KERRY WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE
[With thanks to John Murphy.]
Why is the Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States,
Senator John Kerry, kowtowing to
Israel?
In a speech at Brown University Kerry said,
"...we must again reaffirm we are enlisted for the duration -
and reaffirm our belief that the cause of Israel must be the cause of
America
- and the cause of people of conscience everywhere".

I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS
As salamu 'alayka wa Rahmatullâh wa Barakatullâh,
Al-Hamdulillah! for your daughter.
I remember her waiting patiently in a refugee camp so that her husband may
be able to come home with her.
Even I was proud of her -- and I did not know her.
You must be a very proud father and mother. La ilaha ill-Allahah.
Fi sabil Allah,
Hamdiyah
------------------------------
Thank you Sis. Hamdiyah. I have two daughters.
The one who got her Phd. is different from the one who was in a refugee camp.

[Killing of
Palestinian
children is almost a daily tragedy now.]
----------------------------------------------------
Three Palestinian children killed
22/04/2004 - 8:35:11 PM
Three Palestinian children have been killed on the third day of an
Israeli army raid on the Gaza town of Beit Lahiya.
A 16-year-old boy was killed by a large-calibre bullet in his back while
throwing rocks at soldiers, a girl, nine,
was shot in the stomach outside her apartment complex and a
four-year-old girl died of tear gas inhalation, doctors believe.
Mohammed Elmalfouh, 16, is the third stone-thrower to be killed in as many
days, along with seven gunmen and six bystanders.
Sitting in a mourning tent, Mohammed’s family tried to make sense of his
death. His father, Rassem, said it was God’s will, but he had trouble
fighting off the tears.
Mohammed’s older brother, 17-year-old Ahmed, still had blood stains on his
hands and jeans, from a last embrace in the hospital morgue.
"No one can fill his place in my heart," Ahmed said of his brother.
On Thursday morning, Ahmed stood on a balcony and just caught a glimpse of
his brother as he left the house, notebook in hand. Mohammed told his
mother he was on his way to a private math tutorial. Schools were
closed in Beit Lahiya, as on previous days, because they are
too close to Israeli tank positions.
Mohammed never made it to math class. He walked several hundred meters in
the direction of the Israeli settlement of Nissanit. Earlier in the day,
tanks had pulled out of Beit Lahiya and deployed on the outskirts of
the settlement. Dozens of teens followed the armoured vehicles,
Mohammed among them, throwing stones and drawing machine gun
fire across sand dunes and empty plots.
Mohammed was about 300 meters from a tank when he was killed by a machine
gun bullet in the back, Palestinian medics said.
His father, Rassem, head of the Palestinian Authority body that deals with
volunteer organisations, said he had told his children, four boys and a girl,
that education is important. However, he said, it is impossible to shield
them from the violence around them.
"I was and I am still doing my best as a father to protect my children,"
Rassem Elmalfouh said. "But this did not mean that I am advising my sons
to grow up like cowards."
In more than three years of fighting, Israeli troops have repeatedly
raided Gaza towns and refugees camps in search of militants.
In a typical raid, tanks rumbling through the streets are pelted with
stones or come under fire from gunmen.
The Israeli military said that in Thursday’s confrontations, about 100
Palestinians threw stones, but also firebombs, grenades and explosive
devices toward the tanks.
The army said soldiers fired at armed men, not at stone throwers.
However, a large apartment complex in Beit Lahiya, home to about 4,000
people, was within firing range of the tanks and the facades of several
apartments showed bullet marks.
Nine-year-old Mona Abutabaq was standing outside her apartment building
when she was shot in the stomach by a machine gun bullet and critically
wounded. She died several hours later.

Analysis
The Thoughts of WOLFOWITZ: the JEWISH BRAIN BEHIND the WAR
by Buut Shikan [Idol Breaker]
Most observers agree that President
Bush
is not an intellectual. The concepts which powered the assault on
Iraq
could not have come from him when we see that he is incapable of delivering
more than one-liners or two-liners on any issue. Rumsfeld, compared to Bush,
is a thinker but his thinking does not amount to more than having fun with
the information already provided him by his sources. Cheyney is seen by
many as the manipulator and opportunist behind the war party and is
perceived as the representative of big business in the war mongering
group which is running America.
Wolfowitz, the Deputy Defense Secretary, is probably the brain behind the
war, a Jew who has made it almost to the top of the Bush-led power structure.
He has a concept of the need for war and knows how to "sell" the war to the
American people. All the others in the Bush team seem to borrow from
Wolfowitz's "wisdom."
On April 21, 2004 Wolfowitz spoke about the current situation in Iraq to
some of America's top policy makers. [The speech was televised on
C-Span
on April 23.] Here is
New Trend's
analysis of Wolfowitz's mental patterns as reflected in his speech:
DEEP HATRED OF SADDAM HUSSAIN.
As a
Zionist
Jew, Wolfowitz knows that Saddam Hussain was the enemy of the Israeli
presence in the Middle East. As long as Saddam was there, the Palestinian
people had State support for their cause and a willingness at a
conventional STATE LEVEL to condemn the existence of the Zionist entity
planted by force in the heartland of the
Arab/Islamic
world. Wolfowitz realized that there was no chance of Saddam becoming
Sadat, who recognized Israel, or King Hussain who worked for the
CIA,
or Musharraf who betrayed the Taliban friends of
Pakistan.
Saddam had to be killed or removed by force.
DEMONIZATION OF SADDAM.
Wolfowitz is aware that Americans can see that the "liberation" of Iraq has
failed. As a good propagandist, he begins his attempt to justify the war
by demonizing the Iraqi President who would rather live in a hole in the
ground than surrender. Wolfowitz PAINTS SADDAM WITH A BROAD BRUSH.
The rhetoric of the Jew is powerful, some of it seemingly borrowed from
the Holocaust myth about Hitler. He refers to Saddam's
"unimaginable brutality." He knows that even anti-war Americans will not
dare to challenge the stories about Saddam.
Wolfwotiz claims that Saddam laid down a "blanket of fear" on Iraq.
Once he has expressed his thesis, which no one in his audience will
challenge, he tries to sound convincing by bringing in legends of the
atrocities allegedly committed by Saddam. He talks of Saddam ordering the
execution of his party dissidents at the hands of their own comrades and
that he made videos of the executions. [Only a very few Americans would ask,
if all this really happened at the beginning of Saddam's rule, wasn't he a
FRIEND OF AMERICA AT THAT TIME? Slick operator that he is, the Jew does not
touch that issue.]
Some of Wolfowitz's claims are downright silly. He claims that there are
300,000 people killed by Saddam lying in mass graves in Iraq. Few in
Wolfowitz's audience would dare ask: HOW DO YOU KNOW? HAVE YOUR PEOPLE BEEN
OUT COUNTING BODIES? Has there been an impartial inquiry?
Wolfowitz's caricature of Saddam is so horrifying that people are led to
forget that the EXCUSE for attacking Iraq was not human rights of Iraqis
but WMDs (which are now not even mentioned in the war party's speeches)
The cunning of Wolfowitz's demonization of Saddam has a purpose:
After painting a horrifying picture of Iraq under Saddam, he asks:
Isn't Iraq better off without him? Havn't we done everyone a favor!
THE TECHNIQUE OF REDUCTIONISM
Wolfowitz uses a conceptual framework to explain the RESISTANCE in Iraq
which would justify not only the presence of American troops in Iraq but
the need for their continued stay there into the future. It's called
"reductionism." It implies that ONLY those who are actually shooting at
American troops are against the occupation. He wants to convince Americans
that the VAST MAJORITY who are not shooting are with America!
This again is a weak, self-serving argument. History shows that in any
resistance movement, only A VERY FEW can actually pick up guns and shoot
at the invaders owing to a variety of reasons.
SPECIFIC CONTENT OF REDUCTIONISM
Americans who listen to Bush, Rumsfeld or various American generals will
soon realize that the content of their "thoughts" comes from Wolfowitz
and Jewish think tanks available to him, such as that of Richard Perle.
For Wolfowitz, only three very narrow groups of "dead enders" are fighting
against America in Fallujah. These are: 1. Foreign fighters (20%).
2. Fidayeen Saddam militia. 3. Mukhabarat (Saddam's secret police)
The rest of the people want Iraq to be "free" and "democratic."
SERIOUS ERRORS in REDUCTIONIST ARGUMENT
Wolfwotiz does not realize that his arguments might be subjected to analysis,
such as the one we are carrying out here.
HOW COULD FOREIGH FIGHTERS get into Fallujah unless the Iraqi people are so
strongly opposed to American occupation that they would bring Islamic
fighters from other countries into their own homes?
The Fallujah people are not Shias; hence the fighters would have to be from
Sunni countries WHICH ARE ALL SUPPORTING THE U.S. So the fighters
(mujahideen) would be able to come in and be effective only if there were
EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS of public support for them.
Saddam Hussain, according to just about all insider accounts for the years
1991-2003, enjoyed mass support from the Iraqi people, especially Sunnis.
The conventional Iraqi army did not fight. The Fidayeen Saddam have to be
people from the masses who have VOLUNTEERED to fight the American forces.
The WEAKEST part of the Wolfowitz argument concerns the Mukhabarat or
Saddam's secret police. When a regime breaks down, its secret police and
agencies of repression are the ones who make compromises with the new power.
Either they go into deep cover or they join the occupiers, as happened in
East Germany after 1945. In Hungary, during the anti-Communist uprising of
1956, the people hunted down and hanged the secret police agents.
Why would the Mukhabarat in Iraq be joining the Islamic resistance?
Wolfowitz argument has no feet to stand on.. If his story about Saddam's
repression are true, the people would be rushing to U.S. army headquarters
and pinpointing the homes of secret police officers for air attacks by
Ac-130 gunships which the U.S. has used so liberally against the people of
Fallujah!
WOLFOWITZ HAS A KILLER INSTINCT. He believes that to 'pacify' Fallujah,
all you have to do is to kill the fighters. He gives the example of the
city of Samarra where he says the Americans killed anywhere from 200 to 700
opponents, and now all is "peaceful" there.
REDUCTINISM APPLIED TO SHIA RESISTANCE
How many a time have Americans heard that the supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr
are "thugs" and that the Sayyid has "little or no support" among the Shias!
Guess where that is coming from? It is the product of Wolfowitz's mind.
It came as shock to Wolfowitz that the entire Jewish dream of a "liberated"
Iraq was going to crash if the Shias and Sunnis united. He quickly came up
with the idea that Al-Sadr is a fringe element.
[Wolfowitz has other weird ideas too. For instance, he tried to make a case
that the 34 countries which have contingents in Iraq constitute a
"coalition" fighting to give "freedom" and "democracy" to Iraq.]
[He counts notorious Negraponte, tipped to be the first U.S. "ambassador"
of a "free" Iraq, among his best friends. The appointment of Negraponte
might well have come about owing to Wolfowitz influence.]
INAPPROPRIATE COMPARISONS with WORLD WAR II
Part of the Jewish way of thinking is to try to color events in the light
of the Second World War. [Remember the Six Million victims of the Holocaust.]
In his presentation, Wolfowitz tried to minimize American losses in Iraq
by making false comparisons with Normandy and Tarawa etc.
Only a person who thinks he has a captive audience would make such
comparisons.
Germany and Japan were heavily armed and sophisticated military powers.
IRAQ is a helpless country with no air force, no artillery, no tanks,
no armaments factories. The mujahideen are using improvised explosive
devices [IEDs] against the American armada, sometimes a couple of
mortar shells tied together and attached to a fuse.
The invasion of Iraq took place because it was supposed to be a "cake walk."
Saddam was supposedly so unpopular that his people were not expected to
fight. The U.S. was a hammer coming down to smash a pea nut.
Within that context, Iraq has proved to be a failure for the U.S.
If Wolfowitz and the
Israeli-Jewish
lobby have their way, the war in Iraq will continue and the U.S. will
keep pumping the blood of its youth into this cruel war which former
President Carter called both "unjust" and "unnecessary."
It is an Israeli war with the Jews using the mighty USA as their proxy.
Wolfowitz is their best propagandist.

Press Release
Issued by Islamic Center of the Triad

Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Rantisi was and is the the symbol of Palestinian
resistance. He opposed the occupation of Palestinian lands and inspired
the Palestinians to stand up for their rights.
In a situation where the unarmed Palestinian people are resisting the
Israeli military juggernaut, the most powerful tool of violence in the
middle east, Dr. Abdul Aziz Al-Rantisi was a voice of truth and integrity.
He was compassionate towards widows, orphans, the oppressed and the
downtrodden, but he was fearless and firm against the oppressors. Owing
to his influence, the Palestinians endorsed a principle which is fundmental
to civilization, that people who do not want to be enslaved must stand up
and resist even if in the process they have to offer the ultimate sacrifice.
The Palestinian people loved him Above all, he was a man of God.
Israel has set the grounds for its own downfall in the murder it has
committed against the Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and African nations.
Israel has exposed itself as the cowardly, terrorist entity it is.

New Trend reveals the contents of an internal
Al Jazeera
memo which insults the station's heroic journalists
While fearless Al Jazeera journalists and camera crew are risking their
lives to reveal what is happening in Iraq, it appears there's just as much
flak flying in their direction from their homebase in Qatar.
Remember how New Trend's source in the satellite station revealed
Palestinian Ahmad Sheikh, the new chief editor, was censoring the news
so as not to offend his American masters?
Well just as you think things can't possibly get any worse, see the
following internal memo sent out to the heroic TV staff by one of
Ahmad Sheikh's loyal servants.
It seems the so-called armchair jihadi now wants to protect American
viewers from the brutal realities that are confronting the men, women and
children of occupied Iraq 24/7.
Read below:

Subject: Violence in the News
It is clear that scenes of extreme violence are filling our news bulletins.
Many people are upset, not least Mr Ahmed Sheikh, the Editor-in-Chief.
violence that is true to life is regarded as desensitising viewers,
although some might argue that its use may serve a moral or a social point.
Therefore, consideration should be given to the suitability of scenes of
violence in the news.
shots containing excessive violence should be avoided altogether.
It is always necessary to step back and think about their impact on
viewers at home watching them with their young children.
The volume of harrowing and distressing material from Iraq has been
dominating ours news bulletins, and it is often not well handled.
I think a balance should be struck between the demands of truth and the
danger of desensitising people!
