Netanyahu: The Bombings Will Continue Until Calm Is Restored

One can't make this up. Well, one can, if one was the Onion, which alas has permanently missed its IPO window in a world in which reality is now the very definition of absurd.

AFP: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu says his country's campaign of strikes in #Gaza will go on until calm is restored to Israel

In case you missed it:

“Concentrate” and “exterminate”: Israel parliament deputy speaker’s Gaza genocide plan

Moshe Feiglin, the deputy speaker of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, has published a plan for the total destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

His detailed plan, which calls for the use of concentration camps, amounts to direct and public incitement to genocide – a punishable crime under the Genocide Convention.

In a 1 August posting on his Facebook page, Feiglin, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party, calls for the “conquest of the entire Gaza Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters.”

“This is our country – our country exclusively,” he writes, “including Gaza.”

Feiglin’s posting is the text of a letter he addressed to Netanyahu.

NOTE: CLEARLY THE TIMES OF ISRAEL ARTICLE CALLING FOR "GENOCIDE" WAS NOT JUST A LONE NUT. IT'S POLICY.

[Frostfan1]

I'll give you a plus and a minus.

The minus because you're sophmoric is you stated last week that the Times of Israel has a larger circulation than the New York Times and the USA Today was a "fact".  Treating a nothing like the times of Israel as greater than the NY Times or USA Today is idiotic.

The plus is I thought you'd like a guy like this:

 "On foreign policy, Feiglin is a firm believer in self-reliance, advocating that Israel take care of its security problems alone and not accept foreign aid from the US.^[20]"

[Duffy]

Yet Another War of Deceit

[alien-IQ]

1) "you stated last week that the Times of Israel has a larger circulation than the New York Times" : No, that was not me.

2) Learn to fucking write.

[Frostfan1]

You backed him up and called it a "fact".

He wrote it.  He was lazy with no thought into writing it but he wrote it.  You then called it a fact.

[Al Huxley]

The '2 million readers' is straight from Times of Israel.  I didn't make it up.  Or are you saying the Israelis are capable of lying when it suits their purpose?

And the NYT and USA Today subscription numbers are readily available.  I have access to this great tool - it's called 'Google'...

[Frostfan1]

There you go Alien and Al.  Still insisting that Times of Israel has greater circulation than USA Today and NY Times.

"The Bombings Will Continue Until Calm Is Restored"

Bomb until all are dead. Calm will never be restored otherwise. This will be an extermination.

[jay28elle]

This may, indeed, mean the extermination of Hamas and all supporters of Hamas.  Hamas has demonstrated time and time again (word and actions) they will never stop attacking the innocent women and children in Israel, and left to their own devices Hamas will continue doing so.

Absent Hamas, Gaza is calm.  At least until the next terrorist organization decides to take the offensive on killing the innocent women and children of Israel.

The people of Palestine need to make a decision - stop allowing Hamas to use their women and children as human sheilds and stop supporting Hamas, or expect continued IDF attacks on known Hamas holdouts and locations.

[alien-IQ]

For every 1 dead civilian, you create 5 new resistance fighters. You cannot win this.

This assault on Gaza has done nothing but exponentially increase the size of the resistance against Israeli aggression. Not to mention the hatred of Israelis it has fostered around the world. Israelis are now more than ever, globally recognized pariahs. This has historically been the thing that happens before expulsion. It's happened 109 times so far and number 110 is on deck.

Israel is done.

[alien-IQ]

additionally, the claim of Hamas using human shields has no basis in reality and no proof to back it up other than cartoon sketches that the IDF sends to paid trolls like yourself.

it has been thoroughly debunked as being totally false:

Jeremy Bowen's Gaza notebook: I saw no evidence of Hamas using Palestinians as human shields

The BBC's Middle East editor reports from Gaza.
http://www.newstatesman.com/world-affairs/2014/07/jeremy-bowens-gaza-not...

[Hilroy]

we are told Hamas is making Isreal a dangerous place so we stop our commercial flights to there - then the spokesman gets on TV and says Isreal is a safe place - it's ok to fly.  Very confusing storyline.

[alien-IQ]

It exposes what they truly fear: Boycott.

[roadhazard]

I wish he was serious.

[JPMorgan]

Netanyahu has no interest in peace with Palestine, he will not be satisfied until they are wiped off the map.

[jay28elle]

If Israel were lobbing 1,000's of missle and bombs into Palestine unprevoked, and Israel were building tunnels as Hamas/Palestine has in order to attack innocent Israel women and children, and Israel spoke of wiping Arabs off the map, does anyone in their right mind expect that the Palestinians should just sit and take it without retaliating?

[alien-IQ]

"If Israel were lobbing 1,000's of missle and bombs into Palestine unprevoked"

THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING YOU MOTHERFUCKING DOLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND LEARN TO FUCKING SPELL!!!

[jay28elle]

Seriously? You are trying to get people to think that Israel was not provoked by Hamas?

http://electronicintifada.net/content/netanyahu-government-knew-teens-we...

~~~

The sequence of events leading up to the current slaughter is clear, though Israel’s friends pretend that it all started when the first homemade rocket landed inside Israel, justifying any subsequent steps necessary for “defense.” But the Israel-Palestine problem truly began in 1948, when armed Jews deliberately terrorized and then drove more than 700,000 Palestinians from their homes. It was exacerbated when in 1967 the military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza began, leading to the creation and expansion of illegal settlements on Arab land.

The current cycle of violence, rooted in the denial of viable statehood for the Palestinian people, began in April when Israel deliberately torpedoed US brokered peace talks by accelerating settlement building and failing to comply with an agreement to release prisoners. On May 15 ^th Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinian teenagers, an event that was videoed. They were among the 26 Palestinians killed by Israelis since January, with no one being held accountable. Four weeks later three Israeli teenagers from Hebron were kidnapped and later discovered dead. Netanyahu, who knew that the three young men were already dead and that the abduction had not been carried out by Hamas cynically used the kidnapping as a pretext to attack Hamas on the West Bank, blaming the group for the crime without producing one shred of evidence. An Arab teenager was subsequently burned to death by Jewish extremists and the boy’s American citizen cousin was badly beaten by police when he joined a demonstration.

[RadioactiveRant]

You don't think the illegal occupation of land, and creation of large ghettos through the blockade are provocation?

[Hilroy]

http://mondoweiss.net/2014/07/netanyahu-palestinian-state.html

[jay28elle]

Netanyahu has no interest anymore in peace with Hamas, and rightfully so.  But not for lack of trying.

Isreael has proven they are tolerant and welcoming of all peoples, regardless of their religion, race, sexual orientation, heritage, etc., and is the only country in the region that can boast about that.  Additionally, it is the only true free country for women and gays, for freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

The people of Palestine are harboring a very hideous terrorist organization, Hamas, that needs to be exterminated. If the people of Palestine truely were peaceful and loving people they would reject Hamas.

It's all very plain and simple.

[alien-IQ]

That is 100% provably false. Here he is, caught on tape saying so:

Netanyahu boasting about Manipulating America and derailing Oslo peace process

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TG0vdzrmt4

[jay28elle]

So my comments stand.

Israel has demonstrated it tolerates and welcomes people and freedoms that in the vast majority of other nations in the region would be cause for quick death. Isreal respects the lives of Jews and non-Jews alike.

Israel has demonstrated it is not interested in attacking any other peoples or nations, and has shown great restraint; more restraint than likely any other peoples or nations. 

But Israel has also demonstrated that it will protect itself against any terrorist organization that repeated tries to kill their innocent women and children, that lies to the international community about cease fires, etc. in hopes of killing additional innocent women and children.

[Aussiekiwi]

'Israel has demonstrated it is not interested in attacking any other peoples or nations'

Doing a great job of fooling the world with this one.

[Aussiekiwi]

'But Israel has also demonstrated that it will protect itself against any terrorist organization that repeated tries to kill their innocent women and children, that lies to the international community about cease fires, etc. in hopes of killing additional innocent women and children.'

Going to be difficult to explain the bombing of UN safe havens over and over full of children that had notified their location 17 times to Israel. Israel does not need to try any harder to kill woman and children it appears to have perfected it.

[Duffy]

[Fix It Again Timmy]

C'mon World - wake the hell up and at least acknowledge the crimes against humanity and the vicious war crimes that Israel is committing against the Palstinians!

“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” - David Ben-Gurion, a.k.a. David Grün (1886-1973), Israeli Prime Minister (1948-53, 1955-63) revered by Israelis as "Father of the Nation"

Israel is a plague against humanity...

To anyone with expertise on artillery / rocket ordinance and resulting explosions. 

Check out http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews-live/files/2014/07/rocket... . 

Is this photo actually showing a rocket attack? 

The impact area is literally white hot, concentrated, and lacks the diffuse emission of large volumes of fine debris as you would expect to see in an explosion from a bomb delivered by a rocket. 
Instead, the target area seems to look more like what you would see from a welding instrument. 

So, could this be a version of one of those directed energy weapons similar as described here

WE are 100% complicit in this atrocity:

“The new Snowden documents illustrate a crucial fact: Israeli aggression would be impossible without the constant, lavish support and protection of the US government, which is anything but a neutral, peace-brokering party in these attacks. And the relationship between the NSA and its partners on the one hand, and the Israeli spying agency on the other, is at the center of that enabling,” Greenwald writes.

“The incursion and bombardment of Gaza is not about destroying Hamas. It is not about stopping rocket fire into Israel. It is not about achieving peace. The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, to use lethal weapons of the modern battle field on a largely defenseless civilian population is the final phase in the decades long campaign to ethnically cleanse Palestinians.” – Chris Hedges

No. You must remember, in the eyes of those fucking savages, we're ALL Palestinian and the entire world outside of Israel is just another remote Gaza with a population Israel intends to wipe out.

They have been kicked out of 109 countries since 250AD...with good reason! What you are seeing now is the reason why they are incapable of living among any other race.

Masada: The Collective Mental Insanity of Israel

Israel has a mental illness, call it the Masada Complex.  The State of Israel is mentally ill, the nation is built upon bad myths and on bad ideas, ideas that are so delusional they are mentally ill ideas.  Israel exists in a self caused existential crisis, a national Masada Complex is a dangerous paranoid delusion on the those that control the state, organizing the nation around mass suicide as a national goal.

What is the link between the insane Samson Option of modern Israel and Masada?  Both are Jewish extremist collective suicide pacts, Israel will blow up the world when it goes down. This extremely paranoid philosophy illustrates the insane Jewish victimhood mentality, the Jews have never owned their actions, and before they are forced into admitting that they had something to do with all those pogroms, they are going to go crazy on the world with the Samson Option.

Masada as taught to every Israeli kid is a socialization myth, how it is taught is not how it went down, it is part of the collectivism of the individual in Israel, where every child is taught extreme xenophobia as official state propaganda.  Masada is more than some history lesson, it is the collective mental insanity of Israel where the highest ideal is mass suicide.

[Aussiekiwi]

Since Putin has been held responsible by Obama for the fact that the rocket that shot down malaysia airlines and killed 300 odd people is Putins fault because the rocket was from Russia, then Considering the US supplies Billions of dollars to Israel, money spent on weapons that have killed thousands of Palestinians, using the same logic that means Obama is responsible for the deaths, he supplied the weapons, always knew that US logic was going to backfire on the administration, took less than a month,lol.

Daniel Barenboim to lead West-Eastern Divan in 2014 summer workshop, Buenos Aires residency and European tour

Daniel Barenboim leads the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra as its musicians come together this August for their annual workshop & summer concerts: a residency at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, a tour to major music festivals in Europe, Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde in concert (Act II and Liebestod), and the world premiere performances of two new works by Syrian-born composer Kareem Roustom and Israeli composer Ayal Adler.

Founded in 1999 by Barenboim and his friend, the Palestinian author/scholar Edward Said, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra is comprised of musicians from Palestine, Israel, and other Arab countries - as well as musicians from Spain and Germany. In joining together to perform, the orchestra reaffirms its commitment to promote mutual understanding, non-violence, and reconciliation through music.

http://www.danielbarenboim.com/news/news/article/daniel-barenboim-to-lead-west-eastern-divan-in-2014-summer-workshop-buenos-aires-residency-and-euro.html

For her much-anticipated return to her home town Buenos Aires in August, and more precisely, her comeback on the stage of the legendary Teatro Colón, Martha Argerich will perform not one, but three concerts with her chum Daniel Barenboim. The first concert will feature Beethoven's first piano concerto, while the second concert will feature both pianists as..... well, pianists. A four-hand piano programme is on the menu, with works by Mozart, Schubert and Stravinsky. For the last concert, the Argentinian comedy-musical group 'Les Luthiers' will join the pianists for a performance of works by Stravinsky and Saint-Saëns.

Deutsche Welle: Go ahead!

Question 1: What would you do if your neighbor across the street sits down on the balcony, puts his little boy on his lap and starts shooting machine gun fire into your nursery?

Question 2: What would you do if your neighbor across the street digs a tunnel from his nursery to your nursery in order to blow up your home or in order to kidnap your family?
