STIFLING IMPORTANT DEBATE
Posted April 7,

No area on Earth is more volatile as is the socially and politically
unstable Middle East. The on-going conflict between Arab and Jew
threatens to engulf the entire world in nuclear conflict. The
recent terrorist activities, even in the repressive regime of
Uzbekistan, and in Pakistan also, both currently allies of the United
States, as well as the increasing friction between Mainland China and
Taiwan, exemplify the potential hotspots all over the world. And
never mind the continuing terrorist plots uncovered here in the US as
well as the UK.
Are these the peace dividends we are now reaping from the
"collapse" of communism? Are these the fruits of the end
of the Cold War? President George W. Bush has lost a golden
opportunity in succumbing to his obsession to serve as a glorious war
president leading our great nation in the war against the terrifying
Iraqi regime. And of course, given our unbreakable and dedicated
devotion to, and support of, Israel, neither our alliance with the
Jewish state, nor its motives or ours, should ever be questioned.
In view of our blown opportunity to lead the world in peace instead of
now serving as its greatest potential threat in terms of initiating
nuclear world war, our insane course of action regarding our foreign
policy relative to the Middle East needs to be reviewed and meticulously
scrutinized. Our mistakes in Afghanistan and Iraq have alienated
the world, and that is not good in such an unstable international
environment. The terrorist attacks upon our land on September 11,
2001, were inflicted upon US for a specific reason, if we are mature
enough to face that reason honestly. The need for this is long
overdue.
It is sobering as well as frustrating to know that our government of
supposedly "We the People" is both socially conditioned and
politically postured to summarily ignore US. Washington is
hopelessly out of touch with the American people. In effect,
Americans have absolutely no representation. The most current and
painful evidence of this is the current debacle exhibited by the Kean
9-11 commission. The commission doesn't even address the obvious
reason for 9-11 known by the entire world and even some Americans, and
can be summed up in one word: Israel.
Politicians are the ones elected, not regular, ordinary workingmen and
women that represent the great majority of law-abiding, tax-paying
citizens. Wealthy upper crust members of America's nobility are the only
ones who have the wealth as well as the wealthy social connections that
can afford to raise the truckloads of cash to feed the corporate
television, radio, magazine and newspaper media to bombard the clueless
masses with worthless political pap that never even remotely considers
the real issues confronting our nation. And among those issues, is
the increasingly important need to re-evaluate our relationship with
Israel.
It should be clear, that insofar as American politics and Washington are
concerned, it's not the squeaky wheel that gets greased, but the most
costly and lavishly adorned one. And when it comes to Israel, the
Israeli lobby in Washington is second in power and also vastly wealthy.
And as any American should know, those with the cash, the power, and the
most effective lobby, are the ones that get taken care of. And
although American-Israeli friendship dates back to Israel's inception in
1948, ".widespread congressional support is rooted in more than
just a long-term relationship," offers an article posted on
FOXNews.com's website dated May 28, 2002. "It is traced to
the power of the collective Jewish or pro-Israeli lobby, a
well-organized, well-funded, extremely active, and extraordinarily
connected group, according to political analysts," offers Kelly
Beauchar Vlahos in her piece entitled, "Pro-Israeli Lobby a Force
to Be Reckoned With." Vlahos goes on, "'They are very savvy
and sophisticated,' said Richard Semiatin, a political science professor
at American University. 'They are extremely knowledgeable and some
of the best lobbyists in the country when they get into congressional
offices.'" Vlahos also quoted former Clinton political
advisor Dick Morris, who said: "It's a little like the special
forces teams who go in to fight in Afghanistan. They're on the ground,
calling in bombers. The planes overhead are the pro-Israeli supporters
across the country, who donate money to campaigns and send letters to
Washington. It's a very effective model and basically unequaled in
the Congress."
The "Jewish" lobby is American Israel Public Affairs
Committee, or AIPAC. The article continues, "'The key to AIPAC's
success is support for the only Western democracy in the Middle East,'
said Josh Block, spokesman for [AIPAC] which boasts over 65,000 Jewish
and non-Jewish members. 'The members support and believe that Israel is
our ally on the frontline against terrorism in the Middle East. When you
are lobbying on an issue that is so clearly the right thing to do, your
effectiveness is high.' Granted, other groups, including the
National Rifle Association, the Cuban American National Foundation and
the American Trial Lawyers Association, all command large audiences and
ready support in the aggressive environment of Washington."
Yet, with an AIPAC membership of only 65,000, representing and lobbying
for a nation with a population of five million, the NRA's membership
almost equals the population of Israel. Israel's population
represents only 63 percent of the population of one of America's
smallest states, New Jersey, or that same percent of the population of
the City of New York. AIPAC is a perfect example of what's wrong
with America, and more specifically, Washington. How can
Washington's second most powerful lobby, a lobby representing 65,000
proxies for five million Israelis on the other side of the Earth, be an
example of republican representative government in a nation of 300
million when the latter literally have no voice? The worsening
Israeli/Palestinian conflict is exacerbating and broadening worldwide
contempt for Israel and its most powerful international protector. And
regrettably, this is heightening the level of across-the-world hatred
for all of the Jewish religion. This is indeed unfortunate,
because although the term "anti-Semitism" is inappropriately
used to both identify an ethnic instead of a language grouping, as well
as all Jews, the instigators and provokers of "Jewish"
nationalism are more correctly described as "Zionists" and not
Jews.
In response to the growing hatred towards all Jews which is continually
aggravated by Zionist outrages recognized as such by the world's
population, many "non-organized" Jewish groups are organizing
out of necessity to differentiate and distance themselves from the
Zionist nationalists provoking hatred towards all Judaism. Once
such organization calls itself Jews Against Zionism. On their
website, in an introductory educational piece entitled, "Zionism
and Anti-Semitism," the organization offers an explanation to
enable understanding as well as discussion and debate: We implore and
beseech our Jewish brethren to realize that the Zionists are not the
saviors of the Jewish People and guarantors of their safety, but rather
the instigators and original cause of Jewish suffering in the Holy Land
and worldwide. The idea that Zionism and the State of "Israel"
is the protector of Jews is probably the greatest hoax ever perpetrated
on the Jewish People. Indeed, where else since 1945 have Jews been in
such physical danger as in the Zionist state?!
Jews are enjoined by their religious laws to be loyal to the country of
which they are citizens. Ever since the destruction of the holy Temple
in Jerusalem and the exile of the Jewish People some two thousand years
ago, we have been enjoined to be scrupulously loyal to the countries we
reside in. One of the great biblical prophets, Jeremiah, in chapter 29
of his book, proclaimed God's message to all the exiled; verse seven
reads, "Seek out the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you
and pray for it to the Almighty, for through its welfare will you have
welfare." This has been a cornerstone of Jewish
morality throughout our history to this very day.
Torah-true Jews wish to live in peace and harmony with their neighbors
in every country among the community of nations, including in historic
Palestine. They deplore acts and policies of violence carried out
by those who, "misusing the name of Israel our forefather, have
substituted the ideal of chauvinist nationalism for the eternal values
of the Torah, the eternal divinely bestowed inheritance of the Jewish
people."
This appeal by true Jews goes largely unheard. The so-called
"Jewish-controlled" liberal media just doesn't exist.
But a Zionist-controlled corporate media does. And a Zionist-led
international banking cartel of 13 zillionaire banking families exists
as well, and has been led by the Rothschild international banking
dynasty for centuries. And if anyone wishes to address this
infinitesimally small collection of scheming criminals, then you have
Rush Limbaugh proclaiming that he doesn't believe in conspiracy theories
while the Zionists chime in shouting "anti-Semitism!"
Jews Against Zionism offer the Zionist modus operandi: It has been the
age-old intention of Zionism to intentionally stir up anti-Semitism
anywhere possible, and even more commonly, to take advantage of any
Jewish suffering anywhere in order to enhance its cause. Indeed,
hatred of Jews and Jewish suffering is the oxygen of the Zionist
movement, and from the very beginning has been to deliberately incite
hatred of the Jew and then, in feigned horror, use it to justify the
existence of the Zionist state - this is, of course, Machiavellianism
raised to the highest degree. Thus, the Zionists thrive on hatred and
suffering of Jews, and seek to benefit thereby through keeping Jews in
perpetual fear, causing them to ignore the true nature of Zionism, and
instead to consider the Zionist state as their salvation.
Most Americans are unaware of the stark differences between Judaism and
Zionism; to most, they are one and the same thing. Imagine their
confusion and amazement should they ever be apprised of this glaring
difference! But who will tell them, our Zionist-controlled
corporate mainstream media? Will it be the Zionists who control
publishing, Hollywood entertainment, newspapers, magazines, radio and
network television, as well as the related news venues? Their
powerful control over US is just as effective as AIPAC's control over
our Congress. Zionists represent neither Jews nor Americans, yet
they control American government as well as American public opinion. And
they do this at the expense of all Jews!
The recent flap instigated by Abraham Foxman and his Zionist
"Anti-Defamation League" against Mel Gibson's film, The
Passion of Christ, is a perfect example of how the powerful word-weapon
of "anti-Semitism" is utilized to poison public opinion.
It also demonstrates Zionism's power. Anyone familiar with Mel Gibson's
life and background knows that he's a devout Catholic, and very
religious. His films also demonstrate a love for freedom and a
great love for this nation and its heritage. No one but a
malicious individual would feign ignorance of these facts, and it is
only pure hatred and contempt for not only Gibson as a person as
exhibited by Foxman and his Zionists, but everything Gibson stands for
as offered through his art. Zionists blocked distribution funding
for Gibson's Christ, but he persevered and went around them. His
smashing success confirms his faith in freedom and the American way, the
concept of which is totally lost on the likes of hateful Zionists like
Foxman.
Jews are beginning to organize against Foxman and his Zionist ilk.
Organizations such as Jews for Morality and the Family Defense Council
support the activism of the previously cited efforts of the Jews Against
Zionism. In a letter to Abraham Foxman, Howard L. Hurwitz,
Chairman of the Family Defense Council, wrote on January 15, 1998, in an
"Open Letter to Abraham Foxman," that there is an old Yiddish
axiom: "Our own Jews will destroy us." Hurwitz goes on:
"You, Abraham Foxman, are that Jew. In the decade that you
have directed a once prestigious and respected organization, you have
defiled it."
Jews for Morality offers on their website, "Most people have the
mistaken notion that the ADL (Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith) is
simply a Jewish defense organization whose purpose is to protect Jews in
the United States from discrimination and physical harm. Nothing
could be further from the truth. In recent years, the ADL, under
the leadership of Abraham Foxman, has metamorphosed into a left-wing
organization that closely coordinates its activities with some of the
most radical groups in America." Now consider the power of the
Zionist lobby as compared with the efficacy of the disenfranchised
American people. Consider the power of the Zionist lobby and the
neoconservative Zionist secret cabal in control of the simple intellect
of George W. Bush. And consider the power and might of the
American military and the desires of world domination by the Israeli
Zionist Likud Party in Israel. Question: Do you feel lucky?
