The loathsome smearing of Israel`s critics
- May. 8th, 2008 at 8:47 AM
Attention Editors and Writers of Alternative Media
May 8, 2008
By Israel e News Johann Hari - The Independent
In the US and Britain, there is a campaign to smear anybody who tries to describe the plight of the Palestinian people. It is an attempt to intimidate and silence – and to a large degree, it works. There is nobody these self-appointed spokesmen for Israel will not attack as anti-Jewish: liberal Jews, rabbis, even Holocaust survivors. My own case isn't especially important, but it illustrates how the wider process of intimidation works. I have worked undercover at both the Finsbury Park mosque and among neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers to expose the Jew-hatred there; when I went on the Islam Channel to challenge the anti-Semitism of Islamists, I received a rash of death threats calling me "a Jew-lover", "a Zionist-homo pig" and more. Ah, but wait. I have also reported from Gaza and the West Bank. Last week, I wrote an article that described how untreated sewage was being pumped from illegal Israeli settlements on to Palestinian land, contaminating their reservoirs. This isn't controversial. It has been documented by Friends of the Earth, and I have seen it with my own eyes. The response? There was little attempt to dispute the facts I offered. Instead, some of the most high profile "pro-Israel" writers and media monitoring groups – including Honest Reporting and Camera – said I an anti-Jewish bigot akin to Joseph Goebbels and Mahmoud Ahmadinejadh, while Melanie Phillips even linked the stabbing of two Jewish people in North London to articles like mine. Vast numbers of e-mails came flooding in calling for me to be sacked.

And how Israel has a thriving economy…. thanks to the U.S. giving Israel billions and billions of dollars per year.
And how Israel is such a “peace” loving nation… Just be sure to shout that loudly, so you’ll be heard over the Apache helicopter gunships strafing Gaza.. and to be heard over the IDF’s 155 mm artillery shelling Gaza.
And to be heard over the IDF armored bulldozers, crushing the life out of the West Bank by knocking down Palestinian homes and smashing down their olive groves and running over the occasional peace activist.
And to be heard over the deady barking sounds of the numerous IDF sub-machine guns, ripping and tearing into the flesh of Palestinian kids.
Yep, Israel is one peaceful nation, alright.
The only peace Israel wants is: a “piece” of Jordan; a “piece” of Syria; a “piece” of Lebanon; a “piece” of Egypt; a “piece” of Iraq; a “piece” of Saudi Arabia and whatever “pieces” are left after Israel finishes it’s genocidal extermination of the Palestinians.
