ZIONISTS SMEAR CATHOLICS

Today I was looking at news articles and came across several regarding the former Irish President Mary Robinson, the first woman President of Ireland and Champion of Women’s Rights internationally. Having been born in the North of Ireland, she has experienced first hand oppression, bigoty and racism. As such, she then went on to do human rights work within the United Nations and has been a friend to oppressed people like the Palestinians. President Obama is honouring her with the Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honour. As you would expect, the Zionists in AIPAC are not happy about this and have begun to attack Obama, Mary Robinson and even the Catholic religion. So, let’s talk about the subtlety of Zionist racism with a glaring example. First this:

Mary Robinson as one of this year’s recipients of the Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honour, might be a source of special joy and pride for the former president and United Nations human rights commissioner. She will be joined at next week’s ceremony at the White House by a small, diverse and distinguished group including Senator Edward Kennedy (should his illness allow it), Archbishop Desmond Tutu, physicist Stephen Hawking, actor Sidney Poitier and former supreme court justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

Seems innocent enough, but wait. Here comes AIPAC:

Robinson’s award has been overshadowed, however, by a noisy dispute over her record on Israel and Palestine, with some influential pro-Israel groups in the US accusing her of showing a consistent bias against the Jewish state and a handful of bloggers going as far as describing her as an anti-Semitic bigot. “She refused to reject the twisted notion that the wrong done to the Jews in the Holocaust was equivalent to the pain suffered by the Palestinians in the Middle East.”

Aipac also blames Robinson for a 2002 resolution approved by the UN Human Rights Commission that affirmed “the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to resist the Israeli occupation”, a phrase some understood as an endorsement of Palestinian violence.

This is the response from the Whitehouse and Robinson:

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs held firm to the decision to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Robinson as a "crusader of women's rights." The White House is standing by its decision to award the Medal of Freedom to the former president, but Robinson is distressed by the attacks on her record, which she described this week as “unjust and unwarranted”.

She has also accused “certain elements of the Jewish community” of bullying, a charge that has triggered a fresh round of criticism from pro-Israel groups.

Now, see if you can spot the “covert” bigotry and racism below HINT: It is contained in the headline of an article in the NYpost, a pro-Zionist rag.

“JEWS RIP O HAIL MARY”
Did you get that? Catholics say “Hail Mary’s” as part of their religion. They have used her name and linked it with her religion in a racist derogatory Anti-Catholic smear. Note that AIPAC picks its targets carefully, so as to avoid OVERT “racism” as we can see from the example below:

Political observers in Washington have noted that Aipac, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Robinson’s other critics have said little or nothing about the award of the Medal of Freedom to Tutu, whose criticism of Israel’s alleged human rights abuses has been just as forthright as Robinson’s.

You see, if they dared to pick on Tutu, as they have done with Robinsion, they’d soon find Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton along with the NAACP in their faces. And rightly so! Not to mention the entire African American population. But they have no qualms over attacking Mary Robinson AND her religion. Catholics should be outraged and should write to the NYpost about the “title” of that article which is clearly Anti-Catholic. But Israel has a long standing policy of Anti-Catholicism. They have done to Catholics what they are doing to Palestinians today:

The roots of Anti-Catholicism in Israel can be traced back to the origin of the Jewish state in 1948 when several villages with majority Catholic populations, such as Kafr Bir'im and Iqrit, were forcibly depopulated by the Israel Defence Forces.[65] Catholic priests have been expelled from the country, and dozens of churches have been occupied, closed or forcibly sold since 1948. More recently Israel has denied residence status to Catholic clerics and has attempted to block the appointment of Catholic bishops.[66] Israeli government attempts such as the failed 1998 effort to block the Holy See's appointment of Boutros Mouallem as archbishop of Galilee were condemned by the Vatican and other nations.[67] Suspicion and hostility towards Catholic clerics has led to incidents such as the October 2002 detention and harassment of Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop Elias Chacour and Archbishop Boutros Mouallem, who were prevented from leaving Jerusalem to attend an interfaith meeting in London.[68] link

In The Much Too Promised Land , a new account of US efforts to broker peace in the Middle East, Aaron David Miller, who advised both Republican and Democratic administrations, suggests Aipac may be less powerful than its critics believe and the group itself likes to pretend. However, he quotes the group’s former executive director, Tom Dine, as declaring that being “the tough guy in the neighbourhood” is still essential. “Aipac and the community can hurt you,” Dine said.

This week, Robinson is discovering in the most painful and immediate terms how true those words remain. source

Lastly this:
Today we are proud of Mary Robinsion, for her work in Women’s Rights, for having the courage to stand up to the Zionists and for her support of the Palestinian plight. Congratulations to Mary Robinson, when AIPAC attacks you, then you must be doing something right!My fellow Irish blogger Sheilanagig has a view on this as well HERE

SURPRISE~Eric Cantor PIMPS For Zionists

Eric the Zio-Whore needs to make "Aliyah" quickly, like yesterday, and allow Americans loyal to America to govern the country.More on Eric after this:

Iran is the problem, not Israeli settlements: US lawmaker

Senior US Republican Congressman Eric Cantor said on Thursday that the world should stop pressuring Israel over settlements and concentrate instead on the threat from a nuclear Iran.

Cantor, Republican Whip in the House of Representatives, said the main obstacle to Middle East peace is the Palestinian refusal to recognise Israel as a Jewish state and not the Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

"I don't quite know what is driving the focus on the issue of settlements," he told Israeli public radio. AFP

Cantor has "utilized his ties" to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which he became involved with "10 years ago as a member of the Virginia Legislature," and the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) as part of his fundraising "outreach." "He has since cultivated those ties during his political ascendancy over the past decade and used them to build the foundation of his national fundraising network," sourcewatch

Uh Boy, FATAH Conference Hasbara

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In an amazing turn of events, Abbas takes “Hasbara” lessons from Israel and uses them at Conference. Yup, remember when on July 14th, Farouq Qaddoumi, the secretary general of the Fatah’s central committee accused Abbas of working with Israel's Ariel Sharon to murder Yassir Arafat? Then when the media covered this, Remember Dictator Abbas' answer was to ban Aljazeera from broadcasting in the West Bank? And then, more revelations ensued as Qaddoumi claims he knows of tapes that confirm the allegations.

Since then a real Brouhaha began and FATAH began to fracture even more. Not that it was coherent to begin with, which is why Abbas has waited forever to call this conference. But anyway, then he opens the conference and casts "fire and brimstone" onto HAMAS because they won the election with a majority of seats, even in FATAH strongholds like Ramallah. Then, after bashing HAMAS, he suddenly morphs himself into HAMAS and sings the praises of "Palestinian Resistance" Go figure! He's clearly in a meltdown, but back to the Yassir Arafat thingie, here's some awesome hasbara from Abbas, to deflect any guilt from himself over the death of Arafat, he calls for an "inquiry" into his death. Either another corrupt deal has been done with Abbas, or it won't be long before Farouq Qaddoumi has some "accident" like he vanishes along with his tapes A La Israeli agents. Viola, here today, gone tomorrow

The Fatah Congress on Thursday unanimously ruled that Israel is behind the death of former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The congress decided to set up a Palestinian inquiry commission to probe the matter, with its members to be appointed at a later date.

Arafat's nephew, Nasser al-Kidwa, however, is expected to head the commission. The congress also called for an international inquiry commission to investigate the circumstances of Arafat's death source

I seriously doubt any truth will come of this "Inquiry" as if Israel would cooperate ROFLMAO, or Abbas would allow himself to be investigated by real investigators, again ROFLMAO. But ya gotta give Abbas the "hasbara" award..........He has learned the skill well.

IDF "Child Killing Unit" Speaks Out

Today another former member of the IDF's "Child Killing Unit" speaks out. And again, we see that Israel has a long standing policy of killing children, torturing children, jailing children, and, get this, using "Military Tribunals" to try children aged 16. Witness the sickness of these people:

"You take the kid, you blindfold him, you handcuff him, he's really shaking... Sometimes you cuff his legs too. Sometimes it cuts off the circulation. “

"He doesn't understand a word of what's going on around him. He doesn't know what you're going to do with him. He just knows we are soldiers with guns. That we kill people. Maybe they think we're going to kill him. “

"A lot of the time they're peeing their pants, just sit there peeing their pants, crying. But usually they're very quiet.''

LIKE THIS:

from the BBC: A former Israeli military commander has told the BBC that Palestinian youngsters are routinely ill-treated by Israeli soldiers while in custody, reports the BBC' s Katya Adler from Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Eran Efrati is a former commander in Israel's army. He served in the occupied West Bank. In a discreet park in Jerusalem we meet to discuss allegations that soldiers like him often mistreat Palestinian minors, suspected of throwing stones.

Mr Efrati - who left the army five months ago - says the allegations are true:

''I never arrested anyone younger than nine or 10, but 14, 13, 11 for me, they're still kids. But they're arrested like adults.

"Every soldier who was in the Occupied Territories can tell you the same story. The first months after I left the army I dreamed about kids all the time. Jewish kids. Arab kids. Screaming.

''Maybe [the kid is] blindfolded for him not to see the base and how we're working... But I believe maybe we put the blindfold because we don't want to see his eyes. You don't want him to look at us - you know, beg us to stop, or cry in front of us. It's a lot easier if we don't see his eyes.

''When the kid is sitting there in the base, I didn't do it, but nobody is thinking of him as a kid, you know - if there is someone blindfolded and handcuffed, he's probably done something really bad. It's OK to slap him, it's OK to spit on him, it's OK to kick him sometimes. It doesn't really matter.''

Young Palestinians are mostly arrested for throwing stones at Jewish settlers or Israeli soldiers.

Night-time arrests
At a recent protest, I watched a gang of Palestinian boys darting amongst the olive trees, picking up stones and rocks to throw at the soldiers. Some used sling-shots. Many had a scarf or shawl wrapped round their face to hide their identity. The soldiers responded with tear gas and sound grenades. Sometimes they have used rubber-coated bullets too.

Often after an incident like this, Israeli soldiers raid a West Bank village. Usually in the middle of the night.

LIKE THIS:

The arrests can be brutal. ''Their faces were painted when they came for him. It was frightening. All those soldiers for one boy. They put iron weights on his back in the jeep and beat him all the way to jail. He couldn't get up for a week.''

Mohammad Ballasi's 15-year-old son, also called Mohammad, was arrested by Israeli soldiers for stone-throwing. We met him and his wife just outside an Israeli military base in the West Bank. Palestinian youngsters are tried in military tribunals.

The tribunals regard minors as Palestinians aged 16 or under. In Israel's civil courts minors are young people under the age of 18.

(IMPORTANT NOTE HERE: This is quite stunning, because in actuality, the IDF have a policy of allowing and encouraging, the killing of children aged 12. So what we see, is Israel has a policy of killing 12 year olds, trying children aged 16 and lower in “Military Tribunals” no less!! Yet, for Israeli “children” Israel decides to use the worldwide legal age of 18 for their own. So, in effect Israel has three policies when it comes to Palestinian children. All of them Illegal)

The first time Mohammad's parents saw him since he was arrested two weeks before was at his trial. He pleaded guilty. ''When you're beaten like that, you would confess against your own mother," said Suad Ballasi, choking back tears.

''He's a child. His friends are playing in the street and he is in handcuffs. I couldn't stop crying in court. My heart feels like it's going to explode.'' The human rights organisation Defence for Children International (DCI) has written a report accusing Israel's military of what it describes as the systematic and institutionalised ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children by the Israeli authorities.

Gerard Horton is an international lawyer for DCI. He said Mohammad's Ballasi's story is a familiar one. ''We see these stories again and again. Israel is a signatory to the UN convention against torture. It's also a signatory to the UN convention on the rights of the child - and under customary international law, it's not permissible to mistreat and torture, particularly children, who are obviously more vulnerable than adults."

He told me that Israel arrested 9,000 Palestinians last year. Seven hundred of those were children. Mr Horton says the military tribunals need to process cases quickly. DCI believes the system is designed so that it is in an adult or a child's interest to plead guilty. Gerard Horton says Palestinians tend to end up in jail longer if they try to fight their case.

Mohammad Khawaja had just turned 13 when he was arrested.

''They dragged me from my home by the scruff of the neck. The more I cried the more they choked me," he said.

"My mum was screaming. They pulled me along on my stomach. My knees were bleeding. They beat me with their guns and kicked me all the way to the jeep.
"They cuffed my hands and legs, blind-folded me and left me there for 24 hours. I thought I was going to die.

"Later interrogators wanted me to tell on other people. I wouldn't. They beat me with plastic chairs. They told me to sign a paper written in Hebrew. I don't read or speak it. Because I signed it they put me in jail.''

Israel's military denies any suggestion that the abuse of young Palestinians is routine, but the army says it has to guard against Palestinian children involved in what it describes as "acts of terror".

(e.g. Throwing stones)

Nightmares
Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibowitz is a spokeswoman for Israel's military.
''Even though it's just a stone or just a Molotov cocktail, they're deadly weapons. Doesn't matter who did it - they're deadly weapons," she said.

(So the next time your neighbour’s child throws a stone you have the right to kill him. Let’s see how well that defence works in an American court or anywhere else in the sane world)Please take the time to read about Israels policy on killing children HERE and jailing children HERE, and civilians HERE you WILL be Shocked!

Abbas Goes Mental...Becomes Delusional

Abbas Goes Mental at FATAH Conference. Oh, where do I start, me says whilst shaking my head in disbelief. Here’s the subject of the opening statement from Abbas the dictator and Israeli Agent. Notice how he shoots himself in the foot (hint-bolded words are a clue):

Telegraph Mr Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority who is also known as Abu Mazen, said Hamas was guilty of polarizing the Palestinian people and usurping legitimate politicians after they won an election in Gaza but then ran Fatah out of the territory two years ago.

Let’s break this down; “Hamas was guilty of polarizing the Palestinian people and usurping legitimate politicians” So, because HAMAS won a legitimate election, monitored by international representatives, then declared to be legal and fair, this somehow translates into some evil plan to “polarize” Palestinians. I'd say there was a gaping polarization long before the first vote was cast! Ooooh, that’s the problem when you have open and free elections, sometimes they don’t’ go as you planned, its called democracy. Instead of rejecting their democratic mandate, perhaps Abbas should prove he supports the vote of the Palestinian people and form a Government with those who actually won the Majority of votes in the election, and btw, that would be HAMAS. They won 76 seats out of 132, which is a BIG majority. FATAH only took 43 seats, a CLEAR minority. Then after the Battle of Gaza in 2007, HAMAS was thrown out of the PNA in the West Bank, and replaced by FATAH and others. Leaving them only Gaza. Like I said, Abbas supports democracy when the results suit, just like Israel and America.

So, here’s the next bit of his statement that is massive BS; “usurping legitimate politicians after they won an election in Gaza” what? He just said HAMAS usurped “legitimate” politicians, after it “won” an election in “Gaza” Three big porkies in that statement. In fact, it is the other way round, in the West Bank city of Ramallah, a FATAH stronghold, HAMAS actually won ALL the seats except one that must be filled by a Christian. So, who is “usurping” who? And when Abbas makes the statement that HAMAS won in “Gaza” that is also a lie and covered in the above sentence as well where I point out HAMAS victory in Ramallah, clearly the West Bank and NOT Gaza. To address the next porkie pie lie, we can take a look at what was said immediately after the election in the West Bank by FATAH officials and the then FATAH Prime Minister:

Washington PostPrime Minister Ahmed Qureia, another Fatah leader, resigned his post along with his cabinet early Thursday, as reports of Hamas's victory began to circulate. Qureia acknowledged in submitting his resignation that Hamas had earned the right to form the next cabinet. This is the choice of the people," Qureia, a member of the party's discredited old guard who did not run for reelection, told reporters here. "It should be respected."

So, it is Abbas who is not respecting the Democratic Mandate of Palestinian voters, and here is part of the reason why:

Washington Post The election results stunned U.S. and Israeli officials, who have repeatedly stated that they would not work with a Palestinian Authority that included Hamas. Javier Solana, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said in a statement that the Palestinian people had "voted democratically and peacefully."

We clearly have a situation where once again America (and Israel) thought “wrongly” that FATAH would win the majority.America and Israel have no understanding of Muslims what so ever. As they did not, and the election was declared legal and democratic by Bush himself the day of the elections, but before he knew the outcome. Then when Israel, America and crooked corrupt FATAH don’t like the democratic results, they then begin to strip power from those who actually WERE elected. This is why any deal with FATAH and Israel will fail miserably without HAMAS being involved. If you make deals with the minority, then you cannot expect success. Ah, but never you mind, Israel and the US have a plan, which I will cover in another post.

And finally, I’m saying this now, something’s up with this conference and it’s not going to be fair and square. FATAH is in the midst of a split, they are terribly corrupt, they give everything to Israel and get nothing in return (witness all the settlements in the WEST bank, none in Gaza, wonder why?) Abbas has put off this conference for ages as he knew he did not have majority support even within his own party. The recent accusations on the death of Yassir Arafat are only one tiny aspect of the split. Given that Israel stated it would allow all FATAH members from GAZA to cross the border for the conference, and Israel also let out of jail other FATAH members, Israel is clearly attempting to pad the vote in favor of Abbas. And I’ll bet money that other FATAH members who are not in favor of Abbas will be denied entry. Abbas term as President ended in January, there is no way Abbas would have finally called the conference if he did not believe or know that he had the majority, he’d never risk being replaced otherwise. It’s an American/Israeli/FATAH fix, and it will end in tears for all…………..you heard it here first.

Uh Oh, Somebody's Not Happy

Israel's Ambassador Michael Oren has been called into the Principals office for a stern talking to! (make frown face here) Yes, Headmaster Obama is none too thrilled with Michael Oren who represents an evil ruthless gang that has been operating in the area. The terrorist gang has been forcing people to leave their homes at gunpoint and then stealing their homes and possessions.

The US State Department summoned the Israeli ambassador on Monday to protest the gunpoint eviction of two Palestinian families from their homes in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, an Israeli newspaper reported.

Haaretz said on Wednesday that US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman summoned ambassador Michael Oren the US views Sunday's evictions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood as a "provocative" and "unacceptable" act that violates the Road Map peace plan.

Israeli forces first demolished gates on the two houses and then forced some 50 members of the Al-Ghawi and Hanoun families out at gunpoint, without letting them remove furniture or belongings. Israeli settlers who claim to own the buildings were then allowed to move in. source

These evil Satanic settlers need to be sent back to Hell from whence they came from. Yes, There is a special place in Hell for them all, at the right hand of Satan, exactly where they belong!

Israel Targets More Children

Much sadness in Israel today as they discover the live ordinances they left in Gaza in the hopes of killing more Palestinian children, has in fact, not killed them. Instead, thanks to Israel, one child, a ten year old is in a specialised eye hospital. Most likely another innocent person blinded by Israeli evilness.

Two Palestinian children were injured on Tuesday evening when ordinance left behind by the Israeli army exploded in Al-Bureij Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Palestinian medical sources identified the victims as ten-year-old Khamis Abu Arab and his brother, eight-year-old Muhammad. Khamis, according to the sources, was hospitalized at a specialist eye hospital while Muhammad received treatment for light wounds and was released. source

FAIL~Israeli Soldier Killed By Tank

What a great driver this guy is, ready, aim, crunch..........Well, what can I say. If they weren't so busy mucking about trying to hold on to stolen land, perhaps they'd not be suffering "friendly crunching" incidents. Updated, Just have to add this comment from Greg:

It's obvious that the tank was anti-Semitic.
05 August, 2009

Heres the report:

Bethlehem – Ma’an/Agencies – An Israeli soldier was killed early on Wednesday when a tank flipped over during a training exercise in the occupied Golan Heights.

Three others were mildly injured in the accident, according to the website of the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

Censorship~Acquired Target America

I write quite a lot of posts about the Zionists attempting to expand it's agenda of censorship. Today there is an excellent op-ed by Jeff Gates over at Middle East Online regarding the new push by the ADL for a re-write of the laws governing "hate crime." You see, the term "hate crime" is the pretty wrapping paper that covers the deeper nefarious agenda of "America's Best Friend"

To betray, you must first befriend. To defraud, you must first create trust. Accountability for this trans-generational duplicity will commence as the ADL’s true motives become transparent and its supporters apparent. The restoration of national security requires that those complicit in this covenant—including cooperative lawmakers and their staffs—are held accountable for their support of this statute. read it all HERE

Israel has a long standing "censorship" policy. For those who think Israel is a democracy like America, think again. Just take a gander at this report from 2006 for a shocker:

Israel's chief military censor, who has -- in her own words -- "extraordinary power." She can silence a broadcaster, block information and put journalists in jail.

"I can, for example, publish an order that no material can be published. I can close a newspaper or shut down a station. I can do almost anything," Col. Sima Vaknin said Wednesday.

Get ready America, your freedom of speech will soon be gone...........

"Regrettable" ....The Other Choices

Hillary Clinton has called the continued ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem "Regrettable." After reading that lack lustre phrase. I wondered, as one would wonder, what other choices were available. So, I dutifully looked up all the synonyms for the word "Regrettable" such as: afflictive, calamitous, deplorable, dire, disappointing, distressing, dreadful, grievous, heartbreaking, ill-advised, lamentable, pitiable, pitiful, sad, shameful, unfavorable, unhappy, woeful; Given these choices,perhaps the words "Dire, Deplorable, Dreadful, Grievous, or Shameful" would have been a much better description of reality

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned on Monday Israel’s expulsion of two Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem, although later and in softer terms than her European counterparts.

“Well, I think these actions are deeply regrettable,” she said, source

The Convoys You DON'T Hear About

The big convoys to Gaza are wonderful, but there are hundreds of other un-sung hero's working for Palestine. We all hear about the big George Galloway Convoys and the big ones with Cynthia McKinney and so many other high profile people, and that is all good. But, the truth is there are hundreds of smaller ones that go relatively un-noticed, despite their hard work. So today I want to plug a group of people who have worked their collective "Arses" off to bring aid to Gaza. They are now at the border and should pass though very soon we hope. It all depends on the Evil Rogue State now, so let us all wish them well and support them as they now attempt to enter Gaza with the much needed aid. Their story is heartfelt, give it a read and give them your support. And remember that every day regular unknown people, who you never hear of, manage to do amazing things for Palestine. Here is the story of "Pathways to Palestine", or in Irish "Slí Phalaistín"

Palestine - Irish Cyclists Reach Jerusalem on 6000km Journey to Gaza

Cycling close to double the distance of the Tour de France, four Irish cyclists are now on the final stretch of their journey to from Ireland to Gaza.

The students, having just reached Palestine, arrived into Jerusalem Saturday and will attempt to cross into Gaza over the coming days. Their 6000km cycle aims to raise money in support of an emergency appeal to provide for neo-natal care and medical resources for burn victims in Gaza.

The initiative came from Eoghan Quinn (21), a type-1 diabetic, after he learned of the restrictions on medical supplies reaching Gaza. “As a diabetic I am completely dependant on constant access to medicine. I wanted to use my fortunate circumstance to help those cut off from the outside world in Gaza.”

They set off on their arduous journey from Ireland on June 22 and have been cycling over 150km a day, resting only once a week. “We are really looking forward to reaching Gaza, said cyclist Ronan Sheehan adding “we have overcome hypothermia in France, several falls with some on busy highways and survived being chased by wild hounds in central Turkey, its been tough but epic”.

The cyclists have been assisted by a small support crew which includes John Lyttle: “I am in absolute awe of the lads for what they have achieved so far and through my background as a student physiotherapist and first aider, I aim to help in any small way in the completion of their mission”

The intrepid travellers have received support from around the world, including a formal motion of commendation passed by the Scottish Parliament and a reception in the Irish Parliament hosted by Irish MPs and Senators. As they travelled through each country the team documented the trip on their website via an innovative audio blog that lets them phone and ‘phlog’ direct to the site. (Also posted are many photos!!)

According to cyclist Gearoid O Cuinn, Gaza’s medical infrastructure has been crippled by the two year long siege that has led to widespread malnutrition and many preventable deaths. “We are working with the health care charity ‘Medical Aid for Palestinians’ – MAP - to try in some small way to alleviate the situation,” said Gearoid.

If they succeed their back-up vehicle will be donated to a rehabilitation hospital that was partially destroyed in the January offensive. “Even as we prepare to reach Gaza we will continue in our efforts to raise money for our charity (MAP) via our website www.pathwaystopalestine.com” said Tom Watts, member of the support team “All monies raised online go directly to their operations on the ground”, he added.

The team consists of Eoghan a town planning student; John Maher (30), medical student; Ronan Sheehan(21), pharmacy student and Gearóid Ó Cuinn (29) law student, all of whom attended the same high school. The support vehicle travelling with the four cyclists will be driven by trainee physiotherapist, John Lyttle (23), from Derry and Tom Watts (21), from Sheffield, who studies psychology.

In Another "Nazi" Move..............

Israel says to all Arabs, you WILL sing the Führer’s praise:

A leading Arab educator in Israel has denounced the decision of Gideon Saar, the education minister, to require schools to study the Israeli national anthem.

Officials announced last week that they were sending out special “national anthem kits” to 8,000 schools, including those in the separate Arab education system, in time for the start of the new academic year in September.

The anthem, known as Ha-Tikva, or The Hope, has long been unpopular with Israel’s Arab minority because its lyrics refer only to a Jewish historical connection to the land.

Mr Saar’s initiative is widely seen among Israel’s 1.3 million Arab citizens as a further indication of the rising nationalistic tide sweeping policymakers.source

Another Zionist Filth Crime

Ooooosie, it seems that Zionists just cannot stay out of the news these days. I mean we have the 25 million dollar scam on elderly Americans, we have the New Jersey Rabbis money laundering and selling body parts on the black market, and now this little piece of dirt. A director for a Holocaust museum and member of the Anti-Defamation League has been arrested for possessing more than 23 child pornography the video speaks for itself:
