RAYS OF HOPE

Israel Must End its Immoral Colonial Occupation and  JUST GET OUT!
 "If an occupation does not end unilaterally or through negotiations, there is only one solution, one state for two peoples.   How can the Jews who suffered and survived the Holocaust allow themselves to resort to such insufferable and unacceptable means against another people?"  Marwan Barghouti

Confirmed and confessed: "
Between Sept 29 and Oct 15, fifteen days in all, I killed thirty children. Two children per day." (Translated from Yediot Aharonot)    Pictures

Hunting Children Since September 2000, the Israeli army has quietly undertaken a policy (dubbed "Maximum Pain") of targeting Palestinian children to try and suppress the Intifada hoping that they can defeat the will of the people to resist occupation by inflicting high painful casualties.  Israeli army snipers have been ordered to shoot to kill (targeting the head and upper chest).  See the following articles for more info:  A B C D E F

Before the invasion of Iraq, US military units were trained by Israel inside Palestinian occupied territories on urban warfare against civilian populations.  Now that the prisoner torture photos have forced all those who pretended that did not know what was happening, to raise their voices against such abuses, more news about the depth of Israeli-American cooperation in Iraq has been exposed.  The Pentagon is using Arabic speaking Israelis from the Shin Bet to torture the Iraqi prisoners.

Occupation means oppression, brutality, and humiliation in order to break the will of those that have the "audacity" to resist the occupation.  Homes get demolished, Olive trees uprooted, and people are shot!

The Israeli Apartheid Wall is an attempt by the Zionist Likud party and other extremists to annex even more Palestinian land and establish "facts on the ground" to expand Israel's borders.  This  will destroy the lives of Palestinians on both sides of the wall.  As in every colonial occupation through history, it is the Israeli army who will decide which Palestinian is a "resident" and who has to be expelled from his home!

THE ONE STATE SOLUTION

The Thief of Amman is now the Thief of Baghdad!

Ahmed Chalabi:  The Pentagon's Puppet in Iraq, is nothing more than a convicted THIEF who embezzled the Bank of Petra in Jordan out of $60 Million, and escaped the country hidden in the trunk of a car.   In some interviews, Chalabi sings the tune that "Saddam drove him and his family from Iraq", in fact, Chalabi left Iraq in 1956 - long before Saddam came to power.

Now that this puppet has been propped up by his Pentagon buddy Doglas Feith (and other neo-conservatives at the Pentagon), "Uncle" Ahmed has setup a company with his nephew Salem Chalabi to accomplish his main objective in Iraq:  Steal even more than he stole from Jordan.

Taking Sides

In the United States, which lectures the world on human rights, democracy and the right to live in freedom and dignity, it is now open policy (no longer hidden as it has been for decades) NOT to deal in an "evenhanded" manner when it comes to the Israelis and the Palestinians.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Representative Howard Berman and several Jewish lawmakers signed a letter which said "It is unacceptable for the U.S. to be ‘evenhanded’ on these fundamental issues..."  Read Pelosi's letter   More on Pelosi's pro-Israel bias 

Is it any wonder why the credibility of the US keeps on shrinking?  The foreign policy of the greatest country of the 21st century has been hijacked by right wing neo-conservatives and Israeli lobby groups (such as AIPAC).  Most politicians and news reporters know that it is a career ending move to criticize Israel.  Now it is also unacceptable to be fair and evenhanded as well. 

America has become a sorry place when concern for the Jewish vote and money has become the moral compass of the nation.  The decline of today's Roman Empire continues... and no one is laughing more than Ariel Sharon!

The MYTH of Barak's "Generous Offer" Yet another little Palestinian boy is shot and killed by the IDF whose very name ("Defense" Forces!) is an oxymoron befitting their Moron Prime Minister and war criminal: Sharon!

Living Under Occupation

5 Sep. 2003:  Another 28 Palestinian families are homeless today after the Israeli army blew up the building where they lived.  In the meantime, Sharon's Housing Minister, Effie Eitam, innagurated the expansion the Kedumim settlement  southwest of Nablus.

These actions by Israel are routine.  Every single day, there are demolitions, trees uprooted, closures, detentions, humiliations, shootings, and on and on.  If this were to happen for just 1 day anywhere in the West, would it be tolerated?  Yet, the Palestinians have been living with it since 1948!  SPEAK UP AGAINST THIS NOW.  DO NOT BE COMPLICIT BY YOUR SILENCE!

The Imperial Bluster of Tom Delay
Tom Delay, the House majority leader, fell all over himself in his pathetic and humiliating performance at ingratiating himself with the Israeli government during a visit to Jerusalem paid for almost certainly by AIPAC.

"I am an Israeli at heart" said Delay who was expected to claim Israeli citizenship because he also considers himself to be a Holocaust survivor "at heart"!

To emphasize his loyalty to the state of Israel he labeled  Palestinians, collectively, with the obligatory "Terrorists" slogan which no doubt earned him the usual applause and votes he needs.

An evangelical Christian, Mr. DeLay is a leader in Washington of the Christian Zionist movement, a bloc of conservative Republicans whose strong support for the Jewish state is based on their interpretation of the Bible.

Are `Mega' Bucks Helping Sharon Steal Israeli Elections?
by Scott Thompson and Jeffrey Steinberg  

This article appears in the January 31, 2003 issue of Executive Intelligence Review.

 A small group of American and Canadian mega-billionaires, tied to organized crime and right-wing Zionist causes, has joined in the effort to steal the Jan. 28 Israeli elections, on behalf of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who is committed to drowning any Israel-Palestine peace process in a sea of blood. The Mega Group, founded in 1991 by Charles and Edgar Bronfman, Michael Steinhardt, Max Fisher, and several dozen other multi-billionaires, meets secretly twice a year, and, since its founding, has sought to impose its top-down control over the "alphabet soup" of pro-Israel political action committees, self-styled civil rights organizations, and tax-exempt charities. Among the Mega Group's institutional power bases are the World Jewish Congress, the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish American Organizations, and the United Jewish Fund-a recent merger of the major American and Canadian Jewish charities, disbursing annual gross contributions of nearly $3 billion.   Read Full Article

 

"The various 'generous' offers to the Palestinians - revised"



 United Nations "Partition Plan" to the Palestinians:

You are going to have 47% of the 100% which was originally yours.



"Oslo Agreement" to the Palestinians:

 You are going to have 22% of the 100% which was originally yours.



  Barak's "Generous Offer" to the Palestinians:

We are going to give you 80% of 22% of 100% of the land which was originally yours.



 Sharon's "Peace Plan" to the Palestinians in 2,000:

 We are going to give you 42% of 80% of 22% of 100% of the land (=7.4%)

which was originally yours, and this 42% will remain under continuous  curfew.



 "American Zionists" to the Palestinians:

 According to our version of the Bible you are entitled to 0% of 42% of 

 80% of 22% of 100% of the land which was originally yours.



The "Road Map" to the Palestinians that Bush envisions:

 If you stop your resistance to the occupation (which we call terrorism), and

 your refugees give up their right of return to their ancestral homes, 

 and you agree to only elect officials acceptable to Bush and Sharon, and you agree to

 lock up all your resistance fighters, and you agree to drive your cars only on roads 

 that Sharon assigns for your use, and you do not object to the 'wall' that Sharon is

 building, and you agree not to claim Jerusalem as your capital, and you agree that

 your children's school curriculum only includes courses and books approved by the

 Israeli government and you agree not to give birth to more than three children

 per family, then Sharon might consider negotiating with you on the 42% of 80% of 

 22% of 100% of the land which was originally yours.



 

Here is a story that Wolf Blitzer did NOT carry on CNN.

Is CNN becoming a mouth-piece for Israel's Ministry of Information?  While it is not as right-wing as the FOX TV Network, the impartial bias of CNN is detracting from its credibility and driving more and more viewers to seek more balanced coverage from other international networks such as the BBC. 

While every act of violence on all sides is abhorrent, CNN (aka TV Israel) spends far more air time showing repeatedly the details of Palestinian attacks while only barely covering Israel's.  Far many more Palestinians have been killed in this endless cycle of counter-attacks that the 2 sides have boxed each other into, yet Wolf keeps the focus on the Israeli victims. 

In a recent report, Wolf flew with the president of Israel on a blackhawk helicopter around Israel to pay their condolences to the families of Israeli victims.  While this is certainly a descent gesture of you Mr. Blitzer, why is it that you did not make even half an effort to pay similar respects to the Palestinian families?  Are Palestinians not human too?   Doesn't a Palestinian mother mourn her son just as intensely as an Israeli mother?  To keep humanizing one side while demonizing the other only helps prolong the misunderstanding and mistrust of all sides.

One cannot help but wonder that even if Wolf had contemplated making a similar visit in the occupied territories, his bosses at CNN (Sulzberger & Co.) and their bosses at the Israeli Ministry of Information, would have scrapped the thought even before Wolf could utter it!

Weapons of Mass Deception

Jack Straw joined the neo-conservative 'hawks' in the US administration in fanning the flames of fear and deceit of public opinion in the lead-up to the war on Iraq.  Compare what he said before and after the war:
21 February 2003: '
Some of these weapons are deployable within 45 minutes'!
14 May 2003: Asked of the need to find weapons of mass destruction... '
It's not crucial'!!!

UPDATE: 
Galloway Rejects CS Monitor Appology    FORGERIES

Coincidence or Conspiracy
:  First a Daily Telegraph reporter "finds" documents that survived the fire at an Iraqi ministry.  His luck then rises when he "discovers" that the documents "prove" that UK Labour MP George Galloway was paid by Iraq!  Not to be outdone, their sister newspaper The Sunday Telegraph had its reporter competitively make his own "lucky find" of documents that purport to "prove" that there is indeed a link between Bin Laden and Iraq! (Yawn)  Readers should note that these 2 newspapers are well known for their pro-war policy, and are owned by Conrad Black whose extreme right-wing views and blind support of Israel only sheds even more skepticism on these reports from Iraq.  The Telegraph is part of the Hollinger Group which also owns the Jerusalem Post!  Richard Perle is a director of the Hollinger Group! 
Ritter:
Galloway's A Crook - How Convenient!      How the road to war was paved with lies!
Al-Qaida links still dubious        Saddam link to al-Qaeda in doubt
Media attack on MP George Galloway aimed at smearing antiwar protests

Rumsfeld says US forces will remain in Iraq "until it is safe" - In English, this translates as "as long as we like!  You gotta problem with that?"  Such open ended engagements, like the War on Terror, were deliberately designed to have no set limits to suit the new policies of the New American Century.

Rumsfeld still advocates "Liberty and Democracy" in Iraq... as long as (read the fine print) they establish a government that the US approves of, and it is not a theocracy.  Conveniently ignored that Israel is a theocracy where non-Jews do not get the same rights.  In other words, whomever the Iraqis elect had better be a puppet to the US or else!  The US discreetly intervened in Algiers a decade ago when its free and open elections nearly brought the Islamic party to power.  Since then, Algiers has plunged into internal strife and civilian massacres.

CNN & Fox are now competing for the Pentagon's Oscar award: "Most Patriotic/Loyal Television".  These compliant media latest spin on the US occupation of Iraq and establishment of at least 4 military bases there as "to train the new Iraqi army".  Yeah, sure! 
 

ISRAEL'S WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION include all types: NUCLEAR, CHEMICAL & BIOLOGICAL.

Why is it that hardly a whisper is heard on CNN, CBS and other so called balanced US media.  These same media like to take jabs at Al-Jazeera claiming it is biased.  The actual bias is clear for all to see, and has been so for many years:  US media sanitizes reports, and twists facts in a way that is sympathetic to Israel no matter what the issue is.  While putting pressure on Iraq's phantom WMD's, and now alleging that Syria has them, Israel who has AT LEAST 200 nuclear weapons, gets away with it.

The best voice of reason against the US war mongers is that of Syria, who has again called for making the entire Middle East to be free of WMDs.   WHY isn't the US enthusiastically supporting this laudable goal?  Is it to shield Israel from any pressure?  Is it to avoid exposing the obvious double-standards of US foreign policy in the Middle East?
