Accusing this Blog as Anti-Semitic

Dear readers,
I was just contacted by one of the Gaza Freedom Movement Organizers who told me that my name as an endorser is being negotiated to be removed off the list.
Why..? Supposedly, this photo, above, once posted on my blog, was considered as "anti-semitic."
Let me tell the Zionist hoodlooms one thing: this torch might be a religious sign, it is non of my concern here, & I do not use it in that context to attack a religion. This sign, unfortunately, was used by Zionists promoting their cause and thus has been transformed into a Zionist symbol that which expresses anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian attitudes.
So, all that I write is anti-semitic? Let's see... if I say that I am against an Muslim state, does that mean I become an Islamophobic person? Or, if I am against a Christain state- does that mean I am anti-Christian?
But, wait a minute, if I attack the fact that Israel is a Jewish state... I become anti-Semitic. Great, I understand this illogical logic now.
This is a weapon the Zionists hoodlooms use to attack all those of good conscience, anti-racist, co-existence believers.
Also, hoodlooms, how can I be an anti-semite? Can I be anti-myself? I am a semite after all as I come from the Arab world!
This use of politics of fear and intimidation does not work with me.

Also, as to my views on the Gaza Freedom March statement of context, I stand firmly on my position to endorse the GFM statement after it was altered, as I believe it to have taken into account the least of Palestinian basic rights.
I did not attack Professor Finkelstein personally, I did attack him ideologically. Meaning that, I, like many many others, did not agree with his Ghandian approach to the Palestinian conflict & to his not taking into account Palestinian civil resistance, Palestinians' inalienable right to return, and the BDS call. Otherwise, I am an avid reader of his work, research and respect him as a scholar. I am appreciative of his dedication to the Palestine question, yet, I am even more appreciative, respectful, and admiring of those children who gave their blood to Palestine and I, then, cannot and will not accept anything that does not take into account their surviving relatives and families' basic rights, or anything that does not appreciate their sacrifices.
As for the post, "GFM is now Zionist Free", and, thus, I am an endorser, well, yes that is true. When you flirt with Zionism, what does that make of you?

Yours,

Natalie

"The Thirteenth Tribe": Jews are not Israelites

Absolute Historical Proof : Jews are not Israelites:

"The Thirteenth Tribe", a book by Arthur Koestler

I came across this book a few days ago which drew my attention. It is very rare to find such well-documented historical proof of one of the world's most false claims.

The well known Jewish author, Arthur Koestler and his wife were "suicided" years back after Koestler published a book called the "The Thirteenth Tribe".

In the book he explores the origins of the Ashkenazim Jews. He noted that the vast majority of todays Jews are descended from the Kahzars of central Asia who converted to Judaism in 700ad.

They have absolutely no connection to the Holy Land of Palestine and never had. That is the majority of todays Jews. No historical or DNA connection to the original Hebrews of the time of Christ and before. They are not Semitic. A tiny number of Hebrews/Real Jews stayed on in Palestine living in harmony with the Muslims and Christians for centuries.

Only when the European Zionists made their false claim on Palestine did the troubles begin.

As seen in the map above (which can be accessed here: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_sociopol/khazar03_02.jpg ) the movement of the Khazarian Jews is shown. It has no relationship with Palestine whatsoever.

Israel Bombs South of Lebanon

So, after the Israeli terrorist forces finish bombing Gaza, they get to the south of Lebanon. But, don't get me wrong now; they sometimes bomb both simultaenously.

Earlier today, there was Israeli terrorist military activity in the areas of Norther occupied Palestine very close to the borders of the South of Lebanon, both land and air, a local from Hasbayya, a village in the South of Lebanon, said. There was such military activity in the Lebanese village, Shebaa as well, as usual.

According to UNIFIL reports, at 15:45 today, two katyushas were bombed north of Nehareya from the Qulaylah valley in Tyre, with the terrorist forces bombing back 15 times with heavy loaded tank bombs continuously to the area where the katyushas were launched.

Ambulance sirens were heard in the area of the bombing, but there was no news of injuries. The streets became empty, with only the UNIFIL forces spreading through the area.

When I was in Lebanon, there was not a single person I met who did not tell me they think war was on the horizon. My answer was, it already is, has been, & will continue.

Gaza Freedom March is now Zionist free

After much pressure on the Gaza Freedom March organizing committee,
they altered their statement to acknowledge BDS, israeli military occupation
& palestinian civil resistance not apparent in their previous statement. A note: the organizing committee in addition to barghouti & eid are receiving many aggressive emails from zionists due to this 6 out of 14 members of the organizing committee voted against the change of statment of context that did NOT previously include the most basic of rights of the Palestinians one of them was norman finkelstein, who resigned from the organizing committee




Message from Barghouti & Eid



"Dear all,

We were just informed that the organizing committee of the Gaza Freedom March has finally adopted the statement of context that takes into consideration the key constructive suggestions expressed by both of us ( Omar Barghouti and Haidar Eid) weeks ago. We and the organizers of the March have reached an agreement whereby the Call will be posted with a clear reference to the statement of context, which clearly acknowledges that Palestinians have for over six decades been denied their basic rights that they are entitled to under international law, including the right of return, and the fact that Palestinian civil society has adopted Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) as one of its main civil resistance strategies against Israel’s occupation and other injustices.

Accordingly, we fully endorse the Gaza Freedom March call to action and statement of context, and we call on all supporters of international law, just peace and Palestinian rights to endorse them as well and to do whatever is possible to make this March a success.

A lot of work still needs to be done, clearly, to iron out organizational and logistical details, particularly to minimize the risks to the Palestinians in Gaza who will participate in this form of civil resistance; but these challenges can best be met by a wide coalition of enthusiastic, principled and well organized networks across the world, all coming together to make this happen. It can also happen if we all manage to convince world renowned figures to lead the March, as initially planned.

Omar Barghouti (Jerusalem)
Haidar Eid (Gaza) "


Now, I have become an endorser

Please send the organizers messages of support so to outweigh the threats from Zionists that they are receiving

Child Killed Eastern Beit Hanoun from Yesterday's Attacks

From Yesterday's Israeli terrorist forces' attacks, a child was killed.

This is from the Beit Hanoun Local Initiative team:

"The child Ghazi Maher Zaaneen, 13, died yesterday due to his critical condition

after the Israeli shootings and bombings yesterday eastern Beit Hanoun"

Zionist Democracy & Israeli Soldiers Morality

IOF Attack Civilians during Iftar Meal

At 7 o'clock today, a large group of Israeli soldiers entered Beit Hanoun, only 500 metres away from civilian farmlands. At around Iftar time, the soldiers shot at civilian houses and farmlands which resulted in the injury of three civilians, one of which is a child whom is in a moderate condition at the Beit Hanoun Hospital.

Moments after the firing stopped, tanks forcefully entered the Amal neighborhood and inner farmland areas within Beit Hanoun during the Iftar meal during which the Israelis started bombing at civilian homes.

Local activists in Beit Hanoun fear this is but a preliminary onto something more serious, dangerous, and deadly... a preliminary onto a coming military operation within the Strip.

"Dirty Arabs"

From the Diaries of an Arab Girl under Occupation

Occupied Palestine- Amani Khatter

It's been a while, my friend, that I have been wanting to ask you these few questions stuck at the tip of my tongue. Yet, I never found an oppurtunity to, till now.

I have wanted to ask you if you still remember your Jewsih friend who once inquired: Why do you study the 'Tanakh' [the Torah] when you

attend Arabic schools?"

Do you remember what you answered her at the time? You told her then that the "Tanakh was very important."

Did you blush at the moment when everyone was staring at you, or did you blush because you weren't convinced of the answer you gave?

Do you remember that time at university when the lecturer asked each one of us to write three words that we thought express our identity?

Do you recall the manner of which you acted then? You lowered your gaze to the ground, as if he would not notice you , and then you would not have to answer his questions.

Did you avoid answering because three words are just not enough... or, because three words are just too much to express an identity you do not possess? I think that it was not easy for you to admit that you are

without identity.

Alright. Do you recall the day the judge from the Supreme Court

visited university to speak about equality between man & woman... the Jewish man and the Jewish woman, and everyone was allowed to ask

her questions? Do you remember the excitement of your Jewish friends

as they stood for the first time near a judge of her ranking, and not because they were allowed to ask her questions?

I remember very well how you tried tirelessly to be as excited as they were. I asked you then: "When will we have a lecture addressing

equality between Arabs and Jews?" Do you remember how you just stood their silent; you didn't ask the judge, but kept the question

to yourself? Was it because you acknowledged the risk of this question

being asked in a "democratic country," or was it that you knew the answer, but chose not to hear it?

Shall I publish your photograph, now when you have reached 20?

Do you remember when you were in the bus, and that Israeli soldier tried, with all his unsuccessful trials, to converse with you? Do you recall when, after an hour, a Palestinian came on board- who wished he didn't after all eyes turned to stare scornfully, mixed with fear?

Do you remember how the soldier siezed the moment to speak to you, flaunting his masculinity and chauvinism in front of you, saying:

"Izi Arabeem mlukhlkheem," meaning: Dirty Arabs?

The soldier spoke to you in Hebrew, not knowing you were an Arab. Your laughed back then, but you had unmasked him; you knew that he

was actually an Arab from his broken Hebrew accent.

Alright my little actress, shall I expose you and tell what you did when

you went to rent a room at the university?

At that moment, the Jewish house owner asked you to introduce yourself. You answered saying:" I am Druze."

Yes. Your were born as such, with an ID having "Durzeet" written on it. Druze with a dot before it. A dot that is supposed to be after the ending of a sentence, to seperate it from what was before it. A dot that erases your entire history, heritage, and identity... they didn't even mention anything after it.

Do you remember what you answered the house owner when she asked whether the Druze were Arabs?

She does not rent to Arabs, and she hadn't heard of Druze before.

Do you remember the silence that came over you?

At the time, you liked the room... at the time, it hurt to have lied.

Haniyyeh Kicking

"Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh inaugurates Gaza stadiumPublished Sunday 09/08/2009 18:00video here, Hamas leader, de facto Prime Minister and sports nut Ismail Haniyeh takes on other footballers in Gaza. The match was a re-opening ceremony fro Gaza City's football stadium, which was demolished during Israel's assault last winter.Haniyeh said the stadium's reopening would serve as a message to Israel that its siege of the Gaza Strip had failed. He said not only would Palestinians rebuild destroyed stadiums in Gaza, they would soon build them in Jerusalem, as well."

Maan News continues:

"Maan's correspondent reported back that Haniyeh managed to score one goal, while Israeli newspapers insisted that the Hamas leader came close once, but that it was blocked."

There are 1.5 million besieged, & Maan News is concerned with fighting Israel over Haniyyeh's scoring.
