Clicking The Emoji

 A note if I may ...I want to be totally honest with everyone and I plead with you to read to the end to think, to comment and above all to share!

How many of us stop to contemplate just how Holocaust denial exists?

We all know about anti-Semitism but how many really care?

Facebook has a variety of types of posts:

The cute kids

The cute pets

The great music videos

The ever-present culinary successes -where we boast of our prowess in food preparations!

The family "get togethers" / weddings / anniversaries etc.

The ever-present Memes on ALL subjects!

There are the sexual ones of female bodies from the buddy of mine- still in the 10th grade locker room, eh Victor ;-)

Oh, and Gott Im Himmel I won't go dally on the "Politically" obsessed ones that cause one to be under the Community Standards heel of the feared Count Zuckerberg!

Or those conservative pro Trump posts that like blood in the water draw in the sharks of the banshees of hell and the "Fact Checkers" of censorship.

 How many do us do it?

We see posts made and labored on by our friends that we merely glance at them and rush to acknowledge by clicking on an Emoji.

Some of us MAY take the time to read short entries and may even leave comments.

Some begin reading and then see that the post is "long winded" and move on.

 I know I stand accused of doing this myself.

Sometimes we write entries regarding our concerns and we get "carried away" ...

I know it because I just recently wrote a very personal and emotional post to share on my feed. And it is the very basis for this "rant" of mine but please hear me out.

I recently wrote a post, to not only emphasize the highly emotional feeling I am experiencing as I wade through actual written records of my relatives in the "Pale of Settlement" Galicia. I wrote it because of the overwhelming evidence written physical proof of the beastiality of man and the genocidal mania in the calculated thoroughly planned "Die Endlsung der Judenfrage" the Final solution to the Jewish question.

I sit here in front of this mass of evidence in total astonishment as I try to understand how? How denial of the Holocaust can exist? 

The blithe use of the Emoji by a classmate on my post revealed just how easy it is. 

In my research I happened across a digitalized 8mm black and white home movie by a resident of the Shtetl of Babuchowie in Poland in 1938.

I was mesmerized!!

I was also shocked for I was watching a world that had been eradicated.

In the film I saw those three little smiling boys who could be my cousins from a home video made by a resident who had succeeded in life in the "Golden Medina" and had returned wealthy and well to do with an 8mm camera.

As I sat watching the video, I saw the residents - alive -smiling, the atypical home movie of a successful home town boy. The Yiddishkeit the life, the Joys of Simcha happiness  that once flowed from those hovels…..

In my post I had included a photo I made from screen shot from the video of the adorable faces of the three little boys smiling for the camera...

Ryan Bellerose was the person who saw the Laughing Emoji and queried: "how the hell did someone post a laugh emoji on this post?"

 I clicked on the Emoji and saw that it was done by an individual who had been a classmate of mine in High School.

I replied to Ryan citing the possibility of his seeing the photo of the smiling children which at a glance, without reading, you see the adorable faces of the three little boys smiling for the camera and that could have been the reason for his response.

To me the comment showed the average Facebook response of NOT reading the post. So, I sent him a private message:

"Hello Robert a question if I may it indicates here -see photo that you posted a laughing emoji to my post. May I ask -as my good friend Ryan Bellerose asks -WHY did you response by the Laughter Emoji? Did you read my post or simply "clicked on?

May I point out to you that the post was not about the joy in the children's faces. My post was about the beastiality hidden by this image.

I never receive a response

According to the after-action reports of the Einsatzgruppen C of the Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany that were responsible for the implementation of the so-called Final solution to the Jewish question (Die Endlsung der Judenfrage) in territories conquered by Nazi Germany. In the past I had read some of these reports so I know just how they were murdered in the Holocaust.

They were forced to strip off their clothing, whipped and beaten. Terrified by ruthless dogs into a line on the edge of a ditch -a mass grave and then shot. I force myself NOT to contemplate what were the last thoughts of these children as they fell onto the withering mass of their kinfolk in the mass grave.

Out of fears two years later the Nazi's came back and brought Sonderkommandos, work units made up of German Nazi death camp prisoners to exhume mass execution victims during the Holocaust. This was-also visualized in Schindler's List as in the scene of the two pushing a wheel barrel with the exhumed and lifeless little body of the young girl in the red coat.

A French Catholic priest Father Patrick Desbois has taken death bed confessions from those Ukranians and Poles who had participated as auxiliaries:

“We used to uncover the graves where there were people who had been killed during the past three years, take out the bodies, pile them up in tiers and burn these bodies, grind the bones, take out the valuables in the ashes, such as gold teeth, rings and so on, and separate them. After grinding the bones, we would throw the ashes up in the air so that they would disappear, replace the earth over the graves, and plant seeds so that nobody could recognize that there was once a grave there."

So, looking at the faces of these three little ghosts in heaven, few contemplate that a mere three years later they were murdered their little bodies exhumed and burned their bones crushed

They do not have a grave their ashes thrown to the wind

They were murdered simply because they were Jews just as Jews are murdered with ease today because we returned home.

Genealogy and Jews

After Spending hours going -wading through the deeply heart wrenching history of the life of the Jews in the "Pale of Settlement". One cannot fully comprehend just how immensely hard life was for our ancestors in Eastern Europe. 

One sees just how those "Lucky" Jews of the enlightened and educated "Western Europe" who were "emancipated" from the Ghettos under the reign of Napoleon! 

Freed from the "Shackles" they rushed to be accepted and to "adopt" and assimilate. They did this but changing or "Reforming" their Judaism like their neighbors and by accepting modern ways, education and clothing.

Their neighbors who were "enlightened" as "Protestants" revoked the ways of the Roman Catholic Church saw the world "differently" and gave the Jews of "Western Europe" encouragement to seek lives differently.

  

The Orthodox religious Jews of the "Pale of Settlement"-  my Paternal Grandfather's family -lived their lives day by day under the oppression of the whim of the Czar and the evil backward Russian Orthodox Church that controlled the lives of their neighbors who constantly abused, robbed and on a whim murdered their neighbors.

As I read through the stories of desperation and the need for solace it is no wonder there were so many different Chassidic Movements who sought spiritual escapism. 

As you research you see how in the period from 1880, the beginnings of the movements of Zionism and of Haskala -Education. Like rays of sunshine penetrating the dark curtains of their homes. 

For the "Ohevi Zion"-Ḥibat Tsiyon (Love of Zion) the trek to Eretz Yisrael was hampered by Islamic hatred of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The life of a "Helutz"- Pioneer (settler) was fraught with danger and disease. 

To those Jews living in the "Pale of Settlement" who wished to leave to a "better place", the news these potential pioneers received was disheartening to say the least. The passage to Eretz Yisrael was not really open and there was imminent danger every step of the way. The area was very poor and most religious Jews who had reached Eretz Yisreal experienced servere hardships.

In this period of time, one by one, family and shtetl members are leaving fleeing to England, Canada or to the preferred goldene medina – “golden country” (in Yiddish, a phrase referring to America as a land of opportunity" were there was the "easier less threat of death) ability to succeed and to live a better life. After the years of extreme oppression and suffering the easy way of life called out to them.

In the west - England, Canada and America these "pioneer Jews" fleeing the "Pale of Settlement" found it easier to adjust. As soon as one would find employment, establish a business and built a home. He would send for his brothers and sistera to join him. They would also try to make matches between those who "had made it" with their relatives thereby expanding the circle of Jews in many locations in England, Canada and America. 

To me it is absolutely a no brainer that the words on the statue of Liberty come from "a member of the tribe" Emma Lazarus-The New Colossus:

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” 

Just who was Emma Lazarus? 

She was born in New York City, July 22, 1849, into a large Sephardic Jewish family.  She was the fourth of seven children of Moses Lazarus, a wealthy Jewish merchant and sugar refiner,  and Esther Nathan. One of her great-grandfathers on the Lazarus side was from Germany;  the rest of her Lazarus and Nathan ancestors were originally from Portugal and resident in New York long before the American Revolution, being among the original twenty-three Portuguese Jews who arrived in New Amsterdam fleeing the Inquisition from their settlement of Recife, Brazil.

Coming back to the research on the Jews of "The Pale of Settlement" I see how the storm clouds in Europe and old hatreds arise from the cesspool during World War I and how in the intervening years of the Bolshevik revolution how death and destruction convulses over the already impoverished and decimated Jewish communities who continue to eek out and cling to life. How pitiful their meager existence.

And then when we have the rise of Hitler, once more the madness returns. Only this time it is a whirlwind of sheer madness with no chance of escape. 

I force myself to read the eyewitness testimony...my heart breaks with emotion...I cry. When I read the words I see them, I hear them they say to me; "Please say Kaddish for me."

I see the infants, I want to hold them and comfort them ...

I see the young children, like my children and grandchildren and I want to sweep them up into my arms and flee with them ...but alas....the doors of the world were slammed shut by that age old hatred.

Real witness testimony

“We used to uncover the graves where there were people who had been killed during the past three years, take out the bodies, pile them up in tiers and burn these bodies, grind the bones, take out the valuables in the ashes, such as gold teeth, rings and so on, and separate them. After grinding the bones we would throw the ashes up in the air so that they would disappear, replace the earth over the graves, and plant seeds so that nobody could recognize that there was once a grave there." 

The "Whitewashing" of Chanukah

There are those Jews in name only among us who are spiteful, hate filled and utterly irresponsible who do their best to show THEIR "Not me" I am NOT a Zionist Jew.

These are the ones who instead of talking about us as one people, want to divide us instead. They rush to divide us along the colour of our skin or where our grandparents were born. They want to pit secular Jews against Orthodox Jews, just like they pit the "White" European Ashkenazi Jews against the "Darker" "Jews of Arab lands" Mizrachi Jew against each other as if we are not of the same family of DNA, which in reality what we really are. 

Face it, the fact is Jews are Jews - and it doesn't matter if you born in Israel or Iraq or New York or London or a small village in the middle of Ethiopia. 

Yet, despite the many cultural differences, our greatest strength lies first and foremost in our Judaism. It also lies within in our shared history, our shared nationhood, our stories and our birthright. 

During the "Christmas season" across the world there are many "beloved" celebrities, newscasters, members of the "Mass media" and government representatives who trip over themselves to "make a showing" by wishing their "accepted assimilated Jews" a happy secular "Hanukkah", TOTALLY oblivious to the true historical story the real Hanukkah is based on. 

Oh how gleefully happy these politicians and celebrities' are to "trot out" their "token court Jews"!! Be it their husband or wives of assimilated marriages, these "Mischlings" of history.

They glorify themselves in the age old story of Hellenization; the movement to neutralize and remove the religion of Judaism to allow assimilation in order to be "accepted"  among their peers! Their "white washing", of "Chanukah" version IS the age old story of denial of Zionism and Judaism. 

For them, their narrative negates the significance of Zion (Israel) while extolling the blatant and perverse demonization of a Land they claim has no relation to them. And because of this perverse negation, many of them have joined forces with the sick vile hate filled anti-Semites anti-Israel crowd believing that acceptance as one of the haters will one day save them just like those Jews who served as Kapos in the Ghettos and death camps! 

For them to admit that they are Jews and to realize that as Jews we all have always been "outsiders" is too much to bear. 

Just like the "enlightened" and well to do assimilated Jews of Western Europe in the 19th and pre Nazi era 20th century distained their "old world" Orthodox Zionistic cousins of the "Pale of Settlement.

For them to admit they to are connected to the the indigenous people of Eretz Yisrael may call into question the truth of their residence as strangers in different lands.  

For more than two millennium mass persecutions and death where wrought upon us Jews as the "outsiders" who refused to acknowledge "His" existence-their "savior" -Yahsuah the Messiah Jesus, who as an indigenous Jew was a Judean. A "Jew" born in Bethlehem, Zion-Eretz Yisrael. 

For centuries THIS part of the story was suppressed or left unspoken to the masses. For to admit that their "Savior" was first and foremost a Jew called a rabbi by his followers would go against their joyful willingness to butcher the "Jews" for more than two millennium. Just like the denial of the Jewish right to exist as a free people in "OUR" homeland and our forced expulsion.  

For to acknowledge "OUR right" to exist as a free people in "OUR" indigenous homeland would be an acknowledgment to admit that Jesus was first and foremost a Jew born in Bethlehem. 

Now, there is the "burden" of the tale of the Tragedy Tourists of Nachba fame. 

The fable of the so called Palestinians who since the late 1960's have hijacked the sympathy of the world and it's spotlight of misery to be focused only on them. These manipulators of the media with their mendacious lies and "falestinian dezinformatsiya",  gained control over the UN and have used the world media to milk the nations of the world for billions of EURO's and Dollars  supposedly for their people whilst in reality their leaders and their cronies have reaped the benefits without any monitoring as to WHERE the monies disappeared.

Therefore, is it no wonder the Tragedy Tourists of Nachba fame and their duped minions are so busy trying to "steal" Jesus as a  "Palestinian" so as to continue the denial of the truth that they are the true usurpers of OUR Jewish homeland.

All the while the JINO's of the world will continue their dance of appeasement.

The UAE - Israel Peace Treaty and Judaea and Shomron

" US Ambassador to the US David Friedman clarified that the word which had been chosen to describe the situation was “suspended” and that the word had been chosen “very carefully” because it means a temporary halt. Sovereignty, Friedman said was “off the table” not but not “off the table permanently.”

“Israel has agreed not to do it. More than off the table, they have agreed not to do it," Trump said. "I think that very important. I think it was a great concession by Israel, I think it was a smart concession....HOWEVER,  he could not clarify what would happen in the future, “right now it is off the table.”

The US Ambassador explained that, “we have an agreement with the Emirates. We are going to nail all the details, embassies, overflights, commercial. Then we are going to extrapolate that to the rest of the region.

“How long that takes, I cannot tell you. But we have prioritized peace over the sovereignty movement. It’s not off the table, it’s just something that has been deferred until we have given peace every single chance.”

When asked if a deal with the UAE could have been reached without Netanyahu’s decision to suspend annexation.

“I think you can't do both at the same time,” Friedman said. “Prioritize peace. Sovereignty after peace is given every opportunity.”

But, he said, Israel has not been asked to permanently abandoned the idea of annexation.

As Dr, Spyridon Litas wote in his article; "A New Reality for the Eastern Mediterranean", BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,691

In political theory there are two roads to follow when dealing with problems like these: an idealistic road, and a realistic road.

The first approach argues that if a state or region seeks a pathway toward stability and progress, it must first deal with the many challenges at hand. 

The second approach urges the political entity to push forward and simultaneously find solutions to its current predicaments while ensuring its future prospects.

Inefficient governments that hide their failures behind structural drawbacks,readily favor avoiding any step outside their safety zones of conventional thinking or practice.

The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel have seen in this era of Iranian threats and the growing dangers in Turkey that a united front of enlightened leadership is needed. 

The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel follow constructive policies on the domestic front. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have taken full notice that Israel has made itself into a “start-up nation” with one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world dedicated to finding solutions to daily threats that challenge its very survival, 

The Israeli military’s edge is a tremendous boost to not only the security of it's citizens but to the internal economy and national prestige as well. 

Though the UAE has been targeted by Iranian backed Shiite and Sunni (ISIS) radicals. The UAE has grown and developed in the last decade into a cosmopolitan hub that is a top tourist destination, a global champion of culture and sports. Under the leadership of Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan the UAE has embraced the "smart city- smart nation" concepts to improve the life of the people now and in the future and in so doing they have achieved top awards in AI and in the energy sector. 

Saudi Arabia has also entered a phase of profound advances in both economy and society, though modernization will be a long and bumpy process. The kingdom is still a conservative political entity with a firm religious structure and a "unique" political functioning. Nevertheless, Riyadh has opposed religious radicalism (both Sunni and Shiite) and is a pillar of stability and rationality for the global crude oil market.

These three smart states are all pioneers in various aspects of international politics, technology, civic structure, and inter-religious dialogue. Their successes underline that it is irrational for the Eastern Mediterranean region to ignore its economic reconstruction or technological advancement while it deals with its geostrategic challenges. It is not sensible for the region to concentrate on those challenges at the expense of modernizing its economies and institutions, and vice versa.

In his speech regarding the UAE - Israel Peace Accord, as Tovah Lazaroff points out in her article from the Jerusalem Post Trump: "West Bank annexation 'off the table', Christianity part of UAE deal."

Part of President Trump's awareness of the Middle East that he and his advisors discussed before issuing the "Deal of the Century", was the ongoing tragedy confronting the Christian minority's in the Middle East. Specifically in Syria and Iraq in the aftermath of the genocidal actions of ISIS.

This has become a major issue with the President not only because of his political base but because of his humanity- which his detractors constantly deny.

"Protecting Christians in the Middle East is an important part of the nascent peace deal that the USA has brokered between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, US President Donald Trump told reporters in Washington late Thursday as he clarified that West Bank annexation was off the table right now.

“Christians have been persecuted by some countries in particular in the Middle East. This [the UAE deal] is a big start, It is going to be a strong start, a very powerful start” toward protecting Christians in the Middle East, Trump said.

“If you look at the way Christians have been treated in some countries, it is beyond disgraceful. If I had information and if I had absolute proof of some of the stories we have heard, which is not easy to get, I would go in and do a number to those countries, like you would not believe,”

As a result protecting Christians in the Middle East would also be a component of future deals that would be signed between Israel and other countries in the region, he clarified.

Christianity “is a very big part of the overall negotiation. As countries come in, the UAE has agreed very strongly to represent us, I think will, very well, with respect to Christianity, because in the Middle East it is not treated well. It is treated horribly and very unfairly,”

The president also attempted to clarify some of the confusion with regard to any Israeli plans to annex portions of the West Bank.

In January the US had unveiled a peace plan that would have allowed Israel to annex up to 30% of the West Bank, but then the Trump administration asked Israel to wait before executing that plan. 

On Thursday in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the as a result of the deal, annexation had been delayed but "would move forward".

Trump told reporters he believed that the Palestinians would also come to the negotiating table to make a deal with Israel, because they rely heavily on financial support of countries that are coming to the table.

The Palestinians are “supported by countries we are already talking to. Palestinians will, without saying it necessarily yet, they want to be part of what we are doing. I see peace between Israel and the Palestinians happening, as these big powerful wealthy countries come in, I think the Palestinians will follow quite naturally,” Trump said.

The Story of "Shirley Temper" and the Tamimi Clan

As someone who served in the IDF and in reserves over the years in the area of Judea and Shomron. I wish to mention that in the 1976 period when I had just begun my service.  I was assigned to escort Israeli Water works (Mekorot) employees in their job to lay water lines through parts of the area to Jewish and Arab villages. 

By the way in THOSE days we were greeted warmly by the Arab villagers and we were offered "Turkish" coffee, baklava and pitaot with cheese, olive oil and Zartar - not rocks, gunfire and Molotov cocktails!!
I can remember that we stayed for two weeks in the old Tegart fort where the renewed Jewish townlet of Halamish is today.

I remember the work that was done to connect everyone Jew and Arab alike. I can remember how neglected the area was by the Jordanian's during their "occupation" and attempt at "annexation" that no village was connected to a water or sewage infrastructure. How the roads, were only those built by the Ottoman Turkish Empire or "improved upon" by the Mandatory British forces.
Most importantly I remember how deserted and barren the miles and miles of hills of Judaea were with absolutely NO trees other then the occasional olive orchards close by the villages in the Jordanian "West Bank".

As a combat Medic I remember most importantly how the most basic medical services were lacking. As a medic I was required to collect information and record data of the amount and quality of the water. 

I especially remember how disgusting the cisterns and water holes were kept and the total lack of hygiene amongst the rural Arab populace. The cistern that is today the "excuse" for incitement and as a "place of confrontation" by the Tamimi family belongs historically to the village of Deir Nidham. The area was disgustingly filthy with goat dung and feces of other animals as well as humans who would wash their feet and hands in the water.

The hygiene in the villages was 'somewhat better" especially those homes of the more "affluent -read Christian" villagers who had well kept cisterns and cesspools "bor spigot". 

Human waste -sludge- was separated and added to the manure of the animals in the rocky fields as manure fertilizer between the Olive trees.

What exists in the "disputed territories" due to our "Israeli" presence is like a "night and day" difference from what there was during the Jordanian occupation. 

As to the complains by the residents of Nebi Salih they tend to forget that most of the villagers were not land owners but tenants on land that belonged to absentee landlords who resided in Damascus. Few if any even had Ottoman Turkish "Taboo"-land registration ownership. I remember that the ones who actually did have ownership were the Christian villagers - who were more educated and in most cases the wealthier residents.

The REAL TRUTH regarding Nebi Salih is that when the first Jewish residents moved into the old British Tegart fort on Havlata Hill in 1977, the Arabs from the village of Deir Nidham, inspired by leftist Jewish "anti-Settlers" and anti-Semites from abroad, went to the Supreme Court of Israel and claimed ownership of the hill and the surrounding area. 

As Israel "IS" a democracy, the case went before the Israeli Supreme Court. However, upon review of all REAL documentation and facts -including aerial photographs from the German air force in World War I. It was deemed that the Jewish village was being built on state-owned land.  

The state owned area included the cistern Ein al-Qaws (The Bow Spring) which had been a place of fighting and contention for years between the villagers of Nabi Salih and Deir Nidham. 

This whole story, over entitlement to the land, is the very essence  to the "Palestinian Conflict". 

Notice the tone and the willingness to appease the Arab populace used by the Mandate Government as evidenced in this; "Report of the Palestine Royal Commission, July 1937" to spite the Jews.

The British government appointed the Peel Commission to investigate the reasons for the civil unrest in Palestine. Lord Peel's findings on land purchase were as follows:

A summary of land legislation enacted during the Civil Administration shows the efforts made to fulfill the Mandatory obligation in this matter. The Commission point to serious difficulties in connection with the legislation proposed by the Palestine Government for the protection of small owners. The Palestine Order in Council and, if necessary, the Mandate should be amended to permit of legislation empowering the High Commissioner to prohibit the transfer of land in any stated area to Jews, so that the obligation to safeguard the right and position of the Arabs may be carried out. Until survey and settlement are complete, the Commission would welcome the prohibition of the sale of isolated and comparatively small plots of land to Jews.

Up till now the Arab cultivator has benefited on the whole both from the work of the British Administration and the presence of Jews in the country, but the greatest care must now be exercised to see that in the event of further sales of land by Arabs to Jews the rights of any Arab tenants or cultivators are preserved. Thus, alienation of land should only be allowed where it is possible to replace extensive by intensive cultivation. In the hill districts there can be no expectation of finding accommodation for any large increase in the rural population. At present, and for many years to come, the Mandatory Power should not attempt to facilitate the close settlement of the Jews in the hill districts generally.

The shortage of land is due less to purchase by Jews than to the increase in the Arab population. The Arab claims that the Jews have obtained too large a proportion of good land cannot be maintained. Much of the land now carrying orange groves was sand dunes or swamps and uncultivated when it was bought.

Legislation vesting surface water in the High Commissioner is essential. An increase in staff and equipment for exploratory investigations with a view to increasing irrigation is recommended.

The Arabs the Tragedy Tourists of the Nacba Losers society cannot stand to see Jews as their "neighbors''-especially those who reside in Judaea and Shomron. They will stop at nothing to deny "US" Jews OUR indigenous rights to OUR lands. 

THEY do not wish to live in "Peace" ergo their countless murderous attacks, "Days of rage" temper tantrums and demonstrations ah la Bassem Tamimi and ISM Peace Now Pallywood productions.

Ahed Tamimi, is the "Pallywood™" star known as Shirley Temper, because of white skin and her blond hair. She is a propaganda tool who was groomed by her abusive parents Bassem, who has been jailed eight times, and Nariman who has been detained five times. 

They became  well-known mass media Palestinian activists in their village of Nabi Saleh. The "Shirley Temper" family have "milked" the Media frenzy against Israel for more then a decade in the staging and instigating of provocative confrontations with young Israeli soldiers who arrive to maintain order. 

Due to these staged and filmed "incidents" Bassem al-Tamimi and his daughter "Shirley Temper" Ahed Tamimi are very much "in demand" for anti-Israel anti-"Occupation" speaking engagements through out the world by Liberal, anti-Zionist, anti-Israel Hate groups abroad.

Here is an old 2005 video of just how the Tamimi family cynically sent their children to provoke soldiers to elicit by all means acts of violence in front of cameras (note just how many reporters are on hand).

This video was shot on a main road near the village of Nabi Salih and the Jewish residential townlet of Halamish, in Judaea and Shomron which was part of the League of Nations Mandated Area designated in the Treaty Of Serves in 1922 to be part of the "Jewish Homeland" that was previously "Occupied" by the Jordanians and liberated in a war of defense in June 1967.

From her youth Ahed Tamimi was fed on a diet of incitement and hatred against Israel and appeared in a string of identical ISM (International Solidarity Movement) "staged" and produced videos where she challenges and attempts to provoke responses by Israeli security forces. 

She rose to prominence after she was filmed confronting IDF soldiers who arrested her brother, which resulted in her being presented with a bravery award. She was handed the ‘Handala Award for Courage’ by the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in Istanbul.

The "Shirley Temper" family have "milked" the Media frenzy against Israel for more then a decade in the staging and instigating of provocative confrontations with young Israeli soldiers who arrive to maintain order. They use the B'tselem NGO provided video cameras and "Palestinian Press stringers" -freelancers to record scenes of "Israeli repression".  

Up until 2010 soldiers where the ones called to scenes of disturbances where they were assigned to prevent  violence and confrontation. And as seen in the videos they would simply stand peacefully near their vehicles and watch. 

The Tamini's took advantage of these setting and under the massive presence

of members of the "Press" they would "instigate confrontations" to "elicit" responses. Provocateurs would urge many times underage youth to throw "stones", use slingshots and to provoke the soldiers -who are combat infantry and not trained and unprepared for police type civil disturbance violence. 

Occasionally seeing that their rock

throwing and abuse was NOT providing photographic "opportunities" the Palestinian provocateurs would escalate the violence by throwing Molotov cocktails at the Israeli soldiers to induce violent reactions to be filmed.

Due to these staged and filmed "incidents" Bassem al-Tamimi and his daughter "Shirley Temper" Ahed Tamimi are very much "in demand" for anti-Israel anti-"Occupation" speaking engagements through out the world by Liberal, anti-Zionist, anti-Israel Hate groups abroad.

Another cousin Ahlam Ahmad Al-Tamimi is currently on the FBI's most wanted list for her assistance in carrying out the Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing in which Shoshana Yehudit (Judy) Greenbaum, 31 (5 months pregnant), from Passaic, New Jersey, U.S was murdered. She was convicted by Israel and received multiple life sentences but was released as part of the Gilead Shalit prisoner exchange. She hosts a television Jordanian government sponsored show about Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
Her aliases include Ahlam Aref Ahmad Al-Tamimi, Ahlam Arafat Mazin Al Tamimi,, Halati and Khalti, and the FBI has reported her name as Ahlam Ahmad Al-Tamimi.

Irony: Oops he thought she was a Jewess.

Hannah Bladon, a Pro-Palestinian activist had surreptitiously enrolled in the Zionistic and pro-Israel program Rothberg International School of Hebrew University in order to receive free housing and ease of access to Falestinian groups on the encouragement of BTzelem and the Israeli chapter of Jews For Justice in Falestine. 

She was stabbed to death (Karma) on the light rail in Jerusalem by #pay4slay murderer Jamil Tamimi, a 57-year-old, from the [Jerusalem] neighborhood of Ras al-Amud who is a clan relative of the infamous "Pallywood" star Shirley Temper.

In a recent incident, for which Ahed was arrested and jailed, it was filmed by the massive media presence near the Tamini home, that received world wide coverage. Ahed Tamini was seen by the "glorifiers" of the Palestinian side as "bravely" slapping and abusing an Israeli Army officer and his communications man.

According to his testimony to the court, the officer and his communications man rushed to the Tamimi clan home to cut off and prevent the retreat and fortification of the rioting Arabs from the road.
The video was shot just as the leader of the riots -who was as usual with his B'Tselem provided movie camera sequestered themselves inside the home of Bassem Tamimi, realized that his plan for the provocation of an attack on his home was foiled by the move of the officer.
The officer assessed the situation and realized what was occurring but due to the fact that higher command had not provided sufficient forces he did not have reserve forces to come to his aid. Therefore it was his command decision to absorb the abuse rather then giving in to the extreme provocation and thereby reduce the chances of an escalation of the rioting.

Because of the amount of media attention, caused primarily by the numerous "stringers" freelance Palestinian and Israeli photographers and cameramen at every riot. The rioters who feel emboldened to react do so many times and civilians are injured. 
These members of the Palestinian "stringers Faux-press" who cynically manipulate the crowds of rioters for the maximum propaganda effect, are themselves Hamas and PLO activists and should therefore be arrested as provocateurs and fined and severely punished. 

Provocateurs found with cameras should be arrested and journalists should have their certifications revoked and if found to be derisive to be declared "persona non grata" and expelled.

I would even go so far as to impose severe fines on Media outlets who are caught or provide "aid and comfort" to the enemy.

FYI for All the "International Law" Geneva Convention people please note: 

Since the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas" aka the "New Palestinians" refused UNR181 and Oslo and the area is "disputed territory" British Mandatory Laws still are in force. 

So since British Mandate period Laws are LEGALLY  in effect from  the "Great Revolt". Mandate regulations allow for heavy fines to be placed on villagers and villages that react violently. Those declared belligerent as per the Law should be deported and the villages leveled since the area of Judaea and Shomron ARE part of Mandated Territory and the action taken is based on BRITISH Mandatory Law should be widely stated.

Tragedy Tourism hijacking of BLM

A recent "discourse" on Talkbacks with some American Jews, who cling to Liberalism and the Democratic Party at the expense of their "Jewish heritage" over the "anti-Jewish" stance by BLM. Led to accusations that pro-Israel, pro Zionists were liars and that the BLM original platform / charter posted on the Internet does NOT have clauses "hateful" of Jews but ONLY anti-Zionistic and anti-Israel rhetoric. 

However, by back checking we can clearly see that Black Lives Matters leaders have adopted the Communist insurgency rule book, outlined to those members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee’s (SNCC) during their indoctrination by the KGB, on how to removing all evidence on the Internet of their "Original Manifesto"- Cree- Platform of their original anti-Israel anti-Zionist section.

In multiple articles like  "How Did Black Lives Matter Come To Charge Israel With ‘Genocide’?" by Sam Kestenbaum from August 9, 2016. The link to the text of the "manifesto" is "broken". 

I can also refer you also to this Israellycool article from 2016 regarding a Letter to the Editor of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Bishop Lawrence M. Wooten, President of the Ecumenical Leadership Council of St. Louis, who wrote,

"We sincerely recognize the value of law enforcement officers and realize that the majority are devoted public servants. However, we also believe that Black Lives Matter plays a vital role in addressing racially driven police abuse in America.

Recently, Black Lives Matter issued a platform of demands. One of the demands called for the elimination of U.S. aid to Israel. Their argument is that Israel is an apartheid state perpetrating genocide against the Palestinians. Most of the platform’s readers are likely unaware that its Israel/Palestine section was written by an activist who was born and raised as a Jew, although Rachel Gilmer says she no longer identifies as  (being) Jewish.

The Ecumenical Leadership Council of Missouri, representing hundreds of predominantly African-American churches throughout the state, rejects without hesitation any notion or assertion that Israel operates as an apartheid country. We embrace our Jewish brethren in America and respect Israel as a Jewish state."

Because of this I sent a request to Canary Mission to see if they have a copy and they sent me the link to an archived copy. 

From a key wikki page is this passage regarding regarding Benjamin Ndugga-Kabuye who was the "co-author' of the anti-Israel section of the Black Lives matter Platform:

"Amid the nearly 40,000 words that make up the recent manifesto issued by a large coalition affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement, two have raised an outcry among mainstream Jewish organizations and leaders.

Those two words, in a brief section about Israel, are “apartheid” and “genocide.”

The original August 1, 2016 manifesto, was penned by a coalition of some 60 grassroots organizations known as the Movement for Black Lives. Supposedly their credo and manifesto are largely focused on the group’s ideas for achieving racial justice for African Americans in the United States, and that "Israel" was NOT specifically targeted.

Accordingly we are informed;

"... few knew that it was a woman with a Jewish background who co-wrote the very section that provoked them.

And just WHO is this woman with a Jewish background ?

Rachel Gilmer, is a 28-year-old African American who was born to an African-American father and a "white Jewish mother". 

According to her short biography, "though raised as a Jew Gilmer had participated as a teen in the Young Judaea Zionist youth group". Since that time she has "distanced herself" from organized religion and in university Gilmer somehow transformed into a full fledged JINO -Jew in name only fervent anti-Zionist and had become actively involved in black-Palestinian solidarity work. 

Gilmer is associated with the activist group Dream Defenders. A group whose original and main aim was to ending police and prisons (especially private prisons) as part of their policy and is geared towards people of color who share the goal of multi-racial organizing, among other goals.

However, since the involvement of the "Tragedy Tourists of Nachbaland" in the riots of Ferguson, Missouri beginning in August of 2014, after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. The Dream Defender's, as well as the BLM group, have been subverted and hijacked by the "Tragedy Tourists of Nachbaland" -the Palestinians. 

Under the influence of Rachel Gilmer Dream Defenders has; 

"been on the forefront of recent black-Palestinian solidarity efforts, such as bringing high-profile delegations of African-American activists to Israel and the West Bank."

According to the credits on the BLM web site Gilmer, and Benjamin Ndugga-Kabuye, from the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, were the sole authors of the anti-Israel / Zionism section of the platform issued by the Movement for Black Lives.

It is worth noting that in May of 2014, Gilmer traveled to Israel and the Judea and Shomron (the "disputed territories" or West Bank) on a trip sponsored by Hanan Ashrawi's MIFTAH group. While on her blatantly anti-Zionist anti-Israel one sided tour she was indoctrinated and further bamboozled with the Palestinian lies and commented later:

“While our struggles are not identical, it became so clear that we are up against the same system of state violence and repression,” “We must call for the divestment of the military industrial complex, just like we are calling for a divestment from the policing of our neighborhoods.”

I t is true that Gilmer is far from the only person responsible for the entire Movement for Black Lives platform.

According to the BLM website the manifesto was the result of a year of meetings, debates and conference calls among black-led organizations. Hundreds of individuals were involved. And Gilmer shared writing duties on the Israel section with just one other activist, Benjamin Ndugga-Kabuye, from the Black Alliance for Just Immigration.

Gilmer has stressed that the platform was written;

“for and by black people … to build connections between the Movement for Black Lives in the U.S. to movements for liberation around the world.” 

It is hard to comprehend in reading her biographic background just where and when this animosity and hostility of Zionism and Israel evolved in the mind of this "rosy Jewish Young Judea" background she professes.

Here are the pertinent paragraphs from the original BLM archived copy of the BLM Charter/ Platform  written by Rachel Gilmer and Benjamin Ndugga-Kabuye (Hat tip Canary Mission).

The highlighted text are atypical of the usual virulent hatefilled anti-Israel Palestinian dezinformatsiya propaganda based on semi actual facts which they use to distort and warp the wording to confuse and manipulate the minds of the "least intelligent".

From the BLM Mandate:

"The US military accounts for over 50 percent of discretionary federal spending, a total of 598.5 Billion dollars spent annually, as compared to 70 billion spent on education, 66 billion spent on healthcare, $63.2 billion spent on housing and 29.1 billion spent on social security and unemployment.

In addition, approximately 3 billion dollars in US aid is allocated to Israel, a state that practices systematic discrimination and has maintained a military occupation of Palestine for decades.

Together with aid to Egypt — Israel’s most important regional ally— this figure represents nearly 75 percent of all US aid dollars. As these figures demonstrate, resources and funds needed for reparations and for building a just and equitable society domestically are instead used to wage war against a majority of the world’s communities.

The US justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliance with Israel and is complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people. The US requires Israel to use 75 percent of all the military aid it receives to buy US-made arms. Consequently, every year billions of dollars are funneled from US taxpayers to hundreds of arms corporations, who then wage lobbying campaigns pushing for even more foreign military aid. The results of this policy are twofold: it not only diverts much needed funding from domestic education and social programs, but it makes US citizens complicit in the abuses committed by the Israeli government. Israel is an apartheid state with over 50 laws on the books that sanction discrimination against the Palestinian people. Palestinian homes and land are routinely bulldozed to make way for illegal Israeli settlements. Israeli soldiers also regularly arrest and detain Palestinians as young as 4 years old without due process. Everyday, Palestinians are forced to walk through military checkpoints along the US-funded apartheid wall.

As an "educated" and enlightened individual one truly has to stop, step back and wonder as to what level of intelligence exists within the leadership of the BLM - Dream Defenders when one reads these lines of such utter falsification of true facts that are readily available in a simple Google search!!

Let us take a critical look at the statements written by Rachel Gilmer and Benjamin Ndugga-Kabuye. 

1) This anti-Israel attack point that -Gilmer - begins with "US AID" is truly odd since this main point of attack is derived form the conspiracy theories of the Aryan White Supremists, Neo-Nazi, anti Jewish, virulent anti-Semites linked to the philosophies of William Luther Pierce III a prominent American white nationalist and of course right-wing politician, and a former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, David Dukes.

This anti-Israel stance was adopted by the Palestinian dezinformatsiya propaganda machine as a direct outcome of the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust which David Duke attended in Tehran, Iran in December  2006.  

As you can see in the above photo Neo-Nazi White Supremacist cooperation is accepted when it comes to hatred of the Jews.

 

2) "Israel, a state that practices systematic discrimination and has maintained a military occupation of Palestine for decades".- WHY?

"practices systematic discrimination" - 

This statement is pure Palestinian dezinformatsiya at it's best. The comparison is factually and morally inaccurate and is intended to delegitimize Israel. The "disputed territories"- the West Bank and Gaza are not part of sovereign Israel and are governed by the elected Palestinian Authority and Hamas leaders, so they cannot be compared to the internal policies of apartheid South Africa.

In the 1990s, the term "Israeli apartheid" gained prominence after Israel, as a result of the Oslo Accords, granted the Palestinians limited self-government in the form of the Palestinian Authority and established a system of permits and checkpoints in the Palestinian Territories. The apartheid accusation has gained additional traction following Israel's construction of the West Bank Barrier. By 2013 the analogy between the West Bank and Bantustans of apartheid-era South Africa was widely drawn in international circles. Also in the United States, where the notion had previously been taboo, Israel's rule over the occupied territories was increasingly compared to apartheid. 

The allusion is to the "Apartheid state" accusation became a favorite lie of the Palestinian Propagandists to bring disdain upon Israel.

South African Judge Richard Goldstone, writing in The New York Times in October 2011, said that while there exists a degree of separation between Israeli Jews and Arabs;

"in Israel, there is no apartheid. Nothing there comes close to the definition of apartheid under the 1998 Rome Statute". 

Concerning the West Bank, Goldstone wrote that the situation;

"is more complex. But here too there is no intent to maintain 'an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group'." 

Goldstone also wrote in The New York Times, 

"the charge that Israel is an apartheid state is a false and malicious one that precludes, rather than promotes, peace and harmony."

So why is the accusation of "apartheid" used by Gilmer in the BLM Charter? 

Several members of BLM profess to be "continuers" of the political beliefs of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee’s (SNCC). 

Black Panther leader Huey P Newton had been associated with the SNCC in a merger/ Newton Bobby Seale and other SNCC activists visited Lebanon in 1980 with Yasser Arafat and the PLO. When he was there Newton "further embraced" the "Palestinian Cause" and raised the subject of South African - Israel cooperation and of "Apartheid" in Africa. Huey P Newton was a political activist and an avid follower of Malcolm X. Newton professed to be a Marxist-Leninist revolutionary who, along with fellow Merritt College student Bobby Seale, co-founded the Black Panther Party (1966–1982). Huey was known for being an advocate of  communist-led governments in China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam.

As to the "Apartheid claim", there are those detractors that accuse Israel of "racial discrimination" or of "discrimination" against the Arab minority. Yet, facts on the ground clearly show that Israel on the whole is a Democratic country where all minorities and especially the Arab minority enjoy freedoms and rights unheard of in other nations. 

It is easy to ignorantly banter about the Apartheid claim when one does not even know the truth of the meaning of the term "Apartheid" 

2) military occupation of Palestine What is the truth in this statement? BLM has accepted and is spreading the true Palestinian intention as often stated by Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada and as mentioned in the charter of the PLO to eradicate the State of Israel!

Article 19: The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and to their natural right in their homeland, and inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, particularly the right to self-determination.

Since the inception of the "Jewish State" -UNR181 in November of 1947 the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas" aka the Palestinians have set out to eradicate it and have NEVER accepted a negotiated "Peace" since their stated objective is nothing less than the eradication of the Jewish (Independence from Dhimmitude Dominance) that  Israel represents?

Also notice the statement DOES NOT talk about the; "military occupation of the West Bank" but of "Palestine"-the entire Eastern Mandated Area referred to in UNR181!!!

"Palestinian homes and land are routinely bulldozed to make way for illegal Israeli settlements."

When one searches for information on this delicate subject one is immediately immersed in the essence of the conflict between the Arabs of the Mandated Territories-aka the Palestinians and the Jews of Israel. 

The core of the conflict is the possession of the land and the truth needs to be told but in all my searches on the Internet I was inundated with the Arab POV and not one word from the Israeli side. 

First, this statement used by Gilmer comes directly from the Palestinian Propagandist "Guidebook" and speaks of "Palestinians" and "Israeli Settlements". 

By Palestinians is she referring to "Arab Israelis" or those who reside in the "Disputed Territories"?

As to "Israeli Settlements" and the use of the "illegal" Legality issue these terms are often used by the detractors of Israel to define the Jewish residents of the "disputed territories" who have constructed homes and residential townlets and villages upon grants and permits to construct on lands that once belonged to the Ottoman Turkish Government and were subsequentially passed on to the Mandate Regime of the British as delegated under The Mandate for Palestine created in the Treaty of Sèvres and later ratified in the Treaty of Lausanne July 24th 1923 by the League of Nations.  

One must recall that historically the "Mandated Area" was offered to and never claimed by the "Arabs of the ‎‎Mandated Areas" in the partition plan to be the "State for the Arabs of the Mandated ‎‎Areas" or as they refer to themselves since 1964 as "Falestinians" were divided and had ‎‎no "Shadow Authority" in the "West Bank" to claim jurisdiction when the Arab League Nations invaded. ‎‎

Ergo when the Jordanian Legion invaded and illegally conquered the area and ethically ‎‎cleansed ALL the Jewish occupants and expelled them. They did so in violation of article 2 of the UN Charter and ART. 5 of the Mandate For Palestine .

The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power.

The Jordanian's even went so far as to attempt to annex the "West Bank" (a move that was not recognized internationally) and ‎therefore became ‎‎the "Occupier" of the "Mandate Areas" from 1948 through June of 1967. ‎

Furthermore, I would refer you to Article Six of the “Mandate for Palestine”, which states;

 “the Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article Four, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.” 

Accordingly, Article Six, makes it clear that Jewish settlements are not only permissible, but actually encouraged. Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) are perfectly legal. 

The use of the phrase “Occupied Palestinian Territories” is a disingenuous term that misleads the international community, while encouraging Palestinian Arabs, with the right to use all measures to attack Israel, including the use of terrorism.

Not once are Arabs as a "people / nation" mentioned in the Mandate for Palestine. Nowhere in the document is there any granting of political rights to Arabs.

The communities of Hartuv, Kfar Etzion, Hebron, and the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem. had only been re established after exhaustive investigations making sure none were built on private land. Israel also argues that some of the settlements are built in areas where Jewish communities that existed before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War when many "West Bank" Jewish Communities were destroyed and the residents massacred or expelled, It seems reasonable to refer to the land of these communities as liberated as it was freed from the illegal occupation of Jordan and was returned to possession of its owners, the Jewish People. Therefore in these cases the application of the Geneva Convention is an entirely different issue.

With the negotiated peace treaty between Jordan and Israel in 1995 the Mandated area for ‎‎the Jewish Homeland (Article 8 Mandate for Palestine) was returned and therefore the ‎‎‎"West Bank" officially became Israeli territory as per International Law termed; Uti ‎possidetis juris or uti possidetis iuris (Latin for "as you possess under law") is a principle ‎of international law that states that newly formed sovereign states should have the same ‎borders that their preceding dependent area had before their independence. So legally ‎there ‎is no need to annex since neither the Jordanians nor the "Falestinians" never ‎claimed ‎sovereignty. Since no country or government had ‎claimed sovereignty over it ‎than according to International Law “terra ‎nullius”, or "land ‎belonging to no one"‎

As to "bulldozing homes" this is done to ALL illegally built homes, both those of Jews as well as Arabs / Palestinians are "demolished" 

Israeli soldiers also regularly arrest and detain Palestinians as young as 4 years old without due process. 

This is an abject lie. Many times children have been detained and removed from areas of violence because their parents have allowed them to be used by demonstrators in acts of violence. I refer you to the #payforslay policies of the
Palestinian Authority where Palestinian Youth are encourage to commit acts of violence and murder.

Everyday, Palestinians are forced to walk through military checkpoints along the US-funded apartheid wall.

Have you ever noticed that those saying this never mentioned WHY the "security wall" was erected?

Nary a mention is given that prior to the horrific wave of suicide bombers released by Yasser Arafat on innocent Israeli civilians despite the Oslo Accords-see chart. Thousands of Palestinians crossed into Israel on a daily basis with almost no checkpoints nor barriers. 

These detractors consistently fail to mention that many countries of the world have constructed barriers to prevent terrorism, drug smuggling and illegal immigration -see meme.

Upon reading this I can readily envisage the image of that ridiculous Minion with a stupefied look when one reads this utterly falsified anti-Zionist propaganda!
