Such a good article. The Israeli govt certainly can't continue to play the victim card, labelling any comment that are against their illegal actions as 'anti-semitism' . . the world is clearly growing tired of this.

The real pity is from what I hear is that so many Israelis living in Israel and the Palestinian territories have no real idea as to the real situation as they are so brainwashed by their own media who tells them that they are the victims.

One thing that is quite evident, sadly evident, is that the truth is that the Israeli government have not been and are not now really serious about Peace, they genuinely believe that the whole region is theirs and they are to do what they want with it regardless of the original inhabitants of our day, who have spent their lives and their parents and grandparents and so on have spent their lives there. They dont make real concessions because they don't want a real solution, they look at it from a sum-zero perspective

Israel was once the cause celebre for the inner city lefties. In 1967, when the Arabs made it ubundantly clear that they were going to wipe Israel clean off the map, trendy lefties fell all over each other supporting Israel.

Whenever there is trouble, inner city trendies figure out who is to blame by using a rule of thumb. Figure out who is the Oppressor, and who is the Oppressed. In 1967, when Egypt committed an act of war by blockading the Israeli port of Eilat, and the Arabs nations lined up to invade, Israel was the obviously the Oppressed.

In the decade following, well, you were just not cool unless you were a trendy, and had worked on a kibbutz. Israel was Flavour of the Month for western inner city lefties.

But the problem for Israel, was it just kept winning its wars. And if there is one thing that trendoids hate, it is a winner. Since winners are always Oppressors, and losers are always the Oppressed, overnight Israel become the Bad Guys.

For all you naive little trendies, I will state for you clearly what the problem is. Islam is an evil religion which sees nothing wrong with expanding by the sword. Islam conquored "Palestine", knocked down Judaism's the Second Temple, and built a dirty great mosque on top of it. It is their way of saying that this is now Islamic land forever.

Israel's existence is an unacceptable affront to Allah, and for Muslims it represents a backward step for Islam's onward conquest of the world. The so called plight of the "Palestinian" Arabs is nothing but an excuse to fool gullible young World Saver westerners.

One thought that trendies prefer not to well upon, is that Islamic countries have already ethnically cleansed most of their religious minorities. So for Muslims to cry about Israeli treatment of "Palestinians" looks like total hypocrisy to me.

An accurate assessment of the way things are, Rose Anon,

Right now in an endeavour to “upgrade” their military capability, they are considering asking the US fior another US$20 billion, from a country now enjoying an extreme right wing government, thanks to the inadequacies of Obama and who in their first term will cancel out a health scheme for the poor. This US$20 billion would have made a valuable contribution to such a scheme so even in the US, every citizen is adversely affected by the parasitic nature of Israel.

However, by way of contract and on the other side of the ledger, Egyptian sources have revealed that an Israeli company has so far provided Gaddafi’s regime with 50,000 African mercenaries to attack the civilian anti-government protesters in Libya. Gaddafi regime pays $2000 per day for each mercenary. The mercenaries receive $100 per day and the remaining goes to Global CST, an Israeli government contractor, the report says. So that is US$ 1900 per day by 50,000 indicating that they still know how to make a profit in the business of destabilisation and false flag operations plus the odd assassinations or two. Experts one could say.

The marketing campaigns, #1“holocaust” and #2 “anti-semitism” , have both run their course after 66 years,. However, the naive members of the Gillard sponsored “Leadership Conferences” to Israel designed for her chosen politicians and public servants (17 returned in December ) are still subject to the Holocaust sideshows as part of the brainwashing. The remainder of the world is weary of this marketing, very well funded, naturally. as it is US “aid” money.
But it is in the US that they have scored well with 80% of the corrupt Senate and Congress dancing to their tune.

Australians have been nauseated by the Zionist Obama theatre this week

Academy Award stuff

Hey leog - ya nailed it, mate

Fact is the Left loved Israel cause it...in the early days... was a living, breathing example of their beloved communism. Kibbutzim was the way of the world as they saw it! Get behind it!

But then, alas for them, Israel abandoned the collective and for that the Left has never forgiven her

Cie la vie

Israel has long lived by the mantra of never again and never again will they rely on the "good will" of the rest of world.

They thru their IDF and Air force will take whatever steps it requires to endure their survival and the rest of the world can either support or not. I matters not.

As the old saying goes..."The day the Pallies put down their weapons, there will be peace. The day the Jew puts down theirs, the state of Israel will cease to exist."

Aint happenin'....!

rexw "The marketing campaigns, #1“holocaust”"

Are you a Holocaust denier?

That is just a disgusting thing to say .. to call it a marketing campaign .. truly disgusting, and low

Europe is "fed up with Israel"?

Gosh, Israel must be devastated! Can anyone point to a single reason, why the world's Jews should give a damn what Europe thinks?

As Europe is over-run with Islamists, and progressively destroyed from within, it seems appropriate that they reflect on who replaced the Jews that they drove out during the Second World War.
