Just another blog about achieving global peace, prosperity and sustainability

You just have to feel sorry for the folk who run the Jewish Agency and Israeli Prime Minister’s office.
Tasked with defending the world’s most unpopular nation – a State surrounded by aggrieved and exasperated neighbours, that is despised worldwide for its callous brutality over more than 60 years – they must feel stressed at the best of times.
If they stay in the USA, half of these young people might 'go missing'!
If it was only a matter of hate – something they understand rather well – they’d be laughing!
But life is not that simple. There’s also pesky, insidious thing called love to worry about. Love may be prove to be the most serious existential threat to the millennial fantasies of Zion’s elders. Why, it might undermine the juniors’ respect for protocol!
Love over gold?
Will the mysterious cosmic force of love be the eventual undoing of Jewish Apartheid? Shall admirers of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jesus and Buddha, all share the last laugh?
Too much unrestrained mutual attraction between human beings spells long-term decline for the Zionist project – by denying it a sufficient population base of separatist fanatics.
The hard cases in Tel Aviv know that. And they’re not happy.
During August, I had a poll running on this website in which I invited visitors to vote for the name they thought best suited to the small nation-state in the Middle East commonly known as ‘Israel’ since its inception in 1948.
Here are the results:
I didn’t ‘push’ the poll by actively urging people to vote. That invites the Hasbara crowd to fly-by in a rage, like a swarm of angry wasps. So I just let nature take its course.
Now, I’ll admit to some bias. I consider this website is visited by a selection of the smartest people on earth. My dog (rumoured to have an IQ of 250+) assures me most material here is crafted, like fabulous tropical flowers, to attract the most discriminating pollinators.
Therefore I shall take heed of this poll-of-the-well-informed and follow the popular will. Personally, I voted for ‘Rothchildistan’ – but in hindsight the democratic process has yet again come up trumps.
What acronym should I use for the ‘Jewish Apartheid State in Palestine’? Is it JASP – or JASIP? Should that be put to the vote as well?
Nelson Mandela was released long ago: FREE MARWAN BARGHOUTI!
On a more serious note, the vote that’s really needed to sort this tangle is the vote that’s never allowed to happen: that’s a one-vote, one-value poll of all people associated with the land of Palestine in recent times, whether by birth, direct descent or immigration.
I’ve been buying personal computers for a quarter century – on average once every three to five years. I started out with a MacPlus in he mid-1980s. It had no hard-drive – just one drive for 8oo KB floppy discs – and a small, built-in black and white monitor. It cost around $A3,000 in 1980s dollars.
Intel Chips? Just Say NO!
Each time I’ve been back to the shops, buying has been a joy. On every occasion, performance and capability rose dramatically while prices fell. If the entire economy was like this, we’d all be living in cornucopia.
This time I think I may be able to buy a computer that will be fantastic – for less than $A1,000!
That’s something I could only dream about until now. What will happen in 2013?!
It’s great for me that my personal computers have got so much cheaper over time. But they’re cheaper for everyone else too – and that’s even more exciting! Surely it’s now possible to provide internet access to everyone on earth – everyone who wishes to have it – within the next few years? IT is bringing the people of earth together.
I’m facing some purchasing dilemmas, of course – but that’s the fun of buying! Shall I buy local – or via the net? Purchase a package deal – or put the package together myself? There’s a choice of vendors and brands.
In Israeli-South African Relations : On the Mend?, written in 2004, Kristin Nelson discussed some of the historical background to lingering tensions between the South Africa’s Australian National Congress (now in Government, once a hunted organization) and the Israeli regime.
Here’s an extract (emphasis added):
At the height of Apartheid Israel ignored international sanctions against South Africa, citing its own vulnerability to such tactics. It continued to sell roughly (US$) 600 million worth of arms per year to the white minority government before eventually banning further military contracts in 1987.
Nelson Mandela: when he was younger, Israel collaborated with his jailers
Before the early 1990s and the release of Mandela, mutual aid between the two governments evolved out of a natural fraternity: both were technologically advanced, militarily powerful nations that felt surrounded by hostile neighbours. During the 1970s this affiliation extended into the field of nuclear weaponry when Israeli experts helped South African to develop at least six nuclear warheads.
Although the extent of their covert collaboration is not entirely clear, Israel is known to have supplied technical assistance to South Africa in exchange for no less than 300 tons of uranium. Several Israeli nuclear scientists, including Ernst David Bergmann (the “Oppenheimer of Israel”), visited South Africa in 1967, and evidence of increasingly close relations accumulated throughout the 1970s.
Collaboration between South Africa and Israel over nuclear weapons was well-known 20 years ago – and strongly opposed by the world community as a whole.
This week a number of high level envoys visited the land once known as ‘Holy’.
Israel’s Krazy Kippah Klan staged a fiery welcome reception.
Americans who believe Israelis are ‘best friends’ of the USA might like to absorb the message from this crowd. It’s the standard refrain of a spoilt brat or protection racketeer…
“Give us money… but don’t tell us what to do!”
This video was produced by the brave Israeli film-maker Joseph Dana (aka Ibn Ezra).
Mr Dana’s earlier co-production with Max Blumenthal entitled ‘Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem‘ went viral on the Internet a month or so ago, but was soon pulled from both YouTube and Vimeo after pressure from the mainstream Jewish Lobby. At the time of writing it’s no longer available at all (although there is a sequel).
The people that attended the rally think that occupying another people and chanting racist slurs at the first black president of the United States (who was elected by a majority of American Jews who support him) is their expression of freedom and democracy. As a humanist and a pragmatist, it can feel very uneasy and unsafe in this country.
Last week, Eileen Fleming reported on Mordechai Vanunu’s Ongoing Ordeal in Dissident Voice.The Israeli State still continues to deny this heroic nuclear whitleblower freedom to travel; by now it has tormented him for 23 years, half in solitary confinement.
Shimon Peres" charlatan with a Nobel Peace Prize who hasn't even let an honest peace activist go free, after 23 years
They’re playing a protracted, very cruel game of game of cat and mouse with Vanunu – who has been a prisoner since 1986. The latest twist is trying to extract pledges that he won’t talk to media or foreigners; they still won’t grant Vanunu the most basic freedom; freedom to walk away and spend his life among less hateful people.
Few cases demonstrate so clearly how low the Israeli State has sunk in moral terms. What a shitty state these tribal fanatics have created! They’re so puffed up with selfish self-importance they won’t even let an honest free spirit leave:
Vanunu returned to court on July 6, 2009 and “his attorney Avigdor Feldman…and the state agreed that after six months, pending a review of his conduct, Vanunu will be able to ask for the restrictions to be lifted and be allowed to travel abroad.
The Israeli Tourist Board is keen to get more Britons to visit the SLASOUPT (Shitty Little Apartheid State on Usurped Palestinian Territory).
It’s latest advertisement carries the rather modest slogan: “Few countries pack so much variety into such a small space as Israel!”
Fancy bird-watching in the Golan Heights? How about a fishing holiday in Gaza? Don't miss the all-inclusive tours of checkpoints and Palestinian refugee camps!
Users of the London Underground have been treated to these delightful ads in the form of large wall posters (presumably secure beneath the watchful eyes of CCTV cameras, strategically located to discourage paint-bomb attacks?)
But the advertisements may may not be up for long. Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority received a torrent of complaints and has upheld the principal concern: the ad includes a map which, to put it bluntly, wipes Palestine completely off the map!
The boundaries of Gaza and the West Bank are marked, but with lines so delicate they’re almost invisible.The ad is therefore in breach of the Committee of Advertising Practice Code 7.1 , which comes under the quaintly old-fashioned heading of ‘Truthfulness”: “No marketing communication should mislead, or be likely to mislead, by inaccuracy, ambiguity, exaggeration, omission or otherwise.”
… fortunately ex-Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney prerecorded a pithy message to the world, previously featured on this blog with the title A Green Leader with Guts in late December 2008:
McKinney, who ran as the Greens Presidential candidate in 2008, is currently banged up in an Israeli place of detention. It’s been several days now.
Predictably, the sycophantic pro-Zionist western media has given this incident a pathetic amount of coverage. Much of it has been sneering and disparaging.
The Spirit of Humanity - hijacked by Zionists
Her crime?
Along with a score of human rights activists, Cynthia McKinney was attempting to symbolically breach the cruel Israeli blockade of Gaza, which long preceded Israel’s brutal military attack in January this year – and which continues to this day, making reconstruction impossible.
Cynthia sees this as an first-order outrage.
Unlike most western politicians, she has the courage to say so. And for the second time in six months, McKinney boarded a small boat in late June, loaded with urgently-needed relief supplies, and sailed towards Gaza. The video above shows McKinney after the first relief boat was rammed by Israel, endangering those aboard and terminating the voyage. This time, the Israelis are holding McKinney in detention. Let’s hope they aren’t torturing her in Facility 1391.
Earlier today I wrote to the Australian Greens imploring them AT THE VERY LEAST to protest the arrest of Cynthia McKinney.
Another mixed week in Australia's news for Jews - but bullying anti-Zionists is a constant
Does the Australian Jewish News need to promote bigotry and paranoia to sell advertising? Or does it just like promoting bigotry and paranoia with the Jewish community – along with very curious standards for Australian citizenship?
The video below is not quite up to Max Blumenthal’s standards. Even so, it gives viewers some insight into the mentality of Jewish Zionists within Australia. The question posed, to a selection of Jews in Australia, was: “What would you say to Jews who dont believe Israel should exist?”
Responses include:
You are traitors
I would feed you to the Arabs
You should be ashamed of youselves
You’re disgusting
You are a disgrace to our religion
It’s very important for Jews to have a place where we feel welcome and not being persecuted
Israel’s being is the…. most important thing for all the Jewish communities around the world
A few questions…
Does the woman with a strong Australian accent, who believes anti-Zionist Jews are ‘traitors’, consider them traitors to Australia – or to Israel? What does she mean by “feed them to the Arabs?” Does she consider Arabs carnivorous beasts? Is that a suitable stereotype to use to sell advertising space in a prominent newspaper such as the AJN?
Does the young woman, with an American accident, really feel persecuted in north America, Australia etc? If so, on what basis?
