The Zionist Infestation Of Africa Revisited: The More Details, The More Devils

by Jonathan Azaziah

There is simply no end to
the rape, plunder and pillage
that Africa has endured at the
hands of international Zionism.

As the cliché famously goes when one attempts to point out the mysterious or little-known intricacies of a certain historical event, “the devil is in the details.” An extension of this idiom, when it is applied to the shadowy world of the tribal supremacist persons who govern geopolitics through their kinship networks that extend throughout every sector of society, would most aptly be, “the more details, the more devils.” And nowhere is this addendum more appropriately put to use than the ravaged continent of Africa.

In Mask of Zion’s first report on Jewish-Zionist intrigues in Africa, “The Zionist Infestation Of Africa: Zimbabwe To Uganda, Congo To Somalia And Beyond (1),” numerous nations, events and figures were investigated and a plethora of previously suppressed or unknown truths were brought to light for the very first time. This second summary will expound upon many of these revelations, exposing new players, going behind the curtains of new nations and returning to critical plot points already discussed to present an even more damning account of the overall agenda of the Jewish exploitation machine vigorously gnawing at the core of the African continent. Thus, “the more details, the more devils,” and assuredly, the following will not contain a shortage of either.

The Zionist entity has
stolen so much water
from Palestine, it must now
thieve from Sudan, Egypt
and Libya to sustain its
criminal existence.
The Zionist Entity’s Water Wars: Sudan, Egypt and Libya

Abdullahi Al Azreg, Sudan’s Ambassador to Britain, recently gave a stunningly candid interview to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Press TV in regards to the ongoing conflict between his nation and the artificial country known as “South Sudan”. Ambassador Al Azreg stated unequivocally that the South Sudan regime was engaged in a “proxy war to execute the projects of the Zionist movement”; he further declared them “puppets,” not only carrying out “designs” against Khartoum itself but “other Muslim and Arab countries.” He slammed Jewish Hollywood as a prime mover and shaker against Sudan and accurately noted that the “Save Darfur” campaign was the product of several powerful American Jewish organizations. He also pegged the seemingly nonstop propaganda against Sudan as “mainly Zionist propaganda (2).” These admissions are echoed and fully documented by an abyssal Mask of Zion investigative report on Jewish Hollywood’s symbiotic relationship with the usurping Zionist entity and how it routinely targets the enemies of “Israel” through its films, television shows and actors (3).

What lies at the heart of the criminal Zionist regime’s subversion of Sudan, beyond the obvious prize of oil and the immediate objective of balkanization, is blue-gold; water, lots and lots of water, and not just any body of water either, but the ancient Nile River itself. This plot, developed in 1974 and known as the “Yeor Plan”, would see Nile water diverted from Egypt’s northern Sinai region through tunnels underneath the Suez Canal and ultimately, through the illegally besieged Gaza Strip into al-Naqab, referred to by occupying “Israeli” Jews as the “Negev”. The Zionist regime initially suggested that 1% of the Nile’s precious water would be sufficient for its needs. The problem with this seemingly tiny amount however, was that the 1% desired by usurping Jewish entity belonged to Sudan. Despite the Zionists’ ambitions and the notorious Egyptian collaborationist Anwar el-Sadat’s treacherous willingness to oblige them, Egypt could not transfer any of its water resources unilaterally; it needed approval from its Nile partners: Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Zaire (4). The only nation here that was operating from a staunch anti-Zionist stance of course, was Sudan, and disapproval from just one of the nine nations, invalidated any such dispersal objectives. Sudan had to be ruined and put under control for the Jewish supremacist enclave’s “H2O hegemony” could be established.

The usurping Jewish regime
is not subverting its North
African enemies for oil and
land alone as it is so often
said; "Israel" wants their
precious "blue-gold."
The Yeor Plan was concocted because “Israel” is suffering, and has always suffered from a water crisis and thus far, it has proved to be completely incapable of solving it, generating more and more political instability with each passing moment (5). This is due to the Zionist occupiers being nothing more than the equivalents of parasites. They consume, consume and consume, caring not in the slightest about the land they are literally bleeding dry (6). Every one of the rivers that flourished with pristineness before the advent of Zionism is now polluted, some to devastatingly deadly levels, except the Upper Jordan. The Lower Jordan on the other hand is used by the usurping, occupying Jews as nothing more than a dumping ground. 88% of the wells in the occupation capital of Tel Aviv are polluted, and this is just the tip of the iceberg (7).

The Zionist land thieves can’t turn to the water in the occupied West Bank because of their policies of “water occupation” and “water apartheid”, in which they systematically destroy Palestinian water wells while hoarding hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water, insanely forcing Palestinians to buy their own water back at criminally inflated prices and taking over major aquifers throughout the territory, effectively denying the aboriginal Palestinian people of one of their most basic human rights. These cruel Zionist efforts are being aided by Britain (8), the Talmudist Rothschild family’s “homebase” and great colonial pillager of Africa. And in illegally besieged Gaza, the situation is even more daunting. An astonishing 95% of the water in the Strip is undrinkable thanks to Jewish contamination, specifically the ungodly bombing campaign carried out by the “Israeli” terrorist army during Operation Cast Lead. Additionally, due to this, hundreds of Palestinian babies in the world’s largest open air prison are suffering from “blue baby syndrome,” a horrific disease of immune system deficiency and disfigurement (9). The hateful usurping entity doesn’t mind the children of non-Jews suffering because of poisoned water but it would never subject its own “tribe” to such horrors. Hence why it needs Africa’s blue-gold.

Egyptian giant Gamal
Abdul Nasser: assassinated
by Zionist asset Anwar
el-Sadat.
Without the collusion of the aforementioned Anwar el-Sadat, arguably the Arab World’s filthiest collaborationist, the Yeor Plan wouldn’t even be a remote possibility. In fact, to take it a step further, if the great Arab nationalist leader Gamal Abdul Nasser was alive, not even the dream of such a plot would have made its way into reality. And this is why Nasser, the usurping Jewish entity’s arch-nemesis, “had to go”. A longtime target of Mossad and CIA operations, President Nasser died untimely at the age of 52 on September 28th, 1970. Eyewitness testimony confirms that none other than Anwar el-Sadat himself is responsible for poisoning the legendary Nasser on behalf of his “Israeli” and American masters. Nasser didn’t “die of natural causes” as it is commonly repeated in mainstream historical discourse, he was assassinated (10). El-Sadat, a self-hating Arab, immediately hijacked the Egyptian presidency in the wake of Nasser’s death, and began implementing initiatives to spread sectarian hatred throughout society, cheapen Islam for imperial objectives and de-Arabize Egyptian culture (11), all to the great pleasure of “Israel” and the Zionist-occupied governments of the West. Nasser of course, was vehemently anti-sectarian and did everything in his power to preserve Muslim and Egyptian unity (12).

While Egypt was being subverted on a cultural, societal and political level by their proxy el-Sadat, the Zionists deepened their presence in the North African giant that had already been in effect for decades prior. Operation Susannah was the first, in which Egyptian-Jewish Aman operatives posed as Arabs and attempted to detonate explosives inside Egyptian, American and British targets; the goal was to foment a Western proxy war against Nasser so “Israel” could retake the Suez Canal. The event is known today as the Lavon Affair. Most infamous of all is easily the Mossad-CIA conspiracy known as “Operation Cyanide”, in which Egypt was to be blamed for an attack on an American Navy ship, thus triggering World War Three. The operation spun out of control and is now known as the USS Liberty Massacre. Since 1978, at least 15 “Israeli” spy networks have been dismantled within Egypt. Former Shin Bet head and Zionist war criminal Avi Dichter declared openly to a crowd at the “Israeli” National Security Research Center on May 26, 2010 that weakening Egypt was vital to the very foundation of the Zionist entity’s foreign policy (13).

Much of the Zionist regime's
subversion in Egypt focuses
on breaking up the unity
between Muslims and
Christians.
On New Year’s Day 2011, Mossad detonated a car bomb right outside of al-Qiddissin Coptic Church in Alexandria, murdering at least 25 innocent people, just one week after yet another “Israeli” spy network was uncovered. The usurping Jewish regime’s international intelligence directorate was spying on Egyptian government officials, attempting to penetrate Islamic opposition groups and infiltrating Egyptian telecommunications firms to strengthen other Zionist espionage networks in Lebanon and Syria. The objective of the bombing was to provoke Muslim-Christian tension. Thankfully, this failed miserably (14). Only a few weeks after the murderous attack came the “Egyptian Revolution”, which the Zionist entity had its hands in with its proxy, the April 6 Youth Movement, a group of westernized House Arabs bankrolled by Jewish capitalist strongmen, Peter Ackerman and George Soros. The aims of the April 6 Youth Movement were to subvert the real revolutionary fervor of the Egyptian people and secure the installation of a regime like that of el-Sadat’s equally treasonous successor, Hosni Mubarak (15). Currently, as per the 1982 plan of Oded Yinon, “A Strategy For Israel In The 1980s”, the usurping entity has used the chaos of the “Egyptian Revolution” to launch a full-scale intelligence assault on Egypt to reoccupy the Sinai (16), a clear scheme to compliment and facilitate the Yeor Plan.

NATO, the attack dog of
international Zionism,
murdered more than
100,000 Libyans including
al-Qadhdhafi himself, in
another Jewish-designed
genocide.
Directly tied to the Jewish-Zionist designs for Sudan and Egypt is the once-glorious North African nation of Libya. Another target of Oded Yinon’s nefarious policy paper (17), Libya has been ravaged by NATO and its proxy militias in another stratagem designed by the forces of international Zionism: UN Watch, a Zionist-headed affiliate of the American Jewish Committee, AIPAC’s foreign policy wing, and the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), a Jewish-Zionist nest of the same neoconservative war criminals responsible for masterminding the annihilation of Iraq. The demolition of Libya began on the Jewish revenge holiday of Purim, like Iraq before it, and as of this moment, at least 100,000 innocent lives have been claimed, including women, children and Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhdhafi himself (18). Apart from thieving Libya’s oil and gold, a central objective of the Zionist war on Libya was to disassemble al-Qadhdhafi’s Great Manmade River and have several Zionist firms rebuild it, establishing a neoliberal stranglehold over Libya’s entire water supply (19).

At the peak of the Zionist-engineered aggression, NATO warplanes not only indiscriminately bombed the Great Manmade River, Earth’s largest irrigation project, leveling it and terribly contaminating it beyond measure, but the only factory that made replacement pipes for it. The Zionist-controlled mainstream media buried this crime against humanity, this act of unadulterated malevolence, with deceptive coverage of the ungodly massacre of Norwegian teenagers on Utøya Island, reporting it as the work of a lone gunman instead of the real perpetrator: the usurping Jewish entity’s Mossad (20). The Great Manmade River was providing water and irrigation to at least 70% of the Libyan people, in addition to serving as an asset for Libya to challenge “Israeli”-Egyptian hegemony over the vegetable-export market in Europe. A key element of the Great Manmade River’s functioning is the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, largest fossil water aquifer system in the world, which lies beneath Libya, Egypt, Sudan and Chad (21). It should be noted that Chad has been used as a staging ground by the usurping Zionist entity and its American marionettes to destabilize Libya since the 1980s (22).

The US and the EU,
the Zionist Power
Configuration's
vultures, left
Libya ravaged
so "Israel" could
control its water.
By sabotaging and subsequently laying waste to Egypt, Sudan and Libya in three balkanizing “water wars”, the Jewish occupation regime will then be able to assert its dominance over the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System and the Great Manmade River, in addition to the obvious perk of knocking off three of its sworn and most hated enemies in its quest for “Greater Israel.” The three prospective agents of ushering in this new age of Imperium Judaica’s hegemony over North Africa’s water resources are Veolia (formerly Vivendi), Suez Ondeo (formerly Generale des Eaux) and Saur, Zionist-French multinational behemoths that control over 40% of the global water market (23). Veolia in particular is an ultra-Zionist firm, with deep ties to the usurping Jewish entity and its closest ally, the House of Saud. The Zionist-French mega-corporation is complicit in monstrous human rights abuses across occupied Palestine, from the West Bank to al-Quds, as it provides direct services to the “Israeli” institutions that uphold the tyranny, from the IOF to the illegal Jewish settlements (24). Veolia will no doubt be the chief executor of Zionism’s Yeor Plan.

A man by the name of Jean-Luc Touly, who was employed as an accountant at Veolia/Vivendi for 30 years, blew the whistle on the origins of these multinational water giants. They were created more than 150 years ago. And they were created by bankers (25). At that point in history (and really, at this point in history too), the word “banker” was dead-on synonymous with the phrases “Rothschild family” and “Rothschild lieutenant”, and France, a mighty colonial power, was (and still is) under the jackboot of this predatory plutocratic Jewish dynasty, lock, stock and barrel (1). To this very moment, Veolia/Vivendi is being advised by the Rothschilds (26). It is fitting that a creation of the International Jewish Money Power, stays with the International Jewish Money Power. And it is equally fitting that Africa, raped and pillaged repeatedly and incessantly by Rothschild-financed colonialism for centuries, is being prepped for this creation, this three-headed Zionist “water monster”, to hurt it and torment it even more.

The United States government, in just one of the many glaring signs that all of its mechanisms of governance have been through a process of “Israelification”, has just declassified a document which states that water-based conflicts will threaten its “national security interests” in the near and distant future. One of the water bodies mentioned is none other than the Nile River (27). American “national security interests” under threat? No, the Zionist entity’s. And as per the 1975 MOU between the United States and “Israel” that stipulates America must fulfill the energy needs of the Jewish occupation regime whenever it is necessary to do so (28), it is definite that this study was conducted at the behest of Zionist interests. And, with “Israel” growing closer to the fabricated regime in South Sudan with each passing day, a dastardly military-intelligence relationship that dates back to at least 1967 (29), it is also clear that the water wars against Sudan, Libya and Egypt are, unfortunately, ongoing Zionist projects.

MASHAV, a
"humanitarian aid"
front for the Jewish
occupation entity's
Foreign Ministry,
has penetrated deep
into Africa.
The Union Of “Israel” And USAID: A Match Made In Hell

On April 23rd, 2012, the treacherous USAID signed an MOU with its “Israeli” counterpart, MASHAV, a subordinate of the Zionist occupation regime’s Foreign Ministry. As if to brag about the closeness between the two subversives, MASHAV director Daniel Carmon said, “This agreement is not the start of the relationship; it is the continuing and the strengthening of the relationship.” The MOU was designed to increase USAID-MASHAV cooperation in the field of “food security” for four African nations: Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Rwanda, all proxies of the Jewish terror “state.” The MOU is the first of its kind (30); it has taken the lengthy cooperation between USAID and MASHAV, as confirmed by Carmon, from the covert realm to the public eye.

“Food security” is merely a front however. The eerie name of the initiative is “Feed The Future,” and one of the key areas that MASHAV will be focusing on is water and irrigation technologies (31). The only “future” that this new overt USAID-MASHAV axis is going to be “feeding” is the usurping Zionist entity’s appetite for more water wars. Jordanian political science professor Ghazi al-Rababah has correctly observed that “Israel” plans to fight multiple water wars over the next 7 years, not only in North Africa where Egypt will be target number one, but also in Lebanon over the ancient Litani River, which the Zionist dragon stole hundreds of millions of cubic meters of water from during its savage 22-year occupation of the South (32). The “Feed The Future” plot of USAID and MASHAV will undoubtedly assist in these expansionist war plans.

USAID, run by
Jewish-Zionist
Donald K. Steinberg,
is MASHAV's
"American" partner
in crime.
Mask of Zion’s first study of Zionism in Africa rigorously documented the extensive relationships between the Talmudic occupation enclave and Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Rwanda though, was only mentioned in passing due to Mask of Zion's investigation of Jewish-Zionist Donald K. Steinberg, current controller of USAID and longtime US State Department stalwart who advised the “philo-Semitic” war criminal Clinton administration to turn a blind eye to the Rwandan Genocide (1). It is completely certain that the destructive USAID-MASHAV partnership was spearheaded by “Israel-firster” Steinberg and, it is also completely certain that he helped cover up the Rwanda Genocide because his beloved Zionist entity was in the thick of it, at the core of it, organizing, plotting and directing, unbeknownst to the majority of the world.

The Rwandan Genocide wasn’t a product of years of ethnic tension between Hutu and Tutsi as it so familiarly repeated in parrot-like fashion, an assessment awash in colonialist and orientalist undertones and overtones. It was the result of Zionist-Western intrigue, neocolonialism and intelligence operations at the highest levels. A devilish assassination was the spark of the massacres and ethnic cleansing that eventually became genocide. Juvénal Habyarimana, the third president of Rwanda, was brutally murdered on April 6th, 1994 when his plane was shot down by the forces of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), led by current Rwandan President Paul Kagame, who holds office despite being accused of a plethora of war crimes (33). This was the culmination of seditious warfare that began in late 1990, when Kagame’s RPF invaded from Zionist proxy state Uganda, with backing, funds and arms from the CIA and the US State Department. Jewish-Zionist war criminal Madeline Albright, in collusion with Kofi Annan, covered up the origins of the RPF and its atrocities at the UN (34).

Rwandan war criminal Paul Kagame
with Zionist mass murderer Benjamin
Netanyahu (real name: Benjamin
Mileikowsky); Kagame was and
is the frontman for "Israeli"
intrigue in Rwanda.
Kagame was fully backed by the Zionist-occupied governments of America, Britain and, “Israel” itself provided direct support as well. Mossad agents were embedded with Kagame’s RPF from 1990 until the genocide concluded in 1994 (35). The primary mover and shaker in the horrific travesty of humanity that unfolded in Rwanda during those years, the war criminal who can be considered the architect of the Rwanda Genocide, was “Israeli” spymaster David Kimche (36), a Zionist godfather who participated in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, designed Mossad’s doctrine and modus operandi, helped found Mossad’s research department, established Mossad’s foothold in Africa in the 1960s as an agent of its Tevel Unit, laid the groundwork for the Sabra and Shatila massacre by building up the Jewish occupation regime’s ties with the Phalangists and a whole host of other services to international Zionism (37).

Kagame, Kimche’s puppet and protégé, surely as a repayment for its help in establishing his rule, has become one of the usurping Jewish entity’s most visible and vocal African allies. He visited occupied Palestine for the 60th anniversary of the Nakba and became initiated in the Jewish religion of “Holocaustianity.” During his visit, he met with “Israeli” war criminals Shimon Peres (real name: Szymon Perski) and Tzipi Livni, as well as Burkina Faso’s President Blaise Compaore (38), another Mossad asset who, with strong “Israeli” support, overthrew and murdered Burkinabé revolutionary leader Thomas Sankara, one of the great freedom fighters of the modern era (1). When it was all said and done, the Mossad-RPF-CIA nexus murdered about one million men, women and children and the majority of the victims were Hutu, not Tutsi as “official history (read: Jewish history)” has it. World opinion on the Rwandan Genocide remains diluted, largely in part to the viral viewing of the critically acclaimed film, “Hotel Rwanda,” which depicts Kagame and his RPF band of slaughterous thugs as heroes (39).

Thanks to Zionist puppet
Kagame, Rwanda and
"Israel" now have
exceedingly brotherly
relations.
This is the final phase of international Zionism’s gutting of Rwanda, spreading hasbara to cover its tracks and fool the world as it has with every other conflict, war and swindle that it has forged since its ascendance to global power. Hotel Rwanda was produced by Lions Gate Films and United Artists, both owned and operated by Zionist Jews, like every other film studio and production company in Jewish Hollywood (3). United Artists is a subsidiary of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), a Jewish “founding father firm” of the entertainment capital of the world that has historical ties to Jewish Organized Crime (40), including the real “boss of bosses”, the real “don of dons”, the powerful and shadowy figure who was known simply as “The Fixer,” Sidney Korshak (41), a Jewish supremacist at heart, as evidenced by his anti-assimilation mentality and vast donations to the Zionist entity (42).

While the interconnected networks of International Jewry indeed intended to keep the domineering role of “Israel” far away from the Rwanda tragedy, its machinations are exposed here for all to see. May the Rwandan people come to know this dark, shocking and potent truth so their martyrs can not only rest in peace once and for all, but so their tormentors, Steinberg, Albright, Kimche, Kagame, his RPF commanders, the Mossad superiors of Kimche and the rest, pay severely for their bloody and pernicious crimes. Rwanda needs its freedom; and the perfect way to start a struggle for it would be to scrap the treachery of USAID and MASHAV, therefore alleviating the East African nation from anymore unnecessary Zionist plunder.

Glencore: the corporate
leviathan founded by
Jewish-Zionist "fugitive
financier" Marc Rich;
currently headed by
Zionist Jew Ivan
Glasenberg.
Glencore: An Empire Of Zionist Criminality Built With African Blood

Marc Rich is a name that is perceived to no longer have relevance in the fields of geopolitics, international finance or global espionage. Marc Rich is a man that is considered to be part of a bygone era. Such perceptions and considerations are drastically inaccurate. Marc Rich is famous for being a “fugitive financier”, a Jewish-Zionist billionaire who spent years on the run from American and international authorities for tax evasion and illegal oil deals, only to be pardoned by war criminal and Zionist stooge Bill Clinton on his last day in office. What is buried about Rich is that he was a lifelong asset of the Zionist entity’s Mossad who conducted business in Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Iran as a means of spying on these nations for “Israel.” Rich was pardoned by Clinton after sledgehammer pressure from “Israeli” leaders like the aforementioned Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak (real name: Ehud Brog), ex-Mossad director Shabtai Shavit and the heaviest hitters of the American Jewish community (43). Rich is central to the thesis of this essay for a reason even more abyssal than the aforesaid details.

The Jewish-Zionist “fugitive financier” is the founder of Glencore (previously Marc Rich and Co. AG), “the biggest company you never heard of,” a multinational commodities trading and mining hulk that has penetrated deep into Africa, including but not even close to limited to Equatorial Guinea, where Glencore owns two oil fields, Ivory Coast, where it is described as the “favorite trader” of the state oil company, and Zambia, where it has a 73% stake in the landlocked Southern African nation’s second largest mining company (44). Glencore is currently headed by “Israeli”-South African Jew Ivan Glasenberg (45).

Rich built Glencore into a world powerhouse through his numerous connections in the intelligence underworld, essentially making it a front for Mossad’s most clandestine operations. Glencore made a killing selling oil to the apartheid regime in South Africa, a brotherly ally of the usurping Zionist entity. It made another killing, literally, in the Congo, through its ties to the Orthodox Jewish “Israeli” war criminal and diamond baron Dan Gertler. Glencore has $4.5 billion worth of holdings in the Congo, via cobalt, gold and copper, and it is all thanks to the Chabadnik Gertler, who reportedly “managed the entire relationship between Glencore and the Congolese government.” Though Rich is out and Glasenberg is in, the Mossad formula of bribing and blackmailing dictatorships across the globe for profit remains (46).

Glencore is a stronghold
of criminal Jewish exploits
built from the ground up
with the blood of innocent
Africans from across the
continent.
Apart from its relationship with Jewish supremacist gangster Gertler, who has the blood of at least 10 million Congolese on his money-grubbing, war-profiteering hands (1), Glencore itself is linked to an abundance of human rights abuses in the Congo. The corporate monster of Zionist intriguers Rich and Glasenberg is exploiting children as young as 10 years old, forcing them to work over 150 feet underground in copper and cobalt mines. It is also dumping raw acid into the Congo’s Luilu River (47). In Zambia, Glencore had a plant shut down due to its excessive emissions of highly toxic acid mist (48).

“The biggest company you never heard of” has now made its way into the Southwestern African nation of Namibia, where it has purchased a majority stake in the Rosh Pinah mine, a major regional zinc and lead producer. It will look next to taking over Namibia’s uranium and gold mines (49). Glencore also has its filthy “chosenite” paws in the zinc mines of Burkina Faso and the nickel mines of Tanzania (50), both puppet states of the Zionist regime.Truly, Glencore, the child of lifetime Mossadnik Marc Rich, is a Zionist criminal empire built with the blood, sweat and tears of millions of Africans for the furtherance of the usurping Jewish entity’s ambitious geopolitical aims.

Conclusion: Under The Thumb Of Jewish Intrigue - Somalia, Mauritania, Morocco, Gambia, Algeria, The Boers And More

The indigenous peoples of Africa weren’t the only ones that the Jewish exploitation machine violated and steamrolled. International Jewish Finance had no problem whatsoever turning on colonialists who weren’t going along with the plan of granting hegemony to “the tribe.” The Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 was a bitter, intra-colonialist conflict fought between the Boers (Afrikaners) and Brits for the domination of the resource-rich land of South Africa. 12,000 native South Africans, 30,000 Boers and 22,000 Brits lost their lives in the three years of bloodshed, with the colonial British army in particular being exceptionally merciless, employing scorched-earth tactics to terrorize the Boers (51).

The pinnacle of Britain’s savagery was its placement of 115,000 indigenous South Africans and 116,572 Boers, predominantly women and children, into filthy and brutal concentration camps, herding them into the mass detention centers like animals. 27,927 Boers died in the camps due to disease and malnourishment. 26,251 of them were women and children, with 22,074 of these children being under 16. Other war crimes included the barbaric execution of POWs, the looting of food supplies and the destruction of livestock. All of this mass murder, torture and besiegement was vigorously fueled by the Jewish Money Power. The ever-ubiquitous Rothschild family, the monolithic Oppenheimer gold, diamond and media dynasty, the influential Jewish networker Barney Barnato (real name: Barnett Isaacs) and Rothschild lieutenants Lionel Phillips and Alfred Beit were the hidden hands behind the Anglo-Boer War, manipulating it every step of the way to bolster their wealth and further their quest for global supremacy (51).

Though the predatory plutocratic Jewish financiers worked behind curtains and moved in the shadows, their plans were exposed by numerous British Parliament members, the British Labor Movement and Irish nationalists. The Anglo-Boer War was damned as a plot “to secure the gold fields of South Africa for cosmopolitan Jews”, in which propaganda was financed by “capitalist Jews” and spread by the “Jewish lords of the press”. It was said that “the financial Jew” was everywhere to be found “operating, directing, inspiring the agencies that have led to this war”. This Jewish cabal was unrepentantly damned as a “financial serpent”. It was the “Jewish factor”, the “Jewish Randlords”, who did everything in their power to cement their “Jew-imperialist design” in South Africa, in “true parasitic fashion (51).” It is pathetic and shameful that the Boers, who fought valiantly against Rothschild-backed Britain, would later go on to establish the Pretoria apartheid regime, which was, as long as it lasted, the Zionist entity’s closest African ally. Moreover, the Anglo-Boer War is exceedingly telling of how pathologically cunning the Jewish Power Configuration is, as it weaves in and out of various circles, making friends out of enemies and enemies out of friends, all for the ultimate benefit of World Jewry.

The Jewish subversion of Africa
is part and parcel of the
ongoing Zionist war on the
Islamic Republic of Iran.
Without question, the current and greatest enemy of international Zionism and the Jewish supremacists who uphold it is the Islamic Republic of Iran, which “Israel” has been mobilizing against, propagandizing against, infiltrating, terrorizing, bombing directly and by proxy, provoking, hurting and subverting since the Islamic Revolution triumphed more than three decades ago ago (52). Africa has become a battleground in the Jewish occupation regime’s war against Iran. Led by incumbent President Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Persian nation has reached out to Senegal, Nigeria, Mauritania, Gambia, Sudan, Eritrea and even Kenya and Uganda over the last several years, much to the dismay of “Israel.” Because of this, the Zionist entity has countered Iran every step of the way, succeeding in its undermining in some cases while maintaining ongoing efforts in others (53). The Jewish “state” is using Iranian efforts in Africa in conjunction with some hardcore hasbara against the Lebanese Islamic Resistance of Hezbollah as pretexts to establish an “international intelligence agency” with “Israel” at the head of it and West Africa being the starting point of its operations (54). There is no limit to Zionist fanatics’ hysteria and desperation.

In November 2009, after months of strenuous diplomatic negotiations, the Zionist entity firmly established its presence in the tiny West African nation of Gambia, building bilateral ties in the fields of telecommunications, construction, electronics, sewage, commerce, agriculture and beyond. Most notably, “Israel” provided the Gambian government with a state-of-the-art irrigation system (55), indubitably for its growing appetite to foment water wars on the continent. One year later, nearly to the day, in what absolutely appeared to be an “Israeli” victory, Gambia cut all of its with the Islamic Revolution and expelled the Persian giant’s diplomats, claiming that Iran was shipping guns and drugs onto its shores (56).

An “Israeli” victory was indeed what it was as the entire affair turned out to be an elaborate farce to humiliate Iran, staged by Mossad’s Gambia station chief, Danny Shinn, who had infiltrated Gambia’s National Drug Enforcement Agency and the State House in the capital city of Banjul (57). Shinn set up a network of assets comprised of ex-regime officials, placing them on Mossad’s payroll, and also provided torture training, weaponry and surveillance equipment to the Gambian military and intelligence sectors through a front company of his (58). The slippery Mossad agent’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but his work is done; Gambia is under the dominion of “Israel”.

Relations between
Mauritania and the
usurping Zionist entity
crumbled to nothing
after the ritualistic
Jewish assault on
Gaza during Operation
Cast Lead.
Relations between Mauritania and the usurping Jewish entity were once thoroughly solid. Autumn 1999 saw Mauritania recognizing the Zionist occupation regime, in a disgraceful public act of treason to the Arab and Islamic worlds. Trade and diplomacy followed, and Zionism had seemingly gained another ally (read: puppet) on the Arab, as well as the African fronts. Mauritania even accepted a most denigrating proposal from the Jewish terror “state” to take on the nuclear waste from the illegal Zionist nuclear weapons haven known as Dimona (59). All of this putrid comradery however, was short-lived. Relations between Nouakchott and Tel Aviv came crashing down with Operation Cast Lead. Outraged at the genocidal aggression that claimed the lives of 1,440 Palestinians, including 431 children, Mauritania shut down the “Israeli” embassy and expelled all Zionist entity diplomats (60). Since this defiance, the Jewish occupation dragon has designated Mauritania an “enemy state” and prepped it for infiltration and subversion.

Whatever plans the Zionist entity had in store for Nouakchott were thwarted when “the biggest Mossad spy ring” in the country’s history was exposed on January 4th, 2012. Fake “activists” from across the Arab world and several high-profile businesspeople were arrested and interrogated as members of a vast, corrosive Zionist intelligence network embedded throughout Mauritanian society (61). The outed “Israeli” nexus was one of extreme significance, as it was tied to the Zionist agents who murdered Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai and the Mossad operatives that infamously blew up an Ethiopian airliner in Lebanon (62).

Recently, indisputably due to its principled anti-Zionist stance, Mauritania has been slammed with nefarious propaganda by Zionist-run CNN as a modern outpost of slavery. The hasbaranik “news” network alleged that 10-20% of the North African nation’s citizens were slaves (63). This horrific and gargantuan lie, debunked by respectable reporters, human rights activists and government officials back in 1996, originated with Charles Jacobs, a notorious Jewish supremacist, Islamophobe and Zionist hardliner who has been present in neoconservative networks for years. Jacobs also helped disseminate the same slavery hasbara about Sudan, setting up or heading Jewish-Zionist front organizations to give credence to the lies of “Israeli”-trained South Sudanese rebels, chiefly the American Anti-Slavery Group (64). This is another primordial tactic of the Jewish occupation regime; attempt to destroy the enemy militarily or subversively, and if this fails, smear the enemy so the world perceives him as dirty and defeated anyway.

Algerian revolutionary
Ahmed Ben Bella; a
freedom fighter utterly
hated by "Israel" and
its French colonialist
allies.
Historically, the usurping Jewish demon has always considered the massive North African nation of Algeria an adversary, hating it passionately. Aman, the Zionist entity’s military intelligence wing, worked intimately with SDECE (French intelligence) to undermine the Algerian liberation struggle. The most brazen act of this nexus was the assassination attempt on the first president of Algeria, Nasser protégé and legendary freedom fighter Ahmed Ben Bella via the hijacking of his plane (65). On August 14th, 1963, the Algerian government, freshly (and barely) independent after the debilitating war of attrition with its Rothschild-financed French colonialist oppressors from 1954-1962, foiled a regime change plot led by “Israeli” intelligence and the pro-colonialist terrorist group, the French Secret Army Organization (OAS). Ten Zionist agents and 20 of their proxies were arrested. President Ben Bella, a fierce anti-Zionist, accused the Zionist entity of attempting to plunge the newly independent Algeria into chaos due to its stance on the total liberation of Palestine (66).

The OAS itself was an iniquitous den of Jewish intrigue. It not only had an exclusively Jewish faction, its leadership was being advised on the intricacies of clandestine warfare by partisans of Irgun, the notorious mass murdering “Israeli” terrorist organ. The usurping Zionist entity’s intelligence apparatuses were also providing support to the OAS on the ground as a means of retaining the French colonial presence in Algeria, as was the CIA. What is even more disturbing is that the OAS, tormentors of the Algerian people and willing marionettes of the Jewish occupation regime, was financed by the extremely shadowy Permindex corporation, a nexus of Jewish financial barons, Mossad agents, Zionist lobbyists and Jewish Organized Crime kingpins that was integral to the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy and numerous attempts on the life of President of France Charles de Gaulle (67).

Since the decolonization of Algeria and the triumph over the Mossad-OAS efforts to reverse Algerian liberation, “Israel” has steadfastly targeted the North African behemoth with a cornucopia of designs, especially as of recent. In the summer of 2007, Mossad was revealed to have been running prominent Algerian journalist Said Sahnoun, who had provided the “Israeli” foreign intelligence directorate with information on Algeria’s military capabilities (68). December 2007 saw the Algerian capital of Algiers being struck with a double car bomb by Mossad, leaving at least 47 innocents murdered in cold blood (69). There is a strong possibility that this was classical Jewish vengeance for the outing of Sahnoun. In March 2010, a Mossad agent in possession of a fake Spanish passport was arrested by Algeria’s security services for spying on oil companies (70). Later on in 2010, “Israeli” military intelligence was caught spying on Algeria’s peaceful nuclear facilities and its Air Force base in Umm Bawaki, the largest in Africa (71).

"Algerian" separatist terrorist
Ferhat Mehenni: traitor of
Africa and proxy of Zionism
bought and paid for by
American Jewry.
Religiously adhering to the Yinon Plan of destabilization and balkanization, of which Algeria is a feature (17), “Israel” hosted Ferhat Mehenni, leader of the Paris-based Mouvement pour l’autonomie de la Kabylie (MAK), an Algerian separatist group, on May 22nd, 2012. Mehenni seeks to establish a tribal enclave in the northern region of Algeria called “Kablye”, a terribly blatant invocation of Oded Yinon’s vision of chopping up Arab and Muslim states into smaller, weaker entities. The separatist strongman is an advocate of establishing ties with the usurping Jewish entity and setting up an “Israeli” embassy in Algiers. The Zionist regime openly and flagrantly supports the MAK and has facilitated at least three of Mehenni’s trips to the Talmudic stronghold. He plans for the Jewish occupation regime to be the first entity that “Kablye” establishes diplomatic ties with, and why wouldn’t he? Mehenni has received over $1 million euros from the wealthy and powerful American Jewish community (72), he is merely catering to his Zionist masters’ wants and needs.

“Israeli” media programs have also been firing bullets of absurd but nevertheless dangerous hasbara about Algeria possessing nuclear weapons (73); a reprehensible lie. With Libya destroyed by the Zionist-engineered war of aggression led by NATO, and Egypt very much under fire from an “Israeli” scheme to retake the Sinai, it vividly appears that Algeria is next on the Zionist hitlist. The “divide and conquer” and “weapons of mass destruction” pretexts are already in place and that is exceptionally frightening.

If Anwar el-Sadat was the Arab World’s greatest and most perfidious traitor, the “kings” of Morocco, and “King” Hassan II in particular, undoubtedly register as his closest front runners or even, his heirs. Forged by “King” Muhammad V in the early 1950s and furthered after his death in 1961 by his son, “King” Hassan II, the devilish relationship between Mossad and the Moroccan security-intelligence complex is one of the utmost closeness and treachery. It began in 1954 when Mossad founder Isser Harel set up a clandestine base in Morocco for the purpose of forcing Moroccan Jews to occupied Palestine. Mossad agent Shlomo Havillo was initially made station chief, but he was later replaced by a more devoted Jewish supremacist named Alex Gatmon, who was also given dominion over the Misgeret, Mossad’s secret militia in Casablanca. Harel and Gatmon launched two major operations, “Mural” and “Yakhin”, in which they smuggled hundreds of thousands of Mizrahi Jews out of Morocco with the full complicity of the “King” and his security services (74). This was just a front for something far more diabolical however.

The main reason that the Moroccan monarchy and usurping Jewish entity formed an alliance was to overthrow Gamal Abdul Nasser. Meir Amit, lifelong servant of Zionism and Isser Harel’s “replacement” as director of Mossad, trained the security services of “King” Hassan II in counterintelligence, interrogation and torture, all for the purpose of taking down Nasser and replacing his regime with one more compliant to the regional objectives of “Israel” and the monarchy (75). This new alliance would prove destructive to Nasser and his anti-Zionist ambitions, as the turncoat Moroccan intelligence apparatus supplied the Jewish “state” with critical access to high-level meetings between Arab military commanders just prior to al-Naksa, thus giving “Israel” the upper hand it needed to launch its preemptive war (76).

The tyrannical Moroccan
monarchy and the usurping
Zionist entity are intimately
intertwined through their
intelligence services.
It was this putrid cooperation that also led to the kidnaping, barbaric torture and murder of great Moroccan revolutionary Mehdi Ben Barka, first discussed in Mask of Zion’s first report on Africa. Mossad was the guiding hand behind Ben Barka’s tragic and bloody fate. The international Jewish murder machine had tracked the “Moroccan Che Guevara’s” entire career, penetrated his inner circle and set him up on a fake meeting with a “sympathetic French millionaire” who wanted to help him topple the “King” and liberate Morocco from tyranny. It was at this meeting that Moroccan Interior Minister (and Mossad asset) Muhammad Oufkir and his allies in an “Israel”-allied SDECE faction would kidnap Ben Barka and later execute him. The man behind the fiction that led to the cold-blooded murder of Mehdi Ben Barka was none other than David Kimche (77), the ancient Mossadnik behind the Rwandan Genocide. Beyond the cooperation between his security services and Mossad, “King” Hassan II held numerous secret meetings with “Israeli” war criminals over the years, from prime ministers to generals, Knesset members to intelligence heads, doing everything that he could to harm and undermine the Palestinian people (78).

Mossad also trained the bodyguards of the Moroccan despot. To show just how deep the friendship between Tel Aviv and Rabat actually went, when longtime Mossad contact Muhammad Oufkir plotted to overthrow “King” Hassan II, the Zionist entity’s global terror squad stopped it from occurring. As a means of gratitude, the “King” increased his ties to Zionism; more weapons, more intelligence, more cultural and economic cooperation, more trade, which amounts to at least $100 million per year, and more “Israeli” involvement in helping Morocco emerge triumphant in its brutal, expansionist war against the indigenous Sahrawi people of the Western Sahara (74), who were and are being (righteously) supported by the Zionist entity’s hated enemy, Algeria. Zionism’s wholly vile and incestuous friendliness with the Moroccan tyrant is especially vital to its infestation of Africa, on all fronts. Morocco is essentially a launching pad for Jewish criminal activity on the continent. The Moroccan people themselves, known for their visceral despisal of the usurping Zionist dragon and who literally chased an “Israeli” diplomat out of their country in March (79), must take down the “King” and restore dignity to Morocco.

Al-Shabab, the righteous
Islamic Resistance of
Somalia, is under intense
fire from the marionettes
of International Jewry.
While Mask of Zion prominently featured the plight of occupied Somalia in its first report, new revelations have since emerged that add more layers of devilishness to what has befallen the Horn of Africa nation. Additionally, International Jewry’s proxies in Europe and America have stepped up the aggression against the Somali people.

On May 15th, 2012, EU naval forces and helicopters ruthlessly shelled the village of Handulle, ridiculously dubbing it a “pirate haven” and vowing to continue facsimile attacks in the future (80). No evidence was (or has been) presented to confirm the “pirate” allegations and no casualty count was issued either although it wouldn’t be farfetched by any means to assume many civilians were murdered by this cruel, criminal and colonial attack. It is imperative to note that the Somali pirates are by no means “robbers” or, as Zionist ideologues tend to describe them, “terrorists,” they are defenders of their homeland, putting their lives on the line to stop Western (read: Jewish) imperial encroachment and corporations from dumping toxic waste in Somali waters (81).

It is now known that the Zionist-occupied United States government has been using F-15s to bomb Somalia, as well as its naval destroyers (82). The US has also pieced together a mercenary army from forces of the Zionist entity’s proxies in Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya, aggressively pushing them in conjunction with Predator and Reaper drone strikes against Al-Shabab, the Somali Islamic Resistance (83). “Israeli” intelligence has of course played a vital role in supporting these proxy efforts to crush Al-Shabab (84), and the Zionist entity, through its shipping mega-firm ZIM, has even clashed with Somali pirates before, shooting them for attempting to stop a Jewish occupation ship from contaminating their waters with harsh chemicals (85). On April 27th, 2012, a US terror drone hammered Somalia’s southwestern region of Gedo, leaving at least 22 people murdered and dozens of others injured (86). Just two weeks later on May 11th, America’s remote-controlled death machines hit Somalia again, this time murdering more than 38 people in the southwestern district of Badade (87). It is utterly miraculous that Bab-el-Mandeb, the strategic waterway between Somalia and Yemen, hasn’t changed colors from blue to red from all of the innocent Somali blood spilled.

Abraham Karem:
the Jewish-Zionist
maniac who invented
the Predator Drone, the
machine of death currently
tormenting Somalia.
Never should it be forgotten that the perverted mind that gave the world the Predator drone was a Jewish one. Abraham Karem, who served in the Air Force of the “Israeli” occupation army for 9 years, is considered to be the man, or rather, the Zionist parasite, who “changed the way the United States wages war.” Karem gave birth to the Predator drone in 1980 in his home in Hacienda Heights, California, after emigrating from Jewish-occupied Palestine (88). The warmongering Zionist Jew wreaked havoc on the Palestinian people as an occupation soldier and now continues that legacy vicariously through his twisted and murderous mechanical creation, which wreaks havoc on innocents all over the world, including Somalia. Moreover, even before Karem fathered the Predator (aptly named considering the predatory natures of Jewry and Zionism), going back to at least 1970, “Israel” was manufacturing drone technology. In fact, the Jewish “state” can be considered the “drone godfather” and first deployed drones in Lebanon in 1982. The Zionist entity accounts for 41% of all drones exported worldwide, its drones are used by at least 24 countries and it maintains a network of front companies to “judaize” security establishments the world over (89), just like it is “judaizing” occupied al-Quds. Therefore, it can be said, unequivocally, that Somalia’s drone torment is Jewish at the root.

Jewish-Zionist fanatic
Michael Chertoff: author
of the Patriot Act, 9/11
conspirator and godfather
of Somalia's plight.
While Somalia has been occupied by AU-UN forces since 2006, its humanitarian crisis was manufactured several years before that; 5 years before that exactly, just weeks after the September 11th massacre in New York City. Drought and famine are maliciously widespread, with women and children being the main victims of this weaponization of human catastrophe, public health care has all but collapsed, food aid has been suspended and millions of Somalis have been displaced inside and outside of their homeland. And it is all because of the Patriot Act, as well as all of the other “counter-terrorism laws” just like it that followed, which have enforced sanctions against “terrorist entities” (read: Resistance groups) like Al-Shabab and crippled humanitarian organizations (90). The Patriot Act is the work of Jewish-Zionist war criminal Michael Chertoff, “son of Mossad”, who wrote it many years before the “Israeli” false flag attack on September 11th, which he was a primary organizer of, and who had it edited just before it passed in Congress to ensure all Zionist-linked firms that participated in the 9/11 event were protected from prosecution (91). Somalia’s humanitarian woes are also Jewish at the root, making Al-Shabab’s Resistance (and eventual victory over) these Zionist-backed invaders all the more important.

There is truly no end to the rape of Africa by the Jewish exploitation machine. What has been written here may be even more detailed, more abyssal than the previous Mask of Zion report, but it is by no means the alpha and omega; books, masses of books, can be written about what “Israel” and its Jewish internationals have done to the African continent. “Israeli” MK Michael Ben-Ari, Jewish supremacist, ethnic cleansing and mass murder advocate and protégé of the loathsome “Israeli”-Jewish terrorist founder of the JDL Rabbi Meir Kahane (92), shockingly admitted in a recent interview that, “In Africa, we caused people to be slaughtered because we were money-hungry (93).” Indeed that is what many Jews involved in the plunder of Africa may be, but this is about geopolitics. This is about the execution of Zionist stratagems and Ben-Ari knows it.

The much-discussed Chabadnik war criminal Dan Gertler is now linked to blood diamond dealing in the Southern African nation of Angola, and he has recently launched new projects in the Congo to finance more illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank (94). “Israeli” billionaire war criminal Beny Steinmetz, a buddy-like associate of Gertler, just took over a massive mining plant in Sierra Leone called Koidu Holdings and referred to his new blood diamond operation as the “the future (95).” In Mali, an initiative of Jewish cultural imperialism has been launched, with big-name “Israeli” and Malian musicians collaborating to defy the BDS movement and normalize the crimes of the “Israeli” occupation army (96).

The Zionist entity has also fully restored its diplomatic ties with the West African nation of Ghana (97), more than four decades after Mossad overthrew Ghanian founding father and cherished leader Kwame Nkrumah in its secret war with the Chinese Secret Intelligence Service (CSIS). The usurping Jewish entity would end the war with CSIS after the “Nkrumah Affair” and then forge an alliance with it to curtail Soviet influence in Africa, as per the policy designed by Meir Amit to keep superpowers divided and weakened in the name of “Jewish survival”. Mossad would do just that in the years following, pitting Chinese operatives against Russian operatives and using Africa as the battleground (98).

Field Marshall Dedan
Kimathi Waciuri: Kenyan
revolutionary who defied
Rothschild-funded British
colonialism and gave his life
for the freedom of his nation.
55 years ago, Kenyan freedom fighter and legendary revolutionary Field Marshall Dedan Kimathi Waciuri was hung by the Rothschild-financed British colonial regime, one of at least 1,090 Kenyans executed in this manner during the 1950s, along with 300,000 other Kenyans thrown into British concentration camps (99), like the Boers and their indigenous comrades before them who fought Jewish domination. Field Marshall Kimathi was murdered for one reason and one reason only: he resisted his oppressors and utterly refused to compromise this dedicated stance.

He chose dignity over humiliation. Liberation over subjugation. Death over a life in slavery. It is this kind of steadfastness that the African continent needs now, maybe more so than ever before. Without it, the Jewish exploitation machine will continue onward with its rampage throughout Africa, leaving an oceanic trail of blood in its tracks. With it however, the Resistance will be triumphant, in honor of Field Marshall Kimathi and all of the martyrs before him and after him, from Rwanda to Libya, Somalia to Egypt, Algeria to Gambia and every nation in between. And the Zionist infestation of Africa will not only be counteracted, but prevented from manifesting itself ever again.

What Happened in Egypt’s Presidential Elections?

by the Editor Sunday, May 27th, 2012
 

The Sacking of a Revolution
by ESAM AL-AMIN

Fifteen months after millions of Egyptians -led by the revolutionary youth- were united in their demand to end a corrupt and suffocating dictatorship, they were now divided as they headed to the polls in the last two days in order to elect a new president. During this transitional period the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), which has ruled the country since Mubarak was deposed in February 2011, failed to uphold its promise of honoring the goals of the revolution by uprooting the corrupt elements of the former regime.

The unofficial results of the presidential elections show that the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Dr. Muhammad Mursi is headed to a runoff with Mubarak’s last Prime Minister and the anti-revolution candidate, Gen. Ahmad Shafiq. They received 24 and 23 percent of the votes, respectively. Meanwhile the two candidates supported by the revolutionary groups, Dr. Abdelmoneim Abol Fotouh and Hamdein Sabahi received 17 and 20 percent respectively, while former foreign minister Amr Moussa was a distant fifth with less than 11 percent.

So what happened and how can one understand these results?
  • The revolutionaries were divided: There is no doubt that the failure of the revolutionary groups to unify their ranks and field a single candidate or a presidential ticket has cost them the chance to come out on top in this round and head for a runoff. Combined, both candidates received 37 percent, which would have guaranteed them victory in the first round had they run as president and vice president. But despite many efforts towards that end, both candidates refused to concede. Abol Fotouh argued that the country’s electorate has been favoring a candidate with an Islamist background, and thus he represented that consensus candidate who could bridge the divide between the Islamists and the secularists. Sabahi, on the other hand, argued that the country did not need another Islamist candidate after the results of the parliamentary elections, in which Islamists took 75 percent of the seats. In the last three weeks, Sabahi’s supporters mounted a ferocious campaign against Abol Fotouh, as they could only gain votes at his expense, since they could not have hoped to earn much support from the constituencies of Mursi (Muslim Brotherhood) or Shafiq (anti-revolutionaries fulool or remnants of the former regime). The tactic worked and observers believe that Sabahi may have doubled his numbers in the past few weeks, taking the lion’s share from Abol Fotouh.

  • Low turnout: Despite the intense interest and the high stakes, it appears that most Egyptians are tired and simply did not show up. Some revolutionary groups have actually called for a boycott of the elections, arguing that the elections are meaningless without cleansing the state from the fulool or military control. During the parliamentary elections late last year, more than 27 million Egyptians participated. Although there are 51 million registered voters only an estimated 24 million cast their votes this time or about 47 percent as compared to 62 percent during the parliamentary elections.

  • The Muslim Brotherhood went their own way: During the revolution all anti-Mubarak groups were united in their demands in ending the corrupt dictatorship. Although the MB was cautious in joining the revolution at the beginning, its subsequent participation proved crucial to the success of the revolution. But shortly thereafter, the MB broke the consensus of the revolutionary groups and went their own way, relying on their enormous ability to mobilize and organize. The tacit understanding with SCAF during most of last year – by abandoning at crucial times the demands of the revolutionary groups – created a deep mistrust between both parties. When the MB broke its pledge and decided to field a candidate, it relied primarily on its ability to mobilize its supporters. None of the revolutionary groups of Tahrir Square gave it their support. On the ground many of the MB supporters attacked Abol Fotouh, further alienating many Egyptian voters. The net effect was the demoralization of the supporters of the revolution. In the end the MB received this time less than 6 million votes as compared to more than 10 million votes during the parliamentary elections six months ago.

  • The military’s candidate and the deep security state: Many analysts debated whether SCAF had its own candidate in this race. Although it declared that it did not favor a particular candidate, SCAF allowed the resources of the state to be utilized for Shafiq’s benefit. With the support of the state bureaucracy the security apparatus (which was rebuilt using its old elements and kept its connections with local officials who were never dismissed) mobilized their resources for the benefit of their preferred candidate. Many reports have surfaced in the Egyptian media that showed how army recruits, police officers, and state employees were instructed by their superiors to vote for Shafiq or, in the case of active military personnel – who are barred from voting – to have their families vote for him. The government gave all state employees Thursday off so that they could cast their vote for their preferred candidate.

In addition, since December the security and economic situation worsened deliberately by the SCAF-appointed government making ordinary Egyptians feel that the lack of security and continuing economic hardships were the direct consequences of the revolution. Even when they had voted for a new parliament, their conditions became worse not better. This allowed Shafiq to argue that once elected, he could bring security within 24 hours and that his law and order nature would bring economic prosperity.

Moreover, the elections commission, which re-instated Shafiq after he was banned from running by parliament, did not enforce its own laws regarding campaign financing. The elections commission set a ceiling of 10 million pounds from each presidential campaign. But it was clear that Shafiq’s campaign was spending hundreds of millions without any accountability. For instance, it was revealed that the cost of his billboards alone was 22 million pounds. He ran dozens of TV ads at the cost of 200,000 pounds each. The use of enormous amounts of money in politics in Egypt is not new. But this time its was taken to new heights without any accountability.
  • The regrouping of the fullol: The machinery of Mubarak’s banned National Democratic Party (NDP) and corrupt businessmen was in full force once Shafiq declared his candidacy. Insiders report that the wife of former party director of organization, billionaire Ahmad Ezz (who supervised the 2010 elections fraud and is currently serving ten years for financial and political corruption with other charges pending) has paid 100 million pounds to local officials in the delta region to support Shafiq. In the heart of the delta where substantial number of poor Egyptian peasants live, local officials and mayors control every aspect of their lives. Many people have reported that these officials were paid millions to turn these peasants and their families to vote for Shafiq. In one telling moment, an Al-Jazeera correspondent asked a peasant why he voted for Shafiq and he replied that “I, along with the whole village were instructed to vote for Shafiq to bring security and prosperity.” He further said that “ I brought my family to vote for him as well.” In the five provinces in the heart of the delta, Shafiq received 2.5 million votes, or about 50 percent of his total support. By contrast, frontrunner Mursi received 1.7 million votes while Sabahi and Abol Fotouh received 1.3 million and 1 million votes, respectively. The fulool hope that by electing Shafiq he will eventually pardon all the corrupt former regime figures currently serving long sentences, including Mubarak and his sons if they are convicted. Others hope to regain the status they lost when the former regime was toppled.

  • The role of the Sufis: Since the rise of the salafis during the parliamentary elections, a deep rift over theological beliefs and religious practices has taken place between the salafis and Sufi groups. There are about 12 million Egyptians who claim to belong to these Sufi traditions, especially in the Nile Delta region. The chiefs of these groups, whose livelihood depends on religious tourism, felt threatened by the rhetoric of the salafis who promised to end their “paganistic” ways. Shafiq exploited this rift and declared that he was also a Sufi and pledged to preserve their traditions. In return the Sufi chiefs declared their allegiance to him.

  • The Christian vote: Although many Coptic Christians joined the revolution in toppling Mubarak, many of the Church and lay leaders have raised concerns about the rise of the Islamic groups. For many weeks, their leaders declared that they would support a “civil” candidate hinting that it would be Amr Moussa. However, last week several major figures declared that the overwhelming majority of Copts would vote for Shafiq because “he was the only one capable of stopping the rise of the Islamists” as one Christian leader declared. On Election Day, exit polls and observers confirmed that 70-80 percent of the Christian vote went to Shafiq. After the elections the acting head of the Coptic Church told al-Shrouk newspaper that he was aware of these reports and that he has suspended two senior officials in the Church pending an investigation.

So what’s next?

It is not clear how the eliminated revolutionary leaders will react to the election results. Although there is no evidence of direct frauds or vote rigging, clearly the role of the state’s authoritarian structures in influencing the outcome, as well as to the use of money to corrupt the political will of Egyptians cannot be denied. But no matter how they respond to the allegations, the elections commission will push ahead with next month’s runoff between Mursi and Shafiq. With the exception of the MB supporters, most people who support the revolution dread the day where they will be faced with the choice between the MB candidate and the fulool candidate.

But no matter what, Shafiq should never be allowed to win. In return for the support of Abol Fotouh and Sabahi supporters, the MB should offer a genuine gesture to the candidates and call for the unity of all the supporters of the revolution. But such offers must be more than empty rhetoric and need to contain meaningful acts of inclusiveness and magnanimity including offering them senior positions such as vice president or prime minister. If the MB thinks that it can win the presidency without the support of the revolutionary groups, it would be totally mistaken. Not only will the majority of Moussa’s supporters end up going to Shafiq, but now that the fulool have succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, they will double their efforts and employ more of their old tricks to guarantee a win, with the full backing of the military and state bureaucracy.

Only through regaining the determination of purpose and unity of action of those early days of the unfinished revolution can it remain alive. The MB cannot afford to botch this opportunity yet again. The alternative would likely be another revolution to replace the one that was sadly aborted.

Saad Hariri ordered kidnapping of 13 Lebanese in Syria: Report

A Lebanese woman, freed by kidnappers, arrives at Rafiq Hariri International Airport in Beirut with a group of pilgrims who were abducted in Syria, May 22, 2012.
A Lebanese woman, freed by kidnappers, arrives at Rafiq Hariri International Airport in Beirut with a group of pilgrims who were abducted in Syria, May 22, 2012.
Sun May 27, 2012 4:26PM GMT
 
Reports say the recent kidnapping of 13 Lebanese pilgrims in Syria has been carried out on the order of former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
 
The information came after one of the kidnappers, who was arrested near the Turkish border in Syria, made critical confessions about the incident.

Lebanese lawmaker Uqab Saqr had reportedly organized the abduction and finally paid a certain amount of money to the kidnapping group to transfer the pilgrims to Turkey.

The organizers of the abduction had also plotted to kill the arrested kidnapper to cover the truth behind the incident.

A group of Lebanese people was on its way back home from a pilgrimage in Iran when armed men intercepted their vehicle in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo on May 22. The women in the group were allowed to go free and they arrived in Lebanon on the next day.

On May 25, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said all the 13 kidnapped Shia pilgrims were released after three days in captivity and that they were in good health.

The abductees were reportedly handed to Turkey following their release, but the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on May 27 that the Lebanese citizens have not entered Turkey so far.

Lebanon Waits…Contradictions Govern Release of Kidnapped Lebanese

Mystery Surrounds Fate of Lebanese Abductees

Local Editor

Mystery surrounds the fate of the eleven visitors who were abducted in northern Syria as they made their way home from their visit toMiqati, Berri holy places in Iran.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Miqati postponed his trip to Turkey at the time Turkish Foreign ministry assured that the kidnapped Lebanese did not enter Turkish territory, but stressed that they were in good health.

In a statement issued Saturday, Miqati pointed out that “all information confirms the continuation of contacts and efforts to secure the release of the Lebanese after making sure of their safety,” indicating that “the he postponed his visit after making consultations with the Lebanese President Michel Suleiman and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and a number of Turkish officials.”

On Saturday night, the commander of the so-called "free Syrian army" Riad al-Assad told Al-Jadeed channel that the abductees are iRiad Al-Asaadn good health and safe within Syrian territories, claiming that “the operations by the Syrian regime in Aleppo delayed the process of getting them out to Turkey.” He added that “very soon, God willing, they will be handed over to Turkish authorities.”

However, SANA news agency said Al-Qaeda-linked terrorist groups committed two horrible massacres against a number of families in the towns of al-Shumariyeh and Taldo in the countryside of Homs province. It also said that a number of members of an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group were killed in a blast of an explosive device which they were making in a place in Tal Raf'at town in the countryside of Aleppo.

Lebanon Waits…Contradictions Govern Release of Kidnapped Lebanese


Local Editor
They are free...The news covered the scene: Celebrating people flooded into streets. Media reports broadcasted live from the airport. Lebanese state officials entered the VIP lounge to welcome the released hostages.

However, hours of wait extended. The endless night ended and no airplane appeared in the Lebanese sky.

Families went back home as time turned tears of joy to tears of worry while the Lebanese state was absent from hearing or relieving the longing hearts.

The Friday's expected jubilation after the announcement of the release of 11 kidnapped Lebanese citizens by Syrian rebels turned into anxious waiting as conflicting reports emerged about the fate of the hostages.

As the Lebanese officials unveiled that the hostages have reached the Turkish territories, rumors emerged that the freed Lebanese were still in Syria.

However, Lebanese Interior Minister Marwan Charbel announced that the abductees "have just arrived in Turkey and that they were not expected to arrive in Beirut before Saturday."
"The delay is related to routine logistic reasons," he confirmed and pointed out that "the 11 Lebanese are in good health."

Similarly, Hizbullah and AMAL Movement issued a joint statement assuring people that "the hostages are in good health and they will be soon back to their country."

Meanwhile, the families reiterated their complete trust in the Secretary General of Hizbullah His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and House Speaker Nabih Berri's pledge to spare no effort to free the kidnapped pilgrims.

However, they issued a statement Saturday, in which they condemned the unjustified delay, holding the Turkish government responsible for it.

"The Turkish authorities are responsible for maintaining the pilgrims' safety and ensuring their safe return to Lebanon as soon as possible," the statement read.

In this context, Ali Saleh, brother of the kidnapped Lebanese Jamil Saleh, expressed frustration of the recent developments.

"All information we get are from the media. No officials are contacting us," Saleh stressed to moqawama.org.

The man who fears the fate of his 62-year-old ill brother, urged the Lebanese government to finalize this issue.

"Why doesn't the foreign ministry contact us or why doesn't the minister travel to Turkey to determine whether our relatives are free or not?" he wondered.

It is worth mentioning that media reports mentioned in the last hours that Prime Minister Najib Mikati is expected to travel to Turkey Saturday afternoon to hold talks with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyib Erdogan on this case.

Nothing new, but hopes remain that eager Lebanon restores its smile with the return of its civilians.

Condemnation after videos show settlers burning Palestinian olive groves


A leading Israeli rights group has condemned new footage showing extremist Jewish settlers, some wearing masks, setting fire to Palestinian olive groves as Israeli soldiers watch.

Dozens of Israelis from the Yitzhar settlement attacked Palestinians in the Urif area, throwing stones before burning wheat fields and olive groves that are crucial to the Palestinian economy.

Youths from the Palestinian village came to put out the fires and protect their land, but were attacked by the far-right settlers, with the Israeli army ignoring calls to stop the violence.

Settlers later fired live ammunition, injuring one Palestinian, while the army continued to ignore the attack.

The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem condemned the army for helping the settlers.
"All of these events took place in the presence of dozens of Israeli soldiers stationed in the area, who did not block the settlers on their way to ‘Urif, nor act to prevent the attack on the village," a statement from the group said.

"The military’s intervention consisted largely in driving away Palestinian youth, but not the settlers, thus preventing the Palestinians from defending their property and putting out the fires."

Jewish-only settlements in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza are illegal under international law, and are regularly condemned by the United Nations and international other bodies.
Despite this Israel continues to encourage its citizens to develop settlements and protects them using its military might.

Anti-Iranian Propaganda

by Stephen Lendman

My PhotoWhen America goes to war or plans one, media scoundrels march in lockstep.

Articles, commentaries, editorials, and broadcasts feature Washington handout-style journalism.
Managed news misinformation substitutes for truth and full disclosure. Readers and viewers are deceived and betrayed.

For years, Iran and Syria have been targeted for regime change. Independent governments aren’t tolerated. Puppet ones are planned to replace them. Scoundrel media play leading roles.

On May 24, The New York Times headlined “Iran Nuclear Talks End with No Deal.”

P5+1 talks failed as expected. Washington bears full responsibility. Deal-making isn’t at issue. It’s portraying Iran as uncooperative for added justification to wage war.

“The six wanted a freeze on Iranian production of uranium enriched to 20 percent purity, which is considered a short step from bomb grade.”
In fact, it’s a giant one to 90% required for weapons making. It’s especially so without intent to produce them.

Medical isotopes and other peaceful applications require 20%. NPT provisions permit it. Iran fully complies. Washington and Israel are serial violators. Their belligerence threatens humanity. Tehran threatens no one.

EU lead negotiator Catherine Ashton said “very intense and detailed discussions (left) significant differences” unresolved. They’ll remain so in future meetings. A June 18-19 Moscow one is planned. Nothing substantive will change.

“We will maintain intensive contacts with our Iranian counterparts to prepare a further meeting in Moscow,” Ashton announced.

Iran’s chief negotiator, Saeed Jalili said:

“Of the main topics in using peaceful nuclear energy is the topic of having the nuclear fuel cycle and enrichment. We emphasize this right.”
“This is an undeniable right of the Iranian nation….especially the right to enrich uranium.” If P5+1 nations negotiate in good faith, “we will, of course, welcome some offer to cooperate on.”
Iran didn’t go to Baghdad to surrender. Its position won’t change in Moscow. Washington demands it. The Times left that and other key issues unaddressed and/or misreported.

On May 26, Reuters headlined “Iran has enough uranium for 5 bombs: expert,” saying:

The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) claims “Iran has significantly stepped up its output of low-enriched uranium and total production in the last five years (to provide) enough for at least five nuclear weapons if refined much further.”

David Albright heads ISIS. He impersonates a nuclear expert. He’s a former pseudo-UN weapons inspector. Former Iraq chief weapons inspector Scott Ritter called him a “nuclear expert who never was.”

His “track record (reveals) half-baked analyses derived from questionable sources….He breathes false legitimacy into these factually challenged stories by” claiming fake credentials.

Albright founded ISIS. It’s self-serving. It shuns truth. He fronts for power, privilege, and war profiteers. He’s part of Washington’s anti-Iranian agenda. In Iraq, he played the same role. He’s a pro-imperial opportunist.

In June 1996, he appeared once as as a pseudo-Iraq weapons inspector. His role was political, not scientific. He observed and regurgitated what Washington wanted to hear. He’s doing it now on Iran. His credibility is sorely lacking. He has none.

Claiming Iran is able to produce five bombs is inflammatory and misleading. All nations with commercial reactors produce enough uranium and plutonium for bomb-making. Only a handful, in fact, do it.

Iran isn’t one of them. That’s the headline not featured. Instead, deceptive ones heighten tensions for war.

IAEA head Yukiya Amano represents Western, not global interests fairly. He serves Washington’s anti-Iranian agenda. On May 25, he claimed inspectors found Fordo plant enriched uranium traces up to 27%.

Around 90% is needed for bomb-making. Iran purifies to 20%. Most amounts are around 3.5%. Traces signify nothing. Iran’s main stockpile complies with what it claims. No weapons development or production evidence exists.

At times, over-enrichment occurs. It’s normal, not unusual or cheating. Technicians adjust accordingly. IAEA inspectors should have left it unmentioned.

Media scoundrels, of course, jump on it in headlines. Many readers don’t go beyond a few paragraphs to know it’s insignificant.

On May 25, a Washington Post editorial headlined, “Iran’s hard bargain,” saying:
Iran rejected Western “confidence-building measures.” It demanded rights Washington rejects. “(E)xtended negotiations will only benefit Iran.”
“What’s most concerning about the Baghdad talks is that they failed to show that the regime of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has made a strategic decision to strike a bargain.”
“Instead, Tehran sought something for nothing: acceptance by the West of its uranium enrichment in return for assertions that it is not seeking nuclear weapons and promises to cooperate with international inspectors.”
“In fact, no ‘right’ to process uranium exists under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.”

Fact check


Iran wants (and deserves) to be treated like other countries with commercial nuclear operations. It complies fully with NPT provisions. Washington and Israel are nuclear outlaws.

Iran’s operations are more intensively monitored than any other nation. Washington and Israel prohibit inspections for good reason. Massive cheating would be found. Imperial powers never tell all or say they’re sorry.

NPT permits uranium enrichment as long as countries agree to rigorous monitoring. WP editors better check their sources. They, in turn, need to find another line of work.

Yousaf Butt is a nuclear physicist. He’s a Federation of American Scientists consultant. In January, his Foreign Policy article headlined “Stop the Madness,” saying:
“Despite all the hype, Iran’s nuclear program has yet to violate international law. It’s time to calm down, think, and above all halt the rush to war.”
“The IAEA considers 20 percent enriched uranium to be low-enriched uranium and ‘a fully adequate isotopic barrier’ to weaponization.”
Iran complies. It does nothing illegal. NPT doesn’t prevent a nuclear weapons “capability” or “option.” Dozens of nations have it.

Singling out Iran is for political reasons. It’s not about legitimate fears of an illegal weapons program in the hands of a country threatening to use them.

The key red line Iran won’t cross is “diverting” nuclear material for weapons production. Numerous experts and independent reports “affirmed (for) years that they have no evidence (of) any such program.”

Multiple rounds of sanctions “go far beyond anything related to its nuclear program.”
The hype about it is political. It has no scientific basis whatever.

Washington Post editorial assertions are false, misleading, and inflammatory. Iran is legally entitled to pursue its nuclear program.

P5+1 proposals were disingenuously one-sided. Unreasonable demands were made. Nothing was offered in return. Western good faith wasn’t present in Baghdad. It’s an oxymoron. It doesn’t exist.
Tehran negotiated responsibly. Not good enough, said Washington. Prove a negative was demanded. Refuse and be blamed for Western obstructionism.

Multiple rounds of discussions won’t change things. WP editors think the “slide toward war remains desirable. Iran cannot be granted much more time to build and install centrifuges.”

Washington is infested with hotheads. WP editorial and op-ed writers are among them. They have lots of scoundrel media company. Promoting war makes it more likely. Body counts and vast destruction don’t matter.

Nor for USA Today. It’s post-Baghdad editorial headlined “How the US can win at nuclear poker with Iran,” saying:

“There’s an old poker saying that if you look around the table and can’t figure out who the chump is, it’s you. Too often in high-stakes negotiations with rogue states such as North Korea and Iran, the U.S. has looked a lot like the chump as it tried to curtail those nations’ nuclear weapons programs.”
“(O)nly a sucker could be confident that….Iran really, really means” what it says.

Scoundrel media report this way. Managed news duplicity substitutes for real news, opinion and analysis.

Media liars bear full responsibity. So does Washington for failure, not Iran. Tehran can’t succeed without a willing partner. It hasn’t had one in decades. It has the worst of all relationships now. Obama itches for more war post-election.

He feigns negotiations while planning it at the same time. Munich and Hitler’s Non-Aggression Treaty with Soviet Russia come to mind. Washington and Israel are no different. Hawks in both countries are especially worrisome. They’re bent on aggression and won’t accept less.

In response on May 22, the Tehran Times headlined “Iran must take firm stance at Baghdad talks, saying:

For years, Iran “bravely resisted” unreasonable demands to halt its peaceful nuclear program. Tehran believes pursuing it is a legitimate right. It’s “non-negotiatble.”

At the same time, Iranian officials try to build trust and resolve differences. They negotiate in good faith. In return, they’re rebuffed, stonewalled, and betrayed.

It’s up to Washington to break the deadlock and end sanctions. They’re harsh and unfair. Short of capitulation, tug-of-war diplomacy won’t end. Hillary Clinton said Tehran must “close the gaps. All of our sanctions will remain in place and continue to move forward” for the duration.

They’re about making Iran’s economy scream. They’re not for its legitimate nuclear program. That’s red herring camouflage for bigger fish to fry. At issue is installing puppet leaders Washington controls. War looks likely to try.

Negotiating with America accomplishes nothing. It never did before and won’t now. “Therefore, resistance seems to be the only option left for the Iranian side to convey its message to the West and to uphold the inalienable rights of the Iranian nation.”

America and Israeli want imperial dominance. Iran wants to live free in peace.

Sovereign states deserve that much and more. Wars won’t end until enough of them unite and resist. If not soon, they’ll continue and expand dangerously.

Never in history has one nation devoted so much firepower to global death and destruction.
Saving humanity depends on restoring peace and stability before it’s too late to matter. There may not be much time left to do it.

ABU ATA: Water apartheid leaves Palestinian children ill


Israeli forces destroy a Palestinian-owned water tank in Dura village near Hebron

in the occupied West Bank, 16 April 2012.(Mamoun Wazwaz / APA images)

by Alex Abu Ata - Window into Palestine - 23 May 2012
Via A4P

Faqua is one of many Palestinian villages not connected to a water network. A few kilometers east of Jenin, it is located right on the edge of the massive wall that Israel continues to build in the West Bank.

Unlike most of the other villages in the area, however, Faqua is allocated a certain amount of water from the Mekorot (Israel’s national water company) pipe that serves Jenin and is used to serve the Israeli settlements of Kadin and Ganim, which were evacuated in 2005. Following talks with Israel in 2005, the Palestinian Water Authority managed to obtain a quota of 300,000 liters of water per day for the village. Before 2005, the water from Faqua came from an “illegal” connection in Jenin, but the water was contaminated.

Yet for Faqua’s roughly 4,000 inhabitants, 300,000 liters amounts to a mere 75 liters of water per person per day — well under the minimum of 100 liters recommended by the World Health Organization.

Moreover, the filling point from which the PWA water tanker brings the water is located halfway between Jenin and Faqua, about 6 kilometers outside the village. The filling point is the only source of water available to the village — since Israel controls all sources of freshwater in the West Bank, and forbids Palestinians from drilling wells and extracting water from the rich aquifers lying under their feet.

Under the Olso accords, Palestinians are allocated 118 million cubic meters of water from the West Bank aquifers per year (compared to 483 million cubic meters for Israel), which isn’t enough for the growing Palestinian population.

Higher prices

Due to the difficulty in bringing water from the filling point, the price of the water is much higher than in cities connected to the water network: a 10 cubic meter tanker from the PWA costs 110 shekels ($29) in Faqua, compared to 40 shekels ($10) for those lucky enough to be connected to a Mekorot pipe. A private tanker bringing water from privately-owned wells in Jenin costs 140 shekels ($36) for the same amount of water, but the water is unregulated and of dubious quality.

Just on the northern edge of the village, Israel’s wall zigzags through the land, a stone’s throw away from the village’s houses. In this area, the concrete wall has been replaced with an electronic fence and a double row of barbed wire on both sides of a road used exclusively by patrolling Israeli military vehicles. The barbed wire allows the residents of the village to gaze into present-day Israel, but the view is only a sad reminder of the water abundance that Israeli citizens enjoy. Green and yellow fields of crops and cereals stretch across the plain, interspersed by a few hills.

“In the summer, the fields behind the wall are always green,” said Tahane Abu Khamis, a mother of three living just by the rows of barbed wire that mark the boundary between Israel and the West Bank. “You can see the sprinklers watering their crops and vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants,” she added, in a flat tone. In Faqua, the fertile land remains mostly uncultivated due to the lack of water; crops are grown sporadically during the few winter months that bring occasional rain.

Children ill from dirty water

In order to cope with the lack of water, many households in the village build their own cistern in order to collect rainwater. Abu Khamis’s cistern is underground, a few meters away from her home; a small concrete canal runs down a slope, channeling the rainwater to the cistern below. Her family used to boil the rainwater and use it for cooking and drinking, but when her children started to get sick, she decided to buy bottled water instead.

Abu Khamis’ unemployed brother, who lives in same house as her, with his own wife and children, still drinks water from the cistern in winter, unable to afford bottled water for his family. His youngest son is sick with diarrhea, and Abu Khamis suspects the water to be the cause.

Yet even during particularly rainy winters, water from the cistern runs out quickly — by the end of April this year, the cistern was already empty.

“We just bought our first tanker this year, but even the water from the private tankers isn’t clean, you can see insects inside,” Abu Khamis explained. Rather than buying water from the PWA tanker, which is not only cheaper but much cleaner, the village’s poorest families are forced to purchase tankers from private sellers, who let them pay late or in several installments.

Abu Khamis’s family belongs to this category; her husband, who works as a street cleaner, spends most of his salary on water, electricity and food. Abu Khamis predicts that the water from the tanker will run out in a few weeks and the two households will need to purchase a new one. For the 13 people living in her house, this amounts to a mere 35 liters of unclean water per day per person, at more than three times the rate consumers pay for tap water.

A small victory

And yet Faqua is the only village in the area that has access to Mekorot’s clean water — a small victory, and partial at best, according to Dr. Amin Abu Farha, who used to head the village council and struggled to obtain a water connection for the village. “After three years of pressure, we succeeded,” he recalled.

“But even after the Joint Water Committee’s positive decision, the Israeli authorities did nothing and said there was no water connection. We took them to a location on the green line [the boundary between Israel and the West Bank], and showed them a [Mekorot] pipe, and they said, ‘you will have water in a few days,’ which made us very hopeful. The Israeli bulldozers were there for three days, but nothing happened. Then they [the Israeli authorities] said that the water from this pipe was for agricultural use only and not for consumption, and that we should get water from another point. Of course, we had no way to verify what they were saying.”

A year later, the Palestinian Water Authority agreed to let Faqua use the current filling point outside the village.

Since 1999, the village has been asking for permission from the Israeli authorities to drill a well, but the request is still pending, according to Abu Farha. “This would solve all our problems,” he said. The well would have provided water for the ten surrounding villages, and the US Agency for International Development had already agreed to fund the project. But Israel never agreed to the project, instead pledging to provide a certain amount of water from its Mekorot pipe.

Faced with limited amounts of water sold at an expensive rate, the residents of Faqua have become experts at saving water, according to Mohammed Abu Salame, a teacher at the local school. “We are always thinking about how to save water and how to use it efficiently,” he said. “For example, I put a bottle of water in the toilet [tank] to reduce the amount of water used. I also put a stopper on the water pipes to reduce the flow.”

Abu Salame’s family and the two other families living under the same roof as him also rely on private water tankers and rainwater in winter. A rudimentary sand filter in the kitchen tap removes the largest impurities in the water. “People here have a strong immune system,” Abu Salame joked.


“If we had a water connection, it would be a different world for us,” he said. “It would solve a lot of problems, especially financially.”

When asked if he knows how much water Israelis consume, he shook his head. “All I know is one Israeli woman in Bet Shean can consume as much water as the whole village in one day,” he replied bitterly.

Alex Abu Ata is a French-Palestinian living working in his hometown of Jerusalem since 2011. He is an advocacy officer for EWASH, a coalition of 30 organizations working in the field of water and sanitation in the West Bank and Gaza.
