''Israel and the Surrender of the West One of the world's oldest stories is playing out before our eyes: The Jews are being scapegoated again.
By SHELBY STEELE The most interesting voice in all the fallout surrounding the Gaza flotilla incident is that sanctimonious and meddling voice known as "world opinion." At every turn "world opinion," like a school marm, takes offense and condemns Israel for yet another infraction of the world's moral sensibility. And this voice has achieved an international political legitimacy so that even the silliest condemnation of Israel is an opportunity for self-congratulation.
Rock bands now find moral imprimatur in canceling their summer tour stops in Israel (Elvis Costello, the Pixies, the Gorillaz, the Klaxons). A demonstrator at an anti-Israel rally in New York carries a sign depicting the skull and crossbones drawn over the word "Israel." White House correspondent Helen Thomas, in one of the ugliest incarnations of this voice, calls on Jews to move back to Poland. And of course the United Nations and other international organizations smugly pass one condemnatory resolution after another against Israel while the Obama administration either joins in or demurs with a wink.
This is something new in the world, this almost complete segregation of Israel in the community of nations. And if Helen Thomas's remarks were pathetic and ugly, didn't they also point to the end game of this isolation effort: the nullification of Israel's legitimacy as a nation? There is a chilling familiarity in all this. One of the world's oldest stories is playing out before our eyes: The Jews are being scapegoated again.
"World opinion" labors mightily to make Israel look like South Africa looked in its apartheid era—a nation beyond the moral pale. And it projects onto Israel the same sin that made apartheid South Africa so untouchable: white supremacy. Somehow "world opinion" has moved away from the old 20th century view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a complicated territorial dispute between two long-suffering peoples. Today the world puts its thumb on the scale for the Palestinians by demonizing the stronger and whiter Israel as essentially a colonial power committed to the "occupation" of a beleaguered Third World people.
This is now—figuratively in some quarters and literally in others—the moral template through which Israel is seen. It doesn't matter that much of the world may actually know better. This template has become propriety itself, a form of good manners, a political correctness. Thus it is good manners to be outraged at Israel's blockade of Gaza, and it is bad manners to be outraged at Hamas's recent attack on a school because it educated girls, or at the thousands of rockets Hamas has fired into Israeli towns—or even at the fact that Hamas is armed and funded by Iran. The world wants independent investigations of Israel, not of Hamas.
One reason for this is that the entire Western world has suffered from a deficit of moral authority for decades now. Today we in the West are reluctant to use our full military might in war lest we seem imperialistic; we hesitate to enforce our borders lest we seem racist; we are reluctant to ask for assimilation from new immigrants lest we seem xenophobic; and we are pained to give Western Civilization primacy in our educational curricula lest we seem supremacist. Today the West lives on the defensive, the very legitimacy of our modern societies requiring constant dissociation from the sins of the Western past—racism, economic exploitation, imperialism and so on. When the Israeli commandos boarded that last boat in the flotilla and, after being attacked with metal rods, killed nine of their attackers, they were acting in a world without the moral authority to give them the benefit of the doubt. By appearances they were shock troopers from a largely white First World nation willing to slaughter even "peace activists" in order to enforce a blockade against the impoverished brown people of Gaza. Thus the irony: In the eyes of a morally compromised Western world, the Israelis looked like the Gestapo.
This, of course, is not the reality of modern Israel. Israel does not seek to oppress or occupy—and certainly not to annihilate—the Palestinians in the pursuit of some atavistic Jewish supremacy. But the merest echo of the shameful Western past is enough to chill support for Israel in the West.
The West also lacks the self-assurance to see the Palestinians accurately. Here again it is safer in the white West to see the Palestinians as they advertise themselves—as an "occupied" people denied sovereignty and simple human dignity by a white Western colonizer. The West is simply too vulnerable to the racist stigma to object to this "neo-colonial" characterization.
Our problem in the West is understandable. We don't want to lose more moral authority than we already have. So we choose not to see certain things that are right in front of us. For example, we ignore that the Palestinians—and for that matter much of the Middle East—are driven to militancy and war not by legitimate complaints against Israel or the West but by an internalized sense of inferiority. If the Palestinians got everything they want—a sovereign nation and even, let's say, a nuclear weapon—they would wake the next morning still hounded by a sense of inferiority. For better or for worse, modernity is now the measure of man.
And the quickest cover for inferiority is hatred. The problem is not me; it is them. And in my victimization I enjoy a moral and human grandiosity—no matter how smart and modern my enemy is, I have the innocence that defines victims. I may be poor but my hands are clean. Even my backwardness and poverty only reflect a moral superiority, while my enemy's wealth proves his inhumanity.
In other words, my hatred is my self-esteem. This must have much to do with why Yasser Arafat rejected Ehud Barak's famous Camp David offer of 2000 in which Israel offered more than 90% of what the Palestinians had demanded. To have accepted that offer would have been to forgo hatred as consolation and meaning. Thus it would have plunged the Palestinians—and by implication the broader Muslim world—into a confrontation with their inferiority relative to modernity. Arafat knew that without the Jews to hate an all-defining cohesion would leave the Muslim world. So he said no to peace.
And this recalcitrance in the Muslim world, this attraction to the consolations of hatred, is one of the world's great problems today—whether in the suburbs of Paris and London, or in Kabul and Karachi, or in Queens, N.Y., and Gaza. The fervor for hatred as deliverance may not define the Muslim world, but it has become a drug that consoles elements of that world in the larger competition with the West. This is the problem we in the West have no easy solution to, and we scapegoat Israel—admonish it to behave better—so as not to feel helpless. We see our own vulnerability there.

Mişcarea islamistă din Somalia a decretat că toţi bărbaţii din capitala ţării trebuie să poarte barbă şi să-şi aranjeze mustăţile. Cine nu respectă sharia, riscă să fie pedepsit potrivit draticei legi islamice. Bărbaţii nebărboşi nu mai sunt toleraţi de grupările islamiste somaleze. Imaginea 1/1.“Bărbaţilor li se ordonă să-şi lase barbă, iar oricine care încalcă această regulă va suferi consecinţele”, le-a spus reporterilor Hashi Mohamed Farah, unul dintre liderii mişcării islamiste Hezb al-Islam.
Acest ordin e în armonie cu edictul unui alt grup islamic, Shebab, organizaţie inspirată de al-Qaeda. Shebab şi Hezb al-Islam controlează cea mai mare parte din Somalia.
“A purta barbă este o învăţătură morală lăsată de profetul Mahomed, pacea fie cu El, aşa că e o obligaţie să ţinem vie această practică religioasă şi să îi pedepsim pe bărbaţii care-şi rad barba şi-şi lasă mustaţă”, a adăugat Farah.
În unele părţi ale oraşului Mogadishu şi în alte regiuni ale ţării, sharia este aplicată strict de către organizaţia Shebab care are, în acest sens, şi o ramură de poliţie religioasă, “Armata moralităţii”, informează iol.co.za. Alte reguli impuse de islamişti includ interdicţia de a viziona meciurile de la Campionatul Mondial, de-a asculta muzică vestică sau de-a juca jocuri video.
Apropos de islamistii din Somalia.Deunazi citeam ca vreo cateva persoana au fost executate pt. ca urmareau Cupa Mondiala.Fotbalul distrage omul de la indeplinirea datoriei sale de a lupta contra necredinciosilor...
Hezbollah and allies topple Lebanese unity government
Lebanon's national unity government has collapsed after 11 ministers from Hezbollah and its allies resigned.
Energy Minister Gibran Bassil said the decision was prompted by a dispute over the UN tribunal investigating former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri's murder.
The announcement came as Prime Minister Saad Hariri, his son, was meeting US President Barack Obama in Washington.
Tension has been high in Lebanon, amid indications that Hezbollah members could be indicted by the UN tribunal.
On Tuesday, officials said efforts by the Syrian and Saudi Arabian governments to reach a political compromise had failed. The opposition has claimed that a potential deal was blocked by the US.
There are widespread fears that a collapse of the government could spark an outbreak of sectarian violence, last seen in Beirut in 2008. Caretaker role
Under a power-sharing deal agreed in November 2009 to end five months of deadlock, the Shia Islamist movement Hezbollah was given two posts in the 30-member national unity government.
Its allies - the Shia Amal movement and the bloc of the Maronite Christian leader and former general Michel Aoun - got another eight.
Mr Hariri's Sunni Future movement and its Maronite Christian and Druze allies, meanwhile, had 15 ministers in the cabinet.
The five remaining ministers were named by President Michel Suleiman.
The resignations of more than a third of the ministers were required to bring down the government.
On Wednesday, the 10 ministers allied to Hezbollah were joined by one of the president's appointees, Minister of State Adnan Sayyed Hussein, in announcing that they would resign and force the government's collapse.
Mr Hariri will now head a caretaker administration while the president consults parliamentary blocs to seek agreement on an acceptable new figure.
Mr Bassil, a member of the Christian Free Patriotic Movement, said the prime minister had rejected their demands for an urgent cabinet session to discuss withdrawing all co-operation with the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and denouncing any indictments.
"The grace period has ended, and the waiting stage that we lived through without any result has ended," he told Reuters news agency.
Environment Minister Mohammad Rahhal, a member of the Future Movement, said the resignations were aimed at paralysing the state and forcing Mr Hariri to reject the authority of the tribunal investigating his father's murder.
"They think that by piling the pressure on him, that Hariri will bend, but they are mistaken," he told the AFP news agency.
Other allies of the prime minister criticised Hezbollah for making the announcement coincide with his meeting with President Obama.
BBC Beirut correspondent Jim Muir says this is believed to be the first time in Lebanon's history that a government has been brought down by ministerial resignations rather than the prime minister himself deciding to call it a day.
This is a struggle over the regional balance of power, which was heavily in Washington's favour at the time the UN tribunal was established, but has now swung back in the direction of Syria, Iran and their local allies on the Lebanese stage, our correspondent says.
But, he adds, while bringing down the government is one thing, replacing it with another is something else.
At the moment, Mr Hariri's allies insist that only he should head any new government. So getting them to agree to someone closer to Syria and the Lebanese opposition will be very hard, our correspondent says.
President Suleiman will go through the motions to find a compromise candidate, but the consultations are likely to go round in circles as long as there is no agreement, and certainly there is none in sight, he adds.
Circul a inceput de la faptul ca un tanar isi dadu foc dupa ce politia ia confiscat marfa(niste fructe,parca) pe care le comercializa ''ilegal''.Baiul e ca birocratia e asa de mare incat orice ai incerca sa faci,iti lipseste vreo autorizatie ici,una colo.Cam ca la noi.Oricum la astia e macel mare.
Protesters killed in Tunisia riots Fatalities reported after fresh clashes between demonstrators and security forces across north African nation. Last Modified: 09 Jan 2011 20:39 GMT
Several people have been killed in clashes with police in different parts of Tunisia.
Union sources told Al Jazeera that six people were killed and another six wounded in the city of Tala, 200km southwest of the capital Tunis, on Saturday after security forces opened fire on protesters.
Another 14 people were killed in similar clashes in the Kasserine region, the sources said.
Tunisia official media said on Sunday that there had been 14 deaths in the past 24 hours in Tala, Kasserine and Rgeb.
Several police officers were wounded in the clashes, some of them seriously, according to the official TAP news agency.
Belgacem Sayhi, a teacher and trade union activist, told the AFP news agency that the victims in Tala were between 17 and 30 years old, and were killed when the police opened fire on the crowd.
Unverified photos from Tunisia sent via social media
An employee at a hospital in Tala told Reuters that several people were admitted to the hospital after the clashes, and other witnesses said that six people who were in critical condition had been moved to the regional capital, Kasserine.
Witnesses said police fired their weapons after using water cannons to try to disperse a crowd which had set fire to a government building.
The crowd also threw stones and petrol bombs at police.
Defending its actions, a government statement said: "The police opened fire in legitimate self-defence and this led to two dead and eight wounded, as well as several wounded among police, three of them seriously."
A press blackout has made confirming witness accounts difficult, but Al Jazeera has been sent a considerable number of disturbing, grisly images of what appear to be injured and dead protesters via social media.
There had already been unrest in Tala on Friday, with protesters attacking a bank and official buildings, and setting them on fire, Sadok Mahmoudi, a union leader, told AFP news agency.
Paris explosion
In a related development, French police confirmed that a "small explosion" occurred at the Tunisian consulate in a Paris suburb early on Sunday morning.
The blast took place at the consulate in Pantin, and caused "minor damage to the consulates metal shutters", police said. More on the story on Al Jazeera's Tunisia spotlight page
Raouf Najar, Tunisia's ambassador to France, said in a statement: "The disinformation these past few days on what is happening in Tunisia is such that anything is possible, even this terrorist act."
The consulate reopened for business later on Sunday morning, with a police guard posted outside.
On Saturday, troops were deployed to the area for the first time since the start of the recent wave of unrest which has been in protest at high levels of youth unemployment.
The soldiers were assigned to protect public buildings, said Mahmoudi.
Protests sparked by high youth unemployment have spread from the central town of Sidi Bouzid to other parts chiefly in the north African country's interior, which lags behind the more prosperous coastal areas.
Union protest
On Saturday, the Tunisian General Union of Labour (UGTT), the country's main union, condemned the authorities for their heavy-handed response to protesters.
Several hundred UGTT members gathered in Tunis to observe a minute's silence for those who have died since protests began.
"We support the demands of the people in Sidi Bouzid and interior regions," said Abid Brigui, deputy general secretary of the union, which is considered to be close to the government.
Last week, a 26-year-old Tunisian man who set off a wave of protests after attempting to commit suicide by setting himself on fire last month died of third-degree burns in hospital.
Zine al Abidine Ben Ali , the Tunisian president, has said the violent protests are unacceptable and could harm the country's interests by discouraging investors and tourists who provide a large part of the country's revenues.
Protests traditionally have been rare in Tunisia, which has had only two presidents since independence from France 55 years ago.
The country has in the past been praised by Western allies as a model of stability and prosperity in the Arab world.
Da,am avut. De fiecare data când am fost în vacanta. 125 de dinari taxiul de la Tunis la Cartagina,sa vezi acolo lupte Nu,tunisienii sunt niste marocani mai saraci,plini de bun-simt si cu o tara frumoasa si pasnica. "Pacificata" de francezi demult,dar pe vremea aia era bunica fata.
Astazi,Ben-Ali s-a jucat de-a Ceausescu...a plecat cu avionul si dus a fost. Înc-un regim socialisto-autoritaro-nationalist în minus. Bravo lor.
Daca vrei sa vezi lupte la Cartagina iti trebuie ceva imaginatie.E ceva vreme de cand Scipio Africanul,Patton,Rommel sau Messe i-au vizitat.
Odata cu regimul s-a dus si turismul,cel putin anul acesta.Pana acum schimbarile s-au soldat cu intarirea elementelor islamice cam peste tot la sud de Mediterana,chiar si in tarile unde nu islamistii au pornit ostilitatile.Pana si in Turcia zisa seculara reformele au dus la cresterea islamului ca ideologie politica.E de vazut cum se va misca Tunisia

Deci logica are si ceva reflectare in legica.
