The War of Ideas in the Middle East
What is amazing is that the whole world is not boycotting Israel.
The whole world understands that the little mafia state wants it all...
The big mafia state has surrendered to fleas.
Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so, ad infinitum.

I do not understand why the rest of the world has surrendered to a USA that has a little flea that controls its host.

"In the episode, Tom Paris and Harry Kim are falsely accused of a terrorist bombing on the Akritirian homeworld which kills 47 Akritirian citizens and sent to a brutal prison where inmates must fend for themselves to survive. When Captain Janeway tries to intercede, she is told by Ambassador Liri of Akritiri that Harry and Paris had confessed to the crime and her appeal for clemency is rejected. All the prisoners including Tom and Harry are implanted with a brain implant called "the clamp" which induces aggression among its victims. The apparent intent of the Akritirian's device was to cause the prisoners to fight and kill each other in order to reduce their numbers in prison thereby allowing the Akritirians to more easily control them."
Nazi salute?
“In conceding the principle of one-person-one-vote South Africa’s whites knew that they were losing their political primacy for good. Israeli Jews will not do that.”
Yesterday i read the article by Phan Nguyen about Rachel Corrie. The quote from Roy Bryant about Emmett Till made me want to learn more about Till and the people that killed him: “Emmett Till is dead. I don’t know why he can’t just stay dead.” —Roy Bryant, nearly 40 years after murdering Emmett Till
At Wikipedia there was this quote from the other killer:
"Well, what else could we do? He was hopeless. I'm no bully; I never hurt a nigger in my life. I like niggers—in their place—I know how to work 'em. But I just decided it was time a few people got put on notice. As long as I live and can do anything about it, niggers are gonna stay in their place. Niggers ain't gonna vote where I live. If they did, they'd control the government. They ain't gonna go to school with my kids. And when a nigger gets close to mentioning sex with a white woman, he's tired o' livin'. I'm likely to kill him. Me and my folks fought for this country, and we got some rights. I stood there in that shed and listened to that nigger throw that poison at me, and I just made up my mind. 'Chicago boy,' I said, 'I'm tired of 'em sending your kind down here to stir up trouble. Goddam you, I'm going to make an example of you—just so everybody can know how me and my folks stand.' J. W. Milam, Look magazine, 1956[12]"
"Israeli Jews will not do that"
Israeli Jews are not bullys. They like niggers—in their place—They know how to work 'em.

Blood on their hands and blood at their feet,

Strange fruitcakes hanging on to power.
Pastoral scene of the gallant Israel,
With bulging eyes and a twisted mind.
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,

Inglourious Basterds 2:

The movie wins an Oscar in the fiction category.
"The society teaches you that this is the only place for you and you're not welcome in other places. It's a country that is occupying another country and it makes its own people crazy. And I am not even talking about the Palestinian people."
A friend of my mother used to rent his home to Israeli tourists here in Norway when he went away on summer vacations.
The Israeli tourists was always insisting that he show them all and EVERYTHING in the house. They looked everywhere for bombs.
But the thing that they asked most questions about was the cast iron door at the bottom of the chimney.
Do they have rubber doors at the bottoms of chimneys in israel?
I feel very sorry for people that are so afraid, but i do not understand how they can not understand why people are afraid of them when they steal land and hate the people they steal land from...
"It's a country that is occupying another country and it makes its own people crazy"
They are not only occupying another country, they refuse to call that country a country and the people a people.

Oh, the first comment on the Haaretz article:
"Snubs the Knesset. He won't address the Knesset,unlike all his predecessors. Even Angela Merkel addressed the Knesset!"
Even that dirty German nazi Angela Merkel addressed the Knesset!
Obama must be much worse than nazis....?
"(Yesterday, Haaretz reported that Obama would not be speaking to the Knesset.)"
How long before Obama will be accused of being an anti-semite and anti-democratic for not speaking to the Knesset?

What is all that noise in the video?
Could he not close his window?
There is some kind of noise that sounds like a 'Hydraulisk pigghammer' (i do not know what they are called in en english). And a lot of noise from cars going by.

The noise does not bother him, he just goes on talking about:
"Israel that has one of the world’s most vibrant cultures and one of the world’s most dynamic peoples."
Is all the noise meant to show how vibrant the culture is?
Is that the sound of Palestinian homes being destroyed? The sound of the "vibrant culture" that builds Jewish homes on top of destroyed Palestinian homes? The sound of traffic on Jewish only roads?
Would he close his window if the noise came from a vibrant Palestinian culture?
Strange video!
What Germans said after world war 2:

I think the interrogators killed Arafat Jaradat because he had the name Arafat.

I asked: "Who is Yousef? Is his real name Yehuda?"
And my comment was deleted. I did not mean to offend anyone.
It was just a question. Is Yousef a Palestinian or a Jew working as an agent provocateur?
"It is not a coincidence that Hollywood - another liberal stronghold – has picked as Oscar nominees two films that are critical of the Palestinian problem."
Is it not strange, especially in this situation to use words like "the Palestinian problem"?
As if it is Palestinians that are the problem.
With all the history of the Jewish Question/problem that ended in the Final Solution, how can an Israeli Jew talk about victims of oppression like that?

"Last year I had the privilege of visiting our great friend Israel. I was deeply humbled by the incredible courage and dignity of Israelis who live, work, and raise families in the face of a daily existential threat. I saw first hand in communities like Sderot where kindergartens are reinforced by reinforced concrete and gas filtration systems."
This made me think about Albania under Enver Hoxha.
I guess Soviet politicians said things like that when they visited the country where every family had to build a bunker to protect themselves.
A Soviet Kennedy would say:
Last year I had the privilege of visiting our great friend Albania. I was deeply humbled by the incredible courage and dignity of Albanians who live, work, and raise families in the face of a daily existential threat. I saw first hand in communities like Tirana where kindergartens are reinforced by reinforced concrete and gas filtration systems. I saw it across the country where bus stops doubled with bombshells and enhanced security is a way of life protecting innocent civilians from the threat of terror. Despite the complexities of an entrenched and painful conflict I hold out hope as so many others do. But for that to happen Albania needs a credible partner at the negotiations table. I look forward to hearing your thoughts today about how we can move that process forward.

What a horrible video. It can not be real. Jews would never talk like that. It must have been made in Pallywood, by pallymonsters, trying to make the friendly occupation look like something out of a film about Nazis...
Nice try, you evil, nefarious, malicious and malevolent anti-Semites!
We Zionists are on to you!
And if the video is not a fake?
Then it is VERY anti-semitic to film people who talk about how they are "protecting" the only Jewish-military-democracy in the ME.
"I remember the words ‘talk to’ those they fought. I don’t remember the word ‘negotiate’."
It is an Israeli film.
In Hebrew ‘negotiate’ means ‘talk to’, as in do as we say, or else...
- "The example he gave instead was the analogy that that until 1967 Israel was like a vehicle going down a path on a mission in one direction. At that point, it turned on another path "in the wrong direction," and has never turned back. "And since then it's moving for me, towards the abyss."
This article made me think about the Costa Concordia disaster and Francesco Schettino. I guess Nutty like Schettino will stumble and fall into a life-boat when he think the ship is sinking...
"I think he is the worst Prime Minister ever in Israeli history-- the biggest failure. I think he will be elected again. I cannot understand how the Israeli public can vote for him again. He fucked up in everything he did, in every aspect of his job."
Like Costa Concordia, Israel has a Ship-owner (Sheldon Adelson) that use his influence to hire the worst captain he can find...
I hope Nethanyaho like Schettino can put the sinking ship on the beach and avoid total disaster.
But i fear that the captain will put the Israeli ship far from any beach and hit an iceberg, and the abyss is what is waiting.

Take a hint, if people do not like you and try to kill you, you must be doing something wrong....
It is just a viable suggestion....
I did not claim that people in Ramallah had Israeli citizenship.
I was thinking of Jews in Germany, who lost their citizenship.
And then moved to Palestine to deny Palestinians citizenship.
Why is this article so offencive to: yrn, Newclench, JeffB, hophmi, mondonut and yonah fredman?
To much truth for them?
On some articles where Israel is committing war crimes, they do not comment at all.
But here it seems they are in panic.
Apartheid-panic...
"Since when do those who live in Ramallah Have an Israeli Citizenship ????"
It is sort of reverse Nuremberg Laws.
Jews were citizens and then lost citizenship and were traeted very badly, so they had to go and build their own country, where most of the indigenous population never could have citizenship so therefore they can not vote and are not citizens.
Only a token minority are allowed to vote...

I hope the American empire (the wolf) ends up as dinner for the third pig:
"The third pig builds a house of hard bricks and he lets his brothers in when he sees them. The wolf fails to blow down the house. He then attempts to trick the pigs out of the house, but the pigs outsmart him at every turn. Finally, the wolf resolves to come down the chimney, whereupon the pigs boil a pot of water in which the wolf lands and is cooked."

"Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has a decision to make. Directly negotiate peace with Israel, or make a bad situation worse. Time and time again, President Obama and other world leaders have called him to the negotiating table. Time and time again President Abbas has chosen the futile path.
Leadership is needed now. President Abbas must stop the journey in the wrong direction--appealing to the United Nations--turn away from the cliff, and return to the negotiating table. The path to peace begins with the seven minutes between Jerusalem and Ramallah, not on UN podiums. Going to the UN General Assembly is a mistake.

"KHAMAS (the letter k has been added for pronunciation as well as special effects)."
This has been irritating me for years. The special effects in the pronunciation Hamas.
Israelis interviewed about the conflict always pronounce Hamas as KHAMAS. They may speak perfect English or Norwegian or whatever, but Hamas is always KHAMAS. Even if the Israelis are from New York and know the pronunciation in english, or the Israelis are from Oslo and know the pronunciation in Norwegian...
All the applause for Owen Jones in this video reminded me about a debate on Norwegian TV the other day.

In the panel was the foreign minister and a politician from the largest opposition party. (Both was very mild in their critique of Israel) And 1 Palestinian woman and 1 Israeli woman, and a man from the Red Party and a man from Friends of Israel in the parliament.
4 people in the audience was also asked questions - The Israeli ambassador to Norway Naim Araidi, a priest from Oslo, and Vibeke Løkkeberg (who made the movie Tears of Gaza), and former PM Kåre Willoch who now supports Palestine (when he is old and retired). Like Carter....?
After the ambassador and the other supporters of Israel had answered questions with the usual hasbara there was NO applause or only ONE person applauding VERY loud. (they never showed who that was).
All the other people got massive applause just like Owen Jones did.

"CBS no longer categorizes American Jews as ‘ethnic minority’"
Maybe they think of them as an ethnic superiority?
The ethnic superiority is superior to the ethnic minority?
"We should not be astonished if in the cases where we see an inferiority [feeling] complex we find a superiority complex more or less hidden. On the other hand, if we inquire into a superiority complex and study its continuity, we can always find a more or less hidden inferiority [feeling] complex."
"If a person is a show-off it is only because she or he feels inferior, because she or he does not feel strong enough to compete with others on the useful side of life. That is why she or he stays on the useless side. She or he is not in harmony with society. It seems to be a trait of human nature that when individuals - both children and adults - feel weak, they want to solve the problems of life in such a way as to obtain personal superiority without any admixture of social interest. A superiority complex is a second phase. It is a compensation for the inferiority [feeling] complex."

I couldn't give a hoot about Gideon Levy or his interpretation of the survey's results, but if part of your argument is that he is in need of a good editor, you would do better to spell his name consistently rather than intermittently refer to him as "Gidon" or "Levi" and moan on about his "extraordinary feet [sic] of deductive logic".
In declaring Levy's piece to be an incitement against Israel, you are willfully ignoring the shocking truths the survey's results tell us about Israelis. Harp on all you like about Levy's politics and it still doesn't change the truth about how damaged we Israelis have made ourselves through occupation."
"No thanks, we're not interested."
They even have apartheid in the prisons:
"The Israel Prison Service (IPS) allows standard conjugal visits to non-Palestinian inmates who are married or are in a common-law relationship, and have been on good behavior."

"The word is about, there's something evolving,
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here,
that the revolution's near,
but to me it seems quite clear
that it's all just a little bit of history repeating
The newspapers shout a new style is growing,
but it don't know if it's coming or going,
there is fashion, there is fad
some is good, some is bad
and the joke is rather sad,
that its all just a little bit of history repeating
- and I've seen it before
- and I'll see it again
- yes I've seen it before
- just little bits of history repeating"

"UNIFIL in Lebanon is not there to monitor Israel but to protect Israel from the Lebanese side of the border."
Yes i know.
Many Norwegians joined UNIFIL to help Israel. But when they came to Lebanon they understood who needed help.
I think this is why so many norwegians support Palestinians. More than 2% of the population went to Lebanon and came back and told the rest how Israelis behave.
"it's the arrogance"
A lot of my friends and family have served in UNIFIL in Lebanon.
ALL (absolutely all) describe Israelis as the most arrogant people on the planet.
I can understand why Israel does not want more UN soldiers to monitor what they do...
"these students can cross into Egypt and from there travel wherever they wish"
Maybe they can crawl into Egypt from tunnels, but how can stateless people get a visa to anywhere?
Do they get a Nansen passport when they come to Egypt?

"I did not leave them out. They are not relevant. As I stated, these students can cross into Egypt and from there travel wherever they wish and are allowed."
Can they go to Egypt and then go to Israel to study?
Are they allowed to do that?
"as I was on a train to Toronto" / "I was in a hurry to get on a plane to Canada."
Same destination. Could she not be in a hurry, while on a train to catch a plane?
I have often been stressed and in a hurry when i am on the train to the airport to go to Stockholm in Sweden.
What is the inconsistencies?
The trip was by train and plane?
And the destination was changed from Toronto to Canada??
This reminds me of how terrified people were in my hometown after ww2.
They wanted to get rid of everything German.

The hard part was getting rid of the Nazi German bunkers.
They tried to blow up the U-Boat-bunker «Bruno» at Laksevåg.
People was terrified from the explosions, so the government had to stop. The bunker is still there.
The people at Laksevåg lost 193 civilians, 61 of them children at Holen skole for children when one British bombing raid missed Bruno.
The children that was dug out from from the ruins alive has not had a good life.
After the war Norwegians had to love the winners, so survivors of Holen could not be victims...

I read in a newspaper just a week or two before the second intifada that an Israeli spokesperson said that there had been no suicide bombings in the first intifada. (As they had claimed for many years).
When the second intifada started and most bombings were described as suicide bombings i expected the media to remember that.
But no, the media had that foggy memory.
All bombings MUST be by people that is so evil that they want to kill themselves and a lot of other people .. xtra evil people.... !!!

You must be really proud, Tel Aviv is on 3rd place and Lonely Planet describes the city as a modern version of Sodom and Gomorrah.
"Tel Aviv is the total flipside of Jerusalem, a modern Sin City on the sea rather than an ancient Holy City on a hill. Hedonism is the one religion that unites its inhabitants. There are more bars than synagogues, God is a DJ and everyone’s body is a temple."
"but sharing or dividing the city is a ridiculous and unworkable concept."
I agree that dividing the city is a ridiculous and unworkable concept.
What is so ridiculous about sharing the city?
I will take you seriously when you let Palestinians build in West Jerusalem.
And when you say that Israel would certainly be a viable state without Jerusalem.
And when you say all should share the city like Saladin wanted to. Like the UN also suggested.
"And remember, the Palestinians have never, in all of history, controlled Jerusalem."
Yes they have. They have not had a Palestinian kingdom or state that ruled Palestine + Jerusalem.
But they have lived there and controlled Jerusalem for centuries under the Ottomans, just like Israel now is under the US.
And just like the palestinians did, the israelis would lose everything if the empire stop to protect them.
"Not sure why Halper does not use “illegal” settlements. ILLEGAL."
Halper = the Israeli version of liberal Zionist. (The good cop).
The Zionist version of Good cop/bad cop is bad cop/worse cop.
"it is useful from a historical perspective to divide the history into periods!"
I agree. There was a period before the oppression by Zionists, and there is an ongoing period of oppression by Zionists.
Very different periods!

I just started to watch the film Der ewige Jude. (Directed by Fritz Hippler). I could not see the whole film because it is horrible. I could only take 5 minutes of the hate.
It starts with the text: "This film shows actual shots of the Polish ghettos. It shows us the Jews as they really look... before concealing themselves... behind the mask of civilized Europeans."
After the end of the Second World War, Hippler was interned and sentenced to two years in prison.
Pamela Geller is the new Hippler.
She should be put in prison to prevent the Third World War.
When i hear Israelis accuse someone of something i often think they just pick something from a list of all the bad things that Israel does.
Teaching children to hate.
Building nuclear bombs.
Using human shields.
Wanting to destroy a country.

I am glad he told that horrible story, but what is wrong with this guy ?
He was the bodyguard of the mass murderers and confirms that the murderers were supplied with Israeli weapons and nice vests. And now he has nightmares about the people he helped to die?
He is happy he came out alive, but "sorry for all the soldiers - some of whom were my friends - who were killed in a senseless war."
He is sorry for Israeli soldiers who were killed in a senseless war. He is not sorry for all the Palestinians murdered, but the dead Israeli soldiers and most of all himself because he had to see and smell the dead Palestinians.
He even has to have sex therapy because he is obviously the victim.
I feel so sorry for him...
Not!
I have tried to find something about this in all the largest norwegian online newspapers.

There is nothing.

"Actually, it’s not just the circumcision issue. Germany has a growing neo-Nazi problem."
Actually, it’s not just the occupation issue. Palestine has a growing Zionist problem.
If only it was a small neo-Zionist problem, i guess Palestine could handle it just like Germany does today. Palestine would forbid Zionist and neo-Zionist organizations.
From your link:
"Far-right violence against immigrants has become endemic in parts of Germany and that won't change anytime soon. The public and the police are too often indifferent to extremism, despite the risk it poses to the country's reputation. Deep down, Germany still hasn't grasped that it needs to embrace its minorities."
Change a few words and you have the truth:
Far-right violence against immigrants and Palestinians has become endemic in all of Israel and that won't change anytime soon. The public and the police are too often indifferent to extremism, despite the risk it poses to the country's reputation. Deep down, Israel still hasn't grasped that it needs to embrace its minorities.
Germany does more to fight against extremism than most countries.
Israel fights for extremism...
One of the things that irritate me the most about the war mongers/military that destroyed Iraq is that now they often say: Iraq was a blunder.

The New Anti-Semitism
by URI AVNERY:
The Nazi Propaganda Minister, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, calls his boss, Adolf Hitler, by hell-phone.
“Mein Führer,” he exclaims excitedly. “News from the world. It seems we were on the right track, after all. Anti-Semitism is conquering Europe!”
“Good!” the Führer says, “That will be the end of the Jews!”
“Hmmm…well…not exactly, mein Führer. It looks as though we chose the wrong Semites. Our heirs, the new Nazis, are going to annihilate the Arabs and all the other Muslims in Europe.” Then, with a chuckle, “After all, there are many more Muslims than Jews to exterminate.”
“But what about the Jews?” Hitler insists.
“You won’t believe this: the new Nazis love Israel, the Jewish State – and Israel loves them!”

I read "The conversion of Joel Kovel (Part 1)" and i was wondering why no one commented on the hatred. Almost all comments was about religion and culture and this and that. And nothing about teaching minority children to hate.
"Growing up, Christians were just the Irish and the Italians in the next neighborhood over and we were taught to hate and fear them."
link to mondoweiss.net
By whom? Parents, teachers, rabbis or friends, or all of them?
Who teaches their children to hate and fear other people? Fear i can understand that a minority teach their children, or to be careful, but hate, no.
Is that a good strategy for a minority to survive? Going around hating everybody else? How common is this among minorities?
Is it a good strategy for a tiny minority in the middle east to hate everybody, christians and muslims alike? Can a minority expect to live in peace when they hate the majority?

It is suspected that the stretched Popeye Turbo is the primary strategic second strike nuclear deterrent weapon which can be fired from the 650mm secondary torpedo tubes of the Israeli Dolphin class submarines.[1] It is believed that the SLCM version of the Popeye was developed by Israel after the US Clinton administration refused an Israeli request in 2000 to purchase Tomahawk long range SLCM's because of international MTCR proliferation rules.[2] While the standard Popeye is 533mm the Dolphin class submarines have four 650mm torpedo tubes in addition to the six standard 533mm tubes allowing for the possibility that a SLCM Popeye derivative may be a larger diameter.[3]"
