I promised you Christmas wouldn’t be dull! In a surprising move, for the first time in 40 years, the US voted in the UN Security Council against official Tel Aviv’s wishes. The miracle friends of Palestine and progressive Israelis prayed for – occurred, after all. This is one of the first benefits of Donald Trump’s victory – the long stretch of American subservience to Jews has been broken. Yes, it was done by Obama administration – but this wouldn’t have happened if Ms Clinton were the President-Elect.

For 40 years the US vetoed every UNSC resolution potentially limiting Israel’s unalienable right to treat its goyim the way it desires, inter alia, stealing their land and settling Jews in the stolen property. (This was in line with Jewish traditional vision that gentiles have no rights in general, like a cat has no right to its cushion or a horse to its stable; they keep it only as long as it suits the man.) The world community gnashed their teeth, Israeli mirth bordered with glee, but the US remained steadfast on its defence of Israel.

In 2011 this very President Obama vetoed a resolution practically identical to the one he permitted to pass now. Since then Obama gave Israel $38 billion of military help. What changed now? Why this time Obama decided his Israeli nemesis deserves some harsh treatment?

The New York Times explained this by freedom of his approaching retirement. Like the kids the last day of school before summer vacation feel free to prank and settle accounts, the exiting politicians tend to unload their chests, often about Jews they were forced to bear with, tolerate or venerate.

The Malaysian leader Mohammad Mahathir waited until his last day in office in 2003 to say the Jews have now gained control of the most powerful countries and rule the world by proxy. Jimmy Carter and George Bush Senior did not wait: they acted to limit insatiable Israeli appetites in the first term at office, and failed to get re-elected. Obama ran two full terms and now he is free to frolic for a while.

This may explain the timing, but not the feeling. Nothing annoys a powerful man more than the need to kowtow to an obscure power. Not to a king but to somebody who has no army. The church had annoyed many rulers; the Jews are a greater nuisance. Never so much trouble from so few, said a friend. Many people hope for their fall. Even very cautious politicians and statesmen would rejoice if these arrogant people were cut down to size.

For a US president, the frustration should be hard to bear. He, ostensibly the most powerful man on earth, has been humiliated many times by Israelis. When he visited Israel, the chief rabbi Obadiah Youssef said he should kiss feet of Jews who permitted him to come hither. His proposals for a rather fair settlement of Palestinian problem were rudely rejected and his own Congress received Netanyahu with such panache as he was rarely if ever granted.

What is the mundane source of Israel’s power? Now, as in 1917, it is American Jews’ ability to influence American public opinion via their media machine. This is what the Jews said to Lord Balfour in 1917, asking him to promise Palestine to Jews and in return they would pull the US into WWI. In no other country the Jews are that powerful as in the US, and wherever they are powerful – they are powerful because of America’s support and insistence. This should be another source of frustration for an American president.

And now the Jews failed Obama and Hillary Clinton whom he supported. They failed to deliver American public opinion. They tried, they activated all their media, they paraded their Masters of Discourse, and still they failed. Trump deftly used the crack between liberal Jews and Zionists and avoided being called The Enemy of Jews, as the powerful ADL insisted. After the election, President-elect Trump had set the cat among the pigeons by nominating Mr Friedman as the US ambassador in the Israel. He turned the crack between liberal Jews and hard Zionist Jews into a war.

“Hell just froze over, reported Mondoweiss, a progressive Jewish site: The New York Times runs an article saying Zionism is racist”. Liberal Zionist Jews of America have been called to choose: are they with racism and Zionism, or with liberal values.

The European Far Right used this trick of appealing to Zionists against liberal Jews for years. Breivik the Norwegian mass murderer promoted it, too. European Far Right parties that refused to play with Zionists and Liberal Jews found themselves in the cold with zero media coverage.

Now a similar scheme had been used by the Brits – they gave Jews the thing they wanted, namely Theresa May announced that she decided to accept the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and to integrate it into British law, and in the same time they facilitated the US abstention by making the text palatable for Obama.

The Russians did it, too: they took over the TV channels from the Jewish oligarchs, removed them from power, but cozied up to Chabad fundamentalists and to Netanyahu.

The world will set itself free of Jewish hegemony, but this complicated transition calls for using one bunch of Jews against another one. Or so the politicians feel. However, the moment of freedom is approaching. As the US hegemony declines, the Jewish one follows it into decline. Trump won though the Jewish media, Masters of Discourse were against him. This lesson will be learned by politicians, and implemented.

ORDER IT NOW

Israeli behaviour contributed a lot to the change. The white people like fair play: they gave full rights to Jews and blacks though it was not to their advantage. But the Jews do not care for the fairness, just for the bottom line. Their mistreatment of Palestinians exceeded every limit of tolerance. They could relinquish Palestine altogether and live well on 78% of its territory they got by means fair and foul. They could have the Two States’ Solution, where Palestinian state has no control over its borders, skies, water or military, but still has a flag and a national anthem.

Or, if they want the whole land of Palestine, they should treat Palestinians fairly, give them rights in one state, instead of slowly planting more Jewish colonies on the stolen Palestinian land while claiming to pursue Two States track. But the Jews preferred to have their cake and eat it. Such a trick may work for a while, but not forever, and thus Zionists learned the limits of their power.

The drama of the UNSC vote deserves to be sung. Egypt tabled the draft, and it came under the pressure of Israel. General Sisi is rather weak ruler; he came to power through a military coup; he is not very popular and is susceptible to pressure. Netanyahu asked Trump to give Sisi a talk; so he did. Trump is worried his adversaries will play some nasty trick on him before inauguration, and he needs some protection. Sisi agreed to postpone the vote indefinitely. Now Obama had been properly annoyed by Trump’s interference and by Netanyahu’s going over his head. One President at a time, he said famously.

Four states picked up the motion dropped by Egypt. New Zealand had been threatened by Netanyahu who promised “war”, recall of his ambassador and removing the embassy. But New Zealand did not budge an inch. They already sorted the matter out with England, and Netanyahu’s threats were just so much of hot air for them. A few years ago, they already had sent the Israeli ambassador packing home after it transpired Israeli Mossad assassins were equipped with phony NZ passports.

The motion has been tabled again. Netanyahu called Putin in despair. Putin was very friendly and promised to do what he can. The Russian man in the UN, Vitally Churkin, indeed tried to postpone the vote until after Christmas, or after Trump’s inauguration, but nobody else agreed with him. So he voted for the motion.

He could not do else: as a member of the Quartet, Russia is a strong and generous supporter of Palestine, and she is an historic protector of Palestinians. Until recently Russia did not recognise Israeli conquests of 1948, and that includes West Jerusalem. In the Russian maps, the borders of Israel are the 1947 Partition plan demarcation lines, 7000 square km less then 1949 Green line. Israelis underestimated Russian moral and religious fibre.

A day earlier, Israel’s representative stayed away from the vote on Syria in the UN General Assembly, in order to please Putin. So Netanyahu expected quid pro quo, but Putin preferred not to endanger the Russian well-deserved and hard-earned reputation as the protector of Palestine and Syria. The Russian president is a rational man. He wants to be friends with Israel for many reasons, but not for any price: he is not Sisi, nor sissy. Besides, Netanyahu did not hesitate to bomb Damascus airport and Syrian army units, Russia’s allies. Putin did not fight back, but he remembered that.

Now Netanyahu is in hysterics; he threatens the world with diplomatic war and attacks the PNA. In a frenzy, he called Ambassadors of UNSC member states to come to his Foreign Office on Christmas Day, as in the case of war. He still did not get that he had lost. Israel and its policy towards Palestinians are greatly disliked by entire world for they are arrogant and unfair.

Netanyahu hopes Trump will change everything back into his favour. I doubt it. Now Trump feels he needs Jewish support, but after inauguration? He’ll see its cost may be too high. Trump will probably play it like Putin: being friendly but minding his own business.

And truly angered Obama has one more shot, on January 15, 2017, when the French program may internationalise the peace talks. This is a big danger for Netanyahu and his far right.

It appears the Jews greatly overestimated their real punching weight. They fell to believe in the Protocols as in their charter of power, while it was just a story. And such stories have a shelf life and validity date.

    I don’t believe Trump is a threat to Zionist ambitions in the Middle East. The Obama snub in the UN is just an ineffectual personal snub and will be undone by Trump when he assumes power.

    The American Jewish establishment have a stranglehold on the American political apparatus. They are simply too entrenched to be ignored or fought by Trump even if he wanted to change course.

    I question whether there is really a fight between American Liberal Jews and American Zionist Jews and Israeli Jews. The tribal bonds are too ancient and strong to be broken.

    I will admit there is no love lost between the Liberal Jewish media and Trump but Trump has sided with Israeli Jews and America under Trump will be pro- Israeli as usual.

    However I don’t underestimate Netanyahu’s ability to alienate and mismanage Trump’s pro Israeli sentiments because they are both stubborn inflexible bullies and a personal animosity between them could usher in significant changes in the Israeli- American relations, in spite of the best efforts of Trump’s Jewish advisors.

    What I don’t understand is the resolution doesn’t really do… anything. So why are Israelis so worked up? What’s a few quasi-harsh words?

    For a people who have such zeal in their legitimacy they sure get worked up on the slightest verbal provocation. Unless that legitimacy is so shaky it can ill afford a few unpleasant and basically ineffectual sentences.

    Or maybe some genetic-level fear that’s instilled in every Israeli (you would think nukes are enough to give you a sure heart).

Interesting in the context of the author’s remarks about liberal Jews and Zionists (not necessarily mutually exclusive categories I would have though BTW) is the fact that John Key, the New Zealand PM, who has only just announced his retirement while right on top of the political game, has a Jewish mother.

If Jews in Europe and Russia prior to WWII were as corrosive and hostile to their hosts as modern Jews in America are to America’s majority, it’s no wonder that the Germans wanted them out, many Poles, Russians and Ukrainians wanted them dead, and the Nazis had willing collaborators everywhere they went. Were/are Jews really hated for no reason at all?

    That is a good question, Max.

    If the resolution makes no real “demands” on Israel, why all the huff and puff from King Bibi ?

    I think the reason is “exposure”.

    If Israel can have a resolution in the U.N.S.C. “vetoed” …then for all intensive purposes the resolution “vanishes” as though it never existed.

    And everyone goes on about their business.

    But when a resolution passes unanimously, as this one did, (specifically critical of Israels “illegal” settlements in the Palestinian Territories) …then it pulls back the curtain, on ALL of world opinion, which is wholly unanimous in disavowing the admissibility of acquiring territory through force.

    The resolution makes it crystal clear the “entire world” views the settlement enterprise as illegal.

    The absence of the veto “un-vanishes” this…..makes it stick……makes it “real”……

    And that “stings”.

    the snub is based on international law.

    As I said in an earlier post, they steal the land. This is based on swanning about with assault rifles and seizing the tops of all of the hiills.

    Have you ever met Israelis?

    They will behave in a nice way, I suppose, to Jews.

    They are always arrogant, I know it from temporary housing for a few months in the ’80s, then at the end of the ’90s and early ’00, our government decided to not allow them to enter and run illegal businessses in Japan soon after, this a good thing, I think.

    I will not recounting the worst thing I was witnessing from them, the mods would likely not allowing me to say it, but I think things like that had something to do with the govt. stopping the laissez-faire system for Israelis.

    So, the UN passes another toothless resolution, asking Israel to please stop stealing land and fomenting genocide, to which America obtains from voting. That is about as wishy washy as you can get, and about as out of line, Zionists will permit even if it is just for show.

    This whole tiff with Israel is most likely a rouse, a tactic of manipulation: The right hates Obama, so make Israel appear to be an enemy of Obama, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”, ergo, Israel is a friend of the right. It is typical realignment after the change of parties in Washington, democrat or republican, the Zionist Jews are always in control.

    Dear Mr Shamir,

    After listening to Secretary Kerry enumerate his parameters for a resolution to this difficult and long standing conflict….it seems to be handing Israel nearly everything it always wanted..

    1. The largest existing settlement blocks would not be disbanded but incorporated into Israel.
    2. The Palestinians expelled in 48′ (and their descendants) would agree to accept compensation packages for relinquishing their “Right of Return” to what is now Israel.

    3. The newly formed state of Palestine would be wholly “demilitarized”.

    4. Israel retains its “Jewish demographic majority” in a state of its own with clearly defined borders and consequently its right to control its own destiny in perpetuity.

    5. Decades of conflict, strife, cruelty,suffering and heartbreak would be replaced with the tidings of peace, good will and cooperation.

    6. Huge bridges to Israel would be built overnight, with the promise of trade, tourism, and prosperity unknown to an Israel trapped in its state of perpetual conflict.

    Mr. Netanyahu spares no expense in reiterating the imperative of Israel’s need for “Security”…….

    …..yet seems to be wholly oblivious to the fact that nothing could bring MORE security to Israel …..than being “at Peace” with its neighbors.

  21. Durruti says:

    I am looking for opportunities to relay this knowledge to UNZ readers.

    The ‘Saker’ has written a scathing and slanderous attack against Palestinians. He refers to the “terror campaign the Palestinians waged”.

    “The ‘Saker‘ wrote the following in his missive: 2016: The Year of Russia’s Triumph. I quote substantially.

    “The Russians need to revisit the kind of terror campaign the Palestinians waged in the 1970s against the Israelis when they attacked not only Israeli cultural centers, but also Jewish daycare centers, schools, and synagogues. Russian Orthodox churches are now facing the very same threat including bombings and hostage taking. As somebody who has attended Russian Orthodox churches all my life and all over the planet I know that the number of potential targets are in the *hundreds* and that they are all completely unprotected.

    The Israeli example is crucial here because the Israelis rapidly realized that they simply could not count on the local police forces to protect them. This is why they organized various local organizations directly attached to a synagogue or school staffed by volunteers who could do many very useful and fully legal things to protect Israeli/Jewish targets such as, for example, begin to occupy all the parking spaces around a synagogue 48 hours before any religious holiday to make sure that no VBIEDs (aka “car bombs”) could be placed next to the synagogue. There is *a lot* a well educated group of volunteers can do to legally protect an exposed civilian target. They can do even better when they work with the locals cops and the security specialists at the embassy. The Russians urgently need to study the Israeli experience in dealing with a kind of threat which they will soon face. Remember, the Palestinians also began by attacking diplomats, officials and aircraft, but as soon as these targets were “hardened” they turn to daycare centers, schools and synagogues.”

    The ‘Saker,’ is clearly attacking the victims of Zionist-Nazi Ethnic Cleansing. It is the Zionist entity and the Zionist New World Order that has terrorized Palestinians, stolen their Land, eradicated their towns and cities, destroyed hundreds of their Temples and Churches, jailed more than 10,000 Palestinian Political Prisoners, and butchered thousands of their people, including women, children, and their elderly.

    The timing of his pro-Zionist attack is key; he writes it just after the successful passing of a decent United Nations Security Council resolution that relays some support for the Palestinian Nation in their struggle to survive.

    What is the true role of the ‘Saker’? How can he express something – so wrong? Why? Who is he working for? His actual name and identity is well known. For an individual who has claimed to be in opposition to the Anglo Zionist New World Order, how can he explain this?

    All it takes is a few bad apples…

    Nay, indeed, the danger concerns not those Jews that dwell here only, but those of them which dwell in other cities also; for there is no people upon the habitable earth which have not some portion of you among them, whom your enemies will slay, in case you go to war, and on that account also; and so every city which hath Jews in it will be filled with slaughter for the sake of a few men, and they who slay them will be pardoned; but if that slaughter be not made by them, consider how wicked a thing it is to take arms against those that are so kind to you.

    Speaking of “cautious statesmen” , King Agrippa was a fine example of that.

    As far as “many people wait for their fall,” chapters 16-18 confirm the ancient roots of the claim. Too bad it consistently takes so few to make a huge mess.

    “They are always arrogant”…”I will not recounting the worst thing I was witnessing from them”

    Jews can be humans to others only when they are a minority in a civilized country. At least they have to pretend. In their own country there is no need for pretense as there is no force to restrain their arrogance, chutzpah, sense of entitlement and suprematism. It was a terrible mistake to allow Jews have their own country. In the West after Enlightenment when Jews were emancipated in early 19 century they were given a chance to assimilate and get civilized. It kind of worked. It was also of great benefit to Jews. They have learned arts and science. Became composers, scientists, writers and even painter which their Bronze Age civilization could not create on its own. The creation of Israel set back this process.

    The resolution makes it crystal clear the “entire world” views the settlement enterprise as illegal.

    Exactly — the US Jew MSM is focusing and concentrating on Obama in propagandist fashion — when the whole would voted against Israel.

    They make it out that there was only one bad misguided shameful man, when in reality 7 billion people opposed them. Cleaver those Jews.

    Clearly the US Jews have chosen racism and Zionism – they are Zombies – incapable of honesty when it comes to Jew matters.

    Now Trump feels he needs Jewish support, but after inauguration? He’ll see its cost may be too high. Trump will probably play it like Putin: being friendly but minding his own business.

    Let us hope this is true – any concentration on the ME will diminish what America needs most – a better structured economy.

    Wally, of course the six million story is false, and a good chunk of those who did die died of disease and starvation towards the end of the war, when Germany was being destroyed, and Germans were also dying from disease and starvation. It’s still true that the Nazis rounded up Jews for deportation, and that many Jews were killed in Eastern Europe to even the score for Bolshevik crimes. The Germans had collaborators everywhere they went for a reason.

    Dan Hayes,

    Thanks for responding.

    You write:

    “The Saker is not attacking “the victims of Zionist-Nazi Ethnic Cleansing.”

    Then what is this? The ‘Saker’ wrote:

    the kind of terror campaign the Palestinians waged in the 1970s against the Israelis”

    The highlights are mine.

    or:

    “Remember, the Palestinians also began by attacking diplomats, officials and aircraft, but as soon as these targets were “hardened” they turn to daycare centers, schools and synagogues.”

    These highlights are mine. Notice the Present Tense of “they turn to”.

    The ‘Saker’ is clearly “attacking “the victims of Zionist-Nazi Ethnic Cleansing.”

    These highlights are also mine.

    For dogs sake! Read ‘Saker’s’ missive. He is slandering the Palestinians, distorting the history of their struggle, and using the “Israelis” as the ‘good model’ of how to protect oneself from terrorism, even though the Zionist ‘Israelis’ are the actual Terrorists.

    One cannot protect oneself from terrorism, if one does not have the intestinal fortitude to accurately identify the Terrorists. That lesson has been lost on the ‘Saker,’ and you?

    ISIS, Al Quaida, and the other alphabet soup of terrorists, have been financed and organized by the American and Zionist World Order.

    Finally, reread Shamir’s article. Shamir writes:

    ” But the Jews do not care for the fairness, just for the bottom line. Their mistreatment of Palestinians exceeded every limit of tolerance.” And there’s more.

    I would prefer to just hit ‘Agree’, but it deserves more reply than that.

    In my experience here and overseas, most (by no means, not all, I have complete faith, for example, in the goodwill towards the US and the world of our host, Mr. Unz, I had friends overseas, too) Jewish people treat non-Jews as non-human unless they can see a means to gain.

    I use Jewish because the Israelis are, in my experience the worst, but many Jewish people who are not Israeli citizens (but can automatically becoming that to flee any crime) are very unpleasant.

    If Madoff had made it to Israel, he would have automatic asylum there.

    As it stands, his relatives are heirs to the dirty fortune he amassed.

    Although the funny point of Madoff, and the only reason he was arrested, was that his marks were mainly fellow ‘chosen’.

    @Joe Wong

    Don’t get me wrong, I am 100% against genocide, racism, and hate but I simply believe it did not happen.

    1. Where are the bodies? The ones you see in photos are hardly evidence of gassings (I’ll elaborate on that on #2). Those either died from starvation or typhus. When the Red Cross came after the war, there was not a single autopsy that linked a corpse to a gassing. Not one. The official explanation for this is pretty much that they cremated all 6 million, but, again, where is the physical proof? It is very well within our means to find the very large layer of ash that 6 million bodies would leave within the earth, but, to this day, nothing of the sort been found.

    2. Why do the eyewitness testimonies describe the gassed corpses having colors that would be scientific impossibilities? Look at any medical journal within the past 100 years. You will find that hydrogen cyanide/carbon monoxide poisoning results in an unmistakably cherry red color that a medical professional can easily identify just by looking at it. Yet, many of these testimonies are describing yellow, green, black, etc. colored corpses. Wtf? These are against everything we know about cases of hydrogen cyanide/carbon monoxide corpses. The only logical conclusion after this would be that the witnesses lied. In reference to #1, a cherry red corpse would not be white like the bodies you see on monochrome Holocaust photos. They would be a very distinct grey.

    There are not only inconsistencies with the bodies themselves, but the process behind the gassings. Filip Müller’s testimony (which is highly regarded) contradicts the logistics and the mechanism behind on German delousing technology (because that’s what the gas chambers were for). These were state of the art chambers whose science is heavily covered in pre-Hitler German literature and his testimony simply contradicts the specific way these chambers were properly used. One example of this was his description of Zyklon-B “crystals” and “perforated” funnels, which is a description that is not only inconsistent with the actual technology (by someone who supposedly was familiar with how they operated), but a setup that would have failed to allow proper ventilation necessary to kill most of the victims in the room.

    3. Why are there no German documents that identify any gassing victims? Feel free to send me one because you will not find any, as hard as that is to believe. Why are there no German documents that speak of gassing exterminations?

    4. Why were Nuremberg Trials confessions obtained under torture? Why is the Holocaust the only event ever that is illegal to deny?

    I will consider, and always have, any overwhelming proof in support of the Holocaust, but I am waiting because there is simply not enough cold, hard proof to back it up, the burden of which is on the claimant.

    You need to use something else other than forum.codoh.com to prove ’6M Jews, 5M others, & gas chambers is scientifically impossible.”

    There are several other resources that argue from numerous other perspectives to get at fundamental facts about WWII and the alleged holocaust.

    One such resource is Institute for Historical Review (IHR);

    another resource, related to CODOH, is the Holocaust Handbook Series, and especially Lectures on the Holocaust—Controversial Issues Cross Examined, by Germar Rudolf
    “Lectures” is available online at http://holocausthandbooks.com/dl/15-loth.pdf
    You may notice that while the authors of many Holocaust Handbooks offer their writing free, online, they also ask for donations: one of the major difficulties with taking alternative viewpoints about the war (otherwise known as telling both sides of the story) is that those who promote the dogmatized narrative have vast wealth behind them, while those who promulgate an alternative perspective are often fined, fired, imprisoned, etc. for the thinking and writing, and their research burned.

    Which takes us to yet another resource: David Irving has devoted many years of his life to seeking out primary sources, writing about, and publishing important history about World War II and its key personalities. Irving has been imprisoned, fined, and his research removed from his home. Here’s Irving’s website — http://www.fpp.co.uk or google for his numerous video presentations.

    Continue to use forum.codoh.com as the sole evidence to support your insistence that the Holocaust is a scam and has never happened is merely showing that “you are showing a history of utter indoctrination” and a war crime, crime against peace and crime against humanity denier.

    “. . .as the sole evidence . . .”
    That’s interesting: the enforcers of the holocaust dogma insist that the rest of us accept their narrative “as the sole evidence” of a very complex series of events, the most destructive in all of human history, and failing to accept their “sole evidence” convicts us of “a war crime and crime against peace and against humanity.”
    Serious stuff.

    Perhaps you’re right: “CODOH as the sole evidence” may be too limiting, but several other resources are offered, above. Check back when you’ve mastered all of them.

    You should never underestimate the dark side of human beings.

    Do all human beings or just some human beings have a dark side?

    It seems to me that a group that seeks to enforce one and one only version of the history of a very dark period in history is trying just a tad too hard to conceal their own complicity in those events. Otherwise, why would they resist shining the light?

    Do you have a different explanation for why it should be against the law to investigate fully, from all sides, who did what to whom and why?

    “Your quotations are correct. Thank you.”

    The “quotations” condemn the ‘Saker’ utterly. If he wishes to “ensure the safety of some of Russia’s worldwide assets.” he, the ‘Saker’ would do better to identify the actual terrorists – who are endangering Russia, as well as the survival of the Human Race.

    The “main component” s- must be the Truth, and sympathy for the Oppressed.

    These Terrorists are not the Palestinians. The ‘Saker’ could easily have used examples of actual terrorism conducted against Russia, or the Soviet Union, to make his point. His decision to slander the Palestinians, who are utterly repressed, and living in exile, or in Refugee camps, or the Concentration Camp of Gaza, or in the vast Zionist Entity Gulag prison System, or in tightly surrounded and walled-in communities in the ‘West Bank,’ displays a darker motive.

    Hollywood has made enough of those movies that slander the victims of Zionism.

    IMO, the power a minority has over a majority is always shaky. Words are an expression of ideas, and ideas lead to action. A resolution such as this is a challenge to the sense of superiority and moral authority inherent in the conquest and settlement of Palestine. Given the ultimate weakness of their position, as it depends so much on the support of the U.S., this is a 5 alarm fire.

  54. @Anonymous

    “Floyd, doesn’t it even occur to you that there was a perfectly valid and legitimate reason why Jews were not hostile to each and every government in countries like Russia and other EE nations?”

    Does it ever occur to you that there are valid reasons that people resent or dislike Jews that have nothing to do with Jewish success or brilliance? Many Europeans heavily associated Jews with Bolsheviks, and Bolshevik crimes, which is one reason that the Germans had so many collaborators. It’s also true that most Europeans were second-class citizens, or worse–serfs–for much of European history.

    Jews set themselves apart as much as they are set apart by others. Just look at the Jewish community in America, which has been treated fabulously well, and is still largely hostile and corrosive towards the majority, and largely devoted to the marginalization and destruction of traditional America. Name one Jewish organization that isn’t constantly on the attack against traditional America. There isn’t one. If Jews were as bad in Europe pre-WWII, it’s no surprise that they were hated.

    ” I won’t go into your diabolic justifications for why millions of innocent Jewish men women and children had to die. Let alone that that all the aforementioned people that you listed were right to “want them dead.”

    My point was that the six million number is not correct, and that many who died did so from disease or starvation towards the end of the war when Germans were also dying from disease and starvation. As for the revenge killings in EE, the Bolsheviks weren’t that innocent, and their victims likely knew who they were going after. Maybe you should realize that Jews aren’t always innocent victims, and that other people have motives that are just as human as those of any Jew.

    ” I hope in your next life or even in this life your descendants will experience what it is like to live under the government who wants you dead and wishes you harm.”

    That’s mighty Jewish of you. No surprise there.

    “It is the subhumanity of people like yourself and an asinine refusal to try to understand the things from the Jewish perspective that facilitated Zionism and created the ME conflict and it will sure as HELL not be even remotely successful in resolving it.”

    Again mighty Jewish of you! Must be great to be fully human. Who says I care one bit about the ME. I don’t. I want America’s problems solved, and I don’t care one bit about Jewish sensibilities.

    ” Heaping all the stereotypes of the Jews on Israelis and judging them from a biased perspective and impossibly high standards, will certainly not help to bring about peace.”

    I’m not sure I did any of that. However, when Jewish Americans work so closely with Israelis, and care more about Israelis than other Americans, I have no problem lumping them together. Both groups are largely foreign to me. FWIW, I’ve lived among Israelis and Jewish Americans, and they are very similar in many ways. Neither Israelis or American Jews seem to want peace in the ME, or anywhere for that matter. The neocons certainly don’t, and the phony leftist Jews only talk peace, but always back Israel in the end. The tribal stereotype is accurate.

    When did white people give full rights to Blacks? When they kidnapped and enslaved millions of Africans for several centuries to provide the labor to make Western wealth possible? When they agreed to divide up Africa among themselves to be looted for its resources with the help of coerced labor? And what about the period since the end of official slavery, when laws have been and still are written and interpreted to criminalize and enslave Black people for doing things that whites do as much, but are rarely prosecuted for? And, at least in the U.S., New Deal programs were fine-tuned to help whites much more than Blacks?

    And it’s not just Blacks that have suffered from white “fair play”. There’s also the white colonialist extermination of indigenous peoples, mainly in the Americas, and the white colonialist exploitation of people and plunder of resources in much of Asia. If white people do “like fair play”, I hate to imagine how they would have behaved over the centuries if they didn’t!

    It is, however, a nice convenient concentration of Jews for enemies to target. If Israel were eliminated, that get rid of well over one-third of the world’s Jews at one stroke. That would, of course, be a tragedy and a moral crime.

    The tiny percentage of whites who purchased black slaves — less than one tenth of one percent of Americans or Brits, to be sure — bought them FROM OTHER BLACK AFRICANS, rather than, typically, “kidnapping” them.

    It’s right and necessary to condemn both the white (or sometimes Jewish) buyer and the black African seller. But that wouldn’t fit your fantasy of uniquely evil whites and innocent blacks.

    Slavery is wrong no matter who practiced it, and it was practiced by Africans and Arabs on a wide scale as well — including the massive African role in selling their alleged brothers into slavery in the west.
