Fwd: Old World Game: Robbing and Killing Jews! * Terror Victims' Group: Why Did We Go to War? * Ironic Twist of ‘Withdrawal’



Terror Victims' Group: Why Did We Go to War?

When Israel attacked in Lebanon 2006, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the main objective was to rescue the abducted soldiers. Almagor group, which represents terror victims, said that the government's decision regarding the deal with Hizbullah means that the Second Lebanon War has ended in a fiasco and "all of the government's promises and bravado faded with a whimper." Almagor chairman, Lieut-Col. (res.) Meir Indor said: "The governments' duty now is to explain to 117 families of the fallen soldiers in the Second Lebanon War, and to the families of civilian victims who died during the war, why did Israel go to war when it could have surrendered to the Hizbullah's demands from the outset?"

Bassam Kuntar, brother of child-murderer Samir Kuntar who will be released in the deal approved by the Israeli government, told Hizbullah's radio station "the one who released the prisoners was not the Israeli Prime Minister or the Israeli government, but Hizbullah, with its abduction operation two years ago." (Olmert's government has allowed its enemies to feel triumphant. This will only lead to an escalation of terror against Israel and more victims!)

Fatah vs Hamas - Identical Terrorist Dirt Bags: "The cease-fire is gone and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades will make the enemy pay a high price for its crimes against the truce Hamas gave for free to the enemy. We emphasize our right to act at any time and place of our choosing," quote from a pamphlet released last week by the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Since the cease-fire was signed last month, Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades have fired more than a dozen rockets and mortars into Israel.

Many Muslim leaders, including heads of states, gave the West an ultimatum: "Convert to Islam or die!" For the sake of self-preservation, people in Israel and the Western countries must end this stupid policy of political correctness and say to Muslims: "Leave us alone. Move out to Iran or the Wahabistic pariah Saudi Arabia and live happily or kill each other over there." They will have no one else to blame any more!

Hizbullah: We'll Attack Once Deal is Done. Hizbullah's commander in southern Lebanon, Sheikh Nabil Kawuk, announced that the terrorist organization will renew its attacks on Israeli civilians once the ransom deal is done. "We will soon achieve a great victory due to the deal to release our prisoners in Israel," he said," and then we will reach a new level to free the Shebaa Farms (Hizbullah's term for Har Dov)." (Must Israel wait and just react to the enemy's attacks? Only by setting objectives and national goals and acting toward achieving them can Israel end terror and teach its enemies how to live in peace!)

River of Money. The international community has paid out nearly a billion dollars in direct aid to the Palestinians in six months. (Refugees from Darfur do not get such international generosity! Aid in support of a terror system designed to destroy Israel is not a problem for anti-Semites, but aid to Israel in order to fight global Islamic terror and defend the world from it is a 'great' problem for those bigots!)

Living In Fear of the 'Brotherly Love'. Many of the Persian Gulf States, including Saudi Arabia, are concerned about Iran's expanding influence, especially amongst Shiite communities in the area and most likely would not be opposed to an Israeli strike against Iran or even quietly welcome it as they did when Israel bombed Iraqi nuclear reactor. The Saudi economy is especially vulnerable to Iranian threats to close the Straits of Hormuz and block world oil production.

Quote of the Week:

"Unlike puppets we have the possibility of stopping in our movements, looking up and perceiving the machinery by which we have been moved. In this act lies the first steps towards freedom." - Peter Berger, Sociologist.

Israel Helps Africa Combat AIDS. Inon Schenker, an AIDS prevention specialist, is working to marry the experience accumulated in Israel with the urgent need in Africa for effective programs to fight the AIDS epidemic. A link between circumcision and AIDS prevention was shown in three studies conducted between 2004 and 2006, which found that the risk of contracting AIDS in heterosexual sex is 50 percent to 60 percent less among men who are circumcised.

Ironic Twist of 'Withdrawal'. Gazan Arabs who were employed by Israeli farmers in Gush Katif are seeking ways to sue their former employers for "wrongful dismissal." (Immediately after 8,500 Jews were forcefully transferred from Gaza, greenhouses were destroyed, ransacked and transformed into the terror training camps. Transfer of Arabs from Jewish land is not even considered!)

Old World Game: Robbing and Killing Jews!

by Steven Shamrak

Every four years, the world waits with great anticipation for the start of the next Olympic Games. Meanwhile, another world game has been going on for almost two millennia. It all started with the traditional attitude of the Church toward Jews as the "killers of the Saviour" which provided a pretext for traditional anti-Semitism in Europe and America. However, the true reason for anti-Semitism has always been a financial one. Even the early Christians, in spite of persecution by the Romans, wanted to disassociate themselves from their Jewishness mainly in order to avoid paying the humiliating additional tax that the Romans imposed on Jews after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.

Later, any local king, baron, knight or abbot could kill, rob and displace Jews without fear of any retribution and with feeling of moral superiority promoted by the Church. Many royals borrowed heavily from the Jews in the past in order to maintain their lavish lifestyle or conduct wars. In return, existence under royal protection was offered to Jews, but often the debt was annulled and Jewish communities were forced to leave their homes.

England expelled Jews long before the Inquisition. In the beginning of the 14th century, the king of France, Philippe Le Bel, cancelled his debt to the Jews. The expulsions of Jews all over Europe were often accompanied by confiscation of their properties as well. The Church found this enterprise quite profitable during the time of the Inquisition.

At least in the middle ages Jews were allowed to leave and face danger in foreign lands! The Nazis and their willing 'dogs' in many countries were not satisfied by just making themselves rich with confiscated Jewish properties; they needed Jewish blood!

During the 1930s the United State congress unleashed anti-Communist propaganda, which coincided with the governmental 'tolerance' toward the rise of anti-Semitism and racism. Fascist and racist organizations like the KKK flourished! Jews were branded as war-mongers for their anti-Fascist position and were scared of governmental and mob reprisal. The US denied shelter to Jewish refugees from Europe, even to those who had entry visas. At the same time, the trade with fascist Germany and Italy thrived and goods from American steel to IBM computers were sold to "defenders against Communism". Morality and decency were discarded and replaced by the corporate bottom line!

Since the birth of the modern Zionist movement, a new game has been invented: "It is all about money (actually oil), stupid!" The British government promised support for the creation of the Jewish state in Palestine during the WW1. In 1922, almost immediately after the League of Nations gave control over the Palestinian mandate to Britain, in order to facilitate the creation of the Jewish state, 77% of Jewish land was ceded to Muslims in exchange for the control of oil in Kirkut. At the same time the Sinai Peninsula was given to Egypt in order to gain lucrative control of Suez Canal.

Some Jews still have a warm feeling about US support for Jewish immigration from the Soviet Union. I am one who benefited from this policy. Was it an altruistic gesture made by the United States on behalf of Soviet Jewry or a well calculated and planned collusion by enemies? Couldn't it be that the 'outrageous' demands to allow Jews to be able to leave the USSR permitted the continuation of the charade of the Cold war? This war, which divided the world on spheres of economic and political influence and more importantly arm trade! The USSR had been supplying arms to world revolutionaries, to most Arab countries and India, and the US were in charge of Israel and the rest of the 'free world'. Every state of the world was paranoid and paralysed by fear. All of them were buying weapons! During this game, for almost 12 years, the Soviets 'graciously' allowed Jews to leave the Soviet Union with nothing!

During the last few years, we can see Russia under president Putin has been re-establishing the same 'balance of power' with minimal (or even no) 'resistance' from the USA. As they say: "The game must go on!"

Over two millennia Jews have become used to enraged religious fanatics; to enrich local rulers by borrowing from or robbing Jews; to divert public opinion and the anger of the mob from the failure of the ruling class or government. What is absolutely amazing is that all religious and political spectrums did it; Christians, Muslims, Capitalists, Fascists and godless Communists have been quite skilfully playing this game of robbing and killing Jews!

Contrary to the common misconception that "we (Jews) can't do anything about it", it has only happened because throughout history, after the trauma Jews suffered during the destruction of the Temple and expulsion from Judea and Samaria, we have remained paralysed victims and, after hundreds of years of indoctrination, many Jews started to believe to the lies of our enemies that we are at fault. We did not organise our own defence even when we had sufficient numbers to crush our enemies because we always were made feel as strangers in the strangers' land and feared the reprisal of our enemies.

After 60 years of the independence of the Jewish state, it is time to shake off this subservient mentality and not just ask but demand the due respect from others and proudly obtain full ownership of the land of our ancestors.
