U.S. RULING OLIGARCHY WAGES HYBRID WAR TO SALVAGE HEGEMONY [LINK | Article]
Who's preaching world democracy, democracy, democracy? —Who wants to make free people free?
Mads Gilbert is a convincing voice for Palestine and it's worthwhile taking the time to view this video, which is from the perspective of a medical professional that has long been active in helping people in Palestine.
Gilbert says that, according to international law, an occupied people have the right to take up arms to defend themselves. That isn't something the mainstream media makes clear. In fact, I think that's the first time I've ever heard anybody say that.
It is also illegal to occupy a people! Wow, I didn't even know that.
During this interview, Gilbert calls into question the Israeli narrative of Israel as a people under attack.
Gilbert goes on to say that the solution is a political one rather than a military one.
NOAM CHOMSKY
Which takes me back to another video that I watched about Palestine and Israel - Noam Chomsky's UN speech:
It's worthwhile taking the time to watch the Noam Chomsky video because he explains the ways in which a political solution has been dodged.
Watched this video some time ago and summarised some of the points Chomsky made during the first half hour or so of the video. Summary below:
Israel-Palestine conflict: general outlines of a diplomatic solution has been clear for at least 40 years.
Resolution brought before UN 1976 called for two-state settlement internationally recognised border which guarantees rights of both states
1976 resolution brought to UN by 3 major Arab states -- Egypt, Jordan, Syria ('the Confrontation States')
1976 UN resolution -- Israel refused to attend the session. Resolution vetoed by US.
1976 UN Resolution> US veto typically DOUBLE-VETO
1) Non-implementation Resolution
2) Event vetoed from history ..
1976 UN Resolution> Israel refusal to attend + US veto of implementation of Resolution (& from history) SET PATTERN SINCE
1976 UN Resolution> most recent US VETO 2011 #Obama - vetoed implementation 4 official US policy / for opp. to expansion of settlements
Opposition to expansion of settlements >*expansion* not issue / issue is illegal *settlements* + infrastructure projects
for long time, overwhelming international consensus in support of a [illegal] settlement along these general lines
UN pattern set 1976 continues to the present /Israel rejects settlement of terms with unremitting & decisive support of US
UN pattern set 1976 continues with unremitting & decisive support of US -- military, economic, diplomatic & ideological
pattern continues with support of US, establishing how conflict viewed & interpreted in US & within US sphere of influence
pattern> ceasefire, Israel disregards >continues assault on Gaza, incl. continued siege, intermittent violence, settlement & development.
pattern> Hamas observe ceasefire until Israel escalation elicits Hamas response >Israel exercises 'mowing the lawn' [ie military offensive against Palestinians]
pattern > Israel 'mowing the lawn' [ie military offensive against Palestinians] > each episode more fierce & destructive than the last -- in a series
Agreement on Movement & Access Nov 2005, called for crossing between Gaza & Egypt (Rafah)
2005 Agreement > for export of goods & transit of people , continuous op of crossings between Israel & Gaza 4 import/export + transit of people
2005 Agreement > called for reduction of obstacles to movement w/in the West Bank, bus & truck convoys between West Bank & Gaza ...
2005 Agreement > called for the building of a sea port in Gaza, the reopening of airport in Gaza (that Israel had destroyed)
Terms of 2005 Movement & Access Agreement are essentially terms of successive ceasefires, incl. one reached few weeks ago.
2005 Agreement timing significant > it was moment of Israel's disengagement from Gaza & removal several thousand Israeli settlers
2005 Israel disengagement stated goal was the FREEZING of the peace process to prevent establishment of Palestinian state
2005 Israel disengagement stated goal was to ensure that diplomacy has been removed indefinitely from agenda ...
Israel-Palestine:'05 Israel disengagement reality: ruined territory not released for even single day from Israel military grip or occupation
'05 Israel disengagement stated reality - Israel left behind scorched earth, devastated services & people with no present or future
2005 Israel disengagement stated reality: settlements were destroyed in an ungenerous move by an unenlightened occupier
2005 Israel disengagement >occupier continues to control territory kill & harass inhabitants >means of formidable military might
Oslo Accords established 20 years ago >> Gaza & West Bank are INDIVISIBLE TERRITORIAL UNITY > integrity cannot be broken up
For 20 years US & Israel dedicated to separating Gaza & West Bank in VIOLATION of the ACCORDS they had ACCEPTED
Separation of Gaza & West bank look at map explains why: Gaza offers only access to outside world to Palestine.
if Gaza is separated from the West Bank whatever autonomy it might be granted in West Bank would be imprisoned.
September. West Bank = Imprisoned; Israel on one side & hostile Jordan (ally of Israel) on other and Israel-US Jordan valley takeover
Israel's slow & steady US-backed policy is to take over Jordan Valley, about 1/3 of West Bank & much of arable land
Jordan Valley take-over is major geostrategic reason for Israel with US backing INSISTENCE on SEPARATING Gaza & West Bank
Jan 2006 = first full free election in the Arab world (monitored & recognised) occurred> HAMAS won control of Parliament
Hamas win election result in 2006 was not what US & Israel wanted
2006 Hamas win of Parliament good test of US 'democracy promotion' agenda > Fail: Palestine harsh siege instituted US/IS
following 2006 Hamas win of Parliament, US began to immediately organise a military coup - as per standard US record
post 2006 election, US organised military coup >> to its shame & discredit, European Union went along with this.
sounds like the punishment, violence, US arranged coup (accepted by EU) led to Israeli escalation + end to Nov 2005 Agreement
2007 Hamas committed even greater crime than winning fair election; it pre-empted planned military coup & took over Gaza!
2007 elected Hamas PREVENTING US-arranged coup is described in West as Hamas taking Gaza over by 'force'.
Hamas preventing planned & US-arranged military coup against the Hamas elected government led to substantial attacks on Gaza.
Jan 2008 another. ceasefire reached. Similar to 2005 terms. Israel publicly rejected ceasefire. Hamas observed the ceasefire.
one-sided ceasefire cont. to Nov 4, 2008 - day of US election - Israeli forces invaded Gaza & killed Hamas militants ...
Nov 2008 Israel attack on Gaza led 2 rocket fire on Israel, a huge Israeli response, lots killings: Palestinians, as usual
mid Dec 2008, Hamas offer to renew the ceasefire, Israeli doveish Cabinet rejected & launched next military op 'Cast Lead'
2008 Israel Op 'Cast Lead' >> horrible Op .. caused substantial international reaction, investigation: UN, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch
2008 Israel Op 'Cast Lead' >> precisely timed to end before #Obama inauguration .. so Obama didn't have to respond.
no comment / let's forget about the past & look to the future is standard slogan for those engaged in serious crime
Jan 8, 2009 >> UN Resolution passed (US abstaining) >> calling for immediate cease-fire with usual terms - NEVER OBSERVED
> UN ceasefire Resolution of Jan 8, 2009 > broke down completely w. next episode of 'mowing the lawn' in Nov. 2012
>Nov. 2012 'mow the lawn' [ie military offensive against Palestinians] >> get good sense what going on looking @ casualty figures: 79 killed / 78 of them Palestinians
The above points were summarised weeks ago, and this is one of the things I didn't get around to finishing. Hopefully it makes sense.
I thought the Chomsky UN video was amazing. It explains in simple terms what's really going on, which was a revelation to me, as I'm new to politics and as you don't get this sort of information from mainstream media.
[Excuse any typos. Another all-nighter, no sleep. Getting to be a baaaaad habit.]
