On Monday night, BBC2 screened a shocking programme about how some Jewish extremists and Israel have been secretly behind the rise of the notorious Fascist Geert Wilders.

The programme was remarkable because it goes behind the superficial Nazi ranting of Wilders to uncover how some Jews are the real organ grinders and Wilders along with his fellow travellers in the EDL and Pamela Geller are simply the Monkeys.

Everyone needs to watch the programme in its entirety to establish how we Muslims have been targeted and set upon by some very powerful Jewish extremists. First Louis Theroux exposes “ultra Zionists” and now this excellent BBC 2 programme, good to see all our collective criticism of BBC’s pro israel bias getting through.

Ironically in Europe, Jews were the oppressed but have now become the oppressors of Muslims. The entire programme is about 1 hour and The Akh urges you to watch it all, however, if you are simply interested in the Israel connection then have a look at the segment from the show above.

Props to LondonMuslim

Meet Captain Israel, he is here to save one people only namely the ‘chosen tribe’.

Captain Israel the ethnic cleanser, murderer, hero for the politically indoctrinated zionists.

With his flaming Menorah torch, he is here to set the entire region on fire.

It has become pretty obvious that that Israelis and Zionists do not try to disguise their morbidity anymore.

Zionism is clearly a threat to humanity and humanism.

Props to Gilad Atzmon for bringing this to The Akh’s attention.

Have a flick through for yourself to see the shameless hasbara/propaganda the zionists brainwash their children with.

“You touch Israel and you are finished.”

No freedom of speech when the racist apartheid state of Israel is concerned, as veteran White House corps and journalist of over 70 years Helen Thomas found out when she criticised Israel.

Monday night was the first time I was willing to get arrested for an action.

Though unfortunately, we didn’t get the chance to finish performing our dance and sharing our message before we got ‘escorted’ out, I felt we accomplished our mission.

As I sat in jail, with the 6 additional activists, for 6 hours Monday night, I had a chance to reflect on why I was willing to risk arrest to disrupt AIPAC’s annual dinner in Oakland.

The Akh would like to know how “El Jefe” went from saying:

“The State of Israel’s hatred towards the Palestinians is such that it would not hesitate to send 1.5 million men, women and children to the crematoriums in which millions of Jews of all ages were killed, the swastika would seem to be the flag of Israel today”

To:

“I don’t think anyone has been slandered more than the Jews. I would say much more than the Muslims. They have been slandered much more than the Muslims because they are blamed and slandered for everything. No one blames the Muslims for anything.”

Fidel to Ahmadinejad: ‘Stop Slandering the Jews’

Have the zionists done what America has failed to do in all these years and turn Fidel Castro?

“I have to say, sir, with all due respect, talking to you is like a physicist talking to someone from the flat earth society, because you have no relationship to reality. The Palestinians don’t exist, they are a fiction, the occupation doesn’t exist, the occupation is a fiction, everything is a fiction, you live inside a fictional world, so how can one have a rational discussion with you? I live in a world that consists of three dimensions, I don’t know what your world is made of”

-Norman Finkelstein

Check out the full version of the debate between Norman Finkelstein and Richard Hellman. President Barack Obama held a series of high-stakes meetings with Israeli and Arab leaders. As negotiations continue today, what can we expect in the future for Israel and Palestinians?

Leading fundamentalist rabbis gather in Israel to defend the publication of a book, Torat Ha’Melech, that attempted to provide halakhic justification for the killing of non-Jews, including innocent children and families.

The gathering exposed not only the ferocious racism of a swath of Israel’s pro-settlement rabbinate, but the powerlessness of the government to stop a bunch of genocidal theocrats.

As soon as it was published late last year, Torat Ha’Melech sparked a national uproar. The controversy began when an Israeli tabloid panned the book’s contents as “230 pages on the laws concerning the killing of non-Jews, a kind of guidebook for anyone who ponders the question of if and when it is permissible to take the life of a non-Jew.”

According to the book’s author, Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, “Non-Jews are “uncompassionate by nature” and should be killed in order to “curb their evil inclinations.” “If we kill a gentile who has has violated one of the seven commandments… there is nothing wrong with the murder,” Shapira insisted. Citing Jewish law as his source (or at least a very selective interpretation of it) he declared: “There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults.”

If you watched BBC’s Panorama this week, you would have witnessed some first class propaganda supplied by Israel’s hasbara squad which was delivered by Jane Corbin and the Panorama team.

For years, we have been seeing and hearing increased bias from the BBC. Whether it be by airing blatant propaganda or by just not showing the truth.

One of the latest shows of propaganda displayed, was in the Panorama documentary, ‘Death in the Med’. As a documentary it was farcical. The murder of 9 innocent activists was made justifiable because of the ‘attacks’, on the poor Israeli soldiers. The fact that Israel committed piracy and was in international waters – where it had no right to be, apart from the fact that the siege which the activists were aiming to break is illegal, was not even mentioned.

The BBC needs to know that it cannot continue presenting lies as the truth.

Needless to say you have already sent in your complaint, if not, do so now, for tips on who and how to address your complaint to, click here.

Join the protest against the propaganda and lies on Sunday 22nd August, at the BBC Television Centre, Hammersmith, London, from 1pm to 6pm.

Come and fulfil your duty by exposing the BBC and holding them to account.

As you can see from the comments section there certainly has been a furore over the BBC’s antics.

What was even more interesting was Ken O’ Keefe’s testimony, which appears below on how Jane Corbin lied over editorial control, and as the video above demonstrates.

I’ve written about Ken before, especially after he put himself in harms way to disarm Israeli commando’s who were killing unarmed civilians onboard the Mavi Maramara. The way Ken handled himself infront of what can only be described as hostile and aggressive questioning by BBC’s Hardtalk was very impressive.

That original post can be viewed here.

If you haven’t seen it, look for BBC Panorama’s “Death in the Med” programme online – you’ll be treated to first class propaganda as only the BBC can deliver.

I am one of the passengers/witnesses interviewed for this programme and I am very much aware of BBC’s role in justifying war and covering up Israeli crimes. I am in no way naive about this. To the contrary, my motivation for the interview lay largely in the all-too-likely opportunity to expose the BBC, a relevant job considering the BBC’s role in the slaughter of over one million Iraqis, a direct role by virtue of the war they justified. The BBC, from start to present, justifying Iraq, a massive war crime and crime against humanity based entirely on lies (propagated intensely by the BBC). The British Broadcasting Corporation, synonymous with millions of orphans and refugees and countless lives destroyed in Iraq, beating the drums of war without pause, the ultimate prostitutes of propaganda.

With this understanding, I solicited an agreement with the BBC producers. In return for my interview, the programme would include the fact that we disarmed, captured and ultimately released three Israeli commandos (after giving them medical attention no less). That was the deal, a deal I made with an audio recorder in service.

And yes, the poor Israeli commandos were beaten, just as any invader in any capable person’s home would be beaten. I take no issue with that fact.

But truth be told, the commandos we captured should thank us for their lives. I ask the Israelis, British and American people specifically: if your home was invaded, your family being murdered, would you be willing to disarm, completely control, and then set a murderer of your family free???

You can lie to yourself if you like, bury that head right down deep in the sand, but that ship was our home, and we were all brothers and sisters, aunties and uncles. United, a family, engaged in a most righteous cause, with the vast majority of the planet behind us. The primary beneficiary of our mission, over 800,000 innocent children.

For those lost in a pit of ignorance and indoctrination, those currently stripped of all reason, absent of conscience, duped and hoodwinked, I know you very well because I was once you, a US Marine robot volunteering to kill or be killed. I see my past self in the Zionist who has no capacity at this moment to think, for in that state it is all about regurgitation. Independent thought is but a possibility. For you, I maintain no hate; for nobody actually, rather it is pity, pity for you that you sacrifice the greatest gift of all, the gift of humanity.

And so it is that the BBC, absent of integrity, contemptuous of humanity, attempts in this programme to turn disarmed, helpless Israeli commandos into heroic self-rescuing commandos who managed to Superman their way out of a circle of well over 100 very motivated men whose brothers lay murdered with multiple gunshot wounds. That is what we call a bald-faced lie. Big-time lie, in-your-face lie, you-in-the-audience-are-a-bunch-of-drooling-idiots lie.

Returning from the Zionist alternate universe, we held in our power the fate of three boy commandos who may well have been murderers on that night. Think about that, under these circumstances, we let them go. That is what we call preserving life.

It is not that BBC does not know the truth, there are literally hundreds of witnesses and overflowing facts to reveal it; it is simply the BBC’s slavish duty to produce a Zionist storyline of illusions and deceptions. And the story goes that we are the aggressors, “terrorists”, “extremists” and killers. Only in this context can the poor Israeli commandos be victims. How is it possible to dominate and control commandos simply to let them go if we are killers? Answer, it isn’t. And that is precisely why Panorama blatantly lied.

Ah but the irony, the kind of irony that always provides me a smile from the inside out, the irony of these lies being big, beautiful gifts. In all sincerity, thank you BBC.

The BBC says there is doubt as to who fired first. To the hundreds of us on the Mavi Marmara and other ships, there is no doubt at all who shot who. The Israelis have said we shot at them. Well, where are their gunshot wounds? And even if you have gunshot wounds, how do we know you did not shoot yourselves? Exactly like you did in “Operation Cast Lead”?

Returning once again from the Zionist alternate universe, the Israeli military attacked in international waters and murdered within the first five minutes of the attack. The attack resulting in scores of gunshot wounds and death in rapid succession, blood spilling all over the ship. In that environment, I took possession of a 9mm pistol that I removed from one of the commandos… and I emptied it of the (real) bullets. Other weapons were seized by other brothers and thrown into the sea, one of which was an assault rifle. Yet when others and myself had the power to end life, and believe me it was as simple as release the safety, point, shoot, over, instead we preserved life, by taking those weapons away from established killers, we prevented them from killing more. We literally saved our lives and their lives. That is what we call cold, hard facts.

We could have taken out at least three of them, but we did not. Nope, we let them go.

The BBC mentions that we were in international waters at the very end of the story, as if this were an insignificant fact. The fact that Israel stole all the footage that it could, footage that undoubtedly shows them firing 4 bullets to the head of the 19-year-old American passenger, Furkan Dogan. No problem. Executing people at close range, no worries. The fact that the blockade itself is illegal, nah, don’t mention that. 800,000+ children in Gaza, malnourished, anaemic, traumatised… not important.
I would need to review this programme many times over to identify every poisoned tactic that the BBC employed in order to do what they do so well: justify murder and war.

Nevertheless, the BBC’s perversion of the truth will elevate the cause of justice immensely, delegitimising itself in such grand fashion was indeed a great big gift.

Hats off to ya, BBC!

I’ve blogged in detail about Zionist hasbara (propaganda), now two Israeli groups have set up training courses in Wikipedia editing with aims to ‘show the other side’ over borders and culture.

Since the earliest days of the worldwide web, the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has seen its rhetorical counterpart fought out on the talkboards and chatrooms of the internet.

The Guardian reports that two Israeli groups seeking to gain the upper hand in the online debate have launched a course in “Zionist editing” for Wikipedia, the online reference site.

Yesha Council, representing the Jewish settler movement, and the rightwing Israel Sheli (My I srael) movement, ran their first workshop this week in Jerusalem, teaching participants how to rewrite and revise some of the most hotly disputed pages of the online reference site.

“We don’t want to change Wikipedia or turn it into a propaganda arm,” says Naftali Bennett, director of the Yesha Council. “We just want to show the other side. People think that Israelis are mean, evil people who only want to hurt Arabs all day.”

Wikipedia is one of the world’s most popular websites, and its 16m entries are open for anyone to edit, rewrite or even erase. The problem, according to Ayelet Shaked of Israel Sheli, is that online, pro-Israeli activists are vastly outnumbered by pro-Palestinian voices. “We don’t want to give this arena to the other side,” she said. “But we are so few and they are so many. People in the US and Europe never hear about Israel’s side, with all the correct arguments and explanations.”

Like others involved with this project, Shaked thinks that her government is “not doing a very good job” of explaining Israel to the world.

And on Wikipedia, they believe that there is much work to do.

Take the page on Israel, for a start: “The map of Israel is portrayed without the Golan heights or Judea and Samaria,” said Bennett, referring to the annexed Syrian territory and the West Bank area occupied by Israel in 1967.

Another point of contention is the reference to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel – a status that is constantly altered on Wikipedia.

Other pages subject to constant re-editing include one titled Goods allowed/banned for import into Gaza – which is now being considered for deletion – and a page on the Palestinian territories.

Then there is the problem of what to call certain neighbourhoods. “Is Ariel a city or a settlement?” asks Shaked of the area currently described by Wikipedia as “an Israeli settlement and a city in the central West Bank.” That question is the subject of several thousand words of heated debate on a Wikipedia discussion thread.

The idea, says Shaked and her colleauges, is not to storm in, cause havoc and get booted out – the Wikipedia editing community is sensitive, consensus-based and it takes time to build trust.

“We learned what not to do: don’t jump into deep waters immediately, don’t be argumentative, realise that there is a semi-democratic community out there, realise how not to get yourself banned,” says Yisrael Medad, one of the course participants, from Shiloh.

Is that Shiloh in the occupied West Bank? “No,” he sighs, patiently. “That’s Shiloh in the Binyamin region across the Green Line, or in territories described as disputed.”

One Jerusalem-based Wikipedia editor, who doesn’t want to be named, said that publicising the initiative might not be such a good idea. “Going public in the past has had a bad effect,” she says. “There is a war going on and unfortunately the way to fight it has to be underground.”

In 2008, members of the hawkish pro-Israel watchdog Camera who secretly planned to edit Wikipedia were banned from the site by administrators.

Meanwhile, Yesha is building an information taskforce to engage with new media, by posting to sites such as Facebook and YouTube, and claims to have 12,000 active members, with up to 100 more signing up each month. “It turns out there is quite a thirst for this activity,” says Bennett. “The Israeli public is frustrated with the way it is portrayed abroad.”

The organisiers of the Wikipedia courses, are already planning a competition to find the “Best Zionist editor”, with a prize of a hot-air balloon trip over Israel.

Critics cite the editing problems as proof of a flawed site that can be edited by almost anybody, but its defenders claim the issues are tiny compared with its scale. Wikipedia now has versions in 271 languages and 379 million users a month.

For the first time in living memory, Israel is losing the propaganda war.

Despite most of the corporate media supporting Israel, Israel could not hide the disgusting murder of 9 human rights activists on the recent Flotilla.

How, you may ask, did this happen?

Well, it was simple. Millions of Muslims used the internet to get the message out to the wider non-Muslim network.

Whether it was Facebook or writing comments on forums and blogs, the real message could not be stopped.

It just shows what you can do if you get politically smart and active.

The extent to which American support for Israel is driven by these violent Christian extremists should not be underestimated. They are a major force in US politics.

The extraordinary thing is that violent religious extremists in both the US and Israel look forward to fighting side by side against the forces of evil (Islam) in the Last Battle in the Middle East, yet extremist Jews and extremist Christians each also believe that at the climax, when the world ends, their cherished allies will go to Hell with their enemies.

It is of course the American Christians who are the most destructive violent religious extremists in the world.

The Christian Broadcasting Networking recently aired a piece whereby they stated that the increasing isolation of Israel reflects biblical prophecy.

Following the murders of nine unarmed civilian peace keepers on board the MV Mavi Marmara by Israeli elite commando’s, the Rabbinical Council of Judea and Samaria issued a statement saying the aftermath seemed to:

“place us at the beginning of the Gog and Magog process where the world is against us, but which ends with the third and final redemption.”

Gog and Magog is a biblical reference found in chapters 38 and 39 of the book of Ezekiel when a coalition of nations attacks the land of Israel.

The current discourse lays the blame solely at Islam and Muslims for being the wide eyed wacko’s – yet the architect’s of the root cause of the problems in the Middle East get a free pass.

Are we allowed to question the extremist Jewish/Zionist Christian axis, or are Muslims and Islam the only ones to be constantly demonised and put into the spotlight as extremists and radicals?

“Even if we provoked friendly nations, commit crimes on their soil, violate local and international laws – Israel could get away with it all because of the Holocaust”

Yossi Melman, Israeli intelligence and military affairs correspondent for Haaretz newspaper.

Radio 4 had a special on The Mossad, have a listen on the iPlayer.

In this special documentary, the BBC’s Security Correspondent Gordon Corera talks to key figures from The Mossad, which was founded after the Arab-Israeli war in 1948. Their testimony is both revealing and intriguing:

“They teach you how to steal and they teach you how to kill and they teach you to do things which normal people don’t do. You follow people against their will, you open their mail against their will, you listen to them against their will. The reputation of The Mossad, no matter how high it is, doesn’t compare to how good it really is.”

The programme includes interviews with a Ephraim Halevy (former head of The Mossad and confidant of Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon) as well as Rafi Eitan (leader of the team which captured the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in the sixties).

Other former Mossad members talk about their recruitment and training as well as covert operations in the Middle East. They insist they follow a strict ethical code but others question whether their methods are in breach of international law.

“Survivors of the Holocaust are entitled to feelings that are irrational, their anguish entitles them to positions that others would categorise as irrational or bigoted.”

The words of one Abe Foxman, head of the ADL and one of America’s leading Islamophobes, announced his opposition to Park51, a new Muslim cultural centre two blocks from Ground Zero in New York.

Foxman attempts to make the serious argument that because someone has endured unspeakable horror this entitles them to be a racist.

But does it?

What possible reasoning can justify such nonsense?

Is morality so relative that it is imperative only for those who have not survived a trauma like 9/11 or the Holocaust?

And if survivors are permitted to be bigots, what level of suffering is required?

And why can’t anyone who has suffered anything at all come along and claim Abe Foxman said it was OK to be a bigot because I suffered as much as people who survived 9/11?

Edward Said – Orientalism
Norman Finkelstein – The Holocaust Industry
David Foster Wallace – A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again
Tom Wolfe – The Right Stuff
Kenneth M. Pollack – The Persian Puzzle
Seth Godin – Permission Marketing
Alistair Cooke – Six Men
Heinrich Harrer – Seven Years in Tibet
Friedrich Nietzsche – Thus Spake Zarathustra
Dennis L. Prince – Get Rich With Twitter
Richard Wolffe – Renegade
Robert Lacey – Inside the Kingdom

Things only Holocaust survivors can get away with but shouldn’t do: Dancing to “I will survive” at Auschwitz.

If anyone of any other religious denomination were to do the same, would they be labelled “anti-semite”, The Akh is just putting it out there.

The Holocaust Industry lives on.

L’arnaque (The Swindle)

“I not cheezburger!” cries the Caturday star, as he is projected into the limelight, a feline endtime sacrifice with added anaesthesia/cuteness.

He is not cheezburger, nor does he really want a cheezburger. It is viewers who long for the cheezburger, the cuteness, and the lulz. It is viewers who are being swindled (arnaqué(e)s) by hegemony-encoded cat macros that hijack natural altruistic instincts. The swirl of multiple meanings and vulnerability of the featured cat enslave the viewer through a juxtaposed power-seeking guilt discourse.

What Qatzel Ok is saying about
Feline Cuteness Hegemony

The Caturday Dialectic

The Caturday Dialectic has us “frozen in the headlights.”

The Post Caturday Condition (Qatzel Ok, March 2009) explained – in gay postmodern layman’s terms – how this process works. It is totalitarian and irresistible. You don’t need to own a cat to understand Caturday, after all!

Most of my ancestors were holocausted by superpowers. I am the progeny of many survivors. Under every leaf of my family tree, there is a gas chamber and a smiling Nazi patriot. And yet, where are the Caturdays that empower me? Where is my propaganda industry?

Feline Cuteness Hegemony freezes you in its headlights. The audience waits to be hit by the genocidal eighteen-wheeler of hegemony. Relax, and take it easy, for there is nothing that we can’t do (Caturday thinks itself invincible).

Where is that magical entitlement that can put me behind the wheel of that large vehicle?

Blinded by Feline Cuteness Hegemony

We are unable to react rationally or to respond naturally to FCH. We have been enslaved by a hegemonic Caturday industry that offers us memes that short-circuit our (normally) altruistic instincts. These instincts are triggered by symbols that have been whored by commerce for many years to help them concentrate their kitty power. Just look at these cute and helpless abominations in your mediascape – the ones that you build your “reality” around. Aren’t they adorable? Aren’t you adoring them?

Cuteness and “the Beast”

The Caturday aesthetic is a situated product of a hegemonic Western Elite culture and upper middle-class commercial values.

“Zaniness,” “fluffy,” “cute,” and “frivolous” are the operative topoi that create the consumer narrative structure. These situated coping strategies (in a boring, commerce-run society) give Feline Cuteness the legs it needs to kick the common good with.

It is in addressing these images of feline cuteness that the Western consumer beholds the “beauty” to which he must then play “the beast.” Western aggression is a necessary condition for maintaining both cultural and military supremacy over other cultures that do not maintain the same manufactured social prompts. Likewise, the Western Elite depends on these hijacked instinctive responses to build an army to protect their privilege with.

In conclusion, the “beast” that the consumer evolves into while witnessing the pussycat narrative is essential for maintaining Western Elite hegemony all over the world. So, post more cute little kitties!

From the Feline Cuteness Hegemony Mail Room

Here’s an email I received from a recent inductee into the FCH Resistance Movement:

.

I am momentarily returning to the Internet to thank Qatz for making postmodern thought accessible to “the little guy” like myself.

Prior to his paradigm-shattering essay “The Post-Caturday Condition,” I was far too close to the Caturday text. But now, thanks to the vocabulary tools that the Qatz text has given me, I am able to deconstruct this product of Western Hegemony.

I no longer respond to this kitty’s semiotic blackmail. I am finally free.

- Big Evil

.

Why thank you, Big Evil. It’s always nice to hear that these difficult-to-pigeonhole Caturday essays are making a difference in somebody else’s life.

Meow.
