God’s chosen Terrorists!

Israel’s forced boarding and seizure of the MV Rachel Corrie in international waters yesterday highlights what many commentators are loath to mention and others are at pains to hide; the cultural consciousness/basis behind which the inhuman actions of Israel toward non-Jews are realised.

Every culture has at its foundation a cultural ideology or basic belief system and Jews are no exception. The very clear (loathsome) racist component in Judaic theology and the devaluing of all non-Jewish life, which it engenders, is too often ignored by commentators and the mass media as the primary causative factor behind Israel’s grossly inhuman treatment of non-Jews; I refer to the seminal Jewish text:

Deuteronomy
7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7:16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

Joshua
6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

6:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

6:24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
The above quotes and the barbaric behaviours they ENCOURAGE are an abomination to ALL civilised human beings – notwithstanding the FACT that racism and terrorism are crimes in most civilised societies. The Jewish ideology clearly explains the wilful, inhuman treatment that Jews mete out to non-Jews and their attitude to the vast non-Jewish majority of humans on this planet; a pertinent quote from a previous paper follows:
“Regardless of the opinions of apologists, the [above] passages CLEARLY REFLECT CURRENT REALITY!

It is irrelevant whether or not Jews regard themselves as moderate or extreme they have ALL been socialised by this extreme ideology and regard themselves as ‘superior,’ special, chosen …”
The current Israeli situation is INTOLERABLE; whether governments choose to ignore or act on the gross violations and crimes against humanity constantly committed by Israel has now become a secondary consideration; IT IS CLEAR THE PEOPLE ARE SHOWING THE WAY FORWARD – a return to peaceful human relations minus the PERVERSE, VIOLENT and DIVISIVE myths of the past.

I would mention that the PEACE ship seized by Israelis yesterday was named after an American peace activist who stood in front of an Israeli bulldozer to prevent the destruction of Palestinian homes – we recall a brave Chinese activist standing before a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square, with the distinction that the Chinese Army did not callously run over and murder the activist. Rachel Corrie was callously run over and died a horrible death under the ‘hands’ of a barbaric, cruel and racist State. A State that is shamelessly supported by the USA!

In conclusion I would emphasise that the PEACE and humanitarian aid flotilla bound for blockaded Gaza was a MULTINATIONAL force representative of ALL people of conscience throughout the WORLD.

Peace.

Israel Refuses to Apologise for Civilian Slaughter during Bungled Raid on Humanitarian Aid Convoy

Israel 'to reject international ship raid inquiry'

Israel will reject a proposed international commission to investigate its deadly raid on a Gaza aid flotilla, its ambassador to the US has said.

Michael Oren told US broadcaster Fox News that Israel has the ability and the right to investigate its own military.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon had earlier telephoned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu with the proposal.

Nine people died when Israeli commandos stormed the Turkish ship last week.

"We are rejecting an international commission. We are discussing with the Obama administration a way in which our inquiry will take place," Mr Oren told Fox News Sunday.

He said Israel would not apologise for the incident. Eight of those killed were Turkish, and the ninth had joint US-Turkish nationality.

Mr Netanyahu was due to discuss Mr Ban's proposal with senior cabinet ministers on Sunday.

But Mr Oren said: "Israel is a democratic nation. Israel has the ability and the right to investigate itself, not to be investigated by any international board."

The proposed commission would have included representatives from the US, Turkey and Israel and could have been headed by former New Zealand Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer.
Activists deported

Meanwhile, Israel has deported seven activists who tried to sail another aid ship to Gaza in defiance of Israel's blockade.

They were among 11 campaigners and eight crew detained after troops boarded their ship the Rachel Corrie.

Mr Netanyahu has described those on board the Irish-owned Rachel Corrie as "peace activists", but labelled the other vessel - the Mavi Marmara - a "ship of hate organised by violent Turkish terror extremists".

Post-mortem examinations in Turkey revealed that 30 bullets had been found in the victims' bodies - one activist had four in the head.

The results seem to contradict Israel's assertion that their commandos used minimum lethal force, the BBC's Jonathan Head, in Istanbul, says.

In another development on Sunday, a senior Iranian military figure said the country's elite Revolutionary Guards were ready to escort aid flotillas to Gaza if ordered to by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"The Revolutionary Guards' naval forces are fully prepared to escort freedom and peace flotillas carrying humanitarian aid from all over the world to the oppressed people of Gaza," Ali Shirazi, Ayatollah Khamenei's naval representative, told Mehr news agency.

Israel stepped up its blockade of Gaza in 2007, when the Islamist Hamas movement took control of the territory, and says its policies will not change while Hamas remains in power.

Israel’s Policy of Killing Civilians
by Paolo Barnard via stan - Gulagnik Saturday, Jun 5 2010, 10:55pm

Killing civilians has been State policy in Israel since 1948. It’s not about “tragic mistakes”, there’s no “deep regret for the incident”. Killing civilians is what Israel has founded itself on with the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and this is what allows it to live.

What is to be added to this is the outright impunity Israel enjoys, because it consitutes de facto the largest American military base on the planet.

By connecting Israel’s innermost policy of killing civilians to its outright impunity, we understand precisely what happened on the Freedom Flotilla ship.

On January 1948, the founding fathers of Israel, Yigal Allon and Ben Gurion, declared that “there is a need for a brutal reaction. We need to be accurate about those we hit, if we accuse a family we need to harm them without mercy, women and children included…. There is no need to distinguish between guilty and not guilty”.

In 1978, the Israeli Chief of Staff, Mordechai Gur, told the Israeli military analyst Ze’ev Schiff that “for 30 years we have been fighting a war against civilians who live in villages…..we struck civilians consciously because they deserved it….our army has never distinguished between civilian and military targets but purposely attacked civilian targets”.

In 2000, Dan Halutz, who also was later to be the IDF Chief of Staff, after an air strike he himself conducted and in which civilians were slain, claimed “What did I feel? Only a light bump to the plane as a result of the bomb’s release but a second later it’s gone”.

Israel’s invasions in Lebanon and its actions in the Occupied Territories are an on-going litany of international massacres of civilians. Anyone can check out the condemnations Israel has received from any single institution of international law and from human rights organizations. It would have made no difference if all the dead from the Freedom Flotilla had been American pacifist activists. Rachel Corrie was, and she was slain, Tristan Anderson was American and he was shot in the head point-blank, and Tom Hurndall, James Miller and Brian Avery were western, Anglo-Saxon names as well.

The lesson we must learn is that the utmost sacrifice of these young heroes who gave their lives and who did that in order to end the crime against humanity of the Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine—because it’s precisely what Israel has been doing for 60 years and today carries out by starving and strangling civilian Palestinians before us, cowardly western accomplices, with the approval of our Presidents, like the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, who are accomplices in committing crimes against humanity—has been in vain. As long as the western public opinion goes on thinking that “yes, Israel kills and this is wrong, but it is the only democracy, but Israel must defend itself, but Israel is victim of Arab terrorism, but Israel is the lesser evil” and so on. There will be no massacre, no sacrifice of a young life, no heroic act that will make any difference whatsoever for justice in Palestine.

Enough with putting one’s life at risk there, it’s of no use. Let’s use our lives so as to form in the western public opinion the awareness of what Israel really is—the fact that it’s not a democracy, that self-defence and security are just pretexts, that it’s the true terrorist and the worst danger in the Middle East—and of how abhorrent its impunity is, because, as Noam Chomsky stated, “history tells us that when people detect barbarism, they take action to stop it”. It’s the only way.
