How can you tell if
you're getting the full story?

If you know what to look for, you'll start to see it.  Look for the questions not asked.  Listen for inconsistencies. 

You'll be surprised how often people contradict themselves, even in the same sentence. Look for the lack of statistics on the other side of their issues like they'll mention Israeli casualties but not Palestinian casualties.  Look for denials of humanity or existence. Look for euphemisms like the "so-called Occupied Territories" or the "few illegal settlements /outposts".   There is nothing "so-called" about it.  Under international law they are occupied and every settlement outside the green line, (the UN established border of Israel in 1948) is illegal and in direct violation of the 4th Genev a Convention and the Rome Statues. 

Suicide Bombers

When military deaths are part of suicide bombings the US media will use the word Israeli and on occasion, worshippers to misdirect people when military personnel are targeted.  If civilians are actually killed, they will say civilians and generally leave out the fact military people were also involved.  Contrary to the American perception, a majority of suicide bombings do target military objectives:  where they hang out, specific persons responsible for attacks on their own, in transit (public buses are used to move troops rather than military transports) or where they congregate, not civilians.  This is easy enough to prove reading Ha'aretz daily, which will make the distinctions the US press purposely omits. 

The Settlers

As for the settlers packaged as hardy pioneers doing their duty for Israel, the settlers are in fact squatters. There is no altruistic purpose and they are in fact criminals according to UN statutes.  Each family receives up to $30,000.00 US dollars to break International Law and occupy the illegal settlements, which hoard precious resources like water for a few, while allowing hundreds of thousands to go without. These are the people celebrating the death of American Rachel Corrie.  Dangerous, elitist and raised on entitlement, they  pride themselves on their hatred. 

The Law vs Propaganda

Under International Law, an occupied people have the right to fight back against their occupiers by whatever means at their disposal. Suicide bombing, when targeting an occupying power on occupied land or military targets within the occupying country are not war crimes, though Israel is lobbying to make them such.

Suicide bombers, though not to our liking are not war crimes. Genocide, collective punishment and apartheid are.  These are committed by Israel, not the Palestinians.  With very few exceptions, the targets of suicide bombs are military and the settlers who imprison, target and kill the population of the OT.  The only way the suicide bombings will end, the Palestinians have made this very clear, is when Israel leaves their land and returns to the land given to them in 1948 behind the green line. Israel and Israel alone has the power to end the terror; it can end it today.  Israel chooses not to. 

This is a critical point. 

Americans, because of the way this battle is spun see the Israelis as the victims, so we feel sorry for them and stand up for them.  The Israelis are not the victims and since 1946 have rarely earned the moniker of victims.  Even from its inception, the Israeli Army outnumbered the combined forces of all Arab nations 3:1.  In the first years of its history it ethnically cleansed 750,000 Arabs of Christian and Muslim faiths from its lands and perpetrated 24 documented massacres of women, children and men by 1954, the most notorious being Deir Yassin.  Since the day of its inception, May 1, 1948, Israel has been in violation and in breach of its contract with the world and the aggressor. This is indisputable and well documented. It is also terribly inconvenient to a nation that must be seen as eternal victims to maintain its image and lifestyle. The rest of the world knows it.  The US remains ignorant.

Zionism & White Supremacy

Read The Jews of Iraq for an eye opening first hand account of the racism driving the birth of Israel and the current prejudices still in effect which treat Sephardic Jews, (Arab) as second class citizens simply because of the color of their skin and non-Jews as inhuman.  Zionism is akin to white supremacy.  Same principles involved as well as objectives; Zionists don't burn crosses or wear white sheets, but the results are the same.  White supremacists hides behind Christianity in the name of "racial purity" and quote passages in the Old Testament to substantiate this.  Unfortunately for them, according to Jesus, those passages are null and void.  Christianity filters the Old Testament through the New which is why Judaism and Christianity do not celebrate the same holidays or follow the same traditions. Jesus taught segregation and racism were un-Christian and against God. It was part of the world when a chosen people existed, but Jesus told his followers a chosen people, or any special people no longer exist.  To be "chosen" per say, God told all people via Jesus they must now choose to choose him.  Every human has until the day they die to to this, making all men equal.  This is a core principle in Christianity and something Zionism forces Christians to ignore.  You cannot be a racist and be Christian.  It is impossible.

Zionism also hides behind Judaism in the name of "Jewish white Supremacy".  Again the "Jews of Iraq" does the best job of explaining it. The more you learn, the more you will see there is no difference and these two groups occasionally collaborate.

Why Arabs "Hate" Americans

According to International Law, Israel exists as  the victimizer and it is its decisions, policies and oppression that cause the violence.  It is American tax dollars and protection that make it possible. We underwrite it and we support it, therefore we are equally culpable. This is why the Arab world is furious with the United States; we fund and support mass murder and the longest running holocaust in history and then we have the nerve to tell them, when they are the oppressed without an army, social services and sometimes basic needs including food and water, they have to fix it? That's like telling the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto they need to stop the German army and they are responsible for the invasion of Poland. Same situation, different date and geography.

The fact is, either through proxy via Israel for 56 years or directly now in Iraq and Afghanistan, Americans kill their children, their families and their culture.  Can't imagine why the Arab world would be pissed off at us, can you? They certainly don't hate our "freedom".  That freedom, specifically the First Amendment is the only thing that will save them.  Thinking Americans know the best way to end terrorism is get rid of the oppression, racism and apartheid that causes it. Unfortunately this is not part of Kerry or Bush's plan, placing the responsibility for dealing with the root causes of terrorism rather than hacking at the branches resulting from the root causes, on the American and Israeli people.  In both cases these governments are supposed to be working for the people of their respective nations rather than us working for them.  Minor point but major impact.

The American people are good people who oppose atrocities when we know about them as are the majority of Israelis not ensnared by Jewish supremacy.  Hate is learned.  Nobody is born with it. The Arab world has the truth and morality on its side and know once Americans figure this out, the money transfusions to Israel will end and Israel will be forced to make peace with its neighbors. End of conflict.  End of genocide.  End of suicide bombers. 

Even Osama bin Laden has stated this, that it is US policies in the Middle East and our blind support of Israel's genocide that constitute his reasons for hating us. When the reason for the hate is removed, so is the hate. Unfortunately the few television interviews he's stated this in, our media edited out these facts. However, his statements do exist in the full transcripts.

Israel has 600 weapons of mass destruction, the fourth largest army in the world and a military second only to our own in technology.  The Palestinians have no army, have never had an army and fight with rocks, smuggled guns and the abysmal suicide bombers. Do you honestly believe the Israelis are the victims here?  An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind, as Dr. Martin Luther King Junior so eloquently pointed out. 

The Faith Issues

Yes, the problem of millennialism/dispensationalism or Christian Zionism and its apostasy from the faith continues to corrupt the Christian church thus allowing this to continue; but this is an issue which must be dealt from within and organizations including Straight Gate and Multiplying Churches are addressing it one Christian at a time. Most Christian Zionists don't know any better; they continue to do what they are taught by people including Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Billy Graham and others who benefit financially, politically and through power by promoting Zionism.

Judaism is also struggling with this issue; groups including Jewish Witnesses for Peace and Torah True Jews continue to educate their own. Like Christianity, Judaism must deal with its own falling away from within.  Zionism requires core deviations from both faiths and a complete denial of each faith's core teachings, the teachings that make Judaism, Judaism. And the teachings that make Christianity, Christianity found only in the New Testament which the two faiths do not share.  People of the Jewish faith will denounce everything I've stated about Christ; if you disagree that is fine, but you need to know about the driving principles of each faith even if you don't like them.  Christ whether you believe he is God in human from or reject him as such, this is what makes a Jew a Jew and a Christian a Christian.  I'm not trying to convert anyone.  But you do need to understand the basics.

Revelations address this apostasy and if you'd like to learn more about how Christianity has been hijacked into supporting racism, genocide and apartheid I strongly recommend THE FINAL APOSTASY -- PRELUDE TO ANTI-CHRIST by Dr. Gordon Ginn.  Dr. Ginn is considered the foremost expert on Christian Zionism and the destruction of the core tenants of the Christian faith via its adoption of Darby's principles from the 1830's.

Why the Deception?

Why the deception and why is it important the American people only see Israel as a helpless victim, when in reality it is a nuclear super power and the victimizer? 

What size lie would you tell and to what lengths would you go to protect a guarantee of $300-billion hard earned US tax dollars and materials every year you never have to pay back? 

Ultimately, it all comes down to greed and money.  Greed of land and the necessity of the money to maintain a lifestyle beyond the country's means.  Religion is the veneer that covers this and protects it from scrutiny. Very few Israelis are religious.  Those that are, are tolerated or used to maintain the illusion. Most are secularists who pay lip service to the faith but do not practice. For that matter, so are most American Christians, secularists. Smoke and mirrors, a little intensive research and the carefully built house of cards falls apart.

If you are still having trouble with the magnitude of this, consider the following:

People do not receive death threats, end up on hit lists, blacklists, (masada2000.org/shit-list.html...this site is the worst example of hate speech I've ever seen and I refuse to link to it.  Parental Discretion strongly advised) have their families terrorized or their offices bombed for questioning Palestinian or Arab policies.  They do for questioning, simply questioning Israeli policies. The Arab governments and Palestinian people are not trying to destroy the Bill of Rights in an effort to support their cause by enacting  H.R. 3077, the International Studies in Higher Education Act and other unconstitutional resolutions to prevent colleges, universities or the press from discussing Middle East policies. Israel is. In fact, the Arab world desperately wants the American people to discuss this, unfettered in open public debates.  They've got nothing to hide and everything to gain from the truth.

Contrary to the Arab world's willingness to discuss the Middle East openly, Israel's lobby has launched several attacks on our first, fourth, fifth, tenth and fourteenth amendments including S-625, HR 4230 and HR 3077, most championed by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B’nai B’rith, the American Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee and supported by AIPAC. These new laws are designed to protect Israel by curbing any discussion of its policies in the US, and in many cases making objection or investigation of these policies or historical information a federal crime. An interesting note,  the ADL selectively protects Jewish people who support Israel and ignores the targeting of those who don't. Surprisingly, this anti-Semitism is usually by others of the Jewish faith, shinning serious doubts on the legitimacy of the ADL's stated mission. The Masada2000 URL above, the blacklist and hate speech on this site,  most of the 7,000 people listed are Jewish.  It's been up for nearly 4-years.  The ADL knows about it and lets it stand.

The reality is Americans, Jewish and Gentile do receive death threats, they are bombed, intimidated, defamed and terrorized  for simply questioning Israeli policies. Israeli interests will and do resort to violence in their desperation to prevent people from talking. In contrast, when Islam, Christianity or the motivations of  Arab countries are questioned, the Arab people respect our right to free speech and do not use violence and intimidation to shut us up. They even put up with the racial slurs, defamation of their faith and derogatory remarks. And we accuse them of hating us for our freedom.  Think about that. 

Tom Hayes' film People & the Land, is a great introduction into the Israeli propaganda machine.  He shows Israeli military and government officials denying everything and then cuts to pictures showing them doing everything they claim they don't from killing children at funerals and preventing the passage of ambulances to beating people senseless.  TOP

Public Perception & the Media

Americans see what the Israeli government wants us to see.  The rest of the world gets the full story.  And Ariel Sharon is quite pleased with the US Media, as his own words state on Israeli radio:

"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We the Jewish people, control America and the Americans know it."

- Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001, speaking to Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio. TOP

Even  Sharon's statement above is a ploy to elicit cries of anti-Semitism each time it is repeated.  Pretty smart and sneaky, one must admire that. They, the Israelis are experts at public relations and propaganda. Israel always acts in its own best interests. It is time the United States started doing the same.

This brainwashing of America reaches into the synagogues as well as the churches.  Most people who support Zionism, Jews and Gentiles have no idea what they are really supporting. They are not hateful people; they just don't have the full story.  They've been sold a fairy tale, a beautiful fairy tale of triumph over tragedy. People believe what they are taught until something happens to challenge those beliefs on a gut level.  For a lot of people, that was September 11th.

Recognizing the manipulation as it is happening requires a strong sense of values and principles to compare what you are told with what you innately consider right.  Usually these come from faith teachings.  In America, we also have the US Constitution, which transcends all faiths or lack of faith.  If you are ever in doubt about right or wrong, simply match the actions in question  to our Bill of Rights and the remaining Amendments.  If we don't support it here, why should we support it anywhere else?  To do so we would have to compromise our values and this undermines our integrity by leading us into hypocrisy. Hypocrisy breeds corruption and corruption breeds tyranny.  Keep it simple and focused on the basic principles that define what it is to be American and your decisions will be easier.  TOP

Another Issue Worth Considering

When the United States invaded Iraq a year ago today, we set in motion a deadly new factor.  We invaded a country because of what they might do.  By conducting a pre-emptive strike based upon revenge, entitlement and false pretense, we lost our moral high ground. Iraq was not a direct threat.  They had not attacked us.  We were  not in danger.  70% of the letters to the editor in February/March last year were categorically against the invasion.  Rather than print public opinion, many of our leading papers printed a majority for rather than the true majority against on the request of the administration.

(Read Nancy Snow's The Information Wars for more information on how we were manipulated into war through propaganda).

We didn't like Iraq. Israel didn't like Iraq, so we took them out.  Our motivation falls under the immoral factor, not the moral factor on this one.  We are the bad guys this time and though Americans keep trying to rationalize we aren't, the rest of the world sees us for what we are.  Bullies, spoiled brats and power hungry.  TOP

What the American people do not realize is our paltry 300 million citizens need the rest of the world's 5.7 billion citizens more than they need us.  This is our arrogance. We are only 5% of the world's population and we consume 17% of its resources.  To many, we are a liability, especially now that we've decided we can invade whomever we want by manufacturing reasons without consideration to morality. Would you trust us, given our behavior over the past two years? The rest of the world has the power to shut us down, not militarily, but where it really hurts, financially. This is already starting.  Many people in Europe and Asia are refusing to patronize US companies because of our foreign policies in the Middle East, specifically Israel and Iraq.

These people are not avoiding US and Israeli products because they are anti-Semitic; they are doing it because apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide, Israel's policies that we underwrite are wrong. They are doing it because pre-emptive strikes both we and Israel engage in are wrong.  Fifty-eight percent of Europeans consider Israel the greatest threat to world peace.  To confront the United States or Israel militarily is suicide, they know this. We have the most powerful military in the world.  Israel possesses the fourth most powerful army in the world. Logic dictates financial means are the only way to stop us, both of us.  Israel continues to taunt its Arab neighbors publicly with nuclear threats. Since many in Israel subscribe to Jewish supremacy (approximately 25% with the settlers being the most extreme) and its leader has shown he has no problem slaughtering thousands of people, the threat is real. Arabs to many Israelis are not fully human and killing a gentile to a Jewish supremacist is not a sin.  Rather it is a righteous act, blessed by God. Forty percent of Israel's population is trying to change this and they really wishes the US would wake up!

Economic Reality

Economics is another reason Americans need to start paying attention and get educated on this issue.  The clouds on the horizon are not friendly; it's our policies providing the seed and the storm is gathering strength.  If you own a business or work in economics, you know exactly what I'm talking about.  If this happens, the rest of the world has enough time to find alternatives for our products and services which generally takes about eight years, as a nation we will only have ourselves to blame. Within twenty years both India and China will far out buy and out spend the US. That 17% we currently command, we'll no longer be the most profitable market, especially with a crushing deficit, our trade disparity and unjustified wars on false accusations. We'll hang ourselves on our arrogance.  It is an economic certainty if Americans do not wake up soon that we shall confront the true cost of apathy, ignorance and not addressing this issue.

We've already lost our credibility. We've already sacrificed our moral high ground. The Patriot Act and other legislation have already gutted our Constitution making it more difficult for the American people to act within our rights. If we continue to act destructively on the international stage, we will force the hand of other nations. How else do other nations deal with two rogues backed by huge arsenals of nuclear terror, who decide the rules no longer apply, force their will by military means on others and ignore the basic principles of humanity? This is what the US and Israel are doing. The rest of the world doesn't need us and they can effectively press their will financially if the American people continue to ignore the tenants of our Constitution abroad and act as we do.  Financial penalties via boycotts, the realignment of industry and the re-sourcing of products and services results in lost jobs, lost industry, lost markets, lost lifestyle.  In essence, we lose everything for promoting and supporting ideas we would never support in any other part of the world.  This is what is at stake.  Ignorance and apathy are no longer excuses, rather they imply consent.

Conclusion

Judaism is the sheep's clothing over the wolf of Zionism used to prevent its scrutiny and criticism.  It gives them carte-blanc to scream "anti-Semitism" every time someone confronts them.  Of course once you realize this, it no longer works.  Zionism operates on lies, half-truths, fear, guilt and historical revisionism. It really doesn't take much to expose this.  The information is out there.  You just need to go get it. This is a game of sorts with very high stakes, (money, power and control of the American mind, assets and might) and now you have the resources to move from the position of pawn strait up to queen. Queens get things done.  Kings kind of just sit there. TOP

This, becoming knowledgeable and discussing Israel, Judaism, Palestine, Islam, Christianity, Iraq and the conflict isn't about hate, revenge, getting even, anti-Semitism or punishing people or a country. If anyone tries to convince you of that or accuses you of such, know they are manipulating you. What it is about is doing what is right for the United States, Israel, Palestine and the rest of the global community.  The majority of the rest of the world already knows this, which is why you hear it is "The United States and Israel against the world."  There is a reason the United States stands alone, a very good reason.  The resources presented will show you why.   What you do with the knowledge thereafter is up to you.  You can decide to continue as part of the problem, or you can begin becoming part of the solution.
