The Bloody Hands of the Peace Movement

Sat, Sep 27, 2003 at 10:32:23 am PDT

The antiwar protests in Europe don’t seem to be drawing the same large crowds this year. But here’s a sickening photo from the Berlin chapter, showing a Muslim woman wearing a Palestinian kaffiyeh, holding up a simulated “bloody” hand:

A woman holds up her red-painted hand as she protests against the US troops in Iraq and against the Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas at a demonstration in Berlin on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2003. About 300 people took part at the protest in the German capital. (AP Photo/Markus Schreiber)

She is commemorating an infamous incident of Palestinian savagery, in which two Israeli reservists were literally torn to pieces at a Ramallah police station by a frenzied mob:

This is how far the “peace” movement has degenerated in Europe, where terror supporters mingle with “antiwar activists” and no one even notices the insane dissonance.

I wonder if there will ever come a point where the civilized world realizes that Islam is not a religion in the traditional sense but a political ideaology like Nazism or Communism. Masquerading as a religion certainly has its strategic advantages.

The traditional religions (i.e. Christianity, Judiasm, Buddhism,...) have at their core a belief in the value of human life, compassion and good works whereas Islam encourages murder, destruction, nihilsm and subjugation. The U.S. government should enact a law that states that any group seeking to overthrow democratic governments through violence is not a "religion" but a political group.

I say let's put aside anger, indignation and outrage and get to work on first educating Americans that Islam is NOT a religion. Those of us that know exactly how evil and dangerous Islam is have a responsibility to educate or neighbors, friends associates.

Interesting article in the NY Times about conservatives in the academia.

Lonely Campus Voices


The most common advice conservative students get is to keep their views in the closet. Will Inboden was working on a master's degree in U.S. history at Yale when a liberal professor pulled him aside after class and said: "You're one of the best students I've got, and you could have an outstanding career. But I have to caution you: hiring committees are loath to hire political conservatives. You've got to be really quiet."

From Jerry S's link:

Israeli police have reportedly beaten Thabet Abas Assi, 23, a Palestinian who was photographed waving blood-drenched hands to a crowd outside the Ramallah police station during the torture of the Israeli reservists.

A beating? That's it? I know we in the West are not supposed to behave this way, but can anyone blame them?

An interesting piece, esp. for NYT. A Berkeley grad student once told me that there isn't much diversity of opinions among the faculty and grad students at Cal [on the subject of Iraqi war] because they are all smart.

For us WAR is HELL, for them TERRORISM is PARADISE.

It is pointless talking to people inspired by the very images of extreme savagery that sicken us. Given an opportunity, the blood on the bitch' hands would be real and ours.

What makes me really ill is not her red hands but the smug look of hatred on her face.

(Slightly OT) I'm having a lot of fun moonbat huntin at the NJ Indymediot website (NJ site is home of Abe Greenhouse) An example, moonbat article says:

by Lorna 10:52am Sat Sep 27 '03 (Modified on 11:14am Sat Sep 27 '03) Associated Press Writer
NEGAHOT, West Bank - A Palestinian gunman fired into a trailer home in this
hilltop Israeli settlement during Jewish New Year's festivities
This is horrible news.

But...WHY did we not hear about the 5 Palestinian children shot dead by
the Israeli Defense Forces this month?

All Children are important.

End the Occupation.
All settlements out according to UN 242#
Stop US tax dollar funding until Israel complies with International Laws.

I reply with:

Why? by Jacques Strap 11:14am Sat Sep 27 '03

Yes. WHY do we not hear about the Israelis blowing themselves up in Pali cafes? WHY do we not hear about the Israelis carrying out suicide bombings against Pali buses? WHY do we not hear about Israelis throwing rocks at Pali women and children as they pray at their most sacred mosques?

WHY do we not hear about muslim journalists getting decapitated by Israeli fundamentalists? WHY do we not hear about Israelis blowing up U.N. buildings in Iraq? WHY do we not hear about 19 Israelis hijacking planes and murdering 3000 Americans?

Clearly it is the pro-Jew media slant.

I couldn't agree more. Islam is not a religion. It is a cesspool of hatred and violence. There is no god named Allah. Mohammed was a pedophile.

I have lots of fun with my Islamic acquaintances.

22 militarybrat  Sat, Sep 27, 2003 9:41:16am

I wish I were still teaching (children other than my own, that is) so I could show my students these two pictures side by side and ask them for response.

Before the LLL college professors hijack their sensibilities.

As it is, I WILL introduce my oldest daughter to these pictures, side by side. I never speak bad about Islam in front of her. I just show her the evidence. She has made up her own mind.

It's amazing, but children aren't stupid unless you teach them to be.

Had a biff of a tiff with some LLL who showed up at my sister's b-day party. (No friend of my sisters)

My husband is sick of it...but I won't relent...He is even starting to tell people and some collegues at work.
He is disgusted by Islam, especially Muhammad...He has got four daughters, and the female genital mutilation, honor killings, and pedophilia, sicken him!

He asks me, why do I dwell on ths stuff...It is all anger and hatred...

Prepare for battle...
Spread the word...

I will not go "dhimmi" unto that good night!!!
Nor will my daughter...

24 AW  Sat, Sep 27, 2003 9:47:41am

A little something else to think about--from the latest issue of Foreign Affairs, a piece by one Marc Lynch:

[Link: www.foreignaffairs.org...]

[snip]
...Ironically, for this administration above all others, taking Arab public opinion seriously cannot be considered either a luxury or a concession to "Arabists" lurking in the bureaucracy. It is instead crucial to the success of the administration's own strategy, which links U.S. security to a democratic and liberal transformation of the region. The Bush team's practice, however, has worked against its stated goals, largely because it has been based on misguided assumptions about the Arab world.

One such assumption is that Arabs respect power and scorn attempts at reason as signs of weakness -- and so the way to impress them is to cow them into submission. Another assumption is that Arab public opinion does not really matter, because authoritarian states can either control or ignore any discontent. Still another is that anger at the United States can and should be disregarded because it is intrinsic to Islamic or Arab culture, represents the envy of the successful by the weak and failed, or is simply cooked up by unpopular leaders to deflect attention from their own shortcomings. And a final, increasingly common notion is that anti-Americanism results from a simple misunderstanding of U.S. policy. Together, these concepts have produced an approach that combines vigorous military interventions with a dismissal of local opposition to them, offset by occasional patronizing attempts to "get the American message out" (through well-intentioned but ineffective initiatives involving public diplomacy, advertising, and the promotion of radio stations featuring popular music). Not surprisingly, the result has been to alienate the very people whose support the United States needs in order to succeed.

#18 Cornholio--

Unfortunately, your reply is not good enough. You see, the logic of the other side is that Occupation is just as bad as murder of women and children. Jewish settlements, and the checkpoints, bypass roads, and fences needed to protect them, are just as evil as exploded discos, pizzerias, and bars. Worse in fact, because the checkpoints and the like serve to perpetuate the "illegal" Occupation and to interfere with legitimate resistance. That is the premise of the Roadmap, which puts "settlement activity" on a par with terrorism and posits that we cannot stop the one without stopping the other.

Life (activity, expressly including "natural growth") is just as evil as death (terror) according to the Roadmap. Not exactly what Moses had in mind when he famously cried out towards the end of his life (Deut. 30:19)

I call heaven and earth as witnesses! Before you I have placed life and death, the blessing and the curse. You must choose life, so that you and your descendants will survive.

In a putrid and cowardly straddle, the champions of the Roadmap ask us to refuse both.

What criteria does the author use to prove that neo con policies have failed? That people "don't like us"? Have they ever? What is his criteria for "success"?

Watch how tommorow we catch Saddam, and someday soon Bin Laden, and "experts" like this guy will crawl back under their rocks.

As far as I'm concerned, Bush has weathered 9/11, two successful wars, and the economy isn't an absolute shambles. That's pretty successful to me, though obviously the job isn't done, and won't be done soon.

But the Liberal opposition, always the ones to decry "simplistic solutions", are now the ones clamoring for those simplistic solutions. Absolute hypocrites.

actually the red hands are appropriate for those that back criminals and terrorists. after all they are the ones with innocent blood on their hands. and like a previous poster asked doesn't germany have a law against the nazi salute, hopefully someone over there can point that out to the local police and hopefully these facist supporters can be rounded up at dawn and be cited or charged on grounds of incitement.

35 niall  Sat, Sep 27, 2003 10:28:11am

Is the woman in the top photo subconsciously confessing something even as she tells herself that it is all about the evil Jews? Nah, that'd require a conscience.

Certainly war is hell. No argument there. But I have the funny feeling we aren't in agreement over who is at fault for all that spilled blood. I can't quite put my finger on it. Something about rejecting over 95% of what they asked for despite being on the losing team in several regional wars that they started... Help me out here!

36 RussSchultz  Sat, Sep 27, 2003 10:28:32am

Certainly if her red painted hand WAS commemorating such savagery, that is despicable.

But what, exactly, makes you think that she is?

I would have guessed that her statement was "you people who support the war have blood on your hands", or even "you supporters of Israel have blood on your hands", but not "Hey look at me, I'm at an anti-war demonstration and I'm support tearing people limb from limb"

While its certainly possible, it seems to be a stretch to make the connection simply based on visual similarities in two photos, especially when there's a much more straight forward interpretation of her statement.

37 Evariste's Zaide  Sat, Sep 27, 2003 10:30:18am

"Those who refuse to support and defend a state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be defined as "murder" in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be "Using a deadly weapon inside city limits," or "Creating a traffic hazard," or "Endangering bystanders," or other misdemeanor."

39 Robert Crawford  Sat, Sep 27, 2003 10:48:34am

The fact is, the "peace" movement since WWI has been about three things: self-aggrandizement, support of dictators, and hatred of western free societies. The assumption shouldn't be that "peace" protestors are against violence, but that they are in support of violence against the socities they are in.

The idea of a terrorst supporter marching in a "peace" protest is not shocking; here in the US, supporters of mass-murderers march in "peace" marches all the time. Hell, the anti-war protestors during Vietnam openly expressed their admiration for -- and desire to emulate -- Mao.

Taken out of context, your interpretation may seem reasonable, but there IS a context when you consider the organizers and participants of this "peace" rally: radical Islamists, aging Marxists, and black-masked anarchists, none of whom see "peace" the way the rest of the civilized world sees it. They are, in fact, promoting revolution. They see the "brave, brave, brave Palestinians resisting" the "vast, evil Zionist military machine" as the embodiment of their revolutionary ideals, violence being the purest, "necessary" form of "resistance". And besides, you'd have to have been living in a cave the last 3 years NOT to have seen that other picture.

Yesterday on a highway overpass close to where I live, there was a protest. It was maybe 6 people strong--from the banners they were all either gay activists or Communists--and they were protesting against the liberation of Iraq. As I drove past them, the cops were just showing up. It would have done my heart good to stick around and watch those trustafarians being unceremoniously removed from the area, but I had to get home.

Strange, strange bedfellows, that gay people would protest in favor of these despotic Muslim regimes, when those regimes would happily drop buildings on all gay people.

I find the dhimmis in the background even more disgusting than the bloody wench of Muhammed.

Of course she supports Islamists and Islamic murderers of non-muslims, she's 'in the fold', but those people in the background, being free people, should know better.

What is wrong with them, that they cant see the truth, when its staring them right in the face? Day after day.
I just cant understand them.
The only thing I can think of is they will not accept the truth, they choose not to.
Which is even more troubling, it's easier to think maybe they just dont realise the truth yet, or havent learned enough about Islam and its threat to the world, but lately I think maybe they do know the truth, they just reject it by choice.
People like that do as much, and probably more damage, that the Islamists.

Their sign says war is hell...I think living in oppression,misogyny,rape,torture,honor killing,baby factory for the "cause",religiouspolice,amputation,floggi
ng,stoning,sex slavery,pedophilic,master faith Islamic "peace" would be more of a hell.

The only point I'm trying to make is that the leap to assume she's a Muslim -- entirely reasonable leap -- has not been supported by anything I've seen on the record.

There are Arab Christians, you know. Druze. And others of different sectarian persuasions.

Druzes are not Arabs. Do not make that mistake when a Druze is physically nearby. And calling the Druze religion a "sectarian persuation" must be one of the fastest and most efficient suicide methods known to mankind.

I personally can attest to the fact that Germany is lousy with the Muslims. You can't go anywhere, out to a club or just walking in a city after dark, without running into crowds of Turkish or Arab thugs.

There are certain clubs, in Bitburg and Trier, both cities close to where I live, where you just don't go because of the thugs. I went to one and got molested. It took three of my (very large and unruly) friends to get rid of this Turk, because the guy wouldn't take no for an answer and kept coming back. The question he wasn't taking no for an answer to wasn't 'will you dance with me', it was 'I'm going to feel you up and there's nothing you can do about it'.

Here is a good one by Steven Plaut from his blog.

Sure we think that if Palestinians have legitimate grievances this entitles them to mass murder Jews. But that does not mean we have anything against Jews as such.

Naturally, we think that the only people on earth who should never be allowed to exercise the right of self-defense are the Jews. Jews should only resolve the aggression against them through capitulation, never
through self-defense. But that does not mean we have anything against Jews as such.

We only denounce racist apartheid in the one country in the Middle East that is NOT a racist apartheid country. But that does not mean we have anything against Jews as such.

I work at SpangQuentin. Bernkastel is really close to me, and it's a cute little town, but I don't even bother going to the wine fest there. I don't bother going to any of the fests. The reason is I get molested at all of them. The first year I was here I went to all the fests. Getting fondled by strangers (sad to say, but as often as not, by Americans) got really old really fast.

I hear ya. It's easy to see the "ugly American", I saw that firsthand the first time I went to a nude beach. Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time there.

Funniest thing I saw in Germany was at the annual Ramstien AB airshow. The usual useful idots would show up and have a die-in, complete with fake blood. I saw a 92 year old man beating one of the protestors, after the protestors were arrested, I talked to the elderly man for a few minutes. He told me the reason he beat the protestors with his cane was because they had no idea of what the allied forces saved Germany from in world war 2. He was yelling and cursing them in German while beating them laying on the ground, funny as hell to replay that in my mind, even today! LOL

That was usually the way it was, the younger Germans were against the US being there, the elderly Germans knew why we were there still. After less than 60 years, the Germans are going back to the mentality of the 1930's once again. Only worse, now that the islamofacist are there also...

I wish you well and nothing but the best. Just make sure you keep someone you trust close by when traveling offbase.

Thanks for the advice, but your little tip about running tells me you've never been to a German wine/beer/pig fest before. Seething (not the Pali kind of seethe, though) masses of humanity. There is nowhere to move, you're literally crushed up against hundreds of people and you move as a group, and drunks take advantage of the proximity of bodies to let their hands wander where they have no business being. Best way to avoid it is simply to not go. That's the only way, actually.

When I was over there, I had to check under my car seat everytime I went offbase. The Bader-Meinhof gang would put bombs under the driver's seat of cars with American plates. Not to kill you, but just mess you up.

I hardly ever went offbase after 6 punks jumped and robbed me. Afterwards a friend taught me some oriental street fighting. He and I went and found them, they tried to jump me again...needless to say, the 6 lost against two. We also took THEIR money that night, plus leathers and EVERYTHING they had on. I wonder how they explained to the Polzei why they were naked, if they got caught walking naked... (The "good ole days"!) LMAO

In a way Eddie Said was right, that the west will never understand the islamic world.

The reason is that the west's morals are the exact polar opposite to that of islam, they were never meant to exist together. fuck understanding.
For example:

"Evil westerners" believe that the rape of women who do not obey or get caught not wearing a tarp is misanthopic, repulsive, sadistic, evil, and sick, instead as muslims see it; a freakin' moral obigation. Demonstaiting the polar morals: The western definition of rape, is called women's rights in islam.

Whenever a muslim talks about, the US/Mossad/West have come to "rape are women", what are they talking about then? Its a fucking joke.

Holy crap, somehow I'm a leftist. Wow. And if I go to Indymedia I'm a fascist. Maybe I'm getting something right.

Painting your hands red in protest is to say "you have blood on your hands" is the common thing I was talking about, not painting your hands red in general. That's obviously not common.

I question the logical conclusion of having her hands being painted red and her supporting the lynching that happened. Sure, she might, but there's zero logical proof that she does.

I mean, there's photos with president Bush mid wave, looking like he's doing the Hitler salute thing, and that's one of the most asinine comparisons I've ever seen made by Bush-haters. And you do the same thing with her!

Photographical simularities do not offer logical proof of idealogical ones.

The real irony is that Charles - the man who loves to find 'bias' in the news agencies' reports (including the contorted 'IDF force kids through security fence' suggestion), has no difficulty whatsoever in self-assuredly linking a german 'blood on their hands' protest with one specific instance of bloody hands in Palestine years beforehand.

from the same protest:

In Berlin, police said about 400 people turned up near the Reichstag parliament building.
       ''We shouldn't help the Americans with money for reconstruction when they bombed Iraq,'' said Carlotta Wendt, 14.
       Daniel Compart, a 19-year-old apprentice at a petrol station, painted his hands red to symbolise the blood he said was on U.S. hands over Iraq.
       ''It is important that ordinary people still say they are against the war even though it is over,'' he said.

Good way to stay on topic Mr. Fist.

First, I'm not debating whether she's a leftist. It seems rather apparent that she is, as they seem to be the people who generally show up at protests and protest. How does her being a leftist lend credence to the fact that she is, as a fact, painting her hands as a means to pay homage to the Ramallah lyncher?

Next, you remand me on my spelling. Which is obvious that you don't have anything else to say because I only mispelled one word in the post.

If you can't figure out which words are mine, and which words are yours, you've got bigger problems than my inability to spell one word.

Neo_con:
I agree, I think the "peace" protestors have been unwittingly co-opted by terrorists and dictators. They are kneejerk against anything republican/conservative, so lately they're really doing some moral gymnastic doubletakes in supporting what Bush is against and it makes them look pretty damn silly.

But the fact that peace protestors are unwittingly supporting terrorists and dictators by being against what the administration does, doesn't lend credence to this lady was actively supporting the lynching in Ramallah.

I'm all for showing bias in the media, and the insanity within many portions of modern Islam, but making shit up and baseless accusations aren't the way to go about it.

Just like the "Leftists" won't sway any minds by chanting "Bush is a war criminal"; Charles won't sway any minds by painting every muslim as a blood thirsty savage. Especially when he's using rather transparent means of accomplishing that.

This woman is probably Arab, possibly Palestinian (from the kaffiyeh, although that doesn't prove it), almost certainly Muslim (from the black hijab she's wearing), and politically active enough to take part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration that is explicitly timed to commemorate the intifada.

The Ramallah lynching photo was broadcast around the world, and it's an incident that Palestinians have celebrated and emulated before. Yet some of you want us to believe that she is completely unaware of this and that the congruence of her red hands and the Ramallah lynching photo is nothing more than a coincidence.

The Ramalah lynching photos are infamous/notorious in the Non-Arab world, but very famous and celebrated in the Arab/muslim world. Witness the palestinian soldier emulating the lynching with his own bloody hands (see post #143). So it's not beyond the realm of possibility that the lady above, possibly palestinian, is doing the same.

Still, Mr Pol, it some of the fellows here don't realise that all this hatred expressed against Europeans due to the action of 300 fools, plenty of them not even European but Arab, actually alienate your future friends, then we, both Americans and Europeans, are in for great trouble in the future.

Really, man, three hundred people! The Anti-war demonstrations in American cities draw plenty more!

Good bye for now as I'm heading for dinner!

I am new to this site but what cracks me up as an American is the fact that liberals, aclu etc. are fighting a war against Christians in the US. Wait til those savages who profess a believ in Islam get over here in real numbers. Do you think they will allow a separation of church and state? Do you think any ACLU lawyer or his/her family will survive a lawsuit or trial with those lunatics?

JohannaV just doesn't get it. She appears to be one of those smug and self-righteous Europeans who doesn't seem to see anything wrong with spitting on the US... it is we Americans who are 'alienating our future friends' by refusing to take being spit on anymore.

The money quote:

And what is this business about future friends, anyway? We were past friends, but the actions and rhetoric of the 'Old' Europeans have made us... umm... how shall I put it... redefine our tolerance of those people. Don't hold your breath, Johanna, hoping that I'll be your friend in the future. Ain't gonna happen.

Really? Can you please bother to actually read my post before answering?

"Don't hold your breath, Johanna, hoping that I'll be your friend in the future. Ain't gonna happen."

I quite agree. I don't see any future possibility of our friendship, Formely Stormi. I select my friends and liars and hate mongers just don't qualify.

What neither the AP photographer nor anybody here has noticed is that the woman on the picture of the Berlin rally wears an Ordner armlet, i. e. she is one of the persons the police required the organizers to employ to keep order among the participants of the march. Nevertheless, if someone had asked policemen to take out that woman because of doing the Nazi salute he would probably have got the reply (if any) that it is done with the right hand, not with the left as she does.

We were about 100 protesters at a "Remember Ground Zero - Fight Fascism" counter-manifestation at the other bank of river Spree, where I delivered a speech against Fischerism. We were joking there whether we should ask the police to have a look under the jackets of some Arab youths with Arafat shawls lurking near us, but I hadn't expected that they'd play it that authentic like on that foto. Given the impression of the rally as whole, there can be no doubt to the Ramallah connection Charles brought up. When they saw our flags and our big banner "Behind the call for peace there hide the murderers" they started coordinated shouting "We all are Palestinians".

indymedia Germany carries more fotos from that Nazi rally, including some showing what was visible of our protests over the river. In fact, it's good news that they were only 300, not 300.000 like last Februar. Gerhard Schröder hadn't called, so only the diehard antiimperialists were on the street.

''In a counter-demonstration about 80 people waved Israeli and U.S. flags. "We support Israel and America because they are fighting Islamist and Baathist fascism," said Thomas Mueller.'' (CNN)

speech there: "Die Vereinten Nationen und der deutsche Weg - Anmerkungen zur Begegnung von Gerhard Schröder mit George W. Bush am 24.09.2003"
