Tillawi on Ritter on Israel

Beam Me Up Scotty, I’m a Palestinian!
Posted December 20, 2007

“Did you read the latest article by Scott Ritter?” my friend excitedly asked. Not wanting to rain on his parade, nevertheless I was as frank as possible in my answer–“I don’t like political prostitution.” I calmly answered. “What do you mean?” my friend asked, half-surprised and half-not. “I don’t like people going on at length with how much they admire Israel before they critique her.”

As much as I am glad to see him finally seeing and stating the obvious, nevertheless there are a few things I would like to ask Ritter were he here right now, such as “What about the Palestinians Scott?” or “What do you have to say about the Holocaust taking place against them right now, a continuation of what has been going on for the last century? Is that okay with you?”

Let us consider for a moment what Mr. Ritter wrote in his latest article–

“I have for some time now publicly articulated my sympathy and support for the state of Israel, even while criticizing those cases that I believed constituted poor judgment and bad policy.”

Butt Kiss #1. Of course Scott could not start his article with anything less than this, a way of bowing down before America‘s master before pointing out something that is painful yet true.

He continues–”As a weapons inspector I made numerous visits to Israel for the purpose of coordinating with the Israeli intelligence community on matters pertaining to Iraqi WMD.”

Yes, and that is exactly why Saddam did not want you back in Iraq Scott. You knew then how deep the Israelis were in the our government. Why are you waking up to this only now Scotty, to the fact that Israel is no good for the US?

“I was greatly impressed not only with the professionalism of the Israeli intelligence services, but also with the Israeli people and society. During my time in Israel, I was witness to numerous horrific events, including several terrorist bombings and the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The resilience of the people of Israel in absorbing these blows yet continuing to live life to its fullest was remarkable, and worthy of admiration.”

Ok, at the risk of appearing base, nevertheless let me continue in the same vein–

BUTT KISS # 2

Can you name those “horrific” events, the several terrorists bombings you are talking about? I am wondering how many horrific events you can recall that the Palestinians went through while you were enjoying yourself on the streets of Tel Aviv? How many homes were demolished? How many children became orphans, how many wives became widows and how many Palestinians were kidnapped from their homes and taken to Israeli prisons for no fault of their own and who as of yet have not had their day in court? I guarantee you Scott, were you as aware of these items as you were the ‘resilience’ of the Israelis, you would be filled with “admiration” for them too.

“As a firsthand witness to the remarkable vigor of the Israeli state and its people, and as someone who considers himself to be their friend, …”

Kiss…well, never mind, you get the picture–#3.

“The government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has embarked on policies that are questionable at best when one examines them from a purely Israeli standpoint; they are nothing less than a betrayal of the United States when examined from a broader perspective.”

Just the government of Ehud Olmert, Scott????? What about the policies of all Israeli governments, PERIOD? You don’t think they were in control of our White House when they forced (politically, of course) to have our president recognize the “Jewish” state back in 1948 which was contrary to our vital national interest at the time? What about when they torpedoed our USS Liberty and killed our own in cold blooded murder? That was an ‘Okay’ policy with you? You know our President at the time felt like you and said it in plain English, that he DID NOT WANT TO EMBARRASS AN ALLY.

The point is, they were in control back then Scott. Israel controlling the Media and the government here as you implied in your article is not something new brother, its been there, you just chose not to say anything about it–until now of course, when it is safer to do so. You knew it back in the early 90’s when you were fooling around with Iraqi SCUDS. And, by the way, Israel’s role in 9/11 is not yet known to the public because you refuse to mention it in your many articles and speeches. Or maybe the policies of Israel that brought Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, et al were okay, it’s just Olmert’s policies that are really bothering you? Maybe attacking Iraq for Israel and loosing 4000 of our good Americans, killing a million Iraqis and sending 4 million of them into refugee status in Jordan and Syria is an ‘okay’ thing with you. Losing one third of our dollar’s value as a result of all this madness may not be a bad thing, it’s just Olmert that you are having a problem with???

While we are doing some math, let’s consider this–The Arabs are about three hundred millions…The Muslims are a billion and a quarter and all of them would have been consumers of American products, but now because of your friends in Israel we alienated all of them and made them enemies. All this waste, this lost opportunity unprecedented in human history was done just to please Israel and keep our “selected” officials elected. And yet, after all this you maintain that Israel was your friend and if they will just change Olmert’s policies they can go back to being your good friend, something that you would like to see again, as you stated in your article.

And now, bringing it back to what I told my good friend, this is what I term ‘Political Prostitution.’

“The insidious manner in which the current Israeli government has manipulated the domestic political machinery of the United States to produce support for its policies constitutes nothing less than direct interference in the governance of a sovereign state.”

Scott, people reading this will think you have lost your mind. The “Current Israeli government”? Are you saying this problem of manipulating the domestic political machinery only happened by this “current Israeli government”? I think that is what you are saying Scotty. Did you forget JFK and his stand against the Israeli government? He lost his life by the way for that stand. What about when Bush, the father, not the son and the holy ghost, tried to stand in their way and stipulated that they stop building the illegal Jewish settlements on stolen Palestinian land, because it was an ” obstacle” to peace? I still remember Yitzhak Shamir when asked by a TV reporter on the streets of Jerusalem to comment on President GHWB’s decision to withhold the 10 billion dollars in loan guarantees unless Israel stops building the settlements, and he said “I WILL HAVE HIS JOB” and he did. Don’t you think back then they had that manipulation over our Media, Government, and our Money?

“The degree to which the current Israeli government has succeeded in this regard can be tracked not only by the words and actions of the administration of President George W. Bush and the American Congress, but also by the extent to which a pro-Israel lexicon has taken hold within the mainstream media of the United States. Witness the pro-Israel bias displayed when discussing the situation in southern Lebanon, the air strike in Syria, or the Iranian situation, and the retarding of any effort toward a responsible discussion of anything dealing with Israel becomes apparent.”

My friend you forgot to mention the Palestinians. THE PALESTINIANS SCOTT, YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THEM. The Media has been wrong on the Palestinian issues too. They were able to make the victim look like the oppressor and the oppressor look like the victim. You yourself eluded to that. It’s been there Scott, and this is just another example of what I call ‘political prostitution.’

“One would expect such efforts to shape the domestic public opinion of a state deemed hostile, but when the target of these Israeli actions is its ostensible best friend, one must begin to question whether or not the friendship is a one-way street. And if this is indeed the case, then perhaps it is time for the United States to reconsider its decades-old policy of strategic partnership with Israel.”

Poor Scott, he really thinks it’s as easy as that. If it was that easy, the Palestinians would have been free a long time ago. It is an OCCUPATION Scott, not a relationship or ‘friendship’. Just ask the Palestinians about that relationship, they will tell you that anything short of an armed struggle will not free them from the “relationship” with Israel

At the risk of appearing condescending, let me make it easy for you to understand, since you obviously are at a serious disadvantage here…

Once upon a time, the Palestinians were free people living on their land in peace and harmony…Then came the Israelis who occupied them militarily. Once upon a time there was a free nation called the United States of America, living free on the land, and, like what happened to the Palestinians, along came the Israelis and occupied them politically. I came from the land occupied by Israel to the land of the ‘free and the brave’ that turned out to be occupied by Israel too.

“It must be understood that the government of Ehud Olmert is acting in a post-9/11 environment, with considerable facilitators in the administration of President Bush, including the vice president. These two factors combine to create a cycle of ennoblement that allows a purely Israeli point of view to dominate American policy.”

Again, I don’t want to beat a dead horse to death, if you don’t like Bush Administration, just look back at Clinton’s.

“If the Israeli point of view were built on logic, compassion, and the rule of law, then this tilt would not constitute a problem.”

In your opinion, the Israeli point of view is built on “logic, compassion, and the rule of law” when dealing with the Palestinians. If this is your definition of logic, compassion and rule of law, then I would hate to see what you think are the opposites.

Israel, the only country to violate many UN resolutions demanding her to leave the Palestinian areas, release Palestinian prisoners, stop killing innocent civilians, return the Palestinian refugees back to their lands, and tear down the Apartheid wall is all the product of her ‘compassion, logic, and the rule of law?’ I guess now you will call Israel’s killing of Palestinian children, a compassionate killing. Let us have mercy on these starving, homeless Palestinians and help them get rid of this horrible life they are under by exterminating them. What book are you using for definitions on these words, the Complete Ariel Sharon Annotated Dictionary of Zionist Doublespeak? What compassion are you talking about? It’s a Holocaust Scott, worse than the one you mentioned in your article. You see Scott, that one, the one that we hear about EVERY DAMN MINUTE OF EVERY DAMN DAY we don’t really have the full story on that one, but this one involving the Palestinian Christians and Muslims is taking place before our eyes EVERY DAMN MINUTE OF EVERY DAMN DAY. ‘Never again’ you say? Give us all a break–It’s happening, over and over AND OVER AND OVER, again and again, in Palestine, in Lebanon, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Sudan, in Somalia, and many other places. Same bullets, same plans, less outrage and less tears.

“If Israel decides it wants to be our friend, then it will change its behavior accordingly. Absent this, America has no choice but to declare its independence from a relationship that has destroyed our credibility around the world and drags us dangerously down the path toward another irresponsible military misadventure in the Middle East.”

Again, I hate to rain on your parade Scotty, but just a mere ‘declaration of independence’ won’t do it buddy. The Palestinians learned that hard lesson a long time ago. If you really want to liberate America from Israel, nothing short of another American Revolution will suffice. America did not get its independence from England just by declaring it, it earned it by fighting for it, and by the way, England at the time had given us more freedom to govern and did not take as much of our resources as Israel does today. If our independence back then was worth the sacrifice, then our independence now is well worth it also.

You’re late coming to these conclusions Scott, just like many others whom we have allowed to steer the ship of state. I want to give credit where credit is due, but your latest ‘declaration’ is nothing short of being in the middle of hurricane Katrina as it is blowing everything to bits and saying, “Hey, we have a real mess on our hands here” when the rest of us were sounding the alarms much earlier.

Nevertheless, I suppose we should be grateful for every hand on deck, even if they do show up late when the Captain gives the call for battle stations, and in that spirit perhaps we should just end this piece by saying ‘better be late than never.’

Spot on Mr. Tillawi.

What a fricking joke!
“During my time in Israel, I was witness to numerous horrific events, including several terrorist bombings and the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin”
Rabin was assassianted by a ultra settler Jew not a Palestinian, the doublespeak just boggles the mind.
Thank you Hesham-great article.

Mal HUGHES on December 20, 2007
Thank you for a very well reseached and written article. If it wasn’t for the internet, no ordinary people would have any idea of what is really going on, on planet Earth.

Mr. B.M. Phillips on December 20, 2007
Historical persecution and tradedy should never deflect from present day criticism “which is referenced”. Sadly, the Jewish people have done their own dirty deeds in history(Genocide of 1 1/2 million Christian Turks) so do not posess any high moral high ground that exludes them from referenced public criticism. Whats important to me, anytime someone criticises the Jewish people is to read the references and put the pieces of the argument together using the the references. “Max”

Matthew Moriarty on December 20, 2007
An absolutely trenchant analysis of an otherwise slippery eel. Admire Israel? What on earth for? Apparently, the vicious and relentless attack by Israel on the USS Liberty means little to Mr. Ritter either.

Jews did 911 and all world wars.

See if the crypto-Jew censors this.
Failure to name the Jews as the cause behind 911 is to be complcit in the crimes of the Jews.

Hesham,

You’re correct on all counts. Ritter uses kid gloves on Israel. His point has always been “Israel can do what they need to do for their security, but the US shouldn’t be brought into it.” He DOES ignore the Palestinians and the crimes against humanity that Israel has carried out against them. He IS late coming to the party.

It’s obvious that Scott Ritter fears being labeled “anti-semitic”, and so he doesn’t unleash the truth and the whole truth in his article. In addition, he considers his intended audience, the American public, most of which has been so brainwashed about the issues of Occupied Palestine and Israel. He’s featuring a message of “they are biting the hand that is feeding them” rather than “they are a rabid dog that must be put down by the cutting off of the food supply.”

Your conclusion is also correct; all hands on deck as soon as possible, and we can eventually win this battle. We need everyone, even those who once were blinded to the truth but are now beginning to see.

THANKS FOR THE ARTICLE,I AM SO READY FOR A REVOLUTION TO GET ISRAEL OUT OF THE U.S.A. AS FAR AS SCOTT IS CONCERNED, I HAVE THOUGHT THE SAME THINGS. IF HE REALLY CARED ABOUT AMERICA HE WOULD NOT THINK THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL STARTED 2 YEARS AGO. HE WOULD REMEMBER THE USS LIBERTY AND HOW THE COMMON PEOPLE OF THE U.S. WERE STABBED IN THE BACK. I WOULD NEVER TURN MY BACK ON AN ISRALIE.

Like so many people you tend to forget America is as helpless as a new born child against Israel.
the money backing Israel comes from the source of all money enough money to bring to bear Russia China and others against America.America would be dried like a prune and then sliced to bits if it should dare Buck Israel ( Rothschild ).
The American people are asleep at the wheel her best writers go unread by the masses .
READ EUSTACE MULLINS WORK OR EZRA POUND YOU THEN GET A GLIMPSE OF REALITY

The USS Liberty was supposed to be sunk and blamed on the Arabs, to allow the US to attack Egypt with nuclear weapons.

In short order the Russians would intervene, and all hell would break loose, leading too an all out nuclear holocaust of Russia and America.

This nuclear immolation was all planned for us way back in 1946. The plan-to exterminate the human race-is still in place. we are the Living Dead.

This is what the Extraterrestrial intervention is all about. If not for ET, we all would be nuclear waste at this moment.

The nuclear armed B-52 that flew out of Minot was merely another attempt to get a general nuclear holocaust underway. Most likely ET shut down the cruise missile that was launched, and locked the other 5 out.

When the decision was made in 1946 to exterminate us all with nuclear weapons, all of the things that we call Law, ended. There is no lawful order at this time. The government went out of business, by it’s decision to exterminate the mass of humanity in 1946.

What we have is an assortment of vicious nuclear armed enemy fiend elite people, who are going to be taken into custody and placed into an institutionalized setting, where they can no longer attempt to wage a nuclear war.

We are the Living Dead.

Prepare for the biggest take down of the nuclear war fighting predator enemy fiend elite, that has ever happened in the last 5000 years.

It seems that the “Gods” are on our side boys and girls.

Doctor Tillawi:

What else can I say. You have said it all! Great article, Scotty wants to keep collecting those lecture fees and royalties from his articles. If he pisses off the Jewish controlled media that would all go away. I naave been criticized at work because I wear a Palestinian flag lapel pin. I have tried to bring attention to the plight of the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, too many Americans have their opinions developed by Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean O’Hannity, et al. They only hear about the Jewish Holocaust and are not allowed to see or hear of the Palestinian Holocaust. Good luck to us all.

Rocco/Eureka,CA on December 20, 2007
Great article on the US-Israeli marriage affair turning ugly. Please note however, that Michael Chertoff of Homeland Security and Michael Mukasey our Attorney General are both dual US-Israeli citizens. Add to the list Paul Wolfowitz, Bush’s part-time advisor to WMD. Makes one wonder why so many “dual citizens” are in our government and turning the US into a mega Israel. We need a divorce.

Great revolutionary zeal, Hesham Tillawi. Edward Said would have been proud of you. But, if you look at this historically, it never flew for very long and tended to end up in a pogrom. All people seem to have a self preservation instinct that ultimately prevails. What’s new this time around, is the anonymous global capital. How can you wage a war against it?

Stu on December 20, 2007
What if the leaders of the east and west are the same people? To the elite there are zero countries, there are only them and us the sheeple(the rank and file of each “country”). All this “fighting” between countries is only an illusion to keep the sheeple occupied. We the sheeple are the ones being kill while they get richer. We have to quit blaming this country or that country if we want to beat the elite. As long as we think as sheeple(dumbed down) the elite will continue to win. We have to forget about the trees of the forest and concentrate on the one forest(the elite). As long as we keep concentrating on the trees the elite will continue to provide them. Many people know that there is something wrong, but they are divided and confused. Instead of choosing sides like the elite want us to do, we need to quit playing their game and figure out how to take them down instead of the illusions that they put in our paths.
