I have declared the same ban of all things Israel excepting scorn and revulsion at my place.

Have you banned all things Syrian, too, for its much larger slaughter of Muslims (because it must be the Muslims you care about)? Or is it just Jews killing Muslims that gets on your tits?

Plus, a lot of the stuff you are still probably using wouldn't exist were it not for Israel. Your mobile phone and all its key components, for instance, was invented in Israel. I suggest you stop using that, too.

Anti-Semitism in Britain makes me feel ashamed

Ed West, author of The Diversity Illusion
The Spectator


I am ashamed that anti-Semitism is sweeping Britain and Europe.(CARL DE SOUZA/AFP/Getty Images)

As silly seasons go, this August has been pretty rubbish, I have to say. Iraq heads the list of gloomy subjects, obviously, as 100,000 Christians and many more Yazidis flee from the genocidal maniacs of the Islamic State. And before anyone asks, yes I do support intervention there: this is not like other conflicts in the region, between two heavily-armed militias both hostile to the West, as in Syria; it is an unprovoked attacked by our enemies against defenceless civilians simply because of their religion, the very thing the post-1945 order was supposed to prevent.

Gaza is also deeply depressing; obviously it’s existential to the people of Israel and Palestine, but the events the conflict has triggered off in Britain and across Europe make my heart sink. The anti-Semitism on display makes me ashamed of my country — the physical attacks of Jews, the intimidating protests in Manchester, the politicians and campaigners who talk of making Scotland ‘Zionist-free’ or Bradford ‘Israeli-free’.

Why is anti-Semitism fashionable again? I was reading Michael Burleigh’s Moral Combat on holiday, and he summed up the psychological impact the Holocaust had on western consciences, compared to the still-evil-but-not-quite-so-evil crimes of Stalin. He wrote:
‘Nazi crimes against the Jews drew on an ancient mulch of Christian Judeaophobia that gives them psychological traction among western audiences, because its modern mutation of anti-Semitism is part of their more or less conscious heritage. Therefore the evocation of Nazi crimes rubs a collective scar in western societies.
Indeed, it’s not just Israel, as some would claim, but — perversely — Europe’s conscious decision to atone for its sins by embracing multiculturalism that is in part responsible for the recent wave of anti-Semitism.

In my depressing book on immigration I tried to make the point that, so horrified are we by what European racism did that we’ve ended up fighting the last war. By trying to obliterate racism with a blaze of diversity, we imported and then incubated a new form of anti-Semitism.

My publisher made me take out a chapter which, he thought, rather suggested I didn’t think Islam was entirely compatible with secular democracy, gay rights or female emancipation. I don’t know what gave him that impression. In it I wrote:
‘In Britain over 40 per cent of anti-Semitic attacks are carried out by men of Middle Eastern or Asian appearance, and some 37 per cent of Muslims believe Jews in Britain are a legitimate target in the fight against Israel. Only half agree with Israel’s right to exist. And European mainstream opinion has absorbed some of its Muslim minority’s viewpoints, with intellectuals becoming increasingly hostile to Israel in recent years. As the Islamic population of Europe increases it seems unlikely that Jewish communities in Western Europe will feel any safer. It is ironic that Europe’s revulsion to racism was shaped by the Final Solution, and as a result it imported millions of people from the most anti-Semitic societies on earth. Now “anti-racism” is making life increasingly hard for European Jews, with the harassment of Jewish societies at universities, attacks on Jewish schools and the popularisation of “Zionist” as a thinly-veiled term of abuse.
I know that I’m a miserable sort of person, but the last month hasn’t exactly disabused me of this gloomy outlook. Add to that the decision by Baroness Warsi to resign over the most tribal of issues (not, for example, Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Pakistan — other countries we arm or aide, and which are also responsible for questionable activity) and the future of religious harmony in Britain does not look promising. Who knows? There are plenty of reforming British Muslims out there — if Maajid Nawaz is elected next year it would be a game changer — but both politicians and the media have far more incentive to listen to the more sectarian-minded voices, who can deliver votes, stories or outrage.



(The Diversity Illusion, incidentally, is available on Kindle for 99p at the moment, or £4,200 in paperback, a bargain at either price; although a second edition is coming out next month, apparently, which should cost rather less than that.)

I share the concern as well. We have seen the slaughter of a British soldier on the streets of London. Sadly I believe we shall soon see the slaughter of a Jew on our streets and absolutely nothing will be done about the enemy within until a Member of Parliament or Establishment figure is slaughtered.

Weak politicians both local and national have allowed the growth of Islam into this Country and we shall all rue the day.

I am never ashamed of being British, but I am often given cause to feel ashamed of my countrymen.

Ordinaryman to Martin Adamson 31 minutes ago

It's to do with the white, middle-class, masochistic guilt trip they obtained during their left-wing education, particularly, in my experience, at university. In simple words; it makes them feel good, sub-conciously, to feel guilty about being a member of a western, democratic, wealthy society.

Why is anti semitism fashionable again?

I don't know? Maybe it's to do with the Zionist murder of hundreds upon hundreds of innocent children?
*********************************************


JB_1966 to MountainousIpswich 43 minutes ago

That will explain the hatred of Muslims then, will it, with their slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent children over the past decade? Glad to clear that up.

RichardBaranov to MountainousIpswich an hour ago

Yes, and you are the sort of disgusting cretin who would say absolutely nothing if those innocent children were Jewish.

Hamas murdered those children, not Israel.

Galloway: Bradford is an Israel Free Zone - YouTube

Just another ignorant Anti-Semite..

The Mossad really needs to get busy and taking out the trash..


Galloway is a prick, one of the scummiest, filthiest, dirtiest left-wingers around.

He's the Respect Party MP for Bradford West and the party's leader. "Respect" is an acronym for Respect, Equality, Socialism, Peace, Environmentalism, Community and Trade Unionism but, really, it's just a party to stand up for Muslims and to hell with anyone else. Galloway only became the Respect MP for Bradford West due to its high Islamic community. No Respect candidate, and certainly not Galloway, would get elected in any area with a low Muslim population. According to gay rights activist Peter Tatchell, Respect want "the banning of all gay organisations" and "the execution of all homosexuals".


DISrespectful: Respect Party's former leader Salma Yaqoob

Birmingham Respect councillors Salma Yaqoob (the party's former leader) and Mohammed Ishtiaq stayed seated with their arms folded at a council meeting to honour L/Cpl Matt Croucher (former 40 Commando, now Royal Marines Reserve Merseyside) the George Cross for bravery. L/Cpl Croucher was awarded the medal for throwing himself on top of a Taliban grenade in Helmand in 2008 to protect his colleagues, and was applauded by the entire council except for the two Respect councillors. This led to criticism from other councillors, including allegations that it was a disrespectful act.

It’s OK to mention anti-Semitic attacks – but not who commits them

Just pretend for a moment that of, say, 200 anti-Semitic attacks in the UK, a study discovered that 198 of them had been committed by Methodists…

Rod Liddle
16 August 2014
The Spectator



I will bet every penny I have and more besides that virtually all of the anti-Semitic attacks in this country — and in France and Germany and Belgium — have been perpetrated by Muslims. And because they have been perpetrated by Muslims, that fact will simply not be reported, even when it is plainly obvious that the attackers were Muslim.

I was attacked by a swan the other day, as I walked along the bank of the River Stour in Kent. The creature climbed out of the water and lunged towards me, wings puffed up, making this guttural and hate-filled coughing noise. I kicked out at its stupid neck and told it to **** off and the bird backed away towards the river, still making that demented hissing, like a badly maintained boiler.

At first I was mystified as to how I had gained its enmity. I wasn’t near its mate and still further distant from its sallow and bedraggled idiot children. Nor had I advanced towards it, or even given it a threatening glare. And then the horrible realisation dawned on me. The swan had attacked me because it believed — mistakenly — that I was Jewish. There was no other possible explanation. And as I stood, a little shaken, on that riverbank, it occurred too that all of these mysterious anti-Semitic attacks which we’ve been hearing about recently, the attacks in which the perpetrators remain a complete and utter mystery, are almost certainly the work of swans. Why had I not realised this before?

The previous day I had read a very long piece in the Guardian by Owen Jones precisely about anti-Semitism. In the course of more than 1,000 words Owen kindly cautioned us against having anti-Jewish feelings and pointed out that anti-Semitic attacks were on the rise throughout Europe and that this was a bad thing, on the whole. But nowhere did he say who was responsible for this nastiness and I was left with the impression that it could be any of us, just any of us, walking down the street one day and we’re suddenly possessed of the insuperable desire to torch a synagogue or knife a rabbi.

Puzzlingly, Owen did dwell for a paragraph or two on the anti-Semitic roots of some of Europe’s far-right parties. So there was a sort of implication that perhaps those sorts of people had been responsible, although no direct allegation. I have heard and seen much the same thing on the BBC and Channel 4 News; reports of horrible attacks upon synagogues and Jewish businesses in Europe. A huge spike in anti-Semitic attacks in this country, too — more than 200 in the last month; more in the last four weeks than the previous six months put together. But no mention, not even a hint, as to who might be responsible. A complete mystery, isn’t it? We are left to try to fathom our own explanation — and it is very difficult, isn’t it? I think the giveaway, though, is some of the graffiti which accompanies these attacks: Allahu Akbar! Jihad! Stuff like that. It’s obvious — unusually literate, fundamentalist swans.

Here’s the thing. I will bet every penny I have and more besides that virtually all of the anti-Semitic attacks in this country — and in France and Germany and Belgium — have been perpetrated by Muslims. And because they have been perpetrated by Muslims, that fact will simply not be reported, even when it is plainly obvious that the attackers were Muslim.

This is a peculiar state of affairs, to my mind. Imagine if it wasn’t Muslims or swans. Just pretend for a moment that of, say, 200 anti-Semitic attacks in the UK, a study discovered that 198 of them had been committed by Methodists. That the one thing which 99 per cent of violent UK anti-Semites had in common was membership of the Methodist church. Do you think that such a fact would not be mentioned in news reports of such incidents, or in comment pieces by juveniles warning us how horrible anti-Semitism really is? I think the journos would be falling over themselves to nail the Methodists, and to delve and investigate the roots of this sectarian hatred. I think this fact would be considered salient and significant, germane to the issue at hand. But not with Muslims. Instead, Owen and the rest will first try to disguise the fact that it is Muslims making these attacks and then secondly, when it becomes patently obvious that it is Muslims, will try to insist that this fact is irrelevant and perhaps simply an unfortunate coincidence. And that anyway, because not all Muslims are anti-Semites, the fact is not worth reporting.

But of course it would not be considered irrelevant and a coincidence if it were any other minority group on earth, would it? And of course it isn’t irrelevant, or a coincidence; there is a strain of anti-Semitism running through Islam, and a mistrust or even loathing of Jews is firmly rooted within both our Muslim communities and in Muslim countries from Turkey to the Indonesian archipelago. This does not mean for a moment that all Muslims are anti-Semites, and nor of course should that conclusion be drawn. But Islamic anti-Semitism is surely a fact — and recognised as such by plenty of the more, um, enlightened Muslim writers, such as Mehdi Hasan.

Here’s what he had to say on the issue: ‘It pains me to have to admit this but anti-Semitism isn’t just tolerated in some sections of the British Muslim community; it’s routine and commonplace. Any Muslims reading this article — if they are honest with themselves — will know instantly what I am referring to. It’s our dirty little secret. You could call it the banality of Muslim anti-Semitism.’

Remember, it is only three or four years ago that our most moderate and amenable Muslim organisation, the Muslim Council of Britain, refused to take part in Holocaust Day, so great was its animus toward Britain’s Jewish community.

To refuse to tell the truth when you know what the truth is constitutes bad journalistic practice, to my mind. But it is also deluding and utterly gutless.

George Galloway (one of those Scottish MPs who are unpopular in England), the leader of the far-left Respect Party and the MP for Bradford West, is being questioned by West Yorkshire Police about a speech he made in Leeds on 2nd August in which he declared Bradford an "Israel-free zone."

George Galloway MP questioned by police over Israel speech


19 August 2014
BBC News



George Galloway's spokesman said the MP had co-operated with police


George Galloway has been interviewed under caution by police over a speech in which he said Bradford had been "declared an Israel-free zone", the BBC understands.

Ch Supt Paul Money of West Yorkshire Police said a man of 59 was interviewed voluntarily following complaints about the speech made on 2 August.

Mr Galloway, MP for Bradford West, made the comments at a meeting in Leeds.

The Respect MP's spokesman said Mr Galloway had co-operated with police.

The force said the matter would be referred to the Crown Prosecution Service when enquiries were completed.

Mr Galloway was questioned at Elland Road station in Leeds, police said.

Officers previously said complaints had been made about the speech urging people to reject all Israeli goods, services, academics and even tourists.

Mr Galloway's comments, made at a meeting of Respect activists, were posted on YouTube.



The Respect MP told the meeting: "We have declared Bradford an Israel-free zone.

"We don't want any Israeli goods; we don't want any Israeli services; we don't want any Israeli academics coming to the university or the college.

"We don't even want any Israeli tourists to come to Bradford even if any of them had thought of doing so.

"We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel - and you have to do the same."

A spokesman for the MP previously said the remarks were an extension of a boycott and direct action movement against supermarkets and companies supporting Israel.

Mr Galloway, who took the Bradford West seat from Labour following a by-election in 2012, is a staunch campaigner and supporter of the Palestinian side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

He co-founded the anti-war Respect Party in 2004 after being expelled by Labour because of comments he made as part of his opposition to the Iraq war.

So let\s leave the slaughter of Muslims by Asssad aside for the moment and concentrate on your allegation about the Israeli slaughter of Muslims. Yes I agree with you there exists a sound case to prosecute Israel at the ICC for war crimes. Gets on my tits????? Israel invented the telephone?????????? Is your granny helping you with the
puter again dear?

Can they nail Galloway Bradford on supporting a terrorist organization in the UK?? Toss him out of Parliament or into a small 4X4 jail cell?

Maybe they can, what's more important is if they can, then you may be nailed similarly in this too tolerant country.

You cannot prosecute a country for defending itself.

What would Canada do if America starting lobbing missiles at Canada? Would you all go into lefty-liberal handwringing mode and say that you cannot possible fire missiles back in retaliation in case civilians get killed? Or would you do the right thing and fire missiles back?

Gets on my tits????? Israel invented the telephone?????????? Is your granny helping you with the
puter again dear?

Most of the electronic components in your mobile phone are Israeli innovations. If you want to boycott Israel properly then I suggest getting rid of your mobile phone, as it's an Israeli invention.

In fact, these are all the things you'll have to stop using if you were to properly boycott Israel:



By Methodist Friends of Israel on August 9th, 2010
So you want to boycott Israel…?

So you want to boycott Israel?

As I said in my recent editorial, we are increasingly hearing calls to boycott Israel. I have no problem with any person exercising his, or her, right to boycott anyone they wish. I only ask that, if they do so, they do it honestly and don’t simply boycott what will not inconvenience them.

Following are some areas in which Israel is leading the way. The lists are by no means fully comprehensive but aim to show just what a boycott should mean in the realms of science, technology, computers, medicine, the environment and accepting aid in disasters. I have not mentioned the role played in music, entertainment, art etc. To boycott Israel means not using mobile phones, computers, many medicines and medical procedures to mention but a few.

The facts are taken from the following: Beyond Images; Israel21c; The Israel Project; Eye 2 Israel



High Technology

  • The first cell phone in the world was developed in Haifa, Israel.
  • Israel developed the first camera chip used in cell phones.
  • Israeli companies invented the SMS and voice mail systems.
  • Israel holds the most High-Tech industries per population.
  • Invention of Safety Centre, a device to assess driving habits and improve them. Helps cut accidents.
  • Iron Dome – a mobile system that detects incoming short range missiles and assesses where they will land. If the target site is unpopulated no counter attack is mounted, if it will hit a populated area then small, guided missiles are fired to destroy the incoming missile mid air
  • The Arrow missile “Interceptor” is another Israeli project. This is a first of its kind – the only one that can intercept a ballistic missile. The arrow manoeuvres and destroys the attacker missile.
  • The IDF’s creative thinking has produced the Air Mule, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which helps with medical rescue and evacuation.
  • Urban Aeronautics has developed propellers which are installed inside the aircraft instead of outside. This enables the aircraft to carry out different operations in narrow places that are inaccessible to conventional planes and helicopters.
  • Invention of largest unmanned aircraft named Eitan. Can fly up to 45,000 feet carrying high-tech cameras and sensors which will give more precise information of ground activity during conflicts or in general monitoring of nations eg Iran
  • Israeli invention of “Earthquake Alert”, a home device to give early warning of earthquakes. Analyzes movement and determines if it is because of an earthquake or some other cause
  • Xaver 400 /800. These devices give 2D (400) or 3D (800) images below rubble. Used in searching for people following earthquakes who otherwise might not be found, or in hostage situations where the police need to see what is happening within buildings
  • Israeli company Satec, a world leader in electrical power products, has developed a system called ExpertPower for monitoring and preventing power breakdowns and blackouts. The system monitors energy distribution and use, and provides real-time reports via the Internet to assist in avoiding power system overloading.
Science


  • Israelis hold more patents per person than citizens of any other nation.
  • Israel is one out of 8 countries that are capable of launching their own satellites into space.
  • Israel has more scientists and engineers per capita than any other country.
  • Israeli scientists publish more scientific papers than any other nation.
  • A computer chip – made of living organisms and DNA. And it can also produce 330 trillion (330,000,000,000,000) actions in a second!
  • Cherry Tomatoes were developed in Israel 15 years ago by a few research groups.
  • The Galanit is a new flower that grows in blue and white – the colors of the Israeli flag. The flower had been developed in Israel by the Ministry of Agriculture during the last eight years!
  • Epilady (or epilator) – this hair removal device was invented by two Israelis from a Kibbutz who wanted to make their wives’ lives easier and came up with an idea for electronic tweezers. It might not be life saving, but for millions of girls all over the world it’s definitely an essential device!!
  • An Israeli company has developed a revolutionary new drug that could solve the problem of Colony Collapse Disorder, the disturbing syndrome that has been wiping out bee communities and threatening agricultural production all over the world.
Computers

  • Most of the components of the Windows XP operating system were developed in Israel.
  • An Israeli company invented the technology behind ICQ instant messaging.
  • An Israeli company invented the network security technology, such as the firewall.
  • The first PC anti-virus was invented in Israel.
  • A virtual keyboard – a laser projector with a sensor that radiates a hologram of letters on any straight surface, and the sensor senses your fingers moving and translates it into real typing.
  • The algorithm (code) that’s used today for sending e-mails, was made by an Israeli who worked at the Ben-Gurion University in Be’er-Sheva in 1980
  • DiskOnKey (or USB flash drive) was developed by Dov Mor, the CEO of MSystems.
  • One of the more recent developments is sending medical images (like ultrasound exams) through the cellular phone. This invention was made by Professor Boris Rubinsky and his team at Hebrew University and the University of California, Berkeley.
  • Modu (an Israeli invention) is the smallest and the smartest mobile phone on earth because it is not only a mobile phone – it can be also a games console, a palm computer, a laptop and many other things.
  • Using the internet and a PC has depended in the past on being able to manipulate a mouse by hand to navigate the screen. Israeli company Commodio has now developed the world’s first Voice Mouse – the screen responds to commands from the human voice. Using the voicemouse (called QPointer Handsfree ), the user can write and send email, use the Internet, and create and edit documents, without using his or her hands. The product is expected to be of particular value to those who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, paralysis or other physical disabilities. Microsoft has chosen Commodio as its business partner for voice operations
  • Scientists at Israel ‘s Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot have created the world’s smallest computing device. The device uses so-called DNA (or biological) computing instead of silicon microchips, and marks a breakthrough in biological computing methods. The device operates at a computing speed equivalent to 15 trillion computers, and is more than one million times more energy-efficient than a PC. In the future, DNA computing is set to move from the realm of near-science-fiction, to transform pharmaceutical research
  • In March 2003 Intel, the world’s leading chip manufacturer, unveiled its new microchip, the Centrino, in a worldwide marketing campaign. The Centrino’s key advantage is its low electricity consumption, making it highly suitable for laptop PCs, notebooks, the new generation of mobile phones, and other mobile devices. The Centrino was developed at Intel’s Israeli R&D facility in Haifa , Northern Israel . Intel’s Haifa centre is working with a second Intel Israel facility, in Petach Tikva, on the next generation of processors for cellular networks
  • Attacks by hackers on websites is one of the most serious challenges facing companies and non-profit organisations on the internet. In 2002, US company Sanctum was recognised by industry consultants as the “de facto” leader in meeting this challenge. Sanctum markets products which enhance website “firewalls” by adding a further layer of security against attack. Sanctum’s two products AppScan and AppShield were developed in Sanctum’s research centre in Herzliya in central Israel.
Medicine

  • Israelis invented the camera that patients swallow to help doctors diagnose digestive tract diseases and save lives.
  • Babysense, the system that protect babies from the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) was invented in Israel.
  • Israeli scientists developed the first radiation free method to discover breast cancer.
  • The first Anti Virus was created in Israel in 1988 by 3 computer experts at the Hebrew University. This anti-virus was the basis for many other anti viruses that came later.
  • The first blood bank was built at Beilinson hospital 10 years before the state was established.
  • In 1997 the first artificial heart transplant was made at the Sheba hospital. It was made to function as the left ventricle
  • In 1999 Israel used the first brain pacemaker, which stopped the tremor that comes with Parkinson’s disease.
  • In 2010 a kidney transplant was made from a person with one blood type to another with a different blood type, a transplant which, until now, was very dangerous because the kidney works with blood.
  • Israeli scientists created new ways to fight cancer and increased the efficiency of medicines.
  • One of the greatest achievements of 2006: the research made by Israeli scientist Shulamit Levenberg got us one step closer to creating new organs for transplant.
  • Israeli scientists also developed the first DNA computers, leading the way to even more efficient ways to fight diseases.
  • Israel has been responsible for huge breakthroughs in treatment of AIDS:
    • Developing Hypericin, a drug whose antiviral properties were documented at the Weizmann Institute. Vimrxyn, a hypericin-based drug is now being tested for the treatment of AIDS.
    • Making progress on a new type of artificial blood that could potentially help slow the spread of the AIDS virus.
    • An Israeli-American firm, Pharmos/Pharmatec, developing an improved method for delivering AZT to the brain.
    • Hebrew University researchers developing what they believe is a means to help AIDS patients overcome serious infections and neurological problems.
  • Israeli scientists have developed new devices for measuring and injecting Insulin for diabetics, which are both less painful and more efficient.
  • Israel’s head of neurology at Rabin Medical Centre has developed a means of treating Parkinson’s disease using the person’s own bone marrow stem cells
  • Researchers at Ben Gurion University are working on a new delivery system for drugs used in cancer and Parkinson’s disease. The drugs are delivered directly to the affected part of the body and, in so doing, eliminates unwanted side effects
  • A program that can help a deaf man use a cell phone! This program, “Lipcell” can translate the words from the other speaker into a three dimensional exhibition of a human face. In this way the deaf man can read the lips of the other speaker. It is a collaboration of Israel’s largest phone company, Cellcom, and a company called SpeechView.
  • A computerized model has been developed that allows living cells to be scanned to see how they respond to friction, pressure etc. This will eliminate, or certainly lessen, the need to use animals in this area of medical research
  • The medical company Deep Breeze has developed a device for instantly diagnosing the state of a patient’s lungs enabling the immediate diagnosis of asthma
  • The Copaxone (also known as Glatiramer acetate), one of the most efficient medicines, and the only non interferon agent, for Multiple Sclerosis, was developed by Israeli Teva Pharmaceuticals
  • Discovery of Bti- an environmentally-friendly bacteria which eradicates mosquitoes and black flies, and reduces the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases, notably malaria. Since Bti was introduced along the Yangtze river in China , malarial infections from mosquitoes have dropped by 90%. Professor Margalith is currently involved in projects in the Central Asian Republics. Bti has also been used to control river blindness in eleven African countries, reportedly saving the sight of millions.
  • Drug Velcade developed over a period of 30 years by scientists at Haifa. Has significant results in treatment of Myeloma
    Imaging device for carrying out radiation free xrays on patients with spinal deformities developed in Israel
    First vaccine against West Nile virus developed by Israelis
  • Researchers in southern Israel developed new vaccines to combat germs eg pneumococcus, that are prevalent in children and easily spread in day care centres.
  • Israeli researchers believe that a biological ‘switch’ found in plants may hold the secret for a new cancer treatment for humans. Scientists believe a process in plants to switch on cell growth, could be used in humans to switch off tumour growth.
Environmental protection

  • More than 85% of the solid waste in Israel is treated with environmental sound manner.
  • Israel has the record for most solar-powered water heaters per capita- 95% of homes have this technology
    Solar powered street and garden lamps are a very common thing in Israel. The solar plate recharges throughout the day and at night it illuminates cities and parks.
  • After long research at the Weitzmann Institute of science, in Rehovot, a”Sun Tower” was built – a field of 64 mirrors that can sense the sunshine and adjust themselves so they receive maximum sunlight. The mirrors centre the light to a receptor on top of a tower which then heats compressed air that moves a turbine, which produces electricity. It can go up to 1200 degrees and withstand the pressure of 25 atmospheres.
  • The Negev already accommodates an experimental settlement – Neve-Zin in the Zin Valley. All the buildings and infrastructures in it depend on solar energy all year long.
  • An Israeli company was the first to develop and install a large scale solar power plant in the Mojave Desert in order to supply enough clean electricity to power 400,000 homes in central and northern California
    Israel has the most biotech startups per capita.
  • Drip irrigation system- invented by an Israeli almost 40 years ago. A major part of resolving the water crisis. Used around the world
  • Motorola’s R&D facility in Israel has developed another in its line of products which apply state-of-the-art IT and communications technology to urban and rural water conservation. The product – Radio Piccolo XR – communicates remotely with a central irrigation control system and can be used to regulate water use in rural areas, but also in city parks, and municipal water supply systems
  • Engineers have developed a revolutionary range of greenhouse nets that use the light spectrum in shades of blue, red, pearl and grey to regulate the growth of plants inside greenhouses. The so-called Chromatinets are being marketed by Israeli kibbutz-based company Polysack. Grey nets induce additional branches and increase yields; blue nets induce short branches which assist packing and export; and red and pearl nets accelerate overall plant growth. All the chromatinets are environmentally-friendly. Another Israeli company, Klayman Meteor, has developed a new type of net that increases effectiveness against insects and viruses, and thereby increases plant yields.
  • A team of scientists at The Technion in Haifa has achieved a breakthrough in the design of fuel cells for cars. The team has improved the method of producing hydrogen for fuel cells using so-called solar water splitting systems. Fuel-cells are widely seen as the key to making environmentally friendly “clean” cars commercially available in the future, and reducingthe world’s dependence on highly-polluting oil
  • Israeli company Dry-Kor, based in Atlit in Northern Israel , has developed a new air conditioning technology which lessens the chance of chemical contamination of the air, by not only cooling the air, but removing the bacteria in the air. “We are practically washing the air” said the company’s founder. The technique could have particular benefits for hospital operating rooms, laboratory clean rooms, and for food manufacturers and drugs companies where it is essential that air is kept clean and bacteria-free
Israel’s Disaster Aid


Israeli teams have often been among the first on the scene after natural disasters across the world.
  • February 2001 Israel sent an fully-equipped field hospital, staffed by doctors and nurses, to assist in treating victims of an earthquake in Gujarat, Western India . In the first two days of its operations, over 200 people were treated in the field hospital.
  • 1998 Israel sent emergency medical aid teams and equipment to help victims of Hurricane Mitch which struck Central America . The Israelis included experts in infectious diseases, epidemiology, intensive care treatment and treatment of traumatic aftermath of mass disasters.
  • 1999 Israel sent large supplies of medicine and food, and special consignments of enriched milk for babies, to help victims of an earthquake in Colombia.
  • 2001, Israeli assisted Georgia (formerly a part of the Soviet Union ) in the aftermath of a severe drought. The Israeli Foreign Ministry contributed baby food, and, in conjunction with Israel ‘s Ministry of Agriculture, donated large stocks of quality seeds to enable Georgian farmers to recover from the aftermath of the drought.
Other disasters where Israel has made a significant contribution to relief efforts include earthquakes in Turkey (2000) and El Salvador (2001), and floods in Venezuela (1999) and in Mozambique (2000).
  • 26 December 2004, a massive undersea earthquake occurred in the Eastern Indian Ocean, off the Indonesian coast. The quake triggered giant waves (‘tsunamis’) which struck coastal areas in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India and other countries, as well as Indian Ocean islands, with devastating force. Israel immediately sent the following aid:
    • Massive airlift of emergency supplies within 48 hours: Israel’s Defence Ministry sent a plane to Sri Lanka loaded with 80 tons of emergency supplies, together with a team of 50 Israeli medical and rescue personnel, within 48 hours of the disaster.
    • The supplies included tens of thousands of bottles of drinking water, 12 tons of food, 17 tons of baby food, nine tons of medicines, blankets, mattresses, beds and electricity generators.
  • A top level medical team from Israel’s internationally renowned Hadassah hospital arrived in Sri Lanka on 27 December, including the hospital’s head of general surgery, the head of its trauma unit, its chief of paediatrics, and two anaesthetists
    Israeli voluntary organisation Latet despatches supplies: On 28 December, the Israeli voluntary organisation Latet (“to give”) filled a jumbo jet with 18 tons of supplies contributed by the public. An Israeli company donated 250,000 water purification tablets, to help provide tsunami survivors with safe drinking water.
  • Magen David Adom sends medicines for treating the seriously injured: On 29 December, Israel’s equivalent to the Red Cross, Magen David Adom, donated a planeload of medicines to Sri Lanka for the treatment of seriously injured tsunami victims, and those suffering malnourishment
  • An Israeli Health Ministry team of doctors and nurses was sent to Thailand to aid rescue efforts
  • Israel offered a search-and-rescue team to India, together with consignments of food and medicine.
  • International fund-raising efforts: Several Israeli and diaspora Jewish organisations launched emergency appeals for funds to aid longer term relief and reconstruction

Can they nail Galloway Bradford on supporting a terrorist organization in the UK?? Toss him out of Parliament or into a small 4X4 jail cell?


Galloway - that upstanding member of the tolerant, non-racist Left - should be thrown in the nick for making a hate speech and inciting racial hatred.

You cannot prosecute a country for defending itself.



In fact, these are all the things you'll have to stop using if you were to properly boycott Israel:
Only Israel and racists would call killing people who are in a locked compound as 'defending themselves'.

Every item on the list replaced by goods made by Gentiles that are better, cheaper, longer lasting and in a very short period of time. Let the Jews who live outside of their country take some time and go home and the world would actually breath a sigh of relief.
Medicine+very expensive junk science with bull**** devices like chemo when a healthy diet stops you from getting sick in the first place. Fuk it, this is their way of running the Gentile world and they strive at it 24/7. If not at the leading edge they certainly do nothing to prevent it and with them always defending the Bankster I'm thinking as deliberate as possible and with much glee while doing it. Perhaps the population that is 0.000111% of the population should opt for having that much control.

The Secret Covenant - A Member of the Illuminati Tells All?

"An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception.
Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur.

"We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.

"We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.
The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information.
The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons.

"They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things.
When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals that will kill their mind and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other diseases for which we will create yet more medicine. We will render them docile and weak before us by our power. They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison.

"We will focus their attention toward money and material goods so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may never be one with the oneness of it all. Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives.
We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and establish opposites within. We will own both sides. We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan. They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil.

"Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure always, for it is the way. We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves.
We will foment animosity between them through our factions. When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule, or death, whichever suits us best. We will make them rip each other’s hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend. The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their conflicts we emerge as their rulers.
They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long as we see fit.

"We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths. We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is accomplished. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger though images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this. The tools will be provided by their labor. We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors.

"We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one. This they must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always think they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal. We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total control over them. We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they will have. We will establish a money system that will imprison them forever, keeping them and their children in debt.

"When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world for we shall own all the media. We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment in our favor. When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for they are less than that. They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons.

"We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them eternal life, but eternal life they will never have for they are not of us. The recruits will be called “initiatesand will be indoctrinated to believe false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of these groups will think they are one with us never knowing the truth.
They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us. For their work they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles, but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive the light and travel the stars. They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know.
The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus on it until its too late. Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they are our slaves.

"When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them. This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-delusion. When our goal is accomplished a new era of domination will begin. Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established from time immemorial.

"But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW. If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action. They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down and no person shall give us shelter.

"This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present and future lives, for this reality will transcend many generations and life spans. This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from heaven to earth came."
"This covenant must NEVER, EVER be known to exist.
It must NEVER, EVER be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself."

I'm pretty sure people will be hating Boomer and you and a bunch of others for celebrating the murder of babies rather than from some speech most of the world never even heard. The comments you two make are very telling in your racial hatred, Galloway in prison for life for making a speech, that crime is considerably less murdering almost 500 children, except in your books and that of the most moral nation on earth, Israel. Just taking Hollywierd and the Media from them would stop this kind of bull****.

He made a race hate speech and should be prosecuted and sent to jail. He broke the law. The Left mustn't be allowed to break the law of the land at will and get away with it.

Just imagine the uproar on this forum from you, Tecumsehbones and the rest of your mob had Ukip leader Nigel Farage made a speech saying that he wants the whole of the South East of England - for which he is the MEP - to be a "Muslim-free zone" or a "gay free zone". The guy would be hauled over the coals. You'd spend hours telling us how "racist" he is, a "Little Englander", and that he should be locked up in a prison full of Muslims with the key thrown away.

But yet when it's the leader of the far-left Respect Party doing it, it's excused. The Left have no shame. It's one rule for them....

How about you go get the Brit that is chopping off heads first as he would seem to be the most dangerous at the moment. So hate speech is anything against Israel even though they are targeting babies it is the person speaking out against that who is a danger to society? Your Nation breaks the law every minute with full impunity. Go ahead though, make a martyr out of him and see how many more people join his side and that has a number that could turn into an avalanche of support.

That is something not related in any way whatsoever to Galloway's hate speech.

I'll say again: Galloway made a hate speech and broke the law in the process. He is rightly being questioned by West Yorkshire Police. Had Galloway been a Ukip politician rather than a "Respect" (LOL!) politician and said that he wants Bradford to be "Muslim-free" or "gay-free" the Left would have been on him like a pack of rabid wolves and torn him asunder. He would have been a "racist" and a "Little Englander".

But because it's the leader of a Far-Left party making a race hate speech the Left - hypocritical as always - try to insist that he did nothing wrong. As usual, the Left only wants the law to apply to everyone else except them.

At least you know your countrymen and how civilized they actually are, that is why a speech is a bigger threat that killing 500 children (for a start)

It was a hate speech and he has to be severely punished in due accordance with the law.

Had it been Nigel Farage or Nick Griffin saying they want Bradford to be "Muslim-free" or "gay-free" you would have been on him like a ton of bricks, calling for him to be locked up and the key thrown away.

Yet you think because Galloway is a left-winger, that means he should have free reign to break the law at will, and should be allowed to make hate speeches and to incite racial hatred.

It's one rule for the Left and another for everybody else, it seems.
