A ZIONIST GENERAL'S SON SHATTERS THE MYTHS










The U.S. condoned war zone of Gaza with omnipresent Israeli watchtower
  
 
 


The myth of Israel's right to Palestine as well as their illegal and brutal U.S. supported Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has finally been exposed and shattered by a Zionist Generals' son, Miko Peled ~ who reveals in his book that Israel's rabid Zionists are very similar to America's rabid neo-conservatives and that the only hope for the region depends on a bottom up American public outcry for human rights and democracy to replace the current Israel Garrison state of subjugation and apartheid: Allen L Roland, Ph.D






Innocent victim of U.S. condoned and military supported Apartheid in Gaza
  

On Wednesday, Gaza's health ministry, which keeps casualty figures, said 209 Palestinians had been killed and 1,560 were injured as the fighting continued for a ninth day. At least 39 children and 24 women were among the dead, officials said. In actuality, 80% of the killed and injured are civilians. Remember, there is no Israeli Iron Dome to protect Palestinian civilians and children ~ this is not war, it's genocide.

Below is a photograph of the anguished wail of a grieving father of one of the four young boys who was killed by an Israeli strike in Gaza on Wednesday. The boys, all cousins and under the age of 12, had been playing soccer on the beach when the Israelis attack occurred. The man’s picture, by photographer Hosam Salem, was taken during the boys’ funeral.



The open sore of  man's brutal inhumanity to man continues unabated in Gaza despite the cries of many of the world's humanitarian leaders to end this Zionist and American sanctioned slaughter of occupied and oppressed civilians and their rightful defenders. This ongoing atrocity is paying a psychic toll on the world's conscience and can no longer go on unabated without severe consequences.

In December of 2013, I summarized my outraged feelings which also included a 4 minute video clip of former president Jimmy Carter commenting on Hard Ball regarding the truth about Israel. See article and video ~ http://www.veteransnewsnow.com/2013/12/18/the-worlds-long-festering-truth-israel-is-an-illegal-garrison-state/

Here's Carter's Hardball 5 minute TV appearance by itself ~ and note how it is abruptly ended as Carter's talking points take effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvtC_qzHVM4&feature=player_embedded

But now we have an honest Israeli Jew, Miko Peled, the son of a Zionist General, telling the Real Truth about Israel and the ravages of unchecked Zionism.

Miko Peled was born in Jerusalem into a famous and influential Israeli Zionist family. His father was a famous General in the Israeli Army, of which Miko also served his time. When Miko's niece was killed by Palestinian suicide bombers, you may have expected the family to put Palestinians at fault, but surprisingly they blamed the state of Israel, and their violent torturing and persecution for driving people to such sadness that they would take their own lives.

Through his father's deep knowledge of the Israeli war of terror, together with his own research, Miko Peled peals away the myths surrounding the Israel and Palestine situation, and delivers a truth so damning that many Jews and Israel supporters will not be able to bear it. He reveals facts such as the original expelled Jews are not the ones returning, and they are not their descendants either, covers the double standards regarding the right of return, which doesn't apply to Palestinians, and dispels the myth that there has been a conflict for ages by producing proof that it was peaceful up until 1947 when Israel launched their illegal attacks.

Miko is just one of the many modern day Jews against Zionism and the state of Israel, and with the information he delivers in this astounding talk, it is not difficult to see why more and more Jews are rejecting Zionism and calling for the dismantling of Israel. It is a true eye-opener for anyone who has for too long been blinded by the fake misinformation given by the mainstream media, and the truths come straight from the heartland where he has spent many years documenting the real story.

The last 20 minutes of this riveting 65 minute video are spontaneous questions and answers where Miko shares that the current preoccupation of Israel with Iran is a smokescreen to cover up apartheid with Palestine, that the only law that applies to Palestinians is Israeli military law and that only a bottom up American demand for human rights and democracy can change or break the Israeli garrison apartheid state and its AIPAC supporters.

As Margaret Kimberley correctly writes in ICH ~ "Of all the partners in international crime in existence right now, the United States and Israel are the worst. Along with their less powerful cohorts like Saudi Arabia they have instigated occupations and carnage on a mass scale. Yet while one hand washes the other, it isn’t always clear who controls whom. Israel uses the political and economic muscle of its supporters to keep American politicians in line, but it also doesn’t have to work very hard to find a receptive ear in Washington."

THE WORLD'S LAST HERO / NELSON MANDELA


















America has its beloved former president Abraham Lincoln, but the World has its beloved hero and constant inspiration, Nelson Mandela ~ the South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and leader who was jailed for 27 years, served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999 and rightfully won the Nobel Peace prize in 1993. Mandela today is still a unifying call in the universal fight against oppression and apartheid ~ a living symbol of hope, unity, love and peace: Allen L Roland


"As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison."
Nelson Mandela


I didn't want to wait to write a eulogy for the world's last Hero, Nelson Mandela, so I chose instead to acknowledge and share my feelings now about this giant symbol of hope, perseverance and peace with a world that is running out of true heroes who are willing to live their principles and carry the same banner that Mandela still carries.

Here's Mandela's first  video interview on May 21, 1961 after being jailed for 27 years and note how his voice has indeed left the hatred and bitterness behind as he speaks of his continued commitment to one man, one vote and fundamental human rights as well as peaceful and non-violent demonstrations. See 4 minute video


And here is Mandela's life story which covers his humble beginnings and his longing for the freedom from the shackles of  the 'legalized discrimination' of Apartheid and his resultant stormy rise to become the revered father of South Africa and an inspiration to the world. 13 minute must see video ~











But the legend of Nelson Mandela must include his role as the Black Pimpernel where he went underground and battled for South African freedom as a revolutionary ~ living in seclusion, wearing various disguises and inspiring a nation with his exploits. Here is Mandela describing his experience in excerpts from the Black Pimpernel ~ "Under apartheid, a black man lived a shadowy life between legality and illegality, between openness and concealment. To be a black man in South Africa meant not to trust anything, which was not unlike living underground for one's entire life…. I became a creature of the night. I would keep to my hideout during the day, and would emerge to do my work when it became dark …. I would wear the blue overalls of the fieldworker and often wore round, rimless glasses known as Mazzawati tea glasses. I had a car and I wore a chauffeur's cap with my overalls. The pose of chauffeur was convenient because I could travel under the pretext of driving my master's car…. During those early months, when there was a warrant for my arrest and I was being pursued by the police, my outlaw existence caught the imagination of the press. Articles claiming that I had been here and there were on the front pages. Roadblocks were instituted all over the country, but the police repeatedly came up empty-handed. I was dubbed the Black Pimpernel, a somewhat derogatory adaptation of Baroness Orczy's fictional character the Scarlet Pimpernel, who daringly evaded capture during the French Revolution."




When we think of oppression and Apartheid today, we obviously think of the continuing and illegal occupation of Palestine by Israel and Mandela saw this ongoing human rights affront clearly ~ as seen in these excerpts from his memo to Israeli apologist Thomas Friedman in March of 2001:  http://www.keghart.com/Mandela-Palestine

Dear Thomas,
I know that you and I long for peace in the Middle East, but before you continue to talk about necessary conditions from an Israeli perspective, you need to know what’s on my mind. Where to begin? How about 1964. Palestinians are not struggling for a “state” but for freedom, liberation and equality, just like we were struggling for freedom in South Africa. Let me quote my own words during my trial. They are true today as they were then: “I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” Today the world, black and white, recognize that Apartheid has no future. In South Africa it has been ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security. That mass campaign of defiance and other actions could only culminate in the establishment of Democracy…Thomas, if you follow the polls in Israel for the last 30 or 40 years, you clearly find a vulgar racism that includes a third of the population who openly declare themselves to be racist. This racism is of the nature of “I hate Arabs” and “I wish Arabs would be dead”… Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children…. Thomas, I’m not abandoning Mideast diplomacy. But I’m not going to indulge you the way your supporters do. If you want peace and democracy, I will support you. If you want formal Apartheid, we will not support you. If you want to support racial discrimination and ethnic cleansing, we will oppose you ~ When you figure out what you’re about, give me a call."


And that's what Mandela would defiantly be saying now to Secretary  of State John Kerry as Kerry tells the oppressed, battered and occupied Palestinians they better hurry up and settle for peace and formal apartheid, while Israel defiantly announces it will build 1200 new homes, for Jews only, on occupied Palestinian land. 
This is blatant Israeli colonialization and U.S. blackmail ~ while the world continues to ignore and condone the kabuki theater of the current Middle East Peace Talks.

Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela, the courageous Black Pimpernel, has conquered fear and in the process has become a beacon of light to a world that is still blindly groping for its moral bearings. 

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”   ~ Nelson Mandela

JIMMY CARTER / AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS TRUTH TELLER AND MORAL REVOLUTIONIST













2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner and Former President Jimmy Carter is America's most famous truth teller and moral revolutionist. Carter recently declared that "The U.S has no functioning Democracy" which did not appear in American mainstream press; Carter rightfully defends NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden actions declaring that "the invasion of human rights and American privacy has gone too far" and finally Carter still correctly argues argues that "Israel's continued control and colonization of Palestine land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Middle East." ~ and yet Jimmy Carter continues to be ostracized by the global elite and main stream press who obviously deeply fear his revolutionary moral truths: Allen L Roland


Only the truth is revolutionary and with that in mind, former president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter is our most famous living truth teller and moral revolutionist ~ who continues to gnaw at the collective conscience of a spiritually faltering America with his penetrating truths, which are based on universal moral principles of equality, fairness and justice.

Carter's most famous speech is his Crisis of Confidence or Spiritual Malaise speech on July 15. 1979 which was deeply prophetic of future unfolding events which have led us to our present morally deteriorated state ~ see 2 minute video of excerpts ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lHplhMChZQ

Here's excerpts of Carter's exact works on the moral apathy which was already beginning to grip our nation ~ "Our people are losing that faith, not only in government itself but in the ability as citizens to serve as the ultimate rulers and shapers of our democracy. As a people we know our past and we are proud of it. Our progress has been part of the living history of America, even the world. We always believed that we were part of a great movement of humanity itself called democracy, involved in the search for freedom, and that belief has always strengthened us in our purpose. But just as we are losing our confidence in the future, we are also beginning to close the door on our past….But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose…. The symptoms of this crisis of the American spirit are all around us. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next 5 years will be worse than the past 5 years. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote. The productivity of American workers is actually dropping, and the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world."

Jimmy Carter is a global moral force and trouble shooter for fairness and justice who gives living truth to these words by William James ~ words which also happen to be an inspiration for myself ~ "I am done with great things and big things and great institutions and big successes, and I am for those tiny invisible molecular forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets or like the capillary oozing water, yet which, if you give them time, will bend the hardest monuments of human pride"

Here are some famous Jimmy Carter quotes which give ample evidence of his moral courage;




"I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts."  Jimmy Carter

So it gives me great comfort to watch Jimmy Carter continue to weave his moral magic throughout the world oblivious to the snickers and silence from the main stream media and global elite ~ but true to his deep sense of moral truth and justice as well as his willingness to deal with controversial issues. A great example is his book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, as well as his current defense of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, shared at a closed door meeting of Atlantic Bridge, and reported by the German newspaper Der Spiegel but ignored by America media outlets ~ and only accessed through the alternative press:  

"The English translation of Carter's remarks was published in the online news source Inquisitr.com. No American media outlets reported on the closed meeting and it was not clear where Der Spiegel got its information, Inquisitr noted. But both Inquisitr and Huffington Post, which also carried the story, noted that the quotes were consistent with previous published remarks by the former president.
In June, Huffington Post noted, Carter addressed the Snowden controversy in an interview with CNN after the 29-year-old intelligence analyst had flown from Hong Kong to Moscow in his quest for asylum from the U.S. government that is seeking to prosecute him for espionage and theft of government property. "He's obviously violated the laws of America, for which he's responsible," Carter said at that time, "but I think the invasion of human rights and American privacy has gone too far." The Georgia Democrat also said nations that were offering asylum to Snowden were acting within their rights. "I think that the secrecy that has been surrounding this invasion of privacy has been excessive, so I think that the bringing of it to the public notice has probably been, in the long term, beneficial," Carter said. See Article ~ http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/16043-jimmy-carter-defends-snowden-says-u-s-has-no-functioning-democracy


How refreshing it is to experience a modern day American president, or in this case former president, who is actually walking his talk.
