A New Israel in the making.

Date - 13/11/11

A new Israel in the making
The future is now. The revolution is in progress; just wait for what's to come.

One day not long from now we will wake up to a different kind of country, the country that's now in the making. It won't look like the country we know, which already has its share of flaws, distortions and ills. And when we become aware of this, it will be too late. At that point, the old Israel will be described in glowing terms, a model of democracy and justice, compared to the new version that is taking shape as we close our eyes to it, day after day, new law after law.

The way of life in the new Israel where we will live and die won't remind us in the least of the country we're used to. Even this article won't be publishable. Only proper opinions will be put into print, the ones approved by the new government-sponsored journalists' association, whose people will sit in every newsroom so there is no divergence from the accepted chorus of opinion.

Laws and regulations (clearly they will be passed as "emergency" regulations ) will bar publication of anything that could, in the eyes of the authorities, harm the state. A new law will bar defamation of the state, and the newspaper you will hold in your hands will be different. It will only report good news.

Radio and television broadcasts won't be what you're familiar with either. No media outlet will be able to go beyond the bounds of the law due to the draconian penalties for running afoul of them. The word "occupation" will be illegal, as will the expression "Palestinian state." Treasonous journalists will be pilloried or arrested, or at least fired. That day is not long in coming.

In the not too distant future, the urban landscape will look different. What is happening today in Jerusalem will play itself out in the whole country tomorrow, when the likeness of women will be banished from public view. Today Jerusalem, tomorrow the whole country. Separate buses and streets for men and women. Radio and television will only broadcast men singing. At some point, women will be required to cover their heads. Then it will be the men's turn. They will be barred from appearing clean-shaven or without a head covering. That day is not long in coming.

The cities will be shut down on Shabbat. Not a store or movie theater will be open. Then will come the ban on driving on Shabbat. Non-kosher restaurants will be illegal. Mezuzahs will be required on the doorpost of every room in every home. Couples not registered with the rabbinate will not be allowed to live together, and couples in which only one party is Jewish will be deported immediately. Unmarried couples will be barred from walking arm-in-arm in public.

Once a month all the country's schoolchildren will make solidarity visits to West Bank settlements. Every lesson will begin with the singing of the national anthem and a salute to the flag. Those who don't serve in the army will lose their citizenship and be deported.

And the Jewish state will have a Jewish Knesset. First Arabs will be barred from running for parliament in their own parties. Then they won't be allowed to be elected at all. Until then, MKs who at the beginning of every Knesset session don't sing the national anthem's words about the "yearning of the Jewish soul" will be permanently removed.

Arabs will be denied the right to a university education, with the exception of a symbolic quota approved by the Shin Bet security service. It will be illegal to rent to Arabs, other than in their own towns and villages, and the Arabic language will be banned. The poetry of Arab poet Mahmoud Darwish and his Jewish compatriots Aharon Shabtai and Yitzhak Laor will also be banned. Amos Oz, A.B. Yehoshua and David Grossman will have to decide. They, and all the country's citizens, will be required to declare themselves Zionists to get published.

The West Bank will be annexed, but the Palestinians living there will not be. Left-wing organizations will be made illegal and their leaders arrested. The government will publish a blacklist of those with offensive views who will not be allowed to leave the country or speak to the foreign media. Only someone who murders Jews will be deemed a real murderer, and the statute books will be divided into two parts, one for Jews and one for non-Jews. The death penalty will only apply to Arabs.

Special legislation will give settlers the right to take control of any land in the West Bank, and military censorship will ban any news item that could "harm the strength of the Israel Defense Forces." The Supreme Court will only serve as a court of appeals and will not consider direct petitions on civil rights violations. Supreme Court justices will be selected by the Knesset and slots on the bench will be reserved for West Bank settlers, rabbis and members of the party in power. Only religious justices will be able to serve as chief justice. Rabbis will have legal immunity similar to what MKs have. Any declaration of war or a peace agreement will need the approval of the Council of Torah Sages.

Actually, you don't need much imagination to come up with all this. The future is now. The revolution is in progress; just wait for what's to come. קראו כתבה זו בעברית: המדינה שבקרוב תהיה כאן

cheeers.

It's been building towards this scenario for some time;

http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/214830-just-14-pro-zionism-countries-remaining.html

http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/146463-weeks-israeli-terrorism.html

http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/197377-boycott-divestment-israel-part-2-a.html

http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...3407-case-terming-zionist-israel-fascist.html

However, I do believe that the fascist Zionist ship will sink. I just don't want it to go down full of American crew members.

 

And yet another, full of hope prediction, LoL. israel knows how to defend and protect itself, something it's Arab neighbors found out, again and again

 

I don't think so.
Just this week 3 judges of the supreme court of Israel:
2 woman and an Arab sentenced previous Israel president who is a religious Jew for 7 years in prison.

When will we see a supreme court in Saudi/Egypt or any Arab country consists of a Jew and two woman put the president/king in jail ?

 

The Zionist President is a convicted rapist. Show us an arab president who is even accused of rape before you attempt to smear the filth on the neighbors. Katsav epitomizes Zionist arrogance , corrupted by power and heaping brutalities upon those unable to defend themselves.

Anyway, you call 7 years in prison justice ?

 

Show me a supreme court in an Arab coutry where its head is a woman like Israel and I will show you many convicted top notch rapists.

 

What you've really just argued is that Israel believes that everyone is equal under the law, which is a primary building block for Democracy. The fact that a Arabic or Muslim President has not been convicted of rape tells me nothing about the condition of women or the consistent enforcement of rape in Muslim countries againsts its leader.

 

Shouldnt this be in the opinion section?

Besides the typical lack of original content, this doesnt seem to meet the latest world news criteria either.

But hey, its bashing the Jews errr Zionists so......let it ride

 

Original content ? when did you last post any "original content" ?

Grow up and Stop whinging.

 

May I remind you that Nazis also once made similar claims.

However can you quote any examples of any accustaion of rape against against any muslim leader , in recent history ?

I'm not saying it hasnt happened , its just that I've no knowledge of such accusations. Teach me .

 

'Israel' knows how to twist certain portions of the American political anatomy. On its own it would last till next Friday, as you know.

 

Every single post.....I follow the rules instead of randomly blanketing the forum with oped pieces followed by "cheers".

And whats 'whinging'?

 

Whining and moaning.

 

Im simply pointing out the obvious lack of standards regarding certain folks posting "styles"...and the bias inherent to the board.

 

BBC pumping out Israeli-Jewish Biased documentaries now.

Enter Rupert Murdoch, exit free press.

 

which aounts to Just -more - whinging (whining and moaning )

Go learn and Grow up.

 

On its own? what crap... did Americans fought alongside israelis in any of their wars? How about Soviets not helping Egyptian and other Arab allies in their wars against Israel? I've got news for you - Israel will be just fine on its own, next Friday and the Friday after that, unless nuked by Iran. That's why Iran' having nukes is not an option

 

The only ones who are talking about nuking anything, are followers of Israel. All of this "Iran nuke" propaganda is just silly Guilt-Complex dependent defense of Israeli illegal settlement expansions. Israelis figure that if they can fool gullible Americans and Europeans into believing that Israel is being threatened by a "new Nazi", then they'll forget about Israeli UN violations. I'll give this propaganda tool another 50 years of validity until its frequent misuse stops having an impact anymore. With Israel's luck, it will have ethnically cleansed all of the hated Semites from the region by then.

 

I know its hard for simpletons to piece together a simple statement of original content thats meant to provoke a debate...but these are the TOS, not my personal rules...so give it try.

Dont kill the messenger.

 

Do you by chance recall what Israel said after the June 1981 raid that destroyed Iraqi nuclear reactor? I'll remind you:

"Under no circumstances will we allow an enemy to develop weapons of mass destruction against our people."

Unless you tell me Israel should really consider Iran thy loving neighbor, I say israel is just being consistent in its desire to exist. World opinion be (*)(*)(*)(*)ed, if necessary.

 

Hmm. Dont you think my OP was intended to start a debate ? It was an extract from Haaretz of 13/11/11 and posted here on the same day - so what ?

Please go back to your post # 8

and tell me whether you werent - complaining/ moaning /whining


?????

....

 

Why not just follow the rules...are you a rebel?....a resister? You spend everyday whining about the Jews-so you calling anyone else a whiner is a bit of hypocrisy.

Youre welcome.

 

Seems to me that ' Relevant ' spends a great deal of time defending ' jews ' who aren't being attacked. Must be a role-play thang.


Down with Zionists, Relevant, jewish, christian, muslim or whatever.

 

Yes down with us. Death to Israel.
