(Revisionist) Zionists Desiring Arabs

Palestinians as Jabotinskian Ideological Props
by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

The Jewish Radical Right, Revisionist Zionism and its Ideological Legacy, by Eran Kaplan can be extremely helpful in understanding Neocon goals and mentality because the Neocons of today are simply the American branch of the Jabotinskian (Revisionist) Zionist intelligentsia,

• which is politically dominant in the State of Israel and
• whose thinking influences or dominates the majority of American Zionist Jews including those like Rahm Emanuel, who are not officially Neocons.

In the excerpt below Eran Kaplan discusses various themes

• that appear in the writings of Jabotinskian Zionist leader Abba Achimeir in the 30s,
• that still continue to appear in American Zionist discourse to this day and
• that have even taken over the Republican Party in some sense.

Examples include:

• the persistent attempt to fit Christian Arabs into the Eastern European Ashkenazi historical model,
• the attack on science, and
• the implicit equation (or at least correlation) of socialism with anti-Semitism in attacks on Obama during the waning days of the McCain Presidential Campaign.

In order to undo the damage the Neocon Jabotinskian Zionists have caused the USA, concerned citizens will have to work hard to make sure that the Jabotinskian ideological narrative that suffuses the thinking of Jewish American Zionists like Rahm Emanuel, Martha Minow, and Lawrence Summers is prevented from dominating American political discourse, discussion and debates.

[Note that I have previously discussed Joseph Massad's new book Desiring Arabs in Participating in an Obsolete Discourse and Feb. 11, Harvard: Joseph Massad. The latter blog entry suggests that fully understanding the influence of Western discourse about Arab sexuality on Arab discourse about Arab sexuality requires awareness of Jewish Zionist discourse about (Arab) sexuality and how the latter discourse affects Western and Arab discourse. Even though Achimeir is using Arabs in order to make a statement about European Jewish culture, "Raskolnikov in the Central Jail" belongs for the most part to the probably insufficiently investigated Jewish Zionist discussion of Arab sexuality. Because of the importance of Jewish intellectuals and academics in the West, ideas like those of Achimeir fairly quickly become part of normative Western discourse.]

The Jewish Radical Right, Revisionist Zionism and its Ideological Legacy

By Eran Kaplan

(pp. 37-41)

 

Achimeir pegged the beginning of the Jewish decline to the ap­pearance of Ezra, the great reformer, and not, as Spengler would have it, to the emergence of the Jewish ghetto in Christian Europe. Unlike Spengler, Achimeir did not view Judaism as a historical anomaly, a Magian nation trapped in the Faustian world, but rather as a (once) normal nation that experienced a decline as a result of the loss of its national home. The Jewish tragedy was that as a result of the loss of its territorial and political base, Judaism reinvented itself as an international entity: Yavneh, a strictly religious center, overtook Jerusalem -- as both religious center and political capital -- whereas the Talmud, a product of the Diaspora, superseded the Bible, which tells the story of a sovereign nation living on its own land.

 

Achimeir provided what is perhaps the most introspective depic­tion of the Jewish predicament in a short story titled "Raskolnikov in the Central Jail." Achimeir's Raskolnikov is a young prisoner in Jerusalem's central jail, who, like the protagonist of Crime and Pun­ishment, has a tormented soul. But unlike Dostoyevsky's Raskolni­kov, the predicament of Achimeir's is strictly the result of his unique national condition and history, not the consequence of a crime that he has committed.

 

Achimeir described the inmate as a young Christian Arab who has been convicted of murder. He is part of the jail's Arab population, but he is an outsider in this group because of his religion. His name, Jesus-originally a Jewish name, Achimeir points out-further sep­arates the inmate from his fellow Arab prisoners.

 

After his conviction Achimeir's Raskolnikov chooses to wear a red jail outfit, which symbolizes his interests in socialism and Marxism. At the same time he is popular among the jail's Catholic population because he was convicted by Protestant (English) authorities. As a murderer he is admired by the other prisoners, because killers oc­cupy the top of the jail's criminal hierarchy. But at the same time the jail's administrators like him because he is a productive worker in the jail's printing shop (Achimeir claimed that printer is a historically Jewish occupation).

 

Achimeir offered a detailed description of the sexual habits of the jail's male population. He argued that the European prisoners tend to act as both males and females in their sexual relationships. The Eastern prisoners, on the other hand, assume only one role, as either man or woman. According to Achimeir, his Raskolnikov should have been a male in his sexual relations with other inmates because of his great stature among the prisoners. However, the prisoner was once a prostitute who performed the feminine role in his relations with male clients, so in jail he becomes the "female" partner of the most dominant prisoners. Achimeir also described the inmate's manner of dress on Sundays, writing that when his protagonist goes to pray in church, he wears an Arab robe as well as Western pants, emphasizing his dual identity as a man of both East and West.

 

Achimeir published "Raskolnikov in the Central Jail" in August 1935, not long after he himself was released from this facility. The writer had been arrested because of his alleged involvement in the as­sassination of Chaim Arlozoroff and in other illegal activities of Brith ha-Biryonim, and the story reflects Achimeir's experiences in jail. But the story also provides a unique analysis of the plight of Judaism.

 

Achimeir's Raskolnikov is a tormented soul, because he lacks true  identity. He is at once part of the Occident and the Orient. He is dom­inant yet feminine and a Marxist who is a practicing Catholic. Raskol­nikov represents the condition of the Diaspora Jews, even those phys­ically living in Palestine-torn between opposing identities, between their own national needs and their extraterritorial international con­dition, unable to uncover and realize their true nature.

 

According to Achimeir, the schism in the Jewish soul is mani­fested in the two main religious and philosophical movements that Jews founded: Christianity and Marxisrn. (His Raskolnikov prac­tices both.) These two movements advocate universal messages that transcend national boundaries, and, for Jews who had lost their national identity, they offered a framework that promised salvation. This promise, however, was false because universalistic ambitions only suppressed humans' true nature, which for Achimeir could be expressed only through the nation. Thus, like Raskolnikov in Jerusa­lem's central jail, the Jews were torn between their knowledge that they had a unique identity and the universal role that they had as­sumed in the Diaspora.

 

According to Achimeir, the Zionist movement fell into the same trap of oppositions as his Raskolnikov did in its futile attempts to resurrect the Jewish national home. Instead of focusing on reviving the Jewish national urge, the movement attempted to justify its na­tionalist goals by declaring itself part of a universalistic movement, socialism. Revisionist monism was a fight against socialism. But, ac­cording to Achimeir, it was also a fight against self- hatred. When Jews were willing to go to jail for foreign ideals and values, they were acting against themselves, against their national nature. They were wast­ing their historic opportunity to return to their golden age. As Achi­meir put it elsewhere, ''A war against socialism is a war against anti­-Semitism. From this the conclusion is that the war against socialism is not only a war for monism but also against anti-Semitism."

 

In Spengler's cyclical view of human history, all cultures go through an initial phase of growth, which is marked by faith and spirituality. Cultural vitality, according to Spengler, is characterized by national independence and unity and by an unrestrained will to power. A culture's decline, on the other hand, is marked by a pre­occupation with matter and by the rise of sciences that deal with the material world and eliminate the religious and spiritual. While Spengler's scheme is pessimistic, because cultures cannot escape their impending doom, it also leaves room for optimism, because by understanding history, people can understand which factors could create a thriving new culture.

 

Spengler argued that war is part of nature, whereas peace is the result of the preaching of intellectuals. Pacifism is but an illusion, a mark of senility and decay. Whoever adopts pacifism abandons the future. Strong and vital races are not pacifistic; they embrace war, and war and violence are the marks of an emerging culture. Achi­meir wholeheartedly adopted Spengler's stance on this point. In a letter addressed to Hebrew youth, Achimeir wrote: "It seems that Spengler's prophecy about the declining West in light of the degener­ation of the socialist and liberal worldviews saved Europe from the parliamentary rule of chattering politicians, and, more important, national dictatorship saved the people of central Europe from civil war and Marxist utopias." [Achimeir wrote the preceeding statement in September 1934 and is probably referring to the transformation of Germany into a Nazi dictatorship.]

 

The only way for the Hebrew nation to revitalize itself, Achimeir maintained, was by rejecting the dominant ideologies of the West, which preached pacifism and other universal ideals, and by return­ing to the pre-exilic Israelite ethos of the warrior judges who had roamed the ancient land. The Jews should not emulate the declining West but return to their own national values. The West, Achimeir argued, had become a culture of science and rationality and had lost its vitality. Zionism should not follow in this path. It should not give up its national interests in the name of false ideals but instead should seek spiritual unity. True Zionists would have to be true monists.

Syria Comment: Obama Disatches Malley to Syria?

Will Obama appoint Robert Malley, a director of the International Crisis Group, as a point man on the Middle East? If he does, it is a sign of restored sanity and promise for the future.

Malley is one of the few Americans who has taken the time and energy to understand Syria’s point of view and make contacts in Damascus when this was not easy to do. He was compelled to clarify that he had no official link to the Obama campaign in January, when some accused him of terror sympathising because he met with Khalid Mishaal, the head of Hamas.

Another Zionist Racist Serving Obama?

Martha Minow Jewish Bigot

In search for expertise, Harvard looms large suggests that Jewish racist Martha Minow is in line for an appointment to the Obama administration. An op-ed by Professor Martha Minow and Gabriella Blum: The Israeli ... is an example of Zionist propaganda that Minow co-wrote with former IDF legal advisor Gabriela Blum and inserted into the Boston Globe.

The presence of Minow in an Obama administration would be far scarier than the Rahm Emanuel appointment because increasing the already heavy participation of Jewish racists in the legal system will drive away foreign Arab and Muslim sources of liquidity because Arabs and Muslims can only invest here if the US legal system is predictable and non-discriminatory.

The more Jewish bigots serving in the DOJ, the more Arabs and Muslims must assume that the USA is a Judenstaat, where Jews are privileged over non-Jews and not a Rechtstaat, where there is genuine equal protection under a regular system of laws and regulations. Sphere: Related Content

Samuel Gruber's Jewish Art & Monuments: Presidents and Synagogues

In this article Samuel Gruber discusses presidential visits to synagogues. During his presidency, George W.

Yet neither Obama nor McCain visited a mosque during the presidential campaign.

The USA needs investments from Arab Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), and Sven Behrendt identifies the need for the opening of a discussion about the creation of an international framework to govern the activities of all SWFs, but can the USA enter into such a dialogue if US political leaders appear to disdain Arab and Muslim American citizens?

While I commend the coverage that Shmarya Rosenberg has provided of Obsession, I am disappointed in his description of events during 2005.

Every so-called Palestinian terror attack during the period from 2000-2006 is much more validly viewed as a legitimate Palestinian response to extreme Zionist provocations that usually involved IDF attacks on Palestinians resulting in 3-10x as many deaths of protected Palestinian non-combatants than the Palestinian response caused of Zionist interlopers, invaders and thieves.

Only a completely warped ethnocentric mentality can fail to realize that people living in a stolen country, generally on stolen property, and often in stolen homes have no legitimate basis to justify the expectation of safety or security in their daily lives.

JUSTICE: Ron Allen: No longer endorsing Sen. McCain

This endorsement by native American tribal leader Ron Allen is interesting. Until Democratic Senator Byron Dorgan took over as Chairman in 2006, Senator John McCain led US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. Arab American Senator James Abourezk was the prime mover in the establishment of the new Indian affairs committee in 1977.

Ron Allen considers formal equality of the US and tribal governments to be extremely important. By this token all Americans should be offended at the willingness of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates to grovel before Judonia. Sphere: Related Content

Yekl and the Hijab

Abraham Cahan Remains Relevant

Below is an excerpt from The Spirit of the Ghetto by Hutchins Hapgood. This book was originally published in 1902.

While the ethnic Ashkenazi experience was quite different from other immigrant groups in the USA

• because ethnic Ashkenazim generally brought capital to the USA,
• because embedded within the Ashkenazi immigration was a full-fledged intelligentsia, and
• because ethnic Ashkenazim were generally assisted by earlier German and Spanish Jewish communities, which were already established in the American upper middle and upper classes,

the adaptation of immigrant Ashkenazim to American modernity may provide a point of comparison for today's immigrant communities, which often face the same contradictions between their traditional cultures and American society.

Please note that like many other immigrant groups ethnic Ashkenazim have made many positive contributions to American culture as well as some negative ones like practically creating the slip-and-fall fraud industry. Unfortunately, just as the Zionist intelligentsia cannibalized Yiddish ethnic politics to create support for Zionism, Israel advocates have worked hard to transform any lingering attachment to Yiddish culture into a sort of reflexive Pavlovian connection to Israel in an effort to discourage Jewish Americans from criticizing either the American Jewish Zionist intelligentsia (e.g. Neocons) or the Zionist political economic oligarchy for pursuing a racist plutocratic hegemonic imperial program that harms the vast majority of Jews, the USA, and the whole world.

The Spirit of the Ghetto
(pp. 244-25)
by Hutchins Hapgood

The book [by Yiddish Daily Forward Editor Abraham Cahan], however, in which there is a perfect adaptation of "atmosphere" and information to the dramatic story is Yekl [originally published in 1896]. In this strong, fresh work, full of buoyant life, the Ghetto characters and environment form an integral part.

Yekl indeed ought to be well known to the English reading public. It is a book written and conceived in the English language, is essen­tially idiomatic and consequently presents no linguistic difficulties. It gives a great deal of information about what seems to me by far the most interesting section of foreign New York. But what ought to count more than anything else is that it is a genuine piece of literature; picturing characters that live in art, in an environment that is made real, and by means of a story that is vital and significant and that never flags in interest. In its quality of freshness and buoyancy it recalls the work of Turgenieff. None of Cahan's later work, tho most of it has vital elements, stands in the same class with this fundamentally sweet piece of literature. It takes a worthy place with the best Russian fiction, with that school of writers who make life actual by the sincere handling of detail in which the simple everyday emotions of unspoiled hu­man nature are portrayed. The English classic novel, greatly superior in the rounded and con­templative view of life, has yet nothing since Fielding comparable to Russian fiction in vivid presentation of the details of life. This whole school of literature can, I believe, be compared in quality more fittingly with Elizabethan drama than anything which has intervened in English literature; not of course with those maturer dramas in which there is a great philosophical treatment of human life, but in the lyric fresh­ness and imaginative vitality which were com­mon to the whole lot of Elizabeth an writers.

Yekl is alive from beginning to end. The virtuosity in description which in Cahan's work sometimes takes the place of literature, is here quite subordinate. Yekl is a sweat-shop Jew in New York who has left a wife and child in Russia in order to make a little home for them and himself in the new world. In the early part of the book he is becoming an "American" Jew, making a little money and taking a great fancy to the smart Jewish girl who wears a "rakish" hat, no wig, talks "United States," and has a profound contempt for the benighted pious "greenhorns" who have just arrived. A sweat­shop girl named Mamie moves his fancy deeply, so that when the faithful wife Gitl and the little boy Yossele arrive at the Barge Office there is evidently trouble at hand. At that place Yekl meets them in a vividly told scene-ill-concealed disquiet on his part and naive alarm at the situ­ation on hers. Gitl's wig and her subdued, old­fashioned demeanor tell terribly on Yekl's nerves, and she is shocked by everything that happens to her in America. Their domestic unhappiness develops through a number of char­acteristic and simple incidents until it results in a divorce. But by that time Gitl is becoming "American" and it is obvious that she is to be taken care of by a young man in the quarter more appreciative than Yekl. The latter finds himself bound to Mamie, the pert "American" girl, and as the book closes is in a fair way to regret the necessity of giving up his newly ac­quired freedom. This simple, strong theme is treated consistently in a vital presentative way. The idea is developed by natural and constant incident, psychological or physical, rather than by talk. Every detail of the book grows nat­urallylout of the situation.

A Sweatshop Girl Moves His Fancy Deeply

"Unpleasant" is a word which many an American would give to Yekl on account of its subject. Strong compensating qualities are nec­essary to induce a publisher or editor to print anything which they think is in subject disagree­able to the big body of American readers, most of whom are women. Without attempting to criticise the "voice of the people," it may be pointed out that there are at least two ways in which a book may be "unpleasant." It may be so in the formal theme, the characters, the re­sult -- things may corne out unhappily, vice tri­umphant, and the section of life portrayed may be a sordid one. This is the kind of unpleasant­ness which publishers particularly object to; and in this sense Yek1 may fairly be called "unpleas­ant." Turgenieff's Torrents of Spring is also in this sense" unpleasant," for it tells how a young man's sincere and poetic first love is turned to failure and misery by the illegitimate temporary attraction of a fascinating woman of the world. But Turgenieff's novel is nevertheless full of buoyant vitality, full of freshness and charm, of youth and grace, full of life-giving qualities; be­cause of it we all may live more abundantly. The same may be said of many another book. When there is sweetness, strength and early vigor in a book the reader is refreshed notwith­standing the theme. And it is noticeable that youth is not afraid of "subjects."

Gitl

Another way in which a book may be "un­pleasant" is in the quality of deadness. Many books with pleasant and moral themes and endings are unpoetic and unpleasantly mature. Even a book great in subject, with much philos­ophy in it, may show a lack of sensitiveness to the vital qualities, to the effects of spring, to the joy in mere physical life, which are so marked and so genuinely invigorating in the best Russian fiction. The extreme of this kind of unpleasantness is shown in the case of some modern Frenchmen and Italians; not primarily in the theme, but in the lack of poetry and vigor, of hope; in a sodden maturity, often indeed combined with great qualities of intellect and workmanship, but dead to the little things of life, dead to the feeling of spring in the blood, to naive readiness for experience. An American who is the antithesis of this kind of thing is Walt Whitman. His quality put into prose is what we have in the best Russian novels. In the latter acceptation of the word unpleasant, too, it cannot be applied to Yekl; for Yekl is youthful and vital. There is buoyant spring in the lines and robust joy in truth whatever it may be.

Apropos of Cahan's love of truth, and that word "unpleasant," a discussion which took place a few years ago on the appearance of Zangwill's play, The Children of the Ghetto, is illuminative. That poetic drama represented the life of the poor Ghetto Jew with sympathy and truth; but for that very reason it was severely criticised by some uptown Israelites. Many of these, no doubt, had religious objections to a display on the stage of those customs and observances of their race which touched upon the "holy law." But some of the rich German Jews, practically identified with American life, and desiring for practical and social purposes to make little of their racial distinction, deprecated literature which portrayed the life of those Jews who still have distinctively national traits and customs. Then, too, there is a tendency among the well­-to-do American Jews to look down upon their Ghetto brethen, to regard the old customs as benighted and to treat them with a certain con­tempt; altho they spend a great deal of chari­table money in the quarter. Feeling a little ashamed of the poor Russian east side Jew, they object to a serious literary portrayal of him. They want no attention called to what they deem the less attractive aspects of their race. An uptown Jewish lady, on the appearance in a newspaper of a story about east side Jewish life, wrote a protesting letter to the editor. She told the writer of the sketch, when he was sent to see her, that she could not see why he didn't write about uptown Jews instead of sordid east side Jews. The scribe replied that he wrote of the Ghetto Jew because he found him interest­ing, while he couldn't see anything attractive or picturesque about the comfortable Israelite up­town.

Abraham Cahan's stories have been subjected to criticism inspired by the same spirit. Feeling the charm of his people he has attempted to picture them as they are, in shadow and light; and has consequently been accused of betraying his race to the Gentiles.

The attitude of the east side Jews towards writers like Zangwill and Cahan is in refreshing contrast. The Yiddish newspapers were enthu­siastic about Children of the Ghetto, in which they felt the Jews were truthfully and therefore sym­pathetically portrayed. In the literary sketches and plays now produced in considerable numbers in the "jargon," a great pride of race is mani­fest. The writers have not lost their self-re­spect, still abound in their own sense and are consequently vitally interesting. They are full of ideals and enthusiasm and do not object to what is "unpleasant" so strenuously as do their uptown brethren.

USA: Rechstaat oder Judenstaat?

Here Are My Questions

Americans need to start asking whether the USA is a Rechtstaat, where laws are enforced according to a regular, predictable and non-descriminatory system, or a Judenstaat, where Jews are privileged over non-Jews.

I believe I am using Herzl's sense of Judenstaat. Jewish state would be Juedischer Staat.

The Questions

(1) Does the OSI (Office of Special Investigations) only prosecute non-Jews? Can non-Jewish Eastern Europeans or Palestinians receive any justice from the US DOJ?

(2) Why has not FIDF :: Friends of the Israel Defense Forces been shut down, why have not its assets been seized, and why have not its senior officials been arrested for providing material support for Israeli state terrorism? In fact are not practically the entire organized institutional Jewish community and all Israel advocacy organizations providing material aid to terrorism? Should not they all be shut down, why have not their assets been seized, and why have not their senior officials been arrested?

(3) Is the FBI going to start enforcing 18 USC 241 on behalf of Arab and Muslim Americans as it did for African Americans in the past?

(4) Should not the General Accounting Office be investigating the USCCR (United States Commission on Civil Rights) for possible gross misuse of government funds? Should not Attorney General Mukasey, who is himself a racist Zionist extremist, be investigating Abigail Thernstrom, Kenneth Marcus and the other Jewish members and staff of the USCCR for criminal violation of Conspiracy Against Rights (18 USC 241.) At a time of war, might not Thernstrom and Marcus' actions constitute Seditious Conspiracy (US CODE: Title 18,2384. Seditious Conspiracy)?

Why is the government engaging in malicious prosecution of loyal Muslim American citizens for their efforts to aid poor and oppressed Palestinians under brutal genocidal Zionist siege when racist extremist Zionists are subverting the US government in order support Zionism to the detriment of US interests? Should not Zionist sedition be the target of US investigation?

(5) Why do organizations like the AJCommittee, AJCongress, the ADL, etc. still have 501(c)(3) status? Is it not reasonable to consider the possibility of conspiracy and racketeering that reaches into the federal government including federal law enforcement?

(6) Is the SEC and the FBI investigating for possible civil and criminal SEC violations related to Zionist Jewish covert networks on Wall Street?

(7) Why are the FBI and the IRS not investigating Wexner and Harvard University for Zionism-related civil and criminal violations related to the tax code, racism and conspiracy to commit crimes?

The Discussion

I am irritated by OSI because nowadays it seems to prosecute people that were basically teen-agers working as janitors or equivalent to feed their families during WWII.

Zajanckauskas, Henss, Selective Prosecution and Equal Protection

Another element of the Israel Lobby?

by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

The Functions Manual: Criminal Division of the DOJ (http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/mps/manual/crm.htm) says the following on the Office of Special Investigations.

Special investigations - since its creation in 1979, the Office of Special Investigations has been responsible for detecting, investigating, and taking legal action to denaturalize and/or deport persons who took part in Nazi-sponsored acts of persecution committed abroad during the period 1933-45 and, since December 2004, also for detecting, investigating, and taking legal action to denaturalize persons who participated abroad in acts of genocide or in acts of torture or extrajudicial killings committed under color of foreign law.

As far as I know the OSI has investigated neither for Jews involved in Soviet torture, extrajudicial killings, mass murder, ethnic cleansing, or genocide nor for Jews involved in revenge killings or torture after the defeat of Nazi Germany nor for Jews involved in pre-state Zionist or Israeli torture, mass murder, ethnic cleansing, genocide, or extrajudicial killings. Yet both Polish and also Lithuanian prosecutors have indicted or investigated Israeli Jews for such crimes. (See http://tinyurl.com/25zwfp for discussion of a Lithuanian case.)

Is there some sort of equal protection violation in the possibly selective prosecution of someone like Zajanckauskas

To US, Vladas Zajanckauskases of Sutton is a war criminal; to his family, he is a good man

...would make him the oldest person ever deported as a result of an investigation by the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations. To OSI officials, this is a story of justice served, a textbook case of a Nazi collaborator who managed...

or Henss?

Federal officials say 85-year-old Lawrenceville man was WWII Nazi concentration camp guard According Justice Department and Homeland Security officials, Paul Henss, an 85-year-old German citizen living in Gwinnett County, guarded prisoners "at the notorious Dachau and Buchenwald Concentration Camps in Nazi Germany."

According to Wikipedia, Congressman Rahm Emanuel's father, the Jerusalem-born pediatrician Benjamin M. Emanuel, was a member of the Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary terrorist organization that committed mass murder, ethnic cleansing, genocide, terrorism, and extrajudicial killings. So far OSI has undertaken neither investigation nor legal action against either Benjamin Emanuel or the multitudes of similar Zionist or Soviet Ashkenazi immigrants with similar criminal backgrounds.

(1) Does the OSI only prosecute non-Jews? Can non-Jewish Eastern Europeans or Palestinians receive any justice from the US DOJ?

In Shock Therapy Comes to America I wrote the following:

I point out the following in Holy Land Foundation (Re)trial: A Decent Respect, Part III.

There used to be an argument that anti-terrorism laws applied only in the case of non-state terrorist groups, but Congress is in the process of recommending in Sec. 2 Findings of S.970 Iran Counter-Proliferation Act of 2007 (Introduced in Senate):

(8) The Secretary of State should designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189) and the Secretary of the Treasury should place the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists under Executive Order 13224 (66 Fed. Reg. 186; relating to blocking property and prohibiting transactions with persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism).

By any objective standard the IDF is much more a terrorist organization than the IRG. If Iran is a terrorist state, Israel is much more so, and anti-terrorism laws are being enforced unequally between Jews and non-Jews.

The [Holy Land Foundation] defendants' attorneys should be able to make a case either for striking down the anti-terrorism laws entirely or for forcing the US government to prosecute Israel-supporters, Israel advocacy organizations, and pro-Israel groups within the organized Jewish community for giving material aid to terrorism.

If a prosecutor refrains from prosecuting Jewish terrorism supporters because of his own support for Zionism or for Jewish tribalism, he may himself be guilty of a prosecutable infraction like obstruction of justice. Such a government prosecutor should at the very least be dismissed from government service.

Under the laws that the Bush administration has carefully crafted, the 500 wealthiest Jewish Zionist political economic oligarchs are certainly guilty of providing material aid to Zionist terrorism. Of course, it would be much more satisfying to do the forensic accounting to find the actual criminal financial acts of the Zionist oligarchs, but not only are such prosecutions difficult and lengthy, but so many of the computers containing critical data are about to go to seed in bankruptcies like that of Lehman Brothers that piecing together the economic crimes will be difficult.

(2) Why has not FIDF :: Friends of the Israel Defense Forces been shut down, why have not its assets been seized, and why have not its senior officials been arrested?

In fact practically the entire organized institutional Jewish community and all Israel advocacy organizations are providing material aid to terrorism. Should not they all be shut down, why have not their assets been seized, and why have not their senior officials been arrested?

I wrote in Conspiracy Against Rights in NYC:

... national media coverage and discussion has been meager from the start when an organization of Jewish anti-Arab anti-Muslim racists in New York City created a well-funded organization called "Stop-the-Madrassa" to undertake systematic defamation both of the Khalil Gibran International Academy, which is a charter school focused on Arabic language and culture, and also of the observant Muslim American principal Debbie Almontaser, who has regularly taken part in NYC interfaith outreach activities.

When asked about the term intifada, Almontaser explained the meaning of the Arabic word but failed to swear loyalty to the State of Israel and to condemn Palestinians for struggling against Zionist oppression, which is often worse than anything that took place in Apartheid South Africa or in the Jim Crow South according to both South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and also former US President Jimmy Carter.

(Supporting Zionism and the State of Israel is not a requirement for US citizens no matter how much Israel-firsters attempt to operate as if it is.)

Jewish-dominated media companies like the NY Sun, Post, and Daily News then colluded with the "Stop-the-Madrassa" campaign to incite hysteria. Eventually, Jewish NYC mayor Bloomberg and Jewish Chancellor of NYC Schools Klein gave the principal the option of resigning for the sake of her school. In response to the intense pressure, to which she have been subjected, she complied.

When supporters, including many Jews, who took part in Interfaith activities, encouraged her to press a lawsuit to reclaim her job, the Jewish judge Sidney Stein "ruled that Almontaser's free-speech rights could not have been violated since she was speaking as a school employee - not a private citizen - when she gave the interview."

Let's ignore the judge's decision that Almontaser could be fired simply for defining or translating a word. Isn't there something just a wee bit wrong with this picture?

Isn't the Almontaser case just another case of a conspiracy by Jewish racists to deny Muslim and Arab Americans their rights as Americans to free expression, to work and to take part fully in American society and politics?

A network of Jewish groups and individuals are working throughout the country to disenfranchise Arab and Muslim Americans from Boston (the Roxbury Mosque Conflict) to LA (the LA Eight), in Texas (the HLF shutdown and trial), and in Florida (the persecution of Sami el-Arian) as well as to drive them both from politics (attacks on Ken Ellison for his practice of Islam) and also from academia (efforts to prevent Arab and Muslim American scholars like Rashid Khalidi, Hamid Dabashi, Joseph Massad, Nadia Abu el Haj, and Wadie Said from having a voice at US universities).

The treatment of Almontaser is a violation of US federal criminal code Title 18 Section 241 "Conspiracy against rights (18 USC 241). Patriotic Jewish and non-Jewish Americans, who support the Constitution and whose primary national and political loyalties lie with the USA and not with some foreign country, must take a stand against Jewish and Zionist extremists that for the sake of the State of Israel or Jewish tribalism are trying to steal the country from us. Otherwise, we will wake up to find that we are no longer living in a democratic America based on US Constitutional principles.

(3) Is the FBI going to start enforcing 18 USC 241 on behalf of Arab and Muslim Americans as it did for African Americans in the past?

Obsession, Thernstrom, Stern, EMET, USCCR discusses probably criminal violations and criminal conspiracy at the USCCR:

In Civil Rights for Some Americans, I pointed out that the United States Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) has been perverted by Jewish members and staff like Abigail Thernstrom and Kenneth Marcus to serve Jewish privilege instead of carrying out its civil rights mission.

In 2005 the Commission was investigating anti-Semitism on campus, watching the defamatory movie Columbia Unbecoming produced and distributed by The David Project, and taking testimony from Sarah Stern all for the purpose of substantiating a non-existent problem of anti-Semitism on college campuses.

Who is Sarah Stern?

The document USCCR document Campus Anti-Semitism gives her biography. On p. 74, it identifies her as the Director, Office of Governmental and Public Affairs, American Jewish Congress, and points out on p. 75 that she has left the AJCongress to establish the think tank and policy center named the Endowment for Middle East [Truth] (EMET). This latter organization has worked with Aish haTorah and probably funded the effort to disseminate tens of millions of copies of the propaganda DVD Obsession, Radical Islam's War against the West, in order

• to influence the presidential election,
• to incite racism and Islamophobia against Muslim Americans and Muslims in general for the purpose of marginalizing American Muslims in the US political system, and
• (quite probably) to distract from the role that Aish haTorah and other Jewish social networking has played in the Wall Street meltdown.

It looks like a prima facie case of conspiracy on the part of right-wing Jewish Zionist extremist members of the USCCR to engage in a conspiracy with right-wing Jewish Zionist Islamophobes against the rights of Muslim and Arab Americans.

(4) Should not the General Account Office be investigating the USCCR for possible gross misuse of government funds? Should not Attorney General Mukasey, who is himself a racist Zionist extremist, be investigating Thernstrom, Marcus and the Jewish members and staff of the USCCR for criminal violation of Conspiracy Against Rights (18 USC 241) At a time of war, might not Thernstrom and Marcus' actions constitute Seditious Conspiracy (US CODE: Title 18,2384. Seditious Conspiracy)?

Why is the government engaging in malicious prosecution of loyal Muslim American citizens for their efforts to aid poor and oppressed Palestinians under brutal genocidal Zionist siege when racist extremist Zionists are subverting the US government to the detriment of US interests? Should not Zionist sedition be the target of US investigation? (See Holy Land Foundation (Re)trial: THE ILLOGIC OF THE HLF PROSECUTION SUMMED UP IN ONE QUESTION..)

The pattern of Zionism and Israel advocacy related FEC rule violations hardly ends with Aish haTorah. Practically all institutional Jewish organizations routinely violate FEC and IRS rules. (See Internal Memo Takes on Obama's Approach to Middle East - Forward.com".) (5) Why do organizations like the AJCommittee, AJCongress, the ADL, etc. still have 501(c)(3) status? Is it not reasonable to consider the possibility of conspiracy and racketeering that reaches into the federal government including federal law enforcement?

Careful analysis of the information that has appeared in the media about Aish haTorah and its wealthy donors suggests that the organization may have been involved in passing insider information. I have spoken with finance industry professionals that have described vast Zionist Jewish networks whose members protect each other and engage in legally questionable collusive behavior. (6) Is the SEC and the FBI investigating for possible civil and criminal SEC violations related to Zionist Jewish covert networks on Wall Street?

By means of the the Harvard Wexner Israel Fellowship, which violates the anti-racist principles of Bob Jones Univ. v. United States, 461 U. S. 574 (1983), Leslie Wexner has enmeshed Harvard University and Harvard donors in an immense conspiracy to commit tax fraud in the service of Zionism. The violation is not complex. (7) Why are the FBI and the IRS not investigating Wexner and Harvard University for Zionism-related civil and criminal violations related to the tax code, racism and conspiracy to commit crimes? These types of infractions of civil code and criminal law may be endemic throughout the US university system.

cnn illuminating the zionist attempt to dupe americans

Marcy Newman collects together a great set of video clips that show the infantile nature of US discourse over anti-Semitism and the State of Israel.

The first two segments (Michael Goldfarb, Ben Ferguson) shows that a segment of the US political class will throw all sorts of unsubstantiated slurs at Palestinian, Arabs and Muslims of the sort which used to be common about African Americans, and yet Michael Goldfarb could not even bring himself to name Reverend Wright during the first segment.

The Boston African American leader Mel King told me at a Sunday brunch during the Roxbury Mosque controversy that on the world scale Arabs and Muslims are the new niggers in the way that African Americans used to be.

Obviously, he was not saying there is no longer bigotry against American blacks. He was simply pointing out that it is no longer as socially acceptable it used to be. Yet, the Republican party has shown graphically during the Obama-McCain campaign how much its members relish publicly tossing rocks at Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians. Sphere: Related Content

Robert Lindsay: The Record of Communist Language Policy

In this article Robert Lindsay compares communist linguistic policy with the hostility to minority languages that is often found outside of communist states especially as more nationalist regimes have taken power.

The situation is rather more complex that he suggests. The pre-WWI German Empire supported non-German language school systems although Germanization was generally the goal especially in Polish regions, but Germany had only been unified in 1870, and creating a German national identity among speakers of German dialects was a work in progress.

The pre-WWI Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires were if anything more supportive of multilingualism. The bulk of the Austro-Hungarian population did not speak any German dialects while the leaders of the Russian Empire were highly ambivalent about non-Russians that became Russianized.

Soviet policy may have in part been a continuation of Czarist policy, but in some ways the Soviets may have been more intolerant than the Czarists.

During the early Soviet communist period, Turkic speakers often switched from writing their languages with Arabic-derivative scripts to using variants of Roman scripts. Later the Soviet authorities forced the use of Cyrillic-derived scripts on these languages.

As a matter of state policy, the Soviet government distrusted nationalities that had a considerable population outside Soviet territory. It put the Soviet leadership, both Jewish and non-Jewish, into a tricky position vis-a-vis ethnic Ashkenazim, who were critical to the consolidation of the Soviet state. As a consequence the Soviet Union and especially the Jewish section of the Soviet communist party tended to reject granting Jews or more specifically ethnic Ashkenazim full national status, and the Soviet Ashkenazi leadership chose to suppress Yiddish in order to act as the quintessential Soviet class or stratum.

When Yiddish cultural activity was permitted, the Jewish section invariably pushed for differentiation between Soviet and non-Soviet Yiddish in terms of vocabulary and orthography.

A similar sort of linguistic intolerance has characterized Zionist Jews, and it seems to be increasing. (See Knesset Hawks Move To Strip Arabic of Official Status in Israel ...)

Language is probably another area where the mentality of Zionist and Soviet Ashkenazim overlaps. (See The Pattern of Ethnic Ashkenazi Genocidalism: The Jewish Century by Yuri Slezkine.) Sphere: Related Content

Politically Relevant Chiasmus

My son likes various types of word play -- especially inverted parallelism.

I bought him Never Let a Fool Kiss You or a Kiss Fool You, Chiasmus and a World of Quotations That Say What They Mean and Mean What They Say, by Dr Mardy Grothe.

Here are some of the more timely chiasmatic epigrams.

About the Financial Crisis

"It is not my interest to pay the principal; nor is it my principle to pay the interest." -- Richard Brinsley Sheridan

English writer Sheridan was forever in debt. His tailor, tired of asking Sheridan to pay his bill, pleaded, "At least you could pay me the interest on the principal." The above was Sheridan's reply.

"A broker is a man who takes your fortune and runs it into a shoestring." -- Alexander Woollcot (an example of implicit chiasmus)

About Zionists and Zionism

"Some things have to be believed to be seen." -- Ralph Hodgson (an example of implicit chiasmus)

It describes the reaction of Zionists to substantiated reports of atrocities against Zionists -- even or especially those that have served in the Occupied Territories and that have taken part in the outrages.

"A friend is one who loves you; but one who loves you isn't necessarily your friend." -- Seneca the Younger [Qui amicus est amat; qui amat non utique amicus es]

The above is a pithy description of the nature of Israel's love for the USA.

About the Presidential Election

"Treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy, and your enemy as if he will one day be your friend." -- Laberius [Ita amicum habeas, posse ut facile fieri hunc inimicum putes et inimicum posse ut facile fieri hunc amicum putes.]

Is the above Obama's modus operandi or the Zionist fear of Obama's modus operandi? He seems to have some knowledge of Latin.

Some Things Never Change

"I flee who chases me and chase who flees me." -- Ovid [Quod sequitur, fugio; quod fugit, usque sequor]

The above is the counterpart to Groucho Marx's quip: "I won't belong to any organization that would have me as a member."
