Obama has to support the International Tribunal for War Crimes against Israel…
Or The World Order lead by the US and the rule of International Law will definitely fall apart
The Attack by Israeli forces to the populated Gaza strip and the silence of the world could mean the end of the structures and institutions created after the Second World War. If a new order emerge of the chaos in the international relations when the old rules are been used discretionary by the world powers and the United States loses definitely its position is still not clear. Shall Russia, China and Europe work together a new framework or are we heading to a time of disorder and chaos? Obama has the historical opportunity to revive at least the illusion of an international order respected by everyone. He can choose now if his administration will be a respected one by showing leadership or will continue the path of G. W. Bush and further destroy the US reputation.
The passivity in the blooded attack by military Israeli forces to an enemy with almost nothing to put against in military terms and the bombardment of cities with huge numbers of civilian causalities can be compared with the worst crimes perpetrated in times of war in the past. Here are Guernica, Warszawa Ghetto, Dresden, Faluya, Leningrad and Gaza in the same shameful company.
To clarify my opinion that we are heading to the total disintegration of the World Order can we take some recent events in the international arena.
Georgia attacked the South Ossetian capital last year in order to recover what they considered was Georgian territory from the separatist that wanted being included in the Russian Federation. Russian reacted with unexpected force sending a large contingent of tanks and military aircraft to “punish the aggressor” and “save lives of Russian Citizens”. The Russian military power crashed in a few days the Georgian army and bombed a few small towns in Georgia. The situation bring the world to the edge of a bigger war when the USA send war ships to the black sea and the NATO made sharp statements against Russia. The press in the West condemned Russia without exception. The Russian opinion could not understand why the West could see what was happened there, but the Russians government retired relatively quickly from Georgia due to the international press ion. Now, the question is: Do you thing that Russia shall doubt to bomb anybody that treat their citizens in the future when Israel can do that without punishment? The relation of forces involved in the two cases can not be different in any realistic timeframe.
We can compare too how the so called “International Community” i.e. The US and the EU treated the conflict between Serbia and Kosovo and how they treated Israel-Palestine. It is obvious that despite the great similarities in the two conflicts the reactions are very different.
Serbia send the army to take control of the historical Serbian region of Kosovo that was claiming independency and carried out armed attacks to the Serbian population and government institutions in the region. The population of Kosovo was mainly emigrated Albans that had become majority. The West reacted with unrestricted support to the Kosovo rebels and together with the US bombed Serbia in order to stop the Serbian military operation in the region that was classified as “Ethnic Cleaning” by human right defenders in the West.
In Palestine have we a people that had been displaced from their properties, houses and soil during more that 60 years by now. All attempts to resist this crime have been declared as terrorism, despite that the UN: s foundation chart gave the right to every people in the world to resist foreign occupation by any means. We have to have in mind that the Nazis also called terrorists to the resistance fighters in France, Norway, Greece, Italy, Russia and many others places.
However when the Palestinian people resist the “Ethnic Cleaning” of Palestine and Israel react as Serbia did when Kosovo Albans claim Serbian soil, West react completely different, despite that Kosovo was Serbian from the beginning meanwhile Palestine had been Palestine for more that thousands years now. Here nobody talk about an independent Palestine, About a Palestine State, about to bomb Israel in order to put a stop to the killing of the Palestinians as they did to save the Albanian population from Serbian retaliation. Instead The West recognises Kosovo as an independent state and gave the power to a narco-terrorist organisation in Kosovo.
When Israel react harder than Russia did in Georgia to the attacks of the Islamic resistance in Gaza nobody send wars ship to the coasts of Israel as they did with Russia. Not Russia that take note of the situation and surely glad can cons ate that there is not such a thing as international law. The governments and free press of the West have not condemn Israel as they did with Russia and surely they are not going to treat with broken commercial and military cooperation as they did with Russia.
We see the end of the World leaded by the West.
If the US chose the wrong way this time nobody will hear what they have to say in the future. Not Russia, Not China, Not South America, Nobody. Maybe is better in this way. Why maintain in artificial life something that does work anyway. The Chairman of the UN General assembly seems to think in similar terms when he said last week that the Security Council is in practice dead and called to the General Assembly to treat the siege and bombardment of Civilians in Gaza. The Result was 142 votes in favour of the condemnation of Israel, 4 against (of which one vote was against because Venezuela demanded harder measures and the others 3 were the US, Israel and a little Island in the Pacific) and 8 abstentions. This shows a broad international consensus about what the world feels and what the US supports.
Barak Obama has one time opportunity to initiate his period with justice and restore some credibility to the damaged image of the US. In a time in which the US is heading to an economic meltdown and thereby further loose of its influence in the international relations will be sound and wise to adhere to the rest of the World and stop being the eternal opponent to the will of the community of nations. We can wait and see what Barak Obama will do but not so long time. He has at most 6 month to begin deliver concrete changes in the right direction. After that the disillusion will growth exponentially in the US and around the world.

Nu när anklagelserna om krigsbrott verka ha fått fart måste man gå tillbaka och se vad Israel säger. Israels propagandister (betalda och icke-betalda) argument att de höga civila offren berodde på att Hamas gömde sig bland civila kan lätt avfördas med lite rätt tankegång och rätt fakta.
För den första vad skulle ni tycka om man hade fått ett tips om en mycket farlig person beväpnat med kniv i en galleria en lördagsförmiddag, alltså full med folk, och man skickade dit den nationella insatsstyrka full och tung beväpnat och de började skjuta urskillningslös inne i galleria med den kanske giltiga avsikt att skjuta ihjäl den farliga brottslingen innan han skadar någon? Skulle Ni tycka att polisen gjorde ett bra jobb? Alla rättänkande människor inser att det är jävlig fel metod utom några korkade fanatiker som stödde detta i Sveriges tidningar och TV-kanaler.
För den andra har alla folk som lever under ockupation rätt att göra motstånd med alla tillgängliga medel enligt FN stadgar, art. 51. Nu är det så att palestinierna inte har tillgång till flygplan, artilleri, pansarvagnar, eller andra vapen som en självständig stat skulle kunna anskaffa. Då tar dem vad som finns till hands, inklusive mycket dramatiska åtgärder.
För den tredje Palestina har inte heller en armé. Det finns inga förläggningar där militära enheter är samlade eller regemente. De har miliser, alltså vanliga civila med mer eller mindre militär utbildning och organisation. I fallet Hamas har de troligen någon form av officerskår med lön och dessutom en polisstyrka som också är vanliga anställda. Men största majoritet av de 15-20 000 medlemmar är folk som bor bland de andra. För att jaga dem måste man söka eller bomba i princip allt, för det vet man inte säkert var de sover, äter eller uppehåller sig. Detta visste Israel eller så är dem helt korkade.
Att Hamas inte byggde skyddsrum för den civila befolkningen är nästan skrattretande och visar också på vilken intellektuellt nivå ligger dem som försvarar den oförsvarliga. Gaza har under nästan två år varit belägrade, vilken i sig är en krigshandling, så att nästan ingen mat, inga mediciner, inget material kom in och inga pengar heller. Hur i helvete skulle man bygga skyddsrum när folk inte ens har mat eller vanliga bostäder! Belägring stöddes av USA och genomfördes av Israel i syfte att störta Hamas som kom till makten tack vare den enorma inkompetensen, stupiditeten och fanatismen i Washington och Israel.
En annan vidd spridd uppfattning är att Israel har en av världens bästa armé och soldater. Denna myt har också tagit skadad när de istället för att skicka in dessa ”rambo” valde att bomba på avstånd utan urskillning med tungt artilleri rakt in i en urban miljö. Om de hade varit så bra som de påstår sig att vara kunde de gå in och bekämpa milismän på gatorna, man mot man så att säga. Dessa 10-15 000 israeliska soldater valde fegt istället att hålla sig på avstånd och gjorde enstaka strandhugg in i städerna och alltid gick dem in med stridflyg och pansar som jämnade marken framför dem. De drogs sig snabbt tillbaka när deras förluster började stiga (deras förluster kan ligga på minst det dubbla de anger). Av de 22 dagar långa slakten, gick IDF in endast de 5-6 sista dagarna och när de insåg till sist att det var en omöjlig uppgift inledde de en vapenvila. Det pratas naturligtvis inte om det med faktum kvarstår att dessa speciella trupper och elitförband sket på sig när det gällde att slå på mer eller mindre jämlika villkor. Alltså om det var fegt av Hamas att inte gå ut på den öppna fälten för att bli utplånade med artilleri och stridsflyg, var det tveklös fegt av IDF att inte skicka deras infanteri för att slå ut Hamas milisen. De var helt enkelt för fega för det!
På den militära planen har Israel som var väntat inte lyckas med något. Det visar deras ofattbara inkompetens. Enligt en säkerhetskälla i Israel finns tunnlarna kvar eller kan byggas på nytt relativt snabbt, raketer avfyrades medveten efter den ensidiga vapenvila i en klar signal att de fortfarande finns, av de 15 000 Hamas milismän kanske 300-400 miste livet, kravet på att lyfta belägring har fört fram från tunga politiker, vilken är ett enormt nederlag för Tel-Aviv som håller på att förlora det starkaste kortet de hade för att få Hamas på fall: hunger i Gaza, Mubarak och Abbas har förlorat folkligt stöd p.g.a. sin agerande och nu försöker Mubarak rädda det som räddas kan, och sämst av allt: Nu har världen börja adressera grunden för konflikten: den illegala ockupationen! Notera hur Israels propaganda apparat försöker med alla medel tysta den frågan! Det förlorade dem också!
Att tro att man kan gå in tättbefolkade orter och skjuta vild med massiv eldgivning gav endast världens avsky för det stora antalet civila offer. Det sägs att andelen civila offer ligger runt 50 % men detta därför att man räknar som civila endast kvinnor och barn. Andelen borde ligga på ca 60-70 %. Alltså efter att ha lagt städer i ruiner så att folk inte kan leva där lyckades dem bli av med ca 300 milismän av en total på ca 15 000. Nu är det så att kanske VAR målet att lägga städerna i ruinerna. Alltså en gigantisk och brutal etnisk resning som överträffar många gånger om vad Serbien någon gång gjorde i Kosovo. Den gången bombades Serbien till återhållsamhet och Kosovo fick självständighet. I detta fall kan vi inte hoppas på något liknande om inte Ni sätter er i grunderna för konflikten och bloggar vidare om det. Tystnaden är bruten. Nu är det hög tid att föra fram vad det här handlar om. Ockupationen!
Mediakrig: Mediekonglomerat mot infoguerrilla
Israel fick vika sig denna gång för den massiva informationskampanj från tusentals bloggare, yuotubare, skribenter och demonstranter som trots den mediala blockaden lyckades föra fram sanningen och tvinga deras regeringar att agera. Detta är en triumf för det fria ordet och för de nya mediernas demokratiseringseffekt. Nu kommer dem att intensifiera deras försök att kontrollera Internet med olika lagar och deras säkerhetstjänster kommer att skanna det för att hitta de obekväma åsikterna. Det öppna nätet är ett stort hot mot deras monopol på ”sanningen”.
Ett annat misstag med den här slakten, som i medierna kallas Gazakriget, är att Israel har genom att bomba skolor där civila sökte skydd, sjukhus och otaliga civila bostäder och nu senast bomba Gaza stad med stridflyg och tungartilleri med otaliga civila offer öppnar dörren för alla slags vedergällningar mot sin egen befolkning. Det betyder att våldets spiral kommer att fortsätta och de barn som ser det kommer att bli framtidens krigare på båda sidor.
Om det hade varit vilken annan stat som helst som hade gjort sig skyldiga till detta skulle hela världssamfundet varit beredd att bomba förbrytaren. Varför ingenting händer i detta fall är ett klart tecken på hyckleriet i den officiella diskursen om terrorism, mänskliga rättigheter, ”skurkstater” och ”Ondskans Axel”. Allt detta blir en tom prat när man bombar en hel stad utan att någon höjer rösten. Inte de vanliga röster i alla fall som fördömde skarpt Ryssland, Serbien och andra när de utförde operationer i samma riktning. Den internationella lagstiftningen blev därmed också allvarig skadad.
Den internationella opinionen kan inte acceptera något annat än en totalt tillbakadragande från alla de ockuperade områdena i Palestina till 48 eller 67 års gränser, skapande av en sammanhängande palestinsk stat och skapande av säkra gränser för båda stater för att på en gång på alla sätta slut för den 60 åriga slakten. Israel och palestinierna måste pressas ekonomisk och politisk genom allmänhetens bojkott och klagomål. Regeringar i världen kommer inte att göra något åt saken. Det måste vara folket runt om i världen som bojkottar den starka parten, i detta fall Israel, att dra sig tillbaka till de erkända internationella gränserna och på så sätt möjliggöra en palestinsk stat som kan leva i fred med Israel inom erkända gränser. Innan Israel drar sig tillbaka kommer ingen fred att vara möjligt. Utan en palestinsk stat kommer alla möjliga desperata grupper och tendenser från ett förtryckt folk sedan 60 år till uttryck. Också åtgärder som ett folk i frihet, suveränitet och verklig demokrati inte skulle tillgripa.
Gaza kan inte fortsätta att vara belägrade av den sionistiska regeringen! Hamnarna, det territoriella vattnet utanför kusten och dess gasfyndigheter på bottenhavet måste vara i palestiniernas händer och så gränserna till alla frisinnade stater runt omkring så de kan föra in mat och allt vad de behöver för att leva som ett fritt folk.
Så småningom ska hela det palestinska området nå fullständigt självständighet. Det är den enda vägen till varaktig fred! Det finns ingen annan väg. Allt annat är bluff som inte leder någonstans! Vi måste komma ihåg att den nuvarande situationen har stort del av sitt ursprung i den långvariga belägringen av Gaza och mer grundläggande i den illegala ockupationen av Palestina sedan 60 år tillbaka.
Låt inte missledas av Hamas tjatet. Om det inte är dem kommer andra i deras ställe. Orsaken ligger i ockupationen så dess lösning! För den delen ska palestinierna själva välja sina ledare när de blir fria på riktigt och det måste omvärlden respektera. Det finns ingen demokrati utan verklig suveränitet och frihet!
En fri Palestina är den enda lösningen så vi slipper mer blod på båda sidor. Lämna alla ockuperade områdena, lämna alla bosättningar, kompensera de som har blivit bestulna på sina hus och mark, låt de som vill återvända till Palestina göra det! Kräv ömsesidig erkännande! Att Palestinierna erkänner Israel räcker inte. Israel måste erkänna Palestina som en fri stat också!
Kriget i Palestina inte över tills de stulna områdena återlämnas. Enda vägen till en varaktig fred är en totalt återlämnande av de ockuperade områdena i Palestina till FN- godkända gränser! Nu när världens folk har lyft sina blickar mot den här 60-årig lång konflikt är det tid att kräva att Israel drar sig tillbaka till de internationella erkända gränserna.

came through the sky to kill children

Nobody likes thieves
Nobody likes thieves. It is about time people started calling a spade a spade. True, Jews were incinerated in ovens in Nazi Germany (so they say six million of them, or however many) in 12 years. 26 million Soviet citizens died in 4 years. True, Hamas fired rockets at Jewish settlements set up on the former homes of Palestinians, taken away from them by Israelis. True, Israeli civilians were killed in the process. But how many innocent civilians has Israel massacred?
True, Hamas fired rockets at Jewish settlements set up on the former homes of Palestinians, taken away from them by Israelis. True, Israeli civilians were killed in the process. But how many innocent civilians has Israel massacred? And then it claims it is the eternal victim?
Nobody likes thieves. And why is it that every time one places an article which places in question the policy of Tel Aviv, that an army of cyber hackers appears, sending viruses to forums and news sites which “dare” to claim that Israel is not in the right? Is this freedom of speech? Is this freedom of expression?
Nobody likes thieves. It is about time there was an open and free and fair debate about the entire Middle East question and let us launch this debate, once and for all.
For a start, nobody is being anti-Semitic in bringing into question the policies defended by Tel Aviv, the more so because the word “Semitic” refers to the languages spoken in the Middle East region, including Arabic, and therefore any such accusation is as ludicrous as it is inaccurate, so let this be the end to the “anti-Semitic” accusation once and for all.
Nobody likes thieves. It is about time Israel ’s sheer hypocrisy and idiotic stupidity were outed, once and for all. How can this country claim any right and reason is on its side when it is flouting international law with every second that passes? The United Nations Organization set out a very clear definition as to what Israel is and the territory that Israel occupies today has nothing whatsoever to do with the area constituted by international law, therefore Israel is in violation of international law while it occupies territories that do not belong to it. Israel is a thief. Nobody likes thieves.
No occupation, no problem
No occupation, no problem. Why is it that Israel does not understand the simple precept that it has no right whatsoever to occupy lands which do not belong to it? Giving up the Gaza strip does not equate the building of colonies on the West Bank .
Nobody likes thieves. Until Israel moves back to the territories designated as “Israel” when the country was set up, carved out of Palestinian lands by an international community shocked by Nazi humanitarian crimes against this ethnic group, among many others (who mentions the Negro holocaust – slavery – for instance, in which tens of millions of Negroes were slaughtered?) how can it expect to claim the moral high ground? No occupation, no problem.
And regarding “atrocities”, so long as Israeli forces slaughter 250 children in two weeks, any claims that Israeli civilians are victims to Hamas rockets must surely fall on deaf ears. And what are the Palestinians supposed to do? Sit back, watch their lands be taken over, place their hands on their hearts and sing “Hallelujah”? No occupation, no problem. Nobody likes thieves.
War crimes
The UN High Commissioner on Human Rights declared on Friday that war crimes may have been committed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza . War crimes were already committed in Palestinian territories and in the Lebanon by Israeli forces, without the international community raising an eyelid. Yet these days, practically everyone outside Israel agrees that enough is enough. The sad thing is that Israel ’s policies give rise to those who claim that Hitler was right and to who question why the Jews have been thrown out of everywhere, practically, during the last five thousand years of history.
Of course war crimes were committed by Israelis in Gaza . Bombing a UN school for a start is called what? Self-defence? And 250 children in ten days? Is this what Tel Aviv calls an Act of God? Or Yahweh?
The way forward
Israel exists, period. But Israel means the original boundaries drawn up by the UNO. Until Israel respects the norms of international law, it cannot claim full rights as a member of the international community. Firstly, Israel must leave the lands it occupies illegally. Nobody likes thieves. No occupation, no problem.
Secondly, the international community has to decide upon the status of Jerusalem. It does not belong to Jews, or Arabs. It belongs to everyone. Therefore why not constitute an international city there, set up the UNHQ in Jerusalem and make it an international forum for debate?
As we see, the solution is perfectly simple. Until then, there will be problems. Nobody likes thieves. No occupation, no problem.

Jewish Telegraphic Agency January 16, 2009 LONDON (JTA) – A Jewish member of Britain’s parliament accused Israel of exploiting Holocaust guilt to justify its actions in the Gaza Strip.
“The current Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt among gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians,” Sir Gerald Kaufman, a veteran MP of the governing Labour Party and a long-time critic of Israel, said Thursday in parliament.
Referring to his personal background, as the son of Jewish refugees from Poland, he said: “My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza.”
Kaufman compared the Hamas militants in Gaza to Jewish resistance fighters during the Second World War, saying: “The spokeswoman for the Israeli army, Major Leibovich, was asked about the Israeli killing of, at that time, 800 Palestinians. The total is now 1,000. She replied instantly that ’500 of them were militants’. That was the reply of a Nazi. I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants.”
Israel launched major operations in Gaza on Dec. 27 after Hamas ended a fragile cease-fire with a massive intensification of rocket attacks into southern Israel.

VIDEO; What You Need To Know About Israel’s “Colonies”
Anna Baltzer, a young Jewish American, went to the West Bank to discover the realities of daily life for Palestinians under the occupation. What she found would change her outlook on the conflict forever. She wrote this book to give voice to the stories of the people who welcomed her with open arms as their lives crumbled around them. For five months, Baltzer lived and worked with farmers, Palestinian and Israeli activists, and the families of political prisoners, traveling with them across endless checkpoints and roadblocks to reach hospitals, universities, and olive groves.
Baltzer witnessed firsthand the environmental devastation brought on by expanding settlements and outposts and the destruction wrought by Israels Security Fence, which separates many families from each other, their communities, their land, and basic human services. What emerges from Baltzers journal is not a sensationalist tale of suicide bombers and conspiracies, but a compelling and inspiring description of the trials of daily life under the occupation. Anna Baltzer is a Jewish American graduate of Columbia University, Fulbright scholar, and two-time volunteer with the International Womens Peace Service in the West Bank, where she documented human rights abuses and supported the nonviolent resistance movement to the occupation.

Time to Bomb Israel…
As NATO and the US did with Serbia when they made an Ethnic Cleaning of Albanians!
Or send War Ship to the coast of Israel as The West did with Russia when they attack Georgia for similar reasons as Israel attack Gaza , but of course by a much modest magnitude.
By the way with this Massacre and Ethnic Cleaning of Palestinians there is Not More such a thing as international rule of law.
The World Order lead by the US and the rule of International Law fall apart
The Attack by Israeli forces to the populated Gaza strip and the silence of the world means the end of the structures and institutions created after the Second World War. If a new order emerge of the chaos in the international relations when the old rules are been used discretionary by the world powers and the United States lose definitely its position is still not clear.

With the Gaza “cease fire” in place for one week (after Israeli forces murdered at least 450 Children), the Beit Sahour vigil that was held daily for the past 22 days will be transformed to increased action. Tomorrow (Monday) at 10 AM local, Palestinian Civil Society Organizations in the Bethlehem area will hold a second work day for Gaza where we will be emailing, writing media and politicians, sharing ideas and developing strategies to develop the Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel as well as bringing Israeli leaders to justice for war crimes and crimes against humanity.Those of you who can join us it will be at AlGhad institute in Downtown Beit Sahour near the bus company offices.
We believe this is not the time to relax but to intensify the pressure that is building especially introducing new BDS actions so that we can once and for all end the 61 year injustice against the native Palestinians (Israel must be made to comply with all Palestinian Rights especially the rights of refugees to return to their homes and lands). We also believe the International community should not be paying for Israel’s war crimes and must hold Israel accountable.
Please begin to or expand your work in your community for BDS (see http://www.bdsmovement.net and http://www.pacbi.org) and develop legal, media, and out reach strategies to build up the isolation of Israel like we did with South Africa so that such atrocities that have been ongoing for 61 year are ended and we move to a post-Apartheid era of Peace with Justice. For resources and tools, we are listing below links to: pictures and video, facts on Gaza, Declarations by the UN and human rights groups, political analysis, and the link to 25 actions to do.
