Video of UK Jewish MP: Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza Video of UK Jewish MP: Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza from Rabble, January 20, 2009.
Sir Gerald Kaufman, the veteran Labour MP, yesterday compared the actions of Israeli troops in Gaza to the Nazis who forced his family to flee Poland.
During a Commons debate on the fighting in Gaza, he urged the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel.
Sir Gerald, who was brought up as an orthodox Jew and Zionist, said: "My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town a German soldier shot her dead in her bed."
"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza. The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt from gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians."
He said the claim that many of the Palestinian victims were militants "was the reply of the Nazi" and added: "I suppose the Jews fighting for their lives in the Warsaw ghetto could have been dismissed as militants."
He accused the Israeli government of seeking "conquest" and added: "They are not simply war criminals, they are fools."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMGuYjt6CP8
Poslka Rosja American Unia Obama Dr hab. Mieczyslaw Ryba
Światowy ład w wizji amerykańskich Demokratów
Dr hab. Mieczysław Ryba
Zbigniew Brzeziński, amerykański politolog, były doradca prezydenta Cartera, stara się pokazać główne wyzwania amerykańskiej polityki zagranicznej po objęciu prezydentury przez Baracka Obamę. Słowa Brzezińskiego mają wyjątkowe znaczenie z tego powodu, że od lat był on związany z Partią Demokratyczną i wywierał znaczny wpływ na kierunki amerykańskiej polityki lansowanej przez ten obóz polityczny. Dziś Brzeziński postuluje powrót USA do sposobu uprawiania polityki z czasów prezydentury Billa Clintona. Co to oznacza dla świata i dla Polski?
Wprawdzie Brzeziński gani Francję i Niemcy za ich postawę w czasie wojny irackiej, jednakże postuluje potrzebę ponownego porozumienia. Apeluje o "przywrócenie poczucia wspólnego celu Ameryki i Europy (a konkretniej USA i Unii Europejskiej), a także wspólnego celu państw zrzeszonych w NATO". Brzeziński nie pozostawia złudzeń, co rozumie pod pojęciem "Unia Europejska". Oczywiście nie chodzi mu o wejście w jakiś większy związek z państwami mniejszymi, lecz dużymi, tymi, które budują współczesne superpaństwo europejskie. Twierdzi wręcz, że brak pełnej instytucjonalnej jedności europejskiej może utrudniać Amerykanom rzeczowy dialog transatlantycki. Można by zatem wnioskować, iż Stany Zjednoczone pod nowym kierownictwem chciałyby po prostu wesprzeć ideę przyspieszonej europejskiej integracji, zmierzającej do ujednolicenia polityki zagranicznej. Dodajmy, że w tym właśnie kierunku idzie traktat lizboński. Wielu komentatorów zauważyło, że referendum irlandzkie m.in. dlatego zakończyło się klęską europejskich federalistów, iż w sposób nieformalny eurosceptyków wsparły środowiska amerykańskie. Jasna deklaracja poparcia przez Waszyngton budowy superpaństwa w Europie z pewnością ułatwiłaby unioentuzjastom realizację ich centralistycznych celów. Brzeziński w wywiadzie dla "Wprost" (4-11.01.2009) mówi, że na chwilę obecną chodzi o dialog między USA a trzema europejskimi państwami: Wielką Brytanią, Niemcami oraz Francją. O ile Wielka Brytania jest niejako tradycyjnie reprezentantką interesów Ameryki w Europie, o tyle Francja i Niemcy są głównymi motorami napędowymi europejskiej integracji, które miałyby przejąć realne rządy w nowo powstającym sfederowanym państwie europejskim. Brzeziński oczekuje, iż kraje te zbudują wspólną politykę zagraniczną. Czytamy: "Kiedy już europejska triada ustali wspólny cel strategiczny, Ameryka będzie słuchać. A Stany Zjednoczone wraz z Unią Europejską, wytwarzając w sumie ponad połowę światowego PKB, będą dysponowały olbrzymią potęgą, pozwalającą wpływać na sytuację na świecie w sposób odpowiedzialny i wywoływać pozytywne zmiany". Taki układ miałby być podstawą do "globalnego zarządzania". Oczywiście owo globalne zarządzanie wymaga uczestnictwa przynajmniej jeszcze kilku światowych graczy w Eurazji, tj. Chin, Rosji, Japonii oraz Indii. Ważne słowa Brzezińskiego dotyczą Rosji: "Zaangażowanie Rosji leży w interesie Stanów Zjednoczonych i państw europejskich ze względu na ogólniejsze zamierzenia strategiczne, a także z powodu bardziej lokalnych, europejskich problemów geopolitycznych". Brzeziński krytykuje nierozliczenie się Rosjan z komunizmem, ale wyraża jednocześnie nadzieję, że ostatnie trudne rosyjskie doświadczenia gospodarcze mogą ten kraj wiele nauczyć. Jeśli weźmiemy pod uwagę słowa Zbigniewa Brzezińskiego jako reprezentatywne dla środowiska otaczającego Baracka Obamę, to śmiało można potwierdzić, że szykuje nam się rzeczywisty powrót USA do polityki czasów Billa Clintona. W polityce tej w Eurazji naczelną rolę odgrywała Unia Europejska, a w Unii Niemcy. Polska wpisana była w kontekst polityki niemieckiej, którą Brzeziński w "Wielkiej szachownicy" określił mianem nowego projektu budowy Mitteleuropy. Stosunek amerykańskiego politologa do Rosji potwierdza moje niedawne analizy dotyczące perspektywy strategicznego porozumienia Waszyngtonu z Moskwą. Napięcia, jakie się pojawiły w ostatnim czasie (m.in. wojna w Gruzji), miałyby zostać usunięte, szczególnie w sytuacji, gdy Rosja odczuła dziś mocną zależność od gospodarki globalnej (kryzys finansowy), sterowanej w dużej mierze z Wall Street. Rosja jest potrzebna Stanom Zjednoczonym do bilansowania siły Chin oraz Iranu, tak więc ostatnie zmagania amerykańsko-rosyjskie można by raczej nazwać mianem określania granic wpływów, a nie strategicznego konfliktu dwóch mocarstw. W tej sytuacji polskie marzenia o wyrwaniu z rąk rosyjskich kolejnych państw posowieckich (Ukraina, Białoruś, Gruzja itp.) przy wykorzystaniu poparcia USA mogą się okazać wielką mrzonką. Opieranie zaś polskiej polityki zagranicznej na mrzonkach jest nie tylko stratą cennego czasu, lecz nieroztropnością narażającą nas na kolejne niepotrzebne konflikty w sytuacji, gdy trzeba się samemu wzmacniać gospodarczo i politycznie, i to w sposób przyspieszony. Tymczasem nie chodzi tylko o pozytywny dziś stosunek USA do układu Paryż - Berlin - Moskwa, co na podstawie powyższych konstatacji można uznać za rzecz bardzo prawdopodobną, lecz o amerykańską wizję miejsca środkowej Europy w Unii Europejskiej. Wizyta Baracka Obamy w Berlinie w trakcie prezydenckiej kampanii i pominięcie Warszawy powinny nam wiele mówić. Brak wsparcia amerykańskiego dla ratowania wypłukiwanej suwerenności Europy Środkowej może być w zmaganiach wewnątrzunijnych rozstrzygający. Polityka polska powinna więc bardzo szybko szukać wewnątrzeuropejskich koalicji, dzięki którym można by przetrwać okres dekoniunktury w stosunkach międzynarodowych. Możemy wszak mieć w niedługim czasie do czynienia ze znaczącym obniżeniem pozycji Polski w Europie i świecie. Zatem obrona suwerenności powinna przede wszystkim dotyczyć traktatu lizbońskiego i jego politycznych skutków. Prezydencja czeska, przy bardzo rozsądnej postawie Vaclawa Klausa, jest pewną szansą na zbliżenie się Polski do południowego sąsiada i nakreślenie strategii wspólnych działań defensywnych. Powtórzę to jeszcze raz: w tej chwili jest nam o wiele bardziej potrzebna solidarność środkowoeuropejska wewnątrz Unii niż z krajami posowieckimi. Ze względu na nasze współczesne (!) geopolityczne położenie między Bugiem a Odrą i Nysą Łużycką większe wyzwania (czytaj: uzależnienia) czekają nas z kierunku brukselskiego niż z kierunku wschodniego. Nie zapominajmy, że jesteśmy dziś członkiem Unii Europejskiej, a nie Wspólnoty Niepodległych Państw. Oczywiście można zbagatelizować słowa Zbigniewa Brzezińskiego. Można uznać, że jego wpływ na amerykańską politykę jest żaden. Oby się jednak w niedługim czasie nie okazało, iż przeżywać będziemy potężne rozczarowanie, wciąż zapatrzeni we wschodnie projekty i coraz bardziej przerażeni naszą marginalizacją w Unii Europejskiej.
You want to stop terrorism do not participate in it.when you occupy land of the Palestinian they have all the right to rezist. Like Polish peole rezist Hitler and Stallin It is time we all stood up to the liars in our media and in our congress, senate and in the White House and say, No more, no more—Israel must stop this barbarism, this Hitlerian behavior or must be condemned and cut off from any aid from the United States and its allies in the world. If we do any less, then we are complicituous in this new holocaust, and no parades, moral duty to stand up and demand this stop.

Israel to Get $30bn US Defense Aid
RAMALLAH/GAZA CITY, 30 July 2007 — Prime Minister Ehud Olmert yesterday announced a new $30 billion US defense aid package to preserve Israel’s regional military superiority, as he appreciated Washington’s wishes to boost moderate Arab states through weapons sales.
“This is an increase of 25 percent for the military aid to Israel from the United States. I think this is a significant and important increase in defense aid to Israel,” Olmert said at the opening of the weekly Israeli Cabinet meeting.
Olmert added that the aid package was offered during his meeting with US President George W. Bush in Washington on June 20.
“This would mean a lot to Israel’s security, and this is a good opportunity to thank President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,” Olmert said.
Other Israeli ministers stressed during the Cabinet meeting Israel’s need to secure its “quality advantage” over its neighbors in the Mideast and the US’ major role in maintaining this advantage.
“Defense aid to Israel is still a top priority for the United States,” Olmert told the Cabinet, adding that Israel enjoys more financial assistance than other countries in the Middle East.
“We have renewed agreements and a renewed commitment from the Americans that would help preserve our advantage over the Arab countries,” Olmert said, referring to reports by the New York Times and the Washington Post that the US is mulling a $20 billion arms deal with Gulf states and increasing military aid to Egypt to $13 billion over 10 years.
The deal with Gulf states includes advanced satellite-guided bombs, upgrades to their fighter jets and new naval vessels. It has reportedly raised concerns in Israel and among its supporters in the Congress. However, Olmert said that Israel fully understood the US’ need to support the moderate states in the region.
“We understand the US’ need to assist the moderate Arab states, which are standing in one front with the United States and us in the struggle against Iran,” Olmert said, referring to its nuclear program.
Israeli security officials called the increase in military aid “an unusual achievement.”
According to Israeli diplomatic sources, the final details about the new aid package to the Jewish state will be worked out during the visit by US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns to the region, adding that his visit is slated for mid-August.
US defense aid to Israel began in 1973 but a regular 10-year aid plan — with the previous one expiring this summer — was institutionalized in 1977 as part of the Egypt-Israel peace agreement, the official said.
The military aid is made up of 75 percent US military hardware, ranging from ammunition to warplanes, with the other 25 percent in cash, which goes mainly toward securing new Israeli-made weapons.
Support Our Allies - They Support Us? "...For Your Freedom and Ours..." Gen. T. Kosciuszko (Poland and America's Patriot) POLAND IS GETTING ONLY 25-40 $ MILLIONS per year
- Poland sent combat troops to Iraq, Afghanistan , Kosovo, Panama, Haiti, Polish Army's Peacekeepers in Golan Heights, Americans during the war. - Polish troops are responsible for security in 1 of the 4 zones in Iraq - 20,000 soldiers from 17 countries served under Polish command Poland sent its elite commando unit, GROM, which means thunder. It helped secure the port at Umm Qasr, which was vital to delivering aid to Iraq. The unit also secured nearby oil platforms before they could be sabotaged.
In the first Gulf War, Polish intelligence officers snuck into Iraq to rescue a group of CIA operatives trapped behind enemy lines.
Poland's secret agents disguised CIA agents as Polish construction workers and smuggled them out of Baghdad. This was not the first time Polish soldiers risked their lives for our freedom. Generals Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kosciuszko were two of the first foreigners to fight in the American Revolution. Kosciuszko designed and oversaw the construction of West Point. After that, he returned to Poland, where he led a democratic uprising. As a result of that fight, Poland had the first written democratic constitution in Europe, second in the world only to the U.S.

New US military aid to Israel and the Lieberman-Kyl amendment bring the US closer to war with Iran, say Greens GREEN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES http://www.gp.org

Greens: Bush has no credibility on Iran, but Democrats and Republicans are lining up behind Bush's next military disaster
WASHINGTON, DC -- Green Party leaders strongly cautioned that the combination of a $30 billion military aid package for Israel and growing threat of a US or US-backed Israeli attack on Iran could trigger a major regional conflagration in the Middle East.
"There's little doubt that the $30 billion in US taxpayers money sent to Israel will be used for two things: to maintain Israel's illegal and murderous military occupation of Palestinian lands, and to prepare for a military assault on Iran," said Paul "zool" Zulkowitz, a member of the Green Party's Peace Action Committee (GPAX). "The new military aid for Israel and the Lieberman-Kyl amendment, passed on September 26 with strong bipartisan support, have brought the the US closer to war with Iran."
Greens stressed that White House claims that Iran is assisting Shiite militias in Iraq and plans to produce nuclear weapons for possible use against Israel or western nations have been contested. Iran has denied such intentions; Greens noted that such use would amount to suicide for Iran.
"The Bush Administration, after its deceptive rationales for invading Iraq, should have no credibility on Iran or any other foreign policy," said Justine McCabe, Connecticut Green and co-chair of the party's International Committee. "Unfortunately, Democrats -- especially presidential candidates like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- have signed on to the AIPAC-Neocon-Republican line that an attack on Iran is 'not off the table.' If a global war starts because Bush ordered an attack, it'll be a bipartisan disaster, like the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the continuing Middle East crisis."
In one scenario, confirmed by Newsweek, Vice President Cheney considered asking Israel to launch a missile attack either on a nuclear power site in Natanz, Iran, or on an alleged Syrian-Iranian-North Korean nuclear installation in northern Syria, which might result in a retaliatory strike that would motivate a larger US military assault on Iran. Israel has already launched an air strike on the suspected Syrian site in September.
"The Lieberman-Kyl amendment designates Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a 'foreign terrorist organization.' The amendment makes the Iran military a target in President Bush's 'war on terror.' This is a major step towards a military confrontation with Iran, whether the attack comes from the US or Israel or both," said John V. Walsh, delegate from the Massachusetts Green-Rainbow Party to the Green Party's National Committee.
The Green Party has called for an international effort towards nuclear disarmament of all Middle Eastern and western Asian nations, including Israel and Pakistan, which are known to possess nuclear weapons, as part of a greater global nuclear disarmament project. Greens have called the Bush Administration hypocritical for condemning Iran while expanding US nuclear weapons programs and after removing the US from antinuclear treaties. The party has called for the US to rejoin the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and eliminate American nuclear weapons. Greens have also accused the Bush Administration of squandering pro-US sentiment that exists among many Iranians in its attempt to vilify their country.
The Green Party has sharply criticized both Democrats and Republicans for maintaining support for Israel's six-decades-long violations of civilian human rights and bowing to the demands of AIPAC and certain Christian rightwing lobbies that the US endorse the Israeli government's military ambitions and ethnic policies. (Israel has placed the Gaza Strip under siege and threatens to cut off water and fuel supplies, to punish civilians over rocket attacks launched by militias.)
The Green Party calls for negotiation by both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; a cut-off in US military aid to Israel; and an economic boycott of Israel until the latter recognizes full human rights, including the right of return for Palestinians and abolition of internal apartheid laws. Greens have called for support for Israeli and Palestinian groups seeking peaceful resolution, observance of human rights, and a halt to all violence and coercion directed against civilians.
