Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
In many parts of the world, this is "Holocaust Remembrance
Week" where the
Jews wail about their real and imagined suffering. I want to take this
opportunity to remember a "small" Holocaust visited very recently
by
Israelis and Jews on others.
There will be other stories about Holocausts in days and weeks to come,
such as the crimes of Deir Yassin, the massacres of Egyptian prisoners of
war
etc. For now, look at this one - summarized and reprinted with permission
by Ali Baghdadi of the Arab Journal. (Editorial additions in brackets).
"One year ago, on April 18, 1996 to be exact, 155 mm Israeli shells
donated
by Uncle Sam rained down on Lebanese men, women, and children taking refuge
in a UN peace-keeping compound in Qana, southern Lebanon, to escape Israeli
air, sea, and land bombardment of their towns and villages, and as a
result, the bodies of 102 Arab civilians were shattered to pieces.
Leading up to the Qana massacre, 17 villages had been flattened, over a
half million people had been rendered homeless, more than 200 had been
murdered, and hundreds were wounded, in what was named as operation "Grapes
of Wrath". Israeli Prime Minister Peres, who was granted the Nobel
Prize
for Peace, ordered the bombing blitz. The entire world, with the exception
of the White House, condemned this barbaric attack conducted intentionally
against defenseless civilians.
The UN compound in Qana has become a holocaust memorial to remind the world
what Zionist Jews are capable of. The hangar where the lives of 102 victims
were shattered to pieces has been left as it was. Bits of shrapnel, broken
furniture, twisted metal, burned blankets, bloody toys are scattered on
the
floor. Nearby, the mass graves of these victims have been covered in black
marble and decorated with portraits of the martyrs. Arabs and Muslims from
every corner of the globe visit the site and promise the dead this ugly
crime will never be forgotten. The time will come when the war criminals
will be brought to justice and punished.
Butros Butros Ghali, (married to a Jewish woman), though he was an obedient
servant of (the New World Order crowd), lost his job as a UN Secretary
General. He was sacrificed at the altar of the Zionist masters who control
the Oval Office. His only crime during his four years of service was the
issuing of a mild UN report putting the blame for the Qana massacre on the
Israeli government.
The UN commander, General Stanislaw Wozniak, rejected the Israeli lies and
called the attack unacceptable.
"Simply, you do not attack civilians. You do not attack UN positions,"
he
emphasized.
The massacre was an act of deliberate terror aimed at punishing civilians
for Tel-Aviv's failure to bring an end to Lebanese resistance and
determination to liberate their lands from Israeli occupation.
Israeli military men who participated in the slaughter of Lebanese
civilians said that the attack was justified; that they have no regrets;
and that those who were killed were just "a bunch of Arabs" who
lives are
not important.
The Israeli military commander who led these men declared that this was
a
war and (they) must continue to fight like real fighters.
"We did our duty. They deserve to die because they are only Arabs."
An
Israeli soldier told "Kol Ha'Irr", an Israeli magazine, "I
obeyed the
orders. My conscience does not bother me at all. We should have fired more
shells to kill more Arabs . . . One Arab more, one Arab less, you know.
Even the battery commander said that to us. Any way, there are millions
of
Arabs."
Munira Taqi, who fled with her family to the UN compound in Qana from their
home in Jebal Buttum a few miles away, lost her husband and an 8-year-old
daughter. The mother, who was shielded by her husband, was wounded in the
legs. While sitting beneath photos of her slain loved ones, she told
newsmen who came to visit her:
"My child was on my lap and then she vanished. Shreds of her pajamas
were
all that was left."
Her surviving 7-year-old daughter walks with a limp and rarely speaks. Her
left leg and arm are crippled.
In the town of Nabateya, a family of nine, including a mother and 7
children (one a 4-day-old baby), were wiped out by a so-called surgical
strike. The father had left two days earlier to perform pilgrimage in the
Holy City of Mecca. The father now has no wife, no children and no home
to
which to return. American technology, as shown over Lebanon, Iraq and
Libya, does work!
Earlier an ambulance with two women and four children received a direct
hit. . . American weapons over Muslim and Arab have proven to be effective!
The questions that puzzle every decent human being anywhere on earth are
the following:
How can anyone find (this) acceptable for a people, who had themselves
experienced many calamities because these refugees chose to remain close
to
their homes and villages?! How can anyone imagine that people, who had
(allegedly) suffered centuries of oppression, are able to target innocent
civilians taking shelter in a camp belonging to a UN peace-keeping unit,
despite repeated UN personnel's appeals to stop the shelling?! How can any
man or woman comprehend how Jews, who build memorials to remind people of
the "holocaust", have the power to drop "smart" bombs
over towns and
villages inhabited by real people?! How can any individual understand how
Jews, who continue to complain (about) Nazi atrocities, have the strength
and will to force the evacuation of 100 towns and villages and render the
peaceful inhabitants homeless with no food, water, clothing or shelter?!
The Qana is only one in a series of massacres that Israel committed since
its illegal creation by the West on Palestinian soil. Israel has shown the
entire world that it is always capable, with plenty of American help, of
acquiring and using the most sophisticated technology to kill and maim,
to
orphan and widow, and to destroy and burn people who have done them no
harm!
(The Arab Journal, April 18, 1997)
Thought for the Day:
"Since Israel's inception no military court has pronounced a life sentence
against a Jew who murdered an Arab."
(Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, March 1997 issue, page 18)
