When Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America recently, he was relaxed, charming and at his deluded best. For Jewish audiences which don’t want to know the truth of history, there’s nobody who can deliver Zionism’s propaganda lines and lies more effectively than him. (Though he didn’t say so, he was obviously delighted that President Obama had taken a hammering in the mid-term elections).
I could take issue with Netanyahu on many of his mad assertions but on this occasion I will settle for challenging just one of them.
At a point he was quite (not completely) fulsome in his praise for Theodore Herzl, who is generally regarded as the founding father of Zionism’s colonial enterprise. Herzl, Netanyahu said, was right about many things. “He was right about the conflagration that would soon engulf Europe and right about the need for a Jewish state and for a Jewish army to defend that state.”
What Netanyahu didn’t say is that before he came up with the idea of a Jewish state, actually in places other than Palestine, Herzl believed that the only way for the problem of anti-Semitism to be solved was by Jews converting to Christianity. As his complete and uncensored dairies reveal, Herzl put a great deal of effort into advocating such a course of action and trying and failing to make it happen.
Netanyahu went on (my emphasis added):
“Yet Herzl was too optimistic in believing that the rebirth of the Jewish state would gradually put an end to anti-Semitism.
“The establishment of Israel did not end the hatred towards the Jews. It merely redirected it. The old hatred against the Jewish people is now focused against the Jewish state… Today in many quarters Israel is demonized, singled out and denied the rights automatically granted to other nations, first and foremost the right of self-defense.”
My first point of challenge is this. After the obscenity of the Nazi holocaust, and because of it, the giant of anti-Semitism would most likely have gone back to sleep, remained asleep and, most probably, died in its sleep if – IF Zionism had not been allowed by the major powers to have its way, ethnic cleansing and all.
My second and related point of challenge is this. What we are witnessing in the world today is not anti-Semitism re-directed but a gathering, global manifestation of anti-Israelism.
This is happening because of the Zionist (not Jewish) state’s arrogance of power, including its resort from time to time to state terrorism; its contempt for, and defiance of, international law and a host of UN Security Council resolutions; and its insufferable self-righteousness.
Simply stated, the more the peoples of nations (if not their governments) become aware of Israel’s racist policies and criminal actions, and that its leaders are not interested in peace on terms the vast majority of Palestinians and most other Arabs and Muslims could just about accept, the more anti-Israelism will continue to grow.
Implicitly Netanyahu was saying to his audience – he didn’t need to be explicit – that if American Jews do not support without question whatever Israel does, there is a danger that it will not be capable of becoming the refuge of last resort for all the Jews of the world when it turns against them.
The truth and the tragedy in the making is the opposite of what Netanyahu was implying. The only way for American and European Jews to best protect their own interests is by distancing themselves from Zionism’s monster child.
In an article for The Financial Times on 7 December 2009, the late Tony Judy put it this way:
“If the Jews of Europe and North America took their distance from Israel, the assertion that Israel was ‘their’ state would take on an absurd air. Over time, even Washington might come to see the futility of attaching American foreign policy to the delusions of one small Middle Eastern state. This, I believe, is the best thing that could possibly happen to Israel itself. It would be obliged to acknowledge its limits. It would have to make other friends, preferably among its neighbours.”
In the Epilogue to Volume Three of the American edition of my book, ZIONISM: THE REAL ENEMY OF THE JEWS, sub-titled Conflict Without End?, I speculate that an Israel that was obliged by the Jews of the world to acknowledge its limits might also be an Israel that was prepared to listen to the wise words of one of its own – Avraham Burg. Between 1999 and 2003 he was the speaker of the Knesset. By the end of his term in that office he was a leading advocate of the idea that Israel and a viable Palestinian state could coexist in peace. In August 2003 he wrote a most remarkable essay which was published in its original Hebrew by Yediot Aharonot and subsequently newspapers in Europe and America.
His lead point was that Israel had to “shed its illusions” and choose between “racist oppression and democracy.” The Jewish people, he wrote, “did not survive for two millennia in order to pioneer new weaponry, computer security programmes or anti-missile missiles. We were supposed to be a light unto nations. In this we have failed.”
My own guess is that Netanyahu’s biggest fear is that America’s Jews might be on their way to understanding that support for Israel right or wrong is not in their own best interests. There is some evidence to suggest that might, repeat might, be so. If it is, perhaps there is some reason to hope that the countdown to Armageddon can be stopped before it is too late.

I wish I was more eloquent in my abilities to get things across. I've had much going around my limited brain for many years regarding the problems in the middle east, especially the Zionist Israeli, permanent war against, (Mostly), innocent Arabs. But it recently occurred to me that, all this media coverage and support whipped up for Israel could possibly be a massive attempt to divert the people of the world from what is really going on in the background with regard to the One World government lobbyists working away in the power bases of all the western countries. Especially the U.K. and America. Or is it just my over-active imagination that we're being subjected to a very sly take over by these worms.
Israel's policies and actions are very bad for Judaism, but most Jews are not aware of this. Attaching their religion to a political entity, damages the religion bcause it becomes identified with apartheid and Jewish supremacy and domination over non Jews. The religious jews in particular are usually the cruelest towards non Jews, because they see things in the Old Testament and Talmud that often supports the of contempt for non Jews as not equal to Jews. I don't think apartheid pracices will last indefinitely. The hatred inmeshed in apartheid will eventually make the system implode.
Israel is a dangerous, nuclear armed state, supported by liberal American Jews who would speak out stongly against these policies if they ocurred in other countries. It's ethnic self love blinds it to injustice, and even the basic concept of equality under the law, which should be anathama to democratic peoples. The Jewish religion has fallen to a morally low level in endorsing the apartheid policies in Israel.
All Zionist ringleaders know the power of denial and how to maintain mass indoctrination amongst their target audience. It has worked well in Israel. The Israeli propaganda machine has always regarded Zionism a Eurocentric thing. So, amongst Middle Eastern Jews and even the Islamic influenced Sephardim, there is no room for an Arab identity. This is another way to fuel hate which Zionism's masters use fully. When they look at the Arab people, they are looking in a mirror. So they are forced to hate the Arabs. If they didn't they would hate themselves. I believe the concept of the "Self Hating Jew" to be a consequence of Political Zionism.
John Goodfellow talks of diversion and One World government lobbyists at work. While I am of limited knowledge, in sympathy with these thoughts I point to the "global financial crisis of 2008" as a classic false flag event. It was widely predicted, it was cleverly concealed by those in power and it is now snowballing into something that will make 2008 look like the good old times.
The connection with this theme is the "tribe" of those running Goldman Sachs - which runs the US government via its finances (executives move on to Treasury, IMF, Fed's etc.) - they are only doing "god's" work they tell us.
When we are all flattened by the next armageddon financial crisis 'from nowhere', we will be told how grateful we should be for the new solution foisted upon us when a bankrupt US and Europe subordinate themselves to the wanna-be's.
articles like this one, are now futile.
Jews support the Zionist State without even thinking
the 1% "Uber-Class", wannabe Rulers of Planet Earth, are so far along now with THEIR plans of 99% of the world to be impoverished and enslaved,
that it will all end very bad
I expect a nuclear "terrorist act" to initiate WWIII
(courtesy of the same devils who gave us 911)
when that goes down, all bets are off
I regret that the above mentioned is absolutely going to happen within my life time, and soon too
the economies of both the USA & Europe are collapsing so fast now, that one can see/hear the war drums beating, more openly with each passing day
evidently the official enemies are to be China, followed by Iran, Russia, Syria and maybe one or two more.
after that, it will be every family/community for themselves
The goyim are starting to understand that they are just "goyim" to these hard hearted, self absorbed, lost souls. We are entering a time of hardship and chaos, and that will open the door to more objective thought on this and many other things that have long been neglected. The deceivers are not omnipotent, they are known by their fruit, and will be held to account.

For many years Egyptians admired America, now this admiration is turning to disdain.
The Egyptians have discovered that the American Jews who are ruling the land are more Israelis than Americans.

They are considering Israel as their first home, their first patrimony, this of course reflects on America's behaviour as we can see it all over the world. They don't give a damn about the rest of the Americans Christians, Moslem or any other religion.
There are more Jews in America than in Israel !!

Alan,
From what I see inside the American Jewish community it appears that the push by organized Jewry (the "leadership") is up the fear and paranoia in American Jews while constantly broadcasting "Come 'home' to Israel...It's not safe for you anywhere else". THAT is wha tall the "settlement building" is about...the Jewish "leadership" is trying to create a 21st century "Exodus" and so I suspect that some of this "antisemitism" is being promoted by "them".
[...] No, Mr. Netanyahu, you and yours are responsible for the “demonization” of Israel [...]
