Once upon a time there was a place called Palestine, a land of milk & honey written about in a book called The Bible.
This ended in 1948 when Ben-Gurion declared the creation of the State of Israel. Palestine was then flooded with Jews from Europe,
later USA and other countries. These immigrants kicked the Palestinians out of their homes, off their farms and out of Palestine.
Now the Palestinians are imprisoned in The Gaza Strip, a foul strip of desert between Israel & Egypt,
or have been forced out to the west of The River Jordan. However even that is not enough for the Israelis,
they keep expanding into the West Bank territory and creating settlements there and every couple of years have a turkey shoot,
only it's not turkeys they're shooting.

2008 - The Same Old Story - Slaughter by the Israelis ![]() This cartoon from Peter Brooks, on TIMESONLINE Summary of the Israeli atrocities in Palestine. In 2008, up to 27th Dec., the home-made rockets that Hamas fired into Israel killed no-one. In return the Israelis killed 400 children and 900 adults. After the Israeli attacks Hamas rockets killed 3 Israeli civilians. The Israelis shelled clearly designated UN schools sheltering civilians and used white phosphorus against civilians, both of these actions are war crimes. USA supplied, free, the aircraft, helicopter gunships, missiles, bombs and bullets for these attacks and will block any international condemnation of Israel in UN. BBC - "I rushed back to find their dead bodies - or rather parts of their bodies - strewn all over the room. . . " BBC - Amnesty Finds Evidence of War Crimes TIMESONLINE - Amnesty International: Gaza white phosphorus shells were US made BBC - Israel troops admit Gaza abuses 5th Jan. 2009 People who are really evil are few and far between, and so it is with nations. By being evil I mean people or states who choose to indiscriminately kill, imprison, torture and inflict severe physical and mental pressures on others. Examples are Nazi Germany in the 1940's and the Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970's. There are states and organisations in Africa and one or two other places that are evil, they slaughter anyone that comes in their way as they try to gain their desires. And so it is with Israel and U.S.A. In order to gain land for themselves the Israelis have driven the Palestinians from Palestine, from their farms, from their homes and they kill the Palestinians who object. The U.S.A., whose presidents depend upon the votes and influence of Jews in New York who support Israel, have always been ready to give the Israelis the weapons to enable them pursue this evil. In effect US foreign policy is determined by Israel. To support the Israelis the US blocks any attempt in U.N. by other nations to stop or condemn this evil. The U.S.A. is evil in its own right. Its invasion of Iraq, which brought about the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis was nothing more than an attempt to gain control of Iraqi oil. The US government distorted its laws and ignored international laws to allow it to imprison and torture any Iraqi, anyone, they wished. It was the same in Vietnam, only then over 2 million Vietnamese died. Quite simply Israel and U.S.A. are evil just as Nazi Germany and the Khmer Rouge were before them. Yesterday, as I wrote that, the Israelis were firing tank shells into a U.N. school in which civilians were sheltering. At least 40 were killed and another 55 wounded. As I said, Israel and America who provided them with the weapons are evil terrorist states. * The Guardian - Gaza's day of carnage - 40 dead as Israelis bomb two UN schools * The Independent - Robert Fisk: Why do they hate the West so much, we will ask - This is essential reading * The Guardian - Israel accused of delaying medical access to injured * The Guardian - Israel shelled Palestinians after evacuating them, UN says ------------------------------------------ 28th Dec. 2008 Once again I am ashamed to be British. As the world is horrified by the slaughter of hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israelis the British Government refuses to condemn the slaughter, or even ask the Israelis to stop the slaughter. Where is Tony Blair, George Bush's tame Peace Envoy. Perhaps he's too busy making money to buy one more fancy house, or in the confessional at his church. In Britain, on Guy Fawkes Night, (Nov. 5th), there were more casualties from fireworks than there has been all year in Israel from Hamas rockets. In 2008 not one Israeli was killed by these Hamas rockets before the Israelis started killing the Palestinians. (If any Zionist wishes to correct that please send me a list of the deaths of Israelis due to these rockets.) This destruction and killing is nothing to do with Hamas fireworks, it is an attempt to destroy the civil infrastructure of Gaza. Look at the buildings destroyed, the interior ministry, police headquarters, mosques and a university. Several years ago they did the same with Fatah and in doing so created public support for Hamas which brought about the democratically elected Hamas government. Gaza is the worlds biggest prison camp. Israel controls the borders and all that is allowed in and out of this foul, barren desert strip. Recently they have been restricting food, medicine and fuel such that there is extensive hardship and malnutrition in Gaza. Now The Israelis seem to have decided it is simpler to kill the Palestinians with bombs & missiles provided for that purpose by USA. For the Israelis it is like shooting fish in a barrel. The Israelis seem to accept that Hitler knew how to deal with unwanted people, perhaps Gaza should be re-named Auschwitz. Here are two reports from the British media. The Guardian and The Independent are newspapers of the highest quality, their reports will be 100% accurate. * Five sisters killed while they slept * Gaza Diary What sort of moral code justifies this slaughter by the Israelis and its approval by the US and UK governments? ---------------------------- July 2006 I feel I should be updating my website with details of the latest incidents in Palestine and Lebanon, but it's just the same as before. The Israelis destroying and killing while America supplies them with billions of $$ worth of bombs, missiles and aircraft. Israel has devastated Gaza and Lebanon, destroying the infrastructure and killing many hundreds of people, most of who are women and children. They are also targeting UN observers and Red Cross ambulances as well as convoys of civilian refugees trying to escape the bombing. These actions are undoubtedly war crimes. War crimes, does it matter, the USA will veto any criticism of Israel made in UN. Check out this BBC website to see what the Israelis have destroyed. Don't be misled by the Israeli talk of the rockets, home-made fireworks, fired by Hizbollah, they have killed less than 20 civilians compared to the several hundred Palestinians and Lebanese killed by the Israelis in the past few days. What started this? The Israelis, who have over 10,000 Palestinians & Lebanese held in prison camps, feel that it OK for them to devastate Gaza and Lebanon because Hamas has one Israeli prisoner and Hizbollah has two. I wondered if this was to be a smokescreen allowing the Israelis to bomb Iran, so far it hasn't been. I'm not much into countries having nuclear bombs but with such a belligerent Israel and USA who can blame Iran for wanting nuclear weapons to protect it's people. America is flying in more laser guided bombs, missiles and other weaponry as fast as Israel can use them. Sadly the USA/Israel Axis of Evil has been supported by the British Government which has allowed the aircraft carrying these shipments of bombs and missiles to refuel in UK. Even Bush's poodle Tony Blair has become a supporter of America's far right neo-cons. I see that Blair doesn't want a cease-fire, he wants the Israelis to have a more time to kill more Palestinians & Lebanese and to destroy more of the infrastructure before there is a cease-fire. I can not understand how British Members of Parliament who had humanitarian political attitudes in the 1980's have been so ready to support Bush's destruction and killings in the Middle East. I am ashamed of the British Government. |
Update, 31st July 2006
|
When I added the section above about the killings by Israel being the same old story I didn't realise how right I was.
In 1996 The Israelis massacred 105 Lebanese civilians who were sheltering in a UN compound in Qana.
Yesterday the Israelis used a laser precision-guided bomb to kill approximately 60 civilians,
including 34 children who were sheltering in a building in Qana.
Bush and his lap-dog Blair have repeatedly made it clear that they didn't want a ceasefire, they wanted the Israelis to have more time to continue their killing. Well, Tony, you got what you wanted. Are you happy now? And you British Labour MP's, you supported Blair throughout his lies and killing in Iraq, you let this evil genie out of the bottle, how much longer will you support his far-right, neo-con, murderous policies? Here Blair! Look at these pictures, be proud of your work. Damn it! The photos have moved. |
Terrorism in Palestine
A Conservative Total for U.S. Aid to Israel: $91 Billion and Counting
Since 1973, Israel has cost the United States about $1.6 trillion. If divided by today's population, that is more than $5,700 per person
October 26
Petition to investigate and clear/condemn Ariel Sharon If you feel that Ariel Sharon activities needs further investigation you might wish to sign:"A Petition for International Investigation Committee on Ariel Sharon's crimes against humanity" If he is innocent of the crimes against humanity he will be shown to be innocent, conversely if he is guilty the world should know and he should be condemned. In the past 10 years the US has provided Israel with $7.2bn worth of weaponry and military equipment, including: Equipment, Cost (per unit) Fighter planes
Helicopters
Missiles
If you require detailed information on the supply of military equipment to Israel check out, Search for the facts yourself It would be possible to list hundreds of reports of killings by Israelis and how this has been supported by U.S.A. If you don't want to believe me you might be more convinced if you did the searches yourself, go to Google and simply search for:
Sharon Sabra Chatilla Shatila or try: "Foreign Aid" USA Israel and: Israel nuclear weapons Don't just try these, try anything which will give you more information about what is happening out there, and who is responsible for it. U.S.A. Attitude to Democracy and Chemical Weapons If you get bored seeing the Israelis using American helicopter gunships, American warplanes and American tanks to kill
civilians in Palestine you could check out the US attitude to democracy, try Google and search for: Another interesting exercise with Google is to try and find out how many people were killed due to the USA intervention in Vietnam,
and why USA thought that their deaths were appropriate.
If you would like an extensive list of US intervention in world affairs check out, http://whatreallyhappened.com/usinterventionism.html. Or if you think that the US government is not developing chemical weapons check out:
Please bear in mind that in most of this webpage I am just trying to lay out some facts which many people don't realise and many prefer not to consider. The newspapers I refer to are are of high standard and their reports are factual. If you have some facts to show that Sharon wasn't The Butcher of Beirut, that America isn't funding and supplying the weapons to Israel, if you can show that the U.S.A. has a consistent policy on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Democracy, please tell me, I'd much prefer to believe that. O.K. - My Personal View How have the Israelis have managed to hijack the government of U.S.A.'s foreign policy and foreign aid? I am disappointed with Britain, Europe and UN's ineffectiveness on these key issues. As the butchery continues my views are slowly becoming less pacifist. Surely it is time for Europe, Middle Eastern countries and the rest of the world to supply anti-tank and anti-helicopter weapons to the Palestinians so that they can defend themselves from these land-grabbing Israeli terrorists. By the way, I am not a Palestinian, I am not an Arab, I am not a Moslem, I am not anti-semitic, (I differentiate between being Anti-Israel and Anti-semitic). I'm just an insignificant English guy who is apalled by this Israeli terrorism which is sponsored by the Americans. Palestine for the Palestinians. On Friday 17th May, 2002 I received a group of emails about my website here are the key extracts: From: jamie_musikant@hotmail.com bye the way - YOUR FAMOUS - you website is being passed onto every jew, evry pro israeli individual and thousands of others that are going to demonstrate to have your name and your web site destroyed. jamie m------------------------------- From: Sebastian Dey at bastl2012@hotmail.com the arabs are primitive - uneducated people . . . . . you know what peter - u are not worth it - i will fight alone with others to destroy your website because it is wrong and unjust and you do not have the right to promote such wrong - have you no heart - no feeling - libe amoungst the israelies and see for your self but if i had my way i send you to gaza for life - . - i rather spend my time fighting to destroy your website! --------------------------------- From: Claudia Peters The only thing I can say to you is that you are obviously very poorly educated, as you seem to have all your facts wrong. . With regards to Jenin, there was no massacre there, even though many British newspaper called it that. There has been no evidence at all of mass killings that you say there were. Israel army were surrounding Palestinian militants who are responsible of the murder of many Israelis. . . The reason that I am writing to you, is not only because I am in disgust and appalled, but because you are completely wrong and believe that if your are to design a website, you should only put the truth on it, and not fill it will lies and propaganda. . . I think you should do some background and get your facts straight. Claudia ............... My reply:Hi Claudia, So you are saying my facts are wrong. Are you saying USA is not giving $2,000 million to Israel for military aid this year? You are wrong. It is very easily checked out, the US government foreign aid budget is public information. Are you saying that Ariel Sharon did not oversee the massacres in Sabra & Chatilla? The Israeli government had an enquiry and established that he did. Are you saying that the Israelis have not killed approaching 1,800 Palestinians in the past 19 months? The exact number is unknown but before Israel invaded Palestine, this time, the undisputed figure was around 1,200. All the evidence since the Israeli invasion suggests that the figure is now around 1,800 Are you saying that Israel does not have nuclear weapons? If you say that, you are wrong. Are you saying that the Israeli killers in Jenin did not use bulldozers to flatten
houses with people inside them? If so you are wrong. The evidence is there for all to see,
the Israeli killers admit they did. Sadly, Claudia, my facts are not wrong, I wish they were. ---------------------------From: Michelle Lewis How dare you write such openly pro Arab propaganda. For the record, you may
profess not to be an anti-semite, but you definately come across as one.
Your views are no better than some neo fascist/neo nazi. From C.E., Australia 23 Aug 2002 . . . Please update your site , i have spoken to soldiers who were in control of the Jenin refugee camp and only three buildings were destroyed . . . My reply: Hi C.E., The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs claim "only 95 houses were destroyed", the Palestinians say many times that were destroyed. I personally have seen detailed satellite images of Jenin which very clearly suggest that many more than 95 houses were destroyed. If this is the quality of the information that you have your views are not worth considering. Quite simply, you don't know what you are talking about. Regards, etc. In Feb 2007 I received an email from C.E., Australia saying, "A few years ago i sent you an email on you terrorism in palestine website. . . . I would kindly request you remove my name and comment from your website as I believed it was a private email. I am not ashamed of what I wrote, therefore it is not my intention to "hide" what I said. I am sure you think I ought to be ashamed of what I wrote, and that is your perogative. I do not at all believe you do not have the right to voice your own opinions. I would however politely request you remove my name from your website. I purely do not want the first google hit of my name to go to your website which I was not informed the email would be posted." I have therefore substituted his full name for his initials. I have left his message because it shows how easily some people are misled into believing that the Israelis are not really that bad. Here is an email I received from someone in USA. Enjoyed your website very much!. Here's something that you might like to add that shows the utter contempt that Israel has for the USA!
3 years ago, Samuel Sheinbein, an American jew, beheaded a 19 year old Christian boy in Maryland.
He then fled to the waiting arms of Israel. Even though Samuel had never before set foot on Israeli soil,
the Israeli supreme court immediately declared him an Israeli citizen and refused America's request to extradite him.
There are 2 things wrong here: Firstly is Israel declaring him a citizen, merely because he is jewish.
Secondly, so what if he IS an Israeli citizen... He committed murder in the US - he should have to face American justice.
Instead of facing the death penalty in Maryland, Samuel is in a minimum security prison in Israel and is up
for parole in 6 years. You may do a YAHOO or Google search of "Samuel Sheinbein"
There are hundreds of links. |
