Critical Mass in Tel Aviv to mark 40 years of Occupation

mi, 07.06.2007 09:32


This week marks 40 years of Israeli Occupation within Palestine since the 6 day war in 1967. A special Critical Mass was pursued yesterday in Tel Aviv instead of the normal every-last-friday ride. Our goal was to promote awareness within Israeli society (which is sleeping most of the time) that this "liberation"they celebrate is Occupation to so many human beings.







This week marks 40 years of Israeli Occupation within Palestine since the 6 day war in 1967. A special Critical Mass was pursued yesterday in Tel Aviv instead of the normal every-last-friday ride. Our goal was to promote awareness within Israeli society (which is sleeping most of the time) that this "liberation"they celebrate is Occupation to so many human beings.


Us cyclers gathered at the Tel Aviv cinematheque square, where booths of solidarity organizations stood as well as a mock-checkpoint with fake soldiers. The mock checkpoint searched and brutalized its victims as if they were Palestinians heading to their jobs within Israel proper. It caused Tel Aviv Israeli residents to get a feel for a Palestinian's daily life living in a racially oppressive country.

I am currently in a group called The Rebel Clown Army, made up of mostly Israeli anarchists. We cut up Israeli army uniforms and fancy them up with colorful scraps of clothing to construct our own army uniforms. International clowns visit Palestine constantly, so we have held clowning workshops with them to learn more techniques. Our intent is to spicen demonstrations within Israel, and to promote awareness about how fucking hilarious the Israeli army actually is. We also help relieve tension by creating laughter between the police force and activists, which ends up being extremely pointless and causes distraction from the true issues. The Rebel Clown Army will probably only remain in Isreal proper so as not to offend any Palestinians who do not see the occupying forces as a laughing matter.


Yesterday my sister, Shai, Doron, and myself dressed ourselves up and pedaled alongside about 150 other critical massers. Our mass rode in the streets causing cars to wildly honk at our strange interference in their timeschedule. We rode through Dizengolf, Sterot yerushaliam, Allenbee, Shanken... basically through all of downtown Tel Aviv. Many cyclers had bottles of red paint which was fastened to the bike in a sideways position: to leave a juicy trail of fresh blood behind. Whenever we hit a main intersection, the musicians would stand in the middle and we would Occupy(ha!) the space for about 5 minutes, the mass circulating and yelling chants. This was my first Critical Mass here, and I was unaware at how cooperating the Police were. They actually HELPED us stop traffic, and didnt mind when we caused a rukus within one of the many McDonalds we passed by. I have never participated in a critical mass with such kind police. cough,hack.

But I suppose this Critical Mass was unique. Our target group were the pedestrians. Some elder folks really liked to start verbal confrontations. I couldnt understand every word they said, as it was in hebrew. But i definitely saw and heard some grandpas screaming "BASTARDS"and traitors and so on while their grandchildren sat in the back of an SUV. Whenever these fellas would get offended by our mass, the Rebel Clown Army would go to the front lines. We LOVED to goof around with the angered ones. We also received a few smiles from children.

My favorite line to yell at the ones who were busy shopping was "Chag Kibush Samaoch", which means "happy occupation holiday!".

So, I know this week is prominent with actions against the G8 convention. Please remember that demos are also taking place around the world in solidarity with anti- occupation work. Maybe Ya'll can put on a show in Milwaukee to remind people of the past 40 years!

love,
mi


( i am a jew against the occupation. yes, we exist. and yes, anti semitism is different than anti zionism. make a clear distinction.)

My friend just informed me that the Police force actually were assholic to the ones rearing the mass who werent "moving along faster". I was in the front and only saw their gestures towards the traffic. Therefore, I apologize for portraying them as kind gentlemen who care about the safety of leftist anarcho cyclists disturbing a normal day in capitalist Tel Aviv.

Enemies in USA, Enemies in Israel, Bike Kraut
25.08.2007 - 10:24
You should realize that the regime in Israel is not asleep. They will kill you. They are crazy Krauts with a Star of David. Look at the poor millionaire Jews, many of them look 99 percent German and those cops you are talking about, they will kill you.

The United States is due for a regime change. We are told that money is being offered to kill our enemies in the USA and Israel. WE are hungry here, we welcome the grapes of wrath and a staunch rope around our enemies necks across the globe.

Mobile Audit Club, more proof of horrors, but that is not needed in the dead zone of Palestine, erroneously labeled israel by crazy Krauts and the regime in the USA, the feces of the Earth.

Your Welcome

Islam resent crime history

Islam resent crime history against humanity

In 1920s-30s, Palestinian Muslims committed massacre of Jews in Jewish land of Palestine murdering children and civilians thousands. The murder was organized by the founder and supreme leader of the Arab Higher Committee, Haj Amin al Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem in 1974, and supported by British Administration of Palestine. The massacre was, in reality, the Holocaust committed by Palestinian Arabs in compliance with Islamic Koran which demand killing Christians and Jews.

Haj Amin was close friend of Hitler. In 1941, Haj Amin came to Berlin and visited Hitler. He brought the Holocaust idea to Hitler. In 1943, Amin organized Bosnian Muslim battalions in Croatia comprising some twenty thousand men. The battalions were put in Waffen-SS units, fought Yugoslav partisans in Bosnia; thousands of Serbs, Roma ('Gypsies') and Jews hunted down by Haj Amin's SS troops were killed by those same troops, or they were sent to the Islamic death camp Jasenovac. After the WWII, the International tribunal declared Haj Amin was crime criminal; however, he escaped prosecution, fled to Egypt and then Palestine where he organized Fatah. After his death in 1974, Arafat, who was Haj Amin lieutenant, became Fatah commander. He organized PLO. PLO and Fatah committed numerous murders around the world killing American and European Christian and Jews.

From 1948 to 1953, Arab countries expelled almost million Jews and stall their properties. Laws of some Islamic countries ban Christians and Jews from living there, in compliance with Koran. In 1999, Kosovo Liberation Army stormed homes of the last 15 Jews in Kosovo’s capital, who had to clear out, with just the clothes on their backs


The above is only a minuscule part of Islamic criminal and murderous history; however, it is more than enough to conclude that:

Islam is Fascism
Koran is Islamic Mein Kampf

The world literature knows only two books calling for total elimination of people based on their ethnicity or religion:

1. Main Kampf by Adolf Hitler and
2. Koran by Prophet Muhammad

Israel-Arab Peace Plan
01.02.2008 - 18:29
Israel-Arab Peace Plan Principles

Starting in 1948 from very first day of recreation of the State of Israel on the part of Israel territory, Arab countries waged several wars to eliminate Israel from her historic land. Israel won all wars and now Arab countries propose a peace agreement with Israel under conditions, which they intended to dictate. However, only Israel, who won all the wars and defeated Arab countries, has legal rights to formulate and dictate peace agreement terms and conditions, which, in general, shell include the following provisions:

1. Palestinian Arabs must compensate Jews for damages caused by Jews massacres conducted in Palestine before WWII under British administration supervision, for providing Hitler with idea of Final Solution and for taking part in implementing the idea.
2. Arab countries must compensate Israel for damages inflicted on Israel during wars launched by Arab countries.
3. Arab countries must compensate about 1 million Jews expelled from Arab countries between 1948 and 1953, where they lived for centuries, for violation of international law and stilling properties.
4. Arab countries must recognize “Article 24 of the 1964 PLO charter addressed to UN, which stipulates: Palestinian Arabs do not claim Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza their territories”.
5. Arab countries must comply with Geneva Convention, which recognizes Israel rights on Gaza, Judea and Samaria, historic Jewish land liberated by Israel in 1967 war from Jordan and Egypt occupation.
6. Arab countries must recognize Jerusalem as historic Israel capital.
7. Egypt and Jordan are obligated to relocate Palestinian Arabs (their former citizens) from Gaza (Egypt), Judea and Samaria (Jordan) inside their territories within 1 (negotiable) year term.
8. Arab countries have no right to develop or acquire WMD or weapon that can be used against Israel.

If any Arab country denies this peace terms and conditions, Israel has full legal rights for preemptive strike against this country using all available military power. All islamofascism organizations operating on Israel territory occupied by Palestinian Arabs, such as PLO&Fatah (created after WWII on the principles of Hitler’s ideology and with close ties to Nazi party), Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Agsa Brigade, must be totally, unconditionally and immediately exterminated. All other Palestinian Arabs must be expelled from Israel back to the countries of their origin.
