Liquidating the Palestinian Cause is the goal behind the”Judicial overhaul” crisis in Israel

The Judicial overhaul in Israel

For weeks now, Israel has been witnessing massive daily demonstrations protesting plans by the new openly fascist government to reform the I’s judicial system. The so-called ” judicial overhaul ” was one of stipulations reached between Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and his two openly fascist Talmudic coalition partners, Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

The two extremist ministers advocate and are pushing for the adoption of draconian Talmudic laws against the Palestinians, which would also militate against liberal secular Jews.

They want the judiciary to be subservient to the Executive Branch  

The proposed judicial reform would introduce far-reaching changes to the judicial system, effectively scrapping the checks and balances which maintain the separation of powers and government branches.

The proposed Judicial overhaul in Israel seeks to curb the judiciary’s influence over lawmaking by limiting the power of the High  Court to exercise judicial review.

This would grant the government control over judicial appointments as well as limit the authority of its legal advisors.

The Supreme Court is considered the last-resort tribune for redress, especially for the Palestinians in both Israel and Occupied Territories.

Hence the proposed weakening of the court would seriously undermine the Palestinians’ ability to obtain even a modicum of Justice in Israel and the West Bank. Moreover, the proposed Judicial overhaul in Israel could also lead to the cancellation or dilution of some basic laws related to basic human rights,  civil liberties and human dignity.

If adopted, the reforms would diminish the ability of courts to conduct a judicial overhaul of some basic laws and change the makeup of the Judicial selection committees in Israel, so that control over the appointment of judges is effectively given to the government.

Moreover, the government is widely believed to have further undeclared aims, including expanding the authority of  Rabbinical Courts to act as arbitrators in civil matters using religious law, if both parties consent.

The proposed Reforms would make Israel one step- closer to an obscurant  Talmudic state and one step farther from being a democratic state.

US worried over the Judicial overhaul in Israel

The Biden administration seems to have little leverage on the Talmudic extremists in Israel. The administration realizes that the very survival of the current Israeli government depends on the extremists’ support.

Hence, they can do very little to return Israel to the status quo ante. On Tuesday,  Biden said that he was worried about the recent events in Israel and added that the Jewish state “can’t continue down this road. “Earlier, administration officials said the President was not worried about the prospects of civil war in Israel. However, the mere allusion to civil war in America’s closest guardian-ally suggests that the US is very concerned about the latest developments.

Ben Gvir lambasted Biden for intervening in Israel’s internal affairs. He reportedly said that Israel was not an extra star on the US flag.

“The Jewish and democratic state mantra “

One of the favourite mantras routinely invoked by Israeli officials, especially when addressing a Western audience, is the mendacious claim that Israel is a Jewish and democratic state.

However, these officials, including Netanyahu, would never say which description comes first in case there is a serious clash between the   “Jewish and democratic” components as clear from the ongoing developments.

The answer is abundantly clear from the current coalition government perspective: The Talmudic comes before John Milton and Thomas Moor.

Democracy must be subservient to the draconian, esoteric, and obscurant rules of the Talmud, not the other way around.

But this is anathema for millions of secular and liberal-minded Israeli Jews who fear a takeover of the country by the Orthodox Haredim, who are expected to form a plurality or majority of Israeli voters in a few decades.

These Haredim live in a world of their own and are resistant to Western ideals and ideas. Hence many Israelis dread the prospect of the ultra-Orthodox Jews reaching the helm of power in Israel.

The Judicial overhaul crisis in Israel: Existential conflict

The current showdown between the Talmudic Camp and the secular liberal camp seems existential in nature and is not expected to subside in a few months or even a few years. On the contrary, the conflict will continue to pose a serious threat to the political stability of the Jewish state.

The political class in Israel might succeed in finding a temporary compromise formula, which would be similar to reaching a fragile ceasefire agreement between two mutually suspicious enemies. However, there seems to be little real hope for reaching a lasting modus vivendi between the conflicting camps.

Liquidating the Palestinian cause is the secret beyond the current crisis in Israel

As an observer of Israeli political behaviours for 50 years, I believe that the ultimate but undisclosed goal behind the current crisis in Israel is nothing less than the planned liquidation of the Palestinian cause.

While the Palestinians are not directly involved in this inter-Jewish strife, there is no doubt that the Palestinians would bear the brunt of a possible  Talumudization of the Israeli judicial system.

Liquidating the Palestinian Cause is the real ultimate goal behind the so-called “Judicial overhaul” crisis in Israel.

Why many people, including many Jews and Palestinians, do not realize that the ultimate goal behind the so-called Judicial Overhaul is the actual liquidation of  the Palestinian national cause

How? The new proposed amendments would most likely   consolidate and perfect the Right’s grip on power in Israel

Once this goal is secured “democratically,” in the absence of checks and balances, the newly enacted laws would be used or misused to wage a genocidal rampage against the Palestinians,  aimed at massacring and terrorizing them into fleeing their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem exactly like what happened in 1948.

The Zionist apologists would then argue that the “sovereign Jewish democratic state” had to take this “regrettable decision to forestall the annihilation of the Jewish people.”

This is the real story behind the judicial overhaul crisis, not some banal procedural legal issues contested through an acrimonious showdown between moderates and extremists.

A few days ago while on a Paris visit, Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich,  denied the very existence of the Palestinian people. He even had the audacity to display a map showing Jordan and parts of northern Saudi Arabia as parts of Israel.

Tactical Retreat

On Monday, 27 March,  Netanyahu’s announced that he would delay implementing the proposed reforms following a meeting with Ben Gvir. In return, Netanyahu reportedly promised Ben Gvir., the Nazi-like firebrand terrorist minister that he would create a new military militia called the National Guard, which would supplement the army and police, particularly in tormenting and brutalizing the Palestinians.

The planned militia would be under Ben Gvir’s command.

‘We won’t fall for Netanyahu’s scam’

In reaction to Netanyahu’s announcement, 34 out 130 protest organizations, including “Black Flags” and “Crime Minister”,  vowed to keep up the fight against the reforms  “Yesterday we witnessed another attempt at fraud from a leader who has no scruples and is unfit to lead the country. Netanyahu will move forward towards a dictatorship after the holidays. We’re not falling for it. Lapid and Gantz do not speak for us, and we call upon them to stop this so-called negotiation immediately.” (end)

Muslims have more reasons to hate the US than the other way around

Published

Muslims hate the US

I don’t think that most Muslims hate ordinary Americans who believe in the general principle of “live and let live.” Moreover I don’t think that most Americans would unhesitatingly embrace Israeli Nazism if they had the chance to know the truth about Israel e.g. that it is a criminal state par excellence based on ethnic cleansing land theft and racist and religious discrimination.

Unfortunately most Americans are spoon-fed Jewish propaganda from early childhood. This creates a virtual reality in America’s collective mind about Israel a virtual reality that is nearly completely disconnected from the real reality in Israel-Palestine.

For example many Americans are made to think that Israel and America have much in common in terms of democracy. However the truth is that democracy in Israel is more or less confined to Jews while non-Jews are systematically discriminated against. Their land is confiscated their homes are demolished and their rights and dignity are trampled upon.

And when they seek redress at Jewish courts they discover that non-Jews can’t possibly hope for true justice and equality under Jewish rule. Ask non-Jewish Americans who have been living in Israel and you will hear a lot of hair-raising stories about the Israeli “democracy.”

Some Americans are so brainwashed that they are willing to claim that Muslims hate America for its freedoms.  This is what Georg W. Bush probably the most ignorant President America has ever had once claimed.

The truth of the matter however is that most Muslims hate the US government for embracing tyrannical Arab and Muslim regimes that torment their own people by denying them natural freedoms and civil liberties as well as the right to freely elect their own governments. This is in addition of course to backing and supporting Israel’s Nazi-like policies including ethnic cleansing and settlement expansion at the expense of the native Palestinians.

It is really scandalous that while Americans boasts bout their First Amendment freedoms successive American governments have consistently embraced despotic regimes abroad. In many instances the US intervened either brazenly or behind the scenes to destabilize or overthrow democratically elected governments such as in Iran Chile and the occupied Palestinian territory.

Of courser America’s days of infamy are too numerous to be counted. For example we all tend to view Adolph Hitler as the ultimate embodiment of evil. However it is historically true that the US its allies Stalin Mao murdered more people than the Third Reich ever did.

America wanted to be looked upon as a moral example to be followed. But the beacon of light eventually turned into a ruthless beastly power where military might took priority over moral power.

Take for example America’s stand over Israel. For decades the United States enabled Israel to violate every international law and norm and commit every conceivable crime under the sun including murdering children by raining on them White phosphorus.

This is the same America that allows herself to judge the world for human rights violations while enabling Israel diplomatically politically and mainly militarily to pursue decidedly Nazi-like policies against the Peoples of the Middle East.

Watch the ongoing genocidal onslaught which against our helpless and unprotected people in the Gaza Strip. Some of you might be prompted to think that I am indulging in excessive exaggeration when I speak of a genocidal onslaught.

But I am not. Otherwise, how else can we describe a condition where hundreds of ultra-advanced war planes rain missiles and laser-guided bombs from high altitudes on apartment buildings, homes, and civilian neighborhoods packed with men, women and children? Yet, this is exactly what Israel has done¸ murdering , maiming and incinerating thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians and utterly destroying tens of thousands of buildings.

Israel effectively destroyed Gaza, murdering and maiming untold numbers of civilians. Gaza, more or less, became the Dresden of Palestine. And the whole world looked on rather passively as if the killing-field and the shockingly pornographic destruction of life and property were occurring on a distant galaxy. we are not really talking about war, even an asymmetrical war. We are actually talking about a real massacre, a massacre that is reminiscent of the time when the Nazis ganged up on European Jewry 70 years ago.

The macabre scenes of decapitated and badly-mutilated children were too shocking to be described in words. Reporters at the site of the carnage lost their composure and collapsed as they couldn’t cope with the gruesomeness of the pornographic bloodbath.

In 2006, the Nazi government of Israel dropped 2-3 million cluster bomblets over Lebanon enough to kill or maim 2-3 million Lebanese children. And instead of denouncing the manifestly nefarious act the US government declared that “Israel has the right to defend itself.”

Today there is an anti-Islamic hysteria in the United States. The main reason for this hysteria is the fact that the United States can’t live normally with itself without an external enemy. In short there has to be an enemy in order to keep the American psyche intact. There has to be an enemy in order to keep the military industrial complex functioning. In short capitalism can’t function without war.

In fact Muslims don’t view themselves as enemies of the United States as the vast bulk of Muslims are peaceable people who are mainly interested in the pursuance of their daily life enhancing their daily living improving their standard of living and making ends meet.

Yes there are violent groups here and there but these are tiny groups which in no way represent the Muslims of the world.

I think many Americans are ignorant of these facts. I also think that many other Americans would condemn Muslims right or wrong. I am  talking about people who would burn the Muslim Holy scripture the Quran in order to highlight their hatred of Islam a religion with more than 1.6 billion  people.

Well to those I say one thing: the dogs will keep barking and the caravan will keep going.

Besides if you have one reason to hate us we have a thousand reasons to hate you.

None the less unlike you we are not willing to allow our primitive impulses to decide our behaviors. Our religion the source of our morality and behavior doesn’t allow us to behave the way they do.

This is why we will not burn copies of the New Testament we will not attack churches and we will not call Christianity bad names.

It is often claimed that the religion Jesus founded is based on Love. But any fleeting view of your “religion” caricatures a hate-based cult that has very little to do with Jesus and the authentic messages he preached.

Did Jesus ever call children “murderers” as you did recently in Texas? In fact I dare say that you and people who subscribe to your cultist hatefulness are a cancer upon the conscience of Christ.

So you hate us because of the 9/11 events. Well 99% of Muslims condemned in the strongest terms these terrorist acts. And we are sorry for the umpteenth time for the death of dozens of hundreds of innocent Americans including Muslims in these terrorist attacks.

None the less your democratic elected government has been responsible for the death of millions of Muslims. In Iraq alone the United States has killed or caused the death of at least two million Muslims in the past two decades. Hundreds of thousands of other Muslims have been killed in Afghanistan. These are just two examples of America’s genocidal wars against the Muslim world.

Hence if you have the right to cite one 9/11 we can cite hundreds and thousands of 9/11s. And don’t you ever think that your lives are worth more than our lives. All human beings were created by the same God and are equal if only because there is no such a thing as a lesser God.

One day the oppressed will have their day and there will be no spin no hasbara and no propaganda.  And the New York Times and Fox News  and AIPAC and all other organs of lie  will have been evaporated into nonexistence.

God is just.

Jewish Nazism is reality not fiction

Jewish Nazism

I realize that the title of this article might offend and provoke many people, especially those adhering to the Judaic faith. I do know that Jews, like everyone else, are not carbon copies of each other. There are many conscientious Jews who believe in fairness and basic human equality regardless of color, race and faith, and strongly reject racism and chauvinism in any form. Also, I will no longer be using euphemistic language in reference to Jewish Nazism especially in light of the latest Dresden-like bombing of Gaza by the Judeo-Nazi state also known as Israel.

These people I salute for their rectitude, humanity and morality. They are our natural partners for peace and a better tomorrow for our children and their children.

But there are numerous other Jews who don’t believe in human equality and justice for all. Indeed, there are many Jews, e.g. followers of the hateful Chabad sect, who don’t even ascribe full humanity to people who are not members of the Jewish faith.

Needless to say, the venomous ideology adopted by these racist fanatics has much in common with Aryan Nazism.

Read Also: The futility of counting on the U.S. to pressure Israel

What else can be said to describe an ideology that teaches adherents that the life of a non-Jew has no sanctity and that goyem can be murdered without the slightest compunction or feeling of guilt?

The shocking reactions by the Israeli government, rabbis, and community leaders to the latest abduction, murder and subsequent burning of a Palestinian kids in Gaza are very telling.

In a certain sense, these reactions and attitudes can be compared to the reactions and attitudes of many Germans to the pogroms carried out against Jews by the Nazis prior to and during the Second World War.

The gleefully despicable embrace of the brashly hideous crime by the bulk of the Israeli Jewish society underscores the fact that millions of Jews in Israel and abroad do harbor certain Nazi tendencies, especially against the Palestinian people. These tendencies are too real and too tangible to be overstated.

However, we must call the spade a spade, even at the expense of upsetting the huge Zionist propaganda machine which habitually alters the black into white and the blatant big lie into a “truth” glorified by sheepish westerners who have long been brainwashed into believing that Israel is a modern, civilized and democratic state.

In the final analysis, when Jews (or anyone else) think, behave and act like the Nazis thought, behaved and acted, they simply become Nazis. Pure and simple.

Today, there are numerous Jews who openly call for the physical annihilation of Palestinians as retaliation for the abduction and killing of three Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Saber-rattling rabbis speak menacingly of the need to adopt “the Biblical way” to combat the Palestinians.

For those not versed in Jewish phraseology, “Biblical way” is euphemism for genocide.

Today, the Israeli media reported that some army personnel openly appealed to the government to “give us the green light to annihilate them.”!!!

Just read what thousands of Jewish youths have been writing on their Facebook pages! It is outrageous, disgusting and sheer evil.

To put it in a nutshell, Nazism is being regurgitated and exuded all over Israel. This is happening in broad daylight while professional liars like Binyamin Netanyahu are filling the ether with all sorts of shameless lies about Israel being victimized by the Palestinians.

Seventy-six years have passed since Kristalnacht. Today Jewish settlers in the west Bank, in close cooperation and coordination, with the Israeli army could very well carry out a huge pogrom against an innocent and helpless community which really finds itself very much in the same precarious and vulnerable position that European Jewry experienced prior to WWII.

I am not a prophet of doom and gloom, but the signs are unmistakably bleak.

A final point, the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are surviving thanks to the good-will of the international public opinion. Should the international community go into a brief slumber, God forbid, Israel and its own Wehrmacht, SS, Gestapo and Hitler Youth might embark on the unthinkable. Don’t you ever say Jews can’t carry out a holocaust against their victims, the Palestinians?

Words can kill; words do kill.

Unfortunately, the chilling words we are hearing from many Israeli Jews these days leave no room for optimism.

I’m most definitely Palestinian!

Palestinian

In-your-face brutality, unending genocide, unending atrocities, mass slaughter directed against one’s people, one’s brethren, causes the most strong and unimaginable reaction, in response to the oppressor’s horrendous and barbaric deeds. The autocratic, despotic, tyrannical Israeli-hand systematically and with pre-planned engineered precision, massacres, annihilates, eliminates the young and the old Palestinian alike – in the most inhumane and most despicable of ways. Slaughters men, women and children in broad daylight. Bares its blood-thirsty intentions, its monstrous objectives in the most unashamed of ways. Mercy to none – not to the living, not to the severely wounded and dying; no mercy even on the dead or their lifeless remains.

The constant fear of being bombed anytime, rained down with missiles and all manner of munitions from within the vast arsenal of the Israeli side; definitely stockpiled high, with enough buffer inventory of munitions, deadly and lethal stockpile, to blow the receiving side multiple times over; so as not to leave a “shred” of evidence of your original physical-self on the surface of the land, which your people, generations and generations of your ancestors, since time immemorial have dwelt on.

Read Also: The age-old Palestinian-fear (of the Israeli thirst)

The inexplicable terror of seeing Israeli drones constantly “floating about” unopposed, in the skies above your unsheltered head. Drones with eyes like that of a greedy dog. Electronic pixels wanting to cast an evil eye, an evil-spell upon your very being. Eyeing upon your existence, wanting to blow-up, tear-up your physical being, seemingly wanting to devour your flesh and body; all by way of a few computer clicks / even the manual computer-clicks now, seemingly, are being replaced by more automated ways of executing these most evil deeds. Software, coded software, written programs to execute on the most Evil-intentions. Evil-intentions of the most evil amongst the human race.

Everybody knows, the Israelis have exterminated with their weaponry, uncountable numbers of Palestinians across a 40, 50km stretch of land, in front of the whole world, over the past so many weeks and months. And retain the capacity, the ability, the power, the means to slaughter, devour many, many more innocent ones, day in, day out.

The Israelis possess American technology, American weapons – the bedrock of their faith, the foundation stone of their belief in their never-ending invincibility. The Palestinians have their faith in Allah; that Allah will redeem his faithful people, from the clutches of these war-mongers, who rain down terror, day and night on the most innocent, the most vulnerable.

Most definitely, the Moslem spirit in me, the Palestinian spirit in me is not defeated; quite to the contrary, it’s rekindled, stronger than ever.

I’m definitely Palestinian, in every sense of the word, and Allah will save us, Allah will have mercy on us, Allah will guide us.
