo peace treaty. Hamas, Islamic welfare entity took up the “destroy Israel” mantra initiating the 11th layer of war
When Ehud Barak withdrew support of the Christian buffer state Palestinians felt Israel was weak enough to destroy. They used Arik Sharond visit to the Temple Mount to set off a six year war and terror campaign known as the Second intifada, Unlike the first the main feature was suicide bombers. These bombers went into many civilian situations to kill as many Israelis as possible. They were killed in weddings, pizza shops, buses (many buses). The bombers were like the PLO a conglomerate of terror groups. Aqsa group was affiliated with Arafat’s Fatah. There was also the Islamic Jihad among others. This brought IDF troops into the West Bank and Gaza but the solution was a huge security wall that ended the most horrendous attacks.
The 12th layer was war on the aforementioned Hezbollah was mostly a airborne missile exchange in 2006. And finally the 13th layer of war was the recent Gaza war to stop Qassam rocket attacks by Hamas. Remember that the Hamas war of suicide bombing had never ended since 1995. It had just been replaced by Qassam attacks. This war really hasn’t ended as Qassams still fly. Israelis wonder if the rockets that hit far inland like Beersheva will be a future norm and precipitate another Gaza war.
The layers have to be perceived for the Middle East conflict to be understood never mind solved. Intial layers were simple reactionary riots. These were followed by organized resistance. Then Arab national states intervenes. They supported guerrilla terrorist groups. Eventually these groups formed an umbrella the PLO. The Arab nations failed and were replaced by states within states developed by the guerrilla terror groups. These groups began operating from the Palestinian Authority territory but still failed and now guerrilla sub states like Hezbollah Lebanon and Hamas Gaza operate at the behest of Arab cabals and Iran have taken the helm of “driving the Jews into the sea”.
Its really an Islamic reaction this war on Israel. From simple outraged Arabs to international war to subnational war its always aggressive Muslim Arab efforts of many varieties with many Israeli reactions. Ots quite the miracle that despite changing strategies 13 mile wide Israel still exists.

Refuting Elias Akleh’s Arming Terrorist Israel

“Since their occupation of .Palestine.... in 1948 ” says Elias Akleh. Its so easy to miss! Most Arab/Islamist pundits whine about the occupation that began in 1967. Israelis then point out What was the excuse for Arab hostility BEFORE the occupation. Then you hear the deafening silence! Arab hostility was because of a non-Muslim state that was in power and control of its own destiny; without interference of the Muslim management called dhimmi. ( A situation I’m sure envied by minorities suffering in Arab states like the Copts, Marionites, Druze, other Christians, Assyrians, Jews as well as minorities such as Kurds, Darfurans, Dinka, etc.) Aklen skips that argument by stating that ....Israel....’s existence is an occupation! He doesn’t even WANT co-existence! He WANTS the Jews to go into the SEA!....


To continue..…“Since their occupation of ..Palestine.. in 1948 to establish Israel in the heart of the Arab World “ There you have it a full frank confession, albeit unaware, of the Arab Muslim intention against ....Israel..... Does ....Israel....’s existence violate international law? No it violates Arab Muslim law! It violates the concept of Muslim Umma lands in North Africa and ..West Asia.. reserved for Muslim Arabs only. How dare the infidels establish a non-Muslim state on HOLY MUSLIM GROUND reserved for Muslims by Muslims! Ever since Arab tribes rode out of ....Mecca.... in the 7th century The Muslims have become supremacist in their self righteousness over other peoples, ethnic groups and religions. They feel they are Gods ultimate expression. All before the existence of Mohammed is to be reviled. All non-Islamic as well.....


Elias Akleh can barely write the word ....Israel..... In doing so he recognizes their existence. Jews in a ....Muslim.. ..Sea....! So like many Arabs since 1948 he must amend with the word Zionist. I wonder why he doesn’t use the more popular “Zionist entity” used by Muslims of Arab states and ....Iran..... He plunges into outrageous lies by declaring all seven WARS as intiated by ....Israel..... The 1948 war (War of Independence/El Nabka) resulted when 5 Arab Armies were sent by the Arab League to destroy the ragtag citizen army that included many Holocaust survivors. That very same Arab League had rejected the UN resolution to create a bi-national state. The 1956 war was indeed started by ..Israel.. to cleanup the fedayeen base in ..Gaza.. that sent terrorists into ....Israel..... (Sound familar??). The 1967 war was in response to military buildups along the borders of ..Egypt.., ..Syria.. and ....Jordan..... President Gamal Nasser of ....Egypt.... had predicted the destruction of the Zionist entity in fiery speeches before the war. The Israelis took the West Bank and ..Gaza.. (....Palestine.... later) and the Golan and offered land for peace. No deal said the Arabs. The 1973 war was a surprise Arab attack on the Jewish HOLY day of Yom Kippur. The 1978 and 1982 invasions of ..Lebanon.. were in responses to rockets sent into ..Northern Israel... The Hezbollah 2006 war and the Hamas 2008-9 war were in response to attacks as well. While the first intifada was a grass roots movement not well organized the second intifada was better coordinated and was much more of an attack on Israelis with suicide bombings and gun battles. The Sheb’a Farms is really a poor excuse to rally anti-zionist opinion as it’s a tiny section of Golan that might be in ....Lebanon.... but who really knows for sure. ..Syria.. and ....Lebanon.... never argued about it from 1945 to 1967 anyway.....


So when Aklen states, “Zionist Israelis had initiated seven wars against their Arab neighbors. Six of those were waged after 1967 to maintain their occupation of the rest of ..Palestine.., Lebanese Sheb’a Farms, and Syrian ..Golan Heights..; formally recognized by the international community as an occupation.” He is just spouting the most radical fundamentalist Islamic rhetoric all based on exaggerations and disinformation meant to confuse the not educated reader. Is it “formally recognized by the international community as an occupation’? No the international community is an ambiguous body of many different opinions unduly influenced by petroleum rich nations. He implies it is monolithic. It is not.....
In lieu of any peace action by the surrounding Arab states, the Arab League and the Palestinian people ....Israel.... has on and off maintained a military presence since the 1967 war. Akleh wants to paint this erroneous and poorly thought out idea that 13 mile wide Israel’s raison d’etre is not its inventiveness, its courage, its ingenuity, its democracy, its technology but schoolyard bullying (??)!! ....
He can even not explain why the millions of Arabs with their centuries old infighting and an adherence to a crumbling tribalized religion have no destroyed the state of ....Israel..... He brings up the mythical (now called civic !!) international community again in its supposed disapproval of ....Israels.... existence. Without the international community (included Arab/Muslims states!) ....Israel.... would not exist! Technology and smarts have obviously saved ....Israel.... from the Arab hordes. Getting the atomic bomb before even the Chinese and Indians have made the Muslims stand back. The threat to use this made the 1973 Yom Kippur war (with Israelis approaching the Nile) the last war by formal Arab states and necessitated for a change to low tech war on the part of the Muslim Arab cartel to destroy non-Muslim Israel.....
His solution to this enigma is to describe ....Israel.... as a Spartan military state! For anyone who actually visits ....Israel....; its military preparedness (though not always successful) does belie any military society. In fact its unmilitary-ness is most apparent. Guns are treated casually (maybe too much). You want to see a military or police state? Visit ..Syria.., ..Egypt.., ..Saudi Arabia.., ..Oman.., ..Yemen.., the ..Sudan.., ....Libya.... where gangsters rule. Aklen goes on to mention “every Zionist Israeli citizen, from childhood to old age, being militaristic in one form or another.” Yes all perpetuated by cross border attacks initiated by Arab terrorists from 1948 to 1967. “ Israel possesses all kinds of weapons including weapons of mass destruction (WMD) such as nuclear and chemical weapons” Yes, to hold off destruction of the infidel Jewish state! Yes!....


....Israel.... certainly became the fourth largest army by its own merit. Every citizen had to shell out huge parts of their incomes to prevent annihilation. Akleh cant even give credit where credit is due, He has a string distaste we call hatred, And it is colored with irrationality and emotion bolstered by lies, and distortions! “named 18 EU member states, which authorized 1,018 arms export licenses to Israel worth a little less than 200 million Euros. All these arms exports are in violation of the EU Code of Conduct on Arms Exports under Criterion 2, which states that member states are supposed to “deny an export license if there is a clear risk that the proposed export might be used for internal repression or be used in the commission of serious violations of international humanitarian law”. Israel had committed such violations throughout its entire existence.”Akleh is self legislating here. He has become a A EU politician freely interpreting THEIR laws to fit his agenda! Israeli arms defend humanity and EU nations know it even if they tsk tsk with disapproval of Israeli methods. Of course these tsk tskers have NEVER offered an alternative. ....Israel.... has not committed violations of this sort.....
Aklen goes through a huge list detailing arms supplies to ....Israel.... He especially focuses on American aid. Is the hostility, the Iranian and Arab strategies , the efforts to destroy the tiny country mentioned here.. He wants ....Israel.... to appear secure able to afford stripping away of its military prowess.....
He quotes US laws against use of military weapons, “This law states that American weapons given or sold to any foreign country can be used only for legitimate self-defense or for internal security. They are not to be used in occupational operations.” And “The second is the Foreign Assistance Act (P.L.97-195), which states that any country is not illegible for any form of US aid if it engages in consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. “And “The third is the Leahy Law (Foreign Ops Appropriations Act). This is an annual part of the Foreign Appropriations Act, and states that no aid will be given to any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible evidence that such unit has committed gross violations of human rights.”....
Of course he is the arbiter of the meaning of “gross”. He wants us to believe that the monitoring and surveillance of Palestinian Arabs is a luxury for the IDF. Does he mention the long record of Palestinian Arab attempts to discourage the existence of the Jewish state stretching back almost 40 years? Or the their antecedents the Arab Palestinians that started the Jew-Muslim-Islamic hostility in 1920? At least he did mention the efforts of Arab neighboring states to destroy ....Israel.... in 7 wars. Why else have armament supplies and industry?....
Akleh also repeats his disinformation and distortions he dashes off the statement. “It has been, numerously, documented by Israeli, Palestinian, and international NGOs that Israel had consistently violated international laws and human rights since 1948.” But dares not to detail this. He says. “. Israel had attacked all its neighbors, committed war crimes, and occupied parts of their land.” Again little details but as I have already explained that THIS IS NOT TRUE. Another falsehood is that Israeli evicted huge areas of Palestinians and even wiped them off reminding us WHAT President Ahmadindejad said. Israel has evicted certain people with terrorist connections mostly from the West Bank to ....Gaza..... The Palestinian town were abandoned MOSTLY by the Arabs themselves at the behest of 5 Arab Armies (..Iraq.., ..Syria.., Jordan and ....Lebanon.... ) that attempted to destroy the Jews in a second Holocaust of the 1940’s. The Arabs were instructed to leave the theatre of battle so that they might not suffer the fate the collateral damage. But the citizen army won. And so ..Israel.. had much resultant room for the waves of Jews from Muslim countries expelled for ....Israel....’s victory and the later wave of Russian Jews escaping Soviet persecution. Why didn’t the Arabs return?? They were afraid? You see they were complicit in an attempted genocide. And so in the last twenty years there has been a deliberate attempt in the Arab media to revise history. Suddenly all the battles, fleeings, expulsions or any action at all from 1947-8 have been magically transformed into massacres comparable to Deir Yassin. Even that might have been a deliberate attempt by the Hagganah to paint the right wings groups in a bad light. Otherwise that might not have been a massacre but a battle. This media campaign continues in labeling Qana, Jenin and other confrontations in massacres to gain sympathy in the west. Hamas even uses hospitals, shelters and schools as staging areas for rocket attacls to kill as many Gazans as possible to (again ) get that desired Western sympathy. Watching the Jews after the Holocaust Arabs saw how powerful victimhood can be, Of course they reasoned why cant they get some of the action!!?? So if they cant cause victimhood they’ll invent it to take away from that maniacal terrorist image so prevalent in the world.....


Ankleh recites the usual litany of injustices. When he mentions stealing land he leaves out the fact that the land was lying fallow in many cases. When he mentions Palestinians “shoved” into prison he leaves out the reason 99% are there not for political crimes but actual crimes of terrorism. Planning. Operation. He even calls the freedom fighters as if Hamas ever gave its citizens any democratic rights or that Fatah did the same on the West Bank. Such hypocrisy. He complains that the rest of the Palestinians reside in “open air virtual town-prisons within a separation wall”. He exaggerates the situation as Palestinian towns are not prisons on the ..West Bank.. and that Gazans don’t even have the IDF around. ”. He leaves out that the 2nd intifada made separate roads and the wall necessary. The proof is the cessation of THAT intifada.....
Urban warfare in ....Gaza.... has given Hamas the opportunity for victimhood all Arabs crave. They have latched on to the “ disproportionate force” concept used to make the IDF into the “bad guys”. Israeli military weaponry has never included magic X ray vision missiles that attack Palestinian civilians (mainly defenseless children and women). Akleh underhandedly calls it “the daily entertainment of Israeli government -backed and armed extreme Zionist colonizing terrorists (settlers?)”. Israeli never target civilians because they cannot. High civilian death is from Hamas strategy of human shields and population density. He goes on to state “Israeli soldiers developed the sport of hunting (shooting) Palestinian children on their way to schools or while playing in front of their homes” Which is pretty much an unabashed lie. Of course here he neglects to mention all rock throwing incidents. He says the Israeli uses the Palestinian territories for military testing. But most of the military hardware he mentions are for standard warfare not guerilla warfare.....
There has never been any documented evidence for massacres of any Palestinians by the UN, Amnesty International or other organizations. Its all false propaganda designed for Western sympathy to dry up any support for ....Israel..... In fact many studies have revealed hoaxes created by Palestinian and other Arab groups in cooperation with Palestinian and Arab media. Arab media especially in Hezbollah ..Lebanon.. and ....Palestine.... show an industry of false impressions created FOR the media that has been termed by the West and Israeli pundits as PALLYWOOD or HEZOLLYWOOD.....
In a typical turnspeak tactic used by anti-semites around the web Akleh describes Zionism as a the extreme racist religious ideology of establishing a pure theocratic “Jewish” state for a prejudice- god’s chosen people “narcissist Zionist Jews” in the real-estate- brokering-god’s promised land of Greater Israel “Eretz Israel” extending from Nile to Euphrates. He would never describe ....Saudi Arabia.... in such a way. While Israeli is a overwhelming secular country with powerful regious movements. That is far more accurate but not enough gunpowder for his diatribe. There is a religious Zionist movement backed right wing of the government but its not the ....Israel.... majority at all. Israelis pretty much accept the Torah/Bible as not being a real estate guide. He used the term “holy war” in another turnspeak maneuver when the radical ideologues like Hamas and Hezbollah defined their crusade against the Jews (worldwide) as a HOLY WAR!! He even introduces the silly prospect that all anti-semites relish the GREATER ..ISRAEL.. concept of ..Israel.. stretch from the Nile to the ..Euphrates.. as in King Solomon’s time. First of all King Solomon was said to rule from the “Rover of ..Egypt..” which is a wadi near El Arish and not the ..Nile... Secondly this is no way the Israelis can ever occupy such a great area nor could they convert the 40 million Muslims there already. But Akleh mentions it nevertheless.....
Aklen insists that there were two investigations of Israeli military action in resect to weaponry transfer laws related to Israels killing of Hamas leader, Salah Shehadeh and the cluster bombs used to kill Hezbollah operatives in the 2006 ....Lebanon.... war. But he provides no proof just assertions. Again population density and placement of targets, whether leaders or weapons caches, by the enemy resulted large civilian deaths. He even labels Joe Biden as a “Zionist” for unknown reasons.....


For full rhetoric effect he calls ....Israel.... the terrorist entity as a break from “Zionist entity”. He doesn’t really explain what terrorism really is. Unannounced attacks of civilians are meant to create terror. The uncertainty of when and where the attack is to be defines terrorism. The IDF usually announces their intentions days before any operation. This they did in ....Gaza..... Using liberal terms for maximum effect he says “expansionist colonizing regime. Its successive governments had disregarded all UN resolutions, broken international laws, violated all human rights, committed holocaustal-level genocides, and perpetrated war crimes against all its neighbors and against mother earth and against the environment.” How can ..Israel.. be expanding when Sinai was handed over to ..Egypt.. in 1982 and ....Gaza.... was given on a “silver plate “ to the Gazans in 2006?? UN resolutions against ....Israel.... was always orchestrated by coalitions of Arab/Muslims blocks along with the Communist blocks before 1991. Today oil is used as a lever against ....Israel..... It procures votes from desperate countries in Africa and ..Asia... Never mind the Muslim solidarity that only really exists against the Jewish state. Aleh ignores the human rights violations prevalent in Palestine as well as many Arab states.And fails to ever focus on the fact that Palestine has been at war with Israel through the PLO or Hamas snce 1970. War crimes are mentioned without explanation. And ecological damage blame is thrown in for good measure.....


.. ..
He blames a lot of this on mysterious ”western political power elites” that arm and support ....Israel.... as if Israelis economic growth is a prop. A growth that is one of the highest in the world. On a sliver of land 13 miles wide!! He talks about Palestinian self defense when all attacks were on civilians. He decries the naval blockade as well as the surveillance for arms smuggling when ignoring that Hamas has been AT WAR since 1993 first with suicide bombings and THEN with Qassam rockets. He whines about western “crocodile tears and call for humanitarian aid to ....Gaza....’s Palestinians” and belittling Western liberal attempts to help the Hamas oppressed and undersupplied Gazans. No mention is made of the regular checks Hamas receives for fighting ....Israel.... nor of Hamas having fist crack at the food and supplies!....
To the Arabs of the Middle East, ....Israel.... is a cultural and political tool of un-Islam-ness. An effort by the West to colonize the Arab states. This means that deep in their hearts Arab Muslims know their Islamic culture is fragile and decadent and will never survive any proximity to Western culture whether it be European, American or Israeli! On the surface it appears as hatred for the West and a turn or return to Islamic fundamentalism or what they think that is. Do they hate ....Israel....? Yes! But they fear and hate western values, social mores democracy as well. They are xenophobic and not comfortable with change. They hate “us” for forcing them to confront these issues. Their Islamic culture is not compliant with modernity

Since their occupation of ..Palestine.. in 1948 to establish illegal Israel in the heart of the Arab World until the present, Zionist Israelis had initiated seven wars against their Arab neighbors. Six of those were waged after 1967 to maintain their occupation of the rest of ....Palestine...., Lebanese Sheb’a Farms, and Syrian Golan Heights; formally recognized by the international community as an occupation.....
Israel had maintained its occupation of the land for the last sixty years. The question that poses itself, here, is how a small state like Israel, 7 million Zionist Jews in an area of 8 thousand square miles (excluding the 1967 occupied territories), could maintain such an occupation against hundreds of millions of Arabs and against the disapproval of the civic (not political) international community? Bullying with extreme brutal force is the answer. Israel is a military society with every Zionist Israeli citizen, from childhood to old age, being militaristic in one form or another. Israel possesses all kinds of weapons including weapons of mass destruction (WMD) such as nuclear and chemical weapons.....
.. ..
Israel did not become the fourth largest army in the world by its own merit, but by the Western countries supplying it with all kinds of weapons. In its February 23rd report.. ..........................................................................Foreign Arms Supplies To Israel/Gaza Fueling Conflict amnestyusa.org.. ......named 18 EU member states, which authorized 1,018 arms export licenses to Israel worth a little less than 200 million Euros. All these arms exports are in violation of the EU Code of Conduct on Arms Exports under Criterion 2, which states that member states are supposed to “deny an export license if there is a clear risk that the proposed export might be used for internal repression or be used in the commission of serious violations of international humanitarian law”. Israel had committed such violations throughout its entire existence.....
.. ..
..France.., ..Germany.., and ..Romania.. were the top three arms suppliers to Israel worth of 126 million Euros, 28 million Euros, and 17 million Euros respectively. Other significant arms suppliers to Israel since 2001 also include alphabetically Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, Columbia, the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, India, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia-Montenegro, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, and UK.....
The report also indicated the well-known fact that “Since 2001, the USA has been by far the major supplier of conventional arms to Israel” It also stated the logical conclusion that “Put simply, Israel’s military intervention in the Gaza Strip has been equipped to a large extent by US-supplied weapons, munitions and military equipment paid for with US taxpayers’ money” What the report failed to indicate is that Israel had violated all the US laws governing arms transfers.....
Examining the American military aid to Israel we find that since the end of WWII Israel had been the largest recipient of US aid (Armed & Dangerous Report.. ......). From 1949-2007 Israel had received more than $101 billion in total ....US.... economic and military aid. A previous Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two countries started phasing out the economic aid and increasing the military aid, and in 2008 all US aid to Israel turned into military aid only. The current MOU, singed by Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns in August 2007, has increased military aid to Israel by 25% a year for the next ten years FY2009-2018, totaling to $30 billion.....
During the Bush administration 2001-2007 American military aid to Israel came under three primary programs; Foreign Military Sales (FMS) ran through the Pentagon totaled $25.2 billion in arms sales and contracts, Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) ran through the States Department totaled $6.16 billion in weapons and equipment, and Excess Defense Articles (EDA) also ran through the Pentagon totaled $36 million in used weapons and equipment. The total comes to a little more than $31.4 billion.....
The Foreign Military Sales (FMS) provided Israel with air, missile & munitions, naval, design, vehicles, and miscellaneous military aid. Israel received $19.81 billion for their air forces that included F-35 joint strike fighters, C-130J-30 aircrafts, JP-8 aviation jet fuel, and T-6A Texan aircrafts. In missiles and munitions Israel received $2.73 billion worth of GBU-28 & 39 small diameter bombs, TOW, Hellfire, bunker buster munitions, AMRAAM, Harpoon, Sidewinder, JDAM’s, and MK-80 series. US gave Israel $1.9 billion worth of the new series (Littoral) naval combat ships, $164 million worth of troop carrier armored vehicles and trucks, and $253 million worth of miscellaneous in the form of Patriot Missiles upgrade and M72A7 Light Anti-Armor weapons. Also included in this FMS package were $350 million worth of design and construction of two infantry bases.....
The Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) program contained about three hundred different categories of weapons transfer to Israel. The main top ten categories for FY2001-2006 were $557,896 million in aircraft spare parts, $449 million in missile spare parts, $439 million in engine jet F-100 spare parts, $254 million in engine jet F-100 series (F-15 & F-16), $210 million in ship components and spare parts, $186 million in aircraft fighter F-15 spare parts, $163 million in electronics components and spare parts, $128 million in ammunition raw materials, and $120 million in training equipment.....
The Excess Defense Articles (EDC) program shipped to Israel $36 million worth of used Cobra Helicopters, personnel carriers, carrier command posts, and miscellaneous articles.....
The most outrageous American military aid to Israel is the billions of Dollars worth of refined fuel to the Israeli army. Israel’s own oil refineries in ..Haifa.. and ....Ashdod...., which could supply Israeli military with all its fuel needs, are instead producing and selling its refined products on the open market. The Israeli army gets all its military fuel from the ....USA.... through the FMS program. The US Defense Department uses American tax money to buy oil crude from Arab Gulf States, ship it to American refineries to refine it, and then ship it to Israel.....
According to documents.. ......obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, from 2004 to 2008 the Bush administration had granted the Israeli army 500 million gallons of oil products worth $1.1 billion. During this period the American tax payers were faced with energy crises and had to pay $4 per gallon of gas at the pump while Israel was getting free gas from the Bush administration. Somebody has to pay for this gas, and it wasn’t the Israelis.....
Moreover, the US provides loan guarantees to Israel so that Israel can take out loans in the international money market with lower interest rates, and if Israel happens to default on any of these loans the US will bail Israel out with American tax money similar to the latest $700 billion bailout for the American banks. There is a condition on these loan guarantees. It states that these loans can only be used to support the activities within the sovereign areas in Israel (pre-1967 war), and cannot be used in the occupied Palestinian territories. This is a facetiously misleading condition, since such loans can free other monies in the Israeli budget to be used in building illegal colonies (settlements) in the occupied territories.....
The ....US.... has three laws that govern arms transfer to other countries. The first is the Arms Export Control Act (P.L.80-829). This law states that American weapons given or sold to any foreign country can be used only for legitimate self-defense or for internal security. They are not to be used in occupational operations.....
The second is the Foreign Assistance Act (P.L.97-195), which states that any country is not illegible for any form of ....US.... aid if it engages in consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. The third is the Leahy Law (Foreign Ops Appropriations Act). This is an annual part of the Foreign Appropriations Act, and states that no aid will be given to any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible evidence that such unit has committed gross violations of human rights. Expanding their occupation of the land the Israelis had violated numerous UN Resolutions, broke international laws as well as their own local laws, violated all human rights, committed grave war crimes, and perpetrated terrorism against Arabs in general and Palestinian Arabs in specific.....
It has been, numerously, documented by Israeli, Palestinian, and international NGOs that Israel had consistently violated international laws and human rights since 1948. In all its seven wars Israel, contrary to the false Israeli/American propaganda, had initiated the conflict in one way or another. Israel had attacked all its neighbors, committed war crimes, and occupied parts of their land. The Israelis had evicted hundreds of thousands of Palestinians out of their country, completely wiped off many Palestinian towns and built Israeli colonies in their place, had stolen Palestinian farm land and forcefully controlled the economy. Israel had shoved thousands of Palestinian leaders and freedom fighters into prisons, and kept the rest of the Palestinian populations confined into open air virtual town-prisons within a separation wall.....
Attacking Palestinian civilians, mainly defenseless children and women, has become the daily entertainment of Israeli government -backed and armed extreme Zionist colonizing terrorists (settlers?). Israeli soldiers developed the sport of hunting (shooting) Palestinian children on their way to schools or while playing in front of their homes. The Israeli army is using the 1967 occupied Palestinian territories and its Palestinian inhabitants as testing fields and subjects for theirs and for the American newly developed weapons as was exhibited in Israel’s latest 22-days onslaught and massacres in ....Gaza.........
Successive Israeli governments had consistently sent their armies to massacre Palestinian civilians. Israeli army had used all types of American supplied weapons; including depleted uranium tipped bombs and missiles, DIME bombs, chemical weapons such as phosphorous bombs and conventional weapons, to specifically and deliberately target Palestinian children and women. We need only go back to the Israeli last two wars; July 2006 against Lebanon and December 2008 against Gaza, still fresh in memory, to witness clear evidence of Israel’s terrorism, war crimes, disrespect and contempt of international laws and human rights.....
.. ..
The driving force for the Zionist Israeli crimes and terrorism has been the extreme racist religious ideology of establishing a pure theocratic “Jewish” state for a prejudice- god’s chosen people “narcissist Zionist Jews” in the real-estate- brokering-god’s promised land of Greater Israel “Eretz Israel” extending from Nile to Euphrates. This theocratic dream necessitates a holy war (not the first one against the ..Middle East..) to evict and remove the original inhabitants of the land to make living space for world Jewry to come and live in this Promised Land. This is how Israelis perceive their “final solution” to their “Palestinian problem”; destruction, massacres and mass evictions.....
Although Israel has violated all EU and US arms transfer laws yet none had conducted any investigation to hold Israel accountable to these laws. The two rare incidents when under pressure the American State Department investigated Israeli violations where completely suppressed and quashed. The first was in 2002 when Israel dropped a one-ton bomb on an apartment building in ....Gaza.. ..City.... in order to extra-judicially assassinate a Hamas leader, Salah Shehadeh, and killed 14 other civilians, women and children, in the process. This investigation was quashed by none other than John Bolton, the Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security at the time. The investigation was never sent to the Congress in violation of US laws.....
.. ..
The second investigation was in 2006 when Israel dropped an estimated one million cluster bombs on the civilian areas of ..South Lebanon.. in the last 72 hours of the war, even after a seize-fire was agreed upon. This was made a top secret State Department investigation and was released to only a few senior members of the Congress such as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and “Zionist” Joe Biden, the present Vice President. Needless to say that this investigation had never came to light.....
.. ..
Israel is a terrorist entity without any specific borders. It is an expansionist colonizing regime. Its successive governments had disregarded all UN resolutions, broken international laws, violated all human rights, committed holocaustal-level genocides, and perpetrated war crimes against all its neighbors and against mother earth and against the environment.....
.. ..
.. ..
Yet the Western political power elites justify Israeli terror as a self-defense, and keep transfering more devastating arms to this terrorist entity to wage more future wars and to wreck more havoc in the Arab World. They also distort facts and describe the victims of the Israeli terror, the Palestinians, as terrorists, deny them their legitimate right to bear arms for self-defense, and send their naval war machines and serveillance equipment to tighten the illegal Israeli blockade against Gaza Strip under the guise of preventing “arms smuggling”, while at the same time shedding some crockodile tears and call for humanitarian aid to Gaza’s Palestinians.....
To the Arabs of the Middle East, Israel seems to be a military tool for the Western countries. Hatred towards these Western political regimes is the natural consequences of arming Israel. Should we keep asking “why do they hate us” any more?....

Refuting a Commentator Soofi

Refuting Commentator Soofi
Randall Kuhn has my respect for having such a fine sense of justice and fairness and for tearing that argument apart with a compelling analogy of his own. Does that sensibility come from the fact that he is Jewish and perhaps his religion has guided him as such? If it had, I wouldn't be surprised. When the muslim world criticizes the injustices of Israel, those complaints are brushed away as antisemitism, but it is not the jews that are hated, they are still the People of the Book - it is the hatred of wickedness and injustice that we see and condemn. If more voices like those of Randall Kuhn stepped forward, a bridge towards peace could be built.

Here's hoping..

Bias and prejudice has corrupted this analogy that Randall Kuhn has made. The argument is indeed torn apart by that and not his sense of justice, but a flaw in Mr. Kuhn’s character. A frequent tactic employed by those who would like to see Israel go away, is to pose as a Jew and then argue against its policies of survival. So the reader thinks “If a Jew can argue against Israel’s interests perhaps it’s OK.” Theres even this plug for Judaism, as if Judaism has ideals better than Israel’s. To brush away the Islamic worlds complaints about the injustices of Israel as anti-semitism is misleading, false and inaccurate. It reeks badly of distortion and more bias. The Islamic world since 1920 has objected to a non-Muslim state in their midst. Its not anti-semitism but anti-diversity!! The Commentator here says its not the Jews who are hated but their policies. You cannot separate these. The Arabs call the Israelis …Yehudis. That’s Jews. The emphasis is on their being Jews not Zionists. They do call Israel “the Zionist entity” because if they utter “Israel” its like recognizing the Jewish state as LEGAL. Yes theur is a hatrred of Arabs in Israel. You cannot expect anything else from the constant raids, rockets, gun fights, kidnappings, airplane hijackings, assaisinations massacres and acts of terror endured by Israelis since 1920 (28 years before the state was founded). This so-called bridge of peace seems to resembles Neville Chamberlains rather than Winston Churchills

When Israel Expelled Palestinians: What if it was San Diego and Tijuana Instead?
by Randall Kuhn

In the wake of Israel's invasion of Gaza, Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak made this analogy: "Think about what would happen if for seven years rockets had been fired at San Diego [1], California from Tijuana [2], Mexico."

Within hours scores of American pundits and politicians had mimicked Barak's comparisons almost verbatim. In fact, in this very paper on January 9 House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor ended an opinion piece by saying "America would never sit still if terrorists were lobbing missiles across our border into Texas or Montana." But let's see if our political and pundit class can parrot this analogy.

Think about what would happen if San Diego expelled most of its Hispanic, African American, Asian American, and Native American population, about 48 percent of the total, and forcibly relocated them to Tijuana? Not just immigrants, but even those who have lived in this country for many generations. Not just the unemployed or the criminals or the America haters, but the school teachers, the small business owners, the soldiers, even the baseball players.

What if we established government and faith-based agencies to help move white people into their former homes? And what if we razed hundreds of their homes in rural areas and, with the aid of charitable donations from people in the United States [3] and abroad, planted forests on their former towns, creating nature preserves for whites to enjoy? Sounds pretty awful, huh? I may be called anti-Semitic for speaking this truth. Well, I'm Jewish and the scenario above is what many prominent Israeli scholars say happened when Israel expelled Palestinians from southern Israel and forced them into Gaza. But this analogy is just getting started.

Kreplach:
The authors takes a comparison and then injects his own prejudical assumptions into the mix. First rockets were flying in from Tijuana and suddenly Mexicans are being expelled a la apartheid across the border.
What should be mentioned was that Pancho Villa ordered those Mexicans to leave their homes so he could vanqyish those pesky San Diegans. The author may be Jewish but has a limited grasp on what actually happened in 1948. Most Arabs who relocated to the West Bank or the Palestinian highlands did so on the advice of the leaders of 5 Arab Armies (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt) A few were expelled and some fled in fear. In losing the war the Arab armies created vast tracts of empty land and created Israel.
Fearing complicity in the attempted genocide of Palestinian Jews, the R=Arabs remained there. The author out of naivete ignorance or malicousness fails to mention this in his “analogy”.

What if the United Nations kept San Diego's discarded minorities in crowded, festering camps in Tijuana for 19 years? Then, the United States invaded Mexico, occupied Tijuana and began to build large housing developments in Tijuana where only whites could live.

What if the Mexicans refused to integrate these Mexicans into the rest of the Mexican population? What if they were taught by rebels groups to hate San Diegans for the lack of integration instead of the Mexicans?? What if the Mexicans under UN aegis treated these refugees poorly? What if Mexiv=cans refused to talk with the San Diegans on these issues? And then The San Diegans beat off a Mexican attack and occupied Tijuana? Population pressure then caused many San Diegans to migrate to Tijuana.

And what if the United States built a network of highways connecting American citizens of Tijuana to the United States? And checkpoints, not just between Mexico and the United States but also around every neighborhood of Tijuana? What if we required every Tijuana resident, refugee or native, to show an ID card to the U.S. military on demand? What if thousands of Tijuana residents lost their homes, their jobs, their businesses, their children, their sense of self worth to this occupation? Would you be surprised to hear of a protest movement in Tijuana that sometimes became violent and hateful? Okay, now for the unbelievable part.

And then Mexico funded extremist terrorists to kill San Diegans in San Diego, Tijuana and everywhere else. How could you keep this conflict in check? With walls, checkpoints and separation!

Think about what would happen if, after expelling all of the minorities from San Diego to Tijuana and subjecting them to 40 years of brutal military occupation, we just left Tijuana, removing all the white settlers and the soldiers? Only instead of giving them their freedom, we built a 20-foot tall electrified wall around Tijuana? Not just on the sides bordering San Diego, but on all the Mexico crossings as well. What if we set up 50-foot high watchtowers with machine gun batteries, and told them that if they stood within 100 yards of this wall we would shoot them dead on sight? And four out of every five days we kept every single one of those border crossings closed, not even allowing food, clothing, or medicine to arrive. And we patrolled their air space with our state-of-the-art fighter jets but didn't allow them so much as a crop duster. And we patrolled their waters with destroyers and submarines, but didn't even allow them to fish.

What if Mexico also built a wall and surrounded this area? Considering the violent episodes that regulary pulsed the population fed by hate refusing to talk wouldn’t you want to keep them in check until they regained their sanity. Here sanity means accept San Diegos right to exist.

Would you be at all surprised to hear that these resistance groups in Tijuana, even after having been "freed" from their occupation but starved half to death, kept on firing rockets at the United States? Probably not. But you may be surprised to learn that the majority of people in Tijuana never picked up a rocket, or a gun, or a weapon of any kind.
No you wouldn’t be surprised that the Tijuanitas were launching missiles with a death philosophy based on an extreme version of their religion and funding from extremists in Mexico.

The majority, instead, supported against all hope negotiations toward a peaceful solution that would provide security, freedom and equal rights to both people in two independent states living side by side as neighbors. This is the sound analogy to Israel's military onslaught in Gaza today. Maybe some day soon, common sense will prevail and no corpus of misleading analogies abut Tijuana or the crazy guy across the hall who wants to murder your daughter will be able to obscure the truth. And at that moment, in a country whose people shouted We Shall Overcome, Ich bin ein Berliner, End Apartheid, Free Tibet and Save Darfur, we will all join together and shout "Free Gaza. Free Palestine." And because we are Americans, the world will take notice and they will be free, and perhaps peace will prevail for all the residents of the Holy Land.

The majority of Tijuaintas were polled frequently always expressed support for the most extreme elements out of a combination of fear and hatred of those extremists and taught hatred over generations. Free Gaza is shouted but Gaza really was free all along but CHOSE war.

How come now that Hamas is fighting the zionists its because they are fanatic Islamists? What about Fatah? They fought Zionists as well and they are secular...WHY did they fight? Please, you are a victim of your own propaganda. It is a fact that you are oppressing those people. Sad fact is that many of the settlers are AMERICAN Jews. Why are you going over there to steal those poor peoples land? When you go there on TV everyone sees an AMERICAN there and not a Zionist criminal... Anyway, they are not fighting because they are fanatics. They are fighting because you keep demolishing their homes and killing their children, because of the Jewish only roads and settlements and the immigration policies that allow any Jews to come there but wont let the refugees return to their land (for which they have deeds going back generations), because you keep taking their land while you talk peace (2 incidents in the last week), because you suffocate them economically and because you continuously are degrading and humiliating them. To turn a blind eye to all of those things and say that they are fighting you for no reason is idiotic. You and people like you should be charged with TREASON because you are putting the interests of some stupid racist country before American interests and endangering AMERICAN lives. Zionists are nothing but criminals and thieves and they are, through their behavior, giving all Jews a bad name. If you care about Israel so much RENOUNCE YOUR AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP and quit giving us a bad reputation.

Is it so hard to see there are forces behind the politically disorganized Palestinian Arabs? The Arab League and their rival in anti-Zionist adventurism the mullahs of Iran are behind them. The Arab League was defeated in 1948 and revenge has been there motive since. They supported Arafat beginning in 1970 and switched to Hamas after the 1993 peace treaty.
What propells the Arab League? Saudi Arabia and its Wahabi policies. Wahabi as in Islam. The Palestinian proxy fight has been oppressing those people. Who was oppressing Gaza before the war? Imaginary Israelis? The Palestinian Arabs tried violent means to dislodge the Jewish infidels for SO LONG that a religious Zionist movement that most Israelis find alien has
invaded the West Bank. That’s karma! Right wing pressure has kept increasing their presence. Even Sharon realized they are a liability.
Sharon ended the building demolishments 2 years ago. Keep up with the program! And when you fight in an urban warfare setting, guess where the casualities will be??? Hamas with their Islamic CULTURE OF DEATH try to gain sympathy from naïve Westerners by increasing the odds of civilian deaths by firing from crowds of civilians and civilan institutions such as hospitals, shelters and schools. There are no magic X ray missiles that are guided specifically at children or any other civilians. When YOU say Israelis target children you are either abandoning logic and reason or are purposefully spreading false impressions. Immigration allows Jews to live in Israel, like French in France or Congolese in the Congo. And there are many non-Jewish immigrants. Contrast that with immigration into any Muslim Arab state! The Jews themselves are multi-racial and come from diverse places as India, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia as well as Iran, Iraq, the US, Ireland, Norway and Russia. When you go to apartheid Saudi-land there are separate highways for NON-MUSLIMS! The Arabs living behind the Green Line (Israel) for the most part abandoned their homes. They were instructed to leave the theatre of war by the leaders of the 5 Arab Armies (Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan—The Arab League Army!). They deserve compensation like ALL refugee populations of mass emigration see India, Pakistan, Greece, Rome, Yugoslavia, Poland, Germany etc. They prefer compensation but Hamas and Fatah prodded by fanatic and suicidal beliefs in the afterlife (courtesy of radical Islam) has suppressed those opinions. The Palestinian Arabs have suffered economically because they are in a state war with Israel. It has been THAT way since they set over the first suicide bombers in 1993. You fight economically in wars. They brought more suffering upon themselves, when they elected Hamas as a minority government. They elected WAR. When you have a hostile nation you build fortified borders like Israel has done. Where have all the suicide bombers gone?? The 2nd intifada brought the hardhips on the Palestinian Arab people.
Sudicide bombers killed so many people the Israelis instituted the measures at checkpoints to prevent death. Why are so many Israelis hardened to the Arabs? Because of THOSE attacks. And keep in mind the first Arab attacks were in 1920. They were repeated in 1920, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and 1948. Many Israelis remember that. They also remember when Arab nations attacked in 1967, 1973, 1978, 1982, 2006 and last December. Those werent all the attacks. Are these eyes blind? No they see all!!!

When you say “stupid racist country” your emotions are blinding you! You cannot see the situation correctly. When you say “TREASON” you invoke more emotion packed distortions. American interests are NOT put in danger by Israel but by its corporate interests, its democratic values and its position as world police. To say Zionists are nothing more than criminals and thieves is you practically shouting from a mountaintop that you think with prejudices and biases accrued from hate sites on the internet. You live by unquestioned speculation that is dogma. I am often told by Jew haters and anti-zionists to go to Israel. Its an attempt at distraction and evasion from any real arguements.

Inside the Bigot

The bigots see the Jew as the other. The other to be blamed. Of course it simple psychological projection from neurotically damaged minds, Projection means they wish to cut out something from deep within themselves. Theres self hatred here projected on to the Jews. They have not reconciled their light and dark sides. Its dirty filthy evil these people want to exorcise It’s a perpetual, never ending struggle to cleanse themselves of the unclean. They hated this part of themselves. It’s a self loathing. They percieve this essential part of their being as alien as something they can rip off or tear away. This struggle becomes externalized into hatred of the different, the alien, the Jew. They cant resolve to unify or love themselves, they cannt resolve to see a humankind included with others, The Jew, The Black, The Immigrant, The foreigner. That is damage. To futher tear at their essence they increase the damage. They begin to love the damage, the hate. They get a high at seeing suffering from hate, from division. They sense a feeling of power. They do not realize this power is emptying their soul. They are the snake eating its own tail.

The Right, the Left and the Wrong in Jew Hatred

There are idealist left wing or leftist idealists corralled (like cattle) by white supremacist operatives (Nazis and other similar flavors). If you go through anti-semitic Yahoo and google groups, Youtube, internet forums ( from the left and right- Most run by the right FOR the left) you may not be able to distinguish between the foolers and the fooled. There is a deliberate campaign by a network of right wing ideologues to bring about conditions for another Holocaust or at least a turn of public opinion against Jews and Israel! And this has been going on well before the worldwide web! Now they have been joined by Islamists (Fundamentalists Muslims) of mostly Arab background. This has created a cross cultural current of pre WW2 anti-semitic literature (propaganda) to be rehashed between Islamist and Arabist circles and white supremacist Jew Haters around the world. And Most of it was created in the USA as well as Nazi Germany then. [This may have contributed to the overwhelming atmosphere of guilt AFTER WW2 that helped Israel and suppressed anti-semitism then] They come out like clockwork in every conflict involving Israel. I notice how other issues like Tibet, Darfur, Burma, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Zimbabwe etc are ignored or dismissed. This campaign has its roots in the 19th century. They raid Jewish Yahoo groups as well as others with spam attacks. When you try to engage them you realize their composite nature of ignorant idealists and rabid Nazi/Klan advocates. Both the idealists and grizzled supremacists pretend to know to be versed in historical details but when challenged you get the idea they just read the plethora of anti-Semitic sites and barely know current events, recent history, world history or ancient history. And the hostile reaction is telling as well. Rarely do they reply in a coherent or logical way. 1. They simply dismiss facts they cant intellectually digest, in many tangential ways. 2. They simply say that cannot be true. 3. They proclaim me a liar or Zionist or Illuminati agent or Satan. (really!!) 4. They ignore me. 5. They predict the END OF THE JEWS in many different MAGICAL and BIBLICALLY-DERIVED ways 6. They will dismiss me labeling me as part of a group or conspiracy that follows orders robotically when its the JEW HATERS is unconsciously a robot of bias and hatred! (like when white supremacists call Jews….get this….. Jewish supremacists) 7.They taunt and insult me like 8 year old children (this is the most frequent and pathetic reaction) They will post any graphic or photo usually misleading or forged that will make Israel or Jews look evil. At the outbreak of any conflict with Israel involved there will be a rain of dead baby photos with text pronouncing Israeli responsibilty.
These photos will have originated with The Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanese Wars Please note that other non-Iisraeli wars will be mostly ignored by the coalition of rightist led leftists. There will be no coverage of internal Lebanese conflicts, (with their origin in the IGNORED LEBANESE CIVIL WAR.), the Algerian massacres (yes ignored massacres!!), the Polasario-Morrocan war, the African Continental wars in Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, other African wars in Liberia, Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, the Sudan, Chad, Somalia and humanitarian crises with liberation struggles in Tibet, East Turkestan, Burma (Myanmar), Sri Lanka, Southern Thailand. Islamist collaborators often try their darnest to drag the reluctant right wingers into coverage of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Kashmir. And then the discussion is given some brief attention and moves quickly back to Israel. Some like Henry Makow will pretend to be Jewish in an effort to say even Jews can be Jew haters. This in conjunction with crazy Illuminist and other tracts and histories concocted with a mixture of facts and fictions.
Yes there are many liberal left wing Jews who hold Israel up to a gleaming standard while ignoring the thugs of Hamas. You see it’s the Bibles Jews, Their spiritual ancestors How could they retalitate against attacks. They should be holy priests not soldiers. That’s devoid of reality.Im sorry to say but it’s the Republicans and their radical Christian Zionist rapturists who are insidiously doing Israel and the Jews JUST AS MUCH damage by promoting conflict, with the Arabs and ignoring reproachments with the possibility of Islamic moderates (who need protection and encouragement) Anti-Semitism has always been the expert domain of Rightists. Their thoughts and tactics are more organized here. That doesn’t dismiss the left wing Jew haters whenther independent or led by the rightists. They are quite potent but like many liberals and leftists subdivided with many divergent ideas leading to disorganization.

Palestinians appeared in the Bible as coming from Crete or its empire.== Totally Incorrect



The writer confuses the Phillistines with the Palestinians. They are totally different peoples separated by millenia. The Phillistines are theorized as most like Sea People of Greek origin who settled in the Gaza area after the Sea Peoples Wars of upheaveal in the 12 century BCE. Its been said that the Phillistines are Pelgasians who settled in the area after defeat by the Egyptians in 2 wars. The Pelgasians were just one of the Sea People Nations who were a diverse group including Libyans,and Iberians. It has been also posited that that the key to the Sea Peoples power was the bronze trade, That trade was replaced by iron technology in the 12th century BCE.
The Pelgasians origin is unknown as they destroyed the Mainland Greek civilization the Myceneans. The Myceneans had overrun the Minoans a hundred years before. The Minoans civilization has been devasted and nearly destroyed by a great tsunami from the volcanic eruption at Thera or Santorini.
The Phillistines stated conquering from the west and the coast while the Hebrew people expanded from the Judean hills in the east. They clashed in the Old Testament in stories about Samson and David among others. Eventually they were defeated by the Israelites and waves of conquest by the Assyrians , Babylonians and Persians. By Roman times they were extinct and assimilated.
Herodotus mentions visiting the area in the 600's BCE. When the word Phillistine was translated to Latin by Roman scholars centuries later it was called Palaestina. Emperor Hadrian upon defeating Bar Kochba and the Judeans in the Second Jewish War (135 CE) chose that name for the entire area to erase the name of Judea.

Emperor Hadrian upon defeating Bar Kochba and the Judeans in the Second Jewish War (135 CE) chose that name for the entire area to erase the name of Judea.
And so until the Arab conquest in 642 it was called Palestine. In that time it had become the European name for the area. The Arabs called it Lower Syria. It had not become popular name among the Arabs until the Crusades. Still it was not popular enough for the subsequent conquerors the Mamelukes and Ottoman Turks to use the term. Arabs unable to pronounce the P to this day call it Falistine. When the British Empire took the area as a League of Nations mandate it revived the word for the colony.
During the colony period Jews and Arabs called themselves Jewish and Arab Palestinians.
When the Jews became Israelis in 1948 the Arabs were left without an identity. They were not Jordanian or Egyptian and were occupied by Arabs of those states.
Just before the 1967 Six Day War, Yasir Arafat in a brilliant move revived the term "Palestinians" to mean Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza. This differentiated them from Egypt and Jordan and gave then an identity as a people and nation. Artificial but real.
So todays Palestinians are Arabs who were segregated from other nations by the Arab League as a cancer to continually fester alongside Israel
The most of the Muslim Arabs are a result of migrations of Arab tribes from Arabia from the 9th to 12th centuries across the area into North Africa, The Christian Arabs are descendant of Canaanite or Phoenician and Hebrew peoples from Amorite and Aramean migrations in the second and first millenna BCE To this add the Greek people from the Hellenistic migrations after Alexander the Great.
So many Palestinian Arabs are likely to have some descent from Jews from the time of Jesus.
