Yesterday, 10 May 2008, the Palestinian community in Vienna commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Palestinian Naqbah (Catastrophe) of 1948, during which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forcibly deported from their cities and villages, the Zionist Jews massacred civilians at hundreds of villages, and over 500 Palestinian villages were razed to the ground by these same Zionist terrorists.

The Palestinian activities were held at Stephansplatz in the center of Vienna. A tent was erected during the activity, Palestinian flags were raised over and inside the tent, and the history of Al-Naqbah was illustrated with information placards and photos inside the tent. To highlight the fact that the Catastrophe continues for the Palestinians, the situation in Gaza, which Israel has turned into a concentration camp and whose 1.5 million inhabitants have been locked in, left without the basic supplies of food, fuels, electricity, medicines, … about just everything, received special attention.

This commemoration also served to collect signatures and to invite interested members of the public to a follow-up event on 17. May, which has the support of many personalities from Austrian cultural, political and academic life (see link).

It harms my feelings to read or listen the news, or post on my blog, the deplorable daily news from my homeland Hebron. The daily crimes, illegal measures and restrictions which the Israeli military occupation implements against the Palestinians and which are in contradiction of the Geneva Conventions and other International law. The crimes of the Israelis are bigger than my words are able to describe and than what the people are able to understanding.

I asked myself what I could do to stop these crimes, or at least to bring these crimes before the international public opinion. I am a journalist, a peace activist, and a defender of the human rights. I don’t believe in violent actions, intifada, suicide bombers, or in any other kinds of revenge. And neither do I believe in the legality of the occupation and in the right of Israel to exist in my homeland.

The world understands the language of law and justice better than the language of violence. The world thinks that Israel is a State of law, but I know otherwise, just like millions of Palestinians. I read the international laws about war crimes, crimes against humanity, and about genocide. I also read the Geneva Convention. I read the law which Israel passed in 1950 based upon the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide”, which Israel signed.

Great anger was expressed in the Palestinian media after hearing the deplorable news about the capture of two Austrian tourists by some criminals who call themselves “al-Qaida group in Tunisia”, and connecting this criminal action with the murder and crimes against the civilians in Gaza by the Israeli military.

The Palestinians condemn the kidnapping of the Austrian Tourists Wolfgang Ebner and his wife Andrea Kloiber, and they denounce the criminal actions of the so-called “al-Qaida group in Tunisia”, they strongly dispute any connection between what happen to Palestinians under the occupation, and the criminal capture of the innocent Austrian tourists in Tunisia.

Who creates the violence and the terror attacks on Israel, the Zionist regime itself or the charitable organizations? Who is the real terrorist and criminal: the IDF Central Command and its thugs, or the charitable organizations which supply the Palestinian orphans, the poor, and the children of poor families in Hebron?

Does Israel create peace and security for their country with the regime of continued assassinations of political activists, jailing youths, building apartheid walls, increasing the number and brutality of IDF checkpoints, confiscations of lands, murdering children, destroying Palestinian houses and closing the charities by the IDF, or is this regime just yet another one in their long series of criminal actions against humanity which bring shame and scandal to Jews everywhere?

The Israeli military Commander of Hebron Colonel Yehuda Fuchs said that “under our Laws, the military can do whatever they want. And that none of the peace agreements hinder the IDF activities in the occupied cities”. Continue Reading »

On December 8, 2007 I wrote to Karl-Henrik Sjursen, head of the TIPH Mission, to his Secretary, his Deputy, to the Head of TIPH Operations and to the Head of TIPH Logistics regarding the deplorable situation in Hebron and the ethnic cleansing and genocide committed by the Israeli military commander, Colonel Yehuda Fuchs in the old city of Hebron. I also sent the TIPH a link to my Hebron gallery. I wrote them “I would appreciate if you ask your partners, the Israelis and the Palestinians, what they can do to help stopping the ethnic cleansing and Genocide under way in Hebron. I would also appreciate if you could ask your governments, the six countries, to stop fearing Israel and to play an active role in stopping the genocide of Israel in Hebron and the rest of Palestine, and to remove the Israeli lockdown of all of Hebron”.

I have not received any answer or comment about my Email from the TIPH, but some days after I wrote them, the TIPH released an article about roadblocks in Hebron on their own website (www.tiph.org) : “113 roadblocks, closures and checkpoints in Hebron“. The TIPH Head of Mission Karl-Henrik Sjursen said that the TIPH argues with the Israelis that many of these closures should be removed without security being compromised.

Israel was established on stolen Palestinian land under the pretext of freeing Jews from death and persecution, and over 60 years later, Israel continues it’s financial and emotional extortion of the world because of the Holocaust, but what Israel does today, every day, is every bit as immoral, unsightly and filthy as the Holocaust, whose dark memory follows Europe to this day.

Rushing away a dead ...

The deaths from hunger, sickness, and severe cold, the deaths from each of the Israel Air Force massacres, the deaths from shelling and destruction, under the unending closures, boys who bleed to death on the streets, women, elderly and sick persons dying at the illegal checkpoints, the continued terrorism of the IDF soldiers, the never ending lies of the media, the thefts of food and crops, the destruction of all kinds of property, of water, the sowing of water deposits with radioactive garbage from Dimona, the inhuman darkness and callousness of the whole Israeli society, creating a paralyzed and sick generation with deep tensions and the urge for revenge inside, and forcing the nearby Arab countries to take part in this genocide by way of economic threats against their populations, it all combined is far, far more criminal than anything the Nazi regime ever did. Truly, the former victims and their accomplices have not only surpassed their former tormentors in moral abjectness, they have even made those crimes and worse into a way of life, and abject cruelty into the national sport of their so-called “Jewish nation”.
