3 Arrested for Anti-Zionist Graffiti on Israel’s National Holohoax Memorial

 

06/26/2012

BBC:

Three ultra-Orthodox Jewish men have been arrested in Israel, suspected of defacing the national Holocaust memorial with anti-Zionist graffiti.

One of the slogans daubed in paint on the walls of the memorial read: “If Hitler had not existed, the Zionists would have invented him.”

The suspects have admitted vandalizing the site, a police spokesman said.

Suspicion for the attack had fallen on ultra-Orthodox Jews who oppose the creation of the state of Israel.

One of the slogans, all in Hebrew, was signed “world ultra-Orthodox Jewry”.

Another read: “Thanks Hitler for the wonderful Holocaust you organized for us. Only thanks to you we got a state from the UN.”

A third went: “Honorable government of Poland, stop allowing the Zionists to hold manipulative ‘memorial’ ceremonies in Auschwitz.”

Some ultra-Orthodox Jews believe a Jewish state can be established only after the coming of the Messiah, and that the state of Israel is therefore illegitimate.

Some also believe that Israel’s founders conspired with Hitler to bring about the Jewish state.

The three suspects are to appear before a Jerusalem court later on Tuesday.

Jewish Historian: Israel Has No Rights in Land Dispute

04/12/2012

PressTV:

Some ground-breaking historic discoveries about the fabrication of the Israeli land and nation have captivated the minds and hearts of people throughout Europe.

Professor Shlomo Sand delivered one of his key-note speeches here – at Bulgaria’s oldest university, where most of the nation’s intellectuals and politicians have graduated.

So, people were eager to learn from an insider, Israeli himself, about some of the most dangerous myths in modern history.

But so far, the events in Exodus, the second book of the Hebrew Bible, were largely exploited as a historic fact. It says Israelis were “chosen people” and that God promised them “a holy land” in return for their faithfulness. And till this very day, that is the basis of the Israeli claims over the Palestinian lands.

Such “tragedies” Sand sees projected in the latest move by Israeli officials to cut ties with the UN Human Rights Council over investigations into Jewish settlements in the West Bank. He describes this move as “suicidal” and says the world must “save Israel from itself”.

Sand calls this “the longest nationalistic conflict in modern history”. He believes Zionism is a severe type of nationalism – and as such, its ideologists have resorted to ethnic cleansing not only in the occupied territories, but also towards their own citizens who don’t consider themselves Jews.

Shlomo Sand’s book “The Invention of the Jewish People” became a best-seller throughout Europe. His new work – “The invention of the land of Israel” is expected with even greater anticipation.

 

EXCLUSIVE FOR LEAKSOURCE READERS: (PDF) Shlomo Sand – The Invention of the Jewish People (2009)

Israeli Professor Shlomo Sand talks up the ideas of his new book, The Invention of the Jewish People, challenging the underlying logic of the State of Israel as a homeland for the Jewish People. He argues those who claim to be of the Jewish People cannot claim a blood connection with the original Jewish inhabitants of the Holy Land, but converts along the way. His book was a best-seller in Israel for 19 weeks in 2009.

Israelis Against War with Iran

03/13/2012

PressTV:

As the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu sharpens his rhetoric against Iran; the threat of war is looming, this despite the fact that many Israelis remain opposed to the idea of such a strike.

Opposition that stems from a belief that such an action would not only be ineffective but would also pull the region in a long conflict with dire outcomes for all.

But apparently opposition to such an action is also contradictory to Orthodoxy Judaism, explains one Rabbi.

Iran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful in nature and is currently cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Recently former Mossad chief Meir Dagan drew a lot of criticism from the Israeli cabinet when he made his opposition to a military strike against Iran. Dagan has warned that Israel would be in a serious situation for a long time should it attack Iran.

One may wonder if this idea of a military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites is mainstream among Israelis. Some has even said that the current Israeli leadership is entirely making up the idea of an Iranian threat in order to divert the Israeli public and indeed the whole world from Israel’s long occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Some Israeli activists are showing the power of social media, creating a Facebook page called “Israel ❤ Iran”. It has gained attention quickly and even made it to mainstream media coverage within a day of being started.

RT:

UK activists from the ‘Stop the War Coalition’ have held a day of action to speak out against war with Iran. Protesters took to the streets of 15 major British cities. In Israel, hundreds marched in Tel Aviv protesting the war.

The coalition’s unit in Nottingham declares on its website, that the United States has always been “tempted to use its overwhelming military strength” to try to make up for its relative economic decline, exacerbated by the current crisis.

“This means that the target is shifting to Iran and Syria. There are continual calls for intervention in Syria, and the war of words with Iran continually threatens to boil over into a war of aircraft carriers and bombs in the Straits of Hormuz,” the activists say.

The protesters compare what they call “current hysteria against Iran” with 2002 debates over the invasion of Iraq. At that time they feared war against Iraq was fatally approaching and held massive demonstrations against it.

Just as before the Iraq war, many experts are also warning to strike Iran would carry too many risks for the US and Israel. But campaigners say observers cannot stop the war.

“We heard it back in 2002. An attack on Iraq would have incalculable consequences across the region, we were told, and therefore will not be risked. Right and wrong, as we now know,” anti-war protesters believe.

They regret they could not prevent what they call “failed wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan, but reiterate that public opinion is a major threat to those pushing another war in the Middle East. Now they are calling for everyone to come to the streets and protest the gathering threat of war.

“Just as we’re winding down the disastrous and unnecessary war in Iraq, the very same people who misled our nation into invading Iraq are now saying that now we need to attack Iran,” they say.

The marches come as immense tension grows around Iran’s nuclear program, which has resulted in sanctions imposed by the US and EU.

­Hundreds of Israelis protest war against Iran

­Hundreds of anti-war activists have rallied in Tel Aviv to warn the authorities against a potential attack on Iran. Protesters began their march at Tel Aviv’s Habima Square, before making their way to the city’s Meir Park.

Campaigners fear that mounting pressure could escalate into all-out war, the effects of which would reverberate globally.

The protest grew following a recent spontaneous Facebook campaign in which large numbers Israeli and Iranian citizens united in their opposition to potential war between their countries. The initiators of the phenomenon, however, explained on their Facebook page that they had nothing to do with the Tel Aviv protest march, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports.

The campaign was launched last week by graphic designer Ronny Edry and his wife, Michal Tamir, who uploaded a poster onto their Facebook page which depicted Edry and his daughter with the words, “Iranians, we will never bomb your country, we [heart] you.”

The image sparked a whole movement, with many other people sending their own similar messages from Israel, Iran, and elsewhere in the world.

On Saturday, participants on the march held signs with such captions as “No to War with Iran,” and “Talks, not Bombs,” as well as “No to pre-emptive suicide.”

Recent polls suggest that some 58 per cent of Israeli citizens are against any military strike, RT’s Paula Slier reports from Tel Aviv.

Europe, Israel and the US have accused Iran of enriching uranium in order to build a nuclear weapon.They say the Islamic Republic conceived the data on nuclear experiments.

The sanctions against Iran came after a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, released in November last year. The UN inspectors raised questions about a possible military dimension to Iran’s program.

Iran vehemently denies the accusations and reiterates that its program is solely for civilian energy and medical research.

Jeremy Corbyn the chair of the ‘Stop the War Coalition’ told RT that isolating Iran and allowing Israel to continue with its threats will lead to very dangerous developments.

“The way forward has to be de-escalating the tension and denuclearizing the region, otherwise somebody somewhere is going to develop a nuclear weapon,” he said.

He urged people to think about the consequences of a possible attack on Iran, saying it would dramatically affect the world economy and result in an incalculable loss of people should it happen.

“If we let slip the dogs of war, we will all regret it,” he concluded.
