Former Israeli ambassador to the United States, Danny Ayalon, expressed his anger and dismay at the US Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ reference to Israel’s secret nuclear programs in one of his recent speeches. Ayalon told Israeli TV that the new defense secretary’s reference might have been a slip of the tongue, in an apparent bid to hoodwink the world to believe that Israel did not have any secret nuclear agenda. The former ambassador also believed that the US owed an explanation to Israel in the matter. He said that it is not the business of the US to clear the ambiguity over Israel’s secret programs. Like any other hawkish Israeli leader, Ayalon thinks that the new defense secretary has committed a huge mistake because he spoke as though he did not know that no one, even the US administration, has the right to criticize Israel’s policies.
It has been the entrenched policy of succeeding US administrations to cover up all the wrongs and violations committed by Israel. That is, obviously, the only explanation for the US opposition to Iran’s nuke programs. The US is also provoked by Iran hosting a conference on the Holocaust that took place during World War II. The Iranian president, like some Western historians, calls the Holocaust a myth invented by the Western leaders to remove the Jewish ghettos from their midst and plant them in the heartland of the Arabs. The conference is focusing on the evidence that would uncover the falseness of the claims made about the number of Jews persecuted in the Holocaust, which is generally put at 6 million.
While the US described, largely as a result of Israeli prodding, the plan for the conference as evil, Germany which is still under the spell of Zionist terror, has expressed its worry over Iran’s move.
Western leaders and intellectuals consider any criticism of Zionist or Israeli aggressions as a heinous crime against humanity and civilization. On the other hand the same leaders and intellectuals consider any criticism of the lampooning and distorting of the image of the Holy Prophet of Islam, who is held in utmost awe by the millions the world over, as an outrage against Western freedom of expression. It is hard to understand why the deliberate attempts to injure the sentiments of millions of Muslims are ignored in the name of “freedom of expression” while uttering a word of criticism against the Jews or Zionism is considered “evil.”
I would assert that the Holocaust is a historical lie. It was impossible to have a 6 million strong Jewish population in Germany alone when the total Jewish population in the world did not exceed 10 million at the time. The Zionist claim of 6 million Jewish victims has been challenged by several historians. It was explained as a myth created to reinforce the attempt to found the state of Israel in Palestine.
It was the Westerners who persecuted the Jews over the centuries. European history attests to this sad fact. On the other hand, Arabs’ and Muslims’ hands have never been tainted with Jewish blood. Islamic history only carries instances of tolerant coexistence with Jewish communities.
In order to escape being the victims of massacres and pogroms organized by the Jewish militias with the tacit approval of the British, the Palestinians had to flee from their homesteads and farms, seeking refuge in distant lands. With the spawning of the Holocaust myth, the West achieved two of its secret designs — getting the Jews away from their midst and establishing an anti-Islamic Western nation in the midst of Arab countries.
It is unfortunate that Israel poses to be an entity above every international law. Israel should not be above the law. Every free man has the right to criticize any Israeli policy or move in violation of international law and the norms of justice. If Israel wants to command respect from others, it should first respect the sentiments of others and follow international conventions and laws.
