In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
 
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"
 
Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

A Piece of Jannat is up for sale !

Are there any buyers ??
By Asma bint Shameem

 

 

Subhaan Allaah! The beautiful month of Ramadaan is flying by! Its blessed days and fragrant nights are soon about to leave. And it breaks our hearts to let it go.


Yet, O Muslim, Rejoice! For there is good news for you!
A great opportunity is about to dawn upon you......

A once-in -a -lifetime chance !


Its an offer that you cannot pass by!

Allah Subhaanahu wa Taala, in his Infinite Mercy, has bestowed upon you a Great and Noble night.....
Its the Night of Power…. the Night of  Divine Decree.
A Night in which angels descend and send salutations to the believers…
A Night of innumerable blessings…..full of  PEACE and tranquility….
A Night…… in which, Ibadah is better than a thousand months.

 

"The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months."

(Surah al-Qadr:3)

 



A thousand months! Subhaan Allaah!
That is equal to 30,000 nights or 83 years and 4 months!
Could there be a better chance for you than this??!!
Could there be a more Merciful Lord than this??!!
Subhaan Allaah wal Hamdulillaah!
 


Here is your chance to repent….to come back to the Most Merciful….to change your life for the better.
This is your chance to have ALL your previous sins forgiven!


"Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven" (Bukhaari)

 

This is a perfect opportunity to earn Allaahs pleasure…..being saved from Hellfire and entering Jannah.

A time when your dua will surely be accepted.






What to do on Laylatul Qadr?

 

1) Search for this night in the LAST TEN nights of Ramadaan (not just the 27th)

Dont just single out one night for Ibadaat. Make sure to do it ALL TEN NIGHTS or atleast on 21st , 23rd , 25th , 27th ,29th nights , because the EXACT date for Lailatul Qadr is hidden from us.


What if Lailatul Qadr is some other night and not on the 27th ?? Have you ever thought about that? Then you would have no one to blame but yourself if you miss this great Night….this perfect opportunity of goodness and blessings.

"Seek Laylat al-Qadr among the odd numbered nights of the last ten nights of Ramadaan." (Bukhaari, Muslim)








2) Strive HARD in your search, worshiping Allaah sincerely and diligently

This your chance to earn Jannah. So give it ALL you got…. everything you have.


"The Prophet (pbuh)used to used to strive hard in worship during the last ten days of Ramadaan as he never did at any other time." (Muslim, Ahmad)







3) Prepare for it mentally and physically

Take off work, if you can and go for Umrah or make Itikaaf in the Masjid.

Dont overtire yourself during the day, such that you dont have any energy left to worship the Almighty.

Plan out your worship schedule for the night
Take a nap during the day, if possible and remember…do not overeat!






4) Shun worldly pleasures

Dont waste A SINGLE MOMENT of your time, such as spending this precious time in the mall, shopping for Eid or in extravagant 'Iftaar-cum-fashion show' parties.


Stay away from anything and everything that might distract you from remembering Allaah (TV, movies, music, unnecessary phone calls, gossip, etc.)


"When the last ten days of Ramadaan began, the Prophet (pbuh) would tighten his waist-wrapper (meaning he would stay away from marital relations), spend his nights in prayer, and wake his family." (Muslim)








5) Spend these nights in prayer, reciting Quraan, making dua, doing istighfaar.


Stand LONG in Qiyaam….hands folded obediently…your head low, in shame…humbly
Eyes downcast….hearts trembling…tears rolling…..
Tears of regret and sorrow…..tears of repentance and shame
Spread out your hands….like a beggar, begging for his life….
Ask Allaah to forgive you and He will forgive you.
Beg for his Mercy and He will give it to you.
Beseech Him to guide you and save you from the torments of Hell.
Be determined that you will rectify your mistakes and improve your shortcomings
Resolve to be steadfast in your Commitment and be firm in your Deen

Read Quraan, do much Tasbeeh, glorify Allaah, praise Him and thank Him.

Make lots of dua for yourself, your family, your friends and the Muslim Ummah.







6) DONT BE THE ONE WHO SLEEPS and misses out on immeasurable goodness


One who misses this blessed night has indeed missed much goodness, for no one misses it except for the one from whom it is withheld.


" In it (i e. Ramadaan) is a night better than a thousand months, whoever loses the benefit of it has lost something irreplaceable." (Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i)


There are many chances to sleep, but a chance like this is rare to come by ….only once a year. And that also if you are lucky to be alive next year.


Are you going to miss a golden chance like this one…..sleeping??
Or are you going to be like the one who maybe just prays a few rakaat and thinks he's done enough and is eager to go back to sleep??
Think about it......Isn't there plenty of time to sleep??
Havent we been sleeping all this while, anyway?? Havent we "SLEPT"  enough, O Muslim??!!

 Actually…….ISNT IT ABOUT TIME WE WOKE UP???!!


Life is about opportunities. They say the wise man is the one who makes the most of his opportunities. Here is an opportunity to buy a piece of Jannah.
A piece of Jannah is up for sale! Are there any buyers??






The Duaa to make on Lailatul Qadr 

 

Note: There is nothing that is narrated in the Quraan or Sunnah regarding Ibaadat such as prayer , duas, etc. that is to be specifically read on Lailatul Qadr EXCEPT just one hadeeth from Aisha (RA) when she asked the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam):

 

"I said, 'O Messenger of Allaah, if I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say on that night?' He said, 'Say:

 

Allaahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibb al-afwa fa affu anni

(O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me)."

(Tirmidhi)


All the other duas and formulas for prayers that you see in some books and papers that are to be read a certain number of times or to be read in a specific order, or to be read in Salaah in a specific way, are ALL bidah. There is NO PROOF in the Qur'aan or Sunnah for their validity. Stay away from that.
 


Remember, Allaah will accept your Ibaadah only and only if it is:
a) done sincerely for Him alone
b) if it is done according to what the Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) himself did or said or approved of.
Otherwise it will be thrown back on the person who did it, without being accepted, no matter what it is.
 
He (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) said: "Every action that is not in accordance with this matter of ours [i.e. Islam] will be rejected." (Muslim)
 
May Allaah save us from that. Ameen.
 
As-Salaam Walekum

ps: remember to remember me and my parents in your duaas.

1. Absolutely correct. That is why Subramanian Swamy, Mohan Bhagwat, Gadkari, Murali Manohar Joshi, Somnath Chatterjee, Anand Sharma & co are cursing the caste census. 
 
2. We need a 'Quit India' type movement to liberate the majority Sudra Hindus from the tyranical Tilak-Talwar-Tarazu minority Hindus and the so called Sudra satanic leaders.

Dear Mr. Kaul:
 
I do not know anything about you, your age, educational background or profession.  I do not remember communicating with you. If you have not understood anything about what I have been posting on this forum, then I have to conclude that you will not know anything about the world we are living in.
 
I regret that most of the upper caste Hindus are too blind to see the real world, where Veda and Hinduism have no place. It was and is ruled by the swords and now by the guns.
 
But I would request you to be polite to the older people, which is our culture. How could you know that I do not have the knowledge about science or the history of Hindu religion? Do not try to insult me as I do not care to respond to the people like you.
 
Thanks.

Dear Mr. Ram Gopal:
Your feeling for the Hindus is commendable, but sir, there never was or is today anything called "A Hindu Nation" or even a Hindu religious organization.
 
Are you all so foolish to think of  a "Hindu Freedom Movement,"   when even the touch of a fellow hindu of the low caste defiles the upper castes? You, like every other Hindu are ignoring the most unpleasant TRUTH about our History. Emotion does not work and shouting about the Hindus is and has always been useless.
 
There are the different provinces with their different languages and even different Hindu religious rituals. Then there are the castes. A Brahmin would not even eat with any upper caste Hindu and 80% of the Hindu low castes were never considered as fellow Hindus and are never given any dignity as human beings.
 
There are also educational and economial differences. The uper caste Hindus like you, are totally ignorant and that is why the Hindus always lost and few like you are only shouting. No, it does not work. It is a WAR for survival and in this war we need the necessary STRATEGY, WHICH is reforming HINDUISM, which is nothing but CASTEISM, Brahminical excesses, inhumanity and hate for other castes of the Hindus.
 
Naturally the Muslims always won and even today, the Muslims of India, who should not be there, are controlling India. Which country on earth pays money to the Muslims for Haaj? 
 
Every upper caste Hindu is shouting about "Aryan Invasion Theory,"  origin and architecture of Taj Mahal, Ram Setu and every irrelevant thing, but cannot think of how to UNITE and create a HINDU Nation, where the lowliest of the Hindus will be integral parts of this Hindu NATION. So throw away your Hindu rituals, SHUT up your GURUS, the greatest enemies of the Hindus.
 
Banish the names of those who consider Hindu Muslim Bhai Bhai, like Gandhi, Nehru, Netaji and even Thakur Ram Ktrishna. In the biological struggle  only the stongest will survive.
 
Japan discarded the Samurai/Shogan tradition overnight and went to get Europen science and Technology. And see the result.
 
The Hindus want Charak,Shasrut , Rama Rajya and Sanskrit back. Adapt anything that is going to unite the Hindus. If you can read and understand HISTORY, you will see that HINDUISM is our cyanide.
 
I wrote all about it in my 3 books. Read them for free and accept my advices, otherwise nothing of whatever of the Hindus are left will disappear. Thanks.

Dear freinds,
 
        Shri Upananda Brahamchari is absolutely right to say "Hindus should start a Hindu Freedom Movement in India." , the reason being that on August 15, 1947, Hindus got only Partition of their motherland to make room for Islamists' Pakistan. Hindus got rid of the British yoke only to fall under the worse yoke of anti-Hindu Hindus, who have been ruling over them as proxies of Islamists. It hppened because their leaders on whom they put their entire faith acted trecherously. As a result, Muslims have Pakistan as their fixed deposit and have a lion's Share in Hindu Bharat.
 
          The situation can be altertered in favour of Hindus only if Hindus start their real freedom fight, with a far greater force than what they used against the British, because because their enemies are more powerful and more ruthless.

"Hindus should start a Hindu Freedom Movement in India." – Brahmachari.

Hindu Majority and Freedom is a must in India to retain its Democracy and Integrity as told by Upananda Brahamachari in his maiden speech in a strong gathering over 1,000 people at Birnagar, Kaliachak III block in Malda District in a grand celebration of 64th Independence Day by Hindu Samhati (HS) local committee.

In the morning of 15th August, 2010, a large rally by Hindu Samhati workers rejuvenated the local areas in its march with patriotic slogans and songs. The rally led by Chittaranjan Dey. Gen. Secretary and Mukunda Koley of Hindu Samhati along with the presence of Upananda. The anti Hindu and anti Indian element of the areas went to underground for the hours of activities whereas a large Hindu crowd participated and supported openly the Independence Day Function organized by Hindu Samhati in a Muslim populated District of West Bengal. Malda, Murshidbad and Uttar Dinajpur, these three districts have been came under the fold of ISI and DGFI, where the National and Hindu celebrations are restricted.

In his speech Upananda said that the influx of Bangladeshi Muslims, uncontrolled Muslim population, Pak supported Jihadi activities, Muslim appeasement and Muslim Vote Bank Politics are vehemently jeopardizing the very texture of Indian democracy and integrity. Each and every martyrs sacrificed their lives for the cause of Independence of Akhanda Bharatvarsha (Undivided India). But for personal gain some political leaders of English Culture supported the division of Mother India. Muslims got the Pakistan under the communal design of two nation theory. But Hindus are still deprived of the Hindusthan for their own right of religious, social and political freedom. Unfortunately in the name of political independence of India the Hindus are taxed for their pilgrimages, they are put in Hindu code bills and politically exploited in many ways. Upananda urged the audience to start a Hindu Revolt against the anti Hindu elements in India beside the Hindu Mass Awakening throughout the world to save the civil society against the Islaimc fundamentalism and nasty consumerism grossly affecting the moral values and peace loving people. In reality Hindus in Kashmir and North East have no freedom at all. As Hindus in India got a fractured freedom and exploiting situations, Hindus should start a Hindu Freedom Movement without any delay.

Local Samhati leaders viz. Dijen Mondal, Sanjoy Ghosh and Gen. Secretary of HS Chitaranjan Dey also addressed the meeting. The function was started with hoisting the Indian National Flag and ended with National Song.

Suddhi Yajna (Purification Rituals) held in Chatra, North 24 Pargans in West Bengal by Hindu Samhati.

 
On 4th July, 2010 at Chatra Sutanuti Par under Baduria Police Station a miscreant and communal Muslim family served beef to four Hindu children in their family rituals by trick. After eating beef the children were farced and humiliated. With the spread of such obnoxious and filthy attitude the local Hindus got furious. They protested the matter vehemently and reported the local authorities with no result. Consequently the aggrieved Hindu people contacted with Hindu Samhati (HS) local unit and the Bharat Sevashram Sangha (BSS) H.Q. at Kolkata. Hindus of the areas also cautioned the Muslims for their unethical activities.

On 16th August, 2010 the Hindu Samhati organized a big Hindu Jagaran Sabha and protest rally with a Suddhi Yajna (Purification Rituals) by the saints of BSS. A huge number of local Hindus participated the whole function to make it a grand success. Over 1000 Hindus joined the function to show their solidarity against any humiliation against Hindus.

HS leader Ajit Adhikary reached the spot with HS activists to protect any untoward incidents on the day of Hindu Jagaran Sabha on 16th from the starting. HS leaders Avijit Das (Bangaon), Dulal Sardar (Machlandapur) gave a short speech narrating the crisis of Hindus under a Muslim majority.

Sri Tarun Netai Das of ISKCON told Muslims are habituated with such filthy activities and conspiracy as Allah was a great cheater and Mohammed is the most fraud personality to demoralize the Muslims. He gave many examples to strengthen his speech. Sri Das categorically said that in such an ignorant fault of children, the Dharma cannot be injured or affected anyway.
Chanting of Hare Krishna can purify all the imperfection and fault of any thing.

Swami Suvorupanandaji of Bharat Sevashram Sangha told Muslims have been trying to dismantle the Hindu Unity and Rights from the very beginning. After getting the Pakistan the Muslims should go to Pakistan and have no right to disturb or destroy the Hindu rights. If the Muslims still do not believe the greatness of Hindus or try to understand the nature of co-existence and harmony of Indian philosophy, they should vacate this holy land of Bharat and can go to their pak land Pakistan. The Swami urged the Hindu youth to show their valour and fighting spirit against the anti Hindu conspiracy. Swami Anishananda of Hindu Milan Mondir Central Committee of BSS also addressed the meeting.

Speakers also spoke about over the situation of refugee Hindus of Bangladesh facing Islamic torture in the border districts of West Bengal. The local Hindu Women leaders viz. Sikha Biswas and Bidhu Sikdar and the Mothers of the related families also supported in their speech, the cause of such Hindu Social Congregation for the unity of Hindu Society.

Hindu Samhati leadership assured that the organization will be fighting unto last to restore the dignity of Bengali Hindus of West Bengal in every situation of crisis of Hindus. There was emphasis over the unity of all Hindu Organizations to tackle such situation of Hindus. He said the Chatra Hindu Jagaran Sabha has a great importance as BHARAT SEVASHRAM SANGHA, ISKCON and HINDU SAMHATI jointly took the challenge to defeat the Islamic conspiracy in Bengal and India too.

Avijit Mishra of Hindu Samhati (Chatra Unit) conducted the meeting very befittingly. All the Hindu Devotees present in the function was served with Khichuri Prasadam.

Prime Minister's Office

Prime Minister Lays Foundation Stone For NTPC-BHEL Manufacturing Plant At Mannavaram, Ap

New Delhi: September 1, 2010.

 

The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh laid the foundation stone of NTPC-BHEL Power Projects Private Limited's manufacturing plant at Mannavaram village in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh today. Following is the text of the PM's speech on the occasion:

 "It is a pleasure for me to participate in this function to lay the foundation stone of the manufacturing plant being set up by NTPC – BHEL Power Projects Limited, a joint venture company of National Thermal Power Corporation and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited.

This is indeed a moment of pride for all of us. But it is also an occasion to pay tribute to a very tall leader from Andhra Pradesh – Dr. Y. S. Rajshekhar Reddy. Tomorrow will be the first death anniversary of Rajshekharji. It was his untiring efforts that brought this project to the backward area of Chittoor district. The manufacturing plant being set up here will always remind us of the great love and affection that Rajashekharji had for the people of Andhra Pradesh and this area. It will stand testimony to the concern he felt for the welfare of his people.

I also commend the leadership of my Cabinet colleagues Shri Vilasrao Deshmukh, Minister of Heavy Industries and Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde, Minister of Power, and Shri K. Rosaiah, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in taking this project forward. I congratulate them for the meticulous planning that has gone into the project and the speedy allotment of land for it. The project also exemplies the importance of coordination between the Central Government and the State Governments.

Availability of affordable power is of critical importance for our country's development. We must bridge the gap between the supply and demand of power if we are to achieve higher rates of economic growth on a sustained basis. Therefore, we have drawn up an ambitious programme for addition of power generation capacity in the 11th and 12th five year plans. This large addition in our power generation capacity will mean a much larger demand for power equipment. I am happy that our public sector has come forward to take a lead in manufacturing power equipment in our country to help us achieve our targets in the power sector. Our two Navratna Companies - National Thermal Power Corporation and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited have joined hands to form a new company thus bringing together their vast experience and expertise.

I am told that an amount of nearly Rs.6000 crore will be invested over a period of five years to fully establish this manufacturing plant. The plant will be able to produce power equipment required for additional capacity of 5000 MW per year by 2014-15. It will provide direct employment to 6000 men and women and indirect employment to another 25000. I also appreciate the vision of state government to have a large industrial hub around this plant.

I am sure that this manufacturing plant will go a long way in improving the economic condition of the people of this backward region. I wish it all success. I also wish the people of Andhra Pradesh and Chittoor district prosperity and happiness for the future."

Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation

Slum free Guwahati

New Delhi: September 1, 2010.

 

The President of India, through her address to both houses of Parliament in June 2009, announced the Government's vision for inclusive urban growth and to create a slum free India in five years through the Rajiv Awas Yojana. It is envisaged that funding support from the Government would be extended to states that are willing to assign property rights to slum dwellers. Slum-free India is an aspirational goal for the nation. As States will choose cities, conduct slum surveys in these cities, prepare Slum-free City Plans adopting a 'whole city' 'whole slum' approach, the progress of the scheme in individual states would depend on the pace at which the state assigns property rights to slum dwellers, completes tasks to prepare slum-free city plans, develop and implement projects, mobilizing resources and manpower duly taking into account the central support.

To address the problems of slums arising due to demographic and development-related factor in cities/towns, including those like Guwahati, the Government launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) on 3.12.2005 to assist cities and towns in taking up housing and infrastructural facilities for the urban poor/slum dwellers in 65 select Mission cities, including Guwahati under the Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP) Programme. For other cities/towns, for taking up housing and slum upgradation programmes, the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) has been launched with the objective to strive for holistic slum development, with a healthy and enabling environment, by providing adequate shelter and basic infrastructure facilities to the slum dwellers. Both BSUP and IHSDP are under implementation since December-2005.

The Government has also decided to launch a new scheme called Rajiv Awas Yojana for slum dwellers and the urban poor. Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) aims to extend support to States that are willing to assign property rights to people living in slum areas for provision of shelter and basic infrastructure and civic amenities in slums. The preparatory phase of RAY has been launched under the "Slum-free City Planning Scheme" for undertaking preparatory activities of RAY with a budget of Rs. 120 Crore. A sum of Rs. 76.34 lakh has been released to Government of Assam in March-2010 for undertaking activities such as slum survey, developing slum MIS, GIS mapping of slums, integration of GIS & MIS and preparation of slum-free city plans and projects.

New Delhi: September 1, 2010.

 

With a view to ameliorate the living conditions of urban poor, Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation is implementing an employment oriented urban poverty alleviation programme named Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), on all India basis (including the State of Orissa) since 1.12.1997. The scheme aims to provide gainful employment to the urban poor by assisting them in setting up of individual/group enterprises as well as utilising their labour for the construction of socially useful public assets. The scheme has been comprehensively revamped by the Government, with effect from 1st  April 2009. The revamped SJSRY has the following components:

(i)                  Urban Self Employment Programme (USEP) - targets individual urban poor for setting up of micro-enterprises.

(ii)                Urban Women Self-help Programme (UWSP) - targets urban poor women self-help groups for setting up of group-enterprises and providing them assistance through a revolving fund for thrift & credit activities.

(iii)               Skill Training for Employment Promotion amongst Urban Poor (STEP-UP)-targets urban poor for imparting quality training so as to enhance their employability for self-employment or better salaried employment.

(iv)         Urban Wage Employment Programme (UWEP)- seeks to assist urban poor living in towns having population less than 5 lakhs as per 1991 census, by utilizing their labour for the construction of socially and economically useful public assets.

(iv)              Urban Community Development Network (UCDN) - seeks to assist the urban poor in organizing themselves in self- managed community structures so as to gain collective strength to address the poverty related issues facing them and to participate in the effective implementation of urban poverty alleviation programmes.

Under the Scheme of Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY), Central funds are tentatively allocated and released to the States/UTs in proportion to the number of urban poor in the States/UTs. During the year 2009-2010, Rs. 1476.59 Lakhs have been released to Orissa under Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY). The eligible components, where this amount has to be utilized, are Urban Self-employment Programme, Urban Women Self-help Programme, Urban Wage Employment Programme, Skill Training for Employment Promotion amongst Urban Poor and Urban Community Development Network as well as Administrative & other expenses, as per the guidelines of the scheme. The Utilisation Certificates for this amount will be due only in the year 2011-2012.

Northeast Frontier Railway uses High-Tech for Remote Operation of Pumps

New Delhi: September 1, 2010.

 

In an interesting innovative initiative using modern day's high-tech INTERNET and GPS technology, Northeast Frontier Railway has developed a system for automation of water pumps at some select stations so as to automatically run pumps thereby saving manpower and electrical energy. This system has been implemented at four stations of Rangiya Division in Northeast Frontier Railway namely Tezpur, Tangla, Majbat and Rangjuli.

 

Under this system, pump is attached with a unit based on mobile phone technology and command is given from internet based program from where any pump can be switched on/off from any part of the world either directly or on scheduled programme based on requirement of water. This is a self intelligent system. For example – if schedule for running of pump is from 7.00 to 8.00 hrs. and in between supply goes off in that condition whenever supply is resorted, system runs the pump automatically for remaining time of schedule and water supply is made available.

 

Other most important aspect of the system is that the health of pump is monitored every 15 minutes in the form of parameter such as running hour, voltage, current drawn and energy consumed. These parameters are saved automatically in a file in internet and can be seen any time for any period for analysis if required.

 

Another special feature is that if any abnormality happens in the system, SMS in the form of alert comes to concerned supervisor so that prompt corrective action may be taken immediately to rectify the problem.

Fwd: MY 158th OPEN MESSAGE TO ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL

MY 158th OPEN MESSAGE TO ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL

It is both bewildering and horrifying to watch the poisonous zionist propaganda and influence spreading by zionist impostors like Uri Avnery and Noam Chomsky amongst Palestinian websites and blogs. Websites of Ma'an, Miftah and Palestine Chronicle are the leading offenders, but the zionist propaganda by the two zionist impostors continues to spread like wild fires.Worst of all, it is happening with the tacit approval - if not at the instigation ! - of the top Palestinian leaders. This weblog has many posts in which I have exposed and condemned these phenomena, mainly in regard to the zionist propaganda pieces by Uri Avnery, the top Israeli zionist impostor.

Noam Chomsky, the top zionist impostor in the USA ,whom Uri Avnery admires and follows (similar to his affinity with the Vladimir Jabotinsky ideology) has been recently busy with manipulations other than the Palestine cause, but his influence over supporters of the Palestinian cause is still very strong. This has now been observed by Prof. James Petras. In an article titled, The State and Local Bases of Zionist Power in America, he analyses the structure of zionist influence in the USA. Here is how he points out Chomsky has been deceiving and subverting the Left for the benefit of the zionist apartheid regime of Israel:

"Those who deny Zionist power over US Mid East foreign policy are left-Zionists namely Noam Chomsky and his acolytes. They never analyze the legislative process, executive decision-making, the structures and activity of the million member Zionist grassroots and the appointments and background of key policy makers deciding strategic policies in the Middle East."
(see : http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_61053.shtml ).

However, Petras is optimistic and he supports the BDS campaign - to which Noam Chomsky and Uri Avnery are opposed - as follows :

"As the major Zionist organizations and influentials have accumulated power and abused the exercise of power on behalf of an increasingly bloody racist state, which flaunts its dominance over US institutions, public opposition is growing. The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign is gaining strength even in the US (see Harvard divestment in Israeli companies). US public support for Israel, by all measures, has dropped below 50%, while polls in Western Europe show a marked increase in hostility to Israel's ultra-rightist regime. Anti-Zionist Jews are growing in influence especially among young Jews who are appalled by the Israeli slaughter in Gaza and assault on the humanitarian flotilla. Equally important the presence of anti-Zionist Jews on panels and forums has given courage to many otherwise intimidated non-Jews who heretofore were fearful of being labeled "anti-Semitic"."

The official support and trust of the zionist impostors by Palestinian leaders must stop, as should their approval of the betrayal by Raji Sourani of myself and my daughter and son to the zionist Gestapo torture here, in Australia.

Obviously, with every passing day of Palestinian betrayal of my daughter, of my son and of myself to the zionist Gestapo; and with very passing day of the zionist Gestapo's ongoing deadly torture of us; and with every passing day of treachery by Raji Sourani and his cronies the Palestinian cause is diminished, the international solidarity with it is shrinking, and the Palestinian self inflicted disasters would multiply.


Under such circumstances the only hope left for us is the solidarity protests by all people of good will around the world.

I therefore ask again every reader to send immediately protest messages to the following email addresses, and with a copy to my email address (ben.merhav@gmail.com or benjaminmerhav@hotmail.com ).

1. to the Australian government (email  Julia.Gillard.MP@aph.gov.au;r.mcclelland.mp@aph.gov.au) a message along the following lines :

" I protest the continuous torture of the Australian citizen Benjamin Merhav by sleep deprivation and his daughter and son by psychiatric torture in Melbourne, Australia.

This torture is perpetrated against Benjamin Merhav directly by the clandestine arm of the State of Israel (the zionist Gestapo), and indirectly by the same culprit against Benjamin's daughter and son.

I demand that the Australian government instruct ASIO to protect these Australian citizens, and stop these terrorist crimes by a foreign government on Australian soil immediately !"

2. to ICJ-Australia and ICJ Secretariat (email president@icj-aust.org.au,chair@icj-aust.org.au,sec-gen@icj-aust.org.au,
info@icj.dk,info@icj.org ) a message along the following lines :

"I protest your refusal to investigate Benjamin Merhav's complaint against the Australian government's approval of ASIO's violation of the rule of law in Australia, regarding the continuous torture in Melbourne of himself, his daughter and his son , all Australian citizens, by the clandestine arm of the State of Israel (the zionist Gestapo).

I demand your immediate intervention to protect these Australian citizens, to stop the perpetration of these terrorist crimes In Australia, and to end these violations of the rule of law by the Australian government in Australia."

3. to the PCHR and to all the Palestinian leaders in occupied Palestine ( email english@palestine-info.co.uk ;
pchr@pchrgaza.org ) message along the following
lines :

"I protest the betrayal of Benjamin Merhav by Raji Sourani to the zionist Gestapo's torture. I demand Sourani's replacement on the ICJ and on FIDH with a honest Palestinian patriot who would initiate protest action against the torture of Benjamin Merhav, his daughter, and his son by the zionist Gestapo in Australia.

I demand that the Palestinian leaders encourage Palestinians and their supporters to protest this ongoing terrorist torture by the zionist Gestapo, and to demand that it should stop immediately."
=====================

DISBAND NOW THE ZIONIST APARTHEID REGIME OF

ISRAEL !

A JUST SOLUTION TO THE ZIONIST CONFLICT IN PALESTINE CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT FIRST DISBANDING THE ZIONIST APARTHEID REGIME OF ISRAEL !

FOLLOWING THE DISBANDING OF THIS RACIST REGIME, A DEMOCRATIC, NON-RACIST STATE, TO WHICH ALL THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEES WOULD BE INVITED TO RETURN, SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED ON THE ENTIRE AREA OF HISTORIC PALESTINE !

THIS SHOULD BE WRITTEN INTO THE PLATFORM OF THE BDS MOVEMENT NOW, AS THE PURPOSE OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT OF THE ZIONIST APARTHEID REGIME OF ISRAEL !
