Remember Deir Yassin

The massacre at Deir Yassin.    The Palestinian village of Deir Yassin was attacked on the 9th April 1948 by Jewish terrorists (Israel did not exist until the declaration of 14th May 1948) of the Irgun and Lehi terrorist groups supported by a Palmach mortar unit of the Haganah, another Jewish terrorist organisation. Around 170 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were killed, with the survivors being loaded on trucks and driven off for a “victory” parade.     These terrorist groups were subsequently absorbed into the Israeli Defence Forces and have continued their programmes of terrorism, aggression and ethnic cleansing against the people in the occupied lands of Palestine ever since and the world turns a blind eye. Deir Yassin (closed to the public) in the green trees to the right of the water tower “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” (republished from Apr...

Israeli media blames FaceBook!!

http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/david-s-harp/.premium-1.680378?utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook Haaretz says: If the wave of violence we’re seeing now morphs into a full-fledged Third Intifada, blame it on Facebook.      No. Blame this "intifada",on the continuing occupation of Palestine by a barbaric and increasingly vicious Israeli occupation force. Blame this "intifada" on the illegal and inhuman blockade of Gaza by Israel from land and sea and daily airstrikes against the people trapped in the Gaza strip. Blame this "intifada" on the occupation and blockade of Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Israeli check points every few hundred yards around Palestinian neighbourhoods in occupied East Jerusalem. Blame this "intifada" on the evil Israeli "settlers" on the West Bank and the other occupied areas who build their illegal settlements destroying, infrastructure, crops and homes, and mur...

A "Demonstration" which will generate even more hostility.

https://youtu.be/b8sV1WTJbs4 Video: “Death to the Arabs” march forces its way through occupied Jerusalem Demonstration was part of the “Tour of the Gates” through the of the Old City. This video is as disgusting as it is disturbing. In many countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Jews are protected by law from discrimination,anti semitism and abuse in the media or elsewhere. They occupy a place within society that is probably unique, in terms of laws and restrictions being applied for the protection of a minority, which is not afforded to any other group or religion. However, this demonstration in occupied East Jerusalem, with the demonstrators chanting "Death to the Arabs" specifically targeted at Palestinians passes unnoticed be the western media and not mentioned by politicians who should be protesting to the Israeli government. Again, a case of "Israel can do no wrong" is the overriding factor in this countries relationship wi...

Criticism does not equate to anti semitism.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/05/14/anti-semitism_n_5323142.html?utm_hp_ref=uk More Than One Billion People 'Hold Anti-Semitic Views', Says ADL The ADL’s National Director Abraham Foxman The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, is an international Jewish non-governmental organization based in the United States. Before wandering down this cul de sac of ADL propaganda, people should really understand the difference between being anti  Jewish, and anti Israeli. The way in which the IOF behave in the occupied territories of Palestine, will naturally draw criticism and condemnation from many quarters. That criticism is not anti semetic, it is a condemnation of an Israeli government witch condones and encourages continuing occupation and excesses by the occupying forces. The same criticism would be leveled against any power which occupied anothers land and behaved in similar ways. However...

Israel is always the "victim"

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/02/massacre-marred-birth-israel-independence Massacre that marred "birth" of Israel Kfar Etzion   Peter Beaumont writes an article, seeking to perpetuate the "Israelis are the victims" myth that has been repeated by countless Israel supporters since 1948. The only incident mentioned is the one concerning Kfar Etzion on the 13th/14th May 1948. In such a biased and provocative piece of journalistic propaganda, there is of course, no mention of the events at Deir Yassin on 9th April 1948, some weeks before. Deir Yassin Belmont's headline could be applied equally to both events, but when it comes to "analysing" the middle east, Israel can do nothing wrong and is always the victim.

April 9th 1948

The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when around 120 fighters from the Irgun Zevai Leumi and Lohamei Herut Israel Zionist paramilitary groups attacked Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, Plaque In 2010, the Supreme Court of Israel rejected a petition by the newspaper Haaretz for the declassification of documents, reports and photographs concerning the Deir Yassin massacre. The court cited the possible damage to Israel's foreign relations and its negotiations with the Palestinians. Deir Yassin Memorial.

Israel has no intention of reaching a settlement.

As it happens, these latest killings in the Qalandia refugee camp, come within hours of the announcement a further construction of 1600 housing units and the infrastructure needed to develop the planned Jewish community, in Ramat Shlomo in East Jerusalem. Ramat Shlomo in East Jerusalem.   How can the Israeli's expect the world to accept the assurance that their intentions in seeking an agreement with Palestine are genuine, and at the same time continue their provocative actions?

Israel to build more settlements in East Jerusalem.

  http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.541149   Israel gives final go ahead for 800 more homes in East Jerusalem   Israel approves settlements in East Jerusalem  After yesterday's announcement of 1200 new settler homes in the occupied West bank and Jerusalem, comes this news of an additional 890 homes in East Jerusalem. These announcements, coming as the Palestinian/Israeli talks are scheduled to co mmence tomorrow, Wednesday, clearly demonstrate the determination of Israel to scupper any prospect of an agreement with Palestine. Israel is determined to torpedo any opportunity of a Middle East peace and will seek to shift blame for any breakdown onto the Palestinians. How can any right thinking person believe that the duplicitous Israeli government are acting in good faith with their constant hypocritical references to seeking a solution, whilst at the same time continuing and expanding their construction ...

Continuing settlement building in occupied Palestine.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/08/11/israel-settlements-palest_n_3740390.html?utm_hp_ref=uk Israel Approves 1,200 New Settler Homes In Palestinian Prisoner Swap Deal Illegal Israeli settlement construction   It has always been abundantly clear that Israel has no interest in, or intention of, making any agreement with Palestine. This Huffington Post article implies that the Palestinians agreed to the continued building of Israeli settlements in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners. This is far from true. In fact the Jewish Home Party leader Naftali Bennett (who also boasts that he has killed lots of Arabs during his life) would not support the Israeli coalition government of which his JHP is a part, in continuing with or even attending the Kerry inspired "peace" initiative, or the prisoner release, unless Netanyahu and the rest of the coalition agreed to the announcement of and continuation with the construction of 1,200 more settlem...

Israel: A state born out of terrorism.

   On the 22nd July 1946, Zionist terrorists of the Irgun, attacked the British administrative headquarters for Palestine, housed in the King David hotel in Jerusalem. 91 people of various nationalities were killed and 46 were injured. King David Hotel, Jerusalem. July 1946   "When I say that terrorism is war against civilization, I may be met by the objection that terrorists are often idealists pursuing worthy ultimate aims -- national or regional independence, and so forth. I do not accept this argument. I cannot agree that a terrorist can ever be an idealist, or that the objects sought can ever justify terrorism. The impact of terrorism, not merely on individual nations, but on humanity as a whole, is intrinsically evil, necessarily evil and wholly evil." Benjamin Netanyahu             

Legalising the theft of Palestinian lands.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22608104 Israeli court considers landmark property law cases   The Cliff Hotel is on a hill in a strategic location in Abu Dis, on the outskirts of Jerusalem   Israel legalising state theft of Palestinian lands. The United Nations and the "International Community" condemns the Israeli action, but does nothing.  Israel's Absentee Property Law was passed in 1950. Again the Israeli's get away with it not because they have right on their side, but simply because they are Israeli's and get away with this and worse every day. The International guilty conscience prevents any real sanction against state theft, apartheid and terrorism. Israel conducts such actions every day and then wonders why ordinary people around the world,  loathe and despise them. 

Romney seeking the Jewish American vote.

  http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/after-a-day-meeting-israel-s-leaders-romney-gives-speech-in-jerusalem-1.454386 After a day meeting Israel's leaders, Romney gives speech in Jerusalem  Romney's staff picked the 150 guests carefully. Religious American immigrants dominated the crowd; secular Jews and native-born Israelis were few and far between. Those present included Jewish-American millionaires, settler leaders like the former chairman of the Yesha Council of settlements Israel Harel, and former Netanyahu aides such as Dore Gold, Naftali Bennett, Ayelet Shaked and Yoaz Hendel. This was not a speech. It was a crass and blatant pitch for the Jewish American vote at the November election, in exchange for the promise of American support for Israel actions against Iran, Palestine and its people and anyone else who criticises or opposes Israeli aggression and barbarism. In other words, Romney said that Israel can do whatever it likes to anyone...

A new Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem.

jerusalem-mayor-aims-to-establish-new-settlement-in-east-jerusalem-1.422228  No matter what UN resolutions may demand, no matter how much hand wringing "suggestions" Clinton may whisper, no matter how much the Palestinians may protest, the Israeli aggressors will continue with their ethnic cleansing programme. The o nly "settlement" Israel is prepared to have is the one which continues the expulsion of Palestinians and the demolition of Palestinian homes and infrastructures. Shame on Israel for their barbarism and shame on the world for failing to stop them.
