From Darfur to Israel: Surviving a Genocide; Making a New Life

"The people just ran away from the quick attack.. and nobody took anything with him, food or cover or anything. Women, children and old people were gathering inside the mountains, just eating the trees like animals.. Today I say Israel is my home." (Hat tip: Israeli Girl/G.I.Y.U.S.)

1. UN to Darfur: These people can’t stay in camps forever

The U.N. humanitarian chief warned Tuesday that international aid for millions of Darfur residents can not go on indefinitely and said the Sudanese government and rebels must negotiate a solution that would allow the displaced to return home.

“People are not dying of starvation,” he said. But “the problem is that people have been in camps for four or five years now,” he told reporters. “We need to find some solutions quickly so we don’t have to go on doing this indefinitely,” Holmes added.

Now, if only the Darfurians can convince the UN that Israel is really behind their problems. Then the UN would fund them indefinitely.

Related Video- "Neighborhood Bully"

"Ingenuity, creativity, and guts have sustained this People longer than any other identifiable group of people in existence today.

The only thing that may have outdone this is their sensitivity to needs of others.

After lengthy research, the amount of material uncovered attesting to the generosity and deep feelings of love for their fellow man, is staggering - much more than could ever be stuffed into 1 video on YouTube.

So here, with the help of Bob Dylan and his Neighborhood Bully, is an attempt to show what cannot even be described as the "tip of the iceberg."

Who would have thought that such a small country, bound with so many problems of its own would have time to even think about problems of others, let alone actually be permanently organized to specifically be on hand when emergency assistance is needed.

Is there any other country in the world that can show such a "resume'"? The funny thing is (am not sure that is the right word) that they do not ask for anything in return - only respect as human beings - and even that, sad to say, is too much.

Even the numerous countries that this "Bully" has selflessly raced to provide with humanitarian aid in times of chaotic turmoil and strife, fail to speak up in public on Her behalf.

What a strange phenomenon . . .

Russia, Mexico, Ecuador, Turkey, Greece, Chile, Kenya, El Salvador, Sri Lanka, and many others - all recipients of vital emergency assistance from the "Neighborhood Bully" - it must be supposed that they simply wish not to upset the well established myth, born of lies and deceit successfully creating (as was/is the purpose) in the eyes of the world, the image that is known as the "Neighborhood Bully."

The site has trailers, suggestions for taking action, plus other information— and you can order DVDs of the movie ($14.95): "Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West, Obsession reveals an ‘insider's view' of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. With the help of experts, including first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerrilla leader, the film shows, clearly, that the threat is real. A peaceful religion is being hijacked by a dangerous foe, who seeks to destroy the shared values we stand for. The world should be very concerned." Run time: 77 minutes. (Also see "Islam: What the West Needs to Know", also on this page)

P

PBS Banned Video: “Islam vs, Islamists” (V) — Many people question why more moderate Muslims don’t speak out against extremism. This film tells of Dr. Zudhi Jasser, a moderate Muslim who has been speaking out– and the strong opposition he faced from Islamists in his community. (Some of whom openly state that they feel that America should be governed by Shariah- Islamic religious law). When he decided to organize a rally against terrorism, he was met with opposition from the local Islamists. Originally this video was to be aired on PBS– but they decided not to show it. (Dr Jasser has stated that he feels that he can practice his faith more freely in this country than anywhere else in the world– which seems to be the reason why he is opposing the Islamist’s goals with such vigour). See also the related video, above: “Filmmakers’ Struggle to Air ‘Islam vs Islamists’”).

Sermon on PA TV: Mudayris (V) — Arab apologists like to explain to westerners how they don't really dislike Jews— its only "Zionists" that they hate. But when Imams preach to their own people, the spin often changes.

Special Uses of Palestinian Ambulances (V) — Israeli troops regularly inspect Palestinian ambulances. This video shows why this is necessary. (Parts of this clip are included in a longer video, "Ambulances for Jihad" near the top of this page).

Suicide Killers (V) — "This feature documentary takes the audience on a disturbing journey deep into a culture that few can comprehend -- that of suicide bombers. Filmmaker Pierre Rehov examines the phenomenon of suicide bombers through rare and never-before-seen interviews with actual family members of terrorists, the prisoners whose bombing attempts have been thwarted, and exclusive footage of a terror bomber as he prepares for mission! This film provides a message of urgency for increasing our understanding of the psychopathological dynamics of these terrorist bombers. We finally gain insight to how these human bombs 'tick'." (80 minutes)

We see disturbing parallels of an entire generation being ideologically prepared for total war. Violence and martyrdom are glorified as the noblest ideals. The innocence of youth is robbed by political leaders seeking to incite hatred for political purposes. This is the worst form of child abuse."

U

The "Darfur Crisis": Sudan's Silent Jihad

French President Nikolas Sarkozy made the claim, the other day, that the "Darfur Crisis" is driven by Global Warming:

Sarkozy: Climate change driving Darfur crisis

French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday said the war in Darfur had been sparked in part by climate change, and warned global warming could lead to "dozens" more conflicts.

In a speech at a major conference in Paris, Sarkozy said the conflict in Darfur resulted from "an explosive mixture" in which climate change had affected agriculture, forcing a migratory wave that had then helped to unleash war. (AFP)

This makes me so angry I want to take every word he spoke, wad them up into little dense turds, and I want to shove them back down his throat, so he chokes on his own fecal-verbage.

The "Darfur Crisis, is not simply a crisis, a word which whose sense of inevitability lends itself to passivity. What's going on in the Sudan is a genocide. It is the Arab-government of Sudan using it's henchmen, the Janjaweed Militia, to kill everyone who is not a Muslim.

The "Darfur Crisis" is a Jihad against the Infidel.

That's what it is, my friends. To call it anything else is to lie about it, and to lie about an ongoing genocide is to prolong the genocide, so that more people will die.

Here's an important article written by Robert Spencer in 2004 which explains the genocide in the Sudan:


Just in time to mark the tenth anniversary of the Rwandan genocide that it largely ignored, the human rights community is beginning to take notice of the genocide in Sudan. As welcome as this is, and as refreshing as it is that the New York Times and Washington Post have done extensive reporting on Darfur in recent weeks, few have noted that the tragedy of Darfur is actually the second Sudanese genocide of our age. The first killed over two million African Christians and animists in southern Sudan.

They may be forgiven for being slow on the uptake, however; after all, Darfur marks the third genocide in Africa that Kofi Annan is declining to notice: Rwanda, Sudan I and now Sudan II. Over 100,000 people have been killed in Darfur. By autumn the number of those who have been displaced or impoverished, or whose lives have been destroyed by the war in other ways, will most likely exceed three million. Yet Annan declared that he cannot consider it “genocide or ethnic cleansing yet.”

There is another word that Annan has never uttered in connection with Sudan. For a decade Khartoum has waged what the regime itself calls a jihad against Christians and tribalists in the South.

A 1992 fatwa issued by a group of pro-Khartoum Sudanese imams declared: “An insurgent who was previously a Muslim is now an apostate and a non-Muslim is a non-believer standing as a bulwark against the spread of Islam, and Islam has granted the freedom of killing both of them.”

This allowed for the murder of Christians and animists in the south; now it has been turned against the Muslims of Darfur, whose Islam doesn’t measure up to Khartoum’s hardline standards.

Yet Annan has never acknowledged that what is going on in Sudan is a jihad. And this is just one manifestation of the by-now inescapable fact that the United Nations is damaged beyond repair. The Islamic states maintain an unbreakable solidarity. The only exception to their unwillingness to condemn other Muslim states came when Saddam Hussein’s Iraq attacked Kuwait. Meanwhile, the Europeans and Chinese have oil interests in Sudan that dovetail nicely at the UN with the Islamic bloc’s determination to repel any criticism. France, the most energetic opponent of UN sanctions against the Khartoum regime, is heavily invested in Sudan through its oil giant ElfTotal.

The emperor has no clothes, but Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Physicians for Human Rights and Oxfam are still paying enthusiastic obeisance. A perusal of each of their websites demonstrates that they criticize the UN only with extreme reluctance and in the most muted tones. In a startling recrudescence of the old “white man’s burden” mentality, they tend to focus more anger at the United States and Western Europe for failing to stop killings than at the murderers themselves.

And above all, they won’t describe the conflict as what it really is: a jihad, another example of the crying need for large-scale reform within Islam.

Yet until they do so, they give jihadists carte blanche to continue their work. Instead of providing a platform for those who will work for Islamic reform, the human rights organizations, out of political correctness and a reflexive inability to see any non-white, non-Western entity as anything but a victim, are treating the symptoms but not the cause.

Search for “jihad” at the Amnesty International website, and you will find articles alleging that Israel has mistreated a man named Jihad Shaker Abu Ayesh, as well as members of the terrorist group Islamic Jihad.

You won’t find the word mentioned in connection with Sudan.

Human Rights Watch analyzes the Sudanese crisis exclusively in economic and ethnic terms, with no notice of how the murderers themselves have explained what they are doing.

So the very people who are supposed to tell us the truth — that the UN is broken, and no longer truly stands for human rights — can’t or won’t do so. Why? Are they so trapped in their old illusions about how the world works, and how to make peace, that they are in denial about the harsh realities of the post-9/11 landscape? It seems so.

The victims are the blacks of Darfur and southern Sudan, who continue to be murdered and enslaved by Islamic Arab fundamentalists.

The jihadists operate with impunity before a world that doesn’t dare give a name to the crime they are committing. How many more deaths will be needed before Annan and the human rights establishment admit the truth?
