With the Clinton machine steaming ahead we can be sure of one thing. America will have a President who supports apartheid, land grab and the continual murder of children.

Bibi’s latest wheeze:
http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/gaza-israel-s-penal-colony-1876311536
Three hours of electricity a day. Sometimes six. In the rain and the cold, or the heat: winter and summer. Then 12 hours or more without electricity, until the next three hours, or six. Every day. Almost two million people. A million of them are refugees and the children of refugees, due directly or indirectly to Israel’s actions.
Almost a million are children. Few people can imagine this. Few Israelis feel any guilt about it. Few Israelis seem to care at all about it. Hamas – you know.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a novel idea now: to this accursed place, he wants to banish the families of the knife-wielding or car-ramming assailants from the last several months.
From now on, not only will any girl or boy with a knife or a pair of scissors be executed on the spot, as has happened increasingly of late whether it was necessary or not; from now on, their families will be punished too. They will pay.
Other sources confirm this -BZ.

From Fedup at 10h51:
“The ziofuckwit vigilante thug, the way he was treating the teen age girl high school student as though he was dealing with a Medellín Cartel hit man, and after she had emptied her school bag he went ahead and shot her!!!!!!
This is the kind of zionfuckit the oh so tossers so calmly support on this board and elsewhere, anyone who is not experiencing an intense hatred towards these supremacists thugs is not a human being, and has sold his soul to the devil.”

It is you and your bumbuddies who are constantly trying to divert (BDS, land grabs, etc, etc…) because you are unable to refute what I have written.

“America will have a President who supports apartheid, land grab and the continual murder of children.”
Apartheid, land grab and the continual murder of children? Although, not necessarily in that order, isn’t that how the USA itself came into being?

Israel collectively punishes Palestinians across the board, on a regular basis, and couldn’t give a hoot about Geneva Conventions. It carefully calculates the minimum dietary requirements of the residents of Gaza, and allows just that minimum to be imported; electricity, water and sanitation facilities were deliberately targeted by Israel, and now as has been posted already on here, electricity and water are frequently unavailable.
Israel destroys family homes of ‘terrorists’, as well as any other homes or farms they wish to.
The maps at http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/mapstellstory.html
show the extent of Israeli land grabbing.
What would REALLY get up Yank’s noses is if what happened with the USS Liberty, when Israel murderously and treacherously attacked the ship during the 1967 ‘Six-Day War’; here is a good video, ‘Dead in the Water’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjOH1XMAwZA
but to understand the attack better, it is advisable (and I highly recommend) to read Peter Hounam’s ‘Operation Cyanide’:
Sorry, what I meant to write was:

Yet another diversion, I’m afraid.
Whether what B
Whether what Barbara writes is true or not, it has nothing to do with the question under discussion, which is: has Israel committed or is it committing genocide?
All these diversions merely show that the Eminences and their hangers-on are unable or unwilling to invalidate the point I made on my original magistereal post.
‘Is Israel Guilty of Genocide in Its Assault on Gaza?’:
http://www.thenation.com/article/israel-guilty-genocide-its-assault-gaza/
The Russell Tribunal on Palestine did not find Israel guilty of Genocide, but of War Crimes.
They also found that Hamas’ rocket fire did not warrant the massive attack by Israel.
And who, by the way, created Hamas, and why?
‘Hamas is a Creation of Mossad’:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/ZER403A.html
It would surprise me if the Mossad was not directing it’s assets within Hamas when to fire rockets.
Surprising thing to say? Not really; remember the Achille Lauro?
‘False Flag Attacks by Abu Nidal Mossad Terrorist’:
http://www.real-debt-elimination.com/real_freedom/Propaganda/false_flag_attacks/abu_nidal_mossad_terrorist.htm
And try: ‘Mossad Black Ops and False Flags’:

That Israel is carrying out a slow genocide is not really the point.
My point was that they are shit scared that the BDS campaign might affect their US backers, in particular. The majority of US citizens just see the myth of the ‘plucky little nation’ portayed by a media which is happy to collude with the notion that Zionism is relatively harmless.
Now that they are able to see the apartheid regime in action in all its genocidal glory, the mood is slowly changing.
I just received this email:
‘..You know you’re winning when they try to stop you. Israel has spent millions trying to shut down global efforts to divest from and sanction companies profiting from the occupation of Palestine. It’s no wonder, in recent weeks big companies Ahava and G4S have announced their withdrawal from illegal settlements.
The campaign to tackle the money propping up the occupation of Palestine may be on the verge of its biggest win yet. Next week the United Nations will vote on banning products produced illegally in West Bank settlements! Prime Minister Cameron has called Israel’s illegal settlements “genuinely shocking”, but insiders say he plans to block the decision.
The government is hoping it can keep this vote under the radar, but together, we can bring it into the spotlight. Join the call for Prime Minister Cameron to vote in favour of the UN ban on settlement products. When 50,000 people sign, we’ll deliver the call before the vote in Geneva next week. Sign now!
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/uk_ban_settlement_goods_control_1/?bYzNoab&v=74147&cl=9678672049
Prime Minister Cameron voting in favour of the ban would be in step with UK policy against settlements, and in compliance with international law. Key Tory party donors support Israel’s settlements, but the Prime Minister needs to rise above such considerations when setting British foreign policy.
Members of the United Nations Human Rights Council are currently negotiating a resolution urging all states to ensure that they prevent products originating in Israeli settlements from entering their markets. If this resolution passes, it will be the first time a United Nations body calls for a global ban on settlements products, making it clear to corporations profiting from human rights abuses that their place in the global market is disappearing.
Some argue that a ban on settlement products could be discriminatory towards Israel, but the opposite is the case. Many Israeli goods and services that aren’t made as a result of or to abuse human rights could still be sold. Products stolen or produced illegally from blood diamonds to rare earth minerals are banned all across the world because they intensify conflict, why treat settlement products differently?
This campaign is not anti-Israel — this is the most potent non-violent strategy to end the ritual violence, ensure peace and achieve freedom for all sides. Israel’s power and wealth dwarfs Palestine, and if it refuses to end its illegal occupation, the world must act to make the cost unbearable.
Sign the petition now to tell Prime Minister Cameron to stop blocking the UN vote to ban settlement products. Sign now:

The Avaaz community helped convince Barclays and G4S to end their complicity in human rights abuses in Palestine. Our campaigning has brought us closer to freedom and peace. If we keep pushing forward and winning, we can put an end to continued military occupation and violence. Together, we’re unstoppable.
With hope and determination,

Yes, BDS is working, and will continue to be a massive thorn in Israel’s side, or rather, in their disinfo campaigns.

“That Israel is carrying out a slow genocide is not really the point.”
____________________
Now that I have demolished your “argument” you suddenly say that an alleged Israeli genocide is “not really the point”.
The point of this exchange has been that I have refuted the often-repeated inaccurate and tendentious claim made on here that Israel has committed or is committing genocide against the Palestinians.
So any post which addresses that notion is the point of this exchange. All other notions – in your case, whether BDS works or not – are not to that point and are therefore diversions.
Gamma double minus – again.
A study conducted by the Israeli NGO ‘No Legal Frontiers’ over a 12 month period concluded that 100% of Palestinian children brought before the military court are convicted:
‘All Guilty! Observations in the Military Juvenile Court 2010-11’:
http://nolegalfrontiers.org/en/reports/77-report-juvenile-court
But I forgive you, as always – you cannot do otherwise and you are either born honest or not.
I suppose that if I had one of my claims as comprehensively demolished as your “Israel is committing genocide” claim was, I too might be tempted to create a little dust-storm of diversions.
*****************
Be careful – I might just decide to demolish your BDS nonsense as well!
Paul Barbara
Another diversion!
Keep thrashing around. 🙂
Well, Paul, as Jonesy said “They don’t like it up ’em”.
Habba can make as many assertions as he likes. We are well used to it.
YOU out there can do something to help stop the slow genocide.
Support the BDS boycott of the apartheid state.
It is obviously working.

Isn’t it amazing that Habba keeps posting!
Does he really think his lies will convince us?
That those who have heard directly from Palestinians and even Americans what goes on, particularly in the West Bank, cannot fail to recognise this as the greatest systematic abuse of human rights in the world.

There are lots of others.
Why don’t you go and find out Habba? I presume you’re in Tel Aviv – not far from you?

Come on, every American who votes agrees with apartheid, land grab and the continual murder of children. Mister Trump’s distinctive appeal is that he didn’t murder Cesar Chavez – CIA did that for Hillary.
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/03/14/murder-chavez-cia-and-dea-cover-their-tracks.html
Mister Trump has never murdered any sitting heads of state.
Hillary compared Sanders to Chavez so I guess CIA’s going to poison him too, if he doesn’t give up. Sanders called Chavez names too so I guess he’s scared of getting killed like Chavez.
So don’t say there’s no difference between the candidates. Mister Trump is the clear choice.
“John Kerry: Isis is committing genocide in Syria and Iraq”
“The US has declared that Islamic State is committing genocide against Christians and other minorities, amid mounting global pressure to recognise atrocities committed in Iraq and Syria as a deliberate drive to wipe out certain religious groups.”
His reasoning:
“US secretary of state John Kerry said that Isis, known in Arabic by its acronym Daesh, was “genocidal by self-proclamation, by ideology and by actions, in what it says, in what believes and in what it does”.
He said: “In my judgment, Daesh is responsible for genocide against groups in areas under its control including Yazidis, Christians and Shia Muslims.””
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/17/john-kerry-isis-genocide-syria-iraq
Shouldn’t have funded, armed and equipped them, Mr Kerry.
Anyway.
I’m sure Mr Kerry, were he to turn his attention south, shall find another US-funded, armed and equipped outfit, “genocidal by self-proclamation, by ideology and by actions, in what it says, in what believes and in what it does”.
Step forward, Israel, Mr Kerry’s bestest friend.
Aidworker1 the macabre genocide denial of the known loser on this thread begs the question;
1- How many deaths are considered a genocide?
2- How many souls incarcerated in camps on daily minimum calorie dietary regimen with limited access to potable water, hospitals, health care, and who are subject to treatment as described in article two of the genocide convention, before it is classed as genocide?
Prof. Charny puts the figure of the dead at ten thousand, and calls it a genocide:
The aggregate deaths of Palestinians and the other Arabs (Muslims)in the area directly and indirectly (Shock and awe based on “a clean break”) far exceed these figures.
Furthermore the nonsense plastered about “intent” is to explain away the inaction of the world powers in the face of an obvious genocide taking place!
Fact is the world powers are not classifying the mass murder of Palestinians as a genocide, not because of “intent” nonsense, but because by doing so, these world will be obliged to act and stop the perpetrators of the genocide as per the convention of genocide!
In other words the genocide is taking place and no one is accepting it is a genocide and the resident hasbara keyboard brigade is busy obfuscating the fact further.

I’m sorry you should think that the concept of intent – central to the 1951 UN Genocide Convention (and indeed to many other bits of both domestic and international legislation)- is nonsensical.
