Israel’s Thanks for America’s Unconditional Support
March 16th, 2009 by Syd Walker

Once again, soldiers of the rogue State of Israel have shown what they think of anyone who doesn’t go along with their supremacist policies.

Tristan Anderson

Tristan Anderson: ISM activist shot by Israeli soldier while protesting The Wall

There’s a video of the shooting of Tristan Anderson, a conservation activist from Oakland, California. It is not for the squeamish. Tristan was protesting Israel’s Apartheid Wall. He’s now unconscious in hospital, his life ‘hanging by a thread‘.

International Solidarity Movement activists are real life heroes who never seem to feature in Hollywood movies. Non-violent resistance to a regime as brutal as this takes extraordinary courage.

The video has been flagged on YouTube as ‘inappropriate for some users’ (such as members of the US Congress?), but you can watch it without signing in on Antony Lowenstein’s blog: This is how Israel is seen.

UPDATE (March 17th 2009)

Tristan underwent surgery to have part of his frontal lobe removed and remains hospitalized in Israel. Encouragingly he responded to a stimulus test on Sunday morning. See Rally planned for Berkeley tree-sitter injured in West Bank protest.

    Israel is living evil. They dance on top of building in NY when WTC destroyed by terrorist because that tragedy will force USA to attack Iraq causing 4500 American soldiers to be killed. IN FACT I THINK ISRAEL IS BEHIND WTC TRAGEDY, BECAUSE ONLY THEM WHO GET BENEFIT FROM THE WTC ATTACK. MAYBE NOW BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS HAVING A DINNER WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN. WE, AMERICAN ARE BEING FOOLED BY ISRAEL, WE MUST WAKE UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE AND START FIGHT ISRAEL. THEY ARE THE WORLD’S BIGGEST MENACE.

      A few comments Mark.

      I don’t believe that any single nationality is ‘pure evil’. There’s good and bad everywhere.

      The Zionist project – I do agree, is rather close to unmitigated evil. But even then, some of its supporters are decent people, badly deceived. Some of the most articulate anti-Zionists were themselves once Zionists…

      Demonization of large groups of people per se is not helpful, IMO.

      Having said that, I personally agree that the evidence Israel and its supporters were behind the 9-11 attacks is quite compelling.

      The cheering Israelis on 9-11 that you refer to is no ‘urban myth’.

      The famous ‘Jews didn’t go to work’ story is much less clear. However, there’s no doubt the number of Israeli casualties were grossly exagerated; Bush said in a speech a month or so after 9-11 that well over 100 Israelis were killed in the attacks. The true figure, I understand, is roughly two orders of magnitude lower.

      As for attacking Iraq, like Australia, the USA was duped. It was clearly a war for the primary benefit of Israel. But sorry, no-one ‘forced’ the USA (or Australia) to go to war. We allowed it to happen.

      If people as a whole want peace, we need to raise our game.

      One final thing. Please don’t submit duplicate comments. if you do this any more, I’ll treat you as a spammer.
