Worcester City Council has released the following rather terse statement following the Twinning Association decision not to twin with Gaza City we reported on earlier today:
"The Council would like to thank the City of Worcester Twinning Association for considering the recent proposal that has been put to them.A defeat for humanitarianism - but at least the Viva Palestina convoy got through, despite all the struggle and shenanigans along the way.
"We note the outcome of the Twinning Association's discussions and therefore have no plans to progress this matter further."
Pretty simple Gaza=Hamas=Terrorism. If the proposal had been from Palestians who at least recognise Israel - fair enough. But no , they want to twin with Hamas , a bunch a islamic fundamentalists - who ( in case people forget) were killing they own kind ( FATAH) just a few months ago. -FATAH , yes , Hamas - just killers
ReplyDeleteHamas - killers? Since when?
ReplyDeleteFor too many years our Israel-adoring politicians and government ministers have shamed us with their failure to stand up straight for justice in the Holy Land. Even those who claim to speak with God have endorsed Israeli oppression and supported the Zionists’ lust for land and racial supremacy.
ReplyDeleteThey have ignored the human rights of the Palestinians that are enshrined in solemn declarations signed by all civilized nations. In particular they have refused to acknowledge the Palestinians' right of self-determination and rudely reject their democratic choice of government. Like spiteful children, they impose sanctions and inflict collective punishment. They even stir up trouble by backing Hamas's defeated rivals in a bid to saddle the population with an illegitimate, unconstitutional ruling faction that can be counted on to comply with US-Israeli demands.
If Worcester City Council were in charge of Britain, I like to think that we would not have been joined at the hip with one vile US administration after another, and we wouldn't have been dragged into neo-conservative wars on behalf of Israel.
We would have taken the precaution of firewalling ourselves against infection from America's poxed financial institutions.
We would be trading happily with the Muslim world instead of conniving with the European Union to grant undeserved advantages to Zionist business interests. We would not have bestowed a knighthood on the Israeli regime’s bloodthirsty president; and long ago all those connected with the Israel lobby would have been expelled from Westminster as agents of a foreign power.
The Royal Navy, instead of lurking in the Gulf, would now be patrolling the Gaza coast, guaranteeing freedom of the seas to Gazan fishermen and merchant and passenger shipping wishing to do business in Palestine.
The British army, instead of being bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan, would be in Gaza constructing the seaport and reinstating the airport, so that people could visit their friends without running the humiliating gauntlet of Israel's neurotic security apparatus and businessmen could develop the seaside enclave's vital import-export trade.
Why should Britain take a lead? Because for 90 years the British political establishment, starting with that crackpot Zionist convert Lord Balfour and the prime minister at the time, David Lloyd-George (who worked for the Zionists), has consistently betrayed and double-crossed the Palestinians. It was Britain, first as the occupying power then as the mandated government, which paved the way for a Zionist takeover.
And it was Balfour who wrote: "In Palestine we do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country."
Reparation is long overdue.
