Robert Lindsay: Daniel Pearl’s Dad Takes On Anti-Zionism

Robert Lindsay argues in Daniel Pearl’s Dad Takes On Anti-Zionism that Daniel Pearl was a spy:

Judea Pearl is the father of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter murdered by Al Qaeda and probably by the Pakistani government too (Where does one end and the other begin?) for investigating the connection between the Pakistani government and Al Qaeda. An open Jewish journalist, running around openly in Pakistan and publishing these stories, and then continuing to blissfully run around in Pakistan publishing his articles about Al Qaeda…well.

Al Qaeda said he was a spy. Indeed, Mr.Pearl was effectively an agent of the US state in seeking out secrets about Al Qaeda and its connections in the Pakistani state and publishing them in a worldwide newspaper. So, to Al Qaeda and its elements in the Pakistani state, Pearl was a spy. In war, spies get killed. Solution? In wartime, don’t be a spy. I have no love for AQ, but Mr. Pearl definitely wins a Darwin Award. What was he thinking?

While I would agree that it is truly offensive to market Daniel Pearl as the Anne Frank of the War on Terror so that Judea Pearl can have a soapbox to spout an exceptionally psychotic form of Zionism, the Daniel Pearl story is not quite as cut and dry as Robert Lindsay suggests.

Reporting is a dangerous profession, and war reporting is often fatal. Daniel seems to have known that he was getting in over his head and complained to his management about potential danger

Daniel was operating in a particularly treacherous shadow war zone, but he was not the first Jewish reporter to investigate Pakistan. (See Thinking About Danny Pearl.) In different circumstances his captors might have viewed him as a conduit to send a message to the West and not as a spy to be executed.

I am not as interested in Daniel's status in the world of espionage as I am curious why Muslims and Muslim organization are lending their names and perhaps funding organizations like the Daniel Pearl Foundation, whose major purpose lies in legitimizing Zionist extremism and throwing rocks at Muslims. (See http://www.danielpearl.org/news_and_press/articles/Op-Eds.pdf.) Here is the list of Honorary Board Members:

HONORARY BOARD
Christiane Amanpour
President William J. Clinton
Abdul Sattar Edhi
Danny Gill
John Hennessy
Ted Koppel
Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan
Sari Nusseibeh
Mariane Pearl
Itzhak Perlman
Rabbi Harold Schulweiss
Craig Sherman
Paul Steiger
Elie Wiesel
I understand that the Hashemites feel a need to prove their moderation (as probably does Abdel Sattar Edhi) while Sari Nusseibeh is looking for ways to maintain al-Quds University, but I remember Judea Pearl from local conferences in inference and computability. He is at the fringe of the most extreme Zionism, and as far as I can tell from talking with Daniel Pearl's co-workers, Daniel really did not agree with his father about Zionism.
There should be some way to persuade important Muslim leaders not to legitimize Judea Pearl's rantings. (It would be truly offensive if Queen Noor or Abdel Sattar Edhi have donated any real money to Judea Pearl's efforts.)

INEAS: Update -- Endorse April 26 as Seeds Day

Greetings:

We are writing to invite you to endorse April 26 as International Seeds Day (ISD) to educate the public at your city about patent seeds, genetically modified food, agribusiness under globalization and Order 81. Please find the incomplete list of endorsers below.

People worldwide acknowledge the sixth anniversary of the Iraq War on March 19/20. But many don't know of another war taken place in Iraq. It is the war against Iraqi farmers and the future of agriculture. April 26 (2004) marks the fifth anniversary of the issuing and signing
of Order 81 (see full text below) by Paul Bremer, the administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) who was appointed in 2003.

Order 81 gives full rights to American agribusiness corporations such as Monsanto to control the future of Iraqi seeds and agriculture, prohibits Iraqi farmers from using their traditional seeds and forces them to buy seeds and Agricultural material from USA companies.

Endorsers will participate in some or all of the following:

  • publicize April 26 as an International Seeds Day (beginning on March 23) on the Internet, via email, postage mail and/or in their events.
  • organize teach-ins or any other event they see fit on April 26 to educate about patent seeds, the future of agriculture, terminator seeds technology and Order 81.
  • help publicize the International Seeds Day (ISD) through alternative and mainstream media as well as post the list of events taken place on April 26 worldwide beginning on March 31 through alternative and mainstream media on Internet, distribute via emails and announce in public events.

We greatly appreciate your help in making ISD a worldwide success.

David Shasha:Holocaust, Mean-Spirit, Fraudsters

Because the events surrounding the appearance of Nadia Matar at an Upper E. Side Sephardic synagogue may say something about Ashkenazi-non-Ashkenazi Jewish dynamic in the US (see A taperecording of Nadia Matar's call for the assassination of Mahmoud Abbas), I am going to try to devote more space to non-Ashkenazi Jewish issues in this blog. The following are three comments by David Shasha on recent newspaper articles. Shasha Director of the Center for Sephardic Heritage in Brooklyn, NY

1. On Using the Holocaust to Attack Jews By: Walter Reich

This is a very disturbing article.

First, let it be said that Anti-Semites do not "need" the Holocaust to attack Jews. They do it very well with or without it.

Next, what exactly does Reich mean when he uses the word "Jews" in his title?

On the one hand, we have been counseled to separate Israel from Jews - any attack on Israel must not extend to the Jews in general. We are told this by Zionist apologist and polemicists all the time.

The Arabs are disparaged for making the definitive link between Jews and Israel. We are told that there is legitimate criticism of Israel - but here Reich, not putatively an Israeli spokesman, but whose former perch at the Holocaust Museum seemingly gives him the right - and obligation - to decide who can say what about the Holocaust.

In this sense, what would Reich say to Avraham Burg, whose new book does just what he seems to be excoriating? Is Burg from this standpoint a "Jew" or an "Anti-Semite"? What are we allowed to say about a culture - that of contemporary Israel - which has made the Holocaust a central part of its identity and its campaign for world legitimacy and recognition? If Israel has decided to play the Holocaust "card," what is left for its critics but to address that issue, as Burg skillfully does?

For Reich this is a world that hates Jews. It is not a world, in spite of his double-talk about "legitimate" criticism of Israel, that can legitimately criticize any Israeli actions and assess those actions in light of Israel's own stated rational for its status as a nation.

The paradox here is that it has been people like Reich who have shamelessly promoted the idea that Israel has been sanctified by the Holocaust, as if that horrible tragedy was in some way recompensed by the founding of a nation-state. Aside from its horrifying theological implications, this idea leads the a discursive hegemony where only "Jews" - and here we are forced to accept Reich's definition of what a "Jew" is - can discuss the matter. All those who seek to talk about it are "Anti-Semites."

But, as Avraham Burg has masterfully argued, the world has indeed learned the lessons of the Holocaust - learned them, in fact, too well. Israel is judged against the standard that it has itself created: Never again! So when Israel skirts that line of "Never Again!" when it comes to its persecution of non-Jews, the world takes notice. All silence in the face of evil and injustice must be condemned - period! Israel does not get a free pass, as Reich would wish.

Again, we are within the realm of PILPUL as Reich sets up a false linkage between Anti-Semites and critics of Israeli military actions. Just like the recent PILPUL over HAMAS - where Israeli HASBARAH forced critics of its Gaza operation to acquiesce to being HAMAS supporters - this Holocaust PILPUL makes all critics of Israel into Holocaust deniers and Anti-Semites.

PILPUL is a wondrous thing.

DS

[Joachim’s comment: I have discussed some issues addressed by David in Conflating Jews and Zionists. I discuss pilpul in David Shasha Calls Obsession Propaganda.]



2. On Ward Three Morality By: David Brooks

I must say that I was completely astounded by the audacity and mean-spiritedness of this piece.

America has always had income disparities, but has never had such vulgar cheerleading for class inequalities.

While the 1930s and 40s led many Ashkenazim to become Communists and radicals, since the time of the execrable reactionary Ronald Reagan - the architect of our current economic misery - many Jews, freed of the taint of Anti-Semitism, have now become insufferably "White" and priggishly smug and elitist.

And while I do not contest the grain of truth in the description of Liberals presented here, the caricature has been deployed in the most obnoxious and cynical manner in order to applaud the truly toxic behaviors of the lazy rich in the post-Reagan and post-Bush world.

Giving the middle finger to the poor is something that was once not permissible in American society - the change from Hoover to FDR made that point quite well, but today we have a parasite-economy that has collapsed leaving those who have raped American coffers with plenty of dough, while they laugh - Brooks with them - at those who continue to suffer.

That Brooks is an Ashkenazi Jew makes a great deal of sense. That Anti-Semitism is on the rise also makes a great deal of sense, given the pathetic morality of Jews like Brooks and their vain apologia for the immoral behavior of the thieves and charlatans who have led us to where we are at the moment.

Ashkenazim never seem to learn from history.

3. On Iranian Jews Hurt by One of Their Own By: Rebecca Spence

It should be noted that the "old way" of doing business involved ethics and principled behavior rather than expediency and closed-door secrecy. And it accepted Jewish principles as the foundation of a life worth living. The "old ways" were not the problem.

What we have today is the adoption of all the illnesses of the West and of the larger non-Sephardic community where it is kill or be killed.

Assimilation is not always such a good thing and we must sometime look backwards in order to look forward.

DS

[Joachim’s note: I am not sure that I can do justice to the history in a short paragraph, for I consider the interactions of Iran with the USA far more complex than usually depicted, but the US overthrew Mossadegh (or assisted the British in overthrowing him or let the Iranian regime collapse in the face of British intransigence over nationalization of the Iranian petroleum industry) in part because he planned to apply developmentalist models to the Iranian economy and to use Iranian oil wealth to modernize. The Shah and the Shah’s associates cut a deal to partner with Western interests to loot Iranian wealth while relatively little was spent on improving the lot of Iranians -- something like the later scenario in Chile. Eventually the Shah invested a lot in strengthening Iran militarily sometimes at cross purposes with American or Zionist goals, but on the whole certain wealthy, politically powerful and non-Zionist Americans have been quite happy when Arabs, Iranians or Turks buy US weapons. In the process of the Shah’s military buildup many Iranian Jews became involved in profiteering associated with the looting of Iranian wealth especially when Western Jews were on the American or British side of the equation. The younger generation of Iranian Jews generally does not understand the ambivalent role that some of their parents and grandparents played in the Iranian economy and society under the Shah.]

Islam Comes to Bones

Like The Simpsons, the TV program Bones has made an attempt at non-hysterical depiction of Islam and Muslims.

In the context of a murder in a story loosely inspired by the Gloucester pregnancy pact, this past week's episode introduced a new graduate student named Arastoo Vaziri, who is Iranian, an observant Muslim and a former US army soldier.

It was not the worst depiction of Islam on TV, and Dr. Brennan (Bones) is for the most part an equal opportunity offender with regard to religion.

The repetitive use of Muslim prayer for cheap humor was slightly irritating.

In my experience observant Muslims typically pray once during the business day -- either the Dhuhr (Noon) service or Dhuhr combined with the Asar (Afternoon) service.

The ignorance and dismissive behavior of Bones and her fellow squints with regard to Islam was somewhat out of character because they tend to know the most obscure facts about all sorts of non-European cultures, which they generally discuss non-judgmentally.

Because one might have expected either Bones or Angela to have read Desiring Arabs by Joseph Massad or to have some acquaintance with The Perfumed Garden of Sheikh Nefzawi, the minor subplot involving Vaziri and Angela's lesbian breakup could perhaps have been slightly more nuanced.

The character Clinton, who impregnated 4 members of the girls' volleyball team as well as the victim, was somewhat jarring because the writers may have meant for him to copy sterotypical African American speech and behavior, but his imitation may not have been out of line for a white American high-schooler. I was surprised that there were no Muslim four wive jokes.

There might be some value in contrasting the episode's treatment of Islam with other Hollywood productions that have dealt with Jewish or Christian religion.

In comparison with the Sopranos, Ally McBeal, Sex and the City, Second Sight, and Fritz the Cat, the depiction of a committed Muslim minor or secondary character comes off as fairly reasonable.

Because the name Arastoo Vaziri loosely translates as Aristotle the Advisor, we can probably assume that some on the show actually did some research into Persian names. Aristotle is the archetypal experimental scientist of Greco-Roman classical period.

qunfuz: The Gulf Between Us

Robin Yassin-Kassab has provided an interesting anecdote about literary life in the Gulf in his review of Geraldine Bedell's book entitled The Gulf Between Us:
Given the new level of official Arab tolerance, it was surprising to hear that Geraldine Bedell’s “The Gulf Between Us”, a romantic comedy narrated by a middle-aged Englishwoman, had been banned from the International Festival of Literature in Dubai, and this because the novel contains a ‘gay shaikh’. Both author and publisher cried censorship, plunging the festival – Dubai’s first – into a swamp of bad publicity. Margaret Atwood cancelled her appearance.

A few days after the damage had been done, the truth came out: the book hadn’t been banned. Like many others, it was not selected in the first place. Maragaret Atwood regretted her cancellation.
Robin states, "[Bidell's] treatment of attitudes to gays is balanced and accurate."

In Participating in an Obsolete Discourse I wrote:
Sexual identities represent social constructs. Western "gay-ness" does not really exist in Middle Eastern cultures except within Israel, which is really a transplanted mixed Central and Eastern European Jewish society.

As a fundamentally alien entity in the ME, the Zionist state hosts sexual identities that were already well-developed among German Jews and Eastern European ethnic Ashkenazim by the early 20th century.

Both groups have been active proselytizers for regendering Western society according to Yiddish models for at least the last 90 years.

As Columbia Professor Joseph Massad points out in Desiring Arabs, non-Westernized (and many Westernized) Arabs that engage in homoeroticism have no interest in the Yiddish regenderization program and generally reject Western homosexual identity, which Massad calls the Gay International [and which I can the Regenderization Movement].
Does [Bidell's] book reflect Massad's dichotomy between Arab views of eroticism or sexuality and today's Western (but historically ostjüdische) erotic or sexual proclivities.

[Note that Massad's book does not address the historic political conflict between Eastern European Yiddish sexual norms and the Central European (especially German) non-Jewish sense of propriety or Christian morality.]

Modern Regenderization politics and its predecessor make me think of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte. Karl Marx wrote:
Hegel says somewhere that all great historical facts and personages recur twice. He forgot to add: "Once as tragedy and again as farce."
In the cases of ethnic Ashkenazi radicalism and ethnic Ashkenazi Zionism, it might have been better to add: "Once as sociopathy and once as psychopathy" with the qualification that in the case of Jewish politics the original story and its rerun seem to be overlapping.

When I look at today's events I always have the impression of a nastier and more insane version of violence, financial corruption or ideological development from the 1930s or the 1870s or sometime in-between:
  1. Zionism, Penisism, and Joseph Massad
  2. Jewish, Zionist War Against Salvation
  3. Nineteenth Century Madoff: Bethel Strousberg
  4. Islamobolshevism: Zionist Copies Nazi Propaganda
  5. The Pattern of Ethnic Ashkenazi Genocidalism: The Jewish Century by Yuri Slezkine
Even the Hollywood Crowd had its nineteenth century counterparts, and Wagner's criticism of Kunstjuden in Das Judenthum in der Musik sometimes seems very contemporary as long as one understands the 19th century German music scene.

Despite the early German Nazi affection for Wagner's music, Wagner's personal life makes it difficult to call him an anti-Semite. Even though Theodor Herzl loved Wagner's music and was inspired by the operas, the Zionist leader Max Nordau accused Wagner of degeneracy, and the German Nazis appear to have eventually come to agree with Nordau's assessment as Na`ama Sheffi discusses in The Ring of Myths, The Israelis, Wagner and the Nazis.

Just as the Germans did and we Americans do today, the Soviet Union also experienced a culture struggle over Jewish artistic influence even if the Soviets often framed the conflict as an opposition between bourgeois and revolutionary values.

If I return to the original observation of Hegel or Marx, the Red Jewish Century (das rote Judenjahrhundert) lasted from 1891 (the beginning of the collapse of Czarism) through 1991 (the collapse of the Soviet Union) while the Blue Stripe Jewish Century (das Blaustreifenjudenjahrhundert) will probably go from 1917 (Balfour Declaration) through approximately 2017 (when demography utterly overwhelms Zionism).

The Magnes Zionist: The Times on the Gaza War Crimes

Jeremy Haber has written an interesting blogentry on Israel's rampage in Gaza. His article is entitled The Times on the Gaza War Crimes. Haber includes a simple fable about Pete and Paul to explain the conflict over Palestine, but it is far too exculpatory of the Zionists.

In my version, Talat [Paul] is happily minding his own business on his own land in his own country.

Yosele is looking for work, Even [Pete] is poor (but a good deal richer than Talat), and Shmuel has more money than he can spend.

Yosele convinces Shmuel that Even's potential radicalism will endanger Shmuel's business ventures and ultimately Shmuel's life if Shmuel does not give Yosele a lot of money to send Even to Talat's country to steal Talat's land and even the shirt off Talat's back.

Panicked and seeing some new economic possibilities for investing in Talat's country (as long as Talat has been removed) Shmuel hands a pile of money over to Yosele.

Because Even has no desire whatsoever to relocate to Talat's country and would rather seek power at home by overthrowing the government, Yosele uses the money to build a movement among middle-class people in other countries to support Even in Talat's country even though Even never emigrated to Talat's country because Even was busy overthrowing his own local government and then committing mass murder, ethnic cleansing or genocide.

In reaction to Even's crimes, Even's neighbors become angry and scared not just of Even but also of Shmuel and all the supporters and potential supporters of Yosele's movement.

Even's neighbors decide to make themselves so strong that Even will not be able to threaten them.

In so doing, Even's neighbors frighten practically everyone else on the planet, but Yosele and his movement calculate that if Even, Even's neighbors and everyone else on the planet go to war, Shmuel, Yosele and Yosele's movement will profit immensely and still be able to send Even and Even's relatives to steal Talat's land and Talat's clothes.

The combination of Shmuel's wealth, Yosele's ideological justification, and the corrupt social networking of Yosele's movement pushes the world into a completely unnecessary war during which Even and practically his whole family are killed.

At the end of the war, Shmuel and Yosele are left with a wonderful organization for making money and for political manipulation, but Yosele's ideology makes even less sense than it did 40 years earlier.

Out of inertia and greed Shmuel, Yosele, and Yosele's movement, which altogether now constitute the Lobby, press on to send Even's distant cousin Piki to Talat's country to steal Talat's land and his clothes.

Ever since, Piki has been sitting on Talat in order to obliterate Talat's will to resist while the Lobby works hard to demonize Talat as well as Talat's family, friends and sympathizers in order to make sure that the countries manipulated by the Lobby to support Piki won't ever stop to debate the rationality of the policy of sending ever increasing amounts of money and weapons to Piki in the ongoing effort to crush Talat so that Piki can keep everything stolen from Talat.

Zionist Control: Spanish Language Media

Ernesto Cienfuegos writes in La Voz de Aztlan:

Los Angeles, Alta California - March 19, 2009 - (ACN) The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, an area publication on behalf of Zionist Israel, has again attacked another media voice for the Chicano, Mexican and Latino communities. Some time ago this same Zionist magazine published a hateful and extremely biased article against La Voz de Aztlan and yesterday they did the same against one of the few radio programs that speak on behalf of Chicanos in Southern California. The aim of these attacks is to silence any criticism of Israel and of the American Jewish Lobby which now dictates many of the US government's domestic and international policies.

The article is authored by the Sephardic Jew Roberto Loiederman and targets the hugely popular program La Causa on KPFK FM radio hosted by Augustin Cebada and Rafael Tlaloc. Loiederman objects and criticizes La Causa for covering the recent attacks by Israel on the Gaza Strip as if Chicanos are not supposed to speak on the issue. Loiederman writes, "Though it presents itself as a program by and for Latinos, La Causa spends a lot of time on the subject of the Middle East, all of it fiercely critical of Israel. Referring to the recent military actions in Gaza, the show’s hosts characterize Israelis as perpetrators of 'genocide', 'massacre', 'slaughter', 'war crimes', 'ethnic cleansing' and 'atrocities'.”

Roberto Loiederman especially objected, in his hateful diatribe, that Augustin Cebada recently gave too much time to a caller named Mohammed that expressed strong pro-Palestinian views. Mohammed is a well known frequent caller to La Causa and is of dual Mexican and Palestinian descent. Loiederman's objection gives the impression that Jews believe in "freedom of speech" only when it applies to them. The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles has given La Voz de Aztlan pretty much the same treatment.

[To read the entire story, click here.]

Loiederman is probably of Spanish-speaking ethnic Ashkenazi background and not of Sephardic (Ibero-Berber) ethnicity.

EdFromNH alludes to some very similar problems with Israel advocates in EdFromNH on "Fealty to Israel". Ed is somewhat circumspect in the details, but in short his family owned a moderately sized New England radio network that was threatened 40 years ago with a boycott by Jewish-owned (or simply influenced) advertisers if the network did not broadcast news from the ME exactly as Jewish Zionist groups wanted Americans to hear it. It was a Zionist campaign that took place entirely behind closed doors and never became public. The network caved in to Zionist pressure.

Jewish Bigotries at Interfaith Dialogue

The organized Jewish community and network of Israel advocacy organizations subject Americans to a web of control that Orwell could not have conceived.

On Sunday March 15th I attended an Interfaith Dialogue at the new Islamic Society of Boston Community Center in Roxbury, MA. If I get a chance I will blog about the day's activities, but one incident stuck out in particular. During the breakout sessions, Louise Cohen, MSW and member of the Board of Advisors of the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation (GOLBMF), passed around a document package explaining the need for a bone marrow registry.

While one would not know it from the organization name, the history section on the website fairly clearly indicates that GOLBMF is a Jewish philanthropic organization that is tightly embedded within the organized Jewish community and that is backed by the Bronfmans.

Since the Hep! Hep! riots that took place in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, many Jewish charities have tended to do genuine philanthropic work within the Jewish community while they propagandize, indoctrinate, or otherwise manipulate non-Jews with promises of benefits that rarely materialize. Sometimes Jewish groups are the designated beneficiaries of manipulative charitable efforts albeit with somewhat more genuine carrot.

In the historical Jewish American context, German American Jewish philanthropic organizations often had the explicit goal of rendering Eastern European Jewish behavior more acceptable to non-Jewish Americans while more recent Jewish philanthropic efforts have aimed at forestalling the development of sympathies for Palestinians among African Americans and at demonizing Arabs especially in the context of Darfur activism.

GOLBMF appears to be part of this Jewish tradition of opportunistic charity and philanthropy.Within the document package was a Bone Marrow Foundation Letter that contained the following dishonest anti-Muslim, anti-Christian paragraphs:
There have been questions raised about the willingness of Muslims and Jews to give of themselves (literally) to save another human life.

The words "and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind" appear in the Koran (5:32) and the Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a). Yet early Christians and today Muslim commentators have said that the Talmudic ruling applies to Jews only saving Jewish lives, indicating Jewish selfishness. The [Internet] is rife with accusations that Muslims will not donate blood to others and that they will not accept "filthy Jewish blood" transfusions even to save their own lives.
I am impressed at how many lies she managed to pack into such a short text.

I searched online for the accusation that Muslims are unwilling to give blood, organs, or charity to non-Muslims. Because the charge seems to come mostly from anti-Islamic and Jewish Zionist websites or organizations like Investors Business Daily or Frontpagemag.com and has not found much traction beyond the Islamophobes, I have to wonder why Cohen was trying to spread it at the interfaith meeting.

Because of its distortions, the second paragraph sheds more light on Cohen's intentions.

The Palestinian Talmud was not completed until the 5th century CE and the Babylonian Talmud not until the 8th century CE. Christians were not terribly interested in the Talmud until the 16th century CE. Cohen's accusation that early Christians were somehow misusing the Talmud to slander Jews is simply calumny.

I studied Talmud with Harvard Professor Isadore Twersky (the Talner Rebbe) and can explicate it as well as any Jewish scholar. In this case, the issue is simple translation of the following Mishna from the Talmud Sanhedrin. (Click on image to obtain readable text.)

Here is what the underlined text in Talmud Sanhedrin 37a really says:
"Whosoever preserves a single soul of Israel, Scripture ascribes to him as if he had preserved a complete world"
Yet if I try to be as fair as Louise Cohen is dishonest, I have to admit that the Talmud does not really provide authoritative rulings on such subjects. The main authoritative Jewish legal codes are found in the Mishneh Torah and the Shulhan Arukh or the Shulhan Arukh with Hamappah, and the modern authorities are effectively uniform in treating all life preserving efforts as equally important although the reasons differ for saving Jewish versus non-Jewish lives.

The last sentence of the paragraph is thanks to the phrase "filthy Jewish blood" a sort of a potshot to make sure that readers of her letter view Muslims as crude anti-Semites.

To be frank, the behavior of Cohen and other Jews raises real doubts about the value of interfaith activities with Jews, for Muslims probably need a new type of defense organization that is somewhat more savvy with regard to Jewish and Zionist issues, behavior, and tactics.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INTERRELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
An Opportunity for Dialogue and Networking

The greater Boston community can take pride in the work of numerous groups, both official and unofficial, that have been outspoken in their commitment to the furtherance of interreligious understanding between the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Whenever voices of bigotry have been raised or acts of violence and inflammatory characterizations directed at one faith or another, they have been met with determined responses.

Yet there have been few opportunities for the leadership of these groups, many unknown to one another, to come together to share ideas and hopes, as well as express fears and concerns and explore the potential for future networking and cooperation. To bridge that gap, the ICPL has arranged a gathering for an exchange of views on the perils and promises of interreligious dialogue and what participating groups should anticipate as they go forward. Invitations to participate have been extended to leaders of interreligious organizations throughout the Boston area. Those attending have been asked to bring with them examples of projects appropriate for inclusion in a program fair from which everyone can benefit.

In planning this event, it was felt that there would be no clearer illustration of the commitment to the ideal of interreligious understanding than to convene at the Islamic Society Cultural Center in Roxbury, which has graciously agreed to host the event.

Robert Lindsay: The Jews Under Stalin

Because the lachrymose pogrom and persecution version of Jewish history is usually extended to studies of Jews within the Soviet Union, I recommend The Jews Under Stalin by Robert Lindsay. While I do not agree with all his particulars, the subversion or intellectual domination of the Soviet Union by Jews was real and lasted in many ways until the collapse and persists in the economic sector in the Russian Federation to this very day.

Although Soviet Ashkenazi identity differed in many ways from contemporary Zionist Ashkenazi identify in the USA, the Soviet Jewish elite and the Zionist Jewish elite show many similarities, and there have been occasional (usually generational) crossovers. For example, Trotsky's grandchildren and great-grandchildren have become important in the occult mystical Zionist politics of the Occupied Territories while Alex Koifman and other former Russian Soviet Jews have taken leadership positions in the Boston-area organized Jewish community.

Lindsay should probably added some qualification and less support when he reported Yitzhak Shamir's opinion of Poles and the Soviet Union:
[Yitzhak] Shamir, former Prime Minister of Israel, was once asked whether the USSR was an anti-Semitic state. He replied that on the contrary, “The USSR was anti-anti-Semitic. It was the most anti-anti-Semitic state that has ever existed.” He also famously stated that the Poles, “Drank their anti-Semitism from the milk of their mother’s breasts,” in other words, it was an essential part of their culture. Both of Shamir’s statements are truer than either the anti-Semites or the SuperJews want to believe.
Ethnic Ashkenazim were native collaborators for the German Empire and Austria-Hungary and desperately wanted to be native collaborators for the Russians. Jewish attitudes in Occupied Poland simply did not endear Jews to ethnic Poles.

In addition, the collapse of Commonwealth Poland meant that ethnic Ashkenazi business practices had to become far more exploitive in order to maintain living standards.

Convincing themselves that ethnic Poles were rotten anti-Semitic people helped Ashkenazim justify negative Ashkenazi behavior toward ethnic Poles.

Freeman, American Naiveté, Israel Lobby

Failed Analysis, Looming Zionist Threat
by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

To be completely frank, I as an American care far less about the harm Palestinians have suffered from Zionism than I do

  • about the damage that the Zionist state and Zionist political economic oligarchs do to our economy and
  • about the ruination of our political system by Israel advocates.

I am particularly disturbed by the meager understanding of Zionism that even non- or anti-Zionist political scientists have managed to provide to the American public and political leadership. Not only are American scholars generally naïve about the role of conspiracy in E. European politics, but specialists in E. European history are usually unable to apply their knowledge because of their ignorance of Jewish studies.

The USA is the slave of Zionist "Big Lies" that call "Israel a thriving democracy in the heart of a region dominated by autocracies" and that claim that the State of Israel shares American values.

This sort of propaganda excuses the original racist murderous genocidal founding of the State of Israel, and it conceals the hundred years of corrupt Jewish financial manipulation and savage ethnic Ashkenazi violence

  • that preceded the founding of the State of Israel and
  • that included sabotage, sedition, targeted assassination, mass murder and genocide.
Today such hasbarah covers up the ethnocratic-oligarchic nature of the Zionist state
  • that is consolidated on principles of extremist organic nationalism, ethnic fundamentalism and ultimately ethnic monism and
  • that treats non-Jews or non-Jewish states either as a disease within the body politic (Palestinians), an external threat (non-Palestinian Arabs and Muslims) or a host to be parasitized (the USA and Western Europe).

The key weakness of Mearsheimer and Walt's thesis lies in their emphasis of outcomes over process. Their book provides no discussion either of the collusive Western European Jewish business system or of the conspiratorial Eastern European political context

  • that together birthed transnational Zionist politics and
  • that together have defined Zionist ideology and practice for over a century.

Even if Freeman had become CNI chairman, the smear campaign against him would still have indicated severe Zionist rot of the American political process as Greenwald, Weiss, Walt and others have indicated.

Because Mearsheimer & Walt misinterpret the nature of the Israel Lobby, which is the public face of the Zionist Virtual Colonial Motherland [Judonia], Walt's recent analysis of the Chas Freeman affair fails to indentify how far back in time this sort of Zionist political machination really goes.

Initially the Zionist Movement (funded by the fortunes of the Herzl family, David Wolffsohn, and Johann Kremenetzky) represented a sort of transnational Jewish politics in many ways comparable to the form of Arab Jihadism founded by Abdulla Azzam, Kamel al-Sananiri, and Osama bin-Ladin and studied by Thomas Hegghammer at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

[Azzam, who was able to read Hebrew and whose family remains active in Hamas politics in Gaza, seems to have modeled parts of his ideology and some of his activities on his partial understanding of early Zionist history.]

When Herzlian Zionism hooked up with the Cousinhood of the wealthiest British Jews and was able to benefit from the full-fledged international Jewish financial and philanthropic network, the virtual state organization that I call Judonia was born.

Judonia has been a major international actor since the beginning of the 20th century. A brief discussion of more than a century of Judonia's international influence and domestic US-UK manipulations is available in the following two on-line texts:

Judonia is the Jewish/Yiddish counterpart of Polonia, whose public face was the PPS (Polska Partia Socjalistyczna) and which is sometimes described as a 40 year conspiracy to found an independent Polish state. The eminant PPS conspirator ideologist Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz advocated PPS alliance with Jewish nationalism in historic Poland. Kelles-Krauz, who ideologically is very similar to the Zionist leader Ber Borokhov, viewed Jewish nationalism as consisting of two components:

  • mainstream Bundists and non-Marxist Yiddishists and
  • the Zionist movement, who constituted the elite conspiracy because of access to funding.

Historic Polonia differs from modern Judonia in that the Polish conspirators took public roles in the Polish government when Poland became independent. In contrast, the Zionist oligarchy and intelligentsia never intended to relocate to an independent Zionist state but remained in N. America and Europe in order to manipulate and to exploit the N. American and European political and economic systems for the benefit of Judonia, its oligarchy, and its intelligentsia.

In the current situation the Bundists and Yiddishists have dropped out of the equation, but we are still stuck with the Zionist conspiracy here in the USA, where the vast majority of political scientists unlike their Polish and Russian counterparts have little familiarity with conspiratorial political history that could serve as a lens to understand how the Zionist conspiracy operates and destroys the US political economic system.

Even though mostly Jewish communist subversion threatened America in the first half of the 20th century, the common wisdom carefully crafted primarily by Jewish academics trivializes the original Communist penetration of American political institutions and treats the anti-Communist response as the bigger problem. (See Jewish, Christian, and Palestinian Holidays for mention of 19th century Jewish academic distortions.)

Nowadays Jewish tribal or Zionist subversion may kill the the US political and economic system before the 21st century hits the halfway point. The seceding American colonies did not face as great a threat from Britain as the USA does today from Judonia.

If I had funding, I would make a documentary entitled Delusion: Radical Judaism's War Against Everyone. (See blogentries on Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.)

Because Palestinians are at the front line of the struggle against Jewish Zionist extremism, racism, exploitation, and murderousness, we Americans should acknowledge Palestinian heroism and support the liberation of Stolen and Occupied Palestine from Zionist control in every way we can. Yet ultimately the duty falls upon us to take decisive action to neutralize the Zionist fifth column and obliterate Zionism from the pages of history.

On Chas Freeman's Withdrawl

Reply to Steven Walt's Summary Points
by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

First. Arguing that the Israel Lobby is simply a lobby undercuts the struggle against the Lobby.

The Israel Lobby is the public face of the Zionist Virtual Colonial Motherland (Judonia), which runs a vast political and economic empire whose keystone is the State of Israel.

Second. The Obama administration seems to be attempting to focus on the economy and does not want to be distracted by the I/P issue until the economy is under control. Obama apparently believes that the economic disaster and I/P conflict are independent even though the financial disaster and the US-Israel alliance are inextricably linked.

Unfortunately to understand the real situation, one must study a lot of untranslated Jabotinskian literature about ethnonational financial warfare and have tracked orth American, European, and Israeli Zionist financial skulduggery since the 1980s.

Third. Rahm Emanuel's primary loyalty lies with Judonia and not with Obama or the USA. As long as he is chief of staff, the Democrats will act like wimps.

Fourth. Statistical comparison shows that the State of Israel is not Apartheid South Africa. It is Nazi Germany from January 1933 to December 1940.

Israel does not need our advice. It needs to be abolished for the good of the USA. Who cares about the Zionist colonist population, which by any reasonable ethical standards is a conglomeration of racist, murderous, genocidal, invaders, interlopers and thieves?

Last. Israel Advocates are behaving completely rationally. If there is reason to believe that Israel, which is the keystone of the Zionist imperial system and the basis of Judonia's revenue streams, cannot survive without umbilical connection to the USA, from a realist standpoint Zionists should do everything in their power to make sure that the umbilical chord remains intact.

Zionist fear is much more reasonable than Professor Walt's misplaced confidence. The State of Israel runs an operations loss and is quite justifiably hated by a good part (maybe most) of the human race. It deserves to die and will if it does not continue to receive massive infusions of US aid, which in real terms is at least $20 billion but probably closer to $30 billion per year.

---------------

If Professor Walt and other realists genuinely want Obama and the Democrats to show the fortitude needed to save the USA from the economic crisis, they have to start helping the President and his party.

Professor Walt could have brought a libel lawsuit against Abraham Foxman in the UK for The Deadliest Lies. Zionist pseudo-Academics would not think twice about such actions. See Israel Advocacy Organizations Change Tactics.

There is good reason to believe that Rahm Emanuel was engaged in dirty if not corrupt activities on Wall Street. As far as I know, no one is doing serious investigations, and certainly realists should be scouring his tax returns for evidence of impropriety.

Rahm's father Benjamin is this elderly Jewish Hannibal Lecter, and there is a whole division with the DoJ with the purpose of deporting such mass murderers to places where they can be tried and punished. The USA won't get a more realist foreign policy until patriotic Americans start demanding that OSI start enforcing the law equally for Jews and non-Jews. (See The Real Benjamin Emanuel Issue.)

To state that there is a strong moral case for supporting Israel is to concede victory to the Israel Lobby.

Foreign policy realists have to get real.

The 1000 top contributors to pro-Israel causes control or own assets with a productivity of about $2-3 trillion per year. That makes the Israel Lobby (Judonia) a player on the as large as the UK or France with none of the obligations associated with a citizenry but with most of the attributes of a physical state.

Realists have to start discussing Judonia as an international state actor and drop the pretense that the Israel Lobby is simply a lobby because Judonia has rendered the USA a dependent and intimidated client state. Why should patriotic Americans tolerate this situation?

Israel advocates are working to scare-monger a false pro-Israel consensus against Islam so that no one will be able to discuss foreign policy rationally in the USA.

Realists need to start talking about Israel and Israel advocacy as the most dangerous threat that the USA has ever faced. Over half of the national debt is attributable to costs associated with the US-Israel alliance, and the financial meltdown was the result of Zionist plutocratic manipulations gone awry.

No other strategy can save the USA from the peril it faces.

mariahussain: Hijab in America

My wife writes in Wearing Hijab in America:
It is true that there are many difficulties involved with wearing the hijab in American society. And we have to be prepared for this and understand where it comes from. First of all, we have to realize that some people are going to react to you in a hostile manner. However, it is important to realize that it is not a personal but a political issue. If someone curses at you for wearing hijab it is because they hate Islam, and it shows that they are racist, sexist, and oblivious to their Creator. Also, some people’s behavior may change towards you once you start wearing hijab, from being pleasant to extremely or subtly rude. Why is that? It is because you have rejected the idea that a woman’s role is to be cute and act stupid in order to make men’s egos feel good. You are showing them that you respect yourself and that you know who you are and you don’t feel it necessary to sell yourself by showing off your beauty just like a box of Sugar Pops.
Even though her article dates to a period before Jewish Zionist Islamophobes began to wave the hijab in earnest as one more bloody shirt in a campaign to scaremonger a false pro-Israel anti-Muslim consensus in order to manipulate US foreign policy, the content still remains timely.

The Inner (Screeching) Jew Incarnated

In The Emotional Violence of Jewish Advocacy, my wife Karin recently wrote :

The problem is that Gentiles are taught through emotional pressure and violence via the media and the school system to be very sensitive to Jewish suffering so when a Zionist becomes outraged at them for challenging their world view, the Gentile really has to fight against his own inner self in a huge battle against his "inner Jew" making him feel inadequate and intimidated. But the Jew doesn’t care how much he or she hurts others. Jews only care about what's good for the Jews.
My upbringing was so different from Karin's that I did not understand her point and removed the discussion of inner Jew from my version of her article, but her concept seems to have resonated with CSULB Professor Kevin MacDonald, for he wrote in a discussion of Karin's piece:

So I have a suggestion for the Foxmans, the Potoks, the neoconservatives, and the secular Jewish liberals of the world: If you want to fight racism and ethnic nationalism, start in your own backyard. And my suggestion for the rest of us is to get rid of what Friedemann calls the “inner Jew.” I know it’s hard to do. But once you tune out the screaming hostility (and assuming you don’t fear losing your job), it’s easy. Just don’t expect a pleasant or rational conversation.
Naomi Ragen, who is an American Jew and Israeli settler, who writes romance novels* for Orthodox Jewish women, recently advised her readership to view the following Vanessa Hidary video and heed its message.

I watched and saw the perfect incarnation of the inner (screeching) Jew to which Karin referred.

Note that Vannessa goes through the whole modern Jewish litany (liturgy) of ethnic narcissism, Holocaust obsession, and worship of the State of Israel without once mentioning God.

Because she is non-Ashkenazi and apparently a victim of the ethnic Ashkenazi system of Jewish education or indoctrination, one might also view her as a product of the previously discussed Broken Frame.

[Update: In the videoclip Vanessa obsesses about guilt-tripping a guy who said to her, "Funny, you don't look Jewish." Karin points out that Vanessa would have spent an equal amount of time in wondering how to make him feel guilty if he had told her, "Wow, you really look Jewish."]

Note

* Just before the handsome non-Jew rips off the orthodox Jewish woman's clothes to make love, he turns out to be Jewish so that they can both go to the mikvah (ritual bath) and get married.

Was Fr. Coughlin an Anti-Semite?

The Protocols of the Defenders of Zion
by Joachim Martillo (ThorsProvoni@aol.com)

After reading my previous blog entry entitled Stephen Walt: New Father Coughlin??, Maurice Pinay challenged my accusation of anti-Semitism against Father Charles E. Coughlin, who was the famous Radio Priest of the 1930s.

Because the attacks on Professor Walt during the Chas Freeman affair demonstrate that skepticism is required when Jews fling the epithet anti-Semite, I listened to more recordings of Fr. Coughlin and read more of his writings in order to determine whether I could justify my position. (See Social Security Online History Pages for a sample.)

There is no doubt that Couglin has a rather supercilious style when he talks about or at Jews, but Irish Roman Catholic priests of his generation dealt with Sicilian Roman Catholics in almost identical fashion. Coughlin is also extremely hostile to atheism and tends to equate atheist with malefactor, but I found no reason to believe he was aware that E. European ethnic Ashkenazim of the 1930s were more likely to be atheists than members of other ethnic groups.

Coughlin might have been more effective or at least better able to defend himself from charges of anti-Semitism if he had known more about modern Jews, but at that time period there were even fewer useful studies of Jewish political economy in languages he could probably have read than there are now.

Publishing The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (see here for more discussion ) has the appearance of a racist or anti-Semitic act, but I used to lecture occasionally on conspiracy theories and was always careful to make the point that they are phenomenologies, which develop in the absence of sufficient information for observers to educe legitimate understandings or theories of connections among events and participants.

I assumed in my original blog entry that it was clear and convincing evidence of prejudice that could form the basis of anti-Semitism to accept both the Protocols' thesis of implausible collaboration between mutually hostile Jewish groups and also its simultaneous obliviousness to the real Jewish conspiracies of the late 19th and early 20th century, but Couglin like many others may simply have resorted to the Protocols as the only available means to understand observable political phenomena and some genuinely malicious Jewish group behaviors, for which the organized Jewish community of that time period like its counterpart today was neither providing adequate explanation nor attempting to redress.

While The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a fabrication with little connection to reality, treating it as fact is approximately as evil as holding any of the following beliefs.
  • The State of Israel and Zionism are expressions of liberal democratic ideals.
  • The Zionist state and Zionists share American anti-racist, pro-democratic, pro-human-rights values.
  • The main impediment to peace in the ME is Arab obstinance.
Columbia Professor Joseph Massad wrote an excellent article entitled The legacy of Jean-Paul Sartre that should be read by anyone who like me has blithely made a simplistic connection between The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and anti-Semitism. Not only should Massad probably have called his article The Protocols of the Defenders of Zion, but no one enmeshed in the above three manifestly false and delusional beliefs even has the right to knock Hamas for a minor reference to the Protocols in its Charter.

[For those that have not read the Charter, here is my analysis of Hamas' alleged anti-Semitism.

Article 32 of the Charter states:
The Zionist plan is limitless. After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying.
The Charter probably cites the Protocols under the assumption that it must contain information about Zionist goals.

Article 32 in fact is evidence of the insignificance of the Protocols and European anti-Semitism as sources of Palestinian, Arab or Muslim animosity towards the State of Israel.

In fact, I have never met a Palestinian or Muslim that has actually read it. I once gave a copy to a Palestinian friend, but she confessed that she found it too boring to read.

I have scoured several versions of the Protocols in English, Russian, Polish, and German. None include a discussion of the borders of the Jewish settlement in Palestine, but the Introduction to the 1922 edition entitled WORLD CONQUEST THROUGH WORLD GOVERNMENT, PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION, tries to fit Zionism into the conspiratorial framework described by the Protocols without any discussion of the ultimate or intended borders of the Zionist State.

The Hamas Charter is really referring to the Borders of Destiny (Gvulot Ye`ud/Yi`ud), which were clearly defined in standard Zionist geography textbooks of the Mandatory period. (See The Borders of Destiny.)]
