I am angry. I am devastated.
I just returned from a protest in Beirut and people are outraged. When will this fearsome monster cease to exist? And how many innocents will it gnash and gnaw through before it’s over?
The Israeli Zionist death cult harvested 19 corpses somewhere off the coast of Gaza today. Peace activists, unarmed men and women were gunned down by fascists wrapped in the chauvinist victimology of Never Again.
The activists’ crime? The cause for their indiscriminate slaughter? Well, they f*cked with Israel. And no one f*cks with Israel.
This latest incident is another sign that the ghetto state is hurtling at greater and greater velocity toward earth-shattering catastrophe. The deployment of three nuclear submarines off the coast of Iran is cause for deathly worry. The viperous Israeli leadership has demonstrated time and again that its bloodlust is insatiable in the face of its hyper-paranoia. I think they genuinely believe that this is a zero-sum game. And everyone is trying to kill them. They’ve internalized Hitler and regurgitated Hiter and inculcated their youth with Hiter so that perversely, their youth is the Hitler youth. That’s how ugly young men indiscriminately murder peace activists.
The leadership is irrational and deranged. They project themselves and their genocidal fantasies onto the Iranian leadership. I am seriously concerned that Israel will murder hundreds of thousands of people before this is over, that they will annihilate Iranian men women and children with nuclear weapons. Their massacre on the high seas and their massacres in Gaza and Lebanon are portentous of that.
Ha’aretz tells us that, “Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said earlier Monday that the organizers of the Gaza aid flotilla have connections to international terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Al-Qaida, and called the aid convoy a violent and provocative attempt to break the blockade on Gaza.”
Danny Ayalon, you and your fellows are the only terrorists here.
I beg the decent human beings in Israel to come out against their damnable government and damnable society before it’s too late. Wherever you are, WAKE UP FROM YOUR NARCOTIC SLUMBER AND DO SOMETHING!
There are no winners here. Zionism has damaged generation after generation of Palestinian and Jewish youth.
It’s hard not to despair.
Amen Ahmed.
I hope the international outrgae snoballs and becomes an unstopable juggernaught.
The activists’ crime? The cause for their indiscriminate slaughter? Well, they f*cked with Israel. And no one f*cks with Israel.
I have no doubt this was a deliberate act by the Israelis that any form of resistance, whether of civil disobedience, or provision of aid in opposition to an imposed military blockade of an impoverished population, is going to be met with violence and murder. The message is clear: Stay away, or suffer the consequences of our trigger happy army. This is really no different than the Gazan demonstrator killed for holding the flag against the occupying soldier, except Israel has even less lies to cover for its massacre here in int’l waters.
News reports have described that the flotilla was causing a nightmarish scenario on Israel. There’s no doubt that the Hasbara officials were scrambling to put the affair in good light and working overtime to do so, despite Israel’s impending loss of face in the world against a bunch of protesters carrying toys and aid. And why wouldn’t it worry? Here is a murderous apartheid state with falling international reputation, under the watch of the international community for its recent massacres and war crimes, and these peace activists were bringing attention to the state by the mere endeavor of their trip.
In front of this innocuous mission, no PR could have worked its magic. Had the flotilla landed in Gaza or Ashdod, the door would have been opened for international BDS supporters to engage in protest in large numbers. Then, it wouldn’t matter if the flotilla carried protesters against the blockade, the occupation, or the settlements: Israel the Judeo-supremacist state was done for.
If allowed its natural course, the flotilla would have been (as supporters of the Zionist state constantly stress about) an issue of Israel’s “legitimacy.”
However, this planned killing of the peace activists, where Israel is allowed (and where it will be backed by its Western allies) ground to make its own assertions of “terrorist links” and “violence,” renders the whole affair an issue of “diplomacy.”
Israel can deal with the latter, very formidably. Against the former no reasoning will suffice.
There’s no doubt about it that the Israelis were thinking long-term about this flotilla. Given the short-term inflammation of anger and criticism towards Israel, confronted by the growing non-violent resistance to the very essence of the apartheid state, Israel made the choice any fascist state desperately holding onto its receding power and status would.
What remains to be seen is how Israel’s atrocities will ensue in the larger international community. Will the Western media, with the deeply embedded bias for the Zionist cause and state, prevail once again against the increasingly informed, and now even more justifiably set into motion, activism for Palestinian liberation?

very good article as we used to read from Ahmed Noor.
There are no winners here. Zionism has damaged generation after generation of Palestinian and Jewish youth.
Sad but very true. Night is not day so i m confident that Zionism will fall.

Apparently, CNN decided that it needed to become Israel’s spokesperson in this article, with the Q&A….just read it till the end and notice how the other side slowly loses its voice in the face of what ‘Israel says..’
is any protest planned in Washington?
C Span reported that Greece has canceled tomorrow’s scheduled visit to Greece of an Israeli government official.
Bibi is scheduled to meet with Obama tomorrow.
Will Obama grow a pair and refuse to grant Bibi entry to the US? After all, Netanyahu DID give the orders, and if the ship was attacked in international waters, that is an act of war. For Obama to meet with the leader of a state who committed an act of war would be appalling.
I really doubt that Obama could manage this. But I do hope that there will be serious demonstrations in Washington and all over the world and that some assertion of our common humanity will be achieved.
Obama can have zionist money and votes to win the next election cycle, or he can have the votes of millions of peace-loving Americans.
Choose.
Contact and leave a message to Obama at www.whitehouse.gov/contact
I just did.

Hey jonah.
Enjoying the Israeli death porn?
“Enjoying the Israeli death porn?”
Does that question even need to be asked? You know he’s just sorry that they left survivors.
“‘You know he’s just sorry that they left survivors.”‘
What he really regrets is that there were no children around to get massacred.
I know. Despicable cretin. And to think yesterday, people actually thought he was worth some effort.
I can’t be bothered to negotiate with any so-called “liberal Zionist” today. I just can’t. Any other day of the week, I can be reasonably patient but this is too much, too far, too cruel and too unnecessary. They can all go fuck themselves. Excuse my French, but I can’t be bothered to couch it in polite language.
The fools really thought that because the media had completely blacked out the story, they could do as they pleased and fear no repercussions. They thought that the only people they had to worry about were peace activists, whom they could scare off by killing a few. Too fucking bad, the mainstream media will have to pick up on this whether they like it or not. It’s not like they killed a few Palestinian untermenschen protesting peacefully in the West Bank and Gaza. They attacked a ship in international waters. They’ve really let themselves in for it.
Shingo, there is a child on board, an 18-month old baby. The terrorists must have missed it. This was reported by the legal adviser of the FGM earlier today. As you implied, killing children is an Israeli specialty. Let’s not forget that it was the jerk Ayalon that had this silly thing with the high/low chairs with the Turkish ambassador not long ago.
This is also interesting.
“Lebanon is also another center spreading anti-Semitic propaganda trough the written and electronic media and by books published there. The radical Iranian-oriented terrorist organization, Hezbollah, leads that field and it is supported by senior figures and various groups.”

Look in the mirror in front of you.
Can you shut up your mouth you asshole bitch? Pay respect to your victims you filthy troll.
“‘This is also interesting.”
Go suck yourself you fascistllittle ass wipe. You Ziofasicst pigs are patholgically tone deaf.
Israel just massacred 20 innocent peace activists and all you can obsess over is the fucking wwallpaper in your room.
BTW. If Hebollah is a terrorist organization, then Israel is a far greater one.
Name one state that celebrated the 60th anniversary fo a terrosit atatck carried out in it’s name and pissed off one of it’s greatest suporters in the process?
And name one political leader, apart from Bin Laden, who described the 911 attacks a a good thing.
Interesting indeed.
Here Israel has massacred yet more innocent men and women, and you come here with Hasbara links to remind us of the “anti-semitic propaganda.”
More than a hasbara spokesperson you are a better representative of Zionist dementia.
I think the last thing we need is to lose the nerves. I want to make clear that I consider the shooting and the victims very regrettable and saddening. But we still don’t know what really happened this night, if the activists were directly attacked by the IDF or if they used violence against them and caused the harsh reaction. There must be a proper and full investigation in the event. The hatred and the demonization you are displaying don’t bode well at all and can only make the clash worse.
”I think the last thing we need is to lose the nerves. I want to make clear that I consider the shooting and the victims very regrettable and saddening. ”
But comepletely appropriate right Jonah?
Would you ghave descirbed the deaths in Heabron in 1929 as regrettable and saddening?
”But we still don’t know what really happened this night,”
We know exacly what happened. Israel acted out an act of piracy against a civlian vessel and broke the law. Israel atatcked the ship without any jurisdiction.
”The hatred and the demonization you are displaying don’t bode well at all and can only make the clash worse.”
Sure Jonah, the kjilled of 20 peopel was not an act fo hatred was it, just tough love.
You’re scum.
nope we know what happened.
IDF (the pirates of the rogue Israeli states) attacked activists in international waters.
Activists tried to defend their boats with sticks and with their limited tools.
The gangster state decided to kill them.
Correct me Jonah if i m wrong.
But we still don’t know what really happened this night, if the activists were directly attacked by the IDF or if they used violence against them and caused the harsh reaction.
The IDF had no business being there you apologist piece of Zionist shit.
Israel sent in trained elite commandos to a ship carrying aid in international waters, murdering peace activists and here you are trying to give us lessons in patience and perseverance.
Your feigned concern is just as convincing as the “tragedy” Israelis feel when the IDF burns Palestinian children and massacres Arab families.
If there is one nation with more than ample good cause to hate Israel, it is Lebanon, which has suffered from its misfortune to share a border with the Zionist state for over 60 years.
How many thousands of Lebanese are dead because Israel has used it as a killing ground?
And Jonah – I am really not in the mood for one of your hasbara links from terrorism.info.org.il purporting to prove that Israel was only defending itself against Lebanese terrorism. Not today.
How many thousands of Lebanese are dead because Israel has used it as a killing ground?
Between 25,000 and 30,000, Potsherd and just as awful was that Lebanon’s south was used as the testing grounds for all new American and Israel weapons during the 20 years of Israeli occupation. Then they wonder why the Shia of Lebanon hate the Israelis so much.
”Wipe clean your house first.”
How about you get fucked and stop taking billions and lear nt pay for you rown weapons? Oh that’s right, you don’t even live in Israel. I guess you already figured out what a fascist little place it was.
Good for you Jonah. Have fun with the trappings that the Goys bring you.
jonah, two differences:
1. that’s a military saluting. Israel’s CIVILIAN population is Hitlerized
www dot avigailabarbanel dot me.uk/growing-insanity.html
2. Israeli behavior is predictable because it is based on foundational doctrine — the Iron Wall Doctrine authored by Jabotinsky (listen to Prof. Ian Lustick explain it here: link to edmaysproductions.net
Summarizing, the Iron Wall doctrine says that Israel must kill Arabs until Arabs “get it through their thick heads” that Israel will dominate them.
jonah for god sake you just committed another crime and you still drunk? WAKE UP FUCKEN ISRAELIS wake up you bloody scum because you became so fucking dangerous. WAKE up you cold turkey you became rogue and mass murder….
Haven’t we heard this line before, Jonah?
I’m now sorry that I spoke up to give you the benefit of the doubt. Your only motive is to distort the facts to throw the blame on Israel’s opponents. If you want to know where the hate for Israel comes, the answer is as close as the nearest mirror.
”I’m now sorry that I spoke up to give you the benefit of the doubt.”
Me too.
I thought he was just naive but well meaning, when it turns out he’s a ignoramus and a fanatic, just like Witty.
He’s a lot braver than Witty, though. Witty apparently adheres to the Timon and Pumbaa view of combat: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Won’t be missed.
I now suspect that he is a plant from “terrorism.info.org.il”, the site he is always quoting.
Thanks, but first we have to deal with the other high seas piracy problem we seem to have developing in the Mediterranean.
anti-semitism is Israel’s bread and butter
Overnight I was wondering whether these 15 or so deaths could do what the 1500 in Gaza or 2000 or more in Lebanon couldn’t and awaken international action. I fear not.
Another thing I wondered is what this will mean for Turkey’s internal politics. If Erdogan tries to react strongly, will the military be emboldened? It has been chafing against him for years now. As the flotilla set sale, Israeli commentators tried to vilify Erdogan as an Islamist and that this flotilla was part of his attempts to Islamize the country!?
You’re right, Ahmed, nothing will happen. Israel has done much worse than killing these 20 activists trying to bring help to Gazans. Think back to Qana 1 and Qana 2, Marwaheen, Beit Hanoun, Gaza Beach, Jabaliya and more recently the white phosphorus over Gaza and nothing happened to Israel. This is because whatever Israel does, it does it with the full knowledge and agreement of the US if not at the request of the US. Israel and the US have been playing good cop-bad cop for decades but when it comes to the Palestinians, they are both bad cops. The UNSC is to meet for what happened today at Lebanon’s and Turkey’s request since both are current members but with the automatic US veto, nothing serious will happen.
This happened in international waters, though. And this happened against European citizens.
I think it’s disgusting, but the sorry fact is it took until this incident for Israel to do something the international community (or at least, the powers that be among the so-called “First World” countries) cannot ignore.
This was a blatant act of piracy in international waters. That cannot be ignored.
RE: “The cause for their indiscriminate slaughter? Well, they f*cked with Israel. And no one f*cks with Israel.” – Ahmed Moor
OR AS MARTY “MACHO MAN” PERETZ PUT IT ON 12/27/08: “Do not f*ck with the Jews.”
SEE: Marty Peretz and the American political consensus on Israel, By Glenn Greenwald, Salon, 12/28/08
(excerpt)…any minimally decent human being — even those who view the world through the most blindingly pro-Israeli lens possible, the ones who justify anything and everything Israel does, and who discuss these events with a bottomless emphasis on the primitive (though dangerous) rockets lobbed by Hamas into Southern Israel but without even mentioning the ongoing four-decades brutal occupation or the recent, grotesquely inhumane blockade of Gaza — would find the slaughter of scores of innocent Palestinians to be a horrible and deeply lamentable event.
But not The New Republic’s Marty Peretz. Here is his uniquely despicable view of the events of the last couple of days:
So at 11:30 on Saturday morning, according to both the Jerusalem Post and Ha’aretz, as well as the New York Times, 50 fighter jets and attack helicopters demolished some 40 to 50 sites in just about three minutes, maybe five. Message: do not f*ck with the Jews.
“Do not f*ck with the Jews.” And what of the several hundred Palestinian dead — including numerous children — and many hundreds more seriously wounded?
…Those are the words of a psychopath….
…This super-tough-guy warrior — whose prime accomplishment in life was marrying an heiress and then using her family’s money to buy himself The New Republic — beats his chest and threatens…
