PEACE? ISRAEL? YOU MUST BE JOKING!; NEOCONS WANT LIBBY PARDONED; NEW AUSSIE JEWISH GROUP BEGINS TO BITE AGAINST HARD RIGHT JEWS; OLMERT LIES OVER WAR

PALESTINIANS OFFER A TRUCE; THE ISRAELIS SAY THEY’LL THINK ABOUT IT!?

Of course, the last thing the right-wing Zionist government of Israel really wants is peace with the Palestinians. Peace will deprive the Israelis of the continued opportunities hostilities provide for the Israelis to accomplish their dream of a Greater Israel which includes the Gaza and the West Bank. While the Palestinians continue to defend their homelands against the Isreali occupier, the Israelis can continue their program of extreme oppression and persecution against the Palestinians as they continue their ethnic cleansing agenda in the Gaza and West Bank. The right-wing Zionist government of Israel doesn’t want peace with the Palestinians; it wants the land that the Palestinians live on.


LIBBY’S CONVICTION HAS SERIOUSLY UPSET THE NEOCONS.

The neocons are demanding that Libby gets a Presidential pardon. They reckon he’s just a victim of politics or, as the editors at National Review Online put it: “…became the target of a politicized prosecution set in motion by bureaucratic infighting and political cowardice.” Pure garbage. The fact is a jury has found him guilty of lying. Not only that, but the lies he told were in support of the lies that were told by his boss, Dick Cheney, that were used to kick off the war against the Iraqi people that has subsequently caused the deaths of some 650,000 people. Time to impeach Cheney as well as Bush and throw Libby in Guatanamo!


NEW AUSTRALIAN JEWISH ANTI RIGHT-WING ZIONIST GROUP STARTS TO MAKE WAVES.

The Jerusalem Post reported that the Australia Israel Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) has said that the newly formed Independent Australian Jewish Voices (IAJV) are just “…a fringe, anti-Zionist minority in Australian Jewry”. Not quite ‘fringe’ enough however, to fail to be noticed by Israel’s leading right-wing national rag. The reality, of course, is that the only Australian Jews out on the fringe are the rather noisy neoconservative warmongering types that are themselves, despite the noise they make, the ones that are in a minority. The vast majority of Jews throughout the worldwide Jewish Diaspora simply want a just peace for Israelis as well as Palestinians without wanting to take Palestinian lands.


AS I SAID AT THE TIME, THE ISRAELI ATTACK ON LEBANON WAS PLANNED WELL IN ADVANCE OF ANY SO-CALLED ‘KIDNAPPING’.

The Jerusalem Post is reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had indeed planned the attack on Lebanon months before two Israeli terrorists were caught inside the Lebanese border. The newspaper says: “Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the Winograd Commission that his decision to respond to the abduction of soldiers with a broad military operation was made as early as March 2006, four months before last summer's Lebanon war broke out.” And also four months before the Israeli soldiers were captured.

The new Jewish lobby group in Australia seems to be attracting a lot of attention (the article you point to, an op-ed in the Fairfax press) but not many members. I think the 'glimmer' you referred to the other day is all it is right now. Definitely still on the fringe for the moment.

Still just a glimmer, but early days yet. It's only just got off the ground.

Two of the rather noisy neocon types I referred to tried to post here in order to belittle the new moderate Jewish groups attempts to get support. Needless to say I put paid to their attempts by deleting their garbage.

As I said, still very early days yet and the new group can expect plenty of attention from the hard right Israeli lobby.

They'll get short thrift here!

I think you mean short shrift. :)

The delete garbage policy is a good one if consistently applied. i have a blog myself and do delete comments from time to time but mainly when they are off the topic of the post.

On the Libby pardon, do you think it would be comparable to the pardons Clinton gave when he left office?

Damian Lataan said...

Anonymous, I think you're right; I'm sure I do mean short shrift.

Clinton pardoned a whole load of people when he left office. Do you have someone specific in mind?

I see more parallels with the Bush snr. pardoning of Elliot Abrams, another neocon liar.

Susan McDougal might be a good example from Clinton's pardon list.

Anonymous, I don't see the parallel. McDougal's crimes weren't politically motivated.

Anonymous said...

I meant the pardon was politically motivated, as Libby's would be in this case.

Damian Lataan said...

Anonymous, for me the pardoning bit is just incidental. Frankly I couldn't really care less whether Libby is pardoned or not. The important issue is the reason for the lies in the first place - not to mention the repurcussions of several hundreds of thousands dead as a result of lies.

That fact alone pales Clintons motivation for pardoning McDougal into insignificance.

Damian, I don't think that we can conclude that 100,000+ dies because of Libby's lies.

Damian Lataan said...

I didn't say Libby's lies caused all those deaths; I said that Libby's lies supported Cheney's lies which did cause all those deaths.

Anonymous said...

You must mean, Bush's lies, right? Cheney doesn't have the power to send anyone to war.

Damian Lataan said...

No, I mean Cheney. It was Cheney that 'stovepiped' the lies up to Bush from the Office of Special Plans headed up by Doug Feith.
