Israel’s cruelty: Holocaust by Nazis, vengeance on Palestinians

Israel’s crimes against humanity beggar belief. There are cruel tyrannies in the world, such as North Korea. But no other country commits such prolific barbarities relative to its size and population, and then has the temerity to call itself a democracy. No other sovereign state has the chutzpah to boast that its military is ‘the most moral army in the world’ while indulging in the murder of civilians by the tens of thousands. Israel extols human rights while flagrantly violating them on a huge scale every single day.

Tel Aviv always exploits the Holocaust. In Beyond Chutzpah, the Jewish anti-Zionist Professor Norman Finkelstein explicates how the Israelis will always change the subject to Yom HaShoah when confronted with incontrovertible proof of Israeli outrages against the Palestinians. This is a breach of Godwin’s Law.

The Israeli government and its acolytes will incessantly harp on about the Holocaust. To be sure, the Holocaust definitely happened and was a vast crime by the Third Reich against Jews and other groups. Eighty years after the Holocaust, the Israelis keep talking about it nonstop to create a sense of Jewish victimhood. This is a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Any offence against law or morality, no matter how gross, is permitted to them because of the Holocaust. Israel and its allies ceaselessly speak about antisemitism. They insist on a definition of antisemitism that includes almost any critique of Israeli actions, no matter how temperate or closely reasoned that critique is, or how blatantly felonious the Israeli action may be.

For decades, Israel ran a slick public relations campaign. It hired the best PR people in major Western capitals. Israel could put forward spokespeople who were native speakers of French, German, English, Spanish or other Western languages. These white Israelis, speaking in whichever language was required, convinced Western audiences: ‘he or she is one of us’. Notably, to speak to the British media, the Israelis would field a spokesman or spokeswoman with a British accent; for the US media, it was an Israeli with an American accent. Most people really are that susceptible — they like the familiar. By contrast, until recently, not many Palestinians spoke fluent English. Their accented English and skin colour caused Westerners to ‘other’ these spokesmen and spokeswomen for freedom.

Israel did not care much about the opinion of less economically developed countries. It needed trade and arms from wealthy countries. Israel has embassies in over 100 countries, enabling Mossad operations. It has successfully bribed some of these less developed nations to be cooperative.

Israel poses as feeble and beset by mighty foes. In fact, Israel is almost a military superpower. Though small in land and population, its military technology is among the most advanced in the world. Israel has nuclear weapons and always lies about that. It illegally occupies Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. Its neighbours are largely defenceless against it.

Monstrous crimes against civilians are always defended as Israel’s ‘right to defend itself’, while those who resist Israel’s brutal and illegal occupations are pathologised.

The Zionist entity boasts that it is a Rechtsstaat. It was founded by the United Nations. Its Declaration of Independence came a year after the UN voted to create Israel. Despite this, Israel is in breach of dozens of UN resolutions. It breaks international law on a vast scale and acts in defiance of rulings by the International Court of Justice.

The State of Israel captured both political parties in the United States. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party were in a loyalty contest to Israel. US politicians vied to outdo each other in their fulsome laudation of Israel and in their pledges to back it to the hilt. Almost all declared that, if elected, their first foreign visit would be to the Jewish state. It is staggering to behold. This was because Zionist donors in the United States ensured that Zionist candidates won, whether as Democrats or Republicans. Every election in the USA was a win–win for Israel. Anyone who dared raise a voice for decency towards Palestinians was instantly denounced by the Zionist media as an antisemite, a Nazi and a pro-terrorist.

In recent years, the left of the Democrats has faced the fact that Israel is daily committing the most heinous crimes against the Palestinians. The flagrant injustice of Israel’s apartheid policies and the orgy of racist violence against Palestinians has penetrated the conscience of some decent Democrats. The party’s high command remains an accessory and enabler of these constant crimes against humanity. However, the Democratic Party is no longer foursquare behind Israel, and therefore Israel has had to discreetly back the Republicans.

Zionists in the US have assisted Israel in its campaign to intimidate peaceful protesters against its cruelty towards the Palestinians. The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement seeks to end the illegal occupation without any use of force. Many states and cities in the US have declared they will never trade with any entity that is signed up to the BDS movement. The US Congress has sanctioned judges and UN officials who have held Israel to account for its manifold and blatant crimes against international and humanitarian law.

Israel has done much to disseminate the notion that all Arabs and all Muslims are villainous, barbarous and mindlessly violent. Zionists control Hollywood. Netanyahu, in the 1970s, organised a conference to publicise the idea that Islam is inherently vicious. They have shaped the Occidental psyche. Arabs and Muslims are so often depicted as sadistic ogres that many cannot distinguish fact from fiction, falling for this Zionist propaganda. The white supremacist element in the USA that pumps out Islamophobic diatribes often takes its script straight from Tel Aviv.

Israel adeptly exploits any attack by any Islamic armed group anywhere in the world, then claims to be a fellow victim of such insensate bloodlust. The 9/11 attacks were a golden opportunity for Israel. The United States, furious and seeking to shred its own constitutional safeguards, gave Israel an opening for another wave of massive violence against unarmed Palestinians.

The State of Israel has teamed up with some of the world’s most oppressive regimes. These include apartheid South Africa and Uzbekistan under the late Islam Karimov.
