Don’t say we didn’t know: The ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem

Earlier today I posted a clip from Al Jazeera on Jewish settlers in Jerusalem. It was taken from a longer documentary that is now available. Here it is in two parts:

The title of this post comes from a series called "Don't say we didn't know" that is put out by the Israeli activist Amos Gvirtz. Gvirtz sends out short snippets of information outlining the realities of the Israeli occupation so that Israelis cannot pretend they did not know what was going on under their noses. The same holds true for the international community. Once it's too late to save a just peace in Israel/Palestine, don't say we didn't see it coming.

    How many Jews were living in Gaza when Mondoweiss was reporting on the facts on the ground there? I seemed to have missed the count. You wouldn't know what an ethnic cleansing was if someone grabbed you by your scrawny neck and rubbed your face in a pile of it.

    phil – do you actually make a living off of this shit or do you have some sort of day job? just wondering

  3. PlanetMichelle says:

    I wish if my tax money went to Phil instead of that shitcan Israel.

  4. Jan says:

    Jenny – Phil is doing a great service for humanity. It is obvious you just don't want to know what our fellow jews are doing to the people they have continuously ethnically cleansed since 1947. BTW, Jenny, the Palestinians were not responsible for the European anti-Semitism that lead the early Zionists to decide that the Jews needed to be in Palestine. They also decided that the people living on the land would have to be ethnically cleansed. Of course they didn't use the words "ethnic cleansing," they used the word "transfer." If you really want to feel ashamed of what our people did, i suggest that you read The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Israeli professor Ilan Pappe. His book is well documented and tells a story that should make any human being with a shred of decency cringe as Pappe relates deliberate purge of the people who were not responsible for the Holocaust or for what Europeans did. Jenny get your head out of the sand.

    feel free to donate all your cash to Hamas or any Islamist shitcan of your choice, lol

  6. jenny clausowitz says:

    thanks for your tired old hate-Israel talking points, lol – ilan poope has been discredited before I was born – but pali-propgandists love propping out him and the other disgruntled ex-israelis and their pack of lies….most of pali-israel hate propoganda makes me cringe – most of all the hours of pali indoctrination of little teerorist bombers, the pali dragging of dead bodies and dancing through the streets of gaza with bloody "collabarators" – any human being with a shred of decency and honesty will cringe at the plai death cult oozing with racial hatred towards non-muslims and lacking of any moral bottom

    This makes me so mad. I can't imagine getting eviction/demolition orders from my government. And I've owned my home for 20 years.

  8. jenny clausowitz says:

    palestinian racism, hatred, violence and blame on everyone but themselves makes me so mad – and I've been alive for about 20 yrs.

  9. americangoy says:

    If I recall (am sleepy and tired and pissed off), don't the Palestinians have to PAY the Israeli government for the cost of their own home's demolition? And apropos nothing, I finally blogged a bit myself. Stolen off Phil's, again, of course…

  10. Strahl says:

    Make an argument, you tool. We've already heard and debunked your hasbara bullshit time and time again.

  11. Strahl says:

    Islamist! Oh noes, Radical Islam is out to get the poor poor Jews! It's the Holocaust all over again! Never again!

  12. Strahl says:

    More nonsensical generalizations. Israeli racism, hatred, violence and blame on everyone but themselves makes me so mad – and I've been alive for about 24 yrs. See how easy that was? How about you make an argument and provide sources. Until then, shut the fuck up.

  13. jenny clausowitz says:

    This isn't Islamist mullocracy where there is no freedom of speech – so you can shut the fuck up while you masturbate about killing Jews – but I'll keep on talking…lol

  14. jenny clausowitz says:

    oh, it's the poor palis kvelling about the nakbah again—allahu akbar, allahu akbar (god is a mouse, lol)

  15. Strahl says:

    You're sick and stupid. Like I said, make an argument that makes sense and has sources. Otherwise fuck off.

  16. jenny clausowitz says:

    Dear Strahl, you can fuck off if you'd like or shut your racist pie hole, but this isn't honor-killing infested Ramallah, or Saudi Arabia where you can force women or non-Muslims to shut up with your oil-slicked dick….so please, for the sake of allah – stop trying to muzzle me because you lack the brain power to construct an argument…thanks!

  17. Strahl says:

    Wow, what a great argument! You start off your posts on this blog by saying absolutely nothing and being a typical racist Zionist and then turn around and deflect (and mimic) all criticism when someone points out your stupidity! You're not only a moron, but you're a psycho.

  18. SimoHurtta says:

    How many Jews have the Muslims killed during the past year? Certainly much less than Jews have killed Muslims and Christians. From what I have read in the news Israeli Jews "masturbate" much more about killing Arabs, Muslims and Christian, as the opposite side does. You Jenny seem to deliberately "to forget" that among Palestinians are also Christians. Maybe because it doesn't fit your propaganda purposes. Why doesn't your rabbicracy admit that. You seem not to understand that in the world are more Mormons than there are Jews so spreading hate against major religions is not a very wise strategy for a tiny religious group.

  19. Mike says:

    pretty sad that you have to resort to al-jazeera for your 'news'. if you want to do justice to your cause, at least get some nominally balanced sources. nothing about the massive arab construction in jerusalem since 1967, or their denial of any jewish claim to the city.

  20. Strahl says:

    Al Jazeera English as opposed to what? The NY Times? CNN? Fox News? They all have biases. Question the validity of the claims made in the video. Why is Al Jazeera biased btw? Because it's Arab-run?

  21. colleen daughtery says:

    jenny clausowitz, please keep your baby farts to yourself.

  22. KosherFood says:

    Always look for the AIPAC stamp of approval.

  23. Shafiq says:

    Al-Jazeera is unbalanced? The reason why Al-Jazeera came into existence and is doing remarkably well is because the US mainstream media acted like cheerleaders to the War in Iraq instead of giving impartial coverage. The journalists are given full editorial control in Al-Jazeera and there is no interference from the owners – something unheard of in most US and UK media outlets who always have a motive.

  24. MRW says:

    Al-Jazeera is superb, and I am royally pissed that the Lobby sought to ban it in this country. It was created by top reporters and producers at the BBC in the early 90s who saw a need for real news in the ME. It is the only paper/broadcast outfit that I know that has a code of ethics. Al-Jazeera knocks it out of the park. You can watch Al-Jazeera on Livestation.com

  25. MRW says:

    Originally, they were Brits who spoke Arabic.

  26. Hahahah says:

    Hasbara, hasbara, hasbara. Go cry to your mommy. You're pathetic, Strahl.

  27. Shafiq says:

    Yes, Habara – the same crap we here over and over again and we have to destroy over and over again. If you want to go into Arab-hating, at least be original.

  28. Jake in Jerusalem says:

    Look who's talking. Jenny, you can ignore Strahl, who is a racist antisemitic fool. Check out ANY Strahl postings to see proof.

  29. Jake in Jerusalem says:

    Wrong. Al-Jazeera earlier served ARAB communities who were STARVED of real news by DICTATORIAL ARAB GOVERNMENTS. The only thing Arabs could get from Arab media was PROPAGANDA. Al-Jazeera is the very clever application of MASSIVE FUNDING by PETRO-SHEIKS flush with PETRO-TRILLIONS to attack the gullible among those who already pay through the nose and behind for oil. You haven't figured this out yet. I'm not surprised. You are prime Al-Jazeera material. They love audiences like you.

  30. Ines says:

    Al Jazeera Arabic is much better than the BBC, CNN, TV5 or any other of the dozens of news networks that are available to us in the Arab world. It's much better than Al Jazeera English, as well. For one thing, news broadcasts are a full 60 minutes, which allows them time to provide context and background and to get analysis from different, usually conflicting points of view (including the Israeli and American). For another, there's little "fluff" and 'infotainment' junk; the emphasis is on the serious, weighty issues of the day. Compared to the dumbed-down ADD crap that passes for "news" on most Western networks, Al Jazeera is a breath of fresh air. It's a crying shame there's nothing like it in English.

  31. Shafiq says:

    No, I think you're talking about the various US-govt propaganda networks like Al-Hurra. Al-Jazeera has real news, which is why it's so popular and because it actually has a neutral perspective, you are annoyed by it. The truth hurts after all.

  32. jenny clausowitz says:

    Al Jezeera is "neutral" lol – relative to al qeida ……………the truth does hurt – but you won't find any on this website or al jezeera

  33. jenny clausowitz says:

    so sad and desperate you're always shilling the link to your lunatic website – do you get .003 or .004 cents per 1000 clicks? lol

  34. jenny clausowitz says:

    Done – i imagine strahl looks like that rockafella phony or the guy in austria who had kids with his daughter- lol, rabid eyes, coke bottle glasses, hammering away his hate in his mother's cellar….. we should probalby just ignorre this whole website which i saw someone funnily called mondo-lies ==== and let these jewish israel-haters and the rabid anti-semites who stick to this site like flies to shit just blogroll with each other in their israel hatred…..there are plenty of other sites for rational discussion of israel – even between non-hating left & right wingers – I'm discovering that there is little point in spending precious time on mondo – let these haters choke on their own bile — for the record, it would be just as easy to create tons of blogs that hyper criticize every brutal, cynical, hateful and violent activity of the pali lobby. the pali terror machine, hamas, plai jihad, al aksa "martyr" brigade, the global arab henchman – hezbollah and it's iranian mullah puppeteers and the rest of the anti-israel crowd….but what's the point…niether phil weiss's hate site (even if he shills at as simply "critical" of israel and it's supporters) nor a site like i just described will not bring any peaceful coexistence

  35. jenny clausowitz says:

    every time someone criticizes Islamist fanatics, lol, the terror apologists whine about spreading hate against a major religion. the CAIR crowd and the rest of anti-Israel lobby should stop defending Islamist atrocities & war crimes agains women, LGBT, non-Muslims and non-fundamentalist muslims by crying anti-Islamism ——it's embarrasing…lol

  36. hallal shit says:

    Better than the Islamist Mullah's lunatic stamp of hate and death. Hallal Aleikem ya ibn sharmoota.

  37. jenny clausowitz says:

    AL Jizzeera came into existence as another Islamist mouthpiece to spread takiya propoganda to the West. Luckily no one buys it's bullshit – especially when you see the failed Western "journalists" whores they had to line with big petro-dollars to toe the lunatic line…it's an absolute joke and disgrace, little better than the grotesque state news channels in Arab dictatorships and Islamic tyrannnies

  38. Shafiq says:

    Obviously not, which is why you haven't been able to make an argument against even one point made in this post or any other

  39. Shafiq says:

    If you're going to chat shit about Islam, please actually say stuff that makes sense. First find out what Taqiyyah means and then you'll see how stupid you look. If Al-Jazeera is a joke, Fox News is a full-time comedy channel. And talking about whores, I think you're description is more suited to all the Congressmen and women who love sucking AIPAC balls. And if you knew anything about journalism, you'd realise that Al-Jazeera has some of the best out there, which is why it irritates you and other pro-Israelis so much.

  40. Shafiq says:

    The more you post, the more you sound like one crazy neo-con. Take your anti-Arabism somewhere else, you're starting to foam at the mouth
