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)

Jewish Nazism is reality not fiction

Published

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.

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.

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

Published

on

It is really ludicrous to see how dishonest the U.S “mediators” constantly demand that the Palestinians display more “good will” toward Israel at a time when Israel continues to perpetrate a real Holocaust against the hapless and helpless Palestinaians and steal Palestinian land in broad daylight.

It seems amply clear that the current Palestinian leadership, i.e. the Palestinian Authority (PA)  led by Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, neither learns from its own blunders nor from other people’s blunders. This is really a gigantic disaster befalling the Palestinian people and their enduring just cause.

How else can one relate to the unrelenting illogical insistence of the the whole world on accepting the U.S., Israel’s guardian-ally, as “mediator and honest broker” between us and our murderous tormentors and grave-diggers, Israel?

Indeed, one doesn’t have to be an expert on American foreign policy in the Middle East to know that the U.S represents the problem, not the solution, given its long-standing embrace of Israeli fascism and expansion.  After all, it is the US that not only enabled Israel to actively pursue its lebensraum policy at the expense of its neighbors but consistently shield it from any accountability or international condemnation.

Today, the U.S. administration is criticizing Palestinian “unilateralism” in reference to desperate PA efforts to get the UN Security Council to recognize Palestinian statehood and agree on a deadline for ending Israel’s Nazi-like occupation.

Well, we all know that the U.S. is being pornographically hypocritical when it accuses the virtually vanquished Palestinians of acting unilaterally as if its spoilt nefarious daughter, Israel, were ever acting in full conformity with international law.

Well, Mr. Abbas and Mr. Ereikat: Don’t be too gullible, too sheepish. Ask your American interlocutors, e.g. Mr. John Kerry, the following questions:

Since when did Israel ever behave bilaterally rather than unilaterally?

Was the usurpation of Palestine and expulsion of its indigenous people at the hands of Jewish terrorist gangs hailing from Eastern Europe, a bilateral or unilateral act?

Was the annexation by Israel of East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights a bilateral or a unilateral act?

Was the building of hundreds of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as well as the transfer of 600,000 Jewish settlers to live on a land that belongs not to them a bilateral or unilateral act?

Was the wanton demolition of some 30,000 Palestinian homes by Israel a bilateral or a unilateral act?

Was the annexation of the bulk of the West Bank and East Jerusalem a bilateral or a unilateral act?

And what about this ugly structure, called Separation wall, which resulted in the theft of thousands of acres of private Palestinian land? Was it a bilateral or a unilateral act?

I could go on and on and on listing America’s hypocritical and duplicitous stands on Palestinian grievances and Israeli crimes. Indeed, the U.S dishonest stand on the Palestinian plight has only been consistent in its moral depravity. Indeed, hypocrisy in its most brazen form has always been and continues to be the modus operandi of American policy toward the Palestinian issue. I know it is politically incorrect to speak in this tone. However, truth must not be another victim of the dark evil embrace between the U.S. and Israel.

But morality is not and has never been part of American politics or policies, especially foreign policy. This is why the world looks so ugly, so gloomy and so unjust.

The U.S. is insisting that only a “negotiated” settlement to the Palestinian issue would be acceptable to the U.S.

In other words, Israel must always have the final say as to any possible peace deal with the Palestinians.

But since Israel would never ever end its occupation or dismantle the settlements, let alone allow for the repatriation of the refugees, it means there can be no negotiated settlement unless the Palestinians agree to surrender to Jewish Nazism. But that will never happen as Muslims, including the Palestinian people, would never allow the Ramallah leadership or any other leadership to commit adultery with the honorable Palestinian cause.

Let’s be honest. The purportedly honest American broker or mediator is neither honest nor a broker or mediator. The proverbial American judge is simply telling the insolent rapist (Israel) and the vanquished rape victim (the Palestinians) to sort it out amongst yourselves. Do we have to be the smartest humans on earth to understand the implications of this brutal ugliness?

It is tantamount to a total American embrace of Israeli fascism. It means that the American stance is actually Israel’s stance. It also means that that the U.S. would never accept or condone any settlement that Israel doesn’t accept.

That is why the Palestinians need to have a moment of truth with themselves.
And the message they need to internalize is that they would have to wait ages if they continued to put their trust in the U.S. to pressure Israel to walk in the path of peace.

Let us face it. Israel will never walk in the path of peace unless it is pressured and bullied to do so. However, Israel would never ever walk in the path of peace as long as it continues to receive nuclear submarines from Germany and the most advanced fighter jets from the U.S.

In a nut shell, America can’t and won’t exert any meaningful pressure on Israel to end its N-a-z-i-like occupation. We all know that Israel controls the American government or at least controls those who control the American government. Israel is intoxicated by its arrogance of power and Talmudic insolence. And the U.S., Israel’s guardian-ally, is not in a position to be an honest mediator and to impose a deal on Israel or even convince her to allow for one that would give the Palestinian a semblance of justice.

What should be done?

We must go ahead with our efforts at the U.N. Security Council, irrespective of American threats to veto any resolution favorable to the Palestinian cause. At least casting the veto would embarrass America itself and its treacherous Arab allies (they are not actually allies but cheap slaves and puppets as we all know).

We Palestinians must be confident of our inevitable triumph over Zionism and its evils. Yes, it may take time, but eventually Zionism won’t live forever in a sea where hundreds of millions live.
