Surrender
of Sovereignty to International Bullying
by Steven Shamrak
Nobody can say,
after many years of propagating Zionism and the rights of the Jewish people to
live on their ancestral land, that I am a Qaddafi sympathizer. During decades
of his reign in Libya he has
proven himself as an egomaniac dictator who has skillfully combined, as all
Arab rulers do, brutality with tribal autonomy in order to stay in power. He
used terror and Islamic terrorism, as most of the Muslim despots are guilty of
this ‘cultural behaviour’ and have been sponsoring Islamic terrorism openly or
in stealth, in order to raise his status among Muslim leaders!
But a recent
resolution of the United Nations to impose a no-fly zone over Libya and the UK
government statement that “Qaddafi is a legitimate target” is highly
suspicious, given current international law must respect sovereignty of all
countries.
Firstly, Libya is
an independent country and the conflict between Qaddafi and rebels, who knows
what is their political agenda, in the East of the country is an internal
matter. It should not be used as an excuse for international involvement and
aggression, regardless of how we feel about the regime.
For example, for
10 years the UN and the ‘willing coalitions’ did not interfere in Sudan. They
watched the killing of tens of thousands of Sudanese citizens and the
displacement of many millions of refugees from the Southern Sudan and Darfur
region.
The UN did nothing
to stop genocide in Rwanda or bring to an end bombings of Grozny in Chechnya by
Russian plans and artillery! Why was this resolution adopted so fast and
implemented even faster without proper debate and planning?
Libya is
experiencing a civil war, which is an internal matter! Why is France the
country, which is usually so reluctant to participate in conflicts like this
such an eager accomplice and even took a leading role? Why are there already
talks about a regime change, rather than just enforcing the no-fly zone? The UN
has not authorised it! And most importantly, why isn’t anybody asking these
questions?
Secondly, some
would say, “it is all about money” – in this case supply of oil to Europe.
Libyan has oil and gas and in my opinion that is the major factor why European
members of the Security Council eagerly supported the resolution. At the same
time Russia did not veto it because it makes a fistful of money each time a
conflict sparks in the Middle East.
In addition, the
UK was holding a big grudge against Qaddafii
over the Lockerbie bombing and the recent
humiliating deal it made with Libya, releasing the perpetrator of the attack
from jail! The United States is always willing to show Saudi Arabia and other
gulf oil producing Arab states that it is still a super power and is able to
inflict pain on any ‘undemocratic’ ruler at any time, regardless of the
international laws. This action against Libya will keep Arab rulers in line and
allow the coalition to continue unchecked control and enforcement of
international policies as it deems fit.
Like I said, I am
not a friend of Qaddafi but international bullying and disregard for the rules
of the international law must be stopped. The rights of any sovereign state
must be respected and protected!
Food for Thought. by
Steven Shamrak
Most current Jewish self-haters usually do not care about the opinion of
Zionists. They have a deep and unresolved need to 'fit in' anti-Semitic
surroundings and be 'accepted'!
Demolition of Fictitious Muslim Graves in Jerusalem
The Israel Lands Administration (ILA)
announced that it intends to continue the destruction of fictitious Muslim
graves in Jerusalem. The operation started in the Mamilla area, just west of
the Old City in an effort to gain control of the area and expropriate the land
from Israel, insisting it is a holy site. There are hundreds of fictitious
Muslim graves that have to be removed.
Hamas Rocket Attacks on Israel
Ignored by Press
With all eyes on the disastrous
events unfolding in Japan, with Japanese triple-disaster, and the battle
against the regime of Libya's dictator Moamar Qaddafi, a massive rocket attack
on Israel practically went unnoticed this weekend. Terrorists launched more
than 50 rockets which landed in southern Israel last week with the aim of
causing maximum - and indiscriminate - death and destruction, according to
Israeli government officials. This was the heaviest barrage in two years. (This is further proof that, in addition to traditional
anti-Semitism, international press uses anti-Israel reporting as a filler when
there is nothing else to report.)
YoYo Games Must End
The Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine
al-Qassam Brigades, which lobbed about 50 mortar rounds into Israel, made a truce offer in a statement released after Israeli
aircraft raided Gaza. (How many useless cease fires with enemies who want to
destroy Israel must Jews endure? Israel has the military capability to end this
conflict once and for all. Where is the will?)
Why are British not
Outraged by Bombing in Jerusalem?
A British national, killed after
an explosion ripped through a bus stop in Jerusalem, was an evangelical
Christian who was studying Hebrew. Mary Jean Gardner, 59, Bible translators,
originally from Orkney in Scotland, was killed by the blast and about 50 people
were injured in the attack, which was blamed on Palestinian terrorists. (Why is boycotting of Israel is more important to the
British than Islamic terror? Have they forgotten the 7/7 London bombings
already?)
Hypocrisy of the Headlines:
UN slams Israel’s demolition of 96 Palestinian homes
since start of 2011... – There was no UN condemnation of Israel when Jewish homes
were demolished and 8,500 Jews were deported from Gaza! ‘Useless Nothing’ is
only good in one game – anti-Israel bigotry!
Small Steps in the Right Direction
The Knesset
approved the second and third reading of the law, which has come to be known as
the “Nakba Law”. The law stipulates that the Minister of Finance may withhold
or reduce budgets from government-funded bodies that deny the existence of
Israel. (Any anti-Israel group, individual, or
organisation must be declared illegal and
deported from the Jewish state! The only democracy in the Middle East should be
able to defend itself.)
Dangerously Delusional as Usual
U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates said
on Thursday that the latest spike in Middle East violence must not derail the
peace process and he urged bold diplomatic action by Israelis and Palestinians.
Gates agreed that no sovereign state can tolerate having rockets fired at its people.
But, he added, that "we don't want to do anything that allows extremists
or others to divert the narrative of reform that's going on in virtually all
the countries of the region." (Would he say this if the United States was
under rocket attack and Americans were terrorized? Why are Jewish lives cheap?
The only “reform“ that the region is experiencing is a perfect opportunity for
Islamists to take over the countries of deposed dictators!)
Nobody Won Defensive
Wars
The IDF is considering deploying The ‘Iron
Dome’ anti-missile defence system in the towns around Gaza on Sunday. This is
despite the fact that the system is not operational yet. It is claimed that the
system can target Kassam and Grad rockets, as well as mortars.
Quote of the Week:
"We must wait to see what kind of
new regimes will rise in Arab countries. I estimate that some of the new
regimes would not be comfortable with the state of Israel, even among those
countries, which made peace with us. It would be a great mistake to present a
political program. It would be more logical to wait and see what changes will
take place in the Arab countries." - Professor Moshe Sharon of the Hebrew University
The UN’s in Compliance with anti-Semitic Tradition
The United Nations Human Rights Council in
Geneva denounced the Israeli presence in the Golan Heights on Thursday. The
resolution on the “Syrian Golan,” which calls for an immediate cessation of any
“settlement” construction in the Golan, is the first of six resolutions on Israel. (Almost 60% of all UN resolutions are directed
against Israel, the only Jewish state! The Golan Heights
were part of the land allocated by the League of Nations for creation of the
Jewish state, Eretz-Israel. It was won back from Syria by Israel after
defensive war. This is another example of disregard for international law where
Israel is concerned!)
Double-Talking
Snake
At the time when a woman was killed and more than 50
other people were wounded in a blast near Jerusalem's central bus
station and 15 more mortar shells hit the Negev, Hamas stated on Wednesday
that it wants to “restore calm” and indicated it is backing off from escalation
in attacks it initiated, as Israel makes it clear it will not tolerate terror.
The de facto Hamas government in Gaza stated, "We stress that our constant
position in the government is to protect stability…” (The
Israeli government does not have a coherent policy on how to end relentless
terror inflicted on Jews by Arabs. Only a complete removal of the cancer,
terror-infested population from Jewish land, can cure this disease - Fake
retaliations are not enough – they just mask the problem!)
