Bamboozled

For some time now there has been an increased use of specific terminology by the Falestinian propagandists, and their trolls residing in foreign countries, accusing Israel of "Genocide" and equating Israel to the atrocities of Nazi Germany?" What ever could be their purpose for using these words over and over again in their propaganda. Why the determination to instill this equalisation by these specific terms into the minds of the western media audience?

Well we have just experienced the truth behind their plan with the recent vote in the European Union and in several European countries to recognize an entity that they themselves refused to establish after the 1947 Partition vote. Realizing their error the Falestinians have embarked on a plan to not only de-legitimize the State of Israel but hey have set in motion a diabolical plan to negate Israel entirely. The proof of this can be seen in a paper written by  Jeremy R. Hammond "The Myth of the U.N. Creation of Israel" where he outlines the Arab viewpoint (excuse) as to why they refused to accept the UN Partition vote.

As I had mentioned in my previous Blog entries, this is not "Just" an occurrence. I believe it to be a calculated scheme of demonization of Israel that derives from the lesson Yasser Arafat and his adjutant, Khalil Ibrahim al-Wazir - Abu Jihad learned while visiting North Viet Nam at the height of the US military's involvement in 1970. 
During their visit to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and his chief strategist, Võ Nguyên Giáp taught Arafat how to manipulate the sympathy of the Liberals in the West, just as they had in the USA. The North Vietnamese together with their KGB affiliates, instructed Arafat to use the hundreds of  Falestinian emigres and students living in Europe and the United States to  mobilize left-wing sympathizers and activists on campuses. These "Bamboozled" left-wing sympathizers and activists have overwhelmingly succeeded in changing the once perceived pro-Israel image of David versus Goliath of college students to that of Israel as an Imperialistic Colonizing power that "Occupies" and mistreats innocent Arabs" as outlined in Yasser Arafat's 1974 UN Speech.

As Khaled Abu Toameh said in his 2009 article; On Campus: The Pro-Palestinians' Real Agenda.  "We have seen in many videos that there is more sympathy for Hamas on many US campuses than there is in Ramallah."  "What is happening on the U.S. campuses is not really about supporting the Falestinians as much as it is about promoting hatred for the Jewish state. It is not really about ending the "occupation" as much as it is about ending the existence of Israel." "The so-called pro-Palestinian "junta" on the campuses has nothing to offer other than hatred and de-legitimization of Israel."

Throughout the world we have seen the videos posted on the social media of anti Israel demonstrations and marches as they gather chanting that Israel is committing "Genocide". Meanwhile they march and chant that Falestinian standard sentence-"From the River to the Sea Falestinia will be free." The hypocrisy behind the meaning of the chant lost on these naive and self duped fools.This statement is a Falestinian call for the ethnic cleansing or "Genocide" -of Israel. As Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar sees it, "Palestine is Islamic, and not an Islamic emirate, from the river to the sea, that unites the Palestinians. Jews have no right in it.”

We have seen more and more use of  Nazi imagery on the social media -in Facebook comments, YouTube videos and Tweeter. In demonstrations throughout the world wherever the pro-Falestinian HOIZ (Haters Of Israel and Zionism) and their anarchist trolls gather they hysterically scream out in rage Israeli's "ZioNazis". We can see and hear them chanting together as they strut down the streets of major cities in Europe and the USA. Few know that our "Peace Partner" Abbas graduated from that ostentatious institute of KGB terrorist indoctrination and training the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. Abbas earned the Soviet equivalent of a PhD with a doctoral dissertation entitled;"The Other Side: the Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism".

Through the use of "Falestinian" photojournalist, manipulation of foreign new journalists and the flagrant lies and distortions of truth in the antics termed as "Pallywood". The "Falestinian" propagandists have masterminded gruesome scenes and images of dead children many times to equate Israelis to bestial "Nazi" murderers. "Falestinian propagandists" have sought through the use of fictional Pallywood provocations and incidents, widely covered by their own photojournalists; who work with large media companies to create sensational stories to influence the Western media audience. The media, wanting advertisement revenues, readily believe the "incidents" filmed by their "Falesinian"photojournalists. I highly recommend that you read more about this media manipulation in an essay Matti Friedman wrote for the Jewish online magazine Tablet: "An Insider’s Guide to the Most Important Story on Earth" 

"Falestinian" photojournalists, that worked with Hamas cynically used the images of the local residents as "Human Shields" during the latest Israeli Operation "Protective Shield"to achieve their desired effect to equate the IDF and the Jews of Israel in the eyes of the naive and  uneducated world as cold blooded "genocidal" murderers and as usurpers of the "native" Arab population.
Canadian columnist Paul Schneidereit once wrote,

"[...] we've seen cases where the bodies of Palestinian martyrs carried on stretchers are inadvertently dropped, then, of their own volition, climb back on again. We’ve seen reports of massacres, as in Jenin in 2002, that turned out, after independent investigation, to have been greatly exaggerated. Needless to say, such episodes don’t instill an abiding trust in subsequent Palestinian claims, at least until they’re verified."

Pro-Falestinian propagandists  have consistently manipulated scenes to make the naive audiences of the Western press believe that Israel has imposed a draconian "Blockade" on the "innocent" civilians of the "Gaza Strip". The "Falestinian" photojournalists and their foreign press counterparts cynically use the view of the border crossings necessitated by the terrorist actions together with the border fence to give the appearance of a "Blockade."
The footage of tons of materials flowing daily into Gaza and the pictures of marketplaces full of food and new malls are blithely ignored. Nary a word is mentioned to remind the younger members of the world audience about the forced removal of Israeli citizens who had settled the land and farmed it peacefully until 2005.

Any story regarding the truth for the Israeli limitations on imports, and the Israeli Naval presence is to prevent the full scale arming of the Hamas, is ignored or brushed aside as lies. Even with the photographic proof and documentation from several ships bound to Gaza with deadly loads of weaponry hidden in supposedly innocent cargoes mean for one purpose to kill and maim Israeli civilians. Here are three prime examples of why Israel has imposed a strict blockade on Gaza:
In 2003, Israeli commandos in Operation "Noah's Ark"  intercepted the Karine A in the Red Sea, and seized 50 tons of missiles, mortars, rifles and ammunition which it said were destined for Gaza.
In 2009, the Israeli navy intercepted the Iranian vessel MV Francop off the coast of Cyprus, carrying hundreds of tons of weapons.
In March 2011  a military operation conducted by the Israeli Navy code name Operation Iron Law intercepted the German-owned, Liberian-flagged vessel Victoria on the high seas. On board were concealed approximately 50 tons of weapons, including C-704 anti-ship missiles, rocket launchers, radar systems, mortar shells and rifle ammunition.

What has been forgotten by the world media is that in 2006 when Israel arrested  Fuad Shubaki, an Arafat aide who was in charge of finances in the PA and, as such the mastermind behind the smuggling attempts. He told the Israelis that the "Falestinian Authority" usually spent between $7 and $10 million was every two years to purchase arms for the Gaza Strip. Additionally another $2 million was spent on weapons for the West Bank. According to Shubaki the money came mainly from EU and USA international aid to the PA. Just like in the recent misappropriations of millions in EU and US funds and supplies of building materials sent over the past years to Gaza to "rebuild" the sanitary facilities and infrastructure by Hama used in the construction of tunnels to attack Israel by.

The story behind of the lost the election by the Fatah movement of the "Falestinian Authority" to the Hamas terrorist group in 2007 who took over in a ruthless and deadly fratricidal act has been all but forgotten in the obsession to de-legitimize Israel. Instead of attempting to live in peace as hoped. Hamas turned the Gaza Strip into a base for countless terrorist attacks against he Israeli civilian population mainly in the form of deadly rocket attacks.

We have also been exposed to countless libelous news reports where these propagandists have created a fable that Gaza or the areas of the "West Bank" are open air 'concentration camps" further strengthening this view of equating Israel to Nazi Germany. I believe that the reason for this labeling of Israel as a country committing "Genocide", together with the sick massive pro-Falestinian and their lackeys attempt to associate Israel with the Nazi regime in Germany committing a "Holocaust", resides in the wording of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Pro-Falestinian propagandists and their lobby of bamboozled Western Libertards have labored to link Israel with  the language of "occupation" because it appears, in the Fourth Geneva Convention. Through the use of the term “occupied territory,”it has allowed the Pro-Falestinian propagandists to obfuscate historical facts and truth  as they have tried for years to negate Israel's very existence in the world. They found that the Fourth Geneva Convention can only be used against Israel's right to exist if they can equate Israel with the Nazi occupation of Europe.

So in order to create a connection to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and to form a legal basis for implementing the Fourth Geneva Convention. The pro-Falestinian propagandists and their trolls have brainwashed the world with the terms: Occupation, ZioNazis and Genocide. This brainwashing or if you prefer Dr Carl Sagan's term "Bamboozled" has allowed for the reversal of the image of the causality of the conflict, especially in front of Western audiences from that of the pre-1967 image of Israel to that of the poor deprived "Falestinians" of Pallywood fame.

A leading authority on the Law of Nations, Professor Julius Stone, once had categorically rejected the use of the term “occupied territory” to describe the territories controlled by Israel on the following counts:
(1) Article 49 relates to the invasion of sovereign states and is inapplicable because the West Bank did not and does not belong to any other state.
(2) The drafting history of Article 49 [Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War] – that is, preventing “genocidal objectives” must be taken into account. And according to Professor Julius Stone those conditions do not exist in Israel’s case.

(3) The settlement of Jews in the West Bank is voluntary and does not displace local inhabitants.(In actuality most of the "settlement" of the Jews in Judea and Shomron- aka the "West Bank" has been to those areas that were once inhabited by Jews prior to the "Partion" in 1948 that were ethnically cleansed of Jews residents.)

These three points have been a sore that has festered in the Falestinian camp and has galvanized them and their trolls into action in their, as I call it "Negation of Israel Plan".

Through their manipulation of the world press the pro-Falestinian propagandists have succeeded to label the ethnically cleansed Israeli residents of the re-established pre-1948 Jewish communities in Gush Etzion of which the four main villages were: Kfar Etzion, Massu'ot Yitzhak,Ein Tzurim and Revadim of Judea and the Old Quarter in Jerusalem as "occupiers" and as "settlers". The "Falestinians" have even gone so far as to brand  ALL Jewish residents of Israel, on both sides of the 1949 Rhodes Armistice "Green Line" not only as "occupiers" and as "settlers" but as "usurpers".

Few are aware of the actual historical fact that the Jewish communities that existed in the "West Bank" and Gaza Strip prior to 1919 and were recognized as legitimate by the Mandate for Palestine, which was adopted by the League of Nations. Even fewer are aware to the fact that the only administration that completely prohibited Jewish communities from existing in the territories, situated between the 1949 “Green Line”or  “Armistice Line” and the former eastern boundary of Palestine under the Mandate, was Trans-Jordan (Jordan). Who conquered and "Occupied" the area from 1948 -1967.  No mention is ever given by the pro-Falestinians to the fact that King Abdullah of Jordan did not offer to allow the "Arabs of the Mandated Area" to establishment an independent "Falestinian" entity as they were entitled to do so under the "Partition" vote of UNR181. Instead King Abdullah of Jordan attempted to annex the area but his attempts to do so were never recognized by any country. In relation to the Jordanian 19 year occupation the International Court of Justice noted:

“...under customary international law as reflected (...) in Article 42 of the Regulations Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land annexed to the Fourth Hague Convention of 18 October 1907 (hereinafter “the Hague Regulations of 1907”), territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army, and the occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised.”

The Fourth Geneva Convention was found to be not applicable to the West Bank and 
Gaza Strip, since, under its Article 2, it pertains only to "cases of…occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party" by another High Contracting party. (The representatives of states who have signed or ratified a treaty. .. the signatories) Territories are only "occupied" if they are captured in war from an established and recognized sovereign, but no state had a legitimate or recognized sovereignty over the West Bank, Gaza Strip or East Jerusalem prior to the Six-Day War. 
Therefore in all intents and purposes under International Law the area became terra nullius or "land belonging to no one". The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and Israeli government websites support the view that the territories are not occupied.  Since they argue that use of the term "occupied" in relation to Israel's control of the areas has no basis in International law or history, and that it prejudges the outcome of negotiations.  So Israel in reality “liberated” this area in a defensive war in 1967.

It is worthy to note here that United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 calls for "secure and recognized boundaries", yet no borders have been established or recognized by the parties. Armistice lines do not establish borders, and the 1949 Armistice Agreements in particular specifically stated (at Arab insistence) that they were not creating permanent or de jure borders.

Furthermore in respect to Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention the Israeli government has not  forcibly transferred its population into the territories. The land that was being resettled and reclaimed never had been under the legitimate sovereignty of any state beforehand. What everyone is ignoring in relation to Article 49 is the fact that according to the League of Nations resolution for the establishment of the Mandate for Palestine, the area of Judea and Shomron had been recognized as a cestui sue trust  for the Jewish Homeland in April, 1922 in the Treaty of Sèvres (Section VII, Art 94-97) by 52 countries at the San Remo Conference which granted the Palestine Mandate to Britain. The League of Nations officially granted Britain the Palestine Mandate on July 24, 1922.

There are no clauses in the Fourth Geneva Convention that can be used to prohibit the voluntary return of individuals to towns and villages from which they or their ancestors had been previously ejected by forcible means.

ARTICLE 49 The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Article 8(2)(b)(viii) of the International Criminal Court Rome Statute defines "[t]he transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies" as a war crime. (*) This should be read only in the context of the World War II forcible migrations. It is only intended to cover forcible transfers and to protect the local population from displacement and not voluntary movement.

According to the argument, the "last legal sovereignty over the territories was that of the League of Nations Palestine Mandate, which stipulated the right of the Jewish people to settle in the whole of the Mandated territory. According to Article 6 of the Mandate, "close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands not required for public use" was to be encouraged."

However under Article 25 it allowed the League Council to temporarily postpone the Jewish right to settle (only) in what is now Jordan, if conditions were not amenable.

"Article 80 of the U.N. Charter preserved this Jewish right to settlement by specifying, "nothing in the [United Nations] Charter shall be construed ... to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or peoples or the terms of existing international instruments."

Shamgar further stated:

"There is no rule of international law according to which the Fourth Convention applies in each and every armed conflict whatever the status of the parties.... The whole idea of the restriction of military government powers is based on the assumption that there has been a sovereign who was ousted and that he was a legitimate sovereign."
The Israeli legal argument was dismissed by the International Court of Justice. The Court cited the Geneva Convention's travaux préparatoires, which recommended that the conventions be applicable to any armed conflict "whether [it] is or is not recognized as a state of war by the parties" and "in cases of occupation of territories in the absence of any state of war" as confirmation that the drafters of the article had no intention of restricting the scope of its application"

"High Contracting Parties"

Historically the area in question was called the "West Bank"  by members of the British Foreign Office to avoid the use of the name Judea and Shomron so as to negate Jewish rights to the area. 

The area of Judea and Shomron was part of the Ottoman Empire known as the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem or as the Sanjak of Jerusalem from 1299 until 1918. Later the area was under the British as part of  the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA South) established between 1918 to 1920 and after that with the Treaty of Sèvres (Section VII, Art 94-97) it became the Mandate for Palestine. 
This part of the Mandate for Palestine designated as part of the future Arab State in the November 29th, 1947 Partition vote (UNR181) was conquered and held by the Kingdom of Trans-Jordan from 1948 until 1967, who attempted to annex the area. Due to inter-sectarian violence and rivalries it was never controlled by an Independent Arab entity ruled by and for the Arabs of the Mandated areas.

Therefore by legal definition the "West Bank" and Gaza Strip have never been the legal territories of any High Contracting Party.

Thus, the current territorial dispute is allegedly the result of an Israeli decision "to resettle" -to allow Israeli citizens the right to reside, in land that was once part of the Mandate for Palestine area rather than a result of a war imposed on Israel by a coalition of Arab states in 1967.

Former State Department Legal Advisor Stephen Schwebel, who later headed the International Court of Justice in the Hague, wrote in 1970 regarding Israel's case:

 "Where the prior holder of territory ( Jordan) had seized that territory unlawfully, the state which subsequently takes that territory in the lawful exercise of self-defense has, against that prior holder, better title."

On the application of the fourth Geneva Convention, the Court noted:

"...for the purpose of determining the scope of application of the Fourth Geneva Convention, it should be recalled that under common Article 2 of the four Conventions of 12 August 1949"

“In addition to the provisions which shall be implemented in peacetime, the present Convention shall apply to all cases of declared war or of any other armed conflict which may arise between two or more of the High Contracting Parties, even if the state of war is not recognized by one of them."

The Convention shall also apply to all cases of partial or total occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party, even if the said occupation meets with no armed resistance."

(...) the Court notes that, according to the first paragraph of Article 2 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, that Convention is applicable when two conditions are fulfilled:

• that there exists an armed conflict (whether or not a state of war has been recognized);
• and that the conflict has arisen between two contracting parties. (...)

The object of the second paragraph of Article 2 is not to restrict the scope of application of the Convention, as defined by the first paragraph, by excluding there from territories not falling under the sovereignty of one of the contracting parties. It is directed simply to making it clear that, even if occupation effected during the conflict met no armed resistance, the Convention is still applicable.

In 1971  Israeli Attorney-General, Meir Shamgar stated in his interpretation that: "The Convention did not pertain to the territories captured by Israel since they had not previously been recognized as part of a sovereign state and could not be considered "the territory of a High Contracting Party".

Therefore even if the Fourth Geneva Convention had applied at one point, they certainly did not apply once Israel transferred governmental powers to the Palestinian Authority in accordance with the 1993 Oslo Accords, since Article 6 of the convention states that the Occupying Power would only be bound to its terms "to the extent that such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory....".

In 2005 Israel decided to dismantle all Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip and four in the northern West Bank. historian and journalist, Gershom Gorenberg noted that the Likud led Israeli government under Arik Sharon's decision was challenged in the Supreme Court by "settlers", and the government won the case by noting the "settlements" were in territory whose legal status was that of 'belligerent territory'. The government argued that the settlers should have known the settlements were only temporary. 

From Falestine with Love to Ferguson

When the wave of hate violence enveloped Ferguson Missouri. Falestinian Activists and their advocates leaped full stride with glee aboard the tidal wave of Afro-American outrage in the #BlackLivesMatter Hashtag over the heavy-handed paramilitary police tactics being used in Ferguson Missouri. 

These pro-Falestinian Activists and their advocates "milked" the terrible incident to gain as much anti-Israel hatred they could. 

They turned immediately to the utilize the naivete of the viewers and readers of social media to associate and pin the Missouri police behavior directly on the Jewish state’s undue “influence on U.S. law enforcement” and “the troubling implications of emulating an apartheid regime actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and war crimes.”

When you just look at the sensationalist photos from Ferguson,the comparisons made by Falestinian Activists and their advocates to the recent rioting in Israel were inevitable. 

For just as the Falestinian photojournalist used by all the major news companies vie to sale their works to editors. These photojournalists and news media, in the USA, show police suited in combat gear equipped with tear gas in military-style poses appearing to use disproportionate force against crowds of hapless civilian protesters.

Through the manipulation of the "visual comparison" and the purposed wording of the narrative in the art of dezinformatsiya to subliminally draw the reader to the "comparative conclusion". Naive “least knowledgeable” readers were not aware that the widespread militarization on display in Ferguson had absolutely nothing to do with Israel as the Falestians and their advocates wanted like you to think.

 

Instead it is part of a more recent trend that began three decades ago with the introduction of the “war on drugs” and escalated with the “war on terror”. 

The counterinsurgency-like tactics deployed against the people of Ferguson by civilian police officers more closely resemble combat soldiers in Afghanistan than domestic cops. 

This cop-to-soldier transformation was facilitated by the US government through mechanisms like the Pentagon’s 1033 or military surplus program, which funneled excess military gear to law enforcement agencies across the country. 

The program’s motto was: ”From warfighter to crimefighter.”

In 2013 alone, the program showered US police departments with nearly $450 million worth of surplus military equipment.

St. Louis County law enforcement agencies, including the Ferguson Police Department, actively  participated in this "freebie give away" program, though it was unclear if the equipment was first used in Ferguson.

Ferguson police also receive money from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as part of a grant program to US law enforcement agencies to purchase military-style equipment.

Rania Khalek, who is a devoted promoter of any and all anti-Israel campaigns, and a perfect example of the bigotry and anti-Jewish / blatant anti-Israel that is so pervasive in the BDS movement. Has taken the lead in espousing the linkage between Ferguson and “Falestine” in her recent article,“Israel-trained police “occupy” Missouri after killing of black youth.”

In her article she writes:

“Since the killing of eighteen-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson police in Missouri last weekend, the people of Ferguson have been subjected to a military-style crackdown by a squadron of local police departments dressed like combat soldiers. This has prompted residents to liken the conditions on the ground in Ferguson to the Israeli military occupation of Palestine.”

Rania Khalek goes on to state: 

“At least two of the four law enforcement agencies that were deployed in Ferguson up until Thursday evening — the St. Louis County Police Department and the St. Louis Police Department — received training from Israeli security forces in recent years.”

These Falestinian “Activists” –read “Liars” and their advocates reported that the Police in Ferguson implemented;“despotic tactics Palestinians largely associate with Israel’s“colonial” (reference to occupation sic) military, such as tear gassing protesters and harassing journalists”

They further fanned the flames of hatred by outright and blatant lies by insinuating that; “Unsurprisingly, many of the police deployed to crush unarmed protesters demanding justice for the brutal murder of eighteen-year-old black American Mike Brown are Israel-trained.”

In line with the vicious lies and accusations, a student organization called “NU Divest” from Northwestern University produced a highly inflammatory video—obviously intended to implicate Israel in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner—included this testimonial:

“I support NU Divest because the New York and the St.Louis police department were both trained by the Israeli military. If black lives matter, then Palestinian lives must also.”

And yes, ad nauseum as usual, the lie goes on because few take the time to verify the truth of what these habitual liars say. 

I was puzzled as to where the highly anti-Zionist / Isarel "International Solidarity Movement" (ISM) and the pro-Falestinians were getting the link between "supposed Israeli training" and the Missouri police. 

In my research I came across a very hideous YouTube video by a weirdo by the name of Alex Jones of "infowars.com" who has this link to Press TV, which is an Iranian Government sponsored news channel. 

His broadcasts appear to be based on the teachings of William Luther Pierce III who was a prominent American white nationalist. Pierce was one of the most influential ideologues of the white nationalist movement for some 30 years before his death. Jones espouses comments which are from David Dukes who was a former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,as well. 

The links to the video stem from a real sicko by the name of John Todd who is pushing some really disgustingly sick Satanic highly anti-Jewish innuendos and conspiracy theories, that to say the least are off the scale in their level of hatred. No wonder about that though since on the Wikipedia page it states:

"Army medical reports referred to Todd suffering from; "emotional instability with pseudologica phantastica" (compulsive lying), difficulty in telling reality from fantasy, homicidal threats he had made on another, false suicide reports, and a severe personality disturbance.

The real truth of the matter is it is highly doubtful that after two short trips to Israel, takenin 2008 and 2011 by two Missouri officials, had anything to do with the shaping the culture of Missouri law enforcement. 

During the 2008 visit, a former St. Louis police chief attended a conference aimed at helping the U.S. prevent and react to terrorism under the auspices of the International Law Enforcement Exchange Program.

During the 2011 visit, the then St. Louis County Police Department chief Timothy Fitch attended a week-long Israeli training camp from Israeli Police and Border Police which was sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League. 

Furthermore these Falestinian “Activists” –read “Liars” and their advocates took to the social media mainly, Twitter and Facebook, to share photos of pro-Falestinian banners carried by protesters. 

One such banner declared, “From Ferguson to Palestine, Occupation is a Crime.” 

Hmm, an American city is under "Occupation"? 

Wait did I miss an invasion like the fictional ones portrayed in Hollywood films like "Red Dawn"? 

Who is Occupying Ferguson Missouri? It was a border state in the Civil War and the Confederacy is long gone...so WHO? Is occupying Ferguson?

Another Facebook posting shared by NFL Detroit Lions player Reggie Bush whose poster reads;

“essentially, that Brown’s killing and the wars in Gaza are connected by “colonialism” and “racism,” and that anyone who objects to this characterization is necessarily a racist.”

Ah yes Reggie, ye old colonialism and Israel = Apartheid Lie eh?

And furthermore according to Rania Khalek;

"as the situation Ferguson spiraled further out of control, Falestinians began tweeting advice on dealing with tear gas to the people of Ferguson."

Even then there were replies to Ms Bargouti  -who Tweeted her advice -see picture-, that were not in the spirit of universal love between the Haters Of Israel.

Ms Rania Khalek makes references to these Instagram photographs in an attempt to link the incident of the riots in Ferguson to the “similarities” of Israel:

“The dystopian scenes of paramilitary units in camouflage rampaging through the streets of Ferguson, pointing assault rifles at unarmed residents and launching tear gas into people’s front yards from behind armored personnel carriers (APCs), could easily be mistaken for a Tuesday afternoon in the occupied West Bank.”

I had mentioned in one of my previous Blog entries of Arafat’s infamous UN speech where he equated Zionism with racism that this has become the central theme in this massive anti-Israel /Zionism campaign of equating Israel and Zionism with “Imperialistic Occupation”.

Here is a photo of Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver, Hewey Newton and the PLO's Yasser Arafat in Algeria 1970.

Cleaver later became pro-Zionistic after living 7 years among communists in Cuba and Arabs in Algeria, and learning the truth about Israel and the Jewish people. -Dumisani Washington.

So what do the pro Falestinian Activists and their advocates do? 

They pull out the old Israel = Occupation line. Here we see them marching in a demonstration in Seattle with a banner emblazoned with the words: “Occupation is a Crime / Ferguson to Palestine / Resist U.S. racism / Boycott Israel”,

They continue the lie by insinuating that Israel had trained the Ferguson police. Therefore because of this “Israeli” training it had led to Brown’s death!

Meanwhile not to be out done by the bored - horde of Libertards in other parts of America the Falestinian Activists and their advocates in Oakland California, block a busy intersection in downtown, with a banner reading, “Missouri, Palestine, Justice Now!” Okay....

The supposed hypothetical link(?) between “Ferguson-Palestine” has been pushed in their usual feast of rapture by left-wing activists ever since that fatal shooting of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014. 

Just how the fatal shooting of an Afro-American who was fatally shot by a Police officer in Missouri has any link to the supposed status of the "Falestinians" is well in the least a truly astounding piece of contortion of facts.

It reminds me of the rantings and ravings -frothing at the mouth lunatic hatred - by the "famous" author Alice Walker of the novel The Color Purple, which we all may remember was was made into a movie by no less than Steven Spielberg.

So since her days of friendship with Steven, Alice Walker has crossed the line in her over the edge complete meltdown in her virulent hatred of all things associated with Israel. She went from plain fervent anti-Zionist to rabid anti-Semitism. She denied that she is an anti-Semite unaware of the meaning and source of the term she like many others fall for the Falestinians -read Arabs -interpretation that THEY are Semites too! (Facepalm applied!)

The question remains why anyone would take her ludicrously ignorant rants about the Israeli-Falestinian conflict seriously? 

 Alan Dershowitz spoke about the insanity of Walker's total negation and hatred of Israel and Jews in his article, "Alice Walker's crass bigotry exposed" here are a few gems of his observation of my candidate for the Looney Tunes Alice Walker totally "Off the wall" assumptions:

• According to Walker, Rachel "aka Pancake" Corrie was “murdered,” just like three civil rights workers who were kidnapped, tortured and murdered in cold blood.
• According to Walker, there are roads that are for “Jews only,” rather than for Israelis of all religions and ethnicities.
• According to Walker, the big ugly security wall runs all through Israel and the Palestinian territories - “it is everywhere” - rather than through roughly 5% of those areas. Moreover, she suggests that the wall was put up solely to colonize the "West Bank", and not to protect Israelis from terrorism.
• According to Walker, the Turkish flotilla terrorists who attacked the Israeli sailors who had boarded their ship were “assassinated” and “massacre[d].”
• According to Walker, no rockets were ever fired at Israeli civilians from Gaza and Israel’s attacks against Gaza were unprovoked and constitute “genocide.”
• According to Walker, there has never been a more brutal occupation in the history of the world. According to Walker, what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is the equivalent of what Hitler did to the Jews. According to Walker (as quoted by the Wiesenthal Center) Israel may someday launch a nuclear attack against the United States, "because the United States and Israel, working together have done terrible things to others [and] it is the nature of thieves to eventually have a grand falling out."

Rana Baker, "a master’s degree student of Migration and Diaspora Studies at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies", wrote an article published on the highly anti-Israel / Zionist rabidly anti-Semitic "Electronic Intifada" website entitled; "Palestinians express “solidarity with the people of Ferguson” 

In her short article she states that "Falestinian" groups and individuals inside and outside of historic "Falestine" have signed the following statement in solidarity with their brethren in Ferguson, Missouri:

“Full statement:
We the undersigned Palestinian individuals and groups express our solidarity with the family of Michael Brown, a young unarmed black man gunned down by police on August 9th in Ferguson, Missouri. We wish to express our support and solidarity with the people of Ferguson who have taken their struggle to the street, facing a militarized police occupation
From all factions and sectors of our dislocated society, we send you our commitment to stand with you in your hour of pain and time of struggle against the oppression that continues to target our black brothers and sisters in nearly every aspect of their lives .
We understand your moral outrage. We empathize with your hurt and anger. We understand the impulse to rebel against the infrastructure of a racist capitalist system that systematically pushes you to the margins of humanity.
And we stand with you.
We recognize the disregard and disrespect for black bodies and black life endemic to the supremacist system that rules the land with wanton brutality . Your struggles through the ages have been an inspiration to us as we fight our own battles for basic human dignities. We continue to find inspiration and strength from your struggles through the ages and your revolutionary leaders, like Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Kwame Ture, Angela Davis, Fred Hampton, Bobby Seale and others.
We honor the life of Michael Brown, cut short less than a week before he was due to begin university. And we honor the far too many more killed in similar circumstances, motivated by racism and contempt for black life: Ezell Ford, John Crawford, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Tarika Wilson, Malcolm Ferguson, Renisha McBride, Amadou Diallo, Yvette Smith, Oscar Grant, Sean Bell,Kathryn Johnston, Rekia Boyd and too many others to count.

With a Black Power fist in the air, we salute the people of Ferguson and join in your demands for justice."

In her short article (rant) Rana Baker attempts to make multiple insinuations and comparisons to link the righteousness of the “Falestinians” to that of the Blacks in America. 

Baker states: 

"Although Ferguson and Palestine are two different contexts, both places and their people are fighting against white supremacist regimes(!)of oppression which continue to view them as “disposable others” and act accordingly.”

Ms Baker goes on to clarify;

“…that it is the moral responsibility of every Palestinian to support and foster relations with the struggles of the oppressed all over the world.”

Well this is exactly what the KGB Active Measures Plan fostered among the revolutionary groups throughout the world during the Cold War. They invited many young revolutionaries to come and study and become indoctrinated at The Peoples' Friendship University of Russia in Moscow. 

The "University" served as a base of indoctrination and training of potential “freedom fighters” from the Third World. More specialized training in terrorism was provided at locations in Baku, Odessa, Simferopol, and Tashkent. The illustrious alumni include Mahmoud Abbas, the highly infamous Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, also known as Carlos the Jackal, Anna Vasil'yevna Chapman and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Hmm, so now upon reading the words of this "master’s degree student Rana Baker, I could not help but notice the catch phrases of the Anarchist movement, which are synonymous to those used by the members of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), the purveyors of the BDS -Boycott Divest Sanction Haters of Israel and Zionism fan group.

Let us look closer at these "catch" phrases to understand just how these "Anarchists" are attempt to cause an even greater threat to American society.
The phrases we see in MS Baker's article show incitement to commit further violence:

• facing a militarized police occupation
• struggle against the oppression
• a racist capitalist system
• rules the land with wanton brutality
• killed in similar circumstances

So my question here is; 

"What is Homeland Security and President Obama doing to outlaw the ISM and their Pro-Falestinian agitators?" 

Clearly there is incitement to commit acts of treason and threaten lives?

Now among the signers of the statement is Diana Buttu, a palestinian-Canadian lawyer and a former spokesperson for the "Palestine Liberation Organization", which was funded to the tune of ( un accounted as per my Meme) $441 million (Your hard earned US Tax dollar at work) by the U.S. government in 2013.

Ms Baker continues in her article:

It is also worth noting that the Palestinian struggle for freedom is not a copy of the struggle of our black brothers and sisters both in the past and present. Neither is the black struggle a homogeneous one. 

Finally, the struggle of our black brethren is not a simple tool to “popularize” ours.

But the Civil Rights, anti-apartheid and anti-colonial movements in the United States, South Africa and foreign colonies across the African continent in the past offer us various models from which we should learn.

In the present, Palestinians (though this does not apply to sell-outs such as Mahmoud Abbas and his minions) stand up against the despotism which the US , the settler-colony known as

Israel , and various European and Arab governments embody."

It’s hard to exaggerate the gut-level loathing that we proud Jewish-Israelis, who are hardened Zionists, have for the the relentless demonization of Israel by the Falestinians and their myopic ignorant trolls and bamboozled minions.

These Haters of Israel and Zionism, in their incessant campaign of abject blind hatred, have consistently failed to dislodge the truth and historical facts, so they resort to throwing tantrums and labeling Israel as a racist, apartheid state. 

Here is a video of a speech by Martin Luther King  speaking out about bigotry towards Jews and Catholics. Not about Israel or Zionism, but when people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews and they are talking anti-Semitism!

"I would still take a stand against anti-Semitism because it is wrong, it's unjust and it's evil!" MLK

It is totally enraging to see the delusional ignorant trolls who are eager and ready to vilify something that you stood for personally and venerated as a youth, our Jewish stand for Civil Rights in America. 

Here is a very important and enlightening video response by Dumisani Washington to those who would divide the honored position that we Jews had in our relations with the Black community in America.

"The "Black for Palestine" movement dates back almost to the independence of the Jewish State. By the 1960's, the PLO's Yasser Arafat had reached out to militants like Black Panther, Eldridge Cleaver, and convinced them to "stand in solidarity with their Arab brothers against the evil, European imperialist Zionists." The entire narrative was built on lies and distortions (the majority of Jews who inhabited or returned to Israel were of Middle Eastern descent), and sought to hide the fact that Arab invaders had not only stolen North Africa and the Middle East, but were/are still enslaving Africans to this day.
This movement has always been, and will continue to be fringe. It has never been taken seriously by any significant portion of the African-American community.

To date some 1,100 (supposedly) Black "activists" have signed the "Black for Palestine" petition that was launched last week. That number is .0024% of the Black population in America -- not even counting Africans on the Continent and in the Diaspora. Fringe.
So, with all due respect to Dr. Cornel West, Talib Kweli, and groups like the UCLA Afrikan Student Union, your views on this matter are wrong and shameful. You're standing in solidarity with people who have subjugated Africans for 1,400 years and counting. As a result, you have made yourselves irrelevant." Dumisani Washington IBSI - Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel

And of course, ad nauseum, all this came just when we thought there might be one problem in the entire world that we Jews or Israel could not be blamed for by those who just love to hate and despise us do.

A Chance of a Peace Lost

Just think what could have been in our region if; "the educated among us" as was explained simply by his Royal Highness Prince Faisal Husseini, king of Syria and Iraq in his letter of  March 3,1919 to Felix Frankfurter had taken steps to cease the hatred and allow the Jews the promised homeland so long denied us.

Faisal had stated to  Frankfurter and Weizmann that there "is room in Syria for us both".

He did not claim that there was on place for the Jews as is claimed today. 

He even admitted to the importance of educating those; "People less informed and less responsible than our leaders and yours," who are "ignoring the need for co-operation of the Arabs and Zionists" and  "have been trying to exploit the local difficulties".

I truly believe here that Emir Feisal was referring to Syrian Islamic Nationalists like those who taught Amir El Hussanei who were staunch anti-Semites who as he says have "misrepresented your aims to the Arab peasantry". 

Emir Feisal and his "educated followers" attempted to prevent the rivalry and hatred among his fellow arabs while presenting his willingness to live in peace with the early members of the Yishuv.

Introduction: 

During the peace conference following World War I, the Emir Faisal exchanged letters with Justice Felix Frankfurter, professing his support for Zionist aims. In the light of later history and the current characterization of the Zionist movement, it is significant that Faisal wrote:

We are working together for a reformed and revived Near East, and our two movements complete one another. The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist. Our movement is national and not imperialist, and there is room in Syria for us both. Indeed I think that neither can be a real success without the other.

A letter from his His Royal Highness Prince Faisal Husseini, king of Syria and Iraq to Felix Frankfurter, associate of Dr. Chaim Weizmann:

Letter to Felix Frankfurter written by
T. E. Lawrence in the name
of Prince Faisal, March 1919

DELEGATION HEDJAZIENNE,
Paris, March 3, 1919.

DEAR MR. FRANKFURTER: I want to take this opportunity of my first contact with American Zionists to tell you what I have often been able to say to Dr. Weizmann in Arabia and Europe.

We feel that the Arabs and Jews are cousins in having suffered similar oppressions at the hands of powers stronger than themselves, and by a happy coincidence have been able to take the first step towards the attainment of their national ideals together.

We Arabs, especially the educated among us look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement. Our deputation here in Paris is fully acquainted with the proposals submitted yesterday by the Zionist Organization to Peace Conference, and we regard them as moderate proper. We will do our best, in so far as we are concerned, to help them through: we will wish the Jews a most hearty welcome home.

With the chiefs of your movement, especially with Dr. Weizmann, we have had and continue to have the closest relations. He has been a great helper of our cause, and I hope the Arabs may soon be in a position to make the Jews some return for their kindness. We are working together for a reformed and revived Near East, and our two movements complete one another. The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist. Our movement is national and not imperialist, and there is room in Syria for us both. Indeed I think that neither can be a real success without the other.

People less informed and less responsible than our leaders and yours, ignoring the need for co-operation of the Arabs and Zionists have been trying to exploit the local difficulties that must necessarily arise in Palestine in the early stages of our movements. Some of them have, I am afraid, misrepresented your aims to the Arab peasantry, and our aims to the Jewish peasantry, with the result that interested parties have been able to make capital out of what they call our differences.

I wish to give you my firm conviction that these differences are not on questions of principle, but on matters detail such as must inevitably occur in every contact of neighboring peoples, and as are easily adjusted by mutual good will. Indeed nearly all of them will disappear with fuller knowledge.

I look forward, and my people with me look forward, to a future in which we will help you and you will help us, so that the countries in which we are mutually interested may once again take their places in the community of civilized peoples of the world.

Believe me,

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd.) Feisal. 5th MARCH, 1919.

Felix Frankfurter's reply:

ROYAL HIGHNESS:

Allow me, on behalf of the Zionist Organization, to acknowledge your recent letter with deep appreciation.

Those of us who come from the United States have already been gratified by the friendly relations and the active co-operation maintained between you and the Zionist leaders, particularly Dr. Weizmann. We knew it could not be otherwise; we knew that the aspirations of the Arab and the Jewish peoples were parallel, that each aspired to re-establish its nationality in its own homeland, each making its own distinctive contribution to civilization, each seeking its own peaceful mode of life.

The Zionist leaders and the Jewish people for whom they speak have watched with satisfaction the spiritual vigor of the Arab movement. Themselves seeking justice, they are anxious that the just national aims of the Arab people be confirmed and safeguarded by the Peace Conference.

We knew from your acts and your past utterances that the Zionist movement-in other words the national aim of the Jewish people-had your support and the support of the Arab people for whom you speak. These aims are now before the Peace Conference as definite proposals by the Zionist Organization. We are happy indeed that you consider these proposals "moderate and proper," and that we have in you a staunch supporter for their realization. For both the Arab and the Jewish peoples there are difficulties ahead-difficulties that challenge the united statesmanship of Arab and Jewish leaders. For it is no easy task to rebuild two great civilizations that have been suffering oppression and misrule for centuries. We each have our difficulties we shall work out as friends, friends who are animated by similar purposes, seeking a free and full development for the two neighboring peoples. The Arabs and Jews are neighbors in territory; we cannot but live side by side as friends.

Very respectfully,

(Sgd.) Felix Frankfurter.

Agreement between Emir Faisal and Dr. Weizmann

Following the First World War, Emir Faisal, son of Mecca, and the leader of the Arab movement, met in Aqaba with Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the head of the Zionist Commission to Palestine. Later, at the Paris Peace Conference, the two negotiated and signed the following agreement, which spoke of full cooperation in the development of the independent Arab state in present-day Syria and Iraq (as promised by the British to Faisal) and the Jewish home in Palestine (from the Balfour Declaration), and encouraging "the immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale".

Here is the historic agreement negated by the Machiavellian  maneuvers of the French and the British. 

Agreement Between Emir Faisal and Dr. Weizmann

3 January, 1919

His Royal Highness the Emir Faisal, representing and acting on behalf of the Arab Kingdom of Hedjaz, and Dr. Chaim Weizmann, representing and acting on behalf of the Zionist Organization, mindful of the racial kinship and ancient bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people, and realizing that the surest means of working out the consummation of their natural aspirations is through the closest possible collaboration in the development of the Arab State and Palestine, and being desirous further of confirming the good understanding which exists between them, have agreed upon the following:

Articles:

Article I

The Arab State and Palestine in all their relations and undertakings shall be controlled by the most cordial goodwill and understanding and to this end Arab and Jewish duly accredited agents shall be established and maintained in the respective territories.

Article II

Immediately following the completion of the deliberations of the Peace Conference, the definite boundaries between the Arab State and Palestine shall be determined by a Commission to be agreed upon by the parties hereto.

Article III

In the establishment of the Constitution and Administration of Palestine, all such measures shall be adopted as will afford the fullest guarantees for carrying into effect the British Government's Declaration of the 2nd of November, 1917. ( the Balfour Declaration

Article IV

All necessary measures shall be taken to encourage and stimulate immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale, and as quickly as possible to settle Jewish immigrants upon the land through closer settlement and intensive cultivation of the soil. In taking such measures the Arab peasant and tenant farmers shall be protected in their rights and shall be assisted in forwarding their economic development.

Article V

No regulation or law shall be made prohibiting or interfering in any way with the free exercise of religion; and further, the free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination or preference, shall forever be allowed.

Article VIII

The parties hereto agree to act in complete accord and harmony on all matters embraced herein before the Peace Congress.

Article IX

Any matters of dispute which may arise between the contracting parties hall be referred to the British Government for arbitration.

Given under our hand at London, England, the third day of January, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen

Chaim Weizmann Faisal Ibn-Hussein

Regretfully, the agreement of course was not carried out, mostly due to the Machiavellian change in Allied policy regarding the Arab State which Faisal had planned to establish.

Reservation by the Emir Faisal

"If the Arabs are established as I have asked in my manifesto of 4 January, addressed to the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, I will carry out what is written in this agreement. If changes are made, I cannot be answerable for failing to carry out this agreement."

As to the failure of the agreement please refer to the exchange of letters between the Sharif of Mecca, Husayn bin Ali, and Sir Henry McMahon, British High Commissioner in Egypt, from the 14 July 1915 to 30 January 1916 during World War I known as the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence. This was an exchange of letters letters in which the Arabs declared that they would revolt in alliance with the United Kingdom, and in return the UK would recognize Arab independence, concerning the political status of lands under the Ottoman Empire. 

The Arabs did not obtain their independence and the Faisal-Weizmann agreement survived only a few months. The decision of the peace conference itself refused independence for the vast Arab-inhabited lands that Faisal desired, mainly because the British and French had struck their own secret Sykes–Picot Agreement of 1916 dividing the Middle East between their own spheres of influence.

Just think for one moment and consider the impact of how this last part of the statement by Emir Faisal:  "I cannot be answerable for failing to carry out this agreement",  changed history forever and condemned thousands if not a millions people to death and agony! 

One wonders just how many lives would have been saved had the Machiavellian maneuvers of the French and the British had not played out.  

It will take brave and courageous men and women who are driven to work together to bring about a miracle of peace for one and all.

Cynical Exploitation of Under Age Children

In light of the recent blatant exploitation of under age children / minors in the mounting violence inspired by Hamas and the “Falestinian Authority” in the rioting in Jerusalem against Israel. I thought it oh just so hypocritical that the entire international community; and the world media are ever so ready to turn a blind eye to the fact that the sole reason for the presence of the Israeli Police and Border Guards in the neighborhoods of Jerusalem is to quell civil disobedience by rioters. However it is blatantly clear that the Hamas, Fatah and other Palestinian groups are using children in what appears to be a new Intifada against Israel by breaking the law and threatening innocent civilians.

These so called “minors” are being sent to throw stones and firebombs, and launch fireworks at policemen and border guards- “officers of the law”, as well as at Israeli civilians and vehicles, including buses and the light rail in Jerusalem who have been sent into the neighborhoods to restore civil order..

Instead of condemning those “law breakers”, who cynically exploit these “children” and young adults, to violently confront "officers of the law." The international community and the media are busy being manipulated into denouncing these “officers of the law” for performing their sworn duty to maintain civic order.

These "officers of the law" are using non-lethal means in their attempts to disburse the rioters who are being goaded and stroked into attacking and injuring the “officers of the law”  by all sorts of lethal means such as; large stones, Molotov Cocktails, slingshots, burning tires and even vehicles. In any other country when violent means are used by rioters against "officers of the law" they respond by using all of the exact same means at their disposal to defend themselves.

Yet when "officers of the law" here in Israel respond, Hamas and Fatah terrorist operators cynically inflame these “minors” into acts which draw violent responses by the "officers of the law" to defend not only themselves but other innocent civilians.

When "officers of the law" in any part of the globe see themselves threatened with bodily harm or that civilian lives are at stake they respond and violators and criminals are either "neutralized" or arrested. Yet, when this happens in Israel the Media is manipulated to always blame Israel for "deliberately targeting" “Falestinian” children — an allegation the media in the West endorses without question because to them Jerusalem and Judea and Shomron are the “Occupied West Bank”.

Most of us “normal” parents in the western world would be thinking; “What in the world could be motivating a normal thinking parent to allow a child of theirs to be outside in risk of his life?” What sort of corrupt moralistic values are involved here?

Very few outside of the Middle East are aware and have been informed by the Western Media that over the years Arab governments and Palestinian groups have offered large financial rewards to the families of the "Shadidim- Martyrs". Many of these Palestinian children have been cynically brainwashed from birth to hate Jews -not "just" Zionists but as "Good" Moslems ALL Jews in their UNWRA and Palestinian Authority run schools. These "Shadidim" are often times from large families who reside in squalid refugee camps kept there to fester by their own leaders. These poor deprived youth come from low income families who are less motivated to stop their children from risking their lives than those of the "educated' upper classes of the Palestinian "Elite". Many Arab youth have been inflamed into further hatred by foreign outside agitators whose sole reasoning for coming to "Palestine" is to deepen the hatred. Just as the poor "Shadidim" these brainwashed "Liberal" youth are cynically manipulated by the "Palestinian Leadership" who have grown wealthy from the millions poured into the bottomless coffers in the name of "Palestine". As one Palestinian Arab once told me; “You’d never see one of “Their” children as a “Shahid”!”

Now allow us to review the recent cases of the two Palestinians with US citizenship:

The fifteen-year-old Palestinian-American Tariq Abu khadeir, from Florida, was actively involved in the rioting in Jerusalem when he was chased down caught and beaten. One wonders what he did to deserve the beating the way he did. ( It is highly interesting and questionable that the "unescorted minor" just happened to be filmed being beaten up, yet his actions in the violent demonstrations  prior to this is not filmed. Nor is there a reason mentioned as to why he was allowed to be outside during a riot?)

Orwah Hammad, whose age is quoted as being from 14 to 17(?) was killed near the West Bank town of Silwad, near Ramallah. ( Hammad lives with his mother in Silwad his father, Abdul Wahhab Hammad, resides in Louisiana )  As the police inquiry reveals, the police officer saw a masked individual with a Khaffiyeh standing prepared to heave a lit bottle of fuel (a Molotov Cocktail) at a SUV traveling  on the road below. Fully releasing the consequences of the deadly effect on the vehicle the “Officer of the Law” took

immediate lethal force to prevent a possible homicide. As it turned out the SUV in question was driven by a Jewish “Settler” with her three “minor” children. What could have happened when the Molotov Cocktail filled with burning fuel had hit the windshield of the moving vehicle with a mother and her three small children was what went through our “Officer of the Law’s” mind.

From the distance the officer could not determine that the masked individual was a 14 year old Arab, with US citizenship. What the “Officer of the Law” shot was a law breaker preparing to use deadly force against a civilian in a violent act by throwing "Molotov Cocktails" at Israeli “civilians.

And what was the Palestinian response? They buried in a ceremony as a Hamas terrorist wrapped in a Hamas flag with a Hamas bandana wrapped around his head.

The US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki called for "speedy and transparent investigation" of the incident and sent its "deepest condolences" to this kid's family? Now that the incident is know, nobody asks how yet again the parents of a juvenile American citizen was allowed to venture out and participate in breaking laws in Israel yet again?

By the way according to the web site of the Department of State “Hamas” is designated as a (FTO) Foreign Terrorist Organizations since the 8th of October 1997. May we ask State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki for a comment on this fact to explain just how the US Government "expresses its deepest condolences" over his death as a member of a US Government declared FTO?

The world press must be held accountable for not telling the truth just as adult activists who encourage and send children to take part in violence should be held accountable. Israel needs to show the truth that the “Palestinian Leadership” once more is using its people, its children to confront Israeli “Officers of the Law” and not to negotiate for their benefit.
