Hamas and what happens when the Israelis fire back?

 

 

 

The Jews and the Arabs, the Israelis and the Palestinians are often portrayed as two eternally opposite forces locked in battle on a more or less equal arena in one scenario. The other is the overwhelming Israelis as a bulldozer crushing the helpless Palestinians. Both are inaccurate, the latter is a false popular cliché
The main difference between the opposing parties is how their ethical backgrounds have affected their strategy,
This difference negates both above pictures; despite escalation of the difference.
Jewish ethics originated thousands of years ago in at least the period of the early Hebrew kingdoms. To anyone who reads the Bible/OT its obvious they were no-nonsense strict rules. Its pointed out by Jew haters how many times the Judean, Israelites lapses in their ethics. Even in pre-Hebrew legend Abraham's near sacrifice of Issac can be seen as a potential relapse and symbolic of all subsequent relapses. These ethics entered a new phase with exposure to Greek reason after Alexanders conquest. This new paradigm eventually resulted in the writing down of the many books of the Talmud. The Roman defeat of the Jews occurring during this formulation of the Talmud. The end of nationhood brought ethics into focus as a glue to how a people together. Wile adherence was still strict it was now flexible due to the Talmud. Following these books made Jews into people of the book. In the diaspora strengthened ethics and the lack of power held violence in check. Rash aggressive qualities were held in check for so long in the face of violent persecution that Jews were seem as meek. Terrible massacres were seen as judgments from God. This meekness had to be changed of overcome once Jews in Palestine faced Arab rioters. By 1948 the Jewish warrior had arrived yet that character type still faced the now pervasive ethics setup. It created a new compromise we see not only in Israel but spreading into Diaspora. The meekness that characterized Jews exists more in the eyes of Jew haters than reality.
The Arab ethics makeup on the other hand is far different. The Quran has no commentary to guide it, It's freely open to a wide range of interpretations. Today several fundamentalist interpretations dominate especially Wahhabism. That originated in the early 19th century and was the point of view of tribal people with tribal values predating Islam. This aggressive type of Islam contrasts to the intellectual and mystical variants like Sufism (which also predates Islam).
Arab Islam never faced reform in the face of modernity as Judaism and Christianity had.During the Islamic Empire of the 700's-800's Islam was an intellectual religion which readily absorbed Greek ideas of classical times. In in contrast to the Dak Ages in Europe. But a slow decline ensued partly to dynastic breakups of the Caliphate and conquering by Seljuk and later Ottoman Turks from central Asia.
Turkish rule let the Arab version of Islam relapse to pre-Islamic tribalism. There were flowering of Islamic culture like Abassid Baghdad. But Ottoman isolation did not challenge the religion. So it remained on a cocoon preserved in its medievalness,
And then came the rude awakening starting with the French landing in Algiers in 1830. The British took Egypt in 1878. The French took Tunisia.And later with the Spanish took Morocco. Italians took Libya. In World War 1 the British and French tok the rest of Turkish lands of the Arabs. But already Zionist settlers were
in Palestine, as the British called it, 37 years.
Arab culture reaction was first to to incorporate European values but see Islam crumble before them revived fundamentalism. Without a reform of an enhanced Qur'an Islam had no flexibleness to counterbalance the values of the WEST. And these values have been shown to erode and/or destroy native cultures all over the world. There were efforts to reform Islam but retrogression of tribal fundamentalism trumped all.
In British Palestine violence broke out unlike when it was Turkish Syria. Arabs actually attacked Jews for being who they were. They were importers of Western values who might outnumber the Arab. Arab aggression increased in leaps and bounds is all Arab lands where European influence existed. First Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon achieved semi-independence promised by the colonial powers. After World War 2 the Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and the semi-independence in the East ended with full independence. All started as attempts at democracy but all lapsed into dictatorships. preserving power was more important than spreading it around. What was particular about the Arab outlook was its aggressiveness in destroying the Jews in Palestine. In succeeding years many alliances tried to destroy Israel. In that effort the Arab State created by the UN in 1947 was totally ignored and dismembered with parts handed to Egypt and Jordan.These Arabs didnt even have an identity for at least 16 years when Yasir Arafat created "the Palestinians". Violence prone attitudes of Arabs made for an alliance of Arab Palestinians (later Palestinians) and the surrounding Arab states in the form of fedayeen raids from Jordan and Gaza. They were almost always attacks on civilians as the Israeli military was protected against attacks, This policy continues today as PLO attacks (Black September and many other groups) and later Hamas (and others like Al Aqsa, Islamic Jihad, etc) attacks were always against civilians. Civilians like the Olympic athletes in Much, airline passengers in Entebbe and many similar attacks. Arab violence went up a notch during the First Intifada. As reckless rock throwing children and adults were allowed to attack IDF troops. So when the Oslo agreement was reached the Arab effort to drive the "Jews into the Sea" fell unto Hamas. They upped the ante by introducing suicide bombing. People usually uninformed indoctrinated youth were made into living bombs and sent into Israel. During the second intifada other groups joined in this effort thinking they could get the Jews to leave.
Israelis reacted by building wall and ended their 2nd intifada. But the new Arab philosophy of self sacrifice manifested itself in Gaza and the West Bank, It became standard policy for the Palestinian militants (or terrorists) to try to get as many of their fellow Palestinians killed in battles with the IDF as possible. So today they fire from mosques, apartment buildings, schools shelters, crowds, markets, stores in an effort to get the Israelis to fire back on their positions.Ammo caches are kept purposely in civilian areas. Israel must manuever to pinpoint neutralize the opposition. Thats not easy. Colonel Kemp of the British forces in Afghanistan in studying the situation remarked the Gaza operation was the most humane military operation in HISTORY! But in war many civilians still died. Much less than Iraq or the Lebanese Civil War. But the world puts the Israeli arab in a different category quite unfairly.The Arabs feel the perception of themselves as victims rather than the true picture as aggressors is more important to the Palestinian (really Islamic ) cause than the lives of Gazans/Palestinians. This strategy was very similar in the Hezbullah Lebanon war. There Hezbullah had ammo caches in apartment buildings as well. It's obviously a desperate strategy this disregard for human life. This aggressiveness has spread once again around the globe in the Al Qaeda movement where bombings, plots as well as indoctrinated lone mass shooters have rained violence from the Philipines to Denmark and the USA. The Qur'an itself has been interpreted to reveal an afterlife of 72 virgins in a luscious paradise to ever person to sacrifices his or her life for the jihad against the values of the WEST and the Jews.The Prime Minister of Israel remarked in 1969 on the Arab disregard for their own children in the struggle against Israel, This is chillingly prophetic with the suicide bombing strategy 26 years later.

The Flags of those committed to the destruction of Israel

The question is often asked; why can't Israel seek peace? The responsibility of seeking peace at one time rested with the Arab nations surrounding Israel. Why can't they accept Israel into the pantheon of accepted states?? Why did they go to such extremes as sending in 5 Arab Armies to wipe out any attempt to create the tiniest sliver of non-Muslim state in 1948? Or why did Egypt, Jordan and Syria attempt this again in 1967??

 

Each effort was rewarded with a larger non-Muslim entity of Israel. Often the denial, outrage, and anger is expressed as the expression "Zionist entity"; because they cannot face reality and actually say Israel. When Sadat when to Jerusalem in 1977 I remember how unusual it was for him or any Arab to say "Israel"!



after it had leaked out that Israel had "the Bomb" The strategy of Muslim states destroying Israel in a standard war had to be reevaluated and when it was abandoned. The "Islamic cabal" who could not accept Israel changed tactics somewhat.



In the British Mandate of Palestine there were the Jews and the Arabs. When the UN set up the bi-national state it was to be composed of Jewish and Arab states. Never was there a mention of a nationality called Palestinian. Both Jews and Arab were called Palestinians. After the 1948 war There was Israel, but no Arab State; not even in Arab Palestine. Egypt took Gaza and Transjordan to the West Bank. Since that state was not both sides of the river it was renamed Jordan. After losing the West Bank, for some reason they remain Jordan. They ceded all rights to the Palestinians.



A deliberate policy of blaming the Palestinians (the victims) for their stateless plight and ostracizing them ensued. Even today Palestinians are refused citizenship in countries like Iraq, Lebanon, etc.



This policy was meant to embitter the Palestinians. It was meant to create a hostile population directly on the border with Israel. It was meant to create a gang like oppressed mentality that would be ever restless, self-destructive much like urban gangs in the USA, Russia, Central,and South America. But these gangs parked on Israel's borders were also re-educated much like Mao's China. It was a mix of re-interpreted Islamic fundamentalism or revolutionary socialism as seen through the right-wing supremacist thinking of Arabs; with revived anti-semitic beliefs imported from Europe. Those beliefs were of Nazi origin with still more ancient medieval origins. While educated refugees could see the ruse, the uneducated fodder fell for it BIG TIME! Most Muslims and not Christians were engineered to look to Israel as the scapegoat despite the obvious facts of other Arab states being responsible. This brainwashing of Islamic "Manchurian candidates" continues today in Palestine.



They were slowly transformed into Proxy Fighters for outside Muslim Arab interests or the "Islamic cabal".

But they werent used immediately in a large-scale way. It takes time to create what Hamas is today.

For the first 19 years they were raiders or fedayeen who struck at Israel civilians with massacres and attacks in border areas trying to terrorize Israelis into leaving those areas and eventually Israel. A tactic Hamas STILL USES!! Yasir Arafat was one such fighter for the group he set up called Fatah. Ariel Sharon became famous for retaliation raid set up to discourage these attacks. Like now Gaza in the 1950's was a hotbed of guerrilla attacks. Except then the Egyptians winked at fedayeen attacks and they "administered" Gaza. This calmed down after the Israelis invaded Gaza in 1956 in the Suez War.

Border attacks still continued especially from Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.



The overwhelming victory of the Six Day war followed by the Yom Kippur was stopped much of this. But fedayeen had already transformed themselves for a new campaign of terror. In 1964 Arafat decided the re-christen the Arabs who were formerly called the Arab Palestinians into a new nationality. Ta-da The Palestinians. And today the media, the Arabs, Europeans, and the naive all behave as if Palestine was an ancient nation in the Middle East. It was brilliant move. Not only the invention but the sustained disinformation of Palestinian nationality. By 1974 when Arafat spoke at the UN Palestine as a country waiting for a spot in the globe. Preferably the spot occupied by Israel of course. After the Six Day War Arafat created the Palestine Liberation Organization. It was an umbrella for all organizations that sought to remove Israel from the map.



Their first strike was to create Palestine out of what actually was Palestine before the British gave it to the dynastic rulers of Mecca-Jordan. That was Black September. That failed. The next move in the area was for the PLO to set up a state in Lebanon. That set up a 15 year Lebanese Civil War that transformed the Amal militia into todays Hezbullah and pitted Muslims against Christians there.



But the signal for a new tactic was when PLO terrorists hijacked three airplanes; landed them in Jordan and blew them up before pliant Western media. What followed was an international war to terrorize Europe and Israel. It included an attack on the Olympic village in Munich by a group named Black September resulting in a massacre of athletes. As well as supporting terror by Leftist terrorists in the Entebbe hijacking and the Japanese Red Army massacre of Puerto Rican pilgrims in Lod airport. There were bombings and attacks at airports for the next 15 years. The Israeli airline EL AL became famous for its successful no-nonsense security. Of course the Israelis couldnt attack PLO easily, so they took their frustration on the Palestinians resulting in the 1st intifada. Katyusha rockets fired from Lebanon send Israelis into civil war ravaged Lebanon twice in 1978 and 1982. Does that sound familiar? In 1982 the effort tuned in a major war to destroy the PLO state. And the PLO fled to Tunis discredited.






The setbacks by the Arab Muslims to destroy Israel brough in a new player in 1979. Iran an ally of Israel with no history of antagonism was overthrown by fundamentalist mullahs. They immediately took a prominent role of threatening Israel (They could only say Zionist entity and STILL DO). They set up a Shiite proxy from the Amal called the Hezbullah. So very much like the Sunni PLO the Shia Hezbullah set up a proxy state for Iran in southern Lebanon. When the Israelis left in the early 80's they created a Christian buffer state in Southern Lebanon to protect Northern Israel.



For some reason Prime Minister Barak withdrew support in 2000 creating a 2nd intifada for Palestinians hoping Israel was collapsing and a new brave and closer Hezbullah state. By 2006 the new state attacked Israel and resisted invasion. Only international action pushed the hostile proto-state back from the Israeli border.



Lets go back to the Palestinians. Weary from attacks Israel decided to give in to international calls to negotiate with the increasingly limp PLO. That end in Oslo. Since the PLO was no longer active in destroying



Israel the "forces to destroy the Jewish infidels" went with a social welfare organization transforming them into a fundamentalist terror organization called Hamas.



Hamas had something new, They sent bomb laden individuals to blow themselves up in Israel cities. Suicide bombings took place in reception halls, pizza shops, buses, restaurants, more buses, etc. 1995 Hamas declared war. Arafat and his new Palestinian Authority negotiations on creating a state suffered. Since Arafat frequently spoke for the destruction of Israel, Israelis became wary. They became entrenched. And that increased more discord, that was ignited by Baraks move in Lebanon. Officially it Was Ariel Sharons visit of the mosques on the Temple Mount, but that was really a smokescreen. The 2nd intifada was a new method to destroy the Israeli state by the "islamic" cabal". It was an underhanded attack on civilians brought into Israel. And the Israeli bomb certainly couldnt be used on a Palestinian state. The Arab world stopped, watched and waited.Ariel Sharon took the helm and eventually ended the 2nd intifada by actually building a wall between Israel and Palestine, It's obvious that any trust the Palestinians built up after the end of 1970-85 Terror war evaporated again. Today Fatah state in the West Bank is at a low ebb in their c terror campaign. The economy there is improving. But Fatah still expresses it core beliefs in a destruction of Israel in speeches and issued documents. They want to destroy Israel; they just can't do it now.



Hamas on the other hand is a very active proxy state for Muslims Arabs and Iran as well. Ariel Sharon in an effort to centralize Israel population the area withdrew Jewish settlers in 2006. Would Israeli-less Gaza calm down? No Hamas bereft of suicide bombers jacked up their rocket firing capabilities ans started bombing southern Israel more. The Hamas creed is like the PLO-Fatah one; no infidel state for the Jews. The Islamic cabal is very happy now. Theres a hostile Hezbullah proto state in the north and a smaller Hamas fanatic state shoved right up against Israel. And its ta return to the fedayeen tactics of the 1950s except its now with vastly improved weaponry. The Hamas Shaheed Culture doesnt fear death for its fighters nor its own population. For them the resultant Gaza War was worth it if it weakens Israel and THEN destroys it. Martyrs are welcome.



There you have it. Israel is in a fight for its life with terrorist proxy fighters. All this while the Israel economy flourishes. In the worlds eyes the onus for peace cannot fall on Fatah, Hamas or Hezbullah. They arent countries. But Israel is, so a new inequality is created.And this conundrum has created new distortions for retrogressive Islamic forces to spread. Israel could be in dire straits any minute; not by hostile states but small proto-states created by terrorist militias and funded by a cabal that cannot accept Jews as an independent self empowered people.

The Empire of Greater Israel

Jew Haters, Israel haters  but not Anti-Zionists (few if any)  always distort the size of the Jewish state by semantics. They use elaborate language meant to inflame the ignorant, confused and other newbies about Israel expansion. But these people are very good with propaganda and use socialist/leftist terminology, or ancent christian anti-semtic terminology, depending on whether they left wing or rightwing, to misrepresent the reality of Israel in the middleeast.. Islamist Arabs and other anti-Israeli Muslims use both approaches.

Another word thats incorrect and meant to outrage is "aparthied".

I encounter the hardcore types on forums. They are hardcore on the left and right. But the lines get blurred as rightist pretend to be left and vics versa. But manyhave no ideology except hatred of Jews.

They repeat  incessantly that Israel is expanding and confiscating Arab lands all over the Middle East. A good example is the absurd Greater Israel post that Israel has it's goal on an Empire from the Eurphrates to the Nile, since King David had such a realm. I've already written about this.

Those a little more practical  go on to point out examples like Israel conquering Lebanon since they "occupy" Sheba'a Farm disputed boundary issueon the Golan Heights. Since Lebanon and Syria never resolved  the problem BEFORE 1967 its now balloned into a major international outrage of occupied Lebanon.

They also mention the Israel-PLO War invasion of Lebanon in 1982. But they NEVER mention that the PLO controlled their own section of Lebanon from 1976 to 1983 and launched Katushya rockets AT Northern Israel in 1978 and AGAIN in 1982. The 1982 incident led Iasraels to attempt to destoy the PLO by surrounding Beirut.  To prevent future attacks Israel set up a Christian state in southern Lebanon. This too is pointed at as expansion despit no settlements ever existing. So they ignore the point od Israeli withdrawal in 2000 which sparked the 2nd intifada as Arabs salivated at perceived Israeli weakness.

The 2006 Hezbullah War is mentioned as a land grab attempt when its quite clearly a self defense measure to stop missiles raining on Northern Israel for a month. They also point to the territories in the West Bank and Gaza which were never annexed. In fact they are silent when you mention the  Expulsion of  Jewish settlers from Gaza.

But whats pointed out with great glee is the territories conquered in the 6 Day War. Thats expansion thay cry with pretend wounded cries. Sinai was occupied but after Anwar Saat went to Jerusalem and later signed a peace treaty, that resulted in his assaisination, Israel withdrew section by section from the Sinai including dismantling settlements like Yamit.

Yes Israel DID annex the Golan and East Jerusalem. Those areas when occupied by Arabs were exploited and used as launchpads for weapons fire INTO Israel. The West Bank  or Samaria/Judea   remained settler pfree for most of the first 10 years. And since Jordan refused to negotiate LAND FOR PEACE it remain in Israel hands. King Hussein sat on his hands capitulating to the Arab League and their proxies the PLO. Exventually all rights to that part of Jordan was given to the PLO.

Jewish settler consider these lands part of Jewish history and they create settlements betwen Arab towns most of the time on fallow Arab land. This I must concede is the only expansion I can see.

But if you look at Israel in comparison with its hostile neighbors on a map you are astonshed

You can barely see Israel and the proto-state of Palestine. Only Lebanon is smaller. Egypt, Jordam (which intially WAS part of Palestine), Syria, Saudi Arbia, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, and Algeria loom like Soviet Russia over Poland! They are humongous mega expanses. Israel haters MAKE sure never to bring maps into the debate! The Arabs are greedy in not being able to recognize a tiny sliver of a non-Muslim state in their midst.

They consider this a loss for Arab Muslim heritage. These lands once conquired should alway remain Muslim,. Its their UMMA lands forever! This applies to other losses like Spain. and the Balkans too but in a much lesser way. Those loses arent as fresh and raw like Israel! They view the area from Morocco to Persia (Iran) as a great Arab carpet mosaic with reds, greens, blacks and white suddenly infected by alien blue Israel. So in reality 19 mile wide Israel is very small but its exaggerated  to a huge size by the outraged psychology of the Arab mind.

The World's remaining Apartheid Regime

In the latter 20th century two nations ostracized for internal policies were South Africa and Israel.It was called APARTHEID and ther word was derived from Afrikaner Dutch. This long standing policy separated the black and white races in South Africa. This was a effort to control the majority indigenous peoples and keep them from empowerment by the descendents of colonial settlers. The struggle of black South Africans achieved worldwide support as it was likened to a David Vs Goliath clash with a strong justice/injustice issue. In 1994 it was ended in South Africa due to political and economic pressure. Though the term was occasionally used in the Israel-Palestine conflict it lost popularity in that application due to the Oslo Accords.

With the 2nd Intifada the term was revived in 2000. The term was used towards the Israel/Palestine conflict by right wing and left wing or liberal. Of course the use by rightist elements is entirely hypocritical. It gained much validity when adopted by former President Jimmy Carter. However "aparthied" is a blunt, imprecise instrument. It means separation of races within a nation. The Israelis are a conglomeration of cultures, ethnic groups and MOST IMPORTANTLY races from all over the world. The Palestinians arent separated from their empowerment; they are separated as an enemy camp. They are stormtroopers of the Islamic effort to restore dhimmi status of Jews and destroy the Jewish infidel state. You discrminate against people trying to kill you. sp Separation is a security tool. And its bourne out by the facts of the 2nd Intifada where bombings and gunfights necessitated more security separation in the form of checkpoints, separate roads and the security wall. Indeed those efforts ended the 2nd intifada. Since Palestine is NOT part of Israel, here the apartheid words fails.


Today the use of this inaccrate term has spread beyond the liberal media and into the Arab and Muslims worlds

Islam is not Compatible with Modernity

Christianity had its Protestant Reformation. It has the Counter Catholic Reformation. It had the Enlightenment. The Age of Reason. Confined to the medieval Ottoman Empire Islam calcified. So upon the coloizations from the Europeans Islamic culture adopted Western ideals superficially in order to function. But the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula continued to stagnate isolated from the West. So When the Jews arrived in Palestine they realized that their frozen beliefs could not survive against Western ideals and culture they could only react violently. They attacked what they thought was the source of decadence and temptation...the Jews. Today the entire Muslim Arab world has been thrust into modern society. So is it a wonder how a crumbling warrior society results in bomb plots around the world and efforts to bring in Sharia. They make absurd compromises not really seeing the incongruity. If its pointed out they react with furor. What is sad is that they are just interpretations with patriarchal roots. They suppress women in head to toe psychological prisons that pretend to be custom. These values clash with Western society. They are not compatible with modernity.

It actually says in the Qu'ran that the Land Of Israel actually belongs to the Jews

So the Muslims who rage against the discontinuity called the Jewish state are apostate. Muslims are taught that from Morocco to India there is a pattern of Islam in smooth transition from infidel Christians in Spain to infidel Hindu pagans. That the Jews break the pattern and stand as equals having thrown off dhimmi, enrages them, That is the a source of the Mideast conflict.

10 Questions For Israeli Zionists- Response

Question No. 1: Why do Zionists insist on confusing Zionism with Judaism? Not all Zionists are Jewish, and not all Jews are Zionists. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Tony Blair, John Negroponte, Bill & Hillary Clinton, and John Bolton - to name but a few very powerful pro-Israeli Zionists - are clearly NOT Jewish. At the same time, writers like Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Juan Gelman, Israel Shamir, the Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum group (see www.jewsagainstzionism.com) and the editors of the New York left-wing Jewish journal 'Forward' are all Jewish, and yet strongly opposed to Zionism.... ADDENDUM: These 'Zionists' who are not Jewish are pro-Zionist of Neo-Conservative Fascist variety. Israel Shamir is a Swedish white supremacist who has posed for a decade as a anti-Zionist Jew. His name is really Jermad Joran. Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum does not believe in political Zionism but he does believe in religious Zionism. And the editors of the Forward though highly critical of Israel support its existence. Naom Chomsky in a televised debate with Alan Dershowitz showed while he is an expert on language and has revealed much on fascistoc tendencies in American govderment was woefully inadequate in regard to his knowledge on Israel. This also occurred in a debate between Norman Finklestein and Dershowitz. Question No. 2: Why do Zionists purposefully seek to harm Jewish communities in the Diaspora? As an Argentine citizen, I am concerned about the fact that Zionists and Israelis confuse Zionism with Judaism on purpose, because this can potentially lead to very negative and unjust reactions on the part of vast population sectors the world over who, ignoring this key differentiation between Zionists and Jews, might end up blaming all Jews for the carnage, injustice and genocide being perpetrated by some militant Zionist Jews in Israel and elsewhere. In Argentina, we are particularly concerned over how this can be detrimental to the peaceful Jewish community residing in our country. To accuse any person critical of Israel and Zionism of being an 'Anti-semite' is ludicrous and tantamount to intellectual terrorism because in that way any chance of holding a free and open debate on these complex issues is thwarted and silenced. We urgently need to understand that the way the State of Israel was created over half a century ago bore the seeds of todays increasingly violent conflicts in the Middle East. We need to base our views and opinions on Historical Truth, and not on propaganda and myth. We need to understand what are the true objectives of International Zionism in the whole world, as well as in Argentina and in our region. In fact, it would have a very moralizing effect in Argentina and other countries, if local Jewish community associations and leaders would adopt an inequivocal public stance condemning the barbaric attacks that Israel is carrying out against Palestine and Lebanon. ADDENDUM:I feel that this is too opinionated to be represenative of the Diaspora jews. Probably bogus. Now Zionism is NOT a monolithic belief. It simply states that Jews have the right to live in Israel. Not to fight Arabs. Not to expell Arabs. Islamists Arabs and their white supremacist allies would have you believe that all Zionism is exclusive so as to dismiss any discussion of Zionism and its acceptance in ANY FORM! There are many versions of Zionism. Religious, Political and its subform Socialistic. Zionism doesnot preclude any criticism of Zionism, Israel or Isreali policies. You can be a member of the Peace Now movement in Israel AND STILL BE ZIONISTIC. The aims of various Israeli administrations have been in a plethora of forms over the 58 years. Zionism is not Nazism. Nazism was a poltical dictadorship over all peoples within Germany. Israel is a republic in the British style. Israel has fought a protracted war with Palestinian Arabs and their allies other Arab states and cabals for 86 years including 58 as a state. In this war it has oppressed many of the Palestinian Arab people. But unfortunately it is war, Thats what happens when these Palestinian Arabs support terrror such as rockets and previously suicide bombings. Not all Diaspora Jews support Israel. But as long as you believe in the Torah/Talmud you believe in Zionism. Accusing any criticism of anti-semitism is wrong, but its currently used as a cover in many cases, of not Israel hate but Jew hate. There is no International Zionism. Here its used as a sunstitute for International Communism. When we have to fear International Globalism. Thats real. Israel's existence has not caused all the violent activity in the Middle East. Israel has been around since 1948 yet this activity is fairly new as Islamic culure is perceived as being erroded by Western materialistic values and even the presence of Westeners in a manifest destiny/sacred/racist pure Islamic view of the Middle East. As was when Ossama demanded Us troops leave the sacred land of Saud's Arabia. In this case the terrorists won as US troops went over to Iraq. Iraq has little to do with Israel. They are separated by thousands of miles. Israel latest enemies have been Hezbollah, Syria and faroff fundamentalist Shiiite Iran. Saddam Hussein did support suicide bombings with money, but that was a minor irritant anf of course the Israelis did support an overthrow of Iraq. But the main gist of Iraq has been its status as the second largest oil field and undeveloped at that!!! Petroleum is expensive and this amount is worth trillions to the Neo-Com Globalists plus its worth its weight in the power from vast sums of money. As for Lebanon, Israel did not carry out an unusually barbaric war. For that read about the Iraqi war. Much more barbaric. Israel used intelliegence to warn residents of ammo caches and then bomb them. There are no magic viewscreens to target women and children from Israeli HQ or bomber pilot sights. The outcry is pure Hezbollah PR. very good PR at that. It successfully covered up previous militant inages of the Hezbollah. Question No. 3: Why do Zionists insist on accusing anyone critical of Israel and Zionism of 'Antisemitism'? To even speak of 'Antisemitism' in this day and age is absurd and downright hypocritical. 'Semitic' is a linguistic category originally coined and used by such19th Century intellectuals as Wilhelm Marr in Germany, and French philosophers Eduard Renán and Count Arthur de Gobineau who contrasted 'Semites' with 'Aryans'. Do Zionists now also want us all to start talking about 'Aryans'? One can hardly believe that such stupidity can still be seriously voiced in the 21st Century!! If Zionists insist on talking about 'Antisemitism', then they should be reminded that the Arab Nations are also 'Semitic', as they too descende from Shem, the eldest son of Biblical Noah... Clearly, if Zionists insist on ranting about 'the scourge of Antisemitism', then they should understand that today's real 'Antisemitism' is the bloody persecution of Palestinians, Iraquis and Lebanese (for the most part, 'Semites') at the hands of the genocidal invading forces of the United States, Great Britain and Israel, most of whose top leaders are clearly 'Aryans': Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Benjamín Netanyaju, George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Dick Cheney, to name but a few, are clearly of 'Aryan' stock as they bear no resemblance whatsoever to the poor and suffering 'Semites'.... ADDENDUM; Wording like the above makes me wonder about the authenticity of this article as written by an Argentine Jew. It would not be the first time that a white supremacist wrote as if he/she was a Jew. Admittedly anti-semitism is a clumsey word as Arabs who are among the worlds greatest Jew haters are Semites in terms of their language groups. Semitic as a race group is an archaic classification dropped decades ago as a result of Hitlers race classifications being used as reasons to kill European ethnic groups. I prefer Jew hate, myself. But anti-semitism's usage is far from stupid. Indeed the bloody persecutions of Iraqis by American and British of Anglo Saxon descent is something to consider. But Aryan is not a scientific race classification any more than Semtic. Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Benjamín Netanyahu are not Aryan nor Semitic as in race since those terms are anachrinistic! Archaic. They are Israeli Jewish leaders defending the state against Lebanses Hezbollah and Palestinian Arab attack. The sneaky grouping of Israelis with Anglo Saxons again makes me supect white supremacist/islamist origin Question No. 4: Why do Zionists martyrize Gaza and the Palestinians? In 1989, the world freed itself of the shameful Berlin Wall. A few short years later, the State of Isrel replaced it with the even more shameful Gaza Wall, hundreds of kilometers long and 8 meters high, with its military check points, barbed-wire fences and heavily armed soldiers firing at civilians and constantly humiliating the Palestinian people. Israel has turned the Gaza Strip into a massive concentration camp housing half a million civilians living imprisoned with little or no water, sewage, electricity, jobs, schools or hospitals. They lie defenseless before their Zionist captors. Clearly, Israeli leaders have learned much from Auschwitz and the Warsaw Ghetto... ADDENDUM: Comparing Israelis with Nazis is a white supremacist/islamist turnspeak tactic. The Gaza wall has nothing to do with German Nazi concentration camps in design or purpose. Gazi is hundreds of miles bigger than Auschwitz lets say. Whereas Auschwitz was liquidation /labour center, Gaza is a refugee camp erected by the Egyptian government after 1949. It was conquered in 1956 as a terror base for egyptian funded raiders. And later taken over by Israelis after 1967 along with the sinai. When the Sinai was returned,to Egypt in 1982 Egypt would not take back Gaza. So Gaza is in limbo as a Hamas entity. Not a state yet not recognizing Israel has put it in a precarious position. But i does have water, sewage, electricity, jobs, schools or hospitals but since Israel is at war with Hamas, these services are hampered. But So any association to German Nazi concentration camps is nil and a PR move. Question No. 5: Do the Israelis really expect the Palestinians and Lebanese not to somehow defend themselves against their attacks? Only Sovereign Nation-States can have regular and legal Armed forces (e.g., Israel, the United States, Great Britain and Argentina, to name a few). Palestine, however, is not allowed to have a Sovereign Nation-State, so Palestinians have no option but to support irregular insurgent armed forces like Hamas to retaliate against Israel. After years of invasion and occupation by Israel and other nations, Lebanon has not been given the chance of building a Sovereign Nation-State, so the Lebanese have no defense option but to support the irregular insurgent Hezbollah militias. Surely both Hamas and Hezbollah receive arms and support from Syria and Iran... Doesn't Israel received enormous support and arms from the United States of America? Isn't Israel the sole nuclear power possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East, thanks to the apporoximately 400 atomic bombs the United States generously ceded to them? In fact, seeing Israel's current behaviour of running amok in the region, the key question we should be asking is: can Israel be trusted with this extremely powerful and deadly nuclear arsenal? Shouldn't the international community be disarming Israel as a way of promoting world peace? The Palestinian and Lebanese peoples have the RIGHT to self-defense against State Terrorism being waged against them by Israel. In their desperate predicament, one can understand them doing whatever they can to defend themselves and for many increasingly desperate Palestinians and Lebanese, this includes supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. Let's be honest: if Hamas and Hezbollah were to disappear overnight, what solution does Israel and the United States have for peace in the Middle East? Consistently, they have shown that they have none, because peace is neither a US or Israeli objective, nor is it in the wider geopolitical interests of both countries. On the issue of Terrorism, the United States, Britain and Israel branded Hamas and Heznollah as 'terrorist organizations'. We should, however, remember that the Israeli Defense Forces (i.e., the Israeli Army) arose from the merger in 1948 of four key Zionist terrorist organizations: Hagganah, Stern Gang, Irgun, and Zvai Leumi. Those terrorist groups were responsible for literally thousands of assassinations, both before and after the creation of the State of Israel, which included the massacre of civilians in the village of Deir Yassin which led to the expulsion of millions of Palestinians in 1948; the assassination also in 1948 of UN Mediator for Palestine Count Folke de Bernadotte (organized by the Stern Gang guerrilla group led by Ytzakh Shamir, later primer minister of Israel); and the terrorist bomb attack in 1947 against the King David Hotel in Jerusalem which housed the British Military High Command (carried out by the guerrilla group led by Menahem Beghin, later also primer minister of Israel). This latter attack set a precedent of the terrorist methodology used in the two bomb attacks in Argentina (see Question 10 below). On the issue of 'terrorism', then, there are only two options: either all of these groups - Hamas, Hezbollah and the Israeli Army - are to be regarded as 'defense forces'; or all of them are branded as 'terrorist groups'. You cannot have your cake and eat it too... ADDENDUM:Palestine has yet to evolve nation status so there is no army. But its police force is derived from years as the guerrilla/ terror force known as the Palestiniian Liberation Organization. Lebanon indeed has an army, but has been hobbled by a 15 year civil war between Christians and Muslims that goes back to the days of the Arab conquest. In reference to Israel's atomics; it has behaved in an impeccable manner in this regard! I should add that there has never ben an account of the number of them Nor was Israel given the nukes by the US. Israel having a share of scientific personage acquired the bombe with French assistance approxiamately in 1961. unlike the USA, France, Great Britian, China, India Pakistan and the Soviet Union ir never threatened any state including the Arab enemy states with nuclear annihilation. Today Iran before it acquires this atomic knowledge has threatened Israel with destruction periodically since the 1980's. Since Israel is 13 miles wide atomics is a purely offensive weapon. State reaction against Palestinian Arab terror is historically one of Arab incitement going back before there was an Israel supervision of the West Bank & Gaza, way back before there was Israel. When the Arab offensive relaxed so did the Israeli people. But this policy was updated/changed as Israelis now persecute all Palestinian Arabs seen as a danger to Israeli civilians incessantly. The Israeli Army was founded by a merger of the Hagganah, Stern Gang, Irgun, and Zvai Leumi. The latter 3 did do acts considered terror at times against the British military preventing emigration of Holocaust survivors and the rival Arab militias. These acts were outnumbered by the vast number of PLO terror attacks from 1970 to 1993 including Entebbie, the Olympic massacre, and numerous shootings and hijackings in airports all over the Middle East and Europe. Again these acts were later outclassed by the suicide bombings by Hamas, Tanzim, Al aqsa Brigades, Islamic Jihad and PFLP groups nevermind the Palestinian Committes from 1995 to today. It has recently been revealed that the only massacre of Palestinian Arabs at Deir Yassin may have simply been a ballte between Irgun and Palestinian Arabs. And that the rival Hagganah set it up to scare Palestinian Arabs away and to defama Irgun. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Arab terror groups cannot be viewed as defensive and target civillians.... Question No. 6: Why do Zionists refuse to publicly investigate and debate the so-called 'Holocaust' in a balanced and objective manner? Today, this has become a key issue, because a proper understanding of the Holocaust will give us clear clues regarding the origin of the Middle Eastern conflict, as well as of many key events since World War Two leading to the enthronement of the 'New World Order' which our globalized society suffers today. There exists a growing revisionist movement in European and US academic circles which holds that it is yet to be convincingly demonstrated that six million Jews actually died at the hands of National Socialist Germany and Austria during World War II. Serious investigations on this complex issue are still taboo nowadays in the better part of the Western world and in some countries like France, Canada, Germany and Austria, such investigations are actually banned by law, bowing to Zionist pressure. What are they so afraid of? Could it possibly be that if a serious and objective historical investigation were to be carried out, it might be shown that the six million figure just doesn't add up? US Jewish author Norman Finkelstein, in his book 'The Holocaust Industry', published in 2002, clearly demonstrates how the 'Holocaust Myth' was invented and used by the State of Israel to rally permanent financial and political support from the United States, its key allies and aligned sectors within the Jewish Diaspora the world over. As a clue to what we are saying, for many years when Poland was under Soviet domination, the Auschwitz Museum there showed a plaque which reminded visitors that 'Four Milllion Jews' had been assasinatied there until 1945, thus fueling two-thirds of the Six Million Myth. However, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the ensuing liberation of Poland, that plaque was discreetly removed and replaced by a new one saying that '1.500.000 people ' had died there. Where are the Holocaust's Six Million then? ADDENDUM; This iswhere the Argentine authorship falls apart. Jews do not question the Holocaust. but white supremacists/islamists do! Denying the Holocaust is a pure measure of Jew Hate. Its meant to revise history that ant future Holocaust can be re-enacted. This movement has not been accepted in academic circles to any large degree. Its not Zionist pressure that has persecuted the Holocaust Denial movement in Europe, but the europeans themselves. You see besides the 6 million Jews in the European Holocaust there were 5 million non-Jews. That is why Faurisson, David Irving and Zundel are being prosecuted by Europeans for Europeans! Should David Finklestein attempt any visit to Europe he should watch out.
Question No. 7: How do Zionists explain the unconditional support that the United States of America gives International Zionism and the State of Israel? I believe that in order to comprehend what is happening today in the world we need to understand that the government of the United States of America has been commandeered [hijacked?] by the forces of International Zionism. Only then can the unconditional, permanent and unflinching US support for Israel be properly understood. Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharón eloquently reflected this when during a heated cabinet debate with Shimon Peres in late 2003 he said that he (Peres) should not worry about US reaction to Israeli aggression against the Palestininians because 'We (the Israelís) control the United States and the Americans know this very well' (cited in Israeli newspaper Ha'arezt, and also published in Argentine by Jewish writer Juan Gelman in the Buenos Aires daily 'Página 12', 04-Dec-03). This highly dangerous problem of global dimensions was recently assessed in a report published by Harvard University in March 2006, authored by University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer and the Dean of Havard's John F Kennedy School of Government, Stephen Walt describing 'The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy', (see Harvard Faculty Research Working Papers Series, RWP06-011). Both authors convincingly show the enormous political and financial influence and excessive leverage which pro-Zionist and pro-Israeli lobbies such as AIPAC - American Israeli Political Action Committee - have. So much so that they have succeeded in bending US foreign policy against the national interest of the people of the United States, in order to prioritize the national interest of a foreign country: the State of Israel. So obvious and flagrant is this key factor in US foreign policy, that even former National Security Advisor and key Trilateral Commission / Council on Foreign Relations idealogue Zbigniew Brzezinski voiced support for Measheimer and Walt, saying that they serve the public interest by pointing this problem out (see Bzezinski's article: Mearsheimer and Walt's public service initiating debate on the role of the Israel lobby: a Dangerous Exemption). We could also point to other very powerful and influential pressure groups like the World Zionist Organization, the World Jewish Congress, ADL - Anti-Defamation League (controlled by the masonic B'Nai B´Rith lodge), and the PNAC - Project for a New American Century, whose key intellectuals today serve in the Bush administration or influential upon it, and includes officials responsible for the destruction of Iraq and the unconditional US support for Israel: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, I. Lewis Libby, Paul Bremer III, Richard Armitage, Robert Zoellick, James Baker III and Elliot Abrams to name but a handful. ADDENDUM; Argentine Jews do not accuse the USA of being hijacked by Zionists. This confirms this fraud. I can now say this is of white supremacist origin. Now the Israel lobby is indeed powerful in the hall of government. But to say there is Internaional Zionism is funny. Its brings back memories of sloganeering by Ronald Reagain when he compared 'card carrying ACLU members' to previous card carrying communist party members in the 1950's. International Zionism is meant to regurgitate 'International Communism'. If Israel did actually control the US then why was there a need for Israel to spy on the US military as in the current AIPAC scandal or the Jonathan Pollard incident????? The recent Israel lobby article has been dismissed in academic circles. When you see 'controlled by the masonic B'Nai B´Rith lodge' you know a white supremacist wrote this as they fear Masons. 'Project for a New American Century, whose key intellectuals today serve in the Bush administration or influential upon it, and includes officials responsible for the destruction of Iraq and the unconditional US support for Israel: Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, I. Lewis Libby, Paul Bremer III, Richard Armitage, Robert Zoellick, James Baker III and Elliot Abrams to name but a handful. ' These people are NeoCons who work for the Globalist corporate cabal that is far more powerful than the Israel lobby as it has sent us into a unwinnable war for oil resources. They may even be more powerful than the US gov't. Question No. 8: Is it good for the world to be dominated by very small minorities? In an official Israeli web site (The Jewish Agency for Israel, www.jafi.org.il) and in various sites belonging to Jewish organizations in the US (e.g., www.jewishvirtuallibrary.com), total world Jewish polulation is estimated at around 16.000.000 people (of which approximately 200.000 are said to reside in Argentina). This clearly indicates that the world's Jewish Communities are very tiny in their numbers, i.e., only 0.2% of the worlds total population estimated at 6.5 billion people (and 0.5% of Argentina's population of around 39 million). Is it not undemocratic for such small minorities to wield so much world power and leverage? So much so, that today the extremely aggresive and powerful Zionist sector of the Jewish community is dragging the entire planet to the brink of a Third World War as the London 'Financial Times' reports in its 24th July 2006 issue? ADDENDUM;There is no wielding of world power here by Zionists or Israelis or Jews. Its a perception tp create an enemy in the Jewish people, Historically Jews have been blamed for the ills of European civilization even after they were expelled from much of Europe for not converting to Christianity at the time . This blaming or scapegoating is being revived again with Jews as the global menace to disguise the real menaces, Islamic fundamenntalism and growing corporate power. The Islamic/Christian divide that dates to the invasion of the Roman Empire by Arabs in the 640's is bringing us to the 3rd world war.[/B] Question No. 9: Why do Zionists systematically lie about the cause of today's crisis in the Middle East? The tragic events in Lebanon and Palestine were allegedly triggered because Israel says that Hamas and Hezbollah 'kidnapped' three of their soldiers in Gaza and on the border with Lebanon (some reports say inside Lebanon), respectively. This is a travesty, because combat soldiers cannot be 'kidnapped'; only civilians can be kidnapped. Combat soldiers can be captured, even killed by the Enemy, but not 'kidnapped'. Nevertheless, Israel, the United States and the subservient global media financed and controlled by the very same international financial circles running today's 'New World Order', repeat time and again that those three Israeli soldiers were 'kidnapped'... An old adagio says that 'when war breaks out, the very first victim is truth...' Psychological War operations form part of the Zionist-US worldwide strategy, which includes major bomb scares and 'Anthrax-attack' scares. Even the terrible events of September 11th in the US, March 11th in Madrid and July 7th in London have yet to be properly addressed and clarified, as there is mounting evidence showing the tell-tale signs of probable 'dirty tricks' in these operations, reminiscent of the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq' scare of 2002 and 2003. Nevertheless, the aligned media and key world leaders use this to satanize the Muslim world and justify gross discrimination and aggression against the followers of Islam on a global basis. ADDENDUM: This is literally word for word from white supremacist Jew hate sites. The Hezbollah kidnapping was the straw that broke the camels with Israel. Even usually critical European nations condemned the Hezbollah action. Hamas was on a truce so they violated their own rules! Since there were no combat missions with Hezbollah and Hamas by the IDF then they were not the enemy. But these arguements are semantic.anti-semantic. (ha!) Suddenly the author states 'Psychological War operations form part of the Zionist-US worldwide strategy,' without so much as a easing into ogf the subject. This is again a charaacteristic of white supremacist writing. There is much mystery about 9/11 that has to be explained. Even some regarding 7/7 and 3/11. But 3/11 perpetrators as well as the London bombers were obviously fundamentalist Muslims. The participation of Muslims in this acts of violence is self-satanizing! Question No. 10: Argentina: Why isn't a highly plausible ISRAELI connection investigated as the prime suspect in the two bomb attacks against the Israeli Embassy (1992) and AMIA Jewish Community Association HQ (1994) in Buenos Aires? According to the prestigious New York-based Jewish Anti-Zionist journal 'Forward', the US Government has been increasingly pressing Argentina's government to deliver a (clearly false) 'Iranian connection' in respect of these two bomb attacks. The Mossad and CIA intelligence agencies together with accommodating Argentine governments have been trying for 12 and 14 years respectively to fabricate such a false so-called 'Iranian Connection', but have fully failed in their endeavours. They went so far as to have one of these cases' acting Federal Judges - Juna José Galeano - actually bribe a key suspect (Mr Telledin) with u$s 400.000 so that he would accuse the local police of having been involved, as that would have enabled them to 'trace' this back to Hizbollah, Syria and Iran. What concerns many of us in Argentina is that if president Nestor Kirchner's pro-Zionist Argentine government were to bow to such pressures, and ends up giving the US and Israel yet another 'reason' to attack Hezbollah, Syria and Iran, then our country will become directy involved in the criminal war which International Zionism is waging against the Muslim world... And the vast majority of the Argentine people definitely do not want any of this! At this stage of events, what Argentina needs is to investigate a much more plausible hypothesis involving an ISRAELI Connection in both bomb attacks which took place at a time when there was a very strong power struggle inside Israel between a more moderate sector which wanted to make the Oslo Agreements work (i.e., the Ytzakh Rabin-led Lebour Party), and right-wing fundamentalists who only believe in the sanctity of Eretz Israel to be forged by Imperial military expansion. That internal struggle culminated in Novermber 1995 when Israel's pro-peace prime minister Rabin was gunned down on the streets of Israel, NOT by a Muslim terrorist; NOT by a racist Neonazi; but rather by Yigal Amir, a young Israeli Zionist militant, closely linked to the extreme right-wing Jewish Settlers' movement and close to the Shin-Beth, Israel's internal security service. Later on, the official Shamgar Commission which investigated Rabin's assassination concluded that Shin.Beth had had a high degree of responsibility, even if only for having failed to properly protect the prime minister. With Rabin's assassination in 1995, the road was left open for a take-over of the Israeli Government by zealots like Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, and their cronies in the ultra right-wing and fundamentalist Likud and Kadima parties... We insist: The time has come to promote an open and serious debate into fundamental aspects regarding the origins of the violent conflict in the Middle East. Only when TRUTH is allowed to prevail can the bloodbath of hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the Middle East come to a halt. Because THAT is the real Holocaust that the world is suffering today; and it is happening here and now!. ADDENDUM; There is no Israeli connection to the Buenos aries bombings since investigations have linked it to Iranian sponsored Muslim sttacks. So far not one Israeli connection has even remotely been connected to to 9/11, 7/7 3/11 or 11/9 or 7/11.!!! When you see this ' the sanctity of Eretz Israel to be forged by Imperial military expansion. ' you see white supremacist authorship regarding the humorous Greater Israel concept. When Rabin was assaisinated it was the first gov't reaching out to Palestinan Arabs, even as Hamas suicide bombers has begub operations. His administration replaced right wing Israeli governments dating back to Menachem Begin and his peace with Egypt. The author says he wants 'truth' and 'open debate' but I doubt the sincerity. Israels Kadima party is actually opposed by I the Israeli right wing in respect to the West Bank & Gaza. A fact purposefully left out! To call the present situation the Holocaust a clever minimization of the systematic murder of 11 million Europeans. Its an insult to use that word 'Holocaust'!!!!
