Israel begins construction on Zion's Berlin Wall

W S DERFTY | 17.06.2002 16:23

Over the weekend, Israel began to put into place what it bizarrely describes as a fence, along the border with the west Bank.

Fences are not usually made of prefabricated concrete. rather like the term 'settlement', these euphemistic phrases are intended to hide the true nature of the thing itself. Ultimately, just as in Berlin, this wall is intended to divide a premier city, in this case Jerusalem. Just typical ! when you thought the Cold War was about over, along comes another one to take its place !

The wall is the fault of sucide bombers

The wall is purely the fault of sucicide bombers! It is only being built to protect Israeli civilians from those scum. Although we know Israel is the main aggressor in the middle east, it doesn't mean we should support Islamic fundamentalist scum like Hamas who are just as bad as the Iraeli authorities if not worse. We should only support an independent non religous working class movement!

steelgate


More like apartheid every day

For Steelgate opposing the theft of more land by Israel and the ghettoising of the Palestinians means supporting Hamas and other extremists. Come off it. That's the same as the propaganda line that any criticism of Sharon's policies is anti-semitic.

Ariel Sharon doesn't want a just peace - he wants land and resources (especially water) for Jews, without the Palestinians. The wall is just one more attempt to crush their aspirations. Did you miss the Likud Party decision to NEVER grant the Palestinians a state?*

Still, this wall will cost a few shekels and what with new submarines and nuclear tipped cruise missiles** to pay for, the case for boycott of Israel grows more compelling.

Bravo, Anti-Beeb !!
Bravo, Anti-Beeb !!

... compelling, urgent and very much in ernest !!

So, let's do it already!!

Anyone remember how SA was freed from the Apartheid slavedriver's grip?? This example shows what extensive measures are needed, and how they can succeed!!

With a view to co-ordininating and commencing such worthy actions at a pan-european level, please mail me!

International Law must be *instated* over Israel and the USA!!

Because there is simply no way the corrupt political castes running the governments of these two nations will ever spontaneously accept such rule-of-law, as they have so amply demonstrated over the preceding decades.

Also, the 'Leaders' (into mind-slavery, methinks!) of Europe are too comfortable and cowardly to initiate such a movement, they have sold their souls to NATO, and are relentlessly mind-fucked in payment!

So the only effective alternative to stop the run-amok madness of nuclear-armed fools is an exercise of our basic democratic prerogative - organised resistance from the streets!!!

Up and at 'em, Lads and Lassies!!

Schalom, BP
