SIMON WIESENTHAL KNIGHTED FOR “LIFETIME OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY”
Simon Wiesenthal received an honorary knighthood today in recognition of his “lifetime of service to humanity”.
British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw recommended Mr. Wiesenthal for knighthood for his “untiring service to the Jewish communities in the UK and elsewhere by helping to right at least some of the awful wrongs of the Holocaust.”
Simon Weisenthal of Vienna received his just reward from the British royal family for covering up the full story of the Holocaust and making sure that only a few show trials of minor bureaucrats were ever conducted, worldwide. Thanks to Weisenthal, the Jews were satisfied that a relentless Nazi hunter was seeking justice for them. In fact, he was making sure justice for the Jews was never served.
Nowhere is the nazis' mass-escape from justice clearer than in Israel. In 60 years, with thousands of nazis who murdered her citizens to choose from, exactly two were tried and one was released on a technicality. The other one, Adolph Eichmann, was hunted down because he knew too much about the Jewish Agency's complicity in the murder of 800,000 Hungarian Jews.
For years, people who know people have claimed that Eichmann was not executed and the ashes thrown into the sea weren't his. I have never repeated the assertion because it couldn't be proven. But after you read what is known, you may agree that anything is possible.
I am too often compared to a widely-published Jewish internet writer named Henry Makow. The parallels are pretty uncanny. At the same time but independently, we both uncovered the hidden order ruling the life of the planet, and we both discovered that the Holocaust and Israel's founding were manipulations by the same forces.
And, as Jews, these discoveries shook us both to our cores.
The difference is that Makow has drawn all the wrong conclusions from our
discoveries. He has joined the ranks of the pro-Arab anti-semites who exploit the information to slander Israel. The difference between him and me is I live in Israel and know what's going on intimately, while he lives in the boondocks of Canada and has to rely on mistaken second-hand research. We will return to the present in time, but let us first recall the sorry chapter of Labor Zionism-Nazi ties predating the Holocaust, as recounted by Makow:

In 1935 the steamer "Tel Aviv" made its maiden voyage from Nazi Germany to Haifa with Hebrew letters on its bow and a Nazi flag fluttering from its mast. The Captain of the Zionist-owned ship was a member of the Nazi Party. A passenger described the spectacle as a "metaphysical absurdity."
Actually it made perfect sense.
The ship transported German Jews who had taken advantage of the "Haavara" program, which allowed them to exchange their money for its value in Germany products in Palestine. As a result, the fledgling Jewish colony received about 70,000 highly educated German Jews and 140 million Reichmarks worth of German industrial equipment. This laid the foundation of Israel's economic infrastructure.
The arrangement also boosted the Nazi economy at a time when Jews worldwide were boycotting German goods. (My source here is "The Secret Contacts" by Klaus Polkehn a prominent German journalist. It is included in Olivia O'Grady's The Beasts of the Apocalyse, 2001, 421-447.)
Why retell this story of Zionist-Nazi cooperation?
Because "Jewish" leaders have been exploiting their "lesser brethren" for a long time, and are doing so today. Ordinary Jews pay the price and this price could rise...
The Zionists did not protest Nazi persecution such as the removal of 2000 Jewish scholars and scientists from German universities in 1933. The Nazis rewarded this "restraint" by allowing the Zionists to go about their work unhindered. All other Jewish and anti fascist organizations were disbanded and their members imprisoned.
The Nazis required all Jews to join the Zionist-led "Reich Union" whose goal was emigration. Jews were to be converted to Zionism at any cost. The Zionists were able to publish books and newspapers critical of the Nazis so long as the audience was restricted to Jews.
The cooperation extended to political and economic spheres. Adolph Eichmann set up agricultural training camps in Austria to prepare young Jews for Kibbutz life. He visited Palestine and conferred with Zionist leaders who confessed their true expansionist goals. There was even talk of a strategic alliance between Nazi Germany and Jewish Palestine. His report is in Himmler's Archives. (440-447)
One peculiar fact about Eichmann was confusing to many Israelis. When brought to Israel for trial, he could speak a little Hebrew and in fact, recited some Hebrew blessings. In 1937, he visited Palestine and coordinated his tour with the leaders of the Jewish Agency. Those contacts turned into the most embarrassing episode in Labor Jewish history, though their murder of Yitzhak Rabin is destined to supercede it.
In 1952, a Hungarian-born Israeli journalist, Malchiel Greenwald, accused a high-ranking Labor Party official, Rudolph Kastner, of working hand in hand with Eichmann to murder 800,000 Hungarian Jews, while saving several hundred of his own family and associates.
It was Ben Hecht, in 1962, who exposed the Greenwald trial in his classic book, Perfidy. The following report is mostly based on Perfidy, and though lengthy, summarizes the main issues:
http://www.aldeilis.net/zion/zionhol03.html
Dr. Rudolf Verba, a Doctor of Science now serving at the British Medical Research Council, was one of the few escapees from Auschwitz. In his memoirs published in February, 1961, in the London Daily Herald, he wrote:
I am a Jew. In spite of that - indeed because of that - I accuse certain Jewish leaders of one of the most ghastly deeds of the war.
This small group of quislings knew what was happening to their brethren in Hitler's gas chambers and bought their own lives with the price of silence. Among them was Dr. Kastner, leader of the council which spoke for all Jews in Hungary. While I was prisoner number 44070 at Auschwitz - the number is still on my arm - I compiled careful statistics of the exterminations...I took these terrible statistics with me when I escaped in 1944 and I was able to give Hungarian Zionist leaders three weeks notice that Eichmann planned to send a million of their Jews to his gas chambers...Kastner went to Eichmann and told him, 'I know of your plans; spare some Jews of my choice and I shall keep quiet.'
Eichmann not only agreed, but dressed Kastner up in S.S. uniform and took him to Belsen to trace some of his friends. Nor did the sordid bargaining end there.
Kastner paid Eichmann several thousand dollars. With this little fortune, Eichmann was able to buy his way to freedom when Germany collapsed, to set himself up in the Argentine...(Ben Hecht, Perfidy, pp261-2)
These accusations are confirmed by the 'Eichmann Confessions' published in Life magazine, 28 November and 5 December 1960:
"Dr. Kastner's main concern was to make it possible for a select group of Hungarian Jews to emigrate to Israel...
As a matter of fact, there was a very strong similarity between our attitudes in the S.S. and the viewpoint of these immensely idealistic Zionist leaders....I believe that Kastner would have sacrificed a thousand or a hundred thousand of his blood to achieve his political goal...'You can have the others', he would say, 'but let me have this group here'.'
The Verdict
Let the verdict of Judge Benjamin Halevi (who later became one of the panel of three judges that tried Eichmann) in Israel's District Court of Jerusalem speak for itself, given in criminal case No. 124 of 1953. The Attorney General v. Malchiel Greenwald. This material should be studied carefully.
The masses of Jews from Hungary's ghettos obediently boarded the deportation trains without knowing their fate. They were full of confidence in the false information that they were being transferred to Kenyermeze.
The Nazis could not have misled the masses of Jews so conclusively had they not spread their false information through Jewish channels..The Nazi organizers of extermination and the perpetrators of extermination permitted Rudolf Kastner and the members of the Jewish Council in Budapest to save themselves, their relatives, and friends...The Nazi chiefs knew that the Zionists were a most vital element in Jewry and the most trusted by the Jews.
This meeting of these important German guests in Budapest exposes the 'rescue' work of Becher in its true light. It reveals also the extent of Kastner's involvement in the inner circle of the chief German war criminals...
Just as the Nazi war criminals knew they needed an alibi and hoped to achieve it by the rescue of a few Jews at the eleventh hour, so Kastner also needed an alibi for himself.
Collaboration between the Jewish Agency Rescue Committee and the Exterminators of the Jews was solidified in Budapest and Vienna. Kastner's duties were part and parcel of the general duties of the S.S.
At the appeal hearings before the Supreme Court, the Attorney General of Israel, Chaim Cohen, explained clearly why the Government of Israel was defending Kastner so strongly:
The man Kastner does not stand here as a private individual. He was a recognized representative, official or non-official of the Jewish National Institutes in Palestine and of the Zionist Executive; and I come here in this court to defend the representative of our national institutions." (Hecht, p. 268)
The truth of this statement cannot be denied. Kastner's collaboration was not that of an individual. It was the collaboration of the Zionist leadership.
So far, it has only been established that the Government of Israel continued to support a Nazi collaborator after the facts about his collaboration had been conclusively established in an Israeli court. But the story gets worse.
The Supreme Court of Israel unanimously found that Becher was indeed a Nazi war criminal and that Kastner had without justification, and in the name of the Jewish Agency, helped Becher to escape justice. On this point Greenwald was acquitted of libel and Kastner was not 'fully rehabilitated'.
The Supreme Court also accepted the
facts established in the lower court - that Kastner
deliberately concealed the truth about Auschwitz from the majority of Hungarian Jews in exchange for Nazi permission to take a thousand or so to Palestine. Again, Kastner was far from being 'fully rehabilitated'.
The Majority Judgement
But now comes the really nasty bit. After unanimously acknowledging these
facts, the Supreme Court of Israel, by a majority of three to two, found that Kastner's actions were
morally justifiable and convicted Greenwald of criminal libel for calling this 'collaboration'.
Kastner's actions only proved that
he was a Nazi collaborator. It is the defense of these actions by the Government and Courts of Israel that prove conclusively that
Zionism approves of Nazi collaboration.
The majority of the Supreme Court of Israel did not
rehabilitate Kastner. They
joined him.
The Labor government of Israel had to exonerate Kastner because its very founders were just as guilty of slaying European Jews as he. According to Rabbi Joel Brandt, Eichmann had offered to save all 800,000 Hungarian Jews in return for 700 trucks. Brandt contacted the man who would become Israel's second prime minister, Moshe Sharett in Aleppo, where Sharett had him arrested by the British. But the worst of the lot was the chairman of the Jewish Agency, Chaim Weizmann:
Chaim Weizmann, the Zionist leader who had arranged the Balfour Declaration and was to become the first president of Israel, made this Zionist policy very explicit:
"The hopes of Europe's six million Jews are centered on emigration. I was asked: 'Can you bring six million Jews to Palestine?' I replied, 'No.' ... From the depths of the tragedy I want to save ... young people [for Palestine]. The old ones will pass. They will bear their fate or they will not. They are dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world. ... Only the branch of the young shall survive. They have to accept it."
The cover-up of the Hungarian sellout of the Jews by the Labor Zionists meant hushing those who knew too much about it from the inside. Kastner was murdered in a hospital bed by the Israeli internal secret services. I offer new eye-witness testimony to the murder in my book, Save Israel!. Great pains were taken to kidnap Eichmann and get him under control.
And there was another person who knew way too much for his own good. He was Raoul Wallenberg. No one did as much as this Swedish diplomat to save Hungarian Jewry and he was rewarded for learning too much by being "disappeared" by the Russian liberators of Hungary. Only the Jewish Agency would have benefited from his silence.
We return to 1933. There are two branches of Zionism meeting in Prague. News of the transfer agreement with the Nazis by the Labor Zionist leadership has emerged. The moral branch of Zionism, led by the great Zeev Jabotinsky, is threatening to expose the atrocity to world Jewry. But Labor's negotiator with the Nazis over the agreement, Chaim Arlozorov, is murdered on a Tel Aviv beach. A la Rabin, Jabotinsky's followers are falsely accused of the murder and are ejected from the Jewish Agency. The Labor Zionists then proceeded with their cooperation with the Nazis and six million Jews later, got their state.
What makes today's events all the more confusing is that Israel's prime minister knows all about the Holocaust, yet is determined to lead his country into another:
http://www.ahavat-israel.com/ahavat/protest/shoa.asp
About a year before becoming Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon made an interesting comment. He said that if Zeev Jabotinsky would have been the head of the Jewish Agency instead of David Ben-Gurion, millions of Jews would have been saved from death during the Holocaust. Immediately afterwards, leftist politicians told Sharon he should apologize for having said this. To which Sharon replied, "I was there and I know what happened, if you want we can debate about it in public." No further comments from the left were heard.
And now back to Makow's core error, parroted by vicious anti-semites worldwide. The main thrust is that evil Sharon and wicked Bush have guided America and her allies into quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not many Hungarian Jews survived the Holocaust, and the ones who did were enormously lucky or had friends in the Jewish Agency. Here is what one such survivor had to say about Sharon:
On November 7th, Jewish multibillionaire financier George Soros, speaking to a Jewish audience in New York said: “the policies of the Sharon Administration …. are contributing to a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe.”
So let's get this straight: As a reward for conspiring with Bush, Israel gets the following rewards; The Roadmap to suicide, the right to tear down dozens of villages, the joy of turning 8000 Gazan Jews into refugees, the thrill of retreating to undefendable borders and, as the icing on the cupcake, our capital city gets to experience the subtle splendor of division.
Now let us make this most obvious point: We are getting just as screwed as the Arabs.
The problem is we are prepared to say that, and the Arabs are just too pig-headed and bloodthirsty to make the same admission. We were all divvied up by the British, placed in artificial nations and given leaders we didn't want.
But unlike the Arabs who were moved all around the Middle East at the whim of the imperialists, the Jews were manipulated into their historic and rightful homeland. How we got there is the injustice, that we are is not.
And now the simplest point of all: The Israeli Labor Zionists. often called, generically, the Left, the same monsters who brought us Kastner, Weizmann and the Holocaust, are the same folks who brought us Oslo and the "peace process."
Which brings us to the only conclusion possible. By rejecting the Labor Zionists, true, ethical and good Judaism is triumphing in Israel. Today, the Labor Party boasts only 18 seats of 120 in the Knesset. In the last election, 67% of the country voted Sharon, deluding themselves that he was a rejection of all that Labor Zionism stood for.
Alas, as I knew then, he was not. He was born a Labor Zionist and will lead his nation back to its Sabbataian roots. However, because the elected governing majority is solidly opposed to the current diplomacy, now focused on the Gaza surrender, typical Labor methods must be used to get their way. As I have proven in my two previous articles, that means murdering the Jewish opposition. The hit list has included the most revered rabbis of Yesha. One more brave family member has come forward with his belief that Jews are being murdered by Jews in the name of "peace."
Apropos the Ra'anan murder in 1998: His youngest son, Michael is married to my daughter. After the funeral, I poked around the charred caravan, and around the back. The caravan was situated on a small cliff edge so that for the murderer to have gotten into the window, he had to have either brought a step-ladder or an accomplice to give him a liftup. I go for the latter, since the murderer was able to stab Rav Ra'anan and then set fire to the place. On the assumption that something more than a 2 litre soft-drink bottle would be needed, he would probably have needed someone to hand him the petrol or kerosene through the window. One way or the other, it was a setup job.A few years later, Zahal claimed to have captured "the" perpetrator. And I say, baloney. They caught (or did not) a fake. "Tik sagur". My son-in-law and daughter were so traumatized by the event, that they were not terribly interested in my observations - in my opinion, they are also being have a similar syndrome to my late in-laws who did not want to talk about their experience in concentration camp.
And that is where the Makow world is upside down. The leaders of the Israeli Left, the "peacemakers" are the self-same murderers who let a Holocaust go on to get their way and then covered it up for all time. And now the very same gang is murdering a new generation of Jews, many who wear kippas or others who live on the land of their forefathers. If real peace ever comes to Israel, it will have to be achieved by negotiating directly with them. They're the only moral game in town.
