The baroness and the illegal immigrant 2:32pm on 22 Sep 2009 1) That Baroness Scotland does not have the moral rectitude to understand that she should resign, at least offer resignation, is most informative. It demonstrates very clearly in this Government something far beyond sleaze.

2) She appears to have been paying the National Insurance for the woman who does not have permission to work in the UK. The National Insurance and Pensions Department appear to have been collecting it. Simply how can this occur without the NI informing Baroness Scotyland and the Borders Agency is beyond any excuse. There needs to be an enquiry.
Is this Labour's idea of joined up Government?

The point is that life changes and much as Saddam was a US darling in the 1980s much as Israel had become over the last several decades that was founded on Israel's manipulation of the media less easy today and the huge amounts of money and effort that pro-Israel communities in the USA put into supporting elections of politicians, particularly the President.

Whether it will be the attitude of Israel to Obama's demand on cessation of settlement building or some other arrogant stance, Israel like a Madoff will suddenly be persona non grata.

That seems to be occuring and much as Chris Meyer's comment reflect his time in Washington that was several years ago. Things change.
Remembering three Palestinian victims 12:57pm on 29 Jun 2009 The International Red Cross has now published its report on the conditions in Gaza.

It is a terrible indictment of the continual genocidal intent of the occuping power and to a different and lesser extent the media for continually misrepresenting the position of the dispossessed Palestinians whether in Gaza or West Bank in reports favouring the aggressor.

The gratuitous violence of a tank pounding the Doctor's home and killing his daughters gives lie to the so called surgical precision so talked about. The deliberate destruction of much infrastructure, particularly the water/sewage systems rather than arresting (or extra-judicially killing) those in the occupied zone is so obviously so gratuitous, that questions should continually be asked about the lack of presentation of these crimes against humanity in Western Media.
Mideast baby steps 8:29pm on 27 Jun 2009 "How revealing that you do not take the opportunity to condemn the words of Imam Ziad Abu Alhaj." Scotch-git

I tend not to waste time on the obvious nor at puerile nit-picking.

"Scotch-git" needs to better understand the meaning of genocidal.
UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide Art. 2.
Genocidal acts need not kill or cause the death.

No doubt the Arab States to which you refer had wrongly assumed that the 'Great & Good' in the world - USA etc preaching democracy etc would back up their UN Charter & Conventions. Sadly in the case of the USA etc they have been wrong.
Mideast baby steps 8:17pm on 27 Jun 2009 "When you fight four genocidal wars and then two terrorist wars to wipe Israel off the map,..." MAII

Tehehe:-
MAII showing ignorance of history again...which edition of the Israeli Government propaganda booklet do you work from ????

The only initiating genocidal activity has been zionist/israeli as promulgated in the various writing from prominant zionists in the 1930s and certainly detailed by Ben Gurion etc in the israeli Government's determination to drive all Palestinians out of areas occupied by the zionist terror gangs and then israeli military.
The Palestinians have been defending their lives and their property reacting to zionist terror. Defence is hardly compatible with your frankly disturbing revisionist rubbish about genocidal war.

Israel is conducting a genocidal war to drive out all Palestinians and it is hidden just wafer thin in MAII's posts.

MAII should re-read what they have written as it states loudly that the rights of Jews or certainly israelis are greater than those of the Palestinians. Only a bigot can accept that.

The zionists campaigned for Jews living in Arab/Moslem countries to go to israel the 'empty land' after it had been relatively ethnically cleansed by zionists of Palestinians and even of late to get those in Iran to leave. They also tried to attract Jews from Europe and America to emigrate.

The oppression continues today and may be viewed on YouTube and is a part of a genocidal process (check the UN website for genocide).

Netanyahu is one of a line of israeli politicians who hardly hides his ethnic cleansing intent and Sharon was part of the active genocidal programs against Palestinians certainly when he was in Unit 101 and thought responsible for the Qibya massacre all before Shatila & Sabra.

Of course if MAII supports genocidal action that well defines their position.
Mideast baby steps 2:02pm on 27 Jun 2009 "It seems to me that ultimately with both people and nations they get pretty much what they deserve." MAII #45

In this comment MAII seems to be stating that the "indigenous people" of Palestine 'got what they deserve' Zionists.

The attitude is very revealing it suggests that 'Might is Right' and what the powerful want they should get because they deserve it regardless. It is the attitude very obviously prevalent in Zionist circles in their writing in 1920s & 1930s.

It also might touch a nerve as inherently he blames individuals and communities for their own misfortune which in the context of 1930s & 1940s Germany some might distance themselves from MAII.

MAII also agrees with the murderer who states the victim has only themselves to blame for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, not the murder's fault. Indeed in MAII's world it is solely the Palestinians fault that they are there to be oppressed, abused and killed by Israelis- so don't blame the murders.

Humm

"The nicest description of Hamas is that it is honest............. An honest genocidal psychopath is still a genocidal psychopath."

The latter phrase maybe a Palestinian view of one & all Zionists, and then they have over 61 years of proof.

Added to duplicitous & disingenuous and it is little wonder that Netanyahu and 'the Israelis' are let's say distrusted.

Now the USA will have to face the fact that they have a friend who isn't a friend and as MAII told us above, if Israel is gong 'down' it has enough nuclear munitions to take out Europe too in a nuclear holocaust [& MAII isn't alone in that type of threat], if you have an open mind it makes you wonder who the "genocidal psychopaths" really are ?
Mideast baby steps 9:31pm on 25 Jun 2009 MA11 seems to be espousing an anarchists view of how we should behave.
When dismissing an agreement of " fifty or a hundred years ago" as " has nothing to do with today" it is possible to see agreements of '50 or 100 days ago' or even in our 24/7 world of '50 or 100 minutes ago' if the agreement suddenly didn't suit.
That is the reality of Israel and its Zionist supporters that of agreeing as in Oslo 1 and then failing to adher.

Indeed in 2008 an agreement with Hamas that they stop rockets being fired into Israeli colonised territory and the supplies to Gaza be returned to normal. Israel failed to adher to the agreement and then killed deliberately, it seems, 6 Palestinians on a pretext on 5 Nov 08 to goad a response to launch its 'Operation Lead' amid its protestations that "leetle poor Iswael" was being attacked by 'big bad Hamas'.

The nicest description of Israel is that it is duplicitous and disingenuous and that well covers its stance on Settlements, a Palestinian State as well as Peace with the Palestinians.

Should the USA stop paying Israel and guaranteeing its debt Israel will have to think carefully.
Remembering three Palestinian victims 5:06pm on 25 Jun 2009 The link to the indicated website seems at best slow.
The story was very moving and one has to admire the doctor as having lost three children I would admit to being less forgiving.

The best way for a resolution of the I/P problem is mass civil disobedience in both Israel & the Occupied Territories to continue until Israel dismantles cedes control completely of the WB & Gaza and demolishes Checkpoints, Wall, etc etc and for the repatriation of all ROR refugees and reinstatement in their stolen properties and compensation.
Mideast baby steps 4:02pm on 25 Jun 2009 Posts 39 & 40.

Looks as if large chunks of Wikipedia (?? or similar )have been lifted and placed hardly in context by someone well out of their depth in these matters.

1) The UK wished to end the Mandate because it couldn't afford any conflict it was accepted by the UN.
2) Zionists were being armed from Czech sources and were considerably better armed than either Palestinians or the so-called 'Arab Armies'. Jordanian troops stopped at the UN Partition lines, there to protect Palestinians not attack Israel etc etc ....

Oranges were grown in Palestine well before Zionism ever appeared but according to usual Israeli propaganda only Israel 'made the desert flower'. etc etc

The Hussein-McMahon 1915-16 agreement gave the whole of the area arguably to the Caliphate.
Balfour's letter 1917 upon which much is predicated mapped out solely a Jewish homeland within an 'Arab' Palestine- not the Transjordan area- and not to injure the civil rights of the indigenous people.

In Israel's case its supporters tell a lie and then when it has been retold sufficiently it becomes the truth- relying on the laziness of others not to confront - this is propaganda.
