A significant justification for Israel’s existence relies on the narrative that, because of the alleged inherent and rabid antisemitism of Arabs and Islam, the Jews of the Middle East never had a home. Without Israel, it is said, these Jews would be left on the fringes of Middle Eastern societies, marginalized for an irrational prejudice against their religion and ethnicity by Muslims.

Historian and author Avi Shlaim details in his book, “Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab Jew,” through personal experience and historical analysis the lies that this narrative is constructed upon.

“There was no history of antisemitism in the Arab world. Antisemitism is a European disease,” Shlaim tells Chris Hedges. “In the 1930s, antisemitism was exported from Europe to Iraq in particular, and it’s striking that there was no antisemitic literature in Arabic. So antisemitic literature had to be translated from European languages into Arabic…”

Shlaim was born in Iraq, where a thriving, educated and economically diverse society existed for Jews during his childhood. He describes how “It took Europe much longer than it took the Arab world to accept the Jews as equal citizens,” and how “[Jews] were very much part of the fabric of Iraqi society. We [were] not a foreign body. There were thriving Jewish communities throughout the Arab world, in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq, in Egypt, throughout North Africa, but the Jewish community in Iraq was the most successful, the most prosperous, and also the best integrated of all the Jewish communities.”

It was Israel, according to Shlaim, that brought the divide and plight of the Jews in the Middle East. Shlaim mourns a time where his family experienced peaceful coexistence: “Muslim [and] Jewish coexistence was not an abstract idea. It wasn’t a distant dream. It was the everyday reality.”

Shlaim’s accounts also utilize his skills as a historian, diving into the incontrovertible evidence he discovered that reveals false flag atrocities committed by the Israelis against Iraqi Jews themselves. These attacks fomented a fear of antisemitism amongst Arab Jews, correlating with a significant spike in Iraqi Jewish emigration, and ultimately, coercively reinforced the legitimacy of the Jewish state.

“[T]his false flag operation,” Shlaim said, referring to the 1950 and 1951 Israeli bombings of Iraqi Jews, “is a terrible indictment of the State of Israel, because Israel was created to provide a safe haven for Jews fleeing persecution. Israel was not established in order to destabilize and frighten and create insecurity for the Jews of the diaspora.”

“The real upheaval,” Shlaim recounts, “ happened when Israel was created in 1948 and as my mother said to me, when Israel was created, everything was turned upside down.”

Transcript

Chris Hedges: At the age of five in 1950, Avi Shlaim, former Oxford professor in international relations and one of the preeminent historians of the Middle East, was forced to leave Iraq where his family’s roots stretching back generations. They fled to the new state of Israel. The once thriving Jewish community in Baghdad, of which he and his family were a part, numbered some 130,000 people before the creation of the Zionist state. Today it has all but vanished. In his book Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew he evokes this lost world, one that was highly educated, cultured, multilingual and lived in harmony with Sunnis, Shias and Christians in the newly formed nation of Iraq following the carving up of the Ottoman Empire in the wake of World War I. His narrative is at odds with the official Zionist narrative, which argues that anti-Semitism is hard wired into Islam and that the Jews in the Arab world before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 were a persecuted minority that needed to be rescued and transported to the new Jewish state. “The years 1950-51 marked a cataclysm for Iraqi Jews,” Professor Shlaim writes. “In the space of just over a year, nearly the entire community left behind their ancient homeland. My family was among them. Our comfortable lifestyle collapsed around a change I could not even dimly comprehend as a child. Ever since, I have been trying to make sense of what happened and why.” This exodus, he writes, became a rout after five bomb attacks on Jewish targets in Baghdad between 1950 and 1951. Who carried out these terrorist attacks, in which Jews were injured and killed, has been debated for 75 years, with two Israeli official commissions of inquiry. Professor Shlaim’s research, based on interviews with those involved and Israeli documents, concludes that “three of the five bombings were the work of the Zionist underground,” part of an effort to frighten Jews into leaving for Israel. Once in Israel, Professor Shlaim and his family, because they were of Arab descent, suffered discrimination from the European Jews who dominated Israeli political and cultural life.

He writes: “By delving into the history of my family in Iraq I gained a better understanding of the nature and global impact of Zionism… Zionism was a settler-colonial movement… Looking back it seems to me utterly indisputable that the creation of Israel involved a monumental injustice to the Palestinians. Three-quarters of a million Palestinians, more than half the total, became refugees…

“What the story of my family brought home to me, however, was that there was another category of victims of the Zionist project: the Jews of the Arab lands. Moreover, there was a link between the ways that the Zionist movement treated the Palestinian Arabs and its treatment of the Arab-Jews. Both groups were a means to an end: the construction of an exclusive Jewish nation-state in the heart of the Middle East…the same colonial institutions that displaced the Palestinians were tasked with absorbing the Jewish migrants from the Arab lands. And the same arrogant, Eurocentric, Orientalist mindset greeted the Jewish newcomers from the East.” Joining me to discuss his book Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jews is Professor Avi Shlaim.

Avi Shlaim: So as you pointed out, my purpose in writing this book was to reanimate, to recreate a unique Jewish civilization of the Near East, which has been blown away in the 20th century by the cold winds of nationalism. And my book is an attempt to interweave the personal story and the family story with a much bigger story of the Jewish community in Iraq in the first half of the 20th century. And as you pointed out, my account exactly contradicts the Zionist narrative, which says that those endemic perennial antisemitism throughout the Arab and the Islamic world, and it was this deeply ingrained antisemitism that forced the Jews to leave the Arab world and to come to the newly established state of Israel. And in my book, I try and give an honest account of what life was like in Iraq before our move to Israel. And one of the main points that emerged from my account is that there was a long tradition of harmony, a long tradition of religious tolerance between the different minorities. And in Iraq, there are many minorities. There were Christians, there were Catholics, Chaldeans, Turkmen, Yazidis and Jews. And the Jews didn’t stand out in Iraq.

The Jews were one minority among many, and there was a long tradition of coexistence between the different minorities. So Iraq did not have a Jewish problem, in inverted commas, Europe had a Jewish problem. In Europe, the Jews were the Other. Europe had a Jewish problem. Adolf Hitler had what he thought was a solution to the Jewish problem. Iraq did not have a Jewish problem. Iraq had many minorities, and Iraq was a pluralist society with coexistence. The Zionist account dwells on the persecution and misery of the Jews in Iraq. The experience of my family and the Jewish community was very, very different. It was one of coexistence, and for my family and me, Muslim, Jewish, coexistence was not an abstract idea. It wasn’t a distant dream. It was the everyday reality. The real upheaval happened when Israel was created in 1948 and as my mother said to me, when Israel was created, everything was turned upside down.

Chris Hedges: One of the fascinating points in your book is that there was, in the 1930s, the rise of an antisemitic party. But again, that was a European import, that this was fueled by German fascism. That was a fascinating point, that even the most virulent forms of antisemitism in Iraq were a European import.

Avi Shlaim: There was no history of antisemitism in the Arab world. Antisemitism is a European disease. Antisemitism was born in Europe. You can trace it back to the church in medieval times, which persecuted Jews because they didn’t accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God. In the Middle East, in the Arab world, there wasn’t a parallel tradition. In the 1930s, antisemitism was exported from Europe to Iraq in particular, and it’s striking that there was no antisemitic literature in Arabic. So antisemitic literature had to be translated from European languages into Arabic, and one example is Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” The situation of the Jews in Iraq was very, very different to that of the Jews in Europe. In Iraq, the Jews did not live in ghettos. In Iraq, the Jews practiced all the different professions. It took Europe much longer than it took the Arab world to accept the Jews as equal citizens, and we, my family and I, in the Jewish community, we had much more in common linguistically and culturally with our Arab compatriots than we did with our European co-religionists. So we were very much part of the fabric of Iraqi society. We are not a foreign body. There were thriving Jewish communities throughout the Arab world, in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq, in Egypt, throughout North Africa, but the Jewish community in Iraq was the most successful, the most prosperous, and also the best integrated of all the Jewish communities.

Chris Hedges: Your family was quite prosperous. Your father was quite a successful businessman. So you grew up in privilege in Baghdad.

Avi Shlaim: Indeed, we were an upper middle class society. We were very privileged. My father was a very successful merchant. We lived in a palatial house. We had many servants. My mother was a lady of leisure, and it was a secure, comfortable, almost sybaritic lifestyle. Very, very comfortable lifestyle. And we were indeed privileged, and I don’t claim that we were typical of the Jews in Iraq. The Jews in Iraq belonged to all different classes, and there was also a large number of very poor Jews in Iraq, and there was a large middle class. So I write about my own experience, and I make it clear that I do not generalize about the rest of the Jewish community in Iraq.

Chris Hedges: I want to talk about Zionism as an ideology before we talk about the creation of the State of Israel. It did not have much support among the Jews in Iraq. You write, Zionism emphasized the historical connection of the Jewish people to its ancestral homeland in the Middle East, but it spawned a state whose cultural and geopolitical orientation identified it almost exclusively with the West. Israel saw itself and was regarded by its enemies as an extension of European colonialism in the Middle East as being in the Middle East, but not of it in this Eurocentric state. It was impossible for people, like you write about your grandmother, to feel at home, but that was typical of most of the Iraqi Jews. They did not identify as Zionists.

Avi Shlaim: No, Zionism was a European movement by European Jews, for European Jews. It did not really relate to the Jews of the East, and indeed, the early Zionist leaders tended to look down on Arab Jews, or the Jews of the East. They tended to have an Orientalist view of Arabs as being a backward and primitive people, and the Jews of the Arab world were seen as not much better, slightly better, but not much better, as being rather backward and uneducated. And the Jewish, the Zionist leadership never paid much attention to the Jews of the Middle East until the Holocaust. The Holocaust removed the main reservoir of people for the Jewish state to be. And in the aftermath of the Holocaust, the Zionist leaders had to look for Jews from wherever they could find them, from all corners of the earth to bring them to the newly born state of Israel, and that included the Jews of the Arab lands.

Chris Hedges: I want to talk about that, but before I do you write about Samuel Huntington’s very specious theory of the clash of civilizations, and how it implicitly rules out the possibility of a Jewish-Arab identity. And this kind of clash of civilizations, you say, has been a major influence on the approach of some Zionist historians to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Can you just talk about that point a little bit before we get into what happened in Iraq?

Avi Shlaim: Yes. So after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Samuel Huntington, Harvard professor, propagated this notion of clash of civilizations, and in it, he argued that conflict, after the fall of the Soviet empire, was no longer between nation states, but between civilizations, between cultures. And it seems to me that some Americans always need to have an enemy. During the Cold War, there was a clear enemy, the Soviet Union, and everything revolved around the conflict between East and West. And after the collapse of the Soviet Union, some Americans needed a new enemy, and Samuel Huntington conjured up one, which is radical Islam. So now the conflict became not between nation states, but between the West and the rest, between the West and radical Islam. And interestingly, the original name for what became the global war on terror was the war against global, sorry, the war against radical Islam. This notion of clash of civilizations is really simplistic and superficial, and it will, I would go further, I would say it’s totally worthless, and it most certainly doesn’t apply to the history that I lived through. My family and the Jewish community left Iraq, not because of any cultural or religious reasons or clash with the rest of Iraqi society. My family, the drivers of our displacement, was political, not ideological, not cultural.

So clash of civilizations has no relevance here. And yet this notion was picked up by some right wing Israeli writers like Benny Morris, for example, who wrote a good book on 1948, the first Arab-Israeli war. And in the introduction, he says that this was not a conventional geopolitical conflict. In a broader sense, it was a conflict between Judeo-Christian civilization on Islam. So I think this, again, is a complete misrepresentation of the reality. This was a very traditional geopolitical conflict between Jews and Arabs over a piece of land. So to sum up, I think that clash of civilizations doesn’t help us to understand the nature of the Israeli-Arab conflict

Chris Hedges: And the consequences, you used the figure of 850,000 Jews from Arab countries. So you’re right and I’m wrong, I said 260. The forced exodus of 850,000 Jews from Arab countries after 1948, you write, amounted to a catastrophe, a Jewish Nakba, that refers to the Palestinian Nakba of 1948 with 750,000 Palestinians ethnically cleansed, at least on par with, if not more devastating in its consequences than the Palestinian Nakba. So why do you write, if not more devastating in its consequences?

Avi Shlaim: Here is where I differ from the Zionist narrative. The Zionist narrative says in 1948 the Arabs attacked the infant state of Israel. And in the course of the war, three quarters of a million Palestinians became refugees. They weren’t pushed out. They left off their own free will or on orders from above. And at the same time, 850,000 Jews were driven out of the Arab world, and ended up in Israel, and they were forced out by antisemitism, that was the driver of the displacement. So what you have is a double exodus. It’s the theory of the double exodus, that in 1948 there was a Palestinian exodus from Palestine and a Jewish exodus from the Arab world to Israel. So in effect, there was a population exchange, and Israel doesn’t owe the Arabs or the Palestinians anything. This is a very popular theory in the Israeli right, and it’s one that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is very fond of and repeats at every conceivable occasion. This is the view that Israel is completely innocent. Israel was attacked. Israel is not responsible in any way for the Palestinian refugee problem. It’s the Arabs who wronged the Jews, and Israel offered a safe haven to the Jews fleeing from persecution. So that’s the view that is very popular in Israel, and one that Netanyahu purveys all the time, and as we speak, he’s addressing a special session of the both houses of Congress, and I suspect that he will be putting forward this Zionist view of the history of the conflict.

Chris Hedges: Let’s talk a little bit about the process of pushing Jews in the Middle East into or forcing them to flee from Iraq, and you did quite a bit of research, there were five bombings as I mentioned in their introduction, into finding out who was responsible for those bombings which turned the kind of trickle of Jewish refugees from Iraq into a stampede. But talk about your research, it’s something that, in the book you say, has kind of obsessed you as a historian throughout much of your career.

Avi Shlaim: In 1950, there were 135,000 Jews in Iraq. By the end of 1952, only about 10,000 were left, and 125,000 Iraqi Jews ended up in Israel. They arrived in Israel with one suitcase and 50 dinars. They had lost everything, and in 1950-51 five bombs exploded in Jewish premises in Baghdad, and there were persistent rumors in Israel. I knew this from my family and my relatives, that Israel had a hand in the bombs to force them to leave, and this fueled Arab-Iraqi Jewish resentment against the State of Israel, and I became obsessed with this question of who threw the bombs, not when I became a historian, but when I was a child. When I became a historian in 1982 when I spent a sabbatical year in the Israel state archives in Jerusalem, I ordered a file called Iraq 1950 and I was told this file was closed. I asked the state archivist, why is it closed, because more than 30 years have elapsed, and he said to me, I’ll check. And the next day, he said to me, because in this file there are some Mossad documents. And I thought, Aha, there are Mossad documents, that’s why they are trying to hide the truth. And I said to him, why don’t you remove the Mossad documents and leave the Foreign Ministry documents? And he said, I’ll check. The following day he came back to me, and he said, I’m sorry, the whole file is closed and I cannot release any of the file, and I thought to myself, it’s possible that there is a smoking gun in this file, which is why they don’t want to release it.

But I’m a historian, I’m not a conspiracy theorist. So I suspended judgment until I started work on my autobiography, and then I came across two sources of evidence which implicate Israel in the bombings, in three out of the five bombs, one source was Yaakov Karkoukli, an elderly Iraqi friend of my mother, who was an activist in the Zionist underground, and he told me in great detail about their activities, about the bribes they paid, about the documents they forged, about the action to accelerate, to enable, first the illegal migration from Iraq, and then after 1950 the legal migration. Because in 1950 the Iraqi passed a law that said, any Iraqi Jew wants to leave has a year to register and they can leave the country. And so he was one source, and he said to me that he had a colleague named Yusef Basri who was responsible for three out of the five bones, and he told me that his controller, Basri’s controller, was an Israeli intelligence officer called Max Bineth, who was based in Tehran, because in those days, the Shah of Iran had covert relations with Israel. So Max Bineth was the controller of Basri, who was responsible for the three bombs. That’s one source of evidence, but we all know that there are pitfalls in oral evidence. The other piece of evidence is a Iraq police report, one page that Karkoukli gave me, which names names, which names Basri and his assistant, Shalom Salih Shalom. And it reports what they said in the interrogation after they were captured. So I now have both oral history and hard evidence which led, and I think that together, they make incontrovertible evidence that Israel had a hand in the bombs that were intended to frighten the Jews and precipitate the exodus from Iraq to Israel.

Chris Hedges: And Bineth ends up in Cairo, also apparently overseeing terrorist activities against Western targets during the regime of Nasser and commit suicide in a jail cell. So this tactic of terrorism, Zionist sponsored terrorism, was not limited to Iraq.

Avi Shlaim: This is a really crucial point, that the bombings in the streets of Baghdad in 1950-51 were not a one off operation, it was a false flag operation, but it was part of a pattern of Zionist false flag operations in the Arab world. And the other significant false flag operation is the one you just mentioned. It’s in Israel, it’s called the mishap. And the mishap, or all the Lavon affair. Pinhas Lavon was the Israeli defense minister in 1954 when a ring of Jewish Egyptian spies and saboteurs were caught red handed when a bomb in a cinema exploded prematurely, creating smoke, which led up to the rounding up of the whole ring. And the purpose of this operation was to create bad blood between the newly established, newly installed Nasser regime and the West to say to the West that the Nasser regime was unreliable. Britain had just signed an agreement to withdraw from the Suez Canal Zone, and this was intended to force Britain to remain in the Suez Canal Zone. So the leader of this ring was an old acquaintance, Max Bineth. He was caught and he committed suicide in an Egyptian prison.

He committed suicide after he heard that the Iraqi Government had requested his extradition to Iraq because of the things that he did in 1950-51. So this is the conclusion that I draw, that false flag operations are not run off in Iraq, but they are part of the Zionist strategy of dealing with the Arab world, and I’ll make one other point. This is a terrible thing to do, what Israel did in both instances, it’s to send an Israeli intelligence officer to recruit decent Iraqi Jews and to turn them against their country, to turn them into spies, and worst of all, to turn them into terrorists. So this is Israel sponsoring terrorism by Jews against other Jews in Arab countries. It’s a terrible indictment of Israel.

Chris Hedges: Well, we should also be clear that the Israeli Mossad, or underground, shipped all sorts of weapons and explosives into Iraq and hid them in synagogues.

Avi Shlaim: They did and after Basri and his assistant, Shalom Salih Shalom, were caught, Shalom was the one who handled the [inaudible], so he took the Iraqi police to the synagogue, where they had weapons and the transmitter and to all the hiding points in all the Jewish houses. And it amounted to a very substantial lot of weapons, hand grenades so the Zionist movement was responsible for all this, and you could justify it by saying that they were training local Jews for self defense; that you cannot possibly justify using these weapons, these hand grenades, the TNT for terrorist operations to frighten the Jews. My Zionist critics say, some deny altogether. They say that I invented this story, that Israel had no hand whatsoever in these bombings.

Others say, yes, they may have had a hand, but the exodus happened not because of the bombs, but because of antisemitism, because of official persecution of the Jews. This is what drove the Jews out. Now it’s not part of my argument that the bombs were the critical factor in the exodus. I accept that official persecution was the main reason for the exodus, but the bombs were a factor. They have to be taken into account. And if I knew for certain that not a single Iraqi Jew left Iraq to Israel because of the bombs, I would still say this operation, this false flag operation, is a terrible indictment of the State of Israel, because Israel was created to provide a safe haven for Jews fleeing persecution. Israel was not established in order to destabilize and frighten and create insecurity for the Jews of the diaspora.

Chris Hedges: Although, am I correct that, after the bombings, the numbers of Iraqi Jews who decided to flee to Israel increased exponentially?

Avi Shlaim: Yes, in March 1950 when the law was passed allowing the Jews to leave, only a few thousand chose this option. The majority preferred to stay, and then the number of Jews who registered to leave kept increasing throughout that year, and the bombs, you can correlate the bombs with the spike in the number of Jews who left, but I emphasize it’s not part of my argument that the bombs were the main reason for the Jews leaving Iraq. The process, the exodus, was a complex process, and there are many factors, and this is one factor that I have highlighted, and for which I provided incontrovertible evidence.

Chris Hedges: And we should be clear that after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, many Arab governments did begin to discriminate and persecute their Jewish minorities, branding them whether they were Zionist supporters or not, as kind of, you know, fifth column within their own country,

Avi Shlaim: Undoubtedly, indisputably, this is so. But the reason for the change also has something to do with Zionism. Zionism gave the Jews a territorial dimension for the first time in two and a half millennia, Zionism led to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 it achieved Its principal goal. There was now a Jewish state, and for any Arab who didn’t like Jews, this was an excuse to try and get rid of them. In Iraq, there was the [inaudible] party, which was a right wing nationalist party, which was anti semitic, anti-Jewish, and it called for confiscating the property of Iraqi Jews and for expelling them. They were right wing parties in other Arab countries. What had changed in 1948 is that there was a Jewish state, and anyone, any Arab, who didn’t like Jews, could now turn to the Jews and say, “You don’t belong here. You’re not from here. You’re foreigners. You’re outsiders. You are the brothers of the Zionists who have displaced our Palestinian brothers.” So it became easier for any antisemites now to turn onto the Jews and the Jews in Iraq who had been a positive element in Iraqi society, a very positive element, in nation building since the First World War, now were seen increasingly as a fifth column.

Chris Hedges: Just before we get into your experience once you migrate to Israel, you write, for Israel, the operation, we’re talking about the operation of pushing the Jews to Israel, yielded, apart from its human cargo, hundreds of thousands of pounds in hard currency. This operation was also very profitable for the Zionists.

Avi Shlaim: It was profitable because the law that allowed Jews to leave the country allowed them to leave with only 50 dinars, and when they arrived in Israel, they arrived with the 125,000 of them. So multiply 125,000 by 50 dinars, this is in 1950-51 when Israel was very short of hard currency and this was a source, a major source, of hard currency, and also the Iraqi Jews were given the official rate of exchange, which was not a favorable rate. So yes, Israel did make quite a lot of gain, quite a lot in hard currency as a result of the arrival of the Iraqi Jews.

Chris Hedges: And we should also note your mother, who comes across as kind of a force of nature throughout the whole book, manages to smuggle out her diamonds, along with, I think, six oriental carpets. Your situation, you’re in a hotel in Cyprus for a month. Your father is left behind, has to flee across the border, finally, at great risk, to Iran, doesn’t join you for a year. Let’s talk about what life was like for Arab Jews in the Zionist state. It was quite a bitter experience for you, although, when you become an adolescent, you’re attracted to Herut, the very right wing Menachem Begin party. But let’s talk about the effect that it had on you and your family, being in a state that was, you know, dominated by European Jews.

Avi Shlaim: As I said earlier, my family was very privileged. We were very wealthy, and also my mother had British citizenship because her father was an interpreter for the British Consulate in Baghdad. So in June, 1950, my mother, my grandmother and my two sisters and I left Baghdad on a regular flight to Nicosia in Cyprus, and from there we went by boat to Haifa and once we arrived in Israel, we didn’t go, like the rest of Iraqi Jews, into transit camps. We went to live with my mother’s uncle in Ramat Gan in a very large house. So I and my family didn’t suffer as much as the great majority of ordinary Iraqi Jews, because when they arrived in Israel, they were sprayed with DDT. Just try to imagine the impact that this would have on a Jew who arrived in the Promised Land, and he’s treated like an animal and sprayed with pesticide. And from the airport, these Jews were taken to transit camps to Ma’abarot. And the conditions in the Ma’abarot were very, very dire. There were tents, there were shacks. Sanitation was very poor, the food was inadequate and of very poor quality. But most of all, there was the cultural shock of arriving in a new country with a different language, and the managers of the Ma’abarot were all Ashkenazi Jews. They didn’t have a clue about who these newcomers were. They had no idea of their status, their qualifications, their achievements in Iraq. They thought that these people, instead of complaining, should be grateful for everything that was done for them. So this was a very shaky start for the Iraqi Jews in Israel.

Chris Hedges: Well, you make the point in the book that oftentimes the Arab Jews, especially the women, were far better educated than the Ashkenazi or European Jews who looked down on them. You write, you’re writing about the Zionist leadership, “They simply had no understanding of the customs, culture or aspirations of Iraqi Jews. They thought of them as backward and primitive and expected them to take their place at the bottom of the social hierarchy and be grateful for whatever they were given. The Olim came from nine different Arab countries, but for the transit camp managers, they were all the same.” And then you write, the Israeli establishment was bent on suppressing the Arab culture and erasing the identity of oriel Jews by forcing them into a European Ashkenazi melting pot. David Ben Gurion, the first prime minister, referred to the immigrants of the east as savage hordes, and Abba Eban, who I knew, stated that the goal must be to instill in them a Western spirit and not let them drag us into an unnatural Orient. This Orientalism was rampant, and you experienced this in school, although you end up finally at the University of Cambridge in England and are a noted scholar, that didn’t color your early experiences, where there was open hostility to you as an Iraqi Jew.

Avi Shlaim: Indeed, and as a boy, I had a sense of inferiority because I was an Iraqi boy, because I was an Iraqi. Yitzhak Bar Moshe, a distant relative of mine, wrote many books, and one of them was about the departure from Iraq about this period, and he says we left Iraq as Jews, and we arrived in Israel as Iraqis. And this was true for me and my family. In Israel, we felt out of place. We felt that we didn’t belong. My father never really mastered the Hebrew language and Aliyah, immigration to Israel is described as Aliyah, which literally means ascent, so you ascent to Israel. But in our experience, the move from Iraq to Israel was a steep Yerida, a steep descent from a high status in Iraq to the margins of Israeli society. So yes, there was this Orientalist attitude on the part of the Israeli leadership, and there was really no getting away from that. My sense of inferiority governed my relationship with Israeli society, and it’s only many years later that I began to make sense of my life in Israel and why I did so badly at school, and one thing that I learned as a scholar and didn’t understand as a school boy was that the Ashkenazi elite has also pursued a systematic process of de-Arabization of the Arab Jews.

The whole educational system was geared to de-Arabization of the Jews from the Arab countries and turning them into new Israelis. But part of that was the erasing of our history. So Jewish history is the history of the Jews in Europe and the American-Jewish historian Salo Baron coined the phrase, the lachrymose phrase, the lachrymose version of Jewish history, that is to say, Jewish history is a never ending cycle of persecution, discrimination, violence and hostility, culminating in the Holocaust. This may apply, although I would dispute that it does, to the history of the Jews in Europe, but it most emphatically doesn’t apply to our history in Iraq. So one of the things that I wanted to achieve in this book is to rewrite, or to write, our history in Iraq as I experienced it and as my family experienced it, rather than to allow the Zionist historian to subsume history, our history, under the lachrymose version of Jewish history.

Chris Hedges: Let’s talk about your attraction to Herut, Menachem Begin who carried out terrorist activities in the lead up to the Israeli state, against the British and against the Palestinians, as well as your national service in the Israeli Defense Force, which both of those two experiences push you very close to embracing the Zionist narrative. But let’s begin with Begin because he was certainly no friend of the Arab world. I mean, he had a great strain of racism within Herut and yet, as somebody within, and Mapai was the ruling Labor Party but it was European dominated, but talk about that attraction to the far right, and then your experiences in the IDF.

Avi Shlaim: So yes, let’s begin with Begin, who was an extreme right wing nationalist, and he had nothing to offer oriental Jews on the socio-economic front, because he supported capitalism and his domestic agenda did not appeal, or should not have appealed to poor, impoverished oriental Jews. What he did have was nationalism, and also he was a spellbinding orator. And the way he addressed me and the crowds in the main square in Ramat Gan who came to hear him was, he said to us, we are brothers, we are equal. We are all patriotic Israelis. What we are up against is the Mapai elite, the labor elite. It’s they who look down on you. I don’t look down on you. So he played on our sense of alienation, and he exploited the arrogance of the Mapai elite, and that’s how he reached us and oriental Jews, because we were outsiders, had a tendency to want to belong. We wanted to establish our nationalist credentials. That’s why we were attracted to Menachem Begin and his brand of Zionism.

Chris Hedges: Very similar to Trump, many of dispossessed people feel that he expresses their grievances, even though, of course, it’s kind of root to their own enslavement. And let’s talk about the IDF, and you talk about the Six Day War as being kind of the height of your… you make a very good point, by the way, in the book about the difference between patriotism and nationalism and nationalism needs enemies, that’s what defines nationalism. But let’s talk about your experience in the IDF and its effect on you.

Avi Shlaim: I was inducted into the IDF when I was 18, and that was the height of my identification with Zionism and the State of Israel. There is extensive academic literature on nationalism, in particular, there is Benedict Anderson’s book on imagined communities. But I felt nationalism in my bones, as a boy. I knew what it meant. The induction ceremony was on the Judaean Hills in the twilight, when there was a fusillade which illuminated the sky, and we all shouted in unison, “In blood and fire, Judea fell. In blood and fire, Judea will rise again.” And I remember having a distinct sense that we were a small, peace loving country surrounded by Arab predators, who wanted to throw us into the sea. And I had a deep belief in the justice of our cause. And like all of my colleagues, we were really nationalist. We were prepared to defend and to die for our country. But that was the high point of my identification with the Zionist project.

When the Six Day War broke out in June 1967, I was a history student at Cambridge, and my disenchantment with Israel began slowly from that period onwards, because the Six Day War was a turning point in the history of the Middle East, but it was also a turning point in my personal history, because I had served in the mid-1960s proudly and loyally in the IDF, because I thought, at that time, that it was true to its name, it was the Israel Defense Forces. But after the victory in 1967, Israel traveled its territory. It captured the Golan Heights, the West Bank and Sinai, and Israel became a fully fledged colonial power, and the IDF was transformed from a regular army into the brutal police force of a brutal colonial empire. So that’s the beginning of a long process of disenchantment with Israel and Zionism.

Chris Hedges: I want to close, you write towards the end of the book, Israel never saw itself as part of the Middle East, nor did it want to integrate into the regional environment. Oriental Jews, with their knowledge of Arabic and first hand experience of living in Arab countries, could have served as a bridge between Israel and its neighbors. The Ashkenazi establishment, however, had no interest in building such a bridge. Under the leadership of David Ben Gurion, it built Israel as a fortress state with a siege mentality that attributed genocidal intentions to its neighbors. It saw Israel as part of the West, and it used the special relationship with the United States not to resolve its conflict with the Palestinians, but to prolong and entrench its control over the occupied territories. And of course, now we have the genocide in Gaza.

Avi Shlaim: The founding fathers of Israel never thought of Israel as part of the Middle East, as Ze’ev Jabotinsky portrayed the Jewish state as holding the wall between Europe and Eastern barbarism. Theodor Herzl, the visionary of the Jewish state also regarded the Jewish state as part of Europe, culturally, spiritually and David Ben Gurion, the first prime minister, once said, it’s only as a result of a geographical accident that we find ourselves in the Middle East. Our values and our culture makes us part of the West. And Israel’s geopolitical orientation has always been to be part of the West. Israel from Ben-Gurion to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has always resisted integration into the region, and Netanyahu is an extreme example of an Islamophobe, of someone who hates Arabs, as someone who doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Arab world, who believes only in Israeli domination over the Palestinians and over the Arabs. And I, naively, used to hope that the Mizrahi, the Arab Jews, could serve as a bridge between Israel and its neighbors, but as I wrote in my book, Israel’s Ashkenazi leadership was not interested in building bridges.

It was only interested in Israeli hegemony and domination. So the Arab Jews never served as a bridge, but that is not to say that they are not capable of serving as a bridge. And in my book, in the epilogue, I say that my own experience of living among Arabs encourages me to believe that this polarization, this division that Israel has brought about, is not inevitable, that something that happened in the past that I hope would still… my experience enables me to think outside the box, to think of a better future for our region than the present, dismal state when Israel is conducting a war against the Palestinians and is perpetrating genocide in Gaza, I still believe that a better future is possible, and it should be a future that reverts to the past, to the cosmopolitanism, to the pluralism and to the coexistence between Muslims and Jews that used to exist before the State of Israel was established.

Chris Hedges: You write at the end of the book, “the outcome I have come to favor is one democratic state between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea with equal rights for all its citizens, regardless of ethnicity or religion. This is the democratic one state solution.” You’ve had students on university campuses in the United States who have been arrested for using that term, the river to the sea. But you don’t embrace, as I do not, the two state solution, and you hold out this one person, one vote, this democratic state.

Avi Shlaim: I used to support the two state solution, but Israel has killed it. Israel has killed the two state solution with settlements, ever expanding settlements, by the annexation of East Jerusalem by building the security wall on the West Bank that effectively annexes a large chunk of the West Bank to Israel. So what is left is Arab-Palestinian enclaves on the West Bank, surrounded by the Israeli settlements and military bases, that’s not a basis for a viable state. It’s become fashionable to say that the two state solution is dead. I would say that the two state solution was never born, because no Israeli government since 1967 has offered a formula for a two state solution that would be acceptable to the most moderate Palestinians. And secondly, no American administration has ever pushed Israel towards the two state solution. That’s why I’ve moved towards adopting the one state solution as the only democratic solution. And our students in Oxford have used the slogan from the river to the sea. I’ve supported them all along, against the university authorities who called the police and disbanded them.

The students gave me a t-shirt with the university logo that says, from the river to the sea. In America, you may be arrested for this slogan, but what it means to me is not the dismantlement of… What it means to me is equal rights for all those who live between the river and the sea, equal rights, that’s essential, an essential element of democracy and also freedom for all from the river to the sea. This is the exact opposite of the present situation, when Israel has an apartheid regime over the whole of Mandatory Palestine and the Israeli government is increasingly overtly racist, and the Israeli government today rejects the one state solution, and it’s a Jewish supremacist and an apartheid state, and this situation is completely unacceptable to me, that’s why I uphold the noble vision of one state with equal rights for all its citizens.

Chris Hedges: Great. That was Professor Avi Shlaim on his remarkable book, “Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew.” I want to thank the production team, Sophia [Menemenlis], Thomas [Hedges], Diego [Ramos] and Max [Jones]. You can find me at ChrisHedges.Substack.com.

In every Western nation there is an invisible foreign base more powerful than the military bases the U.S have everywhere…in fact these invisible bases have control over the military bases…these bases are finacal in nature and control everything that happens in the West…it represents people who are amoral and sadistic in nature…they care not for boundaries on anything.

    This malevolent group hide behind foundations and charity but there is not a singlet benevolent bone in their bodies…these foundations and charities control our institutions by donations…as long as the demon is never named.

    Its time to name and identify the people behind this evil and ask them to leave because they’re not citizens and your government doesn’t represent you so the people of the U.S has the right to remove these malevolent forces.

    If you don’t do anything then you have become a Sodom or Gomorrah and will have to suffer your judgement when it comes.

    Its time to be the sand in the oyster, enough using the Ron Unz agony aunt site…its time to list blogs with contrary views and to state our case there.

    Down with the Jewish Mafia Tribe. The genocidal Jewish mafia forced Columbia University President, Minouche Shafik to resign to serve the interest of the Jewish fifth column in America.

    Shame on America and Americans who allow the genocidal Jews determine who is in and who is out.
    Shame on Americans who allow a mafia tribe to CONTROL the educational system, the White House, Senate, Congress, the banking corrupt system, the gambling house, wall street, the Media, the fucking intelligence services and its terrorism. Get out of the Middle East and take your garbage bag and savage DOG, the Khazar out, otherwise they will be destroyed, the sooner the better. These scum of humanity have no relations with either the Palestine nor the region.

    After a little over one year in office, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has resigned, according to a message Shafik sent to the Columbia community.

    “I write with sadness to tell you that I am stepping down as president of Columbia University effective August 14, 2024,” Shafik wrote in a message to the Columbia community. “It has also been a period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community. This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community.”

    Then the Jews who forced her out, said thank you for your services to Jewish mafia tribe.
    Shafik was a COWARD.
    She neither stood up for academic freedom, the professors at Columbia U, nor the right of its students to protest.

    In an email minutes after Shafik’s message, Co-Chairs of the Columbia Board of Trustees David Greenwald and Claire Shipman thanked Shafik for her service and said that they “regretfully accept” her resignation and named Katrina Armstrong, the Dean of Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, as the interim president.

    Another coward and traitor is forced out by the genocidal Jews, yet there is no outcry from the gullible Zionist Americans. When these coward are going to rise up and kick these genocidal mafia tribe out?

    When are you going to FREE your educational system from the genocidal zionists? You are surrounded by traitors. Your politicians including Trump, the Jewish mafia pimp, Harris, FAKE Black and coward and genocidal Biden are ALL traitors working for a foreign country.

    Columbia President Resigns After Months of Turmoil on Campus
    Nemat Shafik is the third Ivy League president to resign in the wake of turbulent congressional appearances and strife connected to the Israel-Hamas war.

    First – This is NOT a war, but a GENOCIDE against Palestinian people and their toddlers by the
    the Jewish mafia members in Gaza including Biden, Harris and Trump, the pimp.

    Second- That was NOT a turmoil, but a protest against genocide of the Palestinian people by the
    zionists who control America and the western land to call the police force to come in.

    Third- The Jewish billionaires asked the university presidents to resign because they did
    not kill the protesters, who mainly were students and professors.

    Shafik wrote that she has been asked by the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom to chair “a review of the government’s approach to international development and how to improve capability.” With the move, Shafik will return to the United Kingdom, where she has spent the majority of her career.

    The fifth column tribe not only forced her out of her job, but they forced her out of the country.

    The truth behind Israeli propaganda on the ‘expulsion’ of Arab Jews
    https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/truth-behind-israeli-propaganda-expulsion-arab-jews

    An excerpt:

    Institutionalised discrimination

    As for the Jews who opted to stay, the Jewish emissary in Aden, Shlomo Schmidt, asked permission to propose that Yemeni authorities expel them, but Yemeni authorities did not.

    Some of the luggage of the departing Jews, including ancient Torah scrolls, jewellery and embroidered garments, which they were encouraged to bring with them, disappeared en route and mysteriously “made their way to antique and souvenir shops in Israel,” according to Segev and other sources.

    About 50,000 Yemeni Jews were essentially removed from Yemen by the Israelis in 1949 and 1950 to face institutionalised Ashkenazi discrimination in Israel. This included the abduction of hundreds of Yemeni children from their parents, who were told the children died; the children were then allegedly handed over for adoption to Ashkenazi couples.

    Zionists were also active in bringing about the emigration of Morocco’s Jews to Israel. Morocco was under French colonial occupation at the time, so the Jewish Agency had to strike an agreement with the French governor of Morocco to bring about the emigration of Moroccan Jews, who had to face horrific conditions on Israeli ships, according to Segev and other sources. Some of the 100,000 Jews who left, according to the Jewish Agency emissary, had to be virtually “taken aboard the ships by force”.

    Meanwhile, the Iraqi government of Nuri al-Said, Britain’s strongman in the Arab east, was maligned by Israeli propaganda that it was persecuting Jews, when in fact these were Israeli fabrications. Zionist agents had been active in Iraq, smuggling Jews through Iran to Israel, which led to the prosecution of a handful of Zionists.

    Then, attacks on Iraqi Jews began, including at the Masuda Shemtov synagogue in Baghdad, killing four Jews and wounding around a dozen more. Some Iraqi Jews believed that this was the work of Mossad agents, aiming to scare Jews into leaving the country. Iraqi authorities accused and executed two activists from the Zionist underground.

    Amid Israel’s global campaign to pressure Iraq into allowing Jews to leave – which led to Israeli attempts to block a World Bank loan to Iraq, accompanied by American and British pressure – the Iraqi parliament relented and issued a law permitting Jews to leave. Zionist agents in Iraq telegraphed their handler in Tel Aviv: “We are carrying on our usual activity in order to push the law through faster.” Iraq’s 120,000 Jews were thus soon transferred to Israel.

    “There was no history of antisemitism in the Arab world. Antisemitism is a European disease,” Shlaim tells Chris Hedges. “In the 1930s, antisemitism was exported from Europe to Iraq in particular, and it’s striking that there was no antisemitic literature in Arabic. So antisemitic literature had to be translated from European languages into Arabic…”

    Hedges, you’re a Marxist-Zionist propagandist. There was antisemitism from the time Moses first took up a sword against the Golden Calf Hebroids, all the way through Christ declaring these same scum the Synagogue of Satan, all the way through the jew Globalist chattel slaving agenda http://disq.us/p/2zyn4t0 all the way through the jew Globalist capital neo-slaving agenda of today.

    This guy is either a buffoon or a real snake. Basically, his solution is no solution; just an ill-conceived fantasy that checks all the liberal boxes and sounds good. He says two states are no longer feasible, but something even more radical than two states is? He’s proposing an annihilation of an explicitly “Jewish state” altogether.

    Ok, great. Now how do you implement that? Well, it’s easy you see… you just ask the Israelis if they are willing to annihilate their explicitly Jewish state and of course they will democratically agree and everyone will live happily ever after.

    So here’s the real question: how are you going to impose any “solution” on a hostile and uncooperative Israeli state and population? I’d like to see these academics solve that problem, but I don’t expect they will.

    The front men for both these organized crime operations are Antony “BlackRock” Blinken and Jacob Jeremiah Sullivan. And as Blinken announced on a visit to Israel, he represents Jews. And specifically implied, Zionist Jews.

    These are the Jews whose “holy” book tells them to rule the subhuman goyim from Jerusalem. Hence, having conquered Europe and America with money, blackmail, and murder, they aspire to also conquer Russia and China, to “finish the job”.

    This ideology is a deadly virus which infects and poisons everywhere it goes. In addition to dragging the “goyim” into its expensive & needless wars it is now attacking the foundation defenses against its tyranny built into the US Constitution, namely the 1st and 4th Amendments, the freedom of thought & speech, and the freedom from warrantless searches & seizures.

But most don’t work since they pray and meet all day and collect welfare. They also don’t serve in the military, something the government is trying to change.

    Israelis with skills and businesses have few children and pay taxes. They also have money so can move overseas, and thousands are leaving. They are tired of the religious crazies who don’t work and pray for World War III.

    “How are you going to impose any ‘solution’ on a hostile and uncooperative Israeli state and population?”

    One possible scenario –

    Israel refuses to agree to a proposed ceasefire in exchange for no retaliation by Iran & company.

    Iran & company hit Israel so hard it is for all practical purposes destroyed.

    The US decides not to attempt to defend Israel since for all practical purposes there is no Israel left to defend.

    (And they don’t want to have their aircraft carrier and multiple bases in the area obliterated.)

    (And Israel’s slaves in Congress privately think, “Whew! I’m glad to have that monkey off my back.”)

    The Jewish Mafia Tribe is not able to live in peace with anyone. The are NOT Semites and have no relations with the land. Israel is a Western PROJECT in Palestine, supported by the British Evil Empire and later by American Evil Empire to have a footstep in the region to steal the resources, through chaos, wars and partition of the regional states. Thus, their aim is NOT peace, but war for geopolitical influence to project power against the old civilizations in the region on behalf of the Evil empires of the West. Thus, they should go back to where they came from and let Palestinians to have their land back. This struggle will be continued until the West and its savage dog are defeated.

    Since the establishment of Hamas, Islamic Resistance Movement in 1987, this movement has received a series of attacks and assassinations, which targeted its founding core and senior members. Most of the assassinations, in the modern history, have been carried out by Israel regime against resistance groups, especially the members of Hamas movement. The Zionists carried out these assassinations directly or indirectly with the coordination of Palestinian Authority, (divide and rule). In the early years of Hamas establishment, when many of its leaders were arrested, especially its’ founder Ahmed Yassin, Mohammad Zaif, Salah Shahadeh, Yahya al-Sanwar and Ruhi Mashtahi, the movement suffered a major blow.
    “Marj al-Zohor” is an operation in which the occupying colonists, Israel, deported 415 members of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movement to Lebanon on December 12, 1992. In 1996, when Yahya Ayash, a prominent engineer of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas movement, was assassinated, they started a policy of terror and pressure on the leaders of Hamas movement.
    About a year later, Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu attempted to assassinate Khalid Meshaal, then head of the movement’s political bureau, in Amman, Jordan’s capital, by Mossad agents, which was unsuccessful and eventually led to a deal. At that time, King Hussein of Jordan informed Netanyahu that if the antidote was not sent to save Khaled Meshaal, then, Mossad agents would be tried in Jordan. Netanyahu eventually agreed and released a number of Palestinian and Jordanian prisoners, including Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, one of the Hamas founders.
    In 1999, Jordan decided to close the offices of the Hamas in Amman, thus, the political office was moved to Doha, the capital of Qatar for several years, then, moved to the capital of Syria, Damascus, and returned to Doha again in 2012.
    With the start of the second intifada, in 2000, the pace of assassination of Hamas sympathizers increased especially in 2003, when Israel assassinated Ismail Abu Shanab, Salah Shehadeh, and Ibrahim al-Maqadame within a few months, and then assassinated Ahmed Yassin in March 2004. Two weeks later, Abdulaziz al-Rentisi, who succeeded Ahmed Yassin was assassinated along with his two bodyguards by a missile fired by Israel’s warplane.
    In July 2006, Israel bombed a house in the Gaza Strip during a meeting of the leaders of Al-Qassam Battalions at that time, where everyone in the house except Abu Salmiya family was killed. At the end of 2008, Hamas movement faced one of its most difficult challenges, when Israel started a war in the Gaza Strip, and then, at the beginning of 2009, Saeed Siam, the founder of Hamas Police, and Nizar Rayyan, two prominent Hamas leaders were assassinated. Mossad in 2010, assassinated Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, one of the prominent leaders of Hamas in UAE, and Hamas entered a complicated phase of its relations with the UAE.
    In 2012, Israel carried out another ASSASSINATION, this time was the second person of the al-Qassam battalions, Ahmed al-Jabari, where started the second war in the Gaza Strip, but ended with a ceasefire. In 2014, there was an assassination campaign in the Gaza Strip, where let to the martyrdom of members of the Supreme Military Council of Al-Qassam Battalions, Raed Al-Attar and Muhammad Abu Shamaleh. But Mohammad Zaif’s assassination failed and his wife and child were martyred.
    The period from 2014 to 2023, the Palestinians witnessed many assassinations, perhaps the most important one was the assassination of Mazen Faqha and Noor Barka in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian engineer Fadi in Malaysia by Shabak
    Jihad Taha, the spokesman of Hamas, said in an interview with al-Arabi al-Jadeed: “There is no doubt that the occupiers carried out many assassinations to weaken and destroy Hamas. But they could not stop the resistance movement.

    After the al-Aqsa storm operation, we witnessed assassination of many political and military leaders of Hamas, such as Osama al-Mozini, Jodat Abu Shamaleh and Zakaria Abu Muammar. In addition to the assassination operation in the southern suburbs of Beirut, which led to the martyrdom of Saleh al-Arouri, Ayman Noufal, the commander of the central al-Qassam brigade, and Ahmed al-Ghandour, the commander of the northern brigade.

For hundreds of years the poor? victimized? jews have been preying upon white nations and people with jewsury, political manipulation, bribery, subversion, perversion and degeneracy and white and black slave trade and sex trafficking and child sacrifice of white Christian infants. They have been expelled hundreds of times from 109 nations.

    In modern times, Jews have conjured up Global totalitarian Communism in numerous countries that has ended in the genocide of over 100 million peoples lives. Not one of their kabalistic ZOG states have ever atoned for their heinous atrocities, paid a shekel in reparations and have never even been held to account for their inhuman atrocities. On the contrary, if anyone even tries to expose their crimes against humanity and their holohoax lies that are castigated in the extreme.

    And here we are treated with headless Hedges having an oh so noble, refined conversation with a jewliar worshiper in the Sinagogue of Satan while his rabid cohorts of Satan are waging an unprecedented worldwide war against all of white western peoples, nations and civilization by means of an uncountable military horde of Kalergi Zionist, Globalist miscegenated migrant invaders.

    Stop getting jewed and tell Hedges to shove a Talmud up his anus.

    Since 1947, Jews (Jewish terrorists or “Zionists”) committed horrific and barbaric acts of terrorism against Jewish communities throughout the Middle East to force them to relocate to “Israel”. In Baghdad Jews were terrorised and haunted. The results were very small communities of Jews are left in the Middle East.
    This form of Jewish terrorism has been adopted against Christians in Palestine, Syria and in Iraq. The aim is to remove Christian history and civilization from the Birth Place of Christianity. During the U.S. occupation of Iraq, the Israeli Mossad in collaboration with ISIS terrorists have committed horrific crimes against Christian communities. Thousands of Christians have been persecuted and murdered by ISIS terrorists and their Israeli (Jews) sponsors. Those who were lucky managed to relocate to other countries, mostly to Europe.

    In 1956, My father and his two brothers had a business exporting “48 Manganese” to Europe. They had built a 220m long steel pier into the Gulf of Suez – in Sinai. When they heard that the Israelis had invaded, they started evacuating their personnel to the other side of the Suez Canal. The last trip was with two trucks carrying workers. My father was in the lead truck. The following truck was ambushed by the Israelis. They murdered 31 of our unarmed workers. The driver and his assistant managed to exit from the other side and escaped. They walked by night and hid by day until the reached the Suez Canal and safety.

    The driver’s assistant, Yusef, worked in our house for some years as a porter. The driver, Deeb (“Wolf” in Arabic) was occasionally to be seen.

    Grade 48 manganese ore is classified as a high-grade manganese ore, containing between 46% and 48% manganese (Mn) content. This classification is significant in the mining and metallurgy industries, as it indicates a higher concentration of manganese, which is essential for steel production and other industrial applications.

    Yet more White Man Bad Deflection Porn.

    Supremacy Inc. = Zionism + Identity Politics (which very much includes Muslims) + White Useful Idiots and Enablers (The White Left, everyone from Chris Hedges to Roger Waters, etc.).

    Their objective is Full Spectrum Dominance of all human and natural resources. Anyone in the way is mercilessly crushed in one way or another, verbally (as in slander, ie; “anti-semitism, Islamophobia, etc.) or nonverbally, as in violence in any form, robbery, rape, murder.

    Supremacy Inc. has made it very clear who is in the way. The White West and Palestinians. That is why they have both been branded in one way or another as terrorists.

    The justification for this is the exact same as that given in the first paragraph of this piece. Whites and Palestinians are so bad they have to be destroyed so that we feel safe.

    When Supremacy Inc. uses it it’s just another example of what we have seen so often from them, psychological projection and moral reversal.

    The White Left, Hedges, Waters, etc. only object when this applies to Palestinians. Not only do they not care when this applies to whites, especially the working poor, but they actively, aggressively participate along with Zionists in that attack.

    Just go online and search Jews and Muslims Natural Allies. TUR contributor Tobias Langdon provided such a list in more than one article. But TUR readers and anyone else can do the same. And when they do they will invariably find The White Left Useful Idiot making an appearance.

    So, what does Zionism, Islam, and the White Left have in common? What is one of their shared interests? The destruction of the West, of course! From this perspective, this article can be readily understood and the overall situation made clear. It is an attempt at social management. The good news in this grim tale is that it is a failed attempt.

    First, it has exposed the blatant hypocrisy of The White Left.
    Gaza Genocide Bad – White Genocide Good.
    Second, it has exposed the opportunism of many powerful Muslims and their proxies on the street who cry Islamohpobia when it suits them to be a team member of Identity Politics. And since Identity Politics (which is really just Zionism for The Coalition) is a part of Supremacy Inc. which includes Zionism, it exposes their hypocrisy as well.
    Third, it has laid bare the obvious power that Zionism has.

    Supremacy Inc. is intellectually, socially, and morally bankrupt. Above all, it is a maladaptive force. Put bluntly, Supremacy Inc. is the disease. A disease that threatens the survival of the human race. What is happening couldn’t be more obvious.

    There has been a falling out among partners in crime since October 7th, 2023. And that falling out has exposed them all. And if there is one thing psychopaths fear and hate above all else, it’s exposure. Hence their insane demand to be placed above criticism, or else.

    So articles like this, and they are everywhere right now, all say the same thing. Come on people! Let’s stay on point and remember who the real enemy is. It’s White Man Bad.

    The problem here is that whenever you have two partners, it is not uncommon for power to pass back and forth. But when there are three, power inevitably shifts to one of them. It is a behavioral constant that one could easily confirm in their daily life, at work or at home, or in geopolitics.

    In this scenario Zionism is without question the most powerful of the three. And Zionism is struggling to remind them of this. All three are as one when it comes to the destruction of the West. But Gaza has damaged that symmetry.

    Everything that is happening right now is about reconciling that alignment so that all three can get back to what for all three is no doubt the heart of the matter – the complete and utter destruction of the West. As Orwell might have put it, everything else is just public relations.

    P.S.

    In the 1930s, antisemitism was exported from Europe to Iraq in particular, and it’s striking that there was no antisemitic literature in Arabic. So antisemitic literature had to be translated from European languages into Arabic…”

    A better example of Jews and Muslims are Natural Allies against the West would be hard to imagine.

    The reason Jews ‘got along better’ with Islamic societies over the centuries, may be related to how Islamic governments were and are significantly more authoritarian. As in modern Iran, whilst led by the Koran to be protective of Jews, Muslims have not considered Jews as total equals, but as a special minority needing to know their place, with lines clearly drawn.

    Amongst Europeans with their looser evolving structures, Jews were able to do quite different things than under Islamic rule, Jews were able to get richer and more dominant, but there has been and is significant backlash as well – very different dynamic than under Muslim governments.

    As Jewish scholars themselves note, Islam is much closer to Judaism than Christianity, with Islam’s heavy legalism and endless scholarship parsing religious rules, even tho both Islam and Christianity seem to be Jewish creations. Muslims don’t like to hear it, but Islam is one of the most Jewishy things out there outside of Judaism.

    Christianity did help demolish the Jews’ great enemy, the Western Roman Empire, but Byzantium, having not forgotten Greek wars with Jews in pre-Roman Palestine, placed severe restrictions on Jews. For Jews desiring a change, Islam fit the bill of giving Jews an army of other Semites, to help boot Christians out of Palestine. And Islam was specifically chartered with Jews having an honoured place amongst Muslims, better than under the more demeaning restrictions under Christian Constantinople. And then Jews backed the Muslim takover of Spain as well – Islam the preferred vehicle in earlier times when there wasn’t ‘Christian Zionism’, until the modern era when a group of whites became the new army serving Jews.

    Not long after Islam was founded, Rabbi Simon ben Yohai intimated the role of Jews in founding Islam to help counter Byzantine restriction of Jews, see the book ‘Hagarism: Jewish Foundation of Islam’ for details. See Marcus Eli Ravage for Jewish boasting about founding Christianity:

  55. Scanning it, this piece is an improvement over the Zionist narrative — but is itself a distortion.

    For example, where is the 1941 Baghdad pogrom? 180 Jews were killed in that — seven years before Israel was founded, and when Zionists were supposedly uninterested in Iraqi Jews. Of course, this was connected indirectly with unrest over the Zionist project — the Jews were seen as allied to the British — but it also suggests that relations between Jews and gentiles in Iraq were not, in fact, all sweetness and light before 1948.

    The 1840 Damascus affair? There were connections to the West — but the local Christians and Muslims were certainly willing to attack Jews.

    I’m fairly confident someone more informed in the subject could find further examples. Antisemitism in the Muslim world may well have been milder and less pervasive than it was in the Christian West — but it’s not accurate to claim it was absent entirely.

    The truth is rarely black-and-white — nor is it necessarily what we would like it to have been. The past doesn’t rearrange itself to suit our narrative of the moment. This is true both for Zionists and anti-Zionists.

    OK, “Antisemitism” is part of the headline article, then the discussion – but the word itself is a lie

    “When I use a word… it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”

    Jews are *not* Semites, they use it as a weapon to bludgeon opponents, but ((they)) have no Semitic part to their genome, because *not* descended from the ME rather the steppes north of the Caucasus. Assertions to the contrary are also lies and I, for one, am finished with liars or discussions based on lies.

    Neither group seem to like Christians very much and persecute them when able. I knew an Assyrian, family came from Iraq, who got a vicarious kick out of Israel drubbing Muslim Arabs. Assyrians, being Christian and not considering themselves to be Arabic, have been brought to the verge of extinction in their land of origin thanks to persecution and being forced to leave. One doesn’t get 95% Muslim in a country without various forms of coercion and even the Muslims, Shia and Sunni, have fought each other. Of course, much of the Arab world were under the Ottomans for a long time so that had an effect on the way the different groups related until the Arabs could come into their own and start running things themselves. A Christian was a Dhimmi under the Muslim Ottomans, not a great position to be in. Saying things were a Shangri-La in the Muslim world for non-Muslims is absurd. Perhaps this person’s family, being wealthy, was an asset and so got special treatment. Christians, not so much historically.

    It is very sad to notice that useful idiots like Shlaim, Zelensky,Blinken and Nuland are being used by the American antisemites in the bloodshed between Ukraine and Russia. It is clear that Russia has to be punished for its prominent role in defeating Nazi-Germany.

    There was no history of antisemitism in the Arab world. Antisemitism is a European disease,” Shlaim tells Chris Hedges. “In the 1930s, antisemitism was exported from Europe to Iraq in particular, and it’s striking that there was no antisemitic literature in Arabic. So antisemitic literature had to be translated from European languages into Arabic…”

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/sheikh-mohamed-sayyid-tantawi-controversial-imam-who-preached-tolerance-1923670.html

    Tantawi is reported, however, to have called Jews “the enemies of Allah, descendants of apes and pigs” in a 2002 sermon, and in an age when Catholic Popes combated such stereotypes, Tantawi reinforced them.

    In his book Banu Isra’il fil Quran wa as-Sunnah [The Children of Israel in the Quran and the Traditions of The Prophet Mohamed] he wrote, “The Quran ascribes to Jews particularly degenerate characteristics, viz. slaying Allah’s prophets, corrupting His words … consuming the people’s wealth inappropriately … Not all Jews are the same. The good ones (like Shlaim!! ha ha ha!!) become Muslims. The bad do not.”

    He was definitely right about these kikes there’s no doubt about that.

  73. christine hedges doesn’t understand that the European-jew-experience when analyzed from a pro European perspective ALSO exposes the myths of European “anti semitism”.

    Fact is the jews in Europe/Ukraine/Russia, always fucked over their hosts for the benefit of their tribe….they did this in the past and they are doing so today.

    In the past:
    -jews charged punishing usury against Europeans to dominate banking and commerce
    -jews used ethnic networking to get advantage over their hosts…but then whined like bitches when their hosts dared to also use in group preference (“oye vey, the evil anti seemite Europeans are discriminating against us poooor oppressed jews”)
    -jews monopolized the alcohol industry in Slavic nations and ruined countless lives by promoting alcoholism among their goy hosts
    -jews got countless Europeans killed in ww1 because they wanted Palestine (Balfour Agreement)
    -jews were middle men minorities…abusing the European/Ukrainian/Russian masses and then being protected by European royalty (for a fee).
    -jewish bolshevists murdered millions of Europeans when they pushed communism and then started mass killings against their hosts

    Today:
    -jews push anti White hostility in the west (because they fear/hate White gentiles)
    -jews push mass non White immigration to the west (because they fear/hate White gentiles)
    -jews push for war against Russia (because they fear/hate White gentiles)
    -jews push an israel firster middle east policy on western nations (to give israel hegemony in the middle east)

    So, the MYTH that the Europeans were “anti semitic” for no reason at all or for unimportant reasons, is just that, a myth.

    But christine hedges won’t go to bat for his own people. He is too much of a fag for that. He will go to bat for everyone EXCEPT his own tribe. Fecking judaized nitwit that he is.

    In our community a Jewish organization planned a Jewish culture event (with bands, etc.) at a private home, and got a permit from the town for 250 guests/tickets. This was not in a business district.

    Instead they sold 700 tickets and there were more than 700 guests.

    When the town select board called them out for their infraction and locals agreed, the Jews accused everyone of being antisemitic. Especially those who observed that everyone should obey the rules equally were attacked with comments such as “You are antisemitic” accusations to aggrieved challenges “Why are you criticizing a great festival of Jewish culture where everyone had a lot of fun? Why don’t you care about X [something else entirely]?”

    Obviously, they think they don’t have to follow rules if they consider themselves as just having good clean Jewish fun and will create an unpleasant atmosphere and put people on the defensive if anyone insists that they do follow the rules.

    So, to answer your question, prosecuting for rape by a Jew is indeed “antisemitic” (snark)

    And in fact this is probably true because rape by a Jew surely reinforces already existing negative impressions.

    As usual, even here on the UNZ, the US/NATO bombing of Serbia and the consequences it caused is forgotten, so the attached map is also incomplete.

    In the 78 days that the NATO aggression against Serbia lasted, the Alliance carried out 26,100 flights, of which 18,170 were combat aircraft, and carried out 2,300 airstrikes against civilian objects, industrial and chemical plants, bridges, infrastructure…

    In that spring of 1999, 415,000 missiles with a total weight of 22,000 tons were thrown at Serbia, and as many as 112 strikes were carried out with depleted uranium ammunition, and according to NATO’s admission, 31,000 uranium missiles were fired, and according to Russian sources, 90,000, which is about 300 tons of this highly carcinogenic material. . Almost half of those attacks were in the last 10 days of aggression.

    Apart from the immediate destruction, the use of depleted uranium munitions and the environmental disaster caused by NATO bombing power lines, industrial and chemical plants, sowed death as it undeniably caused an increased incidence of malignant and autoimmune diseases.

    Doctors from various fields, above all oncologists, claim that the fact that NATO sowed poisons throughout Serbia with its depleted uranium bombs, which went into the air, water, soil and entered the food chain, led to a drastic increase in the number of people suffering from malignant diseases – by almost 30 percent.

    The result of NATO bombing is:
    4,000 people died
    12,500 people wounded and injured
    30 percent of Serbia’s energy capacity was totally destroyed
    25,000 residential buildings were destroyed
    470 kilometers of roads were destroyed
    595 kilometers of railway were destroyed
    100 billion dollars is the first estimated material damage

    Shafik is a typical jellyback, the type which makes the Jewintern’s terror so much easier. In contrast, in Melbourne, of all places, a very Jewintern controlled city, some spine is being shown.
    A local pianist played a piece dedicated to the slaughtered (often with their families) Gazan journalists, and made a little speech concerning it. Instantly the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra administrative scum, cancelled his coming recital, gibbering about it having been ‘inappropriate’.
    Whether this was Jewintern agents in the MSO acting directly, or the result of the usual frenzy of abuse that accompanies ANY mention of Zionazi crimes, we may never know. But, surprisingly, given the vengefulness of the Jewintern, the members of the MSO, the musicians, revolted, and demanded an inquiry. A band, Cat Empire, also cancelled a show at the MSO auditorium.
    It does seem as if they really have gone too far this time. While our politicians are divided between ‘Labor’ invertebrates, who utter increasingly rare, mealymouthed, pleas for Israel to, please, kindly slaughter fewer babies and the LNP psychopaths who are 1000% behind the slaughter, no doubt expecting millions in shekels and, possibly, some Zionazi election rigging expertise, in return, no hope is in sight.
    In fact the racist vermin of the LNP, led by their human suppository leader, Dutton, have launched a truly villainous campaign to stop ALL Gazans with relatives in Australia, from fleeing to safety here, because they all ‘support’ the Hamas ‘terrorwists’ (ie the Judaic concept of collective guilt, anathema to the mythical ‘rules based International order’), and, besides, Murdoch’s MSM cancer says ‘go for it’.

    Relative to this, the Arab Jews lived in a time warp, having adapted very successfully (with all the abuses/reactions needed) to economic and social life in predominantly Muslim societies. Thus it is small wonder that they weren’t historically/culturally privy to European goings-on, except as a result of the Imperialist jockeying for petroleum and later to the related WWII contestations in North Africa and the Middle East.

    The Hebrews aka the Jews used to live in peace with the Arabs just like Christian’s and Druzes and other minorities. BUT they were not allowed to preach their religion or to convert Muslims into their religion. Marriage with a Muslim meant conversion to Islam or death. Because of these Laws implemented Christians and Hebrews who were the majority in the ME became minorities although this took hundreds of years. Put humans of different cultures into a certain space and they will mix and intermarriage .
    The Islamic laws makes sure that Islam always wins when this happens.
    In Europa the majority of converts into Islam are the result of mixed marriages.
    These laws by it self are a form of longterm planning and very smart way of absorbing minorities in to your own culture and religion . They are a very smart slow form of genocide. Zoroaster religion in Iran for example got whipped out mainly through mixed marriages although there is also evidence of pogroms and forced conversions.
    The Hebrews in Shitrahel knows that living under Islamic Laws means a slow extinction so they created a ethno state which is necessary for their survival.

    The Jews who “historically enjoyed better relations with Muslims” were not “different Jews.” They were FEWER Jews and with no political power.

    I don’t think that “sweetness and light” is how any host nation would ever characterize their relations with Jews and, equally, Jews would never characterize their life in “Galut” as anything other than an uninterrupted suffering and persecution “just for being Jews” so you needn’t beat this dead imaginary horse.

It could be argued that Israel was set up (by the Rothschilds!) in order to create a modern shibboleth around which Western Jewry could display its tribal loyalty. Jews were manipulated and used, but in most cases, willingly and not without benefit.

    Certainly Judaism as a religion has more or less ceased to serve as a glue binding secular Jews together. All that’s left is Israel, the Holocaust, and a conviction that they are unreasonably and collectively hated. Ergo, they cling to these like mad cats. Without them, they have no ethnic identity to speak of.

    Relative to this, the Arab Jews lived in a time warp, having adapted very successfully (with all the abuses/reactions needed) to economic and social life in predominantly Muslim societies. Thus it is small wonder that they weren’t historically/culturally privy to European goings-on, except as a result of the Imperialist jockeying for petroleum and later to the related WWII contestations in North Africa and the Middle East. Thus it is small wonder that the politics of Western Zionism regarding them was based on a ruthless prizing of them out of their comfortable adaptive existence.

    Here, it’s worth noting the misleading effect of the notion that ‘Jews’ are a monolithic group. As the domestic travails of Israel show if one bothers to look, very little actually unites everyone who is called Jewish. The various groups in Israel won’t even let their children go to school with each other — let alone with Palestinians. A California lawyer, a Williamsburg rabbi, and Yemeni Jew are not all from the same people. They share about as much with each other as you and I would with an Iranian peasant who happened to be a Nestorian Christian.

    ‘…I don’t think that “sweetness and light” is how any host nation would ever characterize their relations with Jews and, equally, Jews would never characterize their life in “Galut” as anything other than an uninterrupted suffering and persecution “just for being Jews” so you needn’t beat this dead imaginary horse.
    How that false premise would remotely “imply that the blame lies not with Jews, but entirely with Christians” escapes me.’

    Go back; read more carefully. I was quite clear about what I said — but you appear to have assumed I was saying something else and found it there.

  109. Fascinating interview.

    Lavon Affair in Egypt was perhaps prototyped in Iraq? Or, was it? There was a close relationship in the 1930s between some factions of British Mandate Palestine Zionist/Jewish elements and the Nazis of Germany. At one point Zionist elements of British Mandate Palestine (BMP) urging the Nazis to “step it up” to drive more Jews out of Nazi Germany into BMP. This information by Lenni Brenner and in his book “Zionism in the Age of Dictators.” The 1930s being an era of some cooperation between the Nazis and Zionists to achieve their individual goals. The Hasbara or the Exchange it was called.

    The one item I would call not fully informed by Hedges and Shalim is why antisemitism is more robust in Europe rather than in Arab countries of West Asia/Middle East. I was supplied this information listening to an interview between E Michael Jones by a fellow on Rumble entitled Unspeakable Meme dated about 11 August, 2024. What the Europeans allowed the Jews the Muslim Arabs were a bit more strict with, and that feature was usury. The allowance or ignoring of usury in Europe contributed to facilitating more Jewish manipulation of European society and government. Usury was not tolerated by Islamic rulers in Islamic countries especially so if their Jewish population wanted to practice it on a national scale.

    So, when Shalim states antisemitism in Europe was more pronounced in Christian Europe because the Jews did not accept Jesus as Messiah I find that part of the Hedges/Shalim interview a bit tone deaf. I lived quite a bit, been to many different types of churches, in different eras, and more than a few countries and continents and I have never heard an antisemitic sermon. Frankly the antisemitic sermon is a snipe hunt. Most antisemitic outbursts seem to result from non Jewish population catching Jewish hands in the proverbial cookie jar.

    Thinking of the film “The Godfather” perhaps Muslim nations and governments took the Corleone advice to, “Keeps friends close, and enemies closer” a bit more to heart and this was more capably practiced than in Christian Europe. When one keeps an enemy close one needs to keep in mind that works for the living benefit of the one in charge, and the perceived enemy.

    One last thing. I’ve been to Israel multiple times. I think if one exams their Declaration of Independence one will note there is no Mizrahi (Arab Jew) signature. And having been to Israel that much I do recall one time being in Ra’anana (sic) near Tel Aviv and listened to an older Jewish lady of Yemeni decent grieving decades later that her child was taken from her after delivery, declared dead, but in reality was shuttled into some type of program to expose her baby to Ashkenazi Jewry to make the child more acceptable to the Zionist/European push of the country.

    We have many opinions in common, Chris, and please understand that
    I have differences with Chris Hedges, but I remain unconvinced that he
    is a Zionist or Marxist. The fact of his employment by the NYT and his
    acceptance of the conventional view of 9/11, are not proof that he
    he is a Marxist or Zionist.

    Israel is in no way a Marxist State. It is a racist, Jewish supremacist
    entity, which places it in opposition to Marx, who as you know, was
    an anti-Semite despite his Jewish ancestry. Some of the early
    founders of Israel were communists, but today they are a small,
    insignificant faction.

  111. More of the same lies from jews and judaized lefttards:

    jews/lefttards: “It’s not jews and jewish supremacy for the mass murder of innocents in Gaza….it is White gentiles and White supreeeemacy!!!!

    jews/lefttards: “It’s not jews, israel, the AIPAC, the ADL, other jewish ngos and jewish power controlling US middle east policy….it’s the other way around, it’s that israel is the “US aircraft carrier in the middle east.””

    Such absolute atrocious lies. jewish thought and by extention, judaized western leftism are anti logic, anti reason, and anti truth.

    This is why the west is crumbling. We should be logical, using reason and consistency.

    Logic example: as blacks attack all of us…Whites, hispanics, asians, etc, we should bust them, throw them in jail and throw away the key. But jewish/judaized leftist thought is NOT logical. Their “solution” is to let blacks continue to slaughter innocents without any consequence. Again, jewishness/judaized leftism is anti logic.

    Think about any ruling class (read JEWISH) policy in the west. They are almost all based on anti logic, anti reason, and anti truth.

    This shit essay by christine hedges and the lying anti White jew is just more of that. It is full of lies blaming imaginary White gentile “boogeymen” rather than the jewish supremacists responsible for US policy and for jewish genocide against innocent civilians in Gaza (and now the West Bank too).

    A few years ago, some pranksters posted signs in a liberal Boston suburb that read “Islam is right about women”.

    The townspeople didn’t know how to react. On the one hand, the signs praised Muslims, a sacred minority. On the other hand, they seemed to indicate that Muslim societies are misogynist and that this misogyny is somehow correct.

    Eventually when someone reported the signs to the police, they couldn’t come up with a coherent reason why, simply saying the signs felt offensive.

    The genius of the ‘Islam is right about women’ stunt

    Posters bearing that message have appeared in a town in Massachusetts. No one knows how to react.

    Trolling the woke left has become a popular pastime. It can be clever and funny, but it can just as often be a crude attempt to elicit outrage for its own sake. Rarely, however, does something show up that is easily dismissed as ‘trolling’, but which is so remarkably incisive and apt that it rises not only to the level of satire, but borders on civil disobedience.

    Think of Posie Parker’s billboards quoting the dictionary definition of the word ‘woman’. The power of such acts comes from two things. First, they acknowledge – usually with irreducible simplicity – that something that went without saying a moment ago has suddenly become unsayable. Secondly, the outrage they provoke does not come from any epithet, caricature or insult, but rather from having the nerve to draw the viewer’s attention to an act of cognitive dissonance that we are all engaging in, but would rather not acknowledge.

    The result is that those who attempt to explain why the act is offensive end up simply tying themselves in knots, while revealing that they have never given a moment’s thought to the position they find themselves defending. This seems to generate even more anger, with the inevitable online mob quickly joined by politicians, journalists and other public figures, eager to see that the heretic is made an example of.

    At their best, these acts of public disobedience are examples of real-life Winston Smiths pointing out to the rest of us that ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four’. Their persecutors, like his, are those who know and fear the truth of Smith’s next sentence: ‘If that is granted, all else follows.’

    The example of perfectly crafted dissent that I’d like to submit here appears in this video from Massachusetts local TV news, showing some reactions to the fly-posting of white sheets of paper bearing the statement ‘Islam is right about women’. The reactions are deeply revealing. Nobody can clearly point out why they object to the statement – indeed, nobody seems to object to the statement at all on its face. Yet most seem to express offence at it – if a little unconvincingly.

    The reason for their dilemma is obvious enough to anyone who has been paying attention. Western society has managed to convince itself (at least in public) that any statement criticising any aspect of Islam is, by definition, bigotry. As a result, Western societies have effectively decided to enforce Islamic restrictions on blasphemy, and called it ‘tolerance’.

    The strain of conforming to this lie is evident in the fumbling attempts by the interviewees to explain their objections. Do they believe that Islam is right about women? If so, why the objection? Do they believe that Islam is wrong about women? If so, in what sense is the statement an attack on Islam or Muslims? Do they believe that the author of the poster is saying that ‘Islam is right about women’, but doing so ironically? In which case, the objection can only be that the author is guilty of a thoughtcrime by stating that ‘two and two make five’ with insufficient sincerity. Or do they worry that they are guilty of thoughtcrime for noticing the irony?

    I think the source of the objection is as follows: ‘I thought we had all agreed to pretend not to have any negative opinions about Islam. But this statement forces me either to agree with it, which I don’t, or disagree with it, which I’m not allowed to.’

    The result is utter confusion on the part of the interviewees about how to signal their obedience to the unspoken lie. One woman, who struggles to explain why she found the posters ‘upsetting’, nevertheless, ‘ripped them down, took them to the police, and alerted social media’.

    The situation is a beautiful inversion of the analogy set out in the iconic essay ‘The Power of the Powerless’ by Václav Havel, in which a greengrocer puts up a sign in his window that says ‘Workers of the world, unite!’. Rather than being the result of any deeply held ideological conviction, the sole purpose of the sign is to signal his obedience to authority, which he hopes will afford him the right to be left in peace.

    In Czechoslovakia in 1978, it was a sign placed in a shop window. In the suburbs of Boston in 2019, it is confused expressions of ‘offence’ that can’t quite be pinned down or explained, but which must nevertheless be expressed in public, and reported to the police. The confused rambling is unsurprising since, as Havel explains, subjugating oneself to ideological conformity in return for a quiet life can only be achieved by abdicating one’s reason.

    Such abdication grinds down the ideologically obedient citizen, because it reduces life to a purely material existence, in which moral integrity and human dignity must be sacrificed in order to keep the state off one’s back and oneself in a job. This is a fate which Havel suggested might one day befall the West if it were ever to succumb to the ‘profane trivialisation of humanity’ required to live within a lie rather than challenge it. With police now calling on citizens to ‘check their thinking’, and people regularly losing jobs over social-media posts, who can say that we have not reached it?

    Jews do not recognize gentile courts or justice but are forced to “go along” with the court systems in the various western countries that they reside in.

    When their criminal activities are noticed and prosecuted, they feign ignorance, a language barrier or some other trite excuse to attempt to minimize their culpability.

    Jews recognize rabbinical courts only, which are perversions of real justice as these rabbinical courts even claim dominance over gentiles, as double standards abound.

    In the rabbinical court system:

    –A jew murdering a gentile is not ever a crime

    –A gentile murdering a jew (even in self-defense) IS a crime no matter the circumstances. A sentence of death is automatically applied.

    –Rape of a jewish girl by a gentile is punishable by death.

    –Rape of a gentile girl by a jew is not considered a crime at all as the gentile girl is considered to be “unclean”. In fact, is such cases, the gentile girl is considered to be guilty, the sentence being death.

    –Robbing a gentile is not considered to be a crime as gentiles are subhuman according to talmudic teachings.

    –Robbing a jew is considered to be a capital crime with punishment of death.

    –Stealing from a jew warrants a death sentence.

    –stealing from a gentile is not stealing at all as jews take claim over all gentile possessions.

    The jewish system of “justice” is not “justice” at all but is jewish supremacy in action.

  114. @Richard B

    I completely agree. And they must be not only stopped, but utterly eradicated. It’s the single most pernicious ideology to ever curse the Earth,

    “It took Europe much longer than it took the Arab world to accept the Jews as equal citizens…”

    Of course it did! This is because you’re two supremacist, collectivist peas in a sand-filled pod! It’s no accident that Jews created communism, nor is it to be wondered why Muslims make common cause with Marxists. Their ideology is the same: the group is all that matters; the individual is expendable. Their goal is the same: exterminate the white/Christian kafir/goyim, because we stand in the way of their desert demon gods’ promises of world domination, simply by existing.

    Arabs. Jews. Both Semites. Both supremacists. Both murderous toward the entire rest of the world. Both brandishing stacks of old pieces of paper they themselves wrote, claiming those papers grant them the right to murder everyone who will not accept their slavery. “Our God Said So.

    For the good of humanity as a whole, it’s long past time this menace was wiped from the Earth, utterly and entirely. KEEP IN MIND: No such thing would be necessary if these fucking vermin were willing to live in peace with the rest of us. But, as they’ve demonstrated for THOUSANDS of years, they are NOT.

    Losing about 5% of the world’s population, in order that the remaining 95% finally have a chance of lasting peace and prosperity, is an acceptable tradeoff at this point. It’s not the preferred outcome, but the preferred outcome – Semites fuck off back to their desert and leave the rest of us alone – is simply not going to happen. Psychopaths never stop trying to victimize the rest of the world. It’s in their nature. They’ve actually told us this, repeatedly. “We will rule you, and if you refuse, we will kill you.” This is the singular message of Semites to the entire rest of the world, for practically as long as they have existed.

    The essential nature of Semites makes them incompatible with humanity as a whole. The sooner we admit this hard truth to ourselves, the sooner we can do what needs to be done.

    Israel is in no way a Marxist State. It is a racist, Jewish supremacist entity, which places it in opposition to Marx, who as you know, was
    an anti-Semite despite his Jewish ancestry.

    So Marx was racist against jews even though he was half jewish. (Sounds pretty schizophrenic.) And yet his Marxism, as Bolshevism, murdered millions of Christians for their anti-Synagogue of Satan faith. So Marx was an anti-religous, hyper-materialist, operative of the Synagogue of Satan? A golden calf voodooist? A theological Satanist?

    Yes, that’s exactly what he was. And that’s what Fat Hedges is too.

    And what about the Judeofascists Israelis and the other Marxist-Zionist “Western” parties that did 9/11, along with the Wahhabi Petrodollar Islamofascists cell that did 9/11 for the Saudi regime and the Synagogue of Satan goal of global Petrodallar/Eurodollar hegemony at gunpoint (same as the motive behind the Ukraine war)?

    In fact, I know they are Satanists, because they all worship golden calf voodoo. They’re an anti-Christ, Synagogue of Satan.

    Thanks; I’ll put him on my radar for later, but you’re correct – he’s a traitor to his own people, his own NATION. (A country is lines on a map, a political and economic construct. A nation is bloodlines.) And I’m in no mood to listen to this petulant, insipid cuck prattle on about Muh Huwhyte Supremacies.

    Prior to (((Franz Boas))) taking over anthropology with his (((Marxist))) propaganda, sometimes described as “Paintjob Theory,” we understood that there were real differences between the various races of humans, caused by thousands of years of evolving under different environmental and societal pressures. Although, it’s not at all surprising that Jews relentlessly push the idea of “everyone’s exactly the same” on the rest of the world. To them, we ARE all the same: filthy goyim, fit only to service G-d’s (un)Holy (self)Chosen Jews.

    It appears the Zionist Ashkenzi would prefer a racist enclave in Europe however their dogma insists that they must rule the world from Jerusalem. The contradictions they impose upon themselves are fundamentally deep and likely self destructive. Maybe the only way to deal with these contradictions is to remain maniacally focused on exploiting and destroying everything around you while you wait for some outside force to reconcile it for you?

    You’ve nailed not only the schizophrenia of the jew Zionist, but of the jew Marxist. And by extension, the Marxist-Zionist ideology and state of being.

    When their schizophrenia finally and completely breaks their minds, they have what I call the “jew stroke” and either become compliant little zoglodytes (compliant, but deeply mentally disturbed), or vicious, psychotic gurus. They use the Marxist-Zionist state (Big Brother) to give as many subjects the “jew stroke” as possible. This is why the populations they rule over come to resemble insane asylums.

    When the populations they rule over inevitably rebel, they find a pretext to mass kill them, rape them, torture them, etc.

    These Golden Calf Ponzi Judeofascists are incredibly disturbed and dangerous “people” — a mortal threat to themselves and others.

    Moses understood that, and did something about it.

    But there currently is no “outside force” that will reconcile the jews, because as Satanists, they can’t turn to the man who named the Synagogue of Satan, Moses heir, Jesus Christ.

    Or can they? Maybe we’re in the “Second Coming” right now. Not Masada End Times (the Judeofascist fantasy) but the Second Coming.

    LOL. You dumb kike. Two tier is correct.

    For all the “strategic planning” of you anti White jews you are so proud of, you apparently haven’t thought through…..what happens when a bunch of blacks, asians and mestizos are the majority of the US…..exactly how are you kikes going to convince them to keep fighting your battles for you in the middle east?

    In addition, do you really think the US will be a “world power” when it is run by low iq blacks, low iq mestizos, combined with semi intelligent street shitters, and relatively intelligent east asians?

    What is going to keep together this fractured country of competing races/ethnicities/religions?

    Your kike propaganda? Really shlomo.
