The General’s son sheds light on the truth and what the truth really is.. For those morons who are still drinking cool aid, I dare you to respond.

The recent act by the state of terror and so-called democracy, punishes the occupied Palestinians for joining UNESCO and immediately announces that settlers (state-armed terrorists) will have 2000 or so homes built on Palestinian lands.

Now tell me why the Israelis should not be thrown into the sea – and the Dead Sea in particular.

The arrogance and shallowness of the rich: Trump.

Now that the White House released the “dreaded birth certificate” that Trump insisted there was something on it that the President did not want anyone to see, Trump should eat his shoe and STFU.

Responding to the development, Trump said, “I have accomplished something nobody else has accomplished.”

“I want to look at it, but I hope it’s true,” he told reporters in New Hampshire. “He should have done it a long time ago. I am really honored to have played such a big role in hopefully getting rid of this issue.”

What? Played a big role in what? Making a fool of yourself Donald Duck?

A USA Today/Gallup opinion poll  sample that was asked if Donald Trump was born in the US, produced this result:

For what it’s worth, not everyone is convinced Trump was born in the USA either: 43% say he definitely was born here, and 20% say he probably was; 7% say he definitely or probably was born in another country. Nearly three in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.

More nonsense from Donald Trump earlier

Why he didn’t do it when the Clintons asked for it, I don’t know.

That’s just a flat untruth. The Clintons never asked for Obama’s birth certificate to be published – although some suggest the origins of the birther argument came from the Clinton campaign during the 2008 primaries. Whether or not that is true, what is true is that the birthers set sail under their own wind long ago.

FactCheck.org Clarifies Barack’s Citizenship

“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”

Donald Duck Trump: You’re Fired!

The posts attacking Muslims and depicting the thugs (Israeli Settlers as victims) have quickly sprung up on WordPress by the hateful  mob of NaZionists and their Muslim-hating supporters.

These Israeli settler thugs who are really subhuman, have committed atrocities against Palestinians daily and as the Israeli Terrorist Forces simply stood by! Even Israelis themselves hate settlers but will use them as a propaganda serving “piece” when it suits the NaZionist regime.

A key event in these was a Day of Rage declared by the Jewish settlers and its brutal oppression by the Israeli police (including severe sexual harassment of a 15 year-old girl by a Jewish police officer). The violence reached the Knesset, where the police was unable to defend its grave offenses: “uniformed criminals” was the general verdict on them.

The recent killing of a family is now Headlines: “The religion of peace: killing Jews in their sleep” or some ignorant self-serving propaganda.

Yet, when these thugs occupy Palestinian homes by force, commit murders and are authorized to terrorize and kill Palestinians, everyone is suddenly silent. They look away hoping for a “Muslim” Palestinian to commit a murder that they could use to bury and hide their own crimes.

Killing in the name of Judaism

But they can’t!

Here’s a sample and simple list of these thugs crimes against Palestinians that – till this day, hardly surface unless one is persistent in one’s search for the truth.Some of the sources are Israeli sources too, which makes this more amazing: that the western media would not even refer to such crimes, because, after all, they’re Jewish crimes.. and stating that fact would be anti-Semitic!

Saudi Arabia has pledged to stand “with all its capabilities” by Bahrain’s ruling royal family amid pro-democracy protests inspired by revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt which toppled US-backed government. Press TV

The Saudi Government [as reported by Aljazeera Arabic site] demanded their religious leaders to issue fatwas condemning any type of protest..

The Saudi, Jordanian and Syrian corrupt governments are very concerned… that their thrones will soon become as good as toilets!

The statement came as US Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, arrived in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, for a two day visit.

He told reporters that he was in Riyadh to “reassure, discuss and understand what is going on.”

Bahrain is home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, which has served as a hub for operations in Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea and East Africa.

Bahrainis, inspired by revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia, dubbed have been expressing disappointment with the political reforms of the past decade, which have failed to bring prosperity and real change.

The protests, however, took a new turn on Thursday after the brutal crackdown on protesters in Manama, which left at least five people dead and more than 230 injured.

At least eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in the clashes since the uprising in the Arab world reached Bahrain last week.

Thousands of protesters continue to mass in Manama’s Pearl Square. They are pressing for political reforms, including the release of political prisoners and the sack of the incumbent Prime Minister Khalifa Bin Salman.

A group of protesters, however, called for the ouster of the entire ruling monarchy.

 

Meanwhile, in Jordan

The Jordanian religious leaders issued Fatwas SUPPORTING protests and stating that such are but a religious mandate to speak against evil, corruption and oppression. Unlike the Saudis, who issued fatwas declaring protests… sacrilegious!

Jordan’s king enjoys absolute powers, ruling by decree: He can appoint and dismiss cabinet and parliament whenever at anytime.

Amani Ghoul, a teacher and member of the movement that organised the protests insisted the protests will continue until their demands are met.

“We want a complete overhaul of the political system, including the constitution, the parliament dissolved and new free and fair elections held,” she said.

 

Protests have been banned in Bahrain and the military has been ordered to tighten its grip after the violent removal of anti-government demonstrators, state TV reports.

“This is the first time in Bahrain’s history that I see this many people in an open area like this,” Maryam al-Khawaja from Bahrain Center for Human Rights told Press TV on Wednesday.

The army would take every measure necessary to preserve security, the interior ministry said.

Three people died and 231 were injured when police broke up the main protest camp, said Bahrain’s health minister.

Tiny but Ruthless

This is how little of a country Bahrain is… it’s as if someone abandoned a little island, and another rushed to claim it… as his Kingdom!

Yet the brutality with which this regime met protests is ten fold the violence against protesters in Algiers, Tunisia and/or Egypt.

Why do these ruthless tyrants and dictators feel as they are formidable against the will of the people? Could they possibly be supported by external powers and forces?

My assessment is that the U.S. does not wish for Bahrain to become a democracy:

The crackdown has caused unease in the West. Bahrain is a key UK and US ally and hosts the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet.

This is exactly the name of the game: United We Stand against democracy and Human Rights when it comes to protecting “our” bases (and interests) on foreign lands. People and freedom, are suddenly unimportant.

Probably larger than the "kingdom" of Bahrain

USS Nimitz in Bahrain

Meanwhile, as dictators continue to insist on living in their own fantasy worlds, Bahrain’s “king” claims that “Reform” takes time!

Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa made a rare national TV address, offering condolences for the deaths, pledging an investigation into the killings and promising to push ahead with reforms, which include loosening state controls on the media and Internet.

 

The king had previously called for an emergency Arab summit to discuss the growing unrest.

Yesterday Bahraini riot police have stormed a protest camp in the capital Manama, killing at least four people, as the government tried to quell the protests.

The World Reacts

The British Foreign Office confirmed Thursday that it has temporarily closed its embassy in Bahrain.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said he spoke to the Bahraini foreign minister and stressed the “need for peaceful action to address the concerns of protesters” and “the importance of respect for the right to peaceful protest and for freedom of expression.”

“We also urge all sides to avoid violence and the police to exercise restraint,” Hague said.

Catherine Ashton, the European Union foreign policy chief, deplored the violence and loss of life.

“She also calls on the Bahraini authorities to fully respect and protect the fundamental rights of their citizens, including the right to assemble peacefully. The peaceful expression of people’s concerns should be met through dialogue,” according to a statement from her office.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon weighed in on Thursday, saying that he is “disturbed by the violent means used to disperse the demonstrators” and that “there should be no violence.”

Secretary Clinton to Call Bahraini Counterpart as White House Monitors Uprising Against Another Ally…

I suspect that Clinton is only interested in the well-being of our forces and assets in this tiny spec of land in the Arabian Gulf. As for democracy, she will only issue her support after the success of the revolution, calling on the new government to honor its commitment to the U.S. and maintain the U.S. fleet’s presence in the Gulf!

Palestine papers: treason and corruption

Over the last several months, Al Jazeera has been given unhindered access to the largest-ever leak of confidential documents related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There are nearly 1,700 files, thousands of pages of diplomatic correspondence detailing the inner workings of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. These documents – memos, e-mails, maps, minutes from private meetings, accounts of high level exchanges, strategy papers and even power point presentations – date from 1999 to 2010.

 

Notice the area outlined with RED lines, including the famous Armenian and Jewish Quarters. This is almost half of East Jerusalem that the Traitors of the so-called PA wanted to give away! This would place the militant NaZionists right at the walls of the Al Aqsa Grounds so that they could  carry on more terror and destruction of Islam’s second Holiest Site.

 

By now..

…you have surely read ample reports on the Palestine Papers and formed an opinion. Regardless, I will include it again towards the end of this post.

For now, I want to address the Los Angeles Times irresponsible report on this issue – as quoted by the Guardian here.

Here’s Edmund Sanders, Jerusalem bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, who can barely keep himself awake while reading them:

The documents so far haven’t revealed anything that someone moderately familiar with the Mideast hasn’t already heard.

Neither side is shown offering anything very fresh or sweeping, though it appeared the talks were serious, detailed and respectful.

“Old news” is also the standard response of a journalist who has been scooped.

I posted a comment on the LA Times site – that I doubt will be approved. Here’s what I submitted:

The LA Times, surprisingly, comes across as ignorant as third-world countries’ media!

It’s easy to claim that “Palestinians so far don’t really seem to have anything to be ashamed of in the leaks from the 2008 talks. Despite the spin by Al-Jazeera and critics of the Palestinian Authority, the documents released don’t show Palestinian negotiators giving away the store. “

It’s responsible journalism to have actually watched the almost 2 hour segment about this issue and learned the facts first hand.

I watched the whole program on Aljazeera. The so-called Chief Negotiator, Mr. Erekat, was visibly upset, shaken and flustered. He couldn’t even make a single credible point that would allow the viewer to suspect what Aljazeera had reported.

This is further confirmed by the old rumors that the so-called PA is simply interested in looking like an ally to the U.S.  Of course, as we have supported dictators in the past while at the same time cry out for democracy in the Middle East, we are as arrogant and hypocritical as are the dictators we supported. Look what happened in Tunisia. It’s also happening in Algeria, Yemen and soon maybe in Egypt and Jordan.. all ruled by the dictators we call allies. And when they are ousted, then we extend our “measured and calculated” support to people seeking democracy.

Yet when it’s about Palestinians, our media is quite arrogant in its reporting. You seem to support the PA giving away the store because it’s in Israel’s interests.   Israel, a country founded on – and one who introduced terrorism, ethnic cleansing and daily massacres, land annexation and defying over 60 UN resolutions is now “rightfully” claiming the settlements as part of Jerusalem?

International Laws do not allow an occupying power to annex any part of occupied territories. We went to war with Saddam when he invaded and tried to annex Kuwait. We rushed to help Sudan split up and give the southern Sudanese independence. Yet, we always side with Israel regardless of its war crimes against humanity and repeat whatever the Israeli Occupation Forces want us to repeat.

A great deal for Palestinians? What an irresponsible claim. A great deal for Palestinians would be to offer them the same justice we offered Kuwait and Sudan. A great deal for Palestinians is for Israel to be forced back to 1967 borders and live and let live. It’s bad enough that they [Palestinians] have lost a whole country: now you want them to have a divided East Jerusalem surrounded by militant Israeli settlers?

Here’s the MAP the so-called Palestinian Authority was ready to accept:

Annexing more Arab Lands while returning nothing

Annexing East Jerusalem lands to surround Palestinians

In return? What do Palestinians get? Absolutely nothing! As stated above, the Israeli Occupation Forces have no claim or any rights whatsoever in post 1967 occupied territories. I personally believe, like Orthodox Jews from the Naturei Karta, believe that Israel has no claim or right in Palestine. Period.

"Yessir.. these idiots will do whatever we demand"

The Palestine Papers

The material is voluminous and detailed; it provides an unprecedented look inside the continuing negotiations involving high-level American, Israeli, and Palestinian Authority officials.

Al Jazeera will release the documents between January 23-26th, 2011. They will reveal new details about:

  • the Palestinian Authority’s willingness to concede illegal Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem, and to be “creative” about the status of the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount;
  • the compromises the Palestinian Authority was prepared to make on refugees and the right of return;
  • details of the PA’s security cooperation with Israel;
  • and private exchanges between Palestinian and American negotiators in late 2009, when the Goldstone Report was being discussed at the United Nations.

Because of the sensitive nature of these documents, Al Jazeera will not reveal the source(s) or detail how they came into our possession. We have taken great care over an extended period of time to assure ourselves of their authenticity.

We believe this material will prove to be of inestimable value to journalists, scholars, historians, policymakers and the general public. More..

I don’t doubt the validity of the so-called Palestine papers.   The top scum-so-called four “leadership,” claiming to represent the Palestinian people and their interests, have just shocked the  world in general and the Palestinians in particular, with their treason, corruption, lies, deception and their readiness to play in the world political arena simply because they enjoy the world of politics: sex, lies and videotapes. So-to-speak!

A simple fact evident by Mr. Abbas’ chauffeured car: yes, the latest-style Mercedes… the man who’s “people” are unemployed, starving, are humiliated by the Israeli Nazi Forces daily, imprisoned, ethnic cleansed, massacred… you get the picture… and the SOB is chauffeured around in a brand-new Mercedes!

To continue the lavish lives and life-style, at the expense of Palestinians, the degenerate four (including and) around Abbas: Saeb Erikat,  Ahmed Qureia,  Yaser Abdrabu and Salam Fayyad, were prepared to kiss Israel’s ass in exchange for a few million by and from the U.S.  This is in addition to the biggest traitor of them all: Dahlan.

Dahlan actively collaborated with Israel against the Palestinian resistance groups under the rubric of carrying out official policy. He co-planned and co-plotted and connived with Israel against Hamas. In Gaza, he commandeered the notorious death squads to liquidate people he deemed hostile or non-conformist.

 

 

The question remains: why now?

Is this an Israeli leak timed just right so that the U.S. (Clinton’s) opposition to Palestinians bid for a UN resolution would simply collapse without having to be embarrassed in front of the whole world by Vetoing the resolution?

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Thursday expressed opposition to a draft U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlement activity. The proposed resolution was introduced Wednesday and has broad support on the council.
