[Marxism] "They" are at it again

["Gilles d'Aymery" <aymery@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(Swans - March 13, 2006)  THEY ARE AT IT AGAIN. According to the story
line in some quarters, right and left, not only did Israelis foment 9/11
or knew about the attack and kept silent, but they then incited the U.S.
to launch Gulf War II on their behalf. Now, the story goes, the USA is
readying its formidable military forces to launch "Another War for
Israel," this time against Iran. That is, of course, if you believe and
religiously follow the Paleolithic nutcracker at Antiwar.com. Israelis,
with their fifth column (the Jewish lobby), truth be told, control the US
government, the world, and even the heavens. Remember, in this crowd, Mr.
Bush cozily resides in Ariel Sharon's pocket as in lies, vegetable-like,
in a hospital.

JOINING THE FRAY, self-defined leftist radicals don't miss a chance to
concur in seeing Israeli hidden hands and dirty tricks behind another
crisis, that of the racist caricatures published by the Danish
reactionary publication, Jyllands-Posten. In short, according to the
authors of "The Caricatures in Middle East Politics," the publication of
these xenophobic caricatures was a covert operation concocted by Mossad,
the Israeli secret service, "to silence [Iraq] war critics and heighten
animosities to the Islamists/Arabs in general and Iran in particular."
Then the plot thickens. As the "initial response from the Islamic
countries however was limited," the Mossad unleashed its trump card, the
sayanim: "By early January 2006, Mossad 'Katsas' (Hebrew for case
officers) activated sayanim (volunteer Jewish collaborators outside of
Israel) throughout Western and Eastern European media to simultaneously
reproduce the cartoons on Feb. 1 and 2, 1006 [sic]." And this, friends,
"rapidly provoked the subsequent massive escalation, doubtlessly aided by
covert Mossad operatives among Arab populations."

FUNNY ME, who had thought that the republications of these caricatures in
mostly European media were a direct reaction to the moderately violent,
or intense (compared to Fallujah, Abu Ghraib, etc.), demonstrations in
various Middle Eastern countries -- that is, the republications occurred
after the fire had started, not before. But, hey, what do I know about
timelines and how can one dispute the bona fide and deep insights of a
"genuine revolutionary" such as James Petras?

LET'S SUMMARIZE: Maybe "they" knew, or maybe "they" did it (9/11). On
"their" behalf, the USA and their British lackeys invaded and occupied
Iraq, and "they" manipulated the US and British governments to do so
through lies and disinformation. "They" are now driving the U.S. to
attack Iran, on "their" behalf again. Perhaps it'll begin with UN
sanctions obligingly voted for by France and England (funny again, I
thought the Europeans in their majority were highly critical of, and
opposed to, "their" treatment of the Palestinians in the Occupied
Territories -- but then, once more, what do I know?), but "they" will
manage, after an oh-so-unmistakable campaign by "their" human assets (the
sayanim) to get the U.S. to nuke Iran. And, as always, the Western media
marches along the lines "they" draw.

MY, MY, MY, has Swans been infiltrated and subjugated by a sayan, too? --
you know, this "huge world-wide network of Jews in strategic or useful
places (real estate, mass media, finance, car dealerships etc...)" (cf.
Petras, et al.) It would be funny, almost laughable, like those
caricatures -- ha, ha, ha, let's drink another one... -- if it were not
so detrimental to those of us who are highly critical of Israel's
appalling treatment of the Palestinians, and who genuinely struggle to
find a rational and reasonable outcome to this tragedy (the two-state
solution).

JAMES PETRAS, PLEASE JOIN JUSTIN RAIMONDO on the bandwagon of Pat
Robertson and the fundies out there. You people.... err, don't let me get
personal here... These people, regurgitating several centuries of
Judeophobia, at an historical time when anti-Semitism is relatively bland
and low, do a tremendous disservice to the cause of peace and justice
with their recurring fifth column allegations. Perhaps they need a
refresher course and should go browse the Working Definition of Anti-
Semitism (PDF file) that the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and
Xenophobia (EUMC) of the European Union developed in 2005. Among various
definitions, and in relation to the "sayanim," they'll read: "Accusing
Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged
priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own
nations." Or, who knows, they'd rather keep that kind of filthy company --
 just one example of the many sites out there that peddle this type of
filth.
