Israel announces plans to force 30,000 people from their homes

Israel announced they will force at least 30,000 Palestinians from their homes in the Negev.  It will take five years and affect Bedouins (nomads) as well as the towns of Rahat, Kseifa and Hura.

Israeli leaders claim they will “compensate” the Palestinians with territory that’s half the size of the area of the Negev the Israelis will take over.  Also, Israelis say they will pay either money, or construction material, to the displaced Palestinians.

The Israeli government estimate it could cost them $2 billion to force the people out of the Negev.  I wounder where Israel will actually get the money from?

The people living in the Negev say they will resist.

Netanyahu bold faced bullshitter

Netanyahu just told the U.S. Congress that Jerusalem has only been free for all religions since Israel’s occupation. Bullshit!!!

Ask the Palestinian Muslims, Christians and Jews (yes Christians and Jews make up the Palestinian population) that have been constantly harassed and blocked from access to religious sites by the Israelis!!!

Jews and Muslims living in Palestine BEFORE the European Zionists took it over and renamed it Israel, said they used to babysit each other’s children.  They worshiped freely alongside each other BEFORE the European Zionists took Jerusalem over.  Netanyahu is so full of shit that I can smell him thousands of miles away here in the Pacific Northwest!!!

Hezbollah praises Nakba protesters

“We must bow before the courage, the bravery, of those who protested yesterday at Lebanon and Syria’s borders with occupied Palestine, who faced the tyranny of the enemy with bare chests and their heads held high.”-Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah

The leader of the Lebanese organization Hezbollah, said protesters gave Nakba “new meaning”.

Nasrallah also said: “…the fate of this entity (Israel) is demise, and that no initiatives, treaties or borders will protect it.”

Jewish Rabbi says Israel is an abomination to God, “it’s the State of Satan”

“God had put us under three oaths during King Solomon that we are never to rebel against any nation where we are law citizens and residing in, we should not go back in mass to the Holy Land, and we should not make any attempt to end exile. So therefore, the concept of a Jewish sovereignty is forbidden in Judaism.”-Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss

Not only has Weiss used the Tora to show that the creation of the Israeli nation is an abomination to God, but he used legal documents from 1947 that showed Palestinian Jews voted against it.  Many people in the West don’t realize that the Israelis didn’t force just Muslims into the refugee camps, but Palestinian Jews and Christians as well.

Israelis “…banished them (Palestinian Jews) from their homes.”

When asked how Israel should be described to Westerners, since he does not believe it to be a “Jewish” state, Weiss replied “It’s the state of Satan.” He pointed out that before the European Zionists arrived in Israel, in the 20th century, the Palestinian Muslims, Jews and Christians live together in peace.

Weiss showed photos of Jews being beaten by Israeli forces, inside Palestine, because they were protesting the Israeli government.  He’s outraged that Israel is considered the representative of Jews around the world, and the Western media goes along with it.  He called it “…the work of Satan.”

In reference to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s book calling Israel an apartheid system, Weiss said Israel is worse than apartheid.

Weiss said the Zionism that runs Israel was created by European Jews who hated their own religion: “…Zionism and its development into the state of Israel is a transformation of Judaism the religion…into base materialism, a nationalistic goal. It was created a mere hundred odd years ago by people who detested the religion…” Weiss added that Zionism is rooted in blasphemy against Judaism.

President Abbas says Nakba Day not in vain

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas made a speech praising the Nakba protesters.  So far more than 24 protesters have been killed, and at least 200 wounded.  Protests took place, and in some cases are still taking place, in West Bank, Gaza, the Israeli/Egypt border, Israeli/Jordanian border, Israeli/Lebanese border and even the Israeli/Syrian border.

“Their blood did not go in vain. Their blood was shed for the sake of the Palestinian people’s freedom and rights.”-Mahmoud Abbas, President of Palestine

Arab media coverage of Nakba day pathetic!

I watched Nakba day (May 15) protests live on the internet, but live coverage wasn’t provided by Western media, which is no surprise.  What was surprising was the non existent live coverage by Arab media!

Nakba day started while most people in the United States were asleep, after all when it’s dark here it’s light on the other side of the world.  But I would’ve thought I could find live coverage on the internet, from Arab media.  No such thing.  In fact Arab media are just now updating their text stories about the unwarented violence perpetrated by the Israelis upon protesters (which I watched live).

So who covered the Nakba day? Iran!

Nakba protesters swelling in London

I was trying to update this around 07:00 mountain time, when the page went blank. I couldn’t get back on no matter what I tried.   I was updating to say that I watched, live, a group of Hasidic Jews join the Pro-Palestinian protesters.  You had Pro-Palestinians on one side of the street, with Pro-Israelis on the other, separated by bobbies.  The live reporter was making it clear that the Hasidic Jews were demonstrating with the Pro-Palestine group.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators, and anti-Palestinian protesters are building in numbers on the streets of London, U.K.

Police are trying to keep the opposing groups separated.
