germanwarshipIsrael has asked Germany to finance and construct new warships for its navy, apparently Palestinian fishermen are a real threat to their already impressive naval forces. Israel wants blood money from Germany, and it wants it in the form of weapons, it couldn’t be more surreal if Israel asked Germany for gas chambers.

Naturally German ship builders and the politicians they vote for are as enthusiastic as Israel is about the financing as it would mean some much needed stimulus during the slow economy we’re in.

This wouldn’t be the first time either as Germany has also previously Given Israel submarines costing tax payers 566 million euros and in 2012 Germany will spend another 333 million euros to give Israel more submarines.

Some may point out that this isn’t the first time people have been willing to support a terrorist state for war profiteering nor will it be the last, however the circumstances in which this is happening carries a message with it of how some people have not learned anything from World War 2.

I know many people will argue this is not explicitly holocaust repartitions, however can Israel guilt trip China into giving it free warships? No? Case closed.

Sources within the German government told the paper that Israel wants the Berlin to finance the MEKO corvettes, a sum that would reportedly reach hundreds of millions of euros.

The paper reported that the government has not yet reacted to Israel’s request. But “influential politicians from northern Germany,” where the shipbuilding industry is suffering from the global economic downturn, are apparently supportive in the interest of keeping German shipyards in business.

The shipbuilding contract would go to Hamburg company Blohm + Voss, the paper said.

A two minute drive to school has become a trek through uneven terrain for Palestinian children after the IDF went another step in instigating Israeli brand apartheid by preventing Palestinians from using roads built on Palestinian land simply based on their ethnicity. The roads which were once used by thousands of Palestinians have been closed to them and now only ’settlers’ who number in the hundreds are allowed onto them.

Video was taken from B’Tselem, the subtitles were added by BotlBrush.

The Celcom ad which sparked controversy, an ad which attempted to show that the Israeli border police have a human element to them was put to the test by some Palestinians from the village of Bil’in

You always see Palestinian children throwing rocks at the IDF or border police but you seldom see Israeli children throwing rocks at Palestinian civilians despite the fact that they do and they do so often. The following video shows this as an IDF soldier attempts to uphold Israeli law by preventing a human rights worker from recording the events unfolding.

During the early days of the Gaza massacre the IDF released a video of them bombing people they claimed was Hamas loading up a truck with rockets. The video went on to become their most popular on YouTube and one which they touted to be based on, in their own words, ‘good intelligence’ and we were meant to take this as an example of the meticulousness and high level of standards the IDF uses when carrying out military operations to minimize civilian casualties. Basically they sold this video as an example of their success.

Unfortunately their greatest success on YouTube is little more than yet another demonstration of them bombing civilians, B’Tselem broke the story and the IDF later sheepishly agreed there could have been a mistake. Of course when they were claiming it was Hamas they had killed everyone had to know but when it came to apologizing they were much more quiet about it, in fact their video is still the most popular on YouTube with no apology or even hint the people shown were actually civilians who died.

In a way the IDF YouTube page is a reflection of Israeli media, with all facts censored leaving nothing but positive news for teary eyed nationalist Israelis to savor, they’re filled with feelings of racial superiority, delusions of grandeur and trust in a military which has time and time again proven to be anything but trustworthy.

Sanity as far as Obama should be concerned is giving Israel a beating, unfortunately it seems Israel is not quite ready to let go of the US and has started pulling harder than ever to maintain the relationship which benefits its fascist racist government which disguises itself as a democracy.

This however is insanity: Charles Freeman, one of the few people who have sane policies about the world and in particular US/Israel relations was slandered and attacked by Israeli interest groups headed by a man who is currently awaiting trial for espionage on the US for Israel.

Israel is a tragic comedy of a ‘free country’, it has all the hallmarks of one but hell bent on not actually being one. The Associated Press had exposed Israeli censorship laws back in 2006 and has also promised to follow them,

JERUSALEM Here’s some news you may never hear about Israel’s war against Hezbollah: a missile falls into the sea, a strategic military installation is hit, a Cabinet minister plans to visit the front lines.

All these topics are subject to review by Israel’s chief military censor, who has — in her own words — “extraordinary power.” She can silence a broadcaster, block information and put journalists in jail.

“I can, for example, publish an order that no material can be published. I can close a newspaper or shut down a station. I can do almost anything,” Col. Sima Vaknin said Wednesday.

The Associated Press has agreed, like other organizations, to abide by the rules of the censor, which is a condition for receiving permission to operate as a media organization in Israel.

An Israeli censor was upset with the IDF once for revealing ‘classified (read: censored) information’ about the second Lebanon war,

Vaknin-Gil told the Winograd panel that she would have censored much of the information that was revealed by senior IDF officers, and recommended to IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi that future media briefings be broadcast with a delay of several minutes, so that that the release of classified information can be avoided.

This all begs the question, how much information is kept from us, how much information about the brutality of the IDF is kept in the dark? While the IDF may argue that it does what it does for military reasons a video which was censored by the IDF that was leaked shines a different light on the laws true intentions.

I’m not particularly outraged that the Associated Press or other media organizations are abiding by Israeli censorship laws (they have been since at least 2006 when the article was written) or even that Israel has censorship laws. What makes me outraged is the fact Israel is still parroted around as a Democracy by these very same media outlets, a government with unquestioning support by the media is more dangerous and worse to a countries health than no government at all.

British Muslims are stereotypically seen in a foreigner sense, they come into the country and have the utmost confidence in it and quickly develop an attachment to it, even though they are economically disadvantaged and often times shunned by the rest of society they display more love for the country than its lifelong residents.

Most Muslims – 75 per cent – say they also identify with their religion, according to the poll conducted with the interfaith Coexist Foundation.

Muslims also outscored the general public for their belief in courts, honest elections, financial institutions and the media.

Confidence in the military was the only area where British Muslims scored lower than the general public.

Gallup conducted face to face interviews with more than 500 Muslims over 18 in areas where they made up more than 5 per cent of the population.

That was compared with a telephone poll of 1,000 people aged over 15, weighted to reflect the general population.

It revealed that 82 per cent of Muslim say they are loyal to the UK, although only 36 per cent of the general public would consider Muslims loyal to the country.

Typically these stereotypes by the native populace takes a while to die down but it will eventually when Muslims are just a normal everyday site in the country.
