Fatah and Hamas; Reconciliation or Escape Forward

NOVANEWS

 

With both organizations having lost their sponsors and afraid its leadership may face the same fate as Hosni Mubarak and Bashar Assad, they pre-empted it with a quick announcement of “reconciliation.” Saving their skin is no doubt one key factor that is behind this quick agreement.

by Sami Jaddallah

The news coming out of Cairo in the last 48 hours is very surprising to every one.  Most of all to Bibi Netanyahu who gave Mahmoud Abbas a choice; either peace with Israel or reconciliation with Hamas and who ordered his security forces to put more squeeze on Gaza.

Bibi forgetting that Mahmoud Abbas has been knocking on the doors of Israel on his hands and knees begging for peace with or without Hamas for over 20 years and there was one answer, Jewish Occupation and expansion of Jewish Settlements colonies, more important than peace with the Palestinians.

I do not want to throw cold water on what was agreed to in Cairo between Azzam Al-Ahmed and Musa Abu-Marzouk, though by watching in depth interviews with both gentlemen one can only come out with headlines.

A new government of professional technocrats approved by both parties, calls for national elections and a new Palestine National Council within one year and a selected election commission of 12 members approved by both parties.

Hamas and Fatah – Together Again ?

Of course Fatah and the PLO lost a sponsor and an advocate in Hosni Mubarak who is now in prison and may face hanging.

Hamas is in deep trouble with its sponsor and advocate Bashar Assad who is in deep trouble and may lose power and may face the same fate as that of Hosni Mubarak. Hamas cannot count on Iran, as Iran will also face an uprising that will sweep the government of the Mullahs.

With both organizations having lost their sponsors and afraid its leadership may face the same fate as Hosni Mubarak and Bashar Assad, they pre-empted it with a quick announcement of “reconciliation.”  Saving their skin is no doubt one key factor that is behind this quick agreement.

Missing from all of this is the response from the US which funds and contributes $470 millions a year to thePalestinian Authority in partial defraying the costs of the Jewish Occupation.  America does not contribute this kind of money for the black eyes of the Palestinians but for the interests of Israel first and foremost.

The questions both Hamas and Fatah have to face is this, will the new government continue to manage the Jewish Occupation as agreed to under Oslo? And will it continue to act as a security contractor for the Israeli Occupation not different from Blackwater for the American Occupation in Iraq.

The US and the EC and to a certain extent some Arab donors know that funding the Palestinian Authority and keeping it in business is also funding the Jewish Occupation and the money contributed is a saving for Israel to use in its settlement activities, costs it will have to dish out if the Palestinian Authority was not there to do the job for Israel.

With the Divide and Conquer Game End ?

Next the Palestinian Authority, the PLO, Fatah and Hamas will have to face, the suspension of funds to the Palestinian Authority and the expected US “veto” and will the Arab countries make up whatever short falls will be?

For sure the American Knesset will not approve any more funds or contributions to the Palestinian Authority and Barack Obama facing a re-election cannot afford to lose his big time American Jewish/Zionist donors.

He also is not in a position to take on the American Knesset in defiance of Israel and its King, Bibi Netanyahu, who will for sure use this event to squeeze more blood out of the American tax payers. When he speaks before the American Knesset and AIPAC.

Mahmoud Abbas only few days ago, announced he will do all he can to make sure there is no Third Intifada.  I have no idea how Mahmoud Abbas and Khalid Mishal will  reconcile their agreement with the Palestinian Authority continuing its relations with both Israel and America when both are not ready and not willing to move forward with peace with Hamas.

So far and after 20 years of negotiations with Israel, and the US, Mahmoud Abbas has been losing lots of grounds (real land) to the Jewish Occupation and has not made any gains for the people whatsoever, except keeping Fatah and the PLO in business managing the Jewish Occupation.

http://israeli-occupation.org/docs/settlements_map_eng_201101.pdf

I have no idea how the Palestinian leadership plans to end the Jewish Occupation?  Since Israel and the US are not willing to move forward with negotiations that ends the Jewish Occupation, end the Settlement activities, let alone force the vacating of some 500,000 armed settlers ready to go to war if Israel or any one else forces them to move out.

Obama is a lost cause and no one should count on him for any thing. The man who orders a “veto” of the UNSC resolution on Jewish settlements could not be counted on for any thing.  He is not his own man.

Former Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah

Perhaps the only thing ahead for the Palestinian people is a Third Intifada, not like the one aborted by Arafat and Abu-Jihad as a prelude to Oslo.

And certainly not a Second Intifada which was so poorly managed and administered by Arafat that it not only allowed Israel to re-occupy areas it redeployed from with Oslo, but destroyed billions worth of infrastructures. It created a bunch of  thugs and gangs in the name of liberation and created a state of chaos in the Palestinian Territories.

The Third Intifada has to be civil, unarmed, persistent and consistent civil uprising, general strike, destruction and burning of all Israeli issued IDs.  It should call for all Palestinian big shots to give up their VIP passes and of course the Palestinian Authority to disband since it should not do any service for and on behalf of Israel.

It must chose either to be with the people in their uprising, or betray them by partnering  in the Jewish Occupation.

Egypt warns io-Nai Regime : Don’t interfere with opening of Gaza border crossing

NOVANEWS

 

Rafah’s opening would be a violation of an agreement reached in 2005 between the U.S., IsraHell Egypt, and the EU; Israel official tells the Wall Street Journal developments in Egypt could affect Israel’s national security.

Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces General Sami Anan warned Israel against interfering with Egypt’s plan to open the Rafah border crossing with Gaza on a permanent basis, saying it was not a matter of Israel’s concern, Army Radio reported on Saturday.

Egypt announced this week that it intended to permanently open the border crossing with Gaza within the next few days.

The announcement indicates a significant change in the policy on Gaza, which before Egypt’s uprising, was operated in conjunction with Israel. The opening of Rafah will allow the flow of people and goods in and out of Gaza without Israeli permission or supervision, which has not been the case up until now.

An Israeli official on Friday told The Wall Street Journal that Israel was troubled by the recent developments in Egypt saying they could affect Israel’s national security at a strategic level.

Israel’s blockade on Gaza has been a policy used in conjunction with Egyptian police to weaken Hamas, which has ruled over the strip since 2007.

Rafah’s opening would be a violation of an agreement reached in 2005 between the United States, Israel, Egypt, and the European Union, which gives EU monitors access to the crossing. The monitors were to reassure Israel that weapons and militants wouldn’t get into Gaza after its pullout from the territory in the fall of 2005.

Before Egypt’s uprising and ousting of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak, the border between Egypt and Gaza had been sealed. It has occasionally opened the passage for limited periods.

Putin eclipses Medvedev in run-up to 2012 election

NOVANEWS

 

 

Putin and Medvedev

 

Putin, a former two-time president, appears to have gained the upper hand in a fierce power struggle with his protege, and analysts say the presidency his for the taking.

The 2012 Russian presidential elections may be over already.

Vladimir Putin‘s words and deeds of late have made it eminently clear that he’s had enough of being prime minister and wants the No. 1 job back from President Dmitry Medvedev. And many experts believe it’s his for the taking.

Amid what political analysts have identified as a fierce power struggle between the two Russian leaders, the expulsion of a key Medvedev aide from the Kremlin is being interpreted as a sign that Putin has gained the upper hand.

And Medvedev’s own recent comments referring to life after politics have done little to alter that impression.

Two weeks ago, Medvedev’s political advisor, Gleb Pavlovsky, discovered he was no longer welcome as a political strategist in Moscow’s halls of power. “I think I lost my position in the Kremlin due to an impulse from Putin’s team,” Pavlovsky said in an interview after news of his firing in mid-April leaked out this week.

“If Putin returns to the Kremlin, this will weaken the institution of the Russian presidency,” said Pavlovsky, president of the Efficient Politics Foundation. He said such a move would “look scandalous even for his own supporters.”

But Medvedev already has given indications that he sees a future outside the Kremlin. During a recent tour of an online television network, he said he would like to teach because “it is simply a must for any politician who has led a state to by all means talk about some of his experiences, negative or positive.”

Medvedev said he would like to lecture not only at the Skolkovo business school — one of the keys to his ambitious modernization program — “but at other places too.”

“It was more than simply a slip of the tongue, it was a white flag on his part,” said Andrei Piontkovsky of the Systems Analysis Institute. “Medvedev must have finally given up hope that Putin will allow him to stay in the Kremlin for another six years. … The Russian top political alpha male can’t afford to wait that long.”

Putin, from using his post as prime minister to bring the 2014 Winter Olympics and 2018 World Cup to Russia, to tagging a polar bear with a transponder, to singing “Blueberry Hill” in English at a benefit concert, has not shirked from taking center stage.

“Medvedev himself understands that he is no match for Putin,” said Dmitry Oreshkin, a senior analyst with the Institute of Geography. “Even if both men run, Putin, apart from his popularity, controls the central election commission, whose head is his personal friend and loyal supporter.… In Russia, it doesn’t count how people vote, it’s how the votes are counted.”

Only a short while ago, the winners and losers in Moscow’s greatest political game appeared to be reversed.

In March, Medvedev publicly rebuked Putin over his criticism of the NATO-led military operation in Libya.

Putin had compared the alliance’s mission to “a medieval crusade” and insisted that the events in Libya “once again prove that we are right in strengthening the defense capability of Russia.”

The same night, Medvedev, making a televised address wearing the uniform of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, admonished Putin by saying it was “inadmissible to use expressions that in fact lead to a clash of civilizations, like ‘the crusades’ and so on.”

“It is unacceptable,” he said of Putin’s statement. “Otherwise, it may end far worse than what is going on now, and everybody must remember it.”

Medvedev continued his political offensive by issuing a decree in late March ordering Cabinet members to relinquish seats on boards of major state-owned companies to promote a spirit of free competition. Putin’s right-hand man and “gray cardinal,” Vice Premier Igor Sechin, had to quit as chairman of Rosneft, a leading Russian oil company.

Others in the ruling United Russia Party were quickly demoted after openly supporting Putin’s position on Libya.

But Putin decisively turned the tables in April, delivering a four-hour report to the parliament’s lower house in which he outlined future strategy and argued that the nation “must become one of the five leading world economies … with the average income of $35,000 per person.”

“It was not a premier’s but a president’s speech, casting a strategic vision of the nation’s development for decades ahead,” analyst Oreshkin said. “In contrast to the energetic and omnipresent Putin, Medvedev has looked recently like a deflated balloon who knows that his time in office runs to a close, with no chances to be reelected.”

During a news conference this week while on a visit to Stockholm, Putin was at his self-confident best as he suggested that the 2012 race was quickly narrowing down to one choice: “The time will come and we will take a corresponding decision. You will like it. It will make you pleased.”

URGENT CALL FOR A LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN

NOVANEWS
 


 

Please distribute widely!

 

 

 

Background follows the request

 

Recognition Forum

Consisting of The Association of Forty, Gush Shalom, The Society for the Support and Defense  of Bedouin Rights in Israel, Social TV, Alternative Information Center, Yesh Gvul, Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, The Negev Co-Existence Forum for Civil Equality, New Profile, Coalition of Women for Peace, Rabbis for Human Rights, Taayush – Arab-Jewish Partnership.

 

Coalition of Organizations for the Recognition of the Unrecognized Bedouin Arab Villages in the Negev

 

CALL FOR A LETTER-WRITING CAMPAIGN

 

You stand at a village that has been demolished yet again after who knows how many times, and see the people setting up shelter out of anything they can lay their hands on, and there is nothing you can do. You think about the State which, beyond demolishing their miserable dwellings again and again, does absolutely nothing for them. You come to another village and see more demolitions by the State. You go to yet another village where all the homes have been issued demolition orders by the State. In their anguish people grasp at anyone willing to help, desperately few and far between.

 

 

 

By political legislation, the State of Israel has made the lives of the Negev Bedouins a veritable hell. The clash between law and morality-justice has become unbearable! The State treats the Bedouin citizens of Israel like human livestock that can be transported here today, there tomorrow. And who are they to resist?! All of this is due to the misfortune of being born Bedouin in the State of the Jews. The most dangerous brand of racism in Israel is that of its government. We call upon you to help us make the relevant government ministers understand that we will not accept government racism towards the Bedouins, nor keep silent in view of the terror acts perpetrated by the government against the Bedouin villages. We call upon you to help us with this letter-writing campaign, and take part in this struggle against Israel’s policy of violence, coercion and destruction. Please write and distribute letters to the ministers whose email addresses we have listed below.

 

For years an unwritten government policy has been implemented towards erasing whole villages of Negev Bedouins. The repeated demolitions of Twawil Abu Jarawal (fifty times) and the current wave of twenty-two demolitions of Al Arakib, in addition to the resolution taken to increase the number of demolitions of Bedouin homes in the unrecognized villages from 250 to 700 a year – these are an apt illustration of this policy. Furthermore, other unrecognized Bedouin villages such as Alsira, Tel Arad and Um Al Kheiran are threatened with demolition and expulsion. Now the JNF is sent out on forestation projects on lands stolen from Bedouins. At Tawawil Abu Jarawal a forest has already been planted, and at Al Arakib preparations for planting are nearly completed. We now hear of a new government plan to accelerate the process of grabbing what is left of the Bedouins’ lands so that they will end up with a mere 150,000 dunams (15,000 Hectares), and finally be all forced into the government-built towns. We now know of the intention to demand of Al Arakib inhabitants to pay the State’s expenses of demolishing their village time and again!! Current legislation initiative at the Knesset will force anyone to pay the State’s expenses for demolishing their home.

 

Thanking you, sincerely,

 

Recognition Forum

Dear Sir,

 

Re: My objection to the policy of your government, demolishing Bedouin villages in the Negev

 

I have learned of your government’s plan to deprive Bedouin citizens of Israel of the remainder of their lands and concentrate all of the Bedouins inside towns, leaving them with about 150,000 dunams.

 

If some other state were to decide to concentrate its Jewish citizens in towns especially constructed for them and begin to demolish their own homes and confiscate their property, would Israel not engage in a struggle against such criminal intentions? I assure you I would take an active part in such a struggle!

 

I cannot possibly understand why you do this to your Bedouin citizens. Why have you demolished Tawail Abu Jarawal fifty times?! Or Al Arakib twenty-two times? Why do you demolish hundreds of Bedouin dwellings a year in the Negev ? Why have you created the authority for enforcing the resolutions of planning and construction, a special police force for the protection of those out to demolish homes?! Why do you uproot thousands of fruit trees belonging to Bedouins in Al Arakib and planting a forest in their stead?! Why do you destroy Bedouins’ farm produce over thousands of dunams every year? Why do you not allow the Bedouins to live on their lands and farm them with pride?

 

I have a growing suspicion that you do this to them only on account of their being Bedouins in the Jewish State.

 

I appeal to your honor to please put an end to your war against your Bedouin citizens and enable them to live on their lands and farm them with dignity.

================

 

Background:

 

In 1948, as the State of Israel was about to be founded, about 110,000 Bedouins were living in the Negev. After the war, their expulsions from the southern part of the country persisted. The 1960 census shows that 11,000 Bedouins remained in the Negev. In the early 1950s, the State of Israel concentrated the Bedouins in the Sayag region (see map appended). Entire tribes were removed from their own lands in the western and southern Negev desert into the Sayag area. They were told the army needed their lands for maneuvers, and for their own safety they must leave for about half a year. They were promised that half a year late4r they would be allowed to return. These promises were not fulfilled and instead, a law was passed (the land purchase law of 1953) to transfer ownership of the property to the State – pure land grab through legislation.  The State declared a large part of the Sayag area where the Bedouins were relocated as a region devoid of any municipal authority. The planning and construction law passed in 1965 declared all of the Sayag as agricultural lands, and thus no building was permitted on them. Every home already existing there was considered ‘illegal’ as a result.  Thus, with a mere political resolution, the Israeli government turned the entire Bedouin population into lawbreakers when they simply came to realize their basic human right to shelter. The Bedouin villages within the Sayag that existed since before the founding of the State were not recognized either.

 

In the late 1960s a new phase began in the concentration of Bedouins in even more reduced areas. The State began to construct a small number of towns intended for Bedouin habitation. In order to encourage the Bedouins to move into those towns, the government implemented a policy of home demolitions, destruction of farm produce, confiscation of sheep and goat flocks and denial of basic services – water, electricity, access roads, schools, clinics, sanitation etc. Only after extended legal and public struggles, was the State finally forced to build twenty regional schoolhouses for the unrecognized villages, as well as eight clinics, and connect a few villages to the water supply grid. Not only were the Bedouins’ lands nationalized and taken from them and only a bare minimum remained in their ownership, this policy of dispossession and robbery was accompanied by an extensive publicity campaign to demonize the Bedouins.

 

In 1973 the government enabled the Bedouins to claim their lands. Their claims then totaled 1,000,000 dunams.

 

The towns are a failure from every point of view. They suffer from the highest rates of unemployment in the country, severe crime problems, violence, a lack of employment possibilities, no public transportation, banks or big business, etc. The number of planned and existing Arab localities in the southern part of the country (fifteen) is very small and constitute 6.25% of the total number of localities in the region (240) and 11% of the total number of localities in the Beer Sheva district . The municipal jurisdiction of Arab localities in the Negev covers the total area of about 119.3 square kilometers and constitute 0.92% of the total area of the Negev (12,954 square kilometers), while according to the statistics yearly, at the end of 2009 the Bedouin Arab population of the Negev consisted of 192,000 persons and constituted over 30% of the general population in Beer Sheva district, amounting to 613,090 persons.

 

  

The Bedouin tribes, spread throughout the Negev desert and intensively using about 2,000,000 dunams of land, now live on about 350,000 dunams and are struggling to retain their ownership of another 450,000 dunams. The Bedouin population lives in dozens of unrecognized villages (about 80,000 persons) and in eight State-built towns (about 110,000 inhabitants) and seven localities currently undergoing recognition processes. If the State manages to concentrate the Bedouins, their habitat will be dramatically reduced.

 

From all of the above we learn that the State of Israel persecutes its Bedouin citizens and desires the remainder of their lands. The miserable situation inside the towns proves that no concern for the Bedouins’ welfare brought about their construction, but rather the will to expel them from their own lands.

obama ends oil subsidies

NOVANEWS

Very clever of Obama. Get on the television and issue a couple comforting bromides about the difficulties the good ‘ole American people are going through because of pump prices averaging $3.90 a gallon. Pass the burden of blame onto Congress. Blather about the state “subsidies” to the oil companies to the tune of 4 billion dollars a year. Claim that those companies should definitely have the right to profit — as chief reverend in the Church of American Capitalism Obama always has to include a paean to profit in his sermons. And then note that the government need not subsidize their excess profits, in the process managing quite smartly to ideologically oppose “wasteful” government spending thereby trying to co-opt the anti-state agenda, and in practice oppose some tiny little bit of wasteful government spending, enfolding good-governance neo-liberals, while muffling the real problem: oil prices are at 113 dollars a barrel and $3.90 at the pump because our corporations are robbing us blind with the excuse of “instability” in the Middle East, instability they systemically foster through American violence in the region.

Perhaps the Nation magazine will have a little squib about how Obama is finally mustering up the courage to confront his corporate funders, making good on the hopes for messianic redemption which the southern Manhattan lower-upper middle class had invested in him. It’s like a thief placating you by giving you a few pennies back for every dollar he steals from you.

Meanwhile the oil majors’ net profits were at 38 billion for Q1:

O Right, the rest of the fireside chat. Obama makes sure to clarify to Conoco and Exxon that he is not “opposed to producing oil.” Of course not, not when the oil companies shovel campaign donations into his war chest. Producing oil should simply occur in the context of investing in “clean energy”; another job requirement of the Blatherer-in-Chief is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in your head at the same time. In this case, that means holding oil consumption and so carbon emissions steady by off-shoring filthy manufacturing to China while at the same time simultaneously transforming young American men into corpses and oil into gold, through the alchemy of stratospheric oil price increases. The result is the further destruction of the social fabric of the country, in whose worn threadbare patches Sara Palin and Xymphora can find a secure spot to ponder the provenance of Obama’s birth certificate and wonder whether Dennis Ross is an Israeli agent, an Israeli spy, or (perish the thought) simply a typical bottom-feeder agent of capital and empire.

Does this seem wise? Of course not. It’s based on the fantasy that we can maintain a civilization built on artificially cheap carbon emissions by slowly plopping green energy projects in place of the carbon-spewers we now use to create energy and building hybrid vehicles to make up the difference while Capitalism gives equal space in newspaper articles about global warming to fake science crapped out by petroleum industry-funded think tanks and mainstream scientists calmly informing us that the world is burning.

Of course, before getting to the question of what an ecologically sound political program would look like for a non-existent left, we have the problem of actually building that left. To that end, we have the ordinarily on-target Robin Yassin-Kassab, taking a bunch of pot-shots at an amorphous and currently non-existent phantasm known as “the Western left,” and advising this left by way of the actually existing British left that “Libya is not Iraq. The left fears it might be because the left has an oil obsession,” as opposed to the US government, which pays no attention to the proceeds from black gold. Righto. Concerning reality, which has to be the starting point for both analysis and actually building a left, in response to the turmoil in Libya it seems that Saudi Arabia has actually slowed down or stopped its production increases, helping to push oil prices higher and higher. It’s just coincidence that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is our major ally in the region, right, and that it just happens to systematically pursue policies that fatten the pockets of XOM and the financial firms that manage Saudi investments, correct?

However, increases in oil prices rack other sectors of the economy, part of why growth decreased, and perhaps part of why within the next couple of elections there’s a good shot of a “rogue” candidate using independent sources of wealth to pull American forces back and re-entrench American expansion. We will likely see such a rogue candidate, but I am not sure he’ll win, given the inability of the American ruling class to conceive of its interests in the long-run manner that the post-WWII planners envisioned post-war hegemonic planning, not unrelated to the environment crisis within which carbon civilization is mired. Does that matter to Palestine, finally? For sure. working towards a free Palestine means also working towards a world in which a free Palestine isn’t unlivable due to ecological degradation and climate change.

EU member states to impose arms embargo on Syria in response to brutal crackdowns

NOVANEWS

by crescentandcross

 

European Union member states reach preliminary agreement to impose embargo; at meeting EU ambassadors ask EU experts to prepare plans for possible travel bans and asset freezes that could be imposed on Syrian leadership.

European Union member states reached preliminary agreement to Friday to impose an arms embargo on Syria and consider other restrictive measures in response to Syria’s crackdown on protests, diplomats said.

At a meeting in Brussels, ambassadors of EU governments gave a preliminary green light to the arms embargo and a ban on equipment used for repression, which will have to be formalized in the coming days.

They also asked EU experts to prepare plans for possible travel bans and asset freezes that could be imposed on the Syrian leadership.

“There was political agreement for an arms embargo,” one EU diplomat said. “They also agreed to prepare for individual sanctions.”

A spokesman for Hungary, which hold the bloc’s six-month rotating presidency, said preparations could move quickly.

“(EU governments) understood the grave situation in Syria. The presidency made it clear that as soon as we have a proposal on the table, we will start working on sanctions,” he said.

The preliminary agreement comes on the same day that the Obama administration announced that it would be imposing sanctions on Syrians involved in government crackdowns, and the United Nations Human Rights Council passed Resolution S-16/1, condemning the Syrian government’s violent reprisals against its citizens.

The U.S. sponsored sanctions were leveled against two relatives of President Bashar Assad, Syria’s intelligence agency and its director, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – Qods Force in response to their part in crackdowns on Syrian protests.

Assad was not among those targeted for the sanctions, which will include asset freezes and bans on U.S. business dealings, but he could be named later if violence by government forces against pro-democracy protesters continues, the officials said.

Obama said in the executive order authorizing the sanctions that they were being leveled as a result of the “government of Syria’s human rights abuses, including those related to the repression of the people of Syria, manifested most recently by the use of violence and torture against, and arbitrary arrests and detentions of, peaceful protestors by police, security forces, and other entities that have engaged in human rights abuses.”

The U.S. president said that these actions pose “an unusual andextraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.”
One official said the White House is “not ready” to call on Assad to step down because President Barack Obama and his aides “do not want to get out in front of the Syrian people.”

The UN Human Rights Council expressed similar sentiments to the U.S. president, condemning for using deadly force against peaceful protesters and launched an investigation into killings and other alleged crimes.

Human Rights Council Resolution S-16/1 expressed “deep regret at the deaths of hundreds of people in connection with the recent and ongoing political protests in Syria, and grave concern with respect to alleged deliberate killings, arrests, and instances of torture of peaceful protestors by the Syrian authorities.”

The resolution reiterated UN Chief Ban Ki-moon’s recent call for an independent and transparent investigation of the situation in Syria, calling on the Syrian government to put an end to killings and allow freedom of expression.

It noted the Syrian government’s stated intention to take steps for reform “urging the Syrian Arab Republic to take urgent and concrete measures to meet the legitimate demands of its people, including by enlarging the scope of political participation and dialogue, following through on the abolition of the High State Security Court and the lifting of measures restricting the exercise of fundamental freedoms.”

The resolution fell short, however, of calling for international intervention, and reaffirmed that all UN members should refrain from breaching “the territorial integrity or political independence of any state”.

The human rights body, like the U.S. president, refrained from overtly calling on Syrian President Assad to step down.

The U.S. – sponsored resolution condemned the use of violence against peaceful protesters by Syrian authorities, calling on the Syrian government to allow all its people access to medical treatment and put an end to all human rights violations.

Cairo’s decision to open Rafah border has Jerusalem worried over new security threats

Ed note–Israel is not ‘concerned’ about this latest development at all. She plans all-out war with Egypt in order to steal the Sinai and all the land up to and including the Nile River, and in order to prepare the public mind for this a state of war must be created between Israel and Egypt, one of the many reasons that the “revolution” in Egypt was allowed to take place.

Egypt’s shifting foreign policy, including the decision to open the Egypt-Gaza border, embrace Hamas and upgrade relations with Iran, has Israel concerned that these recent moves may translate into new security threats, which may eventually undermining the peace between Jerusalem and Cairo.

“We are troubled by recent developments in Egypt,” a senior Israeli official told the Wall Street Journal. “These developments can affect Israel’s national security at a strategic level.”

The reaction emphasizes what has already been called a “widening rift” between Israel and Egypt, on the backdrop of the recent wave of popular unrest sweeping across the Arab world.

One of the first major changes to ensue was the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who worked with Israel to contain Hamas, through a blockade of the coastal strip.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil al-Arabi said Thursday in an interview with al-Jazeera Television that Cairo plans to open up the Rafah border crossing within 10 days. Israel, however, expressed concerns that such move will ease the flow of weapons into the Gaza Strip, while allowing fluid access to militants bent on attacking Israel.

General Sami Hafez Anan, Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces, said that “Israel has no right to intervene in the decision about the Rafah border – it is an Egyptian-Palestinian matter.”

The Obama administration sought on Friday to play down Egypt’s moves, with Jacob Sullivan, director of planning and policy at the State Department, saying that “there had always been movement of people and quantities of humanitarian goods across the border.”

Still, privately, both US and European officials acknowledged that Cairo’s decisions could significantly undercut Washington’s efforts to reignite the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

New Egyptian policy

Israeli analysts see the new Egyptian border policy as part of the new government’s efforts to respond to the Egyptian public’s sympathy with the Palestinians in the Gaza, as well as its desire to break Mubarak’s policy of cooperation with Israel.

This new border policy, on the heels of Egypt’s successful brokerage of the recent Fatah-Hamas reconciliation, has Israeli concerned that Egypt will drift toward Iran’s orbit of influence.

Cairo and Iran both recently announced they were “turning a new leaf” in their diplomatic relations, after more than 30 years without high-level official contact.

Egypt’s ruling military council reaffirmed its commitment to the 1979 Israeli-Egypt peace treaty shortly after it assumed power, but soon after, the foreign ministry began adopting new policies.

Taher Nunu, a Hamas government spokesman in Gaza, said Egypt has gotten “positive signals” regarding the border opening and that “all future progress on Egypt’s part is going to serve the interests of the people of Gaza.”

It is unknown what type of border regime the Egyptians and the Palestinians have reached, but it seems to mark a big departure from a US-brokered border accord between Israel and the Palestinians reached months after the Israeli army withdrew unilaterally from Gaza in 2005.

Nabil Shaath, a Palestinian negotiator, told the Wall Street Journal that the “border deal is still in the works,” adding that the five-year-old agreement “would not play a factor… because it is not in operation because of the Israeli intransigence and the Israeli siege.”

A senior Israeli official said Jerusalem was appealing to the international community to remind the Egyptian government to honor the peace treaty.

“In the past, despite the effort of the government of Egypt to prevent it happening, Hamas was able to build in Gaza a formidable military terrorist machine,” said the Israeli official. “If Egypt ceases trying to prevent that from happening, the threat to Israel will be much greater.”

U.S.: Syria’s deplorable actions warrant strong international response

NOVANEWS

White House slaps sanctions on Syria’s intelligence agency and two relatives of Assad in first concrete steps against Syria violence, in which at least 500 have been killed.

Ed note–again, the hypocrisy on the part of the US is staggering. Where is this “outrage” on the part of the US whenever Israel is engaged in one of her ritual bloodlettings of innocent civilians in Gaza or elsewhere? The US (or any other western country for that matter) lecturing anyone on oppression is like porn king Larry Flynt teaching a seminary class on the value of chastity.

The White House called Friday for Syrian President Bashar Assad to “change course now,” saying his government’s violent crackdown on its people warrants a strong international response.

“In addition to actions that we are taking, the United States believes that Syria’s deplorable actions toward its people warrant a strong international response,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Carney welcomed the decision by the United Nations Human Rights Council to condemn Syria for its crackdown.

Separately, ambassadors from European Union nations discussed a package of possible economic sanctions which could be imposed on Syria to protest its violent crackdown on anti-government protesters.

The U.S on Friday slapped sanctions on Syria’s intelligence agency and two relatives of Assad in Washington’s first concrete steps in response to a bloody crackdown on protests.

Assad, Syria’s long-serving ruler, was not among those targeted under an order signed by President Barack Obama but could be named soon if violence by government forces against democracy protesters continued, a senior U.S. official said.

“The sanctions that were announced today are intended to show the Syrian government that its behavior and actions are going to be held to account,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters after a meeting with Japan’s visiting
foreign minister.

Sanctions for alleged human rights abuses were imposed against Maher al-Assad, Bashar’s brother, and Atif Najib, one of his cousins, together with Syria’s General Intelligence Directorate and its chief.

Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard was also targeted, accused of helping Syria’s crackdown.

The action, details of which were first reported by Reuters, marks a more assertive approach by Washington, which has been criticized by human rights groups for not doing more to curb Assad’s efforts to crush an uprising against his autocratic 11-year rule.

But another U.S. official said the White House is “not ready” to call on Assad to step down — as it has done with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi — because Obama and his aides “do not want to get out in front of the Syrian people.”

The White House said in a statement: “We call on President Assad to change course now, and heed the calls of his own people.”

The sanctions, which include asset freezes and bans on U.S. business dealings for those on the list, build on broader U.S. measures against Syria in place since 2004.

In his executive order, Obama said the Syrian government had committed “human rights abuses, including those related to the repression of the people in Syria, manifested most recently by the use of violence and torture.

A U.S. official said the new sanctions were meant to show that no member of the Syrian leadership was “immune” from being held accountable. “Bashar is very much on our radar and if this continues could be soon to follow,” the official said.

“It puts Syria’s leaders on notice that decisions to kill unarmed civilians have consequences,” said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry.

A Syrian rights group said at least 500 civilians had been killed since the unrest broke out in Deraa on March 18. Authorities dispute the death toll, saying 78 security forces and 70 civilians died in violence they blame on armed groups

  1. And lest we forget the child molester who put ADL on the map!

    I’ve done some research on this to and with the hub bub about the Catholics a couple years back.
    It is real interesting you never heard these cases all over the news. (Scratching his head) I wonder why?

  2. What a list! But the US and European zionist controlled media only reports priests. How can majority of America not see the patterns around them?. Or maybe they do but they just bear it.

  3. Gary says:

    Why don’t you make a list of Muslim Child Molester imams that gets no media coverage and how Muslim homosexual paedophiles are undisturbed? You will find that the list is a lot longer.

  4. Malachi Martin in 70s,80s, 90s indicated that catholic church was INTENTIONALLY infiltrated by homosexual men with intent to ruin it. Today we have Howard Hubbarb in albany, NY; there was weakland in milwaukee; there are suspicious things in rochester, NY and other areas of new yourk. There was Cardinal Roger Mahoney in Los angeles
    The list of abusers in muslims is also long but in Islamic country how long could a pedophile get away with his sick actions

    remember though that in catholic church-there was intentional infiltration- read on bella dodd and martin

Treason Fest 2011: AIPAC’s Annual Policy Conference May 22-24

Source–http://mantiqaltayr.wordpress.com

1. Hey goys and girls, it’s that time of year again. Yup, it’s time for your so-called representatives in whore House and Senate to engage in the annual bacchanalian/sodomite freak show known as the AIPAC Policy Conference that runs from May 22-24 in downtown  WashingTelAvivton. Oh and this year there is a counter fest being held at the same time, and guess what, it’s being run by Palestinians. Well, actually it isn’t being run by Palestinians. It’s being run by the Vatican. Well, er, no it isn’t.  It’s actually being run by people who are afraid to let Helen Thomas speak. Pretty gutsy.  More on that later. But first let’s get to the ass-kissing and its repercussions for you and your loved ones.

Take a gander at this:

Global Currents – Confronting Radical Islam

From Kabul to Khartoum, London to Lahore, the threat of Islamic radicalism aimed at the United States and its allies is growing. How has the threat evolved since the 9/11 attacks? What can the United States and the West do to confront the global proliferation of Islamist terrorism? This session looks at the options available to policymakers.

The above quote could have come, these days, from almost anywhere. It could have come from Glenn Beck, Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, you name it.  No doubt it will not surprise readers of this website that the quote above is from AIPAC’s pages where it is advertising its upcoming hate conference known euphemistically as the AIPAC Policy Conference.  The Zionist Jews want you to be afraid of Muslims, they want you to hate Muslims, they want you to kill Muslims, they want you to persecute Muslims living in the United States even if they are US loyal US citizens. They have worked hard to create a violently anti-Muslim culture in the United States. That culture is something I’ve documented here for the past two years and many others for much longer have done the same from their own perspectives.

They promote hate and you goys and girls fall for this bullshit every single time. And your sons and daughters then go out and die for this bullshit. They also, not incidentally, kill for this bullshit. In fact, the more they kill for this bullshit the more enemies we make and the more enemies we make the happier ZMIC becomes. (That would be the Zio-Military Industrial Complex).  I also call it the Zio-cycle. More on this in a second.

I’m tired of having people come up to me in daily life talking about the “150 million Muslims who want to kill Americans.”  I mean, if I walk into a coffee shop and sit down with my $35.00 cup of mocha (and no I don’t do this at Star of David Bucks) no sooner do I sit down with my laptop to start another post than hordes of white zombies come running up to me asking me this question. “Oh Mantiq, why do 150 million Mooselims want to kill us?”  The fact is, thanks to our behavior, the number really should be much much higher. But in reality the number is astonishingly small. But this type of question comes up all the time because it is what people read and hear about constantly: that millions of Muslims want to kill them. It’s fed to them day and night. Click here and here for a couple of the funnier examples. Oh, and here too. Hell, you may as well go herehereherehere, and  here. Also, go here. But I digress.

There is a reason American are fed this shit about millions of Muslims.  The larger the number of mindless Muslim zombies (MZBs) the better it is for Israel. Also, the larger the number, the better it is for the Zio-Military-Industrial Complex (ZMIC) to make tons and tons of money all the while controlling stupid dumbass Fox-fed Americans. Wonder why these stupid wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and now Libya seem endless? Because it means money for these people. They don’t give a shit if they bring democracy to these countries or a holocaust. In fact the latter is preferred because it means endless money for them. Remember those missiles we dropped on Libya at about a million a piece? Each time we drop one we then go back to the contractor and order another to replace it. Military people get promoted, their contractor friends make more money, and the icing on the cake is that Muslims die which causes more Muslims to hate us and so they do something and then we kill more of them. It’s the Zio-cycle.

The announcement above, from AIPAC’s website and which is featuring one of its many programs during AIPAC’s hate fest scheduled for May 22-24, is a typical example of what I am talking about.  Let me rewrite this to illustrate my point:

From Lod to Langley, Herziliyya to Huston, Ashqalon to Anchorage, Tel-Aviv to Topeka, the threat of Jewish radicalism aimed at the United States and its allies is growing. How has the threat evolved since the 9/11 attacks? What can the United States and the West do to confront the global proliferation of Jewish terrorism? This session looks at the options available to policymakers.

Wonder how long an organization holding seminars like this would be allowed to lobby on behalf of a foreign power and never even have to register as an agent of a foreign government?

2. They Pray, Therefore They Must Die

Now I want you to read this carefully. The red highlights are mine. The radio conversation shows that the US military personnel involved in the mass murder of a bunch of civilians, men, women and children in the excerpt from the story I am citing below, had a thoroughly bigoted attitude about the people of Afghanistan.  Thoroughly bigoted, totally utterly bigoted. This mass murder was a hate crime.  Since it was a hate crime against Muslims, the ADL has nothing to say.

The US war in Afghanistan is a hate crime. The US war in Iraq is a hate crime. US support of Israel is a hate crime.  And the  source of these hate crimes is the virulently bigoted anti-Islam and anti-Muslim propaganda propagated by the main stream media, by a number of academics, by a whole slew of viciously anti-Islam and anti-Muslim websites, by many members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives, by any number of people in the executive branch of the US government,  by “think tanks” that train US, state and local government and law enforcement agencies, by a considerable number of American “Christian” clerics, and by a huge number of Jews and organizations run by Jews.  At the risk of sounding repetitive: One thread runs through all of these groups: the influence exerted upon them by a huge number of Jews and organizations run by Jews.  The result today is that US popular culture is just as bigoted today, maybe more so, against Muslims as it was against African Americans before (and during) the civil rights movement.

So you dumbasses go out and kill Muslims, and the more you kill the more enemies you make and the more enemies you make the more money they make.

You fight, Muslims (and you) die, they all make money. Nice work if you can get it.

Here’s the Zio-cycle at work:

Nearly three miles above the rugged hills of central Afghanistan, American eyes silently tracked two SUVs and a pickup truck as they snaked down a dirt road in the pre-dawn darkness.

The vehicles, packed with people, were 3 1/2 miles from a dozen U.S. special operations soldiers, who had been dropped into the area hours earlier to root out insurgents. The convoy was closing in on them.

At 6:15 a.m., just before the sun crested the mountains, the convoy halted.

“We have 18 pax [passengers] dismounted and spreading out at this time,” an Air Force pilot said from a cramped control room at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, 7,000 miles away. He was flying a Predator drone remotely using a joystick, watching its live video transmissions from the Afghan sky and radioing his crew and the unit on the ground.

The Afghans unfolded what looked like blankets and kneeled. “They’re praying. They are praying,” said the Predator’s camera operator, seated near the pilot.

By now, the Predator crew was sure that the men were Taliban. “This is definitely it, this is their force,” the cameraman said. “Praying? I mean, seriously, that’s what they do.”

“They’re gonna do something nefarious,” the crew’s intelligence coordinator chimed in.

That’s right, prayer is an indicator of terroristic intent.  But only if it’s Muslims who are praying. How, pray tell, could US military officers and grunts all hold the these views? It is because our culture is permeated with anti Muslim hatred which is literally ingrained in our civil society, our government and our military. See hereherehere, and here to learn about how our government at the state and local levels – to include our police forces is taught hatred against Muslims. Go here to see the utterlydisgusting on-line web presentation by an officer in US military intelligence which is not only filled with falsehoods but is also in part plagiarized. Go here to see an unintentionally funny website by a guy who does comic books about how much Islam sucks. I have been told by civil servants that US government personnel place this cretin’s literature in the hallways of US government buildings. Did you know that Islam is a Vatican conspiracy? But I digress.

Go here and here and here and here to see what psycho’s we have or have had in the US military and what they do to Muslims. Please note that one of those psycho’s is a speaker in one of the links above. In fact, here is that same video but at youtube itself. It’s Senator Allen West of Florida a former nutcase in the military who was rewarded by being elected to be a nutcase in the Senate.  (You might have fun reading this link too, though I do not endorse the thesis, it’s deliciously ironic. )

Where is this all coming from?  You get one guess. (Shas Party members get two, of course.) How is it in your best interests that you are paying for wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and on smaller scales in countless other places many of them against majority Muslim populations? But I digress, let’s get back to killing Muslims.

So what did the drone end up doing?

At 6:22 a.m., the drone pilot radioed an update: “All … are finishing up praying and rallying up near all three vehicles at this time.”

The camera operator watched the men climb back into the vehicles.

“Oh, sweet target,” he said.

And they sure as hell were. The drone took them out about 3 hours later.

By the U.S. count, 15 or 16 men were killed and 12 people were wounded, including a woman and three children. Elders from the Afghans’ home villages said in interviews that 23 had been killed, including two boys, Daoud, 3, and Murtaza, 4.

All of the victims were non-combatants. Every single one.

The Zio-cycle keeps rolling along.

3. So yeah, there’s this alternative thingy to Treason Fest that is being held in WashingTelAvivton  at exactly the same time. Go here to read about them and their activities.  Because some very good people are supporting this alternative conference, such as the folks at the Rachel Corrie Foundation, Grant Smith, John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt and Nadia Hijab, the tuyuur here at Mantiq al-Tayr voted, reluctantly, to support them. The vote was not unanimous. There was much bickering and gnashing of beaks.

The issue we had was that Helen Thomas had been asked to speak at the conference but once this was announced a bunch of people in the “Move Over AIPAC” coalition started bitching and moaning about it and so Ms. Thomas graciously decided not to participate but she did encourage others to join in this effort. She did not want her presence to be a distraction. Well, for me, the people who bitched and moaned about her are the distraction. If people opposing the Zionist stranglehold on this country are afraid of being called names because they invite someone like Helen Thomas to attend their function then they are doomed to fail in not only the short term, but also in the long term because they are allowing the enemy to dictate the terms of the struggle. Until you stupid dumbass American goyim say “enough is enough” you will forever remain subject to the Zio-cycle.

Nonetheless, due the presence of so many good folks of all persuasions attending this event, Mantiq al-Tayr endorses it and might even travel to WashingTelAvivton to attend. Needless to say, I won’t be speaking at the event. :-)

But they have some really interesting workshops and I might pop up at one of them. Their schedule ishere.  Give it a good read. They are busy with all sorts of cool things Saturday and Sunday, the 21st and 22nd. One workshop that looks really extra cool is one that Grant Smith will be at. It’s called: “Exposing AIPAC: Delving into the Nitty-Gritty of How the Israel Lobby Works”.  Could be very informative. Oh, and some guy no one has ever heard of, Jeffrey Blankfort, will also be at that one. :-)

I hope Ms. Thomas shows up anyway.  In case she doesn’t, you can all read her columns at the Fall Church News-Press.

It sure would be nice if Nabil Mansour could be at the counter-AIPAC event I mentioned above. Nabil, is, of course, familiar to readers of Mantiq al-Tayr. Here’s a new one from him. Beautiful, simply beautiful. Get out your Mantiq al-Tayr handkerchiefs for this one.
