Israel's Biggest Problem Not HAMAS

Zionism, Peace, and Israel’s Self Created Problems
By Ban Sidhe at Irish4Palestine

Zionist Israel has a self created problem, but like all movements based on a racist ideology, they tend to begin to self destruct over time, in the light of a world that is beginning to understand that no country, no matter how great, can exist alone. And, for all intents and purposes, Israel IS alone.

Whilst Israel may have some Governmental Political support from within the ranks of major world countries like the US, England, France, Germany and Spain. They gain this support by using arm twisting, coercion, money, and a virtual world wide Borg Collective of lobby groups to both “get and maintain” this support. They do not get this support because they earn it nor deserve it, and thus must continually work 24/7 using everything they have to both monitor and protect this ill gotten support. Whilst at the same time Israel exists not as a free and respected country, but rather as a huge prison, behind walls, fences, barbed wire, check points and borders that must at all costs be continually patrolled in order to protect the criminals inside. This also poses a second problem for Israel. They need to forcibly bring young people into the army to continue this perpetual war and 365 day a year, 24/7 patrolling. So, when the Zionist indoctrination from birth fails in some cases, and a young Israeli sees the truth and refuses to become a prison guard or paid killer, then the state ostracizes them because Zionism is a separatist movement. You are either with us or against us, a Bush/Zionist classic.

The world governments may be blind, but the world’s people are not. Israel’s most serious problem is not what Israel has, but rather what it has lost forever on the heels of the Gaza Genocide. For despite Israel’s ability to effectively control powerful countries like the US, and through those means, then control the UN committees to turn a blind eye. What Israel cannot have, does not have, and cannot buy with all it’s groups and money, is the support of the people on the ground in those very same countries whose Governments turn a blind eye to Israel’s crimes.

I said at the beginning that Israel has a huge self created problem with regards to both having peace and moreover the continued existence of Zionist Israel as it stands today.

I believe that some within the Israeli government have the ability to recognize the future is a grim one, should Israel remain on its present Zionist self created course. However, if you spend years of building up this Racist Zionist Ideology so as to reap the financial and geographical benefits of Aliyah; and at the same time encourage the building of illegal settlements. And allowing the creation of groups and organisations who are encouraged and allowed to work outside the law and even murder with impunity. This, coupled with the fact that no matter what Israel claims, it does actually realise it must change with the times and can no longer get away with what it has in the past, especially after Gaza, so how does Israel put the Jeannie back in the bottle now without some Zionist Revolt against the State and Government? That’s my point.

The Racist Separatist Zionist Ideology encouraged to flourish for years, is now the self inflicted death wound to Israeli Peace and Israel’s existence as we know it today. And it can be no more evident as in the sentiments within excerpts of a letter to the editor of a Jewish paper in America from an American Zionist:

Letters
Published: 17 July 2009

The June 26 special report regarding “radical settlers” included articles each more negative than the next. In fact, it seemed that the entire settler movement was guilty by association. Is it wrong for a few aggrieved Jews to take matters into their own hands when faced with Arab violence and Israeli ambivalence?

Is it wrong for some Jews to threaten the soldiers and leaders who plot their violent and undemocratic expulsion from Judea and Samaria?

However, the real cause for what is perceived as “radical settlers” is the marginalization that they have been subjected to by the Israeli body politic. After being actively solicited to settle all of the liberated parts of the land of Israel and having been raised with the history of the Zionist movement, they have now had that support abruptly removed.

They have been inculcated with the belief that Jews living in Judea and Samaria is religiously and historically correct; now due to political expediency they are being sacrificed to satisfy the American administration and the world.

What is even more bizarre is that while Israelis view 260,000 Jews as “settlers” the United States now views over 600,000 Jews as settlers — as this now includes all Jews living in the Jerusalem neighbourhoods annexed by Israel after 1967.

As such, I side with the settlers —

Jews have the right to live in the land of Israel and it is the responsibility and imperative of the entire Jewish people to support this. It was the same during the Persian and Roman times as it is now. Nothing has changed — certainly not this essential truth.

What I can say from experience of the peace process in Ireland; is when you have a movement, you must take that movement’s support with you in order to have any success. This takes time, effort and great leadership in talking to your people about the real politics of the situation. So, if Israel truly does want peace, then they have a huge road ahead of them concerning their own inhabitants. They will have to destroy the monster they created in Zionism. People like to talk about HAMAS and FATAH needing to unite. But even if that took place tomorrow, Israel is FAR behind the eight ball. Because for years Palestinians have had time to adjust to the reality that in today’s world they will only get back the land up to the 1967 borders. They don’t like it, but they know it, and yes I don’t agree with that deal, but it’s the Political reality today. Even HAMAS has acknowledged this in many statements recently and accepts it for peace. Israel, on the other hand, has not spent any time adjusting its people to this very same reality.

So, for Israel, as it turns out today, the years spent successfully encouraging every Jew in the world to come settle in occupied land, operate in lawlessness, commit murder and believe it is their right to occupy all the land will ultimately cause Israel to die at its own Zionist hands.


Zionists will be the destruction of Israel, how prophetic!

Israeli FATAH Agents Seize HAMAS Members

When will they learn to stop being Israeli Agents and join in solidarity with other Palestinians to stand against Israel the occupying force. Seriously time for FATAH to re-think their strategy, which, for cooperation with Israel they have received more settlements. Yeah, how's that working for ya FATAH?

Bethlehem – The Hamas movement on Monday said that Palestinian Authority forces detained seven members in the West Bank on Sunday night.

The movement added in a statement sent to Ma’an that PA forces arrested in Qalqiliya Nour Ad-Din J’eidy, Jamal Al-Husny, Mursy Jaber Shreim, and Saed Samha.

In Jericho the forces allegedly arrested Ibrahim Kassab and Iyad Hamdy Wahbeh.

In Salfit, Omar Mer’y was arrested, the movement said. source

Israel Gives FATAH its Reward

The Jewish Jihadist Terrorists are moving forward with their evil racist plan of wiping the Palestinians off the map. Their greed, arrogance and lack of respect for the law knows no boundaries. They are a Thieving Racist Band of Greedy Terrorists hell bent on grabbing by force or theft, as much land as possible, before they are forced to behave like human beings, instead of vermin.

Ever notice how Israel supports corrupt FATAH in the West Bank? Ever notice how FATAH’s “talks” with Israel and cooperation with Israel has done nothing to stop them stealing more land? Wonder why no settlements are in Gaza? And yet people want to condemn HAMAS for fighting back? When for years the people have seen the “rewards” FATAH has received for its attempts at making peace with Israel? Yet people have the audacity to question HAMAS’ armed struggle and cannot see that it is a natural reaction as FATAH have made no gains what so ever for their non-violent stance and attempts at talks. For Israel, talks are seen as only one thing, an opportunity to expand their settlement activities, whilst at the same time appearing to want to move forward in so called talks. Additional settlements are the reward FATAH has received from Israel, additional settlements are what the USA have received for its attempts at “talking” with Israel. Time to increase actions against Israel, talking does nothing except give them more time to steal and ethnically cleanse Palestinians off their own land.

Israel defies US with plan for 240 new homes on Palestinian land

Israel's defence ministry has proposed legalising 60 existing homes at a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank, and building another 240 homes at the site, despite US calls for a halt to settlement growth.

It said the construction plan was put forward for public inspection shortly after the Israeli government was formed this spring and was first approved by Ehud Barak, the defence minister. It was now awaiting final approval.

The plan, which follows a pattern over many years of settlement growth, appears to challenge directly Barack Obama's administration, which has issued several clear calls for an end to the practice.

In an interview yesterday Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, said arguing about settlement activity was a waste of time. Last week, the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, told Israel's foreign minister, Avigdor ¬Lieberman, that Washington wanted "to see a stop to the settlements".

Bimkom said the plan covered 86 hectares (212 acres) and stretched across agricultural land belonging to the village of al-Jania, which is home to 1,200 Palestinians. The only way the farmers could reach their land was along a road which, under the new plan, would become an internal part of the settlement and therefore off-limits to Palestinians. "The new plan, which incorporates part of the road, will disable residents of al-Jania to work their lands and will greatly damage their freedom of movement," Bimkom said.

Water Reservoir Hill was mentioned in a 2005 report for the Israeli government by the lawyer Talia Sasson, who found it was neither authorised nor approved by the Israeli government and was built without an approved, detailed, plan. Some of it is built on privately owned Palestinian land and the site is far from the main settlement blocs and several miles inside the West Bank.

Today I am biting my tongue in order to not say that I wish someone would return the favour and wipe them off the map as they are doing to Palestine. Ooooops, I said it. So hard not to hate and despise them, for their own actions create the very hatred they are now experiencing. When day after day, atrocities after atrocities, racist action after racist action, theft after theft, murder after murder, kidnap after kidnap, internment after internment, enslavement after enslavement, over 60 UN resolutions broken, defiance after defiance, hundreds of babies, children and women murdered, Illegal use of weapons, white phosphorous, DIME missiles, collective punishment of an entire population. So this begs the question; “What’s left to Like?” nothing really, and that is Israel’s self created destiny and self created problem.

Even with all the billions spent on their “Hasbara Machine” with the most recent folly being the “Tel Aviv” beaches being built around the world in an obvious effort to “re-brand” themselves as “normal” people, nothing will work this time. There is simply not enough money to make people forget what they have done and continue to do on a daily basis. Here is Obama’s recent answer to the Zionists:

US cancels Netanyahu meet over settlements:
JERUSALEM (AFP) — Washington called off a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the US Middle East envoy because of Israel's refusal to halt settlement growth, an Israeli newspaper said.

The mass-selling Yediot Aharonot, quoting an unnamed Israeli official, said that Washington issued a "stern" message to Netanyahu to halt all settlement activity on occupied Palestinian land, including so-called "natural growth" within existing settlements.

"Once you've finished the homework we gave you on stopping construction in the settlements, let us know. Until then, there's no point in having (US Middle East envoy George) Mitchell fly to Paris to meet you," the official said.

This is not enough from Obama. I did a wee experiment the other day; I searched for blogs in support of Palestine. And guess what I found? Literally too many to count, with the majority of them having come into creation both during and after the Gaza Genocide, just like this blog. The tide has turned for the Zionist Entity, the mask has slipped, the world has now seen the evil face of Zionism and we don’t like it and don’t want it advancing it’s evil in the Middle East any longer. Today Palestine has more support than it has ever had, we must not waste this, we must not stop protesting, blogging and making convoys to Gaza. This is how we fight against the terrorists of the Zionist Entity, by continually reminding the world, each and every day of their continuing crimes against their neighbors, and continually calling on our own countries and politicians to stop the Zionist Cancer that is eating Palestinian land and killing its people.Old Irish Saying: Ní síocháin gan saoirse= no peace without freedom

FATAH to Release HAMAS Prisoners

Abbas to free Hamas prisoners

In a goodwill gesture to his political rivals Hamas, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has ordered his security forces to release all prisoners belonging to the Islamist organization before the renewal of inter-factional talks.

Representatives of Abbas' Fatah faction, which has been the dominant player in Palestinian politics since the inception of the Palestine Liberation Organization, will meet with Hamas officials later this week in an attempt to hammer out an agreement on national unity.

HAMAS Rightly Rejects Fayyad Government

Ya know, I just get so sick of the "meddling" by outside forces and the weak corrupt Fatah. As difficult and hard as it may be, and as much as America and especially Israel would like to see a bunch of Palestinians in Government where they are sure they can get a "good deal" for their side, it will never last, and never work. If the US learns anything from the Irish Peace Process, then let this be lesson number one. Hamas is correct in its assessment. The talks need to continue until all Palestinian sides are represented and an agreement is reached. You cannot form a government that then goes on to negotiate for a Palestinian state, where this government is not representative of a vast portion of the Palestinian population. Can't do it, that is not "democracy" and it is not respecting the vote.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has refused to accept any government formed by former Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad.

The Palestinian leader in exile, Khaled Meshaal, discredited Fayyad's government in a speech he made in Yarmouk Camp near the Syrian capital, Damascus.

"The rush in re-forming Fayyad's government is a response to an American demand. This government wasn't legal in the past and even not legal when it resigned. We don't accept a government that is not based on Palestinian legislation and law," Meshaal said. source

BREAKING~ HAMAS & FATAH AGREE

BIG movement this morning in the talks between HAMAS and FATAH. Both parties have agreed the PLO as a National Reference, but only until the elections are held. It can be looked at again at that time, should HAMAS gain in the electorate. This agreement today makes moving forward towards Obama's peace plan, more of a reality for Palestine. Of course, you will still have Israel kicking and dragging it's Zionist feet. But I dare say it, I am beginning to believe Obama is going to force the Issue with Israel. I say this for several reasons. For me personally the fact that Gerry Adams and the Republican Movement at very high levels have become involved, to me, means they are assured the US administration is serious. Otherwise they'd not waste their time. Additonally, forming this unity government means that they can receive the aid promised from the USA. The aid Obama said could go to Gaza, even if it meant Hamas was in Government. You can read about there HERE. Anyhow, report below:

Rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah have agreed to accept the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as a “national reference” until new elections are held for the Palestine National Council (PNC).

By agreeing this the parties resolved a recent dispute in which Hamas called for the PLO to be replaced with a more inclusive organization. The PLO does not include Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

The agreement is the first to emerge from the fourth round of talks in Cairo aimed at reuniting the two movements and establishing a unified Palestinian government. Both factions have labeled the negotiations a “last chance” for unity.

At the end of the first day of meetings on Monday, leaders from both parties refused to make statements about the negotiations, which were expected to end without a comprehensive agreement.

On Monday Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he rejected a demand by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Palestinians recognize Israel “as a Jewish state,” a condition for renewed peace talks.

"I do not accept it," Abbas said, according to Reuters. "It is not my job to give a description of the state. Name yourself the Hebrew Socialist Republic - it is none of my business.”

The PLO recognized “the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security.” In return, Israel did not recognize an independent Palestinian state but rather acknowledged the PLO as the legitimate representative of the Palestinians.

Palestinian negotiators have rejected this demand for recognition of Israel as a “Jewish state” because Israel conceives of its Jewish nature in terms of its Jewish majority. This, in turn, would preclude the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes in what is now Israel.

Recognition of Israel is also an issue in the Hamas-Fatah talks, as international donors, including the US, demand that any Palestinian government recognize Israel’s right to exist as a condition for international aid. In this sense, Abbas pronouncement could have been seen as a gesture to Hamas. In the same speech Abbas focused on unity, calling for the creation of a national consensus government through the Cairo process.

Hamas however rejected Abbas’ pronouncement as “cheap marketing of American conditions.” In a statement Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum criticized Abbas’ insistence on “futile negotiations” with Israel. source

Hamas & Fatah Solution In The Works

Yet more good news, an interim solution may be available which will allow the parties to work together whilst still recognising that a continued approach to a political resolution must still be worked out. If agreed, this would allow both parties to work for the good of Gaza, whilst still working on the outstanding issues of party representation. This is good for two reasons, firstly it means Gaza benefits,but most importantly, it re-focuses attention where it should be, on Israel!!

Hamas is studying an Egyptian proposal that suggests the construction of a national committee charged with hashing out the vision of a new transitional government, defining its mission and clearing political issues in advance of its creation.

On Wednesday official Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum confirmed that the party has received the proposal and is drafting questions about it that will be addressed at the next round of conciliation talks in Cairo on 26 April.

Barhum said the party had rejected the idea of the proposal after hearing several Egyptian media reports, saying Hamas felt the proposal would have resulted in a confederation between the West Bank and Gaza, but the party insisted on establishing Palestine as one state with one people. The party was also concerned about the proposal initially because it had not been covered during their talks in Cairo.

Hamas “has questions” about the proposal, Barhoum said. “The most important of which is the fate of the two governments in the West Bank and Gaza once the committee is formed.”

Barhoum noted Egypt proposed the committee as a way out of the political deadlock and it will be examined thoroughly with the will to bringing Palestinian unity to its people.

Explaining Hamas’ stance on the proposal thus far, however, he said the party understands membership in the committee as not being aligned with any of Ramallah’s political policies. The committee itself, according to the proposal, is envisioned as an umbrella body coordinating between the West Bank and Ramallah governments.

One elements essential to the committee is its role in the reconstruction of Gaza.

Hamas and Fatah Talking Again

Fatah has agreed with Hamas to continue talks in Gaza in advance of scheduled talks in Cairo, senior Fatah official Abdallah Al-Ifranji said Wednesday following his return from meetings with Hamas and factional leaders in Gaza.

This, is a GOOD Thing, they need to work it out so the can tackle Isarel with a united front.

Al-Ifranji entered the Gaza Strip last week on orders from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas along with his colleague President of the Gaza Development and Reconstruction Committee Marwan Abd Al-Hamid. The two returned to Ramallah on Tuesday.

Al-Ifranji called his mission in Gaza an “ice breaking” one that would prevent factional members from “using weapons against each other.” He also confirmed that the talks in Gaza were not a replacement for the 26 April talks in Cairo but rather a parallel process.

“Dialogue with Hamas has created chances to continue discussions that began in Cairo,” Al-Ifranji said. He noted Abbas would be updated on the mission when he returned to the West Bank. link

Adams Gaza Report To George Mitchell

Adams to send out Middle East report

SINN FÉIN president Gerry Adams is to send a report on his Middle East trip this week to US peace envoy George Mitchell.

He plans to send copies of the report to Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin, the Israeli government and to Sinn Féin’s contacts internationally.

Speaking by telephone from Jerusalem, Mr Adams expressed shock at the “wholesale destruction” he saw during his visit to the Gaza Strip this week.

He also visited the Israeli town of Sderot whose residents have been the subject of rocket attack from Palestinian militants.

“These are just ordinary working people and we said that to Hamas,” Mr Adams said. However, he added that there was “no proportionality” between Israel’s attack on Gaza and the rockets fired into Sderot.

Mr Adams said he had to walk through the Eretz checkpoint on his way out of Gaza, and that it took 2½ half hours to get through. He also visited a Palestinian refugee camp at Bethlehem, and met Israeli non-governmental organisations in Jerusalem.

On the destruction in Gaza, he said: “You actually have to be there to see how bad it is.”

He also met an official from the Israeli foreign ministry, but no government politicians.

Describing Gaza as “an open-air prison”, the Sinn Féin leader highlighted the poor state of medical facilities in particular. source

Abbas to Netanyahu "Happy Passover"

Not sayin nuthin, except this is sickening.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas telephoned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday morning and wished him a happy Passover.

The telephone conversation was the first between the two since Netanyahu entered office as prime minister.

Sources in Jerusalem said that the initiative by the PA president is testimony to his readiness to hold talks with Netanyahu despite relatively bellicose statements coming from Ramallah soon after the establishment of Netanyahu's government.

Ties between the Palestinian Authority and Israel atrophied in the wake of Operation Cast Lead, the IDF's campaign in the Gaza Strip at the beginning of the year.

Former prime minister Ehud Olmert, who made great efforts to close a deal with the PA before he left office, accused the PA of failing to reach an agreement. In the penultimate cabinet meeting over which he presided, Olmert said the Palestinian leadership lacked the courage to make the final steps towards peace. source

Just loved that last statement there by Olmert: "The Palestinian leadership lacked the courage to make the final steps towards peace." Translation: Palestinians refused to give everything away to Israel.

Israel Does NOT Want Peace~PA Chief Negotiator

Erekat Warns Obama: Netanyahu Gov't Doesn't Want Peace

(IsraelNN.com) Saeb Erekat, chief negotiator for the Palestinian Authority, has raised the alarm in Washington D.C. against the incoming Netanyahu government.
Erekat wrote in an editorial column published in Saturday's edition of The Washington Post that Israel's commitment to peace is in doubt, while it is being made a priority by U.S. President Barack Obama as part of America's "more integrated approach" to Middle East policy.

"Peace is not a word that sits comfortably with the Israeli right, which will dominate Israel's new government, even with Labor's decision this week to join it," he wrote.

Taking a swipe at the new coalition, Erekat added, "Among its ranks are those who have long opposed peace with Palestinians, no matter the cost; who use the cover of religion to advocate extremist views and who have supported the expulsion of Palestinians or now devise loyalty tests to achieve the same result."

The PA negotiator bitterly noted that incoming Prime Minister-designate Binyamin Netanyahu has proposed an "economic peace" rather than accept the notion of a two-state solution from the outset, but Erekat stopped short of issuing an open ultimatum. "Palestinians have not engaged in years of negotiations to see them fail. But neither is our patience unlimited," he warned.

Among the list of "musts" that Israel is expected to comply with – ending with the establishment of a PA state based on the pre-1967 borders -- is "an immediate and complete freeze on settlement activity, including all natural growth and the construction of Israel's '[security] wall."

The PA chief negotiator warns that "without a settlement freeze, there will be no two-state solution left to speak of."

Accuses Israel of 'Crippling Regime of Closures'

Erekat also slammed Israel's "crippling regime of closures" and called for Jerusalem to remove all security restrictions that have reduced terrorism in the country.

"Checkpoints, Israel's wall, the permit system it imposes on Palestinians and other restrictions on movement frustrate Palestinian life, fragment Palestinian society and strangle our economy,"

Erekat also cited the "urgent need to reopen Gaza's border crossings to allow the movement of goods and people in and out of Gaza, especially desperately needed humanitarian supplies and reconstruction materials."

Gaza Crossings: Open or Closed?

Jerusalem-based spokesman Chris Gunness of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) also contends that Israel is choking the people of Gaza.

"The needs in Gaza remain immense and the urgent priority is and will continue to be building materials," Gunness told Israel National News in an email interview last week. "Karni is not open for imports, exports and humanitarian goods in an unrestricted sense according to the Access and Movement agreement of November 15th 2005."

When asked whether there was anything other than building materials that is desperately needed and not being allowed in to the region, Gunness replied, "You saw all the coverage of pasta and tomato paste?"

The comment was a reference to a complaint by a U.S. Senator several months ago over the omission of pasta on the list of approved products for shipment of humanitarian supplies in to Gaza. Israel has since allowed it to enter Gaza.

HAMAS "Will Not Recognise" FATAH Deals with Israel

Hamas will not accept nor recognise deals made between FATAH and Israel. And why should they, those deals failed miserably and there has now been a genocide in Gaza. Hamas won a landslide victory in a democratic election, therefore it is time to negotiate a new deal with Israel.

The Islamic Hamas movement on Saturday emphasized it will not recognize the peace obligations signed by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) with Israel.

Salah al-Bardaweel, a Hamas lawmaker, told the press that " Hamas can not accept the PLO's deals because any upcoming government would be formed by Hamas and Fatah and will reflect our views and we will re-compile any word the government speaks."

The PLO issue is still one of the biggest obstacles that prevents Hamas and President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah from reaching a unity deal in the Egyptian-hosted reconciliation talks.

The peace deals are mainly referred to the 1993 Israeli- Palestinian peace accords reached in Oslo which enabled the creation of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and stipulated the peace negotiations between the PLO and Israel.

Asked if Hamas can accept the PLO commitments, al-Bardaweel responded with a question: "Why should we put all the Palestinians in Oslo's ragged basket?"

The unity talks aim at forming a coalition mainly comprising Hamas, which won the parliamentary elections in 2006, and Fatah, to overcome several internal and external problems. But since the dialogue is comprehensive, the reforming of the PLO was put on the table.

Fatah demands that the new government must recognize the PLO commitments so the international community will deal with it in return, but Hamas refuses. link
