Criticizing Nuclear Armed Israel and Its Illegal Settlements Must Not be Construed as Antisemitism

The current Likud coalition government of the State of Israel, is headed by Binyamin Netanyahu, a Revisionist Zionist whose ideology is rooted in the former paramilitary activities of the Irgun Zvai Leumi (ETZEL) militia of Ze’ev Jabotinsky which was responsible for the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946 and the massacre at Deir Yassin in 1948.

Netanyahu has continued the so-called official policy of ‘Nuclear Ambiguity’ that conveniently enables the Israeli state to have built and maintained the world’s only undeclared nuclear weapons arsenal that is estimated by American scientists to hold up to a maximum of 400 nuclear warheads – sufficient to destroy the whole of the Middle East and most of Europe.

The State of Israel is one of the only UN member states to refuse to ratify the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) to which all 28 members of the EU are signatories in addition to the United States, China and Russia.  Israel is now estimated to be the 3rd most powerful nuclear state in the world, but the only one that is undeclared and therefore not subject to any report or inspection by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) of the UN.  This raises urgent concerns regarding global security and criticism of its covert nuclear policies that apparently have the support of a lobby-influenced US Congress.

The charge of ‘antisemitism’, raised by the Israeli government and its diplomatic missions, on every available occasion, is an official strategy of obfuscation designed to obtain exemption from international agreements on warfare and civil rights, plus immunity from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague, a court that it refuses to recognise.  Another example of Israel’s intransigence is its government’s refusal to ratify the Chemical and Biological Weapons Conventions to which all EU member states and the US are signatories.   Yet, astonishingly, both the EU and the US continue to be Israel’s primary trading partners apparently oblivious to the danger inherent in allowing the sharing of national security systems with a non-European, foreign state.

·        Surely British national security is more important than bilateral trade with one particular state?

·        Surely criticism of trading with an undeclared nuclear power and its potential for war cannot be termed ‘antiSemitic’?

·        Surely it must be obvious that European/British Jewry have nothing whatsoever to do with violations of the human rights of 5m civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories?

·        Surely it cannot be right to allow lobbyists for a Middle East state with a documented reputation for warmongering and illegal expansion to influence British politics?

Trojan Horses and Color Revolutions: The Role of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)

William Blum William Blum 7 August 2017 Image: Award winning author William Blum This article is a chapter from  Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower  by William Blum published in 2005. How many Americans could identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organization which often does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s. The latter was a remarkable period. Spurred by Watergate – the Church committee of the Senate, the Pike committee of the House, and the Rockefeller Commission, created by the president, were all busy investigating the CIA. Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-th...

CIA Backed Color Revolutions

F. William Engdahl New Eastern Outlook 1 October 2017 Many readers likely never heard the name of the remarkable Serbia-born political operator named  Srđa Popović . Yet he and his organization, CANVAS, have played a lead role in most every CIA-backed Color Revolution since he led the toppling of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic in 2000, at least fifty according to last count. Now he has turned his sights on Hungary and Hungary’s popular and defiant Prime Minister Victor Orban . On September 8, the professional regime-change specialist Srđa Popović came to Budapest and joined with the anti-Orban opposition groups in front of the Hungarian Parliament. It‘s clear that Popović was not in town to promote his Hungarian book on nonviolent regime change but rather to give aid to the anti-Orban parties before Hungarian elections in spring of 2018. Many in Hungary smell the oily hand of Hungarian-born regime-change financier George Soros behind the Popović appe...

EDITORIAL: Privatisation: The Root of Fascism And Theft

Ne News 26 February 2017 Around the world, governments are privatising public services, ranging from power to water, from telecommunications to transport, and from roads to banks. Some so-called 'libertarians' and some in the alternative media are openly calling for mass privatisation, claiming that private enterprises can run everything more efficiently than governments and to save money. But what should be noted is that privatisation is nothing short of theft, with governments conspiring with private multinationals to steal from taxpayers assets that taxpayers own. This has happened in Australia with the selling off of QANTAS, Commonwealth Bank, Telstra and most recently Medibank Private. The far-right wing thinktank the Institute of Public Affairs is calling for more privatisation, including the ABC, SBS (the two public broadcasters in Australia), Australia Post and the Australian Institute of Sport among others (https://ipa.org.au/publications/2080/be-like-gough-75-r...
