and friends of AWARE, the ‘anti-war anti-racism effort’ of
Champaign-Urbana. I’m Carl Estabrook.</p><p class=""> We are recording this at noon on Tuesday, May 15, in the studios of Urbana Public Television.</p><p class="">
Our subject is the wars the US government is waging around the world,
and the racism we display to those we’re killing, in accord with the
Latin proverb, ‘Proprium humani ingenii est odisse quem laeseris” -
“It’s human nature to hate those you have injured.”</p><p class=""> At this
moment the US is making war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan,
Somalia, Syria, & Yemen - principally to control the flow of oil
out of the Mideast and North Africa, which the US uses as a weapon
against its economic rivals from Germany to China.</p><p class=""> Thousands of U.S. troops are killing people in these countries, although most Americans are barely aware of it. </p><p class="">
~ More than a quarter of a million US troops are stationed in a
thousand US bases on foreign soil, most of them ringing Russia and
China.</p><p class=""> ~ The 70,000-members of the U.S. ‘Special Operations
Command’ are active in three-quarters of the countries of the world.
Their activities include kidnapping (‘rendition’), torture, and murder.
As the rest of the world recognizes - but Americans don’t - they are
nothing less than American death squads. </p><p class=""> The rest of the world
recognizes that the US today is what ML King called it long ago, the
“greatest purveyor of violence in the world today” - an international
criminal surpassing all others. But most Americans don’t know that,
protected as they are by government and media propaganda. What we do
here at AWARE ON THE AIR is try to encourage our fellow-citizens to
oppose US government killing around the world.</p><p class=""> ===================<br class="">
The crime of the week has been committed by American client Israel -
attacking & killing unarmed protesters, including children &
journalists. </p><p class=""> [WikiLeaks] Israeli snipers shot 1,359 Gaza border

Embassy in Jerusalem has been met with deadly clashes [SIC] along the
Israeli-Gaza border. At least 58 Palestinians were killed in protests
and confrontations on Monday as the new embassy was officially opened.
Global leaders condemned Israeli forces for using lethal force against
protesters, but there could be even more bloodshed to come. Today,
Palestinians are observing what they call "Nakba," or Catastrophe, in
memory of the more than 700,000 Palestinians who [WERE ETHNICALLY
CLEANSED FOR] the state of Israel. </p><p class=""> The 1948 Palestinian exodus,
also known as the Nakba (Arabic: al-Nakbah, literally "disaster",
"catastrophe", or "cataclysm"), occurred when more than 700,000
Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled from their homes, during the
1948 Palestine war. Between 400 and 600 Palestinian villages were sacked
during the war, while urban Palestine was almost entirely extinguished.
The term "nakba" also refers to the period of war itself and events
affecting Palestinians from December 1947 to January 1949.</p><p class=""> The
precise number of refugees, many of whom settled in refugee camps in
neighboring states, is a matter of dispute[4] but around 80 percent of
the Arab inhabitants of what became Israel (half of the Arab total of
Mandatory Palestine) left or were expelled from their homes.[5][6] About
250,000-300,000 Palestinians had fled or been expelled before the
Israeli Declaration of Independence in May 1948, a fact which was named
as a casus belli for the entry of the Arab League into the country,
sparking the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.</p><p class=""> ========<br class=""> [HAARETZ] “Jerusalem celebrates, Tel Aviv parties and Gaza bleeds - a surreal 24 hours”</p><p class=""> “Tens of Thousands Attend Funerals for 60 Gazans Killed [BY IDF] in Border Protests” </p><p class="">

realize that 1968 was a pivotal year for counterrevolution in the U.S.
and Western Europe. The capitalist class was under assault and had real
concerns about its survival when it decided to launch a murderous
counter against popular forces world-wide.</p><p class=""> Dems not standing up for anything except impeach Trump. That's what they're running on. <br class=""> EVEN Sanders can't help himself from emphasizing the bogus "Hamas violence" theme...<br class="">
Bernie Sanders: "Over 50 killed in Gaza today and 2,000 wounded, on top
of the 41 killed and more than 9,000 wounded over the past weeks. This
is a staggering toll. Hamas violence does not justify Israel firing on
unarmed protesters."</p><p class=""> ===========<br class=""> [Gary Brecher] A huge
massacre. Death toll now given as 58, with 2700 wounded. And "wounded"
is a very light term for this. There'll be many disabled for life, which
in a blockaded resettlement zone like Gaza means families exhausting
themselves for decades trying to find medical care, supplies, and
accessible transport. The dead are a different sort of burden to the
community. In cold terms Hamas wins (at terrible cost) and Israel loses
today, but insurgents, it's worth remembering, are human and come from
families. Families want justice. Thus the First Intifada, rocks against
tanks, is followed by the second, more lethal one. Israel probably wants
Hamas to jump to that stage, which it knows how to exploit in its
time-honored fashion. But that's a short-term solution at best. Does
Israel have any long-term one? I can't see it. The long slide to pariah
status, the retreat to raw ethno-religious chauvinism, and the bottom
line: "We've got the US backing us, and nukes." Which means another
round--another dozen, maybe hundred more rounds--of this, followed by
the transformation, distraction, or extinction of the foreign backer, at
which point it will become clear that the nukes are not really such
effective deterrents. Can't see any other end to this. As Mark Ames and I
said on the RWN we recorded yesterday, there COULD have been a
relatively happy ending once--something better than this slow
metal-fatigue attrition--but that doesn't mean there's one now.</p><p class="">
Enoch Allred Promo heard on NPR yesterday: "the US opened its embassy in
Jerusalem today. It was met with cheers from Israelis, but some
Palestinians were not so happy". The liberal media.</p><p class=""> And one thing
you can count on in American stories on this: the passive voice will
have a big, big day. Instead of the classic who-did-what-to-whom
sentence from Journalism 101, you'll see a thousand variations on
something-happened-to-some people.</p><p class=""> WaPO hedline: "Under banner of

{“Who is the Vassal? Israel, the US and Iran” by URI AVNERY, an Israeli
writer and peace activist with Gush Shalom. He is a contributor to
CounterPunch’s book The Politics of Anti-Semitism.}</p><p class=""> “If you want to understand the policy of a nation, look at the map!” Napoleon is supposed to have said.</p><p class=""> It is good advice.</p><p class="">
If you are living in Israel, these days, you get the impression that
the huge State of Israel is dictating to its American vassal what to do
about Iran. [HIGHER ANTI-SEMITISM]</p><p class=""> President Donald Trump listens
and complies. Bibi the Great tells him to tear up the Iranian deal for
no obvious reason, and he obeys. He has no choice, poor man.</p><p class=""> But
then you look at the map, and to your great surprise you discover that
the USA is a huge country, while Israel is a mere speck, so small that
its name has to be written outside its borders, in the sea.</p><p class=""> So
what is wrong? Geography, of course, is not the only factor. Israel has
some millions of faithful adherents, who are American citizens and have a
lot of money. But still.</p><p class=""> Can it be that we got the picture
wrong? That Trump is not the vassal of Netanyahu, that it’s the other
way round? That Trump dictates, and Bibi, for all his bluster, just
obeys?</p><p class=""> It would not be the first time. In ancient times, the
leaders of the Jewish commonwealth in Palestine tried very hard to
please the imperator in Rome. Nero, for example, the man who enjoyed
setting fire to his own city, and to the world, while playing the flute,
or whatever.</p><p class=""> Donald Trump is the present-day Nero, the imperator of the New Rome.</p><p class="">
Trump’s main object in life is to get out of the Iran deal, “the worst
deal ever”. Why? I have listened intently and have discerned no other
reason than that the deal was forged by his hated predecessor, Barack
Obama.</p><p class=""> What other reason was there for annulling the deal? I have
heard none. The deal stopped Iran from proceeding with the building of a
nuclear weapon. All experts, without exception (even in Israel) confirm
that Iran has scrupulously adhered to its commitment.</p><p class=""> Indeed,
the entire world outside the US (and Israel, of course) has now decided
to go on with the deal. Germany, France and Britain, three not quite
insignificant powers, believe that the deal has to be maintained. So do
Russia and China, no tiny countries, either.</p><p class=""> Except Israel. Ah, Israel.</p><p class="">
Most people in Israel now believe that Binyamin Netanyahu, Bibi the
Great, is really leading Trump on a leash. Bibi has such a magical hold
over Trump, that the American president has to follow Israel’s lead.</p><p class=""> Bibi is obsessed with Iran. He wakes up in the morning with Iran and goes to sleep with Iran.</p><p class=""> Nobody seems to ask: Why, for God’s sake?</p><p class="">
Going back to Napoleon’s map: there seems to be no clash of interests
between the countries of Iran and Israel. No common border. No
territories of one that the other desires. Also, no natural resources of
one that the other would like to get its hands on.</p><p class=""> Proof: not so
long ago, well within my lifetime, Iran was Israel’s closest ally
(except our American vassal, of course). Iran was governed by the Shah,
with his beautiful uniform and his beautiful wife (please indulge me for
once, dear feminists).</p><p class=""> Israel and Iran went to steal chickens
together, as we say. The Iranians helped us to infiltrate agents into
the Kurdish region of Iraq, in order to make trouble for the Iraqi
dictator, Saddam Hussein. Later, we supported Iran in its war against
Iraq, started by the same Hussein.</p><p class=""> In one of the greatest
scandals of its time, the so-called Iran-Contra affair, Israel
transferred American arms to Iran. (Iran paid for them, and the
Americans used the money to illegally finance the “Contra'” war against
the leftist government in Nicaragua. My friend Amiram Nir, a journalist
turned government security advisor, personally delivered the arms to
Tehran. (His US counterpart, Oliver North, has just been appointed to
head the powerful American Rifle Association.)</p><p class=""> Enough amusing anecdotes. There is no basic antagonism, dictated by geography, between our two nations. So what is it?</p><p class="">
Well, there is ideology. The present rulers of Iran are extreme Shia
Islamists. They want to become the overlords of the Arab Muslim world.
The Arabs hate Israel, mainly because of the Israeli occupation of
Palestine. So the Iranians pretend to be the great enemy of the “Little
Satan” (their rather insulting appellation of Israel, to distinguish it
from the Great Satan, the USA).</p><p class=""> Frankly, I think that the rulers
of Iran don’t give a damn about Israel, except as an useful instrument.
The hatred of Israel is a weapon in the battle with the Sunni Arab
world, led by the hyper-active Saudi Crown Prince.</p><p class=""> (The conflict between Sunni and Shia goes back almost to the times of the Prophet, more than 15 centuries ago.)</p><p class=""> ***</p><p class=""> So why is Bibi obsessed with Iran, to such an extent that he commands his American vassal to drive towards World War III?</p><p class=""> Depends how cynical you are.</p><p class="">
If you are very cynical, you might well say that both Trump and Bibi
are up to their respective necks in criminal investigations. With a bit
of luck, both might end up in prison.</p><p class=""> What better way to divert
the attention of their subjects than a little war? It is a precept that
has been tried out since the beginning of the world, and it almost never
fails. Who will worry about trifles like Trump’s porno stars or Bibi’s
gifts from (American) billionaires, when the lives of our boys are at
stake?</p><p class=""> The US is still far from war with Iran but we are not. Perhaps we are already in it, without believing it.</p><p class="">
These days – or should I say, these nights – our brave boys fly over
Syria and bomb Iranian army installations there. Until this minute, the
Iranians have not reacted, except for a feeble attempt that was quickly
answered by a massive Israeli air strike.</p><p class=""> Why are Iranians there
in the first place? It is a part of their objective to create an Iranian
sphere of influence extending from Iran proper to the Mediterranean
Sea. In Iraq, which has a large Shia population, they are already
dominant. With the help of Russia, they are now almost dominant in
Syria. In Lebanon their close allies, the Shia Hizbollah movement,
controls a large part of the country and has just won the elections.</p><p class=""> ***</p><p class="">
The US does not like this at all. True, Trump has decided to withdraw
from the Middle East (costs too much money), but he does not want the
void to be filled by Vladimir Putin. Not at all. So he sends his boys
back, and tells Israel to make the life of the Iranians in Syria hell.</p><p class="">
It is playing with fire (for us). Until now, the Iranians have limited
their reaction to our nightly bombing of their forces to the utterance
of dire threats and the ineffectual response this week. But for how much
longer?</p><p class=""> Iran is a wise country. Whatever the bluster of the
present regime, it does exercise a lot of restraint. It remembers that
quite recently (just about 2500 years ago) it was a world power. It can
wait. It does not satisfy Trump’s expectations. After all, how long does
the USA exist?</p><p class=""> So we bomb. So they react with threats. So Trump is happy.</p><p class=""> ***</p><p class=""> And the Israeli public?</p><p class=""> One may wonder: is there such a thing?</p><p class=""> Some local commentators are already asking: have Israeli citizens turned into mere subjects?</p><p class="">
Israel is obviously on the path to war. The nightly bombing of Iranian
forces is an insult to their national pride. In our region, national
pride plays a large role. Our army has told the population in the north
of the country to open the air-raid shelters and prepare them for use.
Large anti-aircraft forces have been moved to the Syrian frontier.</p><p class="">
And the Israelis? They shrug their shoulders. They know that Bibi is a
showman of genius. Just now he has held the country and the world in
thrall with a superb TV demonstration, in which he revealed a wealth of
information about Iran’s nuclear activities. The brave boys and girls of
the Mossad stole this trove in Teheran and brought it to Israel,
risking their lives.</p><p class=""> Wonderful. Except that it turned out that
this trove consists of obsolete documents from before the deal, which
show what everybody already knew: that Iran wanted to emulate Israel and
produce its own nuclear bomb. It was to prevent this that the nuclear
deal was initiated in the first place.</p><p class=""> But what showmanship! What
a stage set! What wonderful (American) English! What perfect
coordination with Trump’s decision to scuttle the deal!Can it be that
the entire showwas ordered by Trump?</p><p class=""> Some Israeli commentators
pointed all this out. But there is no real opposition to Bibi in the
Knesset, the popular press or on TV.</p><p class=""> The vast majority of the
people in Israel – and everywhere else – stand at attention when the
word “security” is mentioned. OK, Bibi may be a tiny bit corrupt, he may
have taken some bribes here and there, but he is our
commander-in-chief! He is sending our boys into battle! So hail to the
Chief!</p><p class=""> Hail Bibi!</p><p class=""> ===========================<br class=""> {“Israel Repurposes Old Nakba Myths to Justify the Massacre in Gaza” by JONATHAN COOK, in Nazareth}</p><p class="">
On Monday and Tuesday, Palestinians commemorate the anniversary of the
Nakba, or catastrophe, their mass expulsion and dispossession 70 years
ago as the new state of Israel was built on the ruins of their homeland.
As a result, most Palestinians were turned into refugees, denied by
Israel the right to return to their homes.</p><p class=""> Tens of thousands
turned out on Monday in the occupied territories to protest against
seven decades of Israel’s refusal to make amends or end its oppressive
rule.</p><p class=""> The move on Monday of the US embassy to Jerusalem, a city
under belligerent occupation, has only inflamed Palestinian grievances –
and a sense that the West is still conspiring in their dispossession.</p><p class="">
The focus of the protests is Gaza, where unarmed Palestinians have been
massing every Friday since late March at the perimeter fence that
encages two million of them. For their troubles, they have faced a hail
of live ammunition, rubber bullets and clouds of tear gas. Dozens had
been killed and many hundreds more maimed, including children.</p><p class="">
Early reports on Monday suggested that Gaza’s demonstrators were being
massacred by the Israeli army. Amnesty International called the events a
“horror show”.</p><p class=""> But for more than a month, Israel has been
working to manage western perceptions of the protests – and its response
– in ways designed to discredit the outpouring of anger from
Palestinians. In a message all too readily accepted by some western
audiences, Israel has presented the protests as a “security threat”.</p><p class="">
Israeli officials have even argued before the country’s high court that
the protesters lack any rights – that army snipers are entitled to
shoot them, even if facing no danger – because Israel is supposedly in a
“state of war” with Gaza, defending itself.</p><p class=""> On Sunday night the
Israeli air force dropped leaflets across Gaza warning Palestinians not
to go near fence. “The Israel Defense Forces is determined to defend
Israel’s citizens and sovereignty against Hamas’ attempts at terrorism
under cover of violent riots,” the leaflets said. “Don’t get near the
fence and don’t take part in Hamas’ show, which endangers you.”</p><p class="">
Many Americans and Europeans, worried about an influx of “economic
migrants” flooding into their own countries, readily sympathise with
Israel’s concerns – and its actions.</p><p class=""> Until now, the vast majority of Gaza’s protesters have been peaceful and made no attempt to break through the fence.</p><p class="">
But Israel claims that Hamas has exploited this week’s protests in Gaza
to encourage Palestinians to storm the fence. The implication is that
the protesters have been trying to cross a “border” and “enter” Israel
illegally.</p><p class=""> The truth is rather different. There is no border
because there is no Palestinian state. Israel has made sure of that.
Palestinians live under occupation, with Israel controlling every aspect
of their lives. In Gaza, even the air and sea are Israel’s domain.</p><p class="">
Meanwhile, the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their former
lands – now in Israel – is recognised in United Nations Resolutions.</p><p class="">
Nonetheless, Israel has been crafting a dishonest counter-narrative
ever since the Nakba, myths that historians scouring the archives have
slowly exploded.</p><p class=""> One claim – that Arab leaders told the 750,000
Palestinian refugees to flee in 1948 – was in fact invented by Israel’s
founding father, David Ben Gurion. He hoped it would deflect US pressure
on Israel to honour its obligations to allow the refugees back.</p><p class="">
Even had the refugees chosen to leave during the heat of battle, rather
than wait to be expelled, it would not have justified denying them a
right to return when the fighting finished. It was that refusal that
transformed flight into ethnic cleansing.</p><p class=""> In another myth unsupported by the records, Ben Gurion is said to have appealed to the refugees to come back.</p><p class="">
In truth, Israel defined Palestinians who tried to return to their
lands as “infiltrators”. That entitled Israeli security officials to
shoot them on sight – in what was effectively execution as a deterrence
policy.</p><p class=""> Nothing much has changed seven decades on. A majority of
Gaza’s population today are descended from refugees driven into the
enclave in 1948. They have been penned up like cattle ever since. That
is why the Palestinians’ current protests take place under the banner of
the March of Return.</p><p class=""> For decades, Israel has not only denied
Palestinians the prospect of a minimal state. It has carved the
Palestinian territories into a series of ghettos – and in the case of
Gaza, blockaded it for 12 years, choking it into a humanitarian
catastrophe.</p><p class=""> Despite this, Israel wants the world to view Gaza as
an embryonic Palestinian state, supposedly liberated from occupation in
2005 when it pulled out several thousand Jewish settlers.</p><p class=""> Again,
this narrative has been crafted only to deceive. Hamas has never been
allowed to rule Gaza, any more than Mahmoud Abbas’s Palestinian
Authority governs the West Bank.</p><p class=""> But echoing the events of the
Nakba, Israel has cast the protesters as “infiltrators”, a narrative
that has left most observers strangely indifferent to the fate of
Palestinian youth demonstrating for their freedom.</p><p class=""> Once again,
the executions of recent weeks, supposedly carried out by the Israeli
army in self-defence, are intended to dissuade Palestinians from
demanding their rights.</p><p class=""> Israel is not defending its borders but
the walls of cages it has built to safeguard the continuing theft of
Palestinian land and preserve Jewish privilege.</p><p class=""> In the West Bank,
the prison contracts by the day as Jewish settlers and the Israeli army
steal more land. In Gaza’s case, the prison cannot be shrunk any
smaller.</p><p class=""> For many years, world heads of state have castigated
Palestinians for using violence and lambasted Hamas for firing rockets
out of Gaza.</p><p class=""> But now that young Palestinians prefer to take up
mass civil disobedience, their plight is barely attracting attention,
let alone sympathy. Instead, they are criticised for “breaching the
border” and threatening Israel’s security.</p><p class=""> The only legitimate
struggle for Palestinians, it seems, is keeping quiet, allowing their
lands to be plundered and their children to be starved.</p><p class=""> Western
leaders and the public betrayed the Palestinians in 1948. There is no
sign, 70 years on, that the West is about to change its ways. </p><p class=""> ===============================<br class="">
