A nation (of people) can exist without having a state - for example the Kurdish people are a nation, despite the fact they have no state, just as the Palestinian people are a nation of people who currently have no formalised state. As writers on the issue of the "nation-state" explain, the "nation-state" is a relatively modern invention, not coming into existence until around the 17th century (with the advent of capitalism). <br /><br />Indeed, many nations, particularly those who suffered the brutality of colonisation did not achieve state hood until the mid 20th century. The Palestinian people, like the Algerians and many of the African peoples, are a colonised people. They have not yet been able to throw of the shackles of Israeli colonisation and still are subject Israel's colonial violence against them. As a result they have not yet achieved state-hood. This, however, makes them no less a nation.<br /><br />(2)In response to Israeli Muse's attempt to channel Golda Meir and the racist claim there was no such thing as Palestinian before 1948, it should be pointed out that is not only a typically racist myth perpetuated by Zionism, it is also factually incorrect. <br /><br />Palestine and Palestinians have existed as a political entities since medieval times. As Israeli scholar Haim Gerber has noted, Palestine as a territory documented as far back as the Mamluk period in the 13th century. It was documented clearly as a political entity by the Ottomans in the later centuries. Palestine was used in Ottoman documents describe the "balad" or "ard" (Arabic for country or land) the Arab residents of the region lived in, revealing that they saw their country as Palestine and that they were Palestinians (see the work of Israeli Professor, Haim Gerber of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem has written extensively on this). <br /><br />(3) Israel's State Terrorism<br />Frantz Fanon notes in his seminal book, The Wretched of the Earth, that there is a difference between the violence of the colonial oppressor and the violence of the oppressed and colonised. He notes that the violence of colonialism is far greater than the violence carried out by those colonised, saying "colonialism is not a thinking machine, nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties. It is violence in its natural state". <br /><br />Israel since its inception has been a colonial oppressor, carrying out political violence and terrorism against the Palestinians via murder, ethnic cleansing etc, etc. One needs just to read the diaries and comments of some of the leaders of the Israeli state to confirm this (see Ben Gurion, Jabotinsky, Began and dozens more). <br /><br />Unfortunately, Israeli Collective Delusion results in Zionists such as Israel Muse being cheerleaders for state terrorism and mass murder on a massive scale.<br /><br />(4) Finally, on a personal note - thank you Israel Muse for your "good luck" wishes, both for my life and afterlife. However, I must point out such exhortations mean little to me, especially given the fact that I am a dialectical materialist and not an "idealist" (as in the sense denoted by Marx and Engels). <br /><br />As a result, I don't believe in intangibles such as "luck" and/or supernatural beings and/or an "afterlife", but I am more than happy to publish your fruitless attempts to try and guilt trip me.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202280513083661037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-2183152363187166992010-09-07T06:42:44.693-07:002010-09-07T06:42:44.693-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Israel Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424961741518145971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-25118245152857697912010-07-06T07:21:34.146-07:002010-07-06T07:21:34.146-07:00Thanks :)Thanks :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202280513083661037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-28591457227401113032010-07-06T07:16:09.695-07:002010-07-06T07:16:09.695-07:00There are many relevant Palestinian leaders who ar...There are many relevant Palestinian leaders who are not selling their people out. These Palestinians are at the forefront of the popular struggle, they are the leaders of the struggles in Bilin, Nilin, Nabi Saleh and countless other Palestinian villages. <br /><br />As Sami Awad wrote earlier this year:<br /><br />When Leaders Lead<br />April 3, 2010<br />by Sami Awad<br />http://samiawad.wordpress.com/2010/04/03/when-leaders-lead/<br /><br />For many years, Palestinians have engaged in nonviolent actions aimed at resisting the Israeli military occupation and its violent and humiliating policies aimed at suppressing the will of the Palestinians in seeking to achieve their legitimate aspirations.<br /><br />Villages and communities have nonviolently protested for several years, and on weekly bases, if not sometimes daily, the stealing of their land in order to build the illegal separation wall or illegal settlements. From Budrus, to Bilien, to Ma’sara, to Gaza we saw and witnessed actions that not only resisted the occupation but also exposed the brutality of the occupation to both the international community and to even Israeli society itself. All these actions were powerful and many protestors were arrested, injured of even became martyrs for Palestine and in the name of nonviolence.<br />Every once in a while a Palestinian leader or official would come to participate in an action, dressed in an expensive suite, stepping out of an air-conditioned Mercedes, with body guards who were hunting with their eyes for the press and cameras in order to do interviews and not for any potential threat to the official. After one or two interviews and as soon as the protestors begin to walk in the procession, we would look back to only see the rear of the Mercedes driving away as fast as it can… For some strange reasons, important meetings with the top political officials are always scheduled at the same time the protests get into action!<br /><br />The lack of involvement by the leadership or this symbolic and limited involvement resulted in a growing gap between the people and those who we elected to lead us. Was there a hidden agenda? What are they afraid of? Did they only come for the cameras? Were they even there to ruin the action? These are questions that were always asked. Who needs leadership that is not ready to put itself on the line when people are suffering? Leaders are meant to lead, to be on the front line, no suits, no VIPs, no bodyguards; to go into the unknown and put everything they have at stake, including their own lives in defending those they represent.<br /><br />Leaders lead and are not the first to retreat. This is what we are now beginning to see. Palestinian Leaders insisting to lead nonviolent protests, taking of their suite jackets and their ties, and ready to tie themselves to olive trees that are going to be uprooted, ready to hold hands with an old Palestinian farmer on one side and a twenty year old international activist with blue hair and demand to walk through an army checkpoint, leaders that are ready to be beaten up and arrested while defending a house that is going to be demolished; leaders that are true leaders, fully committed to nonviolence, not for any political or personal agenda but because they know that this is the way to achieve our dream, even if they end up losing their life.<br /><br />I do not mention names in this article because any leader who reads this will know in which category they fall. And I am here to challenge those who do not see the true value of leadership to reconsider their position, simply put, we no longer want you to hold titles if you are not willing to lead. The people of Palestine have tasted the sweet taste of true leadership that does not only speak great words and slogans (our ears are filled with those) but that are ready to be leading partners in the new and growing movement of popular resistance. Lead as leaders or step aside and let others take charge.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202280513083661037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-57237471791761543082010-07-06T07:15:20.895-07:002010-07-06T07:15:20.895-07:00The Zionists did not accept the division of histor...The Zionists did not accept the division of historic Palestine into two states as specified by the UN partition, as you claim.<br /><br />Instead, Ben Gurion accepted partition as part of a strategic plan which would allow them to expel the Palestinians through war and gain as much of historic Palestine as possible.<br /><br />Ben-Gurion adopted the strategic plan as early as 1938, when he made it clear of his support for the establishment of a Jewish state on parts of Palestine ONLY as an intermediary stage. At the time he wrote: "[I am] satisfied with part of the country, but on the basis of the assumption that after we build up a strong force following the establishment of the state--we will abolish the partition of the country and we will expand to the whole Land of Israel." (Expulsion Of The Palestinians, p. 107, One Palestine Complete, p. 403)<br /><br />Ben Gurion clearly noted in his War Diaries on 03 December 1947 that the Zionists had no intention of abiding by the partition borders drawn up by the UN writing:<br /><br />"Every school child knows that there is no such thing in history as a final arrangement -- not with regard to the regime, not with regard to borders, and not with regard to international agreements." <br /><br />Ben Gurion also specifically refused to announce the parameters of Israel's borders in the Declaration of the State of Israel. <br /><br />When Pinchas Rosen (who became Israel's first chief Justice) argued that the states borders should be included in the Ben Gurion refused. Israeli historian, Tom Segev notes the following exchange between Rozen and Ben Gurion in his book, The First Israelis (which utilises declassified Israeli documents relating to 1948)<br /><br />ROZEN: "There's the question of the borders, and it CANNOT BE IGNORED."<br /><br />BEN-GURION: "Anything is possible. If we decide here that there's to be no mention of borders, then we won't mention them. Nothing is a priori."<br /><br />ROZEN: "It's not a priori, but it is a legal issue."<br /><br />BEN-GURION: "The law is whatever people determine it to be."

UN Resolution 194 (article 11) specifically states:<br /><br />11. Resolves that the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible;<br />**<br />No Palestinian leader has the right to give up the Right of Return.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202280513083661037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-92023435142322224422010-07-02T15:36:49.948-07:002010-07-02T15:36:49.948-07:00Fayad does suggest a different policy. it is a bet...Fayad does suggest a different policy. it is a better one, not just from a Zionist point of view, but also from the a national Palestinian view.<br /><br />IT gives up fictional ideas like the right of return, for realistic achievements like functioning police force and economical infrastructures.

My point...Kim has said most of what I want to say. My point is to differentiate between individuals and political movements. There were many young, socialist Zionists in the Warsaw Ghetto who did want to fight. The problem was their own organisations. Marek Edelman was quite blunt about the wasted time they had spent engaging in kibbutz training in Poland under the Nazis.<br /><br />No organisation is responsible for individuals who collaborate and no doubt if one looks hard enough one will find such people in the Bund and communist party too. But it was the Zionist movement that was a collaborator movement, beginning with its Ha'avara transfer deal with the Nazis in 1933 which broke the worldwide boycott of Nazi Germany.<br /><br />Edelman committed a cardinal sin. He continued to live in the diaspora and refused to immigrate to Israel. In addition he identified, critically, with the Palestinian resistance.<br /><br />I didn't forget to mention the ZZW. Because as you know this was anything but a radical group. It was a revisionist Zionist group which idolised Vladimir Jabotinsky. It worked with right-wing Polish nationalists and was in essence fascist. Even fascists can fight fascists on occasions, though the revisionists were the worst collaborators in general.<br /><br />Marek Edelman was right. Jews in the Polish ghettos were not anything like the Jews of Israel. The former were oppressed, hounded, the butt of racism and eventually over 3 million were murdered. Israeli Jews are arrogant racists and chauvnist red-necks whose favourite chant for a demonstration is 'Death to the Arabs'.<br /><br />Of course there are a handful of principled anti-racist Israeli Jews who put their necks on the line. The Anat Kamm and Blaus. Amira Hass and the Who Profits from Occupation and Anarchists Against the wall Group. <br /><br />They are indeed brave individuals who, like Ilan Pappe, bravely stood up to the vitriol and death threats that that secular Arab woman MK Haneen Zoabi has had to experience as a result of going on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla.<br /><br />What is sad is that Erez Raviv doesn't appreciate that the key lesson to be learnt from the holocaust is that racism, wherever it may be found, is wrong and to be fought.<br /><br />How can he justify selling land only to Jews, to operating a system of social segregation in every area of israeli society, refusing to allow Palesinians to return to israel after 2 years abroad if they are residents of Jerusalem but allowing me to 'return'? Or the deliberate destruction of olive trees by settlers and their vicious thuggery which goes unpunished by the Israeli army which arrests the victims instead.<br /><br />When the Mavi Marmara was attacked and at least 9 killed, the Israeli military shot the eye out of a 21 year old American Jewish student Emily Henochowicz in Qualandiyaa wh was protesting about a check-point. <br /><br />This is your 'Jewish' state, a state which is increasingly modelling itself on fascist ideas whilst 'leftist' socialist zionist idiots try to find excuses for its behaviour.Tony Greensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300640929161205370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-36224520065520976592010-05-30T10:34:15.130-07:002010-05-30T10:34:15.130-07:00Thanks Mark for the post!

It’s always nice to have a visit from one of Israel’s “hasbara warriors” – although I must say that my feelings are a tad hurt that you didn’t take the time to post something original on my blog.<br /><br />Instead you posted the same little nugget of racist hasbara that you’ve been posting since Oct 2009 (at least) on other blogs/websites. Shame on you!<br /><br />Even we activists like to feel “special” every now & again, so posting the same ol’ recycled guff, makes us feel like you really don’t love us at all!<br />Despite the fact you haven’t been able to come with anything original in over 8 months, I will address some of the issue you have raised. <br /><br />(1)There’s nothing illegitimate about Goldstone and co – all experts in international law and reconciliation of conflict - signing onto the AI letter. The letter calls for investigation into ALLEGATIONS of serious violations of laws of war by both the Israeli military and the Palestinian resistance. There’s also nothing wrong with saying Gaza shocked them to their core: Gaza was shocking - the death of more than 1400 people, including 300 children & the mass destruction of the region - even if Israel wasn’t guilty of any war crimes.<br /><br />(2)Regarding Navi Pillay, your accusation is a fabrication. Pillay repeatedly called for an independent, credible & transparent committee, which abided by international standards of due process to investigate allegations of breaches of international humanitarian law by both Israel & the Palestinian resistance. Pillay didn’t say as you claim that “if Goldstone does not find evidences of Israel’s war crimes, we will send those who will” (this is your statement, not a quote). If I am wrong, please provide the exact quote, with the source you obtained it from.<br /><br />(3)Your accusation regarding Goldstone’s investigation being under tight Hamas control is laughable ( yes, I did burst out laughing when I read it). Really, really sorry, but I do think it’s only fair to inform you that no-one who is capable of critical thinking is going to take YOUR word for it that there are credible “sources” to back up your accusations, if you can’t actually provide evidence that these supposed sources actually exist and therefore are in fact capable of being "credible".<br /><br />(4)As for the human shield issue, the Goldstone report outlined in detail the Israeli military’s use of Palestinian civilians as human shields (AI & HRW have basically backed up these findings). In addition, numerous Israeli soldiers have corroborated Goldstone’s finding, stating that the Israeli military used human shields.<br /><br />(5) As for you accusation about Pillay being of supposedly “notorious pro-islamofascist orientation”, the fact that you used the phrase “islamofascist” indicates you are driven by racist bigotry and Islamophobia, so it’s impossible to take your accusation seriously. However, if you can provide evidence to back up your racist slur, feel free to do so. <br /><br />(6)When hasbara warriors, like yourself, agree to Israel’s political & military leaders being seriously investigate (for the murder of more than 1000 innocent s, incl. 300 children), then perhaps we’ll take your call for the UNHRC to be investigated seriously. Until, then your call is simply an attempt to deflect attention from the war crimes committed by Israel.<br /><br />(7)It’s laughable and not a little sick (but then again Zionism is a sickening, racist colonist ideology) that you call for Navi Pillay & Goldstone be put on trail and given the death penalty, when it’s Israeli politicians & military leaders who’ve actually engaged in the mass murder of 1400 people.<br /><br />Finally, Mark, goodluck with your hasbara efforts - you will certainly need it. No amount of hasbara will change the fact that Israel is continuing to carry out state terrorism, war crimes and occupation & apartheid.<br /><br />As Malcolm X once said "The Truth is on the side of the Oppressed".Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202280513083661037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-68472512067459961342010-05-29T19:21:58.410-07:002010-05-29T19:21:58.410-07:00Goldstone’s Report
First of all, the report was p...Goldstone’s Report<br /><br />First of all, the report was pre-fabricated by UNHRC and Goldstone team: Goldstone, Hina Jilani and Desmond Travers signed a March 2009 letter initiated by Amnesty International , stating that “events in Gaza have shocked us to the core.” Similarly, in a letter to the Times (UK), member Christine Chinkin expressed her predetermined conclusion that “Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is not self-defence – it’s a war crime”. Moreover, before the Goldstone team started working, UNHRC Chair Navi Pillay said, that if Goldstone does not find evidences of Israel’s war crimes, we will send those who will. Secondly, no doubt that Goldstone’s investigation was under Hamas close supervision and tight control. There are mounting evidences from credible sources that must be anonymous due to death threat from Hamas as they are living in Gaza. No doubt that Richard Goldstone and his team perfectly understood the situation, but decided to go on with fake and Hamas-staged and controlled investigation. His report contradicts to previous complaints from Gaza residents on Hamas using civilians as human shield and civilian infrastructure for military purposes reported by Italian and other newspapers and UN officials. The report was pre-fabricated by UNHRC staff, including UNHRC Chair Navi Pillay, who are notorious pro-islamofascist orientation. This report is pre-meditated crime and these people must be treated as criminals. Such prefabricated approach makes all previous report questionable and it is very possible that innocent people have been wrongfully punished. An investigation on every team member, including UNHRC Chair Navi Pillay, is urgent.<br /><br />Obviously, UNHRC Chair Navi Pillay, Goldstone and his team are pathological liars and islamofascist prostitutes. Due to the severity of crime they committed, they must be put on trial and deserve a death penalty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-12062925429735450582010-05-08T05:45:13.816-07:002010-05-08T05:45:13.816-07:00Hi, thanks for sharing your stories with us.

Then there would be no bloodshed, no casualties. It is very simple. A shame you dont understand that shooting at Israeli civilians is wrong. <br /><br />Hamas (your democraticly selected party) is shooting rockets on israeli towns, unprovoked. And an Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, is held in Gaza, against all international laws, without visits, without calls, without TV, without contact with his family and without 3 meals a day...<br /><br />All you people needed to do, as Israel is no longer occupiying any part of Gaza, and has no dispute with you and never did, was to stop your stupid leadership from firing on innocent people. Then you wouldnt have to see all these tragic stupid pictures.noamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657634941124587312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-37504485379797438572010-01-20T14:55:28.407-08:002010-01-20T14:55:28.407-08:00Bravo Kim!Bravo Kim!sarasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00913726428765054860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623316088497384976.post-78500606018272260972010-01-07T14:58:43.616-08:002010-01-07T14:58:43.616-08:00Thanks again Kim for all your 'real' news ...Thanks again Kim for all your 'real' news as opposed to the mainstream media's lies & propaganda.
