ISRAEL'S 'FINAL SOLUTION' IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
May 27, 2020 at 13:30	(Associate Post, Collective Punishment, Corrupt Politics, DesertPeace Exclusive, Germany, Israel, Land Theft, Occupied West Bank, Palestine)
Netanyahu has just announced that the West Bank will soon be annexed, and calls this announced land grab a "historic opportunity that has not existed since 1948", meaning the "completion of the Nakba" in the "final solution".
Human rights and international rights in times of annexation
It seems that German media and German politicians keep using human rights and international law for their purposes, just as it suits them. There is actually only a right of people to freedom and integrity, as it is also in the German Basic Law. A constitution that is the best constitution we have ever had. Yes, this constitutional right needs to be defended, and that also includes that we criticize politicians and the media when it comes to the "Jewish state" and its handling of the rights of the Palestinian people.
I am concerned about the current attempt in Germany, thanks to increased pressure from Jewish interest groups and the Israel lobby, to influence the democratic climate in Germany, in which the Federal Government's Commissioner for Anti-Semitism, Felix Klein, believes he can, by virtue of his office, make all Israeli critics marginalized anti-Semites.
"A poor drip"
It seems that Klein's attack on the world-renowned researcher Achille Mbembe exposed him for what he is: "A poor drip" without any specialist knowledge and proof of his intellectual helplessness, which, however, fits very well into the "Hasbara-Hass work "Inserts. Klein is not a blank slate and obviously gained his "colonial experience" during his diplomatic service to the FRG and official stationing in Cameroon.
No "sole representation claim" to a Holocaust culture of remembrance
Mbembe rightly attacks the German claim to sole representation of a Holocaust memorial culture that is more than questionable today, 75 years after the liberation from Auschwitz and liberation from fascism, and 72 years after the Nakba, the incisive disaster for the Palestinian people appears and rightly needs to be discussed and questioned.
Philosophical "Israel love" leads to Islam hatred
In the meantime, this monopolistic culture of remembrance has become a shield for human rights and international law crimes by the "Jewish state", which leads us steeply into the philosophical "Israel love" and Islam hatred.How else can you understand that especially the media "forgot" the Nakba, while the "birthday of Israel" was highly appreciated. Have we really sunk so low again that we accept the instrumentalization of the Holocaust that is so obviously used by the "Jewish state" and its German sayanim to silence us? With the manslaughter arguments "Israel haters", "anti-Semite" and "Jewish self-haters", attempts are being made to attempt to destroy even the last remnant of civil courage. With "Defend the Beginnings" it is no longer possible to make a statement
The failure of German artists and intellectuals
It is not only the fault of many media, it is also the failure of German artists and intellectuals who keep silent when it comes to denouncing the Zionist human rights and international law crimes committed before our eyes.They retire to their German "guilt snail shell" and mean to make up for German guilt. What a foolish and dangerous idea, in which the elite of German society presents itself as a bad example. The same "masterminds" who are immediately there when it comes to denouncing Russia, China or Turkey remain silent when it comes to the crimes of the "Jewish apartheid state". Like the German politicians, they have learned nothing from our history.
We never wanted an adapted press again
Isn't it more than worrying when so many great left-liberal intellectuals with a heavy heart emigrate from Israel because they have given up hope of justice in their country? Why has no German newspaper published the important call of Jewish-Israeli intellectuals to this day, and why don't German intellectuals, scientists and artists show solidarity with them? Such an important document should be kept secret from German readers so that they do not think about how to deal with the "Jewish state". Neither the public media, nor national newspapers meet the requirement for clean journalism and honest reporting. Instead, a dangerous trend of the dictatorship takes hold and, as it seems, internalized, pro-Israel reporting that has grown so strong that it is becoming increasingly difficult to resist."Never again" we also wanted an adapted press that, frightened by fears of existence, reveals journalistic craft against better knowledge and concentrates entirely on getting the reader "on course". We prefer to keep it with the motto of Erich Mühsam, "To submit is to lie to the Nazis murdered in the concentration camp (1)
It is gratifying that there are finally a few critical voices that are resisting, such as Stephan Detjen from the DLF, Daniel Bax from the TAZ or Hartmut Buchholz in the Badische Zeitung, and David Ranan as a Jewish representative in the DLR, from the adapted one philosophical Semitic crowd, and who is not thanked enough. So far it has come to thank courageous critical voices. (2) (3) (4) (5)
We should be proud to belong to the circle of prominent BDS supporters
Yes, it is becoming increasingly important to defend yourself if you, as a BDS supporter, are defamed as an anti-Semite. We should be proud to belong to this illustrious circle of prominent BDS supporters such as Judith Butler, Naomi Klein, or Roger Waters, who has just published a Nakba solidarity song. It comes as no surprise that the worldwide BDS movement, as the "number one enemy of Israel", is on the Israel lobby's label and is being fought with many millions. Despite all of this, we are confident with Roger Waters song: "We will win, someday". (6) (7)
A rotten state
Our struggle for justice and for the freedom of Palestine will ultimately pay off. But those who still have not understood it and continue to advocate the right to exist of a "Jewish state", whose prime minister Netanyahu, who is currently facing a corruption process, only shows how rotten this state, which lets such a prime minister rule, will lose.
No right to exist and no rationale for this "Jewish state"
Netanyahu has just announced that the West Bank will soon be annexed, and calls this announced land grab a "historic opportunity that has not existed since 1948", meaning the "completion of the Nakba" in the "final solution". So how can you recognize this state without borders and without a democratic constitution and even its right to exist? No and again no, neither this right to exist, nor may German reason for this "Jewish state" be supported. This "Jewish state", which negates all UN resolutions, has lost nothing in the UN and should be excluded with immediate effect. For this, Netanyahu and Gantz belong to the International Court of Justice after The Hague. (8th)
This state only expanded its power through consistent disregard for human rights
Only through consistent Western support for this breach of international law and disregard for the Palestinian human rights has this state become a "state terrorist power" that threatens its neighbors militarily thanks to Western aid. It should encourage all of us to think about how soon we will face another war against Iran and what will happen next? Which side will the German government stand on? If confrontation with Russia and Iran is part of the new "values policy", then these "values" are just a worthless phrase, like the phrase of the "two-state solution". We should not allow more and more attempts to be made in Germany to raise the "Jewish state" philosemically, and at the expense of freedom of expression. There have been enough examples lately. It is worth demonstrating and defending yourself. What started and was copied with the AfD, Islam hatred and anti-refugee incitement by many other politicians, who largely see themselves on the "side of the Jews", should make us worried. Isn't it the media that have repeatedly contributed to the fact that AfD and Pegida only really became popular while Israeli critics are being avoided by the media?
When will German intellectuals and artists, together with the public and voters, work to ensure that freedom of expression also applies to Israeli critics and BDS supporters?
Human rights and peoples rights in times of annexation are valuable assets that are worth defending for the best constitution ever.
May the sugar festival become so sweet that Muslims in Germany will finally experience the appreciation and equality that they are entitled to under the Basic Law.

Comments Off on ISRAEL'S 'FINAL SOLUTION' IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
THE MISDEAL OF THE CENTURY
February 5, 2020 at 11:21	(Apartheid, Associate Post, Collaboration, Corrupt Politics, DesertPeace Exclusive, Illegal Settlements, Israel, Palestine)
The American "Dealer of the Century" has given the Israeli colonial regime a "Deal of the Century".
The Limitless US Zionist Power
The American "Dealer of the Century" has given the Israeli colonial regime a "Deal of the Century". While the German Foreign Minister, "Auschwitz Minister" Maas, is still "testing" this "gift", every "normal citizen" is now wondering what can be tested if the Palestinians are deprived of all legitimate rights. This so-called "peace plan", which was developed by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, clearly shows everyone's open contempt for the UN Security Council resolutions, and seamlessly transitions into the US Zionist legal violations with which Trump treated the "Jewish state" "The undivided Jerusalem" as the eternal capital, the holy places of Haram al-Sharif, left under Jewish administration and "sovereignty" over the illegally occupied Syrian Golan Heights. Trump is depriving himself of the right to deprive the Palestinians of all rights enshrined in international treaties and conventions, including the legitimate right to return Palestinian refugees to their homes. And like the crimes of the United States, the Israeli war crimes are said to be non-negotiable before the International Criminal Court.
Wild West style: the power of the fittest
In addition, there is a demand elsewhere to protect Israeli or American citizens from Interpol searches and not to have them convicted of non-Israeli or American legal systems. What else does this have to do with a democratic constitutional state? This, of course, also applies to the US position to regard the Jewish settlements on Palestinian land as "not contrary to international law", which cemented the fact that every Jewish-Israeli demand takes precedence over the legitimate rights of the Palestinians. As in Wild West style, we are dealing with the power of the fittest that undermines the law. International law prohibits the occupying powers from transferring their own people, that is, the Jewish settlers, to the land they occupy.
The demand for Israel to be recognized as a "Jewish state" is also unacceptable and does not correspond to any legal situation. There is nothing to justify that the "return" of Jewish citizens from all over the world is to be legalized, not even by the Holocaust. It is not for nothing that more and more critical Jewish citizens are renouncing this "right".
The right to justice, equality and dignity is inviolable, that should also be clear to German politicians, who repeatedly refer to the Basic Law and Article 1 "Human dignity is inviolable", but forget Palestine when it comes to the " Jewish state "goes. And yet they were trampled on by Trump in consultation with Zionist zealot friend Bibi Netanyahu.
Totally unsuitable vision: to leave the Palestinians "outside" forever
It is therefore not surprising that the patronage policy for the racist "Jewish apartheid state" dominated this "historical moment" in the White House! They were so concerned with themselves and their triumph, intoxicated with their own applause and were so convinced of the success of their completely unsuitable vision of leaving the Palestinians "outside" forever. These also did not exist in the White House – after all, people were so convinced of themselves and the "Jewish people" and their claim to "Judea and Samaria" that Palestine must always have been a "Jewish state", given by God for this "Chosen" people.
This ruthless disregard for Palestinian life and its rights, and the Trump administration's reprehensible contempt for civilized human values, in conjunction with the Netanyahu "state terror regime", fits perfectly into the grid that has been displacing, ethnic, this Zionist regime since its inception Purge, mass murder, collective punishment, illegal occupation, detention without trial and apartheid are all possible.
This behavior shows not only the unbelievability of the United States as a mediator, but also how Trump succumbed to the recent Zionist racism, which was accomplished with the betrayal of the Palestinians. However, it not only brought disgrace to the United States, it also exposed the hypocrisy of the allies in Europe and the Middle East. Their inability and criminal lethargy (Meuse!) To challenge this disgusting abuse of power shows only the confirmation and continuation of the supporting role in the continued persecution and oppression of the Palestinian people by the "Zionist state terrorist regime".
Combines what belongs together: in intimate "criminal" connection
The announcement of the "Peace Century Deal" coincides with the impeachment proceedings against Trump and the announcement of the formal indictment against Netanyahu for three different cases of corruption. In this way, what belongs together for a long time was united in an intimate "criminal" connection. It was the most shameful and embarrassing Zionist staged action the White House has ever seen and that forever disillusioned an order that had been painstakingly built up after World War II. Among the "standing ovations" by hypocritical "Kippa bearers" and guests such as the "Zocker-König" and "Israel Hayom" owner Adelson, Ambassador Friedman, including Trump's converted daughter Ivanka and her husband, the "Dealmaker", real estate speculator and Settler supporters Kushner were completely alone. However, the new US and Zionist friends, the ambassadors of the Arab Gulf States of Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates were not missing either. Only one skipped the illustrious meeting: the Saudi Crown Prince and "Kashoggi contract killer" Prince Salman, who just saved the Kushner family from bankruptcy.
What a sad circus event that wants to grant the Palestinians less than a bantustan of apartheid, with an uninhabitable Gaza Strip, parts of the West Bank without Jerusalem, without the Jordan Valley, without sovereignty and viability – and everything designed so that this "hull-state" can never be a state and should never be. A "promised" country, as promised by God, should only exist for the non-existent "Jewish people", while the real existing Palestinian people are denied any right to life in freedom and self-determination.
This illegal annexation of the Palestinian country, particularly in the illegally occupied West Bank, as well as in Gaza, Jerusalem and actually all over Palestine, in violation of international law and in violation of all UN resolutions, is the "Trump Deal Gift" to the "Jewish." State ", which sees itself ever closer in its Zionist dreams, the final solution to Judaism. What else is there to check, Mr. "Auschwitz Minister" Maas? Is that your lesson from "Auschwitz"?
Finally contradict colonialism and apartheid!
This shameful deal is not worth the paper or discussion, just rejection and struggle against it. When will the hypocritical "community of values" finally speak the truth about this deal and contradict colonialism and apartheid, just 75 years after the liberation of Auschwitz and even if this time it concerns Jews and descendants of the Holocaust victims as perpetrators?
This terrible plan legitimizes the Jewish-Zionist robbery of the country, which is to be taken away from the indigenous people and real owners. It is inconceivable that the international community, the UN Secretary General Gutierrez, the Pope, these "guardians of morality", look away and remain silent about this obvious injustice, and even want to examine Mr. Maas?
Unfortunately, at this difficult hour, the Palestinian people have no government to represent them, only the "Abbas Vichy Collaborative Authority", which only represents their interests for their own benefit and betrays and sells their people. While President Abbas full-bodiedly announced that all relations with the United States and security cooperation with the "Jewish state" would be cut off, this was as unbelievable as so often before. As several Arab and Israeli media – like Radio Kan – reported, the CIA chief Gina Haspel had already traveled secretly to Ramallah on Thursday to meet with Palestinian and Israeli (!) Officials. Their visit came two days after the Trump deal was announced and aimed to explore the reactions and the nature of the further relationship. Haspel did not meet with Abbas, but with Palestinian Intelligence chief Majed Faraj, who confirmed the continued exchange of information with the CIA despite Ramallah's announced opposition to the U.S. proposal. Those who have such "friends" don't need enemies.
Enough of the poisoned "Peace Plans from the White" Zionist House "!
This shameful "peace deal" has no other function than the final colonial takeover by the Zionist regime, a continuation of the centuries-old colonialization of Palestine. Finally, even the last doubters realize that the illusion of the "two-state" myth has been shattered and that all fantasies about this solution belong forever in the bin of Zionist propaganda. Did these supporters really think that by recognizing this Zionist entity, they would achieve an absolution that frees them from all responsibility and guilt?
It is high time that the hypocritical community of states, even under pressure and sanctions, compelled the "Jewish state" to recognize international law and the political rights of all people, and to help the Palestinians who live in historic Palestine to have the freedom they have had Is withheld for decades! Apartheid and ongoing crimes against humanity as Zionist rationale must no longer be the Jewish legal norm.
Enough of the poisoned "Peace Plans from the White" Zionist House ". Enough of the poisoned dates from Jewish settlers in the Jordan Valley, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," despite the limitless power of the US Zionists.

THE IRONY OF GERMAN ZIONISM
January 30, 2020 at 14:50	(Associate Post, DesertPeace Exclusive, Germany, Holocaust, Irony, Israel)
It seems that Germany and its politicians have learned nothing
from history as long as the poison of Zionism hovers over the Bundestag!
The poison of Zionism hovered over the Bundestag
Today's "special event" of the Bundestag proved us one thing, the idea
of letting a president of the "Jewish State" give the commemorative
speech, who so shamelessly misused this commemoration, was an
irreparable mistake. It was the great moment of Hasbara propaganda,
which was unwound there and which no other German speaker could oppose.
The country where the final solution of the Jewish question was decided
is today the "partner of values" of the "Jewish State", which decided
and actively implements the final solution of the Palestinian question
with Judaization.
When Rivlin talked about the ghosts of the past coming back to Europe,
such as "racial purity, nationalism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia", he
forgets to mention that these concepts are related to the country he
represents. If you exchange just one word, namely anti-Semitism in
Palestinian hatred and expulsion then, it fits, it. This "Zionist poison
of nationalism" mixes with the European poison of nationalism and merges
seamlessly. It only knows the common xenophobia.
In fact, AfD is a basic evil of German democracy. But what about the
whole spectrum of parties in the "Jewish State"? Isn't it once again
"right" of the AfD and so racist that these parties in Germany would be
under observation as rabble-rousers and nobody would form a coalition
with them.
So when Rivlin and Steinmeier praise the great friendship between the
two great "value democracies" Germany and the "Jewish State", it is a
disgrace for every German upright democratic citizen.
Steinmeier mentioned in his speech and enumeration of Jewish people in
Germany, who were significantly involved in making Jewish life after
Auschwitz possible in Germany, not the man who made this reconstruction
possible in the first place since 1949. It was the honorary citizen of
the city of Berlin, Heinz Galinski, who, with his statement "I did not
survive Auschwitz in order to be silent about new injustices", fulfilled
a task that did not let go of him throughout his life and that still
shapes me today. It is shameful that this man is kept secret by the
German Federal President, only because his daughter's advocacy for
Palestine made him an impersonator and he was taken into clan custody.
It strengthens me that I am on the right path!
How can President Steinmeier allow the Israeli President Rivlin to turn
this commemoration into a political hate campaign against Iran and
Hezbollah?
No, it is not Iran that is the threat to world peace, but rather it is
the "Jewish state" that has been instrumentalizing the Holocaust without
consideration since the founding of the state. It is not Iran that has
to be isolated and expelled from the world community, as Rivlin demands,
but it is the "Jewish State" until the occupation comes to an end. To
misuse daily politics at such a "special event, to demand that Hezbollah
as a whole be banned as a terrorist organization and to defame Iran as
the "destroyer" of the "Jewish State" is so perfidious that the
Bundestag should have defended itself against it, just as Steinmeier and
Bundestag President Schäuble as host and host of the Bundestag.
Rivlin also did not forget to present the "eat or die" plan of Trump and
son-in-law Kushner as a great hope with solutions for security and
stability. A slap in the face for every Palestinian. which, by the way,
was also missing at this event, as well as at the White House. What's
the point of listening to so much deceit?
When Rivlin also mentioned two Israeli soldiers, when Germany asked
Hamas to hand over their corpses, that was the limit of what was
bearable. Did Rivlin actually forget that in his state the bodies of
"assassins" (resistance fighters) are arbitrarily kept and not handed
over to the families?
No President Rivlin, the Jewish "defense army" is not the most moral in
the world, just as the "Jewish apartheid state" is the "only" democracy
in the Middle East!
Indeed, it seems that Germany and its politicians have learned nothing

"WHAT IS ISRAEL"? … OR PALESTINE??
January 14, 2020 at 13:48	(Israel, Occupation, Palestine, Uncategorized)
This is outrageous. If "Israel" had been the answer, it would have been bad enough. But the fact that she gave "Palestine" as the… answer and was told it was wrong makes this an outrage & an insult to history, reality, the thousands of oppressed Palestinians of Bethlehem.
'Jeopardy' says Bethlehem is in Israel, and gets slammed everywhere
Mondoweiss Editors
On Friday night the game show "Jeopardy" blew the Palestine question, badly; and it's getting a lot of media play. In the category,"Where is that church?" one answer came with this clue, "Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity." (Video here.)
Contestant Katie Needle answered, "What is Palestine?"
"No," host Alex Trebek said, and contestant Jack McGuire said, "What is Israel?"
"That's it," Trebek said.
Scott Roth jumped on it immediately. "Omg fuck you @Jeopardy. The Church of the Nativity is in Bethlehem, which is Palestine, NOT Israel. The woman answered Palestine and you ruled her wrong." Later Omar Baddar of the Arab American Institute explained, "Unacceptable!! Bethlehem is in the Palestinian territories which Israel illegally occupies (Katie Needle got the correct answer & was robbed). @Jeopardy owes an apology for endorsing Israel's universally-condemned illegal takeover of Palestinian lands."
Code Pink is seeking an apology from the game show, with smart graphics.
The good thing about the response is that the occupation is no longer obscure knowledge. The show is getting hammered on Twitter. Jamil Dakwar said,"Even Siri got it right!" Jim Zogby calls the exchange a double insult.
This is outrageous. If "Israel" had been the answer, it would have been bad enough. But the fact that she gave "Palestine" as the… answer and was told it was wrong makes this an outrage & an insult to history, reality, the thousands of oppressed Palestinians of Bethlehem
Supporters of Israeli occupation have been trying to justify Jeopardy's answer. Roth responds, "Fine. In that case Israel isn't a democracy since no one who lives in Bethlehem can vote in Israeli parliamentary elections. Or if it is a democracy, then it's an apartheid state. Choose."
PARTNERS IN (WAR) CRIMES …… THE OFFICIAL VERSION
January 12, 2020 at 17:33	(Assassinations, Collaboration, Corrupt Politics, Iran, Israel, War Crimes)
Israeli intel helped US carry out strike that killed Iran's Soleimani — report
Information provided by Jewish state confirmed that Quds Force leader was at Baghdad airport before missile strike, NBC News reports
By TOI STAFF
Israel helped the United States in the operation that resulted in the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the powerful head of Iran's elite Quds Force, a US report said over the weekend.
According to an NBC News report late Friday, the Jewish state was involved in the January 3 operation, handing the Americans key intelligence details.
The information helped confirm intelligence provided by informants at a Syrian airport that Soleimani had been on a nighttime flight from Damascus to Baghdad, the report said, quoting two sources with direct knowledge of the operation and other US officials briefed on it.
After his plane landed, it was a simple matter of using drones to track him exiting the aircraft and entering a car, which was later targeted with four missiles.
Israeli media reported the day after the strike that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had briefed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of time about the US plans to kill Soleimani.
Pompeo phoned Netanyahu on January 1, ostensibly to thank him for Israel's support in efforts to combat Iran and after the attack on the US embassy in Iraq.
Before departing for Athens the following morning, Netanyahu alluded to "very, very dramatic things" happening in the region.
"We know that our region is stormy; very, very dramatic things are happening in it. We are alert and are monitoring the situation. We are in continuous contact with our great friend the US, including my conversation yesterday afternoon," he told reporters at Ben Gurion International Airport.
Hours later, Soleimani and several top officials from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed in the airstrike at Baghdad's international airport, along with an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia commander.
Netanyahu had been the only non-US leader who appeared in the know about the planned operation beforehand, the New York Times reported Saturday.
The Reuters news agency reported Thursday that a series of Syrian and Iraqi informants are suspected of providing the US with the information that led to Soleimani's killing.
The suspected informants — two security employees at Baghdad airport and two workers in private Syrian airline Cham Wings — gave the intelligence about Soleimani's secret flight from Damascus to Baghdad, the report said, quoting security officials, Baghdad airport employees and Cham Wings employees.
Tensions between Tehran and Washington have risen significantly since the US carried out the airstrike that killed Soleimani. In the wake of the killing, the Iraqi parliament voted to press the government to expel US troops from the country and Iran announced that it will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal.
Last week, a former leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said that the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa could be targeted to avenge Soleimani after previously alleging that Israel leaked information about Soleimani's whereabouts to US forces.
The US launched the airstrike that killed the Iranian general after a US defense contractor was killed and several American and Iraqi troops were wounded in a rocket attack in northern Iraq which was in turn launched in retaliation for US airstrike which killed Iranian-backed militants at several sites in Syria and Iraq. Supporters of the militant group subsequently broke into the US embassy in Baghdad.
ISRAEL CONTINUES TO CLAIM IT IS 'THE GOOD GUY'
December 18, 2019 at 14:34	(Associate Post, Britain, Israel, Palestine)
What we are experiencing at the moment is beyond all dirt, denunciation, false accusations and blows against freedom of speech.
We are the good guys – win elections with anti-Semitism club and Israel lobby
What we are experiencing at the moment is beyond all dirt, denunciation, false accusations and blows against freedom of speech. German Christian politicians and church leaders complain about the worldwide persecution that Christians are suffering from, but make no mention of the Christian Palestinians in illegally occupied Palestine / Gaza. Christians in the Gaza Strip will not be allowed to visit holy cities like Bethlehem and Jerusalem to celebrate Christmas there. Gaza Christians only receive permission from the occupiers to travel abroad, for example to Jordan via the Allenby Bridge, but no one is allowed to travel to the "Jewish State" or the occupied West Bank. As usual, the occupier regime put forward "security concerns" as the reason for the restrictions.
1,000 Christians are also imprisoned in the Gaza concentration camp
Around 1,000 Christians live among a population of around two million people in the Gaza concentration camp, who are just as caught as their Muslim companions. This year's decision is another taboo break. After all, almost 700 Christians from Gaza were allowed to visit Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth and other holy sites with permission. While thousands of pilgrims and tourists are welcomed by the occupying regime, the indigenous Palestinians are locked out. Anyone who continually tries to lie the phrase "the only" democracy in the Middle East should be punished for fake propaganda. Religious freedom in the "Jewish apartheid state" has been trampled on for a long time and only applies to Jews. This Judaic regime is trying by all means.
As the Israeli human rights group Gisha emphasized, this year's ban can only be seen with an increasingly strict separation policy between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The regime tries with all means to anchor this wall of separation more and more. No prayer helps to defy this regime, only foreign pressure and sanctions help. It would be helpful if the pilgrims and foreign tourists who traveled to these sites would think about whether they would "make Jesus a joy" or not, rather, with their uncritical visit, upgrade the occupiers and bring them foreign currency, which they would then use again in crew, attacks, checkpoints and walls.
Germany in the "anti-Semitism and climate frenzy"
Where's the solidarity of Christian politicians, media and churches? It is a shame how they drop and forget their brothers and sisters. Where is the protest of the Pope, Cardinals, Bishops and Believers? And why is Chancellor Merkel, the "pastor's daughter", who is so important to freedom of belief so silent? With Palestine and its endangered Christians (Muslims anyway!), Their faith ends. The many Jewish medals on the chest are probably such a burden and the reasoning for the "Jewish state" is so serious that there is no longer any room for solidarity with the Palestinians. Would all of this happen in Turkey – the country that saved the lives of so many Jews during the Nazi era – that Christians shouldn't pray and be locked out then I can imagine the media agitation and the shit storm of the anti-Erdogan agitation. But everything is allowed in the "Jewish state", after all everything is only for "security".
Germany is now so "intoxicated with anti-Semitism and climate" that it is easy for agitation and defamation to find a way into the media. A terrifying article about "Anti-Semitism in Turkey" published the woman of all people who made her first career as "IM" Victoria. It borders on a "Christmas miracle" that Anetta Kahane was even allowed to enter Turkey. This has shown how democratic Turkey is in contrast to Kahane. (1) (2)
GB: Helped the Torys to victory in the election by means of Zionist lies about Corbyn
However, what happened in Britain and how the Torys and Johnson won the election with the help of the Jewish lobby is a disaster. The Guardian's Jewish Chronicle, Jonathan Freedland, put lies about Corbyn on paper that shouldn't be without consequences. When the British Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvish asked the British Jews not to choose Corbyn, the measure was full. We are accustomed to defamation as Zionist Hasbara propaganda, but manipulating it so successfully creates fear. People fall for populists so quickly, and when they come in the form of the "chief rabbi", it reminded me of brown times in Germany, when German clergymen preached from the pulpit against Jews and for Hitler. With the Labor Party's "anti-Semitism crisis", a popanz was built that will continue until all pro-Palestinian members have been silenced. As a thank you, Johnson immediately brought a new anti-Semitism regulation to parliament, just like his friend Trump.

One could count on Jeremy Corbyn appearing as No. 1 on the Wiesenthal Center's notorious "anti-Semitism list". But when the German UN ambassador Heusgen landed on the list in 7th place, even the federal government felt it was too colorful. After all, after so many abstentions, Heusgen had finally only followed the orders of the federal government (and the United States) and voted against Israeli international law crimes at the UN. She stood behind Heusgen, by the way also the Israeli ambassador to Germany, who was so embarrassed by the story that he also stood behind the "colleagues". (10) (11)
When the anti-Semitism club was swinging, German media did not want to stand aside either, and came into the same horn – such as online mirrors on election day, December 12th. Under the title "The Dark Side of Red Corbyn", Alexander Sarovic presented his Israeli theses to the readers about the "anti-Semitism problem" from Labor to Feed – just one sad example among many. We get the dark side of the mirror every week when we are panting against Turkey or Russia. The scandal surrounding Relotius is still well in our memory. It seems to me that after a very gratifying critical report about Israel lobbyism in Germany, Spiegel has now had extreme Hasbara headwinds, that it now writes "refined" only uncritically and "Israel lobby-like". (12) (13) (14)
Do not tolerate journalism of one-sidedness and omission!
We are facing difficult times. Britain was just the beginning in times of anti-Semitism clubs as powerful campaign helpers. Coming soon is the dirt and the Zionist corruption deficiency in the "Jewish state" and its election campaign, as well as Trump's politics, which brought this dirt into the election campaigns and inspired Zionist and populist friends.
Trump has also managed to arrest 3,750 Palestinians from occupied Jerusalem since he declared Jerusalem to be the capital of a "Jewish state". These included 1,070 children under the age of 18, in addition to 171 women and girls, including injured women and mothers – and all because they had organized a peaceful "sit-in" in the Al-Aqsa mosque. These waves of arrests spread like a tsunami across occupied Palestine, to all the villages, towns and districts of Jerusalem; unprecedented, and how unleashed since Trump's support. What do we read about it in the German media? NOTHING. They are just too busy with their anti-Turkey Erdogan research, their agitation, and with their Russia and Putin defamation, that there is no time left for such explosive news. This journalism of one-sidedness and omission, which does not fulfill its duty to report truthfully, should make us all angry and thoughtful.
Don't be intimidated by the anti-Semitism club in the Israel lobby!
In the struggle for freedom of expression and the freedom of Palestine, we must courageously put those who are struggling with the anti-Semitism club in its place. They must not succeed in distracting them from really important political issues – such as the Zionist occupation, the war threats against Iran, the other threats such as regime change and US influence contrary to all democratic customs. We must not let up and, above all, not be intimidated by the anti-Semitism club in the Israel lobby.

ISRAELI MYTHS THAT DEFY MORAL REALITY
December 11, 2019 at 12:41	(Associate Post, Israel, Palestine)
Why does the "Jewish State" always understand how to build on myths that have nothing to do with reality?
The Zionist Regime Defies All Ethical Values and Norms
On December 9, 1987, the first intifada began in illegally occupied Palestine in response to the assassination of four Palestinians outside the Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza. This fight for freedom has been going on for decades and will not end until Palestine is free. The indignation of the young Palestinians about their hopeless situation has consequently dammed – even after they had long ago noticed that their political leaders did nothing for them, but only appeased and arranged with the occupiers, and more or less under the occupation left their country to their fate. Thus, the desperate Palestinians saw no other possibility than in the refugee camps, in the occupied West Bank and in the annexed East Jerusalem to stand up and fight back. They took control of the neighborhood, barricaded the streets to prevent the penetration of the Zionist occupiers with their vehicles and tanks, who want to break their resistance. Quite similar to today, only stones were left to defend themselves against the weapons-rousing Zionist occupying forces. And today and again and again the Hasbara speaks of "militant Palestinians", whereas the Zionist armed to the teeth occupiers only "defend". Quite similar to today, only stones were left to defend themselves against the weapons-rousing Zionist occupying forces. And today and again and again the Hasbara speaks of "militant Palestinians", whereas the Zionist armed to the teeth occupiers only "defend". Quite similar to today, only stones were left to defend themselves against the weapons-rousing Zionist occupying forces. And today and again and again the Hasbara speaks of "militant Palestinians", whereas the Zionist armed to the teeth occupiers only "defend".
1987: More than 300 Palestinians murdered, more than 20,000 injured
For decades, nothing has changed in this rhetoric. On the contrary, the Jewish "defense army" has always used live ammunition, tear gas and the toughest of reactions against the desperate demonstrators. Palestinians were and are being murdered indiscriminately, including women and children. Those who have experienced these days will never forget that. When the protests were unstoppable, the occupiers reacted with curfews, mass arrests, closures of kindergartens, schools and universities. Houses and farms were destroyed as well as fields and olive groves. Trees like humans were uprooted, denied any building permits on their own land, water sources dispossessed, and illegal Jewish settler hordes attacked stunned and helpless Palestinians.
Already at that time videos were used to prove the asymmetry of the weapons, ie the upgraded Jewish "defense soldiers" against the unarmed Palestinians. At that time, the cry for a Palestinian state was growing louder and louder. While Yasser Arafat and his Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) tried to work together with the United Nations from its Tunisian exile, which at that time was as unsuccessful as it was today, a newly formed resistance organization, the Hamas, until today the Gaza Strip, emerged only alternative to the PLO / Fatah. In fact, it was and is the only alternative to the outdated, corrupt West Bank government run by a power-hungry "Vichy-Abbas" Palestinian president. Hamas did the right thing and called on the Palestinians to focus on the basic goals of the Palestinian struggle for freedom, with no scruples and the ultimate goal of liberating Palestine and ending the illegal Zionist occupation. Since then, the US has consistently voted against draft resolutions of the UN Security Council and vetoed them to prevent Israel from being charged with its human rights abuses and the notorious non-compliance with the Fourth Geneva Convention.
This law-mocking behavior has for decades prevented Israel from being condemned for its ongoing genocide and human rights crimes. It is even more disgraceful that the German Foreign Minister, who allegedly "went into politics because of Auschwitz, does not draw the right lessons from them and does not prevent these crimes against the Palestinians. Instead, he had nothing more urgent to do than prostitute himself in the UN Security Council as the "voice of Israel" for their interests. He has recently voted against a "pro-Palestinian resolution" and called on the Palestinian side to reduce the number of resolutions in the UN's annual "Middle East Package". What else remains for the Palestinians under decades of occupation to draw the public's attention to their threatened situation ?!
Mendacious German politics: White washing of the "Jewish occupation state
Even more vehemently acts the Central Council of Jews (who, according to the picture, "otherwise does not interfere with foreign policy", but here constantly as a "second representation" of the Israeli government occurs, which of course does not mention this sheet!). Also FDP, "Bild- Hetzkampagnen-Kritik" and especially noteworthy the "Juso criticism" at the Federal Congress, which called on Maas "finally to stand up for fair votes and the 'frequent condemnation of Israel", which was "frighteningly high", to prevent. Everything helped protect the "Jewish Occupying State" and white washed.
Kevin Kühnert in particular is for me the example of misguided German politics. This young SPD "hope bearer" and shooting star, just elected to the party executive, has been attracting attention since 2012 with special "proximity to Israel", which is always helpful in politics. In 2014, he and the Jusos called for "solidarity with Israel" (the living conditions of the Palestinians living under occupation and great injustice obviously do not interest them), and in April 2018 appeared in the "Jewish General", the "battle sheet of the Central Council of the Jews", an article by which Kühnert attacked the then Foreign Minister Gabriel, who had "brought him to incandescence" and welcomed his replacement.
Now he supports and rejoices over his successor AA Maas. He said that he was "very similar to the stance", which the new Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas had already said before his inaugural visit to Israel: "I went into politics because of Auschwitz." He could sign this sentence of Maas, says Kühnert. For him, too, that had been the most important impulse to make politics. What a shabby understanding of politics, which is not for the observance of human rights for the Palestinian people and against the occupation, but one-sidedly only for Israel. (1) (2)
Netanyahu's long arm in all parties long since stretched out
If "Auschwitz" were indeed its impulse, then it would have to support all resolutions condemning international and human rights crimes of the "Jewish state", which are supported by the majority of states. Yes, Kevin Kühnert, with your attitude they are backward-looking and alone at home. The SPD, which becomes more and more unbelievable in its lavaring between right and left and continues to cling to the grand / co-power, is like you hypocritical and hypocritical and will, if she goes on like this, soon land in the single-digit range. But it seems that the long arm of Netanyahu has long been stretched out in all parties and at the cabinet table and is cheerfully pursuing Zionist politics. (2) (3) (4)
No criticism is heard from this Gro / Ko on the arbitrary arrests, released by Israeli human rights groups, last month alone of 374 Palestinians from across the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, including 66 children and women. While German media daily complain about Turkish arrests, war crimes and human rights crimes and put Russia on the daily pillory, the ongoing occupation crimes fall under the table. Why are not you even ashamed in the face of decades of war crimes in occupied Palestine as a result of the Holocaust?
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is still in power, said last Sunday at a right-wing conference that, after talks with US Secretary of State Pompeo, the time has now come to apply Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and assume that the US recognizes them , And that would legalize all the illegal settlements of "Judea and Samaria" in the occupied West Bank, both those in settlement blocks and those in front of them. They would become part of the "Jewish state" of Israel. The Jordan Valley accounts for about 28% of the occupied West Bank and is home to about 65,000 Palestinians.
Israel: a fanatical terrorist state
On Monday, it was announced that there would likely be new elections on March 2, 2020. Then we experience exactly what everyone feared: there is a prime minister under corruption and a former general, both with blood on their hands. The election forecasts predict a similar stalemate. Palestine has to stay outside again and is not of interest. (5)
Netanyahu has recently summarized the history of the "Jewish state" in one sentence: "These European countries should be ashamed. Did not learn anything from history? They allow a fanatical terrorist state to develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, leading to a catastrophe for all. "However, Netanyahu did mean Iran, not the" Jewish state. " So he let his rhetorical rage as a skilled distraction maneuver against the impending corruption suit run wild. He railed against Iran and criticized the six European countries that joined Britain, France and Germany last weekend to support the new so-called Instex Financial Interchange Mechanism, which will help Iran.
Is not it in reality that Iran is not a threat, a state that, unlike Israel, has not yet begun wars, but that the "Jewish state" is a fanatical "Zionist-Judaistic terror state", which it uses with the help of hypocritical community of nations is allowed to develop nuclear weapons and dirty weapons of all kinds and to apply them in wars – for attacks on its neighboring countries? This ethnic-purging apartheid, which is bombing Iran and causing genocide in Gaza and making Gaza a concentration camp, is indeed a threat to us all. (6)
Israel: a bomb and rogue state
Why does the "Jewish State" always understand how to build on myths that have nothing to do with reality? "Only" democracy in the Middle East, bulwark against terror. Yes, indeed with terror, this bombing state knows about. Early on, Jewish Zionist terrorists murdered in bombings and targeted attacks to create the "Jewish state". Forgotten everything, after all, these terrorists later became prime ministers or ministers with blood on their hands. If the Mossad carries out targeted killings with terror, then the world is silent. The "chosen" are allowed any means after the Holocaust, and they claim every right to murderous attacks that they sell to the world as "self-defense," while Palestinians and Muslims are denigrated as terrorists and have no rights.
Why are Russia or Iran sanctioned, North Korea or China demonized, Turkey and Erdogan demonized, while Netanyahu undauntedly led a decades-long terrorist regime and Israel has now become indisputably a rogue state. All that is criticized in other states and leads to boycott, is not applied to the "Jewish state".
Snipers of the Jewish "defensive army" take out the right to shoot unarmed protesters like rabbits, to assassinate. When Palestinians claim their right to protest against their illegal occupation, to protest travel restrictions, humiliation, demolitions, expropriations and expulsions, they are called terrorists, even though they only exercise their legal right of resistance, which is denied only in dictatorships. So what is the "Jewish state"? A state that under the eyes of the so-called "Western community of values" and under complete impunity occupy a people and robbed of its livelihood. That of all German politicians in this connection Auschwitz strive and demand a "never again", but portraying the land-robbing "Jewish apartheid-occupation state" better than living democracy is characterless. The ever-eager German values have degenerated into a sad parody. The fact that the Zionist regime, with the support of the Western community of states, can override all ethical values and norms also puts our democracy at risk!

GLOBAL SILENCE IS THE GREEN LIGHT FOR ISRAELI CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
November 20, 2019 at 11:21	(Associate Post, Collaboration, DesertPeace Exclusive, Israel)
The "Jewish state" is one of the world's most brutal apartheid and occupation regimes, which has never shied away from ethnic cleansing, Judaization and genocide. Why? This state can continue to present itself as a victim and thus justify any kind of criminal activity. The so-called "community of values" is silent on this.
Global Destabilization through Western Influence
What we are currently experiencing in the global Western creation of enemy images is beyond anything that began after the event of September 11, 2001. Again and again we should be made aware of the "threat of Islam", of course especially by "the" Muslims. Everything is permissible when it comes to the "clean" fight of Western states against the Islamist threat. It is suggested that we are dealing with only one enemy worldwide, the "Islamist terror", without, however, differentiating by taking "the Muslims" as a whole in charge. It is always WE, the Western "democracies", led by the US, who lead us into this crusade. This merciless hunt for fictional enemies, of course Muslims, Islamists,
With a fictitious threat to the "right-wing warfare"
So you could kill two birds with one stone, namely to eliminate the enemies from the outside and inside. How better than under this lied rhetoric could one hide the strategic and economic motives for wars and state infiltration. With the popular phrases of the "self-defense" and of the "human rights" one could sell these preventive wars as just, with purely humanitarian claim!
Meanwhile, this type of war policy is also internalized by the media, which always support in anticipatory obedience this dirty policy exactly as desired by the States involved. Thus, the fight against the allegedly threatening terrorism became an integral part of the war propaganda. The fact that the media are not afraid to operate with targeted misinformation, even from more than dubious government or intelligence sources that are difficult to verify, makes things even more unappetizing. Everything that is accused to the Internet with hate speech, hate comments and targeted false information that democracy is "eroded", but above all, it is due to the fact that this type of communication is precisely worked to us as citizens on the To bring "right course of war".
It used to be "the Russian", who was just around the corner as enemy number one, and more and more Muslims, Islam and the "Turks" are joining. Thus, under the leadership of the US, NATO and the "Jewish State", the West has managed to portray these "enemies of America" and of the "Jewish people" and Zionists everywhere as a lurking danger. Even a supposedly "Muslim anti-Semitism" is painted as a dangerous phenomenon on the wall.
"Defense" of the most brutal apartheid and occupation regime worldwide
What the "Jewish state" has been staging as a threat policy ever since the state was founded is now being copied by all western "democracies". This representation of the enemy justifies all means for the "Jewish State", supported by the community of states, which represents the occupation state of Israel as a democratic rock in the Middle Eastern surf, in the sense of fighting the "Islamic" and "Palestinian" terror. Thus, supported by "Western democracies", any kind of criminal Zionist oppression, occupation and attack policy can be seen as a just fight against terror and thus as an act of "self-defense".
When on Monday, 18.11.2019, one last taboo of US policy on Palestine fell, namely the announcement by Foreign Minister Pompeo that Israeli settlements were no longer in violation of international law, this was clearly a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention , which sees settlement construction as a violation of international law – a convention that the "Jewish state" has been trying to undermine for decades. After the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the "Jewish state" and the legitimacy of the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, this was the end of all communication with the Palestinians. It was a gift to Netanyahu and the approximately 600,000 settlers in the more than 200 Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, the annexed East Jerusalem, along with three million Palestinians. Netanyahu already sees himself and his regime confirmed and is pleased about the "correction of a historical decision". Benny Gantz, the adversary and "opposition leader," also welcomed the Trump government's decision. Israeli Foreign Minister Katz blended his praise on the EU and once again criticized the decision of the European Court of Justice to demand the labeling of Jewish settlement products.
Anti-Semitism through criminal acts of the "Jewish state"
Although the EU and its foreign policy chief Mogherini affirmed their clear position that all settlement activities are illegal under international law and undermine the viability of the two-state solution, that sounds good, but is in fact irrelevant as long as there is no change in policy towards Israel. Similarly, the criticism of UN Secretary General Guterres almost helpless. When the Jordanian Foreign Minister warns of "dangerous consequences", one wonders how well they look if the international community does not intervene with all consistency and reacts with sanctions and isolation of the "Jewish state". After all, the Trump government's policy on the Middle East is consistently setting itself apart from the course of international "partners," even as opposed to the US position of previous governments.
Especially in Germany, we experience a kind of support that has nothing to do with reality anymore. Neither the murders without trial (so-called "targeted killings"), nor the occupation policy are questioned. Everything is justified by the "special responsibility for the" Jewish state "and leads to ever closer proximity to Israel.
It is no longer the "Jewish state" that is condemned as the power of occupation and expansion, but Iran, Hezbollah, the Islamic Jihad and Hamas, whose religious fundamentalist ideology is being fought and demonized, while the Judaistic ideology is considered normal and compatible with our values is supported. How else can one explain that, despite UN condemnation and international criticism, international and human rights crimes committed by the Zionist regime remain sanctioned, while Russia and Iran are being punished with more and more sanctions and Turkey is being threatened with sanctions? This totally implausible, one-sidedly exalting Judaism and supporting Zionism policies can only lead to anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism, which has nothing in common with the "original Christian form", but today based on the "Jewish state" and its criminal acts. Far-right anti-Semitism has long since shifted dangerously to Islam hatred and xenophobia in general.
Islamophobia and philosemitism spread throughout the world as a religious virus
Islamophobia and philo-Semitism are today blended into a symbiosis of Christian-evangelical politics, a powerful force, especially in the US, that spreads across the world like a religious virus. These new evangelical friends of the "Jewish state" and the Jews are also driving forces in the fight against Islam and Muslims.
An interesting aspect in this context is the Israel support of the new right and parties such as the AfD in Germany. They outdo each other in their Israeli and Jewish affiliations and combine their Islam aversions with the alleged threat to the Jews, the "Jewish state" and Western civilization. So, if Israel and the Central Council warn the Jews against the AfD and condemn their policies, they should ask themselves how far they are not themselves pursuing exactly the same policies they accuse the right-wing parties.
The German government should finally free itself from its blind subservience to Israel, which is just not a democratic state, as we are repeatedly told. And no, responsibility from the past must not blind Germany to new crimes. Responsibility also means being responsible for what happens to the Palestinians under illegal Jewish-Zionist responsibility. This responsibility also means implementing the judgment of the European Court of Justice and marking goods from Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank as non-Israeli. This is only a minimal implementation of the BDS requirement, which wants to achieve a boycott of all goods from occupied Palestine.
"Western Christian-Jewish alliance" removed from all values
That only 70 years after the Holocaust German and Jewish "defense soldiers" and Eurofighter with the "Iron Cross", as well as Israeli jets with the "Star of David" in a joint maneuver in the Negev desert "learn from each other" should not pride us, but to meet with disgust! When in occupied Palestine, soldiers and fighter jets from the NATO countries USA, Italy and Greece practice together with the "Jewish occupying state", this only shows how far this "Western Christian-Jewish alliance" distances itself from all values Has.
For the Jewish "defense soldier" the past no longer plays a role, in contrast to the German colleague, who is pleased about the "positive mood" and the good relationship with the Israeli friends. But he does not even mention the Palestinians. So one is in agreement in the "common" goals. And there we are once again on Islam and combating terrorism.
The fact that neither Gaza nor the murdered members of a whole family are and were topics, is not surprising, but fits exactly to the mendacious German "Merkel-Staatsräson" policy. Even if the new Secretary of War Kramp-Karrenbauer, who indulges in dreams of foreign missions and mixes economic interests with war aims, which contradicts any German foreign policy, this fits in exactly with this pattern.
Endless list of destabilization by Western influence
And that leads me to the title of this commentary, the destabilization of Western influence. While Ukraine was "liberated" by the democratically elected President Yanukovych thanks to the US, and under Poroshenko even under US President Obama was replaced by a right-wing, western-oriented corrupt system, Russia has been isolated from Ukraine and thus initiated a "NATO Easter crept" , which leads to ever new distortions, war and hatred.
While Iran is suffering massively under US sanctions, the country is supposed to be brought to regime change with possibly undermined demonstrations, as so often tried and supported by the US.
In Egypt, the elected President Morsi was first disempowered by the "coup Pharaoh" al-Sisi and then driven to death, all with Western support.
Now, in Hong Kong, we are witnessing a violence of such brutal proportions that China will respond even more than mildly. If China were to act like the "Jewish state," then there would certainly be air strikes on Hong Kong, of course without regard to civilians. While the legal resistance of the Palestinians against the illegal occupation is condemned as terror, oppositionists and demonstrators in Hong Kong, Russia, Turkey and Venezuela are seen as "benevolent". The massive infiltration of Chinese, Russian, Turkish or Venezuelan demonstrators can only be guessed at!
In India, Muslims are persecuted by Hindus, and in Burma, Muslim Rohingya are expelled and persecuted by the "oh-so-peaceful" Buddhist majority.
Venezuela was and will be destabilized by the US, with special interference by the German Foreign Minister Maas, and is said to be brought to the regime change and overthrow of the elected President Maduro with a shortage, which fortunately failed.
Bolivia was also destabilized and its elected President Morales was exiled. As Chile suffers from demonstrations, Mexico is threatened with a Trump US Wall, and all of Central and South America has been disturbed, crowned with the election of a fascist in Brazil, Africa is becoming ever more civilized with weapons from Israel and the US brought. And although the German Federal Armed Forces are doing "peace work" in Mali and Afghanistan, the destabilization of Western influence is in full swing.
This list of infinite stories reads like a perpetual motion machine. But for me, the achievement of such political destabilization would only be achieved if it reached Palestine and the "Jewish state" so that the occupation ends and Palestine is finally free.
NETANYAHU'S LAST ATTEMPT TO STAY IN POWER ~~ BOMB GAZA!
November 14, 2019 at 14:20	(Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Palestine)
Benjamin Netanyahu's motivation in killing a Palestinian commander in Gaza was partly political, a former Israeli negotiator said today: Netanyahu aims to show that his chief rival to be prime minister, Benny Gantz, cannot be counted on to provide security to the country.

Netanyahu's Gaza attack targeted political foes Gantz and Joint List, says Israeli negotiator
Philip Weiss
Benjamin Netanyahu's motivation in killing a Palestinian commander in Gaza was partly political, a former Israeli negotiator said today: Netanyahu aims to show that his chief rival to be prime minister, Benny Gantz, cannot be counted on to provide security to the country. In the wake of the attack, a "convoy" of Netanyahu's political allies in the Likud party have issued statements that Gantz is not trustworthy because he will depend on the Joint List of Palestinian parties in order to become prime minister, the negotiator said.
Moty Cristal, a former peace negotiator and lt. colonel in the Israeli army, spoke on i24 News today and said that the timing of the attack was not "purely taking advantage of the window of opportunity" to kill Baha Abu al-Ata, the leader of Islamic Jihad in Gaza. In fact, Cristal said, Avigdor Lieberman has said that when he was Defense Minister (2016-2018), Netanyahu rejected his recommendation that Israel kill Abu al-Ata. Islamic Jihad reportedly attacked Israel in September — when Netanyahu was forced off a stage in Ashkelon out of concern that he was within range.
Cristal said there was likely a "strong combination" of political motives in Netanyahu's decision to attack, in the form of Gantz's "ticking clock." Gantz has eight days to form a new government in a charge from the Israeli president. One of his only ways to do so is to form a tenuous "minority" governing coalition with the 44 members of his party and other center-left Jewish parties and the outside support of the 13 members of the Israeli parliament from the Joint List of largely-Arab parties.
Israeli rightwingers have repeatedly smeared the Joint List in recent months as a fifth column on which the center-left is dependent. Netanyahu also went in for fearful race-baiting against Arabs in the recent campaign. saying they want to "annihilate" Jewish Israelis. Gantz and center-right kingmaker Lieberman have promised that they would never include the Joint List in a coalition government.
The accusations against Gantz and the Joint List have been repeated by Netanyahu Likud Party loyalists in the last day, Cristal said. These politicians are part of Netanyahu's personal firewall: a potential governing coalition that will guarantee him immunity from prosecution on corruption charges that are expected to be filed against him in coming weeks.
The assassination in Gaza led to scores of rockets from Islamic Jihad and then Israeli attacks killing seven inside Gaza; and the hostilities have thrown Israel into considerable fear. Schools and businesses in Israel were shut down today; and i24 News anchors reflected worry over what will happen tomorrow.
The crisis has also highlighted tensions with Iran that may serve Netanyahu politically. Iran is in the headlines as the supporter of Palestinian resistance forces including Islamic Jihad. Yossi Alpher at Peace Now says that Netanyahu may see political advantage in leveraging tensions with Iran to show that he is Israel's necessary leader, or to get Donald Trump to support him more visibly. Michael Oren's article in the Atlantic warning of a war with Iran must be seen as a communique from Oren's former boss, Netanyahu, Alpher says– possibly "to generate a Trump campaign to influence Israeli public opinion in Netanyahu's favor, either during the final month of coalition maneuvering or during a third round of elections early in 2020."
There is also a chance, Alpher says, that hostilities with Iranian proxies would "hasten formation of an emergency national-unity government," uniting Gantz and Netanyahu, in which Gantz would have to drop his insistence that he would not serve with a prime minister under investigation.
THE STAR OF DAVID AS A SYMBOL OF OPPRESSION
November 14, 2019 at 13:36	(Associate Post, DesertPeace Exclusive, Germany, Israel, Oppression, Palestine)
The Holocaust seems to justify all means and overrides human rights and international law when it comes to the "Jewish state".
The Flag as a Symbol of Oppression and Exclusion
It is to be thanked for the criticism of the left-wing town councilor Simon Aulepp that finally a dispute and a basis for discussion arise in Germany. Who is Jewish and what does Judaism mean in Germany? (1) He asks the legitimate question of whether the city council would raise the flag of Saudi Arabia at the town hall, if Muslims were killed in an attack in Germany? However, in this context, Saudi Arabia seems unhelpful. I would find Turkey the right state in this context when it comes to expressing sympathy in racist murders. After all, about 3.5 million Turkish citizens live in Germany.
No solidarity with an army that shows "hatred and joy in killing"!
While protests are made when Turkish footballers salute, it is happily accepted that German citizens volunteer for the Jewish "Defense Army" and thus support an army that secures the illegal occupation of Palestine by all means contrary to international law, an army that According to own soldiers who broke their silence, "shows hatred and joy of killing". (2) (3) (4)
What are these double standards. It seems that when it comes to Muslims and Turks, you feel the Islamophobia that has seized Germany and Europe. Has Germany, the German Federal Government, ever thought of hoisting the Turkish flag as a sign of mourning or sympathy after the NSU murders of Turkish-born people? Never would this gesture have been considered. Yes, the Holocaust remains unforgotten forever, but gives no right to instrumentalize it unilaterally.
The question that Aulepp posed to the mayor of Kassel, Christian Geselle, was polemically exaggerated, but absolutely justified. The David Star flag has nothing to do with the failed attack of a far-right culprit in the synagogue in Halle. It would have been right, and I fully agree with Aulepp to set the German flag at half-mast in order to demonstrate German sympathy. After all, it was not an attack on the "Jewish state" but an act against a religious community. However, one already wonders in view of the answer of the OB journeyman, which faith does he actually have? When asked by the press, he did mean that the hoisting of the Israeli flag should be seen as a "clear sign of solidarity with the people of the Jewish faith." And:
Do not abuse anti-Semitism to cover up the politics of Israel!
The same is true in the Jewish community and was pleased that the flag hung in front of the town hall. Since one wonders how it can be that Jewish citizens are pleased about this Flag Hissung, they only show that all criticism of Jews is justified, if they are behind the "Jewish State" and solidarisieren with this. Even if the Chairman of the German-Israeli Society thinks that "Judaism and the State of Israel can not be separated", this is a sign of a false understanding. As long as Jews in the diaspora do not clearly separate state and religion, there will never be a "normal" coexistence. It seems to me that the "Jewish State" and its lobby are very convenient, when you use anti-Semitism and can cover up the politics of Israel with it, and to avoid criticism of this at all. Likewise, the "Jewish state" finds it very convenient if Diaspora Jews are scared, insecurity is created, so that they increasingly emigrate to Israel. A dangerous kind of politics that generates anti-Semitism.
Of course that brings us to the topic of instrumentalizing a religion. There is no "Jewish people" but only a Jewish religious community, see also Schlomo Sand. (5) (6) Ever since the claim of recognition of Israel as a "Jewish state" began, this amalgamation of Judaism and politics began as a model of domination and oppression. Israel is a state that has established itself in the land of Palestine and has systematically displaced approximately 750,000 Palestinians since its founding in 1948, the Nakba disaster. This expulsion must not be remembered, because one fears the exposure. For this reason, one tries again and again to insist on the "recognition of the right to exist, which now belongs to the" German state reason ". A completely absurd concern to recognize a state which has neither fixed limits nor a constitution. Especially in Germany one tries again and again to discredit and prevent the Nakba exhibition from the Israel lobby. (7) (8)
This illegal land grab is known worldwide, criticized, condemned by UN decisions, but never sanctioned or sanctioned. Any measures that the Western "community of values" can so easily impose or threaten against Russia, Iran, Turkey and other states do not come into effect in the "Jewish state".
Do not abuse the Holocaust to override human and international law!
The Holocaust seems to justify all means and overrides human rights and international law when it comes to the "Jewish state". This affects Germany of course extremely, due to the perpetrator's past. But this philo-Semitic policy is in no way justifiable, but on the contrary creates a defense. If, as has happened so often, Chancellor Merkel warrants all wars of aggression, ethnic cleansing or preventive murder with "self-defense", this can never be reconciled with "German-Christian values".
German Jews, who profess to Judaism as a denomination, pay the same religious tax as Christian "brothers in faith" to the German state. Now is the question to ask, does the Jewish religious tax go partly or entirely to the "Jewish state"? If you look at the behavior of German politics in their behavior towards Jews and Israel, then you have to deal with this topic. Do German citizens of Jewish faith have a German or an Israeli passport?
If then also the SPD leader of the SPD party accused parts of the left to question the right of existence of Israel, then this is an embarrassing distraction maneuver of this incident. Israel's right to exist depends solely on that state, and is neither legitimate nor secure unless this state gives up the illegal occupation of Palestine, does not stop aggressive policies against its neighbors, and decides not to live in peace with its environment. (9) (10)
No special role, for NOTHING and NOBODY!
The "Jewish State" was designed from the ground up to occupy a land for Jewish citizens alone, and from the beginning, all the claims of the indigenous peoples were concluded with the words "given by God" and "return to the 2,000-year-old homeland of the Jewish people." Palestine, the Palestinian. It has come a long way with this policy. The legal right of return, which the UN affirms by resolution, is denied by the "community of values", while Israel's claim to Palestine is reiterated as a violation of international law. Everything is supported by a guilty conscience, traumatization of guilt after the Holocaust. This special philosemitic German policy leads us directly into new guilt and anti-Semitism, which does not stop at critical Jews.
Influenced by the Central Council of Jews and other international Jewish organizations, it has managed to put the bond between diaspora Jews and the "Jewish State" on a dangerous pedestal, which should be strictly separated in reality. As long as Jewish citizens do not clearly decide whether they feel like German citizens with all their rights and duties, or as Israeli citizens who are in doubt about their true identity, there can never be the desired and so important normality in living together. It seems to me, despite all the testimonies of German Jewish officials, this "normality" is not wanted. Only by this abnormal special position and exaggeration can be pointed to the constant threat of the "Jewish state",
Can Jewish citizens really run into this trap? Do they want to be recognized as fully fledged citizens or as "protected" exotics? It is particularly bad when the newly created Office of the Federal Government, the "Anti-Semitism Commissioner", constantly emphasizes this role. Although we have a flood of this new "professional group", we do need a racist commissioner who puts the attacks on Muslims and mosques and refugee homes on the same level as anti-Semitism attacks. No special role, for NOTHING and NOBODY!
The Star of David flag is the symbol of oppression and exclusion!

PALESTINOPHOBIA … THE LATEST FROM JARED KUSHNER
November 4, 2019 at 10:10	(Collaboration, Israel, Palestine)
Judging by the way he has been ranting about brown, native Palestinians, he must have had similar views of the likes of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Obviously his role models are Hendrik Verwoerd, P. W. Botha, Ariel Sharon, Menachem Begin—to mention but a few fanatical defenders of racism and settler-colonialism.
On Jared Kushner's Palestinophobia
Haidar Eid
Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's Middle East adviser and son-in-law is at it again. In June, he cast doubt about the ability of the Palestinian people to govern themselves. And, as if that was not enough, he made it absolutely clear this week that Israel is not responsible for Palestinian hardship.
"Israel is not the cause of all the suffering of the Palestinian people," Kushner told the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. He went on: "If you want to go and invest in the West Bank or Gaza, the issue that's holding you back is the fear of terrorism and that your investment could be destroyed."
In my response to his previous racist remarks, I argued that it was racism 101. His biologist approach to race and ethnicity cannot be separated from the orientalist ideology that drove the classical colonialism of the 19th century. Here you have a colonial envoy, not unlike the British and French envoys of the heydays of colonialism, blaming the victims, as Edward Said would put it. Brown, native Palestinians are backward so much so that they should be appreciative of the generosity of apartheid Israel and Zionism and welcome Israeli peaceful soldiers with open arms. Any act of resistance on their side is deemed to failure and amounts to a form of terrorism that destroys any investment made by foreign businesses.
Forget about Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, forget about the more than 600 military checkpoints slicing what remains of the West Bank, and the more than 60 discriminatory laws against Israel's Palestinian citizens. Forget about the blockade of Gaza described as "incremental genocide" by Ilan Pappe, and the fact that Gaza, according to a UN report, will become "unlivable" by 2020. Forget about the thousands of deaths in three genocidal wars described by mainstream human rights organizations and UN fact-finding missions as "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" carried out by the Israeli military against the 2 million civilians of Gaza within a period of six years. Forget about 71 years of dispossession and ethnic cleansing and the fact that there are 7 million Palestinian refugees entitled to their right of return in accordance with UN resolution 194. And of course you have to forget about the increasing number of Jewish-only settlements, that all come with the unconditional support of the United States of America.
But doesn't Mr. Kushner know this?
What did he think of the white rule of South Africa under the apartheid regime? Did he also think that "black terrorism" was responsible for the suffering of the majority of the population there? That Africans were to blame for their own suffering?
But you don't even have to leave the United States. What did he think of the suffering of African Americans under the Jim Crow laws? Judging by the way he has been ranting about brown, native Palestinians, he must have had similar views of the likes of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Obviously his role models are Hendrik Verwoerd, P. W. Botha, Ariel Sharon, Menachem Begin—to mention but a few fanatical defenders of racism and settler-colonialism.
Actually, I imagine Mr. Kushner claims to respect Mandela, King, and even Mahatma Gandhi. And that leaves us Palestinians in a completely separate category where our non-violent, peaceful resistance to occupation, apartheid and settler-colonialism is considered a form of terrorism. Any act of defiance on our part is rejected outright. Unlike Mandela and King, we are Palestinian Arabs with an intrinsic tendency for terrorism. And this, in short, exemplifies Jared Kushner's Palestinophobia, a combination of racism, orientalism, and colonialism directed toward Palestinians who, for him, should not have been there from the beginning.
THE ISRAELI NON GOVERNMENT'S FIRST MOVE
October 10, 2019 at 14:15	(Activism, Boycott Israel, Israel, Palestine)
Israel's Minister of the Interior says he is taking action to force Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, out of the country.
Israel prepares to deport BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti
Jonathan Ofir
I intend to act quickly to deprive Omar Barghouti of residency status in Israel… This is a man who does everything to harm the country and therefore must not enjoy the right to be a resident of Israel.
Aryeh Deri said he had directed the Population and Immigration Authority to prepare a legal opinion aimed at Barghouti's deportation.
The announcement comes after Deputy Attorney General Dina Zilber notified Deri's office that it had the authority to revoke Barghouti's residency. The legal basis: a 2018 amendment to the residency law, listing "breach of trust" as a crime which may justify stripping a residency status. Barghouti married a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and lives under the residency status in the city of Acre.
Imagine it – the state "trusts" you to not take it to task for its violations, it "trusts" you to not complain and to accept these violations, and if you protest, even in a non-violent and civil manner, you have breached that "trust".
Barghouti has long been a target for fascistic suggestions. In a 2016 anti-BDS conference sponsored by the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot, then Minister of Transportation and Intelligence Israel Katz suggested "targeted civil eliminations" of BDS leadership. "Targeted elimination" is a well-known Israeli term for assassination. He merely added the "civil" to make it sound more "civil". Barghouti was singled out by name, and the anti-BDS Czar Gilad Erdan said that BDS activists will "pay a price". "We will soon be hearing more of our friend Barghouti", Erdan hinted insidiously.
Soon after that, the local Ministry of the Interior office notified Barghouti that his travel document (which he has to renew every two years) would not be renewed. It was then temporarily renewed following legal pressure. Barghouti told Glenn Greenwald at the time:
So we are really unnerved, I am personally quite unnerved by those threats. We take them very seriously, especially in this context. We live in a country where racism and racial incitement against indigenous Palestinians has grown tremendously into the Israeli mainstream. It has really become mainstream today to be very openly racist against Palestinians. Many settlers and hard-right-wing Israelis are taking matters into their own hands – completely supported by the state – and attacking Palestinians. So in that context I am unnerved, but I'm certainly undeterred. I shall continue my non-violent struggle for Palestinian rights under international law and nothing they can do will stop me.
Barghouti was indeed "targeted", but so far only by the "civil" means of preventing his travels by bureaucratic means. Lately that has included US and UK initiatives, with nebulous holdups and refusals which the governments didn't seek to defend.
In the US case last April, Barghouti was stopped at the Israeli Ben Gurion airport and denied travel to the US, despite having a valid visa. James Zogby of the Arab American Institute, which had been coordinating the trip, commented:
Omar Barghouti is a leading Palestinian voice on human rights. Omar's denial of entry into the US is the latest example of the Trump administration's disregard for those rights.
In the UK case from last month, Barghouti was meant to speak at a fringe event of the Labour conference, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC). He ended up speaking on skype, due to an "unexplained, abnormal delay" in the issuing of his visa. PSC said in a statement:
The unprecedented delay in processing Barghouti's travel visa application by the British government is part and parcel of the growing efforts by Israel and its allies to suppress Palestinian voices and the movements for Palestinian rights,
The recent move to revoke Barghouti's residency seems to result from a right-wing incitement campaign by the group Betzalmo (a pun on the human rights monitoring group B'tselem). They wrote to Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit and to Deri just over a week ago, urging them to expel Barghouti. In their letter they noted the US's denial of entry, and asked why the Israeli government has not acted to strip Barghouti of his residency rights. They elaborated that Barghouti harms the state, breaches allegiance and is a security threat:
A recent law authorizes the Interior Minister, with the approval of the attorney-general, to revoke residency for anyone who harms state security or violates allegiance to the state, or endangers public peace… Undoubtedly Barghouti's leadership of the boycott movement against all citizens of the State of Israel severely harms the State of Israel and is a blatant breach of allegiance, as well as a threat to Israel's security and defense by pushing for an arms embargo against Israel.
So: The green light from the Attorney-General's office, a further green light from Deri's office, and the machine seems set to deport the "traitor".
For Israel, Barghouti proves that you can't trust Palestinians to shut up, and that they need to learn it the hard way. But every step that Israel takes in its repressive attempt to silence dissent, becomes another reason to boycott it. Indeed, as Erdan promised, we've heard a lot from, and about, Omar Barghouti. And we're bound to hear much more about him, and BDS.

THE END OF TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY
September 4, 2019 at 14:43	(Associate Post, Collective Punishment, Corrupt Politics, DesertPeace Exclusive, Israel, Middle East, Palestine)
Week after week, Israel is trying hard to fuel conflicts. Again and again they fly air strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, then against Assad in Syria, then against Iraq. They take the right to use drones to "monitor" the residents and the foreign airspace. Everything is being attempted to prepare a war against Iran and Lebanon with this policy of provocations and pinpricks, which does not stop at human victims.
With Blessings from the 'Chosen One'
Territorial integrity for all states!
What about the term "territorial integrity"? If the Netanyahu regime continues to violate them and invoke threats and "self-defense"? Will territorial integrity be tacitly suspended if Zionists violate it? It seems so in the face of Israel's constant attacks on sovereign neighboring states. Week after week, Israel is trying hard to fuel conflicts. Again and again they fly air strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, then against Assad in Syria, then against Iraq. They take the right to use drones to "monitor" the residents and the foreign airspace. Everything is being attempted to prepare a war against Iran and Lebanon with this policy of provocations and pinpricks, which does not stop at human victims. The psychological warfare is also used by the Netanyahu regime, and one does not shy away from being staged with fake blood to suggest to the public a Hezbollah attack with Israeli victims that did not exist! This regime and its "defensive army" are afraid of nothing to achieve their darker goals. (1)
The new state religion of the Israeli state terror regime
This Jewish "defense army", which not only conducts raids, targeted murders, demolitions of houses and the Jewish occupation of Palestine on behalf of the Jewish "state terror regime", has now become a magnet for young Jewish Diaspora Jews. Through worldwide Hasbara propaganda, young Jews are taught this army as the new state religion. Massive agitation campaigns promote a "Sabbath year" in the "most moral defense army," so as to engage young Jews in the diaspora to connect with the "Jewish state." This type of advertisement for this new "state religion", also here in Germany, should be just as inadmissible as the recruitment for Syrian fighters. If it were a Muslim state, it would certainly be stopped immediately.
While Israel's lobby, like mushrooming countless "anti-Semitism commissioners," the Central Council of Jews, or other "Christian Zionists" willingly be allowed to trim textbooks and teachers on "Israel course," there should finally be double standards while Jewish agitations and schools can always be sure of "Christian-Jewish" solidarity.
One of our "values", which is always explained by politicians, is certainly not the support of the mediation of illegal Israeli politics, which on the contrary would have to be stopped immediately! There can be no recruiting for foreign armies from German soil, and that includes the "Jewish State" and the IDF. Because this army uses weapons and soldiers to maintain the illegal occupation; that is, these crimes that violate international law must not be supported by German soil. This support for Israel does not contribute to peacekeeping but drives Germany into a new debt. Therefore, there can be no German state reason for the Nibelung loyalty to the "Jewish state" at the expense of the Palestinians.
Annexation "with God's help"
Israel has been trying for years to involve the US in a war with Iran. While US President Trump avoids war for his campaign, colleague Netanyahu seems to need the war to make his campaign more bloody. He is currently announcing to his "chosen people" that there will be no more settlements so that the 600,000 Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem can be sure of their "eternal right of abode". Under the slogan "this is our land" he insists on the annexation of the Jewish settlements and wants to "help with God's help" to achieve sovereignty of all settlements in the "biblical" land of Israel.
The fact that he is getting closer and closer to this "final solution to the Palestinian question" seems more and more likely in view of the impunity and the looking away of the international community. Due to the "special treatment" when it comes to the "Jewish state", even laws lose their validity and are annulled! Systematic Israeli crimes have been tolerated for decades, while the UN and EU abandon the Palestinian people and expose them to injustice.
The respected South African lawyer John Dugard at the DLF learned sobering facts about the power of the "Jewish state". In secret meetings and pressure against the Chief Prosecutor of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Fatou Bensouda, she was forced to stop investigating the Israeli crimes requested by the Palestinian Authority.
"Green light" for screaming injustice
So if Jewish governments get "green light" from the ISGH for the injustice that has been shouting for decades, then what else can one expect from politicians and governments?
Especially the German government and the German Federal President should be aware of the responsibility they have towards the Palestinian people, the last victims of Nazi rule! The warm words of Federal President Steinmeier on the occasion of the central commemoration ceremony on the occasion of the German invasion of Poland, with which began 80 years ago, the Second World War, were not very credible, you can see the sad reality.
While Steinmeier asks for forgiveness for Germany's crimes and historical guilt and points to the suffering of the victims, then it would be time to take a look at the founding of the "Jewish state" of Israel and the expulsion of the Palestinians from their homeland, because Without the Holocaust, this would be inconceivable. Likewise the US Vice Pence, who said at the same commemoration ceremony these words "freedom is the destiny for all mankind". Unfortunately, it is precisely the US government that actively contributed to the Palestinians living under Jewish Zionist occupation being excluded from this freedom.
Racially motivated disinterest in the Palestinians
Yes, the Holocaust has also victimized the Palestinians. But this guilt ignores Germany, one sees the one-sided German policy towards the "Jewish state" and the obviously racially motivated lack of interest in the Palestinians and their claim to self-determination and freedom, with the constant painstaking repetition of the phrase "the two-state solution "Who have neither wanted nor want the Netanyahu regime and all the other regimes before.
Steinmeier would be well advised if he finally recognized the overdue guilt and responsibility towards the Palestinians, and so did a speech in illegally occupied Palestine. The German arrogance, which makes perverse differences in the victim rating, is a shame. While Jewish victims and their descendants are unilaterally supported with all their might, this is considered superfluous by Palestinians. Jewish Zionist perpetrators are always seen in the right, while Palestinians are always suspected of terror.The Zionist Hasbara propaganda has masterfully managed to implant this reversal of guilt in German politician brains. Germany has internalized its guilt and atonement so deeply that it is easy to use this behavior specifically by "Jewish lobby groups".
While we fully support NATO aggression and indulge in US ties, Russia is steadily becoming an enemy. In the Russian Crimea, international law is endeavored and interpreted unilaterally, it does not matter in the illegal occupation of Palestine! While sanctions against Russia or Iran are decided with ease, they are seen as anti-Semitic sacrilege against the "Jewish state".
German guilt is indivisible
How could Germany just allow it, at the commemoration in Poland and before in the commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz, to exclude Russia? Was not it Soviet soldiers who liberated Auschwitz and was it not 27 million war victims that the Soviet Union had to complain about?German guilt is indivisible and can not be used like Hasbara propaganda at will, as in the current case of the "German-Soviet non-aggression pact," which haunts content as undifferentiated as "Hitler-Stalin pact" by the media. (2)
Operating peace policy means that today's Russia under President Putin should be our partner. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu fill this role. The danger increases that we are drawn by their policies more and more into wars and illegal international actions, which will never let AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN.
International law should be binding on all countries, including, of course, the Jewish state. Territorial integrity applies to all states, including those that are arbitrarily attacked by the "Jewish state". To stop these attacks must also be German responsibility.

CHOSEN BY GOD TO CONQUER
August 28, 2019 at 12:32	(Associate Post, Collective Punishment, DesertPeace Exclusive, Germany, Israel, Palestine)
Let us not allow the slogan "God, God, God, you have chosen us to conquer" lead to the final solution.
God, God, God, you have chosen us to conquer
Again and again, Zionist politicians try to justify their terrorist crimes with Old Testament and Talmud proverbs. The 71-year massacre of Deir Yassin was one of the first cruel examples of wanton and rabid Zionist killing. When Menachem Begin, the then leader of the Irgun terrorist group, described this massacre of the inhabitants of this place, women, men and children, as a "magnificent act of conquest," he exclaimed, "Israel made history with this attack, as in Deir Yassin we will attack and strike the enemy everywhere. God, God, God, you have chosen us to conquer. " (1) (2)
Today, 71 years later, after a large-scale attack in Syria, Prime Minister Netanyahu "tweeted" against "Iranian religious guards" and Hezbollah, as well as trying to justify the Talmud: "If someone gets up to kill you, kill him first."
Terrorists as top politicians
It seems as if before and after the founding of the state in 1948 it helped to promote career in the "Jewish state", if one had a terrorist background and earned his spurs in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in Zionist militias, which later merged into the Jewish "defensive army" and whose commanders later all became political leaders. These terrible massacres belonged to the Zionist strategy that led to the Nakba, the catastrophe for the Palestinian people, which continues to this day.
Terrorism, military occupation and colonial expansion are among the most important Zionist values and their tactics. Just as the Zionist movement and its organizations placed terrorist acts, such as bombs on vegetable markets and explosives, in full cafés by their leaders before the founding of the state, to gain control of Palestine is unprecedented. Especially since all of the responsible terrorists later became politicians, prime ministers and ministers – like Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin, Ariel Sharon, Yitzhak Shamir, Moshe Dayan and Rafael Eitan, just to name a few of the "chosen" leaders. This list could be completed for a few pages, and it would be so bloody and violently littered, and hardly bearable in cruel perversities.
The ruthless Zionist strategy of ethnic cleansing and destructive warfare, and decades of illegal occupation of Palestine to this day, shows how ruthlessly one behaved against children, the old and the frail.
Permanent fact twist
To this day, every Zionist state terror regime has always described itself as a "small threatened people" that must act in order not to be destroyed. With this permanent twisting of facts, this state, armed to the teeth and by no means threatened, with at least nuclear weapons, was able to continually perfect the attacking, threatening, murdering, occupation, land grabbing and ethnic cleansing by referring to the phrase "never again holocaust" , It has to be repeated, the Holocaust does not justify all means and crimes. (2)
The Holocaust is actually one of the worst crimes in history, but just one in the long history of humanity, and yes, we have to do everything for it, and that is our mission from our story that "never again" is a genocide! And above all, do not look the other way, if injustice happens, not even when it comes to Israel, which has done wrong for decades!
Even before the founding of the state in 1948, long before the Holocaust, around 1881, the leaders of the Zionist movement in Europe began the colonization of Palestine to make it the "exclusive home" for Jews, ignoring the rights of the indigenous Arab population and paving the way for the Nakba – Ruins of the destroyed Palestinian villages and expulsion of their inhabitants. The "uprooting and emptying", the "transfer" of refugees and residents, was from the beginning of state doctrine and is still practiced today. Again and again "resettled", expelled and massacred, everything is justified with the security of the "Jewish state" and its Jewish residents. This violent legacy that still shapes the state of Israel today.
How long will the Zionist state terrorist aggression accept?
It has not changed much, rather it has the feeling that everything has become much worse by the cowardly silence of the so-called "world community", which now also endangers world peace. Certainly it is not Iran that threatens Israel with a holocaust, as the Israeli regime's Zionist hasbara propaganda tells us, but in fact it is the "Jewish Chosen Exclusivity" on Palestine and the daily threat to its neighbors. (3)
The Jewish state takes the right to attack sovereign states. Targeted and merciless, the Jewish "defense army" is out to murder and, as it wants, repeatedly attacks targets in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. As always without proof, but with active media and political support.
Even Hezbollah's domestic opponent, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, was forced by the "Star Wars drone attack" last Sunday to declare in a statement the Israeli "aggression" threatening stability in the region and exacerbating tensions. But even these aggression do not raise the alarm bells in the community of states, and I wonder how long will you still accept the regular Zionist state terrorist aggression without contradiction? Will you wait until the first "Star of David" atomic bomb, perhaps shot down by a German submarine, is used "preventively" because of a perceived threat?
Instead of the sick relationship with Israel, friendship with Iran and with Russia!
Servile make the German government – the politicians as well as the media – always the official propaganda of the Israeli Hasbara own. On the other hand, it is emphasized again and again that one does not want a new war, but in fact the continuous attacks are already being worked on.
Why do not we resist when the US and Israel try to change world politics with maximum pressure and deals in their favor? Why do not we hear from the German "Auschwitz Minister" on this explosive topic? When will Germany finally start to make a policy in OUR interests, with Iran and with Russia? A good neighborhood and friendship with these countries should be important to us. It is not the apartheid state of Israel that should be our ally, but Israel that abandons the occupation of Palestinian land and respects international law and human rights!
The German ill relationship to Israel and the morbid behavior of some Christian Zionists is exemplified by the Hessian anti-Semitism commissioner, mayor and city treasurer Becker, who hallucinates of a "noise of anti-Semitism" in "broad sections of society". You can only shake your head over how brainwashing goes on with the help of dubious Israel lobbyists to make any form of Israel criticism impossible. It fits in that media, schools, universities and other public education institutions should be trimmed on "Israel course". Becker also shares his opinion (!) That the BDS movement is anti-Semitic, which it definitely and demonstrably does not, and he also repeatedly discredits this non-violent, also supported by Jews protest campaign publicly as "hatred of the Jews". (4)
Should the last "hardcore Zionists" wait for the biblical end time!
The Germans should finally take an example of Jewish US citizens who are increasingly turning away from politicians and parties that support and finance the "Jewish state" and its murderous occupation and expulsion policies. In the end, only the "hardcore Zionists" and their evangelical helpers, the allies of AIPAC and similar Jewish lobby groups and friends of the occupation will remain in the US. They can then wait together for the biblical end time. It is obvious that all these enemies of peace are not interested in a peaceful solution and they prefer to head for a disaster a la Armaggedon.

JERUSALEM ~~ WORLD'S CAPITAL OF OCCUPATION AND OPPRESSION
August 14, 2019 at 13:42	(Associate Post, Corrupt Politics, DesertPeace Exclusive, Germany, Israel, Palestine, Status of Jerusalem)
What is happening under our very eyes should shame us all, it is the unresolved question that should never be separated from the Holocaust and that the "Jewish state" again and again as a license for their crimes against human rights and international law, robbery, raids and use Zionist propaganda.
Capital of the Occupation and Oppression
Imagine that Jews all over the world are celebrating their highest holidays, such as Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) or Rosh Hashanah (New Year), and they would be prevented from praying. Surely there would be a media excitement around the globe! In contrast, millions of Muslims around the globe are celebrating the Eid-al-Adha sacrifice and helplessly witnessing their Palestinian peers seeking to pray on the Haram al-Sharif and the Al-Aqsa Mosque , Zionist occupation forces and Jewish settlers, members of the extremist "Temple Mountain groups, have attempted to storm the holy mosque. After the Jewish extremists and occupation troops had injured the Muslim believers with rubber bullets, thugs and tear gas, at least 61 injured were to be lamented. Among them also Awqaf officials of the Jordanian authority, which administers the Haram al-Sharif. Jordan protested, as so often before.
Israel is allowed everything
The far-right Israeli Minister of Public Security, Gilad Erdan, known for his racist failures, revealed his stupidity and instinctlessness and allowed some 1,700 extremist Jews to enter Haram al-Sharif. The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately condemned this brazen provocation, which causes only anger and frustration, especially on the first day of the Sacrifice. They also called on the international community to intervene for Israel to stop this behavior. What do these threats mean to the Netanyahu regime? Also, the call of the Palestinian "Vichy Abbas" PA to Arab and Islamic states to "take action" against the international community and Israel to stop the aggression against worshipers, only a helpless attempt remained without effect. The demand for a special session of the UN Security Council was also ineffective. This shows once again clearly: Israel is allowed to do everything and does everything that contributes to the consolidation of the occupation and Judaisierung.
The al-Aqsa mosque is the third most important mosque in Islam and is for Palestinians the symbol and memory of occupation and oppression of their homeland. Year after year, extremist Jewish politicians try to conquer the "Temple Mount" and hoist the symbol of the Israeli occupation there, the Star of David flag. They want to complete the final solution of the Judaization with the temple mountain appropriation. It could threaten to fulfill this desire after US President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the "eternal Jewish capital," as Netanyahu demanded.
The community of states reveals its alleged "values" when it comes to Israeli crimes, and looks on cowardly and makes the Israeli injustice against the Palestinian people happen year after year. Racism is certainly at stake, because it is "only" about Muslims and Palestinians, who are also denied any right to non-violent resistance if they dare to defend themselves against illegal occupation and Israeli land grabbing. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of Muslims came to pray, millions should be !!!!!!
Less and less willing to support Israel's fascist repression policy
Time and again attempts are being made to postpone the status quo, especially when Israeli politicians like Netanyahu shake it up and try more and more provocations because they are so terribly sure they will win again and again.
There is a small glimmer of hope because more and more democratic US Jews, especially more and more young Jewish US citizens, are turning their backs on the "Jewish state" and are no longer willing to support its fascist oppressive policies against the Palestinian people.
When will we finally experience such changes in Germany? As long as Jews continue to support this "Jewish state" and its criminal occupation policy without criticism, they should not be surprised if they are held responsible for these crimes. While the corporate media in Germany criticize criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism, the real existing Islam hatred is downplayed – as well as the problem with the right-wing extremists, which we have for decades and never really dealt with, to grab it at the root. This began after the end of the war, when old Nazis returned to high posts and emigrants were denied integration. You have always been busy with a left-wing hunt, while you are blind in the right eye. The constant media brainwashing has internalized the majority of Germans so that it will be difficult to change. Therefore, the AfD and other right-wing populist parties have an easier time gaining a foothold, as they are especially mentally attached to the "Jewish state" when it comes to fighting Islam and Muslims. As long as German people's representatives meanwhile denigrate Jewish Israel critics and court "Israel friends" and replace anti-Semitism with philosemitism, it will look bleak in Germany.
Berlin wall divided a city, the Zionist apartheid wall all Palestine
On August 13, the building of the Berlin Wall was commemorated 58 years ago in Berlin. While the 155-kilometer structure "only" shared a city and this division ended on November 9, 1989, with the fall of the wall, the Zionist apartheid wall divides the whole of Palestine and runs across illegally occupied Palestinian land. This 15-year-old disastrous Apartheid Wall is 760 kilometers long, over 9 meters high, and Israel violates international law with its construction, according to a report commissioned by the UN General Assembly. But that does not seem to get either the "Auschwitz Minister" or the international community to rethink, and that should shame us ALL! As a native of Berlin, I know exactly what I am writing about. While the wall dead (140/327?) Is thought, one forgets.
We have just seen how German politicians, headed by the "Auschwitz Minister" Maas, asked forgiveness in Poland for the German Nazi crimes and felt ashamed and then praised the German resistance and the attempted and failed Hitler assassination. More than lying! After all, most of the assassins had previously been enthusiastic supporters of the Nazis and even as "resisters" no Democrats. If the "Auschwitz Minister" were serious about a "never again", it would be long overdue that he would be ashamed of the untenable conditions in Palestine and would have to persuade him to think and think. Similarly, when Maas left for New York on 12 August to speak to the United Nations Security Council at the invitation of Poland as part of its security presidency, in a 70th anniversary debate, the four Geneva Conventions. Before departure, he had announced full-bodied that Germany wants to urge for the strengthening of international humanitarian law. "Seventy years after the adoption of the Geneva Conventions, protected persons are victims of atrocities and arbitrariness every day. The international community must take action so that the breach of taboos does not become permanent ". Have not we had this "steady state" for 71 years in Palestine, and was not it precisely Maas who repeatedly points out that he went into politics because of Auschwitz? Does not he have to see Auschwitz as a man for human rights crimes, inextricably linked to Palestine and the founding of the "Jewish state"? But he is so (a) hypocritical and self-righteous, yet another reason to be ashamed of German foreign policy.
Holocaust: Israel's charter for crimes against human rights
This ongoing resistance to the Zionist theft of their homeland and the attempt to destroy the collective cultural memory is to be seen in the context of the Zionist project of Judaizing Palestine and demonizing the Palestinians while the Jews and Zionism are being heroized. The "Jewish state" is hanging on the drip of the United States and is considered the Western model for stabilizing US rule in the Middle East. A prime example of colonial oppression on stolen land.
Therefore, the Palestinian cause, like the BDS movement, is a national and international liberation movement, free from ideological precepts. Thus, the historical and sacred significance of Haram-al-Sharif must not be ignored for all Muslims around the world. But much more focus on the importance of the liberation of Palestine is a question of national pride and territorial integrity, which is systematically, consistently and with international support from the Zionist colonial project from the founding of the state to the present day injured.
Only when Muslims, Palestinians can pray and live freely again in a free Palestine, we will be able to celebrate happily. But with a heavy heart, we are united in solidarity with the Palestinians, who are increasingly oppressed by the Zionist state terror regime.
All parties in the Bundestag henchman of the Zionist occupation regime
That there are also courageous Germans, showed the former German ambassador in Iraq and Iran, Bernd Ebel, who had given a very open and interesting interview to an Internet portal. Thereafter, he was released to the media launch and after a Bild-Schmutzkampagne renounced this exception diplomat on the Instex post. Note: never say anything critical against Israel, or you will be burned for the public. As Spiegel already told us, here it was again confirmed that the media "cancer ulcer" of the German media landscape has taken over the interpretation sovereignty over our dealings with Israel, and let the spinalless German politicians in particular be guided by it. How else can it be that this outstanding diplomat and, above all, well-known connoisseur of the region was abandoned by his "boss" AA Maas? (1)
The case of Ebel is now symptomatic of Germany, where all parties, especially the AfD, excel as henchmen of the Zionist occupation regime, in the commitment to the "Jewish state" and in the demonization of Muslims and immigrants. That so many central media take part in this scare should give us food for thought.
Jerusalem, the capital of oppression, should remind us to fight for the freedom of Palestine and the fall of the apartheid wall. I wish to pray to all Muslim friends and Palestinians next year in a free Jerusalem.
A blessed Eid Mubarak to the sacrificial festival!

DEMOLISHING HOMES INSTEAD OF WALLS
July 22, 2019 at 11:37	(Apartheid, Collective Punishment, Home Demolitions, Israel, Occupation, Palestine)
NOT HOMES!
Israeli forces began Monday demolishing buildings in an East Jerusalem neighborhood under the control of the Palestinian Authority, following a legal challenge to the Defense Ministry-issued order to evacuate apartments deemed too close to the West Bank separation barrier, which runs through the city.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague issued an advisory opinion in 2004 that building the barrier on occupied territory was "contrary to international law."
Israel Begins Demolition of 70 Homes in Palestinian-controlled East Jerusalem Neighborhood
Forces deploy at dawn days after top court approves order to evict Wadi Hummus residents, in a move activists are concerned sets a precedent to affect thousands
Amira Hass and Jack Khoury (HaAretz)
Israeli and international activists said Israeli forces deployed in the neighborhood at dawn, evacuating one family from one of the buildings, as well as activists who protested the move.
Two hours prior to the demolition, activists say they saw Israel Defense Forces' soldiers placing explosives in an eight-stories building set for demolition. Later, the forces removed furniture and vehicles that were parked next to the buildings.
Aviv Tatarsky, a researcher for the left-wing Ir Amim organization, blasted the move, saying: "In the name of the demographic war waged against East Jerusalem residents, the State of Israel is withholding approval of construction plans allowing those residents to legally build within the city.
"Residents who didn't want to build without a permit, sought a creative solution and were granted construction permits from the Palestinian Authority to build in areas and A and B where Israel doesn't have any authority concerning construction plans. The Israeli insistence to prevent this solution is a very cruel act," Tatarsky added.
"I built this house stone by stone. It was my dream to live in this house. Now I am losing everything," said Fadi al-Wahash, 37, his voice breaking as a bulldozer destroyed his unfinished three-floor house.
"I had a permit to build from the Palestinian Authority. I thought I was doing the right thing," he said.
Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said 700 police and 200 soldiers were involved.
"Despite an order from the military commander, the residents there are making their own law, building. There are hundreds of illegal structures," he told Israel's Army Radio.
"To my regret there is no sufficient governance there. But it is not just that there are hundreds of structures there — several dozens of them sit almost on the route of the separation fence, endangering the security forces that operate there."
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said the Palestinians would complain to the International Criminal Court about the demolitions in Sur Baher.
"The cabinet condemns this grave aggression. This is a continuation of the forced displacement of the people of Jerusalem from their homes and lands — a war crime and a crime against humanity," Shtayyeh said.
In June, Israel's High Court of Justice has ruled in favor of the demolition of 13 large buildings in the Wadi Hummus neighborhood, located on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
It is on the edge of the Palestinian village of Sur Baher, in southeast Jerusalem. Unlike the rest of the village, this neighborhood lies beyond the city's municipal boundaries, in the West Bank. Most of the area it occupies is designated as part of Area A – i.e., under the control of the Palestinian Authority.
Sur Baher residents say Wadi Hummus is the only area that remains for future expansion of the village, which is surrounded by the fence and Jewish neighborhoods.
The Defense Ministry instructed to demolish some 70 apartments, citing concerns over their proximity to the separation fence, which it said made them a security threat. Two out of the 13 buildings set for demolition are populated with some 17 residents.
Jamie McGoldrick, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator, and other UN officials called on the Israeli authorities last week to halt the demolition plans. The European Union issued a statement saying: "The continuation of this policy undermines the viability of the two-state solution and the prospect for a lasting peace."
On Sunday, the court rejected a petition to postpone the demolition, which Palestinian activsts are concerned sets a precedent that will enable the demolition of thousands of buildings across the West Bank, effectively annulling the legal protection residents of other PA-controlled areas have.
"Some families put everything they have to put a roof over their heads, and it's all being ruined in front of their eyes in this despicable crime committed by Israel," community organizer Hamada Hamada told Haaretz.
"large forces entered after 2:00 A.M. to the neighborhood, preventing any access to the homes and forcefully removing the residents as well as dozens of activists who were present at the scene, evacuating them while women and children were heard screaming in the background," Hamada added.
Palestinian officials say some of the threatened structures lie within areas that they should control. The Palestine Liberation Organization issued a statement accusing the Israeli court of aiming "to set a precedent to enable the Israeli occupying forces to demolish numerous Palestinian buildings located in close proximity" to the barrier.
The office of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas released a statement saying that "Israel bears the full responsibility for the dangerous escalation in Sur Baher, which is part of the implementation of the "deal of the century" whose goal is to bury the Palestinian issue."
According to the statement, Abbas has approached international and Arab officials in order to halt the demolitions.
Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said "We will not renounce our lands, and everything that was demolished will be rebuilt."
"The demolition is an implementation of the Bahrain conference and we have thousands of documents and petitions filed to the International Court of Justice in The Hague against Israel," he said in reference to the economic peace conference in Bahrain sponsored by the United States that took place in June.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said "The demolition of buildings in Sur Baher by the authorities of the occupation is a despicable crime, which is a direct result of the Bahrain Conference and the warm relationship between Israel and some Arab nations."
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on Monday, but a statement last week by Israel's military-run civil administration in the West Bank said enforcement would be pursuant to "operational considerations" and "state policy."
Israel dismissed the non-binding decision as politically motivated and says the barrier played a key role in drastically reducing the number of attacks, which peaked in 2002 and 2003 during the Second Palestinian uprising known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
The West Bank separation barrier, which was being built since 2003, was intended to pass through Sur Baher, but its route was changed due to residents' campaign.Thus Wadi Hummus ended up on the Israeli side of the barrier, although legally it part of the West Bank and under the PA's authority.
Many buildings were erected in the neighborhood over the last decade or so, most occupied by young couples and families from the village. The buildings set for demolition have some 100 apartments, 20 of which are tenanted and the rest are under construction.
Building permits for the construction were issued by the PA's planning ministry. However, seven years ago, the Israel Defense Forces Central Command issued an injunction banning construction of buildings within 250 meters of the separation barrier.
Locals say the order was not publicized and they had no knowledge of it, and that in any case, it is the PA that has planning authorization in the area.

THE LONG AND UGLY HISTORY OF ZIONISM
July 17, 2019 at 13:12	(Associate Post, Corrupt Politics, DesertPeace Exclusive, Germany, Israel, Oppression, Palestine)
Thus, the long and dirty history of Zionism should not be forgotten, but should finally be worked up without scruples and fear of defamation, because only then can the targeted Hasbara fight.
They openly admit that their work is dirty
The Infinitely Long and Dirty History of Zionism
The history of Zionism begins with contacts to the most violent ideologies, the most racist regimes and dictatorships and continues to this day as a thread through history. Rarely is it pointed out that Zionism is the official colonial settler colonial ideology of the "Jewish state", which by definition is a thoroughly anti-Semitic ideology. Just the terms Israel as the "Jewish state" of the "Jewish people" or the audacity to speak out of this definition for all Jews worldwide. Not to mention the Zionist claim to call the illegal settlement policy and colonization of the state "Jewish value". These "values" have always been based on the cooperation and support of fascist, right-wing and anti-Semitic, racist regimes and persons. Thus, the similarity between the two ideologies is obvious, as anti-Semites and Zionists agree that Jews are actually foreign in Europe, are not part of it and therefore are urged to go as settlers to the "Jewish state" in order to boost colonization and thus to inspire the final solution of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Theodor Herzl: Anti-Semites become our most reliable friends
Already in the diaries of Theodor Herzl, the Zionist thinker who predicted in his colonial project more or less almost everything that we experience today refined, one can read the exposing sentences that "the governments of countries tormented by anti-Semitism will be very interested, helping us to gain the sovereignty we want. "He further notes in his diaries that" the anti-Semites are becoming our most trusted friends and the anti-Semitic countries our allies. " I heard similar statements from Nahum Goldmann, a former president of the "Jewish World Congress. Israel and its lobby are still acting on these successful methods today. So today Israel offers an anti-Semitism "washing service" for historically fascist and nationalist political groups across Europe. All that groups have to do is express their "love of Israel" in order to get the kosher temple of the Netanyahu regime. This long-term and unfortunately quite successful strategy pursues the Zionist regime more perfidiously, even today. So these statements have come true. Let's see Netanyahu and his unscrupulous politics, who are particularly good with far-right populists such as Hungarian President Orban or the infamous Brazilian President Bolsonario, as well as the Gulf rulers and dictators worldwide, all of whom support the "Jewish State". Fit their ideologies, especially in the common fight against Muslims.
Ruthlessly, Netanyahu tries to straighten out the Israeli legal system in order to avoid corruption charges in this way. However, his cabinet is tailored to exactly that and amazes again and again by statements that would be in other countries, as well as in Germany, the offense of incitement meet. As an example among many is how the former Mossad chief and minister, the Eichmann hunter Raif Eitan, who died in March, praised the achievements of the AfD and its fight against Muslim immigration in Europe in 2018. The video of his performance corresponds exactly to the politics in the Jewish state ". (1) (2)
And corresponds to the ethnocracy project of the "Jewish state", which is tailored to the needs and interests of the Jewish population, but completely at the expense of minorities in Israel. These non-Jewish minorities make up about a quarter of the population, the majority of them Palestinians who are discriminated against, harassed and criminalized.
Israel's national state law reveals its racist nature
This ethnic project was completed in 2018 with the National State Act, when Israel self-proclaimed itself the "historical homeland of the Jewish people" and declared with complete undemocratic and unilateral "the right of national self-determination for the Jewish people in the State of Israel". This law culminated in the process of ethnic cleansing of Palestine and fits into the context of the bloody Zionist history of the displacement of some 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 during the Nakba and continuing since 1967 with the systematic forced displacement, land grabbing and illegal settlement. From this perspective, this arbitrary apartheid law seems even more unlawful, as it wants to bring colonization and occupation into a constitutional order, but actually exposes the racist character.
In fact, one can not often point out that apartheid lives, flourishes and thrives in this Jewish ethnocracy and occupied Palestine. Why is this fact being denied philosemitically in Germany, in spite of overwhelming facts, and the "Jewish state" transfigured in an almost unappetizing manner?
The dehumanization of the Palestinians is subject to so many absurdities and is based on Zionist lies, such as Palestinians sacrificing their children for the fight against Jews while Jewish parents protect their children. Similarly, if they interpreted the right of return for Palestinians under international law as "destruction" of the "Jewish state". In order to dehumanize and deny this legitimate concern. Likewise the tiresome demonization of Hamas, in order to push the blame for the appalling living conditions in Gaza, according to the motto of their own guilt in misfortune. While the Palestinians are portrayed as monsters who teach their children to kill Jews, ie the Israeli occupiers, Israeli brutalities are never seen as atrocities but as a necessary defense, even if snipers shoot cold-blooded defenseless Palestinians, even from behind. That is why every story of an oppressed Palestinian is so important and should find media coverage, because only then can one create empathy, which is unfortunately missing in German media.
South Africa's apartheid experiences its "rebirth" in the "Jewish state"
Anyone who remembers the racist apartheid policy of South Africa is experiencing the "rebirth" even more perfidiously in the "Jewish state". There are massive reprisals, checkpoints, passport laws, the demolition of homes and many homeless families, and not just the forced relocations of Palestinians for exclusively Jewish settlers are reminiscent of apartheid in South Africa. Especially Germany should remember the not so long past, with the resettlement of the eastern territories and occupation of other states and expulsion of people from their homeland. "Never again" in this context is a hypocritical lie.
The brutality of the Zionist occupying security forces is hard to beat; Their tortures, night attacks and atrocities, which do not stop at women and children, are legendary. This ruthlessness is compounded by the intelligence services. Thus, the "most moral defense army" has become more and more involved in violence without being punished. It is frightening how this army and state has managed to celebrate itself as the "only democracy" in the Middle East. So how can this Jewish apartheid state, without defined borders, insist on recognizing its "right to exist" and thereby legalizing international crimes and illegal occupation. As long as Palestine is not a free state, there can be neither a raison d'etat nor a legal right to exist.
Israeli politicians keep the threatened "chosen" people in a fighting mood
The racist rhetoric that we are experiencing here against Muslims has existed in the "Jewish state" for a long time. This Jewish racism, which is now showing itself in the public political debate, just as in the last election campaign, shows the final brutalization of the population, which always feels right and in the lying lie victim. Thus, the politicians have an easy game to keep their "chosen" people in Kampflaune.
Why are sanctions so generously imposed except when it concerns the "Jewish state"? Why do Germany and Europe close their eyes to the occupation crimes? Why are you selling and giving weapons to Israel, which is fueling war readiness? Why promote a cultural, scientific and youth exchange with a state that exists as the sole occupying state of the world and holds its own concentration camp, namely Gaza, as well as many ghettos in the occupied territories?
Surprisingly open Spiegel article about the Israel lobby
Because the Israel lobby, with the help of millions of state funds and countless donors, has managed to build up a network that reaches into the German Bundestag. I was surprised to read such an open article in the last "Spiegel" no. 29 entitled "Targeted Campaign. A German-Jewish and pro-Israeli association have drawn a network in the Bundestag – with questionable methods. " These lobbyists are concerned with influencing German Middle East policy. We should quickly thank the three knowledgeable and courageous journalists for writing a clean, factual article without fear of consequences and the vile anti-Semitism charge. No wonder there is already the "cancerous ulcer" of the German media landscape, the "jumping image", as well the other medial "fighting organ" of the Springer press in Berlin, the "BZ", blows to the inflammatory drive hunt, which however the "mirror" can look forward calmly and book it rather as success. Because it shows that this fact report has really hit the mark, that the usual suspects are already in the Zionist starting blocks.
Those who have not yet known how the lobby controls Germany's Middle East policy will finally find the facts – thanks to the "Spiegel". Since Central President Schuster looks quite poor with his phrases of anti-Semitic stereotypes. Likewise all the politicians and publicists who feel called to pour their trash over the Spiegel article. Even Ali Erdan Toprak, chairman of the Kurdish community of Germany, is outraged by the "hair-torn report". Where he gets his "expertise" on the Israel lobby, however, is a mystery to me! (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)
So these are the reasons for the emergence of the outrageous anti-BDS decision. This bipartisan resolution, which came about in part on the initiative of the FDP and Minister of Health Spahn (a confessed friend of US ambassador and Israeli supporter Grenell), arguing that nothing but questionable and unproved theories that the BDS movement was anti-Semitic and that frighteningly elucidates how powerful in the meantime unimportant and more than controversial associations such as the so-called "value initiative", founded three years ago by Elio Adler. The main thing is that they are Jewish and represent the "Jewish state". It stuns one's breath about what is now possible in Germany and how the balance of power is distributed. Describing the growing influence of the long arm of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his lobbyists (Sayanim), this is described with alarming precision. Their influence on German Middle East policy is becoming increasingly apparent since the "Auschwitz Minister" Maas and Minister of Health Spahn came to the co-cabinet of the "Christian Zionist" Chancellor. For the first time, Germany (much to the delight of the Israel Lobby) voted against the annual World Health Organization (WHO) resolution on the (desolate) health situation in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, and in the Syrian Golan occupied by Israel. What does that say about the humanitarian understanding of international law of a minister who went into politics "because of Auschwitz"?

What does that say about the humanitarian understanding of international law of a minister who went into politics "because of Auschwitz"?
In the spirit of Zionist propaganda
In the same context, the targeted and well-orchestrated campaign by the Central Council of Jews and its President Schuster, as well as "Israel Friends" from politics and the Lobby World Jewish Congress and its President Lauder (WJC), Springer Press, Lea Rosh, against the See the Jewish Museum in Berlin and its highly respected director and scholar Peter Schäfer, who ended with Schäfer's "voluntary" resignation, and thus came before his expulsion. They wanted to bring down shepherds at any cost. It deliberately targets defamation against liberal institutions and delegitimization of these forces, which advocate a progressive civil society in Israel and a dialogue with Palestinian society. Now, the Jewish Museum is again to become a property of the Central Council – in the spirit of Zionist propaganda and in line with the policy of the "Jewish state". Let's not forget, this official museum, financed by the German state, taxpayers, is not owned by the State of Israel or the Central Council. This should also politicians like the left cultural senator Lederer, in whose account the attempted prevention of the award of the NRhZ-Karl Prize 2017 in Berlin is, as well as Minister of State Grütters not forget when they decide in the panel on the final successor of the museum director. This museum must endure and fully disseminate an objective representation of Judaism, combined with political debate and controversy. The future, however, looks grim.
As long as the Americans and Europeans do not muster the courage to loudly and loudly criticize the Israeli illegal occupation policy in violation of international law and do not allow this necessary criticism of the lobby to be denigrated as anti-Semitism and fall into the trap of anti-Semitism, this term is devalued and only untrustworthy. Similarly, the flood of anti-Semitism commissioners is obviously only called to deepen the media and propaganda work of the Israel lobby, because otherwise they have little "Kippa work" for lack of substance. Much more, however, and that should make us deeply worried that the fear and prejudice against Islam fueled by elites and certain media, and fueled by right-wing extremists, who are finding fertile ground in the masses, are completely insubstantial, because who of these Islamophobes already knows a Muslim or has ever seriously dealt with the Koran? But the same "decent" citizens, who once had the same reservations and rejections of Jews, today praise the "Christian-Jewish community of values." "The lap is still fertile, from which this crept!" (Bertolt Brecht). So I can not repeat it often enough, in times of the AfD, the right-wing populists, the NSU murders and unrestrained philosemitism, we need racism officials instead of anti-Semitism commissioner! "The lap is still fertile, from which this crept!" (Bertolt Brecht). So I can not repeat it often enough, in times of the AfD, the right-wing populists, the NSU murders and unrestrained philosemitism, we need racism officials instead of anti-Semitism commissioner!

So I can not repeat it often enough, in times of the AfD, the right-wing populists, the NSU murders and unrestrained philosemitism, we need racism officials instead of anti-Semitism commissioner!
Take the "Never again" seriously
The criticism of the discriminatory and repressive policies of Israel, however, is imperative. Even if we are labeled as anti-Semitic, nothing should stop us from opening our mouths and saying what is. Only in this way can we stand up to apartheid in occupied Palestine. Where do the Hardcore Salon Zionists and Israeli "special" kind minds actually take the moral right to challenge ourselves and exclude international law and human rights when it comes to Israel, especially since they are understandably unwilling to engage "us" in discussions, because they have nothing to oppose the facts. Who actually gives the new anti-Semites the right to discriminate against Jews in Germany as anti-Semites, to block accounts, denying public spaces and banning freedom of expression for Jewish Israel critics? I expect a resolution of the Bundestag against the new persecution of Jews in Germany, which takes the "Never Again" seriously and – only 74 years after the liberation of Auschwitz – does not want to repay old guilt with a new one.

SETTLERS STEAL MORE THAN LAND FROM PALESTINIANS
July 9, 2019 at 14:06	(Civil Liberties, Illegal Evictions, Israel, Just Plain Disgusting, Palestine)
Nearly 250 left-wing activists who donated money to help a Palestinian family in East Jerusalem's Silwan neighborhood may discover that their money has ended up with the right-wing group Elad, which seeks to evict the family.
Funds Donated to Palestinian Family May Go to Settlers Trying to Evict It
The group Elad, which has been trying for 25 years to get the Siyam family to leave their home, has put a lien on donations to their cause

Elad has obtained a lien on tens of thousands of shekels that the 241 activists donated for the Siyam family, on the grounds that the family owes it money. The lien requires an Israeli crowdfunding site, IsraelGives, to freeze the bank account where the money raised to help the Siyam family is deposited.
The Siyams have been fighting Elad's efforts to evict them for 25 years. During this time, Elad managed to buy parts of the Siyams' apartment building from family members who left Jerusalem. It also bought parts of the building that were seized by Israel's Custodian of Absentee Property, after two heirs to the building were deemed absentees.
The Jerusalem District Court rejected the family's final appeal last month and ordered it to vacate most of the building in favor of Elad, which plans to settle Jews there.
Before the hearing on the family's appeal, activist Uri Erlich launched a crowdfunding campaign asking for donations to finance the Siyams' legal battle. Seeking to raise 50,000 shekels ($14,000), he has so far raised 38,559 shekels from 241 donors.
Most of the donors are left-wing activists who are personally acquainted with one member of the family, Jawad Siyam. He is considered a leader in the battle by Silwan's Palestinian residents against Elad's settlement efforts.
After the court rejected the Siyams' appeal, Elad asked it to put a lien on the money Erlich had raised. It based this request on the court's ruling that the family owes Elad hundreds of thousands of shekels in court and attorney fees.
IsraelGives opposed the lien in court, arguing that the money does not belong to the Siyam family but to Erlich. "Our policy is to obey any court order, but to vehemently (and apolitically) oppose any lien on money donated in social campaigns launched on our platform," the website's CEO, Jonathan Ben-Dor, told Haaretz.
Elad responded that it is trying to realize its legal rights, in line with the court's ruling. It also noted that the district court judges unanimously rejected the Siyams' appeal.
