The importance of countering their propaganda

Hate Porn Specialist

There is no entity in the world more keenly aware of the criminal nature of the Israeli project in Palestine than the government of Israel itself. David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel is often quoted on this point. But while Palestinians remain in a state of exile and oppression in their own country, he cannot be quoted enough:

"Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been antisemitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? "

Some people are aware of the network of Israel-promoters around the world who have dedicated themselves to preaching venom about the Palestinians and their sympathisers in other parts of the Muslim world. At the apex of this hate promotion is the rabid Zionist Melanie Phillips who was recently, and thankfully, defeated in her attempt to win the UK weblog awards for 2008. At least that opportunity to gloat over Palestinian deaths was denied her.

Phillips keeps a daily diary of Muslim hatred on The Spectator website from which she spews outrageous claims and distortions to an adoring crowd of fascists and sickos whose comments have to be seen to be believed.

'Mad Mel', as she is known by many, has become a creature of derision on the left - dismissed as a loony who is not worth paying any attention to. This bemusement is misplaced. Melanie Phillips is a very dangerous person - someone from whom thousands derive active Zionist inspiration. For anyone who wants to know what the Israeli propaganda machine is really about, her blog is essential reading. For instance she has been assiduously attacking charities and charitable work in the ME with a spew of blogs and pieces accusing them of being anything other than what they are: providers of humanitarian relief. Here is recent blog entry which attempts to smear the Disaster Emergecy Appeal for Gaza that was recently broadcast in the UK:

This anti-ME tirade is not isloated to the DEC appeal. Muslim charities have described how Barclays (Chairman Marcus Agius, Fiend of Israel and married to one of the de Rothschilds whose family are one of the principle sponors of the Zionist project) - and other banks have been trying to close them down. Agius is also a Senior Independent Director of the BBC:

"Five weeks later on December 18, 2008, another Muslim Charity, Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT), received a similar notice from their bank that they will close down their accounts within 30 days. UWT has been banking with Barclays since its inception in 2001 in order to carry out relief operations in over twenty countries across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East —providing support to over a million people.

Barclays Bank has given no apparent explanation to why the notice has been issued. Mohammed Ahmed, UWT Director of Operations, said in a statement: “We are deeply concerned with Barclays Bank’s decision to close our accounts without any justification. This decision will not only affect the great work carried out by UWT but will affect millions of people who rely on UWT. This decision sets a dangerous precedent of disrupting British charities without any substantiation. UWT confirms that this is a decision of the bank management and does not reflect the view of the Charity Commission that regulates and monitors the work of charities functioning in the UK ".

We can see that Melanie is bang on message.

She is hysterical with hatred for Obama, whose concessions of friendly intent toward the Muslim world, though substanceless and hypocritical, have nevertheless enraged her so much that she is now at screaming pitch in her efforts to discredit him - again consistent with the view of the fiends:

Once again Melanie is bang on message:
{The following is not a quote from Melanie Phillips, but of Charles Krauthammer. The peer-review by a commenter pointed out this fact below, thank you. - ed.}
"In these most recent 20 years — the alleged winter of our disrespect of the Islamic world — America did not just respect Muslims, it bled for them. It engaged in five military campaigns, every one of which involved — and resulted in — the liberation of a Muslim people: Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. The two Balkan interventions — as well as the failed 1992-93 Somalia intervention to feed starving African Muslims (43 Americans were killed) — were humanitarian exercises of the highest order, there being no significant U.S. strategic interest at stake. In these 20 years, this nation has done more for suffering and oppressed Muslims than any nation, Muslim or non-Muslim, anywhere on Earth. Why are we apologizing?"

The psychophancy and twistedness of these claims are carefully crafted to do two things: create public acceptance and encouragement for the genocide - and to be as vile as she knows how about Muslims. This is typical Phillips - who specialises in intentional insult and provocation. She knows all about the millions of people murdered, maimed and dispossessed by these 'liberations'. Finding opportunities to metaphorically stamp and cheer on their graves is her sick pleasure. Note that word 'significant' though. Not even a Phillips can quite bring herself to claim that all this theft and murder is pure US altruism. The whole world knows the US doesn't get out of bed for other countries unless it is to violently appropriate strategic or material advantage.

War Criminals and why Phillips is important

The scale of the propaganda machine working on Israel's behalf is huge. Google the words 'Friends of Israel' and you'll discover pages and pages of references to supporters all over the world - all recruited to promoting messages like Phillips.

Individual groups themselves often have members in countries all over the world - the propaganda is truly colossal:

Ireland's Sean Gannon is one of the most determined of them in this country - afforded regular space in the Irish Times, a paper with a strong bias towards Israel -:

Hasbara

The most pernicious of these groups is the Israel-based Hasbara which has been operating at fever pitch in recent weeks and circulating messages such as this one:

"Dear friends,

We hold the [sic] military supremacy, yet fail the battle over the international media. We need to buy time for the IDF to succeed, and the least we can do is spare some (additional) minutes on the net. The ministry of foreign affairs is putting great efforts in balancing the media, but we all know it's a battle of numbers. The more we post, blog, talkback, vote – the more likely we gain positive sentiment.

I was asked by the ministry of foreign affairs to arrange a network of volunteers, who are willing to contribute to this effort. If you're up to it you will receive a daily messages & media package as well as targets."

This is a quote from a Guardian article by Richard Silverstein ('Hasbara Spam Alert') which explains the spamming of the media by the Israeli Ministry for Foreign Affairs to 'buy time' for the slaughter in Gaza. Essential reading:

The true fate of the Palestinian people has been stifled by this network of evil - thus far successful in disguisng the bloodlust of the Zionists and re-packaging it for consumption by a world too willing to believe in the victimhood of the Holocaust survivors as a rationale for any crime the Palestinians have been subjected to. It's surely our duty to put an equal effort into countering these lies. Among all of the deadly weapons deployed against the Palestinians, Phillips and her ilk have been the deadliest.
