THE ONLY WAY FORWARD AFTER GAZA WAR IS TO BUILD A NEW LEADERSHIP

 

 

There was NO Palestinian Arab nationalist consciousness at all.

 

Sha’o ben-Tekoa (Phantom Nation Inventing the Palestinians as the Obstacle to Peace) shows this very conclusively and he uses the writings of Khalidi to do so. The fact that he can use him is most telling.

 

Sha’o ben-Tekoa goes on to document the two occasions which are of note. It was the founding of newspapers.

 

The first was a newspaper called “el Karmil” in 1908. Rashidi called it the first “Palestinian” paper.

 

The name of that newspaper does not refer to any nation. Sha’o ben-Tekoa claims it is the name of a hill!!!

 

Sha’o ben-Tekoa also points out this was 45 years after the first Zionist paper. But more important than that is that no Arabs were calling themselves “Palestinians” (period we talk about here is the run up to World War 1) so how can Rashidi call it the first “Palestinian” consciousness. This is magic making.

 

In this book Sha’o ben-Tekoa is quite relentless in exposing this word “Palestinian” or “Palestinians”. This is only a sample. I feel this is needed and is a guide to the way forward.

 

There is often much talk about “Hasbara”. But Hasbara is very difficult for people, like Netanyahu, who have compromised their principles and accepted the “Palestinian” Arab State idea.

 

This in turn points to the type of leadership that needs to be built in Israel to lead in the coming battles, the present leaders in the Gaza War having proved totally useless.

 

Back to Sha’o ben-Tekoa … It looks to me that the Jews were building their country, building their “Palestine”

 

The Arabs were reacting to this.

 

Can we pause and internalise that word…Reacting…Not an authentic deep rooted nationalism.

 

They began to organise but against this building of the Zionist “Palestine”, or any country (name being immaterial) (At the same time immigrants flocking in to follow the industry and jobs created plus higher standard of living)

 

After that first newspaper…Three years later “Falastin” was launched but not by Muslims by Christians, that is Christian Arabs.

 

They were copying the Zionists, the Christian West and the Jews, who were alone using the name Palestine. Falastine is the Arab corruption of the name.

 

The whole book and life work by Sha’o ben-Tekoa is a bit of a jewel for those who are fighting to prick the balloon of this phenomenon, a “tall story” repeated millions of times. There is another major “tall story” and that is the Srebrenica “Massacre”.

 

These are the new Fascist Media centres sharpening their teeth.

 

There is no leadership whatsoever in Israel. There are all kinds of groups and individuals. But explore their politics and they are massively unprepared.

 

Look at some of them: Over this weekend Frontpagemag is lining up against the Russian Ukrainian anti-Fascists and by the way lining up with the Obama US and EU pro-Fascists.

 

Look also at Steven Plaut. Plaut has put forward 40 or so points and they have been liked. But Plaut is an explicit hater of Trotskyism, meaning me and us, that is everything on this blog 4international.

 

These are hardly small issues. How can there be a leadership that can lead in the stress of revolutionary and counter revolutionary events.

 

I stress it is not possible.

 

4international is a big fan of this book by Sha’o ben-Tekoa (Phantom Nation). I am not saying that we agree on political programme. I am saying that his research on this issue has got a lot of valuable things to contemplate.

 

The way to deal with George Galloway, an old and bankrupt political person, is not to smack his jaw, but to challenge the ideology, not as an individual initiative but in the course of training a new leadership.

 

That is the way we work. It is political struggle first and foremost, a political awakening.

 

POOR PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BEHEADED BY ISIL AND ALL OBAMA CAN DO IS PLAY GOLF

 

 

Obama says the US does not have a strategy to defeat ISIS.

 

This is happening according to a summary by http://www.debka.com

 

“Cameron warned that, while there was much talk about the threat to Europe of returning home-grown Islamists, “IS is already here.” The return of at least 500 people from fighting in Syria and Iraq “for Islamic State extremists attempting to establish a caliphate” represented a “greater and deeper threat to our security than we have known before.”

 

New laws, said the British premier, would make it easier to take passports away from people traveling abroad to join the conflict.

 

Announcing the elevation of the UK terror threat from “substantial” to “severe,” Cameron cited the example of the British Islamist who took part in the beheading of the American journalist James Foley on Aug. 18.

 

He also confirmed that Al Qaeda’s Islamic State perpetrated the May 24 attack on the Jewish Museum of Brussels, in which the Israeli couple, Emanuel and Miriam Riva, was murdered  – as further evidence that Islamist terror was already loose on the streets of Europe.

 

He was the first prominent world leader to assign the Brussels attack to Al Qaeda, which Israeli officials have so far avoided doing.

 The “severe” threat level was imposed in the UK only twice before: in 2006 after the discovery of liquid bombs aimed at airliners and when, the following year, extremists attempted to bomb Glasgow Airport and London’s West End.

 

Friday, IS released another indescribable video showing the beheading of a Kurdish soldier among 15 captured Peshmerga in orange boiler suits, who were grouped before a Mosul mosque. It was labeled “2nd Message to America” and threatened to execute the entire group if Iraqi Kurdistan continued to cooperate with the United States.

 

Just a few hours earlier, footage was shown of the mass execution of 300 Syrian soldiers forced to run through the desert in their underwear. They were said to have been taken prisoner at the Syrian air base of Tabqa.

 Those barbaric scenes were flashed across the world by international media.

 Less noticed was the video tape released on Thursday, Aug. 28, by Al Qaeda’s Sinai branch, Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, which showed the beheading of four local citizens and their admission that they had collaborated with Israeli intelligence to identify targets for Egyptian and Israeli air raids. This tape runs 30 minutes.

 

Egyptian security sources said the four had been abducted Tuesday near the northern Sinai town of Sheikh Zuwaid.

 And not far away, in the Gaza Strip, Hamas last week summarily executed 29 alleged collaborators with Israeli intelligence, three of them women, and seven in a public square.

 

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has characterized Hamas as belonging to the same family of murderous extremists as the Islamic State. Israel did indeed fight a limited, inconclusive war on the Palestinian fundamentalists, but no order has gone out for an operation to rescue the 43 Fiji members of the UN Disengagement Observer Force, who were abducted by the Syrian Al Qaeda Nusra Front just 150 meters from its Golan border.”

 

A case can be made that golf acts as therapy for this US president Obama. Obama is at the same time as being paralysed a creature of Jew Hatred being a disciple of Rashid Khalidi

 

(Wikipedia description of Khalidi “Rashid Ismail Khalidi (Arabic: رشيد خالدي‎; born 1948) is an American historian of the Middle East, the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University,^[1] and director of the Middle East Institute of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs. He also is known for serving as editor of the scholarly journal Journal of Palestine Studies.”)

 

NOBODY CAME CLOSER TO THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA

The connection of Obama to Bill Ayers and the weathermen is dealt with in an historic 3 part series by Jared Israel:

 

“In defending himself from attack, Obama and his campaign have made statements to the media and in Obama’s own “Fact Check on Obama and Ayers,” on his campaign website.  40% of Obama’s “Fact Check” consists of media and various VIPs saying it is no big deal that Obama worked with Ayers.  These statements mean as much as the blurbs on the back of a mystery novel – obviously they wouldn’t be published unless they said what Obama wanted, so what do they prove?  In the remaining 60% of the “Fact Check,” Obama a) states his core defense for working with Ayers and b) defends Ayers by portraying him and the Weathermen as having been excessive – even violent – in pursuit of their ideals, but not murderous, and, at least in the case of Ayers, of having changed into model citizens. This is the interesting part, for I have found that a) Obama’s core defense for working with Ayers is based on a lie about the Weathermen in which Obama covers up for murder and b) the rest of Obama’s defense of Ayers and the Weathermen is rife with deception and deceit as well.

This is a serious charge. Let’s take a look.”

Obama was placed into power essentially by the Media and by a whole splurge of political interests that have this Palestinian Arab “thing” at its centre.

 

That is the great lesson of the Khalidi tape. See in this article how this issue of the tape is belittled by such interests. It is hard to know who these people like this work for. All you can do is read them and wonder.

The conspiracy theorists seem to think The Times holds the video with relish. Perhaps the staff gathers for a nightly viewing parties, chortling with glee as we watch a band of unreformed leftists, say, smoking the hookah with the future president.

 

So back to the picture on the top of this article. Obama was placed into power by very definite interests. Once there it is not imposible but is nevertheless very hard to do anything about it. He has the power of the state in his hands.

 

Obama has lined up to defend the Muslim Brotherhood especially in Ivory Coast, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria

 

On every similar situation he has been absolutely and totally consistent. Now when the lives of Syrians, Kurds, por Iraqi minorities like the Azedia and Christians, and Iraqi and Syrian soldiers, are on the line, and one step away from massive massacres

 

…Obama plays a role playing golf and explaining how complex is the situation.

 

Interestingly that is the same political line now being put about by strange people such as Bernard Ross on Israpundit comments section

 

The lesson these folk like Bernard Ross put about is that Israel is essentially a eunuch and cannot ever take control.

 

As against these 4international say that the American people must to save themselves depose Obama and replace him with a new leader who will fight ISIS and save so many minorities who are in danger of being massacred through beheading.

 

Jews should waken up to Obama and role in Ukraine. Note that the Muslims always oppose anything to do with communism. Here Obama acts like a Muslim communist hater and as an American communist hater, very convenient for Obama, he and others use war on Russia (a nuclear war mind) as escape valve for bankruptcy on ISIS

 

Similarly Netanyahu must be deposed at once because he allows Hamas to continue to rule and to threaten Israel. If Hamas falls then Abbas will fall too. It depends on who leads the Israeli state. Netanyahu must go.

 

BRITAIN RIPE FOR REVOLUTION!

Britain is crying out  for a new leadership because Labour and Tories are in the same boat with Labour being marginally worse because Labour produced a George Galloway. Quite a feat!

 

UKIP is not that leadership because its leader Nigel Farage refused to unite with French anti-Jihadists. That tells all!

 

It has to be emphasised that this Palestinian Arab lies marrative lies behind just about everything today.

 

THAT is what 4international will concentrate on!

 

OBAMA IS THE TRAITOR TO ALL AMERICANS

 

CIA expert: Obama switched sides in war on terror  

Facebook

I KNOW AND HAVE WORKED WITH CLARE LOPEZ IN FIGHTING THE MB AND OBAMA AND IN SUPPORTING KURDISH INDEPENDENCE. TED BELMAN

By Garth Kant, WND

August 29, 2014

 

Absolutely vital article

the “Fascist left” is hiding this stuff. They are not socialists they are the enemy of socialism!

 

This is carried by Jewish patriot Ted Belman on his blog Israpundit and he sees the enormous implication of this article

 

This is gigantic. Netanyahu KNEW that he would be fighting not only Hamas in Gaza but the Obama Regime. Netanyahu flunked that battle and he should not have/did not need to because in taking over Gaza completely Netanyahu would have the support of most of Congress and would have inspired MOST Americans

 

This article fits right in with the latest Martin Sherman analysis that Netanyahu totally missed his opportunity to make history

WASHINGTON – It’s an explosive charge, one that practically accuses the president of treason.

A former CIA agent bluntly told WND, America has switched sides in the war on terror under President Obama.

Clare Lopez was willing to say what a few members of Congress have confided to WND in private, but declined to say on-the-record.

She said the global war on terror had been an effort to “stay free of Shariah,” or repressive Islamic law, until the Obama administration began siding with such jihadist groups as the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates.

Why the switch?

POLLS SHOW THE ISRAELI PEOPLE SEEK TO DITCH NETANYAHU AND AWAIT A NEW LEADERSHIP

Israel is in very serious danger and it is not only from the forces of Antisemitism but also from the poorness of leadership inside Israel and of the Israeli state. This is concentrated in the bumbling activity of Netanyahu in his leadership of the Israeli state. Netanyahu needs to be forced out of power but he operates a state dictatorship. His popularity has fallen from the 80s to the present 30s inside the weeks he has been running the Gaza War

 

By all mathematics if this was a democracy Netanyahu would have packed his bags but there is a clique in power in Israel which is separated from the masses of the people.

 

Last time I checked Netanyahu was a member of the Likud Party. The immediate question is why Likud has not expelled Netanyahu?

 

There is a big lesson here. The Likud also refused to expel Sharon when this petty punk decided to disregard the referendum HE called (back in 2005) and which (result of said referendum) opposed him down the line over Gaza Withdrawal.

 

The EXACT same position now holds.

 

Netanyahu and his flunkeys are calling the Gaza War as NOT A DEFEAT and that is the BIG LIE.

 

The Gaza War of 2014 has been an amazing defeat for Israel, for Jews and for all of us like 4international who place the defence of Israel at the forefront of our political work.

 

Ted Belman is a good guy who runs the blog Israpundit but Ted does not fight against these scumbags one of whom on his site (calling himself “Bernard Ross”) is spinning out this Netanyhau rubbish that the Gaza War has been a victory because it has prolonged the conflict between PA and Hamas

 

This is reactionary drivel brought into the Jewish movement by agents like Ross. Who cares if you are a proud Jew or supporter like I am, if they fight anong each other or not. That is not our concern. Our business is to smash up this whole Palestinian Arab Antisemitism in total and do it now, without delay.

 

Here is no solution other than to fight to smash these Antisemites and it is very wrong for Ted Belman of Israpundit not to tear this guy Bernard Ross apart for this ugly genuflection in front of Antisemitism.

 

The task now is very clear.

 

The Israeli people have shown in the only way that they can show that they thoroughly dislike Netanyahu and they do not swallow the Netanyahu propaganda as advanced by flunkeys like Bernard Ross.

 

The Israeli people have been voting in these polls against Netanyahu and everything he stands for.

 

But what are these great people to do? They have no leadership and flunkeys like this “Bernard Ross” continue their poison, aided by the silence of even patriots like Ted Belman.

 

The Likud which is the only leadership around continue to sit on their back sides and NOT EXPEL NETANYAHU

 

So what is Moyse Feiglin doing at this moment. Why is he in this Likud? Why in Likud is he not party to expelling of Netanyhau?

 

The same with Danny Dayon. And all of these who are saying they dislike what Netanyahu has done BUT KEEP NETANYHAU IN THEIR PARTY.

 

 

NOTE poison pumped in by Bernard Ross regular on Israpundit

 

Did the penny drop?

 this should be interesting if true, the more internal squabbling among them the better: the pal spring?

 

and

 

Unless Israel seeks to annex gaza permanently there is no gain to deposing hamas. Israel’s optimum position is the separation of gaza and PA west bank.

 

and

 

another reason why it is better to keep hamas than abbas /fatah. When abbas dies or retires fatah will choose a new leader and it can be this guy

 

Gaza Ceasefire: What Did Israel Agree to?

 

 

 

MAJOR DEFEAT FOR ISRAEL AND DANGER TO JEWS EVERYWHERE…BIBI MUST BE FORCED FROM POWER

August 2001 Sbarro pizza restaurant bombing in Jerusalem, in which 15 Israeli civilians were killed. Hamas said the attack was in response to Israel killing its officials, including two senior leaders.^[31

 

 

 

Yes it is the most serious defeat yet because Jews in all of Israel were/are in fear of Hamas rockets. Hamas still remains and the rockets remain. Netanyahu is a total traitor to the Jews. He is also a dictator based on the Israeli corrupt Supreme Court system which will clap any opponents to the evil Netanyahu regime and method of politics in jail (as happened under Sharon during the Gaza Withdrawal)

 

This defeat effects every Jew living in the Homeland, every Jew in the Diaspora who is more ad more threatened no matter where they live or secure they think they are (remember 1933), and also every socialist like is 4intenational who defends Israel.

 

Netanyahu is a total danger to all of us. But it is not just one person here. We are talking about a system of betrayal of Jews that essentially has its roots in the Labour Party ISM of Ben Gurion, in the crimes of Stalinism which was carried into Israel by MAPAI, and by the lack of theory and anti-Marxism of the opposition under Jabotinski and Begin. That period of betrayal coincided with the murder of Leon Trotsky (great advocate of the Israel to be in the 30s) in 1940 and with literally the wiping out of the whole of the Young Trotskyists (cadre) around Leon Trotsky, including his son and key operative Leon Sedov

 

But the first step is to remove Netanyahu in the present because we live in the present. Every Jew no matter where they are must stop hiding and must come out and call this deal of Netanyahu as being a TOTAL AND COMPLETE BETRAYAL OF THE JEWISH NATION AND OF ALL PROGRESSIVE ANTI-FASCIST PEOPLES. Hamas is indeed Fascist

 

Extract from http://www.debka.com

 

This dichotomy leaves Israelis increasingly confused and uncertain about how to conduct their lives, especially in the areas closest to the Gaza Strip, which have been largely depopulated by non-stop Hamas short-range rocket and mortar fire.

The theory found a champion this week in an unexpected quarter: Khaled al-Batsh, one of the top men of Islamic Jihad, the pro-Iranian Palestinian terrorist movement which is Hamas’ most active partner in the offensive against Israel.

He suddenly announced he was in favor of a truce.

Lest he be suspected of overnight conversion to peace-lover, DEBKAfile’s intelligence services turns to another hidden aspect of the Gaza conflict for an explanation: The Palestinian group’s patrons, Iran and Hizballah, are working hard to paint their ally Syrian President Bashar Assad as the only force in the Middle East capable of fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria – IS. If their proposition is accepted, they will reciprocate by bringing about a halt in the Gaza hostilities. They would also be able to show themselves in the light of the real forces of peace and moderation in the region.

The Media Intifada: Bad Math, Ugly Truths About New York Times In Israel-Hamas War

 

Here is a sampling of what the Times, and the media in general, feel is not fit to print:

 

*** Proof of the use by Hamas of civilians as human shields has finally been ably exposed by reporters for media outlets in Finland, France, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, and others—but not by news organizations with greater resources at hand such as BBC, CNN, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and numerous others. (A too-brief exception: the Washington Post.) Sadly, the Associated Press has failed dismally.  As for Reuters, in 2011, its new editor-in-chief, Stephen Adler, promised to bolster the newswire’s enterprise reporting. In some ways he has, but its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to be weak and riddled with falsities.

 

*** In late 2012, during Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza, I examined the Facebook page of Fares Akram—the most important Gaza-based reporter for the New York Times. His profile photo was not of himself, but of PLO leader Arafat.  A second photo, still in his album, waxes poetically about Arafat in the context of “heights by great men.”  But Arafat, among many things as the longtime leader of the Palestinians (the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre comes to mind), opted for the Second Intifada in 2000, rather than accept a generous peace offer from Israel.  Before he died, he said on TV that dead Palestinian children are good for the cause. In 2009, following an Israeli air strike that tragically killed his father and a cousin, Akram wrote that “I am finding it hard to distinguish between what the Israelis call terrorists and the Israeli pilots and tank crews who are invading Gaza.” Akram, a Palestinian resident of Gaza, has also published more than a dozen dispatches for Al Jazeera, parallel to his Times reporting, since the war began last month.

 

.

*** Now more than ever, it is incumbent on our mainstream media community to scrutinize Al Jazeera America, the TV news network that is working hard to gain a foothold in American living rooms. Many big-name U.S. journalists have been lured there—the latest, Pulitzer Prize-winning business journalist David Cay Johnston (long at the New York Times)—despite the fact that it’s owned by the dictatorship of Qatar, which funds Hamas and gives shelter today to the terror group’s top leaders. Few major reporters in the U.S. will publicly discuss this Al Jazeera America-Hamas connection. Perhaps some of them want to keep their future job prospects open, given the turmoil and cutbacks in the traditional media world—and the fat paychecks that Al Jazeera America is dispensing.

 

“Al Jazeera is the long hand of the regime of Qatar that abuses its endless resources in order to support and fund terror organizations all over the globe, including al-Qaeda, says Kobi Michael, who served until recently as Deputy Director General of Israel’s Ministry of Strategic Affairs (where he also ran the Palestinian desk.) “They use Al Jazeera in order to destabilize the moderate Arab regimes by encouraging and supporting political Islam.”

 

*** The arithmetic of civilian casualties in Gaza is one of the principal media crimes in this war.  It became obvious weeks ago that major Western journalists routinely swallowed the huge civilian-casualty figures dished out to them by Gaza’s Ministry of Health, a bureaucratic arm of a terrorist group that was shown to have lied about such figures in past wars.  In some cases, reporters cite numbers instead from the United Nations, which gets its numbers from—surprise—the Hamas ministry, a dubious source of information, akin to relying on the Reich Health Office for German civilian-casualty statistics during World War II.  On many occasions, major American news outlets haven’t bothered to even attribute the numbers to either the ministry or the UN—simply reporting as fact that “most,” or “the majority” or the “vast majority” of casualties in Gaza are civilians.

 

 

 

 

At the very least, readers or viewers should be told by those reporters (or their editors/producers) to take the figures with some salt.  Meanwhile, Israel’s best research institute on the subject, the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, is to this day all but ignored by Western media.  And yet they are the only independent outfit that takes the time to match the names of the dead with known terrorists. Their results thus far (with 450 deaths analyzed) show that approximately half are civilians. Based on prior wars with Hamas, it’s highly likely that, in the final analysis, the majority of the dead will have been terrorist operatives.

 

When the first 72-hour ceasefire (broken by Hamas) began on August 5th, the New York Times quickly tried to play catch-up with reality by posting an “analysis” that day about the reliability of casualty figures.  (It was also published on the newspaper’s front page on August 6th.)  The Meir Amit center was mentioned in passing, not given the depth its numbers deserved, and by then the damage had already been long done by the newspaper, which had doggedly advanced the Hamas narrative in its news and editorial pages.

 

 *** Crossing over to Britain, the reports and dispatches of one of that country’s top newsmen (Jon Snow, known as “the face of Channel 4 News”) is a parody of journalism, and arguably is helping to fuel the tide of Israel- and Jew-hatred that is sweeping Britain and Europe.  His Twitter feed is said to be the most popular among UK news hosts.

.

CIVILIAN SHIELDS?  WHAT CIVILIAN SHIELDS?

 

On July 27th, I spoke at length with a reporter in Gaza who is covering the war for a major, highly respectable U.S. media outlet that has enormous resources.   Regrettably, the reporter insisted on not being named, as his company wouldn’t permit it.  Our talk took place just as Gaza-based reporters for smaller, non-English-speaking media outlets were beginning to reveal proof that Hamas was using civilian centers (such as schools, hospitals, dense residential neighborhoods—even the main hotel in Gaza City where reporters are staying) as rocket-launching sites.

 

 

 

 

Q:   Israel received severe condemnation from many world leaders after a strike on Al-Shifa, Gaza City’s largest hospital. [Evidence is now showing that it was actually an errant Hamas missile that hit it.]   Are Hamas leaders and fighters using it as a base for operations?

 

A:  It’s not the fighters who are there, and they’re not using the hospital to launch rockets from, they’re using it to see media. These are Hamas spokesmen [at the hospital], not leaders.  This is also something that has not been understood fully.  There are probably a couple of reasons [for holding press conferences there].  It’s a safe place. Israel doesn’t kill spokespeople. Also, it’s a good place to get journalists, as we’re passing through the hospital, since that’s where the bodies are coming in.  It’s a place journalists have to go anyway.

 

 This has been a brilliant strategy by Hamas, although any skeptical reporter would have seen through it—and a couple did.  Why are press conferences being held in a hospital, as opposed to another location such as the main hotel where they stay?   Surely, hotels are also fine places for Hamas to “get journalists” to come to.

 

 

Clearly, Hamas wants the reporters to have to see the dead and injured on a regular basis if they want access to spokespeople.  It safely gives lazy reporters a constant stream of tragedies to write about.  A seasoned reporter would have surmised that this could be the perfect location for Hamas’s leaders to operate from, especially below the first floor.  And, in fact, that is what happened.

 

Moreover, this was nothing new.  In 2006, PBS’s Wide Angle aired a documentary showing how gunmen move through the corridors of that hospital, intimidate the staff, and deny them access to protected locations inside the facility—where the camera crew was forbidden from filming.

The Media Intifada: Bad Math, Ugly Truths About New York Times In Israel-Hamas War

 

NETANYAHU MUST BE REMOVED! A NEW LEADERSHIP TO WIN THIS WAR AND ELIMINATE ANTISEMITISM!

 

No matter how you cut it the Netanyahu approach to war on Hamas does not succeed and has not succeeded.

 

Felix Quigley leader of 4international says…Everything comes back to Netanyahu and the aims of the Israeli elite who do not want to fight and who do not any longer know how to fight. The first step in the war had to be to conquer Gaza City in the first couple of days and force all of the population towards the south, thereby splitting this tiny strip into two. Given one full day to evacuate and move south then artillery bombardment to level this total northern area and breeding ground of Antisemitism to the ground. Then Israel’s brave and precious troops of the IDF move in. The área of the tiny Gaza strip is thereby reduced by half awaiting the next move which will entail clearing the área of Antisemitism, and welcoming those Arabs who love the Jewish state, welcoming them as guests of the Jewish state.

 

The Netanyahu approach leaves the Hamas to continue their existence. This is based on the Netanyahu idea that the existence of Hamas prevents a Palestine seeking government (of Palestinian Arabs) to be effective.

 

Such total negativity from a proud nation of 3500 years standing is imposible to believe!

 

Netanyahu reasons that if there was such a movement then given the backing of the whole world, which includes all countries of the West even including Canada!, and includes all countries of the Arab world even including Egypt and the Saudis, with the Stalinists thrown in of China and Russia (importance not slight) with the latter dragging behind them a Stalinist “left” in the west THEN HE COULD NOT RESIST that force.

 

THAT FORCE IS REALLY WORLD ANTISEMITISM

 

So the whole line of Netanyahu is to not put Hamas out of operation, that is make it cease to exist, as in “dead parrot” fame

 

Thus every action of the IDF and IAF under this type of Israeli leadership is designed NEVER to smash Hamas, but to teach it a lesson. It is reasoned that Hamas has in the past kept a kind of peace, that is it did not fire rockets for stretches of time, and at the same time as not firing rockets then it continues to drive Hajj Amin el Husseini style its Jew Hatred.

 

Both practically and morally more holes in this than in a sieve!

 

This kind of thinking and approach is actually why Netanyahu must go and as soon as possible

 

4international is totally opposed to the argument that because Israel is in a war then it is no time to look for new leaders.

 

In actual fact it is the perfect time to look for new leaders and the most decisive action in this war is to replace Netanyahu and Ya’alon types and to have a new small but collective leadership which will have as its aim the total destruction of Hamas and the rule of the Israeli state over Gaza, which will immediately open a whole new set of possibilities all of them beneficial, foremost of which will be state action to eliminate Antisemitism out of Gaza, an area in which Jews have always been associated with and is mentioned in the Bible for such association.

 

There can be no place in Gaza for Antisemitism. Any measures both repressive as well as humanitarian are good towards that end. THE END ALWAYS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS AND OFTEN ALSO POINTS TOWARDS THE PROPER MEANS. The end here is to eliminate Antisemitism.

 

A noble aim! An all encompassing aim!

 

Plus this is an excellent aim to disseminate widely in the west. Who could disagree on the aim of eliminating Antisemitism!?

 

What kind of “new leadership” though???

 

It is impossible to say but if in every regard it is the opposite of the Netanyahu approach. If so we are on a good road!

 

Netanyahu is secretive and is cut off from the masses of Israelis. It is likely his wife over breakfast cereals has a bigger role to play…it is that absurd. I mean who else if not her!

 

This is a nation which creates Nobel Prize winners galore but yet this setup is running the state! Truly bizarre!

 

Netanyahu not only does not encourage or lead discussion among the masses of Jews he actually emininates it in short measure, as his sacking of poor Danny Dayon showed, and not enough attention was given to that disgrace, an absence of attention which highlights how far the rot has set in.

 

We are all tired of Netanyahu waiting on Obama and his end of 8 horrible years in January 2017. There are demographic changes afoot in America and the next may be even worse than Obama.

 

If all of Israel including Judea and Samaria is about the size of Leinster then Gaza is about half the size of Louth, the smallest county out of 32 in my own small island of Ireland. It is tiny. Conquer it. Tell the Israeli people why. Explain our aims of eliminating Antisemitism, discuss the issue of means and ends, a philosophical issue. Discuss these issues everywhere inside the Israeli people.

 

This will then automatically disseminate into the IDF where the IDF middle ranks leaders, those who fight on the front lines, will be able to sack generals and appoint new ones, that is fighting and clued in generals WITHOUT DOGMA who also will be on the front line as in 67.

 

The IDF and Netanyahu too have done good and commendable things in the war so far. But it is all turned into its opposite (the opposite of good is evil!) by not having a strategy to defeat Hamas and by overlooking Israeli state rule to root out Antisemitism.

 

I read all the stuff! I have seen nobody but this good self to put this forward.

 

But I am a Trotskyist and I propose building a Trotskyist leadership. Of course this is not sectarian and I will work with all friends. But will they, with us?

 

REMOVE NETANYAHU NOW!

END ANTISEMITISM IN GAZA! (THE KEY DEMAND ON WHICH ALL ELSE CENTRES AND FROM WHICH ALL ELSE FLOWS)

 

PROMULGATE IDEAS OF VICTORY EVERYWHERE WITH THE WIDEST DISCUSSION POSSIBLE!

GEORGE GALLOWAY ENEMY OF THE JEWS AND FALSIFIER OF KARL MARX

 

George Galloway is essentially a Stalinist hater of Israel which is the Homeland of the Jewish people.

 

George Galloway says that “the entire State of Israel is an illegitimate enterprise”.

 

If the British state were a true state and not a dhimmi state then they would charge Galloway on hate crimes for this statement

 

From Breitbart.com … “Galloway, who just last week called for his constituency in Bradford to boycott Israeli products, academics, and even tourists, took his vicious rhetoric to another level today, implying that he believed the Jewish State should no longer exist at all.

 

He began and ended his speech with the traditional Muslim greeting of ‘As-salamu alaykum’, which means ‘Peace be upon you’.

 

He said in a speech to the crowd:

 

“Here’s the whole truth… the entire State of Israel is a completely illegitimate enterprise. It was founded on somebody else’s land.

 

“It’s simple… so far as what they call Israel is concerned… No recognition. No normalisation.

 

“Just boycott, boycott, boycott. As-salamu alaykum.”

 

ANSWER OF 4INTERNATIONAL TO GALLOWAY

4international has one answer to Galloway and that is that Israel is completely a legitimate country for very many reasons which lie both in ancient history and in contemporary politics.

 

Galloway claims to be a Marxist but even here Galloway has to lie about Karl Marx who paid an important visit to Jerusalem as part of his work as a reporter for a newspaper.

 

Galloway says that Jews took over the area of Palestine from the Arabs. So therefore Israel is illegal.

 

But the answer to this is that Jews have lived in this area of the world for 3500 years as a nation. HG Wells is a major figure in English history and in English literature and he said that when Jews returned from the exile in Babylon that they were the finished article, being a complete nation, united behind a conscious history (their Bible). HG Wells knew that the Bible is not just religion but it is also a history of a people.

 

Jews have always lived in this part of the world. There is great proof of this in the report of Karl Marx written in 1853. What Marx found and wrote about most objectively is that in 1853 there was a majority of Jews in Jerusalem and that these Jews in Jerusalem in 1853 outnumbered Muslims by 2 to 1.

 

Note my dear Jewish friends and my dear progressive friends of all religions that statement by Karl Marx based on an actual visit to Jerusalem in 1853 is NOT the narrative of George Galloway today

 

That (majority of Jews in Jerusalem 1853) was not a sudden process. If Jews were that majority in 1853 then they were also a majority in 1800 and since these things move slowly also in say 1750

 

I trace my own ancestors in Ireland to 1770, that is an ancestor I can put a name (personality) to. Why does Galloway not dispute my right to live in Ireland!!!??? But he does with the Jews and with Israel their Homeland.

 

In doing so Galloway has to trample over history and in this case the history of the Karl Marx visit to Jerusalem.

 

The full article is on

 

This is an extract and here jared Israel the author is commenting on what Marx wrote. It is important because Jared makes the important point that long before the Zionist Congresses Jews were in Palestine and in the cities were there in large numbers. This is a most important answer to Galloway and shows how Galloway falsifies history, falsifies the story, and creates a new and false story. Galloway cannot proceed without that revision of history. But note, here he is revising Karl Marx. For us on the real and true left that is important to realise and internalise:

 

Notice that in 1853, 44 years before the first Zionist convention in Basel, Marx wrote that there were twice as many Jews as Moslems in Jerusalem.

 

According to Marx, the Jews were there because their passion for Jerusalem was so great it overcame their  horror at how they were treated: “…the constant objects of Mussulman oppression and intolerance, insulted by the Greeks, persecuted by the Latins…”

 

EXTRACT FROM WHAT MARX WROTE

 

“[Quote from Marx starts here]

 

 “The Mussulmans, forming about a fourth part of the whole, and consisting of Turks, Arabs and Moors, are, of course, the masters in every respect, as they are in no way affected with the weakness of their Government at Constantinople. Nothing equals the misery and suffering of the Jews at Jerusalem, inhabiting the most filthy quarter of the town, called hareth-el-yahoud, this quarter of dirt  between  Mount  Zion and Mount  Moriah, where their synagogues are situated – the constant objects of Mussulman oppression and intolerance, insulted by the Greeks, persecuted by the Latins and living only upon the scanty alms transmitted by their European brethren. The Jews, however, are not natives, but from distant and different countries, and are only attracted to Jerusalem by the desire of inhabiting the Valley of Jehosophat and to die in the very places where their Redemptor is to be expected.

 

‘Attending their death,’ says a French author, ‘they suffer and pray. Their regards turned to that mountain of Moriah, where once rose the temple of Solomon, and which they dare not approach, they shed tears on the misfortunes of Zion, and their dispersion over the world.'”[2]

 

 [Quote from Marx ends here]

 

NOTE GEORGE GALLOWAY THAT IS FROM THE SCIENTIFIC REPORT OF KARL MARX AND HIS 1853 VISIT to the historical city of the Jews Jerusalem

 

4international stand in total and complete hostility to George Galloway. Galloway is the enemy of all progressives.

 

Galloway has a lot of support among certain ignorant branches of peoples. But Galloway had no real following in the working class of Britain either and he had to leave the Labour Party and ended up following the Muslim vote in Bradford.

 

In that sense Galloway represents the severe crisis in Britain where there is now a Muslim ISIS membership, as we speak creating such consternation in many circles because a British Muslim with a London accent beheaded an American journalist without mercy.

 

There is thus clearly a link between Galloway and the Islamisation of Britain.

 

At another time we will show the real position of Karl Marx towards Muslims and Islam. It is not Galloway’s! Galloway is exposed and beaten on all fronts today! We just need an effective organisation on the left to carry through this thorough exposure.

PS

 

” And they were all held together by the Bible and by the reading of the Bible. Jerusalem was from the first only their nominal capital; their real city was this book of books. This is a new sort of thing in history. It is something of which the seeds were sown long before, when the Sumerians and Egyptians began to turn their hieroglyphics into writing. The Jews were a new thing, a people without a king and presently without a temple (for as we shall tell Jerusalem itself was broken up in 70 A.D.), held together and consolidated out of heterogeneous elements by nothing but the power of the written Word.”

HAMAS/FATAH WAR ON JEWS YESTERDAY…NOW TO FIGHT JEWS MUST REMOVE NETANYAHU…IS NO OTHER OPTION

 

4international and some Israeli campaigners were quite clear and quite prescient. We said that the Netanyahu/Ya’alon led war on Gaza had not solved a single issue for the Jews of Israel. So it has proved.

 

ISRAEL HIT YESTERDAY BY OVER 50 ROCKETS, ALL OVER, HITTING ALSO JERUSALEM AND TEL AVIV

 

4international went further than Martin Sherman and all other commentators. We said that the first step was to remove Netanyahu from power because every minute that he is in power in Israel he causes great danger to the Jews and to the Jewish state. Sherman who 4international likes a lot did not say that. On a political basis we 4international are fearless and truthful.

 

Netanyahu must be removed at once because he entered this war leading and promoting a lie. Some thought he was (somehow) fighting Hamas. No not really. Netanyahu was fighting and wasting Israeli lives in order to convince Hamas and Fatah to moderate their views.

 

But as 4international argued on a radio programme yesterday against a variety of people, one being a former ABC head reporter, the Palestinian Arab movement emerged as the work of a Nazi, Hajj Amin el Husseini, who was just as bad as Hitler, Himmler and Eichmann, and was not just as bad but worse.

 

This position of utter and cruel Jew Hatred comes out of the Koran and is central in all branches of Islam.

 

It was from that independent Islamic position that Hajj Amin el Husseini joined with the Nazis in carrying out the Holocaust.

 

Soon George Galloway will be speaking in the ancient city of Belfast a city which has a true revolutionary history rooted in the French Revolution.

 

But Galloway is not a communist. He is a Stalinist Hack. Galloway has got no right to speak in the great city of Henry Joy McCracken.

 

4international has said and will continue to say that Israel is the Jewish Homeland and that only Jews because of this world Antisemitism can live there.

 

As long as there are Arabs there they will attack Israel and attack Jews.

 

The only alternative is for Israel to take over these areas and to root out all signs of Antisemitism.

 

It is a simple demand with great implications.

 

Concretely it means that the Martin Sherman idea of enabling the Arabs who want to leave to do so.

 

It also means welcoming all Arabs who are true friends of Israel. Such friends will help Israel but will NOT accept being citizens. They are friends and guest.

 

To do that is needed a fighting leadership. That is why Netanyahu and Ya’alon must be removed from power NOW.

 

They cannot lead a struggle to win this war.

Israel leaders’ stubborn belief in Hamas’ desire for war’s end led the country back to war

 

DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis August 19, 2014, 12:09 AM (IDT)

 

Tags:  Gaza,   rocket fire,   Hamas terror,   Binyamin Netanyahu,   Moshe Yaalon,

 

 

Israeli air strikes against Hamas rockets

Israeli air strikes against Hamas rockets

 

 

.Most Israelis were stunned Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 19, when rocket fire suddenly erupted from the Gaza Strip against Beersheba and Netivot, after they had been lulled into a sense of false security by the suspension of Hamas attacks for 135 hours. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon sent the air force straight back into action to bomb “terror targets’ across the Gaza Strip, and recalled Israel’s negotiators from the indirect talks taking place with Hamas in Cairo through Egyptian intermediaries.

 

After a month of tough fighting and painful losses, Israelis were aghast to find themselves dumped back in the same old routine, which their leaders had vowed Operation Defensive Edge would end once and for all.

 

By midnight Hamas had fired around 50 rockets in a steady stream across most of Israel, including Greater Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

 

So what went wrong?

debkafile reports that, as recently as Monday, Aug. 18, a senior intelligence source asserted that Netanyahu and Ya’alon were satisfied with the Cairo talks, because their outcome would refute their critics, ministers and security chiefs alike, by bringing Hamas to its knees.

 Asked how this would come about, the source repeated the mantra heard day after day during the fighting: Hamas is looking for a way out of the conflict and wants to end hostilities, he explained. That is what we are banking on.

 

AMAN chief Maj.Gen. Aviv Kochavi is believed by some cabinet sources to be the author of this prescription, to which the prime minister and defense minister have stubbornly adhered, against all the evidence to the contrary. They therefore held back from inflicting a final defeat on the Palestinian fundamentalists.

 Even the pro-diplomacy Justice Minister Tzipi Livni faulted them by warning repeatedly that negotiating with terrorists was a bad mistake. You have to fight them and beat them hollow, she said.

 

 Yet each time Hamas violated a ceasefire – and it happened six times in all – there was the excuse that its leaders were divided against themselves, and the heads of the Gaza faction were reasonable and logical individuals who would prefer to stop firing rockets at the Israeli population – if only it was only up to them.

 Even when the rockets started falling Tuesday around Beersheba, Netivot, Ashkelon, Shear Hanegev and the Eshkol district, some knowledgeable Israelis were still saying that Hamas knew nothing about it.

 However, Netanyahu and Ya’alon are not about to change course, athough it is obvious even to them that they have led the country into the blind alley of a war of attrition. They seem to be operating on a different level from Hamas – and even from the general Israeli population, which is sick and tired of the uncertainty and on the verge of kicking back at its leaders.

 Last Saturday, 30,000 demonstrators from southern Israel and their many sympathizers turned out in Rabin Square, Tel Aviv, to make sure the government understood that their tolerance for the same old routine was at an end and the military must be allowed to root out the Hamas peril once and for all.

 A sense of defiance is palpable in the streets of towns within regular rocket range from the Gaza Strip and even farther afield. Contrary to orders from the IDF Home Command, directions to open shelters have been issued by the mayors of Ashkelon, Ashdod, Rehovot, Rishon Lezion, Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Gedera, Kiryat Malachi, Sderot, Netivot and Beersheba. Some have cancelled public events and entertaiments.

 

Parents of places next door to the Gaza Strip, who spent the summer holidays holed up indoors or away from home, now say they will not send their children to school at the start of the term in two weeks, if the present situation does not change radically.

 

ROLE OF BRITISH LABOUR TRAITORS AS ANTISEMITISM IN EUROPE DEEPENS

What is the Labour Party today in Britain? It is not Fascist but it is a facilitator of Fascism. It is the long fall of the Second International. Lenin and Trotsky were fighting these enemies of socialism all of their lives…most people are unaware of the history involved. It will take an organised party to make this plain.

It is at its most acute in its support of the Koran. Islam is the touchstone. The Labour Party is a mixture of political correctness and support for the Fascist ideology of Islam.

These are fascist facilitators and many will morph into becoming Fascists as the crisis deepens. This Labour Party will Split and sections will become the Stormtroopers of Britain.

Look at these people today in Britain: Cameron who bans Islam fighters Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer from entering Britain, Livingstone big fan of gay hating Qaradawi, Boris Johnson son of Catholic Fanatic writer Paul Johnson, Boris who switched to supporting Islam as a peaceful religión when a British soldier was beheaded in his city London.

And these ban Israel products Nazi Fascists are supporters of the Palestinian Arabs who are spawn of Hajj Amin el Husseini, who planned the Holocaust with Hitler, Himmler and Eichmann

SHABANA MAHMOOD

FRONTBENCH Labour MP Shabana Mahmood called on activists at the weekend to take direct action against British firms that do business with Israel — lauding the success of a Birmingham protest which shut down a Sainsbury’s branch for five-and-a-half hours.

Ms Mahmood, the party’s shadow exchequer secretary to the Treasury, made the plea at a 150,000-strong rally for solidarity with the people of Gaza on Saturday.

She told crowds in London’s Hyde Park: “Just as powerful as our passion is the practical action we can all take to make our government sit up and take notice.

She pleaded with demonstrators to support the boycott movement and to lobby their MPs.

She said: “We lay down in Sainsbury’s in Birmingham and closed down a store for five-and-a-half hours at peak time on a Saturday.

REMOVE NETANYAHU NOW. SEEK AN INDEPENDENT ISRAEL IF YOU WANT TO GO ON LIVING.

 

This takes my breath away. It is from debka which is a strange outfit but often gets its analysis correct but was used over the Syria supposed gas attack by the CIA and Israeli Intelligence. Obama is very dangerous, such a dangerous leader, and he is not alone in the US. Iran is the issue. Obama is fully in bed with the Iranian regime and has a big Alliance going with Iran even before the talks on Nuclear Disarmament by Iran has gone anywhere (and it will not as they all know) (That is most dangerous for Israel and for the whole of the world)

 

(start debka quote)

 

Obama’s cohorts in Baghdad are colluding with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei under the guise of battling the extremist Islamic State (IS, formerly IS) slashing its way through Iraq. The two powers plan to resolve Iraq’s crisis to their own benefit. To this end, Obama has granted Iran its rubber stamp and the status of a regional superpower – even before it inks a deal on a nuclear accord, which

Saudi Arabia and Israel, in particular, fear will turn out to be inimical to their strategic interests and national security.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia hit back by sending Sisi to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday August 12 in Sochi. They are inviting him to join the new alliance. It is too soon to say how far Netanyahu is willing to go in this direction.

So they are using ISIL and the question is did they also créate or at least arm ISIL?

 

The following report from World Tribune sounds very correct but there is a devious slant. This has nothing to do with former Yugoslavia or Serbs. This is NATO which destroyed and created these client states there called Croatia and Kosovo. This then should be headlined “NATO and Obama/Cameron armed ISIL”

Who armed ISIL? Former Soviet bloc nations aided by Turkey, sources say

Special to WorldTribune.com

MOSCOW — Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has received weapons shipments from the former East Bloc.

Diplomatic sources said ISIL has been ordering anti-tank weapons, rockets, mortars, body armor and communications through fronts in Europe. They said the weapons and equipment were being procured from such former Soviet allies as Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Ukraine.

“ISIL has used both U.S. weapons captured in Iraq, but mostly material supplied from the former East Bloc that was ordered more than a year ago,” a diplomat said, according to a report by Middle East Newsline.

On Aug. 12, a diplomatic source said the flow of ISIL weapons was aided by NATO, particularly Turkey. The source said NATO intelligence services were facilitating payment and arms shipments to and from Europe under the guise of humanitarian supplies to Syria.

“Western security services were responsible for choosing reliable arms suppliers from Western European countries for money transfers and transportation and delivery of deadly ‘humanitarian’ supplies to the Middle East,” the diplomatic source said.

The source told Russia’s state-owned RIA-Novosti news agency that ISIL began ordering weapons and military equipment in early 2013. The unidentified source said Croatia was supplying armored personnel carriers and rocket launchers while Romania was selling main battle tanks and Ukraine infantry fighting vehicles. He said Bulgaria was supplying munitions.

“The supplies were conducted starting in 2013, by firms that were created specifically for one or two deals,” RIA said. “The contracts for the deals had other countries and companies indicated as the final destination for the supplies.”

The sources said Turkey and the former Yugoslavia were playing a key role in arming ISIL. They said ISIL was aided by recruitment in Bosnia, Bulgaria and Kosovo for the wars in Iraq and Syria.

On Aug. 11, Kosovo arrested at least 40 suspected ISIL agents. Kosovo police also reported the seizure of ammunition and explosives in a raid of 60 targets across the former province of Yugoslavia. At least 200 Muslims from Kosovo were believed to have joined ISIL and Nusra Front for the Defense of Levant.

“Kosovo will not be a safe haven for extremism,” Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga said.

The following report from World Tribune (which again sounds spot on) suggests that US Imperialism in its death agony of capitalism has succeeded in creating total chaos in Iraq, thus facilitating the Iranian “End of Times” scenario, and facilitating Iran and the Caliphate as a worthy ally of US and British capitalism as it may slide into total economic meltdown. I have already mentioned the Netanyahu leadership and will do again, because this report suggests that there is a close unity betwee Hamas in Gaza, Hizbullah and Iran to the North of Israel and now the unmanageable Iraq to the East. The sea is to the west! Netanyahu as we said yesterday did not solve in the slightest the issue of the tunnels in Gaza running into Israel, and just watch what Netanyahu and Ya’alon will agree to with El Sisi (More on el Sisi below in relation to the Netanyahu leadership

ISIL establishing cells in Baghdad, aided by ex-Saddam security forces

Special to WorldTribune.com

LONDON — Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has established an operational presence on the outskirts of Iraq’s capital.

Security sources said ISIL has been quietly moving cells near Shi’ite neighborhoods of Baghdad. They said ISIL suicide bombers were directed to conduct mass-casualty attacks on mosques, schools and markets in an attempt to spark a Shi’ite flight.

“They are secretly moving terrorist squads near Shi’ite areas so they can sustain a bombing campaign in much of Baghdad,” a source said.

The sources said ISIL was aided by former members of the ousted Saddam Hussein regime, including military and security officers. They said the ex-officers were helping ISIL transport fighters and explosives through Baghdad’s sewers and tunnels, many of them built more than 20 years ago as escape routes by Saddam aides.

“These tunnels start in the Anbar province and connect to Baghdad, so you don’t know where they [ISIL] are or how close they are to their target,” the source said. “They could never have achieved this without the help of the Saddam people.”

The sources said ISIL has been detected on the outskirts of both the northern and southern part of Baghdad. They expressed concern over mass-casualty strikes from so-called tunnel bombs underneath Shi’ite
neighborhoods. A key target was identified as Sadr City, home to Iranian-sponsored Shi’ite militias, including Mahdi Army.

A major stronghold of ISIL was identified as Jurf Al Sakhar, located in the Euphrates Valley where Sunni and Shi’ite communities meet. The sources said ISIL, with at least 500 fighters in Jurf, was believed to be using a network of tunnels and canals covered by rich vegetation.

In response, Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki has ordered the destruction of thousands of acres of farmland to help uncover the ISIL tunnel network.

The sources said the Iraqi military has been carpet-bombing the Euphrates Valley and intensifying helicopter surveillance missions.
Shi’ites around Baghdad have expressed concern over ISIL warnings of massacres. ISIL leaflets that vow beheadings have appeared in Shi’ite towns and hundreds already fled their homes.

ISIL has also recruited Sunni tribes to advance toward Baghdad. The sources said the tribes in the Anbar province were being paid to help overthrow the Shi’ite-led government, accused of discriminating against Sunnis over the last decade.

“ISIL is buying the services of thousands of tribal fighters, many of them waiting to massacre Shi’ites,” another source said.

Debka is correct. El Sisi and the Saudis hate Obama and there is a major Split on now in the world between them along with Israel and with US and British Imperialism.

 

The Split is open and cannot be denied. It is based on real, real events. It was Bush Jnr and Condi Rice who insisted on that election in Gaza, really in actual fact on the election of Hamas into power. Bush really loved “democracy” but not the democracy of Big Power not interfering. So Israel has really suffered at the hands of America.

 

Is the US an ally of Israel?
A chronological look at the evidence

Historical and Investigative Research — by Francisco Gil-White
[ this piece updated regularly ]
http://www.hirhome.com/israel/hirally.htm

 

NOTE THIS The biggest demonstration in the whole history of mankind took place in Egypt against The Muslim Brotherhood of Morsi. Obama was supporting Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. El Sisi took on Morsi and overthrew him on the basis of that kind of support for his position of stopping the Sharia Law as administered by the Muslim Brotherhood.

 

So there is a real divide which is of extreme importance.

 

Is Netanyahu not then on the correct path. A thousand times no. His path is most dangerous for Jews.

 

I do not care if not a single elitist Jew like Sherman or Belman reads this…I just do not care, nor do I care if Gil White reads it either. It is by Leon Trotsky and I google “Trotsky on China” or some such formulation and I easily arrive at this gem for Jews following Netanyahu (to the grave) today.

3. Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek

After the Canton coup, engineered by Chiang Kai-shek in March 1926, and which our press passed over in silence, when the communists were reduced to miserable appendages of the Kuomintang and even signed an obligation not to criticize Sun Yat-senism, Chiang Kai-shek—a remarkable detail indeed!—came forward to insist on the acceptance of the Kuomintang into the Comintern: in preparing himself for the role of an executioner, he wanted to have the cover of world communism and—he got it. The Kuomintang, led by Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Han-min, was accepted into the Comintern (as a “sympathizing” party). While engaged in the preparation of a decisive counterrevolutionary action in April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek at the same time took care to exchange portraits with Stalin. This strengthening of the ties of friendship was prepared by the journey of Bubnov, a member of the Central Committee and one of Stalin’s agents, to Chiang Kai-shek. Another “detail”: Bubnov’s journey to Canton coincided with Chiang Kai-shek’s March coup. What about Bubnov? He made the Chinese communists submit and keep quiet.

http://www.oocities.org/capitolhill/congress/1602/textosmarxistas/trottext/china/ch36.htm#3. Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek

 

I drop the class issue and I relate this to Israeli tactics. the interests of Israel and El Sisi can at the same time intersect. They can be on the same side against Obama and ISIL promoted as we see by NATO.

 

But Netanyau is proceeding like Stalin did in China. Netanyahu seeks to loquidate Israel and Israeli defence into this most dangerous Alliance. Thus now Netanyahu is throwing all his influence behind el Sisi and is depending upon el Sisi taking Hamas in hand, by the hand like a good Little boy, and thus rescuing Netanyahu and Israel.

 

It is exactly the same situation if you read history intelligently.

 

Stalin advised the Chinese Communists to trust the Kuomintang of kai Chek. For this act of trust, for this refusal to follow rule number one and act independently, the Chinese Communists were butchered.

 

If you follow the Netanyahu line that is going to happen big time to the Jews of Israel.

 

THE ISRAELI PEOPLE ARE TAKING TO THE STREETS AND DEMANDING ANSWERS

10,000 Rally in Tel Aviv, Say: Finish the Job in Gaza!

Rabin Square sees the first major demonstration since the country went to war against Hamas on July 8.

from Israel National News today

 

Yesterday there was a very large demonstration in Israel, the oilice estimating 10,000 strong, and basically called to solve the problema of Hamas firing these rockets, and of course the tunnel threat was involved as well. This as far as i can see is a very new development. The Israeli people are starting taking to the streets on an issue that can not be solved by peaceful means or by talking, or by compromiso or by agreements made one day with Jew Haters broken the next.

 

There was no agreement anong the 10,000 who took part as to how to solve this, only that they took to the streets to demonstrate. They all know now that Netanyahu’s leadership is very faulty although they do not want to stab him in the back either. There is deep unease.

 

We believe this can only be solved by a new type of leadership

 

Let us first consider the war again, or what Netanyahu called an “Operation”

 

WE WROTE YESTERDAY

“Now Obama clearly sees the need and the opportunity to rescue Hamas by promoting Abbas and Fatah.”

http://4international.me/2014/08/14/we-need-a-new-party-to-spearhead-no-antisemitism-palestinianism-in-israel/

 

The rules of war necessitate that the enemy is overcome and if necessary pulverised in the shortest time-span possible.

 

The war with Hamas was a war even though the Netanyahu Israeli elite and political tendency centred around Israeli Labour and the Israeli Stalinists sought to call it by another name “operation”!

 

But Netanyahu sought to drag this “initiative” into a never ending series of Hamas rockets on Israel followed by “overwhelming” force.

 

Netanyahu perhaps aimed and hoped to answer the Antisemites in the world centred on the world media with an answer “But they fired first and our people need and deserve calm”.

 

What the Media did was the obvious. The Media ignored this argument totally and concentrated on the damage that the Israeli bombs, rockets and shells were doing in Gaza.

 

What a wonderful canvas these Antisemites had to work on.

 

Provided by Mr Netanyahu! Israel supporters and there are plenty in the world could only sit and squirm.

 

First they would start their reports with the figures of dead. Big number of “Palestinians” dead and according to the Media they were all “Civilians”. Then a much smaller number of Israelis out of which were no civilians, then 1 civilian the rest soldiers and so on.

 

Then these horrible creatures, these journalists creating all kinds of mind images on the screen of what these horrible and rich Jews were doing to their poor “Palestinians”

 

Day after day, hour after hour.

 

The news was dominated by Gaza. The real tragedy of Christians and of Azedis was totally ignored. ISIL were beheading children and there was no coverage.

 

And after all of that providing of perfect tableaus for Antisemitism stirring the Israelis got nothing for the “Operation” of Netanyahu.

 

In fact they are worse off because the tunnels are still in shape in most of the Gaza and the doors are opening for Hamas to install bigger rockets with direction added.

 

It really was not a match at all. It was a rout. And the Arabs routed Israel.

 

Jews can learn from Trotskyism. An absolute principle in the fight of Trotsky against Stalinism and against Labour Parties ideology is that the working class battalions must forever stand on their own feet and defend themselves with their own forces and never depend on the forces of any other class.

 

This is one of the big problems of this type of Netanyahu rule. He and his fancy “philosophers” are full of how the enemy are split among themselves, such as Saudi against Qatar. While not to be dismissed totally the most important thing is the independent action of the Israeli nation.

 

Make a very small adjustment for Israel “Nation” (from Trotsky and class) and you will see how dangerous is Netanyahu. He never for a moment depended on the Jewish nation to fight this battle.

 

Netanyahu kept the whole nation in the dark. Heck he even kept his own party the Likud in the dark. He had only the one sidekick Ya’alon and I am sure he did not even tell Ya’alon all.

 

(Then in the middle of this war sorry “operation” there was the horrific disciplining by Netanyahu of Danny Dayon)

 

So the Israeli people were sending their sons and daughters into the war and they had no clue what these sons and daughters were fighting for.

 

Furthermore Netanyahu did not eventually know either because his stated targets of the war would morph as the war went better or worse than he hoped it would.

 

That is insanity. But it becomes a bitter insanity when you come to realise that those were the methods used in the West Bank, in Gaza and in Lebanon (twice) before in the past 20 years.

 

There must be a new movement put on the ground, with its membership, with its press, with its political analyses and directives as soon as possible. Those Jews (Jewish Patriots) with good influence must urgently meet and seriously make plans to challenge once and for all this insanity.

 

However this is the thing

 

In our article yesterday posted on the Martin Sherman Facebook 24 hours after posting and our call for a new type of party or leadership, that is leadership solving, there was nobody on that well read fórum who made any comment on this. This also has huge implications for Israel. Silence also has implications. We will continue this

 

WE NEED A NEW PARTY TO SPEARHEAD NO ANTISEMITISM (PALESTINIANISM) IN ISRAEL

 

As Caroline Glick and Martin Sherman among many others are saying the whole of the Operation in Gaza has been a defeat for Israel. Israel and the IDF did not settle the issue of Hamas rockets and tunnels.

 

War is not casual. There is always a decisión. More than that targets always have to be set. The main problem in this case is that war was not declared and no targets were set.

 

Netanyahu and his group who control the Media and the State in Israel must not be allowed to ever spin it in any way that suggests a victory.

 

If no war was declared with clear aims that is a problem. If no targets were clearly set another big problem

 

War was NOT declared. Targets changed as things developed.

 

I am proposing that this looseness of language, action, aims, targets, is a result of how Israel is actually governed.

 

WAR RUN BY ONE MAN AND ONE OTHER

The war was run by two people, Netanyahu and Ya’alon (Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon)

 

The war, not called a war I repeat, was not run by a cabinet with the cabinet delegating. There was no delegation. Netanyahu decided.

 

It was also run by the Army Generals, that is the leadership of the IDF, in which Israeli Intelligence was involved too. But not by Cabinet.

 

A leader Danny Dayon was expelled from the Cabinet by Netanyahu because he did not toe THIS line, which is a line of ruling through a non cabinet cabal.

 

This is how no decisión was made to go to war and no targets were set, which resulted in something not war but “operation” (Operation Protective Edge), and not targets of war but tactics which were changing.

 

All of that has resulted in a failure. Every Israeli today knows that the rockets are not destroyed and the tunnels were not destroyed (Debka reports that only tunnels within a few miles of the border were hit by the IDF. Were they all hit? No! And that leaves the whole network in this strip which lead into these tunnels. The whole strip sits now on these deadly tunnels. And the same thing with the rockets, the majority still in existence in Gaza.

 

Politicaly too the war is lost totally. The Obama and Netanyahu line is to bring Abbas forward. But Caroline Glick shows that this is a récipe for disaster and for the introduction of rockets, powerful with guidance, into those tunnels

 

Lost too because Hizbullah and Iran are drawn in by Obama to this solution. That means defeat in spades for Netanyahu and his “Operation”

 

The question is how to form a clear point of opposition to Netanyahu?

 

4international has noted what a great job Martin Sherman has done in his last article in which he records in historical detail (Ben Gurion, Begin, Sharon) how Israeli héroes sell out at critical moments.

 

TURN OF BIBI TO BETRAY…BIG TIME

Now it is the turn of Netanyahu to betray. Netanyahu too is a favoured son of Israel, the brother of the Entebbe Raid hero, absolutely part of Jewish folklore. Caroline Glick has noted in great detail the ACTUAL (historical detail is her strong point) role of Abbas and how Obama, Kerry and maybe Netanyahu are pushing this person to the Forefront. Note as the UN was the front for Hamas in Gaza, as Caroline points out very clearly and above all comprehensively, detail very impressive, that now it will be Abbas, UN as front for Hamas.

 

http://carolineglick.com/obamas-new-plan-for-hamas/

 

There are many who are voicing the above feelings of dissidence with the ruling elite in Israel from the side of patriotism. (Note the use of left and right as commonly used in Israeli politics is not allowed on this site. These terms are meaningless in the broad world) (Martin Sherman I request you to be careful in using these terms…I have strong backing in this from Francisco Gil White, Jared Israel and Richard Landes)

 

But meanwhile back to this war situation and how practically to proceed.

 

I feel that complex issues can always be reduced down to simple things. In the case of Lenin it was BREAD the people were starving, PEACE the horrific world war 1, LAND many centuries of peasant oppression. (I know this example best so I use it and I think it should be used…this is not pushing “communism” even though I do that as well, and proudly so)

 

I see so many plans and schemes pushed forward by Jews. I know why. They are all trying to do their best and are so fearful of the future given their past.

 

But I try to reduce it to a simple concept. How about “Root out Antisemitism … out of the land of Israel”. Rephrase but keep the meaning.

 

To my studied political position as an irishman I hold that to throw a single Stone against a Jew in Israel (or anywhere on earth) IS ANTISEMITISM IN THE EXTREME.

 

So go figure! What does that mean in practice? it means it is ALL antisemitism in action today!

 

We can ask what does patriotism or authentic nationalism mean in Israel. It can have a religious aspect but still must be practical to survive … after all all human life is practical.

 

The whole of the campaign by Netanyahu in this Gaza Operation was an exercise in how to provide your Antisemite Enemies with all the ammunition they need to stir up vile Antisemitism in the world.

 

The biggest lesson is that the world is going to accuse Israel of being Nazi etc. anyway, whether they send warnings before destroying every empty house, whether they abort missions or not. So why do it?

 

The biggest lesson is that last paragraph above. Study any war, anywhere in the history of warfare and you will find that you attack the enemy with force and without warning. Also you do it decisively, brutally because war is brutal, and over as short a time period as possible. In other words you seek always to pulverise the enemy.

 

Those are the rules of warfare. But that is not adequate for this Jewish cabal who leads Israel since 1948. They want to have special rules for the Jews at war where the Jews are to be seen by the world as super humanitarians.

 

Why not just go to war TO WIN, end the war with victory in as short a period as possible TO WIN AND SAVE LIFE, having achieved victory and pulverized the enemy then be merciful if mercy is possible.

 

The very first consideration for a new leadership, as opposed to what has been in Israel since 48, is to face this consideration at the staart of this war.

 

Hamas control Gaza and the UN in Gaza is an arm of Hamas.

 

ANOTHER CONSIDERATION A NEW LEADERSHIP MIGHT WRITE ON THE BLACKBOARD AT PLANNING STAGE:

 

Evidence from Mohammed el Dura/France2 and from Qana (EU Referendum Reports) that the enemy have a vast Pallywood industry in operation.

 

We knew totally that the enemy control all aspects of the international media in Gaza, something which happened also totally in Yugoslavia against Milosevic and the Serbs.

 

So why did the Netanyahu group therefore do it like that, giving every opportunity and all of the time in the world for the enemy to promote their Pallywood productions and the international media to set up their extensive and long running campaigns of vilification of Israel AND OF JEWS?

 

I return again to these two great assets for Israel:

 

Caroline Glick has showed in the latest article in great detail how Fatah also is an arm of Hamas. This has great importance for the tactics now to be used.

 

Martin Sherman in his latest article showed how every Israeli leader since 1948, especially those with a bit of a name for bravery like Sharon and Begin, that they were a disaster in leadership

 

I cannot say that a Trotskyist Party can come forward this week or even next month and it pains me to say that. Trotskyisn was wiped out in 1940 by Stalin and by Hitler and by all capitalist governments. Roosevelt promoted Stalinism.

 

Nevertheless there must be a next practical step by patriots (Note again I shun the use of “Right” here a term that is lethally self-limiting for a great cause)

 

There must now be a new organised NEW party created on a platform opposed to a SECOND Palestine Arab state in Israel. Netanyahu has of course placed himself outside of this. Such a party is in opposition to Netanyahu. But note at times in unity and in defence of too.

 

Martin Sherman and Caroline Glick plus many others must continue their activity, telling Jews and the world the truth, but they must do it as part of an organised party which is in opposition to the present ruling group.

 

Of course such a party must defend Netanyahu and others who are actually our enemies if they come under attack from the Antisemites, but that is a necessary defence against the enemy, especially necessary to enable the discussion to proceed.

 

This defence of our political opponents becomes ever more necessary in a period like today when there is a Muslim Brotherhood man in charge of America with all the power that Obama brings to his mission to promote the Muslim Brotherhood. I return to this theme of how to defend Netanyahu at times agains the enemy precisely because of Obamam who is a Muslim hater of Jews

 

Now Obama clearly sees the need and the opportunity to rescue Hamas by promoting Abbas and Fatah.

 

El Sisi like Mubarak remains an Antisemitic Arab. The situation not to go along with Obama support for Abbas becomes ever more critical.

 

Israel does not need grand plans and it simply needs to find a way through a party to express its needs at each point

 

IMMEDIATE AND UNPOSTPONABLE STEPS

The very first step is to explain to the Israeli people that the Operation in Gaza did not and was never meant to defeat Hamas.

 

Moreover explain that Abbas is actually worse than Hamas. They are all part of the same Antisemitic scheme in the world against Jews and Israel.

 

That is the single most important issue to be fought out and clarified in front of every single Israeli today, and that includes those Arabs in Israel who love Israel.

 

It is a political and a practical task and not a religious one that has to be carried out. In this case freedom of religion means putting an end to Antisemitism in Israel. Start there at least!

 

 

 

THE HERZOG PLAQUE IS REMOVED IN BELFAST. HOW LOW CAN THE ANTISEMITES GO!

 

Plaque honoring Israeli President Chaim Herzog torn down after rise in anti-Semitic violence; politicians slam ‘intolerance’ in decisión.

Chaim Herzog (file)

Flash90

A plaque marking the 1918 birthplace of former Israeli President Chaim Herzog in Belfast was removed earlier this week, out of fears of further anti-Semitic violence in the Northern Ireland city. 

The blue plaque honoring Herzog, who was President of Israel from 1983 to 1993, was first erected on a property at Cliftonpark Avenue in 1998.

The 16-year landmark was torn down, however, due to concern for Jews living in the area. Democratic Unionist Party Councillor Brian Kingston explained the decision to the Belfast Telegraph.

“Attacks have included the scrawling of anti-Israeli graffiti on the building and items being thrown at the plaque and the house,” Kingston said. “Recently some youths were stopped in the process of trying to remove the plaque with a crowbar.”

“Out of concern for staff and for residents living in neighboring houses, the community group and the Ulster History Circle have decided that it was best to remove the plaque for the foreseeable future, and it was removed at the end of last week.”

“This should serve as a wake-up call for the public to the dangerous level of intolerance and the anti-Israel mentality which some are encouraging,” Kingston stated. “I will be maintaining a close interest in this matter and I hope that at the earliest opportunity it will be possible to restore this plaque to its rightful place.” 

Ulster Unionist Party west Belfast spokesman Bill Manwaring stated to the Irish Times that the forced removal of the plaque was a “damning indictment of the intolerance within some elements of our society”.

“Given the attack on the synagogue (in Belfast) last month and now this, it shows that some people’s hearts and minds remain full of hatred,” he said.

Anti-Israel media coverage of Operation Protective Edge in Gaza recently boiled over in Belfast, where a synagogue’s windows were smashed twice in 24 hours. 

Rabbi David Singer told BBC shortly after the incident that the Jewish community had been “left shocked” by the attack.

“I think across the community, first of all, it’s very sad that it happened,” Rabbi Singer said. “I would imagine that there’s a certain amount of anger that it could happen, but angry in the sense of frustration, not angry in the sense that they’d want to do anything about it.”

“Certainly, it’s very sad and very disturbing that Belfast would show its face like this,” he added. 

Anti-Semitism has risen 383% worldwide since 2013, according to a World Zionist Organization (WZO) study released Monday – including a 436% hate crime hike in Europe.

 

THE IRISH TIMES COVERS IT LIKE THIS:

 

Unionist politicians have complained of anti-Semitism and intolerance after an historic blue plaque marking the Belfast birthplace in 1918 of former Israeli president Chaim Herzog was removed to prevent vandalism.

Belfast DUP councillor Brian Kingston said he was shocked that the plaque at Cliftonpark Avenue, which was erected in 1998 in honour of Chaim Herzog, had to be removed.

“The Ulster History Circle and the community group occupying the building agreed last week that due to an upsurge in attacks against the plaque and the building it was necessary to remove the plaque for the foreseeable future,” he said.

“Attacks have included the scrawling of anti-Israeli graffiti on the building and items being thrown at the plaque and the house. Recently some youths were stopped in the process of trying to remove the plaque with a crowbar,” he added.

“This is a shocking indication of the level of tension and anti-Semitism which currently exists in parts of Belfast. It is disgraceful that this item of Belfast history has being repeatedly targeted due to its connection with Israel. This should serve as a wake-up call for the public to the dangerous level of intolerance and the anti-Israeli mentality which some are encouraging.”

Ulster Unionist Party west Belfast spokesman Bill Manwaring said the forced removal of the plaque was a “damning indictment of the intolerance within some elements of our society”.

“Given the attack on the synagogue (in Belfast) last month and now this, it shows that some people’s hearts and minds remain full of hatred,” he added.

 

POSTSCRIPT

 

i have tried to find out what is the position of Adams, McGuinness and Sinn Fein on this Antisemitism in Belfast, by doing a google search, but there is Little if anything to show. The only ones clearly in opposition are the Unionists

THE GENOCIDE OF THE YAZIDIS…Saddam was a dictator but everything changed for the worse when the US toppled him

 

This is a good article on the Yazidis by The Gates of Vienna editor. On BBC this norning a leader from Kurdistán has pointed out that Obama has not honoured the agreement he made when pulling out the American tropos because Obama was bound by that agreement to have stopped this horror on the Yazidis (women and children reported buried alive by Islam) One comment on a blog has wittily pointed out Obama is bringing them their last meal before being butched by Obama’s friends in ISIL. Cameron is the same:

 

The Genocide of the Yezidis

Posted on August 7, 2014 by Baron Bodissey

We’ve posted previously about the Yezidis (also spelled Yazidis), a non-Muslim non-Christian religious minority in northern Iraq. Life for the Yezidis has been precarious since the fall of Saddam Hussein, but it became much worse after ISIS, now the Islamic State, entered Kurdish territory in Iraq.

One of the avowed goals of the Islamic State is to exterminate all shirk, which is the blasphemous association of other entities with Allah in any religious worship. Shiites are mushrikun (practitioners of shirk), due to their devotion to the tombs of past imams, as are Christians (because of the Trinity) and Yezidis (due to their devotion to seven angels). Over the past few days ISIS has attacked Yezidis in Sinjar and driven them into barren mountainous areas where many have died of thirst.

The following video shows a heart-rending appeal made by a Yezidi woman during a session of the Iraqi parliament:

Below are excerpts from four articles about the attempted genocide against the Yezidis. First, from BasNews:

Iraq: Since Sinjar Takeover IS Militant Kills 300 Yazidi Kurds

The death rate of Yazidi Kurds in the city of Sinjar climbs to over 300, the path being carved by Islamic State militants a brutal and difficult road leaving the minority group will few options for survival.

These mass killings have taken place not only in Sinjar city itself, but also surrounding villages and communities such as Siba Sheikh Khdr, Grzarg and Gr Ozair.

And from News24:

40 Iraqi Children Killed After Jihadist Attack — UN

Baghdad — Forty children from northern Iraq’s Yazidi minority are reported to have died as a result of a jihadist attack on the Sinjar region, the UN Children’s Fund (Unicef) said on Tuesday.

“According to official reports received by Unicef, these children from the Yazidi minority died as a direct consequence of violence, displacement and dehydration over the past two days,” a statement said.

On Sunday, fighters from the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group that controls much of northwestern Iraq took over Sinjar, which had been under the control of Kurdish troops.

The town, near the Syrian border, is a hub for Iraq’s Yazidis, a very closed community that follows an ancient faith rooted in Zoroastrianism and referred to by jihadists as “devil worshippers”.

Sinjar was also a temporary home for thousands of displaced people from other minorities, such as Shiite Turkmen who had fled the nearby city of Tal Afar when IS launched its offensive on 9 June.

The attack on Sinjar sent thousands of people running from their homes in panic, some of them scurrying into the mountains with no supplies.

“Families who fled the area are in immediate need of urgent assistance, including up to 25 000 children who are now stranded in mountains surrounding Sinjar and are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including drinking water and sanitation services,” Unicef said.

Pictures posted on the internet by members of the Yazidi community show little clusters of people gathering on the cave-dotted flanks of a craggy canyon in the Sinjar mountains.

From Sky News:

All Eyes on Gaza Amid Desert Hell in Nineveh

An ancient landscape that was once the envy, perhaps the centre, of the civilised world.

Now a desert hell for hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Nineveh faces a religious pogrom while the eyes of the outside world are fixed on Gaza.

In the past week the self-styled Islamic State, which captured Nineveh a few weeks ago from Iraq’s army, has attacked the heartland of the Yezidis.

This religious movement has roots that predate Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

Its community is a living tie to the global past of monotheism with a theological tradition that incorporates Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and paganism.

Now some 300,000 — the core population — are reported to be under pressure from the IS to leave their villages near Mosul or face death.

They have joined tens of thousands of Christians from Nineveh’s capital and surroundings who were given the choice to convert to Islam or die.

Finally, more background from NFSE:

Iraq’s Jihadis Have Vowed to Wipe Out the Yazidis. Who Are They?

The arrival of the self-styled “Islamic State” (IS) in the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar over the weekend sent the native religious minority fleeing. Yazidis, labeled by IS (formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIS) “devil worshippers,” have a long history of persecution.

Forty Yazidi children were reported killed and reports of forced conversions and murders have now emerged. A Yazidi parliamentarian fleeing northern Iraq told the Washington Post, “In our history, we have suffered 72 massacres. We are worried Sinjar could be a 73rd.”

The Sinjar area, near the border with Syria, is strategically important for IS, just 50 miles from Mosul. The United Nations has said close to 200,000 have fled the area, calling it a “humanitarian tragedy.”

Who are the Yazidis?

Yazidis (sometimes spelled Yezidis), belong to an ethno-religious group which predates Islam and has roots in Zoroastrianism, an monotheistic religion that developed in ancient Persia around 1,500 BC. Yazidis have been described as a “Kurdish heterodox group,” meaning that they’re ethnic Kurds, but outside the mainstream of the community and culture.

Over time they have incorporated aspects of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism into their beliefs. Much of the faith remains shrouded in mystery, with outsiders not allowed to convert and believers not willing to share details of their rituals.

 

 

 

 

The www.journal.ie is a pro-Jihadist outfit controlled by the ISM

 

There was a march in Dublín yesterday and it was filled with Antisemitism and hatred of Israel. The reports on these issues by an Irish website is an exercise in sheer hatred of Israel and it is a pro Jihadist outfit.

 

It tool 5 comments to get to this antisemitism on thejournal.ie The numbers which appear are a voting mechanism.

 

…but lets not take away from the long slow genocide of the Palestinian people… a people who were a peaceful agrarian m(ix of Muslims, Christians, and Jews.

 

… a people who had no hand act or part in the holocaust and yet have being made to pay for it,

 

thanks to an international political movement of immense power, privilege and finance…

 

Z.i.o.n.i.s.m

 

This is straight out of Mein Kamph. Is there any limit to how low the Irish Fascist Antisemitic Left can descend to?

4 million women face this FGM butchery at the hands of the head-hackers and the Irish dhimmi march around howling about the disaster brought on Gaza by Hamas? They seem to lack a perspective on the situation in the Islamofascist campaign to establish a Caliphate but then they are certainly happy once they have a few Jews to pick on.

That has been proven to be a fake account.

 

AND SO ON

 

This exchange took place. These Left Fascists turned on a woman called Clare who was defending Israel and it went like this:

 

 

 

Claire – Your Name & Your Face – IS A FAKE & I’m calling you out ? – you are an IDF Genocide, paid , plant – I have examined your Twitter Account & have no doubt whatsoever as to your lying motives and your taking money from the Government of Israel, to spiel their porky pies !

Hi Claire,

 

Apart from the Statue of Liberty on your Twitter account (hardly Irish So). you also seem to have made a radical mistake. If you’re living in Ireland, as I assume that would be your main reason to be on here, blithely ignoring 60+ years of Israeli aggression and 67 UN Reslutions – while does your Twitter account say ‘British Isles’? The Republic of Ireland is not a part of the ‘British Isles’, certainly not politically.

 

It would seem your views on just about everything are skewed and confused. Possibly you are not really who you say you are, as just about everyone on here realises.

 

One final thing – take a look at the pro-Palestinians comments up and down this page. I think you will notice that the vast majority are very strongly in support of the Palestinians. We are also in favour of the observation of the UN Charter, which enshrines the right to self-defence when attacked. Israel has been attacking Palestine for more than 60 years, progressively stealing land, building illegal settlements, trapping and even ‘controlling’ the amount of calories that the enslaved Palestinians can eat.

 

Controlling their food.

 

When you come up with anything other than a inhuman explanation for ‘rationing’ a trapped people’s food supply, then we might listen to you. For a moment.

 

Your rabid anti-Palestinian diatribes only serve to harden the overwhelming majority of peoples’ opinions in favour of supporting the Palestinians.

 

But then, let’s face it, the game is up. You are not ‘Clair Finn’, just another paid for mercenary, hiding behind a fake photo.

 

History will remember this.

 

P.S. Vive la France! (The French built the Statue of Liberty…you probably didn’t know that either)

Ok so Claire. Take a photo of yourself with today’s date and use it as your twitter profile pic.

 

In the real and actual world outside of these Antisemites so full of their hatred for Israel there are other things happening of great importance for everybody. As the following few headings from Pamela Geller show. In the end this is the real purpose of groups like the IPSC and ISM, to keep Irish people in total ignorance

But the Fascist Left Antisemites who control the comments on thejournal.ie seek to stop the Irish people from knowing what is happening in the world.

 

Also these fake socialists are actually diverting from the economic crisis in Ireland and the poverty being faced by the Irish working class. A big issue indeed.

 

 

Martin Sherman shows that Israel is facing massive threats to its exostence

4international has pleasure in reproducing the latest article by Martin Sherman

 

4international introduction

 

The question is: why did the placing of Israel in 1948 in the Middle East create so much opposition from the Arabs. Then why did the whole world adopt the “Palestinians” after 1967 when all Israel did was fight a defensive war against Nasser and his Arab cronies. In order to develop a correct strategy today it is necessary to ponder on these questions. Many people have written about this and there are good answers, but where 4international is different is that it emphasises the role of leadership, especially on the issue of the great betrayals of Stalinism and Labourism, and the historical weakness of Trotskyism after the crimes of Stalin in the 1930s leading to the murder of Trotsky in 1940. It is this active issue of leadership that we think has not been dealt with and it is this active issue of leadership that also will transform the situation in the favor of Israel and the Jews. There will be much questioning and this article by Martin Sherman is an excellent analysis of this weakness of leadership, not lack of courage, but political leadership.

 

One answer is oil and the need for oil in keeping capitalism running. This may seem superficial and in one sense it is, but nevertheless oil made the capitalist governments AND THEIR MEDIA start to suck up to the Arabs in a way that has never happened before.

 

The second deeper reason is the 2000 year old persecution of the Jews because the Christians and Muslims spread the lie that the Jews killed Jesus. This was a nonsense myth when you realise the historical figure of Jesus did not exist except for a dubious single paragraph in Josephus. But the belief exists and we defend religious belief, but this Christian Antisemitism is a big factor today, still.

 

The third reason totally neglected is the role of Stalinism on the international left movement

 

Additional to that but separate is the way in which no alternative to challenge Stalinism was able to get off the ground following the murder of Leon Trotsky in 1940. The Stalinists came out of the war with a big if not huge following in the left.

 

It must also be noted that all of these American Presidents including Reagan and Bush paid into this Palestinian myth, itself Antisemitic, but obviously Obama is a man who is very sympathetic to Islam. The myth is well covered int he book Phantom Nation.

 

This whole historical rigmarole has created and is today creating huge problems for Jews and Israel

(begin Martin Sherman’s latest article)

INTO THE FRAY: Israel’s Left: Ludicrous, loathsome and lethal  

By Martin Sherman, JPOST

Thy destroyers and thy demolishers shall emerge from within thee. – Isaiah 49:17

One cannot be both a Zionist and a Leftist. – Anton Shammas, Israeli-born Arab poet

Against the wishes of much – indeed, according to one recent poll, over 85% – of the public, the government has agreed to a cease-fire in Gaza.

The wages of war

As the dust of war begins to subside, it is far easier to see what Israel did not achieve in the four weeks of bloody fighting, than what it did.

True, Israel inflicted immensely more damage on Gaza than it suffered. However, despite this, opinion polls show that more Israelis believe that Israel did not win the war than believe it did.

LEON TROTSKY CALLED FOR REMOVAL OF ARABS

 

This is what Trotsky wrote and it points clearly that Trotsky stood for the removal of Arabs and for Jews in a future state to be free of this kind of Hamas rocket Antisemitism

 

(begin Trotsky quote here)

 

During my youth I rather leaned toward the prognosis that the Jews of different countries would be assimilated and that the Jewish question would thus disappear, as it were, automatically. The historical development of the last quarter of a century has  not confirmed this view. Decaying capitalism has everywhere swung over to an intensified nationalism, one aspect of which is anti-Semitism. The Jewish question has loomed largest in the most highly developed capitalist country of Europe, Germany.[…]

 

 

The Jews of different countries have created their press and developed the Yiddish language as an instrument adapted to modern culture. One must therefore reckon with the fact that the Jewish nation will maintain itself for an entire epoch to come. […]

 

 

We must bear in mind that the Jewish people will exist a long time. The nation cannot normally exist without common territory. Zionism springs from this very idea. But the facts of every passing day demonstrate to us that Zionism is incapable of resolving the Jewish question. The conflict between the Jews and Arabs in Palestine acquires a more and more  tragic and more and more menacing character. I do not at all believe that the  Jewish question can be resolved within the framework of rotting capitalism and under the control of British imperialism.[…]

 

 

Socialism will open the possibility of great migrations on the basis of the most developed technique and culture. It goes without saying that what is here involved is not compulsory displacements, that is, the creation of new ghettos for certain nationalities, but displacements freely consented to, or rather demanded, by certain nationalities or parts of nationalities. The dispersed Jews who would want to be reassembled in the same community will find a sufficiently extensive and rich spot under the sun. The same possibility will be opened for the Arabs, as for all other scattered nations. National topography will become a part of  the planned economy. This is the great historic perspective as I see it. To work for international Socialism means to work also for the solution of the Jewish question.

TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW! ARABS IN GAZA EQUALS ROCKETS AGAINST ISRAEL!

 

 

There comes a time for action and the rockets from Hamas aimed into Israel, and creating terror for ten years on the suffering people of Israel so much that areas of Israel are being depopulated (people moving away especially from the areas close to Gaza. The whole of the Media War on Israel, the quotation of figures by the Media supplied by Hamas, the continual presentation by the Media, is an action actually in Antisemitism. (Hamas fires rockets from among willing civilians…Israel defends itself and kills Hamas and those civilians…Israel cannot defend itself says the Media. Consider this also by Trotsky:

 

(begin Trotsky quote here)

There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens. We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life.

In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.

That could have been written about a ruthless, terrorist, Jew Hating group like Hamas. The truce was not even over and Hamas was sending rockets into Gaza this morning

 

There is only the one way to deal with this and it is not by talk, but by action.

 

Israel still faces decisive action and for that is needed new leadership, that is absolutely plain to see and the majority by far of Israelis are seeing it.

 

ISRAEL IS NOT EXHAUSTED AS THE BBC CLAIMED THIS MORNING

THE SAME TASKS STILL EXIST! ISRAEL MUST TAKE OVER GAZA AND SMASH HAMAS! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!

91% of Israeli Jews support the ongoing ‘Operation Protective Edge” and 85% would only support a cease-fire agreement if Israel eliminated every Hamas rocket and destroyed the full network of terror tunnels  used by Hamas to attack Israeli civilians, Arutz Sheva reports.

 

Top Pentagon intelligence official believes that the destruction of Hamas would only lead to something more dangerous taking its place – like ISIS.

 

The decision that was facing the Israeli leadership of the war was exactly that. Should Israel go on and break up the Hamas organization and take control of the Gaza? Or should Israel seek a deal with Hamas?

 

It is very, very unfortunate indeed that Israel in the first 3 days of the war did not take over the Gaza. This would have repeated the time honoured methods of warfare as practiced in Ireland by the Irish King Brian Boru against the Danes which is to take the ground that the enemy sits on and hold on to that ground

 

As stated above it is clear that 91 of the Israelis would have supported Netanyahu if he had done that.

 

I am absolutely certain that the great majority of the American people would have supported Israel smashing up Hamas in Gaza.

 

So why on earth did Netanyahu not do that in the first 3 days of the war?

 

This is the crisis of leadership in Israeli politics. 4international disagrees with Martin Sherman on this. It is not enough to ask the Israeli leaders to do it. It is necessary to get rid of Netanyahu and to replace him with leaders who will do this.

 

That is the next step. It was always and will remain the next step.
