Joseph Dana from Ibn Ezra sent us the following:
I just shot and edited a video (see below) of what happen today in Safa in the
southern West Bank. Ta'ayush went with about thirty Israeli and
international peace activists to help the farmers of Safa work their
land. As soon as we arrived we were attacked by settlers throwing rocks
at us. Then the IDF came and arrested 7 activists and did not so much
as ask the settlers to leave. The activists were later released because
the soldiers had violated a Supreme Court ruling from 2006 that states
that the IDF must protect the farmers of Safa from settler violence.
But the damage was done. This is what Haaretz had to say about it this afternoon.
We later went to hilltop 18 which is the site of the Op-Ed that I published in Haaretz.
The IDF quickly ordered the zone to be a closed military zone meaning
that all civilians must leave the area or face arrest. We were removed
and the settlers at the outpost were not. Clear violations of Israeli
law.
A huge thank you to all the activists. May God bless you.
The IDF has carte blanche in the West Bank; they are officially above the law. The lawlessness clearly comes from the top down, the soldiers don't even care that they are being filmed. We need more videos like this.
Fundamentalist hooligans.
A technical note to Joseph Dana on the video: I found the graphic cards to be up for too short a time to be able to read them fully. If you could extend those a little bit it would be helpful. Otherwise, good work. Thanks for all your efforts.
Good work on the video, Joseph, and to Ta'ayush and all those involved. Actions like this are immensely important to the greater cause. Nice catch with this exchange as well: Activist: "According to the law you have to remove the settlers!" Soldier: "The law does not interest me"
RE: "Ordered to protect Palestinian farmers, the IDF protects Israeli settlers instead" FROM “THE INDEPENDENT” (U.K.): “Jews protect Palestinians in harvest of hate” – By Donald Macintyre in Awarta, West Bank, 10/10/08 Israelis cross religious divide to shelter olive farmers from settlers’ attacks (excerpt) …Last year, she was in a group in the South Hebron Hills confronted by settlers who fired shots from a pistol and an M16 assault rifle, despite the presence of the army and police. “Then one of the soldiers said, ‘Look, one of them is coming down with a jug of water for you’.

Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss and Mujahid Adam Yehiye Gadahn Azzam (the American) explain the intrinsic evil of Zionism.
Tough Jews in action….a refreshing change from the image of the Jew in the distant and not so distant past.
Jewish thugs terrorizing peasants is nothing new. Azef and Gershuni were responsible for a tremendous number of murders. And I have to mention the Jewish assassins of Czar Nicholas I, Pyotr Stolyn, and Czar Nicholas II along with his family. I had a long conversation with Lev Kopelev about the tough NKVD Jews that relished carrying out executions and about the Soviet Commissars, who seized grain from Ukrainian peasants even though they knew it would be a death sentence. He had been one. At least he felt guilty. The vast majority of Jews never show acknowledgment, remorse, contrition, or atonement for the heinous crimes that have grown out of internal Jewish politics and culture. The Pattern of Ethnic Ashkenazi Genocidalism
You like stereotypes, bar-kockba? I understand, they do away with any pesky need to think about consequences. So tiresome to have to work through contradictions and confusion, most of all, to have to question ideals that require the slaughter of innocents in the name of religion.
OT :Yemeni who killed Jew gets death sentence Court initially ruled that murderer of Moshe Yaish-Nahari was mentally unstable, but victim's father appealed verdict http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3734556...
The 'settlers' in the film are all wearing white, with white face masks. This a very organised attack. And the attitude of the IOF is very telling. This is salami slice colonisation to a T. Thanks for posting the video.
Gee you mean there was a reason (other than anti-semitism as disease or mental defect) why the peasants rose up against the nobles and their jewish minions? God forbid.
The "settlers" look a lot like Palestinian thugs in those masks. Wonder if they were not just another group of Pali "activists" working another misinformation "action" Pali terrorists have butchered dozens of innocent civilians dressed as Jewish Israelis.
"Tough Jews" is always how we referred to Jewish gangsters and criminals, when I was a younster back on LI. And for Bar Kochba they are heroes. And if he can get up out of his wheelchair, and go without oxygen for a minute, old Kochba would be a tough Jew, too! What a laugh, "tough Jews".
When your birth rate is well below replacement rate, and more, many more people grow up to dispense with Judaism than embrace it, and your total entire world population is enough to barely fill two cities, I'm not sure bragging about your "toughness" is the right course. But you keep at it, Kochba, and when you are old and infirm, lots of young "tough Jews" wil gaurd your wheelchir while you shout insults at the schwartzes. There is nothing like the ziocaine. It must be the best high in the world, the way it effaces reality.
yea, and i guess the folks wearing the idf outfits are pali thugs too… good luck ignoring reality..
Bar Kochba doesn't have to worry. He will always be young, fit, healthy and rich.
Yes that was revealing. The settlers believe that state law does not apply to them, they only believe in god's law. This likely reflects what many have been reporting is the penetration of the settler ideology into the IDF.
Not in Israel though.Israel only has the death penalty for crimes against humanity. The only person executed in Israel was Adolf Eichman. And before you haters start blathering, people killed in battle, or killed because they cannot safely be captured (see "the Engineer", Palestinian bomb maker killed by a booby-trapped cell phone, "press 7 to explode") aren't the same thing.
You know, you're all right. We Jews have a lot to learn about peace and brotherhood from the Arabs, why just today, Iraqi Sunni Arabs blew up 60 of their brother Iraqi Shi'ites in Kirkuk. Then there were the other tens of thousands of Iraqis who have been slaughtering each other in recent years, the 100,000 or more Agerians who were killed in a mutual bloodbath there, also in recent years, then there was the Lebanon civil war with tens of thousands of dead, then there were there mass celebrations in the Arab countries in the wake of 9/11, then there was the street party when the "democratic" HAMAS people threw manacled FATAH prisoners off a multi-story building and the crowd below tore their bodies apart (I wonder if Phil's HAMAS hosts took him to see the site?), then there was Nasser's use of poison gas against his Arab/Muslim brothers in Yemen, then there was Hafez Assad's slaughter of 20,000 of his fellow Syrian Arab citizens in Hama. Yes, President Obama is on to something, the Arab world has a lot to teach the world about tolerance and brotherhood.
Yeah, let's paint Jews as macho men a la the old Superman et all comixs; the difference is, the comics were just that; the Israeli IDF is not a comic book; the Palestinians actually suffer. The Germans too liked their Aryan warriors. And what they did was real. Now we have bar_kochba132 (note the biblical pen name) bragging about how the Jews copied Hitler. Worse, we Americans are forced to pay for it.
If Israel had the death penalty for crimes against humanity (as per Nuremberg Trials and Geneva rules), Israel would be executing its own leaders. Eichmann was taken by ignoring another nation's sovereignty; perhaps we should start kidnapping Israeli leaders and putting them on trial by the international court. BTW, Israel murders Palestinians simply because they speak up as leaders for the Palestinian resistance, including those duly elected to office.
Yikes, check out the history of Israelis posing as other nationalities in how many false flag attacks? Israel copies Hitler in that respect also.
I see from your comments, Mooser and Bar_kochba132, that you are both really struggling with what being a chosen Jew means in reality. I suggest you focus on yourself as an individual human, less on being part of a group given orders by God. Of course, that POV would be anti-semitic; indeed, anti-Judaism.
Indeed, Palistinian thugs / terrorists occasionally wear IDF uniforms in order to discredit Israel – a typical jihadi tactic….
Palestinian thugs / terrorists routinely copy Hitler in their anti-Semitic rants and their Israel and Jew bashing cartoons.
Fruitcake. Hamas spokesmen make very profitable careers – and Israel doesn't "murder" anyone. Hamas' greatest fears are from Fatah,, Yasser Arafats old loyalists… Hamas andFatah have been murdering each other for years. ANd YOU accuse Israel…
is that what you are saying here? your logic appears impaired…
"I just shot and edited a video…" I don't think that's really sporting. I refuse to use anything but a cross-bow when hunting videos.
I just watched the video. It is soooo phony. I won't tell you what mistakes you made (youll make them again) but the rock-throwers were most definitely ARAB and not Jewish. In this incident, what you failed to also point out is that several Israeli soldiers were moderately hurt by your rock-throwers. Peace activists? As for the Arab "farmer", these are weekly riots that "peace activists" stage every week. In violation of military orders, they challenge the soldiers to do something about it – and when they do, they make a Youtube video of it. This is as cheap and meaningless as your other infamous video. Hey if you really wanna be brave, try and do this in Iran or Iraq. This week! Or how about even NYC. The NYPD would have knocked your teeth out so fast, you wouldn't be able to read the court order that approves the police action. This is such a cheap (and phony) video. Typical MondoLie.
Oh, nobody's asking you to learn from "the Arabs", but that does beg another question: If you want to avoid them so much why did you go through all that just to live as close as you can to them? Gosh for people who disparage Arabs the Israelis sure insisted they could live nowhere else. Mysterious, isn't it.? Anyway, you don't need to learn from the Arabs. We'd just be happy if Israel tried to uphold the conditions under which the UN granted the "Jewish State" its life. Is that too much to ask. But then again, since you have no intention of going to Israel and living there, the only thing we are learning is your obnoxious, ziocaine-induced passion for vicarious brutality.
Pallywood strikes again – the boy who cried Wolfowitz – lol
" The vast majority of Jews never show acknowledgment, remorse, contrition, or atonement for the heinous crimes that have grown out of internal Jewish politics and culture." You should demand an apology from Phil! He's so willing to serve as a conduit for your views, there's really no reason why he doesn't explicitly endorse them.
I just want to thank Mondoweiss for providing a forum where Jake from Jerusalem and ThorsProvoni can have their views propounded, day and night, at Mondoweiss's expense. And to congratualte them both! Between the two of them, they have driven away all the other commentors! And all at Mondoweiss's expense. Gosh, all that's missing is for Phil and Adam to explicitly endorse their views. Why leave us guessing, Phil? Are you prepared to apoligise or make restitution for the age old crimes of Judaism, as Thors asks? How you feel about Jake I have no doubts; Jake just needs a little prod in the right direction, and his natchural Jewish compassion will take over! Mondo, you really need to talk to JSF about comments.
Or maybe I should go read about "The Zionist Gang that Brought Down General Motors" I would have thought Zionists had it in for Ford, not GM. By bringing down GM the Zionists strengthen the hand of a famous anti-Semite and his heirs.
No surprise here… there have been several cases where Palestinian thugs/terrorists have dressed like IDF soldiers in order to butcher Israeli civilians.
The only copying of Hitler is by Palestinians and Arab media who routinely recycle Gobells-like propoganda demonizing Israel and Jews using some of the images verbatim from Nazi media circa 1939. (some of which can be found by commenters on this site who frequently smear Jews with talk of worldwide Zionist cinspiracies, media domination and the like)
I'm much more concerned with the fundamendalist hooligans of Palestinian Jihad, Hamas and Al Aksah martyr brigade.
that's an off topic post – but one extremist shilling the wrtings of 2 wingnuts is rather amusing
Even if you do not happen to belong to one of the corrupt Jewish Zionist social networks in the finance industry, they are quite real. When I consult on Wall Street, I am always asked whether I am Jewish to determine whether I should be recruited. And yes corrupt German American Jewish social networks existed in Henry Ford's day and they pissed him off. The history is a lot more complicated than you seem to think — as Hannah Arendt was wont to point out: Was Fr. Coughlin an Anti-Semite?
Bar Kokhba had a bad end.
The logic of supporting a Zionist territorial claim based on the etymological connection of the word Jew to the word Judea would give Irish Roman Catholics the right to steal and ethnically cleanse Rome because the word Roman is morphologically derived from the word Rome. In other words, Zionism is so extreme that it is psychotic, and the failure of Americans to show any awareness of inherent Zionist extremism strips the term "extreme" of any legitimacy in US political discourse.
Hey! I was just ranting on Jewcy the other day how Jews (specifically American ones, but only because I know them a little better) view Israel as surrogate revenge on the pogromists and Nazis. Nice to be validated.
Because if the holy land was in Rhode Island, what the fuck would you have to work with.
And there would be plenty, don't get me wrong.
I found this section of Joseph Dana's Op-Ed piece in Haaretz extremely interesting, and contrary to what we read elsewhere: "The settler movement is not as strong as it is portrayed in the Israeli and international media. Without the active and passive support of both the government and the armed forces, the settlers' efforts would be rendered useless. Without it being possible to freely document and expose these matters, Israel's government will continue to use the image of the settlers as a cover for its own overt policy of support for settlement creation and maintenance in the West Bank. " I have tremendous respect for Dana and the rest of his group.
This is a crazy place where we see super zionist racist like Jake (and others before him) and good old fashioned antisemites like Thors, Ed and (Samuel Burke?) blaze away at each other. But then there are many thoughtful and moving comments by real humanists that appear also. I keep coming back.
So are you Jewish?
I prefer the Zionists to the anti-Semites any day, lol.
Irgun (Jewish militant nationalist group) dressed up as Arabs and blew up a market. An Irgun coward rode into a market and asked a store owner to watch his basket while he went to do soemthing and when he was at a safe distance the bomb exploded. Killed most of the people there. These tactics in the Holy Land were initiated by the Jewish Zionists. Suicide bombing by the Palestinians began in 1994. If we are going to compare violence, between the Jews and Palestinians, then Israel loses big-time. Not only that, but when we compare the other kind of daily violence, the Occupation, Israel loses. So by all means, bring up violence. In every single sense of atrocity, Israel loses 10-fold.
The IDF cowards and settlers have no right to the land anyways. They are colonizing the W.Bank and Gaza and E.Jerusalem. Most people agree on that – including the ICJ and World Court. Racist fascists like you and your sockpuppet accounts cant lie anymore effectively. Go away.
How is Joachim antisemitic?
Israel won't get rid of them, someone else will have to do it. I suggest sending the US Marines. You can imagine what the Marines would do with those 'brave' IDF guys whose only fight in recent years against anything but women and children was with Hezbollah who handed them their asses.LOL
Only cowards brag about how tough they are. Because they are as the saying goes in Texas, all hat, no cattle.
testing
jewish
what is it that gets my reply to this post modded?
What, Mooser, you didn't like the exposure of Madoff and associates with the Israeli bank? The Israeli bank's deposits in Switzerland? The way the zionists made it hard to get credit for a potential GM product buyer, so that the stock price went down, enabling takeover, now bailout–all at US taxpayer expense? Methinks you need to get your aged tired body and head onto your fake motorcycle and get some wind across your senile skull. And no, those shikas are not waiting for you along the highway.
You have a good point. GMAC was a tool for what you describe.
Ah but the IDF punks would have the latest Marine plans in a jiffy, and they'd be better armed with US latest weapons, tailored to specs furnished by Israel. Just another privilege afforded our special friend.
international legislation acknowledges the right of occupied people to use force against their oppressors, both inside the occupied territories and outside them. Based upon the principles of the Hague International Convention of 1907 and confirmed in the Nuremberg Tribunal after World War II. What's religion got to do with it. If you were in a crowd and you heard "allahuakbar" you would run like hell wouldn't you! Ha! republican!
Anywhere there are "Israelis" in Palestine is occupation.
Your Zionists came straight from Hitler's lap to the Arabs and have created a rogue nasty evil statelet by theft and murder, not the other way around. Not talking about Jews here either. Authentic Jews are opposed to Zionism. FYI.
Correction: there's no such thing as Palestinian suicide bomber. The Arabs are martyrs, they commit martyrdom. Everything the Arab (Hizbolla, Hamas, individuals etc) does is on his own land fighting the evil invaders. So the Arabs can't be considered terrorists or suicide bombers.
Authentic Jews are opposed to your lies & hatred, lol.
black is white and night is day and there are no Pali suicide bombers or gays in Iran….1984 lives on in the putrid pen of pali propagaqndists…
Strahl, Israel has abandoned the Gaza Strip ENTIRELY. You are still screaming about "colonizing Gaza". Don't you know ANYTHING? As for racist fascists, you are funny one to use that term… :-)
1) I do not "blaze away" at Martillo (aka Thors Provoni). He is a Syrian Arab and a crackpot racist; it is easy to ignore his lunatic rants. They are meaningless. 2) Please do not call me a racist. I merely point out facts and truths, in the tradition of the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Some people didn't like him, either, and called him a racist, but in the end, he was right and was way ahead of his time. Like me. :-) This this bothers some people should make them wonder why they are so backwards…
1) Martillo is not Jewish. 2) He doesn't "consult on Wall Street". 3) He is a loon. Read his stuff and see for yourself. 4) The whole world ignores him so he keeps on plugging himself here on MondoLies because most self-respectable sites won't allow his racist blabbering to enter.
