Israel's UN ambassador calls Jimmy Carter 'a bigot'

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday called former President Jimmy Carter "a bigot" for meeting with the leader of the militant Hamas movement in Syria.

Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, "went to the region with soiled hands and came back with bloody hands after shaking the hand of Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas," Ambassador Dan Gillerman told a luncheon briefing for reporters.

The diplomat was questioned about problems facing his country during a wide-ranging discussion with reporters lasting more than an hour. The briefing was sponsored by The Israel Project, a Washington-based, media-oriented advocacy group.

Twilight Zone / Homeward, bound

By Gideon Levy

Excerpts

At the end of the day, after two grueling weeks of work, the tile-layer Sami Huatra went home. Sami renovates villas belonging to Jews in the upscale Be'er Sheva suburb of Meitar. While working there, he lives in hiding in the nearby Bedouin settlement of Hura, sleeping in a container, and every two or three weeks sneaks back to his home in the village of Wadi al-Shajana in the southern Hebron hills. A bachelor of 29, he lives with his elderly parents; the other family members are citizens of Israel. In 1948, the hand of fate tore apart this Bedouin family, leaving it divided between Israel and the West Bank. Sami provides for his parents by working illegally in Israel, like many others. His salary of NIS 6,000 a month is considered a fortune.

On the morning of Thursday, March 6, Sami woke up in his container and went to work in Meitar. At the end of the day he set out for home. He doesn't go home often, because the journey there and back is costly and dangerous. He has been going back and forth for years without being caught. Sami says he knows how to elude the police and Border Police units that hunt the shabahim - the Hebrew acronym for those who are "illegally present" in Israel. He shares the container with a worker from the town of Dahariya, adjacent to Hebron, each paying NIS 500 a month for this dubious shelter in the Bedouin village. Sami started the journey home, part of which entails crossing hills, at 4 P.M. An Israeli car dropped him at Ramadin, a Bedouin village seven kilometers southwest of Dahariya; from there he proceeded on foot until he got a taxi from Dahariya to his village. There are two possible routes: one longer and safer, the other shorter and more dangerous, where soldiers sometimes lie in ambush. Sami, exhausted, chose the shorter way.

In the midst of cursing, the soldier suddenly - and without any warning, according to Sami - shot him twice. Two shots, in rapid succession, into the groin. Soldier and tile-layer were no more than five meters apart. Sami collapsed onto the ground. The soldier walked over to him, put his rifle up against his head and shouted, "Why are you walking here?" as Sami's blood stained the soil. Writhing with pain, Sami tried to explain to the soldier that he had not thrown stones and that all he wanted was to get home safely: "I was coming home from work and I didn't know you were here." The incident occurred a few dozen meters from Sami's home, next to his neighbors' place. Within a short time, five more soldiers materialized from behind the trees. Sami heard the officer ask the soldier, "Why did you shoot him?" Looking at Sami's ID card, the soldiers discovered that he was 29, hardly the age of stone-throwers. Throughout, Sami lay on the ground, fully conscious and bleeding. About 15 minutes later, a military paramedic or physician arrived. He asked the soldiers why they had not given Sami first aid. They replied that they did not have first-aid equipment. The paramedic/doctor staunched the bleeding and dressed the wounds. Sami was taken in a military ambulance to the Meitar checkpoint, from where a Magen David Adom ambulance took him to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva.

For a week, Sami Huatra lay in Soroka's Orthopedic Department handcuffed and bound, watched over by two soldiers and denied visits from relatives. Neither his aged parents, with whom he lives, nor his siblings or other family members from the Negev were allowed in. During his hospitalization, he was interrogated by an IDF officer, who told him at the conclusion of the questioning: "We are convinced that you are not a terrorist, and therefore we will release you." After a week the handcuffs were removed and the guards disappeared, and three days later he was released. The release letter, signed by Dr. Oren Zvieli, states: "Aged 29, brought to ER by the security forces after being shot in left thigh. Transferred to our department after surgery on open break in left femur and after binding of bleeding blood vessels ... Is not volunteering information on the details of the incident ... Started mobile physiotherapy, without stepping on the operated leg, in the department with the aid of a walker ... Being released back to the security forces and follow-up."

Sami now lies on his side in his meager, shabby home, on an unmade steel bed. He finds it very difficult to get up. It has been a month and a half since he was shot, and he is still unable to stand on his feet. His old father lies beside him on the mattress, in the only room of the house. An x-ray shows the pin that was inserted in his thigh. His brothers arrive daily to carry him to the physiotherapy clinic in Dahariya. He wears a sport shirt with the inscription, "Ramadan Futsal Tournament for adults, 2005. Hura Local Council." His face is ashen, his body lean and fragile. It's hard, he says. "It means lifelong troubles," murmurs the tile-layer from Wadi al-Shajana, who only wanted to get home safely.

That Ambassador Gillerman has called Nobel Prize Laureate and former President Carter a bigot cannot surprise anyone.  

He had the audacity to make this statement about the UN when it did not follow the Zionist bidding:  "The inmates have taken over the asylum".  He was censored for that, and the meeting was interrupted, but he still remains the Israeli ambassador to the UN whilst the person who had the courage to stand up to him may have lost his job, I do not know.  

Aggressiveness has always been the foundation of Israel's foreign policy, and as an example General Moshe Dayan advised:  

"Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother."

So this is well founded in the Israeli rabies inspired foreign policy.

The relationship between the US and Israel is commonly described as "special".  It is actually more than special, it is outright perverse:  In a normal worldly relationship there is reciprocity, but not here:  The US gives in blanc endorsements to Israeli policy irrespective of its breach of UN resolutions and basic human rights.  It finances illegal settlements, it compensates families for the inconvenience of being moved from one illegal settlement to another and it commits to the "defense" of Israel also when it is Israel itself which starts the hostilities.

Has the US secured friendship from the Israelis in return?  If you do not know the answer you should spend a few minutes to read the letters to the editor of Haaretz.  You are not likely to find any expression of gratutide for the US support.  On the contrary, you will find sickening venom directed at the US as well as the rest of the world:  The Israelis perceive everybody as enemies and do not even contemplate to have friends:  Its one and only gospel is that of hatred and contempt. My personal feeling is that those who bend over backwards for Israel are respected even less than the rest of the Goyim "cattle".  

The US has made a pariah of itself in the international community, it has removed itself from humanity by committing entirely to serving "The Synagogue of Satan" bringing its own survival at risk.

What does it receive from Israel for this "special relationship"?  It is spied upon, its military secrets are sold to its enemies and its entire political establishment and court system have been subjected to Zionist corruption and intimidation.  If anyone dares to raise his or her head in indignation and in an honest attempt to protect US interests that person will immediately be called an "anti Semite" or worse. 

The treatment of President Carter shows that there is nobody in the US who can feel safe not to be drawn into the gutter by these people.

I reject the notion that the present US presidential candidates, who are all on the Haaretz list ranking the candidates according to how good they may be for Israel, have prostituted themselves just for the Shekels they may be paid by the Zionists (as a tiny kickback of the money paid to Israel by US tax payers).  There must be serious blackmail involved as well and that should be investigated by the courts and appropriate sentences be handed down on the politicians who are found guilty of treason. 

What about making a ranking list of presidential candidates according to their capacity and commitment to serve the interests of the US?  It may sound outlandish in the present situation but after all that is not entirely irrelevant! 

It may have to be done in the blogosphere initially as the MSM in effect are Zionist controlled areas.  My hope is that a free US press will eventually emerge.

The Soviet people eventually got their freedom back, so the same should be possible for the Americans!

How novel... :O)

"There must be serious blackmail involved as well and that should be investigated by the courts and appropriate sentences be handed down on the politicians who are found guilty of treason."

There might be blackmail involved, but it might be just a bunch of craven and immoral cowards who have managed to slither their way into politics.

If a truly serious investigaton was done on the US Congress, about 90% of them would wind up indicted for various schemes to defraud and enrich themselves at the same time, selling out their country.

That most of them are whores for Israel is a given, what isn't a given is how, short of armed revolution, We the People are supposed to rid our nation of these Zionist carpet-baggers.

Pollard prosecutor: Spy arrest shows Israel lied to US

Pollard prosecutor Joseph E. DiGenova slams Israel, says Kadish arrest shows 'this was much larger espionage operation with sleeper cells in the United States than we understood or could have known at the time'

Associated Press

The arrest of Ben-Ami Kadish, accused of passing US military secrets to the same handler as convicted spy Jonathan Pollard , confirms that the espionage ring was larger than previously believed and that the Israelis lied about it, a former US prosecutor says.

"The similarities are quite eerie," said Joseph E. DiGenova, the US attorney who oversaw the 1980s-era Pentagon spy scandal that ensnared Pollard. "This was a much larger espionage operation with sleeper cells in the United States than we understood or could have known at the time," DiGenova said.

Citing court papers, DiGenova said Pollard's handler, Yosef Yagur, used the same methods with Kadish that he did with Pollard, finding a US Citizen with security clearance to take classified materials from the workplace and letting him copy them.
