Britain’s National Union of Journalists Votes for Boycott of Israel

April 16th, 2007

On Friday, the Annual Delegates Meeting of Britain’s National Union of Journalists (NUJ) passed a motion calling for the government to sanction Israel and for union members to follow a boycott of Israeli goods. The resolution comes as a result of motions moved last summer in the wake of the Occupation’s “savage, pre-planned attack on Lebanon” and the attacks on civilians in Gaza in recent years.

The Union’s South Yorkshire branch initially moved a motion combining condemnation of Israel with the call for boycott. As the debate went on, the motion was divided into two parts. The motion condemning Israel’s war crimes was adopted by large majority, and criticizes the Occupation for the “slaughter of civilians by Israeli troops in Gaza and the IDF’s [Israeli Defense Forces] continued attacks inside Lebanon following the defeat of its army by Hezbollah”. The second motion calling for boycott of Israeli goods and sanctions against the Israeli regime had to pass though two unclear hand risings and a final vote count. The vote count ensured the boycott and sanctions motion passed by 66 to 54. (….Full Article Here)

DON IMUS: They’re (the Palestinians) eating dirt and that fat pig wife of his is living in Paris.

COLLEAGUE: They’re all brainwashed, though. That’s what it is. And they’re stupid, to begin with, but they’re brainwashed now. Stinking animals. They ought to drop the bomb right there, kill `em all right now…

IMUS: Well, the problem is we have (reporter) Andrea (Mitchell) there; we don’t want anything to happen to her.

COLLEAGUE: Oh, she’s got to get out. Andrea, get out and then drop the bomb and kill everybody…

COLLEAGUE: Look at this. Animals. Animals!

The above remarks were made by Imus on his radio program in 2004, but no problem because the vicious hate and call for mass murder was against those who the Jewish extremists hate: the Palestinians. The following article by David Duke looks into the Imus firing and real hate crimes in America.

Imus and Real Hate Crimes

By David Duke

I hope you have already read my article or heard my broadcast on the Internet about the Channon Christian-Christopher Newsome murder case in Knoxville, Tennessee. As you know, the Duke lacrosse team rape scandal is over and the White players have been completely cleared of any wrongdoing. For over one year this non-existent rape was the leading story in the American news media. The theme of most articles and editorials was that Whites regularly rape and abuse Black women and that this crime happened because of pervasive White racism in American society.

The truth is that the boys at Duke are not racists; they are the victims of a criminal justice system and media that are blatantly racist against White people. As the truth of the Duke lacrosse story unfolded, a horrible and real hate crime occurred against a young White couple in Knoxville. Miss Channon Christian and Mr. Christopher Newsom were kidnapped, raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered by five Blacks. Channon was tortured and raped by the five assailants over a two day period. Her breasts were cut off, and toxic cleaning fluid (in an attempt to destroy DNA evidence) was forced down her throat. Her body was dismembered and thrown into a trash can. Christopher Newsom was beaten, tortured, and forced to watch as the assailants raped his girlfriend. The perpetrators even cut off Newsom’s penis and then set his body afire.

Since that time, shock-Jock Imus, who says nasty and disgusting things about just about everyone in the name of humor (including me), was knocked off the air because in a comedy banter he called Black women basketball players “nappy headed ho’s.” Even though he apologized and the team accepted it, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson raised hell and Imus lost his job–the evil of alleged pervasive “White racism” was the number one story for weeks.

Why is the Peace Movement Silent About AIPAC?

By John Walsh
April 17th, 2007
“AIPAC!” was the forceful one-word answer of Congressman Michael Capuano when we asked him, “Why was the Iran clause forbidding war on Iran without Congressional approval taken out of the recent supplemental for the Iraq war funding?” I nearly fell out of my chair at his reply - not because this was news but because of who had just said it. Capuano is a close ally of Nancy Pelosi, her fixer and enforcer. That was last Friday morning when a small delegation from Cambridge and Somerville, MA, were visiting the Congressman, known for his bluntness, as part of the nationwide UFPJ (United For Peace and Justice) home lobbying effort during the Congressional recess.

Later that day, Dennis Kucinich made an appearance at Harvard, where he was asked the same question, the reason for removing the Iran provision. “AIPAC,” I volunteered out loud. Kucinich looked my way and said, “Exactly.” Again my chair almost failed to contain me.

A few weeks earlier we had gone to the offices of Senators Kennedy and then Kerry to discuss the war. (My intention was to call their attention to http://www.filibusterforpeace.org/ to which the Kennedy aide was sympathetic and the Kerry aide predictably hostile.) I raised the question of AIPAC directly with Kerry’s aide, inquiring about its hawkish influence on Kerry and other Senators. Suddenly the aide was quite engaged. Leaning forward, he said: “That will never be discussed publicly. That will never be discussed publicly.” Clearly even Kerry’s office is unhappy with the pressure that comes from AIPAC.

It is widely acknowledged that the reps and senators are ticked at AIPAC, and their hostility seems to be growing these days. With upwards of 60% of their campaign contributions coming directly or indirectly from the Israel Lobby, the Democratic congressmen are not free to respond to their antiwar base. This opens them to an antiwar electoral challenge on the Left or Right from forces not subservient to AIPAC. And that could cost them their next election, a little thing which has them very worked up. Capuano’s cry of “AIPAC” was no simple outburst of candor but a cri de coeur for his career.

Have You Visited www.ADL.org?

By Rev. Ted Pike

As national concern over impending passage of the federal anti-hate bill heightens, an increasing number of new right organizations are writing articles in opposition. I am delighted!

However, since these organizations are pro-Zionist, they feel that in order to protect the Jewish people they must obscure the role of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith as the culprit behind hate laws worldwide.

To do this, they are creating the mythology that “the homosexual lobby” is the great Satan behind hate laws and the sinister attempt to end free speech.

Truth is the best way to deal with incipient mythologies. The issue of who is behind hate laws can quickly be resolved by going to www.adl.org/99hatecrime/intro.asp where you will find a very detailed, 14-page article explaining how ADL’s model anti-hate statute works and is the template upon which all state and federal hate laws are constructed.

Yes, evangelicals, it’s time to fight hate laws as if our lives literally depend upon it. Yet, let’s not turn to half-truths and lies, thinking such are necessary to protect God’s chosen people or to solicit the broad support we need. The fact is, a century of half-truths and lies concerning matters Jewish has brought us to national crisis.

Why not give the whole truth a chance and see what it can do to save us? For the whole truth behind hate laws, go to http://www.adl.org/! – (Article source at Truthtellers.org)
