Information Clearing House - News you won't find on CNN : Supporting Palestine at the UN Today Is a Vote for Peace in the Middle East

Sun, 2 Dec 2012 01:40:10 +0000

The Western countries dealt with 'the crime of apartheid' twice already. They didn't accept the 'no impunity' argument. Rather, they agreed to what they call 'truth and reconciliation'. Cops from the apartheid era weren't punished - they would have fought to the death if the ANC had adopted the hardline position.

Information Clearing House - News you won't find on CNN : Climate Change Is Happening Now – A Carbon Price Must Follow

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jun/23... "James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer." Greenpeace explicitly denies the right to freedom of expression for 'climate change deniers': http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/campaigns/global... I don't know if it's the greatest scientific fraud in history, but global warming is definitely a dangerous political movement. James Hansen is one of its leaders.

Information Clearing House - News you won't find on CNN : Palestine Now What? = By Nahida the exiled Palestinian

Sun, 2 Dec 2012 00:44:22 +0000

"Evict foreign criminals"... "Anyone who can prove non-participation in the ex-Israeli occupation apparatus... will probably obtain a chance to gain unrestricted Palestinian citizenship"... Most adult Jewish Israelis have participated in the "occupation apparatus". Nahida's demands imply reverse ethnic cleansing. There is no way the Western countries will support that, so it will never happen. It would be better simply to demand that Western countries follow their own principles and interests, and stop supporting Jewish supremacy. Anyone who was born in Israel, the West Bank or Gaza would have the right to stay there. Others' rights to move there would depend on how long ago their ancestors lived there. This would mean the end of the Jewish state.

If this was about a protest in favor of apartheid in the old South Africa, it would not be entitled "South Africans bay for blood", it would be "White supremacists bay for blood". But because its about Jewish, not white, supremacists, it's entitled "Israelis bay for blood". It should be "Jewish supremacists bay for blood".

Evelyn Burch - are you saying that Israeli war crimes are not Jewish? Are they American, because America sponsors them? Why does America do this? How can you describe comments on an ambiguous lefty rant, diverting attention from Jewish power, as "obsession with all things 'jewish'"?

Greenwald wrote something similar the other day: http://tinyurl.com/b5lq7lz The problem with his analysis of the USA's relationship to Israel is its glaring ambiguity. In the article referred to above, he does say “the US and Israel converge more than ever before: if not in interests, than certainly in tactics”. Hidden in the middle of a long complaint about the allegedly 'new' tactic of targeted assassinations (admiral Yamamoto would disagree), he hints that perhaps the US and Israel's interests fail to converge. Whether Israel is a useful tool of Western imperialism, or an albatross round its neck, is the $64,000 question. How you approach stopping the USA's unconditional support for Zionism depends on your answer to this question. If Israel is harmful to US capitalist interests, the leftist approach has to be abandoned. It's not a class issue - it's an issue of an ethnic minority undermining the interests of everyone else, rich and poor. Saying the USA and the other Western countries support Israel, and that's how it gets away with what it does, is stating the 'bleeding obvious', to use Greenwald's adopted London slang, and avoids the issue. WHY do they support it? Because it defends the oil wells, keeps Arab radicalism in check, holds the line against the Soviets? Does Israel send soldiers to fight for American interests? No. The West supports Israel because of Jewish power. Palestine solidarity in the West consists of defeating this power.

This is the first time I've posted on this site. It seems to contain a good selection of articles and comments. I agree with Nahida (above). I think Palestine solidarity should not take a position on the Holocaust, nor on who were the perpetrators of atrocities like 9/11. These are open questions. One should aggressively defend the freedom of speech of "Holocaust deniers" and "9/11 truthers", because Jewish supremacists who have infiltrated Palestine solidarity want to suppress that freedom. But it is important not to fall into the opposite error of making agreement with these conspiracy theories mandatory.

NewsReal Blog : Media Matters Blames The Egyptian Crisis on Those Foreign Policy-Controlling, Media-Owning JEWS

Tue, 1 Feb 2011 04:16:12 +0000

There are three things wrong with the argument in this article: '“Israel Lobby” is a polite way of saying “Jews.” It is based on the old anti-Semitic canard that the Jews control the United States government'. Firstly, 'Israel Lobby' does not mean 'Jews'. It means political organisations run by a powerful minority of Jews, defending what they see as Jewish ethnic interests. Secondly, it is not based on a canard - it is based on an analysis of modern American society, asking to what extent the USA would unconditionally support Israel if it ruthlessly followed its own interests. Finally, it is irrelevant if it is based on an old canard. What matters is - is it true?

In normal times, over-the-top Zionism of the Horowitz variety is dangerous. Its main role is to put opponents of Israeli crimes on the defensive, and secondarily, it makes left-Zios like Chomsky and his followers look like they are doing something against apartheid. Horowitz and co. call them 'self-hating Jews', and this makes it appear that they are making sacrifices. The danger in the current time is this - this nonsense about the left supporting the 'terrorist flotilla' and so on means they won't take any notice of reasonable arguments about their underestimation of the error of downplaying differences with Islamic fundamentalism, like in Iran in 1979.

It's entertaining to see Zionists squirm. It's encouraging when they are not a smart as they think they are. Attacking Chomsky at a time like this! Time will come when Chomsky will be regarded by Zios as an asset - his fudging and waffling on the Israel/Palestine question holds back the American Left from taking the same attitude to Jewish apartheid as it took to white apartheid.

I gave a talk at Pacifica Forum about fake hate crimes in November 2008. I argued that fake hate crimes not only help pc leftist moral panics, but help the Israel Lobby too. Now it appears that the Pacifica Forum itself is a victim of a fake hate crime. Except this one is so amateurish most people can see through it. The pamphlet is at http://pacificaforum.org/mass

'I do not want to be on a campus where the president talks about diversity and inclusiveness but still allows a hate group' - April-Kay Williams is not only on the wrong campus, she's in the wrong country. 'Hate group' is not a meaningful term under the US Constitution. As for Pacifica Forum being pro-Nazi, has the author of this piece looked at the group's website http://pacificaforum.org ? It's a free speech group. All this talk of 'hate groups' and Nazis is an attack on free speech in the interests of the real racists in our community.
