This principle requires an update of the term “state lands,” which the Israeli occupation dictionary has translated into “lands of the State of Israel” and the political lexicon has transformed into “Jewish settlements.” Were I a Palestinian, I would therefore demand that the tenders for land allotments in the entire West Bank and East Jerusalem also be open to me. I would thank Netanyahu for his plan for “economic peace,” but on that basis would demand from the government of the Jewish people the same development budgets and water allotments it grants its Jewish citizens. And, of course, I would expect it would restore without delay my private land that has become the location of illegal outposts.

NOVANEWS

I don’t know what the copyright issues are here so watch it while it lasts and if you can’t see it here go watch it at at the Guardian site.

As I watched this for the umpteenth time I was reminded of the old cliché that two Jews need three synagogues to accommodate all their opinions. If the cliché is true then Caryl Churchill has portrayed it excellently as her Jewish parents argue over what to tell their Jewish children. So where do the zionists get the idea that this play is a uniformly negative portrayal of the Jews? It was a short play, maybe they weren’t paying attention. Surely they wouldn’t falsely accuse people of antisemitism?

Guardian hosts 7 Jewish children so Harry’s Place hosts Jud Süß

So what’s all this? The Guardian decided, what with all the hooha about the play, they would commission an actor to perform 7 Jewish children: a play for Gaza. I posted the script some time ago, here. So now you can watch the play and read the script. I couldn’t get into the script but it is very ably performed, indeed the script really comes alive when performed by Jennie Stoller so if you haven’t watched it yet you might want to do so before reading on.

The HP post simply says the following:

Guardian Stages Seven Jewish Children

David T, April 25th 2009

You can read the Guardian’s self-justification here.

You can watch it online here.

This is the Guardian’s next theatrical project.

 And the next theatrical project is the notorious antisemitic nazi propaganda film, Jud Süß.

See what I mean in the comments. The first one is quite a good one from an Andrew Adams :

So they’re staging a reading so that people can actually see for themselves what the fuss is about and make their own mind up. And that’s the same as showing a Nazi propaganda film. A sense of proportion is required here I think.

And the riposte from DT?

”tell her we’re chosen people”

See what I mean by enigmatic or am I doing it now? Is he saying that no Jewish children ever get told that they are chosen people? Where did the expression come from? Why was that film about frummer and reformers called “The Chosen”? or where I saw it, The Chosen PG. What about Tevia in Fiddler on the Roof? Why did he tell G-d to choose someone else? A similar thing gets said by one of the characters in the film Defiance. The chosen people thing runs very deeply in the Jewish religion and means different thing to different people but its incorporation into the zionist ideology, whether secular or religious, as an idea of Jewish superiority can’t seriously be gainsaid. Personally I have had several Jews, Israelis and Christians say to me that Jews are the chosen people. So what’s he saying?

DT needs time to think about what he is to say to firm up on the allegation that Caryl Churchill’s play is comparable to a nazi propaganda film, so one minute after his first response comes his second:

Let me put it this way, Andrew.

You’re not an anti-racist. You’re happy to give anti-semitism a pass, as long as it is plausibly dressed up as anti-Zionism.

Goodness, all he said was it was a bit disproportionate suggesting that the Guardian was close to hosting nazi propaganda. For all we know Andrew might be very concerned about racism and possibly about antisemitism in particular. You really can’t say one way or the other from the comment he made and sure enough, Andrew’s having none of it:

You’re not an anti-racist. You’re happy to give anti-semitism a pass, as long as it is plausibly dressed up as anti-Zionism.

Crap. I don’t have a view about whether the play is anti-semitic or not, I haven’t seen it or read it. But it has certainly attracted a lot of controversy so why not give people an opportunity to make their minds up for themselves.

Typically the thread meanders a good bit while people try to outdo each other for allegations of antisemitism (I’m skimming) so whilst it’s not entirely clear who DT is responding to here I’ll assume it’s this Andrew guy:

I’m not suggesting it should be banned.

I’m just explaining that people who do put on a play, the thesis of which is that Jewish children are told to celebrate the deaths of others, because they are “the chosen people” are antisemites.

I also think that people who do not see this is a racist argument, are tolerant of racism.

So Caryl Churchill has written an antisemitic play and anyone who hosts it for any reason is antisemitic. This includes the liberal zionist Jewish lobby theatre, Theatre J.

Now a lot more drivel follows, especially from DT but then in wades The Hasbara Buster :

It’s very amusing to see how many of Caryl’s negative reviewers have written critiques imitating the “Tell her that–” model. The play has hit home, not because of its literary merit, which it absolutely lacks, but because of how effectively it ridicules Zionist brainwashing. The crude, childish indoctrination depicted in the play is in fact what young –and adult– Jews are fed by their political and religious leadership.

You don’t like it? Then stop repeating moronic clichés like ”they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity,” “we’ll have peace when they love their children more than they hate us,” or “we can forgive their killing our children, but not their forcing us to kill theirs.” Each time you Zionists repeat them you expose yourselves as the brainwashed lot you are.

It’s very amusing to see how many of Caryl’s negative reviewers have written critiques imitating the “Tell her that–” model.

On a first-name basis now? Does she call you Hasbara?

No, she calls you hasbara, Gene, at least she would if she knew you.

Things go from weird to weirder when “Joshua” suggests, by quoting Theodor Herzl’s notorious acceptance of antisemitism, that resistance to antisemitism is futile given that:

anti-Semites and anti-Zionists will achieve the same result in their newspapers and on their blogs. They will simply redouble their efforts and attempt to diminish you and those like you at every turn.

What? DT’s not having any of that with all his achievements and ends his response by saying:

we most certainly aren’t standing around doing nothing. Our enemies have a pretty good idea of what we’ve achieved and it makes them very nervous.

Oo-er! But back comes Joshua:

The notion that you have had anything but the slightest effect on those anti-Semites and anti-Zionists is utterly absurd. You have made them nervous? Hubristic twaddle.

Sorry about that. Two lunatics slugging it out over whether nazi propaganda can be stopped at the Guardian is no better than just the one. I just wanted to show that little hint of a Napoleon complex on DT’s part.

Back to the Hasbara Buster, picking up on some of David T’s claims within the thread:

What a hilarious play Churchill has written. I would spit in her face.

And he gets support from a fan, Chas Newkey-Burden :

“What a hilarious play Churchill has written. I would spit in her face.”

Join the queue.

Actually, I hope I wouldn’t. I hope I’d have the grace to walk away.

Me too, I’d hate him to bring the Jews into disrepute.

But HB plumped for an incident involving a holocaust denier. What a gift from HB to HP and especially to DT. Straight away, ignoring the point completely HB is asked if he supports Faurisson:

No; I’m just debunking the myth that Jews don’t threaten violence over the defamations they’ve been subject to.

And he was and he did and he moved on to debunk another myth in the making.

I’m not getting into that; I’ll only say that Faurisson was beaten by Jews, who in turn were praised by a leading Jewish personality, for the sole crime of exercising his right to free speech.

You bloody well are getting into that!

“I’ll only say…”

You scumbag Faurrison supporter.

Churchill’s wars?

Read the “worst” monologue, the climactic one: “Tell her, tell her about the army, tell her to be proud of the army. Tell her about the family of dead girls, tell her the names, why not, tell her the whole world knows why shouldn’t she know? tell her there’s dead babies, did she see babies? tell her she’s got nothing to be ashamed of. Tell her they did it to themselves. Tell her they want their children killed to make people feel sorry for them, tell them I don’t feel sorry for them, tell her not to be sorry for them, tell her we’re the ones to be sorry for, tell her they can’t talk suffering to us. Tell her we’re the iron fist now, tell her it’s the fog of war, tell her I laughed when I saw the dead policemen, tell her they’re animals living in rubble now, tell her I wouldn’t care if we wiped them out, the world would hate us is the only thing, tell her I don’t care if the world hates us, tell her we’re better haters, tell her we’re chosen people, tell her I look at one of their children covered in blood and what do I feel? tell her all I feel is happy it’s not her.”

I heard comments similar to these from some of my relatives during the war. Going back through the 24 years I’ve lived here, I’ve heard comments like these from relatives, neighbors, fellow soldiers – I’ve heard it and read it all over the place. I’ve heard it from Diaspora Jews too.

Who are we kidding? Does that monologue represent the voice of every Israeli and “pro-Israeli” Diaspora Jew? Of course not. But is it an authentic voice, a view of Palestinians held by many, many Jews here and abroad even if they don’t express it publicly? Has that voice not gotten louder? And when push comes to shove with the Palestinians, as it did in Operation Cast Lead, does Seven Jewish Children not echo the inner (and often outer) voice of Israel at war?

The comments are so bizarre in that many of them could have formed the basis of play. Thankfully some of the thirty-eight comments point that out.

Obama’s Brother Accused of Attempted Sexual Assault of Young British Girl

By Jeff Davis – EURO

Ironically, in view of the official adulation with which Obama has recently received in the U.K., the British newspaper News of the World has reported that Barack Obama’s African half brother was recently refused entry into the United Kingdom on the grounds that he attempted a sexual assault against a school girl.

The News of the World reports, “American president Barack Obama’s half brother was refused a visa to enter the UK after being accused of an attempted sex attack on a young British girl. The News of the World can reveal that Kenya-based Samson Obama tried to get into Britain on his way to Washington for his family’s big day, the historic inauguration in January. But eagle-eyed immigration officials at East Midlands Airport, using the latest biometric tests, discovered he was linked to an incident here last November.

News of the World continues: “Details on the hi-tech database revealed that Samson-who manages a mobile phone shop just outside Nairobi -was in fact the same man who was arrested by police in Berkshire after he approached a group of young girls, including a 13 year-old, and allegedly tried to sexually assault one of them. He then followed them into a cafe where he became aggressive and was asked to leave by the owner. That’s when police were called to the scene and Samson was arrested. But he gave officers a false ID – claiming to be Henry Aloo, a genuine refugee and asylum seeker – and supplied his mother’s address in Bracknell.”

This is how many illegal aliens dodge criminal charges. Fortunately, technology is catching up with these Third World criminals.

The article notes “Following Samson’s arrest he was fingerprinted but not formally charged and then left the country. However, all his details were stored on the Home Office’s new database of prints and biometric details. And that’s what finally pinpointed Samson’s link to the world’s most powerful leader-as he attempted to slip back into Britain to visit relatives en route to joining the two million crowd at the swearing-in ceremony.”

Should we even bother to ask A).Why nothing about this appeared in any world media at the time? B).Why it is finally being reported now, three months after the incident, by a British tabloid? Perhaps bringing up a sexual assault by the president’s brother against a little White girl would remind everyone why there is a problem with many African men in White nations.
