Will ‘Nipper’ Cameron obey Tel Aviv’s trumpet or vote for Palestinian freedom?

The famous little white dog listened intently to his master’s voice from the gramophone trumpet…

Britain and NATO were keen as mustard to establish a no-fly zone over Libya to “protect civilians” but too cowardly to do the same for the Palestinians, who are constantly on the receiving end of Israel’s vicious air strikes and armed incursions. Muslims and Christians alike have been slaughtered or maimed in their thousands and had their homes, farms and water resources stolen while waiting 63 years for the international community to deliver them from Israel’s brutal occupation.
And Israel now plans to steal Palestine’s offshore gas.
PALESTINIANS SEEK UN RECOGNITION
Not surprisingly, after decades of fruitless peace talks with a gun to their heads the Palestinians are about to apply to the United Nations for recognition of their own state based on the 1949 armistice lines that are universally regarded as the border with Israel.
But I was taken by surprise yesterday by an email from Avaaz, those energetic organizers of global petitions, saying that “in 48 hours, the UN Security Council will meet again to discuss Palestine’s bid to become the 194th country”. They want 1 million signatures to a petition to ramp up public pressure and get governments off the fence and supporting this long-overdue bid for freedom.

I thought the Palestinian application was going to be made on 20 September or soon afterwards, under Lebanon’s UN presidency. Meanwhile, the US and Israel have been conducting a huge diplomatic campaign to sabotage the Palestinian move. Perhaps somebody behind the scenes has calculated that their ridiculous propaganda will have worn thin by the time 20 September arrives.
PALESTINIANS SEEK UN RECOGNITION
Most of the world already supports the Palestinian cause. The trouble is, the will of the people in the US, Britain and most of Europe is downright ignored by political leaders who have allowed themselves to be suckered into the Zionist cause. That’s Western-style democracy for you. Freedom fighters, beware.
It remains to be seen whether Britain, whose prime minister is a self-proclaimed Zionist and has pledged “indestructible” support for the Israeli regime and whose foreign secretary has been an adoring Friend of Israel since he was in short trousers, will join in blocking the bid for freedom.
The other day David Cameron said of the successful Libyan uprising: “Our task now is to do all we can to support the will of the Libyan people which is for an effective transition to a free, democratic and inclusive Libya. This will be and must be and should be Libyan-led and a Libyan-owned process with broad international support co-ordinated by the United Nations.” He’s keen as mustard – again – to do all this for the Libyans, but will he do the same for the Palestinians? When they held free and fair elections in 2006 democracy-preaching Britain didn’t like the result and joined the US and Israel in trashing the Palestinians’ fledgling democracy and strangling their economy.

It’s not difficult to imagine Cameron and Hague snapping to attention when Tel Aviv speaks, the mantra-like instructions amplified as usual by Washington… “Let there be no doubt… blah, blah…symbolic action to isolate Israel will not create an independent Palestinian state… blah, blah…no shortcut to statehood… blah, blah…must return to the negotiating table…”.
The famous trade-mark white dog ‘Nipper’, listening intently to his master’s voice from the gramophone trumpet, comes instantly to mind.
Of course, fluffy American bitches have had their coiffed heads wedged so firmly up Tel Aviv’s trumpet for such a long time that it’s worn like a permanent fashion statement over there.
The question is, can ‘Nipper’ Cameron extract his head from that trumpet long enough to put his money where his mouth is with regard to democracy and freedom in the Middle East, and do the decent thing in tune with the British people’s wishes?
Of course, getting international support is only half the battle. I read with alarm that Saeb Erekat, Abbass’s sidekick, heads the team responsible for preparing the Palestinian submission to the UN. I thought Erekat resigned as chief negotiator following Wikileaks revelations that his team, during peace talks with the Israelis, was willing to make suicidal concessions and couldn’t negotiate its way out of a paper bag. A few months ago he was reported to be in Washington talking with US officials about reviving that same pointless peace process. How counter-productive can he get?

And such is the legal and constitutional tangle surrounding the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organisation), the PNC (Palestinian National Council) and the PA (Palestinian Authority), and their relationship to each other, that legal advisers now warn that a move towards statehood might adversely affect the rights of the refugees, who account for more than half of all Palestinians. If the PLO, the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, is replaced by a state the change in legal status could mean that core rights, such as the right of return, are lost forever unless the whole deal is very cleverly handled.
Are these really the right people to be in charge of Palestine’s fate?

From the article:

Brian: NATO is a terrorist organization, controlled by Israel, it doesn’t care about human suffering. I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve read NATO bombed specific parts of Libya, they were running out of bombs, blew up tanks and other military equipment, shut down the Libyan air force and forced the Libyan army out of specific areas with death and destruction and afterward made a phone call to the rebels; they casually show up at the scene of death and destruction and claim they actually won the battle and take advantage of the wonderful photo opportunity. Great propaganda.
There’s no way in heck this assault by NATO was for humanitarian reasons, just look at its lack of action with Bahrain and Palestine. This was about oil, the government run central bank, Israel’s desire to balkanize the Middle East and North Africa , attempt to get Libya into AFRICOM for oil reasons and thwart Gadaffi and his Gold Dinar.
From a March 2001 Global Research an article:
In 2009, Gadaffi started suggesting that he might nationalize the remaining foreign oil assets in Libya (AFRICOM had already been set up by that time), and he has renewed that threat since the NATO intervention began last week. But right now sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the European Union have reduced Libya’s oil exports to a trickle, resulting in a worldwide jump in fuel prices. A drastic intervention leading to the removal of Gadaffi and greater freedom of operation for these oil companies might well be part of the motive for the intervention, especially on the part of major European Union countries dependent on Libya for their energy needs.
Countering Chinese influence in Africa
Another reason given by some analysts for the creation of AFRICOM is as a counter to Chinese commercial advances in Africa. AFRICOM is mainly a military entity, but includes civil operations that are supposed to win the hearts and minds of Africans through development projects.
If NATO is a humanitarian organization, let them prove it by establishing a no fly zone over Gaza.
By the way I have respect for the VT editorial staff but they shut down the comments section in the recent article called Libyan WMD – Veterans Today and Wikilieaks were Right. That goes against the freedom of speech environment that has served VT so well for a long time. It’s come across as we are right and we don’t want anyone to debate about it. I hope this doesn’t become a trend because VT will loose readership. I respect the VT editorial staff but I think they made a wrong decision. I suppose it’s slightly possible they shut down the comments section due to a technical problem.
Oops! That should March 2011 Global Research article
Don’t they close comment sections after a while?
They are tuthless israeal’s poodle.They are gutless only active against Muslims as shown by their actions against Palastinians & Kashmiris.As much as terrorist israels and bunderstanis(indians)kill innocent people,the more help is given to these two nations.Shame on these peoples for their bloody acts.
Sardar, you are right about the poodle. But, Khan, It’s sad when people put all of their energy into foolishness. What makes it worst is when your foolish behavior, tactics as well and envious ways are transparent. Unless you are blind, Bunderstanis as you call them are not happy with their government policies either, I see true democracy in action there unlike anywhere else on the planet, I don’t see the Bunders as you call them burning buildings, breaking and ransacking shops, or killing eachother like idiots. Aucontraire I see the whole country in one voice protesting and calling their politicians to account, which in all probability will result in swift action and Policy changes. Perhaps you can learn a lesson or two for your own good and the good of your country from Bunders.
In early March, Levy went to the eastern Libyan town of Benghazi, days after its capture by rebel forces. He met members of the just-formed National Transitional Council and arranged for some of them to meet French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris on March 10.

Dashing Wartime Philosopher Bernard Henri Lévy ties Libyan rebels & Netanyahu, lolz at teh Bilderberg conspiracy – and your French Revolution Freemason delirium too!

Bernard-Henri Lévy gets Libyan rebels to support Israel & doesn’t like your Bilderberg conspiracies!
Apparently this French philosopher with a penchant for drama is calling more shots than people realize. However, he has had enough with your conspiracies! What is this guy’s deal? After reading about he was a go-between for Netanyahu and the Libyan rebels via DC alt/deep weirdness journalist Wayne Madsen, I couldn’t resist looking a little closer, then getting into weird French artwork. You’re right, no conspiracy here, Mr Lévy. Touché!
June 2nd: Libyan rebels will recognise Israel, Bernard-Henri Lévy tells Netanyahu | RFI
By RFI
Libya’s rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) is ready to recognise Israel, according to French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, who says he has passed the message on to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The NTC “will be concerned with justice for the Palestinians and security for Israel” it it takes power, Lévy said after meeting Netanyahu Thursday. “The future regime will maintain normal relations with other democratic countries, including Israel.” Netanyahu’s office confirmed the meeting with Lévy but did not comment on the discussion. “The prime minister likes to meet intellectuals,” a spokesperson said.

UsuryBy: Rabelais Anyone notice that the whole “clash of civilizations” has been with people who reject fractional reserve banking and debt based currency? Levy and his ilk will not be satisfied until every square inch of the planet is under the control of a central bank. The fact that Ghadaffi possesses a few hundred tons of gold, stored in Libya and not in a bank somewhere… where it could be easily seized, has allowed him to survive this assault so far. He is the only one targeted in the middle east to have done so, and it is vexing the fiat mongers to no end.
Somehow Israel always pops up ….
