Just Imagine If the Northern Press Hadn’t Covered the Civil Rights Struggle…

I love Haaretz, it is covering clashes between twisted sicko Jewish colonialists in Hebron trying to disrupt the Palestinian olive harvest and international press/volunteers. Photographers were injured, slightly, so was a British woman trying to help. An international effort, and the American press is of course afraid. Where is Nightly News? Haaretz understands the crisis of soul that its society is in. So does the British Christian lady, so does David Bloom who sent me this.  So does Anna Baltzer who talked last night in the Hudson Valley. So does Joel Kovel who introduced her. Kovel has written about "state-sponsored racism."

I got a call from Steve F the other day and said to him, "Pogroms, Steve, pogroms." "Really, do you think so?" The longer American Jews– the beneficiaries of great civil motions to end pogroms; you should see the beautiful houses that Steve and I live in– lie to themselves about what's going on in their name, the greater the chasm of suffering we are walking down into…

By the way, Baltzer said that the vast majority of Jewish settlers are subsidized by the Israeli government. Can some wise commenter supply "the gen," as Hem used to say (I'm being pretentious: intelligence, Hemingway).

    Why is it surprising that most Jews are indifferent to the sufferings of the Palestinians? The history of the Jews shows
    a consistent pattern of hostility to the goyim, as Israel Shahak has amply demonstrated.

  2. MM says:

    Yeah we need some gen on this. Quick.

    The settlement builders are all Israelis, Israeli citizens receive a variety of American, Israeli, and other subsidies, Israel controls militarily the land where it occurs, The Israeli Supreme Court rules on cases including settlements thus including them in its juridiction, Israeli utilities and services are extended to the settlements, Israeli flags are flown and the Israeli the settlers vote in Israeli elections…

    Holy res ipsa loquitur zio-man!!!

    I think Israel might just be colonizing!

    Is it the world's first paperless colonization?

    No record of anything!

    Just… happened. A fact on the ground.

    Works for me.

    When there's good and evil in the world…
    Who has time to prove things anyway? Who cares if some guy named Osama Bin Laden actually paid for everything that took place for "9/11" to occur?

    Not me!

    Faith-based inquiry, Phil. That is the path. Let it lead your heart to an holy city, undivided (besides the huge wall), and pray with your American brethren–

    O first among the terrorist slayers, Nation of nations,
    Deliver us from truth, and lead us unto Zion!

    About this anti-semitism thing , think of it this way, you jews who are afraid. many of you are raised by your culture to fear and despise gentiles. are you going to contribute to gentile society in a benign and responsible way? if i really felt that way, i wouldn't. gentiles notice this attitude, it shows,( in some cases). it could be appearing( i'm not saying it is) in the number of jews ripping off the financial system. ( and rip-offs are certainly not confined to jews obviously.)

    this attitude problem turns up in other disaffected groups. the more power jews accumulate, the more resentment will grow, if they don't use their power for the common good. so look around and notice that the anti-semitism business is common sense. if there is any, it can be remedied easily.

    "are you going to contribute to gentile society in a benign and responsible way?"

    I don't want "Jews" to contribute to "gentile" society any more than I, as a "gentile," want to contribute to a "Jewish" society. Let's be through with the respective societies altogether, and become one society working together in everyone's interest, respecting our cultural backgrounds but not allowing them to define us or to take away in any fashion from our larger human society.

  5. Doppler says:

    Peters and higginslads have put their finger on the key issues: are we one society or multiple ones, and do we treat everyone in good faith, or only those within our own subculture? And the issue can be further subdivided into subissues: economics, politics, housing, work, school, marriage, etc. We certainly worship in subgroups, if we worship. Perhaps we can see ourselves as part of a subculture for marriage and school. But if we extend the subgroup thinking into work, economic, housing and political arenas, those who are excluded from our subgroup have no reason to regard us as dealing with them in good faith, unless we are trying to deceive them about our bona fides, in which case we are frauds, and deserve to be disgraced.

  8. American says:

    For several years now I have been mailing various authors asking someone to do a book on "Hyphen-America".

    You know the hyphens…Jewish- Americans, Hispanic- Americans, Asian-Americans, African-Americans, Latin-Americans…so far I don't see any references to European-Americans or British Americans or French-Americans or German-Americans applied to politics or marketing. Wonder why that is?

    Anyway, the hyphening of America and the pandering to the hyphens is what is going to finally destroy the US, if it hasn't already.

    That's why I just go by the plain name American…even though it has no meaning to the hyphens.

  9. peters says:

    higgenslad,
    of course, you are right. what was behind my construction though was the awareness that it is jews who MAKE it gentile society. if they didn't define themselves as separate, it would just be 'society'.

    The term Gentile (from Latin, gentilis, meaning of or belonging to a clan or tribe) refers to non-Israelite tribes or nations in the Bible

    By 2042 the term "European-American" will be commonplace in the USA's MSM.

  12. anon says:

    The United States says Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank threaten any peace between Israel and the Palestinians — yet it also encourages Americans to help support settlers by offering tax breaks on donations. These exemptions for "charity" are in addition to Israel's direct funding, itself funded by the USA's direct and stringless cash support or annual welfare check.

    Its not an issue in the presidential campaign despite the plight of the USA's bankruptcy.

    Kovel's take on The Israel Lobby:

  14. Todd says:

    I don't see a comparison between the Civil Rights era in the U.S. and Israel making outright war on Palestinians in order to drive them from land and homes. Be honest, Phil.

    Multiculturalism shows no signs of working, and assimilation is not a goal of Jews or any other group. At this point, what would outsiders assimilate to? What are people who deny that America has any culture or direct origins going to assimilate to?

    Shouldn't Jews just be discredited and locked out of the process once their ideas have failed? Isn't that how it works? When will we hear about the evil "old Jewish men" who followed the evil "old white men"?

    You already can, just youtube The Great Schlep.

    Not per se, but American/zionist media-neocolonial complex has fortunately peppered the debate with a variety of relevant questions.

    Such as:

    What is scarier, invading Iran or letting Iran get a nuclear weapon? (1)

    What is scarier, injecting trillions into a corrupt and failing financial system, or a COMPLETE MELTDOWN by THE END OF NEXT WEEK?

    What's scarier, meeting with America's ENEMIES, or admitting you might even be thinking of doing something as dangerous as that?

    What's scarier, Pakistan …or PAKISTAN?

    What's scarier, the son of an African Muslim running for president of the U.S.A., or the Hugo Chavez running for secret governor of Aztlan?

    What's scarier, no health care or GOVERNMENT health care?

    What's scarier, you losing your house, or Terrorism Professor Ayers' surrogate getting the White House? (2)

    What's scarier, total surveillance society or reruns of '24'?

    —-
    (1) For Americans and Israelis' sons and daughters, the answer is A.

    (2) One not necessarily precluding the other.

  17. anon says:

    Where will get the moral outcry against the moral hazard regarding both our financial system and our foreign policy system?

    The Talmud? The Torah? The Mishna? And/or, the role of Jesus, and/or the founding fathers?

    Where is the USA's moral center?

  18. anon says:

    "At this point, what would outsiders assimilate to? What are people who deny that America has any culture or direct origins going to assimilate to? "

    This is a very good point. With dead white (WASP) males left adrift in their equally dead Federalist Papers et al, where are we going?

    Looks to me like we are using Israel as our Model.
