The New Minister of Strategic Threats

November 5, 2006

This week, the arrival of Lieberman at the center of the political system marks the start of a new chapter in the annals of the State of Israel.
Lovable Man, Uri Averny, Nov. 3, 2006

Indeed:

Mr Lieberman […] has no intention of withdrawing Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Instead, he wants to keep them while, "in return", redrawing Israel’s border to eject thousands of Israeli Arabs from the country.

"Minorities are the biggest problem in the world," he said in his soft, Russian-accented English. Asked if Israeli citizens of Arab descent should be forced out through territorial redistribution, he said: "I think separation between two nations is the best solution…"

Greater Germany is the first country in the world to find a legal way to separate from the foreign Jewish people. In contrast to the views of the last century, and of the so-called democrats of today, National Socialism sees the Jewish Question not as a religions problem, but rather as a racial question.

Israel was on the "front line of a clash of civilisations between the free world and extremist Islam," he said.

National Socialist Germany has given the rest of the world the example of how to deal with the Jewish Question, as is shown by the racial laws of our ally Italy, and by the spread of the Jewish Question to many other countries.

Democracy fatigue, there’s a lot of it about.
In all the 56 years of its existence, Israeli democracy has never been at such a low point as it is today.
In the elections half a year ago, almost 40% of the electorate did not vote at all – double the usual percentage.

Egypt won’t always be run by assholes in amerika’s backpocket and amerika can’t/won’t be able to keep bailing Israel out indefinitely.
We can already see that the meglomaniacal plan to keep the inhabitants of the ME on the bones of their ass by plotting the theft of their oil resource was the lamest piece of strategy since Kissinger was Secretary of State and imagined he could control the Chinese global status for amerika’s benefit.
The xtians hung on to their bits of Palestine for nearly 200 years. The Israel experiment won’t make it much past 50, no matter how many walls they build to keep reality at bay.

“When the question is still put to us why National Socialism fights with such fanaticism against the Jewish element in Germany, why it pressed and still presses for its removal then the answer can only be: Because National Socialism desires to establish a true community of the people…. Because we are National Socialists we can never suffer an alien race which has nothing to do with us to claim the leadership of our working people.”
–Adolf Hitler, in his closing Closing speech at the Nuremberg Party Conference, 9/12/38

Red Cross: IDF hit clearly marked ambulance workers

The international Red Cross on Sunday deplored the killing by the Israel Defense Forces of two “clearly marked” ambulance workers removing a Palestinian body from an earlier Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip.
The paramedics of the Palestine Red Crescent Society were wearing clearly marked fluorescent jackets and the flashing lights of their ambulance were visible from a great distance when they were hit by Israeli fire after dark on Friday evening, said the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
“The International Committee of the Red Cross is appalled by this failure to protect personnel engaged in emergency medical duties,” a statement said.
“The individuals concerned and their means of transport were clearly marked with a distinctive emblem conferring the protection of the Geneva Conventions [on the conduct of warfare],” continued the same statement.

The usual MO for the IDF …

David Grossman’s speech at the Rabin memorial

By our sword we shall live and by our sword we shall die and the sword shall devour forever. Maybe this would explain the indifference with which we accept the utter failure of the peace process, a failure that has lasted for years and claims more and more victims.
This could explain also the lack of reaction by most of us to the harsh blow to democracy caused by the appointment of Avigdor Lieberman as a senior minister with the support of the Labor Party – the appointment of a habitual pyromaniac as director of the nation’s firefighters.
And these are partly the cause of Israel’s quick descent into the heartless, essentially brutal treatment of its poor and suffering. This indifference to the fate of the hungry, the elderly, the sick and the disabled, all those who are weak, this equanimity of the State of Israel in the face of human trafficking or the appalling employment conditions of our foreign workers, which border on slavery, to the deeply ingrained institutionalized racism against the Arab minority.
When this takes place here so naturally, without shock, without protest, as though it were obvious, that we would never be able to get the wheel back on track, when all of this takes place, I begin to fear that even if peace were to arrive tomorrow, and even if we ever regained some normalcy, we may have lost our chance for full recovery.
