The Conspiracy of Silence must be broken!

The Palestinian Conflict has almost disappeared from
the headlines with the added tragedy that it is regarded in media and political
circles as being “unsolvable” and consequently something to be ignored. Occasionally
a not too critical article – almost apologetic – will appear with careful
avoidance of anything that may offend the Jewish lobby and its friends.
Meanwhile in the illegally occupied Palestinian Territories the Palestinian
people’s hope for freedom and a state of their own remains an unachievable
dream.
While the daily expansion of new settlements is
facilitated by Apartheid legislation whose brutal oppression violates all
democratic principles, the Netanyahu regime can more than ever before safely relax
with its Zionist smugness.
This is because the world community is too occupied in
disguising the provision of arms and participation in illegal wars as being
necessary and a blessing for humanity. While the EU is fast crumbling and
becoming a populist time bomb fused with differences, Merkel and her colleagues
have lost all sense of reality. This Chancellor – who always holds her “values”
like a shield – has made no effort, not even a token gesture, to justly solve
the Palestinian conflict. Such shameful inaction is also shared by party
colleagues from the German Social Party (SPD), the Green Party and the Left who
routinely submit to the interests of the Israel Lobby.
While Merkel presents herself as alternative-less
leader of the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and chancellor, the
Middle East with its debris and ash is abandoned by a German Government intent
on avoiding its obligation to support Palestine in its struggle against the injustice
of the occupation.
Anti-Semitism has long since been replaced by philo-Semitism
which is a more than dangerous phenomenon. A recent example of this occurred in
Greece where the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, Steinmeier — choking
with emotion — was made an Honoured Member of the Jewish Community of
Thessaloniki. In fact, there have been numerous “Jewish” awards and honours for
German politicians. This is the way Israel buys “friends” who then remain
silent as gutless and complicit observers of the Jewish state’s crimes against
humanity.
Even worse, is the fact that any criticism of
Israel is labelled as “anti-Semitic” so that Germany has become a paradise of philo-Semitism.
There is, however, a ray of hope because Volker Beck – having a sense of mission
as “main philo-Semite” – was penalised by his colleagues in the Green Party who
refused to give him a place on the list for the German Parliament despite his
having the support of prominent Jews including Dieter Graumann, the ex-President
of the Central Council of German Jews, the current President Josef Schuster, and
Andreas Nachama of the Foundation Topographie des Terrors (Topography of Terror).
Before the “Leo Baeck” prize winner and Talmud devoted Beck discovered the usefulness
of  philo-Semitism, he wrote an essay published
in an anthology published in 1988 that called for the “de-criminalisation of
paedophilia.” This fact, however, was of no consequence for the supporters of
this VIP. The same applied to his drug story which was shelved after he paid a 7000
Euro fine. Beck is currently sitting on his morally high throne while not
shrinking from defamation against my dead friend Walter Herrmann and the Kölner
Klagemauer
.
It is shameful how German politicians go out of
their way to provide support for the Jewish state of occupation; how the German
media is complicit by not reporting the occupation crimes committed daily; and
how the conspiracy of silence, continuous in the face of the Jewish state’s repression
which includes measures against women, children, young people, and even
journalists! There is no sense in arguing about this because in Germany this grave
situation will not change as has been repeatedly confirmed by my friend Ilan
Pappe.
During this Advent season it should perhaps be
an incentive for “Zionist Christians” such as Merkel and Co. to think about the
Christians and Muslims in Palestine who are denied their religious freedom by
the Jewish occupiers.
Time is running and as the “Jewish State” –
which has never intended having a “Two-State-Solution” other than as an
illusion – continues with the ethnic cleansing so as create conditions that
will make the illegal settlements permanent. This also concerns the illegally
occupied Golan Heights, conquered by the “Jewish Defence Army” in 1967 and
which Israel declared a closed military zone thereby preventing some 100.000 displaced
former inhabitants from returning to their native villages.
Even the Syrian Civil War has proved to be advantageous
for the Jewish occupiers who feel free to indulge themselves with occasional
air strikes because the perception persists that anything Israel does is
acceptable, while token Palestinian resistance against an unjust and barbarous
persecution is regarded as terrorism.
It is therefore understandable that they try to
hide both the expulsion of more than 700.000 indigenous Palestinians during the
Nakba which led to the establishment “Jewish State,” and the subsequent
displacements in the Golan Heights because there is nothing that the “Jewish
State” fears more than the truth. Consequently, it is of vital importance the Nakba
is publicised throughout Germany as an important contemporary historical
document!
Since 2011, the so-called “Palestinian Papers” have
revealed that the Palestinian Leadership, the “Vichy Abbas” Authority, was
ready to make extensive scandalous concessions such as for example wanting to renounce
East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian State and the legal right of
Palestinians to return.
Those secret protocols definitively proved that
Israel has never wanted a peace that would require giving back the illegally
occupied territories to the indigenous population and the self-abasing the
Palestinian Authority. The “Jewish State“ will not be satisfied until it has
all of it which will happen as the illegal settlement is extended and made
permanent with courtesy of financial support for the illegal occupation, and
reduced pressure from the U.S. and the EU for an end to settlement expansion.
As a consequence, there is no reason why the “Jewish
State” should start the peace process while the Abbas System can be maintained
in a “Utopian State,” wooed by the world community as “moderate leadership.”
There is nothing that is better suited for the Jewish occupation power. We recently
witnessed the Abbas show, when 1400 representatives re-elected him without there
being any democratic elections, either under the Jewish occupation power or
under the Abbas Regime because both know that the “twilight of the Gods” would then
come. The young people who have been for decades rebelling against the betrayal
of this old guard and the lethargy of their parents, are unfortunately the main
victims
Consequently the only realistic option available
is resistance against the all-powerful occupation, condemnation of Israel by
all responsible citizens, and support for the BDS movement.
While here in Germany and Europe everyone warns
against right-wing populists, in the Jewish State right-wing fascists are left
undisturbed to complete the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in accordance with
the “Christian-Jewish” values of this alliance of mendacious hypocrites. The conspiracy
of silence over the illegal occupation of Palestine is a complicit violation of
international law that must be broken. Have courage! Let us be indignant in the
struggle against the illegal occupation and for a Free Palestine!
