SILENCE IN THE TIME OF CORONA

The Israel lobby repeatedly succeeds in silencing Israeli critics and, above all, in bringing politicians and the media into line. They need the enemy image to distract them from Israel’s human rights crimes. Islam = terror, the fight against BDS supporters = anti-Semites, what could be better than a diversion?

Jewish demands for resignation or “corpses pave his way!”

By Evelyn Hecht-Galinski

 

If the Central Council of Jews and its President and the Federal Government’s Anti-Semitism Commissioner go on an “anti-Semite hunt”, then you should dress warmly. Anyone who is on their “hit list” is no longer sure of their job, opening speeches, appearances or other activities. In the meantime, the terms “anti-Semitism” and “anti-Semite” have become a weapon of war in the Israel lobby, and thus prove to anyone who dares to criticize Israel or to support the Israel-critical BDS movement or its goals, the ending of the Decades of Israeli occupation that violated international law to find honor. Mind you, it’s not about “hatred of Jews”, the usual definition, but only about human rights activists.

Unconditional support of the “Jewish state” paid by the German taxpayer

This unconditional support from the Central Council of Jews, a public law corporation paid by the German taxpayer, is unacceptable. After all, it is about supporting a state that permanently violates international law and is demonstrably against a two-state solution – although the German government, which silently and faithfully supports the inhumane Israeli occupation policy towards the Palestinians, represents it with lip service. That is an attitude , which ranges from the Chancellor to the Federal President and Foreign Minister as well as party politicians from ALL parties. I can only repeat that the Holocaust does not justify all means, but rather is a reason to increasingly turn against the “Jewish state” and its apartheid annexation policy that violates international law.

Racist crimes against Muslims are lost in the shouting against anti-Semitism

We should also be concerned about the increase in racist right-wing crimes against Muslims who are drowned out by the cries of “anti-Semitism”. “Jews” and their “Christian Zionist Sayanim” masterfully know how to stage themselves and to distract themselves from racism in the “Jewish state”. The Central Council and its President have developed into a power that interferes in all areas of public life and makes demands. It had long been time to rethink and bring the Jewish community into critical contact with the “Jewish occupying state”. Wishful thinking that, thanks to official politics, will never come true. “Israel’s security as a German rationale” also means that the Germans tolerate the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. “Don’t be silent, when wrong happens ”. Those who do not remain silent about Israeli injustice are certain to have the title “anti-Semite”!

By blackmailing the “Israel lobby”, critics are silenced

With this blackmail, the Israel lobby repeatedly succeeds in silencing Israeli critics and, above all, in bringing politicians and the media into line. They need the enemy image to distract them from Israel’s human rights crimes. Islam = terror, the fight against BDS supporters = anti-Semites, what could be better than a diversion?

President Schuster does not speak for “the Jews”, but only for “lobby Jews”

“Jews” are calling for the dismissal of Ruhrtriennale boss Stefanie Carp, as the title of a WDR announcement from April 25, 2020 The President of the Central Council of Jews and “unofficial Vice Ambassador” of the “Jewish State” in Germany had previously published in various media with the demand that Stefanie Carp be deposed. Oh, I thought, “Demand Jews”? Which Jews? Certainly not the anti-Zionist Jews or the many Jewish voices for a just peace! President Schuster does not speak for “the” Jews, but only for the “lobby Jews” like himself. In addition to the countless, superfluous “anti-Semitism officers” who only lobby for Israel’s murderous politics, one could soon call Mr. Schuster as the highest cultural censorship inquisitor in Germany.

What was the reason for the director’s call for dismissal? She had once again dared to invite a guest as opening speaker at the Ruhrtriennale, whose writings are also critical of the “Jewish apartheid state”. According to Mr. Schuster, freedom of expression obviously does not apply when it comes to Israel. This must be prevented by all means, including by the murder of an integrally known scientist like Achille Mbembe. And this is not even embarrassing to Mr. Schuster that he makes himself absolutely ridiculous in front of the world with his accusations.

Looking for critics of Israeli politics to denounce them as anti-Semites

It was therefore time to demand Schuster’s resignation from the Office of the Central Council of Jews, who had done nothing except act as a mouthpiece and second representative of the “Jewish state” and was always on the lookout for critics of Israeli politics, to denounce them as anti-Semites. The good old German saying “who searches, who finds” fits this Central Council and its President exactly. He is like a sniffer dog and is always trying to sniff out new anti-Semites to distract from the daily Zionist crimes of the Netanyahu regime. Regardless of whether Muslims, intellectuals such as the historian and political scientist Achille Mbembe or previously the highly respected Judaist and director of the Jewish Museum Berlin, Peter Schäfer, who in June 2019 after a bad smear campaign, initiated by the Israeli government and its extended arm in Germany, the Central Council, resigned. Schäfer, one of the most capable museum directors in Europe, took the consequences to “avert further damage from the Jewish Museum”. Then I rubbed my eyes! Further damage? Certainly not by Peter Schäfer, who had repeatedly been targeted by the Central Council and many Sayanim because he tried to run a cosmopolitan museum that did not avoid controversial topics. When Schäfer then marked a tweet as “worth reading”, in which 240 Israeli and Jewish women scholars critically criticized the decision of the Bundestag, which declared the BDS movement (boycott, divestments, sanctions) to be anti-Semitic, the measure was full . the Central Council, resigned. Schäfer, one of the most capable museum directors in Europe, took the consequences to “avert further damage from the Jewish Museum”. Then I rubbed my eyes! Further damage? Certainly not by Peter Schäfer, who had repeatedly been targeted by the Central Council and many Sayanim because he tried to run a cosmopolitan museum that did not avoid controversial topics. When Schäfer then marked a tweet as “worth reading”, in which 240 Israeli and Jewish women scholars critically criticized the decision of the Bundestag, which declared the BDS movement (boycott, divestments, sanctions) to be anti-Semitic, the measure was full . the Central Council, resigned. Schäfer, one of the most capable museum directors in Europe, took the consequences to “avert further damage from the Jewish Museum”. Then I rubbed my eyes! Further damage? Certainly not by Peter Schäfer, who had repeatedly been targeted by the Central Council and many Sayanim because he tried to run a cosmopolitan museum that did not avoid controversial topics. When Schäfer then marked a tweet as “worth reading”, in which 240 Israeli and Jewish women scholars critically criticized the decision of the Bundestag, which declared the BDS movement (boycott, divestments, sanctions) to be anti-Semitic, the measure was full . Then I rubbed my eyes! Further damage? Certainly not by Peter Schäfer, who had repeatedly been targeted by the Central Council and many Sayanim because he tried to run a cosmopolitan museum that did not avoid controversial topics. When Schäfer then marked a tweet as “worth reading”, in which 240 Israeli and Jewish women scholars critically criticized the decision of the Bundestag, which declared the BDS movement (boycott, divestments, sanctions) to be anti-Semitic, the measure was full . Then I rubbed my eyes! Further damage? Certainly not by Peter Schäfer, who had repeatedly been targeted by the Central Council and many Sayanim because he tried to run a cosmopolitan museum that did not avoid controversial topics. When Schäfer then marked a tweet as “worth reading”, in which 240 Israeli and Jewish women scholars critically criticized the decision of the Bundestag, which declared the BDS movement (boycott, divestments, sanctions) to be anti-Semitic, the measure was full .

To stand up to this central council

Now I think that the measure is overflowing, because the trace of hatred and the constant attempts to restrict freedom of expression should be enough to stand up to this Central Council. Just because he is not ready to allow open and critical discussion and criticism of the “Jewish state” and its proven crimes against the people and the occupation, for lack of factual arguments, he tries with all means to bring politicians, media and officials under his influence and control .

The Jewish Museum is also run by the federal government and is a foundation under public law, more precisely “Foundation Jewish Museum Berlin” and was opened in 2001. Peter Schäfer directed the museum after W. Michael Blumenthal. Long-time program director and deputy director, Cilly Kugelmann, also left in 2017 and later described the campaign against Peter Schäfer as bullying.

Mbembe and Carp are the last “victims” of the Central Council of Jews

The current cases of Achille Mbembe and Stefanie Carp as the last “victims” of the Central Council of Jews thanks to Anti-Semitism Commissioner Klein and Central Council President Schuster are prime examples of this intrigue. After unjustified criticism, which was carried out publicly thanks to the best contacts in the media in all German features, the Corona virus came as ordered. First the Ruhrtriennale was canceled for this year and then the boss was sawed off and her contract was not extended by Prime Minister Laschet as requested by “Israeli friend”. So “two birds with one stone” were done again. Who will it hit next time and for what reasons? At the end of this comment, I have a listing of the Israel lobby interventions led by the Central Council, that readers should definitely remember. First and foremost, the brochure “Freedom of expression threatened” by Annette Groth and Günter Rath, which you should definitely order. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)

Israeli critics must fear the Central Council

While the AfD continues to prove itself to be a “friend of the Jews” on the side of Israel and its racism and Islamophobia can continue in peace and quiet, Israeli critics must fear the Central Council, which always succeeds, anti-Zionism and criticism of Israel to reinterpret anti-Semitism, although, as Moshe Zuckermann very rightly stated, “they are three pairs of shoes”. The Central Council apparently only has a few shoes that have since been worn out and are worn daily.

In times of corona, German armaments expenditure rose by 10 percent

Even in these times of Corona, in which medical goods are in short supply, the Stockholm peace research institute Sipri published the latest figures on April 27, 2020. After that, German military spending rose 10 percent, and Secretary of War Kramp-Karrenbauer is even planning to buy new F-18 US bombers that can also be fitted with nuclear weapons. The pressure from the USA and NATO is having an effect. Germany is now in seventh place worldwide and is currently spending $ 49.3 billion on “defense”. We overtook Great Britain and Japan, and all because “Russophobe” politicians once again see the “Russians at the door” that German Michel is painting on the wall or because the security of the Jewish occupying state has to be German rationale. With all the consequences? It is worth thinking about and peacefully protesting against it!

Together, the new “emergency regime” plans to annex Palestinian land

The new Netanyahu / Gantz regime is using the Corona period, past the Palestinians and the international community, to form a committee for their land robbery to drive the planned annexation of Palestinian land, which is Likud’s new “emergency regime”, Blau -White and Labor Party (!) Are planning together for next July.

This regime does not want peace, but only a Jewish apartheid state ”

Anyone who has hoped for any spark of a will for peace from this regime should now be finally disabused. This regime does not want peace, but only a Jewish apartheid state! A country without its native population. This government announces its plans without any scruples, which have nothing to do with international law or human rights. The Corona virus is not an emergency in the “Jewish state”, but it is this “emergency government” that creates an emergency for the Palestinian people. As you can hear, a new judaised card is already being worked on. Netanyahu and Gantz are using the pandemic to implement their annexation plans, knowing that, thanks to Corona, the Palestinians will be even more powerless in these real times of emergency. The Central Council of Jews should report to this and distance itself from these crimes, then it would serve the “Jews” and prove itself to be a corporation under public law. But so – as governor of the respective Zionist regimes – he should be put in his place with all his might, and his resignation should be demanded – as long as “corpses pave his way”.

ISRAEL’S NEW GOVERNMENT …… APARTHEID OR APARTHEID

Benny Gantz and Benjamin Netanyahu will agree on the goals of Judaization, illegal occupation, annexation and aggressive war politics, thereby keeping their “chosen” racist people happy.

The King of the Occupiers and his General 

Evelyn Hecht-Galinski

 

Just in time for the national day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust, two “special” Zionist power politicians misused both the memory of the Holocaust victims and the Covid 19 virus for their own dishonest purposes. While the six million Jews are supposed to stand still for two minutes and the last Holocaust survivors remember the dark days past thanks to strict corona curfews, millions of Palestinians are locked up in their Gaza concentration camp just a few kilometers away. The virus and fear are also spreading to the Palestinians in the illegally occupied West Bank and in the occupied East Jerusalem, where the only hospital in Jerusalem for the Palestinian population was destroyed by Jewish occupation forces.

Palestinian citizens need empathy

It would have been so important and at the right time that the Jewish population had finally become aware of this suffering and, given this Covid 19 pandemic, they had turned empathetically to the Palestinian citizens and given their own occupation crimes a minute’s silence, as well as face to face von Corona would have seen the connecting thing instead of just complaining about its own inconvenience.

Even the “Auschwitz Minister” did not miss the opportunity to participate in an Israeli online campaign

Even the “Auschwitz Minister” Maas did not miss the opportunity to take part in this online campaign and read out the names of two Holocaust victims from his hometown Saarlouis. How important it would have been for this “committed” German Foreign Minister to remember the many Palestinian victims who have no lobby and no support. April 17 is the day of the prisoners, on which all Palestinians worldwide commemorate the Palestinian prisoners in Zionist occupation custody.

All Palestinians are in a kind of captivity

As author and activist Ramzy Baroud said: While people around the world are celebrating Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, it’s not just the Palestinian prisoners who are currently in Israeli prisons, but all Palestinians are in a kind of captivity. Take Palestinians who were born in the Gaza Strip and have never left Gaza, or Palestinians who live in the so-called “C area” in the occupied West Bank who cannot leave without a Israeli permit and cannot pass a military checkpoint. Likewise, those who live behind the apartheid wall are prisoners. Baroud has just launched his new book “These Chains Will Be Broken”, which portrays Palestinian stories of struggle and resistance in Israeli prisons.

More and more judaism with international help

It is important to also remember the approximately 5,700 Palestinian prisoners, including 200 children, 44 women, 5 members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, 27 journalists and 470 administrative prisoners. Of the 700 prisoners who are in poor health, 200 urgently need medical treatment. Detained children are deprived of their most basic rights and face unfair trials and inhumane treatment that violate their fundamental rights. Every day in occupied Jerusalem, dozens of Palestinian children are arrested or detained in their homes and face deportation from their hometown and heavy fines. All of this happens in the “only” democracy in the Middle East,

No politician and no German medium who are constantly committed to the “Jewish occupation state” was and is not worth this row or a measure this terrible state.

When will Zionist torturers stand before German courts?

A good starting point would be the just started trial in Koblenz on state torture in Syria. Two Syrian ex-intelligence officials are on trial there, Anwar R. and Eyad A. are accused of crimes against humanity; they are said to be responsible for torturing numerous people in the Secret Service detention center. These two defendants left Syria in 2014 and 2018 and came to Germany, and they were arrested here in 2019. If an example is to be made of these two accused by genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, wherever the acts were committed, according to the principle of world law – in Germany it is regulated by the International Criminal Code of 2002 – then I ask myself ,

How much further damage can the anti-Semitism officer Klein do?

If Turkey were at stake, a storm of indignation in Germany would have broken out long ago. German media and politicians, especially the Greens and the Left, are demanding sanctions and punitive measures against Turkey and favorite enemy Erdogan. Netanyahu and the “Jewish state” are kept silent and he is spared sanctions. For this, BDS supporters are wrongly disparaged as anti-Semites. Now the Kenyan historian, intellectual, Ernst Bloch, Gera Henkel and Geschwister Scholl award winner Achille Mbembe, who teaches at the South African University of Witwatersrand and was a visiting professor in Cologne last year, was accused by the anti-Semitism commissioner of the Federal Government Felix Klein that he was relativizing the “Holocaust” and questioning Israel’s right to exist, as well as having it without proof, called “activists” of the BDS movement and now wants to prevent Mbembe from giving a lecture at the Ruhrtriennale in August. He is of the embarrassing opinion that this outstanding, internationally recognized scientist would cause “considerable damage” to the Ruhrtriennale.

How much damage can this anti-Semitism officer actually do in Germany? Doesn’t Klein relativize apartheid and occupation crimes with his full support of the “Jewish state”? This man is as unnecessary as his office and should be removed with immediate effect, along with his counterparts who support the Israeli occupation crimes. Incidents of this kind show how urgently we need a racism officer instead of the anti-Semitism officer, whose only job is to ward off criticism of Israel.

Reelected with “Gantz” great help

After the agreement with Gantz, Netanyahu sulkily announced that the government wanted to “save lives” and care for the citizens. After all, thousands of citizens of the “Jewish state” protested against Netanyahu and his anti-democratic measures such as total sealing off and surveillance. These Israeli citizens were ahead of us, as they were allowed to demonstrate, mostly with masks and demonstrating at a safe distance. German citizens, prevented by government decisions and the police, only succeeded after express court rulings. However, there were only small demonstrations with few people and sometimes more than obscure participants and goals.

This grand coalition is a great victory for the corruption-charged Netanyahu against his rival Gantz. One of the biggest disputes was the Likud party’s request for a veto over judicial appointments, for the clear reason that Netanyahu wanted to use his party to do so in the event of a Supreme Court decision refusing him on the expected corruption charges will continue to govern as prime minister or vice. This has now been circumvented by the fact that if Netanyahu came under pressure because of the charges, Gantz would not automatically become prime minister, but that new elections would take place, and Netanyahu had already threatened this. Clever as “Bibi”, he had secured his power and office parallel to the upcoming legal proceedings. This victory across the board enables him to secure the selection of judiciary and lawyers, following the example of friend Trump. There is a glimmer of hope in the Israeli civil rights petition’s petition to the Supreme Court on Tuesday to curtail this power. They want to prevent Netanyahu from becoming prime minister despite charges of corruption.

Netanyahu and Gantz belong to the International Court of Justice

Benny Gantz, on the other hand, the “opposition leader”, has had his blue-and-white alliance broken freezing cold, a failed challenger who means to get a piece of power. He, who betrayed his central campaign promise never to rule with Netanyahu at the helm, has, as Merez MP Tamar Sandberg tweeted so well, made himself “the doormat of a corruption accused, agitator and racist”. He takes up a pitiful remainder of 17 out of a total of 120 mandates, while Netanyahu and his Likud became the strongest faction with 36 seats. If there were to be elections now, polls for blue and white would result in a pitiful 19 seats and Netanyahu’s Likud would be 40 seats. With Gantz’s decision to turn against Palestinian / Arab voters and prefer to ally themselves with the “devil,”

The farce of a “national emergency government”

The corona crisis enabled both politicians not only to govern with the farce of a “national emergency government”, but also to continue to monitor the locations of all Israelis together with the secret service, thereby establishing even greater power and the total surveillance state. At the same time, according to the coalition agreement, the annexation of the occupied West Bank should begin in July, in line with the US peace plan by Trump and son-in-law Kushner. The majority is rejected by the international community as pure lip service and the annexation is sharply criticized by the EU and Palestinians, which consequently will not prevent the Zionist occupying regime from starting with it. As always and so often before, you can be sure.

Apartheid State of the “Jewish People”

The fatal thing is that the weakness and inaction of the international community of this occupier and apartheid regime, which is deeply linked to nepotism and corruption, can sink further and further into ever new Zionist atrocities that violate international law and are inhumane. Racism is governed by politics, and the majority of Jewish Israelis refuse even the smallest concessions to Arab parties or Palestinians as a betrayal of the “Jewish identity of the state”. It was also a significant milestone when, after the adoption of the nation state law in July 2018, the “Jewish state” finally declared itself as an apartheid state for the rights of the “Jewish people”.

Benny Gantz and Benjamin Netanyahu, for example, will agree on the goals of Judaization, illegal occupation, annexation and aggressive war politics, thereby keeping their “chosen” racist people happy.

The “Corona Coup” has long since ushered in the dismantling of democracy

This “corona coup” has long since ushered in the dismantling of democracy, in which King Netanyahu and his General Gantz will now take part. Gantz, the upcoming “war minister”, is already pawing his arms as a military to plan Gaza attacks, after joint annexation of the occupied Palestinian country and further attempts to bomb Syria, as was done on Monday, but successfully repelled by Syria. Worse if the Corona virus were used to attack Iran. The virus is believed to offer the best opportunities for populists from Trump to Netanyahu to distract themselves from their difficulties with an army of unemployed and a collapsing economy, to successfully conduct and win election campaigns. German “imitators” should beware.

THE OCCUPATION CONTINUES DESPITE THE VIRUS

Every day dozens of children are arrested in Jerusalem. In addition to imprisonment, they are locked in their homes and face deportation from their home town and heavy fines.

Corona conceals racist Zionist occupation policies and their consequences

By Evelyn Hecht-Galinski

On the evening of April 7th, when Jews in the “Jewish state” and around the world sit down at the festively laid Seder table to celebrate the beginning of the Pesach celebration, the house will be freed of leftovers of bread as prescribed, while the Palestinians will have to continue to endure in the “slavery” of the Jewish occupation. The meaning of this feast strikingly reflects exactly the sad and desperate state in which the Palestinian people have been living for decades, forgotten by the so-called “Western community of values” and hoping for their liberation from this bondage.

“Right to a Greater Israel”

While the Jews recall the biblical myth of the “Exodus from Egypt”, Jewish politicians like Netanyahu constantly repeat the myth that Jews have lived in Israel for 4000 years in order to establish their “right” to a “Greater Israel” for the, also a myth, “Jewish people”. The Zionist regime, thanks to the US government under Trump, came closer and closer to this goal of eternal Judaization. Prime Minister Netanyahu and Gantz also agreed to agree to the proposal to annex the West Bank, as the agreement for the unity government is due to be signed after the end of the Passover celebrations next Thursday.

The international community allowed this injustice to happen and forgot about the Palestinians and left them to their fate. In times of the Covid-19 virus, which makes neither national borders nor ethnic differences, the occupied and locked up in Palestine and especially in the closed Gaza Strip live in unimaginable conditions.

What do we want to defend?

In these times the misery of refugees and wars continues almost undisturbed. While here the economy and shops, the catering trade, hotels, the travel industry, artists, freelancers and many others fear for their bare existence and worry about the future, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg of all people appeals to the NATO member states to spend more on defence! What should we defend? The “Christian” values? Is the Russian or the Chinese at the door? Who is threatening us, really, except at the moment the virus? Led by the war-mongering USA, which is constantly trying to enforce its dubious “values” with all warlike means, it is rather the West that is a threat to the world. Isn’t it the economic greed of capitalism that led to these conditions and has intensified since 9/11? With the fight against the enemy image Islam=terror, an avalanche of hate was set in motion. NATO has been threatening Russia since its “NATO eastward creep” and caused a deterioration in relations with our neighbour, which is still having a negative effect today. It is known from numerous surveys that the Germans do not want this, ignored in a criminal manner by the Federal Government, which submissively follows the war-mongering Americans. Stoltenberg negates the threatening recession of the world economy and wants to oblige the NATO member states to invest even more in “our security” in order to guarantee it. There is only a security if Nato gives up its dirty war course. It is a deceptive and euphemistic security when Stoltenberg praises the fact that many armed forces of NATO states support civil society in the fight against the corona virus. The German Armed Forces, which set off on ever new foreign missions, are in a desolate state, much like the procurement of protective masks and clothing. We do not need a NATO that legitimizes itself only by bellicosity and the purchase of weapons, but capable governments that do not rely on the production of vital things in low-wage countries, but finally a German/European production that ultimately benefits us all.

Do Jews want to show solidarity with a Zionist “extermination policy”?

It can be assumed that many things will change for us in times after Corona. This hope does not remain for the Palestinians, because their situation continues to deteriorate in these times. The Israel lobby is gaining more and more power. Let us just look at Great Britain, where this lobby has managed to overthrow the decent, irreproachable Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and to defame him as anti-Semite, because he stood up for justice also for Palestinians. The new chairman Keir Starmer, with a Jewish wife whose extended family lives in the “Jewish state”, immediately made himself popular with the Zionists and in his inaugural speech immediately apologized to the Jews for the alleged anti-Semitism at Labour and vowed to “eradicate this poison”. With such a chairman one can assume that, that Labour and its Jews are again showing solidarity with the Zionist occupation and “extermination” policy, which was rightly criticised by Corbyn and led to the infamous slander against him.

Failure of the Western “community of values

All this is drowning in political and important news and this only increases the danger of the virus. While the Greek refugee camp Moria, on Lesbos, where 20,000 refugees are in catastrophic conditions, is reported, hardly a line is written about the sad fate of the refugees in Lebanese camps, displaced persons from Palestine and now additionally from Syria. There are hundreds of thousands of Palestinian and Syrian refugees living in the overcrowded refugee camps in Lebanon who are confronted with the spread of the corona virus. While we are dealing here with a failure of the Western ‘community of values’ which allowed this misery and did nothing to solve the problem, in the Greek camps we are dealing first and foremost with a failure of the Greeks, the EU Member State and NATO partner, who would rather put billions into arms than put the billions in aid into refugee camps and consolidate the budget. The Greeks do not care about international law and human rights, much like their Israeli friends. Quite different is Turkey, which managed to take in more than 4 million refugees and kept to a refugee deal with the EU, although it was not thanked.

None, emergency and enabling laws in the long run!

What we are currently experiencing, in terms of travel restrictions, border closures, controls, leaving out and deep cuts in our daily lives, is only a sad joke against what the Palestinians have been suffering for years. It is, in relative terms, a minimal, albeit serious, restriction of our freedoms, which will and must be lifted in the foreseeable future.  How far should restrictions on fundamental rights actually go? How great the resentment in parts of the population will be if this state of “emergency laws”, which “empower” the state to intervene in our normal lives with business closures and regulations, continues in the long term, is neither foreseeable nor sustainable.

Fatal state failure?

The corona virus must not, of course, be taken lightly, nor is it comparable to the flu virus in any way. It is a serious lung disease that can hit people with pre-existing conditions and the elderly, and smokers in particular, very hard. At this point it becomes clear how important it is that governments, like the German one, failed to provide adequate protective masks and did not order that all citizens should wear them. The refusal of this duty, which was supported by many “experts”, was intended to cover up this failure. It borders on a “fatal state failure”. While Germany has a functioning health system, which is the envy of many other countries, enormous mistakes were made here too, through unnecessary privatisation, lobbying and capitalist greed, and these mistakes are now taking bitter revenge.

Talk shows with political “ichlings”

While the British have Queen Elizabeth II, who had to announce confidence and deep cuts, we have “Queen Angela I”, who appears here in front of a few selected journalists and does not announce much of substance. We will probably have to wait until after Easter to see how things continue. In the meantime, we are becoming public hotspots, talk shows with “political ichlings”, an army of virologists, doctors and scientists, which make us even more insecure.  Not to forget the many “conspiracy apologists” with the most adventurous theories and theses. With propaganda, number games and disinformation we are not helped. Knowledge is power in the fight against the Covid-19 virus.

But all this just by the way to point out the differences between us and the really imprisoned. The Coronavirus does not stop at any country or continent and does not differentiate by skin colour, ethnicity or religion. It also affects politicians, such as British Prime Minister Johnson, who was transferred to intensive care in a London hospital on Monday evening.

The corona virus has once again dramatically worsened the situation of the occupied Palestinians. Who thinks here of the approximately 299 Palestinian children imprisoned, who receive only minimal and poor care. From January 2019 until the end of last month, Israel arrested 789 boys and girls aged 12 to 18 years. The imprisoned children are deprived of their most basic rights and are subjected to unfair trials and inhuman treatment that violate their fundamental rights. Convention on the Rights of the Child? Does not apply to Israel!

Every day dozens of children are arrested in Jerusalem. In addition to imprisonment, they are locked in their homes and face deportation from their home town and heavy fines.

Israel is holding some 5,700 prisoners, including 200 children, 44 women, five members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, 27 journalists and 470 administrative detainees, who are neither charged nor brought to trial. Of the 700 prisoners who are in poor health, 200 need urgent treatment.

During the time of Merkel’s reign the Jewish settlements flourished

In the times of the Merkel regency the Jewish settlements flourished.  Israeli settlements are ‘epicentres’ of the coronavirus outbreak. Gaza does not seem to be an issue at all for this federal government, how else would it be possible that 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza concentration camp are defencelessly at the mercy of the viruses and the desolate conditions?

The Palestine Liberation Organization has warned that Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem have become epicenters of the coronavirus pandemic that threatens nearby Palestinian towns and villages.

The PLO’s national office added in its weekly report that the Palestinian Authority has called on Palestinian workers working in the settlements to stay at home because of the risk. The virus has apparently appeared in the Palestinian residential areas where the people working in the settlements live. There are reports of settlers spitting on Palestinian cars to spread the Covid-19 virus among Palestinians in the West Bank.

According to PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh, the settlements are both a danger and a challenge to the Palestinians in their struggle to contain the spread of the virus.
In its report, the PLO noted that the settlers have escalated their aggression against the Palestinians by taking advantage of the corona virus blockade to damage hundreds of trees in the Occupied Territories. The Israeli security forces are doing nothing to stop them or enforce the blockade.

The Palestinian Authority declared a state of emergency in the Palestinian territories last month to combat the outbreak of Covid-19. However, since then the Israeli authorities have demolished 40 buildings belonging to Palestinians or whose owners have been forced to demolish them. Another 260 buildings have been damaged.

Zionist occupying authorities make Palestinians pay for the demolition of their houses

When Palestinians are served demolition orders, the Israeli occupation authorities make the owners pay for the destruction of their own houses if they are not willing to demolish the buildings themselves. The Jewish settlements turn Palestinian houses into cages surrounded by high apartheid walls.

Shameless

Anyone who can still celebrate Passover in good conscience in times of occupation, apartheid and racism cannot be helped. If in this country the warning is only against anti-Semitism in these Corona times, and not against the threat of racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia, then that is shameless!

When Pesach, Easter and Ramadan coincide, we will have the same concerns and must not forget the misery of the Palestinians in particular under merciless Israeli occupation. In this sense: a thoughtful Passover, next year in a free Jerusalem!  Happy Easter and a good Ramadan in times of Corona. Let us not forget what is important!

ZIONIST IMMORALITY IN TIME OF THE CORONA CRISIS

Through the global spread of the corona virus worldwide, the “Jewish state” has managed to brutally exploit the necessary restrictions on movement for illegal occupation measures. As an occupation state, the Zionist regime controls all movements of the occupied people and checkpoints. Under this pretext to limit the “spread” of the corona virus, the occupied West Bank and the Gaza concentration camp were totally sealed off.

A moral offer! 

By Evelyn Hecht-Galinski

 

After 50 former European top politicians have finally raised criticism and signed an appeal against Trump’s “Middle East Peace Plan”, it is noticeable that all these politicians no longer act as active politicians. After all, after strong criticism, they decided to take an open stance against this “peace plan” across Europe. When will active colleagues follow them to finally acknowledge the facts and take action against the “Jewish state” and enforce the sanctions which, if it were not for the “Jewish friends”, would have been taken long ago!

“Anti-Israel agitators”

Criticism from the “Jewish state” promptly followed in the person of “master lobbyist” Manfred Gerstenfeld from the BESA Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv. He defamed these 50 former top politicians and signatories as “anti-Israel agitators” and some of them as anti-Semites. It is precisely these infamous titles that have been used for decades by Jewish-Zionist chief strategists, and his unbearable explanations also contained a demand that exceeded the acceptable level. Gerstenfeld has virtually considered a “virtual pillory for immoral elite people” on which the names of these 50 former European top politicians are to be listed.

“The Dreifuss Affair”

Did Gerstenfeld think specifically of the former Swiss President and Jewess Ruth Dreifuss in this context? Does it make Jews particularly “immoral” when they criticize the “Jewish state” and its handling of international law and the Palestinians? Is it not exactly the other way around, and haven’t these 50 former top politicians made a “moral offer” by pointing out that this “peace plan” contradicts the internationally agreed parameters for a peace process in the Middle East? Doesn’t this example show how important it is to finally support the BDS movement and to issue sanctions against the “Jewish state”? (2)

Through the global spread of the corona virus worldwide, the “Jewish state” has managed to brutally exploit the necessary restrictions on movement for illegal occupation measures. As an occupation state, the Zionist regime controls all movements of the occupied people and checkpoints. Under this pretext to limit the “spread” of the corona virus, the occupied West Bank and the Gaza concentration camp were totally sealed off.

In this way, the virus enables the occupiers to finally annex the entire Palestinian country, at the request of the Netanyahu regime and the “Trump peace plan”. Jewish settlers can now attack undisturbed Palestinians because, although only a few hundred meters away from the incarcerated Palestinians, they live in their illegal settlements without any particular restrictions.

Under these circumstances, can one limit a pandemic that, if it spreads even faster and more rapidly in occupied Palestine, will lead to a catastrophe? What options do the Palestinians have to defy the virus? What about the almost non-existent healthcare system that made it impossible for cancer patients or chronically ill people to receive adequate treatment? As the Israeli human rights organization Betselem reported, officials of the Israeli civil administration and Jewish occupation soldiers destroyed a community clinic and emergency accommodation in the village of Khirbet Ibzig last Thursday. The Zionist occupiers seized poles and tarpaulins, which were intended for the construction of eight tents, two for a field clinic, two for a mosque and four emergency shelters for the people “evacuated” from their homes. Another “moral offer” from the unscrupulous Zionist occupiers, who rob the Palestinians of the last and simplest means of preparing themselves for the makeshift defense against the virus. Wouldn’t it be the duty of the German government and the EU to finally react and put an end to this inhumane and illegal activity? (3) to finally react and put an end to this inhumane and illegal activity? (3) to finally react and put an end to this inhumane and illegal activity? (3)

Epicenter of oppression

While around 3,500 infected cases have been registered in the “Jewish state” despite the strict measures, there are still relatively few, around 100, in the occupied Palestinian territories, with an increasing tendency. This virus, too, does not prevent the Zionist occupation authorities from expanding the Palestinian unlawful policy of sealing off and “collective punishment”. Jewish settlers are becoming increasingly uninhibited, such as in the area around Bethlehem, where Palestinians live under the strictest quarantine by uprooting their trees, destroying their crops and wreaking havoc, knowing that the Palestinians cannot defend themselves and are helpless to destroy them Have to watch livelihood. Under the protection of the Jewish occupation army, the settlers are up to mischief. As a thank you, they are building their own streets “only for Jews” and more and more new settlements are being approved on stolen land. You actually feel in the epicenter of oppression, the Covid-19 always allows new heights.

The Israeli prisons, with their inhumane conditions, are also true virus spreaders. The occupation authorities reported that four Palestinian prisoners were infected after being interrogated with an Israeli investigator infected with the corona virus. It is an untenable situation that more than 5,000 Palestinians, including women, children, adolescents and the sick, are being held in prisons in a dirty, overcrowded state, disregarding all hygiene regulations. All of these prisoners must be released immediately. The occupation regime is known for not only keeping Palestinians arbitrary in administration, but also in partially isolated solitary confinement, in dirty cells without windows and daylight, filled with music and noise, and not afraid of the worst torture, to extort “confessions”. All of this has been known for decades, but is tolerated and supported by the so-called western “values” community in the “fight against terrorism”. After all, the prisoners are “Arab-Palestinian-Muslims”, ie “potential terrorists” (4)

So the captured and occupied Palestinians have only a desperate fight on two fronts, against the corona pandemic and against the brutal military occupation by the “Jewish state”. We have to make sure that the current corona crisis does not completely obliterate Palestine and continue to counter the decades of desolate Palestinian conditions.

Emergency laws that lead to the end of the rule of law

Even the immense danger situation must not lead to the fact that total surveillance, if it is embedded in an “empowerment law”, is only introduced voluntarily and only for a limited time, but must not escalate into Israeli or Hungarian circumstances. So if Germany is planning a smartphone app to slow down the virus, every responsible citizen should ask whether he wants to participate voluntarily. However, in times of Facebook / Whatsapp disclosure of any privacy without thinking and understanding fewer and fewer citizens will be able to recognize this risk of total surveillance and assess its scope. Can we really be sure that this “provision” will be limited and not lead to an emergency regime like under Orban in Hungary, that Parliament has been disempowered and brought to an end to the rule of law? After all, Hungary is an EU member and it would have been time to slow down Orban. If Israel wants to go further now and use computer analysis to find possible carriers of the corona virus, and also use software produced by the spy company NSO, which the FBI is suspected of being US citizens and Hacking companies and gathering information about governments, as Reuters reported in January, is more than immoral and downright criminal. Do Germany and other EU countries still want to use the “Jewish state” as a role model? Isn’t this global crisis a wake-up call to separate the “chaff from the wheat” and to prove it as a democratic state, how to achieve citizen security without criminal emergency and empowerment laws? Just as Orban is a shame for Europe, it has been the Zionist occupying regime for decades, embedded in European contacts and contracts. (5) (6) (7)

The important struggle against Covid-19 must not lead dictators and tyrants of this world to continue their brutal repression under the pretext of the pandemic spreading that NO ONE is safe from. While the killing and death of children continues in Yemen, Saudi Arabia can produce itself as a summit leader among the G20 “colleagues”, the “genocidal re-education” of the Uyghur Muslims in China continues undisturbed, as does the persecution of the Rohingya -Moslems in Burma and the murderous pogrom in India against Muslims and the persecution of minorities in the “greatest democracy” in the world. This unites ethnocracy and the “only” democracy in the Middle East and the “largest”, because India was buying weapons from Zionist friends to fight Corona. (8th)

How long do we have to wait until the European states, especially Germany, finally come to their senses and give up their compliant policy towards the “Jewish occupying state” and come to a moral offer based on real “Christian values” for the time after Corona virus?
