Arab Scum!!

FPF/PIR-fwd. Shahin & Jameela al-Shanti

HR comment: It is not right, I think, to only call a lot of the Arab profiteers scum. It is quite obvious that a small part of the globe's population which agrees with the ongoing holocaust, is scum too. Whatever the nationality, race, religion or color. But they will pay for their crimes. Their making of a horror string of Guernicas will be punished.

ARAB SCUM!!

By Shahin

UK, 10 November 06 - "Arab Scum!!": Were my thoughts when I read this article by a Palestinian Muslim woman about the martyrdom seeking resistance put up by her and her compatriots to the American-backed genocide of believing Muslims in Gaza.

Why Arab scum? Because these overfed cockroaches in the Arabian Gulf and Saudi-occupied Arabia, sitting in their luxury mansions engorging themselves with American fast food, driving American cars and paying for American pornography on their American satellite channels don’t give a damn about the crimes being perpetrated by their "god", Crusader Bush!

The article pasted below is by By Jameela al-Shanti a Hamas MP in Beit Hanoun, which is under Israeli/American siege. The town is undergoing the Fallujah treatment. It has been surrounded. The food, water and electricity has been cut off. All the males above the age of 15 have been kidnapped en masse, Screbrenica style, by the American hench-dogs. If that was not enough the remaining women and children have been subjected to indiscriminate shooting and bombing. Over 90 Muslims, mostly civilians (women and children) have been massacred in the first week of November alone!

THEY MARCHED STRAIGHT AT ISRAELI TANKS

Despite these conditions which would have broken the nerve of even a herd of bull elephants. The women of Beit Hanoun took it upon themselves to use their bodies as the only means of resistance and defence when they marched straight at Israeli tanks to help rescue some of their men trapped in a mosque.

I saw on TV last week how these women were machine gunned in front of the world’s eyes and yet they kept going. The next shot was the scene at the hospital of wounded women children either screaming in agony or dying. The hospital itself has been the victim of American and Western sanctions to the point where basic antibiotics which are a penny a dozen at any British pharmacy have become rarer than a Gulf petro-Arab with a backbone!

Why Arab scum? Because it’s the Arab states in the region which are implementing and supporting the crimes against the Islamic people of Gaza. It is the Gulf Petro-Arabs who are pumping out excessive quantities of oil so that the price is kept artificially low to help the Crusader American economy so it can fund the Israeli colonial occupation of Muslim land. It’s the Arab states, in particular Egypt which is ensuring that the only access Gaza has with a neighbouring Muslim country is firmly sealed so that no relief gets through and the Palestinians have no means of escape from the American attacks.

TO OVERTHROW THE POPULARLY ELECTED HAMAS GOVERNMENT

It’s the Arab states led by Egypt, and Jordan, which has been conspiring with Israel to overthrow the popularly elected Hamas government. In the past these Arab cockroaches at least whined a few anti-Israeli slogans to keep their populations quiet. Now they don’t even bother to do that, as their tongues are busy fighting with each other to get further up Bush’s backside.

The siege of Gaza can be broken if the neighbouring Arab states had the will to do it. They don’t even have to risk fighting. All they have to do is to turn the oil taps a little tighter and reduce the West’s oil supply as they did in the 1970’s. Here are the Muslim women of Gaza facing bullets and bombs and the cockroaches inhabiting Saudi-occupied Arabia, and Arabian Gulf could not even be bothered to sacrifice a cup of Starbucks coffee or a McDonald’s burger for a bit of Muslim solidarity! And these vermin call themselves the Guardians of the two Holy cities!

I’m not surprised by the cowardice by the Arabs of the Arabian peninsula. Lets face it. The invasion of Iraq never would have been possible without the collaboration and support of Saudi-occupied Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan and Oman.

Jameela Al Shanti made a mistake in blaming the West and Israel. The real guilty party are the Arabs!

It’s about time Hamas and the Palestinians put the blame where it really falls – on the shoulders of the Arabs!

WE OVERCAME OUR FEAR

The unarmed women of the Gaza Strip have taken the lead in resisting Israel's latest bloody assault

By Jameela al-Shanti in Beit Hanoun (*)


11/09/06 "The Guardian" - Yesterday at dawn, the Israeli air force bombed and destroyed my home. I was the target, but instead the attack killed my sister-in-law, Nahla, a widow with eight children in her care. In the same raid Israel's artillery shelled a residential district in the town of Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip, leaving 19 dead and 40 injured, many killed in their beds. One family, the Athamnas, lost 16 members in the massacre: the oldest who died, Fatima, was 70; the youngest, Dima, was one; seven were children. The death toll in Beit Hanoun has passed 90 in one week.

This is Israel's tenth incursion into Beit Hanoun since it announced its withdrawal from Gaza. It has turned the town into a closed military zone, collectively punishing its 28,000 residents. For days, the town has been encircled by Israeli tanks and troops and shelled. All water and electricity supplies were cut off and, as the death toll continued to mount, no ambulances were allowed in. Israeli soldiers raided houses, shut up the families and positioned their snipers on roofs, shooting at everything that moved. We still do not know what has become of our sons, husbands and brothers since all males over 15 years old were taken away last Thursday. They were ordered to strip to their underwear, handcuffed and led away.

WATCH THOSE YOU LOVE DISAPPEAR BEFORE YOUR EYES

It is not easy as a mother, sister or wife to watch those you love disappear before your eyes. Perhaps that was what helped me, and 1,500 other women, to overcome our fear and defy the Israeli curfew last Friday - and set about freeing some of our young men who were besieged in a mosque while defending us and our city against the Israeli military machine.

We faced the most powerful army in our region unarmed. The soldiers were loaded up with the latest weaponry, and we had nothing, except each other and our yearning for freedom. As we broke through the first barrier, we grew more confident, more determined to break the suffocating siege. The soldiers of Israel's so-called defence force did not hesitate to open fire on unarmed women. The sight of my close friends Ibtissam Yusuf abu Nada and Rajaa Ouda taking their last breaths, bathed in blood, will live with me for ever.

IN THE LAST WEEK 30 CHILDREN HAVE DIED

Later an Israeli plane shelled a bus taking children to a kindergarten. Two children were killed, along with their teacher. In the last week 30 children have died. As I go round the crowded hospital, it is deeply poignant to see the large number of small bodies with their scars and amputated limbs. We clutch our children tightly when we go to sleep, vainly hoping that we can shield them from Israel's tanks and warplanes.

But as though this occupation and collective punishment were not enough, we Palestinians find ourselves the targets of a systematic siege imposed by the so-called free world. We are being starved and suffocated as a punishment for daring to exercise our democratic right to choose who rules and represents us. Nothing undermines the west's claims to defend freedom and democracy more than what is happening in Palestine.

BUSH DID ALL HE COULD TO STRANGLE OUR NASCENT DEMOCRACY

Shortly after announcing his project to democratise the Middle East, President Bush did all he could to strangle our nascent democracy, arresting our ministers and MPs. I have yet to hear western condemnation that I, an elected MP, have had my home demolished and relatives killed by Israel's bombs. When the bodies of my friends and colleagues were torn apart there was not one word from those who claim to be defenders of women's rights on Capitol Hill and in 10 Downing Street.

Why should we Palestinians have to accept the theft of our land, the ethnic cleansing of our people, incarcerated in forsaken refugee camps, and the denial of our most basic human rights, without protesting and resisting?

The lesson the world should learn from Beit Hanoun last week is that Palestinians will never relinquish our land, towns and villages. We will not surrender our legitimate rights for a piece of bread or handful of rice. The women of Palestine will resist this monstrous occupation imposed on us at gunpoint, siege and starvation. Our rights and those of future generations are not open for negotiation.

Whoever wants peace in Palestine and the region must direct their words and sanctions to the occupier, not the occupied, the aggressor not the victim.

The truth is that the solution lies with Israel, its army and allies - not with Palestine's women and children.
