I'm struck by the hysterical tone of Hirsh Goodman's piece saying that Israel must go to war against critical information. You'd think Goodman would be more worldly. He grew up in South Africa, was a reporter for many years, and is married to a New York Times correspondent. Yet he defends the murderous flotilla raid and the onslaught of Gaza in 08-09, and is angry that Israel is not getting its message out so as to maintain its image in the world, and its lifeline of international support.

The obvious response to Goodman is that this battle is lost. The world is tired of Israel shaping the news, the world is tired of miraculous battles with "terrorists" in which nine non-Jews are killed and all the Israelis survive, and the dispossession doesn't stop. Even in the U.S. public opinion is now in play. Every day in the West Bank, Jewish colonists run over Palestinians on the Jews-only roads, or Israeli soldiers shoot young Palestinians, or evict families from their homes. That's what the world is focused on.

Still: Goodman feels the walls closing in. Almost all Israelis seem to feel the same way.

Jews sans frontieres, Jun 10, 2010

Ynet is the online expression of the Israeli daily newspaper, Yediot Ahronoth. That's Hebrew for "who's the idiot?" No, it's not really. It means "latest news". It's a tabloid in shape, size and style preferring "drama and human interest over sophisticated analysis". Having said that, even though it wasn't me that actually said that, I had thought that since going on line, the paper did seem to be going for the analysis one associates more with Ha'aretz. I put that down to the fact that with an international market for its English translation, Yediot Ahronoth, would have to seek a certain credibility. But I was wrong.

Anyway, this report says that the chief of the Israeli army has asked a retired major-general, Giora Eiland, to head the inquiry by a panel. In fairness, the inquiry is only about "operational issues", like presumably, did they shoot enough people quickly enough? did they move quickly enough to confiscate cameras and phones? that sort of thing but:

J Street on “peace” Array Imprimer Array

Has J Street's ridiculous reaction to the armed take-over of the Rachel Corrie been properly appreciated or responded to? Not that I know of. I'm in Gaza, and so dunking Jeremy Ben-Ami's head in a toilet bowl, the only appropriate retaliation to that twerp's reaction to Israeli war crimes in Gazan sea-lanes, will not be feasible in the short-term. Ha'aretz reported that the "Army says peaceful takeover takes place." J Street, now the world's premier anti-anti-Zionist movement, existing solely to shore up American support for Jewish ethnocracy in the Middle East, obediently twitted: "#flotilla peacefully taken over by IDF, redirected to Ashdod." Imagine. I take out an assault rifle, put on a balaclava, and start issuing orders to a Nobel Peace Prize winner, political figures from a Southeast Asian country, and a former high official in the United Nations. Because they don't forcefully resist, aware that the Israeli army gunned down the brave resisters on the Mavi Marmara a couple days before, the army's press flacks blare about their "peaceful takeover."

Attn: American liberalism. Absence of resistance does not = "peaceful."

And then here is lynch, the latest entry in the hasbara dictionary. In the American South, lynching meant hanging up a black person on a tree and strangling them to death, burning them alive, or breaking their neck. In Israel, "lynching" refers to when people under armed assault by jackbooted commandos disarm those commandos, and after hitting them in self-defense, treat their wounds (the Israeli press office does more of our work for us in pissing on the horrible memory of white terrorism in the South against blacks, in line with the Zionist SOP of instrumentalizing tragedy, and in the process maybe gets us more allies).

«Crimine internazionale gli arrembaggi di Israele» Array Imprimer Array

NOAM CHOMSKY - Uno smacco per Obama

«Un chiaro atto di pirateria in acque internazionali. I commandos israeliani sono piombati con un blitz sulla nave Mavi Marmara a 90 miglia dalla Turchia, uccidendo 9 civili. È un grave crimine internazionale, non solo contro la Turchia ma anche contro l'Italia. E che si è ripetuto, senza vittime, con la Rachel Corrie». È la denuncia di Noam Chomsky che incontriamo appena rientrato da una serie di conferenze in Giordania, Libano, Parigi e dopo il divieto di entrare in Israele.

Perché l'arrembaggio israeliano è giuridicamente grave sia per la Turchia che per l'Italia?
Supponiamo che una nave israeliana venga intercettata ed attaccata da soldati iraniani e che questi uccidano dei civili. Esisterebbero forse dubbi che siamo in presenza di un crimine a livello internazionale? Probabilmente l'Iran verrebbe cancellato dalla faccia della terra. Nel contesto attuale, la Turchia fa parte della Nato come l'Italia ed esiste un trattato che specifica: «Ogni paese membro ha l'obbligo di prestare aiuto nei confronti di qualsiasi paese dell'Alleanza atlantica che venga attaccato». Per il diritto internazionale marittimo, una nave che batte bandiera turca come la «Mavi Marmara» è parte della sovranità del paese. Per conseguenza l'aggressione israeliana costituisce un crimine internazionale verso la Turchia e di tutti gli altri paesi che, come l'Italia, fanno parte della Nato. Israele da trent'anni segue questo modus operandi, ignorando i trattati internazionali col beneplacito degli Stati Uniti, intercettando navi dirette in Libano, catturandole, talvolta uccidendo civili e imprigionandoli in Israele come ostaggi.
