Israel: Strange Bedfellows & Judea and Samaria

The Zionists were even more duplicitous in that they now are assured of having the holocaust to justify their tactics and help create and preserve Der Judenstaat, a holocaust that could be used to blackmail, bully the basically anti-Semitic Western Christian nations, their allies and any individual or group that criticizes Jews or Israel. Listen to this well known American Jew's argument. "To single out Jewish self-determination for condemnation is itself a form of racism. A world that closed its doors to Jews who sought escape from Hitler's ovens lacks the moral standing to complain about Israel's giving preference to Jews," wrote lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Discussing the current rise in anti-Israel sentiments in Europe, a New York Times Editorial (4/20/02) suggests Europeans' anti-Israel sentiments are an ironic twist: Their "guilt over the [h]olocaust may be salved with the thought that Jews, too, can act with cruelty." After all, wasn't it the Jews who crucified Jesus: "The liberal Italian daily La Stampa depicted a baby Jesus looking up from the manger at an Israeli tank, saying, 'Don't tell me they want to kill me again.'" We will be hearing similar criticisms of U.S. corporations and F.D. Roosevelt's administration when Edwin Black's recently updated paperback edition (2002) becomes generally available: IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation, (New York: Crown Publisher, pp. 519). A review published by the American Jewish Historical Society says "Edwin Black has given holocaust history an extraordinary new dimension. Clearly, the destruction of six million Jewish lives, and countless non-Jews, could not have been possible without IBM's Hollerith [punch card] machines." IBM consciously and skillfully aided and abetted the Third Reich throughout WW II with a wink and a nod from the U.S. State Department and other governmental agencies. Like IBM, Zionists and Israelis in general will not be able to deny their complicity in the genocidal horrors of Naziism.^{25a,
25b} They won't be able to because the victims of this slaughter, their decendents and others will continue to point accusing fingers at them. The following statements from Zionists apologizing for their refusal to resist the slaughter of millions of their own people are very enlightening.

"Yitzhak Greenbaum justified the Zionist leaders' policy of hiding the facts about the holocaust from the public, in a speech he made at Sokolov House on 1 January 1964. He said: 'Whoever is building the homeland and is battling for the very existence of the homeland, is excused from knowing; for he has another, greater obligation'" (Rabbi Moshe Shonfeld, The Holocaust Victims Accuse, Neturei Karta, USA, New York, 1977, p. 79).
"Thus after the war too, Greenbaum reaffirms that the holocaust had to be covered up because the knowledge that European Jewry was being exterminated would have distracted attention from the more important question of building a Jewish State in Palestine. This was also the occasion on which Greenbaum produced another gem: 'It would have been worthwhile to sacrifice another million Jews for the glory of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt'" (Shonfeld, ibid., p. 79).

"Our Zionist orientation educated us to see the growing land of Israel as the prime goal and the Jewish nation only in relation to its building the land. With each tragedy befalling the Jews in the Diaspora, we saw the state as the evident solution. We continued employing this principle even during the holocaust, saving only those who could be brought to Israel. The mandate's limitation on immigration served as a political factor in our battle to open the doors to aliyah [Hebrew for "immigration"] and to establishing the state. Our programs were geared to this aim and for this we were prepared to sacrifice or endanger lives. Everything outside of this goal, including the rescue of European Jewry for its own sake, was a secondary goal."²⁶ (Shonfeld, op cit., pp. 24-25). See also The Messages the Zionists Ignored: Rabbi Weissmandel's Plea for Help.²⁷

How diabolical can a so-called "chosen people" be. It should not be overlooked that the United States, England, France, indeed the Western "developed" world were (are) also complicit in assuring the holocaust ("shoah" in Hebrew) could be efficiently carried out. They did this by remaining silent from 1933 to 1941, even though they knew what Hitler was going to do once he came to power. He told them in his Mein Kampf, first published in 1924. And no sooner Hitler became chancellor, he began to carry out his genocidal threat. The New York Times was full of constant reminders of Nazi atrocities not only in Germany, but also in Poland, France, Holland and Austria. Of great importance here is this point: Palestinians "do not believe they should forfeit their land to compensate Jews for the United States' and Europe's crimes against them."

In fact, the rest of the world turned a totally deaf ear to the problem. The United States admitted about 100,000 prior to 1939 (during the years from 1933 to 1943, there were 400,000 unfilled slots in the U.S. quota system which had been established by the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924; however, Germany's quota was filled and the quotas were non-transferable! England accepted 80,000, Holland, 22,000, Belgium, about 13,000, Switzerland, 9,000, Argentina, 20,000, other Latin American countries, about 20,000. British controlled Palestine only admitted about 70,000 prior to 1941. These numbers are pitifully small in contrast to the fate which Europe's 11 million Jews faced in 1933 (see note 21 above).

History also informs us that the U.S. didn't enter the war until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941; the U.S. went to war with Japan in 1941 and subsequently went to war with Germany only AFTER Hitler declared war on the U.S. The U.S. has again remained silent while the racist Zionists ravaged and disenfranchised the Palestinian people, taking their lands, driving many into exile in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt or into refugee camps in their own homeland. All of this was done, so that Israel could build a majority, exclusively Jewish state, where they would not have to give basic democratic and citizenship rights to Palestinian people who will outnumber them now or later. This is precisely the reason the Israelis cannot accept the Palestinian demand for the "right of return." Currently, the Israeli birthrate is 2.6 vs the 6.1 birthrate for Palestinians. If the Palestinian birthrate continues a pace, the Palestinian population could double to 6 million by 2016 and out number the Israeli population. There are currently 4.9 million Jewish citizens. Sixty-three percent of the Jewish population was born in Israel and among them, 43 percent are second generation Israelis.

According to data published recently by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, approximately 3 million Jewish citizens immigrated to Israel, 1 million of whom arrived from the former Soviet Union in the 1990s. "Of the 1.1 million Israeli Arabs, 81 percent are Muslim, 10 percent Christian and 9 percent Druze. According to the PCBS survey results, the occupied territory’s current Palestinian population is about 2.9 million, with one million living in the Gaza Strip and 1.9 million in the West Bank. Of that, 47 per cent are below the age of 15, while the areas’ total fertility rate is 6.1 – it is 5.6 in the West Bank and 6.9 in the Gaza Strip. The average household size is 6.4. The figures are based on the actual enumeration of 407,265 households, of which 262,736 were in the West Bank and 144,529 in the Gaza Strip."²⁸ The Israeli government's refusal to grant the Palestinian refugees²⁹ their "right to return"³⁰ is predicated on these numbers. In order to drive the Palestinians out, the Israelis, like the Ku Klux Klan in the United States, resort to terrorism veiled with counterfactual claims of self defense, gunmen, homeland security, preservation of civilization, protection or counter-terrorism.

The dictionary definition of terrorism is: "ter·ror·ism (tµr“…-r¹z”…m) n. The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." The United States defines terrorism as follows:

"[An] act of terrorism, means any activity that (A) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping." (United States Code Congressional and Administrative News, 98th Congress, Second Session, 1984, Oct. 19, volume 2; par. 3077, 98 STAT. 2707 [West Publishing Co., 1984]). This definition of terrorism is found in Noam Chomsky. (2001). 9-11. New York: Seven Stories Press, p. 16. See also Note 31a for the complete "Department of State: Report on Foreign Terrorist Organizations," Released by the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, October 5, 2001.

According to these definitions, any thinking person should have no trouble coming to the conclusion that the pre-eminent terrorist state in the 21st century is the United States, for it, as the world's only superpower, threatens to use "force and violence," i.e., anything that will "intimidate or coerce" any nation refusing to follow its lead. A current example of this process is the aborted U.S. sanctioned coup in Venezuela. The U.S. arrogantly believes it can use its military and economic power to establish a Pax Americana throughout the world and specifically in Southeast Asia. According to the presidential Texas Ranger, George W. Bush, "You're either with us or against us. If you're against us, be aware of that what we are doing to Afghanistan, we will surely do to you." "Terrorism: Theirs and Ours" by Eqbal Ahmad^{31a,
31b} gives an insightful analysis of terrorism as it should be understood in today's world. Israel follows the United States' terroristic lead. Compare the rhetoric of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell and Condelessa Rice to that coming from the mouths of Sharon and his cohorts. They are strikingly similar. Indeed, Sharon now bullies the United States and the conservative right and left into servile submission by using "Bush speak": viz., war on terrorism, homeland defense, gunmen, terrorists, homicide bombers, self-defense, uncivilized barbarians, and other catch phrases bandied about by Bush and company. In an open letter to Ariel Sharon, Breyten Breytenbach is on point when he writes: "It remains to be seen whether the growling of your principals in Washington will inflect your campaign of calculated terror and wanton destruction – or whether it is but a smokescreen behind which to better align the 'free world's' war on 'terrorism.' And for the domination of resources and a global control of markets and cheap oil and 'democracy.'"^{32a,
32b}

Moreover, the Bush administration continues to give voice to state terrorism when it adamantly threatens to attack North Korea and Iran, and attack, depose or assassinate Saddam Hussein for their supposed attempts to produce weapons of mass destruction or their support of terrorists. Nothing at all is said, however, about Israel's support of repressive regimes in Latin America and Africa. Furthermore, the U.S. is very tightlipped about Israel's possession of nuclear weapons. Consider this U.N. resolution: "'The Risk of Nuclear Proliferation in the Middle East': This resolution continues to omit the positive references to the Southwest Asian peace process that it previously used, but omits specific reference to Israel by name. It does refer to "the only State in the Middle East that has not yet signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons" and calls upon that State to accede fully to the Non-Proliferation Treaty without further delay, and without any further testing or development of nuclear weapons."^33a It is obvious "the only State in the Middle East" is Israel;^33b it is also obvious what Western nations – France, for example – provided the technological know how and fissionable materials. Israel has never signed the Non-proliferation treaty. Is there any reason not to assume Israel will unleash this weapon on the Palestinians and by extension any of the other Islamic nations that may threaten its existence? Of course they will given their previous history. Shouldn't the United States demand inspections is see whether Israel is manufacturing in Dimona and elsewhere weapons of mass destruction – chemical, biological and/or nuclear? Or would such an act frustrate its geopolitical designs in the region?

The Jewish state was first slated to be placed in a British colony in Africa: "At the Sixth Zionist Congress at Basle on 26 August 1903, Herzl proposed the British Uganda Program as a temporary refuge for Russian Jews who were in immediate danger. In actuality the British offered the Kenya highlands to the Zionists because Uganda and Kenya "were still governed out of Uganda's capital Kampala.") By a vote of 295-178 it was decided to send an expedition ('investigatory commission') to examine the territory." This proposal was rejected at the Seventh Zionist Congress in 1905.^34a "The Madagascar Plan"^34b was proposed much later in 1940. This was a widely publicized plan to ship all German Jews to the island of Madagascar, off the East African coast after the war. Madagascar had formerly been a French colonial possession. There were other similar plans for an African colony in Nigeria or South Africa. The progress of history is complicated with many strange turns. The major one being that the first terrorists in Palestine were the Zionists, who terrorized the British and the Islamic peoples of Palestine to force the British to allow Europe's Jews to enter Palestine and establish an independent and solely Jewish state in Eretz Yisroel, which includes in their view ALL of Palestine, Judea and Samaria and, as greed would dictate, southern Lebanon, Jordan and parts of Syria as well. This is the Israeli's concept of "Greater Israel."

According to the Israeli government, "Judea and Samaria, located on the west bank of the River Jordan, provide Israel with essential security. The 1949 Armistice [border] lines left only 9 miles between the eastern border and the Mediterranean Sea. (This is roughly the distance from La Guardia airport to downtown Manhattan). Over half of Israel's population lives in this narrow vulnerable stretch of land. In addition, most of Israel's industry and economic infrastructure is concentrated there including its energy and power installations. These lands have been declared appointed or expropriated by the State of Israel for settlement and security purposes, and land to which the state claims title. Likewise, the settlement areas contain land between adjacent settlements in order to create settlement clusters with a protected space." The Israelis take state security to mean having a population devoid, if politically possible, of all Palestinians, i.e., "goyim rein"; ("goyim" in Yiddish is a disparaging term for one who is not a Jew; "rein" means free of or clean.) This ethnic-cleansing policy³⁵ on the part of the Israeli government angers Palestinians and exacerbates their need to resist this policy and the acquiescence of the Israeli citizenry to it.^{36a,
36b}

Ariel Sharon, when he was minister of Agriculture, planned the building of dozens of Jewish settlements in far-flung parts of the occupied territories. This was designed to make Israeli withdrawal from these territories impossible whenever Israel may consider compromising its principles. The Settlement Map illustrates categorically that Israel has already placed settlements in practically 50 percent of the West Bank. These settlements along with the return of Palestinian refugees are the primary obstacles to any resolution of the differences between Palestinians and the Zionist Israelis. It can be seen quite clearly on this map the extent to which Israeli settlements cover the mountains of Israel as mentioned in Yechezkel / Ezekiel 38:8: "After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them." The Israeli Settlements Map is from 1993. As of June 1999, there were 117 Jewish settlements in the West Bank with a

population of more than 160,000). More, and more Palestinian territory is still being bodaciously "redeemed," what's left are virtual bantustans à la South African apartheid.

The Israeli government has proposed a plan for the occupied territories which goes as follows: "According to the framework plan proposed . . . , the territory under the exclusive control of the Palestinian Authority (Area A) will grow from 2.7% of the area of Judea and Samaria to 27% at the end of the withdrawals – that is, an area ten times as great. In this process, the number of Palestinians under the full control of the Palestinian Authority will grow from 588,000 at present to 1,244,000 at the end of the withdrawals. Moreover, if the Palestinian population of Gaza is also taken into consideration, the population of Palestinians under exclusive Palestinian rule will grow from 63% to 88%. The rest of the Palestinian population, numbering 317,000 (about 130,000 in greater Jerusalem, 90,000 in western Samaria and Benjamin, and the rest concentrated largely in northern Samaria) will enjoy civil autonomy only, in the built-up area of their villages, on only 3% of Judea and Samaria." To see behind the treachery encapsulated in this plan, click HERE to view a map that graphically highlights some of the bantustans created by the Oslo Agreement and manifestly demonstrates the Zionists' unremitting concentration on their unsubstantiated Biblical claim to Palestine and all (97 percent) of Judea and Samaria.³⁷ No wonder the democratically elected President Yasir Arafat and the Palestinian Authority have rejected this agreement! This also informs us on why the Palestinian Authority has also rejected the other one-sided agreements reached with the Israelis.
