I receive regular e-mails from the Jewish Voice for Peace. I tend not to highlight their work though, not so much because I’m always going on about the plight of the Palestinians; more because I know I’d merely be preaching to the converted. 99.9% of my friends know how brutal the Israelis are. Moreover, we all know their power & influence is so vast it’s difficult to see how the Palestinian’s lot can ever improve. Things were bleak even before the plan for the creation of Greater Israel, which effectively eliminated any country in the region supporting the Palestinians. A slow genocide of the Palestinians is occurring & Iran is just about the only nation left standing up to the Israelis.

Dear Michael,

21-year-old Palestinian student Mays Abu Ghosh is in an Israeli jail cell and is a victim of torture at the hands of her jailers. Mays, who was arrested for her activism, has been interrogated so violently that her parents could barely recognize her – yet this horrific story is being met with no huge outcry and very little media attention. On August 29, Mays was arrested in her home during a sweep of Palestinian student activists and detained under ludicrous trumped-up charges.

As a student journalist, Mays has been a vocal advocate of Palestinian rights. Now she’s being tortured for her lifelong resistance to displacement, and being labeled a “major terrorist” for her work organizing with fellow students against Israeli oppression of Palestinians. Her “crimes” include participating in a conference about the Palestinian right of return in Lebanon, and speaking about her late brother on a radio program. Make no mistake – Mays was jailed for her commitment to justice.

Israel has a long, shameful history of torturing prisoners. Torture is NEVER acceptable. and the public outcry hasn’t been loud enough. Join us in calling for an END to Israeli torture and for the release of Mays Abu Ghosh and the many others wrongly jailed. When her parents were finally allowed to visit, Mays was so bruised and visibly wounded she was almost unrecognizable. Her mother couldn’t hug her because her body was in too much pain. It’s heartbreaking to think about and makes my blood boil.

We can’t allow this vile, authoritarian spin on “justice” to continue. Help us ensure Mays’ story is not ignored. Sign our petition to demand freedom for Mays and her fellow detainees, and an end to Israeli torture of Palestinians.

Thanks for all you do – Granate Kim

I posted this because I’m in no doubt sometime in the near future the people of the US, UK, France, Germany, Canada & Australia are going to realise what it’s like being a Palestinian, in other words living under barbaric Zionist rule. These countries are no longer democracies. THEY’RE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES! I’ve been saying this for ages & I’m going to keep saying this another 1000 times because it just doesn’t seem to sink in. So few people, activists included, have any idea this is 100% correct.

Of course we’re never going to be told Americans wanted Ron Paul & Bernie Sanders as their President; the French wanted Marine Le Pen; we wanted Jeremy Corbyn. We may have known this as individuals. The key here is knowing it collectively but the media ensures we’re never cognisant of this or the fact our elections are rigged from top to bottom. Furthermore people like me who feel compelled to put pen to paper are vigorously censored. Like I said, the best I can hope for is preaching to the converted.

The harsh reality is public support, especially in the case of Ron Paul, was overwhelming. Instead we were fed polls which belied the truth. This is the beauty of media control – if it doesn’t make the news, then it’s not news & it’s this critical absence of the truth, coupled with a Zionist controlled media quite simply concocting lie after lie, which allows them to get away with rigging elections. If genuine polls were published every week before elections the Zionists would never be able to pervert democracy. Control of the media is the key that opens Pandora’s box. Lamentably, Stalin was so right when he said –

THOSE WHO VOTE DECIDE NOTHING. THOSE WHO COUNT THE VOTES DECIDE EVERYTHING!

As a result & as per usual, Zionists get what they want – leaders who have no option but to place Israel’s interests first. What’s crucial here is another thing I’ve been saying for God knows how long – IF NO ONE STOPS THE ZIONISTS, THEY WILL NOT STOP! So, bad enough we’re being treated as if we’re worthless. However, the real bad news is what could be in store. As I said, we’re yet to discover what it’s like being a Palestinian. Now, is there any evidence to suggest a nightmare may well be awaiting us….
