For those who don't know me: I'm a goyim from the Antwerp Jewish quarter.
I lived there until my 17 when I moved to Amsterdam in 1970. I have selebrated dozens of jewish hollydays and feasts like barmitzva, marriage, purim, pessach, .... (exept a jewish funeral, I just realise) and have been al over in occupied Palestine, the jewish state. So I'm NOT against judaism and for sure NOT an anti-semite but like most jews in Antwerp an anti Zionist and don't want to recognise the state founded by Ben Gurion in 1948.
President Obama was called in the N.Y. Times "a brave man" by Roger Cohen, May 20. (click on the link to read the NYT article) http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/21/opinion/21iht-edcohen21.html
I have read it. And yes, I agree that it was a brave speach. I've read also the first 12 comments where-of at least 5 very long ones were interesting too. Someone questioned why the Palestinian state should be demilitarised. Indeed! Netanyahu's state is the most militarised state with REAL EXISTING weapons of mass destruction. Or are nuclear weapons just innocent toys???
Mr Cohen wrote: "The president was therefore right to pull back from President George W. Bush’s acceptance of “already existing major Israeli population centers” beyond the 1967 lines." Of course! I have never heard G.W. Bush telling something not totally from the moon but how about the FACT that the 1946 U.N. resolution determined huge Palestinian population centers in the territory to become the Jewish state? The fact that Ben Gurion's proclamation of the Jewish state denied the (again!!! by the U.N. determined) Palestian population centers caused the FIRST war. And indeed, those existing "major" and growing Jewish settlements with Israeli army protection beyond the pre 1867 borders on Jordan territory caused the 1967 war. Mr. Cohen also questioned PM Netanyahu's reactions and if he has any real wish for real peace. In MY OPINION: No, PM Netanyahu doesn't want it at all!
Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, at the time being officially Ambassador to the NL, was nothing less as the Mossad head in Europe, in the only European country they could do whatever without any limitation. (I guess as long as it was kept secretly, not embarrasing the Dutch government and secret service) Why did they have some carte blanche? I guess: The Netherlands didn't want to be reminded that almost the whole jewish population ended up in Auschwitz due to the "willingly cooperation" of dutch banks, police and the "Bevolkingsregister van Amsterdam" municipal registry.
BTW: Is it a coincidence that Bibi's resumé at netanyahu.org omits his time in Amsterdam as ambassador...or am I wrong and was he just only head of the Mossad??? :/ Even Wikipedia omits it. Wiki does mention his officer's carier at the Matkal, the special commando of the Isr. army.
Just like the late PM Menachem Begin (pic left), Netanuahu c.s. had their background in terroristic and ultra secret organisations: Irgun of Etsel, Shabak and Mossad. It is their work, hobby and life goal! (The late PM Begin bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 killing 91 and was responsible for many more murdering terrorists actions!) They loved to chase, to dehumiliate, torture, even to kill palestinians (and Brittisch officials pre-1948). They don't want "us" to tell them to stop with their sadistic joie de vivre. They don't want to give up and lose their hobbies, games and toys. They also will NEVER recognise the International Court of Justice in their "free haven" Netherlands. Guess why. ;)
That's why I don't believe in peace in my lifetime. There are still to many Irgun, Shabak, Mossad and Oeti (army) men with political aspirations (like the perhaps less mean former PM and Chief of General Staff of the Isr. army, long time minister of defence, Ehud Barak. pic right) And on the other side to many - even for the thirth or fourth generation of palestinians dehumanised and frustrated and confronted every day in their life with the terror of scrupulous men who love their mean war games.
I know of two testimonies of Jewish militaries who have been traumatised by the orders they got and fled to less pro-Israel countries 25 years ago and a personal testimony of a Dutch "Blue Barret" who served 2 terms (of 4 months?) as a peace keeper in southern Lebanon. He went with the idea to stop those lebanese extremists and came back hating those Israeli militaries he has had to deal with. And, as I recall, almost the whole batalion (?) came back heavy traumatised. A few years later, on his last visit with us, one or two months before he died of AIDS, he answered my question on possible regrets: "Wish I didn't volunteered for Libanon... that I could say: Das hab'Ich nicht gewust!" I guess it's still to early to have a profound research on something like the "Israeli-Shabak-Mossad syndrome". ?
The only wistle blower on the subject, Victor Ostrovsky is almost forgotten after 17 years and frankly, both books on the shelf seem to screem to me: Don't read me again, for your health sake. You know already to much! ;)
Let's see what Bibi will say in Washington. ;)
LOL! MS translater. I've read it in Dutch, German and Frensh. I'm sure there are many syntax errors in the original and the translations are good enough to get the message. But some translated words are really funny. And, it's differend words in each translation. :)) I hope that the hebruw translation isn't twisting my words to much. :/
