How a Zionist in Israel went from leader to public scourge

But four years ago Burg not only walked away from politics. He pretty much walked away from Zionism. In a book that came out last year, and has just been translated and released in the United States, he said Israel should not be a Jewish state, that its law of return granting citizenship to any Jew should be radically altered, that Israeli Arabs were like German Jews during the Second Reich and that, in fact, the entire society felt eerily like Germany just before the rise of Hitler.
  • "I realized something about myself and Israel that frightened me," he said recently, looking back over the past few years. "I realized that Israel had become an efficient kingdom with no prophecy. Where was it going? What is a Jewish democratic state? What does it mean that Jews define themselves by genetics 60 years after genetics were used against them?"

UNICEF Rejects Support From Israeli Billionaire Known for Constructing Settlements on Palestinian Lands

"UNICEF’s rejection of Leviev’s support followed meetings with Adalah-NY, letters from organizations and Palestinian communities advocating a boycott of Leviev’s companies, and a visit by UNICEF officials to Jayyous, one of the Palestinian communities where a Leviev company is building Israeli settlements. Leviev’s diamond-mining companies in Angola have also been accused of serious human rights abuses."

Israel: a cancer on Jewish conscience

"Palestinians are effectively incarcerated. The overwhelming majority can't leave or enter Gaza. Without fuel and spare parts, public health conditions are declining steeply as water and sanitation services struggle to function. The electricity supply is sporadic and has been reduced further along with fuel supply in these past days. UNICEF reports that the partial functioning of Gaza City's main pumping station is effecting the supply of 600,000 people. Medication is in short supply and hospitals are paralyzed by power failures and the shortage of fuel for generators. Hospital infrastructure and essential pieces of equipment are breaking down at an alarming rate, with limited possibility of repair or maintenance as spare parts are not available. Concrete is in such short supply that people are unable to make graves for their dead. Hospitals are handing out sheets as funeral shrouds."

And, the world stands by in silence because the atrocites sited above are being committed by "God's Chosen People."

17 Palestinians killed in Gaza violence

"An Israeli soldier, left, at the Israel-Gaza border walks with two blindfolded arrested Palestinian men after an operation inside the Gaza Strip, Tuesday Jan. 15, 2008. Israeli tanks, bulldozers and helicopters raided the Gaza Strip Tuesday, killing the militant son of a hardline Hamas leader and 10 other Palestinians in one of the bloodiest days of fighting since Hamas took over the coastal territory in June. Palestinian sniper fire across the border killed a volunteer from Ecuador at an Israeli communal farm. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)"

Israeli tanks, bulldozers, and helicopter gunships ~ how can the world see this as anything but murder?

Bush prays in Bethlehem amid sea of barricades

US President George W. Bush(C) speaks with Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilis III(3rd R) while visiting the Church of the Nativity in the West Bank town of Bethlehem. (AFP/Jim Watson)

"Bethlehem's own mayor Victor Batarseh was not invited to the ceremony because he is a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which the US State Department considers a terror organisation."

It's interesting how Christians (the lovers of Christ) places the security and interests of Jews (the haters of Christ) above the security and interests of their own. Even as he drives along the humiliating road-blocks and checkpoints, it probably never occurs to "Born Again Christan" Bush that his Christian brethren are also murdered, starved, and brutalized behind the apartheid wall. This is evidenced by the fact that the PFLP, a Christian organization is branded "terrorist" because it resists Israeli occupation.
