Here are some stories from Israel: - If the reader searches for the name of Uzi Mahnaimi on Google, he would not find anything about his biography on Wikipedia except that he is a reporter for the London-based The Sunday Times in Israel, and that he has made many ‘scoops'. If a person does a little bit more effort and searches further, he will find that some have accused him of inventing stories, or publishing predictions that never materialized, such as his insistence since 2008 that an Israeli or American attack against Iran is imminent. What I recall is that he once worked for the Mossad, but I did not find this information online. I usually refrain from reading any story with his name under its title. However, The Sunday Times, a paper owned by Rupert Murdoch, chose for its front page headline in its last edition the title: “Israel Fears Iran Attack at Games". I thus read the first paragraph, which attributes the information to Israeli officials, i.e. terrorists, whom Mahnaimi quotes. They say in English that it takes one to know one. Israel is the mother and father of terrorism, yet it speaks about terror which it practices more than any other country in the world, murdering Palestinians in their own country, and its enemies around the world. Israel then wants the Olympics in London to commemorate the “Munich massacre", where German police had killed both the kidnappers and the hostages, while I want the Olympics to commemorate the 1500 Palestinian minors who have been murdered by Israeli terrorism since the second intifada on 29/9/2000. - There are those who are even worse than Mahnaimi and his news stories. From the Israeli press, I chose Tzachi Hanegbi, who was a member of Kadima and who once tried to persuade other members to leave the party and join Likud, in order to destroy the party started by Ariel Sharon. I ask the reader, what is the difference between Likud and Kadima anyway, or between Benjamin Netanyahu and Sharon? There is no difference, and the common trait between them all is terrorism, extremism and occupation. Hanegbi is a liar as determined by Israeli courts themselves, which once convicted him of perjury – while exonerating him of corruption charges he had been accused of. What I remember from his despicable history is that his father and mother were from the terrorist group Lehi – or Stern. In other words, he inherited terrorism from them, and he used to assault Arab students in university, and was once accused of hitting them with bicycle chains. He is a clear example of Israeli terrorism and extremism then. - The other charlatan Benjamin Netanyahu warned against the danger of Syrian chemical weapons, and said that Israel will not sit idly by if Syria transfers these weapons to Hezbollah. Here, the right-wing newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth claimed that Syria has the largest stockpile of chemical weapons in the world (in a story written by three correspondents, published on 23/7). However, this is impossible, and it seems that the intention is to justify an Israeli military intervention against Lebanon or Syria, if things in the latter country evolve in a way that threatens Israel. Personally, I think this is inevitable. The Syrian regime has not fired a single bullet against Israel, and any upcoming regime will include in its ranks Islamist groups that would never sign a peace treaty with Israel on the basis of recognizing it. For this reason, if the regime survives, then it is pro-resistance anyway, and if the regime changes, then the Islamists will come, and they are most welcome. - If the threats against Syria and Hezbollah do not work out, then there is always Iran. Within half an hour from the suicide attack in Bulgaria, Netanyahu was blaming Iran, which means that Iran has nothing to do with it, and also means that the investigation will be surrounded with doubts, as long as the government of Israel has decided in advance that Iran was behind it. Israel even threatened to respond, and all this cannot be seen in isolation from the Iranian nuclear program and Israel's bid to halt it, even if that means that it will be left alone in the Middle East with an enormous nuclear arsenal. - According to Yedioth Ahronoth, which is not so credible, around 200 Germans who died in recent years had given all their money in their wills to Israel, to atone for the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews. The Nazi Germans killed Jews and we paid the price in Palestine, in both our land and our lives, and this continues to this day. For this reason, I believe that the Palestinians have more right to inherit the Germans than a gang of war, occupation and racism that was established on the land of others, on the basis of myths of the Hebrew Bible.
