Anti semitism and the Left : Melbourne Indymedia

Fighting anti semitism used to be one of the main tenents of Left wing practice. Unfortunately, the Left has largely relinquished or even tacitly sided with those who condone or practice Anti Semitism.

This has created the scenario where the main defenders of Jews are from the Right, both within the Jewish community and in the larger political sphere. Thus it is largely stated as fact by conservatives world wide that the Left is a main agent of Anti Semitism. Unfortunately, there is a slight grain of truth in this assertion.

Due to the Left's wholesale abandonment of class struggle and embracement of sectoralist politics based on identity, we have come to a situation today where nearly every mainfestation of the Left has embraced a melange of ideals which have little to do with revolution and much more to do with Social Democracy.

One glaring example of the Left's descent into populism and issue based politics is it's embrace of the Palestinian Question under the rubric of anti imperialism and anti colonialism. This has led to the situation where Israel and its corollary, Zionism, are viewed as the worst manifestation of racism and fascism in the world while Islamists and their apologists have been welcomed by the left as freedom fighters.

This political confusion has a precedent. The Iranian revolution. What happened to the the thousands of left wing supporters of the reactionary clerico fascists once Kholmeinhi and his gangster clique of Mullahs attained power? They were jailed and executed en masse. This is the logical outcome of aligning yourself with Islamists or even sharing a platform with them.

It has come to such a parlous state today in Australia that Left wing groups posit wearing the veil as an anti imperialist action and view Israel as being much worse on every human rights indicator than it's neighbours such as Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. In the intellectually bankrupt Left of today there is a moronic level of reductionism which conflates a militant stand against Islamists as somehow support of Bush et al. This comes from the belief that Islam is a religion of the poor and oppressed and thus it cannot be attacked because it somehow reflects a challenge to capitalism. This misguided and extremely dangerous notion comes from the thorougly bourgeois New Left assertion that 'the most oppressed are the most revolutionary' One only needs to study the history of Islam to note that not only is it pro capitalist, but it is militantly and resolutely opposed to the main tenets of the Left such as defence of Women's rights and the defence of Lesbians and Gays.

Recently there was a conference in Melbourne held at Monash University entitled "Anti Semitism and the 21st Century" which was organised by a very conservative University department. David Glanz of the I.S.O and Guy Rundle of Arena magazine were invited to speak, but only as a token to the Right wing agenda of the conference. Far more preference was given to Daniel Pipes from the United States who is extrememly conservative and fanatically anti communist. It has been my experience that the 'leaders' of the Jewish community are largely right wing economic and social conservatives who support Howard. There is active prejudice against the Left from this sector because they are obviously pro capitalist and because they willfully ignore the Left's past resolute fight against Anti Semitism which contradicts their confabulations today.

My point is that when Right wing Jewish groups organise conferences about the Left and Anti Semitism the result is a foregone conclusion. The problem with Left wing groups organising a conference on anti Semitism are that the left ignore or downplay Anti Semitism and that Left wing Jews and others who oppose Anti Semitism from the Left feel excluded from official discourse because it is has become so fixated on blaming Israel and Zionism for the worlds problems.

Witness Indymedia, a supposedly non authoritarian anarchist organisation which permits Anti Semites to post their hate messages freely. Perhaps they should read more about the Anarchist Nestor Makhno and his attitude towards dealing with Anti Semites. Anti Semitism preaches hatred and calls for Jews to be exterminated. That this phenomenon is tolerated in the Left shows how completely bankrupt it has become. That is why an intitiative needs to come from the Left to explicitly line up against Anti Semitism.

Seeing this site is patrolled by so many Right wing maniacs who go largely unchallenged it seems almost fruitless to call for a conference on Anti Semitism organised from the Left. However, I believe it is imperitive that this issue needs to be discussed publicly. We have to out the hate mongerers in the Left as well as combat our enemies on the right. I imagine that most of the Left would think that such a conference is not needed seeing they are busy defending Islamic fundamentalism under the guise of supporting 'oppressed peoples'. My message to misguided Leftists is to talk with Iranian comrades who have been at the receiving end of fundamentalism in 'anti imperialist' jails. Just because the Right is harping on about Islamic fundamentalism all the time doesn't mean we should isolate ourselves from the debate. After all, the American State Department fostered Islamic fundamentalism in the 1950's as a bulwark against Communism. The Left's complicit support of Islam by failing to highlight the abuse committed in it's name equals support not just for the brutal subjugation of women, but also support for our avowed enemies. How can queer Left groups line up with Islamists who would sooner see them dead? Everytime Leftists harp on about the veil being a symbol of anti imperialism I'll show you a photo of women from Algeria who've had acid thrown in their faces in the name of upholding modesty and defending the honour of Islam. Next we'll have Left groups stating that opposition to female genital mutilation is racist and a manifestation of Islamophobia.

Can anyone in the Left tell me about the outcry they have heard from Left wing sources about Syrian and Egyptian television series depicting Jews as ritual murderers and even serialising 'The Elders of the Protocols of Zion'? I doubt it, because funnily enough most people on the Left seem to actually believe that Jews do run the world and they are all filthy rich and they get off oppressing Arabs judged by the almost total refusal to combat such slander.

Last time I looked the late King Hussein of Jordan murdered far more Palestinians than Israel ever did. And the father of modern Palestinan Nationalism the late Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a Nazi supporter who met frequently with Hitler, tried to organise pogroms against Jews in Palestine and even set up Muslim S.S units in Bosnia to kill Communists and Jews. Why is it at every anti war demo I go to I see the Star of David equated with the Swastika? Even an elemental reading of history tells us that the Christian Cross is far more emblematic with Nazism. Yes, Israel is a fucked up country. But why such a pathological obsession with Israel? It wouldn't have something to do that the country is full of Jews? We have come to such a state of affairs whereby the actions of Sharon and the settlers are seen as a manifestation of Jewishness and not the actions of politicians. Equating Zionism with racism is not only grossly offensive it is at a moronic level of political sophistication. If you go to Israel you will see the complexity of the political and social situation there is nothing like the news reports it to be. I am no Israel apologist but the reality is vastly different to the wet dream fantasies of Anti Semites.

I am not holding much hope, but if any Left wingers are interested in fostering a dialogue or conference on Anti Semitism based on the principles of class struggle and not on multiculturalism or post modernism then this would be a good place to start. Trotskyist/Leninist/Anarchist hacks uninterested in examining the failings of their bankrupt ideologies along with all religious obscurantists, pro capitalists, racists and right wingers please waste your time on some other venture. Your views are morbid and redundant and a clear impediment to reaching a classless society free from religion, racism and capitalism.

P.S Just out of interest. Not long ago in Auburn in Sydney, Iraqi Kurds and other Iraqi's were voting in the Iraqi election. Not withstanding the sham of democracy and elections, they have the right to vote if they wish. A group of Wahabbi Islamists forcefully told them not to vote as this would be seen by them as support for the U.S invasion. The Iraqi's many of who had been tortured in Saddams jails when Saddam was the best friend of America told the fundamentalists to fuck off and beat them up for daring to impose their views on them. The response? The fundamentalists came back with guns and shot four people.

Why didn't I read this in Green Left Weakly? Maybe it doesn't compute to the middle class student Leninists that 'oppressed people of colour' can and do act without their leadership and or consent. How do you argue with or debate people who believe that the Koran is the literal word of God and use force of arms to get their way?

By the way, I don't get off criticisng Islam. I believe all religious belief is an abstraction and a much worse opiate than heroin. Religion is man made. There is no god. Only people who wish to assume the role of gods.

Are you mad at Indy or mad at the Leninist lunatics over at GLW?

Indy has weeded out some Nazi propaganda here and they might weed out some more if they took me up on my long standing offer to weed out all the holocaust denying garbage. RED and BROWN. LEFT and RIGHT.

The ' Left ' is a dinosaur today because it was defined as electoralism or representationalism simply by virtue of settling for the moniker ' Left '. Marx compounded the errors of the French revolution by making almost every mistake he and his factory owning buddy could. Then parties like the ALP have been hammering nails in the coffin for over 100 years.

Lets face it the left is dead and bloody good riddance too because libertarian socialism lives, anarchism lives and when the Bushevic zionazi's and the Islamofash are finished we will win.

It is written

I recently complained loud and long about a GLW article that whitewashed nasty comments by David Hicks. The GLW sect of Leninisim are particularly virulent. Another Leninoid sectlet, for example, mentioned Hicks comments disapprovingly and yet another disagrees with the GLW fanatical support of ' maximum leader ' Fidel Castro.

There is obviously no monolithic ' Left ' just as there is no monolithic ' Right '.

For a rough guide on how to complain to a raving leftist I just sent this off...

To Alexander Cockburn.

RE Commies on the pad?

Dear Alex
For someone of your particular family background ( search on ' Cockburn' and 'Stalinism' ) to provide ( renumerated? ) space for the likes of Stan Goff, Saul Landau, Tariq Ali and John Pilger - all statist red fascist counter-revolutionaries seems...well, daring actually sounds like an understatement.
I beg you to re-consider your providing of space to these foul four but at least as Tariq and John can actually write maybe you could have them in under a large warning sign. Something like these two are raving red fascist counter-revolutionaries and massive red fascist holocaust deniers.

I'm sure you can think of something. yrs etc pr

Bakunin---warned us of the dangers of the red bureaucracy, that would prove to be the most vile and terrible lie that our century has created. The Leninist counter revolution has been well documented and can be searched on with...
" The Soviets and Workers control 1917-21"
Maximoff - ' The Guillotine at work "
Arshinov -' history of the Mahknovista. '
Search on Krondstadt and Orlando Figes at Amazon. It's all there how Lenin and Trotsky created the CHEKA in 1917 ( later to become the NKVD and then the KGB )
How they bought back the death penalty in Feb 1918. ( red sox win world series )
How the Leninists attacked anarchists in Moscow in April 1918 and murdered and tortured them.
This was almost a classic counter revolution by these murderous, sectarian, socialist hating fascists.
They used the big lie technique before Goebbel's in order to pass for ' socialists' when they are nothing so much as red fascists.
Most people in the world today know all this so there is no excuse for ignorance.

Cheswick used to say that a lot...till he drowned.

But if some concrete pool action is desired then I'm your man. There is a local ' Sharia law ' fanatic and fascist called John Abbott. I suggest that we start a pool to go to the nearest correct guess at the exact time of his permanent retirement from politics. ( my 2c )

Put your money where your big mouth is ' Shot by both sides ' you could even have 2 bob each way on his taking a long holiday.

ahh yes, I see the problem causing your confusion. Why didn't you tell us you were Jewish. It all makes sense now.

by Gideon Levy Friday February 18, 2005 at 09:54 AM

Good morning to the Israeli left. After an eternally long hibernation, we are starting to hear the sounds of its awakening. Only when the wind is once again blowing in its direction - and not because of anything it did - does the extra-parliamentary left dare to come out of the closet where it locked itself up more than four years ago.

Perhaps one should welcome these signs of awakening, but it is impossible not to hold it accountable for its lengthy, disgraceful and cowardly silence that abandoned the street to the right and the settlers. For more than four years Israel has been doing anything it wanted in the occupied areas, practically without any domestic criticism. It killed and demolished, uprooted and brutalized, and practically nobody protested. The world saw what was going on and shouted about it. But not us. When Israel desperately needed an alternative view, a clear sound of protest, practically nothing was heard, not a peep, except from a few small and brave organizations.

So it is difficult to forgive those who were silent, looked away and wrapped themselves in indifference, thus depicting Israel as monolithically supporting the government. The rustling noises that are beginning to be heard from the Zionist left are too late to clear it of its responsibility: With its silence until now it became a partner to all the government did during those damnable years. With the evaporation of the Labor Party and the fear and impotence that gripped the other bodies of the Zionist left, the only active element in society was the settlers. Thus the government managed to continue its brutal policies and the settlers nurtured their enterprise without disruption.

Now, under cover of a prime minister from the right, the left suddenly has remembered that it also has something to say, as a weak, pale echo of Ariel Sharon. The first to speak up, as usual, were the writers of the avant-garde, at the head of the camp. In a properly stylish advertisement a few days ago, Amos Oz, A.B. Yehoshua, David Grossman, Meir Shalev, Agi Mishol and a few other elite writers called out for "a change in consciousness and feeling."

What change? What consciousness? They also called for a renewal of the political negotiations, a very daring move after the Sharm el-Sheikh summit, and proposed the government recognize the suffering of the Palestinian people, in exchange, of course, for their recognition of our suffering.

A group of filmmakers and musicians joined in that call, but with one difference. At least in the advertisement from Daniel Barenboim, Pinhas Zuckerman and Zubin Mehta, there is at least an admission that the occupation is the direct source of the suffering of the Palestinian people and there is a clear call in their ad for an end to it; the authors weren't ready to go that far.

It's hard to believe: After nearly 38 years of occupation and four years of intifada, the leading writers of the peace camp are still dividing the responsibility for what is happening symmetrically between the two sides: "In our eyes, each of the sides bears some of the responsibility for the injustice, the suffering and the tragic situation in which the two nations are trapped," they wrote with self-righteousness.

That "we're all guilty" approach is no less outrageous than the silence that went on and on and on. How does one break the silence of the peace camp? Attribute the same measure of responsibility to the occupier and occupied, the powerful and the weak. Call both the soldiers at the checkpoints and their subjects, whose lives are beneath the soldiers' feet, "to change consciousness and feeling" even before the checkpoint is lifted; preach to the assassin and the assassinated to fall into each other's arms; draw parallels between a nation whose economic, cultural, social and emotional lives were completely destroyed and a nation in which the vast majority of people can go on with their lives as if nothing has happened; a people that has been imprisoned and humiliated, versus a free people in their own sovereign state.

Even without counting casualties - three times as many on the Palestinian side - there is no room for comparison, not of the extent of the suffering nor of the measure of responsibility. Can't the writers see the decisive weight of responsibility that lies on the occupier's side for the creation of the injustice, or did they not summon up the courage to admit as much, lest it anger the readers?

Immediately after the authors awoke, Peace Now came out of its faint. In another two weeks, it has been said, it will be returning to the street and squares. "The Coalition of the Majority," the umbrella organization of the left and the protest groups (oxymoronic titles if ever there were) is to convene a mass demonstration. Why didn't they do it beforehand, in the dark years of assassinations and demolitions when the need was far more critical? The explanations and excuses are ridiculous: the desire to maintain as broad a common denominator as possible and the fear of failure.

But the silence was the greatest failure of all. It is impossible not to ask now where everyone was for the 346 children that Israel killed. What prevented them from protesting when 112 wanted men were assassinated without trial and another 521 innocent passersby were killed at the same time? The demolition of half of Rafah, the uprooting of olive trees in the West Bank, the erection of the wall, the apartheid roads for Jews only, the imprisonment of an entire nation behind checkpoints for years - none of it awakened most of the artists or the "coalition of the majority." They were silent. They were afraid. They were complicit.

The alternative voices, the voices of the protest movements and authors, have a vital role in society that goes far beyond merely what they say. They are supposed to pave the way and protect the pluralistic and democratic character of the state. But after four and a half years in which society spoke in one uniform voice, the disgraceful silence on the left, the camp that only awakens under the patronage of the prime minister, shows it is a cowardly, frightened camp.

I am a mad Trot, alas, but not in your city.

Your contribution is in the disguise of trying to open an important debate, but you just slander everyone. My reaction, therefore, is quite cynical. You also accuse the Left of having views they do not have - indeed a caracicature which has little use. The only good thing really about your article is the writing.

If, after you have a big breath and settle down, perhaps you could leave the caricatures at home, start again, and then talk about serious issues.

Oh, by the way, one reason why the Left targets some countries and not others is not because it has an implicit approval of some countries and not others (eg, Israel v. Iran). It is because there is the possibility of applying more pressure on Israeli policies because of its close relationship with Australia and the USA. Also, of course, we can get more support from Muslim than from Jews because there are so many more of the former.

Cynical, perhaps, but that doesnt make us anti-semetic.

left . . right center up . . . down why does everybody pick onus! . . .

I agree with many of the points you are making, shot by both sides....though not entirely with your characterisation of "a left" that is anti semitic.
I certainly do think think Green Left weekly tends to turn a blind Eye to the oppressiveness of some islamic organisations, particularly where women's and gay and lesbian rights are concerned. As they do the vile anti semitism of the same organisations.
I think though that there are some Islamic democratic organisations and individuals , who work hard for economic justice and human rights.
They need support!
Also I think there are many more of us who share some of the views ...you have stated, than perhaps you realise.
Naomi Klein , has written eloquently in the past on "anti semitism on the left".
I for one would be interested in participating in a forum /workshop on the issues you have raised ...perhaps next weekend's anarchist conference in Melbourne, would be a good place to do that.
I think it is good that you have expressed your views here......people generally, not only people on "the left " ...need to look at this stuff!

The following fragment from a Q and A session at the Commonwealth Club San Francisco with Cornel West Afro American theologian and Teacher.
The book mentioned is a wonderful book called "Democracy Matters", which is worth getting hold of and reading.

Q: I listened to an interview today; your comments bordered on anti-Semitic in regards to the justification for a Jewish state of Israel. Comment, please.
A: I appreciate this question, because I think we have to hit this head on in terms of this very delicate issue of the Israeli/Palestinian question. The term anti-Semitism is thrown around all the time; sometimes it holds, other times it is used to trump serious conversation. I have a chapter in this book that calls for democratic identities in the Islamic world and democratic identities in the Jewish world and talks explicitly about, on the one hand the need for the security of hated and despised people like Jews – for 2,000 years as they jumped out of the burning buildings in Europe and landed on the backs of Arabs in the Middle East, and either had the choice of coexisting with them or subordinating them. Efforts to coexist sometimes were made, the result now is what? Security of Israel: precious, crucial, indispensable – but there can never be security of any people as long as you are occupying and subjugating a people. What I call for is: How do we become pro-justice in such a way that we understand the crucial and, in some ways, even distinctive concern for the security of such a hated and despised people – Jews in the world – and connect that security to hearing the cries of justice of Palestinians?
Talk seriously about what it means to create an international force between two particular nation-state entities, to ensure both security on the one hand and justice on the other, because the result now is neither security for Israel nor justice for the Palestinians. Not enough people want to engage in parrhesia about it; you can't even have a serious discussion in America, because as soon as you begin to criticize some of the vicious, repressive policies of Sharon, you are viewed as anti-Semitic. You say, No, I don't like repressive policies of anybody. If black folk were doing that to the white folk, I'd be critical of the black folk, because I have moral content of what I'm talking about, you see.
How does one have a discussion of that? It's going to take a good while; there is no doubt about that. It's an issue that one has, sooner or later, to wrestle with. With charges of anti-Semitism or not, one will persist. The irony is, I would argue that in the long run, those of us who are fundamentally opposed to all forms of bigotry – anti-Jewish hatred, anti-Arab hatred – are the true allies of fighting against anti-Semitism. To the degree to which anti-Semitism is prematurely invoked to trump conversation, it actually contributes to an anti-Semitism. This is especially true in relation to the Islamic gangster activity. Their claim is: America is tendentious when it comes to the Israeli/Palestinian situation. They don't really believe that a Palestinian baby has the same value as an Israeli baby, and that is true in U.S. foreign policy. That has been clearly articulated in the actions.
This is just a beginning of an answer to that. My own work with Tikkun and Rabbi Michael Lerner and Sister Susannah Heschel, the daughter of the great Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, is part and parcel of this pro-justice, which in the end is actually simultaneously pro-Israel and pro-Palestine, though it's very difficult to discern at the moment because the polarization is so intense and the suffering is so overwhelming on both sides.

For what its worth...

an excellent collection of articles on anti semitism from various left perspectives is at http://www.zmag.org/racewatch/znet-anti semitism.htm

Alex Cockburn has part authored a book on this problem and it's available through the website ' Counterpunch'. I just got a quick response to my letter to Alex complaining about the authoritarian leftists ( The mad Trots? ) he features at Counterpunch. Here it is along with my reply...

Dear Prof Rat, Well, whatever they may have been, time has taken a certain toll. Saul Landau is a fervent supporter of the Democratic Party (USA), most recently John Kerry. Tariq Ali and John Pilger doesn't seem in the their present rhetorical incarnations to espouse red statist fascism, tho of course TA still pays lip service to Trotsky. Stan Goff is probably the only serious revolutionary among the Frightful Four, but even so – I may be wrong, I know – the likelihood of his being able to impose a full blooded purge here in the US in the near future seems slim. Best Alex C

Then...
From Me
To Alex Cockburn

"PURGE!" But NO!

Dear Alex
A "Purge"!
Hell no!
That is the sort of thing associated with the likes of Mao Tse Tung circa 1929 and his torture of innocent cadres. What a terrible misunderstanding of my intent. I merely desired to assist you in a self defensive ' butt covering ' exercise should you be remotely interested. Thats all.
I am glad to hear of Saul's support for the Democratic party. It leads me to hope that one day he might speak out in favour of democracy not only in the States but also Cuba.
You know he has written several articles in support of the dictatorship in Cuba at the Counterpunch website don't you? The red fascist statist dictatorship in Cuba?
I know that it's not unheard of for Fabian socialists to act as apologists for totalitarian regimes and I would have thought that with your background you would be as sensitive to this as anyone.
And also that you would want to protect yourself from any accusations that you might be taking after Claud. Your not paying for Saul's panegyric's* to stalinism are you?

Tariq Ali, as you say, pays lip service to Trotsky - IN YOUR MAGAZINE! Whats up with that? Maybe you cant possibly vet every article that appears? Surely you could say so somewhere, some small disclaimer.
Tariq Ali specifically attacks the Zapatistas of Mexico for not seizing power - ie for not being real red statist fascists - in Counterpunch.

John Pilger also pays lip service to Trotsky at the website of a small sectarian fanatical bunch of Leninist's, The ' Green Left Weekly '. Here are Cuban dictatorship supporting Leninists** who whitewashed the most vile and virulent anti-semitism to raise up David Hicks*** being boosted by John Pilger. For over a year they ran an Ad for themselves by John at their website.

Is there a pattern emerging here? Blind support for the major tobacco and sugar exporter and harbourer of Camp Delta similar to an older Cockburns blind support for Stalinism?

Say it aint so.

And then you call that buffoon Stan Goff a ' serious revolutionary ' ! Have you seen this?

Then, antiwar activist/antiporn leftist Stan Goff chose to use the pages of a site promoting an upcoming antipornography feminist anthology called "Not For Sale: Feminists Resisting Prostitution and Pornography" to issue his own attack piece on Ms. Hartley and all other progressive sex- positive women who dare to challenge their hegemony. His article, in directly slandering and misinterpreting Hartley's remarks and restating old, tired antiporn myths cloaked under a pseudo- postmodern, "feminist", academic leftist patina, provides a perfect example of how some on the Left/progressive end of the spectrum simply can't get over their myopia when it comes to sexuality and respect for personal choice. (end extract )

Some serious revolutionary. I don't think he is even taken seriously by his own son who wanted to join the US Army last I heard.

Alex, Alex, Alex...to lose credibilty twice might be regarded as misfortune - to lose it three times is beginning to look like carelessness. I beg you to protect yourself - not purge yourself - protect your reputation with a small disclaimer somewhere. Not for me or even yourself ...for the children.

*Elaborate praise or laudation; an encomium.
** Unlike say, the ISO who see right through the counter revolutionary Cuban scam.
***Unlike say the WSWS who spoke out in support of Hicks as a political prisoner in Cuba but also mentioned his extreme anti-semitism.

If you want to get the Big-A Anarchists raving against Palestine and supporting the war against the Middle East it easy! Just say Green Left supports Palestine.

From this big A is to reject 'help' from all known fascists. And that surely includes all the Leninoid Loons at GLW who cant seem to stop spamming and trolling us here.

They seem a little insecure about their hallowed ' most popular political website ' gong don't they?

Maybe some of them are not so stupid as they look at demos and realize that its often the quality that's more important and further-more that power is often revealed not so much by striking often but often by striking true - as we do.

Jewish enclave bid to force out Arabs
Date: February 9 2005

By John Ward Anderson
Jerusalem

In the battleground of East Jerusalem, the Israeli Government is accused of backing moves for a Jewish cordon around the city.

The Israeli Government and private Jewish groups are working to build a human cordon around Jerusalem's Old City and its disputed holy sites, moving Jewish residents into Arab neighbourhoods to consolidate their grip on strategic locations.

According to a Washington Post investigation, the goal is to establish Jewish enclaves in and around Arab-dominated East Jerusalem and form a ring around the city.

The city has been a key battleground in the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict because of its Jewish and Muslim holy sites.

The Israeli Government has sometimes violated its own laws and regulations to advance the encircling effort, the Post investigation found.

Critics of the plan say the Government is subsidising and protecting Jewish groups that are deliberately scuttling peace efforts by establishing enclaves in overwhelmingly Palestinian neighbourhoods.

As part of the effort, the Israeli Government began expanding the West Bank's largest settlement, Maleh Adumim, without building permits and in violation of the settlement's development plan. The work stopped in September after Washington Post inquiries.

Israeli security forces also seized a Palestinian-owned hotel on the border of eastern Jerusalem after expelling its owners and declaring them absentee. Nearby, a private Jewish organisation has bought and occupied two illegal houses that the Israeli Government is paying private security guards to protect.

"There's a dovetailing of Government actions and settlement activity," said Daniel Seidemann, an Israeli lawyer who has fought numerous court battles against Jewish takeovers of Arab-owned houses and land.

He said the Government had adapted its pro-settlement policies "to service messianic groups" that were moving into Arab neighbourhoods.

A State Attorney's Office report, which has not yet been released, concluded that almost every major ministry in the Israeli Government assisted in the construction, expansion and maintenance of illegal settlement outposts, according to the Israeli daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

The report found that "every echelon, from minister to low-level clerks, ignored settlers' violations of the law . . . bypassing the zoning laws and master plans", and improperly funnelling state money to settlement expansions, even after Israel's Attorney-General ordered them not to, the newspaper says.

In meetings with senior Israeli officials on Sunday on her first trip to the region as Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice reportedly warned Israel not to take unilateral steps that could influence the city's status.

Daniel Luria, a spokesman for Ateret Cohanim, one of the most prominent private groups moving Jews into Arab neighbourhoods, said his organisation was returning Jews to property their ancestors abandoned during Arab riots in the 1920s and '30s.

He said the group's goal was not to block Palestinian access to Jerusalem's Old City or prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

But Raanan Gissin, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the Government was not co-ordinating its moves with any private groups and was not involved in any illegal activity.

===============================

There is no confusion about "complex and delicate situations" other than in the mind of the articles author. That is only because he/she is conflicted between a glimmer of humanity and membership in a psychotic racist cult. (c'mon author, admit you're a Jew, it oozes from your every red herring)

The faux state of Israel is at the heart of the war on Islam and all ancilliary operations in the Middle East.

You know I'm right, quit hand wringing and get on with it.

Leftists have been killing anarchists since the bloody cycle of the first Jacobin era. leftists are counter revolutionary liars torturers and mass murderers. Leninists in particular began killing anarchists in early 1918 and have never really stopped since around the world.

So why should we care if Leftists are being knocked off by anyone?

I don't care if they're getting fatal proctological examinations on flying saucers quite frankly.

As long as they keep dying off - slow or fast. Just keep dying leftists, KEEP DYING. Muslims you wanna kill Leninists?

FEEL FREE BABY. BILL ME FOR A BULLET.

I don't care about the reds under your bed and how you feel about them pr. The fact is that this article is BULLSHIT. Whiny, self-absorbed bullshit from some fuckwit who thinks that the left (whoever that may be) occasionally criticising Zionism for being a racist and facist ideology (which it is) is somehow comparable to people having their homes bulldozed and their kids shot. You don't have to like Leninists but you should be able to recognise a Zionist apologist when you see one.
Oh and HWRU...my guess is that they are a Catholic, not a jew.

This article for all its manifest faults deserved a response because it followed directly on from at least two Nazi posts that have since been removed. Only the lowest slimiest most dishonest troll that ever crawled out from under a rock would lie by ommission like that and expect to get away with it.

Probably the same troll that doesn't really mind brown fascist holocaust deniers spamming us here under pseudonyms because it gives her and her red fascist holocaust denying troll buddies equal opportunity to spam us here like the cowardly fascist filth that they are.

My solution is simple - treat all these fash the same. Let them fork their own Red and Brown IMC's if they want. Let them rot in hell but for fucks sake people - get them off the frikken wire!

Bullshit pr. I have both tried to explain patiently to some of those "brown fascists" you refer to why their attacks on Jews don't help the Palestinians at all and when that has failed I have continually put up links from their posts to anti-Zionist jewish sites (which are WAY better and more interesting than 90% of what you read on this one btw). I have also often asked for stuff which slanders Jews or Arabs openly (ie the stuff about "child molestors" and "human sacrifices") to be removed from SIM because it does nothing to aid discussion at all.

But what's interesting is that you attack me and communists and others but you have NO PROBLEM with some of the shit spewed by people like Simon or Nigel. I don't think either of them are racist but their posts are actually way more borderline than mine because they equate all Jews with Zionism and in Nigels case continually slanders the Arab resistance (yeah they have problems but I think that with the USA, Israel, our OWN government and half the planet already attacking them the left really does not need to join in).

Also, while I hate the Big-A Anarchist groups and individuals mentality in Australia I was very impressed with some of the Israeli anarchists...

At least half the "brown fascist" posts here are false flag operations by Spinfx.

The Government has rejected a draft "statement of regret" that Israel wants to tender in place of an outright apology over the passport affair.

Prime Minister Helen Clark yesterday confirmed that the Israeli Government had made an approach at "diplomatic levels" through New Zealand's ambassador to Turkey, Jan Henderson, about her demand for an official apology over an attempt by suspected Mossad agents Uriel Kelman and Eli Cara to obtain a false New Zealand passport.

"That is being dealt with at a diplomatic level at the moment," Helen Clark said at a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

A senior Government source later told the Herald that the so-called "apology" referred to in initial news reports was nothing more than a "statement of regret".

This stopped far short of the Prime Minister's requirements for a "triple-A" apology before diplomatic relations will be restored, in which Israel would admit its culpability for Cara and Kelman's actions.

The Government wants:

* Israel to account for what the agents wanted to do with the New Zealand passports. This is the request Israel will have the most trouble with.

* An assurance that Israeli agents will not try the same thing again.

* An apology for breaching New Zealand's sovereignty.

There is also a suggestion that Helen Clark is prepared to continue to play hardball and wants to see the outcome of an Internal Affairs investigation into whether there have been previous instances of suspected passport fraud by Israel before accepting any final "apology".

Mr Howard yesterday continued to play down the reasons his Government ordered an Israeli diplomat back to Jerusalem late last year.

The Government is fighting off allegations that the diplomat set a "honey trap" for the daughter of Attorney-General Philip Ruddock, the Cabinet minister in charge of Australia's security intelligence.

Playboy diplomat Amir Laty visited Cara and Kelman while they were in jail in New Zealand and attended the trial of the two alleged Mossad agents.

There has also been conjecture that Mr Laty ran an Israeli passport fraud ring from the Canberra embassy, gaining false identities on both sides of the Tasman for infiltration purposes. But Mr Howard indicated that the two affairs were not linked.

"Miss Clark can speak for New Zealand - the situations are separate," said Mr Howard.

"As far as Australia is concerned a person was asked to leave - he left.

"The relations between Australia and Israel are very close and very friendly. They have not been affected by this incident and we continue to be a good friend and a good supporter of Israel."

Asked whether Australia should seek an apology from Israel over Mr Laty's activities, Mr Howard replied: "That assumes a lot of things that I neither confirm nor deny."

Israel Foreign Affairs had hoped to resolve the diplomatic standoff with New Zealand by next month so Israeli President Mosche Katsav, who will visit Australia then, could come here as well.

But the source indicated that diplomatic negotiations on the text of a suitable apology could take months to resolve as diplomats "tick-tacked" on the final wording. Helen Clark was not available to comment further last night.

Meanwhile, Mr Ruddock has rejected suggestions that Mr Laty targeted his daughter. The minister said there was no evidence to suggest that Mr Laty had deliberately targeted his family.

Mr Laty was a friend of Caitlin Ruddock, 26, and before his expulsion he had been invited to have Christmas lunch at the Ruddock home.

No reason has been given publicly for Mr Laty's forced return to Jerusalem but the diplomat has told Israeli media he believes it was linked to his friendship with Ms Ruddock.

I did have something to say to say to ' Simon ' once but lets get rid of all the obfuscatory bs and cut to the chase.

Fascism should simply be unacceptable here. This is not censorship because the net is a practically infinite and they can have their say elsewhere.

Now if this is agreed lets define fascism. I say a rough definition would be based on what various fascists have done , not anything they've said. ( Lenin can sound like an anarchist in some of his Machievelllien masks and Hitler an animal libber and vegan) The big three holocausts are by Mao, Stalin ( following the path and praxis laid down by Trotsky and Lenin ) and, of course the virulent jew hater, adolph Shitler. So anything sourced by individuals or groups associated with either of these big three needs to be hidden.( I volunteer to help do this.)

The hidden material can be regularly reviewed and appeals allowed if we have the resources. There will always be the odd borderline article.

A clearer and more consistent approach might see less jew hating material here and also less Leninoid promotion and dispicable crapitalist shilling for their crappy newspapers and website.

Lets treat all these fascisms equally and lets get all these creepy turds OFF OUR WIRE.

For the sake of the children.

I don't know ' Nigel ' from a bar of soap but I did say something once about ' Simon '.

Now can we cut to the chase?

Fascism defined as articles from followers of the brown and red fascist traditions that mass murdered millions last century should not be allowed here imho.

This is not censorship - the articles could be simply hidden if they are in doubt and then appealed/ reviewed/ even reposted for discussion if need be. I renew my offer to assist in this process provided it is fair and balanced.

The net is for all practical purposes infinite and any shitlerite or leinioid hemmoroid can start their own fascist boards on it. However Indymedia is specifically designed not to encourage fascism in any way shape or form.

So lets have clear lines of delineation here where red and brown fascists know they are not welcome and wont stay up long. Lets improve and extend a respected brand of media people can trust.

Lets cut the crap.

Zionism is fascism.

But obviously you think the destruction of Palestine and the blatant racist hatred of Abarbs (especially Muslems but also Christian and even Jewish Arabs) promoted by the Zionists is fine.

And by the way... Unlike YOU pr I have never stated that half the population of Israel should be killed.

Dear god - stalked by a troll - how low can you go?

If you don't understand the word ' triage ' oh Troll, then how about the fate of the humble office cleaner. Forced to do one area then another, its a never ending story where one problem is never solved - simply replaced by another.

The problem de jour is fascists posting , mainly Brown, but with a lot of RED. ( probably encouraged by the appearence of the brown, at least for a while ) This is what, if we were Drs in ER we would see too on the basis of need and severity. As there are no serial zionist fascist threats here, ( apart from the ones in the comments peanut gallery like the sayanims, ' Nazihunter' and ' Spinifex'. ) I say we lay down the law as I've outlined and am happy to go on outlining as long as you keep trying to get the last stupid word in, and we bar all the fash, RED and brown and yes , zionazis actually come in under the ' brown' part of that law.

HELLO!

Is that so hard to understand?

BTW if they ( the zionazi's ) are fash as we agree then why not approve methods to thin them out a bit?

The worst half I mean. Scared of getting your slimy troll marsh pads dirty?

Triage? Imperialism (including its ideologies of Zionism, Christian fundamentalism and anti-Arab racism) is THE biggest threat to the world at the moment... Their ecconomy and political system is collapsing fast and they are going to take ALL of us down with them if they can. Even the CIA admits it now.

Having said that, I don't have a problem with zionists posting so long as they don't cyberstalk people, do false flag posts or put out hate speech and abuse. For example Nazi'boy continually does all of the above and should be banned or the offending posts removed (which they actually are here - unfortunately they are not on SIM) - whereas I have not seen ANY racist or false flag posts by communists here.

"no serial zionist fascist threats here"

Spinn is a serial zionist fascist (or maybe just a generic serial fascist) if ever I saw one and he alone posts 100 times more spam to this site than anybody else, let alone lenninists who rarely post to this site at all. Also, the fact is that the editors of this site are Zionist apologists/sympathisers.

When ever he opts to use a different pseudonym he is identified as spinny.

You do it troll. Care to explain yourself?

Explain what?
.....................

" Imperialism (including its ideologies of Zionism, Christian fundamentalism and anti-Arab racism)"

You left out the greatest Imerialist threat of all...ISLAM

You don't even know what "Imperialism" is, do you?

Israeli consul in Tokyo says 30 Israelis detained in Japan, promise of earning quick buck is bogus
By Iris Jorlet

TOKYO - Israeli involvement in criminal activity in East Asian countries is causing serious damage to the country’s image and could also threaten national security, Israeli consul in Tokyo Moshe Harel told Ynet.

Some 30 Israelis are currently being held in Japanese prisons for various offenses, and a growing number of Israelis are involved in drug trafficking and selling forged passports in the country. Just two months ago two Iranians were caught with fake Israeli passports.

According to Harel, this growing trend has increased Japanese authorities’ fear of Israeli-initiated crime in the country, which in turn is making it harder for Israelis to enter Japan.

As a result, every Israeli who arrives in Japan is regarded as a suspect and goes through a detailed interrogation.

The passport trade phenomenon is not new to the Far East. This is mainly connected to the fact that many Israelis who remain in the country after their tourist visa expires report that their passport has been lost, whereby they receive a temporary document which they use to obtain an extended tourist visa.

Innocent Israelis get in trouble

Eight Israelis are currently being held or awaiting trial for drug-trafficking offenses, while some 20 others are being detained for offenses related to the illegal selling of paintings, gifts, or clothes out of street-market stalls - offenses that could bring a prison sentence of up to 4 years.

Harel said some stall owners also lure innocent Israelis to perform illicit errands for them.

“Stall owners receive their goods by mail from Israel, Amsterdam , or India," he said. "Occasionally, those who pick up the packages Advertisement

are not aware of their content. Japanese customs personnel sometimes manage to detect packages containing illegal goods beforehand, and then arrest those who come to pick them up.”

Harel said the profit margin for drug trafficking in Japan is considerable, as 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of Marijuana, which costs a few hundred shekels in Israel, can be sold for thousands of dollars in Tokyo.

“Apart from issuing warnings, we at the embassy cannot do anything until an Israeli is arrested,” he said. “Then we try to assist, but in any case we cannot interfere in the legal process.”

Harel said many young Israelis are tempted to travel to Japan by deceitful advertisements in Israeli newspapers that promise an opportunity to earn a quick buck.

“In practice, these innocent people (who come to Japan) work 12 hours a day, 30 days a month, and earn only USD 1,000 monthly after deducting the high living expenses in Japan,” he said. “After they get in trouble, their families pay thousands of dollars to come to Japan and hire a local attorney.”

Japan fears growing Israeli crime

- ynet

Dear stupid Jew baiter, if you read the item, it is clear that it is the Israeli consul expressing concern about this issue, not the Japanese.

"....Israeli involvement in criminal activity in East Asian countries is causing serious damage to the country’s image and could also threaten national security, Israeli consul in Tokyo Moshe Harel told Ynet...."

The Japanese have their own criminal class to worry about.

So, go get an education you stupid racist filth.

"....One glaring example of the Left's descent into populism and issue based politics is it's embrace of the Palestinian Question under the rubric of anti imperialism and anti colonialism...."

They learned this from the Nazis who used the same rhetoric during the German occupation of North Africa in an attempt to detach local populations from French and English colonial influence.

Basically, the anti-Semitism of the Nazis was a "selling point" they could position alongside the local anti-Semitic populations who were receptive to the message a priori.

When the USSR abandoned its support for Israel in the 1950s, seeing more fertile opprtunities amongst emerging post-colonial Arab states, it picked up the same tactic and started using it to recruit the Nasserites and other Arab Nationalist movements in the region.

This was for opportunuistic Cold War geo-political reasons.

Naturally, the Western "intellectual" left, with its strong traditions on intellectual and political independence, responded to this Soviet initiative by immediately snapping into robot-like knee-jerk lock-step and began spouting in unison the "anti-Zionist" slogans spoon fed them by their KGB handlers.

That's more or less where they all were when the USSR went belly up, and with nobody left to do their thinking for them, they in turn have been snaffled as "useful idiots" up by Aryan Nation, Hizbollah and Hamas.

"As a result, every Israeli who arrives in Japan is regarded as a suspect and goes through a detailed interrogation."

Remember Ze'ev Rosenstein, the Jewish Drug-Ringleader Caught and jailed over $17m ecstasy haul?

in fact
all nazis are anti-zionists
face it

Sol Salbe is a Nazi....

The Holocaust — we must never forget

My late father, a Holocaust survivor, used to say that one of the things that worried him was what would happen once his generation died out. With no living evidence, would the Holocaust be simply forgotten? Would it be used as a political argument for causes he didn’t support?

Sure, the January 25 special UN session to commemorate the anniversary and numerous media features have temporarily raised consciousness. But on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, the memory of the worst crime of the 20th century is beginning to fade. It is chilling to read of the number of young people who have never heard of Auschwitz.

Those who have heard of it think of it as a Jewish issue. But as UN general-secretary Kofi Annan reminded the world at the assembly: “Other groups slaughtered by Nazi Germany included the Roma people, Slavs, Soviet prisoners of war, the handicapped, Jehovah’s Witnesses and homosexuals.” It would have been a crime against humanity if only one of these groups had been targeted. In the case of the Jewish people, Annan said, “An entire civilisation, which had contributed far beyond its numbers to the cultural and intellectual riches of Europe and the world, was uprooted, destroyed, laid waste”.

Surprisingly, one of the best accounts of that destruction came from an unexpected source. The British Guardian’s Lawrence Rees tracked down Oskar Groning, a former SS officer at Auschwitz, who was incensed at the way some fellow Germans thought it “inconceivable” for so many bodies to have been burned.

“But Groning knew very well it had happened — for he was posted to Auschwitz in September 1942, as a 22-year-old member of the SS. Almost immediately he witnessed the arrival of Jews at the camp. ‘I was standing at the ramp’, he says. He watched while SS doctors first separated men from women and children, and then selected who was fit to work and who would be gassed immediately. ‘Sick people were lifted on to lorries’. Groning estimates that 80-90% of those on the first transport he witnessed were selected to be murdered at once.

“Later, he witnessed the burning of bodies: ‘This comrade said, “Come with me, I'll show you.” I was so shocked that I stood at a distance. The fire was flickering up and the kapo [a prisoner in charge of work details] there told me afterwards details of the burning. And it was terribly disgusting — horrendous.’”

Lessons

Inscribing the Holocaust on humanity’s collective memory is one thing. Learning the lesson is another. Yes, everyone repeats the mantra from Kofi Annan down: Referring to the recent cases of genocide in Cambodia, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, he said: “On occasions such as this, rhetoric comes easily. We rightly say ‘never again.’ But action is much harder. Since the Holocaust the world has, to its shame, failed more than once to prevent or halt genocide.”

Too right! Everyone says “never again”. But their actions speak louder than words. The whole UN session was a good case in point. Just look at the choice of speakers. Literally millions of US Jews have lost relatives in the Holocaust. Selecting Paul Wolfowitz, a key architect of the war on Iraq which has killed around 100,000 Iraqi civilians, is an insult to the memory of my relatives.

As a life-long supporter of Palestinian human rights, I was pleased to read about the presence of the Palestinian observer during the session. I think it was wrong for British Muslims to boycott the equivalent event. The Holocaust stands on its own and should not be turned into a political football. But the Israeli state has done precisely that.

Using the Holocaust to justify its ongoing treatment of the Palestinians is again an insult to the victims. Palestinian activist Mazin Qumsiyeh put it neatly when he said: “Conflating Jewish historical suffering with the interests of the Israeli government…is analogous to conflating Native American suffering with US government interests and capitalism.”

One could go on: where were the representatives of the Red Army which actually liberated Auschwitz? Where were the spokespeople of the Roma people or the gays?

But we must get back to the real lesson. The Holocaust would never have happened if it were not for the participation and acquiescence of ordinary people. So like the Israeli refuseniks and anti-war activists everywhere, we must stand up and oppose injustice now. There is no point in waiting to see if it develops into mega-genocide, for then it will be far too late.

“`I would like you to believe me’ says Oskar Groning, the bank clerk who became an SS guard. ‘I saw the gas chambers. I saw the crematoria. I saw the open fires. I was on the ramp when the selections took place. I would like you to believe that these atrocities happened, because I was there.”

This "peace" demonstration is supported by Green Left Weekly?

As in;

"We support the Palestinian people's struggle for justice, self-determination, a sovereign independent state with Jerusalem as its capital and the implementation of the right of return in accordance with UN resolution 194."

Yup, here it is right here;

"While UN resolutions on Iraq are enforced to the letter by the US, resolutions on other Middle East problems are ignored. With US support, Israel thumbs its nose at the 1948 Resolution 194, calling on Israel to respect Palestinians' right to return to their land, or 1967 UN resolutions 242 and 338, calling upon Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and 1992 UN resolution 799, demanding that Israel return the 415 ...."

24 arrested, accounts frozen in massive money-laundering probe at Hapoalim

Twenty-four employees, past and present, of Bank Hapoalim's Hayarkon Street branch in Tel Aviv were arrested yesterday in what officials called the biggest money-laundering case in the history of the state, thought to involve hundreds of millions of dollars in the past year.

The Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court yesterday remanded for five days the branch's former manager, Motti Cohen, on suspicion of involvement in massive illegal money-laundering schemes, which included leading "oligarchs" from Russia who also had business interests in Israel.

The head of customer relations in the branch, Yaakov Sverdelik, and the head of the Commonwealth of Independent States desk, Alik Leder, were also remanded for five days.

The court also remanded, for three days each, Dalia Kaiserman, head of the branch's French desk, and David Abutbul, who was responsible for French customers in the bank.

Investigators from the International Crimes Unit said that hundreds of millions of dollars were illegally laundered through the bank over the past year. Police sources said they have evidence that senior officials in the bank knew about the laundering and chose not to report it.

Police are now investigating whether senior executives at the national level of the bank were aware of the money-laundering.

Yesterday, police froze 180 accounts held by 18 customers at the branch, accounts that police suspect were used as conduits for the flow of money from outside the country into those accounts and then, via "back-to-back" standing orders, sending the money out of the country. At least 45 customers will be summoned in coming days by the police to answer questions about signs of laundering in their accounts. But all the customers of the bank - about 200 businesspeople - will be questioned, as police try to determine just how extensive the laundering was in the branch.

Among those likely to be questioned are Maariv owner Vladimir Gusinski, whose Tel Aviv offices were raided yesterday, and Israeli ambassador to London Zvi Hefetz, who was Gusinski's point man in Israel.

The case was only made possible by the promulgation of an anti-money laundering law that went into effect two years ago. Many of the bank's employees, including the manager and other senior officials, took part in the laundering on behalf of their customers, police said. The branch, which only handles foreign customers, had effectively become a money-laundering station for hundreds of businesses worldwide, said police sources.

Despite the sensitivity of the investigation and the extent of the suspected crimes, police emphasized that so far their probe is focused entirely on the branch and does not extend to elsewhere in Bank Hapoalim. Nonetheless, senior executives of the bank are expected to be asked about their knowledge of the branch's activities, especially if, as police now suspect, branch employees won bonuses for their work facilitating the laundering and not reporting it to the authorities.

Police described several of the laundering methods they say were used at the bank. In some cases, large sums of money would flow into an account and immediately flow out, in smaller amounts, to shell companies around the world, in an effort to hide the original source of the funds.

A second way was to break up large sums of money into smaller amounts deposited in separate accounts in the bank, thus enabling businessmen to avoid the rule requiring the bank to report cash transfers of more than NIS 1 million if it involves money from overseas or NIS 50,000 if it is money from inside Israel. A third method was for the businessman to deposit a large sum, take a loan of the same amount from the bank and then send the borrowed money overseas, with the loan covered by the sum that remained in the account.

The police worked closely with the Bank of Israel's Supervisor of Banks Yoav Lehman in preparing their case, but Hapoalim's senior management was left in the dark, with the arrests yesterday morning sending shock waves through the bank. The police informed the bank as it moved from a secret, undercover operation to the open one, made public through the media. Bank executives promised full cooperation with the investigation and with the central bank. Hapoalim shares were down by 2.6 percent for the day.

"What country is Iraq currently occupying?"

Kurdistan.

Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, wants Hebrew University to take action in response to statements made by the chair of the institution's German Studies department, Prof. Moshe Zimmerman, who likened Israel Defense Forces soldiers and other Israeli authorities to Nazis.

In a letter sent to Hebrew University President Prof. Menachem Megidor, Foxman writes that while every professor has the right to express his or her opinion, the university administration is obliged to consider taking action when certain opinions cross the line and are damaging to the institution and the Jewish people.

Foxman decided to intervene in the matter after it was repeatedly brought to his attention by another university lecturer, Dr. Yaacov Bergman of the School of Business Administration. Bergman urged Foxman to adopt the same approach he took in the case of Colombia University, when he demanded that the Ivy League school take action against lecturers there who had likened the IDF and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to Nazis.

Foxman did not ask for specific steps to be taken against Zimmerman, but he urged the university administration to take a stand on the matter

Wake up stupid, the US is the one currently occupying Kurdish territory in Iraq.

Also, if Kurdish sovereignty is going to be recognised then shouldn't Palestinian and Aboriginal sovereignty be recognised?

"The Treaty of Sevres (signed August 10, 1921) anticipated an independent Kurdish state to cover large portions of the former Ottoman Kurdistan. Unimpressed by the Kurds' many bloody uprisings for independence, France and Britain divided up Ottoman Kurdistan between Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The Treaty of Lausanne (signed June 24, 1923) formalized this division. Kurds of Persia/Iran, meanwhile, were kept where they were by Teheran.

Since 1970s, the Iraqi Kurds have enjoyed an official autonomous status in a portion of that state's Kurdistan. By the end of 1991, they had become all but independent from Iraq. By 1995, however, the Kurdish government in Arbil was at the verge of political suicide due to the outbreak of factional fighting between various Kurdish warlords."

<< Oppose anti-Zionism

... Anti-Zionism only opposes Jewish nationalism. Palestinian or Arab nationalism is embraced. However, all forms of nationalism have the same reactionary function. They all produce myths to emphasise the unity of "nations" and to hide the oppression of workers, women and people who do not fit into the nationalist scheme. Elites use nationalism to harness the population for their fight against other elites. In this sense, Jewish nationalism is not fundamentally different from Arab or Dutch nationalism. It is important to combat nationalism at home, and not to do the elites a favour by fighting nationalism in other countries. In addition to this, it is anti-Semitic to, from a European perspective, declare Jewish nationalism to be the main problem. <<

sol'salba is not a 'jew' either'

Stop using ' Holocaust victims' to justify your hatred of Jews.
btw, this thread is not about holocaust, it was YOUrself who exploite and use holocaust-theme on this thread.
This propaganda is too old and doesnt work anymore.

"antizionists are professional liars"

Not all of them, but many are.

The same goes for many Zionists.

That's why they tango together so well and keep the Globalist sponsored fear/hate machine running.

It has to be said that the same can be said for every other dogma on the planet, though the situations created by those other dogmas aren't necessarily transmitted onto our TV screens nearly every night.....

Using the Holocaust to justify its ongoing treatment of the Jews is again an insult to the victims.

Would saying that Nazis had NO right of murderous theft of Polish, etc lands make one "anti-German??? So why would saying that ZIonists have NO birthright of murderous theft of Palestinian lands be anti-semetic???

Nationalisms are not all comparable. While the nationalism of Zionists includes some poorly defined "birthright" of murderous theft of the Palestinian's homeland, the Palestinian's nationalism includes the basic human right NOT to be destroyed by murderous thieving invadors who have never stopped stealing Palestinian lands and have never hesitated to murder the Palestinians who resist the ZIonist's alleged "birthright" of murderous theft and Palestinians who are just in the wrong place, as defined by the ZIonist crusaders.

Zionists would have you believe that a right to exist and a right to self determination equates to a right to just move into the Palestinian's homeland, take over, steal what they can, MURDER anyone who resists the ZIonist's never ending offenses (or are just in the wrong place), route bereaving widows and orphans into the wilderness, and 20 years later, invade the wildreness as well, to start up with the ethnic clansing afresh. Well, noone challlenged the Nazi's right to exist before nazis chose to be murderous thieves of thier enighbor's homelands. But many challenged the Nazi's when the Nazis included being murderous thieves of thier neighbor's homelands. Even to the point of giving thier very lives to librate victims of foreign agressors.

The Guardian, London Malaysia leader Mahatir savages Bush and "Liar" Blair -- brands US a rogue nation terrorising innocents -- repeats that Jews rule the world by proxy

THEY don't blow themselves up for no reason, they're angry, they're frustrated. And why are they angry? Look at the Palestinian situation. If you don't settle that, there will be no end to the war on terror. For how long are you going to go on examining people's shoes?

Ten tips against anti-Semitism
http://www.gebladerte.nl/30037v01.htm

Activists wishing to criticise the Israeli state must be careful not to descend into anti-Semitic reasoning. Here are 10 tips to avoid anti-Semitism in discussions, articles, leaflets and demonstrations.

1. Always also criticise moslim fundamentalists and never justify the suicide bombers.

Hamas, Jihad and Hezbollah are not liberation organisations, but religious fascists. Historically, anti-Semitism is a central element of the Islam, just as it is of Christianity. Moslim fundamentalists call for all Jews to be killed, and are thus extremely anti-Semitic. Anyone who refuses to categorically distance themselves from these fascists and their opportunist methods, whether for anti-imperialist or other reasons, legitimises anti-Semitism. Anyone who ignores the attacks on random Israeli citizens, considers them in some way understandable or justified, is underwriting the anti-Semitic logic behind them, namely that Israeli Jews are always guilty - regardless of whether they agree with their government - just because they are Jewish.

2. Oppose anti-Zionism

Anti-Zionists wrongly claim that Jewish nationalism, Zionism, is per definition on the extreme Right. In reality, Zionism has many different currents, some of which are progressive. Anti-Zionism only opposes Jewish nationalism. Palestinian or Arab nationalism is embraced. However, all forms of nationalism have the same reactionary function. They all produce myths to emphasise the unity of "nations" and to hide the oppression of workers, women and people who do not fit into the nationalist scheme. Elites use nationalism to harness the population for their fight against other elites. In this sense, Jewish nationalism is not fundamentally different from Arab or Dutch nationalism. It is important to combat nationalism at home, and not to do the elites a favour by fighting nationalism in other countries. In addition to this, it is anti-Semitic to, from a European perspective, declare Jewish nationalism to be the main problem. The solution lies in the principle of anti-nationalism and in the support for joint Israeli-Palestinian initiatives for resistance from below.

3. Do not use the term genocide and do not call Israel the biggest abuser of human rights

Israel is one of the many countries which gravely abuses human rights. Many of the national "liberation movements", such as the PLO also abuse human rights, and will continue to do so once they have their own state. Various states in the Middle East, including Syria, Iran and Iraq, also abuse human rights on a massive scale. The much more limited scope of the Israeli abuses of human rights do not justify the title of the biggest abuser of human rights. One sided criticism of Israel smacks of anti-Semitism. Furthermore, the term genocide is exaggerated with regard to Israeli violence. Jenin can not be compared to Rwanda or Yugoslavia. What is more, Israel does not seek the systematic eradication of the other side; unlike the muslim fundamentalist organisations. If for example Hamas had its way, all Jews would be driven into the sea or gassed. Incidentally, more criticism in the direction of human rights abuses on the part of the Dutch government would not go amiss either.

4. Never compare Israel to Nazi Germany

Mercifully, the Shoah is a unique event in human history. In Nazi Germany 6 million Jews were systematically slaughtered. Comparisons between this and other mass murders do no justice to the unimaginable and horrific dimensions of this crime against the Jews. European claims that the Shoah was just like the current Israeli policies of occupation in effect rehabilitate the Nazi's. This could create a space in the future for the re-emergence of the extreme right. And the suggestion that the Israeli's are no better than Hitler can also provide a retrospective justification for the Shoah. "Hitler forgot one: Sharon", was one of the slogans chanted at a pro-Palestine demo in Amsterdam in April 2002.

5. Do not hold "the Jews" accountable for the actions of the Israeli state

It is nonsense to hold "the Jews", "the Palestinians" or 'the Dutch" collectively responsible for anything. There are always huge contradictions inside any "nation". Many Jews in Israel and in other parts of the world deplore the Israeli state violence. Generally, they have little influence over it. Those who claim that people in Israel do not protest enough against the state violence should realise that the Israeli Left, like the Left in other parts of the world, is in a crisis. It is anti-Semitic to demand specifically of the Jews that they adhere to higher political and moral standards. Those who nevertheless hold all Jews responsible for the Israeli state violence, open the way for anti-Semites to attack random Jews and Jewish targets.

6. Do not use anti-Semitic stereotypes

Throughout history, Jews have been portrayed as baby killers and rapists, as demons who poison water supplies, as greedy bankers and speculators and as spineless intellectuals. When the Palestinian solidarity movement employs such stereotypes against Israel, the mobilising effect will be enormous, because of the fact that anti-Semitism everywhere has deep roots. But if a movement does this, it no longer has a place in the Left.

7. Condemn ideas of a pro-Israeli conspiracy

Oft heard suggestion of a pro-Israeli conspiracy in politics, culture, the economy and the media are classic elements of anti-Semitism. Regardless of whether they concern the Dutch or the global context, such allegations lie in the tradition of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", a fraudulent text dating from 1900, claiming that Jews were conspiring to gain world domination. In cartoons the conspiracy was depicted as a giant octopus, holding the world in its deadly tentacles. Today there is much talk of the so called "mighty Jewish lobby" which is alleged to control the media and keep criticism of Israel off the agenda.

8. Do not call Israel an unnatural state

Since nationalism gained ground in Europe and humanity was suddenly divided into "nations", "the Jews" have been regarded as the opposite of a "nation". As such, anti-Semitism is a fixed part of nationalism. In nationalist mythology, "the Jews" represent the evil nemesis of all the good characteristics of the "own nation". Whilst the "own people" were supposedly rooted in the soil of an "own land", the Jews would roam the earth forever and never belong anywhere. According to this logic, a Jewish state would be "unnatural" by definition. For this reason, it is anti-Semitic to pretend that the Palestinians per definition have a real link to their land, whilst the Israeli's per definition do not. The Israeli state is just as "natural" or "unnatural" as any other state.

9. Do not challenge the right of existence of Israel

It is logical for the radical Left to challenge the existence of states and it is equally logical to criticise ones own state. However, Europeans who wish to abolish the state Israel first are caught up in anti-Semitic reasoning. After all, Israel is the state where the European Jews who survived the Shoah sought a safe haven. Now that anti-Semitism internationally is on the increase, many Jews consider Israel the only place on earth where they can flee to in the last resort. By challenging the very right of existence of the state Israel, the feelings of insecurity amongst Jews will only increase. Instead, the Left in Europe should counter anti-Semitism in this continent, so that Jews can feel safe here at home.

10. Never blame Israel for anti Semitism

Anti-Semitism is obviously the responsibility of the anti-Semites. Anti-Semitic thought is deeply rooted in both Europe and the Arabic world. Attacks on Jewish targets have occurred for centuries, also in the Middle East. Anti-Semitic ideas and attacks can therefore not be caused by the existence of the state Israel or by the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel is at best the latest excuse for anti-Semites. Holding Israel responsible for anti-Semitic beliefs is a version of the old idea that "the Jews" are to blame for everything. The same goes for blaming the Jewish secret service, the Mossad, for attacks on Jewish targets in the Middle East and in Europe.

Part II

A picture is worth a Thousand Words

Zionism, the nationalist movement of Israel borrows the same tactics as Nazism, the nationalist movement of the Third Reich. The following two pages will explain this in a pictorial of then and now.

"American intervention...will change the United States regime into an authoritarian, totalitarian one in comparison with which the European forerunners - fascist and Nazi - will feel themselves far surpassed and perfected. "

Benito Mussolini

Upon the US invasion of Iraq, the actions described below increasingly surface within US policy. Israel continues as the primary military consultant to the US in the Middle East. Within our government, the majority of democrats and republicans now adopt and promote Zionism, an underlying ideology of the apostate Christian movement known as dispensationalism or millennialism and heavily promoted by most within the Christian Right including Moral Majority founder Rev. Jerry Falwell, The 700 Club's Pat Robertson, (In July 2002, Robertson was presented with The State of Israel Friendship Award by the Chicago chapter of the Zionist Organization of America), Focus on the Family's Dr. James Dobson and our own President Bush.

This is a bipartisan disease. Zionism continues to infect the Liberal left as well, claiming the high profile voices of Hillary Clinton, Joseph Lieberman, Nancy Pelosi...roughly 70% of our Federal Government and defense policy makers succumb to this racial elitist ideology. These Israeli 'values' over time now reflect as the new American values. Based upon the US Constitution, our Declaration of Independence and the Federalists papers, documents in conjunction with the Gospels representing the values America is founded on, none of these documents allow for Zionism. It represents the polar opposite of all we stand for. Witness how.

Israel an American Value?

How is the persecution and terrorizing of children an American Value?

Nazism Then

The man pictured here is estimated to be in his seventies and just trying to get home. The soldiers decided to hassle him and knocked him down simply to humiliate him. This was standard procedure at Nazi checkpoints in Occupied Poland. Jews were considered subhuman

Zionism Today

The man pictured here is in his sixties and just trying to get home. The soldiers decided to hassle him and knocked him down simply to humiliate him. This is standard procedure at Israeli checkpoints. Palestinians are considered subhuman.

Israel an American Value?

How is the persecution and terrorizing of the elderly an American Value?

Nazism Then

Jews were seen as subhuman and forced to wear Stars of David on their clothing as ID. Jews were also force to use different roads, sidewalks and neighborhoods from their Aryan counterparts in Nazi Germany, primarily, the propaganda stated, to prevent terrorist attacks against German citizens. In actuality it was yet another form of control and humiliation designed to wear down and demoralize the Jewish people.

ZIONISM TODAY

Christian and Muslims are seen as subhuman and are forced to use color coded license plates that easily identify them as non-Jewish. Palestinians are forced to use different roads, sidewalks and neighborhoods from their Jewish counterparts primarily to prevent terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens. In actuality it was yet another form of control and humiliation designed to wear down and demoralize the Palestinian people. 93% of Israel is off limits to non-Jewish residents...though exceptions are made for tourists.

Israel an American Value?

How is segregation based on faith and race an American Value?

"It is my considered opinion that the State of Israel is a racist state in the full meaning of this term. In this state people are discriminated against, in the most permanent and legal way and in the most important areas of life, only because of their origin. This racist discrimination began in Zionism and is carried out today mainly in cooperation with the institutions of the Zionist movement."

The Late Professor Israel Shahak, a Holocaust survivor
and Chairman of Israeli League for Civil and Human Rights

Israel an American Value?

Torture and summary executions were not American values until we prostituted ourselves for the sake of Israel, thus adopting their policies, programs and procedures, despite the conflicts with our constitution and stated principles.

Though these actions violate every principle the United States is founded on, we support and protect these policies in Israel and engage in them in Iraq and Afghanistan making the term, "American values" the ultimate oxymoron.

hey parrot above,
Repeat your propaganda 200 times. 23100 times if you like. Are you hoping that will make it come true?

All neo-nazis are anti-zionists.
David Duke is an anti-zionist too. Pat Buchanan is an anti-zionist, and so was Adolph Hitler.

Why far right as you post on Indymedia? Because when it comes to the right of the Jewish people to have their own state, most ‘progressives’ share the views of Nazis and Klansmen

"Because when it comes to the right of the Jewish people to have their own state, most ‘progressives’ share the views of Nazis and Klansmen"

...and Palestinians. I'd even go so far as to say that the only people who do support your racist state are Jewish and Chrisatan Zionists.

What right did you have to establish your state on the land of another people? Palestinians were there long before your psychotic racist cult was even dreamed up by your pathetic psychotic forefather. Feel free to delude yourself but don't try to pass it off as *reality* freakazoid. You're just another racist bunch of grubby little thieves and murderers.

The 3rd Category and the Palestinian Solidarity Movement

Gilad Atzmon

30.6.05

As far as self perception is concerned, those who call themselves Jews could be divided into three main categories:

1. those who follow Judaism.

2. those who regard themselves as human beings that happen to be of Jewish origin.

3. those who put their Jewishness over and above all of their other traits.

Obviously, the first two categories specify an harmless group of people. We do tend to respect religious people, as they are generally expected to be living inspired by their beliefs and are expected to abide by some sort of a higher spiritual code. Needless to say, we have no problem with the second category as well. One cannot choose one’s origin. We agree that people must be respected and treated equally regardless of their origin or their racial and ethnic belonging.

However the third category is largely problematic. Clearly, its definition may sound inflammatory to some. And yet, bizarrely enough, it is a general formulation of Chaim Weizmann’s view of the Jewish identity as expressed in his famous address at the First Jewish Congress: “There are no English, French, German or American Jews, but only Jews living in England, France, Germany or America.”[1]

According to Weizmann, a prominent Zionist figure, Jewishness is a primary quality. You may be a Jew who dwells in England, a Jew who plays the violin or even a Jew against Zionism. But above all else you are a Jew. And this is exactly the idea conveyed by the 3rd category. It is all about viewing Jewishness as the key element in one’s being. Any other quality is secondary.

This is exactly the message the early Zionists were interested in promulgating. For Weizmann, Jewishness is a unique quality that stops the Jew from assimilating within the nation he is a citizen of. He will always remain an alien. This very line of thinking was more than apparent in most early Zionist writings. Jabotinsky, the founder of right wing Zionism, takes it even further. He is more than firm that assimilation is impossible due to some biological conditioning. Here is what he had to say about the German Jew: "A Jew brought up among Germans may assume German customs, German words. He may be wholly imbued with that German fluid but the nucleus of his spiritual structure will always remain Jewish, because his blood, his body, his physical racial type are Jewish." (Vladimir Jabotinsky, 'A Letter on Autonomy', 1904). The reader may notice that these outrageous racist ideas predate Nazism. Jabotinsky wasn’t alone, even the Marxist Ber Borochov who refers the Jewish condition to some historical and material circumstances is suggesting a remedy that is particular to Jewish people, i.e. Jewish Nationalism in which Jews will practice some proletarian activity, namely production. As it seems, Borochov lets Jews be separated from the international proletarian revolution. Why does he do this? Just because Jews are uniquely Jewish or at least the Zionists tend to believe they are.

However, one may rightly ask whether it was the Zionists who invented this 3rd category?

In fact, it is not that way at all.

Seemingly, Shakespeare had noticed this very pattern three hundred years earlier. Shylock, the famous money lender from Venice was a proper 3rd category Jew. He clearly admits that more than anything else he is a Jew who possesses many human features. ‘I am a Jew’ says Shylock, “Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?” And yet Shylock insists that he shares many human features: “Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is.” Shylock claims to be essentially similar to the entire humanity: “If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?....”[2] Noticeably, according to Shylock the Jew is as vulnerable as an ordinary human being and yet he is primarily Jewish.

This is indeed the essence of Zionism, The Zionist is first and foremost a Jew. He can’t be just an ordinary British citizen who happens to be of a Jewish descent. He is rather a Jew who dwells in Britain. He is a Jew who speaks English, he is a Jew who gets his health services from the NHS, he is a Jew who happens to drive on the left side of the road. He is the ultimate Other. Generally speaking, 3rd category Jews are the ultimate Others. Just because they are always somewhere at the margins of or apart from any given human condition or human landscape.

Zionist agents

As it seems, Shylock was a Zionist, he fitted perfectly into Weizmann’s model. He was a 3rd category Jew. However, Shylock didn’t make it to Palestine. He didn’t engage himself in confiscating Palestinian land. He wasn’t even an Israeli soldier. In fact the 3rd category Jew doesn’t have to move to Palestine. Apparently, dwelling in Zion is merely just one possible practice within the Zionist philosophy. In order to become a proper Zionist you don’t have to wander. Sometimes it is actually better if you stay exactly wherever you are. Let us read what Victor Ostrovsky, an ex-Mossad agent, is telling us about 3rd category Jews.

"The next day Ran S. delivered a lecture on the sayanim, a unique and important part of the Mossad's operation. Sayanim - assistants - must be 100 percent Jewish. They live abroad, and though they are not Israeli citizens, many are reached through their relatives in Israel. An Israeli with a relative in England, for example, might be asked to write a letter telling the person bearing the letter that he represents an organization whose main goal is to help save Jewish people in the diaspora. Could the British relative help in any way?.....There are thousands of sayanim around the world. In London alone, there are about 2,000 who are active, and another 5,000 on the list. They fulfill many different roles. A car sayan, for example, running a rental agency, could help the Mossad rent a car without having to complete the usual documentation. An apartment sayan would find accommodation without raising suspicions, a bank sayan could get you money if you needed it in the middle of the night, a doctor sayan would treat a bullet wound without reporting it to the police, and so on. The idea is to have a pool of people available when needed who can provide services but will keep quiet about them out of loyalty to the cause. They are paid only costs." [3]

I assume that it must be clear that sayanim are basically 3rd category Jews. People who regard themselves primarily as Jews. The sayan is a man who would betray the nation in which he is a citizen just to satisfy a bizarre notion of a clannish brotherhood.

Zionism, an International Network

We are now starting to realise that Zionism shouldn’t be seen merely as a nationalist movement with a clear geographical aspiration. It isn’t exactly a colonial movement with an interest in Palestine. Zionism appears to be an international movement that is fuelled by the solidarity of 3rd category subjects. To be a Zionist means just to accept that more than anything else you are primarily a Jew.

Ostrovsky continues:

“You have at your disposal a non-risk recruitment system that actually gives you a pool of millions of Jewish people to tap from outside your own borders. It's much easier to operate with what is available on the spot, and sayanim offer incredible practical support everywhere….Now one might suggest that, for example, Great Britain could use a similar system and recruit among WASPS around the world. But they don't, because they can't. It takes an extraordinary degree of racial solidarity and racial motivation to develop and maintain such a "non-risk recruitment system" and see to it that it works properly. Remember, all of these activities are spying, with long prison sentences if caught. Americans of English, Irish and Italian ancestry may have some residual loyalties to the old "mother country." But this residue is nothing like the racial solidarity of the Jews. Such racial feelings are so strong and so pervasive among Jews that the Mossad knew in advance that their recruitment system was "non-risk." Britain, Ireland, Italy and the Vatican know better than to try to implement such a thing. [4]

Ostrovsky is talking here about ‘racial solidarity’. But in fact, Jews are far from being a single race. As funny as it may sound, most Palestinians are more racially Jewish than the Ashkenazi Jews.

So if it isn’t a racial solidarity, what is it that leads the sayan to run the risk of years of imprisonment? What did Jonathan Pollard have in his mind when he clearly betrayed his country? What do those 2,000 sayanim here in London have in their minds when they betray their Queen? I assume that we are left here with one possibility: the solidarity of the 3rd category Jews. It is namely a solidarity of the people who regard themselves primarily as Jews.

I tend to regard Ostrovsky’s testimony as a very reliable report. As we know, at the time, the Israeli government was using every possible means to stop the publication of his books. In fact, this strange Israeli activity was more than an affirmation that Ostrovsky was indeed a Mossad agent and that the story that he is telling is rather genuine.

In a radio interview Joseph Lapid, at the time an Israeli senior columnist, opened his heart and told the world what he thought of Ostrovsky: “Ostrovsky is the most treacherous Jew in modern Jewish history. And he has no right to live, except if he's prepared to return to Israel and stand trial.”[5]

Valerie Pringle, the journalist on the other side of the line asked Lapid: “Do you feel it's a responsible statement to say what you've said?”

Lapid: “Oh yes, I fully believe in that. And unfortunately the Mossad cannot do it because we cannot endanger our relations with Canada. But I hope there will be a decent Jew in Canada who does it for us.”

Pringle: “You hope this. You could live with his blood on your hands?”

Lapid: “Oh no. It's to...only it will not be his blood on my hands. It will be justice to a man who does the most horrible thing that any Jew can think of, and that is that he's selling out the Jewish state and the Jewish people for money to our enemies. There is absolutely nothing worse that a human being, if he can be called a human being, can do”.

Lapid, later a member in Sharon’s cabinet, makes it more than clear: to be a Jew is a deep commitment that goes far beyond any legal or moral order. It is far more essential than any universal ethical perception. Clearly, for Lapid, Jewishness is not a spiritual stand, it is a political commitment. It is a world view that applies to the very last Jew on this planet. As he says: the Mossad can’t really kill Ostrovsky, thus, it is down to a ‘decent Canadian Jew’ to do the job. As is evident, a Zionist journalist is expressing here the most outrageous of views. He encourages a fellow Jew to commit a murder in the name of the Jewish brotherhood. In short, not only does Lapid affirm Ostrovsky’s report about the world of sayanim, he also confirms Weizmann’s view that from a Zionist point of view, there are no Canadian Jews but only Jews who live in Canada.

I think that the above leaves us with enough room to conclude that at least in the Zionists’ eyes, Jewishness is basically an international network operation. Ostrovsky calls it ‘racial solidarity’, I call it 3rd category brotherhood and Weizmann calls it Zionism. But it all means the very same thing. It is all about commitment, a global agenda that pools more and more Jews into an obscure, dangerous fellowship. Apparently, Zionism is not about Israel. Israel is just a colony, a territorial asset violently maintained by a mission force composed of 3rd category Jews. In fact, there is no geographical centre to the Zionist endeavor. It is hard to determine where the centre of Zionist decision making is. Is it in Jerusalem? In the Knesset, in Sharon’s cabinet, in the Mossad, or maybe in the ADL offices in America? It might as well be somewhere in Wall Street? Who knows?

But then, it is of course more than possible that there is no decision making process at all. The beauty of a network operative system is that not a single operator within the network is fully familiar with the network but is only aware of his personal role within it. This is probably the biggest strength of the Zionist movement.

Looking at Zionism as a global network operation would determine a major shift in our perspective of current world affairs:

The Palestinians, for instance, aren’t just the victims of the Israeli occupation, they are rather the victims of 3rd category Jews who decided to transform Palestine into a Jewish national bunker. The Iraqis, are better seen as the victims of the those 3rd category Jews who decided to transform the American army into a Jewish mission force. The Muslim world should be seen as a subject to some neo-conservative 3rd category tendency to make Nathan Sharansky’s Democratic ideology into the new American Bible for the 3rd world.

It is pretty depressing indeed.

The Jewish humanist

The Palestinian activist Reem Abdehadi, when asked for her opinion about Jewish anti Zionist campaigners, said sarcastically: “they are very nice, all fifteen of them…”

We must admit that not many Jews are there to fight against Zionism. However, amongst those few who engage themselves in this battle we find some people who insist upon doing so under the Jewish banner, e.g. Jews Against Zionism, Jews for Justice for Palestinians, etc.

While writing this paper I have started to ask myself what category those Jewish leftist groups belong to. Clearly, they do not fit into the 1st category. Jewish left is a ‘religious’ atheist tendency. They really don’t like to involve God in politics or in anything else. In most cases they are hostile to Judaism and even to those Orthodox Jews who happen to stand up to Zionism. But it isn’t only Judaism that they dislike. They aren’t fond of Islam or Christianity either. Those amongst them who endorse the idea of a one state solution do insist that the future Palestine must be ‘a secular’ and a democratic state’. Not that I am in any position to suggest what the future Palestine is going to be, I would just try to propose that it must be down to the citizens of this future state to decide what type of kingdom they prefer to live in.

Anyhow, those Jewish leftists fail as well to fit into the 2nd category. They do not regard themselves as ordinary humanists who happen to be of Jewish descent. If they were, they would simply join the Palestinian Solidarity movement like other Jews who prefer to act mainly as humanists. But then, rather than joining the Solidarity Campaign, they form some exclusive political cells that allow them to operate under the Jewish banner.

Consequently, we must admit that they all belong to the 3rd category. In fact they prefer to regard themselves as ‘Jews who hold some leftist views’. Clearly, amongst those groups you will find some wonderful people who genuinely believe that Zionism is wrong, that Zionism is racist and nationalist. But in fact these people are themselves operating as 3rd category Jews. They all act politically under a Jewish banner. In practical terms, they all follow Weizmann’s school. Rather than being Humanists who happen to be Jewish (2nd category), they are Jews who happen to be Humanists. But then, since acting politically under a Jewish banner is in fact the very definition of Zionism, it is reasonable to deduce that all Jewish left activity is in practice not more than a form of left Zionism. One may ask whether it is really possible to be a left Zionist? Is there left and right in a network group that is set primarily on a racial category and clannish brotherhood?

The answer is no. There is no left and right within Zionism but rather different right wing political apparatuses. Some Zionist political calls are adopting the shape of left discourse. I had noticed for instance that Jewish Marxists insist upon calling each other comrade. In fact they are mainly engaged in Marxist verbal rituals. But apparently, this isn’t enough. Ideology is more than a mere language game. In reality, those Jewish left clubs are operating as the body shield of the 3rd category identity. This may explain the fact that as far as the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign is concerned, those groups are primarily engaged in guarding some 3rd category Jewish interests that have very little to do with the Palestinians and their daily misery.

If to be more precise, those Jewish left groups are engaged mainly in searching for ‘anti-Semites, Holocaust deniers and Jew haters. Somehow, they always find them amongst the most active and devoted 2nd category Jews. As it seems (to me at least), for these Jewish sporadic cells, Palestinian solidarity is just another instrument to draw attention to the myth of Jewish humanism. I will try to be very clear and transparent here. There is no Jewish secular humanism. No doubt many humanists happen to be Jewish and yet there is not a single Jewish secular humanist theorem or text.[6] This is mainly because Jewish secularity is not a philosophical position. It is rather a complete abandonment of God. Jewish secularity is a form of ethnicity based merely on some exclusive tendencies and a vague collective memory of some ritual heritage.

So, is there a Jewish Conspiracy to run the world?

Not really. First it must be clear that 1st and 2nd category Jews have nothing to do with all the above. For 1st category Jews, being Jewish means practicing Judaism. To follow a spiritual call and to obey God’s law. As we know, Zionism is still far from being popular amongst ultra orthodox Rabbis. However, I must admit that some would rightly argue that following the teaching of the Talmudic law many religious Jews do regard themselves as a chosen category. For me, this simply means that they fall into the 3rd category rather than the 1st one. This probably applies to the orthodox sects that allied with Zionism throughout the course of time.

The second category Jews have no intention of taking part in any global Jewish networking. They regard themselves as an ordinary and liberated human beings with no special privilege. Amongst the 2nd category Jews we find the most enlightening emancipated humanists. Those very great intellects that contributed to 20th century liberal and humanist thinking. As we all know, hardly any of them came from Israel or a Zionist faction.

When it comes to the 3rd category, we are faced with a slight problem. I tend to believe that the 3rd category Jews are mutually acting together. But then whether they are fully aware of it or not is a big question. Throughout the years they have formed a network that operates as a global Zionist body shield. They simply act in harmony, they protect each other. Even when they fight against one another, they depict an image of pluralism. I think that this is the essence of Zionism’s miraculous success.

A week ago I read a brilliant insight by Rowan Berkeley on Peacepalestine website. Rowan, a Londoner whom I know vaguely, had been flirting in the past with the idea of becoming a Jew. In the following comment he is aiming to explain the common Jewish take on Zionism. In fact, without realising it, he describes the 3rd category tactic:

“First they ask, Do you believe that (Jewish) Nationalism is a Good Thing, or a Bad Thing?

If you say it is a Good Thing, they will direct you to the Jewish Right, which will tell you that Jews have as much of a right to be nationalistic as anybody else does.

If you say it is a Bad Thing, they will direct you to the Jewish Left, which will tell you that you are not allowed to protest against Zionism on any basis other than Marxist or Anarchist Proletarian Internationalism - thus disqualifying almost all the actually existing anti-Zionist movements in the Arab world.

They can get away with this ideological shell game because each individual discursive arena is controlled by one or another Jewish faction.”[7]

Yes, I do believe that Rowan’s insight hits the nail right on the head. He is absolutely correct. But then, unlike Rowan I do believe that Jews Against Zionism are genuine. They simply fight Zionism without realising that they themselves are Zionists. Without realising that they are the most orthodox followers of Weizmann’s school. If they are really interested in bringing Zionism down, their tactics are obviously wrong.

I wrote to some of them about the subject before, I have seen some discussion about my views in many different Jewish left circles and yet, I have never come across any argumentative response from any of those sporadic exclusive groups. Rather than being confronted with my thoughts, they are solely engaged in labeling. I have already been: ‘a self hating Jew’, ‘a Christian fundamentalist’, ‘a Holocaust denier’, ‘an apologist for Holocaust deniers’, ‘a neo-nazi’, ‘a Stalinist’, ‘a Zionist agent’, ‘an anti-Semite’ and many more.

Two weeks ago, a small group of Jewish leftists picketed against me in front of a Marxist bookshop. I tried to write to them arguing that if Palestine is on top of one’s agenda, a protest in front of the Israeli embassy or any other 3rd category Jewish institute would be far more effective. They dismissed my call.

I am fully aware of the fact that crucifying me and burning my books is no doubt a proper 3rd category practice, but unfortunately it isn’t going to help the Palestinian at the checkpoint. It isn’t going to help the millions of refugees who have been living for almost six decades without elementary rights.

Israel is an inhuman political setup and we therefore must fight it as human beings rather than as sporadic ethnic or religious groups.

Gilad Atzmon - Born in Israel on 9th June 1963

Raised as a secular Israeli Jew in Jerusalem, Gilad Atzmon witnessed and empathised with the daily sufferings of Palestinians and spent 20 years trying to resolve for himself the tensions of his background. Finally disillusioned, he moved away from Israel and went to England to study philosophy. Yet when he met Asaf Sirkis, a drummer from his homeland, Atzmon recovered an interest in playing the music of the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe that had been in the back of his mind for years. Atzmon founded the Orient House Ensemble in London and started re-defining his own
roots in the light of political reality. He now regards himself as a devoted political artist.

Thanks for that reminder. Lest we forget that anyone who doesn't subscribe to the racist xenophobia of zionism is a "racist"? Hahaha That's a good one.

Worst of all are Jews who cannot support the idea of a Jewish state and national identity built on a racist premise and stolen land - they are "self-hating Jews".

You're a classic example of the people he talks about in the article. The reason why you despise him so would be that he has seen into your shrivelled, crippled soul and named the evil he saw. What treachery!? You Zionists better find yourself another figleaf.

Zionism is exactly the same as Nazism

The United Nations was correct in defining Zionism as Racism - although, they should have been more pedantic and defined it as a "religiously inspired racist and eugenic cult".

What does "chosen one" mean?

What does "Judenstaat" mean?

What did the Zion-Nazi Bolton's role in having the UN rescind an accurate definition of Zionism?

Here is a little correction to your far-right lies -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_General_Assembly_Resolution_4686

The UN General Assembly's December, 1991, made the decision to Invalidate Resolution 3379 equating Zionism with racism by a vote of 87 to 25.

<<What does "chosen one" mean?<<

this irrelevant and racist question discredite and pointed out your racist ideology (Antizionism) more than I ever could.
Hitler-lovers(as you),Neo-nazis/antizionists spread forged and distorted "quotes from talmud." on the internet
For religious jews "chosen" means "chosen to suffer" nothing else, nothing more and nothing less.
It has nothing to do with "world domination"..
So take your mad conspiracy theories and shove them
Btw,"jews" are an ethnic rather than a religious group.

<<What does "Judenstaat" mean?<<

what does 'australian state' mean ?
typical of an hatemonger contradictory position: Jews have no right to a national self-determination, but at the same time cannot be true citizens of other countries.

<<What did the Antizion-Nazis role in having the UN rescind old racist definition of Zionism ?<<

Who cares ?
Normal people aren't falling for racist-antizionist stupid lies covered by whining and crying..

No one believes anti-zionist lies anymore its only a matter of time scumbags.

Israel has refused to extradite a Polish-born Jew accused of war crimes against Germans in World War II.

Solomon Morel, an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor, is said to be responsible for the deaths of up to 1,500 prisoners.

Mr Morel commanded a Russian-run camp where Germans were held after the Soviets occupied Poland in 1945.

Mr Morel moved to Israel in 1994 when inquiries began in Poland. A previous extradition call was refused in 1998.

Israel's Justice Ministry told the BBC that Poland's extradition request had been turned down, but gave no further details.

Polish prosecutors say Israel refused the request, saying there was "no basis whatsoever" to extradite Mr Morel, the Associated Press reports.

Israel has no extradition treaty with Poland.

'One measure'

A prosecutor at Poland's Institute for National Remembrance - which investigates war-era crimes - criticised the decision, alluding to Israel's support of the prosecution of elderly people accused of genocide against Jews during the war.

"There should be one measure for judging war criminals, irrespective whether they are German, Israeli or any other nationality," Ewa Koj told the Associated Press news agency.

Mr Morel had survived incarceration in Auschwitz concentration camp earlier in the war, and lost many members of his family in the Holocaust.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organisation, regularly pressures foreign governments to prosecute those accused of Holocaust-era crimes.

Last year the organisation launched a "last chance" campaign to bring former Nazis and other Holocaust-era criminals to justice.

Second try

Mr Morel's case was brought to light in the 1990s when a US Jewish journalist, John Sack, published a book detailing alleged "revenge killings" by Jews placed in charge of prison camps at the end of the war.

Poland attempted to extradite Mr Morel in 1998, but Israel refused the request on technical grounds.

Poland's post-war communist government imprisoned some 100,000 Germans in 1945, and at least 15,000 are estimated to have died in captivity.

u're right, stormfront-idiot, and US federals has refused to extradite a black afro-american accused of war crimes against KKK.

When racist Anti-zionists find themselves without any argument they either get into hysteria like spoiled children, or spam

Thankyou for your clever little retort Zionazi. But don't forget, what's good for Jews is good for Palestinians.

Similarly, if I bash a Jew like you to death with a table leg, I can simply write it off as your come-uppance for what you've done to Palestinians. Right?

Let your double standard, hypocritical squawking begin...

Holocaust Jew accused of war crimes
By Allan Hall
Age Correspondent
Berlin
July 11, 2005

An old Jewish man who took his own cold-blooded revenge against Germans for the Holocaust will not be extradited back to Poland from Israel to answer charges of genocide.

The case of Solomon Morel, 86, is the only one in Holocaust history where a Jew stands accused of war crimes against Germans.

It has perplexed legal minds in both countries. Poland says genocide is genocide whether a Jew or a Nazi committed it, while many Israelis see rough justice in the 1500 German deaths for which Mr Morel is alleged to be responsible.

Now the Israeli Government has said that Mr Morel will not be sent back to stand trial in Poland under any circumstances.

Mr Morel, who came from the little Polish town of Grabowo, claims he was an Auschwitz survivor whose family was murdered by the Nazis during World War II. A book, An Eye for an Eye, which documents his strange life, claims his family was indeed liquidated, but by Poles who collaborated with the Nazis. It also says that he was never imprisoned by the Germans.
AdvertisementAdvertisement

By 1943 he was employed peeling potatoes for a Jewish partisan brigade before escaping to the Soviet Union, where he trained in the gruesome interrogation methods of the NKVD, Stalin's political police, before returning to Poland in 1945. He was then put in charge by the communists of a camp containing thousands of German prisoners including SS men, soldiers and civilians.

John Sack, the Jewish-American author of An Eye for an Eye, claims Mr Morel, as commandant of Swietochlowice Camp, morphed into the kind of monster that would have been welcomed by the Gestapo.

"His favourite method of killing prisoners was hacking the skull of his victims with a wooden leg of a chair," according to the book. "It is quite possible that in Swietochlowice several thousand persons were murdered by Morel and his men.

Sack's book, and a score of Polish books and newspaper articles, said he beat, shot, starved, tortured and killed with gusto in the camp.

"I knew Morel in the camp. He was a very brutal man," survivor Dorota Boriczek said. "He was young then. He would come in at night. We could hear the cries of the men then. They would beat them and throw the bodies out of the window."

In 1989, a Polish reporter found Mr Morel living in a part of Katowice assigned for former uniformed functionaries of communist terror.

In the early 1990s, the Main Commission for the Investigations of Crimes Against the Polish Nation started an official investigation of Mr Morel's activities in the Swietochlowice Camp after witness articles appeared in the press.

In 1994, Mr Morel sought political asylum in Sweden. This was refused. He then successfully sought sanctuary in Israel.

Poland tried to extradite him seven years ago on torture charges. Israel refused. So prosecutors began preparing a genocide case, for which there is no statute of limitations.

Last week, they received a blank refusal from Israel saying "there was no basis whatsoever" to extradite Mr Morel.

A Polish prosecutor said testimony from former inmates documented Mr Morel's torture of at least 13 prisoners.

"There should be one measure for judging war criminals, irrespective whether they are German, Israeli, or any other nationality," the prosecutor said.

"Similarly, if I bash a Jew like you to death with a table leg, I can simply write it off as your come-uppance for what you've done to Palestinians. Right?"

Considering that the "palestinians" are continuing Hitler's work, your analogy is false. More correctly if you chose to bash to death a palestinian who slaughtered innocent Israeli women and children with a table leg you would be following the correct path.
Killing a Jew for defending himself against Nazi arabs is complicit with the nazis...therefore, YOU deserve to be bashed about!

hahahahaha

The worst crime that Zionism has inflicted on the world is to take its immoral analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and impose it on everybody. The Zionist goal is to continue to steal land, and in order to do so has to re-characterize the natural Palestinian resistance to the illegal state terrorism of Israel, state terrorism which is intended to drive the Palestinians out of the Occupied Territories. Therefore, the Palestinian resistance is 'terrorism', and the Israeli attacks are all 'self-defense'. It's an amazing propaganda victory when Palestinian children throwing rocks at soldiers who are illegally occupying their country are terrorists, and the IDF soldier who uses a high powered rifle or a tank shell to shoot them is engaging in self-defense. But that's what we read every day. For this nonsense to fly it is necessary to promote the ogre of Islamic extremists whose sole goal in life is to exterminate the Jews and push Israel 'into the sea'. There are no doubt such people, prompted by years of abuse at the hands of Israel (abuse which we're only finding out about now, but which has characterized the entire history of Israel, and which has to inform our understanding of the real motives behind Israeli actions in the Occupied Territories), but most of us know most people of all races aren't that way, and depicting all Muslims as murderous psychopaths is just part of the racist basis of Zionism.

The truth is still the same as before - all racist (as yourself) and neo-nazis are Anti-zionists.

Funny how you can't come up with any real arguments so you spew lies and misrepresentations.
what you do - repeat again and again as a parrot selective quotes

Don't confuse anti-zionist with someone who really wants to exchange ideas.

Let me just summarise the argument of the Zionazi above when confronted with evidence of the inherent racism and moral corruption of Zionism.

Yeeeeeaaaarrrrgghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (translated: sob - the poor widdle Jews never done nuffin to no-one)

Yeah that works as a kind of intellectual foetal position but not much else. Lacks the power and conviction of....

"It's an amazing propaganda victory when Palestinian children throwing rocks at soldiers who are illegally occupying their country are terrorists, and the IDF soldier who uses a high powered rifle or a tank shell to shoot them is engaging in self-defense."

But we can't expect much from the President of Morons for Zion.

The tide of history has turned - Camp Israel (for mentally deficient Jewish children) will be closed down.

Let me anticipate the response from the retarded Zionazi. Will it go something like this....."Yeeeaaaarrrgh!!!!"?

Our racist parrotization above is the best evidence that AntiZionism and nazism is the same shit.

Anti-Zionism is not merely the expression of neo-nazism and Arab-nationalism but, in its conception and execution, a form of Racism that views Jews as an inferior people and treats them as disposable
We make it clear that we are of the party that believes in the Jewish conspiracy that tries to control the nations.
This is the propaganda the Nazis used.

No one believes our anti-zionist lies anymore its only a matter of time .

Wow!

That was like 16 semi-trailers full of fecal matter all driving in from each point of the compass and all crashing head on. Fantastic!

Funny, how the same people who mock 'zionist' are notably incapable of answering them

"Funny, how the same people who mock 'zionist' are notably incapable of answering them"

Is that right 'just me'?

Where was the 'zionist response' to this article http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2005/03/89005_comment.php#93786 ??? (that was the one about Zionist collaboration with the Nazis) Oh, you only respond when you can get a cheap shot in?

And your favorite author claims that "anti-zionism" is the "expression of neo-nazism".

And then the old fave comes out...about the "poor widdle jews"...persecuted with "a form of Racism that views Jews as an inferior people and treats them as disposable".

Yeah right, the poor widdle Jews, who invaded Palestine, and concocted and fabricated excuses to steal land from Palestinians, and somehow cajoled the UN into giving them someone elses land, and when that wasn't enough concocted and fabricated excuses to attack Palestinians and steal more of their land, and then killed young, old, men and women Palestinians in a cold and calculated holocaust, and established an apartheid state.

Anti-zionist cooperation with the Nazis

Anti-Jews (Anti-zionists) cooperated with the nazis and still does They have no shame to complaine about -'anti-Arabism'(anti-islamism')

Hitler was very impressed by the Mohammedan faith as he saw its great advances in Europe. By contrast, he saw the Christian church in disunity, losing "millions and millions of inward adherents", and ineffective in its overseas mission efforts. However, we are not suggesting that Hitler based Nazism upon his admiration of the wonderful advancements of Islam in Europe.

How widespread the general disunity was growing is shown by an examination of religious conditions before the War. Here, too, a unified and effective philosophical conviction had long since been lost in large sections of the nation. In this the members officially breaking away from the churches play a less important role than those who are completely indifferent. While both denominations maintain missions in Asia and Africa in order to win new followers for their doctrine — an activity which can boast but very modest success compared to the advance of the Mohammedan faith in particular right here in Europe they lose millions and millions of inward adherents who either are alien to all religious life or simply go their own ways. The consequences, particularly from the moral point of view, are not favorable.7

It is coincidental that Mein Kampf means My Struggle or My Fight in English and in Arabic means My Jihad. Hitler's Jihad was both idealistic and militaristic; it was personal as well as social; it was national as well as international. The German translation of the Qur'an uses the term, Kampf, in various places.

Kämpfe darum für Allahs Sache Sure 4:84
Then fight in Allah's cause Sura 4:84

O Prophet, feuere die Gläubigen zum Kampf an. Sure 8:65
O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. Sura 8:65

The Qur'an refers to the Jews who broke the Sabbath day as apes, Hitler referred to the Jews as apes too.

But even here, in reality, he [the Jew] is only a ' juggler,' or rather an ape.8 — Hitler

And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected." al-Baqarah 2:65 — Muhammad

[/quote]
SS chief Heinrich Himmler was known to remark that he regretted that Germany had adopted Christianity, rather than "warlike" Islam, as its religion, and there is a disturbing amount of twisted but very real logic in his remark. Beyond the obvious dislike of a certain other religion, we have the plain fact that both Nazism and Islam both openly aim at world conquest. Both demand the total subordination of the free will of the individual – the very word "Islam" means submission in Arabic. Both are explicitly anti-nationalist and believe in the liquidation of the nation-state in favor of a "higher" community: in Islam the umma or community of all believers; in Nazism the herrenvolk or master race. Both believe in undemocratic leadership by a privileged knower of an absolute, eternal, and ultimately mystical truth: the caliph or führer respectively. To be fair, in strict Nazism Arabs are racial Semites and thus subhumans, but as Robert Locke has written, the Nazis did not really believe in their racial mythology when they found it inconvenient, and they exploited their commonalities with Islam for all they were worth. If the British army had not stopped Rommel in the sands of El Alamein in 1942, preventing him from conquering the Middle East, the consequences for world history might have been dramatic. What did happen was quite ugly enough.

The Nazis began by attempting to exploit Arab resentment of the British and French colonial rule that they were under during the 1930’s, colonial rule which, in light of the subsequent bloody and tyrannical history of the region, it is hard to condemn today as worse than the likely alternative. The promised the Arabs "liberation" from the French and British, a promise which the naïve Arabs, not grasping the character of a Nazi regime that would likely have reduced them to slaves in its own empire, took at face value. This gave rise to a curious Arab ditty rendered in English thus:

"No more monsieur,

No more mister.

In heaven Allah,

On earth Hitler."

Hitler himself was even given an Arabic name: Abu Ali. But Hitler’s Germany went further and sensed the demonic potentialities inherent in the mythology, reliably emotionally satisfying to persons crazed with resentment, of radical anti-Semitism. It made a concerted, and remarkably successful effort to plant modern anti-Semitism in the Arab world.

The founding of Israel helped further this project. As Bernard Lewis has written,

"The struggle for Palestine greatly facilitated the acceptance of the anti-Semitic interpretation of history, and led some to attribute all evil in the Middle East—and, indeed, in the world—to secret Jewish plots."

Thus even before Israel was created the struggle to create it was turned into an existential battle of identity, with the complete denial of the legitimacy of Jewish existence as a central component of Moslem aspiration.

The Nazis managed to recruit some Moslems directly. Several Moslem SS divisions were raised: the Skanderbeg Division from Albania, the Handschar Division from Bosnia, and smaller units from throughout the Moslem world from Chechnya to Uzbekistan were incorporated into the German armed forces in one capacity or another. This was only taking the first step in Heinrich Himmler’s planned grand alliance between Nazi Germany and the Islamic world. One of his closest aides, Obergruppenführer Gottlob Berger, boasted that

"a link is created between Islam and National-Socialism on an open, honest basis. It will be directed in terms of blood and race from the North, and in the ideological-spiritual sphere from the East."

What an image: a Nazi-Moslem alliance to conquer the world! Naturally, totalitarian ideology (as shown by the Sino-Soviet and Iran-Taliban splits, for example) is a notoriously weak glue, so it is questionable how far this could have prospered. But the thought is chilling enough.

Major Nazi sympathizers of this era include Ahmed Shukairi, the first chairman of the PLO; Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat, future presidents of Egypt; and the founders of the Pan-Arab socialist Ba' ath party, currently ruling Syria and Iraq. One Ba'ath leader has since recalled of this time:

"We were racists, admiring Nazism, reading their books and sources of their thought. We were the first who thought of translating Mein Kampf."

Many of the Nazi sympathizers of this era have never repudiated their beliefs; some still openly parade them.

In 1945, one name was missing from the Allies’ list of war criminals, that of Haj Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti or supreme religious leader of Jerusalem and the former President of the Supreme Moslem Council of Palestine. In May 1941, the Mufti declared jihad against Britain and made his way to Berlin after the British put down his attempt to establish a pro-Nazi government in Iraq by a coup d’etat. When he met Hitler, on November 21, 1941, he declared that the Arabs are Germany’s natural friends, ready to cooperate with the Reich with all their hearts by the formation of an Arab Legion. Hitler promised that as soon as the German armies pushed into the Southern Caucasus the Arabs would be liberated from the British yoke. The Mufti’s part of the deal was to raise support for Germany among the Moslems in the Soviet Union, the Balkans and the Middle East. He conducted radio propaganda through the network of six stations, set up anti-British espionage and fifth column networks in the Middle East.

In the annual protest against the Balfour Declaration held in 1943 at the Luftwaffe hall in Berlin, the Mufti praised the Germans because they "know how to get rid of the Jews, and that brings us close to the Germans and sets us in their camp is that up to day." Echoing Muhammad after the battle of Badr, on March 1, 1944 the Mufti called in a broadcast from Berlin:

"Arabs! Rise as one and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor."

In 1941, he had pledged "to solve the question of the Jewish elements in Palestine and in other Arab countries as required by national interests, and in the same way as the Jewish question in the Axis lands is being solved." Bernard Lewis writes that in addition to the old goal of a Jew-free Arabia "he aimed at much vaster purposes, conceived not so much in pan-Arab as in pan-Islamic terms, for a Holy War of Islam in alliance with Germany against World Jewry, to accomplish the Final Solution of the Jewish problem everywhere."

According to German officials who knew him, The Mufti had repeatedly suggested to the various authorities with whom he was maintaining contact, above all to Hitler, Ribbentrop and Himmler, the extermination of European Jewry. He considered this as a comfortable solution of the Palestinian problem. Perhaps "the Nazis needed no persuasion or instigation," as he was later to claim, but the foremost Arab spiritual leader of his time did all he could to ensure that the Germans did not waver in their resolve. He went out of his way to prevent any Jews being allowed to leave Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, which were initially willing to let them go: "The Mufti was making protests everywhere — in the Office of the (Foreign) Minister, in the antechamber of the Secretary of State, and in other departments, such as Home Office, Press, Radio, and in the SS headquarters." In the end, Eichmann said, "We have promised him that no European Jew would enter Palestine any more."

The contemporary heirs to the Nazi view of Judentum are not the handful of powerless skinheads and Aryan Nation survivalists. They are schools, religious leaders, and mainstream intellectuals in the Moslem, meaning primarily Arab, world. Quite apart from the ups and downs of the misnamed "peace process" in the Middle East, quite apart from the more or less bellicose posture towards the government of Israel, the crude way they actively demonize all Jews as such is startling.

The most prominent and influential daily newspaper in the Arab world is Al-Ahram, a semi-official organ of the Egyptian government. In June 2001 it carried an op-ed article, "What exactly do the Jews want?"--and the answer was worthy of the Nazi newspaper the Völkische Beobachter six decades earlier:

"The Jews share boundless hatred of the gentiles, they kill women and children and sow destruction… Israel is today populated by people who are not descendants of the Children of Israel, but rather a mixture of slaves, Aryans and the remnants of the Khazars, and they are not Semites. In other words, people without an identity, whose only purpose is blackmails, theft and control over property and land, with the assistance of the Western countries."

The second most influential Egyptian daily is Al-Akhbar, which went a step further on April 18, 2001: "Our thanks go the late Hitler who wrought, in advance, the vengeance of the Palestinians upon the most despicable villains on the face of the earth. However, we rebuke Hitler for the fact that the vengeance was insufficient."

It is hard to imagine hatred more vitriolic than that which reproaches the Nazis for not completing the Final Solution more thoroughly. What is remarkable is not that such sentiments exist, but that they are freely circulated in the mainstream media and internalized by the opinion-making elite throughout the Moslem world. In the same league, we find the claim that the Holocaust in fact never happened and that the Jews and Israelis are the real Nazis is regularly made. The Jewish-Nazi theme is a favorite of Arab caricaturists, some of whom use the swastika interchangeably with the Star of David, or juxtapose them. Graphic depiction of the Jews appear to have been lifted directly from the pages of the notorious old Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer (The Stormtroooper.)

A final tidbit: it is no accident that a number of Nazi war criminals found refuge in Moslem nations. Take the notorious Otto Skorzeny, an SS officer who led the rescue of Mussolini from captivity, was described by the OSS, predecessor to the CIA, as "the most dangerous man in Europe," and later found service under General Nasser in Egypt. There were others.

Thankfully, the Nazis of course lost WWII and the abortive alliance between Islam and Nazism never panned out. Sadly, there exist Moslems today, not on the fringes but in the mainstream of their nations, who still view this as a great lost opportunity based on profound natural affinities.

Midland Nazi turns to Islam
A "Satanic Fuhrer" who urged neo-Nazis to fight a race war has turned full circle to become an Islamic fundamentalist.

Midland-based David Myatt, 51, was the political guru behind white supremacist group Combat 18 and has been the leading hardline Nazi intellectual in Britain since the 1960s.

Now the self-confessed Pagan and Adolf Hitler worshipper hails al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden as his inspiration and praises the World Trade Center attacks as acts of heroism.

Writing under various pseudo-nyms, including his Islamic name Abdul Aziz, the thrice-married Physics graduate has posted messages on Islamic religious websites supporting suicide missions and urging young Muslims to take up Jihad.

He is also believed to be the author of several anti-semitic and anti-West articles entitled 'The Crusader War Against Islam and The Zionist Quest for World Domination', written under the name Abdul Aziz ibn Myatt.

It is a far cry from his previous literary works which included the 1997 fascist terrorist handbook 'The Practical Guide to Aryan Revolution'. The book inspired Brixton nail-bomber David Copeland, who is now serving six life sentences.

According to anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, Myatt was also the Grand Master of a secret occult sect called the Order of the Nine Angels, which was alleged to have practised human sacrifice.

But a Sunday Mercury investigation suggests that his sudden conversion to Islam three years ago may be just a political ploy to advance his own failing anti-establishment agenda.

We discovered that Myatt uses various online identities to simultaneously post supportive messages on right-wing nationalist websites, while calling for the creation of a global Islamic superstate on Islamic religious internet sites.

On one site, Aryan Nation, he attempts to reconcile the differences between both extremes under the title Islamic Liaison Group dating his messages with his trademark yf (Year of the Fuhrer).

On another he argues that Muslims and Aryans share the same common enemy in the Jewish nation and western capitalism, supporting his diatribe with claims that more than 60,000 Muslims joined Hitler's SS in the Second World War.

He also continues to publish newsletters for his own German Nazi-modelled National Socialist Movement (NSM) which counted Copeland as a branch organiser and advocated terrorist insurrection to spark a race war.

On Islamic internet discussion sites he likens the American attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq to the Allied occupation of Hitler's Nazi Germany.

One Muslim internet user told the Sunday Mercury that Myatt, who has an IQ of 187, had convinced other users he was an Islamic scholar with his eloquent arguments backed with Koranic verses.

He said: "After September 11 Abdul Aziz's messages started to become more extreme.

"But because he wrote with authority, many less-knowledgeable Muslims thought he was a holy man and began supporting his fundamentalist views.

"When his true identity was revealed by other users on the site, he changed his online name to Abdul bin Aziz and then al Haqq.

"Other e-mail addresses he used included sheikh@al-qaeda.com.

"He was a very popular and controversial figure until he was unmasked late last year, after which people became much more wary about what he was writing and his messages dried up."

Gerry Gable, from anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, said: "Myatt is an ethereal character who has used numerous aliases to post messages on extremist websites.

"He is a dangerous man who has twice been jailed for his violent right-wing activities and who openly asked for blood to be spilled in the quest for white Aryan domination.

"We believe that despite his claims to be a devout Muslim he remains a deeply intellectual subversive and is still one of the most hardline Nazi intellectuals in Britain today.

"Myatt believes in the disruption of existing societies as a prelude to the creation of a new more warrior-like Aryan society which he calls the Galactic Empire.

"Now he has has simply jumped on the Islamic extremist bandwagon to further his own wish of a society divided on ethnic lines.

"He believes they have common enemies but it is his disillusionment with the ineptitude of the Nazi movement that has led to this most unholy of alliances."

Michael Whine, Chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, added: "Myatt has a long history of involvement with Nazi activity and anti-semitism.

"The fact that he has converted to Islam and allied himself with its extremist fringe is in line with the opportunist politics that have seen him dabble in Buddhism and Chinese Taoism in the past.

"I would advise all Muslims to have nothing to do with this man."

But one hardline Islamic group has defended Myatt and welcomed him with open arms.

Sheikh Omar Bakri, leader of the extremist Al Muhajiroun organisation, said: "When you become a Muslim you start afresh with a clean slate so it does not matter what views he held before.

"I am very keen to meet up with him as we both share a lot in common and I am sure he can help the Islamic cause."

Myatt was last night unavailable for comment, having moved from his Leigh Sinton home in Worcestershire some years ago.

Al Qaeda`s Neo-Nazi Connections

Jewish Press ^ | 2/25/2004 | William Grim

Posted on 03/02/2004 5:42:05 AM PST by SJackson

On the surface there would seem to be little to unite the Aryan racialists of the neo-Nazi movement with the terrorists of radical Islam. To the neo-Nazis, Muslims are almost all members of ``inferior`` races; and to the Islamic terrorists, the neo-Nazis are almost without exception either atheists or members of fringe quasi-Christian sects.

But the reality is that there has been close cooperation between Muslim extremists and Fascists ever since the founding of the Nazi movement in the 1920`s. For all of their differences, Muslim extremists and Nazis have always been united by a common group of beliefs and goals: hatred of Judaism (and conventional Christianity), hatred of democracy, and a desire for the destruction of Israel and the United States.

A little background is in order. -

Mufti Calls for Genocide of Jews

During a thousand sermons

Hajj Amin al-Husseini was the grand mufti of Jerusalem leading up to World War II. He supported the Nazis. He met with Adolph Hitler. He was a strong proponent of the Nazi program for mass murder of the Jews.

In fact, Arafat's hero became a German agent, and the British tried repeatedly to arrest him as a spy.

Perhaps the mufti's "greatest achievement" was the recruitment of tens of thousands of Muslims in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Albania to the German SS. His Arab legions later participated in the massacres of thousands of partisan Serbs, Jews and Gypsies.

On March 1, 1944, Arafat's hero was in Berlin making a dramatic radio broadcast: "Arabs! Rise as one and fight for your sacred rights. Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history and religion. This saves your honor."

The Nazi mufti visited numerous death camps and encouraged Hitler to extend the "Final Solution" to the Jews of North Africa and Palestine. In fact, his only condition for recruiting the Arab legions in the Balkans was a promise from Hitler to wipe out the Jews of the Middle East after the war.

In 1945, Yugoslavia sought to indict the mufti as a war criminal for his role in the massacres. He escaped from French detention in 1946. He then traveled to Egypt where he lived until 1974.

The grand mufti was not just Arafat's "hero," as he says. Arafat was, in fact, so close to al-Husseini that the young terrorist called him "uncle." Arafat's real name is Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa al-Husseini, though his actual blood relationship with al-Husseini is in question. His entire career was sponsored by the dreaded Nazi mufti. He was, indeed, Arafat's mentor, his inspiration for 40 years of terror, murder, hatred and international duplicity.

The world's people are too forgetful. This history is well-documented. Now Arafat, in his own words, has reminded us once again about the bloody ties between his movement and the Nazi monsters. He even reminds his own people of why the mufti was scandalized. He knows his own people have no ill feelings toward the Nazis. He knows his movement and the Nazis still share a common goal – the death of all Jews. He knows this history can't haunt him among his constituency.

But why do decent people, freedom-loving people

The Third Position

The rise of Al Qaeda and the explosion of neo-Nazi activity in Germany and elsewhere coincided with the breakup of the USSR in the early 1990`s and the political vacuum created by the absence of the former Soviet behemoth. Neo-Nazis in both Europe and the United States began making overtures to Islamic terrorists and even to Louis Farrakhan`s Nation of Islam movement. The resulting admixture of Nazi and Islamicist ideologies is something that is termed the ``Third Position.``

Simply put, adherents of the ``Third Position`` oppose both communism and capitalism, the latter category subsuming Israel, the United States and all other democratic countries which are believed to be under the control of ``International Jewry.`` To this end, the socialist portion of Nazi beliefs is emphasized (as opposed to Hitler`s reliance on corporatism), but the core belief in anti- Semitism is left unaltered. Like the original Nazis, the Third Positioners are eager to form alliances with Muslim (and black) extremists who share their anti-Semitic beliefs.

In Germany, the neo-Nazi leader Gottfried Kuessel has maintained close ties to Farrakhan`s Black Muslims, and Karl-Heinz Hoffmann, thought to have been involved in the murder of Jewish publisher Shlomo Levin as well as the Oktoberfest bombing of September 26, 1980, in which 13 persons were killed and over 200 injured, has long maintained ties with Arafat`s PLO and even moved his paramilitary training camp to Lebanon in 1980 with PLO assistance.

In France, the neo-Nazi leader Robert Faurisson maintains close ties with Ahmed Rami, the former broadcaster of the now- defunct Radio Islam, a viciously anti-Semitic station that operated out of Stockholm for a number of years. And for some time, Sweden`s neo-Nazis have provided skinheads for use as Rami`s bodyguards.

Much of the coordination of neo- Nazi/Muslim terrorist activities is done in the United States. Since overt Nazi activity is outlawed in Germany and many other European countries, neo-Nazis and Islamic extremists have taken advantage of America`s First Amendment protection of almost all political activity. In fact, the headquarters today of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterrpartei is in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Internet and electronic banking make communication and the transfer of funds instantaneous. Even when the transfer of funds needs to be done in person, American law permits every individual to enter or leave the country with $10,000 in cash or negotiable securities without reporting it.

The First Gulf War in 1991 was a catalyzing event in the development of neo- Nazi and Islamic terrorist relations. Early in 1991, the German neo-Nazi leader Michael Kuehnen contacted the Iraqi Embassy in Bonn and offered to train and equip a squadron of neo-Nazi mercenaries to assist Saddam in the coming war against the alliance led by the United States. Indeed, when Kuehnen was arrested for the last time by German police in April of 1991 (Kuehnen died shortly afterwards of AIDS), included among the documents found in his apartment was a copy of a draft treaty between the ``Anti-Zionist League`` and the ``Government of Iraq.``

Another German neo-Nazi leader, Heinz Reisz, appearing live on Hessian state television on January 25, 1991, gained a great deal of notoriety by proclaiming, ``Long live the fight for Saddam Hussein, long live his people, long live their leader, God save the Arab people.``

Although upwards of as many as 500 neo- Nazi mercenaries, formed into a so-called Freedom Corps, were sent to Iraq in 1991, their military effect was negligible at best. Eyewitness accounts say that most of the mercenaries did little other than parade around Baghdad in SS uniforms. The members of the ``Freedom Corps`` fled Iraq after the first night of Alliance bombing. Regardless of the ignominious military performance of the neo- Nazis in Iraq in 1991, this was an important event because it led to greater ties and cooperation among American right-wing extremists, European neo-Nazis and Islamic terrorists.

Oklahoma City

Domestic terrorism in the United States also rose greatly in the aftermath of the first Gulf War. Timothy McVeigh, himself a veteran of that conflict, stunned the world by his bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 in Oklahoma City. But the evidence suggests that the neo-Nazi/Islamic terrorist network played a significant role in this act of terrorism.

First, the choice of a terrorist target in Oklahoma is very telling. Although Oklahoma is a conservative southern state that has a reputation for patriotism and sends an unusually high percentage of its young people into the military, it is also one of the bastions of the neo-Nazi movement in the United States. In 1991, the Oklahoma Klan leader Dennis Mahon led a rally in support of Saddam Hussein in Tulsa. And Oklahoma is also home to Elohim City, a neo-Nazi paramilitary compound that has served as a training ground for right-wing extremists for the past thirty years. Groups associated with Elohim City have included The Order, Covenant Sword and Arm, White Aryan Resistance and the Aryan Republican Army. The latter group included Timothy McVeigh among its members.

Extremists residing at Elohim City received military-style training from a number of sources. One of the trainers there was Andreas Carl Strassmeir of Germany, a neo- Nazi and the son of Guenter Strassmeir, a chief aide of disgraced former German chancellor Helmut Kohl. The elder Strassmeir is widely regarded as the architect of Kohl`s reunification plan that merged the former East Germany with the Federal Republic in 1991.And Guenter`s father was one of the original members of the Nazi Party in the early 1920`s.

Andreas Strassmeir is important to this story because he not only became a close friend and confidant of Timothy McVeigh, but also because he is regarded by many investigators as John Doe #2, the unknown person assisting McVeigh and Terry Nichols at the scene of the Oklahoma City bombing who was seen by a number of eyewitnesses.

In addition to training various neo-Nazi and militia groups, Strassmeir was involved in a number of very curious activities. According to an FBI report dated May 10, 1995, ``Additional documents reveal that at one time Strassmeir was attempting to purchase a 747 aircraft from Lufthansa; however, the reason for the purchase is not reflected in the documents.``

In 1995 it would not have been unreasonable for an FBI investigator to give Strassmeir`s attempted purchase of a Boeing 747 mere passing notice. In light of 9/11, however, Strassmeir`s aborted airliner purchase gives one pause and raises the real possibility that 9/11 type attacks were being planned as far back as 1995 by insiders in the neo-Nazi/Islamic terrorist network. (And flying a privately owned jet or one operated by remote control would save the problem of hijacking airliners en route.) Strassmeir left the United States shortly after the bombing and currently resides in Berlin.

Mutual Enemies, Mutual Interests

The many points of contact between the neo-Nazis and the Islamic terrorists and their mutual targets of large public buildings demonstrate what I would like to term the ``Strangers on a Train`` scenario of current terrorist activity. In the Alfred Hitchcock movie of that name, two men unknown to each other meet on a train and start talking. Each needs to dispose of a person. They agree to kill each other`s intended victim, thereby eliminating the element of motive from the ensuing police investigations. In a similar manner, evidence of late tends to support the idea that Al Qaeda is farming out terrorist work -- which is why American investigators have been so interested in the remote area of South America where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay border each other.

It is there that wealthy German ex-Nazis, Islamic terrorists, Basque and IRA terrorists on the lam as well as narco-terrorists are known to be in steady contact. The possibilities for Mafia-style terrorist ``contracts`` are virtually unlimited.

It may come as something of a surprise to some when they realize just how well funded the various neo-Nazi organizations are. Authorities have known for years that a Swiss banker by the name of Francois Genoud has been funding neo-Nazi activities throughout the world. Genoud first gained prominence as the financial adviser to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He is alleged to have funded neo- Nazi activities through the use of confiscated Jewish funds that were deposited in Swiss banks by the Nazis. Genoud funded the legal defense of Eichmann during his trial in 1961. And most chilling of all, Genoud was closely associated with the Palestinian terrorists who murdered Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.

Another Swiss financier of neo-Nazi and Islamic terror is Ahmed Huber, (nee Albert Huber), a former journalist who converted to Islam. Swiss authorities raided Huber`s suburban home outside of Berne on November 8, 2001, when U.S. officials identified him as one of the chief financial operators for Al Qaeda. Huber had been very active with the Al Taqwa (literally ``Fear of God``) international banking group, an Islamic terrorist front organization that had been funding the activities of Hamas and other Muslim extremists. According to a report released by Germany`s Bundesamt fuer Verfassungsschutz (``Office for the Protection of the Constitution``), Huber ``sees himself as a mediator between Islam and right-wing groups.``

Huber and others of his ilk have found that Holocaust denial organizations provide the ideal venues for coordinating the efforts of the neo-Nazis and the Islamic terrorists. Indeed, Holocaust denial is the one area in which the beliefs of the neo-Nazis and Islamic terrorists coincide completely. And given the levels of post-9/11 security, international Holocaust denial conferences now have greater importance for planning and coordination among the neo-Nazi/Islamic terrorist networks.

This is due to the unfortunate fact that Holocaust denial organizations have the patina of scholarly respectability. Groups such as the Santa Barbara, California-based Institute for Historical Review produce glossy quasi- academic-style journals complete with footnotes and bibliography and well-designed and user-friendly websites. Holocaust denial groups sponsor international meetings that allow representatives of neo-Nazi and Islamic terrorist groups to meet because they narrowly fall within guidelines in most Western countries allowing for the free exchange of ``ideas.`` And with the current embrace of anti- Semitism by most leftist academics (in addition to their traditional anti-Americanism), there is now often very little difference between the symposia sponsored by officially recognized Middle Eastern Studies organizations in America and Europe and those organized by Holocaust denial groups.

While American forces continue to identify and destroy Al Qaeda`s ability to conduct terrorist activities on its own, we must become more vigilant to the increasing possibility of ``terror by hire`` as neo-Nazi and other right- wing extremists step up to fill the void.

The next 9/11-style terrorist attack may not be attempted by a keffiya-wearing Arab terrorist spouting quotations from the Koran, but by an IRA terrorist whose services were purchased by a left-wing European intellectual attending a Middle Eastern Studies caucus of some leftist academic group during an annual conference in Omaha or Chicago or San Francisco.

Wake Up And Smell the Anti-Semitism
By Jeffrey Dunetz, March 2002 Aish.com

I have an uncontrollable urge to run up all 102 floors of the Empire State building, shimmy my way up the TV antenna and start screaming, begging, pleading as loud as I can: "Wake up, world! The war in Israel is not just about land! It's also about hatred of the Jewish people!"

Most American Jews will probably think I'm paranoid, a person who finds a pogrom coming out of every closet. But if we look at the words and deeds of Islamic activists -- in the Mideast and beyond -- we see virulent ant-Semitic messages being distributed regularly to a broad audience.

A few hours of Internet research came up with hundreds of examples of Arab leaders and official press attacking Jews. They don't attack Israel on how it deals with Palestinian issues; this state-sponsored anti-Semitism drudges up ancient stereotyping and blood libel. And this rhetoric has expanded into Europe, the U.S., and the UN.

For starters, the Palestinian media has called for the killing of all Jews. In October 2000, after two Israeli solders were lynched in Ramallah, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya gave a sermon on official Palestinian Authority television:

Have no mercy on the Jews no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them - and those who stand by them... (translation by memri.org)

Doesn't sound like purely a land battle to me. Let's look at Israel's neighbors. During the Pope's trip to Syria last year, President Assad said,

They (the Jews) tied to kill the principles of all religions with the same mentality in which they betrayed Jesus Christ in the same way they tried to betray and kill the Prophet Muhammad. (ADL, October 2001)

Maybe the moderate Saudis are a little more reasonable? In December 2001, the Saudi government-controlled newspaper, Al-Watan, published a report entitled, "The Jewish organizations are implementing their strategic and hellish plan to take over the world":

The Jews act by means of the control of the media, politics and the economy in order to weaken the non-Jewish groups and bring about their disintegration." (translation by memri.org)

In the Saudi government daily Al-Riyadh, columnist Dr. Umayma Ahmad Al-Jalahma of King Faysal University in Al-Dammam, wrote last week (March 10, 2002) on "The Jewish Holiday of Purim." The following are excerpts of the article:

Special Ingredient For Jewish Holidays is Human Blood From Non-Jewish Youth:

For this holiday, the Jewish people must obtain human blood so that their clerics can prepare the holiday pastries. In other words, the practice cannot be carried out as required if human blood is not spilled!!

The Jews' spilling human blood to prepare pastry for their holidays is a well-established fact, historically and legally, all throughout history. This was one of the main reasons for the persecution and exile that were their lot in Europe and Asia at various times.

How the Jews Drain the Blood From Their Young Victims:

I would like to tell you how human blood is spilled so it can be used for their holiday pastries. The blood is spilled in a special way. How is it done? For this holiday, the victim must be a mature adolescent who is, of course, a non-Jew -- that is, a Christian or a Muslim. His blood is taken and dried into granules. The cleric blends these granules into the pastry dough; they can also be saved for the next holiday. In contrast, for the Passover slaughtering, about which I intend to write one of these days, the blood of Christian and Muslim children under the age of 10 must be used, and the cleric can mix the blood [into the dough] before or after dehydration. The Actions of the Jewish Vampires Cause Them Pleasure:

Let us now examine how the victims' blood is spilled. For this, a needle-studded barrel is used; this is a kind of barrel, about the size of the human body, with extremely sharp needles set in it on all sides. [These needles] pierce the victim's body, from the moment he is placed in the barrel.

These needles do the job, and the victim's blood drips from him very slowly. Thus, the victim suffers dreadful torment -- torment that affords the Jewish vampires great delight as they carefully monitor every detail of the blood-shedding with pleasure and love that are difficult to comprehend. (translation by memri.org)

Egypt, the first Arab country to make peace with Israel, recently ran a TV series called "Horseman Without a Horse," a 30-part series based on the anti-Semitic forgery, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

Sheikh Muhammed Abd Al Hadi La'afi, responsible for Religious Teaching and Instruction in the Office of the Wakf, wrote in the official P.A. newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (May 18, 2001):

The battle with the Jews will surely come... the decisive Muslim victory is coming without a doubt, and the prophet spoke about in more than one Hadith and the Day of resurrection will not come without the victory of the believers [the Muslims] over the descendents of the monkeys and pigs [the Jews] and with their annihilation.

These hate-filled teachings proliferate even in America. The Washington Post reported (March 2002) on Muslim elementary and high schools in the U.S.:

[One] 11th-grade textbook, for example, says one sign of the Day of Judgment will be that Muslims will fight and kill Jews, who will hide behind trees that say: 'Oh Muslim, Oh servant of God, here is a Jew hiding behind me. Come here and kill him.' Several students of different ages, all of whom asked not to be identified, said that in Islamic studies, they are taught that it is better to shun and even to dislike Christians, Jews and Shi'ite Muslims... [In addition,] maps of the Middle East hang on classroom walls, but Israel is missing.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Beyond the traditional anti-Semitic slurs, there is a new strategy that strikes at the heart of our Jewish heritage, seeking to deny our history. Remember the dismantling of Joseph's Tomb, the attack on Rachel's Tomb, and the ancient Jericho synagogue that was destroyed by the Palestinians? Their purpose was to turn Jewish history into a myth. The Mufti of Jerusalem has said of the Temple Mount:

"There is not the smallest indication of the existence of a Jewish temple on this place in the past." (Boston Globe, April 2001)

The Mufti's comments have been echoed by Arafat's cabinet, and much of the official press of the Arab world. In some sort of kow-tow, even The New York Times described the Temple Mount as what "Israel claims to have been the site of the first and second Temples." The Temple is mentioned in the Jewish Bible, the Christian Bible, the Koran, and every history book of the past 3,000 years. But it is now just a claim.

And let's not forget how, throughout the Arab world, the World Trade Center attack was reported as a Jewish-led conspiracy.

At a meeting in Damascus in October 2001 with a delegation from the British Royal College of Defense Studies, Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlass said the Mossad planned the ramming of two hijacked airliners into the WTC towers. He also told the British visitors that the Mossad had given thousands of Jewish employees at the towers advance warning not to go to work on September 11. (Jerusalem Post, October 19, 2001)

The slander took hold. Paknews.com, a sophisticated English-language news site based in Pakistan, found that 71 percent of its readers believed the report of a September 11 "Jewish conspiracy."

The Holocaust is another point to examine. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, lived in Berlin from 1941-45. He was in charge of supervising Axis propaganda to Muslims all over the world. When Jews fleeing Hitler's ovens were able to obtain emigration visas to Palestine, the Mufti was instrumental in getting those visa cancelled. He met several times with Hitler, and personally recruited 20,000 Muslims in Bosnia to serve in the Waffen SS. (See: http://notendur.centrum.is/~snorrigb/muftism.htm)

This tradition continues today. "Mein Kampf," previously banned by Israel, has been allowed by the PA and was sixth on the Palestinian best-seller list. A senior commander in Arafat's personal bodyguard is Fawzi Salem al-Mahdi (known as "Abu Hitler"), whose two sons bear the first names Hitler and Eichmann.

The official Arab mouthpieces are among the ranks of the most stubborn Holocaust deniers. And American neo-Nazi and white supremacist parties have found in Muslims a new audience to advance theories discredited in the west for more than 50 years.

BEYOND THE MIDDLE EAST
Anti-Jewish sentiments are spreading far beyond the Middle East. France has one of the largest Jewish communities in the world, and is also one of least hospitable to its Jewish residents. CRIF (an umbrella group of Jewish organizations in France) reported that between September 2000 and November 2001 there were 330 anti-Semitic incidents in metro Paris alone, nearly one per day. The study also reported that the perpetrators are primarily young Arab immigrants. (ADL, January 2002)

Britain's Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, has said that Jews of his country are suffering from the worst anti-Semitism since the Holocaust. The contributing factors of this anti-Semitism have been the rise in Islamic fundamentalists who use the Israeli-Arab conflict as an excuse to create open displays of anti-Semitism. (Simon Weisental Center, February 2002)

In December 2001, the largest neo-Nazi march since World War Two took place in Berlin.

At the world conference on Racism in Durban this past September, literature with hook-nosed Jewish caricatures were distributed inside while thousands of South African Muslims marched outside carrying banners saying that Hitler should have finished the job. (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, December 2001)

Copies of the libelous "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" are selling fast in Malaysia and Pakistan. "The Bulawayo Chronicle," which supports the government of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, recently published a 3,000-word article alleging Jewish responsibility for the ongoing economic problems facing the country.

America is not exempt, either. In the year 2000, 73 percent of all reported hate crimes on the basis of religion were against Jews, according to FBI figures.

The spreaders of hate have a strong ally in the press. Organizations such as the BBC, The New York Times and the once-proud CBS News, have subtly manipulated terminology and provided unbalanced reporting. When Israel suffers a terrorist attack and retaliates by targeting the terrorists, it is called the "cycle of violence" -- drawing a moral equivalency between civilians and terrorists, and dehumanizing civilian victims.

Let's not forget how the press uses the word "terrorist." If a military action is targeted toward civilians anywhere in world, it is "terrorism," but somehow when it targets Jewish civilians, it is "militancy," "activism," "freedom fighting," or as The New York Times prefers: "What Israel claims is a terrorist act."

CALL FOR ACTION
Make no mistake about it -- this is a war about much more than land. It is being waged by Islamic zealots who corrupt the name of religion to spread hate. The anti-Zionist rhetoric is just a front for deep anti-Semitism.

During an appearance at Harvard University, a student stood up and asked Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to address himself to the issue of Zionism. The question was clearly hostile. King responded, "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism." (San Francisco Chronicle, January 21, 2002)

We need to wake up before it's too late. Recognize what is going on and take action. Write your government; tell them to take action against anti-Semitism in your county. Take notice of what is being said in the media. Write letters about their inaccuracies and omissions -- not only in letters to the editor, but also to their advertisers. Sign up to http://www.honestreporting.com. Visit Israel or at least buy Israeli products; support the economy of our brethren who are on the front lines.

Prior to coming to power in Germany, Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf" which outlined many of his plans, including a discussion of the "Jewish Problem." His horrible goals were laid out in black and white. Despite the forewarning, most people had their heads in the sand and were surprised when Hitler followed through on his plans.

Seventy years ago, we did not take Hitler at his word. Will we take today's anti-Semites at their word?

...If, as a Christian Republic, we want to put an end to so-called terrorism on the soil of this nation we must expel ALL jews and non-whites from OUR Promised Land, this New JerUSAlem, call all of our armed forces from around the world back home, END our support of the TERRORIST State of Israeli, CLOSE our borders, all

http://www.aryan-nations.org/posse/mainpagenews/WTC.htm

Zionist controlled System which exists in all 'Western' countries....
In order to achieve our goal of creating a revolution and building a
National-Socialist State, two things must be done.
First, a revolutionary situation must be created by such things as direct action and sabotage. Second, the practical means to take advantage of such a breakdown, and any revolutionary situation, must be in place..... To bring about System breakdown, from now (Point Zero) will take at least five years of concerted direct action - more probably, ten to fifteen years. Those involved in direct action must accept that the struggle will be a long one - but provided it is calculatingly and ruthlessly done, it will be successful.....

''zionist collaborated with the nazis''
yeah and up is down.

The same as
Black afrö-americans cooperated with the KKK.

hahahahahahaaaa

This seems to be the new strategy of Zionazis - conflate Zionism with Judaism.

Zionism is not Judaism, Judaism is not Zionism.

Zionazis are getting increasingly desperate as the internet has exposed the racist and immoral designs of Zionism. Propaganda was so much easier when you got to filter information through the bottleneck of the mainstream media wasn't it?

Jewish Anti-Zionism takes many forms. From the Israeli Orthodox Jews of Neturei Karta...

"The name was given to a group of Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem who refused (and still refuse) to recognize the existence or authority of the so-called "State of Israel" and made (and still make) a point of publicly demonstrating their position, the position of the Torah and authentic unadulterated Judaism.

The group was founded in Jerusalem, Palestine in 1938, splitting off from Agudas Yisroel. Agudas Yisroel was established in 1912 for the purpose of fighting Zionism. Gradually lured by money and honor they sold out to the "Golden-Calf" (see Exodus, XXXII) of Zionism. Those who wanted to maintain their faith and continue the struggle against Zionism, dissociated themselves from Agudas Yisroel and associated parties."

http://www.nkusa.org/aboutus/index.cfm

To the American Jews of The American Council For Judaism...

"In an article, “The Myth of the New Anti-Semitism” (The Nation, Feb. 2, 2004) Brian Klug, associate professor of philosophy at St, Xavier University and U.S. consulting editor of Patterns of Prejudice, published by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research in London, states that, “To argue that hostility to Israel and hostility to Jews are one and the same thing is to conflate the Jewish state with the Jewish people. In fact, Israel is one thing, Jewry another. Accordingly, anti-Zionism is one thing, anti-Semitism another. They are separate.” "

http://acjna.org/about.asp (The American Council For Judaism)

I notice that you did not / could not argue the evidence of Zionist collaboration with the Nazis. That is because it is irrefutable fact. Instead you chose to change the focus to an attack on Islam. Oh, an attack on Islam, now there's something new! I was particularly impressed with the organisations you enlisted to help (via links) with this attack on Islam.

Free Republic - What is right of ultra right wing whackjobs? Free Republic.

Serbian Christians - yes that's right, the same ones who kept Croat Muslims in concentration camps and murdered them en masse less than a decade ago. You ally yourself with Nazis like that and then call Anti Zionists Nazis?

Another tactic you use to weasel your way out of being associated with Hitler (who directly collaborated with Zionazis) is to point out that some Palestinian leaders (at least one) wanted the Nazis to support them in their struggle against the British and the Zionist invaders the British had sponsored.

Well what is so surprising in that? Britain had double crossed them in two ways after gaining control over Palestine after WWI. First , it had said it would give Palestinians autonomy and then didn't. Second, not only did it reneg on that promise, it also facilitated the Zionist invasion of Palestine.

So if you were a Palestinian who would you support, the colonialist British who had thwarted your efforts for autonomy at every turn and helped Zionists invade your land, or the Nazis who had (according to the material you posted) professed admiration for Islam and had no obvious desire or strategic need to occupy your land? It's a no-brainer.

Now, what about these Zionists who collaborated with the Nazis? Is the Simon Weaselton Centre lobbying for them to be extradited to face charges?

zioshmazizioshmazizioshmazizioshmazizioshmazizioziozioz

As you see above – racist name calling,
repetitive Spam, Lies, distortions and media manipulation, is our fascist Anti-Zionist weapon against the Jewish people.
When we racist Anti-zionists find ourselves without any New argument we either get into repetetive mantra antizionismisnotantisemitismantizionismisnotantisemitismantizionismisnotantisemitismziozioziozioziozio or hysteria like spoiled children.

I am fully familiar with the fact that we Anti-Zionists do not like Jews, and we manage to be pretty vocal about it. We have to remember that hatred is fundamental to Anti-Zionist thought.
First we hated the European Jews, then it was the Assimilated Jews, then the Israeli Jews and now Arabs.
LOL
We anti-zionists need to hate, but more than anything else we need to be hated.
It is very possible that we hate Jews just because hate is the name of our game.
Talking about 'hate', I am pretty sure that the most vicious weapon against Anti-Zionists is just to love us with all your heart.
It isn't easy at all, but it works.

We have seen many incoherent arguments at Indymedias but you are a stand out winner in the 'incomprehensible nonsense' category.

Just once, can you NOT spam the wire with jibberish and answer a simple question?

Were Zionists right or wrong to collaborate with Nazis in getting Jews to go to Palestine? (we both know they did it, the question is whether it was right or wrong) A simple yes or no, can you do it?

thank u troll above
u pointed out ur racist ideology (antizionism) more than i ever could
We make it clear that we are of the party that believes in the Jewish conspiracy that tries to control the nations.
This is the propaganda the Nazis used.

<<Were Zionists right or wrong to collaborate with Nazis in getting Jews to go to Palestine? <<

the same "truth" as Black afro-americans collaborate with KKK in getting black slaves to go to Afrikka

We are mad !!! bwaaaaahahahaha

You hypocrites support undocumented Mexicans, who rightfully own all of the Southwest United States, and possibly much of the rest, but you have a problem with undocumented Jews who also had their land taken from them long ago?

Why can't you see that Jews have the same right to reclaim Palestine that Mexicans have to reclaim California?

Jews are simply righting an historic wrong, much as the Mexicans are righting a wrong, by expelling the Palestinian invaders. Palestinians, like Anglo-Americans, were colonialists who oppressed the natives, and they deserve to lose their land just as much as Anglo-Americans deserve to be driven out of rightful Mexican territory.

There is no such thing as an "illegal" human being, and that includes West bank settlers. If Mexicans have the right to take back their land from the oppressors, so do the Jews.

Of course, the racists at indymedia would probably call Jewish settlers "illegal immigrants" just like the toothless, ignorant, inbred, banjo-picking, racist, nazi white-trash that stole the Mexicans' land and continues to squat on it. No white-bred Californian has a right to complain about Israel until he goes back to his cave-man homeland in the backwater otherwise known as Europe.

The Mexican and the Jewish struggle are one and the same.
Down with antizionist racist, nazi, genetic garbage!

Jews have absolutely NO CLAIM on Palestine.

We have proven this point over and over but you psychotic zionists don't/can't listen.

You're all fucked in the head.

Zionism

by

Donald Dinelli

In the Beginning

Zionism is a movement started, partly in response to Russion pogroms, by a number of European Jews in the 1890's. At the first Zionist conference which was convened in 1897 in Basel, Switzerland, and lead by Theodor Herzl, a tenacious, Austrian Jew, the 197 Jewish delegates passed the following resolution: "Zionism seeks to secure a publically recognized, legally secured home in Palestine for the Jewish people."1 These Jews formed an organization called the World Zionist Organization, later just called the Jewish Agency or Jewish Committee. By 1914 the Zionists had 127,000 dues paying members world-wide.2 Today, you can find a chapter of the Jewish Agency in every Jewish community throughout the world.

Without delay the Zionists set out to implement their mission of removing Palestinians from the land. They set up "the Fund" or "the Jewish National Fund" to buy land from under the Palestinians' noses and deposited it in a trust which allowed only Jews to use or rent it. Most Palestinians at this time were peasants working the land of rich, absentee, Arab landlords. Theodor Herzl avowed: "We shall try to spirit the penniless (Palestinian) population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in Palestine ... Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly," 3 From the beginning of Zionism this was the essence of Zionist policy: use Jewish money, collected from throughout the world, to run the Palestinians out of Palestine by buying their land and/or their jobs. If that didn't work the Zionists would use the money to terrorize the Palestinians into fleeing or kill them.

Out of a population of 1,000,000 people in 1897 Palestine, only 5% - 50,000 - were Jewish. Those few Jews reacted negatively to Zionism. They neither saw the need for a Jewish state in Palestine, not did they want to exacerbate relations with the Palestinian Arabs. At this time in the Holy Land, religions lived together in relative harmony - a harmony only disrupted when the Zionists began to claim that Palestine was the 'rightful' possession of the 'Jewish people' to the exclusion of its Muslim and Christian inhabitants.

In 1919 Ben-Gurion, who later would become the first prime minister of Israel, saw that the Zionists were creating a problem with no just solution. "No solution! There is a gulf, and nothing can fill this guilt ... I do not know what Arab will agree that Palestine should belong to the Jews. ..We, as a nation, want this country to be ours; the Arabs, as a nation, want this country to be theirs." Later, during the Arab revolt of 1937 against this takeover, Ben-Gurion continued: "This is an active resistance by the Palestinians to what they regard as a usurpation of their homeland by the Jews ... But the fighting is only one aspect of the conflict, which is in its essence a political one. And politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves." 4 He proceeded to strengthen the Jewish terrorists organizations like the Irgun with more guns and explosives so that they could, with bullets when necessary, force the Arabs into relinquishing their ownership of Palestine.

In 1938, he was most explicit on what the land the Zionist intend to conquer and make part of "Greater Israel." "The boundaries of Zionist aspiration," he told the World Council of Poale Zion is Tel aviv, "include southern Lebanon, southern Syria, today's Jordan, all of Cis-Jordan (West Bank) and the Sinai."5

Later he continued, "After we become a strong force as the result of the creation of the state, we shall abolish partition (the UN's partition which created Israel and left some of Palestine) and expand (Israel) to the whole of Palestine. The state will only be a stage in the realization of Zionism and its task is to prepare the ground for our expansion. The state will have to preserve order - not by preaching but with machine guns."6 As to the Palestine inhabitants who are in the way of all this expansion, his answer was always, "Drive them out."7

Zionists are terrorists. Their movement is a terrorist movement continuing today. Israel practices state terrorism as it implements these Zionist plans.

Israeli Zionism Now

No one can understand the Palestinian vs Israeli conflict today, if they do not understand Zionism - it's history, policy, and methods. The policy which the state of Israel is executing today is nothing more than a continuation of Zionist policy begun in 1897. Listen:

* "We cannot make peace with the Palestinians until we reduce the Population of the West Bank by 50 percent." says Labor's Dr. Ephraim Sneh, a minister in Sharon's Cabinet. (August 2002).
* Approximately 80,000 Palestinians have left the West bank and Gaza Strip since the beginning of the year (August 2002), a rise of 50% compared to last year, says a senior Palestinian authority official. Today, there are over 4,000,000 Palestinian refugees - Palestinians Israeli Zionists drove out of Palestine one way or another during the past one hundred years.
* According to a U.S. government report in 2002, 70% of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are now living below the poverty line; unemployment has risen to 50% while there are a minimum of 300,000 non-Palestinian foreign workers in Israel. (Unemployment rose to 80% in 2003.) Israel will not let Palestinians leave the occupied territory and go to work in Egypt, where many of them have jobs, or Israel where they had jobs.
* In a 21 month period in 2002 Israel has murdered over 1,450 Palestinians, 240 of them children. Over 23,000 Palestinians have been injured.
* By now 90% of the land in Israel proper is held under: "restrictive land covenants" barring non-Jews, even those with Israeli citizenship from owning the land or from earning a living on it. Yet, according to Israeli law, a Jew from anywhere in the world can come to Israel and automatically be a citizen with the right to own land.
* Israeli Prime Ministers, repeatedly acting against international law, have encouraged more and more Jews to establish illegal settlements in Palestine. Today, while these settlers take up 1.7% of the West Bank, they control 41.9% of the land in the West Bank through a system of Jewish local and regional councils Zionist Israel has set up in Palestine.
* Israel's Labor Party platform in 1984 had the "Four No's" in it: 1) No to a Palestinian state, 2) No negotiation with the P.L.O., 3) No return to the 1967 borders, and 4) No removal of any settlements.
* And now the Israeli Zionists are building an apartheid wall over 240 miles long, 20 feet high, topped with barbed wire, with guard towers every so often to keep the Arab left in Palestine locked in. In America we would call these prison like reservations; in South Africa, Bantustans.

The objective of present day Zionist Israeli policy is an intensified version of Jewish Zionist policy used by Theodor Herzl and Ben-Gurion: get rid of the Palestinians from Palestine; their methods are also the same: persecute the Palestinians so they flee, take their land, starve them through unemployment, tear up the territorial integrity of Palestine with Jewish settlements, murder them, and keep the other Middle Eastern nations dysfunctional. This is a state policy of ethnic cleansing - of slow genocide - which ends up establishing Israel as an apartheid state. Zionists have been slowly, patiently, and successfully working at this for over 100 years. Sometimes they have had to take a step back to take two forward but they have never lost their focus. Most want to establish "Greater Israel". By that they mean all of Palestine - PLUS. Many times you will hear Israeli settlers, the Likud party, or other Zionists talk about "Greater Israel". Zionists speak of the occupation of Greater Israel as a right, given to them by God.

Ben-Gurion from the beginning knew that the Jewish Zionists were the aggressors and did not care. He cared only to take the land at any cost - he used diplomacy when it succeeded and the Haganan (a Zionist terrorist group) when it did not. Justice was not and is not a concern. Sharon is no different today. He is known as the "butcher of Sabra and Shatila" for a reason.8

Israel

In 1947 the Zionists got Washington to affirm their creeping takeover of Palestine. They won over President Truman, and then with his help the United Nations.

The British who were in charge of Palestine for fifty years thought it impossible to peacefully create two separate nations out of this little piece of land. They recommended to Washington and the world: one federal nation with two states. 9 But Truman, a sort of biblical Zionist himself, running for re-election in a close race that needed the Jewish vote, took the Zionist position and said in 1946 that he wanted two separate nations: Israel and Palestine. 10 In 1946, after WWII, the U.S. was more powerful than Britain.

Jewish lobbying in this country had focused on Truman and succeeded. The Jewish Agency in 1946 raised $100 million annually - money they used to pressure the President and the U.S. Congress. By then American Jews had created a mammoth lobbying machine in Washington that when activated could within days flood Congress with letters, petitions, and campaign finance donations.11

In 1947 there were 1,300,000 Arabs in Palestine along with 560,000 Jews. Over the years Zionists encouraged and financed Jewish immigration to Palestine as they continue to do today. The Nazi's brutal policies of the 1940's, (World War II) also encouraged it.

The 1947 vote in the UN to create Israel out of Palestinian land was 33 countries for, 13 against, and 10 abstentions.12 Not one Arab or predominately Muslim country voted yes. War was inevitable. And the nations of the UN knew it. The United Nations had made a terrible mistake.

This Palestinian, Arab-Jewish war, in one form or another, has gone on from 1897 until today. The Palestinian intifada and suicide bombers, along with Zionist Israel's tanks and Apache helicopters are just a continuation of it.

Today, American, Zionist Jews continue their lobbying effort by bribing Congress and the President with "campaign donations" and with a strong influence and presence in the American media to force American support for Zionist Israel and its policy of Palestinian annihilation. These American Zionists have hung Israel like an albatross around America's neck. And because they have put Israel first over American interests are bordering on being traitors to America.

Without America's support, financial and diplomatic, Zionism could not succeed. The rest of the world, especially the Arabs, know this and are today holding America and Americans accountable. The many attacks on American interests, including that of September 11th, are manifestations of it.

The Cost of Israel to the American People
by by Richard Curtiss • Friday, Jul. 29, 2005 at 5:57 PM

By now many Americans are aware that Israel, with a population of only 5.8 million people, is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid, and that Israel’s aid plus U.S. aid to Egypt’s 65 million people for keeping the peace with Israel has, for many years, consumed more than half of the U.S. bi-lateral foreign aid budget world-wide.

The Cost of Israel to the American People

by Richard Curtiss

By now many Americans are aware that Israel, with a population of only 5.8 million people, is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid, and that Israel’s aid plus U.S. aid to Egypt’s 65 million people for keeping the peace with Israel has, for many years, consumed more than half of the U.S. bi-lateral foreign aid budget world-wide.

What few Americans understand however, is the steep price they pay in many other fields for the U.S.-Israeli relationship, which in turn is a product of the influence of Israel’s powerful U.S. lobby on American domestic politics and has nothing to do with U.S. strategic interests, U.S. national interests, or even with traditional American support for self-determination, human rights, and fair play overseas.

Besides its financial cost, unwavering U.S. support for Israel, whether it’s right or wrong, exacts a huge price in American prestige and credibility overseas. Further, Israel’s powerful U.S. lobby has been a major factor in delaying campaign finance reform, and also in the removal from American political life of some of our most distinguished public servants, members of Congress and even presidents.

Finally, the Israel-U.S. relationship has cost a significant number of American lives. The incidents in which hundreds of U.S. service personnel, diplomats, and civilians have been killed in the Middle East have been reported in the media. But the media seldom revisits these events, and scrupulously avoids analyzing why they occurred or compiling the cumulative toll of American deaths resulting from our Israel-centered Middle East policies.

Each of these four categories of the costs of Israel to the American people merits a talk of its own. What follows, therefore, is just an overview of such losses.

First is the financial cost of Israel to U.S. taxpayers. Between 1949 and 1998, the U.S. gave to Israel, with a self-declared population of 5.8 million people, more foreign aid than it gave to all of the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, all of the countries of Latin America, and all of the countries of the Caribbean combined – with a total population of 1,054,000,000 people.

In the 1997 fiscal year, for example, Israel received $3 billion from the foreign aid budget, at least $525 million from other U.S. budgets, and $2 billion in federal loan guarantees. So the 1997 total of U.S. grants and loan guarantees to Israel was $5.5 billion. That’s $15,068,493 per day, 365 days a year.

If you add its foreign aid grants and loans, plus the approximate totals of grants to Israel from other parts of the U.S. federal budget, Israel has received since 1949 a grand total of $84.8 billion, excluding the $10 billion in U.S. government loan guarantees it has drawn to date.

And if you calculate what the U.S. has had to pay in interest to borrow this money to give to Israel, the cost of Israel to U.S. taxpayers rises to $134.8 billion, not adjusted for inflation.

Put another way, the nearly $14,630 every one of 5.8 million Israelis had received from the U.S. government by October 31, 1997, cost American taxpayers $23,241 per Israeli. That’s $116,205 for every Israeli family of five.

None of these figures include the private donations by Americans to Israeli charities, which initially constituted about one quarter of Israel’s budget, and today approach $1 billion annually. In addition to the negative effect of these donations on the U.S. balance of payments, the donors also deduct them from their U.S. income taxes, creating another large drain on the U.S. treasury.

Nor do the figures above include any of the indirect financial costs of Israel to the United States, which cannot be tallied. One example is the cost to U.S. manufacturers of the Arab boycott, surely in the billions of dollars by now. Another example is the cost to U.S. consumers of the price of petroleum, which surged to such heights that it set off a world-wide recession during the Arab oil boycott imposed in reaction to U.S. support of Israel in the 1973 war.

Other examples are a portion of the costs of maintaining large U.S. Sixth Fleet naval forces in the Mediterranean, primarily to protect Israel, and military air units at the Aviano base in Italy, not to mention the staggering costs of frequent deployments to the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf area of land and air forces from the United States and naval units from the Seventh Fleet, which normally operates in the Pacific Ocean.

Many years ago the late Undersecretary of State George Ball estimated the true financial cost of Israel to the United States at $11 billion a year. Since then direct U.S. foreign aid to Israel has nearly doubled, and simply adjusting that original figure into 1998 dollars would send it considerably higher today.

Next comes the cost of Israel to the international prestige and credibility of the United States. Americans seem constantly astounded at our foreign policy failures in the Middle East. This stems from a profound ignorance of the background of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, which in turn results from a reluctance by the mainstream U.S. media to present these facts objectively.

Toward the end of the 19th century when political Zionism was created in Europe, Jews were a tiny fraction of the population of the Holy Land, much of which was heavily cultivated and thickly populated, and certainly not a desert waiting to be reclaimed by outsiders.

Even in 1947, after half a century of Zionist immigration and an influx of Jewish refugees from Hitler, Jews still constituted only one third of the population of the British Mandate of Palestine. Only seven percent of the land was Jewish-owned. Yet when the United Nations partitioned Palestine in that year, the Jewish state-to-be received 53 percent and the Arab state-to-be received only 47 percent of the land. Jerusalem was to remain separate under international supervision, a "corpus seperatum" in the words of the United Nations.

One of the myths that many Americans still believe is that the initial war between the Arabs and Israelis broke out on May 15, 1948 when the British withdrew and military units from Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and Syria entered Palestine, allegedly because the Arabs had rejected a partition plan that the Israelis accepted.

In fact, the fighting began almost six months earlier, immediately after the partition plan was announced. By the time the Arab armies intervened in May, some 400,000 Palestinians already had fled or been driven from their homes. To the Arab nations the military forces they sent to Palestine were on a rescue mission to halt the dispossession of Palestinians from the areas the U.N. had awarded to both the Jewish and the Palestinian Arab state. In fact history has revealed that the Jordanian forces had orders not to venture into areas the U.N. had awarded to Israel.

Although the newly created Israeli government didn’t formally reject the partition plan, in practice it never accepted the plan. To this day, half a century later, Israel still refuses to define its borders.

In fact, when the fighting of 1947 and 1948 ended, the State of Israel occupied half of Jerusalem and 78 percent of the former mandate of Palestine. About 750,000 Muslim and Christian Palestinians had been driven from towns, villages and homes to which the Israeli forces never allowed them to return.

The four wars that followed, three of them started by Israel in 1956, 1967, and 1982, and one of them started by Egypt and Syria to recover their occupied lands in 1973, have been over the portions of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt which the Israelis occupied militarily in those wars, the other half of Jerusalem, and the 22 percent of Palestine – comprising the West Bank and Gaza – which is all that remains for the Palestinians.

It is the unwillingness of successive U.S. governments to acknowledge these historical facts, and adjust U.S. Middle East policies to right these wrongs, that has resulted in such a devastating loss of international credibility. Americans, who once were identified with the modern schools, universities and hospitals they had established throughout the Middle East starting more than 150 years ago, now are identified with U.S. misuse of its veto in the United Nations to condone Israeli violations of the human rights of the Palestinians living in the lands Israel has seized by force. The Israeli occupation violates the preface to the United Nations Charter banning the acquisition of territory by war. What the Israeli government has been doing in the occupied territories also violates the Fourth Geneva convention, which forbids the transfer of populations to or from such areas.

Governments of Middle Eastern countries which once looked to the United States as their protectors from European colonialism, now find it very difficult to justify maintaining cordial relations with the United States at all. Friendly Arab governments are jeopardized by their U.S. alliances, and the fall of one, the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq, was directly attributable to its premature withdrawal of its armed forces from Palestine during the 1948 fighting, and its subsequent membership in a military alliance with the U.S. and Britain.

Even our European and Asian allies have joined in deploring the perpetual American tilt toward Israel. In a recent vote on a U.N. General Assembly resolution calling upon Israel to curb further encroachments on Palestinian lands by Jewish settlers, only the United States and Micronesia voted with Israel. Of the 185 U.N. member nations, all of the others, without exception, voted against Israel or abstained.

Yet Americans seem oblivious to such examples of how their Israel-centered Middle East policies are isolating the United States in the world.

Next is the cost of Israel to the American domestic political system. In December 1997, Fortune magazine asked professional lobbyists to select the most powerful special interest group in the United States. They chose the American Association of Retired Persons, which lobbies on behalf of all Americans over 60.

In second place, however, was the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Israel’s official Washington, D.C. lobby, with a $15 million budget – the sources of which AIPAC refuses to disclose – and 150 employees. AIPAC, in turn, can draw upon the resources of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, a roof group set up to coordinate the efforts on behalf of Israel of some 52 national Jewish organizations.

Among those organizations are groups such as B’nai B’rith's Anti-Defamation League (ADL), with a $45 million budget, and Hadassah, the Zionist women’s group, which spends more than AIPAC and sends thousands of Americans every year to Israel on Israeli government-supervised visits.

Both AIPAC and the ADL maintain secret "opposition research" departments which compile files on politicians, journalists, academics and organizations, and circulate this information through local Jewish community councils to pro-Israel groups and activists in order to damage the reputations of those who dare to speak out and thus have been blackballed as "enemies of Israel." In the case of ADL, police raids on the organization’s Los Angeles and San Francisco offices established that much of the information they had compiled was erroneous, and thus slanderous, and some also was illegally obtained.

In the case of AIPAC, this is not the organization’s most controversial activity. In the 1970s members of AIPAC’s national board of directors set out to form deceptively named local political action committees (PACs) which could coordinate their efforts in supporting candidates in federal elections. To date, at least 126 pro-Israel PACs have been registered, and no fewer than 50 PACs, like AIPAC, can give a candidate who is facing a tough opponent and who has voted according to AIPAC recommendations up to half a million dollars. That’s enough money to buy all the television time needed to get elected in most parts of the country.

What is totally unique about AIPAC’s network of political action committees is that they all have deceptive names. Who could possibly know that the Delaware Valley PAC in Philadelphia, San Franciscans for Good Government in California, Cactus PAC in Arizona, Chili PAC in New Mexico, Beaver PAC in Wisconsin and even Ice PAC in New York are really pro-Israel PACs. So just as no other special interest can put so much hard money into any candidate’s election campaign as can the Israel lobby, no other special interest has gone to such elaborate lengths to hide its tracks.

Some of America’s wisest and most distinguished public servants have been kept from higher office by the blackballing of the Israel lobby. One such leader was George Ball, who served the Kennedy administration as Under Secretary of State and the Johnson administration as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Given his unmatched brilliance in forecasting international developments, there is no doubt that he would have become secretary of state had he not publicly expressed the skepticism about the U.S. relationship with Israel which most Americans involved in foreign affairs privately feel.

In membership meetings which journalists are not allowed to attend, AIPAC presidents have boasted that the organization was responsible for the defeats of two of history’s most distinguished chairmen of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee – Democrat J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and Republican Charles Percy of Illinois. The list of other senators and House members for whose election defeats AIPAC takes credit is too long to recount.

There is good evidence also that had it not been for complex maneuvers by the Israel lobby, including encouragement of third party candidates and unrelenting partisanship by pro-Israeli syndicated columnists and other media figures, Democratic President Jimmy Carter probably would have been reelected in 1980, and Republican President George Bush almost certainly would have been reelected in 1992.

The cost to our political system of losing national figures who refused to allow U.S. domestic political interests to dictate U.S. foreign policy has been enormous. So long as AIPAC and other powerful lobbies continue to thwart meaningful efforts on behalf of campaign finance reform, Americans will continue unknowingly paying such costs.

Finally, there is the cost of Israel in American lives. References to the attack by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats on the USS Liberty in which 34 Americans were killed and 171 wounded on the fourth day of the Six-Day War of June 1967 often are met by disbelief. Very few Americans seem to have heard of the attack on the ship operated by the U.S. Navy for the National Security Agency to monitor Israel and Arab military communications during the fighting.

The Israeli government claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. The members of the crew and other naval officers who were stationed in the Mediterranean and in Washington at the time state that it was a deliberate attempt to sink the ship and blame Egyptian forces for the disaster. It is the only such event in U.S. Naval history the cause of which has never been formally investigated either by Congress or by the Navy itself.

Major losses of American lives at the hands of Arab forces opposing Israel are better known. These include the loss of 141 U.S. service personnel in the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1984. They also include the loss of xx U.S. diplomats and xxx local employees of the U.S. government in two bombings of the American Embassy in Beirut. Other such events include the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, the taking of U.S. hostages in Beirut of whom three were killed, the deaths of Americans in a series of Middle East related skyjackings, the deaths of 19 U.S. service personnel in the bombing of the Al Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, and the 1997 assassination of four U.S. accountants wor

working for an American company in Karachi.

All of these incidents, and many more in which Americans have died, resulted directly from one-sided U.S. support for Israel in its refusal to participate in the land-for-peace settlement with the Palestinians and its other Arab neighbors envisioned in U.N. Security Council Resolution 242. The U.S. has given lip service to that resolution since November, 1967. But in practice the U.S. has done nothing to force Israel to comply, even though the resolution has been accepted by the members of the League of Arab States. That U.S. hypocrisy fuels rage and frustration throughout the Middle East and South Asia which will continue to take a toll of American lives until Israel finally gives back the lands it occupied in 1967, or the U.S. stops subsidizing Israeli intransigence.

Claims that there are positive aspects of the U.S.-Israeli relationship seldom stand up to scrutiny. During the Reagan administration it was labeled for the first time a "strategic relationship" conferring benefits on the U.S. as well as on Israel. The idea that Israel – smaller in both area and population than Hong Kong – can offer the United States benefits sufficient to offset the hostility that relationship arouses among 250 million Arabs living in a 4,000-mile strategic swath of territory stretching from Morocco to Oman is ludicrous. It becomes even more ludicrous when one realizes that the relationship also has alienated another 750 million Muslims who, together with the Arabs, control more than 60 percent of the world’s proven oil and gas reserves.

Apologists for Israel also describe the U.S.-Israeli cooperation in weapons development. The fact is that the one or two successful joint weapons programs have been largely U.S. financed, while for their part the Israelis have repeatedly sold to rogue nations U.S. weapons turned over at no cost to Israel.

It is a sad but proven fact that the Israeli government also has obtained secret U.S. military technology which Israel has sold to other countries. For example, after the U.S. sent Patriot missile defense batteries on an emergency basis to help defend Israel during the Gulf War, the Israelis seem to have sold the Patriot missile technology to China, according to the U.S. State Department’s inspector general. As a result, the U.S. has been forced to develop a whole new generation of missile technology able to penetrate the defenses China has developed as a result of the Israeli treachery.

Perhaps the most hypocritical rationalization offered by friends of Israel is that U.S. special treatment is justified because Israel is "the Middle East’s only working democracy" and that Israel and the U.S. have many basic institutions in common. In fact, Israeli democracy does not work for non-Jews. In contrast to the United States, where by law all citizens have equal rights regardless of religion or ethnic origin, Muslim and Christian citizens of Israel do not have equal rights with regards to military service, the extensive social benefits available to veterans of Israeli military service, or even in terms of Israeli tax rates imposed on Arab citizens and Israeli government expenditures in Arab communities within Israel.

Further, Israeli citizenship is not available to the Muslim and Christian Palestinians driven from their homes in Israel in 1948, nor to their descendants. But a Jew, born anywhere in the world, can have Israeli citizenship for the asking.

Perhaps most shocking is the little-known fact that by now 90 percent of the land in Israel proper is held under restrictive covenants barring non-Jews, even those with Israeli citizenship, from owning the land or from earning a living on it. Unfortunately, the land held under such covenants is increasing, not decreasing. It would be difficult, therefore, to find two countries more profoundly different in their approaches to basic questions of citizenship and civil and human rights as are the United States and Israel.

Pssst...you need to look a a map...Locate Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Jordan and Iraq.
Put on your thinking cap (take of your alluminum foil deflector beanie)

During World War II, Henry Luce, the publisher of Time and Life magazines, coined the term “The American Century” to refer to the twentieth century. And in the years since then the term has been used many times. In the decades since the end of World War II, the United States has indeed been the world’s foremost military, economic and financial power, and the most important cultural factor.

But that title is not the only one that’s been given to that century. A few months ago Princeton University Press issued a remarkable book by a Jewish scholar, Yuri Slezkine, that explains why the Twentieth Century is, or has been, the century of preeminent Jewish influence and power. In fact, the book is entitled The Jewish Century.

In that spirit, the prominent French Jewish writer Alain Finkielkraut was moved to write in 1998, in an essay published in the prestigious Paris daily Le Monde: “Ah, how sweet it is to be Jewish at the end of this 20th century! We are no longer History’s accused, but its darlings. The spirit of the times loves, honors, and defends us, watches over our interests; it even needs our imprimatur. Journalists draw up ruthless indictments against all that Europe still has in the way of Nazi collaborators or those nostalgic for the Nazi era. Churches repent, states do penance...” / 1

But that was then, and this is now. There are good reasons to believe that both American power and Jewish power have crested. The twentieth century – what has been called “the American Century” and “the Jewish century” – is passing, both literally and figuratively, into history.

Although the US is still the world’s most important military and economic factor, its relative military and economic power in the world has been declining over the past 20-30 years, and will continue to decline in the years ahead. In the Middle East, Israel is still the foremost military power in the region. It is the only state in the area with a nuclear arsenal, for example. All the same, Israel's stature in the world, and – more generally – Jewish-Zionist power, are declining from the high point of the 1980s and 1990s.

Tony Judt, another Jewish writer, put it well in an essay published last year in The Nation. He wrote: / 2

"Following the invasion of Lebanon, and with gathering intensity since the first intifada of the late 1980s, the public impression of Israel has steadily darkened. Today it presents a ghastly image: a place where sneering 18-year-olds with M-16s taunt helpless old men ("security measures"); where bulldozers regularly flatten whole apartment blocks ("rooting out terrorists"); where helicopters fire rockets into residential streets ("targeted killings"); where subsidized settlers frolic in grass-fringed swimming pools, oblivious of Arab children a few meters away who fester and rot in the worst slums on the planet; and where retired generals and Cabinet ministers speak openly of bottling up the Palestinians "like drugged roaches in a bottle" (former Israeli Chief of Staff Rafael Eytan) and cleansing the land of its Arab cancer (former Housing Minister Effi Eitam).

" Israel is utterly dependent on the United States for money, arms and diplomatic support. One or two states share common enemies with Israel; a handful of countries buy its weapons; a few others are its de facto accomplices in ignoring international treaties and secretly manufacturing nuclear weapons. But outside Washington, Israel has no friends -- at the United Nations it cannot even count on the support of America's staunchest allies. Despite the political and diplomatic incompetence of the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization]... ; despite the manifest shortcomings of the Arab world at large... ; despite Israel's own sophisticated efforts to publicize its case, the Jewish state today is widely regarded as a -- the -- leading threat to world peace. After thirty-seven years of military occupation, Israel has gained nothing in security. It has lost everything in domestic civility and international respectability, and it has forfeited the moral high ground forever."

What is emerging is a new bi-polar world, with the United States and Israel on one side, and the rest of the world on the other. This new alignment of forces, this shift in power relationships in the world, is strikingly reflected in the United Nations, where, time and time again, votes on issues in both the General Assembly and the Security Council pit the United States and Israel on one side, and virtually the entire rest of the world on the other.

On October 21, 2003, for example, there was a vote in the UN General Assembly on a resolution condemning Israel’s so-called “security barrier,” a grotesque thing, parts of it larger and more formidable than the Berlin Wall, that Israel has built on occupied Palestinian territory. Supporting the resolution were 144 countries, representing nearly the entire world’s population. Twelve countries abstained. Just four countries opposed the resolution. They were: Israel, the United States, the Marshall Islands and Micronesia. The latter two member states, small island countries in the Pacific ocean with a combined population of 180,000, are utterly dependent on the US. And on December 9, 2003, the members of the UN General Assembly considered a resolution re-affirming the principle of Palestinian sovereignty. It received the backing of 142 states, including all the nations of Europe and South America. In this case as well, just four countries voted against the resolution: Israel, the US, the Marshall Islands and Micronesia.

This reminds me of a story. A senior citizen whose brain didn’t work as well or as quickly as it once did, was driving on the freeway when his cell phone rang. He answered it, and heard his wife urgently warning him, “Charles, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the freeway. Please be careful!" Charles immediately replied: “Honey, it's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

Well, like Charles, President Bush and Israeli premier Aerial Sharon insist that everyone else is recklessly going the wrong way. And as the United States and Israel increasingly regard the rest of the world as "out of step," most of humanity views the US and Israel with mounting distrust, hostility and fear.

United States support for Israel did not come about because Americans are markedly more intelligent, humane or enlightened than, say, Norwegians, Japanese or Irish. No, the US-Israel alliance is, rather, a consequence, a result, of the Jewish-Zionist grip on American political and cultural life. Awareness of this fact is growing everyone. And along with that, ever more people understand the crucial factor behind the US invasion of Iraq was concern for Israel and its interests.

Jewish-Zionist plans to overthrow the Iraqi regime by force were already in place well before George W. Bush became president. A group – a cabal -- of high-level, pro-Israel "neoconservative" Jews in the Bush administration -- including Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense; Richard Perle of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board; David Wurmser in the State Department; and Douglas Feith, the Pentagon’s Undersecretary for Policy – played a decisive role in prodding the United States into war in Iraq. / 3

This is so widely understood by Washington insiders that US Senator Ernest Hollings was moved last year to declare that Iraq was invaded, as he put it, to “secure Israel,” and that “everybody” – his word -- knows it. Referring to the cowardly reluctance of his Congressional colleagues to openly acknowledge this reality, Hollings said that “nobody is willing to stand up and say what is going on.” With few exceptions, members of Congress uncritically support Israel and its policies due to what Hollings called, “the pressures that we get politically.” / 4

In Britain, a veteran member of the House of Commons candidly declared in May 2003 that pro-Israel Jews had taken control of America’s foreign policy, and had succeeded in pushing the US and Britain into war in Iraq. “A Jewish cabal have taken over the government in the United States and formed an unholy alliance with fundamentalist Christians,” said Tam Dalyell, a Labour party deputy known as “Father of the House” because he is the longest-serving Member of Parliament. “There is far too much Jewish influence in the United States,” he added. / 5

By supporting Israel and its policies, the United States betrays not only its own national interests, but the principles it claims to embody and defend. The truth is, that if the United States held Israel to the same standards that it has applied to Iraq, Serbia, and other countries, American bombers and missiles would be blasting Tel Aviv, and we’d be putting Israeli prime minister Sharon behind bars for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Americans have already paid a high price for the US alliance with Israel. This includes tens of billions of dollars in economic and military aid to the Jewish state, the cost of the Iraq war and occupation, now more than $200 billion, and the deaths of more than fifteen hundred Americans there. Directly and indirectly, America's "special relationship" with Israel has also generated unprecedented distrust, fear and loathing of the United States around the world.

In the years to come, the cost of the US alliance with Israel is certain to rise much more. As some Jewish leaders have openly acknowledged, the Iraq war is merely part of a long-range effort to install Israel-friendly regimes across the Middle East. Norman Podhoretz, a prominent Jewish writer and an ardent supporter of Israel, has been for years editor of Commentary, the influential Zionist monthly. In the September 2002 issue he wrote: “The regimes that richly deserve to be overthrown and replaced are not confined to the three singled-out members of the axis of evil [Iraq, Iran, North Korea]. At a minimum, the axis should extend to Syria and Lebanon and Libya, as well as ‘friends’ of America like the Saudi royal family and Egypt ’s Hosni Mubarak, along with the Palestinian Authority, whether headed by Arafat or one of his henchmen.” / 6

Now the world watches anxiously as the danger grows of war with Iran. Israel has threatened to attack Iran if it builds a nuclear reactor, and Iran has vowed to retaliate forcefully against any such assault. The US could easily be drawn into such a conflict, which would be much more destructive than the Iraq war.

There are some who object to the power of the “Jewish lobby” because it supports, or, rather, makes possible, Israel ’s oppression of Palestinians. Others object because they are unhappy with this or that aspect of the lobby’s agenda. But to me this seems beside the point. Apart from the harmful consequences of this or that particular policy enforced by the Jewish lobby is the injustice and danger inherent in permitting any distinct minority group or interest to wield immense, disproportionate power and influence -- and especially in the country that is the world’s foremost military, economic and financial power, and most important cultural factor. Imagine the response, for example, if Mormons, or evangelical Christians, or African-Americans, or the tobacco companies, were to secure a grip on the American media and on America ’s political life comparable to that held by Jews.

In reality, the Jewish hold on American life is far more dangerous than one that, in theory, might be held by any of the other groups I’ve mentioned. There are two main reasons for this:

First, Jews in America have, manifestly, a staunch loyalty to a foreign country, Israel, that since its founding in 1948 has been embroiled in seemingly endless crises and conflicts with its neighbors, and which is now an formidable military power with a large nuclear arsenal.

Second, because of the distrustful and even adversarial way that Jews view the rest of us. This latter remark may seem overstated, so I’ll try to explain.

It is not merely that such great power is wielded by a small minority group, it’s that it is wielded by a group that, more than any other, has a pronounced sense of separateness from the rest of humanity, and which, accordingly, views its interests as quite distinct from those of everyone else. This Us vs. Them attitude, this mindset that sees Jews as distinct from, and superior to, the rest of humanity, is deeply rooted in the Jewish psyche.

It is laid out in the Hebrew scriptures, the Torah, or, as most Christians call it, the Old Testament. / 7 In the book of Deuteronomy, for example, we read: “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, out of all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.” Jews or Hebrews are also referred to as a People that Shall Dwell Alone, or, in another translation, as “a people dwelling alone, and not reckoning itself among the nations.” In the book of Exodus, we read of the Jews as a people “distinct... from all other people that are upon the face of the earth.” In another passage, we are told, God says to his chosen people: “This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.”

The ancient Jewish sense of alienation from, and abiding distrust of, non-Jews is also manifest in a remarkable essay published in April 2002 in the Forward, the prominent Jewish community weekly. Entitled “We’re Right, the Whole World’s Wrong,” it is written by Rabbi Dov Fischer, an attorney and a member of the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. Rabbi Fischer is also national vice president of the Zionist Organization of America. / 8 So this essay was not written by an obscure or semi-literate scribbler, but rather by a prominent Jewish community figure. And it did not appear in the some marginal periodical, but rather in what is perhaps the most literate and thoughtful Jewish weekly in America, and certainly one of the most influential.

In his essay, Rabbi Fischer tells readers: “If we Jews are anything, we are a people of history. .... Our history provides the strength to know that we can be right and the whole world wrong.” He goes on:

“We were right, and the whole world was wrong. The Crusades. The blood libels and the Talmud burnings in England and France, leading those nations to expel Jews for centuries. The Spanish and Portuguese Inquisition. The ghettos and the Mortara case in Italy. Dreyfus in France. Beilis in Russia and a century’s persecution of Soviet Jewry.

“The Holocaust. Kurt Waldheim in Austria. Each time, Europe stood by silently -- or actively participated in murdering us -- and we alone were right, and the whole world was wrong.

“Today, once again, we alone are right and the whole world is wrong. The Arabs, the Russians, the Africans, the Vatican proffer their aggregated insights into and accumulated knowledge of the ethics of massacre. And the Europeans. Although we appreciate the half-century of West European democracy more than we appreciated the prior millennia of European brutality, we recognize who they are, what they have done -- and what’s what. ...

“We remember that the food they [Europeans] eat is grown from soil fertilized by 2,000 years of Jewish blood they have sprinkled onto it. Atavistic Jew-hatred lingers in the air into which the ashes rose from the crematoria...

“Yes, once again, we are right and the whole world is wrong. It doesn’t change a thing, but after 25 centuries it’s nice to know.”

I can’t resist mentioning that some of the Rabbi’s remarks here are stupefying distortions of history. To speak, as he does, for example, of “a century’s persecution of Soviet Jewry” is a breathtaking falsehood. For one thing, the entire Soviet period lasted 72 years, not 100. And during at least some of that period, above all during the first ten years of the Soviet era, Jews wielded tremendous, if not dominant power in the Bolshevik regime. Or did Rabbi Fischer forget such figures as Leon Trotsky, commander in chief of the young Soviet state’s Red Army, Grigori Zinoviev, head of the Communist International, or Yakov Sverdlov, the first Soviet president. / 9

The Rabbi’s essay is noteworthy not so much for his distortions of fact, as it is for what it reveals of the mentality of the man who wrote it, and of the literate Jews who published and read it -- and for what it says about our times.

For example, Fischer pins blame for “the Holocaust” -- that is, for the event that Jews routinely regard as the single most horrible crime in history, collectively on non-Jewish humanity. This view, which has gained wider acceptance in recent decades, represents a drastic re-writing of history. During World War II itself, of course, Jews did not dare say to non-Jewish Americans that they actually shared blame and guilt with “the Nazis” for murdering innocent Jews in Europe. During the war, Jews said just the opposite.

During World War II, and for about some years after, the official story, the “party line,” if you will, was that responsibility and blame for the horrors of the Nazi era lay with Hitler and his “Nazi henchmen.” The official story in those days was that most Europeans -- French, Austrians, Poles, Hungarians, and so forth, and even most Germans – were victims of the evil Nazis. In recent decades the circle of guilt -- the list of perpetrators -- has grown steadily, so that not merely Hitler, or “the Nazis,” or “the Germans,” but now the French, the Hungarians, Poles, Ukrainians, the Vatican -- in short, all of Europe, indeed all non-Jewish humanity -- is held to be collectively responsible for this allegedly greatest of all human crimes.

The most direct and obvious victims of Jewish-Zionist power are, of course, the Palestinians who live under Israel’s harsh rule. But we Americans are also victims. Through the Jewish-Zionist grip on the media, and the organized Jewish-Zionist corruption of our political system, we are pressured, seduced, cajoled, and deceived into propping up the Jewish state, providing it with billions of dollars yearly and state-of-the-art weaponry, and even sacrificing American lives.

But it is also the truth that we Americans share some responsibility for all this. We have allowed immense power, affecting every aspect of our lives and our future, to be wielded by members of an ethnic-religious minority group who view the American people as future enemies and potential murderers. Put another way, Americans have permitted people who regard them with profound distrust to play a major role in determining how we live our lives, and in determining our future both as individuals and as a nation. To permit such power to pass into the hands of people who clearly do not have our best interests at heart -- indeed, do not even trust us -- is, to put it mildly, irresponsible.

I want to emphasize here that to deal candidly with the reality of Jewish-Zionist power is not, as some may claim, “anti-Semitism” or “hate.” We do not wish harm to any individual, Jewish or not, because of his or her ancestry, religion or background. At the same time, we should not let smears or malicious accusations, no matter how vehemently expressed, keep us from saying the truth, or doing what is right.

One of the most important centers of Jewish-Zionist power is the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Headquartered in Los Angeles, it reports a membership of more than 300,000 and an annual income of $27 million, including $10 million in taxpayer funds. The Center and its head, Rabbi Marvin Hier, wield considerable political power. According to the Los Angeles Times Magazine, "Hier has accrued unprecedented clout in the Legislature, on Capitol Hill, in the city's boardrooms and even in Hollywood.” / 10 The Center’s imposing “Museum of Tolerance” in West Los Angeles, which presents a relentlessly Jewish-Zionist version of history, reportedly draws 350,000 visitors yearly, including tens of thousands of school children.

Although it claims to promote “tolerance,” the Center’s real agenda is a narrowly Jewish-Zionist one. It is a staunch supporter of Israel and its Jewish supremacist regime. It fervently defends Israel’s policies of oppression, occupation, dispossession, and institutionalized discrimination against non-Jews. The Center supports Israeli policies that violate United Nations Security Council resolutions. It applauds Israel ’s “security fence,” a hideous barrier that is part of a long-term Zionist effort to seize land of non-Jews, and which the International Court of Justice says is illegal.

While the Center denounces violence and terrorism against Jews, it sanctions Zionist terrorism. It has publicly honored two Israeli leaders – Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir – each of whom has a well-documented record as a terrorist.

The Center has a long record of reckless propaganda for war. For years it had been pressing for an American attack against Iraq, backing its warmongering with alarmist claims about the supposed danger posed by the Baghdad regime. As long ago as November 1990, Rabbi Hier was telling readers of a piece he wrote that appeared in Newsweek magazine: “I think the United States should go in. Maybe not tomorrow, but very soon… Three years from now, Iraq will have nuclear weapons.” / 11

In the Spring 1991 issue of its glossy magazine, Response, the Center was claiming that Iraq was killing Iranian prisoners in German-built gas chambers. The Center’s magazine went on to claim that German firms were producing Zyklon B gas in Iraq, "the chemical used by the Germans to murder millions of Jews during the Nazi Holocaust." Iranian prisoners of war, the Center’s magazine said, were being killed with Zyklon B "in gas chambers specially designed for the Iraqis by the German company Rhema Labortechnik… An eyewitness reported the [Iraqi] gas chambers were tiled to look like operating rooms, with a separated observation room for each gas chamber with reinforced glass visibility." / 12

Of course, these fantastic claims had no basis in reality.

In a statement issued in October 2002, several months before the US invasion of Iraq, the Wiesenthal Center insisted that war was necessary because the Saddam Hussein regime had been “continuing to stockpile weapons of mass destruction.” Moreover, the Center went on to assert: “For while there are other tyrants, Saddam alone stands as a menace to world order and stability. While there are others who possess chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, only Saddam has shown an eagerness to use them.” / 13

As the world now knows, these claims were not true.

In the view of Dr. Frank Knopfelmacher, a prominent Australian Jewish scholar, the Wiesenthal Center foments "ethnic hatred.” Australia government officials, he says, should have "banned the members of the Simon Wiesenthal Center from entering Australia and should have deported those who were here.” / 14

Through its Museum, its glossy magazine, Response, and other propaganda materials, the Center relentlessly exploits painful memories of the Holocaust and Jewish suffering during World War II to raise millions of dollars annually. In a book entitled One, by One, by One, author Judith Miller, the New York Times journalist who has been in the news a lot lately, wrote: “The enormous success of the Simon Wiesenthal Center has given new meaning to what was once a macabre in-house joke ... 'There is no business like Shoah business'." / 15 (“Shoah" is the Hebrew term for Holocaust.)

A few years ago, the director of Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust center said: “Rabbi Hier and the Wiesenthal Center are, in my opinion, the most extreme of those who utilize the Holocaust. The Jewish people does many vulgar things, but the Wiesenthal Center [has] raised it to a complete level: The optimum use of sensitive issues in order to raise money…” / 16

The Wiesenthal Center has been a major player in what American Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein calls the “shakedown” campaign by Israel and organized Jewry to extort billions of dollars from European countries and corporations. Finkelstein, author of the bestselling study, The Holocaust Industry, calls the Center “a gang of heartless and immoral crooks, whose hallmark is that they will do anything for a dollar.” / 17

At a time of belt-tightening by California and other states, with money short for schools and highways, it is all the more outrageous that millions of dollars in taxpayer funds go to support this wealthy bastion of Jewish-Zionist power, and its bigoted, self-serving agenda. The Wiesenthal Center deserves the scorn and contempt of every decent person.

And that’s why, on Friday, July 29, we’ll be rallying at the Wiesenthal Center’s offices in Los Angeles to focus attention on the Center’s record of lies in support of war, Zionist oppression and Jewish supremacism, and to protest the giveaway of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to this bulwark of Jewish-Zionist power.

A few of those who are here this evening have come, perhaps, out of simple curiosity, or to meet others who are attending. But for most of us, we are here this evening because we care. We care about what is right and wrong. We care about what is true and not true. We care about the past and, more importantly, we care about the future. We care about the world we live in. We feel a sense of responsibility for the world we’ve inherited, and for the world of the future. We want to make a difference – to make this a better world – a world that, even beyond our own lifetimes, is more just and right.

Some of us may feel a special concern for the cause of peace, mindful of the destruction, suffering, and death of war. Some may feel a special concern for justice, perhaps especially for the people who have lived for decades under Zionist occupation. Some of us may feel a special concern for the welfare and future of his or her own culture, race or nation, while others may feel a responsibility for the future of all mankind.

Regardless of the particular causes or principles that most move us, that are closest to our hearts, no issue is of greater urgency than breaking the Jewish-Zionist grip on American political, social and cultural life. As long as this power remains entrenched, there will be no end to the systematic Jewish distortion of history and current affairs, the Jewish-Zionist domination of the US political system, Zionist oppression of Palestinians, the bloody conflict between Jews and non-Jews in the Middle East, and the Israeli threat to peace.

Throughout history Jews have time and again wielded great power to further group interests that are separate from, and often contrary to, those of the non-Jewish populations among whom they live. This creates an inherently unjust and unstable situation that, as history shows, never endures.

Now we are engaged in a great, global struggle -- in which two distinct and irreconcilable sides confront each other. A struggle that pits a self-assured and diabolical power that feels ordained to rule over others, on one side, and all other nations and societies -- indeed, humanity itself -- on the other.

This struggle is not a new one. It is the latest enactment of a great drama that has played itself out again and again, over centuries, and in many different societies, cultures and historical eras. In the past this drama has played itself out on a local, national, regional, or, sometimes, continental stage. Today this is a global drama, and a global clash.

It is a struggle for the welfare and future not merely of the Middle East, or of America, but a great historical battle for the soul and future of humanity itself. A struggle that calls all of us here this evening – and many more across the country and around the world – who share a sense of responsibility for the future of humankind.

Some of those here this evening have already done much. But so much more still needs to be done. To expose and stand against this insidious power is often difficult and disheartening work, but it is absolutely necessary. During this momentous historical era, we pledge to carry on in this struggle, for the sake not only of our own nation and heritage, but for all humanity.

"tinfoil this anus face"

OK poopy breath.
Strategic locations aren't determined by Islamic Fantasies-
Cakka head .
(the best thing about tinfoil deflector beanies, is that you can form them to fit your head)

Finally we get to hear from "Rimmers For Zion" who seem to be a little put out at being called arseholes...

"Strategic locations aren't determined by Islamic Fantasies" thunders anus face.

No, strategic locations are determined by vast oil reserves.

Anyway, maybe if you loosened you tinfoil pseudo-religious Zionist yarmulke your temperament would improve. I might even call you a plain old arsehole then instead of an anus face.

Oh, and thanks for the cutting edge rebuttal of the article I posted. Scintillating stuff!

Oil reseves aren't worth a penny if youy can't get the oil to market.
Let me help you out Mustafa:

If the saudis drill oil, and a customer in Europe buys it, how do the Saudis get the oil to Europe?
Stargate? Praying hard at the mosque? Maybe the saudis could get Scotty to beam the oil to Europe.

So the strategic locatioon are not just the oil fields, but also the transportation routes...
Hey, nobody ever said you had to be smart to be an Arabist.

If you want any proof that anti-zionism is worse than nazism then this site is the best place to look. Nothing happens just blame the Joooos all day.

read our (antizionist) hateful contradiction -

<<zionism is not judaism<<

<< ... Zionist yarmulke <<

One moment we (antizionists) quoting Jewish fundamentalists (NK), then next we demonizing Jewish religion (across the board), the next moment we are quoting Christian fundamentalists (Bible Believers).

When we racist Anti-zionists find ourselves without any argument we either get into hysteria like spoiled children, or spam
LOL.

Who's Wagging Whom?
Do sinister Jews control the world
or are they mere puppets of
some white racist Illuminati?
By John Kaminski

8-11-5

Dear Abby,

Awhile back, I got into a most interesting e-mail debate about who really controls the world. It was titled "Who's Wagging Whom?" The participants generally were split along typical conspiratorial lines: with their superior intelligence and guile, the Jews control everything, versus, the poor Jews are being used by a Eurocentric, white racist Illuminati as designated patsies in a neverending criminal Crusade against the Middle East and other hapless nonwhites.

As I recall, the debate was not resolved with finality, nor in the real world has this question yet been answered in a clear fashion.

But what may be the even more significant aspect of the question "Who's Wagging Whom?" is the growing notion that world politics is not really determined by its recognizable political entities. People are beginning to figure out that it's not a simple matter of the capitalists vs. communists, whites vs. blacks, or North vs. South. It's not simply the U.S. vs. Germany and Japan, U.S. vs. USSR, or the free world vs. the supposed Muslim terror menace.

This growing notion senses a more authentic line of demarcation that identifies rich vs. poor as the more appropriate label between sides in this new war, which is also the old war, and the endless war.

Further, it suspects, through repeated analyses of the events of recent history, that somehow a single entity manages to bankroll BOTH sides in each conflict, employs deceptive operatives who pretend to be working for one side when they're really working for the other (if they're not openly working for both), and generally fans the flames of violent hatred whenever it can for one purpose only, to make sure war breaks out and continues - because that is where the real money is, and always has been.

Perhaps the clearest recent example of this was the eight-year war between Iraq and Iran, during which the Western axis of evil - the U.S., Britain and Israel - did everything it could to fund BOTH sides in the conflict, hoping that the two nations would destroy each other. Then these usurious vultures could walk in and pick up the profitable pieces. When that didn't happen, the Western axis of evil decided it had to start its own war there, which it did. This eviscerating wound to not only the Iraqi people but to all the peoples of the world, including Americans, has reached the point where we are now on the verge of World War Three as this policy swaggers on toward its depraved conclusion.

Somebody wants World War Three. And we can locate the people who do as residing within the Western axis of evil. But, returning to our original question, is it the Jews, or are they merely pawns of the racist Eurocentric Illuminati, all of them trapped in their own demonic delusions while transporting us all toward a megamistake that can't be undone?

Jewish paranoia is an amazingly complex and frightful topic, one with two distinct aspects. The Jews themselves have had drilled into them from childhood that non-Jews consider them pariahs. Ever since Moses was driven out of Egypt, the Jews have exhibited a schizophrenic persecution complex, insisting everybody's after their butts because their God told them they are superior to everyone else. This is a message clearly presented in both the Talmud and the Old Testament, and this is precisely what drives their attitude. It is the rare Jew indeed who perceives the connection between their claims of superiority and the persecution they claim to receive. The obvious solution seems to be for Jews to admit they're just another clan in the human family, but for some reason they don't seem to be willing to do that, and likely, one day, that will result in a future for them far darker than their hubris dares imagine.

The second aspect of Jewish paranoia centers around a marathon history known generally as the diaspora. No one social group has survived intact as long as this one. The big question that never seems to be erased from the minds of suspicious non-Jews is why Jews have been kicked out of so many countries, and why, when wandering Jews arrive in another country, that country evinces a bad habit to deteriorate, disintegrate, and die.

Those who see the world's problems as a Jewish problem, and insist that Jews have caused all the wars in human history, have an impressive array of superficial historical facts to back up their arguments.

Sticking for the moment to only the 20th century, anti-Jewish thought blames both World Wars on Jews. World War I was only a European conflict until the forces of Zionism received a guarantee from England to recognize their claim to Palestine, at which point, the U.S., with President Woodrow Wilson cunningly blackmailed by his Jewish adviser Colonel House, brought America into the "war to end all wars." Even worse, after the shooting stopped, House betrayed Wilson and humanity by implementing impossible financial constraints on the defeated Germans that all but guaranteed another world war.

Darker still, U.S. Jewish bankers actually helped fund Hitler to build Germany up for yet another war. It is one of the great misstatements of history that the Western axis of evil actually triumphed for freedom's sake in World War II, when in fact, the financial powers behind the Western nations actually fomented the war for profit, and then when Hitler asked Churchill for peace before the war really got started, the West refused because it wanted to destroy Germany's economic success story for good - and of course make all that war money. The very same process happened again in 1968 when Jewish war criminal Henry Kissinger needlessly prolonged the Vietnam war for five more years.

But getting back to World War I - just for a minute - two other world changing events occurred that are also laid at the feet of the worldwide Jewish banking conspiracy. The first was the creation of the Federal Reserve legislation, which forever placed the American money system in the hands of private bankers and guaranteed that genuine participatory government was gone for good from the United States.

And second, of course, was the infamous Bolshevik Revolution which did the same thing in Russia, although in a different way. The key element in that bloody uprising was the presence of key American Jews who were funded by New York bankers. Trotsky and others were sent into Russia and supervised the murder of the czar, his family, and twenty million people. That's why Hitler was so afraid of the Jews. He saw what happened. And he saw the same crowd - again, this goes exactly to the question of who's wagging whom? - doing the same to Germany in the 1920s. So he took action. And the bankers from America, among whose ranks dwelled members of the opportunistic Bush family - rubbed their hands with glee.

There are many more stories in this genre throughout history, but for now, let us return to the present and consider another story that goes to the heart of the matter of who's wagging whom?

I've gotten myself into hot water with virtually all factions of the 9/11 skeptics movement by continuing to insist that various Zionist Jews played a key role in the false flag operation that killed all those people in New York and Washington, and set the stage for the intensification of corporate tyranny that is now waging war on innocent people all over the world, and particularly in Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Outraged critics from all over the political spectrum have assailed me for my so-called 'anti-Semitism' for mentioning this unmentionable topic, and tried to lure me into toeing the line on this matter with promises of increased financial success if I would just drop it.

So let me just drop on you a series of smoking guns that PROVES beyond a shadow of a doubt that Zionist Jews were intimately involved in the planning and execution of 9/11 (we already know that Zionist Jewish Israel was the primary beneficiary of 9/11 because it took the spotlight off its continuing genocide of the Palestinians, and later got the American war machine inextricably involved in wiping out its Islamic adversaries throughout the Middle East).

First is best, and here it is. Leland Lehrman, a young father who lives out West, was a Jew but is now a committed Christian. He reports, in "Israel, Mossad, Iran and a Nuclear False Flag,"

http://physics911.net/nuclearfalseflag.htm

The Mossad is a leading candidate for architect of the 9/11 attacks. This suppressed German Intelligence Document reveals how senior Israelis knew in advance about the attacks and "urgently wished that no attempt was made to prevent the attacks." Here's a longer quote:

"It is very evident from surveillance conducted against Mossad agents in the Federal Republic as well as interceptions of Israeli diplomatic communication from the Federal Republic to Tel Aviv, that the Mossad has successfully penetrated various extremist Arab groups in both the Federal Republic and the United States.

These investigations disclosed in late May of 2001 that an attack was to be made against certain specified targets in the American cities of Washington and New York. But it was apparent that the Mossad was not only fully aware of these attacks well in advance but actually, through their own agents inside these Arab groups, assisted in the planning and the eventual execution of the attacks.

That the Israeli government was fully aware of these attacks is absolutely certain and proven. Diplomatic traffic between the Israeli Embassy in the Federal Republic and the Israeli Foreign Office made it very clear that Minister President Sharon was fully aware of this pending attack and urgently wished that no attempt was made to prevent the attacks.

Although the Israeli officials were instructed to warn the American intelligence community that some kind of an attack might be possible, at no time were the specific dates and targets (known at that time to Israeli officials) to be given to the Americans.

The rationale for this attitude was expressed in a conversation on August 1, 2001, between the Israeli Military Attaché in the Federal Republic to a member of the Israeli General Staff. There it was stated that Israel believed an attack on the continental United States would so inflame American public opinion that they would permit Israel to "cleanse" their state of "Arab terrorists and those who support such terrorists". This "cleansing" was explained as the expulsion of all Arabs, and even Christian groups, from the Palestine area."

The physics911.net website has additional supporting evidence for Mossad involvement in 9/11 in its background information section.

I suggest if you care about the future of your world that you go to that site and read that whole story.

Regarding further smoking guns that PROVE Jewish Israeli involvement in 9/11:

* Between August 26 and September 11, 2001, a group of speculators, identified by the American Securities and Exchange Commission as ISRAELI CITIZENS, sold "short" a list of 38 stocks that could reasonably be expected to fall in value as a result of the pending attacks. These speculators operated out of the Toronto, Canada and Frankfurt, Germany, stock exchanges and their profits were specifically stated to be "in the millions of dollars."

Short selling of stocks involves the opportunity to gain large profits by passing shares to a friendly third party, then buying them back when the price falls. Historically, if this precedes a traumatic event, it is an indication of foreknowledge. It is widely known that the CIA uses the Promis software to routinely monitor stock trades as a possible warning sign of a terrorist attack or suspicious economic behavior. A week after the Sept. 11 attacks, the London Times reported that the CIA had asked regulators for the Financial Services Authority in London to investigate the suspicious sales of millions of shares of stock just prior to the terrorist acts. It was hoped the business paper trail might lead to the terrorists.

Investigators from numerous government agencies are part of a clandestine but official effort to resolve the market manipulations There has been a great deal of talk about insider trading of American stocks by certain Israeli groups both in Canada and Germany between August 26 and the Sept.11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Lynne Howard, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), stated that information about who made the trades was available immediately. "We would have been aware of any unusual activity right away. It would have been triggered by any unusual volume. There is an automated system called 'blue sheeting,' or the CBOE Market Surveillance System, that everyone in the business knows about. It provides information on the trades - the name and even the Social Security number on an account - and these surveillance systems are set up specifically to look into insider trading. The system would look at the volume, and then a real person would take over and review it, going back in time and looking at other unusual activity."

Wasn't it funny, then (to put it mildly), that the FBI publicly concluded shortly thereafter that there was nothing suspicious about these pre-9/11 stock profits that indicated any kind of foreknowledge of the event. Read the whole story at

http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/04/315296.shtml

"Israeli citizens," the story said. Hmm. I wonder who else might be Israeli citizens involved in this whole deceptive mess. How about Rabbi Dov Zakheim?

In a document called "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century" published by The American Enterprise's "Project for a New American Century", System Planning Corporation (SPC) International executive, Dov Zakheim, called for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor" being necessary to foster the frame of mind needed for the American public to support a war in the Middle East that would politically and culturally reshape the region. A respected and established voice in the intelligence community, his views were eagerly accepted, and Dov went from his position at Systems Planning Corporation to become the Comptroller of the Pentagon in May 2001. Perhaps not so coincidentally, it was an SPC subsidiary, TRIDATA CORPORATION, that oversaw the investigation after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

SPC, according to their official website, specializes in many areas of defense technology production and manufacture, including a system developed by their Radar Physics Group called the Flight Termination System, or FTS. This is a system used to destroy target drones (craft that would be fired on by test aircraft or weaponry) in the event of malfunction or "misses". This highly sophisticated war-game technology allows the control of several 'drones' from a remote location, on varying frequencies, and has a range of several hundred miles. This technology can be used on many different types of aircraft, including large passenger jets.

Once again, if you're interested in delving into the dirtiest details of this key neocon player, check out Dov Zackheim And The 9/11 Conspiracy near the end of the page:

http://www.conspiracynewsnet.com/shadow.html

and be sure and click those links at the bottom, too, where you'll find nuggets like

System Planning Corporation designs, manufactures and distributes highly sophisticated technology that enables an operator to fly by remote control as many as eight different airborne vehicles at the same time from one position either on the ground or airborne. For those looking for an extraordinarily interesting hobby, please see photos and specs of this hardware (about the size of a small refrigerator) at http://www.sysplan.com/Radar/CTS. Just be sure your mom doesn't catch you causing havoc with the airlines.

And, of course, I would be remiss not to mention that Rabbi Zakheim just happened to be the chief financial officer of the Pentagon one ordinary day when a news conference was held in New York City.

On September 10, 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference to disclose that over $2 TRILLION in Pentagon funds could not be accounted for. Rumsfeld stated: "According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."

Such a disclosure normally would have sparked a huge scandal. However, the commencement of the attack on New York City and Washington in the morning would assure that the story remained buried. To the trillions already missing from the coffers, an obedient Congress terrorized by anthrax attacks would add billions more in appropriations to fight the War on Terror.

The Comptroller of the Pentagon at the time of the attack was Dov Zakheim, who was appointed in May 2001. Before becoming the Pentagon's money manager, he was an executive at System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor specializing in electronic warfare technologies including remote-controlled aircraft systems. Zakheim is a member of the Project for a New American Century and participated in the creation of its 2000 position paper Rebuilding America's Defenses, which called for "a New Pearl Harbor."

This telling little news brief can be found at my favorite 9/11 website: http://911research.wtc7.net/sept11/trillions.html

These three news nuggets dwarf other, more well known connections between the Jewish state and 9/11: Israeli agents Perle/Wolfowitz/Libby/etc. driving White House policy; WTC landlord Larry Silverstein's personal connection to Israel's war criminal prime minister Ariel Sharon; Israeli henchman Benjamin Netanyahu being in New York City and saying 9/11 "was a good thing for Israel"; the dancing Israelis arrested by New Jersey police for cheering the destruction of the towers and having boxcutters in their van; the advance warning to the Odigo phony company; and other stuff.

And I would be remiss not to mention the role of Rabbi Michael Chertoff, now head of America's Homeland Security secret police, who coordinated the multi-agency non-investigation right after 9/11.

Now, many people know what I'm talking about, though most are afraid to speak of it. White racists like Edgar Steele and David Duke and even the falsely imprisoned Ernst Zundel correctly identify some of the Jewish negativities in the world, but sabotage their own message by trashing the wholly innocent and manipulated black race, which plays right into the hands of the master manipulators and makes these Revisionist contributions to the larger debate on how to run a humane and healthy world less than they could be.

And even supposedly compassionate liberal commentators like William Blum, Amy Goodman, and Noam Chomsky are razor sharp when it comes to describing the demented depredations of the United States against the hapless poor people of the world, but they suddenly (and not inexplicably) grow shy and quiet on the subject of Jewish manipulation of the American and British governments, the churches of the Western world, and the Jewish hammerlock on money, media, education, law, and medicine in this society that we have mistakenly called our own.

What piques my alarm is the continuing attempt by so many "thoughtful" commentators to distance the evil deeds of the warmaking Zionist menace from "ordinary Jews" to a certain criminal element that was as much a danger to Jews as to anybody else (which is certainly true, in one respect). But I instantly rejected this transparent ruse by realizing that everything bad that Zionists have done is not only heartily endorsed by the evil books known as the Talmud and Torah (first five books of the Old Testament), but also that the clearly illegal and immoral existence of the criminal state of Israel is supported by all Jews, lapsed or not, except for a tiny splinter group of Orthodox Jews who nevertheless embrace the same racist Jewish supremacy garbage as their holy creed.

Jews doubtless feel this is an unwarranted intrusion into their business, but the human community insists on knowing more about a dogma that consigns the rest of the world to slavery, often with the status of animals or products, and this sensible world community, knowing it is an unwise course for humanity to follow the we are now pursuing, demands to know why Jews regard non-Jews as cattle as it is written in what they claim are they their holy books.

Furthermore, the definitive evidence for me is that British political supremacy in the world did not really occur until the Marrano Jews were expelled from Spain around 1500 (the Rockefellers went to Turkey, then on to Holland where they took their present name and became Episcopalians).

Most of those expelled went to Holland, which accounts for the astonishing political power today of Queen Juliana), before crossing over into England and, through the implementation of the practices of usury and fractional reserve banking, enabled Britain to become ruler of the world, plundering country after country (as did Holland).

This was the power of usury - great for empires, bad for people. But the price Britain paid for power was that it gave up its actual sovereignty to Jewish bankers, who eventually captured, through Nathan Rothschild's astute maneuver after Wellington's victory over Napoleon, the Bank of England. Since then British "royals" have intermarried with Jews to the point that Britain and Israel are virtual synonyms.

Rense columnist Henry Makow, in his recent commentary "The Jewish Conspiracy is British Imperialism," even concedes ...

According to L.G. Pine, the Editor of Burke's Peerage , Jews "have made themselves so closely connected with the British peerage that the two classes are unlikely to suffer loss which is not mutual. So closely linked are the Jews and the lords that a blow against the Jews in this country would not be possible without injuring the aristocracy also." (Tales of the British Aristocracy, 1957, p.219.)

Better yet is the alarming rebuttal to the contention in Makow's title by an anoymous Pakistani writer known only as H., who recounts the plunder of India by a "perfidious Albion" wholly under the control, in the mid-1800s, of the Rothschild banking dynasty. It's a fascinating read at:

http://www.rense.com/general53/brith.htm

And it is more than alarming to realize that British Israel wholly-constructed India's governmental system and staffed it with quisling stooges who remain in power to this day, furnishing alert observers with an unsettling mirror as to what has been done to the United States in the last half of the 20th century.

Ah yes, this is anti-Jewish paranoia at its most powerful. Would that it only stopped there.

Did you know that Zecharia Sitchin, architect of the dominant New Age paradigm about extraterrestrial beings intermingling - ahem, I believe the relevant phrase is "came into the daughters of men," a quote from the Jewish Old Testament - with early protohuman hominids, is really an Israeli economist?

Did you know that, according to maverick theologian David Livingstone, the Wahabbi sect of Islam that not only includes the ruling clan of Saudi Arabia but also the purported architects of the Muslim revolution machine now supposedly running around the world sowing the seeds of "terror," was really founded by an Iraqi Jew? No? Perhaps you should check out

http://www.serendipity.li/wot/livingstone.htm
or
http://www.thedyinggod.com/

And lastly, did you know that what is arguably the founding event in the history of Western civilization - the escape of Moses from Egypt in the 12th century B.C. - is a story that has been grossly misrepresented to you by more than 3,000 years of propagandistic mythmaking?

The brilliant Polish professor Marek Glogoczowski, at a recent conference in Kiev, Ukraine titled "Zionism As The Biggest Threat For Modern Civilization", analyzed the work of the Roman Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and discovered a mention by him of the Egyptian priest Manetho, who lived in the 5th century B.C. and left an account suggesting that the story of the famous Exodus Jews was modeled on an actual historical event in Egypt. Quoting Josephus:

"The pharaoh Amenophis, after the victory over Hyksos, rounded up 80,000 of leprous (lepers) in the city of Avaris in the Delta of Nile. There these leprous organized themselves under the leadership of archpriest Ozarzif or Moses, fortified the city, but Egyptians conquered it, permitting leprous to leave the Egyptian soil."

Glogoczowski, who publishes his essays in a half dozen different languages, scrutinized the passage, and wrote this analysis:

Why does this story of the Exodus of the City of Leprous - which "city" St. Augustin took as a model of his Civitas Dei - recurrently appear in texts related to the history of Jews? Thirty years ago the author of this essay had a chance to visit a big leprozorium, located in Puri, in the state of Orissa in India. He learned there that bacteria of leprosy attacks at first neurons conducting signals to human skin, and then also to extremities like fingers or noses. These, not stimulated by nervous system organs, remain insensible and immobilized, and thus quickly undergo atrophy, their tissues are rotting and finally they are dropping off .... The subsequent stage of development of this illness is less visible, for bacteria of leprosy attack neuronal cells inside the brain, heavily damaging them, cutting connections between diverse brain centers, so the ill person loses the sense of reality, begins to hallucinate and so on. Perhaps Moses, who heard the voice of his "Lord" at the desert, was in fact afflicted by this illness, which made him hallucinate that he will lead his Chosen People towards the land "flowing with milk and honey".

Long ago, Sigmund Freud concurred with this interpretation.

"This similar effect of the loss of neurons," Glogoczowski writes, "connecting not-stimulated brain centers, occurs when people (or any other cerebrated animals) are inhibited for a long time in their spontaneous movements .... men trained since childhood to behave in agreement with ... "Law of Moses" must have substantial parts of their brains atrophied ... "

This specific "spiritual leprosy" of community, which generation after generation became accustomed to a reading and rereading of the same "Holy Scripture" devoid of criticism, was well known in Antiquity. The contemporary of Philo of Alexandria, Stoic philosopher Seneca, considered Jews as the "most criminal tribe"; another Roman writer Celsus, in his criticism of both Jews and Christians, commenting (on) Christian rites of worship of "the dead corpse", remarked that "a new pestilence originated once again from Judea". Even in medieval times, prior to the mass intoxication of Christians with the Bible translated into national languages, Catholic Popes warned their subjects about misdeeds of the "blind tribe of Judah".

Glogoczowski observes this process in Philo, who despite reading only the Greek version of the Old Testament, displays this "spiritual leprosy."

Nevertheless this "Hellenized" version of the Bible was sufficient to mould (the) neuronal "wiring" of his mind in such a way that things normally perceived as meaningful become for him meaningless, while completely pathological reflections became "beacons" to be followed by everyone.

This pathological path proceeded into the future. The religious focus became ....

... only artifacts having utilitarian application are admitted in Judaism to be objects of fervent veneration, for these artifacts facilitate the "taking the earth into possession" promised by the Bible. The adulation of various utensils was in antique Israel so unashamed, that one of manuscripts found in Qumran practically consists of enumeration of ordinary household gear, each item preceded by the word "God's". Not exaggerating at all, we suggest that in case automobiles were known already in Antiquity, the object of worship of the Chosen People would be also GOD'S VEHICLE , providing an effortless transportation to "small deities", as Philo called his co-believers.

The adornment, in Judaism, of ordinary household utensils has made representatives of this religion, although widely despised for their voracious cupiditas naturalis (greed), very useful helpers of every ruler trying to be "like others", and thus dreaming of dwelling in apparent material comfort, secured by riches (and arms) of all kinds. This was the reason, for example, of the decision of King of Poland Kazimierz the Great, to open the country, in late 14th century, for rich Jewry flying from Germany at that time.

Such pragmatic, utilitarian considerations were surely also behind the incomprehensible acceptance by laymen of the Old Testament as the "spiritual beacon" of the expanding Christian faith, which was done during the Council of Nicea in year 325, immediately after Christians seized power in the Roman Empire. But the Church, by the greed of its leaders, accepted Abraham's children's cupiditas naturalis as the "beacon" directing this church's earthly adventures, and quickly become sucked down - like the Jewry it despised - into the neverending pursuit of wealth.

This Catholic (Common) Church predilection for riches automatically has led to the ... separatist Protestant movements, then to bloody religious wars, then to Protestant massive participation in the development of capitalist cancer, and finally, at present encompassing the whole globe, to the Transnational Religion of Mammon.

The German-Jewish psychoanalyst Erich Fromm was really horrified, in the middle of the 20th century, when he realized, soon after his arrival in the U.S., that the Judeo-Christian elites of this "super" country really dream of the "second creation" of the whole Solar System, along the pattern of world's "improvement" outlined by the theosophy of Philo of Alexandria.

Mimicking the famous exclamation of St. Paul "No salvation (of Christians) without the ugliness of Christ's assassination!", we may say that there is NO HUMAN SALVATION WITHOUT BIBLE ABJURATION (ed. - renunciation). This program was already proposed 18 centuries ago by Marcion, son of bishop of Synope, but abandoned a few centuries later thanks to efforts of ambitious cretins like this famous Tertulian, who believed the invented by St. Paul "logos" so much that he proudly announced credo quia absurdum (or ineptum) est. In other terms it means that God, which Tertulian believed in, is hidden in the logical rubbish. And once this LOGICAL RUBBISH took the place of Plotinian ABSOLUTE, it started to radiate downwards, creating subsequent, enumerated by Plotinus, hypostases (ed. - underlying reality; common example: Christ existing in three hypostases - father, son, and holy ghost).

Further analysis by Glogoczowski leads him to conclude:

In this particular, Judeo-Christian ordo vivendi (sinister path), the hypostasis (foundation), following the LOGOS of St. PAUL, became the SPIRIT OF JUDAISATION, known today the best as the Calvinist "American Psyche". This penetrating everywhere "Holy Spirit of Free Enterprise" creates on the earth below the LUMPENCULTURE of Junk Food Eaters, Shopping Mall customers and consumers of the Rubbish Religion and Rubbish Science. Formed by this (lumpen) culture individuals create, by their industrious activities, the ultimate hypostasis of the "Absolute" in form of a GIGANTIC HEAP OF GARBAGE of planetary dimensions. This "New Creation" (Nowotwór - in Polish this means Global Tumor), is the END OF TIMES PROJECT inspired by the Bible Judeo-American "solidarity" of bankers leading their masses.

Leading their masses to certain destruction, I would add.

So ... You still wanna tell me that those poor Jews in Israel are being exploited by those nasty old British monarchs and American neocon necrophiliacs? You think a relatively recent tradition of inbred regal buffoonery can dominate a two millennia old tradition of utter insanity, butchery for bucks, and profound cosmic paranoia?

Now would be a good time to talk about this, since it seems to be the main reason World War Three is about to start.

And Abby. Dear, dear Abby.

So this is what I want to ask, Abby. Just who do you think is wagging whom?

Best wishes,
John K.

P.S.: Abby? I know your sister's name is Landers, and yours is Van Buren. But wasn't your maiden name Friedman? It's OK. My Volynian greatgrandfather's name was Max.

For a wonderful tour of Jewish self-hatred and what it has done to the world, check out http://www.jewishtribalreview.org/nichols.htm

This is getting long, so I'll mention only one excerpt:

... you will also find abundance evidence for internal corruption within, and horrific conduct by, the state of Israel; along with clarifying Israel's solid role in the facilitation of international crime, this material should fortify you against backsliding under the banner of Zionism, just in case this latest icon of Jewish identity at all tempts you. If Israel's role as sanctuary for Jewish criminals on the run, as a hub for money laundering and trade in blood diamonds or its egregious record in human trafficking doesn't disenchant you enough, focus on its historic role in the arms trade and its support of murderous dictatorships in such places as Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Argentina, Chile, or Columbia. Familiarizing yourself with these and many other equally charming qualities of the Jewish state should do the trick.

I should point out to you that as long as you think of yourself as a Jew, you are fated to contend with the longest running, most pronounced internal conflict in history - a conflict threaded through and woven into history as a whole to such a profound extent that only serious, deliberate and honest study can extricate you and deliver you to a position of independence.

Take a look at Hemdat, an Israeli website that features stories of ultra-orthodox Rabbis and their yeshiva minions still hurling excrement at conservative synagogues. They tote Uzis and attack old Jewish women for using their electric wheelchairs on the Shabbat. This is one aspect of Jewish identity. Another aspect is billionaire Edgar Bronfman, peddling whiskey and Gangsta-rap and supporting Zionism; or Al Goldstein, porn merchant; or Lev Trotsky, internationalist revolutionary bankrolled by capitalists. It will be your task to survey the material I am recommending in search of a Jewish identity - beyond the contradictions and conflict - worth salvaging

Jewish "self-hatred" is an aspersion cast upon Jews by Jews, and it is indicative of the conflict that arose within and from a people fixed by the fact and the presumptuousness of having initiated a totalitarian worldview, i.e. under one governance - in the original case a god.

This idée fixe has proved a burden of enormous weight to the people who have carried it forward and managed its mutation under a variety of guises, oftentimes against a general will. Indeed, Jews have a long history of oppressing themselves with this fixed vision of self-importance and also of seeking escape from themselves, in recent centuries directly and indirectly spinning radical and subversive elements continually out into the larger societies they inhabit, all the while maintaining a pathological sense of superiority and an indifference to the destructive effects in this pattern, except perhaps when it crashes down upon themselves.

The real meaning of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is not about Jewish/Christian conflict, but about internal Jewish conflict, an undiminished conflict that is a visible in Israel today as it was in the time of Jesus. The same radical progressives and frothing, fundamentalist fanatics embodied in the trial of Jesus are alive today in Israel and in the extended Jewish community, and they have drawn the world into their narrative and dilemma.

* * *

Know what the best thing about this story is? It's that Christians can no longer assail Jews - nor vice versa - because they both suffer from the same dreadful and depraved disease.

Know what the second best thing is?

Now we know who was really behind 9/11.

If you want any proof that our racist ideology (anti-zionism) is worse than nazism then comment above is the best evidence of that.
Nothing happens just blame the Joooos all day.

Posing as “progressive” WE quoted NAZI-website
http://www.jewishtribes.com (just click on the link)....
it is not the fact that we, islamofascists, actually use information we find over there openly talking about the "jewish problem", it is the fact that we actually using our time to read material over nazi websites...and then WE talk about hate?!
what kind of a joke WE antizionist nazis are?

Adolf Hitler had similar attitudes about Jews as WE

The German Nazis also phantasized about being an "innocent people" enslaved by the Jews.

A Jewish group has filed a complaint to the University of Ottawa against one of its professors after the discovery of content on his website that blames Jews for the terrorist attacks on the United States, and claims the numbers who died at Auschwitz are exaggerated.

The website, http://www.globalresearch.ca, also reprints articles from other writers that accuse Jews of controlling the U.S. media and masterminding the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Other postings suggest Israel, the U.S. and Britain are the real perpetrators of the recent attacks on London.

The site, which is not hosted by the university, is run by Michel Chossudovsky, a controversial left-leaning economist, and came to the attention of B'nai Brith Canada after public complaints to the advocacy group and the Citizen.

"The material on the site is full of wild conspiracy theories that go so far as to accuse Israel, America and Britain of being behind the recent terrorist bombings in London," said Frank Dimant, executive vice-president of B'nai Brith Canada. "They echo the age-old anti-Semitic expressions that abound in the Arab world, which blame the Jews for everything from 9/11 to the more recent tsunami disaster."

The organization singles out a discussion forum, moderated by Mr. Chossudovsky, that features a subject heading called "Some Articles On The Truth of the Holocaust." The messages have titles such as "Jewish Lies of Omission (about the 'Holocaust')," "Jewish Hate Responsible For Largest Mass Killing at Dachau," and "Did Jews Frame the Arabs for 9/11?"

Another posting suggests the number of Jews who died at Auschwitz during the Second World War is inflated.

For the rest of the story read http://www.canada.com/ottawa/ottawacit

In the battle to draw an accurate picture of the world, this is where the rubber meets the road.

And the question for our times be ..... Will unchecked Jewish hysteria, which exploits the finest techniques of public relations to preserve martyrdom status as an invisible barrier to criticism, result in the end of free speech for all the peoples of this planet?

In Canada, if you ask that question, you can be kidnapped from your home on a trumped up charge, held in solitary confinement for two years and not be allowed to see the evidence against you, then deported to another country to go through the same process.

The attack on Global Research and Professor Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa represents an expansion of activity by the Jewish social gestapo into the real fabric of the as-yet unpolluted flow of news that takes place on the Internet. Not so incidentally, Global Research is one of the finest uncorporate news sites on the web. It doesn't dabble in conspiracy theory and presents the finest news writers on the net doing the stories prostituted corpomedia are supposed to be doing.

Solid news stories by highly regarded commentators like Mike Whitney, Ghail Hassan, DU expert Leuren Moret and many others give Global Research an impact that is regarded by many in cyberspace to be the standard in a web news forum. Not a daily digest, it culls the best pieces by the best writers from the developing collection of news websites that leave corporate TV news in the dust.

The attack on Global Research is a recurring social policy of Jewish organizations throughout the world which singles out those who dare disagree with their falsified record of history, and wind up getting convictions and jail sentences because in many countries, Jews have passed laws making it a crime "to defame the memory of the dead."

These laws are exactly what Huxley and Orwell talked about, and they are an unmistakable harbinger of the death of free speech. Why can't we argue about whether the Germans gassed anybody? The empirical records say they didn't. Hysterical Jews have created a religion out of this mawkish Hollowhoax, and erected temples to their misery throughout the world, using government money, of course.

The sinister psychological torture of Ernst Zundel these past few years has been an exquisite pastiche of Jewish influence totally dominating the Canadian government resulting in Star Chamber proceedings in which Zundel was repeatedly brought to court and not allowed to confront his accusers. Now he's in Germany, getting more of the same.

Now Chossudovsky faces the same fate, and the freedom of news on the Internet rides with him.

The only defense for libel is truth. Chossudovsky stands accused of publishing writers that wrote of "Jews of controlling the U.S. media and masterminding the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."

If this ever came to trial, and the courts were fair, Chossudovsky would win in a walk, because his journalistic standards are high, and these stories are true. But we know the courts aren't fair.

So the question then becomes, if he's convicted, or permanently harassed like Zundel, then the law takes control of what we can think. And that, my friends, is surely the end of our even attempting to be fully-functioning humans.

This could very well be the last battle before the extinction of freedom of speech, when even to think certain thoughts will become a crime.

And based on what has happened to Ernst Zundel, there is no reason to think that in the totally Zionized Canadian justice system, the realistic prospects for freedom of speech - and thought - are not good.

LOL
Just look above and laugh !
we posted nazi filth again (from another nazi site) !!

we, far right antizionists, actually use information we find over there openly talking about the "jewish problem",

and THEN WE talk about 'hate'?!
what kind of a joke WE antizionist nazis are?

p.s. good luck for us that hitler's parteigenosse Zundel is DEAD.
bwaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In 1951, the director general of the Israeli Health Ministry, Dr. Chaim Sheba flew to America and returned with 7 x-ray machines, supplied to him by the American army.

They were to be used in a mass atomic experiment with an entire generation of Sephardi youths to be used as guinea pigs. Every Sephardi child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head. For doing so, the American government paid the Israeli government 300,000 Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60,000 liras. The money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of dollars today.

To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away on "school trips" and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment for the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after their doses were given, the many of the rest developed cancers that killed them over time and are still killing them now. While living, the victims suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic headaches and psychosis.

Yes, that is the subject of the documentary in cold terms. It is another matter to see the victims on the screen. ie. To watch the Moroccan lady describe what getting 35,000 times the dose of allowable x-rays in her head feels like.

"I screamed make the headache go away. Make the headache go away. Make the headache go away. But it never went away."

To watch the bearded man walk hunched down the street.

"I'm in my fifties and everyone thinks I'm in my seventies. I have to stoop when I walk so I won't fall over. They took my youth away with those x-rays."

To watch the old lady who administered the doses to thousands of children.

"They brought them in lines. First their heads were shaved and smeared in burning gel. Then a ball was put between their legs and the children were ordered not to drop it, so they wouldn't move. The children weren't protected over the rest of their bodies. There were no lead vests for them. I was told I was doing good by helping to remove ringworm. If I knew what dangers the children were facing, I would never have cooperated. Never!"

Because the whole body was exposed to the rays, the genetic makeup of the children was often altered, affecting the next generation. We watch the woman with the distorted face explain, "All three of my children have the same cancers my family suffered. Are you going to tell me that's a coincidence?"

Everyone notices that Sephardi women in their fifties today, often have sparse patchy hair, which they try to cover with henna. Most of us assumed it was just a characteristic of Sephardi women. We watch the woman on the screen wearing a baseball-style hat. She places a picture of a lovely young teenager with flowing black hair opposite the lens. "That was me before my treatment. Now look at me." She removes her hat. Even the red henna can't cover the horrifying scarred bald spots.

The majority of the victims were Moroccan because they were the most numerous of the Sephardi immigrants. The generation that was poisoned became the country's perpetual poor and criminal class. It didn't make sense. The Moroccans who fled to France became prosperous and highly educated. The common explanation was that France got the rich, thus smart ones. The real explanation is that every French Moroccan child didn't have his brain cells fried with gamma rays.

The film made it perfectly plain that this operation was no accident. The dangers of x-rays had been known for over forty years. We read the official guidelines for x-ray treatment in 1952.

The maximum dose to be given a child in Israel was .5 rad. There was no mistake made. The children were deliberately poisoned. David Deri, makes the point that only Sephardi children received the x-rays.

"I was in class and the men came to take us on a tour. They asked our names. The Ashkenazi children were told to return to their seats. The dark children were put on the bus."

The film presents a historian who first gives a potted history of the eugenics movement. In a later sound bite, he declares that the ringworm operation was a eugenics program aimed at weeding out the perceived weak strains of society. The film now quotes two noted anti-Sephardi racist Jewish leaders, Nahum Goldmann and Levi Eshkol.

Goldmann spent the Holocaust years first in Switzerland, where he made sure few Jewish refugees were given shelter, then flew to New York to become head of the World Jewish Congress headed by Samuel Bronfman. According to Canadian writer Mordecai Richler, Bronfman had cut a deal with Prime Minister Mackenzie King to prevent the immigration of European Jews to Canada.

But Levi Eshkol's role in the Holocaust was far more minister than merely not saving lives. He was busy taking them instead. From a biography of Levi Eshkol from the Israeli government web site:

"In 1937 Levi Eshkol played a central role in the establishment of the Mekorot Water Company and in this role was instrumental in convincing the German government to allow Jews emigrating to Palestine to take with them some of their assets - mostly in the form of German-made equipment."

While world Jewry was boycotting the Nazi regime in the '30s, the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem was propping up Hitler. A deal, called The Transfer Agreement, was cut whereby the Nazis would chase Germany's Jews to Palestine, and the Labor Zionists would force the immigrants to use their assets to buy only German goods. Once the Jewish Agency got the German Jews it wanted, those they secretly indoctrinated in the anti-Judaism of Shabtai Tzvi and Jacob Frank, they let the Nazis take care of the rest of European Jewry. The Holocaust was a eugenics program and Levi Eshkol played a major role in it.

The Moroccan lady is back on the screen. "It was a Holocaust, a Sephardi Holocaust. And what I want to know is why no one stood up to stop it."

David Deri, on film and then as a panel member, relates the frustration he encountered when trying to find his childhood medical records.

"All I wanted to know was what they did to me. I wanted to know who authorized it. I wanted to trace the chain of command. But the Health Ministry told me my records were missing."

Boaz Lev, the Health Ministry's spokesman chimes in, "Almost all the records were burned in a fire."

So, let us help Mr. Deri trace the chain of command. But now I must intrude myself in the review.

About six years ago, I investigated the kidnapping of some 4500, mostly Yemenite immigrant infants and children, during the early years of the state. I met the leader of the Yemenite children's movement, Rabbi Uzi Meshulum, imprisoned for trying to get the truth out. He was later returned home in a vegetative state from which he has not emerged. He told me that the kidnapped children were sent to America to die cruelly in nuclear experiments.

The American government had banned human testing and needed guinea pigs. The Israeli government agreed to supply the humans in exchange for money and nuclear secrets. The initiator of Israel's nuclear program was Defence Ministry director-general Shimon Peres.

Rabbi David Sevilia of Jerusalem corroborated the crime and later, I even saw photos of the radiation scars on the few surviving children, and the cages the infants were shipped to America in.

Just over five years ago I published my belief on the internet, that Israel's Labor Zionist founders had conducted atomic experiments on Yemenite and other Sephardi children, killing thousands of them. Almost three years ago, I published the same assertion in my last book, Save Israel!. I suffered much scorn for doing so. However, I was right.

We return to the documentary. We are told that a US law in the late '40s put a stop to the human radiation experiments conducted on prisoners, the mentally feeble and the like. The American atomic program needed a new source of human lab rats and the Israeli government supplied it.

Here was the government cabinet at the time of the ringworm atrocities:

Prime Minister - David Ben Gurion Finance Minister - Eliezer Kaplan Settlement Minister - Levi Eshkol Foreign Minister - Moshe Sharrett Health Minister - Yosef Burg Labor Minister - Golda Meir Police Minister - Amos Ben Gurion

The highest ranking non-cabinet post belonged to the Director General Of The Defence Ministry, Shimon Peres.

That a program involving the equivalent of billions of dollars of American government funds should be unknown to the Prime Minister of cash-strapped Israel is ridiculous. Ben Gurion was in on the horrors and undoubtedly chose his son to be Police Minister in case anyone interfered with them.

Now let's have a quick glance at the other plotters, starting with the Finance Minister Eliezer Kaplan. He handled the profits of the operation and was rewarded for eternity with a hospital named after him near Rehovot. But he's not alone in this honor.

The racist bigot Chaim Sheba, who ran Ringworm Incorporated, had a whole medical complex named after him. Needless to say, if there is an ounce of decency in the local medical profession, those hospital names will have to change.

Then there is Yosef Burg, who the leaders of the Yemenite Children's movement insist was the most responsible for the kidnappings of their infants. As Health Minister, he certainly played a pivotal role in the Ringworm murders. That would go a great way to explaining the peculiar behavior of his son, the peacemaker, Avraham Burg.

Let us not forget Moshe Sharrett, who had Rabbi Yoel Brand arrested in Aleppo in 1944 for proposing a practical way to save 800,000 Jews trapped in Hungary. Sharrett's most cited quote is, "If Shimon Peres ever enters this government, I will tear my clothes and start to mourn." Several Yemenite Children activists told me Sharrett was referring to the kidnapping of the Yemenite children when he made this statement.

And other amateur historians have told me that Levi Eshkol openly and proudly announced his belief in the tenets of Shabtai Tzvi, but try as I have, I haven't tracked down a citation. However, we do know of Eshkol, that during the period of the radiations, he served first as Settlement Minister, then took over from Kaplan as Finance Minister. From his bio:

"In 1951 Eshkol was appointed Minister of Agriculture and Development, and from 1952 to 1963 - a decade characterized by unprecedented economic growth despite the burden of financing immigrant absorption and the 1956 Sinai Campaign - he served as Minister of Finance. Between 1949 and 1963, Eshkol also served as head of the settlement division of the Jewish Agency. In the first four years of statehood, he was also treasurer of the Jewish Agency, largely responsible for obtaining the funds for the country's development, absorption of the massive waves of immigrants and equipment for the army."

In short, Eshkol was the person most responsible for Israel's immigrants, the ones he sent to radiation torture chambers. Finally, there is Golda Meir. We don't know her role, but she was in on the secret and rewarded for it. Note that every prime minister thereafter until 1977, when the honorable Menachem Begin was elected, came from this cabal. And note also, that no one from what is called the Right today, was privy to the slaughter of the Sephardi children.

Apply that lesson to a contemporary fact: It is the descendants of these butchers who brought us the Oslo "peace" and are determined to wipe out the settlers of Judea, Samaria and Gaza as surely as they had dealt with the inferior dark Jews who came into their clutches fifty years before. Now try and imagine it is 1952 and you are in a cabinet meeting. You will be debating whether to send the Yemenite babies to America for their final zapping, or whether to have them zapped here. That is what the Luciferian, satanic Sabbataian founders of our nation were prattling on about when they got together to discuss the affairs of state.

After the film ended, TV host Dan Margalit tried to put a better face on what he'd witnessed. Any face had to be better than what he had seen. He explained meekly, "But the state was poor. It was a matter of day to day survival." Then he stopped. He knew there was no excusing the atrocities the Sephardi children endured.

But it was the Moroccan singer who summed up the experience best. "It's going to hurt, but the truth has to be told. If not, the wounds will never heal."

There is one person alive who knows the truth and participated in the atrocities. He is Leader Of The Opposition Shimon Peres, the peacemaker. The only way to get to the truth and start the healing is to investigate him for his role in the kidnapping of 4500 Yemenite infants and the mass poisoning of over 100,000 Sephardi children and youths.

But here is why that won't happen. It is a miracle that 100,000 Radiations was broadcast at all. Clearly though, someone fought for it but had to agree to a compromise. The show was aired at the same time as the highest-rated show of the year, the final of Israel's, A Star Is Born. The next day, there was not a word about 100,000 Radiations in any paper, but the newly-born star's photo took up half the front pages.

That's how the truth is buried in Israel, and somehow, these tricks work. The same methods were used to cover up the Rabin assassination.

However, a few hundred thousand people saw the film on their screens and they will never forget the truth. If the Rabin assassination doesn't bury Labor Zionism for good, then 100,000 Radiations eventually will.

two words.
Blow Job.
Get one. It's much more fun than hating Jews.

Or you could do the sensible thing and show respectable evidence that this story is anything other than the latest piece of nazi propoganda .

ADL, Zionist Policies
Causing Rise In
Anti-Jewish Sentiment
By Leland Lehrman

8-27-5

I am an American citizen of Jewish heritage concerned about the methods and doctrines that the criminal leadership of the Jewish and Zionist hierarchy have promoted worldwide. I feel that Jewish Americans need to affirm loyalty to the Constitution of the United States of America as well as the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule, rather than the racist attitudes of the Talmud and other Jewish scriptures.

My former intelligence friends are advising that I move quickly to publicize my situation in order to protect myself through publicity.

The central assertion that the ADL makes is that I am "promoting the Protcols of Zion." On the face of it, that is incorrect, because, in fact, I am deploring the Protocols of Zion, which is without doubt, a template for world domination by a criminal elite. There is a debate about its authenticity, but it has not been proven a forgery by any means, and, sadly, it fits neatly into the context of Jewish Supremacist doctrine found the Old Testament, the Talmud and the Zohar. My understanding is that the only court ruling which found it to be a forgery, in Switzerland, was overturned on appeal by the high court of that land. ADL further asserts that by my "promotion of the Protocols of Zion" I am sponsoring anti-semitism of the Nazi variety. This too is libelous as I have always made clear, taking great pains to do so, that the Protocols do not legitimate racial or religious bias, but represent evidence in a criminal case that involves leadership and doctrinal matters.

In my below defense, I present the essential case for the authenticity of the Protocols of Zion. Drawing from the works of Fraser, Shishmareff, Fahey, Dilling, Freedman, Makow, Brafmann and others, it can be easily demonstrated that the Protocols represent the coherent viewpoint of the Jewish Supremacists of the time. If there has been some interpolation (modifications over time incorporating evolving bias) in the Protocols, that would be natural for a historical document. There is evidence of interpolation in the Bible and most historical narratives that have been translated, copied and preserved by historians of varying intellectual prejudices. But nobody accuses biblical scholars of promoting a forgery because the Bible has some interpolations in it. It is not considered illicit behavior to read the Bible although it certainly contains racist statements and even insists in places that the Jewish people will ultimately rule over all other peoples.

So, why is it that the Protocols are so much of an anathema?

There are two reasons:

One is because they have been misused in order to legitimate a policy of racial and religious genocide. In fact, this is all the more reason to determine what the true nature of the Protocols is. In the event they have had such a terrible impact on humankind and in particular, my people, I find it obvious that they should be studied carefully such that through understanding we can determine the proper solution to the problem.

The other reason the Protocols are so anathema is because, sadly, they are most likely authentic, and therefore represent the most thorough indictment of Jewish Supremacism known to man. The shocking assertions, eerily accurate predictions and diabolical Macchiavellian politics espoused by the Protocols is so violently cataclysmic to the man of good intent's understanding of modern history as to virtually guarantee a political and historical awakening which will unavoidably lead to an understanding of the continuing problem of Jewish racism and supremacism. It will also demonstrate that Jewish Supremacism operates on at least an equal footing with Luciferian Freemasonry in the creation of that diabolical political nightmare euphemistically called the New World Order.

This the ADL believes it cannot afford or tolerate, despite the fact that an honest protective strategy for the Jewish people depends on our willingness to confront the doctrines and criminal leadership which are the cause of our troubles. Again, I declare that it is time for Jewish American citizens of good intent to break with the ADL, the criminal spy organization AIPAC and its supremacist leadership and join in the condemnation of Zionist and neoconservative war plans in Iraq, Iran, Syria and thoughout the world. This alone will guarantee us immunity from any blind anti-semitic backlash that we might experience. It will also prevent the anti-semitic backlash in the first place.

Given that speaking the truth about Jewish Supremacism is now considered anti-semitic, and given that Israel is now trying to extradite "holocaust deniers" to Israel or other places where they can be imprisoned, it is time to bring these issues out into the open and to give dissenting citizens of Jewish extraction the right to be heard and demonstrate that we too understand the problem of Jewish Supremacism and in no way support its warlike and police state policies. It is ironic that Zionist Russian mafia criminals are given safe haven in Israel which refuses to extradite them, yet Israel's new law demands the right to extradite "thought criminals." Apparently, truth is not considered to be a valid defense when discussing anti-semitism. Therefore, we are entering a twilight zone which requires the efforts of honest citizens or the truth may not survive these lies.

Honest Jewish people who obey the law of the land and subscribe to the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments or to natural moral law should have nothing to fear in these times. The ADL makes a mistake when it asserts that people are "not smart enough" to distinguish between racist doctrine and criminal leadership on the one hand and illogical racial bias on the other.

In the tragic case of Germany, to be sure, this happened. However, as someone who lost family in both the holocaust and the Russian pogroms, I assert that were it not for the criminal leadership of the Jewish people in those times, it is unlikely that either the Russian pogroms or the Nazi holocaust would have had any popular support at all.

It is my aim to prevent such tragedies again, but that does not mean I must therefore shield the criminal activities of Jewish elitists. Indeed it is only through assisting in their exposure and removal from power that one can be considered a proponent of justice. To shield criminals from inquiry and prosecution makes one an accessory after the fact - a collaborator.

I will defend the Jewish people as a whole to the last, but it is time that we acknowledge the faults in our doctrine and leadership and expose the criminals who hide behind the more reprehensible among our scriptures. Indeed we should remove these writings from our Holy Books.

It is to this end, and in the interests of my children and family and the future of Mother Earth that I submit the below petition for audience and extended defense of the content of my radio show. It was originally written to address the Jewish Peace Group Tikkun, who was influenced to drop me as a sponsor by the ADL which has been misrepresenting my statements in confrontational meetings with my sponsors around town. Here is that defense:

_____

It is all so saddening, to see the supposed "Peace Movement" unable to discuss Jewish Supremacism. Tikkun should be taking the lead in exposing it from its historic Talmudic origins to its present neconservative and Likud Party basis. Supremacism is hateful, as it generates murderous policy and is anti-human. You know this, so why do you protest when I discuss it? The ADL is quick to denounce White Supremacism and Muslim Fundamentalism, but why do they deny the record of Jewish Supremacism? It is dangerous hypocrisy.

As for the Protocols of Zion, despite the propaganda, learned by most Americans at a curiously young age, they have not been proven to be forgeries. The supposed proofs are of poor quality and are only considered proofs by those who willingly believe propaganda without doing any critical examination. Most people have never even read the Protocols, and therefore do not understand their significance.

Of course, I deplore the use of the Protocols to legitimate the destruction of the Jewish people during WWII, however, that does not make them forgeries any more than the use of the Bible to legitimate the Crusades makes the Bible a forgery.

It is also unfortunate that I must remind the ADL that Jewish bankers assisted in the development of the Third Reich - the Warburg family and their "American Jewish Committee" in particular. It is also known and accepted that Jewish Supremacists like Jacob Schiff and Max Warburg financed and engineered the Bolshevik Revolution and the subsequent destruction of Russia, a holocaust of even larger proportions than the Nazi holocaust. Leon Trotsky (Lev Bronstein) was often seen darting in and out of Jacob Schiff's New York mansion during the days prior to his dispatch to Russia aboard the Kristianafjord. Jacob Schiff's own grandson has asserted that his grandfather gave the Bolsheviks twenty million dollars in order to accomplish the Revolution. When will the Jewish people begin to acknowledge that their "leaders" had a causal responsibility for some of the Twentieth Century's disasters?

As someone with Russian Jewish heritage who also believes in the Golden Rule, I believe that true responsibility comes from acknowledging our "leaders" causal role as part of a self-analysis and confessional road to forgiveness. Why does the ADL and Tikkun insist on the blamelessness and victimhood of the Jewish people when the historical record so obviously records that their "leaders" were guilty at the highest levels? Why do we protect our "Jewish leaders" and accuse the "German people" as a whole in perpetuity? Isn't collective guilt something we abhor? Why do we feel we have to deny truth in order to be "peaceful?" It's just so sad, so irresponsible, so untruthful and cowardly. Peace comes through responsibility, not denial.

I find myself amazed at the institutional and childish refusal of the "Jewish Peace Movement" to critically self examine and to speak out against the Talmudic and Old Testament injunctions legitimizing racist activities.

It is not I who is hateful, but certain Talmudic and Old Testament doctrines - and those who live by their racist and murderous dictates - who are hateful.

Though, sadly, I fear few will actually examine the documentary evidence I will now provide, I will provide it anyway such that you can see that I have in fact done the research on this topic. I would be pleased to discuss this topic with anyone of you, but the current strategy of intimidation is not a legitimate form of discussion.

Before I close, let me just tell you that the ADL of B'Nai B'Rith has already succesfully insisted that I stop discussing the problem of Jewish Supremacism and the Protocols of Zion on the radio, despite the fact that it is completely relevant to the problem of Israeli spying on America, Israeli influence on American Foreign Policy and Israeli sponsored wars in the Middle East which are resulting in widespread carnage among Americans and of course Iraqis and Arabs.

It appears to be the position of Tikkun that we don't want discussion of Jewish Supremacism because we don't want another holocaust in America. I understand that point of view, but I feel like this position actually results in a more dangerous situation for American Jews because by not speaking out forcefully against the Jewish Supremacists in America and Israel who are promoting these disastrous Middle Eastern Wars, we will appear to be sanctioning their activities.

Cindy Sheehan was right when she said that the war in Iraq was being fought in large part for Israel. Although she has denied saying this, and is probably now in fear of her own words for the same reason I am now being persecuted here in Santa Fe, Slate has demonstrated that she did in fact write those words, they are documented in two separate locations on the web, from two different sources. Senator Fritz Hollings said the same thing about Israeli responsibility for the War in Iraq after he retired.

Victor Ostrovsky, Mossad defector described how Saddam was Mossad's main target starting as far back as the '80s. Sure the oil companies are going along with it, but the lead role in the propaganda for the War in Iraq was taken by Doug Feith and the Office of Special Plans who fabricated the intelligence that led us to war. Doug Feith is well known as a right-wing Likud Party operative and lawyer for the Israeli Jewish settlers and yet you dare to criticize me for discussing his obvious motivation? Do you value truth? Do you really value peace? Do you recognize the role truth plays in the creation of peace? No Justice, No Peace is the old saying. Justice in this case requires acknowledgment of just who the perpetrators of the criminal war in Iraq are and what motivates them.

It is ridiculous to suggest that because of Doug Feith's creation of the fabricated WMD intelligence, American Jews should suffer, but if American Jews with political ability do not take a leading role in exposing this sordid story, we may justifiably end up as suspected collaborators.

The motto of the Mossad is "By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Make War." The Lavon Affair proved that Israeli black operations includes targeting Americans with intent to frame Arabs. When Irgun bombed the Hotel King David, they were dressed as Arabs. Wayne Madsen, former Naval intelligence analyst assigned to NSA has exposed the Mossad involvement in September 11th in detail. See if you can refute any of his evidence or analysis here:

http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/Artstudents.htm

Most people in Washington know the truth of Israel's causative role in Iraq, but they won't speak out for fear of AIPAC. Many American Jews know that this is true, but are scared of the implications. I can understand that, but it doesn't make denial any less dangerous or inadequate as a response. Consider the response of this Jewish American who exposed AIPAC in 1992:

"In 1992, AIPAC member Harry Katz phoned the President of AIPAC, David Steiner, to offer contributions. Steiner proceeded to make several claims, including [that he was] negotiating with then-candidate Bill Clinton over who would be Secretary of State, and had already "cut a deal" with Baker for more aid to Israel.

Unknown to Steiner, Katz taped the phone call and gave the recording to the media, worried that AIPAC's influence had grown to dangerous levels.

Following the release of transcripts of the phone conversation, David Steiner was forced to resign the Presidency of AIPAC."

Now that is courage, and responsibility as well.

We are more likely to end up with a resurgence of anti-semitism worldwide if we do not speak out against the Jewish Supremacists in Israel and America who are promoting World War IV. Yes there are other guilty parties, but we cannot blame the Christian and Muslim Fundamentalists, the Skull and Bones hierarchy, the "corporatocracy" and the sundry other culprits and fail to mention Jewish Supremacism. If we try and silence all those who notice its blatant fingerprints, we will be guilty along with the perpetrators. As someone of Jewish heritage, whose extended family suffered in both the pogroms and the Holocaust, I declare that it is the responsibility of "peaceful" Jews of good conscience everywhere to join Norman Finkelstein, Henry Makow, Benjamin Freedman, Israel Shahak, Jacob Brafmann, Neturei Karta and other Jewish leaders in denouncing Zionism, Jewish Supremacism and the racist doctrines of the Zohar, Talmud and Old Testament.

Ultimately, scripture must be revised as our understanding of God changes. It is now time for us to acknowledge that scripture which calls one race or religion "Chosen" to the exclusion of all other people needs to be revised.

Here is another, by Ivan Fraser:

http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/proof.htm

As an example of Jewish Supremacy in the Bible, here is Ivan Fraser's comment on Deuteronomy:

"Deuteronomy [Chapter 7] reveals the racist, hateful, bloodthirsty and malevolent consciousness of these men who dominated "the Chosen People" and reveals the consciousness of the "God" which they worshipped: 'seven nations greater and mightier than thou [are to be delivered into the Judahite's hands], and: Thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them. . . ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. . . for thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are on the face of the earth. . . Thou shalt be blessed above all people. . . And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eyes shall have no pity upon them. . . And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven; there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. . . Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein. . . etc. Furthermore. . . Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother. . . unto a stranger [non-Jew] thou mayest lend upon usury. . . And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the Name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. . . thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the Lord will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath. . . etc."

It was the above document by Ivan Fraser that first opened my eyes to the well-kept secret of Jewish Supremacism.

Here is another document, perhaps even more capable in its exposition of the case for the authenticity of the Protocols:

http://book-case.kroupnov.ru/pages/library/Waters/

While many of the authors of these documents are Christian, there are several Jewish people who know of and publish articles related to the Protocols. Dr. Henry Makow is one such. Here is one of his excellent articles on the topic:

http://www.savethemales.ca/000334.html

Benjamin Freedman, prominent Jewish defector made a speech about the Zionist effect on World War I and II. It is an eye-opening insider account, to say the least:

http://www.rense.com/general34/amaz.htm

And if all that wasn't enough, this online book by Elizabeth Diling will provide more than enough food for thought for several years research and general introspection:

http://www.come-and-hear.com/dilling/dcontents.html

My relatives suffered too for the sins of the banker-priests and fanatics who masquerade as Jewish leaders. There is no moral monopoly on truth. I have a different strategy for Jewish redemption and self-protection than the ADL does. The ADL's attitude considers intimidation a legitimate form of debate. It is not.

Thanks to some courageous non-Zionist Jewish rabbis we have the below record of Zionist collaboration with Nazism and the Holocaust. The racist and sacrificial politics of Zionism come right out and bite you in this quotation and provide all the justification Jewish people need to publicly denounce the Zionist leadership and its supremacist ideology. My people were sacrificed too, in Russian pogroms and German concentration camps. I have the right to speak on this matter. I have the right to examine and to accurately reveal history, and the responsibility to do so.

Excerpt from Sefer Min Hametzar by Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl ZT"L Dean of Nitra Yeshiva and author of min hametzar

The following is an excerpt from Sefer Min Hametzar (p-92) by Rabbi Michael Ber Weismandel OB"M. The excerpt is a literal translation of the letter the Jewish Rescue Committee in Czechoslovakia received from the Zionist "Jewish" Agency Executive Officers in Switzerland. This was in reply to the call of the Jewish Rescue Committee for help, with Documentary evidence furnished, concerning the fate of millions of Jewish people in Nazi occupied Europe.

"We are writing to remind you of the one factor of which you must never lose sight: that ultimately, the Allies will win the war. After their victory, territorial boundaries will be reshaped, as they were after the First World War. Then, the way will be clear for our purpose. At this time, with the war drawing to a close, we must do everything in our power to change Eretz Yisroel into Medinat Yisrael and many steps have already been taken in this regard. Therefore, we must turn a deaf ear to the pleas end cries emanating from Eastern Europe. Remember this: all the allies have suffered many losses, and if we also do not offer many human sacrifices, how can we gain the right to sit at the conference table when the territorial boundaries are reshaped?

Accordingly, it is foolhardy and brazen for us to negotiate in terms of money or supplies in exchange for Jewish lives. How dare we ask of the allied powers to barter money for lives whilst they are sustaining heavy casualties daily? So, insofar as the masses are concerned: RAK B'DAM TIHJE LAKU HAAREZ, (Eretz Yisroel will be ours only by paying with blood), but as far as our immediate circle is concerned, ATEM TAJLU. The messenger bearing this letter will supply you with funds for this purpose."

After I accustomed myself to the peculiar writing, I trembled when I realized the import of RAK B'DAM TIHJE LANU HAAREZ. But many weeks passed, and I was still confounded by the meaning of ATEM TAJLU. Until one day, it struck me. ATEM TAJIU meant "You escape", for the word "tiyul" (walking trip) was used by them as a euphemistic code for "escape". They meant to say - you fifteen or twenty "party members", escape from Czechoslovakia and save your hides. The price of Eretz Yisroel is the blood of the men and women, hoary sages, and babes in arms, - but not YOUR blood! Let us not spoil this plan by giving the Axis powers money to save Jewish lives. But for you, comrades, I have enclosed carfare for your escape. What a nightmare! The Zionist agent "diplomat" comes to Czechoslovakia and says 'Now is a very critical time. But comparatively speaking, it is not at all critical for you trapped Jews. For there is an emergency of far greater proportions; namely, BINYAN HA-ARETZ (the prize of Modinat Yisrael). Shed your blood cheerfully, for your blood is cheap. But for your blood, the Land (of Israel) will be ours!"

Finally, no expose of Zionism and Jewish Supremacism would be complete without reference to Lenni Brenner's amazing book, 51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis. Here is a revealing book review by William Hughes, read it and weep:

"51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration With The Nazis Edited by Lenni Brenner, Fort Lee, NJ (Barricade Books, 2002) A Review by William Hughes of Lenni Brenner's book, "51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis"

History can be deceptive. It's fair to say that some of the sensational never-published-before documents, in this book, will shock those who have accepted Zionism and its supposed history, at face value, as a political movement that was the hope of the Jews. Lenni Brenner, the intrepid author of "Zionism in the Age of Dictators," reveals disturbing new evidence in his latest effort, that suggest just the opposite. In fact, he makes a compelling case that the Zionist record was "dishonorable." You can consider this excellent tome as a worthy sequel to his first expose' on the myopic Zionist zealots of that bygone era.

For openers, Brenner showed how the Zionists had a long history of shameless cooperation with the Nazis, especially after the dictator Adolph Hitler had came to power in 1933. The Zionists were also in bed, to some extent, with the other members of what later became known as WWII's "Axis of Evil," that included Benito Mussolini's Italy, and Tojo Hideki's Japan. For example, on March 29,1936, Zionists praised Il Duce, and his regime, at the opening of a maritime school, funded by the Fascist government, at Civitavecchia. This is where a Zionist youth group, the "Betar," trained its sailors for the future Revisionist state. The speakers ignored the fact that on Oct. 3, 1935, Italian troops had invaded Abyssinia.

On another front, the "Third Congress of the Jewish Community of the Far East," was held in Jan., 1940, in Harbin, Manchuria, then reeling under a brutal military occupation by the Japanese imperial forces. At that time, too, Tokyo was already aligned with Hitler and Italy's Mussolini, in the notorious Anti-Comintern Pact. Also, keep in mind, that the Japanese's murderous "Rape of Nanking," had occurred in Dec., 1937, and the "Crystal Night" incident on Nov. 9, 1938. Nevertheless, the Zionist confab went out of its way to legitimize the Japanese occupation by certifying it as a guarantor of the "equality of all citizens," in that beleaguered land.

The Zionist also had a trade plan with the Berlin government by which German Jews could redeem their property in Nazi goods exported to then British-occupied Palestine. And to top it all off, the infamous SS-Hptscharf. Adolf Eichmann, had visited Palestine, in October, 1937, as the guest of the Zionists. He also met, in Egypt, with Feivel Polkes, a Zionist operative, whom Eichmann described as a "leading Haganah functionary." The chain-smoking Polkes was also on the Nazis' payroll "as an informer."

Brenner isn't the first writer to address the mostly taboo subject of how the Zionist leadership cooperated with the Nazis. Rolf Hilberg's seminal "The Destruction of European Jews"; Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem"; Ben Hecht's "Perfidy"; Edwin Black's "The Transfer Agreement"; Francis R. Nicosia's "The Third Reich and the Palestine Question"; Rudolf Vrba and Alan Bestic's "I Cannot Forgive"; and Rafael Medoff's "The Deadening Silence: American Jews and the Holocaust," also dared, with varying public success.

After the Holocaust began in 1942, Eichmann dealt regularly with Dr. Rudolf Kastner, a Hungarian Jew, whom he considered a "fanatical Zionist." Kastner was later assassinated in Israel as a Nazi collaborator. At issue then, however, was the bargaining over the eventual fate of Hungary's Jews, who were slated for liquidation in the Nazi-run death camps. Eichmann said this about Kastner, the Zionist representative, "I believe that [he] would have sacrificed a thousand or a hundred thousand of his blood to achieve his political goal. He was not interested in old Jews or those who had become assimilated into Hungarian society. 'You can have the others,' he would say, 'but let me have this group here.' And because Kastner rendered us a great service by helping keep the deportation camps peaceful. I would let his groups escape."

Readers, too, will be surprised to learn, that after the Nuremberg Anti-Jewish Race Laws were enacted in Sept., 1935, that there were only two flags that were permitted to be displayed in all of Nazi Germany. One was Hitler's favorite, the Swastika. The other was the blue and white banner of Zionism. The Zionists were also allowed to publish their own newspaper. The reasons for this Reich-sponsored favoritism was, according to the author: The Zionists and the Nazis had a common interest, making German Jews emigrate to Palestine.

As early as June 21, 1933, the German Zionist Federation was sending a secret memorandum to the Nazis, which said, in part:

"It is our opinion that an answer to the Jewish question truly satisfying to the national state [German Reich] can be brought about only with the collaboration of the Jewish movement that aims as a social, cultural and moral renewal of Jewry- -indeed, that such a national renewal must first create the decisive social and spiritual premises for all solutions..."

Incredibly, Avraham Stern, the leader of the notorious "Stern Gang," late in 1940, made a written proposal to Hitler, by which the Jewish militias in Palestine, would fight on "Germany's side," in the war against England, in exchange for the Nazis help in resolving the "Jewish Question" in Europe, and their assistance in creating an "historic Jewish state." By this date, German troops had already marched into Prague, invaded Poland, and had built the first concentration camp at Auschwitz. The deranged Stern had further bragged about how the Zionist organizations were "closely related to the totalitarian movements of Europe in [their] ideology and structure." Stern's obscene proposal was found in the German embassy, in Turkey, after WWII.

Finally, I think Brenner was right, when he wrote, "This book presents 51 historic documents to indict Zionism for repeated attempts to collaborate with Adolf Hitler. The evidence, not I, will convince you of the truth of this issue...Exposing the Zionist role in the [Nazi] era is part of the scrutiny of the past, required of historians."

All of the above becomes even more important today in light of the critical fact that it helps to subject Zionist Israel to the examination called for by its crimes, past and present."

fascist antizionism = lies and propaganda
propaganda + lies
yet more lies + yet more propaganda

Hey fake ' Leland Lehrman' stop lying about your 'jewish heritage''.
You are not jew, you are one more antizionist nazi scum who lies.

You know who I am ?
I am an American citizen of Arab heritage concerned about the methods and doctrines that the criminal leadership of the Anti-Jewish and Anti-Zionist hierarchy have promoted worldwide.

Those last two comments were the most piss poor attempts at rebuttal on this thread. Shame on you.

Ahmad? Come on Rabbi Kook, we know it's you...

What You Can't Say About Israel in Australia
When the Truth Comes to Town
By ANTONY LOEWENSTEIN

Counterpunch
http://www.counterpunch.org/loewenstein09272005.html

"Melbourne University Publishing should drop this whole disgusting project. If they proceed, I urge the Australian Jewish community, and particularly The Australian Jewish News, to treat it with dignified silence. That is our best response. If, God forbid, it is published, don't give them a dollar. Don't buy the book."

Federal Labor MP MICHAEL DANBY, Australian Jewish News, August 25 2005

I'm currently writing a book on the Israel/Palestine conflict with Melbourne University Publishing (MUP) and it's due to be released in May 2006. After sending my articles on the subject to various publications around the world, I was already used to Jews and non-Jews writing and calling with abuse and outright hatred. After my recent column on the Gaza withdrawal, a Sydney doctor emailed me and asked: "How well do you think you would be doing with a name like yours if Adolf would have won?" and "As far as your book goes, I might just take a page out of Hitler's book on that one."

"The degree of abuse and outright threats now being directed at anyone - academic, analyst, reporter - who dares to criticise Israel (or dares to tell the truth about the Palestinian uprising) is fast reaching McCarthyite proportions", wrote Robert Fisk in December 2000. "The attempt to force the media to obey Israel's rules is now international". The situation has only worsened since 9/11.

In late August, Jewish Federal Labor MP Michael Danby wrote a letter to the Australian Jewish News (AJN) and demanded MUP "should drop this whole disgusting project." He claimed that MUP head, Louise Adler, had made comments about Israel and himself that were plainly false. He wanted to "absolutely disassociate himself" from the book because it would be little more than a "propaganda tract" and "an attack on the mainstream Australian Jewish community."

The exact reason and timing behind his attack remains unclear though after Danby's refusal to answer some innocuous questions of mine in late 2004 his right, to be sure he seemed to be flagging his disapproval of even debating issues related to the Middle East question. This was true to form. He had slammed me in the past and has a long history of attempting to stop open debate on Israel-related matters.

Leaving aside the irony of a Jewish parliamentarian calling for the censorship of a book that didn't yet exist, it's worth remembering Danby is the member for Melbourne Ports, the electorate with the greatest numbers of Jews in Australia [Malcolm Turnbull's Wentworth is not far behind.] He sees his role as defender of the Israeli cause and he articulates what he believes his constituents want to hear.

Online magazine Crikey picked up the story and asked whether it was appropriate for an MP to call for a boycott of an unpublished book. A few days later, Danby responded to Crikey, denied he had called for censorship and labeled my views on Israel "disgusting." He cautioned MUP - at a time when Israel was "making a painful withdrawal from Gazaand when the prospects for peace are improving" against publishing books that he thought inappropriate for the times. It begged the question: did Danby truly believe that publishing companies should only produce work that accepted the status quo on issues, rather than challenging or maybe demolishing them?

The intentions of my book are ambitious. I believe that the Israel/Palestine conflict is the defining foreign affairs issue of our time and yet remains woefully misunderstood. Danby and numerous pro-Israel supporters are clearly confronted by me posing questions about Australia's pro-Israel media, the Howard government's relationship with Israel and America, the role of the pro-Israel lobby, America's relationship with the Jewish state, my experiences in the Middle East, including through the Palestinian occupied territories and Jewish and Arab voices of dissent. I am a Jew who doesn't believe in the concept of a Jewish state, but then, I also don't believe in the idea of an Islamic or Christian entity either. There is surely room for a non-Zionist Jew to write about the true cost of Zionism both on Israel and the Diaspora.

A week after Danby's boycott call, the AJN was filled with letters, including one from Louise Adler. "I am dismayed that a fellow publisher such as the AJN gives space for proposals to boycott ideas", she wrote. "Danby's proposal is inimical to the central Jewish values of tolerance and open debate." Larry Stillman wrote that he fully understood the Danby agenda: "I suspect the book will be central of the predominance of conservative views in the Jewish community about the current state of Israel, Danby included."

The Melbourne Age entered the debate soon after, chastised Danby for denying he had called for my book to be banned and discovered yet more evidence of the MP's history of "venting sight unseen." "In the Jewish publication, The Review, he says of David Hare's Stuff Happens, 'I havn't seen the play, nor will I', then cans it based on a review he read." The leading broadsheet also compared the controversy to Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz's failed attempt to ban Norman Finkelstein's Beyond Chutzpah.

By the following week, the AJN was filled with coverage. A large news story featured another Danby justification for his attack. "If I didn't tell people about it [Loewenstein's book] beforehand, knowing what his views are, would I be representing the people I represent?" he said. The paper's editorial entered the fray. Although critical of Danby's censorship call, the AJN "unequivocally rejects Loewenstein's view of a Jewish state as 'fundamentally undemocratic and colonialist idea from a bygone era'", the public should wait for the book's release "before we decide to consign it to the garbage heap of literature." The letters pages were filled with both supportive and critical contributions, including from Danby himself. My ideas "stink" and he was simply "doing what I was elected to do: speak up for the people I represent." He again disingenuously denied having called for censorship.

A few days later, I received an unexpected call from well-known Jewish comedian Austen Tayshus. He demanded to know why I was writing my book, suggested Israel was a poor, defenceless Middle Eastern state threatened with annihilation, compared me to a German Jew who collaborated with the Nazis during the Second World War and asked why I had the right to air the community's "dirty laundry." I explained that he was clearly so insecure in his position that he felt the need to call and abuse me. I soon ended the call.

A few minutes after posting an entry on my blog about the initial call, I received another one from him. He said he would keep on calling me because I was an "ignoramus" and an "asshole." He suggested we have a public debate, which I declined. He suggested Palestinian Hanan Ashrawi as a moderator (after telling me earlier that she was a "terrorist.") The point of debating a man like this was negligible, for the simple fact that he didn't want to debate me - "a sad and lonely man", in his words - nor actually discuss the issues. He wanted to shout and rant. It may have made him feel good about himself. He clearly needed it.

I told the Green Left Weekly the real fear behind Danby's attack:

"These sort of people don't want discussion, because discussion is threatening. Discussion means that more people are aware, or might become aware, of what actually does go on over there: What does occupation mean, what does it mean that Palestinians often have to wait hours at checkpoints in searing sun, what does it mean that women often have to give birth at checkpoints and often die? They don't want people to know that, for obvious reasons, because it's shameful. And they know if more people find out that kind of stuff, their view about Israel and the relationship between Australia and Israel could change."

During this controversy, I received many supportive emails and even financial donations to my website. Mannie De Saxe challenged Danby to put his words into action:

"If Danby feels so passionate about Israel, and it is obvious that he does, why doesn't he take his supporters, all those vocal Zionists who, together with that publication which should be called the Israeli Zionist Times but is otherwise known as the Australian Jewish News, and move to Israel where Ariel Sharon has said that he needs all the Jews in the Diaspora to come and live to reduce anti-Semitism around the world."

I was extremely lucky that my publisher backed me 100% during this period. Many a publisher, I suspect, would have been scared to receive such vitriol months before the book's release. I received some ugly comments on my blog "you're the nazi Anthony you fucking mental midget. Whose side are you on anyway? THINK about it toolhead" but I remember what John Pilger told me recently; the more they attack you, the more you're having an effect and doing something right.

The difficulty in even raising questions related to Israel proves that serious debate is ever-more essential. The world is slowing waking up to the true reality in Israel and Palestine and Australians are joining the chorus of disapproval.

IDF To Appeal Ban On Using Human Shields
10-12-5

JERUSALEM (Xinhuanet) -- Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said on Tuesday that he would appeal against the High Court of Justice's ruling to ban the use of Palestinian civilians by the army as "human shields" in operations against suspected militants.

Local newspaper Ha'aretz quoted Mofaz as saying that he would stand before the justices to present his arguments which he said would justify continuing the use of "human shields".

The Israeli army have used Palestinian civilians as "shields" during military operations to search houses thought to be booby-trapped or enter homes of suspected Palestinian militants inadvance of Israeli soldiers who sought to arrest the suspects.

Last week, a three-judge High Court of Justice panel ruled that the use of "human shields" was illegal and violated the international law.

The ruling came in response to a petition filed by seven human rights groups.

Following the court's decision, the Israel Defense Forces said it had forbidden the use of Palestinians as "human shields"against possible Palestinian militant attacks or as hostages, but did not rule out using "human shields" which can help avoid "greater damage to local residents, to soldiers and to property."

<<Local newspaper Ha'aretz quoted Mofaz as saying that he would stand before the justices to present his arguments which he said would justify continuing the use of "human shields".<<

But where is some palestinian newspaper saying that homicide bombing is a crime against humanity ?
Where are palestinian peace-activists ?

" Where are palestinian peace-activists ? "

As usual the Zionazis responded to Palestinian peace activists with violence.

Ever since Theodore Hertzl hatched his mad race-hate-state plan Palestinians have been subjected to Zionazi violence. What incentive does that create for "peaceful" negotiation?

==========================

Over 1000 internationals and Palestinians demonstrating for peace and an end to Israeli occupation were attacked by Israeli military in Ramallah today

INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT
December 27, 2001
International and Palestinian peace activists attacked again
[Ramallah, Palestine] Over 250 foreign civilians, from England, France, Italy and the United States, joined hundreds of Palestinians in an NGO-organized march against occupation in Ramallah today. Carrying banners denouncing the Israeli occupation of Palestine and calling for peace and justice, the campaigners marched through Ramallah, past the headquarters of President Yasser Arafat towards a neighborhood of Ramallah under tight military siege.

The procession was met with Israeli tanks, APCs and military jeeps. Israeli soldiers attacked the group with tear gas, concussion grenades and live ammunition fired over the heads of the demonstrators. Twenty-five civilians are reported injured, including 10 European activists.

Today´s attack is one more in a string of violent responses by the Israeli Occupation Forces to peaceful protests and non-violent resistance to the brutality of Israeli occupation.

Sorry it was a type error above - here is correction

Yes, Where are palestinian peace-activists ?

As usual the Nazi-antizionists responded to Jewish peace activists with violence.

Long before Adolf Hitler hatched his mad race-hate plan Jews have been subjected to Antizionist hatemongers violence.
What incentive does that create for "peaceful" negotiation?
==========================

Over 1000 international far-right wingers and 'Palestinians' demonstrating for war and another Holocaust , after slaughtering of Jewish children they
were rightly arrested by Israeli military in Ramallah today

SUPPORT ISM = ISRAEL SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT

Fight back antizionist lies and hate propaganda.

But, the ISM aren't Palestinian -- mostly they're spoiled white kids who joined the organisation to build up some anti-Israel street cred.

SOLIDARITY WITH ISRAEL AND JEWISH PEOPLE
ARABS FOR ISRAEL

Why I love Israel

By an Arab Egyptian, with a Muslim background and an ex-member of one of the most fanatical Islamic groups in the history of Islam (JI).
T. Abdelhamid

I am a typical Arab- Egyptian- with a Muslim background.
As any Arab, I was brought up on hating Israel and the Jews. When I was four years old, the dehumanisation of the Jews everywhere around me led me to imagine them as green ugly people full of evil.

In the age of six or seven my father who was secular and open minded was reading in a history book and he showed me a photo.
This photo will never be erased from my memory as it was for a whole family without clothes and the father was opening of his eyes in a combination of fear, shock and inability to believe what is happening to him and his family.
My dad said to me in this moment “ these people are called Jews and some one is called Hitler put them in ovens to burn them alive”. My dad was telling this from pure historical point of view. I went to my room and wept over this man and these people.
Since then, every thing changed in my mind regarding the Jews and despite the extreme hatred toward them in the media, in the schools, and everywhere around me, I could not hate them and, in fact I sympathised with them.
This creates a feeling in me that I should meet these people, talk to them, and try to understand them.
As I grew up the hatred in my community was increasing but my feelings did not change.
One day, in my school in Egypt, the teacher asked us to draw something called Bahr Albaquar. They told all the students that Israel attacked a kindergarten and killed the Egyptian kids intentionally. They portrayed Israel and the Jews as bloodsuckers who enjoy killing young Arab kids.
I used to draw this on sheet of paper as I was a young student and I had to obey the teacher, but my feelings toward the Jews remained the same and my desire to see them and talk to them had not changed.

Later in my life, and when I was 15 years old, I met in a family occasion with some doctor who used to work in the area of Bahr Albaquar and he told me the shocking truth. The man was telling that this area was a pure military area and the commander of it decided to open a kindergarten for the kids of those who work in the military unite just 48 hours before the Israeli attack and consequently when Israel attacked it they were attacking it on military basis and they never knew of the sudden unpredicted decision of the commander of this military unit.
When I heard this I felt that my whole government was betraying all of us just to make us hate Israel and to portray the Jews as blood suckers.
The moment I heard this story was the moment when I really felt I was betrayed all my life.
I decided not to believe my government any more when they talk about Israel and my desire to talk to the Jews and hear their views from their point of view was even increased.

After this stage I started to join the Islamic movements in the late 1970’s and I actually joined one of the most fundamental Islamic groups back then (Jamaha Islamia). This was the group that produced Alzawahire, the top organiser of Alquaida.
After relatively very short period of time I started to feel that my personality that was open to others, that accepted difference, and that loved peace is changing gradually into a real evil personality.

I felt I will become a real satanic beast if I continued with this group and I started to withdraw from the group “JI” and I developed a new small peaceful sect within the Islamic religion itself. This sect was not only peaceful, but also tolerates difference, and promotes love, care, and compassion to all humans irrespective of their deeds.
According to this sect which follow only the Quran rather than Hadith (written traditions about Mohamed or Sunna) I had totally different view about Israel and the Jews as you will see next.
Based on my interpretation of the Quranic verses which was based on literal pure language interpretation rather than a historical one, I used to love the word, love the meaning, and love the concept of Israel.

Let me now explain this to you in more details.

The word Israel for me was the name of one of the greatest profits that as described in the Quran among those who shed tears when they listen to the words of G-d. Just read the following verse to understand my feeling toward the word Israel:
( Quran 19:58 Those were some of the prophets on whom God did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of ((God)) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.)

As the reader can see, the verse just made me love the word Israel.
Sadly, most Muslims correlate the word Israel to the word “Azraeil” that sound near to Israel but has a totally different meaning as the latter is the name of the ‘Angel of death” that takes the life of people. This created a link in the mind of most Muslims’ children that made them hate the word Israel as it was linked to death so that the first thing they are brought up with is to hate the word “Israel”.

I loved the meaning, because the word Jews in Arabic language is “Yahood”. Even though most Arabs hate this word but for me the case was the opposite for the following reason.
The word ‘Yahood” in pure literal Arabic language is derived from the word “Hado and Hudna” which mean “returned back”. This word , according to the Quran, was given as a gift from G-d to the Israelites when they “returned back” to him. The following Quranic verse describes this moment when the Israelites were called “Yahood” because they “Hado or Hudna” or “returned back” to G-d: (7:156 the Israelites said: "And ordain for us that which is good, in this life and in the Hereafter: for we have turned unto Thee ‘Hudna Ilaik’.").
According to this literal Arabic interpretation, I loved the word ‘Jews” even more and more.
I used to ask people around me why do you hate the Jews while this beautiful word represents those who “returned back” to G-d.
Sadly, I had no answer as the hatred for the Jews among Arabs and Muslims made them blind to any logic.

In addition, to the word Israel and the meaning the word Jews, I also loved the concept of gathering such wonderful nation from everywhere around the earth into their homeland again. For me, according to the Quran, this represented the power of G-d who saved the Jews from the evil of pharaoh (28:4 Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them (children of Israel): their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females to rape them: for he was indeed a maker of mischief 28:5 And We wished to be Gracious to those who were being depressed in the land, to make them guiding lights and leaders (in Faith) and make them heirs).
Furthermore, and again according to the Quran itself, G-d gave the Israelites the land as their promised land (17:104 And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell securely in the land of promise":

The Quran went even further to consider the Promised Land as the permanent inheritance for the Israelites (26:59 Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things (the promised land)
In addition, the Quran considered that G-d wrote the Promised Land to the Israelites as a final contract (5:21 "O my people (the Jews)! Enter the holy land which God hath assigned unto you).

For me, I loved the G-d that saved his people, kept them alive while other and even more powerful nations disappeared, a G-d who kept his promise.

In addition to the above discussion and according to the some other unambiguous Quranic verses G-d will gather the Israelites again into their promised land before the end of the world (Quran [17:104] And we said to the Children of Israel afterwards, “scatter and live all over the world…and when the end of the world is near we will gather you again into the Promised Land”).

This last verse proves that the Quran is declaring that it is the will of G-d himself to gather the children of Israel again in their promised land before the end days. Accordingly, No Muslim has the right to interfere with gathering the Jews in Israel again as this is the will of G-d himself.

The latter verse made me look at Israel as the ultimate representation of G-d’s power and the wonderful declaration of his existence.

My view was that if Muslims are unhappy with these Quranic verses they should not blame me as I am not the one who invented them and if they refused these great meanings about the Jews and Israel they should stand, look to the sky and said to “Allah” we are not happy with your Quran!.

I think the reader can now imagine what can happen to a man like me who preached these views in the midst of the Muslim world. I will not tell what happened to me as it is violent and will be very painful to many readers but I will tell you the end result which was that I left every thing behind me, my house, my car, my good Job in Saudi Arabia and immigrated to the West.

After this relatively religious stage in which I used to preach Islam in a totally different manner, I started to look at the Middle East from a logical point of view rather than a religious view.

This can be elucidated when an Egyptian secular person asked me one day “Why do you love Israel”. I said to him I want you to think in two countries, country A and country B rather than thinking in Israel and Arabs and just be honest to yourself. Then I said to him country A respects you as a human being who can stand against the government, respect your freedom to choose your religion or believe, and the son of its president can not even dare to touch your wife or rape her or otherwise he would punished with no mercy, while in country B your basic human rights are not respected, you have no choice for your religion, and the son of its president can rape your wife and no one will dare to say to him” this is wrong”. Obviously I was referring to Israel by country A and to the Arab world by country B in which human right activists are thrown into prison if they spoke against the government e.g. Saad Eldi Ibrahim, the Human Rights activist, in Egypt, people can not change their religion e.g. In Saudi Arabia and many Islamic countries the death penalty is applied to any one who dare to convert from Islam, and the son of the president can rape the wife of any one and no one can criticise this e.g. Uddai the sun of Saddam Hussein used to do this regularly without any punishment!.

I then asked my friend, which country do you think you should love more….is it country A or country B ?, which country you should respect more … country A or country B, and which country you should defend with your own blood…country A or country B.

The man just could not answer my questions and looked down!

As a man who just want to be honest, I will never forget when Israel Air Forces was above Cairo in 1967 in a war that, as usual, initiated by the Arabs, they could have destroyed the whole of Cairo but they did not do that. This for me represents the highest degree of civilisation ever as I know very well that if the opposite had happened and the Arabs were above Tel Aviv with their Air forces they would not have hesitated for even a second to destroy all of it.

I will never forget Israel the country, Israel the civilisation, Israel the great meaning that put its sons and daughters at risk to select the terrorists who hide in between the civilians instead of killing without discrimination , Israel the democracy that allows all different religions to exist on its land (compare this to Saudi Arabia that prevents any other people but Muslims from practicing their own religions, dose not allow any Non-Muslims to built their temples to pray, or even having their religious books with them).
For these reason I will never forget Israel…….the “Flower” of the Middle East.

When I mentioned the word “Flower” an instant flashback happened in my mind to remember one of the poems I wrote about Israel.

I wrote this poem after I saw a movie called “the pianist” that materialised the suffering of such great Jewish nation.
It was late at night when the movie was over but I could not stop my hands for writing some words to describe the story of Israel…..my hand were shaking and my neck pains were killing me but I continued the story and I wrote :

They want to kill the flower but the flower will never die

Thousands of years ago
a flower was born
it was the most beautiful one among all the flowers
the flower was called Israel

the lord said….this is going to be my flower to witness my name and speak about my might and beauty
I will give her a charming beauty and I will make all the earth smell its perfume

The spikes went jealous and they decided to kill the flower
They injured her many times
And its perfume dropped like tears on its soft papers

The flower went sad and started to die…….then………and all of a sudden…. it awaked and cried… I will never ever die and I will not let the spikes kill me….I will fight with my perfume and resist their evil with my softness…..and the spikes surrounded her….and the flower was groaning in pain
…. the lord listened to her groaning and his voice filled the earth and the skies……”I swear with my holiest name I will never leave you to die ….my most beautiful flower…..and I will make the whole earth smell your perfume and see your charm and beauty”.

The Lord promised her a gift….a new land to grow and blossom
And what the Lord had said …happened…..and the new garden was called .. Jerusalem
And the beautiful flower went to its new land….and it grew and blossomed.
(I refer here to saving the Jewish nation from the Pharoahs when they were in Egypt)

The spikes went crazy……and they swore they will threw the flower out of its new land……and sadly….. it happened
(I refer here to the destruction of the first temple)

The flower was in pain and it complained to its G-d
And the Lord swore.……”I will return you smiling…my beloved flower…. to your land” …. the lord kept his promise…. and the beautiful flower returned back to its garden…..the holist of holies…..Jerusalem…..and it kept growing and it blossomed

Then………...all the spikes united and said….we will not have any mercy with her this time…..….and they started to injure her…..caused her to suffer pain……made her sad…..and finally………… the flower was bleeding her perfume….
And the perfume was smelled everywhere …..
(I refer here to the destruction of the second temple and the dispersion of Jews every where)

The spikes went even more angry…..then they decided to cut its green papers……and defame her…. to make her die and to end its perfume….they did not have mercy with her this time….her perfume dropped like tears…….no one felt for her…..they threw her lonely to suffer her pains….the flower did not find many to feel the pains with her……and its crying got louder and it was heard every where on the earth……and it started to die from the pains.
and ….it surrendered to its fate……… in silence……………………………….
(I refer here to the holocaust)

…and in an inevitable moment of death …….the flower remembered the promise of her G-d…..and it remembered the old spikes ………and its beautiful garden in Jerusalem….and the flower swore to return back to the land that G-d promised her
and the flower tolerated the pains and continued fighting with its perfume……..and it returned back…..believe me it returned back……..after a long journey….to its most beautiful garden….to grow and blossom
…and after the journey of pain and suffering was over… there was no pain any more and her perfume was smelled all over the earth….and the flower lived.
(I refer to the declaration of Israel in 1948)

The spikes are still trying again to kill “the Flower”……but it will never die …….if we gave her our love……if we sacrificed our blood to protect it……..if we spoke loudly every were……….”you will never die our beloved flower….and you will blossom again in the most beautiful garden….on the mountains of Zion……..you will never shed tears any more….as G-d kept his promise”.

When I wrote the poem I sent it to a friend of mine at nearly mid night, it was full of English language mistakes as I translated it from Arabic (my native language), but I could not stop myself from sharing it with my best Jewish friend who is also a “Flower”.

To conclude, as an observer form within the Arab and Muslim world and as a man who just want to say the truth and nothing but the truth, I say it loudly that Israel is the ONLY light of the Middle East.
Israel is the light of love, democracy, civilization, tolerance, and justice and I pray from the depth of my heart that the light of Israel radiates to cover the darkness around it.
It is a dream…..but who knows it may happen.

Do you understand now why I love Israel!

7/June/2004

Shame on all of us who believed we are heros for supporting islamogascist terrorists and their supporters.
Look at how gallantly we discredit and try to tarnish all Jews under code name 'Zionists.'

Don't let it happen to you. Support arab nationalism and islamic terrorism !!

Heil Hitler !!
heil nazimedia!!
- A concerned Anti-Zionist

" Look at how gallantly we discredit and try to tarnish all Jews under code name 'Zionists.' "

At one point you Zionazis almost had me believing that I was a genuine anti-semite. I began to believe that all Jews were murderers, liars and thieves like murdering, lying Zionist bastards such as yourself.

But then I heard about the all the Jewsish groups who oppose the crimes of Zionism. People like the refuseniks and Naturei Karta.

http://www.seruv.org.il/defaulteng.asp

http://www.nkusa.org/activities/speeches/bham022603.cfm

It made me realise that the quest for truth and justice is a universal human quality. I identified with and felt great warmth towards these Jews because they are people of conscience. They are are prepared to stand up against a rapacious and evil ideology. These anti-zionist Jews are my spiritual brothers and sisters.

The evil they fight in this case is Zionism. As proud Jews they realise that Zionism is a disease, a form of mental illness of culture. They see that Zionism is the enemy of their hearts and their religious faith. Their hearts are impervious to your lies because their hearts are pure. This purity transcends Zionisms raucous chorus of race hate propaganda, chants and mantras.

Jews, Arabs and people of all races and creeds recognise that Zionism is a form of Nazism.

In the pursuit of peace, justice and truth we will fight Zionism and its evil influences until we die. We do this to honor all those who have been sacrificed and died in the Middle East on Zionisms altar of racial hatred.

The human spirit will always triumph over race hate ideologies like Nazism and Zionism.

If you don't know that you don't even know your own history.

Hypocritical, dishonest summary of anti-zionists:

1) Nationalism is wrong. Jewish nationalism is VERY wrong. But palestinian nationalism is FANTASTIC.

2) Muslim countries are OK for existing as muslim countries. But the world's only jewish country is WRONG for existing as a jewish country.

3) Violence is wrong. Of course, every country on earth was formed via civil war, takeover, revolution and violence at one point or another. Antizionists are OK with this, EXCEPT in the case of the jewish people. Jewish people have no right to keep a country that involved any violence in forming. But EVERYONE ELSE gets to keep their countries, even if they were violent, which almost all of them were.

4) Killing innocent people is wrong, except if you do it to israeli jews. THen it's OK.

5) Statehood in general is wrong! Except palestinian statehood on top of the jewish state. That's FANTASTIC and we support it!

6) Every single country on earth has immigration restrictions that make it easier for some people to immigrate than others. THis is fine, EXCEPT in the case of the jewish state. We are against the world having a country that opens its doors to jews above non-jews, yet we have NO PROBLEM with countries that are antisemitic against jews that CAUSE THE NEED for a place like israel in the first place.

Anti-zionists intentionally lie and exaggerate Israel's wrongs, because they want Israel destroyed.

Anti-zionists don't want a peaceful palestinian state next to a peaceful jewish state. They want muslims to flood into the jewish state, take over and form the majority, with israeli jews fleeing for their lives by the millions (or staying and probably dying, or being subjected to rule under an islamic majority that absolutely hates israeli jews.)

So - burning a piece of paper with a symbol sketched on it (with crayons) SOMEHOW justifies turning a live human into a pile of rotting flesh....

Is that how Israel works?

here is correction-

We ( antizionist hatemongers ) are not confusing anything.
Our job is to spread disinformation and propaganda.
Don't confuse us with someone who really wants to exchange ideas.

JEWISH CRITICISM OF ZIONISM

Edward C. Corrigan

The Palestinian uprising or intifada and the Israeli campaign to suppress it have caused considerable anguish for many Jews around the world. A large number of Jews have even begun to reassess their support for Israel and critically analyze the ideology of Zionism which legitimates the Jewish state. One example of this phenomenon is a statement that appeared in The Nation on February 3, 1988. It was endorsed by 18 prominent American Jews.

The advertisement called upon American Jews to "dissociate from Israel." It expressed the concern that "the close identification in the public mind between Israel and Jews -- an equation vigorously fostered by both the Zionist movement and the American Jewish lobby, which has come under its control -- threatens to stigmatize Jews everywhere." The ad called for a two-state solution and for negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization.1

============================

The political left should be normal like us raving rightwing fruit cakes.

To become normal like us, in future you should:

mindlessly hate Palestinians and steal their land. All manner of physical abuse is welcome too.

mindlessly hate Arabs in general. They are all Islamofascists; as evidenced by their refusal to do what we tell them, when we tell them.

In keeping with the screaming right wing loon theme:

hate workers and poor people

hate the environment and all things non-artificial

hate human rights and any other confidence tricks that purport the concept of a brotherhood of man

Any Jew who does not do these things is going soft and has obviously been got at by those crazy religious fundamentalists with all their truth and justice mumbo jumbo. As card carrying self-hating anti-semites they lose any right to be part of Team Zion. Hand in your Uzi and kitsch tokens of racial identity. Shame on you fake Jews, you are no better than goyim.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE - FILL YOUR HEART WITH HATE AND JOIN TEAM ZION TODAY - TOGETHER WE CAN CREATE A WORLD OF HATE

AND REMEMBER TO KILL KILL KILL FOR TEAM ZION

TEAM ZION - WE LOVE TO HATE
