Just a video reminder for all those agitating for "humanitarian" military missions. It all sounds so nice and clean until you find out it's a lot more complicated than all that:
..."This people has a glorious history. Gordon Pasha, who humiliated the Chinese - the Sudanese here cut off his head. The Sudanese wiped out much of the British arrogance, to the point that the British wrote that the Sudanese people is like a sleeping dog that should not be awakened. They provoke us and awaken us, but Allah willing, we will show them."...
..."Even though we are opposed to the killing of any human being in Darfur, when they are the ones talking about this, we will not accept it under any circumstance. If it is the Americans and the British who adopt this case - we will never accept it."...
..."Why Darfur? Darfur is situated on top of the largest fresh-water reservoir in Africa and the world. The next war will be a war over water, and Israel cannot engage in war with the countries in which the Nile originates or flows. To compensate for this, Israel wants to control Darfur, thus gaining control of this fresh water."

"These [foreign] forces will back up the Hebrew forces, which will take over the Nile in order to expand their country. The Torah says: 'Wherever you park your horse caravans, that will be your land.' This means power. For Israel, land is not a geographical or political entity - it is power."z[...] ...
..."The Nifasha agreements and all these disasters, with their clear deceptions and great and deviant evils - the Zionist Satan is behind all this, whether he speaks English, Norwegian, or Italian."...
..."According to the tenets of their belief, in the third millennium they must build Solomon's Temple, and establish the Greater Israel, in order to rule the world for a thousand happy years. We have now entered the seventh year of that third millennium. Therefore, they are pressed for time...
"[Former U.S. president] Carter declared some two years ago: 'We wanted the oil of Sudan to be used for the pleasure of the American people after 2005.'"...
I'm not surprised that Jimmy Carter's stupendous stupidities are quoted in a vilely fanatic, Jew-loathing, ultra-religious context.
Darfur: for all the ones who prattle about "Israel's inhumanity toward the Palestinians!", that is the litmus test as to whether they are honest about their professed care for people in distress.
"Barely a word for Darfur - Israel has been in a diary on dkos over 5000 times in the past year, Darfur less then 1000." - Eyal Rosenberg, on leaving Daily Kos.
