Palestine: a stone's throw away from syria : Comments

By David Singer, published 18/3/2014

If the ABC and The Australian are serious about pursuing damage to children in the Middle East, when will they look at Syria?

Hi David S

Looks like this article's contention that the ABC isn't reporting the Syrian Civil War's impact on kids is now out-of-date.

See http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-17/refugees-for-a-second-time/5327176 on ABC last night partly about Syrian refugee children now in Lebanon:

"...More than 140,000 people have been killed and more than 2.5 million refugees have fled to neighbouring countries, the vast bulk of them to Lebanon...Matt Brown reports from Shatila in Beirut, where around 20,000 refugees are living on less than one square kilometre of land.."

[Note following references to Children]

"DALLAL LAHAM, PALESTINIAN REFUGEE (voiceover translation): The situation in this country is really difficult and prices are high. Women have to run around all day to feed our children and make money to pay rent.

NADA MOUSSA, PALESTINIAN REFUGEE (voiceover translation): I swear to God it's a humiliation. There are the children - they need to eat, they need to drink and there's no-one to support us.

MATT BROWN: Nada Moussa says her two sons, the men of the family, are missing, picked up at government checkpoints trying to leave Syria. While her six grandchildren are trying to get on with life, she is desperately hoping to reunite with her sons.

NADA MOUSSA (voiceover translation): If there's a chance, an opening for us, I want to return. I want to see my children. Without my children, I cannot bear to live this life alone."

Secondly David, re your "Australia currently occupies a seat on the United Nations Security Council - positioning it to take a lead role in demanding that an armed UN force be sent to Syria..."

1. Thank Christ Australia, unlike the US, is not a captive of Israeli foreign policy.

2. Are you aware that Russia and China (2 members of the UNSC P5) have vetoed any moves in the UNSC (since 2011) regarding armed intervention into Syria?

And how many children have been, and are today, detained in war-crime-worthy prison camp conditions all year long and for years on end in Gaza?
And the answer to that question can only be, how many children live in Gaza?

What part of "just because syria is worse off than the west bank does not mean israel can do whatever it wants" dont you understand?

Your quisling apologetics for israels brutality and repression are becoming thinner by the day singer.

Surely there must be a different level of expectation from simple Ishmaelites than from the chosen people, the light unto the nations who are to lead everyone by example:

"This is what the Lord Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.’”" - Zechariah 8:23

#Plantaganet, #halduell, #mikk,#Yuyutsu

Not one of you is prepared to acknowledge the UNICEF Report and the horrors being visited on 5.5 million children in Syria.

The ABC Lateline report of 4 minutes 11 seconds did not deal with the UNICEF Report but dealt with the plight of Palestinian Arabs fleeing Syria to Lebanon - 5000 persons out of a total number of 2.5 million people who have become refugees.

One could cynically ask why the ABC is continuing to focus its programs on the Palestinian Arabs - whilst ignoring millions of Syrians.

The Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2042 (2012)authorizing an advance team to monitor the ceasefire in Syria.

Is it that unrealistic to get the Security Council to once again agree to pass a similar and even stronger resolution to bring about a ceasefire to end the carnage now entering its fourth year?

Obviously the ABC and you blinkered pathetic lot don't give a damn.

Dear David,

<<Not one of you is prepared to acknowledge the UNICEF Report and the horrors being visited on 5.5 million children in Syria.>>

Nice conclusion - I also didn't post here my favourite cucumber recipe or my guess of what happened to flight MH370.

G'day david singer

Its obviously distressing for you that the few remaining commenters on your articles don't descend to your Zionist version of life.

We have our own views on Israeli policies of ghettos for its Palestinian victims.

Yet another opportunity for you to express some form of outrage or moral condemnation for what is happening to the 5.5 million children in Syria - as outlined in the UNICEF Report - but once again you choose to remain silent.

The best you can do is come up with two further inane comments bearing no relationship whatsoever to anything appearing in my article.

Do you have eyes for anything other than endemic Jew-hatred? Guess that once it is in your system - it is very hard to get rid of. Keep wallowing in it - and ignore what is happening elsewhere around the world.

Shame on you both.

Dear David,

The papers are full of stories about bad things happening to good people. If I were to comment about all that, then I would never get anything else done in my life (I am not a politician or a journalist, so I'm not getting paid to comment on current affairs).

I comment here because my family are involved, because they have to live in a country with deteriorating morals, which mistreats others, including children, because though innocent, the consequences and blame for that would eventually fall on their head.

I do not blame the people of Israel, but am saddened to see how they are afflicted by this Jewish/national virus which causes them to behave badly towards others. I wish them all speedy recovery.

The people of Syria are ill as well, in other ways, and I wish them too a speedy recovery: I am so glad that I don't have family in Syria!

Your commenter audience continually fails to agree with you - in your eyes.

Your semi-official rightwing Israeli foreign policy articles speak Loud and clear.

Nothing to do with your ethnicity. Its just you mate.

A third time opportunity missed by you both to express some concern for 5.5 million children caught up in the fourth year of a war not of their choosing - as so starkly revealed in the UNICEF report I detailed.

How can you possibly look at yourselves in the mirror?

5.5 million children at considerable risk in a theatre of brutal warfare and carnage - and you still remain silent - finding the time to pen farcical replies - when you could have spent the same time condemning Assad, the myriad assortment of terrorist groups and the London 11 for the evils they have all allowed to be visited on the children of Syria.

I repeat - shame on you.

Dear David,

I rather have 5.5 billion anonymous children die, than have even ONE of the children in my family, upon turning 18, be forced into the army and ordered to come at night and arrest even ONE child out of their bed.

Dearest David S

I hereby express concern for the children in Syria and those Palestinian children even longer oppressed by Israel.

May I say that this is my last comment wasted on your repetitive rightwing Israeli-Likud Press Releases.

Good Luck

Your appalling lack of concern for the plight of 5.5 million children affected by the three year war in Syria is shameful.

Your family in Israel obviously disagree with you - or they would have packed up and sought greener pastures elsewhere - at least after seven Arab armies invaded Palestine in 1948 or after the Six Day War in 1967 or the Yom Kippur War in 1973 - not to mention the tens of thousands of rockets that have been fired indiscriminately into Israel since Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005.

Yet you want us to believe they remain there for one reason only - the advanced age of some of their family members.

You obviously expect other Israelis to serve in the Army to protect your family from the never ending declared intention of the Arabs to wipe Israel off the face of the map.

That mate includes your beloved family.

How did they manage to get out of serving in the Army when they turned 18?

No wonder you refuse to post under your real name. Your Israeli Hindu family would be thoroughly ashamed.

Indeed I now doubt you even have a Hindu family living in Israel after your latest post. Your claim is looking more and more like a gigantic hoax.

Why don't you get your family to write you a letter expressing their feelings about living in Israel for several generations and you can then publish it under your anonymous name?

How they manage to live on a daily basis in such a heinous society would make for interesting reading.

#plantagenet

Your feeble and pathetic response is too little too late and smacks of insincerity and indifference to the suffering of Syrian children highlighted in the UNICEF Report.

Why don't you join me in the call for the UN to end this carnage by imposing a cease fire by force - if the parties to the armed conflict and those supporting them refuse to do so within a specified time limit?

Dear David,

Yet more lawyer's tricks to try to get more information about my family, so it can lead you to find my identity behind the safety-veil offered by OnlineOpinion. Next would come litigation... or perhaps an envelope with deadly white powder in my letterbox.

Talking of gigantic hoaxes, the biggest in history is Judaism.
If you still believe in its central premise - that God chose your particular group of people, ordered them to stick together as a nation and promised them the land of Israel, then I see you as an innocent cult-victim. Otherwise you would be one of the perpetrators, seeking power and land by grand fraud.

But if you believe in this hoax, then you must also believe in its other aspects, including all the biblical commandments, presumably God-given. You would then also believe that the people of Israel have a mission and responsibility to spread morality among the nations. You would acknowledge that God didn't just give a blank cheque to the children of Israel, but had some expectations in return.

No privilege comes without responsibility: if the children of Israel were indeed chosen by God to lead the world in morality, to be a light unto the nations, then surely the level of expectation from them should be much higher than what one could expect from mere Ishmaelite Syrians.

May I remind you of the quote from the book "Lights" ("Orot") by Rabbi Kook, the founder of modern religious Zionism (page 156 in the original Hebrew version):

"The difference between the Jewish soul, in all its independence, inner desires, longings, character and standing, and the soul of all the Gentiles, on all of their levels, is greater and deeper than the difference between the soul of a man and the soul of an animal, for the difference in the latter case is one of quantity, while the difference in the first case is one of essential quality."

Keep spewing out your hate mate - now you are showing your truly disgusting Jew-hating persona.

Any soul like yours that is not prepared to give a damn about "5.5 billion(sic)anonymous children" in Syria is not the kind of soul I would like to possess.

How can you even spend time in Israel each year visiting your relatives and face these dastardly Jews? How do you get on buses, eat in restaurants and shop among Jews in a country where the majority population is overwhelmingly Jewish?

Uncle Yuyutsu - what an inspiration you must be to your poor oppressed family who have had to put up with so many millions of Jews each day for decades and who no doubt appreciate your annual visits in solidarity with your family's suffering - if even for just a few weeks.

What do you think should happen to all these Jews?

Get rid of them off the face of the earth - as Hitler tried to do - so that the "mere Ishmaelite Syrians" can continue to wipe each other out in a sickening orgy of carnage and murder whilst you avert your gaze and do or say nothing?

Thank God Jews do think differently to you.

No wonder you want to continue to hide anonymously under a rock.

The best thing you can do is follow #plantaganet's example and make your last comment indeed your last comment.

If it gives you any satisfaction - I have never come across or been exposed to a more loathsome and vile Jew-hater than you.

Dear David,

You misquote me as saying that I didn't give a damn about 5.5 billion anonymous children: I simply stated my preference for my own family.

The whole purpose of this article of yours is to divert attention from the problems facing ordinary Israelis (and Palestinians) at the hands of militant Jews, so to allow those militant Jews to do as they please under the cover of the unrelated Syrian plight. You could just as well say "look, a three-headed monkey on that tree" while you pick your fellow's pocket as they watch the tree instead of your hand.

I do not hate Jews - in fact some of my best friends are Jews: I have no reason to hate people just because they suffer from a congenital infection. I wish them all well, I wish them a long, good and peaceful life and I wish them all to be completely cured from the debilitating effects of that illness.

You are a truly pathetic person completely obsessed with a hatred of Jews.

Are there any other religious groups that attract similar feelings of hatred - eg Christians, Moslems or dare I mention - even Hindus?

You still have not shown the slightest feelings of concern for those anonymous 5.5 million Syrian children the subject of the UNICEF Report nor have you uttered one word to condemn those that are part of the carnage in Syria or supporting either side in that terrible conflict.

In case you have forgotten what you posted - here are your exact remarks:

"I rather have 5.5 billion anonymous children die, than have even ONE of the children in my family, upon turning 18, be forced into the army and ordered to come at night and arrest even ONE child out of their bed."

What an evil person you must be.

Some of your best friends are Jews? Tell us another whopper.

Indeed - have you any friends at all? With views like yours I would imagine the last person anyone would want to be friends with is you.

Dear David,

No David, I don't hate your people, who deserve pity rather than hate, especially for having an advocate like yourself who week after week brings them to shame and ridicule.

This time you exceeded yourself by using the plight of 5.5 million Syrian children as a tool, attempting to distract the readers' attention from the evil done by Judaism. If you ever truly cared for those Syrian children, then you would dedicate your article to them rather than to "Palestine: ..." - all you care about is to cause the readers to think about other things, other than the actions of Jews in the West Bank and the misery of 5.5 million Ishmaelite Syrian children is for you merely an incidental opportunity to serve that goal.

No comparison is possible between Jews and religious groups because Judaism is not a religion but a primitive form of nationalism.

As for friends, where are your supporters on this board? I can't see even one of them responding here - where have they gone when you need them most?

You state:

I reject your imputations in their entirety.

I find your continuing inability to express any feeling of outrage or condemnation disgusting and incomprehensible.

Since you raised the issue of the Heading of my article "Palestine - A Stone's Throw Away from Syria" - you need to understand there is a close relationship between Syria and the Palestinian Arabs.

During a meeting with leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1976, Syrian President Hafiz al-Asad referred to Palestine as a region of Syria, as Southern Syria. He then went on to tell the Palestinians: "You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Do not forget one thing: there is no Palestinian people, no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria! You are an integral part of the Syrian people and Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the real representatives of the Palestinian people."
http://www.danielpipes.org/174/palestine-for-the-syrians

Yes - Syria is a stone's throw away from Syria and may still be in the sights of whoever ends up gaining power in Syria - if anything of substance or indeed anyone at all is left standing once the current conflict is over.

Keeping silent by burying Syria in the basement will only ensure the carnage and slaughter being currently inflicted on Syria's civilian population will continue to produce the most horrendous humanitarian outcomes.

Arab killing Arab is apparently acceptable to you. I find that attitude intolerable and racist.

Do you have any streak of humanity within you?

Dear David,

If I believed for a moment that your article lacks a hidden agenda (to distract people's attention away from the evil actions of Jews, thus legitimise the occupation of the West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem), then surely I would express my concern for those Syrian children.

- However, this is not your first article. It is but one in a long series, all starting with "Palestine: ...", so I just won't believe that the leopard has changed his spots!

You certainly display some strange behavioural traits .

You would condemn what is going on in Syria but fear to do so because you would fall into my trap of seeking to take away the focus on what the evil Jews are doing in the West Bank.

Have you ever expressed your concern over the events in Syria anywhere else in the last three years?

If not - here is a challenge and the opportunity for you to do so.

There is an excellent article concerning Syria on OLO at this link:

http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=16048

Go post a response there and let me know when you have done so.
