- When President Bush visited the Middle East, all the
high and mighty flocked to him, Jew and Arab alike. Princes presented him
with their priceless swords, presidents and prime ministers drank every
word out of his lips, bishops and imams beamed their smiles upon the ruler.
They knew why he had flown all over half a planet, this man who is not
given to foreign trips. Tel Aviv and New York craved more blood and ruins,
and Iraq was already bled white. Now Iran has to be bombed, and Bush came
to muster a new coalition of the willing to partake in its destruction.
In order to provide a respite, Israel made a hecatomb in his honour - some
fifty Palestinians were slaughtered and wounded, and upon their blood Bush
confirmed America's unlimited support of the Jewish state.
-
- Among the dead, there was Hussam, the second son of Mahmud
Zahar, the former Foreign Minister of Palestine. Our sincere condolences
to him: his elder son was murdered by Jews four years ago in an attempt
to assassinate the father, and now the second son has heroically died,
defending Gaza from the invader. But the disparity of forces is too great:
fifteen fighters were killed, proving that Gaza is still defenceless, still
weaponless, still at mercy of the merciless enemy. This disparity may lure
Israelis into carrying out their plan of retaking Gaza.
-
- As the dead and wounded of Gaza were carried to the mosque,
George Bush preached to the Arabs how wonderful Israel -- this beacon of
light and democracy in the Middle East -- is, and he pushed his message
of war with Iran deeper and deeper down their throats. He wants to bomb
Teheran and Shiraz before the end of his term. This was demanded by his
Israeli hosts, and George is always ready to do whatever they ask.
-
- And the Arab leaders listened, and presented him with
horses, and overloaded tables with food. There never was a more shameful
surrender than this one. After seeing the Arab leaders with Bush, one wants
apologise to Marshal Petain for having been so harshly treated.
-
- "From the standpoint of the local populations, the
spectacle of their hereditary rulers literally rolling out the red carpet
for -- and hanging heavy gold chains representing their countries' highest
honours around the neck of -- the man widely viewed as the worst enemy
in living memory of Arabs, Muslims and Islam itself, the man who is already
responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Arabs and Muslims
and who appears eager to kill more, can hardly enhance the respect in which
these rulers are held," wrote the perceptive John Whitbeck.
-
- One Arab spiritual leader refused the dishonouring honour,
declined the invitation and the photo-op. This was Archbishop Theodosius
Atallah Hanna, the highest-ranking Palestinian hierarch in the old great
Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem and Holy Land, the community whose first
bishop was James, brother of Jesus. Archbishop refused to come to the Bethlehem
Church of the Nativity when other bishops met with the man of blood. This
noble and daring act saved the honour of the Arabs. Sometimes, one man
can do it. Thus, one lieutenant saved the honour of the Czech army in 1938
when he, single-handed and armed with a standard handgun, opened fire on
the invading German Army tanks. Archbishop Theodosius followed the example
set by his elder fellow churchman, the Archbishop Christodoulos, head of
the Greek Church, who also had refused to meet with the American President
while he visited Greece. These princes of the church rejected the warmonger,
as the Prince of Peace taught. They also destroyed the lie of a Conflict
of Civilisations; these Christians are for peace and against war, and here
all sincere people are united, whether they are Muslims or Christians.
-
- Jews are different
-
- "And Jews! Please add the Jews", I hear voices
crying. I'd love to, but the Jewish spiritual leaders do not agree. They
are for war and bloodshed, if it's goys' blood to be shed. The Ashkenazi
Chief Rabbi, Yona Metzger, thanked President Bush for his invasion of Iraq
with its 200,000 dead. "I want to thank you for your support of Israel
and in particular for waging a war against Iraq", Metzger told Bush,
reported Jerusalem Post. Yona Metzger is not some old Jew out of touch
with the modern world. I met him recently: tall, elegant, handsome, exquisitely
dressed; his tall hat could cause the envy of a London dandy. Prince, yes,
but Prince of Darkness and War.
-
- Metzger knows what is good for Jews, though it has nothing
to do with the wishes of ordinary Jews: the Ukrainian President unveiled
a monument to a Nazi leader who killed umpteen Jews, he openly adores the
Ukrainian SS, yet Metzger blessed him, for he is about to bring the Ukraine
into NATO. The President of Belarus said that Jews do not keep their streets
tidy; Metzger attacked him like a Rottweiler, because Lukashenko does not
privatise national assets. Metzger is a symbol of the full integration
of Jews into US imperialism as its special propaganda corps. And he was
elevated by Jewish-managed CBS to rank among "the 12 most influential
religious figures in the world", together with the Dalai Lama and
the Archbishop of Canterbury.
-
- There is much talk of a huge difference between aggressive
Ashkenazis and peaceful Sephardis, but reality disproves it. If a Sephardic
leader speaks well of Islam, like rabbi Haim Ovadia of Los Angeles did
in his essay The Bridge with Islam which was spread by the Internet as
good news, you may be sure he does it in order to attack the Christian
faith. Indeed he says that he is "a Jew of Islam", and refers
to Muslim tolerance only to mention in the same breath "the Crusades,
Saint Bartholomew's day massacre and the Inquisition"; further on
he smears St. Francis of Assisi and the Church for daring to claim, even
nowadays, that "the Lord Christ is the only true god". Should
Christians say that He is just one of many true gods, in order to satisfy
the good rabbi?
-
- Actually, the Sephardic spiritual leaders are as keen
on war and death as their Ashkenazi brethren. Former Sephardic Chief Rabbi
Ovadia Yosef called the Arabs "snakes" and "Amalek"
who should be exterminated like vermin. "It is forbidden to be merciful
to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil
and damnable", he said. Kill them all, there is no need to distinguish
between warriors and non-belligerents, wrote former Sephardi Chief Rabbi
Mordechai Eliyahu. There is no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate
killing of civilians, for all civilians of Gaza are collectively guilty,
he said, taking a leaf from the Old Testament. His guiding light was the
Shechem massacre (Genesis 34): two titular ancestors of the Jews massacred
all the inhabitants of this city (present day Nablus) after tricking them
into becoming circumcised. His conclusion - carpet bombing is the best.
-
- He also called upon Bush to do the Jews' will because
this is God's will: "The Jewish nation is eternal, and forever remembers
those that have aided it throughout history, as well as those that have
done it harm. Please let your name go down in history as a president who
aided the Jewish nation, who worked alongside God and not against him,"
wrote the rabbi. And the Jews' will is forever the killing of some inconvenient
goy, or a million of them.
-
- As for remembering favours, you may ask the Brits. Their
leaders, Balfour and Lloyd George, believed in this mumbo-jumbo. And they
shed the blood of their soldiers, conquered Palestine, squashed native
resistance, allowed Jews to come in, trained their army, and when they
had completed this work and were waiting for the promised gratitude, they
were bombed, knifed, burned, hanged and humiliated in hundred ways. Read
more about Jewish gratitude with respect to the Brits: I wrote about it
in Prince Charming, but you'll find it even in that most Zionist of all
books, The Exodus by Leon Uris. The facts are still the same.
-
- Some cultures indeed value debt repayment. Such are the
Japanese. They enjoy paying their debts. In 1905, Jewish American bankers
gave the Japanese generals a generous loan to rearm their military and
beat the Russians. In return, in the 1930s, the Japanese gave visas to
every Jew who applied for it. But Jews have no such sentimental tradition.
They say: you borrow somebody else's money, but give away your own; you
borrow for a while, but give away for good. Or, even easier: only cowards
pay debts -- including the debt of gratitude. Anyway "aiding the Jewish
nation", in Rabbi Eliyahu's words, is a sacred duty for a goy, and
where there is duty, no debt is incurred.
-
- If you still doubt this, go ask the South Lebanese Army
soldiers - they were dropped like a hot brick when it suited Israel. Ask
the Poles who permitted the biggest Jewish colony ever to settle and prosper
in their borders, only to be forever branded as "vicious antisemites".
But enough of this.
-
- It's dangerous to say "peace", for one may
be attacked by more extreme Jews. Olmert is not much of a peacenik. He
devastated Lebanon, starves Gaza and kills civilians there on a daily basis.
If he mentions the word "peace", it's in order to mislead, as
so many Israeli politicians have done before him. And even then, Rabbi
Shalom Dov Wolpe, a Khabad leader, called him "the terrible traitor,
who should be hanged". Yitzhak Rabin was not much of peacenik either.
He ordered the breaking of the arms and legs of Palestinian children; he
brought Fatah from Tunis in order to suppress the Intifada without the
mild limitations of the Israeli Supreme Court. Still he was assassinated
by a Jewish religious fanatic.
-
- Alas, this proves as little as the title of 'antisemite".
Some Jews called Sharon, Rabin, Olmert - 'antisemites'. Likewise, there
are Jews who would consider Rabbi Kahane a peacenik and a traitor! But
beyond this virtual reality, there are still no Israelis close to power
who would go for a peace acceptable to Palestinians.
