ISRAEL UPSET AT ITS NEW NAZI IMAGE desertpeace.wordpress.com The Toon in question (By Carlos Latuff) Israel protests Nazi cartoon Egyptian caricature published by ruling party’s newspaper features swastika-bearing flag Reuters The Israeli embassy has sent a complaint to the newspaper of Egypt’s ruling party about a cartoon that linked Israel and Nazis, an unusual step from a mission that tends to ignore its Egyptian media critics. Al-Watani al-Youm (the National Today) published a cartoon on June 15 showing an aid ship apparently bound for Gaza being grabbed by an octopus carrying an Israeli flag with a Nazi swastika in place of the Star of David symbol. The weekly is the mouthpiece of President Hosni Mubarak’s National Democratic Party. “The Israeli Embassy chose to comment on this caricature specifically because of the comparison between Israel and Nazism,” spokeswoman Shani Cooper-Zubida told Reuters. “There are a lot of anti-Semitic comments and caricatures in the Egyptian media that we prefer not to comment on. This one didn’t present legitimate opposition to Israeli policy, but defamation,” she said in an e-mailed response. “Using the Nazi swastika symbol in the heart of the cartoon, and even the idea of using it, is an insult to humanity and is tantamount to an anti-Semitic statement,” said the letter sent to the newspaper and that was passed to Reuters by the embassy. Editor Mohamed el-Alfy defended his newspapers position in an editorial saying it was a matter of freedom of expression.

The American “Church” and “Republic” Join Netanyahu’s Psychologist in Suicide By Mark Dankof Al-Jazeerah, CCUN, June 21, 2010 The National Prayer Network’s Ted Pike painfully reminds us that the American “evangelical” community is once again supporting the crimes of the Zionist State of Israel against decent humanity. Ted joins my old friends, Chuck Carlson of We Hold These Truths, and Dale Crowley, as one of the few Protestant evangelicals of national prominence who recognizes that murder and terror undergirded by an ideological agenda of Jewish racial supremacism, is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. The terroristic strike on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla is just the latest example of this demonic alliance, but it isn’t the last. The endgame is a preemptive Israeli attack on Iran. The Pike essay, “Right Swallows Israel’s Flotilla Lies,” is a part of a wider cancerous condition I wrote about for Covenant News 5 years ago, before leaving Philadelphia for a return to south Texas. The title of the piece was “Does the American Evangelical Church Have Terminal Cancer?“ It posited the idea as an interrogative, implying that perhaps the jury was still out on this movement, and the wider American Republic itself. What I wrote 5 years ago seems as fresh as it did then. I hope you will read it again, or for the very first time. There has been only one change in my thinking in this last half-decade. I no longer believe that the jury is out. The American “Church” and the Old Republic are dead. It is all over. The American/Zionist Empire’s coming attack on Iran, will facilitate the former’s eventual and merciful disappearance from the pages of history. All of the signs are present. Philip Giraldi’s critique of last December 14th’s Times of London story on the Iranian nuclear program, neatly summarized in Gareth Porter’s “US Intelligence Found Iran Nuke Document Was Forged, ” is still a basic roadmap. So is Giraldi’s more recent effort, entitled, “A Wasteland Called Peace.” In this latter essay, the former CIA station chief in Turkey summarizes the obvious comparison between the American-Zionist Empire and its ancient Roman predecessor. Even aside from theological questions of Divine Judgment for perpetrating evil, there is a logical reason why such Empires fail in their age old quest for world domination: They run out of men and money. The historical precursor which I believe portends the end of the American-Zionist Empire and Enterprise is something I discovered in an essay in a magazine at Barnes and Noble in San Antonio this week. The essay is Byron J. Nakamura’s treatise in the Summer 2010 The Quarterly Journal of Military History, entitled, “Julian’s Gamble in the Desert.” It chronicles the details of what happened in AD 363 when the Roman emperor attempted to capture Ctesiphon, the ancient Persian capital during the Sassanid Empire. Only Sassanid King Shahpur II and his presumably inferior conventional military capabilities stood in the way. Don’t just settle for the abbreviated Internet version. Buy the print copy. And think about the implications. The storm clouds continue to gather. Obama issues an Executive Order stating that the CIA may kill American citizens abroad on suspicion of being involved in terrorism. Petraeus and CENTCOM are expanding American black operations in more countries around the world. The Washington Post reports American plans to attack Pakistan if a future incident within the continental United States is traced to militants in that country. And in addition to its criminal assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai and conducting executions of peace activists sailing with the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in international waters, our Zionist ally has now deployed German-made nuclear subs off the Iranian coast while receiving covert permission from Saudi Arabia to utilize the latter’s airspace for an aerial assault on Shiite Iran. Is all of this insane? Clearly it is. It is not only insane, but internally contradictory. Robert Parry’s new essay, “Obama Goes With Neo-Con Flow on Iran,” provides us with the ultimate irony. The Tea-Party Turds, and the American “Christian” Right are in league with the hated Barack Obama, to bring about everything Israel wants. Will these morons wake-up? The answer is no. That is why I state that the American “Church” and Empire are officially dead, and especially brain dead. And speaking of insanity, it is left to Andrew Winkler’s Sydney-based Rebel News, to inform us of the suicide (or “suicide”) of Benyamin Netanyahu’s Israeli psychiatrist of 9 years, Moshe Yatom. An orthodox Lutheran pastor isn’t generally disposed toward empathizing with a Jewish-Freudian psychotherapist. I do in this case. Assuming the genuine character of Yatom’s suicide note, he recognized his client as a dangerously psychotic sociopath, or in Christian New Testament terms, a demon-possessed son-of-a-you-know-what. I presume Dr. Yatom concluded that despair and death were not only his endgame, but the endgame for an entire world, where Western civilization would follow his loony client and a led-by-the-nose Barack Obama into a collective catastrophe and demise on the Iranian plains. Shahpur II and the warning of AD 363 await our first move. The American “Church” and “Republic” Join Netanyahu’s Psychologist in Suicide
