ISRAEL AMERICA PALESTINE SOLUTION

Thank you Ken. But I still deplore that politicians seem to find some moral virility to speak their mind and sometimes even speak the Truth, only after they retire, only after they have nothing to loose. But better too late than never.

TIMES OF ISRAEL – Former London mayor Ken Livingstone on Wednesday called the creation of Israel “fundamentally wrong,” and “a great catastrophe.” The existence of the Jewish state in the Middle East, he said, could ultimately lead to nuclear war.

“The creation of the state of Israel was fundamentally wrong, because there had been a Palestinian community there for 2,000 years,” Livingstone told an Arabic language TV station based in London, in a clip posted and translated by the watchdog MEMRI group.

The creation of the state of Israel was a great catastrophe,” he repeated. “We should have absorbed the post-World War II Jewish refugees in Britain and America. They could all have been resettled, whereas 70 years later, the situation is still very tense, and there is potential for many more wars, potential for nuclear war,” Livingstone told Al-Ghad Al-Arabi.

He also advocated for an international boycott on Israeli products, telling his interviewer that “I never buy anything” that comes from Israel. “I like dates, but I don’t buy dates that come from Israel,” he said.

The former mayor was last week suspended by the Labour party for saying that Hitler supported Zionism “before he went mad and ended up killing 6 million Jews.” He has refused to apologize for the comments and even claimed that previous remarks by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the relationship between the grand mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler supported his argument.

He repeated his claims on Hitler and Zionism on Wednesday, saying that “When Hitler won the elections in 1932 and came to power, his policy was not directed toward killing the Jews. He wanted to deport all the Zionists to Israel [sic].” The State of Israel was created in 1948, three years after the end of the Holocaust.

Livingstone also attributed the mass expulsion of Jews across the Arab world to Israel’s founding.

Prior to the creation of the Jewish state, he said, “there were large Jewish communities that never suffered threats or attacks. They lived in peace alongside their Arab neighbors. But all of this was destroyed with the establishment of the State of Israel, and all the Israeli [sic] communities in the Arab world were deported to Israel.”

The veteran politician also blamed Israel’s ongoing conflict with the Palestinians for global terrorism, including the recent brutal Islamic State attacks in Paris and Brussels.

“I have always believed that the failure to resolve the [Palestinian] problem fuels the terrorist attacks,” he said. “What makes a 15- or 16-year-old boy go and fight with ISIS, or carry out the barbaric attacks that we saw in Paris or Brussels? They don’t do it because they enjoy killing, but because they believe that they are the victims of injustice. The West must deal with the injustice, or will continue to fuel terrorism.”

His latest comments came as Labour struggled to deal with multiple suspensions of members for anti-Israel and anti-Semitic remarks and posts on social media, a scandal that threatens to reduce Jewish support for the party. He was also speaking on the eve of Thursday’s local elections in the UK, in which Labour’s MP Sadiq Khan was seeking to win back the London mayoralty for the party. Britons went to the polls on Thursday to select local leaders across the country, including for London mayor. Khan, a Muslim, is facing off against Conservative candidate Zac Goldsmith, who is of partial Jewish ancestry.

  1. They only admit wrongdoings when they retire and have lost their edge to be truly effective. Yes, Sabba, it is most frustrating. But then there is the simple fear aspect of it….

  2. I wonder why Ken Livingstone never mentioned Birobidzhan, a semi-autonomous oblast the size of Switzerland, rich in natural resources, founded for Jews by Stalin in 1928, which became formally recognized in 1934. It still exists today, could house all the Jews in the world, and is still vastly underpopulated, as indeed, much of Russia is. All the Jews could just have gone to stay there and remained there permanently.

    Figures for Jewish population of Birobidzhan in the following article at various points in time can be taken with a pinch of salt, since it is highly likely that many Jews from occupied Europe stayed there during WWII, then went back to Europe, after the war, the war which they started, to fraudulently claim holocaust compensation.

    “The idea of colonizing this territory with Jews first arose in the 1920’s, when the Soviet leadership and its Jewish agents were seeking some solution to the grave economic problems of the Jewish population. During the first five years of the Bolshevik rule, various attempts were made to settle Jews on land in various settled areas. Originally the plan was to settle the Jews in the Ukraine and the Crimea, but local opposition made the governmental committees look elsewhere. Finally Birobidzhan was chosen.

    “On March 28, 1928, the Central Executive Committee of the Supreme Soviet declared that Birobidzhan was set aside for Jewish colonization. The proclamation was followed by publicity encouraging Jews to take advantage of this opportunity.”

    Some 2.2 to 2.5 million Jews from occupied countries went to Russia during WWII, according to evidence in Victor Thorn’s book ‘The Holocaust Hoax Exposed: Debunking the 20Th Century’s Greatest Fabrication’, and presumably had many offspring there, as the West German Finance Minister stated in 1974 that well over 4 million Jews claimed holocaust compensation then, with 1 million still claiming today, for having been in German-controlled camps that the vast majority never even lived in during the war, save for the times when they passed through those camps on their way to Russia, according to some research, which claims that an agreement existed even with the Russians to receive Germany’s unwanted Jews.

    That is probably why Jews liberated from the camps at the close of the war almost always look so well-fed, most of them were probably just in transit, save for some engaged in work camps, where they were paid camp money, had theatres, cinemas, sports facilities, swimming pools even in at least one camp, synagogues, hospitals, barbers, hospitals, dentists, barbers, laundries, post offices etc.

    Bear in mind also that 500,000 Jews in occupied France were never deported by the Germans, and lived their usual lives there during German occupation.

    Ken Livingstone and all the other politicians in Parliament fail to acknowledge the glaring fact that President Putin has welcomed all Jews fleeing ‘persecution’ from ‘Muslims’ and so on in Europe to live in Russia, and it is likely they could all be situated quite comfortably in Birobidzhan, were they to accept his kind offer.

    Mr Putin has many Jewish friends, so is not trying to play some trick on them.

    The fact is, with this offer from Mr Putin, we may consider that the Jews no longer need to maintain any presence in Israel either, or risk world war by doing so, or even maintain any Samson Option for that matter, as they would come under the protection of Russian forces, behind Russian borders, were they all to migrate to Russia, or simply return there, most of the Israeli Jews having emanated from Russia in the first place, this largely explaining Mr Putin’s continued support for Israel.

    The many thousands of Russian Jews living in Israel constitute the vast majority of the population of Jews in Israel anyway, so having them all back would be no problem for him or Russia. Well, they would probably completely take over Russia then and use Russia’s military to annihilate every other country in the world with the Russian nuclear weapons in addition to their own, but that is another matter.

    All the supposedly ‘persecuted’ Jews, in fact all Jews in the whole world, could easily have lived in Birobidzhan before WWII also.

  3. On Wednesday, Ken Livingstone during an interview he gave to London Arabic Channel said that displacement (Nakba) of 700,000 Native Muslim and Christian Palestinian to create a state for European Jews was illegal. The Arabic word Nakba translates as Catastrophe in English. Israeli translators at MEMRI misquoted Livingstone by providing headline to the Jewish-controlled media: Creation of Israel was a great catastrophe.

  4. @ rehmat1 What a bunch of lunatics those silly manipulative Israeli journalists really are then. Many thanks for that most interesting piece of information.
