BREAKING~BRITAIN TO EXPEL ISRAELI OFFICIAL

PACK YUR BAGS RONNIE..........YOU ARE NEXT
I just heard on the news radio here that the Israeli Ambassador Ron Proser will be expelled from England regarding the Dubai incident.CORRECTION AND UPDATE, it's not ronnie boyo it's the top mossad man in England who's getting the boot instead. Dont get too excited, this is Americas friend giving Israel a sucker punch for dissing America recently and making a mockery out of Obama's feeble attempts at a "peace process." Yup, me thinks that the recent slap to Biden, followed by the announcment of more settlements, refusal to even "freeze" the illegal settlements, US General Petraeus comments on Israel, and now the big fat AIPAC bitch slap to Obama and America, where Netanyahu said they own Jerusalem......Now the US will flex it's muscles towards Israel, using their poodle England, to toss out the Zionist official:

source A British official says the government is to expel an Israeli diplomat following the use of fake British passports in the suspected Mossad assassination of a Hamas operative.Foreign Secretary David Miliband is scheduled to address Parliament Tuesday on the issue.

His office declined to provide details in advance. A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment ahead of the statement, says Britain will expel one Israeli diplomat.
Israel's ambassador to Britain Ron Prosor was called to London's Foreign Office on Monday for talks.

AND MORE:

source A ministerial statement to be made to Parliament will formally name the Israeli security services as responsible for the cloning of up to 15 British passports, which were copied after being taken away by airport officials.
The statement will say that it proved impossible to confirm definitively whether Mossad, the feared Israeli secret intelligence service, was responsible for the operation, with suspicion also resting on the Military Intelligence Directorate.
But the probe had determined for certain that the passports were cloned when British citizens passed through airports on their way into Israel, with officials taking them away for “checks” which lasted around 20 minutes.
Foreign Office sources expressed frustration that there was little more that could be done to “punish” Israel over the affair.
A number of those whose passports were stolen had dual British and Israeli nationality.

Anti-Semitism=A Word to Fit Every Situation

Jeff Gates asks the Trillion dollar question; "What is Anti-Semitism?" And whilst Jeff wrote a whole big impressive article about it (below). I could have saved Jeff all that typing because I can answer the question in one wee sentance. What is Anti-Semitism? Why it's the "catch all comeback line" for anything Israel wants to avoid dealing with. Anyone, or anything remotely critical of the Zionist State. Here's what Jeff has to say:


17 March 2010

link Jeff Gates considers how the definition of “anti-Semitism” has been broadened to an extent where any questioning of Israel’s relationship with or penetration of the United States political system, or of anything pertaining to 9/11 or the US’s war on Iraq, is deemed “anti-Semitic” and may pose a risk to the reputation or even the life of the questioner.

Several of us among the incurably curious asked ourselves a simple question: what is anti-Semitism? The fact that it must be written with a capital “S” says a lot.

Then we realized it also morphs. To that feature I can attest. In November 2002, I met a “John Doe” in London who proposed a research challenge. While meeting that challenge, I encountered various versions of anti-Semitism.

A colleague advised against this challenge. First, he fretted at the criminal nature of what the research has since confirmed. Then he inquired about my safety. That said a lot.

The colleague was MIT Professor Noam Chomsky. For his criticism of Israeli policy, he was attacked as a self-hating Jew. Were he not Jewish, doubtless he would have been an anti-Semite. For critics of Israel, those are the only two options. He cautioned me:

You’ll get the same thing: anti-Semitic, Holocaust denier, want to kill all the Jews, etc. It doesn’t matter what the facts are. Bear in mind that you are dealing with intellectuals, that is, what we call “commissars” and “apparatchiks” in enemy states.

Is anti-Semitism a geopolitical strategy? If so, for what purpose? Character assassination?

Ten months ago, I met Professor William Robinson at the University of California Santa Barbara campus. We met soon after he was attacked by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and its smear team.

Robinson had read Guilt By Association, the first release based on this research. His question mirrored Prof. Chomsky’s concern: “Are they going to kill me?” he asked. They are those who smear anyone critical of Israeli policy.

Anti-Semitism – A license to kill?

To his class on globalization, Robinson provided an email link to a photo essay critical of Israeli policy that had been circulating online for weeks. When two students complained to the ADL (Anti-Defamation League), its attack troops insisted on Robinson’s removal while its national network urged alumni to threaten the withholding of gifts and bequests to the university.

Word quickly spread among academics nationwide. That time-critical ADL strategy silenced on-campus criticism of the Israeli assault on Gaza. Is it anti-Semitic to suggest that’s how anti-Semitism works?

When the ADL intimidates on a national scale, does anti-Semitism morph into something even more sinister? The Gaza assault killed 1,400, including 400 Palestinian children. That slaughter was scheduled during America’s political and media “down time” – between Christmas 2008 and the January 2009 inaugural of Barack Obama.

Is it anti-Semitic to suggest a strategic motive behind the timing of Israel’s latest barbarity?

Then there’s the motive for 9/11. Is it anti-Semitic to raise that taboo subject? Ask those members of the 9/11 Commission who objected m—successfully – when the chair and vice-chair proposed hearings on the motivation for that high-profile provocation.

Instead, Americans were left to cope with the results of an overwrought reaction to an unexplained mass murder too quickly blamed on “Islamo”-fascism. Only now can we see the full costs in blood and treasure of a war waged on fixed intelligence and false pretences.

The fiscal tab alone is projected to top 3 trillion US dollars, including the future costs of military pensions, disabilities, record-level post-traumatic stress, suicides and so forth.

All of the money has been borrowed, a first for an American war. The interest cost could reach 700 billion dollars. Is it anti-Semitic to point out that debt is always the prize?

At the end of World War II, the victorious US was home to 50 per cent of the world’s productive power. Our bonds were guaranteed to be gilt-edged for at least two generations. Now we are widely hated, our credibility is shot, our credit rating is slipping and our economy teeters on a meltdown.

Is it anti-Semitic to ask: “What happened?”

Is it anti-Semitic to report that the so-called “mastermind” behind 9/11 cited as his motive the US-Israeli relationship? Is it anti-Semitic to ask for an accounting of the “but for” costs of this relationship?

But for this “special relationship” what would be the current condition of the US – financially, militarily, diplomatically, geopolitically? Would the computation of those costs be an exercise in anti-Semitism?

Is it anti-Semitic to call for a new 9/11 commission?
America was misled to wage war on Iraq. Who had a relationship with us that was privileged enough to succeed with such duplicity in plain sight?

Who had the means, motive, opportunity and – importantly – the stable nation state intelligence to deceive us from inside our own government? Is that question anti-Semitic?

We were betrayed. Does that betrayal trace to those who befriended us? We were defrauded. Does that treason trace to those we were induced to trust?

As counsel to the US Senate Finance Committee (1980-87), I crafted a federal tax law that governs the bulk of funds under management. Those funds surged from 800 billion dollars in 1980 to more than 17,000 billion dollars by the spring of 2007.

The result created a vast pool of “money-on-autopilot”. Today’s consensus belief can be simply put: money should be allowed to pursue more of itself – freely.

The unspoken assumption is that money is smarter than people. That’s the generally accepted truth behind the finance-fixated obsession now known as “economics”.

Legions of consensus-touting consultants insist that this One True Faith must guide lawmaking worldwide. By law, financial freedom has now become a proxy for personal freedom. Tribunals under the World Trade Organization may yet enforce that worldview.

How did that narrow perspective become a widely agreed-to mindset? How were we induced to set America’s course by those values peculiar to money?

Rather than the civil rights refrain, “Let my people go”, the consensus refrain is “Let my money go”. Were we induced by a subculture within a subculture... within a subculture to freely embrace the very money-myopic mindset that now endangers our freedom?

This mindset first surfaced as the “Chicago model” before morphing over decades into the “Washington” consensus.

How were we as a nation induced to brand American democracy with a point of view that, by law, displaces those values not denominated in money? Is it anti-Semitic to pose that question?

Shutting down debate
Early on in this challenge, I included the noun “Jew” in a Google search. I received in return an automated response from the ADL implying that I was an anti-Semite. Why?

More importantly, how did a Google response appear in my email inbox – automatically – from the ADL?

The ADL now conducts trainings for law enforcement under recently enacted federal hate crimes legislation. By my use of a common noun in an online search, am I now identified in a database as wanting to kill all the Jews?

Mark Yudoff, president of the University of California, could have intervened in the on-campus events that caused Professor Robinson to fear for his life. He declined. Richard Blum, chair of the state’s Board of Regents, could have intervened. He too declined.

Judith Yudoff is the immediate past international president of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, representing 760 synagogues. Blum’s wife, U S Senator Diane Feinstein, chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Is it anti-Semitic to report these facts?

My apologies. Clearly I don’t yet grasp what anti-Semitism is. Thus I throw the challenge to you the reader: what is it? Together perhaps we can sort this out.

Isarel Was A Mistake

The March/April 2010 issue of Moment magazine features a final interview with Howard Zinn, the counter-historian whose People’s History of the United States has become a bible of the campus Left.

Then Zinn answers questions about Israel itself, which he calls, in retrospect, a mistake.

How did you react to Israel’s creation in 1948?
I didn’t know a lot about it, but I remember speaking at some gathering to celebrate its founding. I wasn’t a Zionist. I just vaguely knew that a Jewish state was being created and that seemed like a good thing. I had no idea that the Jews were coming into an area occupied by Palestinians.

Were you critical of Israel before 1967?
Before 1967 Israel did not loom large in my consciousness. I was aware that there was a war between Israel and the Arab states in 1956, but it really wasn’t until 1967 and the taking of the occupied territories that I realized this was a serious problem. I remember reading I.F. Stone, who was very concerned with Israel.

How do you discuss Israel and Palestine with Jews who might be resistant to claims that Israel bears some responsibility for the conflict?
As always in very complicated issues where emotions come to the fore quickly, I try to first acknowledge the other party’s feelings. In the case of Israel I try to say, yes, I understand your sympathy for a Jewish state, and I understand that you become angry when rockets fall [in Sderot] or when a suicide bomber takes needless life. But that has to be seen in proportion. I try to appeal to the experience of Jews, the experience of the Holocaust, by saying, if it’s never again, it’s not just never again for Jews, it’s never again for anybody. I also try to present facts that are hard to put aside. Rockets from Gaza killed three Israelis; Israelis retaliated with an enormous bombardment that killed 1,000 people. You can’t simply write that off or say, well, they’re morally equivalent or it was bad on both sides. Or the Lebanese send rockets into Israel, killing a number of people, and the Israelis invade Lebanon in 1982 and there are 14,000 civilian casualties. These are horrors inflicted by a Jewish state. As a Jew I feel ashamed when I read these things…I [also] try to appeal to what I think are the best legacies of the Jewish people—people like Albert Einstein and Martin Buber, who cannot be simply written off, because they’re Jewish heroes. And these are people who were critical of Israel and sympathetic to Palestinians.

Do you think that Zionism was a mistake?
I think the Jewish State was a mistake, yes. Obviously, it’s too late to go back. It was a mistake to drive the Indians off the American continent, but it’s too late to give it back. At the time, I thought creating Israel was a good thing, but in retrospect, it was probably the worst thing that the Jews could have done. What they did was join the nationalistic frenzy, they became privy to all of the evils that nationalism creates and became very much like the United States—very aggressive, violent and bigoted. When Jews were without a state they were internationalists and they contributed to whatever culture they were part of and produced great things. Jews were known as kindly, talented people. Now, I think, Israel is contributing to anti-Semitism. So I think it was a big mistake. more link

Two Rockets ~vs~ 22 Days of Bombings

Or in other words, how Israel attempts to cover up genocide:

link UN 'expert' says Hamas only fired 2 rockets at Israel before Gaza war
The primary military analyst accompanying the Goldstone Commission into the conduct of both Israel and Hamas during last year's Gaza war claimed in a recent interview that prior to the Israeli incursion, Gaza-based (Resistance Fighters Against the Murdering Occuption Force) had only fired two rockets into southern Israel.

Speaking to the Middle East Monitor last week, Col. Desmond Travers from Ireland said, "It should be borne in mind that the number of rockets that had been fired into Israel in the month preceding their operations was something like two. The Hamas rockets had ceased being fired into Israel, and not only that, but Hamas sought a continuation of the cease-fire."

And on the subject of defending the indefensible this from Huffpo followed by the video:

one of the top marketing and "branding" professionals explains why Israel cannot (and does not) win the hasbara (propaganda) war with the Palestinians.

Dear God in Heaven, is the penny beginning to drop? Is the fat lady beginning to sing? Has Elvis left the building? 1. ISRAEL IS IRRELEVANT and 2. YOU CAN'T DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE

ISRAEL SUFFERING WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS

Like a heroin addict, Israel, unable to quench their need for murder, the ZOF crossed the border into Palestine and committed crimes against the citizens. Destroying land, farms, and shooting and killing civilians. And...........no world power gives a shit.

link In two separate attacks, Israeli tanks invaded on Monday areas close to the northern and southern Gaza Israeli borders.

The first invasion took place on Monday morning when tanks and bulldozers rolled into farm lands near Khan Younis town southern Gaza.

Witnesses said that tanks opened fire at resident homes while bulldozers damaged crops. No injuires were reported.

Later in the day another group of Israeli tanks and bulldozers invaded the Biet Hannon town in northern Gaza Strip.

Tanks fire shells at resident homes while bulldozers uprooted trees and damaged crops; witnesses reported damage but no injuries.

During a similar attack on Saturday Israeli shells killed three civilians at the town of Biet Hannon.

SSDD=Same Shit Different Day

IN ISRAEL"WOMEN, ERASED, BEATEN AND SENT BACK TO THE DAWN OF TIME"

Israel likes to portray itself as a Western Democracy. However on all accounts it fails miserably. You have an inherent lack of equality within the Zionist state, rampant racism, ethnic cleansing, sectarian and religious abuse, censorship and free speech abuses, civil rights abuses, religious fanaticism, a failure to adhere to international law, failure to recognize the Geneva convention or the Nuclear non-proliferation treaty or allow inspections of nuclear facilities. And I won’t even go into the years of war crimes. Even Israel’s reaction to the Goldstone report is un-democratic and totalitarian in nature. A blatant and willful despise and ignoring of any and all laws that could hold the Rogue state accountable to the world’s view of humanity and justice. But today let’s talk about the women in Israel, and during the examples set out below, please bear in mind that both Israel and the USA like to demean and criticize Muslim countries for their treatment of women, whilst all the while ignoring the disgusting backward policies and abuse of women in Israel. Israel is akin to the worst policies of the Taliban where women’s rights are concerned.

Today Seth Freedman writes in the Guardian:

With the gulf between the secular and religious camps in Israel continuing to widen, the issue of gender segregation on public transport has become the latest bone of contention. Activists from both sides are eagerly awaiting a ruling – due at the end of the month – from the minister for transport, whose decision will either bring an end to the forced separation of men and women on state-run buses or enshrine the partition in Israeli law.

ultra-Orthodox passengers have taken the law into their own hands on countless occasions on Egged routes used by both secular and religious Israelis. Regular reports surface of Haredi men using violence and intimidation to force reluctant women to move towards the back of the bus in order to comply with their religious rules – policies which the New Israel Fund has dubbed part of the "increasing Talibanisation of Israeli public life".

So women are sent to the back of the bus, this should sound familiar to Black Americans. But this is not the worst abuse or demeaning treatment of 21st century women in this "Wonderful Modern Western Democracy" called "Israel." They are beaten into towing the line by "modesty terrorist squads" More after this:

link Woman beat, threatened by 'modesty squad.' A Jerusalem woman who left ultra-Orthodox life after her divorce was gagged, beaten by group of self-proclaimed 'chastity guards'

A 31-year-old Jerusalem woman was cruelly beaten and threatened with death by members of the 'modesty squad' who took it upon themselves to interrogate her about her relationships with men. After seizing the woman, the men toppled her to the floor, kicked her repeatedly and then gagged her, warning she would be blinded with mace and stabbed if she dare open her eyes. She was then 'interrogated' by Buzaglo and his ilk, as they tried to force her to disclose the identities of men she had been in contact with. The group, which also hurled profanities at the woman throughout the ordeal, is also accused of threatening to kill the woman if she did not move from her apartment.

The men are also charged with the theft of two cell phones; it is believed the group took the phones with the intent of obtaining the phone numbers of men the woman was seeing. the modesty squad has declared a crusade against violations of Halachic law and what it views as 'unchaste' behavior. According to the indictment, the group has elected to employ intimidation and violence as the means to this end.

This women got off lucky, she was "only" beaten. A young teenager had acid thrown on her for simply wearing "pants" e.g. trousers. Yeah, Israel is a 21st century Democracy, mi arse:

link 'Modesty patrol' suspected of spilling acid on teenage girl A 14-year-old girl from Beitar Illite was taken to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem after an unknown person spilled acid on her face, legs and stomach

“the modesty guards have been threatening her for quite some time.” According to the paramedic the focus of the threats has largely been the victim's 18-year-old sister and some suspect the attacker mistook the younger girl's identity for that of her older sister's. According to Eini at the time of her attack the girl had been wearing loose-fitting long pants and a short-sleeved shirt.

Why do these "modesty Terrorist Gangs" operate? Here's why, the Rabbi's decree that Women must not wear pants, even in the dark, even when alone IN the dark. I say, shaking my head:

link Rabbi Aviner: One of Religious Zionism's most prominent leaders defines trousers as a 'self-prohibition,' says women 'must dress modestly also when alone and in the dark'

I guess that rules out wearing a pair of Pajamas then.....And to think, America supports these lunatics. Message to America: Keep sending them your hard earned tax Dollars, whilst you go jobless and homeless, so they can expand and commit more crimes in your name. Still there is more; Women elected to the Israeli Government are photoshopped out of the official cabinet photo, go ahead and click it to enlarge:

link Two women serve in Israel's new Cabinet, but some Israelis would rather not see them. The daily Yated Neeman digitally changed the photo, moving two male ministers into the places formerly occupied by the women. The weekly Shaa Tova simply blacked the women out, in a photo reprinted Friday by the mainstream daily Maariv.

Israel and America should not talk about the treatment of women in Iran, or by Hamas or the Taliban, not whilst supporting Israel, otherwise it's a case of "Pot-Kettle-Black" as usual...........I'll leave you with a VIDEO of a woman beaten by the "modesty Squad." Send more American Tax Dollars to this rogue lawless undemocratic state so you can continue to support war criminals and racist, sexist scum.

ISRAEL=TALIBAN
END OF..........

Israel Tells America To Eff-Off

Well, no surprises here. Just two days ago Chief Nazi Racist Murder Supporter Avigdor Lieberman said there can be "no peace with Palestine" and that Palestine should just learn to live the way things are. Meaning they will just have to get used to having all their land stolen and their people attacked, invaded and murdered every so many months by Israel.And today, poor George Mitchell, bless him, had a one hour meeting with the evil one Netanyahu, and was told pretty much the same thing. Now, all of these "Isra-hell" supporters who have been "claiming" Israel wants "peace" need to start apologising to the world for being stupid enough to buy the hasbara. The creatures who inhabit that little patch of desert they stole, don't' have any intention of ever making peace. Because the type of peace they speak of is the type of peace that they will create using weapons of mass destruction on an unarmed population when they murder every single Palestinian that won't live as an Israeli slave. And listen up America, you are funding this and supplying the weapons for mass destruction of civilians. This makes America an "enabler" and just as guilty as Israel. If you stand idly by and do nothing when a crime is being committed that makes you an accomplice.

US Middle East envoy George Mitchell has met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a second time on his latest trip aimed at restarting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

The former US senator met for an hour in Jerusalem with Mr Netanyahu.

He said Washington was pushing for an 'early relaunch' of negotiations and said the US administration was still deeply and fully committed to the vision of a 'viable, independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory'.

But hopes for a breakthrough are faint, with Israel saying Washington's vision of a comprehensive peace deal was unrealistic, and no compromise in site on the thorny issue of Jewish settlements in occupied West Bank. source

Israel is an Evil Rogue State, nothing more
