Mahatma Ghandi Peace the Only Alternative to Annihilation of Israel, Gaza, Palestine ?





Family Of 12 Murdered In Gaza: 


Rescue workers worked frantically to pick up the debris from "the massive crater where the residential building stood".

Five children were among the 12 members of the extended family that died in the attack.

With darkness quickly falling, a frantic search ... at top speed" has been conducted to see if anyone else is still alive under the rubble.



The deaths in the well-known extended family have left many in Gaza wondering if "anybody is safe ... people really are very worried about their own safety" as a result.

 The death toll since Wednesday to 66.
Update - Israel - 9:37 P.M. The death toll in the IDF attack on a house in the northern Gaza Strip rises to 12, including four children and five women, all of the same family.

World Health Organization warned on Saturday that Gaza’s hospitals “are overwhelmed with casualties from Israel’s bombings and face critical shortages of drugs and medical supplies,” according to the Reuters news agency (“Gaza hospitals stretched, need supplies to treat wounded: WHO”).
Reuters adds: “the WHO, quoting Health Ministry officials in Gaza, said 382 people have been injured - 245 adults and 137 children.” Gaza’s health facilities were already “severely over stretched mainly as a result of the siege of Gaza,” the UN organization said.
Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance groups fired more long-rage rockets towards Tel Aviv, and sirens were heard in Jerusalem for the first time. Gaza groups also fired short-range rockets, many of them intercepted by the Iron Dome system, according to Israeli media. Rockets were also reported to have been fired from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Three Israeli civilians were killed by a rocket fired from Gaza on Thursday.
Protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza erupted across the West Bank, where protesters clashed with Israeli soldiers. According to the Ma’an News Agency, five Palestinian citizens of Israel were detained at a protest in Jerusalem’s Beit Hanina neighborhood and ten persons were detained by Israel at protests in Gaza across the West Bank yesterday. Israeli forces also arrested protesters outside Jerusalem’s Old City on Friday.

Solidarity demonstrations continue to be held in dozens of cities worldwide (a continuously updated list can be found here).

" Israeli Society Reminds me of the Unionists in Northern Ireland "




“May your children die, you dogs”: As Gaza burns, Israelis bay for blood in streets of Tel Aviv
By Ali Abunimah


 

“They don’t deserve to live, they need to die”
“May your children die, you dogs”
“Now we want to go back there [to Gaza] and kick out all the Arabs.”
“The people demand more shooting”
“Muhammad is dead”
November 17, 2012 "Electronic Intifada"  - November 16, 2012 - These were some of the calls from a group of Israelis demonstrating in favor of Israel’s attack on Gaza in the streets of Tel Aviv last night.
Peaceful protests by Palestinian students at Israeli universities were met with similar incitement.
In Tel Aviv, across the road, another group of Israelis protested against the assault. “We came here to say that we must end this war immediately,” Knesset member Dov Khenin of the communist Hadash party told the anti-war crowd, “every additional drop of blood is needless.”
The duelling demonstrations were filmed by David Sheen. While anti-war voices exist, there’s little doubt that much of the Israeli Jewish population stands behind Israel’s attack on Gaza, believing the government propaganda that Palestinians are firing rockets at Israel unprovoked while Israel seeks peace and quiet.
Among the pro-violence demonstrators was Baruch Marzel a notorious settler fanatic who frequently incites violence. “The enemy must be expelled and destroyed,” Marzel said, specifiying that Palestinians should be kicked out of Gaza so Israelis could re-settle there.
“You’re cross-dressers! You’re the Gay Pride March, that’s what you are,” shouted another war supporter at the peace demo, a call that was echoed by others.
One man warned fellow protestors, “They’re filming us, don’t curse” but that did not stop the violent calls. “Go to Gaza with the Muslims, you sons of bitches,” said one. “The people demand more shooting,” responding to calls for a ceasefire from the pro-violence demonstration across the road.
The calls for blood and violence in the streets echo incitement by Israeli government leaders. In recent days Israel’s “minister of home front defense” Avi Dichter called for Israel to “reformat” Gaza – wipe it clean – like a computer hard drive, except using bombs.
Israeli transport minister Israel Katz called for Israel to bomb Gaza so hard that the population would flee into Egypt, and for Israel to cut off water and electricity supplies.

“Death to the Arabs”: Incitement at Israeli universities

Hundreds of Palestinian citizens of Israel, students at several universities, turned out to protest the Israeli attack on Gaza, despite a heavy police presence on and around campus, reported Arabs 48, a website providing news on Palestinians in Israel.
At Tel Aviv University, some 150 Palestinian students gathered despite a heavy security presence, Arabs 48 reported, and there right-wing students from the Zionist group Im Tirzu confronted them shouting racist slogans including “Death to the Arabs.”
Similar scenes took place at Hebrew University, where right-wing students were held back by security forces from attacking Palestinians calling for an end to the violence.

“the most terrible thing I’ve seen in my life”

At Haifa University, Palestinian students held a moment of silence for victims of the Israeli attacks in Gaza, and were quickly confronted by Israeli Jewish students, according to Arabs 48.
“What happened today at the Haifa University was the most terrible thing I’ve seen in my life,” tweeted Israeli Twitter user @kesterica who witnessed what happened at Haifa, “Arab students were silently protesting against the war. They invited the Jews to join them.”
“In response,” @kesterica tweeted, “dozens of Jewish students attacked the Arabs, called them traitors, spread rumors that they were mourning [Jabari], sang [the anthem religious songs encouraging war].”
On Wednesday morning, Israel carried out the extrajudicial execution of Ahmad al-Jabari, the top Hamas military leader in Gaza, breaking a truce, and reigniting violence that left 19 Palestinians, including at least 6 children and a pregnant woman, and three Israelis dead since Wednesday, by Friday morning.
“The Jews sang: ‘he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead.’ I don’t tend to cry fascism, fascism, but that’s what it was,” @kestericatweeted.
“An Arab girl who stood there told me that she was asked why she was standing there, and she said she was against war and against casualties [deaths] and invited people to join her. It didn’t happen,” added @kesterica.
“I cannot say what each of the protesters thought, but she and quite a few of the folks standing there said they were just against war. To tell you the truth, me too,” she tweeted.
Palestinian students sang the Palestinian anthem “Mawtini” in response to the taunts, as the video above shows.
Violent and racist sentiments have also been widespread among Israelis on Facebook and other social media.
During Israel’s 2008-2009 attack on Gaza, journalist Patrick Cockburn observed:
Israeli society was always introverted but these days it reminds me more than ever of the Unionists in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s or the Lebanese Christians in the 1970s. Like Israel, both were communities with a highly developed siege mentality which led them always to see themselves as victims even when they were killing other people. There were no regrets or even knowledge of what they inflicted on others and therefore any retaliation by the other side appeared as unprovoked aggression inspired by unreasoning hate.
Much the same appears to be true today.

KOSHER and HALAL WAR CRIMINALS ?

Perpetrators, collaborators, bystanders, victims; we can be clear about 3 of these categories. The bystander, however, is the ENABLER !

If there are enough DISSIDENTS OF CONSCIENCE , then protest will reach a critical mass.

We don’t normally think of WAR CRIMES as being shaped by silence, but as Edmund Burke said,


The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil][LIVE  Backwards], is for good men(women) to do nothing.’








What the BBC or international corporate media doesn't want you to know or see !



UN REPORT OF ISRAEL ACCUSED OF WAR CRIMES ! Click Here !







Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Ireland was and still is Britain's first colony. They proceeded to create and sow the same divisions as they practiced in Ireland, in successive countries all over the world, on religious and racial grounds,etc., so that their small country, could rule in the midst of their state sponsored violence,chaos and confusion. They have proceeded to teach Americans how to do the same in their former ex-colonies, where they left behind compliant administrations of neo-colonialists after the American dominance of the Suez crisis.

The British used what they learned in Ireland, to rule, torture and divide the middle-east, creating the UK/US axis and enable Zionism, which is another form of Facism, as their proxy for wars of armnaments and oil profits principally in the Middle-east. The innocent victims of all of this are now approximately the same as the victime of the holocaust by Hitler in Europe.

Their corporate media and the BBC bombard every home worldwide daily, with brainfilthing propaganda and censorship, to have you believe that their WAR CRIMES are Kosher, that their state terrorism and Nazi style genocide, are your form of 'security" and justification against the violence they themselves created.

The UK/US media peyops on their own populations, include calling their own WAR CRIMINALS, "securiiy forces" in Ireland and "IDF" "Israeli Defence Forces" in occupied Palestine. Their "Reichsministers of Propaganda", would have the whole world believe that their WAR CRIMES are Kosher or Halal, while freedom fighters who fight with their naked bodies are labelled terrorists.

Any sane person who is aware of the TRUTH, wants this to stop, these eternal wars are truly INSANE and EVIL(LIVE spelled backwards). Peace will only be possible with justice and freedom from oppression and occupation. There are many brave Jewish and English people who have worked tirelessly and bravely against great odds to stop all of this. They deserve the support of all HUMANITY.

Please support the Palestinian and Irish people.

DO NOT BUY INTO THE DAILY CORPORATE MEDIA LIES, INVESTIGATE THE TRUTH, DECIDE FOR YOURSELF and then please PEACEFULLY BOYCOTT THE REAL TERRORISTS, WAR CRIMINALS AND THEIR ENABLERS.

Go Raibh Maith agait.

American Zionism Irish perspective



Trying to Untangle the Corporate Media's Lies.


In Ireland we understand what the word (Shoah) Holocaust, (The Great Hunger) means. Believe me, we understand, its in our blood and our genes. Between 1845 - 1847 our population, was reduced from 9 million to 3 million by ethnic cleansing, by systematic, calculated, heartless, engineered famine. The revisionist historians have tried to re-write our history but this is fact. Our country too, lost 6 million people. It is so difficult, to forgive this, I am in tears about this but we must forgive and move on, for the future and for our children's sake.


As an Irish person, who is outraged by the systematic ethnic cleansing, being carried out currently in Gaza Concentration Camp, I have found the above, my most informative source, thus far, in trying to understand Israel and these war crimes. My only reservation, is the author's analysis of Leon Trotsky.


At this point, the only further addition I would make, is that we are in danger of allowing cerebral masturbation, to become a substitute for genuine human compassion and action, for the victims of the victims of genocidal war crimes. Currently monstrous war crimes are being committed by the US and Israel.



I personally believe our first action, must be a well organized, International Boycott of all countries currently guilty of war crimes. A simple majority of nations voting at the UN, should decide this matter immediately. In the meantime, I am currently boycotting all American and Israeli goods and services. I urge all intelligent people of goodwill, worldwide, including compassionate Americans and Jews to do the same.



I need help with organizing this, in an effective peaceful international way. We also need to find effective united ways, to deal with the considerable dis-information in the media, from very powerful agencies. This campaign to be effective and not fall foul, to black propaganda, must dis-associate itself entirely, from all violence, justified or not, to be effective.


Believe me, the propaganda and lies will come, so please, keep it peaceful, keep it

simple and stay united.


To stay United, I repeat, we must keep it simple, division and those who promote it,

is a friend of the enemy.



United we stand, Divided we fall.


BOYCOTT THE USA AND ISRAEL NOW !





We have powerful enemies and if you do not hear further from me, wherever you are, please continue this campaign, it will ultimately be successful. The word boycott originates in Ireland's struggle with British imperialism. If we stay united and persistent, it is the most effective weapon we have, internationally, to bring this perpetual violence to and end with justice. They will try to divide us, with propaganda, Above all else, keep it simple and stay United !.


We want Peace with Justice !


BOYCOTT THE USA AND ISRAEL NOW !

"You are either With us or Against Us"



Israel keeps setting pre-conditions, as a pretext, to enter negotiations to talk about a peace. It is a mechanism which has been used to appear reasonable to world opinion and as a delaying tactic for decades now, since long before the Oslo Peace Accord, does anyone remember that ?. About two years ago Israel stated, that Fatah were not an elected party, to negotiate with, and demanded elections, as a pretext to delay further peace negotiations. The Americans as is usual in this matter, did what the Israeli lobby in Washington ordered and demanded, there be elections in Gaza and the West Bank.

Palestinians in good faith, doing what was possible, for the sake of peace, went ahead with elections. Lo ! and behold !, to the shock and horror of both the Americans and Israeli's, Hamas was elected the Government of Palestine, by the people in a free and fair election. The goal posts were moved again. Israel said it would not negotiate with Hamas and demanded that the the US designate them as a terrorist organization. The US, the supposed beacon of democracy, would not accept the election result and bowed to the stranglehold of the Zionist lobby in Washington and a compliant, subservient pimp press, once again and promptly follow Israeli bidding.

This ridiculous deadly game of pre-conditions, has been played out now, for more than forty years with the slaughter of innocents.The international corporate media, which is meant to be an integral part of democracy, are an essential tool in this process of criminalizing all dissent in the middle-east. Zionist Israel is disingenuous, fact. Zionist Israel has no interest in peace, quite the reverse actually, because every year that goes by without settlement, they are land grabbing and illegally building more settlements on the west bank. To be fair there is a minority of Jewish people who are sick of the killing and want peace. In Ireland we call people such as the Zionists, Land grabbers and they have currently left the Palestinian people, with less than 14% of their original lands, this is robbery with murder, its as simple as that, no excuses.

Anyone who is remotely familiar with the middle-east, knows these facts. These are the basic facts, at the root of all the wars against Islam for the last forty years, which incidentally included, what they term a terrorist war, used by Gold Meir to originally found the state of Israel, supported and funded by Britain. This is the fuel that feeds the Al Queda fire, this is one of the main reasons why they attacked the World trade centre in New York. War is big business and ordinary citizens of the US or Ireland are not meant to know this, hence press censorship. Hence the one sided pro-Israeli propaganda, in the corporate western media. There has been a war in the middle east, in one form or another, for more than fifty years now and the first victim of war is the truth.

Everyone knows what the solution is and its very, very simple, its not rocket science. All of these talks, about talks, is just a smokescreen from the truth. Every dog on the street knows that the solution is simply, that Israel return to pre-1967 borders, it is as simple as that. Palestine will have to make a sacrifice and go a step further than what Mahatma Gandhi suggested and recognize the state of Israel.

MAHATMA GHANDI

"Palestine
belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the
English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the
Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be
justified by any code of conduct. The Mandates have no sanction but
that of the last War. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to
reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews
partly or wholly as their national home. I am not defending the Arab
excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting
what they rightly regarded as an unwarranted encroachment upon their
country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong,
nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of
overwhelming odds."


Perhaps one of the most appropriate for remembering this great soul of Ghandi, is the tribute from one of Israel's most intelligent sons, Albert Einstein; "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood." It is however certain that these generations to come will have lessons to learn from the extraordinary life of Mohandas Gandhi"


The US is using this dispute since the Suez crisis, as an excuse to make war after war in the region to get cheap oil out of the Middle east. They ousted the British Imperialists, the previous robbers of people's natural heritage in the region, after the Suez saga. They do give them a little of the spoils of war in return, cheap oil contracts. They have just murdered "1,173,743" children, women and men in Iraq, and murdered 3,974 of their own sons as Cindy Sheehan will verify, since their illegal invasion. This includes the use of chemical weapons, torture, instigating tribal fratercide, spilling millions of gallons of human blood, in the faint hope of millions of gallons of cheap oil, in the future. All they have accomplished, is the installation of a pro-Iran government in Baghdad, how clever.

The plain people of Ireland, which was Britain's first colony, have plenty of experience of these underhand murderous barbarian tactics. We are quite familiar with the lies and propaganda of these liars and murderous Imperialists. Gaza right now has been turned into a Concentration Camp by Israel. Last week saw the executions of more than 120 prisoners, in this open air prison, including the murder of more than 20 children and babies by Israel. Presently Israel i slowly strangling Gaza and Palestinians depriving them of food, medicine and electricity. The most vulnerable, children elderly, sick are dying from this slow cold, heartless, genocide being committed by Israel.

Anyone who speaks about this or speaks the truth is branded a terrorist or an extremist. I am nether, I am simply an Irish citizen who is disgusted and made physically sick witnessing the daily Genocide at Gaza Concentration Camp, by Israel using American Jet fighters and weapons, paid for by you, the American taxpayer, to the tune of 3 trillion, tax dollars. To add insult to injury, they murder and slaughter babies and children in the name of religion and keep using the holocaust of the last century, as justification for another chosen race, to ethnically cleanse the middle-east of Arabs.

Its time the world stood up these bullies and said enough is enough. Israel and the US should be immediately expelled from the UN. There is more than enough evidence that both the US and Israel are war criminals. Any world citizen with a modicum of political savvy know this to be fact, we have witnessed it daily on our TV screens now for more than fifty years now, are you sick of it ?. The US and the Israeli response to articles like this, is to either use Mossad and secret agencies worldwide, to silence the messenger, or journalist, or torture them in secret locations, as designated terrorists, in secret torture camps, worldwide.

The truth will set us free but first, we must let the truth be free. Stop the Censorship. Contact your elected representative wherever you may be and demand that they immediately call for the expulsion, of both the US and Israel from the UN as branded war criminals. Do not settle for the common political cheap superficial platitudes of careerist politicians and nudge, nudge, wink, wink, complaints. Demand action now !. There can be no more excuses for barbarism and state terrorism. You are either with us or against us, make up your mind. We are either a civilized world or we too are barbarians. Its time for action, contact your elected representative immediately, NOW by telephone or email and stop this bloodshed.

Evil will prevail, while good citizens do nothing, as happened in Fascist pre-war Europe. Good citizens of Israel, we also need your help, we are aware you are there.
Silence on this matter is no longer ethical, this is Genocide !. Silence is tacit approval of War Crimes.

The Slaughter of Innocence

Yesterday, Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister threatened a "shoah", theHebrew word for Holocaust - the word for the Nazi Holocaust, on the prisoners of Gaza Concentration Camp. This comes amid the execution, in the last three days of eleven children, including a 6 month old baby, along with more than 50 prisoners of the Concentration Camp.


Friday
5 children murdered in overnight raids
Thursday
Six children slaugtered
Wednesday:
Six-month-old baby

The following is and account of how the Israeli Genocide, exterminated a six month old baby.This article was originally published by Ramattan News Agency and is republished with the author's permission.



The innocent laughter of six-month-old baby Mohammed al-Bor'i stopped forever on Wednesday night when shrapnel from an Israeli missile and rubble struck the infant in the head, minutes after he enjoyed his last meal.

"The baby sucked milk, he was playing with his mother; I was reading a book when a rocket hit the Ministry of Interior," said Nasser al-Bor'i, the baby's father.

With the first missile, the electricity was cut and darkness filled the ill-fated house. Stones and pieces of the asbestos ceiling fell onto the head of the laughing child. The explosions continued as two other missiles hit the building.

"I looked for my baby in the darkness between the rubble; I did not know where he was. When he cried once I followed the direction of his voice," Nasser al-Bor'i said. "My hands touched my baby who was breathing hard; I felt warm liquid on my two hands and realized that he was wounded."

Al-Bor'i carried his son to the nearby Shifa Hospital as the blood streamed from his tiny head. In the hospital, al-Bor'i became hysterical when he realized that his only child had been killed.

Tears poured from al-Bor'i's eyes when he saw Mohammed's shoes. "After five years of treatment for sterility, [my wife and] I had a baby. I can't imagine that I lost him in a second."

Toys, a plastic bike, a crib and clothes were covered by the heap of rubble inside Mohammed's bedroom. Cutout magazine pictures of laughing babies decorated the walls, a sad reminder of the joy lost in the strike.

Mohammed's mother sufered shock and fell unconscious when she realized that the child had died. She laid on a hospital bed while her baby was in the morgue. On Thursday morning she cried when she returned home from the hospital to see Mohammed's empty crib.

Mohammed al-Bor'i was not the only child to be killed in the series of Israeli air strikes across the Gaza strip on Wednesday. In the northern Gaza Strip town of Jabalia, three other children, Anas al-Manama, 10, Bilal Hijazi, 11, and Mohammed Hamada, 11, were also killed in an Israeli air strike, Palestinian medical sources reported.

At least 19 Palestinian civilians and militants were killed and dozens wounded by the continuing Israeli air strikes on Gaza in the last two days.

Sami Abu Salem lives in Jabalia Refugee Camp and works as an English news and features writer at the Palestine News Agency (WAFA). He has also worked at the International Press Center of the Palestinian Authority State Information Service, and works as a freelance writer for local newspapers, focusing on literature and arts.

Israeli Minister threatens Holocaust for Gaza

Matan Vilnai, Israel's deputy defence minister has threatened a "shoah", the Hebrew word for Holocaust - the word for the Nazi Holocaust, on the prisoners of Gaza Concentration Camp. This comes after the execution, in the last two days of six children, including a 6 month old baby, along with more than 30 prisoners of the Concentration Camp.

There has been more than 200 murders by Israel, in the last 3 months of the prisoners. The prisoners are often executed, using American F16 fighter aircraft and laser guided missiles, paid for by American taxpayers. Some estimates put the amount, at more than 3 trillion dollars, spent by American taxpayers, for the ethnic cleansing purposes in the middle-east, in the last few years. There has been 1,173,743 killings in Iraq alone, since the American invasion of the region.

Most reports of this are censored by the corporate media in the US and this reporter's factual accounts, are consistently flagged by a right wing American agenda, within Now Public. Palestinians have killed a 47 year old Israeli in the same 3 month period. This is the only incident condemned by the US, who are meant to be an honest broker in the matter.


Some of Mr Vilnai's colleagues within the Defence Ministry of Israel, have quickly distanced themselves from his comments and also tried to downplay, them saying he did not actually mean genocide or holocaust. One humane Israeli, has produced a video (see below) denouncing his Governments actions as War Crimes.

Hamas the Islamist movement, which seized control of Gaza in June, after being elected the Government of the Concentration Camp, has said it will call a cease fire of the homemade missiles, if Israel stops its military operations including war crimes, in the Concentration Camp and ends the collective punishment or blockade against ordinary people. The Israeli army's blockade, has cut essential supplies to its 1.5m prisoners, who are starving and dying without proper medical treatment. Many children are also dying in the local hospital because of eliectricity and food shortages.

Under International law and the Geneva convention, the execution and torture of prisoners is expressly forbidden and regarded as war crimes. During the second world war, there were 11 million people executed during the Holocaust, almost half of them Jewish, in concentration camps and from the Warsaw ghettos, in a precisely similar manner. Reports were also censored by the Nazi authorities of these activities, with the resulting compliance of a passive population.

The Slaughter of Anti-Semitic Babies

After two days of murders, of more than 30 prisoners of Gaza Concentration Camp and the killing of five young children, including a six month old baby by Laser guided missiles, fired from aircraft, subsidized by the American taxapayers, some humane Jews, are now starting to question their Governments policies, of targeting Anti-Semitic babies. The prisoners of Gaza Concentration Camp killed a 47 year old man recently, in retaliation for the murder of more than 200 of its prisoners in Gaza in the last three months.

Meanwhile in the US media hardly a day passes without the press documenting, the re-emergence of anti-Semitism in Europe. France and Britain are singled out as the worst offenders. Israel's daily newspaper Haaretz has included reports on the "New Anti-Semitism" on its website.

Commentators have stated that Israel's preoccupation with anti-Semitism, does not separate, the minor criticism in Europe towards Israel's savage military assault on the Palestinians prisoners in Gaza Concentration Camp, from the other Muslim youth street protests, angry at what they see, as the three billion dollar subsidy, by the US taxpayers, for the purpose of ethnic cleansing of Arabs, in the Middle -east.

The blurring of legitimate criticism, of daily Israeli war crimes and actions, with the other, illegitimate retaliation against Israel by the elected representatives of Hamas, serves a useful purpose for Israel. It has become difficult, almost impossible, to criticize, the daily suffering of millions of starved Palestinians prisoners, under occupation in Gaza Concentration Camp, without invoking the label "anti-Semite" from the organized Zionist lobby in the United States, who control all American presidents and indeed politics in Washington itself.


Endless speculation about the ugly return of anti-Semitism, is a powerful censorship tool, which includes the assassination of journalists, as a warning, to the assumption, that Jews, now inhabit a safe environment in the West, to be mistaken. Europe in particular, they insist, has barely moved on, from the days of late nineteenth-century France, when the army all too readily convicted an officer of treason, because he was Jewish.

Among Israelis it goes unquestioned that Jewish immigration, known as "aliyah"" is still supremely important if Israel is to remain a viable ethnic Jewish state and dominate all of Palestine.

The US policy is that the Palestinians who oppose this are terrorists and must be liquidated, are now fearful of Palestinians trying to swamp Palestine, with Arab babies in a war now termed by Israel, as the "battle of wombs". Hence the new phenomena of targeting Anti-semitic babies.

So prevalent is this view in Israel and Washington, that a former air force commander, Eitan Ben Eliahu, went unchallenged in a national television debate, when he stated: "We have to step up immigration immediately and in some way also thin out the number of Arabs here." He was restating arguments expressed with disturbing regularity in the Israeli government, particulalry from within the former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Likud Party.

The government of Israel has re-established the Demography Council, disbanded several years ago after complaints it was a racist institution, to find ways to promote increased fertility among Jewish women and to oversee elimination of Palestinian babies. Israel, however, will be hard-pushed to win the numbers battle, the birth rate among the country's large Arab minority is several times that of the Jewish majority. Hence the tactic of using the laser guided missiles, bought for them by US taxpayers, to target these anti-semitic babies in Gaza is required.

Former Prime minister, Sharon conceded this point early in his premiership, when he ordered one million Jews in Russia, to return to Israel, under the Law of Return. The problem is that many Jewish communities outside Israel, who dominate the media, banking, music, movie businesses, are so well organized and successful, that they are comfortably integrated and dominate their host countries. It is unlikely to be another exodus like the one from the Russia, in the early ' 90s.

There is a minority of intelligent humane Jews, who oppose this ethnic cleansing and below is a video created by one of them, unfortunately the situation in Gaza, bears an uncanny resemblance to the Concentration Camps of the holocaust which were allowed to happen by a compliant audience. Using American F16's, using laser guided missiles on a defenceless population and targeting young children and babies, is simply inexcusable and systematic state terrorism.
