God’s Chosen
People?
Stephen Lendman is
a Jew. What you read below are the words of a Jew who has a moral conscience
and cannot tolerate the horrendous crimes that the government of the state of
Israel—supported to the hilt by the American neocons who have dominated every
US government since Clinton—commits on Palestinians.
Many Jews have a
moral conscience. Jews are the most outspoken critics of the Zionist Israeli
government that is worshipped by brainwashed American gentiles. The government
of Israel calls its Jewish critics “self-hating Jews” and works to eliminate
them, with much success, from Western university and media employment.
The American
Congress, the mythical “voice of the people,” is in fact the voice of the
crazed rightwing Israeli government. The idiots in Congress actually send each
year to the Israeli government the billions of our taxpayer dollars that the
Israeli government uses to buy the elections and the votes of the US Conress.
You can tell who
the honest members of the House and Senate are. They are the few who do not
vote as the Israel Lobby orders. Usually, such representatives elected by
Americans don’t last long in the job.

Israel’s killing
machine raged on Friday, continuing into Saturday. The Palestinian Red Crescent
Society (PRCS) said Israeli forces wounded over 290 Palestinians yesterday
alone, many seriously – 48 from live fire, 44 using rubber-coated steel
bullets.
Hundreds suffered
from toxic tear gas inhalation. Maan News said “Israeli forces used Palestine
TV reporter and cameraman Sira Sarhan and Hadi al-Dibs as human shields…forcing
them at gunpoint to remain in front of their Jeep and tell protesters to stop
throwing rocks.”
French journalist
David Perrotin was brutally assaulted by Jewish Defense League Zionist zealots
outside AFP’s Paris headquarters. He was beaten with batons.
Lunatics involved
tried storming AFP’s building, waving Israeli flags, throwing eggs, chanting:
“We’re coming to get you.”
One agitator raved:
“We are here to show support for Israel in our war against the Arabs.
Journalists working for organizations like AFP support the Islamic terrorists
and that’s why we have to fight back.” Friday night, Perrotin twittered he’s
OK. He thanked everyone expressing support.
On October 21, Luay
Faisal Ali Abeid stood on his third floor balcony, displaying no weapon,
threatening no one. No clashes were ongoing in the area around his home.
An Israeli soldier
opened fire at him without just cause, a rubber-coated steel bullet fracturing
his skull and nose, striking his left eye. Surgeons couldn’t save it. They had
to operate to remove it.
On Saturday, an
Israeli security guard murdered a Palestinian teenager in cold blood. He was
unarmed threatening no one.
Palestinian medical
workers said Israel prevented help from reaching him. He was shot at least five
times. Overnight Friday into Saturday morning, dozens of Palestinians were
kidnapped – in East Jerusalem, Jenin, Abu Dis, Qabatia and Bethlehem.
Western and Israeli
media reports are entirely one-sided. Palestinians are wrongfully portrayed as
knife-wielding terrorists. Most reports are fabricated. The few legitimate ones
are blown way out of proportion.
Rampaging Israeli
forces and extremist settlers are considered noble defenders. Al Monitor said
“(t)he Obama administration is cutting aid to the Palestinians by $80 million
in what congressional sources describe as a ‘message’ to Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas.”
It’s being reduced
from $370 million to $290 million for the fiscal year ending September 30 –
following criticism from congressional members, blaming Palestinians for
vicious Israeli incitement and premeditated persecution over the past three
weeks.
Zionist zealot Rep.
Eliot Engel (D. NY) said “(w)e need to dial up pressure on Palestinian
officials to repudiate this violence.” On October 22, House Foreign Affairs
Committee members voted unanimously to punish Palestinians for Israeli high
crimes.
Practically the
entire Congress one-sidedly supports Israel, no matter how outrageous its
crimes – nothing worse than cold-blooded murder, defenseless Palestinians
outrageously blamed.
AIPAC demands an
end to “Palestinian incitement…Palestinian terrorists are attacking Israelis,”
it rants.
“Palestinian
leaders…exacerbated tensions,” instead of accurately saying it’s the other way
around, Israel entirely responsible, being rewarded by Washington with hundreds
of millions more in military aid – supporting its killing machine to spill more
blood.
“Palestinians must
renew direct peace talks with Israel (to achieve) a real and lasting peace,”
claims AIPAC – ignoring reality on the ground.
Israel and
Washington deplore peace and stability, thrive on endless violence, at all
times blame victims for their viciousness.
So-called peace
initiatives are dead on arrival every time. They’re a waste of time,
Palestinians always wrongfully blamed for failure.
Daily NYT reports
provide cover for Israeli high crimes. Not a word on horrific Friday’s
Israeli-instigated violence on defenseless Palestinians explained above.
Instead headlined
“Jewish Man Stabbed in Israel by Palestinians as Violence Continues,” blaming
them for an ongoing “wave of violence.”
The entire article
highlights claims about Jewish victims, Palestinian terrorists, attackers,
assailants. The latest Times propaganda piece cited Israel saying a
“Palestinian stabber (was) shot dead.”
No Israelis were
harmed. No weapons were found. Another accusation repeats the same Big Lie
about violent Palestinians, poor Israeli victims. It’s hard believing this
stuff gets printed – maliciously and willfully turning truth on its head.
Sources are always
government or military officials, past or current ones, mostly unnamed,
repeating the same old Big Lie, long ago discredited by legitimate news reports
and analysts.
Israeli state
terror, fully supported by Washington and rogue allies, bears full
responsibility for ongoing, earlier and certain future violence against
defenseless Palestinian victims.
The Times and other
media scoundrels never report what everyone needs to know. Israel’s war on
Palestinians continues with no resolution in prospect.
Just as the New
York Times lies through its teeth about Palestinians, the New York Times lies
through its teeth about Russia. Lendman holds the presstitutes accountable.

On October 20, The
Times tried justifying the Pentagon’s latest Afghan war crime, willfully
bombing a Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital without just cause –
premeditated Times deception suggesting otherwise, ignoring indisputable facts.
The death toll
keeps rising, 26 according to MSF as of October 23 – 37 others injured, many
severely. Numbers of known fatalities “may not be final numbers,” said MSF.
“All that now
remains of the three operating theaters, the ER and outpatient departments, and
the intensive care unit are collapsed roofs, blackened walls, floors thick with
dust, and twisted pieces of metal that were once beds or trolleys,” it
explained painfully.
Its outrage remains
unchanged. The Times report tried whitewashing deliberate mass murder. Its lies
and will distortions never quit.
On October 22, it
claimed precision Russian airstrikes on ISIS and other takfiri targets struck
“(a)t least seven hospitals or medical facilities in Syria,” another vicious
Big Lie, same old Times reporting, systematically suppressing hard truths,
substituting made up rubbish.
Its source for this
and other anti-Syrian propaganda – the London-based, Western financed con man
Rami Abdul Rahman Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), reporting only
what his backers tell him to say, a pack of lies they want proliferated by
willing major media scoundrels.
On Friday, Russian
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova blasted anti-Russian propaganda,
phony reports about its Syrian operations, saying:
“There are so-called
mass media reports which allege that Russian aircraft bombed a field hospital
in the Idlib Governorate in northwestern Syria and reportedly killed 13
people.”
Journalists don’t
write these type reports, she explained. They publish anti-Russian propaganda
prepared for them, claiming it’s real news.
She blasted SOHR,
saying “(a)s we all understand, it is very ‘convenient’ to cover and observe
what is happening in Syria without leaving London and without the ability to
collect information in the field.”
Russia’s campaign
scrupulously avoids striking civilians, while “terrorist groups (keep getting)
reinforcements of people (and) equipment from abroad…”
“These facts raise
a question as to whether parties involved in the Syrian conflict are really
interested in a peaceful settlement, and how this goal is reconciled with
financial and technical support for anti-government armed groups, including
those who directly cooperate with terrorists.”
Daily anti-Russian
propaganda rages. Fabricated rubbish substitutes for hard truths. Only fools
and liars believe it.
In a few short
weeks, Russia’s anti-terrorism campaign in Syria continues showing remarkable
effectiveness – ISIS and other takfiris getting systematically battered. Not a
shred of evidence suggests it’s bombing hospitals or other civilian sites.
Reports claiming otherwise are willful lies.
Moscow’s formidable
weapons and air power have Pentagon commanders trembling, likely not eager to
pick a fight it knows it can’t win.
