WHO LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG ?.... a controversy from the internet .....
By Israel Shamir

THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF THE JEWISH POST-WAR ASCENDANCY?

The people of France have sent an important message to the world, by electing the traditionalist leader, Jean-Mari le Pen to the second round of the French presidential elections. It was not just a proof of general dissatisfaction, as NY Times claimed.
The first round occurred while the Jewish troops besieged the Church of 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, shot at the Holy Virgin in Bethlehem, while one hundred fifty thousand Jews marched in Paris and elsewhere, supporting the genocide in Palestine. Waving Israeli flags and draped in the blue and white colours of their national banner (the tricolour is dropped and forgotten), the Jews marched from the Place de la République to the Place de la Bastille in Paris, chanting in French and Hebrew and carrying signs that read "Yesterday New York, today Jerusalem, tomorrow Paris.”
Today’s Jerusalem is an unhappy city, its non-Jewish majority dispossessed, uprooted, pushed into ghetto and controlled by the brutal Jewish Border Police. Today’s Jerusalem has the most advanced torture facilities, and there, thousands of kidnapped Palestinians are subjected to electric chocks, beating and humiliation.Today’s Jerusalem is a place where only Jews can move freely and enjoy the fruits of civilisation. Should it be a model for tomorrow’s Paris? Mais non, the people of France had experienced the German Nazi conquest in 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 General Sharon’s brutality and ill-conceived solidarity of Jews in France with the génocidaire 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 Hitler’s Nuremberg Laws. Elsewhere, in France as well as in Britain, they promoted the pseudo-liberal paradigm of dismantling European national and cultural content in favour of the Judeo-American spirit. In Palestine, they shot at the church; in France, they undermined it by subterfuge. One law for themselves: extreme right wing nationalism of
Sharon. Another law for the goyiim: liberal New Labour of Tony Blair.
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, Rabbi 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 pretences. It seems the Jews call out ‘Kill him’, as two thousand years ago. 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[i] wrote, “As a self-proclaimed humanist, I ought to recoil in horror from the thought of tanks rumbling through a city, anybody's city. My head should hang in sorrow at televised images of street fighting (rather, massacres - ISH)
in Bethlehem and Ramallah. But here is a hint: Don't lecture or preach to us. Forget about appealing to our better selves”.
Please note this plural ‘us’ before denying the obvious. The Jews do not hide anymore behind the useful but dated device of “Americans, French or British citizens of Jewish faith”. 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. ‘The better selves’ were just a device. “No one can express the aspirations of most Israelis like the prime minister. This is not a war that was waged by Sharon, the "warmonger," this is the war of all of us”, reports Gideon Levy, a man of heart and conscience, who was recently banned from the pages of the ‘liberal’ Haaretz. (I was banned ten years ago. Welcome to the club, Gideon!) “It 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”.

The Jews abroad were just as awful as those in Palestine. Professor David D. Perlmutter wrote in LA Times, "I daydream--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, not sheiks, would have that Gulf oil". Witty if snobbish Taki of the British weekly Spectator contributed the following anecdotal evidence of the new Jewish vehemence and single-mindedness: “On 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 she's one of my wife's 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 godawful traitor Adam Shapiro”.
As few mavericks of Jewish origin like Adam Shapiro or marvellous 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. WE ARE ONE, 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 globalisation and Bush and Blair’ s War against Islam. In the forthcoming May elections in the UK, the Left should give the boot to Michael Levy’s protégé 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, "Yesterday Paris, Today Washington, and Tomorrow Jerusalem".

Comment by Hal Womack:

Israel Shamir's essays always deserve respectful attention and often agreement. Sometimes, however, he swings wild .
Let us briefly consider Shamir's following propositions:
"{A} There should be no more immigration, and {B} this task calls to stop the main creator of immigration, the unfair Judeo-American globalisation and {C} Bush and Blair's War against Islam."

Immigration from the poor & often colored {Are Arabs "white" ?} countries to the rich white [or formerly white-dominated] ones such as the USA & France certainly a critical issue. As an elderly poor white normal alias "gentile" American taxi driver, I personally have a worm's-eye view, so to
speak, of the economic crunch.
I learned from Lyndon Johnson's war against Vietnam, however, to side with parties to a dispute on the basis of justice rather than of their skin color or nationality.
Shamir's blanket Anti-immigration Prop A above, sides with white supremacists against the immense majority of humanity and also against the policies of institutions such as the Catholic Church which have interests wider than country clubs. In view of their blatantly subsidized preferences in recent decades past I could immediately agree to suspending further _Jewish_
immigration to the US. But totally to wall out all Mexicans, Jordanians, Brazilians, Nigerians, Chinese, etc? That seems to me rash. Besides, taking an anti-immigrant stance foolishly tends to push the industrious colored folk into the manipulative arms of the Jew-jingos, a foolish strategy at best.
Rather than Shamir's Prop A, I reply that we should stop war crimes. Furthermore, in order to be thorough-going about it, we should arrest all of the perpetrators thereof who are still competent to stand trial. Those who are exempt from prosecution by reason of old age or disability we should strip of all their assets above the level of life-support and clearly designate as proscribed persons, as in the jail ward of a hospital. War crimes per se have come into existence mainly since the Nuremburg Trials. Considering that all of the US wars since 1945 have been cases of capital aggression according to both world and US positive law and that the same applies also to the tiny, obnoxious, deadly fake-state of Israel, it manifestly follows that "we" --whoever "we" may turn out to be, but for purposes of analysis I am assuming the law-abiding immense majority of the species, have a big job ahead of us. In fact even thinking about it requires a serious stretch for most of us.
However, to funk this task of establishing world justice under law, and instead to slink into seemingly easier formulas such as banning all immigration, were to debase the high seat of judgment and make even greater problems for ourselves right around the next bend of the road.
Once we have first, properly defeated Masters Bush, Clinton, Sharon and their accomplices, then we can turn our attention to global emergency relief measures. Next we will consider what damages are to due to the victims of imperial cruelty, such as the Vietnamese and the Iraqis, to name only 2 of many examples. As Shamir is, groping towards, we want to achieve, a global economic balance. Probably we are going to decide to follow the examples of Japan & China in taking measures to stabilize the planetary population.
We will constitute the democracy of Earth so that humanity may transcend the belligerent adolescence of "civilization" and achieve the harmonious maturity of --what will we choose to call our third age? "Kozmopolis" perhaps, as I have suggested already some years ago?
Right now writers have the urgent duty of defending the integrity of words by exposing lies & hypocrisies so that humans can learn to speak with one another in a trustworthy way to reach our common goals.
"Then thinking that he [the ship's captain] was obliged to justify an inadmissible ordinance: 'We live in an illogical world. Before the [French] Revolution a slave-trader sailed these [Carribbean] seas, owned by a _philosophe_ and a friend of Jean-Jacques. And do you know what she was called?
The CONTRAT SOCIAL.'" {From EXPLOSION IN THE CATHEDRAL by Alejo Carpentier,
p.189, originally LE SIECLE DES LUMIERES, 1962.}

Comment by Gilad Atzmon,Israeli musician and writer.

Yes, man. I agree with every word!
It is a bit embarrassing, but Israeli prime ministers love to be condemned by the international community. In Israel, any foreign criticism of Israel is interpreted as 'gentile pathological anti–Semitic
behaviour'. Every leading Israeli politician learns how to use this tool during his first days in office. The main pattern was delivered by Ben Gurion:  'It doesn't matter what the Goys say, what matters is what the Jews are doing.' With this ignorant statement the legendary Israeli PM managed to provide his voters with an instant reminder of the history of Jewish persecution, pushing the Jewish people deeper into their safe haven of complete segregation and denial of the outer world. Moreover, since in Hebrew the word gentile (goy) is a devastating derogative, Ben Gurion’s call leads Israelis to celebrate their superiority over the rest of humankind. Ben Gurion's statement was a call for Israelis to unite behind their leadership and to reject any sort of foreign criticism.

This doctrine leaves the international community helpless. On the one hand, lack of criticism is taken by the Israeli public as an approval or a sign of weakness. On the other hand, any international condemnation leads eventually to a growth of public support toward the political leadership. This fact might explain the continuous shift to the right within Israeli politics. Further, it explains the international community's impotence against Israeli oppression and atrocities.
In Jenin, Sharon had committed a crime comparable to the Quibya massacre of 50 years earlier. Although the similarities are obvious, there are differences that should be identified. In Quibya Sharon was a platoon commander, in Jenin he had become an elected prime minister and had committed his crime in the name of Israeli people. As soon as international criticism was heard, Sharon defined the current battle as the 'existential war of the all Jewish nation'. According to Sharon, then, the massacre in Jenin was done not only in the name of the
Israelis but in the name of all Jewish people. Sharon declared that very much like G. Bush he was conducting a holy war against terror.
Sharon becomes American messenger or at least American platoon commander. World
Jewry and the American administration have avoided public criticism of Sharon, hence, we can conclude that Sharon has committed his war crimes in the name of the Jewish people and the American nation. Unless major
Rabbis stand up and firmly denounce Sharon's atrocities, unless the American administration decides to stop supporting the Jewish state, we
will be forced to conclude that Sharon has indeed been acting in the name of the Jews and the American nation.
