As I was watching Al Jazeera the other night some guy reminded me of something so obvious that I nearly dropped my Lebanese bread drizzled with Palestinian oil on my lap. It seems to be a fact that the Western Media have not only ignored, but downright censored lately.
As we see the rockets being launched from Gaza at “Southern Israel” it can be hard to hear nowadays that these rockets are being fired by guys who are actually aiming them at their own land. If the Israeli Sate hadn’t confiscated their land and ousted them in their racist policies of ethnic cleansing, then this practice of shooting rockets anywhere else would just be known as amateur rocketry…just like clubs full of pimply schoolboys do all over the world.
I remember having a mate at school who was into rocketry. We went to a launch of one of his big rockets one evening and it went badly wrong and landed in the wrong farmers field. The farmer was not impressed at all as it set fire to his barley stubble and chased us in his Landrover all over the place and then phoned the police. Ironically the ownership of the field had been in dispute between my mate’s family and the now angry farmer.
Compare that with doing the same thing in Palestine. The odds on our rocket hitting a house nearby were much more than one landing in on a house in Southern Israel but we never had to suffer the farmer coming back with the Police in their helicopter gunships firing missiles and white phosphorous shells at us killing all our extended family, then bringing in bulldozers to flatten all our houses complete with the occupants.
On a more serious note, the fact that the Israeli public were behind this war sheds some rather horrible light on their mentality that says it’s OK to kill as many Palestinians as you like in exchange for firing a few amateur rockets. The reality is that during this latest conflict more Israelis died in road accidents than were killed by rockets from Gaza. You don’t see them attacking the main car manufacturer’s factories though eh? Not many Israelis will openly admit it but I know many of them share the opinions of a late politician who described the Palestinian as lice. I suppose it’s no accident of history that now the most racist country in the world is inflicting death and misery and another race. The image of Palestinian kids wearing the German concentration camp striped pyjamas throwing stones at Israeli troops to point out to the world that now the Palestinians Ghettos are getting the same treatment as the jewsih Ghettos during WW2 is particularly powerful but censored from western media generally.
There we go. 10 Israeli soldiers and three Israeli civilians died…and so the Israeli public found it not only justifiable but morally and politically OK to kill in excess of 1300 Palestinians of which 400 were children. The Arabs have for many years being saying Isarel has no right to exist on historical grounds. I find myself thinking that it should not be allowed to exist now on the grounds that it has committed mass murder and should be disbanded.
I always wonder how many US supporters of Israel would feel if some powerful Empire came along and backed the Native Americans to take back their land beacuse of an old troublesome book about them being the chosen race and how they had a historical claim to the land and proceeded to occupy, ethnically cleanse and then murder the resistance fighters of places like Carolina, Tennessee, northern Georgia, and Alabama.
OK..not a politically correct rant I give you, but if the truth hurts then there’s still time to repent…lol..like all that crap they preach in most religions. Being a student of military history and empires, then the only way to get a lasting ceasefire, justice and equality it to arm Hamas to the teeth with decent weapons. If it was a level playing field them the Israelis might think twice before indulging in Genocide.
I wonder where my mate from school is now. I would say he could get a good advisory role in Gaza and teach them how to make decent rockets. If I could have a dream come true it would be that when the UFOs make themselves known and visible..lol..that they will take on the power of the US, Israel and Britain and disarm them to create a peaceful world based on the products of work rather than robbery. The Faeries told me to write that bit.
Better open the bunker shelter for a while in case the drones come looking for me….nananananana
