Sometime ago I described the war in Palestine as a creeping genocide. Now this process speeds up. I doubt it could be different, as the Jewish paradigm of necessity causes genocide and transfer of population. Whenever this paradigm raises, genocide and transfer follows. The predominantly Jewish governments of post-war Poland and Czechoslovakia carried out genocidal transfers of ethnic German groups in 1945. Heavily Jewish government of revolutionary Hungary in 1919 massacred its opponents on a huge scale. Jews were prominent in Ataturk’s government when the Greeks were massacred in Smyrna. This paradigm does not need ethnic Jews: Nazi Germany applied its racist ideas against Jews by using the Judaic paradigm of racial purity and superiority.
There is a difference: Since 1945, Germans atone for committed atrocities. Their remorse broke their will. But there is little remorse among the Jews for the transfers and massacres. John Sack, an American Jewish writer, described Jewish participation in the post-1945 atrocities in his book An Eye for an Eye. This publication could become a beginning of a catharsis, of a deep regret and remorse. Instead, the book was banned and Sack became a non-person. Strange behavior of Benny Morris, the Israeli New Historian, bewildered many friends: How come the man who described the Palestinian Holocaust of 1948, Al-Naqbah, became a spokesman against the Palestinian cause? There was no reason to wonder: Killing and transferring the Gentiles is not a cause to regret according to the Jewish paradigm of superiority.
It is not strange that this archaic paradigm became so prominent in the Jewish state. A few days ago, Israeli TV carried out a lively discussion on advantages of transfer. Not everybody supported the notion, but the transfer supporters were not ostracized. They sat and called for mass murder and expulsion with smug smiles, citing the previous transfers as a proof of their legitimacy. The most frightening piece of today’s news was the news as broadcasted by Israel and slavishly repeated by CNN and Jewish-owned media elsewhere. The leading item referred to death of an Israeli sergeant, followed by a casual mentioning of fifty killed Palestinians.
How can it be? Israelis are not too bad, nor are other Jews. Even Sharon looks like a huggable teddy bear, said Gen. Zinni. How our basically nice folks are able to commit horrible crimes and still remain rather nice? This paradox is rooted in an artificial chasm between a Jew and a non-Jew in the Jewish mind.
This notion sits in the subconscious levels of many Jews, good and bad alike.
While evil Jews of Sharon’s kin slaughter Gentiles without slightest remorse, many good Jews object to Sharon’s actions as they would object to cruel treatment of animals. Actually, on the walls of Tel Aviv houses there are more posters protesting inhuman feeding of geese than deploring mass murder of Goyiim.
Talmud preaches compassion to animals. But there is a profound lack of compassion toward non-Jews. They are frequently compared to animals, but while there is a duty to save an endangered animal, there is no obligation to save a Gentile. This paradox of compassion to animals and lack of feeling toward Gentiles causes many abnormalities of Jewish outlook.
Despite good feeling toward animals, people do not hesitate to sell them, slaughter them, separate them and move them whenever it is deemed necessary. We do not consider it a sin or an objectionable behavior. Lady Macbeth lost her sleep because of the shed blood, but a person with a traditional Jewish outlook would not feel bad at all. He would remain his cheerful self, after killing Palestinian peasants in Kafr Kassem in 1956, or Egyptian POWs in 1967, or indeed, Russian and Hungarian gentry in 1920, Germans and Poles in 1945, Iraqis and Afghanis in 2002.
Such a person would not leave an impression of homicidal mania, because he would consider himself a perfectly sound man. I have met many professional killers and torturers in Israel, and none of them have experienced pangs of conscience. An old judge of the High Court, Moshe Landoi, permitted moderate torture of detained Goyiim, but their cries did not disturb his sleep. He is still honored by his colleagues and the media. In an interview, a Shabak official Ehud Yatom boasted he smashed a Palestinian prisoner’s head with a stone. He could not comprehend why somebody would find it objectionable, and as a matter of fact, when his carrier suffered a minor setback, he was supported by many MPs and by Israeli public.
This deep conviction in one’s own righteousness makes us Jews so unusual. It also makes the job of good Jews more difficult. We do not cause enough annoyance. Jewish Nazis are quite tolerant toward Jewish liberals: The parties have a strained but comfortable relationship of a hunter and vegetarian, not a hunter and a hunted one. Rare Jewish radicals found on the Al-Awdah and suchlike groups break the complacent mold when they reject the very idea of a Jewish state and of the eternal People of Israel.
The peculiar feeling toward a non-Jew is manifested in the Jewish endogamy, tradition of marriage within the creed. In Talmud, marriage to a Gentile equals bestiality. Even in 20th century, the Jewish writer Sholom Aleichem describes his good Jew, Tevie the Milkman (the Fiddler on the Roof), doing full mourning rites for his daughter who have been married to a Gentile.
Just last year, Mortimer Zuckerman, the owner of many American newspapers, divorced his Gentile wife in order to be elevated to the top of the US Jewish community. Jews, who married outside the creed usually break with the organized Jewry, part with racism and join the human race.
Children of mixed marriages are often misled as to their status vis-a -vis the Jewish community. Whatever they are being told by their well-meaning parents, they are often considered as impure bastards and unfit for important positions in the community. The community will use them, abuse them and discard them. This pattern is seen in Israel, where the children of mixed marriages serve in the army but are buried outside the fence if they die for the Jewish state.
It would be better for them, while having a moderate interest in their origin, to throw their lot with the folks that will accept them fully.
The present rise of the Jewish paradigm is not the first one. It is similar to Freddy of the Elm Street Horror movie: Whenever this concept materializes, it causes genocide. Biblical total genocide of Joshua served as a model for genocidal Hasmoneans, mass murders of Bar Kochba led to slaughter of gentiles in Yemen and Palestine, Cyprus and Alexandria. They were exceeded by large-scale genocide practiced by the Jewish rulers of Khazaria. The genocide of Palestinians will not be forgotten and it will cause the genocide of Jews. That is why I believe the bloodthirsty specter of a Jewish state should be laid to rest.
We can offer a differing paradigm, that of equality. After all, the real chasm is not between the Arab and the Jew; it is between ZioNazis and the rest of us. Present Israeli leaders committed horrible war crimes and lost the last vestige of their legitimacy. There is an urgent need to establish a new legitimate leadership for the whole of Palestine, following the example of South African ANC, a leadership comprising all religious and ethnic communities of Palestine, a leadership that will call the citizens to take arms against the bloody dictator Sharon.
