Iran, Syria, Libya, Turkey Stage Palestine PR Event Nakba in Israel

Jerusalem ---- May 14, 2011 ...... It's not about Palestine or the Palestinians.

What the world is about to witness is event marketing at its very, oil funded best. Iran, Syria, Libya, Turkey and Qatar are now funding a PR diversion away from the hundreds of murders in Syria and Libya by government forces against pro democracy citizens and focusing on Israel.

Whenever Arab states are forced to confront poverty, disease and a total lack of basic human rights in their own countries they always use the Palestinians. They pour millions of rich oil dollars into PR campaigns to deflect from the suffering in their own totalitarian states to discredit the only free democracy in the Middle East - Israel.

The Nakba Day protests for Palestine are nothing less than a professional marketing charade. Instead of monies going towards new hospitals and the implementation of basic human rights for Palestinians living under terror group Hamas ruled Gaza, Arab oil money is going towards the throwing of rocks and terror attacks on peace seeking Israel civilians.

Nakba Day Palestine demonstrations were created to mark Arab protests against the creation of Israel in 1948. What almost everyone seems to forget is that the Arabs living in British ruled Palestine were offered their own state by the UN in 1948. They rejected having their own state, living in peace side by side with Israel, for joining Arab armies attacking the small democracy in the promise of having it all.

Desperate to have CNN, FOX, BBC, SKY, AP, AFP and Reuters to point their cameras away from government forces in Syria, Libya and Iran slaughtering thousands of people who are demanding freedom, democracy and peace, Arab PR terrorists are now using poor Palestinians to bleed for their governments.

No different than Turkey and Qatar trying to appease Islamic terrorists by paying the public relations firm Fenton Communications in Washington, D.C. to create the so called Gaza peace flotilla to break the so called siege of Gaza (no one is starving in Gaza - they receive tons of food daily by the UN and the Red Cross just stated there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza) - Syria and Iran are seeking to attack Israel to keep their own citizens under dictatorships.

No where in the Middle East is there a democracy which provides full respect and human rights for Palestinians other than Israel.

While at the same time, Syria, Iran and Libya pay poor Palestinians to throw rocks at Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops, Israel police and Jewish and Christian civilians. Palestinians who live inside Israel are happy people. They have full human rights, socialized medicine and equal opportunity for work and to serve in Israel's Knesset (Parliament).

Palestinians. Not because they lost a state that they rejected in 1948 and every day since. But because they allow themselves to be used by Syria and Iran for a day of lethal PR exercises while risking their lives, their family lives and a true and lasting peace in the region.

Iran, Syria and Libya are praying that Israel forces will kill some of the paid Palestine protesters in Jerusalem and in the West Bank. Once that happens, they would use that as an excuse to launch missile attacks against Israel cities from Gaza and Lebanon, again praying for a war against Israel that would take the media spotlight away from the murder and repression of their own citizens.

As the Arab Spring Revolutions for democracy take place, one cannot forget the many signs that were seen in Egypt just a few weeks ago.

These signs read: "Israel is not hurting me - my own government is bombing me. Please stop!"

Thousands rally in Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon for ‘Nakba Day’

Marches planned for Sunday in Gaza and along Israel’s northern and eastern borders.

Thousands rallied Friday in Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon ahead of “Nakba Day,” an annual day of mourning to commemorate Israel’s creation 63 years ago. Marches were held in the Jordanian capital and in the Jordan Valley, Egyptians protested outside Israel’s diplomatic offices in Cairo and Alexandria and Palestinian refugees demonstrated in Lebanon’s capital Beirut.

Five hundred people, many of Palestinian origin, marched in Amman demanding Palestinian sovereignty and the “right of return” for Palestinian refugees and their descendants to territory that is now in Israel, the Associated Press reported. Some of the protesters brandished keys they said once opened doors to homes left behind in what is now Israel.

Some 5,000 protesters gathered north of the Allenby Bridge border crossing, with similar protests planned for Sunday, Israel Radio reported.

Beirut’s Daily Star newspaper reported organizers expected 50,000 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon to march Sunday towards the villages of Bint Jbail and Maroun al-Ras on the Israeli border. The Israel Defense Forces has bolstered its troop presence along the northern border in anticipation of the march.

In Egypt, thousands rallied in Cairo in a Facebook-organized campaign aimed at marching all the way to Gaza.

“Egypt is Palestine. All Arab nations are Egypt,” a 20-year-old law student told the AP.

“This protest is not about forming an army and heading to Gaza. It is about pressuring our officials to support the Palestinians’ demands.”

In Egypt’s second city, Alexandria, thousands marched to the Israeli consulate after dawn prayers at one of the main mosques while chanting, “With our souls, with our blood, we redeem you, Palestine.”

“We are here today to show our support for the Palestinian cause,” said Muhammad Abdel-Salam, a 22-year-old activist on Friday.

“The victory of our revolution will not be complete without the liberation of Palestine,” he said.

Demonstrators said they hope their military rulers do more to help Palestinians following the overthrow of the country’s president Hosni Mubarak. Many Egyptians felt Mubarak, a US ally, was too soft on Israel and want their new government to take a much stronger pro-Palestinian stand.

The gatherings in Cairo, Alexandria and El-Arish come amidst preparations by activists to organize a march to the Gaza Strip on Sunday.

Egyptian authorities have banned the march, saying the timing was inappropriate given ongoing interfaith tensions in Egypt.

The government deployed army and police forces to prevent demonstrators from crossing the Suez Canal to Sinai, the route they would have to take to reach the Gaza Strip, witnesses said.

“We are demonstrating to show that the Palestinian cause is in the heart of all Muslims,” said Sameh Abu Bakr, an agriculture engineer, in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, which was decked with red, white, black and green Palestinian flags.

The square was at the epicenter of the February uprising that drove Mubarak from power.

One sign read: “The people want the opening of the Rafah crossing – fully and for good.”

Egypt has said it plans to open the crossing into Gaza permanently, but has yet to do so. Mubarak was accused of participating in an Israeli blockade on Gaza by shutting the border.

“We want to show the world the inhumane way Israel treats Palestinians,” said demonstrator Hassan Yusri, standing next to the Rafah sign.

Hundreds also marched in the Sinai resort town of El- Arish after Friday prayers, chanting pro-Palestinian slogans.

Egypt’s official MENA news agency quoted Mustafa Reda Amin, the secretary-general of a youth alliance that helped oust Mubarak, saying organizers contracted 20 buses to take demonstrators to Sinai.

One Egyptian security source said the authorities had decided to restrict entry to Sinai to commercial trucks and residents of the Sinai Peninsula and stepped up security on all access points to Sinai.

“We want to prevent large numbers of people from entering Sinai for the day of the Great March,” one source said.
