Boycotting Israel



Kudos to both Lawson and Mowrey for a splendid video and another compelling indictment of Israel's criminal and callous behavior against Palestinians in general and those in Gaza in particular most recently a year ago; it is so frustrating that eloquent testimonies likes yours and the recent video by Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East never get the kind of VISIBILITY that pro-Israel fraudulent narratives and witnesses receive in the major media on a regular basis because of zionist control of the latter.

This is the sort of visibility that regretfully is systematically denied to brave and principled justice peace activists by the so called mainstream media whether print, tv or otherwise because they are either owned or controlled by Zionists or their supporters.

Regretfully and ominously a new trend has appeared recently of You Tube and Google removing compelling videos (giving mysterious or specious reasons for doing so) which indict Israel for its daily abuses against non Jews and the horrors it has inflicted most recently on Gaza and which it continues to inflict through its illegal and genocidal siege against the devastated and overpopulated strip of land, with the support of the US and European Governments and servile complicity of Egypt.

God bless you and all the wonderful people for your continued heroic efforts in the struggle for truth and justice in the Holy Lands and for trying to bring to account Israel's relentless criminal behavior against the Palestinians with US of A's complicity and support.

With best wishes.

Both videos express the horrifying truth about Israel/US/UK policies of extermination. War crimes that must be answered. Any war crime is a choice by the individual and leadership.

May the peace voices be heard now and the atrocities end. "God is able to provide us with every blessing in abundance, so that...we may share abundantly in good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8

This is truly a blood-curdling video. The photographic and video-graphic depiction of Israel’s barbarity left me quite stunned, even though I have watched the live coverage of the war on Aljazeera TV and also the BBC. While watching this video one doesn’t get a good feeling about President Obama; he came across as a callous human being who does not feel the anguish and the pain the Palestinians felt, and the brutality of Israeli assault they endured.

Thank you very much for posting this video. I hope a large number of caring people from around the world will watch this video, and think of what Israel has done.

Now that Obama’s efforts to restart the peace process has failed because he has firmly aligned himself with Netanyahu regarding Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, I hope the UN will intervene and take the necessary action to end Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.

This is a powerful exposure of the war crime committed by Israel against the innocents of Gaza, a crime that both Israel, the US and the UK must answer for.

Until now quite a few people have talked about filing complaints against George Bush, Dick Chaney and Condoleezza Rice, et al., for committing War Crimes and also Crime against Humanity, in the International Criminal Court in Hague; but Professor Francis Boyle has actually done it. I have been waiting eagerly to hear this good news for a couple of years now, and I am truly happy and relieved that Professor Boyle has taken this action.

I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to him for showing a great deal of courage. The Iraq War has been an unnecessary, unprovoked, and a most abominable war.

I do not agree that the President talks non-sense. His talk is full of sense because his concern is how to remain and hence what is to be said in order to remain as the president of the American Empire for a second term in office. Obama the first ever non-White President does not want history to record as an incompetent failure as a one time President, hence he has to say all sorts of lies, he has to twist and turn, he has to be a pervert with warped logic and he has to please the powerful Jewish Lobby.

In my opinion that is the truth and that is not non sense as Brother Alan Hart says. Obama is honest (but deceived the Arabs, the underdogs and the oppressed Palestinians and hence a big dishonest leader)So what does the future hold for the poor Palestinians?

Only time can tell, I do not know, may be more and more Iranian type massive revolutions in the obnoxious monarchies of the Arab world, may be the strengthening of the real, real Jihadis as the scriptures mention, may be a miracle from one True God Almighty to teach a lesson to the perpetrators and persecutors right in front of the God-Conscious, I do not know, though I am a believer, but I have heard the Arabs saying, " Well the Zionists have had it for 63 years, and the crusaders had it for 140 years,let us wait for 77 years more for a SALADIN AYUBI to be born, it is not such a huge wait in the history of a brave nation, the final success will be that of Palestinians: one nation where the Jews and Arabs can live together. No power however mighty has been surviving without destruction if the laws of God are violated.

Greetings and aloha, Mr. John, from Hawaii, where just weeks ago you presented a concert.

I didn't go to it, but the reviews were of the rave variety; my son-in-law reported that it was vintage(-plus) Elton John.

I am horrified, and saddened, and angered, by the brutal colonial occupation of the Palestinians' rightful homeland by Israel.

This occupation is decades long and continues before our very eyes, with no prospect for near-term surcease for the Christian and Muslim Palestinians.

I have learned that you plan to present a concert in Tel Aviv in June. Mr. John, that would be the wrong signal, in a place of centrality to the continuation of the sadistic occupation, at a time when principled opposition to Israel's reign of state terror and racist exclusivity is building across the globe.

I ask that you respond, with equal principle and the humanity I know you possess, to the need to let Israel know that "not now, not tomorrow, not ever again" applies most particularly and urgently to the land of Palestine and its suffering children, women, and men.

Please reflect deeply and make the right decision: cancel the planned concert in Israel!

Thank you, Sir Elton, for your time and attention;

I am

Yes, I am an insignificant cog on the Palestinian torture wheel but cannot get off it; Anyway I jump I must, my conscience tells me;

Bear witness,

But is anybody listening ?

I get lots of emails from individuals and organisations bemoaning the plight of the Palestinians. None of the plethora of communications including my own here, makes any difference Obama has broken any vague promise to put pressure on the Israelis and The European Union does business with them without any conscience whatsoever. The West castigates Iran for suspected nuclear development and yet ignores the Israeli Atom Bomb which has never been declared and no inspection teams have ever ventured into the black hole of the Israeli Defence Forces.

Today Karen Armstrong writes in the Guardian of the hostility she encountered at a conference in Egypt, the real anger of academics and also the man or woman in the street because of Western indifference to Palestine and other Arab countries.<p. <p.The Chilcot inquiry is, she says important;for the world of Islam to see our regret and horror at Tony Blair's actions on Iraq and his indifference to the Palestine Question.

Tony Blair said on his appointment as Special Envoy after his first trip to Gaza that he had no idea of the terrible conditions the people were living in.

He had been Prime Minister for ten years and been involved at all the " Top Tables" in the world. Like too many Jews he didn't "see" the Palestinans ?

I am reading Jeff Halper's book An Israeli In Palestine He gives chapter and verse on the criminal activities of the Israelis. He writes that they are a racist ethnocracy and cannot claim to be a democracy He cites the blowing up of houses as one of the worst psychological traumas inflicted on the Palestinians, children's lives ruined by the sight of their elders helpless in front of a brutish soldier and his bulldozer.

He repeats the stories of the stealing of the land. He repeats the accusations that Israel ignores the Geneva Conventions which they signed up to like their brothers and sisters in crime, The USA I know that intellectuals, historians and intelligent readers will know of this book and Kathy and Bill Christison's Palestine in Pieces; of Ilan Pappe's The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Sacred Landscape by Meron Benvenisti, the list is endless. And there's the rub These brave writers and activists continue to rail against the illegalities of the Israelis.

Halper reminds us yet again that since its inception in 1948 The Stae of Israel policies all centre on Nishul,ie dispossesion of the Arabs "The Arab must be persuaded to trek" said Israel Zangwell in 1922 The Zionist racist Alan Dershowitz writes that (illogically and inaccurately) the Arabs were recent immigrants in Palestine in 1948.

He is like the idiot racists who believe the Protocols Of The Elders of Zion to be true. Halper also writes of the percentage of Israelis and Jews in the diaspora who will not listen or take note of their governments ghastly, cruel and illegal behaviour. The Chief Rabbi of Britain has defended their Zionist creed, the paranoid Howard Jacobson leaps in with anti-semitism nonsense. ( The Independent).

I myself experienced the "lobby" at the University of

London's Medical School at St Georges Tooting when I attempted to perform my monologue Bitter Fruit Of Palestine and was eventually prevented from doing so by a racist member of the Jewish Society and a senior consultant.

I live a comfortable middle class life but not a day goes by on which I forget the Palestinians and see the at my inability to bring about change where it counts. I can send more emails and epistles to my M.P or the weak political parties.

Nothing changes.

I look at the dates of publication of the books I read. Many are more than ten year's old and if anything the horrors they relate are worse than ever My wife and two daughters have the right of return to Eretz Israel but not the Palestinians who leave for an overseas visit or to work. My daughters could get maried in Tel Aviv but only in a religious ceremony.

A democracy ?

I have written at length because I am frustrated,depressed and sick at heart after reading Halper's book We who support international law and the rights of our fellow human beings are like pebbles on a beach, washed away by Israeli propaganda, and their indifference to any criticism (Goldstone Report amongst others).

The IDF rules the hearts and minds of the Israelis and their belligerence and hatred of the Palestinians stains us all with blood.

Richard Morris

Chancellor Merkel’s involvement of German troops in Afghanistan assures her of support at election time of pro-Israel mainstream media since the coalition is not only fighting the anti-Israel Taliban but the war diverts attention from Israel’s continued theft of the land of Palestinians and its atrocities against them.

If Germans, like the citizens of America, Canada and so don’t want their soldiers killed in Afghanistan then they simply have to avoid voting for candidates who rely on Organized Jewry’s money, media and manpower at election time.

The Honorable Jim Traficant is not only a true American patriot, but he is a prophet who has suffered the fate of other true prophets.

His message is vitally important to America at this critical juncture, for he incarnates a truth that, when massively known, will help set us free.

Werner Lange

You Palestinians are disorganized and indecisive. Unable to organize yourselves into a cohesive and unified force. History has repeatedly shown that internal strength comes not with size and numbers but with resolve and unity.

You have managed to splinter your hope of potential power and independence by fractured political disunity, making all your efforts to a Homeland weak and feable.Youre dissaray brings laughter in the Nazi bent Israeli camp because they know, until all Palestinian speak with one voice you will wither hopelessly and they will win.

I have followed your plight for a long time with hopes of youre independence and a Homeland with control of West Jerusalem. I fear it may be a lost cause.

As to the Israelis in power, they have become a drudge of unholy thugs and a menace not only in the Middle East but in almost every geopolitical space. I have witnessed first hand here in the U.S. their insidious infiltration into every facet of our daily lives. Jews have manged to spread tentacles in so many areas here that their power and influence has our whole system at their mercy. Our elected officials seem to cower in their duties for fear of keeping their jobs. They Jews seem to have picked up where they left off in Germany. I hope not for, their sake.

I have rambled on too much, maybe. I for one hope for Peace in you region. At age 75 I will not see it but as all the many millions beside me, share the aspirations and dreams for all Palestinian to be free soon of Israeli tyranny.

PS

Remember though it may sometimes seem so, not all Jews are evil.

Such comments sound in my ear like "we learned from a reliable source that the bear shits in the woods".

The entire world with no exeptions has used WP in the last half century. And it is not even illegel, that is - it depends how you use it. Even in the hilarious Goldstone report it's clearly stated that using WP does not constitute a crime alone, you can read that piece of garbage on the UN site

Bernard Sidi

Great work getting Santana to cancel if it's true. It's already an injustice that Israel's allowed to play in European soccer championships and Eurovision Song Contest.

The world must rise in protest against the growing Obama-Netanyahu plan to bomb Iran. It's time the world knew that Israel has far more nuclear weapons than Iran will ever have. And has ignored (is ignoring) more UN resolutions. And the US has more nukes than the rest of the world put together. Axis of Evil? Axis of hypocrisy!

Thanks for cancelling your concert in Israel.

Carlos Santana cancels Israel concert???

We have received a report that guitar legend Carlos Santana has cancelled the scheduled June 3rd concert in Zionist Israel. We are in the process of verifying the report and will be reporting on further developments

The report says that Carlos Santana has promised a full refund to the thousands of Israelis who had already purchased tickets. Zionist promoter Shuki Weiss, the Israeli behind nearly all of the big-name concerts in Israel, was surprised and disappointed to hear of the news, the report said.

La Voz de Aztlan had previously reported on the "Concert of Shame" and many people responded by asking Carlos to cancel the concert considering the war crimes and massacre of over 300 Palestinian children that the Zionist regime committed about a year ago. See http://www.aztlan.net/santana_concert_of_shame.htm

This is great news if the report is true. All reports coming out of Israel have to be verified because Zionists are notorious deceivers.

Very good, the story of the USS Liberty needs to be spread far and wide. It has been suppressed by the US Gov't for 40 years. I correspond with one of the survivors on a semi-regular basis, and what happened to them is high crime by a complicit gov't. Israel is NOT a friend of the US.

More (Americans) need to be aware of the stranglehold that Israel and the Zionists of AIPAC have on our foreign policy. They are literally sucking the life out of this country and the rest of the world.

Thank you for keeping this story alive. We owe it to the 34 who perished, and the survivors who took care of them, and the wounded.

Dear Cynthia,

I’m sure all the words will fail to reflect my gratitude to you, may God protect you from the Israelis, I’m a Palestinian living a broad, I can’t even visit Palestine.

I hope one day Palestine will be liberated from the Israeli occupation in order to invite you to Palestine together with all people who voiced or expressed opposition to this unjust occupation.

May God protect you and take care of you .

The Viva Palestina convoy, led by George Galloway, is about to leave Gaza after having been permitted to enter for a period of 24 hours after waiting 11 days in Cairo for permission to enter Gaza. That in and of itself is a major story when expanded to include the inability of Gazans to exit The Strip--even if only to enter another part of their country, the West Bank or to move about freely in the fictional "Palestinian State."

I say fictional because it continues to dwindle even while peace talks are underway. Fictional, because Palestinian elections deemed by international observers to be free and fair, don't count if the US- and Israel-approved party loses, and the winners get to sit for years in an Israeli jail. Fictional, because they use Israel's currency here, the shekel, and the international roaming on our US cell phones indicates calls are from Israel.

Gaza is beautiful. Gaza is full of life, despite Israel's Operation Cast Lead. And now, I have seen, Gaza has been bombed to smithereens. I think I've mastered my video camera enough to share some images with you. I'll post them on the sites below when I return.

In the meantime, my fellow Americans and citizens of the world, we have a lot to do to put right all the wrong things done in our name. Much love to all of you who helped me, guided me, prayed for me, to make this successful entry into Gaza happen. Viva Palestina!!Free Gaza!!--

Everyone said it couldn't be done, that we were insane, that we would never get into Gaza. But we did, and we got in four more times before Israel began to stop us. But we will go again and again. Never underestimate the power of determined people, especially those people working for justice for the Palestinians.

Dreams … Aspirations,

Love … Laughter,

Tears … Sorrow,

All in you, yet unrealized,

O Palestine, My Bride …

Your Silwan … screams,

Your Gaza … gagged,

Your Hebron … horrified,

Your Ramallah … wrenching,

All in you, yet in tears,

O Palestine, My Bride …

Your green gardens … brown,

Your flowing rivers … dried,

Your mighty mountains … humbled,

Your dreamy deserts … ruined,

All in you, yet you smile,

O Palestine, My Bride …

O Palestine, My Bride …

You measure yourself not in miles … but in

Checkpoints and Roadblocks,

You name your cities & towns - not by name …

but by Walls, Fences & Barriers,

You visit your Villages and Hamlets … but through

Trenches and over Boulders,

All in you – keep smiling and

All of me - keep dreaming

for your Love & Laughter,

for my Tears & Sorrow,

One Day – O Palestine

You Will Be My Bride

end

Shakeel – You have captured so much emotion in so few words – sign of a great poem! I know it is difficult to keep heart when so much seems heartless, but the beating of your own drum will be heard!!

For Gaza and the Palestinian People

‘Spirit of humanity'

As long as

The people of Palestine

Have no liberty, no freedom

Those of us with a voice to speak

Must speak

As long as

The children of Gaza

Live in fear of Israeli

Bombs and occupation

Those of us with a voice to speak

Must speak

As long as

Six million Palestinian refugees

Are deportees around the world

Those of us with a voice to speak

Must speak

As long as

Millions of god's children

Are hungry, imprisoned, and without hope

Those of us with a voice to speak

Must speak

Because it is in speaking

We find our liberty, our freedom

And no prison bars can take away

Our peace, our love

Which is the true spirit of humanity
