Actions vs. Words - Letter to the Star

'Actions speak louder than words". So goes the theory. But in the insane world of politically-correct ideology we live in, it seems the opposite is true. Iranian President Ahmadinejad's words about the need for a different 'map' in Palestine following a referendum was seized upon by crooked media people and politicians to paint him as someone who wants to nuke Israel. The facts - that Israel has 200 nuclear bombs that would evaporate Iran before Iran could do anything, or that Israel itself has some 2 million Arabs that Ahmadinejad would have to kill in any such imaginary attack on Israel (those Arabs are human shields that make an Iranian nuclear attack on Israel simply impossible), or that tens of thousands of Iranian Jews have been living in Iran without persecution for centuries - were just swept under the rug.

Here is what Ciamak Moresadegh, chairman of the Tehran Jewish Committee has said: ""If you think Judaism and Zionism are one, it is like thinking Islam and the Taliban are the same, and they are not...We have common problems with Iranian Muslims. If a war were to start, we would also be a target. When a missile lands, it does not ask if you are a Muslim or a Jew. It lands."; which is something those planning an attack on Iran on pretenses as fabricated as those used to invade/occupy Iraq should reflect on.

The current attacks in the media on Libby Davies for dating Israel's occupation to 1948, which is strictly accurate, as it was at that time that European Zionist Jews took over portions of Palestine long uninhabited by Jews by force, is reflective of this insanity. NDP leader Jack Layton ordered Ms. Davies to apologize and she did, and he also issued an explanation or apology to Israel. The fact that the new state of Israel was granted support by the UN, and America's subsequent arming of Israel has created a reality 'on the ground' where it is overwhelmingly superior in every way to the pitiful Palestinians does not alter the fact of excessive Israeli responses (crimes) against the Palestinians including the genocide last year in Gaza, and the latest attacks on ships bearing aid to Gaza.

Israel's actions to render any future Palestinian state unviable continue with settlement-building, but our propaganda system persecutes those who dare to criticise Israel, and seeks to crucify them for words uttered, while ignoring the terrible actions that are going on.
