to be the victims of jihad.
The history of political Islam is the destruction of Christianity
in the Middle East, Egypt, Turkey and North Africa.
Half of Christianity was lost.
Before Islam, North Africa was the southern part of Europe (part of the Roman Empire).
Around 60 million Christians were slaughtered during the jihadic conquest.
Half of the glorious Hindu civilization was annihilated and 80 million Hindus killed.
The first Western Buddhists
were the Greeks descended from Alexander the Great’s army
in what is now Afghanistan. Jihad destroyed all of Buddhism along the silk route.
About 10 million Buddhists died.
The conquest of Buddhism is the practical result of pacifism. Zoroastrianism was eliminated from Persia.
The Jews became permanent dhimmis throughout Islam.
In Africa over 120 million Christians and animists have died over the last 1400 years of jihad.

Approximately 270 million nonbelievers died
over the last 1400 years for the glory of political Islam.
These are the Tears of Jihad which are not taught in any school.”

Tears of Jihad

These figures area rough estimate of the death of non-Muslims by the political act of jihad.

Thomas Sowell [Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188] estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East. For every slave captured many others died. Estimates of this collateral damage vary. The renowned missionary David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached a plantation, five others were killed in the initial raid or died of illness and privation on the forced march.[Woman’s Presbyterian Board of Missions, David Livingstone, p. 62, 1888] Those who were left behind were the very young, the weak, the sick and the old. These soon died since the main providers had been killed or enslaved. So, for 25 million slaves delivered to the market, we have an estimated death of about 120 million people. Islam ran the wholesale slave trade in Africa.

The number of Christians martyred by Islam is 9 million [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-10] . A rough estimate by Raphael Moore in History of Asia Minor is that another 50 million died in wars by jihad. So counting the million African Christians killed in the 20th century we have:

Koenard Elst in Negationism in India gives an estimate of 80 million Hindus killed in the total jihad against India. [Koenard Elst, Negationism in India, Voice of India, New Delhi, 2002, pg. 34.] The country of India today is only half the size of ancient India, due to jihad. The mountains near India are called the Hindu Kush, meaning the “funeral pyre of the Hindus.”

Buddhists do not keep up with the history of war. Keep in mind that in jihad only Christians and Jews were allowed to survive as dhimmis (servants to Islam); everyone else had to convert or die. Jihad killed the Buddhists in Turkey, Afghanistan, along the Silk Route, and in India. The total is roughly 10 million. [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-1.]

Oddly enough there were not enough Jews killed in jihad to significantly affect the totals of the Great Annihilation. The jihad in Arabia was 100 percent effective, but the numbers were in the thousands, not millions. After that, the Jews submitted and became the dhimmis (servants and second class citizens) of Islam and did not have geographic political power.

Note to Muslims about the overview violence by Muhammad:

If you are rejecting hatred, fascism & violence against the infidels [no matter on which excuse a violence is based on], you can interpret the actions by Muhammad as you wish to interpret it, still refrain from being “inspired” by these events towards radicalsim.

ACTIONS, Speaking even Louder than the Words

…from the Muslim perspective using their own writings, let us examine some additional actions that Muhammad ordered from 1 A.H. up to 6 A.H. There are more incidents we could reference, but for the sake of time and space we have to limit the amount of detailed information. This material is presented to facilitate honest evaluation and judgment of Muhammad himself, because it is only by his actions that he can and should be judged.

While reading the incidents below, we should continue to ask ourselves if real Islam, i.e. Muhammad’s Islam, allows aggressive violence and terrorism. The following 13 events and incidents (occurring in the last few years of Muhammad’s life) will be examined:

…cruelty and guile made themselves evident at the Battle of Badr (2 A.H., 624 C.E.) – the first battle he fought, The Battle of Jebel Uhud (3 A.H., 625 C.E.) The Battle of the Trench (or Ditch) Battle of Mu’ta (Roman Mutas) with the Roman Empire in 7 A.H. (629 C.E.)

American Thinker: Muhammad and Massacre of the Qurayza
In AD 627, Muhammad committed an atrocity against the last remaining major tribe of Jews in Medina: the Qurayza. He beheaded the men and the pubescent boys and enslaved the women and children. In doing this, he wiped an entire tribe ‘off the map’ to use the recent language of the President of Iran.

627 C.E. The Jewish tribe of Qurayza was raided by Muhammad. Some 700 men were beheaded. Edward Gibbon, in his classic history, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire described the aftermath of the assault:

“Seven hundred Jews were dragged in chains to the market-place of the city; they descended alive into the grave prepared for their execution and burial and the apostle beheld with an inflexible eye the slaughter of his helpless victims. Their sheep and camels were inherited by the Musulmans: three hundred cuirasses, five hundred pikes, a thousand lances, composed the most useful portion of the spoil.”

Gibbon was a respected historian and not some Zionist. But even the Arab’s own historians make no pretensions about their military conquests. There was no benevolence or spreading enlightenment as a motivation. It was all about rape and plunder. The History of Al-Tabari, written in the 10th century clearly outlines (pg 166, 175) the slaughter and pillaging and rapacious motivations of these forces.

Even in recent history, the Arab tribes under the direction of Lawrence of Arabia weren’t motivated to attack the Turks for anything other than simple plunder and gold.

It was this politics that was at the root of the split of the followers of Abu Sufyan who called themselves Sunnis and those of Mohammed thru Ali, Hassan and Husain who called themselves Shias. (Arab historians deliberately mislead us when they attribute the motherhood of these two sons of Ali to Fatima, another of Ali’s wives, and the daughter of Mohammed. But the reason for such attribution is to keep the ancestry of Husain and Hasan purely to Arabs and to suppress the Persian element of their ancestry. The historical fact is that Shahrbanu the Persian princess was the mother of Hassan and Hussain.)

What Is the Difference Between Sunni and Shiite Muslims–and Why Does It Matter?

Updated 12/18/06

The Islam religion was founded by Mohammed in the seventh century. In 622 he founded the first Islamic state, a theocracy in Medina, a city in western Saudi Arabia located north of Mecca. There are two branches of the religion he founded.

The Sunni branch believes that the first four caliphs–Mohammed’s successors–rightfully took his place as the leaders of Muslims. They recognize the heirs of the four caliphs as legitimate religious leaders. These heirs ruled continuously in the Arab world until the break-up of the Ottoman Empire following the end of the First World War.

Shiites, in contrast, believe that only the heirs of the fourth caliph, Ali, are the legitimate successors of Mohammed. In 931 the Twelfth Imam disappeared. This was a seminal event in the history of Shiite Muslims. According to R. Scott Appleby, a professor of history at the University of Notre Dame, “Shiite Muslims, who are concentrated in Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, [believe they] had suffered the loss of divinely guided political leadership” at the time of the Imam’s disappearance. Not “until the ascendancy of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1978″ did they believe that they had once again begun to live under the authority of a legitimate religious figure.

Another difference between Sunnis and Shiites has to do with the Mahdi, “the rightly-guided one” whose role is to bring a just global caliphate into being. As historian Timothy Furnish has written, “The major difference is that for Shi`is he has already been here, and will return from hiding; for Sunnis he has yet to emerge into history: a comeback v. a coming out, if you will.”

The War Against Global Jihadism

…that the war against global jihadism is more than a military conflict; it is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st century. We are still in the early years of the struggle. The civilized world will either rise to the challenge and prevail against this latest form of barbarism, or grief and death will visit us and other innocents on a massive scale.

Given the stakes involved in this war and how little is known, even now, about what is at the core of this conflict, it is worth reviewing in some detail the nature of our enemy – including disaggregating who they are (Shia and Sunni extremists), what they believe and why they believe it, and the implications of that for America and the West.
The seminal event in Shia history is the martyrdom in 680 of Ali’s son Hussein, who led an uprising against the “illegitimate” caliph (72 of Hussein’s followers were killed as well). “For the Shia, Hussein came to symbolize resistance to tyranny,” according to Masood Farivar. “His martyrdom is commemorated to this day as the central act of Shia piety.”

Who is the True Godfather of Islamic Fundamentalism? His name is Ibn Taymiyyah, or Taq ad-Din Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, and he lived from 1263 to 1328. His name by birth was Ahmad ibn Abdul-Halim ibn Abdas-Salaam. This individual could be considered as the real godfather of fundamentalism. Maududi borrowed extensively from Taymiyyah’s writings.

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/index.php? id=1194248

Wahabism:
Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab’…
His instructions in the matter of extending his religious teaching by force were strict. All unbelievers (i.e. Moslems who did not accept his teaching, as well as Christians, etc.) were to be put to death. Immediate entrance into Paradise was promised to his soldiers who fell in battle, and it is said that each soldier was provided with a written order from Ibn ‘Abd ul-Wahhab to the gate-keeper of heaven to admit him forthwith. In this way the new teaching was established in the greater part of Arabia until its power was broken by Mehemet Ali. Ibn’Abd ul-Wahhab is said to have died in 1791.

The teaching of ul-Wahhab was founded on that of Ibn Taimiyya (1263-1328), who was of the school of Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Copies of some of Ibn Taimiyya’s works made by ul-Wahhab are now extant in Europe, and show a close study of the writer. Ibn Taimiyya, although a Hanbalite by training, refused to be bound by any of the four schools, and claimed the power of a mujtahid, i.e. of one who can give independent decisions. These decisions were based on the Koran, which, like Ibn Hazm, he accepted in a literal sense, on the Sunna and Qiyds (analogy). He protested strongly against all the innovations of later times, and denounced as idolatry the visiting of the sacred shrines and the invocation of the saints or of Mahomet himself. He was also a bitter opponent of the Sufis of his day.

The Wahhabites also believe in the literal sense of the Koran and the necessity of deducing one’s duty from it apart from the decisions of the four schools… The severe simplicity of the Wahhabis has been remarked by travellers in central Arabia. They attack all luxury, loose administration of justice, all laxity against infidels, addiction to wine, impurity and treachery.

The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was followed by the annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still called the Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter. The Bahmani sultans (1347 -1480) in central India made it a rule too kill 100,000 captives in a single day, and many more on other occasions. The conquest of the Vijayanagar empire in 1564 left the capital plus large areas of Karnataka depopulated. And so on.

According to some calculations, the Indian (subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanate).

Sally Rovers incident, at the height of North African Arab Muslim pirates’ crimes against Christians, mainly British

On my travels for the past few days, I have been reading a book which
tells the story of a quite astonishing part of British history of which I
was previously unaware. In ‘White Gold’, Giles Milton records the
appalling details — gleaned,it appears, from a wealth of historical
documents including diaries and letters — of a seaborne Islamic jihad against Britain which lasted for no
less than two centuries.

From the early seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, thousands of
British men women and children were kidnapped by Arab
corsairs and sold into slavery in Morocco where they were kept in
conditions of unspeakable barbarism. The astounding thing is that
these British victims were not merely seized at sea where they ran the
gauntlet of such pirates in places such as the Straits of Gibraltar. They
were actually abducted from Britain itself.

Corsairs from a place in Morocco called Sale — who became known in
Britain as the ‘Sally Rovers’ — sailed up the Cornish coast in July 1625,
for example, came ashore dressed in djellabas and wielding damascene
scimitars, burst into the parish church at Mount’s Bay and dragged out 60
men women and children whom they shipped off to Morocco. Thousands more
Britons were seized from their villages or their ships and dispatched to
the hell-holes of the Moroccan slave pens, from where they were forced to
work all hours in appalling conditions building the vast palace of the
monstrous and psychopathic Sultan, Moulay Ismail, who
tortured and butchered them at whim. Most of them perished, but the
book records the survival of a tenacious Cornish boy Thomas Pellow, who
survived 23 years of this ordeal and whose descendant, Lord Exmouth,
finally ended the white slave trade when he destroyed Algiers in 1816.

The book makes clear that this assault upon the
British people (and upon Europeans and Americans who were similarly
seized) was a jihad. The Sally Rovers, writes Milton,
were called ‘al-ghuzat’– the term once used for the soldiers who
fought with the Prophet — and were hailed as religious warriors engaged
in a holy war against the infidel Christians who were pressurised to
convert to Islam under threat of hideous punishment. What is even
more striking was the response of the British crown. For almost two
centuries, it made only the most ineffectual attempts to rescue its
enslaved subjects. Those who had succumbed to the torture and inhumanity
of the Sultan and converted to Islam were deemed to be no longer British
and therefore outside the scope of any rescue. The pleas of Pellow’s
parents were simply brushed aside. Popular outrage forced successive Kings
to dispatch a series of feeble emissaries to try to get the Sultan to end
this vile traffic and release the slaves, all to no avail.

But this went on for virtually two centuries. For almost 200 years the
British state either sat on its hands or wrung them impotently while the
Islamic jihad seized, enslaved and butchered its people. And then it
appears, this staggering onslaught was all but airbrushed out of our
history.

The Barbary Coast ran 1,500 miles from the African side of the Straits of Gibraltar to the Gulf of Sirte in Libya. The rulers of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli nominally paid allegiance to the Ottoman sultan, but they were practically independent. Safe in their well-fortified port cities, with fundamentalist Islam as their guide and pretext, they sallied out into the sea and kidnapped Christians from Italy, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, as well as anyone they could take from any ship they could catch in the Mediterranean, including northern Europeans and Americans.

At one time, Algiers alone held as many as 25,000 white Christians as slaves. Wealthy captives usually could be ransomed. Others were enslaved, or held in chains, or tortured till they converted to Islam. Women who could not raise a ransom sometimes were raped and usually were married off to locals or sent to harems as concubines, after being fattened up.

The British Navy was incensed. In part, this was personal — seamen were frequent victims of the corsairs. But in part it was awareness of the role a superpower ought to play in the world. The British military men knew they had the ability to destroy these impudent slave-states, but their government lacked the will.

Who held power in this government? Liberal evangelicals — the two words were as firmly linked in that time and place as “conservative” and “fundamentalist” are in this. The mix of liberalism and Christianity was a potent force that accomplished much good in the world. Gertrude Himmelfarb’s “Roads to Modernity” is an indispensible book that tells this story.

But the liberal evangelicals exhibited an early example — perhaps the earliest I’ve seen — of a quality that has weakened their successors on so many occasions: I call it the altruistic double standard.

Though William Wilberforce and the other liberal evangelical MPs campaigned ceaselessly to abolish the slave trade, they meant by that only the enslavement of blacks by whites. They exhibited a sort of inverted Darwinism — doubly perverse — and took no interest in Christian slavery that had for its targets people most like themselves.

Some British citizens pleaded with the government to stamp out the Barbary Coast pirates. Admiral Nelson wrote in 1799: “My blood boils that I cannot chastise these pirates. They could not show themselves in the Mediterranean did not our country permit. Never let us talk about the cruelty of the African slave-trade while we permit such a horrid war.” But the government took no interest.

That’s where the Americans came in. The young country was not yet powerful enough to tackle the problem on its own, but its aggressive approach aroused the British government by shame and example. America consistently refused to ransome captives with money and munitions, as the Europeans often did. This is the source of Jefferson’s oft-quoted line, “Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute.” After 1803, Washington and the Barbary states were at war, in effect. U.S. forces usually won the direct battles and forced the Muslim rulers to sign treaties which they promptly broke as soon as the American ships sailed out of sight.

In 1815, after making peace with Britain, America began sending expeditions to the Barbary Coast again, forcing the rulers to hand over American slaves (and Europeans sometimes) and pay fines.

The British finally were roused to action. On an August afternoon in 1816, the British Navy broke the power of Algiers, sank almost its entire fleet, killed up to 8,000 soldiers and civilians, and damaged or destroyed every building in the city. The punishment didn’t entirely end the depredations, however. Only the French invasion and colonization of Algeria a generation later did that.

By Joshua E. London

At the dawn of a new century, a newly elected United States president was forced to confront a grave threat to the nation — an escalating series of unprovoked attacks on Americans by Muslim terrorists. Worse still, these Islamic partisans operated under the protection and sponsorship of rogue Arab states ruled by ruthless and cunning dictators.

Sluggish in recognizing the full nature of the threat, America entered the war well after the enemy’s call to arms. Poorly planned and feebly executed, the American effort proceeded badly and at great expense — resulting in a hastily negotiated peace and an equally hasty declaration of victory.

As timely and familiar as these events may seem, they occurred more than two centuries ago. The president was Thomas Jefferson, and the terrorists were the Barbary pirates. Unfortunately, many of the easy lessons to be plucked from this experience have yet to be fully learned.

The Barbary states, modern-day Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, are collectively known to the Arab world as the Maghrib (“Land of Sunset”), denoting Islam’s territorial holdings west of Egypt. With the advance of Mohammed’s armies into the Christian Levant in the seventh century, the Mediterranean was slowly transformed into the backwater frontier of the battles between crescent and cross. Battles raged on both land and sea, and religious piracy flourished.

The Maghrib served as a staging ground for Muslim piracy throughout the Mediterranean, and even parts of the Atlantic. America’s struggle with the terror of Muslim piracy from the Barbary states began soon after the 13 colonies declared their independence from Britain in 1776, and continued for roughly four decades, finally ending in 1815.

Although there is much in the history of America’s wars with the Barbary pirates that is of direct relevance to the current “war on terror,” one aspect seems particularly instructive to informing our understanding of contemporary Islamic terrorists. Very simply put, the Barbary pirates were committed, militant Muslims who meant to do exactly what they said.

Take, for example, the 1786 meeting in London of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Tripolitan ambassador to Britain. As American ambassadors to France and Britain respectively, Jefferson and Adams met with Ambassador Adja to negotiate a peace treaty and protect the United States from the threat of Barbary piracy.

These future United States presidents questioned the ambassador as to why his government was so hostile to the new American republic even though America had done nothing to provoke any such animosity. Ambassador Adja answered them, as they reported to the Continental Congress, “that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

Sound familiar?

The candor of that Tripolitan ambassador is admirable in its way, but it certainly foreshadows the equally forthright declarations of, say, the Shiite Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in the 1980s and the Sunni Osama bin Laden in the 1990s, not to mention the many pronouncements of their various minions, admirers, and followers. Note that America’s Barbary experience took place well before colonialism entered the lands of Islam, before there were any oil interests dragging the U.S. into the fray, and long before the founding of the state of Israel.

America became entangled in the Islamic world and was dragged into a war with the Barbary states simply because of the religious obligation within Islam to bring belief to those who do not share it. This is not something limited to “radical” or “fundamentalist” Muslims.

Which is not to say that such obligations lead inevitably to physical conflict, at least not in principle. After all peaceful proselytizing among various religious groups continues apace throughout the world, but within the teachings of Islam, and the history of Muslims, this is a well-established militant thread.

The Islamic basis for piracy in the Mediterranean was an old doctrine relating to the physical or armed jihad, or struggle.

To Muslims in the heyday of Barbary piracy, there were, at least in principle, only two forces at play in the world: the Dar al-Islam, or House of Islam, and the Dar al-Harb, or House of War. The House of Islam meant Muslim governance and the unrivaled authority of the sharia, Islam’s complex system of holy law. The House of War was simply everything that fell outside of the House of Islam — that area of the globe not under Muslim authority, where the infidel ruled. For Muslims, these two houses were perpetually at war — at least until mankind should finally embrace Allah and his teachings as revealed through his prophet, Mohammed.

The point of jihad is not to convert by force, but to remove the obstacles to the infidels’ conversion so that they shall either convert or become a dhimmi (a non-Muslim who accepts Islamic dominion) and pay the jizya, or poll tax. The goal is to bring all of the Dar al-Harb into the peace of the Dar al-Islam, and to eradicate unbelief. The Koran also promises rewards to those who fight in the jihad, plunder and glory in this world and the delights of paradise in the next.

Although the piratical activities of Barbary genuinely degenerated over the centuries from pure considerations of the glory of jihad to less grandiose visions of booty and state revenues, it is important to remember that the religious foundations of the institution of piracy remained central.

Even after it became commonplace for the pirate captains or their crew to be renegade Europeans, it was essential that these former Christians “turn Turk” and convert to Islam before they could be accorded the honor of engagement in al-jihad fil-bahr, the holy war at sea.

In fact, the peoples of Barbary continued to consider the pirates as holy warriors even after the Barbary rulers began to allow non-religious commitments to command their strategic use of piracy. The changes that the religious institution of piracy underwent were natural, if pathological. Just as the concept of jihad is invoked by Muslim terrorists today to legitimize suicide bombings of noncombatants for political gain, so too al-jihad fil-bahr, the holy war at sea, served as the cornerstone of the Barbary states’ interaction with Christendom.

In times of conflict, America tends to focus on personalities over ideas or movements, trying to play the man, not the board — as if capturing or killing Osama bin Laden, for example, would instantly end the present conflict. But such thinking loses sight of the fact that ideas have consequences. If one believes that God commands something, this belief is not likely to dissipate just because the person who elucidated it has been silenced. Islam, as a faith, is as essential a feature of the terrorist threat today as it was of the Barbary piracy over two centuries ago.

The Barbary pirates were not a “radical” or “fundamentalist” sect that had twisted religious doctrine for power and politics, or that came to recast aspects of their faith out of some form of insanity. They were simply a North African warrior caste involved in an armed jihad — a mainstream Muslim doctrine. This is how the Muslims understood Barbary piracy and armed jihad at the time, and, indeed, how the physical jihad has been understood since Mohammed revealed it as the prophecy of Allah.

Obviously, and thankfully, not every Muslim is obligated, or even really inclined, to take up this jihad. Indeed, many Muslims are loath to personally embrace this physical struggle. But that does not mean they are all opposed to such a struggle any more than the choice of many Westerners not to join the police force or the armed services means they do not support those institutions.

Whether “insurgents” are fighting in Iraq or “rebels” and “militants” are skirmishing in Chechnya or Hamas “activists” are detonating themselves in Israel, Westerners seem unwilling to bring attention to the most salient feature of all these groups: They claim to be acting in the name of Islam.

It is very easy to chalk it all up to regional squabbles, economic depression, racism, or post-colonial nationalistic self-determinism. Such explanations undoubtedly enter into part of the equation — they are already part of the propaganda that clouds contemporary analysis. But as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams came to learn back in 1786, the situation becomes a lot clearer when you listen to the stated intentions and motivations of the terrorists and take them at face value.

‘Pirates of Penzance’ redo?
James Zumwalt
Thursday, October 2, 2008

Soon after winning independence from England, the United States faced another war. Muslim pirates operating off North Africa’s Barbary Coast were seizing U.S., as well as European, ships sailing in international waters, holding them for tribute payment or plunder.

In 1786, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, meeting in London with Tripoli’s Muslim ambassador to Britain, inquired as to the reason for such Arab hostility. Acknowledging their attacks were unprovoked, the Tripoli ambassador explained it was their right and duty under the Koran as faithful Muslim followers to plunder and enslave the unfaithful – with those Muslims dying in the process going to paradise. To stop the attacks, the United States initially agreed to pay the Barbary pirates tribute, equal to about 20 percent of government revenues. Only later did an indignant United States launch two wars against them, ending in victory in 1815 and no further payments. European nations, acting individually and collectively, suppressed pirate activity as well, with the French conquest of Algiers in 1830 providing the last nail in the Barbary Pirates’ coffin.

Today, Muslim pirates again sail the seas off Africa’s coast. Mostly Somalis, these pirates have already attacked more than 60 ships this year in the vicinity of the Gulf of Aden – almost 5 times more than occurred all last year. Pirates gain confidence as owners prove willing to pay ransoms for the safe return of ships and crews, much like the United States first did with the Barbary Pirates.

Wahhabism is an extremist, puritanical, and violent movement that emerged, with the pretension of “reforming” Islam, in the central area of Arabia in the 18th century.

It was founded by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, who formed an alliance with the house of Saud, in which religious authority is maintained by the descendants of al-Wahhab and political power is held by the descendants of al-Saud: This is the Wahhabi-Saudi axis, which continues to rule today. From its beginning, Wahhabism declared the entirety of existing Islam to be unbelief, and traditional Muslims to be unbelievers subject to robbery, murder, and sexual violation. Wahhabism has always viewed Shia Muslims genocidally, as non-Muslims worthy of annihilation. Wahhabism has always attacked the traditional, spiritual Islam or Sufism that dominates Islam in the Balkans, Turkey, Central Asia, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Wahhabism and neo-Wahhabism (the latter being the doctrines of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and the Pakistani Islamists) are the main source of Islamic extremist violence in the world today. Wahhabism represents a distinct, ultraradical form of Islamism. Wahhabism is completely subsidized by the Saudi regime, using oil income.

Wahhabism has always maintained a two-faced policy regarding the West. It has always depended on the armed forces of the Christian nations — Britain, the U.S., and France — to secure its domination in the Arabian peninsula, while it violently attacks Jews, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists, as well as traditional Sunnis, Sufis, and Shias, throughout the rest of the world. Thus, the presence of U.S. troops guarding the Saudis did not begin with the Gulf War in 1991. From 1946 to 1962 the U.S. maintained an airbase in Saudi Arabia, and before that the British assisted the Wahhabi-Saudi alliance against the Ottomans. When the Saudis needed to clear the Grand Mosque in Mecca of protestors in 1979, they employed French paratroops to kill Muslims within the walls of the mosque.

The Saud family and the rise of the Wahhabis – The Saud family was established in Ad Diriyah, in the center of Najd, near the modern capital of Riyadh, where they had settled around 1500. The tribes of the Najd, relatively isolated from Islamic life, had resumed various pagan practices. Some of the Arabian tribes attributed to trees and rocks the same sort of power that the Shia venerate in the tombs of Imams. Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab (died 1792), initiated a comprehensive reform. He grew up in Uyaynah, an oasis in southern Najd, where he studied Hanbali Islamic law. He continued his studies in Medina and then went to Iraq and to Iran. In the late 1730s he returned to the Najd and began to write and preach against both Shia and local paganism. He focused on Muslim monotheism, and preached that there is only one God, who does not share power with anyone. His students called themselves muwahhidun (unitarians). Their detractors referred to them as “Wahhabis”–or “followers of Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab.”

Wahhab attached a militant political dimension to his preaching, attacking the Shia and attracting local sheikhs to his cause. He won over some local leaders in Uyaynah and destroying some shrines there with the assistance of the Saud family, but was obliged to leave that town because of Shi’a pressure, and headed for Ad Diriyah, where he was welcomed by the Saud family. In 1744 Muhammad ibn Saud, head of the family, and Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab, swore a traditional Muslim oath promising to work together to establish a state based on Islamic principles.

For more than two centuries, Wahhabism has been Saudi Arabia’s dominant faith. It is an austere form of Islam that insists on a literal interpretation of the Koran. Strict Wahhabis believe that all those who don’t practice their form of Islam are heathens and enemies. Critics say that Wahhabism’s rigidity has led it to misinterpret and distort Islam, pointing to extremists such as Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. Wahhabism’s explosive growth began in the 1970s when Saudi charities started funding Wahhabi schools (madrassas) and mosques from Islamabad to Culver City, California. Here are excerpts from FRONTLINE’s interviews with Mai Yamani, an anthropologist who studies Saudi society; Vali Nasr, an authority on Islamic fundamentalism; Maher Hathout, spokesperson for the Islamic Center of Southern California; and Ahmed Ali, a Shi’a Muslim from Saudi Arabia. (Also see the Links and Readings section of this site for more analyses of Wahhabism and Saudi Arabia.)

The roots of Islamic terrorism

Fundamentalism and fascism

Most commentators argue that Islamic terrorism is a fanatical perversion of Islam which deviates from its true teachings. They call for a Western-style modernization of the Muslim world, hoping thereby that radical Islam will be tamed.

This analysis misses the point. The nature of the terrorist threat is unambiguously Islamic and is not so much a deviation from Muslim tradition as an appeal to it. Al Qaeda’s ideology draws on two traditions to legitimize itself: one classical, the other modern.

Regarding classical Islam, the oft-quoted remark that Islam is a religion of peace is false. It is historically illiterate to claim that war is foreign to Islam and it is theologically uninformed to argue that jihad is merely a personal inner struggle with no external military correlate.

On the contrary, Islam is linked from the beginning with the practice of divinely sanctioned warfare and lethal injunctions against apostates and unbelievers. Islam experienced no period of wandering and exclusion; from its inception, Islam formed a unitary state bent on military conquest.

The ‘Prophet’ died a successful military leader who created a single Islamic polity that expanded – through warfare – all over the known world. The caliphate combined the double logic of a religious community and an imperial state.

…Islam still regards it as a holy duty to extend militarily the borders of the House of Islam against the demonic world of unbelievers: “He who dies without having taken part in a campaign dies in a kind of unbelief.”

…When extremists say they are killing in the name of Islam, they are in part appealing to Islamic traditions of long standing. Al Qaeda’s modern origins go back to Wahhabism, named after the revivalist movement founded by Muhammad Ibn’Abd al-Wahhab in 1744. Wahhab called for a return to a pure and unadulterated form of Islam closer to the ideals of the Prophet.

…Wahhabism (not unlike some radical Protestant sects) reducedIslam to a scriptural literalism, an absolutism utterly hostile to other more medieval traditions. In this sense of direct rule by God,Wahhabism is a truly modern theology. Not unlike Descartes and Kant, it argues for the unmediated and total knowledge of its object.

Al Qaeda then blended this theology with fascism. The Indian Muslim Abu Ala Maududi (1903-1979) condemned the degraded nature of all contemporary Muslim communities. He characterized Muslim governments that did not implement stringent Islamic law as apostate and commanded true believers to wage jihad against them.

Maududi was a decisive influence on Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966), chief ideologue of the Muslim Brotherhood. Like Maududi, Qutb fused the history of Mohammed’s travails with a revolutionary vanguard-type ideology that removed medieval limits on warfare by championing a modern death cult in the quest for a revivified caliphate.

The ideology instigated by these two figures is fuelled by dreams of a prior Islamic golden age. Al Qaeda sympathizers avidly read European fascist literature and pursue religious ends via atheist methods. Recruits to the cause are not the excluded uneducated poor, they are intellectuals with a radical critique of Western society and its impact on Islam.
http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/07/27/opinion/edpabst.php

Wahhabism is derived from the teachings of Muhammad ibn abd al-Wahhab, an eighteenth century religious zealot from the Arabian interior. Like most Sunni Islamic fundamentalist movements, the Wahhabis advocated the fusion of state power and religion through the reestablishment of the Caliphate, the form of government adopted by the Prophet Muhammad’s successors during the age of Muslim expansion. What sets Wahhabism apart from other Sunni Islamist movements is its historical obsession with purging Sufis, Shiites, and other Muslims who do not conform to its twisted interpretation of Islamic scripture.
In 1744, Ibn Abd al-Wahhab forged an historic alliance with the Al-Saud clan and sanctified its drive to vanquish its rivals. In return, the Al-Saud supported campaigns by Wahhabi zealots to cleanse the land of “unbelievers.” In 1801, Saudi-Wahhabi warriors crossed into present day Iraq and sacked the Shiite holy city of Karbala, killing over 4,000 people. After the Saudis conquered Mecca and Medina in the 1920s, they destroyed such “idolatrous” shrines as the Jannat al-Baqi cemetary, where four of the twelve Shiite imams were buried (on the grounds that grave markers are bida’a, or objectionable innovations).

In return for endorsing the royal family’s authority in political, security, and economic spheres after the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, Wahhabi clerics were granted control over state religious and educational institutions and allowed to enforce their rigid interpretation of sharia (Islamic law).

3.2 Khilafah Massacres from 1840-1860
In fact, it was the constant incidence of genocide that obliged Western intervention in Ottoman affairs, leading to the eventual collapse of the State. In 1842, Muslims engaged in the following massacre:

Badr Khan Bey, A Hakkari Kurdish Amir, combined with other Kurdish forces led by Nurallah, attacked the Assyrians, intending to burn, kill, destroy, and, if possible, exterminate the Assyrians race from the mountains. The fierce Kurds destroyed and burned whatever came within their reach. An indiscriminate massacre took place. The women were brought before the Amir and murdered in cold blood. The following incident illustrates the revolting barbarity: the aged mother of Mar Shimun, the Patriarch of the Church of the East, was seized by them, and after having practiced on her the most abominable atrocities, they cut her body into two parts and threw it into the river Zab, exclaiming, “go and carry to your accursed son the intelligence that the same fate awaits him.” Nearly ten thousand Assyrians were massacred, and as large a number of woman and children were taken captive, most of whom were sent to Jezirah to be sold as slaves, to be bestowed as presents upon the influential Muslims. (Death of a Nation, pp. 111-112).

Similar events occurred in 1846. In neither case did the Ottoman Government or its security forces intervene to prevent the massacres or punish the wrong-doers, indicating that they were happy with the outcome, and thus making the Khilafah accomplices to the massacres. In 1847, Muslim forces massacred 30,000 members of the Assyrian Christian community. A good example of State complicity by the Khilafah in massacres of Christians begun by individual Muslims occurred in Lebanon and Syria in 1860, and which were only finally ended by the intervention of French forces:

In Lebanon, from April to July, more than sixty villages of Al-Matn and Al-Shuf were burned to ashes by the Druze and Kurdish forces. The big towns then followed. The Ottoman garrison commander again offered the Maronite population asylum, as he had offered to the small villages, asking for the surrender of their arms and then slaughtering them in the local serai. Such was the fate of Dayr al-Qamar, which lost 2600 men; Jazzin and environs, where 1500 were slaughtered; Hasbayya, where 1000 of 6000 were cold bloodedly killed; Rashayya, where 800 perished. The orders for Hasbayya were that no male between seven and seventy years of age should be spared. Malicious eyes feasted on mangled, intermingled bodies of old and young in the courtyard of the Shihabi palace. Zahla, largest among the towns with 12000 inhabitants, held out for a short time and then succumbed under an attack by a host including fighters from Harwan and Bedouins from the desert. The town lay snugly in a deep ravine carved by the Bardawni flowing from the Mount Sannin. Hardly a house escaped the flames. The total loss of life within the span of three months and a space of a few miles was estimated at 12000. From Lebanon the spark of hate flew to Damascus and ignited a reservoir of Muslim ill-feeling generated by the policy of Ibrahim Pasha and the egalitarian provisions of Khatti Humayun. The Assyrian quarter was sent on fire and some 11000 of its inhabitants were put to the sword.

3.3 The Balkan Massacres of the 1870s
In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the rural Christian peasantry still lived under a system of serfdom, and faced heavy taxes from the Khilafah that were not endured by the Muslims. The Balkans suffered poor harvests in 1874, threatening starvation, yet the Ottoman State, far from assisting the populace, still demanded the usual taxes – again, influenced by Islamic law. [26] The pressure-cooker finally blew-up in 1875, when the Christians of Bosnia-Herzegovina revolted against the Khilafah. The uprising spread to Serbia and Montenegro, which had been autonomous since 1829 whilst remaining under Ottoman suzerainty. Soon the revolt spread to Bulgaria, which had no rights of self-government under the Khilafah, because of the large Turkish and Muslim communities in the country and its proximity to the imperial capital.

During the years 1914-1923, whilst the attention of the international community focused on the turmoil and aftermath of the First World War, the indigenous Greek minority of the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey’s predecessor, was subjected to a centrally-organized, premeditated and systematic policy of annihilation. This genocide, orchestrated to ensure an irreversible end to the collective existence of Turkey ‘s Greek populace, was perpetrated by two consecutive governments; the Committee for Union and Progress, later better known as the Young Turks, and the nationalist Kemalists led by Mustafa Kemal ‘Atat?rk’. A lethal combination of labor brigades, internal deportations and massacres conducted throughout Anatolian Turkey resulted in the death of 1,400,000 Greeks.

The Annihilation of the Anatolian Greeks
Hellenism flourished in the lands of Asia Minor, present day Asiatic Turkey or Anatolia as it’s still known to the Greeks, for more than 3,000 years. The migration, colonization and settlement of Greeks in Asia Minor began prior to 2000B.C, the Aegean coast of Anatolia being an integral part of a Minoan-Mycenaean civilization. As early as the fifth century the entire peninsula of Asia Minor consisted of a completely Christian populace of 22 million, with the official language of the numerous ethnic groups being Greek. A Turkish presence was established following two separate Turkish invasions; the Seljuk Turks in the eleventh century, followed by the Ottomans at the beginning of the thirteenth. The Ottoman Empire, famed by its harems and janissaries, was founded at the start of the fourteenth century and at its zenith occupied Anatolia, the Middle East and much of south-eastern Europe to the Caucasus. By the end of the 15th century, the considerable Greek population of Asia Minor was under Ottoman rule…

Why is the Armenian Genocide commemorated on April 24?
On the night of April 24, 1915, the Turkish government placed under arrest over 200 Armenian community leaders in Constantinople. Hundreds more were apprehended soon after. They were all sent to prison in the interior of Anatolia, where most were summarily executed. The Young Turk regime had long been planning the Armenian Genocide and reports of atrocities being committed against the Armenians in the eastern war zones had been filtering in during the first months of 1915. The Ministry of War had already acted on the government’s plan by disarming the Armenian recruits in the Ottoman Army, reducing them to labor battalions and working them under conditions equaling slavery. The incapacitation and methodic reduction of the Armenian male population, as well as the summary arrest and execution of the Armenian leadership marked the earliest stages of the Armenian Genocide. These acts were committed under the cover of a news blackout on account of the war and the government proceeded to implement its plans to liquidate the Armenian population with secrecy. Therefore, the Young Turks regime’s true intentions went undetected until the arrests of April 24. As the persons seized that night included the most prominent public figures of the Armenian community in the capital city of the Ottoman Empire, everyone was alerted about the dimensions of the policies being entertained and implemented by the Turkish government. Their death presaged the murder of an ancient civilization. April 24 is, therefore, commemorated as the date of the unfolding of the Armenian Genocide.

…Dadrian has always been unafraid to identify the uniquely Islamic institution of jihad as a critical etiologic factor in the Armenian genocide. Indeed, the most revealing interlude of that April 2nd evening, for me, was his blunt recapitulation of a massacre as depicted in Reverend K. Balakian’s eyewitness narrative Hai Koghota (The Armenian Golgotha)—the major literary work affecting Dadrian’s decision to study the genocide. In a 2003 essay collection, Dadrian recounted the harrowing details of this particular slaughter, its Islamic religious motifs unexpurgated. Six thousand four hundred Armenian children, young girls, and women from Yozgad, were decamped by their Turkish captors at a promontory some distance from the city…

Anguished hope: Holocaust scholars confront the Palestinian-Israeli conflict By Leonard Grob, John K. Roth – 2008 – Page 117

It was perhaps a tragedy for Palestinians and for Jews that the Husseini clan gained hegemony and influence over more moderate Nashashibis and other effendi (highly educated) families. Haj Amin Husseini, given sole religious and secular auhtority and vast unsupervised funds by the British in the early 1920s, held an ideological hatred of Jews and formented mass violence against them from 1920, culminating in thee Great Revolt of 1936-39, deadly terror against his Palestinian opponents, and affirmation of Nazi genocide of Jews…

But I suggest that a key additional factor in the grand mufti’s experience may well have been the Armenian genocide . While training in the Ottoman Military Academy in Constantinople from late 1914 to mid-1915, Haj Amin must have been aware of the deportations and mass murders of Christian Armenians both in Constantinople and within the army itself…

[March, 2010]
Above all, we must not forget that the Nazis were inspired by the Armenian genocide.

The Turks used primitive gas chambers and developed other murderous templates that were later adopted by the Nazis.

Hitler was inspired by the mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, who was an officer of the Ottoman Empire who participated in the Armenian genocide, and who during World War II met with Hitler and frequently with high Nazi officials.

During the Nuremberg Trials in July 1946, Adolf Eichmann’s assistant, Dieter Wisliczeny, testified that mufti was a central figure in the planning of the genocide of the Jews: “The Grand Mufti has repeatedly suggested to the Nazi authorities — including Hitler, von Ribbentrop and Himmler — the extermination of European Jewry…

“The Mufti was one of the initiators of the systematic extermination of European Jewry and had been a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the execution of this plan… He was one of Eichmann’s best friends and had constantly incited him to accelerate the extermination measures.”

Icon of Evil: Hitler’s Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam By David Dalin, John Rothmann, Alan Dershowitz, [Transaction Publishers, 2009]

A chilling, fascinating, and nearly forgotten historical figure is resurrected in this riveting work that links the fascism of the last century with the terrorism of our own. Written with vigor and extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon of Evilis the definitive account of the man who, during World War II, was called “the fuhrer of the Arab world” and whose ugly legacy lives on today. With new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann show how al -Husseini ingratiated himself with his hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blond hair and blue eyes, an “honorary Aryan” while dreaming of being installed as Nazi leader of the Middle East.

Al-Husseini would later recruit more than 100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen-SS, and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine.

Some believe that al-Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final Solution. At wars end, al-Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg and was harbored in France.Icon of Evilchronicles al-Husseinis postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Husseins powerful uncle General Khairallah Talfah and his crucial mentoring of the young Yasser Ararat.

Finally, it provides compelling evidence that al-Husseinis actions and writings serve as inspirations today to the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations pledged to destroy Israel and the United States.

Genocide of Assyrians and Armenians in Ottoman Empire Within the First World War in the territory of Ottoman Turkey where were living about 1 million Assyrians with common language, culture and national traditions, had been organized mass destruction of Christian peoples. Together with 1,5 million Armenians have been brutally killed and tortured from 500 to 750 thousand Assyrians.

Although, as noted, in the 19th century several massacres against Assyrians took place none matched the brutality of the genocide of 1915.In 1911, the Young Turk “Committee for Unity and Progress” declared its goal to “Turkify” all subjects. This implementation of the Pan-Turkic program and ideology can be described as the “dark Period” of ethnic and religious “cleansing” of the Assyrians , Greeks and Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. According to admissions by the Ottoman Home Office Minister, the Young Turks’ Committee and the Ottoman leaders, Enver, Talat and Jamal Pashas, the pretext of war was to be used to justify the Turkish drive towards ethnic cleansing, without fear international condemnation and political reprisals. Consequently, the systematic extermination of the Assyrian people, which continues to this day, has caused the population in that region, previously numbering millions, to diminish to as mere few thousands.

Title: The Rage of Islam: An Account of the Massacres of Christians by the Turks in Persia

The Rage of Islam is a chilling account of the massacres that befell the Christians of Persia in 1915. The author addresses a number of issues, including the presence of the Russians in Persia, the overrunning of Persian territory by the Turks, and the ineffectiveness of the Persian government in preventing the slaughter of its peaceful and law-abiding Christian subjects. The author then questions the reason behind the silence of the Christian west in protecting the Christian east. The book provides a good description of the massacres of 1915 from the point of view of a native Assyrian.

Jihad. Many recognize this term, meaning “holy war” in Arabic, especially after deadly events during the last few years. Whether openly or secretly promoted by Islamic religious organizations, and with or without the approval of their governments, jihad forwards the cause of Islam through open threats and violence. While the whole world now knows the deadly effects of jihad, non-Islamic peoples living in Islamic countries have suffered its violence for decades. Now their story is told. Indigenous Peoples Under the Rule of Islam, a new book by Frederick P. Isaac, details the systematic mistreatment of non-Muslim natives, their denial of basic human rights, and their daily discrimination and persecution. This treatment, asserts Mr. Isaac, amounts to a clear-cut policy of genocide for aboriginal groups who refuse to convert to Islam.

Mr. Isaac, whose family lived in and fled from Iraq during the 1930s, details the use of terrorism, expansion, coercion, suicide bombing, and attacks on civilian targets as some of jihad’s aggressive methods, particularly in Israel and Iraq. He explains how mujahideen, or holy warriors, apply Islamic law and impose it on non-Muslims living in Islamic territory. Consequently, Mr. Isaac explains, the non-Muslim inhabitants become subjects of the Islamic policy of “conversion by the sword,” which seeks to eliminate the cultural identity, race, and faith of anything not Islamic. He provides many examples, involving such diverse peoples as Jews, Assyrians, Arab Lebanese, Syrian and Jordanian Christians, Egyptian Copts, and North African Berber Christians.

The book also seeks to help people appreciate other aspects of Islam not thoroughly analyzed by the world media, aiming to raise the issue of human rights abuses of many indigenous people living under Islamic rule. Mr. Isaac hopes to encourage bodies such as the United Nations to take more active measures against inhumane and undemocratic practices, which he believes constitute a serious threat to world peace.

Massive Arab immigration & settling in “Palestine” Israel – the historic land of the Jews (while the British did put restrictions only on Jewish immigration), which is the main root and real origin of today’s Arabs so called “Palestinians” [later on, this fact will be ignored by many and a myth of "native" & "indigenous" Arabs will emerge...]

The Arabs in Palestine In fact, the permanent Arab population increased 120 percent between 1922 and 1947.
This rapid growth was a result of several factors. One was immigration from neighboring states — constituting 37 percent of the total immigration to pre-state Israel — by Arabs who wanted to take advantage of the higher standard of living the Jews had made possible. The Arab population also grew because of the improved living conditions created by the Jews as they drained malarial swamps and brought improved sanitation and health care to the region. Thus, for example, the Muslim infant mortality rate fell from 201 per thousand in 1925 to 94 per thousand in 1945 and life expectancy rose from 37 years in 1926 to 49 in 1943.

In 1928, Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood, a rigidly conservative and highly secretive Egyptian-based organization dedicated to resurrecting a Muslim empire. According to al-Banna, “It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” Al-Banna also gave the group the motto it still uses today: “God is our purpose, the Prophet our leader, the Quran our constitution, jihad our way and dying for God our supreme objective.” The 9/11 Commission Report describes the Brotherhood’s influence on Osama bin Laden, stating that “Bin Laden relies heavily on the Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb.” Qutb is one of the most influential, early Brotherhood theoreticians. The 9/11 Commission Report also describes the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence on Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman: “In speeches and writings, the sightless Rahman, often called the “Blind Sheikh,” preached the message of Sayyid Qutb’s Milestones, characterizing the United States as the oppressor of Muslims worldwide and asserting that it was their religious duty to fight against God’s enemies. An FBI informant learned of a plan to bomb major New York landmarks, including the Holland and Lincoln tunnels. Disrupting this “landmarks plot,” the FBI in June 1993 arrested Rahman and various confederates.”

BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Analysis: THE ROOTS OF JIHAD IN EGYPT:
The origins of Bin Laden’s concept of jihad can be traced back to two early 20th century figures, who started powerful Islamic revivalist movements in response to colonialism and its aftermath.
Pakistan and Egypt – both Muslim countries with a strong intellectual tradition – produced the movements and ideology that would transform the concept of jihad in the modern world.
In Egypt, Hassan al-Banna’s Muslim Brotherhood and in Pakistan, Syed Abul Ala Maududi’s Jamaat Islami sought to restore the Islamic ideal of the union of religion and state.
They blamed the western idea of the separation of religion and politics for the decline of Muslim societies.
This, they believed, could only be corrected through a return to Islam in its traditional form, in which society was governed by a strict code of Islamic law.
Al-Banna and Maudoudi breathed new life into the concept of jihad as a holy war to end the foreign occupation of Muslim lands.

In the 1950s Sayed Qutb, a prominent member of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, took the arguments of al-Banna and Maududi a stage further.
For Qutb, all non-Muslims were infidels – even the so-called “people of the book”, the Christians and Jews – and he predicted an eventual clash of civilisations between Islam and the west.
Qutb was executed by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1966.
According to Dr Azzam Tamimi, director of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought in London, Qutb’s writings in response to Nasser’s persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood, “acquired wide acceptance throughout the Arab world, especially after his execution and more so following the defeat of the Arabs in the 1967 war with Israel”.
Qutb and Maududi inspired a whole generation of Islamists, including Ayatollah Khomeini, who developed a Persian version of their works in the 1970s.

In 1928, an Islamic scholar named Hassan Al Banna founded an organization in Egypt called the Muslim Brotherhood. Born out of the extreme Muslim right wing’s desire to counter the ideology of modernization, the Brotherhood’s platform included a strict interpretation of the Koran that glorified suicidal violence to rid the world of Judaism. Along with Al Banna, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj-al Amin Al-Husseini was also an enormously influencial Muslim leader of the time. Together, the two created a powerful and popular Islamist party by classically appealing to fundamentalist Islamic principals while blaming the world’s problems on the Jews.

The Muslim Brotherhood began to expand in scope and influence during World War II. They even had a Palestinian section headed by the grand Mufti of Jerusalem, one of the great bigots of all time. Here, too, was a man — The grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the Muslim Brotherhood representative for Palestine. These were undoubtedly Arab Nazis. The Grand Mufti, for example, went to Germany during the war and helped recruit an international SS division of Arab Nazis. They based it in Croatia and called it the “Handjar” Muslim Division, but it was to become the core of Hitler’s new army of Arab fascists that would conquer the Arab peninsula from then on to Africa — grand dreams.

At the end of World War II, the Muslim Brotherhood was wanted for war crimes. Their German intelligence handlers were captured in Cairo. The whole net was rolled up by the British Secret Service. Then a horrible thing happened.

Instead of prosecuting the Nazis — the Muslim Brotherhood — the British government hired them. They brought all the fugitive Nazi war criminals of Arab and Muslim descent into Egypt, and for three years they were trained on a special mission. The British Secret Service wanted to use the fascists of the Muslim Brotherhood to strike down the infant state of Israel in 1948. Only a few people in the Mossad know this, but many of the members of the Arab Armies and terrorist groups that tried to strangle the infant State of Israel were the Arab Nazis of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Britain was not alone. The French intelligence service cooperated by releasing the Grand Mufti and smuggling him to Egypt, so all of the Arab Nazis came together. So, from 1945 to 1948, the British Secret Service protected every Arab Nazi they could, but they failed to quash the State of Israel.

Contemporary Islamist Ideology Authorizing Genocidal Murder

January 27, 2004

[...]

Contemporary Islamism, however, holds that Islam is now under attack, and therefore Jihad is now a war of defense, and as such has become not only a collective duty but an individual duty without restrictions or limitations. That is, to the Islamists, Jihad is a total, all-encompassing duty to be carried out by all Muslims – men and women, young and old. All infidels, without exception, are to be fought and annihilated, and no weapons or types of warfare are barred. Furthermore, according to them, current Muslim rulers allied with the West are considered apostates and infidels.

One major ideological influence in Islamist thought was Sayyid Qutb. Qutb, an Egyptian, was the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood movement. He was convicted of treason for plotting to assassinate Egyptian president Gamal Abd Al-Nasser and was executed in 1966. He wrote extensively on a wide range of Islamic issues. According to Qutb, “There are two parties in all the world: the Party of Allah and the Party of Satan – the Party of Allah which stands under the banner of Allah and bears his insignia, and the Party of Satan, which includes every community, group, race, and individual that does not stand under the banner of Allah.”

On a website devoted to Ramadhan, the Muslim Brotherhood posted a series of articles by Dr. Ahmad ‘Abd Al-Khaleq about Al-Walaa Wa’l-Baraa, an Islamic doctrine which, in its fundamentalist interpretation, stipulates absolute allegiance to the community of Muslims and total rejection of non-Muslims and of Muslims who have strayed from the path of Islam.

In his articles, the writer argues that according to this principle, a Muslim can come closer to Allah by hating all non-Muslims – Christians, Jews, atheists, or polytheists – and by waging jihad against them in every possible manner.

The Muslim Brotherhood, also called Muslim Brethren (… jamiat al-Ikhwan al-muslimun, literally Society of Muslim Brothers) is an Islamic organization with a political approach to Islam. It was founded in 1928 by Hassan al Banna in Egypt after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Ideology:

The Muslim Brotherhood opposes secular tendencies of Islamic nations and wants return to the precepts of the Qur’an, and rejection of Western influences. They also reject extreme Sufism. They organize events from prayer meetings to sport clubs for socializing.

The organization’s motto is as follows: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope”.

An important aspect of the Muslim Brotherhood ideology is the sanctioning of Jihad such as the 2004 fatwa issued by Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi making it a religious obligation of Muslims to abduct and kill U.S. citizens in Iraq.

Score one for the Muslim Brotherhood.
SPECIAL REPORT: The Bush
administration has decided that calling the enemy by his name is too risky, too
politically incorrect, or oddly, somehow too laudatory…
The U.S. government
seems to think that declaring such links don’t exist will make it so. Score one
for the Muslim Brotherhood.
As Walid Phares describes in his post-9/11
three-book series on the meaning…
What motivates the international Islamic
jihad movement is a literal textual interpretation of doctrinal Islam as laid
out in the Koran, hadith, and Sunna plus centuries of Islamic scholarship and
consensus on the concept of just war. Within this construct, it is true that
words such as jihad, mujahedin, and Caliphate carry intensely positive and
honorable connotations – for the Muslim jihadis – but hardly for the rest of us,
their intended targets for subjugation within the totalitarian system that
Sharia would impose.
In any case, use or non-use by infidels of the very
terms by which jihadis identify themselves, to the extent that it might even be
noticed, cannot possibly confer any additional measure of legitimacy on what has
been for the mujahedin a centuries-old campaign of duty to spread their
faith.
What Americans need to understand is that Islamic jihadis, whether
part of a formal terrorist organization such as al-Qaida or the Muslim
Brotherhood, or merely ideologically driven by the actions and proclamations of
such groups, are internally motivated by what they believe is a divine mandate
to fight and kill until the entire world comes under the sway of Dar al-Islam
(where Sharia law prevails). The only relevance for this enemy that the choice
of descriptive words may have is in the area of psychological operations.
If
the jihadi enemy can achieve such a state of muddled confusion among the top
administrative, legislative, and military leadership of its primary enemy (the
United States of America) that we no longer even permit ourselves to utter the
name of those sworn to our destruction, then truly they are winning the “War of
Ideas.”
From a series of excellent recent media pieces, as well as extensive
documentation entered into evidence in last year’s Holy Land Foundation terror
financing trial, we now know the extent of Muslim Brotherhood activity
throughout our society.
Muslim Brotherhood organizations such as the Islamic
Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR), and the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), all three
listed by the Department of Justice as unindicted co-conspirators, have achieved
unprecedented access to the Department of Defense and even the White House.

But aware now of the enemy’s stealth and cunning in seeking to influence
U.S. national security policy, the nation is obligated to reject his agenda — an
agenda that prioritizes concealment until it is too late of the true nature of
their campaign of conquest, whether by Dawa (persuasion, including by way of
deception) or terrorist attack.

[A Survivor's memory]

I vividly remember the bus ride I took from Hebron
to Jerusalem. That day the Arabs were laughing and making slicing
motions across their throats as they screamed “Itbach Al-Yahud”
(slaughter the Jews). I was originally scheduled to return the day of
the massacre (which was a Friday) but since I was sick, I postponed my
departure to Sunday. Unfortunately I was never able to return to Hebron,
since that Friday and Saturday the massacre took place. Among the 67
Jews brutally murdered were 41 of my fellow yeshiva students. In fact,
among the nine yeshiva students with whom I dormed, only one survived -
my roommate who hid under the other eight mutilated bodies in a closet
and played dead.

I was shocked to later learn that my Arab neighbor Moussa, who I
had regularly chatted with, had not only participated in the massacre,
but had castrated and gauged out the eyes of a Jewish barber

Haj Mohammad Amin al-Husseini was a brilliant agitator and former Customs officer in the small Palestinian Arab town of Qalqilia who went on to become grand mufti of Jerusalem, the official “priest” and pre- eminent political leader of the Arabs. From his earliest years, Husseini was a ferocious opponent of Jewish immigration to Palestine.
During the Muslim festival of Nebi Musa on April 4, 1920, Haj Mohammad Amin’s followers went on a murderous rampage and, “inflamed by anti-Jewish diatribes, began attacking Jewish passers-by and looting Jewish stores.” He was subsequently convicted by a British military tribunal of inciting the violence, in which five Jews and four Arabs were killed and 211 Jews and 21 Arabs wounded.
After skipping bail, Haj Mohammad Amin took refuge in western Palestine and was sentenced in absentia to ten years in prison. The leader of the hastily organized Jewish self-defense force, Vladimir Jabotinsky, received a 15-year jail sentence for halting the killing spree.
But Haj Mohammad Amin was ferociously opposed to any form of cooperation between Jews and Arabs, which the fledging Zionist movement was trying actively to promote. When young Arab and Jewish intellectuals established “an evening school for the teaching of Hebrew to the Arabs, Arabic to the Jews, and English to both,” al -Husseini intervened to kill the project within a year.
His opposition to the Jews was unrelenting. “Remember, Abbady,” he told a local official who came from an old Jewish family in Jerusalem, “this was and will remain an Arab land. We do not mind you Jewish natives of the country, but those alien invaders, the Zionists, will be massacred to the last man. We want no progress, no prosperity [deriving from Jewish immigration]. Nothing but the sword will decide the future of this country.”
That may be the single most telling statement any Arab leader has made to explain the deep, unacceptable challenge Arabs feel when faced by the success of the Jews.
Haj Mohammad Amin al-Husseini emerged from hiding not long after his trial. In recognition of his status among the Palestinian Arabs, the British mandatory authorities disregarded his record of incitement and appointed him grand mufti in 1922.

But instead of calming the population, as the British seemed to wish, he led a second massacre of Jews on Aug. 23, 1929, in Hebron, where Jewish immigrants had established a thriving community on the site of Judaism’s second most holy city. Given al-Husseini’s new official status, the commission of inquiry appointed by the British Colonial Office treated him “with exceptional consideration,” allowing him to testify behind closed doors at his own home.

Remembering The Hebron Massacre of 1929.
Since… August 24th, marks 77 years since the Brutal Massacre and rape of the Jewish Community of Hebron, I thought it would be important to provide the following recently found letter from a survivor who recounts the horrors of the pogrom. The letter’s author requests that his surviving children read the account every year to recall the survival and the massacre:

The Hebron massacre 1929 by Arabs – (another) important milestone, Arab propaganda machine would want you to ignore.
Just like most important milestones in the middle east conflict, the Hebron massacre by Arabs on Jews (mostly non Zionists) is crucial to apprehend the deep rooted hatred by Arabs to non Arabs especially to the Jews (before Israel’s re-establishment).
One of the key reasons why Arab propaganda machine ignores or would like very much the world to ignore it, is again, as it contradicts with their line of lie of ‘blaming it all on Israel’s inception.’, or on ‘the Zionists’ for that matter.

Smooth Stone: The 1929 HEBRON MASSACRE In 1929, 67 Jews of the ancient holy city of Hebron were brutally murdered by a bloodthirsty Arab mob. From reading the news services, it would seem that the Jewish residents of Hebron are responsible for all the violence in the Mideast, the spread of AIDS, the rising unemployment, the hole in the ozone, and the Windows Me operating system. After the horrific suicide bomb attack at Sbarro?’s restaurant in Jerusalem, the media had to scramble to find an equivalent outrage by Israelis in their compulsion for ?“balance.?” Since no equivalent atrocity against Palestinians could be found, an AP photographer by the name of Nasser Shyoukhi took it upon himself to create one.

August 24, 2004 marks the 75th anniversary of the 1929 Hebron Massacre, in which 67 Jews were brutally murdered by their Arab neighbors. Arab mobs were incited by various false rumours, e.g. that Jews were murdering Arabs and that Jews were plotting to harm the Al Aqsa Mosque and other sites holy to Muslims. Attacks against Jews began in Jerusalem and spread throughout Palestine.

Understanding the Palestinian Movement
An HIR Series, in four parts

Historical and Investigative Research – 22 April 2006

Introduction

In 1929 there were Arab terrorist riots in British Mandate Palestine against the civilian Jewish population that lived there.

“The [1929] riots were accompanied by militant Arab slogans such as… ‘Palestine is our land and the Jews our dogs…’ [and] brutal acts by Arabs…such as the killings in Hebron, where small children were tortured by their murderers before being murdered. …the Jewish community in Palestine found itself caught up in a wave of violent disturbances that swept with a fury through Jewish settlements and neighborhoods throughout the length and breadth of the country. The danger now appeared to threaten the very survival of the entire Jewish community.”

This was not the first mass racist attack by Arabs against unarmed civilian Jews in British Mandate ‘Palestine,’ nor would it be the last attempted extermination.

Historian Anita Shapira, above, writes in a way that suggests compassion for the Jewish victims of Arab racism. She is considered to be a Zionist. For a different portrayal, let us turn to Zionism: False Messiah, by historian Nathan Weinstock, who agrees with Shapira on the most important facts but not on the interpretation:

“…the Palestinian anti-colonialist movement was deformed by racism….unprovoked racist attack against unarmed Jews…

The Simele massacre, Iraq, the massacre & ethnic cleansing by Arab Muslims on Christian Assyrians, indigenous people

August 7th ~ “Assyrian Ethnic Cleansing,” The New Assyrian Martyrs Day

“Though the body may perish, the soul lives on”
August 7th of every year marks the Assyrian Martyrs Day, what began as the commemoration of the Simele massacre in 1933, where an estimated 3,000 Assyrians were systematically targeted by the Iraqi government to cleanse the Assyrian race, the indigenous people of Iraq whose roots date back to the Sumerians, the earliest recorded civilization in the mid 4th millennium B.C.

The Simele massacre took place in the provinces of Northern Iraq, where a killing spree took place among 63 Assyrian villages. But the Assyrian Martyrs Day represents all genocides and atrocities committed against the Assyrians, beginning in 1914 and 1915 where countless Assyrian villagers were massacred. In 1918 thousands of men, women and children were trafficked on foot en route to Baquba from Iran where more than one half fell to death unaccounted for, and without burial sites. In the same year, the Assyrian Patriarch, the late Mar Benyamin Shimun was assassinated. Not forgotten are the massacres of Sairt, Khoi, Soriya and Port Sharabkhana. The massacres of Mosul and Kirkuk, and the attack on Hebbaniya and Barwar have made their marks too on the pages of history. And let’s not forget the assassination of Youbert, Yousip and Youkhana in 1985 by the Baathist regime.

It has been 74 years since the Simele massacre, and the Assyrians of today, among all other Christians in Iraq, continue to suffer at the hands of Muslim fundamentalists. Let’s just call it what it is ~ ethnic cleansing. Yes, the year is 2007 and the international world is watching as the Assyrians flee their homes by the hour to neighboring countries, where an average teen at the age of fourteen does not have essential reading and writing skills in Jordan. Hence, Iraqis are barred from education in neighboring Jordan, where heavy sums of monies are levied on Iraqis to maintain temporary visa statuses.

Not only have the Assyrians become a stateless-people, but in homeland Iraq, they have become refugees, where they are threatened and coerced into abandoning their homes due to death threats. In some parts of Baghdad and Basra, it has become a familiar practice to approach families with a three-fold proposition: convert to Islam, pay a hefty tax (referred to jizya in Arabic), or face becoming beheaded. Oftentimes in the bigger cities, the Assyrian families are banning girls from attending schools for fear of kidnapping and rape. Read “The Departed” www.INNANAmagazine.com/editorials

On August 7th, the international Assyrian community commemorates its martyrs in traditional church prayers and feasts, honoring those who have died for their nationalistic beliefs. Gone, but not forgotten are our martyrs. We will tell their stories and speak their names for generations to come.
http://skokietalk.info/node/4760

August 18, 1933 The Simele massacre was the first of many massacres committed by the Iraqi government during the systematic targeting of Assyrian Christians of Northern Iraq in August of 1933. The term is used to describe not only the massacre of Simele, but also the killing spree that continued among 63 Assyrian villages in the Dohuk and Mosul districts that led to the deaths of an estimated 3,000 Assyrians.The Assyrian people at the time were emerging from one of the darkest periods of their history, for, during the Assyrian genocide at the end of the World War I, an estimated two-thirds of their population was massacred by Ottoman Turks and Kurds.

The Arab strike ended in October 1936 and a temporary peace between Arabs and Jews prevailed for almost a year. Then, in September 1937, following the July report by the Peel Commission, the violent tactics resumed. Armed Arab terrorism, under the direction of the Higher Committee, was used to attack the Jews and to suppress Arab opponents. This campaign of violence continued through 1938 and then tapered off, ending in early 1939. The toll was terrible: Eighty Jews were murdered by terrorist acts during the labor strike, and a total of 415 Jewish deaths were recorded during the whole 1936-1939 Arab Revolt period.
http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_riots_1936-39.php

Dear world, why did the Arabs – the Palestinians – massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936-39? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967?

And when you, dear world, proposed a UN Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a “Palestinian state” alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried “no” and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews – was that “upset” caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of “upset” then?

The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state – attempted to drive the Jewish State into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of itbach-al-yahud (Massacre the Jew!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream – destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not “repress” them.

Terror in 1938
by George Ettinger Published: 09/10/02, 10:03 PM

The Daily Telegraph, on 4th September, printed the obituary of Colonel Desmond Woods. While a young officer, just graduated from Sandhurst, Woods was posted to Palestine as a platoon commander in the Royal Ulster Rifles. His unit was ordered to restore law and order after Arab terrorist raids in the Galilee had increased following the Munich crisis. Woods’ obituary describes Arab armed bands roaming from village to village in 1938, swooping on lonely police outposts, isolated Jewish settlements, railway stations or anything else offering a tempting target. After the Tiberias massacre, Woods’ unit left Safed to search Bedouin encampments between Al Mughar and the Kinneret and to, if need be, take punitive measures.

The obituary describes how Arab terrorists shouting ‘Death to the English’ ambushed Woods? unit. Only the arrival of two British fighter aircraft, which strafed the Arab with machinegun fire, and dropping a number of small bombs, saved the British soldiers. Woods was decorated with the Military Cross. Note the use of punitive measures where necessary, and the contribution of fighter aircraft in attacking and bombing Arab terrorist concentrations…

Hajj
Amin el-Husseini was appointed Mufti of Jerusalem by the British High
Commissioner, in May 1921, a title he retained, following the Ottoman practice,
for the remainder of his life. Throughout his public career, the Mufti relied
upon traditional Koranic anti-Jewish motifs to arouse the Arab street. For
example, during the incitement which led to the 1929 Arab revolt in Palestine,
he called for combating and slaughtering “the Jews”, not merely Zionists. In
fact, most of the Jewish victims of the 1929 Arab revolt were Jews from the
centuries old dhimmi communities (for eg., in Hebron), as opposed to recent
settlers identified with the Zionist movement. With the ascent of Nazi Germany
in the 1930s, the Mufti and his coterie intensified their anti-Semitic
activities to secure support from Hitler’s Germany, Bosnian Muslims, and the
overall Arab Muslim world, for a jihad to annihilate the Jews of Palestine.
Following his expulsion from Palestine by the British, the Mufti organized a
brutal anti-Jewish pogrom in Baghdad (1941), concurrent with his failed effort
to install a pro-Nazi Iraqi government. Escaping to Europe after this
unsuccessful coup attempt, the Mufti spent the remainder of World War II in
Germany and Italy. From this sanctuary, he provided active support for the
Germans by recruiting Bosnian Muslims, in addition to Muslim minorities from the
Caucasus, for dedicated Nazi SS units. The Mufti’s objectives for these
recruits, and Muslims in general, were made explicit during his multiple wartime
radio broadcasts from Berlin, heard throughout the Arab world: an international
campaign of genocide against the Jews. For example, during his March 1, 1944
broadcast he stated: “Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God,
history, and religion.”.

Hajj Amin made an especially important contribution to the German war effort
in Yugoslovia where the Bosnian Muslim SS units he recruited (in particular the
Handzar Division) brutally suppressed local Nazi resistance movements. The
Mufti’s pamphlet entitled, “Islam and the Jews”, was published by the Nazis in
Croatian and German for distribution during the war to these Bosnian Muslim SS
units. This hateful propaganda served to incite the slaughter of Jews, and
(Serb) Christians as well. Indeed, the Bosnian Muslim Handzar SS Division was
responsible for the destruction of whole Bosnian Jewish and Serbian communities,
including the massacre of Jews and Serbs, and the deportation of survivors to
Auschwitz for extermination. However, these heinous crimes, for which the Mufti
bears direct responsibility, had only a limited impact on the overall
destruction of European Jewry when compared with his nefarious wartime campaign
to prevent Jewish emigration from Europe to Palestine. Invoking the personal
support of such prominent Nazis as Himmler and Eichmann, the Mufti’s relentless
hectoring of German, Rumanian, and Hungarian government officials caused the
cancellation of an estimated 480,000 exit visas which had been granted to Jews
(80,000 from Rumania, and 400,000 from Hungary). As a result, these hapless
individuals were deported to Polish concentration camps. A United Nations
Assembly document presented in 1947 which contained the Mufti’s June 28, 1943
letter to the Hungarian Foreign Minister requesting the deportation of Hungarian
Jews to Poland, includes this stark, telling annotation: “As a Sequel to This
Request 400,000 Jews Were Subsequently Killed”. The Mufti escaped to the Middle
East after the war to avoid capture and possible prosecution for war crimes.

…the Palestinian wartime leader “was one of the worst and fanatical fascists and anti-Semites,” …. He intervened with the Nazis to prevent the escape to Palestine of thousands of European Jews, who were sent instead to the death camps. He also conspired with the Nazis to bring the Holocaust to Palestine. The mufti “invented a new form of Jew-hatred by recasting it in an Islamic mold,” according to German scholar Matthias Küntzel. The mufti’s fusion of European anti-Semtism—particularly the ”’genocidal”’ variety—with Koranic views of Jewish wickedness has become the hallmark of Islamists world-wide, from al Qaeda to Hamas and Hezbollah. During his time in Berlin, the mufti ran the Nazis’ Arab-language propaganda radio program, which incited Muslims in the Mideast to “kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history and religion.” Among the many listeners was also the man later known as Ayatollah Khomeini, who used to tune in to Radio Berlin every evening, according to Amir Taheri’s biography of the Iranian leader. Khomeini’s disciple Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still spews the same venom pioneered by the mufti as do Islamic hate preachers around the world.

Muslim Judeophobia is not—as is commonly claimed—a reaction to the Mideast conflict but one of its main “root causes.” It has been fueling Arab rejection of a Jewish state long before Israel’s creation.

FASCIST MUSLIM GROUP EXPECTED TO LOOT TEL AVIV IN 1948

The Long Shadow of Haj Amin

In October 1937, Haj Amin al-Husseini, mufti of Jerusalem and leader of the Arab Higher Committee, was hiding from the British authorities in the Haram al-Sharif, the holy sanctuary atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. On October 13, disguised as a Beduin, he fled to Lebanon via Jaffa. In Lebanon he received sanctuary from the French mandatory authorities but he fled again with the outbreak of war in 1939. This time he made his way to Baghdad disguised as a woman. In Baghdad in 1940 and 1941 he increased his contacts with Germany, offering to aid the Nazis in return for their help in gaining independence for the Arab states. The Italians helped him enter Turkey, and then he made his way to Rome on October 11. He met with Mussolini and then with Hitler on November 28. After the failure of various schemes to create an Arab military unit he eventually settled for recruiting Muslim volunteers to aid the Nazis from the Balkans, Bosnia and eventually Kosovo.

In speaking to potential recruits, Husseini stressed the connections they had to the Muslim nation fighting the British throughout the world: “The hearts of all Muslims must today go out to our Islamic brothers in Bosnia, who are forced to endure a tragic fate. They are being persecuted by the Serbian and communist bandits, who receive support from England and the Soviet Union… They are being murdered, their possessions are robbed and their villages are burned. England and its allies bear a great accountability before history for mishandling and murdering Europe’s Muslims, just as they have done in the Arabic lands and in India.”

Three divisions of Muslim soldiers were recruited: The Waffen SS 13th Handschar (“Knife”) and the 23rd Kama (“Dagger”) and the 21st Skenderbeg. The Skenderbeg was an Albanian unit of around 4,000 men, and the Kama was composed of Muslims from Bosnia, containing 3,793 men at its peak. The Handschar was the largest unit, around 20,000 Bosnian Muslim volunteers. According to the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, “These Muslim volunteer units, called Handschar, were put in Waffen SS units, fought Yugoslav partisans in Bosnia and carried out police and security duties in Hungary. They participated in the massacre of civilians in Bosnia and volunteered to join in the hunt for Jews in Croatia.” Part of the division also escorted Hungarian Jews from the forced labor in mine in Bor on their way back to Hungary. The division was also employed against Serbs, who as Orthodox Christians were seen by the Bosnian Muslims as enemies.

The Handschar division surrendered to the British army on May 8, 1945. As many as 70,000 Bosnian Muslim POWs and their families were moved by the British army to Taranto in Italy. The creation of Marshal Tito’s Yugoslavia at the end of the war meant that former Bosnian Muslim volunteers in the German SS units could not return home for fear of prosecution or internment. George Lepre, a scholar on the history of the Handschar and author of Himmler’s Bosnian Division: The Waffen-SS Handschar Division 1943-1945 describes their fate: “Those Bosnians who elected to remain in the camps eventually found asylum in countries throughout the Western and Arab worlds. Many of those who settled in the Middle East later fought in Palestine against the new Israeli state.”

But first they had to get to the Middle East.

The formation of the Bosnian unit in 1947

The Bosnian Muslims, usually referred to as “Yugoslavs” in period newspaper accounts as well as in intelligence reports, remained in DP camps in Italy until 1947, when it was reported in The Palestine Post on April 18 that there was a “request from the Syrian government for the transfer of 8,000 Bosnian Moslem refugees at present in Italy. Yugoslav quarters here say that the Arab League has written to all Arab states, urging them to assist these Moslem DPs, and that some financial help has already been received. Yugoslav officials say that they too want these 8,000 Moslems back, as they are the Handschar Division of the German Wehrmacht which surrendered to the British… The Yugoslavs state that they view with the gravest concern the possibility of the transfer of this group to the Middle East.”

By December 1947 a nucleus of former Handschar officers had made their way to Syria and were beginning to reconstitute their unit in Damascus. A report by Israel Baer in the Post noted that “the latest recruits to the Syrian army are members of the Bosnian Waffen SS… It is reported that they are directing a school for commando tactics for the Syrian Army.”

No doubt the fledgling Syrian army which had been born in 1946 was in need of officers and trainers with experience. Emilio Traubner, writing on December 3, 1947, noted that the International Refugee Organization (IRO) was even convinced to fund the travel of Bosnian Muslims from Italy to the Middle East so that they could find homes since they refused to be repatriated to Yugoslavia.

In January 1948 Arab agents were working to recruit Bosnians for the fight in Palestine. On February 2, it was reported that 25 Bosnian Muslims had arrived in Beirut and were moving to Damascus to join 40 other Bosnians already there. A report by Jon Kimche on February 4 further noted that up to 3,500 were being transferred to Syria to fight alongside Fawzi Kaukji’s Arab Liberation Army (ALA) in its invasion of Palestine. On March 14 a party of 67 Albanians, 20 Yugoslavs and 21 Croats led by an Albanian named Derwish Bashaco arrived by boat in Beirut from Italy. They were hosted by the Palestine Arab Bureau and made their way to Damascus to join the ALA. In the first week of April another 200 Bosnians arrived in Beirut.

A lengthy report by Claire Neikind on March 2 described the procedure by which Arab agents were recruiting volunteers among the DPs in Italy. Men between 22 and 32 were sought and in return they would receive free passage to Beirut and their families would receive maintenance. According to Neikind, 300 men had already arrived and 90 Croatian Ustashi were also making there way. Fifty-seven were sent to Amman. Between December 1 and February 20 a total of 106 were sent to Syria. Neikind noted that “as soon as their families are settled, they enter Arab military service.”

If one accepts merely the low totals from newspaper accounts it appears that there were at least 520 Bosnians, 67 Albanians and 111 Croatians in Syria or Beirut, as well as 135 Bosnians on their way to Egypt and 57 Bosnians in Jordan. Thus 890 volunteers from Yugoslavia and Albania were in the Middle East by April 1948, before Israel’s declaration of independence on May 15, 1948.

Upon arrival the volunteers found their way to a camp at Katana, a military base west of Damascus that the Syrian army had provided for use by the Arab Liberation Army being assembled to invade Palestine. Here they met their commander, Fawzi Kaukji for the first time. Kaukji, 58, was a former Ottoman soldier who had fought in the Arab Revolt. Hagana intelligence estimated as many as 4,000 volunteers had joined his army.

In December of 2005, Hassan Haidar Diab, a journalist in Bosnia, was able to locate Kemal Rustomovic, a Bosnian who had served with the Yugoslav volunteers. He claimed to have been a member of the Arab Salvation Army where 150 of his fellow Bosnians served under a Bosnian officer named Fuad Sefkobegovic.

The Role of the Bosnians in the War of Independence

Since the fall of 1947 Arab forces under Abdel Khader Husseini and other locals had harassed Jewish traffic and supplies moving from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. A mixed Bosnian-Arab unit of the ALA had been dispatched to aid in the siege of Jerusalem and this unit found itself embroiled in the battle for Castel between April 3 and 8, 1948. This battle was part of the Hagana’s Operation Nahshon which was intended to relieve the siege of Jerusalem. It is not clear what became of the Bosnians who fought at Castel. Some may have retired to Ramallah, where it was reported on April 16 that Muslim foreigners including Yugoslavs had taken over the best hotels and “molested” the local population.

The next battle that the Bosnian units participated in was at Jaffa between April 25 and May 5. Jaffa had been allotted to the Arab state in the UN partition plan, but it was surrounded by territory allotted to the Jewish state. The battle began when the Irgun launched an attack on the city. According to the Hagana, there were 400 “Yugoslavs” and 200 Iraqis defending Jaffa. On April 28, Michel Issa, the Christian Arab commander of the Ajnadin Battalion, received orders from Kaukji to move from the Jerusalem foothills to relieve the siege of Jaffa. On the same day, Hagana intelligence noted that there were 60 “Yugoslavs” among the defenders of Jaffa. Issa arrived in Jaffa on April 29 ; the commander of Jaffa, Maj. Adil Najmuddin, deserted the city on May 1, leaving Issa and his Yugoslavs. According to Issa’s telegram to Kaukji, “Adil left [the] city by sea with all [the] Iraqis and Yugoslavs.” Prior to their departure the Yugoslavs had been billeted at local homes and their unit even included a cook.

Kemal Rustomovic recalled in his interview that he had first been at Nablus, then Jaffa and finally at Jenin. Between the evacuation of the Yugoslavs by sea from Jaffa and their reunion with the ALA, the State of Israel was born on May 15, 1948. On the same day five Arab armies invaded Israel and the war became much wider.

The ALA became a disorganized and largely spent force by the time it saw fighting again around Nazareth again in July. During the fighting in the North, Kaukji’s army of 2,500 men was reduced to only 800 and it was driven from Nazareth into northern Galilee. Rustomovic was one of these men according to his interview. The Post reported that the ALA still included “Yugoslavs.” On July 18 the Post reported that the British government’s intelligence had acted to “systematically sabotage [the] Palestine partition scheme” and provided as evidence the fact that England was aware of the presence of Bosnian volunteers in Syria.

During the fighting in October the IDF conquered the entire Galilee and parts of Southern Lebanon. A report on November 1, detailing the capture of the Galilee, noted that some “Yugoslavs” had been captured during the fighting that had driven the ALA and the Lebanese army from Palestine and actually found the IDF in Lebanon.

There are two causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The first is Arab racism, which rejects any presence that is not Arab in its neighborhood; the second is Islamic intolerance which leads to the same rejection.
Between 1922 and 1948, the Arabs were given 90% of the Palestine Mandate — a territory in which no country existed and which had been promised by its British rulers to the Jews. The Jews were forbidden to live in the Arab portions of the mandate — a concession by the British to Arab racism. At the same time, because the Jews were a tolerant and democratic people, nearly a million Arabs were assimilated into the portion the Jews controlled where they were given more rights than Arabs anywhere else in the Middle East. The Arab response to this compromise was a seven-nation military assault on this new state, which was called “Israel,” and was a state largely composed of recent survivors of the worst genocide in human history. From the outset, then, the Middle East conflict was a war of xenophobic backwardness and ethnic barbarism waged against a persecuted people who intended no harm to their neighbors and sought only peace.

For the next fifty years until this very day, the Arab states have waged continuous warfare against the Jews with the intent of exterminating them or at the very least driving them into the sea. The current American “peace movement” is filled with voices calling for the “liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea,” i.e., demanding that the West Bank and Israel be Judenrein — free of the Jewish state.

Mideast Narratives Have Changed Over Time

News Analysis
By David Bedein & Shmuel Sokol, For The
Bulletin
Published: Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Jerusalem — During the
course of the 20th century, and especially in the years since the 1967 Six Day
War, there has been a dramatic change in the academic and popular historiography
of the Middle East.

The traditional narratives have been supplanted by new and fundamentally
different and revisionist ways of looking at the region and its conflicts.

A case in point: In 1977, PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein told
the Dutch newspaper Trouw that “The Palestinian people does
not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing
our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.”

In reality, today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians,
Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical
reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since
Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct
“Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.

In actuality, during the period of time in which Judea/Palestine was under
the yoke of Ottoman imperialism, the dominant national identification of the
“Palestinian Arabs,” a group of scattered peasants (fellahin in Arabic), was
that of members of the Arab people, and more specifically as residents of
greater Syria.

Palestinian nationalism as such did not exist. There has never been an
independent Palestinian state, nor has Jerusalem ever been the capital of an
independent Arab polity.

These facts, while undeniably true, do not in any way form the basis for
modern thought and diplomatic practice in regards to Israel and its long-running
conflict with its Arab neighbors.

Though Arab governments in a spirit of Pan-Arabism
founded the PLO, the acknowledged historical chronology relegates such
inconvenient facts to the dustbin.

Instead, fiction assumes the realm of fact while
charges of racism are leveled against anyone who denies the veracity of
“Palestinian claims.”

Instead of the Palestinians being perceived as a group
of immigrants from various Arab states that have only recently coalesced into a
semi-unified community, they are acknowledged as a group deserving of equal
rights to the historical Jewish homeland.

It is to combat these myths that Professor Steven Carol has published his
new book, Middle East Rules of Thumb (iUniverse 2008). Professor Carol examines
the underlying assumptions behind popular support for the “Palestinian” cause,
and the policy ramifications of such ideas.

A good example of this would be his treatment of the Arab-Israeli conflict
as the sole source of Middle East instability. It has been contended, by both
the Arabs and the international community, that the underlying problem in the
region is Israeli intransigence and that a negotiated peace with the
“Palestinians” would lead to a better climate for economic growth and the spread
of democratic values.

However, in the spirit of Josef Joffe (see “A World Without Israel,”
Foreign Policy, 2005 http://tinyurl.com/atltvk), Dr. Carol has
compiled a list, chart, six pages in length, that lists the various religious,
national and ethnic conflicts in the Arab/Muslim world that predate Israeli
independence in their root causes, or, having begun since the inception of the
Zionist enterprise, still have no connection to the settlement of Jews in their
ancestral homeland. Dr. Carol does the general public a great service in
providing historical, religious and political context to what one sees every day
in the newspapers.

The book is written in a light and breezy style, making it easy to read.
This is quite an accomplishment, given the subject matter.

As a companion to such books as Myths and Facts or From Time Immemorial,
rather than a self-contained work in and of itself, Middle East Rules of Thumb
proves itself to be a both a highly entertaining read and a good source of
information.

Having taught at such schools as Adelphi University and Long Island
University, written previous scholarly and popular works and consulted for
radio, Dr. Carol certainly knows his subject material and is familiar with
writing for a popular audience. Dr. Carol supplements the main body of his work
with generous and well-written appendixes that are both entertaining and
informative.

Palestinian Arab leaders derive legitimacy from the accepted view that in 1948 their predecessors fought a National Liberation war against British-backed Jewish colonists. A 1948 Nation magazine study proves the opposite happened.

The British Record on Partition

Comments by Jared Israel, Emperor’s Clothes

Eye-opening Memorandum

1948 Report to the UN Explodes the PLO’s Myth of National Liberation
by Jared Israel

[...]

The 1948 Arab-Israeli war plays a key part in the Arab National Liberation tale. The Israeli victory in that war is presented as the defining event, the nakba or catastrophe. In order to claim that the PLO and Fatah are fighting for National Liberation in 2005, their promoters argue that British imperialism, using Jewish proxies, crushed Palestinian Liberation in 1948. The corollary: if the Jews will just grant Arabs the National Liberation they were denied in ’48, Arab leaders will deliver on peace with Israel.

Of course, if this story is false, if in 1948 the Arab armies fought for genocide, not National Liberation, and if it was not the Jews but Arab leaders who were agents of imperial Britain, then it certainly suggests that their protégés are not fighting for National Liberation today.

Below is our text transcription of The Nation magazine’s 1948 memorandum on Britain’s role in the Arab attempt to kill Israel in the cradle. Based on British intelligence documents and written for the United Nations, the memorandum is significant today because it contradicts widely held views about the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict, including those put forward in today’s Nation magazine.

Just for starters, the memorandum proves the falsity of the common perception that the creation of Israel was a project of Western colonialism. The Nation shows that during the half year prior to the all-out Arab invasion on 15 May, Britain incited, micro-managed and did public relations work for a campaign of Arab troop infiltration and terror. And this at a time when Britain was responsible for security in its Palestine Mandate territory.

The intelligence documents cited below show that before the 15 May invasion, British intelligence knew that the Arabs terrorizing the future Israel were being led in part by Nazi advisers. These included Bosnian Muslims from the infamous Handzar Division of the Waffen SS. According to a French intelligence document published by The Nation seven months later, the British sent thousands of Nazi prisoners of war, including top war criminals, to assist the Arab attack. This was after the Arab invasion.

Consistent with British tolerance for and apparent employment of Nazi war criminals against new-born Israel, the Nation memorandum shows that the British adopted a propaganda line reminiscent of the Nazis’ “Jewish-Bolshevik plot” motif. The British accused Jewish Holocaust survivors trying to get to Palestine of being Soviet Communist infiltrators. A 1948 article in the London Times shows that Arab leaders were saying the same thing…

http://emperors-clothes.com/history/br.htm

Join us at Smooth Stone along with other people of good conscience to put an end to the brutal terror of the Palestinian Authority complicit in the ethnic cleansing of indigenous Jews from their homeland of Israel.

Our goal is to educate the world in order to place intense pressure upon the entity calling itself “Palestine” to respect the human rights of the Jewish people who have returned to their restored homeland.

Jews are entitled to self-determination, to live freely in their homeland. Zionism is just as valid as Palestinianism, but even moreso because unlike the political “Arabian nation”, the Zionist movement to “Palestine/the Land of Israel” represents a RETURN – not an invasion.

Let’s face facts:

We are told that there is a difference between extremist Islam and peaceloving normal Islam.

Judging by their behavior, Muslims are anti-West, anti-Democracy, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Buddhist, and anti-Hindu. Muslims are involved in 25 of some 30 conflicts going on in the world: in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Cyprus, East Timor, India, Indonesia (2 provinces), Kashmir, Kazakastan, Kosovo, Kurdistan, Macedonia, the Middle East, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Sudan, Russia-Chechnya, Tajikistan, Thailand, Uganda and Uzbekistan.

Doesn’t this mean that extremist Islam is the norm and normal Islam is extremely rare?

On Nov. 29, 1947 the United Nations General Assembly voted to legitimize the sovereignty of the restored state of Israel.

If the 1.3 million Israeli Arabs are a model of peaceful coexistence, why are the 250,000 Jews living in Judea, Samaria, and the Golan Heights an obstacle to peace?

If the uprooting of Arab communities within the Green Line constitutes a blatant human rights violation, why is the uprooting of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria viewed as a contribution to peace?

There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct “Palestinian” culture or language.

Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed by Arab Palestinians in history. Nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement, until 1964, which was three years *before* the Arabs of “Palestine” lost the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza as a result of attacking Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War (which the Arabs started).

Even the original so-called leader of the “Palestinian” people, Yasser Arafat, was Egyptian.

In short, the so-called Arab “Palestinians” are a manufactured people. They are a people with no history and no authenticity whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish State.

It’s ethnocentric to claim that only a certain ethnic group has rights to own land, as is the claim made by the Arabs. Why are Arabs the only ones entitled to self-determination?

What would have happened if Jews had repopulated their homeland, and the Arabs opened up their arms and expressed brotherhood as their response to Europe’s genocide of European Jews?

It would have proven that it was not Zionism that caused this ongoing conflict, but the pan-Arabic racist reaction towards it.
Terror is not something one learns to live with. It is something which the Israel and US governments are obligated to completely destroy. No decent government should sit down and negotiate with murderers.

“We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement…We will wish the Jews a most hearty welcome home.” — The Emir Fayzal to Felix Frankfurter of the American Zionist delegation, Paris Peace Conference, 1919. Reprinted in “The Arab Israeli Conflict: Documents Vol III, pages 42-49, John Moore, editor.

Smooth Stone corroborates the actual facts against the mythology generated from Arab governments, Arab news sources as well as from Arabist and left-wing media sources.

No Arab land is occupied by Israel
Thursday, 8th January, 2009
By Ben Okiror

THE current fighting in the Gaza Strip needs clarification for people to understand its genesis. I accept that the situation is complex, and that might explain why even the US President-elect, Barack Obama has so far opted to remain silent since the war broke out.

However, I would like to bring out what seems to have been ignored and yet it is important for a balanced analysis of the conflict.

Whereas on the surface it is the terrorist group, Hamas, fighting the only Jewish nation, Israel, it is in fact a continuation of the war that Arabs have waged against the Jews since Israel was created in 1948.

The geographic area called “Palestine” was governed by the British after it took it from the Turks at the end of the First World War.

The League of Nations (precursor to the United Nations), according to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, mandated Britain to create a Jewish state in all of “Palestine” due to historical right.

Tragically, Britain did not fulfill its mandate and instead created a formerly nonexistent Arab-Palestinian state called “Transjordan” (now Jordan) on 77% of the Jewish soil in 1922.

Even when the United Nations decided on the Partition Plan on November, 29 1947, Britain voted against it and all the Arab states boycotted the vote.

Never mind that the Plan that gave the Jews only 23% of its original land was not legally binding since the UN Security Council did not ratify it.

In 1948 Britain abandoned Palestine without fulfilling its primary responsibility. Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948 but was attacked by six Arab states the next day.

Ironically, Jordan was led, armed and trained by Britain. It invaded occupied and annexed Samaria and Judea (now called the “West Bank”) as well as East Jerusalem.

On the other hand, Egypt invaded and occupied Gaza. These are the so-called “occupied territories” after Israel recaptured them in 1967.

Incidentally, for 19 years when Egypt and Jordan were in charge of those territories, nobody cared about creating a Palestinian state.

Instead Jordan destroyed 58 synagogues in East Jerusalem and desecrated 38,000 of the 50,000 ancient and modern Jewish graves in the cemetery on the Mount of Olives. They used the stones for latrines and walkways.

In 1967 when Egypt and Syria announced on national media their intention to attack Israel, Jordan joined and attacked Israel.

However, Israel defeated them all and took back Gaza and the “West Bank”, including capturing the Golan Heights from Syria from where it was shelling Israeli territory for sometime.

Due to international pressure, Israel, under prime minister Ariel Sharon, about two years ago, uprooted Jewish settlements from Gaza, from where Hamas has been firing rockets at Israel.

Last week alone it fired about 500 rockets. To those calling for peace talks, how can you talk peace with a person who does not recognise your existence and seeks to destroy you?

The goal of Arabs is simple: to wipe out the state of Israel from the map and create the twenty-second Arab state. If anyone doubts me, just listen to what Yasser Arafat, the late leader of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, told a reporter, Arianna Palazzi in 1970:

“The question of borders doesn’t interest us…From the Arab standpoint, we mustn’t talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean.

Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it….The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call ‘Jordan’ is nothing more than Palestine.” Need I say more?

Arab terrorism, with its commitment to the eradication of Israel, is the principal cause of the collapse of the peace process. Terrorism’s primary targets are virtually all the Middle Eastern regimes—not just Israel’s but those of the surrounding Arab countries as well. Fear of being overthrown by terrorists leads those regimes, in an effort to divert their people’s attention toward external targets, to inundate them with anti-Israel propaganda. Israel’s willingness in recent years to abandon its formerly nonnegotiable positions—and the withdrawal of Israel Defense Forces from southern Lebanon and the offer to give up the Golan Heights to Syria—has created a conviction among Arabs that terrorism is working and that no accommodation of Israel need be considered.

The Arab world today consists of 21 countries, all members of the League of Arab States. Few seem comfortable with their own statehood except as a means of casting a veil of international legitimacy over their own version of power politics. Some, such as Morocco, are hereditary paternalistic monarchies whose royal heads are uneasy indeed. Some are secular regimes on the national socialist model, dominated by the Ba’th Party. Still others, such as Egypt and Syria, borrowed Western constitutional forms but have never achieved legitimacy because they have not been accompanied by democratic freedoms. A look at the region as a whole reveals inauthentic “states” attempting to function within the concept of pan-Arabism (one Arab nation) within the wider body of states—members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, where, if anywhere, the unfilled office of the caliphate resides—with a commitment to pan-Islam. All these concepts hamper the full participation of the region in the contemporary international system of states. The absence of credible political systems and the inability to participate in a world of state powers incite protests under the banner of Islam.

George Will, “America must preempt next level of terrorism.”
In 1967, on the eve of the Six-Day War, Egypt’s President Nasser proclaimed: “We are confronting Israel and the West as well.” Netanyahu says: “The soldiers of militant Islam and Pan-Arabism do not hate the West because of Israel; they hate Israel because of the West.” They hate “Zionism as an expression and representation of Western civilization.” And they hate America because it is the purest expression of modernity— individualism, pluralism, freedom, secularism.

Palestinians ‘Peoplehood’ Based on a Big Lie
Eli E. Hertz

The Palestinians claim that they are an ancient and indigenous people fails to stand up to historic scrutiny. Most Palestinian Arabs were newcomers to British Mandate Palestine. Until the 1967 Six-Day War made it expedient for Arabs to create a Palestinian peoplehood, local Arabs simply considered themselves part of the ‘great Arab nation’ or ‘southern Syrians.’

“Repeat a lie often enough and people will begin to believe it.”
– Nazi propaganda master Joseph Goebbels

“All [that Palestinians] can agree on as a community is what they want to destroy, not what they want to build.”
– New York Times columnist Thomas Friedmaann.

There is no age-old Palestinian people. Most so-called Palestinians are relative newcomers to the Land of Israel Like a mantra, Arabs repeatedly claim that the Palestinians are a native people. The concept of a ‘Stateless Palestinian people’ is not based on fact. It is a fabrication.

Palestinian Arabs cast themselves as a native people in “Palestine” — like the Aborigines in Australia or Native Americans in America. They portray the Jews as European imperialists and colonizers. This is simply untrue.

Until the Jews began returning to the Land of Israel in increasing numbers from the late 19th century to the turn of the 20th, the area called Palestine was a God-forsaken backwash that belonged to the Ottoman Empire, based in Turkey.

The land’s fragile ecology had been laid waste in the wake of the Arabs’ 7th-century conquest. In 1799, the population was at it lowest and estimated to be no more than 250,000 to 300,000 inhabitants in all the land.

At the turn of the 20th century, the Arab population west of the Jordan River (today, Israel and the West Bank) was about half a million inhabitants and east of the Jordan River perhaps 200,000.

The collapse of the agricultural system with the influx of nomadic tribes after the Arab conquest that created malarial swamps and denuded the ancient terrace system eroding the soil, was coupled by a tyrannous regime, a crippling tax system and absentee landowners that further decimated the population. Much of the indigenous population had long since migrated or disappeared. Very few Jews or Arabs lived in the region before the arrival of the first Zionists in the 1880s and most of those that did lived in abject poverty.

Most Arabs living west of the Jordan River in Israel, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza are newcomers who came from surrounding Arab lands after the turn of the 20th century because they were attracted to the relative economic prosperity brought about by the Zionist Movement and the British in the 1920s and 1930s.

This is substantiated by eyewitness reports of a deserted country — including 18th-century reports from the British archaeologist Thomas Shaw, French author and historian Count Constantine Volney (Travels through Syria and Egypt, 1798); the mid-19th-century writings of Alphonse de Lamartine (Recollections of the East, 1835); Mark Twain (Innocents Abroad, 1867); and reports from the British Consul in Jerusalem (1857) that were sent back to London.

The Ottoman Turks’ census (1882) recorded only 141,000 Muslims in the Land of Israel. The real number is probably closer to 350,000 to 425,000, since many hid to avoid taxes. The British census in 1922 reported 650,000 Muslims.

Aerial photographs taken by German aviators during World War I show an underdeveloped country composed mainly of primitive hamlets. Ashdod, for instance, was a cluster of mud dwellings, Haifa a fishing village. In 1934 alone, 30,000 Syrian Arabs from the Hauran moved across the northern frontier into Mandate Palestine, attracted by work in and around the newly built British port and the construction of other infrastructure projects. They even dubbed Haifa Um el-Amal (‘the city of work’).

The fallacy of Arab claims that most Palestinians were indigenous to Palestine — not newcomers – is also bolstered by a 1909 vintage photograph of Nablus, today an Arab city on the West Bank with over 121,000 residents. Based on the number of buildings in the photo taken from the base of Mount Gerizim, the population in 1909 — Muslim Arabs and Jewish Samaritans — could not have been greater than 2,000 residents.

Family names of many Palestinians attest to their non-Palestinian origins. Just as Jews bear names like Berliner, Warsaw and Toledano, modern phone books in the Territories are filled with families named Elmisri (Egyptian), Chalabi (Syrian), Mugrabi (North Africa). Even George Habash — the arch-terrorist and head of Black September — bears a name with origins in Abyssinia or Ethiopia, Habash in both Arabic and Hebrew.

Palestinian nationality is an entity defined by its opposition to Zionism, and not its national aspirations.

What unites Palestinians has been their opposition to Jewish nationalism and the desire to stamp it out, not aspirations for their own state. Local patriotic feelings are generated only when a non-Islamic entity takes charge — such as Israel did after the 1967 Six-Day War. It dissipates under Arab rule, no matter how distant or despotic.

A Palestinian identity did not exist until an opposing force created it — primarily anti-Zionism. Opposition to a non-Muslim nationalism on what local Arabs, and the entire Arab world, view as their own turf, was the only expression of ‘Palestinian peoplehood.’

The Grand Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini, a charismatic religious leader and radical anti-Zionist was the moving force behind opposition to Jewish immigration in the 1920s and 1930s. The two-pronged approach of the “Diplomacy of Rejection” (of Zionism) and the violence the Mufti incited occurred at the same time Lebanon, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq became countries in the post-Ottoman reshuffling of territories established by the British and the French under the League of Nation’s mandate system.

The tiny educated class among the Arabs of Palestine was more politically aware than the rest of Arab society, with the inklings of a separate national identity. However, for decades, the primary frame of reference for most local Arabs was the clan or tribe, religion and sect, and village of origin. If Arabs in Palestine defined themselves politically, it was as “southern Syrians.” Under Ottoman rule, Syria referred to a region much larger than the Syrian Arab Republic of today, with borders established by France and England in 1920.

In his book Greater Syria: The History of an Ambition, Daniel Pipes explains:

“Syria was a region that stretched from the borders of Anatolia to those of Egypt, from the edge of Iraq to the Mediterranean Sea. In terms of today’s states, the Syria of old comprised Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan, plus the Gaza Strip and Alexandria.”

Syrian maps in the 21st century still co-opt most of Greater Syria, including Israel.

The Grand Mufti Al-Husseini’s aspirations slowly shifted from pan-Arabism — the dream of uniting all Arabs into one polity, whereby Arabs in Palestine would unite with their brethren in Syria – to winning a separate Palestinian entity, with himself at the helm. Al-Husseini was the moving force behind the 1929 riots against the Jews and the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt against two non-Muslim entities in Palestine — the British and the Jews. He gathered a large following by playing on fears that the Jews had come to dispossess, or at least dominate the Arabs.

Much like Yasser Arafat, the Grand Mufti’s ingrained all-or-nothing extremism, fanaticism and even an inability to cooperate with his own compatriots made him totally ineffective. He led the Palestinian Arabs nowhere.

The ‘Palestinian’ cause became a key rallying point for Arab nationalism throughout the Middle East, according to Oxford historian Avi Shlaim. The countries the British and French created in 1918-1922 were based largely on meridians on the map, as is evident in the borders that delineate the Arab states today. Because these states lack ethnic logic or a sense of community, their opposition to the national aspirations of the Jews has come to fuel that fires Arab nationalism as the ‘glue’ of national identity.

From the 1920s, rejection of Jewish nationalism, attempts to prevent the establishment of a Jewish homeland by violence, and rejection of any form of Jewish political power, including any plans to share stewardship with Arabs, crystallized into the expression of Palestinianism. No other positive definition of an Arab-Palestinian people has surfaced. This point is admirably illustrated in the following historic incident:

“In 1926, Lord Plumer was appointed as the second High Commissioner of Palestine. The Arabs within the Mandate were infuriated when Plumer stood up for the Zionists’ national anthem Hatikva during ceremonies held in his honor when Plumer first visited Tel Aviv. When a delegation of Palestinian Arabs protested Plumer’s ‘Zionist bias,’ the High Commissioner asked the Arabs if he remained seated when their national anthem was played, ‘wouldn’t you regard my behavior as most unmannerly?’ Met by silence, Plumer asked: ‘By the way, have you got a national anthem?’ When the delegation replied with chagrin that they did not, he snapped back, “I think you had better get one as soon as possible.”

But it took the Palestinians more than 60 years to heed Plumer’s advice, adopting Anthem of the Intifada two decades after Israel took over the West Bank and Gaza in 1967 — at the beginning of the 1987 Intifada.

Under the Mandate, local Arabs also refused to establish an ‘Arab Agency’ to develop the Arab sector, parallel to the Jewish Agency that directed development of the Jewish sector.

In fact, the so-called patriotism of indigenous Muslims has flourished only when non-Muslim entities (the Crusaders, the British, the Jews) have taken charge of the Holy Land. When political control returns to Muslim hands, the ardent patriotism of the Arabs of Palestine magically wanes, no matter how distant or how despotic the government. One Turkish pasha who ruled Acco (Acre) between 1775 and 1804 was labeled Al Jazzar, The Butcher, by locals.

Why hasn’t Arab representative government ever been established in Palestine, either in 1948 or during the next 19 years of Arab rule? Because other Arabs co-opted the Palestinian cause as a rallying point that would advance the concept that the territory was up for grabs. “The Arab invasion of Palestine was not a means for achieving an independent Palestine, but rather the result of a lack of consensus on the part of the Arab states regarding such independence,” summed up one historian. Adherents to a separate Palestinian identity were a mute minority on the West Bank and Gaza during the 19 years of Jordanian and Egyptian rule – until Israel took control from the Jordanians and the Egyptians in 1967. Suddenly a separate Palestinian peoplehood appeared and claimed it deserved nationhood – and 21 other Arab states went along with it.

Palestinianism in and of itself lacks any substance of its own. Arab society on the West Bank and Gaza suffers from deep social cleavages created by a host of rivalries based on divergent geographic, historical, geographical, sociological and familial allegiances. What glues Palestinians together is a carefully nurtured hatred of Israel and the rejection of Jewish nationhood.

ISRAEL – FACING GENOCIDE FROM ISLAMO ARABS – PAST AND PRESENT

Arab Countries Reaction to the State of Israel:
The invasion was hardly surprising. Mufti el-Husseini, one of the worst Nazi collaborators, called for Jihad against Jews in a 1943 broadcast from Radio Berlin during the height of the Holocaust:

Kill the Jews wherever you find them, this is pleasing to Allah.
Prior to the 1948 war against Israel, the Iraqi Prime Minister said all the Arabs would need would be “a few brooms” to drive the Jews into the sea. All they were waiting for was the British and said, “once we get the green light from the British we can easily throw out the Jews.” [Quote from Sir Geoffrey Furlonge, "Palestine Is My Country: The Story of Musa Alami (Praeger Press, 1969)]

On the day that Israel declared its independence (May 15, 1948), Azzam Pasha, Secretary General of the Arab League, at Cairo press conference, (reported in the New York Times, May 16, 1948) declared “jihad”, a holy war. He said that the Arab states rejected partition and intended to set up a “United State of Palestine.” He then stated:

This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades”.

The problem of Arab refugees was a consequence of failed Arab attempts to annihilate the Jewish state and was recognized as such by various Arab leaders at the time who placed responsibility on those Arab states which had encouraged the wholesale exodus from Palestine.
Not only did Arab governments not take responsibility for the Arab refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict but they managed to make the world community pay for the refugees� welfare. The refugees were used as pawns for the next assault on the Jewish state, the 1967 Six Day War, whose goal according to Iraqi President Rahman Aref, was “to wipe Israel off the map“. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel-Nasser concurred stating “our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel.” Even after their defeat, the Arabs were still not prepared to accept Israel (as emphatically stated at the 1967 Khartoum Conference), and continued to try to destroy the country 1973 by initiating war again on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar….

Palestinian Authority Sermons 2000-2003

Introduction
The following report consists of Palestinian sermons from 2000-2003. Each Khatib (preacher) is a paid employee of the Palestinian Authority (PA). The sermons are broadcast live every Friday at noon from mosques under control of the PA and are shown on PA television. Part I of this report includes the common themes of the sermons, such as: calls for the destruction of the U.S., the perceived American Crusader war against Islam, honoring Shahids and the rewards of the martyrs, educating children to martyrdom, and antisemitism, including calls for the killing of Jews….
“Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them – and those who stand by them – they are all in one trench, against the Arabs and the Muslims – because they established Israel here, in the beating heart of the Arab world, in Palestine. They created it to be the outpost of their civilization – and the vanguard of their army, and to be the sword of the West and the Crusaders, hanging over the necks of the monotheists, the Muslims in these lands. They wanted the Jews to be their spearhead …

“… Let us put our trust in Allah, close ranks, and unite our words, and the slogan of us all should be, ‘Jihad! Jihad! For the sake of Palestine, and for the sake of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa!’

“… We will not give up a single grain of soil of Palestine, from Haifa, and Jaffa, and Acre, and Mulabbas [Petah Tikva] and Salamah, and Majdal [Ashkelon], and all the land, and Gaza, and the West Bank …

JEWS ARE FROM ISRAEL, SO-CALLED “PALESTIANS” FROM [S] ARABIA

Posted by Palestinian Facts Org, August 29, 2006.

Arabs [propagandists] claim that (some of ?) today’s (white) Jews aren’t really descendants of ancient Israelites and are really converts WITHOUT EVER SHOWING ANY PROOF.

Here’s GENETIC PROOF that not only are Jews descendants of the Jews who were exiled from Israel by Romans, but Jews of today have more Israelite genes than Arabs have genes of ancient Arabs. Furthermore, SO-CALLED “palestinians” are originally from Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Go back wherever the hell you came from!

University of Baltimore Study: Jews are originally from northern Middle East (where Israel is located), while SO-CALLED “palestinians” are originally from Saudi Arabia.

The study also says that while Jews are partially the product of mixed-marriages and converts, Jews have about 70% to 80% blood of ancient Israelites, while Arabs have only 50% blood of ancient Arabs. (http://www.ubalt.edu/kulanu/jewishdna.html), National Academy of Sciences: Several lines of evidence support the hypothesis that Diaspora Jews from Europe, Northwest Africa, and the Near East resemble each other more closely than they resemble their non-Jewish neighbors.

Second, despite their high degree of geographic dispersion, Jewish populations from Europe, North Africa, and the Near East were less diverged genetically from each other than any other group of populations in this study (meaning that Jews have more Israelite genes than Arabs have genes of ancient Arabs). Our results indicated a relatively minor contribution of European Y chromosomes to the Ashkenazim. If we assume 80 generations since the founding of the Ashkenazi population, then the rate of admixture would be <0.5% per generation.

Stanford University: If you made a genetic map of Europe and the Middle East and you put Ashkenazi Jews on it, they would not end up in Turkey or in the middle of Europe, but in the Mediterranean.

http://www.forward.com/issues/2001/01.08.17/genetic2.html

University of Arizona: We saw such a strong signal of a Middle-Eastern origin in Jews. Jews really are a single ethnic group coming from the Middle East. Even if you look like another European with blue eyes and light skin, your genes are telling that you’re from the Middle East.

http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/000519/study.shtml

NY Times: The analysis provides genetic witness that these communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries.

http://foundationstone.com.au/htmlSupport/WebPage/semiticGenetics.html

Reuters (on Yahoo web site): A study shows that Jews suffer from the same illnesses. If Jews were mere French, Polish, etc. converts, they would not share the same genetic makeup with each other.

http://in.news.yahoo.com/011217/107/1b4p6.html

ABC News: “Jews have preserved their Middle Eastern genetic roots over 4,000 years. Very few non-Jewish European genes have gotten into the Ashkenazi (European and American) Jewish populations. The comparison, published Monday, of groups of Semites also shows that Jews have successfully resisted having their gene pool diluted, despite having lived among non-Jews for thousands of years in what is commonly known as the Diaspora

BAD CHOICES

Can you feel for those that choose to stay in misery out of blind hate, an evil choice of having hate for the other [non Arab-Muslim entity in the middle east, though on it's historic land].

A choice that would prefer schools for DEATH, [indoctrination of "martyrdom"] suicide, homicide and genocide, over any improvement in its life education of LIFE.

The vast investment of human energy, national and individual, towards Jihadism, racism and Islamic-fascism replacing any natural growth of any group of people.

ONE BIG LIE FROM THE START AND STILL GOING ON

If you thought that the infamous ‘Pallywood’ (http://www.seconddraft.org/movies.php), of notorious ‘Palestinian’ talent in producing false images, photos and videos, to dramatize the so called ‘palestinian plight’, is a new phenomenon?

Truth must be told that it’s in the core of ‘Palestinian-ism’, ever since this group of mostly Arab immigrants into the land of the Jews have decided to rewrite history [in order to "legitimize" their ethnic cleansing of the Jews] as if they’re “natives” in the Jewish land, it has been their “culture” ever since.

At the 1948 initiated Arab war on Israel [with the specific goal of annihilation, or in their words "to throw them all into the sea"], the Arabs in Israel/palestine had a routine of calling every battle they lost to the ‘Zionists’ as “massacre”.

There was not one accord that the ‘palestinians’ ever complied with, time and time again, Camp David, Oslo accords and the like, were all ceremonies of shaking hands and the infamous butcher thief, the Egyptian born ‘palestinian icon: Yasser Arafat, never ever honored a word he uttered.
All those promises of stopping terror – massacres, the hatred on official TV, and mainstream education headed by the PA, were stopped at just that, promises.

Nor is the current so called “moderate” Mahmoud Abbas any good in honoring agreements, there’s not really a change in ‘Palestinian’ official media and schools curriculum of glorifying mass murder and hating the non-Arab non-Muslim entity in the holy land [see updated documentation at: http://PMW.org.il].

Abbas – Fatah (including its terror wing the: ‘Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade’) is not really “moderate”, it’s still Islamo Arab militant evil, it’s just that Hamas which is all out in the open about genocide of the Jews, and in their vouched destruction of Israel in their charter, in its current proclamation, (or in their word, “Drinking the blood of the Jews”), is far worse.

ARAB PALESTINIAN & ISLAMIC HEZBOLLAH MANUAL: ‘HOW TO MAKE SURE ARAB KIDS DIE’

We eagerly await a [a light at the end of the 'biased media' tunnel] total exposure on this unspeakable crimes of these parents, teachers and leaders in bringing about their kids’ deaths (by pushing them in the frontline, covering for terrorists with machine guns and other despicable tactics), all while the Arab world has been rejoicing and having a ‘good time’, as they’re being [unjustifiably] looked upon as the “victim”.

Who’s to Blame for Palestinian Suffering?
Armstrong Williams
Friday, Mar. 19, 2004
Many people see the Arab-Israeli conflict as a hopeless morass, a maelstrom of hatred with no beginning or end. Both sides are victims and victimizers, so goes the refrain.
It is true that both sides are suffering, but on closer examination this neat symmetry of blame breaks down.

Over the past two weeks we recorded my syndicated television show from Jerusalem. During that time, we talked to Israeli Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu about his attempts to revamp the Israeli economy along more free-market lines.

We also talked to Diaspora Affairs Minister Natan Sharansky, a former Soviet dissident, about being imprisoned for 13 years, much of it in the Siberian gulag, and continuing the fight for human rights as an Israeli elected official.

Sharansky sees no contradiction between his struggle for human rights then and now.

“On one hand, so many people feel Israel is a big violator of human rights, but I know Israel demonstrates more sensitivity to human rights than any other democracy in the world,” said Sharansky, who added, “the depth of all concessions should only be [comparable] to the depth of democracy on the other side.”

In Ramallah I met with Palestinian Authority Minister Saeb Erekat, who condemned the recent outbreak of suicide bombings. He also cackled at Sharansky’s assessment of himself as a human rights activist and wondered aloud how the Jewish people, who have historically suffered so much oppression, could be so brutal in their treatment of Palestinian Arabs.

The Palestinians, however, are no strangers to brutality. This week Israeli soldiers caught a 11-year-old boy who had been given a bag to carry through a checkpoint on his way to school.

The bag was full of explosives, and when the child was detained the terrorists tried to set the bomb off by dialing the attached cell phone. The bomb failed to explode, but if it had, it would have produced the scenes I saw at Israel’s Hadassah Hospital: Victims of suicide bombings are stretched out in their cots, their faces dotted with red shrapnel marks, green and blue tubes strung up across and through their bodies.

Along the West Bank and Gaza, cars are smashed and burning. Mourners drag themselves across the sands in grim funeral processions. Kids chant, “I want to be a martyr.”

Which brings us to the next point. People assume that the Palestinian suicide bombers are dying for a cause. Oftentimes, they are not. Military and police sources shared countless stories that suggest the suicide attacks are a response not to Israel, but to the oppressive forces within the Palestinian society.

Our military sources recalled the story of a woman who recently detonated herself and four others at the border checkpoint. What went unreported was that the woman had been found to be having an adulterous affair.

She was given a choice: Be stoned to death, or go on a suicide bombing mission. She chose the latter as it was the only option that would restore “honor” to her family.

Our intelligence sources also talked about how more and more children are being used to deliver explosives. Often it is younger siblings, traditionally treated as second-class citizens, who try to affix honor to their names by carrying out bombings.

This sort of pathology is maintained through social and religious myths that indoctrinate the youth to extremism. Schoolrooms are decorated with pictures of suicide bombers, who are praised and glorified by teachers.

One of the most popular pastimes amongst school kids is a card game called “how to be a suicide bomber.” From a young age these children are taught to blame the ruin of their lives on a nexus of crippling political decisions handed down by Israel.

In a land where large pluralities of the populace are starving and lack a sense of future possibilities, this kind of social conditioning holds a special appeal, as it suggests a more glorious alternative to their daily poverty.

Of course, the Palestinian leadership knows that it cannot dislodge Israel by force. And yet it continues to condition its citizens to engage in brutal and arbitrary suicide attacks.

The obvious implication is that many Palestinian suicide bombers aren’t dying for change so much as they are dying because their own oppressive government is using them as pawns to keep themselves in power by distracting from their own failed rule.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian people suffer. They are impoverished. They lack a court system, and even many basic rights we associate with happiness.

Their leaders have created a society dedicated not to building their own state but toward destroying another – and sacrificing their own children in the process.

It is in the world’s interest to have a peaceful Palestinian state. This will not occur until the Palestinians are no longer oppressed – not by Israel, but by the Palestinian dictators who empower themselves by sending hopeless citizens across the border to detonate themselves.

History Upside Down: The Roots of Palestinian Fascism and the Myth of Israeli Aggression (Hardcover)

Editorial Reviews
Review
David Meir-Levi’s “brief encounter” offers a solid approach to understanding the basics of the Arab-Israeli conflict, arguably the world’s most persistent and polarized political issue. History Upside Down applies great common sense where demagogues and ignorami too often dominate. — D. Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum and author of Militant Islam Reaches America

In order for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be resolved, the demonology will have to be taken out of it, and the historical and political facts allowed to speak for themselves dispassionately. David Meir-Levi shows how this can be done. — David Pryce-Jones, author of Betrayal: France, the Arabs, and the Jews

Product Description
Forty years ago, a significant part of the political, religious, intellectual, and terrorist leadership of the Arab world declared an all-out war against the documented history of the Middle East and America’s role in the Muslim world. Arab PR professionals and spinmeisters have rewritten the record for political and propaganda purposes. Blaming the Victim is the first wave in a counterattack against that Arab war on history.

“Innocent Palestinians”, say what? who?
Hmm, a tiny fringy minority – maybe!

Don’t you “love” it, to hear the term ‘innocent
Palestinians’? another great production of the ‘Palestinian’
propaganda greased by international monstrous Arab oil [not to be confused with
helping any Arab 'Palestinians, which the Arab world never thought nor seeks to,
of course, on the contrary, the Arab leaders have an "interest" & often
'help' in Arab Muslim 'Palestinians' kept down, amazing as it is, it serves
them an anti Zionist bashing front and a diversion from their oppression,
corruption and crimes on their own people] and Arab-Muslim political power
worldwide.

Well, why don’t we examine the true meaning of
“innocent”?

True, usually, in any nation, group, the vast majority is
innocent, well meaning, its intentions, actions are directed towards
positivity.

However, the “specialty” of ‘Palestinians’ is that their
overwhelming majority is guilty, and I will explain why.

* A society that its mainstream glorifies mass murder
["martyrdom"] (see: http://pmw.org.il, http://memri.org
), is sick to the core.

* A society that votes overwhelmingly for the genocidal party
the Islamic Hamas – which up to this day still declares to annihilate all
[non-Arabs, non-Muslims, AKA] Jews (http://pmw.org.il/bulletins_apr2007.htm#b120407 ) from Israel, and promotes Islamic supremacy domination all
over the world (http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/2790, http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=661486&contrassID=2&subContrassID=15&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y, http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/016618.php ), is by-in-large a part in this fascist ideology and
deed.

* A society that it polls show, most favor ethnic cleansing of
Jews from its historic land and genocide bombing [carefully planned to be
carried out in the most crowded of places, specifically intended to
massacre as many unarmed innocent Israeli civilians as possible], is a
racist genocidal ”society”.

* A society that encourages to sell one’s child to the
devil, to the death camps (see: http://TecahKidsPeace.org ), where religious
figures and parents love to instill hate in their children for the “apes and
pigs” [AKA Christians & Jews], where mothers from hell “love” their
children in the Islamic militant ideology of ‘kill & be killed’ -
‘Palestinian’ motherhood, is twisted all around.

* A society that since its inception has produced nothing but
lies, denying that most were immigrants into the land of the Jews, calling every
lost battle a “massacre”, then expanding the monster lying machine of fake
images Pallywood (see: http://www.take-a-pen.org/english/Articles/PLE.htm, http://www.seconddraft.org/movies.php)
and never honored one detail of any peace agreement with Israel, can’t
claim to have one iota of honesty in its entity, [Never forget this, every
time you hear "Palestinians" say, claim, just about anything of a "Palestinian"
source has about the same degree of credibility].

* A society that chooses death over life, Jihadism over
education, self destruction over advancement, is the “best” model for self made
misery.

* A society that shoots behind little shoulders of own kids,
or behind squirts of own women, is nothing but the “perfection” of
cowardice evil.

* A society that would do anything so that its kids die [from
covering for adults terrorists, plain shooting its Arab kids like Muhammad Al
Dura, pushing children in the frontline, to firing from crowded areas, etc.], in
order to be looked upon as a “victim”, can’t be granted that.

WE JUST CAN’T GRANT THEM THAT!

Arabs, Muslims vs Israel = Arab Racism & Islamic Bigotry

The “twin fascisms” – that dominate the Arab world – Islamism & pan-Arabism
frontpagemag 10, 2007

All minorities living within the Arab world are under siege. Tunisian human rights activist Muhammad Bechri has traced this to the “twin fascisms” – his term – that dominate the Arab world, Islamism and pan-Arabism. The first promotes murderous intolerance of religious minorities. It helps explain why Christians are under siege across the Arab world and why Sudan enjoyed broad Arab support as it killed some two million non-Muslim blacks in the south of the country. Pan-Arabism translates into endorsement of murderous policies toward Muslim but non-Arab groups and accounts for Arab support for Saddam Hussein as he slaughtered 200,000 Kurds in northern Iraq, as well as backing for Sudanese policies toward the Muslim but black population of Darfur.

The Arab world is not about to make an exception for the Jews. This broad intolerance of minorities is further evidence of how unlikely it is the Arab world will accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state in its midst any time soon.

History Upside Down: The Roots of Palestinian Fascism and the Myth of Israeli Aggression

In the United Nations, on university campuses, and among a growing number of our most prestigious Western newspapers, the historical record has been rewritten so thoroughly that Israel is seen as the worst of the oppressive Western occupiers of the Third World. So successful has this propaganda campaign been that Palestinian spinmeisters and their apologists have effectively declared the Israelis, a people living in the shadow of the Holocaust, to be “Nazis.” How could this happen? How did unacceptable anti-Semitism morph into justifiable anti-Zionism, and odious Jew-hatred turn into a politically correct Israel-hatred? In History Upside Down, David Meir-Levi exposes the ideological DNA of Palestinian nationalism and its ludicrous “alternative” histories, revealing how Nazi fascism gave the Arab world’s amorphous hatred of the Jews an intellectual structure and how Soviet communism masked its genocidal intentions with the mantle of national liberation.

Meir-Levi then explodes the cornerstone myths that the Palestinian movement created–myths that rationalize and celebrate decades of unremitting terror and genocidal ambitions, turning the history of the Middle East upside down and inside out, making the victim the aggressor and the aggressor the victim. History Upside Down is the first wave in a counterattack against this Arab war on history. It rejects the idea that the basic situation in the Middle East has changed since the United Nations first established the Jewish state and the Palestinian state that would have stood alongside it. Sadly, argues Meir-Levi, the issue in the Middle East is today what it has been since the Muslim invasion in the seventh century: the Arabs’ hatred of the Jews.

Arab racism must go – There will be no peace around here before Arabs view Jews as human beings.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3478505,00.html

It’s about the bigotry … Make no mistake: Arab racism is killing Jews. These bigoted myths and conspiracy theories brainwash Palestinian children to commit suicide bombings against Jews. Innocent children play death games, such as collecting “martyr” cards with pictures of suicide bombers.”
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=98947

The Arabs must overcome their long-standing, pervasive hatred of Israel and the Jews before Israel can hope to have a lasting peace with Arab neighbors.

http://www.pjvoice.com/v14/14102jewfree.html

…In fact, Palestinian terrorism is virtually missing from Carter’s entire historical account, which blames nearly everything on Israel and almost nothing on the Palestinians. Incredibly, he asserts that the initial violence in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict occurred when “Jewish militants” attacked Arabs in 1939. The long history of Palestinian terrorism against Jews—which began in 1929 when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem ordered the slaughter of more than 100 rabbis, students and non-Zionist Sfardim whose families had lived in Hebron and other ancient Jewish cities for millennia—was motivated by religious bigotry. The Jews responded to this racist violence by establishing a defense force. There is no mention of the long history of Palestinian terrorism before the occupation, or of the Munich massacre and others inspired by Arafat. There is not even a reference to the Karine A, the boatful of terrorist weapons ordered by Arafat in January 2002.
The Carter book is so filled with simple mistakes of fact…

F L A M E : Racism in the Islamic World: How can peace prevail in the Middle East in the face of Islamic bigotry and hate?
http://www.factsandlogic.org/ad_94b.html

What role does bigotry play in the Arab-Israeli conflict?

Al Da’wa (The Mission), a prominent Islamic publication, identifies the status of Israel with the status of the individual Jew. Here, Israel is merely the Jew in macrocosm:
“The race is corrupt at the root, full of duplicity, and the Muslims have everything to lose in seeking to deal with them; they must be exterminated.”
Following are some recent statements by senior PA officials, all of which are flagrantly anti-Jewish and several of which incorporate sordid anti-Jewish stereotypes…
- Palestinian representative Nabil Ramlawi at a session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, Jerusalem Post, March 17 1997.
The theme of Palestine as the grave of Israel and of the Jews in general is a persistent motif in Arab orientations toward Israel. Here the following claim, made by Dr. Yahya al-Rakhawi in Al-Akhbar, the organ of Egypt’s Liberal Party, on July 19, 1982, is typical:

“When the State of Israel was established and…was recognized by many, in both East and West, one of the reasons for this recognition was the desire of the people in the East and West to get rid of as many as possible of the representatives of that human error known as the Jews. Behind this motive was another, secret purpose: to concentrate them in one place, so that it would be easier to strike at the right moment.”

The Peel Commission Report stated in 1937 [Q: When was Israel established? A: 1948] that the conflict between the Arabs’ and the Jews’ aspirations is “irrepressible” and “irreconcilable” and that it is “difficult to be an Arab patriot and not to hate the Jews.”

The hatred never subsides. It is developed and nurtured every hour, every day through all possible means. It is encouraged in kindergartens, schools and universities where the Arab children and youngsters learn that the Jews are their enemies. It is preached in mosques where the “Zionist entity” is presented as an eternal threat to the Moslem world. It is flourishing in refugee camps where the Jews are known as “the usurpers and barbarians that have expelled the ‘poor’ Palestinian Arabs from their homes.” It is pouring like venom from newspaper pages in every Arab country.
New blood libels are created and the old ones are revived. The Arab world has an enemy–Israel. Anything bad that is happening is blamed on Israel. This is why, after the decision of the German government to reconsider its ties with Iran, due to killings in Germany of members of the Iranian opposition, a demonstration several hundred thousand people strong was staged in Iran under a slogan, “Death to Israel!”

Egyptian cleric: The Jews “are enemies not because they occupied Palestine. They would have been enemies even if they did not occupy a thing.” [March 6, 2009 ]

They keep telling us that it isn’t about “stolen land,” and that land concessions and even the creation of a Palestinian state will not end the conflict. And we keep refusing to believe it.

“Egyptian Cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub: The Jews Are the Enemies of Muslims Regardless of the Occupation of Palestine,” from MEMRI TV, January 17 (just posted), with thanks to Sr. Soph:

Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub, which aired on Al-Rahma TV on January 17, 2009.
Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub: If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels – not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: “The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them. How deluded they are.” It is Allah who said that they are infidels.

That’s Qur’an 9:30.

Your belief regarding the Jews should be, first, that they are infidels, and second, that they are enemies. They are enemies not because they occupied Palestine. They would have been enemies even if they did not occupy a thing. Allah said: “You shall find the strongest men in enmity to the disbelievers [sic] to be the Jews and the polytheists.”

Qur’an 5:82.

Third, you must believe that the Jews will never stop fighting and killing us. They [fight] not for the sake of land and security, as they claim, but for the sake of their religion: “And they will not cease fighting you until they turn you back you’re your religion, if they can.”

Qur’an 2:217.

This is it. We must believe that our fighting with the Jews is eternal, and it will not end until the final battle – and this is the fourth point. You must believe that we will fight, defeat, and annihilate them, until not a single Jew remains on the face of the Earth.
It is not me who says so. The Prophet said: “Judgment Day will not come until you fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind stones and trees, and the stones and tree will call: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him – except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews.” I have heard that they are planting many of these trees now. [...]

That Hadith can be found at Sahih Muslim 6985.

As for you Jews – the curse of Allah upon you. The curse of Allah upon you, whose ancestors were apes and pigs.

That’s Qur’an 2:62-65; 5:59-60; and 7:166.

You Jews have sown hatred in our hearts, and we have bequeathed it to our children and grandchildren. You will not survive as long as a single one of us remains.
[...]

Oh Jews, may the curse of Allah be upon you. Oh Jews… Oh Allah, bring Your wrath, punishment, and torment down upon them. Allah, we pray that you transform them again, and make the Muslims rejoice again in seeing them as apes and pigs. You pigs of the earth! You pigs of the earth! You kill the Muslims with that cold pig [blood] of yours.

And now the learned analysts will turn to one another and repeat once again that the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has nothing to do with theology, nothing to do with Islam.

Racism and Middle East Politics
… As the Imam said, ‘Israel must be wiped off the map.’ — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as quoted by Aljazeera
Anger towards Israel by its Arab neighbors is out of proportion to Israel’s sins. What we are witnessing in the Middle East is anti-Semitism, not politics. It is Jew-hatred, not a dispute over borders or rights or Palestinian statehood. This present conflict is the direct result of Arab racism and Arab intolerance.
As long as middle-eastern Arabs teach their children to hate Jews, there will be no lasting peace.
We who once held a similar disdain for black people should understand better than most what sort of challenges the Middle East faces. Generations have been taught hatred. Generations have been taught that Jews are not human beings. Generations have been taught that every piece of bad fortune has Jewish conspirators at its heart.
That sort of irrational racism can’t be eliminated by UN resolutions. It can only be reversed by sane and tolerant Arabs who are willing to speak out against their brothers.
And they better speak out soon…
I doubt that peace in the Middle East is possible. I doubt that an entire generation of Arabs will come to repent of their anti-Semitic hatred. Jews make useful whipping boys for the powerful but incompetent Arab leaders who can’t make the trains run on time, or provide decent lives for their citizens.
Until Hezbollah and Iran and Syria agree that Israel has a right to exist, and that Jews have a right to live in peace, Israel needs the protection of the West against the Hitlerian plans of the powers that surround it. The West, which has learned a few hard lessons about the evils of racism, needs to come to Israel’s defense.

Israelism defines its borders, respectful of alternative cultures.
Arabism is rogue and misinformed, it believes that all cultures must adopt its ideologies.

Iraqi Author ‘Aref ‘Alwan: The Jews Have an Historic Right to Palestine…
‘Alwan writes that the Arab League is to blame for the refusal to recognize the 1947 U.N. partition plan, for starting a war to prevent its implementation, and for the results of that war, which the Arabs call the Nakba (disaster).

He points an accusing finger at the Arab regimes, the Arab League, and the educated circles in the Arab world, saying that they had all used the term “nakba” to direct popular consciousness toward a cultural tradition that neither accepts the other side nor recognizes its rights – thereby promoting bigotry, violence and extremism. He also claims that there have been attempts to rewrite Palestinian history, in order to deny any connection between it and the Jewish people…

Islamo Arab fascism: For Arabs only, For Muslims only & Anti-Israel as an integral part of it

FOREIGN FIGHTERS IN IRAQ

Have you ever wondered what drives a Saudi, Jordanian, ‘Palestinian’ to come over to a completely foreign country: Iraq to ‘fight the infidel’ US/UK?

After all they don’t fight for ‘their country’ at all?
What’s the special bond then?
The intolerance of Jihad, or more powerful the twin evil of Arab racism & Islamic Jihad, if you are a non Arab, a non-Muslim, you ‘don’t belong here’, They are saying: ‘(No matter where we were born) We are here in our land’, the middle east is ours, and ONLY ours.

WHAT DO AL-QAEDA, HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH REFER TO WHEN MENTIONING ‘FREEDOM FIGTHING’?

Their ‘freedom fighting’ now takes a whole new diabolical meaning, doesn’t it? How about ‘free from the other race/religion/creed’? but it’s actually quite old, ancient bigotry.

ANTI-ISRAEL IS NOTHING BUT ‘ARAB RACISM & ISLAMIC JIHAD’

The Overwhelming proof that Arab Muslims’ anti-Israel campaign is nothing but bigotry, racism, fascism.

The pure facts of Arabs not wanting non Arabs, Muslims not wanting non Muslims, especially in their neighborhood, A.K.A. The Middle East.

Why else would major Arab countries unify to destroy Israel since it’s inception & the same time persecute the Arab ‘Palestinians’ living among them?

Trust me, as much as the myth of ‘Arab unity’ is in the west, you wouldn’t want to be a ‘Palestinian’ Arab in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, you name it.

Let’s not kid ourselves for one moment the fact and the reason why none of the Arab Muslim leaders ever wanted sincerely for a ‘Palestinian’ solution, 1) anti Israel galvanizing power among Arab populous is far of a great asset to their oppressive regimes on their resentful citizens, 2) It makes sure their bigoted anti-Israel campaign goes on ‘without end’, until even westerners can admit to ‘Palestinian’ misery.

Arab leaders knew/know full well that most grandfathers of today’s ‘Palestinian Arabs are no natives to Israel, the holy-land, of course they immigrated from other Arab countries.
But, you get the point, they are Arabs, they are Muslims, therefor they belong in all of the middle east, the Arab Muslim (fascism) land.

That’s also why Jews have to give up part or all of it’s land to the Arabs, even though Jews were there first historically, but, yes, again, they are not Arabs, they are not Muslims.

Explain to me what the Arabian anti-non-Arabs racist, anti-Kurd, anti-Iranian, anti-Jewish Arabian butcher Saddam Hussein meant in his final bloody legacy’s phrase: “Palestine is Arab?”
It means ‘no non Arabs in ‘Palestine’, period! ethnic cleansing, genocide, you find the clear definition for it.

The Islamic Republic of Iran that is not even a neighbor of Israel’s has nothing against Israel BUT the problem with ‘It being amidst Muslim land’.

Though the slow driving out of the Christian Arabs started off by the Arab Egyptian turned ‘Palestinian’ (somehow), Yassir Arafat, & continued by current ‘Palestinian’ Islamfscism-Hamas, anti-Christian is still not as powerful, no match to the fire motivatred by the added fuel of Arab racism, the added anti Jewish push.

Speaking of Arafat, you’d wonder How come an Egyptian could have been/become the most classical (so called) ‘Palestinian’ icon, again, there’s no contradiction, an Arab is an Arab, a Muslim is a Muslim, the middle east is pure Arab, pure Muslim, remember?

Arab racism is actually also tide much to Islamic radicalism, it’s nationalism is always fueled & glorified by the ‘cult{ure} of radical Islam’, even Iraq’s Saddam & Syria’s Asad, supposedly some seculars in their private practice, resorted to Islamic inspiration in their horrendous crimes against humanity, on their own people & fascistically on minorities.

Quote: There are two causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The first is Arab racism, which rejects any presence that is not Arab in its neighborhood; the second is Islamic intolerance which leads to the same rejection http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7268

‘WINNING HEARTS & MINDS?’ OK, WELL, MAYBE SOME, JUST DON’T HALUCINATE ABOUT IT!

What’s this constant talk about winning the hearts & minds of Islamo Arab world?

Long before the disappointment in US at the ugly ungrateful reaction by Iraqis’ after being freed from Saddam, Israel learned it the hard way, in the early 1980′s when being attacked by PLO terrorists from Lebanon, entered Lebanon as liberators from the jungle the ‘Palestinians’ have left Lebanese to deal with, hard to believe, but the Shiite Muslims actually threw flowers at the Israeli heroes, but as soon as they prolonged their stay, they were attacked by the very Lebanese Muslims, brutally.

The message was clear: OK, Thank you but good bye, Bush didn’t hear that, it seems, or he was kidding himself that the excitement would take a long time, answer: deeply rooted Arab racism & Islamic fascism for the “OTHER”, is far greater than any obligated gratitude.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not against trying to ‘win their hearts/minds’, even [in reality it can not surpass] for just a limited success, but I am against illusions that it might simply take away our realization about their fascist motivation against us, against the other.

THEIR CORE INTOLERANCE IS NOT IN OUR HANDS

Think, western leaders!
Think really hard, that they’re simply NOT ABLE to like us, we don’t “belong” in their neighborhood, that’s simply how they’re raised, leave aside the anti-colonialism revolt that has swept that world, there is a totally seperate factor, the fascism mentioned, no matter if you are a French in Algeria/Morocco, an American, Englishman in Afghanistan/Iraq, Swiss tourists in Egypt, ANY Westerner in the ‘Palestinian’ West bank, etc. (all of the above have been attacked by Islamists).

And as long as the west won’t GET IT we’ll keep on living in false imaginations & endless self-examinations of ‘how they might like us’, here’s a short answer for you:
They hate us (because of their bigotry, if our policies inflate this already factor, that’s already an entire different discussion), but fot sure they hate us even more when we are so close to them physically.

‘Keep your friends close & your enemies closer’, is way too sweet for their despicable bitterness, a bitterness yet so hypocritically masked as ‘holy’.

Nothing but ‘ARAB RACISM’ & ‘ISLAMIC BIGOTRY’ created maintains drives the ‘MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT’

Simply put, the powerful Arab Muslim majority of the middle east (convinced, they “own” the place) is intolerant against the (though democratic and multi-racial, multi-culture, still it’s majority of the population and official identity is) non-Arab, non-Muslim Israel.

THE 1920′ RACIST ATTACKS ON THE JEWS

Ever since the racist Arabs and Islamic bigots started to massacre POWERLESS innocent Jews in the 1920′s, it was always about intolerance, Any wonder now why the global devious Islamo Arab massive machine seeks to ignore the 1920′s and rather talk about the “State of Israel” being (re-)established in 1948 as the “cause”…? Or their unwillingness to elaborate about Hitler’s Mufti, the infamous Arab Muslim fascist ‘spiritual’ leader, that incited the pogrom on the Jews of Hebron in 1929? (the same Haj Amin Al-Husseini that led the Hitler-ist Nazi SS brigade into Serbia to commit crimes against humanity upon Serb Christians and on the Jews in the second world war, also led the ‘Farhud’ pogrom upon Jews in Iraq in 1941).

RACIST CALLS FOR GENOCIDE ON JEWS

If the earlier Arabs’ wars on the Jews were marked by “let’s drive them all to the sea”. As then, now, Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah talks about he’s so happy the Jews are gathered together in one place – Israel so it’s easier to massacre them (genocide!). Or today’s Palestinian Arab Muslims yearning to ‘drink the blood of the Jews’ and broadcast in broad day light their ‘message’ to ‘wipe off the Jews’.

In fact, the typical genocidal slogan used: ‘Itbach al Yahood’ = kill the Jews in Arabic, hasn’t changed from the 1920′s massacres on Jews until now when “Palestinians” or other Arabs, Muslims march “peacefully” against Israel…

THE RACISM THAT EXPELLED 850,000 JEWS FROM ARAB MUSLIM COUNTRIES – 1948

How many know the number of Jewish refugees (of 1948) forced to leave Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, North Africa, etc. with their properties robbed by their Arabian governments? Their only “crime, reason” was of course – being Jewish. [You don't notice it today because the loving Jews took in their Jewish brethren and became part of Israel, unlike the Arabs who treated/treat their Arab 'Palestinians' always in terrible terms, that concept called "Palestinian-refugees," is basically nothing other than a case of an all Arab fault, after the 1948 war, which was of course, initiated by Arabs, where the Arabs attacked and tried to eliminate all Jews, in which they lost, most Arabs that left were told to flee by their leaders to facilitate an all Arab attack on the newly re-established Israel in an attempt to destroy it of course, some chose cowardly to flee on their own [all those that fled to Arab "brethren" countries still suffer mistreatment until today], those that stayed, live inside Israel as equal citizens – a fact about Israel even the Arab lobby’s paid ex president, the Arabist Jimmy Carter admits. Yes, an unrefuted fact, despite the high risks involved, Israel always treated Arabs better than Arabs treat their own people].

[ALL] JEWS ARE DENIED ENTRY INTO CERTAIN ARAB MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND ARABS INSIDE ISRAEL HAVE FREEDOM TO RACIALLY ATTACK ISRAEL

Why are Jews denied entry into Arab Muslim countries such as: Syria and Saudi Arabia? If the reason would have been: ‘they only oppose Israel’ (which in itself is also, still just bigotry, but that’s besides the point), why not allow non-Israeli Jews in those Arab Muslim countries? But tomorrow you will hear again about [racist] Arabs inside Israel, especially those in power in the Israeli democratic elected equal-for-all parliament, stabbing the backs of their Jews and denounce them in the most vile forms (most favorably: painting Israelis’ fear of Arab terror as “racism”), on international media, especially on Arabic media.
More troublesome is of course the wide dangerously-racist conduct by Israeli Arabs in aiding Arab terrorists to mass murder Jews, put it this way, no terror massacre attack on Israeli civilians could have ever been carried out without the clear assistance by the Israeli Arabs living freely inside Israel.

AHAMADINEJAD’S “ISSUE” WITH ISRAEL…

Could you point to me where Islamic republic of Iran’s “border disputes” with Israel are at? the usual excuse the Arab ‘Palestinians’ are masquerading their racist anti Jewish genocide agenda with? or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s “reason” for wanting to “wipe off Israel”, [or Islamic Republic's crime in massacring Jews in Argentina in the AMIA building] or why he calls for ‘Death to UK, Death to US’? How more obvious of his goal to create another holocaust does he need to get, if it wasn’t clear enough to us in his attempts to “deny” the first one upon the 6,000,000 Jews [that included ALL types of Jews, religious or not, Zionists or not, those with a certain ideology or those without, that included 1.5 Million kids! That unique historic crime 1939-1945 of attempting to ERASE an entire creed]? So why the reluctance [by some liberal circles] to call an Islamofascist what he really is? [Or What else do you call Bin Laden that "gives" only one option for America, Islamic conversion or else?] Another question related to the Islamic Republic, What’s on the Mullahs in Tehran mind in sending it’s global Mehdi army the terrorists thugs – Hezbollah, to murder for Islamism, in Iraq, Somalia, Lebanon? Is it “aching” for the “poor Palestinians” again?

THE ‘OCCUPATION’ EXCUSE AND THE ARAB MUSLIM ATTACKS BEFORE IT ‘HAPPENED’…

Or the excuse of ‘occupied territories’ that ‘occurred’ in 1967 when Israelis pushed away Arab attackers and captured ‘territories’, So, let’s see what these Arabs, the ones not called ‘Palestinians’ yet, such as in the years of 1920′s, 1930′s, 1940′s, 1950′s, what “drove” them all those years prior to the so called “occupation”, to try to destroy Israel and ‘drive them all to the sea’ (genocide)?

THE SAME ARAB RACISM

Because ‘ARAB RACISM’ that hates all that is non-Arab, whether Africans, such as the largest calamity since WW 2, today’s biggest genocide, the one in Sudan, where the Arab Government of Khartoum, the Arab militias the infamous deaths-squads mass-rapists villages-erasers, the ‘Janjaveeds,’ augmented by that government with “imported” Arabs from neighboring Nigeria and Mauritania, an all “Arab supremacist” force ganged up against the indigenous African black poor population, [spilling over into] Chad, or whether one is a Kurd, as in persecuted in totalitarian oppressive regime of Syria, or in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, no other reason why he tried genocide on them, by the same token also explained why he was so pro “Palestinian”, the [typical] Arab racist had no better words to leave the world with, other than with his racist message that “all of Palestine is Arab,” meaning no Jews allowed! That racism in the Arab world that persecutes the [real] indigenous of/in their lands, the Berbers, or the Copts, the history of trouble upon the Maronites in Lebanon, etc. And Why do you think real slavery today in age is only ‘left’ practiced in the Arab world? How much do you know about slavery in Sudan & in Mauritania? or take for example the “sex” and other types of slavery in the “kingdom” of Saudi Arabia (and in other Arab gulf states) upon non-Arabs. (or the persecution of the Al-Ahdam and other minorities).

THE SAME ISLAMIC BIGOTRY

The other factor ‘ISLAMIC BIGOTRY’, that can’t tolerate anyone that is not Muslim or not the “right kind of Muslim” (as in Shiite massacre Sunnis and vice versa in Iraq, the Islamists’ war in Algeria claiming 100,000 casualties, or attacking ‘moderates’ in Somalia and the terrorism against the Gulf states), that bloodily attacks/attacked non Muslims in the Islamic (oppression) republic of Iran, in Afghanistan, Christians in Iraq, Pakistan, (Christians in Sudan – prior to current ‘conflict’ there), Nigeria, E. Timor, the Islamists being caught in Europe that simply want to murder Europeans [take the ones caught in Austria for example, not even an 'Iraq war' excuse can "work" there...], kills Buddhists in Thailand, Hindus in India, persecutes Arab Christians in Lebanon and among “Palestinians”, kills Jews (in Israel or in Diaspora) only for being Jewish.
Let’s put it this way, What goes through your mind when you read the ‘often’ brutal attacks by Arabs, Muslims in France or in England (for example) on Jews? is it “freedom fighting” or is it another Pallywood slogan like “fighting oppression”? Or, What did you think of the not-so-isolated cases of ‘Palestinian’ Muslims forcing Christians into Islam, like pointing a gun to Christian journalists ‘Convert to Islam or die!’ or forcing Christian Arabs in Gaza to become Muslim? Or, Is there a difference between the Paris metro bombing [1995], Bali bombing (of Australian youths in 2002), 911 WTC bombing [2001], Madrid bombing [2003], Bombing in Istanbul Turkey [2003], Bombing in Casablanca Morocco [2003], Beslan massacre of kids [2004], London bombing, [2005], multiple bombings in Mumbai, attempts to bomb the UN in Switzerland, bombings, massacres in Tel Aviv, Netanya, Jerusalem, etc.?

GLOBAL ISLAMO ARAB POWER

Ever wondered how come the [issue of victims of Arabs in] Darfur genocide is always subdued when bashing Israel’s defense against ‘Palestinian’ Arab attacks are always brought up? try the ISLAMO ARAB GLOBAL [LOBBY] POWER, the bigoted power [via oil, terrorism and threatening economic power] that (oppresses Israel and) drives the UN agenda, and even has the US foreign policy in check, Could you otherwise explain how come the neo-conservative George W. Bush’s foreign policy so Arabist pro-’Palestinian,’ his relentless efforts to establish a NEW THING, never before in history, a ‘Palestine’ state, for the grandchildren of Arab immigrants [immerged mainly in the 1880's] into the historic land of the Jews? The Arabs’ power in pushing the ‘Iraq war’:After Iraq’s Saddam Hussein invasion of Kuwait and threatening Saudi Arabia that brought Bush Sr. attacking Iraq in 1991, Can anyone in his right mind really deny the Arab mighty Gulf states’ hands so deep in George W. Bush’s invading Iraq in 2003? That’s right, and you thought they only control your economy, your pocket and hold you by the ‘throat’ at the pump.

A BIGOTRY THAT IS WILLING TO KILL IT’S OWN PEOPLE TO DEFAME ISRAEL

Those cruel tactics of using it’s own women and children as ‘human shields’ among “Palestinians” and among [Syrian-Iranian Arab Muslim militia terrorists] Hezbollah are no secrets, it demonstrates again and again, the Arab racism & Islamic bigotry how far it will go to make sure Israel’s image is damaged in world opinion, via (getting for whatever “price”) most bloody images of injured/dead Arab kids, pointing — of course — to the “bad Israel”.

THE BLIND HATRED MASQUERATING AS ‘ANTI-ZIONISM’

1) When Arabs, Muslims call to kill the “Yahood”, this is exactly what it means, no more no less, but: to ‘kill the Jew’. 2) Everyone knows about the ultra orthodox Jews piety and their objection to Zionism, who (most of them) don’t even serve in Israel’s army, yet they, their distinct exclusive neighborhoods, have been targets in Arab Muslim terror attacks to massacre their kids. Even a religious anti-Zionist school [situated as far as] in Montreal Canada has been attacked [2004] by Islamic arsonists. 3) Attacking Jews outside Israel, whether a journalist in Afghanistan or a Jew in Paris, or a crowd of Jews in Argentina can never be connected to a so called: “anti-Zionism” ideology.

THE ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE ARAB MUSLIM WORLD

When you see the overwhelming documented Anti-Semitism, hatred against ALL Jews that is, in mainstream Arab Muslim media, most evil type of cartoons (these hypocrites are the same that will call to or justify to kill for any “offensive” cartoon on their Muhammad of course) in their mainstream education instilling blind hatred upon Jews (or on Christians) you feel so overwhelmed that you can never “explain” it by just a “conflict”, because it’s rather the cause of this whole conflict and not the result of it.

THE MUSLIM LIE REGARDING [JEWS'] JERUSALEM

Since when was this never refuted historic city of the Jews a “Muslim issue?” (refreshing memories/history/facts – Israel’s capital – Jerusalem was the Jews’ long before Islam was invented/came about in 620, Yes, Jews’ holy books are filled with Jerusalem as a hope and yearning for it’s rebuilding, but no! the Muslims’ book, the Koran never mentions Jerusalem! nor was Muhammad ever in Israel, Jerusalem) It was only the late ‘Palestinian’ leader, the Egyptian born “turned Palestinian” (another epitome of “indigenous Palestinian” myth) Yasser Arafat, (the notorious liar thief who stole the money from his own population and) rose the Islamic world to the ‘Palestinian’ case as an ‘Islamic’ cause, jumped on the wagon of Jerusalem to sell it well to the Islamic bigotry, an empowered weapon yet, how to de-legitimize Jews from their holy places.

MAKE A LIST OF THE SO CALLED “ISSUES” THAT ALWAYS TRIED TO COVER THEIR TRUE FACE OF BIGOTRY

So, first it was the massacres of the 1920′s, without any excuse, then came an excuse of Israel as a state (what’s really wrong with that other than not being an Arab Muslim, AKA an ‘outsider?’), then, after attacking Israel again & again they lost the 1967 war, due to their loss, they brought upon themselves an (what is called ) “occupation” or “occupied territories”, now, they want Jerusalem as well (Why not? Since Israel is always willing to give…), truth is however, that when “Palestinians” [extremists or moderates] talk among themselves referring to “occupation”, they mean ‘ALL OF ISRAEL’ for themselves, that’s really their ultimate goal, in other words “no place for Jews there!”

ISLAMIC APARTHEID VS PLURALISTIC ISRAEL

Oh! wait, also among their “issues”, in their bombastic Pallywoody language, they dare define the security checkpoints, (you know those that you have in the airport and in other crowded places to check you out for metals and bombing devices?) as “apartheid” or “oppression”, imagine that! when the real Apartheid is practiced of course all over the Muslim world against non Muslims or even against women, trust me! you don’t want to be a Christian in Saudi Arabia or in Gaza, or better yet, see the open vibrant lives of Muslims inside pluralistic Israel and (apart from some pockets in Tunisia/Morocco) see no more Jewish life in the Arab-Islamic Apartheid world!.

NEVER ‘WHAT ISRAEL DOES’ BUT THE VERY EXISTANCE OF ISRAEL IS NEVER ACCEPTED

Could you count the countless gestures Israel always did/does with the Arab-’Palestinians’? I can’t. But take a look at one particular case, at the aftermath of an historic uprooting of Jewish families from Gush Katif in the Gaza peninsula [2005], Do you imagine an uproar at any nation if such a drastic step would be taking? And what did Israel really “get” from all of this [immense sacrifice for peace sake] from the bigoted Arab world? Did any Arab state come forward and denounced the racist years long boycott of the ‘Jewish’ state? or had the guts to establish relation with Israel, Heck! not even having the minimum of decency shedding it’s arrogant racism and “giving” Israel the minimum which every nation has, the right-to-exist! Never mind the very recipients of Israel’s give-away, the Arab ‘Palestinians’ themselves, what did they then or ever ‘give’ for peace sake? On the contrary, as a result the Islamic [more] extremist terrorist Hamas only grew, swept and won Gaza by popular vote from mainstream ‘Palestinian’ Muslims.

NO RACISM, NO CONFLICT!

As long as the arrogant Arab Muslim world continues to “believe” that the middle east “belongs” only to them, will not change their evil fascism to ‘accept’ the non Arab non Muslim ‘entity’ in the middle east [we are not talking nearly as much as Israeli Arabs are accepted in Israel's democracy and are often first class citizens over Jews especially in land cases plus they are not obligated to serve in Israel's army, like other Israeli citizens do, yet have all the rights], no “concession” by the good guy Israel (the only side that always feels “guilty” and sacrifices for peace, When was the last time Arabs gave anything to the Jews? or, Is a Jew allowed to live on ETHNIC CLEANSED “Palestinian” territories ‘Judenrein-Palestine!’ while Arabs make up 20-25% of multi-racial tolerant democratic Israel’s population? now, do you still need a better example of Good vs Evil?) will really ‘change’ anything in reality.

SAY IT OUT LOUD! ISRAEL – THE CLASSIC VICTIM OF BOTH ‘ARAB RACISM’ & ‘ISLAMIC BIGOTRY’

Clearly, Israel, Jews are not the only victims of ‘Arab racism’ & ‘Islamic Bigotry’, but — most probably — there’s no better classic victim of these evil forces, in dealing with a problem you better define it, yes, the “conflict” is nothing but intolerance!
How many such clear sane announcements have you been exposed to? Why the PC of so much confusion and dancing around the subject? For any real peace visions, you must include this problem – THE issue, to be recognized at and plans to CHANGE it, rather to root it out!!

ELIMINATE ISLAMIC BIGOTRY = A VISION FOR WORLD PEACE

I HAVE A DREAM… With that dream of Arab-Muslims changing their bigotry to tolerance, hatred & rejection to understanding & acceptance, not just the middle east conflict would then vanish, take a good look around and tell me, just about how many onflicts all around the world are not related to Islamic bigotry? Because the key to world peace [today] or world war is in Muslims’ (mainstream and leadership) hands only! But until you won’t see disappearing the dark cult of hatred being instilled into young minds such as, that ‘the infidel’ is bad, the “apes & pigs” doctrine to be referred to Jews and Christians, glorifying Jihadi mass murderers as “heroes,” and their mainstream media in a full function of demonizing & inciting rather than real reporting, all this peace vision will remain just that, a dream.

where “Palestinian” Muslims massacred Christians senselessly, which brought the reprisal by Arab Christians upon Arab “Palestinian” Muslims in Sabra &
shatila.

The Islamization of Bethlehem that has started by Yasser Arafat has forced Christians out.

The “Palestinian” Christians are forced to join the senseless criminal violence against Israeli victims, otherwise they are threatened.

Some Arab “Palestinians” that might be Christian won’t admit the awful truth openly, that scared they are!
But some find courage to break the ranks like: http://shoebat.com/, a “Palestinian” Arab (former terrorist) who converted from Islam, terrorism, hatred & bloodshed to Christianity.Which is why he advocates now for Israel the real victim, exposes the lies and incitement he was exposed to while being Muslim.

Palestinian Christians: Victims, Not Partners
Human Events, Feb
16, 2004 by Spencer, Robert
E-mail Print Link This week the Chicago
Tribune prefaced a series of articles on Islam, including one about how radical
Muslims gained control of a large Chicago-area mosque, by reassuring readers
that “Islam, the world’s fastest-growing religion, preaches tolerance,
non-violence and respect for human life.”
But this week I interviewed Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist who has become a Christian and has recently been speaking out against jihad ideology. He confirmed something I discussed in Onward Muslim Soldiers: that this talk of tolerance and non-violence is often cultivated by radical Muslims as part of a larger tactical strategy.
Local Muslims say outreach needed Polls find negative view of Islam In the Palestinian Authority, this strategy involved the co-opting of the embattled Palestinian Christian minority into the larger jihadist agenda. With Christians, Shoebat explains “we saw a need for unity.” Palestinian Christians were happy to oblige. Most Palestinian Christians, says Shoebat, were “educated on Replacement
Theology, in which God was done with Israel and Jews. They were in turn supportive of the Palestinian cause to liberate all Palestine.”

‘Peace partner’ accused in YMCA attack Muslim gunmen crushed gates, set Christian building ablaze

JAFFA, Israel – Members of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization were arrested yesterday for allegedly leading a 2006 anti-Christian attack in which gunmen set fire to the Young Men’s Christian Association in the West Bank city of Qalqiliya, WND has learned.

Following the arrest of four militants in conjunction with the attack, Rabih Elkhangy, the Fatah mayor of Qalqiliya, held a press conference yesterday in which he claimed the arrested attackers were from the rival Hamas terror organization.

But WND has learned that of the four arrested, two are Fatah members, one is a Fatah sympathizer and the fourth is a member of Jihadiya Silafiya, a Palestinian Islamist organization ideologically allied with al-Qaida values.

Sources in the security organizations of Qalqiliya admitted Hamas members were not arrested for the attack. They pointed out most Hamas leaders from Qalqiliya were jailed by the PA in recent months for other purposes.

Expert: ‘Christian groups in PA to disappear’
The ever-dwindling
Christian communities living in Palestinian-run territories in the West Bank and
Gaza are likely to dissipate completely within the next 15 years as a result of
increasing Muslim persecution and maltreatment, an Israeli scholar said Monday.

Flames are seen at the entrance of an Anglican church hit by a firebomb in
Nablus.
Slideshow: Pictures of the week “The systematic persecution of
Christian Arabs living in Palestinian areas is being met with nearly total
silence by the international community, human rights activists, the media and
NGOs,” said Justus Reid Weiner, an international human rights lawyer in an
address at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, where he serves as a scholar
in residence.
He cited Muslim harassment and persecution as the main cause
of the “acute human rights crisis” facing Christian Arabs, and predicted that
unless governments or institutions step in to remedy the situation – such as
with job opportunities – there will be no more Christian communities living in
the Palestinians territories within 15 years, with only a few Western Christians
and top clergymen left in the area.
“Christian leaders are being forced to
abandon their followers to the forces of radical Islam,” Weiner said…

O, Muslim town of Bethlehem (muslim persecution of
Bethlehem’s Christians)

The situation has become so desperate that the
Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and Cardinal Cormac Murphy
O’Connor, the head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, are to
lead a joint delegation to Bethlehem this week to express their solidarity with
the beleaguered Christian populace. The town, according to the Cardinal, is
being “steadily strangled”. The sense of a creeping Islamic fundamentalism is
all around in Bethlehem. A mosque on one side of Manger Square stands directly
opposite the Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, while in the evening
the muezzin’s call to prayer clashes with the peal of church bells. Shops
selling Santa Claus outfits and mother-of-pearl statuettes of the Virgin Mary
have their shutters painted a sun-bleached green, the colour of Islam. And in
the Al-Jacir Palace, Bethlehem’s only luxury hotel, there is a baubled Christmas
tree in reception and a card showing the direction of Mecca in the rooms.

George
Rabie, a 22-year-old taxi driver from the Bethlehem suburb of Beit Jala, is
proud of his Christianity, even though it puts him in daily danger. Two months
ago, he was beaten up by a gang of Muslims who were visiting Bethlehem from
nearby Hebron and who had spotted the crucifix hanging on his windscreen. “Every
day, I experience discrimination,” he says. ” “It is a type of racism. We are a
minority so we are an easier target. Many extremists from the villages are
coming into Bethlehem.” Jeriez Moussa Amaro, a 27-year-old aluminium craftsman
from Beit Jala is another with first-hand experience of the appalling violence
that Christians face. Five years ago, his two sisters, Rada, 24, and Dunya, 18,
were shot dead by Muslim gunmen in their own home. Their crime was to be young,
attractive Christian women who wore Western clothes and no veil. Rada had been
sleeping with a Muslim man in the months before her death.

A terrorist
organisation, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, issued a statement claiming
responsibility, which said: “We wanted to clean the Palestinian house of
prostitutes.” Jeriez says: “A Christian man is weak compared to a Muslim man.
“They have bigger, more powerful families and they know people high up in the
Palestinian authority.” The fear of attack has prompted many Christian families
to emigrate, including Mr Canawati’s sister, her husband and their three
children who now live in New Jersey in America. “I want to leave but nobody will
buy my business,” Mr Canawati says. “I feel trapped. We are isolated.” This
isolation was heightened when, last year, Bethlehem found itself behind Israel’s
security wall, a 400-mile-long concrete barrier which separates Jewish and
Palestinian areas and is designed to stop suicide bombers – in 2004, half the
Israeli fatalities caused by such attacks were committed by extremists from
Bethlehem. Last year, tourists trying to get to the town were forced to queue
for hours as their papers were checked, while Bethlehem inhabitants going the
other way must now apply for an infrequently granted permit to visit Jerusalem,
barely ten minutes away by car. “It is like living in a prison,” says Shadt
Abu-Ayash, a 29-year-old Roman Catholic shopkeeper. The Roman Catholic Mayor of
Bethlehem, Dr Victor Batarseh, says: “The political situation in Lebanon and the
instability of politics in Palestine has affected tourism and pilgrimage.
“Hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops are owned by mostly Christians so it
affects them badly. “We have 65 per cent unemployment and about 2,000 bedrooms
in hotels that are empty.” Bethlehem’s hotel owners estimate that tourist
numbers have dropped sharply, from 91,276 each month for the millennium
celebrations in 2000 to little more than 1,500 a month now.

During the past six
years, 50 restaurants, 28 hotels and 240 souvenir shops have closed. Samir
Qumsieh is general manager of Al-Mahed – Nativity – which is the only Christian
television station in Bethlehem. He has had death threats and visits from armed
men demanding three acres of his land – and he is now ready to leave. “As
Christians, we have no future here,” he says. “We are melting away. Next summer
I will leave this country to go to the States. How can I continue? “I would
rather have a beautiful dream in my head about what my home is like, not the
nightmare of the reality.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)–A Christian university professor in Gaza was kidnapped, forced to marry a Muslim professor at the same university and now her family is being told she wants no contact with them unless they convert to Islam.
Sana al-Sayegh, head of the Science and Technology Department at Gaza City’s Palestine International University, disappeared June 24, according to Palestinian Authority officials and the woman’s family. Five days later, she contacted her family to say she was being held against her will so she could be married to a Muslim man.

Driving the Christians out
Source: The Jerusalem Post
Jan 25,
2007
A few decades ago Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, was a
thriving town, a tourist magnet and a majority Christian town.
Today barely
15 percent of the population is Christian, and according to one of them, “every
day we hear of another Christian family that has immigrated to the US, Canada or
Latin America.”
“I believe,” said another, “that 15 years from now there will
be no Christians left in Bethlehem. Then you will need a torch to find a
Christian here.”
The disappearance of Bethlehem’s Christian Arabs is not a
natural phenomenon; it is the consequence of a concerted effort to bring that
potent sympbol of Christendom into submission to Islam.
Resorting to
violence, terrorism, brazen land-theft and massive abuse of power, Muslim Arab
civilians and Muslim members of the Palestinian Authority are effectively and
purposefully driving the Christians away.
No-one cares about the plight of
Bethlehem’s Christians. And knowing the consequences of themselves publicising
the abuse they face, most keep quiet, make their plans, and slip quietly
away.
Soon only Muslims will benefit from whatever interest the Christian
world retains in Bethlehem.

Gaza Muslims continue ethnic-cleansing effort
By Stan
Goodenough
February 17, 2008
Muslims attacked the library of the YMCA
(Young Men’s Christian Association) in Gaza Friday in the latest move to drive
Christians and Christianity out of the Islamist-controlled Strip.
According
to a report in The Jerusalem Post Sunday, gunmen – some masked, others not -
“stormed” the library, kidnapped two security guards, looted electronic
equipment and stole a vehicle, then detonated a number of bombs inside the
building, totally destroying the book collection.
Intent on making the area
Islamically “pure,” Muslim Arabs have looked for “reasons” to “justify” their
targeting of the tiny Christian community – around 3000 strong – that lives in
the midst of Gaza’s 1.4 million Muslims.
The persecution has increased since
Hamas violently took control of Gaza a year ago.
On October 6 last year,
Muslims abducted Rami Ayyad, the manager of Gaza’s only Christian bookstore that
had been bombed by masked Muslims six months earlier.
Ayyad, 31, was the
father of two small children; his wife was pregnant with their third. His shot
and repeatedly stabbed body was found a day after he disappeared.
For Gaza’s
Muslims, ridding themselves of any active Christian presence would be cherry on
top after successfully forcing Israel to remove every single Jew from Gaza in
2005.
“Palestinian” crowds have often been heard to chant: “First we’ll fight
on Saturday and then on Sunday” – meaning, after they rid themselves of Jews
they will rid themselves of Christians.

Avivim School bus Massacre by ‘Palestinian’ Arab terrorists the DFLP – in Avivim, Israel

Palestinian terrorists from the ‘Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine’ (DFLP) attacked the town’s school bus, killing twelve people, mostly children.

Nahariya/Avivim School Bus Attack, 1970

On May 8, 1970 there was a brutal attack on an Israeli school bus by Palestinian terrorists who crossed the Lebanese border. Avivim, an agricultural community established in 1963, is just metres from the border with Lebanon. Settled and built from the ground up by Moroccan immigrants, the majority of the residents belonged to one of two families; Peretz or Biton. The local council bus picked up children each morning to take them to two schools.The terrorists knew the schedule of the bus and were able to ambush it. They fired on the bus, killing the adults instantly. The bus driver continued until he himself was shot. Then the bus crashed, injuring many of the remaining children. The attack caused the death of 9 children (aged between six and nine) and 3 adults, and left 19 others crippled for life.The terrorists were never apprehended.

In fact, it was Palestinian guerrillas who penetrated the Israeli perimeter from Lebanon on the morning of May 22, 1970, and used a bazooka to ambush a school bus. Biton was 7 years old. He and his father were on the bus, which was taking children from Avivim to a school in nearby Rehinia. The dead included eight children and four adults. Biton’s father was one of them. Biton’s injuries kept him in a hospital for six months.

Jordan handles the ‘Palestinian’ violent ‘Black September’ the Jordanian king also asks Israel for help against the ‘Palestinian’ terrorists

In September three jetliners– one American, one British and one Swiss– were hijacked by Palestinian Arabs to Jordan. The passengers were held hostage. This action further undermined the sovereignty of King Hussein’s government. The King decided to take action and fighting broke out between the Jordanian Army and the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Syrians attempted to intervene on the side of the P.L.O. but Israel warned that they, too, would then intervene. The Jordanian army defeated the P.L.O. whose forces fled to Lebanon.

This clash within Islamic countries between Islamist religious forces and modernizers like Kemal Atatuerk in Turkey, Habib Burgiba in Tunisia, Gemal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarek in Egypt, the deposed Reza Shah Pahlavi in Iran, and even Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and Islamist religious forces is long, deep and powerful. The modernizers in these countries have usually come from military rather than civilian backgrounds, and by transforming one of the few intact institutions of the old regime – namely the military bureaucracy – into an instrument of political power and hegemony, they have consolidated their authority, often with limited popular support and democratic institutions. All over the Islamic Arab world this military modernization paradigm, in which Syria and Iraq had participated through the Ba’ath regimes in the nineteen-seventies, has lost ground. The defeat of the Egyptian armies in the hands of Israel during the Six Day War, the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights and the west Bank, are reminders to the military elite of these countries, less of the plight of the Palestinians, whom they have massacred and oppressed when it suited their interests (remember Black September in Jordan in 1970, in which Palestinians were killed by the thousands; or the persecution of the Palestinians by the Saudis because of their support for Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War), but of the failure of their own truncated projects of modernization. Israel is a thorn on the side of these regimes, whose very presence is a bleeding reminder of their own failure to modernize in military, technological and economic terms.
http://www.ssrc.org/sept11/essays/benhabib.htm

The guerrillas’ power grew steadily in Jordan, to which 380,000 Palestinians had fled after Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967, joining others who had arrived in 1948 when Israel was founded. By 1970, thousands of guerrillas were there, many of them adherents of Al Fatah.

Spurred on by Palestinian radicals, Mr. Arafat committed what was to be the first of several blunders: He countenanced an attempt to wrest power from King Hussein, whose grandfather, a religious and tribal leader from Saudi Arabia, had been placed in charge of the country when Britain recognized its independence in 1923.

Palestinian guerrillas began interfering with highway traffic, controlling Palestinian refugee camps, clashing with the Jordanian Army and systematically defying the government. In September 1970 — later known to Palestinians as Black September — King Hussein sent troops and armor into Amman, his capital, to suppress the P.L.O. After days of shelling refugee camps where some 60,000 Palestinians lived, the army drove the would-be usurpers out of Jordan.

Conservative estimates put Palestinian losses at 2,000. Mr. Arafat, who made his way unharmed to Cairo, later claimed that Jordan’s Army had killed 25,000.

Terror in Black September: The First Eyewitness Account of the Infamous 1970 Hijackings
Thirty-seven years ago on September 6, Palestinian revolutionaries hijacked four airliners bound for New York. Two of the planes were flown to the desert outside of Amman, Jordan, and held there just as the Jordanian civil war erupted. Raab, a health-care executive, was a 17-year-old hostage on one of those planes, and he recounts the ordeal, which resulted in his being separated from his family and dragged back and forth across Jordan for weeks in fear for his life. Raab also attempts to narrate the larger story, from the tense, fractious multinational negotiations over the hostages to the conflict between the Jordanian army and the Palestinian guerrillas. It is an ambitious undertaking, one that Raab lacks the craft to achieve.
While the book is painstakingly researched, the writing rarely comes alive, even in the most dramatic situations. The various sources—including Raab’s account that he wrote soon after his release—seem to be stuck together rather than shaped. Still, much of the material is intrinsically fascinating and a sad reminder of how much and how little has changed. Four hijacking attempts in one day was a record that would stand alone for 31 years, until another September day in 2001. (Sept.)

Pakistan’s (Islamic supremacy’s) war on Bangladesh – three Million [Benagali] dead!

1971 – Sheikh Mujib arrested and taken to West Pakistan. In exile, Awami League leaders proclaim the independence of the province of East Pakistan on 26th March. The new country is called Bangladesh. Just under 10 million Bangladeshis flee to India as troops from West Pakistan are defeated with Indian assistance. [...]

2000 December – Bangladesh expels Pakistani diplomat for comments on the 1971 war. The diplomat had put the number of dead at 26,000, whereas Bangladesh says nearly three million were killed. Bangladesh wants Pakistan to apologise for alleged genocide it says Pakistani forces were guilty of during the war.

The demons of 1971

January 04, 2007

Thirty-five years ago, on December 16, 1971, the Pakistan army unconditionally surrendered to the Indian Army at the Dhaka Racecourse in Bangladesh.
With the stroke of a pen, Bangladesh was born. That birth, however, came at an enormous cost. Before the Pakistan army and its local collaborators were finally subdued by the Indian Army, they had slaughtered up to 3 million Bengalis in nine months of madness.

This is the story of that slaughter. This is the story of genocide in Bangladesh.

In 1971, Bangladesh, then called East Pakistan, was part of a geographical monstrosity created by the British in 1947. Pakistan, as created by the British, consisted of West Pakistan and East Pakistan, separated by the vast expanse of the Indian land mass in the middle. East and West Pakistan spoke different languages and were culturally distinct. East Pakistan accounted for the majority of Pakistan’s population, yet it was economically exploited and politically marginalised by West Pakistan.

Bengalis, the people of East Pakistan, were also persecuted for speaking their native language and for being either Muslims who had converted from Hinduism or for being Hindus. Pakistan, translated as ‘The Land of the Pure’, was intolerant of Bengalis because they were not ‘pure’ Muslims.

Lod Airport Massacre

…The operation was planned and supported by the General Command of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP-GC).

As the three men passed the ticket counter area, they suddenly pulled automatic weapons from their cases and began to spray the crowd indiscriminately. As they changed magazines in their weapons, the men threw hand grenades into the mass of sprawling bodies.

Twenty-six people were killed in the massacre and 78 were injured. Sixteen of the dead were not even Israelis or Jews, they were Puerto Ricans in Israel on a pilgrimage.

Black September and the Murder of 11 Israelis at the 1972 Munich Olympics
Friday August 8, 2008

A signature photograph of a Black September Palestinian terrorist during the hostage crisis and murder of 11 Israeli athletes and other members of the Israeli team at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. (Getty images) At 4:30 a.m. local time on Sept. 6, 1972, in Munich, Germany, Palestinian commandos armed with automatic rifles broke into the quarters of the Israeli team at the Olympic Village, killed two members of the team and took nine others hostage. Twenty-three hours later, the nine hostages had also been murdered. So was a German policeman. So were five of the Palestinian terrorists.

The 1972 massacre is by far the worst case of violence in Olympic history since the modern games began in 1896, and one of the most notorious cases of terrorism on record.

It was not the only obscenity of the Games.

As two Israelis lay dead and nine Israeli hostages were fighting for their lives in the Olympic Village, competition went on in 11 of the 22 sports on the program, including canoeing and wrestling. “Anyway,” went a dark joke coursing through the Village, “these are professional killers. Avery doesn’t recognize them.” It would not be until 4 p.m. that Brundage reversed his decision. A memorial service for the Israelis was held at 10 a.m. on Sept. 6 in the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium.

Why Terror Thrives [August, 2008]

…It was the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, however, that trailblazed attacks on airliners with its September 7, 1970 hijacking of three planes “to call special attention to the Palestinian problem.” Sure enough, the Palestinian cause has since became synonymous with anti-civilian warfare, from the Munich Olympics’ massacre in September 1972 to the Arab fratricide inside Gaza this weekend. And the slaughter of innocents is now part of the Islamists’ struggle against “infidels.” What the Palestinians began in the early 1970s is now paying “dividends.”

Kiryat Shmona (or Quirat Shemona), 1974
On April 11, 1974, a team of three members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command penetrated the Israeli border town of Kiryat Shmona from Lebanon. Although they had apparently been instructed to take hostages, they instead entered an apartment building and killed all eighteen residents they found there, including nine children. The terrorists then barricaded themselves in one of the apartments and were eventually killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli forces.

‘Damour Massacre’, The massacre of Christians in Lebanon by Syrian & Muslim ‘Palestinians’ [that brought the reprisal by Arab Christians against 'Palestinians' at the camps of 'Sabra Shatila' in 1982]

While not underestimating the events of Sabra & Shatila, it could be seen as bloody revenge for the Damour massacre. It could be perceived as revenge for the assassination of President Bashir Jemayel and twenty-six of his aides. The assassination was ordered by President Hafez al Assad and carried out by Syrian air force intelligence commander, Muhhammad Al-Khuli.

A strong testimony to the Christian attitude comes from Khalaf Samir’s words. “The Damour Brigades of the Lebanese Forces vowed to avenge their fallen townsmen and relatives. They swore not to stop the fighting until all Palestinians were driven out of Lebanon”.

Another testimony to the linkage between the Damour massacre and Sabra & Shatila, comes from New York Times editor Tom Friedman, in his famous book From Beirut to Jerusalem. “The Phalangists wanted to avenge not only Bashir’s death, but also past tribal killings of their own people by Palestinian guerillas, such as the February 1976 massacre by Palestinians of Christian villagers in Damour South of Beirut”.

http://www.ict.org.il/Articles/tabid/66/Articlsid/291/currentpage/1/Default.aspx

Attacks, atrocities…
During that period, the PLO was based in the Lebanese capital, having been expelled from Jordan after an abortive attempt to topple King Hussein. In Beirut Arafat’s group established a “state within a state” taking over entire residential areas, setting up roadblocks, and extorting protection taxes. The PLO became a party to Lebanon’s civil war, backing Muslims against Maronite Christians.

PLO atrocities against Christians reached a climax in early 1976, when PLO fighters killed 582 inhabitants of the Christian town of Damour, south of Beirut, before turning it into a stronghold. According to published accounts, the terrorists pillaged and ransacked the town and its churches, desecrated a Maronite cemetery by digging up and robbing corpses, and used the interior of the St. Elias Church for a shooting range and a garage for PLO vehicles.

From its Lebanon stronghold, the PLO mounted cross-border terrorist attacks against Israel, culminating in a deadly assault that cost the lives of 35 Israeli civilians. Israel retaliated by sending in the army in 1978, pushing the PLO out of southern Lebanon. PLO shelling of northern Israel continued until Israel’s invasion in 1982 led to the PLO’s final expulsion from Lebanon, and it relocated to Tunisia.

[Rashid] Khalidi began teaching in Beirut in 1976, the year of the Damour massacre.

Excerpt from New York Times report published on June 11, 1979. Over the following years, he was quoted a number of times in media reports, giving a Palestinian perspective on events.

Libya and Lebanon can trace their twisting history to the beginning of Lebanon’s 1975-90 Civil War, when Gadhafi forcefully backed the leftist-Palestinian coalition of the Lebanese National Movement in an attempt to “replace” Egypt’s Gamel Abdel Nasser as the paragon of pan-Arabism.
Libya sent mercenaries to Lebanon and Gadhafi espoused mouthfuls of inflammatory rhetoric against Lebanon’s Christians, as the Phalange Party stood as a main opponent to the leftist-Palestinian alliance… “Gadhafi and Libya were pretty vocal and pretty active on the side of the Palestinian-leftist coalition that was fighting against the Christians.”

In April 1975 with Christian Maronite community fighting a leftist/PLO coalition, Syria attacked. Operating as an "Arab Deterrent Force," Syria defeated leftist forces. (Palestinian, Druze, and Sunni) Then Syria attacked the core Christian community that gave Lebanon "its special national distinction." During "the 100 Days War" in mid-1978, Syria blasted Christian East Beirut, driving out 300,000 people, etc. The idea was to destroy the Christians and make Lebanon "more Arab" along the Syrian model. The Syrians were responsible for the deaths of approximately 100,000 Lebanese and the flight of about a half a million people from the country.

The The Coastal Road Massacre, Israel.
The Palestinian terrorist attack on an Israeli coastal-road bus was masterminded by Abu Jihad and undertaken by PLO faction Fatah, The Palestinians hijacking the bus, later on started shooting the passengers that attempted to escape. Eventually, the Fatah members blew up the bus which became a large deathtrap of fire. The attack left thirty five civilians killed.

Bus Hijacking on Coastal Road, 1978
On March 11, 1978 eleven terrorists, again coming from Lebanon with Zoadic rubber commando dinghies, landed at the beach of Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael. They killed an American photographer and a taxi driver and hijacked a bus, whose passengers, including many children, were on a day-trip to the north. The hijackers forced the driver to return to Tel Aviv. Driving on the coastal highway, the terrorists fired on passing cars from the bus.

When the bus approached a blockade set up by the police at an entrance to Tel Aviv, a shootout took place. The terrorists left the bus and fired missiles. The bus burst into flames and most of the passengers were either burned alive or killed by terrorist gunfire.

* PA Glorifies Murderer of U.S. Senator’s Niece:
On March 11, 1978, Palestinian Arab terrorists led by Dalal Mughrabi massacred 37 people in an attack along the Tel Aviv coastal highway. One of the victims was Gail Rubin of New York, a renowned nature photographer who was the niece of U.S. Senator Abraham Ribicoff (D-CT). (The terrorists came across Ms. Rubin photographing nature scenes along the beach; they shot her dead, then hijacked a passing bus and killed most of the passengers.)

On March 11, 2003, the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah published an article commemorating the 25th anniversary of the massacre. It stated: “On the morning of March 11, 1978, a woman Palestinian fighter, Dalal Mughrabi, created a legend that would be taught for many years, when she and her Fedayeen unit infiltrated the Palestinian coastal plain near Tel Aviv… Twenty-five years after this heroine’s death as a Shahida [Dying for Allah], many Palestinian women are following in her footsteps every day. Examples include Wafa Idris, [First woman suicide bomber] and Ayyat al-Akhras, [second woman suicide bomber] who performed acts of Shahada- Seeking during the blessed al-Aksa Intifada to protect the homeland. The Shahida Dalal Mughrabi shall remain one of the symbols of the Palestinian national struggle.” (Translation courtesy of Palestinian Media Watch.)

Spencer quotes the Qur’an often on this matter. For example: “Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home; an evil fate.” (Sura 9.73)

Thus 1,400 years later, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini can say with perfect justification that “Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled or incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the unit of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world.”

U.S. Muslim event hails Khomeini
Mainstream figures speak at ‘tribute to the great Islamic visionary’
Posted: December 15, 2004…
Asi wrote in a 1994 public letter to Khomeini’s successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: “I … swear allegiance to you as leader of the Muslims.”
Other speakers included the director of the local branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) , which casts itself as the nation’s leading Muslim civil-rights group, and an NBA player.
A Dallas-area Muslim leader who has been honored for his civil-rights work told WorldNetDaily he spoke at the day-long seminar in Irving, Texas, and heard a couple of other speakers.
But Mohamed Elibiary claimed he was not aware of the event’s general theme and “tribute” to Khomeini.
In a phone conversation yesterday, WND directed him to an ad for the seminar posted on the Metroplex Organization of Muslims in North Texas website, which includes a photo of Khomeini alongside a message speaking of “Islamic revolution.”
[Editor's Note: Since the publishing of this story, the Muslim group has removed the page. The link goes to a Google, cached version.]

The leader of Iran’s Islamic revolution in 1979, Khomeini famously viewed the U.S. as the “Great Satan” and said “Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males … to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world.”

Hezbollah is a Shi’a Islamic terrorist organization based in Lebanon. It follows an Islamist Shi’a ideology developed by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

Hezbollah first emerged during the Lebanese Civil War as a militia of Shia followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini, trained, organized and funded by a contingent of Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Hezbollah’s three main goals are to: Eradicate what it views as Western colonialism in Lebanon, punish the Phalangists, and establish an Islamic government in Lebanon.

Background: The Iran-Hezbollah Relationship
When Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 with the aim of eliminating the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s (PLO) use of the area as a base of operations for attacking Israel, the various radical Shiite groups operating there united against Israel’s army with the training, arming and funding of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The united group of Shiites became Hezbollah.
Hezbollah’s charter calls for the formation of a Shiite theocracy in Lebanon based on the values of the Iranian Revolution.
Iran’s support of Hezbollah stems from a shared religious ideology, a common desire to destroy Israel, end all Western influence in the region, an aspiration to strengthen its hold in the Middle East and battle the West.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini is regarded by Hezbollah as its ultimate leader, and the group maintains close ties with Iran’s leadership, especially the hard-line clerics who helped organize the party in the early 1980s.
The creation of Hezbollah allowed Iran to wage war with Israel by using it as a proxy militant organization based in Lebanon with cells in the United States and the rest of the Western world.

Nasrallah later provided an answer to those progressive tempted to argue the problem to be Israel’s existence. To the Hezbollah leader, Israel is just one part of the fight. On October 22, 2002, Hassan Nasrallah told Lebanon’s Daily Star, “If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them world wide.”

SUDAN, Beginning of the ‘Sharia law’ implimentation, speeding up Slavery & [racist] genocide.

2) ‘Conflict’ in Sudan by Arab racism against non Arab black-Africans and the divisions along Islamic sects.

Sudan Officials & genocide… In the 1990′s, the Khartoum government declared a “Holy Jihad” against the Christian south and vowed that all of the Sudan would be a Muslim nation. Over the years the government has developed into a fundamentally radical state similar to the theocracy of the Afghanistan Taliban government. Osama Bin Laden had developed his al-Qaeda organization in the Sudan before being asked to leave by the Khartoum leaders, who were encouraged by the U.S. to expel him for his terrorists activities.

The divisions between the people of the north and south are enormous, based on;

… racial and cultural division, Arab/brown against African/Black,

… as well as a religious defined Muslim north and Christian south.

… Combine that with a political divide which the “Holy Jihad” justification by the northern government provides,

and the gulf becomes as immense as any on earth. The “Sharia” or conduct code for the Muslim community provides that any persons out of the Muslim “faith” are unclean, thus they look down upon the Christian blacks as an inferior people. Last year, I wrote about the extensive slave trade of the Muslim community as we “bought back” 4119 Dinka Christian women and children who had been in slavery for an average of six years.

Civil War since Independence

With independence in 1956, the northern-dominated government in Khartoum sought to Arabize and Islamize the South. It had two motives: a belief that homogenizing the country would ensure national unity and a desire to spread what they considered to be a superior civilization. Some Southerners did convert, whether out of conviction or for other reasons, but most resisted.

A civil war between North and South had already begun a year before independence, in 1955, continuing until the Addis Ababa agreement of 1972 granted regional autonomy to the South. Although the issue of a constitution in conformity with Islam had been debated since independence, President Ja`far Muhammad Numayri’s presidential decree of September 1983, imposing Shari’a (the sacred law of Islam) on the country placed the issue squarely on the public agenda, leading to increased tensions and eventual conflict between the government and rebels in the South. The conflict resumed in 1983 when the Khartoum government unilaterally abrogated the Addis Ababa agreement, divided the South into three regions, reduced the powers of the regional governments, and imposed Shari’a on the whole country, including the non-Muslim South.

The South fought under the leadership of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement and its military wing, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLM/SPLA). The rebellion was triggered when the government attempted to transfer southern battalions to the North, thereby removing their capacity to resist. The rebels fled to Ethiopia, where they received strong support which helped them organize themselves and equipped them militarily, turning them into a strong force against the government. Although the SPLM/SPLA is composed largely of Southerners under Christian leadership, it was later joined by non-Arab ethnic groups from the North and liberal-minded Northerners who share with the movement a vision of a secular, democratic Sudan.

Then, after Numayri’s ouster in 1985, the Muslim Brethren, an elite Islamist group, metamorphosed into a broader-based political party, the National Islamic Front (NIF). The NIF shot to prominence in the parliamentary elections of 1986, winning the third largest number of seats. The group’s Islamic agenda was endorsed and reinforced by General ‘Umar Hasan al-Bashir, who seized power on June 30, 1989, in the name of the “Revolution for National Salvation.” Initially, Bashir projected himself as independent from the NIF, although he shared its Islamist agenda. In due course, however, it became clear that the coup d’état was in fact engineered by the NIF and that Hasan at-Turabi, the NIF’s leader, wielded the real power with Bashir not much more than the executor of his will. Recently, however, a conflict over power has ensued between Bashir, supported by young hawks from Turabi’s camp, and Turabi, joined by some loyal NIF members and new supporters. While the struggle continues, Bashir appears to have the upper-hand while Turabi is significantly marginalized within the system. Their conflict has limited importance for the South, being internal to the Islamist agenda; both parties still agree that the South will only receive limited accommodation within an Islamic state.

Since the resumption of hostilities in 1983, the relationship between religion and the state, in particular the role of Shari`a, has emerged as the central factor in the conflict. Religion on both sides defines identity. For Northerners, Islam is not only a faith and a way of life, it is also culture and ethnic identity associated with Arabism. For Southerners, Islam is not just a religion, but also Arabism as a racial, ethnic, and cultural phenomenon that excludes them as black Africans and adherents of Christianity and indigenous religions. Race in the Sudan is not so much a function of color or features, but a state of mind, a case of self-perception; the North identifies as Arab, no matter how dark its people’s skin color.

Religion defines identity in both the Sudan’s North and the South.

The southern backlash to Islamization and Arabization boosted its Christian identity. Southerners now combine indigenous culture, Christianity, and general elements of Western culture to combat Islam and the associated imposition of Arab identity.

To Stop Sudan’s Brutal Jihad, Support Sudan’s Opposition
by James Phillips
Backgrounder #1449

Sudan, Africa’s largest country, has been convulsed for 18 years by a brutal civil war that has claimed 2 million lives. Once dubbed “the forgotten war,” Sudan’s internal conflict has attracted growing international attention because of mounting evidence that Sudan’s radical Islamic regime has resorted to systematic bombing of civilians, starvation, slavery, ethnic cleansing, religious persecution, and other human rights abuses to break the will of the opposition, composed predominantly of Christians and animists living in the south.

Sudan’s President Omar al Bashir, indicted for war crimes, is a man who wants to stay at the top – no matter what it costs his people

Omar al-Bashir has dismissed the ICC proceedings against him as worthless Photo: AFP

Many words are used to describe the President of Sudan – evil, remorseless, paranoid and pitiless among them. But Omar al-Bashir, 65, who became this week the first serving head of state to face an international warrant for war crimes, is first and foremost a pragmatist, a man who changes apparently steadfast positions when it suits him best.

He is not bloodthirsty and ruthless because he is a monster, the thinking goes, but because he is a calculating strategist who will do anything to stay in power.

War against Sudan’s south continued until peace brought Mr Bashir more benefits.
Osama bin Laden, and 5,000 of his jihadist fighters, were welcome until Sudan’s pariah status harmed the president too much.
Political opposition was banned until he had created ways to control it.

Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir was born the son of a farmer who tilled the fertile soil of the Nile Valley north of Khartoum on New Year’s Day, 1944, when his country was still a part of the Kingdom of Egypt and Sudan. On his 12th birthday, the nation he would go on to lead became an independent sovereign state.

Aged 16, Mr Bashir joined the army, studying at military colleges in Cairo and Khartoum. He was promoted quickly, fighting with Egypt against Israel in 1973, and in southern Sudan against his own rebellious countrymen.

Rising through the ranks to lieutenant-general, in 1989 he headed a section of army officers who ousted the country’s civilian prime minister, Sadiq al-Mahdi.

Soon after, standing before a rally with a Kalashnikov in one hand and a Koran in the other, he promised to “purge from our ranks the renegades, the hirelings, enemies of the people and enemies of the armed forces.

“Anyone who betrays the nation does not deserve the honour of living,” he said.

First Mr Bashir disbanded all government and state authorities and vested their powers in his Revolutionary Command Council for National Salvation, in which he became chief of state, prime minister, chief of the armed forces and minister of defence. Islamic law was introduced. Music, dance and wedding celebrations were banned and the Guardians of Morality and Advocates of the Good policed the country’s values. By 1993, he declared himself president of a new civilian administration. Harbouring Osama bin Laden between 1991 and 1996 put Sudan on America’s list of “state sponsors of terror”. At first, Mr Bashir could not have cared less. Bin Laden was pumping money into the country and Mr Bashir was celebrating his credentials as one of radical Islam’s poster boys supporting the jihadist struggle.

Then oilfields discovered in the country’s centre started producing millions of barrels a year. China and Malaysia signed up quickly to import the crude, earning Mr Bashir’s regime a windfall to spend on weapons. “God is rewarding Sudan for its faithfulness,” he is said to have boasted of the oil bonanza.

But despite his good fortune, Mr Bashir can sense early when the wind is changing. Bin Laden was kicked out when other north African Arab countries shunned Sudan for training terrorists who launched attacks against their own governments or presidents.

Hosni Mubarak, Egypt’s former president, said Mr Bashir and his cronies were “thugs, criminals and crackpots” after he survived an assassination attempt in Ethiopia launched by militants hosted by Sudan.

After September 11, Mr Bashir, still on Washington’s list of al-Qaeda-friendly leaders, began publicly denouncing terrorism. Why? He feared retribution.

In 1998, President Bill Clinton ordered a cruise missile attack on a pharmaceutical factory outside Khartoum suspected of manufacturing chemical weapons. It was not, but Mr Bashir was humiliated. And that, Sudan-watchers say, is when he is at his most dangerous and most cunning. Cornered, he comes out fighting, wrapping himself in the cloak of nationalism to win back wavering followers.

He is perhaps most notorious for wars carried out on his watch against his own people – or at least the majority in the corners far from Khartoum, where dissent is strongest.

More than two million people died during the north-south war between 1983 and 2004. When southern rebel attacks on government-controlled oil installations grew too troublesome, Mr Bashir sued for peace.

As those peace talks were progressing, Darfur’s rebel groups, emboldened by seeing southerners winning powerful concessions, took up arms against Khartoum. Mr Bashir diverted his Antonov bombers and his paid-for Arab militias from the south to the west.

It is this conflict that has finally worn out international patience with Mr Bashir, and led to Wednesday’s charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

Mr Bashir, speaking at a rally in Khartoum yesterday, described the ICC as a stooge of the imperialist West. “We have refused to kneel to colonialism. That is why Sudan has been targeted … because we only kneel to God,” he told the crowd, to cheers and chants of “Down with USA”.

Elections are planned for this year and the president, by flexing this way and that, by instilling fear about collapse if he is gone, is likely to win again. But the ICC warrant and the international outrage that preceded it have given Sudan’s fragmented and hamstrung opposition some hope. There are rumours flying around Khartoum that Mr Bashir’s extended clique is wavering in its loyalty. A palace coup could be coming, some whisper. What is certain – in a country where little else is – is that Mr Bashir will dance whichever way he feels necessary in an effort to stay at the top.

Facing Evil: Genocide in Darfur [2005] … Islamist dictatorship… the Islamist movement, the political expression of Islamic fundamentalism that seeks to impose its theocratic vision on the Islamic world. Beginning in the 1930s and 1940s with the Islamic Brotherhood, this movement morphed into the National Islamic Front (NIF), which took control of Sudan in the 1989 coup and turned Khartoum into an international center for guerilla activities elsewhere. Osama bin Laden lived in Khartoum for five years before leaving for Afghanistan in 1995. Today the NIF is trying to impose its Islamist and Arabist worldview on all of Sudan, at the expense of indigenous farmers, mostly in the south and west, who identify themselves by tribe and for whom Arabic is a second language.
Roughly speaking, the conflict is ethnic… majority is considered inferior by the privileged Arabist minority centered in Khartoum and, in a comparison drawn by Gillian Lusk, deputy editor of the London-based fortnightly newsletter Africa Confidential, was “in the way,” much as the Jews, Roma, and other “others” were for the Nazis.
Historically, racism plays a part. Arabs refer to darker Africans as “abeed,” roughly equivalent to “slave.” These ancient antipathies go back to the Ottoman Empire, when conquerors developed the north of Sudan and neglected the more inaccessible south—and earlier, under Egypt, when northern Arabs raided the south for ivory and slaves. Slavery continued as a powerful undercurrent in the north-south war that has wracked Sudan for the past two decades, as the northern rulers kidnapped young Africans and forced them into military service.

Handicapped by the latent Arabist racism of the leadership, which hails, as it always has, almost entirely from Khartoum and the Middle Nile Valley, few Darfurians had risen to the top ranks of the Government or the Civil Service. A clandestine “Black Book”, which appeared in Sudan at this time, documented the racial and regional domination of the Sudanese state by those drawn from riverain Arab groups…
Accustomed to seeing Sudan through an “Arab vs African” lens, many observers have missed the fact that there is more than one kind of Arabism at work: the riverain Arabism of Bashir and Taha, coloured by the Islamic movement’s orientation to Arab civilization, is a far cry from the Koreishi beliefs of Acyl’s Bedouin acolytes. Khartoum’s ruling elites regard the Darfur Arabs as no less backward than their non-Arab neighbours. True adherents of the Koreish ideology reciprocate by dismissing the riverain tribes as half-caste “Arabized Nubians”…

Darfuri Refugee Thanks British Jewry
by Justin Cohen – Thursday 7th August 2008
A Darfuri refugee this week made an emotional plea to Anglo-Jewry to continue supporting those forced to flee the region as he thanked the Jewish News for its efforts to halt deportations to Sudan
Pouring out his heart this week, the 32-year-old recalled how he was forbidden from speaking his own language at school “because the Arab government wanted us to be more Arabic” and how Black Africans had to sit at the back of the class.

Soyinka Links Darfur Crisis to Arab Racism, Slavery

Written by Evan Mwangi: Afrika News Books and Arts Editor

Wednesday, 25 April 2007
Nigerian author Wole Soyinka has linked the Darfur genocide to the history of Arabs enslaving Negroid Africans in Sudan, the Harvard Crimson has reported.

The first African winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and a consistent critic of the Sudanese government asked the Arab section of Sudan to confront its enslaving past and acknowledge its current role in the violence in Darfur as racist instead of remaining in a “state of amnesia.”

An articulate intellectual and dramatist, Soyinka delivered the speech “Darfur: Anything to do with Slavery?” to a full house at the Center for Government and International Studies, Harvard University. He addressed the ongoing violence that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of displaced refugees.

Soyinka argued that Arabs played a historic role in the African slave trade, and a feeling of supremacy still prevails among the Janjaweed, a militia terrorizing the Negroid part of the Sudan.

Soyinka said the Janjaweed are “motivated” by a mentality in which they see their victims as slaves. “You destroy a people if you treat them with disdain,” Soyinka is quoted as saying.

“I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave.”

The Arab Slaver

Posted by Jeff Morton on Saturday, June 07, 2008 8:19:48 PM
My country is called the great Satan by many in the Islamic world. We were once called capitalist pigs or similar metaphors used by much of the communist world. It has been stated by a certain group of people living within America that we have white devils running the establishment. Far to many Black Americans have yet to move beyond the race issue while at the same time (unfortunately) racism is still practiced by just about every group within our borders.
I have experienced racism in Asian restaurants. I have had Mexicans say to my face that, “some Blacks are just ignorant!” I have dealt with many Whites who have a sense of entitlement that excuses racism because after all, the “It’s my country mentality” is still pervasive to some. I have dealt with the blatant ignorance of white supremacy as well.

One experience I have yet to have occur of late is a black liberal or black conservative politician or so called black academia mention the historical facts concerning Islamic slavery and how the Arab countries subjugated entire communities or groups of human beings otherwise known as infidels to slavery. This timing is ripe for this discussion.

When I read materials by Cornell West such as, Race Matters” or Jews and Blacks (let the healing begin) or when I read of the latest rant by what I have deemed to be our countries, ‘super idiot’ Al Sharpton, I wonder why Black America cannot move beyond victimization. It is as though we want white people to apologize for slavery and until they do we won’t forgive, ever! Truth be told, what the Arabs perpetrated on the African and continue to do so especially on the black Christian is remarkably never spoken of by Jesse Jackson or any member of the black community. Please, review the following video before reading further, click the link (www.dailymotion.com/video/x459mk_islam-slavery_politics) THANK YOU!

Nation of Islam’s infamous Louis Farrakhan support for the Slavery in Sudan

Slavery in the Sudan has come to increasing public attention during the country’s 16 year war waged by the Muslim north against the black Christian south

Despite mounting evidence pointing to the disturbing reality of Black enslavement in the Sudan, Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam maintain ties with Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and leader of Sudan’s ruling party, Hassan al-Turabi. Under this leadership, the country has become a base for Islamic extremist terrorism, and Muslim enslavement of Sudanese Blacks has persisted.

March 2000 the Philadelphia Inquirer quoted Farrakhan saying, “White people are potential humans … they haven’t evolved yet.” At other times, he has referred to whites as “vicious beasts” and “the skunks of the planet.”[...]
Farrakhan publicly denounced the United States as “the Great Satan.” Particularly noteworthy was his visit as an honored guest of Sudan’s Islamic fundamentalist government, which had slaughtered a million black Christians and enslaved hundreds of thousands of its black inhabitants.

400,000 Kashmiri Pandits, constituting 99% of the total population of Hindus living in Muslim majority area of the Kashmir Valley, were forcibly pushed out of the Valley by Muslim terrorists, trained in Pakistan, since the end of 1989. They have been forced to live the life of exiles in their own country, outside their homeland, by unleashing a systematic campaign of terror, murder, loot and arson. Genocide of Kashmiri Pandits has reached its climax with Muslim terrorism succeeding in ‘CLEANSING’ the valley of this ancient ethno-religious community. With the completion of 11th year of their forced exile, this peace loving, culturally rich community with a history of more than 5000 years, is fighting a grim battle to save itself from becoming extinct as a distinct race and culture.

Syrian forces attack Christian areas in Lebanon, in a matter of 8 hours 700 are murdered.

…By contrast, few voices were raised in May 1985, when Muslim militiamen attacked the Shatila and Burj-el Barajneh Palestinian refugee camps. According to UN officials, 635 were killed and 2,500 wounded. During a two-year battle between the Syrian-backed Shiite Amal militia and the PLO, more than 2,000 people, including many civilians, were reportedly killed. No outcry was directed at the PLO or the Syrians and their allies over the slaughter. International reaction was also muted in October 1990 when Syrian forces overran Christian-controlled areas of Lebanon. In the eight-hour clash, 700 Christians were killed — the worst single battle of Lebanon’s Civil War. These killings came on top of an estimated 95,000 deaths that had occurred during the civil war in Lebanon from 1975-1982.

October 13, 1990: The Syrian Forces invaded the Eastern areas which support the Lebanese Army under heavy air strikes (the only instance where Syria was able to fly its airforce over Lebanese space without drawing the Israelis), artillery shelling and rocket launching. Both the people and the army attempted to resist this onslaught but the Syrians were able to take over the area committing massacres in Dahr El Wahsh, Souk El Gharb, Bsous, Hadeth and Beit Mery, massacres that left hundreds of people dead and many more injured. Large numbers of soldiers and officers from the Lebanese Army were executed with a shot in the back of the head, or were captured and taken to Syrian jails where they are still being held to this day. An estimated 700 people were killed by the Syrian invaders that day. For three days the Syrians proceeded to steal what they could find inside the defense ministry, such as archives, equipment, computers, maps, and strategic historic information, which they transported to Syria. The Syrian invasion was “legitimized” by the collaboration of one Emile Lahoud, a privileged and largely ineffectual Navy officer serving as the “legitimate” front for the Syrians. In his bid as a traitor and collaborator, General Lahoud became the Général Pétain of Lebanon who was rewarded by the Syrians with the “Presidency” of Lebanon. As the ultimate puppet, Lahoud will never challenge his puppeteers in Damascus, lest he loses his career if not his life.

Shortly before 8 AM, Colette heard the first bursts of an automatic and the rumble of tanks in the village streets. Outside, men were shouting: “Out! Out! You dogs, you!”

“New Report Links Syria to 1992 Bombing of Israeli Embassy in Argentina

A report recently compiled by Accion por la Republica, an Argentine political party headed by former minister Domingo Cavallo, provides new evidence of Syrian complicity in the 1992 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires. The bombing on March 17, 1992 killed 29 people and wounded more than 200. The embassy attack was followed by a second bombing on July 18, 1994 which destroyed the AMIA building in Buenos Aires, which housed several Argentine Jewish organizations, killing 86 people and wounding several hundred.

Shortly after the bombing, a group calling itself Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility and the investigation soon focused on Iranian complicity. In May 1998, the Argentine government announced that it had “convincing proof” of Iranian involvement in the bombing and expelled seven Iranian diplomats from the country. This followed the detention in Germany of Moshen Rabbani, who had served as Cultural Attache in the Iranian Embassy in Argentina until December of 1997. Rabbani was alleged to have assisted in planning the bombings along with four Iranian spies who entered the country from the Paraguayan border town of Ciudad del Este, a center of Hezbollah activity in the region. According to reports in the Argentine press, intercepted telephone conversations from the Iranian Embassy and testimony from Ismanian Khosrow, one of the detained Iranians, corroborated Iranian involvement. However, the investigation has since stalled and no action has been taken to prosecute any of the suspects…

With a teeming population of 126 million, Nigeria is struggling to stabilize both politically and economically. Recently, instability has been made worse by religious tensions between Christians (40%) and Muslims (50%). An estimated 13,000 Nigerians have been killed in internecine violence since 1980. Most were hacked by swords and knives.

The problem stems from militant Muslims that have attempted to impose Shari’a in several states in recent years. Since 1999, 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states have adopted or plan to adopt some version of Shari’a. These developments prompted Freedom House, a watchdog group, to note that Nigeria is exhibiting symptoms of “Talibanization.”

It began on August 25, 1999, when Zamfara state announced its adoption of Shari’a after a successful campaign by fundamentalist Muslims.Indeed, Islamism was a popular alternative among those opposed to the largely corrupt national government.

1) Intensifying the massacres on innocent [especially against non combatant] Israelis.

2) More cynical use of women, kids & medical services in their war, the infamous ‘Palestinian child abuse’ unique in it’s evil, the rise in ‘Jihad camps’ for kids in the ‘suicide/homicide/genocide’ factories – the horrific crimes on their kids, bringing about many casualties amongst themselves so they can play the “victim”.

[like staging 'stone throwing' only in front of cameras, killing own people in order to turn them into icons to blame the 'Zionists', adding bodies from graves to fighting zones to claim "massacres", and a massive 'industry' of editing photos & videos. Later on these propaganda criminal activities will be imitated by Hezbollah in their initiated war of 2006 when they cause civilians to die on both sides, a Reuters journalist was even exposed of falsifying pictures to dramatize casualties in Lebanon - Hezbollahwood].

U.N. Penetrated by Hamas…
UNRWA, the U.N. organization operating in the Palestinian refugee camps in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, actually employs Hamas terrorists. This has been disclosed by Israel’s former Ambassador to the U.N., Dr. Dore Gold, who told Israel Television English News that there is ample documentation of this situation. The disclosure follows Israel Air Force video which shows Palestinian terrorists using a U.N. ambulance to transport Qassam rockets and launchers. Jerusalem is calling for an official U.N. enquiry and the firing of UNRWA commissioner Peter Hansen, who Israeli officials say is pro- Palestinian

Children and pregnant women have been used as couriers with the explosives hidden under their clothes or gowns. In one case, when a young Palestinian woman set off the metal detector alarm she told the soldiers it was a metal plate she had implanted in her leg. Showing compassion, the soldiers let her through; when she approached them she blew explosives under her gown killing and wounding them. There have been cases where terrorists tried to smuggle in explosive belts strapped inside their underwear. Palestinian ambulances have tried to smuggle wanted terrorists with their weapons through the checkpoints. Often when the checkpoints are lifted in a particular area, the terrorists immediately exploit it.
http://www.isracast.com/Transcripts/290505a_trans.htm

Hyperbolic media reports and anti-Israel propaganda have suggested Israel is harassing Palestinian women at checkpoints. It is unfortunate that women cannot be ignored as potential security threats. Border policemen at a checkpoint north of Jerusalem, for example, arrested a Palestinian woman pushing a baby stroller that concealed a pistol, two ammunition clips and a knife. On another occasion, troops searching a West Bank house for a wanted Hamas activist found his sister hiding his gun in her underpants. A woman hid a hand grenade under her baby during another raid.

It is always a tragedy when innocent civilians are killed in a counterterrorism operation. Civilians would not be at risk, however, if the Palestinian Authority arrested the terrorists, the murderers did not choose to hide among noncombatants, and the civilians refused to protect the killers.

Israel does not attack Palestinian areas indiscriminately. On the contrary, the IDF takes great care to target people who are planning terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. Israeli forces have a history of accuracy in such assaults, nevertheless, mistakes are sometimes made. Whereas the terrorists make no apology for their attacks on civilians, and purposely target them, Israel always investigates the reasons for any errors and takes steps to prevent them from reoccurring.

Israel is not alone in using military force against terrorists or in sometimes inadvertently harming people who are not targets. For example, on the same day that American officials were condemning Israel because a number of civilians died when Israel assassinated the leader of the military wing of Hamas, news reports disclosed that the United States bombed a village in Afghanistan in an operation directed at a Taliban leader that instead killed 48 Afghan civilians at a wedding party. In both cases, flawed intelligence played a role in the tragic mistakes.

The Radical Evil Of The Palestinian Arab Population

[June 20, 2007]

The Palestinian people, who support, fund and execute suicide bombings. The Palestinian people, who dress their toddlers in bomb belts and then take family snapshots. The Palestinian people, who cheered on September 11 as the World Trade Center towers fell. The Palestinian people, who followed terrorist extraordinaire Yasser Arafat, supported Saddam Hussein, shredded the blooming rose that was once Christian Lebanon, and almost toppled the Western-friendly Jordanian monarchy.

The Palestinian people, who destroy relics on the Temple Mount, openly call for the destruction of the state of Israel, ally with Syria and Iran, and elect Hamas. The Palestinian people, who teach their children that the Holocaust is a fairy tale, and that Jews routinely poison Palestinian candy. The Palestinian people, who stage injuries in order to solicit Western media sympathy, and then roar madly as they hold up their hands, red with the blood of murdered Israeli soldiers.

The idea of an entire population corrupted by bloodthirsty anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism violates modern ideas of politics. According to the Bush administration, the problem with the Palestinian Arabs isn’t the Palestinian Arabs — it’s their leadership. During Yasser Arafat’s tenure, the problem was Yasser Arafat, not the hundreds of thousands who followed him. Now the problem is Hamas, not the hundreds of thousands who supported and elected them.

The problem runs deeper than a few figureheads. The Palestinian Arab population is rotten to the core…

There They Go Again, Those Arab Racists… No, as Arabs, they are part of the greater Arab Nation…

Anti-Semitism [and the
conflict & on 'anti-Zionism]
…Zionism is no more than
self-determination for the Jewish people. Regrettably, opponents of Zionism
suggest that of all people on this earth only Jews are not entitled to
self-determination. They portray the Jewish nation as perpetrators of some
ongoing evil. Their tune has its obvious historical forbears.
When one
selects out a particular people as ineligible for the right of
self-determination, one is engaging in active racism. An anti-Zionist is someone
who opposes self-determination for the Jewish people. The anti-Zionist would not
be racist if the idea being pursued was opposition to self-determination for all
peoples, but truth be told, they oppose it only for Jews. They are engaging in
racism against Jews, and the name for such racism is anti-Semitism.
But
distinguish these from the critics of Israeli policies who genuinely address
harsh realities and suggest better ways to achieve Israel’s goal of peaceful
coexistence with her neighbours, including a new Palestinian state, without the
overhanging threat of daily terrorism.
Israel of course is the only operative
democracy in the Middle East. It is the only nation in the region whose very
declaration of independence guarantees rights for Arab and Jew alike. Both
Hebrew and Arabic are official languages. Both Jew and Arab can and do own
property, operate businesses, enjoy healthcare and public education, and
importantly exercise the right to vote. Unsurprisingly, Mr Heywood-Smith failed
to note these realities, and omitted also to mention that that there are Arab
members of the Israeli Parliament.
Now contrast Israel with the Arab nations
which surround it. They exclude the rights of Jews to practice their religion,
to live freely and to enjoy basic rights.
To this day the Palestinian
leadership has suggested that while all Palestinian Arabs should be allowed to
live within the borders of Israel, no Jews should be allowed to live within the
borders of a new state of Palestine. Israel offers equity, and her neighbours
offer exclusion in return. In an Orwellian twist, Mr Heywood-Smith reverses the
democrat and the demagogue.
In the course of many decades of conflict, both
Jews and Palestinian Arabs were variously displaced and expelled. The harsh
reality was that close to equal numbers of refugees left Arab countries to live
in Israel, and left Israel to live in Arab countries. In the first few years
after Israel’s birth as a nation, Arab countries expelled or displaced their
Jewish populations. Hundreds of thousands of Jews, many of whom had no
particular desire to move to the newborn Jewish state, were forced to go. Israel
was required to provide planes and ships to transport them from Iraq, Yemen and
North Africa. These expulsions were retaliation for the displacement of Arabs
from the Jewish portion of the British Mandate of Palestine.
The reason that
there is no ongoing claim in relation to the Jewish refugees who fled from Arab
lands is that Israel resettled them. Palestinian Arabs who fled, and their
descendants, have not enjoyed any similar benefit. Their Arab brethren have
refused to accept responsibility to settle them.
Both Jews and Arabs lived in
the British Mandate of Palestine and numerous partition proposals were put
forward to accommodate both Indigenous groups. Mr Heywood-Smith’s further
submission that Israel removed the Indigenous inhabitants of Palestine from
their lands in 1948, suggests that Jews were not Indigenous inhabitants of the
land before it became Israel. This is another falsehood, used to make Jews the
“other”. The Jewish claim for equal rights and indeed emancipation is twisted
into a claim of inequality and exclusion. This tool of propaganda also has its
obvious historical forbears…
http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=3454&page=0

One of the accusations which the various Arab countries (including Egypt and Jordan which have peace treaties with Israel) often make against Israel is that “Zionism is racism”. Defining Zionism, the national liberation movement of jews, the victims of racism, as racism is particularly cynical, yet it seems that the Arabs have succeeded to convince the leaders of some nations, themselves victims of racism, to support this vicious accusation.
The latest attempt to define Zionism as racism was at the 2001 UNESCO conference which was held in Durban, South Africa. The resolution which was initiated by Arab countries enjoyed the support of most participants. Especially painful was the support of such African leaders as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Some Western countries, however, notably Australia and Canada, objected and accused the conference of hypocrisy. The Canadian delegation, for example, issued the following statement:
“Canada is still here today only because we wanted to have our voice decry the attempts at this Conference to de-legitimize the State of Israel and to dishonor the history and suffering of the Jewish people. We believe, and we have said in the clearest possible terms, that it was inappropriate – wrong – to address the Palestinian-Israel conflict in this forum. We have said, and will continue to say, that anything – any process, any declaration, any language – presented in any forum that does not serve to advance a negotiated peace that will bring security, dignity and respect to the people of the region is – and will be – unacceptable to Canada.”
It was for that reason that both Israel and the United States under the leadership of Secretary Colin Powell, himself no stranger to racism, pulled their delegations from the conference. The final text adopted by the conference drops all direct criticism of Israel, but does recognize the Palestinians’ right to self-determination and expresses concern at their plight under foreigh occupation.
That was only the latest attempt to define Zionism as racism. In November 1975, the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 declared that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination” In December 1991, the General Assembly rescinded this resolution through Resolution 4686.
All those years the Arab countries continued to promote this false notion. It is therefore of interest to check how different things are on the other side of the fence, namely in the Arab countries. Even though there are many blacks who live in those countries the question whether they are subject to racism was academic for a long time and one had to resort to circumstantial evidence in order to answer it. One well-known fact is that most Arabs refer to blacks as “Abed” which means “slave” in Arabic. This seems to say something about the situation of racism in the Arab world. Today, due to the recent events in Darfur and the active role that the Arab Janjaweed play in the slaughter of black Africans there, this question has become more urgent and relevant than ever before. It is time for the UN and the whole world to fight it NOW

On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists, well educated young men – Saudi Egyptian, and Yemeni nationals – hijacked and flew four airliners (American Airlines Flight 11 and United Flight 175 from Boston’s Logan airport, American Airlines Flight 77 from Dulles airport and United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark Airport), with captive passengers aboard, into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia and one, due to brave actions of the passengers aboard, having been diverted from crashing into the Capital building in Washington, crashed into a field in southwestern Pennsylvania instead.
These Muslim terrorists killed more people than the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 – over 3,000. They didn’t discriminate in their mindless slaughter whether their victims were Christians, Jews, fellow Muslims, Buddhists or Hindus. Economic losses from the unprovoked attack ran into the billions. Trauma touched hundreds of millions in America and around the globe. The names Osama bin Laden and Ayman al- Zawahiri of al Qaeda became front page news. Only the alleged mastermind of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has been captured. He confessed and is now being put on trial.

The country was suddenly adrift in the wake of this disastrous ‘Pearl Harbor of the 21st Century.’ In the years that followed 9/11, our country’s military found itself enmeshed in the long war against the network of Islamic Jihad terror groups in Afghanistan, Iraq and world-wide, costing thousands of casualties and billions of dollars to prosecute. Over ten thousand Islamic terror attacks have occurred, since 9/11. Hundreds of thousands have died or been horribly injured from these jihad attacks. Attacks like those made by Indonesian Islamists on a crowded Bali nightspot on October 12, 2002 favored by Australians, by Moroccan al Qaeda affiliates on commuter trains in Madrid on March 11, 2004, and by native born British Muslims on the bus and underground system in London on July 7, 2005.
Muslim young people, we suddenly learned, are being indoctrinated in fundamentalist Islam in Mosques and Madrassas throughout the world’s Muslim community of believers – the ummah. These believers are collectively engaged in a jihad, or struggle, to remove all obstacles to the spread and ultimate dominance of Islam. One of these obstacles is the Constitution of the United States of America. This effort is being financed with billions of petro-dollars from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Emirates. Terms like Londonistan, and Eurabia are now commonly used to describe the Islamization and infiltration of the U.K. and the E.U. by Muslim advocacy groups demanding enclaves ruled by Islamic Sharia law.
Instead of rejecting and stifling this hate-filled Islamic doctrine threatening America, our national leaders have resorted to an ostrich-like pose to avoid this reality. Terms like “Islamist,” “Jihad,” and “Islamic terror” have been officially banned from national and homeland security lexicons. Our government treats Saudi Arabia as a “valued ally” while the latter fosters hatred of everything we stand for.
To commemorate September eleventh, we are publishing two recollections of the trauma and horrors of that day. Contributing Editor Jerry Gordon recalls his experience in New York , while Act for America Northern Virginia chapter leader, Catherine Martin recalls what occurred in the terror attack on the Pentagon.

Both Gordon and Martin have been motivated by their experiences to become citizen activists. Their mission is to inform Americans of the threat Islam poses here at home and abroad and to oppose its advance here. Such recollections hopefully will re-kindle efforts to combat the Islamic doctrine that killed and injured thousands on 9/11.

“No, CNN did not air decade-old footage of Palestinians dancing in the streets. Eason Jordan, CNN’s Chief News Executive, confirmed that the video used on CNN was in fact shot on Tuesday, 11 September 2001, in East Jerusalem by a Reuters TV crew, not during the Persian Gulf conflict of 1990-91… …

Reuters welcomes a statement by the Universidad Estatal de Campinas-Brasil (UNICAMP), one of whose students was the author of the original e-mail, setting the record straight.
The videotape in question was shot in East Jerusalem by a Reuters camera crew on September 11 in the immediate aftermath of the attacks on the United States. The footage was broadcast by CNN and other subscribers to the Reuters video news service.’”.

Article from London’s Daily Mirror…

American voices are already being raised against attacking Iraq – that’s what a democracy is for. How many in the Islamic world will have a minute’s silence for the slaughtered innocents of 9/11? How many Islamic leaders will have the guts to say that the mass murder of 9/11 was an abomination? When the news of 9/11 broke on the West Bank, those freedom-loving Palestinians were dancing in the street. America watched all of that — and didn’t push the button. We should thank the stars that America is the most powerful nation in the world. I still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a “war on terrorism.” A real war.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the terror group led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has released a new statement in which it explains the reasons for its terror campaign and states that they are not fighting the US occupation of Iraq, but to create “an Islamic state which is part of the caliphate and the Muslim territory.”

The terror group then goes on to reveal its real objectives, saying: “We are not fighting to chase out the occupier or to save national unity and keep the borders outlined by the infidels intact,” the statement continues. “We are fighting because it is a religious duty to do it, just as it is a duty to take the Sharia [Islamic law] to the government and create an Islamic state.”

Translated excerpts from the 56-page manual, authored by Hafid Abu-Basir, are available from the Site Institute.

Armed Forces Spokesman Brig. Gen. Edilberto Adan said the government has tasked volunteers and local government officials with locating Sobero’s headless corpse.

Over 40 people were wounded as the terrorist set off a powerful body bomb belt destroying the glass-walled Matza restaurant, located along Ruppin Street in the Neve Shannon neighborhood of Haifa. The force of the explosion was so strong that it blew the roof off of the restaurant. A police source at the scene said it was not so much the nails and screws – the shrapnel that killed may have killed, it was the force of the blast buried whole families.

Suicide bombing at Patt junction in Jerusalem
June 18, 2002

19 people were killed and 74 injured – six seriously – in a suicide bombing at the Patt junction in Jerusalem. The bus, which was completely destroyed, was carrying many students on their way to school. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.

Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack and identified the bomber as Muhamed al-Ral, an Islamic law student at An-Najah University. A preliminary investigation indicated that he had made his way from Nablus to Bethlehem. From there he infiltrated Jerusalem’s southern city limits the night before the bombing, despite a massive deployment by police and soldiers alerted by intelligence warnings of an attack in the capital.

Al-Ral boarded Egged bus no. 32A from Gilo at 7:50 A.M. at the stop in Beit Safafa, an Arab neighborhood opposite Gilo, and almost immediately detonated the large bomb which he carried in a bag stuffed with ball bearings. The blast destroyed the front half of the bus, packed with people on their way to work and schoolchildren. Of the 19 victims, 17 were residents of the Gilo neighborhood.

Two Palestinian Muslim ~~suicide~~ genocide bombers blew themselves up on a pedestrian mall, murdering twenty-three people – 15 Israelis and 8 foreign nationals, and injuring about 120.

January 5, 2003

Twenty-three people – 15 Israelis and 8 foreign nationals – were killed and about 120 wounded when two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up on a pedestrian mall in the Neve Sha’anan neighborhood in Tel-Aviv, adjacent to the old central bus station. The mall was packed with shoppers and laborers returning home from work.

The first bombing occurred shortly before 6:30 in the evening near a bus stop on a parallel street to the mall. The second bomber struck about 30 seconds later, outside a cafe. “It is a maneuver we know well,” said Tel Aviv police chief Cmdr. Yossi Sedbon. One bomber blows himself up in a crowded space and then the other, hoping to maximize the casualties, detonates his bomb when he is reached by a tide of panicked survivors. The bombs each contained about 15 kilograms of explosives and shrapnel.

Many of the dead and wounded were foreign workers, and the Interior Ministry issued a statement saying nobody seeking medical aid would be subject to expulsion or arrest.

The attack was apparently carried out by two members of the Fatah Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, with the help of the Islamic Jihad.

Fears for Pakistani Christians

Last Updated: Tuesday, 18 March, 2003, 04:37 GMT

A senior Christian leader in Pakistan, Cecil Chaudhry, has told the BBC that he fears for the safety of his community if there is a war in Iraq.
He said that during the last Gulf conflict, some Pakistani Christians and churches were attacked, and he is concerned the same thing could happen again.

Mr Chaudhry said extremism is at a higher level now than it was then.

He also said that Christians in Pakistan had experienced problems during the American military action in Afghanistan in 2001.

A government spokesman told the BBC that precautionary measures were being taken to prevent attacks on the local Christian community .

The latest crime of Albanian fascists on young children in Gorazdevac, near Pec
Gora?devac, near Pec, (eastern Kosovo and Metochia ), 13 August 2003 :
Several young Serbian children have been shot by the Albanian terrorists while playing near the river. They were ambushed and were shot with Kalashnikov machine guns. At least two children, at the age of twelve have died immediately, and more than 8 other children are in the critical situation.

The male who was trying to drive the shot children to the hospital has been attacked. The vehicle he was driving was demolished and attacked by stones by the Albanians on the way to the nearby hospital, situated in an area with an Albanian population. At the hospital, they were attacked by the hospital security staff when they approached. That was all because they were Serbs and had to die.

The 29 suspects, mostly Moroccan nationals, are charged with as many as 192 counts of murder and face cumulative prison sentences of more than 300,000 years. The attackers were inspired by al-Qaeda’s call to punish Spain’s government for supporting the Iraq war, prosecutors have said. Nine Spaniards are accused of helping the bombers get the explosives. … Spain holds a strong appeal to Islamic militants because the southern region of Andalucia was under Muslim control for almost 800 years until the so-called re-conquest by Spain’s Catholic Kings in 1492. Al-Qaeda has called on jihadists to reconquer Spain as part of a broader Muslim caliphate, or kingdom under Islamic rule.

“It is enough to know that the economy of all Arab countries is weaker than the economy of one country that had once been part of our world when we used to truly adhere to Islam. That country is the lost Al Andalus……No Muslim territory should ever become non-Muslim…..Let the whole world know that we shall never accept the tragedy of Andalusia.”

Kosovo violent clashes, predominantly involving ethnic Albanians attacking Kosovo Serb.

Serbia and Montenegro (Kosovo/Kosova)

The March Violence: KFOR and UNMIK’s failure to protect the rights of the minority communities

Amnesty International is deeply concerned at the failure of the domestic and international security forces to adequately protect minority communities in the violent clashes which occurred on 17 – 18 March 2004. The organization is also seriously concerned at allegations of complicity by some members of the Kosovo Police Service (KPS – the domestic police force)(1) in the violence which, the authorities estimated, involved some 51,000 people in 33 violent incidents throughout Kosovo – predominantly involving ethnic Albanians attacking Kosovo Serb enclaves and communities. Nineteen people died and over 950 were injured in the violence and there was large-scale destruction of property. Over 4,000 people were forced to flee their homes.

Kosovo death toll rises to 31 “The thousands of ethnic Albanians that attacked KFOR, the police, Serb enclaves and churches should be aware of robust reserve forces,”

Chechen separatists Islamic fundamentalists & at least one Arab took more than 1,200 school children and adults hostage on September 1, 2004, in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia-Alania (an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation). On the third day of the standoff, chaotic gunbattle broke out between the hostage-takers and Russian security forces. 334 civilians were killed, including 186 children, and hundreds more were wounded. Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev took responsibility for the hostage taking.

Slaughter of Beslan children done as murderers shouted “God is Great”, says theologian
According to deacon Kuraev…
Moscow (AsiaNews) Beslan was a “religious” crime, a “ritual murder” carried out by people shouting Allah Akbar (God is great), this according to Orthodox theologian Andrei Kuraev, professor at the Moscow Orthodox Theological Academy.
Kuraev goes further: “They were not just gangsters who killed. They were people of one faith who killed Christians in the name of their creed.”

The international connection to the Chechen jihad is demonstrated again. First, the terrorists at Beslan made at least two phone calls, in Arabic, to the Middle East. One of them was to Saudi Arabia, but the Russians aren’t saying where the other call was to. Second, one of the Beslan terrorists was a British citzen, and two others were Britain-based Algerians. All three attended Finsbury Park mosque.

The Rape Jihad
Each of us was raped by between three and six men¦.One woman refused to have sex with them, so they split her head into pieces with an axe in front of us.” This happened in Darfur, from which Sudanese military personnel actually airlifted women to Khartoum to serve as sex slaves. Meanwhile, Indira Dzetskelova, the mother of one of the child hostages in Beslan, Russia, reports that “several 15-year-old girls were raped by terrorists.” Her daughter “heard their terrible cries and screams when those monsters took them away.” This indicates that there are two things the massacre in Beslan has in common with the ongoing massacres in Darfur: both, no less than the 9/11 attacks, are examples of Islamic jihad terrorism, and both are characterized by rape.

The jihadist element has been made clear by the ringleaders of both atrocities. Sudanese General Mohamed Beshir Suleiman recently declared: “The door of the jihad is still open and if it has been closed in the south it will be opened in Darfur.” In southern Sudan, of course, the jihad was waged against Christians; in Darfur, the targets are black African Muslims whose Islamic bona fides don’t satisfy Khartoum. As for Beslan, the Chechen jihadist leader Shamil Besayev warned the Russian government last winter: “Praise Allah, we are dreaming of dying in jihad, we are dreaming of dying on the way of Allah, so that we could earn paradise and mercy of Allah.” What does rape, then, have to do with these religious conflicts? Unfortunately, everything….

Islamic Abu Sayyaf strikes in the ‘Valentine Day Bombing’ in the Philippines.

[PHOTO AT LEFT - CARNAGE: Police inspect what's left of the bus that was bombed in Makati last night. Photo by BERNARDO BATUIGAS ]

MANILA, February 15, 2005 (STAR) By Edith Regalado, John Paul Jubelag and Evelyn Macairan – Three bomb explosions in a span of one hour jolted a nation celebrating Valentine’s Day last night, killing at least seven people and wounding over a hundred others, military and police officials said.

The extremist group Abu Sayyaf claimed responsibility in a phone call between the explosions, calling it retribution for a major military offensive against Islamic gunmen in Mindanao.

The death toll is expected to rise as in Makati City alone, where one of the bombings took place, around 70 people were rushed to three different hospitals. Police said three people were killed as a passenger bus exploded in flames and scattered debris that hit two other buses.

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Edgar Aglipay ordered the 114,000-strong police force to tighten security in vital installations and commercial establishments nationwide.

Abu Sayyaf leader Abu Solaiman called the bombings a Valentine’s Day “gift” to President Arroyo.

GMA hails fall of 3rd suspect in Valentine’s Day bombing
FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2005 | NATIONAL DEFENSE

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo congratulated today all those involved in the capture of the alleged maker of the explosive used in the Valentine’s Day bombing of a bus in Makati City that killed three passengers and injured several others.

Gappal Bana, alias “Boy Negro,” 22, reportedly a member of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group, was presented by the police to the media this morning at the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City.

Nursing a gunshot wound on his thigh which he sustained during a brief firefight with lawmen last Monday, Bana reportedly surrendered to Camarines Sur Rep. Rolando Andaya Jr. Thursday evening in Barangay Mambolo, Libmanan, Camarines Sur.

The President, who was in Kalibo, Aklan this morning, said the arrest of the suspect solved the mystery over the perpetrators of the simultaneous bomb attacks that rocked the cities of Davao, Gen. Santos and Makati last Feb. 14.

Give no aid to Hamas…
Hamas’ election victory, on top of advances by Islamists in Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt, has energized and unified the radicals.

This is no longer a political conflict about borders and identity. Militant Islam has declared a religious war in which the destruction of Israel is seen as but the first step in establishing a Muslim caliphate. It is said that Hamas will have to change because most Palestinians want peace. Would that that were
so. In one poll, Hamas’ hate-filled platform is supported by 68% of Palestinians, with 56% in favor of continued suicide bombings of Israeli citizens.
This wider jihad against the West will either gather momentum and succeed or be confronted and defeated. America must not follow the European way
of “walking softly and carrying a big carrot.” We must not be fooled by Hamas’ Mr. Nice Guy campaign: Its purpose is simply to buy time to consolidate power. Washington made a grave error in rejecting Israeli and Fatah warnings about
Hamas’ participation in the election.

The Apocalyptic Teaching of Islam: The totalitarian temptation remains powerfully in place. Muslims across the world are drawn by the apocalyptic teachings of Islam with its slogan “Islam is the solution.” That was the case from Iran in 1979 to Algeria in 1992 to Turkey in 2002, to the Paris riots in 2005 to the actions of the Hezbollah and Hamas in recent weeks. Under Secretary Levey discussed Hezbollah’s and Iran’s financial institutions on September 8, 2006 at a 9/11-related event in Washington. “It is remarkable that Iran has a nine-digit line item in its budget to support Hizballah, Hamas, and other terrorist organizations at the expense of investing in the future of its young people.” He went on to comment: “While we can point to progress since 2001, there is no doubt that the world remains a dangerous place.” Continuing: “The next steps may involve sacrifice, but I think that people are beginning to recognize that the costs we face now pale in comparison to those we might face in the future if Iran does not change course.”

A HIGHLIGHTED CRIME [AS A CLASSIC REMINDER OF SO MANY RACIST ARABS AND BIGOTED MUSLIMS ATTACKS ON JEWS IN EUROPE AND IN FRANCE IN PARTICULAR] MUSLIMS’ FACSIST GANG ATTACK ON ILAN HALIMI

The Shocking unimaginable Torture for weeks (to the sound of reciting the Quran… ) and murder by a gang of (about) 30 Muslims called the “Barbarians” [with additional "drop in" Muslim friends that happily participated in the torture] of the young french Jew Ilan Halimi (seduced by a Muslim prostitute sent by the gang to get into a trap).

The grisly murder of Ilan Halimi should concern the entire Jewish world.

The highest echelons of the French government — led by President Jacques
Chirac and Premier Dominique DeVillepin — went out of their way Thursday night
to express sympathy and solidarity with their country’s Jews, following the
torture and murder of Ilan Halimi. Their attendance of memorial services at
Paris’s Victoire Synagogue for the 23-year-old victim constituted the most
unequivocal and authoritative admission that Halimi fell prey to a horrid hate
crime.

The knee-jerk inclination of French officialdom, however, was refusal to
categorize this as an anti-Semitic homicide. Initially there even was reluctance
to note the Jewish identity of the victim.

The discovery of the dying
Halimi near rail tracks in the Paris suburb of St. Genevieve
on February 13 sent shock waves throughout France. The cell phone
salesman was found handcuffed, gagged, battered, slashed and with burns
over most of his naked body. He had obviously been tortured to death.

The interrogation of the
since-apprehended gang, which abducted and then for three weeks held
Halimi for ransom — before, as French police report,
dousing him with flammable liquid and setting him alight — indicated that greed
wasn’t the sole motive.

A pretty young woman lured Halimi from the store in which he was employed.
He was kept naked, bound and hooded, subjected throughout to gruesome torments.
The kidnappers, who demanded ransom, were told that the family was far from
wealthy. They replied that funds be elicited “from the synagogue,” because “all
Jews are rich.” The French-Arab and African-Muslim
ringleaders also recited verses from the Koran in their communications with the
family.

French interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy confirmed that the perpetrators
“were convinced that ‘Jews have money’… That’s called anti-Semitism by
conflation.” He added that four of six persons the same gang attempted to
capture were also Jews.

Sarkozy revealed that some suspects possessed extreme Islamic and
pro-Palestinian literature and documents. What they confessed to the police
further confirmed the apprehension that Halimi was subjected
to barbaric abuse because he was a Jew.

The grisly attack came at a time in which some French higher-ups boasted
that they had beaten back the anti-Semitic tide that accompanied the 2000
intifada. Indeed the French government oversaw a dramatic drop in anti-Jewish
incidents. Reportedly the number of anti-Semitic assaults in France for 2005 is
47% below that of 2004. In this respect the French approach and record is better
than that of other European states.

But this clearly isn’t the whole story. Physical attacks are only one
expression of the distress experienced by French Jews, many of whom live in
close proximity to Muslim immigrants (estimated at 12% of the population).
Jewish children in public schools are frequently bullied by Arab classmates.
It’s almost impossible to teach the Holocaust in schools with large Arab/Muslim
student bodies.

In certain urban French neighborhoods it’s risky for Jews to wear
skullcaps. Many French Muslims regard local Jews, their houses of worship and
communal institutions fair game in their attempts to wreak vengeance on Israel.
This indeed is something for Israelis to ponder. The Jewish state’s enemies
often consider all Jews legitimate targets, as the 1994 blast in Buenos Aires’s
AMIA Jewish Community Center (which claimed 86 lives) demonstrated on a tragic
scale.

France was late in combating the “collective punishment” meted by some
Muslims on their Jewish neighbors. It first turned a blind eye to numerous
anti-Semitic outbreaks, insisting that “there is no anti-Semitism in France.”
Jews were essentially requested not to bother the authorities.

Official downplaying of rampant anti-Semitism between 2000-2003 left deep
emotional scars in the Jewish community. The Halimi murder and the initial
disinclination to treat it as a hate crime reopened many old wounds. DeVillepin
promised “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” about the crime
that alarmed France’s Jews. He will have to convince them, but not only them.

Anti-Semitism in Paris isn’t just an internal French matter. It should
concern all of us in the Jewish state. We mustn’t be wary of speaking up lest we
offend French sensibilities. Ariel Sharon didn’t shrink a few years back from
calling on French Jews to make aliya. Our government’s concern over the Halimi
murder should be conveyed directly to the French government at the highest
levels, and our solidarity more emphatically shown with the embattled French
Jewish community.

The Murder of Ilan Halimi
Tuesday, March
07, 2006
…Little by little, information emerged about the crime. There were at least fifteen thugs, maybe more. They had used a girl to seduce Halimi into the trap where he was captured. They knew he was a Jew and they had chosen him for that reason. In his pocket they found the phone number of a rabbi and he was the first person they called, telling him: “We have a Jew. The family has to pay. If the family cannot pay, it will be the synagogue.” In succeeding days, they called the rabbi again, howling sentences full of hatred. Later, they called the family, asking for $600,000, before lowering the price to $5,000. They spoke to the mother, to Halimi’s sisters, uncle, and father. When they were not asking for money, they were reciting suras from the Quran. In some of the conversations it was possible to hear Halimi screaming in the background. The thugs sent a videotape showing the young man naked, humiliated, handcuffed, just like on a Zarqawi videos from Iraq.
..
During the last ten weeks, the people who tortured and killed Ilan Halimi had tried unsuccessfully to kidnap four other Jews..
http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=609AC68E-E190-4749-A7E8-CF30DF89AF58

… Barbarians seemed an appropriate name. The shocking cruelty inflicted on Halimi seemed to have little to do with efforts to extract money from his anguished family. It evoked the sadistic moral universe of A Clockwork Orange, the novel by Anthony Burgess, with a dose of anti-semitism thrown in.

Thanks to Yalda’s charms, Halimi was imprisoned and tortured with acid and cigarette burns for more than three weeks in the heart of a council estate.

More than 30 neighbours in the building knew what was happening but said nothing about the crime, part of a worrying wave of attacks against Jews all over the country.

Besides Yalda, several women have been arrested in an investigation into their role in botched efforts to lure other Jewish men into “honey traps”.

“He wanted a Jew,” a girl called Audrey told police, referring to Youssouf Fofana, the charismatic leader of the Barbarians, who was listed by the girls in their telephone directories as “Youssouf the barbarian”.

His choice of victims was based on two anti-semitic myths: that Jews are all rich and that they stick together. “They’re a big community,” Fofana told Audrey. “United and willing to pay.”

The murder of Ilan Halimi-Commentary
by Melanie Philips February 24, 2006
As if the kidnap, torture and murder of Ilan Halimi near Paris wasn’t bad enough, the way it has been dealt with and reported has graphically illustrated what can only be described as a pathological refusal within Europe to acknowledge the fact that French Jews are being attacked and murdered by Muslims in a kind of rolling pogrom. Ilan Halami was a Jew. He was… kidnapped and murdered because he was singled out as a Jew for this fate. A number of recent kidnappings have taken place of which the vast majority of victims have been Jews and their kidnappers Muslims. As Nidra Poller has reported in the Wall Street Journal [http://online.wsj.com/article/SB114064452021880485.html]:
…
the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Quran, while Ilan’s tortured screams could be heard in the background. The family has publicly criticized the police for deliberately ignoring the explicit anti-Semitic motives, which were repeatedly expressed and should have dictated an entirely different approach to the case from the start. Police searches have now revealed the presence of Islamist literature in the home of at least one of the gang members. The highest echelons of the French government are now preoccupied with the murder of Ilan Halimi. Paris is well aware that the case threatens France’s international reputation, but far more than that is at stake. Once again, as in the suburban riots of 2005, the country is forced to come face to face with the criminalized, alienated and racist Muslim youth and their adult enablers in its midst. Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin declared, in a long speech delivered at the annual dinner of the CRIF, that this heinous crime was anti-Semitic, and that anti-Semitism is not acceptable in France

http://www.israpundit.com/2006/?p=236

according to reports in the French press, some of the suspects in police custody said that they tortured Ilan with particular cruelty simply because he was Jewish.
No longer able to deny or play down the racial motive, the investigation is entering a new phase. One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the probable involvement of relatives and neighbors, beyond the immediate circle of the gang, who were told about the Jewish hostage and dropped in to participate in the torture.
Ilan’s uncle Rafi Halimi told reporters that the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan’s tortured screams could be heard in the background. The family has publicly criticized the police for deliberately ignoring the explicit anti-Semitic motives, which were repeatedly expressed and should have dictated an entirely different approach to the case from the start. Police searches have now revealed the presence of Islamist literature in the home of at least one of the gang members.

The story of Ilan Halimi’s murder at the hands of a terrorist gang of French Muslims brings to the surface the
various pathologies now converging to make the prospect of annihilating all Jews
seem possible to our enemies. First, there are the murderers who took such
apparent pleasure and felt such pride in the fact that for 20 days they tortured
their Jewish hostage to death.
This makes sense. Anti-Semitism in the Muslim dominated
suburbs of Paris and other French cities is all-encompassing. As Nidra
Poller related in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal, “One of the most troubling
aspects of this affair is the probable involvement of relatives and neighbors,
beyond the immediate circle of the gang [of kidnappers], who were told about the
Jewish hostage and dropped in to participate in the torture.”

It appears that Ilan Halimi’s murderers had some connection to Hamas.
Tuesday, French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said that police found
propaganda published by the Palestinian Charity Committee or the CBSP at the
home of one of the suspects. The European Jewish Press reported this week that
Israel has alleged that the organization is a front group for Palestinian
terrorists and that in August 2003 the US government froze the organization’s US
bank accounts, accusing it of links with Hamas.

Halimi Murder Suspect Tells Court ‘Allah will Conquer’

Reported: 07:41 AM – May/01/09

Yousef Fofana, the leader of the “Gang of Barbarians’ that is on trial for the grisly kidnap-murder of Ilan Halimi two years ago, entered the courtroom this week with his fist in the air and shouted, “Allah will conquer.”

When he was asked to state his date and place of birth, he used the date of the murder and the place of residence of the Halimi family. Fofana also told the judge that his name is “African Barbarian Armed Revolt Salafist.”

Halimi trial in Paris opens old wounds

Jerusalem Post – May 1, 2009ý

A crime that brought religious tensions to a boiling point in France and shook the world Jewish community to its core was thrust back into the spotlight on Wednesday, as a self-proclaimed “gang of barbarians” went on trial for the murder of Ilan Halimi, a French-Jewish cellphone salesman who was kidnapped, tortured and found dying near a railroad track south of Paris in February 2006.

Halimi, who was 23 at the time of his murder, was reportedly lured by a young French-Iranian woman to his kidnappers’ lair in a housing project in Bagneux – a southern suburb of Paris – in late January 2006. There, he was overpowered by a gang of some 21 Arab and African youths, who, using a key provided by the housing project’s janitor, tied Halimi to a chair in the basement, where he was savagely tortured for the next 24 days.

Halimi was found on February 13, 2006, naked, tied and handcuffed to a tree near a railroad track in the Parisian suburbs, with burns from acid and flammable liquid covering 80 percent of his body, multiple stab wounds, as well as a severed ear and toe. He died on his way to the hospital.

Now, with the trial under way in Paris, the wounds from 2006 are reopening painfully. At the start of the proceedings on Wednesday, the gang’s alleged leader, a French national born to immigrants from the Ivory Coast named Youssouf Fofana, entered the courtroom yelling “Allahu akbar,” and scuffles broke out between his supporters and Jewish youths who had gathered at the courthouse to voice their outrage over the crime.

Bearded and wearing a white tracksuit, Fofana gave his identity during formal questioning by the judge as “Arabs African, Salafist revolt, barbarian army,” recalling his gang’s self-appointed name, “Les Barbares” – the Barbarians.

Fofana also reportedly smirked at Halimi’s family members in the courtroom and, in a further provocation, the 28-year-old said he was born on February 13, 2006, in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois- the exact date and location of Halimi’s death.

Members of the French-Jewish community told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that, just as the grisly murder in 2006 sent tensions soaring between Parisian Jews and Muslims, the trial itself has once again highlighted the deep rifts that exist between the two communities, who often live side-by-side in the blue-collar, low income banlieues, or outlying suburbs of Paris.

“A few days before the trial began, some young Jews tried to put up Ilan’s picture around Paris, and they were confronted by groups of Arabs,” Serge Golan, a reporter for the Hamodia newspaper in Paris told the Post. “Fights broke out between the two sides. The trial is certainly bringing back all the old tensions, if they ever really went away in the first place.”

Another point of contention, Golan explained, was now over the framing of the crime itself. Fofana stands accused of kidnapping, sequestration, torture and murder – but the charge sheet also includes anti-Semitism, which French law considers an “aggravating circumstance” requiring the stiffest sentences. Fofana faces life in prison.

“The Jewish community understands that this was an anti-Semitic crime, that Halimi was killed because he was Jewish,” Golan said.

But Fofana’s lawyers, Golan continued, have attempted to frame the murder not as an anti-Semitic murder, but a kidnapping with the sole intent of financial gain.

However, even in that version of the story, Fofana and the others who have been accused, allegedly singled out Halimi because he was Jewish, and “his family had money.”

“That’s a well-known defensive line, and it won’t hold up for a minute,” David Roche, the head of the Jewish Agency’s delegation in France told the Post on Thursday.

It also contrasts starkly with the fact that the Halimis live in the same low-income suburbs as the accused.

“The outcome of this trial is going to send a message, depending on what happens, to either the Jews or the Muslims living in France,” Roche continued. “Hopefully, that message will be that anti-Semitism is unacceptable in France, and those who stand accused will be held responsible for their actions.”

Throughout the harrowing ordeal, Halimi’s captors placed phone calls to his family in which they demanded a ransom of €450,000 for his freedom. They also reportedly recited verses from the Koran while Halimi could be heard screaming in the background.

A book co-authored in part by Ilan’s mother, Ruth Halimi, titled 24 Days, claims that French police refused to face the anti-Semitic character of the crime and told the Halimis to stay silent during the ordeal.

The book also states that the Halimis were ordered not to seek aid in order to pay the ransom, nor show their son’s photo to people who might have come forward with information about his whereabouts.

The exact nature of the crime, while undeniably anti-Semitic to the Jewish community, will now have to be proven in court. And according to Golan, Fofana’s lawyers are the ones to do it.

“Mr. Fofana is being represented by two of France’s most provocative and talkative lawyers,” he said. “One, Emmanuel Ludot, was on Saddam Hussein’s defense team. The other is Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, best known for her jailhouse romance with convicted terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, also known as Carlos the Jackal.”

Cotant-Peyre has maintained that her client has been demonized by a “political-religious” campaign to portray him as the devil, but Fofana has admitted all the charges against him except the accusation that he stabbed Halimi to death.

In the days that followed Halimi’s death, French police arrested 21 people in connection with the crime, including the young woman who was used to lure Halimi to his captors.

Fofana fled to his parents’ native Ivory Coast, from where he made death threats to Halimi’s father and girlfriend. He was arrested on February 23, 2006, and was extradited back to France on March 4 of the same year.

At the time, Halimi’s murder was followed by an intense outcry in France from both the Jewish community and the general public. Six French associations called for a mass demonstration against racism and anti-Semitism in Paris two weeks after Halimi’s death, which was attended by tens of thousands of people, including French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Cardinal Archbishop of Paris Jean-Marie Lustiger, and former French prime minister Linoel Jospin.

A Follow-up attack?

Jewish teen tortured in French town where Ilan Halimi was killed

06/03/2008

The incident of brutal abuse began at 10 A.M. on February 22. Mathieu Roumi, 19, whose father is Jewish, was strolling through his neighborhood in the Paris suburb of Bagneux, which has been the site of violent riots by immigrants in the past two years. The suburb became notorious as the scene of Ilan Halimi’s 2006 murder, which horrified France.

…after which they beat him and, with the help of a third friend, dragged him to a dark basement. The three assailants were joined by three other youths, all neighborhood residents and neighbors of Roumi.

For two hours the attackers tortured the young man. One shoved cigarette butts into his mouth, another took issue with Roumi’s Jewish origin, grabbed correction fluid and scrawled “dirty Jew” on his forehead. The six men proceeded to scream at him and threaten that he would die the way Halimi did.

They identified themselves as members of the “Barbarians,” the same gang that kidnapped Halimi from his store, demanded ransom for his release, and when that was not forthcoming, tortured the 23-year-old over the course of three weeks. Moments after he was dumped on the street, Halimi died.
…

“We admire Youssouf Fofana!” they shouted at him, referring to the leader of the gang that murdered Halimi. Fofana and 29 other suspects are on trial for abduction, torture and murder. If convicted, they can expect a life sentence.

…the six assailants were arrested. Most are in their 20s, two come from Muslim homes…

Blame the Terrorists, Not Israel!
THE HEZBOLLAH and Hamas provocations against Israel once again demonstrate how terrorists can exploit human rights and the media in their attacks on democracies. By hiding behind their own civilians, the Islamic radicals issue a challenge to democracies: Either violate your own morality by coming after us and inevitably killing some innocent civilians, or maintain your morality and leave us with a free hand to target your innocent civilians. This challenge presents democracies such as Israel with a lose-lose option and terrorists with a win-win option.

From: http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2006/07/bloody-sunday- hezbollah-causes-deaths.html

Bloody Sunday: Hezbollah Causes Deaths of 60 women and Children Using Residence as Human Shield

“Why are they killing us? What have we done?” asked Khalil Shalhoub as he witnessed his brother’s remains being removed from the building in Qana, Lebanon after Israeli aircraft bombed the building suspected to be shielding rocket launchers directed at Israel. 120 such rockets were fired at Israel today.

Fox News reports that at least 56 were killed in the attack, mostly women and children.

It’s a sad and tragic event which should never have happened. And it’s one that is likely to fit into the plans of those who wish to condemn Israel and push for a ceasefire that preserves Hezbollah’s military capacity. The same military capability which violates every previous agreement intended to bring peace to the troubled region.

Ever since the crisis began, Mike’s America has pointed out how Hezbollah has used the civilian population and U.N. peacekeepers as human shields. They deliberately choose to attack from these positions and then are first to raise the cry of “massacre” or “war crime” when unintended deaths occur. We’ve reported the statement from U.N. Humanitarian Chief Egeland who denounced Hezbollah for “this cowardly blending … among women and children…I heard they were proud because they lost very few fighters and that it was the civilians bearing the brunt of this. I don’t think anyone should be proud of having many more children and women dead than armed men.”

Video Evidence Of Hezbollah Rockets Shielded by Civilian Residences

If you haven’t seen the video from the Israeli Defense Forces showing the launching of rockets directly behind a large building in the area near Qana, it is here. It’s an older video and apparently not the building which was struck today, but a nearby site which does illustrate how Hezbollah launches rockets from behind a large building to avoid detection.

The chart at right illustrates the course of rockets fired from Qana. The Israeli Defense Forces also has a further video showing how Hezbollah hides rockets in civilian targets.

More Questions: No Fighters Killed in Qana?
Reporters at the site of this tragedy report that it took many hours for them to reach the scene. They were not given any opportunity to investigate, photograph or videotape obvious military targets or dead Hezbollah fighters.

Prior to the strike in Qana, Israel took steps to warn the civilian population that strikes in this area were likely and warned them to leave. This is the same precaution they followed prior to their incursions into both Southern Lebanon and Gaza. These efforts include dropping of leaflets, phone calls to residences in affected areas and loudspeakers in some cases. Vital Perspective posted a copy of one of the leaflets warning that Israeli strikes were imminent.

From reports at the scene, survivors of the Qana attack complained that they were unable to leave, that the roads were “blocked.” Yet reporters had no trouble getting to and from the scene.

More Questions

Unfortunately, the resources of the Israeli Defense Forces are more focused on fighting and winning on the ground in Lebanon and Gaza. But the propaganda war is being lost as the world sees images of dead children and only later considers the cause.

As we wait for more information, one thing is clear: this tragedy would not have occurred if Hezbollah has been disarmed. Furthermore, this tragedy would not have happened if Iran and Syria had not provided Hezbollah with the weapons, training and funding to attack Israel. Finally, none of this would be happening if the world demanded the same level of accountability and respect for innocent civilians from Hezbollah that they require of Israel.

Answering Khalil Shalhoub’s question: “Why are they killing us? What have we done?” I would say: You have allowed Hezbollah to rearm and attack Israel. If you valued peace more than war, you would not have done so.

And Khalil: Mike’s America readers may recall another “Bloody Sunday” 23 years ago when Hezbollah killed 241 U.S. Marines sent to Lebanon as peacekeepers. Isn’t it past time you held Hezbollah accountable for the “cycle of violence?” Blaming everyone else for your problem hasn’t worked too well has it?

Update: The research department at Flopping Aces has found a number of other links to the videos mentioned above and more. A number of these are provided by Vital Perspective, a collection of which can be found at You Tube.

Vital Perspective also reminds us that the deliberate placement of weaponry in a civilian area is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Will we now hear all the bleeding heart lefties who moan about our benevolent treatment of homocidal terrorists at Guantanamo now take up the call about war crimes by Hezbollah? Don’t hold your breath!

And just for the record, Flopping Aces linked to this video at the end of which you can clearly see ambulances with UN markings being used to transport Hamas terrorists in Gaza away from the fighting.

Islamists to Zionists: ‘We’ll make SURE our kids die, so we can murder yours!’

Israel’s war of not hitting Arab civilians VS Islamists FOR it.

Since the bluff of Islamists supposedly having “issue” just keeps being exploded in their faces with each "one way" concession by the Zionists to the "never sattisfied" Arabs, more so when the Zionists gave Gaza land to the "Palestinians" and the "Palestinians" immediately responded only to continue their crimes with even less shame, overwhelmingly gave the region and to the world the gift of: electing officially the terrorists of Hamas to be their leaders.

They never can justify their killing of civilians, intentionally, how do they combat with this most honest most human and moral basic question ever?

So they came up with a plan, how to make sure their kids die, Hamas actually masterminded it, to use own kids as human shields, either firing with machine guns behind the "little stones throwers", or firing from among their families.

But great humane Israel (Israel VS Evil), can’t stomach even collateral damage, so they try always to warn the residents of an operation coming so that they should evacuate.

That is of course extremely costly, since such warnings, whether in Gaza or in Lebanon are chasing the terrorists away as well, but beautiful Israel is willing to sacrifice so much to spare Arab children that their adults hate so much but love for them to be killed on the altar of "public relation" and that "victim-hood" so sacred for the dirty Islamists.

If you want to see the deeper picture, (not only the true vs. exaggerated fake photos, just exposed on Reuters, etc. but) the real picture of Israel VS. Islamists.

Israel fights so mighty hard to AVOID civilian casualties on EITHER side, Islamists fight for the GREATER MASSACRES of CIVILIANS even on Arab Muslim side, since it serves their purpose of: "you see? Zionists are killing civilians too, they are not much better", so they can go ahead with what they always want, to massacre all non Muslims, especially the Israelis.

Death and destruction are Hezbollah’s goals

By Andrea Levin | August 8, 2006

SOMETIMES basic facts get blurred in a fierce, image-filled conflict such as the one spawned by Hezbollah’s July 12 cross-border attack in which Israeli soldiers were killed and others kidnapped while a rain of rockets descended on homes and fields. An unprovoked act of war, this Hezbollah assault followed 19 others since May 2000, when Israel pulled out from a security zone in southern Lebanon that had been created to protect against earlier terrorist incursions. In response to those first 19 incidents, Israel had essentially held its fire.

What does Hezbollah, with some 10,000 katyushas and other long-range missiles, really want? Some say Israel’s pullout from south Lebanon was incomplete (though fully certified as complete by the United Nations) and that handing over Shebaa Farms would quiet the Iranian-funded Jihadist group. But as a New Yorker story noted, even Hezbollah spokesman Hassan Ezzeddin admitted: “If they go from Shebaa, we will not stop fighting them. Our goal is to liberate the 1948 borders of Palestine.” What he means, of course, is the destruction of Israel.

Genocide seems to be the goal. This too may be lost when media focus centers on Israel’s retaliation for aggression and its army’s advance against Hezbollah fighters dug deep into the Lebanese hills. But listen to the words of the group’s leaders and consider the relentless message of Al-Manar, the organization’s richly funded satellite television network that reaches tens of millions around the world and is designated a terrorist entity by the US State Department.

Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah describes being asked whether “the destruction of Israel and the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem were Hezbollah’s goal,” and replying: “That is the principal objective of Hezbollah.” He terms Israel “an illegal state; it is a cancerous entity and the root of all the crises and wars. . .”

On Al-Manar television, Jews are termed pigs and monkeys and the Holocaust is denied. Participants in a network-sponsored symposium urge that Israel “be completely wiped out” and “just like Hitler fought the Jews” the “great Islamic nation of Jihad” should “fight the Jews and burn them.”

In May, Nasrallah appeared on the network to explain that “our nation’s willingness to sacrifice their blood, souls, children, fathers, and families” is an advantage over the Jews “who guard their lives.” (All translations by the Middle East Media Research Institute.)

This blunt admission too should be remembered in the rush of reports; for there is, indeed, a crucial difference in valuing human life, whether Israeli or Arab. The innocent Lebanese behind whom Hezbollah gunmen wantonly shelter, knowingly inviting Israel’s defensive return volley, have surely been sacrificed. And not by their own choice. One news report told of Hezbollah murdering a Lebanese man who sought to flee the fighting and escape being used as a human shield. Lebanese citizens, especially Christians, speak of rage at Iran and Syria for the ruin of their country caused by Hezbollah’s proxy militia and of helplessness at the hands of the armed thugs.

Many in the Lebanese Christian diaspora, beyond the reach of Hezbollah intimidation, speak out even more forcefully against turning Lebanon into a Shia theocracy emulating Iran.
Israel has, in fact, tried to `”guard” the lives of Lebanese civilians, dropping warning leaflets and announcing ahead its intention to target missile launchers, explosives, and gunmen. In contrast, Hezbollah fills its katyushas with lethal ball bearings to spread death and suffering as far and wide as possible.

A Boston native, David Lalchuck, was killed just days ago by this weapon as he rushed to safety from tending a kibbutz orchard. He was only the latest American to die at the hands of Hezbollah. Two-hundred-and-forty-one were killed in 1983 by a Hezbollah truck bomb at the US Marine barracks in Beirut. The Marines were part of a peace-keeping force. Until 9/11, Hezbollah had kidnapped, hijacked, tortured, and murdered more Americans than any other terrorist group.

The Great Satan and the Little Satan — America and Israel — are the obsession of Hezbollah, Iran, Al Qaeda, and other Islamic fascists. Closing our eyes to their brutality only assures more innocent lives will be lost before the threat is overcome.

Islamists’ Jihad on Buddhists kill 3 in Southern Thailand

14 January 2007, 05:45 GMT
Three killed in southern Thailand
Suspected Islamic militants have beheaded a Buddhist man and shot dead two others in southern Thailand.
A man and wife were found dead at the entrance of a rubber plantation in Yala province – the man had been shot and then decapitated, police said.

A handwritten note was found saying “We will kill all Thai Buddhists.” Another man was shot dead in a separate attack.

Almost 2,000 have died in three years of violence in three southern provinces with majority Muslim populations.

Gunmen kill 3 Buddhist laborers in Thailand
Authorities fear insurgency in the south may be spreading
The Associated PressPublished: January 29, 2007

BANGKOK: Suspected Muslim insurgents shot and killed three laborers Monday morning in the Thai province of Songkhla, raising concern that violence may be spreading from the country’s three southernmost, Muslim-dominated provinces.

The victims, all Buddhists, were on their way to work at a rubber plantation when they were ambushed by assailants who opened fire on them with shotguns and pistols, said Thammasak Wasasiri, a police colonel.

Another man was badly wounded in the attack, he said. The attack was under investigation.

“Initial investigations showed that it was an attack by Muslim insurgents,” Thammasak said. The attack took place in Sabayoi, a predominantly Muslim district, next to Pattani Province, which along with Yala and Narathiwat Provinces has been the scene of an Islamic insurgency that has led to more than 1,900 deaths in three years.

Sheik Abu Hamza, affiliated with London’s Finsbury Park mosque, tells an audience that non-believers should be killed or sold into slavery.
“If a kafir person (non-believer) goes in a Muslim country, he is like a cow,” explains Hamza. “Anybody can take him. That is the Islamic law.”
“If a kafir is walking by and you catch him, he’s booty,” he says on one tape. “You can sell him in the market. Most of them are spies. And even if they don’t do anything, if Muslims cannot take them and sell them in the market, you just kill them. It’s OK.”

Abu Hamza Al – Masri (1998):
“What makes Allah happy? Allah?s happy when (non-Muslims) get killed.”
“You see the Islamic rule, if a Kuffar (non-Muslims) goes into a Muslim country. And he’s walking by. He’s like a cow; boy, anybody could take him. That is the Islamic rule and this is the opinion of Islam. It’s not my opinion. If you read the books of jihad, you’ll see . . . A Kuffar is walking by, he walks inside ? you catch him. “What are you doing here?” Then he’s a booty, you can sell him in the market. If Muslims cannot take him, you know, and sell him in the market then you just kill him. It’s okay.”

Operation ‘Cast Lead’ & the four radical Islamic Crimes

December 27, 2008

Operation ‘Cast Lead’ – Israel decided it had (1) – enough of: Years of Islamic ‘Palestinian’ Hamas’ barrage of rocket attacks aimed intentionally on Israeli civilians, preferably children (at the times they go to schools and kindergartens), around a Million Israelis are under this threatening range.

(2) – The Islamic terror Hamas fights the Israeli humane (who risk their own lives in order to minmize Arab civilian casualties) anti-terror defensive forces via most inhumane tactics – using its own civilians, women and children as human shields in order to cause Arab kids’ deaths and then parade with them on global TV cameras. sources

(3) – Arab Muslim TV shows graphic images of ‘dead Arab kids’, to enrage and inflame their “youths”.

(4) – An expolsion of Islamofascism’s hatred and call for genocide on (all) Jews in wordlwide demonstrations under the flag of “free Palestine”. sources

On Dec. 27, Israel began defensive operations to dismantle Iran-backed Hamas’s terrorist infrastructure in Gaza and stop the terrorist group from its 8-years-long campaign of attacking Israeli civilians with 10,000 rockets, missiles and mortars.

Despite Hamas’s unrelenting rocket attacks, Israel continues to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, warning the civilian population to stay clear of terrorist sites. Said Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, “Israel has made it clear that we are fighting against terrorism, not the Gazan residents, and the extremists are the ones who are taking advantage of the concern of the humanitarian organizations and the international community as a means of pressuring Israel.”

Hamas Explains Use of Civilians as Human Shields

By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

“We desire death as you desire life.”

The UN announcement that 51 civilians have died in the conflict in Gaza must be understood in the context of Hamas’s declared ideology to use civilians as human shields for Hamas fighters. Indeed, Hamas continues to emphasize and promote the religious ideology that death for Allah is an ideal to be actively pursued.

The goal is to convince Palestinians, including women and children, not to fear death but even to face it at the front to protect Hamas fighters. Hamas’s placement of its military installations and fighters among civilians reflects this ideology, and has led to these 51 deaths.

A Hamas representative in the PA legislative council this year expressed pride in the fact that women and children are used as human shields in fighting Israel. He described it as part of a “death industry” at which Palestinians excel, and explained that the Palestinians “desire death” with the same intensity that Israelis “desire life.”

The following is the full text of the comments by Hamas representative Fathi Hamad: “For the Palestinian people death became an industry, at which women excel and so do all people on this land: the elderly excel, the Jihad fighters excel, and the children excel. Accordingly [Palestinians] created a human shield of women, children, the elderly and the Jihad fighters against the Zionist bombing machine, as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: We desire death as you desire life.”

But it isn’t only Israelis whose fundamental human rights Hamas is violating. It is those of the Palestinian population about whose welfare Hamas professes to care.
In direct contravention of international law, Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields, utilizing homes, schools and community centers as launching pads, content in the knowledge that if innocent Palestinian civilians are caught in the cross-fire, it will be Israel that is criticized. This amounts to a sort of Daily Double of human rights violations: the use of innocent Palestinians as human shields for the infliction of violence upon innocent Israelis.

NETANYAHU: This humanitarian crisis is the direct result of the Hamas tactic of firing at our civilians and hiding behind their civilians, and it’s something that we cannot tolerate. No nation would tolerate 6,000 rockets fired on its cities, and Israel finally decided to take action.We have to make sure that we don’t just have a cease-fire, but that this criminal rocketing of our cities is not resumed a few months from now. Because that’s exactly what happened a few months ago. They were firing rockets at us, the Hamas. We had a cease-fire. They used the cease-fire to get further range — longer-range rockets, which they have now fired at Beersheba and Ashdod and into the southern suburbs of Tel Aviv. So obviously, we have to remove the threat, not just stop the firing. And that’s what Israel is engaged in right now.

Yes, free Gaza — from terrorist tyranny
By REDA MANSOUR
Wednesday, January 07, 2009
Some of the Arab and Muslim demonstrators who recently came to our offices were holding signs that said “Free Gaza.” Many Israelis would raise that same sign, me included, but for different reasons. People tend to forget that as of August 2005, Israel has not been in Gaza, and that the Gazans have been under Hamas control since June 2007. Indeed, Gaza needs to be freed from many different extremist forces.
Gaza should be freed from Hamas, a terrorist organization that seized the strip by force. Since the takeover, Hamas has run Gaza’s economy into the ground and now nearly half of the work force is unemployed. Hamas has built a Taliban-style state in Gaza and introduced many of the Islamic Shari’a laws, institutionalizing the persecution of women and minorities.
Hamas has transformed Gaza from a free territory to a large bunker, a place where rockets are stored under families, schools and places of prayer. Unfortunately, Gazans not only live among this militarization, but are now a tool in Hamas’ aggression. The terrorist organization has developed a strategy of using innocent civilians as human shields. When Israel warns that the houses of Hamas operatives and commanders will be targeted, the terrorists bring in innocent citizens, often by force, in an effort to increase the likelihood of civilian casualties. Hamas’ leaders rely on the strict Israeli moral code, hoping to avoid being attacked or that a strike will allow them to score points in the media by sacrificing their own people, creating what looks like acts of Israeli military aggression.
Gaza should be freed from the intervention of Iran, a state that openly admits to financing Hamas. Iran is also helping Palestinian terror organizations with training, intelligence and equipment. Some of this “aid” is channeled through Hezbollah in Lebanon — yet another Iranian proxy organization. Hezbollah and Iran use the Gazans to maintain regional political relevance in their empty agenda against Israel.
Gaza should be freed from some of the Arab satellite channels like Al-Jazeera. These television stations engage in the direct incitement of the Arab and Muslim world. Everything is acceptable in their eyes to raise their ratings: including long shots of bodies and injuries. Some of these channels do not dismiss any editing trick and consider propaganda as a normal part of their news reporting.
As far as Israel is concerned, Gaza is free and it is the decision of its inhabitants what the area’s destiny will be. They can continue to buy into the self-defeating promises of terrorist organizations and extremist ideologies. Even worse, they can continue to let these organizations use them as human shields and demolish their hopes and futures.
Gazans can only truly be free by declaring Gaza a terror-free zone. The people of Gaza have many resources in their hands to achieve success. Gaza could use its beautiful Mediterranean coast to attract Israeli and Egyptian tourists. It can renew the flower and fruit exports to Europe that Israel left behind. The airport that was built there can be reopened. The seaport that is planned and even the natural gas fields in its waters could be built.
The people of this region need to make the decision that Gaza will become a model of peace and stability and hopefully, the beginning of the two-state solution: Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace.

Hamas is Responsible
Michael J. Totten – 01.12.2009 – 11:24 AM
Steven Erlanger wrote a revealing article in the New York Times ( http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/world/middleeast/11hamas.html?ref=world ) about the methods of urban warfare used by the Israel Defense Forces and Hamas in Gaza. He shows that Hamas is committing war crimes against both Israelis and Palestinians, and that Hamas knows better than most that Israelis take great care to avoid harming civilians despite propaganda saying otherwise.

“Unwilling to take Israel’s bait and come into the open,” he wrote, “Hamas militants are fighting in civilian clothes; even the police have been ordered to take off their uniforms.”

Hamas is in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions here, but that’s nothing new. Hamas never agreed to uphold the Conventions in the first place. Its raison d’être is the destruction of an entire country, after all. The laws and ethics of civilized warfare are anathema to groups like Hamas.

Nevertheless, everyone should be familiar with what the Geneva Conventions actually say. The Society of Professional Journalists provides a good summary explanation ( http://www.spj.org/gc-intro.asp ) that most of my colleagues should know well by now:

The Geneva Conventions and supplementary protocols make a distinction between combatants and civilians. The two groups must be treated differently by the warring sides and, therefore, combatants must be clearly distinguishable from civilians… In order for the distinction between combatants and civilians to be clear, combatants must wear uniforms and carry their weapons openly during military operations and during preparation for them… Combatants who deliberately violate the rules about maintaining a clear separation between combatant and noncombatant groups and thus endanger the civilian population are no longer protected by the Geneva Convention.

These protocols have been carefully crafted by leaders of civilized nations and are not to be lightly dismissed. It may be convenient to blame the Israelis when civilians are killed by their air strikes in Gaza, but the Geneva Conventions clearly state that Hamas fighters endangered those civilians by disguising themselves.

Not only do Israelis have a harder time figuring out who is a target and who needs protection, we all have a harder time identifying those who have already been wounded and killed. Hamas says mostly civilians have been wounded and killed in the fighting in Gaza, but its fighters look just like everyone else. They can trot out the bodies of two dead terrorists in front of the cameras and say they’re civilians, thus easily fooling just about anyone. The number of civilian casualties, therefore, appears much higher than it really is. But even if that weren’t the case, far more civilians are being killed in this war because Hamas is fighting dirty.

Israelis, in the meantime, go far out of their way to avoid harming the civilians of Gaza. They have even developed weapons for precisely this purpose.

“A new Israeli weapon,” Erlanger writes, “is tailored to the Hamas tactic of asking civilians to stand on the roofs of buildings so Israeli pilots will not bomb. The Israelis are countering with a missile designed, paradoxically, not to explode. They aim the missiles at empty areas of the roofs to frighten residents into leaving the buildings, a tactic called ‘a knock on the roof’.”

If Israelis were targeting civilians, as Hamas and hysterical critics like to claim, it ought to go without saying that they would never have developed a “weapon” that scatters civilians away for their own protection.

Activists, professors, journalists, bloggers, and other uninformed individuals may believe Israelis kill civilians either negligently or on purpose, but even Hamas knows that’s a lie. Otherwise, Hamas would not ask “civilians to stand on the roofs of buildings so Israeli pilots will not bomb,” as Erlanger reports.

Hamas knows the truth but uses its lie as a weapon. And it works. Millions all over the world believe Israel massacres civilians in Gaza and that claims to the contrary from the military are disinformation and smokescreen.

Israelis, by contrast, don’t use human shields to deter Palestinian rocket attacks. The very idea is absurd. Hamas aims at civilians on purpose, as much as it can aim its crude rockets. A congregation of Israeli human shields would only make a bulls-eye at which Hamas could aim.

In any case, the use of human shields is strictly prohibited. The Law of Armed Conflict ( http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/wars/a/loac.htm ) is absolutely clear on this point. It “requires defenders to separate military objects from civilian objects to the maximum extent feasible. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to locate a hospital or POW camp next to an ammunition factory.”

It is likewise inappropriate to place civilians atop buildings that are known to be targets. Israeli pilots should not have to warn these people with “knocks on the roof.”

Hamas routinely turns civilian buildings into military assets and targets. “Weapons are hidden in mosques,” Erlanger reports, “schoolyards and civilian houses, and the leadership’s war room is a bunker beneath Gaza’s largest hospital, Israeli intelligence officials say.” Ynet also reports that Israeli soldiers found a school and even a zoo rigged to explode ( http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3654407,00.html ) . You can see a video of that booby-trapped school here ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHhs9ihSmbU&eurl=http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs_display?sub=70776349&site=17128423 ) on YouTube.

Hamas leaders couldn’t endanger more Palestinians if they tried.

“Israeli press officers call the tactics of Hamas cynical, illegal and inhumane,” Erlanger writes. “[E]ven Israel’s critics agree that Hamas’s regular use of rockets to fire at civilians in Israel, and its use of civilians as shields in Gaza, are also violations of the rules of war.”

He’s right that Israel’s fair-minded critics acknowledge Hamas is an army of war criminals. But few seem bothered by the fact that Hamas violates the laws and ethics of war as a matter of course. Perhaps that’s because few expect any better from a violent fascist regime that aspires to genocide ( http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm ) . But the record should show, even so, that Hamas is morally, ethically, and legally responsible for civilian deaths in Gaza as well as in Israel

The Hamas Death Factory

January 17, 2009
By Ari Bussel

The Hamas Death Factory

The focus of this article is on Hamas. Operation Cast Lead would not have been needed, and indeed can be stopped immediately, if Hamas, a terror organization that calls in its Charter to the destruction of the Jewish State, were to stop its efforts to attain this goal.

Hamas has turned Gaza into a Factory of Death. I highlight below some of the Factory’s main characteristics.

The war that rages on has its front lines in Argentina and UK,India and USA, China and Venezuela, Russia and Egypt. It is a war in the area of public opinion, and we are all soldiers in the Public Diplomacy Front.

We are all part – and are likely victims – in a greater struggle between Sunni and Shiite Islam to achieve world domination. Therefore, we need to understand the threat. Only then will we be able to search and find the wisdom and courage with which to fight, with which to prevail as a victor.

The 20th Day, a Recap and an Update

January 15th,2009. Day 20 of Operation “Cast Lead,” Israel’s attempt at stopping the firing of rockets from Gaza to Israeli cities and preventing further armament of Hamas in Gaza.

To achieve these goals, the manufacturing infrastructure in Gaza had to be destroyed and the very intensive smuggling operation from Egypt into Gaza had to be stopped. The enormous caches of advanced rockets (improved Grad2 and others) must also be destroyed. They have a very long shelf life and will eventually be used against Israel.

There is yet another unstated goal: A 22 year old soldier has been held by Hamas in Gaza after being kidnapped from Israel on6/25/2006. Gilad Shalit is in enemy’s hands for 930 days. He is afforded no visitation rights. The International Red Cross has not been allowed to see him. Gilad is the human face of Israel’s promise to its mothers and fathers that their sons and daughters will always come back home –that Israel will do everything possible to uphold this promise.

Operation Cast Lead rages on in Gaza. 9AM in Israel and already more than ten rockets and mortars were fired from Gaza toward Israeli cities. 11 soldiers were wounded during the night’s operations during which 35 armed gunmen were hit, mostly in aerial attacks directed by ground forces.Israel’s Air Force (IAF) attacked approximately 70 terrorist sites, including a mosque in Rafah used to stockpile rockets and served as an assembly area for senior operatives involved in launching rockets; 14 cells of armed gunmen; 14 sites used to launch rockets and mortars at Israeli communities and cities; five weapon storage facilities located in, and one tunnel located under, houses of Hamas operatives.

A Real War

This is war, although not by name (since Gaza is not a country andHamas is a terrorist operation). People die, needlessly. “Needlessly” since the war can be stopped as soon as Hamas stops firing and ends its race for rearmament. There is a third unstated pre-condition: Hamas needs to change it Charter that calls for the destruction of the Jewish State. But Hamas does not want to stop.

Hamas also could have released Gilad Shalit any any point during the last 930 days or during the period of regrouping (Tahadia) that preceded Operation Cast Lead, but it chose not to do so.

Instead, Hamas uses the 22 year old Israeli soldier in the most cynical way, teasing Israel constantly. Now he is alive, now he is no longer safe. Now we do not hear or see him, next who knows what may be. Hamas’s fellow Iranian crony in the region, Hizbollah, used Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, may they rest in peace, in a similar manner, finally trading in their body parts to force Israel to do the unthinkable – releasing hundreds of terrorists, including one who for the pure barbaric joy of the act, smashed the skull of a four year old girl – just because she was Jewish, just because she was Israeli, JUST BECAUSE THERE IS ISRAEL.

The Hamas Death Factory

Hamas does not only trade in the hope of parents to see their 22 year old son back safely, it also exhumes bodies from recently dug graves to parade them for hours at a time on Al Jazeera “news” network and on the internet as “fresh casualties.” Hamas also constantly manufactures fresh dead bodies. This it does on both sides of the border – firing rockets and mortar shells toward Israel to kill and maim as many people as possible,and firing from within high rise buildings, schools, hospitals and mosques,making sure to surround itself with civilians, so even with the utmost effort and consideration by Israel, they become casualties of war.

Hamas turned Gaza into a very sophisticated manufacturing facility of death. Every step is booby trapped, from buildings to chicken feed buckets. Tunnels are dug underneath to trap and kidnap soldiers as wellas to provide hiding and storage spaces. Sniper posts were erected near mosques. Ammunition and weaponry caches are stored in multi-story residential buildings. More than a million people act as a cover, an invisible protection for this Death Factory.

Hamas has taken the freedom away from the Gazans. It uses the Gazans who elected it into power as human shields whose life is to serve two purposes – to add to the fight against Israel in the front of public opinion and to ensure that their death is highlighted, paraded and used to brainwash tens of millions of new fighters and haters of Jews, Israel and the West. Hamas thus plays a major role in the advance of radical Islam toward global domination.

Guilty by Association

A Manufacturing Facility of Death, a trap both as a physic allocation (step through a door, the house will explode; come close to a fuel depot, the whole village will be incinerated; fire at a building from which rockets were launched and secondary explosions of ammunition stored will cause phosphorus burns or inflict even more pain and death) and as a PR stunt (shoot from the UN building or from the building where the Foreign Press is reporting,and the whole world will be angry at Israel).

This is not a video game. It is a real life (and death) situation in which the points add in the speed of light in favor of the main player: HAMAS.

Hamas’s task is very easy: launch at Israel – you win. Sacrifice your people – you win. Improve the lives of your people? Hamas came into power since it-much like Hizbollah in the north-provided much needed social services, a support network to the local population. Yet,its schools and mosques served as indoctrination points, and the true purpose surfaced.

In the Manufacturing Facility of Death, there is no real interest to improve the lives of the Gazans. With the billions already spent and the billions now committed to the Gazans, one should ask oneself – why is Gaza not the next Cannes-along-the-Mediterranean? Why is there no manufacturing (not of explosives and booby-traps and other death-related instruments),agriculture and science and technology?

Why are there still refugee camps with little if any infrastructure? What has the UN done over the past many decades when the palestinian refugees are its sole focus and reason for existence? Why has the Arab world not insisted on improving the lives of their fellow brethren theGazans and allowed instead the continued smuggling operation – stockpiles of advanced weaponry, trained terrorists, Iranian experts in warfare – into Gaza?

The answer must be that the Arab world, like Europe, is guilty-by-association.

Hamas uses people as shields
Updated: 01/06/2009 06:53:52 AM EST
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has heated up again. A cease-fire agreement has collapsed and Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization, immediately renewed its rocket attacks from Gaza into Israeli civilian areas.
Hamas does not attack military targets. They openly declare their intent to kill civilians, including women and children.
These rocket attacks have gone on for years and have steadily increased in intensity. The range of these weapons has increased as well, bringing more civilian areas in Israel under attack, with an increase in danger to civilians.
There is no warning for these attacks, no air-raid sirens, just the sudden explosion of a rocket missile in your neighborhood with the possibility of death and destruction.
During the several years that these rocket attacks have continued, never has anyone raised a voice condemning these attacks, which are knowingly directed against civilians.
Hamas deliberately sets its rocket launchers and mortars in densely populated areas using their own people as human shields against retaliation.
Now that Israel is striking back, the Israelis are being condemned for causing civilian casualties. Where were these voices during the years that Hamas was deliberately and admittedly killing Israeli civilians? Where were these voices when Hamas implemented its policy of using its own people as human shields against retaliation?
Two facts become obvious:
Israel values the lives of its citizens and is now doing and will continue doing what is necessary to protect its citizens.
Hamas views its own people as expendable pawns and willingly and knowingly places them in danger in order to gain a propaganda victory against Israel.

http://www.newstimes.com/ci_11376001

Hamas at fault, not Israelis
Sir:It amazes me that every time Israel makes a move to protect its citizens and sovereignty, bleeding hearts at the CBC continue to pester Israel over its alleged unbalanced response.
Even when the ceasefire was signed, Hamas militants fire rockets haphazardly into Israel.
Hit a military compound, that’s nice. Hit a school or hospital, equally nice.
This is terrorism on a daily basis.
To feel sorry for the Palestinian people is a stretch considering they voted for Hamas, knowing the blow-back they would receive not only from their immediate neighbours but from most western powers as well.
As a matter of fact, Palestinians should be thankful that Israel still considers its targets as carefully as it does and not use the laissez faire targeting of Hamas.
The reason why there are civilian casualties at all is again due to the cowardice of the militants using civilians as human shields.
I would certainly hope that those at the liberal CBC that think Israel should open its borders to incoming Palestinian workers when such a threat exists for suicide bombers never end up with the job of minister for public safety in this country.
Hard hats and bomb shelters for all!

Hamas exploits public opinion
Newstimes Updated: 01/06/2009 07:23:35 PM EST
It is time to support Israel in her time of need. After living in a war zone with relentless rockets firing on innocent citizens even in a “cease-fire” agreement with Hamas, Israel has no choice but to destroy the terrorists who have one goal and that is to destroy Israel.
If the press would comment on Hamas’ tactics of using women and children as human shields, of firing rockets from residential neighborhoods, of dressing Hamas officials in medical uniforms in hospitals, the tragic deaths of innocent Palestinians may be understood.
Israel has no choice but to destroy the point of rocket fire. If it comes from a mosque, a hospital, a home, a school, it is designed that way by the terrorists to hurt Israel.
They have no regard for their citizens and use them as propaganda tools to affect world opinion.
It would be helpful if the press would mention the tactics at the same time as they mention the tragic deaths of innocent bystanders. It is all calculated by Hamas and unfortunately not everyone is aware of their depth of cruelty.
Our tradition teaches us, “He who saves a single life, it is as if he saved an entire world.” Israel reveres life and the terrorists revere death. It is unfortunate and tragic.
When the terrorists will show the same passion for peace as they do for death and hatred, there will be peace.

http://www.newstimes.com/ci_11387960

We have counseled our ally Israel to be very cautious about protecting innocents, and I do think that the Israelis take great care to do so. I saw the reports about the school. I don’t have any information about that. I think that we should not jump to conclusions, and we should wait to find out what the evidence says. What we do know is that Hamas often hides amongst innocents, and uses innocent people, including children, as human shields.

The problems that the civilians are facing in Gaza are a function of how Hamas operates in a very densely populated area, with Hamas deliberately — deliberately — melding into the population.

United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Chief John Holmes blasted Hamas Tuesday for its “cynical” use of civilian facilities during recent hostilities in the Gaza Strip.
“The reckless and cynical use of civilian installations by Hamas and indiscriminate firing of rockets against civilian populations are clear violations of international humanitarian law,” Holmes told the UN Security Council.

ISRAEL SEEKS TO MINIMIZE PALESTINIAN CIVILIAN CASUALTIES

http://www.aipac.org/The_Issues/index_19827.asp

…Of course nobody in their right mind enjoys the idea of civilians being collateral damage, but these same people screaming about Israel’s attacks are the very same ones who use their own populace as human shields and hide their munitions in mosques and private homes and the same people who strap bombs onto their boys, their women and their young men, having no qualms about doing that.

I’m sorry, but I’m more willing to look the other way at this Israeli campaign until Palestinians start valuing the lives of other peoples as much as they scream for other people. When you have large numbers of Hamas operatives hiding in hospitals and some posing as medical staff, when you have some Hamas members also hiding in mosques and some of those mosques have been turned into operational headquarters, then the Palestinian people, supporting Hamas as they do, are hardly victims.

In numerous cases prior to an Israeli airstrike, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) notified civilians in the area of the impending attack, despite this hampering military operations. How does Hamas respond? Hamas takes advantage of the IAF’s warnings and places civilians on the roofs of the targeted buildings in order to use human shields to either prevent the air strikes or cause civilian deaths which they can use as a propaganda tool.

Iraeli air and naval forces have had to attack some 20 Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip on New Years Eve, including five smuggling tunnels along the ‘Philadelphi Route’ used by Hamas to smuggle arms and terrorists in and out of Gaza, a weapons manufacturing and storage facility in central Gaza, a command center of Hamas’ police force in Rafah, and a Hamas coastal base on the shore adjacent to Gaza City.

Evidence of Hamas Use of Human Shields

Gaza Needs A Regime Change
by Gary Bauer
01/09/2009
The Islamists, who have stated clearly and repeatedly that they value death as much as the West values life, have no qualms about killing their own people for the sake of propaganda. That is why they send women, children and even persons with disabilities out to do their bidding as homicide bombers.
It is fair to say that the Israeli military values the lives of Palestinians more than Hamas does, a fact that is evident by Israel’s routinely warning Palestinians before striking civilian areas where terrorists are hiding or stashing weapons.
Regime change is a prerequisite to peace in Gaza. While the Hamas leadership was democratically elected, not all democratically-elected leaders (see: Hitler, Adolf) are legitimate. Hamas’s mission is to wipe Israel off the map, and it has done nothing to show it is willing to deviate from that goal.

“The humanitarian coordinator would like to clarify that the shelling, and all of the fatalities, took place outside rather than inside the school,” the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in its latest weekly update on the situation in Gaza.

“It stressed that its initial report of the January 6 incident correctly stated that Israeli shells hit outside the school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA, but that it later referred to “the shelling of the UNRWA school in Jabaliya.”

“The Israeli military initially said its forces had responded to hostile fire from within the UN school but later reportedly retracted that statement.

JENINITIS

Jeninitis is Islamic Palestinian Pallywood’s syndrome of lying, 1) inflating numbers of casualties, collateral by-standers in Israel’s anti terrorists operation (heck, they even had the audacity to add dead bodies dug out of graves),

2) Lying about the authentic percentage of combatants vs non-combatants, all as part of its staged drama hype, their strategy is, first lie, after the anti Israel bigoted tarnishing bombarding propaganda is done, whatever real facts surface later on, don’t matter, as the damage to Israel is already done.

In Jenin 2002, the Arab Palestinians have been exposed as inflating the numbers of casualties on Israel’s operation, Saeb Erekat initially claimed on CNN that there were more than 500 dead, at the end it turned out that there were no more than (around) 50, mostly combatants.

When confronted on CNN on the ‘numbers’, he stuttered, spun, and changed subject.

So was the case in Dec. – Jan. 2009, at operation ‘Cast Lead’ against Palestinian Islamic terrorists Hamas (who openly seeks annihilation of all Jews in the area) rockets targeting of Israeli southern zone, where about a Million civilians were under their range, fear of terror, and using Arab civilians to mingle with them and as shields to cause as many civilian casualties, the world TV have been broadcasting constantly from Jihadists’

Hamas hospitals with invented exaggerated numbers up to 1,200 and up.

Later on it turned out that no more than 500-600 have died, and of course, 90% were Hamas terror combatants.

Point is, that a death cult “people” that are willing to murder (directly or indirectly) its own civilians for the sake of gaining sympathy to its fake victimhood, there is never a shred of logic to take seriously anything coming from their “source”, unless it’s the part when they declare they want to ‘kill you’.

IDF: Only 250 of Gaza fatalities were civilians

01.26.09
A continuing IDF investigation into the number of civilian
Palestinian casualties during the Israeli offensive in Gaza indicated that only
250 of the fatalities were civilians.
The military estimates that between
1,100 and 1,200 people were killed during the offensive. Some 700 of are
believed to be militants and most are believed to be Hamas operatives.
The
IDF is still trying to ascertain the identity of the remaining fatalities, but
security sources said many would probably turn out to be militants as well.
“Hamas is familiar with the numbers and is doing everything it can to conceal
them,” said an IDF source.

IDF: Hamas forced us to act in civilian areas

Army estimates 500 gunmen killed in Gaza fighting, says Hamas used
ambulances to transport its gunmen; Iran looking to replenish Hamas’ depleted
arsenal

Hanan Greenberg Published: 01.19.09, 20:48 / Israel News

Addressing the severe damage caused to civilian infrastructure in Gaza
during Operation Cast Lead, army officials said Monday forces had no other
choice but to act in population hubs as Hamas gunmen were operating out of
neighborhoods and private homes.

The IDF said thousands of phone calls were placed and an even greater
number of pamphlets were distributed in Gaza to warn its civilians of planned
attacks. TV broadcasts were also interrupted during the campaign toward this
end, they added.

The army said that in addition to operating out of civilian structures and
using civilians as human shields, Hamas also used ambulances that were
dispatched to areas that had been bombarded to transport its gunmen.

Israel estimates that 500 Hamas gunmen were killed in the fighting, but is
also taking into account that in some cases it was difficult to differentiate
between gunmen and civilians, as some terrorists wore plain clothes when they
were unarmed. According to the army, the gunmen were able to travel unarmed as
numerous structures throughout the Strip served as weapons caches. Therefore,
the IDF said, some of those were counted as civilian casualties were actually
gunmen.

As for Egypt’s involvement in the efforts to maintain the ceasefire,
Israeli officials said they have identified greater willingness among
authorities in Cairo to work toward preventing the smuggling of arms into Gaza
along the Philadelphi Route.

Meanwhile, Iran, Hamas’ main sponsor, is also drawing its lessons from the
war in Gaza. Despite congratulating the Islamist group on its “victory”, during
the fighting Tehran feared that Israel would topple Hamas’ regime in the coastal
enclave. The Islamist Republic will now look to embolden Hamas, especially with
regards to its defensive capabilities, this after Palestinian forces that were
supposed to block Israel’s ground incursion failed miserably.

Iran and Hamas are also considering ways to replenish the Islamist group’s
depleted arsenal in Gaza, particularly in light of the destruction of an
estimated 80%the smuggling tunnels situated along the Egypt-Gaza border by the
Israeli Air Force. Terror leaders in Gaza believe they will be able to dig up
new tunnels and resume the smuggling…

Did Israel Target Gaza’s Civilian Population?
Rachel Neuwirth February
13, 2009… (ridiculous) accused Israel of having
committed “war crimes” in its recent “assault” on Gaza, and of waging war
indiscriminately on its civilian population. Israel is said to have damaged
schools, hospitals, ambulances and mosques and to have inflicted an immense
number of deaths and injuries on innocent civilians. The same accusations have
been hurled at Israel by the United Nations, by many of the world´s governments,
and by numerous pseudo-do-gooder “Non-governmental organizations” (or “NGOs”),
such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. The International Criminal
Court in the Hague is considering whether to file war crimes charges against
Israeli military and political leaders, and the nations of the European
Community are debating amongst themselves whether to support such a move.[1]

But when we probe into the matter a little deeper by looking at the reports
of journalists who did some independent investigating, and who interviewed Gaza
civilians who agreed to talk with them (anonymously or using nicknames, for fear
of Hamas reprisals), we get a completely different picture: Israel took great
care to avoid hurting innocent people, while Hamas deliberately tried to cause
as many casualties among the Gazan people as possible.

Let´s go through some of the biggest media lies one by one, and then expose
the truth.

The Lie: Israel waged war on Gaza´s civilian population; it deliberately
killed innocent civilians.

The truth: Israel exerted more care than any other country in history to
avoid inflicting casualties on civilians, even at considerable cost to the
effectiveness of its military operations.

Israel´s Minister of Welfare and Social Services Isaac Herzog, who is
coordinating Israel´s humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza, has pointed out that
“[The IDF] made 250,000 phone calls], it has sent text messages and delivered
leaflets by air. It has [made] broadcasts on television and on radio and asked
people to move away. It did whatever it could to prevent human suffering[2].”

250,000 phone calls? That is virtually every single individual household in
Gaza! (total population 1.4 million, with many large families). There is no
precedent in history for an army calling up each individual household in enemy
territory to warn them in advance to take shelter from bombing or shelling by
the army. The Israelis even went so far as to call up leading terrorists 45
minutes in advance of bombing their houses, which were used for storing weapons
and ammunition and for concealing terrorist tunnels and bunkers in their
basements, in order to give the terrorists and their innocent families time to
escape unharmed.

When Israeli planes tracked trucks carrying weapons and ammunition to
Hamas, they sometimes deflected the missiles in mid-flight, causing them to fall
harmlessly in open spaces, if the trucks happened to pass by civilians on a
crowded street. In deflecting their own missiles by remote control, the Israeli
pilots and ground controllers passed up the opportunity to destroy enemy weapons
and ammunition, solely in order to protect Arab civilians. These humanitarian
measures by the Israeli forces have been abundantly documented by “live” video
cameras, and the resulting video records have been broadcast by the IDF on
YouTube.[3]

These unprecedented humanitarian precautions in time of full-scale war must
have enabled thousands of terrorists to escape from Israeli bombing and shelling
attacks by forewarning them. Israel was willing to undermine the effectiveness
of its anti-terrorist operation solely in order to save the lives of “innocent”
(and in some cases not-so-innocent) civilians. No other army — not the
Americans, nor the British, nor French or much the less the Russian ,Chinese,
Japanese or German armies — has ever exercised even comparable restraint and
care to protect noncombatants on the “enemy” side of a war zone as the Israel
Defense Forces routinely does.[4]

The Lie: Israel killed six hundred or more civilians in Gaza. More than
half of those killed by Israel were innocent civilians.

If Israel took such extraordinary measures to protect noncombatants, why
then, you will surely ask, were so many civilians killed or injured during
Israel´s “Operation Cast Lead” counter-terrorism operation? One part of the
answer is that relatively few civilians actually were killed or injured. Lorenzo
Cremonesi, a correspondent reporting from Gaza for the Italian “newspaper of
record” Corriere della Serra, writes:

there is [a] fact coming to light ever more obviously, visiting the
hospitals, clinics and families of the victims of Israeli fire: In reality their
numbers appear much lower than 1300 dead and another 5000 injured, as reported
by the men of Hamas and repeated by the UN officials and the local Red Cross.
“The dead can´t be more than 500 or 600. There are many youths between 17 and
23, recruited by Hamas, who sent them quite literally to the slaughter.” Said
the doctor from the Shifah hospital who under no circumstances wanted to be
quoted for he risked his life.

This data has been confirmed by [a] local journalist. “We already pointed
this out to the heads of Hamas. Why do they insist on inflating the number of
victims? It´s strange on the other hand that the NGOs, also the western ones,
report them without any verification. In the end the truth may come to light. It
could be like Jenin in 2002. Initially we spoke about 1500 dead. Then it came
out that there were only 54, of whom at least 45 were militants who died in
battle. “

It´s sufficient to visit a few hospitals to understand that the numbers
don´t add up. There are many empty beds in the European Hospital in Rafah, one
of the [hospitals] that should be most involved with the victims of the Israeli
“war of the tunnels.” The same goes for the “Nasser” of Khan Yunis. Only 5 out
of the 150 beds in the private hospital of Al-Amal are occupied.[5]

Analysts who regularly monitor the Palestinian Arab media have come upon
much information that corroborates Cremonesi´s report. These media monitors have
discovered that over 75% of the individuals whom the Arab media have identified
as having been killed in the fighting were males between the ages of 15 and
50—the ages, and gender, of the overwhelming majority of Hamas and other
Palestinian fighters. They have also found that the names of many Palestinians
who turn up on lists of “civilians” killed in the Gaza war published by
Palestinian “human rights” organizations are identified as Hamas fighters by
other Palestinian news publications. The “human rights” organizations also
omitted from its casualty reports the names of Hamas fighters who are known from
other sources to have been killed in the fighting. This misreporting and
selective reporting result in a sizable overstatement of the percentage of
civilians killed in the fighting. Yet much of the news media relies on these
organizations, such as the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), for their
data on civilian casualties in Gaza.[6]

The second part of our answer to the question, “why were Gazan civilians
killed or injured during Israel´s Gaza operation?” is that Hamas deliberately
forced its “own” Gazan civilians to serve as hostages and “human shields,”
behind which the terrorists conducted their assault. Hamas regularly sent its
troops to occupy schools, hospitals, mosques and office buildings, their grounds
and adjacent streets, as well as many private Palestinian houses and business,
and used them to fire at Israeli soldiers and to launch rockets against Israeli
civilians. The Hamas men used mosques as weapons and ammunition storage
facilities, and fired anti-aircraft guns from them The Israelis have even caught
on camera, and have subsequently broadcast on YouTube, videos of Hamas fighters
launching rockets and mortars from the courtyards of schools, or streets
directly adjoining them [8] On at least one occasion, Hamas operatives even
launched a rocket from a building used by foreign journalists; a reporter from
an Arab television and radio station reported on the incident “live” as she
viewed the rocket launching from her office window, in a bizarre sequence that
has subsequently been broadcast in a YouTube video![7] Hamas gunmen hijacked
ambulances, and sometimes even fired at Israeli soldiers from them.

These Hamas ´tactics” put Israeli soldiers in the invidious position of
having either to allow the Hamas terrorists to keep firing at them and/or at the
Israeli civilian population,; or to return fire, and risking killing or injuring
civilians. Israel sometimes has had no choice but to permit its soldiers to
return fire in self-defense. This return of fire has sometimes resulted in
civilian casualties and/or damage to civilian buildings; but in view of Hamas´
of use of Arab civilians as human shields, blaming Israel for these casualties
and calling them Israeli “war crimes,” seems to us almost as vicious and unjust
as the actual war crimes perpetrated by Hamas. Apropos this situation, Cremonesi
reports:

“Get away! Get away from here! Do you want the Israelis to kill everyone?
Do you want our children to die under the bombs? Take your missiles and weapons
away,” the inhabitants of the Gaza strip yelled at the Hamas militants and their
allies in Islamic Jihad. The more courageous were organized and blocked the
entrances to their courtyards and locked the doors to their buildings,
barricading quickly and furiously the stairs to the highest rooftops.

But for all of that the guerrillas didn´t listen to anyone. “Traitors,
collaborators with Israel, spies of Fatah, cowards! The soldiers of the holy war
will punish you. And in any case you will all die, like us. Fighting the Zionist
Jews we are all destined for paradise. Do you not wish to die with us?” This is
what they yelled furiously as they broke down doors and windows, hiding
themselves on high floors, gardens, using ambulances and barricading themselves
near the hospitals, schools and buildings of the UN.

In extreme cases the [Hamas militants] shot those who sought to block them
from their streets and houses to save their own families, or they beat them
savagely. “The Hamas Militants looked for good places to provoke the Israelis.
They were usually youths, 16 or 17 years old, armed with submachine guns. They
couldn´t do anything against a tank or jet. They knew they were much weaker. But
they wanted the [Israelis] to shoot at the [the civilians´] houses so they could
accuse them of more war crimes” asserted Abu Issa, 42, resident of the Tel Awa
neighborhood.[9]

Another Gaza civilian, calling herself Umm Abdallah, told Mr.Cremonesi that

“Practically all of the tallest buildings in Gaza that were hit by Israeli
bombs, like the Dogmoush, Andalous, Jawarah, Siussi, and many others, had rocket
launching pads on their roofs, or were observation decks for the Hamas. They had
also put them near the big UN warehouse, which went up in flames. The same goes
for the villages in the valley along the border that were more devastated by the
mad fury and punishment of the Zionist[10].”

A third part of the answer is that the Hamas terrorists may have directly
caused some of the civilian casualties themselves. Numerous Gaza residents and
foreign reporters confirm that Hamas took the occasion of Israel´s Gaza
operation to kill Palestinians whom it claimed were collaborators with Israel.
Many, although not all of these alleged collaborators were actually members of
the rival Palestinian terrorist group Fatah, with whom Hamas has long been at
loggerheads.[11]

We have already seen the Corriere della Serra report that Hamas sometimes
killed Gazan civilians who tried to refuse to allow themselves and their
families to be used as human shields, declaring them to be “collaborators”
worthy of death. Gazan ambulance drivers told a reporter for the Sydney Morning
Herald ( Australia ) of similar experiences with Hamas gunmen: these sometimes
attempted to hijack ambulances for their own use, and threatened the drivers
with their guns if they resisted surrendering them.[12] While the particular
ambulance drivers interviewed by Sydney Morning Herald´s reporter Jack
Koutsoukis survived their ordeal, others may not have been so lucky.

Then there is the question of “work accidents.” The Israel defense and
intelligence forces have documented numerous cases in which explosives that
Hamas was storing or that its operatives were manufacturing exploded
accidentally, inflicting deaths and injuries on nearby civilians. In nearly all
such cases, Hamas first tried to blame Israel for the civilian casualties,
although it sometimes eventually admitted to the truth. How many of the civilian
casualties reported during the Gaza operation were similar “work accidents?”[13]

In addition, when Hamas chose to fight the Israeli counter-terrorist
forces in densely populated urban streets, rather than in open country, as the
Israelis much preferred, Hamas operatives as well as Israeli soldiers fired off
numerous rounds of bullets, mortars and rockets in areas crowded with civilian
residents. As a result, many of the civilian who were killed or wounded in the
fighting are just as likely to have been hit by Hamas gunman as by Israeli
soldiers. [14]

How many civilian deaths and injuries inflicted by Hamas gunmen, one
wonders, found their way into the civilian casualty statistics released by the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), various NGOs, and the media? Yet
the press and the “humanitarian” agencies have attributed all of the civilian
casualties to Israel.

The Lie: Gaza has been utterly devastated and left in ruins by the Israeli
“assault.”

The Truth: The Israelis targeted buildings very carefully and selectively,
aiming at buildings used for military purposes by Hamas, and rarely hitting
other buildings.

While much of the media has claimed that Gaza suffered universal and
complete devastation during Israel´s “Operation Cast Lead,” a few journalists
who were on the scene have admitted that Israel´s air and ground forces in Gaza
were almost incredibly precise and careful in their selection of targets, and
that as little damage as possible was caused to civilian buildings. Tim Butcher,
in a report on the war for London´s Daily Telegraph, wrote that:

One thing was clear. Gaza City 2009 is not Stalingrad 1944. There had been
no carpet bombing of large areas, no firebombing of complete suburbs. Targets
had been selected and then hit, often several times, but almost always with
precision munitions. Buildings nearby had been damaged and there had been some
clear mistakes, like the firebombing of the UN aid headquarters. But, in most
the cases, I saw the primary target had borne the brunt. . .

But, for the most part, I was struck by how cosmetically unchanged Gaza
appeared to be. It has been a tatty, poorly-maintained mess for decades and the
presence of fresh bombsites on streets already lined with broken curbstones and
jerry-built buildings did not make any great difference. And the same can be
said for the mindset of many of Gaza´s 1.5 million residents. Outsiders might
have expected some sort of collective anger at the loss of life, or mass outrage
at the Hamas authorities whose policy of firing rockets against Israel had
brought down the wrath of the Israeli armed forces.[15]

The Lie: Israel has been blockading Gaza for years and denying its people
access to vital humanitarian supplies, creating great suffering among its
population. THIS BLOCKADE WAS INTENSIFIED DURING THE RECENT GAZA WAR.

Of all of the media´s lies about Israel´s relationship to Gaza, this is the
most brazen and absurd. There has never been an Israeli blockade of Gaza. In
reality, Israel has allowed thousands of truckloads of supplies into Gaza in the
past eight years, despite the almost continuous armed attacks on Israeli
civilians and soldiers originating in Gaza. It continued to supply Gaza with
food, medicine and all other needed civilian goods even during the three weeks
of intense fighting during the recent war (December 27, 2008 – January 19,
2009). It has supplied Gaza with electricity, fuel, and water and even money to
pay its officials, (who of course work for Hamas) throughout the long years of
Gazan aggression against Israel. Israel continued to supply all of these things
to Gaza, except the money, even during the three weeks of intense fighting
during its “Operation Cast Lead.” Since the “cease fire” on January 19 of this
year and even at the height of the fighting in January, Israel observed three a
hour truce daily to allow supplies to get through to the Gazan civilian
population (Hamas violated even these brief truces by using them to fire rockets
at Israeli civilians). Israel has continued to send massive humanitarian
supplies to Gaza and to allow the UN relief organizations to do so as well, even
though Hamas has been hijacking the relief shipments for its own fighters—which
is a serious war crime. It has even resumed its money payments to the Hamas
government, despite Hamas´ daily violations of the cease-fire with rocket
attacks on, and terrorist raids into, Israel .[16]

No other nation in history has treated the people of a country that was
committing armed aggression against their own with the kindness, compassion,
humanity and forbearance that Israel has lavished upon the people of Gaza. But
none of Israel´s extraordinary humanitarian efforts have prevented the
international press, United Nations officials and the “NGOs” from portraying
Israel as guilty of monstrous war crimes and crimes against humanity. That they
have done so does not speak well for the “international community,” or indeed
for the human species as a whole.

In subsequent columns we look at a few of the specific atrocity allegations
made against Israel during the Gaza war, and consider the question of who gave
the press so much misinformation about Gaza, and why?

European Jews Attacked in Response to Gaza Conflict
Tuesday, January 06, 2009

Jan. 3: Demonstrators shout anti-Israeli slogans near an overturned car during a protest against Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip, in Paris.
PARIS — Signs are mounting that the conflict in Gaza is starting to spill over into violence in Europe’s towns and cities, with assaults against Jews and arson attacks on
Jewish congregations in France, Sweden and Britain.

In Denmark, a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon of Palestinian parents is alleged to have injured two young Israelis last week, opening fire with a handgun in a shooting that police suspect could be linked to the Gaza crisis.
…In Britain, the Community Security Trust, a Jewish defense group, said it had seen a rise in anti-Semitic incidents since the start of Israel’s offensive against Gaza. The group said it had recorded 20-25 incidents across the country in the past week that it believed were connected with Gaza, including an arson attempt on a synagogue in north London on Sunday.

London police are investigating the attack, in which suspects splashed flammable liquid on the door and set it on fire.

Community Security Trust spokesman Mark Gardner said that in another incident last week a gang of 15-20 youths walked along the main street in Golders Green, a largely Jewish neighborhood in north London, shouting “Jew” and “Free Palestine” at passers-by…

In the Danish shooting, one Israeli man was shot in the arm and another in the leg as they were selling hair care products in a shopping mall. Eli Ruvio, who owns the company that operated the stands, said his employees have been harassed by Muslim youths

…Ruvio recalled an episode Dec. 27 when some of the youths shouted “slaughter all the Jews.”

What is unique is the morally-defective logic that would enable someone to justify a second Holocaust, the mass murder of Jews, on the basis of Israel having defended itself from years of rocket attacks and having killed several hundred murderous terrorists in the process. Making the Middle East free of Jews, Judenfrein, is exactly what Hamas, the group of murderous thugs being cheered on by the demonstrators here, ardently longs for; Hamas’ charter, in fact, expresses as one of its core tenets that Israel should be eliminated, that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”

Sunni Muslims target Shiite Muslims in Pakistan at funeral of assassinated Shiite cleric – dozens killed

Bomb Kills Dozens at Shiite Funeral in Pakistan
Washington Post

KABUL, Feb. 20 — A suicide bomber infiltrated a funeral procession for a slain Shiite Muslim cleric Friday morning in the northwest Pakistani town of Dera Ismail Khan, killing at least 30 people and wounding scores more, police and witnesses said.
It was the latest in a string of deadly terrorist attacks against Shiite mosques and communities in northwest Pakistan, where sectarian antagonism between minority Shiites and majority Sunnis has been inflamed by the growing aggression and ambition of the Sunni extremist Taliban movement.
The suicide bombing, which turned a solemn mourning procession into a horror scene of strewed limbs and bloody clothing, provoked a frenzy of retaliatory violence against local Sunnis, police and witnesses said. Dozens of Sunni-owned houses and shops were burned, and security forces imposed a curfew on the area.
Residents reached by telephone Friday afternoon said the atmosphere was tense and confused, with most people hiding in their homes and large numbers of police and paramilitary forces patrolling the streets.
The bombing, which followed the assassination Thursday of a local Shiite cleric…

Blast in Pakistan Targets Shi’ite Funeral Voice of America
Pakistan, 20 Feb 2009
Pakistani police say that a powerful suicide bomb blast hit the funeral of a slain Shi’ite Muslim leader in a northwestern town on Friday, killing at least 28 people and wounding scores of others.
Police and eyewitnesses say hundreds of Shi’ites were attending the funeral of a local leader in the town of Dera Ismail Khan when a suicide bomber hit the procession.
The powerful explosion is said to have killed most of the people instantly. Hospital officials say that a number of people are critically wounded and the death toll is expected rise. No one claimed responsibility but police and leaders of the minority Shi’ite community suspect Sunni Muslims are behind the violence.
Witnesses say gunfire broke out in the city when outraged members of the Shi’ite community fired on police rushing to the scene. The rioting left several people dead.
A top government official, Syed Mohsin Shah, says that the civil administration has called up troops to bring the situation under control. He says a curfew has been imposed and soldiers have started patrolling the streets to discourage rioting.
Sectarian tensions have been running high in Deral Ismail Khan for many years. But, in recent months, Sunni militants have introduced a new pattern of attacks on rival Shi’ite groups. They first kill a local Shi’ite leader and then a suicide bomber hits the slain man’s funeral procession.

Forced conversion to Islam in Villages in Southern Bulgaria

Bulgaria MP Yanev: Numerous Southern Villages Are Converted to Islam by
Force
3 March 2009, Tuesday

Despite Bulgaria’s
European Union membership, some regions of the country need a second liberation
from Ottoman yoke, the Bulgarian Member of the Parliament (MP), Yane Yanev,
stated, cited by the Bulgarian news agency, BGNES.

Yanev, who is the leader of the opposition “Order, Law, Justice” Party
(RZS) spoke Monday in Blagoevgrad as reported by the local BGNES
correspondent.

The leaders of RZS visited Monday several villages in Southern Bulgaria to
meet with alarmed teachers and parents, who have presented concrete evidence of
the imposed conversion to fundamentalist Islam in the region.

The example of the village of Ribnovo, in the Gurmen municipality, has been
presented as the most striking one. In Ribnovo, the school principal, Feim Issa,
had imposed full dictatorship on the teaching staff, forcing them to wear
traditional Muslim clothes, and encouraging female student to the same. Issa has
been illegally appointed as principal with help of the local mosque’s leaders
and is actively supporting the religion teacher at the school, Murat Boshnak.
Boshnak is, reportedly, an individual with suspicious past and unclear
educational background. He is not holding even a Bulgarian high school diploma,
but has graduated from a religious school in Skopje, Macedonia. Ribnovo
residents allege that Boshnak has specialized in Saudi Arabia and is forcefully
making parents to sign requests for their children to study the Islam. He is
also demanding that children address him as “aga’ instead of “gospodin”
(Mister), had prohibited girls from attending the last prom in civil attire and
issued a ban on celebrations. Boshnak later organized a trip to Turkey with
funds from an Arab foundation. Only one girl had attended the prom. Parents, who
refuse to follow the fundamentalist rules, are being cursed during services in
the local mosque.

Yanev had established similar examples in the village of Satovcha, where
the school principal regularly attended classes in radical Islamism in an
illegal local fundamentalist school. The principal was currently on maternity
leave and, in order to keep the school under control, had appointed her own
husband to replace her.

The residents of the villages visited by Yanev are not Turks; they are all
Bulgarian-Muslims, speaking only Bulgarian language.

The RZS leader stated he was appalled by the extreme violations of the
rights and freedoms of Bulgarian citizens, embedded in the Constitution. RZS
distributed to the media video postcards, showing how radical Islam is quickly
taking roots in the country, under the courteous watch of the ruling tri-party
Coalition.

Yanev and his colleague Dimitar Abadzhiev vowed to signal the State Agency
for National Security (DANS) about the citizens’ rights violations in the
region, which, they say, are sabotaging European values and leading the way of
Islam in Europe.

U.S. been fighting Islamic fundamentalism since colonial era

April 10, 2009

By Bryan Fischer

As we watch the Somali pirate incident unfold in the Middle East, it serves as a reminder that, besides 9/11, Islam has had one other shaping influence on the history of the United States: we have a navy, thanks to the sea-going Islamic thugs of Thomas Jefferson’s day, the Barbary Pirates.

Even prior to our Declaration of Independence in 1776, Islamists under the control of an Ottoman warlord in Algiers were pirating American ships and enslaving their Christian crews. Thus our forefathers had early experience with state-sponsored terrorism, as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya all joined in the fun.

Prior to 1776, American ships had some measure of protection from the Royal Navy, which was replaced by French protection during the war for independence. But when that expired in 1783, U.S. ships came under attack again almost immediately, with the taking of the merchant ship Betsey by Moroccans in October of 1784.

Between 1785 and 1793, 13 American ships were captured along with 119 crewmen by Algiers alone. This was followed by the capture of the USS Philadelphia in 1804 with its crew of 307 sailors.

(As a side note, Lt. Stephen Decatur gained naval immortality by leading the USS Intrepid into the harbor of Tripoli, boarding the Philadelphia under cover of darkness and torching it, an act Admiral Horatio Nelson called “the most bold and daring act of the age.” Said the pope, the Americans by this action “had done more for the cause of Christianity than the most powerful nations of Christendom have done for ages.”)

Congress had begun dishing out handsome ransom payments to rescue ships and free enslaved American sailors. In other words, the first thing our forefathers tried, in responding to Islamic terrorism, was appeasement.

Two future presidents, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, were dispatched in 1786 to London to negotiate a peace treaty with the Dey of Algiers. They reported the Dey’s reason for his Islamically-inspired hostility towards America:

“[I]t was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

Does that have a familiar ring to anybody? This mindset is part of Islam, root and branch; always has been, always will.

This commitment to jihad, you will note, occurred long before American “imperialism,” before any use for oil had been discovered, before there was a state of Israel, and before America had done anything to anybody. Militant jihad, then, as it does today, stems from a profoundly dangerous religious impulse that sees only the World of Islam (Dar al-Islam) and the World of War (Dar al-Harb), with the world of Islam spiritually obligated to use force to subdue the infidels and bring them to belief in Allah and his prophet.

President George Washington warned Congress in 1793, speaking of the Barbary Pirates: “If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace…it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.” This speech led directly to the creation of the U.S. Navy in 1794.

Washington clearly understood one thing: the only language state sponsors of Islamic terrorism understand is force. Diplomacy, bribery and appeasement, in the end, are a fruitless waste of time and resources.

For a time, politicians at that time were as split on national defense as they are today. Some, such as John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, were pro-Navy and wanted to assert American strength abroad to secure international trade and respect. Others — including Jefferson for a time — wanted to spend money on domestic expansion rather than confronting America’s enemies on distant shores.

By 1800, 20% of the annual federal budget was consumed with tribute and ransom payments to Islamists.

In total, between 1500 and 1800 over 1 million white Christians were captured by Muslims and subjected to imprisonment in fetid prisons or brutal slavery. To escape the brutality, some embraced Islam by “turning Turk.”

After the Pasha of Tripoli declared war on the U.S. by cutting down the flagpole in front of the U.S. Consulate, Thomas Jefferson found his inner hawk and took us into our first war against Islamic fundamentalism.

Jefferson’s instructions to his naval officers were direct: “subdue, seize and make prizes of all vessels, goods and effects belong to the Dey of Tripoli” and take whatever measures “the state of war will justify.”

From May of 1801 to June of 1805, the Marines fought the battles immortalized in that familiar line from the Marine Hymn: “to the shores of Tripoli.” The Mameluke sword that Marines wear on parade and at formal events today memorializes the covert land operation led by William Eaton that resulted in the capture of the second largest city in the Regency of Tripoli.

However, while Eaton engaged in his heroics, and before he could make his way to Tripoli, Jefferson negotiated a peace treaty that ended that particular war with another ransom payment and a promise from the Muslims to stop attacking U.S. ships. Jefferson declared his version of “peace in our time.”

But Muslims feel no obligation to keep their word to infidels, and attacks resumed in 1807, leading to a second war against terror in 1815, under James Madison. After diplomacy and bribery once again failed, Congress issued a declaration of war, and now-Commodore Stephen Decatur quickly defeated the enemy at sea and forged a tough new treaty, “dictated at the mouth of our cannon.” The power of Islamic radicalism had finally been broken.

Europeans powers were emboldened by America’s courage. The Anglo-Dutch shelling of Algiers in 1816 led eventually to the colonization of Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, and by 1923 most of the Islamic world was under Christian control, with the Islamic Caliphate of the Ottoman Empire the last to fall.

Though many Muslim leaders backed Hitler — the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood is famously pictured in a photograph chatting up the Nazi leader — the pattern of Muslim defeat only began to reverse after World War II as increasing numbers of Muslim countries became independent of Christian colonial rule from 1946 through 1971.

In 1972, having shaking off the Christian yoke, Muslim terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games and hijacked a German airliner. The rest, as they say, is history.

It’s a fair historical assessment to say that the end of the colonial era ushered in the era of Islamic terrorism. Because of the fundamental, dark energy in mainstream Islam to subdue the infidel by force, Islamic nations are simply incapable of governing themselves in a way that does not in the end lead to violence against non-Islamic nations.

Colonial rule by the Christian nations of the West kept this demonic energy bottled up for 250 years, but the era of independence for Muslim nations has let the beast out of the cage. He can only be driven back into his cage by force.

All cultures and all religions are not morally equivalent. President Bush was wrong and naïve to believe that the hunger for political freedom is universal and burns in every human heart…

Islam advocates the involuntary imposition of sharia law everywhere in the world, and justifies the use of jihad until all the world is subject to an Islamic caliphate. They will not rest until the crescent and star waves over the White House.

President Obama is likewise wrong and naïve to believe that Islamic nations can be appeased through diplomacy and concessions. There is simply no way to “make nice” with nations who have a spiritually inspired zeal to subdue us or destroy us. His naïveté is placing American safety and security at grave risk.

While Christianity teaches that conversion must be the uncoerced choice of the free human will, Islam teaches that conversion or submission must be imposed if necessary on the unwilling. The only choices the Koran gives to us as infidels: conversion, submission, or war.

It’s quite likely that today’s Somali pirates see themselves in much the same way the Barbary Pirates did: holy warriors waging al-jihad fil-bahr, the holy war at sea. As did the Barbary Pirates, they likely see themselves simply as a warrior caste righteously engaged in the mainstream Muslim doctrine of armed jihad.

Here is how the Heritage Foundation concludes its report on the history of our war with the Barbary Pirates:

“Obviously, and thankfully, not every Muslim is obligated, or even really inclined, to take up this jihad…But that does not mean they are all opposed to such a struggle any more than the choice of many Westerners not to join the police force or the armed services means they do not support those institutions.

“It is very easy to chalk it all up to regional squabbles, economic depression, racism, or post-colonial nationalistic self-determinism…But as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams came to learn back in 1786, the situation becomes a lot clearer when you listen to the stated intentions and motivations of the terrorists and take them at face value.”
