Over the last 7 weeks I have been playing the part of a spectator, reading all the latest news on the various world stooges - er - stages. Since returning from holidays two weeks ago, I have had a great deal of trouble with my internet and as I prefer to work with my computer, not the one supplied me by my school, I have become frustrated with the impotence of my situation.
So today I thought: 'What the hell! Use this Chinese computer despite the fear of spyware stealing my Magic City Morning Star password to the article manager'.
I need to write! I have read so much over the last 2 months that it is all bubbling inside me and needs to come out. Take this for example. I was reading Jerusalem Post today, an article by Tovah Lazaroff and Herb Keinon entitled: Amnesty urges arms embargo on Israel
- "The Obama administration should immediately suspend US military aid to Israel," said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty's Middle East director.
- He also called on the "UN Security Council to impose an immediate and comprehensive arms embargo on Israel, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups."
- But the bulk of the text detailed Israeli actions against Palestinians in Gaza and US culpability for Israel's 22-day military operation in the Gaza Strip.
- "In 2002, an Amnesty 'expert' first confirmed the nonexistent Jenin 'massacre,' and in the 2006 conflict with Hizbullah, many of Amnesty's claims were later shown to be unsubstantiated.
Notice that "Amnesty's claims were later shown to be unsubstantiated'. The article states that despite the fact that on the 'face of it', amnesty was sharing the blame between Israel and Hamas, the fact is that they concentrate their accusations on Israel whilst ignoring amongst other things, that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
The Jenin Massacre is just one instance where the call for Israel's blood, with accusations of war crimes, was made, because so many humanitarian do gooders prefer Terrorists to Jews. Take a look at this Wikipedia article for example:
- The Battle of Jenin took place from April 3 to April 11, 2002 in the Palestinian Authority administered refugee camp of Jenin, in the West Bank. The battle was fought between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Palestinian militant forces as part of Operation Defensive Shield, during the Second Intifada.
- However, subsequent investigations found no evidence to substantiate claims of a massacre and the final death toll was set at 52 to 56 Palestinians, of whom 5-26 may have been civilians and 23 IDF soldiers who were also killed in the fighting.
Or perhaps you might try the guardian article : Israel faces rage over 'massacre' Wednesday 17 April 2002
- An Israeli government spokesman dismissed as "ridiculous" suggestions of either a massacre or war crimes. He said: "It is not at all clear why these organisations wish to investigate, given that they already seem to have made up their minds as to what has happened." He added that he could not recall "these voices of international morality" demanding inquiries into attacks on Israel funded by the Palestinian Authority.
No matter what happens, everything is the fault of the Israelis. It doesn't matter for instance that the Palestinians in general and Hamas in particular have been calling for the destruction of Israel for decades now; it is Israel that is to blame for all the Palestinian woes. It doesn't matter that the whole Arab world rose up to destroy Israel, what matters is that Israel captured and kept enemy territory.
It doesn't matter that Israel pulled out of Gaza, it only matters that Israel responds to violence with violence. Such is not the nature of peace loving people - no doubt. It doesn't matter that Egypt controls the Rafar border crossing, it is Israel who is to blame for the suffering of the Gazan people.
As Brenda Gazzar reports (Egypt opens Rafah crossing for 3 days)
- Cairo has said it will not fully reopen Rafah without the presence of the Palestinian Authority there, as dictated by a 2005 agreement.
It never matters what happens or why, for surely to God the blame must go to the Jews - oops! - sorry! - Israel.(We don't want to be accused of religious or racial discrimination. Better to phrase it as a difference of political ideology!) But never fear, Obama is here! He will talk rationally to everyone and he will get Hamas to stop screaming: 'Death to Israel! No peace with Israel!' His angelic face, dark skin and Muslim Background will undoubtedly sooth their hot blood like the balm of 72 virgins. Soon they will be saying: 'Oh Israel! Brothers! We love you!'
No my friends, I am not making fun of Baruch ha shem Obama. You only have to read the excerpts from the next article to see how intractable is Hamas, and how 'Power Hungry' are the Palestinian leaders.
Jerusalem Post Analysis: Two unity governments for two peoples By AMIR MIZROCH
- On the Palestinian side of the equation, the Obama administration will work to "create a partner for Israel" by pushing for Hamas and Fatah to reconcile. But there is bad blood, much of it fresh, between the two sides.
- Hamas no longer recognizes PA President Mahmoud Abbas; Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal has called for replacing the PLO. Hamas and Fatah haven't even begun negotiating over coalition guidelines; they're still stuck on Hamas's demands for a release of "political prisoners" held in PA jails.
- Hamas wants its supporters in the West Bank freed so they can continue spreading Hamas's influence. Abbas wants to keep Hamas in the West Bank weak so that his divided Fatah party can maintain control. If and when the prisoner issue is resolved, then the two parties can get to talking about ideological issues and coalition guidelines.
I have written many Articles on the Middle East and throughout them all you can find the references to the blood thirstiness of the Palestinian Leadership. They don't want peace, they want power. They don't care who dies, as long as they have power. They have no interest in the prosperity of their people, they just want money and power. They don't want to be martyrs and go visit 72 virgins (who don't know the difference between sex and making love), they want their young boys and girls to be the martyrs.
They don't want to stand out in the open for the sniper bullets and bombs to make martyrs of them, they want little children to do that. They don't want freedom of the press - they want control. They don't want money for the suffering masses - they want money for guns. They don't want Arab nations mediating peace agreements with Israel - they want Israeli blood.
They have a taste for power and a love of ideology - just like Amnesty International - and no one and nothing will be allowed to interfere with that. To surrender their power and ideology would destroy them. It would make of them 'ordinary citizens' in 9-5 jobs. B-O-R-I-N-G!
Live hard, die young! Blood, guts, glory and virgins beat a 9 to 5 job any day!
