What Kind Of Paint Can You Use In A Microwave

Angry Ships of Fools



One can not help, as the organizers and participants of the international "Free Gaza solidarity fleet" Congratulations to: You have achieved what they wanted to achieve. For their action, which was declared with much pathos as humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, was planned in advance propaganda coup for Hamas. Their leader Ismail Haniya had rejoiced a few days ago: . "Reach When the ships Gaza, which is a victory - and when they are terrorized by the Zionists, which is also a victory" Now, a special unit of Israeli forces the comprehensive fleet of six vessels applied; are various types of information to 10:00 to 19:00 "peace activists" have come to death and injured several dozen been. Even among the Israeli soldiers there were a number of injured.

The tenor in the German media is clear - and in the spirit of the holy warriors, "Bloody attack by Israel on Gaza flotilla" ( Spiegel Online ) "Israel shock the Middle East" ( Süddeutsche Zeitung ) , "attack on Israel's solo trip to Gaza" (taz ), "Israel without measure" (FAZ ) - to name but a few of countless examples. The federal government sees the "proportionality" to justify to assess "Without in detail what happened during the occupation, it is never, by anything and: hurt, demands an international investigation and an" end to the blockade, " was during the left-faction leader Gregor Gysi Thus criminal side that the fire will be opened and peaceful people are killed or injured. "Several states, including Greece, Spain, Egypt and Turkey, appointed Israeli ambassador to the respective one. Who is to blame for the bloody escalation is not just in this country that is not even discussed. But as always when the waves of outrage beat up the Jewish state, it is worth a closer look.

First of all, can not be said that the Israeli special forces had attacked the fleet, but rather it was the other way around: There were several accept calls from the Israeli navy to them, the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, to change course and the port to drive the Israeli city of Ashdod. The anti-Israel activists, however, refused to make this order consequence. Israeli soldiers then boarded the ship on Monday morning, five of them, the crew apparently provided no resistance. It was different on the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara : were there attacked the soldiers at once massive, including with truncheons, metal pipes and knives. Several video recordings [especially 1] [2] [3] these attacks clearly show. According to an army spokesman put an Israeli special forces first non-lethal device, get the ship under control, but without success. After they finally two handguns had been stolen, they had used live ammunition (back). Because the crew had intended to lynch the soldiers normal.

"Peaceful people" Gysi as the "Free Gaza" sailors called, undoubtedly behave differently. But it was already long before the morning's clear that it is the supposed human rights activists were indeed militant Israel hater is, where the welfare of the Palestinians does not matter if they can exploit not a campaign against the Jewish state . Greta Berlin, one of the organizers of the "solidarity fleet", gave a few days ago also frankly admits: "This mission is not about to deliver humanitarian goods, it's about to break Israel's blockade - a blockade that known, was built to prevent renewed arms shipments to Hamas. Therefore suggested Berlin and delete their supporters in recent days and each End the Israeli government from the shipments at the port of Ashdod and - bring on the (common) land in the Gaza Strip - after a check for weapons and other illegal goods to leave.

But not only this proposal for a friendly solution of the "friends of peace" rejected, but also - and this makes the drive boaters particularly evident - the desire of the family four years ago by Hamas kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit: had the Shalit offered to make the Israeli government to ensure strong that the boat parade in the port can create from Gaza - where the members of the fleet in exchange for Hamas to ensure that Gilad Shalit a package of food and letters must be passed. The "Free Gaza" activists refused, what the lawyer of the family, Nick Kaufmann, said in clear words: "I thought the movement support the human rights," he said, and instead applies its support "only a terrorist group, the self- not interested in human rights. " add

At least not for human rights, the Islamic understanding of contrary, would . For the sailing under the Turkish flag Mavi Marmara - attacks on the Israeli special forces were - was largely from the radical Islamic organization Turkish IHH organized and funded. Its chairman Bulent Yildirim held a few days in Istanbul at the dedication ceremony for the ship - also attended by two of Britain from operating Topterroristen Hamas Mahmad Tzoalha and Sahar Albirawi and Hamam Said, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan took part - a speech in which he said include: "Israel behaves, as Hitler's conduct toward the Jews. Hitler built concentration camps in Germany, and today is building concentration camps, the Zionist entity in Palestine. "

was also present at the ceremony, Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the" Northern Division "of the Islamic Movement in Israel . Salah not only has good contacts with Hamas, but in the past also has several anti-Semitic hate sermons. In it he stated, among other things, the Jews are the "Butcher of pregnant women and babies," "thieves" and the bacteria of all time ", he also served old blood libel". We are not the ones who eat a meal of bread and cheese in children's blood, "The victory was" with the Muslims, from the Nile to the Euphrates ". Salah was then one of the passengers of Mavi Marmara - for their departure from Istanbul anti-Semitic songs were sung - and to have been injured in today's struggles .

about the benefits of driving under the Turkish flag vessels has already been a few days ago on the website of the Palestine Chronicle spoken openly respectively written: Turkey is a NATO member, an attack on Israel Mavi Marmara therefore could provoke the alliance case, increase in any case, the outrage of the world public. And indeed, the NATO ambassadors meet on Tuesday to deliberate. Since it seems almost ironic, that even three leaders of the nato critical Left Party on board the Mavi Marmara were, namely, the two MPs Inge Hoeger and Annette Groth and former parliamentarians Norman Paech. Other German participants in the "Solidarity fleet were Matthias Jochheim of the International Physicians for the Prevention of nuclear war (IPPNW) and one representative of Pax Christi and the German-Palestinian Society .

In particular, the participation of the above politicians in the business "Free Gaza" weighs heavy. For here have operated de facto German parliamentarians as combatants of Hamas and take part in an attack against Israel by an Islamist-controlled, armed ship. They have at least tolerated, that Israelis in the Lynch trial - and acted to provide such it is quite obvious - come to harm. And they have at least tolerated, that there are dead people in this attack - because the attacker can not possibly have expected that their massive, not partially Firearms executed attacks on Israeli elite soldiers, backed by hundreds of colleagues in escort vessels, without going victims in their own ranks CARRIED (so that the probability that this high profile 'martyrs' should be produced very low). To the opinions of Hoeger, Groth Paech and we may therefore be particularly excited - they will express publicly in the end perhaps, the crew had to "defend themselves" - in "self defense", against Jews?

In Israeli media, meanwhile intensively discussed, whether - and possibly why - is the use of the armed forces out of control and to what extent the damage could be limited, perhaps was the special unit actually surprised by the relentless violence of the "peace activists" aboard the Mavi Marmara . Notwithstanding this debate, it is difficult compared to the killed and injured participants of the "peace flotilla" applied empathy. Because their motivation - which is in the other firing the anti-Semitic (propaganda) war against Israel by all means and not in the readiness to help supposedly or really bad Palestinians - is all too obvious. And that's what should be the focus of attention and criticism are. Who wants to really help the Palestinians packelt, not with the Jews in the Gaza Strip ruling gang of murderers and provokes no military use - but added the slogan "Free Gaza" a "from Hamas."

The practice of "criticism of Israel"



Some notes on the arson attack on the synagogue of Worms, two weeks ago.


OF MATHEUS HAGEDORNY

about the same time, when Germany began to grieve for Michael Ballack's ankle, Unknown tried in Worms, a synagogue burned down. Although the perpetrators were nine fires sparked simultaneously nothing to chance, could avert the local fire department by their timely use of the destruction. "As soon as you are not the rest are Palestinians, we will give you no peace," it said in German bumpy order to justify the attack on some notes, which were designed near the crime scene. The official reaction to the attack were from politically correct. The Rhineland-Palatinate Premier Kurt Beck said about the manner of a "despicable act" and had 10,000 euros bounty , launch, and finally the offender had committed a "transgression". Police are investigating. And the public lost interest in the incident before it actually came.

hatred of Jews earlier

Even the First Crusade in 1096, when the Germans were called to the conquest of Jerusalem, they fulfilled their Christian duty by a Heimatliches pogrom, which also drew the Worms synagogue affected. Fifty years and a crusade repeated later, the arson. Until the legal equality of the Jews, which was completed in 1792 by the annexation of Worms' to the French Republic, saw the Jewish Community in the city two other excesses of the anti-Jewish mobs.

your reason to hope that the civil traffic conditions ultimately lead to the elimination of anti-Semitism, or at least the madness would privatize smashed in National Socialism. During the November pogrom of 1938 burned the synagogue, and the "King City" was to 1942 "Jews." After the unconditional surrender of Germany built the Worms survivors of the Shoah a prayer place again. When it was re-opened in 1961, the militant anti-Semitism less than two years earlier "call German: Jews out" with the slogan at the Cologne synagogue reported (Source: Tribune, 1 / 2010, p. 13ff.).

anti-Semitism today

Who in the Federal Republic now wants the Jews to eradicate from the German national body to the neck, is usually outside the permitted by the police. The Worms detectives want to stop not yet interprate too much anti-Semitism, because "whether and to what extent actual Palestinian interests involved, it can be said not currently. Probably it is an unfortunate formulation of an innocent police officer, in the press release is not recognized, at least; that anti-Jewish actions are something that not only the neo-Nazis, but also the Palästinensertum is in place.

Minister President Beck the other hand, knows that if he knows nothing else, what a German is of historical responsibility. He made no bones about it, frankly outraged about the crime and know that arson is against Jewish places of worship a "transgression". But where a boundary is passable, there is also tolerance. Beck, who knows even before Obama the bugbear of the "moderate Taliban" constructed, that it is very annoying for many, the clean boundary between the visible blurring "criticism of Israel" and the murderous anti-Semitism. Of his words, that the risk of fire Palestine Solidarity has broken a barrier, as well as the hazardous location embarrassment that beat the practice of "criticism of Israel" over the traces and can bring Jews in Germany in critical condition.

In contrast to the poor Ballack and the future of the German World Cup team, it brought the fire to Worms only to a marginal note in the media. It was the President of the Central Council of Jews, Charlotte Knobloch reserved to criticize the failure to be an arson scandal in the "Nibelungen town."
think
The "Jew among the states"

As German and German to know, are two different things, it is difficult to say whether the perpetrators of the Islamic, the neo-Nazi or even come from a relevant environment. In this country, and contemporary popular everywhere in any case, the view expressed in bad language motivation. Because the State of Israel allowed the Jews to have to be understood not only as a helpless object of history, the global anti-Semitism is now fixed on the screen called "Palestinians" and the precise blood guzzling "child murderer Israel": the "Jews among the states "(Leon Poliakov).

Had the Nazis used to have proclaimed, the "rootless" Jews will never be able to produce their own state, hate the present-day German ideologues - whether her lament now Islamic, nationalist and human rights comes along - the Jewish state for its embattled existence . The "criticism of Israel" crowd must show that the history of the Holocaust and the Middle East conflict are inseparable. That the Arab Palestine in 1948 by the Islamic murderers and SS-group leader retired, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini proclaimed, is to experience all around, it will only appear do not know.

The respectable anti-Semitism called "criticism of Israel" is like the outlawed a sealed against any contradictory experience delusional system for the dead Jews but has much compassion left free, the living Jews and defensible but mistrusts. The Shoah is practically no more separate from the (holy) war against Israel as the modern anti-Semitism from anti-Zionism. Was it before the destruction of the Mosaic world rooted conspiracy against the peoples of the earth, has now one of the Israel lobby and their henchmen on life support, has become a Jewish state be wiped crimes against international law and human rights from the ground. With two popular hallucinations are then very real Jews brought to their lives.

The limits of German law

upset in this climate that the recent attack outside the affected Jews hardly anyone. Although the 82 000-strong town on the Jewish prayer house was soon a hundred-strong vigil, there is no reason for sedation. The violence against the Palestinians friendly Worms synagogue is obviously not suitable, as opposed to smaller events, kicking off a nationwide wave of anti-fascist protest. For experienced people are missing right front against swastikas, Nazi pigs caught or similar tangible. What remains just curious, eloquent silence.
would
In Germany - in the absence of a non-Jewish, anti-Zionism and critical public for Israel - if all the rule of law that could curb the rage against Jews effectively. But that barrier is crumbling rapidly. As Israel's war against Hamas in January 2009 on the occasion of the greatest anti-Semitic manifestations in Europe since 1945, the Duisburg police bowed to a "israel critical" rally in front of the radical Muslim mob by broke into a private dwelling, a most window attached to remove Israeli flag. As a Palestinian A few days later security guards of the Berlin synagogue attacked with an iron bar, was the assessment of the Berlin police, have this "apparently his displeasure over the Israeli actions in Gaza to express" want. And in February this year, the Cologne public prosecutor to certify the anti-Israeli "Cologne Wailing Wall" that a Palestinian child-eating Jew - sorry Israeli - no anti-Semitic caricature, but because of the lack of hook nose is a legitimate criticism of Israel.

You can currently only speculate whether the perpetrators of Worms from the recently founded NPD local club are the anti-Semitic hate campaign of the local Millî-Görüş or Ahmadiyya community has borne fruit, or perhaps some readers Zionist leaves the world awaited court against the "Jew among the states" could not wait. It is clear that the "critical of Israel" witch hunt well in various environments other soil and makes the Jews in Germany long ago is no peace.

The signs are obvious that criticism of Israel has become the accepted currency in order to restore the anti-Semitism in the Federal Republic of moral and then unloaded to strike at everything Jewish. And the public largely ignored the stop signal of Worms, the militant critics of Israel "everywhere, whether red, green or brown, that it can go on with it.

A spa evening with Dr. Tibi



The deputy speaker of the Knesset, an Arab Israeli, is currently touring Europe - and it explains to his audience in all seriousness that Israel is no democracy. Jürgen Petzoldt has the appearance of the former Arafat advisor viewed in Kassel and
Liza World depressed drawn a conclusion.

OF JÜRGEN PETZOLDT

In Café an oasis to Kassel you can read books, drink mint tea and Bionade, meet like-minded people. Unions, Christians and others hold meetings there from, there is also a cultural program, poetry slams and a flute prayer. Wolfgang Gehrke of the Left Party has lectured in this store about a socialist foreign policy, and last Sunday was a Chaver haKnesset a guest: Dr. Ahmed Tibi (photo), deputy of the Arab nationalist Ta'al party and deputy speaker of the Israeli Parliament, spoke on "Israel - a democracy?". He is on a European tour, he has been, as he says himself, invited to speak on the "Nakba". One might think that the question of whether Israel is a democracy, then no later than done, when we find out that Yasser Arafat had earlier Tibi consultant. Can it be - an Arafat adviser sits in the Knesset and is her second speaker? It can be.

I almost never visit such events, it is useless, then the dominant mode of thought is known to me, so what? But the doctor I wanted to but then do not miss. She has at times also a little embarrassing, this pro-and contra-Israel Diskutiererei. A solid anti-Israel mainstream by about 95 percent of the population is facing a small group of people who belong on other positions, including delusionals such as diverse Christians who are waiting for the return of their Messiah and remember him in Israel to prepare the runway before it will then go to the Jewish baptisms. Embarrassing to me all the fruitless debates but also because there were more important things, here and on other continents, that would be discussed. But Israel is now even his enemies a real affair of the heart, and so there is no escape.

So what has the good doctor from his audience Tibi Pax Christi women, teachers, peace activists and other good people? A bunch of lies, distortions, misrepresentations, in short, Palestinian propaganda. In broken English he is the only no great effort and secretes a few sentences from which I had previously all can guess. There is only the Zionist narrative in Israel, the Arab will deliberately suppressed. No Arab could study at an Israeli university. The Arab population of Israel, 20 percent were under-represented in public life and almost all of them unemployed. And so on and so forth.

It is easy to refute all this. This can be done on a daily basis, about five minutes reading the Israeli press. Hardly a day passes in which the Ha'aretz regularly report on discrimination against Arabs. Tibi has a Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem made. In the Knesset, Arabs are pretty much their share of the population represented accordingly. There is a disadvantage of Arab villages, but there is also a promotion of Arab villages. Often, the money will disappear with the mayor, and in every village there are a large property with pool and body fat before. All this can be seen when one travels around the country. The road blocks have been reduced drastically in the West Bank a fragile flower economic miracle plants.

That says it all but not the doctor, and his listeners do not hear it too. He prefers to speak of the wall and the fact that there are other ways to prevent infiltration by terrorists (Which incidentally is an interesting thought - I would like to know what he means exactly). Israel is a thoroughly racist society need to support the Palestinians in Europe. Then there is room for questions. "Did I understand you correctly? ? Israel is no democracy, "says one, leaving the entire cargo follow: What about the torture? In the prisons? In the occupied territories? What about the visiting time for family members of imprisoned Palestinians in Israel? How can we promote the boycott? What does he think of the bomb Iran? Yes, he thinks that I would be interested. Tibi but shares with only what he thinks about the Israeli nuclear bomb.

succeed I too, Ahmed Tibi to ask a few questions: What he says to the anti-Semitism in Palestinian textbooks, children's hand? What he thinks that "collaborators" to be slaughtered? As he thinks about the hate campaigns of the Islamic Movement? He does not answer but asked me a question: Did I want to know something about "incitement" of sedition so. In fact, I say, that's what me if this has constantly of "racism" and "apartheid" is mentioned. "Incitement" would not need the Palestinians, taught me the Doctor, that worried the Israelis themselves all look at any Palestinians when he wake up in the morning, in an Israeli gun, and then his eyes fall upon the graves of his fathers and brothers. Liberated laughter and applause from the audience.

I would have liked to ask more. For example, why he speaks of the "narrative". A narrative is a narrative on the basis of "We tell (well sometimes) so". So folklore, fairy tales and legends of the peoples. Also I would like to know why the newspaper of the Lebanese Communist Party (which for him would still be a trusted source) in 1948 reported that the Arabs left tens of thousands their villages, because the Iraqi commander had asked it to, probably in the belief that one will quickly deal with the Jews pack. Why he does not explain why one no longer speaks for 40 years of Jordanian and Egyptian Arabs, why it goes at once to a Palestinian state? And why should not Jews live in Arab soil? Palestine should of Jews to be? I would also like to know why never speaking of the thousands of illegally built Arab apartment buildings in the Arab part of Jerusalem the question.

It should not go unnoticed that the good doctor described the Holocaust as the greatest crime against humanity. It is here and now that is at all no problem, and then give it to hunt on "the Zionists" menu. "He should explain his Hezbollah and Syrian contacts," I murmur. "Why," asks my neighbor. "Because the terrorists are!" I put. "Oh God, what have been terrorists," said the neighbor, "take a look into Gaza." What is, what makes people obsessively go to such events? What need is there satisfied? My son is learning

for the oral baccalaureate, among other things, it's about the Weimar Republic. He says he needed a sense of time, the Facts to understand better. We talked a lot. On Sunday evening I thought to myself how it must have been in this anti-Semitic circles around the turn of the century: all are very curious, eager and zealous to hear it and add add some other facets of their world view. "I've known not so," said one of the organizers for the "lecture". Yes, Thunder and lightning, you never learn it from! A wall! Apartheid! Torture!

crept over me the idea that the need to feel good. As one can wallow in it, self-righteous and critical, as children with the nursing bottle. That all this is infinitely complicated, as, for example, using Yaacov Lozowick learn brilliant Hebron and Jerusalem analysis can - no question. I went home alone, depressed plentiful. No, it's not fun to know that what I have in Café an oasis heard lies and half truths. I thought it was pretty awful, actually, it creeps me from such people.
