People of Palestine, declare your independence

People of Palestine, your „president“ Mahmoud Abbas is none. There is no „palestinian authority“. Fatah, Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israeli Joint List, the third biggest Knesset group, they all let you down. Everything they say is worthless. Everything the weak, struggling autocrats Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu say is worthless. Everything the „European Union“ says, a designed clone, a clownish would-be copy of the United States of America that does not even recognize the rightful existence of sovereign european democracies, is worthless. The arab monarchies did not help you either. The military dictatorship of Egypt is your enemy. You are surrounded by enemies. The governments of China, Russia, they don´t care about you. There is no help coming. To them, you are to suffer. You are to die. You are to be exploited, humiliated, silenced, on and on and on, ´til the end of all times.

End that time now. Do something. And do the right thing. „People of Palestine, declare your independence“ weiterlesen

Abbas, Fatah, P.L.O. and Israeli Joint List: What you can do

President Mahmoud Abbas,

  1. Declare the independence of Palestine and accept the borders of the two states Palestine and Israel along the armistice line of 1949 with effect from a point of time not later than 2017. It is about time.
  2. Sue the state of Israel to the ground, before any court of the world. And do not waste one more minute.
  3. Either you are the president of Palestine or you are not. If not, step down. If you are, act like one.

The Magic Solution: For Palestine, For Israel

After the massacre in the „synagogue complex“ at Ha-Rav Shim´on Agasi Street 5 in Har Nof, Jerusalem, every juror in the courtroom of world opinion should take this under consideration:

1. Everyone who benefits from bloodshed is prone to cause bloodshed. That has been proven throughout the history of mankind and applies not only for every militia, military, spy agency or any other so-called „security force“, but for every government – in war time or similar circumstances, like a (permanent) state of emergency, or even in peace time, if it would benefit from (civil) war or the old strategy of tension.

The governments of the Western Block and its allied governments, including the Netanyahu government of Israel, are leading a world wide terror war, or „war on terror“, since September the 11th in 2001. No one in the occupied Israeli colony Palestine needs the „Hamas“, the „Fatah“, the „Islamic Jihad“, or the „Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine“ in peace time. The same applies for the Netanyahu Gang and literally every established party in Israel. So, what would all those „representatives“ or „resistance fighters“ do without all those sirens and missiles over Tel Aviv, the butchery in Gaza by unscrupulous bombardments, the murdering of people in Israel and Palestine, all those attacks, the bloodshed and colonial war?

They would be pulverized in any free and fair election within the blink of an eye.

Therefore, it is utterly foolish to trust any word of any war leading government or militia, especially if they are pretending to promote peace or easing the tensions. What they want is what they do. And they do what they want, if their people – or at least: some immovable under a largely politically passive and flexible population – don´t stop them. „The Magic Solution: For Palestine, For Israel“ weiterlesen

Abu Mazen´s Gamble

A WONDERFUL SPEECH. A beautiful speech.

The language expressive and elegant. The arguments clear and convincing. The delivery flawless.

A work of art. The art of hypocrisy. Almost every statement in the passage concerning the Israeli-Palestinian issue was a lie. A blatant lie: the speaker knew it was a lie, and so did the audience.

It was Obama at his best, Obama at his worst. „Abu Mazen´s Gamble“ weiterlesen

One Word

IN ONE word: Bravo!

The news about the reconciliation agreement between Fatah and Hamas is good for peace. If the final difficulties are ironed out and a full agreement is signed by the two leaders, it will be a huge step forward for the Palestinians – and for us.

There is no sense in making peace with half a people. Making peace with the entire Palestinian people may be more difficult, but will be infinitely more fruitful.

Therefore: Bravo! „One Word“ weiterlesen

The Settler State

THE OTHER day, the almighty General Security Service (Shabak, formerly Shin Bet) needed a new boss. It is a hugely important job, because no minister ever dares to contradict the advice of the Shabak chief in cabinet meetings.

There was an obvious candidate, known only as J. But at the last moment, the settlers’ lobby was mobilized. As director of the “Jewish department” J. had put some Jewish terrorists in prison. So his candidature was rejected and Yoram Cohen, a kippah-wearing darling of the settlers was appointed instead. „The Settler State“ weiterlesen

Wrong Side

OF ALL the memorable phrases uttered by Barack Obama in the last two years, the one that stuck in my mind more than any other appeared in his historic speech in Cairo in the early days of his term. He warned the nations not to place themselves “on the wrong side of history.” „Wrong Side“ weiterlesen
