Organization of death
11-Jan-2009
What does Israel expect after this umpteenth bombing Lead hardened? Protecting Israeli citizens? Destroying Hamas? Has such a scenario proved to work in the past?
- Operation Grapes of Wrath (מבצע ענבי זעם), together with the Quana massacre in Lebanon in 1996 have strengthened Hezbollah and resulted in the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the south Lebanon in 2000.
- Operation Rampart in Jenin in spring 2002. Farm Lane, two months later… 2002 and 2003 were the bloodiest years in terms of Israeli civilian killings: 293 dead.
- Operation Rainbow (מבצע קשת בענן) in May 2004. Day of Penitence, four months later, in the north of the Gaza Strip …. Suicide bombings have peaked in 2005.
- The Lebanon war (מלחמת לבנון השנייה) in 2006, with a devastated country at the end and more than 1 000 civilians dead, including 30% of children … Again, Israel has destroyed for nothing. This war is considered by many in the Israeli military as a punishing defeat for Tsahal.
What do Hamas leaders expect by continuing their rocket attacks on Israel? Why this furious energy, when they receive Israeli bombs by hundredfold in return? It’s logical that a resistance movement, faced by an occupying force, looses men to gain ground. However, when the balance of power is what it is; when each rocket is followed by a flood of fire, when the action is too costly in human lives, so unproductive on the political front and so unpopular on the international level, what is the logic of such stubbornness?
It is true that the democratic victory of Hamas has been stolen, that the denial of its right to power has dangerously isolated the group. Nonetheless, a political struggle requires more vigilance and inventiveness in the case where adversity is large and resources are limited. In the case of Hamas, both are sorely missing.
Why do Hamas members feel they have to bid constantly, at the cost of their credibility and the survival of their own members? Why this obsession to remain misunderstood rather than to be understood? What do they earn by delaying the recognition of Israel? A playing card in the future negotiations? Isn’t it by recognizing the inevitable legitimacy of Israel that they will begin to exist?
On the other hand, what has the President of the Palestinian Authority gained in exchange for his complete submissiveness toward the U.S. and Israel? With concessions and handshakes, he achieved nothing more than his holding on power. He confused openness with surrender. He endangered the cohesion of his people. And, during that time, the corruption that had caused the electoral defeat of his party in Gaza, continues with impunity.
Meanwhile, what does a power like America expect by unconditionally supporting the Israeli policy? Besides a privileged relationship with a strategic partner, which is also the country that owns the biggest atomic arsenal in the Middle East? The major issue is: how the harvest of the Israeli-American policy of the past forty years is likely to confirm this choice? Three of its fundamental axes have continued to prove ineffective and dangerous:
1. The quest for political domination through the use of all-powerful military. In Iraq, as in the occupied territories, the equation did not work. Neither in 1991, during the first Gulf War nor the West Bank and Gaza one year later. Nor the past five years and the second Gulf War.
2. Unequivocal domination using the adage Divide and Conquer. In addition to its systematic policy of fragmentation and erosion of the occupied territories, there is indication that Israel feeds power to expel the dream of Israel's non-Jewish populations. Everywhere it advocates separation and dismembering of a region into many pieces.
The United States, by endorsing the policy of fragmentation fundamentally along religious lines with the risk of ethnic purification, has allowed the worst scenario where people have been coerced and forced to pile into ghetto-like cities. Is there any need to provide examples to say that the final result is the organization of death?
3. The establishment of all sorts of strategic manipulations instead of observing international law. In particular, the Oslo agreements have undermined the peace that they wanted.
How? By keeping all the Israeli settlements in the occupied territories. By continuing to have a contemptuous attitude toward Palestinians (Arabs in general), seeking concession after concession, preferring to nibble a territory - a piece of Jerusalem here, a settlement there ... what would be the result at the end? A gradual transformation of a negotiable situation into an explosive one.
If Israel and the U.S. continue to deny the unspeakable humiliating outlook that drive their policies, then despair will continue to spread from country to country. And, in this escalation, every day is a day too much. If they persist to not answer the question why a young stone thrower in 1987, has been transformed into a human bomb seven years later?, then forgotten young lives will increasingly be candidates for death.
If they persist, Gaza, the infernal prison, will be the forerunner of our future and theirs.

The New Nazis
by Zarrius (not verified) on Fri Jan 16, 2009 09:23 PM PSTThe New Nazis
Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:03:56 GMT
By Alan Hart
I have come to a conclusion. It is time to give Israel's hardcore Zionists their real name. They are the New Nazis.
Europeans and Americans could have stopped the original Nazis and prevented the extermination of six million Jews. If Europeans and Americans do not stop the New Nazis, it is likely that their end game will be the extermination of millions of Palestinians.
The American edition of Alan Hart's book, Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, is to be published by Clarity Press Inc in April, beginning with Volume One (of three with possibly a fourth) which has the subtitle The False Messiah.

The new front for world domination
by Kurush (not verified) on Tue Jan 13, 2009 01:09 PM PSTWhile our focus has been microcosmic, we need the macrocosmic as well: the Western countries begin universal wars, such as WWI & WWII, whenever their power is eroding and their economies are stagnating or contracting. The ruling classes in the West which have held on to power since the Middle Ages are apprehensive that a prolonged economic stagnation and wars of attrition in the ME might creat revolutionary climate with the inevitable revolts and riots which might end their millenial privilges of power and wealth. These wars in Gaza & Afganistan & Iraq are used as dousing the flames of revolution internally. The West has lost its de facto ownership of the world resoursces corrosively since the loss of Indochina, China, India, and more recently, Iran, in the past 50 years. Not a single engin in the West's military war machine can run without the imported fuel. They know that & we know that. So what are they gonna do? The Camp David treaty singed by that idiot Sadaat, has split the Arab front. Overtime this might change as Gaza will infuriate the Moslems in Eygpt, and either a coup or a popular uprising might evntuate Israel's worst nightmare, an armed and angry Egypt ready to come to the help of fellow bretherns, desperate for its help, in the Moslem lands. Make no mistake about it, with Russia ready to take vengeance for its humiliating experience in the past few years during which it has been bullied and lectured by the US and its NATO allies & the placements of star-war paraphernalia on its door steps, and the 1.2 billion Moslem waiting for deliverance from the Western & Israeli oppressor, the West is indeed beleagured. The next war would not be fought on some remote Island or on the Asian mainland, as in WWI & WWII but in the heart of Europe and Northe America. The West would be the loser. The world is much smarter now than in previous wars to be divided and then conquered by the West.
YouFriend,

Parviz, thank you I enjoyed the clip it reminded my youth.
War is stupid!
by Parviz A. (not verified) on Mon Jan 12, 2009 12:35 PM PSTThis war is also condemned to be a war too much. I was reading this article today
//www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1054554.html
and was wondering how stupid people can be!
Hajminator,
by YouFriend (not verified) on Mon Jan 12, 2009 11:23 AM PSTWhy are you so concerned about Gaza? These people are enucleating each other since more than 60 years and their hostilities will not break out and produce more lasting results than the previous ones. The world has turned and left us here, that's the reality.
Neo-Barbarians on the loose in Iraq and Palestine
by Zarrius (not verified) on Mon Jan 12, 2009 02:06 AM PSTChildren, who make up more than half of crowded Gaza's 1.4 million people, are the most defenseless victims of the Israel war on Gaza. Israel is “the only democracy in the Middle East”.
The Zionist Fascist army has unleashed unprecedented force in its campaign against people of Gaza, this type of brutalities was practiced in Fallujah in Iraq.
A US MARINE letter compares the Battle of Fallujah with Gaza in Juan Cole website.

Jan 9. Israel Rejected Hamas Ceasefire Offer in December By Gareth Porter*

Contrary to Israel's argument that it was forced to launch its air and ground offensive against Gaza in order to stop the firing of rockets into its territory, Hamas proposed in mid-December to return to the original Hamas-Israel ceasefire arrangement, according to a U.S.-based source who has been briefed on the proposal.
Imagine if Iran or an Arab
by Anonymous32 (not verified) on Sun Jan 11, 2009 04:16 PM PSTImagine if Iran or an Arab nation had committed such a horrendous crime in a neighboring country. The whole world, UN, Human rights groups, and all "peace-loving" groups in the world would have torn their throats shouting against such barbaric actions. Where are these groups now? Shame on them and Israeli murderers killing innocent people in such cold blood.
