Israel’s Zio-Nazis And Palestinian Jews
GRIM stuff from Israel and the Gaza Strip. This is war. And war is never pretty. Hamas is the underdog, and the world likes those. When Israel was weak in 1967, it was cheered. Now Israel is the stronger side and tolerance will be tested.
The killing must stop. But do both sides want it to?
Israel must know that none of its operations have brought about peace, nor stopped attacks on it lands and peoples. And the Palestinians and their sponsors must realise that acts of extreme provocation create only casualties, many innocent.
The Jerusalem Post’s Khaled Abu Toameh wrote of a leaflet dropped by Hamas’s armed wing, Izzadin Kassam:
Boasting that it had fired dozens of rockets and mortars at Israeli towns in the past few days, the group pointed out that Israel was “hopeless and desperate” because it doesn’t know what to do to stop the attacks.
“The enemy is in a state of confusion and doesn’t know what to do,” the leaflet read. “Their fragile cabinet has met in a desperate attempt to stop the rockets while thousands of settlers have found refuge in shelters which, by God’s will, will become their permanent homes.”
And most of us only see the war through the media filter. And what does that tell us?
SKY: Hamas Condemns Gaza ‘Massacre’
Or: Hamas condemsn massacre - for not killing enough children and being too targeted on it’s infrastructure and fighters?
This news comes with a picture, the by now familiar shot of a dead or injured child being carried by a man. Does anyone in their right mind, with no vested interest believe the Israelis deliberately target children? What is the purpose of the image?
A spokesman from the Israeli embassy in London tells Sky News:
“They have enough time to evacuate civilians from those places but they don’t do it. They didn’t do it on purpose because they want Israel to cause them civilian casualties.”
The Egyptians agree. But Hamas wants more blood to be spilt.
Khaled Meshaal called for Palestinians to wage a new intifada - or uprising - against Israel. In an interview on Al Jazeera television, he said: “We have called for a military intifada against the enemy. Resistance will continue through suicide missions.”
He a bit like one of those First World War Generals directing the lads into certain death with a point of his stick and God on his side.
And who are his chosen martyrs? This guy on the left?
And what of the images chosen, and often provided by Hamas?
The Times leads with images of two children throwing stones before a wall of fire. They could be Israelis. But we are now familiar with the polemic, and know them to be two pre-pubescent Palestinian children egged on by their parents and guardians.
The stones look pathetic, but when backed up rockets and Iran’s money, they take on a new menace. Using children as soldiers is sick.
Same picure on the Telegraph’s cover.
But it is the Guardian which really nails it colours to the mast, leading with the image of a dead girl being held aloft by a bearded man. The girl’s head is exposed. Her body is wrapped in a flag. The child’s body becomes a political tool.
Mick Hume wonders:
To make sense of a conflict in which both sides claim to be victims requires more than an emotional response to gory pictures. I support the Palestinian right to self-determination. But I am disturbed by the rise of anti-Israeli sentiments in Britain and the West, as when my old friends on the Left declared: “We are all Hezbollah now.”
Indeed. Dislike of the Jews is never far removed from many people’s view on Israel:
“The Israelis I met bear no comparison with the caricature of expansionist “Zio-Nazis”. “
Nazis. In London, protestors carried signs lamenting the “Holocaust” in Gaza.
It’s is not. This is the language of total war, undo the enemy and pervert their darkest hours into your own suffering.The Palestinians are the Jews of Europe?Hamas wants to woo the West. So what about this?
Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seems to have noticed.
On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari’a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion.
Hamas’s endorsement of nailing enemies of Islam to crosses came at the same time it renewed its jihad.
And the world reacts how? How do you react?

If your entire social group was nearly wiped out for being ‘effeminate and rootless’ (to quote the anti-Semites) - wouldn’t you want an army and a homeland? They’re not living to make some gentile European liberal happy - they’ve got their own problems.
And Israel is nothing like the Nazis - they want the land - they don’t want to murder every Arab or Muslim in the entire world.
And since you’re not interested in how or why Israel behaves the way it does - what’s your humanitarian solution? Push them into the sea?

Daoud Kuttab in the Washington Post today posits that “In its efforts to stop amateur rockets from nagging the residents of some of its southern cities, Israel appears to have given new life to the fledging Islamic movement in Palestine”
5,000 of these amateur rockets in the past 12 months, and getting more professional all the time as Iran and Syria improve both the quality and quantity of supply. If they are proportionately ineffective, it’s clearly not for lack of intent. Why do you think the Israeli’s should be condemned to live with this?
Palestinian Ambassador Manuel Hassassain was defending the Hamas rockets back in July as being the only weapon a disenfranchised people had to make their voices heard – nothing was heard then of that Eurolegalistic phrase beloved of the BBC – Proportionate Response!
Even the placatory Ban Ki-Moon reports only 60 civilian casualties after 7 days of bombing. Everyone a tragedy, but hardly the indiscriminate mass murder the BBC so emotively evokes. The one trump card Israel holds is that it is militarily stronger than its neighbours. The proportionate response was staying its hand for a full year of ‘nagging’ by an avalanche of ‘amateur rockets’.

wow i always wondered about this site
…………………………………………………………………….
This is just a long-running neighbourhood dispute for goodness sake - it’s not a serious War!
If you think this is serious - go and talk to the Ukraine about the current gas supplies
- and then have a word with Russia and China about it all - That’s gonna be a proper War. You will see some serious anti-Semitism then! And anti-Arab and errrrrrr ……. anti-Europe, anti-US and anti-Antpodes.
This will sort the men from the boys …….. And if anybody is pretending to be a transvestite - Gawd help ‘em

If you want unbiased coverage you should go to the BBC sites. Bring your own Teddy though, they may have run out

wow i always wondered about this site
Now you show your really colours linking to far right extreme Arab/ Muslim hating sites like LGF
And you claim to be satirical? These articles are deeply unfunny and ludicrously partisan
Anti-Semitism against Arabs is funny
Anti-semitism against Jews isnt
What are you , the comedy wing of the BNP/IDF?

Gaza is a bit like a horrid neighbourhood dispute where everything has got too much out of hand.
I have to say that if two households believe that a plot of land is part of their garden and neither side wants to relinquish it - then we have a case where no Court, no Tony Blair and no Kofi Annan can do a fucking thing about it - ever!
So we should just carry on letting them fight amongst themselves whilst we get ready to do the more profitable and serious stuff and prepare to invade Iran and Indonesia. It may take another few years before we are ready to invade Iran - but that’s the plan - and we have to stick to it.
Buggering about and deviating resources to Gaza is of no use to man nor beast. If people want to fight about principles and a bit of sand - that is up to them and we must respect that.
It’s the New World Order you see - and it’s errrrrrr ……. in the Bible.

I don’t really see Hamas killing children, like every other day, or them breaking Human Rights codes, or the 4th Geneva convention about military operations in Civilian areas. I don’t see Hamas killing 10 for 1 or like in this case no one to about 200 before one of those rockets claimed an Isreali, BTW, 10-1 reprisals were indeed used by the Nazis, as was Ghettoisation and using strategies of provocation, taking away of human rights and etc under the guise of Anti Terrorism (v. Lubbe burning donw the Reichstag with help, the assassination of the Ambassador to France, which was the excuse for Kristalnacht). and neither does Hamas or Palestine have 67-odd UN resolutions against them, because if they even had one against them I’m sure that they would indeed be thrown into the sea at last.
So I’m not really worried about those Crucifixion posturings. I understand that our Liberal sandal-wearing hand-wringers are a bit blinded, but this time they might have a point, hence the global (except for US of course) consensus that this is disproportionate and indeed a war crime under the 4th Geneva convention.
So lets hope that Kadima wins that vote then over the deaths of these Arabs.
BTW, another parallel might be the fact of how Israel views its Arab “Problem” which looks remarkably similar to how the Jewish “problem” was viewed by the Russians and Germans in the late 19th and in the 20th Century.
I’m sure that the solutions, similar as they are to each other, and just as final will not work, just like the other times and in fact make worse problems later on.
Cheap analogies you say, sick ones? Indeed there is not much of a comparison since what makes what Israel does even worse is that they know what it’s like and in living memory too. To turn around and do it to others is even sicker, IMHO.

Really its not much different to Northern Ireland , just bigger and more dead…the whole thing is a great human tragedy
Karen try red wine and keep turning left , you soon find your way around the site, or maybe white and keep turning right

I found a page with recent comments and twitterings at the side….
Oh, Anorak - can’t you bring back the olden days….

And, of course, it works.
On the other hand, as far as I am aware the ability to get out of Gaza is non-existent, which suggests the Israeli spokesman quoted above either thinks we are all idiots or believes that it really doesn’t matter what we think, or both.
Same old, same old…

They use pictures of dead children to get their readers angry and to make them follow the story - same as baby P but for snobs.

The conflict always happens over the Christian Xmas time.
The men of God over here are more concerned with the damage done to the financial world.
Is this session as a direct result of Tony Blair being the Peace Ambassador?
Legalising crucifixion? Sharia law goes too damn far, no doubt some pundit here will propose it too
