Israeli racism: crux of Zionism

"In one case, a man's request for protection was rejected by Interior Ministry officials, who did not believe he was a Borgo tribesman from Darfur. He wasn't Sudanese, officials concluded, based in part on his poor knowledge of "elementary details about Sudan" and his meager Arabic. "

torture in Bahrain

"A group of political dissidents charged with plotting against the government of Bahrain are stonewalling the prosecution by refusing to cooperate with state-appointed lawyers after their own legal team withdrew in protest over the authorities' refusal to investigate torture claims.  On Thursday, the trial for 25 dissidents accused of terrorism was adjourned until Jan. 6 after the state-appointed lawyers told the court they could not do their job without their clients' cooperation, according to organizations following the case. Local media has been barred from covering the trial."

Modern Bribes (from Jadaliyya)

"The UAE has proven especially visionary in its pursuit of offsets – pioneering practices like “offset banking” – which allows multiple defense contractors with offset obligations to dump money into a fund designated by the government, as well as the increasingly popular “pre-performance” offset, in which companies make an investment in the procuring country before the bidding process even begins. So far at least three firms that set up businesses in the UAE in hopes of securing future contracts eventually lost out to competitors or saw the predicted deals disintegrate: McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) set up a Berlitz Language School in the run-up to its (ultimately) failed bid to supply fighter jets; Newport News (now part of Northrop Grumman) created Abu Dhabi Ship Building in anticipation of subsequent deals for fast patrol vessels it likewise failed to secure; and British Aerospace (now BAE Systems) helped start the aircraft leasing company Waha, for yet another deal that never transpired.[3]  Perceptions of the success of the UAE’s program have been so compelling to the Emirates’ neighbors that Abu Dhabi’s annual conference on defense offsets is attended by leaders from almost every Arab state, even those who claim not to engage in offsets – usually because they rely on U.S. military aid which technically prohibits them from demanding offsets from U.S. firms. Efforts have also been made in the GCC to consolidate regional offset programs in order to leverage the members’ collective purchasing power and compel defense manufacturers to meet increasingly stringent offset requirements."

Another Israeli spy story: busted by Lebanese police (hahahahaha)

Comrade Hasan `Ullayq tells another story of another Israeli spy in Lebanon.

"Israel is in grave danger" (I wish)

"Rothman explained to the French president that if the weaponry was to fall into Hizbullah possession, "Israel would be in grave danger of having your anti-tank missiles used against her.""

Failures of Israeli intelligence in Lebanon

Comrade Ibrahim Al-Amin writes about Israeli intelligence failures in Lebanon.  Oh, I forgot: hahahahaha.

Zionist fatwawawawa: you are reading Angry Arab at your own moral peril

"Shlomo Aviner, one of Religious Zionism's leading rabbis, has stated that responses to articles on websites should not be read due to fears that doing so would lead to religious and moral transgressions."

Saudi dilemma

A Saudi dilemma is when a Saudi Prince or King in his mid-80s is asked whether he would rather be rushed into a hospital or the grave?  If I am asked to advise Saudi King and princes, I strongly recommend the grave--purely on medical grounds, of course.

Who is Prince Naif?

Does he mean Prince Nayif?  "Prince Naif – whose son Muhammad is the powerful deputy minister of interior". (thanks Nikki)

Mossad work: exposed by Lebanese police: hahahaha

This reads like a thriller.  Comrade Hasan `Ullayq of Al-Akhbar exposes the details of Mossad work with Lebanese agent, Sharbil Qazzi.  Oh, I forgot: hahahahaha.

Notice how easy it is for Lebanonese to describe one of their own as "philosopher"

"Rihani was “the first Lebanese-Arab thinker and philosopher who wrote in English and Arabic,” says the younger Rihani. The issue of East and West was “voiced by Rihani” and revived the public’s awareness."  Rihani (whose writings I like from a literary point of view) was the first paid promoter of House of Saud in the Arab world.   And notice that all participants of this Rihani conference were...Lebanese.  Lebanon is a country where The King of Potato (Malik Al-Batata) is described as Philosopher of Potato Ethics.  (thanks Ahmad)

Provocative: can you imagine the outrage if this was an Arab mayor?

"The mayor of a Jewish suburb of Nazareth sparked outrage on Wednesday after refusing to allow Christmas trees to be placed in town squares, calling them provocative.  "The request of the Arabs to put Christmas trees in the squares in the Arab quarter of Nazareth Illit is provocative," Mayor Shimon Gapso told AFP." (thanks Olivia)

The war against women in Afghanistan

"Awan said that there were horrifying incidents of atrocities that men commit in this part of the world. As reported 75,039 cases of violence against women have been reported in the last 9 years while 13,972 women have been murdered. About 17,107 women have been subjected to torture and 452 women were raped and then murdered. Large attributes of violence are as such: lack of access to education and opportunity and low social status in communities are linked to violence against women. Violence by a close relative is one of the most common form of violence against women. Honour killing is still widespread in Pakistani society as per the data record."

Terje Roed Larsen (tool of US and House of Saud--who loves private jets of Hariri)

"The Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende reported on the 20th of December from Wikileaks document a report aboutt a private dinner with the American ambassador to Lebanon in August 2006.  At the dinner, Norwegian Terje Roed Larsen told the ambassador that none of the possible candidates to take over the UN secretary general were acceptable.  He said that the only person who should get the job was himself. And asked for US support.  The ambassador described Roed Larsens ambitions with a solid dose of sarcasm. And then added in the cable: Roed Larsen went on to say «And if Prince Zaid of Jordan becomes the front-runner, then the U.S. should demand that Prince Zaid «have a ticket,» with - you guessed it, readers - Larsen as Deputy SYG,»  It has to be added here that several years later, Mona Juul, Roed Larsen’s wife, broke the usual code of conduct for diplomats by openly criticizing Ban Ki-Moon, the man who got the job of UN secretary general instead of her husband and as the following document from the unforum point out, the written critique may not have been her work, but rather Roed Larsen’s handiwork."  From the hometown Norwegian newspaper of Larsen--translation by Michael.  (thanks Michael)

"Actions of the Givati brigade, sponsored by Sabra Hummus"

"The day after ground troops entered the Gaza Strip during Operation Cast Lead two years ago, S., a soldier in the Givati Brigade, allegedly shot a woman in her upper body while she was carrying a white flag. About half an hour later, S. subsequently told the Military Police, the company commander arrived and S. was stunned by his response.   "He told me, in front of everyone, 'You're a cold-blooded murderer, you'll go to hell,'" S. said. "When I tried to tell him, 'But those were your orders,' he told me, 'Shut up. You won't remain in my company.'"
"But that was it. From then on, until the end of the fighting, it was if nothing had happened," S. related.
..  "The battalion commander arrived and asked 'Who fired?' I said, 'I fired,'" S. recalled. "He asked, 'Why did you fire?' and I answered, 'The company commander's orders were to shoot anyone who approaches the fortifications, because he's a terrorist.' He said, 'Very good' and went away.""

"Democratic" racism

"You’re talking about drawing a line so that how many Israeli Arabs will no longer be part of Israel? At least half.

Polls suggest that 90 percent or more of Israeli Arabs don’t want that. You have 20 percent of the population that’s the Arab minority. You have 80 percent that’s Jewish. From 80 percent of the Jewish population, 70 percent support this idea." (thanks Sus)

American liberal feminists and Israeli sexism and misogyny

Do you notice that American liberal feminists are always silent regarding manifestations of sexism and misogyny in the Zionist usurping entity?  "Just as in previous years, the chief rabbis sent a letter to rabbis all across Israel instructing them to "bring up the Exodus Torah reading during their sermon on Saturday regarding the "biblical prohibition to kill fetuses in their mothers' intestines." (thanks Farah)

Did "God" think that women carried fetuses in their intestines?

Prince `Azzuz gets married

This is from the wedding reception of Prince `Azzuz (King Fahd's favorite son who stayed by his father's side all his life because a fortune teller told daddy Fahd that he will be safe provided `Azzuz stays at his side).  Mini-Hariri is seen in the picture: he has served for years as "pleasure adviser" to `Azzuz and stood by him through the difficult years when `Azzuz had a multi-million dollar fatal obsession with Yasmeen Bleeth, who used `Azzuz's generosity to feed her drug addiction.  And then you ask me where Arab oil money is going, damn it.

Flash: Saudi king.

Bad news: Saudi king leaves the hospital.
Good news: he leaves the hospital straight to the grave.

Moore aggravates US diplomacy

"Michael Moore, appearing on the Rachel Maddow Show on Tuesday night, said the New Zealand cable uncovered by WikiLeaks showed the unsettling reach of US influence. "If they were micromanaging me that much, if they were that concerned about the truth in Fahrenheit 9/11 that they have to go after a screening in a place I don't even really know where it is – I know it's way too long to sit in coach for me – I want to know. Because I think it speaks to a larger issue: if they have the time for that, what else are these guys up to?""

Israel and US are working on the production of a new Islam: revised and improved to suit "the peace process"

"The United States has pushed the Palestinian Authority to put an end to the vitriolic sermons that the United States and Israel say undercut peace efforts. But it has been careful not to overtly praise the latest effort. While seen as helpful to U.S. goals, the crackdown also reveals an authoritarian streak in a Palestinian leadership routinely hailed by American officials for its governance."

The Washington Post protects Kissinger

Notice that the Washington Post purposefully protected Henry Kissinger by omitting his anti-Semitic remarks.  Kissinger has always been close to the family that owns the Post.

EI responds

"So far, all those who have previously been summoned have refused to appear before the grand jury. No one has been arrested or charged with any crime, nor has the government specified any alleged crimes that it might be investigating.  Although The Electronic Intifada itself has not been a target of any of the subpoenas -- contrary to some media reports -- we consider the grand jury investigation and all of the subpoenas to be part of a broad attack on the anti-war and Palestine solidarity movements and a threat to all of our rights. We offer our full support to our colleague Maureen Clare Murphy and all those who are being harassed for their lawful advocacy of a just and violence-free US foreign policy." (thanks Matthew)

Nabi Salih

"In October 1977, a month before Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s famous visit to Jerusalem to proclaim his desire for peace, the settlement of Halamish (pop. ca. 1,000) was implanted on the hillside opposite al-Nabi Saleh.  Since then – in parallel with the never-ending “peace process” – Halamish has expanded from its original foothold in a Jordanian police fort to occupy nearly half the historic lands of al-Nabi Saleh.  The remaining village lands are mostly on the north side of Road 465, which runs on the floor of the valley separating al-Nabi Saleh from Halamish.  In December 2009 settlers from Halamish expropriated the natural spring of ‘Ayn al-Kus on the south side of Road 465.  Several weeks later, Halamish settlers burned down 150 of al-Nabi Saleh’s olive trees near the spring.  The Halamish settlers did not receive authorization from any Israeli authority for these acts of aggression.  Both the US government and the European Union recently reaffirmed that all settlement activity is illegal according to international law.  But this does not impinge on the army’s mission to protect the settlers, whether or not their actions are “legal.”" (thanks Joel)

Only fans of Israeli war crimes are allowed in

"La militante pro-palestinienne française Olivia Zemor a été interpellée à l'aéroport international de Ben Gourion à Tel-Aviv et empêchée d'entrer en Israël, a indiqué aujourd'hui une porte-parole du ministère israélien de l'Intérieur. "Elle a été stoppée sur recommandation des services de sécurité et elle est toujours détenue à l'aéroport", a déclaré à l'AFP Sabine Haddad, porte-parole des services israéliens de l'immigration, sans autre précision." (thanks Hadjar)

Anti-Semites for Israel: and Israel for anti-Semites

"An Israeli lawmaker has met with the leader of Austria's far right amid protests from the Jewish community.  Ayoob Kara, a deputy minister and a member of Israel's ruling Likud Party, told reporters Tuesday that he considers Heinz-Christian Strache and his Freedom Party as partners in the fight against terrorism and that there was nothing in the group's program that "isn't kosher.""

Let them drink speeches by the Supreme Leader

"An Iranian man was given 80 lashes in public for drinking alcohol, ISNA news agency reported on Wednesday, a punishment aimed at discouraging others from such behaviour outlawed in the Islamic Republic."

Trent University

They interviewed the head of the Jordanian archeological department on Al-Arabiyya TV (the station of King Fahd's brother-in-law which is run by Prince `Azzuz).  He talked about a major dig by the "American university of Trent."  Kid you not.

Zionism is racism, always

"The Jerusalem Police have arrested seven youths and two young men from Jerusalem and nearby settlements on suspicion of assaulting young Arab men after having a 14-year-old girl seduce them.  The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Tuesday released three of the teens on bail under limiting conditions." (thanks Farah)

Israeli killers, terrorists, war criminals, occupiers, and thieves

"Hundreds of documents have been stolen from the database of Yesh Din, the NGO monitoring the legal situation of Palestinians in the West Bank. The group's legal adviser, attorney Michael Sfard, said his office also had also internal use documents stolen."

Free media by free governments

"Britain urged the US to join it and France in lobbying the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which regulates satellite transmissions, against the Iranian government, while also acknowledging that it had no enforcement authority." (thanks Nu`man)

And this in the most internationally subsidized state in the whole world

"Some 1.77 million people live in poverty in Israel, of them more than 850,000 children, according to an "alternative poverty report" published by the non-profit organization Latet."

Can you imagine the world's reaction if Syria or Iran were caught doing this?

"U.S. diplomats criticized New Zealand's reaction to the 2004 arrest of two suspected Israeli spies, accusing New Zealand's government of using the affair to increase its export of lamb to Arab states, the Guardian reported on Tuesday, citing cables released by WikiLeaks.   Ties between Israel and New Zealand grew strained after two Israelis, thought to be Mossad agents, were caught trying to illegally forge local passports. New Zealand's then-Prime Minister Helen Clark suspended high-level diplomatic relations until Israel formally apologized over the incident in 2005.  (thanks Olivia)

Israel: capital of racism--of the various kinds

"Just weeks after several dozen state-employed rabbis ignited a major controversy by issuing a letter calling on Israeli Jews not to rent or sell their homes to non-Jews, and one day after an anti-Arab demonstration in Bat Yam, Tuesday saw two more incidents in the rising tide of hatred and racism that appears to be sweeping the country.  In Jerusalem, police said on Tuesday they had arrested nine members of a suspected youth gang that has been targeting Arab passersby in the center of the city in recent months. Police officials also released information on the arrests, which were carried out over a two-week period.   The suspects, who are reportedly residents of Jerusalem and nearby settlements, have been released under house arrest until the completion of the investigation.  Meanwhile, in south Tel Aviv, hundreds of residents demonstrated on Tuesday against the presence of foreigners in their neighborhood. Holding signs declaring "We've been afraid long enough, send the infiltrators home," among other demands, protesters called on the government to deport aliens and refugees, and on local landlords to refrain from renting them apartments.  Several dozen right-wing activists who do not reside in Tel Aviv were said to have joined the demonstration as well." (thanks Sarah)

Grand (not really) Ayatullah Sistani

In the contemporary history of the Arabs, the name Grand (not really) Ayatullah Sistani will go down on the same shameful list of people like Anwar Sadat, Salam Fayyad, Muhammad Dahlan, Rafiq Hariri, Bashir Gemayyel, King Fahd, King Khusayn, and Iyad Allawi.  It will be remembered that Sistani sold Iraq to the American occupiers.

PS No, I am not writing this because of the widely circulated story in Arab internet about an alleged section in Rumsfeld's memoirs about him.  I know that the story is a hoax.

Fares Akram: learning the Zionist trade at the New York Times

Look at this story and the headline:  "Israeli Airstrike Kills Militants in Gaza."   In other words, Fares Akram was able to examine the dead bodies and determine that every one of them is a militant. When asked, Akram said that the blood of militants is purple and not red, thus making it very easy for him to determine a Palestinian militant from a regular human being.   He cites "Palestinian security forces"--which in present-day Palestine is a euphemism for Israeli-trained, Israeli-supplied militias under the leadership of a US general.

When Israel attacks, it is retaliation. When Arabs retaliate, it is offense--always

Look at this lovely chronology in the New York Times: "A rocket fired from Gaza fell close to a kindergarten in an Israeli village on Tuesday morning. Earlier, the Israeli Air Force struck several targets in Gaza in retaliation for a recent increase in rocket and mortar shell fire."  So even though the Palestinians were retaliating against Israeli murder of Palestinians and air raids on civilian targets, the article by Kershner makes it look like that the rocket fried from Gaza (a fire cracker really) started the "cycle" of violence--as the US Department of State calls it when Israel resorts to violence and terrorism.

Zionist fanatics in defense of Anti-Semitism

Those Zionist US leaders explain why the anti-Semitism of Kissinger should be ignored:  "Clyde Haberman referred to the shock and dismay of some in the Jewish community in response to certain comments by Henry A. Kissinger in a 1973 conversation with President Richard M. Nixon. However, the fuller Kissinger record should be remembered.   Just several weeks before this conversation, Mr. Kissinger and Nixon agreed to provide Israel with 100 advanced aircraft and to remove Israeli issues from the State Department to the White House, something strongly sought by Golda Meir, who was then prime minister."  So according to them, had the Nazis supplied the Zionist movement with missiles and weapons, their anti-Semitism would have been forgiven too.  

"The Great Islamaphobic Crusade"

"Erupting so many years after the September 11th trauma, this spasm of anti-Muslim bigotry might seem oddly timed and unexpectedly spontaneous. But think again: it’s the fruit of an organized, long-term campaign by a tight confederation of right-wing activists and operatives who first focused on Islamophobia soon after the September 11th attacks, but only attained critical mass during the Obama era.  It was then that embittered conservative forces, voted out of power in 2008, sought with remarkable success to leverage cultural resentment into political and partisan gain.   This network is obsessively fixated on the supposed spread of Muslim influence in America. Its apparatus spans continents, extending from Tea Party activists here to the European far right. It brings together in common cause right-wing ultra-Zionists, Christian evangelicals, and racist British soccer hooligans. It reflects an aggressively pro-Israel sensibility, with its key figures venerating the Jewish state as a Middle Eastern Fort Apache on the front lines of the Global War on Terror and urging the U.S. and various European powers to emulate its heavy-handed methods." (thanks Nader)

Propagandists of the House of Saud

This article by the "editor" of the mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons is very cute. Saudi propagandists are not permitted to criticize any Arab government except Sudan and Syria and Hizbullah and Hamas.  The rest are off limit. So this guy (whose articles are more effective than Ambien) criticizes the Sudanese president over the public flogging of a Sudanese woman and then adds:  "The intention here is not to object against the application of Shari`ah." So what is your objection then?  You can't have it both ways.  You are under orders to criticize the Sudanese government but you can't dare criticize this medieval application of Shari`ah?  Spare me and go ask the permission of the prince to drink a glass of water.

Crown Prince learns how to sign his name

This is a major development. Saudi Crown Prince Sultan bin Bribes learns how to sign his name.  House of Saud could not be more proud.

What is left of the French Revolution? Sarkozy?

"NICOLAS Sarkozy will take another lurch to the Right with a speech on New Year's Eve calling Muslim prayers in the street "unacceptable".   After his expulsions of gypsies and a crackdown on immigrant crime, the French President will warn that the overflow of Muslim faithful on to the streets at prayer time when mosques are packed to capacity risks undermining the French secular tradition separating state and religion." (thanks Nasir)

Anti-Semites for Israel

"Far-right political parties in Europe are stepping up their anti-Muslim rhetoric and forging
ties across borders, even going so far as to visit Israel to hail the Jewish state as a bulwark against militant Islam." (thanks "Ibn Rushd")

Wikileaks and Arab governments

Something is going on among the Arab "victims" of Wikileaks. I notice that to either preempt Wikileaks release or to compensate for published Wikileaks, Arab officials are increasing their anti-Israeli rhetoric.  Suddenly, Husni Mubarak cracks an Israeli espionage network when his own regime spies for Israel.  Fu'ad Boo hoo Sanyurah issued a fierce anti-Israeli statement against Israeli flights over Lebanon, when he was silent during the Israeli July war on Lebanon and colluded with Israel through the French.  Lastly, the Saudi government sent aid to Gaza wrapped in words of sympathy from House of Saud. Something is going on.  It can only mean: stay tuned.  More wikileaks are coming out SOON.
