GHADIR KHOM : THE BEST OF RULERS FOR THE BEST UMMAH! PART III

The matter to be revealed in Ghadir Khom was of a major importance . The question is that: if this matter was not that of succession then what was it about ? Some answer must be given and the thing cannot remain unanswered because then it will have the form of a riddle and there are no riddles in the Koran . The Aya 67 of the Sourat ...

al Ma’ida is clear in ordaining the Prophet to carry on this matter and granting him protection while doing this .

What was the thing that completed the religion of the Prophet of Islam and what was the final task fallen upon him when he felt that his death was drawing near ? It was a major thing – no doubt - of great importa-nce without which the message - for the sake of which the Prophet of Islam dedicated his whole life and sacrificed everything- would remain incomplete . It was the final touch that- not only concluded the life and message of the last of the Prophets- but concluded –as well- all the messages of the Messengers who preceded him since the Prophet of Islam came to confirm them all .

How can we deny the Prophet the worry and concern about his own succession and about the future of the community when we do not deny this to the average person who will prepare for his eventual death and arrange and organize things for his children in terms of will and other measures and steps ? We have no right to deny the Prophet this attempt at arranging for after his death , or think that the Prophet- who spent his life time guiding and teaching and expounding and leading- will leave his community unattended .. This is completely illogical and not in tune with the kind of person the messenger of Islam was .

And how can we- when his own community -composed of the Muhajireen and Ansaar - seemed so much concerned with the succession -especially in the gathering of bani Saa’ida- where they were fighting over it – deny that the Prophet felt the same urgency ? This is beyond all logic. The Prophet addressed the faithful in Ghadir saying : “today I completed this religion that is yours ” which means that something the Prophet of Islam said and did that day made the message and the religion complete , there was no more anything to add and no room for further developments .

Some people might object that this succession was not a divine ordinance that -in case it happened on Ghadir day - this was a personal initiative -on behalf of the Prophet- but not divinely ordained . The answer is that : if the order is divine- as the Soura reveals- then its content must be divine as well, and the Prophet of Islam acted as ordained and even if ‘Ali’s name was not delivered as such , the Prophet being infallible , his acts and words must have also this quality of infallibility . So, in choosing his successor, he enjoyed the same quality .

And who would the Prophet of Islam choose ? He would choose the best for his community and the best is no doubt: Imam ‘Ali . The wisest, the most devout and learned , the most committed whom he chose as husband for his only daughter , the lady of the ladies , her father’s mother- the blessed Fatima- to whom he chose the best of men.

By the testimony of all , universally acknowledged, is the wisdom of the Imam that no one would question or doubt , a universal school by himself, a manual and a model for all spiritual aspirants of all religions and cultures . Qualified for teaching and leading and fighting , the door to the realm of true Islam. Who can deny the qualities of such Imam ? It is these qualities of the leader that the Prophet of Islam meant and not only the person of ‘Ali. Addressing his community, he did not just tell them to acknowledge ‘Ali in that day and time and place of the Ghadir , he told them to acknowledge these qualities in each time, in each day , and in each place.

Wherever and whenever, let the choice fall on people like the Imam, for leadership , for model and reference, let people like the Imam- in every age- lead the community to its salvation . Until now we can hear the Prophet of Islam telling us to make the right choice, as in Ghadir day , and until now we have objected and turned the deaf ear and defied the divine injunctions and kept on going as if God and religion had no existence , as if there was no difference between right and wrong .

Until now , we are reaping the fruits of such wrong thinking and wrong choice , reaping the fruit of disobeying God . For this reason religion has deteriorated and in consequence the quality of life , the spiritual quality of life and the human and spiritual values have deteriorated. Until we hear and yield to the call of the Ghadir , there will be no salvation for us and no justice for the world and no awakening to the Spirit of religion.

Sabbath Goy MP Denis MacShane Resigned

By Gilad Atzmon

Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 2:18 PM
 Seemingly, the list of Zionist swindlers never stops expanding. The shameless Labour MP Denis MacShane who made a political career chasing and harassing the critics of Jewish Power and Israel has resigned from Parliament yesterday after being found guilty by the Parliamentary standards committee.

The Zionist stooge who was also the chair of the all-party Parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism was falsifying his expenses -the Parliamentary committee found he had submitted no less than 19 false invoices which were "plainly intended to deceive" Parliament's expenses authority.
MacShane was amongst the leading voices within the rabid Zionist Labour Friend of Israel lobby group.

One can only hope, that the corrupted Labour MP has enough integrity in his system to admit that opposition to Israel and Jewish Power is far for being racist. It is actually driven by an ethical attempt to clean our public life of people of his ilk.

We want our politicians and political life to be liberated of Zionist power. We want our parties to be free of their MacShanes.

MacShane told the Zionist Jewish Chronicle that he remains “committed to work for progressive values, for Britain playing a full part in Europe, and for combating antisemitism”.
It is good to learn that a person who has just been exposed as a crook has the stomach to present himself as an authority on ‘progressive values’ and ‘antisemitsm’.
Denins MacShane better look in the mirror. It is actually him and his conduct as an avid Sabbath Goy, that turn opposition to Israel, its lobby and Jewish power into an ethical obligation.

David “I’m A Zionist” Cameron

David “I’m A Zionist” Cameron Runs Off To Germany & Attacks British Muslims

The Bullingdon buffoon David “I’m a zionist” Cameron http://www.haaretz.com/news/tory-leader-calls-himself-zionist-u-k-jews-campaign-against-boycott-1.223009 scuttled off to Munich to attack British Muslims, giving the English Defence League the credence they crave, on the very day the racist EDL continue their assault on Muslims in Luton.
Perhaps the most telling statement he made was:

“This ignores that fact that many of those found guilty of terrorist offences in the UK have been graduates, and often middle class. They point to the grievances about Western foreign policy and say: stop riding roughshod over Muslim countries and the terrorism will end. But there are many people – Muslim and non-Muslim alike – who are angry about western foreign policy and don’t resort to acts of terrorism. They also point to the profusion of unelected leaders across the Middle East and say: stop propping them up and creating the conditions for extremism to flourish.
But this raises the question: if a lack of democracy is the problem, why are there extremists in free and open societies?
Yes, we must resolve sources of tension – not least in Palestine.
And yes, we should be on the side of openness and political reform in the Middle East.”

The Akh agrees with LondonMuslim that this is no attack on Multiculturalism or as others will seek to highlight about a new concept called “muscular liberalism” “what’s that then – Clegg and Cable on steroids?). The reality is this speech which was probably written by Israelite Michael Gove is actually a grotesque racist attack on normal decent Muslims going about their everyday business in Cameron’s collapsing society yet sadly being tarred with the same brush as a small but vociferous bunch of extremist fruitcakes.

The issue of immigration is embedded in the DNA of Tory closet racists the new test is when Tories talk of Muslims you can be sure that they are in serious political trouble while talk of dinner table Islamophobia by Sayeeda Warsi was a temporary diversion.

Lets be clear we need no lectures from Cameron and his fellow bunch of Eton boys. Muslims increasingly are tacking the extremists within our community unlike Cameron who remains silent when Tory Councillors abuse Muslims. Cameron while you revert to Maggies tone about the UK being “swamped” or Michael Howards “are you thinking what we are thinking”, the reality is Muslims today in Luton are victims and on the receiving end of a violent riot.

Not all Muslims are extremists, blah, blah, blah….but just throw enough mud at the religion to curry favour with reactionary populist sentiment on the subject to deflect from the right royal screwing you’re giving them through cutbacks in services and jobs and massively hiking their cost of living.
Also, why make a speech about the UK in Munich and not here?

Why make such a speech on the day the EDL are holding their biggest march?

‘This terrorism is indiscriminate and thrust upon us’ – Nothing to do with Western foreign policy over decades then, just them picking on us for no reason?

‘Our way of life is at stake’ – Our way of life is more at threat from this coalition government than by any extremists.
In The Spectator, Peter Oborne writes that the Neocons in The Conservative Party are winning the argument about how to deal with Muslims.
Where’s the divide?

The British debate about political Islam is catastrophically muddled 29 January 2011
The outcry over Sayeeda Warsi’s speech on Islamophobia last week cannot be understood without a clear grasp of the balance of power within the coalition government. There are two factions, and the strongest can loosely be described as neoconservative.

This faction remains an unconditional supporter of the United States of America, continues to defend the Iraq invasion, powerfully admires and in some cases worships Tony Blair, and automatically takes the side of Israel in the middle east.

Fall without umbrella .. O King Solomon..ًWould stones forgive us ??

By Naram Sargon

How do I apologize from my heart when I convey to him news of Syrian cities destroyed, instead of Haifa beyond Haifa ..by the so-called "revolution"....

I do not think anyone understands the appeal of the Syrian cities better than the men Syrian Arab army .. they are now close to these cities whispering and complaining to them alone .. and smiling at them from under the bloody bandages .. and insisting on shaking hands with them despite the pain in the fingers and palms .. rising from beds to hug them ..

But what about the language of "rebels" .. Who can read their language and understand their logic? Nobody, not even King Solomon. King Solomon himself would find himself in trouble if we ask  him to translates the writings of the Arab Spring ..
To be contininued

السقوط بلا مظلة .. هل ستغفر لنا الحجارة أيها الملك سليمان؟؟ ..

بقلم نارام سرجون

كيف أعتذر من قلبي عندما أنقل له أخبارا عن المدن السورية التي حطمتها "الثورة" تحطيما لايليق الا بمدن حيفا ومابعد بعد حيفا ..

كيف نعتذر من مدائننا لأننا لم نحمها كما يجب من هؤلاء المجانين الرعاع الذين يتمترسون في المتاحف والقلاع وفي بيوت بريئة لاينتمون اليها؟ .. وكيف نصافحها من جديد وأصابعها ملفوفة ومضمدة بالشاش؟ .. وكيف نعانقها وتعانقنا وأذرعها مغطاة بالجبائر .. وكيف نقبل أيديها ونطلب الغفران ونحن نبكي؟ .. كيف نقبلها من جديد ووجهها محروق بشدة .. وشفاهها حمراء من نزف الدم القاني..

هل تغفر لنا مدائننا مافعلنا بها اذ تركناها للقبائل البدوبة كي تسبيها كالسبايا .. وهل تسامحنا العصافير التي صارت تفيق على صوت الرصاص والمتفجرات؟؟!! ..

كيف نعانق هذذه المدن الجريحة وكيف نكافئ صبرها على جنون ثوارنا الذين لايفقهون ولايسمعون؟؟ .. وأين ندفن شوارعها وأي صلاة جنازة سنصلي عليها؟؟ ..

من يفهم لغة المدائن فليقل لنا ماذا يسمع ..أأنينا يسمع أم تحديا؟؟ .. أو فليدلنا على ترجمان يقرأ لغات المدائن ..أو لغة الثوار الذين يطعنون المدن في خواصرها ويمشطون شعرها بأمشاط الديناميت و يضعون في أصابعها الجميلة سيارات مفخخة بدل خواتم العرس ..

لا أعتقد أن أحدا يفهم نداء المدن السورية كما يفهمها رجال الجيش العربي السوري ..وليس هناك ترجمان يفهم لغة مدننا مثل رجال جيشنا .. وهم الآن الأثيرون والمقربون لدى هذه المدن التي تهمس لهم وحدهم .. وتشكو لهم وحدهم .. وتبتسم لهم من تحت الضماد والشاش المدمى .. وتصر على مصافحتهم رغم الألم في الأصابع والراحات ..وتنهض من سريرها لتعانقهم عناقا طويلا ..

ولكن ماذا عن لغة "الثوار" .. ومن يستطيع أن يقرأ لغتهم وأن يفهم منطقهم الذي لايستطيع حتى الملك سليمان النبي أن يفك طلاسمه؟؟

لست الملك سليمان كي أفهم لغة الطيور والنمل والكائنات .. لكن ليس هناك أكثر حظا هذه الأيام من الملك سليمان بن داود الذي عرف أنه يعرف لغة الطير والنمل والحيوان .. الملك سليمان محظوظ جدا أنه ليس في هذا الزمن لأنه كان سيصاب بالحرج الشديد ان طلب منه أن يتحدث الى المعارضات العربية والثورجيين العرب .. فقد كان سيجد أنهم لايتحدثون لغة معروفة لدى أي من المخلوقات والكائنات الحية التي عرفتها الحياة .. ولم تستدل عليها قواميس الطيور والأسماك والأدغال ولاقواميس عاد ولاثمود ..

الملك سليمان نفسه سيجد نفسه في ورطة اذا ماطلب منه أن يترجم مايسمعه أو مايقرؤه في كتابات الربيع العربي .. وستجحظ عيناه وهو يحملق في شعارات الربيع والثوار ومافعلوه في بلدانهم من فوضى وعن الجنون الذي أطلقوه وعن المستقبل الذي فتكوا به فتكا لايشبهه الا فتك أسماك القرش الجائعة بمن عثر به الحظ وسقط بينها جريحا تثير دماؤه أعصابها ..

ان عملية قراءة لغة الثورات العربية عملية مرهقة للعقل والضمير النبوي .. ولن أتردد في أن أقول ان الملك سليمان النبي سيجد في الحديث مع النمل والطيور فائدة ومغازي ومعاني أكثر من الحديث مع كل الثوار العرب ومثقفيهم وكتابهم من المحيط الى الخليج أفقيا وعموديا ومن أقصى اليمين الى أقصى اليسار .. وربما سيفضل سليمان أن يتبادل الرأي في الحياة مع الخيول والأبقار وعن فوائد البرسيم ونكهاته على أن يتحدث عن الحياة مع معارض عربي كان شيوعيا أو تقدميا ثم انضم الى الاسلاميين أو مع مفكر عربي ثورجي تكوّن من خلطة محتال اسرائيلي الهوية ومسيحي وعربي وشيوعي الميل وقومي واسلامي قبل أن يصير مفكرا عربيا وقطريا وتونسيا .. وليس عندي شك أن النبي سليمان سيجد الأعذار القوية ليولي الأدبار قبل أن يصل اليه وفد الجامعة العربية ونبيل العربي لأنه سيجد أن الحديث مع البغال والحمير فيه متعة أكثر ومنافع للناس من الحديث مع نبيل العربي وجامعته وهرطقتها ..ونهيقها ..

وستكون العقوبة الأشد على الملك سليمان ان طلب منه أن يفهم لغة المعارضين السوريين وبالذات أن ينضم الى اجتماعات مجالسهم وأجنحة معارضتهم وقصاصاتها لأنه يستحيل عليه أن يفهم كلمة واحدة مما يقال .. فلا توجد كلمة واحدة لها علاقة بما يليها أو بما قبلها .. وهي أشبه بحروف لعبة الكلمة الضائعة أو الكلمات المتقاطعة التي يتسلى بها المسافرون الذين ملّوا على طريق السفر الطويل .. فهي تجمع متناقضات مثل (حرية + ديمقراطية + قطر + حمد + موزة + مال + عيديد + تركيا + فرنسا + كرامة + استقلال + علم احتلال + ولايات متحدة + هيلاري + هنري ليفي + اسلام + الله أكبر + ناتو + اسرائيل + حرية !!! …) والكلمة الضائعة هنا هي (الوطن السوري) وهم لن يجدوها ولن يحلوا كلماتها المتقاطعة .. فبين هذه الكلمات المتنافرة يتحول الوطن السوري الى (الوطن الضائع) أو (الوطن الذي ضاع) ..

سيحار سليمان في فك شيفرة المعارضة السورية التي تريد حرية للسوريين وتبني حريتهم في الدوحة بجانب قاعدة عسكرية أمريكية وهي دوحة اسرائيلية بلا منازع .. ويزورها كل موساد الأرض للاصطياف والاصطياد من أسراب المعارضات العربية وطيورها البلهاء..

وسيحك رأسه ويهرشه بقوة وهو يحاول أن يفهم ماذا يريد المعارضون السوريون بالضبط .. وكيف يقولون بأنهم أحرار مستقلون مع أن مالهم الذي في جيوبهم ليس مالهم ..لأنه ليس مما زرعوا وباعوا .. وليس مما نسجوا وحاكوا .. أو مما عصروا وسقوا .. بل انه مال من باعوا وطنا .. وعصروا شعبا وشربوا دما .. ونسجوا خيانة ولبسوها وارتدوا جلود السوريين الفقراء كمعاطف الفراء..

بأية لغة سيشرح ثوار سورية بالذات للملك سليمان تفسيرهم للاغتيالات وقتل كل من يحاول أن يعترض عليهم ولايبارك لهم؟ .. لايهم ان كان فنانا شابا وأميرا مثل الشهيد “محمد رافع” أم محاميا أم طبيب أسنان .. أم ضابطا في الدفاع الجوي .. وبأية لغة سيتحدث الثوار السوريون عن تبرير العنف تجاه شخصيات مدنية؟؟ .. ثورة تدعي أنها قامت لرفع سلطان الخوف عن المدنيين من سلطة الأمن ورعبه وتهديده للناس فاذا بها تريد اسكات الناس واخافتهم بالرصاص .. واغلاق أفواههم بالدم ..وتنصيب الخوف سلطانا وملك ملوك على أبنائهم وأجيالهم ..

سيقول الثورجيون انها ثورة الكرامة والحرية .. ولكن ماذا بقي من الكرامة اذا نطق رصاص الاغتيال ضد كل من لاترضى عنه الثورة؟؟ مالفرق بين من يطلق النار على معارضين له في بيوتهم وبين من يطلق النار على متظاهرين معارضين في الشوارع كما ادعت الثورة؟؟ وكيف سيأمن الناس على حياتهم وكراماتهم اذا صار الثورجيون يديرون مقرات أجهزة المخابرات لأنهم مارسوا القتل بعنف مفرط عندما كانوا خارجها؟ .. فكيف اذا صاروا في داخلها يأمرون وهم ظلال الله على الأرض والمباركون الأتقياء والأنقياء؟؟ ..

لكن الملك سليمان سيسأل الضباع التي تفهم لغة الثوار السوريين أن تنقل لهم مايقولون وستقول له الضباع التي تتحدث نفس لغتهم: أيها الملك العظيم .. هؤلاء قوم يقتلون لاخافة الناس ولاسقاط كرامتهم بالدم لأنه ليس لثائر كرامة عندما يقتل الناس .. وليس لثائر كرامة بعد أن وهبها لقطر وتركيا والناتو .. وهؤلاء أيها الملك العظيم يقتلون لأنهم يريدون أن يحكموا الناس بسلطان العبودية .. انه حكم الضباع اذا غابت السباع .. فويل الناس من الضباع ان تركت لها الساحات السباع ..

وستستدرك الخيول الأصيلة حديث الضباع وتصححه وتقول للملك سليمان: يعتقد هؤلاء أيها الملك العظيم انهم سيخيفون الناس ويخمدون أصواتهم .. لكن خوف الناس من جنونهم سيدفع الجميع للاستشراس في صدهم وسحقهم .. وملاحقتهم ..والاستبسال في القائهم خارج اسوار الحياة .. كلما اشتد الخوف منهم اشتد رفض الناس لهم وامتد ..وكلما أمعنوا في العنف أمعن الناس في الغائهم ..وبالغوا في استئصالهم ..وفي حرق جذورهم ..وفروعهم ..

وسيرى سليمان لغة جديدة لم يتحدث بها البشر ولا أي من كائنات الله .. ستستعصي لغة الثورجيين السوريين على كل الرموز والشيفرات ولغات الحيوانات والرقم المسمارية السورية والهيروغليفية المصرية التي تعلمها سليمان النبي.. فهناك لغة الكتابة بالجثث .. والتنقيط باستعمال الرؤوس المقطوعة ..والفواصل بأشلاء الضحايا وأطرافهم .. ومن أهم لهجاتها القاء الجثث الحمراء من فوق جسور نهر العاصي أو من فوق مباني البريد في حلب ..

وهناك عبارة من كلمتين اثنتين أعلن الملك سليمان استسلامه وعجزه عن ادراك معناهما وموسيقاهما والنشوة التي ترافقهما والرعشة التي تختلج قائليهما وكأنهم على سرير اللذة في أحضان غانية .. انها تكبير (الله أكبر) وهم يقتلون أسرى استسلموا وصاروا بلا سلاح ..يقتلونهم بلذة ونشوة وتشف وغل مريض ..لايصدر الا ممن رضع من اثداء دراكيولا ..

لن يفهم سليمان هنا أي شيء .. ولاأين هو الله ولاأين هو أكبر .. وسيطلب العون من قطيع من الكلاب التي تفهم لغة هؤلاء المغاوير من الثوار وستقول له: ياأيها الملك الرشيد .. هؤلاء يقتلون لأنهم لم يعودوا قادرين على الحياة من غير قتل .. صار القتل حياتهم .. وكلما عاشوا أكثر قتلوا أكثر .. ولايمكن أن يفهموا طعم الحياة طالما أنهم تذوقوا طعم القتل ونكهة الدم .. وطالما تشمموا في خياشيمهم أنفاس الضحايا وبخار الدم الساخن .. ورقصوا على عذابات واستغاثات الضحايا ..

ويأتي قطيع آخر من أبناء آوى ليدلي بدلوه ويتحدث لسليمان النبي وليعلمه لغة جديدة لم يسمع بها وتقول: أيها الملك سليمان ان “الله أكبر” هنا تعني حرفيا: من الفرات الى النيل حدودك يااسرائيل!!

وسيسمع سليمان النبي لغة سيصفها بأنها أحقر اللغات وأشدها انحطاطا رغم أنه لايفهم منها حرفا واحدا لكن في أنغامها وتواترات الصوت فيها شيئا مثيرا للاشمئزاز والتقزز .. انها ضجيج التفجيرات في الأحياء الفقيرة البائسة لقتل الفقراء .. وهل هناك في دمشق أحياء أكثر فقرا من أحياء مثل مزة 86؟ أو عش الورور والمخيمات التي لم يدخلها برهان غليون ولم يسمع بها السيدا ولايقدر رياض سيف أن يمضي فيها فترات نقاهة لربع ساعة؟ .. لا يقتل الفقراء الا نذل ابن نذل ونذلة ولن ينجب الا سلالات الأنذال؟؟

ولكن الملك سليمان الذي يفهم لغة المدن السورية دونا عن سائر مدن الدنيا يقول لها وهو يربت على كتفها: لاتجزعي ..فهذه التفجيرات تقول ان الغاية منها هي أن يتقاتل السوريون في حرب طاحنة .. وأن يفقد الناس صبرهم وأن ينصرفوا لنيل ثأرهم بأنفسهم .. والأهم أن أوامر التفجير قد سمعتها اللقالق قادمة من تركيا لأن تركيا متوترة جدا وتعيش حالة عصبية وتريد رفع سوية الضغط في الداخل السوري أملا في حدوث انفجار يخفف من مصيبة انهيار المعارضة السورية التدريجي .. فهناك من يقول ان جلد تركيا يتفتق بالأزمات .. أو أنها قادمة الى الدم ..أو أن الدم قادم اليها ..

في اشتداد الاغتيالات والتفجيرات أيتها المدن الجميلة تعبير عن حقيقة لايمكن بعد اليوم اخفاؤها وهي أن من يعجز في الميدان ويستشعر الخسارة في المعارك الكبرى يلجأ الى أسلوب الانتقام العشوائي ..وأن من ينقل قنابله الى المدن فلأنه لم يعد له أمل في خطوط المواجهة .. والقوي هو من يلجأ الى تفجير الجبهات وليس الى تفجير الأحياء ..وما ان تصل القنابل الى الأحياء حتى يعني ذلك أن من على الجبهة قد نال منهم التعب واليأس .. ولاأمل الا بضرب الخصم تحت الحزام ..انه مثل استعمال مظلة المطر بدل باراشوت المظليين الكبير..أو مثل رجل ..

الملك سليمان يقرأ في عربدة المعارضة ولغة عنفها وفي نشاط المسلحين السوريين ضد الأهداف المدنية السورية بعد أن ضعفت امكانية استهداف المراكز الحساسة يقرأ فيها لغة التاجر الذي كسدت بضاعته ومر موسمها وصار يعرض بضاعته على البسطات وفي الحارات الضيقة بعد أن كانت تعرض في المخازن الكبرى ..

ان موسم الربيع انتهى .. والثورجيون الذين كانوا يعتقدون أن الربيع بلا نهاية تنبهوا الى أن هناك من انتظر ربيعهم يتهيأ لرحلة الصيف.. وتذاكر رحلة الصيف ليس لهم فيها شيء..

.. فالمعارضون السوريون بدؤوا يدركون أن الرهان عليهم يتساقط وأن الحبال التي شدت من أشرعتهم بدأت بالتراخي والوهن ..وأن الصواري العالية لمراكب الثورة تقصفت في الريح العاتية وأنواء الغضب التي عصفت بها اثر اعصار الجيش العربي السوري .. المعارضة تبيع بضاعتها بعصبية .. وتريد الرد على هيلاري كلينتون بأن المعارضة موجودة ويجب الاستمرار في الرهان عليها ..أو على الأقل ان عليها أن تبقيها مربوطة بأحزمة الأمان..بدل القائها من ارتفاع شاهق من دون مظلات ..

الشرق الأوسط ينتظر صوتا يشق الفضاء والأجواء .. انه صوت سقوط .. بالطبع لم يعد أحد ينتظر سقوط النظام السوري الذي لن يسقط بعد اليوم .. بل الكل بانتظار سقوط شيء آخر .. لقد بدأ ضجيج السقوط عندما رمي وسام الحسن من أعلى ذروة في طموحات تيار المستقبل من دون مظلاته فتحطم شر تحطيم دون أن يسأل عنه أحد .. تلاه مباشرة دفع هيلاري كلينتون لاعضاء المجلس الوطني السوري واحدا واحدا من ارتفاع شاهق دون مظلات .. وليس هذا التزامن بالتخلي عن وسام الحسن والمجلس الوطني السوري مصادفة ..

وهناك سقوط يتوقعه الكثيرون قد يعلن عنه قريبا قبل أو بعد الانتخابات الامريكية .. فقد بدأ موسم البيع والشراء .. وبدأت مواسم السقوط .. قريبا ..

الساقطون لم تعد مطالبهم وتوسلاتهم في أن يبقوا على متن الطائرة التي حلقت بهم في أعالي الربيع العربي .. بل ليست لهم أمنية الا رميهم بالمظلات الكبيرة .. أو حتى بمظلات المطر .. فالسقوط من دون مظلات مريع ..مريع جدا ..واسألوا من تحطم على الأرض بعد سقوطه من شاهق .. من عزمي بشارة الى برهان غليون .. الى خالد مشعل ..

Muslim Brotherhood vs. Salafists: Gulf States Face a Clash of Ideas

Fouad Ibrahim

French philosopher Jacques D’Hondt once wrote:

“Things never stay as they are, because the world is in a constant state of flux.”

People who busy themselves with pedantic arguments never cease to ponder the fact that passion for political wars grows stronger when the wars are fought over doctrinal issues — even if that in itself is misleading — for the belligerents in any doctrinal battleground are first and foremost politicians.

[The French philosopher] Louis Pierre Althusser always warned about the vacillating relationship between politics and thought; for what seems to be an intellectual struggle often times is nothing but a misleading pretense of such.

The intellectual struggle between the Salafists and the Muslim Brotherhood is primarily a political one, even if it appeared to be an intellectual one, with each party entrenching itself behind ideological fortifications while striving to attain very specific political goals. There are many political prizes that free those involved of the need to engage in sterile intellectual debates, and the fruits of the Arab Spring are riper and more politically enticing than in any other possible field.

The lazy approach towards the strategies of stereotypical change are no longer viable; for Salafism — in its traditional Saudi form — is no longer predicated on effecting change from the bottom up, by Islamizing society. And the Muslim Brotherhood, as a group that grew in response to the downfall of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924, is no longer exclusively bound by the condition of effecting change from the top down, by Islamizing the state. For the winds of politics are blowing from every intellectual direction and imposing their own conditions, toppling in their path many taboos that were specifically put in place to build the isolationist identity of the Islamist groups and strengthen their organizational capabilities.

The Arab Spring is not the only instigator that caused a democratic discourse to emanate from within a religious discourse. In his book "Freedom or the Flood: An Objective Study of Religious Political Discourse and Its Historical Phase" (2003), the Kuwaiti Salafist cleric Hashem al-Muteiri, borrowed from Khaled Mohammed Khaled — who reverted from his leftist leanings — to formulate a consensual view between Islam and democracy. He presented an unprecedented Salafist political discourse predicated on the notion of a nation’s right to choose its ruling regime, have a say in its decisions, a right to hold it accountable, depose it, put conditions upon it, monitor it, criticize it, and have the right to freely think and express itself, resist the regime’s tyranny and oppose it, the right to belong to organizations, intellectual and political groups, the need for justice and equality of all society’s members before the courts, and an equal opportunity for all to hold public jobs. It is true that Muteiri tied these notions with Shariah Law, but the mere fact of accepting the principle of change means that the “practical roots” of the doctrine have changed. We are no doubt faced with an anachronism. For there is a tremendous schism between modern and traditional constructs, and the Salafist and Brotherhood religious forces’ contrived attempts to keep pace with the conditions of establishing a modern state do not relieve them of their responsibility to seriously and comprehensively reevaluate their intellectual legacy.

The thin shell of the conflict between the ruling regimes of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the Muslim Brotherhood cracks to reveal issues that have nothing to do with the public aspects of the dispute and new facts emerge from behind the continuous fear-mongering about the danger posed by the Brotherhood in the Gulf. Furthermore, the statements issued by Dubai’s police chief, Dhahi Khalfan, about the dangers that the Brotherhood poses to the Gulf states’ regimes add to, instead of alleviate, the mystery surrounding the long term targets associated with exaggerating the Brotherhood’s danger, as there is a competing Salafist giant being politically and hastily groomed to compete against the Brotherhood wherever it may have a presence. Observers can clearly notice a trend among Salafist groups to “ritualize” politics, and transform them into a sacred rite following long years of them being considered acceptable only out of necessity when believers lives are at stake — just like cannibalism is acceptable in certain cases. It thus came to follow that latter day Salafist personalities, such as Nasiruddin al-Albani, Ibn Uthaymeen and Ibn Jabreen espoused the principle of engaging in elections and joining the parliaments of countries ruled by non-Muslim secular regimes, in order to prevent corruption and empower believers to occupy offices the powers of which could be used to reform and fix whatever damage was inflicted on the fate of Muslims. This change was akin to a free pass allowing democratic thought to filter into the Salafist mentality, contrary to [anti]-Salafists literature’s claims that participation’s sole hidden goal is to take over the state.

There is no doubt that the fundamental change in the Salafist mentality that draws it closer to political life is causing real concern for the ruling Saudi family. Simply put, because Salafist politics carry with them very dangerous repercussions that transform them into ready-made substitutes for the rule of the Al-Saud family.  Contrary to the opinion of those who think that the relationship between the Salafist movement and the ruling Saudi regime is aimed at quashing democratic change and confronting Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood, it is necessary to point out that this relationship underwent dramatic transformations that deprived the Saudi regime of a great deal of its capacity to control Salafist organizations.

These transformations started internally, when the second-tier leadership of the Salafist movement broke away after the second Gulf crisis and formed a separate social movement equivalent to the official one. In that movement grew the Jihadi Salafist doctrine which spread side by side and sometimes in total coordination with al-Qaeda. This dangerous transformation put an end to the preset formula that governed the Salafist movement’s relationship with the Saudi ruling family, whereby it stopped being a guaranteed source of legitimacy for the Saudi regime. The ruling family and other Gulf sheikhdoms are still counting on the Salafist movement to be their source of political and popular legitimacy which would thwart the spread of the Brotherhood’s contagion into the Gulf region, especially considering that the wiser religious elites use the Brotherhood to develop their dynamic and political momentum.

There is no doubt that when the political field becomes tightly controlled, leaving no room for new players, such as in cases of extreme political and ideological polarization, the Saudi ruling family will run out of acceptable options and will be forced to plant Salafist parties wherever there exists competition on the Sunni political scene.

Until now, the Saudi initiative has been limited to transplanting the Salafist al-Nour Party experiment outside Egyptian borders, after having entrenched it there, intellectually and popularly, and thus create a political wing for the “Muhammadiyah Association of Ansar al-Sunna,” which saw the light in Cairo in 1926 with backing from the Saudi government. Some members of the association went on to become members of the Saudi “Council of Senior Scholars,” such as Sheikh Abdel Razzak Afifi and Abdel Razzak Hamza, while Sheikh Abdel Zaher Abul Samah became the first Imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca. The initiative, at its core, is undoubtedly aimed at limiting the Brotherhood’s spread. But the challenges engendered by the Middle East’s revolutionary experiments have transformed this initiative into a mere uncertain adventure; for seeking shelter from the Islamist wave heading towards power entails probabilities of the Salafists catching the same [power seeking] virus as well.

Accepting the democratic game’s rules would allow Salafist parties to not only strive to attain power, but would also encourage local Salafists to use their status of “keepers of the hallowed secret” to become “rulers of the land,” according to the new doctrine espoused by Saudi Salafist hawks, according to which [religious] scholars and not princes should rule. The Salafist vs. Brotherhood conflict in the coming phase will be at its most intense, compared to the Sunni-Shiite conflict, despite those who are instigating and benefiting from the latter both regionally and internationally. But the Brotherhood’s ascent to power in countries of the Arab Spring is fueling fears that Gulf sheikhdoms have never had before, especially in Saudi Arabia, because the concerns are existential: power, legitimacy, identity and fate. This article was first published in Arabic on 30/10/2012.

فتن كقطع الليل المظلم

فتن كقطع الليل المظلم

 حين يقاتل المسلم أخاه

 بدل أن يقاتل أعداء الاسلام الحقيقين

Listening to Zionist stooges like this person, I ask: will the Zionist "October surprise" next FALSE FLAG target Mekka/ Ka'aba during Hajj or Eid-Aladha and blame it on Iran to ignite a catastrophic sectarian war between Shia'a and Sunni Muslims to justify a full invasion and destruction of Iran?

Comment by Alex

I would add to above Videos posted by Sister Nahida the following.

Unfortunatley, this Zionist stooge is not an isolated voice, read this well-known Journalist, revealing his sectarian zionist color, saying the same:

"I know that some (Shiit's) religious authorities dream of the day when they would be able to take control of the Kaaba (the holiest place in Islam in Makka), which would enable them to unearth the Prophet tomb extricate the bones of Abu Bakr and Omar ibn al Khatab in order to burn them to avenge the “grievances of the House of the Prophet.

Many people may understandably relate to such matters rather sarcastically. Others might argue that these are far-fetched vagaries and mythology that can only be the product of infinitely sick minds.

Yes, this may well be the case. But this doesn’t mean that for millions of people, who blindly heed instructions from their religious clerics, these ghoulish designs are far from being far fetched; they are actually plans for the future, even manuals for action.

Unfortunately, there is a preponderance of ill-will that keeps coming from the Iranian and Shiite religious establishment, which gives rise to and justify Sunni fears and suspicions...."
"...Iranians, and Shiites in general, who curse Yazid, the son of Muawiya, nonstop for his alleged responsibility for the murder more 1370 years ago of Imam Husein, the Prophet’s grandson and God-like figure in Shiite Islam, are decidedly and doggedly siding with the Yazid of Damascus, whose Shabbiha or thugs are carrying out pornographic, Nazi-like atrocities against the Sunni people of Syria for daring to demand freedom and dignity from one of the most evil tyrannies under the sun...."

Elie Wiesel On Haaretz

Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 10:14AM

By Gilad Atzmon

Elie Wiesel, the world's most famous Holocaust survivor, the man who turned the Holocaust into a business career gave this week an interview to Haaretz.

This kosher ‘humanist’ whose interest in pain is confined to ‘one people only’ stated that he hopes that “the Mossad, which caught a man like Eichmann, will be able to catch Ahmadinejad and get him tried in an international court.”

This Zionist Elder must have forgotten that Eichmann wasn’t tried in an international court, he was actually sentenced to death by an Israeli court. And while Ahmadinejad travels freely around the world, it is Israeli mass murderers and war criminals who have to think twice before embarking on an international flight.

In the entire interview, neither Haaretz nor Wiesel referred to the Palestinian holocaust. Seemingly, both the Jewish media outlet and the Shoa merchant are concerned only with the suffering of one people.

Elie Wiesel, may be one of the strongest examples of the banality of Zionist mind. He is concerned only with the primacy of Jewish suffering and has totally failed to transform the Holocaust into a universal message.

Wiesel is critical of Germany, German people and their culture. “We must not forget what civilized people once did. People raised on Kant, Fichte and Hegel. People who listened to Beethoven and read Schiller in the morning, and in the afternoon killed children and parents."

But what about those people who don’t read Kant, Fichte and Hegel, but instead read the Old Testament and Wiesel’s Shoa literature? Do they not kill children and parents? Do they not engage in mass killings of innocent civilians pouring white phosphorous on UNRA shelters? Yes, they do – and for more than six decades, slightly longer than Wiesel’s Shoa.

GHADIR KHOM AND SUCCESSION IN ISLAM PART II

We have chosen to bring up this matter of Ghadir day to be discussed objectively among objective people that are impartial and well wishers of humanity and this not in order to promote or increase differences but in order to have the matter debated in the right place by the right people, instead of being fought over in several battlefields causing b...

loodshed and loss of lives and victims as we are witnessing nowadays . Overlooking the whole thing would not help , let us try to cast a light on what really happened on that day in the light of what has been revealed by the holy Koran itself.

The context definitely of the Ghadir day was that of tension; there was tension among the believers and between them and the Prophet of Islam and this tension had started before the Ghadir day and probably continued till after the death of the Prophet of Islam and increased even more in the days of the four Caliphs to culminate in the event of Karbala’ . But this had started during the lifetime of the Prophet.

The context of the ‘Aya 67 of Sourat Al Ma’ida is that of enmity between the previous messengers of God who preceded the Prophet and their congregation, of how the community around Christ or other messengers had swayed from the injunctions of the religion . This enmity -experienced by Christ or Prophet Ibrahim - and the failure of their followers to apply the religious rules and injunctions reveal the situation of the Prophet of Islam himself who had the same experience with his own community of rebellion and non obedience to the word of God.

There is warning in this Sourat and recall of how the congregation of previous messengers did not carry on the ordinances of God . This is the general context and spirit of the Sourat and reveals the fact that the Prophet of Islam felt unsafe within his own community , and the important message- he wanted to convey to them- was hindered because it contained material that endangered the life of the Prophet because it would be considered provocative by the community and- for this reason- had to wait for a sign from God whereby the Prophet of Islam would be granted protection .

This ‘Aya 67 was revealed to grant divine protection to the Prophet of Islam in relation to the important message he had to deliver in Ghadir day, and to order him to reveal it to the community- without delay- because such message was of great importance to the point that it exposed and threatened the life of the Prophet .

Now – logically speaking - this cannot be a secondary matter that threatened the life of the Prophet or an inoffensive message that had to do with the completion of religion or pointing out the two legacies : that of the Holy Koran and the Tradition . These facts could not and should not be considered as provocative or life threatening .

What was revealed in Ghadir day was of extreme importance for the future of the community, in addition to being life threatening to the Prophet and- logically- this could have been succession and it is succession . Once granted divine protection- according to the interpretation of the ‘Aya 67- the Prophet dismissed the guards who were assuring his protection and relied on God , the message was thus revealed by God’s will and religion had entered a new phase of confrontation.

It's time for sanctions on Israel

The merger of the rightwing parties will increase extremism and racism against Palestinians. Sanctions are the only answer

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/nov/04/europe-impose-sanctions-israel-palestinians
 

Ahead of the Israeli elections next January, a merger between the parties of the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and the foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has been announced. They are to contest the elections on a joint list, intending to become the largest bloc in the Knesset.

The move is seen as an achievement for both men. Netanyahu was shaken by the recent decline in the popularity of his Likud party at the rate of one seat per week. More specifically, his apprehension revolved around the possible return of Ehud Olmert, the former Israeli prime minister, as leader of an opposition alliance consisting of Tzipi Livni, the former foreign minister; Shaul Mofaz, leader of Kadima; and Yair Labed, a rising political star.

Netanyahu's avowed objective is to assemble a major political force that would guarantee his re-election and ensure his dominance of the Israeli right. Lieberman is the main beneficiary of this alliance: it guarantees power for his party, Yisrael Beiteinu, and under the agreement, Lieberman can choose to run whatever ministry he desires, including the important ministry of defence. He will gain political legitimacy and be transformed from a mere participant in a coalition government to a key player. If in recent years the government has been a construct of Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, the defence minister, the next government will be a Netanyahu-Lieberman one. Lieberman can also contest Likud's leadership after Netanyahu.

The alliance reflects a lunge to the right, at a time of greater extremism in Israeli politics. Previously, Lieberman was very much on the margins. When he became minister of transport, a minister in the Labour party resigned, refusing to sit at the same table with him.

After that, Lieberman became the foreign minister. Many thought this would provoke the ire of the international community. But he was warmly received in European capitals. If one had said 10 years ago that Lieberman would become foreign minister, one would have been accused of ignorance, if not of hostility and incitement against Israel.

Among the obvious outcomes of this new coalition is the fact that Likud has become more extremist, and Lieberman more influential and more dangerous. A few months ago Lieberman called for the toppling of President Mahmoud Abbas, despite the fact that the Palestinian leader has maintained the peace in the shadow of the occupation, and continues to pursue negotiations – even in the absence of an Israeli partner. Lieberman also called for economic, political and security sanctions on the Palestinian Authority after it began diplomatic moves to gain UN recognition for a Palestinian state.
Lieberman has espoused policies hostile to Arab citizens of Israel, who constitute 17% of the population. The slogan of his party is "No citizenship without loyalty"; he seeks to oblige Arabs citizens to declare loyalty to the Zionist state as a condition for citizenship, including the right to vote and become members of the Knesset. As the danger of racism depends not only on its callousness but on its power and influence, this coalition at the heart of government suggests a sharp rise in levels of racism and a dramatic decline in democracy.

Central to Lieberman's politics is official recognition for the annexation of Jerusalem and the illegal Jewish settlements, in exchange for the transfer of major Arab population centres in Israel to Palestine. Altogether, Lieberman's aim is to make the citizenship of Palestinian Arabs conditional and temporary. Ultimately, this could result in a pure Jewish state, free of Arab citizens.

When Jörg Haider and his extreme right party entered the Austrian government, several European countries imposed sanctions. Lieberman is far more dangerous than Haider. His stature is proof that extremism has come to dominate in Israel. Should the kind of politics that are rejected in Europe be accommodated in the Holy Land?

The last government and Knesset, whose term has just ended, was the most extremist so far; in the upcoming elections the situation is likely to change for the worse. So what should we do? I believe trying to persuade Netanyahu and his government to adopt more moderate policies is a waste of time and effort. The only way to ensure change is through pressure and sanctions on the Israeli government. Netanyahu's political conduct shows that he bows only when confronted. Whoever wants a just peace and to prevent looming wars, whoever wants to put an end to the crimes committed by occupation, whoever wants to combat racism, must help in imposing sanctions.

Salafis in Syria: "'They will demand that we return to the seventh century'"

FLC

[Guardian] " In early summer, Abu Ismael, a six-year veteran of al-Qaida, left the insurgency still blazing in his homeland of Iraq and travelled to what he believes is the start of the apocalypse....

"It was easy," he said, in the sitting room of a house in the Syrian city of Aleppo. "The money was no problem, neither was the weapon, or the motivation. This will be a fight against the great enemy.".... 

"When the regime falls, all those who fought against the Muslims will be my enemy, especially the Shias," he said, reiterating a view held by some Sunni extremists that Shia are their biggest foes.... 

"We want just what they got in Tunis and Egypt," said Mahmoud Razak, a shop-keeper in the outer suburbs. "Freedom and the chance to progress in life. But we thought it would take 19 days like it took [in Egypt]. It's now 19 months. We didn't know it would be this difficult." 

To those now hosting Abu Ismael, the Iraqi jihadi embodies one of the major problems. Though for the most part conservative and pious, the men of this part of Aleppo refuse to see the crisis now consuming Syria in existential terms. To them, this is still a fight for self-determination, not the forum for an apocalyptic showdown with a preordained foe. 

"What is this global jihad that he talks about?" asked a town elder, Abu Abdullah, after the Iraqi had left to prepare for his wedding. "We will be used as toys by them, just as the Sunni communities were in Iraq. When they have had their way with us they will demand that we return to the seventh century under the blade of a sword."

Bashar al-Assad has insisted from the start that Syria was facing attack by "armed terrorist gangs", not a popular uprising – though there is ample evidence of the army firing on mostly unarmed demonstrators. But it has become clear that extremist Salafi or jihadi groups, some linked to al-Qaida, are now a significant element of the armed opposition. 

Alongside fighters from al-Qaida in Iraq or Fatah al-Islam from Lebanon is the mysterious Jabhat al-Nusra, which has claimed responsibility for suicide bombings in Damascus and Aleppo. It is sympathetic to al-Qaida. Others hail from Jordan, Libya and Algeria.

They also expressed rejection of the foreign interference in Syria's internal affairs, thanking Russia and China for their stances in support to Syria. H. Zain /R. al-Jazaeri

Tens of thousands of Syrians rally in support of Assad ahead of Arab ministers' visit

English.news.cn 2011-10-26 21:14:30

Tens of thousands of Syrian people rally in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the Umayyad Square in Damascus on Oct. 26, 2011. The demonstrators swarmed into Umayyad Square in the center of Damascus to stage a protest hours ahead of the visit to Syria of an Arab League ministerial committee to oversee the Syrian crisis and discuss ways of conducting dialogue between the regime and the opposition on Wednesday. (Xinhua/Bassim)

 DAMASCUS, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) — Tens of thousands of Syrians rallied Wednesday in support for President Bashar al-Assad hours before the arrival of an Arab League (AL) ministerial delegation that aimed at finding ways to end the months-long crisis in the country.

The Umayyad Square in the capital of Damascus and nearby streets were packed with supporters of Assad, who is up against blistering international criticism over his alleged bloody crackdown on protest movement.

The crowds, waving Syrian flags and hoisting posters of Assad, shouted slogans such as “God, Syria and only Bashar,” while others carried banners, some of which read “Yes to the process of reforms launched by President Assad.”

Syrians took to streets to demonstrate solidarity with Assad in the face of the criticize by the United States against our people, Dr. Jamal Abbas, a professor in the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Damascus, told Xinhua.

Muna Masri, a housewife told Xinhua during the event that “we came here out of love for our president and nobody coerced us demonstrating.”

“My son is in the military … The Libyan scenario will not occur here, we feel sorry for what the president is going through, we are with him till death,” Masri said while choking back her tears.
The rally came hours ahead of the arrival of the AL ministerial delegation, combining foreign ministers of Qatar, Egypt, Oman, Algeria, Sudan and the AL chief Nabil Arabi.

The delegation would hold a single meeting on Wednesday afternoon with Assad amid speculations that it would propose an Arab initiative to help put an end to the crisis in Syria through initiating dialogue between the regime and the Syrian opposition.

Gulf countries who were working to suspend Syria’s membership in the AL failed to gain enough supports during an AL meeting held in Cairo on Oct. 16.

They then decided to give Syria a 15-day deadline to enact a cease-fire and to form a ministerial committee to participate in Syria’s national dialogue.

The Syrian National Council, recently formed by Syrian opposition in Istanbul, urged the Syrians nationwide to observe a general strike on Wednesday to express rejection of the regime’s violent assaults on protesters across Syria that, according to the UN, have claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people including military personnel.

Al-Watan newspaper said Wednesday that Syrian authorities seized in the central province of Homs leaflets instigating youths to stage a general strike.
The United States and its European allies have slapped sets of sanctions on senior Syrian officials and entities while calling on Assad to step down.

The latest move by the United States was pulling its ambassador from Syria due to “credible threats against his personal safety in Syria,” according to a statement issued by the U.S. State Department. In response, Syria recalled its ambassador to the U.S. for consultations.

Ooops, I just Committed a Thought Crime!

By Nahida Exiled Palestinian

[Disclaimer: This article is SATIRE]

(This is my thought)

|

|

\/

Oops ... what did I say!

What was I thinking?

Where was my head?

What have I done!

Sorry, I beg your pardon, I profusely apologize 

How dare I entertain such an "evil" and blatant "anti-Semitic" thought?

How dare I ask such a "controversial" question?!

Let me take a deep breath, clear my mind, gather my senses back and start again:

O MY O MY... O Sanhedrin Rabbi

I have a confession to make

I've just committed a Thought Crime

Repentant I come

Loud and clear, I declare :

Mossad are not the Terrorists, no no no, Heavens no, they are not.

Terrorists are not the Mossad, no no no, G-d forbid

To further help my fellow activists not to fall the way I did, I would offer a word of advice:

Dear members of Palestine Solidarity Movement worldwide, in order to be protected from committing any kind of thought crime, and in order to  be accepted in the Movement as good, law abiding, free-thinking, mind-uncontrolled members, please take note of the following:

Remember:  when you are presented with  "evidence" that Mossad used controlled explosion in a false-flag terrorist attack  in London no less, bombing their OWN embassy, and framing two innocent Palestinians to rot for twenty years in prison... remember to refute such "hateful accusation" and point your finger towards the person who sent you the information and shout out loud, "anti-Semite".

Remember: when you come to learn that Mossad has been involved in countless numbers of false-flag operations, and when you hear some people whispering: "we need independent investigation to reexamine the evidence of possible Mossad involvement in 7/7 and 9/11"...  remember to silence such "hateful" "anti-Semitic" accusations by using the mantra you have been successfully trained to repeat and shout out loud  "Conspiracy Theorist",

Remember that Foxman's ADL has been struggling  to fight and curtail the rampant anti-Semitism which -for no particular reason- has been sweeping the globe since thousands of years. Your helping hands will go a long way to improve the good work of his agency.

Remember that Islamized Hollywood and Arabized Main Stream Media with its relentless antisemitic programs, articles and movies, is promoting Mooooslims and Islam, and inciting hatred against Jews. This malevolent form of racism is growing completely out of hand, every effort on your part to stop such racism will no doubt accelerate the end of suffering of Palestinians, bring them freedom and make their dreams a reality. Sure.

Remember that Muslims do control alllll of our education system. They prevent students from learning the Holocaust and the history of Jewish suffering, and prevent the world from knowing about the endlessssssss bombing of “innocent Israeli and non-Israeli Jews” by millions of rockets, and the astronomic amount of anti-Jewish hate crimes popping out in every little corner of the world. In such difficult times the ADL would sure appreciate your moral support and more so your cash $$$$$, and foremost you must remember to hunt down the hidden mouth-frothing anti-semites, and expel them from the Palestine Solidarity Movement.

Remember: when you show clips such as this, make sure that you explain to the audience that such acts of cruelty by "Israeli" soldiers are very limited and almost insignificant, try to make the viewers understand that most Israeli-Jews are graceful, peace-loving, highly ethical, extremely modest, kind and hospitable people.

When you organize any activity, make absolutely sure that people distinguish between:
Zionism (a racist nationalistic movement which claims to be Jewish-nationalism but in fact has absolutely nothing to do with Jews or Judaism), and Judaism (which is a race/religion/ culture/ history/ suffering/ morality of the light unto the nation). Palestine is not the "promised land", and "next year in Jerusalem" chanted at Seder refers to a heavenly Jerusalem in Venus.

Make sure that people differentiate between the un-racist "Israeli" society, and its racist government.

Spare no effort to convince people that by claiming to support Palestine and Palestinians, they only mean by that opposition to Zionism, and absolutely not opposition to Zionists or G-d forbid, opposition to "Israelis". No, no, we don't want that, because “our” battle will be over as soon as Israel makes the bombastic declaration that it abandons Zionism. The claim that Zionism now is meaningless and irrelevant is itself irrelevant.

Make sure that Palestinians stop dreaming of Liberation, remove that word from their vocabulary. Explain to them that their aims are one and the same with the aims of "Israelis". Help them to see that their aspiration of liberation is unrealistic and would cause grave injustice to "Israelis", so they omit to support their real aims, and that instead they support your solutions, your aims, your future vision for the region. Convince them to just fight for "Israel" to abandon Zionism, nothing more. Help them to see the humanity of "Israeli" Jews who ethnically cleansed them. Help the understand that "Israeli" Jews are there to stay, so they better lump it or leave it. To this effect they shall only participate in boycott of such things as settlement-grown herbs, and only picket international companies which invest in "Israeli" settlements.
You must make it clear to Palestinians that you are fundamentally opposed to the so called legitimate resistance, and that you only approve of non-violent action.

Remember: when you are told that "Israel" Lobbyist Zionist Patrick Clawson of the influential neo-con Washington Institute for Near East Studies OPENLY  suggests False Flag attack to start war with Iran , Remember that such claims are incitement of racial hatred and profoundly "anti-Semitic". Yep.

Remember: when you are told that "Israel" attacked USA  and did so more than once   and even killed Americans on duty, and when you are told that it  attempted to blow up the Mexican Congress and when you hear that Jews killed Jews to  force them to leave Arab Islamic lands to immigrate to "Israel", when you hear such insane accusations you should immediately wave the RED flag and shout "anti-Semite".

 Remember, when people hint that they desire to learn, discuss and explore racism against gentiles  in the Talmud, or when they use racist terms such as Jewish-supremacism there is one and only one action that you can do, scream from the top of your head: anti-Semite, for how dare they read the Talmud to begin with?!






As for my thought crime, and to make sure that I don't fall again, and to prevent me from committing such crimes ever again in the future, I will lock my "illegal thoughts" down, I will encircle them inside strictly defined boundaries and promise to shoot any thought caught attempting to escape..

  Thus, I hereby affirm that any mention of words such as Jewish, Talmud, Judaic, Jews, Holocaust, Jewish Suffering, Jewish values, Jewish soul  are Holy Words which emanate  from good Kelipat Nogah  and can only be uttered in utmost adoration and supreme devotion.

I hereby affirm that such Holy Words can only be associated with goodness, righteousness, positive attributes, and heroic admirable adjectives. The said words must never be uttered except in describing the wonderful, the moral and the supreme. Thus, it should only be used when imbedded with rosy images, painted in rainbow colours, adorned with cuddly teddy bears, sprinkled with stars, pink lilies, lilac lavender and rosy flowers.

 Furthermore, I hereby affirm that it is forbidden to mention certain words in association with others such as:

The words: "Israel" and Mossad, in association  with False-Flag, 9/11, 7/7

The words: Jewish, Jewish ideology, Talmud, in association with  racism or supremacy,

The words: Jewish-networks, Jewish organizations, Jewish foundations, in association with the words like power, influence, control, manipulation. 

It is just freakin' forbidden. Period

 Remember, the most important thing you should do as an activist and a supporter for Palestine is, be vigilant in ferreting out  and ferociously fighting "anti-Semitism" wherever you find it, whatever it maybe.

Above all, remember that your prime role as a "friend of Palestine" is t be a ferocious zealous "anti-anti-semite".

Bingo.
