Not everything is wrong with Spain when it comes about the Jews.

One of the most notorious crimes committed against the Jewish people across History took place here in Spain: the 1492 Alhambra Decree, issued by the Catholic Monarchs, which obliged Spanish Jews to leave the country or to convert to Christianity. It is not exactly known how many had to leave or to convert involuntarily, but descendants of exiled Jews can now receive the Spanish citizenship through a shortener, expedited process.

The Spanish press about the Operation Pillar of Cloud (III).

An article was published by Público under the title Los bombardeos israelíes sobre Gaza se ceban con los niños (The Israeli bombings on Gaza hit the children) on Monday, November 19th, 2012. Such a suggestive title is embellished with another suggestive item: a photograph showing dead Palestinian children. It is explicitly told in the article that the Operation Pillar of Cloud is hitting Gazan children like the Operation Cast Lead did four years ago.

Such a politically motivated, irresponsible use of dead children by part of the Spanish press just sucks.

Meanwhile, Público reported that Lior Hayat, who works for the Israeli Embassy in Madrid, had to cancel a speech at the Carlos III University because his safety couldn't be granted due to the protests held by pro-Palestinian students.

The Spanish press about the Operation Pillar of Cloud (II).

On Tuesday, November 20th, 2012, El País published an article by Ana Carbajosa under the title El sur de Israel pide mano dura (Southern Israel asks for firm hand). This time we can read this:

"Running towards bomb shelters has almost been the only routine in Ashkelon during these days. Here, like in the rest of Southern Israel, life was broken last Wednesday, when the targeted killing of Hamas' military chief started an intense launching of Palestinian rockets. (...) [Ashkelon's] (...) 130,000 inhabitants have been living under the danger posed by rockets for years."

It's easy to observe an inherent contradiction within this paragraph. First it is written that the targeted killing of Ahmed Jabari "started an intense launching of Palestinian rockets" which made the life in Southern Israel to be "broken", when later it is written that Ashkelon residents have been being attacked  with rockets "for years". These two ideas are necessarily incompatible, being only the second the right one.

The Spanish press about the Operation Pillar of Cloud (I).

On Wednesday, November 14th, 2012, the Tzahal began the Operation Pillar of Cloud (also known as Pillar of Defense) through the targeted killing of Ahmed Jabari, who was a key member of Hamas' Izz ad-Din al Qassam Martyrs Brigades; this was in response to rocket and mortar attacks perpetrated by Hamas and other terrorist organizations based on the Gaza Strip during the last years. Israel has been targeting other locations since then, while Palestinian terrorists have been firing more rockets.

Spanish daily El País published an article by its correspondet in Jerusalem, Ana Carbajosa, on Sunday, November 18th, under the title El Ejército israelí golpea a la población civil de la franja de Gaza (The Israeli Army hits the Gaza strip's civilian population). The article contains the photograph of two Palestinian children killed; only in an annexed photogallery pictures of Israeli civilians under fire are also shown. The article also deals with the Israeli strike against a building used both by the press and Hamas itself, but omitting that this Palestinian terrorist organization was present there.

Meanwhile, online newspaper MÁSPúblico has published an article on Monday, November 19th, under the title Los muertos de Gaza tienen nombre (The dead from Gaza have a name). At the moment of writing this article of my own, 84 names of Palestinians killed during the Operation Pillar of Cloud have already been published. MÁSPúblico's article reads that the list will be updated. Not a single Israeli civilian killed is named.

How to incite hatred against Israel even when it comes about the Netherlands.

On Monday, November 5th, 2012, El País published an article about the problems of the new Dutch coalition cabinet (composed of liberals and social democrats), under the title El Gobierno de centroizquierda holandés se estrena con un alza de costes sanitarios (The Dutch centre-left Government makes its debut with a rise in sanitary costs). In the second paragraph is written the following (translated as accurate as possible, between quotation marks):

"The last Dutch centre-right government (in minority), headed by [Mark] Rutte himself, had to hand over the demands made by the xenophobic leader, Geert Wilders, in exchange of his support in the Parliament, and aligning himself with Israel. That produced moments of major embarrasment for a country which has boasted about its tolerance. At the beginning of this year, for example, the Netherlands were the only E.U. member which rejected to address a report concerning the violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians."

One could ask Isabel Ferrer, the author of the article and El País' correspondet to The Hague, why being aligned with Israel prevents a sovereign State like the Netherlands to be still considered a tolerant country; specially when an A.D.L. report published in March 2012 shows that Spain is less tolerant than the Netherlands towards Jews by almost all indicators, as well as the most intolerant country (when compared to Poland, Russia, Germany, France, the U.K. and the United States) towards Jews and muslims, according to a Pew Research Center report published in 2008.

Not in Spanish news: Palestinian rockets hit Israel ahead of the new school year.

The Spanish press didn't hesitate to report about the shelling of the al-Fakhura school in the Gaza Strip during the Operation Cast Lead a few years ago; Matanza en escuelas de la ONU (Massacres at UN schools) is an example of this, a very unfortunate one, by the way, because of its obvious bias against Israel.

But when it comes to Palestinians firing rockets ahead of the new school year in Israel, Spanish mainstream media remains silent.

News bulletin in English on these recent events, here.

Not in Spanish news: refugees with Palestinian backgrounds singled out and rejected by Jordan.

The current civil war in Syria has caused a large humanitarian crisis which includes tens of thousands of refugees fleeing the country. One of the countries bordering Syria is Jordan to the south, so the Hashemite Kingdom is one of those refugees' destinations. Many of those who are fleeing Syria are people with Palestinian backgrounds and, according to a Human Rights Watch report, they're being constantly singled out and rejected by Jordanian authorities, as reported by The Jerusalem Post's Ruth Eglash on Wednesday, July 4th, 2012. Excerpts from the article below:

"(...) The population balance between Jordanians with Palestinian heritage and those without is a contentious issue in the Hashemite Kingdom.

According to the HRW report released on Wednesday, since mid-April Jordanian authorities have been singling out Syrians of Palestinian origin, sending them to holding facilities in or around the town of Ramtha. In the meantime, other Syrian refugees have been allowed to move freely in Jordan if they have a local guarantor."

When Israel rejects a hypothetical Palestinian return to the Jewish State due to the demographic threat it objectively represents, Israel is labelled as "racist". But when the country which rejects Palestinians under the same premise (i.e., a demographic threat) is not Israel, then there is no reason to report about it.

At least, not here in Spain.

Palestinian prisoners in... Palestine?

On Monday, May 7th, 2012, El País published an article by Ana Carbajosa under the title Israel deniega la excarcelación a dos presos palestinos al borde de la muerte (Israel rejects to release two almost dead Palestinian prisoners). Excerpts from the article below (translated as accurate as possible, between quotation marks):

"Adameer, the Palestinian association which provides legal counseling to many of the prisoners, denounces that penitentiary authorities have begun a campaign of reprisals against the strikers, who are said to be deprived of visits, access to lawyers and all kind of personal goods. Some of them are even confined in isolation cells, according to Adameer."

All these measures are actually applied in the jails of almost every single democratic State. It's a way to fight against those prisoners who don't adapt themselves to the rules of the jail or who incite others to commit rebellious acts.

Ana Carbajosa's article also deals with the Israeli administrative detention:

"However, institutions like the European Union have criticized in the past the 'excessive use' of this Israeli legal precept, which according to the international legislation should be applied in very exceptional cases and to prevent damages which couldn't be prevented in another way."

Precisely an exceptional case is that of Israel. It's not a country which fights against terrorism under the same circumstances Spain or the Federal Republic of Germany have fought under against E.T.A. and the Red Army Fraction, respectively. Israel fights terrorism in the context of an armed conflict, thus making the terrorists enemies of the State during wartime. And enemies of the State during wartime, irrespective of the fact that they're terrorists or not, are not held in the same conditions as conventional criminals.

More examples of Spanish newspapers denouncing Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners are Público (Thousands of Palestinian prisoners go on hunger strike), El Mundo (More than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners go on hunger strike) and ABC (Barbecues to disrupt the hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners), for example.

But there is something the Spanish mainstream media doesn't talk about, at least not usually: those Palestinian prisoners who are held by their fellow Palestinians in Palestinian territory. The Jerusalem Post, however,  informs about it. For example, on Sunday, May 13th, 2012, this Israeli newspaper published an article by Khaled Abu Toameh under the title Fatah prisoners held by Hamas go on hunger strike.

And Hamas can't argue that the prisoners it holds are enemies of the State during wartime. Actually, those Palestinians held (or something even worse than just being held) by Hamas are mainly political prisoners who are suspected to be members of al-Fatah, the faction which fights against Hamas for the Palestinian political hegemony. It should also be noticed that Hamas is a terrorist organization and not a legitimate authority which could be legally recognized as such. What Hamas pretends when arresting Palestinians suspected to be members of al-Fatah or to support it, is to terrorize its fellow countrymen, warning them neither to show any sort of sympathy nor to join or help main Hamas' political rival in Palestine.

Telecinco turns a blow to the face into a shot.

As reported by The Jerusalem Post on Monday, April 16th, 2012, an Israeli soldier who hit a Danish pro-Palestinian activist in the face with his rifle will be subjected to an investigation.

Also on this day, Spanish TV channel Telecinco reported about the issue. In its news bulletin, at 15:00 hours, the event was literally portrayed as an example of the way in which the Israeli army exercises repression against pro-Palestinian activists, thus extending the guilt over the incident to all Israeli soldiers. But in its official website, Telecinco showed one of the most shocking distortion of facts I've ever read: the blow to the activit's face was not a blow, but a shot. He was fired upon. A rifle bullet was what the activist received in his face.

Under the title Israel suspende a un militar que disparó contra un activista pro palestino (Israel suspends a soldier who shot a pro Palestinian activist), we can read what follows (translated as accurate as possible, between quotation marks):

"The incident took place on Saturday, as declared to the Army Radio by Yoav Mordechai [a military spokesman]. Lieutenant colonel Shalom Eisner can be seen in the video bearing his M-16 rifle with both hands and shooting against a group of individuals who were participating in a march by bicycle in the West Bank.

One of the shots hit in a Danish citizen's face, who fell down and was evacuated by other activists. The activist, whose name is Andreas Ias, was looked after minor injuries in a Palestinian hospital and has declared to the Israeli media he is OK."

There are two videos on YouTube which show the incident. One lasts for 14 seconds and shows Ias being punched in the face. The other shows several incidents recorded on that day, lasts for 2 minutes and 16 seconds, is reserved to adult YouTube users only and also shows Ias being punched.

I only have a question: does somebody see or hear any single bullet being fired?

#HITLER becomes trending topic in Spain; anti-Semitic jokes arise.

As most of you probably know, Twitter is a social network which shows those issues which become trending topics (or T.T.'s) in a specific country, and sometimes even in a certain area or city within that country. From 23:35 on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012, until 2:45 on Wednesday, April 4th, 2012, #HITLER became T.T. in Spain, and anti-Semitic jokes arose.

Untold stories.

As shown before (read here and here), not only what the Spanish mainstream media tells must be taken into account in order to understand the way it treats Israel; for this purpose, what the media doesn't tell is also important. Misinformation and deception don't only come from half-truths, exaggerations and fabrications, but also from deliberate omissions.

Spanish mainstream media usually denounces how a Palestinian refugee problem was prompted by Israel; what the media doesn't tell here is that the Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon, Abdullah Abdullah, declared in September, 2011, that the Palestinian refugees in countries such as Lebanon or Jordan, as well as even inside the Palestinian territories, wouldn't be eligible to become citizens of the proposed Palestinian State, if created.

Does it make sense when it is usually alleged that a hypothetical Palestinian State would be created in order to serve precisely as a national homeland for the Palestinian people? If the Palestinian refugee problem is so important for the Spanish media from a humanitarian perspective, why not to denounce Abdullah and for this future policy he is announcing?

Is it maybe because Abdullah Abdullah is Palestinian instead of Israeli and works for the P.L.O. but not for Israel?

Manuel Tapial's anti-Semitism exposed again.

Isaac Querub is the president of the F.C.J.E. (Federación de Comunidades Judías de España or Spain's Federation of Jewish Communities). He was interviewed by the Spanish daily El País and claimed that Holocaust denial should constitute a punishable offense in Spain (which was the case before a 2007 ruling by the Spanish Constitutional Court).

1.- This was Manuel Tapial response:

"And because of Israel denial, do they want to imprison us for that? Put me the first in the line."

2.- Manuel Tapial's contact Santi Garcia Avila answered:

"The Spanish state should expel every Jew who doesn't recognize the Palestinian holocaust."

Please notice such an example of anti-Semitism: Jews should be expelled if they deny a Palestinian holocaust, a fact which isn't happening nor happened before in strictly historical terms. And he is referring to those Jews located in Spain but not to the Spaniards as a whole, which means he is singling them out. Just because they're Jews?

3.- In this third screencapture we can observe how Manuel Tapial likes Santi Garcia Avila's comment. Does that mean Manuel Tapial would support such an anti-Semitic measure? Please remember what the Spanish laws tell about this in the article 510 of the Penal Code.

Manuel Tapial and terrorism (III).

Manuel Tapial is a Spanish pro-Palestinian activist who was on board the Mavi Marmara when this ship was assaulted by Israel's Tzahal in 2010. Though he declares himself a pacifist, he has a long history of support for terrorism (read here and here), which constitutes a criminal offense according to the Spanish Penal Code.

Now let's read how his self-procclaimed pacifism is contradicted by what he wrote (translated as accurate as possible, between quotation marks):

1.- On Thursday, January 12th, 2012, Manuel Tapial wrote the following:

"The tremendous shamelessness of the European political class before the occupation of Palestine, could, in the medium term, reverse the increasing feeling of struggling lawfully and in a pacific way which characterizes the Palestinians when achieving their legitimate rights..."

Manuel Tapial seems not to pay too much attention to what has been going on in the Middle East for the last years. The truth is that the way the Palestinians are struggling have been consisting mainly of this.

2.- Manuel Tapial himself suggests to harass Israeli citizens worlwide just because of their nationality (which is also punishable under Spanish laws), as he wrote lately from Nicaragua:

"The same [wall] Israel will use to isolate the Palestinians is the one the world's civil society should build to isolate Israel and its practices in order to make them realize their criminal attitude is not tolerable! I'm happy to be in Nicaragua and to see that Israeli citizens here are asked and questioned constantly about what they do to the Palestinians, don't let this people even a single minute of rest!"

3.- On Monday, December 26th, 2011, Manuel Tapial published an article in his own blog. He later linked to his article via Facebook, as shown in the screen capture. What he wrote in his blog includes the following:

"Under the present scene, all indicates we are called to write the History of our epoch. New persons will have to make them known publicly this year around the new struggles which appear before us (..) emulating Rosa Parks, Angela Davis, Ulrike Meinhof, Leila Khaled, Steve Bico, Fonseca, Salvador Puig Antic[h] and many others,..."

Of those individuals mentioned, at least two, Ulrike Meinhof and Leila Khaled, are well known terrorists. Ulrike Meinhof was part of the R.A.F. (Rote Armee Fraktion or Red Army Fraction), a West German extreme-left terrorist organization, while Leila Khaled was the first known woman who hijacked a civil passenger aircraft, in this case on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Indeed, daring to compare those two terrorists with Rosa Parks, who is a symbol against racism, is insulting.

Manuel Tapial's link in Facebook was answered by one of his contacts in the social network: Sarai Costas Silva. She commented the following:

"Ulrike Meinhof, extrajudicially executed by the 'Federal Republic of Germany' (the specific executor organism is still to be determined; maybe their intelligence service?) at the Stammheim prison in 1977."

And under this comment, Sarai Costas Silva wrote another one:

"Also executed by the Federal Germany's security apparatus were, in Stammheim, Andreas Baader, his girlfriend Gudrun Ensslin, and Jan Carl-Raspe. The same night during which these three executions were carried out, they tried to do the same to Irmgard Möller, but they failed.

All of these were the leaders of the first generation of the Red Army Fraction. Earlier, another of its member, Holger Meins, had been executed in prison, leaving him dying from starvation (he had begun a hunger strike)."

4.- As we can see in the screen capture bellow, Manuel Tapial liked Sarai Costas Silva's first comment. Does it mean he really believes in such an absurd conspiracy theory about West German extrajudicial executions of prison inmates?

5.- Finally, we can see here how Manuel Tapial supports another well known terrorist: Venezuelan-born Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, also know as Carlos the Jackal, who is currently serving life imprisonment sentence for the murders of two French security officials and a Lebanese contact, among other crimes. The multiple crime happened in Paris in June 27th, 1975. He was apprehended in Sudan in 1994.

Article on anti-Semitism in Spain.

An article on anti-Semitism in Spain was published by El País on Friday, December 2, 2011, under the title España encabeza las encuestas de antijudaísmo (Spain leads the polls on anti-Jewishness). It was written by Juan G. Bedoya and reads as follows (translated as accurate as possible, between quotation marks):

"'We are often asked why the Jews have been being hated so much and for so long. The question has to be made to those who hate us, not to those who are hated.' This thought by Isaac Querub Caro, president of the Federación de Comunidades Judías de España (F.C.J.E. [in English, Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain]), summarized the IV International Seminar on Anti-Semitism. It was closed the last night at the Fundación Caja Navarra [Caja Navarra Foundation]. Several graffiti in the street insulted those present with phrases such as 'Zionism is terrorism' and red crossing-outs on the Star of David.

'The insults, the graffiti, and the slogans against the Jews are considered something normal, when the truth is that they reflect an underlying anti-Semitism. They're a symptom of a social pathology', Alejandro Baer, professor of Sociology at the University of Munich, had denounced previously.

Jurist Jorge Trías Sagnier, who participated in the debate Penal struggle against anti-Semitism and hate offenses, expressed his repugnance regarding last April [Spanish] Supreme Court sentence which revoked the conviction against four nazis when considering that phrases such as: 'The Jews are destroyers and promote the wars'; 'The Germans were wrong for not having burnt all of them'; or that 'They're a pestilent race', don't pose a danger and don't deserve a penal reproach.

Trías Sagnier described that sentence as 'barbaric'. 'Some of the magistrates who passed it are the same who are chasing Baltasar Garzón [a Spanish magistrate currently under a judicial investigation for his alleged missconduct during his own judicial investigation on the crimes committed by former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco], but there was a particular vote, full of dignity, by magistrate Martínez Arrieta', he added.

Jews are just a o.1% of Spain's population, but the anti-Semitism levels are among the highest ones in Europe, Querub denounced. The final manifesto of the seminar concluded that 'the denial of the existence of this anti-Semitism aggravates the problem and stops its prevention'."

Yo dona on Natalie Portman's comments about John Galliano.

After British designer John Galliano's unfortunate anti-Semitic remarks, Israeli-born American actress Natalie Portman showed her annoyance about such comments in this way:

"I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano's comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way."

Nobody could say this is not a normal reaction. It's logical for a Jew to be disgusted by someone's negative comments about Jews (among others) such as "I love Hitler". But María Vela Zanetti seems to have another point of view, at least in light of an article written by her and published recently by Yo dona, a magazine distributed with the Spanish daily El Mundo. The article was written under the title Natalie Portman: un dechado de virtudes (Natalie Portman: a model of virtues). Excerpts from the article below (translated as accurate and possible, between quotation marks):

"So disgusted was the good Jew that she hurried to reject both of the models [made] by the Gibraltarian elected for the Oscars ceremony."

"Poor mechanical doll! She's a conceited chubby person, thanks to the toxic banality of her profession and to the moral perfection of her people, now a cruel stalker of another one, and persecuted and exterminated before."

"There is a popular saying about female Jews which tells: Soft in shirt and crazy at mass, that is, cold and fanatical."

"What could have happened to her (...) the Synagogue? Maybe; I think, as my admired comedian Bill Maher, that religions destroy peoples' lives." [Jewish religion is included in this assertion].

"(...) so, if it can be affirmed that within a human group of 10 intelligent people, nine are Jews, she's not a part of the equation."

This shows how anti-Semitic topics are freely spread by the Spanish media.

Rebelión on the July 22 attacks against Norway (III).

We saw before how Spanish far-left website Rebelión published two articles claiming or implying the Mossad (Israel's intelligence service for operations abroad) was behind the July 22 attacks against Norway (read here and here). At least two more articles have appeared at Rebelión focusing on the same conspiracy theory.

On Sunday, July 24, 2011, The Intel Hub published an article by Saman Mohammadi (a university student in Toronto) under the title Mossad, CIA and NATO Attack Democracy in Oslo, Norway. Mohammadi's article was translated by Ricardo García Pérez and published by Rebelión on Tuesday, July 26, 2011, under the title El Mosad, la CIA y la OTAN atacan a la democracia en Oslo, Noruega. Mohammadi's article reads as follows:

"As usual, new evidence and new information is emerging about the terror attacks in Oslo, Norway on Friday, July 22, that raises suspicions that the event was orchestrated by secret Mossad, CIA and NATO forces.

I call them the coalition of the killing.

Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen reported on Sunday, July 24, that Anders Behring Breivik, the so called lone gunman behind the attacks, has ties with freemasonry and espouses the Zionist agenda. Madsen writes:

'Anders Behring Breivik is suspect in massacre of over 80 at Labour Party Youth camp on Norwegian island and downtown Oslo bombing. Breivik is being called a Christian fundamentalist even though he was a Freemason and supporter of such vile Zionist Islamophobes as Pam Geller and Richard Pipes.'

This fact by itself doesn't mean we should lay the blame squarely at Mossad's doorstep. But it is a piece of a puzzle that we are constructing in the dark, and it will take time before all the pieces are put together.

The other day I was wrong to say only Mossad was behind the attacks in Oslo. I forgot to mention the rogue CIA and NATO as being suspects in the murders.

This is not purely a Zionist crime. This is a crime by the entire axis of evil that has captured Western democracies: the rogue CIA, the criminal Mossad, and the illegal NATO. All their interests were being challenged by the democratic government of Norway.

Investigative journalist Webster G. Tarpley reports in his article Norway Terror Attacks a False Flag, that Norway was getting ready to call off its bombing missions in Libya and stop its involvement in that ongoing war crime in August.

Tarpley also mentions the fact that witnesses reported two shooters at the scene of the crime, casting doubt that this is another 'lone-assassin' terror strike. Tarpley says:

'The presence of a second shooter is of course most inconvenient for the lone assassin theory, since it represents incontrovertible evidence of a criminal conspiracy, the very thing which the media coverage is usually anxious to avoid. In the Norwegian case, the reports of a second shooter seemed to be persistent enough 36 hours after the main event so as to hold out some hope that the entire official version can be brought down on this particular.'

So, Norway made itself a democratic enemy of Israel by supporting the Palestinian effort for statehood in the United Nations in September, and a democratic enemy of the CIA and NATO because it no longer wanted any part in the takeover of Libya's oil fields.

Read this June 10 article, Norway to quit Libya operation by August, for more information on Norway's decision to quit the Libya war.

Norway was attacked by the corrupt and secret forces behind the CIA, NATO and Mossad for refusing to go along with their overall agenda. They figured they could kill two birds with one stone by bringing Norway back into line on the issue of Israel-Palestine and Libya. What we are witnessing is the strategy of tension playing out in Norway.

II. The Return of The Gladio Villains.

During the Cold War, secret NATO 'Gladio' networks carried out false flags attacks in European cities that were falsely blamed on leftist groups and which were intended to create an atmosphere of fear.

The chief beneficiaries of the terror attacks were government security forces, intelligence agencies, and ruling political coalitions.

But state violence and state terror will not bring down the voice of the people of Norway and its democratic government. After the attacks, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said:

'No one will bomb us to silence. No one wil shoot us to silence. No one will ever scare us away from being Norway. You will not destroy us. You will not destroy our democracy or our ideals for a better world.' – (At a press conference in Oslo. Quote from BBC's report As it happened: Norway attacks).

God bless Norway and god bless freedom. The criminals in the CIA, Mossad and NATO have to pay for this crime against innocent human beings and the voice of the people.

And there is a way out of this dark age of state terror. We have to dig for the truth and then tell it, write it, scream it. We are not destined to be hostages of state terrorists.

We cannot give into artificially stimulated fear, into ignorant peer pressure, and into the blind herd mind that says 'it's a conspiracy theory, you have no evidence, you have no proof that Mossad and CIA are ran by criminals'. Bullshit.

We have all the proof in the world that the biggest terrorists on this planet are in the Mossad, CIA, MI6, and other Western intelligence agencies. They are destroying self-government, freedom of speech, and our basic humanity.

Madsen writes:

'With ample evidence of Mossad involvement in Oslo, it is up to every one of us to report to the Nth degree any suspicious contacts with Israelis or Israeli sympathizers.'

Truth-telling is a task that we must all embrace. We have to bury the nonsensical theory of the 'crazed lone gunman' to explain politically motivated assassinations and terror attacks because it is simply not true. State political conspirators are responsible for the attacks in Oslo and other terrorist attacks in America and the Western world.

We cannot let the rascals and demons in the Mossad and the CIA get away with the murder of innocent people. For justice to be done, the truth must be spoken about State staged terror attacks, and as early as possible, as loud as possible, and as much as possible."

On Monday, August 1, 2011, The Palestine Chronicle published an article by James Petras under the title The Norwegian Massacre, the State, the Media and Israel, which was translated by Silvia Arana in order to be published by Rebelión. This happened on Wednesday, August 3, 2011. The Spanish title of Petras' article is La masacre noruega, el estado, los medios e Israel. Excerpt from Petras' article below:

"The Lone Assassin: A Fascist Superman Travels Faster than a Speeding Bullet Versus the Police Moving Slower than an Arthritic Turtle:

The case for the 'lone wolf terrorist' defies credence. It is a tissue of lies used to cover up state complicity, intelligence malfeasance, and the sharp right-turn in the domestic and foreign policies of NATO countries.

There is no basis to accept Breivik's initial claim that he acted alone for several outstanding reasons: First, the car bomb, which devastated downtown Oslo, was a highly complex weapon requiring expertise and coordination – the kind available to state or intelligence services, like the Mossad, which specialize in devastating car bombs. Amateurs, like Breivik, with no training in explosives, usually blow themselves up or lack the skill required to connect the electronic timing devices or remote detonators (like the unsuccessful 'shoe', 'underpants' and 'Times Square' bombers have proved). Secondly, the details of (a) moving the bomb, (b) obtaining (stealing) a vehicle, (c) placing the device at the strategic site, (d) successfully detonating it and (e) then gowning up in an elaborate special police uniform with an arsenal of hundreds of rounds of ammunition and driving off in another vehicle to Utoeya Island, (f) waiting patiently while armed to the teeth for a ferry boat, g) crossing with other passengers in his police uniform, (h) rounding up the Labor youth activists and commencing the massacre of scores of unarmed youth and finally (i) finishing off the wounded and hunting for those trying to hide or swim away - is not the activity of a lone zealot. Even the combination of Superman, Einstein and a world class marksman could not perform those tasks.

The media and NATO leaders must view the public as passive morons to expect them to believe that Anders Behring Breivik 'acted alone'. He is willing to take a 20 year prison sentence if it means, as he maintains, that their collective action is the spark that ignites his comrades and advances the agenda of the violent and legal far-right wing parties. Facing a Norwegian judge on July 25 [2012], he publically declared the existence of 'two more cells in my organization'. According to witness testimony on Utoeya Island shots from two distinct weapons were heard from different directions during the massacre. The police say they are… 'investigating'. Needless to say the police have found nothing; instead they put on a 'show' to cover their inaction by raiding two houses far from the massacre and quickly released the suspects.

The most serious political implication of the terrorist action, however, is the conspicuous complicity of top police officials. The police took 90 minutes to arrive at Utoeya Island, located less than 20 kilometers from Oslo, 12 minutes by helicopter and 25 to 30 minutes by car and boat. The delay allowed the right wing assassins to use up the ammunition, maximizing the death toll of young, anti-fascist activists and devastating the Labor youth movement. The police chief, Sveinung Sponheim, made the feeblest excuse and cover-up, claiming 'problems with transport'. Sponheim argued that a helicopter 'wasn't on standby' and they 'could not find a boat' (Associated Press, July 24, 2011). Yet a helicopter was available; it managed to fly to Utoeya and film the ongoing slaughter, and over half of Norwegians, a seafaring people for millennia, own or have access to a boat. A police force, faced with what the Prime Minister calls the 'worst atrocity since the Nazi occupation', moving at the pace of an arthritic turtle to rescue youth activists, raises the suspicion of some level of complicity. The obvious question arises as to the degree to which the ideology of right wing extremism – neo-fascism – has penetrated the police and security forces, especially the upper echelons? This level of 'inactivity' raises more questions than it answers. What it suggests is that the Social Democrats only control part of the Government – the legislative, while the neo-fascists influence the state apparatus.

The plain fact is that the police did not save a single life. When they finally arrived, Anders Behring Breivik had run out of ammunition and surrendered turning himself over to the police. The police literally did not fire a single shot; they did not even have to hunt or capture the assassin. An almost choreographed scenario: Hundreds wounded, 68 unarmed, peaceful activists killed and the Labor youth movement decimated.

The police can claim 'crime solved' while the mass media prattles about a 'lone assassin'. The far right has a 'martyr' to mask a further advance in their anti-Muslim, pro Israel crusade. (It is reminiscent of the celebrated Israeli-American fascist mass murderer, Dr. Baruch Goldstein, who slaughtered dozens of unarmed Palestinian men and boys at prayer in 1994).

Only two days before the political murders, the head of the Labor Party Youth Movement, Eskil Pedersen, gave an interview to the Dagbladet, Norway's second largest tabloid, in which he announced a 'unilateral economic embargo of Israel from the Norwegian side' (Gilad Atzmon, July 24, 2011). The fact of the matter is that the Norwegian military has no problem promptly dispatching 500 troops to Afghanistan, half way around the world and providing six Norwegian Air Force jets and pilots to bomb and terrorize Libya. And yet they can't find a helicopter or a row boat to transport their police a couple hundred yards to stop a domestic right wing terrorist – whose murderous rampage was being described second by second by the terrorized young victims on their cell phones to their frantic parents?"

Through publishing these two articles, Rebelión tries to imply that not only the Mossad, but also the Norwegian police, the N.A.T.O. and the C.I.A. were behind the July 22 attacks against Norway, thus treacherously using a tragedy which took the lives of 77 innocent people just to spread more hatred.

Rebelión on the July 22 attacks against Norway (II).

And it has happened again.

Gilad Atzmon, an Israeli-born British musician, novelist, political activist and writer, well known for his anti-Israeli ideas, has written an article on the July 22 attacks against Norway, which was published today by Rebelión under the title ¿Fue la masacre noruega una reacción al BDS? (titled in English as Was Norway Massacre a reaction to BDS Israeli Boycott?). This is Atzmon's position on the issue:

"I learned last night from an Israeli online journal, that two days before the Utoya Island massacre, AUF's (Labour Party’s youth movement) leader Eskil Pedersen gave an interview to the Dagbladet, Norway’s second largest tabloid newspaper, in which he unveiled what he thinks of Israel.

In the course of the interview, Pedersen stated that he 'believes the time has come for more drastic measures against Israel, and (that he) wants the Foreign Minister to impose an economic boycott against the country.'

Pedersen went on to say, 'The peace process goes nowhere, and though the whole world expect Israel to comply, they do not. We in Labour Youth will have a unilateral economic embargo of Israel from the Norwegian side.'

The AUF Labour Party Youth Movement have been devoted promoters of the Israel Boycott campaign, the Dagbladet newspaper reporting that 'The AUF has long been a supporter of an international boycott of Israel, but the decision at the last congress, demands that Norway imposes a unilateral economic embargo on the country and it must be stricter than before.'

'I acknowledge that this is a drastic measure', stated Pedersen, 'but I think it gives a clear indication that we are tired of Israel's behaviour, quite simply.'

Yesterday we also learned that mass-murderer Anders Behring Breivik was openly enthusiastic about Israel. According to a variety of internet outlets, Behring Breivik was a regular poster on several Norwegian internet sites, notably the blog document.no, which is run by Hans Rustad, a former left-wing journalist.

Hans Rustad is Jewish, extremely pro-Zionist, and warns against 'Islam-isation', violence, and other social problems he assumes to be connected with Muslim immigration.

Alongside the UK's infamously Islamophobic Harry's Place and other Jewish pro-war Zionist blogs, the observant amongst us are becoming more and more aware of an increasingly pervasive trend of Jerusalemite internet journals that — ostensibly – like to give the impression of 'rallying for the preservation of Western culture', and of 'standing up for democratic values'.

For the most obvious of reasons, these blog pages are almost exclusively focused on 'the problem of Islam', and on Muslim migrants' 'troubled and reactionary' communities and politics, whilst all the while, simultaneously, relentlessly and forcefully propounding a propagandistic Zionist agenda.

Interestingly enough, other immigrants are routinely depicted on these blog pages as being 'harmless', or as 'positive contributors to society' – you won't find Hans Rustad or Harry Place criticising the Jewish Lobbies, the Lord Levy's or the Russian Oligarchs' disastrous impact on 'Western culture' or on 'democratic values' any time soon.

Gordon Duff wrote yesterday in Veterans Today that the 'car bombing carries the signature of an intelligence agency. Nobody else bothers with such things.'

And indeed it is after all, pretty clear that a car bomb of such magnitude, and an operation of such sophistication is not exactly something a layman can put together with such apparent ease: it would surely take some specialist knowledge, and the question here is, who could provide such knowledge, and such a vast amount of lethal explosives?

I am not in a position at present to firmly point a finger at Israel, its agents, or its sayanim — but assembling the information together, and considering all possibilities may suggest that Anders Behring Breivik might indeed, have been a Sabbath Goy.

Within its Judaic mundane-societal context, the Sabbath Goy is simply there to accomplish some minor tasks the Jews cannot undertake during the Sabbath. But within the Zion-ised reality we tragically enough live in, the Sabbath Goy kills for the Jewish state. He may even do it voluntarily.

Being an admirer of Israel, Behring Breivik does appear to have treated his fellow countrymen in the same way that the IDF treats Palestinians. Devastatingly enough, in Israel, Behring Breivik found a few enthusiastic followers who praised his action against the Norwegian youth. In the Hebrew article that reported about the AUF camp being pro Palestinian and supportive of the Israel Boycott Campaign, I found the following comments amongst other supports for the massacre:

24. 'Oslo criminals paid'.

26. 'It's stupidity and evil not to desire death for those who call to boycott Israel.'

41. 'Hitler Youth members killed in the bombing of Germany were also innocent. Let us all cry about the terrible evil bombardment carried out by the Allied…We have a bunch of haters of Israel meeting in a country that hates Israel in a conference that endorses the boycott.. So it's not okay, not nice, really a tragedy for families, and we condemn the act itself, but to cry about it? Come on. We Jews are not Christians. In the Jewish religion there is no obligation to love or mourn for the enemy.'

The full facts of the Norwegian tragedy are, as yet, unknown, but the message should by now be transparently and urgently clear to all of us:

Western intelligence agencies must immediately crackdown on Israeli and Zionist operators in our midst, and regarding the terrible events of the weekend.

It must be made absolutely clear who it was that spread such hate and promoted such terror, and for what exact reasons."

A photograph showing Anders Behring Breivik with a rifle is shown in Atzmon's article, and under it, we can read:

"Who-What Really Made Him Pull the Trigger So Many Times".

So, Gilad Atzmon seems to see Israel's hand behind the July 22 attacks in Norway. This also seems to be Rebelión's position since this Spanish far-left website published another article by María José Lera (professor of psychology at the University of Seville) and Ricardo García Pérez (a translator) which supports such a conspiracy theory. And now they use Atzmon's article at Veterans Today, translating it into Spanish, in order to imply again that Israel played a role in the tragic events happened in the Scandinavian country three days ago.

It's very hypocritical taking into account Rebelión's support for Hezbollah, a Lebanese terrorist organization involved in a bomb attack against the A.M.I.A. (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina or Argentine Israelite Mutual Association), which killed 85 people in 1994.

I'd also demand Gilad Atzmon to translate the other comments he didn't translate. 3 comments out of at least 41 don't demonstrate that Israelis really think Norwegians deserve what they suffered recently.

Rebelión on the July 22 attacks against Norway (I).

Rebelión (which means Rebellion) is a Spanish website which focuses on political, economic and social issues such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, E.T.A., the Catholic Church, the mainstream media, the Iraq War, fascism and many others, always from a far-left viewpoint.

On Sunday, July 24, 2011, this website published an article by María José Lera (professor of psychology at the University of Seville) and Ricardo García Pérez (a translator) under the title Noruega e Israel (Norway and Israel). It is claimed in this article that the July 22 attacks against Norway happened in a context which should attract our attention, since the AUF (Arbeidernes Ungdomsfylking or Workers' Youth League, the Norwegian Labour Party's youth organization), whose members were holding a meeting at the Utøya island when they were intentionally attacked by Anders Behring Breivik, are among the most prominent proponents of boycotting Israel.

Norwegian initiatives against Israel are then cited by the authors of the article, such as (sources available within the article itself):

1.- An academic boycott proposed from within the University of Bergen and the NTNU (Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet or Norwegian University of Science and Technology).

2.- Statements made by Jonas Gahr Støre (Norway's Minister of Foreign Affairs), at the Utøya island itself the day before the attacks, against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and the Israeli security fence in the West Bank. Støre is a member of the Arbeiderpartiet or Labour Party.

3.- Statements made by Eskil Pedersen (AUF leader) demanding a boycott against Israel and the recognition of a Palestinian State.

4.- Statements made by Kristin Halvorsen in 2006 (when she was Norway's Minister of Finance) demanding a boycott against Israel, as well as subsequent divestment measures by Norway against Israel. Halvorsen is a member of the Sosialistisk Venstreparti or Socialist Left Party.

5.- The fact that during 2010, 4 out of 10 Norwegians refused to buy Israeli products.

6.- Statements made by Jonas Gahr Støre supporting the Norwegian recognition of a Palestinian State, during a visit of the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

7.- The Palestinian passport which former Norwegian Prime Minister Kåre Willoch gave Mahmoud Abbas, as well as Willoch's statements supporting the Palestinians. Willoch is a member of the Høyre or Right, known internationally as the Norwegian Conservative Party.

8.- Reactions to the Norwegian support for the Palestinians by the Israeli media and pro-Israeli advocates such as American lawyer, jurist and political commentator Alan Dershowitz, who was rejected by three Norwegian universities when he demanded to be granted the right to speak about Israel.

The article by María José Lera and Ricardo García Pérez ends as follows (translated as accurate as possible, between quotation marks):

"It could ultimately be that the State of Israel's tentacles are not so far away from this slaughter; after all it would have not been the first one they commit, nor unfortunately will be the last one. In the end, the Norwegian Workers' Youth League (AUF), the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs and his whole government have received a tremendous hit.

Those who have positioned themselves the most against Israel's genocidal policies towards the Palestinian people are precisely the ones who suffer the most, previously warned by Israel about their «tremendous boldness»… something which according to the Israeli language means that the price has to be paid."

This is outrageous. While Norway is experiencing its worst crisis since the German occupation of the country during the Second World War, María José Lera, Ricardo García Pérez and Rebelión dare to use this tragedy in order to discredit Israel through implying the Jewish State could have been involved in the attacks against Norwegian innocent citizens.

This kind of perfidy demonstrates how far anti-Israel advocates can go here in Spain.

An analysis of the vocabulary and the images used by the Spanish media regarding Israel (II).

On Monday, June 27, 2011, Público published an article under the title Cinco años (Five years) by Eugenio García Gascón, regarding Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas in 2006, and negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians regarding exchanges of prisoners. The third paragraph of Gascón's article reads as follows (translated as accurate as possible, between quotation marks):

"Prime minister Netanyahu, like his predecessor Olmert, hasn't shown a great interest in the liberation of the soldier. Hamas demands the liberation of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange, some of them being militiamen responsible for deadly attacks and strikes, and Netanyahu seems not to be in favour of such exchange."

Now please notice what Gascón wrote in the fourth paragraph of his article:

"Some Israelis remember that during his first mandate, between 1996 and 1999, Netanyahu freed Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of Hamas in exchange of three Mossad agents arrested in Amman when they wanted to murder Khaled Meshaal, the leader of Hamas in the exile. Meshaal currently lives in Damascus and Sheikh Yassin was murdered in Gaza by the Israeli aviation during the second intifada."

So, according to Público and its journalist Eugenio García Gascón, Palestinian terrorists who killed innocent Israelis and are currently under Israel's custody are "militiamen responsible for deadly attacks and strikes" instead of "criminals responsible for terrorist attacks", while the Mossad wanted to "murder" Khaled Meshaal and the Israeli Air Force "murdered" Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, in spite of the fact that they were enemies of Israel (as well as criminals) during wartime.

This exemplifies again how the Spanish mainstream media distorts reality when it comes to Israel and the Palestinians.

On the Six-Day War, the Naksa Day and the Resolution 242.

Today, Sunday, June 5, 2011, Palestine and its supporters commemorate the so-called Naksa Day. Naksa means Setback in Arabic, and the Naksa Day refers to the beginning of the Six-Day War on Monday, June 5, 1967, which led to the occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, the Egyptian Sinai, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem by Israel.

The Naksa Day should not be confused with the Nakba Day (Nakba means Catastrophe in Arabic), which commemorates the 1947 to 1948 Palestinian exodus from what today is the Jewish State, even though both of the days have one thing to do with each other: all the useful idiots who try to cross Israel's borders unlawfully in order to cause confrontations, intended these ones to delegitimize the Jewish State in the eyes of the public opinion.

The Six-Day War prompted the United Nations Security Council to pass the Resolution 242 on November 22, 1967. This Resolution is usually portrayed as intended to make Israel to withdraw from all the territories occupied in the Six-Day War to the so-called 1967 borders, leaving the Palestinians with the opportunity of creating a State of their own in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with its capital in East Jerusalem.

Well, the truth is that such claims regarding the U.N.S.C.'s Resolution 242 are false, according to its drafters themselves. Will the Spanish maintream media report clearly about this issue?
