[Tikun Olam] J Street Pimps Noa’s U.S. Concert Tour, Israeli Performer Who Supported Gaza War, Accused Hamas of Rape

Richard Silverstein exposes the Israeli Jewish performer Noa as a sick extremist Jewish racist in his blog entry entitled J Street Pimps Noa’s U.S. Concert Tour, Israeli Performer Who Supported Gaza War, Accused Hamas of Rape.


Silverstein's article -- reproduced in its entirety below -- shows that J Street is just another racist Jewish Zionist group dedicated to the maintenance of criminal, immoral, and unethical Jewish privilege, power, status, and wealth both in the USA and also in the Middle East.


The organization represents a last ditch effort of the old Jewish Zionist "left" to regain the authority it had until the election of Begin by creating a left-Zionist alternative to right-Zionists as tensions increase between the Obama administration and Netanyahu. 

Historically, left-Zionists have always attempted to depict themselves as humanitarian and progressive while left-Zionist Israeli governments have brutalized Palestinians and worked with the Jewish Zionist fifth column in the USA in order to subvert the US government and to drain the US economy.

J Street Pimps Noa’s U.S. Concert Tour, Israeli Performer Who Supported Gaza War, Accused Hamas of Rape

Lately J Street has made a few lame political decisions, one of them being joining with Stand With Us and the ADL in denouncing the Berkeley student divestment initiative.  I’ve also been annoyed to discover that J Street is promoting Noa’s national concert tour:

STG Presents NOA with special guest MIRA AWAD

The Moore Theatre, Thursday,  April 29, 2010, 8:00pm

Please join xxxxx in supporting the work of J Street:

Welcome Israeli artist Noa (Achinoam Nini) and Palestinian artist Mira Awad to Seattle. Noa and Mira will speak about their music and why they support J Street.  This is a great chance to meet two talented artists face-to-face, and learn more about the work of J Street , in a beautiful lakefront setting.

Achinoam Nini, also known by her professional name Noa, is Israel’s leading international concert and recording artist.  Over the span of a 15 year career with Gil Dor they produced four successful Israeli albums and four international albums.

Mira Awad, a Palestinian actress, singer and songwriter living in Israel, collaborated with Noa (Achinoam Nini) in her album “Now”, Idan Raichel in his second album “Mema’amakim”, Greek singer George Dalaras, and with hip hop artist Guy Mar. Mira is an actress with the Tel-Aviv Cameri Theatre, and on the TV series “Arab Labour”. She is featured in the movie “The Bubble”,  recorded the theme songs for the films “Forgiveness” and “Lemon Tree.” Her debut album “Bahlawan-Acrobat” was released in May 2009, and was musically produced by guitarist Amos Ever-Hadani.

They’re apparently unaware that Noa voiced strong support for Operation Cast Lead, claimed Gazans sought Hamas’ overthrow, and expressed a devout wish that Israel would accomplish the task for them.  She also called Hamas “Nazi-like” and ” a cancer,” accusing it of acts of rape and other heinous crimes which were baseless accusations.  Here’s a taste of her ranting in case Jeremy Ben Ami didn’t do his due diligence before endorsing this woman’s performances:

I see the ugly head of fanaticism, I see it large and horrid, I see its black eyes and spine-chilling smile, I see blood on its hands and I know one of its many names: Hamas.You know this too, my brothers. You know this ugly monster. You know it is raping your women and raping the minds of your children. You know it is educating to hatred and death.  You know it is chauvinistic and violent, greedy and selfish, it feeds on your blood and screams out Allah’s name on vain, it hides like a thief, uses the innocent as human shields, uses your mosques as arsenals, lies and cheats, uses YOU, tortures you, holds you hostage!!

I know this is true my brothers!! I know YOU know the truth!! And I know you cannot say it for fear of life so I will say it for you!!

…I know that deep in your hearts YOU WISH for the demise of this beast called Hamas who has terrorized and murdered you, who has turned Gaza into a trash heap of poverty, disease and misery. Who in the name of “allah” has sacrificed you on the bloody alter of pride and greed.

…I can only wish for you that Israel will do the job we all know needs to be done, and finally RID YOU of this cancer, this virus, this monster called fanaticism, today, called Hamas. And that these killers will find what little compassion may still exist in their hearts and STOP using you and your children as human shields for their cowardice and crimes.

Here is how Noa attempted to justify Israel’s election of the rightist Netanyahu government.  She explained that the result shouldn’t be surprising in light of:

…The INCREDIBLE propaganda spread around the world by the ENORMOUS amount of Anti-Semites and Jew- haters who are bent on destroying Israel. When the Israeli population sees the lies spread around, the hypocrisy of the world who sees Israel as the aggressor rather than a country acting in self defence, a world whose eyes are blind to the killing and the massacres by the MUSLIM fanatics of the Palestinian people, of Fatah, of women who dare to raise their head, of ANYONE who does not agree with them, when the Israeli people who number 7 million, 1.5 million of them Arabs, see around them 1.5 BILLION Arabs, with hardly ONE voice raised in peace, compared to the ENDLESS Israeli and Jewish voices raised in peace

I realize that Noa is a performer and not a political analyst.  But if she wants to make public political statements she has a responsibility to speak the truth and use facts rather than lies and prejudice.  The passages above reveal her to be woefully uninformed about issues on which she claims to have some expertise and certainly some passion.  Given the venom in these statements, why would J Street want to support her?

J Street also doesn’t seem to realize that the Israeli government, through the Israel Broadcasting Authority, cooked up the idea of Noa and Israeli Palestinian performer Mira Awad entering the Eurovision song contest singing a banal There Must Be Another Way.  They also sing a baleful version of the Lennon-McCarthy, We Can Work it Out, as if solving the Israel-Palestine conflict was as easy as repairing a lover’s quarrel.  For this they were “rewarded” with 16th place in the competition–a lackluster showing helped by the fact that the audience clearly saw through the hasbara nature of the performance.

J Street appears to believe that Noa and Awad together represent the best of what Israel is capable.  Under other circumstances I might agree.  I quite like Noa’s music and I find Mira Awad a compelling performer and I’ve written this here before.  But I do not see how an American Jewish peace group can lend support to this enterprise given Noa’s shameful behavior during the Gaza war and her co-optation by the government to do its bidding in the propaganda wars subsequently.

Udi Aloni wrote a powerful critique of Noa’s support for the Gaza war.

I want to make clear that when J Street stands up for the right thing, I’m there to support it and I have done so.  But when it steps in dog-doo as it has here, it deserves criticism and will hear it from me.

[Forward] A Rich Eastern European Dish

The review of Antony Polonsky's The Jews in Poland and Russia: Volume I below suggests that Allan Nadler, who is Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Jewish Studies Program at Drew University, shares my disdain for contemporary Jewish studies as practiced by incompetents and Zionist ideologues like Harvard Professor Ruth Wisse. (See Issues and Questions in the Historiography of Pre-State Zionism.)

Even though I have not yet read Polonsky's book, I have to comment on the following claim, which Nadler quotes in his article, for the negativity of ethnic Poles toward Jewish society seems to me to be overstated:

There was [in Poland] far less chance than in Galicia of using the educational system to create a large group of Polish-speaking Jews, and no chance of realizing the Positivists’ dream of creating a secular and scientifically based society through universal education…. And those on the Polish side who favored integration had both a strong sense of the inferiority of Jewish to Polish society and unrealistic expectations of how rapidly the Jews could be transformed….

Nevertheless, the assumption that Jewish integration could not have succeeded in the Kingdom of Poland and that its supporters were hopelessly naïve should be rejected. It is another of the implicit assumptions of the now discredited nationalist grand narrative of Jewish history and an example of what E.P. Thompson has described as the “boundless contempt” exhibited in the present for those whose aspirations in the past were not fulfilled. The history of the Jews in the Kingdom of Poland is a story of lost opportunities for which subsequent generations were to pay a high price.

Historic Poland contained many ethnic groups besides ethnic Poles and ethnic Ashkenazim or Polish Lithuanian Tatars.

[Note that it is a common false assumption that Polish Jews constituted a single ethnic group when in fact a Polish Jew could belong to the Yiddish-speaking ethnic group or to the Tatar ethnic group, which also included Muslims and Armenian Christians.]

One must ask whether those Polish nationalists that considered Jewish society inferior to Polish society singled out Yiddish society (or Jewish Tatar society) as uniquely inferior or whether such Polish nationalists treated all non-Polish ethnicities the same.

In any case, it is probably incorrect to read late 19th and early 20th century Polish nationalist texts through the lens of American, French, or even German integrationist nationalism.

A Polish nationalist like Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz may have been looking not for individual integration but rather for ethnic integration within a non-extremist organic nationalist conceptualization of the Polish state even if Kelles-Krauz as a Polish nobleman of German ancestry and his Polish Catholic wife Maria Goldsteynówna of Yiddish ancestry may themselves have represented more a melting pot type of blending.

The integration of ethnic Polish and ethnic Ashkenazi culture surely persisted even after ethnic Ashkenazim began departing historic Poland.

The Zionist ideologist Ber Borokhov almost certainly plagiarized practically all of his ideas from those of Kelles-Krauz while in the 1920s Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Nobel Prize winning Polish author of Tatar ancestry was the most popular novelist in the New Yishuv.

In fact, even though Harvard Jewish studies professor Ruth Wisse rather ignorantly and chauvinistically depicts the Jewish (Yiddish) Joke as specifically and uniquely Jewish, modern Yiddish/American Jewish humor has always struck me as owing a tremendous debt to the sardonic wit of the Polish Enlightenment as typified by Ignacy Krasicki.

Polonsky Begins His Epic Historical Trek
By Allan Nadler

Published April 21, 2010, issue of April 30, 2010.

The Jews in Poland and Russia: Volume I, 1350-1881
By Antony Polonsky
The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization, 568 pages, $59.50

The academic world has become, as of late, almost grotesquely distended by piles of books and articles on the narrowest and most obscure of subjects, written in increasingly opaque scholarly jargon. A mere glance at the lengthy paper titles — employing dozens of terms not to be found in the Oxford English Dictionary — presented at just about any learned society conference, particularly in the humanities, is an experience almost as comical as it is exasperating.

My own particular field of Eastern European Jewish history — Hasidism, to be specific — is, alas, hardly immune. Involving the study of both social and communal history as well as rabbinics and Jewish mysticism, one often feels drowned by the mountain of ceaseless revisions of earlier scholarship, to say nothing of the petty contentiousness among academic colleagues on the most inconsequential of questions. A constant flow of narrow studies boldly claims to “revise,” “revisit,” “reimagine,” “reconstruct,” “deconstruct,” “transcend” and “transgress” the classic work of titan scholars, such as Heinrich Graetz, Israel Zinberg, Simon Dubnow, Ben-Zion Dinur, Salo Baron and Gershom Scholem.

Jewish Spit and Polish: Captain Berek Joselewicz led the Jewish regiment in the failed 1794 Kościuszko Uprising against Imperial Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia

Judaica journals today are filled with heated arguments about the most trivial arcana — the number of Hasidim versus Misnagdim living in Pinsk, Przemysl or Plock in March 1819; their respective median household incomes; annual taxes paid for kosher meat and Sabbath candles; what versions of the siddur every synagogue in each community was using, and so forth. More politically oriented scholars seem to revel in debating morbid matters such as the precise schedule of the Russian trains carrying Ukrainian mobs to commit this or that pogrom in some vanished shtetl, about whose correctly transliterated spelling bitter arguments ensue. This almost self-parodic state of affairs in the academy reminds us that in colloquial English, calling something “academic” is to dismiss it as irrelevant.

Faced with this linguistically impenetrable and mind-numbingly voluminous scholarly mess, reading Antony Polonsky’s masterful new tome, “The Jews in Poland and Russia,” is not merely an edifying pleasure: It is nothing short of a redemptive experience. In Polonsky’s erudite and eminently clear treatment, the rich forest of Eastern European Jewish civilization that has become obscured not only by trees, but also by debris of scholarly twigs, re-emerges in its full lushness.

Jewish Zionist Conspiracy at Columbia

The racist Jewish Zionist conspiracy against Arab and Muslim academics is once again attacking Joe Massad at Columbia University. 

Massad did his part in the struggle against Zionist thought control by throwing Hertz out of a lecture because he was spying for CAMERA.  

Now it is out duty to give racist Jewish Zionist scumbag and CAMERA agent Daniel Hertz a piece of our mind with appropriately scornful comments on the Columbia Spectator article entitled Intimidation 101.

Here is a sample of Hertz's hasbarah dreck: 

After attending a few lectures [of “Palestinian and Israeli Politics and Society,” taught by Joseph Massad], I was still unsure as to whether I wanted to register and remain in the class. While Massad’s reputation had preceded him for the most part, his statements were often tainted with a hue of partiality, making me, and several other students, extremely uncomfortable. With a skillfully crafted curriculum and required reading list filled to the brim with anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic sentiment, Massad had no intention of teaching history—he planned on rewriting it.

Rolde Reports Holocaust Ceremony Protest

While I differ with David on the roll that the USA plays within the Zionist Imperial System, I have nothing to add to David Rolde's article below except that every decent human being must oppose Holocaust religion.

Report: "Israelis" directed Boston police to arrest Vets for Peace member protesting Zionist pro-war "Holocaust Commemoration"

by David Rolde

Yesterday at 1:43pm

Three of us protested against the "Holocaust Commemoration" last week at Faneuil Hall and the "Holocaust Memorial" outside Faneuil Hall. This "commemoration" is an anual event in Boston that is openly organized and sponsored by the "Israeli" government in conjunction with large well-funded Zionist pro-war Jewish groups (principally JCRC/CJP). This "commemoration" is a disingenuous event that does not really oppose injustice or genocide. The purpose of the "commemoration" is to support the Zionist state, the racist "USA" and imperialist wars.

This year the police did not allow us to stand between Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market as they did last year. We were forced to stand out on Congress Street. We had Palestine flags and pro-Palestine signs. We yelled. We talked with people. We handed out a lot of flyers. The flyer that we handed out is reproduced below in as close to the formatting as I can manage in a facebook note.

After the event in Faneuil Hall, the Zionist warmongers came out of Faneuil Hall to walk the short distance to their "memorial". They were led by a whole bunch of people carrying a giant American flag. The flag was at least 30 feet, maybe bigger. There were US soldiers in uniform present. We yelled at the Zionist warmongers. "Stop the holocaust in Palestine". I yelled that Zionist Jews were murderers perpetrating a holocaust against Palestinians on stolen land in Palestine. I had to also point out that Americans are murderers. Dave Cutler yelled about the "Israelis' " crimes in Gaza last year where they burned Palestinian children alive with white phosphorous and other heinous experimental weapons.

The Zionist warmongers stood outside at their monument and conducted an obscene blasphemous disingenuous "kaddish" or "prayer for the dead" ceremony in which they misused the Jewish religion to try to legitimize genocide against Palestinians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Afghans, Iranians, other Arabs and Muslims and other people of the world.

I followed the Zionist warmonger towards the "monument". But the police told me that I could not approach the "monument" or yell near there, that I was disturbing a public event. They forced me to cross the street to the median. When I crossed the street, the third protester Bob Bowes, a West Point graduate and member of Veterans for Peace, was already there on the median. The police immediately arrested Bob with no warning. "Israeli Consulate" security were present and were directing Boston police activity. Bob was charged with 'disturbing a public assembly' and 'disorderly conduct' for protesting on a public street as we are entitled to do even according to the "constitution" of this racist "USA" colony.

Here is the flyer I made that we handed out that day:

STAND OUT FOR PALESTINE

Protest against the Zionist-sponsored holocaust commemoration at Faneuil Hall, Boston

Protest against "Israeli government" officials speaking at the holocaust commemoration 

Zionist Jews are perpetrating a holocaust against Palestinians on stolen land in Palestine!! 

Stop the holocaust in Palestine!!!

The "Israeli" government and Zionist groups are having a holocaust commemoration at Faneuil Hall this morning. "Israeli" Minister of Diaspora Affairs Yuli Edelstein, Consul General Nadav Tamir (the official representative of the "Israeli government" in "New England"), Consul General of Germany Friedrich Lohr, and other speakers will be using events that happened in the middle of the last century in Europe to attempt to justify 62 years of Jewish-supremacist colonial rule of Palestine and to attempt to justify the continuing Zionist-perpetrated genocide against the Palestinian people.

The fact that the Zionist regime has a cabinet department and minister of "disapora affairs" is open confirmation of the Zionist Entity's colonial nature. They have a government minister in charge of potential colonists all over the world. The Zionist Entity has no legitimate geographical territory. The Zionist Entity defines itself as a “Jewish State”, a “state for the Jews”. Its nationals, the “Jews”, are an ethno-religiously defined international privileged caste who mainly originate in Europe and who illegitimately colonize stolen land in Palestine. Yuli Edelstein, the minister of diaspora affairs, is a Russian-Ukrainian man who, in the 1980s, participated in Zionist-imperialist plots against the USSR (to overthrow the USSR's people's government, split apart the Soviet Union, and leave Eastern Europe ready to be conquered and plundered by international imperialist capitalists). The Soviet government correctly jailed Edelstein. When Edelstein was released he left the Soviet Union, moved to Palestine as a colonist, and eventually rose or was promoted to his current position in the Zionist regime.

65 years after the end of World War 2, Germany is still occupied by tens of thousands of U.S. troops. Just as Iraq and Afghanistan are occupied by the US, so is Germany. The occupation has just been going on for longer in Germany. The US “shock-and-awed” Germany with firebombings of cities and then invaded. The German government is a U.S./Zionist-controlled puppet regime. There is no free speech in Germany; people who disagree with the victors' official history of World War 2 are imprisoned. Germany has been forced to pay billions of dollars of "reparations" to the Zionist entity to fund genocide against Palestinians. The German puppet regime supported and participated in US/NATO-imperialist invasions of Yugoslavia and Afghanistan. This is the context in which Friedrich Lohr, the German puppet-regime's representative in Boston, will be grovelling to the Zionists at this "commemoration" at Faneuil Hall.

Faneuil Hall sits on land stolen from Native Americans. The “USA” was built on genocide of Native Americans, genocide and slavery of Africans, and on genocidal imperialist wars of plunder. People of Native American and African descent in the “USA” are still impoverished, oppressed & repressed, and are enslaved in great numbers in concentration camps euphemistically referred to as “prisons” and “jails”. If the people in power in Boston really had any concern about injustice and genocide, then they would stop this mistreatment of people of color in Boston and the rest of the “USA”, and they would stop the imperialist wars in the Middle East and elsewhere and would stop supporting “Israel”.

The people of the world will rise up in a Global Intifada to defeat the Zionist/US/UK/world capitalist empire! Then we can hold righteous commemorations in Faneuil Hall for the Nakba (the Zionist-perpetrated holocaust against Palestinians in 1948 and ongoing since then), the Native American holocaust, the African holocaust, and for the tens of millions of victims of US imperialist war holocausts.

Covering for Zionism, Inspiring Judeophobia

While the videoclip below is cute, it provides yet another example of a Jew, who albeit neither a member of the Zionist intelligentsia nor a member of the Zionist political economic oligarchy provides cover for massive wrongdoing in the USA and throughout the world by sarcastically equating any discussion of Jewish Zionist conspiracy with the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.



At one time such behavior might have been part of getting ahead in the Jewish-Zionist dominated music industry, but the big labels as less important today.

Nowadays this behavior probably results from the rather twisted Jewish educational system that developed in E. Europe and that has become even more perverted since Zionists began co-opting Jewish institutions throughout the world.

Among other things today's Jewish education makes it practically impossible for Jews to realize that they evoke increasing hostility when they babble about the Protocols in the face of open Jewish Zionist conspiracies

• to incite Islamophobia throughout the world, 
• to control discourse about the theft of Palestine by a bunch of racist genocidal E. Europeans, and 
• to jail as many Arab and Muslim American leaders as possible through subversion of the American constitutional system.

Most contemporary Jews are neither Zionist intellectuals nor Zionist plutocrats, but the statistics indicate that 80% of self-identifying Jews reflexively support the criminal genocidal terrorist State of Israel and automatically equate any criticism of the Zionist intelligentsia and plutocracy with anti-Semitism.

Nothing could be more reasonable and ethically obligatory today than animosity toward the overwhelming internal Jewish majority that shamelessly participates in Jewish Zionist social networks and that refrains from categorical condemnation either of the State of Israel or of the Zionist concept of the Jewish people.

NY Times Correction (?) = Zionist Propaganda:

CAMERA and Jewish Zionist facilitators with the NY Times staff have been busy bees.

Corrections

FRONT PAGE

A picture caption on Thursday with the continuation of a news analysis article about a shift in the Obama administration’s Middle East policy referred incorrectly to Ramat Shlomo, the name of a Jewish housing development that Israel says it is expanding despite objections by the United States and the Palestinian Authority. It is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem, not a settlement in the West Bank. (Go to Article)

While there is some justification for considering UN/Mandatory defined Jerusalem separate from the West Bank, Ramat Shlomo is on West Bank land that the Israeli government annexed to E. Jerusalem. It is definitely an illegal settlement, but to be precise one could call it a West Bank settlement located within the Israeli defined borders of Jerusalem.

Goldman Sachs: Long, Short Cons

I looked at the story below back in December (Against Whom Did Paulson Bet?). It stank then and still stinks.

Reading through the reports suggests not only a short con on Goldman Sachs investors, but also a long con on the US government and the American public. 

There is a Zionism connection because the principals a...re disproportionately Jewish and belong to major Jewish Zionist networks of trust on Wall Street. In the past such corrupt Jewish Zionist social networks could expect a pass because they crossed the government private sector boundary into the regulatory and law enforcement agencies. 

Even though Obama

• has brought some of the most vile Zionist Newton Jew types into his administration (e.g., Elena Kagan), 
• is considering nominating even worse (e.g., Martha Minow, v.  Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow considered for Supreme Court vacancy), and 
• has found positions for some subversives transcending Newton Jew villainy  (e.g., Dennis Ross, v. Walt Misunderstands Jewish Dual Loyalty),  

Jewish Zionist Wallstreeters may have lost some of their Jewish safety net because the administration has also brought a lot of people from outside the Jewish social networks into critical middle and lower level bureaucratic positions.

Shock "Therapy" Naomi Klein Missed

In her book entitled The Shock Doctrine, The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, Naomi Klein failed to address the effect of the 1973-4 Oil Embargo on Wall Street as well as on the WASP and Jewish elites of the USA.

The Oil  Crisis changed both general American and Jewish politics in the USA by tremendously reducing the wealth of the WASP and New York German Jewish elites while rising American Jews of E. European Ashkenazi background (the "Yids") saw an opportunity to rake in money, power, and status by doing deals with petrodollar investments.

The gold analyst James Sinclair (Seligman -- he seems to have ambiguous feelings about his Jewish heritage) has talked about the displacement of his stratum -- he uses the term "Our Crowd") within the Jewish community from all the major "Jewish" investment banks. (Listen to Jim Sinclair's Feb. 15, 2010 Interview.)

Phil Weiss has discussed the displacement of the WASP elite on his blog Mondoweiss but has not addressed the simultaneous displacement of the New York German American Jewish elite.

Zionist and non-Zionist historians have tended to treat the 1967 war as the turning point in ME politics and US foreign policy, but from the standpoint of political economics and cash flows, the world changed in 1973 even if the transformation was not generally perceived until at least a decade later.

My timeline for world Zionization can be found at Judonia, Balfour Declaration and Afterward.

Elena Kagan & Jewish Social Networks

Followup:  Revisiting Corrupt Jewish Social Networking

Despite previously overlooking the issue of  Elena Kagan's complete lack of track record in Justice Stevens' retirement and Elena Kagan, yesterday Glenn Greenwald addressed this aspect of her unsuitability as a nominee for the Supreme Court in The case against Elena Kagan:

Kagan's lack of a record

One of the difficulties in assessing Kagan's judicial philosophy and view of the Constitution is that direct evidence is extremely sparse.  That's not only because she's never been a judge, but also because (a) her academic career is surprisingly and disturbingly devoid of writings or speeches on most key legal and Constitutional controversies, and (b) she has spent the last year as Obama's Solicitor General, where (like any lawyer) she was obligated to defend the administration's policies regardless of whether she agreed with them.  As Goldstein wrote at SCOTUSblog:  "it seems entirely possible that Elena Kagan does not really have a fixed and uniform view of how to judge and to interpret the Constitution."

As I've previously documented and examine further below, the evidence that is available strongly suggests that a Kagan-for-Stevens substitution would move the Court to the Right in critical areas.  But Kagan's lack of a real record on these vital questions, by itself, should cause progressives to oppose her nomination.

Unfortunately, Greenwald did not address how such a clearly unqualified candidate could be receiving serious consideration and in fact how Elena Kagan could ever have become the dean of the Harvard Law School.

The question has an interesting connection to the Paolo Munzi case described as follows by the JTA:

Man sentenced for ‘Jewish lobby’ list

April 9, 2010

ROME (JTA) -- A Rome court has sentenced a man to six months in jail for having posted a list of 162 academics on his blog and describing them as members of an alleged "Jewish lobby."

In a verdict handed down April 8, Paolo Munzi, 42, was convicted of defamation. But he was acquitted of having violated privacy laws and a law against instigating racial hatred.

In February 2008, Munzi posted a list of 162 people, most of them university professors, and described them in negative terms as members of a Jewish lobby supporting Israel. Some of the professors on the list were not Jewish but had signed pro-Israel petitions. The blog had links to far-right and anti-Israel Web sites, calls to boycott Israel, and Holocaust deniers.

Because Munzi's blog has been shut down, finding out exactly what Munzi wrote is difficult, but Italy shuts down blog exposing Italy's Jewish academic mafia provides some interesting information:

Having lived and worked in education in Italy for many years, I can confirm as far as I could see, listings of academic staff for Italian universities, particularly those for senior posts, read like an attendance list at the local synagogue. I have lost count of the number of times I have overheard junior academic staff at Rome's universities comment that their chances of making professor let alone chairing a faculty are almost nil if they were "unlucky enough" not to be born into the self-styled "most picked on group of people in the world".

While I don't agree that naming names is the first line of attack against the problem of rampant cronyism and the rule of a tribal academic mafia, perhaps it has reached the stage that nothing else will suffice.

I have heard the same stories both in US academia and in the US finance industry where Jewish social networks enforce Zionist orthodoxy and promote their own. The same situation almost certainly exists in the legal profession and throughout the US government. 

My blog entry Gladwell Supports Hegemonic Zionist Discourse discusses both the social networks and the hegemonic blocking that generally prevents discussion of them. It appears that in Italy those that violate Jewish Zionist imposed controls on public expression suffer legal action according to long-standing and traditional Jewish practices.

The cluelessness of US foreign policy, US media, and ordinary Americans has become a topic of ridicule in the Arab world according to Caryle Murphy's Global Post article entitled How Saudis really see Americans. Her article discusses the following three commercials, which Dubai-based Tonic Communications developed for the Gulf region’s Burger King franchise-holder, Riyadh-based Olayan Group, a Saudi-owned international conglomerate.







I have had discussions with Harvard undergrads that believed Colombia was one of the 50 states of the USA.

Not only is the stereotyping of the Americans hardly outrageous, but it is completely consistent with the stultification program that US media appear to be following: Why Meatheads & Zionists Hate Aljazeera.

Without a doubt it is much easier

(1) for the Zionist political economic oligarchy and intelligentsia to manipulate US foreign policy and

(2) for corrupt Jewish Zionist social networks in the finance industry to loot the economy

if Jewish Zionist media owners and Jewish Zionist media gatekeepers keep the goyim ignorant and distracted.

... the desire to have on the Court someone who has demonstrated fealty to Obama's broad claims of executive authority is likely to be great.  

As but one example, see here as National Review's Ed Whelan, a former official in the Bush/Cheney OLC and a far-right legal ideologue, lavishly praises Kagan's record on "national-security and executive power" issues while discussing her possible nomination to the Court.  Such admiration for Kagan's record among the Right is far from unusual; as the NYT's Eric Lichtblau put it last year:

When Elena Kagan went before the Senate Judiciary Committee in February as President Obama’s nominee for solicitor general, Republicans were almost as effusive as the Democrats in their praise for her.

There was no daylight between Ms. Kagan, who was the dean of Harvard Law School, and Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, as he led her through a six-minute colloquy about the president’s broad authority to detain enemy combatants. . . . Indeed, there was so much adulation in the air from Republicans that one Democrat, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, joked at the hearing that she understood how Ms. Kagan "managed to get a standing ovation" from the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group.

Does that sound like an appropriate choice to replace Justice Stevens?

Unfortunately Greenwald fails to note that Kagan's record on "national-security and executive power" is intimately connected with her membership in the racist Zionist Newton Jew consensus to imprison or to kill as much of the American and non-American Arab and Muslim leadership as possible in order to make the world safe for Israel, Zionism, and expanding corrupt Jewish Zionist social networks. Kagan demonstrated her membership in the consensus by unflagging defense of Alan Dershowitz, who should have been fired from Harvard long ago, and by her promotion of Martha Minow, who has time and again proven to be nothing but a legal-theoretical propagandist for Zionist criminality.

Even worse Greenwald adds:

There won't be any questions about Kagan's qualifications, expertise or intellect -- she's  exceptionally smart and knowledgeable...

In point of fact, Kagan does not have much of a track record of accomplishment as is pointed out in Jewish Social Networking Goes Supreme!

A Kagan nomination would provide immense support for the thesis: Zionist Infestation Causes US Incompetence. Sphere: Related Content

[BBC] More Israeli Zionist Organ-Trafficking

Followup:  Consuming Everything But Palestinian Tears

A lot is left out in the following BBC article. Was the organ-trafficking ring preying mostly on poor Israeli Jews or on poor Israeli Arabs? Did the female victim come from upper or lower Nazareth? Were the organ-traffickers all Israeli or were non-Israeli Jewish communities involved?

Police smash Israeli organ-trafficking ring

A retired army brigadier general is among six suspects arrested by Israeli police investigating an organ-trafficking ring, police say.

The organisation offered as much as $100,000 (£65,600) for kidneys, which were transplanted by doctors in poor countries, a sting operation uncovered.

Police said they had been "shocked" by the extent of the smuggling ring.
Retired Gen Meir Zamir, arrested in connection with the trafficking, won a medal of valour in the Yom Kippur War.

[FREEP] Get all the facts out on imam's death

Acquaintances that knew Imam Luqman tell me that their interactions with him and his community were always quite positive.

The Imam was a friendly very decent man.

Even if Luqman's community wanted to live separately according to Sharia. So what? The Amish live separately as do Hassidim in Brooklyn and Spring Valley.

I went through the complaint justifying FBI targeting of Luqman and his group. It reads like a combination of entrapment with the plot from a 1970s blaxploitation film dealing with Black Power revolutionaries. 

The circumstances are rather different, but I can't help remembering the police killing of Amadou Diallo whenever I learn more details about the Luqman case.

Even if the charges are true -- something I doubt for numerous reasons, where were the Detroit and Michigan police during the operation? Was the ADL involved in fingering the Iman. The Department of Homeland security no longer pays attention to that Jewish hate group.

Not only is the justification for the involvement of the FBI on the basis of the AO-91 complaint questionable to say the least, but sending probably mostly white armed federal agents without uniforms  into Luqman's neighborhood without support from knowledgeable and trusted local police is practically guaranteed to produce unnecessary violence.

Get all the facts out on imam's death

Graphic autopsy photos of the lacerated and bullet-ridden body of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah were released Wednesday, stoking more suspicions -- warranted or not -- about how the Detroit Muslim leader died.

At the same time, recent media reports have also detailed a 1980 incident in which Abdullah tried to take a Livonia police officer's gun, telling him, "It'll either be you or me."

To be sure, the two bits of information don't have equal relevance to the questions that remain about Abdullah's death. But either piece of information, without the full story about how and why Abdullah was shot to death by FBI agents last fall, contributes to an air of distrust and speculation that won't serve this community well.

Which puts increased pressure on Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad to wrap up his department's investigation, and let all the facts speak for themselves.

Efforts to manage community sentiments by withholding information always fail -- and often backfire. With many lingering questions about how Abdullah died, Abdullah has become a national and even international figure -- and, in some circles, a martyr. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies have lost credibility with many of the Muslim-American groups they are trying to build relationships with in the post-9/11 era.

"This isn't going to go away until there are answers," said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations -- Michigan, which has also requested that the FBI turn over any video surveillance of the shooting. (An FBI spokesperson would not confirm or deny whether the agency had such evidence.)

Federal authorities have said Abdullah led a radical Sunni Islam group and had encouraged his members to commit violence against government officials. FBI agents said they shot Abdullah during an Oct. 28 raid after he shot an FBI dog.

News stories on Wednesday also reported that Abdullah served 26 days in jail in 1981, after assaulting a Livonia police officer who'd confronted him during a traffic stop.

The NAACP has joined a group called Muslim Advocates in asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to review the shooting and events leading up to it, including the use of informants at Abdullah's mosque. That remains a good idea.

But transparency is needed, one way or another, to restore public confidence.

Dearborn's prolonged investigation only fuels skepticism and erodes the credibility of law enforcement. In late December and again in February and March, Haddad, who was away Wednesday and unavailable for comment, stated the investigation should finish in a few weeks.

Earlier, Haddad had persuaded Wayne County to delay the release of Abdullah's autopsy report, which detailed 21 gunshot wounds, a broken jaw and teeth.

By now, it should be clear to the chief that the best way to dispel excessive suspicion and skepticism is to deliver the results of the investigation he said he would finish months ago.

DHS Doesn't Work With ADL

I attended the March 25 Islamic Society of Boston Community Center (ISBCC) panel discussion on Fusion Centers.

[See announcement at end of this blog entry. More discussion of Fusion Centers can be found in the following blog entries:

• Khaleej Times: Americans Divided by Hate Crimes Bill
• Karin Friedemann Threatened by SPLC
• Karin Friedemann: Response to SPLC
• The Incredible Bulk Attacks Karin Friedemann.]

I was glad to learn from David Gersten (Department of Homeland Security Director for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Program) that DHS unlike the FBI does not work with the ADL anymore because the ADL's Zionist agenda taints all information and assistance that this Jewish hate group might supply. 

I hope that the American Jewish Committee (AJCom) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) will receive similar treatment in the future. These two organizations are distributing a book that attempts to equate Arab with anti-Semite.  I have put an image of the book's cover before the announcement at the end of this article.

While understanding the agendas of Jewish hate-mongering organizations is important if DHS is to carry out its mission, undoing the appearance of American bias against Muslims and of US favoritism toward Jews is probably more important to keeping America safe because nothing is more likely to stoke the hatred that instigates attacks on the US than failure to act as a Rechtstaat by applying national and international law fairly, predictably, and without corruption.

Because contemporary politics makes justice impossible on Israel-Palestine-related issues, I don't have much hope that FBI agents are going to arrest the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces or Irving Moskowitz any time soon for aiding and abetting terrorism.

Nevertheless, the Israeli government's official terrorist policy should be obvious to anyone, who like Justice Richard Goldstone has spent a few months with Palestinians in the occupied territories. (See Jewish Zionists don't Commit Terrorism?, Latest US-Israeli Point Of Tension Sparked By American Developer's Housing Plans, and Yashar LaChayal.)

Yet the DHS Office for Civil Rights & Civil Liberties could do a lot to decrease internal and external anger at the US government without crossing political redlines by helping Arab and Muslim political prisoners that have been subjected to outrageous travesties of justice.

It is hard to identify the worst victim, but I put Yassin Aref among the top contenders. He is currently seeking a Stevens review of his case, but because of Zionist subversion throughout the US legal system, I do not have much hope that he will have success.

[Comment:  Chances of proving to the court that Aref did not get a fair trial is a very remote possibility, but this is the last remaining and desperate move left at his disposal. Aref's 2255 arguments are very lengthy and, I think, many of them are irrelevant, but I am not an lawyer.]

Other Materials on Zionist Political Prisoners Incarcerated in the USA 

Rounded Up: Artificial Terrorists and Muslim Entrapment After 9/11

by Shamshad Ahmad, PhD

Troy Book Makers: 2009

Reviewed by Karin Friedemann

While Iraqi Kurdish refugee Yassin Aref was serving as imam at an Islamic center in Albany, NY, the US DOJ filed terrorism charges against him because of the alleged presence of his name in an address book found in the pocket of a "terrorist" killed by US Iraq soldiers.

After this claim proved false and the result of a false translation, the US government resorted to "secret evidence" to continue prosecution on non-terrorism charges.

“How can a trial be called fair if a defendant, or even a defendant’s attorney, cannot challenge the evidence of the accusation against him?” asks the author.

Step by step this book details the injustices suffered by Aref and the local community.

The legal atrocity starts when the FBI raided the mosque in the culmination of a sting operation. An accused felon serving as a cooperating witness hoped to avoid prosecution in return for fingering Aref and local pizzeria owner Mohammed Hossain as dangerous Islamic terrorists. Such sting operations have been part of a larger strategy on the part of the Neocon-corrupted FBI and DOJ to justify selective surveillance and prosecution of Muslim Americans..

A show trial based on secret evidence ended with a guilty verdict and an extremely harsh sentence.

Dr. Ahmad describes how improper prosecutorial psychological tactics, US government manipulation or miscategorization of the evidence, and judicial misconduct gave the false impression the defendant was involved with terrorism when the actual albeit false charges pertained to money laundering.

Despite the ongoing Zionist transformation of the USA into a police state, many supportive community members, journalists, and cartoonists actively demonstrated their belief in Aref’s innocence.

These American patriots bridged the gap between the immigrant Muslims and the local community in order to preserve the freedom of an innocent man and to save what is left of America’s political integrity.

This book is an extremely painful and frustrating journey through the perversion of US law enforcement which smears the innocent as terrorists in an ongoing effort to marginalize Muslim Americans under the cover of ferreting out stealth terrorists, who are American citizens and residents.

Everyone falsely accused in the Neocon-subverted legal system should have a friend like Dr. Ahmad to tell his story point by point.

I hope that the evidence presented in this book will help win Aref’s freedom in his appeal process.

Those interested in learning more about the life and travails of Yassin Aref may wish to also read his book “Son of Mountains,” available at http://www.yassinaref.com/ .

[Comment: Noor Elashi, who is the daughter of Ghassan Elashi (HLF Defendant), wrote the last article. I would not describe the legal persecution that Elashi and others have experienced as McCarthyism. There was a good deal of truth in some of McCarthy's charges as access to Soviet archives was later to show. (I guess I have to admit that I am a Republican by inclination.) The USA terrorism trials are far more analogous to Stalin's show trials or to the Spanish inquisition.
