What is going on with the Electronic Intifada Site??
Anybody who follows the plight of the Palestinians and supports them in that struggle will know a couple of websites that can be tapped daily for updates on the continuous damage to their social circumstances and on the political climate change that subtley effects their future. A very important site is The Electronic Intifada.
http://electronicintifada.net/new.shtml
Today, I got a fright when I checked the submissions on that site and I read this, by Roni Ben Efrat :
http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article5970.shtml
He starts with this strange phrase:
"America's entrapment in Iraq creates a vacuum through the Middle East."
Entrapment ???? To be Entrapped one has to be unaware of a crime being committed! One has to be unwittingly lured in by a knowing party. WMD? Faked Reports? Colin Powells speech, Etc...Enough said ?
I thought, this can't be an opening to an informative article on the Occupation of Palestine....I wondered, But I read on.
Efrat Immediatley tells us that America is Paralysed, Efrat persists and repeats it. He insists America has no options.
Doesn't an unexpected paralysis usually come as a result of an accident, or worse, a hostile attack against the injured party? Who's Paralysed, Iraq? No. Efrat insists, the USA!
I scratch my head. Is this the Palestinian position properly presented , or is this someone spinning a yarn of dual sadness, dual victimhood? Emoting sympathy from the Audience? If this is the case then be assured it is utterly uncharacteristic of Electronic Itifada. Something is wrong today with the EI Editors .....but I read on.
So, Efrat declares:
"Consider Gaza, on the brink of armed chaos. Or the Lebanon War. No one planned it, no one wanted it."
What? Not planned ? Do you live in a cave or do I ? Im sorry, lets just google that absurd notion. http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Leban...meta=
Efrat suggests, the horriffic siege of Gaza, where indiscriminate murder is an unplanned international disgrace is an accident? Well, Mr Efrat, No, wrong forum . This is the Electronic Intifada, this is not Israeli Hasbara kindergarden gone for an innocent walk and got lost on The EI.
Note to EI Editor: WAKE UP!
Efrat muses about the disgruntled Palestinian masses starving to death in localised, town sieges and he wonders.. How, Why, Who? He unexpectedly, but philosophically, pauses in his musings to add in commas : "(For its part, Israel is illegally withholding tax money and customs duties that it has collected, under the terms of Oslo, for the PA.)"
Oh Brackets, I Do Say... How inconsequential to the economic siege : Israel is withholding millions and millions, I do wonder about that siege.
Efrat recognises that the Palestinians are indeed hostages , but who's hostages are they? The outrageous and illegal Israeli Army? No Way! BUT... He does have a couple of suggestions.
Suggestion No. 1....."The Palestinian people is hostage to the West, which feels no obligation to support a government that refuses to oppose terrorism or recognize Israel."
Suggestion No.2 .... "But the Palestinian people is also hostage to the movement it chose." i.e The democratically elected government that was kidnapped by Israel and put in Jail.
Whos Hostage ??? Not Israel anyway...anyone else. You perhaps. But certainly Not him.
Please read this Article, and wonder, are the Palestinians losing it? When Roni Ben Efrat is posting this weird story on Electronic Intifada is it time to pull the Palestinian Fighter out of the ring.
Is there a Refereee ? Is the Palestinian coach rigging the fight now?
Electronic Intifada, What the hell are you doing today?
well after all the rhetoric and the clear bias of this website in particular toword israel i wonder why this is not given the same coverage
Israel did not use depleted uranium during conflict with Hizbollah, UN agency finds
What is going on with the Electronic Intifada Site??
Maybe for once, just once they are telling it how it actually is, i.e the truth, not some pallywood fairytale to appease and seduce the dumb lefties of the west
