Human Rights Activism Lies
Preface:
This Article was written in 2006. Seven years later in 2013 nothing much has changed in the way Activists, The Media, The United Nations and Hamas lie! And as we have discovered over the last couple of years, many of these lying activists end up raped or murdered by the very people they 'lie for'.
Original Article:
From the most recent newsletter from HonestReporting.com comes a report about an article posted in the Capital Times Newspaper in Madison that must be the most self deluded piece of Media fiction that I have ever read. Take a look!
BIO: Jennifer Loewenstein of Madison is a visiting research fellow at Oxford University's Refugee Studies Centre in Oxford, England. She has lived and worked in Gaza City, Beirut and Jerusalem and has traveled extensively throughout the Middle East, where she has worked as a free-lance journalist and a human rights activist.

For those who haven't noticed, Israel opposes a two-state solution.
It opposes them because it opposes the presence of another people on land it has claimed as the exclusive patrimony of the Jews.
For those who haven't noticed, there is no sign of this process coming to an end.
Instead, in addition to the bizarre demand that Hamas accept the two -state solution that Israel has categorically rejected and each day renders even more geographically impossible, another two demands are added to it: Hamas must recognize Israel, and it must renounce violence.
In other words, it must recognize a state whose policies and whose leaders have worked tirelessly for decades to deny, undo, renounce, prevent and reject the existence both of Palestinians and of Palestine - not only in the present and future but also through erasing the past.
Under such circumstances, it is incumbent upon ourselves to ask why Hamas has therefore been ordered - by Israel and its same powerful friends - to accept "the two-state solution," especially when, unlike Israel, it has stated clearly and repeatedly that it would accept a Palestinian state on the lands occupied by Israel in the 1967 war, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Indeed, all of its key spokespeople have said this.
When one reads this type of 'tripe', one must wonder about the sanity of the writer, but then again, as I have written many times, Truth is never allowed to stand in the way of an activist agenda.
After reading the statements above, one must wonder what it was that Israel was doing when they threw their own people out of Gaza and turned it over to the Palestinians. According to this piece of garbage, Israel is doing everything to 'geographically' prevent a two state solution, but as has been reported often enough, what Hamas now demand, they could have had years ago, and had the Arabs not attacked Israel, but rather have formed their own Palestinian state, they could have had so much more than is now possible. If the Israeli position is never to allow a two state solution, one must also wonder what Israel would have done, had the Palestinians actually accepted their opportunity to form their own state at the same time as did Israel, in 1948. Contrary to the claims in this article, anything other than a two state solution was never an option open to the leadership of Israel.
If the author of this diatribe finds it bizarre that Hamas should accept a two state solution, then why should it be less so for Israel, which of course is the stated point of her article. As for Israel's working for decades to deny the Palestinians anything, historically it has been the Palestinian leadership who have consistently denied their people an opportunity for their own state, and an opportunity to live in peace.
As for the total bold faced lie, whether intentional or through self delusion, about the Palestinian desire for peace, the Palestinian leadership has repeatedly in the last few weeks assured us all, over and over again, that Israel shall never be recognised, and it shall be destroyed. On this point, it has never changed its' Charter.
AFP quotes Khalad Meshaal, Damascus- based Hamas leader:
"The demand that Hamas and the resistance movements lay down their weapons and become political parties is unrealistic and has nothing to do with the Palestinian reality on the ground," said Meshaal in an interview broadcast on Dubai-based Arab news channel Al-Arabiya after the end of his landmark visit to Moscow Sunday.

And Now for some more lies
Palestinian Media Watch Bulletin : March 23, 2006 Hamas Duplicity: Talk Peace in English and deny it Arabic By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
In its attempt to gain international legitimacy, Hamas is presenting a conciliatory face to the Western media, while rejecting peace to its own people in Arabic, and even denying that the conciliatory statements were made. In the latest example, Hamas Prime Minister-designate Ismail Haniyah told CBS on March 16 that he hoped to some day sign a peace agreement with Israel. A Hamas member of Parliament immediately told the Palestinian Authority media that the CBS report was "unfounded," and part of a "crazy campaign which aims at embarrassing and confusing the Palestinians and undermining the trust of the masses in Hamas." [Al Hayat Al Jadida, March 19, 2006]
Haniyah was interviewed on CBS news and said, among other things, that he was "seeking a peace settlement and stability in this region," "looking forward to peace and tranquility in this region," and "seeking American administration to create this missing peace." [www.cbsnews.com] Hamas Denies statements were made: A Hamas MP, speaking in Arabic to a PA newspaper, immediately denied these statements as lies, and part of a conspiracy of the US media to damage the true image of the Hamas:
"[Hamas] MP Mushir Al-Masri denied what was reported in various places in the media about Hamas abandoning its principles, relying on statements attributed to the Prime Minister designate, Ismail Haniyah, according to which he hopes that a peace treaty will be signed with the Israelis. He said that these statements, released on CBS, are unfounded [lit: naked of all truth]. Al-Masri said that these matters are part of a crazy campaign which aims at embarrassing and confusing the Palestinian arena and undermining the trust of the masses in Hamas movement… He added: "the Palestinian media grasps that this campaign should not be related to… and it understands that America endeavors to undermine the [Hamas] movement in the eyes of the Palestinian people…" As to the PM's statements, which have been distorted, Al-Masri said: "the American channel [CBS] broadcast that Sheikh Ismail Haniyah had said in an interview that he hoped that a treaty with Israel would be signed in the White House. I believe that the basis for the controversy over the [Hamas] political plan are the [peace] agreements, which in our opinion bring no benefit…"[Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah, March 19, 2006]
It should be noted that the reason for this strong rejection of the willingness for peace with Israel is that it violates the most basic tenet of Hamas' belief, that Islam demands the destruction of Israel. Article 13 of the Hamas charter states: ". . . Renouncing any part of Palestine [i.e. accepting Israel] means renouncing part of the religion." Hamas would have to scrap and recreate the basis of its religious ideology to accept Israel. To SUBSCRIBE to PMW reports, send an e-mail to pmw@pmw.org.il with "SUBSCRIBE" in the subject line.

Palestinian Media Watch Bulletin March 13, 2006 Terrorist-murderer Quntar awarded honorary Palestinian citizenship Girls, 4 and 2, and father killed in Quntar's 1979 terror attack By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
Introduction
Societies measure their heroes in different ways. Some societies honor athletes or performers. Others celebrate caregivers and humanitarian workers. The Palestinians, on the other hand, have consistently chosen to honor murderers as their national icons. The Palestinian Authority has announced that it was granting honorary citizenship to two Arab terrorists who killed Israelis – a Lebanese terrorist, Samir Quntar, and Jordanian terrorist, Sultan Al-Ajaluni. Both are serving life sentences in Israeli jails. In 1979 Lebanese terrorist Samir Quntar murdered Danny Haran and his four-year-old daughter, Einat. Danny's daughter Yael, aged two, suffocated while hiding in a crawl space with her mother. Quntar is serving multiple life sentences totaling 542 years in prison.
Smadar Haran, wife and mother of the murder victims, described the murder in the Washington Post in 2003:
"It was a murder of unimaginable cruelty… It had been a peaceful Sabbath day. My husband, Danny, and I had picnicked with our little girls, Einat, 4, and Yael, 2, on the beach. Around midnight … the terrorists burst into our building. Danny helped our neighbor climb into a crawl space above our bedroom; I went in behind her with Yael in my arms. Danny grabbed Einat and was dashing out the front door when the terrorists came crashing into our flat. They held Danny and Einat … I will never forget the joy and the hatred in the terrorists voices as they swaggered about hunting for us, firing their guns and throwing grenades. … As I lay there, I remembered my mother telling me how she had hidden from the Nazis during the Holocaust. "This is just like what happened to my mother," I thought. .. The terrorists took Danny and Einat down to the beach. There, according to eyewitnesses, one of them shot Danny in front of Einat so that his death would be the last sight she would ever see. Then he smashed my little girl's skull in against a rock with his rifle butt. That terrorist was Samir Quntar." [Smadar Haran Kaiser, Washington Post, May 18, 2003]
This is the Samir Quntar who last week was granted honorary Palestinian citizenship. Palestinian organizations responded with applause to this announcement:
"The "friends of the prisoners" organization sees the decision, of the present [Fatah led] government, to award Palestinian citizenship to two Arab prisoners – Samir Quntar from Lebanon and Sultan Al-Ajaluni from Jordan – an act of Palestinian national obligation and in dedication to this honored history, that the Arab prisoners have provided to the Palestinian issue."[Al-Quds, Mar. 7, 2006]
"The Palestinian Liberation Front, through general secretariat member, Dr. Wasil Abu Yusuf, praised the government's decision… to award the imprisoned fighters, Sarmir Quntar and Sultan Al-Ajaluni , honorary citizenship and Palestinian citizenship as an act of dedication to their struggle and their heroic suffering in the occupation's prisons.[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Mar. 8, 2006]
"The Palestinian Popular Committees expressed their appreciation for the government's decision to award the two imprisoned fighters, Sarmir Quntar and Sultan Al-Ajaluni, honorary citizenship and Palestinian citizenship as an act of dedication to their struggle and their heroic sufferings in the occupation's prisons.[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Mar. 9, 2006]
From PMW archives: Sarmir Quntar – for years a Palestinian hero
PATV and PA leaders have long seen Quntar as a hero. His picture is repeatedly shown on TV and he was proclaimed the "model warrior," "brave," and a "leader" and "head" of the prisoners.PA Minister of Prisoners, Hisham Abdul Razeq, defined Quntar as the leader of the prisoners:
The torch of freedom [that] was lifted by our heroic prisoners and headed by the great warrior Samir Quntar...and our thanks to you.[PATV, Aug. 15, 2004]
Prominent PA TV broadcaster Muhammad Albaz:
"Here before us is the picture of the great Lebanese Palestinian warrior Samir Quntar. A thousand blessings to the warrior Samir Quntar [the audience claps] and to his family in Lebanon and to this hero who was sentenced to 576 year [in prison] and this is the evil and this is Israeli democracy. [PATV, Aug. 25, 2004]
PA TV extolled him:
"Quntar is a model of a brilliant warrior - who believes in his goals, knows his way, and perseveres in achieving those goals...."[PATV, Aug. 18, 2004]
Another TV broadcaster referred to him as a leader:
"The leader Samir Quntar, our wish for him is that he will soon be released." [PATV, Aug. 18, 2004]
A broadcast describing Quntar's life defines his murder as "brave:
"He was sentenced to 542 years in prison for committing the brave Nahariya action in Palestine (note-Israel city of Nahariya is defined as 'Palestine.')[PATV, Aug. 18, 2004]
Palestinian demonstrators supporting a prisoner hunger strike singled out Quntar as a model to be followed:
"We bless the family members of Samir Quntar, we are with you. He is your son but he is also our son, the son of Palestine. We ask of Allah, that there will be 100 more Samir Quntars, 1,000 more Samir Quntars, 1,000,000 more Samir Quntars, that do and act for the Palestinian issue. [PATV, Aug. 18, 2004]
Finally it should be noted that this act of granting honorary Palestinian citizenship to Quntar was done by the present Fatah headed government. The Hamas led government has not yet been appointed.

Comment
Every side of every story has its own peculiar self interested perspective. That is both logical and natural. If I believe that the world is flat, and you believe that the world is round, well, we are at an impasse.
But if I know the world is round, but simply refuse to acknowledge it, then at worst I have a psychological problem, and at best, I am a cold calculating fish hell bent on trouble making, just looking for an arguement to start a fight.
When it comes to Israel and Palestine, there are several points that cannot be denied:
The Palestinians had an opportunity for statehood in 1948 and they refused
The Arab nations declared war on Israel from it's foundational day - and lost
It has been the stated purpose of the Arabs since Israel's inceptionto to annihilate it
When Israel offered everything post 1967 back to the Palestinians it was rejected
Hamas is now demanding what they refused when it was offered, and offers nothing in return
Hamas and its' forebears have made the Palestinian people suffer needlessly
The Israelis don't indoctrinate and otherwise train citizens from infancy, to commit suicide
Israel has always had the greater military power, but unlike Hamas, has never indulged in wholesale slaughter of civilian populations
Finally - Despite all the BS claims made by Loewenstein and others of her ilk, those Arabs who chose to remain inside Israel, have always been citizens of Israel. The Bastards who run Hamas have never been so generous.
Egyptian security forces were looking for four Palestinians on Saturday who slipped into the country from the Gaza Strip the previous day and were suspected of planning suicide attacks against resorts in the Sinai Peninsula, a local security official said.
The search follows the arrests of 15 Palestinians over the past few days who were caught carrying weapons and explosives in the town of el-Arish, located some 35 kilometers from the border, and other remote parts of the Sinai desert.
The border breach came several days after Israel had imposed a complete blockade on Gaza, with Egyptian backing, in response to a rocket barrage from Gaza on the western Negev.
'Over our dead bodies' : As far as Mubarak is concerned, the Gaza Strip, which has been nothing but a curse to all those who tried to govern it, should return to being Israel's problem.
"Today, many understand that the 'two states' slogan is a lie. The public is ready for the alternative: the application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria." Geulah Cohen negated the fear raised in certain circles of the response by the world, primarily the United States. "When I initiated the Jerusalem and Golan Law, it was threatened that the sun would not rise the next day. With G-d's help, the sun continues to rise, the skies didn't fall, and so it will be, with G-d's help, when Israel will apply its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria."
A young woman, Naomi Oni 20, was facially disfigured and almost lost her eyesight in a horrific unprovoked acid attack on the streets of London. She was on her way home from work when an unknown attacker dressed in a niqab threw a chemical substance at her, leaving the retail assistant with severe burns on her head, neck, arms, legs and body..... Hamas denied that its leader, Khaled Mashaal, had declared his acceptance of the two-state solution (reported by a Saudi-owned newspaper). "These claims are baseless," said Izzat al-Risheq, a senior Hamas official. " We will never agree to give the Zionist state one inch of the land of Palestine." (Enemies of the Jewish state lie but the international anti-Semites do not question their genocidal intentions!)
This was in no way any different to the way the church in Bayern (Bavaria) was able to get its people to support Adolf Hitler's NAZI PARTY in the 1930's. So, history is actually repeating itself in Kebec, which already took place in Germany during the Nazi era, and that is exactly where Kebec is today. The final destruction of Kebecois society like that of Germany will not come from the outside, but will come from within.
A key portion of the meeting was White House Domestic Policy Council (DPC) Director Cecilia Munoz outlining President Obama's overall immigration reform proposal that includes creating a pathway to citizenship for up to 11-million illegal aliens. In my discussion with the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Safety and Border Security, I mentioned that a potential "State of State Emergency" might be unfolding, and deliberate steps might have to be taken by the State of Arizona to protect its' own sovereignty and welfare."
Definition: King's Calendar Chronological Research
The Premise: Between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE (but continuing down to at least 104 BCE), Sectarian redactors transcribed the legitimate 'solar year' chronological records of Israel and Judah, into an artificial form, with listed years as each comprised of 12 months of 4 weeks of 7 days, or 336 days per year, thus creating a 13th artificial year where 12 solar years existed.
When the Synchronous Chronological Data provided in the Books of Kings and Chronicles for the Divided Kingdom Period are measured in years of 336 days, the synchronisms actually align. [Refer to Appendix 5. to see how it synchronises the Divided Kingdom Period]

Whilst there have been many attempts to solve the chronological riddle of the Bible's synchronisms of reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah and their synchronism with other Ancient Near Eastern Nations, no other research is based on a simple mathematical formula which could, if it is incorrect, be disproved easily. To date, no one has been able to dismiss the mathematical results of this research.
