The Jews, Israel, and the Middle East

Goodness me!! The kind of language used here would make a goonda look like an angel! Yet Chowk staff ``filters`` it, while providing an option to read it!!! Wah bhai wah! Why can`t they be simply removed?

Looks like a modern-day Nero is presiding over Chowk...fiddling while Chowk burns.

Look what the educated & learned class of Jews say. Rabbis are the Mullahs of Jews--the highest learned men of any society. They are not the Uniformed Langoors, the westernised scum of the colonised bunch who still take immense pride in calling their neighborhoods--what else? COLONIES.

The Ba Ba Black sheep, the tota-mainas, the monkeys & the Langoors from the Bhonkan-house school system & chhachoondars ensconsed in where-the-sun-never-shines of the gora...and crooning:

``This is the colony which I love to live & die
The place is warm`ncomfy; in gora-bum I lie``

Let the show begin

Neturei Karta rabbi to Iran newspaper: Israel will cease to exist

Neturei Karta rabbi to Iran newspaper: Israel will cease to exist

In an interview with official Iranian news agency IRNA, Rabbi David Weiss, of the Neturei Karta movement, said ``Israel was established in the name of Judaism but is impure and Godless. We are sure that it will cease to exist.``

Neturei Karta is a small group of Ultra-Orthodox Jews who reject all forms of Zionism and oppose the existence of that state of Israel. This stems from their belief that Israel can only truly be reestablished with the coming of the Messiah and, subsequently, that any state of Israel prior to this exists in violation of divine will.

Neturei Karta in Iran: Zionists use Holocaust / Roee Nahmias
In statements to Iranian radio, locals, anti-Zionist rabbis circulated their ideas against Israel. ‘We came to Teheran to clarify that Israel does not represent all Jews,` said one of visiting rabbis

Full Story

In an interview with an IRNA journalist, in New York, Rabbi Weiss stated that ``We don`t know how much blood will be shed until the state of Israel will cease to exist, but we pray to the Creator that it will happen with the minimum amount of loss and bloodshed.``

According to Weiss, ``The creation of the state of Israel does not conform to Jewish law and, actually, is contrary to it. Jewish rabbis around the world fear to express their opinions because of the intimidating atmosphere creating by the Zionists.``

Weiss addressed UN Security Council resolution 1701 and said: ``I oppose this decision because it does not touch upon the demands of the Lebanese or Palestinian people.``

``We believe that the day is close at hand when Israel will lose its strength. The Torah says that whatever exists in opposition to divine will cannot continue. As I understand it, things are changing every day and we are sure that Israel will cease to exist.``

`Problem today is Zionism

Weiss discussed Israel`s weakening hand in the war on terror and said: ``In 1967, if you would have said anything about giving away part of the Gaza Strip to Palestinians, people would have killed you. Now we see that, after more than fifty years, Israel is trying to defeat Palestinian resistance, but is not succeeding.``


Regarding the demographic problem, he said that ``The Muslim population in Israel is growing rapidly and, in the upcoming years, most of the state will be Muslim.``


``As long as Olmert and his government are weakening, so much the better, but we would prefer a general revolution in Israel. Olmert expected a miracle but Lebanon showed him the opposite. In the Torah it says that an illegal government of Jews is considered a revolt against God and, therefore, God will not help them,`` he continued.


Weiss was asked what solution he suggests to Muslims, Christians and Jews in order to live in peace and security, side by side. In response, he answered: ``We and the Muslims lived side by side for hundreds of years with no problem. At that time, there was no UN and no human rights. The problem today is not religion, but rather Zionism. Zionism takes advantage of religion and sees all of its opponents as anti-Semitic.``


``The solution is for Muslims to invest primarily in global PR. Muslims must show the world that, in the past, Muslims and Jews lived side by side with no problem.``

The Real Reason the British Should be Frightened
How London`s Terror Scare Looks From Beirut
Beirut.

When my electricity returned at around 3am yesterday, I turned on the BBC World Service television. There were a series of powerful explosions which shook the house--just as they vibrated across all of Beirut--as the latest Israeli air raids blasted over the city. And then up came the World Service headline: ``Terror Plot``. Terror what, I asked myself? And there was my favorite cop, Paul Stephenson, explaining how my favorite police force--the ones who bravely executed an innocent young Brazilian on the Tube, taking 30 seconds to fire six bullets into him--had saved the lives of hundreds of innocent civilians from suicide bombers on airliners.

I`m sure our readers will join me in watching how many of the suspects--or ``British-born Muslims`` as the BBC defined them in its special form of ``soft`` racism (they are surely Muslim Britons or British Muslims, are they not?)--are still in custody in a couple of weeks` time.

And I`m sure it`s quite by chance that the lads in blue chose yesterday--with anger at Lord Blair of Kut al-Amara`s shameful failure over Lebanon at its peak--to save the world. After all, it`s scarcely three years since the other great Terror Plot had British armored vehicles surrounding Heathrow on the very day--again quite by chance, of course--that hundreds of thousands of Britons were demonstrating against Lord Blair`s intended invasion of Iraq.

So I sat on the carpet in my living room and watched all these heavily armed chaps at Heathrow protecting the British people from annihilation and then on came President George Bush to tell us that we were all fighting ``Islamic fascism``. There were more thumps in the darkness across Beirut where an awful lot of people are suffering from terror--although I can assure George W that while the pilots of the aircraft dropping bombs across the city in which I have lived for 30 years may or may not be fascists, they are definitely not Islamic.

And there, of course, was the same old problem. To protect the British people--and the American people--from ``Islamic terror``, we must have lots and lots of heavily armed policemen and soldiers and plainclothes police and endless departments of anti-terrorism, homeland security and other more sordid folk like the American torturers--some of them sadistic women--at Abu Ghraib and Baghram and Guantanamo. Yet the only way to protect ourselves from the real violence which may--and probably will--be visited upon us, is to deal, morally, with courage and with justice, with the tragedy of Lebanon and ``Palestine`` and Iraq and Afghanistan. And this we will not do.

I would, frankly, love to have Paul Stephenson out in Beirut to counter a little terror in my part of the world--Hizbollah terror and Israeli terror. But this, of course, is something that Paul and his lads don`t have the spittle for. It`s one thing to sound off about the alleged iniquities of alleged suspects of an alleged plot to create alleged terror--quite another to deal with the causes of that terror and to do so in the face of great danger.

I was amused to see that Bush--just before my electricity was cut off again--still mendaciously tells us that the ``terrorists`` hate us because of ``our freedoms``. Not because we support the Israelis who have massacred refugee columns, fired into Red Cross ambulances and slaughtered more than 1,000 Lebanese civilians--here indeed are crimes for Paul Stephenson to investigate--but because they hate our ``freedoms``.

And I notice with despair that our journalists again suck on the hind tit of authority, quoting endless (and anonymous) ``security sources`` without once challenging their information or the timing of Paul`s ``terror plot`` discoveries or the nature of the details--somehow, ``fizzy drinks bottles`` doesn`t quite work for me--nor the reasons why, if this whole panjandrum is correct, anyone would want to carry out such atrocities. We are told that the arrested men are Muslims. Now isn`t that interesting? Muslims. This means that many of them--or their families--originally come from south-west Asia and the Middle East, from the area that encompasses Afghanistan, Iraq, ``Palestine`` and Lebanon.

In the old days, chaps like Paul used to pull out a map when faced with folk of different origins or religion or indeed different names. Indeed, if Paul Stephenson takes a school atlas, he`ll notice that there are an awful lot of violent problems and injustice and suffering and--a speciality, it seems, of the Metropolitan Police--of death in the area from which the families of these ``Muslims`` come.

Could there be a connection, I wonder? Dare we look for a motive for the crime, or rather the ``alleged crime``? The Met used to be pretty good at looking for motives. But not, of course, in the ``war on terror``, where--if he really searched for real motives--my favorite policeman would swiftly be back on the beat as Constable Paul Stephenson.

Take yesterday morning. On day 31of the Israeli version of the ``war on terror``--a conflict to which Paul and the lads in blue apparently subscribe by proxy--an Israeli aircraft blew up the only remaining bridge to the Syrian frontier in northern Lebanon, in the mountainous and beautiful Akka district above the Mediterranean. With their usual sensitivity, the pilots who bombed the bridge--no terrorists they, mark you--chose to destroy the bridge when ordinary cars were crossing. So they massacred the 12 civilians who happened to be on the bridge. In the real world, we call that a war crime. Indeed, it`s a crime worthy of the attention of Paul and his lads. But alas, Stephenson`s job is to frighten the British people, not to stop the crimes that are the real reason for the British to be frightened.

Personally, I`m all for arresting criminals, be they of the ``Islamic fascist`` variety or the Bin Laden variety or the Israeli variety--their warriors of the air really should be arrested next time they drop into Heathrow--or the American variety (Abu Ghraib cum laude) and indeed of the kind that blow out the brains of Tube train passengers. But I don`t think Paul Stephenson is. I think he huffs and he puffs but I do not think he stands for law and order. He works for the Ministry of Fear which, by its very nature, is not interested in motives or injustice. And I have to say, watching his performance before the next power cut last night, I thought he was doing a pretty good job for his masters.

@ krishna:

And nonetheless people power backed by UNSC managed to get Syria out of Lebanon.

A protest of upto 1 mln. versus what Hezbollah (200k?) brought onto the streets.

I figure since the term ``Cedar Revolution`` was fashioned by the U.S., they would have had some greater strategy other than Israel ``losing`` to Hezbollah. Were their Lebanese ``vassals`` (i.e those who particpated in the Cedar Revolution) nothing more than lams to the slaughter? The only thing that remains to be seen now is whether the peacekeeping force will do anytihng to Israel`s advantage.

Also, do not mouth everyone else at me.

#160 by mantra

[How? As Syrian influence decreased in Lebanon, that marked the beginnings of decreasing Syrian influence and an opportunity to actually weakening Hezbollah. The hole ``Revolution`` thing even had the whole people power dimension to it. What greater opportunity for a breakthrough could the ``West`` have asked for, short of all their wishes coming true? ]

The ``Revolution`` notwithstanding, the Hezbollah was the real power in Lebanon. They controlled everything to the extent that the Lebanese army was incapable (also unwilling - it is 40% shia) of doing anything to them (by every account) without massive external help. Read up a little. They run South Lebanon, and have a huge army dug in there.

Don`t mouth Lebanese foreign ministry explanations on tv. Siniora is a puppet in Hezbollah`s hands. Everybody knows this but the commies and the muslims who are always friendly to each other except when one of them is in power. Because then, they invariably oppress the other.
