Comment: Kudos to Robert. I just read in a new book on Ramparts magazine (“A Bomb In Every Issue!”) how after his article on the ’67 war Ramparts lost a million dollars in promised monetary support. He might recall how Marty Peretz was one of those funders.

Comment: There’s almost no connection, and that goes back 43 years, when Gaza was occupied. The media has refused to recognize it as what Jimmy Carter called it, an apartheid, and not just Gaza but the entire area, where people are denied their fundamental rights. Somehow the media looks the other way.

How can Israel block its borders from weapons smugglers, without the use of violence? – Attack on Gaza Aid Flotilla

9:10 Robert Scheer

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 17:10:41 GMT
Comment:

Because Israel has become a state that relies almost exclusively on military force to treat what is basically a problem of self-determination and human rights. The idea is if you use this overwhelming military force that Israel has, that mocks the idea that it needs to do this for defense. If you rely on military force rather than diplomacy, decency, negotiation, you become a militarized nation and you define yourself that way.

Comment:

Reader question: Israeli troops have attacked a flotilla of aid-carrying ships off the coast of the Gaza Strip, killing as many as 19 people on board. These attacks, along with Israeli attacks on Gaza, harm America’s reputation and credibility. As a result, Americans are more likely to be targeted from extremists and armed groups, especially those who live outside U.S. America is not Israel, and Israeli policy does not represent, or even go along with, American policy. Therefore, Americans should not pay the price from their safety and reputation.

Comment:

Of course, there’s no question that Israel has resisted any serious international presence to preserve the peace. The irony here is that Israel didn’t find a single weapon on these ships. So the idea that this was a military threat is not supported by the facts. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that if you deny people their rights, they rebel. You must end the occupation, recognize their right to sovereignty, and that is what Israel has resisted up until today.

Comment:

Because the right-wing ideologists in Israel are in power. This is no longer the Israel of the old Labor Party, which was capable of being rational. Netanyahu is a zealot, believes in a Greater Israel which will control these areas, and they believe that the way to peace is to destroy a viable Palestinian society. For example, Turkey was the best ally that Israel had in the Muslim world, and to kill 8 citizens and to destroy relations with the one country you had joint and close relations with is suicidal.

Comment:

His admittance seals his place in American history as a betrayer of the basic ideals of the country. If America’s experiment in democracy means anything, it is that we believe in limited power and that means basic rights in due process for individuals, and Bush’s philosophical argument would be considered obscene by the founders of this country, who argue that the difference between us and the kind was our respect of the rule of law and the opposition to the right to power, and clearly Bush feels that he had that. It has been shown waterboarding did not solicit anything significant, and the biggest problem is that we can’t bring these people to trial in front of the world because Bush has destroyed the necessary legal process.

Comment: Scheer — having been a backer of Obama in the primary and contemptuous of Nader, have you reassessed your attitude towards third parties? Sorry, but within the two-party system, Israel will always be free to do as they wish, and if you still think the Democratic Party will ever embrace a progressive agenda, you’re being willfully ignorant.

Comment:

Well, one irony in the Ralph Nader experience, as much as I respect him on almost every issue, he was hardly outspoken on the Mideast despite being of Lebanese origin. The problem is to suggest to make American policy as rational as European, I think is not true. More people recognize that giving Israel a blank check is disruptive to America’s interest. The real allies of this will be those people, including American politicians who bring pressure on the Israeli way, to open up normal business activity, open up Gaza and be serious to peace negotiations.

I can’t speak for lefties and libertarians, but I will tell you that I and a few others have favored interventions to prevent genocide and other such anti-human atrocities, as long as they are done internationally and on a principle basis, why wouldn’t one favor it. The problem is that Israel is rejecting an international investigation, let alone international troops, and I feel international help should be brought in play. I favor the democratic way and I feel peace is necessary here.

Comment: Hi Robert, big fan. I listen to you on “LRC” all the time. Question: How come none of you ever give a forum to discuss the views of economists like John Galbraith and Dean Baker who have an entirely different take on the federal deficit? Specifically, that it is not a problem at all, and that government spending greater than tax receipts simply represents net savings injected into the private sector. You seem to buy into the notion that the deficit is a big problem, but surely you must be aware that there are some heavyweight economists out there who disagree strongly.

Comment:

(Answering Kent) Well, I don’t disagree that in a time of deep recession, one has to spend more money to help the people that are suffering. I am all for spending money that would help people get out of their mortgages. I am opposed to them spending money to help Wall Street and increase the deficit. The two positions are not contradictory; debt is bad because it will rob future generations of the ability to spend money on needed programs. It is happening right now with the cut on teachers’ salaries and needed programs. If the debt will help society, that is OK, but unfortunately that is not happening and the money is falling into the wrong hands.

Comment: Robert — My main concern these days is the way in which the media spends its every waking moment concocting (not practicing journalism) a wide variety of ridiculous narratives. Just look at the way in which the Gulf tragedy is now being framed as a problem with “Obama’s lack of outrage,” or the flotilla affair being treated as the typical “Poor Little Israel vs. the World” story. It is fairly obvious that the media is far more devoted to manufacturing bullshit headlines than actually doing its job. Have we truly succumb to Niel Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death”?

(Answering mrfreeze) Ever since the rise of commercial broadcast news, particularly on a local level, even the old-line newspapers betrayed their obligation to do serious reporting. The Iraq war was certainly an example, with the NY Times. The current situation is not as depressing thanks to the Internet; though there is a lot of garbage out there, there is also a lot of truth, not playing on the title of this website, but it is out there.

We know and have known for a long time that both parties are strongly influenced by the Jewish lobby. Why do we allow such a strong international lobby to have any influence on American Interest? Are we really that ignorant of various powers within our govt? My bet is a certain YES!

(Answering Cris) Well, you know there is a Jewish lobby, there’s AIPAC, but there are plenty of Jews in this country, and I happen to be one of them, who want a more sensible policy in the Mideast. I think that any true friend of Isreal, Jewish or not, would recognize that this policy of continuing apartheid is as disastrous as white South Africa, and it will not last. The so-called Israeli lobby is lost. I suspect a majority of American Jews can see that, and I can see that Israel will have to shift course at this time because most Israelis don’t want to live in such hostility. Not only is the Israeli policy immoral, it is bankrupt.

I think the non-response of this administration has disgraced America in the eyes of the world. You can’t have it both ways, you can’t be a champion of human rights everywhere except for Gaza, you can’t. It doesn’t compute for people, and for this government to speak up on issues about the world and to be silent about something, as I said in my column, to be an act of terrorism. To invade international waters and kill 9 people is a complete act of terrorism. It isn’t any different from what happened in Tiananmen Square. There was nothing on these boats that threatened Israel, and for the U.S. to chew out everyone in the world, the leader of Russia for not treating the people of Chechnya well, and to give Israel a blank check, seriously compromises the U.S.’s position to bringing peace.

(Answering JewCrewAllStars) Well the U.S. did take many actions they claimed were going to counter terrorism but they were ineffective, we coddled Saudi Arabia and yet to this day have not had a boycott or any pressure against them. Afghanistan and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and we are waging enormously expensive wars against these countries and this has nothing to do with fighting terrorism, but we should recognize that it doesn’t arise on its own, it is always a lot of grievances that arise. Whether talking about Irish Catholics and Chechnyan Muslims and, in the case of Israel’s occupations of the Palestinian people, that has been a major source of fuel against American terrorism. And it seems to me many Jewish Americans, I think 3/4th of them, voted for Obama on the idea that he would be a peacemaker. He presented himself as a peace candidate against the Iraq war, and i think Jewish Americans should recognize that peace will bring safety, not militarism.

Comment: But they also refute the notion that future generations will have to pay off the debt. Historically, they never have — the debt just gets rolled over and as long as the U.S. is a going concern it can continue indefinitely. They argue that since the gov’t issues its own currency, the gov’t doesn’t even have to issue public debt at all to “fund” its spending. That practice is a hangover from the gold standard, where money was backed by a commodity. With a purely fiat currency such as we have now, the government will always be able to spend. They argue that the only real constraint is inflation, which in a properly managed economy can only happen after full employment is reached.

Dear all,

Organisers of the flotilla have informed me that all communication has been lost with the boat ‘Rachel Corrie’, en route to Gaza with 15(?) passengers including Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire, and medical supplies. Spotting mechanism, Sat. phones and radio all out of order/jammed since last night, apparently.

It is unclear where the boat is (probably about 200 miles from Gaza) and in what direction she is heading. Israeli headlines (Haaretz, YNet) aired identical items saying that ‘the organisers’ had decided to turn back to Ireland but the organisers (from here) say they never decided this or said this. There is a chance that Israeli forces could take over the boat in complete media/radio silence under the cover of this misinformation.

May I suggest that you forward this to others, and see if you can get people to contact parliamentarians, government representatives, voice concern about the passengers’ safety, and ask them to contact their representatives in Israel. Who knows, perhaps this might avert another catastrophe.
