It's All About OUR Stuff NOT Yours!

As if we didn't already know why Israel just tried to STEAL two Holy sites that belong to other people in another country, claiming that Israel could take "better" care of the sites. And according to the report below Israel has plans to "take care of them"...............literally

link US report accuses Israel of neglecting mosques, churches

Annual State Department human rights survey blames Israel of protecting Jewish holy sites only, leaving Christian, Muslim houses of worship under threat;(SURPRISE!!)

The report notes that the 1967 Protection of Holy Sites Law is implemented on 137 Jewish sites only, leaving Christian and Muslim sites " neglected, inaccessible, or threatened by property development."

"The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and other well-known sites have de facto protection as a result of their international importance; however, community mosques, churches, and shrines faced threats from developers and municipalities that Jewish sites did not face," the report stated.

The survey further noted that "Christian pilgrimage sites around the Sea of Galilee faced regular threats of encroachment from government planners who wanted to use parts of the properties for recreational areas."

See? told you it's always all about "Their Stuff" everyone else can just P-off..........that includes Christians and Muslms alike.

DECPETION THE NAME OF THE GAME

Just finished reading this brilliant article by Alan Hart which is a "must read" and should be included in the Anti-Zionist worldwide database for dealing with Israel.

Deception Has Always Been The Name Of Zionism’s Game
Written by Alan Hart

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu described his offer to temporarily restrict construction of all-new Jewish settlements on the West Bank excluding Arab East Jerusalem as a “far-reaching and painful step", which was part of a policy he hoped would give a new impetus to peace talks.

Netanyahu is not stupid. He knows that some of us know he is not remotely interested in peace on terms the Palestinians could accept. So what then is his real game plan of the moment? Simple. He is seeking to make peace with the Obama administration. And its response suggests that with the help of the Zionist lobby and its stooges in Congress he’s got that matter firmly under control.

On 18 November President Obama himself expressed his dismay at Israel’s decision to approve 900 more housing units in East Jerusalem. He said it could lead to a “dangerous situation” because it made it harder for Israel to make peace in the region and “embitters the Palestinians.”

Eight days later the Obama administration says Netanyahu’s new offer, which stresses that there will be no restrictions, not even temporary ones, on new settlement development in East Jerusalem, will help "move forward" peace efforts.

What nonsense. It seems to me that the Obama administration doesn’t know whether it’s coming or going on the matter of how to deal with Netanyahu.

The response of senior Palestinian legislator Mustafa Barghouti was much more in tune with reality. “What Netanyahu announced today is one of his biggest attempts at deception in his history.”

It is, of course, a deception but nobody should be surprised. Not only has deception always been the name of Zionism’s game, it knows no other.

Its very first mission statement way back in 1897 was a deception. The previous year Zionism’s founding father, Theodore Herzl, had written and published Der Judenstaat, The Jewish State. It opened with these words: “The Jews who will it shall have a state of their own.” But as all of Zionism’s founding fathers gathered for their first Congress at Basel in Switzerland, Herzl was among the first to appreciate the need to drop the word state from all public policy pronouncements.

Thus it was that the first Congress of the World Zionist Organisation ended with a public statement that declared Zionism’s mission to be the striving “to create for the Jewish people a home in Palestine secured by public law.”

The difference between “home” and “state” was great.

State would have signalled that what Zionism wanted (and was ruthlessly determined to get) was a sovereign entity, by definition one with full state powers backed by its own military. In other words, a sovereign, fully independent Jewish state would be one that could pose a threat to the rights and possibly even the existence of the Arabs of Palestine. At the time Zionism didn’t want the world, including most Jews of the world, to know that.

Home was a much softer, less disturbing term. It implied, and for propaganda purposes could be asserted to mean, that Zionism would be prepared to settle for an entity without sovereign powers and which therefore would not and could pose any kind of threat to the Arabs.

The proof that Zionism’s founding father knew the substitution of “home” for “state” in the first mission statement was a deception is in his diary, which was not published (was kept secret) for 63 years. Herzl’s entry for 3 September 1897, as published in 1960, included this:

Were I to sum up the Basel Congress in a word - which I shall guard against pronouncing publicly - it would be this: At Basel I founded the Jewish state... Perhaps in five years, and certainly 50, everyone will know it... At Basel then, I created this abstraction which, as such, is invisible to the vast majority of people.

It wasn’t only the Arabs and the major powers Zionism didn’t want to scare by using the term state. All of its founding fathers were fully aware that most informed and thoughtful Jews everywhere were opposed to the idea of creating a sovereign Jewish state in the Arab heartland. They believed it to be morally wrong. They feared it would lead to unending conflict. And most of all they feared that if Zionism was allowed by the major powers to have its way, it would one day provoke anti-Semitism.

As it happened, that Jewish concern and those Jewish fears were washed away by the obscenity of the Nazi holocaust, without which Zionism almost certainly would not have triumphed.

After its unilateral declaration of independence, the Zionist (not Jewish) state’s policy was to advance by creating facts on the ground. In effect its message to the world was, as it still is: “We know we should not have done this, but we’ve done it. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Israel Gives Treehouses To Obama

Well, what can one say to this? The Israelis have tossed a little breadcrumb to Obama. They have evacuated an illegal settlement, yes, cleared it from its settler cockroach infestation. Now, Now, gentle readers, I know what you're thinking, but don't go getting all misty eyed at the thought of Israel suddenly discovering it really wants peace. Nope, this "settlement" is in fact, a wee tiny group of "huts" inhabited by teenage Zionist cockroaches from the much "larger" settlement of Kokhav HaShahar. So, what we really have here is not the evacuation of a genuine settlement, let's say a settlement that may actually cost the Israelis either money, or political problems. Nope, what we have here is 7 wee tiny huts. Think of them as Zionist Cockroach Teenagers tree houses, just minus the trees and the houses. That is what Israel has given Obama, a big tree house crumb, minus the trees. Story below:

Bethlehem - In what appears to be a gesture to US President Barack Obama Israeli forces evacuated a seven-hut settlement north-east of Ramallah Thursday morning.

The tiny outpost was established in 2005 by residents of the nearby Kokhav HaShahar, and lately inhabited by youth from the settlement. Israeli police reported no violent reaction to the evacuation, the first forcible removal of Israeli settlers since the Ar-Rajabi house incident on 4 December.

The removal followed a Wednesday meeting between Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and West Bank settler leaders where sides agreed that illegal outposts would be evacuated.

The settlers responsible for the outpost were quoted in the Israeli pres as saying, "The expulsion that is being carried out now is the first phase in Barak's policy to establish a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital that will later turn into a Hamas state."

The move elicited dozens of angry reactions from settler and right-wing groups.

During the news conference following the Washington meeting between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu the US leader said “Settlements have to be stopped in order for us to move forward.” source
