B2I nominated for Utne Independent Press Award

Congratulations!

Chris, congrats on the nomination! Worthy of it you are. Thanks for all the continuing updates too.

Congrats, Chris. You deserve that honor!

Thanks, all…. No way this could have happened without all of you.

Congratulations. You were the very first blog I ever read, which led me to finding more of them. My life and way of communicating has changed since then, and I now have a blog myself.

My the blogging continue! Keep up the good work. I’m glad you are being recognized for your work. You deserve it.

Fabulous Christopher!

I really appreciate you and your reports and it’s nice to see you are being honored for work exceedingly well done!

woo! congrats chris! i second everything everyone has said already ;)

Thanks all!

Way to go Chris! Congratulations!

You fucking liberals are all the same. Always blaming America for the world’s problems. Your self loathing disgusts me. Why don’t you move to Canada you fucking pacifist.

Oh my, Raging Dave.

How do you know which liberals you hate, if your raging is directed at the f—g ones? I defy you to specify a date upon which I was last seen doing such [f—g].

Seriously, get a vocabulary! Then some appropriate punctuation … then perhaps some self loathing would improve your mental health. To speak only for myself, I am blaming Scrub and his Lil’ Boyz Club for many of the world’s current, most pressing problems (along with the Raging Idiots who allow these Boyz to continue unchecked.) Not “America”, just Scrub & Club.

Christopher, you GO!

Congratulations, you’ve earned it!

THE ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY: ISLAMOFASCISM, JUDEOFASCISM AND CHRISTIANOFASCISM

Thanks to the desperate, failing war on “terror” vindicated by an “ideological” clique made up of hysteric neocons mixed with oil-smelling corporate satraps & poorly waged by the pathetic George II The Appointed -a caricatural christianofascist, everybody’s aware of islamofascism, ie: Oussama & Co.

However not everybody realises that judeofascism is islamofascism’s perfect double. In the youess, for instance, judeofascism is not even identified by the average youessan due to massive bushist brainwashing delivered by Pravda-like media: FoxNews, CNN & al.

Still the threat is known to France which has been the victim of a fastidious, two-year smear campaign pretending this country was the latest embodiment of nazism raised from the dead.

The slander has been pervertedly articulated thanks to false assumptions & naked forgery. True there have been SOME anti-Semitic acts of violence on the French territory, almost all of them related to Palestine-Israel-patterned hatred imported from the Middle East over to France’s muslim & jewish communities. That kind of radicalisation HITTING BOTH SIDES is conjectural by nature: it will disappear once Palestine is given its elementary status & rights in compliance with UN resolution n° 181 (29 November 1947) (1), among an endless litany of similar resolutions.

First bit of intellectual dishonesty displayed by France-hating judeofascists: anti-Semitic violence only is worth their selective indignation, not racist violence as a whole & certainly not anti-Arab or anti-muslim violence. Closed-up in their bigotry, judeofascists won’t hesitate to count all kinds of alleged disputes reported by angry neighbours or jealous competitors as a deed of anti-Semitism, as long as the “plaintiff” claims to be jewish… Anti-Arab acts of violence perpetrated by radicalised jews is of no interest, of course. It goes without saying that acts of violence are an Arab or muslim monopoly. Far-right jewish militias as the Bétar (2) are not denounced, not even mentioned.

Even more vicious is the odious amalgam aiming at making any Palestine supporters feel “guilty” of anti-Semitism. Anyone who sincerely thinks that it is the lack of a Palestinian State (for Atheist, christian & muslim Arabs) is the very root of intercommunitarian tensions, is automatically deemed to use a convenient alibi to spit out their anti-Semitic pulsions. If a Palestine supporter happens to be jewish or originates from a jewish background, then the guy is a “self-hating” jew !!! If a Palestine supporter happens to be an Israeli, then the guy is a traitor… One dare not think about a synagogue-going Israeli who’d be advocating a Palestinian State…The Union des juifs français pour la paix (French jews united for peace), a French jewish, Palestine-supporting organisation, are fought with ultimate adamancy before they could actually advocate their ideas; they are systematically attacked by the self-appointed ayatollahs of the most extreme fringe of the French jewish community. Even worse: Eyal Sivan, a French jewish, Palestine-supporting film-maker, was sent a 22-mm bullet in an envelope with a letter reading: “the next one won’t be sent by mail” !!! French jewish extremists -called sharognards in France (sharognard is homophonous with charognard, ie: carrion-eater (“carrionard”), vulture etc) due to Sharon’s credentials as a mass-murderer- feel now forced into ever increasing violence (verbal & physical) as the world finally acknowledge Israel’s foreign policy to be what it is: an unhuman occupation of Palestine & a very ominous portent for world peace (3).

Paradox: pointing out that neo-anti-Semitism DOES originate from Sharonist EQUATION of judaism with Israeli foreign policy, SHALL have you stigmatised by judeofascists as they refuse to acknowledge that their VERY behaviour is reinforcing that EQUATION. The most ridiculous instance of that paradox was brought by Jean Kahn -a former head of the CRIF (Conseil représentatif des institutions juives de France: Representative council of France’s jewish institutions)- as he demanded that any French jews “should identify themselves to Israel” (4) !!! No less… Israel’s colonial policy in Palestine must therefore neither be questioned nor even debated. If you do, then you will have to endure the wrath of Jean Kahn. If you are a pro-Palestinian jewish French, be prepared to face Monsieur Kahn’s fatwa & to be excommuniated by the CRIF. You will lose your jewishhood immediately & return at once to the simple state of vulgar Frenchhood. Judeofascists’ fatwas notwithstanding, many people refuse to associate the entire Hebrew people with a militaristic and greedy nation like Israel. They do not represent all jews by any means. Albert Einstein, a jew “by blood” (Agnostic by religion), deplored zionism and hated all forms of warfare and violence. To associate the entire jewish people with the police State of Israel and call it anti-Semitism to be anti-Israel is ludicrous & is insulting to non-Israeli Hebrews (whatever their religious obedience) -and is a form of outright racism. Monsieur Kahn & the CRIF are both concept hijackers & love to revel in their Stalinian shariah.

More witch-hunting: since “hippies”, “leftists”, “socialists” & “communists” are “the only ones” daring to claim that Israel’s policy in Palestine is a colonial one, then anyone disagreeing with ultralibéralisme in French (read: neoconservatism in English) is necessarily anti-Semitic. As a “consequence”, any greens, altermondialistes (another-world-is-possible activists), socialists & communists are labelled anti-jewish or jew-haters or judeophobes or even neo-nazis . Nice ideological wizardry, isn’t it? Now, according to that kind of “intellectual” imposture, christianofascists (Bush) & judeofascists (Arab-haters, Francophobes, Europhobes etc) all stand united in a new form of Stalinian McCarthyism which is actually their common shariah.

Welcome to the twenty-first century.

(1) UN resolution n° 181 - 29 November 1947

Palestine three-zone partition plan:

1. a 14.000-km2 “jewish”* State with 558.000 “jews”* and 405.000 Arabs
   

2. an 11.500-km2 Arab State with 804.000 Arabs and 10.000 “jews”*
   

3. an international-status zone (corpus separatum) including Jerusalem and Bethlehem with 106.000 Arabs and 100.000 “jews”*.
   
   

   Resolution enforcement deadline: 1 October 1948. For the the First Arabo-Israeli War broke out on 15 May 1948, resolution n° 181 could never be enforced.
   
   

   Votes of the UN General Assembly sitting in 128th Plenary Session.
   

   1. Approval: 33 States (including France, the USA & the USSR).
      

   2. Refusal: 13 States (Afghanistan, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Yemen)
      

   3. Abstention: 10 States (Argentina, Chile, China, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Honduras, Mexico, the UK**, Yugoslavia).
      
      

   *Please note that the brackets and the lack of a capital J for “jews” and “jewish” is a sign neither of anti-Semitism nor of antijudaism. For I don’t see why Atheists should be the only ones to be granted the privilege of being written with minuscules only, I’ve chosen not to use capital letter for religious obedience: jewish, christian, muslim, buddhist etc.. As for the brackets, they simply mean that the word “jewish” is utterly irrelevant to name the non-Arab population settling in Palestine: some “jews” were absolutely secularised, hence the contradiction.
   
   

   ** the UK was seeking -in vain- to maintain its declining influence thanks to disorders wreaking havoc upon Palestine.
