Why not all Innocent Victims are the same?

beeb beeb... | 12.07.2006 10:59

It seems that for the BBC there are two kinds of innocent civilian victims.

There are reports in the International media about the killing of six people including women and children in an attack on the house of a Hamas member in Gaza by Israel last night. Main European newspapers are reporting this killing, but not the BBC, neither in their web page or their broadcast news bulletings. I ask myself why the BBC is denying the British citizens this information. Do the innocent Palestinian victims deserve a leaser treatment than other innocent civilian victims?. What is the difference betwen bombing innocent civilians in India, Britain, Palestine or Israel?. More than 60 people have been killed in Gaza during the last 2 weeks, many of them innocent civilians, but our media seems not to care as much for them as it does for others. I know this posting will provoke some people to write excuses for murdering innocent civilians, but that is exactly what the terrorist do.

Got war crimes if you want them

12.07.2006 11:48

Putting the side the fact that your accusation of BBC selective reporting was shown to be a load of bollocks by the previous poster...
As you yourself admit, the target was the house of a prominent Hamas supporter (Hamas being rightly classified as a terrorist group by the EU (including of course the UK) as well as the US, Israel and many other nations. This unfortunate muppet had created a legitimately target-rich environment by inviting a number of other leading terrorists to a meeting there. This would appear to be in itself a war crime, since it was using civilians (in this case unfortunately for him his own family) as human shields, but this is what the terrorists in Gaza deliberately do every day.
To this we have to add that the Palestinian definition of "civilian" is loose and elastic and often refers to individuals, particularly teenagers, assisting terrorists in their activities. Obviously this use of under-age accessories is also a war crime.
Anyway, palestinian statistics are a load of cynically but crudely manipulated crap as a rule, even when the IDF wasn't actually responsible for the deaths (see the fireworks at Jemaliya camp last September, the bogus Pallywood "beach massacre" and last Saturday's "friendly fire" deaths of three civilians in a house. Why even the suicide bombers who grotesquely and deliberately murdered hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians (in the true sense) were counted as "civilians" in the Palestinians own statistics.

The alternative view


The BBC article is not acurate

12.07.2006 12:30

I thinks the first posting has got some relevance. The BBC article doesn’t mention that the 9 people killed are a couple and 7 of their 9 children, it doesn’t mention innocent civilians or the world massacre, which would have been used if it was a crime committed by the other side.

The second paragraph on the BBC story states "a couple and seven children were killed in the attack".

So the last criticism is also, quite obviously, wrong.

.. this is a naked lunch, take a look ...

... are all a hasbara student can counter ...

Lets have a deeper look:

First, if you want a balanced and weighty examination of the corporate press and [its] response to the unfolding and continual attack on the people of Palestine by the zionist war machine (a little biased there myself!), look no further than:

 http://www.medialens.org/alerts/index.php

Certainly a more interesting and comprehensive examination than you are likely to get from the racist calling themselves 'The alternative view'. News for you TWAT, its not alternative and we don't want to view it. All racists and fuckwit fasicts can go now please.

... "the Palestinian definition of "civilian" is loose"

Yes we know, you only kill terrorists. How do we know? Because you killed them off course.

The chilling ... "target-rich environment" ... must mean: anywhere there is resistance, or Palestinians deliberately breeding potential terrorists.

The horrendous ... "the bogus Pallywood "beach massacre" ... would get you a kicking personally from me if I knew where you were.

Esculation.

Where else in the world

12.07.2006 16:29

Find me any other place in the world where a full scale invasion would take place on the grounds that a soldier has been kidnapped by a terrorist organisation. Needless to say the soldier has as much right to be there as an iranian soldier has to be in the UK. But thats beside the point. The point is that an organisation with no apparent link to the Hammas Govkidnapped some1 and the israelis found the excuse they needed to invade. For years ive heard the US/EU and Israel call for free elections in Palestine and the only time it happens they start their sanctions and invasions. Imperialism at its highest. No excuses required just do as you please. As western citizens in the western Imperialist hemisphere it is our DUTY to put an end to this genocide that has been created by the EU/US and their base in the middle east called Israel. Rallys must be continuous and support for the Palestinian people must be voiced as often as possible. Or else soon there wont be a Palestinian people to talk about.

No right?

"Needless to say the soldier has as much right to be there as an iranian soldier has to be in the UK."

What? An Israeli soldier has no right to be in Israel? What nonsense is this? Hamas crossed over from Gaza into Israel to kidnap him. Today Hizbolah crossed over from Lebanon into Israel to do the same thing.

Those that glorify jewish terrorism are always welcome on Indymedia UK

12.07.2006 18:36

Can the censors of Indymedia UK explain why the racist filth 'The alternative view' is allowed to proudly GLORIFY JEWISH TERRORISM against the Humans of Gaza? The post is technically illegal under UK law, although 'The alternative view' is all too aware that with people like Mandelson, Straw, and Goldsmith in power in the UK, comments glorifying jewish terrorism are NEVER going to be prosecuted, any more than comments praising nazi terrorism would have been punished in Germany at the time (despite often being technically illegal there as well).

WHY DO YOU HAVE ONE RULE FOR JEWISH TERRORISM (and remember, when a small 'jewish' group within the UK recently placed an ad condemning Israeli-jewish terrorism in Gaza, the UK Israeli embassy stated that the jewish population of the UK almost entirely backed every crime against humanity carried out in the name of Israel), AND ANOTHER RULE FOR SO-CALLED MUSLIM TERRORISM.

If muslims were allowed to drop massive bombs on the houses containing jews responsible for training for, planning for or executing the harm of muslim civilians, the vast majority of buildings across the WHOLE of Israel would be destroyed.

Alternatively, if Hitler had been allowed to use the language of 'The alternative view', every one of his jewish victims would have been a legitimate target, or collateral damage.

The BBC reports jewish atrocities with all the propaganda skills that Goebbels used to propagandise nazi atrocities, and to the same ends. This is hardly suprising, since the BBC has ALWAYS been under the control of the same tribe that forms Israel. Take the latest 6 o'clock news report. The murder of 23 Humans in Gaza got 1 second of coverage, in a report that STATED that the jews of Israel had the absolute right to murder unlimited numbers of Humans in Gaza and Lebanon in revenge for the capture and death of a few Israeli 'soldiers'.

23 HUMANS BUTCHERED BY JEWISH TERRORISTS TODAY, AND ONE SECOND OF COVERAGE. Of course, even this amount of coverage allows a foul racist like 'The alternative view' to claim that the BBC does an unbiased job, and to troll his racist crap here CERTAIN IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT INDYMEDIA UK CENSORS WILL PROUDLY KEEP HIS RACIST COMMENT, BUT CENSOR REPLIES LIKE THIS.

Jewish terrorism has been the scourge of the world since WW2, when those that formed Israel realised the potential of such a racist powerbase, and how the building of 'their' power would require the gradual smashing of competing muslim nations. Millions were killed when Iran and Iraq were thrown at each other as a direct consequence of Israeli actions at the very top of the US government. The Gulf War followed for the same reason, the sanctions likewise, and again the invasion of Bosnia (tribal influence with the Serbs), Chechnya (tribal influnce at the top of the Russian government), Afghanistan, and Iraq. Israel, and its jewish supporters, are the only major population of Humans pushing for the genocide of Iran.

I do not for a second forget that in reality jewish terrorism is permitted because it serves the agenda of others. While Israeli supporting jews consider themselves a 'master-race', superior to the rest of us 'cattle', born to inherit the Earth, other forces exploit the racist dynamic of these nutters, and use them as 'shock troops'.

Blair plays lip-service to Israel, and encourages the BBC to spew its racist garbage because it keeps the 'shock troops' loyal and trusting. Blair knows that his people will knock out ANY comment that dares to use the word 'jew' with the same efficiency that nazis eliminated anti-nazi comment.

TODAY, THE JEWS OF ISRAEL CAN MURDER 23 HUMANS IN GAZA WITH NO, OR NEXT TO NO COMMENT IN THE NEWS BROADCASTS SEEN BY THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. 23 people today, 230 tomorrow, 2300 the day after, and so on.

JACK STRAW SET THE GROUND FOR THIS GENOCIDE, WHEN HE USED HIS POWER AS FOREIGN SECRETARY TO HAVE ALL SIGNIFICANT PALESTINIAN ORGANISATIONS DESCRIBED AS TERRORIST BY THE EU.

Jack Straw is, of course, jewish, as is Goldsmith, the monster that signed off Blair's genocide of Iraq, and Mandelson, Blair's closest associate, responsible for glorifying the terrorism of Israel from the very beginning of his political career. Jews working to enable the mass murder of muslims, just as nazis worked to enable the mass murder of jews long ago.

Every jew? Of course not. But then neither did every nazi support the war crimes of Hitler. IT IS THE NETWORK OF ISRAEL EMBASSIES ACROSS THE WORLD, AND THE MOST POWERFUL JEWISH RELIGIOUS LEADERS FOUND WITHIN EACH NATION THAT STATE THAT THE JEWS OF PLANET EARTH STAND BEHIND EACH AND EVERY ATROCITY CARRIED OUT BY ISRAEL.

While I see some jews fight against this position, they are tiny in number. The vast majority of jewish comment, like that above from 'The alternative view', could have been directly translated from a nazi propaganda broadcast, with Israel swapped for nazi Germany, jew for German, and Palestinian or muslim for jew. Every 'master-race' death is an absolute demand for war and retribution. Every 'sub-human' murdered is merely "one more piece of vermin exterminated".

We are worse, for the racist atrocities of Israel and its supporters like 'The alternative view' are allowed because they serve OUR interest. While the jews of Israel were busy building the 'master-race' a 'homeland', we were preparing for a world where the death of 'empire' put our future oil-reserves in the hands of 'dodgy arabs'. We allowed the creation of the ultimate racist state, Israel, because we wanted a stick with which to beat the 'arabs' whenever neccessary. Israel would allow us to keep OUR monsters in power at the top of key 'middle-east' nations.

A situation was created that was ripe for exploitation by monsters big and small. The jews of Europe and the US see a demographic disaster that will wipe out their long and hard built powerbase as the dominant minority. Why? Because the population of muslims is exploding, and unlike other minorities, the muslims won't sit back and allow racism to give the jews vastly more power than their numbers deserve. The solution for key jewish leaders? Easy, the muslims need PRUNING, genocide of muslims in their homelands, and the backlash will make muslim populations in Europe and US targets for extermination.

As these historic movements begin, greater monsters see greater possibilities. The US wants to be crowned mafia boss of planet Earth. That ambition requires massive amounts of unleashed violence. Those skilled at propagandising the very worst of racist atrocity are perfect servants of this ambition. And above this US ambition is Blair, aware that the possibility of starting a planet destroying WORLD WAR has never been greater.

If comments like this were NOT hidden by the racists that implant themselves to serve their 'master-race', the probabilty of racist regime in Israel being ended once and for all, as was apartheid South Africa, and nazi Germany, would rocket. That is exactly WHY comments such as this MUST be hidden. One day, the acts of jewish mass murder in Gaza will link directly to the the murder of our friends and family in the greater wars that Blair will build on the back of such unpunished atrocities.

The Board Of British Jews and the BBC

12.07.2006 19:41

>>The Chief Rabbi showed he could do it then, and the Chief Rabbi today has said an edict is a possibility unless Rachel gets an apology and a commitment from Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood to stop their verbal and on-screen attacks against her. If it means that Jews at the BBC resign en masse, then that is a clear possibility as once an edict is issued by the Chief Rabbi, every Jew must follow it.>Until the Board gets a personal apology from the Labour Party attack on the whole Jewish community, it will issue a rabbinical edict which will be led by joint chief Rabbis Sir Jonathan Sacks of the Unity Movement and Rabbi Beryl Cohen of the Independent Synagogue Society.

“Our first withdrawal will be Lord Levy who will refuse to offer any help in fundraising for the Labour Party,” Mr Greenberg said. “We have also called on Peter Mandelson to work part-time and go on a work slow protest.” <<

Their goal is establish courts that will dispense the Seven Laws of Noah, which the Torah obligates all of humanity to follow, to jews and non-jews alike (naturally there is a difference in how this law is dispensed to jews and non jews).

Here they are talking about it:

 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=83438

Here are some other people talikng about it:

 http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=religion_judaism_anti&Number=294745797&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=21∂=

Rabbi Nachman Kahane, the brother of the late fascist racist inspiration behind 'the saint goldstein' - who butched scores of worshippers (it's ok though, because the Laws of Noah & the Rabbis of the Chabad Movement say this is acceptable if the victims were non jews).

A "Noahide" is basically a non jew under the jurisdiction of the jewish courts (which includes ALL of the earth).

They have even built the court building in jerusalem waiting to pass sentance on their property.

No(t) Right???

13.07.2006 16:35

How do you know it was the Palestinian Govt that kidnapped the soldier? U hiding something from us? Or u getting your intelligence from the famous western '45 minutes to run and hide' wankers. Explain yourself.

If a country gets blown to bits as a result of an organisation kidnapping to soldiers, then Israel should have been in the process of rebuilding itself.....for the 100th time as a result of the vulgur, fascist actions it has taken over the past half century.
