European Union defines criminal anti-semitism

From the European Union:

Working Definition of Antisemitism

http://fra.europa.eu/fraWebsite/material/pub/AS/AS-WorkingDefinition-draft.pdf

"The purpose of this document is to provide a practical guide for identifying incidents, collecting data, and supporting the implementation and enforcement of legislation dealing with antisemitism."

Working definition: “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

In addition, such manifestations could also target the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.

Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:

Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.

Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.

Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.

Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).

Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.

I guess the thought police went into overdrive while writing these up. But, as Galileo said, "Oppure si muove!"
Does this mean we can legitimately require "israel" to now respect human right? Stop shelling a caged population? Treat its own citizens equally? Allow jobs, rentals and free passage to non-Jews inside the 'state'? After all, this is what's expected and demanded of any other democratic nation. And, does that mean we can also expect them to sign the NNPT and allow IAEA inspections?

.....Until the ACT like a civilized country, they will be regarded by the entire planet as a rogue, nuclear armed, racist, Apartheid 'state' not worthy of the name 'democracy.' No amount of pen-pushing in Strasbourg or Brussels will change that.

There are no exemptions to facilitate dissent by those who reject the Noachide impost upon non-jews.

It is so because there are no exemptions actually.

The religion of the jews claims no future for those who reject the jewish messianic imperative.

To do so is "anti-semitic".
To affirm that the 6 million number is derived of Kabballah is "anti-semitic".

To demand truth in public life is "anti-semitic"

LONDON-Shock Political Survey Results

Shock Political Survey Results

By wmw_admin on July 6, 2012

 July 5, 2012

Over the two week period from the beginning of June, 4 ex London School of Economics students were part of a larger study which was sponsored by the organisation Doctors Against racism, to complete a telephone poll each evening in the greater London area, asking the following questions.

No record was kept of nationalities, or whether the respondents were employed or unemployed.

1. Would you support another government war, this time on Iran?

Results 68% no 5% yes rest don’t know.

2. Do you agree generally with the government wars in Middle East countries?

70% no 4% yes rest don’t know.

3. Would you agree to Bush, Blair and Sharon being prosecuted for what they have done in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and Lebanon?

62% yes 12% no rest don’t know?

4. Do you think the British government acquiesced in the killings of Dr. David Kelly and Princess Diana? 

76% yes 14% no rest don’t knows

5. Do you agree with current high levels of immigration into Britain?

An astonishing 83% no 9% yes rest don’t know.

6. Were you in favour of Britain holding the Olympics?

70% no 15% yes rest don’t know.

(There was much criticism of the zion politicising of the so called games and the involvement of so much weaponry)

7. Has unemployment badly affected your family?

85% yes 10% no rest don’t know.

8. If there was an election in Britain tomorrow would you vote ? 

73% no 12% yes rest don’t know.

9. Do you value our current political leaders in Britain?

79% no 6% yes rest don’t know.

10. Should Britain leave the EU? 

 61% yes 15% no rest don’t know.

(Before voting on this question many seemed unsure )

11. Do you think British politicians have let the people down over the banking issue?

87% yes no 8% rest don’t know.

Asking for general opinions, many felt the government was way too racist against its own people, many wanted job creation programmes, and a level playing field with foreigners coming in for work, and criminal offenders immediately deported. The NHS was constantly criticised, as was health tourism by incomers, strong feelings were shown over the criminal antics of the bankers and the Israeli lobby was said to have too much power, police were said to have lost touch and the support of the public, and many felt taxation was way too high.

The figures shown in the study were a shocking indictment of the British political situation as it stands.

In retrospect more questions should have been asked and this may be addressed in the autumn poll.

Rifts split Syria’s opposition at Cairo meeting

By wmw_admin on July 4, 2012

Aya Batrawy – Associated Press July 4, 2012

Syrian opposition groups struggled to form a united leadership Tuesday at a meeting in Cairo that exposed the vast disagreements that have prevented them from effectively leading the uprising against President Bashar Assad.

The conference ended late Tuesday with an agreement on two documents, both of them vague. One provides a general outline to guide the opposition through a transitional period, while the other lays out the fundamental principles envisioned for a post-Assad Syria.

The delegates agreed in general terms on support for the Free Syrian Army, the dissolution of the ruling Baath Party and the exclusion of Assad or other senior regime figures from a place in the transition.

But they failed to reach an agreement on forming a unified body to represent the opposition.

Arguments were rife among the roughly 250 conference participants over key questions, including whether to ask for foreign military intervention to halt the violence and what role religion would play in a post-Assad Syria.

In other developments Tuesday, Assad told a Turkish newspaper that he regretted that Syria shot down a Turkish warplane last month, and a U.S.-based human rights group said the Damascus regime was running a network of torture centers across the country, citing victims’ accounts of beatings, sexual assaults and electric shocks.

Opposition group members interviewed at the Cairo conference by The Associated Press brought into sharp relief their vast disagreements on issues not addressed in the draft charter, suggesting it papered over the divisions that have prevented them from presenting a united front to the international community.

“It’s very dangerous at this point,” said Abdel-Aziz al-Khayyar, who spent 14 years in Syrian prisons and is now part of the Syrian National Coordination Body. “If we fail to unify as the opposition, it is the greatest gift to the regime.”

Since the March 2011 start of the uprising that activists say has killed about 14,000 people, Syrian exiles have organized scores of organizations to collect aid, distribute information and lobby the international community.

But all along, infighting has hampered their ability to court international support. And most groups are led by exiles who have lived outside Syria for years or decades, giving them little credibility with activists inside the country.

Indeed, many inside Syria resent the exile leadership, saying they have taken the glory without sacrificing to face the regime.

“We only recognize those who are working inside the country,” Jamal Akta, a rebel commander in the northern Syrian city of Ariha, said recently. “We’ll only recognize those people outside when they are standing in the ranks with us, when we see something tangible from them, real help, not words.”

Syria’s uprising began in March 2011 with protests calling for political reforms that Assad’s security forces violently quashed. The dissent grew, and many in the opposition have since taken up arms against the regime, transforming the uprising into an armed insurgency. Activists say more than 14,000 people have been killed.

The vast differences among opposition groups were clearly on display at the Cairo conference, hosted by the Arab League, where participants argued late into the evening over the wording of a document meant to define their movement.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Washington applauded the conference for bringing together a broad range of opposition elements, and she said there was “significant progress” on “a political vision statement and a transition plan.”

However, the meeting failed to resolve many large issues facing the opposition after 15 months of deadly violence.

The two largest opposition groups at the meeting distrust each other. Members of the Syrian National Council accused the Syrian National Coordination Body, known as the NCB, of being too close to the regime. For its part, the NCB accuses the SNC of being a front for the Muslim Brotherhood and Western powers.

Late Tuesday, it appeared that efforts to bring all groups under a unified leadership might collapse – not least of which because Kurdish activists walked out over how the draft charter spoke of their minority.

Sheik Morshid el-Huznawi, one of the Kurds to storm out, declared the conference a “failure.”

Even members of the same group disagreed on key issues.

Al-Khayyar, the former prisoner, dismissed those calling for foreign military intervention as “voices that are not very important … waiting for the world to give its kids to die for our cause.”

Another member of the NCB, Abdel-Basit Hamo, said foreign help was welcome.

“When you’re drowning and someone gives you a hand, do you ask whose hand it is first?” he asked.

Others disagreed on the role of religion in a post-Assad Syria.

“The revolution came out of the mosques, so with my respect to minorities, we want a civil state but we must also remember that more than 80 percent of Syria is Muslim,” said Abdel-Ilah al-Mulham, a tribal leader from the besieged city of Homs and an SNC member.

He said he opposed laws that made men and women equal, saying this counters Islamic law in issues such as divorce and inheritance.

At one point, one attendee broke down in tears outside the meeting room.

“Thousands of martyrs and they can’t unite?” said Thaer Al-Hajy, part of a group called the Syrian Revolution Coordination Union. “We are sitting here in hotels and they are down there dying.”

One independent activist said all agreed that Assad must go, but that there are many different views of what follows.

“These are sensitive issues that go back to people’s ideologies,” said Ziad Hassan, 28. “It could take two years, not two days, to get over our differences.”

International diplomacy has failed to stop the bloodshed in Syria. A peace plan put forward by U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan has collapsed, with the almost 300 U.N. observers sent to monitor a cease-fire stuck in their hotels because of continued violence.

On Saturday, world powers endorsed a new plan that calls for the formation of a transitional government with full executive powers. But at the insistence of Syrian ally Russia, the plan does not bar Assad from taking part – making it a nonstarter for the opposition.

In a rare interview with Turkey’s Cumhuriyet daily newspaper, Assad spoke about the Annan plan for the first time, saying he was “pleased” that the decision about Syria’s future was left to its people.

“The Syrian people will decide on everything,” he said.

Assad also said he regretted that Syrian forces had shot down a Turkish fighter jet on June 22. Syria says the jet was flying low inside Syrian airspace. Turkey says it was shot down in international airspace after briefly straying over Syria.

“I say 100 percent, I wish we did not shoot it down,” Assad said. But he stopped short of apologizing, saying Syria fired in self-defense.

Meanwhile, New York-based Human Rights Watch said Assad’s security forces are running more than two dozen torture centers across Syria.

Interviews with more than 200 regime defectors and former detainees revealed more than 20 torture techniques, including sexual assault, acid attacks, punching staples into skin, tearing out fingernails, beatings with sticks and electric shocks to genitals and other body parts, the group said.

It said the apparently state-sanctioned torture constituted a crime against humanity and called on the U.N. Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
