Indict Ahmadinejad petition gains momentum following UN speech
Christians United For Israel, a Christian Zionist organization, which began the petition drive in 2009, announced Wednesday it had garnered more than 133,000 signatures, including those of writer and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations; and Pastor John Hagee, the founder and chairman of CUFI .
Hagee is a controversial figure in Jewish circles. Some see him as an unwavering supporter of Israel while others bristle at his ultra-conservative comments and positions.
“There is incredible support for this [petition] effort,” said CUFI spokesman Ari Morgenstern.
The petition calls for Ahmadinejad to be charged under Article III Part C of the United Nations’ Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, specifically for the crime of direct and public incitement to commit genocide.
Incitement is one of five crimes allowed for under the convention. The others are genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, attempt to commit genocide and complicity in genocide.
The convention, which was passed in 1948 to outlaw actions similar to the Holocaust, defines genocide as either killing members of a group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on a group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
According to Morgenstern, Hagee initiated the petition drive following an appearance by Wiesel on his show.
“Wiesel said during the show that Ahmadinejad should be indicted. That planted the seed in our heads and we decided to build grass roots support for that effort,” said Morgenstern.
The International Criminal Court has jurisdiction over crimes such as those spelled out in the convention. Further, the U.N. Security Council has the power to refer violations of the convention to the ICC.
Ahmadinejad has enraged Jews and non-Jews alike in the past with calls to wipe Israel off the map, his statements that Holocaust did not happen and support for Holocaust deniers.
Last week, when he was in New York to speak at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly, he accused the United States or orchestrating the 9/11 attacks “to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime.”
Morgenstern said CUFI noticed an uptick in interest in the petition immediately following Ahmadinejad’s speech.
“For a while there we seeing about a thousand signatures an hour,” he said.

HAGEE: ENFORCE UN THOUGHT CRIMES LAW!
By Rev. Ted Pike7 Oct 10
Lemkin actually coined the term “genocide” to describe a bias-motivated crime of epic proportions. Today we are told by ADL that genocide is caused by prejudice against racial/religious groups. Such bias is the fundamental cause of history’s worst crimes. And where does most bias come from? ADL answers: “Christian intolerance.” Thus Christianity—and its biased, hateful and hurtful judgments—must be eliminated.
With this in mind, the Convention criminalizes actions which are not genocidal, such as "causing mental harm!" Lemkin’s broad and ambiguous definition of genocide makes it much easier to level the charge. “Human rights tribunals” must form to investigate and pontificate upon the intent of the accused. The result (as in ADL hate law countries today) is legal anarchy. No one is sure what "hate speech" is or whether a person’s motives can be sufficiently defended, especially if they have caused "emotional harm" by criticizing protected groups.
The Convention is identical in legal theory to the entrapping hate laws ADL/B’nai B’rith laid on Canada in 1971. The Canadian Human Rights Act says that if anyone has the bias motivation (intention) of criticizing members of federally protected groups (homosexuals, Jews, Muslims, etc.) and does so, causing them mental anguish, then the victim can bring a hate crimes charge against his verbal assailant. He will almost certainly be upheld and the “hater” receives a minimum $5,000 fine—and imprisonment if such “hate speech” continues.
Hagee, flanked by far left Jewish activists, now claims that Ahmadinejad intends to not only cause the state of Israel and Jewish people “serious mental harm,” but also to annihilate them. He says the world should have executed Hitler when his early words revealed his intention; then six million Jews would not have died. The same should be true of Ahmadinejad.
Should Iran’s leader be indicted under international law for his “intentions” and the emotional distress he brings Jews? 133,000 signatories, mostly evangelicals, say “Yes!” Such Christians should know they are putting their freedom and that of their children in extreme danger by such a stand. Most Christians and conservatives oppose any restrictions on free speech in their own countries; yet on the international scene, they eagerly join Zionist mouthpieces like Jay Sekulow, Hal Lindsey, and Hagee in censoring free speech. They demand Ahmadinejad be denied an international forum, especially at the UN. In joining the ADL/Zionist forces of censorship and boycott, evangelicals encourage international speech crime enforcement. The monster these evangelicals are creating will someday turn on them. When that happens, these very evangelicals will themselves be silenced.
What Hagee and his Zionist handlers recommend should be laughable in a free western world. But even more absurd and incredible Zionist initiatives are now a grim reality. Scholars who question the six million figure of Holocaust dead are outlawed, deported and imprisoned—with cooperation of most nations, including the US.
When ADL/B’nai B’rith helped Lemkin craft their Convention in 1948, his freedom-destroying scheme was far ahead of its time. Yet today, their dream of a federal hate crimes law in the US has come true. The next step toward world hate law enforcement is undoubtedly to resurrect the Genocide Convention. International law professor William A. Schabas approvingly says “…it sits four-square within the priorities of both the United Nations and the modern human rights movement, aimed at the eradication of racism and xenophobia.”
Since its ratification in 1948, the Convention has been criticized by conservatives as so ambiguous and potentially threatening that international political opportunists might someday use it to indict their adversaries. That fear is realized today. Hagee/Israel claim that they know Ahmadinejad intends to destroy Jews in Israel and that his threatening words cause fear and “mental harm” to Israelis; thus he is guilty of at least inciting genocide.
Conservatives at this time should limit development of international speech crimes enforcement, not encourage it. Although the US and many nations were reluctant to support international enforcement of the Convention, it was still enshrined in international law. Like other “sleeper” hate laws, awaiting their ominous moment in history, it could soon empower prosecution of politically incorrect individuals and nations. An essential step toward world government is increased participation of many groups—including Christians and Jews—to demand international hate crime enforcement.
Perhaps John Hagee is the evangelical Judas-goat chosen to lead that ominous march into the dark.

TABLE OF CONTENTS AND LEAD ARTICLELady Michèle Renouf in Teheran: ‘Mideast Peace Solution in SE Russia’
THE MODERN WORLD’S FIRST ZION is a story that needs to be brought to as many people as possible. This forgotten Manchurian paradise of “milk and honey” welcomes the world’s Jews with open arms, unlike the Palestinian desert. This autonomous region was recently visited by the president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, himself probably of Jewish stock. The Birobidzhan option is a viable and equitable solution to the problem of Israel.
BY LADY MICHÈLE RENOUF
In the July 5th issue of AMERICAN FREE PRESs, Paul Craig Roberts, the former assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury, writing after the Zionist lobby’s inter-Jewish backbiting against veteran journalist Helen Thomas, insisted he did “not want Israel destroyed.”
Whereas Ms. Thomas suggested returning Israeli Jews to their old European haunts, Mr. Roberts made what he called the “rhetorical proposal to relocate Israelis in the U.S.” Yet neither has been willing to state the obvious: that Israel at no time had any moral right to exist anywhere in Palestine.
(The living criminal blueprint for the Jewish state was drawn up by Theodor Herzl in 1895 when Adolf Hitler was aged 6, and World War II half a century away, and therefore irrelevant to the plan.)
As it happens there is a real, rather than rhetorical, alternative homeland option where the world’s Jews could relocate in perfect safety. Here their security wall would be optional rather than a self-fulfilling credal projection of their anti-gentile identity. A homeland which has never provoked desperate suicide bombings or rocket attacks, since its creation did not involve mythic impostures of “God-given” privileged real estate, the genocidal blueprint for piracy of other people’s ancestral land or their credally “authorized” displacement to besieged refugee camps.
The founding of this homeland predated the Zionist state by two decades. This Jewish Republic (in all but name) is the size of Switzerland. It still exists, and Yiddish is its first official language. What is officially called the Jewish Autonomous Region, though generally referred to by the name of its capital city Birobidzhan, it is located on Russia’s southeastern border with China. It was created in 1928 during the early days of the former Soviet Union and formalized in 1934.
I have had the opportunity to speak about Birobidzhan on two occasions this year in very different though equally prestigious venues. These venues each owe their best ethics essentially to the Classical Greek scientific attitude. The House of Lords in London, Mother of Parliaments, still purveys the aura of centuries-old sovereign tradition, though sadly Zionist-occupied territory for the past century and a half. By contrast the Iranian presidential headquarters in Teheran is today the principal target of predatory Zionist envy and aggression against the success of the Khomeini revolution, which made Iran’s economy and foreign policy off limits to international “greed is good”-oriented usurers.
On each occasion my public interventions on this subject were carefully monitored and commented on by the Community Security Trust (CST), the private army and intelligence organization of the UK’s Jewish community.
for the Jewish state was drawn
up by Theodor Herzl in 1895
when Adolf Hitler was aged 6,
and World War II half
a century away.”
The CST was set up in 1994 by jailbird tycoon Gerald Ronson, the archetypal Jewish shtarker or “hardman,” who previously cofounded the “62 Group,” a thuggish gang specializing in brutal attacks on anti-Zionists in London and around the United Kingdom.
While the 62 Group’s hitmen often found themselves on the wrong side of the law, the increasing power of the Zionist lobby in recent decades is reflected in the enhanced status of Ronson’s newer Jewish security force. The CST is not only tolerated by the British authorities, the Home Office and UK police forces actively and openly assist their operations. Indeed they act as a privileged nationalist police force within another nation.
Earlier this year the CST found it “troubling” to note that I “was speaking to a meeting at the House of Lords, where [my] proposal was greeted with applause . . . to promote her campaign to have Jews relocate en masse to Birobidzhan, a Jewish autonomous region established in the eastern Soviet Union by Stalin in 1934.”
A few months later they were even more concerned, noting my impromptu address to a thousand international delegates gathered at President Ahmadinejad’s Teheran headquarters during the 4th International Conference on Imam Khomeini and Foreign Policy, organized by the Iranian Institute for Political and International Studies.
I used this invitation to propose—directly to President Ahmadinejad — Birobidzhan as a home for Israel’s Jews. It is a ready-made, common sense option and just conclusion to the rogue criminal occupation of Palestine.
As I explained to the assembled company: Indeed after 1928 European Jews had no need to pirate Palestine, and to this day a Jewish Autonomous Region called Birobidzhan exists peacefully and available on Russia’s southeast border with China, having never displaced an indigenous people for its creation. Today some Jews—for instance Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s PR officer during a live televised debate with me—try to claim that it was an act of anti-Semitism when Stalin gave this region of 30,000 square kilometers (the size of Switzerland) to Jews. The truth is that Stalin was providing every ethnic group comprising the Soviet Union with its own autonomous region, and nothing “anti-Semitic” has ever endangered Birobidzhan during its 82 autonomously Jewish, safe and peaceful years of existence.
Furthermore, in 1945, when secular European Jews were crying “we are a people without a homeland, Palestine is a land without a people,” again they lied, for in 1945 there wasno political impediment to prevent European Jewry heading for the welcoming arms of their vast and long-established Jewish Autonomous Region in Birobidzhan.
The same is true today, yet in our mainstream media we hear not a word of Birobidzhan. Only rarely does the JewishTelegraphic Agency (JTA) mention Birobidzhan, and when it does it refers to it disingenuously as a “district.” Which district in the world is the size of Switzerland? The fact is that since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, its ethnically autonomous regions have been entitled to republic status, yet the JTA lets us know that due to so-called “sensitivity” to Israel, Birobidzhan has declined, due to fear of raising gentile public awareness of its existence, to acknowledge its status as this first Jewish homeland, which is all but a state and republic.
My hope is that our singularly upstanding President Ahmadinejad, who speaks the whole political truth bravely, will promote awareness of the first Jewish homeland and that there is no need for European Ashkenazim Jews to go back to Germany, Poland or Austria when they have their own state whose first language is Yiddish.
Please view my “first homeland” option and morale rearmament website at www.birobidjan.co.uk (also see www.jewishrepublic.com) for, in the spirit of Imam Khomeini, there you will find a campaign for moral and morale rearmament. The Palestinians whose Nakba constitutes the greatest and longest tragedy of the 20th century—those brave voters who democratically elected the long heroic Hamas—deserve the return of every inch of their tormented land, and not any part in the specious “one-state two-state” farce. The immediate vacation of European Jews from all of Palestine and compensation to the indigenous Arab peopleis more than overdue to those who, for more than a century, continue to fight for Reason at the front line of historicaltruth and international justice for all of us.
The CST warned its supporters: “Ahmadinejad’s responseto Renouf ’s plea is not known. But if the Iranianpresident does, at some point in the future, propose deporting Israeli Jews to Birobidzhan, you will know where he heard it first.”

that I ‘was speaking to a

So let me tell you, dear doughtyreaders of TBR. Eyeball to eyeball the dauntless president said in English,“you and me, we see it thesame.”
That may be because Khomeini’songoing successful morale rearmamentrevolution is surprisinglylike the key note of thecourageous bishop, Richard Williamson whosaid: without historicaltruth there can be no internationaljustice, and that “historical truthgoes by evidence, not by emotion.”
The opposing predatory strategyof our international Zionist foe depends upon the flimsy bind thattruth cannot matter to a man whoselivelihood depends upon his notseeing it. Yet without a “prophecy come true” swindling line, the advertisingmystique of the “ZionistEntity” can be readily undone. AsMr. Roberts points out, this charitystate is “heavily dependent on U.S.largess.” So let’s just turn off theAmerican taxpaying pipeline to theunworthy self-worshipping charitystate of Israel, Mr. Roberts.
I would suggest that the existenceof Birobidzhan is the non“anti-Semitic” option that is missing in everybody’s “one-stateor two-state” farce.
However, as Mr. Roberts appears not to have seenthrough the credal incompatibility of Judaism with Palestinianequality, regrettably he returns to the consensuallyfloundering inoperative “nice” fantasy of Zionism’s criticsthat “Israel should be moved or reformed.” But a “reformedIsrael” is nothing but an oxymoron. Hasn’t he noticed thatthat Israel is the barbaric Old Testament made manifest? Israeli-born “ex-jew” Gilad Atzmon certainly has said—andhe should know—that 97% of Israelis backed the “OperationCast Lead” gratuitous terror upon the besieged impoverishedGazans. This proves that Old Testament-dedicatedIsrael is morally non-“reformable.” Let’s just dismantle thiscriminal entity and let Jewry live and let live in their JewishRepublic of Birobidzhan so that the Palestinians need nolonger fight for Reason at the front line of historical truthand international justice for all of us.
