Cancer In The Palestinian Territories!
Friends, Reuters carries the story today that approval has been given for four more apartment blocks in East Jerusalem. The blocks will be built right next to a Jewish seminary.
Now, as you know, according to International Law, Jews cannot build anything on occupied land. And, of course, as you know, the Israeli Jews care nothing about International Law, International Conventions, U.N. Resolutions or what anyone thinks about anything.
They are a law unto themselves and they enforce their law with their navy, air force, and military which is supplied and armed by the U.S. , that great nation that stands for democracy, human rights and freedom (when it suits their purposes).
About 500,000 Jews live in East Jerusalem and the West bank among 1.5 million Palestinians and the Israelis are building units and houses and settlements and Jew-only roads as fast as they can. It’s like a malignant cancer spreading throughout the land, a cancer which kills or dispossesses just Palestinians. Very selective, eh?
While they do this ‘spreading’, they pretend to be entering into peace negotiations with the Palestinians. Of course they have supposedly been engaged in negotiations for decades but, strange as it may seem, nothing is ever resolved and, according to the Israelis, it is all the Palestinians’ fault.
Now while this is happening, the U.S. seems to have its sights set on Yemen now as well as Iran. That will mean it is involved in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan with two more theatres of war ready to go. Those pesky ‘terrists’, who number in the hundreds and who carry rifles and IEDs, must be very dangerous to completely involve the world’s biggest army, navy and air force in constant warfare.
Of course, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, it might be just a ploy by America to keep making and selling vast quantities of weapons and munitions while it gradually swallows the world using military bases like the Israelis use settlements!
Maybe all countries should use Israel as an excuse as to how they can ignore international law. Why not? ….. the Jew’s have been doing it for decades and have never been punished, instead they keep getting paid billions from the dimming democratic beacon on the Hill…..USA.
Maybe by bombing Iran and Yemen the USA and the Jews might do the unthinkable and unite Shia and Sunni Muslims against the West and Israel, then the shit will really hit the fan.
It amazes me how 100 pesky rag tag wannabe soldiers can make their enemy spend $100 million chasing them or even their ghosts, when China gives resource third world countries (most of which are corrupt, some aren’t like Venezuela), money for development and in return gets pretty much excellent access to those resources. The other key component is the Chinese do not interfere with any other countries domestic politics. But America has to control everything, it’s their way or the highway. We are living in an era where 1 superpower (USA) is falling and we see the rising giant of China take hold. As Napoleons said “Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world.”

It’s our way or the highway, sums up the American attitude very well, Kemosobi. How can any nation be so arrogant?
I think part of the American strategy (assuming they have such a thing) is to try to contain China. But how can they do this when every country they invade and occupy for strategic reasons ends up a total disaster and futher increases hatred for America?

There are a few radio show hosts with ideas to fight back: Alex Jones’s asking all to refuse to submit to the invasive/intrusive police state body scans at the airport, or anywhere; and Max Kaiser’s asking all to boycott coca cola, as a one punch tactic to the tyranical world order. I am doing both, and spreading the word.

David the phrase ‘Talk softly but carry a big stick’ no longer applies to the USA anymore, The new phrase is ‘Shout orders then smash with a massive stick’.
They cannot contain China, they don’t have the military (bogged down in 2 soon 3 wars), money or the diplomatic power China uses on resource rich third world countries. I can’t remember the last time the USA used diplomacy to end a war or strike a unified deal.

Therese, anything that breaks the power of the corporations or imperial governments is to be encouraged.
Kemosobi, America has found that diplomacy doesn’t reap the rewards that military action followed by occupation does. We have to change the American mindset using military action if necessary.
Cheers!

What is needed is a way to stop the brainwashing of america’s young people about how noble it is to fight for your country. In the 60′s there was a saying: What if they gave a war and nobody came?
That is what we need. The government can’t fight its wars if it has no fighters. People need to rebel against endless war and all the terrible things it does to all living things.
Of course that is not easy! I recently gained to step-grandchildren and they both want to join the army. They are totally deaf to anything I have to say that is negative about the military.
Even their step-dad, who is an ex-marine, cannot talk them out of this decision.
There is no info on any MSM source here in the US about the reality of war and about what happens to the soldiers who go to war that is not upbeat and positive.
I greive for their future. They are great kids who have been feed lies and will only find out the truth when it is too late. Just like so many others who are “cannon fodder” for our great war machine.

Jeannie do you think they would watch any of the several youtube videos about Iraqi Veterans against War? There are many that show the military leaving their orders and going awol because they realized that they were being ordered to invade an innocent nation, killing innocent people. Would they listen to that? The speeches and interviews are very good. I know young people can be stubborn when it comes to listening to the close adults in their lives but maybe they would listen to some their own age who have already been there and chose to leave??

“I greive for their future. They are great kids who have been feed lies and will only find out the truth when it is too late. Just like so many others who are “cannon fodder” for our great war machine.” Too true, Jeannie. It is pervasive. Here in California our spending on prisons is greater than our spending on higher education. Gov. Terminator wants to privatize the prisons rather than look at what is happening to our youth. Prison or military are becoming the two possibilities out there for large numbers of kids. In our case, I recognized the trend and found the schools where the future leaders are being educated. It has not been an easy pathway in. It took skill and patience to establish ourselves.
Bless your step-kids, that they willl be shown the truth sooner than later. Before they join so many with PTSD and a host of Unseen injuries to nervous system and brains, or the “kids” in wheelchairs, riding down the street smoking a cig. The angry, betrayed look. It all started with a promise, a golden carrot dangling, just out of reach.
Peace on Earth. It takes skill to be diplomatic and keep the peace. Our country should reward other, greener pathways, to our kids. This is a changed planet.

I read an interesting article about China’s plans to overthrow America and Uk with cyber warfare. They estimated that it would be too costly to try to compete with the high tech computerized weaponry so they are figuring out ways to mess up the technology. (You’re drones don’t work if your computer system crashes.) They just might be onto something!!

Palestinians are the decendants of the ancient hebrews,who converted to islam,Not the european immigrant Kazars who are the jewish people of today there are only and small handful of actual jews who are descended from this land ,Is some of this support based on fraudulent religious convictions who are praying for armegeddon im sure it is a final solution for all non believers

Israel is on a Kamikaze style suicide mission. They think they are gaining in strength, but gaining strength through death and murder is a Dark mission. Going for broke if they die , they will take the whole planet down with them. Paranoid fools. Oh, I know, I know,”(I) never lived there, I can’t judge.” I say not true!. I have lived and seen people and: I see no good come out of Israel’s ways and means to their own survival. They have it only half right. If we all live, they will survive too!

“Palestinians are the decendants of the ancient hebrews, and the rightfully owners and heirs of Palestine.
What I wonder about is , how the hell did those strayed ‘belivers’ ( of mainly ¢st-european origin), convince the western establishment that their forfathers were expelled from Palestine, ( thousands of years ago). ?
The answer to the question is of course due to religion. Christ and the western culture having Christiany as man belief.
What, at least, George Galloway with his “Viva Palestina” in the latest few days trying to bring help the 1.5mill. starving people in Gaza may have shown to the world, is, that the Egyptian goverment are way more worried on behalf of the Jewish people than what the suppressed people in Gaza may have suffered and is suffering. and this is the reason that I
see a potential for a solution.
The Eqyptian land, Sinai is a desert with plenty of uninhabited squarekilometers.
The Jewish people are known for being exceptional to convert DESERT to arable land.
Why not give Sinai to the Jews AND Palestina to Palestinians? won’t everybody be happeeee.then.?
Oh – I forgot.
Those, stupid Egypt’ns,(it may be very SERIOUS ( stupidity ) has deported G. Galloway back to England, never allowed to turn back to the country. They shouldn’t have done that.
THAT WAS REALLY STUPID.

The perpetual conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is a manifestation of traditional Middle Eastern tribalism. It has as its origins an expanding population in a land of very limited resources, ancient feuds over who owns the watering hole, and a harsh climate that makes agriculture and grazing nearly impossible. The constant influx of Jews from Russia and former iron curtain countries is a strain on the originally mandated borders. High-rise apartments can only go so high. The prolific Palestinians, existing hand-to-mouth in a dire crisis situation, prove that poverty is a great aphrodesiac. If they let go of their religious fairy tales and domed holy sites, the ingrained animosity and hatred of generations will still foment nothing more than warfare and bloodshed. There is no diplomatic solution.

Ju, welcome to this blog. Tribalism is alive and well across many cultures and is often fanned by religious belief. And all too often, tribalism is encouraged by politicians who have other fish to fry.
The U.S. could, if it was so minded, stop the problem tomorrow. But Israel is part of its plan to control the world!
Reply
Ju, if no diplomatic solution then do you see any other type of solution? Or do you think one side just has to kill the other one off?
David are you picturing the US could step in with a diplomatic solution? Perhaps by withdrawing support for Israel? What steps could be taken to resolve this?
Reply
David G, thank you for the welcome. Kathy, it seems as if both sides want to kill each other off. If this happens, we know for a fact that Israel would be the temporary winner with US backing. All past efforts at diplomacy have failed miserably, with the one exception of Anwar Sadat, and look what happened to him. It’s a sad commentary on humanity when people who have the same ancestry and belong to the same haploid group have such extreme animosity toward their own cousins. As for the question another article poses, Israel is definitely the 51st state of the USA.
Some sort of snafu caused my name to come through in the first posting as “ju.” Actually, it is supposed to be judge joe. Apologies for the misprint.

Ju, it has been statistically proven, that in times of peace, education flourishes and educated people have fewer children. Living as Palestinians do, in a dire hand to mouth situation as you admit, is directly related to a increased desire to reproduce- as ones children and neighbors children and other relatives are murdered. Death, starvation, and desperation make people behave badly. There, but for the grace of fate, go I.

We have the European Union and in North America we have NAFTA. It might make sense economically, but the fact remains that cultural differences and the resultant racism will always be a dividing factor. The EU courts make it mandatory for all member nations adhere to the same human rights provisions, whether individual countries agree or not. Imagine a Middle East Union. It would be impossible because of vindictiveness, zealotry, antagonism, and fanaticism of the religious extremists. They have forgotten their ethnic history in their own holy books that claim they are ALL descendants of Shem.

Kathy, the U.S. could stop Israel tomorrow if it so desired. But it wants Israel to be the power in the area and so it cares nothing for the Palestinians.
Judge joe, to be correct Israel wants the Palestinians either dead or moved elsewhere so they can have their racially pure State. Of course any claim of racial purity is fanciful!
Grace, death, starvation and desperation do make people behave badly. The Israelis can’t use these justifications!
