"Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. Even denial of Israel's right to exist - obscene though that is - is anti-Zionism, not antisemitism, despite the fact that the route from the one to the other is slippery and steep. We do not serve the fight against prejudice by blurring these distinctions."
Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks
These are the words of Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth - Britain's main body of Orthodox synagogues. Credit is due to the Chief Rabbi for making a clear and unambiguous distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. But as anti-Zionists already know, our opponents never miss an opportunity to conflate the two. In their perception, criticism of Zionism is an act of anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism masquerades as anti-Zionism. Some go further and consider criticism of the state of Israel itself to be an act of anti-Semitism.
Should German citizens complain that they have become bored with being constantly reminded of the Holocaust, then they too will be deemed anti-Semitic. Anti-Semitism is an international mental illness that knows no boundaries. Sacre bleu. Daniel Bernard, the former French ambassador to London is an anti-Semite. His reference to Israel as "that shitty little country" was considered to be "a pure anti-Semitic expression." So incensed by the French envoy's remarks was Gwyneth Dunwoody MP, president of Labour Friends Of Israel, that she felt it necessary to write to Jacques Chirac to demand that Bernard be sacked.
And so it goes on, from the absurd to the extreme, from the Church of England to the LondonGuardian and the British Broadcasting Corporation. The Nation's most prominent religious institution and two major players in the British media are, allegedly, hotbeds of anti-Semitic sentiment, and, according to the Israeli government, the media's 'hostile' and 'biased' coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was a major contributory factor in the rise of anti-Semitism that is alleged to have taken place in Britain during 2005. Journalists who do not present coverage of war in Lebanon in Israel's favour are held to be anti-Semitic, and any investigative journalist who would dare link Israel to the 9-11 attacks on New York and Washington or expose the truth about the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty can also expect to be labelled anti-Semitic regardless of the weight and persuasiveness of the evidence that they present.
While there are clearly many definitions of anti-semitism, anti-Semitism is narrowly defined by Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary as "hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group." Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League states that "those who only find fault with the Jewish people, the Jewish State and the actions of the Jewish sovereignty and never find anything that is positive are anti-Semites under the guise of anti-Zionism and anti-Israel." But as Ted Pike elucidates, the term 'anti-Semitism' has been broadly misdefined for use as a political weapon by those with passionate attachment to Israel, the purpose of which is to silence any legitimate criticism of Israel, Zionism or Judaism. Although anti-semitism is the Zionist's first weapon of choice, it is, however, a weapon that does not legitimately belong to them, as J. Bruce Campbell succinctly shows.
In his 2004 treatise, The Myth of the New Anti Semitism, professor Brian Klug makes the same clear distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism that I emphasised at the outset. Klug demonstrates the logic Zionists use to define anti-Semitism. In simple terms, Zionism is the ideology that supports the existence of a Jewish state, and anti-Zionism is the antithesis of this doctrine. When the Jewish state is criticised for actions and policies that other states practice, Zionist logic decrees such criticism to be 'unfair'. Since anti-Zionism is the antithesis of Zionism, and since Zionism is an antithesis of anti-Semitism, it follows that an anti-Zionist must therefore be an anti-Semite. Klug explains:
"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. To say they are separate is not to say that they are never connected. But they are independent variables that can be connected in different ways."
Professor Klug is correct to dismiss this logic. The arguments that are proffered by proponents of Zionism and Israel are flawed in their basic premise. It is not anti-Semitic to criticise Zionism, the state of Israel, and Jews any more than it is anti-Celtic to criticise Scottish nationalism, Scotland, and Scots. Zionists have been successful in wedding Jewish identity with that of the state of Israel. They have also been successful in blurring the clear and distinctive boundaries that seperate Zionism and Jewishness. To criticise Zionism is to criticise the Jewish people, and to criticise the state of Israel is tantamount to criticism of Jews. Anti-semitism then, when viewed from a Zionist perspective, encompasses the Jewish people, the state of Israel and the ideology of Zionism itself. Put another way, Zionists use Jews as shield and sword - the means to an end. Zionism poses a dangerous threat to the Jew and the non-Jew alike. The doctrine of Zionism is the common enemy of both.
The evidence presented so far shows how anti-Semitism has been misdefined and abused in its application. But what purpose has abusing anti-semitism served? What is the ultimate goal? Christopher Bollyn hit the nail bang on the head with an article written in 2003. Bollyn states:
"As a new global campaign against anti-Semitism is launched, the way Zionists use anti-Semitism needs to be understood: Zionist extremists like Ariel Sharon have always fostered andfomented anti-Semitism for one primary reason to compel Jews to come to Israel. Without anti-Semitism pushing more Jews to Israel the Zionist project is doomed to fail."
Barely eight months after Bollyn published his article Ariel Sharon made an announcement urging all French Jews to relocate to Israel to "escape anti-Semitism." Moving to Israel, said Sharon, was "a must and they have to move immediately". Christopher Bollyn's evidence is supported by Philip Greenspan's observations. As Greenspan points out, it is not unreasonable to assume that Zionists would resort to Machiavellian practices as a means of increasing anti-Semitism. "The anti-Semites will become our most loyal friends, the anti-Semite nations will become our allies", said the founding father of Zionism, Theodore Herzl, demonstrating in the process that he fully understood the machinations of the Hegelian dialectic.
Outbreaks of 'anti-Semitism' prior to invitations for exiled Jews to migrate to Israel are not unusual. In the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Argentinian economy in 2001, Israel pledged to help members of Argentina's large Jewish community rebuild their lives - but there were strings attached. The $20,000 on offer was conditional on those wishing to receive it emigrating to Israel. No relocation = no twenty grand. The Israeli government's offer was heavily promoted in Argentinian and in international media outlets. A matter of weeks later stories began to appear in the Hebrew press warning of a rise in anti-Semitic attacks on Argentinian Jews. Anti-Semitism sells but who's buying? Not too many it seems. Immigration to Israel is at an 18-year-low. Indeed, Israel's Arab minority are reproducing at a faster rate than Jews and therein lies the threat to the Zionist state.
Jews who undertake Aliyahin the hope of escaping anti-Semitism in the host nation cannot, however, expect to live in peace and safety once resettled in Israel since the Jewish state has a serious problem with anti-Semitism. I cannot think of a better definition of the word 'ironic'. There are several other ironies to be found within this report. Efraim Zuroff, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Israel, describes anti-Semitic acts committed inside Israel as an "aberration" before going on to reveal that his organisation "doesn't monitor such cases." But wait...here comes the mother of all ironies. Laura Kam is the spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation LeagueIn Israel. She informs us that the ADL doesn't investigate anti-Semitism in Israel. This represents a 360 degree turn on what the ADL does elsewhere. The self-appointed guardians of the Jews are always quick off the mark to loudly trumpet incidences of anti-Semitism in Europe and the United States yet incidences of anti-Semitism inside Israel are completely ignored. While some might view this as inefficiency on the part of the ADL, I see it as unadulterated hypocrisy of the highest possible order. Beyond chutzpah indeed.
Despite the 'leap' in anti-Semitism that has been alleged to have taken place in Britain, the Anti Defamation League can list but SIX such incidents on their website, and of these six incidents just ONE actually involved the use of physical violence. This is hardly evidence of an epidemic that justifies 'immediate' action by government, the police, prosecution agencies and educational institutes. Indeed, the Israel-based Global Forum Against Anti-Semitism reported that the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the UK had actually decreased to 312 in 2006 from 321 in 2005. The data produced by this source flatly contradicts the statistics compiled by The Community Security Trust, who claim that during 2005 there was a 31% increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents in Britain.
The Israeli government attributed a large proportion of blame to the British media for 'fuelling', what the Israelis claimed to be a rise in anti-Semitism in Britain throughout 2005. The focus shifted somewhat in 2006, and the media were no longer considered to be the villain of the piece. The British media had been replaced by 'critics of Israel', and anti-Semitism had been replaced by 'hatred of British Jews'. MPs demanded that 'urgent action' be taken by government, police, prosecution services and universities, and that there be "international cooperation to prevent the spread of racist material on the internet." But are such drastic actions necessary? Is there a 'wave of hatred' afflicting Britain's Jews? Does the problem exist on the scale that is alleged Have the Germans and Canadians become as hateful of all things Jewish as the British supposedly have? Is there really a new anti-Semitism sweeping the globe?
I have found no credible evidence that would substantiate the claims being made vis a vis the supposed 'rising tide' of anti-Semitism in the United Kingdom. Indeed, the evidence that I have examined indicates the opposite to be the case. Consider the words of Jack Coutts, a fellow Glaswegian who emigrated to Israel last summer:
"There wasn't anti-semitism. Scotland is a good place, very tolerant, but I am concerned about what I see as support for Hezbollah in Glasgow. I was dismayed when someone painted 'Hezbollah' outside the Garnethill Synagogue in Glasgow."
Rabbi Nancy Morris, of the Glasgow New Synagogue says that "Scotland is a friendly place and I have not experienced anti-semitism myself, but some of the commentary around just now is incitement against the Jewish community as well as against Israel." Rabbi Gerald Levin, of the Garnethill Synagogue also paid homage to the Scottish people in general and the Glaswegian in particular when he proclaimed Scotland to be a tolerant nation. As these statements from members of Glasgow's relatively small Jewish community show, Glaswegians are tolerant of Jews. It is with each other whom we Glaswegians are intolerant. In 2003 the European Monitoring Centre On Racism And Xenophobia published a report titled The Fight Against Anti-Semitism And Islamophobia. In the report Rabbi David Goldberg is quoted as saying that claims of a resurgent anti-Semitism are "paranoid and exaggerated." Goldberg also states that "it is far easier and safer to be a Jew than a Muslim, a black person or an east European asylum seeker." In the city of Glasgow it is certainly far safer to be a Jew than a Muslim, asylum-seeker or a Celtic supporter.
"Not less than 30 per cent marry outside the faith and that's really serious. They have, perhaps, for some of their number, integrated and assimilated just a little too well."
What is particularly striking about Janner's statement is that it was made just a few months prior to the Parliamentary Committee Against Antisemitism publishing its report. As we have already seen, several British Rabbis have made statements to the effect of there being no epidemic of anti-Semitism prevalent in Britain. The statements made by the Rabbis are completely at variance with the findings of the Parliamentary Committee. Before we examine the committee's report, let's scrutinise the committee itself.
Conservative MP, Theresa Villiers is of particular interest. Villiers is a rabid Zionist. I've seen this woman on the BBC's 'Question Time' programme several times, and never has she missed an opportunity to promote and defend Israel while at the same time vilifying Muslims. When Villiers is not demanding a 'fair hearing' for her beloved Israel, she's attending Zionist Federation gala dinners accompanied by her New Labour friends Louise Ellman, Andrew Dismore and Lee Scott, all of whom are patrons of The Zionist Federation.
Differences between Britain's two main political parties go straight out the window when it comes to supporting Israel. The Jewish state enjoys massive support within the Conservative Party as well as New Labour. According to the web site of the Conservative Friends Of Israel, over two-thirds of Conservative Members of Parliament are also members of CFI which means that 132 Conservative MPs can always be relied upon to speak-up for Israel. The Zionist credentials of the leaders of both political parties are already well-known. The Liberal Democrats would also appear to be under Zionist control. That Zionists feel able to dictate which laws Britain should and should not have provides further evidence of the extent of Zionist influence that exists within the British political system. Unless this once-great nation frees itself from the shackles of Zionism, it is going to hell in a hand-basket. I barely recognise Britain these days. Whatever happened to this green and pleasant land - this sceptred Isle?
With regard to the supposed rise in 'anti-Semitism' in the UK, a report was published last autumn by The Parliamentary Committee against Anti-Semitism. The report is highly suspect and open to question given the sources from whence the bulk of the evidencewas derived. The president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Director of Communications of the Community Security Trust, and two representatives of the Union of Jewish Students could hardly be considered impartial witnesses. The inclusion of a known Jewishextremist as a witness is on its own, sufficient grounds for questioning the findings of the all-party Parliamentary Committee's report. The thoroughly odious Melanie PhillipsrabidIslamophobe who never misses an opportunity to bash Muslims and their religion. The testimony given by The Board of Deputies of British Jews and The Community Security Trust is also open to question given the close ties that exist between both of these Jewish organisations.
Professor Norman Finkelstein presents compelling arguments which highlight the absurdity of his report. Another excellent critique of this pro-Zionist report can be found on Lenin's Tomb. Since both accounts represent a cogent summary of my own views there is no need for me to express them here. Suffice to say that anti-Semitism is clearly being used as a vehicle for furthering the Zionist agenda here in the United Kingdom. Britain's Jewish community numbers around 300,000, the overwhelming majority of whom have evidently never experienced anti-Semitic attacks or abuse. Channel 4's recent The War on Britain's Jews attempts to paint a picture of a community under siege. That the presenter of the documentay Richard Littlejohn appears to have a preconceived negative perception of Muslims, and that Channel 4 have recently attempted to portray Britain's 4,000,000+ Muslim community in a negative light, both parties could be rightfully accused of bias and selective reporting.
In an article written in 1937 titled How The Jews Can Combat Persecution, the former prime minister of Britain Winston Churchill contends that Jews are partly responsible for the antagonism from which they suffer. Although this particular piece was ghost-written by Adam Marshall Diston, a member of Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, the article nonetheless offers some insight into the thoughts of a man who was a lifelong supporter of Zionism and the Jewish people. Whileany discussion of whether not the Jews themselves are the architects of their antagonism is a moot point, the interests of non-Zionist Jews resident in Britain are not best-served by the blatantracism expressed by Zionist Jews such as AvigdorLieberman. It disgusts me that the dishonourable members of Parliament who have made perceived domestic anti-Semitism such a huge issue are ominously silent when a member of the Israeli government is being openly anti-Semitic. Israel is an apertheid state. Israel has always been an apertheid state. Israel is a racist state, and Lieberman is its epitome.
The vile sentiments expressed by Lieberman are not confined to middle-aged Russian immigrants though. A young Israeli citizen by the name of Orri Joseph Avraham has a chilling message for Gentiles:
"I am a Jew, I am an Israeli, I am a Zionist, and I am both racially and intellectually superior to you, the non-Jew. For your lies, your pathetic stupidity, and your anti-Semitism, your people will suffer under the punishment of the world's future super-power, Israel!
"You seem to forget Israel's nuclear capability. No country will risk getting hit with an atomic bomb, and therefore Israel's survival is assured. We will also, at a certain point in the coming decades, finally realize the need to exercise ruthlessness, and will blow our Arab neighbors to kingdom come. I am sure you will have the joy of witnessing the first example of the latter policy, when Israel takes action against Iran (and perhaps also Syria) in the coming months.
"Jews are superior to dirty-blooded non-Jews like you. While your ancestors were sleeping with the swine in the forests of Europe, my ancestors were building the city of Jerusalem. Israel will come to be the world's newest superpower. It is our destiny, written in the prophecies of god, written in our ambitions, written in our blood!
"Beware, for your kind will come to fear us. The coming 30 years will make your eyes twitch my gentile!
"I am a Jew, you are not. I have the privilege of having god by my side, as well as the world's supreme nation. Perhaps you do not yet see that the worst is awaiting your kind, in the face of the coming Islamo-Christian War, from which my kind will arise victorious.
"I am only 14 years old, but I have enough wisdom to see that you are nothing but a piece of gentile filth. No matter, perhaps god will find it suitable that a terrorist attack will end your misery. I shall personally pray for it to be so."
What I find most concerning about these words is not the actual words, but that they were spoken by a fourteen year-old. That one so young could be a hate-filled, anti-Gentile, Jewish supremacist is truly alarming. This young Zionist adequately demonstrates the Zionist mindset and displays a knowledge of the Zionist agenda that is way beyond his years. Orri Joseph Avraham's young mind was evidently poisoned before it had a chance to fully develop. It is something of an irony that the "superior" intellect this teenager says to be representative of he and his "race" seems capable of spouting only naked hatred for 99.8% of the globalpopulation. And while British politicians work themselves into a frenzy over the anti-Semitism they say is prevalent in Britain, British citizens working in Israeli-occupied Palestine fall victim to violent threats from obnoxious, drunken anti-Gentilites.
Can you imagine the outcry there would be if an Islamic cleric were to publicly denounce Jews by decreeing that "it is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable"? These are the words of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, spiritual leader of Israel's ultra-orthodox Shas party.
Anti-Semitism is often said to be 'the longest hatred' I beg to differ. Anti-Gentilism is the longest hatred.
Britain has become the epicenter for anti-Semitic trends in Europe as traditional, age-old anti-Semitism in a country whose literature and cultural tradition were "drenched" in anti-Semitism has developed into a contemporary mix of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, an Israeli historian said Monday.
The problem of anti-Semitism in Britain is exacerbated by a growing and increasingly radical Muslim population, the weak approach taken by a timid British Jewish leadership, and the detachment of the British from their Christian roots, said Hebrew University historian Prof. Robert S. Wistrich in a lecture on British anti-Semitism at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
"Britain has become the center point for the meeting of anti-Semitic trends in Europe," Wistrich said.
In a wide-ranging two-hour address, the Cambridge University-educated historian, who has just completed a book on global anti-Semitism, traced the roots of British anti-Semitism to its history, culture and literature going back to medieval times.
"Anti-Semitism in Great Britain is at least a millennial phenomenon and has been around for 1000 years of recorded history," Wistrich said.
He noted that the expulsion of all Jews from Britain in 1290 by King Edward I following years of anti-Semitic violence was the first major expulsion of any Jewish community in Europe.
Jews were banned from Britain until 1656, when Oliver Cromwell, who had overthrown the monarchy, authorized their return.
Wistrich noted that a Jewish presence was not required in Britain to produce potent and resonating anti-Semitic stereotypes in classic English literature, including in works by Chaucer, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Dickens, Trollope, T. S. Elliot, and D. H. Lawrence, which he said continues to impact British society hundreds of years later today.
"The authors are conveying and transmitting to a future generation an embedded anti-Semitism whose influence is impossible to underestimate," Wistrich said.
"English literature and culture is in fact drenched in anti-Semitism," he said, adding that British intellectuals fail to understand the long-term impact of this phenomenon.
During World War II, the British refusal to rescue the Jews of Europe and their decision to close the gates of Palestine stemmed not only from a policy of realpolitik but by anti-Semitic sentiments, he said.
"Nothing was to be construed as fighting a Jewish war," he said.
He noted that the famed British wartime leader, Winston Churchill's, record on Zionism was "far from brilliant, rhetoric aside" noting that he promoted the infamous White Paper, which severely limited Jews from immigrating to Palestine during World War II.
The recent controversial contemporary theory of a Jewish lobby controlling American government policies in the wake of the 2003 Iraq War actually had its antecedents a century earlier, and dated back to the infamous anti-Semitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, while anti-Israel activities on British campuses was going "strong blast" in the 1970s, he said.
In his address, Wistrich said that today's British media had taken an almost universally anti-Israel bias, especially but not exclusively on the BBC, with context removed from description of Israeli military actions, and Islamic jihadist activity such as suicide bombing never connected to ideology.
"Under no circumstance will a Palestinian act of terrorism be referred to as terrorist, They are militants similar to the floor-shop dispute in Liverpool whose workers have decided to go on strike," he said.
"Palestinian terrorism is portrayed as a minor pin-prick compared to 'massive' retaliation of this 'rogue' state [Israel]," he said.
"You cannot read a British newspaper without encountering a variant of the libel that Zionism is racism or Zionism is Nazism," he said, describing a culture of "barely disguised hatred" when the subject of Zionism of British Jewry or Anglo-Israel relations is broached, unless they are "the good anti-Zionists."
With the media and the elites skewed against Israel - aided by former Israeli academics who routinely condemn the Jewish state and who have attained "historic dissident status and are listened to as the authentic voice of Israel" - the whole discussion of anti-Semitism had become distorted in Britain, with the accuser becoming the accused, he said.
"The self-proclaimed anti-racists of the [London Mayor Ken] Livingstone brand lead the pack when it comes to the prevailing discourse about Israel and by implication Jews."
"If you bring up the subject of anti-Semitism you are playing the anti-Semitism card and you are [seen as] a dishonest deceitful manipulative Jew or lover of Jews who is using the language of anti-Semitism to disguise hide or silence criticism of Israel," he said.
The tenure of former prime minister Tony Blair - considered to be the most favorable British premier to the State of Israel - was a paradox of the British situation today, Wistrich said.
He said that Blair's support for Israel during the Second Lebanon War was "the straw that broke the camel's back" for a British premier who had already supported the Iraq War and was closely allied with US President George W. Bush, and helped bring about his downfall.
Today, the rapidly growing Muslim community in Britain numbers at least 1.6 million, compared to about 350,000 Jews.
Wistrich faulted British-Jewish leadership for taking a "softly softly approach," which he said was "very strange" and did not bear fruit in contemporary times.
"There is a long tradition of doing things behind closed doors and it is different to break with tradition but it should be broken," he said.
The historian noted that the straying of the British from their Christian roots has also created a changed reality in the Anglo-Israeli relationship with no Bible-based reasons or raison d'etre for a Jewish presence in the Holy Land.
He cited the recent support of the archbishop of Canterbury for the adoption of parts of Sharia, or Islamic law, in Britain - the same country, which, he noted, was once the birthplace of the US evangelical movement.
"The loss of Christian identity in what was the most Bible-believing culture in its day is one of the deeper layers of what has happened here," he said.
He noted some of the biblical remarks of prominent British leaders such as Lord Balfour and Lloyd George would be viewed as anathema today.
"You cannot speak or act that way today, or you would be considered the 'biggest threat to civilization' as American evangelicals are."
"Anti-Semitism is nothing but the antagonistic attitude produced in the non-Jew by the Jewish group. The Jewish group has thrived on oppression and on the antagonism it has forever met in the world."
Albert Einstein - Collier's Magazine - 26th November 1938
"Deep down, I believe that a little anti-Semitism is a good thing for the Jews - reminds us who we are."
'Antisemitism' is no longer what it used to be. Being a dissident activist running an anti-Zionist blog and online encyclopedia, I am used to wholesale accusations of Antisemitism. That comes with the territory. The recent Israel Lobby debate in the US, stirred up by the Walt/Mearsheimer study, made large portions of the public aware of the fact, that an 'Antisemite' in today's use of the term in the media and public debate is no longer someone who hates Jews, but - the otherway round - someone the Jews hate.
Anybody criticising how the IDF is treating Palestinians, the rampant use of torture and extra-judicial killings, the bulldozing of Palestinian homes and orchards, the daily harassment by Jewish settlers of Palestinian kids on the way to school and farmers on their way to their fields, the use of army check points and illegal 'security walls' making life in the occupied territories virtually impossible, the conversion of Gaza - one of the world's most populated areas - into a giant concentration camp without food, water, electricity and medical supplies, the killing of hundreds of Palestinians - most of them children and teenagers - each year, the killing of over 1000 civilians and dropping of over a million cluster bombs onto civilian areas in the recent Lebanon assault, is an Antisemite.
Anybody criticising that AIPAC makes sure that any US rep or senator who dares to vote against a bill that provides Apartheid Israel - each and every year - with 6-8 billion dollars of US tax payers' money will be without a job at the next election, is an Antisemite.
Anybody criticising Israel's role in the false-flag September 11 attacks or in America's decision to invade Iraq - and most likely soon Iran - is an Antisemite.
Even someone just reporting on those important matters without blindly parroting the Lobby's views, is an Antisemite.
In other words, being Anitsemitic is a good thing. We should all wear this label with pride. In fact, we should all wear badges saying 'I'm an Antisemite - All decent people are.'
I am well aware that by writing these lines I give more ammunition to my enemies and possibly shock those readers, who haven't fully overcome 60 years of collective brainwashing, but I am not afraid of any love loss.
What I'm trying to achieve is help fellow activists overcome their deadly fear of being labeled Antisemites.I want them to be confident and turn around - when confronted with this kind of accusation - and say something along the lines of 'You make it sound like being an Antisemite was a bad thing.' It's about redirecting one of the Zionists' most powerful weapons against themselves. Does that make sense?
Apartheid sucks - dismantle IsraHell!
"We Jews, we are the destroyers and will remain the destroyers. Nothing you can do will meet our demands and needs. We will forever destroy because we want a world of our own."
"When Israel’s interests are being considered, Members of Congress act like trained poodles. They jump dutifully through hoops held by Israel’s lobby. The lobby’s most powerful instrument of intimidation is the reckless charge of anti-Semitism."
"The CIA and FBI are tinker toys compared to the ADL. We are beginning to understand something of the magnitude of the ADL's operations. We are beginning to appreciate the vast spy network sprawling over the nation and throughout the whole world. Our imagination is staggered by its apparent control of the avenues of communication. Their secret agents spy upon American citizens. Extensive files and dossiers are compiled on those with whom they disagree. Through their multitudinous controls of the media of communication, they are capable of destroying reputations and silencing all rebuttal."
Senator Jack B. Tenney - Congressional Record: 6th December 1971
Written in the 1960s, this report on the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith by former US Senator and Attorney Jack B. Tenney offers a vivid and detailed description of how the Anti-Defamation League operated in those days. The ADL has vastly increased its' grip on American society in the decades since, and with the advent of the information revolution are better-organised, more efficient, more effective, more pervasive and more dangerous than they ever were in Jack B. Tenney's time.
We are Israelis. We are untouchable. No matter what we do, the international community will not act against us. Oh, there will be talks at the United Nations but we know that the United States will intervene on our behalf. There will be Arab League discussions but we know that no state will take action against us. There will be mass protests and demonstrations; there will be activists and advocates begging for peace; there will be rallies and fund-raisers to help the targets of our bombs. And we know that nothing will make a difference because we are Jews - we are victims of the holocaust. We have suffered such that we have the right to make the rest of the world pay (even though organized Zionism officially declared war on Germany in 1933, long before Hitler’s Final Solution). Because we are victims.
Yes, we know that peoples all over the world have suffered worse crimes than ours, but they were not the Chosen People. We know that over 22 million Russians were killed under Stalin, 15 million Chinese were killed by the Japanese, millions elsewhere in the world suffered the same fate in the bloodiest 20th century.
We know that Zionism is an atheist Marxist creation using Judaism as its weapon; that we were founded upon terrorism and our leaders became Israel’s prime ministers and Nobel Peace Prize winners; that less than 10 percent of Jews worldwide supported the Zionist cause for decades until World War II. We know that the crimes committed by Hitler equally affected Communists, gypsies, the handicapped, and political prisoners. That does not matter - we are special. The rest of the world will not touch us because they are terrified of the label "anti-Semite". World leaders are terrified of this ad hominem even though we are mostly not Semitic peoples. Jews of Israel, the Sephardim Jews, were almost nonexistent when we arrived from Russia, Poland, Austria-Hungary and elsewhere in the 20th century and demanded Arab land. They had spread out and moved on. We did not come from Yemen, Ethiopia or Iraq, but who cares? We are the victims and that is all that counts.
Time and again we wonder at how far American gullibility will take us. We push it to the limits on cable television and get away with it repeatedly. We know that the majority of the world is aware we blatantly lie when we express our "deepest regrets" because "terrorists" were hiding in the villages we destroyed. We even have the gall to pick the same targets as a decade ago, ignoring the cries of outrage from America and the West. We’ll just repeat the mantra "a tragic mistake".
Honestly, we too are rather surprised to see that America patiently sits back and buys our words each time. We have trained our diplomats well, not only in the art of deception to the media, but by using powerful strong-arm, behind-the-scenes tactics to mold the views of US Congressmen and women in our favor.
We have worked on this for decades and it has been perfected for the one place it counts: Our bank America. We rely upon those weapons; we need to create constant conflict so as to receive a perpetual $13 billion annual aid package from the US, including unsecured loans that we have never been, nor ever will be, required to pay back. We are living a dream: What we want is given to us on a silver patter because we are Jews, and we have the holocaust.
The above is only daring in that it is never voiced publicly in the West. The world is watching as Israel incinerates the Lebanese, next the Syrians and Palestinians, then Iran. Diplomats call for peace, a cease-fire, and negotiations. They speak the language of noncommittance. It takes a few brave men and women in leadership positions to dare to speak the truth. Israel is in the position of dominating the US government to an extent never before seen in history, creating a regime who will fully fund a “new Middle East” which in reality means Eretz Israel consisting of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, northern Saudi Arabia and even Cyprus by some accounts.
There is nothing speculative about these plans for hegemony - everything has been laid out, written down, and presented for years. Academics who dare write the facts know that their tenured careers are over. This war will not end with a cease-fire next week. This war will not end with a security zone controlled by the UN. This war will not end if Hezbollah and Hamas disappeared tomorrow. This war will not end as long as leaders and diplomats continue to fear the trump card charge of anti-Semitism by Israel.
So when hundreds of children are torn apart by uranium-tipped missiles provided courtesy of the US government, look in the mirror. Have you dared to offend Israel? Have you risked? Ask yourself what role you may have played in contributing to this global disaster. Nothing will change until you do.
The Life Of An American Jew In Racist Marxist Israel
Before Israel became a state in 1948, Jews worldwide were filled with Zionist propaganda that Israel would be a homeland for all Jews, a refuge for persecuted Jews, a democratic country and the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
I am an Ashkenazi Jew who spent the first 25 years of my life in the United States, the country that has given ALL Jews freedom and the opportunity to prosper -- and prosper we Jews did, to the point that one portion of the Jews (the Zionists) have gained a position of political and economic dominance in the U.S.
To fully understand the story I am about to tell, it is important that you understand what Zionism really is. Zionist propaganda has led the American people to believe that Zionism and Judaism are one and the same and that they are religious in nature. This is a blatant lie.
Judaism is a religion; but Zionism is a political movement started mainly by East European (Ashkenazi) Jews who for centuries have been the main force behind communism/socialism. The ultimate goal of the Zionists is one one-world government under the control of the Zionists and the Zionist-oriented Jewish international bankers.
Communism/socialism are merely tools to help them accomplish their goal.
I was a Victim of Zionist Propaganda
After the 1967 War, we Jews were filled with pride that 'our homeland' had become so powerful and successful. Then too, we had been filled with the false propaganda that Jews in America were being persecuted. So, between 1967 and 1970 approximately 50.000 American Jews fell for this Zionist propaganda and migrated to Israel. I was one of those suckers.
After being filled with all this false Zionist propaganda, I felt that I would have a better chance to succeed in the new Jewish state. There was an added enticement, the spirit and challenge of pioneering and of helping my fellow Jews.
Dual Citizenship
I had no emotional conflict with leaving the U.S. because I was still able to keep my U.S. citizenship and could return to the U.S. at any time. You see, Jews are allowed to be citizens of both Israel and some countries — U.S. is one of those countries. The U.S. government allows a Jew to be a citizen of both U.S. and Israel.
German Americans cannot be citizens of both the U.S. and Germany. Italian Americans cannot be citizen of both U.S. and Italy. Egyptian-Americans cannot be citizens of both the U.S. and Egypt . . . BUT, a Jewish American can be a citizen of both Israel and the U.S. this is a good example of the power the Zionist Jews have over the U.S. goverment.
I Arrive in the "Jewish Paradise"
Before leaving for Israel, a Jewish friend of mine had made arrangements for me to stay a few days with her sister, Fawzia Daboul and her spinster aunt. After arriving at Lod Airport just outside of Tel Aviv, I took a bus to the home of Miss Daboul and her aunt. When I saw Fawzia, it was love at first sight. I started calling her 'Ziva,' her Hebrew name. Ziva is a Sephardic Jewess from Iraq who, like myself, had fallen for the Zionist propaganda and had migrated to Israel. She was employed as a hairdresser.
The Kibbutz
After visiting with Ziva and her aunt for two days, I left to spend 6 months at Kibbutz 'Ein Hashofet' one of the well over 150 such communes then operating in Israel. Since then, many more have been started — especially in the territory taken from the Palestinian Arabs. A kibbutz is a farming and sometimes industrial venture. It is important to explain that Israel's Kibbutz system is a Marxist idea brought to Israel by the Ashkenazi Jews who migrated to Israel mainly from Poland and Russia. These Jews are part of that bunch of Jews know as the BOLSHEVIKS. Before 1917, they were the force that laid the foundation for the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 in Russia and the start of Communism.
Again, I want to point out, even emphasize, that it is some of that same bunch of Ashkenazi, Communist/Socialist Jews who migrated to Israel, gained control of the Zionist Movement and have dominated the government of Israel since its beginning in 1948.
Now, back to the kibbutz -
Prior to 1967, most of the work on the Kibbutz was done by Jews. But, since the 1967 War, the work has been done by Arabs who are paid a very low wage, and by volunteers from overseas. Members of the Kibbutz (all Jews) share all things equally. They receive clothing, food and a small allowance. All profits from the venture go into the Kibbutz account for future use. each of these kibbutz are affiliated with one of Israel's Marxist parties ranging from socialist to hard-core communist.
The Kibbutz I was in was not hardcore communist. Yet, I was happy to leave after 4 months — two months earlier than originally planned. During the time I was working in the Kibbutz, I carried on courtship with Ziva. She was one of the reasons I left the Kibbutz after only 4 months — we were to be married.
Our Marriage Created Problems
The marriage ceremony was held in the Sephardic Synagogue. The ceremony was simple but beautiful. Ziva and I were happy, but our marriage created serious problems. You see, Ziva is a Sephardic Jewess and I am an Ashkenazi Jew. For an Ashkenazi Jew to marry a Sephardic Jew is frowned upon in Israel by the ruling Ashkenazis. To understand why this is the case, you must realize the difference between the Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews.
The powerful Zionist propaganda machine has led the American people to believe that a Jew is a Jew — one race of people and that they are "God's Chosen People". I will deal with the "God's Chosen People" LIE later. First, it is important for you to understand that Jews are NOT one race of people.
There are two distinct groups of Jews in the world and they come from two different areas of the world — the Sephardic Jews from the Middle East and North Africa and the Ashkenazi Jews come from Eastern Europe. The Sephardic is the oldest group and it is they, if any, who are the Jews described in the Bible because they lived in the area described in the Bible. They are blood relatives to the Arabs — the only difference between them is the religion.
The Ashkenazi Jews, who now compromise 90% of the Jews in the world, had a rather strange beginning. According to historians, many of them Jewish, the Ashkenazi Jews came into existence about 1,200 years ago. It happened this way:
At the eastern edge of Europe, there lived a tribe of people know as the Khazars. About the year 740 A.D., the Khazar king and his court decided they should adopt a religion for their people. So, representatives of the three major religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, were invited to present their religious doctrines. The Khazars chose Judaism, but it wasn't for religious reasons. If the Khazars had chosen Islam, they would have angered the strong Christian world. If they had chosen Christianity, they would have angered the strong Islamic world. So, they played it safe — they chose Judaism. It wasn't for religious reasons the Khazars chose Judaism; it was for political reasons.
Sometime during the 13th century, the Khazars were driven from their land and they migrated westward with most of them settling in Poland and Russia. These Khazars are now known as Ashkenazi Jews. Because these Khazar Ashkenazi Jews merely chose Judaism, they are not really Jews — at least not blood Jews.
Throughout their history, these Polish and Russian Ashkenazi Jews practiced communism/socialism and worked to have their ideas implemented in these countries.
By the late 1800s significant numbers of these communist/socialist Jews were found in Germany, the Balkans and eventually all over Europe. Because of their interference in the social and governmental affairs of Russia, they became the target of persecution by the Czars. Because of this, migration of these communist/socialist oriented Jews began. Some went to Palestine; some to Central and South America; and a large number of them came to the U.S.
Political Zionism is Born
In 1897, the First Zionist Congress was held in Basle, Switzerland. At this Congress, it was decided to work toward the establishment of a Jewish state and a search for land on which to build this Jewish state began. Great Britain offered the Zionists land in Africa. Th
