Feeling Hopeful
Praise Jimmy Carter.
He's the only one telling the truth about Israel and Palestine. Well, the only one in the establishment telling the truth.
And, naturally, the establishment has turned on him. The Dems even had John Conyers attack him in order to distance themselves from Carter's balanced viewpoint.
Neither Dems or Repubs have the spine to say anything even remotely critical of Israel.
The title of Carter's book says it all: "Palestine Peace Not Apartheid."
Once the pro-Israeli forces get over themselves and the fact that anyone had the audacity to tell the truth, once they stop implying that Carter is anti-semitic, once they have to accept Carter's freedom and democracy, they will then try to refute what he said instead of saying he should not have said it.
I suppose when that time comes, if it comes, the pro-Israeli forces will say that Israel is not apartheid, that they even allow their Arab minority citizens to vote, something blacks in South Africa were not allowed to do under white rule.
Of course, one reason blacks in South Africa were not allowed to vote is because they were the majority. Israel can allow their minority Arabs to vote because they are the minority. Indeed, Israel ensures they continue to be a minority by not allowing Palestinian refugees to have their land back. This was the land that the Zionist terrorists brutally stole from the Palestinians, according to Benny Morris, a Zionist historian.
Another Zionist, Ami Isseroff, describes this brutality: At Deir Yassin, members of the Stern Gang and Irgun, Jewish terrorists, executed their prisoners and shot and killed old men, women and children at close range. Their purpose was to create terror among the Palestinian villages and a mass exodus which would transform Jews from the minority to the majority in Palestine. And Deir Yassin and many other such massacres and terrorist attacks did make this transformation/pogrom a success.
Perhaps the Jewish terrorists had learned how to do such pogroms from the Europeans who did it to them.
The Palestinians refer to this pogrom as "The Tragedy" or Al Nakba.
Over and over again the US corporate media tells us about the Holocaust. But they have never told us about the Tragedy.
Indeed the Tragedy continues to this very day with implementation of apartheid by the Israeli state.
Not only are Palestinian refugees not allowed to return to their land in Israel, but they are not even allowed to return to the Palestine territory, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinians fight back and seek justice the only way they can, with the only weapon they have, themselves. Suicide bombers.
On the rare occasion when a suicide bomber strikes Israel, the US corporate media dramatizes it. But Israeli soldiers are killing Palestinian civilians and militants quite frequently and this does not seem to get the same kind of dramatic coverage from our corporate media. I think that is because it's only sand blacks who are being killed.
Of course, the Palestinians also have those rockets that can barely hit the side of a barn it seems. It seems as if very few Israelis have been killed or maimed by these futile rocket attacks. But that is all the Palestinians have to fight back with; rockets and their own bodies.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers hide in their tanks, choppers and F-16s, killing Palestinian civilians and militants in abundance with relatively no risk to themselves.
But our corporate media says that the Palestinians are the terrorists.
I don't think Israelis are tortured legally in Israeli prisons as are Palestinians. The Israelis are only supposed to torture "ticking time bombs." But I hear that in practice this barbarism extends even to illegal Palestinian immigrants who were just trying to find jobs in Israel. I heard this from an Israeli soldier on the net who now identifies himself as one of those soldiers protesting the occupation of Palestine. Hence, the prison system of Israel is also part of this apartheid system.
Another form of apartheid is the Israeli land purchase system: the Jewish state owns 92% of Israel's land and sells it to no one. I think they lease it but they don't sell it.
Hence, the Jewish people control 92% of the land. I'm sure the Israelis would never allow their Arab citizens to control 92% of Israel's land. This is how Israel codifies their apartheid. But they tell the world that neither Arabs or Jews can buy 92% of the land. This makes them sound fair and equitable and not like an apartheid state, even though they are an apartheid state.
The reason for this farcical public relations is because America gives Israel $3 to $5 billion a year and they don't want us to feel too guilty about giving so much cash to an apartheid state.
Indeed, when apartheid was the law in South Africa, Israel was one of the few countries which had good relations with South Africa. South Africa's racist separation did not pose any problems for the moral conscience of apartheid Israel.
The theft of Palestinian land continues to this day with the building of settlements, roads to those settlements, military checkpoints on those roads and to protect those settlements, and the brutality of the Israeli army/terrorists.
I don't think Jewish citizens of Israel have to worry about their land being gobbled up by Israeli policies like the ones I just mentioned.
President Carter also points out that the Israelis' wall-fence has been built totally on Palestinian land and only separates Palestinians from Palestinians. That wall was not used to gobble up Jewish homes or land and it was not used to separate Jews from Jews. There is also some question as to whether that wall-fence will provide Israelis with the security it was supposedly built for.
There is also some question as to whether the Israeli army goes after Jewish terrorists the same way it goes after Palestinian terrorists. I don't recall the Israeli army killing Jewish civilians while going after Jewish terrorists like Kahane Chai, Gush Emunim, the Jewish Defense League and the Committee for Safe Streets.
I saw one film by an Egyptian woman where an Israeli tank fired a shell into a Palestinian apartment building. I don't know for sure but it appeared as if the tank did this without provocation in broad daylight. I surely have never seen an Israeli tank fire a shell into an apartment building full of Jews.
In the same film I saw a Jewish sniper firing ostensibly at Palestinian civilians. The Israeli army then didn't seek to protect the Palestinian civilians by blowing up the sniper's entire neighborhood. Again, different solutions for different civilians, apartheid.
The Egyptian woman's film also had her telling us about an incident. She didn't film the actual event because it took place years ago:
A young, foolish Palestinian teenager decided to refuse to let Israeli soldiers into his family's home. The Israeli soldiers did not take kindly to this and decided to punish the teenager for his insolence by beating him so badly that he no longer can have children.
The main point of the Egyptian woman's film was not political. It was about a Palestinian man living in America who decided to go back to Palestine to get a wife. He then brought his new bride with him backto America.
The man was that teenager beaten by the Israeli soldiers. His new wife knew that he could not have children but she still married him. I think the man was 45 at the time of the film.
Anyway, my point is that I don't think the Israeli soldiers would similarly punish a Jewish teenager. In fact, you had young Jews dropping what may have been acid on Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip. But it looked as if the Israeli soldiers maintained their professionalism throughout that entire affair. I don't think they used excessive force, beating Jewish teenagers into impedance. So this would be another demonstration of apartheid.
Anyway, this all adds up to the fact that saying Israel is apartheid is not anti-semitic. It is the truth.
The truth is not anti-semitic.

zionist terrorists brutally stole the land of the pals, says benny morris, a zionist historian.
http://www.merip.org/mer/mer230/230_beinin.html -
What a lie. Land was not brutally taken from palestinians, they left their land of their own free will because the Arab countries that were about to attack the newly formed Israel in 1948 told them to leave so that they could come in and decimate all of the Jews. The palistinians could then have their land back. Guess what - it didn't quite happen that way. So now they want their land back? Is this a joke? If it is, its a very bad one.

Obama's pixie dust is wearing off.
A few in the corporate media are finally starting to reveal some details about this man's judgment.
I speak of Obama's long association with his spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Obama says he didn't know Wright was far, far left. While that is hard to believe, it says that Obama is not a very discerning judge of character. And it shows poor judgment for a presidential candidate to allow such an extremist to serve on his campaign.
Rev. Wright says AIDS was created by the US government to kill black people.
Come on!
"I didn't know about that man, Rev. Wright." Is that what Obama is telling us?
But there is more to come.
Obama's friend, William Ayers, is an unrepentent terrorist.
An Obama fund raiser, Rashid Khalidi, supports terrorists.
Wait till these tidbits come out. Maybe they won't release them till after Obama wins the nomination.
These associations with radicals show that Obama does not yet have the judgment nor the experience to be at the top of the ticket.
