Israel Must Renounce Nuclear Arms and USA Media remains MIA

www.IsraelPalestineDialouge.com

Our Mission at America Together Foundation is a commitment to build cohesive societies where no human has to live in apprehension or fear of the other. We continue to take a stand and speak up. Here is our response to a piece about Nuclear Arms.

Eileen, thanks for writing this piece.

Here is an eye opener to those who are gifted with eyes.  "The resolution, adopted in a 161-5 vote, noted that Israel is the only Middle Eastern country that is not party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons." 

When 161 Nations see the world one way and the 5 see it the other, it builds resentment towards the US and Israel. 96% of the world (161/166) population is frustrated for the non-accountability of Israel and the blind support of the United States.  Of course, we have a commitment to support Israel, but not blindly. We must stand by Israel if it is threatened, and pushed around, but when it is violating all the UN resolutions and rejecting the US requests to hold of on settlements, our support is counter productive for Israel's long term security.

A few thoughtless Jewish men try to slap Anti-Semitism on to everyone and everything, scaring the shit out of people from speaking up, how dumb! They need to get off the high horses of prejudice, it is not Arabs who build resentment, stupid, it is the 161 Nations out there, including almost all of the Latin,  European, African and Asian Nations. 
The moderate Jews need to speak up, I am positive, the Jews and Israeli majority wants peace, but Mr. Netanyahu is holding them together with frightening scenarios, letting them sacrifice the principle of justice for the false security promised through the power of almighty weapons.

The right wing policies in the name of Jews and Israel will delay the long awaited genuine security for the Israelis. It is time they speak up.

UN Resolution Israel Must Renounce Nuclear Arms and USA Media remains MIA

Courtesy of Arab Daily News

By Eileen Fleming

On Tuesday, ABC NEWS filed the AP Report UN Resolution: Israel Must Renounce Nuclear Arms:

The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved an Arab-backed resolution calling on Israel to renounce possession of nuclear weapons and put its nuclear facilities under international oversight.

The resolution, adopted in a 161-5 vote, noted that Israel is the only Middle Eastern country that is not party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. It called on Israel to “accede to that treaty without further delay, not to develop, produce test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons, to renounce possession of nuclear weapons” and put its nuclear facilities under the safeguard of the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency.

The United States, Canada, Palau and Micronesia joined Israel in opposing the measure, while 18 countries abstained…

The U.N. resolution, titled “The risk of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East,” pushed for the establishment of a nuclear weapons-free zone in the Middle East and lamented that U.S.-backed efforts to convene talks were abandoned in 2012…

U.S. representative Robert Wood, in voting against the resolution at the committee-level last month, said the measure “fails to meet the fundamental tests of fairness and balance. It confines itself to expressions of concern about the activities of a single country.”

Wood said the U.S. will continue pushing a Middle East free of weapons of mass destructions, but he warned that such resolutions only undermine prospects for progress.

On March 26, 2006, the Whistler Blower of Israel’s WMD Program, Mordechai Vanunu told me:

“Many journalists come here to the American Colony, from CNN and NY Times. They all want to cover my story, but their EDITORS say no…CNN wants to interview me; but they say they can’t do it because they don’t want problems with the Israeli censor. BBC is doing the same thing.

“Sixty Minutes from the United States from the beginning they wanted to do a program, but because of the censor situation they decide not to do it. Also big media from Germany, France, Italy, Japan. None of them wants problems with the Israelis.”

How Netanyahu Committed Political Suicide

I am glad I understand the Israel Palestine issue precisely as the thoughtful Jewish leaders do. I have always admired Prof Alon Ben-Meir and I hope the the right wing Jewish leaders listen to him, and of course me.  This morning I wrote in a note in response to the Jewish symbols the following:

Communicating  the idea of “Surviving Peace” through symbols (Poster) can be achieved without compromising the Jewishness of the state. The least conflicting image to convey “surviving peace” is the steady presence of wall through several destruction,  and the constant presence of dome of the rock, with a cross symbol on one of the churches in the background. All have survived and assure the population about its eternality – and thus surviving wars and peace.

The Jewish people have endured “homelessness, thus insecurity” for thousands of years, and identifying Israel as Jewish state gives them a sense of security of being home. The Jewish people can consider giving that up over a period of time, if and when the world assures them through actions and with the decline of AntiSemitism.

The world is guilty of Anti-Semitism, however, its increase is caused by short-sightedness on part of the leadership and will change when together we all wake up the leaders up to think long term.

Once a sense of security is achieved, Israel will become a secular or pluralistic democratic state, we all have to work towards that goal.

I got the message about the Star of Davis and the color Yellow, I have been using it for the last 8 years at our www.HolocaustandGenocides.com events.

Dec 4, 2014

Prime Minster Netanyahu’s insistence on passing a bill that will define Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people is as disgraceful as his denial that Israel is not an occupying power. If the bill were to pass now or in the future, it would blow up what’s left of Israel’s democracy and destroy rather than save the Jews’ last haven for which they have yearned for centuries.

The collapse of Netanyahu’s government is indicative of how divisive this bill was. The more cogent question, however, is why Netanyahu, who is supposed to be politically savvy, pressed on with such a bill at a time when Israel is under intense international pressure to end the occupation and is soundly criticized for discriminating against its significant Arab minority?

Netanyahu is motivated by a narrow religious conviction that bequeaths the “Land of Israel” in perpetuity to the Jewish people, which requires no evidence to prove its correctness, and his upbringing as a zealous ideologue reinforced by his father, which blurs his vision and prevents him from seeing the changing reality on the ground.

Netanyahu really believes that he has been ordained to pursue this ‘sacred mission’ to shape Israel’s destiny regardless of any domestic or international opposition. He feels ‘obliged’ to do whatever it takes to enshrine the exclusive right of the Jews in their homeland, including the West Bank. 

Even before he dismissed his government, Netanyahu had already begun to negotiate with the religious political parties to join him in a new government, promising generous financial appropriations to run their ministries as long as they stand behind him and support his misadventures. 

It is hard to believe how Netanyahu has lost complete sight as to why Israel was created in the first place. The purpose behind Zionism was not the creation  of a Jewish state at the expense of the Palestinians by pushing them out of their place of birth, building settlements on their land, and discriminating against the country’s own Arab citizens. Israel was created to provide a home for the Jewish people as a democratic and just nation so that the Jews would cease to be the bastards of humanity and instead, offer hospitality like any other nation and live with security and peace. 

What Netanyahu and his misguided ministers—Lieberman, Bennett, Ya’alon and  company—have done is the precise opposite: making Israel an isolated pariah state, sticking its finger in the eyes of the international community and portraying the Jews as uncompromising and arrogant who can defy their critics—be they friends or foes—with impunity. 

Netanyahu and his cohorts not only give rise to anti-Semitism but give anti-Semites all the ammunition they need to justify their anti-Israeli sentiments and acts of violence against Jews nearly everywhere. 

If he seized the premiership again, Israel’s very existence would be in jeopardy, not because the Palestinians are bent on Israel’s destruction or because Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map with nuclear weapons, but because by his own actions he is chipping away Israel’s right to exist.
A multitude of current and former Israeli officials, including President Rivlin, former President Peres, scores of scholars and security professionals, millions of Israelis, and all of Israel’s allies see no rhyme or reason to suggest that such a bill will make Israel more secure or more Jewish than it is today.

The 1947 UN partition plan called for the establishment of a Jewish state, and every symbol of the country attests to its Jewishness: it has a Jewish majority, a Jewish national identity, Jewish symbols, and a national anthem that invokes the Jews’ yearning “to be a free people in our land.” 

For a country that presumably honors the freedom and rights of every citizen, this bill will trash every principle of democracy and freedom. The Israelis will never be free and at peace as long as the Israeli Arabs are discriminated against and the occupation persists.

No bill or legislation or recognition by the Palestinians as a Jewish state will guarantee Israel’s Jewish identity other than a sustainable Jewish majority. Netanyahu has lost tremendous political ground; it may not manifest itself today but it will eventually sink into the Israelis’ minds what this travesty was all about.

Instead of making peace with the Palestinians and upholding the democratic principles of the country to attract Jews to immigrate to Israel, he is alienating hundreds of thousands of Israeli Jews who are fed up with the never-ending conflict with the Palestinians and opting to leave Israel. 

By merely introducing such a bill, Netanyahu has already rendered the greatest damage to Israel’s international image and standing and evoked an outcry from hundreds of thousands of loyal Israeli Arab citizens who now feel betrayed and estranged from their fellow Israeli Jews. 

Furthermore, Netanyahu’s bill does nothing but pronounce Israel’s Arab citizens as undesirable and unworthy of Israeli citizenship; they basically have no future in their country of birth. In fact, Netanyahu is waging psychological terrorism against a significant segment of the Israeli population while sending a clear message to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza that the two-state solution is a thing of the past. 

To be sure, the bill that Netanyahu wants to pass is like the explosives a suicide bomber wears on his chest, with his finger on the trigger. Whether or not Netanyahu releases the trigger, he has already demonstrated how far he will go to satisfy his blind self-proclaimed mission that will rain havoc on Israelis and Palestinians alike. Netanyahu must never be given another chance to present such a vile bill again.

Only the people of Israel can send Netanyahu to a permanent retirement and save the Jews’ millennium-long dream to live as free people with their Arab neighbors with dignity, security and peace.
