The political "death sentence" on Hosni Mubarak

The end of the Mubarak regime now seems doomed. Israel had initially defended the pharaoh still solid, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu changed his mind now. Whether it is also suitable, conditions for a future democratically legitimate government on the peace treaty of 1979 to provide, may be doubted. Obama was in his statements still undecided, but a few days ago, Israel had to be requested by the United States and European countries to support the Pharaoh on the Nile at all costs. Today was the pragmatic turn. Suddenly the continued occupation of the Palestinians to the top of the supporters of the democracy movement in Egypt. President Obama and his "willing accomplice" in Europe will recognize the signs of the times and finally determined to demand the departure of their satraps on the Nile.

The following sets of Netanyahu in the Knesset has to dissolve on the tongue can be: "All those who value freedom are inspired by the calls for democratic reforms in Egypt (...) An Egypt that will adopt these reforms will be a source of hope for the world. As much as the foundations for democracy are stronger, the foundations for peace are stronger. " Such sentences particularly surprised by a politician whose Country for over 43 years to suppress another people on the worst one. Forgetting is suddenly oppressive policies of Israel with the Egyptian autocrats against the Palestinian people. Since the Israeli government of years of uncertainty in Egypt starts, Netanyahu called for a "support for Israeli power." This is a reference to Obama and the Western European clients, to support Israel even stronger militarily. Of course I did not miss Netanyahu's demonization of Iran and the Islamists. "Our real fear is of a situation that could develop and ... Which has already developed in several countries including Iran itself - repressive regime of radical Islam," and he continued, "in a situation of chaos, of organized Islamist body can seize control of a country. It happened in Iran. It happened in other instances". Why does not care about its Netanyahn Jewish extremist rabbis who preach an open racism against all the Goyim (Gentiles) in Jewish fatwas or to its right-wing nationalist foreign minister, Mubarak has ever wished the hell?

see When the U.S. and the western allies finally, that Israel's interests which are diametrically opposite of the West? Israel imaginary enemies are not automatically "enemies" of the West. Who has the emergence of the so-called terrorist organizations in the Middle East much contributed? Israel through its colonial policies in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories. Only after the invasion of Israel in 1982 in Lebanon and the establishment of a so-called security zone in the south of the country saw the establishment of Hezbollah. Only after the brutal suppression of the first Intifada in 1987 was Hamas. Through its senseless and politically irresponsible 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon are over 1 000 Israeli soldiers died for nothing, before Ehud Barak had started in May 2000, the hasty flight from Lebanon.

The Americans take maybe a larger debt because they are illegal under international law a protective hand over Israel Politics have held, although they knew that its policy against all "Western values." The U.S. has been with the fundamentalist regime in Saudi Arabia and the Pakistani secret service, the midwife of al-Qaida. At that time, but it went against the Soviet Union, now I use the bogeyman al-Qaida, a war against Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, and perhaps soon to lead against Iran. Maybe they should leave the U.S. and the West to disarm ideologically and influence no longer Israel's obsessive enemy.

an insight into the completely skewed view of Zionist-Israeli analysts are of the post by Ari Shavit . It would be disastrous, would line up Western policy in it. Maybe ask yourself once Shavit, which have helped the Israeli occupation policy and its blind support of the protective power of the USA to the decline of the West of a "betrayal of Mubarak" to speak from the West, the evidence of an Israeli-ethno-centric view of international politics, no one understands . represents a completely different position, however Bradley Burston , and corresponds to more Western-democratic thinking. He writes to resist the Israeli obsession with the Egyptian democracy movement constitutes a threat to Israel.

But the main problem seems Israel's so-called American Zionist brethren to be. If Malcolm Hoenlein , the influential executive vice president of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, "Mohammed el-Baradei as a" Stohmann Iran "means, then you can guess the Israeli government only to protect themselves from such friends. Netanyahu seems politically wiser than some representatives of the "Israel lobby" to be in the United States.

The West should now follow the example of Netanyahu and finally put to the forefront of the democracy movement in Egypt, so he could regain some of its lost credibility, he has lost on the altar of blind Israel Solidarity, "national security" or "Western interests" by the pact with autocrats, despots and dictators. A democracy in the classical Western sense of the region would place the exclusive right of Israel to this patent the right light. The first democratic experiment in Palestine was prepared by the West in a military coup to an abrupt end. It could not be that a "terrorist organization" has been elected in free, equal, secret and universal suffrage to power. This example would have too much broadcast on the Arab despots and other "western interests" contradicted.

Moses, the Pharaoh and Israel

According to legend, Moses led the Israelites out of captivity of the Egyptian Pharaoh in the vicinity of the "Promised Land", Palestine, and today is a part of the State of Israel. This religious parable could be seen for what it is: religious devotional literature. Since the publication of the book by Shlomo Sand on "The Invention of the Jewish people" is well known that there has never been such and it is an invention, hence the talk of exile and return to 1948 is also a legend, a myth that been created by the Zionist movement. After John Rose David Ben-Gurion, first Prime Minister of Israel, "the greatest myth maker" was.

a certain political currency received this "religious" legends, however, by recent developments in the realm of the new, American Pharaoh, called Hosni Mubarak. He is to American reading an "anchor of stability", although he is a dictator. Also, the State of Israel is one of the dictatorial regime of his closest allies, although the Israeli political elite also means to be a "Jewish and democratic" state. The whole world is in favor of separation of this dictator, only the Israeli Government calls on U.S. President Obama, to get behind a dictatorial regime and to support it. Is not it an irony of history that has Moses once led the Israelites out of bondage to Pharaoh in the freedom to express and present the alleged descendants of Moses to the preservation of a dictatorship of the modern pharaoh of his own people? What to say to the Egyptian slaves and subjects that this should have led by those who are used to escape the bondage of the Pharaoh? The future ruler of Egypt determined that the "Israelites" is not forgotten.

The desire for freedom of the Egyptian people has nothing to do with Islamic to do fundamentalists or the "dark" machinations of Iran, as the Israeli government claims to resistance by the West against its own interests and principles and thus to mobilize against the democracy movement. Chancellor Angela Merkel, this one has been whispering in her visit to Israel, had at least not let this time infatuated with these offbeat ideas of the Israeli political elite. U.S. and European interests are very different from Israeli interests, as long as Israel is unwilling to comply with Western democratic standards for the humane treatment of the Palestinians and respect for international law.

If the Mubarak's regime to the dustbin of history ends up, the two losers are the U.S. and its "Albatross like ally, Israel. Both have manipulated the Mubarak regime to act together against the interests of the Palestinian people. The U.S. is the dictator alimony annually with 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, and the Israelis have given him the feeling he was playing in the "peace process" an important role as a supporter of the Palestinians. In fact he was only the backers and the Arab fig leaf for continued Israeli occupation, and this together with the Jordanian King Gambling in tow. The silence of the Egyptian dictator, the Israeli Massacres at the turn of 2008 / 9 is all the more serious, as was the regime and the Abbas-Palestinians in advance and are asked whether or not the Gaza Strip would take, and what both have declined with thanks. That the Western democracies do nothing other than silence it occurred, should have been making their political cynicism and its absolute loyalty to Israel due.

The biggest problem of the US-dominated West is the policy of double standards. The United States criticized human rights abuses in China, Russia, Belarus, North Korea or Iran, but they are silent about the much more serious in the "good" western-oriented dictators and despots in the Arab world or Central Asia. Yes, this is even used as a torturer in the name of Western values, such as the kidnapping of alleged terrorists in Arab prisons by the U.S. CIA show in which they were "weichgefoltert" in the name of democracy for the U.S. client. These double standards of the West hit particularly hard to book, if you look at the political behavior of the Israeli government in occupied Palestine look.

colonized and oppressed for 43 years Israel's aspirations for freedom and self-determination for the Palestinian people. It hurt every norm of international law, human rights and all so-called Western values. What does the West, especially the U.S. government about it? It justifies all this and blocked any condemnation of these crimes in the UN Security Council veto by the "argument" that the UN resolutions were not "balanced". How are the condemnations of the massacres against the civilian population, attacks on other States or occasionally sending death squads into other countries to be "balanced"? These double standards are maintained from misunderstood solidarity hurt greatly the credibility of the United States and its allies. By what right the West dictatorial or despotic regime wants credible some of the compliance with human rights ? Tell To again be credible, must contact the West to the top of the intifadas in the Arab world and must not be influenced by Israel, which pursues its own agenda. The uprising of the Arab masses has nothing to do with "terror" or the so-called "war on terrorism". Western interests in the Middle East are not identical to Israeli interests, or its ideological obsessions. Who wants to get an insight into the twisted logic of the Israeli-Zionist thought, should read the article by former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens in the daily newspaper Haaretz.

worried, as the Arab despots already shows a mode of gambling Kings in Jordan. As a precaution he has already dismissed his government. Before returning the same shall appoint from the same old elite, he should really let hold free elections so the people can decide, who is to govern. If Islamic MPs are also in such a government that is to be accepted by the West. Or the West will once again act like the undignified spectacle after the free elections in Palestine, when the people elected Hamas has an absolute majority and not the corrupt members of the PLO? The Americans could think of nothing better than the freely elected government by a close cooperation between Israeli occupation forces, CIA and to stage a coup of Palestinian participation in the government.

George W. Bush has always wondered why people hated in the Arab world said the United States. He gave the wrong answer: "They hate us because of our freedom and our values." No, both are admired in the Arab world. If the U.S. government "hate", then for its policy against the interests of the people in the region for their double standards and for the unconditional support of the Israeli occupation regime over the Palestinian people. If that does not want to see the American elite, it should be expunged from the Middle East. John F. Kennedy is known in his famous speech in besieged Berlin as "a Berliner". Today, Palestinians and other oppressed committed in the Arab world as "Egyptians". This symbol should be at least to think the Americans.

initiative to protect against weapons violence (Entwaffnungsinitiative)

goes for the Swiss this time around a lot. An imaginary opponents of arms "initiative to protect against weapons of violence" would significant changes in gun laws cause. The demagogues set deliberately on the fear element in the un-informed, suggesting an improvement of the "threat". On 13 February 2011 the Swiss people vote via this popular initiative.



Switzerland is recognized as one of the last bastions of liberal gun ownership. A Entwaffnungsinitiative will replace the existing licensing and inspection system for weapons but a new one. By pacifist groups under the leadership of the Socialist Party (SP) launched a popular initiative will exacerbate the current gun laws radical. It calls on the pretext of fighting of violent crimes and the abolition of home delivery of the personal weapon of Swiss Army militiamen.





Receivables
- Commodities and Capability for the acquisition and possession of firearms
- prohibition of so-called "most dangerous weapons" such as automatic firearms and pump actions
- Establishment of a central Arms Register
the federal government - agreed not to home delivery of the personal weapon of the members of the army
- Prohibition, the Army dismissed from military service members leave their weapons

The Swiss Federal Council has reviewed the initiative and does it off without a counteroffer. He believes that the protection from misuse of weapons in the current gun laws sufficiently taken into account and that in the field artillery in steps have been taken to prevent possible abuses with Ordonnanzwaffen. The Defence Committee of the National Council (SiK-N) recommends their advice, the initiative "Protection from armed violence" with 18 votes to 8 to reject.

pursued basically the Entwaffnungsinitiative two goals. She wants to reduce the backlog and make it difficult for new acquisition. The initiative would be adopted, including the introduction of the need principle would be the result.


The need principle
With the need principle of management is a very clever tool is placed in the hand to regulate gun owners and control. Also, a need principle is very good for the screws to systematically attract. A gradual and permanent tightening gun laws is thus open the floodgates.

distinguishes a rule, the need principle in various groups of gun owners. This can be: Sport shooters, hunters, collectors and weapons experts. Rifles is a further differentiation possible after shooting disciplines. Every gun owner must be in accordance. the need to him by the administration was admitted to regularly provide the evidence justifying its need. Self-defense is not commonly recognized as a need basis.





the same time, so still reached a very useful side effect: It splits the gun owners into several groups. Gun owners take only as belonging to a sub-group was. Either an Olympic shooter or hunter or collector or IPSC shooter, etc. - but not more than gun owners as a whole. This allows the groups better off against each other and common actions on a broad front are largely excluded. Other laws tightened likely.
The need principle is like herpes: Did it once, do not you get it going again.





Furthermore sought a ban on all weapons categories. The infamous "Pump-Gun", this paragon of hell, is tilting at once. They lost to the cross section dubious representation in TV series by non-specialist directors. A reliable statistics on the "special danger" of this weapon does not exist anyway.


The driving force: "Women in Fear"
based to a large extent the justification Entwaffnungsinitiative of the fear element and the "tense threat" in Switzerland. Women in particular, it is suggested, face a constant threat from armed violence. Even if that really would be created by a Entwaffnungsinitiative even more security. It is aimed just against those who do not present a security risk, militiamen and responsible citizens. The initiative does not prevent the criminal misuse and illegal weapons and fight as little to reflect the real causes of domestic violence and suicides.





The cost
silent as to costs, the initiators of the Entwaffnungsidee. For the establishment of a central arms register of all weapons detection is necessary. This is not just about the military weapons in private hands, but to ALL weapons. The additional administrative burden will undoubtedly increase in the billions CHF. A work that will stand in no relation to the benefits. In addition, the implementation of the need principle will increase the bureaucracy and burden on the budget with ongoing cost. Financial resources that could be better used elsewhere. For example. for the construction of new shooting ranges ...
