Lordpatch User Info... | Zionism and Terrorism: A visit to Beirut's southern "Dahieh" BY Adib S. Kawar - August 20, 2006 ([email protected]) The sight of the flattened two media stations reminded me of the ever Zionist fear of its enemy, anti Zionist culture and the media, because they divulge their lies and expose its unfounded propaganda, especially by educated Palestinian and other Arab activists... Among those who joined us in the visit was Dr. Anis Sayegh who was the general manager of the Palestinian Research Center... Dr. Sayegh along with the center were targeted three times by Zionist terrorism to silence them, using various means such as rockets, bombs and booby trapped letters... A trapped letter blew up in Dr. Sayegh's face; he lost few fingers and almost fully three of his senses: sight, hearing and smelling. One of the first things the invading Zionist occupation army did during its 1982 invasion of Lebanon was to loot the center's library. full article http://vancouver.indymedia.org/?q=node/2198 http://vancouver.indymedia.org/?q=node/2184 Why America Needs Hezbollah By Ted Rall Hours after a ceasefire halted a five-week war between Israel and Iranian-backed Islamic militias in Lebanon, reported the New York Times, "hundreds of Hezbollah members spread over dozens of villages across southern Lebanon began cleaning, organizing and surveying damage. Men on bulldozers were busy cutting lanes through giant piles of rubble. Roads blocked with the remnants of buildings are now, just a day after a ceasefire began, fully passable." Who cares if Hezbollah is a State Department-designated terrorist organization? Unlike our worthless government, it gets things done! The citizens of New Orleans desperately need Hezbollah's can-do terrorist spirit. Outside the French Quarter tourist zone, writes Jed Horne in The New Republic, what was until 2005 our nation's most charming city and cultural center remains "a disaster zone, an area five times the size of Manhattan." One year after the routine matter of a Gulf Coast hurricane, half the city's population remains refugees--screwed over by a government that hasn't lifted a finger to pretend that it cares. Horne describes "Vast swaths of a city emptied as if by a neutron bomb, with only the fecal brown floodline up under the eaves to suggest what went so very wrong--that, and the ghostly dried brine still coating the dead lawns and landscaping." New Orleans is a dead city. Incredibly, the politicians don't give a damn. full article: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14604.htm Israel: a State built on lies Israel: A State built on lies By Punyapriya Dasgupta Israel has a history not only of trying to cover up its massacres of harmless civilians but of downright lying to camouflage every one of its dark designs. It goes back to the beginning of political Zionism and its "spiritual father", Theodore Herzl (1860-1904) Israel: a State built on lies By Punyapriya Dasgupta 08/19/06 "Information Clearing House [1]" -- - The outcome of Israeli military's own inquiry into Qana II was to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International something far from the truth. HRW said that the massacre of at least 28 Lebanese – mostly children and women -- on July 30 was the "latest product" of Israel's indiscriminating bombing. Amnesty added that Israel had a history of either not investigating civilian deaths or conducting flawed inquiries. It was the same excuse this time as the one Israel offered for the horrific killing of 106 Lebanese refugees and four UN soldiers by artillery fire on a UNIFIL compound at the same village of Qana in Lebanon ten years ago. On both occasions, Israel did not know there were civilians at the targeted points. So pretended Israel's leaders. And they claimed that they were aiming only at Hezbollah each time. Where was Hezbollah? Among so many dead there was not one Hezbollah body nor any relic of its equipment either in 1996 or in 2006. Israel has a history not only of trying to cover up its massacres of harmless civilians but of downright lying to camouflage every one of its dark designs. It goes back to the beginning of political Zionism and its "spiritual father", Theodore Herzl (1860-1904), Hungarian-born journalist, who was fascinated by the French proverb: Qui veut la fin, veut les moyens (he who desires the end, desires the means). In an explanation of what made him start thinking of a Jewish State in Palestine he came out with a doctored view of his own hindsight. He wrote in an essay in defence of his Zionism that during the trial and public humiliation of Dreyfus in France, he had heard crowds shout "Death to the Jews". Herzl had reported the notorious trial of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish captain in the French army, for a Vienna newspaper, a few years earlier. His news dispatches said that the crowds had roared: "Death to the Traitor." Herzl gave away his own game later when he admitted that the Jews in France saw themselves as almost within the social mainstream. ... Herzl spent his final years waiting at the gates of European monarchs and Turkey's Sultan, begging for any kind of a signal for him to carry Occidental civilization to Palestine by turning "this plague-ridden, blighted corner of the Orient" into a Jewish State. He spoke also of "spiriting the penniless Palestinians away" from Palestine. But when an Arab notable in Jerusalem asked him if he was really contemplating driving the Palestinians out of their homes, Herzl wrote: " Who would think of sending them away? It is their well being, their individual wealth which we will increase by bringing in our own. [2]" The forked tongue is a constant in the history of Zionism. full article: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14621.htm http://vancouver.indymedia.org/?q=node/2185 - Sun, 20 Aug 2006 10:08am Edited: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 10:08pm | ||
