Obscene Anomaly

By Khalid Amayreh

The Israeli embassy in Nouakchott, the capital
of Mauritania, came under attack by anonymous
gunmen this week. The attack, in which no people
were killed, showed that the Mauritanian people
don’t like the presence of Israelis and Zionists on
their national soil.

Terrorism, of course, should be condemned in the
strongest terms. However, the presence of an
Israeli diplomatic mission in the heart of Nouakchott
is a brazen provocation to the sensibilities and
feelings of Mauritanian citizens

After all, like the rest of mankind, Mauritanians watch
on a daily basis what Israel is doing in Gaza and the
West Bank, namely the genocidal campaign of ethnic
cleansing the Zionist military-political establishment
has been effecting against helpless Palestinians.

In fact, the presence of Israeli embassies,
consulates, charge d'affaires , “trade offices” in Arab
and Muslim capitals should be viewed as a
monumental disgrace for concerned states and their
governments and rulers. This is very much like
maintaining normal relations with Nazi Germany
while the Third Reich was busy classifying people
into Ubermensch and Untermensch and
exterminating numerous multitudes of people
in order to fulfill German nationalism…just as
Israel has been, more or less, doing to the
Palestinians since its misbegotten birth
sixty years ago.

Again, no one should seek to justify or encourage
any acts of terror. But the presence of the
representatives of a Nazi-like regime, that flies in
the face of human rights and international law, in
Arab and Muslim capitals is a crime that is even
worse, I would say much worse, than the
crime of terror.

Needless to say, the presence of Israeli
embassies and “diplomats” in Arab and Muslim
capitals implies legitimization of ethnic cleansing,
genocide, occupation, colonialism and the
systematic dispossession and attempted
obliteration of the Palestinian people.

In fact, Israeli embassies throughout the
world perform several functions, all of them
evil and immoral. The premier function of any
given Israeli embassy is to justify, defend,
extenuate and explain the criminal acts carried
out, nearly on a daily basis, against helpless
men, women and children, who simply want to
be free and refuse to be annihilated quietly.

These criminal acts include the deliberate
murder of innocent civilians, destruction of
their homes, bulldozing of their farms and
decimation of their ability to live a normal life.
In other words, Israeli ambassadors and consuls
and charge d’affaires effectively act as public
relations officer for the Israeli occupation army,
a Jewish Wehrmacht by every standard
of morality.

Their lies are incalculable as they are obscene.
They claim that the harsh blockade on the Gaza
Strip’s 1.5 million inhabitants, now in effect for the
eighth consecutive month, is not meant to harm
civilians and is only in response to “rockets” fired
by Palestinian freedom fighters onto
Israeli settlements.

Of course, these lies are pornographic just as
Israeli atrocities are also pornographic because
anyone with even rudimentary knowledge of
the situation in Palestine-Israel knows quite
well that the “rockets” are only a pretext, and
that the real motive behind the slow-motion
genocide in Gaza is to simply kill as many
Palestinians as the world public opinion allows,
under existing circumstances, and possibly
destroy the democratically elected Hamas
government in order to enable America’s
Palestinian lackeys in Ramallah to sell out
the Palestinian cause and inalienable
rights unopposed.

Israeli embassies and diplomatic missions
have the habit of giving a rosy picture of
the “democratic” Israeli society and how
Jews and non-Jews are treated equally.

I don’t know if the Mauritanian ambassador
in Israel conveys to his government back in
Nouakchott the “real” reality, not the virtual
reality, created by Zionist propaganda.

From example, does he inform his government
that Israeli cabinet ministers, Knesset members,
and even rabbis routinely call for the ethnic
cleansing of non-Jews, who are actually
Israeli citizens?

Does His Excellency inform his government that the
Israeli occupation army often murders 50 or 70 or
even a hundred Palestinians, mostly innocent
civilians, for every Israeli settler killed by
Palestinians?

Does His Excellency inform his superiors that some
rabbis, even high-ranking ones, constantly call
for the “relocation” and deportation of
Palestinians from their ancestral homeland to
Arabian deserts…from Sinai, to Saudi Arabia
to even the sub-Sahara desert in North Africa?

Does he inform his government that an important
Israeli rabbi by the name of David Batsri routinely
teaches in his synagogue that Arabs are actually
donkeys, not human beings, and that the Almighty
created them in a human shape only in order to
work and serve the Jews?

If Arab ambassadors in Israel don’t communicate
Israeli crimes and racism to their respective
governments, then what are they doing in Tel
Aviv? Frequenting casinos and nightclubs?
Socializing with Mossad and Shin Beth agents?
Or probably conspiring against their own
countries and their own peoples, probably
in return for some money?

And if they do relay reality to their capitals
as they indeed should, then why don’t these
respective Arab governments keep silent
about these crimes? Are they and their Israeli
colleagues members in the same Mason lodge?

When a number of Arab states decided to
normalize relations with Israel, especially following
the hapless Oslo Agreement, mainly to obtain a
certificate of good conduct from the US, Israel’s
guardian-ally, the rulers of these states argued
then that relations with Israel would serve the
Palestinian cause and encourage the Jewish
state to walk in the path of peace and come
to terms with Palestinian rights.

However, nearly 15 years after the conclusion
of the Oslo Accords, it is crystal clear that
normalization between certain Arab states
and Israel has emboldened the latter as its
criminality and ferocity have reached
unprecedented level.

Paradoxically, normalization with Israel, which
the stupid Arab regimes had hoped would be a
political asset, has turned out to be a disastrous
liability for the Palestinians and their enduring
struggle for freedom, and an asset for Israel
which has been able to endear itself to Arab
regimes and at the same time keep murdering the
Palestinians in the hundreds and in the thousands.

Today, Israel has more or less normal if not
cordial relations with Egypt, Jordan, Qatar,
Bahrain, UAE, Oman, Mauritania, Tunisia and
Morocco. There is also a lot of flirting going
between Israel and a number of other Arab
and Muslim states such as Pakistan and Indonesia
and to a lesser extent Algeria and Yemen.

This is happening while the slaughter of Palestinians
by the Israeli machine of death continues unabated
and the construction of Jewish colonies in occupied
Arab land goes on unhindered. Israel is even
effectively destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque…
step by step and stone by stone.

In conclusion, normalization between Israel and
Arab and Muslim states, especially before ending
Israel’s Nazi-like occupation and colonization of
the Palestinian homeland, is an obscene
anomaly that must come to an end sooner
rather than later.

Until then, all these embassies and
representative offices will remain despised by
the masses whether in Egypt, Jordan or
Mauritania. And rightly so.
