Gaza: Planned Chaos and Eradication

Ben White's Guardian article explains the logic of the Zionist right to defense argument in justifying Israel's high-tech pogrom on Gaza.

I have noticed several groups shilling for US Israel advocacy organizations for the purpose of preventing humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza.

The EU appears to have decided (possibly under pressure) that no money will be released for Gaza reconstruction until Hamas is eliminated.

The combination suggests a well thought-out, already laid-out and coordinated plan

to create chaos and death in Gaza,
to sugar-coat premeditated killings of women and children, and
to prevent relief from reaching the most needy.

It is pure Catch-22 because even if Hamas were to eliminate itself (and I doubt it is), Hamas is the only organization that has proven capable of managing Gaza especially in disastrous situations like the aftermath of Israel's murderous aggression.

If some Zionist or fool babbles incoherently like my Congressman Mike Capuano about "Israel's right to defend itself," just tell him or her that country-stealers or more properly home-invaders have no right to defend themselves under any rational criminal code.

(Of course, under the Zionist code, Jews have the right to plunder and to kill non-Jews with impunity. Why does any decent person tolerate Zionist non-sense? It is really scary that in terms of skepticism toward Zionism and willingness to hold the State of Israel accountable for its actions, Capuano is one of the better congressmen.)

Israeli Scholar Revisits Academic Boycott

In The Magnes Zionist: Please Help This Young Man Get to America, Professor Jeremiah Haber continues to cover the sage of the Gaza Fulbright scholars as was as a Gaza High School student who were going to attend school in the USA this September.

Philip Weiss discusses Haber's article in The U.S. Must Reverse Its Decision to Bar Gaza Boy From Coming Here to Study.

Haber writes:

That somebody like Ahmed could grow up in a place like Gaza seems incomprehensible to many Israelis. That Gaza could be home to doctors, lawyers, and university professors, seems as incomprehensible. Such is the power of prejudice and stereotypes.

Haber may be focusing on the wrong target group. The Israeli government is not particularly worried that Israeli Zionists might change their beliefs, for they are well indoctrinated.

If Americans meet real live Palestinians, Israel advocacy groups will have a lot more difficulty in demonizing and dehumanizing Arabs and Muslims as some almost certainly Zionist Jewish dominated PR firm attempted in the Nissan ad discussed in Nissan Pulls Ad Featuring Vengeful Arab Stereotype.

The Gaza scholars and student story is interesting because it fits a pattern in the battle for domination of American discourse. Israel Advocacy groups are making greater use of non-Jewish proxy groups to their dirty work -- in this case middle level bureacrats at the US State Department.

I will post more on the subject soon but in this case the benefit of the proxy discourse war is fairly clear. Pro-Palestinian advocates cannot argue that an Israeli siege of Palestinian students and scholars provides an undebatable argument for boycotting Israeli academia. Sphere: Related Content

Israeli Scholar Revisits Academic Boycott

The Magnes Zionist discusses the treatment of Fulbright recipients and poses an important question:

I have always held academic freedom to be important, and as I have written before,I am not a fan of academic boycotts. Academic freedom is very important to me. But it's a two-way street. If Israel continues to curtail the academic freedom of Palestinian students and faculty, especially in Gaza, why should Israeli academic institutions benefit from [it]. Is the academic freedom of Israelis dearer than that of Palestinians?

I cannot help but concur with Professor Haber as I have made more or less the same argument in Gazan Fulbright Scholar at Columbia with followup reports in Report on Gazan Fulbright Scholars and New Report on Gazan Fulbright Scholars. Sphere: Related Content

New Report on Gazan Fulbright Scholars

Followup: Report on Gazan Fulbright Scholars
Followup: Gazan Fulbright Scholar at Columbia

I received the following news yesterday.

Fidaa [Abed] got his visa from Jerusalem consulate last week and was finally given the Israeli permit to leave to Amman. His flight was booked on August 1st, and he actually flew from Amman to Washington DC, through Frankfurt. We thought that was the happy end of the story, and we were all waiting for Fidaa to call us from California late yesterday.. not in a bizarro world.

Fidaa was returned back to Frankfurt airport, and now he is waiting for the next flight back to Amman (like 17 hours of waiting at Frankfurt's airport). The visa officer told him that the consulate sent them a fax to cancel Fidaa's visa. We don't know yet why was that. The visa officer was astonished himself and said he'd never seen a case like that. Fidaa was not notified by the consulate about that, and he knew only in Washington DC. It must be a last minute decision. I don't know what it is. If it is intended to be a joke, it is a very poor one. It is not funny at all.

I wish I knew which consulate sent the fax to cancel Fidaa's visa.

Philip Weiss has discussed Journalism's Old-Boy-Network and Zionism. The phenomenon is not unique to the news industry, and similar Jewish networks exist throughout the business world, academia and government. The ongoing refusal of OSI to apply its mandate equally to Jews and to gentiles by including possible Jewish violators of the law in its investigations and prosecutions is probably an example of the power of Jewish networking within the US government.

With knowledge of the specific consulate where the visa cancellation originated, identification of the specific local facilitators and gatekeepers in the case of Gaza Fulbright scholars might be possible.

If we take Condeleeza Rice's reported position at face value, the hassle that Gaza Fulbright scholars have been experiencing is originating at lower bureaucratic levels and possibly in collusion with the Israeli government. (See Jewish Dominance Ohio, Subversion KSG and in particular the section that discusses the Harvard Wexner Israel Fellowship.)

Two Poems about Palestine

Real Heroes, Zionist Mental Colonization

by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

The two poems below entitled "O Gaza Students"by Nizar Qabani and "You Want to Quibble Over Whether or Not It's Genocide?" by Robert Green clearly identify the heroes and threats of the twenty-first century.

Qabani is a renowned Arabic poet, but because my Arabic is not yet good enough to appreciate Arabic poetry, I can only consider the content and not the poesy per se.

I have to thank Adib Qa`war for these wonderful translations that make practicing Arabic so easy.

I swapped the order of the bicycle and milk bottle stanzas to correspond to the order of the Arabic poem.

I changed the English line "This is the Zionist era..." to "This is the Jewish era..." to translate the Arabic original more accurately.

I understand Qa`war's reluctance to translate that line literally.

Zionists have so manipulated American discourse that stating the obvious brings accusations of anti-Semitism even though in the experience of Palestinians

practically all the Zionists are Jews,
practically all the Jews are Zionists, and
Israel defines itself as the Jewish state.

Because of the political and economic disaster to which Bush administration Neocon policy makers have brought the USA, Jewish behavior is under close scrutiny in both the USA and in the region under Israeli control.

Because so many Americans are so obviously becoming annoyed with both the Israel Lobby and the organized Jewish community, I prefer to translate the plain meaning of the text and ignore any resultant vacuous ranting.

I have to agree with Qabani that we should all be ashamed that such beautiful Palestinian children have essentially been abandoned to struggle alone against the combined might of Neocon (Jabotinskian Zionist) genocidalism and Neoliberal (Friedmanite) rapaciousness.

Since the Iran-Contra Affair Jabontinskians and Friedmanites have worked together to plunder the poor and the middle class throughout the world in order to increase the wealth and power of people already in the uppermost economic class.

We Americans really do have to learn courage from the Palestinian resistance so that we too can fight back now that these two transnational mostly ethnic Ashkenazi political elites (see Jewish, Zionist War Against Salvation ) have turned their attentions to exploit Americans in the aftermath of their failure to loot Iraq and Lebanon.

As a rally cry against the hybrid Jabotinskian-Friemanite threat, Qabani's poem works.

In contrast, Green's lament is troubling

I am acquainted with Robert Green, and fortunately he is no David Ben-Gurion even if he is a distant relative. As far as I know, he is not even Jewish, and he strongly supports the Palestinian resistance, but his poem inappropriately equates the destruction of Yiddish culture in E. Europe with the premeditated program to murder Arab Palestine.

World War I and Soviet communism (especially the Jewish-led Yevsektsia or Jewish section) gave Yiddish culture the coup de grâce long before Hitler took power in Germany.

While genocidal hatred of Jews developed in the first half of the twentieth century mostly as a reaction to the role that some radical Jews played as the quintessential Soviet class trying both to perfect and also to spread the communist revolution throughout the world, the primary Zionist sources indicate that angry disenfranchised ethnic Ashkenazi intelligentsia plotted the murder of Arab Palestine in cold blood in E. Europe since the 1880s simply as a stepping stone to obtaining the power, wealth, and status to which they believed they were entitled. (See The Pattern of Ethnic Ashkenazi Genocidalism: The Jewish Century by Yuri Slezkine. Note that Jewish Friedmanism and Jewish Marxism are fundamentally twisted mirror images of each other.)

Green's poem both

glosses over the many crimes that German and Eastern European Jews planned or undertook long before the Holocaust started and also
absolves unrepentant Zionist perpetrators by incorrectly depicting their crimes as the result of impersonal historical development even though the Zionist leadership was from the start and remains to this day genuinely malevolent.

Poems like Green's show Zionist colonization of the mind.

Consider the last stanza:

I can't find my grandmother's village

on a map of Belarus, what she called "White Russia."

It was called "Kapulya," "near Minsk,"

but it's not there.

as isn't Palestine.

Kapulya, which is also Kopil or Kopyl, still exists. The town has about 10,000 people

A major aspect of the Zionist program consisted of disconnecting Jews from Eastern Europe and their real past so that they could be more easily indoctrinated to believe that they really belonged in Palestine and that Palestine belonged to them. Neither claim is true. Yet, Palestine can still be saved if the lies that dominate American political, popular, and academic discourse about Jews and the State of Israel can be exposed.

No one likes to be conned, and thanks to Neocon scam artists, the legal mechanisms are fully in place to retaliate against Zionists with medieval vindictiveness. We Americans simply have to demand that the US government prosecute Jewish Zionists for their criminal violations in the same way it does non-Jews. No American group is above the law, and America has no hereditary aristocracy despite the beliefs of far too many Jews in their own superiority.

Obviously prosecuting, penalizing, and incarcerating American Jewish Zionists won't compensate the Palestinian children pictured below for all the abuse, suffering, degradation, oppression, and death that they should never have experienced, but such punishment of members of the Israel Lobby and the organized Jewish community is a good start on the path to full retribution.
