Watch this Video: Your Tax Money Pays For It.

I dislike it when I feel an intense hatred for anyone, but I have to say, I feel an intense hatred for these people. They are from all over the world, many of them are Americans, British, South Africans and so on. Religious fanatics, racists, plain fascist many of them. That lawyer at the ICJ made the point that these settlements and the people in them need to be removed. 

Most of us detest bullies and that's what they are in the extreme. It's easy when you have the army backing you and you yourself is fully armed and your victim not only unarmed, but unable to arm themselves. The settler can kill and maim with impunity and does. I have some Jewish friends that refuse to accept these animals are even Jewish. They are Zionists, their views and activities are incompatible with Judaism. The US is behind them. The US gives them diplomatic cover and military superiority.  This is not because the US ruling class loves Jews, like their British class colleagues, they are anti-Semitic to the core. Zionism needs anti-Semitism, it cannot survive without it.

European Jews were not drawn to Zionism. As Roger Silverman pointed out in a recent article on this blog:

"Before the holocaust, Zionism had no mass base in the ghettoes. It was little more than an exotic fringe sect – something like the Marcus Garvey “back to Africa” movement in the USA or the Rastafarians in the Caribbean. The rich political and cultural life within the persecuted Jewish communities of Europe flourished in the socialist Bund. Their riposte to the Zionists, just as towards the fascist Black Hundreds, was: We’re going nowhere! This is our home!" 

With the betrayal of European Jews by Stalinism and the murder of millions of them by the Nazi's, the idea of a Jewish state and one in Palestine gained traction. The British supported it as did most western capitalist powers and it is important in all the confusion to recognize that this was a political decision. There was no reliable stable power in this region that could protect western capitalist interests there and the dominant issue was, and is still, oil.

That lawyer presenting the case for the Arab states at the ICJ laid this out brilliantly. The British in particular used European Jews who faced centuries of persecution and violence throughout Europe and who were in a state of desperation after WW2 and the Holocaust, as the solution to the vacuum left by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and as a bulwark against the desires and aspirations of the Arabs in Palestine and throughout the Arab world.

If Israel is guilty so is the UK and in particular the US government as without the US, Zionism could not commit the genocide and violence it does.
