Protest against Jericho prison raid - 14-03-06

Oscar Beard | 16.03.2006 04:09 | Anti-militarism | Repression | London | World

Unauthorised demonstration outside Downing Street, London, against Israeli attack on Jericho prison in Palestine.

Members of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, playwright Alistair Beaton and Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn all breached the SOCPA exclusion zone in protest of the UK and US governments alleged complicity to the attack by Israeli troops on Jericho prison.

The UK and US both pulled out their prison monitor staff just hours before the raid which saw two Palestinian police killed and 26 injured in the largest Israeli assault into Palestine for months, if not years.

The demonstration was small, the police presence heavy, especially on independent media cameramen. But that is just becoming the normal routine of things in these strange and unnerving days.

As we approach world war, anti-Blair posts magically disappear into a black hole

17.03.2006 03:00

Jack Straw, Blair's jewish warlord, is DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of those two Palestinian policemen. However, given that the reported British police thuggery "especially on independent media cameramen" at the protest, and indymedia UK's thuggery on any comments attempting to get justice for Palestinians (compare this with the endless stream of vile racist anti-muslim comments that indymedia UK regularly permits, as clearly seen over the 'cartoon' protest incident for example), I don't think either Blair or Straw have ANYTHING to worry about on their short path to war with Iran.

One should not be suprised. Indymedia UK can't even be bothered to hide its agenda these days. It is like the occasion a few years back when Commondreams was scrubbed clean of ALL anti-Israeli news posts.

To those of you that are reading this in the hidden section where the pro-Blair censors have placed my comment (if it has not been deleted in its entirety), I would remind you that a few years back, Blair's zionist (not the word I would chose to use, since it is not accurate) controlled mass-media was telling you all that keeping the Palestinians happy was key to Blair's strategy of successful use of force in the rest of the muslim world. If you think about this, and consider that today NO attempt is made to fig-leaf Blair's anti-muslim crusade, you will see how far we have come.

In a Canadian school for muslims, after the Israeli terrorists had butchered the people leaving a mosque in Palestine, in order to kill a Palestinian leader, an old guy in a wheelchair, one of the young kids wrote a story imagining Palestinians striking back at the "Israeli soldiers" responsible. The Canadian government, completely in the hands of the supporters of Israel, regularly responsible for providing Canadian passports to Israeli terrorists so they may murder freely across the globe, including in the UK, used this story to accuse the muslims of Canada of racism.

The zionist controlled media of the West ran with this story, showing how muslims educate their kids in hate.

-ISREALIS BUTCHER UNARMED AND HELPLESS PEOPLE LEAVING A MOSQUE
-A MUSLIM CHILD IMAGINES A JUST AND PROPORTIONAL MILITARY ACTION AGAINST THE TERRORIST ISRAELI MILITARY FORCES RESPONSIBLE
-THIS THOUGHT IS USED BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE MASS MEDIA OF THE WEST TO ATTACK MUSLIMS IN THE MOST APPALLING RACIST WAY POSSIBLE.

Ring a bell? Did you know the nazis did the exact same thing? Did you know the 'owners' of 'black' slaves did the exact same thing. MASTER RACE and SLAVE RACE. MASTER RACE can rape, torture, and murder without limit. If the SLAVE RACE even dreams of striking back, or protecting itself, they are to be punished to the extreme.

ITN, run by some of the most vile pro-Israeli extremists in the world, loved the Canadian story so much that they found another one. Now ITN saves its crude BNP style racist for ITV, allowing Channel 4 news, another ITN production, to flavour its content in a "Guardian" way, so that all the "Free Trade" dribblers think they are getting something liberal. Anyway, on one of the evening news broadcasts on ITV, the racists of ITN told this story...

Iran broadcasts a cartoon aimed at kids. It shows Israeli forces entering 'occupied' Palestinian lands and butchering harmless farmers. The young relative of some of the murdered farmers, knowing that his people are denied an army or the means to defend themselves by the UN, chooses to bravely turn himself into a human-guided smart bomb, and gives up his life in an attack on those Israeli terrorists that have murdered his family.

This cartoon (recorded and provided to the ITN service by a known hyper-racist pro-Israeli media monitoring organisation) is used as proof that the Iranians are racist and dangerous. Every week, ITV and the rest of the zionist-controlled media shows films and TV series showing Western forces butchering endless numbers of humans under every excuse under the sun, some just, and some far from just. Apparently, ITN thinks that if muslims show highly just war-stories, or write highly just war-stories, or praise highly just war stories, they need to be GENOCIDED.

THIS IS RACISM IN ITS PUREST AND MOST EVIL FORM. The actions of the Canadian government against the Muslim school literally qualify as a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. Of course, such vile black propaganda proves very useful to the pro-Israel cause. This story, in a carefully edited form, was modded to +5 on Slashdot a few days ago (Slashdot is regularly subject to pro-Israeli-terrorism attention, with a carefully organised block of posters modding down pro-muslim posts, and modding up racist anti-muslim posts).

Anyone that spends any time on the net will notice that anti-muslim posts suffer from near zero censorship, and that one can easily find vast amounts of illegal racist comment on the subject. Conversely, as experience on Indymedia UK proves, the net in comparison is near scrubbed clean of anti-Israel, anti-Western terrorism posts and comment, with whatever comment is allowed to remain having to follow 'rules' that are most certainly NOT applied to anti-muslim rhetoric.

The net effect of this is that people seeking to prevent Blair's genocide of muslims self-censor to the point of so diluting their words, they might as well not bother. People are not allowed to express outrage that the BBC, ITN, ITV, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, almost every major European newspaper (including EVERY major British paper), and EVERY major newswire is directly controlled or owned by pro-Israel racists, allowing the perfect co-ordination of anti-muslim pro-genocide propaganda, whenever requested by Blair, or the Neocon psychopaths of the US.

To return to the initial story, when Israeli terrorists under Blair's command attacked the Palestinian prison complex, every one of the above media outlets simultaneously discovered the word "MURDER" to describe what had happened to the mass-murdering Israeli racist psychopath Rehavam Zeevi. Now how exactly do you think such a thing happens? Perhaps you think all the news editors in all the newsrooms of the West are psychic, and when one decides to swap from the word "KILLING" (as so carefully used to 'suggest' no bias in the Israeli-Palestine conflict, hoho) to "MURDER", his/her mind-power beams it through the ether to all the others?

Of course, you see this co-ordination of the zionist-controlled mass media at various times. Remember Muqtada al-Sadr when his name could not be mentioned, without pointing out that the US forces in Iraq were ordered to arrest him on sight over a 'murder warrent'. Remember all those occasions when "ALLEGED" is automatically inserted before any facts coming from the 'other' side. WHEN A RULE IS IN PLACE EVERY ONE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED NEWS SOURCES USES THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE IN THEIR REPORTING.

The reason that the zionist-controlled media loves OP-ED (look it up) is because it maintains the pretense of lack of bias. Newspaper, news-programs and the newswires BRAINWASH with their so-called factual reporting. The OP-ED pieces count for near zero in comparison, but do an excellent job of persuading the soft-left addicts of crap like "The Guardian" that somebody is telling "their" story. The masses have zero interest in op-ed pieces, unless they are the easy to read, raving racism of the "tell them how it really is" loudmouths of the tabloids.

Blair and Straw are DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of the two Palestinian policemen that, only the day before, British officials worked side-by-side with. Blair and Straw have murdered hundreds of thousands of humans before this, and have been directly responsible for the rape and torture of many many thousands. Blair and Straw's actions are crimes under EXISTING UK law. Why do you think that Blair and Straw are so CERTAIN that they have absolutely NOTHING to fear between now, and the start of World War 3 when Blair attacks Iran?

Posts don't just disappear, they get hidden when they are considered to breach the editorial guidelines. Nobody hides or denies this fact. Remember indymedia wasn't set up as a free-speech site and open publishing doesn't mean you can post just anything. The site is primarily meant to be a grassroots news service, not a discussion forum.

Your posts are hardly ever hidden although there are numerous comments from other users of the site asking for your posts to be hidden or for you to be permanently banned from posting. I think the reason your posts are not generally hidden is that you usually don't post your opinion pieces on the newswire but instead play a parasitic role preying on exiting posts and posting comments. I am sure that you realise that there are far less guidelines relating to comments and a much more tolerant attitude to borderline posts.

If you feel that one of your recent zionist conspiracy posts has been mistaken as some kind of racist anti-semitic rant and hiden, then you could email imc-uk-feature and explain how such posts are not in breech of the guideline about using language, imagery, or other forms of communication promoting racism, fascism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia or any other form of discrimination.

Of course it is very likely that this comment of yours will be hidden shortly since you have managed for the second time to go around yelling jew as if that is meant to explain everything. If you go to such trouble to write such rants, you could revert to language that is less likely to suggest that you are a bigoted racist fool and then your posts would probably continue to provide daily amusement to your fans.

While I'm here, thanks to Oscar Beard for the film of the protest - and the Pants To Poverty one. I saw them both at the rampART cinema last night. Keep up the good work, it is great to see such regular video reports being produced and they are really quality stuff too.
