Oakland Museum Cancels Palestinian Kids' War Art San Francisco Chronicle http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/09/09/BA921L2H5J.DTL
An Oakland children's museum, citing pressure from the community, canceled a planned exhibit of artwork by Palestinian youth that depicted the Israeli assault during the 2008-09 Gaza conflict. The Museum of Children's Art was scheduled to display the art from Sept. 24 to Nov. 13. The exhibit had been in the works for several months, with an opening reception to feature poetry and special art activities for children. The drawings in the exhibit were created by children ranging in age from about 9 to 11 and included bombs dropping, tanks and people getting shot ... The complaints came from Jewish groups as well as others in the community, board members said.

I would bet such an exhibit would also be pulled after inevitable Arab-American protests.

That is wrong. America is ruled by the Jews. Everyone fears them and the TV is on their side.
"It's permissible to discuss the power of every other group, from the Black Muslims to the Christian Right, but the much greater power of the Jewish Establishment is off-limits. That, in fact, is the chief measure of its power: its ability to impose its own taboos while tearing down the taboos of others - you might almost say its prerogative of offending. You can read articles in Jewish-controlled publications from the [New York] Times to Commentary blaming Christianity for the Holocaust or accusing Pope Pius XII of indifference to it, but don't look for articles in any major publication that wants to stay in business examining the Jewish role in Communism and liberalism, however temperately."
http://www.sobran.com/establishment.shtml "The Jewish Establishment (Reprinted from SOBRAN'S, September 1995, pages 4-5) In the early 1930s, Walter Duranty of the New York Times was in Moscow, covering Joe Stalin the way Joe Stalin wanted to be covered. To maintain favor and access, he expressly denied that there was famine in Ukraine even while millions of Ukrainian Christians were being starved into submission. For his work Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism.
To this day, the Times remains the most magisterial and respectable of American newspapers.
Now imagine that a major newspaper had had a correspondent in Berlin during roughly the same period who hobnobbed with Hitler, portrayed him in a flattering light, and denied that Jews were being mistreated - thereby not only concealing, but materially assisting the regime's persecution. Would that paper's respectability have been unimpaired several decades later?
There you have an epitome of what is lamely called 'media bias.' The Western supporters of Stalin haven't just been excused; they have received the halo of victimhood for the campaign, in what liberals call the 'McCarthy era,' to get them out of the government, the education system, and respectable society itself.
Not only persecution of Jews but any critical mention of Jewish power in the media and politics is roundly condemned as 'anti-Semitism.' But there isn't even a term of opprobrium for participation in the mass murders of Christians. Liberals still don't censure the Communist attempt to extirpate Christianity from Soviet Russia and its empire, and for good reason - liberals themselves, particularly Jewish liberals, are still trying to uproot Christianity from America.
Power openly acquired, openly exercised, and openly discussed is one thing. You may think organized labor or the Social Security lobby abuses its power, but you don't jeopardize your career by saying so. The Jewish establishment, it hardly needs saying, is predominantly secularist and systematically anti-Christian. In fact, it is unified far more by its hostility to Christianity than by its support of Israel, on which it is somewhat divided. The more left-wing Jews are faintly critical of Israel, though never questioning its 'right to exist' - that is, its right to exist on terms forbidden to any Christian country; that is, its right to deny rights to non-Jews. A state that treated Jews as Israel treats gentiles would be condemned outright as Nazi-like. But Israel is called 'democratic,' even 'pluralistic.'
Explicitly 'Jewish' organizations like the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League enforce a dual standard. What is permitted to Israel is forbidden to America. This is not just thoughtless inconsistency. These organizations consciously support one set of principles here - equal rights for all, ethnic neutrality, separation of church and state - and their precise opposites in Israel, where Jewish ancestry and religion enjoy privilege. They 'pass' as Jeffersonians when it serves their purpose, espousing rules that win the assent of most Americans. At the same time, they are bent on sacrificing the national interest of the United States to the interests of Israel, under the pretense that both countries' interests are 'identical. (There is, of course, no countervailing American lobby in Israel.)
The single most powerful Jewish lobbying group is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which, as its former director Thomas Dine openly boasted, controls Congress. At a time when even Medicare may face budget cuts, aid to Israel remains untouchable. If the Israelis were to begin 'ethnic cleansing' against Arabs in Israel and the occupied lands, it is inconceivable that any American political figure would demand the kind of military strike now being urged against the Serbs in ex-Yugoslavia.
Jewish-owned publications like the Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly, U.S. News & World Report, the New York Post, and New York's Daily News emit relentless pro-Israel propaganda; so do such pundits as William Safire, A.M. Rosenthal, Charles Krauthammer, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and George Will, to name a few. That Israel's journalistic partisans include so many gentiles - lapsed goyim, you might say - is one more sign of the Jewish establishment's power. So is the fact that this fact isn't mentioned in public (though it is hardly unnoticed in private.)
So is the fear of being called 'anti-Semitic.' Nobody worries about being called 'anti-Italian' or 'anti-French' or 'anti-Christian'; these aren't words that launch avalanches of vituperation and make people afraid to do business with you.
It's pointless to ask what 'anti-Semitic' means. It means trouble. It's an attack signal. The practical function of the word is not to define or distinguish things, but to conflate them indiscriminately - to equate the soberest criticism of Israel or Jewish power with the murderous hatred of Jews. And it works. Oh, how it works. When Joe McCarthy accused people of being Communists, the charge was relatively precise. You knew what he meant. The accusation could be falsified. In fact the burden of proof was on the accuser: when McCarthy couldn't make his loose charges stick, he was ruined. (Of course, McCarthy was hated less for his 'loose' charges than for his accurate ones. His real offense was stigmatizing the Left.)
The opposite applies to charges of 'anti-Semitism.' The word has no precise definition. An 'anti-Semite' may or may not hate Jews. But he is certainly hated by Jews. There is no penalty for making the charge loosely; the accused has no way of falsifying the charge, since it isn't defined.
A famous example. When Abe Rosenthal accused Pat Buchanan of 'anti-Semitism,' everyone on both sides understood the ground rules. There was a chance that Buchanan would be ruined, even if the charge was baseless. And there was no chance that Rosenthal would be ruined - even if the charge was baseless.
Such are the rules. I violate them, in a way, even by spelling them out. 'Anti- Semitism' is therefore less a charge than a curse, an imprecation that must be uttered formulaically. Being a 'bogus predicate,' to use Gilbert Ryle's phrase, it has no real content, no functional equivalent in plain nouns and verbs. Its power comes from the knowledge of its potential targets, the gentiles, that powerful people are willing to back it up with material penalties.
In other words, journalists are as afraid of Jewish power as politicians are. This means that public discussion is cramped and warped by unspoken fear - a fear journalists won't acknowledge, because it embarrasses their pretense of being fearless critics of power. When there are incentives to accuse but no penalties for slander, the result is predictable.
What is true of 'anti-Semitism' is also true to a lesser degree of other bogus predicates like 'racism,' 'sexism,' and 'homophobia.' Other minorities have seen and adopted the successful model of the Jewish establishment. And so our public tongue has become not only Jewish-oriented but more generally minority-oriented in its inhibitions.
The illusion that we enjoy free speech has been fostered by the breaking of Christian taboos, which has become not only safe but profitable. To violate minority taboos is 'offensive' and 'insensitive'; to violate Christian taboos - many of them shared by religious Jews - is to be 'daring' and 'irreverent.' ('Irreverence,' of course, has become good.)
Jewry, like Gaul, may be divided into three parts, each defined by its borders vis-vis the gentile world. There are the Orthodox, who not only insist on borders but wear them. They often dress in attire that sets them apart; they are even willing to look outlandish to gentiles in order to affirm their identity and their distinctive way of life. At the other extreme are Jews who have no borders, who may (or may not) assimilate and intermarry, whose politics may range from left to right, but who in any case accept the same set of rules for everyone. I respect both types.
But the third type presents problems. These are the Jews who maintain their borders furtively and deal disingenuously with gentiles. Raymond Chandler once observed of them that they want to be Jews among themselves but resent being seen as Jews by gentiles. They want to pursue their own distinct interests while pretending that they have no such interests, using the charge of 'anti-Semitism' as sword and shield. As Chandler put it, they are like a man who refuses to give his real name and address but insists on being invited to all the best parties.
Unfortunately, it's this third type that wields most of the power and skews the rules for gentiles. The columnist Richard Cohen cites an old maxim: 'Dress British, think Yiddish.'

Yes, the side with the truth has nothing to fear.
"Witnesses watched as more than 60 Palestinian shops were bulldozed to the ground this week in one West Bank village, while the owners stood by and watch helplessly. But not one American in ten saw or heard about this in the US press.
An educated American pro-life activist was surprised to disbelief when I told him that the Israeli death losses run about one-fourth the number or Palestinians killed by Israelis. He thought the statistics were reversed, having never heard or seen a count in the US press, he has been brain scrubbed. Misinformation by the US press is not excusable in the Internet age. So Israel has provided an Orwellian propaganda filter called the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs (IMFA) that makes it all possible. It provides the convenient excuse the US press needs to look the other way and print abridged stories, keeping most of us ignorant.
The propaganda arm of the Israeli military has once again been caught purposefully lying about the death count among its forces. We believe their purpose in doing this is to condition Americans into accepting Israel's use of American-made weapons of mass destruction against the vulnerable civilian population in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel's willing facilitator is the US Media, which spreads their distorted stories in the USA. This same pattern of misrepresentation is repeated again and again, proving how important and routine propaganda is to Israel.
On December 5th, the IMFA released an account of two suspected sacrifice bombers (wrongly called suicide bombers*) who allegedly killed 22 persons and wounded more than 100. But the press release failed to mention that there were also Israeli military casualties in the raid. Furthermore, their account omitted the fact that a female army sergeant was among the killed. The omission is significant. It fits perfectly into the predictable pattern of how the IMFA deceives Americans almost daily. This practice repeatedly uses almost every report of Israeli deaths to distort the facts of their conflict with the Palestinians. We will now teach you how to read between the lies and know when the story is distorted.
THE PATTERN OF DECEPTION On November 19, 2002, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs (IMFA) re-manufactured a similar story about a Palestinian sacrifice raid on a military target. Twelve Israeli soldiers and paramilitary fighting men were killed and there was no collateral damage (civilians dead). The propagandists changed the "facts" to call the raid a "Massacre of innocent (Israeli) civilians," as the story was carried in the US press. It is a total and complete bald-faced lie, which We Hold These Truths alone corrected it in our article: U. S. Media, Caught Lying...
Again http://www.whtt.org/articles/021224.htm This writer put the facts together from the Israeli military's own documents one month after the event was misreported. Do you, dear reader, know how to recognize such lies for yourself so you don't have to wait for us to unravel it for you? To do this one must first understand the quaint language of the IMFA. We call these lies "z-facts" (short for Zionist facts) meaning lies that are couched in official, narrative sounding language but are indeed untrue. Here is how the Hebron report was distorted by z- facts, which the Media reported as rear facts. The first release from the IMFA read:
"THE TERROR ATTACK IN HEBRON CLAIMED 12 LIVES." and "PALESTINIAN GUNMEN" had opened fire on "JEWISH WORSHIPPERS WALKING HOME FROM RELIGIOUS SERVICES,"
Z-facts differ from bald-faced lies because they do not state outright all the killed or wounded are civilians, but it is clearly implied. (In those rare cases where everyone killed are indeed civilian, the IMFA says so and saves its lies for a later day.) The truth is told only if it suits the teller. By calling an attack on an armed military unit a "terror attack" on "Jewish worshipers" and "claiming 12 lives," the z-facts leave the a clear impression that those killed were civilians. Any honest account would have called it "an attack on Israeli military unit by Palestinian guerillas" etc. In our previous article we explained the procedure as follows: "The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a propaganda arm of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).-They are the first to know who is killed. But they cause the story to be circulated that all killed were civilians because it serves their purpose. Then, once the misinformation has reached the American public, the corrected story is allowed to surface in Israel, though the false images are never corrected in the eyes of the American public." http://www.whtt.org/articles/021224.htm (please forgive us for quoting ourselves, but we are the best source)
In January 5th story Israel did it again. This time every one of our readers should have detected the lie without being told. The press in both countries used the same predictable, deceptive language. Each stated "22 Israelis" had been killed and many more wounded. Had all those killed or wounded had been non-military the report would most likely have called them "civilians." The generic term "Israelis" suggest to us that the IMFA is hiding something, not wanting to identify who was really killed. They were.
Later the same day, a sad corrected story was carried with the names of those killed. The IMFA stated that all of the victims had been identified and included Staff Sgt. Mazal Orkobi of Azor. Ha'aretz subsequently revealed in an obituary that Sgt. Orkobi was a 20 year-old female who was on her first day of active duty with the Israeli Defense Forces. But this part of the story never reached the USA. Nor can we find a disclosure as to how many of the 120 wounded were military. As usual, the IMFA did not disclose those who were in the active reserves but not on duty at the time of death...
But because military were killed and possibly wounded, no one can conclude they targeted civilians. In all but a few sacrifice bombings military are killed or wounded. The IMFA had two reasons for keeping Sergeant Orkobi's name out of the print. They can garner sympathy for their air raids if the American public believes the sacrifice bombers are targeting civilians only. Israel kills Palestinian civilians by the dozens and do not even bother to apologize.
The second reason Israel keeps Sergeant Orkobi's name out of American's minds is that most do not know that Israeli's draft their girls and puts them in harms way. If American Christians knew about the mistreatment of Israeli women, including the use of Military-paid abortion as a birth control method, many would wonder about their unquestioned support of the Israeli war machine.
Christian Israeli Patriots such as Pat Robertson, Franklin Graham and Jerry Falwell, who Ariel Sharon calls the Christian Zionists, might be embarrassed to explain their undying devotion to a regime which drafts women into combat, marches them hip to hip with men, and provides free abortions for the resulting problems. Some might wake up and actually wonder if boys and girls are conditioned to kill and torture Palestinian including children. Israel and a complicit US Media solve these twin problems by doctoring press releases with false statements that omit the loss of military personnel in guerilla raids. Female names are never associated with the military even though they make up about 1/3 of the total draftees.
("Suicide bomber:" Suicide is the act of taking ones one life for the purpose of ending it. Sacrifice bombers have never been shown to have a desire to stop living; their motive is to find and destroy enemy personal regardless of the cost. Thus the term "sacrifice bombers" is more accurate in describing them. The former is an Israeli propaganda label.)

Most likely they determined that this was more of an orchestrated propaganda attempt than any balanced or objective view of the conflict, and therefore not appropriate for display. Even many of the liberal progressives who might otherwise have sympathy for the plight of individual innocent Palestinians get a little uncomfortable with some of the hatred and rage that pours out of people who have been fed anti-Jewish propaganda by their leaders from the day they were born. Good call to shut this one down...

On Wednesday, March 6th, Ha'aretz, the prominent Israeli newspaper, reported that "15 people" were killed the previous afternoon in a "suicide" bus bombing in Haifa. The names of the killed and wounded were not disclosed for more than 24 hours, but personal details about the bomber were released immediately. According to Ha'aretz he was "Mahmoud Amadan Salim Kawasme, 20, a computer student from Hebron Polytechnic Institute. A letter was found on his body that included quotations from the Koran. Kawasme is the 20th student from this college to carry out attacks against Israeli targets since the beginning of the Intifada."(2)
Most readers worldwide were told only a half-truth, that the bomber was a 20 year-old Arab Muslim who deliberately murders innocent civilians. George W. Bush poured glue on the lie by condemning the act as "terrorism against the innocent." We want to assume our President tells the whole truth, but he did not.
THE TRUTH COMES OUT OVERNIGHT:
The MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS standard practice is to wait for the glue holding the lie together to set before bleeding out the names and ranks of those killed, that way most people never know if military are among those killed.
It was later announce that at least two of those killed were IDF (Israeli Army) active duty personnel. Another may have been in the military or the reserves. Unfortunately there were civilian casualties, but the bombing must be viewed as aimed at Army personnel. Why? Because it must be assumed that the soldiers hit were the targets picked. This is the nature of war. Those near soldiers are at risk.
In the first 65 days of 2003, Israel's military has killed no less then 150 Palestinians, almost every one a civilians, and most were killed inside their own homes. About half of those killed were children.
In the entire history of the 12-year Intifada, approximately 66 Israelis children (under military age) have been killed by all Palestinian attacks, including this Haifa bus #37 in which eight teenagers were killed. This figure is compiled by examining public records provided by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Israel's military has killed more Palestinian children in just the last TWO MONTHS than the Palestinian have killed in 10 years! Who then are the child killers?
Five of the eight teenagers killed in the explosion were within one year of military age, which is 18 in Israel, and most were only three or four years younger than the bomber. These students eventually must all serve in the Israeli army.
One can only wonder how many of those 50 who were reported wounded may also be active duty military, or are in the huge reserve forces. The Palestinian attack on Haifa bus #37 was no more or less than a search and destroy mission carried out by a volunteer militia against and illegally oppressor. In some bus bombings 75% or more of those killed were military. Yes, there was significant "collateral damage." But our leaders make no apology for the civilian deaths will that will come in Iraq.
The loss of any life is always tragic. Israelis are human, and so are the Palestinians. WHTT is a pro-life organization. We also grieve for the family of the 20 year old who blew himself up in this mission against those military persons whom he considered his oppressors.
By now the Israeli Defense Force will probably have found Mohamoud's family and destroyed their home, and perhaps their neighbors' homes, perhaps killing many more. Within 24 hour of this Mohamoud's mission the IDF had killed 10 Gaza residents and wounded more than a hundred, many of who will probably not survive, in an Apache Helicopter rocket attack into upon a street crowd of civilians in Gaza. Mahmoud was not from Gaza.
Where do you place the blame for this violence? When our president labeled Mahmoud a terrorist he placed a target on the student's family, and on anyone upon whom the Israelis chose to take retribution. A little lie brings big death; why can't our leader tell the truth about the little details?
Endnotes: (1)Haaretz death report: (<http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml>? itemNo=269940&contrassID=1&subContrassID=5&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y )
(2.) <http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/269513.html> Haaretz reported the following military persons killed on the bus #37
"Barry Oved, 21, from Rosh Pina .... Barry was to have been RELEASED FROM THE ARMY IN ABOUT FIVE MONTHS.... He will be laid to rest at 4 P.M. on Thursday at the MILITARY SECTION of the Rosh Pina cemetery." (Note the admission of his military service, but his rank is not given. If one did not read carefully he could be taken for a civilian.)
"Mitel Katav, 20, from Haifa... WAS RELEASED FROM MILITARY SERVICE just over a month ago... Her uncle, Karmi Katav, said 'she was a sweet and smiling child".... He added that Mitel's father had five children and would get up at 5:30 A.M. TO TAKE HER TO THE BUS STATION ON HER WAY TO THE ARMY BASE."
"Staff Sergeant Eliahu Lacham, 22, from Haifa" "ELIAHU LACHAM WILL BE LAID TO REST AT 9 P.M. ON THURSDAY AT MILITARY CEMETERY IN HAIFA."
[The release does not disclose the names of wounded, nor if Mitel or others on the bus are in the active military reserve, as are most Israelis over 21 years old, but it does reveal that the military travel on public buses in Israel. Editor observed this to be fact on every bus he saw or rode. There can be doubt that public buses in Israel are military targets. Mitel was female soldier, a facts is rarely admitted to Americans when Israelis are killed.]
WHTT has produced several first hand reports proving why buses are military targets in Israel and why the press has lied about it. See LIAR, LIAR! THE ISRAELI MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS by C. E. Carlson (<http://www.whtt.org/articles/020621.htm>)

By Dr. Hanan Ashrawi
"Israeli tanks and armored vehicles are surrounding Palestinian villages, camps and cities (and not the other way around).
Israeli (American made) Apache gun ships are firing Lau and other missiles at Palestinian protestors and homes (and not the other way around).
It is Israel that is confiscating Palestinian land and importing Jewish settlers to set up illegal armed settlements in the heart of Palestinian territory (and not the other way around).
The settlers on the rampage in the West Bank are Israelis terrorizing Palestinians in their own homes (and not the other way around).
The homes that are being demolished at the hands of the Israelis are Palestinian homes (and not the other way around).
The armed soldiers and Special Forces at checkpoints throughout Palestine are Israeli (and not the other way around).
The more than a hundred murdered civilians and thousands of injured are all Palestinians being shot by Israeli occupation troops (and not the other way around).
It is Israel that has closed down the Palestinian airport at Gaza thereby preventing badly needed medical supplies from reaching the Palestinians (and not the other way around).
The crossing points to and from Palestine as well as entrances and exits to and from all Palestinian inhabited areas are manned and controlled by Israeli soldiers who have completely prevented all freedom of movement (and not the other way around)."
