@Fitplayer66 There is little that isn't biased in this world and particularly in this conflict. Take the facts offered, analyze the arguments. Or better yet, take your pick of rigorous, respected human rights NGOs (Amensty, HRW, Save the Children, B'tselem, Doctors without Borders, etc.) and their take on the situation -- that's about as objective as you're ever going to get. See the latest 166 page report from HRW, titled "Separate and Unequal", I unfortunately am not allowed to link to it.
Israelis are brainwashed when they have to do 3 years compulsory service of the Zionist SS, Luftwaffe or Mossad Gestapo on how to kill torture and be a racist to the sub human Arabs who must submit to the racially superior Jews! The Jewish Supremicist state is the Fourth Reich!
The principle reason why the Arab world is such a mess is due to Western Imperialism, due to the carve up of the middle east with illogical borders
ie. Sykes-Picot, the creation of completerly artificial states such as Iraq. The best plan would have been for a pan Arab state as was envisaged by people like Nasser. The Western imperialists didn't want this as did the Zionists who sought to Balkanize the middle east so they could rob it of its natural resources(principally oil).
arabs everywhere: look at how your governments treat the citizans. look at the level of your general public education. look at the amount of violance you bring into each country you immigrate to. look at how you treat your women. look at how you treat each other. look at how much contribution you make to the world knowledge, progress and development. look at how you treat your own families. try to look at yourself before looking at israel.
My opinion on Arab and Muslim nations not one of them is as evil militaristic and racist as the Zionist state!
Carrying out massacres assasinations with forged passports of foreign countries it is the sort of behaviour you would expect of the old East Germany or North Korea!
Still the Third Reich destroyed itself looks like Israel a lunatic state by any standards is going the same way.
@petersz98 i completely agree israel is an evil militaristic and racist state and that is the only correct definition for israel. but as i am palestinian human rights activist i am also an african activist and and reality shows that states which call themselves "arab/muslim" commit horrendous state sponsered ethic and racist crimes as well. Sudan case and point. please don't minimize other ppl's plight in the arabic world to emphasize israel's evilness. israel will show its own evil.
But there is an important difference. Israel claims to be a "democracy" which it is not.
Israel gets 3 billion military aid from the US and is treated as an honoury member of the Western club of nations. Everyone knows Sudan is an odious regime but they don't get 3 billion a year in aid nor does anyone claim it is a "democracy".
@petersz98 in your original comment you stated that arab/ muslim nations are not as militaristic and racist as israel just because it gets aid from the u.s. and claims its a democracy? but the fact is that both sudan + israel are still doing the same thing and are racial/religious based regimes. just b/c one murderer claims he is a dove and the other does not does not makes no difference they are both still murderers who deserve to be destroyed equally.
Well I'm certainly not defending Sudan! At least with Sudan there is an arrest warrant pending with the International Criminal Court for the war criminals who carried out the Darfur ethnic cleansing? Where are the arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals?
@petersz98 lol. i know your not defending sudan. although some times i get irritated when my fellow activists act as though israel is the only state committing crimes in the world and the crimes of other states esp arab/muslims ones don't matter. i realize that you are not trying to do that but it is important to acknowledge the suffering of others as well. by god (inshallah) all the vicitims of these merciless regimes will get their justice!
@petersz98 i know that the situation in palestine looks grim but we are really making great strides that the israeli diplomatic propaganda would much rather have people not admit. the global BDS movement is growing rapidly and strong and remember livini has had an arrest warrent issued by a british court, this is a breakthrough for an israeli figure to be publicly indicted we all know she is a walking criminal. this the aparthied israel regime's days are numbered... and they known that.
not really, its a legitimate state and even the fact that isreal is a respected state it will def be around
states like iran, suadia arabia, cuba, north korea, etc are around and obv if undermocratic states like that are obv isreal a us ally and modernized state will be
@petersz98 In addition to this Sudan might not claim to be working for pure "democratic" values it does argue that it works for pure "islamic" values which like the west's "democracy" claims a moral high ground. and yes sudan does recieve billions in aid not from the u.s. but from arab, european, and asian countries. in otherwords what we fight against is not not what these regimes "claim to be" but the essence of what they are: racist, genocidal, and militaristic.

About time Israel was exposed for what it is - a racist Jewish extremist state based on terrorising Arabs and dissidents - immune from any criticism under the lie of "anti-semitism".
@79jethro WRONG! Israel is only being exposed on the internet, where there actually is freedom of speech. they are never exposed in the newspapers, or magazines, or on TV. because Zionists own the major media outlets, majority of the population in the west, are fucking blind to the facts so they blindly support Israel. the Israeli lobbies in the U.S, U.K and Canada are disgraceful parasites that the world is better off without
the whole world needs to see that israel is not a democracy. this is not about hate, it is about the truth. those who try to spin it any other way are simply denying the genocide taking place today.
if israel chooses to continue down this path of self-destruction, it has no-one to balme but herself.
Israel is a democracy for the democratic people. Jews are not as stupid and naive as the Europeans, who allow the muslim brutes to invade the continent in order to take advantage of the democratic process while undermining the whole of society.
So why is it in Israel a JEW and GENTILE cannot legally get married? Isn't a democracy about the people having a free choice even when it comes to marriage?
It's not at all illegal and it happens all the time. However, because there is no civil/secular marriage here, people don't have the option to go to a justice of the peace and have a non-religious ceremony, like in America. So if a Jewish guy wants to marry a Christian lady he wont find a rabbi inside Israel to make the ceremony. He also will probably not find a priest. The only way it happens is if she becomes Jewish or he becomes Christian.
The other option, beside converting to the other's religion is to fly outside of the country--and have the marriage done outside. (Most Israelis of different religions choose this way.) They just need to go to Cyprus, it's very easy, very quick, and go in front of a judge there. When they go back to Israel, the marriage is recognized as 100% legal here.
I happen to be a civil libertarian and believe there should be civil marriages here--yet you make a distortion to say "marriages between Jews and Gentiles is illegal in Israel". It's not true. The way it works is that only the religious authorities have the power over marriage, divorce, etc...and the government only recognizes certain religious sects--Orthodox Jewish, Muslim, various Christian denominations, Druzes and Bahai. It is then up to the clergies in each sect to make decisions.
You clearly feel the need to justify the actions of the state. Keep fighting the war on "terror".
I'm sure you'd agree with the historian Benny Morris when he says-
"Even the great American democracy could not have been created without the annihilation of the Indians. There are cases in which the overall, final good justifies harsh and cruel acts that are committed in the course of history."
Benny Morris is a good, honest, balanced historian...it is telling that all the revisionist historians praised him when he unearthed archival documents about the Israeli War of Independence but abandoned and denounced him when he failed to march in ideological lockstep with their radical anti-Zionist agenda--which champions the national liberation movement of Arabs at the expense of the Jewish national liberation movement, aka Zionism.
I'd rather let them be. Only problem is, living here in Northern Israel, where I and my family endured Katyusha rockets crashing into our house in summer 2006, the terror follows us. I am nearly 40 years old. Whilst on active duty I served in Southern Lebanon and I continue to do tours of duty as an IDF reservist. I was very happy and proud when our forces finally quit the Lebanon Security Zone in 2000--but why did Hezbollah attack us in 2006? I now think we made the wrong choice in 2000.
I judge who is a savage by their actions. I am a teacher of history and I studied the period when the Muslim Brothers made life miserable for ordinary Syrians in 1982 through terror campaigns. Now it is true that the Baathists themselves ruled through sheer oppression and terror, yet they had the courage to confront the Muslim Brothers' insurgency by flattening the town of Hama, killing 20,000+ (some estimates say 50,000) in one month. (ct'd)
True to form, you show intellectual bankruptcy when you can only retort "Nazi "to people who don't agree with you, but I didn't expect better. Look up Godwin's Law. Morris is and was a balanced historian. He was praised by the anti-Zionist left both in Israel and abroad for having the courage to challenge traditional historiography and jeered by them when he put it into historical context. (Cont'd)
Morriss is still hated by elements within Israel's extreme right for pointing out that we have not always been angelic or a perfect society--I guess they feel upset that this puts us out of the same league of the perfect, angelic societies who are our neighbours. And he is also hated by the extreme Left who feel he betrayed them. This is evidence of his fairmindedness and balance, and I am privileged to have studied with him.
Now why don't we in Israel do something like that? We are excoriated for the feeble reaction we finally had against Hamas by the likes of this silly little Jew Blumenthal, who is ashamed of his own people for fighting for its own survival and the security of its own citizens. Let's look at Sri Lanka, which ended the civil war against the LTTE recently (entirely justified) but also managed to kill 20,000 civilians--but Israel gets lambasted for a few hundred Gazan civilians killed--well,war sucks
"So why is it in Israel a JEW and GENTILE cannot legally get married? I="
Why is it that you are ignorant of facts? Marriages between Jews and non-Jews are legal in Israel. However, the actual marriage ceremony between a Jew and a non-Jew cannot be performed within the country (unless one spouse converts to the other's religion), because there is no secular civil marriages allowed here. But that also means that a Druze Israeli citizen cannot marry a Christian Israeli citizen within Israel either
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I disagree completely with Blumenthal, but I dont think he is an ex-Jew or self-hating guy. He seems to be overly in love with himself and his own opinions. Moreover, he is a representative of a current trend of Diasporists among young American Jews. They don't relate to Israel's Hebrew culture either religiously, nationalistically or otherwise and they celebrate a Galut Jewish identity that never really existed that revels in homeless cosmopolitanism as somehow more natural.
...that Israel will undertake any aggressive policy towards the Arab states when this would explicitly contradict the wishes of the U.S. and Britain. But, if for any reasons the Western powers should sometimes prefer to close their eyes, Israel could be relied upon to punish one or several neighboring states whose discourtesy to the west went beyond the bounds of the permissible...
Israel's actions have been repeatedly condemned by the United Nations, but the U.S. government ensured that nothing was done to enforce a series of resolutions.
Since its creation, Israel has been a defender of Washington's interests in the oil-rich Middle East. As the influential Jewish paper Ha'aretz put it in 1951:
Israel is to become the watchdog. There is no fear...
...The Zionist movement went so far as to oppose changes in the immigration laws of the U.S. and Western Europe, which would have permitted more Jews to find refuge in these countries. In 1938, David Ben-Gurion, who was to become the first prime minister of Israel, wrote: "If I knew that it would be possible to save all the children in Germany by bringing them over to England, and only half of them by transporting them to Eretz Yisrael, then I would opt for the second alternative."...
...In 1933, the Zionist Federation of Germany sent a memorandum of support to the Nazis: "On the foundation of the new [Nazi] state, which has established the principle of race, we wish to fit our community into the total structure, so that for us, too, in the sphere assigned to us, fruitful activity for the Fatherland is possible."...
THE FOUNDING of a Zionist state is often justified as a response to the rise of fascism and the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust, which exterminated 6 million Jews. But far from being fighters against fascism, Zionists frequently collaborated with the Nazis...
Zionist leaders offered to help guarantee Tsarist interests in Palestine, and rid Eastern Europe and Russia of those "noxious and subversive Anarcho-Bolshevik Jews"--in other words, the people who wanted to fight anti-Semitism, rather than capitulate to it. Von Plehve agreed to finance the Zionist movement as a way of countering socialist opposition to the Tsar...
The founders of Zionism were prepared to ally themselves with the most vicious anti-Semites. Herzl approached Count Von Plehve, the sponsor of the worst anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia, with the message: "Help me to reach the land sooner, and the revolt [against Tsarist rule] will end"...
...Herzl wrote that, if a Jewish state were created in Palestine, it would form "a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism." In other words, the new state would be part of the system of colonial domination of the rest of the world.
...Zionists drew the pessimistic conclusion that anti-Semitism couldn't be eliminated--and that to escape persecution, Jews had to emigrate to a region where they could set up an exclusively Jewish state.
Theodore Herzl, known as the father of Zionism, wrote of "the emptiness and futility of trying to 'combat' anti-Semitism," and called for a Jewish state to be set up in an undeveloped country outside Europe.

max blumenthal is a two bit propagandist.
after his little bit of agitprop trying to disguise itself as a documentary got kicked out of places like the huffington post, he's going to have a hard time rehabilitating his credibility. except in extreme anti-zionist circles of course, but nobody really cares about those, including blumenthal himself. he wants to be mainstream.
The Max Blumenthal reports I've seen have been darkly funny. Its disturbing the way they have shown so called 'civilised' people from the west casually expressing extreme racist/fascist views on camera.
When the US media discusses whether or not we should bomb Iran or describes our ally Saudi Arabia as a 'moderate' state they don't have to worry about credibility. They're the mainstream media!
Israelis are not from "the West", we are by and large indigenous to this region, but by the standards of our neighbours, we are civilized...but it is not much help in our image for hypocrite people like you. Assad the father knew how to suppress terrorists who threatened his regime--he killed 25,000 + in one month (mostly civilian) in the town of Hama, Syria 1982 when it was taken over by Muslim Brother extremist opponents. That is how you win.
If you bothered to read my post you'll notice i'm talking about Max Blumenthal's reports, plural.
If you live in the 'West' eg Europe and the US, it's taken for granted that like Israel (which orientates towards and is supported militarily and economically by 'the West' ) we are the good guys. We bomb for justice and democracy. What state carries out aggression and calls it aggression? It's always 'defence'. Even Hitler said he was defending Europe from Bolshevism.
We are not interested in bombing for abstract concepts like "justice" and "democracy". We don't care if the Arabs in Gaza want a theocratic Islamic fundamentalist government or communist government or Jeffersoni republic. We care simply that they never send any rockets at our citizens or threaten us in our land. Otherwise, they can do whatever they want. Like I said-- I am a Middle Eastern Jew, I think Israel should be more Middle Eastern in its response to terror--like our neighbour Assad!!
HuffPo is a JOKE. Just look at the board who runs it.
And Blumenthal exposed Jewish racism/bigotry/supremacy and fascism for everyone to see. He just let those yuppie Zionist trash be themselves.
That's why you're boo-hooing.
Our political economy is corrupt. Every ethnic group in America has political capital and the Jewish community has the most. They can literally and through social pressures, buy off politicians and set the agenda for our foreign policy along w/ the MIC, etc.
"Jews owned 6 or 7% of the land and property back then "
Majority of the land was owned by rich effendis (absentee landlords) who lived in Beirut or Europe or by the Ottoman state, and then subsequently the British. Very little of the land was legally held by the local residents, whether Jewish or Arab. What's your point?
Jews have always been indigenous to this region also. I can trace my roots here back to the 14th century at least on my father's maternal line. I respect the rights of the local Arabs residing in the West Bank and Gaza to their own self-determination and attain their own state, but that self-determination does not extend to wiping out the sovereign existence of their neighbours in Israel. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish nation, we are entitled to our own state.
Ethnic states are history--except in Israel. The transition of Israel to post-ethnic, to a state that gives its indigenous people equal rights and gives them the same right of return that it gives to Jews, will have to happen. The sooner the easier and the better. Otherwise, Israel will radicalize itself even more and more.
And France, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Albania, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, all the Arab countries...yes, besides Israel and about 60 more ethnic states I can't think of from the top of my head--the "ethnic state" is TOTALLY finished. It is only Israel--that insists in being so backwards, right?

The other option, beside converting to the other's religion is to fly outside of the country--and have the marriage done outside. (Most Israelis of different religions choose this way.) They just need to go to Cyprus, it's very easy, very quick, and go in front of a judge there. When they go back to Israel, the marriage is recognized as 100% legal here.
MikhaelMeir 2 years ago
I happen to be a civil libertarian and believe there should be civil marriages here--yet you make a distortion to say "marriages between Jews and Gentiles is illegal in Israel". It's not true. The way it works is that only the religious authorities have the power over marriage, divorce, etc...and the government only recognizes certain religious sects--Orthodox Jewish, Muslim, various Christian denominations, Druzes and Bahai. It is then up to the clergies in each sect to make decisions.

You clearly feel the need to justify the actions of the state. Keep fighting the war on "terror".
I'm sure you'd agree with the historian Benny Morris when he says-
"Even the great American democracy could not have been created without the annihilation of the Indians. There are cases in which the overall, final good justifies harsh and cruel acts that are committed in the course of history."
Good luck clearing the frontier of savages.

Benny Morris is a good, honest, balanced historian...it is telling that all the revisionist historians praised him when he unearthed archival documents about the Israeli War of Independence but abandoned and denounced him when he failed to march in ideological lockstep with their radical anti-Zionist agenda--which champions the national liberation movement of Arabs at the expense of the Jewish national liberation movement, aka Zionism.

I'd rather let them be. Only problem is, living here in Northern Israel, where I and my family endured Katyusha rockets crashing into our house in summer 2006, the terror follows us. I am nearly 40 years old. Whilst on active duty I served in Southern Lebanon and I continue to do tours of duty as an IDF reservist. I was very happy and proud when our forces finally quit the Lebanon Security Zone in 2000--but why did Hezbollah attack us in 2006? I now think we made the wrong choice in 2000.

"Good luck clearing the frontier of savages. "
I judge who is a savage by their actions. I am a teacher of history and I studied the period when the Muslim Brothers made life miserable for ordinary Syrians in 1982 through terror campaigns. Now it is true that the Baathists themselves ruled through sheer oppression and terror, yet they had the courage to confront the Muslim Brothers' insurgency by flattening the town of Hama, killing 20,000+ (some estimates say 50,000) in one month.

True to form, you show intellectual bankruptcy when you can only retort "Nazi "to people who don't agree with you, but I didn't expect better. Look up Godwin's Law. Morris is and was a balanced historian. He was praised by the anti-Zionist left both in Israel and abroad for having the courage to challenge traditional historiography and jeered by them when he put it into historical context. (Cont'd)

(Cont'd re: Morriss:)
Morriss is still hated by elements within Israel's extreme right for pointing out that we have not always been angelic or a perfect society--I guess they feel upset that this puts us out of the same league of the perfect, angelic societies who are our neighbours. And he is also hated by the extreme Left who feel he betrayed them. This is evidence of his fairmindedness and balance, and I am privileged to have studied with him.

Now why don't we in Israel do something like that? We are excoriated for the feeble reaction we finally had against Hamas by the likes of this silly little Jew Blumenthal, who is ashamed of his own people for fighting for its own survival and the security of its own citizens. Let's look at Sri Lanka, which ended the civil war against the LTTE recently (entirely justified) but also managed to kill 20,000 civilians--but Israel gets lambasted for a few hundred Gazan civilians killed--well,war sucks

"So why is it in Israel a JEW and GENTILE cannot legally get married? I="
Why is it that you are ignorant of facts? Marriages between Jews and non-Jews are legal in Israel. However, the actual marriage ceremony between a Jew and a non-Jew cannot be performed within the country (unless one spouse converts to the other's religion), because there is no secular civil marriages allowed here. But that also means that a Druze Israeli citizen cannot marry a Christian Israeli citizen within Israel either

I disagree completely with Blumenthal, but I dont think he is an ex-Jew or self-hating guy. He seems to be overly in love with himself and his own opinions. Moreover, he is a representative of a current trend of Diasporists among young American Jews. They don't relate to Israel's Hebrew culture either religiously, nationalistically or otherwise and they celebrate a Galut Jewish identity that never really existed that revels in homeless cosmopolitanism as somehow more natural.

Israel's actions have been repeatedly condemned by the United Nations, but the U.S. government ensured that nothing was done to enforce a series of resolutions.
Since its creation, Israel has been a defender of Washington's interests in the oil-rich Middle East. As the influential Jewish paper Ha'aretz put it in 1951:
Israel is to become the watchdog. There is no fear...

...The Zionist movement went so far as to oppose changes in the immigration laws of the U.S. and Western Europe, which would have permitted more Jews to find refuge in these countries. In 1938, David Ben-Gurion, who was to become the first prime minister of Israel, wrote: "If I knew that it would be possible to save all the children in Germany by bringing them over to England, and only half of them by transporting them to Eretz Yisrael, then I would opt for the second alternative."...

The founders of Zionism were prepared to ally themselves with the most vicious anti-Semites. Herzl approached Count Von Plehve, the sponsor of the worst anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia, with the message: "Help me to reach the land sooner, and the revolt [against Tsarist rule] will end"...

...Herzl wrote that, if a Jewish state were created in Palestine, it would form "a portion of the rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism." In other words, the new state would be part of the system of colonial domination of the rest of the world.

...Zionists drew the pessimistic conclusion that anti-Semitism couldn't be eliminated--and that to escape persecution, Jews had to emigrate to a region where they could set up an exclusively Jewish state.
Theodore Herzl, known as the father of Zionism, wrote of "the emptiness and futility of trying to 'combat' anti-Semitism," and called for a Jewish state to be set up in an undeveloped country outside Europe.

max blumenthal is a two bit propagandist.
after his little bit of agitprop trying to disguise itself as a documentary got kicked out of places like the huffington post, he's going to have a hard time rehabilitating his credibility. except in extreme anti-zionist circles of course, but nobody really cares about those, including blumenthal himself. he wants to be mainstream.
good luck with that.

The Max Blumenthal reports I've seen have been darkly funny. Its disturbing the way they have shown so called 'civilised' people from the west casually expressing extreme racist/fascist views on camera.
When the US media discusses whether or not we should bomb Iran or describes our ally Saudi Arabia as a 'moderate' state they don't have to worry about credibility. They're the mainstream media!

"so called 'civilised' people from the west "
Israelis are not from "the West", we are by and large indigenous to this region, but by the standards of our neighbours, we are civilized...but it is not much help in our image for hypocrite people like you. Assad the father knew how to suppress terrorists who threatened his regime--he killed 25,000 + in one month (mostly civilian) in the town of Hama, Syria 1982 when it was taken over by Muslim Brother extremist opponents. That is how you win.

If you bothered to read my post you'll notice i'm talking about Max Blumenthal's reports, plural.
If you live in the 'West' eg Europe and the US, it's taken for granted that like Israel (which orientates towards and is supported militarily and economically by 'the West' ) we are the good guys. We bomb for justice and democracy. What state carries out aggression and calls it aggression? It's always 'defence'. Even Hitler said he was defending Europe from Bolshevism.
Alimantado91 2 years ago
We are not interested in bombing for abstract concepts like "justice" and "democracy". We don't care if the Arabs in Gaza want a theocratic Islamic fundamentalist government or communist government or Jeffersoni republic. We care simply that they never send any rockets at our citizens or threaten us in our land. Otherwise, they can do whatever they want. Like I said-- I am a Middle Eastern Jew, I think Israel should be more Middle Eastern in its response to terror--like our neighbour Assad!!

That's why you're boo-hooing.
Our political economy is corrupt. Every ethnic group in America has political capital and the Jewish community has the most. They can literally and through social pressures, buy off politicians and set the agenda for our foreign policy along w/ the MIC, etc.

So yea, Blumenthal wouldn't be 'mainstream' because mainstream is a FRAUD.
Israel is a racist, colonial project. There would be no JEWISH State without the ethnic cleansing of 800K Palestinians from their homes and land.
Jews owned 6 or 7% of the land and property back then and were less than a third of the population.
Of course the Arabs would be upset that this minority wanted to form a political entity on top of them - the INDIGENOUS POPULATION.
Fuck Zionism. Fascist scum.
Arjuna1901 2 years ago 2
"Jews owned 6 or 7% of the land and property back then "
Majority of the land was owned by rich effendis (absentee landlords) who lived in Beirut or Europe or by the Ottoman state, and then subsequently the British. Very little of the land was legally held by the local residents, whether Jewish or Arab. What's your point?
MikhaelMeir 2 years ago
Jews have always been indigenous to this region also. I can trace my roots here back to the 14th century at least on my father's maternal line. I respect the rights of the local Arabs residing in the West Bank and Gaza to their own self-determination and attain their own state, but that self-determination does not extend to wiping out the sovereign existence of their neighbours in Israel. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish nation, we are entitled to our own state.

Ethnic states are history--except in Israel. The transition of Israel to post-ethnic, to a state that gives its indigenous people equal rights and gives them the same right of return that it gives to Jews, will have to happen. The sooner the easier and the better. Otherwise, Israel will radicalize itself even more and more.
