Topic: On Clowns and Tear Gas | |
---|---|
Having been urged to "Bring Your Colorful Smile" to the weekly peaceful demonstration in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, kids and their parents painted faces, flew kites and danced with clowns - until Israeli soldiers arrived and tear gassed them. More distressing yet is the thought of how many other villages regularly endure this. More here, here, here. see the vid at http://www.commondreams.org/further/2011/06/28-0 Flying the kite right in the dudes face was pretty stupid. Those people looked pretty well dressed for being slaves of an apartheid state. I think it couldnt be missed actualy and your just makeing a comment that is negative to pursue an agenda. its my opinion that Umerikas Israel apologists who fill the corporate media and our government, are just as despicable as the Israeli criminals, and are a disgrace to our country. I watched the video. How the hell else did I know they flew the kite in the dudes face? Did they say that in the dialog? You have an agenda. You spend your days reading leftist propaganda and then regurgitate it here. I'm not biased or have any agenda. I blame both sides. They are both irresponsible and twisted. You fight wars and you lose expect to have your land taken.All the whining and bitching isn't bringing it back. If you win the wars and keep your boot on the losers throats expect that eventually you are going to get blowback. They are both wrong. Plain and fning simple. I then proceeded to water the garden and when I took a break yes I did browse my favorite news site and indeed I did find an artice to share with like minded people allways suprised at the hostility I get for trying to shed light on a subject. Anyhow what I find shocking is the media silence on Israels attrocities and the american hypocracy. It shames me as an american to live in a country like this. Lets hope things change All of your threads on this subject are biased and your intention is to provoke harsh responses. You are ashamed of this... Well when I think of the blood that was shed founding this country what is going on in the middle east is childs play. When you decide to give back your land to the indians that were massacred for it, then I'll buy your outrage. The correct comparison is the Warsaw ghetto. |

Well when I think of the blood that was shed founding this country what is going on in the middle east is childs play. When you decide to give back your land to the indians that were massacred for it, then I'll buy your outrage. The correct comparison is the Warsaw ghetto. This is where you go way over-the-top. Your comparison between the Palestinians and the Warsaw ghetto is unwarranted and very wrong. The Palestinians are not being starved, tortured, sent to concentration camps and summarily killed. They do not have to wear stars on their garments to identify themselves in public. Palestinians can go where they like. They can go into Israel and they can apply for Israeli citizenship. If they want peace all they have to do is stop attacking Israel and they will have peace this afternoon. Palestinians do not live in a ghetto for example. They are allowed to practice their religion and can get whatever food and water they like. They are not randomly beaten but are left alone unless they are attacking others and even then most incidents are handled by the Palestinian Authority unless they go after Israelis. No Israelis are calling for the extermination of the Palestinians nor would they ever do this because they have some experience with extermination. By contrast, Iran - the major supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah (and a country which has been secretly trying to develop nuclear capabilities) has openly called in public speeches for "wiping Israel off the face of the earth". Of course your comparison is a gross exaggeration but it is also repugnant given how the Jews in Warsaw were truly treated. The American Indians certainly had their land stolen from them and were badly mistreated. But the Palestinians are not like the Indians either. Their ancestors did not have the same kind of presence in the region historically and actually never governed the area at all. The Turks governed the area, the Romans, the Jordanians, the Israelis of course were the earliest well documented rulers of Israel/Judea but the Palestinians who have migrated to the area over the years come from all these different countries and cultures. The population of the land now know as Israel has waxed and waned over the years but there has never been anything akin to a Palestinian government in recorded history... prior to recorded history...no one knows for certain. The plight of the Palestinians has been eased considerably whenever their leaders have stopped inciting violence and just worked with their neighbors on improving the economy. Here is a discussion of how the Palestinians as we know them today came to the area (with references) Read the section on "Israels Roots". from http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths2/index.html MYTH “The Palestinians are descendants of the Canaanites and were in Palestine long before the Jews.” FACT Palestinian claims to be related to the Canaanites are a recent phenomenon and contrary to historical evidence. The Canaanites disappeared from the face of the earth three millennia ago, and no one knows if any of their descendants survived or, if they did, who they would be. Sherif Hussein, the guardian of the Islamic Holy Places in Arabia, said the Palestinians’ ancestors had only been in the area for 1,000 years.9 Even the Palestinians themselves have acknowledged their association with the region came long after the Jews. In testimony before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, for example, they claimed a connection to Palestine of more than 1,000 years, dating back no further than the conquest of Muhammad’s followers in the 7th century.10 And that claim is also dubious. Over the last 2,000 years, there have been massive invasions (e.g., the Crusades) that killed off most of the local people, migrations, the plague, and other manmade or natural disasters. The entire local population was replaced many times over. During the British mandate alone, more than 100,000 Arabs emigrated from neighboring countries and are today considered Palestinians. By contrast, no serious historian questions the more than 3,000-year-old Jewish connection to the Land of Israel, or the modern Jewish people’s relation to the ancient Hebrews. |

Members of the global criminal organization, Israel and the puppets they bribe or extort or threaten to serve their evil cause are experts at spreading ridiculi. Likewise, this exaggeration is also way over the top. That Jews and Israelis are part of a global criminal organization to extort and threaten the world was an argument popularized by the real Nazis - the ones who really created and ran the actual Warsaw ghetto. ![]() From the Wiki on the Warsaw Ghetto Creation The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the German Governor-General Hans Frank on October 16, 1940. Frank ordered Jews in Warsaw and its suburbs rounded up and herded into the Ghetto. At this time, the population in the Ghetto was estimated to be 400,000 people, about 30%[1] of the population of Warsaw; however, the size of the Ghetto was about 2.4%[2] of the size of Warsaw. The ghetto was split into two areas, the "small ghetto", generally inhabited by richer Jews and the "large ghetto", where conditions were more difficult; the two ghettos were linked by a single footbridge. The Nazis then closed the Warsaw Ghetto from the outside world on November 16, 1940, by building a wall, topped with barbed wire, and deploying armed guards. Conditions ![]() A child dying in the streets of the Warsaw Ghetto During the next year and a half, thousands of the Polish Jews as well as some Romani people from smaller cities and the countryside were brought into the Ghetto, while diseases (especially typhus),[7] and starvation kept the inhabitants at about the same number. Average food rations in 1941 for Jews in Warsaw were limited to 186 calories, compared to 1,669 calories for gentile Poles and 2,614 calories for Germans. Over 100,000 of the Ghetto's residents died due to rampant disease or starvation, as well as random killings, even before the Nazis began massive deportations of the inhabitants from the Ghetto's Umschlagplatz to the Treblinka extermination camp during the Grossaktion Warschau, part of the countrywide Operation Reinhard. Between Tisha B'Av (July 23) and Yom Kippur (September 21) of 1942, about 254,000 Ghetto residents (or at least 300,000 by different accounts)[8] were sent to Treblinka and murdered there.[9] Polish resistance officer Jan Karski reported to the Western governments in 1942 on the situation in the Ghetto and on the extermination camps. |

That Jews and Israelis are part of a global criminal organization to extort and threaten the world was an argument popularized by the real Nazis - the ones who really created and ran the actual Warsaw ghetto. Well if the shoe fits they should wear it. No where in the above statement do I claim that "all Jews" or "all Israelis are part of a global criminal organization. But there certainly is a global criminal organization according to lots of evidence. (Mainly that would be Central Banking, The Global Elite, The Crown, the Fed, Secret Societies, to name a few.) To claim that there are no Jews participating in this criminal organization is ridiculi. There are plenty. The Bush family is part of that criminal organization. This criminal organization was also fully involved with supporting Hitler and the Nazi's. George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism. His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy. |

The problem with your argument is that you try to take Zionism and equate it to the mafia and identify this Israeli national movement with your global conspiracy theory. That is like saying that since George Bush is part of your conspiracy theory that everyone in his country - EVERYONE in the U.S. who considers themselves patriotic Americans is part of this wacky delusion! Hey - powerful people can be corrupt and manipulative for sure. But it doesn't encompass the whole state of Israel and their national movement Zionism. Of course the whole conspiracy theory is pretty much the spawn of too many late night B-movie fests. But trying to resurrect the discredited jewish global domination theories of the Nazis and white supremacists is "a bit much". ![]() |

The problem with your argument is that you try to take Zionism
and equate it to the mafia and identify this Israeli national movement with your global conspiracy theory. The global criminal network is a lot bigger than Zionism. The interest in the Middle east, I suspect, has to do with some hidden secrets involving the temple mount, religion, and the true history of the world. That is like saying that since George Bush is part of your
conspiracy theory that everyone in his country - EVERYONE in the U.S. who considers themselves patriotic Americans is part of this wacky delusion! This is not "my conspiracy theory." This information has been verified and has been on the Internet for a long time. That is why America and Americans are hated by many people. They see how we support Zionism, capitalism, globalization, Israel etc. I have said before, that I am sure there are plenty of citizens of Israel, like in America, who are just as ignorant about what is going on. Hey - powerful people can be corrupt and manipulative for sure. But it doesn't encompass the whole state of Israel and their
national movement Zionism. The over-all movement of Zionism is basically wrong because of their tactics of known war crimes to accomplish their goals. Of course the whole conspiracy theory is pretty much the spawn of too many late night B-movie fests. But trying to resurrect the discredited jewish global domination theories of the Nazis and white supremacists is "a bit much". That kind of generalization and labeling is only done by people who do not bother to open their eyes and look at facts and at what is actually going on. It is certainly not "a bit much" if you look at what is going on and look at the facts and start putting two and two together. The fact that Israel has a campaign where they are paying people to post good things about Israel on blogs across the Internet in an attempt to battle the poor press they are getting shows you where they are coming from and how they truly operate. They control a lot of the media, but the Internet, not so much. Hahaha But you can bet they are working on solving that problem too. They will fail. Too many eyes are on them. |

It is such an extremely worn out tactic to call everything a "crazy conspiracy theory" in an effort discredit facts and the truth that it is starting to sound like a desperate last resort. I really get tired of people glossing over valid news and information and facts and brushing it off with 'conspiracy theory' remarks as if they think that is "evidence." Its not evidence. Its propaganda technique. It is name calling.

We waged war on the indians long after the revolution was over. You know.. Rounding up what was left and planting them on reservations. Stealing their land.. I guess Israel can make amends by allowing the arabs to build casinos in gaza. |

They wouldn't do that until they got the land and the power they wanted. Sort of like America did. But you do have a very good comparison and you are right. However that doesn't make it right for Israel to do what it is doing, or for America to help. Its all about the spread of global capitalism. Greed, profit etc. It is not about making life better or helping improve humanity. If I had lived at the time when Custer was slaughtering Indians I would have wanted him arrested and hanged. This is a world of conquest, war and greed. |

I really get tired of people glossing over valid news and information and facts and brushing it off with 'conspiracy theory' remarks as if they think that is "evidence." Its not evidence. Its propaganda technique. It is name calling. I am not name calling. I have given you plenty of evidence, citations, book references etc. Which have explained in excruciating detail. It is really unsupportable to accuse an entire country and it's national movement Zionism as being part of a global conspiracy which the Nazis popularized ~ that a vanishingly small number of Jews are conspiring to rule the world. ![]() BTW, I have certainly not been paid by anyone to voice my opinions. But if you give me your credit card number I may take a donation. ![]() I might add I find it flattering that you think my writings and arguments are of such excellent quality! The evidence is cited in the Wiki article on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion for example - exhaustive evidence known for almost a century showing that this conspiracy theory was a fabrication from several fictional stories. Being anti-Zionist because you think a Zionist may be involved in a false conspiracy theory to rule the world is like being anti-American because an American such as George Bush is part of a conspiracy theory you believe to rule the world. Would you call yourself anti-American because you have said you believe George Bush is part of the conspiracy? Maybe you would!? ![]() But it would not be reasonable to label all U.S. supporters that way - all pro-Americans that way. It would be "overbroad". ![]() Especially since it is a debunked conspiracy theory. |

Hey, lets all hate on Israel becasue they live among the wolves of Islam who are out to kill them like Hitler was!
Sorry but Israel has every right to be paranoid! How many times was Israel and the people of Israel targeted through peace demonstrations, peace negotiations, and religious holidays? How many times has Israel tried to do their part for peace only to have rockets and artillery fired on them? So what Israel suppressed a "Peaceful" demonstration. How many times has Israel suffered for doing the right thing? Way to many! |

Bring our troops home. 1. The USS Liberty - It was a mistake. Israel has apologized profusely for it. 2. U.S. and Israel did not fail to investigate. 3. Who is watching Israel? EVERYBODY ![]() 4. Why are we in the Mideast? Our troops are in the Middle East to protect U.S, interests in the short term and long term. This means monitoring oil, terrorists, protecting our allies, intelligence gathering, hunting al-Qaida etc. 5. Supporting Israel? Cause they are doing all the right things - protect and respect human rights, have a lovely democratic society, tolerate all religions and men and women treated fairly alike. Israel has assisted us in our efforts economically, militarily, technologically and ideologically. Plus they need our help because they are surrounded by terrorists trying to destroy them. See? No conspiracy necessary. The answers are obvious and simple. ![]() |

Keep watching them.... carefully. They will make more mistakes. Who is Al-Qaida? answer: anyone who protests against the empire. Al-Qaida is a made-up enemy. It is created by the empire. ![]() Here is a brief listing of the made-up attacks from the made-up enemy created by the empire... courtesy of the Wiki ![]() Early 1990s On December 29, 1992,[1] the first attack by Al Qaeda was carried out in Aden, Yemen.[2][3][4] That evening, a bomb went off at the Gold Mohur hotel, where U.S. troops had been staying while en-route to Somalia, though the troops had already left when the bomb exploded. The bombers targeted a second hotel, the Aden Movenpick, where they believed American troops might also be staying. That bomb detonated prematurely in the hotel car park, around the same time as the other bomb explosion, killing two Australian tourists.[1][3] Bin Laden later claimed responsibility for the 1992 Yemen attack.[2] [edit] February 1993 World Trade Center The 1993 World Trade Center bombing occurred on February 26, 1993, when Ramzi Yousef parked a rented van full of explosives in the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center. The explosion claimed six victims, and over one thousand people were wounded. Ramzi Yousef, the nephew of 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, had trained in Afghanistan, although Khalid Sheikh Mohammed did not join Al Qaeda until 1998. Yousef worked in cooperation with the blind sheikh Abdul Rahman who was living across the Hudson, in Jersey City, at the time of the attack. The FBI later turned up evidence that Osama bin Laden provided financial support to the blind sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman.[5] [edit] 1994 Bojinka, Philippine Airlines Flight 434 Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (prior to joining with Al Qaeda) planned Operation Bojinka, a plot to destroy airplanes in mid-Pacific flight using explosives.[6] They tested their attacks in November 1994 on the Philippine Airlines Flight 434, which also involved Abu Sayyaf (a Southeast Asia affiliate of Al Qaeda).[7] An apartment fire in Manila, Philippines exposed the plan before it could be carried out. Yousef was arrested, but Mohammed evaded capture until 2003.[8] [edit] 1998 U.S.-embassy bombings In August 1998, Al-Qaeda operatives carried out the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing more than 200 people and injuring more than 5,000 others.[9] [edit] 2000 USS Cole bombing USS Cole after it was bombed In December 1999 and into 2000, al-Qaeda planned attacks against U.S. and Israeli tourists visiting Jordan for millennial celebrations; however, Jordanian authorities thwarted the planned attacks and put 28 suspects on trial. Part of this plot included the planned bombing of LAX, but this plot was foiled when bomber Ahmed Ressam was caught at the US-Canadian border with explosives in the trunk of his car. Al-Qaeda also planned to attack the USS The Sullivans on January 3, 2000, but the effort failed due to too much weight being put on the small boat meant to bomb the ship. Despite the setback with the USS The Sullivans, al-Qaeda succeeded in bombing a U.S. warship in October 2000 with the USS Cole bombing. German police foiled a plot to bomb the Christmas market near the Strasbourg Cathedral in Strasbourg, France in December 2000. Rizal Day Bombings in the Philippines (2000) [edit] September 11, 2001, attacks Main article: September 11 attacks The most destructive act ascribed to al-Qaeda was the series of attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. These attacks destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon in a series of suicide hijacking of airplanes. Osama bin Laden did take credit for the attacks days before the 2004 Presidential Election.[citation needed] [edit] October 2002 Bali bombings Main article: 2002 Bali bombings The 2002 Bali bombings occurred on 12 October 2002 in the tourist district of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. The attack was the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Indonesia, killing 202 people, (including 88 Australians, and 38 Indonesian citizens).[10] A further 240 people were injured. [edit] November 2003 Istanbul attacks Main article: 2003 Istanbul bombings The 2003 Istanbul bombings were four truck bomb attacks carried out on November 15, 2003 and November 20, 2003, in Istanbul, Turkey, leaving 57 people dead, and 700 wounded. Several men have been convicted for their involvement. [edit] February 2004 SuperFerry 14 bombing The 2004 SuperFerry 14 bombing on February 27, 2004, was an Islamic terrorist attack that resulted in the sinking of the ferry SuperFerry 14 and the deaths of 116 people in the Philippines. [edit] March 11, 2004 Madrid train bombings Main article: 2004 Madrid train bombings It is thought that al-Qaeda was responsible for the bombing of the Madrid commuter train system, 911 days after the 9/11 attacks. However, the group did not claim any responsibility of this attack. [edit] May 2004 Khobar massacre Al-Qaeda is believed to have been responsible for the 2004 Khobar massacre, carried out on May 29, 2004.[11] [edit] July 7, 2005 London transport bombings Four members of Al-Qaeda, three of British Pakistani descent and one of British Jamaican descent attacked Londons public transport on July 7, 2005. Three bombs were detonated on the London Underground and one on a double decker bus. The attacks took place between 8.50 am and 9.47 am. 56 people died during the attacks (including 4 terrorists) and around 700 were injured. [edit] July 23, 2005 Sharm el-Sheikh attacks The 2005 Sharm el-Sheikh attacks attacks were a series of terror attacks on July 23, 2005, perpetrated by an Islamist organization, targeting the Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh, located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. [edit] November 9, 2005 Amman hotel bombing Suicide bombers merged into a wedding crowd in Hayatt Amman Hotel, with two other hotels targeted in the same night leaving 60 people dead and hundreds injured. [edit] April 2007 Algiers bombings Al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb claimed to have been responsible for the April 11, 2007 Algiers bombings.

Any time anyone fights back against the empire or bombs anything, including Israeli's own Mossad trained in black ops terrorism (as the CIA also is.) they blame it on the so-called "Al-Qaida" or what ever other enemy they are creating
You really haven't caught on to that? ![]() One such attack in Mexico, the Mossad black op agents were actually caught, and of course they were released! A lot of money and bribes were no doubt exchanged in that deal. Anyone can put a hood over their face, commit terrorism, and claim to be part of some "powerful terrorist" group. Usually they do this because they are not as all powerful or scary as they would like you to believe or they are just Mossad or the CIA trying to stir up propaganda. You see, if the people aren't "scared" and "terrified" they would not give away all their rights to the government so they can feel safe. It is to the advantage of the people in power to keep the people terrified. They are fear mongers. War on communism. War on Drugs. War on terror. There must always be a "war" on something so they can justify their jobs and misdirect the people's attention to their theft of our property. The banks will fail, Homes will be foreclosed on, and guess who gets your property? Probably China or Japan because of the national debt that we can't pay. How many paychecks away from losing your home are you or do you have it all paid off? Guess what? Paid off or not, you don't really own it. |
