Israel's argument for this wall suggests it is needed
as
protection from the Palestinians. The death and
injury
statistics dispute this. Based on the numbers,
Israel does not need protection from the Palestinians,
but the Palestinians certainly need protection from the
4th largest army in the world with over 600 weapons of
mass destruction and the most advanced technology
available courtesy of the USA and Britain. The
Palestinians do not and have never had an army.
They are militia.
Between January 1, 2003 and
February 15, 2004, 1,789 Palestinians have been killed compared
to 162 Israelis making it 11:1. Eleven Palestinians killed
for every Israeli killed? Obviously the Israelis need
protection from the Palestinians.
Dr.
Armitage's statement, "They're walling them in" is true and
correct. It is hardly anti-Semitic.

Statement Three:
"They're
essentially doing the same thing that was done to them…It's
exactly what Hitler did to the Jews."
Facts: Ariel Sharon publicly advocates his solution for the
"Palestinian Problem":
deportation. Members of the Israeli
government have referred to Palestinians and Arab Israelis as
"vermin"
and "sub-human". Sharon along with 70 US Senators and
congressman advocate and support building walled ghettos for
Muslims and Christians, a policy directly against the US
Constitution!
TOP
During the summer months, food and water is withheld from
Palestinians for days at a time; curfews, some going for months
are imposed, barring Christians and Muslims from medical care,
employment and basic freedoms.
In Israel, Palestinians and Israeli Arabs of Christian or Muslim
decent are prohibited from working on Jewish property or owning
property previous owned by Jewish inhabitants meaning 90% of
Israel is off-limits to Christians and Muslims.

February 19, 2004:
The Swedish government along 44 other countries, the Red
Cross and Amnesty Inter-national today found Israel is
violating international laws by building wall on
Palestinian land. Support for this wall is
championed by
70 members of the US Congress and Senate, led by
Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) despite the fact its
construction violates the values and objectives stated
in the US Constitution and its amendments.
AMNESTY
International stated that the “Constructing the Wall
inside the occupied territories is a violation of the
International Law, and is considered part of the series
of violation of Human rights, therefore the
International Law should look into it”. The statement
mentioned that 90% of the Wall is constructed on
Palestinian lands and that it separates the people and
families from each other, adding that the separation
wall also bans thousands of Palestinians from accessing
the basic services such as medication services, schools,
food and work places. |

Selected neighborhoods proudly
post, "Jewish only"
signs and the state strongly discourages mixing "Jewish blood"
with the Asian workers brought in to do the work the Arabs once
did or even carrying on relations with Sephardic Jews, the
second class citizens in Israel. Sephardic Jews are
Semitic. Palestinian Christians and Muslims are Semitic.
Semitic refers to Arabic origins and the six ancient languages
of the area.
The majority of Israelis are not Semitic. They are Caucasian
and European.
Israel currently
employs chemical weapons to devastate sustenance
and livelihood against the
Bedouin Araqib tribe
near
Beer Sheva. This is the third
time in 2-years. The current attack began January 15th, 2004 by
spraying powerful herbicides on their crops, killing them.
Rather than gas the inhabitants, they are killing their crops,
poisoning their food and destroying their flocks with chemical
weapons, in addition to razing the homes of over 2,000 people to
force them off the land they've lived on for centuries to make
room for Israeli settlers. Though the Bedouin account for 25%
of the population in this part of Israel, they control only 2%
of the land. Rather than compensate the owners of the land, the
Israelis choose to force them off, violating international law.
This action falls under Crimes Against Humanity in the Rome
Statues, specifically ethnic cleansing. Two hundred million
dollars is allocated to this task, much from US grants.
In Gaza, bombs shaped like toys
are tossed where children congregate. Once picked up they
explode killing the unlucky child and maiming those near.
Recently nerve gas has been used to target women and children
at play and at home. The Israeli military tosses the gas into
the courtyards of residences rendering the inhabitants unable
to move except the involuntary seizures that wrack their
muscles and brains.
TOP
Contrast this with
Hitler's Germany and treatment of the Jews. The same
elements are there: ideas of deportation, forced occupation,
displacement and the seizing or destruction of property without
compensation, forced starvation and destruction of livelihood,
building walled ghetto, racial supremacy, two-tiered legal
system, limitation on civil liberties, public beatings,
humiliation, dehumanization, persecution, military might
targeted at civilian populations, racial purity laws either
overt or implied, the requirement of papers and designation of
faith on ID cards, not to mention license plates with different
colors for Jews and Gentiles to make them easy to identify at
checkpoints.
Making the Gospels
Anti-Semitic
Why is the ADL Targeting
The Passion of
the Christ?
Anti-Semitism is a serious issue when it exists.
The ADL continues to use this characterization to
discredit people with opinions, research or facts
contrary to their agendas on politics, human rights and
Zionism. Numerous lawsuits have been won against the ADL
in recent years for its infringement on the
constitutional rights of Americans including spying,
denial of civil liberties and defamation of character.
Zionism is denounced by Torah Faithful Jewry. It is a
political movement based on racial supremacy and the
Talmudic laws created after the birth of Christ to
dissuade converts to Christianity and control those of
the Jewish faith through the Rabbinical. This is where
The Passion of the Christ comes in.
Many
Christians embrace the ADL's
agenda, protecting Zionism and worshiping Israel first,
placing it before their faith and before America. The
largest group, Evangelical Christians constitute
the driving force in the United States. For anyone who
has read the Talmud given its teachings concerning
Christians, this alliance defies logic. The Passion
of the Christ threatens to destroy this alliance by
motivating Christians to fully embrace their faith. If
the alliance is destroyed, Zionism looses its
underwriter and protector.
The
ADL and its supporters fan the flames of anti-Semitism
for their own agenda to keep the truth about Zionism
from reaching their American underwriters and to
terrorize Torah Faithful Jewry into moving to Israel,
which they refuse to do. It is against
Judaism, their religion to take land by force. Fastidiously committed to their faith they
field labels of "Self-hating Jew", personal attacks and
threats the Zionists execute on them. Their faith is in
God, not real estate. It is HIS strength that allows the
Torah faithful to uphold their faith and repel Zionism.
Zionism's fear of this movie is in the reaction. Upon
seeing it Christians who support the ADL and its agenda
may re-read John 3:16, Acts 15 or Revelations 2:8-10.
Their eyes might open and suddenly the killing they call
"justified", in the context of the teachings of Jesus
becomes a mortal sin instituted by Pharisees. It may
cause Christians to realize Galatians outlines the new
covenant, and for Christians, God's promise of a messiah
has been fulfilled. Christians may re-examine their
behavior, faith and actions thus convincing Christians
to behave like Christians and abandon Zionism which
requires adherence to elitism (chosen by God status) and
a sacred acknowledgement of collective guilt and
victimization.
Practicing Christians cannot support genocide,
persecution, or racism against any people as all people
are children of God, even those who are not Christian.
Practicing Christians cannot accept a chosen people as
the new covenant upon the birth of Christ, God no longer
chooses. Elitism is against the core Christian values.
To elevate one group of people to a chosen status
requires denying Christ. With the resurrection He
gives freewill to all people to chose Him.
Christians cannot promote or hold in esteem
victimization, collective guilt and martyrdom. To do so
goes against the teachings of Jesus requiring we forgive
and forget and hold only the sinner responsible for his
actions and never transfer the culpability. It also
requires Christians refrain from perpetuating or
facilitating any form of victimhood or sin. To aid
in its realization is equivalent to participating in it.
If Christians, the primary supporters of Zionism grasp
that to be committed to their faith forbids these
policies, everything falls apart. If this happens,
Zionism, not the state of Israel, will deteriorate
without the unconditional support of America. Israel
will have to come to terms with its neighbors and learn
to live in peace without racial supremacy and apartheid.
With the end of apartheid, Israel can achieve its goal
of democracy and the peace that existed for over 1000
years in the region between Jews and Gentiles can
return. The entire world wins when this happens, but
Zionists lose everything and those in power do not like
to give it up.
The
fear of losing the Evangelical benefactors is the
reason groups like the ADL are
attempting to discredit The Passion of the Christ,
not that it will breed anti-Semitism. A ridiculous
argument when you consider the tenants of Christianity;
this movie will strengthen the faith, not
weaken it. The last incident of anti-Semitism,
two in fact
related to The Passion plays...occurred in the 16th
Century, 500 years ago.
Christianity teaches love the person, hate the sin.
Yes, more Christians will start asking questions about
Christianity and Judaism after seeing this movie. Yes
Christians will be re-examining their lives, priorities
and commitment to faith. Yes, they will be looking
closely. Christians faithful to the New Testament
cannot be anti-Semitic and still be Christian.
Today those who oppose Zionism are called
anti-Semitic or self-hating Jews for refusing to sell their souls to
fascism. By reacquainting themselves with the
foundations of Christianity, Christians re-discover the
strength faith emboldens one with to stand up for what
is right and human, as the Torah Faithful Jews have done
by denouncing Zionism and
practicing Judaism absent of fascism and compromised
beliefs.
This is why the ADL is
attempting to discredit The Passion of the Christ: 10 Million dollars a day*, the freedom to continue
apartheid unchecked and blessed by the US taxpayers and the power to dominate
and destroy an entire race without repercussion.
Without the Evangelical Christians support for these
policies, the money train and political clout dry up.
Zionism will have to come to terms with its actions and
the con-sequences it will face in the World Court for
multiple charges of War Crimes and Crimes Against
Humanity. That's a high price, a very high price to pay
for a Christian epiphany.
The argument that the film will generate anti-Semitism
is smoke and mirrors. The argument that it may
provide the catalyst needed to expose Zionism for what
it is, is true. And as the Bible teaches, the
truth will set US and Israel free.

*Israel receives 40% of the entire foreign aid
budget each year from the US, a minimum of $350
Billion per year,
From 1973-2002, Israel,

And these are just
a few of the similarities. Even the most militant Israelis,
(accounting for approximately 25% of the population) compare
themselves to Nazi Germany as this January 25th, 2004 article
illustrates:

Jewish settlers: 'We control America'
Al-Khalil, Jan 25
- Jewish settlers in Al-Khalil told Palestinians that 'we are
the strongest, we control America from Los Angeles to New York
and the stupid Americans know it'.
The exchange hap-pened during a violent a brawl when dozens of
settlers tried to prevent Palestinians from using a road outside
the Ibrahimi mosque in Al-Khalil on Saturday.
The settlers, some of whom carried automatic rifles, said they
would massacre the Palestinians sooner or later if they didn't
leave' Eretz Yisrael' (the land of Israel).
TOP
Upon hearing this, one young Palestinian re-torted: "So you
want to do to us what Hitler and the Gestapo did to you many
years ago?"
"This is
exactly what we will do to you. Call us Nazis, call us Gestapo,
we don't care. And the world won't help you. Because we control
America," replied the settlers.
A few minutes later, the settlers began physically assaulting
the Palestinian youths and a serious scuffle ensued, lasting for
half an hour.
TOP
Eventually, three Israeli army jeeps arrived and crack Israeli
soldiers assaulted and phy-sically beat the Pale-stinians for
daring to 'speak to the settlers in this way'.
At least five Pale-stinians were briefly detained. The settlers
of Al-Khalil have been described by many Israeli writers,
intellectuals and even army officers as 'a Gestapo-Like Mafia'.
IRIB PERSIAN NEWS PAGE
This article is not an isolated
incident; it is just the most recent. Israeli paper
Ha'aretz
Daily and numerous other publications including the
BBC,
The
London
Guardian,
CNN International and
Counter Punch regularly report
such incidents and sentiments. Dr. Armitage's statement,
"They're
essentially doing the same thing that was done to them…It's
exactly what Hitler did to the Jews"
is accurate. The word "exactly" is open to debate but the
sentiment behind it, that there are strong correlations between
Zionists and Nazis is accurate. It is not anti-Semitic. It is
terrifying.
TOP
Hitler used as justification for
actions the 1915 genocide of Armenians by the Turks, which they
still deny, in which women were burned alive and entire families
tortured and slaughtered; others endeared a trial of tears, much
like our own American Indians, before they were massacred. He
reasoned nobody remembered that. Why would anyone care or
remember the Jews, Catholics, mentally ill, homosexuals,
handicap, gypsies and communists? Hitler banked on apathy,
ignorance and propaganda that intimidates those who speak out to cover his tracks.
TOP
Afterwards with 12-million dead
in Hitler's Holocaust, (Total fatalities for World War II
are: 60-million people killed-- 41-million civilians and
19-million military personnel) the world swore, never again would this happen. By censoring
public debate, circumventing the First Amendment rights of
Americans to discuss truthfully the Israeli / Palestinian conflict
through apathy, ignorance and propaganda induced fear, it is
occurring again.
History will hold US
responsible. Denial failed to exonerate the Germans. What
makes Americans think we are different? Our culpability is
equal to Israel's in creating this new holocaust. We pay for it.
We promote it. We vote for it and through denial, we allow it.
When those brave enough speak, we mentally castrate them with
vile accusations of anti-Semitism or self-hating Jew
allowing us to return to ignorance and passive acceptance.
The truth though not convenient, is not anti-Semitic.

Conclusion
Dr. Armitage
represents the latest victim of the ADL's clandestine war on
First Amendment. To date the ADL and its supporters have
effectively silenced journalists, professors, peace activists,
US Presidents and politicians placing us as a nation on very
dangerous ground. The irony is, we the American public allow it.
The ADL and its supporters are powerless without American
consent. The time has come to withdraw that consent. Assisting
Dr. Armitage provides an excellent starting point.
Dr. Armitage is
not alone, nor the first professor to endure the targeting of
the ADL and its supporters.
The list remains long with casualties including academic
truth, justice, freedom and most importantly the forfeiture
of American values, credibility and morals here and overseas. Their campaign to promote historical
revisionism as it happens endangers America's future. Keeping
America ignorant is in
the ADL's best interests, but it is not in America's best
interests. We can stop it.
Americans have the
power to insure Dr. Leighton Armitage and others stating the truth
remain the last casualties of historical
censorship. By censoring what Americans hear, think and discuss
through the defamation of our teachers, journalists and
politicians, the ADL and its supporters are preventing Americans
from knowing and understanding the truth and atrocities we
support.

Protesting the
incursion of this special interest's agenda on the American
mind is not anti-Semitic. Their agenda, promoting
ideas and policies of apartheid, oppression and racism are
anti-American and these policies violate the US
Constitution. Laws exist to deal with those who lie.
People should not be terrorized and defamed when they tell
or teach the truth. Nobody, not the government, individual
or a special interest lobby has the right to censor the
truth in America.

A
Sobering Comparison
How do the
statistics stack up in American based upon percentage of
population?

of Palestine: 3,000,000 · Population of Israel:
6,000,000 · Population of the United States: 300,000,000
January 1, 2003 thru February 15, 2004
Palestinians
1,789
deaths in Palestine is equivalent to:
178,900 Americans Killed.
This is
equivalent to 435 Americans killed every day.
10,136
injuries in Palestine is equivalent to:
1,013,600 Americans Injured,
roughly the entire population of Portland, Oregon.
This is equivalent to 2,466 Americans injured every day.
Israelis
162 deaths
in Israel is equivalent to:
8,100 Americans Killed
This is
equivalent to 19 Americans Killed Every Day
489
injuries in Israel is equivalent to:
24,450 Americans Injured
This is
equivalent to 59 Americans injured Every Day
