Don’t judge Israel’s ‘war crimes’

halgeel84′s comment 24 Mar 09, 9:21am

These days, I find it hard to find the will to comment on blogs that seeks to deny or minimise violence against the Palestinians in the hands of Israel state. I cry for our collective failure to defend the Palestinians. We know what needs to be done- boycott Israel until the state of Israel violence oppression against the Palestinians comes to an end. Thank you the Guardian and other media outlets and their brave journalists do informing us the truth of this not secret inhumanity.

Israel’s new far right

the real question is not so much Lieberman’s racialist ideology as much as it is about who is paying for it, that is who is footing the bill for the making and the sustaing this racial state?

It’s time to rethink Zionism

Thank you Daphna Baram for this. This is one of the best pieces on the P/I conflict I read in a long time. This is a must read essay.

I share your views about the Guardian that that has given the dispossessed a voice, a venue to state their case.Moment like this explains why we all read the Guardian.

A decisive loss for Israel

halgeel84′s comment 22 Jan 09, 12:20pm

thank you Guardian for giving Hamas a voice to state their case. The real issue is not Hamas, the real issue which concerns us all, is Israel’s colonial occupation of Gaza. This racist domination must end. We must do whatever we can, including a worldwide boycott of Israel to force Israel to end its colonial domination of the Palestinian people.

Israel wanted a humanitarian crisis

do you think that three years of Israeli blockade against Palestinians living in Gaza and Israeli state decision rain White Phosphorus on the women and children in Gaza were done in the name of humanity? Do you think that there is a difference between Nazi use of poison gas against Jews, homosexuals and other people considered inferior and Israels use of White Phosphorus against Palestinian women and children? Can you at all see what us happening? What is happening to our sense of justice and our capacity to see the difference between right and wrong?

The facts are clear and what needs to be done are equally clear. Israel is a colonial state and there will be no solution to the suffering of the Palestinians until Israeli colonial occupation of the Palestinian people comes to an end.

The fact this is a colonial relation based on colonial oppression and racist views has been minimized in the western media and so-called progressive Zionists. There must be a worldwide boycott of the Israel and companies which do business with Israel. There must be investigation of Israel war crimes against the Palestinians including the use of banned chemical weapon ,White Phosphorus. We need to end this horrific colonial occupation.

What is Israel’s endgame in Gaza?

halgeel84′s comment 12 Jan 09, 6:03pm

Kill as many Palestinians as it can get away with but that will not help Israel.
Sooner or later, its colonial relation with the Palestinians will have to be addressed…

Obama fiddles while Gaza burns

Israel is a colonial state; only where Canada, the US and Australia have successfully eliminated literally or systematically eliminated native people’s capacity to mount resistance against the colonial classes; Israel will go in the way of the White Supremacist state of South Africa and the France coloniing classes in the Algeria. Palestinians will win at the end. That is why some wise people are calling for a one state solution; the one state solution benefits the colonial classes more the colonised classes.

All these other codes, terrorists, Hamas, Islamic Jihad are nonsense; they do not matter; what matter is the factuality of the colonial relation of power between the colonial state of Israel and the colonised people of Palestine .

Israel’s onslaught on Gaza is a crime that cannot succeed

The solution to this problem, despite world opinion, is actually fairly simple. But for it to work you need full [and fair] US backing, which will never happen as Jewish influence in the US is a major political resource for them

You mean well but you have just demonstrated that you are a victim of a familiar rhetorical circularity. Now, there is way out of this: let us direct our collective effort on the primary source of Israel financial, political and cultural support: United States. A selective and conscious boycott of US made goods and services is the most logical way to bring an end to Israels colonial aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza and elsewhere.

Ngobmbe,

I have supported Obama in the past and will support him in the future and my comments in thus forum not meant hurt Barack Obama. But my support of Obama is not blind! I have enough dignity not follow anybody blindly.. I have enough knowledge about politics and Obama has shown, time and again during these primaries, disregard for the Palestinian suffering; his fear of AIPAC wrath when he has the whole world sheering him is disappointing. What do you think Martin Luther King would have thought of Obama’s politics views towards the Palestinians?

We must speak with dignity and honest. If we fail to do that because of desire for power, then such power will not lead to justice, peace otrprogress. Obama has shown his disregard for of the suffering of Iraqis under American occupation. Obama almost always never addresses the illegal nature of the American invasion of Iraq. Rather he addresses the war as ‘unwise’ from strategic standpoint, Obama is doing this to show his own hawkish interventionist credential,. Do I still support him? Yes,. Do I think he is good person, yes. Do I think he has political convictions, Yes, but strong enough to resist the AIPAC lobby machine, because he must not do that if he wishes to be the President of the United States. But this kills Barack Obama the change candidate! However, I do think that at the end, he will bring more good to American politics.

I do not want to be the American president or the leader of any nation because I do not have the personality to make the necessary comprises for political life. Do I think that Obama had no choice but to visit AIPAC yesterday. . What bothers me is accumulated remarks Obama made about ME which will damage his credibility as a change candidate. But this less of the fault of Barack Obama and more of the failure of the Jewish American left which failed to defend Barack Obama enough and openly so that his visit to AIPAC would have had little political weight. Instead, his strategists subjected him to the AIPC litmus test—which tells the rest of the world that American under President Obam means American politics of business is as usual.

I am not a cheerleader or a fan of Obama, My support of Obama is grounded on reason and evidence of what Obama says and what he stands for.
