Aznar: “If Israel goes down, we all go down” Why not?! This is for you, Señor
Former Spanish prime minister José María Aznar’s article in The Times of London* “If Israel goes down, we all go down” jumped out of his box of naphthalene balls, in which the Zionist movement and the neo-conservatives put him in, to be preserved till the time when he is required by their godfather Western colonialism, as they see fit to take him out, when they brush off his dust and eliminate the disturbing smell and bring him to face the public once again.
The time has come for José María Aznar to write his above mentioned article when the assault by the “Israeli” commandos on the Mavi Marmara, descending from their helicopters and ascending from their warships without prior notice, opened fire on the unarmed peace activists aiming at delivering humanitarian aid to the starved besieged Gazawis. Activists who, according to the Zionist entity’s armed forces, should not have tried to defend themselves even with whatever rudimentary things they found to do it, sticks, metal pipes and kitchen knives that are normally on board the tourist ship. For the Israelis, they should have (while bleeding) instead invited the assaulters on for tea with the Mavi Marmara’s captain on the ship’s deck. They unknowingly disturbed and annoyed the former Spanish P.M. with their “impoliteness” in resorting to the famous Zionist excuse of “self defense” whenever committing massacres, which obviously IS impolite of them to do so. According to Aznar, they should have sacrificed their lives for “Israel’s” security, safety and prosperity. As for the Gazawis, they are living in abundance and security!
According to Aznar “For far too long now it has been unfashionable in Europe to speak up for Israel. In the wake of the recent incident on board a ship full of anti-Israeli activists in the Mediterranean, it is hard to think of a more unpopular cause to champion.” The former Spanish P.M. should have used rather than “anti Israeli” activists, a different name. Why not call them “humanitarian” activists? They are those who have been aware of the massacres, land and other property theft, ethnic cleansing, and many other forms of war and crimes against humanity that the Zionist entity has been committing against Palestinians and other Arabs for as long as a century and a quarter, since the Zionist invasion of Palestine started in the 1870s, and they wanted to bring aid to people who are victims of that. It is really not their fault if the Zionist entity, through its actions and behavior had forced Europeans and some of their regimes to shift from their full support of it towards at least a shy support to the occupied and terrorized Palestinian Arabs?! (Probably it was really due to European racism against Jews who wanted to “get rid of them” by establishing for them a “homeland” in Palestine and at the same time be able to use them as a front line for Western colonialism in the heart of the Arab homeland?)
Señor Aznar, the Zionist entity – which includes government, armed forces and people, that you champion and consider as your ideal political entity – are nothing but a bunch of thieves. Here is a testimony by an Italian journalist who was on board a smaller ship that was a part of the flotilla. The following is a quote from the Israeli paper Haaretz: Dimi Reider “Italian flotilla journalist: My credit card was used after IDF confiscated it” http://www.haaretz.com/.../italian-flotilla-journalist-my-credit-card-was-used-after-idf-confiscated-it-1 .
After the Israel Navy took over the boat, he said, the soldiers searched every passenger and confiscated everything they found. "They took two cameras, microphones, a stand and other equipment from me and my photographer. They took one of the cameras as I was taking photographs," says Luppichini, who was working for Italy's RAI-3 television and an Italian-Swiss television channel when he was detained.
"Afterward they took my wallet, passport, bag and all personal effects on the boat," he says. “On June 2 he was taken to an Immigration Authority compound and on the following day was deported. Although he showed the document proving Israel had confiscated his passport, he says he was deported without receiving any of his property or identification papers back.
“A few days ago Luppichini discovered that while he was confined in Be'er Sheva and after he was back in Italy – a day after his deportation – purchases were made with his credit card, which the Israeli authorities had confiscated.”
Señor José María Alfredo Aznar López, you as a former prime minister of Spain for eight full years, your country, a European country that used to express more friendship towards Arabs than most European countries, should have been aware of all the daily Zionist atrocities against Palestinians and other Arabs and their lands. Let’s for argument’s sake, say that the Zionist entity has a right to the 1948 (occupied) Palestinian Arab lands, not to say even for argument’s sake, their colonization of the 1967 Arab lands including the West bank of which East Jerusalem is an integral part, the Golan Heights and what is still occupied in south Lebanon. Shall we leave out the Zionist greed for the newly discovered voluminous gas and oil deposits in the territorial waters of Lebanon? Sure Señor Aznar will still have remnants, or actually a lot of the old colonialist ambitions, which still rely on the Zionist entity to fulfill as a front line for western colonialism.
I am not trying to play on religious sectarian differences, Señor José María Alfredo Aznar López, may we tell you a small story about one outstanding leader amongst your dear Zionist friends, the first Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, David Ben Gurion: When president John F. Kennedy bothered him a BIT about his atomic arsenal, he commented, “I don’t like to have a Catholic in the White House”. But Ben Gurion’s problem with you is that all Spaniards are Catholics, don’t worry, Ben Gurion has long been dead, and you proved your double loyalty!!!
Here is a nice joke by the funny ex prime minister, José María Aznar proceeded saying something that no self-respecting human being would say: “In an ideal world, the assault by Israeli commandos on the Mavi Marmara would not have ended up with nine dead and a score wounded. In an ideal world, the soldiers would have been peacefully welcomed on to the ship. In an ideal world, no state, let alone a recent ally of Israel such as Turkey, (Turkey seems at last became aware with what sort of a state it was dealing with in the past as part of the NATO) would have sponsored and organised a flotilla whose sole purpose was to create an impossible situation for Israel: making it choose between giving up its security policy and the naval blockade, or risking the wrath of the world.” Is risking the security of a colonialist racist entity that requires the enslavement, occupation and at last the annihilation of the indigenous population part of your idea of an “ideal world”? This is a land that is promoted as having been promised by a private God to specific people alone, actually the converted Turkish tribes into a certain religion, these invaders claim sole rights to the land of Palestine which was earlier called the “Land of Canaan” noting the Canaanites are of Arab origin, though it is clear that they, Zionist Jews, came from the far ends of the world. Those invading commandos, Señor Aznar ascended from their helicopters while opening fire on the activists for “a reasonable reason”, to avenge the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan for breaking his strategic alliance with this rogue state.
According to you, Señor Aznar, the Zionist commandos should not be welcomed only with a cup of tea, but a very lavish banquet should have been prepared to honor these “humanitarian” commandos in spite of the nine martyrs and over fifty wounded shot by them. Zionist authorities agree with Señor Aznar, that the activists should not have defended themselves! And this is an incredible irony in a country that names its army “Defence Force”.
We, Señor Aznar, the descendents of the original Christians of the world who came from the holy land, and who suffered with their other Arab brothers and sisters, including our Muslim compatriots, Arab Muslims, and non-Zionist Arab Jews at the hands of those imported converted Zionist Jews, and their allies the so-called “Christian Zionists”, the believers in the Bible of the Babylonian myths, and not in the peaceful Jesus Christ, and what Aznar insisted as legitimate with his, “Israel is a fundamental part of the West. The West is what it is thanks to its Judeo-Christian roots.” The roots of Western and the original Eastern Christianity lie in Christ’s Gospels, which came to correct the myths of the racist part of Judaism, which Christian Zionists adopt and wage wars to fulfill its myths. Señor Aznar, George W. Bush’s student, who calls national resistance against Zionist and American occupation and terrorism, “terrorism”, which is what Zionism and other sorts of colonialism call “jihadis”. We wonder what Señor Aznar calls those Zionist invaders, both the racist, extremist religious Orthodox and the so-called secularists, who believe in the annihilation/assassination even of the peaceful Arab civilians, this applies also to the equally racist Neo-conservatives. What justification would those Neo-conservatives give for the invasion and the full destruction of Iraq except for the insistence of the Zionist entity: here is what a high ranking “Israeli” official said about this matter, which proves the colonialist character of Zionism:
“Israel: We Destroyed Iraq.. Iraq must Stay Divided and Isolated – The Oil of Northern Iraq will Flow into Israel!

“Avi Dichter, the Israeli Internal Security Minister, said in a lecture at the ‘Israeli National Security Research Center’ “about the Israeli role in destroying Iraq after it was occupied in 2003 “we achieved in Iraq more than we expected and plan!” Dichter confirmed that keeping Iraq weak and isolated is an Israeli national interest.
“Weakening and isolating Iraq is no less important than weakening and isolating Egypt,” he said. Weakening and isolating Egypt done by diplomatic methods while everything is done to do achieve a complete and comprehensive isolation to Iraq”, Dachter added.
“Iraq has vanished as a military force and as a united country. Our strategic option is to keep it divided,” he added.”
This is what Zionism is. This is its colonialist characteristic, that aims at exploiting the third world and sucking it dry.
Aznar added: “A reasonable and balanced approach should encapsulate the following realities: first, the state of Israel was created by a decision of the UN. Its legitimacy, therefore, should not be in question.” But we should remind the former prime minister how and why the Zionist entity was created: John Quigley, wrote in his “Palestine and Israel: A Challenge to Justice.”
“By this time [November 1947] the United States had emerged as the most aggressive proponent of partition…The United States got the General Assembly to delay a vote ‘to gain time to bring certain Latin American republics into line with its own views.’…Some delegates charged U.S. officials with ‘diplomatic intimidation.’ Without ‘terrific pressure’ from the United States on ‘governments which cannot afford to risk American reprisals,’ said an anonymous editorial writer, the resolution ‘would never have passed.’” President Harry Truman said: ““I am sorry gentlemen, but I have to answer to hundreds of thousands who are anxious for the success of Zionism. I do not have hundreds of thousands of Arabs among my constituents.” President Harry Truman, quoted in “Anti Zionism”, ed. by Teikener, Abed-Rabbo & Mezvinsky.
Palestinian Arab writer, Sami Hadawi, wrote in his book, “Bitter Harvest.” In response to the question: “Was the partition plan fair to both Arabs and Jews?”
“Arab rejection was…based on the fact that, while the population of the Jewish state was to be [only half] Jewish with the Jews owning less than 10% of the Jewish state land area, (In 1948 Jews owned less than 6% of the area of Palestine that included public property Palestinian land that the British mandate authorities leased to the imported Jews for 99 years at nominal fees) the Jews were to be established as the ruling body – a settlement which no self-respecting people would accept without protest, to say the least…The action of the United Nations conflicted with the basic principles for which the world organization was established, namely, to uphold the right of all peoples to self-determination. By denying the Palestine Arabs, who formed the two-thirds majority of the country, the right to decide for themselves, the United Nations had violated its own charter.”
Would the “honorable” former Spanish P.M. challenge the credibility of this statement. Which proves that the partition resolution was reached, as President Truman and John Quigley clearly said by the U.S. Administration delaying the voting on the resolution by force several times before it allowed the UN General Assembly to vote on the resolution? Small states were pressured and bribed to shift from voting against or abstaining to achieve the required two thirds majority vote, which ended in giving 55% of an Arab land to the imported one third of the population at the time, people who were smuggled into Palestine with the help of the British, actually self-mandated authorities, and were still not yet even by the legality of the British occupation authorities, granted Palestinian identity cards, while the owners of the land – who formed 67% of the population – were given 42% of their own land (3% was the international Jerusalem zone). We also shouldn’t forget the two colonialist arrangements, Sykes Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration, both colonialist arrangements reached among themselves without consulting with the lawful owners of the land, Palestinian Arabs. Our own land was split into bits and pieces of political entities to make it easy to put under the so-called mandate (colonization) and hence create a “Jewish homeland in Palestine” a Zionist entity, within it the aim of continuing the colonization of the Arab homeland the wealth of which Aznar is worried about.. This is what is the aim of erecting the front line for “Judeo/Christian Western civilization” in our Arab homeland is all about!!!
Again the Neo-conservative Aznar puts the blame on the indigenous Palestinians, partly Muslim Arab population for resisting Western colonialism as if we have to willingly allow our subjugation to Zionist inclined colonialist powers. What they call extremism, whether Islamic or any other religious or national resistance, was caused by occupation. Had there been no occupation or attempt to occupy a people and a land, would there be a need of a rise of resistance? Which occupied European people didn’t rise up to resist a foreign occupation? Examples are numerous during WW I and WW II starting with France and not ending with Russia, not to speak of Asia where the best example was Vietnamese resistance, and that of the African and American peoples. Of course, though what is now The United States of America was colonized by settlers of British origin, they revolted against direct British rule and expelled it.
Aznar proceeded saying: “The real threats to regional stability, however, are to be found in the rise of a radical Islamism which sees Israel’s destruction as the fulfillment of its religious destiny and, simultaneously in the case of Iran, as an expression of its ambitions for regional hegemony. Both phenomena are threats that affect not only Israel, but also the wider West and the world at large. Of course, Aznar expects that our primary worry, we the colonized Arabs by Western colonialism, should be the security and safety of the west and its coddled baby: “Israel”, and not our own safety and security. On the other hand, throughout history Jews had never been treated and considered as full citizens except among Arabs back in history and up till recently.
Sami Hadawi, http://www.passia.org/ added in his book: “[During the Middle Ages,] North Africa and the Arab Middle East became places of refuge and a haven for the persecuted Jews of Spain and elsewhere…In the Holy Land…they lived together in [relative] harmony, a harmony only disrupted when the Zionists began to claim that Palestine was the ‘rightful’ possession of the ‘Jewish people’ to the exclusion of its Muslim and Christian inhabitants.”
Aznar proceeds saying. “The core of the problem lies in the ambiguous and often erroneous manner in which too many Western countries are now reacting to this situation. It is easy to blame Israel for all the evils in the Middle East. Some even act and talk as if a new understanding with the Muslim world could be achieved if only we were prepared to sacrifice the Jewish state on the altar. This would be folly.” Definitely this is partly the truth, the Zionist entity is where it doesn’t belong and its greed for more land to occupy is endless, and that is why bloodshed shall never end unless “Zionists” go back, as Helen Thomas said, to their own homelands to where hundreds of thousands of “Israeli” Jews who lately, but better than never, discovered that they don’t belong in occupied Palestine; so at least 700,000 of them left occupied Palestine, it is not our worry where they ended up living.
Millions of Jews around the world are as adamant to end Zionist occupation of Palestine and its surroundings, and they struggle with Arabs for the purpose, but please don’t be too foolish to call us anti-Semites, and the anti-Zionist Jews as self-hating Jews, because they are the contrary, because they fight Zionism for their own safety, as it is a self-destructive movement.
Aznar goes further and deeper to express his colonialist attitude, policy and beliefs, he added, “Israel is our first line of defence in a turbulent region that is constantly at risk of descending into chaos; a region vital to our energy security owing to our over-dependence on Middle Eastern oil; a region that forms the front line in the fight against extremism. If Israel goes down, we all go down. To defend Israel’s right to exist in peace, within secure borders, (where are these borders to worry about their security, ex PM?) requires a degree of moral and strategic clarity that too often seems to have disappeared in Europe. The United States shows worrying signs of heading in the same direction.” By saying that “Israel” is the first line of defense, he should instead say its first line of colonization and theft of our homelands’ fortunes and a jumping board to control its resources and suck it dry. Also to keep our people occupied with this enemy that the West finances and arms so as not to develop our land and improve the standard of life for our people. One of the vital reasons for the establishment of the Zionist entity in the Arab homeland is being a vital source of energy for the peoples of the world. But why should the west worry about its supplies? The Arab people need to sell its oil production, otherwise producing it, good friends deserve priority in good treatment?!
“To defend Israel’s right to exist in peace, within secure borders…” Did Aznar ask himself who prevents the Zionist entity from living in peace except “Israel” itself? It doesn’t want peace because it is never satisfied with the Arab lands it has already stolen and the number of Arabs it has uprooted from their homes and land."
A cousin of none else than Benjamin Netanyahu, Jonathan Ben-Artzi wrote "Because of the US’s relationship with Israel, it is important for all Americans to educate themselves about the realities of the conflict. When they do, they will realize that just as much as support for South Africa decades ago was mostly damaging for South Africa itself, contemporary blind support for Israel hurts us Israelis."
Concluding our comments on Señor Aznar’s article, we say that it is a shame for Aznar and his retired, present and future colleagues to say that their fate as great European powers and of course American powers, relies on the existence of their colonialist racist entity in the heart of the Arab homeland. Of course Aznar’s idolization of the Zionist state of “Israel” with all its criminal past and presence is a debasing of all the values that Western civilization values and cherishes.
But may we search for a personal excuse for his adopting these racist and colonialist values, which totally contradict Christian values he claims that he wants to defend, on the contrary he wants to defend the racist colonialist Judeo-Zionist values that could possibly grant him credentials with the Zionist Neo-conservatives so that he might obtain his old position once again?!
According to Aznar “For far too long now it has been unfashionable in Europe to speak up for Israel. In the wake of the recent incident on board a ship full of anti-Israeli activists in the Mediterranean, it is hard to think of a more unpopular cause to champion.” The former Spanish P.M. should have used rather than “anti Israeli” activists, a different name. Why not call them “humanitarian” activists?

To defend Israel’s right to exist in peace, within secure borders, (where are these borders to worry about their security, ex PM?) requires a degree of moral and strategic clarity that too often seems to have disappeared in Europe. The United States shows worrying signs of heading in the same direction.” By saying that “Israel” is the first line of defense, he should instead say its first line of colonization and theft of our homelands’ fortunes and a jumping board to control its resources and suck it dry. Also to keep our people occupied with this enemy that the West finances and arms so as not to develop our land and improve the standard of life for our people. One of the vital reasons for the establishment of the Zionist entity in the Arab homeland is being a vital source of energy for the peoples of the world. But why should the west worry about its supplies? The Arab people need to sell its oil production, otherwise producing it, good friends deserve priority in good treatment?!
“To defend Israel’s right to exist in peace, within secure borders…” Did Aznar ask himself who prevents the Zionist entity from living in peace except “Israel” itself? It doesn’t want peace because it is never satisfied with the Arab lands it has already stolen and the number of Arabs it has uprooted from their homes and land."
A cousin of none else than Benjamin Netanyahu, Jonathan Ben-Artzi wrote "Because of the US’s relationship with Israel, it is important for all Americans to educate themselves about the realities of the conflict. When they do, they will realize that just as much as support for South Africa decades ago was mostly damaging for South Africa itself, contemporary blind support for Israel hurts us Israelis."
Concluding our comments on Señor Aznar’s article, we say that it is a shame for Aznar and his retired, present and future colleagues to say that their fate as great European powers and of course American powers, relies on the existence of their colonialist racist entity in the heart of the Arab homeland. Of course Aznar’s idolization of the Zionist state of “Israel” with all its criminal past and presence is a debasing of all the values that Western civilization values and cherishes.
But may we search for a personal excuse for his adopting these racist and colonialist values, which totally contradict Christian values he claims that he wants to defend, on the contrary he wants to defend the racist colonialist Judeo-Zionist values that could possibly grant him credentials with the Zionist Neo-conservatives so that he might obtain his old position once again?!
