'Never Again' is an Empty Slogan

By Gilad Atzmon

The United States must resolve that ‘never again’ is not just an ‘empty slogan’, said U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday, in a statement marking Holocaust Remembrance Day. Yet, I am left bewildered, what does president Obama refers to? Is  ‘never again’ a universal message pointing at genocides in general or did he refer to Jewish suffering only? With  1,455,590 dead Iraqis due to an Anglo American criminal war, it seems as if the USA is actually complicit in an actual genocide. 

Obama's comments followed Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s Holocaust Memorial Day address at Yad Vashem where he stated that Israel's "enemies tried to bury the Jewish future but our future was born again in the land of our forefathers, here we built a base, and a new beginning of freedom, and hope and action.”

Netanyahu, as usual, was almost correct. The ‘Jewish future’ was indeed born again after the holocaust just to introduce total misery, racism, expansionism, oppression, death and carnage to the entire Middle East. The so-called ‘Jewish State’ has managed, in just a few decades, to locate itself as the primary threat to world peace.  With the Jewish State and its lobbies pushing for a war against Iran, there is little room for doubt- Israel is driven by a suicidal inclination in the spirit of Biblical Samson. Yet, being a nuclear super power, Israel’s potential self-inflicted tragedy may as well put an end to the world, as we know it.

Azizi bin Habeebi: The Division Game

Lyrics below:
The Division Game!?
Eh, I'm ok, thank you

No, no, seriously, I'm looking for a nicer game for me
But sank you, sank you

OH, you want to divide Islam into Sunni & Shiite and more, and you want me
To choose one and not the other?! No, I'm ok, sank you, I'd rather not divide
The book in half, I want to learn from everybody how to love better..
And by the way, when you split one brother against another..
Well, lets just say your own divide and conquer has never been so easy...

So you want to say to yourself, in a loud voice, you're chosen and the rest not?!
And God promised you a land and homelessness is ok for me?!
I bet you all the way from here that there's a more compassionate
Version of God in your hands,
And I bet you my eyes & ears this God would love to be Your chosen one.
And by the way, your God is sayig out loud you're the chosen one?!
Tell me, who's going to play with you and love you as you are as an equal
When that happens?!

Jewish People Caught Framing Gentiles For "Anti-Semitic" Hate Crimes

And the next question to be asked is why? Why do they  fake hate crimes against themselves? Do they like being chased?

Rabbis For Violence, Brutality and Abuse

By Gilad Atzmon

In recent years we have  learned about a few sporadic Rabbis who promote peace, justice and humanism. But more often it seems,  Israel’s prominent Rabbis are more openly enthusiastic about violence, brutality and abuse.

Ynet reports today that Israel leading rabbis rally to the aid of Lieutenant-Colonel Eisner, an IDF hooligan officer who attacked Danish peace activist yesterday.

Watch Israeli Lieutenant-Colonel Eisner assault: http://youtu.be/uL-GmYBNDqY

Several prominent rabbis expressed their support for the religious Lieutenant-Colonel who was caught on camera brutally attacking a peace activist with his rifle. The Rabbis insist that the military’s decision to suspend the Lieutenant-Colonel was impetuous.

Lieutenant-Colonel Eisner expressed remorse over his action, saying that while he should not have flung his weapon at the activist, the video footage released depicted only “60 seconds out of a two-hour event.”  This is indeed a winning Talmudic spin. Rather than dealing with factuality and truth of the matter, we are asked to engage with the  ‘unknown’, the ‘missing footage’ so to say.

http://www.imemc.org/

1600 Palestinian political prisoners, held by Israel, declared they will be starting an open-ended hunger strike on April 17th in protest to their illegal detention, and demanding basic rights.

Palestinian Minister of Detainees in the West Bank, Issa Qaraqe’, stated that the situation of the detainees in Israeli prisons is very difficult, and dangerous, especially amidst the ongoing Israeli violations and attacks against them.

Qaraqe’ added that the detainees are fighting a battle to defend their dignity and to improve their living conditions.

He further called for massive solidarity campaigns, and called for declaring April 17, the Palestinian Prisoners Day, as a day for solidarity and massive nonviolent protests in all parts of the occupied territories.

The Maan News Agency reported that a committee formed by the Israeli Prison Authority, headed by Yitzhak Gabai, visited a number of detention facilities, listened to the demands of the detainees, and “promised” respond to these demands this coming week.

Some of the demands presented by the detainees are;

1. Ending Administrative Detention.
2. Ending Solitary Confinement.
3. Reinstating the right to education.
4. Halting all invasions targeting detainees’ rooms and sections.
5. Allowing family visitations, especially to detainees from the Gaza Strip.
6. Improving medical care to ailing detainees.
7. Halting the humiliation, and body-search of the families of the detainees.
8. Allowing the entry of books and newspapers.
9. Halting all sorts of penalties against the detainees.
