The Boycott Revisited

Tuesday, September 08, 2009

I wish I did not have to do this rebuttal, but it could not be helped. As I was reading this article by Uri Avnery, the only way I can describe my reaction was rage and also contempt for Avnery. It has always been the case whenever I read articles by this European Ashkenazi settler Jew on Arab soil. He claims to be a peace activist but his activism is for his own benefit! Of course, the readers of this blog would have to judge for themselves if logic, truth and common sense are on my side or his. So here we go. The settler's statements are in green font.

by Uri Avnery / September 5th, 2009

The people of Sodom, the Bible tells us, were very wicked indeed.

They had a nasty habit of putting every passing stranger into one particular bed. If the stranger was too tall, his legs were shortened. If he was too short, his body was stretched to the required length.

In a way, each of us has such a bed, into which we put everything new. Confronted with a novel situation, we tend to equate it with a situation we have known in the past.

In politics, this method is especially pervasive. It relieves us of the irksome necessity of studying an unfamiliar situation and drawing new conclusions.

Once, the pattern of Vietnam was applied to every struggle around the world - from Argentina to North Korea. Nowadays, the fashion points to South Africa. Everything resembles the struggle against apartheid, unless proven otherwise.

Since sending out last week's article, "Tutu's Prayer", I have been flooded with responses, some laudatory, some abusive, some thoughtful, some merely angry.

Generally, I don't argue with my esteemed readers. I don't want to impose my views, I just want to provide food for thought and leave it to the reader to form his or her own opinion.

This time I feel that I owe it to my readers to clear up some of the points I was trying to make and answer some of the objections. So here we go.

I have no argument with people who hate Israel. That's entirely their right. I just don't think that we have any common ground for discussion.

That is such a silly statement! You the settler European Jew would not have any common ground, because you fail to ask the pertinent questions as to why 'your state' is so hated? Have you ever made an attempt to find out?

I would only like to point out that hatred is a very bad advisor. Hatred leads nowhere, but to more hatred. That, by the way, is a positive lesson we can draw from the South African experience. There they overcame hatred to a remarkable extent, largely thanks to the "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" headed by Archbishop Tutu, where people admitted their past offenses.

Let alone the Jews on Arab soil (who go by a 'chosen' name of 'israelis') admit to wrong doing, a whopping 94% of the so-called 'israelis' gleefully supported the massacre of innocent Arab children, mothers and the elderly when Jewry made the decision to trim at the number of Arabs residing on the devastated Gaza strip by dropping bombs from the sky! If Avnery's Ashkenazi European tribe recognizes the fact that hatred breeds hatred, did they think the relatives of the massacred Arabs would shower them with love in return?

One thing is certain: hatred does not lead towards peace. Let me be quite explicit about this, because I sense that some people, in their righteous indignation over Israel's occupation, have lost sight of this.

Notice how the settler European Jew is shy to mention all the bestiality of 'his state' ... he is willing to mention only the innocent, harmless 'occupation'! The settler has the nerve to lecture the conqured and victimized Arabs on their own soil. But I forgot: the Ashkenazi Jew does consider himself a member of the 'wandering Jews' of the bible, and therefore a Semitic member of the region! What a deluded people!

Peace is made between enemies, after war, in which awful things invariably happen. Peace can be made and maintained between peoples who are prepared to live with each other, respect each other, recognize the humanity of each other. They don't have to love each other. Describing the other side as monsters may be useful in waging war, but singularly unhelpful in waging peace.

I guess the reference of [awful things invariably happen] must be to the Gaza Holocaust and the settler European Jew is trying to say let bygones be bygones ... that is until the next barrage of Jewish hell from the sky in the form bombs and phosphorous! Interesting also that he, on the other hand, is not willing to forget nor forgive what he believes was harm done to his European people by another European people. How nice, kind and generous is this settler European Jew on Arab soil?

When I receive a missive that is dripping with hatred of Israel, that portrays all Israelis (including myself, of course) as monsters, I fail to envision how the writer imagines peace. Peace with monsters? Angels and monsters living side by side in peace and harmony in one state, hating each other's guts?

Let me remind the European Ashkenazi settler Jew on Arab soil that a whopping 94% of his 'israelis' supported the Gaza Holocaust, climbing the hilltops of Palestine with champaign and glasses in hand, cheering and applauding as the night sky looked like the American 4th of July! None other than Abe Foxman was huffing and puffing to boast to the world that American Jewry was solidly united behind their own Jewry in Palestine and in favor of murdering as many Arabs as possible in Gaza.

The view of Israel as a monolithic entity composed of racists and brutal oppressors is a caricature. Israel is a complex society, struggling with itself. The forces of good and evil, and many in between, are locked in a daily battle on many different fronts. The settlers and their supporters are strong, perhaps getting stronger (though I doubt it), but are far - even in their own view - from a decisive victory. Neve Gordon, for example, has been left unmolested in his post at Ben-Gurion University, because any attempt to remove him would have caused a public outcry.

The European Ashkenazi Jew makes an attempt to distinguish between who stampeded to Palestine first and who arrived later. Not a single European Ashkenazi Jew or Yemeni/Moroccan/Egyptian/Ethiopian Jew was ever granted permission to land on Arab soil. They did so because the wealthy Jews had bought the favors of people like President Truman as is posted on the official Truman Online library. Let's dispense with the fake differences between one alien settler Jew vs. another alien settler Jew.

I also have no argument with those who want to abolish the State of Israel. It is as much their right to aspire to that as it is my right to want to dismantle, let's say, the USA or France, neither of which has an unblemished past.

This is a perfect example of the kind of logic the settler/predatory Jews engage in: Others have done a similar crime, why point at us? The world has moved beyond the colonization of land of people of color by the British (now USA) but the Arab and Islamic world will never come to recognize their arrogant killers, rapists and thieves in the form of international Jewry! That will never happen!

Reading some of the messages sent to me and trying to analyze their contents, I get the feeling they are not so much about a boycott on Israel as about the very existence of Israel. Some of the writers obviously believe that the creation of the State of Israel was a terrible mistake to start with, and therefore should be reversed. Turn the wheel of history back some 62 years and start anew.

As I stated above, this monstrous, repugnant tumor stuck in the heart of the Arab world for strategic reasons will never be accepted by the Islamic world as a rapist will never be accepted by the rape victim. The Jews' state and a rapist do in fact have a lot in common: their fantasies are fulfilled only by means of brute force. The rapist will never be able to let his vigilance rest due to the fact that the rape victim will seize any opportunity to inflict a serious enough blow upon her rapist and thereby attempt regain her freedom and safety. The same logic applies to the Arabs and their rapists in the form of int'l Jewry!

What really disturbs me about this is that almost nobody in the West comes out and says clearly: Israel must be abolished. Some of the proposals, like those for a "One State" solution, sound like euphemisms. If one believes that the State of Israel should be abolished and replaced by a State of Palestine or a State of Happiness - why not say so openly?

You notice how the settler Ashkenazi Jew minimized the world's population only to 'the West'? He knows what he speaks of! Jewry will always latch on to the powers of the day! During Herzl's time, he made efforts to win the favors of the Sultan, among others. When a new power emerges, these people are known not to have any loyalties; they would dump their earlier enabler and friend for a new and more powerful star! They did in fact kill the British in Palestine and hanged them on trees when America became the superpower after ww2. The Britsh exodus out of Palesinine was quick and immediate, as would be expected! This European Ashkenazi Jew does know from where he stampeded to Arab Palestine (I believe he is a German Jew). Hitler is dead and it should not be too hard for him to find his way back again to his original habitat!

Of course, that does not mean peace. Peace between Israel and Palestine presupposes that Israel is there. Peace between the Israeli people and the Palestinian people presupposes that both peoples have a right to self-determination and agree to the peace. Does anyone really believe that racist monsters like us would agree to give up our state because of a boycott?

On what basis do the alien, stampeding Jews feel entitled to 'self-determination' on Arab soil? The Palestinians are on their soil! Palestine is not world Jewry's state! It was stolen; and it is a matter of time before it is restored back to its rightful owners: Here is a great quote from Nasrallah:

Today, and tomorrow, and after one year, and one hundred years, and one thousand years, until the Hour of Judgment, we and our children and our grandchildren and our people... as long as we are Hizbullah, we will not recognize "Israel". What is "Israel"? "Israel" is a plundering entity, an illegal and illegitimate state, a racist, belligerent, terrorist state. By what standard can a human being, Muslim or Arab, recognize an entity of this kind, and come and say, simply: "Yes, this is "Israel"," while three quarters of it or more has been given to foreigners brought from all corners of the world, and while the people who are in the right, who are the legitimate ones, the people of the land and the holy places, the Palestinians - Muslims and Christians - have to let go, and leave, and surrender, and submit! Show me that standard! What is the religious standard? What is the moral standard? What is the humanitarian standard? What is the nationalist standard? What standard is it?

Go Nasrallah!

The French and the Germans did not agree to live in one joint state, though the differences between them are incomparably smaller than those between Jewish Israelis and Arab Palestinians. Instead, they set up a European Union, composed of nation-states.

Some 50 years ago I called for a similar Semitic Union, including Israel and Palestine. I still do.

The cunning settler Ashkenazi Jew is attempting to be very deceptive! The Germans and the French were people who had lived on the same geographic location like the Indians and the Pakistanis whereas the case of Palestine is the arrival of alien European Jewry from thousands of miles away, wrapped around with the word 'Jew'. It worked! Thousands of the gullible goyim confuse the alien Jews of Europe with the original Jews of the Middle East!

And what the hell does the non-Semitic Ashkenazi European Jew mean by the last statement! What 'Semitic Union'? Where is the sense in this? European Ashkenazi Jews stampeded to Palestine and stole the land of the Arabs and the 'wondering Jew' believes he is a Semitic and hence a 'Union' of the Arabs on 20% of their land and 'the wondering Jews' to steal 80%? Has he gotten senile? If there is a 'Union' it aught to be within and amoung the Arab people of the area, they need to be united and drive off their lethal colonizers in the form of int'l Jewry as they had done in the past when they courageously drove off all previous colonizers.

Anyway, there is no sense in arguing with those who pray for the disappearance of the sovereign State of Israel, rather than for the appearance of the sovereign State of Palestine at its side.

Yes, how clever! The 'sovereign' Jews' state is 'sovereign' via bribery, intimidation, and treachery! Palestine is Arab! End of story! At the end of the day, it will be Arab again! It serves this European Jew well to have a miniature 'Palestinian state' on 20% of Palestine, while stampeding Jewry occupying 80%!

The real argument is among those who want to see peace between the two states, Israel and Palestine. The question is: how can it be achieved? This is an honest debate and is generally conducted in a civil manner. My debate with Neve Gordon is in this framework.The advocates of boycott believe that the main, indeed the only way to induce Israel to give up the occupied territories and agree to peace is to exert pressure from the outside. I have no quarrel with the idea of outside pressure. The question is: pressure on whom? On the government, the settlers and their supporters? Or on the entire Israeli people? The first answer is, I believe, the right one. That's why I hope that President Barack Obama will publish a detailed peace plan with a fixed timetable and apply the immense powers of persuasion of the USA to get both sides to agree.

I don't think that this is politically possible without the support of a large part of Israeli society (and, by the way, of the US Jewish community).

Did anybody get that? 'immense powers of persuasion of the USA'? The same USA that gave Arab land away to world Jewry? The same USA that supplied killing machines to Jewry during the Gaza Holocaust and the Qana Holocaust? Why should anybody believe the USA is a neutral party? But the USA can be trusted by Jewry to do right by them at the expense of people of color of the region! The last statement is hilarious! The settler Jew admits (quite foolishly) that even the USA has to take its orders from int'l Jewry who reside in Palestine and in the USA! He also confirmed that no matter what the Palestinians wish for, they have no voice in the matter since it is only Jews who have the power in the matter. What a stupid statment to admit to, but I am sure he never meant to ... it just slipped out!

Some readers have lost all hope in Obama. That is, without doubt, premature. Obama has not surrendered to Binyamin Netanyahu - indeed, it is quite conceivable that the opposite is happening. The struggle is on, it is a hard struggle against determined opposition, and we should do all we can to help Obama's peace policy to prevail. We must do this as Israelis, from inside Israel, and thereby show that this is not a struggle of the US against Israel, but a joint struggle against the Israeli government and the settlers. It follows that any boycott must serve this purpose: to isolate the settlers and the individuals and institutions which openly support them, but not declare war on Israel and the Israeli people as such.

Hilarious! This European settler Jew considers himself the genuine 'settler' and the newer settlers are the bad kind of settlers? This Euro-Jew can afford to make such a distinction, as he sits comfortably on what is the land of the Arabs but forcefully taken by stampeding European Jewry! There will never be an end in sight to the stampede of int'l Jewry to Palestine unless the Arab people as a group find their strength and get the alien Jews on their soil to stampede back to where they came from. Unfortunately the Arab strength has been diminished over the decades mainly having to do the regimes that are beholden to the imperialist and Zionist forces on their land.

In the 11 years since Gush Shalom declared a boycott of the products of the settlements, this process has been gaining momentum. We must laud the Norwegian decision, this week, to divest from the Israeli Elbit company because of their involvement with the "Separation Fence" that is being built on Palestinian land and whose main purpose is to annex occupied territories to Israel. This is a splendid example: a focused action against a specific target, based on a ruling of the International Court.

Here again, the settler Jew is making a desperate attempt of wanting to hold on to the 80% of Palestine and the rest of the 20% of Palestine he is willing to be given back to the Arabs. Nice settler Jew, this man!

I think that far more can be done by a concentrated national and international campaign. A central office should be set up to direct this effort throughout the world against clear and specific targets. Such an effort could be helped by world public opinion, which recoils from the idea of boycotting the State of Israel, and not only because of the memory of the Holocaust, but will identify itself with action against the occupation and the oppression.

The settler Euro-Jew lost me here! Say what? Let's first deal with the 'holocaust'. This man almost never writes an article without invoking his 'holocaust'. But the world is not composed of white people! It was white Europeans who had it against white European Jews! How does the rest of the world 'recoil' due to Jewry's holocaust? Does the world remember the horrific holocaust of so many other races besides that of white European Jewry? And what does Palestine or the Arab people got to do with White Jewry's holocaust?

I have been asked about the Palestinian reaction to the boycott idea. At present, Palestinians do not boycott even the settlements, indeed it is Palestinian workers who are building almost all the houses there, out of economic necessity. Their feelings can only be guessed. All self-respecting Palestinians would, of course, support any effective measure directed against the occupation. But it would not be honest to dangle before their eyes the false hope that a worldwide boycott would bring Israel to its knees. The truth is that only the close cooperation of Palestinian, Israeli and international peace forces could generate the necessary momentum to end the occupation and achieve peace.

This is how most of the Zionist Jews speak when they have no avenues left to make sense: they speak in broken logic! What the hell does this predator on Arab soil mean when he said that the Palestinian laborers' sentiments can only be guessed while they are laboring away constructing air-conditioned fancy homes for yet to stamped white Jewry to Palestine while they (the labourers) have to go to their wretched homes at night having nothing to show for their day-long labor but enough to feed the stomach! Where had I heard before the expression of 'dangling' false hopes in front of the hopeless Palestinians. It was from the master of all deceivers by the name of Noam Chomsky who did in fact admit that his Zionist emotions do cloud his reasoning towards the conflict in the region.

This is especially important because our task in Israel today is not so much to convince the majority of Israelis that peace is good and the price acceptable, but first that peace is possible at all. Most Israelis have lost that hope, and its revival is absolutely vital on the way to peace.

The man sounds like he is getting forgetful. Perhaps advanced age could do it! He is beyond the age of 80! May I ask: when did the so-called 'israelis' believe that they had hope that the Arabs would simply just go away and let stampeding int'l Jewry attain its goal of 'Greater israel'? 'Revival'? Silly man! You do not revive anything that was not there in the first place!

To remove any misconceptions about myself, let me state as clearly as possible where I stand: I am an Israeli. I am an Israeli patriot. I want my state to be democratic, secular, and liberal, ending the occupation and living at peace both with the free and sovereign State of Palestine that will come into being next to it, and with the entire Arab world. I want Israel to be a state belonging to all its citizens, without distinction of ethnic origin, gender, religion or language; with completely equal rights for all; a state in which the Hebrew-speaking majority will retain its close ties with the Jewish communities around the world, and the Arab-speaking citizens will be free to cherish their close ties with their Palestinian brothers and sisters and the Arab world at large. If this is racism, Zionism or worse - so be it.

Hilarious! The language 'Hebrew' was revived from its deathbed and it is a language strictly Middle Eastern that Euro-Jews had to learn so that they could feel part of the Middle East! Hilarious! Black Americans do speak English as a first language, but they do not claim ancestry to England as Ashkenazi Jews do to Palestine! How delusional! The settler Jew still wants to have his cake and eat it too; he is singing 'we shall overcome' and he wants the artificially created language of 'Hebrew' to be the dominant language! Listen settler: The Arabic speaking people did not fetch a language to speak and start practicing and call it their own! They speak Arabic just like the English speak English and the French speak French! You however were speaking all kinds of languages of where you used to live and forcefully created a language to be spoken by all the settlers! After all, how can one have a normal 'Jewish nation' where the stampeding inhabitants spoke a hundred different langjuages, right? This is the first time ever in the history of the human race where a people just picked up a language and started learning it and then started stuttering and stammering! Strange people!
