Judeofascism -- An Insider Viewpoint: November 13, 2001 Say No to a Palestinian 'State' Imagine the following scenario: after ages of discrimination, the United States decides to compensate African-Americans generously and to solve their problems once and for all. All African-Americans are locked up in prison, and the prisons are declared to be an independent African-American state. Sound crazy? That is just what the US and Israel are now planning - for the Palestinians. Things in Israel may have never been worse. Economically, the country is in the worst recession since 1953. Two major economic sectors - hi-tech and tourism - have suffered fatal blows, the one from the global collapse of the "new economy," the other from the Intifada boosted by the September attacks. Politically, living here calls to mind the first years of the Third Reich. Day after day you witness a society rapidly losing its human face. The safe haven for persecuted Jews has turned into a safe haven for sadistic war criminals, where nobody's life, be he Arab or Jew, is secure. As part of an overall campaign to de-legitimize the Arab-Israeli population, this week the Israeli Parliament lifted the immunity of its (Arab) member Azmi Bishara: not for corruption or criminal deeds (a commonplace in Israeli politics), but, for the first time, for things he had said. And even this decision, a dangerous blow to Israeli democracy, threatening the freedom of speech of an elected Parliament member, has been editorially applauded by Israel?s "liberal" newspaper Haaretz, which cynically blamed the victim: "If anyone is responsible for the situation having reached this point, it is MK Bishara himself." At the same time, Israeli state terrorism in the Occupied Territories is reaching unprecedented peaks. Israeli death-squads now kill a Palestinian freedom fighter almost every day. On the other hand, police claim to have "no clue" as to the identity of a Jewish terrorist group that has murdered at least six Palestinians during the past months. Prime Minister Sharon has not yet reached the death toll of his murderous predecessor Ehud Barak - during whose term, in October and November 2000, more than 110 Palestinians were killed every month - but he is making a good progress [...] antiwar.com Of course, the funny thing is the way the author warps his sincere dismay about how Israel has been turned into a jackboot state and ends up calling for the prolonged oppression of the Palestinians... Eventually, his anti-Arab prejudice overcome his democratic leanings...
