Israel’s status as a pariah nation is now confirmed
Posted on June 6th, 2010

Last weekƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s dastardly murder of nine unarmed aid workers on the Mavi Marmara that was carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza by the Israelis was a war crime committed by Benjamin Netanyahu, the unprincipled thug addicted to the use of Israeli military might provided by America.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This latest display of Israeli criminality provides further proof that Israel is almost completely morally insensitive to the right of the Palestinian people to a homeland, and is impervious to the opinion of the international community.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The dead have joined Rachel Corrie, Tom Hurndall, James Miller and Brian Avery in giving up their lives for the Palestinians. None of these young men and women believed that they were safe; but they wrongly assumed, it appears, that there was a boundary of legality, or of civilisation, that Israel would not cross. They were wrong.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The nine murders come on top of the Israeli massacre of 1,400 Palestinians including 431 children in the 2008ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…”09 Gaza incursion. Israel has revealed, once again, its true face to the world.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is hard to imagine that the Jews who have been busy etching in to the psyche of the current generations of the ordinary people in the West, through narratives repeated through folklore, Jewish owned and controlled popular media and literature, an image of Jews as persecuted people could themselves display such arrogant disregard for human life, dignity and intelligence.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The international community would be wrong if they assumed that Netani-Yahoo acted alone. It appears the whole of Israel is behind him; opposition leader, head of the Kadima party within the coalition government, and former acting Prime Minister, Tzipi Livni announced that there is no opposition in Israel to the embargo on Hamas or the attack on the flotilla.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ This is not surprising because in September 1982, after Lebanese Christian militiamen backed by the war criminal Ariel Sharon slaughtered thousands of Palestinian civilians in LebanonƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, only 10 percent of IsraelƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s total population protested against IsraelƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s indirect responsibility. Only a few dozen Israelis demonstrated when the Israeli military massacred 1200 Palestinians in the 2008ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…”09 Gaza conflict. So they have form!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ It is about time that the world reminded Israeli Ashkenazi Jews that their sob stories of persecution including the Nazi atrocities that caused the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”claimedƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ deaths of ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”six millionƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ of their people hasnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t got currency any more, and it is replaced by basic human revulsion at a military that can kill nine unarmed civilians in execution style. They have now earned identity merely of a group of fanatical Jewish thugs from Russia, Eastern Europe, and North America occupying Palestine.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Israel has simply lost any remaining goodwill left to it on account of Nazi persecution. The novel Exodus by Leon Uris and the Hollywood film of the same name, starring Paul Newman for example, portray the deaths of just three Jews during the forcible British Royal Navy boarding of the American steamship ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Exodus 1947ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ that was taking 4515 Jews to the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Promised LandƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢, then the British Mandate of Palestine, as a heinous crime.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ But they seem to have lost the ability to count!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The recent illegal, thuggish behavior demonstrates that Israel has no legitimacy to claim statehood as a civilised member of the international community. A group of people permanently occupying and colonising other peopleƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s land murdering its original inhabitants, and any one else intent on helping them, does not belong in civilised company; they are now a confirmed pariah nation.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ They also need to be reminded that illegal occupation of Palestine on the basis that God gave it to their common ancestor Moses and they need to repossess and rebuild precious religious monuments in order to fulfill the covenant are an utterly racist and ridiculous myths.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Israelis, including their founders have always understood the illegality and unfairness of their totally unwarranted actions as well as the consequences of such actions: as far back as 1923, the Israeli extremist ZeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ev Jabotinsky, wrote that the Arabs, like every other indigenous people, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-view their country as their national homeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦and will not willingly agree to new landlords.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ More recently in 1986, the current defence minister who authorized the aid flotilla massacre, Ehud Barak, admitted that if heƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢d been born a Palestinian, he would have joined ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-one of the terrorist organisations.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ At the base of these atrocities is the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Gaza blockadeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ imposed by Israel in June 2007, preventing all exports from Gaza and confining imports, everything from sanitatary goods to educational material, and agriculture to healthcare needs of 1.5 million people.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Israel says the objective of the blockade is to hold Hamas ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”responsible and accountableƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ for rocket attacks on Israeli territory. But its failed, real goal is to bring down the elected Hamas government. They have only been successful in causing a human catastrophe; UN statistics show that around 70% of Gazans live on less than $1 a day, 75% rely on food aid and 60% have no access to water.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The Gaza Freedom flotilla was carrying construction materials, electric wheelchairs and water purifiers for Gaza’s people, accompanied by 600 passengers from Holland, Belgium, the US, Ireland, the UK, Greece, Poland, Palestine and Germany including the famous Swedish author Henning Mankell, author of the best-selling Wallander series of crime novels.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Israel had violated international law by attacking the flotilla: the 1909 Declaration Concerning the Laws of Naval War (the London Declaration), and Article 97 of the San Remo Manual, the international instruments relevant to naval blockades, specifically limit blockades to ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”during time of warƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢, defined as international armed conflict (IAC), between two states. Israel is not involved in an IAC because Gaza is not a state and the London Declaration does not justify such a blockade in non-international armed conflict (NIAC).

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ The only thing that was more disgusting than the Israeli murders was the the gutless reaction to it by IsraelƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s backers and other paid agents: the Obama administration dithered as usual, with Barack Obama describing the loss of life as a ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”tragedyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ and the US watering down the wording of the UN Security Council Resolution that condemned the attack. Even the usually vocal Vice-President Joe Biden issued a lame statement, saying that ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Israel has a right to knowƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ [as to] what goods enter Gaza. Biden could be in some kind of a personal bind, watch this space!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ From the British side, the brand new foreign secretary William Hague issued a statement ‘deploring’ the loss of life. Tony Blair said he was ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”shockedƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ and urged a full inquiry!

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Human Rights Watch, notorious for issuing dictates to developing country governments said: “We are calling for a credible and full investigation of the incident by the Israeli authorities”! No forceful international action needed in this case?

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas, probably after a glass of wine or three at the White House Jewish heritage event she attended prior to giving the interview, however, managed to hit the nail on the head; she told Rabbi David Nesenoff, in response to the question ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Any comments on Israel?ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ Thomas went on to say that the Palestinian people ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-are occupied and itƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s their landƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ and that Israelis should ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-go homeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ — to Poland, Germany, America ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-and everywhere else.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Thomas has simply expressed the opinion of many Jews who are ashamed to identify with Israel any longer. Sadly however, her wish is unlikely to materialise until and unless the Arabs who surround them unite to create new sources of resistance.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ How long can the modern-day Sparta be allowed to live by its sword?

    Ajit, you are an excellent writer, but what you write is relevant only to your pay master. What I observe from what you write I get the feeling you do not live in US. You get current news items from news feeds like AP News etc. If you think this is war against Israel by MARKALYS and HUMBEYS, then either your paymasters won’t allow you to write about true issues or you are naive. There are seven players in this game and Turkey joined few months ago (by the instigation of US) and made it eight. Now what you wrote about Helen Thomas is only one eight of the visible story. She was diagnosed with Dementia about 8 years ago. She is 90 years old and lives in a assisted living house. She is brought to the White house in a wheel chair. (I got this info from NPR radio news) What I deduced from today’s news was that she is in very difficult financial state and for this statement someone paid her close to quarter million dollars. She worked for Hersh news papers. She had a front row seat at the White House press room. Hersh News papers did not want to lose it. She just sat there and other Hersh news men wrote the report and put her name on the report. Everyone is pointing the finger at Hersh news papers. It is said in news circles that a competing news paper, so far has not surfaced , to show who is behind this staging. Rabbi David Nesenoff is probably involved in it too.
    I suggest you should contact your Hammas agent and tell him to invite Helen Thomas to Gaza and let her lead the attack on Israel like Joan of Arc did in France! She might succeed where everyone else has failed.
    Now to the peace shipments: Iran wanted Hammas to build a jetty in Gaza to unload military equipment. So they started to build, but as soon as the concrete came above the water, Israeli commandos blew it up. Hammas realized the only way they can transport military equipment was by peace ships and that is how the peace ships started. Remember during last stages of Tamil Terrorists war, peace ships arrived in Sri Lanka, but Gotabaya successfully blocked them.
    How Hammas took over the Gaza is the same way Prabhakeran took over the Northern and Eastern provinces. Just before the elections Hannas went from house to house and told the residents that if they do not elect Hammas they will be killed or their relatives will be killed. Prabhakeran did the same thing. Remember Hammas killing ABBAS police men? Now you know why ABBAS, a friend of President Rajapkse, wanted Israel kill all Hamas operatives in Gaza. Saudi’s and Egyptians wants the same. I can go on and on, but I hope you will get the message now. The solution you want will not happen because of my explanation of the facts above.
    Following is my suggestion how to drive Jews out of Israel, including their capital Jerusalem (Capital of Israel since historic times). Tell your Hammas friends to contact Sri Lanka and roudup Markklays and Humbayas from Eastern province. Sri Lanka should give their houses to Sinhala settlers. Tell them that they are going as freedom fighters to Gaza. Arrange a flotilla of ships fill them with dry fish and rice, hide the Marrakalays at the bottom of the ship and then, dump in Gaza. Each ship carries 500 Markalays if you get 100 ships, then Hammas will have 50,000 strong army. Using helicopters drop about 1,000 suicide (or homicide) on various places in Israel. At the same time remaining Markalays should made to charge in to Israel. When this happens Israelis will get scared and run away to Poland and Germany, as Helen Thomas wanted. In this way one is killing two birds with one stone. Sri Lanka got rid of Markala population in the Eastern province so that the majority is Sinhala in Northern and Eastern Province and Hammas has an army. See how Sinhala are blessed to have Mahinda Rajapkse as the president. He even got his name to a road in Palestine. After that he sent then Prime Minister Rathnasiri Wickramanayake to Israel and brand Hammas and Hisbulla as terrorist. He then reiterated the right of Israel to kill terrorists.

    I too can’t believe why Ajit glorified 89 year old Helen’s racist verbal attack that ended her career. It is a racist remark and we should condemn it no matter who said it and who were the intended victims. When a small country struggles to keep its boundaries safe, others should support it, not oppose it. When activists from 20 countries gang up on one country, it is certainly not fair to condemn it for self defence.

    Talking about poor Israelis hard done by? Read this from the Daily news.

    “Sri Lanka strongly condemns the Israeli attack on a ship carrying humanitarian (food) aid to the Gaza region in Palestine and wished to express its deep shock over this incident, External Affairs Deputy Minister Geethanjana Gunawardena said speaking on an adjournment motion tabled in Parliament Wednesday.

    National List MP A. H. M. Azwer who tabled the motion said on May 31 morning Israeli Commandos attacked a flotilla of ships carrying 10,000 tons of medicine, food, pre-fabricated houses and other essential goods to the 1.5 million Palestinians suffering in the Gaza strip as it approached the Eastern Mediterranean sea earning the strong condemnation of the whole world.

    The whole world has condemned this atrocity. The Prime Minister of Turkey described this as ‘state terrorism’.

    Sri Lanka as a member of the UN and a non-aligned country always condemned such attacks. Countries should join hands to punish those who have committed this crime. “I propose that the Resolution No. 242 and other resolutions for world peace should be activated forthwith and the Jewish state asked to strictly abide by them.”

    Ratnapura District (UPFA) MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara said Israel is following an arbitrary and stubborn course of action tarnishing the world civilization. They have denied freedom to the Palestinians as the world watched helplessly.

    “Time has come for all to join forces to rise up against Imperialists. Palestinians had been our friends from ancient times.”

    Kandy District (UNP) MP Rauf Hakeem said they were strongly opposed to this Israeli action. “This is not the first time Israel had acted in this manner. What would have been the position today if a country like Iran acted in this manner.

    If so the US would have at once invaded Iran. We should not only condemn the Israeli action but also the US stance on it.”

    External Affairs Deputy Minister Geethanjana Gunawardene said Israel had launched this attack in international waters.

    Sri Lanka condemned this attack with abhorrence. Sri Lanka expressed its opposition to this attack at the United Nations in Geneva. Sri Lanka has maintained close relations with Middle East countries including Palestine for a very long period.

    Palestinians should be enabled to enjoy peace. We express our deepest sympathies to the families of those who died in this attack and wish quick recovery to those injured. Among the dead are two Australian citizens of Sri Lankan descent.

    National List MP J. R. P. Suriyapperuma said Turkey played a vital role in Middle East affairs.

    Don’t think you’ll change Kitul ‘cos US Jews have lots of dollars!!

    Hell for you.
