Z-word banned
Page 2

However several days ago I discovered that 2 such “posts” I made to “Comment is free” did not appear but were withheld in cyberspace. I am very upset over the Israeli crucifixion of Lebanon – the more so because 25,000 of my fellow Australians have been cowering under war criminal Israeli bombing and shelling for 2 weeks. Image

Perhaps as a result of this upset, a further adjective appeared in my pantheon in addition to “Nazi-style” and “Ultrazionist”, specifically the Z-word that I now understand is apparently forbidden by a Google site (see above).  I decided to re-submit my comment but with   “Nazi-style”, “Ultrazionist”, the Z-word and related words removed and replaced by BLANK. This experiment was successful and the EDITED comment appeared immediately (see: here). My comment is reproduced below for your convenience:

QUOTE: “Comment is Free? This is an EDITED version of a Comment-is-free comment apparently withheld (perhaps automatically by a robot) for the possible reason that it contained particular non-gutter and accurate descriptives (denoted BLANK below) of current Israeli actions against the defenceless civilian citizens of Palestine and Lebanon. This is also by way of an EXPERIMENT, to test this hypothesis (by removing these terms)(several corrections included as well).

Decent Britons should be angered over Israel Lobby, BLANK and other supporters of the war criminal, genocidal, BLANK Israel Establishment - perhaps 750 Lebanese and Palestinians dead, thousands wounded, 800,000 homeless and massive infrastructure and economic damage that is predicted to cause 43,000 avoidable deaths annually if Palestine and Lebanon are devastated to a "UK-US-occupied Iraq level"  50% of the civilians being targeted by the BLANK are Children and 75% Women and Children? What sort of BLANK-style monsters make "endless war" on defenceless Women and Children, whether for OIL or WATER?

In comparison, Israeli deaths - while deplorable - total about 50. Indeed the "annual Israeli homicide deaths from all sources" yields an "annual homicide rate" of 44/million as compared to 54/million for the United States. However the overall "annual homicide rate" for the WHOLE of the BLANK-occupied Holy Land - BEFORE the latest genocidal Israeli Escalation - was 124/million with over 80% of deaths caused by Jewish Israelis (see: MWC ). Who are the "terrorists" the BLANK, the Israel Lobby, BLANK and their supporters endlessly salivate about?

Britons should be well beyond anger over the reality that 20,000 British citizens (plus 25,000 Australians, 25,000 Americans, 50,000 Canadians and 20,000 French citizens) have been cowering for weeks under war criminal, civilian-targetting BLANK bombing and shelling - yet only the French Government has demanded immediate cessation.

Those who support the sustained, war criminal bombing and shelling of tens of thousands of their OWN citizens by foreign State Terrorists are TRAITORS and TERRORIST SYMPATHIZERS - and should be dealt with by the Law, Boycotts and the Ballot Box.” END QUOTE

Well I’m a pragmatist and I’ve decided not to use the Z-word anymore, at least for the present. The latest crimes of Ultrazionist Israel against the Palestinians and Lebanese are horrendous – an expected annual avoidable mortality of 43,000 (two thirds infants) if the economy and infrastructure destruction reduces these 2 countries to an “Iraq scenario”.

The Ultrazionist Israeli war crimes appear to be deliberately UNFORGIVABLE  i.e. designed to totally prevent peace and to produce (as does horrendous US passive genocide in Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan) an “endless war” that in turn ensures votes, control over regional resources (WATER for Israel, OIL for the US) and Arab despair. We always knew that Zionism was intrinsically racist but it has now reached a renewed stage of explicit “fast genocide” in Southern Lebanon with the Israeli Government now telling all Lebanese to “leave or die” (as with Palestinians in 1948).  The Z-word is now almost superfluous as a pejorative descriptive. The whole world is watching – impotently - as the renewed genocidal potential of racist Zionism is being realized in the Middle East.
