What Israel does in Gaza is an open act of terrorism. While what exactly constitutes terrorism may vary from one academic or jurisdiction to another, a common denominator usually is the use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. Israelis are way too violent to simply settle with threats, so their acts of terrorism utilize violence as the predominant way to intimidate and coerce. As a direct result, Israel’s political and economical goals are achieved through occupation, oppression, mass destruction, assassinations, kidnappings, deprivation and genocide.

As I told you yesterday, 87% of Israelis support the escalation of the ground war in Gaza. Quoting Washington Post:

A poll this week for Israel’s Channel 10 news, conducted by the Sarid Institute, found that 87% of Jewish Israelis support continuing the Gaza operation. A survey by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 95% of Israeli Jews think the operation in Gaza is just, and 4 of 5 oppose a unilateral withdrawal. Just 4% said the Israeli military has used excessive force.

That’s 95% of Israeli Jews who think indiscriminate acts of terrorism involving ethnic cleansing, destruction of whole neighborhoods, massacre of children and bombing of schools and hospitals are just. Which means that by extension, 95% of Israeli Jews are terrorists, for to openly support acts of terrorism is to be a terrorist.

And even though it would appear that 4% of Israeli Jews are not terrorists, this is not true. The 4% do not oppose Israeli terrorism, they simply think Israeli military is using excessive force. In other words they don’t oppose Israeli terrorism, they just somewhat oppose the all out genocide promoted and justified by their fellow Israelis.

Another important figure to keep in mind is that 100% of Israelis are illegally occupying a sovereign land. 100% of Israelis are also behind the existence and operation of concentration and extermination camps.

When you take all that into an account, then any action which results in death of an Israeli is basically a contribution to world peace because it rids the world of a 94% terrorist and a 100% illegal occupier.

As the Israelis continue to openly call for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and say hospitals and UN shelters are legitimate targets for Israeli rockets, the Israel’s interest in profiting from Gaza’s gas reserves have become quite apparent. The Gaza genocide is every bit a war crime as it is an armed robbery.

Meanwhile, the Israeli propaganda machine has reached a whole new level of deception, after they knowingly lied that Hamas “kidnapped” Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin:

A suicide bomber appeared from a tunnel and in the ensuing melee, Hadar was seen dragged down into the abyss and two soldiers killed. His comrades desperately followed him down into the tunnel but came up only with a part of his shirt. The tunnel led to a mosque. No surprise there.

This occurred while a White House-imposed 72 hour “cease fire” was in effect; the sixth “humanitarian” truce broken by Hamas. The IDF reacted with the Hannibal Directive.

Lt. Hadar Goldin, that soldier Israel swore Hamas “kidnapped”, was actually killed in combat. This lie lead to the collapse of a ceasefire shortly after it had been declared, and as a pretext for the Israelis to kill 150 Palestinians. The White House spokesperson called the (fabricated) kidnapping of the Israeli soldier barbaric, but expressed no bother with Israel killing over 300 children in a month or bombing ambulances and an UNRWA school.

Israeli official added his voice to the calls for concentration camps in Gaza and “the conquest of the entire Gaza Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters“. If you read between the lines, you’ll understand that “annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters” really means “total genocide of Palestinian population”. Human Rights Watch, despite its extreme pro Zionism bias confirmed that Israeli Soldiers shoot and kill fleeing civilians. That reminded me of when Best Gore was brigaded by the JIDF who tried to twist the story of the Palestinian man who was killed by an Israeli sniper while looking for his family.

Also, as Britain’s role in arming Israel became known, the US approved $225 Million in additional funding for the Israeli killing machine. That is of course on top of ongoing Cash, Weapons and Surveillance the US has been providing to back Israeli terrorism.

Take a look at the difference between Gaza and Israel as reported by Haaertz – yes, Israel has slaughtered two thousand people in Gaza, but there are very loud sirens going off near Tel Aviv! Hey… hearing loss is no joking matter!

What they don’t tell you is that Gazans are walled in on all sides except on one where there is the Mediterranean Sea with bloodthirsty genocidal Yahoodi in warships. What they don’t tell you is that Gazans have nowhere to evacuate to and that the whole neighborhoods are carpet bombed – one apartment building after another – no home left unbombed.

Perhaps if they didn’t spend years suicide bombing buses in Jeruselum, they wouldn’t be walled in? Just a thought.

Hey Igor,

Can you post full text. I’ve reached my article limit :confused:

RAG-CLAD boys, proffering plastic bowls and calling out for cash, line the streets of most big cities in Nigeria’s Muslim north. But they are not street kids. These are almajiri children, students of Islamic schools who have been sent from their homes to learn their religion. Almajiri means “immigrant”, signifying that the children come from far and wide to imbibe Islamic values.

In Yola, capital of the north-eastern state of Adamawa, a 12-year-old called Abdul says he was sent by his parents to one such school two years ago and has not seen them since. Early in the morning and at night, he joins more than 100 other students in a shabby hut to recite verses of the Koran. The rest of the day he spends on the street begging for scraps, which he takes back to his mallam, the teacher now responsible for him.

Religious education has a long history in northern Nigeria and in the neighbouring Muslim countries of Niger and Chad. The children of the elite used to pass through almajiri schools, which were once supervised by Nigeria’s northern emirates. But the system which functioned well before colonialism is now broken.

Today these institutions are unregulated and only the poorest enroll in them. Too often, mallams are untrained and incapable of providing a decent level of religious, let alone secular, education. Instead, they milk their pupils for cash. The government estimates that there are 9m almajiri children like Abdul in Nigeria. Some are as young as four when they are sent away from home.

Poor and often illiterate, these boys make easy pickings as recruits for Boko Haram, the extreme Islamic insurgency whose name means “Western education is forbidden” (see article). Locals say that north of Yola, where the fighters have their stronghold, money and religious doctrine are used to tempt poor boys into the terrorist ranks.

“These children are separated from their parents at a young age. Their psyche has been changed, so of course they will be vulnerable,” says Charles Bassey-Eyo of Axiom Learning Solutions, a Lagos-based education consultancy. “It’s not just a risk for terrorism. There are also wider issues such as child trafficking and sexual abuse.”

Aware of the problem, the government has poured millions of dollars into building over 100 almajiri schools with a more modern curriculum in northern states, so that students can get a traditional Koranic education alongside Western-style classes in reading, maths and science, plus vocational training.

The government of Kano state has set up an institute that combines Islamic and Western education. Its students are encouraged to embrace what is best in religious and secular schooling. “Formal education means you can have an even better understanding of the Koran,” says the governor’s spokesman.

But the government is struggling to bring almajiri children into the formal education system because the population is growing so fast, especially among poor Muslim families who marry off girls when they are still in their teens. And too few teachers are capable of melding Western and Koranic curriculums.

Moreover, in some Muslim communities in the north people doubt the merit of Western education, seeing it as a threat to their own traditions, leading even to a kind of enslavement to alien values. Many parents look up to the mallams and would rather not send their children away to boarding schools where they might fall prey to bad modern ideas.

The children often revere their old-style teachers. Some critics say that the government’s effort to create permanent schools is at odds with the often nomadic way of life praised in the almajiri schools. The very meaning of almajiri implies that the more sedentary setting of a modern school makes it less worthy of respect. Abdul says that when he grows up he wants to be like his mallam. But next to him, his friend has a more up-to-date ambition. “I would like to read,” he says.

They didn’t always do that did they? They put down their weapons in Beiut and watched as their defenseless brothers were slaughtered.

Before the blockade they had to stand helplessly as Israel enroached on their land illegaly and blocked their water supply. Seeing as they had no way of going to international courts because they don’t exist as a nation is it any wonder they struck back the only way they could?

There are tons of people thinking here who broadly believe that the bare minimum is allowing investment or declaring the West Bank free.

#128

LOL…international courts.

Yeah, hilarious

An international court’s ruling is only enforceable by acts of war. A little ironic that you’re citing them then, isn’t it? LOL

#133

I wouldn’t trust stuff from a site called IDF blog.com

#134

take the shades of homes, see freedom

your hate for isreal/jews is too much

#135

Exactly buddy, illegally encroaching someones land and limiting their water supply are acts of war. Seeing as none of the more civil channels to settle this are available to the palesteniens because technically they don’t exist what would you propose they do?

PS : That was how the international court started out but it has evolved into something much more including courts for settling world trade disputes etc.

You post a question asking why palestiniens bomb Tel Aviv. Because their land is illegaly occupied, their water is blocked of and when they launch a rocket in defiance they get imposed with brutal sanctions and then watch Isarels leaders deny them any chance of statehood.

Israel has no reason to purposely kill civilians, so tell me again why the did they attack a refugee population that had surrendered and why did they drop cluster bombs in Lebanon and why the fuck have they not been held accountable for those crimes?

You are wasting your breath, I wouldnt have bothered either but today was a slow day. I recommend reading this book, superb. We need to give these people a voice and as long as Palestine is not free it shall never happen

#136

So the long story short is that you believe that Hamas was justified in bombing civilians in Israel, kidnapping soldiers, and otherwise waging war on Israel because Israel had “encroached” on land that you admit is not recognized as independent (and therefore is actually part of the Nation of Israel). But Israel is not justified in responding to those acts of war because…ummmm…I guess Israel deserves to be destroyed? Maybe because it’s a Jewish nation or something?

Got it.

#137

Wrong, Hamas are scum.I just gave you their reasons. They are terrorists. Their methods are despicable and atrocious. Since they have the label as terrorists which they rightly deserve i’m interested as to why you turn the other way saying ‘Israel defends itself’.

How did she defend herself when she went after a refugee population that had surrendered in Beirut, or when she dropped cluster bombs on lebanese civilians or when she blocks the water supply to Gaza or when she commited an act termed as genocide by the UN.

And before spouting shit like this, you should read a bit

But yeah, it’s cause you know we hate the jews and Israel. Yup, that must be it.

Bring the moderates to the table by declaring the West Bank free . That is all, what is happening now solves nothing.

#138

I suspect that is the case since you have no qualms with Palestine-supported Hamas lobbing bombs toward Israeli civilians as a response to “encroachment”, but Israel’s response to bombs with bombs is a “war crime”.

#139

Nope, I despise Hamas.

All i’m saying is to get the moderates to the table, Palestine needs to be free. Not illegaly occupied by another nation.

#140

Isildur, that is fine.

How about that deal. Israel lifts all blocked on Gaza, BUT, if a single rocket wil be fired, it will be consituted as an act of war of independent country and Israel reserves the right to defend itself and defeat opposing nation. Also Israel reserves right (just like Allies did in WW2) to occupy territory and demilitarize it. Also Gaza will pay rapartions in case of defeat.

Deal?
