Wiping Palestine Off the Map


We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”

– David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.

“(The Palestinians) would be crushed like grasshoppers … heads smashed against the boulders and walls.”

“[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs.”

– Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, “Begin and the ‘Beasts,”‘ New Statesman, June 25, 1982.

“Everybody has to move, run and grab as many (Palestinian) hilltops as they can to enlarge the (Jewish) settlements because everything we take now will stay ours…Everything we don’t grab will go to them.”

– Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of the Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, Nov. 15, 1998.

Since 1948 there have been over 2 million Palestinian deaths (according to Yahoo) but is anyone keeping count? Does anyone care?? Perhaps the world is accepting the zionist’s response of ‘ those were accidental fatalities’…. does that make what we are witnessing an accidental holocaust? Does the number have to reach 6 million to get into Webster’s?

When Israel finishes its planned genocidal extermination of the Gazans, the number of indigenous Palestinians killed by the Zionists will be close to 4 MILLION.

Will that make the current Israeli ethnic cleansing campaign against the indigenous Palestinians a Holocaust©?

Or would that be considered a copyright infringement?

Israel and America: Bringing Death and Destruction to Muslims


The facts differ remarkably from Israel Lobby propaganda. Israel illegally occupies Palestine. Israel sends bulldozers into Palestinian villages and knocks down Palestinian houses, occasionally killing an American protester in the process, and uproots Palestinian olive groves. Israel cuts Palestinian villages off from water, hospitals, farmlands, employment and schools. Israel builds special roads through Palestine on which only Israelis can travel. Israel establishes checkpoints everywhere to hinder Palestinian movement to hospitals, schools and from one enclave or ghetto to another. Many Palestinians die from the inability to get through checkpoints to medical care. Israel builds illegal settlements on Palestinian lands. Israeli Zionist "settlers" take it upon themselves to evict Palestinians from their villages and towns in order to convert them into Israeli settlements. A huge wall has been built to wall off the stolen Palestinian lands from the remaining isolated ghettoes. Israeli soldiers shoot down Palestinian children in the streets. So do Israeli Zionist "settlers."

After pandering to Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert's right-wing government last week, US president George W. Bush carried the Israeli/neoconservative campaign against Iran to Arab countries. Sounding as authentic as the "Filipino Monkey," Bush told the Arab countries that "Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terror," and that "Iran's actions threaten the security of nations everywhere."

To no effect. Every country in the world, except America, knows by now that the US is the world's leading state sponsor of terror and that the neoconservative drive for US hegemony over the world threatens the security of nations everywhere. But before we get into this, let's first see what Bush means by "terrorist" and Iran's sponsorship of terrorism.

Bush considers Iran to be the leading state sponsor of terror, because Iran is believed to fund Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Palestinian ghetto. Hezbollah and Hamas are two organizations that exist because of Israeli aggression against Palestine and Lebanon. The two organizations are branded "terrorist" because they resist Israel's theft of Palestine and Israel's designs on southern Lebanon. Both organizations are resistance organizations. They resist Israel's territorial expansion and this makes them "terrorist."

They are terrorists because they don't receive billions in US military aid and cannot put armies in the field with tanks, fighter jets and helicopter gunships, backed up by US spy satellites and Israel's nuclear weapons – although Hezbollah, a small militia, has twice defeated the Israeli army. However, Palestine is so thoroughly under the Israeli heel that Hamas can resist only with suicide bombers and obsolete rockets. It is dishonest to damn the terrorist response but not the policies that provoke the response.

Many deaths result from American bombing of civilian populations as the Israelis did in Lebanon and do in Gaza. There is nothing new about these bombings. President Clinton bombed civilians in Serbia in order to dictate policy to Serbia. But when Americans and Israelis bomb other peoples, it is not terror. It is only terror when the US or Israel is attacked in retaliation.

The Israeli assault from the air on Beirut apartment houses is not terror. But when a Palestinian puts on a suicide belt and blows himself up in an Israeli cafe, that's terror. When Clinton bombs a Serbian passenger train, that's not terror, but when a buried explosive takes out an American tank somewhere in Iraq, that's terror.

If Americans could see both sides of the story in Occupied Palestine and not just the Israeli one, they would be horrified at the amount of death and destruction the racist Apartheid State of Israel deals out on a daily basis to the indigenous Palestinians...all done with not only the gleeful approval of whatever AIPAC picked president is in the White House, but also done with American tax dollars.

We are witnessing the 21st Century's first Holocaust being perpetuated by the Arpatheid State of Israel against the indigenous Palestinians.

Will we finally grow some backbone and tell our corrupt and immoral government, "Never Again?"

Or will we settle even further back into our Lazy Boys, and like the Three Monkeys, close our ears, our eyes and our mouths to the Palestinian Holocaust?

Wars, Assassinations and the Private Bankers of the Federal Reserve


On June 4, 1963, presidential order EO 11110 authorised the president to issue currency. Kennedy ordered the US Treasury to print $4 billion worth of "United States Notes" backed incidentally by US bullion reserves, to replace Federal Reserve Notes, which were backed by nothing, so he could end the Federal Reserve System and the control it gave international bankers over the US government and its citizens. Kennedy’s strategy to bring US troops home from Vietnam by the end of 1965, combined with the removal of the Fed’s control of the US money supply would have killed the profits of this private bank. Literally as Kennedy’s dollars went into circulation he was assassinated in Dallas.

The Rising Son of the House of JP Morgan.

By Glyn Myerscough

15/01/08 "ICH" -- - As former British Prime Minister Tony Blair takes up an advisory post with JP Morgan, at an annual salary of £2 million? – some might ask is JP Morgan a successor company of the JP Morgan private bank whose senior executives met in secrecy – from both the US government and nation – with representatives of the private banks of Rockefeller, Kune, Loeb and Co at Jekyll Island on 22nd November 1910 to write what, on the eve of the [First] World War, became the US Banking Bill, creating the Federal Reserve Bank?

US military families, and British families - who lost ill-equipped husbands and sons in Iraq - might even be a little upset if they knew some of the owners of the US Federal Reserve Bank are powerful foreign investors from old Europe, including, reportedly, partners with giant US banks such as JP Morgan Chase as well as powerful Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs - a world order banking cartel whose tentacles have profited from every global business activity - and every war - for the last two centuries.

The one attempt in the 20th century to break the power of this defacto-private bank, for this is precisely what the Federal Reserve is - when founded its board comprised 80% private bankers 20% government representatives – failed spectacularly. 44 years ago John F Kennedy attempted to end the Federal Reserve System to eliminate the national debt this ‘so called’ central bank creates by printing money and lending it to government.

The private banking cartels meanwhile can plan the next stage in the great game. The single world currency - reportedly to be called the Phoenix - full spectrum financial dominance, another war perhaps?

1913: The private bankers of the misnamed "Federal Reserve" are put in charge of the nation's money supply. Shortly thereafter, the government re-institutes the federal income tax.

Within one year of these two actions taking place, World War I erupts, condemning millions to death and hundreds of millions to suffering, pain and misery, while an elite few rake in untold billions of dollars in profits from their investments and war profiteering.

It wasn't long before the insidious power of the private bankers of the Federal Reserve became known.

Listen to what Louis T. McFadden, who was the Chairman of the House Banking Committee in the 1930's, had to say about the Federal Reserve:

"Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government Board, has cheated the Government of the United States and he people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the maladministration of that law by which the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it".

(Congressional Record, House pages 1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932)

After making this statement, McFadden was attacked in print and in person. He was labeled "Anti-Semitic" and suffered two attempts on his life, a failed shooting and an apparent poisoning that made him "violently ill" after attending a political banquet in Washington.

Not long after these attempts on his life, McFadden died of "heart-failure sudden-death" on Oct. 3, 1936, after a "dose" of "intestinal flu."

Who are some of the private bankers of the Federal Reserve? The Rothschilds of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Moses Seif of Italy; Kuhn, Loeb and Warburg of Germany; and the Lehman Brothers, Goldman, Sachs and the Rockefeller families of New York.

Some of the same hooligans who not only helped start the Iraq War, but are now profiting handsomely from that exercise in brutality, mass murder and genocide.

History is repeating itself. While millions of Iraqi's have been killed and untold millions more are condemned to suffering, pain and various depredations, an elite few is raking in billions and billions of dollars in profits.

"If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Israeli President Peres: 'Iran can also be wiped off the map'


Shimon Peres said Monday that "the president of Iran should remember that Iran can also be wiped off the map."

"Teheran is making a mockery of the international community's efforts to solve the crisis surrounding Iran's nuclear program," Peres told Reuters, adding that "Iran presents a danger to the entire world, not just to us."

Peres's vehement expressions came the same day that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wrote to US President George W. Bush proposing "new solutions" to their differences in the first letter from an Iranian leader to an American president in 27 years, Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said Monday.

In the letter, Ahmadinejad proposes "new solutions for getting out of international problems and current fragile situation of the world," Elham said.

Here's the original link, in the Jerusalem Post. You might not believe this, but the story is no longer online at the JP.

Here's another link that will get you to the same story in Ynet.

Peres: Iran nuclear policy could backfire

(VIDEO) Vice Premier says ‘Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, should bear in mind that his own country could also be destroyed’; adds: Iran mocking international community’s attempts to resolve crisis. White House: Letter from Iran does not address concerns about Tehran's nuclear ambitions

So many tough guys, full of rage, ready to strike out at the nearest object... or country.

Maybe we're just being played for fools and suckers. By keeping Americans in a constant state of neurosis, we're excellent material for begging to be kept under a semi-police state, gladly giving up what is left of our freedom to stay safe.

The only problem is that we are further from safety than ever before in the history of our democratic republic.

With the drunken and deluded GW Bush itching to start another war to take the public's mind of his numerous failures and catastrophes and the power mad and bloodthirsty Cheney never meeting a war he disliked--except the one in Vietnam, when he was of age to serve, but ducked out and got FIVE deferments to save his corpulent ass--it's easy to be scared shitless these days.

Israel's Netanyahu Claims President Bush Promised Unilateral Nuclear Bomb Attack Against Iran


We'll nuke Iran - Bush promises Israel

Thu, 01/10/2008 - 16:08 - Wire Services - US President George W. Bush promised Israel's opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu that the United States will join the Jewish state in a nuclear strike against Iran, Israel Radio reported today.

Former Prime Minister Netanyahu, opposition Likud party's hardline chairman who opposes the US-backed Annapolis peace process, reiterated to President Bush his stance, that a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Iran's nuclear installations was the only way to stop the Islamic nation's nuclear weapons ambitions.

"I told him my position and Bush agreed," Netanyahu told Israel Radio.

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more..." For the sake of Israel, the easily fooled and gullible Bush will sign the death warrants of countless American kids and possible hundreds of thousands Iranians, all to placate Israel by nuking an "existential" enemy of Israel.

Bush wants to bomb Iranian "knowledge" of nuclear weapons.

If anyone would know that "knowledge" is dangerous, it would be Bush. Or in his case, the lack of knowledge.
