And Now They Blame Ferguson On The Jews
This is one of those rare occasions when The Mike Report is speechless. These photos were taken in downtown Seattle earlier this evening in the wake of the Ferguson grand jury verdict. Upset with the verdict in Missouri? Then boycotting Israel makes perfect sense.
The banner was carried by members of the Palestine Solidarity Committee. The same group was associated with protests this Summer in downtown Seattle which featured swastikas and comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany.

Yes–it’s the “Zionists”—don’t blame the Jews. Most Zionists are Jews, but not all Jews are Zionists. http://www.nightlycitizen.com/2014/11/evidence-government-used-splc-and-kkk.html
Pretending that you are not a Jew-hating liar – or the dupe of them! – will not hide the fact that you are a Jew-hating liar, or the dupe of them.
lol Kick the Zionists out of the country everybody– IT’S THE ZIONISTS!!!!
No Di**wad, it’s the Jooooooooos!
No profanity or childish insults please, Mr. Mr. Barchichat – you can do better.

What a joke- another legit Human Rights Issue jacked by Western White Lefties for their own Agenda, who don’t know jack about the Levant, Levantine and MENA Region History, and sure as sh-t don’t speak the languages or know the cultures. This is more puke propaganda for well fed lefties, and their Arab Handlers to “feel like they are alive” about. What twits. Ferguson, MO and the Arab Palestinian issues haven’t a darn thing in common, except fools who like to riot and destroy things that grass-roots folks need to live and feed their kids. Gotta love Ideologues, nothing is too far fetched that they cannot tailor make some “Cause” circumstance to fit their Agenda.
I’m against racist cops too and I’m even a leftie but REAL liberal lefties support Israel!!!

Last comment for you, since you are now spreading antisemitic nonsense, but you said, “Jews are not Semites,” a typical remark from a bigot.
Thank you for exposing yourself as not just an antisemite, but a racist as well. Good job!
Ashkenazis are not the descendants of the Ancient Israelites, Jews are not Semites.
An ignorant statement. It’s also a fall back theme for antisemites.
Anyone who wants to be educated, including the commenter, should read Mizrahi Nation by Matti Friedman.
http://mosaicmagazine.com/essay/2014/06/mizrahi-nation/
Jews are not Semites.
Repeating your particularly brainless lies will not make them true. Even if your racist theories had to be correct in order for Jews to be Jews, you are still wrong. Practically all Jews are Semites, very few Jews are converts or the descendents thereof.
many christians are converts-including me!
Unfortunately, you can’t fix STUPID!
These marchers are pure anti-Semites and should be rounded up, taken to community classes to learn how to face the truth and not be blinded to “fantastic” propaganda engineered by the terrorists.
Jews are absolutely responsible for what has happened in Ferguson. The jews who control the media have done everything possible to agitate blacks against whites for decades. If the jew media stopped constantly lying about white people blacks would not hate us so much. The only crime committed in the Mike Brown case was committed by Mike Brown. Media jews know this is true but have constantly lied to blacks about this case while ignoring the vastly more common black on white crime. The only logical explanation for these jews behavior is that they hope to stir blacks up so they will kill more whites.
With jews whites lose. This is a fact.
Two words: “transfer agreement”. Two more: “apartheid wall”. Google them.
Not all Zionists are Jews (indeed, there more Zionist Evangelical Christians in amerikkka than there are Jews in amerikkka), but all Zionists are FASCISTS (and liars).
Radical Islam is the real threat to this country. You can demonize Israel all you want but when radical Islam and ISIS takeover, sane people in the middle east will be looking towards Israel to defend them.
I am a Zionist and far from a fascist or a liar. You, however, sound like a bigot.
“When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism!” —Martin Luther King, Jr.
http://www.martinkramer.org/sandbox/2012/03/in-the-words-of-martin-luther-king/
I suggest you heed his words.
Two words: No Jews in Palestine. Two more: security wall – built to stop terrorists from entering Israel and blowing up Israelis (which include Arabs as well as Jews BTW).
Well, Wake Up, God Dammit – you sound like a bona fide FASCIST to me. And an anti-semitic bigot to boot. And you’re either very stupid because you believe in the crap you’re spouting or you’re a liar because you want to incite to hatred. Which is it?
Good god -james scott – for a moment, I thought your post was satire or a rather puny parody. But then I realized you’re serious. I thought this sort of mindless jew-hatred belonged to the Dark Ages, Middle Ages, Nazis, Hamas and other terror groups. Just makes me even more grateful Israel exists.
BTW, although I doubt that the Jewish contribution to civil rights for blacks has failed to penetrate what passes for your mind, you should re-read your post and maybe get an inkling of what utter rubbish you’re spouting. It doesn’t have any logic even in your world of the crazy.
What about being against the terrorist actions of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, et al?
Or the US and UK… or just terrorist acts in general. The real issue is how you define “terrorism.” “Terrorism” is any violent behavior someone doesn’t like. When someone flies a plane into a US building, it’s terrorism. When the US slaughters Iraqi children, it’s defending freedom. When Israel blows up neighborhoods in Palestine killing untold numbers of children it’s self-defense, but when Hamas counter attacks it’s terrorism. “Terrorism” is a stupid word. Killing innocent people for political reason is wrong. That’s what Israel does. Striking back against an occupying force is self-defense. That’s what Hamas does.
Terror is the random murder of innocent people!
Terrorists strap bombs to their bodies, go to a place where there many people congregate and blow themselves up.
Terrorists drive their cars and tractors into innocent bystanders and then try to stab the survivors to death.
Terrorists take axes and knives into synagogues and massacre Jews at prayer.
Terrorists launch rockets and missiles at towns and villages and then dance for joy and hand out sweets when their projectiles kill.
Israel does not blow up neighborhoods in Palestine. Your reading of the situation is skewed. You are manipulated by Arab propaganda and biased media.
Before attacking a building from which rockets and missiles were being launched in Gaza, Israel phoned (yes, phoned) the inhabitants, dropped leaflets and used other means to give civilians the chance to leave. Of course, it also gave Hamas terrorists the chance to run away, too, but not before they’d order, at gunpoint, the men, women and children back into the buildings.
And here’s something you don’t know. Israel aborted attacks when they thought people were still in the buildings. Sometimes it was too late and the building was blown up. What a wonderful propaganda victory for Hamas.
And here’s something you don’t know. 15 seconds. That’s all you have to run to a shelter when a rocket or missile has been launched in the direction of your village or town. You stop whatever you’re doing, washing the dishes, eating, playing with the children, sleeping and race to the shelter to save your life. And if you’re outside and more than a 15-sec dash from the shelter, you lie down on the ground and cover your child with your body. That’s terrorism.
And here’s something you don’t know. Supplies from Israel into Gaza never stopped throughout the recent war but they didn’t always reach the people. Why? Because Hamas fired rockets at the trucks. That’s terrorism.
And here’s something you don’t know. Israel set up a field hospital for Gazan civilians during the war. Gazans, including relatives of Haniye, continued to cross into Israel for medical treatment in Israeli hospitals. Do you know how many Syrians have received life-saving treatment in Israeli hospitals? Probably not, that would confuse you with fact.
You confuse cause and effect. Israel/Jews have suffered a century of Arab terrorism (fedayeen, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic jihad and so on). The world ignores it until finally Israel responds. And then you all cry crocodile tears.
Amen. The dead giveaway is when they start equating being anti-Israeli terrorism with being anti-Jew/anti-Semitic. Being against the terrorist actions of the Israeli nation has NOTHING to do with being anti-Semitic.
Two words: “stop lying”.
This sets our society back hundreds of years, and these are the true Americans I am sorry for: http://imgur.com/gallery/N2desSW & http://imgur.com/gallery/eXaWAMN
Israel treats Palestinians like how blacks were treated under apartheid. Whites in Ferguson are treated like animals, under tight control of whites who believe in racial separation, or racial stratification.
Thought of responding to Cal with a reasoned, honest description of how all citizens of Israel are equal under the law. Decided there’s no point. Thought of pointing out how Palestinians in the WB call Jews descendants of pigs and apes and how they teach their children to hate Jews and to glorify death. But then I thought, oh hell, what’s the point.
Crap!
title is misleading. likely deliberately. criticism of isreal is not a crticism of judaism. understand? the connection being contrived is that it constitutes ‘anti-semitic’ views. it does not. period.
This is part and parcel of the pro-Palestinian crowd to lump it all together and build a coalition. CAIR has also issued a statement criticizing the grand jury decision and thus, jumping into the fray. It’s called, “Let’s all get together against the US and Israel”
I guess we need to boycott our own products in the US? As we celebrate “thanksgiving” on the “occupied” land of the Native Americans. This analogy is a joke.
What a joke…no one’s blaming Jews. Israel doesn’t represent Jews worldwide. It certainly doesn’t represent me as one. Israel suppresses their minority population and brutally oppresses those beyond the Wall. Even the Ferguson police were trained by Israelis! C’mon!
Don’t appreciate your tarring “them” in Ferguson with being anti-semitic (“now THEY blame Ferguson on the Jews”). Some people make parallels with police/army tactics elsewhere but your piece offers no evidence of anti-semitism or of blaming police actions in Fergoson on the Jewish people.
wow,in my opinion its look likes Solo City in Indonesia at 1998..terible
Racism , a pathway to “Sharia”, or Islamic law ………
Muslim scholars say that secular government is the best way to observe sharia………….
Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and abilities resulting in the inherent superiority, or inferiority of a particular racial group.
Xenophobia is generally defined as the fear of anything considered strange or foreign. Discrimination involves treating or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of, or against, a group of people based on race, class or creed……..
./.. The Ferguson riots are a jihad against America organized by Muslims. and it foreshadows that major jihad is coming to America…….
The Muslims are using the rioters, and of course race, as an instrument for jihad, and Obama is as well playing a major role in this. The entire movement is a conspiracy to weaken the American police force to further enable jihad in America. ..

Well of course it’s Israel’s fault – I mean let’s face it……… its the fault of Israel, Aboriginal Australians, the Industrial Revolution, Global Warming, the American and English Civil Wars, the French Revolution, proctology, the Ebola outbreak in fact its everyone and everything’s fault other than the thuggish behaviour of an 18 year old adult who was appropriately and legally dealt with by the Police, now apparently hailed as a mere Angelic innocent and of course the hooligan element whether local or outsiders who have no values other than a desire to cause harm. And of course we totally forgive the cries of the Brown family who vehemently demanded, “burn the mother f–ker down,” and naturally we forgive this as nothing more than an emotional outburst that no-one in their right mind would take any notice of, (are you shitting me)………………….of course it’s Israel’s fault, it can’t possibly be the fault of people who shit on their own doorstep and then blame their own mindlessness on the behaviour of others.
From a Palestinian perspective, it makes perfect sense: every cause in the world can be confiscated to their benefit. They don’t give a rat’s ass about Michael Brown or the situation of African-Americans or any other population suffering far more than they do. All that matters is for them to steal a cause, turn it around and tell the world that it’s their cause, too! All this while close to 200,000 people have been slaughtered in Syria alone, not to mention thousands more in Iraq and so many other places. Do those matter? Not a chance. The Palestinians have hijacked the media, and there is no room for anyone else. Sorry.
Pingback: Anger in Ferguson Co-Opted by Pro-Palestinians- Israel News
Just shared to my LI and Twitter. BTW, I am not ruling out that Obama’s administration encourages that.
This is another example of incitement, activism and public displays in a time of civil unrest. The president spoke of reflection and the need to reduce tensions. However, at every opportunity and among a very angry vengeful population, volatile and destructive, they seek those who want to assault and attack. The foreign policy that asks for compromise and land is a smokescreen for an anti-Jew agenda around the world. Ferguson is not some other country, or someone else’s problem, these are anti-Israel and anti Jewish protests and attacks in the U.S. it is everyone’s problematic situation that warrants concern and preventative measures.
1) You are telling us that you are ignorant.
That you don’t understand that Hamas is a terror organization that took over a territory that Israel removed all its settlers from a decade ago and with good will turned over to the Palestinians, and that in return the Palestinians in Gaza elected Hamas, a terror organization, to rule them, and that Hamas has been lopping bombs at Israeli civilians trying to kill them ever since.
2) You are telling us you don’t really care about Palestinans or their children.
“Because by supporting Hamas, you are supporting the use of Palestinians as human shields, the use of Palestinian children to dig terror tunnels in which 160 have died, and the summary execution of Palestinians by Hamas thugs whenever they open their mouths to protest the use of their homes, school, mosques, or hospitals as weapons caches and missile launching sites.

Krista, you are entitled to your feelings, but when you come into a political discussion and dismiss all of the facts presented because you don’t like the way they “feel”, then you automatically lose the argument.
Krista – if you care for the people of Gaza as you claim, then don’t side with the Jew-haters. You cannot help Gazans by blaming Israel because Israel is not the problem. The problem lies with a violent, cruel regime that includes the so-called moderates of Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah (PA president in his 10th year of a 4-year presidency), Hamas, Islamic Jihad and all the other terrorist organizations. They have no scruples. They have brainwashed their population to glorify death. Read their national charters – both Fatah and Hamas promote genocide of the Jewish people. Is that what you support?
BTW, Hamas is not interested in creating a Palestinian state – they talk openly of creating a caliphate in Palestine. Do you honestly think conditions would improve for the Gazans if they were to succeed in annihilating the Jews?
Have a look at Gaza in the 1980s, when Israel occupied it. Jewish Israelis lived there, as indeed they had since 1934 and from where they had been thrown out in 1948 by the Egyptians who occupied it until 1967. The Jews built up flourishing horticultural businesses, green houses which were handed over to the Gazans in 2005 so they could turn Gaza into Singapore in the ME. Give yourself a project – find out what happened to those green houses.
You write: Maybe I’m not always right. But that doesn’t make me fear my own opinions. I don’t really understand what you mean. If you have an opinion that’s based on a falsehood, shouldn’t your sense of honesty, your personal integrity demand that you base your opinions on truth.
Pingback: The Lie Being Told about Ferguson and Israel | Morning Meditations
The Zionism in here is out of control. It’s clear now why everyone is so confused by the parallels being drawn by the protesters.
When Hamas is reigning down 10,000 rockets on your children and your home, and you spend all day in the bomb shelter, then you talk to me about Israel and the poor palestinians. Comparing civil rights in america to real palestinian terrorism, is wrong. Israel has offered peace for 66 years, and only has been met with horrific acts you cannot dream of in your worst nightmares. Jews have taken it on the chin time and time again. It is so backwards to compare Mike Brown to palestinians. The blacks and the Jews are the ones who are oppressed. Not the blacks and the arabs. The arabs run the world’s oil and control entire middle east. These protesters in Seattle sadden me so greatly and disrespect Mike Brown and MLK.

Pingback: And Now They Blame Ferguson On The Jews | dokumentationsarchiv
um, Hamas created the police state in Gaza, not Israel. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
Exactly before the Jews gave them Gaza they built millions of dollars of green houses so the Palestine could produce food s. Hamas had all the green house destroyed .
They are not trying to blame Jews in this. They’re just trying to draw a comparison to occupation in Israel to their feeling that there is a police state and some sort of occupation here. Thats all. Those people are clearly not from Ferguson.
You people should be ashamed of yourselves. The majority of Israel may be Jewish, but claiming that ALL people from Israel are Jewish is f**king crazy. What most of you must not understand here is that when you support Israel by consuming their products you are funding the people who are murdering the men, women, and children of Palestine. If you continue to support this you are just as terrible as the policeman who shot Brown in cold blood. The fact of the matter is people are being oppressed everywhere in the world you must be seriously undereducated to think that America is any better than those nations going through this hardship today. Just because women here can vote and drive cars does not mean they’re not oppressed. People of color may no longer be living as slaves but they are still being gunned down simply because of their skin color. It isn’t any different here in big, fat America. Why don’t you all wake the f**k up and read some credible news sources about this situation instead of getting all your facts from the idiots at Reddit or your dumb ass friends on Facebook.
Regards.
**Moderator: Facts and thoughtful disagreement are welcome, less name calling please.***
Oh for heaven’s sake. It’s the “Palestinians” who are driving their vehicles into babies in their strollers, who are walking into synagogues and murdering men at prayer, who are firing their rockets at civilians populations, and then hiding behind their own civilians so that Israel gets blamed when Arabs get killed. You are either a fool who has been duped by “Palestinian” propaganda or a willing accomplice to the biggest blood libel in history. Shame on you.
**Moderator: Facts and thoughtful disagreement are welcome, less name calling please.***
I understand that this is Wikipedia but they include tons of outside sources where you can read more information about human shields. Notice how it mentions more about Israelis using human shields and not Palestinians. Please, educate yourself.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_shield
“In an 2014 interview, a Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal acknowledged to a CNN interviewer that the group didn’t use its people as human shields. Likewise, in a September 2014 interview, a Hamas official insisted that the Israeli army’s accusations that Hamas launched its attacks from civilian buildings such as schools and hospitals were not true, adding that attacks actually came 200 to 300 meters away from those buildings.”
Hamas MP Fathi Hammad acknowledging the use of human shields. http://youtu.be/g0wJXf2nt4Y?t=8s
You’re the one who needs an education. There is video of Hamas using children as human shields.
Oh well, if Hamas said that, it must be true! Now, Israel says that Hamas uses children and adult civilians as human shields, that there was a very high percentage of young men among those killed in the war and that rockets were fired on Israeli civilians from schools, homes and mosques. So Krista – why do you believe Hamas and not Israel? And India (whose reportage supported Israel). And some honest outlets in the US, Australia, Canada, etc. etc. Just asking.
The comment ‘please educate yourself’ sounds hollow coming from someone who has taken up cudgels on behalf of a terrorist organization against a democracy fighting for its existence.
You use Wikipedia as your source and you tell ME to educate myself? Seriously? Grow up, Krista.
This one shows you are wrong. Look at this cartoon:

Krista, you may have graduated from a few schools but your education is very narrow indeed and I believe you have come to this event with prior hatred for Israel (and the Jews.) You also sound as if you hate America (“big, fat America”). I suggest you move elsewhere and see how much you like it. Find the freedom you so easily use now to say what you wish in the country or amongst those you so readily defend against the strongest ally the US has in the Middle East. You are an enemy of this country by condemning Israel. Just my not-so-humble-educated opinion. If you are wondering, I am a Caucasian woman, a centrist, and I know that many American women have been oppressed and most have been sexually abused as well. But, we’re not enslaved or forced to cover ourselves or forbidden to use the internet.
OH OKAY. Well, as long as a Hamas leader said they don’t use human shield, and as long as we’re referring to CNN, that extremely reliable and bipartisan news source, then you’re right! They must not use human shield! Thank you SO MUCH for enlightening me. Now I’m anti-Israel and pro-Palestine.
Maybe you should eductate YOURSELF.
This reply might a little overly full of anger, but I get the point behind it. I also get the point behind the signs referenced in the original post. It’s only a head scratcher if you don’t get the idea of piggybacking protests or you’re willfully blind to the situation in the Middle East. No one is blaming the Jews for Ferguson. It’s asinine to setup that strawman. What they are saying is that oppression is oppression, be it in Ferguson or Palestine. The message is actually: “Hey, if you’re pissed about what’s going on in Ferguson, you should be pissed about what’s going on in Palestine too.” It’s a perfectly reasonable connection and method of recruiting people to their cause.
Every time a parent spanks a child for extremely bad behavior, maybe the anti-Israeli protesters should come out and picket. It’s very much anti-Jewish and piggybacking onto Ferguson builds false equivalencies. Not only that, in both cases, the attacker takes a beating and then their specter is raised as, “victim” by people who know very little about the situation.
Hmm, whiteboardpig person: survey of Israeli Arabs today, 77% prefer to live in Israel. Kinda odd, don’t you think, seeing as how oppressed they are. Perhaps it’s got to do with the fact that Israeli Arabs are active in every sphere of the professions, such as justice, for example, where an Israeli Arab was one of three judges who passed sentence on a former president of Israel, or medicine, where many Israeli Arab doctors are heads of departments in Israeli hospitals, or academia, where Israeli Arabs have academic freedom. That’s men and women, in case you were wondering. But of course you weren’t – for you, Israel is oppressive. But all that means is, you’ve never been there, you’ve been brainwashed by the Israel-bashers and haters and you repeat like the robot you are all the lies and distortions Israel’s enemies disseminate. That’s how they get useful idiots like these marchers to do what they do and think they’re doing something noble.
I only look at the facts and history. Arabs living in Israel has NOTHING to do with how Israel has treated the Palestinians. This “anti-Israel movement” people commenting here seem to think is so influential doesn’t exist in my world. The US population absolutely and unconditionally pro-Israel. Only a select minority that own history books know enough to question the pervasive support for anything Israel does.
Self defense against terrorism isn’t murder. You should be ashamed for referring to it as such. And Israel is very much a Jewish country. Brown wasn’t shot in cold blood. He assaulted an officer, and according to the witnesses, charged at the officer again. The kid was a thug. He had just previously assaulted someone at a convenience store as well. You should find a different poster child for police brutality, Brown was a thug. Regardless of Brown’s skin color, he attacked a cop. Maybe THAT is a fact you should get straight instead of attempting to victimize him, as well as victimizing the terrorists who attack Israel.
Sadly you another who care not to know the fats .As one who live here in Ferguson area .There were many black witnesses who said Michael Brown attack the officier and try to take his gun .Michael Brown was a very much larger man then the policemen.Yes man he was not kid . Michael Brown black or white doing the same thing would result in the same police action . Hope Michael knew this http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1103/1103_01.asp
One of my best friends is Palestinian and she has lived there overseas for at least a decade. She is outraged by the immense support people are giving Israel when her friends in Palestine recount to her the terror they ensue every day. But I know I am not biased when she tells me everything she hears from her friends because if genocide was happening to anyone at any given time, I would still be upset.
<>
I am not worried about Hamas killing my children. In fact, I’m one million times more worried about Netanyahu for the simple fact that Netanyahu has killed 100x more children than Hamas. Don’t believe me? There are plenty of statistics out there. Here’s a source stating just how many unarmed women, men, and children have been slaughtered http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/world/gaza-counter/
It is completely ignorant of you to lump all of these protestors into one category: extremists. Yes, there are extremists protesting about Palestine and who support blood libel, just as you have Christian extremists, and extreme feminists. There will always be a more extreme view on something. But that doesn’t mean that every person fighting for a cause will have such negative or extreme views. My friend compares Palestine to Ferguson for the simple fact that oppression is happening in both parts of the world, and it will continue to happen unless we educate ourselves and the people around us about what is really going on here. Perhaps these images will help you better understand http://thrivalroom.com/understand-israeli-palestinian-apartheid-11-graphics/
Also, this whole thing about not comparing the genocide in Gaza to the Holocaust is crap. Plenty of Jewish people and Holocaust survivors support the boycott of Israel, too. Here’s another source for that http://www.bdsmovement.net/2014/holocaust-survivors-condemn-israel-for-gaza-massacre-call-for-boycott-12579
And if you want to talk about propaganda, that is exactly what is happening in the US today. Information is cut out of our media and we only see out-of-context information that supports Israel. Source http://globalvoicesonline.org/2014/08/04/israel-gaza-war-data-the-art-of-personalizing-propaganda/
For some reason one thing did not show up in my last comment. Flankton, please explain to me why Israel is not considered a state by the UN. The US is one of very few who does. What does this mean? This obviously has an effect on why our information about this whole situation is sided with Israel.
Krista – what are you talking about? Israel is a sovereign state and a member of the UN. Of course, other UN members, mainly the 52-Arab state bloc, use their membership to vilify Israel instead of focusing on improving conditions for their people in their own states, but that’s not Israel’s fault (well, of course it is, because some people like to blame Israel for pretty much everything.).
I can only breathe again if what you say is true that you are getting the truth and as a result, most people side with Israel. It really doesn’t appear to me that most people side with Israel but it is a relief to discover that is not the case. And why should it not be when we are fighting the same enemy?
Just for the record, the Arabs have been offered a Palestinian state numerous times and each time the response is violence. 1937 – Peel commission, the Jews accepted, the Arabs rioted. 1947 – UNGA partition plan – the Jews accepted, the Arabs called for a genocidal war against the Jews. 1967 – following a victorious defense against attacks by Egypt, Jordan and Syria, Israel offered to return territories for peace (as required in UNSC resolution 242); the Arab response: No recognition; no negotiations; no peace. 2000 – Camp David, Ehud Barak’s offer to give the Palestinians 92% of the West Bank and 5% of the Israeli Negev – the Arab response, intifada (suicide bombers blowing up in restaurants, buses, malls, stabbings in the streets of Israel – it went on for almost four years, every day, sometimes twice a day). 2008 – Ehud Olmert’s offer of 97% of the West Bank including east Jerusalem – Arab silence!
So I’m a little skeptical when I hear about oppressed Palestinians. The only people oppressing them are their own leaders, the ones getting rich on money the West showers them with. Wouldn’t you reckon that if they want a state so much, they would have accepted one of those options over the years? Wouldn’t you reckon that a Palestinian leader who cares about creating a state for his people and not just destroying the Jewish state would say to himself, hmm, if I don’t accept a peace offer from these Israelis soon, there’ll be more settlements going up and I’ll get less land.
Sorry I didn’t do all of my research.
“The only people oppressing them are their own leaders, the ones getting rich on money the West showers them with. Wouldn’t you reckon that if they want a state so much, they would have accepted one of those options over the years?” Right, so you’re telling me that we can just walk on up to our leaders and ask them to listen to us? This is not true for any part of the world. The leaders of most nations have their own interests in mind, not the interests of their people. Wouldn’t you reckon that if someone took all of your land and only offered you 10%, 20%, 90%, 99% you would reject because the whole of the land should be rightfully yours like it was before? People lived together in peace once. Back before people tried claiming land that was already claimed.
Also, Palestinian and Arab are not words you can use interchangeably.
Look I’ll admit that maybe I don’t know all of my facts. All I know is that I support the people of Gaza and nothing will change the way I feel about this. I tried to do my research and what I’ve found will support my views. Maybe I’m not always right. But that doesn’t make me fear my own opinions.
Krista Handel:
Late to the game here, but I suggest that you if you are truly pro-Palestinian people, as many who support Israel are, you check this link and watch the 20 minute video of Ron Prosor at the UN yesterday.
http://www.jewishnews.co.uk/prosor-un-truth-will-turned-head-morality-cast-aside/
I don’t understand what you mean by ” …the whole of the land should be rightfully yours like it was before?” What before? When before? There was never a sovereign state called Palestine in all of history. For 400 years, the area referred to as Palestine was a province of the Ottoman Empire and was run from Ottoman seat of government in Damascus.
Before 1948, anti-semites told Jews to go back to Palestine; when referring to Palestinians prior to and during British-mandated Palestine, they meant Jews.
From the 1880s, when the Zionists began building and cultivating the land, Arabs came from all over Arabia to take advantage of improved health conditions and health opportunities. You can tell from their names that they’re not native to the land: al-Masri come from Egypt (like Arafat). 30,000 Syrians entered Palestine in the late 1930s. Did you know that a Palestinian refugee as defined by UNRWA is an Arab who was in Palestine between the years 1946-1948. Two years. That’s all it took to become a Palestinian refugee.
In 1840 (yes 1840, that is late 19th century – read Mark Twain), in Jerusalem (what is now called east Jerusalem), the majority of the population was Jewish, whose numbers exceeded those of the Muslims and Christians combined. In 1948/49, Jews living in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and what is now called east Jerusalem, were massacred or exiled. Why is that never mentioned? Between 1948 and 1967, the West Bank was occupied by Jordan and the people of this land were Jordanians with Jordanian passports until the late 1980s when King Hussein decided to rescind their Jordanian citizenship.
I have to assume that for someone like you who makes the statement that “…. land… like it was before,” is totally ignorant of history. All the facts and dates I have mentioned can be verified (and I don’t mean the history as it has been rewritten by Israel’s enemies so that ignorant people can make facile and inaccurate statements).
Extremely well said! Oh, that annoying truth. It always has a habit of messing up even the most carefully crafted “agenda” of the Left.
This isn’t so much the so-called ‘left’ – it’s extremely successful propaganda by the Arabs. They’ve manage to create a perception that one day a nasty country called Israel woke up and said, hey let’s invade Palestine. As Goebbels understood, the bigger the lie, the easier it is for people to believe it.
Well, I’m sorry I don’t have the history quite down yet but none of what you just said justifies the fact that the Israel army has killed so many innocent people.
If, as you claim, you care for the Gazans, then stop blaming Israel and turn your attention to helping them extricate themselves from a murderous and cruel regime. Read the Hamas charter. For that matter, read the Fatah charter – the so-called moderates. Both charters promote the annihilation of the Jews. Genocide of the Jews. Is that what you support? BTW, Hamas wants to turn Palestine – minus Jews, of course – into a caliphate. It’s not interested in a state. Neither, as I have mentioned before, is Abbas.
If you truly care for the Gazans, especially the children, do something to reverse their brainwashing, where death is glorified (it’s a death cult in all but name).
The Jews lived in Gaza until they were thrown out in 1948 by the Egyptians. In 2005, in an attempt to broker peace, Israel unilaterally left Gaza, leaving flourishing green houses and horticultural ventures for the Gazan people in the hope of Gaza becoming a Singapore of the ME. Give yourself a project – find out what happened to those green houses.
I know, I know – not enough Jews got killed! Israel’s Iron Dome prevented the deaths of hundreds of Israelis – if Hamas cared as much about the Gazans as you appear to , don’t you think they would have; 1. not fired their rockets and missiles from homes, schools and hospitals. and 2. allowed the Gazans to take shelter in the tunnels they so assiduously dug? Give yourself another project and find out why.
While you’re about it, take a listen to the British Colonel Richard Kemp, who says that never in the history of warfare has any country take such care to avoid civilian casualties in the enemy’s camp as Israel. Some American general came out with pretty much the same thing a few weeks ago. Certainly Israel takes more care to prevent civilian deaths than the Americans who blow up untold numbers of innocents in Afghanistan and land that is now occupied by IS.
You wrote: “Maybe I’m not always right. But that doesn’t make me fear my own opinions.” I have no idea what that means. Do you not base your opinions on what you know? And when you realize that what you think you know is false, doesn’t your sense of honesty, your personal integrity demand that you base your opinions on truth?
And one more thing – what, if anything in your mind, justifies the fact that the Arabs, Palestinians and others, have killed so many Israeli innocent people? The 21 teenagers blown up by a suicide bomber as they waited in line at a disco in Tel Aviv in 2000. The men, women and children who were eating pizza, travelling on a bus, shopping in a mall who were blown up with bombs that spewed nails soaked in rat poison. Over 1000 Israelis were murdered by Palestinian terrorists between the years 2000 to 2004 – children, babies, men and women going about their day. Are their deaths not painful to you? What about the ones who didn’t die but are scarred mentally and physically until the end of their days? What about the hundreds of innocent Israelis murdered before 2000? Did you not hear of the 4-year girl whose head was smashed against the rocks before the Palestinian bastards murdered her horrified father? Baby Shalhevet Pass was only 10 months old when a Palestinian sniper shot a bullet into her forehead – deliberately. Imagine – he lined up the sights of his rifle and squeezed the trigger to shatter the brain of a baby.
When the Arabs sue for peace, they will find willing partners in Israel. Until then, Israel will defend itself. As Golda Meir (former Prime Minister of Israel) once famously said: There will be peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate ours.
Krista, don’t worry. The basic idea that you’ve put forth is accurate. This comments section is the most freighteningly Zionist group of people I’ve ever stumbled across. The only propoganda is the propoganda on the pro-Israel side. The US population and media are unequivocally pro-Israel. The FACTS and historical evidence paint a much different story. Israel is one of the world’s premier terrorists states. This is a good read and will give you a better timeline and some FACTS (which you can verify yourself) for use when debating in the future: http://www.democracynow.org/2014/8/7/a_hideous_atrocity_noam_chomsky_on
You use the term ‘Zionism’ as a curse, on a par with IS or terrorist. FYI, Zionism is the movement that supports a national home for the Jews. Over the milennia, the Jews probably wouldn’t have sought a national home if anti-semitism hadn’t been rife. You are a prime example of that anti-semitism, which has now morphed into anti-Israel, or anti-Zionisim.
Interesting that you do not dispute even one fact – and I gave many, complete with dates and context. All you do is offer a blanket statement that your facts – whatever they might be – contradict them. Do you dispute the Arab massacre of Jews in Hebron in 1929, for example, way before Israel was a state and during the period of the British Mandate. Jews had lived in Hebron since the days of the 2nd Temple (in Jerusalem, in case you’re in any doubt). After the massacre, in which some 60 Jews were murdered, the Jews were expelled from Hebron, to return only after the 6-day war. Historical fact!
I hardly find the media pro-Israel. CNN referred to the synagogue in Jerusalem where two Palestinian terrorists armed with axes murdered four men at prayer and wounded others as a mosque. The media go to great pains to portray Palestinian anguish but refrain from any graphic presentation of Jewish pain and tears.
And as for your last sentence that Israel is one of the world’s premier terrorists (sic) states – you left out the word ‘victims’ because Israel has seen more sustained terrorism against its people than any country in the world.
This is not propaganda. This is fact. Go check.
Thank you for your educated answer. I appreciate it when someone like you can reply with the facts to someone who has been told lies.
“Right, so you’re telling me that we can just walk on up to our leaders and ask them to listen to us? This is not true for any part of the world.”
The leaders – Abbas et al – keep claiming they want a Palestinian state. They do everything in their power to prevent one from forming.
Exactly, those are the leaders. Not the people.
Your Palestinian friend is a manipulative liar. Ever heard of taqiyya?
Krista, This is disgusting nazi propaganda. Comparing the civil rights struggle to the palestinians is disgusting propaganda. I find it interesting that the people who are against Israel, are all the people who have never been there. WHen you children are being bombed by HAMAS, you tell me if you want Netanyahu to bomb them back, or just sit there and take it. Krista, you serioualy make my blood boil. These people march with swastikas. you are out of your mind and sick in my opinion. Did Mike Brown deserve to die? no. But noone I know would ever hit a cop either. Again, when Hamas is bombing your children, you can let me know how you feel about israel. you make me sick beyond words.
**Moderator: Thank you for commenting at TMR. Focus on facts. Intelligent comments and civil disagreement are most welcome. No name calling please (this isn’t YouTube).***
Obviously Krista didn’t pay attention to the news conference last night where it was announced that the grand jury voted to not incite and all the evidence that was laid out. Esp the evidence of how so many witness lied a out what they saw and then changed their story once forensics came out proving them wrong. When they were caught lying they finally admitted they lied and never saw the incident or only saw a very small portion of it. Including browns friend he was busted in several lies like he said Wilson shot brown in the back that was proven false he also said Wilson was standing over brown shooting him, that again was proven false. Several of the witness that were proven liars was friends of brown and weren’t even there. Also it was proven false that brown had his hands up yelling don’t shoot. The true witnesses that told the truth that brown was the aggressor and Wilson was defending himself was guess what Krista, they all were black. So your little speech about racism in this is false! I would suggest that before you open up your hole and stick your foot in it you should find out the facts first. I will say it once again the cop was doing his job the cop was in fear of his life and that was coming from the black witnesses who were telling the truth and forensic evidence supports their testimony as it supports Wilson testimony. Listen carefully racism didn’t play a role and that is a fact as per the black witnesses who actually truly saw everything go down. All you need to do is research and read the evidence and witness statements its there they released it all. But I think you won’t read it because and its my opinion that you seem to be in the race baiting club. If you do read it then I have one question…how does that crow taste?
Autocorrect sucks sorry a few words are wrong because of it.
Considering the fact that CAIR (a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood) is involved, this is no surprise. CAIR should be designated a terrorist organization.
Where do they “blame” Jews ??
Ah…right…nowhere.
Agreed 100%. CAIR has tried to tie themselves to the Furgeson issue. Even the UAE has labeled CAIR as a “terrorist organization.” My heart goes out to the families impacted through this tragedy, but mixing the topics is complete BS.
Where do you not figure out that Israel is a Jewish country, run by Jews? You think they are blaming the Israeli Arabs?
Next up, Palestinian child gets a cold, parents blame Israel.
Exactly. They’re making a comparison. Not blaming. Also, just because someone has a problem with Isreali policies or American influence on the conflict in Gaza doesn’t make him anti-sematic.
Real confusion and real lies from those who blame Israel .First Egypt is also on their borders not just Israel . 2014 Egypt offered all Palestine land to live on and call home and they turned it down .Israel gave Palestine Gaza to make peace. .What did Israel get in return nothing after Palestine promised peace.Israel in handing over Gaza left for the Palestine millions of dollar worth of example green house.Israel did this so the Palestine people could feed themselves .Palestine people took Gaza and destroy everything because a Jew had touched it .Israel is not responsible for Palestine people being there ,it’s nations like Jordan.Now if you do your history examination what caused this . Israel is being damned because they defend themselves from a people and belief of Islam that want to kill everyone of the Jewish people .Hamas was elected by Palestine people even know Hamas is a terrorist group.Hamas gets billion of dollars from USA and UN and the Palestine people are still poor because their leaders steal the money for themselves .Hamas is rich, the Palestine people are poor .Hamas knows this keeps the Palestine people angry at who ? Hamas blames Israel and the Palestine blindly believe the false statement . Israel defends itself against Hamas missiles,by the way non stop Hamas attacks after years and years . Israel even warned the Palestine people by phone calls to leave the area. Hamas shields themselves with and force them to stay in the area that Hamas launches it rockets .Hamas uses the Palestine deaths for their own PR media support .Media Blames Israel and support Hamas .Islam folks kills and destroys all who will not submit .Israel also did not steal the land as media and other claim .There was no middle east as we see today .It was middle east called ottoman empire. After world war one that ended .The nation we see today were create by a drawing of lines … Israel was promised land Balfour agreement 1917.The term Palestine was name for Jewish people .Balfour agreement was for the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. England failed to do as it promise .Remember England as a very power nation .It control the whole world .Note see what happen to England after it failed to do as promise for the Jewish people .England lost it’s world power position .After the ww2 holocaust the world gave finally what was promise Israel a nation again .Bible God fulfillment of prophecy too.Media Blames Israel and support Hamas .Islam folks kill and destroy all who will not submit .The real truth – http://www.hallindsey.com/videos/?vid=377 …
So Stacey, is that not the same as when some Black mother with 5 kids and no job blames the white people for her inability to buy her kids veggies instead of fried chicken?
So you photographed the same banner 3 times…big deal.
The parallel to Palestine was made because the Ferguson murder and ultra-militarized police reaction was at the same time as the ultra-violent cull of civilians in Gaza last summer by Israel.
2 oppressed peoples seeking justice.
Well since Israel destroyed the Gaza power station, that blame would be totally appropriate.
The Palestinians destroyed their own power station with an errant rocket. And also, cutting off the power to someone who’s attacking you is legitimate warfare anyway. Maybe Hamas should cut their military operations away from civilians.

Maybe your imaginary “civilians” shouldn’t be launching rockets. That makes them lawful combatants, not civilians.
Yesterday a Syrian plane killed 95 Syrians. During the Gaza campaign hundreds of Israeli fighter jets only destroyed property without killing anyone. Each of those Israeli flights could have killed 95 Gazans but did not. Even Gen. Dempsey went over to Israel to find out how the Israelis limited collateral damage when going after military targets embedded in civilian areas. British Col. R. Kemp said that the Israelis were the best at limiting civilian casualties and that the Israeli Forces were the most humane in the world.
Have you ever commented on the 200,000 Syrians killed, or the thousand of Iraqis murdered in the Sunni-Shiite fighting or the Boko Haram in Nigeria or the Somali Islamists?
Just when I thought that the PC Left couldn’t get any more irrational and anti-Semitic, along come these clowns to prove me wrong. I would like to suggest that if they have an issue with “occupation,” that these occupiers of a former Native American region go homeless as they forfeit their homes, and give them free of cost to any Native Americans that they can find. Since they all look pretty clueless and “soft” to me, unlike the IDF and American soldiers whom I adore, I give them about 24 hours on the street before they go running and crying for their mamas…
you do notice that the banner holders are white
Thanks AtTheBackoftheHill, You sound as if you know what you’re talking about.
That’s just International Answer. They are quick to hijack any movement and cause, and the “occupation is a crime” slogan is infinitely bendable. But it only (semi) rhymes with Palestine. In consequence, EVERYTHING is, in their thin minds, a Palestine issue. They always pull this.
Actually, a Jewish-owned store was looted – STL Wireless – owned by Sonny Dayan, who is an Israeli. Just google Sonny Dayan Ferguson.
Guess this means the officer who shot the kid was a Jew.
Thank you for sharing this – Sane people will think this is silly, childish, foolish – Holocaust survivors, their families and those with an ounce of sensitivity will shudder at the realization that the Nuremberg Laws and all that horror can happen once again.
when a mind is twisted it also comes back to the kinks that make it most comfortable
I am not claiming those people aren’t anti-semites, but, I don’t know if it is a blatant attempt to blame Israel/Jews for Ferguson as much as it is an attempt to grab the stage. The narrative of American backing of Israel/Zionists controlling the US is probably lurking behind this, but it may not be as dire. Piggy backing on organized protests with one’s own niche cause has been common at least since the WTO protests in 1999. I would not be surprised if there were other groups that “loosely” connected their causes to Ferguson. Some, like Animal Rights activists, may not be represented in Ferguson marches, because human rights activists (especially those representing local minorities) often dismiss them (“You want to save the whales while there are people dying right here”), but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were messages of “solidarity” (whether genuine or not) from other human rights groups. I support a free Tibet, so I say this with sympathy, I bet there were Tibetans and pro-Tibet activists at several rallies across the country holding signs connecting the two issues.
Were jewish businesses attacked? Is there a mosque in Ferguson?olgaolgarenee49@gmail.com olgafacebook

Yeah, that’s a real head scratcher. When I first saw that, all I could think of was “What the WHAT???”
Exactly!
Seriously?? Anti-Semitism really?? Blame the Jews ?? Then go live in Palestine and try to practice a different religion. Try being a woman there, oh and try to see how they react to homosexuals . and while you are at it why don’t you go to any big high crime city and do patrol and ride along with a police officer. You don’t have any idea what life is like in Palistine or what it is like to work in the high crime areas of the US.
Jew are not Semites!
Antisemites need no excuse. Anything will do.
The Muslims .I was at a local Mosque handing out gospel tracts on 10 /31 . The same one mentioned here .http://www.hallindsey.com/videos/?vid=390 Ferguson and Jihad. By the way I live near ferguson mo ..
These people are making such a stretch it is laughable. I would see this sign and think, “morons” at who was carrying it. I also find it alarming how it is becoming chic to be anti Israel. Does anyone ever really READ the news or watch media from the rest of the world? They can’t possibly, or they couldn’t be this ridiculous or hold something like this damn sign. ugh.
no, tracey, they don’t read…ever! they just want to see their faces on tv. and faux news doesn’t count as news. unfortunately, there are plenty of morons to go around.
Wait, I don’t think you’ve read.
Israel believes Palestinian lives are worth less than Israeli lives.
America believes black lives are worth less than white lives.
Strong parallel!
That’s an assinine comment. Israel has wanted peace since 1948. The middle east was divvied up amongst the British and the French after WW1 and the rest, as they say is history.
By the way, many Israeli’s are black. Living better in Israel than they did in the shithole countries they emigrated from.
Kerri, you’ve been drinking too much of “the kool aid”. Time for a reality check!
Everyone should watch Brigitte Gabriel on Youtube. She is incredible and always spot on.
What the f*** does this have to do with Israel???
Israel believes Palestinian lives are worth less than Israeli lives.
America believes black lives are worth less than white lives.
Both act on these beliefs and kill many innocent civilians.
Israel doesn’t discriminate Palestinians. They (arabs who are so called palestinians and are not) choose to hate and be aggressive. And Americans don’t discriminate against blacks, otherwise, we wouldn’t have a black president and O.J. Simpson wouldn’t have gone free after killing his ex-wife and friend. The only reason it happened was because they are both blacks, or else Americans would have not chosen a President that had no experience and never held a real job in his life.
Arabs have the same rights as Jews in Israel. A recent poll said 77% of Israeli Arabs would rather live in Israel than in an Arab country. Your comment is nothing but lies.
Absolutely true, Arabs have same rights as a Jews in Israel.Please see the link below

You must be very young or severely misinformed. If you are comparing Isreal to the US treatment of black people. Do research before you make a statement that makes NO sense.
It’s just an excuse to loot some stores.
The link makes sense because Israel is an openly racist discriminatory society which oppresses the Palestinians. Looks like a similar story happening in Ferguson!
Oh, Firoz Osman would link Ferguson to Israel. Its his style…He is an anti-Israel activist par excellence…suits his agenda perfectly regardless of the lies.
It’s hard to like a people who celebrates terrorism.
