Fighting Jewish genocide
Op-ed: Western world must join fight on genocidal incitement against
Jews, Israelis
Only one nation on this planet is regarded as virtually having no
civilians: Israel. Back in the 1970s already, international law expert
Yoram Dinstein argued that according to UN definitions, terrorism and
incitement against Israelis constitutes genocide.
David Ben-Gurion’s famous statement “Oom, Shmoom,” meaning “The UN -
who cares?” summed up Israel’s indifference to world opinion in the
past. It has been a failed policy as Israel’s enemies are now using
all global means at their disposal to undermine the Jewish State.
In a few days, Israel will mark Holocaust Commemoration Day. There is
no better time to support the historical battle just initiated by the
Hebrew University-Hadassah Centre for Violence and Genocide Prevention
and backed by former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton
and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
The campaign takes aim at Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Islamic religious
leaders and the media for “inciting to commit genocide" and fomenting
lethal anti-Jewishness reminiscent of the 1930s. The Jews are
demonized using accusations of conspiracy and thirst for blood or
power.
The Jews are described as sub-humans by expressions like “pig,”
“cancer,” “filth”, “microbes” or “vermin”; hate material such as the
Protocols of the Elders of Zion or school maps without Israel are
being disseminated; the Jewish right to self-determination is denied,
by claiming that Israel’s existence is “racist” and akin to
“apartheid”; comparisons are drawn between Israeli policy and the
Nazis; world Jewry is being held responsible, collectively for the
actions of Israel.
Killing pregnant women
The legal basis for this anti-genocide campaign is the Convention on
the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, ratified on
January 12, 1951 by 138 states including Iran. At this time, Tehran
calls for Israel’s destruction and dehumanization, denies the
Holocaust denial and incites to commit mass murder.
An upcoming example of incitement is the UN's “Durban III” conference
in September 2011. Israel will be declared an “apartheid” and
“criminal” state, and the Jews will be slammed as inveterate racists.
The first Durban conference was held in South Africa in 2001, where
well-known NGOs such as Amnesty International and Save the Children
attached their names to the racist parade. NGOs distributed leaflets
with a portrait of Hitler and the inscription: “What if Hitler had
won? There would be no Israel, and no Palestinian bloodshed.” Three
months later the second Intifada broke out, with 1,500 Jewish
civilians subsequently slaughtered in terror attacks.
Iran is not unique in inciting a new Jewish bloodbath. Another example
of incitement is the fatwa issued by Muslim Brotherhood’s guru, Yusuf
al-Qaradawi, permitting the killing of Jewish fetuses, on the logic
that when Jews grow up they might join the Israeli army.
Below are just few names of pregnant Israeli women slaughtered by
terror groups such as Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Yael
Shorek was nine-months pregnant; Gadi and Tzippi Shemesh were killed
immediately after having a scan of their unborn twins; Avital Wolanski
was six-months pregnant; Rivka Holzberg was five-months pregnant; Tali
Hatuel was eight-months pregnant, and Tehiya Bloomberg was five-months
pregnant.
In 2003 the World Union for Progressive Judaism asked UN Secretary-
General Kofi Annan and the UN Human Rights Commission to condemn the
Hamas' charter as a violation of the Convention against Genocide. A
year later, three brave Arab intellectuals, Jawad Hashim, Shakir al-
Nabulsi and Lakhdar Lafif sent a request to the UN Security Council,
urging the establishment of an international tribunal for the
prosecution of Islamist incitement against Jews, Muslim “apostates”
and Christians.
Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote that it was words, not machinery, that
produced Auschwitz. Now the call for Israel’s destruction echoes
through schools and mosques, textbooks and newspapers, TV series and
pseudo “documentaries.” And not only in the Arab world. Thanks to
satellite channels, Hezbollah’s al-Manar and Hamas’ al-Aqsa TV
stations can beam their incitement and hatred for the Jews into
European living rooms, radicalizing Muslim immigrants.
It won't end with the Jews
That’s why Israel and its Western allies must launch a campaign to
charge organizations and leaders who commit incitement, enlisting the
help of attorneys, journalists and writers to testify on the endless
litanies of paranoia and genocidal perversion. Such people risk their
career and life daily by denouncing the blood libels, and Israel
should support them.
Western parliaments would politically validate the charges and Europe
must be urged to cut its business dealing with Tehran if the mullahs
continue to incite against the Jews. Irwin Cotler, Canada's former
minister of justice and attorney general, suggested that Ahmadinejad
and other incitement leaders should be placed on a “watch list” by
Western countries preventing their entrance as “inadmissible
persons” (Qaradawi is already banned in the UK and US.)
Brave groups, such as UN Watch, can support the battle in legal
forums. They could launch a counter campaign against UNESCO's racist
policy on Judaism’s holy sites (Rachel’s tomb and the Cave of
Patriarchs in Hebron were just designed as “mosques.”) In 2009, a
similar campaign prevented Farouk Hosni, the Egyptian minister who
said that he “would burn Israeli books himself if found in Egyptian
libraries” from becoming UNESCO's head.
Moreover, human rights groups should be bombarded with the untold
Israeli statistics: The 17,000 people wounded in terror attacks; the
1,600 civilians killed; the 12,000 rockets fired on southern Israeli
cities; the fact that some 40% of wounded Israelis will remain with
permanent disabilities.
There are wounded heroes who just want to tell their story. They
should be invited to speak in the courts because they are the
survivors of current-day genocide.
In European faculties, there are still brave academicians who can
denounce Islamist-supporting speakers among them. An example of
incitement is the book “The Matza of Zion” written by former Syrian
defense minister Mustafa Tlas, in which he claims that the Jewish
matzot was made from Arab blood. Still, the West maintains shameful
partnerships with Arab libraries holding this book. Western
democracies must be urged to rescind these cultural deals.
This is an historical battle that Israel can win with the support of
Westerners who still care about the fate of their civilization. To the
Spanish fascists who were saying “Viva la muerte!”, the Republicans
replied: “No pasarán.” We should offer the same response to
contemporary death cultists. As history has taught us, while it begins
with Jews, it does not end with Jews.

 democracies must be urged to rescind these cultural deals.
quelli che "boicottare la cultura è sempre fascismo" (se lo fanno gli
altri), oh yeah

 fosse, avrebbero ragione quelli che Cast Lead è genocidio
qui Bombacci si incapretta da solo. Che novita', nevvero?
