SILLI Hamas

SILLI is the moniker I have decided to apply to what is increasingly becoming an obvious propaganda front and likely fiction. Seeing past the fake beheading videos and timely propaganda releases dug up by Zionist war organs of propaganda, I would like to tell you of an evolution. 

When I began this journey I believed what the propaganda pre$$ was reporting regarding the Islamist militants. I no longer bought the bull regarding 9/11 and Iraq, but I still thought those groups were out there, opposed to US policy, blah, blah. The papers always seemed to have both sides represented (little did I know how narrow and skewed that debate was), and I still took at face value that the reporting was accurate insomuch as it covered the particular event.

After a few years I began to see the hand of western intelligence behind these groups because the truth is they had created, directed, and funded them. I saw $unni mu$cle and manpower behind much of it, accepted the false flag version of events, and am not denying that some reported incidents are exactly that. It's the old play both sides, problem-reaction-solution conundrum being pushed by rulers forever.

The point I have now reached is to suspect immediate propaganda in the form of a complete fraud or hoax (something that has also occurred in the Luddite past) for the usual agenda-pushing purposes. I have come around to views that I dismissed earlier, and that is that ISIS is nothing more than a handful of guys with a video camera. The giveaway these days is that they are showing up in every place where the EUsraeli Empire needs to overthrow or install a new government. The ISIS, Al-CIA-Duh, Islamic militant label is being attached to any population or government that is recalcitrant towards the New (or Jew) World Order.

I confess it was very difficult for me to come to this conclusion, readers. I wanted to believe.

"ISIS, Hamas just alike, Netanyahu tells U.N." by Somini Sengupta THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 30, 2014

UNITED NATIONS — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Hamas and the group known as the Islamic State “branches of the same poisonous tree” yesterday. Iran, he added, is the most dangerous country in the world.

That's all well and good, except ISIS -- if we are to believe all the propaganda -- hates Shi'ites worse than infidels and Jews. 

Which brings up another question: Why is it that ISIS never attacks Israel when they are surrounded by them.... hmmmmmmm?!?! Think about it.

“When it comes to their ultimate goals, Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas,” Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly, using an alternate name for the Islamic State. 

That is silly.

In making his annual address, Netanyahu returned to a familiar theme that has been a hallmark of his tenure, that Iran’s nuclear program is the greatest threat to the security of Israel and the world. But he also sought to capitalize on the West’s abhorrence of the Islamic State, maintaining that militant Islamists are all dangerous, regardless of their affiliation.

Maybe the West will stop creating them then. 

And why would Hamas be so silly to align themselves with that bunch? They are not chopping off heads, are they? Isn't that a Zaudi shtick?

“Iran’s nuclear-weapons capability must be fully dismantled,” he said.

If they had one.

His comments come as the United States and allies are bombing Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria, while also hurtling toward the end of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. Iran is eager to get sanctions lifted. Europe and the United States want to check Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons.

But Netanyahu emphasized that to focus on defeating the Islamic State while allowing Iran to retain the ability to make a nuclear bomb was a mistake akin to allowing a militant group to build a heavy water reactor, a reference to a facility in Iran that could produce the bomb-fuel plutonium.

“To defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war,” he said.

Just for the record, Israel has been screaming about a nuclear Iran since 1985, and it hasn't happened. This booga-booga is really.... pfft. Pathetic, and I'm tired of seeing it.

Iran’s president brought up the Islamic State in his remarks last week. He suggested that Iran could cooperate in the fight against extremist groups in the region after sanctions were lifted.

Oh, yeah, did I mention it is in Iran's interest to battle the ISIS that US real created?

Yesterday, the Israeli prime minister cautioned the world not to believe the “crocodile tears” of  his Iranian counterpart. He accused Iran’s Revolutionary Guard of fueling terrorism in Israel’s neighborhood through its support for Hamas.

He's the champion crier of them, and what you are seeing now are the reedited rewrites to the verbatim print, and ISIS is working with Iran, huh?

“To say Iran doesn’t practice terrorism is like saying Derek Jeter didn’t play shortstop for the New York Yankees,” he said, in reference to the baseball player who recently played his last professional game. 

That speaks for itself.

Netanyahu offered few details on the way forward in peace talks with the Palestinians, except to reject charges of "war crimes" and "genocide" leveled by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, last week.

What war criminal doesn't?

He went on to say he was prepared to make “a historic compromise,” but he could not agree to pulling Israel from territories that could become havens for militant groups that would threaten Israel's security

Meaning the Israelis are not going anywhere and are going to incrementally gobble up more land.

Netanyahu said Hamas committed "the real war crimes" in Gaza by using Palestinian civilians as human shields. "Israel was using its missiles to protect its children. Hamas was using its children to protect its missiles," he declared. 

Israel ties Palestinians to jeeps and makes them knock on doors as human shields. That's been documented.

He also assailed the UN Human Rights Council, accusing it of singling out Israel for criticism when other parts of the world are "steeped in tyranny and terror."

Globe missed that one like they missed others? 

The whole thing has been rewritten, too!

"Netanyahu Bombs, but the NY Times Remains True to Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations yesterday, reportedly a flop at the assembly hall, also received short shrift in The New York Times. The article appears at the bottom of page 4 and gives scant notice to Netanyahu’s attempt to rebut Palestinian charges of war crimes and genocide in Gaza.

The Times thus refused to cooperate with the prime minister’s plan to use his time at the podium defending Israel against accusations made by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the UN last week. In other ways, however, the newspaper stays within its Israeli-centric boundaries, failing to note the errors in Netanyahu’s broad claims that Islamic extremists are a threat worldwide.

“Netanyahu, at U.N., Lashes Out at ‘Poisonous’ ISIS and Hamas,” by Somini Sengupta and David E. Sanger, reports the prime minister’s charges that the Islamic State and Hamas are “branches of the same poisonous tree.” Appealing to the widespread abhorrence of ISIS, he asserted that all militant Islamists are dangerous, regardless of their affiliation.

Although experts dismiss these allegations, the Times allows Netanyahu’s comments to stand unchallenged. Readers never hear, for instance, from Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, who states that “there is no comparison between Hamas and ISIS except in Israeli propaganda. Hamas is a Palestinian religious-national movement, not a world Jihad organization.”

Nor do they hear from Hamas expert Mark Perry, who notes that Hamas is a democratic institution and that ISIS rejects democracy and charges Hamas with having “sold out.” While Hamas is a political party, taking part in elections and producing plans for governance, ISIS is rather like the Khmer Rouge, Perry says, intent on destruction as a first step to a new order.

Perry makes this observation about the charge that “Hamas is ISIS and ISIS is Hamas”: “Neither Netanyahu nor any other Israelis who have made the claim has made much of an effort to support it. Manifestly, because it is unsupportable.”

It is the Times’ job to challenge Israeli spokespersons when they make such charges. Readers should be hearing from knowledgeable commentators like Perry and Levy, but their voices are censored in its pages. The Times would rather let the false linkage of ISIS to Hamas stand and thus support Israel’s attempt to demonize Hamas at every turn.

Today’s story also fails to inform readers how Netanyahu was received at the UN, but readers can turn to Barak Ravid of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, who has provided us with the scene in the assembly hall. “The General Assembly plenum was mostly empty,” Ravid writes, “and the diplomats who were there sank into their chairs and looked bored.” The only leaders on hand were the foreign ministers of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Bahrain.

A loyal group of supporters, including billionaire Sheldon Adelson, sat in the upper balcony to cheer their patron. “They rose and applauded every time they detected a need to boost morale,” Ravid writes, “when Netanyahu mentioned Iran, when he declared that the IDF was the most moral army in the world, and when he attacked the organization under whose logo he was speaking.”

Ravid says that Netanyahu tried to repeat a former strategy of holding up an image to illustrate his point, but this time it fell flat: “Instead of the bomb drawing and the red line of two years ago that became a viral video hit, we got a poster with a less-than-clear photo of Palestinian children playing near a Hamas rocket launcher. The people in the first rows had to strain to understand what they were looking at, and Netanyahu himself needed a second or two to turn the picture right-side up.”

(For photos of the empty assembly hall and the image gimmick, see the Los Angeles Times, “Netanyahu calls on Arabs to take first step for peace.”)

If addresses by the Iranian or Palestinian presidents had bombed, would the Times have hinted that all was not well? If Netanyahu had found an enthusiastic reception this week, would that have been newsworthy enough for the paper? Last week Abbas received a standing ovation, and the newspaper made no mention of it. It has been up to others to fill in the blanks for both stories.

Of more concern, however, is the consistent failure of the Times to set the record straight about Hamas. (See TimesWarp, “Hamas in its Own Words.”) Although it is capable of defying Netanyahu, the Times is more than happy to “delegitimize” the Islamic party at every opportunity, following the lead of official spokespersons in Washington and Tel Aviv.

It's all fake, folks (where did they bust that Mossad cell?).

"Netanyahu’s lavish spending habits captivate Israelis" by William Booth, Washington Post  February 18, 2015

JERUSALEM — After three terms and nine years with him as their prime minister, Israelis know a lot about Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara. Now they also know how much the couple spend on hair and makeup, maid service, and swimming pool water.

On Tuesday, at precisely 4 p.m., the Israeli State Comptroller released an eagerly awaited report condemning the Netanyahus for ‘‘excessive spending’’ at both the prime minister’s official residence at 2 Balfour St. in Jerusalem and the couple’s private beachfront villa in Caesarea.

Want to know how much the Netanyahus billed the Israeli taxpayer for take-out food in 2011? It was 92,781 shekels, or about $24,000, ‘‘even though there was a chef in the residence,’’ the comptroller noted disapprovingly.

The comptroller’s office warned of more investigations in the offing — into the issue of improper bottle recycling by the Netanyahus, for one. Apparently, the couple pocketed $1,000 in cash refunds paid by stores when staff returned drink bottles for deposit. The bottles were purchased by the state, the report noted, and so the refunds should have been returned to the treasury. 

He's no different than Olmert taking envelopes.

There could also be more to come about patio furniture. According to the report, some teak tables and chairs were suspiciously moved from the patio at the official residence to the patio at the private residence — and then moved back again.

The scandal, and that is what Israeli commentators are calling it, comes just one month before national elections on March 17.

An attempt to get rid of Bibi the embarrassment?

Pollsters predict a tight race between Netanyahu and his main challenger, Labor Party leader Isaac Herzog, whose spending on pizza and grooming are not yet known.

Ha-ha, but I smell a stolen election!!

The Netanyahu family’s use of state funds between 2009 and 2013 could raise criminal issues, and it certainly violates ethical standards, State Comptroller Joseph Shapira said Tuesday. Matters are now before the attorney general.

One might think Israelis would be more interested in candidate positions regarding threats posed by enemies Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

Yeah, one would think.... unless.... those threats, you know.....

The 2015 campaign has been notable more for its goofy, spoofy political ads than substantive debate (and there’s been no candidate debate). 

Like an AmeriKan farce, 'er, election.

In his front-page commentary Tuesday in the newspaper Maariv, columnist Ben Caspit got the national mood just right when he admitted, ‘‘It is embarrassing even to write about this. But it can’t be helped, this is what there is, and it’s ours.’’

The press is going bananas. Leaked copies of the report were alternatively described by the news media as ‘‘severe,’’ ‘‘dramatic,’’ and ‘‘embarrassing.’’ Israeli television went live with the release of the report — followed five minutes later by rebuttals from the prime minister’s party.

Among the revelations: From 2009 to 2013, average monthly cleaning expenses in the Netanyahu household were about $20,000. ‘‘We see this as much too high,’’ Shapira opined, though he did not say what it should cost to clean two homes frequently used for official entertaining.

Also: The Netanyahus hire electricians on weekends and high holy days such as Yom Kippur, which costs a fortune.

Netanyahu’s Likud party issued a statement emphasizing there is ‘‘no indication of any assault on the public’s integrity and certainly no indication of any criminal transgressions.’’

Meaning a crime has been committed and the public pur$e has been a$$aulted.

On the prime minister’s behalf, Likud blamed an ‘‘embittered former public employee ... leading a campaign of slander and defamation’’ and said the Israeli news media’s ‘‘focus on irrelevant minutiae’’ were designed to orchestrate a Netanyahu defeat.

Maybe, but that is a non-denial denial.

It's obvious the Washington Post doesn't clear things through Israel like the New York Times does.
