Welcome to the OFFICIAL WEBSITE of
THE REFORM PARTY USA - NATIONAL COMMITTEE
REORGANIZED UNDER THE CHARTER & BYLAWS
Commentary on CURRENT EVENTS, July 21, 2006
Under the guise that the " Israelis have a right to defend themselves ", presuming that no one else has the same right,  the pro-Zionist NEOCONS of the  ' Bush regime '   have  so  far  condoned  the  Israelis initiated a bombing and strafing attack upon the Civilian populations of both Palestine and Lebanon in direct violation of the Geneva Convention ~ and doing this is a War Crime! 

Placed into effect on  21  October  1950,  the Fourth Geneva Convention binds all parties engaged an armed conflict to protect noncombatant civilians and wounded persons, and is directly applicable to the USA and the Israelis, to wit:   

                  
Article 2
                   In addition to the provisions which shall be implemented  in  peacetime,  the
                   present Convention shall apply to all cases of declared  war  or  of any other
                   armed conflict which may arise between two or more of the High Contracting
                   Parties, even if the state of war is not recognized by one of them.  

                   The Convention shall also apply to  all  cases of  partial or  total occupation of
                   the  territory  of  a  High Contracting Party,  even if the said occupation meets
                   with no armed resistance.   Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be
                   a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall
                   remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound
                   by  the  Convention in  relation  to  the said Power,  if  the  latter  accepts and
                   applies the provisions thereof.
    

Article upon Article of the Geneva Convention forbids the targeting of Civilians who are not combatants, yet by the hour news reports show the vast majority  of  casualties  filling  the medical centers have been women and children in both Gaza and Lebanon as a direct and proximate result of  the  Israeli  Occupation  Forces  (IOF) deliberately targeting the civilian infrastructure of both Palestine and Lebanon!  The IOF publicly encouraged all those within certain districts in Lebanese cities being bombed to leave  ~  but  then  openly  fired  on those vehicles trying to leave filled with civilians! 
This indiscriminate killing of civilians is a War Crime!   So too
is destroying the food, water, sewage, and electrical power infrastructure necessary for sustaining the civilian population!    

To any observer of these events, past or present, it is becoming clearer by the  hour  that  whatever  atrocities the Israelis claim or accuse anyone else  of  doing  to  them
~ THEY ARE DOING IT FIRST and  FOREMOST ~ yet all the while they try to portray themselves as the ' poor victims ' ! This pattern of propaganda since WW I I is now obsolete as Israeli news reports are increasingly comprised of emotional rhetorical outbursts instead of real time facts!  The Israeli military junta has ordered the Israeli news services to stop reporting the increasing destruction and rising casualties taking place inside Israeli occupied Palestine as the result  of  the  Hezbollah counterattacks! 

Thus the IOF only wants the world to see the death and  destruction carried out by  the  Israelis  and  not what they are receiving in retaliation!
Thus while playing  the  victim,  the  Israelis  at  the  same  time  want to appear  invincible  ~  but  their  mask  has  finally been taken off! Instead of being morally repulsed, the
' Bush regime ' has granted its tacit approval and complicity!  That too is a War Crime!       

While having perhaps one of the most modern military forces on the earth,  provided  by  the  USA, the Israelis are attacking the Palestinians who have no standing army or air force, just a Citizen Militia bearing small arms!  Yet the Hamas Militia is holding its own and holding the IOF at bay in Gaza, via house-to-house fighting!  The same goes for Lebanon, where the Hezbollah Militia is fighting back with its own portable
' Katyusha ' rockets that apparently have various ranges and are capable of hitting any target desired inside the Israeli Apartheid Wall!  So far Hasan Nasrallah, Hizbollah leader, has declared that his militia forces are not targeting civilians, but that if the IOF continues to  target  Lebanese  civilians,  then  Hezbollah will begin to target Israeli oil fields, refineries, and chemical factories within the seaport of Haifa and elsewhere! Thus this one week war is growing uglier by the hour!    

And where is the ' Bush regime ' while this mess continues to escalate? Impotent as ever!  At the recent  G8  Conference  in  St.  Petersburg,   Russia,  GW made  an  ' ass ' of himself in public  and  again  became a  national embarrassment and disgrace!   Instead  of  calling for a  ' ceasefire '  and offering to broker an end to  hostilities, as the USA has done in the past, the ' Bush regime ' adopted  the I O F propaganda line of blaming Syria and Iran for supporting Hezbollah!  Kofi Annan, UN Secretary,  suggested  a  special  UN  peacekeeping force deployed at once to secure the border for Lebanon, the ' Bush regime ' and  the Brits opposed it fearing the UN might get too much credit!      

Meanwhile the IOF is massing troops at the border to invade Lebanon with a ground force  ~  but is now not so sure  just  how  tough  the resistance  will become from  the  estimated  20,000  Hezbollah  militia,   their rocket counterattack ~ and the Syrian military on alert!  If Syria is attacked, then Iran threatens to engage on the side of  Syria  and  Hezbollah  ~  and Iran  is  now allied to Russia, China, and the Central Asian Alliance! 
Thus the Israeli ' offensive ' has become odious for all concerned...and  then  some!    

Are the Zionists and NEOCONS willing to risk an all out war  ~  and if so, then for what? 

Historically,  Syria has been the catalyst of the Mid-East for over 5000 years.To try and destabilize Syria would plunge the region into chaos ~
and with no Oil or Gas, that chaos could easily spread worldwide! Just imagine the destabilization that will take place here in America if the ' Bush regime '  tries to implement the Draft?  The NEOCONS and Judeo - Fundamentalist-Christians will wish their mythical  ' Rapture ' were indeed for real when they fall into the hands of the ' Tribulation ' of the angry mobs!      

While the world is condemning the Israeli warmongers,  along  with  the  USA,  the Brits and Saudis as the new
' Axis-of-Evil ' , the ' Bush regime ' fails  to  listen  to  the  myriad  of  humanitarian organizations pleading for a ceasefire and negotiations in a civilized manner! 

To end this recent conflict, and prevent it from escalating out-of-hand, all the Israelis have to do is negotiate an exchange of some or all of the 9800 Palestinian prisoners, including the women and children, they are holding for the one Israeli held by the Hamas militia; and the hundreds of Lebanese they are holding for the two Israelis held by the Hezbollah militia! No different than what has occurred dozens of times in the past six decades since the Zionists emptied the ghettoes of Europe and illegally invaded and forcibly occupied Palestine!    

Recent troubles that have escalated did not happen in a vacuum.
The Israelis  kidnapped  two Palestinian doctors  in  Gaza a few days before Hamas retaliated,  and the Israelis have periodically kidnapped shepherds and  fisherman from Lebanon,  not to mention refusing to provide a map  of the over 400,000 land mines they laid in Lebanon for the past two decades that continue to maim and kill men, women and children! This refusal alone is yet another on the list of offensive War Crimes!    

The one certain result of this recent conflict is that the IOF will again successfully
POLARIZE the region  more deeply and stronger against them!  Their offensive  behavior  will  implicate  current governments like the USA, the Brits, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and all others that stand idle and refuse to acknowledge or assist the plight of the Palestinians and Lebanese! 

The quagmire of Iraq and Afghanistan will only grow worse exponentially as more American lives and resources are lost!
