Hi there....welcome to YahooRealEstate.com.au
Most people in the world have no idea what life in Gaza is like. I have
been here for a month now. I came here with a group of Europeans and Americans.
One of the first things that I noticed is that there are no foreigners.
Besides my group, I have seen only a handful of them. Most people here
believe that the world does not care about them. It's easy to see why.
The world is not here.
It's striking how different Gaza is from the stories I have heard about
it. In America we hear stories of a barren and backward land -- a desert
wilderness. We hear that Israel gave it life – that the settlers are pioneers,
creating a new nation out of nothing. But here I am. Who are all the people
who surround me? The one English word that every Palestinian knows is "welcome".
The people here have welcomed me into their homes, overwhelmed me with
generosity and kindness. Am I to believe they don't exist? When I see the
distant red tile rooftops of the settlements, when I see the soldiers and
tanks, when I hear the helicopters and fighter jets and machine guns sent
to protect the settlers I wonder. Do the settlers really believe they are
living in an unpopulated wilderness? Why do they think the army surrounds
and outnumbers them? What do they think of the people that live here --
the people they can see with their own eyes? Do they even believe they
are people at all?
There are many people here. The most densely populated place on earth,
more crowded than Singapore or Hong Kong or even Manhattan, Gaza is a massive
city of people that don't exist. When the settlers tell stories of how
they are making the desert bloom in Gaza, they are speaking in code. By
desert, they mean the most crowded city on earth, along with several small
farms. By bloom they mean die.
The land here is very good for farming if you can water it. Typically, an extended family owns a small plot on which they live and grow everything imaginable. The water comes from underground. If the farmers are lucky, the nearby settlements will not steal their water from beneath their feet. Throughout all the fields and orchards lies a carefully laid network of irrigation lines. One of the most visible differences between these farms and the big industrial food-factories of America is the nearly complete lack of any machinery. A few of the hard jobs can be carried out by donkeys, but almost everything is done by hand.
The people here have utilized nearly every inch of their precious land to produce life. But it's not possible to travel far without seeing barren plots of dust and rubble. Whenever I encounter one of these, I ask my companions what it is. The answer is always the same. "The Israelis demolished some houses here." "The Israelis bulldozed this grove of orange trees." "The Israelis bombed this police station." "The Israelis destroyed this factory." These are the answers for the small places of destruction. And then there are many barren places I can see from far away. Any large patch of desert here is the unmistakable sign of a settlement.An American In Gaza continued Part 2
There is a small Bedouin village in the north of Gaza. It looks much like the shanty-towns that sprang up in America during the depression. Most of the village is a ring of shacks around a small lake. The people here are desperately poor. Most of them make their living herding goats, sheep and cattle. One of the reasons the people here are so poor is that the nearby settlement decided to annex most of the land that these people used to use to feed their animals. If an animal wanders into the desert surrounding the settlement the villagers have little hope of recovering it. The soldiers shoot at anyone entering this area. Five people have been killed for entering this area.
But this is perhaps the least of the villagers problems. The people
living around the lake are ill because there is no money to connect the
village to the sewage treatment system. Even if there were money,
the settlers wouldn't allow these people to build anything so complex so
near a settlement. They are also confined to their homes every night after
5:00 pm. Anyone seen walking the streets in the evening will be shot. And
the soldiers can see everything from a tower in the settlement overlooking
the village.
A few days after my visit to the north, I visited the middle and the
south part of Gaza. Although Gaza is an incredibly small piece of land,
it has been made even smaller for the people living here. First, nearly
half of Gaza is off-limits to Palestinians. 42% of the land is either Jewish-only
settlements, Jewish-only access roads to the settlements, buffer zones
around the settlements, buffer zones along the border with Israel, buffer
zones along the border with Egypt, and anything else the Israelis have
determined to be of strategic importance. Not only do the people of Gaza
have access to only 58% of their land. Their land is also divided into
3 parts, making travel within Gaza extremely inconvenient, if not impossible.
House demolitions are an occurrence we sometimes hear about in the news.
Usually the Israelis claim that the demolished homes are somehow connected
to the insecurity of settlers, and therefore must be destroyed. In America,
we think of a house as a single family dwelling, inhabited by a handful
of people. The typical American house is financed and insured against damage.
People in Palestine, on the other hand, live in large extended families.
A typical Palestinian house is more like an apartment building, several
flats occupied by different members of the same family. They are often
four or five stories high. The roof is unfinished so the home can be expanded
upwards as the family grows. Because of Islamic prohibitions on borrowing
money and charging interest, nearly all of these homes are paid for in
cash that a family has spent a lifetime saving.
I met several people whose homes near a settlement had been destroyed recently. They are all living in tents on a vacant lot a few hundred meters from where their homes once stood. When I visited them, the heat was almost unbearable. They had no running water, no electricity. There were a few mats on the ground that did very little to keep the dust off of everything. The tents were full of holes, and did nothing to keep out the flies. All around were goats and chickens. Most people said they could not sleep at night because they had no way to keep out the mosquitoes. There was one toilet for all of the families living here. It wasn't so much a toilet as a small hole in the ground surrounded by a tent. The people here were all very depressed. They have no money to rebuild their homes. Most of them have no way of even earning money. And none of them believed anyone in the world was willing or able to do anything for them. I asked several of them if there was anything they wanted to tell people in America. They asked me what good it would do. The press had already been there and nothing had happened. In spite of their desperation, these people sensed that I was suffering from the heat and offered me a cold glass of cola and fresh oranges.
And just a few hundred meters away were the rest of the homes that had been spared. The soldiers came one day and told everyone that they would demolish 17 homes. This was collective punishment for a bomb that had been placed in a nearby road. The soldiers did not present any evidence that the bomb had any connection with the houses. The people living in the houses say that the soldiers know there is no connection. As in many places in Gaza, these people are not allowed outside of their homes after dark. The soldiers shoot at anyone moving. The soldiers have technology to see people in the dark. The residents of the area say that whoever planted the bomb was from somewhere else, that the operation would have been too sophisticated for any of them. Only 11 of the 17 houses were demolished because the people here appealed to the Israeli high court, forcing further demolitions to be suspended for now. But no one seemed confident that their homes would be standing for long. Even if their homes remain intact, their walls are no defense against the regular shelling by the soldiers.Want to achieve national or regional press coverage for your product or brand?

I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from these experiences. Life is very bad here. It seems that the daily hardship and humiliation these people suffer at the hands of the Israelis can only lead to hopelessness. And people with nothing to lose are much more likely to take drastic measures than people who feel secure. I have met many people here who condemn the operations against Israel. Everyone I've met here says they want peace, that all they want is the right to live freely in their own land, that 60 years ago Jews, Christians, and Muslims all lived here together peacefully. Everyone I've met has told me that they believe this land is for all the people of the world to share. People here ask me what else they can do when everything they have tried has failed. I don't know what to tell them. The situation seems hopeless.
The ten agorot coin is the smallest value coin in circulation in Palestine and Israel. When I first saw this coin, before anyone told me what it was, I thought the image engraved on the back was a map with a menorah superimposed over it. Many Palestinians believe that this image is a map of the biblical land of Israel, a map of all the land from the Euphrates to the Nile, two-thirds of Iraq, all of Jordan, most of Lebanon, all of the Sinai Peninsula, and of course all of the West Bank and Gaza. Every Palestinian I have asked about the image has told me this. Yasser Arafat always used to carry these coins with him as evidence of Israel's expansion plans. The designer of the coin claims that this is not a map at all, that it is simply the outline of an ancient Judean coin, the smooth edges of which had worn away centuries ago. Any resemblance to a map, we are told, is purely coincidental. Even if the designer did not intend for this image to be interpreted as a map, it seems strange to me that no one bothered to see if Palestinians would find the image on the coin offensive before putting it into circulation. But it's not so strange really. Even if this coin isn't proof of Zionist expansion plans, it is definitely evidence of the State of Israel's insensitivity to the needs of Palestinians. Only a year ago the five agorot coin was taken out of circulation because the Israeli currency is declining so rapidly. Two years ago, the New Israeli Sheqel was worth about 33 cents. Today, it is worth just a little over 20 cents, a decline of over 30%. There are 100 Agorot in a sheqel. So this coin that has generated so much controversy is worth only about two cents today. About the only thing it can buy is a small piece of candy for a child. In fact, children are the only people I have ever seen spending one of these coins. When I arrived here a month ago, the exchange rate was 4.7 sheqels to the US Dollar. Now it is 4.9. Soon the ten agorot coin will be as worthless as its predecessors and will be taken out of circulation as well. If only the ideas it represents to so many people would lose currency as easily.

Not all Zionist warriors had quite so vast a conquest
in mind as Egypt to Iraq. This is the "map" the Irgun, headed by later Prime
Minister Menachem
Begin, saw as
representing the territory they were to seize from the Arab inhabitants.
Begin took part in "terror" activities such as the bombing of the King David
Hotel and massacres of Arab villagers. Albert Einstein and other Jews
who opposed viciousness condemned the behavior of Begin and others like
him. Christian Fundamentalist preacher Jerry Falwell also became a
great buddy to Begin and continues to promote other Zionists today who call
for "ethnic cleansing" of the West Bank which Falwell refers to as Judea
and Samaria.

A qualifying comment we must make here is that in some of Lilienthal's writings — although he thoroughly exposes the Zionist plan to take a huge chunk of land in the Mid-East — he has promulgated the hoax of the Holocaust. He MUST know that the holocaust IS a hoax. My question, then, is "why does he so meticulously document the plans for Greater Israel?"
Maybe it's to take our eyes off the ultimate Zionist goal for World Dominion. The 'greater Israel' is just a jumping off point for them. It keeps our eyes on that small piece of land (small in relation to the whole globe) and meanwhile, the priesthood (and their useful idiots) are busy gobbling up ALL natural resources in ALL countries, and mind-controlling the masses to submit with pleasure.
If we didn't, we should, notice that they already control the governments of most nations today. After all, it is the U.S. government and American soldiers who are doing most of the dirty work for them, isn't it? Killing and dying in defense of the World Order. . . their World Order.
Remember the motto we've seen on billboards and other places since the UN's Habitat II forum: THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL. It's all being done at the local and state levels of government, and today our eyes are REALLY off the ball, aren't they?
As for "anti-Zionist Jews", it all comes back to this: They are born to believe they are the chosen of their god to inherit the world. Until they reject their false-religion -- Talmudism -- and the Talmudic writings per se, including the Torah (Old Testament for the 'Christians'), they will continue to obey their rabbis. Whatever . . .
Each thought I have leads to another and begins a book all over again. What's the difference between a 'Jew' and a 'Judeo-Christian' or a 'Christian Zionist'. -- Jackie --
Alfred LilienthalThe U.S. led war on Iraq... and eventually many other Muslim nations may be part of an Israeli plan to let others die for the goal of its expansion into Greater Israel. Extremist Zionist sympathizers in Bush's administration are the perpetrators of this scheme to have American military men and women die for Israel. See the arguments below for this claim.
Are Arabs and other Muslims really "crazy"
to believe that the War on Iraq may be part of
an Israeli and American "Zionist" plot to
dominate the entire Middle East?
KING SAUD INTERVIEW BY
LILIENTHAL
ON ARAB-AMERICAN RELATIONS
AND ZIONISM The Federal Herald October 1954
From middle column of second page below:
Mr. Lilienthal: …Your Majesty a few months ago… said that the Arabs do not care if they sacrifice a few million persons in order to put an end to the Zionists in Palestine.
His Majesty then said: Frankly what I said is what I urge and preach. It is the only answer to what has been published by the responsible persons of Israel about the necessity that Israel should expand to comprise the beds of the Tigris and Euphrates, the Sinai Peninsula and the northern part of Saudi Arabia, including Medina, which is one of the two Holy Towns and the Burial place of the Moslems’ Prophet, and which is after all my own land and the land of every Arab and Moslem. We have learned of this Zionist ambition from the statements of Israeli leaders and its creators who pleaded the course yesterday, and are still pleading it today. They are making no secret of this scheme, and they have made its study part of the school curriculum in Israel, where they cram the students’ heads with these fanciful schemes. There is no answer to what they are after except this antidote, and the preparation of what we can in field of might and force.

interview

This 1954 quote from King Saud provides an important
insight that Americans and other Westerners rarely hear about as to
why the Arabs, in the early days of Israel in the late 1940s and early 1950s,
made fierce statements about the need for "driving the Jews back into the
sea."
Fifty years later, another (very infamous) Arab professes the same view
that Israel intends to rule all the territory from the Nile to the
Euphrates.
Do Americans realize that many Arab-Muslims believe they are defending their
own lands and existence -- and not just that of the Palestinian Arabs?
Would we see it as only mindless Bin Laden style "terror" -- if there
was any basis for their claim to need to defend themselves against American
and Israeli plans to conquer the entire Middle East and subdue all
Muslims?

This is the answer to the question everyone has been asking:
WHY DO THEY HATE US?
Bin Laden is wicked and wrong just as the deception and
brutality of Ariel Sharon is inexcusable. Both count as vicious
terrorists. Yet American leaders make Bin Laden's case look valid --
that the U.S. is out to fight for Israel's right to expand and rule the entire
Middle East. What is really going on behind the scenes?
Question: What did the assumed Bin Laden tape recordings accuse?
Answer: U.S. military attacks prompted by Israel against many
Muslim nations.

Subject: Coincidence? Parts of Bush speech match Sharansky
proposal
Washington Post
July 2, 2002
A Sound Bite So Good, the President Wishes He Had Said It
By Dana Milbank
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11253-2002Jul1.html
[excerpt of article follows]
Is Natan Sharansky working in the White House speechwriting office?
Sharansky, Israel's
housing minister and deputy prime minister, is the former Soviet dissident
and head of a right-wing Russian-immigrant
party.
But by
coincidence -- or something more -- the Israeli-Palestinian peace plan Sharansky
published in the Jerusalem Post on May 3 sounds a lot like the peace proposal
Bush delivered in the Rose Garden on June 24.
"The time has come for new leadership" for the Palestinians, Sharansky wrote.
"The Palestinians must be encouraged to form an open and free society that
is not burdened by the fear, hatred, and terror that have been sown in recent
years by Arafat and his leadership."
Here's Bush's version: "Peace requires a new and different Palestinian leadership
so that a Palestinian state can be born. I call on the Palestinian people
to elect new leaders, leaders not compromised by terror."
Sharansky wrote that his seven-point plan "cannot happen overnight" and called
for a "three-year transition period."
Bush, in turn, said a final agreement "could be reached within three years
from now."
Sharansky envisioned an "international coordinating body" headed by the United
States that could, with a Palestinian Administrative Authority, "develop
the infrastructure for democratic life among the Palestinians." There would
also be an "international economic fund" for industry and infrastructure.
And Bush? "I've asked Secretary Powell to work intensively with Middle Eastern
and international leaders to realize the vision of a Palestinian state, focusing
them on a comprehensive plan to support Palestinian reform and institution
building." The president said the United States would work with the World
Bank and international donors on "a major project of economic reform and
development."
Finally, Sharansky argued that only a "free and open" society "can serve
as a solid guarantee for normal relations between the two peoples." For this
reason, "we owe it to ourselves and to our future to help the Palestinians
help themselves."
Bush, seven weeks later, submitted that "a stable, peaceful Palestinian state
is necessary to achieve the security that Israel longs for." Israel should
"take concrete steps to support the emergence of a viable, credible Palestinian
state," he added.
The Sharansky
and Bush plans are not entirely the same;
notably absent
from Sharansky's version was Bush's call for Israel to freeze its settlements
in Palestinian territory.
Still, Sharansky
themes began to tumble from the lips of Bush officials.
Speechwriting director Michael Gerson did not return a phone call asking
about the coincidence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following article shows how Sharansky's influence came to Bush through
Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, and other Zionist sympathizers (these can be either
Christian fundamentalists or Jewish dual loyalists) in the Bush
administration. Sharansky speaks in public about "democracy" but actually
is a leader of right-wing elements in Israel that believe in the ethnic
superiority of Jews and eventual take-over of all Palestinian territory through
expansion of Zionist settlements and eventual transfer out of all non-Jewish
residents from the West Bank and Gaza.

Sharansky’s Quiet Role
What pushed Bush to
demand that Arafat must go? Part of the answer lies on a forest path in
Colorado
By Dan Ephron and Tamara Lipper
Natan Sharansky, one time Soviet dissident and now an Israeli cabinet minister,
had been hammering at the same themes for years in lectures and private meetings
with U.S. officials: peace would never be possible without democracy. Suddenly
something clicked at a conference of conservative heavyweights in Beaver
Creek, Colo., last month.
VICE PRESIDENT DICK
Cheney
was there, taking notes. So was
Paul
Wolfowitz, the
deputy Defense secretary.
The two Americans had
been working with others on a major Middle East policy speech for the
president, and
though they had both met Sharansky many times before, his address struck
a chord. Dump the region’s dictators, and make democracy a precondition
for peace. “It was pretty much the talk of the conference,” says
Richard
Perle,
an influential Pentagon
adviser who helped bring Sharansky to the
forum. Two days later President George
W. Bush announced the United States was fed up with the Palestinian leadership
and effectively ended the era of American engagement with
Arafat.
Score
one for Sharansky and his crusade to alter the course of American
diplomacy. Bush’s speech, possibly the most significant Middle East
policy announcement by the United States in a decade, was hardly his doing
alone. Arafat fatigue in the Bush administration had been on the rise at
least since January, when U.S. officials believe the Palestinian leader lied
to Bush about an arms shipment from Iran. Israeli intelligence kept up a
steady stream of information linking Arafat to the financing of suicide attacks.
By the time Cheney and other delegates arrived at the June 20 conference,
Bush advisers had been working on the address for weeks and written nearly
30 drafts, according to one official. Sharansky may have strengthened the
resolve of officials who argued against wording that would keep lines open
to Arafat. The decision to drop the Palestinian leader was made shortly
before Bush spoke out.
“Sharansky provided an important bit of
last-minute affirmation,” says
Perle.
Palestinians object that Arafat is no dictator. He was elected in a 1996
ballot deemed free and fair by observers. And though his regime has jailed
political opponents and trampled free speech, Israelis have hardly done better.
Palestinians never had full civil rights during decades of Israeli rule.
Sharansky
is hoping he had a hand in reshaping U.S. policy. At the conference, he says,
he spoke privately with
Cheney for more than
an hour Saturday, two days before the Bush announcement. “More than
half our talk was devoted to what would be said in the speech,” he
says. Later
Saturday, Sharansky and
Wolfowitz were due at a dinner reception,
but
as
an observant Jew, Sharansky said he couldn’t drive on the Sabbath. Instead,
he and
Wolfowitz
trudged through a forest on foot to get to the dinner, their bodyguards
in tow.
“It
gave us a chance to talk about everything—Arafat, international terrorism,
Iraq and Iran and, of course, Jewish history, our roots and so
on,”
Sharansky
says.
That coziness reflects
a
meeting of minds between Sharansky and Bush’s chief
ideologues. Sharansky
reads the Bush speech as a broader policy statement about dictators everywhere
and
says the United States
should withdraw support not only for Arafat but for regimes like the one
in Saudi
Arabia. That might be going
too far for Washington, where officials say Bush had mainly Palestinians
and Israelis in mind.
But
as far as the Israelis are concerned, it’s a big step in the right
direction.

Israel's great dissembler

We have chosen to profile Anatoly Sharansky, the Israeli deputy prime minister and leader of Yisra'el Ba'aliyah, the Russian immigrants' party in Israel, because he encapsulates the paradox of the Jewish inhabitants of Israel, a paradox that is the hallmark of Zionists throughout the world. That is, how can a people that has suffered so much over the ages, from pogroms in Europe to Nazi genocide, emulate their historical oppressors and be so lacking in empathy with their victims, the Palestinian Arabs? (We salute the tiny minority of Jews in Israel and elsewhere who have risked opprobrium by consistently speaking out for Palestinian rights.) Anatoly Sharansky (we shall call him by his birth name, Anatoly, rather than Natan, the name given to him by the Israeli ambassador to West Germany upon his release from prison) was born in Ukraine and educated in Russia as a mathematician. In 1973 he applied for an exit visa to Israel, but, like all Soviet citizens who had worked in the military-industrial complex, he was refused on security grounds. He then became involved in an Israeli-sponsored worldwide campaign to put pressure on the Kremlin to give special treatment to Soviet Jewish citizens by allowing them to emigrate to Israel, irrespective of whether or not they had worked in the defence sector. In 1977 he was arrested on suspicion of spying for the US, and in the following year he was found guilty as charged and sentenced to 13 years imprisonment. He was released in 1986 in a US-Soviet spy exchange. Prior to his emigration to Israel, Sharansky liked to portray himself as a symbol of the struggle for human rights, and since then he has made much of his status as a former "victim of totalitarian oppression". However, his belief in human rights, nurtured at the height of the Cold War, appears to have been heavily tainted with the culture of the Soviet-American power struggle, which justified the cynical use of practically anything as ammunition in the superpower rivalry for global dominance. Unlike most of us, Sharansky apparently does not believe that human rights are universal and indivisible, that is, applicable to all human beings everywhere and irrespective of their race, colour or creed. Not only does he oppose any Israeli concessions that may eventually lead to the realization of the Palestinians' right to self determination, but he advocates policies that could only mean the dispossession of more Palestinians living in Israel, and the illegally occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. No wonder that he was one of the very few people to have amicable relations with the former ultra right-wing prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu. Sharansky began his political career in Israel by becoming head of the Zionist Forum, an organization dedicated to lobbying on behalf of Soviet immigrants. However, not content with being a mere "welfare worker", in 1995 he founded the Yisra'el Ba'aliyah party, with the immediate aim of bringing in another million Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union and of encouraging a further million Jewish citizens of the United States and the European countries to immigrate to Israel. For him, the value of peace with the Palestinians is measured solely by the extent to which it would work towards achieving the overriding goal of encouraging Jewish citizens of other states to immigrate to Israel. Thus, addressing the founding congress of Yisra'el Ba'aliyah in June 1995, he said: "Without the hope for peace, you cannot convince people to come here." That the "ingathering of the Jews", that is, the bringing into Israel and the occupied territories of millions of foreign Jews who, like Sharansky himself, had no link whatsoever to those lands, could only mean the dispossession of more Palestinians from the land of their ancestors is a fact that could hardly have escaped our human rights hero. Or perhaps, having been brought up in a society where ideology and the class struggle dictated one's view of life and where all conflicts were seen as a zero-sum game, with victors and vanquished, be they a class or a superpower, he was blinded by his own ideology, Zionism. For almost in the same breath as reiterating his commitment to the "ingathering" of millions of foreign Jews, Sharansky is perfectly at ease with publicly objecting to any hint of allowing Palestinians to take up residence in the territories administered by the Palestinian National Authority or to the right of refugees to return to those territories, even if they had families living there. Indeed, the impact of the Soviet system on Sharansky's mind appears to have gone much deeper. Thus, like the Soviet habit of remoulding the history books to suit themselves, our human rights hero insists that any Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories should be made contingent on, among other things, the Palestinians rewriting their school books "to remove all language that denies the legitimacy of Israel and Zionism". In other words, Palestinian children should be taught that their uprooting from the land of their forefathers by foreigners from the former Soviet Union, Europe and the United States was perfectly legitimate. Sharansky resigned as Israeli interior minister in former Prime Minister Ehud Barak's government over rumours that Barak was contemplating some trivial "concessions" over Jerusalem, territory and the refugees at the Camp David talks with Palestinian leaders in July 2000. But, judging by the unpopularity among Israelis of making any concessions to the people they had uprooted, and given his solid support among the Russian immigrants, Sharansky must now have his vision firmly fixed on the position of Israeli prime minister. In the meantime, it would do him well to learn from the history of his Slav cousins in the Balkans. For while the Zionists have the dubious honour of being the twentieth century's first ethnic cleansers, Sharansky's kith and kin in the Balkans (let us not forget that our human rights hero is a Russian, albeit of the Jewish religion), have taken that tradition to its logical conclusion, with tragic consequences for themselves and their victims. His blind ambition aside, Sharansky has a responsibility to his compatriots and co-religionists in Israel because, as in the Balkans, the burden of history weighs heavily on the shoulders of the indigenous people of Palestine whose continuing misfortunes are unlikely to let them forget the architects of their plight. As a Russian, Sharansky should know more than anyone else that great powers, even nuclear ones, come and go and that the fall can be sudden and cruel. But, with his contradictions and double standards, our human rights hero is unlikely to learn anything. Rather, when the time comes to write his obituary Anatoly Sharansky will most probably be remembered as Israel's great Russian dissembler, with his years as a so-called "human rights campaigner" not warranting even a footnote.
NOTE: This is the man behind the nonsense of Bush's promotion campaign for "democracy" in the Arab world. Is it little wonder that "the Arab street" and some Arab leaders suspect that the real goal is the expansion of Greater Israel?
Greater Israel
(the grander view)
The Israel of Theodore Herzl (1904)
and of Rabbi Fischmann (1947)
In his Complete Diaries, Vol. II. p. 711, Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, says that the area of the Jewish State stretches: "From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates."
Rabbi Fischmann, member of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared in his testimony to the U.N. Special Committee of Enquiry on 9 July 1947: "The Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon."NOTE: Sometimes the term Nile to the Euphrates is used, whereas the Brook of Egypt may be another lesser waterway about 100 miles East of the Nile. Either way, it adds up to the confiscation of a huge amount of Arab territory.

NOTE: American Neo-Conservatives run the American Enterprise Institute where
President George Bush gave his February 26, 2003 "War on Iraq" speech with
all its lying nonsense about how the goal is liberation of the Iraqi people
and democracy in the Middle East. He clearly stated how proud he is
that 20 members of this Zionist dominated "think tank" are part of his
administration's top planners.

Here is an example of an ultra-Zionist who preached and
practiced this doctrine that King Saud opposed. Just in case we think
such ideas are no longer honored by extremists in Israel, this biography
is from a Zionist website that honors
Avraham
Stern -- a well-known killer whose "Stern Gang"
perpetrated massacres and assassinations during the period leading up to
the creation of the State of Israel. Many Arab leaders knew exactly
what plans for bloody conquest of their own homelands Zionist fanatics like
this intended.
The new coalition government that Sharon recently established contains many
open advocates of the "ethnic cleansing" (so-called transfer) of all Palestinians
from the West Bank and Gaza. What would the world say if Bush made
a coalition government in the U.S. with the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis who
would fiercely advocate the deportation of all non-whites from American soil?
The ultra-Zionists in the Israeli government right now consider these racist
murderers below to be heros.
Also, the settlements Sharon originally encouraged many years ago and Sharansky has more recently promoted are mostly populated by vicious fanatics who believe in the Greater Israel scheme and are prepared to annihilate Palestinians and other Arabs to bring it about. These too are their great heros.
AVRAHAM (YAIR) STERN:
THE IDEOLOGY OF THE LEHI
National Revival Principles
(HaTechiya)
The Fighters for the Freedom of Israel (FFI) - The LEHI
by Avraham (Yair) Stern, zt"l
1. THE NATION
The Jewish people is a covenanted
people, the originator of monotheism, formulator of the prophetic teachings,
standard bearer of human culture, guardian of glorious patrimony. The Jewish
people is schooled in self-sacrifice and suffering; its vision, survivability
and faith in redemption are indestructible.
2. THE HOMELAND
The homeland in
the Land of Israel within the borders delineated in the Bible ("To your
descendants, I shall give this land, from the River of Egypt to the great
Euphrates River." Genesis 15:18) This is the land of the living, where
the entire nation shall live in safety.
3. THE NATION AND ITS
LAND
Israel conquered the land with the sword. There
it became a great nation and only there it will be reborn.
Hence Israel alone has a right to that land. This
is am absolute right. It has never expired and never will.
4. THE GOALS
1. Redemption of the land.
2. Establishment of sovereignty.
3. Revival of the nation.
There is no sovereignty without the redemption
of the land, and there is no national revival without sovereignty.
These are the goals of the
organization during the period of war and conquest:
5. EDUCATION
Educate the nation to love freedom and zealously
guard Israel's eternal patrimony. Inculcate the idea that the nation is master
to its own fate. Revive the doctrine that "The sword and the book came bound
together from heaven" (Midrash Vayikra Rabba 35:8)
6. UNITY
The unification of the entire nation around the
banner of the Hebrew freedom movement. The use of the genius, status and
resources of individuals and the channeling of the energy, devotion and
revolutionary fervor of the masses for the war of liberation.
7. PACTS
Make pacts with all those who are willing to help
the struggle of the organization and provide direct support.
8. FORCE
Consolidate and increase the fighting
force in the homeland and in the Diaspora, in the underground and in the
barracks, to become the Hebrew army of liberation with its flag, arms, and
commanders.
9. WAR
Constant war against those who
stand in the way of fulfilling the goals.
10. CONQUEST
The conquest of the homeland
from foreign rule and its eternal possession.
These are the tasks of the movement during the period of sovereignty and
redemption:
11. SOVEREIGNTY
Renewal of Hebrew sovereignty over the redeemed
land.
12. RULE OF JUSTICE
The establishment of a social order in the spirit
of Jewish morality and prophetic justice. Under such an order no one will
go hungry or unemployed. All will live in harmony, mutual respect and friendship
as an example to the world.
13. REVIVING THE WILDERNESS
Build the ruins and revive the wilderness for
mass immigration and population increase.
14. ALIENS
Solve the problem of alien population
by exchange of population.
15. INGATHERING OF THE EXILES
Total in-gathering of the
exiles to their sovereign state.
16. POWER
The Hebrew nation shall become a first-rate military,
political, cultural and economical entity in the Middle East and around the
Mediterranean Sea.
17. REVIVAL
The revival of the Hebrew language as a spoken
language by the entire nation, the renewal of the historical and spiritual
might of Israel. The purification of the national character in the fire of
revival.
18. THE TEMPLE
The building of the Third Temple
as a symbol of the new era of total redemption.
Anthem of the Fighters for the Freedom
of Israel (LEHI)
by Yair (Avraham) Stern,
zt"l
We are unknown soldiers,
uniforms we have none,
In death's shadow we march, in
its terror,
Volunteering to sever to
the end of our days,
Only death from our duty
can us sever.
In days red with slaughter,
destruction and blood,
Nights black with pain and
despair,
Over village and town our
flag we'll unfurl,
Love and freedom the message
'twill bear.
Not like slaves brought
to heel were we dragged to the fight,
In strange lands our life's
blood to squander,
And if we must die our people
to free,
We are willing our lives
to surrender.
In days red with
slaughter...
With obstacles rising to
block every move,
By fate cruelly sent to
entrap us,
Neither enemy, prison or
miserable spy
Will we ever permit to divert
us.
In days red with
slaughter...
Should we happen to fall in some
building or street,
To be furtively buried by
night,
Many thousands of others
will rise in our stead
To defend and continue the
fight.
In days red with
slaughter...
With the tears of mothers
bereaved of their young,
Sacred infant's blood want
only spilt,
We'll cement the bricks
of our bodies for walls
And our homeland will surely
be built
In days red with slaughter,
destruction and blood,
Nights black with pain and
despair,
Over village and town our
flag we'll unfurl
Love and freedom the message 'twill
bear.
Your
Rabbis taught: A land is bought with money
You buy the land and work it with a hoe.
And I say: A land is not bought with money
And with a hoe you also dig and bury the dead.
And I say: A land is conquered with blood.
And only when conquered with blood is hallowed to the people
With the holiness of the blood.
And only one who follows after the cannon in the field,
Thus wins the right to follow after his good plow
On this, the field that was conquered.
And only such a field gives nourishing and healthy bread
And the house which arises on its hill is truly a fortress and a temple,
Because in this field there is honorable blood.
Your Rabbis taught: The messiah will come in future
generations:
And Judea will arise without fire and without blood.
It will arise with every tree, with every additional
house.
And I say: If your generation will be slow
And will not grasp in its hands and forcibly mold its future
And in fire will not come with the Shield of David
And in blood will not come with its horses saddled -
The Messiah will not come even in a far off generation.
Judea will not arise.
And you will be living slaves to every foreign ruler.
Your houses will be straw for the sparks of every wicked one.
And your trees will be cut down with their ripe fruit.
And a man will react the same as a babe
To the sword of the enemy -
And only your ramblings will remain - yours...
And your statue, an eternal curse.
Your Rabbis taught: There is one truth for the
nations:
Blood for blood - but it is not a truth for Jews.
And I say: There is one truth and not two.
As there is one sun and as there are not two Jerusalems.
It was written in the Law of Conquest of Moses and Joshua
Until the last of my kings and my traitors have consumed.
And there
will be a day when from the river of Egypt until the
Euphrates
And from the sea until the mountain passes of Moav
my boys will go up
And they will call my enemies and my haters
to the last battle.
And the blood will
decide:
B’tzedek Volume
1, Number 2Summer/Fall 1997/ 5757 by Arno Hakohen Weinstein
DURING THE early days
of Israel's formation as an independent nation, there were those who saw
the Jewish quest of two thousand years as a diplomatic struggle, and there
were those for whom it meant war.
It may be that history has yet
to judge the more critical of the two, for each position developed followers
that continue to struggle with each other, as they did from the earliest
years of the Zionist mission.
Those elements within the nascent
Jewish State that relied on the violent removal of foreign powers from Mandate
Palestine included the Fighters for Freedom of Israel (LEHI). The organization
was founded by Avraham Stern and sought the liberation of Eretz
Israeland the establishment of an autonomous Jewish polity.
This is the story of one intelligence
officer of the LEHI. His name is Stanley Goldfoot. South African by birth,
Mr. Goldfoot today resides in Jerusalem, and remains ever vigilant of Israel's
future. The editors of B’tzedek were granted an interview with Mr. Goldfoot
in an attempt to better understand one of the more dramatic events in the
history of the LEHI and the nation of Israel. That event was the execution
of United Nations' mediator Count Folke Bernadotte in the fall of
1948...
To read the entire "glorious" confession of how Bernadotte
was assassinated, just go to the Zionist site that honors Goldfoot's
crime:
http://www.saveisrael.com/articles/interestshadow.htm
To see how Jerry Falwell also honors this terrorist and assassin, read the
selection below and then the entire article by Grace Halsell, an American
journalist and former White House speech writer during the Johnson
administration.
Christian Fundamentalist And Jewish Orthodox
Cults Plots Destruction Of Al Aqsa Mosque
For three decades, Gershon Solomon, a militant Israeli who heads an organization dedicated to the destruction of Jerusalem's most holy Islamic shrine, has led Zionist zealots in armed assaults on the Muslim grounds of Haram al-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, that encloses both the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa mosque. No Israeli political leader has spoken out against the assaults on the Mosque, holy to a billion Muslims around the world. Moreover, no Israeli rabbi has condemned them. Indeed, beginning in 1967, many of the assaults were led by Jewish rabbis.
I
first heard about the Israeli militants' intent to destroy the mosque in
1979 when I went to Jerusalem. I talked at length with Bobby Brown, a
third-generation American from Brooklyn, flying to the Jewish state and instantly
became a new citizen, confiscated land from Palestinians to help build an
illegal Jewish settlement. "The mosque," he told me, "has got to go.
It is a blot in our land."
Militant Jews such as Brown and Solomon want a Jerusalem that
is pure Jewish - without evidence of inhabitants of the other monotheistic
faiths and their shrines. Surprisingly, millions of U.S. evangelical Christians
endorse and financially support this Jewish plan. Although united in the
immediate goal of destroying the mosque, the Israeli militants and Christian
zealots have different long-range agendas.
Secular
Jews, such as Stanley Goldfoot, one of the perpetrators of the dynamiting
in 1946 of the King David Hotel which killed some 100 Christian, Muslim and
Jewish civilians, want the mosque destroyed for political reasons. Other
Jews believe that the building of the temple on the Muslim grounds will usher
in the Jewish Messiah. A growing number of Christians embrace the idea that
in all history, Israel is on the center stage. They say God has planned epochs
of time ("dispensations") such as the "in-gathering of the Jews in the ancient
land of Canaan. One epoch, they say, includes the present time when Jews
are obligated to build a Jewish temple and re-institute animal sacrifice,
Such epochs or "dispensations" are necessary, they say before Christ can
return.
Ironically,
while Christian dispensationalists place Israel as the most important nation
in all the world, they do not respect or even like Jews- as Jews. Yet, because
they believe Christ can only land in a "safe" area near Jerusalem, they make
a cult of the land. They thus give total, unquestioned support to
Israel.
Goldfoot
and Solomon are welcome in countless U.S. pulpits, where Christian Zionists
give generous donations of money, as well as their gold wedding rings and
gold earrings to finance the mosque's destruction. They know its destruction
might well trigger wars culminating in Armageddon, but they welcome this.
They push Armageddon along, saying they, as "Born Again Christians," will
be spared any suffering, because they will be "Raptured," wafted up into
heaven to view the slaughter below.
"I am not
worried," Lynchburg, Virginia televangelist Jerry Falwell shouts. "You know
why? I ain't gonna be here!" This dispensationalist doctrine, less then 200
years old, pervades Assemblies Of God, Pentecostal and other charismatic
churches, as well as the 16 million-member Southern Baptist Convention and
countless so-called Bible churches and mega-churches.
It's estimated that at least one out of every 10 Americans is
a devotee of this cult. In both Israel and the U.S., a conspiracy of silence
reigns as militants lay siege to the Jerusalem mosque. No political leader
- or religious leader- in Israel or the U.S. has addressed this issue. In
the case of Israeli rabbis, if they themselves have not aided and abetted
planned assaults on the mosque, they have kept silent. In the case of all
major U.S. Christian church leaders - the voices that are heard throughout
the land- if they themselves are not raising money to destroy the mosque,
they keep silent about the conspiracy...

Forcing God's
Hand: Why Millions Pray for
a Quick Rapture-- And Destruction of Planet Earth
Does God want--even demand--that
those of us living today destroy Planet Earth?
Jim Jones led his followers to death telling them the end is near, so let's
get on with it. Today, most TV evangelists say the same. David Koresh of
the "Branch Davidians" and leaders of "Heaven's Gate" led followers to death
declaring the world was doomed to imminent destruction.
The danger to America, however, lies not so much in the so-called "crazies"
as with mainstream Christians who have embraced a theology less than 200
years old. It gives them a free Rapture ticket. While they are certain there
will be a great Tribulation--of wars ending in a final war--they are brainwashed
to believe they won't suffer a moment of agony. As Jerry Falwell puts it,
"I'm not worried. You know why? I ain't gonna be here."
These cult members look like your average next-door neighbors. They attend
a variety of Protestant churches, including those known as charismatic. They
are rife among the 16-million-member Southern Baptist Convention. They also
are members of so-called Bible churches and mega-churches, such as those
attended by Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr in McLean, Virginia, and Congressman
Tom DeLay in Sugarland, a suburb of Houston.
One of every ten Americans is a member of this cult. By praying for their
Rapture and the End of Time, might they force the hand of God--to bring it
about?
Forcing God's Hand was Grace Halsell's
last book. Her death occurred in 2000, less than a year after its publication
and shortly before now Israel Prime Minister Sharon intently provokes a crisis
and new "Intifada" by going to the "Temple Mount" with
soldiers.
We will soon have a Memorial page for humanitarian Grace Halsell at this website with many photos and articles.

Does this image make it clear enough that what the Arabs and other Muslims have claimed, about schemes for Israeli expansionism, is actually
a valid concern and not baseless craziness?
These other "Greater Israel" images are at anti-Zionist sites that make the accusation of Israeli conquest plans.

Israel Plans Britzkrieg
to Capture Arab Oil Fields
Operation Shekhinah -- February 2002
by Joe Vialls
If there is any validity to Mr. Vialls claim -- it would appear that ultra-Zionist sympathizers in Bush's administration have now seen to it that American men and women military persons will be the ones to fight and die for Israel's need for oil and expansion plans into Greater Israel.
Is there any independent confirmation of King Saud's and Bin Laden's claim (if the reported tape is actually from him) of this grander Zionist scheme for taking over the entire Middle East as Greater Israel? Note that Saud claimed this was being taught in Israeli schools back in 1954.
An Honorable American Witness
1974 -- now deceased Edwin Wright was born in Iran of missionary parents and knew the area well. He also studied Hebrew, and when assigned to the Near East issues at the U.S. State Department during the Truman years, he went to Palestine to find out for himself what was really going on. Here are some of his findings as given in his "Oral History" interview for the Truman Library.
This period is very important for what I have to say about serving under President Truman, because while I was there I realized that there was going to be a war between Jews and Arabs; that was just certain. This was because of the concepts of the two societies. One has to get into the attitude of mind and the philosophy of these two societies to understand this problem. I made a special study of Zionism, and I talked with as many people as I could find who were the leaders of the Zionist community. I interviewed Golda Meir at that time; she was then labor secretary. I had conversations with Reuven Zaslani, who later was called Shiloah (all these people changed their names later on); Dov Joseph, who became the mayor of Jerusalem during the war; and Teddy Kolleck. I made a special effort to meet them, talk with them, and find out what Zionism is; what it stands for. I also found that there was a school in Tel Aviv, known as the Gymnasia Herzliya. It was the training school in which most of the modern leaders of Israel had gone; Moshe Dyan and others. I talked with a number of the teachers and professors there. I felt that this was a school dedicated to inculcating and indoctrinating [Theodor] Herzl's ideas into the minds of the young Jews in Palestine. [See: Moshe Menuhin, The Decadence of Judaism in our Times, Exposition Banner Book, 1965. He was a graduate of this school.] At that time many of Herzl's writings were not yet translated into English. In fact, they were not translated until 1952, so no one had really any easy access to this material unless he knew German or Hebrew. I don't know either one of these very well. I studied some German and some Hebrew, but I talked with the people who were the professors there and also got to know Edwin Samuel, the son of Lord Samuel who was the first High Commissioner of Palestine. With Edwin Samuel, I made trips all through the kubbutzim. We spent several days at Ein Geb, Mishmar Ha-Emek, and at various other of the kubbutzim. During this period I became convinced that Americans didn't know what Zionism was at all. The material was not in English. There was very little of it known to America, and I came to the conclusion that it was a very dangerous type of philosophy of living. What I found out was that Herzl had taught that all the Jews of the world should go to Israel. This was the idea that dominated the Yishuv (the Yishuv means the Jewish community of Palestine) and even Ben Gurion, who was at that time Secretary of the Jewish Agency. The Jewish Agency was a shadow government. It already was a government of Israel; simply waiting for the veil to be pulled and it would emerge. It had all the functions of government. I found their ideas were that all Jews should leave the Gentile world. This is in Herzl: "Gentiles hate Jews, they are going to destroy the Jewish world." It's a paranoic view of things. The only way Judaism can be saved is for the Jews to leave the Gentile world completely; to go to a Jewish state, as Herzl put it in his book. There they would rule themselves and be able to get away from the hatred of the Gentile world. The Gentiles are out to destroy Judaism. [See: Theodore Herzl, The Jewish State, N.Y., 1943. Diaries in II Volumes] I did not believe this. I think it's a false concept of society, and especially false of American society. Nevertheless, this is the foundation of Zionist thinking. The second step was that this Jewish state must be in Palestine. This is the sacred home of the people; its literature was developed there, and their attitude was that Judaism cannot survive in any other place except Palestine itself. That's where it grew and germinated, and it's got to get back there in order to save itself. Otherwise, Jews are going to assimilate in other countries. Herzl himself made the statement that, when the Jewish state is set up, if a Jew does not go to live in it he is anti-Semitic because he chooses to live with Gentiles rather than live with Jews which are his real community.
I got all these ideas through talking with people who were Zionists. The third step in Zionism was that they must have large enough a state in order to keep the whole Jewish population there. At that time there were about fourteen million Jews, and now that meant owning a very large territory. It is not brought out in Zionist propaganda in America, but what they claim is all the territory from the Suez Canal clear north to the mountains of Cappadocia, in southern Turkey. [Statement by Herzl. Also see Numbers 34; Genesis 15:18, Joshua 13, II Samuel 8:5-6.} It includes all of Lebanon, much of Syria, Jordan, and Sinai. This is the territory they call "Eretz Israel," the land of Israel, which is mentioned in the Bible.
Furthermore, in the Bible you will find the boundaries of "Eretz Israel" as given by God. There are several places these are found, Numbers, the 34th Chapter and so forth.
One of the men whom I discussed this with was Rabbi Meyer Berlin, the Chief Rabbi in the Mizrachi group. These are the ultra-orthodox group, who accept the Old Testament literally. Everything that it says is exactly just as it's described.
This means from the Nile to the Euphrates -- just as King Saud warned in 1954.
See Edwin Wright's complete interview statement:
http://www.trumanlibrary.org/oralhist/wright.htm
Truman listened to Clark Clifford and other ignorant people who never
cared to find out the facts as Ed Wright did. Truman later covered up his
own blame by calling good men in the State Department like Wright:
Arabist anti-Semites. President Truman could have known the truth and protected
the Palestinians and other Arabs if he had listened to Secretary of State
George Marshall and other advisors who told him not to sponsor and recognize
a "Jewish" state based on racial and religious discrimination toward
non-Jews. Instead, Truman foolishly listened to Zionist American schemers
like Abraham Feinberg who raised the initial money for Truman's 1948 re-election
campaign. This disgraceful conduct by an American President has been
repeated in one form or another by many American leaders since. Read
about the showdown between Clifford and Marshall at this link to see how
a half century of horror in the Middle East could have been
prevented.
Remembering General George Marshall’sClash With Clark Clifford Over Premature Recognition of Israel By Dr. Alfred M. Lilienthal June 1999
http://www.alfredlilienthal.com/marshallclifford.htm
NOTE: General and now Secretary of State Colin
Powell has called George Marshall the greatest Man of War and the greatest
Man of Peace that America has ever known. Let us hope that Powell and
others now will find the honor and courage of Marshall and to refuse to support
any of President Bush's future wars against other Mideast nations.
Will even
more innocent Americans and Arabs (beyond what is already happening in Iraq) -- as well as Jews in Israel and the U.S. who oppose extremist Zionism -- now die because we have been denied the facts for over 50 years?

ISRAEL
Introduction to IsraelBy Jackie Patru
What IS this all about? First we should attempt to determine what a Jew is, or isn't. Is a Jew a person who embraces a particular religion known as Judaism? Or, is it a Semitic person who traces his/her bloodline to the ancient tribe of Judah? Or is it both? Actually, it is neither. Their Biblical territory? The WORLD.
A Jewish Defector Warns America BENJAMIN FREEDMAN SPEAKS. In 1961, at the Willard Hotel, Mr. Freedman warned of the cabal laying plans for WWIII, and the genocide being committed by Israel on the Palestinian people figured heavily then as now. This is a repost, taken verbatim from the taped version of the speech.
The Zionist
State (Harbinger of
WWIII) By Douglas Reed
A microscopic look behind the scenes at the manipulations, threats, bribes
and murders committed in order to secure the vote by the United Nations,
mandating the 'state' of Israel as a homeland for the so-called Jews. A gruesome
picture of the bloody terror in Palestine that began simultaneously with
the UN mandate. This a MUST READ, even for those who believe they
know the facts.
Rothschild-Israeli
Connection
Baron Edmond James (Avrahim Binyamin) de
Rothschild (1845-1934) is known as the "Father of the Settlement" (Avi
ha-Yishuv). The Independence Day coin is dedicated to the memory of Rothschild
and marks the centenary of his first projects in Israel.
The Kol
Nidre
The first and most important prayer of the Talmudist (Jewish) Holiday. "All
vows , obligations, oaths, and anathemas. . . from this Day of Atonement
until the next. . . we do repent.. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven,
annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have
power over us. The vows shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be
oaths."
Purim: What's
It All About?
G.W.Bush announced 'his' decision to sack Iraq on Purim Eve, March 17th,
2003. WHY? Why Purim Eve? It was not his plan, it was the plan of his
advisors/handlers. On CNN that evening, a boxed quote told the viewers, it
was "A Time Of Our Choosing." Whose choosing? Read this about Purim
-- the Feast of Lots, and you will KNOW who chose the time for the massacre
in Iraq. "On Purim, the Jews reaffirm their allegiance to Judaism
-- and reach new spiritual heights. But then come masquerades, parodies,
and serious drinking and feasting." Celebrating the death of their named
'enemies'.
Samuel
Untermeyer's Speech
A transcript of Samuel Untermyer's speech made
on WABC, declaring a 'holy war' by the Jews against Germany, and appealing
to the masses of non-Jewish humanity to boycott German-made imports and all
merchants who have German-made items in their establishments. The entire
speech was published in the New York times on the morning following the broadcast
(August 7th, 1933) which was mentioned by Benjamin Freedman in his talk before
a group of patriots.
The
Protocols
A chapter from the Controversy of Zion, by Douglas Reed
"Uncanny knowledge, therefore, again seems to have inspired the statement,
made in 1905 or earlier: 'Ever since that time' (the French Revolution) 'we
have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another... By these
acts all States are in torture; they exhort to tranquility, are ready to
sacrifice everything for peace; but we will not give them peace until they
openly acknowledge our international Super-Government, and with
submissiveness'."
Israel: The Jewel-Box
of the World
ISRAEL - THE ARTIFICIAL 'NATION/STATE' IS THE WEALTHIEST 'NATION' IN THE
WORLD! READ: Message To Israel: May 1971: "See how this central piece
of land, that is given the preeminence over all other land by God is, 'The
Jewel Box of the World'. . . They [minerals in the dead sea] are estimated
to have a total market value of about $1700 billion [$1.7 trillion] which
is far more than the total wealth of the United States. . . This means
that the Dead Sea will be a perpetual source of wealth to the nation that
controls it."
The Cost
of "Occupied" Israel to the American
People
By Richard Curtiss
"Put another way, the nearly $14,630 every one of 5.8 million Israelis had
received from the U.S. government by October 31, 1997, cost American taxpayers
$23,241 per Israeli. That's $116,205 for every Israeli family of five."
The Finest
Senate Money Can Buy
By Uri Avenim, member of Israeli Knesset
"One thing, however, is quite clear: Israel is not the 51st state of the
United States of America, as some would like to think; rather, the US Congress
is one of the occupied areas of Israel."
Israeli
Lobby Slips Anti-Israel Speech Bill Through U.S. House of
Representatives
This bill was introduced some time ago by Rick Santorum, 'Christian' Senator
from Penna. The original bill would withhold 'federal funds' from a college
that allowed ANY criticism of Israel. WHO controls the U.S. Congress?
Oscar Levy, a Jew,
Admits His People's
Error
"We (Jews) have erred, my friend; we have most grievously erred. And if there
was truth in our error 3,000, 2,000, nay, 100 years ago, there is now nothing
but falseness and madness... a madness that will produce an even greater
misery and an even wider anarchy. There has been no progress, least of all
moral progress. . . And it is just our Morality, which has prohibited all
real progress, and -- what is worse -- which even stands in the way of every
future and natural reconstruction in this ruined world of ours."
Disraeli's
"Coningsby' - An Excerpt
(London, 1844)
"And at the moment, in spite of centuries, or tens of centuries, of degradation,
the Jewish mind exercises a vast influence on the affairs of Europe. I speak
not of their laws, which you still obey; of their literature, with which
your minds are saturated, but of the living Hebrew intellect."
The Ship
Wreckers
By George Lincoln Rockwell
"... in spite of all the fronts and cover-ups, there is one sure way of knowing
who is the real boss anyplace."
Israel-Backed
Firm Buys U.N. Plaza
Capital Real Estate, a New York-based company backed by Israeli shekels is
now in contract to buy the glamorous green glass U.N. Plaza from the United
Nations Development Corp. for approximately $161 million.
Israeli Extremists
and Christian Fundamentalists - The
Alliance
By Grace Halsell
"By the time my book came out those "crazies" were on the front page of every
American newspaper and on every news channel. we are seeing how the Christian
Zionists, motivated by religious beliefs, are working hand in glove with
politically motivated, militant Jewish Zionists around the world."
A
Lobby to Reckon With: Pro-Israel Christian Zionists
BBC Broadcast and transcript.
America's new Christian Zionists lobbying for Israel. "From this we see that
the engine driving the U.S. and Israel into an all out world conflagration
is -- along with the money from the Jewish PACs which control the U.S. Congress
-- the Christian Zionists. Judeo-Christian wasn't quite 'Jewish' enough.
What an oxymoron, and what a spit-in-the-face of Jesus." Jackie Patru
Israel
Wants U.S. to Pressure
Syria
Associated Press: In remarks published Monday, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz
said Israel has "a long list of issues we are thinking of demanding of the
Syrians, and it would be best done through the Americans."
Greater
Israel: What Does It Really
Mean?
The U.S. led war on Iraq... and eventually many other Muslim nations may
be part of an Israeli plan to let others die for the goal of its expansion
into Greater Israel. Extremist Zionist sympathizers in Bush's administration
are the perpetrators of this scheme to have American military men and women
die for Israel. See the arguments for this claim. Webmaster's note: This

American Murdered
by Israeli Soldier
Hoffman Wire: "Rachel Corrie, 23, is the American woman who was killed
by an Israeli soldier operating a giant, D-9 armored bulldozer (paid for
with your tax dollars). Congress, the president and the war-Zionist media
are all silent. Imagine if she had been killed by an Iraqi!"
Rachel Corrie's
E-mails Home
The Guardian - UK: "23-year-old American peace activist Rachel Corrie
was crushed to death by a bulldozer as she tried to prevent the Israeli army
destroying homes in the Gaza Strip. In a remarkable series of emails to her
family, she explained why she was risking her life."
Four Eye-witnesses
Describe the Murder of Rachel
Corrie
"Her faced showed she was panicking and it was clear she was in danger of
being overwhelmed. . . They pushed Rachel, first beneath the scoop, then
beneath the blade, then continued till her body was beneath the cockpit.
They waited over her for a few seconds, before reversing. They reversed with
the blade pressed down, so it scraped over her body a second time. Every
second I believed they would stop but they never did."
Rachael Corrie's Memorial Service Disrupted by Israeli Army The Guardian - UK: "Israeli forces fired teargas and stun grenades yesterday in an attempt to break up a memorial service for Rachel Corrie, the American peace activist killed by an army bulldozer in Gaza on Sunday."
Rachael Corrie's
mom speaks up and out
. . . about the Israeli genocide on Palestinians: "Friday, approximately
twenty [Israeli] military vehicles surrounded the ISM (International Solidarity
Movement) media office, seized ISM computers and video equipment, pillaged
files and photos, broke equipment and damaged office space. Three females
in the office (one from Human Rights Watch, a Palestinian volunteer, and
an American volunteer) were taken away."
Israel
- The Secret Arsenal of the Jewish
State
MSNBC Interactive: "Despite Israel's refusal to acknowledge its nuclear
weapons status, its secret arsenal is an open secret that Israeli policy
makers don't go out of their way to deny." Look at the dots on this map!
2 Air Bases, 7 Strategic Weapons Plants and 3 Missile Facilities! It
appears that no nation should have WMDs except U.S., U.K and Israel.
Israeli
Professor: 'We Could Destroy All European
Capitals'
"We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure
you that this will happen before Israel goes under." [It's called The Samson
Option, folks.]
What Christians
Don't Know About Israel
By Grace Halsell
“We believe with absolute certitude that right now, with the White House
in our hands, the Senate in our hands and The New York Times in our hands,
the lives of others do not count the same way as our own.” —Israeli
journalist, Arieh Shavit

Tell a Joke, Go
to Jail
"In Hungary, the democratically-elected Parliament just last week passed
a law stipulating a two-year prison term for 'someone who publicly insults
a Jew'. What's more, if the insult amounts to an expression of 'hatred',
the sentence goes up to three years! Fortunately, at the last moment, Hungary's
President declined to sign the bill. It will be back, just like the American
Federal hate-crime legislation kept coming back until it was passed
recently.
