When Israel Is Mighty

UN justice champion Richard Falk targeted (again)
Vengeful Zio-schemers sharpen their knives

The US ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council, Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe, has branded Richard Falk as “unfit to serve in his role as a UN Special Rapporteur.”
It seems that in his role monitoring the occupied Palestinian territories he’s in the habit of expressing views that don’t coincide with the twisted dogma of the pro-Israel lobby and its handmaidens, like Donahoe and Susan Rice, the outgoing US ambassador to the UN and National Security adviser-designate This attack is merely the latest in a long line of attempts to smear, vilify and dump Falk.
Donahoe’s biography on the US mission website includes this high-tone gem. “On the front lines of the Obama administration’s strategy of multilateral engagement to promote democracy and respect for universal human rights, Ambassador Donahoe and the US delegation work to ensure that the courageous voices of human rights defenders from around the globe are heard.”
Yes, but only if they’re singing off the Tel Aviv hymn-sheet, lyrics by Mark Regev, also known as Mark Freiberg, Israel’s Australian-born chief propagandist.
The Israeli Lab and the Palestinian Guinea Pigs
[image error]By Gilad Atzmon
"The Lab" is a new groundbreaking Israeli documentary film that redefines our entire understanding of the Jewish State, its aims, its identity and its global destructive role. I honestly believe that this film is the deepest and most important commentary on Israel.
In ‘The Lab’, Director Yotam Feldman exposes the Israeli military industry and its operation, he interviews some major protagonists within Israel’s ‘security’ trade. He elaborates on the role of the industry within the Israeli society and economy - in the last few years Israeli security exports reached an unprecedented level of $7 billion a year. A full 20% of Israeli exports are military or military related. Approximately 150.000 families in Israel are dependent on that industry. Israel is now the fourth biggest military exporter.
The Lab from Yotam Feldman on Vimeo.
In the last decade, every Israeli military operation led to an immediate sharp increase in sales of Israeli military export around the world: weaponry, systems, intelligence, strategies, doctrines, knowledge and experience.
Feldman provides us with a glimpse into a very organized universe. We visit Israeli weapon fairs around the world but we also see arenas filled to capacity with foreign generals, public officials and diplomats. They are all shopping for Israeli military products. The message is clear, the 7 billion dollars is just part of the story. Israeli military elite is now deeply interwoven with the political and military elite of every country around the globe. This emerging Israeli business buys the Jewish state influence and support.

"The Lab" makes it evidently clear that the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank and Gaza have become test subjects for Israeli tactics, weaponry and fighting philosophy (‘Fighting Torah’, Torat Lechima - as the Israelis call it). The destruction of the Palestinians has now been transformed into a very profitable industry. We are dealing here with nothing short of highly calculated murder.

Palestine Solidarity Campaign Infiltrated by Zionists
By Laura Stuart
Today as I was searching pro Israel /anti Muslim websites I discovered that Stand for Peace has been taken over by one Sam Westrop. Hasan Afzal the previous leader and owner of the British Muslims for Israel website has apparently stepped down from his role of hypocritically claiming to stand for freedom of speech whilst running campaigns to prevent Muslim clerics from speaking at venues up and down the U.K.
So who is Sam Westrop? We can read all about him in this piece in the Jewish Telegraph last year. “Only 22, but Sam leads fight against the Israel bashers
Not only is he an avid Israel supporter he also makes the following astounding statement
"We have people inside the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. We know a lot of stuff before it's announced. We stop societies from inviting them.":-
Those of us who have observed the P.S.C. becoming ever more kosher and increasingly involved in 
Zionist issues will not be at all surprised.

Abunimah and Atzmon at the UN
[image error]By Gilad Atzmon
I was amused and proud to see my latest book The Wandering Who held aloft by Israeli chief Sayan Hilllel Neuer at the UN’s Human Right Council. The book was presented as ‘exhibit B’ in a farcical self-appointed Talmudic kangaroo court against the great Professor Richard Falk who lent his name, amongst many other leading humanists and intellectuals, in support of my work.

Organ trafficking & Israel - A message from Alison Weir
Many Israel-tilting individuals, both in the pro-Israel movement and in the pro-Palestine movement, complain about my 2 articles (here and here) exposing Israeli organ-trafficking – ignoring the fact that this practice is so widespread!
(Surprisingly, before my articles came out, even the Electronic Intifada scoffed at the subject.)
Here's the latest news report on the topic:
Israeli arrested in Rome for organ trafficking
Man escaped from Brazil while on leave from prison in 2009, after being convicted of leading a kidney purchasing ring

Italian border authorities arrested 77-year-old Israeli citizen Gedaliah Taub on Friday on suspicion of international human organ trafficking. Taub was detained at the Rome airport after officials determined his passport was forged.
Rome police told Maariv that Brazil had issued an international arrest warrant for Taub after he fled the South American country in 2009 during a leave from prison, where he was serving a nine-year sentence for organ trafficking.
Taub reportedly arrived in Rome on Thursday and presented the border officials his Israeli passport. The official noted that Taub was behaving anxiously and upon further inspection, discovered that the date of birth on the passport had been altered. The Israeli citizen was taken for questioning and his fingerprints were run in an international database, which revealed that he was wanted in Brazil. A search of his belongings further revealed that he was carrying multiple passports as well as a knife. Taub was promptly arrested and sent to a local jail where he awaits extradition to Brazil.
"You look like a bloody Jew"
British MP, Patrick Mercer was shot by a hidden camera and told how on a visit to Israel he called an Israeli soldier "a bloody Jew."
Due to the report, Mercer resigned from the Conservative Party and stated he will not stand for re-election.
Watch your mouth, big brother is listening. You cannot hide anymore...

Identity politics - Gilad Atzmon vs Ray Keenoy @ The Albion Beatnik Bookstore
By Tom Fry
On the 4th June 2013, a group gathered at The Albion Beatnik Bookstore, Oxford, to see Gilad Atzmon present a screening of his new film; "Gilad And All That Jazz". It was an opportunity to hear him philosophise upon themes from his recent internationally acclaimed book; "The Wandering Who?" and maybe gain an insight to the man behind the documentary.
I often wonder, so wandered in, full of it. Wonderful. Happy days..
Beatnik books; being a cool and hip kinda place, was warm, cosy and inviting. Hand-painted bench-tables and instruments of the arts scattered the bifurcated feng shui. A faint sniff of sandal-wax hung like cinnamon in the heavy summer air as dusky acquaintances were made and inadequacies pardoned, this was Oxford, I'm no academic, just a regular schmo with a camera and a smile, and a low slung hat with a plastic feather. I slid into a spot at the front near the niche, possibly a nook, and parked my arse in a steam pressed high back to recover my breath. I'm a low altitude kinda guy.
Dennis Harrison was a marvellous host for the evening. He provided tea that was, as Ray so delightfully put it, "unique in having both laxative and aphrodisiac properties." Which meant unthinkingly that I, sat behind the camera, needed the loo like crazy for over an hour while loving every minute but I digress, and yes, the Albion Beatnik introduced the evenings events charmingly.
Gilad, once introduced, seemed willing to rush straight to the screening so that we could all get out of there to go to the jazz that was to be playing just up the road later on, so he undertook to precis the book and propose a discourse in one paragraph.
Next on the rostrum, there was to be a short prebuttal** by Ray Keenoy, then a Q&A before Gilad was to expound, but..
With a sheaf of notes flapping it was only halfway through Ray's monumental thirty-three-and-a-half-minute monologue that things started getting interesting. Twas a cross legged tea torture that one might describe as; part educational, part critique, part epic, part genetic analysis and mostly discussing a different set of interests entirely.
Sixteen minutes in, Gilad had had enough of his name being misattributed to points of unfact, a whole sweep of projected supposition, parallel arguments and antagonistic analogy, so he piped up and said so.
The results are amusing. Oh, and thought provoking, naturally.
