I have been trying not to let the relentless deluge of lies, propaganda and bullshit from the media of the “left” affect me too much recently. Even the so-called neutrals have been called and outed on their love for all things war and death and Crusade.
And while the BBC patronises the sons and daughters of migrants with their touchy-feely “oh we love the subcontinent, we really do, didn’t we leave on such good terms?” crap, I am reminded of the stark reality of the centuries of rape, murder, barbarism and looting inflicted by the British Empire on our parents and forefathers, the bitter legacy of the Victorian holocaust that wiped out tens of millions of people through rapacious, imperialist savagery.
I digress. The subcontinent will get its own post at some time. We really have to stop all this nostalgia for the British Raj that even some Uncle Toms from the home of my parents ludicrously express. Later…
What’s really pissed me off today, is this piece of utter cunt from the Guardian.
Where in the name of balance do I start?
The beginning is a good place, so let’s, shall we?
Israeli planes today struck a car in the Gaza strip, killing six Hamas militants, Palestinian officials said today.
Aircraft targeted the car as it left a Hamas military installation, Dr Muawiya Hassanin, of the Palestinian health ministry, said.Hamas officials identified the people who died as militants. The Israeli army said its aircraft had hit a car carrying gunmen who had earlier fired rockets into Israel.
So far, so par….let’s temporarily sideline the idea that Palestinians, who are wholly within their inalienable rights to defend themselves from occupation, tyranny, barbarism, child-murder and oppression, might have the higher moral ground from which to pelt a few dozen Israeli coward soldiers with stones until they die… (hmmm… why are some of you flinching at that, but perfectly OK about Palestinian children being murdered regularly? Reaching for a post-hoc racist justification for your sick, imperialist, racist, zionist attitude, are you? Or maybe just waking up, at last? In which case, marhaba)
Local residents said ambulances sped to the scene, near the al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza strip.
Recall, Gaza is probably the most concentrated refugee camp in the world as it is…
Last week, six Palestinians, including several militants, died in a series of Israeli strikes in Gaza. The strikes came as Israeli troops moved into the territory in one of the biggest incursions since Hamas seized control in mid-June.
Did you read that? If the Guardian (might as well call it Zeitgeist, or Gestalt, eh?) had been reporting on Israelis, the bolded text would have read including several civilians. Do you understand what is implicit in this zionaxis propaganda? That it’s ok to kill a few civilians if they’re Arab/Muslim, but not if they’re white/Jewish/Christian
And then the twinkle-toe-dipped-in-the-water “incursion” softly-softly-fuckee-Muslim eh? It isn’t an “incursion”. It is an illegal occupation. It is an invasion. It is an oppression. It is a slow-burn-holocaust. Illegal by the Jewist world’s standards for 40 years this year and illegal by any moral standards since the Nakbah, 60 years ago funnily enough…about the time that Britain were fucking over another part of the Muslim world. If the tables were turned, these bastards would have used the word “aggression”, or “raid”, would they not?
And since Hamas seized control? That happened when they were given an enormous mandate by the Palestinian people in a democratic election, with at least three times the proportion voting for them as British voted for that ubercunt Blair. Democracy. Remember?
Since Hamas took over Gaza, the Palestinian territories have been split, with Hamas Islamists entrenched in Gaza and Fatah in parts of the West Bank not controlled by Israel.
Hamas Islamists? Hello? Why don’t you say “Olmert Jewists”? Or “Sharon Jewists”? Or “Peres Jewists”? Or “Blair Christianists”? Or “Bush Christianists”? All of these not-so-dark fuckers have killed a hell of a lot more people you know, except, the people they have killed are mostly Muslims, so that’s OK, yeah?
And how about that bit of sneaky shit about the West Bank not being controlled by Israel. A prominent white South African politician, active during apartheid, but now reformed, visited the West Bank recently and said that you pigs with your bantustans and private roads and your apartheid wall and your tree-culling and civilian-hunting and your dirty, scummy, Jewist, murdering Zionist settlers were more racist and more evil than anything the Afrikaans ever managed at their nadir. Everyone who isn’t braindead has learned that.
Israel and the international community have backed the Palestinian Authority president and Fatah leader, Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas has pariah status in Gaza, which remains economically isolated.
No. Emphatically no. Only rich, racist, Zionaxis, Christianist, Jewist hypocrites have backed Abu Mazen, the craven sycophant that is happy to fuck the Palestinians over. And “Hamas has pariah status in Gaza”?? Err how can they be pariahs in Gaza when most of Gaza voted them in? And how does Gaza, without fuel today, remain economically isolated, precisely? By the munificence of which countries-that-give-Israel-arms-or-money-with-which-children-are-killed-and-millions-of-cluster-bombs-are-dropped, exactly?
As a dear friend of mine tells me often; it’s only subliminal if you don’t notice it!

Thank you for your most erudite and revealing post including and especially the wonderfully clear and emphatic Anglo Saxon language.
There most certainly is a concerted media campaign to demonise Islam and muslims and this must be brought to the attention of all muslims worldwide. I have stopped buying the arsewipe you generously describe as the Guardian and the rest of the anti muslim media stormtroopers.
Ref the Palestinians I cannot see anend to their suffering at the hands of the Jewnazis anytime soon.
You see, there’s just too many of the Zionazis in positions of power in the US and EU.
And this at a time whilst these insidious bastards create and stir up trouble between Sunnis and Shias etc etc.
Precisely how many militants and how many children were killed? “Several”, out of a total of six dead, suggests a strike rate of at least fifty percent militants. Being killed is an occupational hazard for militants and soldiers. As a matter of interest, what are the comparative militant/nonmilitant strike rates of both Hamas and the IDF?
the Raj is even respected by some Indians themselves. I know a Doctor of Physics who comes from Tamil Nadu. I had a bit of a haated debate this this person once. This Person said things like {cant remember the EXACT words but these will be pretty close to the mark} “The British were good for India. They made the roads, Laws and brought education and civil rights, whereas before there was nothing” I even think this person said the Brits did aways with all that when I mentioned the Caste system.
That India could have, without the Brits, built their own roads, schools and places of Education didn’t seem to have ccured to this person. I pointed out the massacre of Indians by the Brits and the response was kind of ‘it was necessary’. I was also accused of being a Supporter of Saddam Hussein – becuase I despised every acition the US was doing there.
Now we have the Mr. M Singh getting friendly with the US (who of course is going to try and play India off against China and eventually Russia, yet many Indian parliamentarians are protesting the shift towards the US).
It was clear that this person reveered the Brits and was of a very Western mindset. If however I was to ask a street boy in Mumbai about his love of the Brits or some of the families who dies at the hands of British policy (something between 23 and 110 million I read last year) then they might have a different reply.
India is said to be having an economic boom – that is BS. The wealthy are becoming even more wealthy and a whole new group of people are being given the trappings of modern living. They are called trappings becasuse that is exactly what they are – trapping. They trap their recipients withlong term loans and a 9-5 lifestyle, a destruction of quality farmland to make way for Dams and so on.
It would be nice if the Indian govt would use some of “its” new wealth to persure the bastards that have questions to answer over the death of thousands from the Union Carbide plant.
That isn’t even to mention the road of tears!
without a competing (and similarly well-oiled) propagandu [sic] machine, we are destined to have our post-colonial asses kicked like this for some time to come. (no, i don’t believe al-jazeera is the answer, though it might yet prove to be a step in the right direction.)
