MSM: 'Ordinary' Arab-Islamic bigots are "protesters"

MSM: 'Ordinary' Arab-Islamic bigots are "protesters"



When the MSM calls 'ordinary' Islamofascism - "protest"



It's quite sickening when I watch BBC, CNN and others. Describing the anti-Israel vandals in Egypt [Sep. 2011] as "innocent protesters."



As if the 'ordinary' Islamo-Arabs lay out specific demands, certain details to be met.



Let's not skid off the truth, Israel is not welcome at all, in its entirety, even if Israel would spend the whole day giving candies to the Arabs.
Speaking of 'giving.' What exactly was the outcome when Israel gave, for example, Gaza, whereas Arab-Palestinians, never in history 'had' anything in the area - as a matter of fact? Only more Islamization, more Hamas acceptance [which was voted in following Israel's give-away] and pro-violence that targets innocent civilians, especially Israeli children. So let's not fool ourselves that Israeli's so-called "policies" are the real reasons.


Of course there will always be incidents [Arab-Palestinians have quite an easy job in creating incidents, all they have to do is shoot behind civilians upon Israelis], which will serve as matches. But the gasoline is there, "Arab children are taught hatred of the Jews from their mother's milk"* *.



Or as a writer has put it:
Their complaints are pure hypocrisy anyway. The Islamic world does not hate Israel because they care about the human rights of the Palestinians. If they cared about human rights they would have human rights in their own countries. The Islamic world hates Israel because, well, essentially because they are Jews. If they were Muslims, doing exactly the same things, no one in the Arab world would care. The main reason people focus on Israel is because it involves Jews.

Fact is, as a writer in the WSJ writes: Muslim Judeophobia is not-as is commonly claimed-a reaction to the Mideast conflict but one of its main "root causes." It has been fueling Arab rejection of a Jewish state long before Israel's creation.


Speaking of Islamism -specifically- in Egypt, Egyptian Cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya'qoub: The Jews Are the Enemies of Muslims Regardless of the Occupation of Palestine,... they are infidels



Take for example the cruel long Arab-Islamic racist boycott of Israel. Portrayed in MSM as some "activism..."
This antecedent movement is unabashedly anti-Semitic and racist, having started with a de facto boycott as early as 1922 against Jewish interests, not Israeli interests, 26 years prior to the establishment of the State of Israel.


The Arab League Council formally instated a boycott on December 2, 1945: "Jewish products and manufactured goods shall be considered undesirable to the Arab countries". That, might I remind you, is a little less than 3 years before the establishment of the State of Israel and 22 years before the "occupation" began following the 6-Day War in 1967.
The Arab-League Boycott and the modern DFI are not one in the same; however, they share the same ideological roots of racism and anti-Semitism towards anyone from Israel. During the initial years of the Arab-League Boycott, all products, whether made by Jew or Arab were boycotted...


Author:
Despite Israel's lack of importance and despite the weakness of the moral charges against it, Israel is an outcast. Israeli nationalism - Zionism - has been declared racism. The Arab League enforces secondary and tertiary boycotts against Israel. Jews may not enter Saudi Arabia, except for American soldiers. Malaysia forbids the performance of "Jewish" music. This endless policy of boycott and non-recognition is officially the policy of most Arab states. Countries like Libya... Saudi Arabia have never suggested that they would make peace if Israel did X or Y or Z. Their opposition to Israel, supported by leftists everywhere in the world, is one of permanent enmity. Since such a stance excludes the possibility of peace, it is implicitly genocidal and therefore radically evil.

In a classical example, an ardent anti-Israel "advocate", who has -for a long time- called for a boycott of Israeli goods, jumped to the next step by calling (in 2009): "Do not buy anything from businesses run by the Jewish community."


Arab cartoons portray Jews [not just "Israelis"] as non-humans. Influenced much by hate sermons along the Islamic "apes and pigs" * canard.



Best selling author:
It's about the bigotry ... Make no mistake: Arab racism is killing Jews. These bigoted myths and conspiracy theories brainwash Palestinian children to commit suicide bombings against Jews. Innocent children play death games, such as collecting "martyr" cards with pictures of suicide bombers."

The Goliath Arab-Islamic Jew-hatred [anti-Semitism] is sad, horrifying. Suffice to see some translations from Arabic in MEMRI and in ADL's documentation.* * *.


Conclusion: to the MSM, quit politicizing their deep blind hatred. There will never be peace as ,long as hate-education exist - the real problem. It may be more against Jews but it never stops there. An inscription in Arabic written on a picture of the PLO flag was drawn on a church top near the platform where the bishop spoke. It read: 'On Saturday we [the Muslims] shall kill the Jews and on Sunday we shall kill the Christians'. In fact the Muslims of the region have long referred derisively and threateningly to the 'Saturday people' and the 'Sunday people'.

Twisted Zakaria compares Genocidal “Palestinians” [Hamas] to IRA

Twisted Zakaria compares Genocidal “Palestinians” [Hamas] to IRA


He just spinned on CNN, about his anti Israel column in the lefty ‘Washington Post’ (damning B. Netanyahu, who was rightfully cheered at in Congress) answering to Elliot Spitzer (The Arena [http://inthearena.blogs.cnn.com/]) about Israel's reservation not to negotiate with the Palestinian Arabs that have just joined “unity” Fatah-Hamas, as Hamas is a terrorist organization committed to violence, Fareed’s answer was, so was the IRA...


Not mentioning the vast difference between a small group of terror [bad as it is] VS the Arab-Palestinians who are committed to annihilation of Jews under Islamic banner and under Arabism, from the Mufti in the 1920s (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/hebron29.html ) and in the 1940s (http://books.google.com/books?id=GD3M7pzEm7QC&pg=PA290), through Arafat/Fatah and Hamas.








Some examples:


A Hamas sermon on sloughtering the Jews


http://www.terrorism-info.org.il/malam_multimedia/English/eng_n/html/hamas_e_sermon.htm


In February 2010 report: ‘Fatah/PA TV Nazi-Like Sermon: “Fight The Jews & Kill Them — They Are Enemies Of Humanity & Allah”’


http://www.zoa.org/sitedocuments/pressrelease_view.asp?pressreleaseID=1809


The intended creation of a blurry picture between violence (as horrific as it is) to someone committed to total annihilation is a usual anti-Israel bigoted trick.


Note: The IRA never has a [declared] campaign of annihilating the British people as a whole.

Tips to posters on public forums fighting anti-Israel bigotry



Tips to posters on public forums fighting anti-Israel bigotry






IMPOSTORS



* Arab, Muslim posters have been known for being impostors, posing as "Christians," as "white Nazis," even as "Jews."



* True, there are some radicals in the west, that post against Israel, yet, the overwhelming majority of the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish posters, today, are Muslims.



* Anti-Israel posters --like anti-Israel bigoted "activists"-- cover their intolerance-agenda by "worrying" about "poor Palestinians," which in reality, no one could care.





PRO-PALESTINIAN IS A SHAM - ITS ANTI-ISRAEL





Don't buy the "pro-Israel" face, its never about caring FOR Arab Palestinians, otherwise they would divert all the energy in helping them get out of their self-inflicted  misery, instead they try very hard to damn Israel in front of cameras and making anti Israel headlines in the media, it's just easier to go against Israel in a frame of "pro Palestine activism."

Real pro-Palestinianism is almost an extinct specie.





CASUALTIES




[BODY COUNT IS NOT ALWAYS TELLING WHO THE VICTIM IS]



* What would have happened if 'mighty' Israel's army wouldn't be so humane and careful about Arab civilian lives?  The question is not how many would die, but, How many would survive?



* What would happen if the Arab Muslims would be so successful military-wise, would there be an Israel? or how many God-forbid Jews would have perished in their ultimate genocide goal?



* If the Arab-Muslims (Palestinian or Hezbollah) hadn't used their civilian population, would there still be "massacres," as they like to call it?



* Who are the targets of the Arab-Muslims? Army personal, or predominantly unarmed Israeli men, women & children?





DAVID VS GOLIATH



* Did you get a chance to look at the N.E. map lately? who's threatening whom? including the "misunderstood" genocidal Islamic president in Tehran seeking to wipe off map 7,000,000 ?



* Arab Palestinians possess a much more powerful weapon, Israelis don't have, as Israeli soldiers' hands are tied every time there's a crowd of unarmed Arabs, the cynical terrorists surround themselves by.





DETECTING BIGOTRY LURKING BEHIND "INNOCENT CRITICISM"



Pay attention to those that in the habit of:



* Highlighting any rare abuse case by an Israeli policeman, more than in such cases when occurring in the west.



* Obsession about Israel, singling it out.



* Demonization of all of Israel, the entire state/society/nation.

"Seeing" women & children only on the Arab side and 'seeing' all of Israel as nothing but one big "tank." [This dehumanization can be detected easily through the lines, of never admitting of Israeli suffering].



* The racism of labeling all Israel does as 'racist.' mainly, ignoring the real picture of Israel's fight for survival - constantly.



* Simple, crude lies about Israel's democratic system (albeit, this might be tricky, many are simply unaware and plain ignorant, in that case it might not be intentional).





RACISM?



* Unlike the scene of the Arab-Palestine side, Israel's a cosmopolitan country, society, with colors, races raging from the whitest of whites to the darkest of blacks.



* Israelis, Jews or Arabs are equally subject to check points, security -saving lives, is what motivates Israel's policy, always, though the frequency of 'checkpoints' on roads, are stricter and more scrutinizing in the Palestinian-Arab areas, where terrorism is more frequent.



* What motivates Arabs,Muslims to target Jewish civilians (excluding Arab Israelis) just for being Jews? Is it not Arab racism & Islamic bigotry?



* What were the excuses of the Arab-Muslims in 1929 Hebron massacre on the verge to 'kill Jews.' was it the "occupation" of almost 40 Years later?



* Can you point to me 25% of Arab Palestine to being non-Arab, as a parallel in pluralistic democratic Israel where its 25% Arab population have full rights?

Or any Jew is prohibited from residing in racist apartheid Jew-free Arab-Palestine?



* Point to me a group, organization equivalent of B'tzelem or any other Jewish Israeli human rights groups advocating on behalf of Arabs, Is there anyone on the 100% racist Arab side that cares about Jews?





RACE, ARAB RACISM & "SEMITES"



* If there's such a thing as "race," then, Arab Israelis and Arab-Palestinians are of the same "race." Even Jimmy Carter (who used the "apartheid" slur in his book after he was paid by the Arab lobby) admitted on CNN (Larry King Live) that Israel is a free and equal democracy for Arabs & Jews alike.



* If Arabs are pure "Semites" can be disputed, however, anti-Semitism, historically was always referred to anti-Jewish bigotry, exclusively, [come to think of it, if Arabs are in fact "semites," then Zionism can never be "racism," the hypocrite racists Arabism can't have it both ways], in reality, racism is in one's mind, as long as the Arabs see the Jews as a separate creed and hate it blindly, they are the true racists. Sorry, but they just can't hide under "we are Semites" crap.

Virtually all minorities in the Arab world are effected one way or another (through violence, persecution or "plain" discrimination) from Arab racism, Kurds by Syria currently, by Iraq mainly under pan Arab racist: Saddam Hussein), Assyrians, pre-Arab invasion true indigenous Lebanese (Phoenicians), indigenous N. Africans (Berbers), Persians (Iranian), Blacks (in Sudan, Mauritania and in Arab countries), Copts (indigenous Egyptians), Jews, Asian maids (slaves - rather) in the gulf states, etc.





RELIGION AND THE BIGOTRY BY ISLAMISTS



* Israeli society is not religious, most IDF soldiers are secular, Israel's policy is monitored by security issues and realism only.



Arab-Palestine society is by in large religiously Muslim. So is the "conflict" from their point of view. The "Allah u Akbar" when (attempting in) massacring Jews is a Muslim thing, of course.



In fact, Jews are hardly the only ones, fallen prey to the religious intolerance by Muslims, virtually all non-Muslims in the Muslim world, and many, even beyond, have been effected (more noticeably, Christians in the middle east and in Asia, non-Muslim Chinese in Indonesia, Hindus in India, Buddhists in S. Thailand, and Bahai in Iran) either by direct terror violence, expantionist Jihadism, religious fanaticism and any part of Islamists' attempts in their Islamicizing the globe [by any means necessary] goal.



A tiny note, in Judaism, there's no call to convert anyone to Judaism, tolerant Judaism says you don't have to be a Jew in order to enter heaven. (see: Noahide laws).



Sorry, but 'all religious extremism' today are NOT all alike.



* The most extremist Zionist will only reach its "peak" to an attitude of asking Arab Palestinians who won't accept Israel's state and rule, to just leave the area towards Jordan (which was the original Transjordan-Palestine idea, to grant the Arabs, this idea by the very tiny minority among radicals is also known as "transfer"), nothing resembling that total genocide aim by their Islamic counterparts.



* A 2007 poll of Palestinians, where 75% don't "give" Israel a right to exist, speaks volume of the radicalism in mainstream Arab-Palestine VS Israelis that by-in-large are even willing to go the extra mile and give the Arabs another state, a new one, which never existed before in history, an 'Arab-Palestine,' on top of the already 22 Arab states.



Try to conduct a poll about Jews in any moderate Arab country (as a matter of fact, a few years back, PEW's finding about attitudes towards Jews in such an Arab country like Jordan, showed 100% negative) or street, you might already guess what you're about to find out about mainstream Arab-Muslim bigotry.



Also, that despicable diabolic Islamic mythology of dehumanization of non-Muslims, like: 'Christians are pigs and Jews are apes,' [often shown in Palestinian media, and Mosques and in Saudi Arabian schools] is exclusively that, Islamic.





IT DIDN'T START IN 1948



The usual Palestine-song is "all was fine until the (re)establishment of Israel in 1948'

Fact: Arabs, Muslims have been attacking the Jews of Palestine in 1834 (Safed, many indigenous Jews - victims of a massacre & mass rape campaign of 33 days), 1920 (Jerusalem, and other locations), 1929 (Hebron massacre), 1939 (Tiberias), etc.





CAUSE = INTOLERANCE



It [historic perspective] matters, because the root cause was never about land, but about intolerance. Though the slogans sometimes change, according to the conditions, providing any "updated" excuses.

The Satanic Arab-Muslim theme running through their childhood education and inspirational religious icons are along the lines of: "Jews are not humans," and 'Kill a Jew - go to heaven' doesn't exist in the Jewish education system.





INDIGENOUS "PALESTINIANS" FROM... ARABIA, SYRIA & EGYPT



Prompted by that racist Arab Helen Thomas' outburst of calling to an ethnic cleansing of Jews (June, 2010), we should all remember and remind everyone else, to the true origin of Palestinian Arabs, who were (previously) either called Arabs or S. Syrians, where their majority's roots are from, some have migrated from Egypt, S. Arabia and other regional Arabian zones.

The two major differences between both immigrations are, 1) The Jewish immigration was highlighted, scrutinized and restricted by the British, while the Arab migration was allowed to flow and not even recorded so frequently. (It might have been a result of attempting to appease the Arab population).

2) [Unlike Arab relatively new history in the area] There was always a Jewish presence in the area, it is a well known fact that some Jews in Pekiin (for example) have stayed for all the generations, dating back 2,000 years, to the destruction of the second Jewish temple by the Romans who changed the name Israel to "Palestine."



Don't be fooled by such ideas like: color, as Arab Palestinians are "brown" so they must be from there... and yes, over 50% of Israeli Jews are of "brown" color as well.


A note about posters "inspired" by Nazi-hate sites.



1) FACTS?

Yes, we have all seen the crappy "facts" the "jew watchers" haters put up, never highlighting what Jews by-in-large help around the world in an over-representative way, like over 2/3 of their donations are to non-Jewish causes, or doctors without borders, helping the homeless, feeding the poor, or in any humanitarian cause where the Jewish minority in the world is so PROMINANT and over represented, but they will highlight ONE (out of thousands, or even in a larger ratio) dubious obscure "story" [true or false] of a person, that may, or may not be connected to a "jewish" origin, Well, that's what hate is for.



2) INFERIOR ARAB RACE & NAZIS
The amazing thing is how such low life losers-Muslims are involeved in the "white nazi oroginated" supremacy sites, as we all know how Hitler has regarded the Arabs as a inferior race almost as LOW as the Jews, he saw them as half apes... he only managed to use the Arab Muslim nazi Mufti in his war against the Jews, but he would have burned them all in the oven, after that... of course.



3) NON-JEWISH COMMUNISTS & WHITE CHRISTIAN JOSEPH STALIN
Most of the communist were non Jews, but why not blame anything you can think of on the MINORITY Jews? While the awful truth is, the butcher of those so many Christians, Joseph Stalin was rather a white Christian who studied to be a PRIEST, he especially persecuted the Jews, very much so.



4) FAKE QUOTES
They also like to repeatedly quote the FAKE (or out-of-context) "quotes" of the Talmud (already exposed many times over), when they will NEVER quote the real peaceful humanitarian quotes of the Talmud.
Nevermind that most Israelis are secular, so is the army and most don't even know what the Talmud says.



5) ARAB CONTROL ON MEDIA & ON U.N.
...Not only are the majority of Jews in the media anti-Israel critics... (remind me again on who's side are CNN journalists or a tycoon like Joe Soros?) but the owners of mainstream media is controlled by such Arab Muslim billionaires as Saudi Bin Talal, checkout how much he owns of the elephant CNN or evn of Foxnews...

That's besides the very "original" pure own Arab media flooding the west like Al Jazeera...

Or BBC? They have admitted openly (a few years back) of being anti-Israel biased, so much for "control in the media."

The case of total ARAB MUSLIM CONTROL in amnesty and in the UN (aided in part by the international Arab oil lobby power), is far worse, which "exlains" the obssessive senseless almost boring "condemnations."

How to be a bigot under the guise of a "critic of Israel"

How to be a bigot under the guise of a "critic of Israel"










  • Try and substitute 'anti-Zionist' instead of anti-Jewish, at least make sure, your references convey such messages.





  • Avoid all humanitarian aspects of Israel's extraordinary humane army in its constant fight against Arabs who trick them into firing upon civilians, ommit all the risky steps Israeli soldiers take in going house to house searching for bombs/bombers, instead of just leveling the place down (if Zionists were not caring about civilians), the repeated notification for residents to leave a certain area ahead of anti-terror operations, in order to give a chance for the unarmed to leave, despite, taking into account that with this opportunity, the dangerous Arab-Islamic mass murderers terrorists might flee as well.





  • Don't ever mention that Israel goes out of its way in treating Israeli Arabs with affirmative action on campus and in employment, besides favoring the Arab side in most court cases.





  • All rare abuses that might occur in any democratic police force around the globe, when in Israel, see to it, you highlight it, again and again.





  • As a general rule, your mission is to dehumanize Israelis, though you'd have an easier job on Israeli soldiers, try to broaden it on ALL Israelis, like "they are all occupying land." including the preferred targets by Arabs, a.k.a. the children. Because only the Arabs have mothers, there are virtually no mothers in Israel, nor kids, each and everyone is a tank or a machine gun, and if someone points out to your racism, object with a passion that you are actually "anti-racist."





  • Keep repeating a sad song about "injured children," make it sound really sad, depending on your acting abilities you might want to show as if you care, keep arguing along the line of: "whoever has lost more lives 'got to be the victim," avoid getting into the dark cult of that self inflicted Palestine/Hezbollah's death industry, never explain how come their parents are converting them (to die or at least to be maimed) into propaganda toys against Israel's image.


    Because there are no victims on the Israeli side, its hospitals are always empty, 27/7 365 days a year.





  • Go "pro." Leave the "anti" out, especially when appearing on camera.


    Titling is almost the first thing about Pallywood or Hezbollahwood propaganda. Though we all know there exist none real 'pro-Palestinian,' your job is to appear as if you are, it makes you appeal better as "innocent" and as an "activist."





  • Always, without exception, Prejudge (prejudice) Israel before you know the facts.





  • When mentioning the children, grandchildren of Arab immigrants, make sure to call them "indigenous palestinians."





  • Never point out the culprit of Arab civilian deaths, facts don't matter, image does (ask those Palestinian-Arabs that pose to cry only when the camera is pointed at them... or Hamas that refuses aid when Israel checks the content of a ship).





  • One good trick in trying to pose as "impartial," see to it that you "admit" to terror attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah, then minimize it as trivial and as committed by a "few extremists," never admit / mention that it's all done by the official regime in Gaza (Hamas) or by the "moderate" Fatah 'Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.'





  • Also, make terrorism a tiny bity part, and of course, needless to say that you cannot let the awful truth of 'anti-Israel campaign of genocide since 1929 Hebron' --(all the failed attempts to wipe Israel off, 'Kill the Jews for Allah' and throw the Jews into the sea)-- ever be heard.





  • Make Islamic Hamas & Islamic Hezbollah sound as "freedom fighters" and as "resistance" to the Zionist "occupation." Don't talk about their charter of eradicating Israel and establishing a (totalitarian) Islamic rule in the entire area, oppressing all, especially non Muslims, mentioning this will only harm your goal.





  • Make it sound as if the Islamic Palestinians and Hezbollah "don't" have any beef against Christians...





  • Try to insert bombastic terminology, like: Racism, apartheid, that every survival step Israel ever takes, is "racist"... it "works" mighty well, especially against the always guilt-ridden self-critic Jews that you hate so much.





    Never-mind that the real racism is on the Arab Islamic side that target any Jews for being Jewish and all (Arabic side of) Palestine zone is virtually ethnically cleansed 'judenrein.' Not to mention the overall racist Apartheid by almost the entire Arab and Muslim world against the tiny Jewish state (take a test and use an Israeli passport in the middle east... not to mention in the Arab hijacked UN and in other international forums, where persecuting little Israel is a routine, or what's up with excluding Israel's 'Star of David' ambulance from the ICRC? Are Jews' blood not red enough in racist Arabs & in Muslim bigots' eyes?).





  • When being an Arab racist, and/or an Islamic bigot (the foundation of anti-Israelism by these racial/ethnic and 'religious' hatred) try to cover it well, for instance, replace "existence" of Israel which you are against (a. k. a. ethhic cleansing or worse, genocide), with "occupation," many fall for it.





  • If you are an average Arab Muslim that hates Arab Palestinians, hide it and pose as "pro palestinian" and that you "ache" for the poor refugees." even though you have a;; the interest in the world for Arab-Palestinians to be suffering, more importantly, that they're seen as victims, it's the ingredient of utmost importance in the anti-Israel campaign.





  • Phrase your rant into "criticism" the most effective one is "I am just criticizing Israel's policy" it works every time (or here's a better one: "Just because I criticize Israel, doesn't make me an anti-Semite.")






PS





The above message is not referring to the real genuine critics of one Israel's policy or another, nor is it to the gullible, mislead, misinformed, but to the average phony "critic" real hater that is obsessed with Israel, singling it out, and prejudge it, never giving it the light of day.

More on the undemocratic anti Israel "critics"

Hey NIF: Criticism is a Democratic Right

By Anne Herzberg Legal adviser of NGO Monitor Sat Feb 12 2010

(http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-EdContributors/Article.aspx?id=167765)

It’s strange that groups claiming to be well-versed in human rights seem so unfamiliar with the concept of free speech.

Those who make a full-time pursuit of criticizing others probably should grow thicker skin. Yet the New Israel Fund (NIF) and its NGO grantees have launched a thin-skinned offensive against an Israeli student group that criticized them. And they have dragged NGO Monitor into the fray.

As soon as Im Tirtzu released its report detailing how Israeli human rights organizations contributed to the Goldstone Report, NIF backers unleashed ad hominem attacks against the student group and against NGO Monitor (though we were not involved in the report). NIF has threatened to sue Im Tirtzu and any newspaper that repeats its findings. It also sent a letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu calling NGO Monitor “the rotten fruit of Israeli democracy.”

The record needs to be set straight regarding many troubling aspects of NIF’s combative reaction. To avert criticism of their activities, many of the non-governmental organizations highlighted in Im Tirtzu’s report - such as B’Tselem, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel - are promoting the canard that if only Israel had cooperated with Richard Goldstone and his UN fact-finding mission on the Gaza war, his report would not have been as outrageously one-sided as it turned out to be.

In truth, there is no evidence that Israeli participation in the Goldstone mission would have changed the outcome of the widely panned report.

Goldstone’s mission was the product of a political war conducted against Israel in the UN Human Rights Council. Led by some of the world’s most abusive regimes - including China, Cuba and Saudi Arabia - this corrupt body has ignored mass atrocities such as the genocide in Darfur, the slaughter of more than 25,000 Sri Lankans and the forced starvation and enslavement of North Koreans. Indeed, the Goldstone mission was created by the Organization of the Islamic Conference to deflect attention from the horrific abuses of its member states and their supporters. In fact, according to the International Criminal Court prosecutor, Goldstone’s mission was financed by the Arab League.

FOR HIS part, Goldstone went along with the farce. Where facts exonerating the IDF existed - whether from the UN, the Israeli Foreign Ministry or independent sources - Goldstone apparently ignored or twisted such evidence, choosing instead to credit Hamas sources.

Israeli NGOs played a central role in laying the foundation for Goldstone’s untenable report. During the fighting in Gaza, these groups issued nonstop allegations of “war crimes,” “collective punishment” and intentional murder of civilians. They delivered countless publications containing speculative and unconfirmed claims used to bolster the HRC’s predetermined conclusions. Much of the Goldstone Report was based directly on these inflammatory charges.

Rather than admit their role, these organizations now seek to absolve themselves of responsibility. While NGO assertions of Goldstone’s fairness are perhaps rooted in naiveté, the attempts by the NIF and its grantees to muzzle critics are far more pernicious. Since NGO Monitor first raised the issue of European government funding for supposedly “nongovernmental” organizations (many of which also receive financial and other support from the NIF), these groups have resorted to childish attacks. They have bizarrely characterized NGO Monitor as “extremist” and “right-wing” (whatever those terms mean), and complained that simply reporting on their funding and activities amounts to “repression of dissent.”

But the right of expression always comes with the potential for disapproval. It is strange that groups claiming to be so well-versed in human rights seem so unfamiliar with the concept of free speech.

These attacks must not divert attention from the massive power that NIF and its beneficiaries wield. NIF has an annual budget of $32 million. Its Israeli grantees also receive tens of millions annually from the EU, European governments, the US-based Ford Foundation and George Soros’s Open Society Institute.

NIF-funded NGOs regularly engage in public relations blitzes, often facilitated by professional media consultants. They hold press conferences, issue glossy publications in multiple languages, and contribute regular op-eds and articles to high-profile media outlets such as Ma’ariv, Haaretz, The New York Times, and Huffington Post. They regularly submit reports at the UN and send representatives to conferences in Europe and America. B’Tselem has a growing lobbying office in Washington and a representative in the UK.

NGO Monitor researchers have analyzed NIF funding practices for years. While the organization does some positive work in Israel that should be applauded, it refuses to engage in debate regarding several of its grantees that demonize Israel at the UN, support boycott and divestment campaigns, promote “lawfare” cases against Israeli officials, and even advocate erasing the Jewish character of the state. Significantly, many NIF donors are unaware of these activities. NIF has rebuffed all of NGO Monitor’s attempts to discuss appropriate “red lines” for the groups they fund.


Perhaps if NIF would stop name-calling and threatening lawsuits, the path would be open for a constructive debate about the role several NIF-supported NGOs have played in the demonization of Israel, and their exploitation by reactionary and totalitarian forces at the UN. Instead of blocking healthy discussion, NIF and its grantees should welcome this conversation - a conversation that would benefit NIF donors, the Israeli public and, ultimately, Israeli democracy.

'Goldstone Report was our smoking gun’
BY ABE SELIG
18/02/2010 23:33


How did Im Tirtzu go from organizing campus demonstrations to compiling a major report that has reverberated into a major scandal?

How did Im Tirtzu-The Second Zionist Revolution, which was created less than four years ago as a small student organization to voice support for IDF reservists, go from organizing campus demonstrations during the Second Lebanon War to compiling a major report that has reverberated into a major scandal?

One of the reasons, The Jerusalem Post learned this week, was that the document the group released last month, now known as the “Im Tirtzu Report,” which listed the New Israel Fund as a main financier of more than a dozen Israeli NGOs – including: The Association for Civil Rights in Israel; Adalah, The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel; Bimkom-Planners for Planning Rights; Gisha-Legal Center for Freedom of Movement; HaMoked-Center for the Defense of the Individual; Physicians for Human Rights-Israel; the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel; and Yesh Din-Volunteers for Human Rights – that provided testimony used in the UN’s Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead, was the result of efforts modeled after military intelligence operations that trace and pinpoint money trails leading to terrorist organizations.

Im Tirtzu head Ronen Shoval, told the Post this week that the detailed report, which has continued to make waves both in civil society and government circles, was “modeled after the way intelligence agencies look into the financing of terror groups.”

“We invested great efforts to understand the funding strategy and ideology behind the NIF, and what we found out is just the tip of the iceberg,” Shoval said, although he declined to elaborate.

While some questions regarding Im Tirtzu’s inspiration and practical use of intelligence tactics remain unanswered, Shoval did say that he and his group had “always known that the [NGOs that reported to the Goldstone Commission] were getting support from the same place, but after the Goldstone Report was released, we saw that they had crossed a red line.

“The Goldstone Report was our smoking gun,” he said. “It showed that these groups were not engaging in constructive criticism, but destructive criticism, and working to harm the state.

“We also knew that the testimonies they gave were highly flawed and often without attributions,” he said. “So it was important for us to research these groups and expose who they’re connected to.

“All we had to do was follow the money,” he continued. “If we were to have gone after these individual groups one at a time, it wouldn’t have been nearly as efficient. Instead, we decided to go after the source – the NIF – because that’s where the money trail kept leading to.”

While the report resulted in increased support for Im Tirtzu – in addition to the massive publicity it produced, Shoval said hundreds of people had joined Im Tirtzu in the weeks since the report’s release – it also became a strong rallying point for the group’s opponents, including the very NGOs the report targeted.

Dozens of newspaper articles and blog postings accusing Im Tirtzu of “McCarthyism” and even “fascism” surfaced in the wake of the report.

Additionally, an advertisement that was published throughout the Hebrew and Israeli English-language dailies, featuring a caricature of NIF chairwoman and former Meretz MK Naomi Chazan with a horn strapped onto her forehead, drew condemnations comparing it to Der Stürmer – drawing a parallel between Im Tirtzu’s efforts and the Nazi weekly used to dehumanize Jews between 1923 and 1945.

Shoval was unapologetic regarding the ad, dismissing the criticisms as “nonsense.”

“Was the ad successful?” Shoval asked. “I know it was, and therefore it didn’t go too far. Sometimes you have to put the truth right in people’s faces.

“It’s interesting that in the name of free speech, [critics of the ad and report] tried to shut us up,” Shoval continued. “But as far as the ad campaign was concerned, we had to figure out how to come out against a group that no one even knew existed. No one knew who the NIF was, but everyone knows Chazan.

“I don’t have anything personal against her,” Shoval said. “But I’d be happy if her group stopped financing these organizations.”

Shoval also rejected the notion that Im Tirtzu had received government support for the report’s creation.

“A lot of groups, including government bodies, support it,” he said of Im Tirtzu’s report. “But it’s not as if we were receiving instructions from above to carry this thing out. Government officials have responded with interest to our findings, simply because they agree that these groups and their actions present a strategic threat.

“For us, we look at this information as an ethical issue, not a legal one,” he added, stressing that he had received thousands of e-mails thanking him for the report.

“People have written me saying things like, ‘Finally, you said what we’ve all wanted to say for so long,’ and, ‘It’s about time someone did this’. I think people have just had enough of what these groups are doing.”

And what it is that these NGOs are doing, Shoval clarified, is undermining the state, and disseminating anti-Zionist tropes into Israeli society.

“Basically, anti-Israel groups, including many in Europe, have found Israelis who are willing to do their dirty work,” he said. “In that vein, this is not a right-wing or left-wing issue. It’s about being a Zionist and supporting Israel as a Jewish state – that’s it.”

And such is the essence of Im Tirtzu, Shoval said. What began as an effort to support IDF soldiers – especially during anti-war protests – on university campuses during the Second Lebanon War, has seen Im Tirtzu come into its own as a forceful movement with thousands of members, and the attention – if not backing – of the government.

“We’re trying to bring back faith in the way of the early Zionists,” Shoval said. “And we’ve been successful because we’re portraying our cause as cool and trendy. We want people to understand what it means to be a Zionist today – why they should stay in Israel, why they should go to the reserves.

“And so,” he continued, “Im Tirtzu began as a way to get back to the basics and present alternatives to all of the anti-Zionist sentiments that are out there.”

Shoval said his group was nowhere near slowing down. As for its success in growing from a small, student-based campus organization into a movement with front-page headlines and Knesset members citing its work, Shoval said luck or being in the right place at the right time had little to do with it.

“From the start, we’ve had very intelligent people on-board, planning out how to make this thing work,” he said.

“We always saw the university campuses as a means to an end, and part of a 10 year plan that would bring us from a student group to an influential force in Israeli society.”

Anti-Israel apartheid: The bigoted campaign to de-legitimize multi-racial & full democratic state of Israel by (lying) branding it as "apartheid"

Anti-Israel apartheid: The bigoted campaign to de-legitimize multi-racial & full democratic state of Israel by (lying) branding it as "apartheid" - the slur originated at the bigoted Arab Muslim society


What drives this "belief" (slur - actually) on a society where Arabs can vote and get to high office, where all colors & races have equal rights?


More troubling how one can not ´see´ the originators of this racist label - coming from the real Apartheid Arab-Muslim states where Jews are either not allowed in (like racist ethnic cleansed "Palestine" authority) & Christians are (real) second class citizens facing persecution, where the natives of the Arab countries (such as the indigenous: Berbers, Copts, Nubians,) or Africans (ranging from slavery & even genocide or at least plain racism, accepted discrimination, etc.), or Asians (especially those in the gulf states, many as slaves) or the Kurds have been/are victims of the Arab-Islamic supremacy & bigotry.


If this bigoted campaign to exclude Jews' legitimacy to their historic homeland, to isolate Israel from all international bodies, or to tarnish all Jews, than what is Apartheid, racism really all about?

Israel Is Not An Apartheid State Even before the State of Israel was established, Jewish leaders consciously... the Arab minority are full citizens with voting rights and representation in the government. Under apartheid black South Africans could not vote and were not citizens of the country in which they are the overwhelming majority of the population.

The Situation in Israel
How much does modern-day Israeli society mirror this dismal record of legalized race-based repression and discrimination? One soon finds that even a superficial glance at the respective situations shows the comparison to be self-evidently absurd. In reality Israel, one of the most multi-racial societies in the world, goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure both tolerance and equality before the law. Its very founding Declaration of Independence specifically mandates complete equality of social and political rights to all inhabitants irrespective of religion, race, or gender.
Jews and non-Jews in Israel attend the same public schools, vote and stand for election together, live side by side in the same residential areas, enjoy the same freedom of movement and job opportunities, make use in equal measure of public amenities such as beaches and parks and can marry or live together with one another as they choose.


Israel’s immigration policies encourage rather than impede the influx of diverse racial groups. Amongst other things, it has facilitated the immigration of some 70,000 Ethiopian Jews and plans to absorb 30,000 more. The vast majority of the Indian and Ethiopian Jewish communities today live in Israel, as do a majority of Jews from Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and other North African and Middle East countries. All, including Circassian, Druze, Kurds, Armenians, Beduin, and other non-Jewish citizens of the Jewish State, enjoy equal rights.


What kind of ‘Apartheid State’ actively seeks to increase its black population (and I don’t mean by importing slaves, either)? As Israeli academic Alex Yacobson points out, there has never been even a Western majority community that has been as willing to accept non-western immigrants to the extent that Israel has. Given that Israel has absorbed nearly a million Jews from Arab countries—who in terms of their ethnicity are essentially Arabs of the Jewish faith—one sees further that Israel has been the most generous of countries with regard to Arab immigration worldwide.1 All this has taken place under the framework of the supposedly ‘racist’ Zionist ideology.


While a measure of discrimination still exists in certain areas, this is in no way comparable to the kind of oppression that existed in South Africa. In any case this is being constantly confronted and eroded through the Israeli courts, in the Knesset, and by both Jewish and Arab NGOs. To compare the inequalities within Israel to those experienced by non-whites in South Africa both unjustly exaggerates Israel’s faults and subtly belittles the iniquities of apartheid. As such, it is a cynical ploy to piggyback on the suffering of others for propaganda purposes.


...Racist attitudes, however, are found to some degree in all countries. The real question that has to be asked is whether that racism is legally sanctioned. That is certainly not the case in Israel.

In apartheid South Africa, by contrast, racism was not merely legally sanctioned but indeed was mandatory. Even whites opposed to such racist policies had no choice but to comply with them. Courts had to enforce apartheid legislation, no matter what the personal feelings of the judges might have been, universities had no choice but to base their admissions policies on racial criteria and businesses could not employ qualified blacks in senior positions.

A few points about the racist UN - Durban “anti-racism” conference


Why Western countries tend to boycott it.



1) Since Muslim nations (OIC & Iran) push to criminalize criticism of Islamists’ bigotry, doesn’t it mean that anything being said in that conference is the opposite of tolerance and of truth?



2) How can the UN avoid the largest practitioner of racism, which is Arabism (against: Kurds, Berbers, Africans, Jews, Assyrians, Asians, etc.), but focuses on the so called “anti-Arab racism”?

[ Arabism is racism! ]


3) When will Arab racists & Islamic bigots let go of the UN and stop hijacking it with it’s lobbies (silencing Arab racist genocide in Darfur, yet daming innocent Israelis who merely try to survive)?



4) Why is Arab terror singling out Jews not racist?



5) Why is the essence of the entire “conflict’” in the M.E. not a form of bigotry by Arab Muslims who can’t “accept” the non Arab non Muslim pluralistic democratic Israel?



6) Are Jews living, or even allowed to live in racist “Palestinian” controlled territories (Judenrein - ethnic cleaning)?



7) When will lefty radicals (Meretz/B’Tzelem) talk about preferential treatments to Arabs OVER Jews inside Israel, like in Hebron and in other cases?



8) Why are (Arab Palestinian or Hezbollah) the ones using its own kids as cannon fodders considered “innocent victims”?



9) Is Israel battling just terrorism or an ARAB MUSLIM CAMPAIGN OF GENOCIDE since the 1920’s?


10) How more racist can the Durban-conference get, If the two oppressive regimes: Libya & Iran are the “stars”?

Libya - whose Muamar Qaddafi (besides his own persecution of non-Arabs, especially blacks in his country) the one of the champions in today’s racist Arabization, and Arabist racism against Africa (whose “vision” has been compared to Hitler’s “lebensraum”), in: Chad, Nigeria, etc., ultimately his crimes in the Sudan region helped in leading the current Al-Bashir’s genocide on Millions of Africans (financed mainly by Libya and S. Arabia).

Iran, the regime of Islamic bigotry’s oppression on its own population with an added special persecution on all on-Muslims: Christians, Baha’i, Jews, etc. or on non-”pure-Persians” like: Ahwazi - Arabs, Kurds, Azeris, Baluchis, etc. now under the leadership of: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [EichmannJihad - the Islamic Hitler] who plays as if he “denies” the holocaust only in order to prepare for (his wishful) the second, “wiping off Israel”.


Thus, the shame of the UN, kidnapped by the epitome of intolerance today, the infamous twin fascism: Arab racism, as in Gadhafi, and Islamic bigotry as in Amadinejad, are going to be “preaching” (and determine) to the world on tolerance.

HRW report on intra–Palestinian abuses includes false allegations against Israel

HRW report on intra–Palestinian abuses includes false allegations against IsraelThe Human Rights Watch (HRW) July 2008, 113-page report, “Internal Fight: Palestinian Abuses in Gaza and the West Bank,” focuses on “serious human rights abuses” by Hamas and Fatah, including torture, summary executions and illegal arrests. While such behavior is well known, it is rarely discussed in the self-proclaimed human rights community, and this major report marks a change from HRW's previous policy of largely ignoring intra-Palestinian violence, while targeting Israel (as documented by NGO Monitor). However, the transition is partial, and includes swipes at Israel in order to create the illusion of political balance, repeating false allegations of “persistent abuses” by Israel (pg. 3), Israeli “violation of international humanitarian law” (13) and “collective punishment” (16) in Gaza. Similar comments were by Sarah Leah Whitson in an Inter Press Service News Agency (IPS) article. HRW’s political bias is also displayed when Hamas’ terrorist organization, which targets Israeli civilians, is described as “traditionally focused on social programs and fighting the Israeli occupation” (54).
The Palestinian NGO Al-Haq also released a report on intra-Palestinian abuse in July, documenting torture and arbitrary detention in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority. The report concludes that the “majority of arrests in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are politically motivated,” and that the “PNA Preventive Security Force and General Intelligence Service” and the “Hamas Executive Force and Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades” are responsible for most of the torture. Amnesty International also made a Public Statement on July 28, 2008, condemning intra-Palestinian violations.
