AIPAC Policy Conference 2005 is in session in D.C. as I write this message. Both party leaders of both the House and Senate arescheduled tospeak, as are Condi Rice and Hillary Clinton.There will be little mention in the corporate media of this wholesale sellout of Capitol Hill to the Zionists. It is up to us Nationalists to get the word out to the general public. The outcome of this semi-secret meeting of Israel-firstersis that Bush will be under intense pressure from Ariel Sharon and his henchmen to attack Iran. Usually, transcripts of all the traitorous speeches delivered by our fawning government leaders at this annual event are made available at www.aipac.org within two or three weeks after the conference concludes. Please be sure and read every one of them.

One thing different about this AIPAC shindig is that there is a widely publicized demonstrationoutside the conventionthat was scheduled to take place today. The corporate media won't cover it but Internet news organizations will. I'm looking forward to finding out what kind of turnout there was. If ever an organization needed to be exposed and denounced in the strongest possible terms it is this one.

White Americans must come to the realization that we don't simply have a Zionist problem in this country, what we have is a Jewish problem. It is certainly true that Zionism is a destructive ideology but there are Jews that don't consider themselves Zionists. It is world Jewry in general that is an enemy to our race and nation.I don't make a distinction between good Jews and bad Jews. All jews are the enemy of the Aryan race.

I now view them as Ernst Zundel does. In his book "Letters from Cell No. 7" (the title is SOMETHING like that) he says that he has decided that they fit the profile of "criminal psychopaths ". He also refers to thim as "the enemy of mankind". I would have to agree. They are not ONLY the enemy of the Aryan race....they are the enemy of ALL MANKIND.
Read about what they do daily, in Israel, to the Palestinians. That, no doubt, is what they would like to do to us also.
How a group of people with only a world wide population of something like 18 million can get away with all of this is comletely beyond me. Why is no one standing up to their outrages?

If anyone thinks thatthe Bible teaches that Jews in modern times have a right to their ancient homeland, they should read the article titled “Israel, God’s Chosen or the Antichrist” under the “Religion and Spirituality” forum topic of this website.

In order to have any of my letters published inthe local (Jewish owned) newspaper, I need to avoid any use of the word Jew or its variations.Occasionally I manage to sneak the word Zionist past the editor.But I agree with those who say we have a Jewish problem in America, not just a Zionist problem. One of the Forefathers--was it Washington, Jefferson or Franklin?--referred to Jews as the Devil's children. At age 83 I can claim to have had many relationships with Jews under countless circumstances--as childhood playmates, high-school classmates, barracks buddies, co-workers, bosses and club members. I've never met a Jew who--when goaded into showing his true colors--wasn't condescending and arrogant to a fault. In my opinion, a Jew has no conscience or sense of shame.He therefore cannot be insulted when accused of lacking ethics, morals and scruples. Although Jews account for less than three percent of the American population, they exercise influence over our lives that is all out of proportion to their numbers. E.g., more than half of American billionaires are Jews. The real irony is that the problems Jews don't directly create, they generate indirectly by instigating friction between Whites and all the non-Jewish minorities. It's the old game of divide and conquer. I am convinced their ultimate goal is to attain total dominance over the vast Gentile majority. But that will happen only over my dead body.

Hi Tom,Originally Posted by Tom Keith
I vehemently agree. I do not understand how a "Christian" could misconstrue the "chosen", Jesus's denunciations against them, their documented perfidious deeds against all of their host nations over the course of history, & then place the jews upon a pedestal.
It is the most convoluted error in thinking I can recall.
I have come tobelieve that ,if thejews truly are God's chosen, then I can understanda personchoosing atheism as a credo.

Tom & Ragin,
A devout Christian friend of mine says, "If the Jews are the chosen people, and they are going to go to heaven, then I choose to go to hell." I couldn't agree more.

I always refer to the Jewish lobbies as the largest of the elephants in the living room. Actually, there are several other elephants, but the AIPAC-ADL elephant is the one on steroids.
Regarding the Jewish lobbies, Joseph Sobran has written that, in politics, it is the first thing you must learn and the last thing you must talk about.

As you know, I usually provide the scientific and technological "entertainment" in our meetings, but, on this occasion, our Chairman suggested that I present my own personal view on events in the part of the world from which I come. I have never been and I will never be a Government official and I have no privileged information. My perspective is entirely based on what I see, on what I read and on the fact that my family has lived in this region for almost 200 years. You may regard my views as those of the proverbial taxi driver, which you are supposed to question, when you visit a country.
I could have shared with you some fascinating facts and some personal thoughts about the Israeli-Arab conflict. However, I will touch upon it only in passing. I prefer to devote most of my remarks to the broader picture of the region and its place in world events. I refer to the entire area between <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:country-region><st1
lace>Pakistan</st1
lace></st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region><st1
lace>Morocco</st1
lace></st1:country-region>, which is predominantly Arab, predominantly Moslem, but includes many non-Arab and also significant non-Moslem minorities.
Why do I put aside <st1:country-region><st1lace>Israel</st1
lace></st1:country-region> and its own immediate neighborhood? Because <st1:country-region><st1
lace>Israel</st1
lace></st1:country-region> and any problems related to it, in spite of what you might read or hear in the world media, is not the central issue, and has never been the central issue in the upheaval in the region. Yes, there is a 100 year-old Israeli-Arab conflict, but it is not where the main show is. The millions who died in the Iran-Iraq war had nothing to do with <st1:country-region><st1
lace>Israel</st1
lace></st1:country-region>. The mass murder happening right now in <st1:country-region><st1
lace>Sudan</st1
lace></st1:country-region>, where the Arab Moslem regime is massacring its black Christian citizens, has nothing to do with <st1:country-region><st1
lace>Israel</st1
lace></st1:country-region>. The frequent reports from <st1:country-region><st1
lace>Algeria</st1
lace></st1:country-region> about the murders of hundreds of civilian in one village or another by other Algerians have nothing to do with <st1:country-region><st1

lace>Israel</st1
lace></st1:country-region>, and I could go on and on and on.
The root of the trouble is that this entire Moslem region is totally dysfunctional, by any standard of the word, and would have been so even if <st1:country-region><st1lace>Israel</st1

By the age of 58 a country - like a man - should have achieved a certain maturity. After nearly six decades of existence we know, for good and for bad, who we are, what we have done and how we appear to others, warts and all. We acknowledge, however reluctantly and privately, our mistakes and our shortcomings. And though we still harbor the occasional illusion about ourselves and our prospects, we are wise enough to recognize that these are indeed for the most part just that: illusions. In short, we are adults.
But the State of Israel remains curiously (and among Western-style democracies, uniquely) immature. The social transformations of the country - and its many economic achievements - have not brought the political wisdom that usually accompanies age. Seen from the outside, Israel still comports itself like an adolescent: consumed by a brittle confidence in its own uniqueness; certain that no one "understands" it and everyone is "against" it; full of wounded self-esteem, quick to take offense and quick to give it. Like many adolescents Israel is convinced - and makes a point of aggressively and repeatedly asserting - that it can do as it wishes, that its actions carry no consequences and that it is immortal. Appropriately enough, this country that has somehow failed to grow up was until very recently still in the hands of a generation of men who were prominent in its public affairs 40 years ago: an Israeli Rip Van Winkle who fell asleep in, say, 1967 would be surprised indeed to awake in 2006 and find Shimon Peres and General Ariel Sharon still hovering over the affairs of the country - the latter albeit only in spirit.
But that, Israeli readers will tell me, is the prejudiced view of the outsider. What looks from abroad like a self-indulgent, wayward country - delinquent in its international obligations and resentfully indifferent to world opinion - is simply an independent little state doing what it has always done: looking after its own interests in an inhospitable part of the globe. Why should embattled Israel even acknowledge such foreign criticism, much less act upon it? They - gentiles, Muslims, leftists - have reasons of their own for disliking Israel. They - Europeans, Arabs, fascists - have always singled out Israel for special criticism. Their motives are timeless. They haven't changed. Why should Israel change?
But they have changed. And it is this change, which has passed largely unrecognized within Israel, to which I want to draw attention here. Before 1967 the State of Israel may have been tiny and embattled, but it was not typically hated: certainly not in the West. Official Soviet-bloc communism was anti-Zionist of course, but for just that reason Israel was rather well regarded by everyone else, including the non-communist left. The romantic image of the kibbutz and the kibbutznik had a broad foreign appeal in the first two decades of Israel's existence. Most admirers of Israel (Jews and non-Jews) knew little about the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe) of 1948. They preferred to see in the Jewish state the last surviving incarnation of the 19th century idyll of agrarian socialism - or else a paragon of modernizing energy "making the desert bloom."
I remember well, in the spring of 1967, how the balance of student opinion at Cambridge University was overwhelmingly pro-Israel in the weeks leading up to the Six-Day War - and how little attention anyone paid either to the condition of the Palestinians or to Israel's earlier collusion with France and Britain in the disastrous Suez adventure of 1956. In politics and in policy-making circles only old-fashioned conservative Arabists expressed any criticism of the Jewish state; even neo-Fascists rather favored Zionism, on traditional anti-Semitic grounds.
For a while after the 1967 war these sentiments continued unaltered. The pro-Palestinian enthusiasms of post-1960s radical groups and nationalist movements, reflected in joint training camps and shared projects for terrorist attacks, were offset by the growing international acknowledgment of the Holocaust in education and the media: What Israel lost by its continuing occupation of Arab lands it gained through its close identification with the recovered memory of Europe's dead Jews. Even the inauguration of the illegal settlements and the disastrous invasion of Lebanon, while they strengthened the arguments of Israel's critics, did not yet shift the international balance of opinion. As recently as the early 1990s, most people in the world were only vaguely aware of the "West Bank" and what was happening there. Even those who pressed the Palestinians' case in international forums conceded that almost no one was listening. Israel could still do as it wished.
The Israeli nakba
But today everything is different. We can see, in retrospect, that the victory of Israel in June 1967 and its continuing occupation of the territories it conquered then have been the Jewish state's very own nakba: a moral and political catastrophe. Israel's actions in the West Bank and Gaza have magnified and publicized the country's shortcomings and displayed them to a watching world. Curfews, checkpoints, bulldozers, public humiliations, home destructions, land seizures, shootings, "targeted assassinations," the separation fence: All of these routines of occupation and repression were once familiar only to an informed minority of specialists and activists. Today they can be watched, in real time, by anyone with a computer or a satellite dish - which means that Israel's behavior is under daily scrutiny by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The result has been a complete transformation in the international view of Israel. </TD></TR></T></T></TABLE>

Well done nelson.
Little by little, the opinion of people has change regarding Israel and It think Israel's days are numbered. I'm not saying that it's going to go under tomorrow morning, but it's going down. The revolutionary spirit that the Jews of thelate 19th and ealy 20th century is gone in Israel and what is left isn't pretty. Nobody can build on a foundation such as the Balfour Declaration and hope that what they build will be stable. It just can't be done.
For years I wassupporter of Israel (just like it says in the article), but when I finallystarted looking deeply intojust how the Jewish state came about, I saw what the Palestinians were talking about.

Below are some rarely-mentioned facts about the relationship between Zionism and modern-day terrorism:
1. The first aircraft hijacking was carried out by Israel in 1954 against a Syrian civilian airliner.
2. Grenades in cafes: first used by Zionists against Palestinians in Jerusalem on 17 March 1937.
3. Delayed-action, electrically timed mines in crowded marketplaces: first used by Zionists against Palestinians in Haifa on 6 July 1938.
4. Blowing up a ship with its civilian passengers still on board: first carried out by Zionists in Haifa on 25 November 1940. The Zionists did not hesitate to blow up their own people in protest at the British policy of restricting Jewish immigration to Palestine. The ship, Patria, was carrying 1,700 Jewish immigrants.
5. Assassination of government officials: first carried out by the Zionists against the British in Cairo, when on 6 November 1944 Lord Moyne was assassinated by the Stern Gang. Yitzhak Shamir, a member of the Irgun and later leader of the Stern Gang and Israeli prime minister, was behind the plan.
6. Use of hostages as a means of putting pressure on a government: first used by the Zionists against the British in Tel Aviv on 18 June 1946.

If Israel can exist only by destroying the neighborhood, then it's time
to declare it a failed state. The Zionist dream has turned into a
nightmare and is not viable. If the future holds more of the same, then
the time has come to reconsider the whole project. Every state has a duty
to defend its citizens, but also it has a duty to provide them with
security and the two are different. The prospects are for more
destruction, fanaticism, violence and hatred. No unilateral separation can
isolate Israel from this, nor can the region or the world live with the
consequences. This seems to be the only choice, and Israel must do itself
and others a favor and go away.

The war on terror is a false metaphor that has led to counterproductive
and self-defeating policies. Five years after 9/11, a misleading figure of
speech applied literally has unleashed a real war fought on several fronts
-- Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia -- a war that has killed
thousands of innocent civilians and enraged millions around the world. Yet
al Qaeda has not been subdued; a plot that could have claimed more victims
than 9/11 has just been foiled by the vigilance of British intelligence.
Unfortunately, the "war on terror" metaphor was uncritically accepted by
the American public as the obvious response to 9/11.

Every year, thousands of tourists from around the world take a long
flight across the South Pacific to see the famous stone statues of Easter
Island. Since 1722, when the first Europeans arrived, these megalithic
figures, or moai, have intrigued visitors. Interest in how these artifacts
were built and moved led to another puzzling question: What happened to
the people who created them? In the prevailing account of the island's
past, the native inhabitants — who refer to themselves as the Rapanui and
to the island as Rapa Nui — once had a large and thriving society, but
they doomed themselves by degrading their environment.... I believe that
there is substantial evidence that it was rats, more so than humans, that
led to deforestation.

President Bush recently said that it was necessary to get to "the root
of the problem" in Lebanon. By this, Bush certainly did not mean Israel's
18-year occupation of south Lebanon that created Hezbollah following the
1982 invasion. Nor did he mean Israel's 39-year-plus occupation in
Palestine. For him, the problem is Hezbollah's nature as a "terrorist
organization," which is how it is framed in most of the American media....
The Israeli government and the Bush administration both suffer from the
foolish illusion (one easy to understand among warmongers in Washington
who have never been near a battlefield) that war is the solution to
problems in the Middle East. </font></td></tr></t></table></span><!--

Acouple of things.
The Lebanese govt. has some gall calling anybody a traitor. Their country was invaded and they didn't commit their army to action and let Hezbollah do all the fighting.
The Zionists broke the truce and now are saying they won'thand over the territory to any UN troops of countries that don't have diplomatic relations with them. What a bunch of baloney. That's another violation of the cease fire, their second.
I hope I live long enough to see the end of that lousy country.
Zionists breaking a truce? Impossible!
Dan Rather many years ago described Soviet foriegn policy as "What's mine is mine. Everything else is up for grabs" (not too bad for a liberal TV anchorman)
But the comment fits modern Kibbutzland. We have our own special rules 'cause we're so SPECIAL! Why, we're God's Chosen People and we can pillage whom we please.
If the Turks were worth a poop they would invade Lebby-non from the North and give themselves a border with Kibbutzland ... and they would become RELEVANT! But a modern day Mustafaa Kemal (Ataturk) is nowhere to be found
