The New Observer — April 21, 2016

The West’s media—under orders to censor any news of Jewish supremacism—has refused to publicize this week’s massive hate rally attended by thousands of Jews in Tel Aviv which called for all Arabs to be killed.

The Western media’s blackout is in marked contrast to their blanket coverage of the tiniest example of what it calls “white racism.”

The Tel Aviv rally—organized to support an Israeli soldier who murdered a wounded Palestinian by shooting him in the head as the victim lay on his back—was marked by chants and banners calling for mass murder.

The rally took place on Tuesday evening, April 19, in Tel Aviv’s Yitzhak Rabin Square, and the many thousands of Jews in the crowd were, according to reports in the Israeli media, baying for blood.

One Jewish reporter, Dan Cohen, tweeted that many in the crowd chanted, “Death to Arabs,” a frequently heard rallying cry at anti-Palestinian demonstrations.

Israeli citizens hold Israeli flags and banners during a rally in Tel Aviv on April 19, 2016 to support Elor Azria, an Israeli soldier recently charged with manslaughter after shooting a prone and wounded Palestinian assailant in the head. The rally, attended by an estimated 5,000 people, was a source of controversy in Israel where the top brass have condemned Azria’s actions while far-right supporters and politicians urged his release.

Ahmed Tibi, a Palestinian lawmaker in Israel’s parliament, posted an image of a sign displayed at the rally reading, “Kill them all.”

Several Israeli pop icons were also scheduled to entertain the rally-goers, including singers Moshik Afia, Maor Edri, and Amos Elgali, as well as rapper Subliminal, theIsraeli news service Ynet reported.

Ynet also reported that the “protesters waved support signs and flags, some wrapping the Israeli flag around themselves. Many called for Azaria’s release, while some made racist jeers.”

In addition, Ynet reported, among the slogans chanted by rally attendees were “Elor the Hero,” “Terrorists shouldn’t be neutralized—they should be killed,” and “Kill or be killed.”

The rally was organized by Sharon Gal, an Israeli journalist and former lawmaker, and was addressed by the parents of the soldier, named as Elor Azaria.

The controlled media’s hypocrisy in refusing to give coverage to the Jewish hate fest rally can best be revealed by positing the following theoretical situation:

What would happen if thousands of whites gathered in any city around the world—Berlin, London, Paris, Washington, Toronto, Adelaide, or anywhere—and chanted “death to Arabs” (or “death to blacks,” or “death to Jews”), and held up banners reading “Kill them all”?

In such a situation, the controlled media would be all over such an event, and it would be carried on every TV news broadcast, day and night, and in every newspaper, for weeks on end.

The Anti-Defamation League and all other Jewish organizations would issue “shock and horror” statements, condemn the “evil racists” and demand state action

However, because it is Jews, in Israel, behaving like this, the controlled media simply ignores it—as does the ADL and all the other Jewish Supremacist lobbies around the world.

* The original incident, which took place on March 24, is in itself instructive of the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The town of Hebron is located deep inside sovereign Palestinian territory, and contains an illegal Jewish settlement with some 500 radical Jews who aim to expel all the Palestinians from the West Bank.

Although the Jewish settlement is illegal, is still officially protected by the Israeli army.

As a result, Hebron has been the scene of repeated clashes between Palestinians forcibly objecting to the illegal Jewish colonization of their land, and the settlers (and the Israeli army).

Since October 2015, Palestinian attackers have killed at least 29 Israelis in stabbing and shooting incidents, and the Israeli army has killed at least 206 Palestinians, including protesters, bystanders, and attackers.

Of that total, at least 57 were from the Hebron area.

The latest incident—which sparked the Tel Aviv rally—took place when a Palestinian, identified as Abed al Fatah a-Sharif, and one of his friends, attacked an Israeli army patrol in the Tel Rumeida district of Hebron.

The two Palestinians wounded an Israeli soldier by stabbing him in the back. Both Palestinians were however quickly shot by the other soldiers.

As the still alive a-Sharif lay sprawled in the road, only moving his head, the Israeli soldier stepped forward and shot him in the head, execution style.

The shooting was filmed by a bystander and quickly spread on the Internet.

As a result of the film’s emergence, the Israeli soldier was arrested and charged with murder—but after a public outcry in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for “leniency”—and the charge was downgraded to manslaughter.

A second video, released shortly afterward, shows the Israeli executioner then shaking hands with one of the illegal settlers in Hebron, named as US-born Baruch Marzel.

Marzel is a former leader of the Kach party, which was so extreme that it was banned in Israel after another of its members, the US-born medical doctor Baruch Goldstein, gunned down 29 Palestinians at Hebron’s Ibrahimi mosque in 1994.
