promoting violence

by the sponge Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2006 at 2:03 PM

wow, is that post ever full of holes.

Bornat was arrested because he was "encouraging and directing rioters in Bil’in to throw large chunks of rock at Israeli vehicles in such a way as to cause maximum damage."
There is video evidence of him shouting '“Throw, throw!” and later, “Throw towards the little window!” '
He wasn't a peaceful cameraman bystander. He was unquestionably and purposefully promoting violence.

Hit and Run: Guerrilla Reviewing

by Guerilla News Network Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2006 at 4:37 PM

The Guerrilla News Network web site seems slightly retro, slightly well-off, slightly out-of-kilter cool, like Lily Allen in a Che Guevara T-shirt. The guys may wear berets. They do guerrilla book reviews:
you attack, and when the clumsy reaction force finally gets in place, you're gone! The review vanishes, as if it had never been, into some misty Sierra Madre of the internet.

In my case the attack was on The Case Against Israel, and the attacker is Ari Paul, who also does music reviews. I read the review, a couple of weeks late, I write a reply, I send it to GNN. But I don't get the guerrilla reviewers, I get the guerrilla apparatchiks. They only have first names, like code names.

First (not to count a message or two that go unanswered) my email with the reply gets returned undelivered. I write somebody else. He tells me to send it in the body of the email, to the original address, so I do. ( I guess they can't do WORD attachments up in the mountains.).
The email gets returned undelivered. I send it to the somebody who tells me to re-send it. It doesn't get returned, but he wants the first sentence out; it offends the dignity of GNN. I say ok. Then I get the following, name removed for guerrilla-security reasons:

***

M-
I just checked that article. We actually never posted it our front door. It was posted by Paul, but we never actually published it. Maybe Ari will post your response on his blog. It won't make any sense to our readers, who didn't read his original piece.

Best,
[code name]

***

...which is what I mean by apparatchik. I send some snarky reply, I look for the review and quietly, suddenly, it's gone, gone from the GNN site. My message goes unanswered. Hit and run, like Ché.

Only this is more like hit and run, by drunk driver. His car hits a pedestrian in the night and he drives off, praying not to be detected.
But Ari Paul's review leaves traces, and you can hunt it down, in Google's cache, complete with the logo of the guys who say they never actually published it. Here it is, though I feel like those heartless Bolivians displaying Ché's pale corpse. It's followed by my reply.

Aye

Figures... Didn't have to get into an argument with him, but I hate people throwing empty accusations without doing any actual research. Wouldn't be surprised if I've seen him on some forum already. Anyway, lack of his further remarks talks for itself.

You are right

by what the Palestinain leadership turned down Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2006 at 9:42 AM

"They had a chance to get practically everything they wanted - and they blew the chance."


Absolutely right. Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia called Arafats refusal to accept Camp David a crime against the Palestinian people.
The Palestinians were offered:
97% of the West Bank and 100% of the Gaza Strip- An additional land grant of 3% was to be offered as well.
The creation of a Palestinian state in the areas of Israeli withdrawal
The removal of most settlements and transfer of the land to Palestinian control
settlements remaining under Israeli control
Palestinian control over East Jerusalem, including most of the Old City
30 billion dollars as compensation for the "refugees"

"They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity"

Most of the anti-Zionist contributors at this site don't even attempt to hide their anti-Semitism anymore. And yes, many are as mad as hatters. Welcome to the playground.

it's a pattern

"I hate people throwing empty accusations without doing any actual research"

Take away Tinky Wink's empty accusations and you've taken away pretty much every part of his posts but the periods and the commas. The fun part is watching him have his anger-management-failure episodes every time he's been nailed to the wall again. Any opportunity he's ever had here to present himself as a reasonable, rational person, he's ended up machine gunning himself instead.

Butchered?

His family was butchered? I've never seen that. Have any sources? Because if his family actually was hurt and/or killed in war by British soldiers it's a whole other deal. So... Um... Sources?

Yeah, thought so...

That's the difference. If that man would be a victim - or his family would be - and he would come and yell at that soldier - it's one thing. It's more than understandable. But if his "brothers" are attacked in, say, Afghanistan, it's all different subject. Following that logic, can I go to, say, Hadassa Har ha Zofim (Mount Scopus) hospital and yell at Arabs there (at the very least) because their "brothers" attacks my "brothers" in Europe, destroy graves and kill Jews just for them being Jews?
