MAHATMA GHANDI

"Palestine

belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the

English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the

Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be

justified by any code of conduct. The Mandates have no sanction but

that of the last War. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to

reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews

partly or wholly as their national home. I am not defending the Arab

excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting

what they rightly regarded as an unwarranted encroachment upon their

country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong,

nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of

overwhelming odds."



Perhaps one of the most appropriate for remembering this great soul of

Ghandi, is the tribute from one of Israel's most intelligent sons,

Albert Einstein; "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a

one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood." It is however

certain that these generations to come will have lessons to learn from

the extraordinary life of Mohandas Gandhi"

Palestine for the sake of peace and the children of the middle-east,

will need to make a sacrifice and go a step further than what Mahatma

Gandhi suggested and recognize the state of Israel. Israel needs to

start a GENUINE dialogue and stop the blame game and delaying game of

pre-conditions. The solution itself is really simple., every child on

the street knows that a return to the '67 borders is the solution.

In Ireland we understand what the word (Shoah) Holocaust, (The Great

Hunger) means. Believe me, we understand, its in our blood and our

genes. Between 1845 - 1847 our population, was reduced from 9 million

to 3 million by ethnic cleansing, by systematic, calculated,

heartless, engineered famine. The revisionist historians have tried to

re-write our history but this is fact. Our country too, lost 6 million

people. It is so difficult, to forgive this but we must forgive and

move on, for the future and for our children's sake.

The publication

http://www.engageonline.org.uk/ressources/funny/index.html explains

this committee's compassion for the Jewish dilemma in this matter but

the Palestinian and Arab positions must be respected too.

As an Irish people overseas, who are outraged by the systematic ethnic

cleansing, being carried out currently in Gaza Concentration Camp, we

have found the above, a most informative source, thus far, in trying

to understand Israel and these war crimes. Our only reservation, is

the author's analysis of Leon Trotsky.



At this point, the only further obsevation we would make, is that we

are in danger of allowing cerebral masturbation, to become a

substitute for genuine human compassion and action, for the victims of

the victims of genocidal war crimes. Currently monstrous war crimes

are being committed by the US and Israel.



We believe our first action, must be a well organized, International

Boycott of all countries currently guilty of war crimes. A simple

majority of nations voting at the UN, should decide this matter

immediately. In the meantime, we are currently boycotting all American

and Israeli goods, music labels, film corporations, media

corporations, sport franchises, airlines, banking and services. There

are alternatives, we urge all intelligent people of goodwill, to be

ethical shoppers worldwide, including compassionate Americans and Jews

to do the same.



We need help with organizing this in Ireland, in an effective peaceful

international way. We also need to find effective united ways, to deal

with the considerable dis-information in the media, from very powerful

agencies. This campaign to be effective and not fall foul, to black

propaganda, must dis-associate itself entirely, from all violence,

justified or not, to be effective.

The propaganda and lies will come, so please, keep it peaceful, keep

it simple and stay

united.

To stay United, again, we must keep it simple, division and those who

promote it,

is a friend of the enemy.



United we stand, Divided we fall.



BOYCOTT THE USA AND ISRAEL NOW !
