- These phrases, "hate speech" and "anti-Semite",
are well-worn devices to shut up a critic of Israel without having to answer
the criticisms. Indeed they have been used so much that they have become
red warning flags that the person using those phrases has something to
hide and needs to shut down the discussion by any means possible. By screaming
"hate speech" or "anti-Semite", Israel's supporters
hope to shut down the debate without actually examining the issues involved.
-
- Hate gets a bum rap. In our politically correct society
we are taught that it's bad to hate at all, but I disagree. Hate can be
a good thing. There are lots of things I hate and I am not ashamed to admit
it. I hate liars. I hate thieves. I hate drug dealers. I hate corrupt politicians.
I hate child molesters, especially those hiding their crimes behind the
church. These are hates that are good for the people to have. Maybe if
more people allowed themselves to hate liars, thieves, druggies, and the
corrupt, our nation wouldn't be in the mess it's in. Think about that for
a while. Hate can be good. Hate could actually save our country.
-
- I hate those who presume to decide for us what we can
and cannot see, hear, or read. I am firmly opposed to and have openly defied
efforts by our own government to withhold from the people information the
people need to make good decisions with. When the Israeli lobby coerces
Fox News to erase the story about Israel's spy ring, should I be less outraged
at the concealment simply because the censors are Israeli? To NOT speak
out about a crime, because the perpetrators are Israeli, is racist!!! Because
this is EXACTLY what we are dealing with. Crimes. Espionage. Tyranny.
-
-
- It is not "hate" to point out facts the American
people should be paying attention to, especially on the threshold to what
might turn out to be a world war started by deception.
-
- It is not hate to ask what really happened to the USS
Liberty in 1967 when Israel attacked and killed US sailors.
-
- It is not hate to ask if the Lavon Affair can be repeated
to sway public opinion in the US.
-
- But if you want to see REAL hate in action, please read
on.

- 1. "There is a huge gap between us (Jews) and our
enemies -not just in ability but in morality, culture, sanctity of life,

continent, to our world, but actually belong to a different galaxy."
Israeli president Moshe Katsav. The Jerusalem Post, May 10, 2001

-
- 9. David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister):
"If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel.
It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to
us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has
been Anti - Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their
fault ? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country.
Why would they accept that?" Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe
Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.

Sharon, October 3, 2001, to Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio.
(Certainly the FBI's cover-up of the Israeli spy ring/phone tap scandal
suggests that Mr. Sharon may not have been joking.

-
- 15. "We should prepare to go over to the offensive.
Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is
Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine.
We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the
Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb
and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai." David Ben-Gurion,
May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael
Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.

of its Arab population." Israel Koenig, "The Koenig Memorandum"
-
- 17. "Jewish villages were built in the place of
Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and
I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do
the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose
in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid
in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman.
There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former
Arab population." Moshe Dayan, address to the Technion, Haifa, reported

-
- 20. "There are some who believe that the non-Jewish
population, even in a high percentage, within our borders will be more
effectively under our surveillance; and there are some who believe the
contrary, i.e., that it is easier to carry out surveillance over the activities
of a neighbor than over those of a tenant. [I] tend to support the latter
view and have an additional argument:...the need to sustain the character
of the state which will henceforth be Jewish...with a non-Jewish minority
limited to 15 percent. I had already reached this fundamental position
as early as 1940 [and] it is entered in my diary." Joseph Weitz, head
of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department. From Israel: an Apartheid
State by Uri Davis, p.5.
-
- 21. "Everybody has to move, run and grab as many
hilltops as they can to enlarge the settlements because everything we take

1998.
-
- 22. "It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain
to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts
that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism,
colonialization or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the
expropriation of their lands." Yoram Bar Porath, Yediot Aahronot,
of 14 July 1972.
-
- 23. "Spirit the penniless population across the
frontier by denying it employment... Both the process of expropriation
and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly."
Theodore Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization, speaking of
the Arabs of Palestine, Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry.
-
- There is a double standard at work. Israeli supporters
prowl the internet and the media shouting "hate speech" not at
those who actually hate, but at those who focus on the embarrassing truths
Israel does not want Americans to think about while they pony up another
few billions dollars.
-
- The good news is that Israel's supporters have screamed
"hate speech" and "anti-Semite" so much that the phrases
have lost their shock value, which means they have lost their value to
silence. Certainly, I am not concerned about any labels placed on this
web site by an organization of acknowledged spies. Indeed I am gratified
to be recognized as such a threat to their plans and purposes. I am proud
that efforts to get the truth out are working.
