Andy Martin says the Israeli Rape of Gaza will go down in history alongside the rape of Nanking and the attack on Guernica

American television is beginning to convey more graphic images of Israeli atrocities in Gaza, Andy Martin says. Martin, who was Barack Obama's first and strongest critic and remains so, says he now "grieves" for the man who will inherit the Israel-created chaos in the Middle East. The Gaza bloodbath marks the beginning of the end for the Israeli regime, Martin predicts; the Zionist dream has been hijacked by Nazi-style military murderers. Obama will inherit the madness of Israeli government policies, and may be helpless to undo the damage inflicted on the past few weeks.

Internet powerhouse Andy Martin says the rape of Gaza could become a historic turning point in American foreign policy

American media are gradually awakening to the reality of Israeli troops drunk on Palestinian blood

Will America pay? No one can predict the future, but Obama appears doomed by the Israeli slaughter in Gaza, and maybe so are we

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANDY MARTIN PREDICTS THAT THE ISRAELI BLOOD LUST IN GAZA WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY ISRAEL AND ENDANGER THE UNITED STATES

"TODAY I GRIEVE FOR BARACK OBAMA," SAYS MARTIN.

(CHICAGO)(January 12, 2009) The Japanese Rape of Nanking, the Nazi attacks on Guernica. You can add the Rape of Gaza to the senseless slaughters that will be remembered as turning points in history. Pictures in the N. Y. Times of "chanting" Israelis before they spill Palestinian blood are spine chilling.

Israel is doomed; will America follow? Will America be dragged down by Israel's bloodthirsty insanity? Very possibly.

Barack Obama's "dreams" for "change" are being destroyed by Israeli leaders. He is not enough of a man to condemn this villainy, and he will pay as well. How they all pay, and when, remains to be seen.

When graphic pictures of Israeli savagery start turning up on local New York City television stations, you know that a serious calamity has been triggered by Israeli arrogance and greed. WABC-TV Channel 7 was unable to avoid the reality that the majority of causalities were innocent civilians, mostly women and children, not "Hamas fighters."

This "war" of the American-armed against the unarmed has been a relentless torrent of Israeli atrocities, and Israeli disinformation about those atrocities. Making war on a civilian population, historically condemned today at Guernica and Nanking, when there were obvious alternatives for peace in the Middle East, will doom the Israeli state just as much as the end of Nazi Germany and the end of Imperial Japan were foreordained by their attacks on unarmed cities.

Why, then, is Israel engaging in a senseless slaughter of women and children in Gaza?

During the Middle Ages anti-Semites created the "blood libel" that Jews captured children to slaughter them. These claims were outrageous lies, but the viciousness of the concepts persisted and led to the insanity of the Third Reich.

Today is it not a lie or a libel, however, to state unequivocally that Israelis are indeed slaughtering children, despite Israeli denials to the contrary. Are we witnessing a blood libel, or a blood reality? The pictures of Israeli troops "chanting" before they went in to spill the blood of women and children were chilling; nothing like this has been seen since the Nazi storm troopers of the Second World War. Chanting what?

Israelis, of course, claim they are merely "protecting" themselves. They are doing no such thing. Over the past week even the New York Times and Washington Post have been forced to print op-ed commentaries that document the gruesome realty and mendacity and the crass political motives behind the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian people. Israel abandoned a working truce in Gaza to launch blood-soaked attacks on innocent civilians. Why?

In an earlier column, I made the point that the real target and the true victim of the Israeli slaughter was Barack Obama. Obama has terrified Israeli leaders with claims that he wants peace. Israel was created in the wake of a war and can only survive through endless war. Israel cannot exist at peace with its neighbors because the very existence of the Israeli state has become an anathema to every civilized nation in the world except the United States.

And, yes, Channel 7 also showed pictures of Palestinians congratulating Americans on their weapons of mass destruction. American bombs and American planes are spilling Palestinian blood. Israelis have tied us to their homicidal policies. People know where the Israeli torture chambers and killing machines originate: in the good old U S of A.

Those of us who tell the truth about Israeli aggression are smeared as "anti-Semites" and worse. We are nothing of the kind. We are civilized human beings who condemn the blood soaked leaders of the Israeli state and their insatiable hunger for Palestinian blood. In a ritual so sick it is frightening, Israelis hunger for Palestinian blood to slake their own thirst for legitimacy as a nation. They will never succeed and never satisfy that thirst.

I am no friend of Barack Obama; indeed I have been and I continue to be one of his harshest critics. But today I feel pity for Obama. I have a deep sympathy for Obama and his supporters. Israeli leaders are destroying Obama, and Americans will be the ones to get the bill.

There is never a one-for-one relationship between outrageous acts by nations, but sometimes we come close. During the 1980's, Americans tragically destroyed an Iranian airliner. The incident was a mistake, but we paid with the subsequent Lockerbie attacks on Pan American Airways. Blood for blood.

Are Palestinians going to launch attacks on the United States? Not on your life. Palestinians have never attacked any nation. They have been defending their homes and land for over sixty years, nothing more. They have had to defend against a relentless blood lust of the Israeli people to "defeat" the Palestinian people. As recently as last week an Israeli leader looked down on Palestinians as "defeated." Defeated by whom? For what?

It is Israel that is defeated. They just don't know it yet. Their endless game of "blood for land" is over. Israel's latest treachery and slaughter will be internationalized in ways that we can't yet see or predict. Most likely, the Palestinians will not even be the ones to extract the revenge. But in Afghanistan, and Pakistan, in Iraq and throughout the Middle East, America will be an increasing anathema. To play on Obama's own words, I don't think he can "reboot" the jackboots of George Bush's policies. The images are too embedded in our minds.

The hypocrisy and impotence of Arab leaders is also sickening. The Mubarek dictatorship is moved closer to its deathbed because of the Palestinian slaughter. Egyptian perfidiousness has reached sickening proportions. An Egyptian "ambassador" sits in Israel while Palestinians are slaughtered. What is the ambassador doing? Sipping tea with Israelis? The American puppet Mubarek, of course, has contempt for his own people, and treats them like hogs. Why would he not treat Palestinians even worse?

In Jordan, the British puppet monarchy will probably fall as well, and sooner than we expect.

All of these catastrophes for U. S. policy are not going to happen next week. But they have become as inevitable as the disintegration of the Israeli state. In seeking to exterminate Palestine, and to "defeat" Palestinians, Israel has triggered the timeline for its own extermination and defeat.

We like to condemn the "holy warriors" of Islam, and indeed Islamic fanatics are a negation of everything we believe in the civilized west. In accusing Israel of bloodthirsty tactics I am not doing so to endorse militant Islam. Unlike Israelis, who try to shoehorn their critics into a "for us" or "against us" routine, I am against both sides. I find both extremes odious and self-destructive.

But the holy warriors of the Israeli state, who today chant on their tanks as they go in to the spill Arab blood, will be chanting different melodies in the years ahead. They may not be so arrogant and racist as they are now.

Israel committed a classic, colossal blunder. Israelis feared Obama; I did not. On Al-Jazeera in November I predicted that Obama would be Bush III, more of the same mindless support for Israel. In reality, Israel had nothing to fear from Obama. But they were consumed by fear anyway, irrational fear. Obama would have liked nothing better than to let the Middle East slide for another eight years; but the rape of Gaza has made continued American support for Israel untenable.

Politicians, of course, will still seek money from the "Israel Lobby," and loudmouths such as Senator Chares Schumer will still glory in the spilling of Arab blood. No doubt.

But from the Rape of Gaza forward, America's support for Israel has become toxic and fatal. Americans will now have to decide whether they want their own nation destroyed to endorse and support the blood lust of the Israeli military junta.

When the Obama voters and Obama himself wake up and see the reality and mendacity of the Israeli bloodbath, directed at America as much as at Palestinians, there will be a reaction and it will not be a pleasant one. Israelis, of course, being a sociopathic society, think they can drink a little Palestinian blood, stop the spilling, and then play "pretend" and go back to normal relations with neighbors and the U. S. I don't think so.

If Americans die, and they probably will as a result of and in the wake of the Israeli pogroms, we will no longer be able to ask "Why do they hate us" when the answer has been splayed across local TV stations in the United States: because we pay taxes to Washington to support politicians who support bloodthirsty Israelis in their holy wars against Islam.

This is a strongly worded column, but not one that is ultimately anti-Israel or anti-American, or pro-Palestinian and pro-Arab. Individual Israelis who favor peace are as helpless as individual Americans who seek peace. We have been hijacked by maniacs in our national leaderships. Ultimately, however, senseless slaughter advances no agenda. Blood-soaked policies only reverberate, sooner or later, on the perpetrators, not the victims.

Once, a helpless baby, an "Obama," was born and he went on—rightly or wrongly—to assume power in the United States. Perhaps today somewhere bleeding in Gaza is a helpless child that will grow up some day to slay the bloodthirsty Israelis. I wouldn’t be surprised. History has a way of playing tricks on us.

We began this century drunk on our own "superpower" status and were later consumed by a bloodthirsty hunger to unleash our weapons of mass destruction on Iraq. The American blood that we spilled has been wasted. We accomplished nothing but our own destruction. The world is not a safer place today.

America is much weaker in 2009 than we were six years ago in 2003. We destroyed ourselves through our own blood lust. Today the "superpower" has become a laughingstock, and we are stymied by a supposedly "dead man," Osama bin Laden, and a handful of irregulars in the Taliban forces. Saddam Hussein was an unspeakably evil man but he posed no threat to the United States. In removing Saddam we created a fissure that we may not be able to close.

Obama promised to change this toxic status quo and to end the stalemate. I never believed him. But today I pity him. George Bush has left him mountains of Palestinian corpses that will be avenged by someone, somewhere, on Obama's watch. It won’t be a pretty sight when it happens.

Obama will be blamed of course. But while I am an Obama critic second, I am always an American patriot first. I am not happy to predict such a glum future for our nation and its foreign relations. I am not happy at all.

As much as I dislike Obama and oppose his political views, today it is hard not to grieve for him. Israel is destroying his future, America's future, and its own future by the Rape of Gaza. Once again, we are blinded by our own stupidity and our own blood lust.

Nanking, Guernica, and now Gaza. When will they ever learn?

Andy Martin prays for a Hamas victory in Gaza

Is Barack Obama’s foreign policy being preempted by Israeli genocide in Gaza? Middle East expert Martin says that there cannot be peace in the region until the “Israeli Wehrmacht” is resoundingly defeated.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

“ONLY WHEN GAZA’S SEWERS OVERFLOW WITH ISRAELI BLOOD WILL PEACE BECOME POSSIBLE,” SAYS MARTIN

FAILED PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH HAS AGAIN SQUANDERED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEACE, SAYS MARTIN

(CHICAGO)(January 4, 2009) As a Christian, I am praying today for a Hamas victory in Gaza. Every Christian must pray for Hamas to defeat the Israeli Wehrmacht. Israel has become the greatest threat to world peace. This outlaw nation must be defeated if the prospect of peace is to return.

I pray for a Hamas victory even though I support and believe in everything Israeli, and abhor everything Hamas-related. I admire the free speech, limited democracy, culture and energy of Israelis. They are my friends and I support any Israeli who stands for peace against the Israeli Wehrmacht.

Contrarily, Hamas represents everything I condemn: religious intolerance and extremism, subjugation of women, rigidity to the point of stupidity, and regression not progress.

How then can I pray for an Israeli defeat and a Hamas victory? My views seem backwards.

I pray for a Hamas victory because George Bush is an incompetent liar who has devastated America’s interests in the Middle East and around the world. For the past three years, Bush has been waging a terror war against Gaza, using the Israelis as his proxies. Israelis have used Americans tax dollars, which we borrow from China, to commit atrocities against the unarmed civilian population.

Bush brought Hamas to power through free and honest elections. Gazans were told to engage in democracy, and they voted against the corruption and incompetence of the PLO. When Bush did not like the fruits of democracy, he decided to poison the tree. Bush brought Hamas to power. Nice work, Bushie. Now he wants to destroy his own creation. Where have I seen this before?

Israel encouraged the creation of Hamas as part of plan to use religious extremism to defeat the secular PLO. The tactics obviously backfired.

History will reflect that George Bush did more to encourage religious fundamentalism and intolerance, and Muslim extremism, than any president in recent history. Bush also did more to undermine our Middle East allies than anyone in history. The 9/11 attacks on New York gave him a unique opportunity to lead a movement towards world peace. He squandered his opening in a senseless invasion of Iraq and as a devoted doormat for Israeli warmongers led by Ariel Sharon.

Little Barry Obama, ever the coy one, says that he is not the president. Cat got Barry’s tongue? Can‘t “Little Barry” speak out as Bush destroys Obama’s legacy before it even begins? Americans’ hope for peace are being systematically demolished by the Israeli Wehrmacht.

A few hours ago I received a goofy e-mail accusing Barack Obama of being a war criminal. I replied that the claim was complete nonsense. I am reconsidering. In a few days Obama may become a war criminal.

Bush should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. He may never be brought to trial in person, but he should be condemned in absentia and banned from travel to the civilized nations of the world. He should treated as the pariah he deserves to be.

Power, like wealth, is a burden. It imposes some degree of caution and responsibility on the temporary holder. But Bush has been a reckless, hypocritical holder of America’s power. He has impoverished us financially at home and politically throughout the world. Likewise, Israelis have squandered their own potential for leadership in endless blood lust.

Bush, of course, admittedly was a complete foreign policy neophyte when he was elected. Sadly, he learned nothing in eight years as president.

In Egypt, the Mubarek Dynasty has condemned Hamas. But the pictures of Mubarek the Betrayer together with Israeli candidate Zipi Livni that will live in infamy in Arab history. Mubarek signed the death warrants of Gazan women and children. He also has blood on his hands. Mubarek grovels for American dollars. Nice work, Bushie.

Only when a generation of young Israelis is annihilated by Hamas, and Israeli blood overflows in the sewers of Gaza, can the world be brought back to sanity and the military dictatorship imposed on the Middle East by America in 1948 be brought into line with international law.

Americans, of course are drugged with Israeli propaganda every day. As a young schoolboy I was subjected to textbooks that heralded Israeli “progress” in the Middle East, when the racist regime was massacring innocent civilians during the 1950's. Anyone who stands up the “Jewish Lobby” and AIPAC is instantly excoriated in the media as being an anti-Semite. On the contrary, Israel’s critics are the best friends that Israelis have; we are the true Philo-Semites.

When Americans say they "support" Israel, they have no idea what they are supporting and who is behind the Fourth Reich, transported from Berlin to Jerusalem in 1948. When will the insanity end?

Only when Israel is decisively defeated.

For the last three years Israel has spearheaded a terrorist campaign against Gaza. Gaza is an Israeli prison where food is prevented from entering, where the basic necessities of life have to be smuggled in through tunnels, and where Israeli politicians use Arab blood to buy votes. These blood-drenched votes will be an eternal curse on the Israeli state.

In World War II, Nazis encircled the Warsaw Ghetto. Imprisoned Jews fought for their freedom. That episode is enshrined in history, and justifiably so. Today Gazans are encircled, and they are fighting for their freedom. In due course the Gaza Ghetto will take on the same historic and iconic role as the Warsaw Ghetto. Once Jews were the victims; today Israelis are the perpetrators. The have come full circle in duplicating the horrors of the Third Reich in their own reincarnated Fourth Reich.

Barack Obama is sitting on the sidelines, playing basketball and “monitoring the situation.” He appears to have no sense that his own administration is dying in Gaza. Israel is not only trying to massacre Arabs; the junta in Jerusalem is also trying to massacre Obama’s hopes for peace, and the hopes of tens of millions of Americans who supported Obama. People want peace; Israel wants war. I am not an Obama supporter. But as an impartial observer I see the hopes for his administration steadily slipping away.

Why is it that Israel’s Fourth Reich is addicted to war, violence, murder and oppression? For the same reasons as the Third rich in Germany. Israel is a failed state, a failed experiment in which western powers imposed a “state” on the helpless people of the Middle East. The experiment is an embarrassing failure. Sixty years later, Israelis refuse to live in peace with their neighbors; they don’t think they have to. Israel’s Fourth Reich has become the modern embodiment and reincarnation of the Third Reich. And George Bush has blindly gone along for the ride.

Will achieving peace be easy? No. Israel is a well-armed criminal gang; some have called it an army in search of a state. This outlaw state will not yield power easily. That I why the blood of young Israelis must overflow in the feces-clogged sewers of Gaza—clogged because of Israeli blockages of public sanitation and water treatment plants--before Israelis come to their senses.

As a humanitarian and Christian I mourn the waste of any Israeli or Arab life, on an equal basis. I mourn the loss of young men and women who will never enjoy God’s creation, whose lives are cut short by the dreams of greedy politicians. But if lives must be sacrificed, let them be sacrificed for a just and equal peace, not for endless Israeli warmongering and conquest.

In 2000 I propounded the Andy Martin Middle East Peace Plan. Then, the incompetent Prime Minister Ehud Barak was spreading Israeli lies about having “no partner for peace.” It was total Israeli disinformation. Today the same incompetent monster Barak is slaughtering Gazans to save his political career. Israelis go from failure to failure.

Palestinians are also losers. Abu Mazen, Mahmoud Abbas, thinks that by remaining silent about Israeli atrocities he may endure politically and return to Gaza as an Israeli proconsul. Not likely.

My peace plan called for immediate recognition by the United Stats of a Palestinian State, and the interposition of U.S. troops along the 1967 borders to enforce peace. Yes, you may be surprised to learn, I was and am willing to risk American lives to protect Israel as well as Palestine. Between Israelis and Palestinians I am completely neutral. I only support U. S. interests, nothing else. I am not anti-Israel in concept but I am against the military junta that controls Israel. As long as Israeli war criminals are welcome in our White House, and George Bush encourage Israeli bombardment as a substitute for rational peace negotiations, war will continue and Americans will suffer.

Ask yourself this painful question: if Israelis are using our weapons and our tax dollars to kill Arabs, why shouldn't Arabs kill us? Why not? Legally and morally we are as equally guilty as our Israeli stooges who pull the triggers.

George Bush could have gone down in history as a hero. He is a fundamentally decent man. He could have made peace between Israelis and Palestinians. He properly retaliated against Al Qaeda for the attacks on New York. Bush could have made America a peace maker instead of a war enabler. He squandered our nation’s future with his mindless attack on Iraq and with his encouragement of the Israeli Wehrmacht.

Bush will be remembered as a failed president, the worst in history, who destroyed the world he inherited and left chaos and tragedy in his wake.

Will Obama do any better? The Israeli Mafia is trying to tie his hands by making endless war inevitable. That’s the real message of the terror war against Gaza. And that’s why I believe Hamas must win, and why Israeli blood must flow in Gaza. Only when the Israeli Wehrmacht is destroyed can the world hope for a new dawn of peace.

And so, even as I deplore Hamas’ philosophy and religious extremism, I pray for their success as the first step back to reality for American foreign policy. Right now Barack Obama’s foreign policy is dead on arrival (DOA). Will Obama revive it, or will he genuflect to the Rahm Emanuels and other pro-Israel extremists who will be in control of his White House?

In the meantime, in a twist of fate, only a Hamas victory can rescue America from the insanity of the Bush years. Only a devastating Israeli defeat can put an end to their dreams of empire that have led to sixty years of slaughter by the Israeli Wehrmacht.

Mr. Obama, in sixteen days you won’t be able to hide any more.

I mourn the loss of young men and women who will never enjoy God’s creation, whose lives are cut short by the dreams of greedy politicians. But if lives must be sacrificed, let them be sacrificed for a just and equal peace, not for endless Israeli warmongering and conquest.

In 2000 I propounded the Andy Martin Middle East Peace Plan. Then, the incompetent Prime Minister Ehud Barak was spreading Israeli lies about having “no partner for peace.” It was total Israeli disinformation. Today the same incompetent monster Barak is slaughtering Gazans to save his political career. Israelis go from failure to failure.

Palestinians are also losers. Abu Mazen, Mahmoud Abbas, thinks that by remaining silent about Israeli atrocities he may endure politically and return to Gaza as an Israeli proconsul. Not likely.

My peace plan called for immediate recognition by the United Stats of a Palestinian State, and the interposition of U.S. troops along the 1967 borders to enforce peace. Yes, you may be surprised to learn, I was and am willing to risk American lives to protect Israel as well as Palestine. Between Israelis and Palestinians I am completely neutral. I only support U. S. interests, nothing else. I am not anti-Israel in concept but I am against the military junta that controls Israel. As long as Israeli war criminals are welcome in our White House, and George Bush encourage Israeli bombardment as a substitute for rational peace negotiations, war will continue and Americans will suffer.

Ask yourself this painful question: if Israelis are using our weapons and our tax dollars to kill Arabs, why shouldn't Arabs kill us? Why not? Legally and morally we are as equally guilty as our Israeli stooges who pull the triggers.

George Bush could have gone down in history as a hero. He is a fundamentally decent man. He could have made peace between Israelis and Palestinians. He properly retaliated against Al Qaeda for the attacks on New York. Bush could have made America a peace maker instead of a war enabler. He squandered our nation’s future with his mindless attack on Iraq and with his encouragement of the Israeli Wehrmacht.

Bush will be remembered as a failed president, the worst in history, who destroyed the world he inherited and left chaos and tragedy in his wake.

Will Obama do any better? The Israeli Mafia is trying to tie his hands by making endless war inevitable. That’s the real message of the terror war against Gaza. And that’s why I believe Hamas must win, and why Israeli blood must flow in Gaza. Only when the Israeli Wehrmacht is destroyed can the world hope for a new dawn of peace.

And so, even as I deplore Hamas’ philosophy and religious extremism, I pray for their success as the first step back to reality for American foreign policy. Right now Barack Obama’s foreign policy is dead on arrival (DOA). Will Obama revive it, or will he genuflect to the Rahm Emanuels and other pro-Israel extremists who will be in control of his White House?

In the meantime, in a twist of fate, only a Hamas victory can rescue America from the insanity of the Bush years. Only a devastating Israeli defeat can put an end to their dreams of empire that have led to sixty years of slaughter by the Israeli Wehrmacht.

Mr. Obama, in sixteen days you won’t be able to hide any more.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ATTENTION SAN DIEGO DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF TUESDAY (TODAY) NEWS CONFERENCE IN SAN DIEGO

INTERNET POWERHOUSE ANDY MARTIN CONDEMNS ISRAELI BUTCHERY IN GAZA, SAYS ISRAEL IS A “FAILED STATE”

MARTIN SAYS THAT UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY IS LINKED TO ISRAELI TERRORISM, AND “LITTLE BARRY OBAMA’S” LEGACY IS BEING DESTROYED BEFORE IT BEGINS

MARTIN EXPLAINS WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND WHAT U. S. MEDIA DO NOT TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DUE TO ISRAELI PRESSURE AND PROPAGANDA

“PLEASE DO NOT ASK ‘WHY DO THEY HATE US’ THE NEXT TIME AMERICA IS ATTACKED,” MARTIN SAYS. “THEY HATE US BECAUSE AMERICA IS SUPPORTING ISRAELI TERRORISM AND TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THE MASSACRE OF A CIVILIAN POPULATION””

(SAN DIEGO)(December 30, 2008) The Israeli butchery continues in Gaza. Little Barry Obama (“LBO”) is secluded in his $9 million hideaway in Hawai’i, and George Bush is going “right on” to the murder and mayhem in Gaza. The American people continue to be drugged by Israeli propaganda as U. S. media endorse Israeli terrorism. What does all this mean, and why is all this happening now?

On Sunday I held a San Francisco news conference at which I pointed out Israel’s attack on Gaza was in reality a declaration of war on Barack Obama (“Little Barry Obama”). Israel fears Obama and wants to destroy his foreign policy before it begins. Little Barry Obama thinks that by saying the “U. S has only one president” he can escape responsibility for the consequences of Israel’s bloodthirsty attacks. He can’t. Obama’s cowardice can no longer protect him from reality, and U. S. media can't insulate him from the disaster he faces on January 20th. Israel has guaranteed that his administration is DOA.

I don’t mean to pick on the San Diego Union-Tribune but I read the U-T this morning only to see Israeli propaganda on the editorial page. Is the U-T an Israeli agency? Of course not. But Americans have been drugged with Israeli propaganda for so long they no longer have any idea what is happening in the real world That is why we squeal “Why do they hate us?” every time the U.S. attacked.

The U-T said the “vast majority” of persons killed in Gaza were Hamas soldiers. Who counted the dead and separated them? There is unavoidable evidence civilians are being massacred by bloodthirsty Israeli pilots, see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/29/AR2008122902490.html?hpid=topnews

Is the term “bloodthirsty” an unfair one to attach to Israeli pilots, who are “merely following orders?” Not really. Half the population of Gaza is children under 16. When indiscriminate bombing is conducted, it is obvious that half the casualties, dead and wounded, will be children. That is terrorism against helpless children and an unarmed civilian population, all courtesy of taxpayer-subsidized weapons from the United States.

Now you know why the children of the world are growing up to hate us.

Do I support Hamas? Not on your life. I have no love for that group. But no one is willing to admit the truth: Hamas was created by the Israelis as a counterweight to the PLO. Israel created Hamas and is now being consumed by his own creation.

It is also true in life, as in the law, that bad people can have a good case. Or as we learned from Justice Stewart in law school, “a thief is entitled to deny he is a burglar.” Hamas has a good case despite being a bad organization. (I abhor and condemn religions extremism in any religion which is why I am no admirer of Hamas.)

Israel claims that it “withdrew” from Gaza three years ago. That is simply not true. Israelis simply replaced one form of occupation with another. Israelis merely replaced physical occupation with an external siege. Gaza is under siege in the air, on land and at seas. Israel has been trying mass starvation to starve the Gazans into submission. The policy has been a complete failure.

Now Israel is trying mass terror bombings to subdue the civilian population. What's next? Gas chambers? Gas chambers are the only one of the Third Reich's evil weapons that the Israelis have avoided. To date. Will the Israelis succeed in making Gazans abandon Hamas? Mass murders have never succeeded in changing civilian attitudes. Israeli bomber pilots are nothing but recruiting agents for Hamas, Hizballah and Al Qaeda. Osama is laughing at us.

So what about the “violations” of the ”case fire?” Who’s guilty there? Both sides, with the major guilt being Israeli. It is absolutely true that Gazans are sending rockets into Israel. What would you do, what would Americans do if someone blockaded our country? To turn around a letter to the editor in the Union-Tribune today, what would Americans do if our neighbors started blockading the U.S? We would fight back. Gazans are fighting back. Why? Because Israel continues to starve them into submission.

No Palestinian has ever made an honest deal with an Israeli government official. The entire Israeli leadership is composed of two-faced liars, deceivers and shameless frauds. Israel offered Hamas a “deal” six months ago: stop the rockets and we will open the gates, ending the siege. The rockets largely stopped, but the gates never opened. It was just another evil Israeli game. And so in time the rockets resumed. So who broke the cease fire? Is Israel under siege, or is Gaza? Who is blockading whom???

Israeli politicians are now running for election and bragging about their bravery, blood-soaked hands, and shameless butchery. That is the way you appeal to public opinion in Israel. Not all Israelis are evil; on the contrary, most Israelis want peace, just as long as they can keep the Palestinian property they have already looted.

But just as in the United States, evil elements exercise a disproportionate influence over democracy. The leading candidate for Israeli leader is an extremist who favors endless war and occupation. Nice “peace” platform, that. When Yasser Arafat was alive, Israelis said Arafat was the “obstacle to peace.” Arafat has been dead for years. Funnily enough, the Israelis keep manufacturing new “obstacles to peace.” Maybe they really don’t want peace? Maybe they can’t face reality any more than Palestinians?

Gazans today offered Israel an honest deal: end the blockade and we will end the rockets. Will Israeli leaders agree to end the blockade? Not on your life. They refuse to admit Hamas exists just the way Hamas refuses to admit Israel exists. Neither one will negotiate with their nonexistent adversary.

What about the two-faced Egyptians, who also grovel for American dollars? They are as guilty as the Israelis. Hypocrisy and greed are not in short supply in the Middle East.

Where does Little Barry Obama fit into all of this? The Israelis tried to defeat Obama by using disinformation during the recent campaign, and failed. Now they are trying to destroy his administration and his foreign policy before LBO even takes office. LBO is too stupid to see what Israelis are doing to him, so he luxuriates in his $9 million Hawai'ian bunker and hopes the Israelis will go away. They won’t

Please do not respond to this column by accusing me of being an anti-Semite. I am not. Telling the truth abut Israeli terrorism is not anti-Semitism, it's telling the truth. I do not care for either side in the Middle East. I proffered the Andy Martin Middle East Peace Plan in 2000, and it is still the only comprehensive and rational solution to the controversy.

I have many more Jewish friends than Muslim or Arab ones, and it pains me to have to pain them by writing the unpleasant truths about Israeli terrorism. But with me, the truth comes first. I have no agenda but the truth; Israel has become both a failed state and the most dangerous terrorist state in the world. When did one of George Bush’s “Axis of evil” ever attack civilian populations with American taxpayer-subsidized weapons? Never. America and Israel have become their own worst enemies.

Israel is not an American “ally” in the Middle East; it is the greatest threat to the security of every American anywhere in the world. The people who speak of Israelis as “allies” all have their palms out behind their backs, waiting to be greased with campaign contributions.

Those of you who support Israeli aggression, keep cheering them on. The world is increasingly coming to hate the U.S. and that is exactly what Israeli leaders want. They want Americans to be tarred with the same brush as the monsters in the Israeli government. But, please the next time the U.S. is attacked, don’t ask “why do they hate us?” "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." They hate us because we finance Israeli aggression against helpless and innocent victims.

If you don’t want to read the truth, just don’t read what I have to say. It’s still the truth. If you do read, read it and weep.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUNDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN SAN FRANCISCO

INTERNET POWERHOUSE ANDY MARTIN COMMENTS ON THE GAZA SLAUGHTER AND ISRAEL’S DECLARATION OF WAR ON BARACK OBAMA

PART ONE OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY EXPERT ANDY MARTIN’S FOUR-PART SERIES ON THE NEW MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT

MARTIN SAYS THAT, AS ALWAYS, PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH HAS ADOPTED A FAILED, COUNTERPRODUCTIVE APPROACH TO THE ISRAELI ATTACKS

(SAN FRANCISCO)(December 28, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin will hold a San Francisco news conference today, Sunday, December 28th to provide his analysis of the new Israeli attacks on Gaza. Martin says that although Gazans are being slaughtered, Barack Obama is the real target of the Israeli assault. “Israel has come out into the open and declared war on Obama,” Martin says.

Martin has extensive experience in the Middle East, having been in Israel, Jordan, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. He served as a Baghdad Bureau Chief and was a strong opponent of the 2003 invasion.

“The week between Christmas and New Year’s is traditionally a quiet one, which is why I made good on promises to launch our National Conversation on Obama on the West Coast this week,” Martin says. “Frankly, I am surprised that Israel has chosen now to declare war on Barack Obama. I am scrambling to get back to New York on December 31st.

“This is the week that the real world intruded on Barack Obama’s ‘fantasy island’ vacation in Hawai’i. Obama has been living in a dream world. Rather appropriately, as Israel was attacking Gaza, the lights also went out across Oahu. Coincidence?

“This is the week reality also intruded in the Middle East. Arab nations and Muslim nations have been expecting a ‘new deal’ from Obama (see Part Two, San Diego, below). The ‘new deal’ is dead. Attitudes are going to harden overnight. Israel’s Ehud Barack says he wants a ‘fight.’ He may get it. Just not where he wants it.

“Obama will be seen as impotent in the face of Israeli bombs and aggression. Obama’s White House is supposed to be run by a pro-Israel champion, Rahm Emanuel.

“The claim that Israel was ‘responding’ to Hamas is disingenuous and inaccurate,” Martin says. “Both sides have been provoking each other. Israel has blockaded the people of Gaza for years and tried to starve them into submission. Israel never ‘withdrew;’ Gaza has continued to be under siege on land, in the air and at sea.

“Both sides are pursuing failed policies. Israel has tried to destroy Gaza and Hamas, and has failed miserably. Hamas is stronger today, perhaps because Hamas was originally a creation of Israeli domestic intelligence (Shin Bet). Likewise, Hamas’ rockets have not achieved any great results. But the new killing will only undermine Israel and strengthen Hamas. I would not be surprised to see Hizballah chime in with attacks on Israel’s northern border.

“The claim by President Bush that Hamas ‘broke the ceasefire’ is also inaccurate and unbalanced. Israel has been conducting attacks and repeatedly violated the cease fire. Both sides were negotiating in Egypt to renew the ceasefire. As a result, Egypt is now humiliated.

“By failing to condemn the indiscriminate murder of civilians, President Bush has ensured that he will leave office in disgrace as a helpless, pitiful pygmy in Middle East politics. Eight years, wasted.

“U. S. policy and Israeli policy is exactly backwards. Instead of trying to isolate Hamas, our policy should be to engage them, to open all barriers, so that the people of Gaza are free to travel and conduct commerce. I don’t know which Israeli politician expects to gain politically from the latest mayhem, but in the long run the Israeli people are being led to disaster by increasingly radical governments that are out of touch with reality.

“Five years ago in opposing the attack on Iraq I predicted that Israel would be the big loser. Five years later, I have been proven correct. Iran has been strengthened, not weakened, by the American removal of Saddam Hussein. Israel’s regional position is deteriorating, not strengthening. Many opportunities for peace have tragically been ignored. Remember when Israel and the U. S. said peace would come after Arafat died? How many years has Arafat been gone? The West Bank? Another coming disaster, on Obama’s watch. The ‘Israel lobby’ may be able to intimidate Congress, but it is impotent to influence the Middle East. Condo ‘This Condo Should be Condemned’ Rice has proven useless and incompetent.

“This week Gazan blood has been shed. It is only a matter of time before Israel also pays the price in blood. These are rational polices for the United States to pursue or support? In our four-part series we will analyze and evaluate the next four or eight years of conflict and confrontation in the Middle East. Those who hoped for peace and progress are likely to be bitterly disappointed. Israel’s attacks on Gaza potentially endanger not only every Israeli but every American as well. American taxpayers are subsidizing the purchase of Israeli’s instruments of death and destruction. We are equally culpable. And we wonder why they hate us.

“Is Rahm Emanuel going to be the one to impose reason on Israel? No way. Indeed, Emmanuel may find himself the first casualty of the Israeli attacks. Emanuel’s position as chief of staff has now become untenable (see Part Four, New York).

“Mr. Obama, welcome to the real world, where big boys play with live bombs and real people die, where politicians make real decisions, usually bad ones. The make-believe world of presidential campaigning ended December 27th,” Martin states. “Hurry home.

“Israel has declared war on Barack Obama. He is the real target of Saturday’s attacks. How will Obama respond? I am not optimistic.”
