Clarion Fund Snags Coup, ‘Third Jihad’ Distributed Online by Snag Films

In this article Richard Silverstein reports that Snag Films founded by AOL founders Steve Case and Ted Leonsis is distributing The Clarion Fund's new hate film entitled The Third Jihad.

The film works very hard to demonize Islam for being a proselytizing religion. In many regards it is an expression of Jewish prejudice, for Aish haTorah students and staff almost certainly have an equally hostile view of Christian efforts to convert non-Christians to Christianity at least in the case of non-Christians that are Jewish.

I could quite easily create anti-Jewish propaganda pseudodocumentary based in a similarly distorted depiction of Jewish beliefs and daily prayers. See Followup: Jewish, Zionist War Against Salvation and Re: Followup: Jewish, Zionist War Against Salvation, but such a film would miss the key unstated theme of The Third Jihad, which is the effort of Zionists to suppress all criticism and action against Israel.

There is really only one value and one freedom at issue despite the attempt of the film's numerous Zionist spokesman and lackeys to disguise their real concerns.

As much as Zionists attempt to impose thought control on Americans, support for Zionism is not an American value, and the only freedom that American Muslims might almost uniformly question is the right of Zionists to manipulate this US government into providing unqualified support for the State of Israel and into wasting trillions of dollars in order to make the world safe for Zionism by incinerating Arab and Muslim countries.

According to the message of The Third Jihad, the only true Muslim moderates are those that swear complete allegiance to Neoconservative Zionism.

In a standard tactic of anti-Judaism a Jewish informant discloses the real dirt about Judaism to gentiles. The script of The Third Jihad brings this technique to Islamophobia with the substitution of Islam for Judaism and Muslim for Jew. In this particular instance Syrian American Muslim Zuhdi Jasser serves as the primary "good Muslim informant."

Maybe it reflects the nature of the Hafiz el-Assad regime, but Syrian origin psychiatrist Wafa Sultan and German Professor Bassam Tibi share a lot of the basic Neocon view of the world with Zuhdi Jasser.

When I met Tibi at Harvard, I was not particularly impressed with his comprehension of Central and Eastern European history and politics.

I give him credit for reading Hannah Arendt (see "The Totalitarianism of Jihadist Islamism and its Challenge to Europe and to Islam" in: Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions, Vol. 8, No. 1, March 2007, 35–54.), but I do not believe he understood her or her context, and I have some real problems when he applies his partial understanding of Arendt's concepts to issues of Islamic politicization as found in the Islamic world and in Europe.

islamozionism: Neoconservative Think Tank Influence on US Policies: Overall US Foreign Policy

Today, the Zionist virtual colonial motherland (Judonia) runs a mature imperial system complete with a settler colony (the Israeli "state"), revenue colonies (Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Thailand, Poland, Rumania, Hungary, Georgia, etc. -- see The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein), and client states (the USA, the UK, France, Germany, etc.), but bringing Zionist imperialism to this level of achievement required careful planning and manipulation. This article provides a timeline of the Gleichschaltung of US foreign policy to serve Judonian interests. Sphere: Related Content

The Rabbi's Cow is Always Kosher (II)

Self-Interest Modifies Decisions or Judgments

 

I used a translation of a cynical Yiddish proverb for the title of the blog entry on the Agriprocessors story.

 

In Jewish law there are many reasons why a Rabbi might declare meat from a slaughtered cow non-kosher, but in the case of his own cow and his own economic self-interest, he might judge the entrails differently.

 

Arabic has a similar proverb (in Colloquial Egyptian).

 

قالوا للقضي حيطة شخ عليها الكلب قال لازم هدّها قالوا دي اللي بيننا وبينكم قال قليل من الماء يطهرها

 

They said to the Qadi: A wall – the dog pissed on it.

He said: Obligatory to knock it down.

They said: That adjoining between us and you (plural).

He said: A little water purifies it.

 

[It's a lot pithier in Arabic.]

 

This sort of situational ethics has become the norm of far too many Jews that support all sorts of racist practices in the Israeli context even though historically in the American context Jews have opposed discriminatory laws when applied to Jews and often also when applied to non-Jews.

 

The Jewish insistence on Holocaust restitution is quite hypocritical when far too many Jews make all sorts of mental contortions to justify the refusal to restore properties or residence rights of which Palestinians have been wrongfully deprived.

 

US foreign policy like that of other great powers has long suffered from a similar sort of hypocrisy, but since Jewish Zionist Neocons become dominant in the US policy-making establishment, US foreign policy hypocrisy -- now resulting from attention both to American and also to Zionist interests -- has reached hitherto unachieved heights when officials like Condi Rice address the ME, Russia and Georgia. 

 

Similar pretence has spread throughout the DOJ, for the Bush administration uses the court system to persecute Muslim charities at the same time Jewish and Zionist individuals and organizations provide massive ongoing material support of Zionist terrorism.

 

Any American believing in equality before the law should be offended.

 

Not only are far too many Americans clueless about history or foreign policy issues, but all sense of morality or fundamental American principles has been lost. Support for Zionism spreads poison throughout American culture and especially among those like Richard Land and his white evangelical associates and supporters, who claim to be most concerned with American values.

What Would Abraham Cahan Think?

Freudian Slip of Freudian Slips
by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

 

I saw the Forward editorial The Wages of Indecision on Friday and passed it on to Phil Weiss, who addressed it in a blog entry entitled The Klein Effect; 'The Forward' 'Jokes' that Zionist Neocons Pushed Iraq War for Israel

 

The most interesting points made by the Forward are the following. (The column can be found at the end of this blog entry because this sort of Jewishly-embarrassing item has a history of vanishing from the online archives of the Forward -- "A Skeleton in the Jewish Family Closet" -- and the New York Jewish Week -- "Modern Orthodoxy under Attack".)

• Blaming the Jews for the world's troubles is one of the oldest of spectator sports.

In other words, we should not point any accusatory fingers at the Israeli government, American Israeli advocacy groups, or groups within the organized Jewish community for threatening or lobbying for an Iran attack, whose mere mention tends to send oil prices into the stratosphere and whose harm to international relations would last for decades. 

• In March 2003 came the few dozen Zionist neocons who finagled the Bush administration into invading Iraq for Israel's benefit.

In other words, the web of American Zionist political economic oligarchs, Zionist think tanks, Israeli Advocacy organizations, Zionist academics, and Jewish communal groups really was not involved in manipulating the US government into causing massive death, destruction and dislocation in Iraq for no reason whatsoever, and we should not be discussing issues of law and justice in dealing with a massive number of Jewish Zionist malefactors and conspirators, who remain in positions of power and influence within the USA.

• Rivers of ink have been spilled examining Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire Las Vegas gaming mogul, who has spent millions in the past two years to hobble Olmert and boost the pro-settler right.

In other words, there is apparently too much scrutiny of Adelson's attempts to manipulate US politics and to control the Israeli government.

• The sentiment that seems to come out of some quarters in Israel is that Diaspora Jews can and should speak out on the affairs of every country, except the one they care about most deeply.

In other words, the Forward may point out that far too many politically influential American Jews conceal their primary loyalty to State of Israel, but if non-Jews wonder about Jewish tribalism, they are anti-Semites.

• Good-government types in Jerusalem take pride in the American-style reforms already enacted. One was the introduction in 1988 of party primaries, replacing backroom nominating committees. Primaries forced candidates for public office to raise big money to reach voters. Ever since, Israel has been plagued by a never-ending series of political finance scandals.

In other words, going back to backroom selection would be preferable to fixing the primary system either in the USA or in the State of Israel. Obviously in the US case, the influence of Jewish political organizers, contributors, and fund-raisers would increase tremendously.

• What drives otherwise sober Israelis to concoct such hare-brained schemes and silly theories? Simply put, most can't face the depressing fact that they are hopelessly divided, making consensual democracy elusive.

In other words, there should be a dictator or political decisions should be left in the hands of Jewish plutocrats or Zionist Jewish oligarchs. The Forward has duplicated much of the anti-democratic reasoning of La doctrina del fascismo of Mussolini.

I know that the new English-language Forward probably mostly reflects the views of Michael Steinhardt, who is the major investor, but after spending so much time in archival research of the Yiddish Forverts (פֿאָרװערטס), I am depressed at the complete abandonment of such a rich tradition of socialism, Yiddishism and Americanism to serve the interests of Jewish plutocrats that the founding editor, Abraham Cahan, would have despised

 

Yet, I have to admit that in the 1920s Cahan became enmeshed in American Zionism and may have helped plant the seeds for today's Forward.

From The Forward:

The Wages of Indecision
Editorial

Thu. Jul 31, 2008

Blaming the Jews for the world's troubles is one of the oldest of spectator sports. Lately, though, the practice has been refined to a level of theatrical fantasy approaching high art. In November 2000 there were those few thousand confused Jewish seniors from Palm Beach County who threw American democracy into chaos with their butterfly ballots. In March 2003 came the few dozen Zionist neocons who finagled the Bush administration into invading Iraq for Israel's benefit. Now we're down to a single, sad-faced old gent from Long Island, one Morris Talansky, who has driven Israel's ship of state onto the rocks by throwing dollars at the prime minister.

Talansky is the reluctant star of Israel's latest political crisis, the impending downfall of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The generous New Yorker riveted Israelis in May testimony describing how he handed envelopes stuffed with the cash to the prime minister's aides. That deposition was the tipping point in Olmert's losing battle ag ainst corruption charges.

Journalists and academics have responded with breathless debates over the role of Diaspora Jews, particularly rich American Jews, in Israeli decision-making. Talansky isn't alone in the dock. Rivers of ink have been spilled examining Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire Las Vegas gaming mogul, who has spent millions in the past two years to hobble Olmert and boost the pro-settler right. Others have come before, including Australian mining magnate Joseph Gutnick, a backer of Benjamin Netanyahu , and Florida physician Irving Moscowitz, who funds settler institutions.

The smart Israel-watchers say these Diaspora Jews play an outsized and perhaps illegitimate role in Israeli politics, that foreigners have no business interfering in other countries' internal politics. They often add that hawks are more likely than doves to play the game, forgetting that wealthy liberals like Edgar Bronfman and S. Daniel Abraham were the bogeymen of earlier decades.

Israelis are more blunt. More than a few say that Jews in the Diaspora have little right to weigh in on Israeli policy decisions because they don't live in Israel and bear the consequences.

But foreigners step into other countries' politics all around the world. They donate to political parties in South Africa and Taiwan, launch human rights groups in Poland and Hungary, march for policy changes in Russia, Sudan and Iran. Sometimes they simply invade.

The sentiment that seems to come out of some quarters in Israel is that Diaspora Jews can and should speak out on the affairs of every country, except the one they care about most deeply.

Israelis have been complaining about government dysfunction since the state was born, as though creating a new nation, winning five wars and absorbing two million immigrants all happened by accident. They blame the failures on a system paralyzed by structural flaws. The solution is usually something like the American system, with its incorruptible presidency, efficient Congress and immunity from special interests and fundamentalist religious pressure groups.

Good-government types in Jerusalem take pride in the American-style reforms already enacted. One was the introduction in 1988 of party primaries, replacing backroom nominating committees. Primaries forced candidates for public office to raise big money to reach voters. Ever since, Israel has been plagued by a never-ending series of political finance scandals.

The other reform was the personal election of the prime minister, enacted in 1992. Under the old system, the largest party in parliament assembled a governing coalition and named the prime minister. The reform was supposed to strengthen the executive and make the fractious parliament more tractable. Instead, it freed Israelis from pressure to vote for one of the big parties that would pick the prime minister. Voters could use their second, parliamentary ballot as a form of personal expression. As a result, the Knesset imploded into a jungle of tiny parties. The job of assembling enough factions to create and preserve a governing coalition became all but hopeless. The reform was rescinded in 2003, but to no avail. Since 1992, not one Israeli government has survived a full term.

What drives otherwise sober Israelis to concoct such hare-brained schemes and silly theories? Simply put, most can't face the depressing fact that they are hopelessly divided, making consensual democracy elusive. Half the country wants to keep the West Bank and half wants to withdraw, and each side thinks the other threatens Israel's survival. The stakes are enormous, civility in short supply. Still, trying to sidestep the debate by tinkering with the rules — or trying to silence their friends — only makes things worse. Israelis need to decide, for their own sakes.

Why Not Remove Zionist Interlopers?

Neocons Made 5 Million Refugees
by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

According to the International Herald Tribune, World refugee population jumps to 11.4 million in terms of UNHCR responsibility. The article explains that approximately 5 million refugees result from US Iraq and Afghanistan policy, which has been crafted by Neocons acting as a Jewish special interest group. The article does not mention how many have become refugees because of Jewish Zionist Neocon manipulation of US policy in Somalia and the Sudan.

The IHT refugee numbers do not include Palestinian refugees, who number at least five million under the aegis of UNWRA and whose existence results from Jewish Zionist racist aggression and rapaciousness.

If so many people have become refugees as a result of Zionist expansion in the Middle East and as a result of the efforts of a racist Zionist intelligentsia in the USA, shouldn't we be considering the removal of the criminal genocidal Zionist population of thieves, interlopers, and invaders from Stolen and Occupied Palestine as part of the program to stabilize the ME and restore US credibility and moral high ground?

The lack of any such open national discussion in the USA indicates how much Zionism has eaten away American liberties and how much 4-500 Zionist oligarchs have come to dominate US politics both

• by rendering US national politicians dependent on Zionist contributions and also
• by funding the Israel lobby to intimidate any political leader straying from Zionist parameters.

Two Poems about Palestine

Real Heroes, Zionist Mental Colonization

by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

 

The two poems below entitled "O Gaza Students"by Nizar Qabani and "You Want to Quibble Over Whether or Not It's Genocide?" by Robert Green clearly identify the heroes and threats of the twenty-first century.

 

Qabani is a renowned Arabic poet, but because my Arabic is not yet good enough to appreciate Arabic poetry, I can only consider the content and not the poesy per se.

 

I have to thank Adib Qa`war for these wonderful translations that make practicing Arabic so easy.

 

I swapped the order of the bicycle and milk bottle stanzas to correspond to the order of the Arabic poem.

 

I changed the English line "This is the Zionist era..." to "This is the Jewish era..." to translate the Arabic original more accurately.

 

I understand Qa`war's reluctance to translate that line literally.

 

Zionists have so manipulated American discourse that stating the obvious brings accusations of anti-Semitism even though in the experience of Palestinians

• practically all the Zionists are Jews,
• practically all the Jews are Zionists, and
• Israel defines itself as the Jewish state.

Because of the political and economic disaster to which Bush administration Neocon policy makers have brought the USA, Jewish behavior is under close scrutiny in both the USA and in the region under Israeli control.

 

Because so many Americans are so obviously becoming annoyed with both the Israel Lobby and the organized Jewish community, I prefer to translate the plain meaning of the text and ignore any resultant vacuous ranting.

 

I have to agree with Qabani that we should all be ashamed that such beautiful Palestinian children have essentially been abandoned to struggle alone against the combined might of Neocon (Jabotinskian Zionist) genocidalism and Neoliberal (Friedmanite) rapaciousness.

 

Since the Iran-Contra Affair Jabontinskians and Friedmanites have worked together to plunder the poor and the middle class throughout the world in order to increase the wealth and power of people already in the uppermost economic class.

 

We Americans really do have to learn courage from the Palestinian resistance so that we too can fight back now that these two transnational mostly ethnic Ashkenazi political elites (see Jewish, Zionist War Against Salvation ) have turned their attentions to exploit Americans in the aftermath of their failure to loot Iraq and Lebanon.

 

As a rally cry against the hybrid Jabotinskian-Friemanite threat, Qabani's poem works.

 

In contrast, Green's lament is troubling

 

I am acquainted with Robert Green, and fortunately he is no David Ben-Gurion even if he is a distant relative. As far as I know, he is not even Jewish, and he strongly supports the Palestinian resistance, but his poem inappropriately equates the destruction of Yiddish culture in E. Europe with the premeditated program to murder Arab Palestine.

 

World War I and Soviet communism (especially the Jewish-led Yevsektsia or Jewish section) gave Yiddish culture the coup de grâce long before Hitler took power in Germany.

 

While genocidal hatred of Jews developed in the first half of the twentieth century mostly as a reaction to the role that some radical Jews played as the quintessential Soviet class trying both to perfect and also to spread the communist revolution throughout the world, the primary Zionist sources indicate that angry disenfranchised ethnic Ashkenazi intelligentsia plotted the murder of Arab Palestine in cold blood in E. Europe since the 1880s simply as a stepping stone to obtaining the power, wealth, and status to which they believed they were entitled. (See The Pattern of Ethnic Ashkenazi Genocidalism: The Jewish Century by Yuri Slezkine. Note that Jewish Friedmanism and Jewish Marxism are fundamentally twisted mirror images of each other.)

 

Green's poem both

• glosses over the many crimes that German and Eastern European Jews planned or undertook long before the Holocaust started and also
• absolves unrepentant Zionist perpetrators by incorrectly depicting their crimes as the result of impersonal historical development even though the Zionist leadership was from the start and remains to this day genuinely malevolent.

Poems like Green's show Zionist colonization of the mind.

 

Consider the last stanza:

 

I can't find my grandmother's village

on a map of Belarus, what she called "White Russia."

It was called "Kapulya," "near Minsk,"

but it's not there.

as isn't Palestine.

 

Kapulya, which is also Kopil or Kopyl, still exists. The town has about 10,000 people

 

A major aspect of the Zionist program consisted of disconnecting Jews from Eastern Europe and their real past so that they could be more easily indoctrinated to believe that they really belonged in Palestine and that Palestine belonged to them. Neither claim is true. Yet, Palestine can still be saved if the lies that dominate American political, popular, and academic discourse about Jews and the State of Israel can be exposed.

 

No one likes to be conned, and thanks to Neocon scam artists, the legal mechanisms are fully in place to retaliate against Zionists with medieval vindictiveness. We Americans simply have to demand that the US government prosecute Jewish Zionists for their criminal violations in the same way it does non-Jews. No American group is above the law, and America has no hereditary aristocracy despite the beliefs of far too many Jews in their own superiority.

 

Obviously prosecuting, penalizing, and incarcerating American Jewish Zionists won't compensate the Palestinian children pictured below for all the abuse, suffering, degradation, oppression, and death that they should never have experienced, but such punishment of members of the Israel Lobby and the organized Jewish community is a good start on the path to full retribution.

          Poem by Robert Green, former Board member of Deir Yassin Remembered and distant relative of David Ben Gurion

 

You Want to Quibble Over Whether or Not It's Genocide?

 

Then let's forget the word entirely

it's a made up modern word

for what's been done by tribes since before before

made up by Raphael Lemkin

1943

to name what was happening to us

which until then

was known as the crime of barbarity

now genocide

which I know

I agreed not to mention

but it was done to us

and now we're doing it to the next guy

the Palestinians

if we are allowed that word

like the word 'Jew' or really, "Juden"

a word that was supposed to be wiped out

with us

but wasn't

but our lives

one thousand years in Europe

our home

cleansed of us

and they said we were not a true people

"a people class" said Lenin

"a disease" said others

and now we're doing it to the next guy

OK, no gas ovens

that we know of

yet

but poison gas aplenty

torture rooms

a special hanging called "a Palestinian hanging"

that now the Americans use

hang a human

by the wrists

tied together

back behind

till they crush their own lungs

over hours

maybe a few days

and die in horror

done so much

it's called "a Palestinian hanging"

and steal the land

and wall them in

and starve their babies

beat the pregnant women in front of their children

their mothers

their husbands

and the land, stealing it, walling it, pissing on it,

wiping out the place names.

I can't find my grandmother's village

on a map of Belarus, what she called "White Russia."

It was called "Kapulya," "near Minsk,"

but it's not there.

as isn't Palestine.
