Suddenly in recent months the neo-Left and the various branches of the Republiocan Movement have stopped their attacks on General Ariel Sharon and there has been relative silence on the issues in the Middle East. If one were to trace articles about Israel and the Arab Palestines over say the past 6 months in a neo-Left republican fringe magazine such as the Blanket one will see up to about 6 months ago the frequency of articles at a very high level, usually every week. Then suddenly nothing! Why the silence?
The reason is rather basic and rather obvious and is a terrible indictment of Ariel Sharon and what he and the Stalinist Leftists in Israeli society are engaged in.
I rate Ireland among the most anti-Semitic countries in the world. As an Irishman who is rather proud to be so this causes me great anxiety. This anti-Semitism is disguised somewhat in that its proponents claim they are campaigning against Zionism.
This is the Big Lie. In a series of articles which launched our website,
www.IrelandSupportsIsrael.com, I have shown that Zionism is an absolutely authentic nationalism.
Of all the racial groups in the world I rate the Jewish people most deserving of all to have a nation and to have a place in the world which they can call their own. This is Israel.
Why the hatred exhibited by the neo-Left and the republican groups towards Israel? This is a question which we simply can never let rest because it has such deep undertones given the historic implications of anti-Semitism.
So there is a deep silence on the part of these political groups and tendencies towards what Sharon calls the Gaza pullout or evacuation.
These words are in fact euphenism.The ethnic cleansing of Jews, the first forced movement of Jews from their homes and property since the time of the Holocaust is a far more accurate description of what is happening.
You see what I mean about the neo-Left and Irish republicans being silent on this. They are silent (all of a sudden) because they support the ethnic cleansing of Jews and wish it full speed.
It is very important to be clear about all of these events. These articles will attempt to bring to light exactly what is happening because there is absolutely no other forum in Ireland which will do so.
It is not just the neo-Left and Republican groups who are hostile to Jews living in Israel. The same applies to all of the press in Ireland. They all refer to those Jewish people who choose to live in Judea and Samaria, or Gaza, as being people who have no right to be there.
This is biassed reporting of an extraordinary nature. But given the historical background to the issue it is also deeply anti-Semitic.
They will be unable to do it but to avoid this they would need to make a thorough analysis of just where THEY are coming from. They would find that THEIR anti-Semitism is descended from the story told in the New Testament every Christmas, Crucify Him, Crucify Him.
On the other hand the hostility of the neo-Left has descended from the deep anti-Semitism which emerged in Russia, first under the Bolsheviks and then later post 1948 against Israel under Stalin and those who succeeded him.
So let it not be said that www.IrelandSupportsIsrael.com and www.isill.com stood idly by while Jews were ethnically cleansed from historic Israel. We at least will speak out against another piece of this earth to be made and to become Judenfrei. It will not happen without our opposition. So at least history can say that at least there was one Irish website which opposed this evil. (On this I also salute David Vance on The Tangled Web blog and I hope sincerely there are others)
I get enormous support and knowledge from Israpundit, a pro-Jewish website set up by a few Canadians some short years ago.The Jewish race is talented and Israpundit has carried some very gifted writers. Their belief in intelligent debate and in the Word is impressive. I too work on the same lines wanting to establish as many true facts as possible.
In trying to figure out what is going on behind this Sharon led ethnic cleansing of Jews one article which has proved helpful is by Marlene Young called
"The Truth about the Sharon Expulsion-of-Jews Plan".
Sharon does not act alone. We can look at Sharon as a small boy in the hands of great forces, in fact the EU, the UN, the Arab states, the Muslim world and the USA.
All of these tremedous forces are bringing terrible pressure to bear on the tiny state of Israel. It is a tiny country made up of some 6 millions, out of which are a million Arabs, all fully paid-up citizens of Israel with full rights as citizens and who have elected their own MPs into the Israeli Parliament. They also are like a dagger pointing at the heart of Israel.
The first point which Marlene Young stresses is that there is obfuscation of language taking place:
‘”Evacuation", "Pullout", and "Disengagement" are terms that refer to military personnel, not to the forced transfer of thousands of civilians and their homes and farms.
The terms "disengagement" and "contiguous" Palestinian State mean in effect the confiscation of Jewish property, forceful transfer of Jews, and the refusal to allow Jews property ownership in the territories even as Arabs sprawl all over Israel.
The new use of the word "contiguous" by Condoleeza Rice and President Bush to refer to the components of this projected Palestinian "democratic" state was first promoted by the Arab states and the European Union (EU) and is synonymous with the forced transfer of Jews and confiscation of Jewish owned property. ‘
This is a very perceptive point by Marlene. A big experience for many of us of my particular political persuasion was what happened in Yugoslavia, and particularly in Bosnia and in Kosova, during the 90s.
There the Serb nation was depicted as Nazis by a pro-EU and pro-USA media, and this lying was to prepare the ground for literally the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO.
Exactly this kind of lying has been used to deny Jews the right to live in areas of Judea and Samaria. There has been an unending media and neo-Left campaign to depict these Jews as first of all ‘settlers’. This in itself I find a loaded term, especially when it is always added to by adjectives such as right-wing or ultra-orthodox.
This again is a big lie. Why should these Jews be right-wing in any way and in this case what does right-wing and left-wing mean anyway? Nobody who calls Jewish people these names has given an ounce of evidence to prove it. This name-calling amounts to nothing more than prejudice.
What about the other term I mentioned?(and I have not exhausted the derogatory sounding terminology by any means)
What about ultra-orthodox? Jews like any other people have a right to be ultra-orthodox, just middling orthodox, or not orthodox at all. It is a glaring infringement of a basic human right. I was born into a catholic family in Ireland and indeed I am very proud of it. I am now a confirmed atheist and ditto: I am enormously proud of that also. But it is my belief and my business. Why should it be different for Jews living in Judea and Samaria.
You reach your own conclusions about this. To me it is all part of the softening up process. There is always a political aspect to language. Just as the labelling of Serbs as Nazis led somewhere, so this also is leading somewhere. We have to be attuned to language, especially that used by the enemy.
Marlene Young makes these further points:
(a) this situation is unique: The pullout and disengagement of troops in conflicts around the globe today do not include the forced transfer of thousands of civilians of one religion or nationality, the demolition of all communities of one religion or nationality, and confiscation of all property of one religion or nationality’.
(b) Its true awfulness lies in the details, but the details are not being reported by the "mainstream" media or disclosed by the Sharon government
(c) There is no moral, historical, or legal basis to carry out the forced transfer of this or any Jewish population from their property. So the Government invents its own rules as it begins to carry out the expulsion and meets resistance. Attorney General Mazuz and the Justice Minister call for increased suppression of the opposition's right to protest and employ escalating tactics of police brutality, detainment, arrests and administrative detention, where civilians are jailed without trial and without evidence of committing any crime.
(d) Actually, for all the haste with which it is being put into motion, the Disengagement Plan is a "work-in-progress." Sharon sculpts it as he goes along. He, Mofaz, Mazuz and Peres make deals, coerce, manipulate and are manipulated and bribe members of the Knesset, Israeli and PA officials and foreign leaders. The Plan morphs accordingly.
(e) All the enemies of Israel are trying to speed up the plan
(f) They do so because they understand the morally and political bankruptcy of their position
(g) One of the strongest strategic tools they've used is to convince the people that this is unavoidable, a "done deal". We are also told, as we have been since the 1993 Oslo Accords, that peace with the Palestinians hinges on giving them billions of aid dollars (still unaccounted for), building up their security forces (used to commit thousands of terror attacks), giving them more territory (Israel has given them more land and autonomy than Palestinian Arabs have had in their history), releasing hundreds of Palestinian terrorists from jail, and now confiscating Jewish-owned property and moving Jewish neighborhoods away from Arab ones.
(h) Finally just what sort of country are these people creating? By ‘these people’ I mean the US, the EU, Russia, the UN, the Arab and Muslim states. In other words no less than all of huimanity. As a citizen of one of these entities, the EU, and a tax-payer to the EU, what sort of country I demand to know?
The answer is brief and brutal! One which a Jew cannot set foot on! One which is Junenfrei! In 2005 that is what the combined wit of humanity can achieve!
These points spell out that the Jewish nation is once more in peril. The forces against it are there and this is what has bought the silence of those enemies of Israel I mentioned at the beginning.
In the next article I will enumerate some of the aspects of this situation in order to clarify the issue further for Irish readers.
