Difference in outrage over Kathua and Godhra – How the 'secularists' defended heinous killers & insulted the dead victims of Godhra
GujaratRiots.com
GujaratRiots.comhttp://www.gujaratriots.com/
Author of the book "Gujarat Riots: The True Story" which gives all the details about the 2002 Gujarat riots - Godhra and thereafter.
After the brutal killing of a 3-year old girl in Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh by Zahid and Aslam, allegedly over a very minor issue of payment of less than Rs 10,000, there has been a natural outrage. Of course, this outrage was triggered on the social media, by the right-wingers, and the Leftists who initially tried to ignore the issue were forced to show outrage at this. After this, they went back to their original nature and instead accused BJP of supporting rapists and killers of the 8-year old girl Asifa, who was brutally raped and killed in Kathua in early 2018, like they had done at that time.
The ability of the Leftists to twist the narrative to slander BJP and Hindu nationalists is truly extra-ordinary. Firstly, let us see the truth of the rally organized in Jammu in support of the alleged killers.
Those who rallied in Jammu did so as they genuinely felt that the accused have been framed by the Kashmir Crime Branch and simply demanded a CBI inquiry. That is by no means supporting killers and rapists, at maximum it can be called supporting accused. They were actually demanding a better investigation by CBI which would only give better justice to the poor 8 year-old victim. They did not rally and say: "The rapists and murderers of Asifa should be set free as this rape and murder is justified". They rallied as they believed that the accused were INNOCENT and were wrongly framed in the case. The media, both Indian and global, and political opponents and Leftists reported as if the rallyists in Jammu had supported the rape and murder, which they never did.
BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi said, as did Union Minister Prakash Javdekar, that the Bar Association of Jammu President B S Slathia, who spearheaded the protest in Kathua, was Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad's polling agent in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. The state unit chief of the Congress was seen in a video terming the police probe in the Kathua rape-and-murder case as 'motivated' and defending the public protests against it.
The rally was organized by Hindu Ekta Manch, not by BJP or any Sangh Parivar organization. Only 2 BJP Ministers attended it, and they were both asked to resign by the party. The mainstream organizations like BJP, RSS and others did not demand setting the accused free, nor did they deny the Kathua murder by calling it an 'accident'. The first arrest made for this killing was of a 15 year old boy. Much later, the Crime Branch of J&K made new arrests.
The Central government was appalled by what happened in Kathua, it got two Ministers from Jammu sacked for being present in the rally. All people I know and met, of RSS, BJP and others on Facebook and on WhatsApp were genuinely giving messages demanding death to the killers of the 8-year old girl in Kathua. They really demand harsh penalty for the killers. The Prime Minister gave a statement that the incident is a shame, and assured that the victim would get complete justice. The then Home Minister Rajnath Singh too said that victim should get justice.
The confidence with which the current accused are talking, demanding a CBI probe and narco tests as well as a lie-detector test makes me feel that they could be framed. Besides, there is a lot of evidence (such as CCTV footage of an ATM in UP on the day one accused is alleged to be in Kathua) which doubts their involvement. The trial court judgment has now come convicting 6 out of the 7 accused, and acquitting the one about whom there was CCTV footage of alibi.
There is a tremendous outrage in Jammu among the rallyists for being called 'supporters of killers'. They have every right to demand a CBI inquiry for a fair investigation if they feel J&K Crime Branch framed innocent accused as an after-thought on orders of some Kashmir politicians. Follow what Madhu Kishwar is saying on this issue on Twitter at @madhukishwar
If the accused are guilty, they should be given the harshest penalty, i.e. nothing less than death penalty. The rape & murder of the innocent 8-year old Asifa outraged all of us, and (barring some heartless fanatics) everyone on the Hindu right is for strict punishment to the real killers. But they only want to be sure that the real killers are punished, not innocent people who could have been framed.
Now, after the outrage over the killing of the 3 year old innocent in Uttar Pradesh, the Left liberals are drawing parallels with Kathua and accusing BJP of defending the rapists & murderers. Outrage by the Left-liberal-secular brigade over disrespecting the dead and supporting killers? Hypocrisy and irony died a million deaths.
After every incident which causes outrage like Nirbhaya or Kathua there is a need to mention the Godhra carnage of 27 February 2002 to know what was missing after Godhra. The outrage.
On Godhra, the mainstream parties and UPA Government defended the horrific killers who roasted to coal 59 Ram sewaks despite knowing fully well that Muslims burnt the train in the densely Muslim-dominated Signal Falia area of Godhra. It is one thing to defend some accused of Godhra saying: "They were not a part of the mob which burnt the train". It is quite another to deny totally that any mob burnt the train and call it as an 'accident'.
The UPA constituted a fake Banerjee Committee, which whitewashed the heinous sins of the fanatic Muslims, and called it an 'accident' in Jan 2005. In Jan-Feb 2005, Lalu campaigned in rallies in Bihar saying "BJP-RSS ke logon ne Godhra mein 59 logon ko jalaya, bola Musalman ne jalaya…" [BJP-RSS men burnt 59 in Godhra, said that Muslims did it.] The Congress Party officially fully defended the findings of the Banerjee Committee and said that Godhra was an accident, with its national spokesmen Anand Sharma and Abhishek Singhvi in the forefront. This is real defending of the heinous killers. Many Congress leaders went a step ahead, going to the extent of accusing BJP-RSS-VHP of killing 59 in Godhra, like Lalu.
How would it seem if tomorrow a BJP Govt ordered a fake committee like Banerjee on Kathua which gave a report that the death of the 8 year old girl was an accident, and then BJP leaders campaigned saying: "Congress-Left ke logon ne Kathua mein 8 saal ki ladki ka balatkar aur katal kiya, bola Hinduon ne kattal kiya"? [Congress-Left people raped and killed an 8-year old girl in Kathua, accused Hindus of doing so]. This is how bad the 'Left-liberal seculars' are and were on Godhra. None of them showed any disgust when Lalu did this on Godhra, many of them defended Banerjee Committee findings and they staunchly defend Lalu today.
The world media outlets like New York Times have also been in the forefront to defend the barbaric killers of Godhra and they even today call the Godhra carnage as an 'accidental fire'.
This entire ecosystem of the Congress-'secularists' [with the exception of Vir Sanghvi and maybe Jyoti Punwani] has not only disrespected, but also insulted and slandered the 59 dead victims of the Godhra carnage including 25 women and 15 children including babies and toddlers, by leveling shameful and character-assassinating fake charges on them to somehow reduce the intensity of the heinous crime committed by 2000 fanatic Muslims of Godhra.
Nobody, including rallyists in Jammu demanding a CBI probe in the Kathua case and others, leveled fake and third class charges on the Kathua victim, like the Congress and 'secularists' did on the victims of the Godhra carnage.
On 27 Feb 2002, 59 Ramsewaks were burnt to coal in Godhra in the densely Muslim-dominated Signal Falia area by a well-armed and ready mob of 2000 Muslims at 8 am. After this, the 'secularists' in the media and the non-BJP politicians slandered the dead Ram sewaks and blamed them for the tragedy, and not the Muslims who actually burnt the train. This troubled the conscience of one of the 'secularists', Vir Sanghvi, who condemned this response of the 'secularists' and said that the dead Ram sewaks are being dehumanized, are being insulted. His exact words were:
"Some versions have it that the kar sewaks shouted anti-Muslim slogans; others that they taunted and harassed Muslim passengers…Equally, it does seem extraordinary that slogans shouted from a moving train or at a railway platform should have been enough to enrage local Muslims, enough for 2,000 of them to have quickly assembled at eight in the morning, having already managed to procure petrol bombs and acid bombs. Even if you dispute the version of some of the kar sewaks – that the attack was premeditated and that the mob was ready and waiting – there can be no denying that what happened was indefensible, unforgivable and impossible to explain away as a consequence of great provocation. And yet, this is precisely how the secular establishment has reacted…And yet, the sub-text to all secular commentary is the same: the kar sewaks had it coming to them. Basically, they condemn the crime; but blame the victims…Why have we de-humanised them [the dead kar sewaks] to the extent that we don't even see the incident as the human tragedy that it undoubtedly was and treat it as just another consequence of the VHP's fundamentalist policies? The answer, I suspect, is that we are programmed to see Hindu-Muslim relations in simplistic terms: Hindus provoke, Muslims suffer. When this formula does not work – it is clear now that a well-armed Muslim mob murdered unarmed Hindus – we simply do not know how to cope. We shy away from the truth – that some Muslims committed an act that is indefensible – and resort to blaming the victims…Not only does this insult the dead (What about the children? Did they also have it coming?), but it also insults the intelligence of the reader…There is one question we need to ask ourselves: have we become such prisoners of our own rhetoric that even a horrific massacre becomes nothing more than occasion for Sangh Parivar-bashing?"
This article was written on 28 Feb 2002 by Vir Sanghvi, after which a lot more slander of the dead was done. Till that time, the inconsistent and self-contradictory charges on Ram sewaks were that they shouted anti-Muslim slogans, taunted and harassed Muslim passengers, did not pay for tea and snacks. Later emerged third class allegations [copied from an Islamic website which blamed Jews for 9/11, & had similar claims] of them trying to kidnap a Muslim girl which was later tried to be portrayed as true by many, e.g. Tehelka with Ashish Khetan claiming so, who later joined the AAP.
In reality of course, no such attempt was made to abduct any girl, the alleged girl Sophia Sheikh was examined by the Nanavati Commission and it found many loopholes in this claim, and concluded that she was parroting what had been fed to her perhaps a few days after the incident. These fake, third class and slanderous charges were made just to reduce the heinous-ness of the crime of Muslims of Godhra, to somehow imply that "Muslims did not start it, they had no choice than to retaliate as they were wronged by the Ram sewaks".
Vir Sanghvi cleared admitted on 28 Feb 2002 itself that "The truth was that in Godhra, some Muslims committed an act that is indefensible, which was never going to be accepted by the 'secularists', though they knew it."
Within 3 days of Godhra, the Gujarat Congress leadership in Gandhinagar prepared a report that claimed that the incident was 'provoked' by kar sevaks who were shouting slogans from Ratnam to Godhra.
The late Amarsinh Chaudhary, the then Gujarat state chief of the Congress Party, came on TV on 27 February 2002 and blamed Ramsevaks for 'provoking' the Godhra carnage, alleging that they did not pay for tea and snacks. India Today (11 March 2002, covering events till 28 Feb 2002) said: "…While former chief minister Amarsinh Chaudhary condemned the attack on the train he also blamed the Ram sevaks for provoking it. "
The anger of the Godhra victims is seen since March 2002 itself. UNI reported on 8 March 2002: "That the survivors of the February 27 Sabarmati Express blaze at Godhra are a bitter lot will be an understatement. Few politicians, human rights activists or media persons have had a kind word for them."
There was an 'independent fact-finding report' in April 2002 on the situation in Gujarat, full of lies [e.g. It lied that the daughters of Ehsan Jafri had been raped & killed in the riots while in reality they were in USA]. Kamal Mitra Chenoy, S.P.Shukla, K.S.Subramanian, and Achin Vanaik made this report, which was given in Outlook:
"A Report To the Nation by An Independent Fact Finding Mission…Some kar sewaks refused to pay for the tea [priced at Rs 5] and snacks and got into an altercation with the [Muslim] vendors. An old Ghanchi vendor, who is absconding, was ordered to shout pro-Rama slogans and his beard was reportedly pulled when he refused. This was followed immediately by stone throwing and physical assaults started…a kar sewak who grabbed one of the teenaged daughters Sophiya and tried to drag her inside the compartment, but contrary to later press reports and rumours failed to do so…
The fracas on the platform lasted around 15 to 20 minutes before the train began to pull out… Apparently incensed by reports of the misbehaviour with members of their community by the kar sewaks and the molestation, even rumoured abduction, of a Muslim woman, a mob of up to 2,000 people allegedly of Ghanchis from Singal Faliya attacked the train with stones and fire bombs. The kar sewaks of almost equal strength threw stones back…
This notwithstanding, major conclusions can be arrived at:
1] The attack does not appear to be pre-planned in the sense in which it was claimed publicly by high authorities in the immediate aftermath of the incident of 27th Feb. Neither available information nor the circumstances then prevailing provide support to the theory of any deep-rooted conspiracy, with or without involvement of foreign agencies.
…3] The tragedy could have been averted or at least, minimised if strong preventive measures had been taken in the wake of the communal incidents/irritants that were taking place on the train route and which could have been anticipated once the kar sewaks started leaving/returning by train in large numbers for/from Ayodhya."
Thus they slandered the dead Ram sewaks, falsely accused them of not paying for tea and snacks at the station for Rs 5 [FIVE Rupees is the value of the lives of Ram sewaks for these shameless propagandists and Outlook which published this], falsely accused the dead of pulling the beard of a vendor etc, and of trying to kidnap a Muslim girl Sophia Sheikh and of 'provoking' the Godhra massacre.
Outlook dated 1 April 2002 reported: "The Godhra case, meanwhile, will remain a mystery…What triggered off the Godhra massacre is still not answered. Clearly, the Sabarmati Express incident is not an open and shut case of Muslims targeting kar sevaks. Had it been so, the police would not have been so tightlipped."
Then what was it? Was it a case of the dead 59 Ram sewaks including 25 women and 15 children targeting Muslims? Just because some police officers remained tight-lipped in April 2002 doesn't mean Godhra was not a case of Muslims targeting kar sevaks. Of course it was. And Outlook called Godhra a 'mystery' when it was crystal clear that Muslims burnt the train, simply because it did not WANT to accept it.
An article by Rajeev Srinivasan on Rediff.com on 7 March 2002 exposed the slander of the Godhra victims done in the first week after Godhra. That article said:
"The response in the English-language media in India has been quite intriguing. The editorials and reports generally blamed Hindus for provoking Muslims by the act of wanting to build a temple in Ayodhya. The tone, generally, was: 'We told you that Hindu provocation in wanting to build a temple will lead to a Muslim backlash. So here it is. It's the Hindus' fault.'
Here is an excerpt from an editorial in The Hindustan Times: A number of innocent people have already died and more may suffer if the Centre, even now, doesn't step in to stop the insanity unleashed by the VHP. Right from the time when this outfit of Hindu fanatics announced its provocative plan to begin the construction of the temple in Ayodhya, it was known that trouble was brewing. But the BJP at the Centre, perhaps hoping that the VHP's belligerence will consolidate the Hindu vote behind it, did nothing more than mouth pious platitudes. [Blames BJP and VHP and not Muslims who burnt the train.]
Here is an excerpt from a report in The Washington Post, with a quote from…: Teesta Setalvad, head of Communalism Combat, a group that opposes religious extremism in India, said that 'while I condemn today's gruesome attack, you cannot pick up an incident in isolation. Let us not forget the provocation. These people were not going for a benign assembly. They were indulging in blatant and unlawful mobilization to build a temple and deliberately provoke the Muslims in India.'
Even by the standards of the Indian English media and its 'secular' 'progressives', known for their Marxist blinkers, this is astonishing. For they are conveniently pinning the blame on the victim…
This issue of provocation is quite illuminating…Does this look like a spontaneous response to an act of provocation, or does it look like a pre-planned, well-thought-out plan for mass murder? What kind of 'provocation' leads someone to randomly execute women and children in the most gruesome manner possible, by burning them alive?"
Varsha Bhosle wrote on Rediff.com dated 11 March 2002 an article titled "Déjà vu, all over again", which said:
"…Take, for instance, the "news" about the 60 karsevaks being burned to death because they had abducted a 16-year-old Muslim girl: "She kept pleading and begging to them [sic] to stop beating her father and leave him alone. But instead of listening to her woes [sic], the kar sevaks [sic] lifted the young girl and took her inside their compartment S-6 and closed the compartment door shut." Forget the scores of Pakis who sent me that mass-circulated piece of shit, even Indian Muslims and Hindus used it to rationalize the incineration of the karsevaks….
A variation of this "news" was produced by Rajiv Chandrasekaran of The Washington Post: "[Karsevaks] exposed themselves to other passengers. They pulled headscarves off Muslim women… They failed to pay for the tea and snacks they consumed at each stop," even quoting a mere deputy superintendent of police saying that the attack on Hindus "was not pre-planned", but "a sudden, provocative incident". No matter that Additional Director General (law and order) of Gujarat police J Mahapatra and The Hindustan Times (Godhra: A planned attack, March 3) and The Pioneer (Dastardly crime, March 1) and The Times of India (Attack could have been pre-planned, February 28) *and* the Intelligence Bureau, all indicate a pre-planned conspiracy. Chandrasekaran simply found "witnesses" he wanted to find… Déjà vu, all over again. And thus, from March 5 to date, messages about the villainous karsevaks and the abducted Muslim girl have been steadily trickling in.
Here's some real news for you: The "information" about the 'abduction' was directly lifted from an item on an Islamist Web site purporting to be a news portal, and then embellished with garbage like "I would also mention my sources namely Mr Anil Soni and Neelam Soni (reporters of Gujarat Samachar Newspaper and also member of PTI & ANI) have worked hard to dig the true facts", and gave 3 phone numbers of the Sonis. Well, I found Mr Soni at (02672) 40264. He said, "Are you calling up about the emails? That is complete bogus and rubbish. It is the work of my enemies."
That's how Islamists work — knowing well what "secularists" *like* to believe."
Teesta Setalvad-edited Combat Communalism too insulted the dead Ram sewaks, and tried to concoct all sort of stories to paint them as bullies and demons, rather than victims. It wrote:
"In a report published on February 25, the Jan Morcha, a Hindi daily published from Faizabad, detailed instances of provocative behaviour by kar sevaks, who allegedly beat and threatened Muslim passengers, insisting that they chant 'Jai Shree Ram'. They even unveiled Muslim women…
The Jan Morcha report published two days before the incident at Godhra, reports the conduct of kar sevaks from Gujarat headed for Ayodhya. But by several accounts, the conduct of kar sevaks returning to Ahmedabad by the ill-fated Sabarmati Express on February 27 was no better:
…And on March 7, Akbarbaig Sirajuddin Shah, a Muslim passenger who was returning to Ahmedabad with his family, in an interview with the Gujarati daily, Gujarat Today, recounted the misbehaviour of the kar sevaks throughout the journey…
As stated earlier, no provocation whatsoever can justify a heinous crime like burning people to death. But the misconduct of kar sevaks is nonetheless important to record for two reasons: One, given such persistent hooliganism, where was the intelligence machinery of the law enforcement authorities? Why was no preventive measure taken by the police? Two, if the attack on kar sevaks was pre-planned, as chief minister Modi and Union home minister LK Advani have maintained, was the outrageous conduct of kar sevaks a part of the pre-planning?…
Local accounts say that stories of the behaviour of kar sevaks (believed to be as many as 1,200 or so on board) had preceded the train's arrival. Dahod, an-hour-and-a-half before Godhra, had seen the eruption of tension and the news had already travelled. As the train pulled in and stopped at Godhra railway station, locals who live just outside the station recounted (see box on testimonies of witnesses) that they heard abusive shouts and sounds of stone throwing from the station. Vendors near the station recounted that tea stall owners at the station (who incidentally hail from the same Ghanchi Muslim community) had an altercation with the kar sevaks who refused to pay. One elderly vendor on the platform was threatened by the kar sevaks and asked to shout slogans; they pulled his beard and assaulted him when he refused.
…Suddenly, a kar sevak obstructed their departure, grabbed Sophiya [at around 8 am] and tried to drag her inside the compartment. He did not succeed in doing so….
Reports of misbehaviour, repeated provocation, the rumour of abduction of a young Muslim girl, allegedly incited a 2,000 strong mob of Ghanchi Muslims from Signal Falia to attack the train with stones and fire bombs. The kar sevaks also resorted to stone throwing.
…Criminologically speaking, in the assessment of this [anonymous] officer, the fire was not intended. It 'caught more than they expected.' 'There was no pre-planning.'…
As we have seen above, investigating officials have yet to find any proof of the Godhra atrocity being pre-planned. Nonetheless, Modi, Union home minister LK Advani and others continue to reiterate the distorted version of the motive behind the incident at Godhra…
Though all accounts suggest that there was provocation enough by the kar sevaks, little can justify the crime that burned 58 persons alive. The guilty need to be brought to book and punished."
There was another article in this issue which was totally devoted to slandering the Ram sewaks since the time the trains carrying Ram sewaks were in Faizabad, UP.
Rajiv Srinivasan wrote in Part 2 of his article dated 14 May 2002 on Rediff.com on Godhra where he exposed some of the slander & insult of the dead Ram sewaks.
The Independent (UK) insulted the dead kar sewaks and leveled fake allegations. The report written by Peter Popham published on 20 March 2002 says that the "Ram sewaks were drunk, unruly, pulled the beard of an elderly Muslim, smashed a Muslim tea-owners stall for not saying 'Jai Shri Ram', drunk kar sewaks kidnapped a Muslim girl, the girl began screaming for help, a mob assembled to help her, the mob 'requested' that the karsevaks return the girl. But instead of returning the girl, they started closing their windows. This infuriated the mob, and it became a battle with the karsevaks piling in with their swords and sticks, and a crowd now said to be 1,000-strong burnt the train!"
Four months after Godhra, The Week reported in an article: "…The karsewaks refused to pay for the tea and abused the vendors (Muslims at Godhra Railway Station)". Though this article mercifully accepted that Muslims burnt the train, it called Godhra a 'Mystery' and insulted the dead by alleging that they did not pay for tea and snacks at Godhra station and 'abused' the Muslim vendors.
Dionne Bunsha wrote in well-known Leftist fortnightly Frontline in its issue of 20 July to 2 August 2002 on Godhra. Again, she refused to accept that it was a well-planned act done by Muslims, and slandered the kar sewaks by saying that they 'harassed, bullied and abused the Muslim passengers' and resorted to all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid mentioning the truth that Muslims burnt the train in a planned act. She quoted the then Congress leader Shankersinh Vaghela to promote the lie that the VHP itself torched the train [in a densely Muslim dominated area!] and not Muslims.
Dionee Bunsha also wrote in Frontline in its issue of 15-28 March 2003 a report in which she called Godhra a 'mystery' and accused the dead Ram sewaks of trying to kidnap a Muslim girl, and alleged that they misbehaved with other passengers. She again tried all sort of mental gymnastics to avoid accepting that Muslims burnt the train, and even mentioned a JUDICIAL CONFESSION by one accused to court in Feb 2003 in the article. But did not mention that in that JUDICIAL CONFESSION the accused admitted that the Godhra attack was a well-planned one, and that he had himself taken part in it too. She only mentioned that accused's confession also naming Maulavi Umarji as involved in this attack, which made Umarji a co-accused.
Rediff.com reported on 11 August 2004 in a report titled "'It is nonsense to say that Godhra was planned' that:
"…To put pressure on the Gujarat government in connection with the post-Godhra riots, ANHAD [Shabnam Hashmi being the force behind it] organised a seminar titled 'Rebuilding Justice and Hope in Gujarat: The Agenda Ahead' in the main auditorium of India International Centre in New Delhi on July 29. Needless to say, 'secular activists' attended the seminar in strength. Some were famous personalities like actresses Sharmila Tagore and Nandita Das, lawyers Indira Jaisingh and Nitya Ramakrishnan, and journalists Praful Bidwai and Rajdeep Sardesai. Also present were about 100 students and some known critics of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
…The session that provoked the audience was a PowerPoint presentation titled 'In search of the truth about Godhra' by Ahmedabad-based activist lawyer Mukul Sinha. He presented his take on the burning of the Sabarmati Express, which killed 59 passengers on February 27, 2002. With the help of the statements made by people and policemen before the Nanavati Commission, which is enquiring into the riots, Sinha tried to establish that the Godhra carnage was not planned. He said, "It is nonsense to say that Godhra was a planned act or a conspiracy." It was an accident, which was wrongly termed as the 'most horrendous diabolical incident'…""
These known anti-Modi personalities like Rajdeep Sardesai, Prafull Bidwai and all others like Nandita Das present there allowed Mukul Sinha to stoop to THIS level in such a horrific massacre, and did not once contest or contradict his lies on Godhra, despite knowing the truth fully well that it was a well-planned attack by Muslims.
Siddharth Varadarajan (presently editor of The Wire) refused to blame Muslims for Godhra in an article in The Hindu in January 2005. He too slandered the dead karsewaks by alleging that they 'molested a Muslim girl', and ignored completely that 15 children and 25 women were among the killed people, including babies and toddlers. He wrote a similar article on 22 August 2004 in The Hindu, where he refused to blame Muslims for Godhra and said: "Two years on, the police cannot offer a credible account of how coach S-6 caught fire" as if that is was unknown, while it was clear that Muslims set it afire, and he insulted the dead karsewaks by calling them as 'ticketless travelers'. Besides, he lied that 2000 Muslims were killed in the post-Godhra riots, exaggerating the numbers to more than double, and as if no Hindu was killed while more than 250 Hindus also died even after Godhra.
He implied in August 2004 that the post-Godhra riots would have happened even without Godhra! This was in Outlook in an article in which he said that the "Godhra incident itself is so shrouded in mystery that it is almost as if the official narrative which emerged within minutes and hours of the train being consumed by fire is an invented one, conveniently conjured up to provide the "rationale" for the pogrom which had simultaneously been ordained." He ignored completely the killings of Hindus even after Godhra and called the riots as a 'pogrom'! If one can read between the lines, it means Muslims have been wrongly accused for Godhra according to him.
In January 2005, the then Railway Minister Lalu Yadav got a Banerjee committee to give a fake report that the Godhra carnage was an 'accident'. Everyone knows the truth and in February 2003 there was a JUDICIAL CONFESSION by one Muslim accused of this too. If it had been an accident, the Ram sewaks would have ran out of the train and saved their lives, it was a mob of Muslims who did not allow them to run away and burnt them to coal. This of course, was known to all in the 'secularist' media, but they promoted the lie of it being an 'accident'. Lalu campaigned in Bihar in 2005 saying: "BJP-RSS men burnt a train in Godhra killing 59 people, said Muslims did it". In this report of that campaign Lalu is mercifully not reported as alleging that 'BJP-RSS men burnt the train in Godhra' which he did in other rallies, which was shown on TV by NDTV Hindi.
There was and is no outrage in any of the 'seculars' for Lalu doing this and instead he was and is their hero. The media did not call this act of U C Banerjee & Lalu as 'shameful', unlike their outrage on PM Modi calling Rajiv Gandhi 'Bhrashtachari'. Actually, they were happy Lalu did this. Papers like The Tribune and journalists like Khushwant Singh supported the claim of U C Banerjee. The Hindu in its editorial of 19 Jan 2005 and mainstream parties like Congress, CPI and CPM staunchly defended the Banerjee report and condemned BJP for opposing it with Congress spokesmen Abhishek Singhvi and Anand Sharma in the forefront!
Outlook fully supported the Banerjee Committee report in January 2005 in an article by Darshan Desai and Saba Naqvi. It said: "While the BJP continues to squirm on the Godhra issue, the report's release has come as a bit of a breather for Muslims across the country. The overwhelming sentiment is that a huge taint has been removed." Thus, Outlook instead of calling Lalu & Banerjee's acts as 'shameful', was actually thankful to them for the report, since it whitewashed the heinous crime of Muslims. It exposes only Darshan Desai, Saba Naqvi and Outlook which published such a third class article.
The Congress fully defended the final Banerjee report in March 2006 which was same as the interim report and instead demanded the immediate resignation of the then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi and condemned Modi!
On 13 October 2006, the Gujarat High Court declared the Banerjee Committee to be 'illegal' and ruled that the probe was "unconstitutional, illegal and null and void". Justice D N Patel declared its formation to be a "colourable exercise of power with mala fide intentions".
When the Nanavati Commission, which was a full-fledged Commission of Inquiry having all powers under the Commission of Inquiry Act, gave its report in September 2008 that Godhra was a well-planned act done by Muslims, the mainstream parties of entire UPA like Congress, RJD and Left parties CPI, CPM refused to accept it, and instead condemned the report.
In Feb 2011 the trial court convicted 31 Muslims and called Godhra as a pre-planned act. Even after this, mainstream parties like the Congress refused to accept Muslims did Godhra. So did men like Swami Agnivesh, Prashant Bhushan. Saba Naqvi defended the heinous killers even after their conviction and tried to imply that the 'BJP and/or VHP did Godhra'. Her article in Outlook in March 2011 said:
"…the so-called justice delivered in this case…" The words 'so-called justice' imply that Muslims have been wrongly convicted. She refused to call it a conspiracy though Godhra is impossible to have been anything but planned. She said: "Why would Muslims of Godhra plan such a horrific incident in a BJP-ruled state?" as if Muslims did not plan and do it. "BJP had just lost power in UP in 2002 & was expected to lose the Gujarat elections later that year, when Godhra happened." She implied that BJP planned and killed the 59 Ram sewaks in Godhra in light of the Gujarat elections! There was a JUDICIAL CONFESSION by a Muslim in Feb 2003 that Godhra was planned, which was totally ignored by her. She wrote: "After all, the incident became the trigger for the worst anti-Muslim violence in independent India [wrong on facts, Hindus too were killed by Muslims even after Godhra, and there were many worse anti-Muslim violences in India eg Nellie in Assam in 1983]…BJP,VHP and Modi who benefited from the gore" as if they did Godhra and not Muslims! Not once did she say anywhere that 'Muslims roasted the 59 Ram sewaks in the train'.
Saba Naqvi who is a regular on TV has never been properly exposed for who she is- such a disgusting supporter of heinous killers of 59 Ram sewaks, daring to stoop so low in THIS case, not once, but twice in 2005 & 2011.
A BJP opponent, as late as 2017 refused to blame Muslims for Godhra and called the dead 59 Ramsewaks in Godhra as 'fanatics' including the 15 children killed including babies which was allowed to be published by India Today's platform DailyO.
Rajdeep Sardesai indirectly slandered the Godhra victims even after the Gujarat High Court upheld the conviction of 31 Muslims on 9 October 2017. He tweeted: "My view: train burning was a horrific unforgivable act but not pre-planned. Conspiracy theory added later." implying that the dead Ram sewaks 'provoked' the incident!
They often also accused the dead victims' organizations themselves of killing them. In July 2002, the Congress officially accused the Sangh Parivar of having burnt the train in Godhra. This is like accusing Rahul Gandhi for the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, so third class is the charge! Yet this charge was happily promoted by the media.
The comparison which needs to be drawn after incidents like the horrific Kathua rape-and-killing is with Godhra. It reveals how disgusting, third-class the 'secularist-liberals' are and to what extent they can go to, to defend any crime of Muslims.

In a week the World's Largest Digital Festival open doors in Jönköping for DreamHack Winter 2015. The heart and soul of the festival is of course the LAN and therefore we are very happy to announce all the official BYOC Tournaments featured at DreamHack Winter 2015! Below you will find all the necessary information regarding each tournament, enter the competition, form your teams and compete for prize money and bragging rights!
7) Before 17:00 you and your teammates will receive a mail when the tournaments starts through the Battleground System.
Schedule Accelerating schedule. Whole tournament played the same day.


Six weeks of robotics, building, programming, etc., happened to be the most fun I ever had in an educational project. Two times a week for two hours each day for six weeks we met before the final competition. I, with four other teammates, constructed three robots and wrote eight programs for our three robots to perform in the competition.
Sometimes it became a little stressful during the last week of preparation when some of our programs wouldn't cooperate with us, but the blast we had in the competition made up for that.
Overall we finished fourth out of twenty-six teams; our parade robot won first in the competition! That goes to show how well three Catholic private schoolers, and two homeschoolers did against public schoolers with about ten to twenty people on their teams.
My tem had a great time, and I want to encourage others who would be interested to find a team close by and have a great time while learning.

Case Studies //
Strategy and Business Planning
Reconsidering relevance in a much changed world
futures for women
"We chose to work with Action Planning because of David Saint's track record and what he was offering to do for us: he had the open-mindedness we felt we needed in our situation. He facilitated the away days very effectively and produced ideas that seemed so obvious, yet none of us had thought of them before. We are now more focused on the need."
JO MURRAY, CHAIR, FUTURES FOR WOMEN
Futures for Women, formerly the Society for Promoting the Training of Women, was founded in 1859 with the aim of encouraging women towards economic independence through employment, and went on to achieve numerous breakthroughs in securing new opportunities for highly trained women in the workplace. In the latter part of the 20th century its role was almost exclusively the extending of interest-free loans towards the cost of training and higher education, using interest on its capital. However, with inflation and the introduction of university fees, the real value of the Society's loans diminished, and the trustees sensed the charity was in danger of becoming irrelevant. After researching various charity consultants, Action Planning was selected to come and help Futures for Women decide the best way forward.
Brief:
With the charity reaching something of a watershed in its long history, David Saint and his colleague Mark Atkinson were asked to assess the current relevance of and need for an organisation of this kind, and to help establish a vision and mission that would carry Futures for Women forward with renewed vigour and purpose.
The work fell into several parts, beginning with one-to-one interviews with trustees to gain a full and frank overview of the charity's current situation and its perceived strengths and weaknesses. David then ran a strategic planning away day, at which the strategy, objectives and actions of the charity were examined by the group, before David delivered his verdict on how the charity had become 'boxed in' by duty, loyalty and a perceived lack of resource, and needed to break out of these boxes in order to remain relevant.
Following the away day, Mark Atkinson conducted a thorough piece of market research into the current needs to help women to become economically independent, including specific groups with the greatest need, other organisations working in this space, support gaps that Futures for Women could usefully fill, and potential partners. David then organised a second away day at which he delivered the findings of the research and helped the group arrive at some concrete conclusions that would become action points, to be ratified at the forthcoming AGM.
The most radical conclusion to come from David's consultation was that the charity should start using its capital, as well as its income. Secondly, it should explore opportunities to partner with other charities to deliver the most benefit. And thirdly, it should focus more on addressing the current need among women seeking employment and economic self-sufficiency.
Though these points represented new thinking for the delegates, they were unanimously accepted and agreed at the AGM. One delegate observed how quickly they had come to a consensus over David's recommendations. Futures for Women came out of its AGM with a firm plan and has now chosen a charity to partner with for two years, and is hoping to encourage two others with considerable overlap to plan some shared projects. Over this time it will use its capital to meet a specific and relevant need, thus building a stronger story to form the basis of a new fundraising campaign.
Consultant's insight:
There are times in every organisation's history when it becomes stuck in a rut and people loyally soldier on because it seems the right thing to do. Futures for Women is a case in point – the trustees were persevering with the work they had undertaken, whilst becoming more and more concerned that the organisation wasn't having the impact it once did. Happily they had the foresight – and courage – to challenge the status quo and to ask fundamental questions about their purpose. It was a privilege to be able to come in from the outside and hold up a mirror to them. The trustees very quickly saw not only that change was needed but also what that change should be. It is to their credit, and to the credit of the members at the AGM, that they are following through with that radical change.

Would Somebody Help Me Out Here?
I am unable to understand the logic of those Israel supporters who say that they regrettably have no choice but to accept the West Bank status quo. I am referring to those who say, "Look, we Israelis have no desire to rule over 3 ½ million Palestinians. But, unfortunately, we have no alternative but to continue the current situation that, admittedly, will make life miserable for the Palestinians and will arouse their hatred of us. They are responsible for the mess they are in. They could have had a state or something like it. Instead they sent suicide bombers. We would be crazy to unilaterally withdraw – just see what has happened in Gaza."
I am not bothered by the fact that the argument rests on the following questionable assumptions:
Were it not for the security issue Israelis would be willing to have a Palestinian state next to them on the Green Line.
The threat to Israel from the Palestinians is greater than Israel's threat to them.
Israel bears no responsibility for the breakdown of the Oslo Peace Process, the Intifada al-Aksa, or the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.
The Palestinians were offered a State at Camp David/Taba/Annapolis.
The Palestinians want an immediate and unilateral Israeli withdrawal.
Every one of these assumptions is debatable. I believe them to be false and that Israelis deceive themselves when they claim to accept them. But that's not what bothers me.
What bothers me is that even if we grant all these propositions, I don't see how they justify the West Bank status quo.
Even if we assume that the Palestinians were offered a state at Camp David/Taba, and that they turned it down because they want to destroy Israel, and that they have the power to destroy Israel through terrorism, and that they are responsible for the whole mess they are in – why does it follow that we have the right to conduct massive human rights offenses against them indefinitely?
One could respond that a) Palestinians have collectively forfeited their human rights or b) our human rights trump their human rights, or c) the existence of a Jewish state justifies the massive and indefinite human rights violation of another people. Any of those additional propositions would help the argument go through. But not a whole lot of Israel advocates want to be explicit about a), b), or c). Rather they minimize the human rights violations, calling them "inconveniences" or "unintended" or "regrettable" or "not our responsibility".
I don't understand these guys. Much more consistent are the rightwing Israelis who simply say that the Palestinians don't act like humans and therefore can be abused if necessary.
Why should Israel's right to exist trump the right to exist of the Palestinians, for that matter, any other alternative?
It seems to me that the only morally justifiable answer is that no matter how bad the current situation is, any other situation would be worse for both peoples. If you can show that the Israeli occupation is better for the Palestinians than their own government would then that answer have some purchase.
Has anybody seen that answer argued somewhere? I haven't.
Labels: West Bank
You ask good questions. But the fact is that no contractual peace between Israel and the Arabs is possible (the peace treaty with Egypt is understood by them as a partial, temporary cease-fire. This is how the Egyptian regime presents it to its own population). The future of Judea/Samaria will ultimately see the evolution of the current, difficult situation into a Jordanian-Israeli condominium, with the Jews living there being citizens of Israel, and the Arabs being the citizens of a Jordanian-Palestinian regime (it is up to them to determine whether this will be under the Hashemite monarchy or some other system). This will be an INFORMAL arrangement because no Arab could ever officially agree to such a thing (Sadat's example is there for everyone, even though he also stated that the agreement was on the lines of the treaty Muhammed made with the Quraish which was also temporary). Once the security situation is stabilized (something that is not in the offing) the Israeli security presence can be drawn down to a minimum, as it was in during the pro-1993 Oslo Israeli occupation period, when there were almost no roadblocks, few checkpoints and there was free movement between Gaza and Judea/Samaria (it was the Olso "peace" that destroyed the Arabs freedom of movement).
It will take many years for this this situation to evolve. It will require the currently ascendant Islamic extremist movements to be seen to be in retreat. As long as Israel makes prisoner trades like the recent one with HIZBULLAH, and as long as Israel offers to destroy settlements and restricting natural Jewish rights in Judea/Samaria, this will keep encouraing the Arab/Islamic extremists elements ....they can say "see their own leaders like 'tough General' Sharon even admit they are weak and in retreat...if we keep up the pressure they will go under for sure!" (see Nasrallah's "Israel is nothing more than a spider's cobweb" speech). This perception must be broken before the modus vivendi I described above can be implemented. I realize Jerry, that you won't like what I am saying, but it is the only possible improvement in the situation that is feasible. A peace along the lines the "progressives" are suggesting is just not in the cards, as much as they may want it to be.
Bar_kokhba,
Your fantasy is the fantasy that the Zionists have had since 1948. It was exploded with the rise of Palestinian nationalism, the rise of Islamism, the world's acceptance of the two-state solution/federation/and -- and here is the kicker -- the demonization of the settlers in the eyes of most Israelis to the extent that Sharon, who hated the Palestinians, removed the Gaza settler not because he thought it would bring peace, but because he thought that the settlers were a drain on Tzahal.
The mainstream Zionists believed in the Iron Wall conception -- once the Arabs learn that they can't win, they will come to accept us. That actually happened in the case of most of the Arab states, who really couldn't care less about the Palestinians.
But the Zionists never figured on Palestinian nationalism, and for good reasons -- the Palestinians they encountered were peasants with little nationalist tendencies. Egypt could have its peace, fake or not...but Palestinians couldn't have their peace because they couldn't have real self-determination.
Ah, but man plans and God laughs...as you yourself will agree, Israel has suffered partial defeats beginning with the Yom Kippur War, two Lebanese Wars, two Intifadas (Oslo and the retreat from Gaza). The Palestinians have also suffered, but they don't show signs of going away. And they have a better status in the eyes of the world then they did when guys liked you were arguing against the Jordanian option.
No, I think it more likely that the present situation continues and gets worse until the two-state solution seems impossible. Then more and more people will start questioning whether one state isn't a better idea. This is what Olmert himself said, Then, the best case scenario will be a new regime that replaces the 1948 regime. Under the new regime, Jews will live in the West Bank and Palestinians within Israel proper.
You see, the difference between your scenario and mine is that while nobody but a few rightwing Israelis think in your terms, the world and most Israelis think in two-state terms. They won't do anything about it -- but they won't think that the answer is a return to the status quo before Oslo.
However, I do know of one way out that would help your prognosis:
Just convince the Palestinians that there nationalism is a sham, that they really have everything to gain by cooperating with Israel, that as long as they behave and watch their land being taken away (as in the pre-Oslo period...did you mean the pre-Intifada I period?) then all will be well with them.
I think your chance of doing that is about as good as my chance of convincing the Zionists that things were better for the Jews during the mandate. After all, fewer of them died then; many of them had good neighborly relations were happy. True, there were occasionally troubles, but on the whole, the natives were happy.
In 132 C.E. there were those Jews who blindly followed Bar Kokhvah (or Bar Kosovo if you wish a modern misreading) into disaster. There were others who thought the unthinkable and planned for their Judaism to survive. It did by modifying out of existence the insanities which got them into the mess. I hope there are enough of them today so there can be a day after the 9th of Av, and a life after Bar Kosovo
-Ploni
Bar-Kochba,
What possible reason would the Jordanians have to come back into the West Bank, in a situation where they would have all the responsibility and no power, like the PA today? In your condominium/dual citizenship fantasy, which law and which regime governs when Arab and Jew come into conflict? Don't start by assuming that the Jordanians are complete idiots who will do whatever is convenient for Israel. One things Arab regimes are very good at is survival, and Jordan ain't coming to bail out Israel's sorry ass on the West Bank. They've made that pretty clear.
Jordanian-Palestine? Hah! You wish! Under an Israeli occupation or under a Jordanian one it is still the same: An Occupation. And no Palestinian will ever accept that.
The Israeli government is getting really nervous now... If their violence continues you could be seeing the voting in of some Palestinians into the Jerusalem municipal council. Most Palestinians have frowned against this, since it means taking part in the 'Israeli' system, but they too are starting to see their plight of independence go out the window and the plight for EQUALITY being more in the forefront than ever before. Beware: This could be the first step in the quest for equal citizenship, aka. a one state solution...
most ultra zionists are trembling at the current situation. Why do you think they are suddenly being more brazen and up front about the long coveted 'Jordanian Solution' nowadays?
Palestinians have always been creative in their resistance against the occupation (first it was protests, then it was building homes, then it was water reuse-grey water, then it was camera's, and now it's voting...)
I'd like to help you Jerry but the fact is there is no solution so in the absence of one I'd prefer to stand with my own National Community. You described me as subscribing to "Mafia Morality" in the past for taking this stand. So be it.
When the Palestinians produce a Michael Collins they will get a state. Until that time, we cannot accommodate them.
David --
If the Palestinians produce a Michael Collins -- a leader who organizes assassination squads, kills advisors to the government, acts against the policy of his own duly elected government, organizes an army, and gets himself killed in a civil war -- then they may be accomodated by Israel, as you said.
After all, the Jews, like the British, only understand the language of force....
Jerry you forget that Collins accepted the Free State instead of holding out for an "Irish Republic" the British weren't prepared to give in 1921. The Palestinians have never produced that kind of pragmatism. If that was the case they would have accepted Ehud Barak's proposal eight years ago!
Joachim Martillo said...
When I have time, I will propose a hypothesis involving the theory of Gramscian hegemonic blocking of discourse and the nature of the imperial system in which Israeli Jews find themselves.
For now I will point out that the question is not specific to Israel proper but relates to Jewish relations with Muslims everywhere.
See Subjugating American Muslims to Israel .
This blog entry addresses not only the synchronic aspect of the problem, but the historical pattern as well:
In Facts versus Delusions in Jewish History, I wrote semi-facetiously:
From the sixteenth century onward important historical events almost invariably take place first in Poland at least from the standpoint of Judaism but often in general.
For example, Commonwealth Poland became the first modern failed state in the seventeenth century.
In Yiddish Civilization, the Rise and Fall of a Forgotten Nation (pp. 235-6), Paul Kriwaczek discusses the role of Jews in sixteenth and seventeenth century Ukraine, which was then part of Commonwealth Poland.
This Yiddish takeover of the wild and lawless Ukraine's economy could be expected to have involved much exploitation and corrupt abuse of monopoly. Jews tried hard to keep such businesses as the collection of customs dues and taxes to themselves. Surviving customs records from the 1580s are written in a mixture of Yiddish and Hebrew. The historian Shimon Dubnow quotes a resolution passed by the Jewish Lithuanian Council, the Vaad Medina Litoh, ruling body of the Jewish estate: "We have openly seen the great danger deriving from the operation of customs in Gentile hands; for the customs to be in Jewish hands is a pivot on which everything turns, since thereby Jews may exert control."
The alliance between ruthless Polish nobles and insecure Yiddish frontiersmen proved dangerous and destructive. The Jews now held a position that nothing in their background or religious law had properly prepared them for. They had been placed in authority over another people, of another social order, another culture and another religion, a people whom the magnates, the Jews' masters, regarded as racially inferior and fair game for callous exploitation. Tragically, shaking off the restraining influence of wiser counsels of the West, the repeated warnings of the rabbis of metropolitan Cracow, Posen and Lublin, the Yiddish businessmen who flocked to the colony came to regard the peasantry in a similar light.
Today Neocons and Friedmanites have globally taken the place of the Yiddish proto-capitalists of pre-modern Ukraine. The Chmielnicki Rebellion, which represented the beginning of the collapse of Commonwealth Poland, could easily pale in comparison with the sort of world-wide political and economic disaster that the new Jewish elite is courting today.
Who says that the Palestinians haven't produced a "Michael Collins"? How many languish in those jails without due process? The resistance will continue so long as this occupation continues. It's a fact that is well supported by history.
David, you forget that the PLO accepted the State of Israel in 1988 and accepted the Oslo process which placed them in a status of a subaltern population, subject to the control and whim of Israel.The degree of autonomy and control that they accepted was far less than anything that Collins would have accepted. And yet when they came to the final settlement -- late, I may add, because Israel did not adhere to timetables -- what was offered them was a "state minus", to use the Hebrew phrase and not a Free Republic.
Perhaps the tragedy is not that the Palestinians have not produced a Collins -- I think Arafat is actually the most likely candidate -- but that the Jews have not produced the sort of statesmen that England produced. Instead, they have assassinated and jailed generations of Palestinian leaders, after they helped foster Hamas as a counterweight to the PLO.
You also seem to forget that the Jewish claim to statehood in Palestine was, in the eyes of the world, no greater than the Palestinian claim, and that the Partition Resolution accepted by the UN in 1947 recognized the legitimate rights of the Palestinians to a state in Palestine, not a "free republic" subject to a colonial authority. That is another disanalogy.
As far as I know, neither Collins nor any other Irish disputed England's claim to sovereignty in England. The fact that you take for granted Israel's sovereignty over territories gained in the 1948war, and put them in the same category as English sovereignty, follows from your uncritical acceptance of the Zionist narrative. This narrative says that that the Palestinians have no legitimate claim to a state in any part of mandate Palestine, that Israel in the 1948 borders is unquestionable legitimate, and that in any ultimate peace settlement it will retain effective control over the West Bank and Gaza, while allowing the natives a great amount of autonomy in running their daily lives.
Collins would have died laughing.
Joachim-I like your historical anaylsis & bringing in Antonio Gramsci.
Jerry-The British leadership in 1921 was nothing to write home about. Lloyd-George caved in because he had to get out of Ireland. And Collins accepted the partition of Ireland, a "Free State" under the British crown with British control over key Irish ports, and "Free State" officials asked to swear allegiance to King George V. Would Arafat or Abbas accept such a deal?
Are you kidding??? Would Israel have offered the Palestinians a deal akin to what Great Britain offered Ireland -- no Israeli troops or monitors on Palestinian soil, a complete withdrawal to the 1967 borders, the ability of the Palestinian Free Republic to have a standing army (like Canada, Australia, or New Zealand), control over their natural resources?
If you think so, then boy, you have my vote for Israeli prime minister.
But let's get serious; the situations were vastly different. Ireland since the nineteenth century was in union with Great Britain and the Irish sat in the British Parliament. A closer analogy would be if the Palestinian Arabs in the Galilee would demand home rule, followed by succession and independence.
Analogies aside -- the question is whether Arafat, liked Collins, was willing to compromise on something less than his maximum demands. And the answer is obviously yes -- he did that time and time again. He was even willing to accept certain limitations on Palestinian sovereignty that Israel would not have accepted on theirs -- see the Taba Moratinos nonpaper:
http://www.mideastweb.org/moratinos.htm
Had Israel said to the Palestinians, "Look -- we will now sign a peace treaty with you that says by the end of five years we shall withdraw to the 67 borders, remove the settlers, repatriate a significant number of Palestinian refugees, and allow you a standing army, sovereignty over East Jerusalem, and complete control over your ports, airspace, and natural resources -- provided that both you and we do our best to stop terrorism -- and the compliance of this agreement will be judged by the UN, or Quartet, etc., then Arafat would have signed -- provided he would have assurances from the US and the Quarter that Israel would live up to its agreements.
Or -- had Israel said that the problem of the refugees would be negotiated over ten years, then Arafat would have accepted a partial agreement.
But Israel didn't say that. Israel said: This is our offer; take it or leave it (it then kept changing the offer) -- and as part of the settlement you have to declare that you have no further claims in the future. That point was very important to the Israeli side.
Sort of like saying to Collins: you know, if you behave, you *may* get something a lot less than a free state -- something, indeed, a lot less than you already have in Ireland today.
Jerry-Lloyd George threatened Collins with war if he didn't accept partition and the Free State and yes I could get a similar deal through if I led the Israeli government.

Tennessee's Office of the Attorney General Offers Strong Defense Of Pro-Life Amendment
U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Considers Merits of Pro-Abortion Challenge
Tennessee Right to Life expresses profound gratitude to the Office of Tennessee's Attorney General for strongly defending the 2014 election outcome on pro-life Amendment 1. In particular, Sarah Campbell, special assistant to the Attorney General, was well prepared and indefatigable last week when arguing that the state's manner of counting votes on Amendment 1 properly followed the process laid forth by the Tennessee Constitution.
"Tennessee did exactly what it had done in prior elections, exactly what it told voters it was going to do and exactly what the constitution says," Campbell told the 3-judge panel who heard oral arguments in the Planned Parenthood challenge of pro-life Amendment 1.
"There was no basis for the federal court to intervene," she said, adding that former federal judge Kevin Sharp's pro-abortion ruling last year ordering a recount of ballots "infringes on Tennessee's sovereignty."
Campbell was joined at the counsel table by Attorney General Senior Counsel Janet Klinefelter which presented a striking contrast to the all-male team of pro-abortion lawyers, led by former TN Bar President Bill Harbison.
Harbison sought to argue that the state's manner of counting votes on Amendment 1 was discriminatory and somehow favored pro-life voters because, according to Harbison, pro-abortion voters were not allowed the same "strategic" opportunity to influence the outcome of the election. In response, Clinton-appointed Judge Ron Gilman asked Harbison ""Wouldn't it be compelled voting if you have to vote for governor to have your [amendment] vote count?"
Harbison seemed to agree, acknowledging "tension" interpreting Tennessee's state's voting requirements. He concluded by calling efforts in support of Amendment 1 "tainted and fundamentally unfair."
The small courtroom was filled with pro-life advocates in support of Amendment 1 and several pro-abortion plaintiffs including former Planned Parenthood Board Chair Tracey George. Justices took the case, Tracey George et al v. Tre Hargett et al. under advisement and no time table for a decision is provided.

Question: We are in charge of a large number of students in their residences, and we have devised a special program for them to raise their Islaamic awareness. This includes inviting one of the Imaams of the mosques in the city who is known for his beautiful voice, to lead them in Fajr prayer, hoping that this will motivate them with the Qur'aan. Please note that the regular Imaam of the mosque has agreed to this. What is the shar'i ruling on this?
So if this Imaam has a beautiful voice and recites well, and that will motivate these students, then there is nothing wrong with that, especially since the regular Imaam has given permission for that. The regular Imaam is to be thanked for giving his permission as that serves an interest.


Juxtaposing outsourcing and crowdsourcing in his 2006 article for WIRED magazine, Jeff Howe coined the term for crowdsourcing by discussing how an early photo sharing website, iStockphoto, capitalized on this idea and put the common stock photographer out of business. No longer are stock photos outsourced to photographers when you can purchase the photo for a $1 from the crowd on iStockphoto.
Wikipedia, a major user of crowdsourcing with a community of editors and contributors, define crowdsourcing as a "distributed problem-solving and production model…. problems are broadcast to an unknown group of solvers in the form of an open call for solutions." Some of the major advantages of crowdsourcing include the way problems can be solved quickly and more cost effectively, the organization is able to utilize a broader talent base than already available, and the organization is able to build a type of symbiotic relationship with potential clients and consumers.
However, crowdsourcing is not limited just to the internet. In 2011, the idea of crowdsourcing was used famously in advertisement on the most televised event of the year. Doritos ran the "Crash the Super Bowl" campaign where fans could create their own advertisements for a chance to win prestige, $25,000 and a trip to the big game.
Even though critics of crowdsourcing often point to the lack of a written contract with participants, the difficulty of collaborating work among a large pool of participants or the potential for additional cost to bring the project to a conclusion – crowdsourcing is growing in popularity.
At EnVeritas Group we are a leading content marketing firm that provides all the advantages of crowdsourcing with a well-managed proprietary process that is designed to create, manage and distribute effective content. We utilize a network of 2,000 writers to create engaging and original content that is authentic, dependable and honest. You receive all the benefits of crowdsourcing and the ability to localize your content in over 40 languages, but we manage the process for you.

Q: TooTallNate's Websockets library WSS issue Used TooTallNate's Websockets library to implement websocket server, it works perfect.
Now I need to implement Websockets secure. I created keystore as in  example and implemented WSS server.
Created keystore like this:
keytool -genkey -validity 3650 -keystore "keystore.jks" -storepass "storepassword" -keypass "keypassword" -alias "default" -dname "CN=127.0.0.1, OU=MyOrgUnit, O=MyOrg, L=MyCity, S=MyRegion, C=MyCountry"
(also tried to create keystore with -keyalg RSA parameter)
Now when I trying to connect the server with my JS client, successfull connect attempts are only 10% of all attempts. In rest 90% cases, Chrome console says TIMEOUT for WSS connection.
Tried to connect server using OpenSSL, WSS server provides certificate only one time after server starts.
From console with -Djavax.net.debug=all VM parameter:

On October 26, 2016, two TK-E-140 railway transporters and three TK-U-141 railway transporters were successfully tested and accepted at AO UK BMZ. The railway transporters are designed to transport TUK-140 and TUK-141O shipping packages containing spent nuclear fuel of VVER-440 and VVER-1000 reactors by rail.
Under the contract with AO FCNRS for manufacture and delivery of railway transporters, the Sosny R&D Company coordinated the elaboration of the Statement of Work and Detailed Design, manufacture activities at Bryansk Machine-Building Plant and in-process, acceptance and certification tests.
