SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS

Moral decay, political corruption and fascism are everywhere. But activists have been busy. For decades we have tried every tactic to avert catastrophe. We voted, wrote letters, gave money, held signs, protested in marches, clicked links, signed petitions, tweeted websites, wrote books, taught classes, turned off the television, programmed apps, engaged in direct action, committed petty vandalism. All for naught. Popular revolution remains the only viable tactic left.

WERE THESE HAMAS TERRORIST CHICKENS FIRING ROCKETS?

After the assassination of most of the family, the bulldozers and Caterpillars moved in.

Israel's devastating war on Gaza claimed the lives of more than 1,335 persons and left at least 5,500 other wounded. In addition tens of thousands of utilities, houses, businesses, and factories were partially or totally destroyed.

The war caused psychological damage for thousands of people especially children. I reported on the war daily and my focus was on the human toll. However, I recently came across a story that changed my focus completely a revealed to me the true nature of Israel's soldiers and their intent in invading Gaza.

Dead Freedom Fighter chickens.

Since the ceasefire was enacted, I have toured throughout Gaza to document some stories and accounts. Although I wrote many articles, I decided to focus on the untold stories of the war: the brutal massacre of thousands of chickens.

American made armored Caterpillar bulldozers epitomize the Zionist

military and ethnic cleansing tactic of chaos and destruction.

"Kill it all , leave them nothing, and they will leave."

On 5 January, many Israeli tanks, troops and bulldozers advanced into the al-Zeitoun neighborhood south east of Gaza City. In this area, called al-Samouni, Israel killed 49 members of the Samouni family, after soldiers ordered them to gather into a single home, which was shelled several hours later.

Nothing but chaos remains after such tactics.

A number of chicken farms are located only a few meters away from the Samouni house. These farms came under fire by Israeli forces and were totally bulldozed. Thousands of chickens were caught in their sheds, as the bulldozing destroyed their cages. Some died immediately, others slowly without food or water for four days.

A confused survivor. Depending on what was used for this destruction,

most likely this bird is by most standards, completely toxic,

unsuitable for consumption, but with famine facing the Palestinians,

such technicalities will not be much of a consideration.

Abu Ahmed al-Sawafari, an owner of a chicken farm , was sitting amidst the rubble of his destroyed farm. He explained that "I have been working on that profession for long years. I have been growing my business by all efforts. Israelis came then left causing an earthquake in the area. They have killed these chickens, they are equal to human souls. They were suffocated and died due to hunger. I wonder why the Israelis killed these chickens? Were they firing rockets into Israel?"

A solitary dead Hamas chicken.

This bird was shot in the act of firing a Hamas rocket.

I continued touring farms in the area where the smell of death filled the air. Surviving chickens roamed around surrounded by thousands of their dead kin. It was an overwhelming scene leaving one to ask only: why?

The author asks "Why?" To which I respond "Because they can."

If this question was directed to the Israeli army their response would be swift and predictable. They would likely contend that "rockets" were being fired from the farms, or that there were Palestinian resistance fighters in the area.

However, unless the Israeli army is prepared to claim that these chickens were resistance fighters or were firing rockets nothing can explain why the self-proclaimed "world's most moral army" would engage in the wholesale slaughter of civilians and chickens alike.

To the Israeli military, a chicken is of more value than a Palestinian.

So they killed as many of each as they could.

Families trickle back to what remains of their once prosperous farms.

Please Note: Sameh A. Habeeb is responsible for the text and the photographs. However, I found both in different locations and put them together. My only contributions were the placement of his photos with my captions and the comments below.

When I saw these photos a few days ago, I was shocked and puzzled by the unnecessary carnage until I realized the most likely reason behind the shelling of such rocket-launching chickens.

Of course this excess of murder would be explained away by Mz Livni as, "These chickens were feeding and nourishing members of Hamas so had to be punished for their participation in the Freedom Fighters nourishment! They represented a danger to the Palestinian people. Vote for me!"

This excuse/explanation is about as sensible as any of her other denials or reasons for why such horrors were perpetrated by the Israeli military on civilians, including hapless farmers.

In most cases, the families and workers were herded into one home and then the building would be bombed or shelled and finally bulldozed with the remaining inhabitants left inside. Entire families were wiped out this way. This was a war of genocide. Yet another vicious crime perpetrated on GENTLE people by the overly-zealous and malicious rogue state known as Israel.

However, black humor (!) aside, it is my personal feeling that this atrocity was but part of the overall plan to weaken Palestinian ability to be nutritionally self ~ sustaining.

Remove all manners of survival which meant eradicating the Samouni family as they did, and (BONUS points!) wipe out a food source not dependent on Israeli control! The compassionate Israeli military perpetrated similar useless carnage on the green houses spread about the country.

If Livni could pull it off , I am sure that she would blame the eradication of tomato and pepper greenhouse due to the fact they were feeding Hamas, and, therefore, terrorists that had to be removed from the field of combat. Do you think Obama would buy that?

We know Bush would have! They had already long killed the flourishing flower businesses through their illegal siege, now they moved on to sources of food.

This same crippling strategy has been aimed at the Palestinian police force, their educational facilities (including the university of agriculure), their hospitals and healing operations, their government, much livestock and certainly the poisoning of soils. They already had the fishing industry almost dead from similar tactics.

Two farmers, surveying the carmage, shell-shocked once more,

wondering where to begin.

***Now starvation of the Palestinian people, which was a problem before, will flourish unless the international community gets off its collective ass and does something beyond blaming the Palestinians for their own problems!!!!!!***

Saving the survivors!

In this short Al-Jazeera report, the Samouni family and friends
return to search for missing family members in the rubble.

WORDS OF NOTE

Pharisaism is Talmudism;

Talmudism is Judaism;

Judaism is Zionism;

Zionism is Communism;

Communism is Nazism;

Nazism is the New World Order;

The New World Order is the reign of the Antichrist;

They are all the Six forms

of the ultimate Satanic Evil.

“Gentiles exist only to serve Jews as slaves. Goyim were only born to serve us. Without that they have no place in the world. Only to serve the people of Israel. Why are gentiles needed? They are only here to work. They will work, they will plow. They will reap. We will sit like effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created,” Rabbi Yosef, Sha Party, Jerusalem Post

*****

"The difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews ~ all of them in all different levels ~ is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle." ~ Rabbi Kook, the Elder, father of the messianic tendency of Jewish fundamentalism, said

*****

The cruel canard ‘anti-Semitic’ does not apply for many reasons, not the least of which is the simple fact that the slanderous word itself is derived from language games for purposes of propaganda and in real world context has no validity. ~ Tom Valentine

*****

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker.

Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy.

Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot'

than the stigma of conformity.

And on issues that seem important to you,

Stand up and be counted at any cost.

~ Thomas J Watson (1874-1956)

*****

'There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.' ~ John Swinton, former Chief of Staff, The New York Times, 1953

WORDS FROM THE ZIONIST/TALMUDIC ENTITY TO BE AWARE OF

"My opinion of Christian Zionists? They're scum, but don't tell them that. We need all the useful idiots we can get right now." ~ Bibi Netanyahu

*****

It was hard for Satan alone to mislead the whole world, so he appointed prominent rabbis in different localities. ~ A Chasidic saying attributed to Nahman of Bratzlav, early 19th century

*****

This is what Trotsky, a Jew,was preparing for the Russians for the implementation of Communism, which Marx based on the Babylonian Talmud for Gentiles:

"We should turn Her (Russia) into a desert populated with white Niggers. We will impose upon them such a tyranny that was never dreamt by the most hideous despots of the East. The peculiar trait of that tyranny is that it will be enacted from the left rather than the right and it will be red rather than white in color.

Its color will be red literally because we would spill such torrents of blood that they will pale all human losses of the capitalist wars and make the survivors shudder.

*****

The largest overseas banks will cooperate with us most closely. If we win the Revolution and squash Russia, on the funeral pyres of its remains we will strengthen the power of Zionism and become a power the whole world would drop in the face of on its knees. We will show the world what real power means.

By way of terror and blood baths we will bring the Russian intelligentsia into a state of total stupor, to idiocy, to the animal state of being. So far our young men dressed in leather ~ the sons of watch repair men from Odessa and Orsha, Gomel and Vinnitza ~ oh, how beautifully, how brilliantly do they master hatred of everything Russian! With what a great delight do they physically destroy the Russian intelligentsia ~ officers, engineers, teachers, priests, generals, agronomists, academicians, writers!" ~ Secret Forces in History of Russia. U.K. Begunov 1995, p 148

*****

Marxism, to which all branches of Socialism necessarily adhere, was originated by Jew Karl Marx, himself of Rabbinical descent and has been dominated by them from the beginning. Marx did not actually originate anything; he merely “streamlined” Talmudism for Gentile consumption.

“One of the finest things ever done by the mob was the Crucifixion of Christ. Intellectually it was a splendid gesture. But trust the mob to bungle the job. If I’d had charge of executing Christ, I’d have handled it differently. You see, what I’d have done was had him shipped to Rome and fed him to the lions. They could never have made a savior out of mincemeat!”~ Rabbi Ben Hecht

*****

“The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks.”~ Al Goldstein (publisher of Screw Magazine).

*****

"You have not begun to appreciate the depth of our guilt. We are intruders. We are subverters. We have taken your natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We have been at the bottom of not merely the latest Great War, but of every other major revolution in your history.

We have brought discord and confusion and frustration into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell how long we shall go on doing it. Who knows what great and glorious destiny might have been yours if we had left you alone." ~ Marclis Eli Ravage, Century Magazine February, 1926.
