I urge all of my readers to use their search engines for news about the Durban, South Africa Conference on Racism. Amazing things are going on! Perhaps the situation is best summarized by this little excerpt sent out by Israel Shamir:
"Even the US walkout, together with Israel, rather proves the thesis of the abnormal Jewish influence on the US. In a way, ***these two Jewish supremacist states were isolated in the important international forum."***
Emphasis added!
What a disgrace for the United States to be so snubbed and cold-shouldered! The US would do well to remember an old Indian saying: "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."
Now to today's ZGram, borrowed from the incomparable Doug Collins:

ON ORWELL AND ISRAEL | Doug Collins
Sorry about this. But it's time to be anti-Semitic again, what with that "anti-racism" conference going on in South Africa and the frenzied cries from our pols and press that there's nothing racist about Israel and Zionism.
The matter is really puzzling. I therefore crave enlightenment. But I don't think I'll get it from Hedy Fry, our multicult minister who has gone to Durban looking for burning crosses.
Take the expression "ethnic cleansing", of which our lot in Ottawa say the IsraeIis are innocent. It first saw the light during that little war in the Balkans. There was nothing new about it, however. It has been going on since Paleolithic times.and the Israelis are expert at it.
It started in what used to be Palestine the moment Israel was created. Three-quarters of a million Palestinians were chased out, and they and their children have been refugees ever since.
Take terrorism. President Bush apparently blames the dispossessed for it. Perhaps he has never heard of Menachem Begin, who in 1948 filled wells with murdered Palestinians of all ages at a place called Deir Yassin. Begin later become the prime minister. And he had no difficulty in coming to Canada on fund-raising trips.
How about Ariel Sharon? He was the guy who as the Israeli defence minister in 1982 gave the green light to the massacres at the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps in which at least a thousand Palestinians ended up dead. It caused such a scandal, even in Israel, that he was forced to resign. But I suppose all has been forgiven, since he is now the prime minister. In the U.K., though, a BBC program concluded that Sharon could be put on trial for war crimes. More anti-Semitism!
Begin, Sharon, Yitzak Shamir, and Yitzak Rabin, prime ministers all, have each deserved the title of terrorist. But they are never named as such in our media. That sort of thing is reserved for Yasser Arafat & Co.
You don't get much of the Palestinian side of the story but last year PBS did get around to telling some of it in a documentary called The People and the Land.
It showed how the Palestinians are still being thrown out of their homes and land to make room for Jewish "settlers". And how Israel takes not the slightest notice of U.N. resolutions condemning such things.
At the time the program was aired, 140,000 Jews had been moved in and thousands of Palestinian homes had been destroyed.
They are now, as the commentator put it, "100 per cent segregated communities" that are in effect "dozens of little South Africas". Palestinians are not even allowed to walk in those districts.
Also in Israel, ethnicity is a factor in what sort of number plate you get for your car. If you are a Jew, it's yellow. If you are a Palestinian, it's white, or blue if you live on the occupied West Bank.
That isn't racist, of course. But if it isn't, what is? And what do you call a system in which race and religion determine whether you can go to Israel to live? Any Jew from anywhere in the world can become an Israeli citizen, but Palestinians who have emigrated cannot go back to the country that was once theirs.
In view of all this I was perplexed to read a piece from the Calgary Sun in which the Palestinians were compared to the Nazis. It seems that they are oppressing the Jews, not the other way round.
The writer was associate editor Paul Jackson, and at first I thought he was putting his readers on. But then it dawned on me that he was off his rocker. "Living in Israel today is like living in Nazi Germany," he wrote. "It's open season on the Jewish people and, as in Nazi Germany, the world apparently doesn't care."
In his view, the suicide bombers and other acts of desperation by Palestinians is a Nazi-like activity. So, presumably, is the rock throwing by Palestinian kids against Israelis armed with guns.
Pardon me if this gets confusing, And yes, I know about concentration camps. But I never heard of the Nazis stacking themselves with explosives and blowing themselves up, etc.
Jackson must be looking over his shoulder at Izzy Asper & Co., who own the Herald. He's probably looking for promotion and I'm sure he'll get it, IzzyPress being pro-Zionist to the extent of ordering its minions to run editorials from the Jerusalem Post.
Racism? Of course Israel is a racist state. It's just that no western leaders want to admit it, there being far more Jewish power in the West than Arab.
Why do you think that at last count the U.S. had given $77 billion in aid to Israel? Which, as that PBS program reported, is seven times as much as it has given to the whole of Black Africa?
As George Orwell put it, two and two make five, war is peace, and freedom is slavery.
