Breaking the last taboo: Gaza and the threat of world war : Comments

By John Pilger, published 12/9/2014

The attack on Gaza was an attack on all of us. The siege of Gaza is a siege of all of us. The denial of justice to Palestinians is a symptom of much of humanity under siege.

Arjay: Dr Paul Craig Roberts

Another Left Wing Conspiracy Theorist who's opinion is no more tangible as yours or mine.

The Future: Amnesty International

Now there's an organization just jammed packed full of Left Wing, Politically Correct Wacko's Uni Students who won't pass their Courses if they don't follow the line of their Left Wing Tutors.

Hamas has admitted it fired their Rockets from populated Civilian locations, Schools & Hospitals.

One of Israel's political stars, Tzipi Livni,
highlighted the Jewish state's collapsing
international image when she observed that
today's United Nations would not pass the
29 November, 1947 amendment that called for the
establishment of Israel. Israel's legitimacy
would be in doubt. The response howevr, should
not simply be to label critics as antisemites
but to begin focusing on justice for both Israelis
and Palestinians, and not just on military might.

The Jewish state can only ignore majority world
opinion for so long.

Despite these uncomfortable realities, the Israeli
perspective is better presented and understood in
the West, largely because of the Zionist lobby's
activities, but also because Israel's struggle
against "terrorism" is now framed - even more so since
September 11 - as "our" struggle against Islamic
fundamentalism.

The Palestinians are not particularly effective at
translating their message for a Western audience, and most
Western journalists based in Israel spend relatively
little time in East Jerusalem and the occupied territories.

Zionist lobby groups in the USA, United Kingdom, Europe
and Australia are highly vocal and very efficient at
persuading journalists, editors, and politicians that
Israel must be supported and defended.

Ferocious media-monitoring groups contribute to this
atmosphere of intimidation. They also of course refuse to
tolerate any dissenting opinions on the conflict, and
actively campaign against both Jewish and non-Jewish
critics.

The Zionist lobby isn't of course solely responsible for
the situation, but the post-September 11 environment has
emboldened the lobby. Public boradcasters (and authors
such as John Pilger) are criticised for not being tougher
on "terrorists," and the 2003 Hanan Ashrawi affair
proved that even the views of a moderate Palestinian were
unacceptable for public consumption. For the AIJAC, a
good Palestinian is a silent Palestinian.

Is it a "majority world opinion," or is it a vocal islamic loving, vocal Uni trained Left Wing, Politically Correct mob of, "Apologists for everything Western." crowd, of which bounty they enjoy. Something they wouldn't get to enjoy if the crowd they root for every got their way.

Dear Jayb.,

If you want to take part in serious
discussions - you need to argue on
an intelligent, mature level, not
an immature emotional one. All you
had to do is Google the information
and you would have found out that
the only countries less popular than
Israel are - North Korea, Pakistan, and
Iran.
