William Bowles går in i kärnfrågan när det gäller angreppet på Gazas civilbefolkning och de pågående övergreppen mot palestinierna:
There can be no clearer example of the inherently racist nature of Western ‘civilisation’ than the events of the past week. [...] [T]he real issue is about power and how the ideology of racism serves to justify the actions of the powerful. Thus the BBC and the other mouthpieces of imperial power serve to present events through the prism of decades of Zionist propaganda that has presented the Palestinians as non-people. Even their actual existence is denied, therefore how can non-people be murdered and their land taken from them? Sure, they die but ‘only’ as a result of being Palestinian, of being in the ‘wrong’ place.

“When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle.” — Raphael Eitan, chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, New York Times, April 14, 1983.
Rasismen och avhumaniseringen är en förutsättning för ockupationspolitiken.

Ynkligt!
En ynklig kommentar av rasisten ovan.
Den israeliska tidigare jordbruksministern, försvarsministern, ansvarige för administrationen av de 1967 ockuperade områdena och slutligen utrikesministern Moshe Dayan sade om den palestinska frågan och till palestinierna att "vi har ingen lösning, ni ska fortsätta att leva som hundar, och den som vill kan ge sig av". Vilket Noam Chomsky ofta brukar påpeka, som i det här inlägget i The Guardian.
Moshe Dayan avgick som utrikesminister eftersom han ansåg att den israeliska statens fortsatta uprättande av bosättningar var fel.

Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department.
From Israel: an Apartheid State by Uri Davis, p.5:
"Everybody has to move, run and grab as many hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements because everything we take now will stay ours... Everything we don't grab will go to them."
Theodore Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization, speaking of the Arabs of Palestine, "Complete Diaries," June 12, 1895 entry.:
"Spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment... Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly."
Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg, head of the Kever Yossev Yeshiva (school of Talmud) in Nablus stated:
"The blood of the Jewish people is loved by the Lord; it is therefore redder and their life is preferable."
Yitzhak Ginsburg, "Five General Religious Duties Which Lie Behind the Act of the Saintly, Late Rabbi Baruch Goldstein, May his Blood be Avenged":
"The killing by a Jew of a non-Jew, i.e. a Palestinian, is considered essentially a good deed, and Jews should therefore have no compunction about it."
In 1923, radical Zionist Ze'ev Jabotinsky-- spiritual father of not only of Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin but of Brooklyn Rabbi Meir Kahane-- wrote:
the "sole way" for Jews to deal with Arabs in Palestine was through "total avoidance of all attempts to arrive at a settlement"-which Jabotinsky euphemistically termed the "iron wall" approach. Not coincidentally, a picture of Jabotinsky graces Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's desk. Source: The Village Voice, "Death Wish in the Holy Land," Dec. 12, 2001.
The influential Israeli Rabbi Ovadia Yosef exclaimed during a sermon preceding the 2001 Passover holiday, :
"May the Holy Name visit retribution on the
Arab heads, and cause their seed to be lost, and annihilate them." He added: "It is forbidden to have pity on them. We must give them missiles with relish, annihilate them. Evil ones, damnable ones." -- Source: Ha'aretz April 12, 2001.
Moshe Dayan, address to the Technion, Haifa, reported in Haaretz, April 4, 1969:
"We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, ‘What is to be done with the Palestinian population?’ Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said 'Drive them out!'"
David Ben Gurion, quoted in The Jewish Paradox, by Nahum Goldmann, Weidenfeld and Nicolson,
1978, p. 99:
"Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population."
Menahim Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, 'Begin and the "Beasts"', New Statesman, 25 June 1982:

"We shall reduce the Arab population to a community of woodcutters and waiters."
David Goldman wrote:
"We declare openly that the Arabs have no right to settle on even one centimeter of Eretz Israel... Force is all they do or ever will understand. We shall use the ultimate force until the Palestinians come crawling to us on all fours."
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir's infamous quote:
"There is no such thing as a Palestinian."
Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998:
"It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands."
Israel Koenig, "The Koenig Memorandum":
"If I was an Arab leader I would never make [peace] with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country."
And finally:
Michael Ben-Yair, Attorney General of Israel, 1993-1996 (in Ha'aretz):
"The Intifada is the Palestinian's people's war of national liberation. We [Israel] enthusiastically chose to become a colonialist society, ignoring international treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the Occupied Territories, engaging in theft and funding justification for all these activities.. we [Israel] established an apartheid regime."
Ehud Barak, on Israeli TV (date undetermined, but confirmed by former Israeli Knesset Member Marsha Friedman):
"If I were a Palestinian, I would be a terrorist."
(Speaking about Sharon's policies toward the Palestinians.)
Ariel Sharon, Prime Minister of Israel (date undetermined, in an Israeli cabinet meeting):
Don't worry, we [Israel] control the United States.
(In response to concerns raised by another cabinet member about Sharon's ["the butcher of Beirut"] invasion and brutality in the West Bank.)
Löjligt, Israel har rätt att exterminera terrorister, allt annat är anti-semitism!
Moshe Dayan: "If Carlsberg had been running this war, the palestinians would all be dead, probably"
Ta genast bort det antisemitiska inlägget ovan!
tack.
Ja, tack. Verkligheten är illa nog som den är.
En av Australiens störta tidningar slår fast att palestinierna bara har sig själva att skylla. Hamas stödjer våld och utrotning. Palestinierna lade överväldigande sina röster på Hamas i valet. Nu gnäller dem när de ser konskevenserna av sitt hat.
"Israel on target in Gaza response".
behövde du "bara" leta tillbaka till 1983 för att hitta ett rasistiskt citat?
"Ta genast bort det antisemitiska inlägget ovan!"
Får man fråga vilket inlägg du syftar på, och hur det var antisemitiskt? Jag kan inte själv hitta något antisemitiskt inlägg.
All kritik av Israel USA och i vissa fall även EU när de för en mer sansad mellanöstern-politik, är anti-semitism.
Det borde vara en plikt heder och ära för varje svensk och europe att tjänstgöra i mellanöstern för freden och mot de arabiska terroristerna.
Varför kräver ingen från vänster, från Palestinavännerna, att
- tonårssoldaten skall friges omedelbart
- att Hamas, och officiella Palestina skall kräva med eftertryck att han skall släppas
- att resten av världen, Eliasson, Sverige, EU, USA, FN osv skall kräva av Hamas mm att de med all kraft trycker på att han överlämnas till Israel?
Vill ni inte att han kommer hem vid liv?
Tror ni inte att situationen för Palestina och alla civila i Gaza skulle bli väldigt mycket bättre ganska snart om han frigavs?
Den Israelisk/franska ockupationssoldaten är soldat och deltog i en statlig aggression mot det palestinska folket, det är minst sagt ett legitimt mål.
Mer än den familj som mördades av Israeliska kononbåtar på en strand i Gaza eller andra som dagligen mördas med västmakternas välsignelse inför den sionistiska apartheidstaten.
Hoppas de tillsammans med andra stater utsatta för IMF och globaliseringsfascisternas folkmordspolitik tillsätter en Tribunal och dömer ockupanten och hans överordnade.
Det där med kanonbåten, visa det sig inte alls vara någon kanonbåt inblandad?
