There really is no limit to the amount of manipulation and deception that

supporting everyone and their enemy.

While Israel remained Apartheid South Africa's only trading partner, it
still maintained good clandestine and intelligence relations with the ANC,
even allowing Mandela to fly their airlines.  An Israeli military camp once
trained opposing fighters from a civil war in Asia at the same time.  And
most importantly, Democrats and Republicans, in all their varieties from
Pat Robertson to Michael Moore, while disagreeing on everything, fall over
each other to lend praise to the great country of Israel.

It is just despicable how much power Zionists have, and that is the reason
this conflict is so intractable.

Response Jim C:

I know some on that list and some are not Native and/or are longtime and
well known "Official Indians." Among Blackfoot, our Elders, without knowing
much about the geography or history of Palestine, instictively refer to
themselves as "Palestindians" knowing that we are both occupied and
plundered Peoples who are the object and ongoing victims of genocide.

But there are other parallels as well. For example, the Alberta
Sterilization Act of 1928, and the sterilization acts of 27 states of the
U.S. that defined Natives as inherently "feebleminded" and subject to
sterilization, was the model for the nazi 1933 "Race Hygiene Law" and the
1935 Nuremberg Race Laws" which have parallels in Israel. Further the use
of Natives and dispossessed Peoples for medical experimentation has also
paralells in Israel. From my website

The "Spirit" of "Dr." Josef Mengele Alive and Well in Israel The Spirit of
"Dr." Josef Mengele Alive and Well in Israel

From: "The Other Side of Deception" by Victor Ostrovsky (former Mossad),
Harper Collins, N.Y. 1994
--
" That was where I would come in as a military police officer; my job was
to take the prisoners to a holding facility in Nes Ziyyona, a small town
south of Tel Aviv. I'd always assumed that it was an interrogation facility
for the Shaback. We all knew that a prisoner brought there would probably
never get out alive, but the brainwashing we'd gone through in our short
lifetimes had convinced us that it was them or us; there was no gray area.
--
It was Uri who enlightened me regarding the Nes Ziyyona facility. It was,
he said, an ABC warfare laboratory--ABC standing for atomic,
bacteriological, and chemical. It was where our top epidemiological
scientists were developing various doomsday machines. Because we were so
vulnerable and would not have a second chance should there be an all-out
war in which this type of weapon would be needed, there was no room for
error. The Palestinian infiltrators came in handy in this regard. As human
guinea pigs, they could make sure the weapons the scientists were
developing worked properly and could verify how fast they worked and make
them even more efficient. What scares me today, looking back at that
revelation, is not the fact that it was taking place but rather the
calmness and understanding with which I accepted it.
--
Years later, I met Uri again. This time he was in the Mossad, a veteran
'katsa' in the Al department, and I was a rookie. He had come back from an
assignment in South Africa. I was then a temporary desk man in the Dardasim
department in liaison helping him prepare for a large shipment of
medication to South Africa to accompany several Israeli doctors who were
headed for some humanitarian work in Soweto, a black township outside
Johannesburg. The doctors were to assist in treating patients at an
outpatient clinic for the Baragwanath hospital in Soweto, a few blocks away
from the houses of Winnie Mandela and bishop Desmond Tutu. The hospital and
clinic were supported by a hospital in Baltimore, which served as a cut-out
for the Mossad. Uri was on a cooling-off period from the United States.
--
'What is the Mossad doing giving humanitarian assistance to blacks in
Soweto?' I remember asking him. There was no logic to it; no short-term
political gain (which was the way the Mossad operated) or any visible
monetary advantage.
--
'Do you remember Nes Ziyyona?' His question sent shivers up my spine. I
nodded. ' This is very much the same. We're testing both new infectious
diseases and new medication that can't be tested on humans in Israel, for
several of the Israeli medicine manufacturers. This will tell them whether
they're on the right track, saving them millions in research.'
--
' What do you think about all of this?' I had to ask.
--
' It's not my job to think about it.'

The Ringworm Children: How the Israeli Government Irradiated 100,000
Israeli Kids Israel Insider October 28 2005 By Barry Chamish

On August 14, at 9 PM, Israel's Channel Ten television screened a
documentary film which exposes the ugliest secret of Israel's Labor party
founders: the deliberate mass radiation poisoning of nearly all Sephardi
youths of a generation.
-
"The Ringworm Children" (translated in Hebrew as "100,000 Rays"), directed
by David Belhassen and Asher Hemias, recently won the prize for "best
documentary" at the Haifa International film festival, and in the past year
has made the rounds of Jewish and Israeli film festivals around the world.
But it had yet to come to Israeli television screens. The subject is the
mass irradiation of hundreds of thousands of young Israeli immigrants from
Middle Eastern countries -- Sephardim, as they are called today. The story
goes like this:
-
In 1951, the director general of the Israeli Health Ministry, Dr. Chaim
Sheba, flew to America and returned with seven x-ray machines, supplied to
him by the American army.
-
They were to be used in a mass atomic experiment with an entire generation
of Sephardi youths to be used as guinea pigs. Every Sephardi child was to
be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head. For
doing so, the American government paid the Israeli government 300 million
Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60 million liras. The
money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of dollars today.
-
To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away on "school
trips" and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment for
the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after
their doses were given, while many of the rest developed cancers that
killed thousands over time and are still killing them now. While living,
the victims suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's
disease, chronic headaches and psychosis.
-
That is the subject of the documentary in cold terms. It is another matter
to see the victims on the screen.
-
To watch the Moroccan lady describe what getting 35,000 times the dose of
allowable x-rays in her head feels like. "I screamed make the headache go
away. Make the headache go away. Make the headache go away. But it never
went away."
-
To watch the bearded man walk hunched down the street. "I'm in my fifties
and everyone thinks I'm in my seventies. I have to stoop when I walk so I
won't fall over. They took my youth away with those x-rays."
-
To watch the old lady who administered the doses to thousands of children:
"They brought them in lines. First their heads were shaved and smeared in
burning gel. Then a ball was put between their legs and the children were
ordered not to drop it, so they wouldn't move. The children weren't
protected over the rest of their bodies. There were no lead vests for them.
I was told I was doing good by helping to remove ringworm. If I knew what
dangers the children were facing, I would never have cooperated. Never!"
-
Because the whole body was exposed to the rays, the genetic makeup of the
children was often altered, affecting the next generation. We watch the
woman with the distorted face explain, "All three of my children have the
same cancers my family suffered. Are you going to tell me that's a
coincidence?"
-
The majority of the victims were Moroccan because they were the most
numerous of the Sephardi immigrants. The generation that was poisoned
became the country's perpetual poor and criminal class. It didn't make
sense. The Moroccans who fled to France became prosperous and highly
educated. The common explanation was that France got the rich, thus smart
ones. The real explanation is that every French Moroccan child didn't have
his brain cells fried with gamma rays.
-
The film made it perfectly plain that this operation was no accident. The
dangers of x-rays had been known for over forty years. We read the official
guidelines for x-ray treatment in 1952. The maximum dose to be given a
child in Israel was .5 rad. There was no mistake made. The children were
deliberately poisoned.
-
David Deri makes the point that only Sephardi children received the x-rays:
"I was in class and the men came to take us on a tour. They asked our
names. The Ashkenazi children were told to return to their seats. The dark
children were put on the bus."
-
The film presents a historian who first gives a potted history of the
eugenics movement. In a later sound bite, he declares that the ringworm
operation was a eugenics program aimed at weeding out the perceived weak
strains of society. The Moroccan lady is back on the screen. "It was a
Holocaust, a Sephardi Holocaust. And what I want to know is why no one
stood up to stop it."
-
David Deri, on film and then as a panel member, relates the frustration he
encountered when trying to find his childhood medical records. "All I
wanted to know was what they did to me. I wanted to know who authorized it.
I wanted to trace the chain of command. But the Health Ministry told me my
records were missing." Boaz Lev, the Health Ministry's spokesman chimes in:
"Almost all the records were burned in a fire."
-
We are told that a US law in the late '40s put a stop to the human
radiation experiments conducted on prisoners, the mentally feeble and the
like. The American atomic program needed a new source of human lab rats and
the Israeli government supplied it. Here was the government cabinet at the
time of the ringworm atrocities:
-
Prime Minister - David Ben Gurion; Finance Minister - Eliezer Kaplan;
Settlement Minister - Levi Eshkol; Foreign Minister - Moshe Sharrett;
Health Minister - Yosef Burg; Labor Minister - Golda Meir; Police Minister
- Amos Ben Gurion.
-
The highest ranking non-cabinet post belonged to the Director General of
the Defence Ministry, Shimon Peres.
-
That a program involving the equivalent of billions of dollars of American
government funds should be unknown to the Prime Minister of cash-strapped
Israel is ridiculous. Ben Gurion had to have been in on the horrors and
undoubtedly chose his son to be Police Minister in case anyone interfered
with them.
-
Finance Minister Eliezer Kaplan was rewarded for eternity with a hospital
named after him near Rehovot. But he's not alone in this honor. Chaim
Sheba, who ran Ringworm Incorporated, had a whole medical complex named
after him. Needless to say, if there is an ounce of decency in the local
medical profession, those hospital names will have to change.
-
After the film ended, there was a panel discussion which included a
Moroccan singer, David Edri, head of the Compensation Committee for
Ringworm X-Ray Victims, and Boaz Lev, a spokesman for the Ministry Of
Health.
-
TV host Dan Margalit tried to put a better face on what he'd witnessed. He
explained meekly that "the state was poor. It was a matter of day to day
survival." Then he stopped. He knew there was no excusing the atrocities
which the Sephardi children endured.
-
But it was the Moroccan singer who summed up the experience best. "It's
going to hurt, but the truth has to be told. If not, the wounds will never
heal."
-
There is one person alive who knows the truth: Shimon Peres. The only way
to get to the truth and start the healing is to investigate him for his
role in the mass poisoning of over 100,000 Sephardi children and youth.
-
But here is why that won't happen. The film was aired at the same time as
the highest-rated TV show of the year, the finale of Israel's talent-hunt
show: "A Star Is Born." The next day, the newly-born star's photo took up
half the front pages. There was not a word about "The Ringworm Children" in
any paper, nor on the Internet. Until now.

Zionism and Anti-Semitism
--

>From Tom Segev, "The Seventh Million: Israelis and the Holocaust" Hill and
Wang, NY, 1993
--
" On January 31, 1933, the day after Hitler became chancellor, the
independent liberal daily 'Haaretz' decried this 'hugely negative
historical event'. Ten days later it ran a headline that read, 'BLACK DAYS
IN GERMANY.' The paper followed the ongoing 'anti-Semitic horror', but
during those first weeks it, like the British press, generally aimed at
reassuring its readers: 'One must suppose that Hitlerism will now renounce
terrorist methods: government brings responsibility.' the right-wing 'Doar
Hayom' agreed: 'There can be no doubt that Hitler the chancellor will be
different from the Hitler of the public rallies.' But from the start,
'Davar'--the left-wing daily published by the Histadrut (Labor
Federation)--was more pessimistic: 'It was a bitter and ill-fated day when
the New Vandal came to power', the newspaper wrote the day after the change
of government in Germany. It described Hitler as a man of hate and
demagoguery who would 'tear Jews out by their roots.' " (p 17)
--
"More than anything else, though, the rise of the Nazis was seen as
confirming the historical prognosis of Zionist ideology. 'Hapoel Hatsair'
described the nazi persecution of the Jews as 'punishment for their having
tried to integrate into German society instead of leaving for Palestine
while it was still possible to do so.' Now they would have to run in a
panic 'like mice in flight', the paper said. 'The Jews of Germany are being
persecuted now not despite their efforts to be part of their country but
because of those efforts.' The holocaust would later be the primary
argument fro the establishment of the State of Israel and for its wars of
survival." (p. 18)
--
"Ben-Gurion hoped that the Nazis victory would become 'a fertile force' for
Zionism." (p. 18) "The 'haavara' ('transfer') agreement--the Hebrew term
was used in the Nazi documents as well--was based on the complementary
interests of the German government and the Zionist movement: the Nazis
wanted the Jews out of Germany; the Zionists wanted them to come to
Palestine. But there was no such mutuality of interests between the
Zionists and German Jewry. Most German Jews would have preferred to stay in
their country. The tension between the interests of the 'yishuv' [Jewish
community in Palestine] (and, in time, the State of Israel) and those of
world Jewry was to become a central motif in the story of the Israelis'
attitude to the Holocaust." (p.20)
--
"The revisionist right, by contrast, had long been sympathetic to Benito
Mussolini's Fascism and now and then even to Adolf Hitler's
Naziism--except, of course, his anti-Semitism. Betar, Jabotinsky's youth
movement, fostered classic Fascist ideas and forms. In 1928, Abba Ahimeir,
a well-known Revisionist journalist, had a regular column, 'From the
Notebook of a Fascist', in the newspaper 'Doar Hayom'. In anticipation of
Jabotinsky's arrival in Palestine, he wrote an article titled 'On the
Arrival of Our Duce' " (p. 23)
--
"Four years later, in early 1932, Ahimeir was among those brought to trial
for disrupting a public lecvture at Hebrew University. The incident and the
resulting trial are worthy of note only because of a declaration by defense
attorney Zvi Eliahu Cohen in response to a speech by the prosecutor
comparing the disruption of the lecture with the Nazi disturbances in
Germany. 'The comment on the Nazis', Cohen said, 'went too far. Were it not
for Hitler's anti-Semitism, we would not oppose his ideology. Hitler saved
Germany.' This was not an unconsidered outburst; the REvisionist paper
'Hazit Haam' praised Cohen's 'brilliant speech.' " (p. 23)
--
"...[from Hazit Haam] 'Social Democrats of all stripes believe that
Hitler's movement is an empty shell.', the newspaper explained, but 'we
believe that there is both a shell and a kernel. The anti-Semitic shell is
to be discarded, but not the anti-Marxist kernel. The Revisionists, the
newspaper wrote, would fight the Nazis only to the extent that they were
anti-Semites." (p. 23)
--
"The haavara agreement was a central issue in the elections in the summer
of 1933 for representatives to the Eighteenth Zionist Congress. The
Revisionists rejected [in a turnabout] any contact with Nazi Germany. It
was inconsistent with the honor of the Jewish people, they said; Jabotinsky
declared it 'ignoble, disgraceful and contemptible'. The Revisionist press
now castigated the Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency as 'Hitler's
allies', people 'who have trampled roughshod on Jewish honor, on Jewish
conscience, and on Jewish ethics...dark characters who have come to trade
on the troubles of the Jews and on the land of Israel...low types who have
accepted the role of Hitler's agents in Palestine and in the entire Near
East...traitors...deceivers who lust after Hitler's government.' " (p. 24)
--
"After reading the Nazi Party newspaper, Ben-Gurion wrote, it seemed to him
that he was reading the words of Zeev Jabotinsky in Doar Hayom: 'the same
thing, the same style, and the same spirit.' " (p. 24)
--
"In his impassioned speech, Ben-Gurion called for the rescue of German
Jewry, 'a tribe of Israel', and their transfer to Palestine, rather than
action against Hitler. ' I do not believe that we can oust him and I am not
interested in anything other than saving these 500,000 Jews,' he said.
Ben-Gurion saw the debate between rescue and boycott as a debate between
Zionism and assimilation, between the nationalist interests of Jewish
settlement in Palestine and the international war against anti-Semitism.
The assumption imnplicit in his words was that the war against
anti-Semitism was not a part of the Zionist mission." (pp. 24-25)
--
"To make his point, Ben-Gurion used harsh language that would in time be
employed by anti-Zionists: 'If I knew that it was possible to save all the
children in Germany by transporting them to England, but only half of them
by transporting them to Palestine, I would choose the second--because we
face not only the reckoning of those children, but the historical reckoning
of the Jewish people.' In the wake of the Kristallnacht pogroms, Ben-Gurion
commented that the 'human conscience' might bring various countries to open
their doors to Jewish refugees from Germany. He saw this as a threat and
warned: 'Zionism is in danger.' " (p 28)
--
"Nevertheless, the pragmatists were convinced that the boycott of Germany
could not advance the interests of Palestine, that their ends could best be
accomplished through contact with the Nazis. Thus the leaders sought to
keep relations with Nazi Germany as normal as possible: Two months after
Hitler came to power the Jewish Agency executive in Jerusalem had sent a
telegram straight to the Fuhrer in Berlin, assuring him that the yishuv had
not declared a boycott against his country; the telegram was sent at the
request of German Jewry in the hope of halting their persecution, but it
reflected the Jewish Agency's inclination to maintain correct relations
with the Nazi Government. Many years later, Menachem Begin revealed that
the Zionist Organization had sent hitler a cable of condolence on the death
of President Hindenburg." (p. 29)
--
"Traveling on to Cairo, he [Eichmann] summoned a Jew from Jerusalem, one
Fiebl Folkes. A report from Eichmann wrote of his trip and the record of
his interrogation by the Israeli police decades later indicate[s] that
Folkes was a member of the Haganah--the clandestine Jewish defense
force--and a Nazi agent. On one occasion he even met with Eichmann in
Berlin. The Nazis paid him for his information, mostly rather general
political and economic evaluations. Among other things, Eichmann quoted
Folkes to the effect that Zionist leaders were pleased by the persecution
of German Jewry, since it would encourage immigration to Palestine." (p.
30)
--
"Ironically the Revisionists also had fairly wide-ranging links with the
Nazis. The Betar youth movement was active in Berlin and several other
German cities. About half a year before the Nazis came to power, the
movement's leadership distributed a memorandum to its members that was both
commonsensical and cautious. The Nazis should be treated politely and with
reserve, the memorandum instructed. Whenever Betar members were in public,
they should remain quiet and refrain from vocal debates and critical
comments. Under no circumstances should anyone say anything that could be
interpreted as an insult to the German people, to its institutions, or to
its prevailing ideology.
--
The Nazis allowed Betar to continue its activities--meetings, conventions,
summer camps hikes, sports, sailing, and agricultural training. Members
were allowed to wear their uniforms, which included brown shirts, and they
were allowed to publish mimeographed pamphlets, including Zionist articles
in a nationalistic, para-Fascist tone, in the spirit of the times. The
German Betar pamphlets focused on events in Palestine, and their exuberant
nationalism targeted the British, the Arabs, and the Zionist left. The
contained no references to the political situation in Germany. With this
exception, they were similar to the nationalist German youth publications,
including those published by the Nazis. Jabotinsky decried the influence
Hitlerism was having on the members of Betar." (pp. 32)
--
In the second half of 1940, a few members of the Irgun Zvai Leumi (National
Military Organization)--the anti-British terrorist group sponsored by the
Revisionists and known by its acronym Etzel, and to the British simply as
the Irgun--made contact with representatives of Fascist Italy, offering to
cooperate against the British. Soon the Etzel split, and the group headed
by Avraham "Yair" Stern formed itself into the Lehi (from the initials of
its Hebrew name, Lohamei Herut Yisrael--Fighters for the Freedom of
Israel), also known as the Stern Gang. A representative of this group met
with a German foreign ministry official and offered to help Nazi Germany in
its war against the British. The Germans understood that the group aimed to
establish an independent state based on the totalitarian principles of the
Fascist and Nazi regimes. Many years after he tried to forge this lik with
Nazis, a former Lehi leader explained what had guided his men at the time:
'Our obligation was to fight the enemy. We were justified in taking aid
from the Nazi oppressor, who was in this case the enemy of our enemy--the
British.' " (p. 33)
--
"The question was what to do with those refugees who were neither Zionist
nor fit to help build the new society in Palestine. 'Only God knows how the
poor little land of Israel can take in this stream of people and emerge
with a healthy social structure', Chaim Weizmann wrote. The German
Immigrants Association complained that the Jewish Agency's representatives
in Berlin were giving immigration certificates to invalids. ' The human
material [direct quote and their words] coming from Germany is getting
worse and worse', the association charged after almost a year of Nazi rule.
'They are not able and not willing to work, and they need social
assistance.' A year later the association sent to Berlin a list of names of
people who should not have been sent. Henrietta Szold, who headed the
Jewish Agency's social-work division, also frequently protested about the
sick and needy among the immigrants. From time to time Szold demanded that
certain of such 'cases' be returned to Nazi Germany so that they would not
be a burden on the yishuv." (p. 43)
--
"In 1937 the Joint Distribution Committee, an American organization that
assisted needy Jews, negotiated with the German authorities for the release
of 120 Jewish prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp. 'I am not so
sure that from a political point of view it is desirable that all those
released come to Palestine', a Jewish Agency official wrote to one of his
colleagues. Most were not Zionists; and there may even have been Communists
among them." (pp 43-44)
--
"Senator [Werner Senator of the Jewish Agency] who was active in bringing
German Jews to Palestine, warned the Jewish Agency office in Berlin that if
it did not improve the quality of the 'human material' it was sending, the
agency was liable to cut back the number of certificates set aside for the
German capital. The immigrants from Germany enjoyed all sorts of special
benefits, Senator wrote. They received immigration certificates after only
six months of agricultural training, while in other countries up to two
years was required. Requests for family reunification from Germans with
relatives in Palestine were also quickly approved. All this required
special attention to the quality of immigrants, who should be true
pioneers. Senator was not referring to occasional errors in judgment, he
assured his colleagues; he was talking about a trend. More and more '
welfare cases' were arriving from Germany, as well as too many 'businessmen
with children' rather than single men and women. At one point it was
decided that candidates above the age of thirty-five would receive
immigration certificates 'only if there is no reason to believe that they
might become a burden here.' Accordingly they had to have a profession.
'Anyone who was a merchant', the decision stated, or of similar employment,
will not receive a certificate under any circumstances, except in the case
of veteran Zionists.' This was in 1935. ' In days of plenty, it was
possible to handle this material [emphasis added]' , explained Yitzhak
Gruenbaum. 'In days of shortages and unemployment, this material [emphasis
added] will cause us many problems...We must be allowed to choose from
among the refugees those worthy of immigration and not accept them all.' "
(p. 44) Footnote: "In 1939 the world press followed the drama of the St
Louis, a boat carrying several hundred Jewish refugees from Germany. No
country would give them asylum. The Joint Distribution Committee asked the
Jewish Agency to allot the passengers several hundred immigration
certificates from the quota. The Jewish Agency refused. In the end the
refugees were allowed into Antwerp. [note where many were exterminated
after the takeover of Belgium by the Nazis.]. (p. 44)
--
" German Jews who were given immigration permits 'merely as refugees' were
also considered 'undesirable human material' by Eliahu Dobkin, a Mapai
member of the Jewish Agency executive. 'I understand very well the special
situation in which the overseas institutions dealing with German refugees
find themselves, but I would like to believe that you would agree with me
that we must approach this question not from a philanthropic point of view
but from the point of view of the country's needs', Dobkin wrote to one of
his colleagues. 'My opinion is that from among the refugees we must bring
only those who meet this condition.' Leaders of the German immigrants
agreed. 'As I see it, 90 percent of them are not indispensible here', one
of them wrote to another." (pp 44-45)
--
"It was an incomparably cruel reality: every Jew who received an
immigration certificate during those years lived in Palestine knowing that
some other Jew who had not received that certificate had been murdered.
This was the basis for the sense of guilt that would later trouble so many
Israelis who escaped the Holocaust." (p 45)
--
>From Zionism in the Age of the Dictators by Lenni Brenner:
--
In June of 1895, the first entry into his new journal on Zionism, Theodor
Hertzl wrote: "In Paris, as I have said, I achieved a freer attitude toward
anti-Semitism, which I now began to understand historically and to pardon.
Above all, I recognized the emptiness and futility of trying to 'combat'
anti-Semitism."
--
To be a Good Zionist one must be Somewhat of an Anti-Semite: Although blut
was a recurrent theme in pre-Holocaust Zionist literature, it was not as
central to its message as boden. As long as America's shores remained open,
Europe's Jews asked: if anti-Semitism could not be fought on its home
ground, why should they not just follow the crowd to America? The Zionist
response was double-barrelled: anti-Semitism would accompany the Jews
wherever they went and, what was more, it was the Jews who had created
anti-Semitism by their own characteristics. The root cause of
anti-Semitism, Zionists insisted, was the Jews' exile existence. Jews lived
parasitically off their 'hosts'...
--
These tenets combined were known as 'shelilat ha'galut (the Negation of the
Diaspora), and were held by the entire spectrum of Zionists who varied only
on matters of detail. They were argued vigorously in the Zionist press,
where the distinctive quality of many articles was their hostility to the
entire Jewish people. Anyone reading these pieces without knowing their
source would have automatically assumed that they came from the
Anti-Semitic press. The Weltanschauung of the youth organization Hashomer
Hatzair (Young Watchmen), originally composed in 1917, but republished
again as late as 1936, was typical of these effusions: The Jew is a
caricature of a normal, natural human being, both pysically and
spiritually. As an individual in society he revolts and throws off the
harness of social obligations, knows no order nor discipline. (pp22-23)
--
Similarly, in 1935 an American Ben Frommer, a writer for the ultra-right
Zionist-Revisionists, could declare of no less than 16 million of his
fellow Jews that: The fact is undeniable that the Jews collectively are
unhealthy and neurotic. Those professional Jews who, wounded to the quick,
igdignantly deny this truth are the greatest enemies of their race, for
they thereby lead them to search for false solutions, or at most
palliatives." (p. 23)
--
And: In 1925 the most vehement protagonist of total abstentionism, Jcob
Klatzkin, the co-editor of the massive "Encyclopedia Judaica", laid down
the full implications of the Zionist approach to anti-Semitism: "If we do
not admit the rightfulness of antisemitism, we deny the rightfulness of our
own nationalism. If our people is deserving and willing to live its own
national life, then it is an alien body thrust into the nations among whom
it lives, an alien body that insists on its own distinctive identity,
reducing the domain of their life. It is right therefore, that they should
fight against us for their national integrity...Instead of establishing
societies for defense against antisemites, who want to reduce our rights,
we should establish societies for defense against our friends who desire to
defend our rights." (p. 30)
