the God of Israel is the God of all humanity

A proposal for an international petition for European Community sanctions against Israel.

What is clearly and unequivocally happening in the Middle East today is no less than the systematic ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Palestinians,by a fiendish combination of stealth ,on the one hand;-and ruthless oppression, on the other.
In this the Israeli government,are regretfully,fully supported by overwhelming majority of the jewish population ,and even more vehemently by their Diaspora in the U.S.A..
Their influence in America is so profound,that no aspiring,or incumbent President dare challenge their re-conquest of their ancestral homeland.On the contrary the American taxpayer has funded their expansionism to the tune of billions of dollars,and the G.I.s are arriving home in bodybags daily due to Bush’s embroilment in a quagmire which may yet match Vietnam.
After 9/11,America prepares the sandbags , to create the largest fortress in world history.
As they build a technological Great Chinese Wall,around the North American Continent- ,Israel is matching it with a concrete version somewhat alike to the barbed wire and watchtower variety which once before circumscribed their destiny in the death camps of The Third Reich.
The fanatical Muslim elements worldwide are emboldened and take strength daily from the injustices perpetrated in the name of an equally fanatical Jewish ‘God.’
Ben Laden’s chilling words ‘America will never be at peace as long as Palestine is unfree’
Are the precursor for an endless guerrilla war .The American people will pay a high the price for their government’s intransigence.
The task of concerned Indymedia supporters worldwide is to make a beginning.
Anti-war protests are of course valuable symbols of the opposition of decent people everywhere to this endless conflict,in which,both soldiers and civilians,including children are maimed or lose their homes ,their land and their lives daily.
A groundswell of manifest support for economic sanctions by the European community against Israel is a first real step.Israel has spent its moral capital.The second world war is long past .Millions of non jews also gave their lives in this conflict.
For all of us who cannot physicallydemonstrate our abhorrence of this war.We must somehow empower ourselves to displaying our outrage.Why ,one asks have sanctions not already begun, as Israel is in flagrant breach of every human right codicle,and statute in the Geneva convention of international law.
If our governments will not listen,perhaps a European Internet Petition Site calling for hundreds of thousands of signatures could begin this campaign which will surely be supported throughout the enlarged European Community of Nations,and indeed far beyond.
I put this proposal to any group with the expertise and/the resources to make a start,a symbolic beginning … to enable the common people to be heard, beyond the vacuum of silence,and empty posturing of our elected representatives in the E.U.
