US-Israeli war aim is to annihilate Lebanon

…The sharp escalation of the attacks against Lebanon Friday have made it abundantly clear that the objective of this US-Israeli war of aggression is to demolish Lebanon as an independent and sovereign country.The war is aimed at transforming the country into an occupied territory controlled by the US and Israel, perhaps through the medium of a NATO “peacekeeping” force. The destruction of Lebanon is being carried out quite deliberately, and with very definite designs. For Israel, it is yet again a matter of annexation of more territory. And for Washington, it is the preparation of new and even bloodier wars, directed in the first instance against Syria and Iran.

The pretense that this war is being waged to defend Israel from terrorism or even to destroy the Shiite Hezbollah movement is belied by the Israeli bombing campaign that is now striking targets and claiming victims far from the Shiite centers of south Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut…

Venezuela’s Chavez compares Israel to Hitler

Reuters AlertNet – Venezuela’s Chavez compares Israel to Hitler

…Chavez, on a visit to Doha where Al Jazeera is based, said Israel was carrying out an “imperialist offensive” against Lebanon and the Palestinians that was orchestrated by the United States as part of a bid to control the energy-rich region.

“The American hand is pushing them. It is behind the Israeli aggression, it is an imperialist aggression … and Israel is one of the imperialist tools.”…

Is Israel an Apartheid State?

Is Israel an Apartheid State?

Perhaps you have heard of moves to declare Zionism a “racist” ideology or you have heard it said that Israel is an “apartheid state”. On the face of it, this may seem ridiculous. Isn’t Israel a democracy?For one thing, there is Israel’s occupation of Palestine and its treatment of the Palestinians. That alone is enough to make Israel a particularly brutal colonial power. Visit my Palestine page to learn more about this.

But that is not all. In Israel, citizenship and nationality are two different things. Both Jews and non-Jews may have Israeli citizenship, but nationality is based on race. There is a Jewish nationality and an Arab nationality. All citizens must register with their nationality. Then Israel sets legal rights based on nationality rather than just citizenship. Here are some articles that explain more about this situation.

After you have read these, I hope you will begin to understand why words like “racism” and “apartheid” are used to describe Israel.

Hizbullah’s attacks stem from Israeli incursions into Lebanon

Friday, August 4th, 2006

An overview of the Middle East situation I can live with:

Hizbullah’s attacks stem from Israeli incursions into Lebanon

…The fundamental obstacle to understanding the Arab-Israeli conflict is that we have given up on asking what is right and wrong, instead asking what is “practical” and “realistic.” Yet reality is that Israel is a profoundly racist state, the existence of which is buttressed by a seemingly endless succession of punitive measures, assassinations, and wars against its victims and their allies.A realistic understanding of the conflict, therefore, is one that recognizes that the crux is not in this or that incident or policy, but in Israel’s foundational and per- sistent refusal to recognize the humanity of its Palestinian victims. Neither Hizbullah nor Hamas are driven by a desire to “wipe out Jews,” as is so often claimed, but by a fundamental sense of injustice that they will not allow to be forgotten…

I found this very strong speech on the bittorrent server thepiratebay.org.

Chossudovsky in no uncertain terms states that

  • USA has embarqued on global war
  • Iran is the next major target
  • The pretext ‘War on Terror’ is a fabrication
  • The primary goal is control of oil ressources
  • Israel will play an active role in bombing the middle east
  • Nuclear weapons has been decategorized as conventional weapons

Hezbollah Captures 2 Israeli Soldiers – in Southern Lebanon!

Tuesday, August 1st, 2006

Hezbollah didn’t ‘kidnap’ two Israeli soldiers inside Israel.

They CAPTURED the two soldiers on a commando mission INSIDE LEBANON!

This is contrary to the Israeli propaganda that is being parrotted by our western media.

Here is an early report by Forbes.com

Hezbollah Captures 2 Israeli Soldiers – Forbes.com

The militant group Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers during clashes Wednesday across the border in southern Lebanon,

Not that I think this is actually really important. We can argue till the cows come home who did what first. What matters is WHO DOES THE MOST EXTREME ATTROCITIES AGAINST THE CIVILIANS AND INFRASTRUCTURE OF ANOTHER COUNTRY.

Look at the facts and use your brain: Israel is committing war-crimes, and we are complicit when we accept that they can continue the absurd bombardment of Lebanon, instead of demanding a ceasefire, and putting our actual muscle behind this demand – economically and politically.

USA won’t do that because they are in cahoots with the Israelis and the imperialistic agenda, but at least SOME European countries ought to take the moral stand, and stop spewing Zionist propaganda.

Well, it wont happen in here in Denmark, where we have our own wannabe Fascist government – And that one goes out to you mister Per Stig Møller.

Mobilize to avenge the blood of Qana

…If there is anyone out there who is still wondering why Arabs and Muslims view Britain and the United States as their implacable enemies, then look no further. To the analysts, experts and commentators, whether in the media or in academia, who are still befuddled as to why Arabs and Muslims are turning to “extremism” and terrorism, we say this: replay the images of murder in Qana, Tyre, Sidon, Beirut and Gaza, then listen again to the war criminal Bush and his poodle Blair resisting calls for a ceasefire, and you have the answer…

More pictures of death and destruction in Lebanon

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

When I look at these pictures I think:

Our Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller ought to take look at pictures such as these before he parots more of the US propaganda about a cease-fire not being the right thing to do. Then he should think long and hard; how would he react if this was his Friends, family and children, would he really agree that a cease-fire was not called for?

I put these pictures into the Picture Gallery at

It’s Put up or Shut up Time in Lebanon

Mike Whitney

“Over the past few days, the Israelis did the maximum they can do,
from the air and sea. There is no targetËœold, new, assumed, expected,
based on information and analysis˜they did not hit∑ (But) Hezbollah is
still managing the battle calmly, slowly, quietly , and without any
emotional reaction. You can see this. There are no unnecessary threats
and no random rhetoric∑We are not a classic army extending from the
sea to Mt. Hermon. We are a popular and serious resistance movement
that is present in many areas and axes∑Our equation and principles are
the following: When the Israelis enter, they must pay dearly in terms
of their tanks, officers, and soldiers. This is what we pledge to do
and we will honor our pledge, God willing.” Hasan Nasrallah,
Secretary Hezbollah, Al Jazeera interview;
uruknet.info

The Israeli High-Command loves the air-war phase of the conflict.
After all, no one gets killed at 30,000 ft. The only victims of this
lethal-strategy are the unlucky women and children who are left
scampering for their lives while Israeli bombs flatten their ho mes and
all their worldly possessions. (more…)

U.S. Arming of Israel:

Much has been made of the Syrian and Iranian origin of weaponry used by Hezbollah but there has been little discussion of where Israel’s weapons come from.

The real aims of the US-backed Israeli war against Lebanon

It’s interesting to see that SOME pundits without referring to 9/11 are able to reach realistic analyses, as if they did know 911truth.

Washington’s determined effort to allow Israel to continue the slaughter in Lebanon underscores that the current war is part of US imperialism’s drive, by any and all means, to establish American supremacy throughout the Middle East.

Hillary Clinton celebrates Israeli war crimes

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

This article is a pretty damning portrait of Hillary’s efforts in the Israeli – palestinian conflict.

Hillary Clinton celebrates Israeli war crimes

hillary_grotesque.jpghillary_pink.jpg

…“We will stand with Israel because Israel is standing up for American values as well as Israeli ones,” the New York Democrat proclaimed at the New York City rally.Clinton’s remark constitutes a libel against the American people. The indiscriminate slaughter from the air of innocent children with the aim of terrorizing an entire population represents not the values of American working people, the vast majority of the population, but rather the perverse and criminal methods of ruling elites in both the US and Israel, which are determined to impose their imperialist diktat upon the entire Middle East, by whatever means necessary…

Lebanon pays for Hezbollah’s sins

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Here’s a report that’s clearly not afraid to portray Hezbollah somewhat positively.

Lebanon pays for Hezbollah’s sins

Hezbollah remains the only military force that the Israelis really respect, based on its top-notch training and equipment supplied by Iran, and a brand of Shiite Islam that lends both extreme discipline and total fearlessness. Hezbollah boasts thousands of fighters, many battle-hardened, backed by a significant number of artillery pieces and rockets. It constitutes no threat to invade and hold northern Israel. But the daring and successful operation it pulled off on Wednesday shows that it cannot be taken lightly. Ambushing an IDF Humvee patrol, Hezbollah forces killed three Israeli soldiers and seized two more. When the Israelis sent tanks across the border in pursuit, a powerful cache of buried explosives destroyed one tank, killing its four-man crew. And in the face of massive air, artillery and naval strikes against Lebanese infrastructure and military targets, Hezbollah has managed to fire hundreds of rockets and artillery shells into northern Israel; late on Thursday, rockets were reported to have struck the major Israeli city of Haifa. Even the U.S. Navy reportedly pulled its ships out of Haifa’s ports.

The Iron Wall

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

The Iron Wall

In 1923 Vladimir Jabotinsky, leading intellectual of the Zionist movement and father of the right wing of that movement, wrote:”Zionist colonization must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population – behind an The Iron Wall , which the native population cannot breach.” First published in Russian under the title O Zheleznoi Stene in Rassvyet, 4 November 1923.

From that day these words became the official and unspoken policy of the Zionist movement and later the state of Israel. Settlements were used from the beginning to create a Zionist foothold in Palestine.

Chip Berlet in proximity to seconddraft.org

Monday, June 12th, 2006

Relateret til temalørdag:

I mellemtiden har jeg opdaget noget pudsigt om Chip Berlet:
På hans wikipedia-side finder man:

He has served on the advisory board of the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University

Hvor man finder:

Boston University professor Richard Landes currently serves as director of the center.

Hvor der står:

In September 2005, Landes launched the pro-Israeli website seconddraft.org in response to a perceived pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli bias in some media reports from the Middle East.

Og blam så er man hos en ultra-israelsk anti-palæstinensisk website, som ser ud til primært at argumentere for at den berømte sag med den palæstinensiske dreng der blev skudt i armene på sin far , i virkeligheden var et palæstinensisk mediestunt, hvor drengen slet ikke blev skudt.

Her er en subtil ironi i at man lige checker omgangskredsen på an anti-konspirations forsker, og så støder man ind i konspirations-teorier fra den tunge skuffe.

Det er jo ikke nogen substantiel bevisførelse, men det giver alligevel en fornemmelse af hvilken type Chip kunne være.
