GAZA'S BLOODY NEW YEAR:

–Day 6 of Israel's American supported Genocide: 412 Dead, more than 2000 Injured
–United Nations: At least 25% of dead are civilians, mostly women and children
– According to U.N. Officials in Gaza: 1.5 million residents are facing an "alarming" humanitarian situation under constant Israeli bombardment, with the main power plant shut down, overcrowded hospitals struggling to cope and very limited food supplies.

While the world enjoyed its New Year's Eve celebrations with alcohol, cheers, hugs, kisses and fireworks that lit the sky, Gaza celebrated the occasion with its own blood spilling fireworks courtesy of the Israeli Air Force, Navy, and tanks filling the sky with lights, the land with fire, and the morgues with the bodies of mothers, infants, children, and the elderly.

Given that this genocide in Gaza has been planned during the last six months it's obvious that this was coordinated and approved by Bush, akin to the genocide in Lebanon in 2006. Bush then proclaimed the standard AIPAC provided mantra that Israel has the "right to defend itself" and last week said the same during Israel's open ended genocide against Gaza's civilians. Bush deliberately went on vacation during this genocide to avoid any dyslexic comment that might infuriate AIPAC and its Occupied Knesset, the U.S. Congress.

President Elect Obama has been receiving intelligence from the Bush administration since his election in early November, thus he's definitely aware of Israel's planned devastation on Gaza and must have given his approval as well. He also went on vacation to avoid any comment on bloodied Gaza and thus avoid any backlash from the Jews who paid and those who led his campaign as well as those who now occupy his administration. While he hits American golf balls Israel hits Gaza with American weapons. Obama, the "change" coward has shown his true colors even prior to assuming the Presidency. For all American politicians at all levels of government there is no reward for speaking against Israel and all hell to pay for publicly opposing its agendas.

America owns the Arab regimes thus Israel has complete power over the occupied Palestinians both due to its commission of influence upon America's subservient government and the omission of any courageous opposition by the Arab American regimes despite the enormous wealth of oil and gas they possess.

Such is the embarrassment of riches of the Arab regimes, 23 nations with over 300 million people, politically castrated, economically corrupt, and morally bankrupt. The word "Arab" in Arab regimes has become a four letter word around the world.

For over sixty years the Arab regimes and their "Arab League" of eunuchs, chambermaids to America's interests, have not accomplished one single act that brings honor, dignity, or any executable action to protect the life of one single Arab. On the contrary these regimes are responsible for more Arab deaths, injuries, torture, and disappearance of citizens than the Apartheid racist regime of Israel. They've fought each other over the decades spilling more precious Arab Muslim blood than Israel's brutal occupation of Palestine since 1967.

They met in 2006 over Israel's genocide in Lebanon blaming Hezbollah for provoking Israel's bombing madness of Lebanese civilians and the nation's infrastructure. At least then an Arab League Summit was held, despite the absence of some of these doormats, issuing the patented talking points that are on file since 1948.

On Gaza's genocide the Arab regimes barely sent their Foreign Ministers to meet in Cairo. The usual division between the Pro American doormats and regimes that wanted a stronger actable outcome to stop the genocide against Gaza, lift Israel's deadly blockade, and open the Egyptian Rafah border to allow humanitarian aid to the starving bleeding Palestinians was apparent.

Result: The usual condemnations. The usual formation of a "committee" to go to the United Nations Security Council to work toward a resolution that condemns Israel's military onslaught KNOWING full well and in advance that they will fail given America's veto power. Yet they proceed on these hollow steps because they're incapable of anything else, they can't afford to stand up to Israel's America, and must appear to do something to pacify their angry masses.

President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, the mother of the Arab world, to his eternal damnation even refused to open the Rafah crossing to allow immediate life saving aid to the children of Palestine.

Even the simplest of all actions such as recalling Arab Ambassadors from Israel, or a temporary halt of supplying oil and gas to Israel, or a temporary ban of flights between Arab capitols and Israel, or the denial of entry visas to Israeli tourists, or….or….; not one of these actions was contemplated much less implemented by Arab regimes that have diplomatic relations with Israel such as Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania, or trade relations with Gulf nations such as Qatar. The Arab League Boycott was eliminated at the behest of Saudi Arabia (precondition to joining the World Trade Organization) and Gulf nations. Nine other non-Arab Muslim nations have relations with Israel.

But by this shameful inaction the Arab League did succeed in postponing if not cancelling altogether the alleged "Arab Summit" of the treacherous traitors to Islam and the Arab masses. Even if they met not one single Arab expects anything out of these recurrent summits that have become a laughing stock in the Arab world and abroad.

While Israeli Rabbis proclaim:

"The nation of Israel is pure and the Arabs are a nation of donkeys. They are an evil disaster, an evil devil, and a nasty affliction. The Arabs are donkeys and beasts. They want to take our girls. They are endowed with true filthiness. There is pure and there is impure and they are impure."
–Rabbi David Batzri, head of the Magen David Yeshiva in Jerusalem [Haaretz, March 21, 2006]And:

"One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail."
–Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994 [N.Y. Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1]

Could this be true of the Arabs?

But wait dear Arabs, have no fear, the "Arab League" is here. It proclaims loudly:

"One million Palestinians are not worth an American fingernail".
–Arab League of 23 Nations, January 1, 2009, according to Mohamed Khodr

Despite mass protests across most of the Arab world (except in Saudi Arabia, it's not permitted to disturb the Royal Arab American family) against the regimes and in support of the Palestinians, these Arab pygmies fear Israel and America more then they fear their own people.

So I tell my Arab brethren across the Arab world, if you have one atom left of dignity and honor, if you have one atom of anger and frustration, if you feel one atom of embarrassment and shame toward these eunuch leaders, if you love Allah (swt), if you are Prophet's Muhammad's followers, then raise your voices and arms and FIRE these leaders from the chairs and loot they occupy and steal.

Begin with removing these American doormats who occupy your lives, lands, and resources for the sake of America. Return to Islam and do not believe the pseudo-intellectuals in the Arab world who parrot the lie that Islam is the reason for your lack of progress. Reclaim your dignity and honor and with such you will free Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and any Muslim nation subjugated by foreign interests. Arabs and Muslims seek peace with the world but only if they are truly free, independent, and respected by the world.

With God on our side we shall fear no one and He will bring us the promised victory. "Remember Me, and I shall Remember You"

Give victory to the cause of Allah (swt) and He shall make you victorious.

"O you who have attained to faith! If you help the cause of God, He will help you, and will make firm your step." (Qur'an: 47:7)

Palestine will be free when both the Arabs and Americans are free from the shackles and stranglehold Israel and its powerful lobby maintain on America's foreign policy.

Americans only need to observe the most shameful spectacle of American politicians from the White House to Congress, to the Supreme Court, the media, Hollywood, and academia boisterously and gladly proclaiming their love, allegiance, and support of Israel at the annual APAC conference with words never spoken in allegiance to America, the flag, or America's suffering citizens.

No official or candidate who's running for office can avoid the requisite pilgrimage to Israel and the butt licking speech to AIPAC.

Here's just one example of a speech delivered by then Presidential Candidate Al Gore to AIPAC's annual conference on May 18, 2000.

The United States has an absolute, uncompromising commitment to Israel's security and an absolute conviction that Israel alone must decide the steps necessary to ensure that security. That is Israel's prerogative. We accept that. We endorse that. Whatever Israel decides cannot, will not, will never, not ever, alter our fundamental commitment to her security."

The archives on AIPAC's website of such political speeches by Presidents, Senators, Congressmen and candidates are replete with the same love fest of allegiance to Israel, a fact that has prompted some to state that we should change the part of the allegiance to the American flag from "one nation under God", to, "one nation under Israel."

Just as the Arabs must reclaim their governments so must Americans demand and protest in mass numbers in Washington D.C. and across our nation to reclaim our government from Israel's tentacles. Obama was put in office by the passion and energy of a majority of Americans, especially the young, and thus he must listen to our voices and declare our second independence, this time from Israel.

If we remain silent then we must endure in silence terrorism against us and our foreign interests and accept our complicity whenever our money and weapons allow Israel's "reign of terror" to continue against the hapless occupied Palestinians.

I strongly believe we as Americans can easily muster one million Americans to protest in Washington D.C. soon after Obama assumes the Presidency to reclaim our nation from domestic and foreign special interests, the very groups Obama and every other politician rail against only to be ensnared by these lobbies once they arrive in our capitol

I am at a loss to explain the silence of Arab and Muslim Americans as Gaza bleeds but then again we too have abandoned our faith for the almighty dollar.

May God forgive our silence, impotence and ineptitude as Arabs and Muslims and may He bless the Palestinians with His mercy, patience, guidance, and strength as they endure the genocide committed by one of the most powerful American equipped armies in the world.

May the world find its courage and voice to reject Israel's hegemony, militarism, and defiance of all human laws and morals and impose a peace that will deflate the worldwide tension created by the creation of this Nazi like State. Not even the Nazis killed Jews with aircraft bombs, naval missiles or tank shells.

Amen.

"There is no more Palestine. Finished"
–Moshe Dayan, former Israeli Defense Minister, TIME Magazine (July 30, 1973)
