Egypt, Israel and Europe’s ‘peace envoy’

A free Palestine among free, powerful, tall Arabs.

The people of Egypt are facing murderous attacks from the defeated police, paid thugs and criminals. This is orchestrated by the hated regime of the tyrant Mubarak.  Against such heroism and thirst for freedom, from under a stone emerges a reptile, Tony Blair, to announce that the dictator is “immensely courageous and a force for good”.

Blair is warning against democracy, what Britain’s disgrace called “a rush to elections”. Blair, still the official representative of the EU, demands support for Arab dictatorships to protect Israel.

Increasingly fundamentalist and racist Israel joins Blair in pushing an Islamophobia agenda to mask their support for pro-Western brutes. Blair lines up with the Christian Democratic right in Europe and the Christian fundamentalist George Bush to make us fear Muslims in politics. He echoes the racist mantras of an earlier age that the natives can’t be trusted to rule themselves and need a heavy pro-Western and pro-Israel hand to keep them in line.

Egyptians are teaching the world that the enemies of democracy are united and that the genuine democrats need to unite to oppose them. Millions of Arabs are rediscovering (the secret we in Britain have forgotten) that democracy is won, extended and defended by mass struggle. The role of Israel is clear: the apartheid state needs Arab dictators.

Israel has always opposed Arab democracy and attacked popular regimes, for the simple reason that broadly-based regimes in the Middle East inevitably raise the issue of local control of the immense resources of the region. A free Arab world can never accept the enslavement and dispossession of the Arab people of Palestine - Muslims, Christians and Jews (when they abandon the Zionist project of colonising Palestine and dispossessing the native Palestinian Arabs).

Egyptians are fighting dictatorship, torture, poverty, hunger and national humiliation. They also despised the Egyptian dictatorship’s collaboration with Israel to crush the aspirations of the Palestinian Arab people.

Israel’s war on democracy and all its neighbours

The Zionists always opposed democracy in Palestine to prevent democratic resistance by Palestinians to their dispossession by European colonists. The record is clear:

Israel
• attacked Egypt, with Britain and France, in a sneak attack in 1956 (‘the Suez affair’)
• launched a sneak attack on all its neighbours, including Egypt, in 1967 (Six Day War)
• attacked and devastated Lebanon repeatedly until defeated by determined popular resistance
• is starving and killing the Palestinians for unacceptable voting in democratic elections in 2006
• is openly threatening to attack Iran and Lebanon
• will use its nuclear-armed military to threaten any democratic Arab regime

Voltaire had only one prayer, "Please God, make my enemies look ridiculous". Not only ugly, but ridiculous, the Egyptian Regime in its last days is trying to control a situation of millions of opponents on the streets by increasing controls on the media! The pestilential Saudi regime only a few days ago announced that the demonstrations in Cairo were caused by ‘infiltrators’. Hopefully after they have finished in Cairo, these infiltrators will go on a world cruise.

A free Arab World will defend Palestinians under Israeli apartheid.
