Yesterday was Israel’s 60th birthday. Unfortunately for all the planned festivities few wished to attend, and who could blame them? What thinking person feels like attending the birthday party of a violent and spoiled brat with a reactive attachment disorder? (See list of symptoms here) This Damian spawn of the Great Satan (hey don’t bitch: We’ve earned the epithet in spades) who runs amok with Daddy’s credit card ($3 BILLION a year!) and demands that Daddy beat up and/or ruin the careers of anyone he doesn’t like? Yeah, THAT KID. Didn’t we all know a spoiled brat like that once upon a time? Haven’t we all declined invitations from the neighborhood bully?

Israel at 60: Its my Party and I’ll Cry if I Want to
Celebrations of Israel’s Birthday are not going well in the UK or Israel. Here Ron Prosor, Israel’s Ambassador, got more than a little upset when his Birthday PR plans took a knock as over 100 prominent Jewish Anti-Zionists published an article in the Guardian. He responded “a group such as this …with hate slogans like these – they deserve to be denounced and even ostracized.” He labelled them – including Harold Pinter, Stephen Fry and Mike Marquesee, a “harebrained group trying to spoil our celebration.”
In Israel people are upset with ‘birthday bashers‘ such as myself, angry that Arab Israeli’s refuse to celebrate (threatening them with ethnic cleansing) and dismayed by the ongoing conflict (who wouldn’t be).The following is a great post on how badly the celebrations are going - stolen from the excellent desertpeace blog . . .
Alarmed, radical Zionists sought the help of an internet company called Crisis Communications to clean up its tarnished internet reputation in preparation for it’s big birthday bash. Together they engaged in an earnest dialogue with mercilessly censored and/or smeared Israel’s critics:
“The Israel 60 Birthday Website will combat Palestine, Iran, Nazi and Syria sites which have started to attack Israel’s 60th birthday by enjoying a stronger search engine optimization (SEO) marketing and public relations ranking on Google and appearing throughout the Net using all of the tools of Web 2.0.”
Google tripped over itself burying news sites and weblogs sympathetic to Palestinian points of view. Over the period of a few weeks the following websites (that we know of) experienced denial-of-service attacks, had their blogs removed by Blogger, and/or were removed from the Google news search engine:
Axis of Logic Axis of Logic-Les Blough
Michael Rivero – What Really Happened
Laila El-Haddad- A Mother From Gaza
Marc Parent CRIMES AND CORRUPTIONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS
Layla Anwar-An Arab Woman Blues: Reflections from a Sealed Bottle
Fortunately for Palestine’s journalists and their sympathizers the Blogosphere refused to take this censorship lying down, and the pro-Palestinian voices ironically came out the winner:
(maryitalia) YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS, but who’s blog got “unlocked” today, with no apologies, no explanation? peacepalestine.
I suppose our exposure of their tactics has either made them duck for cover or pretend that they were not censoring! It is quite incredible.
They got a really good deal out of it all. I will post to the Blogger blog: I will post to the WordPress blog, I will post to the full-function site created as a result of the censorship enacted by Google and Blogger. The Zionists got three Pro-Palestinian sites for the price of one. This is another reason that in the end they can’t win.
Never give up!!!

HPS, Why don’t you visit Israel for yourself so you can see first hand how ridiculous you sound? Really, go! It is an amazing place. I’m curious to see how you would propose to solve the complexities Israelis face.

Hi Moodymommy,
I would LOVE to visit Israel, especially those regions where the ADF hasn’t ripped up olive groves and demolished homes to make room for more settlements. In fact Andrew and I have been talking about a trip to Israel since the day that we met. However, I WILL NOT GO so long as that pathocracy that is the Likud Party is trounced soundly by the Good Jews of Israel. Unfortunately they have a long way to go.
Moodymommy I know we corresponded about this before, but let me build upon it for my other readers. Everyone Please: Before you read the rest, understand that I type this in earnest, not with hostility. There is a whole universe of shades of grey we can dance around but at the end of the day there is still RIGHT, and there is still WRONG, and there is nothing ridiculous about pointing it out. EMPHATICALLY.
Much like the Good Germans of WWII did back in the day, when outsiders - in today’s case nonJews - call out the pathological evil of the Israeli government the kneejerk response of many is to stick their fingers in their ears and go “LALALALALALALA YOU MUST BE CRAZY ISRAEL IS A COUNTRY OF PEACE!!!”
It’s almost as if Jews have been conditioned from birth to take anti-Zionist criticism personally; i.e., criticism of Israel-the-Concept or Israel-the-Greater-Entity is a personal insult against the Jewish People. It’s akin to the Neocons saying “Why do you hate America?” when someone criticizes . . . oh, I dunno, the torture Abu Grahib or the insane evil of George Bush’s entire Administration. It’s ten shades of crazy IMHO.
So. Here are the objective truths and real facts that exist in the mind of the thinking people like the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker:
1. It is important to realize that Zionism is not a religion, it is an ideology started in Basel Switzerland in 1896.
2. The knee-jerk defensive reactions of European (Ashkenazi) Jews in the face of anti-Zionist criticism has nothing to do with Judaism the Religion and everything to do with old-world Bolshevik-styled Communism, a time in history when Jews (believe it or not) enjoyed an unusual level of power and privilege (compared to other times in Western history). Consequently, if your Jewish ancestors are Poles/Russians/Hungarians/Lithuanians from the old days of Lenin and Stalin you’ll carry this burden whether you like it or not, at least until you wash your brain with the fresh water of Knowledge, which is as easy as picking up an old, beat-up English dictionary, one that has not been corrupted by Zionist extremists looking to confuse our language, Tower of Babel-style.
What’s this Burden? It’s the mental conflation of Collectivism, Zionism and Judaism. The terms have their own meanings and have little to do with one another, but try and point this out to this insane pathocracy controlling Zionist discourse and you’ll witness a Rumplestiltskin-styled temper tantrum the likes of which you (if you’re lucky) don’t see very often. The “Good Jews” have been trained, Pavlov-style, to react this way, as if someone were pointing a gun to their heads insisting they dance.
3. There are two Israels: The Hell On Earth that the Palestinians and other discriminated-against non-Jews experience, and the Fantasy Israel, the Disneyland Israel, that exists in the minds and lives of the Jewish idealists privileged enough to enjoy it. Who can can blame the Good Jews for preferring Disneyland over a ghetto? Nobody. Heck, if I were on vacation I’d choose Disneyland over a ghetto run by a police state that has Whites Only neighborhoods and deliberately exterminates Arab civilians as so much vermin.
4. It is good to tell the truth, even if it hurts:
a. There is nothing “ridiculous” about pointing out that Disneyland is a corporatist-spawned fantasyland created ONLY for white European Ashkenazi Jews and Christian Zionists.
b. There is nothing “ridiculous” about reporting on all the different ways in which the Zionist Pathocracy has lost the war on public opinion. Not losing, but lost.
c. There is nothing “ridiculous” about calling a spade a spade. The “spade” label goes back to ancient/classical times in the Mediterranean and does not pertain at all to Africans. It means “rotten, lying no-good person.” The phrase pertains to calling out evil when you see it.
“Solving” the complex problem that is Israel can’t be done by non-Jews such as myself, over here in the cheap seats watching this slash-and-gash horror film, unable to avert our eyes because we know it’s really happening. However, stopping the settlements and ending the genocide in Gaza would be a good start for the Israeli government. Just STOP IT already. Why is this so hard for the Likud party to wrap its mind around? Oh wait: It’s NOT hard. The Likudists understand it just fine; they’re just EVIL PATHOGENS sucking the life from humanity, that’s all, and DOING IT ALL IN YOUR NAME. Silly me.
You know what’s ridiculous? Jews taking it lying down, this evil done in their names. Fortunately at least half the Jewish Diaspora “gets it.” The other half still clings to the Disneyland in its mind.

HPS, Jews are not taking it lying down. My temple is specifically PRO PEACE in contrast to being “pro-Israel.” There are plenty of Jews who do not want to see any discrimination whatsoever. The thing is, I do not ever feel qualified to make judgments on who is entitled to what land or whether there should be a “Jewish Homeland” at all. I’m not qualified, because I don’t live there. Although I felt a powerful pull when I visited, I know that I could not handle the everyday stress everyone there endures. Despite all the problems in the USA (your recent points scare the sh-t out of me), we are sooooo lucky just to have been born here. I can’t watch the news at all w/out being thankful for that luck of the draw. I completely admire anyone who chooses to live anywhere in Israel (settlement or not) because they are choosing a life of hardship, tension and constant strife. Believe me, the Jewish people who live there want peace. They want peace so badly that they recently gave away a big chunk of their tiny country away! Unfortunately, the Palestinians don’t seem to have a clear leader and it is difficult to negotiate if you don’t know who to negotiate with. I truly wish the USA would stay out of it all. I really don’t consider it the “democracy” our government claims it to be. There are many other Jews out there who think likewise.
