This Ramadan, don't break your fast with an Israeli dates

Ramadan is a time of year when Muslim people observing religious spirituality by fasting and remember those who are less fortunate than their selves. It would be an affront if at such a time Muslim people and we helped support oppression.  Every year, Israel exports millions of pounds worth of dates to the world, which many people unknowingly buy and use to break their fasts....

for stockists of Palestinian Dates, please visit Zaytoun

          New posters put up this week:

This video is the official Mr Pity video for their title track 'Israeli Wall' from their debut album of the same name. Produced in association with FugaziQuo productions the video brings a fresh perspective to the situation in Palestine with respect to the wall that is separating both people and hearts with a view to inspire young people both in Israel and Palestine to take up arms in the form of musical instruments, in particular guitars, to emulate the trumpets that brought down the walls of Jericho.

Please follow us on Twitter to get some Tweetable messages for sending to our Leaders who have been fully supporting the siege of Gaza & the brutal Israeli Apartheid.

 

Please note: we are not specifically Anti-Israeli government and most certainly NOT Anti-Semitic, we are good friends of moderate Israelis who demand equality & reparations and we are directing criticism against all Imperialist governments who murder innocent civilians to secure cheap & plentiful oil & gas etc (just as we did in Iran, when we destroyed their Democracy in 1953).  We criticise our own government as well as Israel & USA, for their part in Nato Terrorism, Zionist & Capitalist hegemony, brutal oppression & torture.

Today's SAINSBURY'S action (Thursday 30th September 2010) by one of our friends who is outraged by UK supermarkets' support of Israeli Apartheid.

BASIL, MINT PEPPERS + MUCH MORE - please Boycott Israeli Apartheid as we were proud to do to end the appalling South African Apartheid - Don't forget also to buy Palestinian it's a miracle, but with the exception of Gaza, some stuff does get out.  The customs proceedures are another way the Israelis continue the Ethnic Cleansing, they make it impossible for indigenous Arabs to trade, that many businesses have closed down, others (like the Nablus Soap factory) have been literally bombed out of business.

We previously gathered evidence of UK supermarkets advertising various products as made in Israel, when in fact they were made or grown on Illegally Occupied Palestinian Land which was confiscated (stolen) from the indigenous people as it was Ethnically Cleansed and the brutal Apartheid & the Apartheid wall with remote controlled killing towers was introduced.

  

 

7 young people from Beit Hanoun in Gaza, close to the northern border with Israel, tell us the best and the worst things about living in Gaza, and send out their messaages from Gaza to the world.

 

My family & I were honoured to meet Brian Haw in London on Sunday, he has been camped in Parliament Square for the last nine years, campaigning for PEACE & against the disgusting foreign policy of Bliar, Brown & Cameron.  To me this man is a hero & I would ask EVERYONE with a conscience who is visiting central London to pay him a visit, show some solidarity & bring him some kind words and some sustenance or special treats.

ON 31st MAY 9 PEOPLE DIED WHEN ISRAELI COMMANDOS BOARDED A TURKISH SHIP CARRYING AID TO GAZA

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON THE MAVI MARMARA?
 
we found out at the PORTSMOUTH & SOUTH DOWNS PALESTINE SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN MEETING: It's nothing new, but Israeli Terrorist Forces did murder and maim dozens of innocent people the "IRON BARS" a few used to defend themselves were actually hollow pipes, hardly lethal weapons!  We hold the British & American Government responsible for not only allowing this to happen, but for actively encouraging their unconditional terrorist ally to massacre civilians who disagree with the siege of Gaza or the massacres of innocent unarmed peace campaigners protesting against the Apartheid Wall.

Please join our global poster campaign asking people to use Boycott as a non-violent weapon to end the Israeli Apartheid, just as we were proud to do, to end the far less severe racist segregation & white supremacy in South Africa.

 

 

Our friends are going out every day of the year & putting up signage to end the brutal Illegal Occupation & Apartheid.

We are British citizens & we denounce our own country (along with other Nato Terrorists) for illegally invading Iraq, raping their country & killing, maimining, traumatising or otherwise despoiling millions of Iraqis.  We work with Israelis & others from the International community who are also prepared to admit & confront the very bitter similar truth about the rape of Palestine by the radical-Zionist terrorists - this has virtually nothing to do with Judaism or any religion or any persons' God or "holiness".

We do not believe in the popular misconception of Oppressed & Oppressors being equal negotiating parties - we are not impartial. We are on the side of the oppressed and we deplore the grim Imperialist history all Western aggression against innocent unarmed civilians, whether in Vietnam, Iraq or Occupied Palestine.  We don't buy into the crap from our demagogic "leaders" about oppression being "necessary defense" and all resistance to illegal invasions & illegal occupation (including non-violent resistance & legal armed resistance) being "terrorism".

G.Berlin: We have 2 remember why we care & why we go & why we r so outraged at governments inaction.

Roger Waters video says it all http://bit.ly/bMdDp2

Shame on Tony Blair for pretending yet again that he is working for Peace & Justice in the Middle East,

we all know he is a FRIEND of APARTHEID & ILLEGAL Israel & has no genuine concern for the Palestinians.

We will recognise Israel's "RIGHT TO EXIST & DEFEND HERSELF" just as SOON as she recognises ALL of Palestine's rights including the same.

The state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as her capital, is recognised by most countries on the planet, though shamefully not the USA or the UK.

As Amnesty International say: "Little Actions times Millions = BIG CANGE

Misuse of Anti-Semitism  -  Carlos Latuff

Israeli raid on Gaza - Carlos Latuff:

another harsh yet honest depiction of Israel's intentional targeting & murder of civilians.

Israel has consistently used this punishment (and murder) of innocent unarmed civilians throughout her illegal history of occupation.

When the armed resistance do this we call them terrorists, when the illegal occupiers (contravening ICJ ICC & UN) Israel do it we perversely call it Self Defense. Please note UKFPI deplore & condemn all violence, especially Israel's frequent use of her insurmountable military might to massacre large numbers of civilians.

My favourite cartoonist ever is Carlos Latuff, I love this man. See more of his profound truth here

New OPEN GAZA posters put up by volunteer peace campaigners in Brighton UK-

13th June 2010, please scroll down or click here to see more

We feel it appropriate to place this here because many of these kids are from Gaza under siege, supported & funded by Obama & his chums.

Sunday June 6th 2010: Photos from TODAY'S Brighton (Sussex UK) PROTEST against Israeli Terrorism.

The people we met on the streets were absolutely amazing, they all felt passionately for the Palestinians and took nearly 2,000 Leaflets from us.  Please note a handfull of leaflets were accidentally given out by one of our peace campaigners that had the ISRC logo  on them.

We just wish to make it clear that the ICRC is of course totally impartial/apolitical & DID NOT endorse UKFPIs leaflet, we had simply used their logo to help them advertise their crucial hard hitting and tragic Gaza report from June last year.

PLEASE consider Boycotting all Israeli goods as we did with Racist South Africa-most Palestinians are ordinary family people just like us and they have watched as theirhomes & land was stolen & their loved ones killed by radical-Zionists.

Did you know? there are also many Jewish Israelis calling on us to Boycott Israel as they too wish to end the brutality & the inevitable tragic consequences for Jews Christians & Muslims if the Apartheid & mass "Collective Punishment" continues.

In the total absence of any action whatsoever from our pro Radical-Zionist leaders, Boycott is our strongest non-violent weapon to END the brutal segregation/Apartheid which is far worse than S.African Apartheid was.

 

Surely if Israel truly wants peace, she must recognise that the indigenous Palestinians are their EQUAL brothers & sisters in the eyes of God; & apologise for raping their lands & oppressing their people, accept there will be a "price to pay" for their barbarism for many years to come & that ONLY humanity will ameliorate this hatred which THEY created.

ONE THOUSAND DAYS of SHAME. Our leaders (in USA, UK & most European countries) have now gone down in history as the CRUELEST long term appeasers in HUMAN HISTORY.

Today Tuesday 9th March 2010 we commemorate the tragic 1,000 th day of inhuman blockading of Gaza & the Israeli's Nazi style brutal "collective punishment" torture & murder, maiming & mental torture of 1,500,000 innocent men women & children because the OIL/ENERGY/POWER GREEDY WEST didn't approve of their DEMOCRATIC choices or that some militants took ONE Israeli combatant as a prisoner of war, even though Israel has FALSELY imprisoned & TORTURED THOUSANDS of innocent men, women and even children.

ISRAELI  APARTHEID WEEK

please BOYCOTT ALL ISRAELI GOODS& SERVICES YOU CAN, until the BRUTAL APARTHEID ENDS

please remember it IS NOT Anti-Semitic to criticise Israeli Apartheid & land theft.  It is the Radical-Zionists who are being Anti-Semitic as they DISHONOUR the great caring religion of Judaism.

 

If anyone watches Anna's video & fails to support Palestine with their heart & soul, there must be something wrong with their "humanity circuit" !

 

This heartfelt but beautifully and objectively presented talk might well be the best introduction that is available, to the tragedy of the illegal occupation & truly brutal oppression of the Palestinians by Israel.

Many Israelis still believe that the indigenous Palestinians are some sort of "sub-species" who have NO right to be living in equality and freedom , if AT ALL, with "God's chosen people" who drove so many of the Arabs out & forced them to live in squalid refugee camps as second class citizens relying on handouts for the last 62 years.

On discovering the hidden truth, a very courageous, American Jew, Anna Baltzer has devoted her life to informing others of how it really is for Non-Jews in Israel & Occupied Palestine.

 

Who does YOUR HEART tell YOU to TRUST, Anna, below left, or the people in the pic below right?

 NEW ACTION wanted posters for the War Criminals

"Like many Americans and many Jews, I grew up with a positive view of Israel as a peace-seeking democracy.  Israel symbolized to me the one protection that Jews had against the type of persecution that had plagued families like mine throughout history.  I saw the Jewish state as a tiny and victimized country that simply wanted to live in peace but couldn’t because of its aggressive, Jew-hating Arab neighbors.

In 2003, during a backpacking trip through the Middle East, I began to meet Palestinian refugees from

1948.  I didn’t know who the Palestinians were, or where Palestine was, and through my new acquaintances I began to hear a narrative about the history and present of Israel/Palestine that was entirely different from the one I had learned growing up in the United States.

My first reaction was disbelief, and anger. Families told me stories of past and present military attacks, house demolitions, land confiscation, imprisonment without trial, and torture.  It seemed that these actions were not carried out for the protection of Jewish people, but rather for the creation and expansion of a Jewish state at the expense of the rights, lives, and dignity of the non-Jewish people living in the region.  It was hard for me to believe that Israel could act so unjustly.

Not believing what I heard, I decided to do some research to prove myself right.  Immediately, I was shocked to find how much I didn’t know about the situation on the ground.  Not knowing who or what to believe anymore, I decided to go to see the situation with my own eyes.  Since I returned, I’ve dedicated my life to informing fellow Americans and others about what I found, and what they can do to support a just peace for all peoples in Israel/Palestine."

Competition winner! PEACE by Peter Flude, aged 11

 

The state of Israel AND many of the illegal Jewish settlers are maiming, traumatising or murdering Palestinian Children (and their Mummies & Daddies, brothers & sisters, grannies & grandpas) just about every single day of the year.  We must stop this NOW. When history judges our generation, what will be our defense?

To the Palestinian armed resistance: PLEASE renounce violence now and the whole world will support you. We know you would suffer and some would still be murdered by Israel even for protesting peacefully, but you would win justice very soon if only you could do this.

We have apparently upset a few people by speaking from the heart, but the fact remains that there are millions more humane supporters of equality and justice around the world (with NO vested interests other than a desire to see equality amongst human beings) who agree with our demands for justice than there are Radical Zionists who disagree with them.  Sadly any human being who is demanding equality and freedom for Palestine, from Mother Theresa to Nelson Mandella is called anti-semitic or a LIAR, people are vilified and even attacked tortured, imprisoned or killed, simply for advocating non-violence and criticising the radical-Zionists.

"something happened on 11 September 2001 that caused the West to lose it's moral bearings in a way that led government machines, and those who worked in them, to move a significant way down the path of contempt for individuals.  The Nazis went much further down that path, but it is undeniably the same one."

CHILDREN ARE STILL DYING & NOW IT IS WINTER AGAIN

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FRIENDS ZUBER , PETER, JACKIE & ALL THE REST WHO FINALLY GOT IN.  WE UNDERSTAND THAT EGYPT HAS STILL DENIED ACCESS TO MUCH OF THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL AID.

It is now a WHOLE YEAR since the Gaza Massacre & NOTHING HAS BEEN DESIRED OR ACHIEVED BY OBAMA OR BROWN or EU, they are so obsessed with "killing terrorists" & destroying the democratic government in Gaza that they have lost their humanity.

please protest to our leaders to ensure that Israel

OPENS GAZA NOW

& ENDS THE BARBARIC OCCUPATION of the West Bank & The Golan Heights

PLEASE CALL and/or Mail William Hague NOW 0207 008 1500 & DEMAND ACTIONS & SANCTIONS NOT IMPOTENT RHETORIC & REWARDS.  We know full well that successive governments of bent politicians (bribed by the pro Zionist Israel lobby) in the USA, the UK & most of the EU have fully supported the 62 years of Palestinian Holocaust since the Nakba started in 1948.

Publicly they gently reprimand Israel for the killings, continuing land theft and human rights abuses, but privately they spur on and REWARD our "STRATEGIC ALLY", the US "Client State" of Israel.  The irony is that the US bribes Israel with $8,500,000 per day and then many of their most influential politicians receive "incentives" back from Israel either directly or through her supporters, including the radical Zionist AIPAC and also the radical Christian Zionists, and some very wealthy powerful individuals and organisations and companies.

Surely we really need to ask ourselves, who has murdered, maimed and mentally tortured more innocent civilians in the last decade, suicide bombers or the armies of state terror from Imperialist states such as USA, the Europeans & Israel?  Who has destroyed more ("unsuitable") democracies, the terrorists or our own Western governments?  Who created the relatively few terrorists in the first place?  Were they simply "born evil" or could it just possibly be something we did to them, year after year after year, from the day they were born till the day they blew themselves up?  Do we want to be rid of terrorists, or creating more?  Or do we believe in Obama's philosophy of perpetual War Of Terror, sorry he would prefer us to call it War On Terror -  or I think he nowadays likes to use the sanitised term 'overseas contingency operations'.

Please also tell the F.O. we don't want them to attack or support an Israeli or U.S. attack on Iran - however distasteful their radical government (caused as a fairly direct result of US & UK having destroyed their original genuine democracy in 1953 and installed a brutal dictator as our puppet) the fact is that Iran hasn't started any attack on any neighbour in modern history - apart from some dodgy rhetoric from Mr Ahmadinejad (who doesn't personally have a finger on any future nuclear button) they are not the aggressors.

Please see this map of US bases and then say IRAN is a threat to US!

PLEASE email William Hague NOW or call the Foreign Office: 0207 008 1500

we aren't asking you for ANY money (yet!).  All we are asking is that you DO something... (if you haven't aleready)

If for whatever reason you feel unable to email an MP (WILLIAM HAGUE) you might like to Donate to Occupied Territories Fund..

You will need to telephone them 020 7012 6400 to make a SPECIFIC donation & specify the "Illegally Occupied Territories" which still include Gaza - don't forget to ask for it to be GIFT AIDED if you are a UK taxpayer - if you can manage both (email & donation), you will definitely go to heaven!

 

         

           

some of these photos are courtesy of Anna Baltzer, many of the children in our greater collection of photos are now dead, maimed or seriously mentally affected by the Israeli missiles and tanks and bulldozers and general death and destruction.

 

Smiling faces, but for the grim reality, please click HERE (some images are very distressing) though we have refrained from the horror propaganda of showing Arab or Jewish children with arms legs & heads blown off.

 

Director of Jewish Voice For Peace: "From the South Hebron hills, where local families fought to stay on their land, even as children are stoned on their way to school and their harvests and animals are poisoned; to Asariyah, formerly part of Jerusalem, but now cut off and surrounded by the Wall; to Bedouin communities in Israel that are being demolished over and over again; I was witness to the ravages of state policies that unequivocally favor one people over another, making neither peace nor security possible for anyone in the region.

But during this time I was also privileged to get to know the amazing groups of tireless Palestinian and Israeli activists who need our support. I am more convinced than ever that we in the US have an enormous responsibility -- and opportunity -- to play a critical role in bringing about an end to the apartheid-like policies that are the heartbreaking reality of the Occupation today. "

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO HAMAS who whilst being fairly elected are childishly excluded from talks, but have courageously been the first to take a unilateral step towards peace - thank you to HAMAS for persuading the militants to stop rocket fire into Israel.  PLEASE try to keep up the non violent brave resistance as this is the Radical Zionists greatest fear - no excuse to destroy a peace loving non-violent people - keep this up and the whole world will support you; maybe not all of our sick bent politicians, but ordinary citizens salute you for once again doing your best to keep the armed resistance to a ceasefire.

We understand that whether you fight back with force or whether you resist with only your peaceful but brave and highly intelligent means, there are gravely injurious and fatal consequences either way - intelligent people know that non-violrent resistance takes even more courage, but it will leave the Israeli government with NO MORE EXCUSES.

Netanyahu's regime tragically responded to this announcement with yet more air strikes.  So sad that he now offers to freeze settlement activity (though immediately allowing it to continue) but also refusing to stop the Ethnic Cleansing, forced evictions, house demolitions and illegal ongoing COLONISATION of East Jerusalem in blatant contravention of the 4th Geneva Convention.  Israel has been, throughout history, the world's biggest culprit for violation of UN resolutions - some people are saying they have made a mockery and a laughing stock of the (in the case of Israel) impotent UN.

Maybe in pure humanitarian terms it would be better to insist on Opening Gaza as a prelude to peace talks, rather than a "sham" settlement freeze, which we all know will never be honoured and implemented even if agreed to.  Though both would be a fair starting point and to realease ALL prisoners of war on both sides (only one on the Palestinian side), but many innocent Palestinians in Israeli jails with no crime, no charge, no trial, no justice.

LATEST NEWS: After months of empty rhetoric from the USA "demanding" a most reasonable Palestinian pre-condition of West Bank Settlement Freeze, obviously including West Bank Capital of East Jerusalem, Israel said NO, NO, NO (made a token gesture to a partial freeze, which on the ground appears not to be in force) so now Hilary Clinton is saying pre-conditions aren't important after all (what RIGHT does SHE have to say this?) - we were only kidding the world only pretending we really wanted to prevent a repetition of what happened during the Oslo peace process where whilst duping the world into actually believing they were TALKING of a just & lasting peace, Israel craftily & illegally settled 100,000s more illegal settlers in the Illegally Occupied West Bank.  During this time all that was achieved was that a corrupt Fatah was further corrupted and bribed into doing some of Israel's dirty work for them, by becoming the prison guards in the Gaza & West Bank concentration camps.  For those of you not aware, these concentration camp enclaves are governed by fear and intimidation and curfews, false imprisonments, armed attacks on indigenous population by Israeli settlers as well as Israeli armed settlers and gassing, shooting, arresting, torturing or beating many of the peaceful protestors - this is what Israel does to the non-violent protestors and then they wonder why a tiny percentage become terrorists.

In our opinion Israel & America have conducted a FARCE for the last 20 years, neither country have any interest whatsoever in any true Justice for Palestine.  It simply doesn't serve their overall strategic regional aspirations.  At least once the oil runs out we will stop our wars of occupation and support for our "prefect Israel" in the middle east, or will we be trying to control and exploit their sunshine (for solar power)?  Will it ever end? Our greed to own or control what isn't ours, maybe one day we can all share the world's abundance and wealth, expertise and technologies. Maybe they will always have something that we want and We have things which they want and need , but it isn't death, grief, despair and exploitation for maximum profit and cheapest oil which has to be purchased in DOLLARS to protect the US economy.

In honour & admiration of Gandhi & the practise of Ahimsa, we advocate strict non-violence & peaceful resistance as our "weapons" in the struggle against the Seige of Gaza & the brutal Occupation of The West Bank.

Palestinian loss of land (dignity, sanity, peace, culture, education, Justice, human rights & loved ones) since 1947

to get loads of info & to see some very informative video which will hopefully motivate you into taking action, emailing some MPs & signing a few petitions.  If people don't protest at such injustices, then the government will simply say they are doing what the people want - is this the sort of world you want your kids or your friends' kids to grow up in?  When they see the explosion of state AND civilian terrorism as they grow up, who do you think they will blame?  It will be us, the generation who appeased Radical Zionist Nationalism and presided over the (to many, especially in the USA, very well hidden or otherwise "sanitised") insidious Genocide of the Palestinians

 

PLEASE - STOP THIS ETHNIC CLEANSING NOW

please email William Hague to ask what is he doing to stop it - other than polite protests, when will the UK demand that the EU & US stops rewarding Israel with trade subsidies - only recently Obama REWARDED Israel's intransigence & extra judicial killings with removal of the tariffs on Israeli Dairy Produce.

*************

Most people want to be friends with the Israelis (and we still are friendly with many of them), but as these truths are revealed (the whole world already knows about the deplorable rocket attacks on Israel) we have started to question our friendships with some Israelis who clearly won't recognise the vast majority of non-violent Palestinians as their equal human brothers and sisters.  The Palestinians who do advocate violence (they were relatively few, but every Israeli act of barbarity tragically increases their numbers), weren't born violent or evil - we need to be brave enough to ask ourselves what are we doing to them to cause this terrible reaction?  How would (and do) other people around the world react to years of Illegal Occupation and or really very brutal Oppression?

Many Israelis who hate the Palestinians and brand them as bloodthirsty revolutionaries, haven't even ever been to the West Bank or Gaza and watched them spending several hours each day just to get through the humilliating checkpoints (frequent stip searches, beatings & foul abuse) to and from work (journeys which would otherwise take minutes not hours), they haven't seen their wife or child dying at a checkpoint whilst being refused permission to pass through to a local hospital.  They haven't seen the indigenous Arabs carrying water to their homes in plastic containers whilst the Arabs' local water is stolen, to fill the settler's swimming pools - as well as being stolen as it is diverted into Israel.  They haven't seen violent religious fanatics attack and occasionally kill their children whilst trying to walk to school.  They haven't seen their olive trees cut down or bulldozed.  They haven't seen their children rounded up and accused of false crimes then thrown in jail, just to prevent them from taking exams and becoming educated and qualified.  They haven't been subjected to brutal soul destroying Apartheid.
