The sudden end of the so-called “liberation” of Iraq seems to be inconvenient to many people. To those who miss the amusing announcements of Iraqi Information Minister al-Sahaf, and to those who used the world's undivided attention towards Iraq as a cover for all kinds of crimes that were committed during that period, the end of the war was an unpleasant surprise. Israelis have been killing everyone who stood in their way; not only Palestinians but even international peace activists. Killing the innocent has been “globalized” and Palestinian lands are now flooded with an international blood cocktail.
April 13, 2003 , British citizen Tom Hurndall, 21, of London, was shot in the head while rescuing Palestinian children from Israeli gunfire in Rafah, Gaza . He currently lies in a coma.
April 5, 2003 , American citizen Brian Avery, 24, of New Mexico , was shot in the face by a burst of Israeli machine gun fire in Jenin.
March 16, 2003 , American citizen Rachel Corrie, 23, of Olympia , Washington , was run over by an Israeli bulldozer attempting to demolish a Palestinian home in Rafah, Gaza .
November 23, 2002 , Irish citizen Caoimhe Butterly, 23, was shot in the leg while trying to stop Israeli soldiers from shooting at Palestinian school children in Jenin.
International peace activists now join 1,900 Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers since September 2000, mostly unmentioned in the Zionist-controlled global media, which has deviously used the so-called “War on Terrorism” to cover for such brutal acts or to justify them as part of that war.
| Israel has a long record of assault on the US. |
Not a single American or British Media tycoon honored those names. None of the American or British media outlets that gush on about how the “free world” should mercilessly fight those who threaten “freedom,” “democracy,” “security” or the “civilization” of the West. But why would they? Those activists were on the side of the “barbarians,” the “terrorists.” Both the US and the UK , so high on “human rights,” took no real action upon the deaths of their own citizens.
But should it surprise anyone when it's not the first incident in the history of American-Israeli relations where America turns a blind eye to Israeli violations, even when the victims are American citizens? Should it astonish anyone when history still keeps the records of how British governments ignored the acts of Zionist mobs in Palestine against the British occupation forces who were paving the way for Zionists to their “Promised Land”?
Israel has a long record of assault on its biggest ally in the world. This history goes back to 1954, when the Israeli government plotted to blow up American installations in Cairo and Alexandria and blame it on Egyptian nationals. By chance the plot failed and was uncovered. It was named the “Lavon” Affair after the man who supposedly set it up, “Pinhas Lavon,” the Israeli Defense Chief.
In 1967, Israel purposefully attacked, with unmarked jet fighters and torpedo boats, the USS Liberty, an American Navy vessel of the Sinai Peninsula . The attack killed 31 American servicemen and wounded over 170. They sought to sink the ship, kill those aboard and blame it on the Egyptians to further sour Egyptian-American relations.
The answer to this paradoxical irony is the immoral pragmatism of the US and UK policies that are being narrowed everyday to fit the interests of a rotten political minority in power.
