Criticizing Israel to become illegal




Irish4Palestine

Today Israeli Zionists are tightening their grip even MORE on our freedom of speech. Israel will use this to take the cause to America next. Very serious stuff to report today, we are loosing our right to free speech against Israel. A Zionist "think tank" in England that has US ties is submitting a report to re-define the term "Anti-Semitism" and make those "new terms" illegal. Sit down, take a deep breath and get ready to be stunned. I came across this recent 38 page PDF publication which is being submitted to the British Government from the European Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism (EISCA) the Zionist think-tank which sets out to "monitor" Anti-Semitism in the "World." This will be used against the Government, the Media, Universities and hundreds of Pro-Palestinian organisations, not to mention blogs and any protests the public decide to hold against the Zionist state Military actions in Palestine.

This group has influential power within the British Government, indeed, one Rt Hon Denis MacShane, MP, is the Chairman of the group.

They have just delivered a "new" report In which they are "re-defining" Anti-Semitism to include just about anything one may say to criticize Israel. Such as Anti-Zionism; Holocaust denial and Holocaust related abuse; conspiracy theories; dual loyalty and the blood libel. More importantly, they take this one step further and are now including "Zionism" in this definition.

The report calls for the adoption of this new definition into law, which would then make it a "crime" to discuss or use any of the phrases, terms, arguments, theories or cases covered this new "definition." They want the UK to adopt the EUMC (now the European Agency for Fundamental Rights [FRA]) definition of "anti-Semitism" so as to outlaw the use of the word "Nazi" when referring to Israel, its government, and Zionists. But that is NOT all they are after, there are many more "demands" which are quite shocking indeed, such as any conspiracy theories about Israel and 9-11, Zionism, or the Israeli Lobby in American Politics control in Washington. Additionally they want your Children to be "re-educated when they attend University (Sounds like Nazi's to me!) They are also calling for media controls as well. Almost all criticism of Israel AND/OR Zionism will be "branded" as Anti-Semitism and illegal, so keep reading. This definition will target all aspects of discussion on the Israel/Palestine conflict, including media, universities, demonstrations, freedom of speech and much more. Here are excerpts of the new "Zionist Big Brother" PDF report:

Structure of the Report

The report of the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Antisemitism drew attention to five themes of antisemitic discourse: anti-Zionism; Holocaust denial and Holocaust related abuse; conspiracy theories; dual loyalty and the blood libel. This report combines them into one overarching theme- playing the Nazi card.

So as we can see, every single aspect of this new form of censorship will now come under one all encompassing heading of "Playing The Nazi Card" So they are effectively lumping hundreds of very real and accurate criticisms against the IDF, the State of Israel, the Gaza Genocide, the Israeli Government and any one critical of Zionism into one little sentence with the word "Nazi" in it. How clever!! Therefore you MUST remember when reading this below that each time they use the phrase "Using the Nazi Card" they are including ALL of this as well: Any criticisms against the IDF, the State of Israel, the Gaza Genocide, the Israeli Government and any one critical of Zionism That is the danger in what they are attempting here folks. With that in mind keep reading:

The Nazi Card

In the case of the United Kingdom, the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism recommended that the working definition be "adopted by the government and law enforcement agencies".

When the Nazi card is played against the Israeli State, its leaders, its military practices, or its founding ideology of Zionism, it is clearly antisemitic.

Four different variants of the problem are examined in the report:

- The Nazi card as abuse against Jews.

- The Nazi card as abuse against the collective memory of the Holocaust.

- The Nazi card in the casting of Jews as conspirators and collaborators with the Nazis.

- The Nazi card manifest in discourse about Israel and Zionism.

Each of these variants of the Nazi card has harmful consequences that constitute a significant common denominator and the  rationale for why this type of discourse needs to be addressed. (note that Zionism is now included in the Definition)

Gaza Protests

Placards carrying images of swastikas superimposed on the Star of David and the Israeli flag were commonplace in street-level protests about the recent Israeli military actions and the conflict in Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009. Allusions between Nazi genocidal practices and the activities of the Israeli state were also drawn in some of the speeches at protest meetings and press commentary on the conflict.

And this won't be allowed anymore

Richard Falk, the then incoming United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, published an article in 2007 titled 'Slouching toward a Palestinian Holocaust' whereby, for instance, Palestinian territories have been compared to the "Warsaw ghetto", Libya's deputy UN ambassador, Ibrahim Dabbashi, reportedly drew a comparison between conditions in Gaza and the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. This occasion was not the first time officials associated with the UN had drawn parallels between Israeli military actions and atrocities committed by the Nazis.

Understanding and addressing anti-Semitic discourse

The project's aims were to:

-Identify and illuminate the main component parts of antisemitic discourse.

-Include an examination of how criticism of Israel and Zionism can crossover into and become polluted by antisemitism through the expression or assumption of core antisemitic concepts.

The Consequences of anti-Semitic Discourse

This report attempts to shift the focus of analysis of contemporary antisemitism onto new ground: away from labelling and defining the problem to an understanding of the consequences of discourse against Jews, Israel and Zionism.

You cannot criticize Zionism

One of the most challenging components of antisemitic discourse in general, and the discursive theme of the Nazi card in particular, concerns the problem of when the Nazi card is played against Israel and its founding movement, Zionism.

Introduction: The Nazi card as anti-Semitic discourse

Playing the Nazi card refers to the use of Nazi or related terms or symbols (Nazism,

Hitler, swastikas, etc.) in reference to Jews, Israel, Zionism or aspects of the Jewish experience.

● It would be timely for the government to commission a rapid evidence assessment into the practical experience of using the criminal law against racist and antisemitic speech in countries where such provisions have been established.

● The Home Office, in consultation with the Association of Chief Police Officers and the Crown Prosecution Service, should prepare and issue guidance for police forces and crown prosecutors about the circumstances in which playing the Nazi card, and other forms of antisemitic discourse, amounts to unlawful incitement to racial hatred.

Colleges and universities are re-educating your children

UK universities and colleges should be encouraged to debate and utilise the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) working definition of antisemitism to inform their race equality and harassment policies.

● In seeking advice from scholars with experience in the matter, the government should commission and promote educational materials for university-level

lectures/seminars/workshops on Holocaust denial which examine how Holocaust denial in its explicit and more subtle manifestations constitutes antisemitic discourse.

● The European Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism should produce a model statement that refutes the Nazi card point-by-point so that it can aid and inform those who seek to challenge it. (Soon the Government will be paying for these to be handed out to every kid at University!)

No more talking about AIPAC,the Jewish-Zionist Lobby, it's influence, Jane Harman affair, Israeli spies, all will be considered "anti-Semitic" soon.

The Jewish/Zionist lobby in America

It has been suggested that in recent discourse regarding the alleged role of Zionists or an Israel lobby in Western societies, the language and terms of reference used to depict their alleged actions has sometimes been reminiscent of language and themes similar to those identified by Klug when discussing the traditional depiction of the conduct of the mythical Jew. Zionists and

The Zionist lobby have periodically been depicted as conspirators, controllers of the media, and of wielding undue power and influence over governments. It might therefore be suggested that such sentiment, when echoing traditional antisemitic conspiracy theories but ostensibly targeting Zionists is likewise not grounded in any real sense of 'what they are,' but has similarly come to reflect a discourse of hatred against Zionists as 'Zionists'.


And don't be talking about no Bernie Madoff anymore either

In addition to such conspiracies that allege Jewish and Israeli hands behind major international calamities have been references to longstanding antisemitic conspiracy theories alleging orchestrated Jewish control of world financial markets.

And they are going after the media

The media in Britain have also played a hand in reproducing antisemitic conspiracy theories – even inadvertently. Most famously, the cover of the 14January 2002 edition of the New Statesman used a large glistening golden Star of David piercing a prostate Union Jack and the words 'A kosher conspiracy?...Britain's pro-Israel lobby'.

The Press Complaints Commission should be encouraged to utilise the EUMC working definition of antisemitism to inform guidance in its Code of Practice

● The National Union of Journalists at national and branch level should be encouraged to debate and utilise the EUMC working definition of antisemitism to inform guidance about how particular discourse can lead to hatred or discrimination against Jews.

● The Press Complaints Commission should be encouraged to utilise the EUMC working definition of antisemitism to inform guidance in its Code of Practice about how particular discourse can lead to hatred or discrimination against Jews.

● When the Nazi card is played as abuse against Jews individually or collectively, it involves a discursive and targeted hurtful act of raw explicit insult and potentially serves as a threat of future violence.

So, How insane is that statement, they are calling for a law to be passed to stop a violent crime that may not take place, or has not taken place yet? So perhaps we should start arresting people who "may" in future commit a crime because of their thoughts and opinions? A Zionist Big Brother Police State Coming Soon To You!

● When the Nazi card is played as abuse against the collective memory of the Holocaust, the offender 'de-Nazifies' the role of the Nazis and casts Jews as conspirators.

● When the Nazi card is played by casting Jews as conspirators and collaborators with the Nazis, Jews are portrayed as beneficiaries of Nazi genocidal policies.

● When the Nazi card is played against Israel and Zionism, Israel as a state is cast in the role of the Nazis with Palestinians cast as victims of eliminationist policy and practice.

So in the above statements they make it crystal clear, the "Holocaust" excuse will "never" end. In other words, there will never come a time when it can be viewed as a historical event, and there will never come a time when you can be critical of it, or have an opposing opinion of that historical event. Now, to effectively rule that people cannot have their own opinions or questions, no matter how far out, is just another form of Big Brother Control of the masses by Israel world wide. Taking that one step further, what about people who believe that 9-11 was an inside job and that Jews were involved. So, that "form" of thought will also be outlawed as illegal. See here:

In the aftermath of several recent international terrorist attacks, allegations of Jewish conspiracies spread. Since the events of 9/11, antisemitic conspiracy theories have variously alleged that Jews or Zionists were responsible for the attacks or were aware of the attacks in advance. Together with such allegations has been the suggestion that thousands of Jews were secretly warned not to arrive at work on the day of the 9/11 attacks.

And this will also become illegal as well: Jews as conspirators with the Nazis

Conspiracy theories about Jews have historically provided the mainstay of antisemitic discourse. New conspiracies are promoted with varying malevolence often in reaction to prevailing social, political and economic calamities. Once given life, the conspiracy theories become part of the everyday ideology and discourse of what it is to be a Jew.

Can't have the truth about the Genocide in Gaza being reported in public, people may find out the truth! And they will be coming after books as well, so watch out!

In one of the earliest British contributions to the Holocaust-denial literature, Did Six Million Really Die? The Truth at Last,38 published in 1974, Richard Harwood claimed that the "deception" committed by "the Jewish people" had brought an "incalculable benefit" in that the "alleged extent of their persecution quickly aroused sympathy for the Jewish national homeland they had sought for so long".

"The language is significant – 'hoax', 'swindle', 'racket' – All in themselves implying 'Jew' through the historical accumulation of antisemitic connotations (money grabbing, Jewing, Shylock, etc.)".41

The Protocols of Zion will also be illegal

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and Henry Ford's The International Jew, are exemplars of such a depiction of the Jew. And more recent conspiracy theories about Jews manifest this malevolent discursive characterisation.

And lastly, more expressions that will become illegal

● Making mendacious, dehumanising, demonising, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective – such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.

Lookout, that sweeping statement covers everything about the Zionist Lobby's control inside America. So, will we see books such as THIS by JOHN MEARSHEIMER and STEPHEN WALT and books like THIS by James Petras becoming illegal under the guise of "Anti-Semitism"?

● Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.

● Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

Don't you love that one? If it was even remotely not true we'd not have American Israel Public Affairs Committe (AIPAC), Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and hundreds of other "lobby" groups contolling America and it's worldwide policies! They advocate for Israel not America. AIPAC spies and Jane Harman anyone? Sadly there's more:

● Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g. by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour.

● Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g. claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterise Israel or Israelis.

● Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

Please pass this post on...If you are NOT Angry then you are NOT paying attention. BIG BROTHER is already here, in the name of worldwide Zionism! Read it all here: http://www.eisca.eu/wp-content/uploads/ ... zicard.pdf

Me thinks the Jews had the same kinda laws just after 1917

[superzebra]

i see this in favour of us not in favour of the jew.
why?
because people will start to ask why it is forbidden to criticize israel,and they start to see the deception.
of course this is will awake the poeple in euorpe which is very important.
as for the usa it will remain the same.because the americans are drunk from zio-vodka.

[kolnidre]

I agree. This is not "good for the Jews" at all. As usual, it shows their lack of finesse and surplus of chutzpah.
