Israeli Leaders' Crimes are Like Nazis'

This could lead to a wider regional conflict, in which the US has already commited to on the side of Israel, but may, in the end, be Zionism's inevitable undoing.
Columnist & Former Editor of London Daily Al-Hayat: Israeli Leaders' Crimes are Like Nazis'
In a July 6, 2006 article titled "From One Intifada to Another" in both the Arabic and English editions of the London Arabic-language daily Al-Hayat, columnist and former Al-Hayat editor Jihad Al-Khazen compares Israel to Nazi Germany and draws an analogy between the Palestinian terrorist attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing, in which IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Shalit was taken hostage, and the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
The following are excerpts from the article, which appears in the original English: [1]
"The Latest Israeli Offensive Reminds Me of What I Read About the Warsaw Ghetto"
"About six million Jews lost their lives in the Nazi Holocaust. [But while] the [number of] victims of the tit-for-tat killings between Israelis and Palestinians during the past decades may not reach the number of the victims of Auschwitz and Treblinka in a day, there are obvious similarities between what the Jews suffered under Nazism and what the descendants of the Holocaust victims are afflicting to the Palestinians.
"The latest Israeli offensive reminds me of what I read about the Warsaw Ghetto. This was a poor Jewish neighborhood in the Polish capital, which was targeted by the racist Nazis. After the German occupation of Poland in 1939, the Jews in the Ghetto suffered all forms of starvation, deportation and genocide. Some Jewish partisans revolted on April 19, 1943. They shot and threw grenades at German patrols. The Nazis responded by shelling houses block by block and rounding up or killing any Jew they could capture. Significant resistance ended on April 23, and the uprising ended on May 16.
"During the fighting, approximately 7000 Jewish partisans were killed, apart from 6000 others who were burned alive or gassed. Before these confrontations, the population of the Ghetto was estimated at about 380,000. By the end of the uprising, only 50,000 remained. They were sent to German death camps. Most of them went to Treblinka."
"The Whole Gaza Strip is a Nazi-Like Concentration Camp"
"This Jewish uprising was not much different than the Palestinian one. The Palestinian Resistance carried out a military operation against Israeli soldiers. A soldier is supposed to kill and be killed. The Israeli response was almost the same as the Nazis'. They attacked the whole Gaza Strip, striking bridges and a power plant. They destroyed the water supply as a means of collective punishment in the Nazi way. The whole Gaza Strip is a Nazi-like concentration camp, just as the Warsaw Ghetto was after the German occupation of Poland."
"The Government of Fuhrer Olmert Will Not Send the People of Gaza to Gas Camps Because Oil is Expensive"
"The numbers are different, but all the other details are similar. I think that the government of 'Führer' (leader) Olmert will not send the people of Gaza to gas camps because oil is expensive. Hitler was not worried about television, which now exposes the murders of Muhammad Al-Dura, Huda Ghalia, and the children and women of Gaza.
"I do not believe that the Israeli government will force the Palestinians to wear a badge to distinguish the Arabs or Muslims from the superior Jewish race. However, Olmert's government might decide to force the Palestinians to wear something like a yellow Star of David, with the word 'Jew' written in the middle. Hence, I suggest a crescent with a green background, and the word 'Arab' or 'Muslim' written in the middle. The Jews in Europe had to wear badges that distinguished them. Olmert's government might force the Palestinians to make their own badges. If so, Israel will hit two birds with one stone: achieve ethnic discrimination and find a solution for unemployment, the worst problem facing the Palestinians in the Strip.
"I know that the Jews reject any comparison between the Nazi Holocaust and any massacre or racial genocide, whether in Pol Pot's Cambodia, in Rwanda or any where else. I know that most of the Jews around the world have nothing to do with the practices of the Israeli army and settlers. Most of them are moderate liberals, but the similarities are undeniable."
"Are We Going to See the Day When Israeli War Criminals Stand in the Dock Like the Nazi Leaders at the Nurembeg Trials?"
"Are we going to see the day when Israeli war criminals stand in the dock, like the Nazi leaders at the Nuremberg trials? Before I answer the question, I would like to make a small digression into history.
"The U.S. Treasury Secretary at that time, Henry Morgenthau, proposed a plan to rid Germany of any Nazi-like manifestations (this is similar to what is happening in Iraq). The plan was named after Morgenthau, and it included deportation, forced labor, and economic sanctions. Both Churchill and Roosevelt approved the plan. They tried to put it into effect at the Second Quebec Conference in September 1944. But Stalin and U.S. public opinion opposed the plan. Eventually, President Truman, who succeeded Roosevelt in 1945, approved the plan of U.S. Secretary of War Henry Stimson. The Stimson plan became the basis for the trial of European war criminals.
"In Israel, the Minister of Finance, Abraham Hirchson, or the Minister of Interior, Roni Bar-On, or the Minister of Internal Security, Avi Dichter, may also come up with a plan similar to Morgenthau's. It would include deportation, forced labor and economic sanctions, especially since deportation and sanctions have already begun. What prevents the use of forced labor is the fear of the rise of terrorism.
"I do not believe that I will see a trial of Israeli war criminals like the Nuremberg trials. The victorious party is the one that decides who is a terrorist. Had Hitler won the war, all the leaders of the US, Britain, France and the USSR would have been prosecuted instead of the Germans, among whom were Martin Bormann, Hermann Göring, Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop."
The Israelis' Crimes are Similar to the Nazis', No Matter How the Numbers May Differ
"As long as Israel has the final say and is backed by the U.S., the tail will continue to wag the dog. Ehud Olmert, Shaul Mofaz, and Dan Halutz will not be punished, as they deserve. Their crimes are similar to the Nazis', no matter how the numbers may differ.
"Is it reasonable that the descendents of the Holocaust victims, or its survivors, practice what their ancestors had suffered? There are psychological explanations for this that I do not claim to understand. So, I will not try to philosophize.
"I understand that my analogy will annoy many Jews. I will not deny that it is fully intended. Perhaps the criminals will regain their reason and realize what they are doing. What I have to say to the moderate Jewish majority that seeks peace, is that they need to impose their will in order not to be stained with the crimes of an extremist minority."

How much longer must the Palestinian people be bombed, starved, humiliated and abused before the international community speaks up with one voice? How much longer will world leaders avert their eyes from the cruel way Israel is pursuing a land grab? How much longer will ordinary people prefer the World Cup and blissful ignorance to the facts of Israel’s crimes and their effects on an entire people?

Entry denied: Deporting witnesses of Israeli occupation and unilateralism

The Israelis have now destroyed several airports, making it impossible for journalists to land in the region.
IT SEEMS ISRAEL PLANNED DELIBERATE PROVOCATION OF HAMAS AND HIZBOLLAH
A report in the Jerusalem Post today proves very revealing. It claims that, ‘Only weeks ago, an entire reserve division was drafted in order to train for an operation such as the one the IDF is planning in response to Wednesday morning's Hizbollah attacks on IDF forces along the northern border.’[1]
The news is revealing because it was only a little over two weeks ago that Cpl. Gilad Shalit was captured by Palestinian fighters. One needs to ask how the Israelis knew at, or even before, he was captured that it would be taking action against Hizbollah in Lebanon.
This revealing piece of news comes on top of an earlier revelation that the Israelis had planned the arrest of top Palestinian Hamas leaders some time well before Shalit was captured as Ha’aretz reported: “The detention of Hamas parliamentarians in the early hours of Thursday morning had been planned several weeks ago and received approval from Mazuz on Wednesday. The same day, Shin Bet Director Yuval Diskin presented Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with the list of Hamas officials slated for detention.” [2]

Israel Blames Attacks on Syria-Iran Axis
http://www.forward.com/articles/8095
We may now be seeing the motive behind Israel's provocation: inciting the wars against Iran and Syria that they could not gain support for legitimately.
Why would Syria, or Iran, bother to go through Lebanon to capture a couple Israeli soldiers? What possible gain would they get from it? It's not like these soldiers were officers, or in any way important. They were simply not worth the bother.
Indeed it appears that these soldiers were "throw-aways", intentionally positioned to make their capture inevitable, so that Israel could launch the offensive into Lebanon, an operation which has now been confirmed to have been planned and rehearsed BEFORE the capture occured, echoing the deception that was used to start the Gaza offensive.
In a July 6, 2006 article titled "From One Intifada to Another" in both the Arabic and English editions of the London Arabic-language daily Al-Hayat, columnist and former Al-Hayat editor Jihad Al-Khazen compares Israel to Nazi Germany and draws an analogy between the Palestinian terrorist attack on the Kerem Shalom crossing, in which IDF soldier Cpl.

Western Not-Sees Enable Israel's State Terror

Hint: the latter have been at it 50 years longer than Hitler.
Orwell Warned
Watch as Channel Four News glorifies Israeli atrocities.

"Israeli warships have blocked all the ports of Lebanon to stop terrorists getting weapons according to Israel." (I paraphrase through imperfect memory, but the form of the statement was the same). The 'pause' is a well learnt verbal psychological trick.
Watch the expression of Snow, and his other ITN journalists. Listen to their inflections when describing Israeli terrorism, or the murder of muslim civilians.
Listen as Snow informs his viewers that muslims provoked Israel, and that Syria and Iran are ultimately to blame. Except, Snow doesn't say this, the other reporters do. Snow plays a very careful role, presenting himself to Guardian reading dribblers as 'left-wing', whereas in reality, Channel 4 News is the ITN flagship for glorifying Israeli and Blair terrorism.
Snow is the very best kind of Goebbels propagandist, targetting not the dimwitted disinterested masses, but the very people that should be engaging in the greatest activism against the crimes of Israel (and the crimes of Blair, who triggered this current round of atrocities with his high level meeting with top Israeli terrorists, and his public glorification of every Israeli crime against humanity, under the disguise of celebrating x years of jews living in the UK- go listen to the speech, Blair explicitly links supporting jews in the UK with supporting Israeli war crimes).
QUOTE
israel has bombed EVERY SINGLE STREET AND HIGHWAY that leads anywhere in lebanon. we cant leave saida. and we definately cant leave lebanon since they bombed the airport.
to sum things up, i have never been more terrified for my life as i am right now. nobody can eat and we are all just shaking. my heart is racing 24hrs out of the day because we odnt know what to expect.
UNQUOTE
An 18 year-old in Lebanon. How similar to the words spoken by people in each of the cities and nations that can under nazi attack.
The nazis said, touch one of our soldiers, and we will use the full strength of our military machine in revenge, and then Hitler ensured that this situation happened over and over again. They NEEDED propagandists like Jon Snow to ensure that each act of genocide had the maximum amount of whitewash.
Channel 4 News just showed prolonged footage from an Israeli hospital, with kids in beds. Victims of NOTHING of course, but a nice little ITN visual psy-op to ensure the right kind of association in people's heads.
ALL ITN JOURNALISTS FULLY SUPPORT ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO MASS MURDER HUMANS AT WILL. ITN is owned by the most extreme racist supporters of Israel (people that make Conrad Black look like a humanitarian).
Channel 4 News is the TV equivalent of The Guardian, Blair's main anti-muslim, pro-war newspaper. Like the Guardian, you are drawn to it because it seems to give a little more time to the 'other' side of the story. This is merely the sugar used for your class of politically aware person, so that Blair's foul medicine may be poured down your throat without you noticing most of the time.
Israel is currently exploding terrorist bombs in the heart of hundreds of civilian areas. In one day, Israel has exploded more terrorist bombs than the sum total of every bombing anywhere in the world, at any time, described as terrorist by Jon Snow.
Of course, with Goldsmith, Mandelson, Straw and Levy in power, Snow hardly has to worry about being accused of glorifying Israeli terrorism. Indeed, he'd be worried about losing his job if he didn't.
There are lots of places to learn the full truth about Israeli war crimes, and Channel Four News IS NOT ONE OF THEM. ITN wins because browsing the net is all to often seen as anti-social for people in a family situation. The answer is to give up the addiction to TV news. Disconnect the tube that pumps Blair's vile propaganda straight into your brain. When you need to learn about current affairs, train yourself to seek out the information yourself via the net. You will still find the racist garbage from the BBC and ITN there, but you will now be your own editor, and no trained racist propagandist will be able to use verbal tricks in the delivery of the race-hate propaganda.
Myself, I never watch TV news for news, merely to analyse the current level and methods of black propaganda. I find that even then, I can take it in only the smallest of doses (I feel physically ill if I am exposed to more than a few minutes of the most disgusting attempted manipulation- its like watching a would-be rapist trying to chat-up a woman in a nightclub).
