Israeli Accusations of Anti-Semitism
are Admissions of Guilt
When Swedish Foreign
Minister Margot Wallstrom called for an investigation
of whether Israel is carrying out extra-judicial killings of Palestinian
attackers, Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli Minister of national infrastructure,
energy and water accused her of being “anti-Semitic.” Other officials called the allegations
“scandalous” and “detached from reality,” but no one denied that extra-judicial
killings were taking place. Attacks on and insults directed toward accusers is
not the same as denying the charges.
Let’s start with the fact that
Baruch Goldstein, an American-born (raised and educated in Brooklyn) doctor,
entered a Mosque in Hebron, opened fire killing 29 Palestinian worshippers and
wounding another 125 before being beaten to death. Before the massacre, Goldstein had refused to
treat Arabs, even Arab members of the Israel Defense Forces, claiming it was a against his Jewish faith. He was not arrested or removed from
his position for bias. In the rioting that followed Goldstein’s attack, Israel
Defense Forces killed another 25 Palestinians although 5 Israelis also died. Seeing as American tax dollars subsidized
Goldstein’s medical education, that he then took and used in clear violation of
his Hippocratic Oath, but nothing was done before he deliberately massacred
Moslems.
Although Israel tried to call
Palestinian attacks “acts of terror,” others see them as valid attempts to
liberate the land that the vast majority of countries in the United Nations
consider illegally occupied territory.
Israel was created by the
United Nations primarily in response to American pressure generated by
President Harry Truman’s re-election needs.
The Haganah troops that won the war for Independence were
trained and financed in secret in the Maine woods. Jewish troops had also been organized and
trained to fight on the allied side in World War II. Israelis, educated white
people who had combat experience, easily overmatched Arabs who were basically
illiterate and ill-equipped.
France then supplied Israel
with its arms and atomic energy progam. The Israeli Air Force that won the Six Day
War in 1967 was trained in France by the French and Americans. Lyndon Johnson, while posturing as an
impartial arbiter in the month before the war, secretly supplied Israel with
200 tanks to ensure a swift and complete victory.
Then, once in possession of
the West Bank, Israel has the gall to claim it was given to them by God and
that the Palestinians have no right to be there. Israel is a racist country. When Palestinians call for the destruction of
the Zionist Entity they are calling for the end of the Jewish State of Israel,
not the killing of Jews. Neither the
Balfour Declaration nor the United Nations Resolution recognizing the State of
Israel called for a Jewish State of Israel.
The Jewish fundamentalist state of Israel is a major reason for the rise
of Moslem fundamentalism.
The Israelis are always
engaged in mission creep. The land they
were given by the United Nations was not enough. Israel sought lebensraum after every
war. Israel’s response has always been
to take more of whatever it wanted. This
is especially true in religion, where Israel has hijacked the Jewish Faith and
defined it as Zionism.
Netanyahu accuses the United
States of having made a strategic error by negotiating with Iran over its
nuclear program. The strategic error was
made by Israel, when it switched its domestic American political base from the
Jews to the fundamentalist Christians.
Further, the Israeli alignment with the war-mongering Republicans and
the clear insult to Obama by accepting the Republican invitation to address
Congress without informing the White House was a mistake of historic
proportions.
The fact is that, whether or not Israel is a racist
country, neither Netanyahu nor Ambassador Ron Dermer,
both of whom spent considerable time growing up in the United States, have any
black friends from their youth. (And Ron’s dad was mayor of Miami.)
Extra-judicial killing has
been part and parcel of Israeli security policy since the time it decided that
the land of Israel was given to Jews by God.
Israel is not a democratic state.
