Offensive à Gaza : brochure du rabbinat militaire

lundi 26 janvier 2009 - 14h:45

Selon AFP

Le rabbinat de l’armée israélienne a distribué aux soldats durant l’offensive "Plomb durci" une brochure appelant au nom de la Bible "à ne pas avoir pitié" des ennemis d’Israël, a révélé lundi une organisation de défense des droits de l’Homme en Israël.

"Avoir pitié envers un ennemi cruel revient à se montrer cruel envers nos justes soldats (...) Nous sommes en guerre contre des assassins. A la guerre comme à la guerre", est-il écrit dans la brochure.

Le texte cite longuement des déclarations d’une figure du nationalisme religieux et de la colonisation en Cisjordanie occupée, le rabbin Shlomo Aviner, opposé à tout compromis avec les Palestiniens.

"La Torah nous interdit de remettre un seul millimètre (de la Terre d’Israël) à des non-juifs, que ce soient par des enclaves, des zones autonomes ou d’autres concessions manifestant notre faiblesse nationale", souligne la brochure.

La brochure juge tout à fait légitime de "faire un parallèle entre les Palestiniens d’aujourd’hui et les Philistins de la Bible" contre lesquels le roi David avait combattu, affirmant dans les deux cas qu’Israël fait face à des "envahisseurs étrangers" qui n’ont aucun droit à la Terre promise.

L’association Yesh Din, "Il y a une loi" a réclamé la destitution du rabbin en chef des armées Avihaï Rontzki dans une lettre au ministre de la Défense Ehud Barak, dont l’AFP a reçu une copie.

Par ailleurs, le quotidien libéral Haaretz rapporte que des groupes d’extrême-droite ont distribué sans entrave des tracts "appelant les soldats à ne pas tenir compte de consignes (de retenue) et d’exterminer l’ennemi".

Le rabbin de l’armée israélienne « a distribué un tract de haine aux soldats »

Extremist Rabbis Now Army Terrorists

Des Rabbins sionistes permettent à leur armée d'exécuter plus d'un million des habitants de Gaza

Plusieurs Fatwas des rabbins extrémistes sionistes ont béni et salué fortement les opérations et bombardements des forces de l'armée sioniste, en les encourageant de poursuivre leurs massacres contre Gaza, et en leur permettant de tuer les enfants, les femmes et les personnes âgées, comme "une punition collective de l'ennemi», et en les encouragent même d'exterminer plus d'un million de civils, selon un reportage publié, samedi 17/1, par le quotidien saoudien, Al-Watan.

"Mordekhaye Eliyahu", le plus rabbin du mouvement national dans l'entité sioniste, a adressé une lettre au ministre sioniste de la guerre, Ehud Barak ainsi que tous les dirigeants sionistes dans le bulletin du" Petit Monde ", sous forme d'une brochure distribuée, chaque vendredi, dans les synagogues, dans lequel l'histoire du massacre contre le Shikma Ibn Hammur, qui a été citée dans la Bible comme une preuve pour permettre aux Juifs de pratiquer les punitions collectives contre leurs ennemis, selon l'éthique de la guerre.

Selon le journal, Eliyahu qui a occupé au passé le poste de haut rabbin de l'Est, a déclaré que :"C'est le même critère qu'on peut appliquer à Gaza, en appelant et encourageant le Premier ministre israélien de continuer les attaques militaires contre la Bande de Gaza, en disant que "l'exécution des civils palestiniens est légitime".

Le journal "Haaretz" a publié une Fatwa de plusieurs rabbins sionistes qui appellent à l'application de leur prétendue Torah pour exterminer les peuples non juifs, contre tous ceux qui sont contre Israël ou lui portent haine.

"One must not forgive goyim who harm Jews"

Rabbinic Statement Cites Talmudic Legal Codex in Urging Revenge Murder of Arabs
--Note the "credentials" of Rabbi Uzi Sharbaf, co-author of the statement--
Source: Haaretz (Israeli newspaper), March 12, 2008

“...rabbis on Wednesday (March 12, 2008) called on Jews to avenge their enemies 'measure for measure,' a day after news reports circulated of an alleged yeshiva plot to strike a senior Arab official in retaliation for the terror attack at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva last week. In notices posted along Jerusalem's Kiryat Moshe neighborhood, near the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva, the rabbis wrote: ‘Each and everyone is required to imagine what the enemy is plotting to do to us, and to match it measure for measure.’

“...The long list of rabbis who signed the notice includes Daniel Staveski, Itzhak Shapira, David Drukman, Yaakov Yossef - son of Shas spiritual leader Ovadia Yosef - and Uzi Sharbaf, who killed several Arab college students in Hebron 20 years ago and was recently pardoned from a life sentence...

“The statement also says that the massacre at the yeshiva was ‘the direct result of the lack of a proper government, which should have acted according to the Shulkhan Arukh (a 16th century rabbinical codex) which states that one must not forgive goyim who harm Jews or their property. ‘The governing leaders have decided to appease the Arab enemy. Only the real Jewish leadership can send the country to war knowing that it is a righteous battle against the enemies of Israel and God. In going to war,’ the rabbis write, ‘the Cohen fills the people with motivation by giving him the knowledge that he is going to fight his enemies and he must not show compassion or mercy.”

Yahweh's 'mercy': Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's son says, 'We must repay our enemies in kind'

Less than a day after publication of reports that rabbis are granting halachic sanction to harm Arabs, various right-wing rabbis publish circular urging followers to 'fight the enemy tit for tat'.

On Wednesday, several right-wing rabbis, including the son of Shas party's spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, published circulars appearing in Jerusalem and West Bank settlements calling on followers to "fight the enemy tit for tat and blow for blow. They have no compassion for us, so we must feel none for them". (...)

"True Jewish leaders realize when it is necessary to go to war in order to justly defend the Jewish people, who are God's people, and the Jewish homeland, which is God's own dominion, from foes wishing to destroy them."

The attack on the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem is once again roiling things in Israel. This Yeshiva is a center of Jewish religious nationalism and is associated with the Gush Emunim settler movement. The ideology behind this movement can be traced to Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook (1891-1982). The following is from a review in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs of Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, by Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky. It is an excellent summary of the Rabbi Kook's ideology.

Juifs brûlant le Nouveau Testament dans les rues de Jérusalem

S'ils vont en enfer, ils nous entraînent avec eux

David Perlmutter, professeur à l'université de l'État de Louisianne, écrivait dans le The Los Angeles Times du 7 avril 2002::

Qu'est-ce [Israël] va faire? J'ai d'autres rêves aussi - des rêves apocalyptiques. Je pense que: Israël construit des armes nucléaires depuis trente ans. Les juifs ont compris ce que l'acceptation passive et impuissante de leur malheur a signifié pour eux dans le passé et ils se sont assurés contreune telle éventualité. Masada n'était pas un exemple à suivre - ça n'a pas fait mal aux Romains le moins du monde, mais, Samson à Gaza? Avec une bombe H?Qu'est-ce qui ferait mieux payer au monde haineux des juifs pour ces milliers d'années de massacres, qu'un hiver nucléaire? Ou inviter tous ces chefs d'État européens bien-pensants et des militants pacifistes à nous rejoindre dans les fours? Pour la première fois dans l'histoire, un peuple qui a fait face à l'extermination pendant que le tout le monde ricanait ou détournait le regard ... détient le pouvoir de détruire le monde. La justice ultime?

Willis Carto writes:

According to Israeli historian Michael Karpin, writing in his book, The Bomb in the Basement, Ben-Gurion referred to the Jewish money lords who donated some $40 million in the 1950s (the equivalent of $250 million today) to seed the weapons program as the "makdishim," or consecrators, and to their contributions as "hakdasha," consecration. Karpin noted:

Both of these Hebrew words derive from the word kadosh, sacred, which is also the root of the world Mikdash, or Temple -- the holiest institution of Judaism. And inside the Temple is the Kodesh Hakodashim, the Holy of Holies. And like the Temple, which was erected with the contributions of the children of Israel (Exodus 25 :1), so too Israel's nuclear program would be built with contributions. In Ben-Gurion's eyes, the nuclear project was holy. [Emphasis added.]

(...)Professor David Perlmutter of Louisiana State University, writing in The Los Angeles Times of April 7, 2002:

What [is Israel] to do? I have other dreams as well -- apocalyptic ones. I think: Israel has been building nuclear weapons for thirty years. The Jews understand what passive and powerless acceptance of doom has meant for them in the past and they have ensured against it. Masada was not an example to follow -- it hurt the Romans not a whit, but, Samson in Gaza? With an H-bomb?

What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter? Or invite all those tut-tutting European statesmen and peace activists to join us in the ovens?

For the first time in history, a people facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks away ... have the power to destroy the world. The ultimate justice?

The Samson Option Means Nuclear Armageddon



"Nous pouvons détruire n’importe quelle capitale européenne"
Bellaciao, Mercredi 28 janvier 2009
Un Professeur israélien :

Nous avons les moyens de détruire n’importe quelle Capitale européenne.

Par Nadim Ladki

www.martinvancreveld.com/biography/

(IAP News) - Ce professeur et historien militaire israélien a laissé comprendre qu’Israël pourrait se venger l’holocauste en exterminant des millions d’Allemands et d’autres Européens.

Lors d’une interview publiée à Jérusalem vendredi, le professeur Martin Van Crevel a déclaré qu’Israël avait « la capacité d’atteindre la plupart des capitales européennes avec ses armes nucléaires ».

« Nous possédons plusieurs centaines d’ogives atomiques et de fusées et pouvons atteindre nos cibles dans toutes les azimuts, et même Rome. La plupart des capitales européennes font partie des cibles potentielles de notre Armée de l’air ».

Creveld, un Professeur d’Histoire militaire à l’Université hébraïque de Jérusalem, a précisé que la « déportation collective » par Israël était la seule stratégie efficace à appliquer aux Palestiniens.

« Les Palestiniens doivent tous être expulsés. Les gens qui luttent dans ce but (Le Gouvernement israélien) attendent simplement la venue de "la bonne personne au bon moment". Il y a seulement deux ans, 7 ou 8 % des Israéliens étaient d’avis que ce serait la meilleure solution, il y a deux mois c’était 33 %, et maintenant, selon un Sondage Gallup, le chiffre est de 44 % pour ».

Creveld a déclaré qu’il était sûr que le Premier ministre israélien Ariel Sharon avait déjà voulu expulser les Palestiniens.

« Je pense qu’il est tout à fait possible qu’il ait voulu le faire. Il voulait intensifier le conflit. Il savait que rien d’autre ne pourrait réussir ».

A la question de savoir « s’il s’inquiétait du fait qu’Israël deviendrait un état voyou s’il mettait en oeuvre une déportation génocidaire à l’encontre des Palestiniens, Creveld a cité les paroles de l’ancien Ministre israélien de la Défense Nationale, Moshe Dayan, qui avait déclaré "Qu’Israël devait être comme un chien enragé, trop dangereux pour qu’on le contrôle ».

Creveld soutient qu’Israël ne se soucie pas du fait de devenir un « état voyou ».

« Nos forces armées ne sont pas au trentième rang, mais aux deuxième ou troisième rang mondial. Nous avons la capacité de détruire le Monde avec nous. Et je peux vous assurer que cela arrivera avant qu’Israël ne disparaisse ».

Israeli Professor:

'We Could Destroy All European Capitals'

http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/israel/destroycaps.html

By Nadim Ladki

02-06-2003

(IAP News) -- An Israeli professor and military historian hinted that Israel could avenge the holocaust by annihilating millions of Germans and other Europeans.

Speaking during an interview which was published in Jerusalem Friday, Professor Martin Van Crevel said Israel had the capability of hitting most European capitals with nuclear weapons.

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force."

Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, pointed out that "collective deportation" was Israel's only meaningful strategy towards the Palestinian people.

"The Palestinians should all be deported. The people who strive for this (the Israeli government) are waiting only for the right man and the right time. Two years ago, only 7 or 8 per cent of Israelis were of the opinion that this would be the best solution, two months ago it was 33 per cent, and now, according to a Gallup poll, the figure is 44 percent."

Creveld said he was sure that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wanted to deport the Palestinians.

"I think it's quite possible that he wants to do that. He wants to escalate the conflict. He knows that nothing else we do will succeed."

Asked if he was worried about Israel becoming a rogue state if it carried out a genocidal deportation against Palestinians, Creveld quoted former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan who said "Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother."

Creveld argued that Israel wouldn't care much about becoming a rogue state.

"Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that this will happen before Israel goes under."

L'option Samson: machine infernale de bombardement nucléaire mondial



Comme le Hollandais volant, le juif errant erre sur terre sans pouvoir mourir... la fin du monde serait pour lui une délivrance. S'il doit aller en enfer, il y entraînera le monde entier avec lui.

"La vérité, dit-il, est, en effet, telle que vous l'avez écrit un jour: on ne peut comprendre le Juif que si l'on connaît son but ultime. Et cet objectif est, au-delà de la domination mondiale, l'anéantissement du monde. Il doit écraser le reste de l'humanité, croit-il, afin de préparer un paradis sur terre. Il s'est convaincu que lui seul est capable d'accomplir cette grande tâche, et, compte tenu de ses idées concernant le paradis, il en est certainement capable. Mais on peut voir, si ce n'est que dans les moyens qu'il emploie, qu'il est secrètement mené par quelque chose d'autre. Alors qu'il prétend lui-même élever l'humanité, il tourmente les hommes au désespoir, à la folie, à la ruine. Si un arrêt n'est pas imposé, il détruira tous les hommes. Sa nature le pousse vers ce but, même s'il réalise confusément qu'il doit par là se détruire. Il n'y a pas d'autre voie pour lui, il doit agir ainsi. Cette prise de conscience de la dépendance inconditionnelle de sa propre existence envers celle de ses victimes me semble être la principale cause de sa haine. Le fait d'être obligé de nous rendre la vie dure et de nous anéantir de toute sa puissance, mais en même temps de soupçonner que cela doit entraîner inévitablement sa propre ruine - c'est là, si vous voulez, la tragédie de Lucifer ». (Adolf Hitler à Dietrich Eckart, in Bolshevism Form Moses to Lenin, A Conversation Cetween Hitler and Me)

"The truth," he said, "is, indeed, as you once wrote: one can only understand the Jew when one knows what his ultimate goal is. And that goal is, beyond world domination, the annihilation of the world. He must wear down all the rest of mankind, he persuades himself, in order to prepare a paradise on earth. He has made himself believe that only he is capable of this great task, and, considering his ideas of paradise, that is certainly so. But one sees, if only in the means which he employs, that he is secretly driven to something else. While he pretends to himself to be elevating mankind, he torments men to despair, to madness, to ruin. If a halt is not ordered, he will destroy all men. His nature compels him to that goal, even though he dimly realizes that he must thereby destroy himself. There is no other way for him; he must act thus. This realization of the unconditional dependence of his own existence upon that of his victims appears to me to be the main cause for his hatred. To be obliged to try and annihilate us with all his might, but at the same time to suspect that that must lead inevitably to his own ruin -- therein lies, if you will, the tragedy of Lucifer."

Discours messianiques

Cette connivence entre les sphères politique et religieuse n'est pas du goût de tout le monde, surtout quand elle semble engager la sécurité de l'État hébreu et de ses citoyens. « Je n'ai pas confiance dans une direction qui prend des décisions fondées sur des sentiments messianiques », s'était agacé Yuval Diskin en avril dernier. À l'instar de cet ancien patron du Shin Bet - les services de contre-espionnage -, plusieurs ténors de l'appareil sécuritaire récusent l'alarmisme de Netanyahou et de son ministre de la Défense, Ehoud Barak, à propos de la « menace » nucléaire iranienne. Tous deux partisans de la manière forte pour l'éradiquer, ils sont accusés de vouloir précipiter le pays dans une guerre aux conséquences dévastatrices.

Dieu interviendra pour sauver le "peuple élu" froudroyant au passage ses ennemis

Car derrière un sentiment de responsabilité morale à l'égard du destin du peuple juif - que ses détracteurs croient sincère -, l'actuel chef du gouvernement israélien ne serait pas insensible à certains courants rabbiniques. Celui de Menachem Mendel Schneerson, par exemple, défunt leader du mouvement Loubavitch, que Netanyahou avait cité lors d'une allocution à l'ONU en septembre 2011. Ses adeptes, dont ferait partie le Premier ministre, estiment que ce rabbin n'est autre que le Messie et qu'il vivrait toujours au milieu des hommes.

Un an plus tôt, dans un discours marquant la commémoration de la libération du camp d'Auschwitz, Netanyahou avait annoncé que la prophétie du chapitre 37 d'Ézéchiel, « Les ossements desséchés », était accomplie. Selon cette vision eschatologique, les prophéties des chapitres 38 et 39 seraient donc sur le point de se réaliser. Israël s'engagera dans une immense bataille, « Gog et Magog », où il essuiera de très lourdes pertes, mais à l'issue de laquelle Dieu interviendra pour sauver le « peuple élu », foudroyant au passage ses ennemis.

Guerre imminente

Dans un pays où la spiritualité guide le quotidien et les aspirations d'une partie non négligeable de la population, cette rhétorique messianique est loin d'être marginale. Sur internet, des dizaines de vidéos annonciatrices de la fin des temps apparaissent chaque jour. Des rabbins y décryptent les codes secrets de la Bible, présentant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad comme la réincarnation d'Aman, ce vizir perse qui, jadis, avait planifié la destruction des Juifs. La guerre contre l'Iran y est même annoncée pour le mois d'eloul 5772, ce qui, d'après le calendrier hébraïque, correspondrait... à septembre 2012.

Alors que certaines fuites dans la presse suggèrent une attaque israélienne à l'automne, juste avant l'élection présidentielle américaine, des sages appellent déjà les Juifs à la rédemption. « Nous savons des choses que vous ignorez. Ni les abris ni les systèmes antimissiles de Tsahal ne pourront vous sauver », assure l'influent rabbin Amnon Itshak Chlita, qui prédit un déluge de feu contre les villes israéliennes. « Retournez à la foi, priez, respectez le repos du sabbat, et l'Éternel vous offrira sa protection. »

Mark Dankof on Michael Collins Piper's "The Golem"

Book Review:

The Golem: Israel's Nuclear Hell Bomb and the Road to Global Armageddon
 by Michael Collins Piper
American Free Press, Washington, D. C./1-888-699-NEWS
182 pages

"American politicians are scared stiff of the Jews because anybody who votes against the Jews will lose elections. The Jews in America are supporting the Jews in Israel. Israel and other Jews control the most powerful nation in the world. And that is what I mean [about Jews controlling the world by proxy]. I stand by that view."

--Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, ex prime-minister of Malaysia, to the UK Guardian in 2005

The recent murder of yet another 10 year old Palestinian boy in Gaza by Israeli occupational forces, and the character of Israeli strip searches of Palestinians as reported by Alison Weir of If Americans Knew, are but the most recent evidence of the character of the Zionist regime supported by the United States since 1948.

Mark Glenn's August 4th post at Crescent and Cross on the "suicide" of Dr. Bruce Ivins, the late anthrax researcher stationed at Fort Dietrich, Maryland, is similarly suggestive, especially in light of Glenn Greenwald's recent reflections on the subject for Salon.

There is much that is not what it appears to be.

The composite picture of the last 60 years is both starkly grim, and largely unreported by the American corporate media for all the usual and obvious reasons, a phenomenon understood only by the less than one percent of the electorate in the United States which has figured out the predictable modus operandi of the Israeli government and intelligence apparatus, and the Neo-Conservatives in the American government and national security establishment married to their masters in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

The individual episodes in the composite model are a litany of carefully veiled crimes against both indigenous Palestinians and a largely unsuspecting American public whose political, military, and economic largesse has been skillfully siphoned off by an Israeli Lobby disproportionately influential in every arena of institutional life in the United States. The Begin/Irgun bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the assassination of Count Bernadotte, the ethnic cleansing and genocide at Deir Yassin, the Lavon Affair, the assassination of President Kennedy, the premeditated attack on the USS Liberty, Rafi Eitan's purloining of American nuclear secrets at Los Alamos in a joint Israeli-Communist Chinese espionage project involving PROMIS, the murder of UK media magnate Robert Maxwell, the Israeli utilization of cluster bombs in southern Lebanon in 2006, and the pivotal role of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) crowd in paving the way for the present American military prosecution of wars of counterinsurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan, are noteworthy but far from exhaustive examples of a brand of criminal activity emanating from the Zionist State and annually subsidized by an American Congress to the tune of at least $5 billion a year. Pat Buchanan'scharacterization of the latter as "Zionist Occupied Territory" is clearly on target.

The next phase in the program of Eretz Yisrael is obviously an American-Israeli preemptive military strike on Iran. The predicted aerial raids on Iran, potentially with the employment of tactical nuclear weapons, are but an extension of a conflict that has already started in earnest. Philip Giraldi of The American Conservative has noted the execution of CIA-Mossad-MI6 black operations in Iranian Azerbaijan, Khuzestan, and Balochistan provinces in recent months. Economic sanctions against Tehran and its central banks have been widely reported by Bloomberg and The Asian Times. The publicized deployment of American aircraft carrier task forces in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz augment these other methodologies in the War of Nerves.

This War of Nerves has a new component in recent weeks: the introduction in the United States Congress of House Concurrent Resolution 362, sponsored by Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N. Y.). The companion legislation in the United States Senate is Resolution 580, introduced by Sen. Evan Bayh (D.-Ind.). As pointed out by Rep. RonPaul (R-Tex.) in the July 28 American Free Press, the House legislative action is a "virtual Iran war resolution." That House Concurrent Resolution 362 is being promoted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is predictable.

And when one reads the most recent AIPAC speeches by sockpuppets Obama, McCain, and Clinton, the configuration of the tea leaves becomes definitive: War with Iran, as Congressman Paul has indicated, is virtually "inevitable."

What has made this tragedy an apparent fait accompli? Many have suggested an intersection of interests has put Iran in the cross hairs. Has the Eretz Yisrael Lobby made common cause with transnational oil and gas consortiums thirsty for reserves, pipelines, and the compelling drive to destroy a Euro-denominated oil bourse created by Ahmadinejad?

One thing is guaranteed: the world will note that Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPF), while Israel is not. Mr. Bush and Mr. Shaul Mofaz notwithstanding, the NPF grants Tehran the right under international law to enrich uranium for non-militarized purposes. Concurrently, it will be duly noted that the American National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) and the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) contradict the Neo-Conservative depiction of an imminently dangerous and weaponized Iranian nuclear program. And should the Iranian program be proven to have a military application downstream, another question will be begged: Why has the United States done nothing about the weaponized nuclear programs of India and Pakistan, much less the unrestrained nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons profile of Israel, while threatening Iran with preemptive apocalypse?

Finally, one may ask if an American economic profile involving a $9 trillion dollar national debt, and $16 billion dollars a month in expenditures of internationally borrowed monies for Iraq and Afghanistan, can sustain the additional financial burden of another War for Israel, this time with Iran. And what strategies of asymmetrical warfare has Tehran crafted as a response to Tel Aviv and Washington?

Will Beijing and Moscow acquiesce in an IDF-USAF pummeling of their Persian ally, and an accompanying American hegemony over Caspian Sea oil and Central Asian trade routes?

No American Presidential candidate is offering the answers to these compelling questions. And on the basis of H. R. 362 and S. R. 580, the Congress of the United States is compelled to sign on to the next phase of the War Party's vision for the world, even if the endgame is the death of thousands, or millions, of innocent victims. One can be forgiven for drawing the conclusion that these deaths mean little to the American and Israeli establishments as long as the blood shed involves Persians and Arabs. When a sea of American financial red ink is accompanied by a symmetrical loss of the blood of its own sons and daughters, light will presumably dawn. Will it be too late for the Old Republic and the world?

It is in light of this last rhetorical question that the reader will appreciate the recent work of Michael Collins Piper, entitled "The Golem: Israel's Nuclear Hell Bomb and the Road to Armageddon."

The value of Piper's effort is multifold. He begins by addressing the hot button issue of Jewish racial supremacism as articulated in the Talmud and embodied in the legend of The Golem. While the issue of Talmudic racialism and the doctrine of Jewish exclusivity is more comprehensively addressed in "Jesus in the Talmud," the seminal work of Dr. Peter Schafer, Ronald O. Perelman Professor of Judaic Studies and Director of the Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton, Piper's willingness to bring Talmudic ideology into a wider comprehension of Israeli nuclear policy is instructive to the newly initiated.

A second ingredient of The Golem is the author's encyclopedic knowledge of the pro-Zionist, Neo-Conservative links of a labyrinthine maze of media outlets, politicians, think tanks, publishing houses, and Israeli assets operating within the American government and national security establishment. The reader will begin a life-long journey toward the truth and all of its derivative implications in simply engaging in Internet search of each tidbit of data provided in The Golem.

The Golem offers a third contribution especially crucial to understanding the comprehensive consequences of the takeover of the American Right after World War II by pro-Zionist elements with fistfuls of Jewish cash--the treasured work of Lawrence Dennis (1893-1977), tabbed by Piper as "America's foremost nationalist theoretician" for the former's opposition to Zionist power, the emergence of nuclear weapons, and Wars for Empire enshrouded in utilitarian religious and theocratic auras. Piper's reproduction of the Dennis essay entitled, "The Biggest Crime of the 20th Century," occurs in chapter 30 and is must reading. Contrasting the prophetic Dennis warnings contained in the essay with the regular Neo-Conservative fanfare churned out by WorldNetDaily, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Human Events, National Review, The Weekly Standard, and The Washington Times, one is reminded that the Old Right's commitment to limited and Constitutional governance is antithetical to the Zionist-funded Neo-Conservative Right and the latter's infatuation with ongoing deployments of the American military as a surrogate janissary force for Israel and transnational corporations. Michael Collins Piper reminds the reader of Lawrence Dennis's warnings about domestic police states as a necessary corollary to governments bent on wars of imperialism abroad, even as attention is drawn anew, by the author, to the obvious fact that the Zionist State of Israel is the key ingredient in this self-destructive direction undertaken by the American governing elite.

In the consideration of the Lawrence Dennis legacy, the reader is also reminded of the paucity of present voices on the American Right still sounding the alarms of this long departed 20th century Leviathan. In its own way, The Golem and its author unwittingly confirm that Michael Collins Piper is not simply one of those voices still extant, but arguably the torchbearer of the 21st century movement to regain both the American Right and the Old Republic from the evils of Zionism, Globalism, and the New World Order. In that regard, Mr. Piper has an excruciating burden to bear, and many miles to go before he sleeps.

La Presse Anglo-Israélo-(Canadienne)

La radicalisation de la tendance pro-sioniste dans la presse et la politique canadiennes-anglaises

Yves Claudé
Lettre au Devoir
dimanche 18 janvier 2009

Le contenu de la couverture de presse canadienne-anglaise de l’opération militaire israélienne contre la population de Gaza reflète la propriété économique de ces médias (CanWest Global, une transnationale médiatique pro-Israël, entre autres…), mais aussi la radicalisation de la tendance pro-sioniste de la politique canadienne.

Cette radicalisation s’est opérée d’abord au sein du Parti libéral du Canada, alors qu’Izzy Asper (propriétaire de l’empire CanWest Global) ajoutait son poids médiatique à celui des milieux politiques et communautaristes pro-israéliens. À peu près seul dans le PLC à se démarquer de positions pro-sionistes obligées, le député québécois Yvon Charbonneau a été stigmatisé avec véhémence comme « antisémite » par des médias et des porte-parole communautaristes (ex : « a reported anti-Semite », Jewish Tribune, 21-10-2004), jusqu’à ce qu’il soit mis à l’écart du parti en 2004. Même le Nouveau Parti Démocratique, formation canadienne se revendiquant de la « gauche », pêchant délibérément en eau trouble…, a participé au lynchage politique d’Yvon Charbonneau.

Ces changements se sont précipités dans le contexte d’après septembre 2001, alors que la vague états-unienne de démonisation des Résistances nationales (palestinienne, afghane, irakienne, etc.) qualifiées de « terroristes » - en écho à celle de la Résistance française dans les années 1940 - a eu pour effet de stigmatiser toute parole s’écartant de l’Axe du Bien (Washington - Tel-Aviv) tel que défini par G.W. Bush.

Rappelons cependant qu’en 2003, le très fort mouvement québécois d’opposition à la guerre contre l’Irak (1), avait dissuadé le gouvernement libéral du Canada de participer à l’attaque états-unienne contre ce pays.

En janvier 2006, l’arrivée au pouvoir du Parti conservateur du Canada marque un tournant vers une politique canadienne encore plus ajustée à celle des USA et à celle des milieux pro-sionistes. Brian Mulroney, ancien premier ministre conservateur du Canada (1984-1993), avait discrètement préparé le terrain dans ces milieux (« I appointed Jews to my Cabinet and to the highest reaches of the public service and judiciary… », discours du 9-2-2003).

À l’été 2006, lors de l’opération militaire israélienne au Liban, le National Post a pris la tête d’une croisade contre le mouvement québécois de solidarité avec la population libanaise (2), avec un acharnement particulier contre les partis politiques indépendantistes (le Parti québécois et le Bloc québécois) qui y participaient, et le quotidien de CanWest a même insinué qu’un « Quebecistan » indépendant « serait l’ami des terroristes »… (3) !

Alors que les frappes israéliennes causaient des centaines de victimes au Liban, y compris des citoyens canadiens, le gouvernement de Stephen Harper a apporté son soutien inconditionnel à Israël, comme il le fait actuellement (4), tandis que c’est la nation palestinienne qui pleure aussi ses morts par centaines. Le nouveau chef du Parti libéral du Canada, Michael Ignatieff, a émis récemment une position aussi radicalement pro-sioniste, en appuyant inconditionnellement l’intervention israélienne à Gaza.

La déferlante d’un néo-maccarthysme pro-sioniste et « anti-terroriste » a influencé la couverture médiatique des événements de Palestine au Canada anglais, et a – par ailleurs - probablement dissuadé nombre de personnalités politiques et culturelles québécoises de manifester ouvertement leur solidarité avec la population de Gaza, qui après avoir soutenu le « terrorisme » de l’OLP, a « mal voté » en optant pour celui du Hamas.

Le Québec serait-il à présent une nation doublement dominée ?

Ownership of Canadian Newspapers

---

posted by anarchore on March 4th, 2009

How did this come to pass, with all the government commissions to investigate media concentration in Canada? The commissions came and went, but the media ownership got more and more concentrated.
The effect is a dumbing-down of the national media, with the American Zionist neoconservative rubrick of the War on Terror completely adopted by the media Canadians trusted to keep them informed.

Ownership of Canadian Newspapers

Version 1, August 2005
Ownership of Canadian Newspapers is an ongoing study tracing the changes in
ownership of Canadian newspapers. Data were collected in conjunction with the OMPP
Ottawa Press Gallery Study. Initial information on ownership was gathered mainly from
the report of the Royal Commission on Newspapers (Canada, 1981), from newspapers
articles reporting on the different mergers and acquisitions, from the official websites of
the different newspapers or from the newspapers’ own archives.
This list is far from being complete. We therefore welcome any additions to our ongoing
study. If you have further information on the ownership of these Canadian newspapers,
please send them to the OMPP at ompp@mcgill.ca.

Let ‘Isr-elWest’ Propaganda Network Burn

posted by anarchore on March 25th, 2009

No one wants to read Ziofascist propaganda, so the Ziofascist government may help out the propagandists

Canwest Global is Isr-eli Propaganda

CanWest is a deleterious influence on Canadian democracy. They should be registered as a Foreign Lobby group.

Some broadcasters are more equal than others

Heritage Minister is reportedly considering lending a hand to Canwest after turning a deaf ear to the CBC

Good things come to those who wait. At least that’s Canwest Global Communications’ perspective on Ottawa’s new-found willingness to consider assistance for Canada’s beleaguered private television networks.

On Wednesday, Heritage Minister James Moore confirmed that the Harper government is looking at loosening broadcast regulations and changing tax rules to help the media giant stave off bankruptcy. But the spin from the company’s Winnipeg HQ is that this is less a bailout than a righting of historic wrongs.
“It’s a sign that the government is hearing the growing chorus of voices—consumer groups, organized labour, the Opposition, special interest groups—who are all saying that the way consumer dollars are collected for viewing cable are not being adequately and fairly sent around to everybody,” says John Douglas, Canwest’s vice-president public affairs. “Our position on this is the same as it has been since 1971.”
Canwest, along with CTV and Quebecor, owners of the private French TVA network, have long been asking the CRTC to treat their conventional channels more like specialty networks, which receive a share of cable subscribers’ monthly bills known as carriage fees. Cable providers like Rogers, which owns Maclean’s, are opposed to the idea, claiming the system could inflate customers’ bills by as much as $10 a month. The conventional broadcasters say the estimated $300 million a year fee-for-carriage would generate is essential to their survival. The CRTC categorically rejected that argument last fall, saying the networks failed to prove they really needed the higher revenues. But as the global economic meltdown has taken its toll on advertising, broadcasters are finding that Ottawa is a lot more receptive to being—rather than crying—poor. “We have the CRTC admitting now that the model is broken,” says Douglas. “And anything that would be contemplated by the federal government, I’m assuming, would be in recognition that the state of the industry is what we said it was two years ago.”
But deep cuts to local news coverage by all the private networks, moves by Canwest to sell its five E! channels and threats by both CTV and CanWest to walk away from unprofitable smaller markets, are also clearly forcing government’s hand. And the message that immediate help is needed has been taken directly to 24 Sussex Drive. Both CanWest CEO Leonard Asper and Quebecor’s Pierre-Karl Péladeau, have personally met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on behalf of their companies in recent weeks. The federal lobbyist database also shows meetings with Minister Moore, senior CRTC executives, and former industry minister Jim Prentice. Douglas would not comment on specific meetings, or reports that Canwest has engaged the lobbying services of Ken Boessenkool, a former senior Harper adviser, but said the company has always kept Ottawa in the loop about its concerns: “The amount of dialogue we’ve had is no different that what we’ve had over the previous years.”
If the government’s aim in saving Canwest is to preserve local programming, easing content restrictions is a curious way to go about it, argues Canada’s largest media union. In a statement released Thursday, the Communnications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada says the federal government should be wary of bailing out from under the weight of its “bad business decisions.” In fact, if the CRTC does eventually allow the broadcasters’ to collect carriage fees, the government agency should use the opportunity to tie the extra funds to “new, original news and information programming,” says Peter Murdoch, the union’s vice-president, media. “Local programming is not the cause of Canwest’s debt problems, nor should it be made its victim.”
The prospect of doling out government aid to Canwest also raises the question of just what the government should be doing to help other types of media struggling in these uncertain economic times. Canwest, for example, also owns 39 daily and community newspapers in Canada. And while they don’t appear to be lobbying Ottawa for assistance on that front (the lobbying database lists “broadcasting” as the subject of all recent meetings), given the industry’s current difficulties south of the border, it is not inconceivable that Canada’s papers will also soon find themselves at a crossroads.
David Black, president and CEO of Black Press, which operates more than 150 community and daily papers in Canada and the U.S., declined to comment on any possible assistance for his competitor (“You don’t want to go there”) but said there is a case to be made for Ottawa helping print too. “I don’t believe that government will work very well without daily newspapers,” he says. “If the opposition raises its voice in the House and no one is there to report it, what good does that do?” Given the current crisis, journalistic ethics may have to take a back seat to economic realities, says Black. “You want to be able to run editorially without fear or favour, but on the other hand we’ve got a problem.”
The one place where the Harper government is emphatically drawing the line, however, is public broadcasting. Moore has already said Ottawa will not provide more money to the CBC after the network disclosed that it is facing an estimated $100 million hole in its budget due to shrinking ad revenue. Ditto to requests for an advance on next year’s funding or a bridge loan. “The only way we’ll get the financial flexibility we had asked for,” says CBC spokesperson Marco Dubé, “is to sell some of our assets.” For his part, the Heritage minister suggested earlier this week that the CBC would have to cut between 600 and 1,200 jobs to balance its books.
Whether the public and private broadcasters—long bitter enemies—will find common cause in these troubled times, remains to be seen. One of the issues that Leonard Asper is registered to lobby on is the future mandate of the CBC. But at this point, CanWest has no position of whether its rival deserves some assistance too. “That’s not for us to comment on,” says Douglas. “We’re in a position to comment on our situation and the realities of our network.”
