A New Article by William Hanna about Genocide in Palestine
Hi all,
the editorial team of ProMosaik e.V. is happy to present a second article by the author William Hanna about Palestine and the genocide by Israel. Zionism is the opposite of Judaism sanctifying life. As we also affirmed many times the state of Israel and its barbaric way of acting, its military glorification of violence and racism, have absolutely nothing to do with the religion of Judaism which stands for life and human dignity.
This genocide started years ago, and the Western world is still silent… even if after the Holocaust all said: no to racism, no to apartheid, no to war, no to genocide… never again…
where is this never again for the Middle East?
thanks for commenting this article and send it to your friends

Following the World War Two Jewish Holocaust (6 million
Jews murdered) and the general Holocaust death toll of more than 30 million,
well-intentioned vows of “zero tolerance for racism” and “never again to
anyone” were made and quickly forgotten. The first victims of this postwar
universal forgetfulness were the Palestinians whose homeland, heritage,
history, and human rights as a people was — without their consent — given as
compensation to displaced Jews in Europe by Western nations who did not want
them.

universal forgetfulness were the Palestinians whose homeland, heritage,

compensation to displaced Jews in Europe by Western nations who did not want

The result of this Western generosity at the expense of
the Palestinian people has seen the displacement of some 7 million Palestinians
who are virtual prisoners in either scattered refugee camps (Jordan, Lebanon,
Syria, Iraq and Egypt) or in what are in effect still Israeli occupied
territories (open prisons) such as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank where they
are subject to a racist genocidal horror at the hands of a people whose Talmud
— containing the teachings and opinions of thousands of rabbis on a variety of
subjects including Jewish ethics — categorically states that the supreme
sanctity of all human life is pertinent to man’s place in the universe: “He who
saves one life . . . is as if he saves an entire universe. He who destroys a
life . . . is as if he destroys an entire universe.” (Mishnah, Sanhedrin 4:5).
All law, civil and religious, has as its purpose the promotion of human life,
and when it ceases to serve that end it becomes obsolete and is superseded.

Despite that particular Judaic commitment to the
sanctity of human life and numerous other equally noble Judaic sentiments, the
international community has yet again been an inactive witness to the
mind-boggling sadistic savagery of a “God Chosen People” deranged by extreme
racist hate and motivated by an uncontrollable genocidal lust. Last month
Israeli lawmaker Ayelet Shaked declared that “the entire Palestinian people is
the enemy” and called for its destruction “including its elderly and its women,
its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure.” Not to be
outdone, Moshe Feiglin the deputy speaker of the Knesset — and member of Prime
Minister “Mad” Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party — has this month called
for the total destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza with a detailed
plan including the use of concentration camps and “conquest of the entire Gaza
Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters . . . This
is our country — our country exclusively, including Gaza.”

Such unmistakable incitements to genocide are
punishable crimes under the Genocide Convention — deposited and ratified by
Israel in 1950 and available in Hebrew — of which Article III states that the
following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit
genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to
commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide. So apart from the international
community’s irresponsible and cowardly failure to enforce the Genocide
Convention against Israel (tantamount to complicity), there is also the obvious
contradiction between noble Judaic principles and values and Apartheid Israel’s
Zionist penchant for committing crimes against humanity which suggests that all
is not well within the Judaeo-Zionist relationship. While not all Jews are
happy with Israel’s abominable behaviour, it would nonetheless appear that the
majority are not only in agreement with such criminal conduct — either though
their silence or active support — but are also fully aware of their own
complicity which they don like a Star of David badge of honour.

Such an apparent lack of Judaic conscience over the
barbaric Israeli crimes being repeatedly committed against the Palestinian
people serves as a powerful indication that an ancient Talmudic assertion has
finally come to pass with Judaism slowly becoming obsolete while being
superseded by a violent, Palestinian land-grabbing Zionist ideology. Jews have
to be brutally honest with themselves by admitting that they cannot claim to be
observing the Social Ethics in the Talmud while simultaneously tolerating the
Zionist atrocities being committed in their name. They simply cannot have it
both ways. They have to realise values of Judaism are not compatible with
Zionism.

Apart from the above called-for admission, Jewish
people must also recognise that they, more than anyone else, have the means for
resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a matter of days. They have the
resourcefulness, they have the worldwide financial resources, and they have the
onerous responsibility to Judaism which includes respect for the rest of
humanity. Jews everywhere — and especially those in America — have to make it
categorically clear to Israel’s savage and deranged Zionists that all Jewish
support — financial and otherwise — will cease unless Israel immediately stops
disregarding international law; stops its non-compliance with the Declaration
of Human Rights; stops rebuffing all UN Resolutions starting with the November
1947 Resolution 181 calling for the creation of independent Arab and Israeli
states, and ending with the March 2012 Resolution 66/225 relating to Permanent
sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
including East Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian
Golan over their natural resources; and stops refusing to withdraw to within
the essential borders of 1967.

General Matityahu Peled, Ha’aretz, 19 March 1972.
In 1967 Israel not only launched yet another unprovoked
attack against its Arab neighbours, but it also with its usual duplicitous
nature cold-bloodedly attacked its benefactor (the U.S.) in a false flag
operation that came to be known as the USS Liberty incident which illustrated
that there is nothing that Zionist Israel will not resort to against its
friends as well as its enemies in order to serve its own selfish purposes. Can
Jews and Judaism honestly justify either their support for, or toleration of
such a barbarous, war criminal state? While Israel may be able (with
iniquitous support from the world’s foremost war criminal nation the U.S.) to
contemptuously ignore condemnation by the rest of the world, it would not be
able to ignore the the universal condemnation of the Jewish people it claims to
represent.
