So many people, so many genocides, so many holocausts.
How strange then that in the eyes of so many there’s only one Holocaust, the trademarked one and only Holocaust that you hear and read about daily, and to express anything remotely close to criticism about this Holycaust immediately brands you as the evil one, the anti-Semite. End of discussion!
At least that’s what’s expected from the passive masses: silence as a result of fear of being labelled as the most politically incorrect term ever. Hopefully, this nonsense is about to change. Or better yet, it must change, since such childlike behaviour – you’re a Nazi! – should be wiped off the map immediately.

I’ve been reading David E. Stannards classic book American Holocaust (1992) lately, and even though he’s almost excusing himself for bringing this up, at least he tries to put things in perspective:

To say this is not to say that the Jewish Holocaust – the inhuman destruction of 6,000,000 people – was not an abominaly unique event. It was. So, too, for reasons of its own, was the mass murder of about 1,000,000 Armenians in Turkey a few decades prior to the Holocaust. So, too, was the deliberately caused “terror-famine” in Stalin’s Soviet Union in the 1930s, which killed more than 14,000,000 people. So, too, have been each of the genocidal slaughters of many millions more, decades after the Holocaust, in Burundi, Bangladesh, Kampuchea, East Timor, the Brazilian Amazon, and elsewhere. Additonally, within the framework of the Holocaust itself, there were aspects that were unique in the campaign of genocide conducted by the Nazis against Europe’s Romani (Gypsy) people, which resulted in the mass murder of perhaps 1,500,000 men, women and children. Of course, there also were the unique horrors of the African slave trade, during the course of which at least 30,000,000 – and possibly as many as 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 – Africans were killed, most of them in the prime of their lives, before they even had a chance to begin working as human chattel on plantations in the Indies and the Americas. And finally, there is the unique subject of this book, the total extermination of many American Indian peoples and the near-extermination of others, in numbers that eventually totaled close to 100,000,000.

“People are tired of the Iranians and their stalling tactics.”
Those were the words of Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, on Monday. She claims that Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili on Saturday delivered a “meandering” monologue full of irrelevant “small talk about culture” instead of supplying coherent answers.
Well, it’s should be quite unnecessary to state how tired people are of the Americans and their warmongering, and what Rice don’t seem to understand is that Iran care deeply about culture and the meaning it has to nationality, pride and independence. I’m quite sure it has a deeper meaning to the average Iranian than the average Joe on the streets of Manhattan… Culture and spirit still hasn’t lost its importance in Iran. A war will certainly start to rip things apart. Is this what they want? Destruction of faith?

According to experts there are two possibilities to explain why USA met with Iran on Saturday.
First: Hopefully the Bush Administration has realised that the current warmongering approach to Iran is seriously dumb, and now they’re trying a more diplomatic stance. Maybe they’ve finally understood that Iran will strike back hard and relentless, killing loads and loads of Americans, if the US decide to go to war. Terrorism will raise its ugly head, larger than ever, and the US war against terror will fuel even more worldwide hatred.
USA simply needs a normal relationship with Iran, one that depends on negotiation, diplomacy and a will to change, not one that relies solely on war and aggression. However, the warhawks are just that – warhawks – so it might be (this is the second possibility) that this meeting took place for the warhawks to be able to say that “we tried talking to them, we tried it the diplomatic way, but they wouldn’t listen, they only answered with small talk about culture” – and then they will wage their ugly provokative war anyway. Like they always do…
It’s a game to these assholes.

Sure, I know Ahmadinejad and his crew are very good at provoking as well. However, they seem to hit the spot that hurts and confuses in quite a smart way, the letter to Bush in 2006 being one example. Where is Bush’s reply? The Bush administration’s stalling tactics are quite tiresome…

Life goes on towards death in the fast lane.

This is really old news, but we constantly need to be reminded. Lest we forget…
And I really want to stress this:
As with everything you read, this is one side of the story. You’ll find thousands of articles contradicting whatever I say here. The reason I write that is because I get anonymous emails from jerks who don’t seem to get that…

Azmi Bishara, a Palestinian Christian with an Israeli citizenship, former member of the Knesset, is being accused of treason and espionage during wartime (the Lebanon war). I found this article in Los Angeles Times, written by Bishara himself, entitled Why Israel is after me. The full article is right here.
I don’t know anything about him being guilty or not. That’s not the point here. What Bishara writes in this article is just what we need to be reminded of, the sickening Israeli Apartheid.

—

These trumped-up charges, which I firmly reject and deny, are only the latest in a series of attempts to silence me and others involved in the struggle of the Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel to live in a state of all its citizens, not one that grants rights and privileges to Jews that it denies to non-Jews.

When Israel was established in 1948, more than 700,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled in fear. My family was among the minority that escaped that fate, remaining instead on the land where we had long lived. The Israeli state, established exclusively for Jews, embarked immediately on transforming us into foreigners in our own country.

For the first 18 years of Israeli statehood, we, as Israeli citizens, lived under military rule with pass laws that controlled our every movement. We watched Jewish Israeli towns spring up over destroyed Palestinian villages.

…

More than 20 Israeli laws explicitly privilege Jews over non-Jews. The Law of Return, for example, grants automatic citizenship to Jews from anywhere in the world. Yet Palestinian refugees are denied the right to return to the country they were forced to leave in 1948. The Basic Law of Human Dignity and Liberty — Israel’s “Bill of Rights” — defines the state as “Jewish” rather than a state for all its citizens. Thus Israel is more for Jews living in Los Angeles or Paris than it is for native Palestinians.

…

The Israeli authorities are trying to intimidate not just me but all Palestinian citizens of Israel. But we will not be intimidated. We will not bow to permanent servitude in the land of our ancestors or to being severed from our natural connections to the Arab world. Our community leaders joined together recently to issue a blueprint for a state free of ethnic and religious discrimination in all spheres. If we turn back from our path to freedom now, we will consign future generations to the discrimination we have faced for six decades.

Americans know from their own history of institutional discrimination the tactics that have been used against civil rights leaders. These include telephone bugging, police surveillance, political delegitimization and criminalization of dissent through false accusations. Israel is continuing to use these tactics at a time when the world no longer tolerates such practices as compatible with democracy.

Why then does the U.S. government continue to fully support a country whose very identity and institutions are based on ethnic and religious discrimination that victimize its own citizens?

“Israel fears my ideas endanger Zionism.”

This is Azmi Bishara speaking about Israeli Apartheid in March 2008.

>They’re at it again, backed up by the massmedia (“Iran launch new missile!”), provoking Iran trying to get them to attack first. Hopefully Iran will keep its cool, because this war, if executed, will probably be one of the worst ever for the present world to deal with.

On May 1, 2003, George W Bush made his famous speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln:
“Thank you all very much. Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.”
As one YouTube fellow below writes: “This will no doubt go down in history the most elaborate and misleading presidential re-election publicity stunt in US history.”

I know this Bush-hating is tiresome, he’s a just a puppet on a string and so on, but do check out this interview. This is Bush three years later with arguments worthy of a ten year old…

As Israel once again threatens Iran over the nuclear program we get to read those well known words again (I read them in Dagens Nyheter today): “Iran’s president has stated that he wants to wipe Israel off the map”.
No, he has not.
Let’s think about it; how many times have you heard about this quote? If you read the international news you’ve probably heard it almost every single day for about two years or so. That’s a great way for the Israeli and U.S. warhawks to sell yet another war in the Middle East. The warhawks repeat this propaganda over and over again and the smaller media units just follow. No time for research here.

The fact is that New York Times has backed away from this false translation, as did BBC, but you never hear about that, do you? Instead the warhawks keeps pushing people in the wrong direction, using these words as a slogan for a new war.
Studying four different translations from professors to the BBC to the New York Times to pro-Israel news outlets they’ve come to the conclusion that the word “map” wasn’t even used. And Ahmadinejad was actually quoting the words of the late Ayatollah Khomeini…

Ahmadinejad was actually saying “The regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time”, of course meaning the corrupt occupying power that is the Zionist regime. He was not suggesting a physical genocidal assault on millions of people, as you might think when hearing the words “wipe Israel off the map”. Simply put, he expressed his future hope that the Zionist regime in Israel would fall. He wants a regime change. And again, he was actually quoting Khomeini’s decade old speech, and has thus been credited falsely.
But you won’t read that in the mainstream media. There’s no time or space for explanations or excuses there.

And hey, what if Iran really was trying to wipe Israel off the map? Well, they wouldn’t last very long. Like somebody said: It would be like Paris Hilton picking a fight with Mike Tyson. Israel has an arsenal of about 200 launch ready nukes and are backed up by the mighty US of A who’ve about 6.000 active warheads… Compare that to Iran who virtually has nothing. The CIA estimates that Iran are five to ten years away from being able to produce one nuclear bomb. International inspectors have found no evidence of a nuclear program. CIA satellite imagery shows no proof of nuclear arms. People are full of shit.

And once again, mass media spreads its lies.
