The Signs of a Supremacist State
JERUSALEM — With Israel’s construction freeze on Jewish settlements in the West Bank scheduled to end this weekend, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were seeking an elusive formula yesterday to keep their new peace talks going while both sides warned that if the talks ended, violence could erupt.
As if to illustrate that warning, Palestinians clashed with Israeli security forces in and around the Old City of Jerusalem after an Israeli security guard fatally shot a Palestinian resident of Silwan, a hotly contested East Jerusalem neighborhood where a few hundred Jewish settlers live among tens of thousands of Palestinians.
The guard told the police that he had opened fire in self-defense after being ambushed by stone-throwers before dawn. But Palestinians said there were signs that the dead man, Samer Sirhan, 32, had been chased by the guard, and Palestinian spokesmen accused the Israeli settlers of carrying out provocations in order to heat up the atmosphere and divert international attention away from the issue of Israeli settlement construction.
Yup!
Sirhan, a father of five, was a member of Fatah, the mainstream Palestinian party engaged in the peace talks with Israel....
And he wasn't even Hamas.
So when does the fact that Israel will turn on you after you dispatch of Hamas, Fatah?
On Tuesday, Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, Israel’s military chief of staff, told a parliamentary committee that if the peace talks, begun in Washington three weeks ago, ran aground, he expected a wave of anti-Israel attacks in the West Bank....
Have the false flags already set to go, huh?
The Israeli military has increased its presence in the West Bank since Hamas gunmen shot dead four settlers driving on the main north-south road near Hebron just as the new talks were about to start.
See: West Bank Paradise
Cui bono?
Palestinian security forces arrested suspects in the settler killings, a move the Israelis praised.
Relations between the two forces have been improving and the streets have been calm. Yesterday’s events in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan in which Sirhan was killed exposed underlying tensions, however.
Women and children screamed and wailed as dozens of enraged young men bore Sirhan’s body in a simple, open green coffin up a narrow alleyway and stairs leading to his father’s house.
Palestinians -- and Muslims in general -- have suffered that scene far too often.
The body was then carried to Sirhan’s house before being taken for burial in the early afternoon.
The disturbances then spread. Eight Israeli passersby were injured by stones in other East Jerusalem neighborhoods.
I don't even want to hear it anymore.

And look what was cut from the web version but included in my printed paper:
"After the killing, Ghassan Khatib, spokesman for the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, said that the presence of “heavily armed settlers in the heart of Palestinian neighborhoods” paved the way for “such crimes.”
And even that straight from the source cut was chopped:
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel demanded the withdrawal from East Jerusalem of private security guards, whose work is paid for by the Israeli Housing Ministry, the Washington Post reported.
Your tax dollars at work, AmeriKa!
The report issued by the civil rights group this month documented accounts by Silwan residents of assaults and quick resort to gunfire by the guards posted at settlers' homes in the neighborhood.
Ariel Rosenberg, a spokesman for the Housing Ministry, told the Post guards often display restraint in the face of rock-throwing provocations by local youths. The guard who opened fire, he said, faced "a lynch, was under clear mortal threat and fired in self-defense."
They are like the boy who hollered wolf -- except Israel is the wolf!
All crubbed from the web. We call that CENSORSHIP here.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Arsonists torched a mosque in a West Bank village yesterday, scrawling “revenge’’ on a wall in Hebrew and charring copies of the Koran in an attack that threatened to stoke tensions over deadlocked Mideast peacemaking.
If it were a synagogue or church fire blamed on Muslims the paper would be screaming it!
Palestinians say they suspect hard-line Jewish settlers of setting the fire in the village of Beit Fajjar, near the city of Hebron. The attack is likely to hamper US efforts to sustain month-old peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, now deadlocked over settlement construction.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials condemned the arson attack in an apparent attempt to limit the political fallout....
Pfffft!
At the scene of the fire, dozens of grim-faced residents milled around as Israeli police and soldiers tried to maintain order....
There was no claim of responsibility for the blaze, but suspicions fell on extremist Jewish settlers.
Not Zionist militants, huh?
A tiny minority of hard-liners often damage Palestinian property in what they call the “price tag’’ policy — meant to frighten Palestinians or to express outrage over their government’s slowdown in settlement construction.
Oh, like something a BULLY WOULD DO!

“Revenge’’ was scribbled on an inside wall of the sooty mosque. A neat row of Muslim holy books was partly charred, and patches of the carpet were blackened. The blaze otherwise appeared to be contained and caused limited damage. Residents later prayed in the mosque and an elderly man chanted verses from a charred Koran.
Micky Rosenfeld, Israeli police spokesman, said they were looking into the attack.
Pffft!
It was the third West Bank mosque burning in the past year, following blazes in December and March.

Yeah, the Israeli authorities are looking into the matter, pffft!
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said yesterday that it was launching an investigation into a YouTube video that appears to show an Israeli soldier dancing around a blindfolded Palestinian woman.

In the video, the woman, wearing a Muslim headscarf and long black robe, stands along a wall as the soldier wiggles around her in an Oriental style of dancing and makes suggestive gestures. Arabic music blares in the background, and the woman barely moves.
The Web clip is the latest in a series of embarrassing videos and photos uploaded to social networking sites like YouTube and Facebook that show Israeli soldiers mocking Palestinians.
It's what RACIST SUPREMACISM BREEDS, folks!
If authentic, it would be the first specifically to humiliate a Palestinian woman, a deeply sensitive issue in Arab society.
Notice how the Zionist War Daily ALWAYS QUALIFIES Zionist war crimes but NEVER alleged Muslim atrocites?
In August, a young former soldier posted pictures of herself in uniform, posing in front of handcuffed, blindfolded Palestinian prisoners on her Facebook page.
Yeah, I linked that above to show it is a pattern.
Earlier this year, a video showed soldiers dancing while on patrol in a West Bank city....
Gee, Israelis sure like to dance, huh?
I think the Zionist newspaper is mocking us, readers!
Military officials said late yesterday that they were still investigating the matter, and it remained unclear whether the video was even authentic.
Un-f***ing-believable!

We call them newspaper reporters over here.
Military prosecutors can do little if soldiers have already been discharged from the army, which appears to be the case in most incidents, including this one.
Oh, so the authorities ignore or sit on the cases until after... sigh!
Yesh Din, an Israeli rights group, called it a “sickening phenomenon’’ in a letter sent by the organization’s lawyer to military prosecutors demanding a broad criminal investigation.
So is TORTURING CHILDREN!
Somehow that never made my Muslim-hating Zionist War Daily.

And the FINAL SOLUTION, 'er, STEP towards ABSOLUTE APARTHEID and SUPREMACY!
"Israel OKs loyalty bill, angering Arabs" by Associated Press | October 11, 2010
JERUSALEM — Israel’s Cabinet passed a bill yesterday that would require new non-Jewish citizens to pledge a loyalty oath to a “Jewish and democratic’’ state, language that triggered allegations of racism from Arab lawmakers who see it as undermining the rights of the country’s Arab minority.
Didn't HITLER make the GERMANS SWEAR an OATH?
The measure was largely symbolic; few non-Jews apply for Israeli citizenship.
Who would even want that PoS citizenship anymore?
Nevertheless, it infuriated the Arab minority and stoked tensions with Palestinians at a time when fledgling peace talks are deadlocked over Israel’s refusal to extend a moratorium on new building in West Bank Jewish settlements.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the bill reflected the essence of Israel at a time when he said many in the world are trying to blur the connection between the Jewish people and their homeland.
He accuses others of what the NaZionist Jew rulers are guilty! Now that is chutzpah!
Btw, the CURRENT OCCUPANTS of ISRAEL are ALL KHAZAR CONVERTS and USURPERS!
“The state of Israel is the national state of the Jewish people and is a democratic state in which all its citizens — Jews and non-Jews — enjoy full equal rights,’’ he said. “Whoever wants to join us has to recognize us.’’
What drugs is he on?
I'll pass on the recognition.
Ahmad Tibi, an Arab lawmaker, called the move a provocation.
Israel is real good at that sort of thing.
“Its purpose is to solidify the inferior status of Arabs by law,’’ he said. “Netanyahu and his government are limiting the sphere of democracy in Israel and deepening the prejudice against its Arab minority.’’
Didn't some guy do that to the Jews so long ago?
Unlike their Palestinian brethren in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Israel’s Arabs are citizens, with the right to vote, travel freely, and collect generous social benefits.
Yeah, the Arabs have been treated great by the Zionist Jews of Israel, uh-huh!
But they have long experienced discrimination and second-class status.
Ever notice ISRAEL is ALWAYS GUILTY of conduct they accuse of others?
Arabs make up roughly one-fifth of Israel’s 7 million people.
While the new bill would not force Arab citizens to profess their loyalty, a non-Jewish spouse of any Israeli would have to take the oath in order to receive citizenship....
To the Fuhrer?
The bill presumably would not affect Jewish newcomers, who automatically receive citizenship under Israel’s “Law of Return.’’
Of course, one of Israel's preconditions is NO RIGHT of RETURN for PALESTINIANS -- even though any Jew anywhere in the world (despite having never even set foot or been near Israel) is automatically awarded citizenship.
Good way of KEEPING THAT SUPREMACIST CHARACTER to the JEWISH STATE, though!!
