Is it 2007 or 1507?

Written by Ryan Dawson | AntiNeocons.com

When I was younger, sitting in history class I often wondered how, just how such things like slavery and genocide could be justified by racism and bigotry. I wondered how people could be so stupid and crule and why everyone did not cry out about it. How could human beings change up Africans, cram them into tiny spaces in boats force them to be huddled in their own waste, sick, starving, beaten, and then subjected to animal like slavery. I sat in disgust wondering how a government of people intelligent enough to cross and navigate the Atlantic Ocean could be so blind and sick as to reward people with momey to murder American Indians and chop off the tops of their heads like trophies. It is 2007 and we still have indirect slavery and wage slavery but no longer can slavery be practiced just as open as selling a car or a horse as it once was. The age of ethnic cleanings and colonialism are behind us right? Well mostly. The rest of the world has ended colonial practices from a hundred years ago.

But not in Israel.

As Jimmy Carter put it, "...I equated the ejection of Palestinians from their previous homeswithin the State of Israel to the forcing on Lower Creek Indians from Georgia land where our family farm was now located; they had been moved west to Oklahoma on the "Trail of Tears" to make room for our white ancestors."-p27-28 Palestine Peace Not Apartheid.

Worst yet is how the media will not acknowledge this. Average Americans are totally in the dark about Israel's racial colonies and how Jews and Arabs cannot go to the same high schools or even drive on the same roads. A modern army can attack civilians, sometimes just randomly launching grenades into neighborhoods, sometimes helicopters shooting rockets into homes and automobiles. Palestinians have their homes demolished and are forced to leave or die, then their homes are replaced by US paid for Jew-only settlements (the meaning of the word Jew here being a concept of race not a religion although it overlaps). But if you point out fascism some how its you who is racist for not supprting the Zioist claim that ethnic cleansing is OK because you see "God" promised all the land of Israel to "His" people the Jews. Never mind Muslims controlling Jerusalem from 1187 to the end of World War one. They would go so far as to tell you Palestine never existed. This is the occupation but it is so horrible that Americans can not believe it. If it was true and so bad then they reason that there is no way it would be covered up. If it was true it would be on the news. Well it is on the news, just not American News. This attitude that "the news" can filter all of reality is very dangerous.

I always thought how could things happen like this? How could so many people just not care and sit and do nothing. If I lived in the past I would have fought the slave trade, the nazis, the colonialists, etc. But if a person does not stand up to it today then they can not claim that for the past. People today who support the occupation would have supported the Nazis, the Indian killers, the slaver trade, the inquisition etc. The problem with people is authoritarianism. They do and think as the state or the "news" tell them to think.

Because the US media utterly refuses to explain this issue in any terms other than out right deceptions, much like they did the pre-invasion intelligence with the Iraq War, I feel it is necessary for me to spell it out. Israel is not defending itself any more than the US "defended" itself from the Apache Indians. Israel is an aggressive state which has set up racial colonies outside its borders by demolishing homes and murdering civilians under the pretext of fighting militants who they will not acknowledge are a response to their illegal military occupation and countless aggressions.

Israel has been caught spying on the US through AIPAC by using a mole in the DOD Larry Franklin who has already been sentenced to 12 years in jail. It was a group of Israeli firsters who formed the secretive Office of Special Plans run from under the office of Douglas Feith and Richard Perle two Neoconservatives who were authors of the Israeli Clean Break papers submitted to the Former Prime Minister of Israel Bejarmin Netanyahu. These policy papers pacifically call for a war with Iraq. They state:

"Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq — an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right — as a means of foiling Syria's regional ambitions."

Furthermore, the Office of special plans was the source of the mistaken, pre-invasion intelligence on Iraq. I would go farther than saying it was more than just mistaken intelligence. I would say we have evidence to prove it was conscious fabrications.

Richard Perle was also part of the Zionist think tank known as PNAC which also called for a war in Iraq as a first step in a greater global ambition. PNAC authors included Perle and also the likes of Paul Wolfowitz and his former student who is on trial for the Plame Affair Lewis "scooter" Libby, Cheney's former Chief of Staff and OSP member. Libby is a key to taking this cabal down because he has been indicted for ousting a CIA agent something Perle was in trouble for back in the 70s when he and Wolfowitz worked for Senator Henry Jackson of Washington.

We know that Valarie Plame's team worked on tracking nuclear weapons proliferation. When she was uncovered so was her front company BJA and as a consequence so were the other agents using that front. Libby has already admitted to being ordered by Cheney and Bush to leak Plame's information to the press. (Judith Miller and Robert Novak.) David Wurmser has also already admitted that the orders came from Cheney and for the record Wurmser has also been questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for his possible role in leaking U.S. security secrets to Israel. It's an air tight case and the trial starts Jan 2007 assuming the date isn't moved like the AIPAC trial dates has been moved (currenty 5 times). The motives for this scrable to blow the CIA agent's cover were of course to prevent her team from debunking a wild lie about Iraq's nuclear ambitions which were based on crude a crude forgery. The Niger Forgeries are a concrete case for impeachment, as it was well known that this intelligence was a fraud and yet Bush continued to parrot the fear mongering about yellowcake Uranium in his speeches well after the CIA knew that the claims were false.

The greater question is who forged the documents? Well we know who the documents were passed to and we know who made the cover up and that was the OSP. And we know who revealed Valarie Plame in order prevent her team from undermining the false claims about Iraq's WMD and alleged purchases of uranium.

We know that this bogus intelligence, the attempted cover up, and the outing of clandestine agents all came for the OSP which was formed by the same PNAC think-tank members who wrote policy papers for Israel as well as the US with the same goals, particularly the desire for regime change in Iraq which had nothing to do with 911 or the war on terrorism.

We can see Israel is still lying about Iran and the AIPAC shills in congress are parroting the orders of this massive lobby in a pathetic display of plutocracy. I will not support a country which recently invaded Lebanon and purposely targeted civilians and did billions in damage to Lebanese infrastructure.

Israel was the first country ever to use DU (depleted Uranium) which kills indiscriminately and even effects unborn children.

They have openly admitted to using it in Lebanon, it's in the Israeli papers, as well as the use of cluster bombs and landmines. I do not think that Israel is protecting its security interest by invading nations and committing their own acts of terrorism. The Gaza Strip has been reduced to prison like conditions thanks to Israel's collective punishment and total disregard for international laws.

Israel openly is building what senator Hillary Clinton calls a security fence, but is in reality an apartheid wall. First off, the wall, and it is certainly a wall, is not even on the Green line. It is not on Israel's boarder; it cuts deep into the West Bank, effectively creating a land grab by cutting off a portion of Palestine from the rest of it. They are sandwiching a swath or territory between the Israeli boarder and the apartheid wall which is already being peppered with racial/ethnic settlements of religious fanatics who hold the ridiculous belief that "God" gave then the land they are stealing and murdering people to take.
If there is to be security Israel should end its brutal occupation and we should return to the Oslo Accords and Two state solution. The US is not going to stop aid to Israel because it is too large of a cash-cow for the MIC. However Churches and Universities could divest from the companies involved in the occupation the same way we had a divestment campaign targeting the apartheid state of South Africa. The Christians in general overwhelmingly want to divest from Israel, but the leadership won't do it. They are making far too much money.

What I am asking of you, is to bring the dialog about Israel to the floor and force the issue beyond the pro-Israel mantras and baseless accusations of anti-Semitism. Talk with your family and friends. It is not wrong to oppose people who poison others with DU and who murder an indigenous population for the sake of land supposedly granted by god. It sounds a lot like what the US did to American Indians, killing people for land and claiming it was Manifest Destiny. The US needs to redeem itself of its most regretful and horrible history by supporting the Palestinian people.

We do not have to support militant groups or religious fanatics of the other side either. It is a false paradigm to see only the Zionists and the Islamic extremists as the options. Plenty of the people of Israel and Palestine stand against house demolitions and want an end to the occupation. There can be no peace so long as there is an occupation.

No country on earth welcomes an invading army that destroys their homes and shoots their children. Palestine should not react to state sponsored terrorism with terrorism however what can you expect from people who don't even have access to adequate drinking water and who have been ignored by the international community largely because the US will veto (in solo) resolutions against Israel.

Stop the war, and stop aid to Israel. Register AIPAC as a foreign agent, and investigate the criminals in the OSP who lied us into a war with Iraq.
This is what we need to tell our congress.

I do not understand those who are anti-war yet pro-zionist. The reason that the typical American is so in the dark about this issue is because of the US Media and its onwership's relations to the MIC. Is this really 2007? Can it really be 2007 and Yet Israel is building yet another "Settlement" in the West Bank.
