OUR AMERICA:
Keith Ellison Compares Bush to Hitler but Supports Zionists!
Thinking ability is quite rare among American politicians.
Keith Ellison, who is supposedly Muslim and African-American,
is no exception. In mid-July [2007] he tried to prove that he
is no wimp. He took the trouble to compare Bush to Hitler,
with reference to Bush's violations of civil and human rights
of Americans.
When one says that Bush is like Hitler, at the most it can mean
that one hates Bush [which is not difficult to do in a country
where about 70% of the citizens disapprove of Bush's policies].
It also means that one is trying to prove that one has a tough
stance on civil rights.
But is the comparison apt and can it be sustained among educated
people? Let's look at some facts on which all would agree:
Hitler had no Jews in his cabinet! [Bush's war cabinet was full
of elite Jews and he had the support of Jews. Surely Ellison has
heard of Wolfowitz, Perle, and Feith. Does he not have enough
memory left to remember that the war initiative was spread among
the public by the New York Times, though now it has become, very
conveniently anti-war, and its outstanding journalist Judith
Miller? On the Right, Krauthammer played a pro-war role second
only to Judith Miller. Hiding within the Democratic Party was
"Joe" Lieberman who too played a key pro-war role.]
Hitler was seen as a friend by the Palestinians and he in turn
honored the top Palestinian Islamic authority Mufti Amin
al-Husseini.
Bush is more like Sharon who used the Phalangists to massacre
the Palestinians in Sabra and Shatilla. Now Bush has used General
Musharraf to slaughter innocent Muslim youth, men and women, in
Jamia Hafsa and Lal Masjid. [When will Ellison condemn the
Bush-Mush attack on the women's university and the Red Mosque?]
Ellison can best be described as a "Muslim" Zionist. He supports
Israel to such an extent that Jewish Americans chose him over a
Republican Jew! Few can compare with Ellison in his support for
Israel. He did the unthinkable for a Muslim: Started his campaign
from a synagogue.
Hitler died in 1945. It's a Zionist ploy to keep using him as a
symbol 62 years later. He never oppressed Africa or the Muslim
world. By contrast, Bush invaded Iraq, which has resulted in
655,000 Iraqi deaths, has bombed Somalia and undermined Sudan.
Bush with NATO is in Afghanistan where the U.S. air force
routinely bombs Afghan villages killing hundreds every month.
Bush supports Israel to the extent that he completely negated
DEMOCRACY itself, a basic American value, by opposing the
election victory of Hamas in Gaza.
So Ellison should be comparing Bush to Olmert, Sharon, Begin and
should call him a Zionist. That's not going to happen because
Ellison himself is a Zionist, that is one who considers Israel a
legitimate entity and not a terrorist colonialist force.
Challenging Imam Jamil's Prison Conditions

Ramsey Clark Opposes Mubarak's Violation of Basic Rights
Egypt military trial condemned
Courtesy Gulf News: Published: Tuesday, 17 July, 2007, 01:16 AM
Doha Time
CAIRO: Former US attorney general Ramsey Clark yesterday
condemned the military trials of members of Egypt's opposition
Muslim Brotherhood and called on President Hosni Mubarak to
release them.
"The arrest and detention once again of the Muslim Brotherhood
is an outrageous violation of fundamental human rights," Clark,
79, told reporters at the Egyptian Bar Association a day after
being barred from attending the trial.
"I've been in political trials on six continents... I have never
been excluded from a court in any of these trials," he said.
"What does the government of Egypt fear? What is it ashamed of
doing that it can't do in broad daylight as the law requires?"
Clark led a delegation of rights activists that included former
Sunday Express British journalist turned Islamic activist Yvonne
Ridley to Sunday's session of the military trial of 40 leading
Brotherhood activists.
Together with a court observer from Amnesty International, the
delegation was barred from entering the court which is on a
military base.
The Brotherhood members have been charged with funding an illegal
organisation and money-laundering — charges they were originally
acquitted from in a civil court.
Over the past 10 years, Mubarak's government has repeatedly
relied on military tribunals, which have a more consistent rate
of conviction, to try Islamist organisations.
The latest crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, which while
banned holds a fifth of the seats in parliament, began last
December and has targeted the organisation's funding mechanisms,
freezing the assets and arresting prominent businessmen
associated with the movement.
"I ask the government and President Mubarak to recognise the
error of what they have done and to embrace these defendants as
worthy Muslims and release them," Clark said.
An attorney general in the 1960s, Clark went on to become an
anti-war activist and has joined the defence teams at a number
of high profile trials, including that of former Iraqi leader
Saddam Hussain and Egyptian cleric Omar Abdel Rahman. – AFP
Background Study
Israel, USA Attempts to Legitimize the Abbas Clique &
Strangle Hamas
by Edward Miller, San Rafael, California [Exclusive to New Trend]
[Dr. Miller's research on Israel's control of U.S. policies
has few equals. Ed.]
" It would be almost politically suicidal for members of Congress
to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine, to
suggest that Israel comply with international law or to speak in
defense of justice or human rights for Palestinians."
Ex-President Jimmy Carter
This June, peoples of the Middle East. with mixed feelings
quietly recall the 40th anniversary of Israel's 1967,
" Six-Day War." The speed and scope of Israel's 1967
campaign were devastating to the Arabs, who had expected
victory. Egypt, Jordan, and Syria lost almost all of their
air forces and much of their armed weaponry. About 10,000
Egyptian soldiers were killed in the Sinai and Gaza alone,
compared with 300 Israeli casualties on that front. In all,
Egypt lost about 11,000 troops, Jordan lost about 6000, Syria
lost about 1000, and Israel lost 700. As a result, Arab leaders
endured loss of popularity at home while Israel's international
prestige increased.
Today, 40 years later, their Sinai returned, Egyptians live
in a tightly-controlled state with Mohammed Hosni Mubarak as
president. Mubarak keeps some 70,000 of the rival Muslim
Brotherhood in prison. Many Egyptians recall the
nationalist pride they once enjoyed under Nassar.
Today's Jordanians, whose grandfathers remind them that
their land once comprised 76% of the original Palestine
Mandate, (Transjordan ). now survive in a tiny country
with few resources, since, in the '67 War, the Israeli army
pushed them east over the Jordan River. Their King Abdullah
tightly controls a population stretched to its economic limits
by Palestinian refuges who were dispossessed in both the '48
and '67 wars.
The Syrians, who, in '67 lost the Golan Heights to Israel,
still mourn for their 120,000 once- prosperous farmers who
once tilled that most fertile soil in the Middle East, and
supplied agricultural products throughout the region and abroad.
The Palestinians, of course lost everything, including their
UN-promised capital in East Jerusalem. Today they exist, either
as second-class citizens in Israel proper, or, as ex-President
Jimmy Carter reported in his recent book, as prisoners in the
tightly-controlled bantustans of apartheid Occupied West Bank,
or Gaza prison. Isolated by Sharon's still-expanding wall
with its over 700 "checkpoints," Palestinians experience
hourly delays and degrading insult by a surly Israeli military
who regularly hold up ambulances with patients seeking urgent
care in Israeli hospitals, often requiring Palestinian women in
labor to crawl out and deliver on the ground. More than
68 pregnant Palestinian women had to give birth at Israeli
checkpoints during the last six years, leading to 34 miscarriages
and the death of four ...

Today, an increasingly-frantic Bush, his political hands ,
held tight in an Israeli grip, spouts: "Democracy,
Democracy" but can't decide how to handle a
democratically-elected Hezbullah Party in Lebanon or
democratically-elected Hamas Party in Palestine. The PLO
under Arafat was under the control of the Washington/ Israeli
Axis, and the PLO's stepchild Fatah, today under Abbas is
similarly-controlled.
Washington, encouraged by Ohlmert's party in Israel has
successfully arranged a civil war between Fatah and the
duly-elected Hamas Party...The infighting in the last two weeks
has claimed over 141 lives, and has forced most of Fatah's
militias from Gaza. Israel, in response, shut down the Gaza
economy, starving the Gaza Palestinians. Other steps taken
by the Washington/Israeli axis include: millions of dollars sent
to Mahmoud Abbas, along with arms and attempts to strangle
the nascent Palestinian democracy by setting up a puppet regime
in the cities of the West Bank with appointments by Mahmoud
Abbas. To make matters worse, the Zionist media both in the
Mideast and the West, have unleashed a spate of propaganda
to demonize Islamic Gaza. Those regimes which can be
counted to walk in step with the Washington/Israeli Axis:
Hosni Mubarak [Egypt], King Abdullah [Jordan], King Abdullah
["Saudi" Arabia] support Abbas, though their peoples, for the
most part are sympathetic to the Palestinians.
Abbas' hands are not clean. He named Salam Fayyad to replace his
rival Ismail as head of the Fatah militias in the West Bank.
Fayyad has been involved in drug-running ( Flashpoint, 19 June
2007, KALW)
While AIPAC and our Jewish-controlled media constantly refer to
Hamas as well as Hezbullah as "terrorist organizations"
Europeans in general who have access to many more newspapers
and a freer media, have a different view of the Mideast and
Washington's subservience to the Zionist lobby.
As reported in December 2004: Last week in a poll some 7,000
Europeans were asked to pick, from a list of 15 countries, those
which represented the greatest threats to world peace. Chosen
for first place by the vast majority of those interviewed was
Israel with the United States a close second. "
Amongst the U.S. media, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC constantly
repeat Washington's designation of Hamas as a "Terrorist
Organization," while reminding Americans that Hamas "refuses
to recognize Israel." Mideast expert and columnist Robert
Fisk recently responded to this propaganda thus: " No one
asked - on our side - which particular Israel Hamas was supposed
to recognize. The Israel of 1948? The Israel of the post-1967
borders? The Israel which builds - and goes on building - vast
settlements for Jews and Jews only on Arab land, gobbling up
even more of the 22 per cent of "Palestine" still left to
negotiate over ? Fisk adds: " And so today, we are supposed
to talk to our faithful policeman, Mr. Abbas, the "moderate,"
a "leader" we can trust because he wears a tie and goes to the
White House and says all the all the right things? "
As for recognizing Israel, the entire Arab League, as well as
the Hamas leadership, on several occasions have stated that all
their members would recognize Israel as a trading partner and
political equal as soon as Israel gets back behind the 1967
green line, gives up the illegal settlements, and returns East
Jerusalem to the Palestinians as their rightful capital. To
date, Israel has refused.
Though American Jews brag that "Israel is the only democracy in
the Mideast," under Zionism Israel has assumed many of the
characteristics of an apartheid state, along with the trappings
of a fascist foreign policy, with her military seizures of
neighboring land, "extrajudicial assassination, " subjugation
of other peoples.
Back in 1948 when Menachem Begin first introduced his "Freedom
Party" to American Jews, Albert Einstein and other prominent
Jews wrote this full-page warning letter in the
New York Times:
"Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is
the emergence in the newly created State of Israel, of the
Freedom Party...a political party closely akin in its
organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal
to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the
membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a
terrorist right-wing chauvinist organization...This is the
unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism
(against Jews, Arabs and British alike) and misrepresentation
are the means and a "Leader State " is the goal."
Begin's Freedom Party later morphed into the Likud, where many
of whose members embraced the growing Zionist ideology.
Jewish writer Yeshayahu Leibowitz, now deceased, wrote in his
1992 book: Judaism, Human Values and the Jewish State:
" We call the acts of the Palestinians "terrorism" and their
fighters "terrorists," but we are able to rule over the
rebellious people only by acts regarded by the world as
criminal. We refer to this as "policy" rather than "terror"
because it is conducted by a duly constituted government and
its regular army... Already today, the State of Israel, to
which most of the world's nations were once sympathetic, has
earned contempt and hatred throughout the world. Its very
existence has come to depend on a thin lifeline stretching
from the White House. Above all, the State which was to be
the pride and glory of the Jewish people is rapidly becoming
an embarrassment to them."
A few weeks ago many American Jewish groups met in cities across
this country to discuss "The New Anti-Semitism." It must be
evident to any ten-year old schoolboy, that with increasing
access to the internet, Americans are now reaching beyond
our Jewish-controlled media to grasp the daily degree
of violence, killing and utter depravity which for years has
marked Israel's oppression of her Palestinians.
Bush writes to Kadhafi to push for closer ties
TRIPOLI (AFP) - US President George W. Bush has written to Libyan
leader Moamer Kadhafi calling for the development of ties between
Washington and its one-time foe, the official JANA news agency
said on Tuesday.
The message was handed to Kadhafi by Bush's homeland security
advisor Frances Townsend during a visit to Libya.
"We've accomplished a lot through the return of relations between
the United States of America and the Great Jamahiriya (Libya)...
I think our peoples have benefited from the development that is
witnessed by these relations," JANA quoted the letter as saying.
It said Bush expressed his desire to "develop and consolidate"
relations with the one-time pariah state.
JANA said Bush described as an "historical and brave measure"
Libya's decision to end programmes which could result in weapons
of mass destruction.
Diplomatic ties between Washington and Tripoli were restored in
June 2004 after almost a quarter of a century, following
Kadhafi's announcement in December 2003 he was abandoning
ambitions to build such weapons.
Townsend arrived in Tripoli late on Monday, two days before
Libya's supreme court is due to deliver its verdict on an appeal
by six foreign medics on death row. The six were convicted of
infecting hundreds of children with the AIDS virus. Fifty-six
have died.
The case has sparked mounting criticism from the United States
and European Union and hindered Libya's efforts at rapprochement
with the West. Last month, during a visit to Bulgaria, Bush
appealed for the release of the medics, five of whom are
Bulgarian and the sixth who has been granted citizenship.
Relations between Libya and the European Union have also been
strained over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing for which a former
Libyan secret agent was convicted. A total of 270 people died
in the bombing.
Tripoli has promised "more flexibility" in its relations with
Brussels after the agent, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, was
allowed to appeal against his life prison sentence.
