The Definitive Source For News On Jews

‘To minds like these Zionism came with the force of an evangel. To be a Jew and to be proud of it; to glory in the power and pertinacity of the race, its traditions, its triumphs, its sufferings its resistance to persecution; to look the world frankly in the face and to enjoy the luxury of moral and intellectual honesty; to feel pride in belonging to the people that gave Christendom its divinities, that taught half the world monotheism, whose ideas have permeated civilization as never the ideas of a race before it, whose genius fashioned the whole mechanism of modern commerce, and whose artists, actors, singers and writers have filled a larger place in the cultured universe than those of any other people.

– Henry Wickham Steed

Long winds of time have blown away the footprints of the past: so many dreams, so many ideals and hopes, forgotten memories. Not knowing or wishing to know, we live in a separate today, comfortably believing that our tomorrow will only be as it was yesterday.

– How naïve.

Chaim Weizmann

(1874-1952)

Chaim Weizmann was born in Motol, Russia in 1874. He received his education in biochemistry in Switzerland and Germany. Already in Geneva, he became active in the Zionist movement. In 1905 he moved to England, and was elected to the General Zionist Council.

Weizmann’s scientific assistance to the Allied forces in World War I brought him into close contact with British leaders, enabling him to play a key role in the issuing of the Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917 ** in which Britain committed itself to the establishment of a Jewish home in Palestine.

In 1918, Weizmann was appointed head of the Zionist Commission sent to Palestine by the British government to advise on the future development of the country. There, he laid the foundation stone of the Hebrew University. That same year Weizmann met in Aqaba with Emir Feisal, son of Sherif Hussein of Mecca, the leader of the Arab movement, to discuss prospects of reaching an understanding on the establishment of independent Arab and Jewish states.

Shortly after, Weizmann led the Zionist delegation to the Peace Conference at Versailles, and in 1920 became the president of the World Zionist Organization (WZO). He headed the Jewish Agency which was established in 1929.

In the 1930′s, Weizmann laid the foundations of the Daniel Sieff Research Institute in Rehovot, later to become the Weizmann Institute, a driving force behind Israel‘s scientific research. In 1937, he made his home in Rehovot.

Chaim Weizmann again served as President of the WZO from 1935-1946. During the years that led up to World War II, he invested much effort in establishing the Jewish Brigade. He also tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent the issuing in 1939 of the White Paper, which in effect halted Jewish immigration to Palestine.

After the end of World War II, Weizmann was instrumental in the adoption of the Partition Plan by the United Nations on November 29, 1947, and in the recognition of Israel by the United States.

These denunciations of Pharisaic practices have been highly criticized by some writers. They have charged that Jesus and the early church writers presented a false caricature of the Pharisees that is not consistent with what the Jewish sources say about them.
One of the reasons why there may be such sensitivity in this area is that Jesus’ condemnation was not limited to some antiquarian sect with no relevance for Jewish life today. Of all the various Jewish parties that flourished during the Second Temple, only the Pharisees (along with the quasi-Jewish Samaritans!) survived the devastation of 70 A.D. as an identifiable continuing entity. The reconstructed Judaism of the second and third centuries was, in essence, based on the Pharisaic beliefs and practices of pre-70 A.D. Without apology, modern scholars affirm that Talmudic Judaism and modern “Orthodox” Judaism are essentially Pharisaism.

“Pharisaic Judaism became normative Judaism. Its principal features — the synagogue, the rabbi, prayer, Torah study, and belief in the oral law — became the modes of religious expression guiding Jewish life ever since. All Jewish life today, therefore, stems from the Pharisaic tradition and derives its central religious characteristics from it.”8

Jesus and the Pharisees

The most important of the three were the Pharisees because they are the spiritual fathers of modern Judaism.
Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes

Even the Jews of today say that they are descended from the Pharisees. Jesus condemned the Pharisees and their practices.

What brings you to the United States?

I came for the I.P.C., the Inter-Parliamentary Committee that convenes twice a year. It’s a committee that deals with foreign affairs and defense in the Israeli Knesset. We were supposed to meet our counterpart on Capitol Hill, the Armed Forces Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee of both houses, but most of the meetings were canceled because the whole administration, the whole Federal Government, the Capitol, everything, was shut down due to the snow. So we had a couple of improvised meetings with Dennis Ross, some senators, Senator Feinstein, Senator Kyl and others.

You have recently formed the Hatikvah party, which I understand now works in collaboration with the National Union.

The National Union is composed of four parties, and Hatikvah is one of them.

So what is unique about the Hatikvah party and what are your plans for the Hatikvah party going forward in collaboration with National Union, and also on its own?

Hatikvah was a mirror image of a previous party, Moledet, which has been closed down in order to create another union called Jewish Home that eventually didn’t happen due to a last-minute crisis before the election. Hatikvah is a mirror image with the same ideology as Moledet, which was founded by the late Mr. Rehavam Zeevi, it is unique as a non-sectarian right-wing party. This is Hatikvah, it’s neither religious nor secular.

What is your long-term plan for the party? What is your five, ten and twenty year strategy? Do you feel like your party and the parties that you collaborate with will ever have mainstream influence in Israel? Do you feel like it’s possible that you will run the country at one stage and, if yes, how do you plan to get there, short term and long term?

I think we would always be part of a larger group of nationalist parties. The beauty of keeping our ideology non-sectarian is that this group of parties can be the leading body of the political life in Israel. The question of whether or not we will join forces with the Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu will be influenced by our size and by the circumstances.

In the early days of discussions to create a coalition after the last election, it became clear that Netanyahu preferred to take the Labor Party as a coalition partner because as far as I can understand he was aware of the pressure that he was going to sustain from the White House, and he had already decided that he won’t adhere to his ideology. The pressure from President Obama wasn’t a surprise for him, even though when he first came back from the meeting with the American President he looked shell-shocked. But he was not surprised. Maybe the intensity of the pressure was not anticipated by him, but the very fact that he would be under pressure to give up his ideology and to agree to the two-state solution was expected. As we could guess ahead of time, he didn’t stand up, he surrendered. When he constructed the coalition he knew that he wouldn’t be able to rely upon a right-wing coalition, he needed the left-wing component in it to balance it.

In other circumstances, with a better prime minister, maybe one of ours as a candidate, we will be part of the government. If Netanyahu will decide to create a Palestinian state the Likud will be split up again exactly as it was in the time of Ariel Sharon. Netanyahu can, for a very short time, rely on support from the left, Kadima, Meretz and the Arabs but not for a second term or a third term.

Do you feel it’s possible that some members of the Likud, like Moshe Yaalon or Benny Begin could cross over and join your party at any point?

No, I don’t expect them to join Hatikvah or join the National Union. If, G-d forbid, Netanyahu is forced or volunteers to take the decision to agree to a Palestinian state, Likud will break down and some part of the Likud may join a bigger coalition of parties, which the National Union will be part of. I don’t expect Yaalon to join our party but I expect him to be part – maybe to lead the group of parties that will oppose the decision to create a Palestinian state.

Do you actually feel that the Prime Minister’s own positions are different from the policies that he is implementing now or what he has accepted? I mean, do you feel that he is personally against establishing a Palestinian state and he’s playing a political game here? Do you think he’s betraying himself or do you think that his positions aren’t really that solid to begin with?

Netanyahu is a weak leader. He still knows that a Palestinian state is a threat to the very existence of Israel, but he is too weak to stand up to the pressures from the White House. He was ready to declare his acceptance of the two-state solution. Once he has done that he doesn’t want to be regarded as a very weak leader that breaks under pressure, so he is going all the way with the policy that he was forced to make. He didn’t change his mind; he knows how dangerous it is for Israel. For his political career any excuse in such cases is always, ‘so who do you prefer? Tzippi Livni? Would you prefer Ehud Barak? If I would not be here the situation it would be much worse.

Netanyahu is at his best when he’s in the opposition. He’s a very strong opposition leader. He speaks wonderfully. Then he can explain why we should never freeze the building, why we should always be allowed to live everywhere in the land of Israel, why we should never be ready to withdraw from the Golan or from Judea and Samaria.

You’ve heard him argue these positions in the Knesset?

Oh, yes, thousands of times.

The very positions that he contradicts now?

He’s a very beautiful opposition leader; he’s a very weak Prime Minister. He cannot stand to his own ideology or to his own position. That’s why Netanyahu as a leader of the opposition is much better for Israel than Netanyahu as a Prime Minister. When he is the Prime Minister there is hardly any national opposition to such dangerous steps like acceptance of the Road Map or the dictates of it.

What he really believes is totally irrelevant. It’s not as if he is trying everything to fail the two-state solution, he’s actually working for it.

Approximately 80% of American Jews voted for President Obama, and in Israel his approval rating is 3%, at times 4% or 6%, do you feel that this is an indication of a divide between American and Israeli Jewry? And is it possible that American Jewish influence is actually harming Israel’s interests and physical safety?

It is extremely disappointing to see that American Jewry voted for Obama, even though a lot of them realized that he is very bad for Israel. Some of them think it’s good for Israel to be pressed against the wall and surrender to the Palestinian’s demands; the left wing is always there. What is even more worrying is the silent majority, the greater body of American Jews who really care for the State of Israel, but put the American interests first. They thought Obama is good for America. That’s why they voted for him, even though they knew how dangerous he is for Israel. That’s extremely disappointing it is a bad sign in the relations between the American Jewry and Israel.

I was asked by various senators and leaders in both the White House and the State Department about the feeling of Israelis towards Obama. I guess they knew the polls and it shouldn’t be a surprise to them, but I told them that he is regarded in Israel as one of the most anti-Israeli presidents that they have known, maybe the worst since Carter.

It is well known that you’re opposed to prisoner swaps in Israel and the release of terrorists. What would you do about Gilad Shalit? Is there another solution?

Certainly, certainly, I proposed a bill that involves only one small step in order to create pressure over Hamas that Israel declined to create. They embarked upon the path of prisoner exchange discussions without really trying to put any pressure on Hamas. The bill suggested that as long as no visitors are allowed to Gilad Shalit no visitors will be allowed for Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails, except the Red Cross. The government was against it, they put my bill down, because the only option they could see was to surrender to Hamas demands.

Today it was announced that two months ago a group of terrorists were arrested after they crossed from Egypt to the Negev, their plan was to kidnap Israeli soldiers, and they were doing it during the negotiation to release Gilad Shalit. So the next kidnapping was on the way because we were ready to pay the price. This is exactly what they say, ‘It’s the best bargain in the Middle East, why shouldn’t we kidnap more?

If we give them an ultimatum that we will kill Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip from the air and with other methods, if we put economical pressure on them, if we would deny them anything but food and water, we could release Gilad Shalit. The fact that Israelis choose to negotiate so much, after we were the best example for the whole world of a country that didn’t negotiate with terrorists, Netanyahu wrote a book on the subject, he made his political career teaching the whole West how to win the battle against terrorism, and the first step was never negotiate with terror. Now that he is in power he’s doing a lot of it.

Millions of American Jewish dollars are invested in Israel’s PR, in Israel’s image and hasbara. Do you feel that these organizations are effective? What do you think of the idea of creating a news organization like Israel’s answer to Al Jazeera to portray a different side of things in the mass media?

This is urgently needed; right now the budget for hasbara in Israel is less than the Israeli advertising budget of Coca Cola. I would advise Israel to give up one F-15 and use the money that it costs to buy one aircraft, and put it into hasbara, the result would be much better than just another aircraft. And I’m all for aircrafts to bomb Iran, to kill Hamas leaders. I’m all for it, but I know that in nowadays there is an Arab PR effort that causes Israel more danger, more damage, than two or three suicide bombers.

What method do you feel would be most effective?

You can create an international Jewish television station with $120 that’s why I said F-15, it is the same price.

Al Jazeera was started with $150 million.

We can start with that, we need it.

What is your message to American Jewry?

That we have a good chance to stop the plan to create a Palestinian state, and we have a good chance to put it into such a bad state that the American administration will start looking for an alternative plan. We have a good chance that this time they’ll try to remove this option that has caused them so much frustration from the negotiation table and try to seek another option. The other option is that Jordan is Palestine this is what we should push forward as a counter plan for the suicidal plan of the two states of Israel.

We have to, and we can, explain to the world that there already is a Palestinian state, and this is Jordan. Seventy-five percent of the population of Jordan is Palestinian. This is three-quarters of the Jewish homeland that was promised to us in the Balfour Declaration and given to Britain as a mandate over Palestine to build a Jewish homeland. This is the Palestinian state, and they don’t get another state. Once the frustration will culminate to a magnitude that the Americans will say, ‘well, we get sick and tired of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, we will leave it to its own devices,’ it will be our chance to act and to put on the table the alternative.

Do you believe this will happen?

I believe that if this will not happen I don’t know how long Israel will exist. I believe that if Israel will be forced to accept a Palestinian state our days are numbered.

Entangled in a cauldron of hate, Israel resorts to its ordinary citizens to help mend the regime’s image shattered by charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity during its last year Gaza onslaught.

Tel Aviv will launch a campaign initiated by Information and Diaspora Minister Yuli Edelstein, training ordinary people to represent Israel outside the occupied West Bank and present a positive message to the world.

"In the light of Israel’s negative image in the world …we decided to give Israelis who go abroad tools and tips to help them deal with the attacks on Israel in their conversations with people, media appearances and lectures before wide audiences," The Jerusalem Post quoted Edelstein as saying.

The initiative Tsva Hasbara LeYisrael, the Israeli Public Diplomacy Forces, includes distribution of pocket pamphlets at Ben-Gurion Airport and launch of the new Web site, masbirim.gov.il.

Varied groups, ranging from politicians through businessmen and tour guides to youth group delegations and ordinary Israelis, will also be invited to training workshops to be held across Israel.

The decision comes after an opinion poll sponsored by the ministry revealed 91 percent of some 495 Jewish Israelis questioned believed that Israel had a bad or very bad image abroad. (No shit? I thought genocide was okay for the Jew against the goyim)

The survey also showed 80 percent thought Israel was internationally considered overly aggressive and 30 percent said the country had an unfriendly image while 26 percent thought the world saw Israel as undeveloped.

Israel’s occupation-tainted image suffered serious blows after a UN report cast light on numerous counts of war crimes committed by Israeli soldiers during the deadly offensive on Gaza, which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians — mostly civilians.

The UN Human Rights Council’s independent fact-finding commission on the Gaza war charged Israel with deliberate targeting of civilians, using Palestinians as human shields and the killing of fleeing civilians who in some cases were even waving a white flag.

In January, Israel submitted an official report to the United Nations and admitted that its military had "endangered human life" through the use of internationally forbidden phosphorus munitions against Gazans.

According to the document, Israeli forces fired white phosphorus bombs at a heavily populated area on January 15, 2009 in Gaza, damaging a UN Relief and Works Agency compound.

At a recent dinner in honour of visiting Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took yet another rhetorical swipe at Tehran. “Humanity stands before one of its most difficult tests since World War II,” Netanyahu intoned. “The radical Islamic regime threats [sic] the well-being of the state of Israel, the region, and all of humanity.”

Sounding more like an Israeli envoy than the head of a sovereign nation, Berlusconi responded, “My job is to make sure that world leaders do not commit the same error of the past, the error of indifference that brought about the greatest tragedy in history.”

In Defamation, a highly revealing 2009 documentary on anti-Semitism by Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir, Professor Norman Finkelstein noted this strategy of invoking past Jewish suffering to justify future wars. “The irony is that the Nazi holocaust has now become the main ideological weapon for launching wars of aggression,” said Finkelstein, the author of The Holocaust Industry. “Every time you want to launch a war of aggression, drag in the Nazi holocaust.”

Or, to be more precise, every time Israel wants other countries to launch a war of aggression on its behalf, it drags in the Nazi holocaust. In the build-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Netanyahu was one of many Zionists who did just that. In a September 20, 2002 Wall Street Journal op-ed titled “The Case for Toppling Saddam,”3 Netanyahu laid on the guilt trip: “We now know that had the democracies taken pre-emptive action to bring down Hitler’s regime in the 1930s, the worst horrors in history could have been avoided.”

And as he and other Zionists are now doing with Iran, Netanyahu was in 2002 hyping a non-existent Iraqi nuclear threat. Saddam Hussein, he claimed, was “feverishly trying to acquire nuclear weapons.” Moreover, “the deadly material necessary for atomic bombs,” the then former Israeli Prime Minister speculated, could be produced “in centrifuges the size of washing machines that can be hidden throughout the country—and Iraq is a very big country.” To uncover Saddam’s hypothetical “portable manufacturing sites of mass death,” Netanyahu warned that “nothing less than dismantling his regime will do.”

One might think that with over a million people dead and almost five million others displaced in Iraq—and not a weapon of mass destruction to be found—that Netanyahu might be showing some remorse. Instead, he’s beating the drums loudest for an even more catastrophic war with Iran.

That should tell us a lot not only about the man but about the nature of the ideology that drives him. Zionism, like the fictional Jewish parenticide, shamelessly attempts to turn reality on its head.

Instead of acknowledging that it is the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East, Israel and its supporters focus the world’s attention on imaginary threats from its regional rivals.

Rather than apologizing for their crimes against humanity—most notably, the dispossession and virtual imprisonment of the Palestinian people— Zionists arrogantly portray themselves as the defenders of humanity against Islamic aggression.

And instead of admitting that they lied about Iraqi WMD, Iraqi ties to al-Qaeda, Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories, Iraqi yellowcake uranium from Niger, and Iraqi meetings in Prague, Zionist propagandists are busy concocting similarly brazen lies about Iran.

If world leaders are indeed committing an “error of indifference,” it is hardly their supposed resistance to Zionist scaremongering. Rather, it is their indifference to the suffering of Arab and Muslim peoples. Foremost among them are the Palestinians—the ultimate victims of the shameless audacity of Zionism.

“There is no kind of magic to finish it. The only way is to do it the same way they did last time – maybe deeper, and that means more causalities on both sides and maybe for a longer while,” Jeff Gafni.

The ageing father of Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, who was assassinated in Dubai two weeks ago, did not believe that his son died of a heart attack. "They killed him," he repeatedly stated.

In the beginning, the rest of Al-Mabhouh’s family and Hamas leaders believed that he had died as a result of a stroke, as stated in a preliminary report by the Dubai police. It soon became apparent, however, that the intuition of the father was correct.

One week after his death, it was revealed that Al-Mabhouh was killed by a highly trained assassination unit. According to information gathered by the Dubai police and Hamas, a group of seven broke into Al-Mabhouh’s room at the Rotana Al-Bustan Hotel the day he arrived from Damascus where he resided with his family. Al-Mabhouh had entered the emirate using an alias and forged passport.

The group of seven injected the Hamas leader with a poison that mimics the symptoms of a heart attack, leading Dubai police to believe his death was caused by a stroke. When it was revealed that the victim was a leading member in Hamas, and given the repeated suspicions of his father that Mahmoud was assassinated by Israelis, the police sent samples of Al-Mabhouh’s blood to a laboratory in France. After the results confirmed traces of poison, Hamas officially announced that the Israeli Mossad killed Al-Mabhouh.

While Tel Aviv remained silent about the assassination, soon Israeli cabinet members were strongly hinting that Israel was in fact behind the killing. State Minister Danny Hershkovitz asserted that the successful elimination demonstrates that Mossad Chief Meir Dagan is one of the most competent Mossad leaders in the history of Israel. "He is undoubtedly performing his job above and beyond expectations," stated Hershkovitz. "Personally, I believe the Mossad knows exactly how to stop Israel’s enemies. Anyone who lays a hand on Jews is risking his life."

Meanwhile, Minister of Minorities Avishay Braverman proposed, "We should act according to the axiom ‘kill before you are killed’." Al-Mabhouh was murdered on the same day that Israeli Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau was attending an international energy conference in Abu Dhabi.

A highly placed security source told the popular Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot on Sunday: "Al-Mabhouh’s file in Israeli intelligence labels him as a clear and present threat to Israel‘s security." The newspaper claimed that Al-Mabhouh was responsible for fundraising for Hamas, as well as making arms deals and delivering them to Gaza. It further alleged that he was the right hand man to Ezzeddin Khalil, who was in charge of the movement’s finances, and that they worked together to strengthen ties with Iran and Hizbullah officials in Lebanon and Turkey. They also reportedly tapped into rich Muslim circles around the world. Sheikh Khalil was assassinated in Damascus in 2004.

The Israelis are quick to point out Al-Mabhouh is one of the founders of the Ezzeddin Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, and played a principal role in kidnapping two Israeli soldiers in 1989. When he was exposed, Al-Mabhouh fled from the Gaza Strip through the border with Egypt and settled in Damascus.

The assassination in Dubai is categorised by the Israeli Mossad as a "silent mission" — meaning it leaves no evidence leading to Israel. The operation apparently was retaliation to Al-Mabhouh’s resistance activities, and aims to serve a warning to Hamas military leaders who are holding captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. According to the Israeli logic, the mission was also a message that it can reach Shalit’s kidnappers, and aims to demoralise resistance movements, sow doubt in their ranks, and undermine their capabilities.

The Zionist security apparatus appears also to have wanted to bring about a new political environment, since it expects Hamas to respond to the assassination with military action. Hamas’s expected aggression would be employed by Israel to achieve two main goals. First, Israel would blame Hamas for the deteriorating security situation, improving Israel’s standing in the international arena after it was dealt a severe blow by the release of the Goldstone Report accusing it of crimes against humanity. Second, it would give Tel Aviv a pretext to strike Hamas in Gaza, especially in light of Israeli claims that the movement acquired missiles that would change the strategic balance between the two sides.

Since the Mossad is directly under the authority of the Israeli prime minister, he is directly responsible for issuing orders for assassinations abroad.

The Committee of Agency Leaders, whose members include the military chief of staff, the head of military intelligence in Amman, the chief of the Mossad, the head of domestic intelligence (Shin Bet), and the prime minister’s military secretary, draws up the list of candidates to be assassinated.

Since the 1970s and until the failed attempt to kill the head of Hamas’s politburo, Khaled Meshaal, in Amman in 1997, the Israeli military — represented by Sayeret Matkal, which is directly accountable to military intelligence — was in charge of killing Palestinians and Arabs in Europe. The attempt on Meshaal’s life was a turning point in Israel’s assassination policy because it was the first to be carried out by Mossad on Arab soil. The Kidon unit in the Mossad Special Operations Division — known as Kissaria — attempted to kill Meshaal and is most likely to have carried out Al-Mabhouh’s assassination.

The question now is whether Tel Aviv will succeed in luring Hamas into another round of confrontations to serve Israeli interests. Judging by statements issued by many leading figures in Hamas, it appears that the group is very cautious in deciding how to react to the assassination. Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, member of Hamas’s politburo, believes Al-Mabhouh’s slaying indicates Israel’s desire to "change the rules of the game". Al-Zahhar asserted his group’s right to defend itself, but quickly added: "Reaction to the assassination must be weighed carefully." He also said that if the group decides to respond, retaliation would take place inside Palestine, not abroad.

Al-Zahhar stated that in seeking retribution, Hamas would be cautious not to jeopardise its relationship with Arab and Muslim countries. "We limit our confrontation with the Israeli enemy to the occupied territories, but if Israel wants to change the ground rules and open up the world stage for the conflict, it will take sole responsibility for the repercussions," warned Al-Zahhar.

Despite the bravado, it is most probable that if Hamas decides to retaliate, this would indeed take place inside Palestine. According to most experts, the group does not have any military infrastructure overseas. Hamas has never targeted Israeli interests outside the borders of Palestine.

Hamas also knows that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is intent on sabotaging negotiations between Hamas and Israel regarding the exchange of prisoners. On the one hand, Netanyahu rejects Hamas’s demands for the release of detainees. At the same time he is under immense pressure by Israeli public opinion and some security and political circles to close a deal. Hence, the assassination of Al-Mabhouh is an attempt to push Hamas to a more extreme position, in order to blame it for failed negotiations.

JERUSALEM — A Cabinet minister says Israel won’t set up an independent panel to investigate the Gaza war as the U.N. urged.

The General Assembly called on Israel and "the Palestinian side" to conduct "independent, credible" investigations into last winter’s fighting in Gaza. It expected a decision by February 5.

Minister Yuli Edelstein said on Tuesday that a document, which Israel will submit to the U.N. this week, deals only with Israel’s own investigations of the war.

Israel launched the offensive to quash Gaza rocket squads that had traumatized its southern communities.

The steep Palestinian civilian death toll and widespread destruction prompted a U.N. panel to accuse both Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers of war crimes. It urged them to conduct unbiased investigations.

[Notice how the so called “activists” promote the HoloHoax]

—Yossi Klein Halevi, author of ‘Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist.’

Pardon the French here, but damn, sometimes I hate being right…

Years ago I predicted it, to the guffaws of many in my circle, and particularly the ones absolutely convinced that the Vatican (rather than Jewish interests) is the REAL power behind all the shadowy world events we see taking place today.

My prediction was (and remains) that when the Jewish state and her supporters finally get what they want viz-a-viz the destruction of the Islamic world and it comes time for someone to answer for it that she will leave the bill for all the mayhem and suffering at the stoop of the Christian world.

It only makes sense that she would…Think about it–WWIII, truly the “war to end all wars“, pitting the world’s 1.5 billion (+) Christians against the world’s 1.5 billion (+) Muslims, all engineered by Israel through various false flag attacks such as 9/11, helped along by various 5th-column agents and mouthpieces in the western media leading to the collapse of the US (and then the world’s) economy and yet SHE is going to be the one catching the hell for it?

Put poetically , ‘No way, Jose’, it just doesn‘t work that way…

After all, it is the motto of Israel’s intelligence/blackmail/assassination agency Mossad that “By way of deception thou shalt do war.” Why take the blame for a crime you commit when you can pin it on one of your enemies? And yes, Virginia, the Jews view Christians (as well as everyone else) as their enemies. Always have, always will.

That’s how it is with the Chosenites. Rather than them paying the piper for their deeds, someone else becomes the fall guy, and I don’t mean just since ‘48 with the creation of the Jewish state. This is a deeply-entrenched nervous tick they and their ancestors have possessed going all the way back to before the days of Moses, where “the most persecuted people in history“–rather than fessing up to their personal wrongdoings and making genuine restitution–had their sins “forgiven” by taking hold of an innocent animal such as a goat, sheep or cow, laying hands on it (thereby “transferring” the peoples’ sins onto the animal) and then killing it so that the sin is “killed off” along with the slain animal. Having killed the bull, sheep or goat, the Chosenites then “escape” God’s wrath, hence the name “scapegoating“.

And that is exactly what the Jewish state and her supporters are planning to do with the present war on the Islamic world and inevitable catastrophic aftermath. In the end, it will be those maniacal, bloodthirsty Christians responsible for drenching the planet in blood and causing the world’s economy to come crashing down like the Twin Towers on 9/11. In the meantime, having “transferred” the sins from Jewish interests to the Christian community, those responsible for bringing it all about from behind the scenes will be setting themselves up as an economic powerhouse in providing the much-needed capital in rebuilding the recently-destroyed world, using as their base of operations some non-Christian country such as India that–coincidentally, I’m sure–Israel has been playing footsies with a lot lately.

Don’t get me wrong–The “Christian” world deserves everything coming her way. What goes around comes around and you reap what you sow. She willingly got into bed with the devil by letting this beast out of its cage and loosing it on the world a century ago and now, having gotten pregnant with his baby (meaning all the war, bloodshed and suffering she has brought into the world for Israel’s sake) she deserves the excruciating labor she’s about to endure. She had 2,000 years to figure out these people were dangerous and yet like some foolish girl away from mom and dad for the first time who goes to a frat party and gets gang-banged by 20 guys, she’s got no one to blame but herself.

This is not to say the Jewish state and her designated scapegoat artists are in full-blown blame mode just yet. After all they still have plenty more war to make and don’t want to frighten off their Christian mercenaries too soon.

But they are laying the groundwork nonetheless. The move in that direction began a few years ago when the blame for the destruction of Iraq and Afghanistan was placed on “Big Oil“ rather than Israel. The fact that such discussion was allowed to take place within the “alternative media” (and helped along by creatures such as Michael Moore without a mention of Israel) is proof positive that this is the big enchilada they are planning for the end of this apocalyptic venture.

Now, we have a new twist being added to the tapestry that no doubt will be augmented in the years to come, and from no less than Hanna Rosin, contributing editor for a whole slew of pro-Israel publications including The Atlantic Magazine, the New Republic and others. Born in Israel, she is a died-in-the-wool/solid-gold Zionista who pulls out all the stops when it comes to protecting “home sweet home”, including defending (or outright denying) the various massacres her cousins have perpetrated in the region as well as vociferously waging a disinfo campaign in hiding/excusing raw Jewish power in political circles.

As of late Mz Rosin has “made her bones” as a writer (I use that term loosely) pontificating on what horrible creatures Christians are while at the same time making clear her preference for all things Jewish. Her most recent piece appearing in The Atlantic entitled “Did Christianity Cause the Crash?” is quite telling as to where all this is going.

The “crash” she is of course referring to here is the economic house of cards tumbling down at terminal velocity in America. In her piece she center-stages a handful of “prosperity Gospel” churches as the main culprits as to why America’s economy is only barely alive and on life-support.

After reading the title, the first thought any sane person must entertain is that she obviously dipped into the Mogen David a little too heavily before sitting down to write this. Has she not heard the latest breaking news involving characters such as Bernie Madoff or the fact that the financial/banking institutions in both America and throughout the West are held by Jews and not Christians?” I mean, after all, names such as Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Ben Shalom Bernanke et al are not likely the kind you’ll run into at some get-together of Irish Catholics.

The other obvious reaction that one in his or her right mind must experience when considering the title of this piece is the blatant sense of hypocrisy surrounding it. If some daring soul posed the perfectly-apropos question “Did Judaism Case The Crash?” (pointing out that “despoiling” non-Judaites of their property is an old family practice going all the way back to the Old Testament story in the book of Exodus) we all know what the reaction would be from the usual circles. All persons involved with the publication of such a piece, from the Chief editor at such-and-such publishing house to the janitor to the mail carriers who delivered the subscriptions would find themselves the lucky winners of a first-class ticket to hell on earth as a tsunami of Jewish complaints and death threats would ensue.

When it is a Jew making the accusations however (and even with as inane and illogical as the accusations are) and posing the question in such a way that Christians (or anyone else for that matter) are in the hot seat, well, that’s ok. As they have demonstrated on occasions too numerous to count, there is one set of rules for them and another set for everyone else.

It is interesting to note that Mz. Rosin’s curiosity in this matter has somehow brought her to the front door of a few Christian churches in America rather than at the synagogues. In the first case, trying to make the argument that somehow a handful of buck-toothed, greasy-headed Christian preachers with the obligatory speech/intellectual impediment causing them to say such words as “nookular” have somehow managed to cause the meltdown of the world’s largest and most powerful economy rather than the fact that the lion’s share of banking/lending power in the US is firmly in the hands of Jewish interests can only be seen as an example of willful blindness on her part.

But then again, this is how the ball bounces in that peculiar playground known as the Jewish mindset. When one sees the world through Rosin-colored glasses, anything is possible, no matter how inane or irrational. Keep in mind that in the aftermath of 9/11 and how the talk immediately turned to ‘WHY?’ and some dared state the obvious–namely that it was America’s slavish devotion to Jewish interests (land theft and bloodletting) in the Middle East that was responsible–all the well-trained attack dogs from Jewish circles immediately went to work barking out the “they hate us for our freedom“ horse manure. Likewise with the recent interview on Larry King Live, where Congressman Ron Paul dared mention the fact that the reason “they” hate us over there is because America has murdered over a million innocent Muslims in the Middle East and Ben Stein immediately has to categorize Paul’s comments as–surprise, surprise–”anti-Semitic”.

So how is it then that this (assumingly) well-educated woman who writes for some of the biggest newspapers and periodicals in the country comes up with a whopper like this?

Again, it is a very simple explanation–‘By way of deception, thou shalt do war…’, and not just a program of deceiving would-be Gentile victims, but self-deception on the part of the Jewish community itself as well.

As the Jews see themselves, they are the perpetual good guy, beloved by God, incapable of doing wrong. The character played by Jeff Goldblum in the movie Independence Day” of a nerdy, humble, smart, nice Jewish boy who saves the world from a race of maniacal extraterrestrials wasn’t put in the script just for giggles. This is how they view themselves, both on a personal and collective basis.

This being the case, when reality does not jibe with the fantasy world they have created within their own collective consciousness, well then reality must be changed. Therefore as the world’s economy goes into crash mode and the main characters involved in it all have as a commonality amongst themselves the fact they are all members of the most elite and exclusive of all fraternal orders–meaning they are Jewish, well, then the script simply HAS to be re-written, and therefore, enter stage left Mz Hanna Rosin and her ridiculous piece on how a handful of Christian congregations are responsible for all the economic mayhem.

As overly-simplistic as it sounds, the fact nevertheless is that the Jews are a people who base their entire identity (both on an individual and collective basis) on pure fantasy. For thousands of years they have been nursed on this strange hallucinogenic milk of fairy tales involving forefathers who heard voices in their heads telling them to slay their own children, prostitute their wives and daughters, rob other nations of their wealth and land and wage genocide upon innocent, otherwise peaceable people.

This being the case, what more are we to expect from the Hanna Rosins of the world who try to sell a sow’s ear as a silk purse by blaming the world‘s economic problems on a handful of Christian preachers too stupid to pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel? When you are dealing with a group of people who honestly believe WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS the nonsense that the creator of all life in the universe actually holds this microscopic group of self-appointed supermen above everything else in all known creation, why then would they NOT be prone to twisting and bending reality to suit the peculiar vision they maintain in their collective heads? Most people think the reason Jews dominate the business of entertainment and media purely for political/cultural reasons (meaning brainwashing the masses so as to make them more pliable) which is partly true. The truth however is that Jews live in a world of fantasy, which explains why their magnetic pull towards an industry where they can mold reality more to their liking through the artificial means of film and media.

And as bitter a gruel as this latest piece of hallucinogenic journalism is fellow Gentiles, you need to get your gag reflex under control, because as time goes by and the date of Armageddon’s completion draws near, you’ll look back on whoppers like Rosin’s recent piece and see how small they were relative to their larger, more incredible siblings.

The World Through Rosin-Colored Glasses The Ugly Truth

The numbers speak for themselves: There are now 16 Holocaust museums in the United States, from Albuquerque, N.M., to Houston, to Richmond, Va. And these are just the biggest of nearly 150 Holocaust centers all over the country.

The proliferation of museums detailing the story of what happened to European Jewry during World War II has been largely a phenomenon of the 1990s, part of the general increase in Holocaust awareness in the culture at large. But it has by no means slowed: The most recent museum, in Skokie, Ill., opened last spring, while construction continues on a second Los Angeles museum, to open in the summer of 2010.

With a substantial, federally-backed national museum in Washington, critics are increasingly wondering about the need for so many local museums. Even more important, the question of whether these institutions will be able to financially sustain themselves into the future — given the heavy costs of maintaining collections, and the dying off of the Holocaust survivors who founded them — is of great concern to museum directors.

Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon on Tuesday met Tuesday with British Attorney General Baroness Patricia Janet Scotland to protest the slew of arrest warrants issued against senior Israeli officials in the United Kingdom.

A delegation of senior Israel Defense Forces officers recently canceled a planned visit to the U.K. for fear they would be arrested upon landing.

The four unidentified officers, holding ranks from major to colonel, are the latest in a string of Israeli politicians and military officials forced to call off travel to Britain over fears of legal prosecution relating to last year’s offensive on the Gaza Strip.

Britain is one of the European pioneers of universal jurisdiction, a broad legal concept that empowers judges to issue arrest warrants for nearly any visitor accused of committing war crimes anywhere in the world.

Pro-Palestinian activists have sought to use this concept to press charges against Israelis involved in military operations in Palestinian territories, particularly since last year’s Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip. British officials have vowed to change the law.

Ayalon said the warrants issued against senior Israeli officials "make it difficult for the two countries to maintain a normal relationship."

He also stressed that the majority of Israeli citizens have served in the IDF, and as such would be unable to visit the U.K., which Ayalon said would damage British interests as well.

Scotland said she was aware of the urgent need to address the warrants being issued in her country against Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

Ayalon on Tuesday appealed to Scotland to find an immediate solution to the "intolerable" situation, warning that the U.K. legal system’s acceptance of pro-Palestinian group’s lawsuits threatened to "undermine relations" between the two countries.

"If the British law remains unchanged, this would undermine the good relations between the two countries who share common values and interests. The British must bear in mind that these visits serve both countries," he said.

The Israeli delegation had been invited to visit by the British army. But officials said they were forced to call off the trip after their British counterparts could not guarantee that they would not be arrested.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter has become a sore point in relations with Britain. Neither the Israeli military nor the British government would comment.

Last month, pro-Palestinian activists persuaded a London judge to issue an arrest warrant for Kadima leader Tzipi Livni, who was foreign minister during the war in Gaza last year. The warrant was withdrawn after Livni canceled her trip, but the matter strained relations between Britain and Israel.

More than 1,400 Palestinians, including hundreds of civilians, were killed in the three-week offensive, which was launched to stop years of rocket attacks from Gaza on southern Israel. Thirteen Israelis were also killed. A UN investigation accused both Israel and Hamas militants of committing war crimes during the fighting.

The threat of arrest has forced several former security officials to call off trips to London, including a former general who remained holed up on an airplane at Heathrow Airport in order to avoid arrest. Last fall, Defense Minister Ehud Barak fended off an arrest attempt by successfully arguing he had diplomatic immunity.

In Britain, pro-Palestinian groups have condemned moves to reform the law.

"We believe no attempt should be made [to change the law]," said Inayat Bunglawala, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain. "There’s no reason why Israel should be singled out for special treatment. If they’re accused of war crimes, we have a duty – and legislation – to prosecute."

One of the large mental health hospitals in Israel was recently surprised to receive a young, good-looking patient in a psychotic state who was accompanied by a personal security guard, Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Sunday.

The doctors, who asked why the woman was accompanied by a guard, were shocked to learn that she was a Mossad agent and that the security guard was not assigned to her in order assure her safety or protect her life, but to ensure that she not reveal any state secrets in her shaky mental state.

The Mossad guard’s orders were clear: "It is forbidden that the organization’s secrets be passed on to those unauthorized to hear them." The doctors, who are unaccustomed to the presence of a third party during their treatment sessions, were left with no choice but to acquiesce to their demands. In addition, the staff had to receive a security clearance before being allowed to work on her exceptional case.


To their complete amazement, another young woman, also accompanied by a secret agent charged with ensuring that the she not leak any state secrets, arrived at the institution just a short time later. The doctors learned that she, too, is a Mossad agent.

Experts said Saturday that the nature of the young women’s work was most likely the cause of their psychosis.

Secrecy is key in the Israeli intelligence service. The work methods of agents is also left a mysterious for most of the public. The Mossad glossary explicitly states that agents are "handled with secret methods."

"Working under heavy mental pressures and exposure to real threats to one’s life while maintaining daily concern that one’s true identity will be revealed is likely to exact a mental price that could be manifested in a range of psychotic disorders," said Saturday psychiatrist, Dr. Dorit Yudeshkin-Porat, head of the trauma unit at Brull Community Mental Health Center in Tel Aviv.

She added, "Among people with pre-existing genetic predispositions, this type of work could even lead to the development of psychotic states. It is safe to assume that working in the Mossad places the agent under intense daily pressures."

"Perhaps it is connected to their work," said a source Saturday who is familiar with the cases. "Statistically, it could also be a coincidence. If one in a hundred Mossad agents suffers from a psychotic episode, this is no different than the rate of such episodes within the general public."

The Prime Minister’s Office reported in the name of the Mossad, "We do not provide details on the office’s activities."

Israel will begin distributing its entire population with gas masks in two months, though no reason has officially been given by the Israeli government.


No indication or threat has been made against Israel from any country that an attack is planned. No country in the Middle East is believed to be likely to engage in chemical or biological warfare with Israel, either.

The gas mask distribution has, however, raised questions as to Israel‘s potential plans to launch an attack on Iran‘s nuclear facilities. Such an attack could cause an unconventional response from Iran. Iran’s chemical and biological weapons capabilities are currently not known.

Rumors in the Middle East abound that Israel is preparing to rein in Hezbollah through another war on Lebanon. Hezbollah, however, is also not believed to hold any chemical or biological weapons.

The only country in Israel’s region currently believed to have access to a major chemical or biological weapons program is Israel itself, though the country unlikely to utilize them in an attack.

Despite the lack of a viable threat, Israel will begin issuing the gas masks to each of its residents in February. The Israel Defense Forces will manage the distribution. The IDF have engaged the Israel Postal Company to aid in the distribution, a departure from the use of Home Front Command for previous distributions.

In addition to the gas masks, children eight years and younger will receive, for the first time, the Mamtek gas mask.

“We are the only country in the world that produces gas masks for children, and the children’s gas mask we produce is the only one in the world that supplies prime defense for this age group,” Col. Yosi Sagiv,head of the Gas Mask Administration of the Home Front Command, told bacelonanews.net. "All that is left is to hope that it will not be necessary to experience first hand how well these gas masks work," he said.

Goon Squad: 1 month before JFK was murdered, he told the LOBBY to register as agents of a foreign government

POLL: Who Do YOU Think Assassinated JFK? INCOG MAN: Sick of all the BS…

Israel killed JFK: Vanunu: Rediff.com India News

In a startling accusation, Israeli nuclear whistle blower Mordechai Vanunu has alleged that Jerusalem was behind the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, who was exerting pressure on the then Israeli head of state to shed light on the Dimona nuclear plant.

In defiance of a ban on talking to the media and meeting with foreigners, Vanunu is said to have made the accusation in an interview to London-based Al-Hayat newspaper.

As per the interview published in newspaper’s Arabic supplement Al-Wassat yesterday, Vanunu said according to "near-certain indications", Kennedy was assassinated due to "pressure he exerted on then head of government, David Ben-Gurion, to shed light on Dimona’s nuclear reactor".

"We do not know which irresponsible Israeli Prime Minister will take office and decide to use nuclear weapons in the struggle against neighboring Arab countries," he is quoted to have said, adding, "What has already been exposed about the weapons Israel is holding can destroy the region and kill millions."

The whistle blower, who was released in April AFTER 18 years of imprisonment on charges of treason for divulging state secrets, also said that the reactor in Dimona, could become a second "Chernobyl", Israeli media reported. He said an earthquake could cause fissures to the core and that would cause a massive radiation leak threatening millions.

Vanunu warned that Jordan should test the residents along the border with Israel for exposure to radiation and give them pills just like the Jewish state decided to do for its citizens.

Sunday Times reporter held in Israel

Criticising the visit of head of the Atomic Energy Agency, Mohammed el-Baradei, to Israel early this month, he said, "He (Baradei) should have refused to visit Israel (because) he was not allowed to inspect the nuclear reactor."

It was not yet clear how al-Hayat did the interview, which the publication claimed is the first with Vanunu since his release. If it turns out that he in fact gave such an interview in violation of the conditions laid down for his release, severe sanctions might be imposed on him.

An Israeli Justice Ministry statement said "the statements that Vanunu made will be examined and if it is determined that he violated the law or his restrictions, then steps against him will be considered."

"The opinions on Vanunu are divided," said Ra’anan Gissin, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "Some say let him speak and it adds to the ambiguity policy, while others say the more he speaks the more he raises tensions, particularly in the current atmosphere."

Brushing aside the latest allegations, he said that serious people understood that Vanunu was speaking nonsense and his comments on JFK were not worthy of a reaction.

Michael Collins Piper Book – Final Judgment demonstrates the strong likelihood Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad, collaborated alongside the CIA and the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate in the JFK assassination because President Kennedy was working to prevent Israel from acquiring nuclear weapons of mass destruction, a fact that remained a dark secret for decades.

One particular event cast a sickening pall over the entire year, and in doing so reminded us that our world became ever more violent and perverse in 2009. Although this event itself ended in January, its fallout continued and will be felt for years to come. I am referring, of course, to “Operation Cast Lead,” Israel’s attempted liquidation of the Gaza ghetto. The event is significant not only because it was premeditated slaughter, but also because it did incalculable damage did to Israel’s propaganda industry.

This second conclusion might seem strange since the strategy of fabricating Arab aggression to justify disproportionate “retribution” on civilians—or just killing them for the sake of killing them—is standard Israeli policy, one that even predates the establishment of the zionist entity.

The most infamous example occurred in the village of Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948, when zionist forces gratuitously slaughtered 254 Palestinian to terrorize other Palestinians into fleeing their homes. The Haganah later drove sound trucks through Arab areas warning: “unless you leave your homes, the fate of Deir Yassin will be your fate.”

There have literally been scores of massacres and pogroms against Palestinians, Lebanese and other Arabs, and throughout it all the hasbara industry has weathered the outrage. In large part this has been due to the absence of the world wide web and the loyal dishonesty of North America’s zionist media filters.

In Lebanon, for example, the demonized image of paramilitary Hizbullah resistance fighters was invoked repeatedly to excuse a multitude of “defensive” crimes, including the two Qana massacres (1996, 2006). It is during the latter massacre that Israel actually proclaimed genocide as self-defence.

The policy is known as the “Dahiya Doctrine,” so named because Dahiya was a suburb of Beirut that was obliterated in the summer 2006. At the time, Dan Halutz, Israel’s chief of staff said the bombardment of Lebanon was designed to “turn back the clock 20 years.”
From this one application of gratuitous destruction, we come to this statement by Gadi Eisenkot, head of Israel’s northern command:

“What happened in the Dahiya quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on. We will apply disproportionate force on it and cause great damage and destruction there. From our standpoint, these are not civilian villages; they are military bases. This is not a recommendation. This is a plan.” (my emphasis)

We can see how this embrace of mass murder as national policy applies equally to Cast Lead because Yoav Galant, Israel’s commanding officer in the south, virtually echoed Halutz: “[Our aim is to] send Gaza decades into the past.”

In Gaza, there was no Hizbullah. There was no resistance force. There was no force to attack. Not even the rusty boilerplate “Hamas started it” could be sustained, especially since the attack took six months of planning, and Minister of Genocide Ehud Barak even admitted that Hamas rockets had nothing to with the decision to attack.

The reason has everything to do with the Palestinian government’s willingness to extend its ceasefire for another six months, despite Israel’s crippling, illegal blockade of humanitarian aid. This peace offensive could not be allowed to gain traction, so Israel committed a crime against humanity.

What can one say in the face of such perversity? When white phosphorous bombs are deliberately dropped on a school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency? How much outrage can one hurl at the bombing of hospitals or the sniping of children?

So “disproportionate” was Israel’s assault that 1,800 Israelis and Palestinians, including 500 Sderot residents, signed petition calling for end to Cast Lead. Boycott movements are gaining strength. Venezuela expelled the Israeli ambassador and Qatar broke off diplomatic relations. No amount of self-defence double-talk can excuse what Israel did,as if it ever could.

Zionist Control of Britain’s Government: 1940-2009

By William A. Cook

November 20, 2009 "Information Clearing House" — “After so many years of setting the tone, bribing UK politicians and controlling the BBC they (Zionists) are used to being untouchable.” (Gilad Atzmon, “Britain Must de-Zionist Itself Immediately,” Nov. 17, 2009, MWC News).

This week the British people listened to the Daily Mall’s Peter Oborne present, on Channel 4, his devastating account of the Jewish lobby’s control of their government. Now we know that virtually all the principal politicians in the UK of both parties, like their brothers across the lake in our House and Senate, take “contributions” from the Israeli lobby machine ensuring that the Anglo-American mid-east policies follow the dictates of the Israeli government. Gilad Atzmon responded to this report in his article “Britain must de-Zionise itself immediately,” noting that this control has been in place for so many years the lobby feels “untouchable.”

How many years are “many” one might ask? In 1941, the High Commissioner of Palestine, Harold MacMichael, Senior Palestine Mandate officer for the British Mandate forces in Palestine, sent the following “Top Secret” “Memorandum on the Participation of the Jewish National Institutions in Palestine in Acts of Lawlessness and Violence” to the Secretary of State, dated October 16th, a report prepared by The Palestine Police, Criminal Investigation Department:

The memorandum illustrates—indeed, brings into full limelight—the fact that the Mandatory is faced potentially with as grave a danger in Palestine from Jewish violence as it ever faced from Arab violence, a danger infinitely less easy to meet by the methods of repression which have been employed against Arabs. In the first place, the Jews … have the moral and political support … of considerable sections of public opinion both in the United Kingdom and the United States of America … all the influence and political ability of the Zionists would be brought to bear to show that the Jews in Palestine were the victims of aggression, and that a substantial body of opinion abroad would be persuaded of the truth of the contention.

Quite obviously, MacMichael understands that the Mandatory has little power at home over the zealous actions of the Zionists as they manipulate public and political opinion even as they expand their terrorism against the British Mandate government in Palestine. This is an untenable position to be in, responsible for government control and security of those under its authority, i.e. Palestinians as well as Jews, and knowing that the Jews are set on driving the British out of Palestine, and knowing that the home government can offer little help.

The Zionists and their “gangs,” a euphemism for well equipped and well trained military forces, launched a full scale terrorist rebellion against the British by robbing banks, indiscriminate killing of British police, and the assassination of British minister-resident Lord Moyne in 1944. By the end of World War II things got even worse: “The Haganah carried out anti-British military operations—liberation of interned immigrants from the Atlit camp; the bombing of the country’s railroad network; sabotage raids on radar installations and bases of the British police mobile force; sabotage of British vessels … and the destruction of all road and railroad bridges on the borders.” All of this terrorism was conducted against the Mandate Government while the home government remained silent under the pall of Israeli Zionist propaganda (Meir Pa’il, “From Hashomer to the Israel Defense Forces: Armed Jewish Defense in Palestine,” World War II).

But recording the acts of terrorism does not do justice to the conditions the Mandate government faced. MacMichael describes the reality of the forces aligned against the police in Palestine.

A second matter which deeply impressed me is the almost Nazi control exercised by the official Jewish organizations over the Jewish community, willy nilly, through the administration of funds from abroad, the issue of labor certificates in connection with the immigration quota, the forced contributions to funds and the power of the Histadruth. … The community is under the closed oligarchy of the Jewish official organizations which control Zionist policy and circumscribe the lives of the Jewish community in all directions…

Perhaps one of the most frightening observations MacMichael makes comes at the very end of his dispatch: “As matters now stand it seems to me inevitable that the Zionist Juggernaut which has been created with such intensity of zeal for a Jewish national state will be the cause of very serious trouble in the Near East.” Prophetic words indeed.

The memorandum provided by the Palestine Police Department includes approximately 50 0 pages of seized documents from the Jewish Agency and related organizations. These documents reveal the intention of the Zionists that controlled operations in Palestine as they worked to force into existence a Jewish State. “We regard it as our duty to caution you against any attempt to decide on an anti-Zionist solution … We regard it as a duty to utter another warning. Do not postpone the political solution for ten years … The Jews are a nation. The land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. The Jewish State will be established. It is better that it should be established with your help and for your benefit, than against you” (The Jewish Resistance Movement, March 25th, 1946, Rhodes House Archives).

The Mandate Criminal Investigation Department was headed by Richard Catling. Catling’s memorandum begins with an understanding of the “intricate Jewish political, social and economic structure in Palestine.” A series of appendices chart these structures marking in passing that “… the Palestine Royal Commission Report of 1937 understood ‘The Agency (Jewish) is obviously not a governing body; it can only advise and cooperate in a certain wide field.’ But allied as it is with the Vaad Leumi, and commanding the allegiance of the great majority of the Jews in Palestine, it unquestionably exercises, both in Jerusalem and in London, a considerable influence on the conduct of government.” Catling’s frustration with the actual control of the Jews over British policy in Palestine glares through this document: “This powerful and efficient organization amounts in fact, to a government existing side by side with the Mandatory Government…”

The Zionist controlled Jewish Agency actively undermined the legal authority in Palestine even as it operated to undermine support for that government in Britain, placing UK forces in harms way as they attempted to fulfill their authorized responsibilities in Palestine. It also demonstrates the determination of the Agency’s leadership in undermining the very nation that gave it a means of establishing a “homeland” in Palestine through the Balfour Declaration. The wording of that declaration is rarely presented in its full form: “His Majesty’s government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.” The declaration did not intend to establish a Jewish State. Indeed, the wording, “national home,” was used intentionally instead of “state.” Additionally, the first draft referred to the principle ‘that Palestine should be’ reconstituted ‘as the national home of the Jewish people.’ In the final text, the word ‘that’ was replaced with ‘in’ to avoid committing all of Palestine to the Jews only.

Now perhaps we can answer the question, “How many years has the British government been under the control of the Zionist influence?” Three score and ten, the biblical age. Perhaps it’s time that Britain is reborn, free from the shackles that bind it to this corrupt power that flouts international law, wantonly commits crimes against humanity, and in brazen arrogance tells the Nations United to shove its demands to comply with the civilized communities of the world.
