Page 208, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine," Prof. Ilan Pappe. Rape:
We have three kinds of sources that report on rape, and thus know that severe cases of rape did take place. It remains more difficult to form an idea of how many women and young girls were victimised by Jewish troops in this way. Our first source is the international organisations such as the UN and the Red Cross. They never submitted a collective report, but we do have short and concise accounts of individual cases. Thus, for instance, very soon after Jaffa was taken, a Red Cross official, de Meuron, reported how Jewish soldiers had raped a girl and killed her brother. He remarked in general that as Palestinian men were taken away as prisoners, their women were left at the mercy of the Israelis. Yitzhak Chizik wrote to Kaplan in the letter men¬tioned above: ‘And about the rapes, Sir, you probably have already heard.’ In an earlier letter to Ben-Gurion, Chizik reported how ‘a group of soldiers [had] burst into a house, killed the father, injured the mother and raped the daughter.’
We know of course more about cases in places where outside observers were present, but this does not mean women were not raped else¬where. Another Red Cross report tells of a horrific incident that began on 9 December 1948 when two Jewish soldiers burst into the house of al-Hajj Suleiman Daud, who had been expelled with his family to Shaqara. The soldiers hit his wife and kidnapped his eighteen-year-old daughter. Seventeen days later the father was able to get hold of an Israeli lieutenant, to whom he protested. The rapists appeared to belong to Brigade Seven. It is impossible to know what exactly happened in those seventeen days before the girl was set free; the worst maybe presumed.
The second source is the Israeli archives, which only cover cases in which the rapists were brought to trial. David Ben-Gurion seems to have been informed about each case and entered them into his diary. Every few days he has a sub-section: ‘Rape Cases’. One of these records the incident Chizik had reported to him: ‘a case in Acre where soldiers wanted to rape a girl. They killed the father and wounded the mother, and the officers cov¬ered for them. At least one soldier raped the girl.’
Jaffa seems to have been a hothouse for the cruelty and war crimes of the Israeli troops. One particular battalion, Battalion 3 - commanded by the same person who had been in charge when its soldiers committed massacres in Khisas and Sa‘sa, and cleansed Safad and its environs - was so savage in its behaviour that its soldiers were suspected of being involved in most of the rape cases in the city, and the High Command decided it best to withdraw them from the town. However, other units were no less guilty of molesting women in the first three to four months of the occupation. The worst period
was towards the end of the first truce (July 8) when even Ben-Gurion became so apprehensive about the pattern of behaviour that emerged among the soldiers in the occupied cities, especially the private looting and the rape cases, that he decided not to allow certain army units to enter Nazareth after his troops had taken the town during the ‘ten-day’ war.
Our third source is the oral history we have from both the victimisers and the victims. It is very difficult to get the facts in the former case and almost impossible, of course, in the latter. But their stories have already helped shed light on some of the most appalling and inhuman crimes in the war that Israel waged against the Palestinian people.
The perpetrators can only talk, it seems, shielded by the safe distance of years. This is how a particularly appalling case came to light just recently. On 12 August 1949, a platoon of soldiers in the Negev, based in Kibbutz Nirim not far for Beit Hanun, on the northern edge of today’s Gaza Strip, captured a twelve-year-old Palestinian girl and locked her up for the night in their military base near the kibbutz. For the next few days she became the platoon’s sex slave as the soldiers shaved her head, gang-raped her and in the end murdered her. Ben-Gurion lists this rape too in his diary but it was censored out by his editors. On 29 October 2003, the Israeli newspaper Ha aretz publicised the story based on the testimonies of the rapists: twenty- two soldiers had taken part in the barbaric torture and execution of the girl. When they were then brought to trial, the severest punishment the court handed down was a prison term of two years for the soldier who had done the actual killing.
Oral recollection also exposed cases of rape throughout the occupation of Palestine’s villages: from the village of Tantura in May, through the vil¬lage of Quia in June, and ending with one story after another of abuse and rape in the villages seized during Operation Hiram. Many of the cases were corroborated by UN officials who interviewed a number of women from the villages who were willing to come forward and talk about their experi¬ences. When, many years later, some of these people were interviewed, it was obvious how difficult it still proved for the men and women from the village to talk about names and details in these cases, and the interviewers came away with the impression that they all knew more than they wished or were able to tell.
Eyewitnesses also reported the callous and humiliating way in which women were stripped of all their jewellery, to the very last item. The same
women were then harassed physically by the soldiers, which in Tantura ended in rape. Here is how Najiah Ayyub described it: ‘I saw that the troops who encircled us tried to touch the women but were rejected by them. When they saw that the women would not surrender, they stopped. When we were on the beach, they took two women and tried to undress them, claiming they had to search the bodies.’
Tradition, shame, and trauma are the cultural and psychological barri¬ers that prevent us from gaining the fuller picture of the rape of Palestinian women within the general plunder Jewish troops wreaked with such feroc¬ity in both rural and urban Palestine during 1948 and 1949. Perhaps in the fulness of time someone will be able to complete this chapter of the chroni¬cle of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

nd. I do not make a living. I have always found the idea morally repugnant . But for the last dozen years or so I have had and lived the courage of that conviction, willing each day for it to take my life . I refuse to have my existence be a form of cancer which is exactly what the notion of quote making a living on quote is. We are here, as is every healthy form of life, to serve the well being of the greater body, regardless of the personal price to our selves. This is what I do. I hate the decades I existed in another way.

Whatever time I have left will be spent in exactly the same way. I find some small measure of pleasure in the realization that by our profoundly inhumane permission to our government and fellow human beings to savagely slowly exterminate Palestinians we are bringing that exact same fate to our children and their children in the not too distant future. I love justice and this is justice.

article. Israel to receive 6 billion dollars for destroying Palestine. Note: I will not be voting this year. A year ago I was anticipating devoting my entire being to this election. Then the vote in Congress this summer where 100% of the representatives in Congress from both parties voted to slaughter Palestinian children, to exterminate the Palestinians, to keep their jobs. I saw then what I see now. There is no lesser of two evils. There is absolutely evil and absolute evil. Total corruption . The American system should not be saved. The American people, the most destructive group on earth, Should not be saved. Palestinians should be saved. If and when they are saved there will be reason to reconsider what I just shared.

nd.I'll keep on saying it out for duty to future children: HOW CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY - I CAN PROVIDE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR A CHILD I'D BRING INTO THIS 2014 WORLD!?!?!?! Truly, I say with huge horror and sorrow, it seems to me a criminal selfishness on the part of any parent to bring a child into the world today. I know of no objective views to the contrary. FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE... THINK! ADOPT! Don't make new children suffer. If I were an unfertilized embryo I'd consider it an unforgivable crime to bring me into the world today.

nd. A guy, a mean white guy, in the shelter here was spreading rumors last night, I was told today, about me getting mugged... real bad. Hmmmm. Hmmm. He's a real racist, a real hater. Of course he would hate me. We've never had any words, but he would know I am not... and he would hate that about me, one of the few white guys here. Makes sense.

***** nd. Larry, a retired Marine, black guy, nice guy... I saw him with a tie on today, walking out of the building. I commented how nice he looked, which he did. He said something like, 'You know, someone told me once - just because you live in a homeless shelter, you don't need to look like it.' I said, 'I have a lot of admiration for this guy,' pointing to the name Jesus fashioned in a cross on my shirt. 'You know where he lived? Do you,' I asked him firmly? 'In the streets, he was homeless,' I said when my friend looked confused. I finished with a stern, 'SOCIETY HAS A LOT MORE TO ANSWER FOR REGARDING THOSE IN THIS SHELTER... THAN DOES ANYONE LIVING HERE.' Larry was going off to look for a [sh*t] job. My friend Paul, bunk next to mine... spends all day, every day, looking for [sh*t] jobs, cleaning office buildings that in 100 lifetimes he couldn't get a decent paying job within. He has looked all day, every day, for months and months. I see him go out, I see him come back. 99% of those in this society, middle or upper economic classes, better get down on their knees and pray that there IS NO LOVING GOD OF US ALL, NO LOVING PARENT OF US ALL... OR ANYTHING LIKE IT... THAT THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN THE END FOR EACH OF US... BECAUSE IF THERE IS..............

click for detail. A well-intended person on FB to me based on recent posts: "When you get bitter you start to sound like them. George Bush said "if your not for us then your against us. Not so, it was only a question, if you wish to un friend me then so be it, You may need friends some time." My reply: "To YOU (and maybe to most) I sound 'bitter.' To YOU (and maybe to near all) I sound 'like them.' I'm ok with that from you, from the masses, David. Also, Friendship can't be won or lost. Friendship, the real thing, which is the ONLY Friendship I recognize or value, is unconditional. And I want ZERO Friendship for me. I only want it for the global neediest, and like the masses of westerners, in your Head David I think you see them, but not in the All Important Heart, based on the day to day activity I see from you. Just bein honest, and of course I could be wrong. Solidarity, complete lived solidarity is what you get when the Heart is involved, and I don't see that in your day to day activity, nor in hardly anyone, which is why everything is going to hell; and why I'm viewed by most in the way you say. No credit to me I AM in Solidarity with the neediest and that is totally incomprehensible to nearly 100% of those that consider themselves activists." Oh, and regarding Bitter? OUTRAGED!!!! HORRIFIED!!!! FURIOUS!!!! 500 OF MY CHILDREN 1500 OF MY FAMILY... WERE SHREADED WITH US ANTI-PERSONEL BOMBS WITHIN THE LAST 3 MONTHS FOR BEING PALESTINIAN!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T HAVE F'ING TIME TO BE BITTER!!!!!! I HATE WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH EVERY ATOM IN MY BODY!!!!!! I'LL FIGHT IT UNVIOLENTLY, OUT OF LOVE, WITH MY LAST BREATH. Heart

KG: Now how can one not be bitter at times? How can one not be angry?
We all see the injustice in the world , the pain endured by our human family and the rape of our Mother Earth!
That 'bitter' feeling, that fire in your belly is what drives activism and promotes change!
Hell yes the emotion has purpose and everyone should feel it from time to time! To be driven by it !
As far as sounding like 'them' ... Take a step back on this.... We are all in the same boat it that us and them crap that draws lines . Lines between a front that should be united. The human family front!
Maybe you judge James because you don't fully understand him and the war we wages , the vigilant man of love and peace.
He calls a spade a spade and fights for truth.... Raising awareness ! Facebook is a but one tool used to reach out to educate.
Judge him only if you are willing to do as he , sleep in his bed, walk in his shoes and feel as he feels..... Other then that.... Easy to be a onlooker harder to actually do the job.

Maybe not just seeing a man sounding bitter but what that man actually does and why. The understanding if that ... Well , it kinda changes everything !

pic. article. Moshe Dyan: "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother." I've thought this for years about Israel, just from watching their behavior. And here it is in words. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the quote or the article... but I see it as Obvious, Absolute Truth none the less. This disease of Ziionism will destroy us if we don't cure it, first. May be too late. May not be.
article. Yes it's true, the United States really is the greatest country in the world – but in what? The United States emerges No. 1 among nations in its capacity for violence and falls far behind other nations in providing for the well-being of its people.

nd. I'm guessing my final years will be spent in and out of prison here in the DC area. Predictably, looks like we homeless in DC will more and more receive the barbaric, Elysium-esqe treatment that we homeless around the country are receiving - jail, prison, forced deportation. I'll not go quietly. It is obscene. God, the Creator, whatever she is, did not give earth, america, any land... to the rich. She gave it to ALL her children. Not the garbage for the poor and the feast for the rich. That is an obscene lie that should have died centuries ago. I will not go quietly.

nd. Israhell/1984... is entirely about destroying the integrity of the language. With immense discipline we must fight against that... FOR the full integrity of words.... for the benefit of the undecideds sitting on the sidelines.

nd. We must never ever ever seek to offend, slender, taunt, belittle, or dehumanize. However, even more importantly, when the behavior of another is unspeakably offensive, horrible, barbaric, savage, cruel, equivalent of historical evils like Nazism, we must not shrink from speaking the truth, we must not allow ourselves to be disarmed of speaking the truth by those who wish to continue perpetrating evil without being identified as doing so. And all too often we allow this to occur. We owe it to the perpetrators and to the victims to stop being so timid and so easily disarmed of speaking the truth in such a way that conveys to others how deeply horrible the evil is and how immensely pergent it is to stop it .

New York times: Paul Krugman: President Obama among America's most consequential presidents. Freaking United States, do-nothing liberals, with or without Vaseline take this and shove it where the Sun does not shine. President Obama is a consequential president despite you, despite you, despite you, despite you. Just imagine what would have been accomplished if you were real, consequential, responsible, caring, loving human beings. We will never know. He was our last chance and you blew it.
pic. Facebook As you can see this free Palestine visual is exactly in front of the White House. None of the thousands and thousands of people that come here throughout the day can come to the park and not see this poster. Most Muslims are too afraid to come and speak to me. Most of the Zionists that come are too afraid to come and speak to me. Those Zionists that do are filled with lies and hatred. Those Muslims that do are filled with kindness, gentleness, amazement, and gratitude.
