Anti-Israel Jewish Voices Speak Louder

CAIRO – Sick and tired of blind support for Israel's policy of aggressions by their representative body, more than 130 high-profile British Jews launched a new body on Monday, February 5, to make their voice heard.



"As a Jew, I feel a particular duty to oppose the injustice that is done to Palestinians," psychologist Susie Orbach, a founding member of the Independent Jewish Voices (IJV), told The Independent.



"... The Israeli government does not speak for me."

How Gaza Offends Us All

By Jennifer Loewenstein



02/13/07 "ICH " -- -- AN OPENED JAW with yellowed teeth gaped out of its bloodied shroud.


The rest of the head parts were wrapped in a plastic bag placed atop the jaw and nostrils, as if to be close to the face to which it once belonged.



The bag was red from the pieces stuffed inside it. Below the jaw was a human neck slit open midway down: a fleshy, wet wound smiling pink and oozing out from the browned skin around it, the neck still linked to the body below it.



Above him, in the morgue’s upper freezer, lay a dead woman, her red hennaed hair visible for the first time to strange men around her.



More red plastic wrapped around an otherwise absent chin. She was dead because she demonstrated outside a mosque in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, where more than 60 men sheltered during the artillery onslaught by Israeli tanks and cannons.


…Who the hell cares about a million and a half poverty-stricken Gazans and their dust, their sand, their stinking, crumbling heap of a disaster area homeland?




What a terrible shame it is that Gazans have not yet attained the status of human in the eyes of the Western powers, for the resistance there will continue to be an enigma until this changes. For now, however, the slaughter will continue unabated.


Jennifer Loewenstein is assistant director of the Middle Eastern Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians Detailed
in Pappe’s New Book


Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/ pa-lendman090207.htm


Ilan Pappe is an Israeli historian and senior lecturer at Haifa University ...


He proves from official records how the Israeli state came into being with blood on its hands from lands forcibly seized from its Palestinian inhabitants who'd lived on it for hundreds of years previously.

Since the 1940s, they were ethnically cleansed and slaughtered without mercy so their homeland would become one for Jews alone ...



He details how David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, met with leading Zionists and young Jewish military officers on March 10, 1948, to finalize plans to ethnically cleanse Palestine that unfolded in the months that followed...

Video Shows Palestinian Humiliation

http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2007-03/24/images/01.ram



The film showed an Israeli military dog unleashed by Israeli soldiers just bite and attack an elderly Palestinian woman in Bethlehem in a shocking and terrifying scene.

Israeli soldiers appeared indifferent to screams of the terrified woman before one of them finally moved to release her arm from the dog's mouth.

The video also showed two Israeli soldiers harshly assaulting a 17-year-old Palestinian teenager at a checkpoint in the town of Hawwara in southern Nablus.


Apartheid

Barghuthi said the Israeli policies were worse than South Africa's past apartheid.

"The cameras showed the worst and most ugly acts the Palestinians are facing at the hands of Israeli soldiers at the barriers," he said.

"The occupation soldiers are torturing the Palestinians."



"This behavior", Barghuthi said, "shows that the Israeli policy is worse than South Africa's notorious past apartheid as deemed by former US president Jimmy Carter."





In early December, Carter, a 2002 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, released his new book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" in which he blasted "an enormous imprisonment wall" Israel is building in the West Bank.



"when Israel does occupy this territory deep within the West Bank, and connects the 200-or-so settlements with each other, with a road, and then prohibits the Palestinians from using that road, or in many cases even crossing the road, this perpetrates even worse instances of apartness, or apartheid, than we witnessed even in South Africa," Carter wrote.




Barghuthi said that the Palestinians are suffering daily humiliations at Israeli checkpoints.

"This is a well-established Israeli policy against the Palestinian civilians," he stressed.


"The Palestinians are forced to stop at more than 525 Israeli checkpoints established in the West Bank."




The minister pointed out that 61 Palestinian women were forced to give birth at Israeli barriers as they could not reach the hospitals.

According to the UN estimates, a total of 36 Palestinian babies have died because their mothers were detained during labor at Israeli checkpoints.

Barghuthi called for trying Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz for the daily humiliation of the Palestinians.



He said that the Palestinian government will seek the help of the international organizations to intervene to stop the Israeli racist practices against the Palestinian civilians.







 
Things could have been a LOT worse.

Does anyone recall how Ancient Israel was established?

By the blood of innocent Ancient Canaanites like those that live Jericho.

Where is Jericho?

In the West Bank on Palestinian Land.

The ancient Israelis massacred thousands of innocent people to establish their own kingdom.

We should all be glad that event hasn't re-occured in the same text.

And by the way, things are much worse in Iraq.
