Double standards

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

TIP (The Israel Project) has put together the following brief, admirably objective and startlingly stark analysis of terrorism’s perpetrators.

When Israel deals with arch-terrorists who have a documented track record of mass-murder, there is loud indignation from politicians and organisations around the world. But when other nations deal with equally vicious terrorists guilty of equally heinous crimes, these nations are instead applauded by the very same politicians and organisations.

Double standards indeed.

Earthquake hits Turkish regime

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

The earthquake in Turkey has not only brought death and injury to the long-suffering Turkish people.

Among the earthquake’s victims is also the Turkisk regime’s attitude towards the Jewish state of Israel. Because now the Turkish regime has been forced to back down, submitting a request for emergency assistance.

Which Israel is more than willing to provide.

As indeed it should with any neighbour. Israel has previously assisted Turkey in the aftermath of various natural catastrophes, and the Turkish regime was one of the very first to offer – and indeed provide – much-needed assistance when northern Israel was afflicted by major forest fires a year ago. Despite the fact that relations between the two one-time allies have long been below freezing point thanks to the Turkish regime’s active assistance to terrorist organisations such as the Islamistic anti-Semitic and anti-Israel Hamas and Hizbollah.

That’s how things can turn out when idiot politicians stop jockeying for the limelight and instead look after their own people’s best interests – as is the case now that Turkey’s ruler Erdogan has requested and accepted the help his people need.

If the Israeli government were anything like the Turkish regime, it should charter a large ship – the Mavi Marmara comes to mind for some reason – and load it with all the ”aid” that the IHH and other “aid organisations” sent to Gaza’s Hamas strongman Ismail Haniyeh. He famously refused to accept the cargo since the medicines were already out of date prior to their despatch and thus posed a health risk to the people of Gaza.

Thank goodness the Israelis are a sensible people and do not stoop to such posturing…

But perhaps the good people of Gaza may wish to repay the Turkish regime’s “generosity” and return the aid flotilla’s out-of-date-medicines and broken wheelchairs directly to Turkey’s Erdogan? Just think of the headline: “Aid flotilla from Gaza to Turkey”.

And it wouldn’t cost the Gazans a penny.

The EU- and UN-financed war against Israel continues

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

A short while ago Palestinian terrorists from the Fatah government in Ramallah detonated a massive bomb in central Jerusalem. Thus far, reports indicate 1 death and 25 casualties, of which 3 critical.

This latest Palestinian atrocity comes the same day as the Palestinians’ second government, the one run by Hamas in Gaza, fired a number of rockets at civilian Jews in the Israeli city of Beersheba.

Which in turn comes a couple of days after the Palestinians’ second government in Gaza fired a number of rockets at civilian Jews in the Israeli city of Ashkelon.

This in turn comes one day after the Palestinians’ second government in Gaza fired 50 mortar shells  at civilian Jews in villages and towns in southern Israel.

Which in turn comes just a few days after Palestinian terrorists from the Palestinians’ other government, the Fatah one based in Ramallah, slaughtered a Jewish Israeli family including their infant child in the village of Itamar.

All this violence and barbarism is only possible thanks to no-strings-attached, generous financial endowments to the Palestinians’ two governments by the EU and the UN. Massive financial grants made without even minimal requirements in the form of a cessation of state-financed hatred in schools, mosques and the media, without any demand for an end to official sanctioned anti-Semitic propaganda, and definitely without making this aid conditional on a total and permanent cessation of all acts of violence against civilians.

If you are a citizen of any country that is a member of the UN – and let’s face it, even Libya is a member of the UN and Gaddafi was even elected by the UN to the chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights (!) – then the taxes you pay are used to finance this ongoing barbarity against a UN member state, Israel.

If in addition you are a citizen of an EU member nation, congratulations: you’re paying a second time to support the Palestinians’ two governments in Ramallah and Gaza City as they continue their frontal assault on the Jewish state. That is because the EU is a massive donor to Palestinian well-being – the sort of well-being that gives them the time and the resources to continue with their lethal belligerence against Jews. With official sanction, official funding.

And if in addition you are Swedish, then you are to be congratulated once again: because out of the massive taxes you pay every year, a healthy portion is siphoned off to SIDA, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, which in turn uses the funds to support the Palestinians’ two governments. The governments that sanction the sort of barbaric acts against civilians witnessed today in Jerusalem.

The funds are given without any demands for reciprocity whatsoever.

It is therefore time for civil disobedience on a massive international scale: only pay your taxes into a locked account at your county administrative board or equivalent body. In Sweden at least this is a legal procedure in the event of disagreement and is allowed throughout any process of arbitration until a solution has been reached. You are not breaking the law because you are paying your taxes, but the government cannot touch the funds until it resolves your grievances. So in the meantime it is without this source of income – which after all doesn’t even get spent on citizens of your own country. Find out how to do this in your own country.

And start preventing your government from continuing to use your taxes to fund massive financial and diplomatic support for Palestinian genocidal barbarism. Don’t back off until your government, the EU and the UN all impose absolute, unequivocal demands for reciprocity from the Palestinians, however many governments they choose to have.
