The blood on Putin's hands... IAN BIRRELL on the ramifications of the shooting down of flight MH17

Meanwhile the Russian bear, still pretending to be an innocent party despite blood dripping from its paws, has begun stealthily rebuilding its forces on the border.
Not only will those 295 people flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur be victims of a civil war that could not have had less to do with them. But they would have been slaughtered by forces armed, funded, guided and possibly trained by Russia.

It was used first to justify Moscow’s illegal seizure of Crimea, then to stir up open warfare in its weary neighboring state just as it stood on the threshold of finally shaking off the legacy of its Soviet past.
Alexander Borodai, pro-Russian separatist leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic in Eastern Ukraine, said his forces did not have the means to destroy an airliner flying at an altitude of 33,000ft.
Instead, one interior ministry official in Kiev said the aircraft was hit by a rocket fired from a Buk launcher.
It was also reported that a second rebel leader bragged on social media about destroying another plane. Already this week, a Ukrainian military transporter has been downed with a missile, possibly fired from the Russian side of the Ukrainian border, along with two SU-25 fighter jets.
In recent days, Ukrainian officials have blamed Russia for assaults on their troops, alleging that the air force jet downed on Wednesday was hit by a missile fired from a Russian military aircraft.
Kiev has also accused Russian staff officers of openly taking part in military operations against their forces, while Nato said earlier this week that Moscow had boosted its forces on the border to about 12,000 troops.
General Philip Breedlove, Nato’s supreme allied commander in Europe, believes Moscow has been supplying the pro-Russian rebels with anti-aircraft weapons, and teaching them how to operate them in training sessions near the border.
All these events underline the tensions as Ukraine under its new president, Petro Poroshenko – an oligarch nicknamed the ‘Chocolate King’ after making a fortune from confectionery – seeks to quell a Russian-inspired insurgency that began four months ago.
Before yesterday’s crash, the United Nations said the conflict has caused more than 400 deaths and displaced tens of thousands of families.

The U.S. imposed sanctions on oil, gas and financial firms linked to Putin, along with eight arms manufacturers including the maker of Kalashnikov assault rifles (file picture)Yet even while Putin spluttered with outrage in response, several of the targets of those sanctions responded by crowing that it was business as usual.
The big question is what happens if it is proved Putin’s friends in eastern Ukraine have shot down a civilian passenger jet filled with families, holiday makers and business travellers?
Will the West finally respond with the ruthless decisiveness required to put a power-crazy president back in his box, or will they continue to allow him to sow death and destruction as he acts out his Tsarist fantasies of restoring Russian hegemony over swathes of eastern Europe?

Full Tet of Colin Powell speech to UN
On Feb. 5, 2003, then-Secretary of State General Colin Powell addressed the United Nations Security Council.
His message was clear: Iraq possessed extremely dangerous weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein was systematically trying to deceive U.N. inspectors by hiding prohibited weapons.
A decade later, ... Col. Lawrence Wilkerson — who prepared the U.N. speech, only to later renounce it

Lie After Lie After Lie
ReplyDeleteAs much criticism as Powell has gotten for this -- he calls it "painful" and says, "I get mad when bloggers accuse me of lying" -- it hasn't been close to what he deserves. That's because there's no question that Powell was consciously lying: he fabricated "evidence" and ignored repeated warnings that what he was saying was false.
We know this because of some good reporting and what's seeped into the public record via one of the congressional investigations of pre-war Iraq intelligence. The record is still incomplete, because Congress never bothered to look at how Powell used the intelligence he received, and the corporate media has never taken a close look at what happened. But with what's available we can go through Powell's presentation line by line to demonstrate the chasm between what he knew and what he told the world. As you'll see, there's quite a lot to say about it.
Powell's speech can be found on the archived State Department website here. All other sources are linked below.
PUBLIC CERTAINTY, PRIVATE DOUBT
On that February 5 in front of the UN Security Council, was Colin Powell certain what he was saying was accurate? He certainly was:
POWELL: My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.
Later, regarding whether Iraq had reconstituted a nuclear weapons program, he said:
POWELL: [T]here is no doubt in my mind...

I was ready to post a youtube Video of the “Israeli Knock". Supposedly, it is a warning shot before an artillery hit. I watched the video and it is in fact a double-tap.

ReplyDeleteUtash was 54 years old and weighed 155 pounds when he was attacked. He was beaten after he did what many drivers don’t: He stopped to check on a child he accidentally hit with his truck.
He was beaten so severely that doctors had to place him in a medically induced coma for 10 days. Within weeks, police found only four of the 12 to 20 men — and one teen — who set upon him near the corner of Morang and Balfour.
The men pleaded guilty, and their sentences — the last one announced in court yesterday — totaled 7.6 years.
So the bottom line is this: Utash, who was nearly killed by a mob on Detroit’s east side, will spend more time recuperating than the men who beat him will spend in prison.
And that’s a damn shame.
The most troubling words in this entire case — from April until now — came from Wayne County Circuit Court Judge James Callahan when he sentenced 19-year-old Latrez Cummings to six months as part of a youth program that could one day erase his record completely. Callahan almost casually dismissed Cummings’ actions by saying “ We’ve all been 19 years of age,” according to news reports. And he said that Cummings needed a father in his life.

Over the last couple of years, we have been losing judges right and left around here as they have been kicked off the bench by the judicial tenure commission for everything from misconduct, to fraud, to corruption, to sexual misconduct with defendants. Hopefully, Callahan will be the next to go.

ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, one man's view on Israel and the subject of apartheid.
Don’t Accuse Israel of Apartheid
Israel is not a perfect state, but it is nothing like apartheid South Africa, says a writer who has lived in both countries.
Living in apartheid South Africa, as I did, was easy in moral terms. Living in Israel, as I do now, is difficult.
In apartheid South Africa the choice was clear and beyond escape: It was good versus evil. Apartheid, apartness, which meant racial segregation and discrimination enforced by the white minority on the country’s black, colored and Asian peoples, was wrong and inhuman, denying freedom and stunting and destroying lives. The problem for concerned people was not merely to do the obvious thing and reject apartheid, but to decide what to do about it. That is, how far to go in opposing it against an increasingly tyrannous government: from being a passive bystander to imperiling your liberty, even life.
In Israel, the moral choices are many and complex and are a daily challenge. Each of the two main competing groups, Jews and Arabs, has right on its side, through history, land, religion, geography, and tradition. The dilemma is how to satisfy their separate demands and aspirations for a tiny piece of land. The problem is bedevilled because in the long struggle between them, neither side has always behaved well, inflicting death and destruction on the other.
Each side believes that it is in the right, and each side fears and rejects the other. Jews and Arabs are a mirror image of each other: each believes that force is the only language that the other understands; each believes that the other is trying to wipe it out. That there is some truth in these beliefs on both sides adds to the complexities.

.
It isn't worth much.
DeleteOne side wants to impose Sharia on the entire world, and the other doesn't, for instance.
And a hundred other things.
For what it is worth, not much, Mr Pogrund is nothing more than an Israeli apologist with credentials to garner attention. He is convenient for Israeli propaganda, but Israel is under the control of a few hundred thousand religious and nationalist fundamentalists; they hold the ineffectual Netantyahu in the palms of their hands and have infiltrated the IDF (particularly its middle -ranking officers) so that protection is provided for the thieves who steal Palestinian land. The peaceful way to stop this fanaticism and greed is through boycotts.
DeleteAnd if they are so ineffective why does Israel maintain a violent and cruel one against Gaza? We do not ask for Israelis to be treated with equal barbarity; only justice.
In an especially perceptive passage, the authors write:
Delete“Israel’s version of apartheid is more sophisticated than the South African version.
South African apartheid was rudimentary, petty, primitive —
literally black and white, clear separation, no rights.
Israel’s apartheid is more hidden with the deceptive image of ‘democracy.’
Palestinian citizens of Israel have the right to vote. However, in every other area they are discriminated against by law and policy.”

New Islamic Caliphate Declares Jihad on...Muslims
By Raymond Ibrahim
The new “caliphate” of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi – the Islamic State, formerly ISIS – recently made clear that it means to follow in the footsteps of the original caliphate of Abu Bakr (632-634). It will do this specifically by directing its jihad against fellow Muslims – in Islamic parlance, the “hypocrites” and “apostates,” or in Western terminology, “moderates.”
This came out in the context of the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, with some Muslims asking the newly formed “caliphate” when it would launch a jihad on the Jewish state.
The Islamic State’s response? “Allah in the noble Koran does not command us to fight Israel or the Jews until we fight the apostates and hypocrites.”
On one of the Islamic State’s question-and-answer websites, it was asked “why it was not fighting Israel but instead shedding the blood of the sons of Iraq and Syria.” The new caliphate responded:
DeleteThe greater answer is in the noble Koran, when Allah Almighty speaks about the near enemy. In the majority of verses in the noble Koran, these are the hypocrites, for they pose a greater danger than the original infidels [born non-Muslims, e.g., Jews and Christians]. And the answer is found in Abu Bakr al-Sadiq, when he preferred fighting apostates over the conquest of Jerusalem [fath al-Quds], which was conquered by his successor, Omar al-Khattab.
There’s much to be said about this response, rife as it is with historical allusions.
First, it is true. After the prophet of Islam died, a great number of Arabian tribes that had submitted to his rule by becoming Muslims – the word muslim simply means “one who submits” – thought they could now renege, and so they apostatized in droves. This sparked the first Ridda, or “apostasy war,” waged by Abu Bakr al-Sadiq, who became the first caliph on Muhammad’s death in 632. For nearly two years, until his own death in 634, al-Sadiq's caliphate’s entire energy was focused on waging jihad on all the recalcitrant Arab tribes, forcing them by the edge of the sword to return to the fold of Islam.
Tens of thousands of Arabs were burned, beheaded, dismembered, or crucified in the process, according to Islamic history, especially by the “Sword of Allah.” It was only afterwards, under the reign of the second caliph, Omar al-Khattab (634-644), that the great Islamic conquests against the “original infidels” – those non-Arab peoples who had never converted to Islam, Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, etc. – took place.
Islam’s war on the apostate, so little known in the West, figures prominently in Islamic history. Indeed, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of the most influential Islamic clerics today, while once discussing the importance of killing any Muslim who apostatizes from Islam on Al Jazeera, correctly stated that “[i]f the [death] penalty for apostasy was ignored, there would not be an Islam today; Islam would have ended on the death of the prophet.”
DeleteIn short, and as the Islamic State is now arguing, the first and greatest enemy of Islam – the “nearest” enemy – is the “apostate” and “hypocrite,” for these are the most capable of subverting Islam from within.
This phenomenon of “pious” Muslims fighting and killing “lukewarm” Muslims, or Shia and Sunni fighting one another – while the original infidel stands by or gets away – has many precedents throughout history. For example, in its response, the Islamic State further justifies not fighting Israel by saying:
The answer is found in Salah ad-Din al-Ayubi [Saladin] and Nur ad-Din Zanki when they fought the Shia in Egypt and Syria before [addressing] Jerusalem. Salah ad-Din fought more than 50 battles before he reached Jerusalem. And it was said to Salah ad-Din al-Ayubi: “You fight the Shia and the Fatimids in Egypt and allow the Latin Crusaders to occupy Jerusalem?” And he responded: “I will not fight the Crusaders while my back is exposed to the Shia.”
All of this history quoted by the Islamic State is meant to exonerate the new caliphate’s main assertion: “Jerusalem will not be liberated until we are done with all these tyrants, families, and pawns of colonialism that control the fate of the Islamic world.”
Some observations:
Although the Islamic State is trying to suggest that only autocrats like Syria’s Bashar al-Assad are “apostates” and “hypocrites,” and that most average Muslims are eager for Sharia, the fact is, a great many of the world’s Muslims fit under this rubric. The largest revolution in history, Egypt’s anti-Brotherhood revolution, attests to this. Thus, the new caliphate’s jihad is against not just tyrants, but many average Muslims as well, as the organization’s carnage in Iraq and Syria attests.
The Islamic State’s declaration justifying non-confrontation with Israel is not winning it much popular support in the Arab world and is naturally portrayed as a cop-out. It further validates the popular Arab narrative that the United States is siding with the Islamists to create havoc in the region – to have the various sects (Sunni vs Shia, moderate vs. Islamist) fight each other in order to divide and weaken the region. Thus, Dr. Ahmed Karima, a leading professor of Islamic jurisprudence in Al Azhar, said that the Islamic State’s position concerning Israel proves that “it is a creation of U.S. and Israeli intelligence” and that the new caliphate “is the biggest of all hypocrites.”
Alternatively, others, especially Islamists, appreciate that the Islamic State is patterning itself after the first caliphate of Abu Bakr – hence why its first caliph chose that name – because it finds itself operating in the same circumstances. Nascent and without much support, it first mission, like Abu Bakr's, is to re-subjugate Muslims to Islam. Only then can it focus on the “original infidels.”
While this approach may be temporarily good for Israel (and all infidel states), in the long run, a fully functioning and unified caliphate with “reformed” Muslims next door is not a pretty picture. After all, the Islamic State is not exonerating the infidel, but rather saying his turn will come once the caliphate is capable of an all-out assault. At best, it’s a temporary reprieve.

No Jew on this site believes the French or anyone else will help Israel. To state otherwise is agitprop. One Jew on this site believes Israel should tell the whole world to "fuck off". Israel needs to ride its own chute, play its own hand, and pay its own bills. I, for one will be pleased if Obama cuts off resupply of arms to Israel; we’ll start acting like Jews again instead of impecunious cousins, ala The Beverly Hillbillies.
"Necessity... the mother of invention"
___Plato
I do understand why Netanyahu et al are so reluctant to make the decisive move in Gaza: they have no strategy that contemplates a long term solution to the problem of Gaza. I’s all about today or ten days, at best. To my mind there is only one way to pacify Gaza and that is real occupation, investment, reconstruction, and education - turn the place into a Club Med, owned and operated by secular Palestinians. That’s going to take a long time, a huge investment, and some casualties, but Israel has no reasonable alternative choice. For Israel to survive, it cannot fight a war or mini-war every couple years. Gaza is as good a place as any to change the dynamics from strictly kinetic to civilizational. What an irony it would be should this cesspool eventually become the sole Arab modern, democratic investment haven.

When Deuce and others are willing to countenance such behavior you are witnessing what is wrong, on the whole, with America - a complete lack of moral fiber. A moral man might sympathize with the Palestinians but would draw red lines. An immoral man will accept any behavior to advance his political agenda, included using the deaths of children - or should I say certain children. Chesterton was correct: they will come to believe anything (no matter how abhorrent to traditional, honorable values).

ReplyDeleteContrary to what you may have read, WiO did not say that military "goodies" should be free (which they have never been, by the way). Indeed, Israel needs additional allies and is making those in Asia via India, Australia, China, and Japan. Too long has Israel been strapped to a one-trick, lame pony. When, as I hope it will, Israel starts selling military goods to its allies, it should ignore the wailing coming from DoD and American contractors.
