Math. 6:2,5,16: Beware of hypocrites.
Those who come to me, and tell me they own the sound reasoning I will distrust. A qualification is something you earn by behaving good, not by hijacking some label. In his book about the history of Jewish anti-Zionism, Yakov Rabkin explains how the Zionists hijacked the Jewish identity, and turned it into the opposite. We should beware for hypocrites each day. For example, when the so called ‘Jewish’ Chronicle, a British newspaper, reported on her website the ‘Jewish’ board of directors asked the minister in charge to deny access to Great Britain to ‘the former Hizbullah-fighter’ and leader of a group of ‘radical Muslims’. These kind of people gave a standing ovation to Geert Wilders in Jerusalem of all places. At least the ‘Israeli’ newspaper ‘The Haaretz’ was so kind to inform us on that.
Sound reasoning at least requires some honesty, and in my experience Zionists consider honesty to be for ‘crazy’ people. I looked up a few things. The word Israel means ‘prince of G-d’, or if it is a place, there where G-d rules. I don’t see much of the ruling of G-d in the Zionist ’state’. Nothing made more obvious that G-d died in that particular part of the world, when the Zionist government started to shell Gaza, a place so densely populated it is almost impossible to drop a bomb without hurting human beings. The reason being Hamas threw chimney pipes towards ‘Israel’. What a shame. Throwing chimney pipes on the place where G-d rules. If I were a moron I would be shocked by such a blasphemy. But why does the Zionist regime so desperately want to avoid the question why the people in the concentration camp of Gaza are throwing ‘rockets’? The answer is in the book of Yakov Rabkin. The genuine Jewish people made serious efforts to acquire an honest agreement with the Palestinians, right from the start in the second half of the nineteenth century. The Arab Muslims we now call Palestinians were very hospitable towards the Jewish immigrants at first. The first opposition to Zionism came from the local Jews. Only after they saw how the likes of Liberman today, preached hatred, things deteriorated.
Herbert Pagani said: “Je suis un Palestinien d’il y 2000 ans.” Part of the Jewish people may be seeing it that way, but then why do they support the Zionists who base their rhetoric, and policy on a number of anti-Semitic premises? Why do the Jews submit themselves to Zionists? Why do Jews allow the abuse of the holocaust for the individual needs of a bunch of politicians? Why do Jews allow the hijacking of their identity to commit crimes? I also looked up the meaning of the word Jehuda. Jehuda means ‘the G-d fearing/praising’, the wise, the praised the admired. The first thing that comes to my mind is: “I can see why people have been so jealous”. And it also is obvious why there are people who are keen on robbing the label. It’s like ‘Gezond Verstand’ above.
This brings me to another article on ‘Joods Actueel’. The one about ‘Who is a Jew?’ The most conflicting kind of ‘Jew’ was ‘Francine’ (nickname). This person (you never know if they are male or female) said Judaism could be summarized in one sentence: “Never do to your fellow man, what you do not want to be done to you.” But all I ever saw of that person was he/she was preaching hatred towards Muslims. Now, please tell me how the golden rule can be compatible with hatred for Muslims, because that is beyond my intellectual capacity. Since Jehuda means ‘the G-d praising’, and as a symbol for that Jews wear a kippah, please let the people who call themselves ‘Sound Reasoning’ explain to me what is so ‘G-d praising’ in hatred for Muslims. I don’t understand that. When I was a child on the village square of Haacht, before the church, there was a large board saying: “God is love”. When did G-d turn into hatred? I think I must have missed something, because I still am convinced G-d means love, among other things. But hatred certainly is not among them.
And when in Jerusalem, the place where Judaism/wisdom once thrived, and from where the Jews were expelled 2000 years ago, Geert Wilders receives a standing ovation I can feel in my little toe something is not right. What will ‘Gezond Verstand’ advise me, cutting off my little toe perhaps?

Impressive message on an impressive initiative from the Stop The War Coalition, the biggest antiwar movement in the world. I hope the belgian anti-war movement will organise similar initiatives with representatives of the resistance in the future.

Amaai, Edith, dank zij uw litanie weet ik nu eindelijk wie ik ben. En ik hoefde er niet meer dan vier woordjes voor te plaatsen, om dat resultaat te bereiken. Eeuwige dank. Die eeuwige dank behoeft overigens niet opnieuw een litanie hoor. Maar hou het voortaan graag niet te persoonlijk. Daarvoor is deze reactiemodule niet bedoeld en de beheerder ervan ziet het ook zo. Persoonlijke aanvallen lokken dan immers een persoonlijke reactie uit en op den duur wijkt men te veel af van het onderwerp en vecht men een belachelijke vete rond gekrenkte ego’s uit: de ziekte van véél weblogs en reactiemodules. Probeer achter iemand anders zijn posting ook een keer iets anders te zien dan een mens die in uw ogen niet MAG deugen. Ik ben er namelijk niet op uit een label te roven.
Mijn bedoeling was met “nobody is a hero”, mensen ervoor te behoeden van de beheerder van deze webstek onrealistische verwachtingen te hebben. Of de tijd komt snel waarop u uw held even snel verguisd zult hebben als u hem de hemel hebt ingeprezen.

I heard Dyab Abu Jahjah say:
“The imperialists are defeated in Irak by the resistance in Irak…
Then they try, by using the zionist state, to destroy the resistance in Lebanon…
In 2006, the Americans and the zionists received the hardest defeate in the history of the Arabic Homeland…
Recently…by attacking a little piece of land under occupation since 1948…they failed..they were defeated again…because they couldn’t not get their political goal…
Today in 2009 imperialism is defeated…
Here, the people in the west has to realise that the imperialists are defeated.
Obama is not bringing any change….he is the result of the defeat….
I will not asking my friends and comrades in the West to help… but “use us”, use this victory of the resistance to bring this system down, to bring it here (meaning the resistance against imperialism?) because they will regenerate otherwise if you help them through the crisis, they will rebuilding themselves. I want them crawl out of the crisis, I want them fall down the cliff Because that will be bot only the best for ourselves but also for the people of Europe. We need another system because this old system, capitalism, is generating all those problems.”
I think that one can conclude with:
The “left” and “progressive” in Europe must not just raise solidarity with the Palestians, the Irakezes, the Lebanese, the Afghans etc…. .
The BEST solidarity is to mobilise ourselves, European workers, against imperialism, to bring that system down, here in OUR OWN REGION, in Europe!
So we have, in our own interest AND in solidarity with comrade-workers elsewhere in the world (who are already INVOLVED in anti-imperialist struggle themselves, and WITH results!) bring “our own” imperialism in Europe down.
