Deception of power [Archives:2002/16/Focus]

COMMON SENSE
Hassan Al-Haifi
Over the last two weeks, the world has been witness to the type of atrocity seen in only the worst of human history. A people without arms, without a state and without hope have been victimized by an ugly Zionist machine that has deceived not only its enemies but its friends. It is unbelievable that the international community can let a bunch of hooligans, of the likes of Ariel Sharon, make a mockery of the whole world. This includes showing contempt for even the words of the President of the Untied States, who is perhaps the only friend they have left in this world.
These Zionist hooligans continue to believe that everyone is stupid and that they can rely on this stupidity to carry out their aggression. The worst part is the ease by which they take advantage of their friends’ misguided emotions and use political arm twisting to influence even the policies of their sponsors, who seem to stand by helpless amidst the continuing arrogance of Ariel Sharon.
For decades now the international Zionist establishment has thrived by lying and lying and lying to the point that the truth has become only meaningful if it relies on mischief and misguided sentiment.
Despite the fact that Israel has been unleashing a campaign of continuous terror and human rights violations, Ariel Sharon and his clique continue to try to persuade us that they are a bona fide member of “the free world” and the democracies of the world. In fact, they insist that whatever it is they are doing is in order to uphold the West and Western civilization.
However, we have seen how the Zionist machine of destruction has killed scores of innocent and unarmed civilians needlessly in a campaign that might have easily been undertaken by a police force, if we can assume that the campaign has its justifications, which it really doesnt have. Thus up to 1,000 mostly unarmed Palestinians have lost their lives, many of whom were left to bleed to death because the symbol of Western culture does not allow ambulances to come and pick up the wounded. What mockery of human justice is this? Where is the Geneva Convention, and all the conventions and treaties that govern the treatment of civilian populations during the war, if we can assume that there is a war at play. The fact of the matter is that the Zionists are trying to implement a long ago planned campaign of ethnic cleansing to complete their Zionist program of turning the Holy Land into a Jewish Island. Even the Church of the Nativity is not spared the cruelty and contempt that Zionist demagogues have for other religions.
The disturbing element in all this is that the Zionists can lie to the point that they think everyone else in the world is stupid. Here is a case in point. A few days ago the Mayor of West Jerusalem, Ehud Molbert had the audacity to tell the whole world that Jerusalem does not mean anything to the Moslems of the world and that Jerusalem was the capital for Jews only throughout its history. Furthermore, he went on to show disrespect to the Muslim world by saying Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the Quran!
The truth is that Jerusalem is significant to the Moslems because it was the focal point, to which Moslems turned to pray, before they were ordered to turn to the Grande Mosque in Mecca, which was originally built by the patriarch of both the Arabs and the Jews, the Prophet Ibrahim (PAUH)! On the other hand, the Mayor of Jerusalem forgot that we revere their Prophets and Messengers more than they do, for King David and King Solomon are also prophets of Islam. The Quran does indeed cite the name of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in Jerusalem on a number of occasions and refers to Jerusalem indirectly in several verses. I leave the Mayor of Jerusalem to look them up by picking a properly translated version of the Quran that has not been smeared by Zionist manipulators, who are working diligently to distort all the cultural references that do not suit their chauvinistic and arrogant whims.
