Boycott US Israel Statement BrianClarkeNUJ - 25.03.2008 19:44
MAHATMA GHANDI "Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any code of conduct. The Mandates have no sanction but that of the last War. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home. I am not defending the Arab excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting what they rightly regarded as an unwarranted encroachment upon their country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong, nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming odds."

I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting what they rightly regarded as an unwarranted encroachment upon their country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong, nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming odds." Perhaps one of the most appropriate for remembering this great soul of Ghandi, is the tribute from one of Israel's most intelligent sons, Albert Einstein; "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood." It is however certain that these generations to come will have lessons to learn from the extraordinary life of Mohandas Gandhi" Palestine for the sake of peace and the children of the middle-east, will need to make a sacrifice and go a step further than what Mahatma Gandhi suggested and recognize the state of Israel. Israel needs to start a GENUINE dialogue and stop the blame game and delaying game of pre-conditions. The solution itself is really simple., every child on the street knows that a return to the '67 borders is the solution. In Ireland we understand what the word (Shoah) Holocaust, (The Great Hunger) means. Believe me, we understand, its in our blood and our genes. Between 1845 - 1847 our population, was reduced from 9 million to 3 million by ethnic cleansing, by systematic, calculated, heartless, engineered famine. The revisionist historians have tried to re-write our history but this is fact. Our country too, lost 6 million people. It is so difficult, to forgive this but we must forgive and move on, for the future and for our children's sake. The publication http://www.engageonline.org.uk/ressources/funny/index.html explains this committee's compassion for the Jewish dilemma in this matter but the Palestinian and Arab positions must be respected too. As an Irish people overseas, who are outraged by the systematic ethnic cleansing, being carried out currently in Gaza Concentration Camp, we have found the above, a most informative source, thus far, in trying to understand Israel and these war crimes. Our only reservation, is the author's analysis of Leon Trotsky. At this point, the only further obsevation we would make, is that we are in danger of allowing cerebral masturbation, to become a substitute for genuine human compassion and action, for the victims of the victims of genocidal war crimes. Currently monstrous war crimes are being committed by the US and Israel. We believe our first action, must be a well organized, International Boycott of all countries currently guilty of war crimes. A simple majority of nations voting at the UN, should decide this matter immediately. In the meantime, we are currently boycotting all American and Israeli goods, music labels, film corporations, media corporations, sport franchises, airlines, banking and services. There are alternatives, we urge all intelligent people of goodwill, to be ethical shoppers worldwide, including compassionate Americans and Jews to do the same. We need help with organizing this in Ireland, in an effective peaceful international way. We also need to find effective united ways, to deal with the considerable dis-information in the media, from very powerful agencies. This campaign to be effective and not fall foul, to black propaganda, must dis-associate itself entirely, from all violence, justified or not, to be effective. The propaganda and lies will come, so please, keep it peaceful, keep it simple and stay united. To stay United, again, we must keep it simple, division and those who promote it, is a friend of the enemy. United we stand, Divided we fall. BOYCOTT THE USA AND ISRAEL NOW ! Anyone who would like to build this movement in Ireland organize and spread the word, please contact. E-Mail: BFClarkeNUJ@gmail.com Website: http://BrianClarkeNUJ.livejournal/ |
