"Israeli historian Benny Morris...sees Palestinians -- and to a degree, all Arabs and Iranians, too -- as a species of animals not yet inducted into full humanity. Thus in a well-known interview with Ari Shavit, published in Haaretz on January 5, 2004, Morris described the Israeli problem with the Palestinians:

"Something like a cage has to be built for them. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another."

In the years since Benny Morris spoke those words, the construction of the Israeli wall in the West Bank, and the blockade of Gaza by land, sea, and air have created the cage he believed was necessary."

-- David Bromwich

Mr. Morris was merely restating the tradititional Zionist position of the past century, and there is no excuse for "liberals" who feign surprise or ignorance of that policy while giving the Jewish State their tacit support.

After all, it was 85 years ago when Zionist militant Zeev Jabotinsky, the godfather of today's World Likud movement, wrote "The Iron Wall" describing this policy. And it was centuries ago when the Talmudist rabbis reduced all non-Jews to sub-human status, as taught today in Zionist yeshivas like Mercaz HaRav.

Small wonder that Morris "writes as a man in possession of a racial and religious knowledge that is superior to evidence", as Bromwich puts it. It is their tradition.

UPDATE: Here's another excellent commentary on the apocalyptic rantings of Benny Morris.

"The same cancer that bankrupted the Soviet Union and the early Russian Federation, namely the Russian-Israeli Mafia -- the global organized crime syndicate that uses Israeli government protection and passports to cover their illegal worldwide activities -- has so thoroughly permeated the American political and business system that the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies are virtually powerless to bring the major perpetrators to justice.

Across the United States, FBI agents have been hamstrung by the Justice and Homeland Security Departments, led by two individuals, Michael Mukasey and Michael Chertoff, whose close links to the Russian-Israeli Mafia in New York and New Jersey have seen case after case involving Russian-Israeli mobsters going un-investigated and virtually ignored." -- Wayne Madsen

Note that both Mukasey and Chertoff are hard-core Talmudist Jews, whose only real loyalty is to Zionism and their "fellow Jews". Everything they do is subordinate to that overriding cause, and impossible to understand otherwise. The article focuses on the criminal element, which is only the tip of the iceberg.

What about the "legitimate" Zionist oligarchs like the Bronfmans of Canada and their World Jewish Congress whose agents are pushing the "Iran War Resolution" through the U.S. Congress at this moment for the benefit of the Jewish State?

If you want to understand the background of "religious Zionism" then read through some of our previous comments and follow the links to their own words on the subject.

The Neturei Karta movement of Orthodox Jews has repeatedly condemned the illegal and immoral actions of the Zionist regime in Israel and its worldwide supporters. They are one of the only Jewish groups bold enough to speak out against this ungodly criminal enterprise.

Zionist Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, who recently called for revenge killings and the destruction of the Palestinian town of Beit Hanoun, must be smiling as his "ruling" is fulfilled and the corpses of the animals* continue to pile up:

"Seven Palestinians were killed, including a mother and her four young children, and at least seven others were injured when Israeli tanks shelled a house in the town of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday morning, witnesses and medics said... Witnesses reported that Israeli tanks and bulldozers invaded Beit Hanoun early on Monday morning and began firing on residential houses... The family was inside the house, eating breakfast at the time of the shelling..." -- Maan News

"Israeli soldiers killed 69 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in April. The Center added that among the killed residents were 20 children and 16 women." -- Mezan Center

* According to the Talmud, only Israelites (Jews) have human souls and are considered "men". Others that lack this "divine spirit" are considered animals for the purposes of Talmudic legal procedure.

Author Alan Hart has written an interesting historical account entitled "Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews" in which he argues that the Zionist program of colonizing the whole of Eretz Yisrael by force, as promoted by the World Likud bloc and its supporters, is the enemy of peaceful coexistence.

Bold as this thesis seems, it falls short of the actual target. One cannot effectively argue against Zionism without first arguing against Talmudism, since it is the Jewish Talmud itself which provides the spurious arguments upon which Zionism is based.

First, that the Jews are a "divine race", selected by God himself to rule over the lesser nations that lack the divine soul of the Jewish people, with the mandate "to conquer and to purify all the gentile countries" *. This includes suppression of Christian culture, "...according to the known Jewish legal ruling that Christians are idol worshippers", with Jesus himself condemned as "a dangerous, false prophet" who is now burning in hell.**

Second, that "Eretz Yisrael", including Jerusalem and all the territory from the Sinai to the Euphrates river (i.e. Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria) is the promised "land of Canaan" to which the Jews alone are entitled, in perpetuity. All other inhabitants are to be "driven out".

This belief in Jewish supremacy, support for the Jewish State, and disdain for "gentile cultures" is not limited to the Likudniks. This is the prevailing Jewish worldview, expressed time and again in their writings and their actions. Yet the Torah and the Prophets do NOT support these self-serving interpretations.

Israel was "chosen" to be the example of a righteous society governed by simple laws based on mutual respect and self-restraint, rather than kings, priests, false gods, and the lust for wealth and power. They failed repeatedly, and Jehovah eventually allowed the Romans to overrun Jerusalem in 70 A.D., destroy Herod's temple, and drive them out of the "promised land" to the far corners of the earth -- exactly as the prophets had predicted.

As the Yom Kippur prayer says, "next year in Jerusalem!". But under whose authority?

The worldwide problems caused by the Zionist program of conquest and domination cannot be eliminated until the underlying religious sophistry is exposed and repudiated. If Jehovah is just, then he will not allow the exploitation and abuse of the other nations -- who are also "his people" -- to go unanswered for much longer.

* Rabbi Schneerson (quoted) and his Chabad Lubavitch movement were officially honored by the U.S. Congress in 1991. The revived Council of the Sanhedrin intends to "judge the Noahides" (non-Jews) from their seat in Jerusalem.

** Jesus denounced the Pharisees as hypocrites, and accurately foretold that the Jewish temple would be destroyed, 40 years before it happened. Roman Catholics, the self-styled "true and only" Christian church, are in fact idol worshippers in direct violation of the Torah commandments.

Dutch politician Geert Wilders, a Roman Catholic opponent of Islam and supporter of Zionism who lived and worked in Israel for two years, has finally released his much anticipated anti-Muslim film "Fitna". It was originally posted at LiveLeak.com, but quickly pulled because of "threats to the staff". It is now being proudly hosted by Israel National News.

The first few minutes are enough to discredit this inflammatory propaganda piece. It opens with the provocative cartoon of "the prophet" with a bomb in his headgear. Then, using footage from the 2001-09-11 attack in New York City, it tacitly endorses the official myth that the attack was perpetrated solely by "muslim terrorists". Likewise with the London underground bombing of 2005-07-07. These images are interspersed with various "kill the infidel" verses from the Quran, and shots of anonymous protestors in muslim garb waving signs in English saying odd things like "God Bless Hitler".

Who benefits from such an oversimplified and emotional distortion of the facts, Mr. Wilders? How will this help to stem the flood of Muslim immigrants overruning Europe?

ANY belief system which requires submission to a priest cult and its irrational dogma; which demands the suppression and slaughter of "heretics"; and which seeks to dominate the entire world in the process of establishing its utopia is a throwback to the dark ages.

This criteria applies equally well to Islam, Catholicism and Judaism to name three examples, each of which has condemned the others as "infidels" or worse. Let us not forget that the Catholic Nazis and the Jewish Bolsheviks* slaughtered more Europeans in the past century than all of the Islamic nations put together.

Mr. Wilders decries the Islamic Quran as a "hate-filled book". Yet, similar passages abound in the Jewish Talmud, the cornerstone of "religious Zionism" and the discriminatory Jewish State he admires. Likewise, the Catholic Council of Trent states that those who do not accept their dogma are declared "anathema", defined as:

"That which is cursed and condemned to be cut off or exterminated, whether a person or a thing... Nations, individuals, animals, and inanimate objects may become anathema, i.e. cursed and devoted to destruction." -- Catholic Encyclopedia

Catholics claim that the church merely "cuts off" the heretic and that "God" actually performs the destruction, but European history is replete with other examples -- like the recent slaughter of the Orthodox Christian Serbs of Croatia:

"In a brutal terror campaign, more than half a million Serbs were killed, a quarter-million expelled, and two hundred thousand forced to convert to Catholicism. The [Catholic] Ustaša regime in Croatia, and particularly this drive in the summer of 1941 to exterminate and dispossess the Serbs, was one of the most horrendous episodes of World War II.

The murder methods applied by the Ustaša were extraordinarily primitive and sadistic: thousands were hurled from mountaintops, others were beaten to death or had their throats cut, entire villages were burned down, women raped, people sent in death marches in the middle of winter, and still others starved to death... Many Catholic priests, mainly of the lower rank, took an active part in the murder operations." -- Encyclopedia of the Holocaust

Coincidently, at the same time in nearby Bavaria, the young Catholic who is now Pope Benedict XVI was enrolled in the Hitler Youth organization...

*Note: The Jewish Marxists who led the Bolshevik Revolution and controlled the new government (supported by their wealthy comrades in New York, London and Frankfurt) exterminated millions of Orthodox Christian farmers in Russia and Ukraine who opposed their program of "sovietization". They eventually became the victims of the police state machinery they had created once Stalin turned against them years later.

"An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system."

-- Sever Plocker

UPDATE: While we disagree with Mr. Wilders opinions, we support his right to express them. Apparently the thought police in his own country do not. They have recently decided to persecute him under their Jewish inspired "hate crime" laws.

UPDATE: In June 2009, Mr. Wilders "Freedom Party" won 4 seats in the European Union parliamentary election.

No civilized person can possibly condone or excuse the brutal murder of 8 Jewish students at the yeshiva Mercaz HaRav in Jerusalem. The leaders of Palestinian Hamas that publicly praised the attack show themselves to be bloodthirsty fools.

But why was this particular institution singled out as the target of this apparent revenge attack for over 100 Palestinian men, women and children slaughtered by the IDF in Gaza a few days earlier?

This Talmudic school was founded in 1924 by rabbi Abraham Kook, the "first Rabbi of Eretz Yisrael", during the period of the British Mandate in Palestine.

"HaRav Kook was the great soul of religious Zionism... He revealed the sources and the roots of one of the greatest visions in our times - the revival of the Jewish people. He, more than anyone else, spoke of the essence of Zionism... Thirteen years after his death, the State of Israel was established, and it is his teachings which give content to the moral and Zionist mode of thought of the Jewish State...

His own life was an inspiration and an example of love for his fellow Jew... Under his leadership, a unique generation of Torah scholars grew up...They shared HaRav Kook's intense love for every Jewish soul"

-- Friends of Mercaz HaRav

Rav Kook's son, Tzvi Yehuda Kook, was head of the yeshiva for some 30 years and founder of the radical Gush Emunim "settler movement" at the forefront of the territorial conflict. This is not just a religious school, but the very heart of the Zionist political and military establishment:

"Rav Kook saw the establishment of the Yeshiva as the culmination of his vision of the rebirth of the People of Israel in their Land. The Yeshiva was founded to be a center for Torah, to produce scholars and spiritual leaders inspired by a profound love of their fellow-Jew and imbued with love of the Land of Israel. In this Yeshiva, "Torat Eretz Yisrael", Torah at its highest spiritual level, was to be taught.

Today "Merkaz HaRav" Yeshivah is the focal point of a young generation...drawn to the vision of HaRav Kook. Since its foundation the Yeshivah and all that it stands for has grown in influence until the name "Merkaz HaRav" has come to denote not only a Yeshivah, but a Torah concept which is the heart of a movement...

The Yeshivah's graduates serve as Rabbis and Dayanim (Rabbinical Judges) in the cities and development towns, settlements and border villages of Israel. They serve faithfully and with devotion in the various corps of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)...

Founded by HaRav Kook who was the first to coin the phrase "the State of Israel", the Yeshiva is open to all [Jews] on Israel Independence Day, and especially on "Yom Yerushalayim". Presidents, Prime Ministers and the military Heads of Staff sit in the Yeshiva, flanked by the Roshei Yeshiva and other Gedolei Torah..."

-- Mercaz HaRav

This consistent Talmudic theme of "love for the fellow Jew", to the exclusion of all others, is the true "essence of Zionism". There is NO love nor respect for the Palestinian Arabs who are being herded like animals and driven out of the "Land of Israel", exactly as the fathers of Zionism -- including Rabbi Kook and Zeev Jabotinsky -- called for long ago.

The basis of "religious Zionism" is explained by the rabbi of the yeshiva Machon Meir in Jerusalem:

"G-d promises Israel that Eretz Yisrael will be conquered little by little... Until we increase and occupy the entire land, G-d severely prohibits us not to forge a covenant with the peoples dwelling in the land, as it says, "Do not make a treaty with [these nations] or with their gods" for if we do forge a covenant with them, it will be a "fatal trap" for us...

Ramban (rabbi Moses ben Nachman, 1195-1270) rendered rulings along these lines in practical terms, writing:

"We were commanded to occupy the Land which G-d gave to our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We must not abandon it to any other nation, or to desolation... In the framework of this mitzvah, G-d gave us the precise details of the Land's borders... and we are not allowed to relinquish the Land to the nations in any generation. We were commanded to come to the Land and to conquer and settle it. This command to us to conquer and settle the Land applies in all generations".

Today, how fortunate we are that in our generation we are privileged to fulfill the words of the written Torah and Ramban's ruling. In other words, we can move to Eretz Yisrael, conquer it and settle it. Through us is being fulfilled, "I will drive the inhabitants out little by little."

-- Rabbi Dov Begon, "The Fatal Trap", Feb 2008

Both sides in this conflict are the victims of hidebound religious demagogues -- the mullahs in their madrasas, the rabbis in their yeshivas -- and the false teachings that they propagate. Until these ungodly "traditions" are swept away as the worthless relics of a dark age, no progress is possible. Truly, that is the fatal trap.

A decade ago, IDF soldier Noam Friedman, a graduate of Mercaz HaRav devoted to the "blood-and-soil" ideals of his elders, went on a shooting rampage at the Palestinian marketplace in Hebron:

"The police said Private Friedman had also told them that he had wanted to avenge the death of Meir Kahane, a militant anti-Arab rabbi...[and] also said he was taking revenge for the death of Dr. (Baruch) Goldstein, a follower of Rabbi Kahane* from the settlement of Qiryat Arba near Hebron who shot to death 29 Palestinians at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in February 1994. Private Friedman told investigators that he had intended to kill many Arabs, and was sorry that none had died."

-- New York Times, 1997-01-03

* Kahane was the founder of the militant Jewish Defense League based in New York City, home to more Zionists than anyplace outside of Israel. Goldstein, also of New York, was a charter member.

UPDATE: For more on Mercaz HaRav and the forces behind the scenes, see "Temple Mount Fanatics Foment a New Thirty Years War" which we have recently posted.

"When the non-Jew encounters the Jew, he is, consciously or subconsciously, struck by a richness of spirit, a depth of living, a resonance of eternity and an echo of the divine that is not easily described, but very palpable. There is something about the Jew that is larger than life, and the non-Jew feels it, sometimes more acutely than the Jew...

Few things are as unbearable and as frightening as the recognition of your [non-Jewish] life being insignificant and meaningless...

The gentile, instinctively and accurately, feels the "otherness" of the Jew; the non-Jew innately senses the holiness embedded within the Jewish soul. When the Jew denies this holiness, when the Jew, embarrassed by his Judaism, tells the world, "I am just like you," the non-Jew [accurately] senses a lie, a secret conspiracy, and he despises the Jew even more."

-- Rabbi Yosef Jacobson, Israel National News *

We feel it, alright. But it's more like the echo of a bad lunch.

If the Aryan Nations or the Nation of Islam or any other group posted a racist screed like this, there would be no end to the howling from the "liberal" thought police. Yet, the Jewish Nation does it routinely, without a peep of protest. This "divine race" mythology -- and the racist discrimination it supports -- is the very essence of the Talmud and Zionism.

* Note that the article was published in March 2003, the same month that the war on Iraq was launched, in honor of the Jewish celebration of Purim and the slaughter of the Persian arch-enemy "Haman".

"A senior Greek Orthodox [Christian] clergyman in Israel attended a meeting at a government office in Jerusalem... When he returned to his car, an elderly [Jewish] man wearing a skullcap came and knocked on the window. When the clergyman let the window down, the passerby spat in his face. The clergyman prefered not to lodge a complaint with the police and told an acquaintance that he was used to being spat at by Jews." -- Haaretz, Israel (Oct 2004)

Another story describes similar Jewish "hate crimes" against the Armenian Christian minority in Israel. Unlike the hypocrisy of recent Jewish theatrics over the "Armenian Genocide" issue, at least these Talmudists are honest in demonstrating their traditional loathing for the "false Messiah" and his followers.

"When they are ready to leave the synagogue, they say a secret prayer to themselves which starts: Alenu leschabbeach, 'It is proper to praise the Lord who is over everything, and to praise heartily the one who has made everything, that he has not made us like the other peoples of the countries, and has not made us like the races of the world; and their portion is not our portion, and our lot is not the lot of their swarm.'

Here some words are omitted in the new prayer books of the Jews... You can find these words in older copies, like one that I have, printed in Augsburg by a Jewish printer called Chajim in the year of Christ 1534... The words are: Schehem córehim umischtachavim lehebhel varik, umispallelim leel lo joschiah, that is: 'They kneel and bow towards vanity and nonsense, and pray to a god who cannot help them'. This refers to the Christians, and they spit on the ground when they say this."

-- Johannes Buxtorf, Synagoga Judaica, 1603

This account of the Alenu prayer, and the long-standing practice of spitting in contempt of the "idolators", is readily confirmed by the modern Jewish Encyclopedia:

"[The Alenu] is one of the most sublime prayers of the entire liturgy, and has a remarkable history, almost typical of the race from which it emanated. It became the cause of slanderous accusation and persecution, as a result of which it was in part mutilated through fear of the official censors."

"...The words, 'they bow to a god who does not help,' were accompanied by spitting as a sign of utter contempt, and [it was] asserted that reference was thereby intended to Jesus. In consequence of this charge, the indecorous practise of spitting while reciting the prayer was denounced by Isaiah Horwitz and other rabbis." -- Jewish Encyclopedia, Alenu

This expression of "utter contempt" for idolators and heretics -- including Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Humanists, and all non-Jews -- is "typical of the race from which it emanates" and is entirely consistent with the teachings of the Talmud. The proof is literally in-your-face, if you happen to be a Christian clergyman in the "Jewish State" today.

"Everything about Mukasey's testimony suggested that he would, as Attorney General, be more of a threat to Constitutional governance than the inept and frequently inarticulate Gonzales. Mukasey gives every indication that he is as enthusiastic as was Gonzales about helping the president to bend and break the law.

The scary thing is that Mukasey appears to be a good deal abler when it comes to cloaking lawlessness in a veneer of legal uncertainty." -- John Nichols, The Nation

Judge Mukasey, supported in his confirmation hearings by fellow Zionists Schumer and Feinstein, is also a Talmudist. His evasive responses to the policy questions reflect that tradition. The Talmud provides the model for legalistic hair-splitting and the "cloaking of lawlessness". It also provides the rationale for treating everyone other than Jews as "non-persons" who are not entitled to the same legal rights. Read it for yourself.

Any policy -- including the torture and summary execution of "the enemy", lying to cover it up, and stealing the money to pay for it all -- can therefore be justified, especially if the interests of the "Jewish State" are involved. Any more questions?

Many have wondered why the Bush/Cheney administration decided to launch a war against Iraq, which has now dragged on for over 4 years at a cost of thousands of lives and billions of dollars with the full support of the "opposition" in Congress, despite the fact that Iraq posed no threat to Americans and did not possess the much-touted "weapons of mass destruction".

Jewish economist and former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan, whose "easy money" policies helped set the stage for the unfolding global financial crisis, has recently written : "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."

While true, that is only part of the story. It is even more "politically inconvenient to acknowledge" another primary factor, which a Zionist writer boasted about only a few days after the war started back in March 2003:

"This war is for us - i.e., the Jews and Israel. Chazal - our sages - throughout the ages have explained the Torah, telling us that everything that happens in the world is for the benefit of the Jewish People. Simply put another way, if all the world is a stage, then the Jews - and especially those in the Land of Israel - are the lead actors on the stage of history, and the goyim - the nations, i.e. the gentiles - have supporting roles, while the evil-doers are props and background scenery. As our tradition states, God - the great playwright - created the world for the sake of the Jewish People..." -- Israel National News, 2003-03

A defining episode in this tragic farce is the slaughter of the Amalekites, celebrated for centuries and reflected in current Zionist policy. As the war drags on, their spokesmen have used that analogy to justify "our" continued participation. But what benefits have the goyim ever derived from their "supporting role" in this play?

"The fact is that certain Jews, some of whom wield political influence, consider Jews to be superior to non-Jews and view the world as having been created only or primarily for Jews... The fundamentalists also justify their own belief in Jewish superiority and their feeling of contempt for non-Jews; they seek to reproduce the mythical golden age in which their views would dominate."

-- Israel Shahak, "Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel", 1999

According to the revered sages throughout the Talmud, the goyim are not considered "brothers", "neighbors", or even "fellow men" -- they are simply unclean animals, to be exploited and sacrificed: "For it is written: 'And ye my flock, the flock of my pastures, are men' -- only ye are designated 'Men'." (Baba Mezi'a 114b) For instance:

"[Rabbi] Shila administered lashes to a [Jewish] man who had intercourse with an Egyptian woman... An official was sent to summon him. When he came he was asked: 'Why did you flog that man?' He replied: 'Because he had intercourse with a she-ass'..." (equating the non-Jewish woman to a beast)

"Blessed is the All-Merciful Who has made the earthly royalty on the model of the heavenly, and has invested you [the Jews] with dominion, and made you lovers of justice..."

"'And the victory': this refers to the fall of Rome, as it says: 'And their life-blood is dashed against my garments.' ... 'Thine is the kingdom, O Lord': this refers to the war against Amalek." (Berakoth 58a)

Why should the beasts of modern day Rome (i.e., Europe and America) continue to sacrifice themselves in a war (cultural, economic and military) which is intended to result in their own downfall and global domination by this self-proclaimed "earthly royalty"?

UPDATE: The Rabbinic sages have advised Jews not to associate with the unclean Christian Zionist rabble during the Jewish Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) holiday in Israel, "baffling and upsetting the evangelical groups that traditionally have been big supporters of the Jewish state".
