Liberals and judeophobes

Slate is clearly worried about rising left-wing anti-Semitism. (Slate: Are you a Liberal Anti-Semite?) So how do you know you're an anti-Semite or just a good liberal criticizing Israel's bad policies? That's a question you never dared to ask your mother, right? So here comes professor Alvin Rosenfeld of Indiana University to the rescue with a nifty little questionnaire to settle the matter once and for all.

Please, answer the questions first before reading any further...

My score: 18. Rosenfeld's verdict: You're an anti-Semite! Well, thanks, Honorable Professor, I really didn't know that!

Let's first examine the questions and answers. In 8 out of the 10 questions, a B is definitely the right answer for anyone who is not on the payroll of the Mossad. Exceptions are:

Question 1: Who deserves the most blame for the Iraq war?
a) George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld
b) Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Bill Kristol
It's just a dirty trick, because the persons under b) are all Jews. They played their dirty behind-the-scenes role, but that can't absolve the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld trio.

Question 6: What do you think of Joe Lieberman?
a) I liked him OK when he ran with Gore, but he lost me on Iraq, school vouchers, and Social Security.
b) The most dangerous man in the Senate
I don't agree with a) because I never liked him, but b) is not right either. He is not the most dangerous man in the Senate. It's another dirty trick question, Lieberman is Jewish.

By the way, never mind about the c) answers. They are reserved for Bush and Olmert.

The Zionists are always deliberately confusing anti-Semitism with anti-Jew and anti-Zionism. Arab people are also Semites, just like the Jews. So to be qualified to be an anti-Semite, you have to be against the Jews AND against the Arabs. Once at a dinner I was sitting next to an old-fashioned Flemish fascist. (Sometimes you can't avoid bad company...) When I started criticizing Israel, he was jumping up and down with joy, a rather peculiar performance considering his age. Well, five minutes later I started to defend our fellow-citizens of Turkish, Algerian and Moroccan origin, and he almost started vomiting up his dinner.

This guy is an anti-Semite, against the Jews, against the Arabs, no doubt also against the Blacks and the Chinese menace. I am not. I am only against the Zionists, because they are the successors of the Nazis.

Rosenfeld's questionnaire is disgusting, aiming to stick the label of anti-Semite to anyone criticizing the Ziocons.

Hebron settlers act as Nazis

Every clear-headed observer can see the parallels between Hitler's Nazis and Olmert's Zionists. Before and during the second World War, Jews suffered “persecution, harassment, stone-throwing, damage to livelihood, intimidation, spitting and scorn” and this treatment escalated further in pogroms and gas chambers.

Compare this to how Zionist settlers in Hebron are treating the Palestinians: “a Hebron settler woman hissing "whore" at her Palestinian neighbor and settler children lobbing rocks at Arab homes”.

Denunciation of the Zionists this time did not come from Hamas, Hezbollah or left-wing supporters of the Palestinians, but from a rather unlikely source: Yosef Lapid, the chairman of Yad Vashem, Israel's largest Holocaust memorial and a former Israeli minister of justice. (Aljazeera: Israel's Hebron settlers criticised)

In a weekly commentary on Israeli Radio, Lapid said that the acts of some Hebron settlers reminded him of persecution endured by Jews in his native Yugoslavia on the eve of the second world war. “I was afraid to go to school, because of the little anti-Semites who used to lay in ambush on the way and beat us up. How is that different from a Palestinian child in Hebron?”, Lapid asked, to go on “It is inconceivable for the memory of Auschwitz to warrant ignoring the fact that there are Jews among us who behave today towards Palestinians just like German, Hungarian, Polish and other anti-Semites behaved towards Jews.”

Mr Lapid, nobody has the right to deny the Holocaust to support the Palestinian people. The treatment of the Jews by the Nazis was a horrible crime, the treatment of the Palestinians by the Zionists is likewise a horrible crime. Measuring degrees of horribleness is not required. More than 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. That crime cannot be stopped anymore, it is part of history. The Holocaust of the Palestinians is ongoing. It can still be stopped, before 6 million Palestinians are dead.

Mr Lapid, open the doors of Yad Vashem to Palestinian victims of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Zionist Jews!

Forbidden Starbucks

A storm in a coffee mug was raised by CCTV9 presenter's Rui Chenggang's blog attacking a Starbucks outlet in Beijing's Forbidden City as damaging Chinese traditional culture. A heated debate has ensued and Starbucks in the end may be forced to leave the Forbidden City. (The Guardian: Online campaign aims to rid Forbidden City of Starbucks)

A lot of arguments have been bandied about, so let's separate the cappuccino form the latte.

I basically agree with the arguments presented by Shanghai Daily's commentator Wang Yong (Don't blame Starbucks, don't equate Forbidden City with Chinese culture):

There should be no cafes or eateries in the Forbidden City. Some visiting tourists no doubt would like to have a coffee. What about those who would like to have a beer? Open a beer house? Or a hamburger? Here comes McDonald's. Or a finger-licking chicken wing? KFC anyone? Come to think of it, why not a branch of Morel's, so people can have decent food and a choice of 50 or so Belgian beers? The Forbidden City or Palace Museum as it is officially called is just that, a museum, a rather large one for sure, but no place to eat or drink.

By singling out Starbucks for criticism, the issue has become entangled in nationalist rhetoric. Starbucks is said to damage Chinese traditional culture. As Wang Yong points out, the 15th-century Forbidden City should not be equated with traditional Chinese culture, because it was only used by the 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Han, Tang and Song dynasties better represent traditional Chinese culture than the Ming and Qing. As Wang Yong writes: “What the Forbidden City stands for is quite possibly the opposite of essence [sic] of Chinese traditional culture - it stands for isolation”.

Aside from the Forbidden City, I am all for a world-wide boycott of Starbucks. Its chairman, Howard Shultz, is a Zionist and inveterate defender of Israel, using Starbucks to sponsor the Zionist cause. He called the Palestinian intifada a manifestation of anti-Semitism and asked people to unite behind Israel. Starbucks should be boycotted, not in the name of traditional Chinese culture, but in support of the Palestinian people against Zionist oppression and exploitation.

Let Stabucks follow the disgraced eunuchs in exile from the Forbidden City. Dump the coffee, have a beer!

Deranged Wall Street 'logic'

The opinion page in The Wall Street Journal is scaling ever more higher heights in deranged war mongering, which would have made Goebbels blush about his own incompetency. Read this lunatic article (The Wall Street Journal: Squeezing Iran) and try not to retch...

Of course the writer is hiding behind the face of anonymity to hide the fact that he's no doubt a despicable Ziocon paid by the Zionist lobby to frantically push the U.S. to launch a war of aggression against Iran and slaughter a million or more innocent Iranians to protect the Nazi Führers in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

“Iran is supporting Shiite radicals in Iraq and President Bush finally suggested he'll do something about it.” “It's about time [...] showing Tehran that it will pay a price for continued subversion in Iraq”, writes Mr. Anonymous.

Meddling in another country's affairs is wrong. About the only country which is consistently not doing so is China – unless it involves Taiwan, but China rightly considers this to be his own affairs, not somebody else's.

But if – for the sake of argument – some country would have the 'right' to meddle in Iraq's affairs, would it not be Iran, which has suffered in an 8-year devastating war, rather than the U.S., thousands of kilometers across an ocean?

“Consider the problem of Iranian-manufactured improvised explosive devices (IED)”, laments the Wall Street Journal. Well now, what about the problem of American bombers dropping the Mother of All Bombs (MOAB)? Which one is claiming more innocent victims, IEDs or MOABs? Why would the U.S. have the 'right' to send its stormtroopers into Iraq, while Iran would not have the 'right' to send its Revolutionary Guards Corps? Because the U.S. is defending 'freedom'? The 'freedom' of the oil companies to plunder Iraq's reserves? The 'freedom' of the Zionists to destroy the Muslims?

Raids into Iran and Syria would be 'justified' to save American lives, according to the Wall Street Journal. Very well then, why would Iran and Syria not be 'justified' to stage raids against the Pentagon to save Iraqi, Iranian and Syrian lives? Because in the eyes of the Ziocon übermenschen they are worth nothing...

The opinion pieces in the Wall Street Journal are utterly despicable, the paper they are printed on only worth to be used in the toilet, the bits carrying them along the digital highway soiling the fiber-optic cables with stinking shit.

So this is America's freedom of the press... The freedom to preach a war of aggression, war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

“One failure of Mr. Bush's war leadership has been to clearly define the enemy in Iraq”, concludes the Journal. The peoples of the world will make no such mistake. They know who there enemy is: American imperialism.

"Beyond expectations"

Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert was very satisfied with his 3-day visit to Beijing, characterizing his talks with Chinese leaders as “surprising and encouraging, certainly beyond expectations”. The problem is, if it is encouraging for the Zionists, it cannot be encouraging for the Palestinian people, Iran and the Arab countries.

China does not want Iran to develop nuclear weapons. There is no problem with that, there is absolutely no proof that Iran is doing so. There was no need to fear Saddam's WMD because he didn't have any; there is no need to fear or oppose Iran's atom bomb, because the country is not developing any. Ayatollah Khomeini has said it loud and clear: possession of nuclear weapons is against Islam.

The problem lies with the Zionists and the neocons, or the Ziocons for short, to borrow a concept from James Petras (The Power of Israel in the United States). China always emphasizes dialogue and negotiations to solve international disputes. That is certainly to be preferred to waging war. The Ziocons however don't want any dialogue. They want to destroy the Palestinian people (like the Nazis wanted to destroy the Jews) and launch war against Iran, because Israel wants to wipe Iran of the map if it fails to install another Shah on the defunct Peacock Throne.

China has always warmly welcomed the Jewish people. In the 1800s Sephardic Jews were welcome to build business empires in the Middle Kingdom; following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, it welcomed Jews fleeing turmoil, including Ehud Olmert's parents who settled in Harbin and learned to speak Chinese. And before and during the Holocaust, Shanghai opened its gates to thousands of Jews – no visa required. No country did as much as China to save innocent Jews persecuted by the Nazis.

But in the 21st century we have to take a stand, certainly not against the Jewish people, only against the Zionists, because the Zionists are the Nazis and the Palestinians the Jews of the 21st century.

China should not have welcomed Olmert, a war criminal and corrupt element, despised not only by Palestinians, Arabs and Iranians, but even in his own country. China stood shoulder to shoulder with the Jews in the 1940s, it should stand shoulder to shoulder with the Palestinians today.

Apartheid in Palestine

My views on the Zionist occupation of Palestine are well known. I frequently compare the Zionists with the Nazis and the situation in Palestine with South African apartheid. Even former U.S. President Jimmy Carter now agrees with the latter in his latest book and has been lambasted by all the defenders of Zionist Israel, which includes all mainstream American publications.

Comparing Zionism with Nazism usually elicits opposition. It would be exaggerated and 'over the top'. Although both -isms are racist. Nazism is racism towards all non-Aryans, primarily Jews and gypsies. Zionism is racism towards all non-Jews, primarily Palestinians and Arabs. Zionists and Nazis both want to create more Lebensraum for their chosen people.

Today I had dinner with a retired Belgian journalist who has traveled extensively in the occupied territories, something which I unfortunately never had the occasion to do. I have no first hand knowledge of the Middle East, but I have read tens of books on the subject. My friend has himself written a few books on the situation in Palestine/Israel and confirmed that yes, Nazism and Zionism are not that far apart.

The truth is spreading, despite the Zionist clampdown on free speech.

Dump this U.S. lackey!

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called for early Palestinian parliamentary and presidential elections (Aljazeera: Abbas calls for early polls). He was elected in early 2005 and the Hamas government was elected in January this year. This 'cohabitation à la Française' didn't work. Fatah and Hamas have fundamentally different policies for attaining Palestinian statehood: two states or one state.

The Hamas government was democratically elected, but because it doesn't recognize the Zionist state of Israel the U.S. didn't like the result of the democratic process and supports a strongman who wants to sell out the rights of the Palestinian people. Abbas has no right to call early elections but instructed by his masters in Washington he is doing so to try to topple Hamas.

If elections take place, the outcome may be completely different: a Hamas president and a Hamas government. This will mean the end for the corrupt Fatah clique. Whether it tried to kill Prime Minister Ismail Haniya remains a mystery, but it might turn out to be the case.

The U.S. wants to break at all costs a strong Palestinian resistance against Israel. Condoleezza Rice is asking Congress for tens of millions of dollars to strengthen Abbas to ensure he emerges victorious. Washington is giving Abbas a poisoned pill as strong as polonium-210.

The Palestinians will know for whom to vote to safeguard their rights. 

Wiped out or disappeared?

67 researchers from 30 countries attended a conference on the Holocaust in Teheran. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Monday the aim of the conference was “not to deny or confirm the Holocaust”, but “to create an opportunity for thinkers who cannot express their views freely”.

Nobody should deny the Holocaust because it is an undeniable historic fact. But it is equally true it has been blown up out of all proportion by the Zionists. The Nazi's killed 50 million people, out of which 6 million Jews. The killing of the Jews is remembered as the Holocaust and in some countries it is a crime to deny it. But what about the other 42 million victims of the Nazi's. There is no law to criminalize denial of the death of those victims.

The neocons and their lackeys at CNN are using the conference to prepare the ground for aggression against Iran. “Iran: Israel to be 'wiped out'”, CNN headlined on its main webpage, above a picture of Iranian President Ahmadinejad. (CNN: Iran: Israel will be 'wiped out'). Compare the wording of what Ahmadinejad supposedly said on the CNN and BBC websites:

• CNN: “Just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out.” “Wiping a country out” has the connotation of driving its people in the sea or to the gas chambers.
  

• BBC: “Just as the USSR disappeared, soon the Zionist regime will disappear.” The Soviet regime indeed disappeared, but Russia didn't, nor did its inhabitants.
  

The fact that Ahmadinejad embraces ultra-orthodox Jews proves that he is not a Jew hater like Hitler or ex-Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who was also present at the conference. While the Iranian president sat next to the ultra-orthodox Jews of Neturei Karta and Jews Against Zionism, Duke sought the company of other Holocaust deniers.

The Holocaust of the Jews is used by the Zionists to justify another Holocaust, the Holocaust of the Palestinians. While the denial of the historical fact of the Holocaust of the Jews is a crime, Western leaders turn a blind eye to the ongoing Holocaust of the Palestinians.

Tony Blair called the conference “shocking beyond belief”. There are no reports however that anybody died as a result of the conference. What is truly “shocking beyond belief” is Bush and Blair's illegal invasion of Iraq.

There can only be peace in the Middle East after the Zionist regime of Israel “has disappeared”. 

Zionist hypocrisy

Now even the incoming U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has conceded that Israel has nuclear weapons, a revelation for which whistle blower Mordechai Vanunu had to spend 18 years in jail and is even now prohibited form leaving the Zionist state.

"Israel won't say, or not say, whether we have nuclear weapons. It suffices that one fears that we have them,” declared Israeli deputy prime minister Shimon Peres (Aljazeera: Israel to keep nuclear silence). The Zionists live by the mushroom cloud and the spreading of fear.

By not declaring to possess nuclear weapons, Israel can benefit from more than 2 billion dollars a year in aid from Washington.

Hypocrisy, lies and slander are their bread and butter of the Zionists. Another lie is to equate the existence of Israel with the existence of the Jewish people. Anybody opposing Israel can thereby be accused of antisemitism and anti-Jewish racism.

“There is an axis of evil that threatens the very existence of the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Iran, Syria, Hizbullah and Hamas,” writes member of the Knesset Benyamin Elon on Ynet News (Time to fight back).

Nobody threatens the existence of the Jewish people. Not Ahmadinejad. Not Assad. Not Nasrallah. Not Meshaal. Perhaps some Nazi remnants would like to, but they will be opposed and defeated by all people, including Muslims.

First of all, only 5 to 6 million Jews live in Israel, a minority of the Jews in the world. So how can you say Israel = the Jewish people.

Second, not all the Jews support Israel. In fact, the most Orthodox Jews, those who follow their holy book, the Torah, are as opposed to Israel as President Ahmadinejad is. They even visited Teheran and were cordially received by an Iranian vice-president (see the website of Neturei Karta). Proof enough that Rabbi's and Rebbe's, Hotjatolislams and Ayatollahs can live together in peace. But you will never find this news in the mainstream media, because the Zionists won't allow it. 

The Nazi Zionists

Israeli tank shells killed 18 Palestinian civilians sleeping in their houses, all belonging to the same family, most of them women and children. Another massacre perpetrated by the Nazi Zionists. On the day of the U.S. mid-term elections so it wouldn’t appear on the front pages.

Olmert said “sorry”. If Hitler would have apologized for the Holocaust, would that have settled the matter?

In the Holocaust 6.1 million Jews were murdered by the German Nazis. The Israeli Nazis have still some way to go before they reach 6.1 million murdered Palestinians. But they are doing everything they can to speed things up. Israeli Vice-Premier Liberman wants to expel all Arabs from Greater Israel to create more Lebensraum. What’s the difference from the Nazis expelling the Jews? The Nazis put the Jews in the gas chambers. The Israelis put the Palestinians in the open air prisons of Gaza and the West Bank to be bombed and starved to death. It is a crime to deny the Holocaust of the Jews, but presidents and prime ministers in the West continue to deny the Holocaust of the Palestinians.

Before some sick mind accuses me of being anti-Jew, let there be no mistake. Some Jews are Zionists like some Germans were (or still are) Nazis. Being anti-Nazi doesn’t make you anti-German and being anti-Zionist doesn’t make you anti-Jew. In fact the most observant, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, are as much against Zionism as Hamas or Hizbollah.

Zionism = Nazism. It should disappear from the face of the earth. And the Zionist state of Israel should be expelled from the United Nations and the community of civilized nations. Only then will Jews, Palestinians, Christians and everybody else be able to live in peace in the Holy Land.
