Israel- the NAZIs of the Middle East

I am not an anti-semitic, I will happily criticise any regime with equal vitriol if they conduct themselves in a similar fashion to the NAZIs of WWII. I am also not a pacifist - although I have reservations about the reasons for going to war in Iraq and the subsequent management of the aftermath, I think it needed to be done.

Relatively few people know the history of the state of Israel. People are unaware of the part played by the Jewish terrorist group 'Irgun' in the formation of the state, the massacres of Palestinian people or the bombing of innocent civilians which they carried out in their 'cause' to create a Jewish state which is now Israel. If anyone can be bothered to search for Irgun on the internet, most will no doubt be surprised at the parallels between that group, and Hezbollah and HAMAS. Irgun members have served in senior government and military posts in Israel, and some may still remain.

Israel has a long history of disproportionate responses to terrorist attack by Palestinians or their supporters; forced migration, demolition of family houses (because a single member of the family was a Palestinian activist), extended imprisonment without legal representation, annexation of territory, to name but a few. Does this not remind anyone of the NAZI "final solution"?

The amazing thing is that they have got away with such extreme inhuman acts for so long. When similar regimes appeared in Europe, Europeans acted to dismantle those regimes by force. In comparison, the UK and the USA in particular sell weapons systems to what is in essence a terrorist state.

The USA makes a big deal about spreading democracy to the Arab states, yet when HAMAS are democratically elected to govern the Palestinian people, somehow that doesn't count as 'real democracy'. Why not?

Let's examine the latest outbreak of violence in the region:

1. Palestinians kidnap one Israeli soldier.
2. Israel attacks the Palestinian territories, killing many civilians and demolishing large chunks of the Palestinian infrasructure.

How is this in any way proportionate? To continue;

3. Hezbollah (probably) kidnap 2 Israeli soldiers.
4. Israel mount an all-out war on Lebanon, attacking (amongst other targets) Beirut airport and power stations, and bridges.

Proportionate? Who are you kidding, Israel. How is a power station a valid military target in the context of this Blitzkrieg? Destroying bridges and attacking the airport can be justified in a strict sense in that it makes it harder for Hezbollah to escape or move materiel and personnel around, but that must be weighed against the devastating effect on the local population who are trying to escape from your killing ground. continuing;

5. Hezbollah launch relatively inaccurate and ineffective rockets across the border into Northern Israel.

Israel then try to blame their war on this, ignoring the fact that the rocket attacks _were_in_response_ to the attack by Israel and trusting that the general public are stupid enough to forget that fact. Maybe Israel are right, and the majority of people really _are_stupid? How else can they get away with this.

6. It transpires that US aircraft carrying ammunition to supply the Israeli NAZIs are stopping-off in the UK to refuel.

WTF are the USA doing supplying ammo to the Israelis in these circumstances? Why aren't the British Government summoning the US Ambassador to the Foreign Office and instructing him that under no circumstances are they to use the UK for transit of war materiel to Israel? Poodles.

7. As well as supplying one side of the combatants with weapons, the USA go through the motions of negotiating a settlement to the conflict.

How can they really take account of the views of the victim state (Lebanon) while at the same time actively participating in the conflict by supplying Israel with ammunition to bomb Lebanon with? Do they think the public (particularly the Lebanese) are deficient large ammounts of brain tissue? Maybe they're right, but I somehow doubt it.


8. Israel bombs a village, killing at least 54 civilians, 34 of them women and children. One was a one-day-old baby.

I suppose that the day old baby might have grown up to be an Hezbollah terrorist. This is the second time that Israel has inflicted civilian casualties on this village, in 1996 over a hundred were killed when Israel "accidentally" pounded the village with anti-personnel ammunition - the accident must have been that they left a few innocent civilians alive by mistake the first time so they decided to try again.

9. The USA and the UK start to back-pedal on their support for Israel's actions.

I wonder if that means that arms supplies to Israel via the UK have suddenly stopped? Call me a cynic, but I doubt it.

10. Israel declares that they will stop air attacks on Lebanon for 48 hours.
11. In spite of (10) above, air operations continue over Lebanon.

This just adds to the image of duplicity earned by the Israeli NAZIs.

What has been achieved by the Israeli terrorist tactics? The Blitzkrieg has been rolling for two weeks, have they taken out the Hezbollah rocket launchers? Have they caused irreparable damage to Hezbollah? No, but they have caused a mass-migration of refugees, destroyed swathes of Lebanese infrastaructure, and killed at least 800 people, many of them women and children. If the keep going for a year or so, maybe they will achieve total genocide in lebanon, something which Adolf Hitler and his fellow NAZIs failed to do. They have also boosted support for groups like Hezbollah - I know that if my electricity and water supplies were disrupted, my home destroyed, my family members murdered by the Israelis, I would be first in the queue to join a group like HAMAS or Hezbollah.

What started this again? Oh yes, the nasty terrorists kidnapped 3 Israeli soldiers. Obviously, the Israeli NAZIs have no concept of "proportionate response".

Don't get me started on the US attitude to Iran and North Korea developing Nuclear weapons - why aren't they objecting to Israel's Nuclear weapons?
