British Jews go to fight jihad for Israel

Posted on by Bob Pitt

osama saeed 2“I’d hate to witness the fallout if a British Muslim was caught fighting for Hizbullah just now. However, the Times carries a report of a British Jew who has gone over to fight for Israel – and the paper actually glorifies it. No questions about killing civilians here, never mind split loyalties.”

Osama Saeed exposes double standards over the Middle East.

See “British volunteers answer army’s call”, Times, 7 August 2006

I recall the Mayor of London making a similar point just over a year ago. “If a young Jewish boy in this country goes and joins the Israeli army, and ends up killing many Palestinians in operations and can come back, that is wholly legitimate”, he was quoted as saying. “But for a young Muslim boy in this country, who might think: I want to defend my Palestinian brothers and sisters and gets involved, he is branded as a terrorist.”

For this the Mayor was denounced by Jon Benjamin, director general of the Board of Deputies, as “a lackey of the Muslim agenda” in Britain. See YNetNews, 19 July 2005

US ‘told Blair to sack Straw after Condi’s Blackburn trip’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Dramatic new evidence that Cabinet rebel Jack Straw was sacked as Foreign Secretary as a result of pressure from George W. Bush has been revealed. Senior sources close to the US Government told The Mail on Sunday that Mr Straw’s outspoken opposition to America’s policies on the Middle East was discussed by White House aides weeks before his shock dismissal by Tony Blair in May. It follows the disclosure that the Bush Administration feared Mr Straw was in the pocket of Muslims in his Blackburn constituency. And it gives further credence to claims that he was fired because of his refusal to back America’s all-out support for Israel.

‘Root out the true enemy’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“America, awake. We are in the early stages of a war between Western civilization and the militant Islamic fanatics who control the Arab world. We have had our second Pearl Harbor on 9/11, and still we sleep. The current Lebanon-Israeli conflict is yet another instance in which radical Islam has displayed its intentions and hatred of world democracies. In the past quarter century, America has been under attack by the Islamic world. Thousands of Americans have died as a result of Muslim hatred directed against the US….

“I am not a Bush supporter, but I applaud his courage and integrity in supporting our Israeli allies during this latest Islamic outrage against Israel. We are engaged in a war with Islam regardless of the reluctance of our leaders and allied leaders to call it as it is. We won World War II by crushing our enemies, not negotiating with them.”

Fascists sideline anti-semitism in favour of Islamophobia

Posted on by Bob Pitt

BNP Islam Out of Britain“The BNP has moved on in recent years, casting off the leg-irons of conspiracy theories and the thinly veiled anti-Semitism which has held this party back for two decades. The real enemies of the British people are home grown Anglo-Saxon Celtic liberal-leftists who seek to … impose multiculturalism on a reluctant indigenous population, and the Crescent Horde – the endless wave of Islamics who are flocking to our shores to bring our island nations into the embrace of their barbaric desert religion.”

BNP news article, 28 July 2006

In an accompanying article, fascist “theoretician” Lee Barnes outlines the BNP’s position in relation to Israel’s war on Lebanon:

“As a Nationalist I can say that I support Israel 100% in their dispute with Hezbollah. In fact, I hope they wipe Hezbollah off the Lebanese map and bomb them until they leave large greasy craters in the cities where their Islamic extremist cantons of terror once stood. The 21st Century is the Islamic Century. Unless we start to resist the threat of Islamic extremism then within 100 years the West will have become Eurabia.”

Hizbullah a threat to the whole world, Dershowitz claims

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“The fight against Hizbullah is a fight against anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, and humanistic values. If Hizbullah terrorism is not stopped in southern Lebanon, it will be coming to a theater, church, or synagogue near you.” Alan Dershowitz explains the crisis in the Middle East.

Christian Science Monitor, 27 July 2006

Well, we can certainly agree that Israel’s assault on Lebanon and the slaughter of innocent civilians is a fight against humanistic values, but I suspect Dershowitz meant to write “anti-humanistic”.

WND explains the Middle East conflict

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“Radical Islamic jihadists seek to destroy Israel. Nothing short of the Jewish state’s annihilation will satisfy them. In fact, even the destruction of Israel is simply a means to an end – a short-term goal, if you will. It is the first step in a long march to global domination. Some secularists in the West look at Islam and dismiss the possibility that it could ever dominate the globe … much of the world believes this evil ideology can be negotiated with. They believe it can be placated. They believe it can be bought off. They believe it can be reasoned with. They even believe that it might be enflamed by legitimate grievances….

“There are no legitimate grievances. Israel did not steal anyone’s land. Israel did not create a refugee crisis. Israel did not oppress the ‘Palestinian people’. All that is nonsense…. The conflict between Islamic radicals and Jews in the Middle East is really very simple. The Islamic radicals want all the Jews dead…. No amount of land concessions will appease the beast. No amount of foreign aid will appease the beast. No amount of revisionist history will appease the beast. Only death and destruction of all infidels will quench the beast’s appetite for blood and power….

“This is the way it has always been – since Muhammad first got his demonic visions in the desert. Ever since then, radical adherents to his message have been on the march – beheading, converting by sword, wiping out entire villages, raping and pillaging.”

It’s a clash of civilisations, former Mossad chief explains

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“This is not a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah over a piece of land on the Israeli-Lebanese border. Rather, it goes deep down to the core of the conflict that exists between Western societies and fundamentalist Islam. As politically incorrect as it might be to say, let’s face it: This is a clash of civilizations. Or, as some euphemize it, a fight between the forces of order and disorder. One side does not accept the idea of coexistence but believes it has been ordained by God Almighty to make the rest of the world Islamic – or to eliminate it. Whenever I say this, it sounds like I’m describing medieval times. Unfortunately, it is the real story.”

Shabtai Shavit, former director general of Mossad, explains Israel’s war against Lebanon.

OutRage! leader backs Israel’s assault on Lebanon

Posted on by Bob Pitt

Brett LockBrett Lock of OutRage! applauds the fact that “… the governments of the US and the UK haven’t been hoodwinked by those pushing the ‘Israel is a Terrorist State’ bullshit. Hezbollah attacked Israel, Israel responded. The Lebanese government admits it’s impotent to deal with Hezbollah, so Israel is. It’s really as simple as that. Those peddling the meme of the day ‘collective punishment’ are only able to do so because they have long internalised their own infantilising of Middle Eastern Muslims.”

Lock’s position is that Israel should not simply punish Hezbollah – “what’s the point of punishing those who never learn” – but should completely destroy it.

‘Apocalyptic Muslim Jew-hatred’

Posted on by Bob Pitt

“There are short-term reasons behind the attacks on Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas. But underlying all the geo-strategy is a solid foundation of fanatical Jew-hatred, dating back to the founding of Islam. There is literally nothing Israel or Jews can do to appease those who seek to annihilate them…. Ultimately, this chronic, annihilationist jihad being waged against Israel by both Hizbollah and Hamas, is driven by orthodox Islamic theology, and eschatology.”
