The people of France have sent an important message to the world by electing the traditionalist leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen to the second round of the French presidential elections. It was not just a proof of general dissatisfaction, as The New York Times claimed. The first round occurred while the Jewish troops besieged the Church of the Nativity, starved nuns, shot priests, and despoiled the land of Christ. Israeli bulldozers worked around the clock covering mass graves of their innocent victims in the Jenin refugee camp, Jewish soldiers destroyed churches and mosques in Nablus while 150,000 Jews marched in Paris and elsewhere, supporting the genocide in Palestine. Waving Israeli flags and draped in the blue and white colors of their national banner (the tricolor is dropped and forgotten), the Jews marched from the Place de la Republique to the Place de la Bastille in Paris, chanting in French and Hebrew and carrying signs that read ÒYesterday New York, today Jerusalem, tomorrow Paris.Ó
TodayÕs Jerusalem is an unhappy city, its non-Jewish majority dispossessed, uprooted, pushed into ghetto and controlled by the brutal Jewish border police. TodayÕs Jerusalem has the most advanced torture facilities, and there, thousands of kidnapped Palestinians are subjected to electric shocks, beating and humiliation. TodayÕs Jerusalem is a place where only Jews can move freely and enjoy the fruits of civilization. Should it be a model for tomorrowÕs Paris? Mais non, the people of France had experienced the German Nazi conquest in the 1940s, and they did not want to try the Judeo-Nazi occupation.
That was the main message sent by the French voter. We should thank Gen. Ariel SharonÕs brutality and ill-conceived solidarity of Jews in France with the genocidaire for this result. Until now, the Jews were divided in their tasks and purposes. In Palestine, they created a toxic, ferociously nationalist and religiously fanatic entity based on Adolf HitlerÕs Nuremberg laws. Elsewhere, in France as well as in Britain, they promoted the pseudo-liberal paradigm of dismantling European national and cultural content in favor of the Judeo-American spirit. In Palestine, they shot at the church; in France, they undermined it by subterfuge.
If the Jews would have sense, they would keep the inner dialectical unity of their pincer-movement attack as their best guarded secret. But they were inebriated by their successes. The spiritual teacher of Sephardic Jews, Obadiah Joseph, ruled that Jews should not show their ascendancy in the world until they would be able to destroy the Christian churches in the holy land. Now, with the Nativity besieged, they apparently felt the condition is fulfilled. Jews became united to an extent unknown since the days of Christ, and united by a common will, single purpose and a feeling of arriving to the pinnacle of power. Intoxication of power and unity caused the usually cautious people to drop masks, to leave pretenses. This new openness provided us with a previously unheard-of insight into the soul of the Jews and their supporters.
An authentic Jewish voice, Ron Grossman of Chicago Tribune wrote, ÒAs a self-proclaimed humanist, I ought to recoil in horror from the thought of tanks rumbling through a city, anybodyÕs city. My head should hang in sorrow at televised images of street fighting (rather, massacres) in Bethlehem and Ramallah. But here is a hint: DonÕt lecture or preach to us. Forget about appealing to our better selves.Ó
Please note this plural ÒusÓ before denying the obvious. The Jews do not hide anymore behind the useful but dated device of ÒAmericans, French or British citizens of Jewish faith.Ó It is again The Jews, a single body with a single mind. Forget about appealing to their better selves, as they have not got any. ÒThe better selvesÓ were just a device.
ÒNo one can express the aspirations of most Israelis like the prime minister. This is not a war that was waged by Sharon, the Òwarmonger,Ó this is the war of all of us,Ó reports Gideon Levy, a man of heart and conscience, who was recently banned from the pages of the ÒliberalÓ Haaretz. (I was banned 10 years ago. Welcome to the club, Gideon!) ÒIt will also be very difficult to blame Sharon for the consequences of the war, in the light of the sweeping support he has been given by the majority of Israelis. Nearly 30,000 men were mobilized and they reported for duty as one man, making the refusal movement, with 21 refuseniks currently in jail, irrelevant.Ó
The Jews abroad were just as awful as those in Palestine. Professor David D. Perlmutter wrote in the Los Angeles Times: ÒI daydream Ñ if only! If in 1948, 1956, 1967 or 1973 Israel had acted just a bit like the Third Reich, then today Israelis would shop, eat pizza, marry and celebrate the holy days unmolested. And of course Jews would have that Gulf oil.Ó
Witty if snobbish Taki of the British weekly Spectator contributed the following anecdotal evidence of the new Jewish vehemence and single-mindedness: ÒOn Easter Sunday, during lunch, the richest woman in Israel, Irit Lando, suddenly burst into my house and began to harangue my friends and family about Adam Shapiro. Despite the fact sheÕs one of my wifeÕs oldest friends and was invited to drop in after lunch, I was extremely annoyed. I reminded Irit that my house was not Israeli occupied territory; that it was Easter; and knowing how I feel about the plight of the Palestinians, she should change the subject. Which she did, turning on the press, instead, and how they gave publicity to that traitor Adam Shapiro.Ó
As few mavericks of Jewish origin like Adam Shapiro or marvelous Jennifer Loewenstein became increasingly marginalized, the Jews en masse rally to support Sharon and Israel. From Moscow to Brooklyn, from Marseille to Hampstead, the Jews speak in one voice. ÒWe Are One,Ó proclaimed the headline of the Jewish Week. This vision of united, ready for the kill, Jewry could not but scare the French voter, and any thinking man. Le Pen was probably the only French politician totally opposed by the Jews.
The French and the west European Left should learn the lesson before it is too late. Their liaison with the Jews became a liability and a source of embarrassment. Historically it was probably justified, but not any more. Even the Jewish stranglehold on media can not deliver the electoral goods. Instead of supporting Jewish agenda, the Left should compete with the Right by addressing problems of working class in the country and of the income disparity on the global scale. There should be no more immigration, and this task calls to stop the main creator of immigration, the unfair Judeo-American globalization and Bush and BlairÕ s war against Islam. In the forthcoming May elections in the UK, the Left should give the boot to Michael LevyÕs protege Tony Blair, and turn to the tradition of Michael Foot.
The electoral success of Le Pen could signify the beginning of the end of the Jewish post-war ascendancy. Inverting the slogan of French Jews, we say, ÒYesterday Paris, Today Washington, and Tomorrow Jerusalem.Ó
