"I like this violence": US envoy on Gaza crisis
By Paul Woodward, War in Context, June 13, 2007
It is often assumed that "men of violence" always wear masks and brandish weapons, but those who stand on the sidelines and cheer the fight are also men of violence, none more so than Assistant Secretary of State and US Envoy to the Middle East, David Welch.
"I like the violence" -- these were Welch's words when fighting erupted between Hamas and Fatah in Gaza earlier this year. Welch may be in a less celebratory mood right now, but not because the violence is worse -- simply because his side (a small faction inside Fatah) is losing.
The fact that the Bush administration has been instrumental in trying to foment a Palestinian civil war has been clearly documented by Conflicts Forum, but since the press in Washington has been too timid to dig in to this story, it has largely been ignored.
But now Conflicts Forum's accusations are backed up by a diplomat of the highest rank. Just-retired UN coordinator for the Middle East, Alvaro de Soto, wrote the following in May, 2007, in a confidential report [PDF] addressed to Ban Ki-Moon, UN secretary-general:
...the US clearly pushed for a confrontation between Fateh and Hamas -- so much so that, a week before Mecca, the US envoy declared twice in an envoys meeting in Washington how much "I like this violence", referring to the near-civil war that was erupting in Gaza in which civilians were being regularly killed and injured, because "it means that other Palestinians are resisting Hamas".
Today, a State Department spokesman said:
We have called on others in the region to express their support for President Abbas and those Palestinian moderate political elements who have foresworn the use of violence and who have an interest in reaching a political settlement with Israel via the negotiating table and we're going to continue to support those elements and we're going to continue to support President Abbas.
Yet clearly, envoy Welch has far less interest in who foreswears the use of violence than who wins. And what seems remarkable is that Welch would shamelessly display his credentials as a man of violence in the company of those who would take offense at his blood thirst.

Fox News claims responsibility for mosque attack
and this sickening display of warmongering is just confirming that US and the rest of Zionist pigs are behind sectarian violence in Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan and I bet they were behind Chechnia's so called jihadist uprising. Now we see clearly what war on terror is all about. They are set to destroy any country or group who dares to dissent from their NWO plans. Verily who rules by the sword will die by the sword. Arab world is full of hypocrites and ignoramuses who will actually play that self destructing game orchestrated by the Zionist pigs.
"Let there be Light!"
"The creatures outside looked from pig to zionist, and from zionist to pig, and from pig to zionist again; but already it was impossible to say which was which".
... while monkeys sigh with relief.
