Let us say it from the get-go: The so-called Only
Democracy in the Middle East makes us puke, and has for a long time.
This monstrous canker placed on the chest of the Arab world is the most
horrible of the gift packages sent in bursts by the democratic West to
the “backward” East in more than two centuries, when first Napoleon le
Petit Caporal made his horse trample a copy of the Qur'an in the grounds
of El Azhar Mosque. For 67 years Palestinians have been paying for a
crime of which they are innocent. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem may have
been tempted to ally with Hitler to fight the perfidious Albion and its
Zionist henchmen, but as far as we know, he had nothing to do with the
Holocaust of the Jews of Europe.
Once an Israeli soldier stationed at one of the infamous
checkpoints was asked how he distinguished a Jew from an Arab. "It's
simple,” he said, “the Palestinians look like hunted Jews."
The history of the Jewish state is that of a long "Night and Fog"
operation that seems to go on forever. But everything has an end, the
Empires as well as their cankers. Now we come to the current chapter of
this operation.
It took seven days and seven nights, 180 Palestinians dead, more
than 500 Zionist anti-Gaza-missile missiles at $100,000 apiece and most
importantly, the end of the World Cup, before "the world" began to
react, from the bottom to the top. Some reactions were bizarre, to say
the least.
From the top, the prize goes to François Hollande
-- to give honor where honor is due -- in the aftermath of a
hyper-militarist July 14 that had nothing to do with the sans-culottes
and the women of the suburbs of 1789: "I don’t come here to say that we
are pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian; we are for peace. Because the
situation in the Middle East can be explosive (...) we can’t allow the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be imported to France. We can’t have
excesses and spillovers of intrusion or the will for intrusion in places
of worship, whether synagogues as happened yesterday (Sunday, July 13),
and I will say the same goes for mosques, churches, temples [...]
Anti-Semitism can not be put into play because there is a conflict
between Israel and Palestine (...) France wants a Palestinian state
alongside Israel. This has been our consistent position; it will not
change." (Interview 14 July 2014)
We are not going to insult our readers by analyzing these pathetic
sentences; they deserve no comment. All they do is repeat the vulgar
line dominating from Washington to Stockholm, shared among the main
shareholders of the World Bank and their yes-men.
At about the same time in the same gentle France, the gendarmerie
of the town of Artix in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques department proceeded
with the removal of a white sheet hanging from a bridge, with an
inscription in black letters, "Israel -- murderer." A judicial
investigation is underway to find the perpetrators of this act. And if
found, will they be charged? And with what, please? The offense of
anti-Semitism, perhaps? We would be tempted to laugh until we fell down
-- if things were not so tragic, and globally.
From the bottom, the situation is somewhat
paradoxical: while the diffuse opinion of the ordinary citizens of
Europe, the Americas and above all in the Mediterranean is in its
majority, disgusted with aggressive Zionism more than ever, the movement
of solidarity with the Palestinian people seem to have melted like
butter in the sun. This is probably due to the general crisis of
oldfashioned twentieth century political activism, but there are other
more specific reasons. The example the Zionists wanted to set by killing
ten unarmed Turkish activists aboard the Mavi Marmara had the
desired effect. This act simply sowed terror among those who might have
been tempted to take the path of a physical, practical solidarity, going
unarmed into the combat ground. Where are the Gaza flotillas past? On
the other hand the massive use of the “anti-Semitism” charge by Zionist
leaders, slavishly echoed by the vast majority of established powers, is
able to cool the ardor of many. And finally, the solidarity movements
in many countries, put at the front these strange characters that are
"anti-Zionist Jews." In short, it seems that the only ones allowed to
criticize -- moderately -- the Jewish state are Jews or those who
otherwise show their allegiance to them. For our part, we do not support
the Palestinians because they are Arabs or Muslims or Christians, but
because they are deprived of their natural rights. And we are not
hostile to Israel because it is a Jewish state, but because it is a
state that in no way meets the criteria of the rule of law. If the
Palestinians were Jews and Israel a Buddhist state, which subjects them
to the same treatment, we would have the same position.
Let us consider the events that brought this about.
Three teenagers leaving a nightclub disappear one night. This
happens every Saturday night around the globe. Were they victims of hash
or crack dealers with whom they had an unpaid bill? Or of satyrs who
love fresh bodies? Or a gang of rogue Russian, Georgian, Druze or
whatnot? The problem is that teens are not only Jews, but Israeli and
belong to families of settlers illegally squatting on land that is not
theirs. And like many children of settlers, they studied in a yeshiva, a
religious school, probably because there is no other option in the area
they squat. If it is, they are no more religious than Wolfowitz’s
socks. And now the propaganda machine is turned on: "Three yeshiva
students kidnapped in the West Bank." Of course, only Palestinians can
have kidnapped them. They tell us the three bodies were found a few days
later. For the gangsters who run the Jewish state, there is not a
shadow of a doubt: Only Hamas could have committed this horrible act! If
we tell you that this is true, it is; move along, there’s nothing to
see. In over 60 years of armed Palestinian resistance, the groups that
have formed have always taken responsibility for their actions. Why has
no group claimed this one? What interest does Hamas, composed of people
who have brains, have in killing three youngsters while it is in a more
than delicate political phase, trying to patch up relations with the
pathetic Fatah led by Mahmoud Abbas, in order to present a common front
in negotiations that are ever less likely to succeed, while Israeli
Premier Benyamin Netanyahu is trumpeting that his line of defense
against the Islamic state is on the banks of the Jordan? One can think
what one wants of Hamas, except that they could do something so idiotic.
The Jewish State -- a horrible term if there ever was one, but this
term is used by its officials – will lose the new "battle" of Gaza as
it lost the war in Lebanon in 2006. If it continues to stubbornly refuse
to dissolve its evil system to save the humans that it rules over, it
will smash it head into the wall it built, including the "Iron Dome."
To conclude, we repeat a Jewish joke, as is told in Tel Aviv:
"An optimistic Israeli Jew learns Arabic/A pessimistic Israeli Jew learns English/ A realistic Israeli Jew learns how to swim."
The month of August grows near. And if one goes to Gaza Beach?
Ayman the Kayman, a vegetarian alligator who thus avoids the problems connected to the licit and illicit.
Good week anyway!
May the force of the spirit be with you!
And ... see you next week!
