Video: O little invasion of Bethlehem

Editor’s note: Tom Suarez’s video shows the occupation of Bethlehem as you may not have seen it before. We particularly recommend that you watch the scenes of skunk gas, a foul liquid, being sprayed unprovoked over Manger Street. The protest was then on Hebron Road. And, at 9:30, a deeply distressing scene of two young men asking permission of soldiers to walk unharmed down a street.

Ugly scenes of the zionists making sure the Palestinians will not live forever more in their territories.

“We shall use terror, assassination, intimidation……”

Nothing this side of extermination is going to deter Palestinian resistance. Bethlehem during the first Intifada was nothing like this. I was there at the time and was horrified to find IDF marksmen glaring down at me from their perch on the 2nd floor of a building overlooking the main entrance to the city. Almost peaceful, one might say, in comparison to what’s taking place there today. Seems that the more desperate the occupiers become, the more vicious their behavior towards Palestinians. What’s holding them back from their “final solution” is uncertainty as to whether or not they’d get away with it. If they were sure they could, I doubt they’d hesitate.

“the more desperate…. become”
Not desperate but rather extremely angry and agitated.
There are daily occurrences today where Palestinians stab people at random around them and ram cars into groups waiting in bus stops. I don`t think the Palestinians appreciate the extent and intensity of the reaction to such acts in the Israeli public to what they are doing. If anything, that`s a desperate campaign on their side.

“the first Intifada was nothing like this”
Terror tend to have a meaningful psychological impact on those it is directed at, as we just saw also in France – that`s perhaps the rationale behind it – and with this random stabbing and car ramming campaign the Palestinians are shaping an altogether different Israeli opponent. ,

@yours truly
I am sure that Nitay and his cabal of right wing fruitcakes have had quite a few little Wansee type conferences to discuss and formulate a “final solution” to the Palestinian Arab problem. There are obviously a lot of challenging issues to be addressed. First and foremost would be that that if they went ahead they would no longer be able to claim the title of blameless persecuted victims so at a stroke their very raison d`etre would evaporate. Sleepless nights,loss of appetite,no stories to tell the children about their past sufferings etc etc etc.The horror.

Secondly the logistics. Lets assume that the Nazi FS option is a non starter and the only option is mass expulsion the how and where enter the frame. In a country the size of Wales or New Jersey how and where do you round up and store millions of people who won`t willingly be led to the cattle trains or buses without there being a major spilling of 22 carat Zionist blood. Assuming that you have succeeded where do you expel them to?
Jordan will not have them and if you propose invading and depositing them there the US is likely to be very very upset and simply tell you to back off at a rate of knots. The Sinai ? Egypt would be very very very upset especially as you would have to make them start a war with you by doing a Pearl Harbour on their Air Force ( a little more complicated and certainly a lot more costly than in 1967 ). Lebanon – OMG the IDF would have to take on Hezbollah. Think of the tons of toilet roll they will need – they would have to ask the US for exceptional funds. Syria – as for Lebanon with the same amount of toilet rolls needed.

No the only real FS is to stop bombing Gaza, take over there again and convert it into a multi storey as opposed to a low rise prison to house the West Bank hordes. Then progressively over the next decade or so incrementally and subtly add the Arab Israeli population and if needs be add even more storeys.

All of the above unlike 1942 under the watchful and recording eyes of the rest of the world.

Sounds daft and impossible ? That`s because it is. Basically Israel is f….d and is irrevocably on its way to a single state which initially be Apartheid and well you know the rest of the script.

,” it’s just a coincidence that Jews are singled out for criticism in every story.”

Herchel, they get everything backwards here.
Now, you know, and I know, that by all the laws of God and man, calling Israel “The Jewish State” and making Zionism all about Jews should insulate, in fact render the entire project immune to criticism.

But as difficult as it is to believe, there are people who will criticize someone or something in spite of its being Jewish!
