Non-violent civil disobedience crushed by Apartheid Israel
There have been a large number of Israeli raids on Palestinian villages, with dozens of Palestinians abducted. These kinds of raids are, of course, commonplace for the occupied West Bank, but in recent days it appears the Israeli military has targeted sites of particularly strong Palestinian civil resistance to the separation wall.
For three consecutive days this week, Israeli forces invaded Jayyous, a village battling for survival as their agricultural land is lost to the wall and neighbouring Jewish colony. The soldiers occupied homes, detained residents, blocked off access roads, vandalised property, beat protestors, and raised the Israeli flag at the top of several buildings.
Jayyous is one of the Palestinian villages in the West Bank that has been non-violently resisting the separation wall for several years now. It was clear to the villagers that this latest assault was an attempt to intimidate the protest movement.
I'm surprised the maistream media haven't picked up on this, since it so strongly reinforces the idea that Arabs are violent fanatics and...
Sorry, my morning coffee must have just kicked in there.

Zionist supremacists continue dispossession and ethnic cleansing of an indigenous people.
ISRAEL has ordered hundreds of Palestinians to leave their homes in annexed east Jerusalem, warning their houses are illegal, officials and residents said today.
"The owners of 80 houses in the al-Bustan neighbourhood have received eviction notices saying that the structures will be destroyed because they are illegal," said Hatem Abdel Kader, an official responsible for Jerusalem affairs in the Palestinian government.
He said 1500 people were living in the threatened houses in the neighbourhood abutting the Old City.
Amnest accuses Zionist supremacist regime of war crimes - calls for arms ban
Amnesty says white phosphorous used in war crimes by Zionist supremacist regime were supplied by the U.S.
White phosphorus bombs used by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip were produced and supplied by American arms manufacturers, according to an Amnesty International report that called for a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel today.
Israeli racial supremacist pelted with shoes
Leader of racial supremacists threatens war against Iran.
If being a spokesman for the Israeli army makes someone ipso-facto a "racial supremacist" what do you call a spokesman for the Chinese government after their latest skirmish in Tibet? A Chinese racial supremacist. During the war between Iran and Iraq - were the spokesmen for each country both "racial supremacists" If not what do you call them. For thousands of years - countries have waged war against one another and when all is said and done its about two competing claims to territory. Are Hamas or Fatah spokespersona also "racial supremacists" who just happen to think that a different race is superior?
You're clearly just trying to be provocative for the sake of being provocative. If someone posted ten separate messages in the space of ten minutes all referring to atrocities by "Islamist hate mongers" and "Muslim religious freaks" - you'd be the first person to be running to the moderators calling for disciplinary action.
Yay Israel! Let's hear it for Israel! Stop singling out Israel! Whoopee!
The Chinese government is not founded on a philosophy of racial superiority. Israel is not just founded on such a philosophy, it is actively engaged in carrying out that philosophy. Given your statements in opposition to religion and race, I am surprised you feel the need to defend a religious ideolgical parallel to white supremacy.
Israel was founded on a philosophy of Jews having a homeland. Period. No one ever said they were "better" or "superior" to anyone else. If there is a passage in the Israeli consitution where they declare themselves to be racially superior - I'd like to see it. There may be individuals there who think they are superior - but I have news for you - in every country in the world you don't have to look far to find elements of cultural narcissism. Canada was founded under a sentiment that we were superior to the Americans because we were believers in the monarchy. I'm sure that if Quebec ever becomes independent people will argue that it will have been founded on a philosophy of Quebecois racial superiority.
The Nazis used to say this crap all the time - "those Jews claim to be the chosen people - we'll show them a thing or two! Off with their heads!". Goebbels used to give speeches like that all the time.
"Israel was founded on a philosophy of Jews having a homeland. Period. "
By dispossessing, ethnic cleansing, and denying the civil, legal, and political rights of the indigenous population that is horded into camps, subject to brutality and humiliations, and mass murder only because they are not Jews.
White separatists movements say all they want is a homeland too. What's the difference? I remain suprised you would be defending a supremacist movement. Is it only because it is a Jewish supremacist movement or would you also support a white supremacist movement founded around establishing a homeland for Aryans?
Every country on the face of the earth has some innate sense of its own superiority - otherwise why exist at all. You can take issue with specific policies that Israel has employed - as do I. But, the founding philosophy of Israel is really no different from the founding philosophy of any country. Israel was founded on providing a country for Israelis - Argentina was founded to provide a country for Argentines. If the Tamil Tigers get their way, Tamil Ealam will be founded based on a philosophy that Tamils should have a country of their own - and I don't expect any members of the Sinhala minority living in heavily Tamil areas to feel at home there either.
Yes it is. It is specifically founded on the philosophy as an ethnic state granting superiority to one ethnic class over another and on the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous population. That is Zionism - an ideology of exclusion. I don't mind if it excludes me in the same manner as I don't care if the Aryan Nation excludes me, but I object to its exclusion of the indigenous population and its use of Aparthied-type laws to enforce that exclusion. You are making excuses for an official racism.
Don't you know about the double standard? Forget Dufur, India, Pakistan, Iran, Rwanda etc. (Rule # 1 ) If there is any criticism to be levelled it MUST be against Israel that "racist, Zionist, Apartheid" sate. (Did I leave any possible vilification out?) That's why Syd Ryan is simply irreverent. But tread lightly because begging to differ is a banning offence. And (rule #2) what ever you do don't talk about anti-semitism.
Why are you people singling out Israel?
Surely there are countless other aggressive, ethnocentric, colonial outposts occupying territory illegally, refusing the return of refugees, all in violation of countless U.N. resolutions and World Court decisions?
Ok, well, maybe not "countless" others...
Would you believe, some others? No?
How about, another one that existed once?
I'm missing your point. Are you arguing that Zionist racism and the dispossession of an indigenous people ought to be tolerated because there is ethnic violence in Darfur and elsewhere? Is that your point?
I am stating a fact, not arguing, that Israel has become an obsession yet other situations far worse and pressing are ignored. That is the double standard.
That is not a fact. That is an argument. One you're clearly not prepared for. So would it have been your argument that the world was obsessed unjustly with South African Apartheid in the 80s and black civil rights in the US during the 60s? Were activists unjustly obsessed with ending the slave trade in the 1800s? Is that the argument you are making?
What situations are far worse and pressing?
Good points FM.
"What situations are far worse and pressing?"
Something like two million people have died in Congo in the last two years. That strikes me as far worse and more pressing by any objective standard.

What about Morocco's occupation of Western Sahara?
Stockholm, there are worse conflicts in the world, but last time I checked, Congo didn't have nuclear weapons, and wasn't making 200 million Arabs incredibly angry.
Israel is a major player on the world stage, we would be foolish to ignore it.
Besides, why can't we focus on Israel and Congo at the same time? Why do we have to ignore Israel's atrocities, while focusing all our attention on another country?

Thank you for illustrating my point. That's why you are irrelevant.

It makes me sick that some here and elsewhere are still whining about Hamas rockets that don't hit anything, while Israel is kidnapping and murdering people and the media keeps silent!
Disgusting prejudice!
Disgusting prejudice!
Polite indignation by comparison with your obsession with "that Zionist Entity." But you are right you're hypocrisy is indeed disgusting.
And again you are right Israel kidnapped and murdered the soldiers that sparked the Lebanon Invasion?
All the while the Israel controlled media is completely silent. Well then thank god for elightenend intellectuals like you.
