Zionism joins the deadly league of -isms

There are no words for what has happened in Gaza.

Israel has invaded the territories. They have unleashed what Juan Cole describes as an all out war on Gaza Palestinians after the  "micro-war" waged by the same Muslim fundamentalist Hamas party Israel funded and favored to weaken and split the very secular PLO.

Şahid ol Ya Rab!

 It is mercilessly and gleefully destroying everything on its path; terrorizing survivors not just with bombs but even by calling and texting them that about how their untimely death by their hands is not their fault but Hamas'.

Israel is becoming the enemy that it so desperately fears and seeks to destroy : a remorseless genocidal force that knows no end to violence.

Faris Odeh - Al-Aqsa Intifada.

Paranoid dreams of revenge for pogroms and holocausts past have perverted the idea of "the right of Israel to exist". The notion is not anymore about survival.  "Israel's Right To Exist" has become synonymous to the right of  Jewish Zionists to occupy, terrorize and wipe clean from the earth as you do with lice every single Palestinian.

Is this what we, the citizens of the United States are subsidizing to the tune of $3 billion dollars a year? Yes.

Our hands are covered in the blood of innocents.

Sigh

There is so much more to it than this. The insanity of Hamas, who is being blamed by Egypt, Fatah (not surprisingly) and Saudi Arabia for the current war, and who had the PRIME opportunity to be a true government and seek a diplomatic solution but instead opted to attack Israeli homes and schools. The stupid and corrupt broth of Israeli politics that has the three biggest candidates for Prime Minister who are trying to out hawk eachother. The complete failure of the US to even seriously try to broker a peace agreement since Bush took office. Pressure on the Israeli government from citizens who have been targeted by the Hamas rockets and mortars, who have been staging protests and civil disobedience to get their government taking action against Hamas. The failure of any other Palestinian faction to provide a viable option to Hamas. Fatah is mired in corruption and ineffectiveness and no other faction having much more to offer.

Here is a Salon.com article providing the view (which I may not completely agree with) from Israel regarding why this war is POPULAR there, in ways that neither Lebanon war was. And I heard on BBC news this morning two Hamas spokespeople saying nothing but Israelis civilians deserve to die and a somewhat slippery seeming Israeli spokesperson saying that a main requirement Israel has for a cease fire is for a mechanism, perhaps international observers, in place to prevent the rearming of Hamas.

Hamas are effing idiots

but as Juan Cole said, Israel fed that monster before Iran even decided they were fair game. It's like the situation with Saddam Hussein and the US ---only worse because at least Iraqis had a country. Palestinians? Not at all. And that's what's sad : on one side are zionists on the other side islamists and in the middle innocent israelis and palestinians.

To be precise...

Not sure you really mean Zionists. I consider myself more or less Zionist because I support the existence of Israel. That is pretty much what Zionist means.

Normally it is Likud that provides Israel with its stupidest policies, but currently Likud is setting the tone for all the parties, including Labor. Kind of like when America started blinding adopting Republican memes after 9/11.

I have always maintained that by and large 90% of both sides just want to get on with life and are hostages of the remaining 10%. And peace will only come when the 90% on each side reign in their insane 10%.

QUOTES

To WILLIAM H. HERNDON, Esq. February 15, 1848.— LETTER TO WILLIAM H. HERNDON. WASHINGTON, February 15, 1848.

Dear William :

Your letter of the 29th January was received last night. Being exclusively a constitutional argument, I wish to submit some reflections upon it in the same spirit of kindness that I know actuates you. Let me first state what I understand to be your position. It is that if it shall become necessary to repel invasion, the President may, without violation of the Constitution, cross the line and invade the territory of another country and that whether such necessity exists in any given case the President is the sole judge.

Before going further consider well whether this is or is not your position. If it is, it is a position that neither the President himself, nor any friend of his, so far as I know, has ever taken. Their only positions are— first, that the soil was ours when the hostilities commenced ; and second, that whether it was rightfully ours or not, Congress had annexed it, and the President for that reason was bound to defend it; both of which are as clearly proved to be false in fact as you can prove that your house is mine. The soil was not ours, and Congress did not annex or attempt to annex it. But to return to your position. Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose, and you allow him to make war at pleasure. Study to see if you can fix any limit to his power in this respect, after having given him so much as you propose. If to-day he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him Î You may say to him, " I see no probability of the British invading us "; but he will say to you, " Be silent: I see it, if you don't."

The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons: Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This our convention understood to be the most oppressive of all kingly oppressions, and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. But your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where kings have always stood. Write soon again.

Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.

— Abraham Lincoln
