Flag this messageSri Lanka: Major humanitarian crisis unfolding, hundreds of civilians killed, please helpSunday, 1 February, 2009 4:00 AM From: This sender is DomainKeys verified"IndiaDivine.org" View contact detailsTo: lunarorange2002@yahoo.com.auPLEASE HELP, FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS. Please help the suffering Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka. Call for an immediate cease fire in Sri Lanka so that civilians may escape the conflict zone. 300,000 Tamil Civilians are trapped in a terrible warzone in Northern Sri Lanka, with hundreds being killed every day. The size of the war zone is just 15 kilometers by 20 kilometers, and there are 300,000 civilians packed into that tiny piece of land, which is constantly being bombed and shelled by the Sri Lankan government. All reporters and international aid agencies have been banned from the warzone by the Sri Lankan government, so that the international community cannot know what goes on. On January 24th alone, 300 civilians were killed in the government designated "safe zone" by Sri Lankan government artillery fire. The following shocking video shows the terrible situation the children in the war zone are facing every single day.

Victoria And South Australia Heat Wave/Fires

Victoria and South Australia are in a heat wave Victoria seems to be the worst hit Has uncontrolable bush fires that have burnt houses and properties And threatened power lines and electric supplies Electric was already in short supply due to the overuse of airconditioners etc Some elderly people have died due to heat stroke AND FIRE BUGS are said to be active, lighting fires deliberately, pity them if caught by fire victims Most fires are said to be lit by lightening strikes or spot fires from existing fires Spot fires i have seen, it is no fun when they light the bush up around you, as appearing from no where A good wet potatoe sack is a good weapon to snuff out spot fires before they get going, one has to be quick, else its too late Better than the longest handled rake you can ever get You heard of the expression,"so dumb, would not know if their arse was on fire"? well it nearly happened to me, and i wasnt dumb, just hot and thirsty. This spot fire started right behind me, at the heel of my safety boot, thats the nearest i got to having my arse on fire. My workmate yelled a warning, and was laughing at the same time I was completely unaware of the spotfire One thing i learnt when fire fighting is that there are a lot of people giving orders and fewer people actualy fighting the fire The class system operates even under these conditions Meanwhile northern australia is having a good wet season and got flood emergencies Maybe the two populations could swop over living conditions for a break!

Israeli Action Again

The facts -- even the modicum of facts that can be gleaned through the deadly wall of Israeli censorship and the perverse and sinister distortions of the American media -- speak loudly, with horrifying clarity, for themselves. We are witnessing monstrous crimes, committed with cold deliberation: a bloodthirsty spectacle of unbridled terrorism, openly celebrated by the political and media elites of Israel and America. This is, of course, the same kind of moral insanity that has raged around the American terrorist attack on Iraq for many years. It is the same moral insanity that guides the actions of power in many lands, in increasingly brazen and unapologetic ways, with less and less of the shamefaced furtiveness that once surrounded such abominations as military aggression, torture, "ethnic cleansing" and other crimes of power down through the centuries. This furtiveness was hypocrisy, of course -- but in hypocrisy there remains some vestige of the morality it falsely purports to uphold, some awareness that an evil thing is being done which must be hidden or disguised. [For complete article reference links, please see source here.] But now the masks are falling away -- or rather, they are being flung aside with gleeful abandon. America's top officials -- including the president and vice president -- openly admit to ordering torture...and they are praised for it, even held up as shining examples for future leaders to follow. Vast swathes of the corporate media labor mightily to justify the ancient evil of the water torture, and other "high-end interrogation techniques," to use the diabolical terminology of CIA Director Michael Hayden. The escalation of the on-going American war crime in Iraq -- the so-called "surge" -- is lauded as a "success beyond our wildest dreams" by the new, "progressive" manager of the empire, Barack Obama. (Imagine calling an action that allowed a known serial killer to extend his spree for years into the future a wild, dreamy "success.") Citizens of the "liberal democracy" in Israel -- the "light unto the nations" -- gather in safety and comfort on open hillsides to watch, cheering, as bombs fall on the trapped and helpless civilians penned in the Gaza ghetto. These macabre celebrations are echoed across America, where bitter partisan foes put aside their differences to come together in their unstinting, uncritical support of child murder across the sea. What commentary could adequately address such madness? Simply to see it is to know what it is. And if you cannot already see it for what it plainly is -- when the bare, unaccomodated facts shout this evil from the lower depths to the highest heavens -- what amount of commentary will sway you? Then again, I don't write to sway anybody any more, if I ever did. I write to stay sane, to keep from exploding in rage or going dead with despair, to try to clear a space in the howling madness for myself, and for anyone else who might come this way. I write to bear witness -- mostly to myself, and to what's left of my conscience. I write because somewhere along the line, by drift of circumstance, my mind was shaped in such a way that it is only by writing that I can try to understand the world, and my own thoughts and beliefs. If I could do all that without writing -- or if I could stop looking at reality and caring about it -- then I probably would. But for whatever reason -- those same drifts of circumstance, no doubt -- I can't; so I go on. And so, back to it. What is the latest on the slow-motion razing of the Gaza Ghetto? How many dead, how many new horrors? What madness cries out from the facts today? The Independent reports: Israeli tanks thrust deep inside Gaza City last night as ferocious fighting raged in dense residential areas with terrified families fleeing along streets echoing with gunfire, although many others were trapped in their homes. sraeli shelling set fire to the UN headquarters, a hospital, a school and a building used by the media, leading to widespread international protests and renewed calls for a ceasefire in the conflict which has so far cost 1,073 Palestinian and 13 Israeli lives.... Three members of UN staff were injured when three Israeli shells hit the headquarters, setting it on fire. Thousands of tonnes of desperately needed food and humanitarian supplies were destroyed and about 700 refugees given shelter in the building had to be evacuated. UN officials said the shells were white phosphorus, believed to have been responsible for burns suffered by some Palestinian civilians. The Scotsman has more on the Israeli chemical weapon torching of desperately needed food supplies: ISRAELI shells set ablaze a food warehouse at UN headquarters in Gaza yesterday, destroying tons of emergency rations intended for needy Gaza civilians, a senior UN official said. pall of black smoke rose from the UN compound, visible across Gaza City. Flour spilled on the ground and mixed with soot as Palestinian firefighters tried to douse the flames. "The main warehouse was badly damaged by what appeared to be white phosphorus shells," UN humanitarian affairs chief John Holmes said at a news briefing in New York. Those on the ground don't have any doubt that's what they were. If you were looking for confirmation, that looks like it to me." The compound belongs to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unwra)..... Israel's prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said the military fired artillery shells at the UN compound after Hamas militants opened fire from the location, a version of events John Ging, director of Unwra in Gaza, rejected as "nonsense" Mr Ging said Israeli shells first hit a courtyard filled with refugees, then struck garages and the UN's main warehouse, sending thousands of tons of food aid up in flames. Later, fuel supplies ignited, sending a thick plume of smoke into the air. Was this really a "mistake," as the Israelis first claimed? Of course not; they knew exactly where the UN compound was located, as the Independent reports: Mr Ging said the UN had warned the Israelis the compound was in danger from shelling that had begun overnight, and provided them with GPS co-ordinates to prevent an attack. The only mistake here was the UN's, in telling the Israelis exactly where to fire in order to terrorize the organization into curtailing its increasingly strident criticism of the Gaza razing. And as noted above, it was not long before the Israelis dropped the transparent lie that the UN attack was a mistake, and instead began claiming that it was a justified response to gunfire coming from the compound. This lie too will be doubtless tumbled in due course, but the story will have already moved on to new prevarications over other atrocities by then. Yesterday also marked the beginning of what looks to be sustained campaign to destroy the remnants of Gaza's medical infrastructure. The Independent reports: The Al-Quds hospital was also hit by shellfire when Israeli tanks moved further into the city....The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said the damage caused to the Al Quds hospital is "completely and utterly unacceptable based on every known standard of international humanitarian law". The hospital is in the Tal Hawa district, a packed residential area. Streams of people fled from the fighting, carrying what belongings they could on foot, by car, and, in some cases wheelbarrows after homes were demolished and set ablaze. Mahmud Tejan Hussein drove away with seven members of his family. "Bullets started hitting our house and I decided that we must get away from here. There are Israeli tanks in the area now and we might get blocked off if we wait. But I do not know where we are going to go. We wanted to go to the UN office, but that has been attacked. Wherever we go, the fighting will follow us." Musah Mohammed, 36, who stayed at his home in an apartment block, said: "We cannot go out. There is shooting in the street. My mother is ill and she is old; we cannot leave her here. People are shouting to each other from balconies crying that they need help. We have no electricity and very little food and water. We are very afraid; we do not know what will happen next." What is the purpose of all this crimeful frenzy, this berserker rampage? Despite the earnest handwringing over these questions among the punditry, here too the facts speak clearly. The purpose of the action in Gaza is the same purpose behind every Israeli military action against the Palestinians, a goal enunciated with Kurtz-like clarity by General Moshe Ya'alon, former chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Force, in 2002: to "sear deep into the consciousness of Palestinians that they are a defeated people." We are continually told that Israel is a bastion of "Western values" in midst of barbarian lands. It is certainly proving it now. As we noted here the other day, Israel is displaying the same kind of Western values that the European settlers in North America showed in searing into the consciousness of the Native Americans that they were a defeated people. Or that the English showed in breaking the Welsh and subduing the Scots. (Although they never could quite sear the Irish deeply enough.) Or as, going back through the glorious history of European civilization, nation after nation, people after people, tribe after tribe were seared, broken, vanquished, absorbed or simply liquidated. Yes, yes, I know that's not what they mean when they speak of "Western values." They mean, essentially, that there is more personal freedom in Israel than you will find in many other countries, especially in that region. And this, essentially, is true -- as long as you are not an Israeli Arab, or a journalist who wishes to report on what your "liberal democracy" is doing in its military actions, or someone who has run afoul the ever-more violent religious extremists who are increasingly embraced by the power structure. But the Israelis have learned what the American elites have long known: "personal freedoms" (for approved groups) need not threaten the power structure. In fact, the infinite distractions they provide can even siphon away most of the political energy of the body politic, leaving elites free to do as they like: start wars, bomb hospitals, torture captives, loot the treasury on behalf of their cronies, etc. Personal freedoms are a fundamental good, of course; in fact, they are a fundamental human right, not a "gift" from the powerful. But the presence of a relative amount of personal freedom -- even a large, flourishing "dissent" industry -- in any society is not of itself a bar to crime, violence, terror, injustice and repression on the part of the government. Think of Saddam's Iraq, or Afghanistan before the American-sponsored jihad destroyed the secular socialist state there in the 1980s. Both regimes combined political repression with more personal freedoms than either of those states enjoy now. In much the same way, the personal freedoms of many Israelis and Americans have not prevented their governments from committing horrendous crimes. The victims of these crimes are just as dead, the lives of the survivors are just as shattered, just as riddled with grief and cries for revenge, no matter how free the espousers of Western values are to walk into Starbucks with a copy of Haaretz or The Nation -- or Das Kapital or Mein Kampf or People Magazine -- in their hands. If the espousers don't use their personal freedoms to oppose evil by their governments, then what does that say about their "values"? In any case, the bravura display of ancient Western values keeps going in Gaza, while a handful of people in the Western citadels of "civilization" (including Israel) are trying to use their personal freedoms to stop it. For example, a letter published in Friday's Guardian, signed by dozens of British scholars, scientists, writers, physicians, and others -- with many Jews, even some IDF veterans, among them -- gives a succinct overview of the context of the ghetto razing, along with measures to change this murderous context: The massacres in Gaza are the latest phase of a war that Israel has been waging against the people of Palestine for more than 60 years. The goal of this war has never changed: to use overwhelming military power to eradicate the Palestinians as a political force, one capable of resisting Israel's ongoing appropriation of their land and resources. Israel's war against the Palestinians has turned Gaza and the West Bank into a pair of gigantic political prisons. There is nothing symmetrical about this war in terms of principles, tactics or consequences. Israel is responsible for launching and intensifying it, and for ending the most recent lull in hostilities.... We must do what we can to stop Israel from winning its war. Israel must accept that its security depends on justice and peaceful coexistence with its neighbours, and not upon the criminal use of force. We believe Israel should immediately and unconditionally end its assault on Gaza, end the occupation of the West Bank, and abandon all claims to possess or control territory beyond its 1967 borders. We call on the British government and the British people to take all feasible steps to oblige Israel to comply with these demands, starting with a programme of boycott, divestment and sanctions. Perhaps they too are doing nothing more than trying to stay sane, trying not to explode, acting out of some psychological need to bear witness to a reality that will not change. Perhaps protesting and documenting evil will prove futile in the end. These are great likelihoods. But if those who do have some measure of personal freedom do not act and do not speak, then it is an iron certainty that these great evils will go on. source Set as favorite Bookmark Email This Comments (3) Subscribe to this comment's feed I Hear You written by Edward Virtually, January 18, 2009 Then again, I don't write to sway anybody any more, if I ever did.

North To South Queensland Water Pipeline

The North To South Queensland Water Pipeline has been quiet lately. If the state and fed govt want national employment projects in a time of unemployment, this is a good project to start on. There always will be opposition and white elephant stories etc Just like the Ord River project in WA from the 1920's onward But look at what persistance does What is the value of the Ord river Project now. To the WA and NT and fed Goverments?

North Queensland Rain

Northern Queensland has and is having a good wet season according to rainfall reports But the southern part is mostly dry and in need of rainfall There has been a few storms and showers and overcast days But nothing like the rainfall needed Some dairy farmers have chanced a sowing of grass and have enough moisture for germination One farmer was irragating to get germination Follow up rain is needed for establishment and growth Meanwhile gardens are dry, even with recent rainfall Many people dont bother with fruit and vegetable gardens(would lower cost of living) due to lack of water in tank areas, throughout the year

South Africa Teaches Australia How To Play Cricket

South Africa cricket team is doing so well at the moment, that it is teaching Australia how to play cricket The ball dont shine too much for Australia at the moment Still one cant win all the time, and if one did, it would become boring Good teams need good opponents to play, at a similar level There is nothing like winning or loosing against a good opposing team

Bats-Dont Call A Person Batty Anymore

According to some Queensland proffessor, some Bats may be related to humans, rather than other types of Bats. The theory apparently values protein more than dna in this deduction, together with the fact, that viruses carried by bats, affect humans, too much of a co-incidense. So when calling a person batty next time, be sure of what you mean!

Zimbabwe Near Agreement

Zimbabwe according to news reports is close to finalising a power sharing agreement. One would hope the ex president would leave and let a democratic elected govt reconstruct the country from the ruin its been placed in by past and present goverments

World Recession Gets Worse

The world recession gets worse with thousands loosing employment every week Thank goodness most countries have unemployment/support money for the unemployed. Else there would be greater unrest Conclusions are that the recession will get worse, and will not bottom out and start to recover for some time People will have to become more resourceful and independant where possible One wonders what the international financiers next plans are. They make money on a boom or reccession, bull or bear market.

Halocaust Remembrance Day

Halocaust Remembrance Day is here once again A bad happening in human history Of what humans can do to other humans Only those that survived can know the happening When working in a mining camp i met an ex halocaust person Who told me many things that went on The sad thing is, the way the Israeli Govt treats the Palestinians It could happen all over again

Israel-The International Liar-You Only Fool Yourself

Israel at first denied using white phosphorous in its war against Palestine Then said it only used what other nations use Then said white phosphorous had been used , but in an approved way International reports state that white phosphorous is only used as a smoke skreen between opposing forces Not as a blanket cover over a civilian or military population It is obvious Israel used white phosphorous to damage and intimidate both military and civilian population One can conclude, 1.the Israeli Govt is lying 2.Or cant control its armed forces 3.Or both Israelie's are usualy intelligent people, one can only wonder and puzzle why not in this case, and in others One thing is for certain--never trust what the Israeli govt or citizens say The reputation for honesty is long gone Its about time Israelie's got an honest govt and people

Bruce Highway Again

Police/ambulance/fire brigade/ at least one of these services were on the road today attending an accident with sirens blaring. Since the Traveston dam has been frozen and a state election is due this year in Queensland, little if anything has been said about the Bruce highway improvements, north or south of Gympie Then there is the reccession. Will the roadworks be cut back, or will they be put forward to create some employment? Decisions decisions. One thing is for sure, a one lane major highway each way, does not and never will, cater for the increasing use of the Bruce Highway. It is open to speculation why the pressing problem or challenge, refuses to be addressed. If there aint no money, why not run a state Bruce Highway Weekly lottery.

Australia Day Soon-Celebration

Australia Day is just around the corner Will mean a lot to some, less to others Will mean a lot to many Who have never before been able to call a country home Originaly settled by mostly convicts sent out from Great Britain And later by free people and refugees One wonders if convicts etc will be sent to populate the Moon and Mars In later years.Humanity doesent change alot in someways Thank goodness the situation here Will never be like some other unhappy, unsettled countries

Goverment To Set Up Building Fund

Australian goverment announces a building fund set up, to keep the building industry going in this recession. Says australian industry should not be influenced by the policies of foreign money lenders This is good, why not make all industry free from foreign money lenders Then there would probably be no recession in Australia Lets hope other goverments can do likewise.

Aussie Prime Minister To Stay Home

Aussie Prime Minister according to ABC news reports, is to stay home, rather than go on an overseas trip. Reason = the deteriating economic situation in Australia With Great Britain now officialy in recession, it seems Australia will not be far behind There have been continous attempts to talk up the world economy, despite the obvious deteriating situation, and support measures Maybe this is the payback for the WORLD FREE MARKET ECONOMY philosophy shoved down everyones throat. To support the pyramid of wealth to western nations, inturn supported by military intervention in opposing countries Maybe countries will go back to manufacturing their own needs. Re-create their identity, culture/industry etc that has been destroyed and exporting their surpluss, and importing needed goods And remain in control of their own country and identity and future The world will return to a more secure peaceful existance and future This is what the multinational world free trade ideology and practice has done Of course USA and the West wont like it

Electric And New Home Owners

The goverment grants or subsidies are said to finish soon in June 2009 For new home owners For solar electic panels for electric production It is said both schemes will be renewed after a review In the current economic situation one cant see the grants increasing

Divide And Conquor

A well known military and intelligence tactic is to divide and conquor an enemy or opposition if in politics. What goes on in the Arab world is a good example With some arab countries recieving foreign aid or quiet money to turn a blind eye to whats happenning in Palestine What else can one think Where is the brotherhood of Lawrence of Arabia Or Colonel Nasser Stick together to fight a common eniemy It may happen again one day But not at the moment The dollar and oil seems more important Till the oil runs out Then it might be too late.

Israeli War Attrocities Continue

Israeli war attrocities against Palestine continues with ABC radio reporting that an Israeli soldier shot 3 children who were waving white flags. 2 children shot dead 1 child spine blown to bits The brave defender of Israel then got back in his tank and drove off,rendering no aid. If you are angry and feel helpless about Israels attrocities in Palestine, join the growing ranks of people refusing to buy goods made in Israel. And tell the shopkeeper why.

Carbon(GST) Tax-Australian Business Get Cold Feet

Australian businesses are now getting cold feet over the proposed carbon tax. This is due to the effects of the recession taking a stronger hold on Australian business Causing large amounts of unemployment , especially in the mining industry Representations are now being made to the Prime Minister for consideration Wonder what the result will be?

Israel--Female Psychological Warfare Leader

Israel has a female psychological warfare leader/spokes-person Who doesent know what truth or facts are Who avoids giving answers and just spews out Israelie psychological warfare propaganda like Goebels, maybe even better Couldnt expect much else realy

Israel--Thinks It Is Over--World Ban Gains Momentum

By withdrawing its invasion force from Palestine Israel believes its troubles are less. People who are disgusted and angry at Israels extermination policy are now finding they are not helpless to do anything about it People are now refusing to buy Israeli goods and also tell the shopkeepers why This action by people opposed to Israel, is expanding fast, and will send a very effective message to Israel and its leaders and its extermination policy in Palestine Join in if you would like to support the brave Palestinian people

At age 17 he was recruiting others in the surrounding villages and at 21 he was commanding a gang of 12 guerrillas. Ismael's commander dared his gang to massacre a group of civilians. Ismael complied. He was promoted and sent for further training in explosives and kidnapping. 'I kidnapped many people, including foreigners,' Ismael said. Saul of Tarsus, Ismael learned to hate Christians. During one attack, Ismael stopped a bus filled with passengers, they were ordered out of the bus. One elderly woman was told to leave and the remaining 26 were told to kneel with their hands behind their backs so the guerrillas could tie them up. Amidst the pleas of the frightened victims, a man named Alex began singing. 'I knew they were going to shoot all of us,' Alex said, 'so I began to sing to God. I thought this is how a Christian should meet God with a song.' All 26 passengers were shot. Then Ismael told his men to make sure all the workers were dead. Alex had been shot in the face. Ismael strode up to Alex's limp body and struck his neck with a machete. 'I remained as still as possible,' Alex said, 'but I was bleeding into my throat and could not breathe. I felt bad that I might die and had not shared Jesus with these guerrillas.' Miraculously, Alex survived. He lost one eye and most of his sight in the other. Ismael was eventually arrested and sent to Bella Vista prison to serve a 32-year sentence. 'A man named Weimer was preaching to the imprisoned guerrillas,' Ismael said. 'I began to think of all the people I had hurt, and I began to cry. I said I wanted to accept Christ.' Weimer gave Ismael a New Testament to read. As Ismael studied the Bible he met Alex, a volunteer at the prison, and they became friends. 'Over time, I heard what had happened to Alex and realised I was the one who did this to him. I became very afraid.' Through a veil of tears, Ismael told Alex the truth: he was the one who had hurt him; he had ordered the attack on the bus, and he had personally struck Alex with his machete. 'Could you ever forgive me?' Ismael asked. Alex described how he felt at that moment. 'I held no hard feelings. My greatest joy was that I could teach Ismael forgiveness by example. I thought, 'Wow! I can die happy because Ismael loves the Lord!'' Recently, Ismael spoke on national TV in Colombia asking his former comrades to stop kidnapping and killing. He announced he had found true freedom. Praise God, this former enemy of the Gospel is now a witness for Christ.

USA Aid To Israel

Will President Obama cut off aid to Israel? Both military and economic Will certainly make Israel more manageable to world human standards They wont like it. but rest of world will What is more , countries in the region wont need a nuclear deterant to defend against israel expansion. Like China/Russia/N,Korea/Iran/Iraque etc Will lessen world tension and boiling point

President Obama Good Luck

Good luck to President Obama of the USA May he make the world a safer place

Israel and Arab Oil

One USA radio station has several times mentioned Israel has found large deposits of oil. But did not say where With the continued Israeli expansion the world has to consider arab oil under Israel control This would be a powerfull weapon combined with world financial control and and modern weapon supplies and a nuclear deterant. Israel could hold the world to ransome as it liked or prefered, especialy with its current attitude With USA and her allies support This may be a few yrs away, but is worth consulting Especialy as some Israeli spokesmen in Australia claimed to be fighting defacto for western democracy and civiliseation, which depends alot on oil at the moment

Ancient Giant Worms In West Australia

Ancient Giant Worms in West Australia were reported several years ago One wonders if there was any follow up The area was in Carabooda ,north of Wanneroo townsite A market gardener reported finding one in or near his house on a market garden Thinking it was a 3 metre or more snake ,he killed it Apparently neighbours told him they were quite common in the area, and were larger Which is over an ancient river bed And suggested he keep quiet about it, else the goverment may put a conservation order over the whole area, and goodbye to market gardens, which were marked out for housing developement anyway So much for conservation and preservation of the environment

Unseen War Rumours-Weather

There are rumours in scientific /intelligence circles that some countries are experimenting in controlling and directing the weather/climate. This would make australia's attempt at carbon tax trading and climate control rather useless. I wonder if this theory and practice has been incorpporated into the goverments policy?

Tasmania-New Species Found

Israeli War Cabinet War Criminals-Gutless

According to msn 9 news Israel war cabinet has announced a cease fire in occupied Palestine. According to Israel its because their targets have been achieved What they mean is the new USA govt wont support their war crimes, like G W Bush and supporters ,have, in the past. This is what i previously mentioned Israel have no idea of the revenge that will be placed upon them The gutles war cabinet criminals that approves the murder of civillians will be safe in their underground bunker or escape overseas.lets hope they will be hunted down, just like Israel hunted down the Nazi war criminals. Israel seems to have learnt well from Nazi tactics. Like the destruction of the ghetto's etc. If the Israeli war cabinet dont like the Palestinian defence of their country, why dont they get a gun each and go and fight the Palestinian leadership and settle the score etc. The same goes for Israeli supporters. As for Arabs sitting by watching, they can see whats in store for them, once Palestine is gobbled up by Israel. One can truly say, Satan is alive and well in Israel and USA and their supporters.

Israel Murder-As It Was Then-Is NOW

The Hidden History of Zionism By Ralph Schoenman Chapter 4 Tragic Consequences 3. Colonizing Palestine | 5. Seizure of the Land In 1947, there were 630,000 Jews and 1,300,000 Palestinian Arabs. Thus, by the time of the United Nations partition of Palestine in 1947, the Jews were 31% of the population. [38] The decision to partition Palestine, promoted by the leading imperialist powers and Stalin’s Soviet Union, gave 54% of the fertile land to the Zionist movement. But before the state of Israel was established, the Irgun and Haganah seized three-quarters of the land and expelled virtually all the inhabitants. In 1948, there were 475 Palestinian villages and towns. Of these, 385 were razed to the ground, reduced to rubble. Ninety remain, stripped of their land. Removing the Mask In 1940, Joseph Weitz, the head of the Jewish Agency’s Colonization Department, which was responsible for the actual organization of settlements in Palestine, wrote: Between ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both peoples together in this country. We shall not achieve our goal if the Arabs are in this small country. There is no other way than to transfer the Arabs from here to neighboring countries - all of them. Not one village, not one tribe should be left. [39] Joseph Weitz elaborated upon the practical meaning of rendering Palestine “Jewish”: There are some who believe that the non-Jewish population, even in a high percentage, within our borders will be more effectively under our surveillance; and there are some who believe the contrary, i.e., that it is easier to carry out surveillance over the activities of a neighbor than over those of a tenant. [I] tend to support the latter view and have an additional argument: ... the need to sustain the character of the state which will henceforth be Jewish ... with a non-Jewish minority limited to fifteen percent. I had already reached this fundamental position as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary. [40] The Koenig Report stated this policy even more bluntly: We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population. [41] Chairman Heilbrun of the Committee for the Re-election of General Shlomo Lahat, the mayor of Tel Aviv, declaimed: “We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves.” [42] These are the words of Uri Lubrani, Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion’s special adviser on Arab Affairs, in 1960: “We shall reduce the Arab population to a community of woodcutters and waiters.” [43] Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Armed Forces stated: We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel ... Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours. [44] Eitan elaborated before the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee: When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do will be to scurry around like drugged roaches in a bottle. [45] Ben Gurion and the Final Aim The territorial ambitions of Zionism were clearly spelled out by David Ben Gurion in a speech to a Zionist meeting on October 13, 1936: “We do not suggest that we announce now our final aim which is far reaching – even more so than the Revisionists who oppose Partition. I am unwilling to abandon the great vision, the final vision which is an organic, spiritual and ideological component of my ... Zionist aspirations.” [46] In the same year, Ben Gurion wrote in a letter to his son: A partial Jewish State is not the end, but only the beginning. I am certain that we can not be prevented from settling in the other parts of the country and the region. In 1937, he declaimed: “The boundaries of Zionist aspirations are the concern of the Jewish people and no external factor will be able to limit them.” [47] In 1938, he was more explicit: “The boundaries of Zionist aspiration,” he told the World Council of Poale Zion in Tel Aviv, “include southern Lebanon, southern Syria, today’s Jordan, all of Cis-Jordan [West Bank] and the Sinai.” [48] Ben Gurion formulated Zionist strategy very clearly: After we become a strong force as the result of the creation of the state, we shall abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine. The state will only be a stage in the realization of Zionism and its task is to prepare the ground for our expansion. The state will have to preserve order – not by preaching but with machine guns. [49] In May of 1948 he presented his strategic aims to the General Staff. “We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria, and Sinai.” [50] When General Yigal Allon asked Ben Gurion, “What is to be done with the population of Lydda and Ramle?” – some 50,000 inhabitants – Ben Gurion, according to his biographer, waved his hand and said, “Drive them out!” [51] Yitzhak Rabin, the current Defense Minister, carried out this edict. In Lydda and Ramle, no remnants of Palestinian dwellings remain. Today this area is occupied entirely by the Jewish settler population. Michael Bar Zohar, in his biography of David Ben Gurion, describes Ben Gurion’s first visit to Nazareth. &#+8220;Ben Gurion looked around in astonishment and said, ’Why are there so many Arabs, why didn’t you drive them out?’” The Palestinians were indeed driven out. Between November 29, 1947, when the United Nations partitioned Palestine, and May 15, 1948, when the State was formally proclaimed, the Zionist army and militia had seized 75% of Palestine, forcing 780,000 Palestinians out of the country. The Butchery Begins: Deir Yasin The process was one of sustained slaughter as village after village was wiped out. The killing was intended to cause people to flee for their lives. The commander of the Haganah, Zvi Ankori, described what happened: “I saw cut off genitalia and women’s crushed stomachs ... It was direct murder.” [52] Menachem Begin gloated over the impact throughout Palestine of the Nazi-like operations he commanded at Deir Yasin. Lehi and IZL Commandos stormed the village of Deir Yasin on April 9, 1948, slaughtering 254 men, women and children. A legend of terror spread amongst Arabs who were seized with panic at the mention of our Irgun soldiers. It was worth half a dozen battalions to the forces of Israel. Arabs throughout the country ... were seized with limitless panic and started to flee for their lives. This mass flight soon developed into a maddened, uncontrollable stampede. Of the 800,000 Arabs who lived on the present territory of the state of Israel, only some 165,000 are still there. The political and economic significance of this development can hardly be overestimated. [53 The implementation of this program was carried out in part by Menachem Begin and in part by his future successor as Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, as military commanders of the Irgun and the Lohamei Herut Israel (Lehi), i.e., Fighters for the Freedom of Israel. Inhabitants were force marched in blood-soaked clothing through the streets of Jerusalem to jeering on-lookers, before disappearing. Eyewitness Accounts The eyewitness accounts of these events foreshadowed the fate of the Palestinian people. It was noon when the battle ended and the shooting stopped. Things had become quiet, but the village had not surrendered. The IZL (Irgun) and Lehi (Stern Gang) irregulars left the places in which they had been hiding and started carrying out clean-up operations in the houses. They fired with all the arms they had, and threw explosives into the buildings. They also shot everyone they saw in the houses, including women and children – indeed the commanders made no attempt to check the disgraceful acts of slaughter. I myself and a number of inhabitants begged the commanders to give orders to their men to stop shooting, but our efforts were unsuccessful. In the meantime, some twenty-five men had been brought out of the houses: they were loaded into a freight truck and led in a ’victory parade,’ like a Roman triumph, through to Mahaneh Yehudah and Zikhron Yosef quarters [of Jerusalem]. At the end of the parade they were taken to a stone quarry between Giv’at Shaul and Deir Yasin and shot in cold blood. The fighters then put the women and children who were still alive on a truck and took them to the Mandelbaum Gate. [54] The director of the International Red Cross in Palestine, Jacques de Reynier, attempted to intervene as word of the slaughter spread. His personal testimony is as follows: ... The Commander of the Irgun detachment did not seem willing to receive me. At last he arrived, young, distinguished, and perfectly correct, but there was a peculiar glitter in his eyes, cold and cruel. According to him the Irgun had arrived twenty-four hours earlier and ordered the inhabitants by loudspeaker to evacuate all houses and surrender: the time given to obey the order was a quarter of an hour. Some of these miserable people had come forward and were taken prisoner, to be released later in the direction of the Arab lines. The rest, not having obeyed the order, had met the fate they deserved. But there was no point in exaggerating things, there were only a few dead, and they would be buried as soon as the “clean-up” of the village was over. If I found any bodies, I could take them, but there were certainly no wounded. This account made my blood run cold. I went back to the Jerusalem road and got an ambulance and a truck that I had alerted through the Red Shield ... I reached the village with my convoy, and the firing stopped. The gang (Irgun) was wearing uniforms with helmets. All of them were young, some even adolescents, men and women, armed to the teeth: revolvers, machine-guns, hand grenades, and also cutlasses in their hands, most of them still blood-stained. A beautiful young girl with criminal eyes showed me hers, still dripping with blood; she displayed it like a trophy. This was the “clean-up” team, that was obviously performing its task very conscientiously. I tried to go into a house. A dozen soldiers surrounded me, their machine-guns aimed at my body, and their officer forbade me to move. The dead, if any, would be brought to me, he said. I then flew into one of the most towering rages of my life, telling these criminals what I thought of their conduct, threatening them with everything I could think of, and then pushed them aside and went into the house. The first room was dark, everything was in disorder, but there was no one. In the second, amid disembowelled furniture and all sorts of debris, I found some bodies, cold. Here the “clean-up” had been done with machine guns, then hand grenades. It had been finished off with knives, anyone could see that. The same thing in the next room, but as I was about to leave, I heard something like a sigh. I looked everywhere, turned over all the bodies, and eventually found a little foot, still warm. It was a little girl of ten, mutilated by a hand grenade, but still alive ... everywhere it was the same horrible sight ... there had been four hundred people in this village; about fifty of them had escaped and were still alive. All the rest had been deliberately massacred in cold blood for, as I observed for myself, this gang was admirably disciplined and only acted under orders. After another visit to Deir Yasin I went back to my office where I was visited by two gentlemen, well-dressed in civilian clothes, who had been waiting for me for more than an hour. They were the commander of the Irgun detachment and his aide. They had prepared a paper which they wanted me to sign. It was a statement to the effect that I had been very courteously received by them, and obtained all the facilities I had requested, in the accomplishment of my mission, and thanking them for the help I had received. As I showed signs of hesitation and even started to argue with them, they said that if I valued my life, I had better sign immediately. The only course open to me was to convince them that I did not value my life in the least. [55] The Slaughter at Dueima If the Deir Yasin massacre was carried out by the “rightist” Revisionist Zionist underground organizations, IZL and Lehi, like massacres occurred on a similar scale throughout the country. The massacre at Dueima in 1948 was perpetrated by the official Labor Zionist Israeli army, the Israel Defense Forces (Tzeva Haganah le-Israel or ZAHAL). The account of the massacre, as described by a soldier who participated in the horror, was published in Davar, the official Hebrew daily newspaper of the Labor-Zionist-run Histadrut General Federation of Workers: ... They killed between eighty to one hundred Arab men, women and children. To kill the children they [soldiers] fractured their heads with sticks. There was not one home without corpses. The men and women of the villages were pushed into houses without food or water. Then the saboteurs came to dynamite them. One commander ordered a soldier to bring two women into a building he was about to blow up ... Another soldier prided himself upon having raped an Arab woman before shooting her to death. Another Arab woman with her newborn baby was made to clean the place for a couple of days, and then they shot her and the baby. Educated and well-mannered commanders who were considered “good guys” ... became base murderers, and this not in the storm of battle, but as a method of expulsion and extermination. The fewer the Arabs who remain, the better. [56] The strategic value of the Deir Yasin massacre would be propounded widely over the years by Zionist leaders such as Eldad [Scheib] who, with Yitzhak Shamir and Nathan Yalin-Mor [Feldman], were in charge of Lehi. Speaking at a meeting in July 1967, his remarks were published in the well-known journal of opinion, De’ot, in Winter 1968: I have always said that if the deepest and profoundest hope symbolizing redemption is the rebuilding of the [Jewish] Temple ... then it is obvious that those mosques [al-Haram al-Sharif and al-Aqsa] will have, one way or another, to disappear one of these days ... Had it not been for Deir Yasin, half a million Arabs would be living in the state of Israel [in 1948]. The state of Israel would not have existed. We must not disregard this, with full awareness of the responsibility involved. All wars are cruel. There is no way out of that. This country will either be Eretz Israel with an absolute Jewish majority and a small Arab minority, or Eretz Ishmael, and Jewish emigration will begin again if we do not expel the Arabs one way or another. [57] Murder in Gaza The program of massacre did not end with the formation of the state. Meir Har Tzion’s diary describes the massacres in the refugee camps and villages of Gaza during the early 1950s: The wide, dry riverbed glitters in the moonlight. We advance, carefully, along the mountain slope. Several houses can be seen ... In the distance we can see three lights and hear the sounds of Arab music coming out of the homes immersed in darkness. We split up into three groups of four men each. Two groups make their way to the immense refugee camp (Al Burj) to the south of our position. The other group marches toward the lonely house in the flat area north of Wadi Gaza. We march forward, trampling over green fields, wading through water canals as the moon bathes us in its scintillating light. Soon, however, the silence will be shattered by bullets, explosions, and the screams of those who are now sleeping peacefully. We advance quickly and enter one of the houses - “Mann Haatha?” [Arabic for “Who’s there?”] We leap towards the voices. Fearing and trembling, two Arabs are standing up against the wall of the building. They try to escape. I open fire. An ear-piercing scream fills the air. One man falls to the ground while his friend continues to run. Now we must act – we have no time to lose. We make our way from house to house as the Arabs scramble about in confusion. Machine guns rattle, their noise mixed with a terrible howling. We reach the main thoroughfare of the camp. The mob of fleeing Arabs grows larger. The other group attacks from the opposite direction. The thunder of our hand-grenades echoes in the distance. We receive an order to retreat. The attack has come to an end. [58] Kibya and Commando Unit 101 Prime Minister Moshe Sharett (1954-55) gave the following account of the massacre at the village of Kibya in 1953 (October 18, 1953). Ariel Sharon personally commanded the action in which men, women and children were slaughtered in their homes. [In the cabinet meeting] I condemned the Kibya Affair that exposed us in front of the whole world as a gang of blood-suckers capable of massacres ... I warned that this stain will stick to us and will not be washed away for years to come. It was decided that a communique on Kibya will be published and Ben Gurion was to write it. It is really a shameful deed. I inquired several times and each time I was solemnly assured that people would not find out how it had been done. [59] Sharett noted in his Diary details of further massacres in Palestinian villages in 1955: “Public opinion, the army and the police have concluded that Arab blood can be freely shed. It must make the state appear in the eyes of the world as a savage state.” [60] Kafr Qasim: The Slaughter Continues The massacre at Kafr Qasim followed the Zionist pattern. In October 1956, Israeli Brigadier Shadmi, the commander of a battalion on the Israeli-Jordanian border, ordered a night curfew imposed on the “minority” [Arab] villages under his command. These villages were inside the Israeli borders; thus, their inhabitants were Israeli citizens. Shadmi told the commander of a Frontier Guard unit, Major Melinki, that the curfew must be “extremely strict” and that “it would not be enough to arrest those who broke it – they must be shot.” He added: A dead man is better than the complications of detention. [61] He [Melinki] informed the assembled officers that ... their task was to impose the curfew in the minority villages from 1700 to 0600 [5 p.m. to 6 a.m.] ... Anyone leaving his home, or anyone breaking the curfew should be shot dead. He added that there were to be no arrests and that if a number of people were killed in the night this would facilitate the imposition of the curfew during succeeding nights. Lieutenant Frankanthal asked him: “What do we do with the wounded?” Melinki replied: “Take no notice of them.” A section leader, then asked: “What about women and children?” to which Melinki replied: “No sentimentality.” When asked: “What about people returning from their work?” Melinki answered: “It will be just too bad for them, as the Commander said.” The perpetrators of the Kafr Qasim massacre – a commando unit of Ariel Sharon-Commando Unit 101 – were all rewarded with medals and with promotions in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The genocidal methods needed to impose the colonial settler state within the pre-1967 borders of Israel are regarded as the model for dealing ultimately with the Palestinians in the post-1967 occupied territories. Aharon Yariv, former military intelligence chief and Minister of Information, stated at a public seminar in the Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem that: There are opinions which advocate that a war situation be utilized in order to exile 700,000 to 800,000 Arabs. These opinions are widespread. Statements have been voiced on the matter and also instruments [apparatuses] have been prepared. [62] Notes 38. Hadawi, pp.43-44. 39.

Israel Terror-Truth Comes Out

REDS – Die Roten > Middle East > Israel/Palestine > Hidden History Ralph Schoenman The Hidden History of Zionism Preface The Uprising Acknowledgements | 1. Four Myths With anger, hatred, and sheer ferocity, thousands of youngsters hurled rocks at their Israeli occupiers, undaunted by the gunfire that greeted them. This was more than civil unrest. ...It was the beginning of a civil rebellion. [l] This is how Jerusalem Post correspondent Hirsh Goodman described the uprising of Palestinian youth in the West Bank and Gaza in mid-December 1987. Goodman’s remarks were written the day before the December 21, 1987, general strike which engulfed every Palestinian community under Israeli rule. The strike was described by the Israeli daily, Ha’aretz, as “writing on our wall even more serious than the bloody riots of the last two weeks.” [2] On that day, – wrote John Kifner in The New York Times, – the vast army of Arab laborers who wait on tables, pick vegetables, haul garbage, lay brick and perform virtually all Israel’s menial work, stayed home. [3] The Israeli response to the uprising was brutal. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin ordered the use of tanks, armored vehicles and automatic rifles against an unarmed population. The San Francisco Examiner cited Rabin as openly advocating assassination. “They can shoot to hit leaders of disorder,” Rabin said in defense of the army’s practice of using marksmen with high-powered .22-caliber rifles to shoot indiscriminately at Palestinian youth. [4] Rabin ordered house-to-house searches, first for young men and later for anyone of whom an example might be made. By December 27, over 2,500 Palestinians were seized, many of them as young as twelve; by the end of January the number reached 4,000 and was rising. [5] The “militants ”were marked for deportation. Israeli high-security jails and detention centers were overflowing. Mass trials of Palestinians were underway. The act of brutality which most inflamed the Palestinian population was the army seizure of the wounded from hospital beds. This practice, standard procedure throughout the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, made Shifa Hospital in Gaza a center of resistance. Great crowds amassed to defend the wounded, whom, they rightfully feared, would never be seen again. The youngsters in Gaza and the West Bank where riots erupted, – wrote Jerusalem Post correspondent Hirsh Goodman – have not received any terrorist training, nor are they members of a terrorist organization. Rather they are members of that Palestinian generation that grew up knowing nothing but occupation. [6] A mother of a Palestinian man shot three times in the head by Israeli soldiers was asked if she would let her remaining sons join the demonstrations. “ As long as I am alive, ”she responded, “I am going to teach the young people to fight ... I don’t care whatever happens, as long as we get our land.” [7] Rashad Shawa’a, deposed Mayor of Gaza, expressed the same sentiment: The youth have lost hope that Israel will ever give them their rights. They feel the Arab countries are unable to accomplish anything. They feel that the Palestine Liberation Organization (P.L.O.) has failed to achieve a thing. [8] Los Angeles Times correspondent Dan Fisher’s account is even more significant: This new-found sense of unity has been one of the most striking changes to foreign observers and non-Gaza Palestinians ... It is a phenomenon that extends to previous divisions between young and old and between those who work in Israel and those who do not. [9] Force, Might, Beatings As the uprising intensified, the Israeli cabinet and Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin implemented “collective punishment, ”a tactic characteristic of the Nazi occupation of France, Denmark and Yugoslavia. Food, water and medicine were prevented from reaching Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza and the West Bank. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (U.N.R.W.A.) personnel reported that children seeking powdered milk at U.N. depots were shot at and beaten with sticks. The Casbah, where over half of the 125,000 inhabitants of Nablus live, has been sealed off by concrete barricades and iron gates. Qabatiya and the nearby refugee camp at Jenin were placed under siege. At the time of writing, the siege, which has cut off all food, water, fuel and electricity, has lasted fifty-five days. A Jerusalem Post analyst explained the policies of Rabin: The first priority is to use force, might, beatings. [This] is considered more effective than detention ... [because] he may then resume stoning soldiers. But if troops break his hand, he won’t be able to throw stones. [10] By the next day, the news media were reporting the most bestial beatings by soldiers throughout the West Bank and Gaza. The account by John Kifner was compelling: NABLUS, Israeli Occupied West Bank, January 22: Both hands encased in plaster casts, Imad Omar Abu Rub explained from his bed in the Rafidiya Hospital what happened when the Israeli Army came to the Palestinian village of Qabatiya. “They entered the house like animals, shouting,” the 22-year old student at Bir Zeit University said. “They took us from the house, kicking us in the head, beating us, all the soldiers with their rifle butts.” Then he was taken to the construction site of an unfinished house where, he said, the soldiers put an empty bucket over his head. Several of the soldiers held him down, he said, gripping his arms to force his hands against a rock. Two others, he said, beat his hands with lengths of two-by-fours, breaking the bones. The injuries are the product of a new officially declared policy of the Israeli Army and the police to beat up Palestinians in hopes of ending the wave of protests in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip that began in early December. At least thirty-eight Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire in the protests. In the bed next to Mr. Abu Rub’s, Hassan Arif Kemal, a 17-year old high school student from Qabatiya, told a nearly identical story. [11] Labor and Likud leaders responded with one voice to world-wide outcry over these practices. President Chaim Herzog declared: “The alternative facing us today ... is between suppressing these riots or allowing them to develop into a new Teheran or Beirut.” [12] John Kifner reported in The New York Times: Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin continued to defend the policy, with both men saying publicly that the purpose of the beatings was to instill fear of the Israeli army in Palestinians. Shamir stated that events had “shattered the barrier of fear ... Our task is to recreate that barrier and once again put the fear of death into the Arabs of the areas” He concluded that the uprising would never have taken place “had the troops used firearms from the very first moment.” [13] Palestinian Resistance Grows The rebellion of the Palestinian people of the West Bank and Gaza has engulfed every village, town and refugee camp. Children as young as eight and old people in their seventies and eighties defy the Israeli army daily. Entire village populations, waving makeshift Palestinian flags of bedsheets and cloth, mass defiantly, singing and chanting and hurling stones at soldiers firing automatic weapons. The Great Uprising – the “Intifadeh” �� has become a symbol of Palestinian nationhood as the brutal repression that once filled the people with despair now fuels their determination and will, which encompasses the readiness to die. The Israeli reprisals have been barbarous. The repression has been unleashed with particular savagery against the refugee camps and the old quarters of the cities inhabited by the impoverished. By April 1988 over 150 Palestinians had died. The Israeli government had admitted to the arrest of 2,000 people, bringing the acknowledged total to 4,000. The real figure was far higher. Sources in the West Bank and Gaza established that the number detained by the weekend of March 27 had exceeded 13,000. Bassam Shaka’a, deposed Mayor of Nablus, placed the total held solely in a hastily constructed barbed-wire encampment at Dhariyah at 10,000. In the Balata camp outside Nablus, and in the Casbah – the old quarter – l,000 people were arrested in a period of 48 hours. The discovery of people in ditches in the fields – shot in the back or with their heads caved in – has been reported from villages throughout the West Bank and Gaza. Bassam Shaka’a described the rampage of the Israeli armed units: No matter which house one calls, the anguished accounts of family members wounded or arrested pour forth. Convoys of buses cruise the streets of Nablus followed by vans of the Mossad, Israel’s secret police. Army units go from house to house pulling youths from their beds at 3 a.m. As the buses fill, the soldiers beat the youths viciously around the head, shins, groin and back. Shrieks fill the air. As the army makes its rounds kidnapping the young from their homes, people gather at their windows and on the roofs of houses shouting in unison, “Falistin Arabia, Thawra Hatta al Nas’r, Allah Akbar” [Arab Palestine, Revolution Until Victory, God is Great]. [13a] Bassam Shaka’a described the attempts by the Israeli army to spread panic and terror in Nablus and outlying villages: Fleets of helicopters fly over Nablus at night dropping a dense, green toxic gas over the city. The smell pervades every house. Armed units fire canisters of the substance into houses at random. Doctors at Ittihad Hospital reported several deaths and severe lung injuries from this as-yet unidentified asphyxiating chemical, totally distinct from tear gas. Among the victims were the grandmother of the Da’as family and the 100-year-old father of noted Nablus attorney Mohammad Irshaid. Soldiers had entered the house at 2 a.m., smashing furniture and firing a canister of the dreaded green gas while preventing the family from leaving. Two of the children, ages 9 and 11, were taken by the soldiers in their night clothes, frog-marched in the streets and beaten as they were forced by the jeering soldiers to clear debris. Simultaneously, the Israeli army targeted the hospitals. Army trucks rammed ambulances and blocked them from reaching the homes of those overcome by the gas. Soldiers entered the Ittihad Hospital in Nablus numerous times, arresting the wounded and those waiting to give blood to family members. Even the operating theater was invaded while surgeons were operating on patients. Doctors were beaten and equipment smashed. Family members were prevented from entering the hospital and the cars of doctors and nurses were destroyed by soldiers. Meanwhile, all of Nablus was paralyzed by a total strike. All the streets in every quarter of the city were without open shops or business activity. As gas permeated the city, cries and chants filled the night. Gas canisters recovered by Bassam Shaka’a, Yousef al-Masri [chief of Ittihad Hospital] and American author Alfred Lilienthal bear the markings “560 cs. Federal Lab. Saltsburg, Pa. USA MK2 1988.” Biochemists are studying their properties as casualties mount. John Kifner reported on April 4 that “Hundreds of refugees were treated in United Nations clinics for gas inhalation.” On April 15, Kifner wrote, “...gas has been thrown inside homes, clinics and schools where the effects are particularly severe.” [13b] His report was the first, after four months of the use of such chemical weapons, to acknowledge the fact: Agency doctors have seen symptoms not normally connected with tear gas, and U.N.R.W.A. is seeking information on the contents of the gas ... to provide antidote ... especially for the most vulnerable groups ... pregnant women, the very young and elderly. Kifner later reported, “Warnings on the canisters say the contents can be lethal.” Throughout the West Bank and Gaza, cases of miscarriages, vaginal bleeding and asphyxiation were occurring after the use of the gas. A Glimpse of the Savagery One of the most vicious incidents occurred in the town of Qalqiya. Soldiers entered the house of workers and poured gasoline over them, setting them alight. Six workers were covered in flames. Four of the victims managed to rush out of the building and rolled on the ground, ripping off their clothes. Two were severely burned and are in critical condition. On February 20, two youths were arrested in Khan Yunis, beaten savagely and taken to the beach where they were buried alive under the sand. After the soldiers left, villagers managed to dig them out. Reports in the establishment press give a glimpse of the scale of Israeli brutality. A soldier’s account reported in the Israeli newspaper Hadashot was cited in Newsweek: We got orders to knock on every door, enter and take out all the males. The younger ones we lined up with their faces against the wall, and soldiers beat them with billy-clubs. This was no private initiative. These were the orders from our company commander. [13c] The accounts make clear that Israeli protestations about excesses of individual soldiers are transparently false. Newsweek revealed: Armed with 30-inch wooden clubs and urged by their prime minister to “put the fear back into the Arabs”, Israeli soldiers have methodically beaten up Palestinians since early January, deliberately breaking bones and beating prisoners into unconsciousness. Casualties included not only young men ... but also women. Most of the injured shunned hospitals for fear of arrest. The avoidance of hospitals by the injured has prevented accurate reporting of the vast scale of the savage beatings and of the deaths of those who endured them. But an indication was provided in the reports of the medical team inspecting the wounded in the hospitals in early February 1988. Dr. Jennifer Leaning, a faculty member of Harvard Medical School and a trauma specialist, reported her findings: “There is a systematic pattern of limb injury that is clearly organized to cause fractures ... a consistent pattern of bonebreaks across the back of the hand and in the middle of the forearm that ... come from holding the hand or arm in place and applying a strong blow to the bone.” [13d] Dr. Leaning and the team of Physicians for Human Rights traveled throughout the West Bank and Gaza. They concluded, “It is a pattern that is controlled. A systematic pattern over a wide geographical area. It is as if they have been instructed.” Dr. Leaning’s account of the new patients brought to Shifa Hospital in Gaza is compelling: They looked like they had been mauled. What is impressive is the number of fractures per patient. These patients look as if they had been put through a washing-machine wringer. They would have had to hold them down and just keep beating them. Repeated instances of young males shot deliberately through the testicles were reported in Shifa Hospital in Gaza and Makassad Hospital in East Jerusalem. Soldiers poured boiling water over a 2-year-old infant, rendering her catatonic. “Quelling the Protests” New York Times correspondent John Kifner called the systematic roundups “part of a series of tough new measures, including economic sanctions and collective punishment, that the Israeli army and other officials are imposing in hopes of quelling the protests, which have grown into an increasingly organized Palestinian mass movement in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.” [13e] The army’s new orders allow detention without any specific charge or trials, even in military courts. Moreover, according to the March 23 New York Times, “the new procedures do away with judicial review of the administrative detention sentences and allow local commanders to order the arrests.” Immediately after the order, people were seized overnight in more than a dozen refugee districts, villages and towns in the West Bank and Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin announced that Israeli civilians have the same authority as soldiers to shoot. He added that soldiers need not fire warning shots before shooting Palestinians. [13f] Newsweek was more explicit: “The decree meant Israeli soldiers could shoot to kill Palestinian youths ... Yitzhak Rabin [was] effectively deputizing settlers.” [13g] The decision, according to Newsweek, would “open the floodgates of the 60,000 settlers’ pent-up frustration [sic].” It was not long before an attack occurred. On April 6, settlers engaging in a clear provocation shot in cold blood a Palestinian working in his field outside the village of Beita. Attention, however, focused on the death of Tirza Porat, a 15-year-old settler girl among the group. The settlers reported Tirza Porat had been stoned to death by the Palestinian villagers, but an army autopsy report revealed she had been shot in the head by the Kahane follower acting as her nominal guard. [Rabbi Meir Kahane is the founder of the Jewish Defense League.] Despite the autopsy report, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir used the occasion to vow that Palestinians “would be crushed like grasshoppers ... heads smashed against the boulders and walls.” [13h] In Beita village, the scene of the incident, thirty houses were blown up. The number of houses destroyed was confirmed by Hamdi Faraj, a noted Palestinian journalist. Forms of Self-Government Emerge The recent Palestinian uprising has done more to challenge Israeli control than had been achieved in twenty years. The entire infrastructure of Israeli rule has unraveled. Spies are asking forgiveness, confessing their deeds and exposing the apparatus of control. Police are resigning. The Village Leagues, Israeli organizations of collaborators, have collapsed. The Los Angeles Times reports that challenges by the “Unified National Leadership of the Uprising” have led to resignations by municipal, village, and town councils. Before the uprising, 20,000 Palestinians worked under Israeli army and police control, providing services to the West Bank and Gaza. They were teachers, clerks and administrators. Most have resigned. Increasingly, forms of self-government are emerging in the West Bank and Gaza. The Israelis close the schools; the resistance organizes classes. The Israelis order shops to open; the resistance keeps them closed. The Israelis close the shops; the resistance opens them. The West Bank and Gaza are trapped in what Newsweek calls a “colonial setup”. Newsweek cites Israeli demographer Meron Benvenisti, the former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, as follows: “The Occupied Territories became a source of cheap labor and a captive market for Israeli goods.” [13i] Israel’s trade surplus with the West Bank and Gaza, Benvenisti reveals, is $500 million a year. The government takes a further $80 million a year in taxes above what it provides in meager social services. The territories import $780 million a year of Israeli goods at high prices. But the uprising has changed everything. Newsweek states: The Palestinians have some economic weapons of their own. Thousands of Arab workers had long since walked away from jobs at Israeli farms, factories and construction sites. Palestinian shoppers cut back their purchases of Israeli goods. Arab merchants and self-employed professionals struck a more direct blow at the occupation; they refused to pay Israeli income and commercial taxes. Thus, as Newsweek acknowledges, the economic sword cut in two directions. Israel’s construction industry, which drew 42% of its workforce from the Occupied Territories “has been hobbled by Arab walkouts”. Hotels in Jerusalem report a sharp drop in spring bookings. Israeli Economic Minister Gad Yaacobi estimated that the first three months of “rioting” cost Israel’s economy “at least $300 million ” – 10% of U.S. aid for a full year. “Liberated Zones” No respite can be expected for Israel. The villages in the West Bank and Gaza have responded defiantly to Israel’s barbaric onslaught, declaring themselves “liberated zones”, barricading their streets, and flying the Palestinian flag. Newsweek reports: “Their protests are adroitly coordinated through leaflets issued by the shadowy Unified National Command of the Uprising. Their leaflets are the law of the land.” [13j] Despite the massive repression, Palestinian spirits have never been higher. This spirit is perhaps the factor of greatest concern to the Israeli state. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir told Israeli television: The people who are throwing stones, the inciters, the leaders, they are today in a situation of euphoria, of great enthusiasm. They think that they are the victors. Middle East editor of the Jerusalem Post Yehudi Litani reported that “[Israeli] security forces estimate the army has now detained the majority of those now pulling the strings of the uprising” – and yet the uprising continues, the leaflets continue to appear, and a mood approaching panic is settling in among Israeli leaders. On March 30, Land Day – the day Palestinians inside pre-1967 Israel protest the confiscation of their land – a general strike of Palestinians inside the pre-1967 borders was called. This action renewed a general strike in support of the uprising which was first held on December 21, 1987. The Unified National Leadership of the Uprising in the Occupied Territories called for “huge demonstrations against the army and settlers” to coincide with the general strike. For the first time since 1948, Palestinians throughout Lebanon – joined by Lebanese in Sidon, Beirut and other cities – also staged their own demonstrations and general strike in solidarity with the uprising. The uprising has galvanized not only the Israeli Arabs, but the Palestinians in the Diaspora. The participation of the Palestinians of Lebanon and of thousands of Lebanese themselves was felt throughout the Arab world. This new phase of the Palestinian revolution was not lost on the Israeli authorities. In an attempt to counter coordination between the Palestinians inside the “Green Line” [pre-1967 borders] and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, the Israelis completely “sealed off’ the West Bank and Gaza. “Since Intifadeh [Uprising] is taking place both in the West Bank and in Israel,” [emphasis added] a senior military source said, “we decided to separate the two and to prevent large-scale public disorder.” [13k] “We want to signal very clearly that we are not going to hesitate to use whatever measures are necessary,” Defense Minister Rabin said. Ariel Sharon, former Defense Minister and current Trade Minister, announced that the uprising “would lead inevitably to war with the Arab states and the necessary expulsion of the Arabs from the West Bank, Gaza and the Galilee.” [13l] But the Palestinians, entering their 40th year of occupation since the founding of the Israeli state, have not been deterred. The “revolutionary war” of the Palestinian people is recruiting the hearts and minds of youth in every Arab country and in capitals across the world. This spirit was fully captured in a letter written by members of the Palestinian underground resistance in the Israeli-occupied West Bank to a rally in Paris, France, on March 3, 1988, organized by an ad-hoc committee of supporters of Palestinian human rights. Their letter states in part: Dear friends, We send you this letter from inside our beloved land – Our land of honor, of dignity, courage and defiance – from our Palestine, from Jerusalem, the sacred city. We send you this letter in the name of our people, a patient people who are today standing tall and are waging a struggle unparalleled in our entire history. We want you to know that the Palestinian people have not been defeated. They are alive. They are struggling. They are saying that they will not accept humiliation and submission. The confidence of our people in the legitimacy of their struggle is immense. And our people know that their victory is certain – whatever the sacrifices, whatever the price that must be paid. Today, our people are suffering. They are shedding their blood to win their freedom, dignity, and honor; their right to determine their own destiny; their right to live in their homeland and to build a free, democratic, and sovereign state in all of Palestine. To all free men and women, to all our comrades, we say the following: The Palestinian people have been the victims for many decades of an international plot – of vicious attacks – aimed at exiling them and chasing them from the lands upon which they have lived for centuries. We have been expelled from our lands – lands which have now been settled by foreigners in accordance with the aims of colonialism and imperialism. This settlement has been imposed by the laws of oppression promoted by the Western nations and the Eastern totalitarian regimes. These oppressive laws are also those of international Zionism. We have been subject to terror, assassination and torture. Today, we are deprived of even our most elementary and legitimate rights. “They have wanted to make of us an exiled people, destined permanently to refugee camps. They have wanted to destroy us physically and eliminate us. Through the wars of 1948 and 1967, they carried out the occupation of all of Palestine. But they forgot that by occupying all of Palestine they also unified the entire Palestinian people in their struggle against oppression. That is what is happening today as the children, the elderly, the women and the youth have risen up as one single person, without arms, to face the military machine of Zionism and imperialism – to face the violence of the guns, the clubs, the kidnappings, and the assassinations. Our weapons come from our homeland. They are the stones with which our people have built up a wall to defend their combatants and the Revolution. Dear friends: You should know what is going on in our homeland. Two weeks ago, the forces of occupation buried eight young Palestinians alive after having beaten them savagely and broken their limbs. Four of them were saved by the people; the other four were never found. Three days ago, Israeli military forces dropped three live Palestinian youths from a helicopter flying at a high altitude. One of the youths was only 13 years old. This is what they are currently doing to our people. Dear friends: We want you to know that we reject all so-called solutions and peace projects that some people would like to impose on us through international conferences. We want you to know that we are committed to continuing our revolution until the total liberation of all of Palestine, until the establishment of a democratic and free state in which all free men and women, from wherever they may be, are welcome to live so long as they accept to live with us as equals on our land of Palestine. We are no longer on our knees. We are standing tall. We will not yield. We feel that it is legitimate for us to demand aid and assistance from people throughout the world who are struggling for the freedom of all oppressed peoples. We ask of you not only that you speak out in support of our struggle in your speeches and protests but that you demand that your governments take a clear position in opposition to the repressive and criminal methods of Zionism. We ask for your moral and material support for our Palestinian people, who are struggling to obtain their final victory. The Palestinian people have risen, their yearnings for emancipation stirring the pauperized masses in every country of the Arab East. Reduced to a condition of penury by corrupt, country-selling regimes, the Egyptian, Jordanian and Saudi people have begun to respond to the extraordinary example set for them by the Palestinian people. Perhaps more significantly, a detailed report by Robert S. Greenberger in The Wall Street Journal describes the profound effect of the Intifadeh on the Jewish masses themselves, notably the Arab Jews, or Sephardim. Now nearly 70% of the Jewish population of Israel, their sentiments are shifting. In contrast to rabid Likud [Israel’s ruling party] figures such as Reuvin Rivlin, who declaimed ominously, “I believe God is Jewish. I believe the demographic problem will be solved,” the Sephardic Jews are responding differently: The riots shattered the myth perpetuated by Likud founder Menachem Begin and his successor Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir ... The Sephardim are demanding social services and want to bridge the gap between ideology and practical solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict ... They care more about jobs, housing and education than keeping faith with a territorially inviolate Israel. [13m] Henoch Smith, a U.S. pollster, reflecting on the new “challenge” from the Sephardim, notes: “This year, for the first time, they will account for 51% of voters.” As the letter from the underground attests, the Palestinian people, self-activated and increasingly confident of the power of mass struggle, are demanding “aid and assistance from people throughout the world who are struggling for the freedom of all oppressed peoples.” This message is beginning to reach Israeli Jews. The day is dawning when they too will seek a future free of a Zionist state which has combined subjugation of the Palestinian people with the exploitation of the Jewish poor. This book seeks to uncover the hidden history of Zionism, a movement rooted in the ideology of racist oppression of Jews and colonial subjects alike. It has been written in anticipation of that day when the dedication and fervor of the Palestinian people, so long persecuted and oppressed, will speak to the Jews, recalling to them their own painful history, with a program for a Palestine in which victims, past and present, will create together the Intifadeh of the future and overthrow a state predicated upon oppression, torture, expulsion, expansion and unending war.

Description: This is William Guy Carr's rare and explosive book Pawns in the Game (1958) which tells the TRUE story of international intrigue, romances, corruption, graft, and political assassinations, the like of which has never been written before. It is the story of how different groups or atheistic/materialistic men have played in an international chess tournament to decide which group would win ultimate control of the wealth, natural resources, and manpower of the entire world. It is explained how the game has reached the final stage. The lnternational Communists, and the International Capitalists, (both of whom have totalitarian ambitions) have temporarily joined hands to defeat Christian-democracy. The solution is to end the game the International Conspirators have been playing right now before one or another totalitarian-minded group impose their ideas on the rest of mankind. The story is sensational and shocking, but it is educational because it, is the TRUTH. The author offers practical solutions to problems so many people consider insoluble. The career Canadian naval officer's historical overview, from a firmly Christian standpoint, of how Illuminati and Khazar conspirators have controlled capitalism and revolution from England's 17th-century revolution through the Second World War. A former British Naval officer and an MI5 agent describes the worldwide conspiracy of "Jewish" (read: Zionist) bankers, who employ Communism as the battering ram against Christian states. Includes atrocities of Bolsheviks and of Spanish Communists described. Communism was created and funded by American bankers. Members of the same group were Roosevelt's advisors during World War II. Carr produces enough evidence to make it believable. Hitler then tried to form an alliance with Britain in order to hunt down financiers from that same group. As Germany was the first nation to recover from the great depression, Hitler broke away from the International Bankers and enacted a system of monetary reform. It was successful until the Rothschilds raised trade sanctions against them. Hitler's actions provoked the bankers to the point where they initiated war against him. Carr traced the history of the money lenders from their beginnings through to the formation of the Illuminati by Adam Weishaupt. He also traced the House of Rothschild from their beginnings as the head of the group of Goldsmiths that financed the English Revolution. He explains their involvement in almost every facet of our history. He explains how these things were funded, and by who. He gives detailed analysis of their methods. When a reader finishes the book they understand not only what's happened in the past, but also to see how those same things are being initiated now. Pawns in the Game may be the best piece of literature to start you on the road to the truth regarding the behind the scenes workings of the Illuminati, Freemasonry, and the conspiratorial workings of the Internationalists. Learn the secrets behind the Revolutions, World Wars, money manipulations, and political intrigue that have made victims of us all. This writing is second to none in its step-by-step deciphering of historical events, and its clarification of the mis-information so many of us have been subjected to. Pawns in the Game is the culmination of a lifetime of research and when first printed in 1954 presented one of the earliest postwar accounts of how this international conspiracy works, which tools it uses and how it influences our lives. 200 pages. A must read for everyone. About the Author: At the early age of twelve William Guy Carr was thoroughly indoctrinated into the Bolshevik ideology by two revolutionary missionaries who travelled on the same ship with him out to the Orient in 1907. Unlike many others he didn’t swallow the bait they offered him ‘Hook, Line, and Sinker’. He decided to keep an open mind, and to investigate matters thoroughly, before reaching any conclusions. His investigations and studies of all angles of the International Conspiracy have taken him to nearly every country in the world. Commander Carr has had a distinguished naval career. During World War One he served as Navigating Officer of H.M. Submarines. In World War Two he was Naval Control Officer for the St. Lawrence; then Staff Officer Operations at Shelbourne, N. S.; then Senior Naval Officer at Goose Bay, Labrador. As an Officer on the staff of Commodore Reginald Brock he organized the 7th Victory Loan for the twenty-two Royal Canadian Naval Training Divisions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- XHTML | CSS | Mininova toolbar | LightTPD | Symbaloo Copyright 2008 Mininova.
