Keeping it Real…

Just say the words “Israel”  or “United States” and, at the drop of any issue,  all kinds of  intelligent, educated “concerned” citizens, unions, professional and activist groups are ready, willing and eager to issue statements, pass condemnatory resolutions and parade through the streets with placards and sometimes, burn their national flags.  

But why are we all so silent about Arab League barbarism?

In just the past few days:

The Arab League has once more disgraced itself, this time trying to stall any legal moves by the International Criminal Court against Sudan’s murderous dictator Omar al-Bashir. More than 300,000 Darfur men, women and small children have been brutally slaughtered by Sudan’s Arab government forces and Arab militias … just because they are Africans, not Arabs.  (Even though they, like their Arab countrymen,  are Muslims.)

Pause for a moment and remember each of these lives and their families: 300,000 people killed by their own government because they are not of the right “ethnic” background. Darfur IS a holocaust!

Hundreds of thousands of Darfur refugees are now living in desert tents supplied by the UN, after their villages were attacked, bombed and many of their families shot, or slaughtered by machete,  and many the women and young girls were raped before being killed.

Darfur is today’s current world place of genocide … and after too many years of delay and investigation, the International Criminal Court finally gathered enough evidence to announce last week it will lay charges against Sudan’s dictator.

But the Arab League is now trying to stop any charges from being laid: they (almost all of them dictators themselves) want to hold a conference instead. Have they forgotten that al-Bashir has repeatedly ignored agreements he and his government have already signed, that were supposed to open the gates of his hell to allow in foreign aid and adequate supplies. And thousands more have died during all the delays.

Frankly, I am not surprised by the Arab League and its latest barbaric stand.  But why do so many people just accept it?

And not just in Darfur.

A BBC report Sunday revealed there are now seven people in Iran awaiting stoning to death after being found guilty of adultery. And an Iranian Human Rights advocate said that, in at least five of these cases, there is a very good chance the sentence will be carried out.  (Iran last year DID stone an allegedly adulterous woman to death.  It also executed by hanging three young men, whose only crime was that they were gay and had allegedly engaged in sodomy).  The Arab League has done nothing to condemn/stop it.    

And only days ago, in Lebanon, the country’s TOP political leaders (not just Hesbollah officials) welcomed back with HUGS AND KISSES a terrorist who had been imprisoned in Israel (not executed) for shooting a father to death during a raid … and THEN DELIBERATELY BLUDGEONING TO DEATH HIS THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH HIS RIFLE BUTT.

Barbarians! But the Arab League said nothing. And too many here stayed silent as well.

People die in wars; civilians are too often innocent victims … yes of the United States, Israel, Canada and other Western nationas too during military operations.  But we do not deliberately target innocent civilians and when it does happen, at the hands of some miscreants,  we do investigate and often lay serious criminal military charges in such cases.  We do NOT celebrate such actions with candy and kisses. Only the barbarians do.

Of course, there are millions and millions of Arabs around the world who find the actions of the Arab League and the extreme religious nuts who hold power in many countries just as repugnant as we do. But those who are reasonable are clearly not sitting in positions of power at the tables of the Arab League.

Meanwhile,  in just the time you have read this, more innocent Africans have DIED in the miserable conditions of Darfur, victims of their own Arab countrymen,  just because they are Africans, not Arab. The genocide continues.

To hell with the dictators of the Arab League and their excuses, posturing and delays. 

It’s time all those individuals and organizations so quick to condemn the United States, Israel and even Canada started denouncing the Arab League and their Arab leaders LOUDLY AND PUBLICLY for exactly what they are: BARBARIANS.
