Israeli Genocide and its Willing Accomplices
James Petras
Introduction
Outside of Israel and its organized supporters in the major Zionist organizations, world public opinion and most experts in international law see the Jewish State’s invasion of Gaza and its systematic attack on civilians and basic infrastructure as a crime against humanity.
The purpose of this essay is 4-fold: 1. To identify the nature of the crime – the genocidal character of the armed assault and the sequence leading up to it; 2. To identify the direct perpetrators of the war crimes and their domestic and international accomplices; 3. To explain the ties binding leaders, policymakers, propagandists, accomplices and followers, including their ideologies, material interests and organizational structure which make these crimes not only possible, but met so far with impunity and 4. To identify the larger imperial interests with which Israel allies with the US, and in pursuit of which, the Gaza assault is a horrifying dress rehearsal.
HIROSHIMA REMEMBERED AND UNDERSTOOD
Allen L Roland, Ph.D
The Clock Stopped at Hiroshima
At precisely 8:15 AM on August 6th, 1945 ~ 200,000 people eventually died from an Atomic Bomb dropped by the United States on Japan and our world permanently changed, for at that moment man had discovered the ultimate means to destroy ourselves but now, 69 years later, we are still learning the intellectual and soul based moral bearings needed to control the fearsome murderous beast we unleashed on Hiroshima and then three days later on Nagasaki. Perhaps now we are ready to fully experience the life sustaining choice of love, social cooperation and altruism which are the innate driving forces of evolution as well as our only choice for the survival of our species
The day will come, when, after mastering the ether, the winds, the tides, gravity, we shall master the energies of love, for God. And then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have made fire his servant: Teilhard de Chardin
Last year, I wrote a requiem for the children of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Afghanistan and now Gaza but today I write a note of warning ~ for the planet can no longer evolve without its moral conscience and bearings. See 2013 article ~
Abbas: Longtime Israeli Collaborator
by Stephen Lendman
Note: This article was written before my two month illness. It remained unsubmitted on my desktop.
It's appropriate now given Abbas' less than wholehearted condemnation of Israeli mass murder and destruction in Gaza.
It continues as this article is posted on my blog site and sent to web editors.
Abbas is a longtime Israeli co-conspirator and collaborator against his own people. He shames the office Israel arranged for him to hold. He governs illegitimately.
Israel rigged his 2005 election. It was payback for enforcer services rendered. For betraying his own people.
He profited greatly. He serves illegitimately. His term expired in January 2009. He refuses to call new elections.
We Have Had Enough of Elie Wiesel and His Ilk
By Gilad Atzmon
According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the London Times refused to run an ad featuring Elie Wiesel speaking out against Hamas’ use of children as human shields.
The ad’s headline reads: “Jews rejected child sacrifice 3,500 years ago. Now it’s Hamas’ turn.” Wiesel’s statement is a blatant lie and the London Times knew it.
Jews have never stopped sacrificing their children. The Hannibal Protocol is an IDF directive that orders soldiers to take ‘necessary measures’ to prevent their comrades from being captured by enemy forces. ‘Necessary measures’ include risking the life of the Israeli soldier and anyone who happens to be in his vicinity. Similarly, the Kastner Affair shows that at the peak of the Shoah, Ben Gurion and the Zionist establishment were willing to sacrifice many Jewish lives on the altar of the Zionist goal.
The Battle for Ukraine's Soul
by Stephen Lendman
Many previous articles explained the geopolitical importance of crisis conditions in Ukraine.
The book Flashpoint in Ukraine: How the US Drive for Hegemony Risks World War III discusses its gravity and much more in detail.
Ukraine remains in the eye of the storm. Neocons infest Washington. They influence administration policy.
They want total unchallenged world dominance. Russia and China mainly stand in the way.
United they pose formidable opposition to Washington's imperial aims. At risk is a potential East/West confrontation.
July 28 marked WW I's 100th anniversary. WW II followed the war to end all wars.
US-led NATO bears full responsibility for perpetual wars through today's ongoing conflicts. It's a global killing machine.
America's Corrupt Legal System - A Danger to All
Reprint from http://www.injusticexposed.org
Corruption is the abuse of power by a public official for private gain or any organized, interdependent system in which part of the system is either not performing duties it was originally intended to, or performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the system's original purpose. The abuse of public offices for private gain is paradigmatic of corruption.
A common belief is that corruption is a judge taking bribes. The definition exceeds this theory. Corruption describes any organized, interdependent system in which part of the system is either not performing duties it was originally intended to, or performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the system's original purpose.
Corrupt judicial systems not only violate the basic right to equality before the law but deny procedural rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution.
While corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and mail fraud.; it is not restricted to these activities. In this country, corruption is so common that it is expected when ordinary businesses or citizens interact with government officials. The end-point of political corruption is a kleptocracy, literally "rule by thieves".
America's Corrupt Legal System - A Danger to All
by Dr Les Sachs
(This article may be freely reproduced and republished in full by anyone, anywhere.)
The tragic reality of the world's biggest corrupt legal system -America's rigged courts, bribed judges, fake and phony trials, extortion by lawyers, and over 2 million prisoners in the USA gulag. Why USA "justice" is not like in Hollywood movies, and why YOU could be the next victim on USA territory - innocent and sent to prison, or strapped to a table and put to death; or robbed of your life savings by American lawyers. Why YOU can be tortured, have your freedom and rights taken away, and why people in America are afraid to help you, or even tell what happened to you.
The recent pattern of American violations of international law are ultimately based in the corruption of the USA domestic legal system. Phony USA courts are very dangerous even for travellers and visitors to America, who can easily wind up among the USA's more than 2 million prisoners, or lose all their family's possessions to corrupt American lawyers. All world citizens should know how the corrupt USA legal system, is a danger to every traveller, visitor, and guest worker from overseas, and to every individual who takes the risky step of entering upon American territory. Just ask the overseas families of prisoners who were put to death inside the USA, with their embassies never even being informed that they were arrested - or the many foreign people serving hugely long prison terms in America, after they were jailed on flimsy tainted "evidence" from criminal snitches.
The reality is that the United States of America, which proclaims itself the "land of freedom", has the most dishonest, dangerous and crooked legal system of any developed nation. Legal corruption is covering America like a blanket. The corruption of the USA legal system is well-known, but also well-hidden, by the news services of America's corporate-owned media. The US media companies are afraid both of reprisal, and of the social revolution that would come from exposing the truth. Here is what the US media companies know, but are afraid to tell you about American "justice".
Israel and Palestine: The Mirror has Many Faces
Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
For 29 long days and nights, Israel waged the war on the people of Gaza. Given the immense bravery and strategic resourcefulness, insanity went on unchecked to murder the innocent in ‘open prison’ just to preserve once status-quo in border security and map without borders. Its consequences do not change the outcome for prevalent insecurity and mutual mistrust or set the stage for peace and harmony between the two unequal warriors. The current UNO-General Assembly criticizes the disproportionate human losses and deliberate destruction of the infrastructures and blames Israel for good many acts of vengeance against the helpless Palestinians in Gaza. More specifically, how the Israeli targeted the UN operated schools, hospitals, the places of worship and killed civilians- children and women and devastated civic infrastructures. The sheer madness resulted in killing of 1,876 Palestinians in Gaza, 9,000 wounded and 64 Israeli troops and 3 civilians. Israel and Hamas both appear to be losers not winners in this ‘catastrophic madness’ as the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon described it. Felicity Arbuthnot (“Israel: International Anger Mounts” Global Research: 7/23/2014), a London-based journalist and peace activist offers most penetrating insight into the current crisis:
As Israel trades on eternal victim status whilst murdering neighbouring, fellow Semites with seeming legal impunity, stealing land, obliterating homes, nullifying history preceding even the coming of Christ in the land of his birth...
Middle East in Turmoil
by Stephen Lendman
Again my great thanks to the many friends, colleagues and readers welcoming me back, sending me get well wishes from around the world.
It means so much to me. I thanked everyone and will ahead. Support messages mean so much emotionally and physically.
I continue my recovery as an outpatient. It's my top priority. I hope to write and do media work as able. It's what I love best.
It was agonizing being silenced during the worst of Israel's genocidal slaughter of non-combatant men, women, children, infants, the elderly and infirm.
Further Evidence that Obama Is a Republican
Eric Zuesse
Greg Palast headlined at his site on August 7th, "How Barack Obama could end the Argentina debt crisis," and opened:
"The 'vulture' financier now threatening to devour Argentina can be stopped dead by a simple note to the courts from Barack Obama. But the president, while officially supporting Argentina, has not done this one thing that could save Buenos Aires from default. Obama could prevent vulture hedge-fund billionaire Paul Singer from collecting a single penny from Argentina by invoking the long-established authority granted presidents by the US constitution's 'Separation of Powers' clause. Under the principle known as 'comity', Obama only need inform US federal judge Thomas Griesa that Singer's suit interferes with the president's sole authority to conduct foreign policy. Case dismissed."
Singer is a major funder of the Republican Party. Palast's report attributes this fact to Singer's trying to buy that Party's support in Singer’s duel against Argentina:
"Since taking on Argentina, Singer has unlocked his billion-dollar bank account, becoming the biggest donor to New York Republican causes. He is a founder of Restore Our Future, a billionaire boys club, channelling the funds of Bill Koch and other Richie Rich-kid Republicans into a fearsome war-chest dedicated to vicious political attack ads. And Singer recently gave $1m to Karl Rove's Crossroads operation, another political attack machine."
The sons of mendacity
By Khaled Amayreh in Occupied Palestine
The sons of mendacity are Zionist thugs such as Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Elie Wiesel, the self-righteous American-Jewish pig who openly advocates Palestinian ethnic cleansing.
These criminal-minded thugs adopt lying as their modus operandi in order to justify or divert attention from their genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people. Lying has always been and continues to be Israel's chief means to justify the unjustifiable, including mass extermination of innocent civilians.
As an inherently criminal entity, Israel is probably the most gigantic crime against humanity in humanity's entire history.
It successfully manipulated the painful memories of the Second World War, particularly the so-called holocaust, to murder Palestinians en masse, destroy their homes and expel a majority of the native Muslim and Christian inhabitants to the four winds in order to take over their homes.
