Jew Terrorists Just Never Stop

[UPDATE :: "a chunk of rotting corpse from a stagnant sewer" - Israel's new non-lethal weapon. This is what gets puked on you when you go to two local blogs, Eric Kirk's, "Love it or Leave it" blog and the Tuluwat ROT blog. The stench of that evil is like a tattoo on your soul that just doesn't go away.]

Israel army drop leaflets inciting against Palestinian resistance in Gaza


The Israeli leaflets threatened residents
and their properties and incited them against the
Palestinian resistance and the Hamas leadership in particular.
The Israeli army on Saturday dropped new leaflets on different residential areas in the Gaza Strip, threatening the Palestinian residents that it will target their homes and farms under the pretext that they allow the Palestinian resistance to use them to launch rockets on Israel.

What the Jews, most of them, don't understand is that what they did and continue to do to the Palestinian people they do to themselves. By their actions, as a nation and as a people, they judged and condemned themselves illegitimate - legally they forfeited their right to exist. Nothing the United States or all the Jew worshippers in the World can do will change that reality. In fact, they share in the Jew's indictment.

Welcome to America's Gaza

[UPDATE II :: No First Amendment Rights for "war combatants"]

What happened to the Palestinian people in the so-called occupied territories, primarily in Gaza is exactly what is happening in America and for basically the very same reasons. First lets demonstrate the complete disconnect in reality when dealing with two similar peoples. Barack Obama says, when discussing the beheading death of James Foley Wednesday, August 20, 2014 by the Islamic State:
"They declared their ambition to commit genocide against an ancient people. So ISIL speaks for no religion. Their victims are overwhelmingly Muslim, and no faith teaches people to massacre innocents. No just god would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day. ISIL has no ideology of any value to human beings. Their ideology is bankrupt. They may claim out of expediency that they are at war with the United States or the West, but the fact is they terrorize their neighbors and offer them nothing but an endless slavery to their empty vision and the collapse of any definition of civilized behavior." 
Now look at a similar people, as Obama characterizes, driven by nihilistic ideologies.  They conduct themselves in the same barbaric hateful terroristic ways, just change a couple of his words:

(Nihilism: 1. total rejection of established laws and institutions. 2. anarchy, terrorism, or other revolutionary activity. 3. total and absolute destructiveness, especially toward the world at large and including oneself.)
Let’s be clear about Israel (ISIL). They have rampaged across cities and villages killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence. They abduct women and children and subject them to torture and rape and slavery. They have murdered Palestinian Muslims, both Sunni and Shia), by the thousands. They target Christians and religious minorities, driving them from their homes, murdering them when they can, for no other reason than they practice a different religion."
The only real difference in the beheading of innocent people between ISIL and Israel is that Israel doesn't behead with a knife. They are far more sophisticated and efficient - their barbarism is an art form. While the literal slaughter of the Palestinian people by Israel is about as depraved and abhorrent as it can get, it is the literal destruction of a whole generation of Palestinian Gazans that is the reality. To see exactly how just read the interview on Democracy Now with Pernille Ironside, chief of UNICEF’s Gaza field office.
Pernille Ironside: "Today, the future of Palestinian children in Gaza is extraordinarily bleak. The entire population has experienced a deep form of trauma, and there isn’t a single family in Gaza who hasn’t experienced personally death, injury, the loss of their home, extensive damage, displacement. The psychological toll that has on a people, it just cannot be overestimated, and especially on children. I’ve met children who have experienced extraordinary wounds, who have watched as family members were dismembered before their eyes, obliterated. You know, shortly after that terrible incident on the beach." *** "Across from the al-Deira Hotel and where four children were killed. And I met with the surviving three boys, who had watched and who had just barely escaped with their lives. They were in a deep state of trauma. I mean, the impact and the type of weaponry that’s being used is literally shredding and obliterating people, and particularly children, who are so small and vulnerable." [Emphasis mine]
Barack Obama managed to speak some words of truth when he said what needs to be done to resolve the "cancer" threatening all humanity:
From governments and peoples across the Middle East, there has to be a common effort to extract this cancer so that it does not spread. There has to be a clear rejection of this kind of nihilistic ideologies. One thing we can all agree on is that a group like Israel (ISIL) has no place in the 21st century. Friends and allies around the world, we share a common security and a common set of values that are rooted in the opposite of what we saw yesterday (and today). And we will continue to confront this hateful terrorism and replace it with a sense of hope and civility.

It starts here, with people like these bigoted, racist thugs. Here is just one example, Eric Kirk in his own words on his own blog, read the comments, full of nothing more than rote propaganda and moronic stupidity, hate and violence:
August 20, 2014 at 10:10 am 
Eric Kirk
Its one more example that your superficial encounters with American Jewish people are worse than useless as a basis to characterize Israeli society. To my mind, your lumping together Jews of different nationality as to their social and cultural practices, is a form of antisemitism. Though I believe in your case it comes not from maliciousness but from arrogance and intellectual laziness. 
First of all, I do not endeavor to “characterize” Israeli society. Israel is among the most racially diverse countries in the world. 
Secondly, my “superficial encounters” are family based and close friend based, as well as having been immersed in socialist left wing politics all of my life which is very heavily Jewish influenced – from my grandmother who was a communist and Abraham Lincoln Brigade veteran to a woman in college who is also hardcore leftist and staunch zionist to attending a high school in SF which was two-thirds Jewish in which debates about Israel raged and I was smart enough to watch from a distance. 
I don’t “characterize” Israel as anything except that culturally it has forged a nationalism which is probably stronger than any other partly in the aftermath of the Holocaust and history of European pogroms, but also because even the peace activists there do not feel safe. The woman I knew was in Israel and heard the booms of the rockets as they landed in the distance, only to have her work take her to France where she had to hide from a massive anti-Semitic near-riot. 
Yes, they are a very diverse people. But they are brought together by the fact that they are broadly hated in the west as “Zionists,” “Christ killers,” and in recent decades “infidels.” In the past week, Jews and their supporters planning to demonstrate were silenced in social democratically tolerant Sweden due to threats of violence. And the Palestinian Authority, the “moderates,” approve of school curriculum materials based upon false assertions about Judaism originating with Stormfront, a Nazi website. This along with a history of Palestinian resistance sending teenage girls strapped with bombs into dance halls to kill herself and other children – and where a friend of mine inadvertently leaves a backpack on a bus leading to a bomb scare. 
I will read the article, but from the intensity of my in-law Jewish family on the subject, including my wife’s communist grandmother, and so many old friends and people I’ve worked with for so many years – many of whom oppose Israeli policies – all of them read the Hamas charter with visceral terror. All of them. [Emphasis mine]
Noam Chomsky's speaks about this:
So, for example, the electoral program of Israel’s governing party, Likud, states explicitly that there can never be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. And they not only state it in their charter, that’s a call for the destruction of Palestine, explicit call for it. And they don’t only have it in their charter, you know, their electoral program, but they implement it. That’s quite different from the Hamas charter.

The disconnect with normal, rational sanity is almost palpable. You cannot treat people like sub-human mongrel dogs, dispossess them from their rightful land and slaughter them at will for 70 years and not engender an undying hatred. Then use that hatred to justify your own existence. If ISIL is a terrorist nation now then so is Israel. They both operate from the same base.

So, if you haven't figured out what, where and who are the American Gaza, odds are it is YOU.


[UPDATE]
Tim Martin's column in the Times-Standard this Sunday, August 24, 2014: Bullies with badges and weapons: Tim says:
"We have made a serious mistake by militarizing our police force. They have become bullies with automatic weapons who feel it's their duty to stifle public dissent, arrest members of the press, and threaten citizens." 
"Threaten citizens" with brutal beatings and summary death.
What people in their right mind would vote for that?

American police in whatever configuration equals de facto, violence incarnate. Welcome to the American Gaza, Tim. How do you like being a Palestinian? Do you feel the hate?

Illegitimate Egg-Suckers Galore

I asked you the question, "Is your neighbor a threat? What about that local lying, racist blog-neighbor that fronts themselves as 'good citizens'?"

Welcome to the American Gaza and why it is important for the Elitist Rulers and their militarized police to force a complete capitulation to their will and judgments. The only way they can justify their existence is to enforce this judgment on everyone else: "Beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect."

This is why these Elitist Facist are dead souls as exemplified by "Zionism's original sin." They compromised away their humanity and took what did not belong to them. They are illegitimate bastards, without credibility or value. A fact established in history regarding the Jews as a people and recognized by Miko Peled's:

Gaza reminds us of Zionism’s original sin

Non-cooperation and resistance

Listening to this, I was reminded of Jewish communities under the Nazi regime who believed that if they cooperated and showed they were good citizens then all would be well. But the road from cooperation to the concentration camps and then the gas chambers was a direct one.   
**** 
So why the fear? Why the constant, six-decade-long campaign against Gaza? Because Palestinians in Gaza, more so than anywhere else, pose a threat to Israel’s legitimacy. 
Israel is an illegitimate creation brought about by a union between racism and colonialism. The refugees who make up the majority of the population in the Gaza Strip are a constant reminder of this. 
They are a reminder of the crime of ethnic cleansing upon which Israel was established. The poverty, lack of resources and lack of freedom stand in stark contrast to the abundance, freedom and power that exist in Israel and that rightfully belongs to Palestinians.

Suck Eggs, Eric Kirk

When I listened to Noam Chomsky on Democracy Now I thought about Eric Kirk and his plethora of corrupt and degenerate attitudes and disease-ridden filthy lies puked out on his blog, SoHum Parlance II, about the Palestinian people and their struggle to be recognized and accepted as such. "Hideous. Sadistic. Vicious. Murderous. That is how Noam Chomsky describes Israel’s 29-day offensive in Gaza that killed nearly 1,900 people and left almost 10,000 people injured." And literally decimated the infrastructure - leaving thousands homeless. That's how I describe Kirk and his supporters' war on the truth, and everything that is held decent and right in our society and community with their constant "repetition of the most vulgar Israeli propaganda."

Click here to watch Part 1 of the interview.
Click here to watch all of Part 2 of the interview.

Part 1 - NOAM CHOMSKY: It’s a hideous atrocity, sadistic, vicious, murderous, totally without any credible pretext. It’s another one of the periodic Israeli exercises in what they delicately call "mowing the lawn." That means shooting fish in the pond, to make sure that the animals stay quiet in the cage that you’ve constructed for them, after which you go to a period of what’s called "ceasefire," which means that Hamas observes the ceasefire, as Israel concedes, while Israel continues to violate it. Then it’s broken by an Israeli escalation, Hamas reaction. Then you have period of "mowing the lawn." This one is, in many ways, more sadistic and vicious even than the earlier ones. 
Part 2 - NOAM CHOMSKY on BOB SCHIEFFER: Well, we don’t really have to listen to CBS, because we can listen directly to the Israeli propaganda agencies, which he’s quoting. It’s a shameful moment for U.S. media when it insists on being subservient to the grotesque propaganda agencies of a violent, aggressive state. As for the comment itself, the Israel comment which he—propaganda comment which he quoted, I guess maybe the best comment about that was made by the great Israeli journalist Amira Hass, who just described it as "sadism masked as compassion." That’s about the right characterization.
About the issue of "recognition," or refusal to recognize, that justifies the "destruction of Israel" as illegitimate - Something of which Eric Kirk is an expert.

AMY GOODMAN: But you hear repeatedly, Hamas has in its charter a call for the destruction of Israel. And how do you guarantee that these thousands of rockets that threaten the people of Israel don’t continue? 
NOAM CHOMSKY: Very simple. First of all, Hamas charter means practically nothing. The only people who pay attention to it are Israeli propagandists, who love it. It was a charter put together by a small group of people under siege, under attack in 1988. And it’s essentially meaningless. There are charters that mean something, but they’re not talked about. So, for example, the electoral program of Israel’s governing party, Likud, states explicitly that there can never be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. And they not only state it in their charter, that’s a call for the destruction of Palestine, explicit call for it. And they don’t only have it in their charter, you know, their electoral program, but they implement it. That’s quite different from the Hamas charter. [Emphasis mine]
Suck eggs. When I think of a "egg-sucker" I think of a weasel or lying, deviate skunk. However, there is another meaning, quoting Wikipedia: "Teaching grandmother to suck eggs is an English language saying meaning that a person is giving advice to someone else about a subject that they already know about (and probably more than the first person." That's why I let Noam Chomsky do the talking.

The degradation and evil ways of the Zionist Jews and their ability to act with such deprivation and sadistic immoral beliefs and thinking that permeates their souls to the core did not happen in a day. It's been with them from the beginning as Golda Meir's statement attest. Quote: "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children," she said, "but we can never forgive them for forcing us to kill their children." This is the most corrupt and depraved way of thinking and is the root of all war and violence. Yet local people seem to think they have that right. Another example of death-dealing thinking from dead souls.

The Bible's Jesus spoke of these Jews in his time, words of truth and wisdom that still apply to this day.
A Tree and Its Fruit "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. -Matthew 7:15-20.

Shove Your Anti-Semitism

A must re-print for this day and the Joe Blow Report. I don't always agree with Juan Cole's conclusions, but on this, he's right on the mark - American hypocrisy, a clear symptom of illegitimacy as a nation and it's bastard spawn, Israel.



Americans need to Answer: When WillPalestinians get their Fourth of July?
By  | Jul. 4, 2014 | 
Americans are commemorating the Fourth of July today, the anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence. 
The grievances that the four million inhabitants of British North America had in
1776 were not felt by them to be narrow or specific but rather universal, and so
too was the remedy. They laid against the government of King George III that it
was not serving the interests of its North American subjects. 
Thomas Jefferson wrote,
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” 
All human beings are created equal, the founders of the United States believed. 
That means that Palestinians, as human beings, are also created equal. The text
says “all.” 
Moreover, the Palestinians by virtue of being “men” (i.e. human beings) have
been endowed by God with the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 
The Palestinians do not have any of these rights, whether God wants them to or not. They were successively ethnically cleansed from their homeland of Palestine by militant Jewish settlers. (There were no Jews in Palestine to speak of as recently as 1800; Bonaparte found about 3,000 I think; Palestine was inhabited by Muslim and Christian Palestinians and as late as 1939 the British mandatory authorities envisaged a Palestinian state in 1949). Some 750,000 were expelled with no compensation and their land and property usurped in 1948. More tens of thousands were displaced in 1967. Their numbers have grown. Some 20 percent of Israel is remnants of the original Palestinian inhabitants, some 1.6 million persons. They are second class citizens in many ways.
But the some 4 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank and Gaza, and the
several hundred thousand living in Lebanese refugee camps, are living lives the
opposite of the ones Jefferson declared natural. They are stateless. In the West
Bank they live under Israeli military rule; there are a few civil institutions, but all
of these can be over-ruled by the whim of the Israeli army. Palestinians do not
control their land, water or air. In Gaza, the Israelis have put them under siege,
including the children and non-combatants in general. They aren’t allowed to
export virtually anything they produce. They have no port or airport (both
bombed by Israel). They suffer from massive unemployment and even
malnutrition. The Israelis have placed the Palestinians of Gaza in a huge open-air
concentration camp. With American and European help. 
In the phrase of Warren Burger, the stateless have no right to have rights. They
do not have the right to life, or liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. They may be
killed with impunity (the Israeli army has killed 9 Palestinians, including children,in its crackdown on the West Bank over the horrific kidnapping and killing
of three Israeli youth. The horrid character of the crime does not authorize Israel to
engage in collective punishment nor Israelis to act as vigilantes and deprive other
people of life or liberty.) 
So the Palestinians do not have a right to life. They have no liberty at all as the US
founding generation conceived it. And they certainly have no right to pursue
happiness. Their lives are constrained and made difficult by deliberate actions of
Israeli officials and officers and armed squatters on their land who torment them. 
The Declaration of Independence insists that people have a right to elect their
government. But Palestinians cannot elect the Israeli government, which actually
rules them (and they cannot elect the Lebanese or Syrian governments either,
where there are significant Palestinian refugee populations). The elections held
after the Oslo process have been undone by deliberate Israeli intransigence.
When Palestinians vote for the Palestine Authority, in any case, they are not
actually getting representation that matters. Unelected forces in Israel still control
their land, air and sea. 
When Palestinians elected a Hamas government in 2006, the Israelis disrupted it
and fomented a PLO coup against it. The Americans in 1776 said of King George,
“He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly
firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.” Palestinian parliamentarians
have been arrested in large numbers by Israeli soldiers on the West Bank. Some
are now again kidnapped. 
The early Americans were angry that King George III took away land at will, which
is something the Israelis routinely do to the Palestinians. They also minded that
he appointed the court judges. The Palestinians have no courts in which to
adjudicate their claims, being forced to litigate in front of unsympathetic Israeli
judges. 
Did the Americans mind that the king was “cutting off our Trade with all parts of
the world?” Israelis are doing that to the Palestinians. Were they angry at him
“for depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury”? The Israelis
arrest and hold people for a very long time without any judicial process. 
The remedy the early Americans applied to these problems, of rising up against
foreign occupying troops, is not available to Palestinians. The Israelis are too
strong, too well armed, and too backed to the hilt by the US Congress, many
members of which have more or less been bribed by pro-Israel donors. Opposing the Israeli occupation is routinely equated in the US to “terrorism,”even though Palestinians are the aggrieved party. But in any case, the Declaration of Independence does not say all men are created equal except those that have some violent people among them. And King George III saw the American revolutionaries as terrorists, too. 
The horrible thing is that US diplomacy and US taxpayers’ money is going
toward keeping the Palestinians stateless and without rights. Americans are
doing to a helpless people exactly the kinds of things they wouldn’t put up with
from King George III for themselves. 
Americans don’t have a responsibility to liberate everyone in the world. But they
do have a responsibility not to help Israel deprive Palestinians of their inalienable
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Holocaust By Any Other Name

Or a "rose by any other name would smell just as 'rotten.'

As some who's father was on the front lines personally witnessing the German's efforts to eradicate the Jews and other political and religious pariahs – Enemies of the State, I had the opportunity, over the years, to hear some of what he experienced. Of this I experienced his life-long condemnation of the German people for what they did. To him, the Nuremberg trials, judgments and executions was merely “icing on the cake.” Not for what the German's had done to the Jews and others, but for the cost in American lives. Combat troops didn't just blame the German High Command and their soldiers, but all the people. To him the firebombing of Dresden that killed thousands of women and children at the end of the war was totally justified, because no German was innocent.

It was with some interest Tuesday, June 5, 2012, when watching Democracy Now: Polish Resistance Figure Jan Karski, Honored withPosthumous Medal of Freedom, in His Own Words. Here he recounts that his primary reason for coming to the United States and speaking to two incredulous individuals, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter and President Roosevelt. He wanted the Allies to drop leaflets all over Germany to make sure that the average German citizen was personally aware of what Hitler was doing to the Jews. What he doesn't talk about it exactly what he was doing to the Americans through Frankfurter and Roosevelt, that of making all Americans aware and responsible.

The paradox, however, is contained in what the remaining Jews did to the Palestinian people the moment they found themselves in a similar situation as the Germans and other European people. Democracy Now, again, highlights this in: Five Broken Cameras: Home VideosEvolve into Stirring Film on Palestinian Resistance to Israeli Wall.

What was done to the Jews and subsequently done to the Palestinian people is a matter of recorded history.

Judgment Day


Are the Palestinians going to stand up and claim their rights as legitimate people same as all others, including the Jews and Americans? Or are the going to roll-over like a horny, mongrel dog and justify what the Jews did to them these past 63 years? Judgment day has arrived...

Steve Lendman thinks Palestine's Abbas has already capitulated, sold out and betrayed the Palestinian People. Considering the leadership in this country for the past decade, I'd say he's in good company. Problem is, neither people can see beyond their wants and desires - and to a large extent, their misguided beliefs in Jew Value.

An apparent contravening point of view is expressed Leeds Palestine Solidarity Campaign

Interestingly, both articles support the same premise: the Palestinian People are sold out or betrayed; totally devalued as a legitimate people. What the Americans and the Jews understand is that any legal recognition, whether it be tacit, abject or de jure delegitimizes Israel's right to exist in any state. Thus mandating the only viable solution for any kind of peace – A single state.

Peace

What does it take to make peace? Probably the same thing it takes to “make” babies.

Not unlike making babies, peace, it seems, is an illusive reality. You might believe you are at peace, when in reality, you are at war. For example, an embargo or a blockade is an act of war. A physical breach of one's borders or person is also an act of war. By the same token a false, lying accusation impugning your person or character and reputation is the same as a physical slap in the face – you are at war. Violating another's sovereignty is an act of war. Each of these examples possess one characteristic, rejection or refusal to recognize the legitimate existence or legitimate right to exist as an equal of the other, whether it be an individual, a community or a country.

A classic example of this was and remains the underlying reasons that the Jews used to justify taking and possessing by force land that did not legally belong to them and then calling it their country. Getting the United Nations to agree by majority consent granting or decreeing Israel as their nation state. To the Jew, the legitimate land owner, the Palestinian people, were and remain a sub-human race or species. It is solely upon this basis or forced judgment that the legitimacy and continued existence of Israel stands justified. For 63 years the Jews have successfully kept these people from becoming any kind of an entity equal to them. Moreover they along with their “supporter,” intend to keep the world through the United Nations from doing for the Palestinians what was done for them, acquire legal recognition through a nation state. That way they can continue to wage legal war on the Palestinians without any accountability; they're only defending themselves. It isn't a matter of choice and never was. Total and complete rejection of any Palestinian rights let alone statehood is a matter of mutual survival. Unfortunately, for Barack Obama and all of his Israeli supporters the 63 year history of the Jews as they enforce the unenforceable condemns and convicts them exactly for who and what they are – a corrupt, illegitimate usurper.

So what does it take to make peace? I thought this chance encounter with Hussein Ibish was a good example. Mr. Ibish's bio is located on his blog. I'm always impressed when people respond to my observations. You would think that at that first encounter their actions would denote or establish their tacit recognition and acceptance of you and of your legitimacy same as theirs. Here you are doing them a favor by personally acknowledging their actions or statements and they respond by trying to make you justify that right. They refuse to accept you on the terms YOU offer them, rather they demand that you accede to the terms they demand of you. They do this by openly disputing your intentions as offered and make you the deviate liar really waging war with them. Fortunately, they expose the truth for all to see when they act on their lies, accusations and judgmental beliefs.

Apparently, Mr Ibish is some sort of an authority on all matters Jew, Israeli, Arab and Palestinian. For sure from what he says, someone sure thinks he is. I make it a habit to follow certain individuals on Twitter like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Duss among many others for current world and local updates. The other day Matt Duss retweeted something Hussein Ibish said about Benjamin Netanyahu's speech where he asserted the Israel was NOT occupying Palestine. So I tweeted the following response which elicited the following exchange and terminal course of conduct by Mr. Ibish. Some of the Tweets were edited, but you can get the point of the interaction.

Here is my first edited retweet of his comment and second clarifying comment:
1) And NEVER will. Israel's legitimacy to exist precludes that reality. RT @Ibishblog: [] Israel has never recognized Palestine. 24 May 10:01

2) He's right - Palestinians are. RT @Ibishblog: Bibi claims Israel not "foreign occupiers" in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. 24 may 10:05
This is his first reply:
Ibishblog reply: @JoeBlowReport The US, UN, every country in the world and all of international law would beg to differ with that bizarre theory. 24 May 10:06
Now my questioning response:
@Ibishblog Why then did Netanyahu take that position? The de facto reality supports his position. That's why NO peace – ever. 24 May 10:11
And his final reply. Notice he does not answer my question, but personally attacks me. Classic method used by someone unable to sustain or defend what they did or said with an unsubstantiated or totally unjustified personal accusation.
Ibishblog reply: @JoeBlowReport I have nothing to say to a supporter of conflict and war and an opponent of peace and compromise.
What Mr. Ibish demonstrates here is why there is no peace or peace prospects for Israel and the Palestinians.  He gives himself away as a warmonger by his demonstrated attitude. He's totally clueless as to who and what I am and yet he's publicly judging me and my intentions as if he is God Almighty.

More importantly is, one, his inability to see beyond his own narrow point of view and limited understanding. And two, his complete inability or incapability to listen or see six decades of de facto reality. Benjamin Netanyahu is not postulating some "bizarre theory." He's trying to tell people like Hussein Ibish that he and his people have a legitimate position that justifies their actions and their historical actions. It is for this reason, because Arabs and Palestinians, are working at cross-purposes and cannot see how they are working against themselves that they are so totally controlled and predictable.

Consequently, based upon my own personal life's experiences, I'd say the prospect for lasting peace between Arab and Jew is a non-negotiable reality, if not an impossibility. How do you negotiate peace with people like Mr. Hussein Ibish? The fact is you cannot as long as he is dropping bombs on you. You can surrender, but that's all.

Not long after this exchange he wrote the following article on Foreign Policy: Should the Palestinians Recognize Israel as a Jewish State? No -- it's just another delaying tactic by Benjamin Netanyahu.”
 
Then there was the conversation on BlogDog Crosstalk: “Obama, Israel & Peace Illusion” with Daniel Pollak, Paul Scham and Hussein Ibish where Daniel Pollak reaffirmed Netanyahu's assertion and my observation.

*****

The so-called two-state solution was a ruse designed to do exactly what has happened, stall until Israel consolidated everything it wanted as intended right from the beginning. Just like Mr. Ibish, there was never ever any recognition of my legitimate right to dare question him or assert my right to imply individual legitimacy as a human man equal to him. The legitimacy of his whole existence is based upon a dream or a mirage contained within his mind and anyone that questions or threatens that fantasy is at war with him. And so it is with the Jews.

Juan Cole (more or less) Beats Around the Bush

[UPDATE Below]

Juan Cole writes today, Israeli Soldiers’ Brutality at Prison Camp for Palestinians - should be an eye-opener for any decent human being. The “Privileged Class,” in this case the Jews are exposed, AGAIN, for who and what they are as a nation and as a people. 

While he lays down some seriously condemnatory facts, and exposes the complicity of Jeffrey Goldberg, journalist for The Atlantic, he show extreme difficulty calling a spade a spade. After detailing the “in-your-face” wanton, lawless criminality of the Israeli people he, concludes by saying:
Israel has many positive accomplishments to its name, but its policies toward the Palestinians are a national tragic flaw. Israel cannot become a normal, really successful society until it lets Palestinians have statehood and popular sovereignty.
The greatest “positive accomplishments to its name” are defined by Mr. Cole when he says,
“Israeli national mythology attempts to erase this foundational crime and to deny the very existence of the Palestinians, of whom there are now some 11 million.”
It is the “mythological” belief that is the root cause of the Jews inability to coexist peacefully with the Palestinians. And, I might add, the Americans with the rest of the world. Americans respect NO national sovereignty of any country, i.e., so-called "War on Terror." In their minds these people, Palestinians, are a non-entity, a non-person, a non-species certainly NOT equal to them. How do you talk to someone that doesn't exist? It is here where Mr. Cole capitulates by defining the Jew's delegitimizing criminal state of being as a “national tragic flaw.”

The real “flaw” here is contained in Mr. Cole's next statement where he says Israel's growth as a people depends upon them “letting” the Palestinians “have” statehood and popular sovereignty.” The legitimate right of a people to “statehood” and “popular sovereignty,” by definition, does NOT depend or rely upon another person's, people's or nation's permission. Because the Palestinians do no “exist” there can be NO will of any people to justify and legitimize “popular sovereignty.” Not withstanding his contradictory state of being, he has defined exactly why there shall never be any peaceful coexistence between Jew and Palestinian. The Jewish people have had over 60 years to reconcile their aberrant beliefs with truth and reality. Like Juan Cole and many other misdirected and misinformed people, he believes that the Jews are in the position of giving recognition and accepting these people or not. For the Jew's to accept the Palestinians in any way, such as recognize a Two-State reality, would cause or force them to the deny their original premise, legal or not, for their state or nation of Israel - to reject their legitimate right to exist as a people.

Read the complete article what he (and I) consider(s) Israel's "foundational crime." It's not long. There are two extremely revealing videos. [Emphasis added]


[UPDATE :: Monday, April 18, 2011]

In the same vein, Juan Cole writes, Saving What's Left of the Constitution. Here's the pertinent excerpt:
I am relieved that Judge Lynch and his colleagues reinstated the suit, and a little surprised, as well. The courts, prosecutors and even the present attorney general have let the Bush administration get away with so many crimes that I had begun to suspect that that our system had just become too corrupt and/or politicized to protect basic American freedoms.
I emphasized those words to illustrate the same "beat around the bush" attitude. Did you notice who is missing" Who he omitted from responsibility for refusing to comply with his solemn oath to enforce the U.S. Constitution? Worthy of note, however, was his equating "corruption" with "politics." Unfortunately, he doesn't equate "American freedoms" with the fundamental issue, American citizens obligation to obey and enforce and to demand and enforce its government to obey, comply and enforce the Constitution to justify American Sovereign Legitimacy.
