Response in 'Dialogue' to: 'A Lawless World: How
Israel Gets Away with Murder'
In the Aug. – Sep. ’06 issue of “Dialogue”, professor
emeritus Rodrigue Tremblay of the University of Montreal, succinctly summarized
important facts behind the injustices in the Middle East, including the fact
that, under the 1837 Caroline Clause of international law, and the US position taken at Nuremberg
in 1946, aggressive warfare, under international law, is considered
illegal.
Apart from explaining that Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity fit into this illegal
category, Professor Tremblay, as an aside, also considers the US war of
aggression in Iraq, also fits.
Subsequent to receiving my copy of “Dialogue”, by separate e-mail, I received a
response to professor Tremblay’s claims, by Marvin Jason, who side
track’s professor Tremblay’s criticisms of Israel, by applying them
to the province of Quebec. He tries to justify his points with such specious
logic as comparing Israel ’s at least 5 Nobel prizes to Quebec’s
none!
Jason’s points, however true, are all diversionary red herrings
from the fundamental injustices to the Palestinians by Zionists, now, over some 60 years, including the
1947 UN Partition Plan, and then, with massive US help, producing the
progressive theft of Palestinian land now achieved by Israel.
The UN did not own the land it allocated to the Jews in its 1947
Partition Plan. Some 90% of that land belonged, as part of the country of
Palestine, to non-Jews. Palestine, the country, had been administered, as a
mandated protectorate, by Great Britain, under terms established under the
League of Nations in 1923, following the defeat of the Turks (allies of Germany
in WWI) by the British, Palestine had been part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire for
some 400 years before that. Britain, no more than the UN, did not own the land
of Palestine. Britain was mandated to administer Palestine until such time as
the Palestinians were deemed sufficiently able to administer it themselves.
Through repeated acts of terrorism against their personnel, the British withdrew from Palestine in 1948, and
the UN, assuming Britain ’s responsibilities, gave more than half the country to Jews in its
“Partition Plan”, to which the Palestinians were not a part, and to
which they did not agree!
THUS, THIS HUGE MIDDLE EAST PROBLEM, creating incredible injustice, and
the root cause behind the absence of peace.
So strong has been related media misinformation, including the claim by such as Israel Asper
in the National Post of August 18, 2003, page A12, that: “In fact, there never was
– and there isn’t now - any such thing as ‘Palestinian land.”, that many now believe that there
never was, and isn’t now, any such country as Palestine! Of such can be
the effect of propaganda lies. —Goebbels knew it well.
We have the Bible and a 1929 Atlas showing the country of Palestine, with
Jerusalem as its capital! I have seen Palestinian postage stamps! There is independent evidence that some 90%
of the land in Palestine was owned by non-Jews before 1947!
So much for Asper’s no Palestinian land!

Questions:
1. If the Allies in WWII, including Canada, were justified in
liberating Dutch and French land from Nazi occupation, why are other countries
not justified in liberating Palestinian land from Israeli occupation, now?
2. If it is wrong for Iran to have nuclear capability on Iranian
soil, why is it alright for Israel to have had nuclear capability on
Palestinian soil, low these many years?
3. If the Conservatives in Canada need more votes in the province of
Quebec to get a majority, why support the unjust position of Israel at the
expense of losing the support of the now significant French-speaking Sephardic
Jews and Muslim communities that have immigrated to Quebec from North Africa
who decry the injustices in Israel ?
