The United States Promotes Israeli Genocide Against the Palestinians

(from “Tackling America’s Toughest Questions,” now at Amazon.com)
As long ago as October 19, 2000, the then United Nations Human Rights Commission (now Council) condemned Israel for inflicting “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity” upon the Palestinian people, most of whom are Muslims. The reader has a general idea of what a war crime is, so I am not going to elaborate upon that term here. But there are different degrees of heinousness for war crimes. In particular are the more serious war crimes denominated “grave breaches” of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Since the outbreak of the first Intifada in 1987, the world has seen those heinous war crimes inflicted every day by Israel against the Palestinian people living in occupied Palestine: e.g., willful killing of Palestinian civilians by the Israeli army and by Israel’s illegal paramilitary settlers. These Israeli “grave breaches” of the Fourth Geneva Convention mandate universal prosecution for the perpetrators and their commanders, whether military or civilian, including and especially Israel’s political leaders.
But I want to focus for a moment on Israel’s “crimes against humanity” against the Palestinian people—as determined by the U.N. Human Rights Commission itself, set up pursuant to the requirements of the United Nations Charter. What are “crimes against humanity”? This concept goes all the way back to the Nuremberg Charter of 1945 for the trial of the major Nazi war criminals in Europe. In the Nuremberg Charter of 1945, drafted by the United States Government, there was created and inserted a new type of international crime specifically intended to deal with the Nazi persecution of the Jewish people:
Crimes against humanity: namely, murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated.
(Article continues below)
The paradigmatic example of “crimes against humanity” is what Hitler and the Nazis did to the Jewish people. This is where the concept of “crimes against humanity” came from. And this is what the U.N. Human Rights Commission determined that Israel is currently doing to the Palestinian people: crimes against humanity. Expressed in legal terms, this is just like what Hitler and the Nazis did to the Jews. That is the significance of the formal determination by the U.N. Human Rights Commission that Israel has inflicted “crimes against humanity” upon the Palestinian people. The Commission chose this well-known and long-standing legal term of art quite carefully and deliberately based upon the evidence it had compiled.
Furthermore, the Nuremberg “crimes against humanity” are the historical and legal precursor to the international crime of genocide as defined by the 1948 Genocide Convention. The theory here was that what Hitler and the Nazis did to the Jewish people was so horrific that it required a special international treaty that would codify and universalize the Nuremberg concept of “crimes against humanity.” And that treaty ultimately became the 1948 Genocide Convention.
Article II of the Genocide Convention defines the international crime of genocide in relevant part as follows:
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
….
As documented by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe in his seminal book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine (2006), Israel’s genocidal policy against the Palestinians has been unremitting, extending from before the very foundation of the State of Israel in 1948, and is ongoing and even intensifying against the 1.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Zionism’s “final solution” to Israel’s much touted “demographic threat” allegedly posed by the very existence of the Palestinians has always been genocide.
Certainly, Israel and its predecessors-in-law—the Zionist agencies, forces, and terrorist gangs—have committed genocide against the Palestinian people that actually started on or about 1948 and has continued apace until today in violation of Genocide Convention Articles II(a), (b), and (c). For at least the past six decades, the Israeli government and its predecessors-in-law—the Zionist agencies, forces, and terrorist gangs—have ruthlessly implemented a systematic and comprehensive military, political, and economic campaign with the intent to destroy in substantial part the national, ethnical, racial, and different religious (Jews versus Muslims and Christians) group constituting the Palestinian people. This Zionist/Israeli campaign has consisted of killing members of the Palestinian people in violation of Genocide Convention Article II(a). This Zionist/Israeli campaign has also caused serious bodily and mental harm to the Palestinian people in violation of Genocide Convention Article II(b). This Zionist/Israeli campaign has also deliberately inflicted on the Palestinian people conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction in substantial part in violation of Article II(c) of the Genocide Convention.
Article I of the Genocide Convention requires all contracting parties such as the United States “to prevent and to punish” genocide. Yet to the contrary, historically the “Jewish” state’s criminal conduct against the Palestinians has been financed, armed, equipped, supplied and politically supported by the “Christian” United States. Although the United States is a founding sponsor of, and a contracting party to, both the Nuremberg Charter and the Genocide Convention, as well as the United Nations Charter, these legal facts have never made any difference to the United States when it comes to its blank-check support for Israel and their joint and severable criminal mistreatment of the Palestinians—truly the wretched of the earth!
The world has not yet heard even one word uttered by the United States and its NATO allies in favor of “humanitarian intervention” against Israel in order to protect the Palestinian people, let alone a “responsibility to protect” the Palestinians from Zionist/Israeli genocide. The United States, its NATO allies, and the Great Powers on the U.N. Security Council would not even dispatch a U.N. Charter Chapter 6 monitoring force to help protect the Palestinians, let alone even contemplate any type of U.N. Charter Chapter 7 enforcement actions against Israel – shudder the thought!. The doctrine of “humanitarian intervention” so readily espoused elsewhere when U.S. foreign policy goals are allegedly at stake has been clearly proved to be a joke and a fraud when it comes to stopping the ongoing and accelerating Israeli campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people.
Rather than rein in the Israelis—which would be possible just by turning off the funding pipeline—the United States government, the U.S. Congress, and U.S. taxpayers instead support the “Jewish” state to the tune of about 4 billion dollars per year, without whose munificence this instance of genocide – and indeed conceivably the State of Israel itself – would not be possible. What the world witnesses here is (yet another) case of “dishumanitarian intervention” or “humanitarian extermination” by the United States and Israel against the Palestinians and Palestine. In today’s world genocide pays so long as it is done at the behest of the United States and its de jure or de facto allies such as Israel.
Of course miracles can always happen. But I anticipate no fundamental change in America’s support for the Israeli campaign of genocide against the Palestinians during the tenure of the Obama/Clinton administration.

So, Hamas a terrorist organization…and who by the way is not supposed to be there according to scripture..should be allowed to harass Israel? Israel can’t defend themselves? SEE LIKE RON PAUL SAID…STAY OUT OF THE AFFAIRS OF OTHER PEOPLE…ALL THO I LOVE ALEX JONES, BUT THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS…It seems like this article and a few others are promoting hate towards Israel. The problem we have here is, if the “Palestinians” Who HATE ISRAEL WERE TO ATTACK THEM, PEOPLE WOULD SAY..”Let’s talk it out…” BUT WHEN ISRAEL HAS A ENOUGH OF THE BULL…AND TALKS AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE..WE PERSECUTE ISRAEL FOR STANDING UP FOR THEMSELVES??? THIS IS BULL!

Another IDF employee trying their best. Sorry, Eli, being paid by the IDF or AIPAC, to come here and write propaganda, is as transparent as the window in my lounge room.
January 11th, 2009 at 9:35 am
In response to Eli…. Israel was created by the PTB FOR A PURPOSE, and that is to fulfilll the Jewish /Talmudic/Masonic/Demonic end of days plan for One World Government, One World Religion, One World Currency, under the rule of a Jewish Anti-Christ. Hanmas, Al-CIA-EDA , Pakistan Intelligence, etc, are all Mossad-CIA inventions, for over Five Thousand years there FULFILLMENT seems to be coming to fruition. Thats why ‘they’ have billions of people brainwashed around the world into believing Independence, Freedom of Speech, LIBERTY, ARE ALL ANTI-SEMITIC and thus worthy of the KBR CAMPS unless they submit and accept the coming MARK OF THE BEAST.

“The United States Promotes Israeli Genocide Against the Palestinians ”
Our puppet government does not the people.
I listened to “taking aim” with Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone. It’s an internet radio broadcast archive. It was sickening listening to the types of bombs and weaponry being used on these helpless people. The types of injuries, and such. Isreal is very evil.

This is an old story of Zionists setting up legal theories for their benefit, then ignoring their own laws after violating them. This fits nicely with the psycho Talmud, a journal written by ego maniacs hoping to convince people they are above the laws of GOD and man. This is why duel citizen, Talmud worshipers like Rahm Emanuel in government are very bad for the United States.
Someone wanted to get a copy of the Talmud to carry with them. Sorry, the ego mania extends for multiple volumes. True psycho ego manics do not stop with a brochure of bull manure, it must look like a real religious library for idiots who will believe it is inspired by some version of Satan disguised as god. Read “Jesus in the Talmud” for the book size highlights.
“Expressed in legal terms, this is just like what Hitler and the Nazis did to the Jews. That is the significance of the formal determination by the U.N. Human Rights Commission that Israel has inflicted “crimes against humanity” upon the Palestinian people. The Commission chose this well-known and long-standing legal term of art quite carefully and deliberately based upon the evidence it had compiled.”
“Legal term of art” is right. This propaganda theory was established by Zionist lawyers to make the war crimes against the jews (and many others they seem to forget about because they are only “cattle”) sound like crimes against the world to the public. What about the millions of Christians murdered by Stalin? What about all the German civilians fired bombed, and prisoners of war murdered by Zionist Eisenhower? Crimes are crimes against specific people, not humanity unless they are something like polluting the air with depleted uranium or biological weapons that effect everyone.
“Article II of the Genocide Convention defines the international crime of genocide in relevant part as follows:”
Sorry, but the NWO global elites to not recognize your nice Genocide Convention any more than the US Constitution, they are only for the cattle.
“As documented by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe in his seminal book The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine (2006), Israel’s genocidal policy against the Palestinians has been unremitting, extending from before the very foundation of the State of Israel in 1948, and is ongoing and even intensifying against the 1.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Zionism’s “final solution” to Israel’s much touted “demographic threat” allegedly posed by the very existence of the Palestinians has always been genocide.”
Everyone loves “Israel”, even if the Bible says it no longer exists except as political nation. As a Christian, it is sickening to me that so many people have been deceived, bribed or blackmailed into supporting this nation of organized criminals that has succeeded in ruining the USA. I have to believe that God cannot let this continue, and it is time for true Christians to either wake up, or pay for eternity.

Sucks to be a Palestinian these days, especially since they are descendents of Edom and the prophecies about them are being fulfilled today. Obadiah. Again, sucks to be them, and just ‘coz it’s prophesied doesn’t make Israel blameless. They will be exterminated.
Some end-times numbers fun…ya ready?
We have now the 111th pope, the 111th congress, 2+0+0+9 adds to 11, 2 x 9 = 18 (6+6+6). Gonna be a busy year for us AND the baby sacrificers…it’s their time.

propellant, sugar and fertilizer, WOW
what they call a warhead, urea nitrate fuse fashioned from a NAIL, striking a BULLET casing, o’ my gawd, so wonder they can fire off 1000 and kill 2 ppl, the 2 ppl likely died of old age, a nail and bullet casing, versus nuclear weapons????????
where is the proportionality, israel targets UN flag draped schools for a friggn nail and bullet casing, I am disgusted now
these are not rockets, they are firecrackers for gawds sake.
first israel cuts off food, water for YEARS, the palestinians get pissed and lob some friggn firecrackers , and israel kills babies,
war, ??
it is a slaughter of innocents
spread the word, hamas is throwing spitballs and flicking with wet towels, and for that their babies are slaughtered, so wonder israel is blocking all news to their own people, their own people would rise up against this slaughter if ONLY they knew the truth, not the propaganda fed to them

Iran has given them rockets that can hit damn near close to Tel Aviv. And they use mortars too. If you are going to tell some stories, tell all of them. I’ve had mortars explode around me before and they are no picknic. Plus, they target civilians on purpose. Israel obviously doesn’t target civilians, which is evidenced by the much-lauded UN casualty stats. The death toll is simply too low for targeting civilians, much less for “genocide”. What if Mexico started launching rockets at Texas, homemade or not, and shelling the border towns with 20mm mortars. What do you think Texas, or the US would do, huh? After formal complaints failed to work, they would go into Mexico and take the hostiles out. Use your head and don’t blindly follow the popular tripe.

There are Masonic/ illuminati leaders in the government of Israel and Palestine. They are going to keep this conflict up until the people will be so sick of war that they will do anything to have peace. At they right time the illuminati will bring on their christ and they will all shut off the violence and make him look like a hero to be worshipped. I know Israel has committed atrocities. I also know that Hamas has recently legalized crucifixion and I have seen the Palestinians make a peace treaty and then on the same day go back and rally the people for Jihad. I have seen 5 year olds singing on Palestinian children shows about how they are willing to give their lives to drive every Jew into the ocean. I have heard Palestinian leaders say every Jew must be eliminated. I don’t think Israel is innocent, but neither is Palestine. I don’t know if peace can ever be reached with people that are so inflamed with hatred by their religous leaders.

4 billion dollars a day. A merchant shipment on the way as I write this with even more ammunition and perhaps other, undisclosed on the shipping manifest, horrible weaponry ready to be tested on a human populace by morally bankrupt fanatics in the Israeli OFFENCE Forces. This merchant ship may be doomed to never reach Israel as it’s possibly another Lusitania scenario meant to implicate Iran. 4 billion dollars a day. Let me say that again…
4 BILLION DOLLARS A DAY!
…of YOUR TAX MONEY my fellow Americans. It’s going to fund more genocide! While our public education system, our healthcare system and our economy, which cannot implode any further, are about to sink so far down the proverbial gravity well that even light may not escape. ‘Tis tax season people…

I used to work for the US govt in the 80’s. We gave lots of aid to the “Palestinians”, along with Israel. I personally know many from both of them. The “Palestinians” don’t like being bullied by the other Arab countries, since they were forced to move there after WW1 in order to thwart the formation of Israel, and they are also raised to hate jews. The Israeli govt is a puppet of our own govt, true, but they are NOT engaging in genocide. I get tired of these non-military types who pontificate about things they are vastly ignorant of. The IDF is a scale-down version of our military. I know, because I trained with them. Just look at the body count. If the IDF was purposefully targeting civilians, they would have killed 10,000 outright by now. But they haven’t. Because they are only targeting Hamas, who openly admits that they hide among civilians for “safety” and for political ammunition whenever the IDF decides to take some of them out. I don’t like to see collateral damage among civilians myself, because I have seen it first hand, but you people need to get your heads out of your collective asses and use some common sense. And yes it is true that the Massad helped form Hamas, along with several other groups in the region you ignorant people aren’t even aware of. That is good strategy, because that way they can keep the Arabs from uniting as a whole and attacking them together. The Arabs and other nations outnumber them 250 to 1 in population. Israel would be force to use the “Samson Option”, if the Arabs, Egyptians, and Iran decided to attack them at the same time. And they have a hell of alot more than 400 nukes, believe me. They just want to be left alone. The “Palestinians” that I know, just want to be left alone too, but by the Arab nations who abandoned them after the last formal war with Israel won’t help them either. They want their own state too, but are prevented by the Arab nations. Even the late King Hussein of Jordon stated that “all of the problems of the Palestinians can be laid at the feet of the Arab nations” I guess I have a better perspective on all of this since I have family and friends that have lived all over the Middle East for the last 70 years, and I had first-hand dealings with the IDF while both in and out of the US military.

Lots of blah blah blah, whichever way you choose to go it is impossible to escape the fact that — what goes round comes round–. The monkeys will always wage war because that is their nature — take a step backwards, take a couple of deep breaths and try to aspire to the thoughts that will one day allow you to evolve to the status of Homo Sapiens. It’s all horrific but taking sides one way or the other won’t help one little bit. Spend some time to send some love to those who survive — it could make a difference.

Eli
You are not real smart are you? None of us no Jews buy that garbage, The horribly sad fact is that the Palestinian people are not terrorists they are defending their country, sovereignty and for basic human rights. Israel has cruely and unjustifiably stolen their land using a really bogus premise. You are NOT God’s chosen people. This disputed land was never given by God to the Holocaust jews, it was given to the Israelites who were scattered among the nations. The Israelites themselves lost the land because they refused to honor God’s ways.
I think at this stage in the game we all know that if Israel would merely leave the occupied territory and stop further expansion into Palestine and harrassment of their people, Hamas or anyone else fighting for the plight of the Palestinian people would have no reason whatsoever to retaliate. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Well unless you are puffed with pride that is!
Israel currently occupies nearly 40% of all Palestine. What this clearly means to all of us is that the Israel is without question the peretrator of this conflict, it is not the palestinian people or Hamas their democratically elected government.
You know dude, this line of recognizable crap that you all keep pouring in the wine glass of the world community has become a bitter drink so sour to the stomach that a solid majority of reasonable men merely vomit it out. I have to ask, just where do you all believe this road pave with cruelty and the destruction of your neighbor will take you? People like you in the long run seldom prosper.
I will pray for you.

Israel is the epitome of Simeon Scatological lies and deceit. America has bowed down to the criminal Jewish empire and ultimately America has become the new Babylonian Empire that whores itself out to the highest bidder adn has absolutely zero respect for anyone or anything except money and power.
America will end up paying the ultimate sacrifice for it’s crimes against the world which is why you are given the warning to COME OUT OF HER!
DO IT…………NOW! Your time is very, very SHORT!
