WHY DOES GREAT BRITAIN ESPECIALLY HAMMER ISRAEL WITH FRAUDULENT PROPAGANDISTIC NOMENCLATURE SUCH AS "ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED" AND "ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS"?

FOR A NATION THAT PUBLICLY SPEAKS OF ITSELF AS ISRAEL'S "ALLY", BRITAIN CALLS TO THE JEWISH MIND THE APHORISM, "WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?" THE SAME CAN BE ESPECIALLY SAID OF EUROPE TODAY AND OF MUCH OF THE WORLD AND CERTAINLY OF HILLARY CLINTON, JOSEPH BIDEN, AND PRESIDENT OBAMA. BUT, WHAT IS IT, THAT MAKES THE VITRIOL OF THE BRITISH SO UNRELENTING, WAR-LIKE, MEGALOMANIACAL, AND PUZZLING?

It was not so long ago historically that Britain occupied what it chose to call "Palestine" after the name "Syria Palestina" given to that part of the world by the Romans during Rome's Middle East occupation. The British extended the term to apply to the territory eastwards of the Jordan River, which territory it referred to as "Transjordan". The British won this territory during WW1 [World War 1] by defeating the Syrians and Turks, who were allied with Germany. The underlying conflict was largely about oil supply for the war and long term oil rights in general in addition to the customary violence pertaining to political spheres of influence.

The British like to see themselves as being on the forefront of the historical fight for freedom, liberation, and liberty. Other nations tend to see them as elitists and imperialists. To be sure, the truth encompasses both aspects. Even the British, with their reputation for coldness and correctness, achieving at times an emotionless mechanical quality coupled with talent for great thespianism (witness Parliament), do actually have feelings and emotions like other people do. One suspects that the great bombing of London by the Germans during the early stages of WW2 (World War 2) may have had more than a little to do with the stereotypical subdued personality of Britain. One suspects as well that such phenomenon as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Animals, Monty Python, and "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Are You Being Served" are all representative of the once and great Empire that was Britain, struggling to be itself again after the great bombing of London and all that the British suffered during WW2.

Whether as imperialist or as grand patriarch reticent to leave the "children" on their own, the British cannot have felt thrilled to have been targeted by their "Jewish" and "Arab" children for guerilla warfare bent on freedom and independence. However pernicious and inhibiting BRITISH OCCUPATION may have felt to the Jews and the Arabs, the British Patriarchy must have thought and represented their hegemony to be for the regional good and for the good of the Peoples within, however evolutionarily backwards the Brits may have regarded those Peoples to be.

Anyone, who has ever freed a trapped animal, knows that he or she must protect him or her self from the flailing and rage of the animal while it is trapped, and then from the possible venting of that rage on anything or anyone nearby, once that animal has gained it's freedom. Any parent knows that at some point a child has to grow up -- preferably on his or her own and out of the house. The troubles of an occupier are that an occupier rarely has the good instinct of a human freeing an animal, who knows when and how to set that animal free without getting into conflict with it, and an occupier tends to think of that which is occupied as Home of the Occupier. A parent may kick a child out of the house or give the house to the child; but, it is the right of the parent to choose and execute, not the other way around.

So, how dare these backwards, retrograde "Peoples" -- these Jews, these Arabs -- kick the Brits out of their "Home"! And, how dare these "Peoples" have such respective power today, even be they enemies! The Arabs with all their oil, the Jews with their spiritual and military might! How dare they challenge the Enlightenment brought to them and to the World by Great Britain! By Europe! By the USA!

So, segway to Palestine. The Brits know that the Arabs want to kick the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. All the world knows that the Arabs want to kick the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. The Brits know that there was never a People called "Palestinians" and never a State called "Palestine" and that it is completely a fabrication of British foreign policy to do so -- as does the rest of the world know this. The Brits know that Israel, as a political entity, has an identity going back thousands of years, including more than two-thousand years of foreign occupation. It was Israel that decisively motivated Britain to depart from it's occupation of the Holy Land after the close of WW2. So, revendfully, Britain targets Israel -- with it's BBC propaganda machine most especially -- framing Israel as "illegal occupier".

Use by the BBC of such loaded and biased nomenclature as: "Palestine" to refer to a non-existent state of [militant] Arabs, "settler" to refer to Jews building homes in their homeland [e.g. Jerusalem], "illegal settlers" to refer to Jews building homes in their historical homeland [e.g. Judea-Samaria], "illegal occupation" to refer to the presence of the Israeli military wherever there is disputed territory and wherever in those territories the Israeli military presence is essential for Israeli self-defense and for maintaining peace between the various Arab factions and for maintaining law and order -- all of that responsible Israeli behavior is derided and decried by the British, and one tool for this is the unrelenting use of fraudulent language to bully Israel with propaganda.

In their misguided vindictiveness the British pound and hammer Israel with propaganda, day after day, year after year, conducting their own "propaganda bombing" campaign against Israel analogous to the bombing Britain received from Hitler's Luftwaffe! Is it possible that the British tacitly think in the irrational mode that somehow, were it not for the Jews, that the bombing of London might never have happened? Is it possible, however ironically, that after sixty-years of freedom from the Nazis, that now the British are behaving like freed animals, lashing out at their most vulnerable ally and indirect liberator, Israel?

Indeed the media is replete with the idea that somehow "peace" in Israel between the Jews and the Arabs would be like oil on the troubled waters of other Arab or other Muslim nations at war! There is ugly anti-semitism behind such thinking, not merely the historical record of war and terror from Africa and the Middle East all the way to Asia, East Asia, and Indonesia, and from Arabia into Europe and across the Atlantic to the USA; there is also great strategic stupidity in such thinking.

Media fraud to propagandize against Israel by the British must not go unnoticed and must not be ignored by the British justice system, by the court of world opinion, and by an appropriate world court, even the Hague, if such an appropriate world court exists. This is not only true of Britain, it is also true in the media of Europe as a whole, as in these times Britain and Europe seek to rid themselves of the guilt of their own history by once again using the Jews as Scapegoat, by waging media wars of propaganda and fraud against Israel.

It is legitimate for the media to report activities that occur in "disputed territories;" it is illegitimate to refer to the disputed territories as "illegally occupied" or "illegally settled". It is legitimate to refer to the building of homes for Jews -- if such building is indeed within the confines of the Arab East Jerusalem -- as occurring within Arab East Jerusalem or the Arab Quarter of Jerusalem; it is illegitimate to refer to the Arab Quarter as "illegally occupied East Jerusalem. And so on, when reporting on such disputed territories as Sheba Farms, the Golan, Judea-Samaria [the "West Bank"], and Gaza.

And, there is a real occupation that ought to be addressed immediately by the world. It is the occupation of the soul of Gilad Shalit, 1,372 days captive today by Hamas, Hamas being Arab descendants of Arab allies to the Nazis. Today is DAY 1,372 of captivity for once young Gilad Shalit. Tomorrow is Erev Pesach, the day before Pesach [Passover]. Britain holds the power of persuasion to see to the freeing of Gilad Shalit by Hamas immediately.

Britain, your lands are already infested with crickets of Muslims, your population flows with the living blood of millions of Muslims, your airwaves croak like millions of frogs.... Britain, turn back from your Evil, lest you suffer the full wrath of The Miracle Plagues of The Almighty!

Free Gilad Shalit so that he may celebrate Pesach with his family in his home in Israel! Let Gilad Shalit go!

"PROPORTIONALITY" IN WAR AND PEACE

Time and time again Israel is accused of the use of disproportionate violence. Reality and perception are not always the same thing. The BBC and SKY Communications have been accused recently of what might be called the "disproportionate use of objectivity" in reporting. Here too there is a non-trivial distinction to be made between reality and perception.

As a consequence of the recent warfare between Israel and Gaza, approximately one Arab of Gaza is dead for every ten Qassam rockets that these same Gazan Arabs launched into Israel provoking Israel's response. A third of the dead Gazan Arabs may be civillian dead, undesired yet inevitable collateral damage of war. Many of these dead civilillians voted for Hamas, and therefore cannot be said to be innocents, as the overt platform of Hamas calls for the annihilation of Israel.

One must ask: "When your next door neighbor is hell bent on waging war against you to the point of your annihilation, and terrorizes you daily towards that end, is there such an applicable concept as 'proportionate' force?"

One must ask as well: "At what point is the world itself culpable, when it lends it's hand, it's heart, it's mind, and it's resources to the reconstruction and 'humanitarian' aid, re-vitalization and re-arming that evil neighbor, therefore DE FACTO and even DE JURE showing favor to your terrorist neighbor, that same neighbor who denies your humanity and your existential right to a peaceful co-existence?"

If anything is to be said about the BBC and world media coverage of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, it is that the plaints of the Arabs have been disproportionately elevated and extolled to the level of a worldwide propaganda campaign against Israel. Only recently has the media even begun to publish occasional stories both recent and historical that pierce the ballooning of worldwide anti-Israel propaganda. We only begin to hear in the media about the mass expulsions of Jews from Muslim nations post-WW2. We only begin to hear about the Arab-Hitler alliances of WW2 that included the Arabs of Palestine, who continued Hitler's war against the Jews by seeking to destroy Israel both before and after it's legal existence. Holocaust denial is now a weekly scandal in the news, most recently given attention by the Pope's decision this past week to revoke the excommunications of certain priests, one of whom is a blatant Holocaust denier. And where Holocaust deniers have been screaming that six-million Jews were not murdered by the Nazis, in the past year mass graves of Jews in areas such as the Ukraine have been uncovered; it is estimated that perhaps an additional 1.5-million Jewish souls must be added to the six-million already accounted for.

Are the BBC and SKY being disproportionately objective in choosing not to air the Appeal for humanitarian aid for the Arabs of Gaza, when both BBC and SKY have determined that that Appeal is biased against Israel? Probably not...
