In his youth he had been involved with criminal activities and he had a police record as a juvenile delinquent and he had been placed in a institute for juvenile delinquents “Achvah” near Akko-Acre. According to the records of the Israeli Police upon his release he joined a criminal gang that specialized in burglaries. He also became a journeyman in laying tile floors for contractors in the area of Netanyah.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Muhammad Muslih Salim Dardour (Harbi)</b>, 20 years old, the youngest member of the group was b<b><i>orn in Beit Hanina a neighborhood North East Jerusalem.</i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These three terrorists went to Lebanon to join the "Resistance" and received training in "Palestinian refugee camps" in the "No Man's" land of southern Lebanon known as "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_insurgency_in_South_Lebanon" target="_blank">Fatahland</a>". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After the catastrohic lost aka "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba" target="_blank">Nakba</a>" in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, </span><span style="font-size: medium;">Lebanon became home to more than 110,000 Palestinian refugees. These refugees as ALL "Palestinian Refugees" in ALL ARAB lands, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Jordan have NEVER been absorbed and assimilated as productive citizens. In difference to those "Palestinian Refugees", some 900,000 "Mizrachi Jews of Arab Lands" were "ETNICALLY CLEANSED" and expelled from their homes from 1949-1964. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In total indeference to the treatment of fellow Moslems and Arabs who were enclosed within fenced in UNWRA camps. These new immigrant Jews were absorbed by Israel as citizens housed initially in "Transit Camps" due to the lack of homes formed the basis of the "Development Town" project to create new towns like Ma'alot in the prepheral areas of the country. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These communities comprised of Jews of Arab lands, many of whom had lived in rural areas where they were severly mistreated and uneducated, were in need of assistance in their assimilation -their process of modernization and education. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Many of the more French or English colonialized educated and wealthy Jews choose to immigrate to other countries or to move to other sections of Israel. Leaving a cultural as well as social problem that hindered Israel's development.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The southern part of the "sovereign nation of Lebanon" was subverted to a terrorist stronghold by Yasser Arafat and the PLO -Palestinian Liberation Organization by the large influx of some 300,000 Palestinians that had been displaced from "Palestine" aka Jordan by the forces loyal to the imposed Hashemite King Hussein in what became euphemistically called "Black September" in 1970.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">From 1967 until 1982 numerous murderous attacks were launched from this area into Israel unhindered by the Lebanese forces or the UN "Peace Keeping forces".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">"Operation Litani" of 1978 was provoked by the "</span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_Road_massacre" style="font-size: large;" target="_blank">Coastal Road Massacre</a><span style="font-size: large;">" of 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children. The intended purpose of "Operation Litani" was to clear the PLO out of Fatahland but was not allowed ro be completed by pressure brought on Israel to make a "ceasefire".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Operation Litani" ended under intensive pressure from the US and the UN for a "Ceasefire" and the "United Nations" Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was created after the incursion, following the adoption of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_425" target="_blank">United Nations Security Council Resolution 425</a> in March 1978: </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b></b></i></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>"to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Southern Lebanon, restore international peace and security</b></i>(sic), and help the government of Lebanon restore its effective authority in the area."</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In reality the PLO under the "<i><b>watchful eyes</b></i>" of UNIFIL, returned to the area with a vengenace and brought with them Soviet made 133mm artillery, Katyusha rockets and multiple launch trucks and 122mm mortars. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Not content with terrorist infiltrations Arafat unleashed his arsenal of artillery and katyushas to fire indiscriminately almost nightly into Israel at civilian targets under the "<i><b>watchful eyes</b></i>" of the UNIFIL.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Fortunately" the Jewish leadership of the state where wise and caring enough to construct public bomb shelters especially in those areas where older housing did not have any and later each post 1967 apartment building was required to have. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In the post SCUD missile 1991 "Desert Storm" period newer housing starts by private contractors vied for providing a "secure room" in their new individual apartment housing.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So when the shelling became increasingly a "nightly thing" each night from 1980 -1982, my wife and new born son would go downstairs to the bombshelter to sleep in safety with the other wives and children of the building. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We husbands and new fathers would stand guard in posts on the outskirts of Ma'alot, or in my case as a combat medic man the emergency medical center.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In June of 1982 Israel could take it no longer after gunmen from Abu Nidal's organization attempted to assassinate Shlomo Argov, Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom and the 1982 Lebanon War, dubbed Operation Peace for Galilee began.</span></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: medium;">From Wikkipedia:</span></u></b></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"After attacking the PLO – as well as Syrian, leftist, and Muslim Lebanese forces – the Israeli military, in cooperation with their Maronite allies and the self-styled Free Lebanon State, occupied southern Lebanon, eventually surrounding the PLO and elements of the Syrian Army. Surrounded in West Beirut and subjected to heavy bombardment, the PLO forces and their allies negotiated passage from Lebanon with the aid of United States Special Envoy Philip Habib and the protection of international peacekeepers. The PLO, under the chairmanship of Yasser Arafat, had relocated its headquarters to Tripoli in June 1982. By expelling the PLO, removing Syrian influence over Lebanon, and installing a pro-Israeli Christian government led by President Bachir Gemayel, Israel hoped to sign a treaty which Begin promised would give Israel "forty years of peace". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Following the assassination of Gemayel in September 1982, Israel's position in Beirut became untenable and the signing of a peace treaty became increasingly unlikely. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Outrage following the IDF's role in the Phalangist-perpetrated Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinians and Lebanese Shias, as well as Israeli popular disillusionment with the war, led to a gradual withdrawal from Beirut to the areas claimed by the Free Lebanon State in southern Lebanon (later to become the South Lebanon security belt), which was initiated following the 17 May Agreement and Syria's change of attitude towards the PLO.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After Israeli forces withdrew from most of Lebanon, the War of the Camps broke out between Lebanese factions, the remains of the PLO and Syrian forces, in which Syria fought its former Palestinian allies. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">At the same time, Shi'a militant groups began consolidating and waging a low-intensity guerrilla war against the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon, leading to 15 years of low-scale armed conflict. The Lebanese Civil War would continue until 1990, at which point Syria had established complete dominance over Lebanon."</span></p></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What Wikkipedia fails to elaborate on is that most of the area south of Beirut to the Israeli border was an area where members of the Shi'ite branch of Islam reside. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And as the Israeli government favoured a close relationship with the Lebanese Maronite Phalange Christian forces over that with the depressed and oppressed poorer Shi'ite minority animosity towards Israel grew.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As I mentioned in my other posts in addtion to this issue of the status of Christians within the Arab world. There has ALWAYS been a conflict within Islam between the majority Sunni Muslims who believe that the Prophet did not explicitly declare a successor and the Shia Muslims who believe that the Prophet publicly designated his cousin and son-in-law, Hazrat Ali, as the first in a line of hereditary Imams from the Prophet's family to lead the community after him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">With the "triumphant return" to Iran in February 1979 of the leading scholar of Shia Islam Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, whose first name means "spirit of Allah" he created a theocracy in Iran based on the Velayat-e faqih or guardianship of the Islamic Jurist. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a concept in "Twelver Shia Islamic law" which holds that until the reappearance of the "infallible Imam", at least some of the "religious and social affairs" of the Muslim world should be administered by righteous Shi'i jurists.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is out of this Shi'ite belief that Hezbollah the party of God (Hizb Allah) declared its existence on 16 February 1985. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The sons of the ummah (Muslim community) established "The Hizballah Program" with the aid of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in order to spread the Islamic Revolution which follows a distinct version of Islamic Shia ideology.</span></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">According to "The Hizballah Program" the principles of its ideology are: </span></i></b></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">To expel Americans, the French and their allies definitely from Lebanon, putting an end to any colonialist entity on our land.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">To submit the phalanges to a just power and bring them all to justice for the crimes they have perpetrated against Muslims and Christians.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">To permit all the sons of our people to determine their future and to choose in all the liberty the form of government their desire. We call upon all of them to pick the option of Islamic government which, alone, is capable of guaranteeing justice and liberty for all. Only an Islamic regime can stop any future tentative attempts of imperialistic infiltration onto our country.</span></p></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The current leader Hassan Nasrallah has described Hezbollah's ideology as having "two main axis: </span></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>firstly</b>, a belief in the rule by the just juris consult and adherence to Khomeini's leadership; and </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>secondly</b>, lay down the basis of a Muslim state which plays a central role in the world, as well as the continued need to struggle against the Israeli enemy"</span></p></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hezbollah views its conflict with Israel and the Jewish people as <i><b><u>religiously motivated. </u></b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The history of the Arab-Israeli conflict to them is a repeat of the negative interactions between the Jews of medieval Arabia and Muhammad and the early umma described in the Koran and other classical Islamic texts. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">God, according to Hezbollah theology, cursed all Jews as blasphemers damned for all time and throughout history. Hezbollah (as well as the political/religious leaders of Iran) believe that the destruction of Israel will bring about the "<i><b>reappearance of the Imam</b></i> (the Shiite Islamic Messiah)"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Furthermore, <b><i>the elimination of the state of Israel has been a primary goal for Hezbollah</i></b>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hezbollah not only opposes the government and policies of the State of Israel, <i><b>but also each and every Jewish <u>civilian </u>who lives in Israel</b></i>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Its 1985 manifesto reportedly states "<i><b>our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no ceasefire, and no peace agreements</b></i>."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-14877857052075735492023-10-22T15:09:00.002+03:002023-10-22T15:11:17.622+03:00Truth and Self-Reliance<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> It is now Day #16 .....</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

However, on Shabbat -Saturday, when I tried to sleep, my head was very heavy
from not getting what is called REM -(Rapid Eye Movement sleep) -deep restful
sleep and I just laid in bed and let the two old guys continue to fight it out
between themselves as they argued over everything.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the end I awoke and sat on the edge of my bed and had to
force myself to get up to let out (my nemesis) Marley the 12-year-old family
dog downstairs to let out "Momma's Baby" aka the "Terror Dawg of
Kitty Kats" to our backyard-his potty.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6EuSHC5YmBsmhHD7ssQ-oOglCjKKuL_AqC58LbLz9Gq4JVAb3ir_GJ5TpNzH7MS4UAgxlrfEaLn7uXQHEoXTnApwyabm_JZ1WHY0zA53AQrBKI2fFqAM69DioU65Ac5MIy_td7fc3aAMayv_3rR9n2YFBTPFu3kX9D2wg_Gngd4ehlPa6ma8tjNfrBo/s1024/Daboushkies%20baby%202022-07-23.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6EuSHC5YmBsmhHD7ssQ-oOglCjKKuL_AqC58LbLz9Gq4JVAb3ir_GJ5TpNzH7MS4UAgxlrfEaLn7uXQHEoXTnApwyabm_JZ1WHY0zA53AQrBKI2fFqAM69DioU65Ac5MIy_td7fc3aAMayv_3rR9n2YFBTPFu3kX9D2wg_Gngd4ehlPa6ma8tjNfrBo/w200-h200/Daboushkies%20baby%202022-07-23.jpeg" width="200" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as he was outside,
I took my medicines and insulin and put on the Tami4 water bar to heat up water
and turned on the TV. As I stood making my cup of coffee, I was flipping
between the news in Hebrew on our stations to be updated. Once my cup of coffee
was made, I changed to see what is being said in the "Western world"
news media- CNN BBC MSNBC NBC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I let the dog in and sat drinking my coffee flipping through
the channels as I watched the news....I was grew sick. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">ALL you saw was: Gaza devastation, Gaza refugees, Gazans
"murdered" by Israeli bombing, destroyed homes, “broken lives,
"murdered children and babies" -Pallywood falestinian dezinformatsiya
at its best. News coverage that would have made Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria,
chief of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) overjoyed!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">And then I saw the focus on American college/university students
demonstrating together with BLM activists and Arab/Moslem Immigrants who have
flooded the world. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">ALL of them marching, chanting; "From the river to the
Sea, Palestine will be free!" Screaming and accusing us in Israel of being
"Genocidal Occupationalist Settler's members of an Apartheid regime”
totally brainwashed by mendacious lies from "UNWRA recipients-read
descendants- of the self-inflicted Castration and Fantasia of Nachbaland™.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>I sat there in total amazement of how there are major
network news reports with "pro-Palestinian guests" who are free to
blatantly lie and complain that we have the "Iron Dome" system to
prevent our Israel civilian population from being shot at and murdered.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Nary a word of how the vast majority of the Israelis are
running to bomb shelters as rockets rain down.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">What they readily show is OUR retaliatory strikes against
launch sites, which can be seen in the videos in crowded residential areas
using ordinary Gaza residents as "Human Shields", as a "Blatant
War Crime"!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>Then I see members of the US House of representatives,
Senate and celebrities also regurgitating the same.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

was the JINOs who took over the Rotunda in the US House of Congress to demand
that Israel "ceasefire". God forbid they should contemplate that we
in Israel are under indiscriminant mortar and rocket fire. <o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">These pseudo-Jews -who explicitly for "effect"
wore Jewish ritual prayer shawls, wore Kipot and were seen blowing shofars to
"emphasize that they were "Jews". Members of the notorious
anti-Israel "Jewish Voice of Peace" (read Kapo's Inc.) under the auspices
of the six Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives known as the
"Squad":<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of
Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Jamaal Bowman of New York and Cori
Bush of Missouri. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">These brainwashed and hate filled fools made this
"publicity stunt" were calling for an Israeli "ceasefire"
and the "genocidal murder" of the people of Gaza. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The JVP -an oxymoron - are infamously famous for their
"Not in my Name", "As a Jew", anti-Israel and anti-Zionist.
These Jews in name only (JINOs) are especially overly extremely hateful of Jews
who have returned to our ancestral lands in Judaea. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Nary a time have they ever acknowledged the fact of the
reasoning for the creation of the Jewish State and the historical background of
Israel's creation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">They are oblivious to the historically document truth of the
ethnic cleansing of 900,000 of their fellow Jews, who had lived for generations
in Arab lands who "cast out" deprived of all they possessed who were
absorbed as full citizens in the one Jewish State.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">They consistently ignore the barbarity of terrorism and
lies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Why?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I can only deduce it is caused by profound Parasitic Ostrich
Syndrome which is associated Kumbayaism and (RBDD) - Rectal Brain Displacement
Disorder.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In all these news broadcasts I watched and the coverage of
the massive demonstrations, nary one word is mentioned of how all this began
nor of the continual launching of indiscriminate explosive laden rockets,
mortar rounds, anti-tank missiles and attempts to infiltrate from Gaza and Lebanon
to murder and butcher Israeli civilian citizens as was done to 1400 Israelis on
Saturday October 7th -Jew and Arab alike.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">And then yesterday I saw the report of the brutal murder of
Samantha Woll, the president of the board of the Isaac Agree Downtown

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Given Rashida’s recent inflammatory comments and lies about
Israel, Rashida Tlaib has Woll's blood on her hands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">As one news guest on MSNBC stated; "Peace will come
when the "Jewish" State of Israel is eradicated and replaced by a
"Democratic Palestinian State".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">As a Jew, a father and grandfather what I see is a world
once more indifferent to the plight of Jews. Once again, a world oblivious to

abject hatred of Jews to be recorded for posterity is Holocaust denial dampened.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">How in a momentary lapse of humanity and righteousness the members of the UN voted that fateful Novemebr of 1947 on "Partition" allowing the recreation and rebirth of our indigenous homeland. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

world apathy to the plight of Jews. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">What awoke the world in 1945 was the truth of horrific
anti-Semitism that was allowed to occur in a "modern country" that
turned on its Jewish citizens and then to ethnically cleanse most of Europe and
Russia in a highly organized and well planned and laid out scheme to

the world blatantly continue to turn a blind eye to the well documented
historical facts. Nary a word is ever mentioned of the complicity of the
"Arabs of the Mandated Area of Palestine" with the Nazi regime and
the pressure brought upon the British "The Mandatory" that led to the
closure of the gates to our promised "Jewish Homeland" in the British
"White Paper" thereby condemning Jews to death as the world joined in
by collectively closed the gates</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">As I wrote in one of my blog entries of Britannia had made a
"Declaration" to win the hearts and minds of the Zionists believing
in the "ability" of the Zionists to gain influence and sympathy of
"World Jewry" as that expressed in the nefarious "Protocols of
the Elders of Zion". <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">How England used its influence and power to gain the
"Stewardship" over the previous Ottoman Turkish areas for their own
nefarious reasons. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">How upon being granted the "Mandatory" they turned
around and paid off their WWI Arab ally by giving over 2/3rd of the territory
assigned them by the League of Nations EAST of the Jordan river with the added
stipulation that it be "Jew Free".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">How the British used the idea of "Perfidious
Albion" or treachery of the "Balfour Declaration" to gain the
Mandate over "Palestine" to use it as a forward military bastion to
guard the Suez Canal. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">How the British readily acquiesced to the Arabs every
demand and only gave up when they were bankrupt at the end of WWII and had lost
their far eastern holdings in India and were no longer in need of the Suez
Canal and the once formable British Navy was downsized.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Yes, we Jews especially we Israeli Jews have learned the

As Gavin Kadey recently posted in his article entitled; "What The West Doesn’t Get About the Middle East" is that it all stems from from the Moslem conquest of our homeland by the forces of Islam in 635CE making iy the territory of Islam (Dar al-Islam).</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">For the "Palestinians" -Hamas- Israel belongs to the territory of war (Dar al-Harb – the area controlled by infidels), due to its conquest of what have historically been viewed as Islamic Palestinian lands. This idea, which relies on al-Qaradawi ruling that Israel is an enemy of Islam and the Muslim nation (against which a jihad must be fought).</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">The laws of jihad or holy war if necessary and there is no other choice then one can take a break, agree to a "Hudna" ceasefire or sign an agreement all based on "The Treaty of Hudaybiyya" between Muhammad, son of Abdullah, and Suhail, son of 'Amr [the envoy of Mecca] in 628CE.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">In his article "Islamic Peace Treaties," John F. Schmidt argued that a Muslim "makes a peace treaty with an opponent with the sole purpose of suddenly destroying his treaty partner in an overwhelming surprise attack." </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">In an article entitled "I Believe Arafat," Dr. Mordechai Kedar wrote about Yasser Arafat's (May 15, 2002) address to the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah on the occasion of the 54th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba. </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Dr. Kedar had this to say about Arafat's position:</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><blockquote>"I do indeed believe Arafat's message: <i><b>He does wish to come to an agreement with the Israelis, but, as he points out to his followers, any agreement with non-Muslims… is simply a modern version of Hudaybiyya. </b></i>As such, in accordance with Islamic principles which form the basis of the political culture in the Arab sphere, such a commitment may (or must) be broken at the right time."</blockquote></span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Like Kedar, Schmidt draws the conclusion that Arafat's reference to al-Hudaybiyya is intended to rally Muslims behind the Oslo Accords, only to betray them later on:</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">John F. Schmidt stated that treachery was the expressed goal of <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/suha-arafat-widow-yasser-arafat-2000-intifada-was-premeditated-planned-arafat" target="_blank">Yasser Arafat</a>, and the so called "Palestinian Authority" in the signing of the Oslo Accords.

It had long been obvious that the Ottoman Empire – the famous “<i>Sick man of Europe</i>” – would eventually collapse. The burning question was what would succeed it. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">To the alarm of Britain and France, Russia was keen to extend her influence into the Levant, and the general thrust of British foreign policy was aimed at preventing that happening. Initially, Britain supported attempts to prop up and reform the Ottoman regime, but when it became clear that these were not going to work, the problem became how she could shape the post-Ottoman world to suit her own ends.

With supplies of coal on hand the Admiralty in Great Britain also resisted making the coal to oil switch.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">What changed the minds of the "world sea powers" about using coal for fuel was the Spanish-American War of 1898.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For the first time, coal-fired war vessels had to fight far from the continental shores. Despite American victories in Manila Bay in the Philippines and Santiago de Cuba, hard strategic lessons were learned by the U.S. Navy about fueling coal-powered battleships. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Because of this need to change to fuel oil naval ships in a message to Congress by President Taft on December 6, 1910 stated: </span></p><p></p><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">"As not only the largest owner of oil lands, but as a prospective large consumer of oil by reason of the increasing use of fuel oil by the Navy, the federal government is directly concerned both in encouraging rational development and at the same time insuring the longest possible life to the oil supply."</span></i></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This message to the US Congress of the need to achieve secure sources of oil was heard and understood by British Admirals and the Admiralty in England. The Admiralty had also closely observed the actions of the US Navy during the Spanish-American War of 1898 and the awarness of the American administration to the change realized that: </span></p><p></p><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">“Despite the many advantages that oil held over coal for naval ships (cleaner, easier to refuel, more powerful, etc.), the fact that Britain did not own a supply of oil made the decision to switch painful necessity.”</span></i></blockquote><p></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Thereupon, the British government sought a majority share of the Anglo-Iranian oil company, and the age of ‘petro-politics’ began.”</span></i></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"<b><u><i>THE</i></u></b>" major "<b><i>wake-up call</i></b>" to instigate the need for a rapid change over from coal to oil in England was the <b><i>Agadir Crisis of April 1911 </i></b>which had a profound effect ob Britain's Home Secretary Winston Churchill who "awoke" to the realization that the Royal Navy must convert its power source from coal to oil, to preserve its supremacy. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In June 1914, Winston Churchill convinced the House of Commons to authorise the government purchase of a 51 percent share in the profits of oil produced by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, to secure continued oil access for the Royal Navy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Until then, the locally abundant coal readily available Welsh Coal fields was favoured over imported oil from the area of Kirkuk in Persia.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Subsequently, when asked by Prime Minister H.

The oil was piped directly to Haifa where it was distilled in the Haifa refineries, stored in tanks, and then put in tankers for shipment to Europe.</span><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The pipeline was built by the Iraq Petroleum Company between 1932 and 1934, and was operational between 1935 and 1948 during which period most of the area through which the pipeline passed was under a British mandate approved by the League of Nations.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The pipeline and the Haifa refineries were considered so strategically important by the British Government, that what was once a beautiful "natural harbor" with pristine beaches was horribly defaced by the Mandate power (England) forever solely to provide much of the fuel needs of the British and American forces in the Mediterranean before and during World War II. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is highly important to note that in the late nineteenth century the major naval powers began a naval race to construct new types of warships like the HMS Dreadnought of the British Navy launched in 1906, and the USS Texas launched in 1912, also known as Battleship Texas. The Royal Navy had 22 dreadnoughts (another 13 were completed during World War I), Germany built a total of 19 (five completed after 1914) and the United States completed 22 (14 of them after 1914). Japan and Italy built six, while Russia and France each built seven.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Many civilian ships also slowly converted from coal to oil. Since oil has a higher energy density than coal and more energy can be obtained from the same capacity, it was possible to reduce the size of the fuel tank on board and expand cargo space. It also meant a significant reduction in the number of crew members required as it negated the need to load coal and throw coal into the boiler.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The development of internal combustion engines led to the introduction of marine diesel engines, and ships began to convert their main engines to them, which had significantly higher fuel efficiency compared to the external combustion engines such as reciprocating steam engines or steam turbines.</span></p><p><br /></p></div></div></div>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-12805367003617085812023-04-21T21:44:00.003+03:002023-04-21T21:45:39.016+03:0075 year of Arab Rejection<p><span style="font-size: medium;">On this 75 Independence Day let the truth REAL TRUTH be known! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

For these reasons it is unable [to] accept[the] invitation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The UN Palestine Commission's February 16th,1949 report (A/AC.21/*) to the Security Council noted that Arab-led hostilities were an effort:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"To prevent the implementation of the General Assembly's plan of partition, and to thwart it's objectives by threats of acts of violence, including armed incursions into (Mandate) Palestinian territory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On May 17th, 1948 - after the invasion began, the Palestine Commission designed to implemant 181 adjourned "sine dine"-Latin for without determining a date after the General Assembly appointed a United Nations Mediator in Palestine,which relieves the United Nations Palestine Commission from the further exercise of its responsibilities.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Denying the Jewish people's right to a state of their own, the Arab countries openly declared their intention of preventing the creation of the Jewish State by all means. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A wave of violent attacks was launched against the Jewish population and when Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, five Arab armies invaded the new state the same night, seeking its annihilation and some 800,000 Jews (refugees) were expelled from Arab countries, finding refuge and were absorbed in Israel. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Arab population of the Mandate territory also suffered as a result of the Arab refusal to accept the partition plan. Some 700,000 heeded their leaders' calls to flee or left after being caught up in the fighting. The large numbers who stayed in Israel became full citizens, with equal rights, while their brethren were kept by their Arab hosts in perpetual refugee status to serve as pawns in the political struggle against Israel. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Furthermore, a July 30th,1949 working paper of the UN Secretariat entitled; "The future of the Arab Palesine and the Question of Partition" noted further that:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></p><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">"The Arabs rejected the United Nations Partition Plan so that any comment of theirs did not specifically concern the status of the Arab section of Palestine under Partition but rather rejected the scheme in its entirety."</span></i></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The refusal by the leadership of the Arab population of the mandate territory to accept UNGA Resolution 181 demonstrated that they WERE NOT interested in establishing their own state if it meant allowing the existence of a Jewish state. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This opposition to acknowledging the right of a Jewish state to exist still lies at the core of the conflict until this very moment!</span></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-57597970047750761052023-02-01T17:47:00.010+02:002023-02-01T19:08:50.807+02:00HaYehudim - We the Nation and People of Israel<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ever since I first started doing "Hasbara" on the Internet in 2005 I have witnessed the spread and "trend" of ignorance and "revisionist anti Israel / anti-Zionistic" rhetoric and teachings. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In my research I have found that this has been going on now since 1967 ever since Israel successfully defended itself and liberated the areas of Judaea and Shomron, which we were unable to do so in 1948.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This trend is also due to the total neglect and abandonment of the field of "Hasbara" by successive Israeli Governments and clarity of Israel's stance regarding the fate of our Indigenous homeland. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As for many Jews in the Diaspora, our greatest failure was caused by our parents overwhelming desire to "blend in" and assimilate to negate "Zionism" - to be "faithful citizens" in reponse to the latent anti-Semitism that exists in the world. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">How during the post World War II / Holocaust rush to identify as "faithful citizens" our parents negated and hid their Jewishness and rushed to embrace secularization. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">There are countless stories, but what stood out to me the most was the volunteer work I did in the summer of 1970 in New York when we would deliver food to elderly Jewish couples -the parents of children who fled New York City to the neighboring states and the wealthy suburbs leaving some of their parents in rat infested decrepit apartment buildings!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Though many of the apartment buildings were utterly disgusting, once you entered the apartment of the elderly mother or father. you entered a lost world, a world of Yiddishkite. As an 18 year old, totally "Driving Miss Daisy" Southern reform and secular Jew I was dumbfounded. You could not "just deliver" the packages of food we brought! My two fellow volunteers would be immersed in such warmth and love of grandparents from a world we never knew, the world of the Shtetl of Galicia. The Jews of the "Old Country". I was embarrased, for I knew nothing, no Hebrew no Yiddush. Even the basic terminology of Jewishness of religious ceremonies to "daven" "Mincha" "Tefliah" or even what a "Tallit" was! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">One can vividly see today the outcome of how our non-Orthodox parents, failed or out right refused to teach their children nor adhere to even the basic rudimentaries of Judaism, are responding! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In Israel, our greatest success was in the liberation of our indigenous homeland in the immediate aftermath of the Six Day War and our two greatest failures were the failure to "stop" the local Arab populace from fleeing and our establishment of control over the Temple Mount!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Our secondary failure was the makeup of the post 1956 Sinai War Israeli political system that allowed the spread of the "soul searching among comrages" inspired by those Israeli communists of Mapam and Matzpen who were at a loss when Stalin broke and purged the Jews from the "Party", as part of the embarassment of the defeat of the Soviet Armed Armies.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This "soul" searching spread throughout the "Leftist" -read Labor Party, reached it's peak in the aftermath of the Six Day War in 1967. When those "Labor Party affiliated" Israeli leaders rejected outright any Israeli attempt to annex or cease control over or settlement -read "occupation" of the liberated areas and allowed the void to be filled with the "Big Lie". The "Lie" of Palestine!! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Israeli leaders failed then to relay the HISTORICAL TRUTH! That Judaea and Shomron ARE (still) part of the Balfour Declaration designated "Homeland" of the Jewish People enshrined by the League of Nations "Mandate" that was given to the British to rule over </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">That the Arabs who claim today to be "Palestinians" said zilch, nada to King Abdullah I of Jordan when he invaded and conquered the area in 1948! Nor when he tried to Annex the area.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Israel was a society "drunk" with the financial victory of the Post Six Day War and the control over expansive territory in Sinai, the Golan and the "Disputed Territories" of Judaea and Shomron. Israel suddenly had a large pool of cheap laborers. Jews from "Arab lands" who had been neglected and held in destain suddenly went up the ladder in society from being the street cleaners and laborers to the "managerial" positions. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We -those who ARE NOT of the Knitted Kipa modern Orthodox -have failed to impress upon our "secular youth" what life was like as stateless people, and how daily life was prior to the Six Day War!! We need to teach and impress upon each and everyone of them how precious it is to have a "country/home" of our own. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>That as Jews WE CAN BE</span><span> a "moral nation" and people- a true "light upon other nations", but we must be totally aware of the very real and malicious world we live in!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Though the Nazis were "THE" most "efficient" and most "successful" in their attempt to eradicate us -and when I say US I mean ALL Jews! The very real hatred and despisal known as anti-Semitism is still whispered behind our backs or shouted in our faces, or passed out in leaflets, or posted on Social Media. Anti-Semitism the hatred of Jews exists openly throughout the "Western" "Enlightened World" and it is spreading thanks to OUR failure to unite as one to push back! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As Jews We -collectively- cannot afford the luxury of descending into a state of slumber! We must arise -TOGETHER -from the stupor </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We -ALL <b><i><u>JEWS</u></i></b> MUST remember "<i><b>WE</b></i>" -especailly here in Israel, are surrounded by a people whose basic instincts for utter barbarity are well documented! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgMUrBoqHrVmE8gNFS9aPabXgAd0BlEwFXUo8l_U1asOXjmZ_uNQaIAMwMgWN0YBKPiICKWvOlU5-_1mn_C3_khqtbkgfjN119L2PPQjl8qgR9duORU9bO8VLMhitHf9STYo9fIccuA1otqrMwkO3BFM3CdnJlxv1TZggGaR8ixJA5LWM4-HM-LVkRe" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="252" data-original-width="421" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgMUrBoqHrVmE8gNFS9aPabXgAd0BlEwFXUo8l_U1asOXjmZ_uNQaIAMwMgWN0YBKPiICKWvOlU5-_1mn_C3_khqtbkgfjN119L2PPQjl8qgR9duORU9bO8VLMhitHf9STYo9fIccuA1otqrMwkO3BFM3CdnJlxv1TZggGaR8ixJA5LWM4-HM-LVkRe" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>For example </span><span>here is a portion of transcript from the interrogation of the terrorist Arafat Arfaiah, who murdered 19 year old Ori Ansbacher. </span><span>In reading it we can learn of the deep hatred and sickness that is taught and exists in the Arabs of "Palestine".</span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Arfaia: "I made my parents very proud of what I did".</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Q: "How do <b>murder and rape cause pride</b>?"</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Arfaia: "<b>I didn't just rape someone, I murdered a Jewish woman.</b> You won't be able to understand it because <b>our thinking is different</b>. <b>If you ask anyone if they would be happy to kill a Jew... you will see that I have done everything that Arabs dream of doing".</b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Q: "Why didn't you just do it a while ago if you so longed for it?"</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Arfaia: "This is not what Allah planned for me this murder is the best and most important thing I have done in my life.

and Menachem Begin.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In light of today's "headlines" of the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism as well as the isolation and profound criticism of Israel by the UN, I found Avner's words and quotes of those famous Zionist Israeli leaders quite prophetic. Though long this article is well worth the read:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Golda Meir, Israel's most celebrated model of straitlaced
probity, once gave a pep talk to 15 diplomatic probationers at the Foreign Ministry
in 1958. Clearly wishing to take our measure, she leaned leisurely into her
chair, combed back her bund hair with the fingers of both hands, lit up a
cigarette, and eyeing us through the flame of the match, said in a Hebrew
filled with Milwaukee-sounding pronunciations, <i>"Are you sure you greenhorns

ourselves, impelled by our own Jewish, Zionist faith.</b></i>"</span></blockquote><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">With that, the foreign minister stubbed out her cigarette
and brooded over the ashtray, clearly pondering her next thought. When it came
her voice was mulish:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">"<b><i>Since we have no blood ties to stand by us in solidarity,
we suffer severe diplomatic consequences. </i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Nobody recognizes Jerusalem as our
capital city.</i></b> We have no membership in any international regional alliance. We
have no membership in any trade area. We enjoy no international recognition of
our national medical emblem, the Magen David Adom. We have no accredited
membership in any United Nations regional grouping.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Consequently, we are the only UN member that has no prospect of ever becoming a
member of the Security Council.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">"Of course," she added with a pious smile,
"<b><i>there is one important exception - our natural blood ties with our fellow
Jews in the Diaspora.</i></b> But everywhere they are a minority, and nowhere do they enjoy
any form of national or cultural autonomy, let alone sovereignty."</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thus spoke this extraordinary woman, then in her early sixties, making no attempt
to answer her own earth-shattering question: <b><i>why, indeed, was the Jewish state
without any sovereign kith or kin in the family of nations? Why was <st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place>
the odd state out?</i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Years later, when she was prime minister and I a member of
her staff, I discovered she had an aversion to analytical, conceptual discourse
of any sort. A tough character with a domineering streak, Golda Meir knew to
ask the right questions but was wont to simplify the most complex issues and go straight to the crux of the matter for a
practical answer. Impatient with the convoluted theorems favored by academics
and seasoned career diplomats, she wanted bottom-line answers. And, for her,
<i><b>"Jewish, Zionist faith"</b> was a bottom-line answer</i>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">This enigma, of Israel's diplomatic solitude, once came up
for discussion at the Bible study circle which Menachem Begin regularly hosted
at his home when he became prime minister in 1977. Every Saturday night 20-odd
people, among them Bible scholars of repute, would seat themselves comfortably
around the couch on which Mr. Begin sat, and for an hour or so would zestfully
delve into an attention-grabbing biblical text.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">
On the Saturday night in question the chosen text was from the <a href="https://mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0422.htm">Book of Numbers,chapters 22 to 24</a>, in which the Bible records how, 38 years after the children
of Israel embarked on their Exodus from Egypt and two years before entering the
Promised Land, <b><i>the heathen prophet Balaam was coaxed by the Moabite king Balak
to curse the advancing Israelites and thereby devastate them</i></b>. However, Balaam, impelled by God's command, and much to
Balak's fury, <b><i>found himself involuntarily blessing them profusely instead.</i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The discussion that evening centered primarily on the
evocative verse nine of chapter 23, in which Balaam foretells with remarkable prescience
the future destiny of the Jewish people, predicting that <b><i>"this is a people
that shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations."</i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Reading the verse out loud, <b><i>prime minister Begin</i></b> fixedly
peered at the page of his Bible as though studying a museum manuscript and, sounding
a mild chuckle, said, </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"One does not have to be a mystic for the
imagination to be stirred by such an improbable vision of a nation 'dwelling alone.' What Balaam said is a startlingly accurate prophecy of
our Jewish people's experience in all of history."</span></blockquote><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Professor<b><i> Ephraim Urbach</i></b>, a rotund, semi-bald scholar of refinement,
wit, and brilliance, cited classic commentators to suggest<b><i> "dwelling
alone" really meant voluntarily setting oneself apart. In other words, the
Jewish nation distinguished itself from other peoples by virtue of its
distinctive religious and moral laws, and by the fact that it had been chosen
by God as the instrument of a Divine purpose within the family of nations.</i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">A woman in her fifties raised a finger for attention. She
was fairly tall and lean, her face equine, her dress an unfussy nut brown, her
beret a plain gray, her shoes sensible, and her eyes brilliantly intelligent.
This was <b><i>Nehama Leibowitz</i></b>, famous for her profound biblical scholarship and for
her immensely popular weekly Torah discourses, composed in a comprehensive and
highly comprehensible style, graspable even to laymen.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Deftly, <b><i>she drew attention to the verse's grammatical
structure</i></b>, elaborating upon and <b><i>reinforcing Professor Urbach's comment</i></b>, explaining
that the verb yit'hashav, generally translated in English to mean reckoned -
"this is a people that shall not be reckoned among the nations" - was
here rendered in the reflexive form [hitpa'el], meaning, "<b><i>this is a people
that does not reckon itself among the nations</i></b>."</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>As an aside, she pointed out that this form of that
particular Hebrew word - <u>yit'hashav</u> - occurs but once in the whole of Scripture.</i></b><br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Professor <b><i>Ya'acov Katz</i></b>, a slight figure with dour features
and a deeply analytical disposition, broke in to refer to the eminent talmudist
<b><i>Marcus Jastrow</i></b>. Citing Jastrow's talmudic sources, Katz showed the hitpa'el of
the root word hashav, ["reckon"] signifies "to conspire," <b><i>meaning that Israel "is a people that dwells
alone and does not conspire against other nations."</i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Another participant, whom everybody knew simply as Srulik -
a ginger, bushy-haired archeologist and Bible prodigy in an emerald-green
yarmulke which he had picked up at the door - provocatively remarked that
whatever which way one interpreted Balaam's prophecy it stamped the Jewish
people as an eternally abnormal nation within the family of nations. This flew
in the face of the classic Zionist creed which expounded that Zionism's aim was
to normalize the Jewish people so that it should become a goy k'chol hagoyim - a nation like other nations.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Indeed, the central thesis of the Zionist theorists and
thinkers of the late 19th and the early 20th centuries was that <b><i>once Jews possessed
what every other normal nation possesses - a country of their own - they would
automatically become a normal nation within the international community. And
the consequence of that, so the classic Zionist theory went, would be that
anti-Semitism would wither and die.</i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">To which <b><i>Dr. Haim Gevrayahu</i></b>, chairman of the Israel Bible
Society, and involved in one way or another in many high-profiled Bible study
circles throughout the country, added words to the effect that, in making their
confident predictions, one wondered in hindsight what led those brilliant
secular Zionist founding fathers of yesteryear to believe that <b><i>Jewish
self-determination would, of itself, lead to national normalization and put an
end to anti-Semitism.</i></b> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Indeed, <b><i>were Jews to become a normal people they would
cease being Jewish</i></b>. But that could never happen because nothing could ever put
an end to anti-Semitism. In fact, one thing to be learned from the biblical
portion under review was that the so-called prophet <b><i><u>Balaam was the archetype
anti-Semite</u></i></b>. <i><b>His whole intent was to curse the Jews, not to bless them. The blessing was God's doing,
not his.</b></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">This triggered off a firestorm of controversy because some
of the scholars present took the Bible as a paradigm of God's own writing, while
others related to it secularly as a piece of extraordinary literature.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Listening attentively, Mr. Begin lowered the temperature by
saying in an earnest voice that it could hardly be denied by any reading of the
text that the Jewish people did, indeed, live separate, apart, and often alone.
And to prove his point he picked up a volume called <b><i>A People That Dwells Alone</i></b>. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgN4sJdAYTFb1OLAl2lNhrB6sW9yTMl4zmtKvKc1KpKkMofVHE9GHaJCJEL2l_gN8SETYUbVvGakZLA5nb7BOKiKqNfF1gccukxkBbaVM5dLX5N3O_uimcihm-g7gk5KjLmi8Mvt8XqZ3H2FS-e3TgfYlsEaNXJDsdnIiIvlRvWCKh_9KhLzQwo4AWf" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="174" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgN4sJdAYTFb1OLAl2lNhrB6sW9yTMl4zmtKvKc1KpKkMofVHE9GHaJCJEL2l_gN8SETYUbVvGakZLA5nb7BOKiKqNfF1gccukxkBbaVM5dLX5N3O_uimcihm-g7gk5KjLmi8Mvt8XqZ3H2FS-e3TgfYlsEaNXJDsdnIiIvlRvWCKh_9KhLzQwo4AWf" width="192" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">This was an anthology
of the utterances of <b><i>Dr. Ya'acov Herzog</i></b>, confidant of several prime ministers,
and universally admired for his remarkable gifts as a diplomat, philosopher, Talmudist,
and theologian. Scion of a famous rabbinic family, <b><i>he was the son of Israel's
first chief rabbi, Yitzhak Isaac Halevy Herzog, and younger brother of Chaim,</i></b>
who was to become Israel's sixth president. He died in 1972 at the age of 50.
To me, (Yehuda Avner)-he was a mentor, counselor, and tutor.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The prose of Ya'acov Herzog's anthology reads like a great
rolling stone, accumulating intellectual threads and philosophic concepts as it
gathers momentum and accelerates deeper and deeper into the mysteries of Jewish
identity and eternity. And it was one such concept that Menachem Begin chose to quote that night to the members of his
Bible study circle. He read:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">“<i><b>The theory of classic Zionism was national normalization</b></i>.
What was wrong with the theory? </span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>It was the belief that the idea of a
"people that dwells alone" is an abnormal concept, when in actuality,
<i>“a people that dwells alone" is the natural concept of the Jewish people. </i></b><br />
</span></blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">That is why this one phrase still describes the totality of the extraordinary
phenomenon of Israel's revival. If one asks how the ingathering of the exiles,
which no one could have imagined in his wildest dreams, came about, or how the
State of Israel could endure <br />
such severe security challenges, or how it has built up such a flourishing
economy, or how the unity of the Jewish people throughout the Diaspora has been
preserved, one must come back to the primary idea that<b><i> this is "a people
that dwells alone."</i></b> More than that, one must invoke this phrase not only
to understand how the Jews have existed for so long;<b><i> one must invoke it as a testimony
to the Jewish right to exist at all in the land of their rebirth</i></b>.”</span></blockquote><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">"So, there you have it," concluded Begin, closing
the book with a resolute air. "Cease 'dwelling alone' and you cease to
exist. What a conundrum!"</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p></o:p></b></p><p></p><p></p></div>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-6683344036884940632022-04-25T18:40:00.004+03:002022-10-28T08:34:52.175+03:00The REAL Truth regarding the "Disputed Territories"<p><span style="font-size: medium;">A<span style="font-family: times;">s I have stated over and over again the Minions of the Usurpers of Falestine" are like a Tsunami of viral hatred in Talkback sections of ALL news sites. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">I see that almost ever "news article" -read slander and lies- regarding the issues here in tiny Israel are so misconstrued by unscrupulous and unvirtuous news editors and journalists who totally lack the very basic integrity in their relaying of a story that ones brain fries!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">As one who consistently states that WORDS DO MATTER!!! and that so does HISTORICALLY RECORDED and DOCUMENTED FACTS!

Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, and this occupied land will be liberated. Jerusalem is ours, and Palestine is ours."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">So world news sources how about the TRUTH for once in your coverage?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">1) The Green Line, (pre-)1967 border, or 1949 Armistice border, was intended ONLY as a DEMARCATION line rather than a permanent border between the armies of Israel and those of its neighbors (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria) after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">2) The drawing of the "Green Line" SUPERSED entirely the partition lines proposed and voted on by the United Nations in the Partition Plan of 1947, which the Zionists Jews had accepted in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and founded the sovereign State of Israel. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">3) The Arabs of the Mandated Areas (those who have usurped the term palestine- a long story in of its self) and Arab leaders had repeatedly rejected any permanent partition of Mandatory Palestine and at the 1949 Rhodes Armistice Conference the Arabs INSISTED that they were NOT creating permanent BORDERS. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">4) With the seizure of the area, beyond the "Green Line" to the West Bank of the Jordan River by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1948. The area came to be designated the West Bank. And furthermore the "Eastern Part" including the ETHNICALLY CLEANSED Jewish Quarter became known euphemistically as "East Jerusalem". The area, though under the control of an Arab nation, the Arabs of the Mandated Area DID NOT assert sovereignty to create a "Palestinian State" from May 1948 - June 1967.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">5) Ergo, the Arabs of the Mandated Area DID NOT assert sovereignty leaving the territory as "Terra nullius" which is a Latin term meaning in INTERNATIONAL LAW as 'land belonging to no-one' or land not under the sovereignty or control of any other state or socially or politically organized grouping; or by prescription, where a state acquires territory through a continued period of uncontested sovereignty.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">6) This "Terra nullius" area was part of The League of Nations Internationally agreed Mandated Area given as a Mandate to the British to Govern in 1922 as per the preamble which states; "... in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." "...recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">7) And as stated in the INTERNATIONAL agreement of the League of Nations in the Treaty of Sèvres (San Remo conference ) and later ratified in the Treaty of Lausanne July 24th 1923. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE "PEOPLE" nor "Sovereign NATION of PALESTINE! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">8) TO CLARIFY what IS MENTIONED is; </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">"... it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine," </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">9) After the DEFENSIVE Six-Day War, the aforesaid "Mandated area for the Jewish Homeland" (Article 8 Mandate for Palestine) was liberated from Jordanian "Occupation" in 1967, the "West Bank" officially became Israeli territory under Uti possidetis juris (Latin for "as you possess under law"). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">10) INTERNATIONAL LAW and the U.N. Charter states that not all wars are illegal. Indeed the U.N. Charter expressly reaffirms the legality of a defensive war. Since defensive war is not illegal, it follows that the defender’s territorial gains from such a war would not be illegal.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">In fact the legality of defensive conquest was endorsed by the International Law Commission, a body created by the General Assembly, and tasked with providing fuller explanations of the legal significance of the U.N. Charter and related documents. All agreed that post-war frontier adjustments were justified to help protect the victim of aggression.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">So it is way past time that the REAL TRUTH be told by real News sources, journalists and above ALL else political leaders with integrity!!!</span></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-61086634467628873332022-04-12T08:41:00.001+03:002022-10-29T14:02:34.127+03:00The World's purposely selective amnesia of the Holocaust <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpX6g1bF4w2_zUnyZAy8CUhzzSRnKjS0fENnSSsAPIJSjLhtriGeg7gf6RLrBN66W1iATMAzOUacukMAXxYba_6QEWzp7tttzgY3VYP2vxWikSC28PyUSa_qY6jLUEloYBPR1SIfaHz9jjhfGLmZg9DkC-eRREJkhkiWXGuNZOGwfC_IOmgacAobL/s401/Eichmann%20at%20his%20trail%20and%20when%20he%20became%20Obersturmbannf%C3%BChrer%20on%209%20November%201941.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="262" data-original-width="401" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpX6g1bF4w2_zUnyZAy8CUhzzSRnKjS0fENnSSsAPIJSjLhtriGeg7gf6RLrBN66W1iATMAzOUacukMAXxYba_6QEWzp7tttzgY3VYP2vxWikSC28PyUSa_qY6jLUEloYBPR1SIfaHz9jjhfGLmZg9DkC-eRREJkhkiWXGuNZOGwfC_IOmgacAobL/s320/Eichmann%20at%20his%20trail%20and%20when%20he%20became%20Obersturmbannf%C3%BChrer%20on%209%20November%201941.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">On the 11th of April 1961 an attempt to awaken the world to the immense banality of evil that laid behind the Holocaust began with the trial of Adolf Eichmann, the principal architect of the Holocaust in Jerusalem.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann <i><b>was in no way a "simple" bureaucrat. </b></i></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85hCjSftXp63GWNC_vcj-dkKjcrffBUy8Ly45VPnYjtBVTfzJFK4QbUfZupxj3T7SgUpCw36myVj4pYsN7YPkV__-Yf1Ub7kmvHLepUBAolm-y3K2Fq8B4rWcNdaJ--1JWk4xyQ1XGS0PnwNZjYWd8aMM2hOxkTuGn021SAx_tppz7J3bgf6LhaS_/s770/Letter%20from%20Goring%20July%201941%20to%20Heydrich%20regarding%20the%20Jews.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="770" data-original-width="519" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85hCjSftXp63GWNC_vcj-dkKjcrffBUy8Ly45VPnYjtBVTfzJFK4QbUfZupxj3T7SgUpCw36myVj4pYsN7YPkV__-Yf1Ub7kmvHLepUBAolm-y3K2Fq8B4rWcNdaJ--1JWk4xyQ1XGS0PnwNZjYWd8aMM2hOxkTuGn021SAx_tppz7J3bgf6LhaS_/s320/Letter%20from%20Goring%20July%201941%20to%20Heydrich%20regarding%20the%20Jews.JPG" width="216" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Eichmann was head of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA, Reich Security Central Office) Department IV B4 (Jewish affairs) that managed all the bureaucracy of the "total annihilation [Vernichtung] the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question"—the deportation and the genocide of <b><u>ALL Jews</u></b> in German-occupied Europe.

He also drew up plans for a Jewish reservation, first at Nisko in southeast Poland and later in Madagascar, but neither of these plans was carried out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After the Nazis began the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 their Jewish policy changed from emigration to "relocation" the euphemism used for "extermination".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The plans of Eichmann's office were nefarious in that they implemented means never before used in a vast modern "computerized" industrialized extermination resplendent with the means of mass murder-albeit cheaply, by zyklon b-B gas and the means of disposal of the bodies -read evidence - in "the finest German made" - baking ovens meant to turn the bodies through cremation to dust. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwNrF_DNDueywzRRmhagt7_R2ZZrWc2FaHhMeEj1KbJqx3SnTOujzVicg94xseLqDqtxlRn5trVPAy1tkjbHTOJu58Z-2S71Cv5nWX_VGjVAoN1DiCnkoIQXIvtJjyeObqIP7m_jTMJwk7yT-5T2xxqm-LJTvm60WEgOLdOmzWomqxBk_MEByYB3Tw/s1000/IBM.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwNrF_DNDueywzRRmhagt7_R2ZZrWc2FaHhMeEj1KbJqx3SnTOujzVicg94xseLqDqtxlRn5trVPAy1tkjbHTOJu58Z-2S71Cv5nWX_VGjVAoN1DiCnkoIQXIvtJjyeObqIP7m_jTMJwk7yT-5T2xxqm-LJTvm60WEgOLdOmzWomqxBk_MEByYB3Tw/s320/IBM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">It was also a "first" in it's implementation of efficiency by the use of data collected and processed IBM punch card and card sorting system-a precursor to the computer by Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen Gesellschaft, or Dehomag, IBM's German subsidiary. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was these machines that gave the Nazi regime the technology and the tools it needed to expedite and, in many ways, automate, all six phases of Hitler's war against the Jews.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was a totally monstrous plan which encompassed a vast continental wide operation that committed such immense financial and transportation resources: to track down and murder every last Jew in Europe.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On 11 May 1960 an Israel team of Mossad agents captured Eichmann near his home on Garibaldi Street in San Fernando, Buenos Aires, an industrial community 20 kilometers (12 mi) north of the centre of Buenos Aires. He was secretly transported to Israel on 22 May, and Ben-Gurion announced his capture to the Knesset the following afternoon.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Eichmann's trial before a special tribunal of the Jerusalem District Court began on 11 April 1961 in Jerusalem, Israel.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The prosecution case, presented by Israeli Attorney General Gideon Hausner, as chief prosecutor over the course of 56 days, involved hundreds of documents and 112 witnesses (many of them Holocaust survivors). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was Hausner's intention to not only demonstrate Eichmann's guilt but to present material about the entire Holocaust, thus producing a comprehensive record. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hausner's opening address, meant to bring awareness of future historians of the world to the crimes of the Holocaust began:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"It is not an individual that is in the dock at this historic trial and not the Nazi regime alone, but anti-Semitism throughout history." </span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Complicity:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In 2006 US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) declassified documents show that the capture of Eichmann caused alarm at the CIA and West German Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Both organizations had known for at least two years that Eichmann was hiding in Argentina, but they did not act because it did not serve their interests in the Cold War. Both were concerned about what Eichmann might say in his testimony about West German national security advisor Hans Globke, who had coauthored several anti-Semitic Nazi laws, including the Nuremberg Laws. The documents also revealed that both agencies had used some of Eichmann's former Nazi colleagues to spy on European communist countries.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Regretfully, as we have seen all too many times, Israeli Attorney General Gideon Hausner's prophetic words have been forgotten as there have been way to many hate filled racists as well as Palestinians and their minions who have tried to brand it is a "Hoax" as the world has done it's best to forget.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ks-6UOInR4FAFFX0nZrOeaDn3U8eyarnLUaNTXf6zYGHILvD9AGj7WDgUEF1szm6mW4lFPvmn_juSh6OS-M3g0kv6aLBtedJGRkIwVNFPZcpRU2-HkQiq_CQFTINprHgvp4fL8SATr3ihLE_hXsyTWTqQNsqhTveiRtrQtP828UCVTwsl9wOryeQ/s1615/Eisenhower%20at%20Buchenwald.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="1615" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ks-6UOInR4FAFFX0nZrOeaDn3U8eyarnLUaNTXf6zYGHILvD9AGj7WDgUEF1szm6mW4lFPvmn_juSh6OS-M3g0kv6aLBtedJGRkIwVNFPZcpRU2-HkQiq_CQFTINprHgvp4fL8SATr3ihLE_hXsyTWTqQNsqhTveiRtrQtP828UCVTwsl9wOryeQ/w640-h336/Eisenhower%20at%20Buchenwald.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">That is why this quote by General of the Army and commander of Allied Forces Europe in WWII and later President of the USA <b>Dwight D.

who would not stop arguing ALL night in my brain, was the story of the Ukraine
and just how many different versions of this sad historical tale regarding
"Our" history as the "Wandering Jews" is being spread but
this time live online on the internet and social media.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">And of course, we have the age-old Jewish part of the story,
but with an ironic twist. In that the "hero" and leader of the nation
of the story involved is Volodymyr Zelensky a "native born " Jew. </span><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhz-m41vHgsihOVtoCqNS62yV1bAAski1K4lD9BFPStHVlI_8_cFYei6VVM9mysTYBssonALSnmcLyRQXgPJaY9dO5F5GrI_w11-1BOz_olB_NTnDI24DebKAdKjkCdcF74PamYkwwnfAiIMAM652-o1_Ebbv_UVb6WA9ZJ0kt1T_qFulCvkEf2-_Sh" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="203" data-original-width="189" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhz-m41vHgsihOVtoCqNS62yV1bAAski1K4lD9BFPStHVlI_8_cFYei6VVM9mysTYBssonALSnmcLyRQXgPJaY9dO5F5GrI_w11-1BOz_olB_NTnDI24DebKAdKjkCdcF74PamYkwwnfAiIMAM652-o1_Ebbv_UVb6WA9ZJ0kt1T_qFulCvkEf2-_Sh=w186-h200" width="186" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Zelensky is THE prime example of the modern-day Jew
of the Diaspora. An atypical secular non-religious "person of Jewish
heritage" who is totally assimilated in the culture and society of his
native land. </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Yet, Zelensky is NOT the first "court Jew", whilst in
our long diaspora several Jews have achieved a place of prominence in the lands
we have settled in. There have been several Jews who have achieved-been
appointed or been elected to "high office".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">What is happening of course is an immense tragedy of human
suffering that is caused by festering hatreds based on historical differences
between peoples. These same areas that were latter termed the "Pale of
Settlement" have been an area contested and vied for centuries between the
Germanic tribes and those who would become the Polish people and the Russians. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><span style="font-size: medium;">What IS THE twist is that in THIS war is taking place in
what was once <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-pale-of-settlement" target="_blank">"The Pale of Settlement" </a>"Galicia" that
historical area where Jews fleeing the immense hatred of the Catholic Church in the aftermath of the Alhambra Decree in 1492 against the Jews were invited to
live and where confined to by Catherine the Great.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The area of the Ukraine is a vast burial ground of millions of Jews who were
butchered and murdered by the Einsatzgruppen of the Nazis and their over eager local collaborators. The very presence of local Jews was totally erased from their villages during the "Holocaust" with the overly
enthusiastic participation of many "fellow Ukrainians". Who out of fear in late 1943-1944 together with the Nazi's brought Sonderkommandos; work units made up of Jewish death camp prisoners to exhume the bodies of the victims of the executions.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">“We used to uncover the graves where there were people who had been killed during the past three years, take out the bodies, pile them up in tiers and burn these bodies, grind the bones, take out the valuables in the ashes, such as gold teeth, rings and so on, and separate them. After grinding the bones, we would throw the ashes up in the air so that they would disappear, replace the earth over the graves, and plant seeds so that nobody could recognize that there was once a grave there."</span></blockquote><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">What IS different, THIS TIME. is that these Jews fleeing the
hell of war are seeing the flag with the two blue stripes and the star of David
flying on the borders symbolizing a place to flee to OUR homeland and freedom!!
They see our representatives sent to shepherd them to life in <b><i>OUR INDIGENOUS
HOMELAND!!</i></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Our enemies, the those ever so sad descendants of the
self-inflicted tragedy of their ignomius defeat in 1948 whom I call the "Tragedy
Tourists of Nachbaland™" and their overly enthusiastic minion of
anti-Semite followers are once more frustrated and full of sick vile vulgar
hatred once more! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Only this time they cannot refuse our people, who in dire
need to flee death DO have the doors open to our homeland. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The long history of the Jews and the Ukraine</span></h4><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Many of the descendants of Jews in Europe are according to
DNA studies descendants of the more than 100,000+ Jewish male and some female
slaves sent to work the marble mines of Northern Italy with Vespasian's defeat
of the "First" Jewish Revolt in 73CE.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Eastern Ukraine was home to the Khazar empire, a kingdom of
Turkic people that arose in southeastern Russia in the 6th Century CE and
extended as far west as Kiev, the capital of present-day Ukraine. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is said that in the 8th Century, that the area was ruled
by a semi-divine king called a Khagan, and local chieftains called “Begs”.
Legend says that the Khazar king at that time invited representatives from the
three monotheistic faiths to his palace and listened to each of them discuss
their religion. It is said that the Khazar king was so struck with Judaism’s
beauty and lucidity that he converted to Judaism and ordered that his followers
do so as well. According to this story many Khazars became Jewish, embracing
Jewish holidays and Shabbat and keeping kosher.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Halevi (1075-1141) wrote The Kuzari, a beautiful philosophical book that
imagined the discussion between the king of the Khazars and the visiting rabbi.
The Kuzari is accepted as a robust defense of Judaism against critics from other
religions and from indifference.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the early Middle Ages, the largely Jewish kingdom of the
Khazars was buffeted by invading Russian forces, which ransacked its capital
city in about the year 965 CE. The end of the Khazar kingdom came in the 1200s,
when Mongol tribes invaded much of present-day Ukraine and Poland, causing huge
devastation and loss of life.</span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">In order to build back its power and wealth, Poland invited
new residents to move into its territories from the west, primarily from
Germanic lands. The Middle Ages were indeed a tumultuous time in Ukraine.
Accounts describe the city of Kiev as being home to a substantial Jewish
community in the 11th and 12th centuries. There were two heavily Jewish suburbs
of the city, and one entryway into Kiev’s city walls that was known as the
“Jewish Gate”. There are also references to a Jewish scholar at the time known
as Moshe ben Yaakov of Kiev.</span></div><div><o:p></o:p><p></p>

had invited Jews to settle and granted certain privileges to Jews. For example,
he prohibited the kidnapping of Jewish children under penalty of death for the
purpose of enforced Christian baptism, and he inflicted heavy punishment for
the desecration of Jewish cemeteries. Casimir III the Great confirmed these privileges
granted the Jews and allowed the exiled Spanish Jews to settle in Poland in
great numbers and protected them as people of the king<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Poland’s invitation for immigrants to come attracted Jews
who were fleeing massacres in central Europe in the wake of the Crusades and
the Black Death. Jews settled throughout Poland, including in territories that
form present-day Ukraine, most notably the region of Volhynia, which lies at
the intersection of Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. By the 1400s, up to 30,000 Jews
were thought to be living in 60 different communities across Ukraine, including
in the present-day capital city, Kiev.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

(1700-1760) didn’t live in Ukraine; his home was a couple of miles outside the
Ukrainian border, in Poland. But the friend and disciple who spread the ideas
of Hasidic Judaism and developed it into a distinct religious movement did so
within Ukraine, from his base in the city of Mezeritch.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Rabbi Dov Ber, also known as the Maggid (preacher) of
Mezeritch (1704-1772), first consulted with the Baal Shem Tov when he was ill.
The Baal Shem Tov was known as a healer, as well as a religious sage. Rabbi Dov
Ber was so impressed that he adopted the Baal Shem Tov’s worldview, which
emphasized worshiping God with joy. Within a generation, Ukraine was home to
some of the most important and influential Hasidic masters, including Rabbi
Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev and Menachem Nachum (and his son Modechai Twersky)
of Chernobil. Ukrainian Jewish communities embraced Hasidic Judaism, with its
emphasis on rigorously religious practice combined with spirituality and an
emphasis on infusing religious observance with joy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Perhaps the greatest Hasidic rabbi in Ukraine was Rabbi
Nahman, from the Ukrainian town of Breslov (1772-1811), a great grandson of the
Baal Shem Tov and a direct descendent of the Maharal, one of Europe’s greatest
rabbis who lived in 16th century Prague. Rabbi Nahman built a large community
in the Ukrainian town of Zlapotol in the early 1800s. He taught that Jews
should strive to feel close to God at all times, and that feeling happy is best
way to appreciate all of God’s many blessings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Ukrainian town of Uman, about 125 miles south of Kiev,
is where Rabbi Nachman of Breslov lived during his final years and is buried.
Uman has emerged as a major pilgrimage site for thousands of Jews each year.
The most popular time to go is Rosh Hashanah, when tens of thousands of Jews
visit Uman to celebrate the holiday together in the place where Rabbi Nahman
taught.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Cossack communities from the domination of Polish landlords. The leader of
these attacks was Bohdan Chmielnicki, who agitated for an independent Ukrainian
country. Reflecting Cossack culture, Chmielnicki blamed Jews for his
countrymen’s problems and encouraged his followers to massacre Jews.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Between 1648 and 1651, Chmielnicki’s followers killed about
20,000 Jews with unimaginable barbarity. Approximately half of all Jews living
in Ukraine fled. So great was the Cossacks’’ depravity that some terrified Jews
even fled into Crimea, where they faced slavery in the hands of Muslim Tatars.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The official records of the Jewish community in Kiev
recorded the beginning of the massacres:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Immediately after the death of the pious King Wladyslaw
(1648) tens of thousands of villains, among them Cossacks…went forth and
committed manu murders in the holy communities of Niemirow, Tulczyn, Machnowka,
and other hold communities who congregated in order to save their lives from
the…sword… Since the destruction of the Temple no other cruel murder like this
one was committed for the sanctification of the name” of God."</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Another eyewitness account described:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">“they massacred about 6,000 souls in the town…and they
drowned several hundreds in the water and by all kinds of cruel torments. In the
synagogue, before the Holy Ark, they slaughtered with butchers’ knives…after
which they destroyed the synagogue and took out all the Torah books…they tore
them up…and they laid them out…for men and animals to trample on…they also made
sandals of them…and several other garments.” The Cossacks knew no bounds in
their sadism and cruelty and attacked and killed Jews – as well as some Polish
nobles – with horrific barbarity."</span></blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Chmielnicki appealed for military aid from Russia and in
1654 much of Cossack-controlled Ukraine became a client state of Russia.
Sporadic pogroms continued through the years, most notably in the city of Uman
in 1768.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ukrainians blamed Jews for their landlords’ greed.</span></h4><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Jewish life in present-day Ukraine became even more
entrenched after 1569, when much of present-day Ukraine came under a new
political alliance, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ukraine was an uneasy mix of many different ethnic groups.
Much of the farmland and industry in Ukraine was the property of Polish nobles
who were Catholic. The peasants in Ukraine were a mix of Eastern Orthodox
Ukrainians and groups known as Cossacks, who lived primarily in the southern
part of Ukraine. In the far south, the Crimean Peninsula was owned by the
Ottoman Empire and populated largely by Tatar Muslims, who engaged in constant,
low level warfare with Cossacks along their border. Both groups would stage skirmishes
into each other’s territories, seizing property and slaves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">With many farms and businesses owned by absentee Polish
landlords and nobles, an exploitative system called "Arenda"
developed, which allowed agents to manage farms and other enterprises on behalf
of absent landlords. It was often Jews who were employed to manage the "Arenda
economy", acting as caretakers for absentee nobles and landowners. Jews
managed salt mines, farms, mills, and inns. They also became local tax
collectors for Polish noblemen. Many "Arendas" were given out in the
alcohol trade: brewing, selling alcohol and managing inns and taverns were
often seen as Jewish professions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Working for hated landlords put Jews in an impossible
position: they needed the "Arenda" system in order to survive
economically, but the local peasants blamed Jews for their employers’ increasingly
abusive practices. When Polish nobles increased taxes on their already
suffering tenants, it was their Jewish agents who bore the blame. In time,
extreme antisemitism became engrained in much of Ukrainian culture.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The term “pogrom” was invented after riots in Ukraine.</span></h4><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1881, Czar Alexander II was murdered by a left-wing
terrorist. Soon, it was being (incorrectly) reported across Russia that the new
Czar Alexander III had ordered Russian subjects to kill Jews. Pogroms broke
out, with the greatest number taking place in Ukraine. These weren’t the first
massacres of Jews in Ukraine and elsewhere in the Pale of Settlement, but the
frequency and intensity of the mob attacks resulted in the phenomenon being
given a new name: pogrom, which means violence in Russian.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg41jcUFNcBxCvlnCCOtEJnmAVMLab8Og1-fl-Dpy514N2fV9YPMEZAYY-NvRnAd5JpFoZRIDW-bzEmXHrQpmi9YMw4LhB-7rhNKoKoTUezGX-IzOByKPi7yDj3KSTzhIY9M08Tj9ASYQzE8pOUYVVxbsqyDYnFotTtuCMoCKqSclMGlbWH4Zq_t92l" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="413" data-original-width="579" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg41jcUFNcBxCvlnCCOtEJnmAVMLab8Og1-fl-Dpy514N2fV9YPMEZAYY-NvRnAd5JpFoZRIDW-bzEmXHrQpmi9YMw4LhB-7rhNKoKoTUezGX-IzOByKPi7yDj3KSTzhIY9M08Tj9ASYQzE8pOUYVVxbsqyDYnFotTtuCMoCKqSclMGlbWH4Zq_t92l=w200-h143" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">In April 1903 an Easter pogrom took place in Moldova’s capital, Kishinev. Forty-nine Jews were murdered, hundreds brutally injured.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Pogroms continued throughout the end of the 19th century.
Some of the most horrible pogroms took place in 1905, after Czar Nicholas II
issued the October Manifesto, guaranteeing all Russian subjects some basic
political rights. The manifesto came at a perilous time in Russian politics,
with political rivals ready to attack each other. As violence broke out, mobs
turned on the Jews in their midst. Some of the worst anti-Jewish attacks were
in the Ukrainian city of Odessa: The Jewish newspaper Voskhod reported that
over 800 Jews were murdered in pogroms in Odessa in the days following the
October Manifesto, and several thousands more were wounded.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Ukraine’s capital. There, the rampaging crowds attacked Jews for three days and
nights. One of the terrified Jews during that ordeal was the well-known Yiddish
writer known as Sholem Aleichem (his real name was Solomon Naumovich
Rabinovich). For three days, he and his family hid in a hotel, listening to the
terrible screams from their fellow Jews as they were attacked, maimed and
killed outside.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sholem Aleichem’s daughter later described the moment they
realized their lives were in danger: “We ran from our beds to the windows on
the street and looked down on the scene of brutality and murder – a gang of
hoodlums beating a poor young Jew with heavy sticks; blood was running over the
face of the young man, who was vainly shrieking for aid. A policeman stood
nearby, casually looking on and not moving a finger.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">After the Kiev pogrom, Sholem Aleichem’s entire family fled
Ukraine, eventually settling in New York.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Russian Revolution in 1917, the Polish Ukrainian War of
1918-1919, the Ukrainian War of Independence, and the Soviet-Polish War of 1919-1921
sparked waves of hundreds of pogroms across the region which killed
approximately 100,000 Jews. (Ukraine was briefly independent, before being
divided by Poland and Russia.)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The violence was unspeakably intense. In the Ukrainian town
of Proskurov, for instance, a three-day pogrom that broke out on February 15,
1919 killed 1,500 Jews. The town of Pogrebinschi experienced two pogroms: in
May, 1919 Soviet troops went on a murderous rampage, killing 400 Jews. Three
months later, Ukrainian nationalists staged a second pogrom and murdered a
further 350 Jews there. Over 1,300 towns became scenes of horrific violence
towards Jews.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”― Soren Kierkegaard </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As a teacher of History I do make long detailed entries because I want the truth and the whole truth to be told all based on carefully detailed research of factual and reliable sources. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As I pointed out in one of my latest Blog entries, I abhor lies and the "art of dezinformatsiya", which is regretfully used way too often by unscrupulous "News Sources (Mass Media) and Social Media" today to pervert the truth. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In the 1950's during the "Cold War" the Soviet Union initiated a super-secret program to undermine the Western Democracies through the use of the cherished democratic "Freedom of the press" by the cynical "art of dezinformatsiya", a format that was created by Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, who was chief of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">According to Vasily Mitrokhin, who was a former senior officer of the Soviet Foreign Intelligence service, and later demoted to KGB archivist. It was Joseph Stalin who coined the term in Russian in a closed meeting with Beria. However, it was Beira who choose to use a French-sounding name to claim it had a Western origin. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is this “art” of dezinformatsiya that uses information inadmissible in proper historical discourse, by presenting known forged documents as genuine; inventing ingenious but implausible reasons for distrusting genuine documents; attributing conclusions to books and sources that report the opposite; manipulating statistical series to support the given point of view; and deliberately mis-translating texts (in languages other than the revisionist's) all have been fabricated around a kernel of truth, but unattributable to those who publish them to push lies and political agendas.</span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDg5KrurLNQ8_wzBTu9dn6mJsOP8hsWnBCIMOorR4fu63K6VSua-gt4-iqW-m8XDBBUZcyKnBM2qml1p_vhzyF95aUxzr1wmHl-QsWcdiWdAFFmsxVmvovR5YCEH5vjTRt7QYlE80FQ9sqmeQu_LXFXEXz0IHguxogBjCaSScDTBOgRVI9UQ9R8H0K=s1000" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjDg5KrurLNQ8_wzBTu9dn6mJsOP8hsWnBCIMOorR4fu63K6VSua-gt4-iqW-m8XDBBUZcyKnBM2qml1p_vhzyF95aUxzr1wmHl-QsWcdiWdAFFmsxVmvovR5YCEH5vjTRt7QYlE80FQ9sqmeQu_LXFXEXz0IHguxogBjCaSScDTBOgRVI9UQ9R8H0K=s320" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: medium;">In recent times we have all witnessed the outcome of the success of this "dezinformatsiya" program in all the massive media campaign to discredit President Donald J Trump, as I pointed out in this Meme that I made to counter the utter lies. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We have seen this also all over the world wide web and social media of how people ignorant of science are openly spreading lies and conspiracy theories based on fraudulent or "cooked" information regarding vaccinations and the Corona Virus.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj-MaWV3sIz8F534YHxWYVfYd3dUlLJ1dwKyAxfQ9RKS4-dZINRjXBK4pTE-A8A_2hVP_tf0TQugFLS6vNUXpTHzLmE3pZfNYJTGunGRYeYamRXw5QsE9-sfRGyKLnBf8qRgAyNoVaWxc8xYU_VDoeTZvdVO1H-DCzlUXvqfwf1hYsImm-NSEA6R-Ql=s1070" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="729" data-original-width="1070" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj-MaWV3sIz8F534YHxWYVfYd3dUlLJ1dwKyAxfQ9RKS4-dZINRjXBK4pTE-A8A_2hVP_tf0TQugFLS6vNUXpTHzLmE3pZfNYJTGunGRYeYamRXw5QsE9-sfRGyKLnBf8qRgAyNoVaWxc8xYU_VDoeTZvdVO1H-DCzlUXvqfwf1hYsImm-NSEA6R-Ql=s320" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">We have seen countless times how American TV celebrities' and newscasters have relayed incorrect and bogus lies many times to appease their viewing audience and all of which only to keep their ratings high so the networks will be pleased. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The exact same is true of journalism today. The audience and paying customers today wish to watch rather than read has lead to the widespread demise of the market for printed "newspapers" and magazines. This has led the editors and management of printed journalism to accept the change and adopt the World Wide Web and create web sites. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Once management of the printed newspapers could guage their profit and attractability to advertisers by the amount of newspapers or magazines sold. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For all news sources today it is a totally different form of assessment based on "visits" hits to their websites which are the major source for enticement to advertisers as well as paying customers who are drawn to the websites by articles designed to attract customers. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">There are editors of many once respected News sources who have cynically turned to the use of "click bait" on Talkbacks to lure in readers and to gain responses (clicks) and have turned their backs on the once taunted "Ethical journalism" like the New York Times whose byline was once "All the news fit to print".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Editorial management of "News sites", as we have witnessed today, could care less about monitoring the vile comments made n response to their articles -because for them the more comments that are made the greater the "hits" their web page receive and this increases web page interaction and therefore increases the value of their web site to advertisers. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Many times the articles posted are from unscrupulous or nefariously biased sources paid local journalists and photo-journalist known as "stringers" whose "photo ops" or "news stories" that they relay to the actual journalists are many times tainted by the use of mendacious lies, blatantly false and fictitious historical revisionism and abject hatred to draw attention.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The image of the ethical Journalist, and especially foreign news correspondents, who once would do his or hers own detailed and thorough research to present the news in an honest, ethical, and unbiased way is regretfully a thing of the past.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Freedom of the press and freedom of speech should not extend to political subversion and the spreading of false accusations and conspiracy theories nor to spread terrorist propaganda. Those "news sources" that do spread lies and defame the freedom of the press and speech should be openly ostracized and boycotted.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It should be ascertained that the core purpose of a journalist is to present facts objectively to allow the readers to form their own conclusions as in being a true unbiased News Source.</span></p><p><br /></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-63693763230270147592022-01-07T17:37:00.024+02:002022-10-29T14:00:11.775+03:00I hate and abhor falsehood and its name is PalestinePsalm 119: 163 "<b>I hate and abhor falsehood<i></i></b>;" <div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiyA-TMn3O-bJZsE0D1oDF54ZIEG9aWuq5YRSZDXa4ftZ5i-89tWvOwuaayIbPO9PNonKfrDkTPeJAcfN4h-CrwETmdr8iVhOvX3A1izKiaj6QsDMio7o-_R2QBM15n0_gtoo7q3nl5hUE9dqxJcougH_68BkHLZmd-c7kqYZtb-slUhbqJ-5HmWmuM=s361" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="262" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiyA-TMn3O-bJZsE0D1oDF54ZIEG9aWuq5YRSZDXa4ftZ5i-89tWvOwuaayIbPO9PNonKfrDkTPeJAcfN4h-CrwETmdr8iVhOvX3A1izKiaj6QsDMio7o-_R2QBM15n0_gtoo7q3nl5hUE9dqxJcougH_68BkHLZmd-c7kqYZtb-slUhbqJ-5HmWmuM=s320" width="232" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">One of THE most cherished slanders and perversions of the truth is <b><i>the use of the term "Palestine" </i></b>and how the "<b><i>Arabs of the Mandated Areas</i></b>" who have <b><i>usurped</i></b> the term <b><i>"Palestinians"</i></b> to describe themselves. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>"When in 1921 I came to Palestine – until the end of World War I it was a barren, sparsely inhabited Turkish province – we, the Jewish pioneers, were the avowed Palestinians.

"Heart of Dixie" Birmingham Alabama. My grandfather Ernest (Elisha
ben Natanel HaLevi) had owned several small stores in the millinery business
(primarily Hats and gloves) throughout the "Greater Birmingham Area"
in the pre-Jacqueline Kennedy period when it was "fashionable for women to
wear hats and gloves. He also had "Hat" departments in the large
Department Stores owned by my "Mishpucah" relatives in the area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Many times, they came to the Department Store owned by my
relatives -which had "Hat" departments and would purchase clothing
for their children. When I was just 14 my grandfather took me to work with him.
I would run items to the stores and collect the daily sales receipts from the
stores in downtown Birmingham Alabama. When I went out on my runs, I would stop
at my other maternal Grandfather Ben Levy's "Levy Brother's
Drugstore" where my grandfather was the pharmacist.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the past it was quite common, as it regretfully is today,
that many "Afro American" women worked to support their families, as
single mothers. Many worked as maids in the homes of middle and upper class
wealthy white families from before dawn to late at night for meager pay. These
women were dependent on local city-wide public transportation "bus
service" on the "segregated buses to reach their "jobs" in
the suburbs.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Many of these women had been studious in school and had
achieved education. Many found that the doors to better paying jobs were few in
number and the job market was severely limited due to outright racism and
jealousy by lower class whites who were not willing to allow a Black man and
especially a Black woman to be superior to them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>Since these Afro-American women were very "devout
Christians" they were the main customers of my grandfather's and
relatives' businesses. In the days before "credit cards" these women
would purchase Hats and gloves months in advance on a "Lay-away" plan
for Easter. Many of these hard-working women would go to the Department Stores
owned by my relatives and purchase clothing items also in "easy payment
plans" that were highly flexible -many times based on the very close and
personal relations that developed between Jewish families and Afro-American families.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Therefore, when Easter approached and my Grandfather's
Jewish accountant Sarah Lischkoff saw that some of these women were in arrears,
my grandfather would ask Sarah to have the women who managed the hat
departments or stores to notify them that they could have their items that they
had placed in "Lay-a-way" to wear for Easter. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">My grandfather never "demanded" payment of them
since he knew many of these women and their families. Sometimes he would leave
an envelope in their box with money knowing their hardships they faced. I
remember my "Uncle Leon Aland" and his brothers would do the same.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In the drugstore of my other maternal grandfather Ben Levy
there was a "coloured only section" in the rear of the store. I
remember many times when my grandfather or his younger brother Morris z"l
would see that a customer was hesitant to ask for a needed medication that they
would give it to them. Sometimes so as to not go against the pride of the
person who could not pay, he would place the ordained medicine in place of the
cheaper item that the customer took so as to not offend their pride.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I can also remember how he gave out treats and candies to
the children. Occasionally when he saw that a child was hungry, he would go to
the food counter of the store and ask the worker to prepare something for the
child.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>As Jews in the deep South, we were considerate and highly
aware of the conditions of the Blacks and sympathized deeply with their plight
because many of the same limitations and manners of discrimination that over
the years had once been carried out openly became "discreet".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">All of our grandparents were aware of the story of Leo Frank
and the underlying ancient hatred of the Jews that led to his murder and
especially that hatred motivated by the Jewish connection to the Red Scare of
1919–1921 that had fueled xenophobic fears of foreign radicals migrating to
undermine American values and provoke an uprising like the 1917 Bolshevik
Revolution in Russia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Many "White Americans" primarily those from the
"superior European lands" suffered from generations of open
anti-Jewishness and anti-Semitism. I personally found that the highest level of
Jew hatred came from the Catholics of Irish descent and their hatred was
applied against us Jews and the Afro-Americans.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have always found that hatred was taught. That when those
of "superior European lands" and the Catholics of Irish descent came
into direct personal contact with us Jews and learned that we were not
"monsters" and "children of Satan" their views and relationship
changed.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are many detractors among the Afro-Americans of
America today -especially those brainwashed members of Black Lives Matter, that
claim that Jews were NOT as badly treated as Afro-Americans because we are
"White" and appear to be the priviledged "Caucasians".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

"White Privilege" because after generations of living in Europe many
Jews are indeed fair skinned, which is obvious to the eye and therefore we
could "assimilate" and acquire "Privilege". These hate-filled
"Historical Revisionists" and rabid anti-Semites have embraced the
writings of Arthur Koestler from his 1967 book "<i>The Thirteenth Tribe: The
Khazarian Empire and its Heritage</i>" as "proof" of the anti-Semitic
conspiracy theories around the Khazars’ reported conversion to Judaism. This
spurred anti-Semitic beliefs that they were building a secret empire which
sought widespread control through financial gains.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">They point out that the Khazars moved into and settled in
Eastern Europe, and antisemites push the conspiracy theory that Ashkenazi Jews
from Eastern Europe—are not “real Jews” - a phrase claiming that today’s Jews
are not the chosen people referenced in the Bible and are working to infiltrate
other nations on their quest for world domination. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Khazarian trope is being widely spread by the minions of
the "falestinian Nachba Tragedy Tourists" and their brainwashed and
bamboozled sycophants to undermine the Jewish connection to Israel, and
therefore Israel’s right to exist, because it falsely says Jews originated from
the northern Caucasus region and were part of the Turkic empire—and not the
Land of Israel.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some antisemites on both the right and left now openly claim
that Ashkenazi Jews are “fake Jews,” and that Israel is a “fake nation.” This
accusation has been used historically and continues to be used by those who
believe in the "Khazarian conspiracy theory" dispelling the Jewish
connection to Israel</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Few of these same brainwashed detractors today are oblivious
to their "bamboozlement" that this part of "Aryan racism"
was a major part of the Nazi regime. And they are uneducated in the historical
truth of how the Nazi doctors and scientists made portfolios of the "Hated
Jews" to "Prove" that Jews were not a religious denomination,
but a dangerous "non-European race.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Nazi's believed the Jews were not a religious
denomination, but a dangerous "non-European race" and their racial
antisemitism was based on false scientific theories. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">This aspect of racism was always an integral part of Nazism
and it is has become an integral part of the "Historic Revisionist"
put forward by the Arabs of the Mandated Areas aka the "Palestinians"
in their efforts to usurp the connection of the Jewish people to our indigenous
homeland of Eretz Yisrael.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">This "Historical Revisionism" now has Black
supremacists claiming Black people—not Jews—are the true chosen people of God
and that Black supremacy has roots in “<i>Black Chosenness</i>”— the belief that
African Americans are the descendants of the twelve Hebrew tribes of Israel who
settled across Africa after the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel and were
eventually sold into slavery during the Atlantic slave trade.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>Black supremacy argues that Black people are superior to all
other races and that “white” Jews are imposters. Elements of Black supremacy
can be found within the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, as well as within
Nation of Islam under the leadership of Louis Farrakhan and his supporters. In
the age of social media, some Black supremacists have co-opted the language of
white supremacists when discussing Jews: calling them “termites” and “bugs”

received notoriety in the aftermath of the riots in<a href="https://mydailykvetch.blogspot.com/2014/11/from-falestine-with-love-to-ferguson.html" target="_blank"> Fergusson Missouri</a> when the
"Palestinians" and their communist left wing anti-Zionist backers
"hijacked" the momentum to finally undermined the once very close
relationship between Jews and Afro-Americans.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">As a Jew in the Deep South, I grew up learning that we Jews
-from our experiences in Eastern Europe lived always with the realization that
anti-Jewish sentiments lurked in the "darkness".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">That the little help we gave in kindness to the poor -yes
even the poor whites, was overlooked when it came to the "Mark of
Cain" that still exists and lurks openly and increasingly on the Internet
through various World Wide Web formats even today in the teachings that;
"Jews murdered the Christ". </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hatred never dies, it only mutates and thrives in the hearts of those who are unwilling and cannot accept that there are those who are different from them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

I had asked those on Facebook who read it to share my "Thoughts" </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkS7Wr13BqRfBpCdCGjdfJj0KrSCzIYt99x4c_DLqyeUQTWrjrStJv41QsLAxiWmmKRu3Bs6lF5aOPsJRgMmX1Dv7BjubhHRxQtzWkH4egQVG6HeYH3uGSKZ01r1J7N0ZAy-7Ho9sIPd0/s602/Gwen+Berry+obsessed.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="444" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkS7Wr13BqRfBpCdCGjdfJj0KrSCzIYt99x4c_DLqyeUQTWrjrStJv41QsLAxiWmmKRu3Bs6lF5aOPsJRgMmX1Dv7BjubhHRxQtzWkH4egQVG6HeYH3uGSKZ01r1J7N0ZAy-7Ho9sIPd0/s320/Gwen+Berry+obsessed.jpg" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What has been bothering me for the past few days, and has caused me to lie in bed unable to sleep, is the image of Gwen Berry the "Black American". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When receiving the high honor of a medal for athletic achievement in the name of "OUR" country, Gwen Berry choose to show the resentment and hatred that she has been taught by those who adhere to a hatred of an old norm in American society by standing with a clenched upraised fist her head bowed and turned away in disrespect.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As I looked at the image, I was reminded of a ship captain from Massachusetts named William Driver who coined the nickname “Old Glory”.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When writing about his thoughts to recollect the reason he referred to the American flag “Old Glory,” Driver proclaimed; </span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>“It has ever been my staunch companion and protection. Savages and heathens, lowly and oppressed, hailed and welcomed it at the far end of the wide world. Then, why should it not be called Old Glory?” </i> </span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I think ALL Americans can readily agree with our fellow "Black American" citizens that the issue of racism and "white supremacy" and the values spread by those who are so blinded by hatred need to be dealt with severely. With that said, those "educators" who teach "racial toleration" and "diversity"should <i><b>also keep in mind the words of unity and freedom.</b></i></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtwJdx8TLD-olgKaKOFxuOGCDz-NU9iMvyS40PbYwVsVcOpsZPO-UzXHbDjSZzO2CJFZ1D3uV9KkUINxDAkzPpDDfBW9DN82O9azbnxEVIJmwx4blM0EgH7EIoUz3KapmVpqmzkXsXTo/s903/The+Star-Spangled+Banner.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="679" data-original-width="903" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtwJdx8TLD-olgKaKOFxuOGCDz-NU9iMvyS40PbYwVsVcOpsZPO-UzXHbDjSZzO2CJFZ1D3uV9KkUINxDAkzPpDDfBW9DN82O9azbnxEVIJmwx4blM0EgH7EIoUz3KapmVpqmzkXsXTo/s320/The+Star-Spangled+Banner.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">As a historian who actually READ the poem <b><i>"Defense of Fort M'Henry" </i></b>I can most readily agree that the wording of the third stanza of the poem, which later formed the basis for the lyrics of the <i><b>“The Star-Spangled Banner” </b></i>-those <b><i><u>three</u></i></b> stanzas were NOT used. It is apparent that the stanza WOULD be repugnant and offensive to Black Americans like Gwen Berry. So <b><i>YES</i></b>, <i>these offensive stanzas <b>SHOULD BE stricken from the entire congressional resolution</b></i><b> </b>from March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301)!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For those who do not know the wording of the third stanza, it DOES speak in a very derogatory manner about Black slaves <i><b>who fled to join the British army and navy</b></i> to gain their freedom and to fight against the American forces. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As Gwen Berry stated:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"<i><b>If you know your history</b></i>, you know the full song of the national anthem, <i><b>the third paragraph speaks to slaves in America</b></i>, our blood being slain...all over the floor.

There's no question."</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">But <i><b>Gwen dear if you knew your history as YOU and ALL your "Black American activists" claim, it does NOT "allude to the catching and beating slaves!"</b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is why in education reading comprehension and the meaning of words and <b><i>HISTORICAL CONTEXT is IMPORTANT!</i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Key was referring to ex slaves who joined the British forces to fight against America.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Yes, Gwen, Francis Scott Key WAS a slaveholder!</i></b> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Which regrettably was an <b><i>abhorrent "norm"</i></b> in the pre-Civil War American society, but nary a mention is given to those thousands of Americans who died in a bloody Civil War fighting to emancipate Black Americans.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<i>"It is sweet and honourable to die for one's country,"</i> or <i>"It is sweet and fitting to die for the fatherland”</i> and the words can be heard echoed in Joseph Trumpeldor’s last words at Tel Chai:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">‘Ein davar, tov lamut be'ad arẓenu’ (‘Never mind;

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"> The Background:</span></o:p></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">There is no single cause for the War of 1812 but several
related causes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In Europe, Britain, the naval power, and France, the land
power, were at war with each other. Each side was trying to cripple the other’s
economy with blockades and confiscation of trade goods. And the United States
was trying to remain neutral. Britain issued Orders-in-Council, treating as an
enemy any vessel that tried to enter a French port without first stopping at a
British port to pay a fee and get a license. The British felt this was
necessary in order to defeat Napoleon, but the Americans felt Britain was
insisting they should have no trade of their own and that she should control
all their foreign commerce; they felt their independence was at stake.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The United States retaliated with the Embargo Act, which
stopped all United States merchant vessels from sailing from United States
ports and forbade commerce with any foreign nation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Embargo adversely affected all regions of the United
States, resulting in a depression that all but paralyzed the economy of the
United States. Smuggling along the Canadian border flourished. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>MARITIME ISSUES</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Impressment was the most volatile issue between the United
States and Britain. This was because it dealt with sovereignty. Impressment
involved the right to search commercial ships for deserters. Poor food, hard
work, and harsh discipline caused British sailors to desert by the thousands.
Most of them ended up in America. Britain never claimed the right to search
vessels of the United States Navy. She did claim the right to search private
vessels as she felt this involved no invasion of another nation's sovereignty.
Americans considered this to be an insult to their sovereignty.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>EXPANSIONISM</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The division of land after the Revolution did not leave
everyone satisfied. The loss of the Ohio River valley, housing vital fur trade
routes, displeased Canadian and British merchants. It also served home to a
large Indigenous population, a large part of which had supported the British
during the American Revolution and now argued for an autonomous Indigenous
state to be created south and west of Lake Erie.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Americans felt that British support of the First Nations
was a threat to their expansion and their policy of forcing the conversion of
First Nations peoples to farmers, giving up their hunting lands for American
use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The primary cause for the call to invade Canada was the
perceived support the British in Canada were giving the Natives of the
Northwest. The Americans did not miss that Canada was Britain's last foothold
on the continent either. As relations with Britain worsened, the call for
expansion both north and south increased in volume and frequency. The
exhaustion of the farm lands in the Old Northwest caused land-hungry farmers to
call for the conquest of Canada with its good lands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p> </o:p>POLITICAL</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">All these issues resulted in the surfacing of a small yet
persuasive political faction known as the War Hawks, led by Henry Clay of
Kentucky, who was elected to Congress in 1810. The War Hawks demanded war with
Britain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

M'Henry"</i></b> which later formed the basis for the lyrics of the “The
Star-Spangled Banner”. Although the poem has four stanzas, only the first stanza
forms the National Anthem today. Here are all four stanzas of “The
Star-Spangled Banner”</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What so proudly we
hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

fight,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there —<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">O! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

by the U.S. Navy in 1889, and by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and was
made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46
Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. § 301), which was signed by President Herbert
Hoover.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

11, 1843. From the time of the creation of the southern colonies with their
large agriculturally based lifestyle, slavery had become a "necessary
evil". By the beginning of the nineteenth century most of the large
"plantations" were wholly dependent on slave labor.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Key inherited not only his family's Plantation "Terra
Rubra," in Frederick County, Maryland, upon the death of his father he
also became a slave holder.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">According to historical records, Key purchased his first
slave in 1800 or 1801 and owned six slaves in 1820. He freed seven slaves in
the 1830s, one of whom continued to work for him for wages as his farm's
foreman, supervising several slaves. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Key also represented several slaves seeking their freedom,
as well as several slave-owners seeking return of their runaway slaves. Key was
one of the executors of John Randolph of Roanoke's will, which freed his 400
slaves, and Key fought to enforce the will for the next decade and to provide
the freed slaves with land to support themselves.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Key is known to have publicly criticized slavery's
cruelties, and a newspaper editorial stated that "he often volunteered to
defend the downtrodden sons and daughters of Africa." The editor said that
Key "convinced me that slavery was wrong—radically wrong".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">There is a quote being falsely attributed to Key taken out
of context from ambiguities in the 1937 biography of Key by Edward S.
Delaplainem that is being used to defame Key as a "racist".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The truth is Key, who was a leader, fundraiser and was a
founding member for the American Colonization Society organization, was in
actuality describing the attitudes of Southern religious institutions in reply
to an 1838 "questionnaire" that he wrote to Reverend Benjamin Tappan
of Maine.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In his reply to Reverend Tappan, Key cities the attitude of
Southern religious institutions that asserted that; "formerly enslaved
blacks could not remain in the U.S. as paid laborers". <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Key's personal thoughts, as a leader and fundraiser for the
American Colonization Society organization, was not to send the men and women
he freed to Africa upon their emancipation.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">It was the attitude of the Southern religious institutions and
most members of Southern Society who in many cases were wholly dependent on
slave labor that free blacks are;</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">"a distinct and inferior race of people, which all
experience proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Prejudicial historians have argued that upper-class American
society, of which Key was a part, could never "envision a multiracial
society". These "historians" are writing from a viewpoint now blinded
by the passage of time and of norms in society at that particular period, no
matter how antiquated and despised they are now. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is a HISTORICAL FACT that in the northern part of the
newly founded United States -North of the "Mason Dixon Line", the
majority of the populace was of "White Europeans". There had
previously NOT been a number of "racially" different citizens since
in the Northern US Colonies there was little need for field hands like on the large
farming plantations of the South. Because of this there were very few if any
"Black" slaves in most of the New England colonies.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">By the beginnings of the 19th Century, the majority of free
blacks born in the Northern colonies which became the United States.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The American Colonization Society of which Francis Scott Key
was a leading member was not supported by most abolitionists or free blacks of
the time since the members were predominantly slave owners. It was through the
organization's work that eventually led to the creation of Liberia in 1847.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Abolitionists alleged that as District Attorney, Francis Scott
Key suppressed abolitionists and did not support an immediate end to slavery.
Yet these detractors failed to note that Key was also a leader of the American
Colonization Society which endeavored to send freed slaves to lives of freedom
in Africa. Key freed some of his slaves in the 1830s, paying one ex-slave as
his farm foreman. He publicly criticized slavery and gave free legal
representation to some slaves seeking freedom, but he also represented owners
of runaway slaves.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">By 1810, more than 15 percent of the U.S. population was
enslaved. Some 6,000 African Americans fled to the British during the War of
1812, on the promise of freedom and were recruited into the Royal Navy or into
the Colonial Marines, which was a mostly black unit. The Colonial Marines was
part of the British forces that overran Washington, D.C., in 1814 and set fire
to the White House.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">From March of 1813 to September 1814, the British Navy
occupied the Chesapeake Bay and its islands. On April 2, 1814, Admiral
Alexander Cochrane proclaimed that any escaped slave who made it to British
lines or a British vessel and was willing to enlist in the Royal Marines would
be freed. Several thousand Maryland slaves risked capture from slave patrols to
escape to the British. Seven hundred slaves enlisted in the British Marines and
served with bravery at the Battles of Bladensburg and North Point.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The first three lines refer to the slaves who took advantage
of the war to escape, but <i>"their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps' pollution." </i>There was <i>"no refuge"</i> for the
<i>"hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the
grave."</i> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">For many when Key wrote these words, he was expressing his
despisal for those former slaves, who had joined the British as part of their
Colonial Marines, to be slaughtered and killed as they attempted to take
Baltimore. Though Key never told anyone what he actually meant in this line it
more than probably is correct.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">What is shameful is that those 700 Black American men who
escaped bondage and offered themselves to serve the British did so not only
their own freedom, but the freedom of all who were enslaved in the "land
of the free". These men were true heroes and should be honored. The pity is they had
to fight for the British, not the Americans.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">In light of today's values it is regretful that this
highly controversial and problematic third stanza was included as part of the original full U.S. anthem. This fact tarnishes both the song and our nation. Yet, it
SCREAMS to be noted that the controversial third stanza is omitted and NOT used
in today's National Anthem.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In conclusion:</span></h3><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">It should be noted that on Christmas Eve of 1814, the peace
treaty was signed and sealed. The eleven articles stated that the U.S. and Britain
would return to the status quo ante bellum, or the exact same state of affairs
as before the war. There was no mention of impressment or the
Orders-in-Council; the issues which had spurred the U.S. into declaring war. On
paper, it was as if the war had never been fought.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">What does stand out is that during the talks the United States requested the return of
“such slaves as may be in your control, belonging to any inhabitant or citizen
of the United States.” The British refused and by doing so tarnished both the
song and our nation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip continued firing rockets until shortly before the deadline, and since the ceasefire there has been a tense quiet in the Gaza Strip. Hamas spokesman Taher al-Nunu and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah said they would adhere to the ceasefire as long as Israel did. </span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><a> <br /></a><div><a> During the 11 days of Operation Guardian of the Walls more than 4,360 explosive laden rockets were fired at Israel, of which 3,573 fell inside Israeli territory, the other 787 falling either inside the Gaza Strip or into the sea.<div> <br /> <div> The Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted about 90% of the rockets. Eleven civilians were murdered in Israel by these explosive laden missiles: </div><div> -one a Philippine Nation and another a Thai. </div> Nine were Israelis; </div><div> Of these three were Arab-Israelis and one IDF soldier was killed by an anti-tank missile. <div> Several hundred people were injured and there was property damage to homes, schools, industry, commerce and agriculture. </div><div> The IDF attacked about 1,500 terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip. As soon as the ceasefire went into effect Gazans began began to realise the extent of the cost of destruction as a result of the firing of explosive laden rockets on Israel and the results of Israel’s response. <div> <br /> </div><div> On May 21, 2021, the Hamas ministry of health in Gaza reported that all together 248 Gazans had been killed, 122 of those killed: 66 children, 39 women and 17 old people, and that 1,948 had been injured (ministry of health in Gaza Facebook page, May 21, 2021). </div><br /></div> The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)’s oPt | Situation Report No. 1 (21-27 May 2021), confirmed that<i><b> the majority of those killed after seven days were members of Internationally recognized terrorist organizations.</b></i> </div></a><div><a><i>"According to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), up to 27 May, 256 Palestinians, including 66 children and 40 women were killed, of whom 128 were believed to be civilians." </i></a><i><div><a> <br /> By simple math if we deduct the 66 children and 40 females -who were not members of either FTO that totals 106. If we deduct 106 from the total of 128 civilians killed <b><i>22 were male adults</i></b>. <div> And if we deduct the 91 confirmed killed by errant rockets that leaves 15 civilians whose deaths <b><i>MAY</i></b> have been caused by Israel actions. </div><div> <br /> </div><div><div><div> The UN report <i><b>based on the information from the Hamas controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza</b></i> confirmed that 128 or 52% of the 256 Palestinians killed were members of Izz a-din Al-Qassem Brigades of Hamas or Islamic Jihad. </div><div> </div><div> <i><b>It is worthwhile noting that 91 of the 256 Palestinian killed were actually recorded as NOT being killed by Israel but by misfired Palestinian rockets,</b></i> according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs </div><div> <br /> </div><div> Because <i><b>Islamic Jihad </b></i>are the rivals of Hamas, the Ministry of Health in Gaza controlled by Hamas confirmed the reports of ONLY 11 deaths by misfired rockets. </div><div> Therefore, since Hamas fired many more of the 787 misfired explosive laden rockets, <i><b>how many were murdered by their rockets -which are NOT reported!</b></i> </div><div> <br /> </div><div> During the first two days of Operation Guardians of the Walls. That report concluded the following: </div><div>16 (21%) were killed during the unsuccessful launch of rockets at Israel (including ten who were 18-years-old or less) </div><div> At least 41 (55%) were terrorists: 30 Hamas, 3 Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and 8 Fatah </div><div> 17 (23%) were possibly civilian. </div><div> On May 21, 2021, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 248 Gazans had been killed, including 66 children, 39 women and 17 old people, and that 1,948 had been injured (ministry of health in Gaza Facebook page, May 21, 2021). </div><div> <br /> </div> The Palestinian Islamic Jihad military-terrorist wing issued a mourning notice for 19 of its operatives killed during the operation, the most important of whom was Husam Abu al-Rabid, commander of its northern brigade. </div> <br /> </div><div> <i><b>As in previous incidents Gazans were instructed to be more conscious of security and not transmit information about what had happened or the sites hit by Israeli attacks.</b></i> They were also warned not to transmit information about operatives or their movements (Dunia al-Watan, May 22, 2021). </div> <div><br /></div></a><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><a><span style="font-size: medium;">The Palestinians as per their usual "Blame Israel", reported serious infrastructure damage including; water and sewage pipes, roads and communications networks.</span></a></span></i></div></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a><span style="font-size: medium;"><div><br /></div><div>Rebuilding the Gaza Strip began immediately after the ceasefire was announced. Unlike previous rounds of hostilities, Egypt has taken upon itself not only to send money, but to establish a mechanism for transferring the funds and for coordinating donations and the supplies entering the Gaza Strip. </div><div><br /></div> </span></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><div><a> </a><a></a><a>According to the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar, Egypt promised to transfer $500 million to rebuild the Gaza Strip and now fills a key position in its implementation. According to report, Egypt’s efforts will not be limited to delivering materials for construction but it will also determine how the $500 million will be used and coordinate donations and supplies that enter the Gaza Strip. Generally speaking the reconstruction project will be carried out by companies belonging to the Egyptian army, limiting the influence of Turkish companies and strengthening cooperation with the Gulf States, which will also send aid in the coming days. According to “sources,” Egypt wants to restore its relations with Hamas and the other “organizations” to the point where they will protect the interests of Egypt, which aspires to ensure the continuation of the lull (al-Akhbar, May 22, 2021). </a></div><div><a>Hasan Abd al-Aziz, a member of the Egyptian contractors’ association, said that for Egyptian private and public companies the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip would be a national mission and not a profit-making operation. He said the funds Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi promised would be translated into projects, raw materials and materials for construction, and not cash donations (Sputnik, May 22, 2021). </a> <div><a> It was also reported that Egypt is making contacts to hold a conference in Cairo for rebuilding the Gaza Strip through international cooperation (al-Arabiya, May 21, 2021). Following instructions from the Egyptian president, a convoy of 130 trucks will arrive in the Gaza Strip bringing 2,500 tons of food, drugs, clothing, furniture and electrical appliances (Facebook page of the Egyptian president’s spokesman, May 22, 2021)
</a><div><a></a><a><br /></a><div><a> Hamas and PIJ spokesmen celebrated their “victory” and Israel’s “defeat.” According to the Hamas narrative, they attacked not for the Gaza Strip but rather for Jerusalem, al-Aqsa mosque and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in east Jerusalem. <div> Even though the enlistment of Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem was only partial, the Hamas leadership continues claiming that all the Palestinians participated in the Hamas-led hostilities. </div><div> <br />
</div><div> During the 11 days of the operation more than 4,360 explosive laden rockets and mortar shells were fired at Israel. Of which 3,573 penetrated Israeli airspace, about 680 fell inside the Gaza Strip and about 280 fell into the sea. The Iron Dome aerial defense system intercepted about 90% of the rocket fire. </div><div> Two anti-tank missiles were fired at Israel and several launches were prevented. One killed an IDF soldier when it hit his jeep, the other superficially injured an IDF soldier. </div>
<div> The joint operations room of the terrorist organizations in Gaza held a press conference where they claimed they had used “new technology” to fire rockets and that Israel had failed when it relied on “deception” to attack and destroy the “resistance” [i.e., terrorist] leaders and operatives. They also claimed they could have continued firing rockets in response to any Israeli “aggression” against the Palestinians (al-Aqsa, May 21, 2021). </div></a><div><a></a><a><br /> </a><div><a></a><a> Despite the massive barrages of rocket and mortar fire, relatively speaking Israeli casualties were few and there was relatively light property damage. Eleven Israeli civilians were directly killed by rocket and mortar fire. One soldier was killed when an anti-tank rocket hit his jeep. Two Israelis died when they ran for shelter. Several hundred people were injured, most of them superficially, and many had anxiety attacks. </a><div><a>The rocket fire disrupted routine daily life for people living as far north as Netanya, and Jewish-Arab coexistence in the mixed cities was severely damaged by riots that were influenced by the events in the Gaza Strip.<br />Israel’s Response
During Operation Guardian of the Walls Israel destroyed more than 1,500 terrorist targets, severely damaging the strategic and tactical capabilities of Hamas and the PIJ.</a><div><a></a><a>Among the targets hit was the: Hamas’ tunnel system (the “metro”) in Gaza City, Rafah and Khan Yunis: The IDF destroyed more than 100 kilometers (60 miles) of tunnels used by the Hamas leadership and terrorist operatives as hideouts, and command and control centers. Several attack tunnels in the northern Gaza Strip were also hit. <div> During the fighting an estimated 50 senior Hamas and PIJ terrorist operatives were killed including brigade commanders, and about 20 lower-ranking commanders and about 200 terrorist operatives. </div><div> <br /> </div><div> The IDF carried out some 340 attacks on high-trajectory rocket launchers, 230 attacks on surface-to-surface rocket launchers, and about 35 on mortar shell launchers. </div><div> The weapons-manufacturing and military- buildup capabilities of the terrorist organizations were hit hard, research and development operatives were killed, and small facilities for the manufacture of weapons, development centers and weapons storehouses were hit. </div><div> Dozens of administration offices, 11 buildings belonging the internal security forces, and five banks used to transfer funds for terrorist activities were attacked. A senior source in the Hamas police force said that between 15% and 25% of the police management offices and most of its headquarters were partially destroyed (al-Aqsa, May 22, 2021).
The terrorist infrastructure: The Israeli Air Force attacked dozens of bases, posts, command centers and nine multistory buildings where terrorist activity was coordinated. </div><div> Terrorist invasions were prevented, as were attacks from anti-tank missile squads, seven aerial threats (armed UAVs) and two naval threats (including attacks by unmanned submarine vessels). </div><div> <br /> </div><div> On May 21, 2021, the ministry of health in Gaza reported that 248 Gazans had been killed, including 66 children, 39 women and 17 old people, and that 1,948 had been injured (ministry of health in Gaza Facebook page, May 21, 2021).
Hamas exploited the days following the ceasefire to remove the bodies of terrorist operatives from the tunnels. </div><div> On May 21, 2021, a mass funeral was held in Khan Yunis for Hamas operatives killed in the tunnels in the al-Fakhri and Soufa areas east of Khan Yunis. The bodies were wrapped in Hamas flags (Twitter account of journalist Hassan Aslih, May 21, 2021). </div><div> The PIJ’s military-terrorist wing issued a mourning notice for 19 of its operatives killed during the operation, the most important of whom was Husam Abu al-Rabid, commander of its northern brigade. During a press conference held by the police the names of police casualties were read (al-Mayadeen, May 22, 2021). </div><div> It was not the first time serving policemen participated in hostilities as operatives in the military-terrorist wings.
After the declaration of a ceasefire, Hamas’ internal security forces warned that Israeli security and intelligence forces were increasing their efforts to collect information to renew their bank of targets. </div><div> <br /> </div><div> When the ceasefire went into effect Gazans began to understand the extent of the damage and destruction, reporting serious damage to the infrastructure, including water and sewage pipes, electric lines, roads and the communications networks. Iyad al-Buzum, spokesman for the ministry of the interior in Gaza, said that immediately after the ceasefire police and security forces were deployed to attack sites and to remove unexploded ordnance (Dunia al-Watan, May 21, 2021). </div><div> <br /> </div><div> Naji Sirhan, deputy ministry for public works and housing in the Gaza Strip, said that at least 2,000 residences, four mosques and dozens of police stations had been destroyed. The UN reported that about 800 thousand Gazans had no access to clean water and that about half the water pipes had been destroyed, as were 53 schools, six hospitals and 11 public health centers (AP, May 22, 2021). </div><div> <br /> </div><div> Abd al-Hadi al-Agha, deputy ministry of Muslim endowments in the Gaza Strip, said about $5 million worth of damage had been done to mosques and cemeteries. He said three mosques had been completely destroyed and 40 others had been damaged. He claimed the IDF had attacked six cemeteries and the ministry of endowments building in the Ansar facility in Gaza City (al-Quds, May 23, 2021) </div><div> <br /></div><div><br /></div>

Beria was the longest-lived and most influential of Stalin's secret police chiefs, wielding his most substantial influence during and after World War II.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As early as 1923, Joseph Stalin ordered the creation of a <i><b>"Special Disinformation Office"</b></i>, however, it should be noted that it was the general practice of Beria to work from the shadows and attribute his work to his superiors, as can be seen in his climb in party status from his other earlier works of deception.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is therefore theorised by many historians, that Joseph Stalin himself coined the term <i>“disinformation”</i> in 1923 <i>by giving it a French sounding name in order to deceive other nations into believing it was a practice invented in France</i>, since the <i>noun <b>“disinformation”</b> does not originate from Russian, it is a translation of the French word <b>désinformation</b>.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The objective of the <b style="font-style: italic;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures" target="_blank">"Active measures"</a></b> program included offensive programs such as disinformation, propaganda, deception, sabotage, destabilization and espionage. These programs were based on foreign policy priorities of the Soviet Union. The purpose of "Active measures" was to influence the course of world events, abroad and domestically, in addition to collecting intelligence and producing revised assessments of it. "Active measures" ranged "from<i><b> media manipulations</b></i> <i>the strategy of "Dezinformatsiya" </i>to special actions involving various degrees of violence".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Active measures" included the establishment and the support of international front organizations (e.g., the World Peace Council); foreign communist, socialist and opposition parties and wars of "national liberation" in the Third World.

Slaves were declared free in General Order No. 3 under the terms of the Emancipation Proclamation, or Proclamation 95. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In reality, freedom for those held in slavery did not come all at once upon the signing and publication of the Emancipation Proclamation. Regretfully it would take three more years until the Confederacy (The South) was defeated and those held in slavery in areas unoccupied by victorious Union forces could be freed. Because many parts of the Confederacy were undefeated in 1863, the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation was often delayed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Therefore three years after the original issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation when Union General Gordon Granger arrived at Ashton Villa Galveston, Texas, after the formal end of the American Civil War he issued General Order No.3.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgily-bhGWyZ48h_IWsxJ1mJ8_ZLC413MdUBIIMyZraHjB3i0qSfNiRwcRJDnenYfx-exY5LAI-To0rWCpMuxTTpiQboTir-kp8MRT6DztUdEAjE-Rdh2tttV3gZ34MQ40-WGp4xDvaTVE/s465/General+Order+No+3.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="465" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgily-bhGWyZ48h_IWsxJ1mJ8_ZLC413MdUBIIMyZraHjB3i0qSfNiRwcRJDnenYfx-exY5LAI-To0rWCpMuxTTpiQboTir-kp8MRT6DztUdEAjE-Rdh2tttV3gZ34MQ40-WGp4xDvaTVE/s320/General+Order+No+3.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">The following is the text of the official recorded version of the order:</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Head Quarters District of Texas</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Galveston Texas June 19th 1865.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">General Orders No. 3.</span></p><span style="font-size: medium;">The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.

The lyrics were written by Edgar Yipsel "Yip" Harburg (born Isidore Hochberg; April 8, 1896 – March 5, 1981) the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants who grew up in a Yiddish-speaking, Orthodox Jewish home in New York.</span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJGKAcMDHSSmxuFOS3yf2ZMwQ03j02u6F28XwxiH_0NiwCAbJSWE_t4-eHPJHOhJPtfNkDpCbDx-n2mOisxHg3LcvnuR2FBxxnTFxyGhPcXj3BvYpa0gRJVQPrzV6mMBW34MSsXBBWUKg/s398/16+year+old+Judy+Garland.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJGKAcMDHSSmxuFOS3yf2ZMwQ03j02u6F28XwxiH_0NiwCAbJSWE_t4-eHPJHOhJPtfNkDpCbDx-n2mOisxHg3LcvnuR2FBxxnTFxyGhPcXj3BvYpa0gRJVQPrzV6mMBW34MSsXBBWUKg/s320/16+year+old+Judy+Garland.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Together they put together a song that has won awards and garnered global fame. Among other things they won an Oscar in 1940 for “Best Music, Original Song” for “The Wizard of Oz” and the song was voted the number one song of the 20th century by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The song is about hope, that the bad times will one day be over. It is this feeling of hope within the song that we can all relate to and it is hope that helped the Jewish people through the ages. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Yip and Harold did not know what the future held for the Jewish people when they wrote this song, but the question is; How much of their experience as Jews affected the lyrics. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We as Jews can readily relate to the song. Our people experienced troubles throughout our history and they were tired of being in a sad place and yearned to be somewhere better. So when you apply this tremendous desire for hope that this song manifests in the Jewish people, the words of the song take on a whole new meaning.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">[Verse 1]</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And the dreams that you dare to dream,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Really do come true.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">[Chorus]</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Someday I’ll wish upon a star</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Where troubles melt like lemon drops,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">High above the chimney tops,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">That’s where you’ll find me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">[Verse 2]</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Birds fly over the rainbow</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why then, oh why can’t I?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">[Outro]</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why, oh why can’t I?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The song was first published in 1939, at a time when the Jews in Europe were coming under increased hostility. Their freedoms were being taken away, their identity being dragged through the dirt, and many of them were feeling isolated. They were trapped, unable to “fly”.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The song is about hope, that the bad times will one day be over. It is this feeling of hope within the song that we can all relate to and it is hope that helped the Jewish people through the Holocaust.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Yip did not know what the future held for the Jewish people when he wrote this song. The lyrics “chimney tops” take on a harrowing new meaning now that we know the horrors of the Holocaust. I am sure many Jews looked to the skies above Auschwitz’s chimney’s, longing for the day they were free.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was less than ten years after the song was written that the most powerful words of the song were fulfilled.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We Jews have dreamed of returning to our ancestral homeland Eretz Yisrael - "Zion" ever since our expulsion in 135CE. We have dreamed of having a country of OUR own where we can live in freedom and to worship our maker as one people without the control of others. This dream was fulfilled in 1948 when the nation of Israel was reborn. If anything Israel is a testament to the Jewish people that the “dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It seems that our world is once again on the edge of dark times. This song reminds us that though we face uncertain events, we still have hope, and our hope is in "Him who blessed the people of Israel".</span></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-9696494284609692712021-06-04T18:23:00.006+03:002022-10-29T14:58:18.158+03:00The Official Palestinian Troll guideline to public relations (dezinformatsiya)<p><font-size: 14pt=""></font-size:></p>After seeing SO MUCH

The world needs to take a step back and realise that it is up to the PEOPLE of "palestine" WITHOUT their overly corrupt and fanatic Islamic leadership and the people -the JEWS of Israel, to resolve the problem. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2) The UN MUST revoke UNWRA established in 1949 by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) UN Resolution 212 (III) by a "mandate" its renewal must be voided IMMEDIATELY!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">3) The UN MUST revoke the clause; "<i><b>The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children, are also eligible for registration as refugees.</b></i>"</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">4) The UN MUST declare that <b><i>ALL </i></b>Arab countries -<i>specifically those Arab countries members of the "Arab League"</i> must accept <b><i>ALL</i></b> <i>those who -were born- and reside in "</i><b><i>Refugee Camps</i></b>" as citizens with full rights and equal rights . <b><i>ALL "UNWRA" facilities will be closed. </i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">5) The "Arabs of the Mandated Area" aka the "palestinians" MUST be cut off from ALL funding THAT IS NOT handled by supervised AND recorded accounting to prevent money going into corrupt pockets and weaponry. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">6) UWRA schools <b><i><u>MUST</u></i></b> be CLOSED and ONLY "revamped" schools MUST be opened. International Monitors must verify that HATRED is removed from their curriculum and -most importantly- ALL texts that do NOT teach to educate MUST be destroyed. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">7) ALL those who HAVE donated money MUST be held held accountable that the funds are ACTUALLY USED for the construction of proper housing and infrastructure and NOT stolen for nefarious purposes!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">8) They -the PEOPLE of "palestine" those used as pawns and cannon fodder - need to told the actual TRUTH just WHY the leaders of the Arab world have refused to absorb them for 74+ years!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">That <b><i>the Arabs of "Palestine" need to confront the truth of THEIR "Nachba"</i></b>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <u style="font-weight: bold;">****AND WHAT "IS" THAT TRUTH?****</u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The TRUTH that <b><i><u>THEIR</u></i></b> leaders<i><b> refused to accept the Partition</b></i> -UNR181 in 1948 and set out to murder those Jews who LIVED in Eretz Yisrael -and in doing so <b><u><i>THEY LOST</i></u></b> and "THEY"- the PEOPLE of "palestine" have been systematically used by </span><b style="font-size: large;"><i><u>THEIR</u></i></b><span style="font-size: large;"> leaders </span><span style="font-size: large;">as pawns and cannon fodder - have paid the price of misery and death ever since!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>THEY</b> - The "Arabs of the Mandated Area" aka the "palestinians" need to realise <b>THEY</b> cannot <b><i>"Turn back the clock"</i></b> nor can they <b><i>DEMAND </i></b>back what <b><i><u>THEY LOST</u></i></b>. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When you set out to murder and defeat someone do not be surprised should you lose.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Just as the some 850,000 Jews of "Arab Lands" who paid the price for the utter defeat of the "Great Arab Armies" in their vain attempt to "<i><b>Throw the Jews into the sea</b></i>" in their war against the nascent "Jewish State" because of this Jews who had lived for centuries were "<i><b>ETHNICALLY CLEANSED</b></i>" and cannot retrieve their belongings and properties. They too, as well, cannot expect a return to THEIR homes, shops and fields. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">SO too the so called "palestinians" need to "Wake up" and realise <i><b>WHAT THEY brought down upon <u>THEMSELVES</u></b></i> by their blind obedience to hatred in their "Nachba" - that <b><i><u>THEY LOST</u></i></b>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Once the "Arabs of the Mandated Area", aka the "palestinians", learn that war and hatred are not going to remove "US" or NEGATE "US".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><u>That there is NO fantasy of "Return"!</u></i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">That <b><i><u>there is WHAT there is!</u></i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>There are- no more "give mes"!! </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">There is ONLY take it; "<i><b>As you left it for yourselves</b></i>" or keep suffering and dying!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>WE JEWS are here to stay </b></i>and we will NOT be <b><i>your </i></b>Dhimmis <b><i>NO more. </i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Then and only then will there be Peace !</i></b></span></p><p><br /></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-26079082335312009012021-05-26T22:47:00.012+03:002022-10-29T15:10:17.221+03:00The Truth And NOTHING but THE Truth<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuFhcm1QuSaqtvKaMFwakSVckd37VqhuLTsCNcybCNalXx1ZsI7BzJNmDqoIcSnTwy2DMhAee_DiZLdUe_RZ1KmqsS8v9wZtdKvbLVkPr-Ip9s_PqsREAp8DYUYMjmjFcZ5v2N8T7vX9M/s469/The+Handshake.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="349" data-original-width="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuFhcm1QuSaqtvKaMFwakSVckd37VqhuLTsCNcybCNalXx1ZsI7BzJNmDqoIcSnTwy2DMhAee_DiZLdUe_RZ1KmqsS8v9wZtdKvbLVkPr-Ip9s_PqsREAp8DYUYMjmjFcZ5v2N8T7vX9M/s320/The+Handshake.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1993, on the White House lawn at the signing and "photo op" of, yet again, another failed “Peace Agreement”- the now dead "Oslo Accords". Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was revolted by the "Western / American" gesture of "shaking the hand" of Yasser Arafat. The same Arafat who he knew as a totally corrupt tyrant and who had caused the death, not only of many Israelis but fellow Arabs. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Rabin knew that as a true leader of men, father and grandfather, that for the chance of a real peace he had to overcome his revulsion to show the world WE WANT PEACE: </span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Of all hands in the world, it was not the hand that I wanted nor dreamed of touching, ..."</span></p></blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;"> Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin expressed the view of ALL Israelis with these words in his speech:</span><div><p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">“We, the soldiers who have returned from battle stained with
blood,<o:p></o:p>

WHY is there NO peace? </span></h2><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Simple it is because the "palestinians" and their handlers in the Soviet KGB have brainwashed the world with their tale of tragedy and woe!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Yuri Andropov, the former KGB chairman of the KGB once stated:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"[T]he Islamic world was a waiting petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of America-hatred, grown from the bacterium of Marxist-Leninist thought. Islamic anti-Semitism ran deep... We had only to keep repeating our themes -- that the United States and Israel were 'fascist, imperial-Zionist countries' bankrolled by rich Jews." </span></p><p></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As early as 1965, with the increased influence that the dependence on the purchase of weapons from the USSR by Egypt and Syria had brought them. The Soviet Union had formally proposed in the UN a resolution that would draw in more Arab countries by condemning colonialism as racism. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The major turning point, that forever changed the conflict in the Middle East and opened the door to the KGB and Soviet Union / Russian control over the Arabs, was Israel's unwillingness to side with the Soviet Union during the Cold War. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So when Egypt, under Gamal Abdel Nasser, approached the Soviets for military assistance in 1955, the Soviet Union readily embraced the request and approved the Egyptian-Czechoslovak Arms Agreement. This "Arms Agreement" led to the supply of more than $83 million worth of modern Soviet weaponry to Egypt, through Czechoslovakia. This Arms Agreement greatly impacted the Arab–Israeli conflict forever. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">With the resounding and devastating defeat of Soviet armaments of Egyptian armed and equipped forces in the Suez Canal Crisis of 1956 and Soviet armament in the hands of their Arab proxies in the 1967 "Six Day War". <i><b>The KGB felt it was time to "get even" and to "turn the tide" of world opinion by identifying Israel and Zionism as a "Colonial" "Imperialistic" Jewish foothold in the heart of the Arab heartland. </b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">They have used the influx of post World War II Jewish displaced Holocaust survivor refugees from Europe as the inspiration for the<i><b> Zionism is a "Colonial" "Imperialistic"</b></i> movement theme in their deep hatred of Israel. These propagandist readily point to this influx of 650,000 refugees <b><i>as NON Semites</i></b> and as a European usurpers and intruders. They freely use the "Khazar" libel to label todays Israelis as NON Semitic converts to Judaism, whilst THEY the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas" are the "true indigenous inhabitants"!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Nary a mention is ever made of the Jews, who despite ALL the persecutions, remained in "Eretz Yisrael" or those who arrived before the creation of the "Mandate" in 1919. Or the fact that most if the "Ethnically Cleansed" Jews from Arab countries were absorbed by the newly created Jewish State of Israel. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The “<b><i>Arabs of the Mandated Areas</i></b>", have worked tirelessly <b style="font-style: italic;">to change their "narrative"</b> and they readily assumed the name "Palestinians” as THE central theme of their "Negation of Israel" plan. They cynically used the name given to the British Mandated area so as to have "proof" that an "entity / State / Country existed</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">They have accomplished all of this through the KGB inspired method of "Dezinformatsiya"- "the super-secret KGB discipline which was is used to disseminate false information, reports and documents fabricated around a kernel of truth. This KGB method was taught to Yasser Arafat at Balashikha according to Lt. Gen. (ret.) Ion Mihai Pacepa a former three-star general in the Securitate, the secret police of Communist Romania, who defected to the United States in July 1978 from his book, “Red Horizons,” published in 1987.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In an interview by the Wall Street Journal, Pacepa explained just how the KGB had replaced the truth of Arafat's origins with a fictional "Palestinian" background narrative for him:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"He was an Egyptian bourgeois turned into a devoted Marxist by KGB foreign intelligence. The KGB had trained him at its Balashikha special-operations school east of Moscow and in the mid-1960s decided to groom him as the future PLO leader. First, the KGB destroyed the official records of Arafat's birth in Cairo, and replaced them with fictitious documents saying that he had been born in Jerusalem and was therefore a Palestinian by birth."</span></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjejfo3Z3pOGytlMClR2CEpMo8zkY6fHbhRA2uURmnJ72n_r6CzGp4Fzmgh-vqOXFScxBJfYKQMU6vcibPyAR7IsW1XIS1DFaM8TD0dEP0rqT1g8lCye0KUnwr1LG5iqHnkSjiE0O9NGxs/s594/Vasili+Mitrokhin.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="477" data-original-width="594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjejfo3Z3pOGytlMClR2CEpMo8zkY6fHbhRA2uURmnJ72n_r6CzGp4Fzmgh-vqOXFScxBJfYKQMU6vcibPyAR7IsW1XIS1DFaM8TD0dEP0rqT1g8lCye0KUnwr1LG5iqHnkSjiE0O9NGxs/s320/Vasili+Mitrokhin.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Vasili Nikitich Mitrokhin, a major and senior archivist for the Soviet Union's foreign intelligence service, the First Chief Directorate of the KGB, copied documents certifying that the head of Soviet foreign intelligence, Gen.

He did so by helping them organize terrorist operations that would humiliate Israel through the use of the main KGB asset -- Yasser Arafat, who was the co-founder of Fatah, the Palestinian military force. </span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOcYey5oVyO4bHWISIsOSN4T-8TwGtgCAgZsK2IB0QYeAQBQ3xQRi9HkUd0nDZ96lZ1EoiVuAG6N3-JoTeH_0GFK6fQH9_P39MLXysfU93uH6sbVmoJW6jVNfFnqqVpwSNpya3QyiOlk/s528/Ion+Mihai+Pacepa+2.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="302" data-original-width="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOcYey5oVyO4bHWISIsOSN4T-8TwGtgCAgZsK2IB0QYeAQBQ3xQRi9HkUd0nDZ96lZ1EoiVuAG6N3-JoTeH_0GFK6fQH9_P39MLXysfU93uH6sbVmoJW6jVNfFnqqVpwSNpya3QyiOlk/s320/Ion+Mihai+Pacepa+2.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">In his talks with Ion Mihai Pacepa Gen. Alexander Sakharovsky described Yasser Arafat as a; "devoted Marxist-Leninist since his days in the membership of the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) from 1952 to 1956." </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1957, when Kuwait was still a British protectorate, the KGB mole Yasser Arafat had applied for a visa based on his work in civil engineering and was approved.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As Arafat began to develop friendships with Palestinian refugees, some of whom like Abu Iyad he had met while attending Cairo University and Abu Jihad in Gaza, both of whom were official members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Khalil al-Wazir ("Abu Jihad"), had arrived in 1959 Kuwait worked as a teacher and Salah Khalaf ("Abu Iyad") arrived in Kuwait in late 1960 became Arafat's top aides in Al Fatah.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Inspired by his success his handlers in the KGB urged Arafat to "gradually encourage" Khalil al-Wazir ("Abu Jihad") and Salah Khalaf ("Abu Iyad") and others to found the group that became known as Fatah. The exact date for the establishment of Fatah is unknown. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The group's existence was attested to in the pages of a Palestinian nationalist magazine, Filastununa Nida al-Hayat (Our Palestine, The Call of Life) in 1959, which was written and edited by Khalil al-Wazir ("Abu Jihad"). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The full name of Fatah in Arabic is- Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini which translates as "The Palestinian National Liberation Movement" or the reverse acronym of the Arabic name FaTaH which in early Islamic times to referred to "conquest." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The turning point for Arafat and the PLO was the battle of Karameh in Jordan. The events of the battle were covered in detail and Arafat's face appeared in the world press. The coverage brought Arafat fame and fortune as he came to be regarded as a national hero who dared to confront Israel. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Yasser Arafat (Arabic: أبو عمار , 'Abū `Ammār) was elected chairman by the Palestinian National Council convened in Cairo on 3 February 1969.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The KGB "Dezinformatsiya" Negation of Israel Story: "Israel is A Colonial Outpost" </span></h3><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Soviet Union, the KGB, felt it was time to identify Israel and Zionism with the old communist line as the "Colonial - Imperialists" foothold in the heart of the Arab heartland. The Soviets decided to introduce the "Zionism is Racism" resolution to the UN. All the new pro-Moslem countries who had recently gained independence from colonial status were eager to abide their "Masters" will and turned out overwhelmingly in favor of the November 1975, Resolution 3379 condemning Zionism as "a form of racism and racial discrimination". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">They began their "Dezinformatsiya" story with the 1948 Nachba story line of "excuse for humiliation" blame game regarding the vote that allowed the cowardly British to put their tail between their legs and run off. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The British, along with their French cohorts in Syria and Lebanon, had become bankrupted from the costs of World War II and could no longer maintain their fictitious colonial presence as "Mandatories". The rise of Arab nationalism and their ability to “control the peasants” had become too high a cost for the financially strapped and war weary colonial powers. Britain and France began to flee their former colonies in the Middle East and the outcome of which was the UN resolution 181 to Partition the Mandated Area.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Arafat describes the outcome of the United Nations November 1947 vote in his November 1975 "<b><i><a href="https://unispal.un.org/DPA/DPR/unispal.nsf/0/A238EC7A3E13EED18525624A007697EChttps://unispal.un.org/DPA/DPR/unispal.nsf/0/A238EC7A3E13EED18525624A007697EC" target="_blank">Zionism is Racism</a></i></b>" speech as;</span></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“As a result of the collusion between the Mandatory Power and the Zionist movement and with the support of some countries, this General Assembly early in its history approved a recommendation to partition our Palestinian homeland. This took place in an atmosphere poisoned with questionable actions and strong pressure." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The General Assembly partitioned <i><b>what it had no right to divide</b></i> — an indivisible homeland. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When <b><i>we rejected that decision</i></b>, our position corresponded to that of the natural mother who refused to permit King Solomon to cut her son in two when the unnatural mother claimed the child for herself and agreed to his dismemberment." </span></p></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Furthermore, even though the partition resolution granted the colonialist settlers 54 per cent of the land of Palestine, their dissatisfaction with the decision prompted them to wage a war of terror (!!!?) against the civilian Arab population. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">They occupied 81 per cent of the total area of Palestine, uprooting a million Arabs. Thus, they occupied 524 Arab towns and villages, of which they destroyed 385, completely obliterating them in the process. Having done so, they built their own settlements and colonies on the ruins of our farms and our groves. The roots of the Palestine question lie here. Its causes do not stem from any conflict between two religions or two nationalisms. Neither is it a border conflict between neighboring States. <b><i>It is the cause of people deprived of its homeland, dispersed and uprooted, and living mostly in exile and in refugee camps</i></b>."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here Arafat, as part of the new <b><i>dezinformatsiya</i></b> campaign, <b><i>purposely neglects to tell the whole historical truth. </i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He does not even relate to the fact that Churchill had cut off 72% of the British Mandated Area to buy off [Prince] Abdullah and the chief tribal groups such as the Bani Sakhr, Abadi, Shobaki and Manaseer for a "Hashemite solution in 1921”. An act that this was done in contradiction to Article 5 of the League Of Nations Mandate that states:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">“The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power.”</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Arafat also purposely omitted to mention that 80% of the Arab population is therefore <i><b>“Palestinian”</b></i> and that <i><b>Transjordan was closed to all Jewish migration and settlement,</b></i> a clear betrayal of the British promise in the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and a patent contravention of its Mandatory obligations. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The number of Arab refugees, who fled Israel in 1948, is flaunted by these "apologists" and was estimated (by impartial sources) to be less than 630,000. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Yet, nary a word was spoken of the number of Jewish refugees <i><b>ethnically cleansed</b></i> their wealth - businesses, shops, factories, homes and land confiscated from Arab lands -which has been estimated to be more than 850,000!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In 1970 on the urgings of his KGB controllers, Arafat visited Hanoi were he was particularly struck by Ho Chi Minh’s success in mobilizing left-wing sympathizers in Europe and the United States. American student activists on college and university campuses throughout America, enthusiastically followed the line of North Vietnamese operatives. They had succeeded in re-framing the Vietnam war from a Communist assault on the south to a struggle for national liberation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ho’s chief strategist, Võ Nguyên Giáp, a General in the Vietnam People's Army and a politician, made it clear to Arafat and his lieutenants that in order to succeed, they too needed to redefine the terms of their struggle. </span></p><p><i><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Giap’s counsel was simple but profound: the PLO needed to work in a way that concealed its real goals, permitted strategic deception, and gave the appearance of moderation. </span></b></i></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Arafat was struck more by Ho Chi Minh’s success with left-wing sympathizers in the United States and Europe. </span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">“Progressive” activists on American campuses, enthusiastically followed the propaganda told by North Vietnamese operatives. These propagandists had succeeded in re-framing the Vietnam War from a Communist conquest of the South into a struggle for national liberation." </span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">An insight into this North Vietnamese PR campaign, which provided the key to the Communist victory and a lesson for PLO operatives, was offered by Ho’s chief strategist, General Giap:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><i><b><span style="font-size: medium;">“Stop talking about annihilating Israel and instead turn your terror war into a struggle for human rights. Then you will have the American people eating out of your hand.”</span></b></i></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">And here in this passage below we see the main objective of the “Falestinians” that they have worked on since Arafat had met with Muhammad Yazid, who had been minister of information in two Algerian wartime governments (1958-1962). Yazid advised Arafat in 1970:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">“Wipe out the argument that Israel is a small state whose existence is threatened by the Arab states, or the reduction of the Palestinian problem to a question of refugees; instead, present the Palestinian struggle as a struggle for liberation like the others. Wipe out the impression …that in the struggle between the Palestinians and the Zionists, the Zionist is the underdog. Now it is the Arab who is oppressed and victimized in his existence because he is not only facing the Zionists but also world imperialism.”</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In conclusion, I will cite the words of Dr. Carl Sagan who once aptly said: </span></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: IF we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge even to ourselves, that we have been taken. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Once you give a Charlatan power over you you almost never get it back." </span></p></blockquote><p></p><p></p><p></p></div></div>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-20218012514037261212021-05-26T21:44:00.004+03:002022-10-29T15:11:07.237+03:00The Anguish From Blind Hatred<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I am anguished and sickened by the Tsunami wave of hatred of virulently sick and utterly despicable LIES, fabrications and tales of "genocide" by unscrupulous, disingenuous and utterly mendacious broadcasts by "World News Media" personalities and articles by journalists.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In stark contrast to today's world wide virulent anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred, at one time the renewal of Jewish life in “Eretz Yisrael” was not an obstacle to the Arab world. We were not demonized as we are today by the “Falestinians” and “Human Rights Groups”.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These lies by "World News Media" personalities and articles by journalists have influenced millions and have corrupted, defamed and tarnished the image of Israel. At the same time these lies have been helped to spread like a plague, a pandemic across the planet by educators -teachers and professors who have been brainwashed by the lies. The combination of the failure of educators to educate the truth and journalists to retain integrity and honesty has in their defamation of Israel and “Zionism”, has awaken the old ancient hatred of the Jewish people.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In our responses as Jews and as Israelis we CANNOT allow ourselves to stoop to the level of the bottom of the slime pool as those who defame and slander Israel do. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Also we should NOT stoop to the utter vile hatred of those Moslems who hate us since there are many Moslems who are friends and wish to live in peace with us. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">To show hatred of another's religion because of the ignorance of a few is exactly the same SICK mentality of anti-Semitism!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why are we considered to be"The Chosen People"? Could it be throughout time we have been more MORALISTIC?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Were we "chosen" because, despite ALL the hatred and persecutions we have suffered over the multitude of generations, we aspire to behave and act constructively and beneficially?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Our learned ones our sages lead the way and to teach and educate. We were taught NOT to hate and destroy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We have shown this in our belief of "Pikuach nefesh" the "sanctity of life" countless times through the generations. As a country, Israel has shown this in our assistance to those people and countries that have suffered tragedies and disasters and were in dire need of medical care, rescue teams and comfort. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We have accomplished much of this "Tikkun Olam" by the intelligence of our people in developing cures for deadly disease, in new ways to feed those who are hungry, by developing technologies to purify water and to glean clean water from the air.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We ARE the, "People of the Book" - for we learn, we read and comprehend. We are educators - Rabbis teachers, if you may, to the masses of the Tower of Babel.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here is exactly WHAT Emir -Prince Faisal Husseini, king of Syria and Iraq once learned and understood from his association with Jews when he wrote to US Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, an associate of Dr. Chaim Weizmann president of the Zionist Organization professing his support for Zionist aims in 1919: </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"We feel that the Arabs and Jews are cousins...and We Arabs, especially the educated among us look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement....We are working together for a reformed and revived Near East,...The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Our movement is national and not imperialist, and there is room in Syria for us both. Indeed I think that neither can be a real success without the other.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">People less informed and less responsible than our leaders and yours, ignoring the need for cooperation of the Arabs and Zionists have been trying to exploit the local difficulties that must necessarily arise in Palestine in the early stages of our movements. Some of them have, I am afraid, misrepresented your aims to the Arab peasantry, and our aims to the Jewish peasantry, with the result that interested parties have been able to make capital out of what they call our differences.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wish to give you my firm conviction that these differences are not on questions of principle, but on matters detail such as must inevitably occur in every contact of neighboring peoples, and as are easily adjusted by mutual good will. Indeed nearly all of them will disappear with fuller knowledge.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I look forward, and my people with me look forward, to a future in which we will help you and you will help us, so that the countries in which we are mutually interested may once again take their places in the community of civilized peoples of the world." </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">With the help of God, Inshallah, may ALL leaders of Moslem nations realize these words of Emir Faisal so that we may we all raise and EDUCATE our children in the ways of peace and happiness. It is OUR fervent hope that we know no more the sadness and cruelty of hatred, jealousy and war!</span></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563565823404091336.post-49247235339412740522021-05-24T11:21:00.001+03:002022-10-29T15:11:40.015+03:00Arab voices regarding the REAL TRUTH of the non-acceptance of Peace by the Palestinian's <blockquote><p> <span style="font-size: medium;">Here is more truth regarding the conflict from Khaled Abu Toameh</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">There is growing number of Arabs who are fed up with the non acceptance of Peace by the "Palestinians" -represented by overly corrupt leaders who abscond with aid money, the non construction of proper infrastructure -water, sewage and electricity and the waste on weapons and munitions used to commit real "war crimes". All of which is being carried out through the continuous efforts of Iran to destabilize the Arab countries with the help of the mullahs' proxies in the Middle East, including Hamas. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Abdulah Bin Binjad Al Otaibi, Saudi writer and researcher, Al-Ittihad, May 17, 2021. Wrote that the Hamas terrorist group:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Was well prepared for this war by building trenches in which its members can take shelter, while innocent Palestinians were being killed. Hamas likes to play the role of victim and kill Palestinians to win Arab, Islamic and international sympathy." </span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Real sympathy with the Palestinian people means searching for solutions for an actual and practical peace that guarantees their safety, security, and development"</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">and that... </span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"The solutions should also stop those [Hamas] who are ready to burn Palestine and its people."</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Al Otaibi noted that the Hamas terrorist group carried out a bloody coup in 2007 against the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip. </span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Some ask, is this the right time to present the crimes of Hamas. This is precisely the best time to do so. The reader can conduct a quick search on the Internet to learn about the crimes that Hamas has committed against the Palestinians. Hamas has the right to destroy its homes with its own hands, but it has no right to destroy the homes of Palestinians and underestimate their blood and the blood of their children."</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> Al Otaibi called on Arab countries to help the Palestinians get new leaders.</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood patrons do not care about the suffering or interests of the Palestinians," ... "They only care about demonizing those who stand against them. Hamas is saying: Let the Palestinians die for the sake of a Muslim Brotherhood victory."</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ahdeya Ahmed Al Sayed, President of the Bahrain Journalists Association, Twitter, May 16, 2021.</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Hamas did not use the children of Ismail Haniyeh, Khaled Mashaal or Ali Khamenei as human shields. Hamas used the Palestinian people [as human shields]." </span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Saudi writer, Mishary Dhayidi, warned that Hamas was aligned with Iran and the enemies of the Arabs and pointed out that Hamas has been associated with the Houthi militia in Yemen, Hezbollah, Egyptian terrorists and Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force who was killed last year in a US targeted drone attack near Baghdad International Airport in Iraq.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Emirati writer Al-Sheikh Wuldalsalek accused both Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas of "trafficking" in the Palestinian issue.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Abbas wants to cover up for this decision to postpone the Palestinian elections so that he can continue to sit on the presidential chair at the expense of Palestinian blood," and that "Hamas aspires to increase its popularity and drain the pockets of those who see it as a resistance movement by launching futile missiles that harm it more than doing any good."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Al-Sheikh Wuldalsalek accused Iran and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of : <i><b>"exploiting Palestinian blood without any shame or conscience."</b></i></span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"A few months ago, we were very happy with the signing of the Abraham Peace Accords [with Israel], which the people rely on to create peace that benefits everyone politically, economically and socially," Wuldalsalek wrote. "But the extremists are working to kill this dream. It is sad that some are working hard for peace, while others are working hard for the sake of war and the continuation of the conflict."</span></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Egyptian writer Khaled al-Berry advised that; <i>"criticism of Hamas is in the interest of the Palestinians, now and tomorrow" </i>and it <i>"is a message of awareness, caution, and a warning about the consequences of its organizational and regional ties."</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Former Jordanian Minister of Information Saleh Al-Gholab said that Hamas should choose between being a Palestinian group or <i>"a Muslim Brotherhood movement belonging to Iran."</i> Al-Gholab pointed out that <i><b>in 2007 Hamas launched a bloody coup against the Palestinian Authority and threw members of its rivals in Fatah from rooftops.</b></i></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">These voices show that the Arab world has grown tired of the non-acceptance of the Palestinian's to realize that their fantasy of return and destruction of the Jewish state is not worth the cost. </span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Those who are demonstrating against Israel and Jews in the US, Canada and Europe might want to tune in to what Arabs themselves are saying about Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. If they bothered to listen, they would understand that as far as many Arabs are concerned, the real threat to the future of Arab and Muslim children is coming from Iran and Islamic terrorist groups, and not from Israel. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These Arabs evidently understand what the anti-Israel activists around the world fail to see -- that Hamas has brought nothing but disaster and despair to the two million Palestinians living under its rule in the Gaza Strip.</span></p><p><i><b><span style="font-size: medium;">These Arabs also seem to understand that Israel is not waging war on the Palestinians, but against an Islamist terrorist group whose charter openly calls for jihad (holy war) and the elimination of Israel.</span></b></i></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These Arabs can also see that if one cares about the Palestinians, <i><b>why would one want them ruled by terrorists who place weapons caches near hospitals and schools, and use children as human shields?</b></i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Additionally, those who are condemning Israel for defending itself against the rocket and missile attacks need to see what article 15 of the Hamas charter states:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"The day the enemies usurp part of Muslim land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Muslim. In the face of the Jews' usurpation, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised."</span></blockquote><p></p><p><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The message that the sane Arab writers and political analysts who are NOT "bamboozled by lies" are trying to send to those Westerners who consider themselves "pro-Palestinian" is that: </span></i></b></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Hamas serves as a pawn in the hands of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood in the fight against Israel and the West."</span></blockquote><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"> and</span></b></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">"Criticism of Hamas does not make you anti-Palestinian; on the contrary, holding Hamas responsible for the violence and bloodletting actually serves the interests of the Palestinians."</span></blockquote><p></p>Yakov Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620676527852339869noreply@blogger.com0
