Israel is Guilty of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity
By The Angryindian
`Thus we conclude that we cannot promise anything to the Arabs of the
Land of Israel or the Arab countries. Their voluntary agreement is out
of the question. Hence those who hold that an agreement with the
natives is an essential condition for Zionism can now say `no’ and
depart from Zionism. Zionist colonization, even the most restricted,
must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of
the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and
develop only under the protection of a force independent of the local
population ` an iron wall which the native population cannot break
through. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs. To formulate
it any other way would only be hypocrisy.’
Vladimir Jabotinsky – The Iron Wall, (We and the Arabs)
"It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists (Jews) do to
Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to Jews."
Albert Einstein
At the very certain risk of being condemned as an anti-Semite for
saying what needs to be said, I will say it openly and without
reservation: the State of Israel is guilty of Arab Palestinian
Genocide and crimes against humanity. As I write this, the
Euro-settler Zionist State of Israel has officially entered its
seventh day of deliberate ethnocide against what is left of indigenous
Palestine. More than 420 Palestinians have been killed, more than 2000
critically injured and its utility and transportation infrastructure
has been ground to a complete halt.
Israeli’s chief propagandist Mark Regev, is on record for attributing
the existence of the pro-independence Hamas government for the attacks
and claims that Hamas wilfully encouraged this crisis by not agreeing
to extend the latest U.S.-sponsored truce the Israelis violated
several times since it was enacted. Regev fails to impart these facts
when he tells the international media that, "Hamas escalated the
situation last week with their rocket barrages against Israeli
civilians."
So far 3 Israeli civilians have died and one Israeli Defence Forces
soldier has been killed since all this began and this bluntly brief
casualty list is being reported as the real tragedy of the
conflict. U.S. government representatives have gone so far as to point
to these deaths as the moral rallying issue to assert the Euro-settler
state’s inalienable `right to exist’ in occupied Palestine, as opposed
to the indigenous Palestinian Arab right to exist at all. Meanwhile,
while Israel’s rights are being discussed, Palestinians continue to
become silhouettes of red mist. The morgues are overflowing with the
battered and torn brown bodies of the victims, pitiful blood
splattered and demoralised human clumps of what remains of Arab
Palestine. And Israel says it is just getting started.
Hopelessly trapped within the world’s largest indigenous reservation,
the native people of Palestine have little left to defend themselves
with other than their intense will to survive. This tenacity to exist
is treated as a crime against the State of Israel and the entire
population of The Gaza, each and every Palestinian, is being held
accountable for resisting their own genocide.
Yesterday an Israeli Air Defence aeroplane plunged a one tonne-pound
bomb into the home of a high-level Hamas’ official assassinating him,
his wife and their children along with 18 of his neighbours. Instead
of shock, Israeli spokespersons, U.S. officials and the world
newspapers are calling this a concrete positive step forward in
Mid-East peace process. An entire family has been killed in their home
and politicians and pundits are calling actions such as these
`progress.’ Arab collateral damage be dammed.
The appalling apathetic disdain accorded the Palestinian people and
their life and death struggle against a brutal Zionist
Lebenstraumpolitik is as of this very moment without parallel in this
century or the last. Even the much older Armenian Genocide has
received more attention and investigation at this time than the
in-your-face ethnic cleansing occurring right now before our eyes. And
the deafening silence of the international community sums up precisely
which side the world wants to win.
The UN Security Council recently demonstrated this when it declined an
opportunity to issue a resolution censuring the saturation bombing of
The Gaza. A draft presented by Libyan representatives of the Arab
League calling for an immediate end to hostilities and condemnation of
the State of Israel under the UN charter was promptly vetoed,
unambiguously implying to victim and victimiser alike that the UN
member nations do indeed support the genocide of the Palestinian
people. To argue any other analysis is intellectual cowardice of the
worse kind. It is conscious complicity with the planned ethnic
eradication of Palestinian Arabs. In essence, it is the same as openly
calling for their genocide.
And everyone is tripping over themselves to jump on the pro-Israel,
anti-Palestinian semantic bandwagon. Barack Obama and his staff have
officially accused any Palestinian who rejects being a punching bag
for Jewish insecurities a terrorist and an enemy of the Jewish race,
the only crime against humanity recognised by the world community. He
further asserted Israel’s distinctive `right to exist’ and scolded
Hamas and their fellow Palestinians for not laying down and dying on
cue.
The new President-Elect, otherwise known as the `The Change,’ is
clearly making good on his promise to the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee (AIPAC) that Israeli Apartheid would be supported by
his administration. He promptly confirmed this pledge by appointing
Rahm Israel Emanuel, the son of a Zionist terrorist, as his White
House Chief of Staff. Logically one is left to conclude that once
Obama gets the keys to the White House, the new administration will
continue the practices of past administrations by engaging in
pro-Zionist protectionism. The falsifications and outright deceptions
of the `special U.S.-Israeli relationship’ will carry on and the
material and ideological support for this ongoing racist genocide will
never actually cease.
Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has publicly identified this
anti-Arab pogrom as a justified "all-out war against Hamas and its
kind." This broad brush means exactly what it implies, that Israel
will employ extreme prejudice against all officers and operatives of
Hamas, inclusive of anyone Israel thinks they can get away with
labelling as Hamas and shall regard the projected widespread
collateral damage as `preventative action’ against `indeterminate’
`elements’ of Hamas extant amongst the entire Palestinian
population. In effect, Israel is targeting every Palestinian that
dared vote `yes’ for Hamas, more than 90 percent of the refugee
population. In no uncertain terms, Israel intends to exterminate the
Palestinian people as a whole, until there is nothing left but the
memory of indigenous Palestine. Then they will obliterate the memory
of the Palestinian people entirely.
Image via WikipediaWe have seen this before. This is the perverse
arithmetic of genocide, the cardinal sin of a civil society and a
moral lesson one would think the world’s Jews would viscerally
appreciate. With the western world inundated with reminders of the
singular uniqueness of `The Holocaust’ and its overtly ethnocentric
focus on the extermination of the Ashkenazim, one could be forgiven
for presupposing that European Jews should be the last people in the
world with the moral vacancy to commit a genocide.
And make no mistake, this is a genocide. It is a Euro-supremacist war
of ethnic extermination against a people long regarded in mythic
European Orientalism as a sub-human, oversexed collection of racial
inferiors. Caricatured as dusky, robed sand-dwellers carelessly
beheading each other in the hot sun, the Arab represents to the bigot
a cipher, a nonentity that the European Israeli-colonialist is under
no obligation to respect. In this light, the Israeli Jew has indeed
spiritually come full circle with his post-WW2 credentials as a
`white’ group. Now accepted as an ethnic European, he has finally
found common ground between his theological tradition, his own
struggle with anti-Jewish ethnic hatred and the ideological trappings
of historical White racialism by colonially characterizing the Arab as
a non-person therefore deserving of castigation. An outlandish
variation on what they themselves have long endured at the hands of
Europeans since the salad days of the pagan Roman Empire.
But with liberal backing from the gentile American Empire, the Jew,
once branded the plague of the world, can pretend that what is
happening in occupied Palestine is not a matter of anti-Arab racial
prejudice. This is an ethical injustice within itself but it needs to
be pointed out that the entire push behind U.S. and European support
for Israel is the deep-seated desire to defend White Power in Western
Asia. This is an issue of global European hegemony and the Israeli Jew
knows that this is the currency, not a love for Jews, which keeps
Israel afloat. So while the obvious analogies to German Nazism are
undeniably accurate, it does not convey the reality that Israel is
allowed to kill Arabs at will purely because it supplements an already
extant pro-White racist agenda. And the Israeli Jew has bought into
this paradigm hook, line and sinker.
To be fair, Israel’s psychological and socio-cultural anxiety is
understandable considering the history of their historical
oppression. But this in no way pardons the Zionist lobby within Israel
or the United States from the well-deserved comparisons to German
Nazism and all the elements that sober charge implies. The Israeli Jew
truly stands on thin ice. The mind-set that defines every living
Palestinian as a representative threat to Jewish security is no less
xenophobic or less cold-blooded than anything the Nazis ever devised
or attempted.
This includes the bizarre contradiction of what actually represents
realistic anti-Semitism. Arabs are a Semitic people, so clearly any
activity aimed at marginalising and eliminating the Palestinian
population is by fiat anti-Semitic. But you will never hear such an
analysis within the `acceptable’ mainstream debate. The only real
defence Israel actually has is the power to accuse its critics of
vicious anti-Jewish bias. It is a semantic weapon the Zionist lobby
uses with considerable force against any moral umbrage to their goal
of an Arab-free Jewish state. In a world where Jews can embrace the
ugly business of racial superiorities, territorial exploitation and
the ethnic extermination agenda of the Third Reich with a straight
face, it is not an exaggeration to say that none of us are safe.
Modern Israel’s spiritual connections to Nazism present an ironic
twist on the line of defence employed by the German high command when
they claimed to be in reality ardent Zionists seeking a solution to
voluntary Jewish emigration out of Europe. This is satirically
substantiated by the fact that some Zionists actively pursued this
strategy, clandestinely meeting with sympathetic German officials
willing to help transport Jews to Palestine, (then under British
occupation) in return for Jewish assistance in fighting the Allies on
behalf of Nazi Germany. These paradoxes almost never earn intelligent
commentary and when the discourse is forced to acknowledge the overtly
Naziesque aspects of Israeli policy, critics are severely downplayed
as vociferous proponents of anti-Semitism. For the Zionist, his cause
is Jewish survival by any means necessary and indigenous Palestinian
Arabs just happen to be in the way.
This is the fundamental ingredient of the Zionist equation. After
suffering centuries of ethnic persecution, the Jew has for all
accounts and purposes claimed the right to operate like a Nazi
providing that he does not act out his racial psychosis in precisely
the same fashion as the original Nazis did theirs. And no matter what
Israel does short of shoving Arabs into ovens, it is regarded as an
improvement over what was allowed to occur during the European
holocaust. As long as Israel and the United States maintain that the
real targets of the onslaught is Hamas, the public morality will be
satisfied, international legality negated and the murder of
Palestinians will persist.
On this there is consensus, although there shouldn’t be, given that
the Palestinian holocaust could not occur without the ideological
support of world opinion. The apparatus of mass media propaganda being
what it is and the grand sweep of U.S. influence being what it is,
this is not a surprise. But what is most revolting about the Israeli
ethnocide programme is the argument that their brand of racism is
proper and religiously sanctioned. If you objectively compare
examples, excuses for German atrocities in no way differ in character
and absurdity from the justifications offered by Israel and its
supporters. It is no less absent of moral or intellectual fibre than
the unforgivable crimes the German Nazis committed and for which the
present-day German still humbly apologises for. And even more ironic,
they are supported in this analysis by scores of xenophobic Holocaust
deniers such as Patrick Buchanan who are vocally critical of Israelis
support in the U.S. government. These are people vigorously opposed to
the existence of a Jewish state yet they are not considered by Israel
and their supporters to be a threat to Jewish existence.
I find this quite odd since it was the social perpetuation and wiling
encouragement of German Judeophobia which sent civilians like Julius
Streicher to the gallows at Nuremberg. Today’s neo-Nazis might
occasionally be labelled anti-Semitic, and that’s without a doubt a
correct assessment, but they are never identified as threats to the
existence of world Jewry. Any cursory visit to the numerous White
Power websites available on the Internet clearly demonstrate that
neo-Nazi attitudes have never gone away and that Europeans could
potentially reverse their tolerance of Jews at any given time. It is
thus a matter of obvious importance that the Israeli must consider the
implications of such things the next time the IDF drops another weapon
of mass destruction onto a Palestinian refugee village. It is
imperative that we all think about the ethical implications of quietly
watching European Jews committing racial atrocities and the
significance of world opinion while the killing of Arab "savages"
rages on unobstructed by the world community.
December 30, 2008 — Approximately 200 hundred activists gathered at
the Seattle Federal Building at 4 pm today to demand the end of the
bombing of Gaza. Although the call to action was made only 72 hours
earlier, Seattle activists joined tens of thousands of other people
across America showing their disgust at Israel’s war crimes. Photo:
Seattle Indymedia There is another matter, what of the moral centre of
the Israeli Jew? This is the question of the hour. How does a Jew,
either directly involved in active participation of anti-Arab racism
or residing somewhere safe in the Hebrew Diaspora, stand silent in the
face of such overwhelming inhumanity? How does one sit on the
sidelines parasitically feeding off of Israel’s considerable political
clout while cheering on the slaughter of defenceless Arab men, women
and children? Is the cost of Jewish survival the genocide of the
Palestinian Arabs? If this is so, the Israeli Jew and the Zionist
lackey should have the courage to say so outright without the
propagandistic posturing of obligatory self-defence against global
Judeophobia. The Palestinian refugee is the victim, not the colonial
Israeli. To argue otherwise is an insult to common sense and basic
human rights.
It is a frustrating dichotomy. Nearly everything articulated today as
criticism of Israel and of Jews in particular is hopelessly embedded
within the race-conscious western jingoism of `civilisation’ and
`progress,’ all delivered with a Kiplingesque charade of piteous
humility. Systematic IDF abuses and covert Mossad assassination
programmes notwithstanding, Israel is portrayed is a beacon of
democratic evolution in the Middle East, not a racist Euro-settler
state endlessly terrorizing a refugee indigenous population that they
brutally and rakishly displaced. Instead of the historical and
political reality of Israel, we are fed just the opposite, a mirage of
mistruths and distortions intended to mask the reality of an anti-Arab
race war. A war supported by the entire world.
It has been argued that the use of the words genocide, Israel and Jews
within the same sentence is offensive, anti-Semitic and racially
divisive unless the discussion is steadfastly centred on the European
tradition of furtive Judeophobia and the remembrance of the Ashkenazim
victims of a singular human holocaust. It is a stifled conversation
laboured with the pathological Protestant guilt Gentiles harbour for
their apathy and hushed ideological support for the Catholics and
Pagan mystics who endeavoured to cleanse Europe of `inferior races’
and peoples. The expected psychosomatic atonement for sitting on their
arses while Europe burned its minorities in the contemporary era is
generally assumed to take the form of the rush to convey unconditional
support for the State of Israel and its countless atrocities against
Indigenous Palestinians. But despite the appearance of apologetic
moral penance, sympathy and respect for the trials and tribulations of
the Jewish people is not the real motivation.
The moral and material support the State of Israel receives is not
genuine empathy at all but in fact represents a brutal form of
racialist realpolitik. As long as the State of Israel is of vital
strategic and Euro-settler importance to the United States and the
`core’ European powers in Western Asia, the Palestinian genocide will
be allowed to continue. The State of Israel in reality serves two
distinct purposes; it is a zone of refuge for world Jewry who survived
the Catholic attempt to eradicate their numbers in Europe and second,
it serves as a militarized client-state that reinforces western aims
and political influence in the Middle-East.
This is possible because after World War Two, Jews, primarily the
Ashkenazim, have become `White enough’ to merit all the assumed rights
of pillage and colonial spoils theoretically accorded to each and
every White person at birth. The string of arbitrary unearned
privileges traditionally enjoyed by Whites that mechanically supersede
the human rights of others groups. Some Jews have even joined the
overtly Judeophobic Ku Klux Klan in the United States and neo-Nazi
Israelis are not unheard of these days. White makes right and the
reverse engineering the State of Israel has done with German fascism
is a fascinating thing to see. I suspect that Josef Goebbels would
find it all perversely humorous had he not blown his brains out at the
end of the war.
Israel and its pro-Zionist Goyim supporters routinely play the
`holocaust card,’ the propagandistic notion that an Israeli genocide
of Arab Palestinians is necessary to prevent another genocide attempt
against Europe’s Jews. A paradoxical quandary if one ever existed, but
it in truth a play on the classic fall-back position of the
colonialist. The charge that it is they, the invader, who is the
injured party impartially defending themselves against malevolent
forces opposed to the `civilisation’ they have kindly jammed down the
native throat with the butt of a rifle. It is the last refuge of the
colonial racist when called to defend his reckless desire to
obliterate any perceived threat to the authority or psychological
security of the invader.
Emotive rationalisations pardoning the State of Israel for its written
and unwritten policies of anti-Arab xenophobia fall on deaf ears
now. Too many children have died. Too many lives have been shattered
beyond repair. A Zionist blanket of death has descended upon the
Palestinian people and hundreds of broken bodies litter the Gazan
landscape as the world watches and says little and does less. This is
what remains left of Arab Palestine. A charnel ground of post-WW2
White colonialism in Western Asia.
The Zionist government argues that the racist butchery of its defence
forces is solely devoted to combating Palestinian terrorism, namely
the very existence of Hamas, the actual government-in-exile of the
Palestinian people. Despite their capitulation to democratic
representative politics and their unprecedented participation in a
U.S.-sponsored general election that brought them to power, Hamas is
still unjustly pigeonholed as a terror organisation rather than as the
liberation movement they actually represent. But if the Zionist State
of Israel wants to get into particulars about what constitutes
terrorism, it should open discussion about Zionist terrorism and how
this earned them a Jewish homeland.
Before Hamas or Hezbollah ever existed there was the Stern Gang (Lehi)
and Irgun (National Military Organization in the Land of
Israel). Before the Munich action by angry young Palestinians, there
was Deir Yassin, where 254 Palestinian villagers were executed during
the chaotic last days of the British Mandate by brigades of Jewish
terrorists, namely fighters of Lehi and Irgun, between the 9th and
11th of April in 1948. The Palestinian is responding to violence, not
initiating it. But one must be willing move beyond the rhetorical
pro-Israeli, pro-racist fluff to see the situation as it is to
understand that. And since the very same people involved in the
movement to purge Palestine of U.S. and British occupation in the
1940’s are directly responsible for the Arab Palestinian genocide
which began 1948, why is anyone surprised by the current bloodbath?
Following the last global war, the western moral crusade for a
capitalist-led world peace brought on by any means necessary would
come to arrogantly flout the very humanism it maintains characterizes
the present-day `War on Terror.’ In the zealous pursuit of a
full-spectrum Europocentric world order, the concept of world peace is
regarded politically as a fluid hypothesis subject to instantaneous
revision. As outlined by the Project for a New American Century (PNAC)
dossier, peace is assurance in knowing that the United States and its
client-entities (in particular the State of Israel) suffer no
significant political challenges or effectual non-compliance to their
aims of global hegemony. The existence of the State of Israel is a
crucial geographical element to this equation and Jews fearful of yet
another attempt at anti-Jewish eradication are willing to act as
America’s bottom-bitch in the `Middle-East’ in trade for a nation and
an indigenous genocide all their own.
What we have here in essence is a model of peace solely defined by
expansionist Euro-imperial standards. A system of planetary-wide
Manifest Destiny ideologically steeped in the quasi-occultist
philosophies that circulated in Christianized Europe prior to the
extreme Aryanism of the Third Reich. The myth of a divine European
master race as hailed in verse by Guido Von List, Rudyard Kipling and
every Pope ever appointed to the Holy See. A morality of state
oppression, elitist greed, plutocracy and racial stratification
championed and rehearsed in that respective order. The necessary
illusion of perpetual wars against terror, against the collapse of
`civilisation’ itself, have proved to be more than enough to satiate
the consciousnesses of those of us psychologically encapsulated within
the doctrinal paradigms of western predatory capitalism. We can coolly
witness the destruction of an entire ethnic group, provided the
victims are not `White’ and call ourselves Jehovah’s chosen without
experiencing the pangs of paradoxical heaving.
The European structure of imperial criminality has always maintained a
veneer of legality in regard to its own offences. Like war, the
European world powers recognise amongst themselves a pithy assortment
of extremely flexible rules concerning the acceptable use of military
force by a government against internally colonialized or significantly
weaker populations. These conventions have long been codified in
black-letter international law and are based on what became known as
the Nuremberg Principles, the legal strategy created to address the
civilian atrocities of the last internal European tribal conflict of
the last century.
The glaring paradox of acceptable rules for warfare aside, The
Principles were used as a strategy for convicting German and later
Japanese officers, politicians and industrialists of military and
political delinquency by the Allied Powers and in the case of Julius
Streicher; they were also decisive in convicting civilians for
encouraging transgressions against specific human populations. In
short, the legal if not ethical framework for the identification,
prevention and prosecution of a genocide in the post-WW2 information
age has been long understood, copiously documented and duly
established as a punishable offence. Plainly, it is an international
crime to engage in extremes of human incivility and savagery, period.
In the decades following the European and Japanese war trials of the
1940’s, these international conventions were selectively put to use
against states engaging in crimes against humanity. In practise
however, these laws were chiefly used against individual political
personalities either opposed to or no longer useful to Euro-Imperial
neo-liberalism. Anti-colonial Cuban leader and revolutionary icon
Dr. Fidel Ruz Castro has been repeatedly and falsely accused of
genocide, yet the Chinese government under Mao commenced a real
genocide in Tibet which is still maintained by the post-Tiananmen
neo-capitalists currently running the country. Harsh language may be
used sporadically in condemnation of China for its actions in limiting
a western-style Tibetan democracy, but few dare call what China is
doing to the Tibetan people a genocide. The Balkan ethnic massacres of
the 1990’s were deemed to be ethnic as well as theological genocides
and people were prosecuted, while East Timor’s indigenous holocaust
still struggles for similar recognition, respect and legal
action. Genocide in African states might receive a bit of mention here
and there and infrequently produce a book or a trial or two, but the
genocide of Aboriginal peoples in Africa, in the Americas and in Asia
typically garner no mention at all.
So it should of no surprise to anyone, let alone the Palestinians that
in the wake of Israel’s aggressive return to murderous 1967-style
military action in The Gaza, a clear challenge to international law is
occurring and no one really cares. The entire world is looking the
other way as Palestinians die en masse and no one cares enough to tell
Israel to its face that it is a homicidal out of control colonialist
settler-state that should hang its head in shame for enacting their
very own Final Solution.
As a person of Ashkenazim extraction by way of a fairly diminutive
blood-quantum, I challenge the Jews of the world to come to grips with
what is being done in their name. I am no longer interested in hearing
about the lost tribes and the terrorism of the European pogroms if you
insist on slaughtering the very people whose lands you have already
stolen at bayonet-point.
I cannot and will not respect anyone, especially a colonial population
of genocide survivors, who in turn have the nerve to practice
genocide. Jewish Nazism is still Nazism, even if brief passages from
the Talmud are tucked under the yarmulkes of the murderous gunmen of
the IDF.
