If you go back you’ll find a link to a blog post that i’ve written where I denounced Avigdor Lieberman and his attempts at banning al-Nakba celebrations and his call for a ‘loyalty oath’.

Apart from building settlements in the Palestinian West Bank, what are the other Israeli policies that you condemn ?

Jihad el-Khazen
The word denial is used in English, nay in the entire West, as much as words such as facts, circumstances, and problems are used in our political lingo.

This word came back to my recollection after I found a website (that is likely to be Jewish), and which mentioned my name with 124 thousand news items related to Israel and the Jews. I did not read more than a couple of pages from that site since life is too short to read it all. While I am not important enough to be the central focus of news stories, I noticed from browsing the published material that it was accusing me time after time of denial, such as denying terrorism, its origins, and denying the Palestinian “terrorism” – which I see as a legitimate resistance one thousand percent, and which I support against the Israeli terrorism.

Apparently, the fact that I had always criticized those who deny the Holocaust did not vouch for me as far as this website was concerned, nor did the fact that I wrote time and again about the peace seeking Jews in Israel, the United States and from all around the world; for this electronic site, as long as I support Fatah, Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel, then I am evading the problem by denying it.
…

I am not an ‘apologist’ because I am not employed by the Israeli government or the Israel Defence Forces. I am simply an independent blogger and politics student who attempts to present an alternative side that is seen on this board. Hence why I do not lend any support to the Settler movement and openly condemn policies of the State of Israel that I disagree with. I am a Zionist and I am proud of the State of Israel and its achievements. I sincerely believe that the world harshly judges Israel whilst turning a blind eye to the thousands of human rights abuses that plague this world (simply look at the Human Rights Council and how many condemnations it has made against Israel vs the rest of the world).

I find it difficult to believe that the Aftonbladet article was not tied to the recent arrest of Jews in New Jersey considering that the ‘organ theft’ occurred in 1992. The article simply makes a number of claims and yet provides absolutely not one shred of proof. I am surprised that this ‘article’ managed to make it past the editorial process as it is nothing but slander. The journalist even pointed out:

“It concerns me, to the extent that I want it to be investigated, that’s true. But whether it’s true or not — I have no idea, I have no clue”

and

“Boström explained that he had not meant to imply that IDF soldiers were killing Palestinians for their organs. “Even the Palestinians don’t say that,”…..”But Boström admitted he had no evidence of such deeds”
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3766093,00.html

So basically we have a journalist who has no proof of any wrong-doing by the Israel Defence Forces publishing an article condemning them for harvesting organs. This “evidence” was primarily based on hearsay and rumours from the Palestinian street. Well i’ve also heard that Kevin Rudd enjoys a nice chardonnay of rams blood after dinner…..think the SMH will publish that?

Even you can’t truly believe that Israel is the ‘only rogue state defying and belittling all humanity’. Regardless of our political differences you must realise that there are a range of human rights abuses throughout the world. That statement ignores the hundreds of millions of people who are trapped under oppressive regimes…not to mention individuals such as husbands, wives, daughters and sons who are caught in the ever-growing scourge of domestic violence.

In regards to that Aftonbladet article, I’ve read it and it’s complete and utter bollocks ( I do believe that’s the most academically appropriate term). They have no proof other than the picture of a body with what looks like a standard autopsy scar and they attempt to link it to a number of Jews that were arrested for, among other things, organ trafficking. Essentially what the “journalist” has done is to link Jews with the actions of the Israel Defence Forces (and vice-versa). It’s something far more suited to come out of an anti-Semitic newspaper.

Israel is the only rogue state defying and belittling all humanity in the 21st century. Israeli army officers and other criminals involved in the crime of stealing the organs of Palestinians killed by the IDF and its agents must be exposed and brought to justice.

The petition

September 1, 2009

BACKGROUND: In late July 2009, FBI Agent Robert J. Cooke filed a criminal complaint in US District Court against Levy Rosenbaum alleging that he unlawfully conspired “to acquire, receive, and otherwise transfer human organs.” Rosenbaum is quoted as indicating he had been procuring human organs for “[t]en years” and there are “people over there [in Israel] hunting” for organs.

On August 17, 2009, a Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, published “Our sons plundered for their organs,” by veteran Middle East photojournalist Donald Boström. Boström indicates the Rosenbaum story, which garnered international attention, inspired him to revisit his experiences in Palestine in the 1990s. He writes: “I then travelled around interviewing a great number of Palestinian families in the West Bank and Gaza—meeting parents who told of how their sons had been deprived of organs before being killed. … ‘Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,’ relatives of Khaled from Nablus told me, as did the mother of Raed from Jenin and the uncles of Machmod and Nafes from Gaza, who had all disappeared for a number of days only to return at night, dead and autopsied.” Boström opines that these charges raise “enough question marks to motivate the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to start an investigation …”

–The Javanese land grab in West Papua

–The Chinese Government’s partly successful attempts to get Han Chinese to move to Tibet and to Xinjiang Province (where the Uighurs live) in effect displacing the native populations.

–The Pashtun attempt to dominate Afghanistan through the Taleban.

Saddam Hussein era Iraq was also a racist state. It suppressed the Shia and Kurds in favour of the Sunni minority. Looks like post-Saddam Iraq will be more of the same with the Shia and Sunnis changing places.

Syria is run by a small Alawite minority.

Often the lot of non-Muslims in Muslim countries is not a happy one.

It seems that racial, ethnic and religious oppression is as global as flu.
