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?

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.
