			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8418" title="tehran" src="http://www.toqonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tehran-300x200.jpg" alt="tehran" width="300" height="200" />Israeli officials, neoconservatives, and Zionists are pushing relentlessly for the military destruction or internal overthrow of Iran. The drumbeat of anti-Iranian propaganda on television, in the print media, from Jews and government officials, while not yet as intense as anti-Iraq propaganda prior to the 2003 invasion of Mesopotamia, is ceaseless and mounting.</p><p>Iranians (or Persians), the largest ethnic group in Iran, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.persiansarenotarabs.com/">are not Semites</a>. Unlike Jews and Arabs, they are Indo-Europeans. Iranians have a distinguished Aryan past. Many Iranian &#8220;minorities&#8221; also have Indo-European origins or speak Indo-European languages. As elsewhere across the highly admixed Eurasian borderlands, the racial and ethnic picture in Iran is highly complex and a millennium and a half of Islamic religious and cultural overlay further differentiates the populace from Europeans. Nevertheless, in biocultural terms, the people of the West and Iranians share common Indo-European and proto-Indo European roots.</p><p>Whites and Jews do not.</p><p><strong>Bloodlust</strong><strong> </strong></p><p>Pat Buchanan <a target="_blank" href="http://www.vdare.com/buchanan/100204_war_card.htm">wrote</a> recently that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) &#8220;is surely aware a US clash with Iran, with him at the president&#8217;s side, could assure his re-election. Last week, Reid whistled through the Senate, by voice vote, a bill to put us on that escalator. Senate bill 2799 would punish any company exporting gasoline to Iran. Though swimming in oil, Iran has a limited refining capacity and must import 40 percent of the gas to operate its cars and trucks and heat its homes. And cutting off a country&#8217;s oil or gas is a proven path to war.&#8221; (Reid, who is white, has a Jewish wife and children.)</p><p>In contemporary politics it&#8217;s always six of one, half dozen of the other. Rather than military attack, Buchanan therefore favors current US policy: &#8220;US interests would seem to dictate supporting those elements in Iran who wish to be rid of the regime and re-engage the West&#8221;—elements he describes as &#8220;the leaders of the Green Movement who have stood up to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah.&#8221;</p><p>In other words, Buchanan and the establishment Left prefer a clandestine <em>coup d&#8217;état </em>(&#8220;regime change&#8221;) engineered by the secret police agencies and governments of the ex-West on behalf of Israel.</p><p>Prior to the 1991 Gulf &#8220;War,&#8221; Israel&#8217;s disinformation machine depicted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein as a tyrant and a danger to the world. According to ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky, &#8220;The Mossad activated every asset it had, in every place possible, from volunteer agents in Amnesty International to fully bought members of the US Congress.&#8221; The same process is at work now, with &#8220;Holocaust denier&#8221; Ahmadinejad-Hitler replacing Saddam-Hitler as the embodiment of ultimate evil.</p><div id="attachment_8419" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 225px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8419" title="Iraniangirl" src="http://www.toqonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Iraniangirl-215x300.jpg" alt="Iranian girl" width="215" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Iranian girl</p></div><p>Two years ago, in <em><a target="_blank" href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/07/07/080707fa_fact_hersh">an article</a></em> in <em>The New Yorker</em> (July 7, 2008), Jewish journalist Seymour Hersh revealed secret Buchanan-Obama style US subversion inside Iran, including murders, creation of minority ethnic strife, and political meddling designed to overthrow the government there. Although Hersh&#8217;s account covered Bush Administration-Congressional Democratic policy, things have not changed under unitary Obama-Reid-Pelosi Democratic dominance. (US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D.-Calif.], a Catholic Italian-American, has a Jewish son-in-law and Jewish grandchildren.)</p><p>Jewry and Israel are guilty as well. The <em>Times</em> (London) <a target="_blank" href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article7028123.ece">reported</a>:</p><p>Ehud Olmert, the former Israeli Prime Minister, in a speech at the weekend, alluded to a report in The Times on Saturday that Mossad was waging a covert war of assassinations across the Middle  East, targeting Hamas and Iranian officials.</p><p>“There are a huge range of options between a full military attack and accepting a nuclear Iran,” Mr Olmert said. “There are other means that, together with other things happening, <em>and they are happening</em> [emphasis added], can create a result that would not allow the Iranians to reach what they are trying to reach.” (February  16, 2010)</p><p>The January  20, 2010 Jewish assassination of Hamas member Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai, again <a target="_blank" href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article7034933.ece">according to</a> the <em>Times</em> (February 21, 2010), occurred within the &#8220;context&#8221; of anti-Iranian policy. Since the murder had been deceptively arranged to look like a natural death, it was only discovered because the government of Dubai is not as controlled as the ex-Western governments that quietly facilitated the killers&#8217; movements.</p><p>&#8220;The mission was not regarded as unduly complicated or risky,&#8221; the <em>Times</em> reported. According to an Israeli source, the killers were &#8220;very much aware of the CCTV [closed-circuit television surveillance cameras] in Dubai&#8221; that led to their being discovered—though not captured or punished. They got away scot-free. It&#8217;s creepy reading and watching [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article7028123.ece">video</a>] how the swarm of psychopaths glued themselves to their unwitting victim, especially knowing our government is in league with them, and that Dubai is but the small tip of a very large iceberg.(1)</p><p>It would appear that Jewish elements are accustomed to operating with impunity in ex-Western nations possessing far more advanced police systems and technological capabilities than Dubai. Indeed, how could it be otherwise, when Jewish and Israeli firms are so deeply enmeshed in providing, staffing, and training the public and private &#8220;security&#8221; apparatus in those countries? Jews anticipated that, like the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New  Zealand, Dubai officials would be unable or unwilling to reconstruct and assemble the multiple CCTV images of <em>their</em> operation into one account.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>Neither <em>coup d&#8217;éta</em>t nor invasion is acceptable.(2) The fact that the Iranian nuclear program is being used as a pretext for the Great Power assault compounds the evil, for Israel bristles with weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, acquired with the criminal connivance of officials in France, Norway, and the United States, and concealed from public view by cooperative media establishments.</p><p>From a strategic and fiscal perspective, the destruction of Iran is folly. It is not in our interests. It is iniquitous. But our corrupt and self-absorbed ruling class is not known for prudence, self-restraint, adherence to law, or morality. Even if its impetuous hatred ultimately brings our own house crashing down around our heads like the Twin Towers, there is nothing whites can do about it.</p><p>Only dissent by a Jewish minority can eventually alter the course of events, because only Jews have primary influence in such matters. Everyone else is merely along for the ride, remaining silent or choosing which Jewish faction to support on the basis of expediency, obedience, conformity, or normative preference. Precluded by a totalitarian political and cultural regime from making independent contributions to an artificially circumscribed &#8220;debate,&#8221; and certainly prevented from advancing non-Jewish interests or values, Gentile ideological and policy input must remain derivative, marginal, and uninspiring, <em>à la</em> Jimmy Carter, Mearsheimer and Walt, etc.</p><p>The internal Jewish schism over Middle East policy that seems to be forming will take time to develop—too much time, it appears, to spare the Iranians, who, as a minor power, will likely be destroyed either by a subterranean <em>coup d&#8217;état </em>or neoconservative military violence.</p><p>From the standpoint of history, race, and community, our primary interests align more closely with (more or less) Indo-European Islamic Iranians than with anti-white Jews, Israelis, and ex-Western governments currently riding high at everyone else&#8217;s expense. There is no evidence that Iranians desire the extermination of our people.</p><hr size="1" /><a href="#_ftnref1"></a>1.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8161" title="paradisebefore" src="http://www.toqonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/paradisebefore-300x225.jpg" alt="paradisebefore" width="300" height="225" /></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">“They would say: “I want <em>Harpaya</em>, (ejaculation), I would then ask what this <em>Harpaya </em>means and they would answer, ‘not only harpaya but we want it ‘all inclusive’, full sex.’ I used to tell them that we don’t do it and he would reply, ‘Read my lips, ‘the women are all included’, the salesman in Tel Aviv promised us that it’s <em>Akol Kalul</em>!’ Sometimes one of the female managers would suggest for to us to follow the guests’ demands just as a guarantee that they would come back.”</p><p>On 22 November 2002, Hotel Paradise Mombassa, an Israeli Hotel in Kenya, was attacked by a group of terrorists. The following <em>Maariv</em> piece isn’t concerned with Al Qa’eda, but rather with the devastation the Israelis left behind.</p><p>This is the story of a beautiful Israeli hotel on the African seashore. It is the story of an Israeli owned holiday resort in Mombassa, Kenya, designed and built solely for the Israeli tourist market. It is also the story of total abuse of the local impoverished population. It is a tale of humiliation, cruelty and continuous daily rape of struggling African women. It is the usual horrendous story of Israelis inflicting pain on others but at times it is very funny in spite of itself. For instance, once a week, when the Israeli groups were departing in busses on their way back to the Mombassa terminal, the local crew ordered the African staff to chase their departing busses with tears in their eyes and to scream ‘please don’t leave us, we love you, please come back’. This bizarre instruction was given to the local crew by the Israeli hotel management as part of the package deal, the last image to bring home of an unforgettable holiday. I allow myself to assume that the Israeli managers detected some clear yearning for love amongst their Israeli clients. One may ask what may stand in the core of such a longing for declarations of love. Considering the clear fact that those Israeli tourists were mainly engaged in turning Mombassa into Hell on earth, why do they really need to feel beloved after all that? I wonder why the Israeli offender insists upon being loved by his victim? Ordinary human beings do not expect to be loved by their hotel receptionists or room cleaners. But then, ordinary human beings do not tend to humiliate, abuse and rape hotel staff. They may spend some time in the hotel, they may enjoy its services and then they just pay and leave politely and quietly. For the Israeli tourists, as you will soon read, staying in the hotel is a clear ‘letting go’. It is the ideal environment to manifest one’s darkest libidinal impetus and practice total denial of any moral conduct. For the Israeli tourist, holiday is the materialisation and embodiment of their control zeal. For the Israelis, as you will read shortly, to go to for a holiday in Africa is to experience the varied possibilities of becoming a very wild animal.</p><p>The following journalistic piece is a glimpse into some Israeli pathological psychotic conditions. It is a bizarre story of an absurd criminal identity that demands affection from its victims. The story wasn’t written by myself, I just translated it into English. It originally appeared only in Hebrew in Maariv, Israel’s 2nd biggest daily paper. I spent time translating it because I do believe that is rather crucial to permit people outside of Israel a better understanding of the Israeli character and characteristics. Seemingly, some amongst us tend to believe that the Israeli approach towards the Palestinians is the outcome of specific colonial circumstances. Apparently, they are wrong. Israeliness is a radical form of blind cruelty and the Israelis have no problem taking it with them wherever they go. In Palestine it would be the Palestinians who suffer, in Goa it is the poor Indians. In the following story it is the deprived labour force of Mombassa, Kenya who confronts Israeli sadism. There is an old and famous saying, ‘you can take the man out of Israel but you can never take Israel out of the man’. You may want to take a nice deep breath before you read what the men of Israel are up to.</p><p><strong>&#8220;Fear and Contempt in Heaven&#8221;</strong><br />Omri Hasenheim, Kenya<br />14.10.2005<br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART/995/971.html">http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART/995/971.html</a></p><p>In hotel Paradise Mombassa, crew members were humiliated by the Israeli tourists. It’s no surprise that even after the 2002 terror attack on the hotel, they refuse to forgive, not Al-Qa’eda but rather us (the Israelis).</p><p>It is standing on the white sand that is apparently more beautiful than ever. The luxury buildings invite you for a ‘dream of a break’, the rooms and the suites are loaded with exceptional handmade wooden furniture. In between the restored buildings you find a stream with golden fishes. At the bar you can hear the echo of some laidback African beat. All around the gigantic swimming pool you can see many monkeys jumping around. From the dining room windows you can see the magnificent sea-view. On your way to the dining room you may want to visit the alligator pool, clearly the alligator grew a bit since that horrible day of terror.</p><p><strong>Welcome to Heaven, Hotel ‘Paradise Mombassa’</strong></p><p>At just a kilometre from there, in a Msomrini village, two orphan girls are making dreadlocks for each other. Not far behind them, an isolated miserable mud shed is standing, all around poorly clothed toddlers are playing. They are dirty, their noses are dripping. A few broken stools are spread around. On one of them, Dama Safaria is sitting. Before Al Qa’eda blew up the very little she had, she used to work as a dancer at the hotel. For two years she danced traditional African folk dances, something that helped her to forget the misery she was born into. In Msomrini, everyone was happy to dance for just $2 a day. In the beginning Dama was rather happy, but then, as time went by, the Israeli employers realised that they could probably get away without paying. After the performances, her husband used to march from the village to the hotel to beg for her wages. “We loved to dance for the Israelis,” says Dama, “but then once the payment day arrived our smiles would fade away.”</p><p>On the morning of 22 November 2002, Al Qa’eda terrorists attacked at the hotel. Once the explosion went off, it didn’t take long before Dama realised that her husband was missing. She was horrified, a few minutes later she was told that he was killed. Since then, she is struggling on her own to maintain herself and her nine orphans. Her youngest son is just four years old. From the hotel management she heard nothing. No one came to visit or even just to offer condolences. Neither the Israeli Government nor Kenyan officials have shown any interest. “We, the dancing company, are still owed $120 for the last four performances in front of those Israeli tourists,” she claims in despair.</p><p>“After the terror attack my life became impossible. In the winter I beg for the farmers to cultivate our land for literally pennies,” in the summer she herself doesn’t realise how she makes it.</p><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8162" title="paradiseafter" src="http://www.toqonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/paradiseafter-300x233.jpg" alt="paradiseafter" width="300" height="233" />Two month ago ‘Paradise Mombassa’ was reopened under a new management comprised of one Israeli, one French and one American. They try to minimise their exposure, very much like the previous Israeli owner Yeuda Sulami who denies to this day his involvement with the previous management. The new management does its utmost to change the hotel’s image, they are trying to leave the Israeli market behind. Instead they aim to appeal to European and American markets.</p><p>But for many locals, this new business face lift won’t make a big difference, the memory of those very years of total abuse by Israeli tourists and management is not going to fade away. They won’t forget the Israeli guests that sexually assaulted them or were just rude and arrogant. They won’t forget the Israeli management who came along with some bizarre professional demands, failing to pay their monthly wages on time and eventually just stopped paying altogether. Now, maybe out of hope, or just the will to open their hearts, they are giving their personal account of ‘Paradise Mombassa’.</p><p>The idea to erect an Israeli hotel on Kenya’s seashore in the late 1990s was proved to be ingenious. Until then, Kenya was famous for its wild Safari adventures. Yeuda Sulami and his business partner Itzik Mamman came up with the idea of using Kenya as an Israeli holiday resort. They founded a company and started to sell holiday packages including flights, accommodation and local tourist adventures. In the beginning, they were buying accommodation services from local companies. But the Israeli appetite knows no limit. ‘Why don’t we make the big money ourselves’ asked the two, ‘we shall build our hotel on the beach.’ Soon, they joined forces with local investors and founded a company based on ‘time sharing’ holiday rentals for Israelis. The Israeli client reacted enthusiastically, at the end of the day it was: a beautiful hotel offering sunny beaches at the time of the Israeli winter, complete with a flourishing cheap sex industry and just four and a half hours’ flight time from Tel Aviv.</p><p>The leitmotif that guided Sulami and Maman was that the Israeli guest who may come to Kenya once would return. Thus the promotion packages were sold ridiculously cheap. It all worked out perfectly well. Many Israelis returned and invested in holiday accommodation (one Israeli bought 52 holiday units for the sum of $1.5 million). Every week 250 Israelis landed at Mombassa airport, they found an Israeli hotel, it was fully Kosher and it even had a proper synagogue.</p><p>The hotel started to operate in the year 2000 and was officially launched a year later. Local crew was recruited from surrounding hotels. Most workers admit that in the beginning they were rather happy, but things deteriorated rapidly soon after the official opening. Rather soon it was clear that someone was about to pay for the Israeli extravaganza.</p><p><strong>Man should never be Alone</strong></p><p>Three years later, the humiliating practice is left like an open wound in the memory of the female hotel crew veterans. Once a week, just when the Israelis where checking out on their way back to the airport, a bell rang. ‘Get ready, the guests are leaving,’ announced the head of the entertaining team, frantically chasing the female crew. They were all ordered to gather near to the entrance gate and to chase the leaving busses while weeping desperately in front of the Israelis. Once they caught up with the busses they would bang on its metal frame with tears dropping from their eyes.</p><p>“It was a bizarre order,” giggled Saline Aching, the chief masseuse. “We were told to chase the bus, to sing and cry so the guests would know that we love them and want them to come back. I remember myself running like in a frenzied state, I would hit the bus with my fists shouting to the guests, ‘why do you leave us?’ ‘We miss you’, ‘We love you’. The Israelis would stare at us from the windows, some of them believed us to be genuine, others were shooting us with their video cameras. ”</p><p>Rahima Josef Katan: “If you were not crying you may find yourself in danger of losing your job. We were asked to think of something bad that happened to us, so we can cry for real. I didn’t cry.” “I didn’t cry,” Confesses Catherine Khaa, masseuse. “How could I, I didn’t love them at all. I fact I hated them.”</p><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8163" title="paradiseafter2" src="http://www.toqonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/paradiseafter2-300x180.jpg" alt="paradiseafter2" width="300" height="180" />The weekly bus chasing was just one example of the way the staff were supposed to treat the Israeli guests. The principles were obvious: humiliation, indignity, and hard labour. The guidelines were clear: The client is always right, the client must be happy, the client must return. The ones who carried most of the burden were the females amongst the entertainment team. Dorothy Maly recollects that once a week, on the arrival day, five of them would be taken to Mombassa airport. “We used sing to them Jambo Jambo (hello hello) and Evenu Shalom Aleichem. The local Kenyans were sure that we had had lost it but the Israelis were over the moon. They loved noise, once we arrived at the hotel, again we started singing loudly. In the night we were instructed by the manager to scream till the last Israeli leaves the dance floor. If a guest decides not to go to sleep, you were required to stay with him till he quits to his room. We were demanded to produce noise almost 24 hours a day. When we took a break, the manager would come and bark: ‘What’s the matter with you, do you fall asleep? I will cut your wage, move on…’.”</p><p>The agenda dictated from above was that a bored guest would never return. Rahima Raymond, masseuse: “We were doomed to sit with the guests till the small hours, to hang around with them. Sulami made it clear that we must keep the guests happy. We were dancing with the men in nightclubs just to make sure that they weren’t staying alone. In case we refused to do so, they would complain to the management: ‘Why don’t they come out with us?’ ‘We want to see the African night life’. They obviously didn’t care about our commitments and family life. Obviously, we didn’t get any ‘extra’ for those services. The day after, while they were still in bed we had to start again at eight in the morning. The slogan ‘the client is always right’ took over. Josef Katan: “they taught us a behavioural code, if a man is near to his wife we were supposed to hold his hand in a certain way, if his wife wasn’t around then we should behave rather differently.”</p><p>“There were religious Jews who couldn’t sign the room service notes on the Jewish Sabbath. We would then keep a note with their room number attached to their bill. Once Sabbath was over, some of them would just refuse to pay. They would argue that we invented it all, ‘you forged our signatures’, they would say. The management would always believe them and expect us to cover their bills. I just couldn’t believe that humans can behave as such.”</p><p><strong>To be seen like an African</strong></p><p>The ever-growing demand to entertain the Israeli guests enforced a maximised utilisation of the local workforce. The crew were mobilised from the many different departments to the entertainment team. “They could pool me out of the kitchen, telling me that the guests want to have a good time and I should go and hang out with them,” says Josef Katan. “ I would then ask, how can I bake cookies and dance simultaneously? The entire hotel was as an entertainment squad. The kitchen stuff were entertainers, the receptionists were entertainers, gardeners were entertainers.” Mali, a dancer: “Saline, the chief masseuse would give us a shout when too many Israelis wanted a massage at the same time. At the time I knew nothing about massage. There was a woman that was brought over by the hotel’s rabbi and she was supposed to teach us. After a short instruction of five minutes I was apparently ready to have a go.”</p><p>In order to maintain ‘authentic African spirit’ the staff was obliged to put on very minimal clothes. Unlike the other hotels in the vicinity, where men were serving in uniform, in Paradise Mombassa the male crew were walking around half naked and with bare feet. The females were allowed just a minimal fabric on their breasts and pubes. “Even when temperatures dropped we were not allowed to cover ourselves.” Marci Mawagambo Aching said: “Sulami wanted us to look ‘authentic’ so when you walk around, the guests can check you out for the night. You must be attractive so they re-book another holiday. It was horrible, but what can you do? I needed the money. One of the Israeli female managers told us that we better follow Sulami’s orders, if he wants us too look like Africans, we better look like ones.”</p><p>Even most basic conditions were lacking. ‘Paradise Mombassa’ is located 8 kilometres from the main road. The dirt track to the hotel passes through a wild savannah loaded with outlaws. But then a solution was found, a truck originally built to transport livestock was converted to transport forty humans. An Israeli employee says, “it was a truck with a sealed cargo wagon without benches. People were so squeezed in that we had to leave the back door open.” Josef Katan: “We felt like animals. Sometimes we were left with no oxygen, but we knew that if we complained we would then asked to stay in the hotel. That would obviously mean we would not be able to see our families. So we kept quiet.” Once a newly appointed manager asked how the Kenyans felt about the manner in which they were transported. The answer was rather clear, ‘for them it doesn’t matter, as long as they are delivered to their work they are happy.’</p><p>Even for meals during the working hours, local crew were left to fend for themselves. But then a creative solution was found. Aching: “there were times when Sulami was kind and let us eat the guests’ leftovers. We were lucky because the Israelis are greedy, they would go to the buffet and put on their plates far more than their bodies can take. They would take piles of salads, and massive chunks of meat, but then, they would barely touch it and leave most of it behind.” Mali: “If to tell the truth, we could see that the food was already on someone else’s plate, but some of us had to eat it, just because they couldn’t afford to buy somewhere else. They where hungry, what could they do?”</p><p>But it goes further. It didn’t take long before the local crew realised that they were not insured. It was clearly revealed after a security man was murdered and his colleague was wounded during a burglary, till this day, neither the grieving family nor the wounded man received any compensation. Work contracts were granted only to the very top managers. Lower hierarchy were provided with a meaningless paper stating an agreed figure. This document has never been respected by its initiators.</p><p><strong>Good Machine, Good Machine</strong></p><p>Saline Aching was curious to understand some Hebrew terms, it is her interest in the Hebrew language that helped her to grasp the meaning of <em>Akol Kalul</em>, all included. Not one hotel staff failed to understand the meaning of the Hebrew idiom that became the hotel business philosophy. All hotel services where included in the price of the holiday package purchased back in Israel. Soon the staff learned that this very idiom means a lot to Israelis.</p><p>“All day long I heard the guests shouting <em>Akol Kalul</em>,” says Josef Katan. “Some of them held me by my arm and shouted at me <em>Akol Kalul</em>. Even on the beach they would just shout to passing people <em>Akol Kalul, Akol Kalul</em>. I would then ask them what that ‘<em>Akol Kalul</em>’ means? They would answer, ‘everything, even you’. I used to tell them that I am not Sulami’s property. He owns the hotel but not me. I thought to myself, “God, do they behave as such in their own country?”</p><p>In the best case scenario, the <em>Akol Kalul</em> was practiced in the free buffet bar materialising into gigantic chunks of meat put on a single plate. In the worst case scenario, it found its way into the massage room. Needless to say, not even one guest evaded his right to be massaged. Aching says, “The first thing the male guests did upon arrival, even before they unloaded their suitcases in the rooms, they would sprint to the massage room. They would enter the hotel with their eyes wide open asking, ‘where is the massage room?’ I used to plan the daily schedule, there was a competition amongst them who is going to get there first.</p><p>Mali: “My role was to tell them: ‘I am Dorothy and I am a masseuse in the hotel’ as soon as I mentioned it they would scream ‘massage, massage’. Most of them couldn’t speak English. They would just say, ‘I come now.’ A tourist from another country would wait even two weeks but in Paradise they wanted it all right on the spot. Sometimes, even before breakfast. Someone would come and tell you, ‘I come for a massage <em>akol kalul</em>, if you don’t do <em>akol kalul</em>, I take another masseuse’.”</p><p>“They would say: “I want <em>Harpaya</em>, (ejaculation), I would then ask what this <em>Harpaya</em> means and they would answer, ‘not only <em>harpaya</em> but we want it ‘all inclusive’, full sex.’ I used to tell them that we don’t do it and he would reply, ‘Read my lips, ‘the women are all included’, the salesman in Tel Aviv promised us that it’s <em>Akol Kalul</em>!’ Sometimes one of the female managers would suggest for to us to follow the guests’ demands just as a guarantee that they would come back.”</p><p>Katherine Kaha, a masseuse, confesses that she had to follow the demands… “I would start doing a massage, and then the man would tell me, ‘do it all over, you must do it’. In case I wouldn’t they would complain to the management. I didn’t like it at all but I did it. They would give me $1 sometimes two, I felt horrible.”</p><p>A frequent Israeli guest to the hotel: “There was always this problem with the massage, the Israelis used to abuse the girls to the very limit. It was appalling and it gave Israel a bad name. There were some groups I was really embarrassed to stand near to. They were so bossy and arrogant, they did whatever they liked, and just had good time.”</p><p>“One of the Israelis told me,” says Rahima, “you know Rahima, last night they provided me with a little baby girl, only 13 years old, I fucked her and gave her $5 just because she was penniless.” I then asked him, “Wasn’t she the age of your granddaughter?” He didn’t answer. On the same night he might as well have come back to the hotel shouting, ‘African women are the best value for money.’ Let me tell you, here in Africa, it isn’t that common that once you sleep with a woman you go and inform the rest of the world about it. But the Israelis kept it all open, they used to say about us: <em>Mechona Tova, Mechona Tova</em> (Good machine, Good machine).”</p><p><strong>The Power to Fuck</strong></p><p>The passion for sex wasn’t only restricted to the massage rooms and wasn’t solely the business of the single male guests. It was rather prohibited to let local girls into the hotel. But a solution was found, just across the road, again in an Israeli partnership, a motel named Calypso was founded. This was where Israelis were hanging around in the nights. “Men used to come to our rooms asking us to go out with them,” tells Josef Katan, “but the worst happened in the morning when they shared the details of last night’s affairs with the entire dining room. They used to shout things like ‘ha, I went with her, I fucked and fucked and fucked her all night long and all for less than one dollar’. We understood exactly what they were talking about. When the first group arrived, I was telling myself that surely the second group would be better. But it was exactly the same. From tine to time they used to ask for room service, once the room service crew would enter their room, they would try to touch her. The waitresses were horrified, they never wanted to go with food to the rooms, but my personal case was different, they were afraid of me because I was rude to them. They used to call me ‘big ass’. This was Ok, it is better being ‘big ass’ rather than being their sex slave.”</p><p>“Even the married men used to find some ways to the girls’ rooms. For instance, one told his wife, ‘go to the dining room, I will be right there with you.’ Apparently he disappeared till the morning after. In the morning we were witnessing the woman screaming at her husband during breakfast. Once a man replied to his wife, ‘the women in Kenya are so great, they have a small hole, unlike you having such a silly big one’. All that at breakfast, in the dining room, in public. When the animosity went wild we always rushed to bring the hotel’s Rabbi in, he would do his best to make peace. Sometimes, the men used to sit in the dining room while the donkeys were having sex outside. As soon as the Israelis noticed the donkeys’ activity they would stand up and show their support: ‘good, good, good, forward, backward, good. good’.”</p><p>“Occasionally, one would come to me telling me in front of everyone else. ‘I will take Viagra and after that I will have the power to fuck. By the way, what’s your name?’ I would say Rahima. ‘Good, Rahima. I want to fuck you today!’” I asked myself what is going on. One guest asked me, ‘do you know Chartie? I went with her to the disco, I fucked her but she wasn’t good at all. Originally I planed to give her $10 but eventually I gave her $1 only. He was shouting like a madman and then Chartie arrived in the room. He then pointed at her with his finger and shouted ‘here she is, it was her’.”</p><p>Karen Tiglo, a room cleaner: “We couldn’t figure out whether the Israelis were wild animals or human beings. They would all the time offer me $10. I felt so humiliated. After a while they would know who amongst the female crew were desperate for money and would just go for them. Stela Matawa, a waitress: from time to time, a man would approach me abusively, in case I would refuse, the man would come to the dining room and shout, ‘leave out this girl she is crap, I took her to the room and she was useless’.”</p><p>Katherine Kaa experienced an especially traumatic event when a seventy-year-old man decided that he was in love with her. “I didn’t love him at all,” she says. “We went out to a <em>discothèque</em>, I was sure that I was just escorting him to assist him killing his boredom. On the way back, he and the taxi driver tricked me, rather than driving back to the hotel, we arrived at a place that hires rooms for the night. Violently, he tried to force me to sleep with him. But I couldn’t. When we went back to the hotel he told me that never wanted to see me again. And he would report to the management that I wasted his money without giving a thing back. After my refusal was reported, the hotel manager dismissed me for two weeks.”</p><p>According to a few of the crew members, not only did the Israeli management fail to denounce, some of the managers actually joined the party (their names are kept with the editors of the newspaper). Raymond, “At the time one of the managers learned to enjoy the massages. He started to demand: ‘do it here, here and there’ just like one of the guests. Another manager would pick girls from the entertainment team, he would say, ‘after all, I am a manager, no one would ask you where were you going.’ I had to accept it although it was rather horrible. The day after when he would pass by me, he would hardly acknowledge me. Every time, after our performances, one dancer would disappear into one of the manager s’ offices. The girls were afraid that this might be a professional issue to do with their performance but then, once in the manager’s office, they realised what it was all about.”</p><p>From <a target="_blank" href="http://peacepalestine.blogspot.com/2005/10/paradise-mombassa-translated-and.html"><em>Peacepalestine</em></a>, October 24, 2005</p><p>See also our articles from <a href="http://toqonline.com/author/jtr/">Jewish Tribal Review</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

The reaction  to the Obama administration’s rhetoric by Jewish fanatics in Israel has been  predictably over the top. National Religious Party’s leader, Science Minister  Daniel Herschkowitz, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.promisedlandblog.com/?p=1072">compared</a></strong> Obama to an  archetypal anti-Semite from the past: “The American demand to prevent natural  growth is unreasonable, and brings to mind Pharaoh who said: Every son that is  born ye shall cast into the river.” </span></p><p class="style370"><span class="style38">Israeli activists </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">are launching protests, and <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1090166.html">posters</a></strong> of  “Barak <em>Hussein</em> Obama” (middle name included) in Arabic headgear with  the statement “Anti-Semitic Jew Hater” are being distributed throughout Israel. </span></p><p class="style49"><p class="style370"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Philip Weiss  notes that one of the protests was organized by “none other than <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2009/03/in-ny-synagogue-settler-leader-calls-for-assassination-of-abbas-and-taxdeductible-contributions-to-s.html">Nadia  Matar</a></strong>, who when we last saw her was raising [tax deductible] money in a  New York synagogue and calling for Mahmoud Abbas to be assassinated.” The  following <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1090166.html">statement</a></strong> by an  activist gets at the depth of emotion involved: </span></p><p class="style368"><span class="t13"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">I&#8217;m here to tell Obama that <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Israel">Eretz Yisrael</a></strong> belongs to the Jewish people.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia,Arial,Helvetica;"><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note: </strong>The following essay provides useful background for understanding the hateful Jewish reactions to Barack Obama&#8217;s visit to Cairo seen in Max Blumenthal&#8217;s YouTube video &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxt9HwfPwPo">Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem</a>.&#8221; Perhaps Harold Covington&#8217;s characterization of Israel as &#8220;a vast, open-air madhouse&#8221; sums it up the best. The essay was excerpted by <a target="_blank" href="http://library.flawlesslogic.com/israel.htm">Irminsul&#8217;s Racial Nationalist Library</a> from from <em>When Victims Rule</em>, online at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jewishtribalreview.org/open.htm">Jewish Tribal Review</a>. Irminsul added the title and deleted JTR&#8217;s in-text citations.</span></p><p>Like any nation, the modern state of Israel has a discernible collective psychological attitude: a communal &#8220;personality.&#8221; It is formed at its core by the conviction that Israel is a Jewish island, a people under constant siege by hostile goyim. A key ingredient of the Israeli public persona, much championed, is that Jews are tough, emotionally hardened, and ruthless, a self-image epitomized in the &#8220;sabra&#8221; (literally meaning a cactus fruit, but colloquially meaning a Jew born in Israel). In popular Israeli folklore, the Jews of Israel are &#8220;thorny and tough on the outside, but soft inside.&#8221;</p><p>The sabra image also has deep psychological sources in the nationalist &#8220;lessons&#8221; learned from the Holocaust, a situation where a perceived lack of Jewish physical force and power in the diaspora (<em>galut</em>) throughout the world inevitably must &#8212; sooner or later &#8212; lead to disaster at the hands of Gentiles.</p><p>Zionism, in whatever form, has invariably dovetailed with some of the central tenets of classical religious Judaism, including the old &#8220;people apart&#8221; syndrome: Jewish alienation from all other peoples. &#8220;The civil religion [of Israel],&#8221; notes Charles Liebman and Eliezer Dov-Yehiya, &#8220;has been most forceful in asserting that Israel is an isolated nation confronting a hostile world &#8230; The growing importance of traditional Judaism and Jewishness is associated with the centrality of the Holocaust as the primary political myth of Israeli society, the symbol of Israel&#8217;s present condition and the one which provides Israel with legitimacy &#8230; The Holocaust to a great extent fashions &#8216;our national consciousness&#8217; and the memory is omnipresent in Israeli society.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Israeli political culture,&#8221; says Israeli professor Myron Aronoff, &#8220;reflects not only the general theme of the few against the many, but a growing emphasis of &#8216;them against us&#8217; &#8230; The traditional concept of Esau hates Jacob [Gentiles hate Jews] and a nation that dwells alone became explanations of reality and legitimization of Israeli policy.&#8221; As former lobbyist for Israel Doug Bloomfield once noted, some Israelis tend to have a &#8220;You owe us&#8221; and &#8220;Screw the world&#8221; attitudes. Zev Chafets remembers an Israeli concert he attended in 1969, two years after he moved to Israel from America: &#8220;As the show drew to a close, the group swung into an up-temp number. &#8216;Ha&#8217;olam Ku&#8217;lo heg&#8217;denu,&#8217; they sang. &#8216;The whole world is against us.&#8217; The audience knew the song and joined in on the chorus &#8230; [:] &#8216;The whole world is against us; never mind, we&#8217;ll get by; we don&#8217;t give a damn about them anyway.&#8217;&#8221;</p><p>Jewish scholar Daniel Niewyk describes the racist dimension of this Zionist ideology of alienation from others, especially as it developed in Germany:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">At the heart of the Zionist critique of liberal assimilation lay the conviction that Jews constitute a unique race. It was the belief in insurmountable racial differences that made the inevitability of anti-Semitism credible, just as it rationalizes the view that every effort to assimilate must go aground on the barrier reef of biological determinism &#8230; The maintenance of that [racial] purity was essential to German Zionism, for it acknowledged the essential prerequisite for nationhood to be [in the 1922 words of Zionist Fritz Kahn] &#8220;consanguinity of the flesh and solidarity of the soul&#8221; together with the &#8220;will to establish a closer [Jewish] brotherhood over [and] against all other communities on earth.&#8221;</p><p>Amnon Rubenstein notes the disturbing irony expressed in this world view of the Israeli people: &#8220;The establishment of Israel was an attempt to make Jews like everybody else. They would now have a state. It has not worked out that way. Israel has made Jews more, not less, exceptional. The pariah people, it seems, have simply succeeded in creating a pariah state.&#8221; Perhaps, however, this situation is inevitable. Unmentioned by Rubenstein is the religiously-based &#8220;nation apart&#8221; self-concept always so deeply embedded in Jewish mass psychology, a self-understanding and communal choice that apparently cannot be shaken, even in a secular nation-state context.</p><p>Non-Jewish scholar Virginia Dominguez, who spent long periods of time in Israel in later years doing research, noted the traditional Jewish narcissism and interest in pedigrees of identity expressed by the Israelis she met:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;What do you mean you say you are not Jewish?&#8221; I was asked on several occasions. &#8220;That you&#8217;re not religious? That your mother wasn&#8217;t Jewish? That &#8216;we the Jews&#8217; wouldn&#8217;t count you as a Jew because you had some Jewish ancestry but not the right ones, according to Halacha?&#8221; I was incredulous at first. I had no way then to anticipate this reaction. Everything else seemed to point to the importance of Jewishness, and to controlling both the content and limits of Jewishness.</p><p>The omnipresent stresses of a predominantly military state, the emphatic &#8220;we versus them&#8221; paradigm of traditional Jewish identity, the glorification of power and aggression, millennia-old disdain for non-Jews, and the emotional powder keg of Holocaust death camps as a motivational tool have invariably led to the noxious Israeli collective persona that is so much remarked upon by non-Israelis (often even Israelis themselves) who spend much time in Israel. Common traits of this &#8220;national character&#8221; are arrogance, insolence (<em>chutzpah</em>), coldness, roughness, and rudeness, to begin a long list of unpleasant &#8220;uncivil&#8221; attributes.</p><p>Many Diaspora Jews, in describing this Israeli character, tend to romanticize it. &#8220;There is a coldness,&#8221; notes Jewish scholar Norman Cantor, &#8220;a mystery, a distance from humanity about [Israelis] that anyone from another country who lives and works in Israel for a half a year will be impressed by.&#8221; &#8220;Israelis have a reputation for bad manners,&#8221; notes Jewish American immigrant to Israel Charles Liebman, &#8220;to the extent this reputation is deserved it stems from the sense of familiarity that Israelis feel towards one another.&#8221; Adam Garfinkle adds that &#8220;Israelis are sometimes rude to an extent that it even bothers other Israelis.&#8221; &#8220;The behavior of young Israelis,&#8221; Israeli Jay Gonen writes, &#8220;&#8230; is characterized by a high degree of <em>chutzpah</em> or gall; it is direct, blatant, unruly, clever, humorous, and indicates a certain lack of sensitivity to social requirements &#8230; [It has a] disregard for rules, regulations, social norms, and good manners.&#8221; Melford Spiro, in his study of the kibbutzim, discusses &#8220;insolence&#8221; as an &#8220;outstanding characteristic of the sabras&#8221; (native-born Israelis).</p><p>Herbert Russcol &#8212; a Jewish American emigrant to Israel &#8212; and his sabra wife Margarit Banai described the Israeli national character this way:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Horror stories&#8221; about the <em>chutzpah</em> &#8212; of the sabra-men, women, and children alike &#8212; are notorious. What appears to be (and often is) their cheek, their insolence, has shocked and enraged everyone who has met them. Sabras freely admit their <em>chutzpah</em> as a people, but are rarely aware of being chutzpadik themselves. They will tell you, &#8220;Oh, we&#8217;re terrible. It&#8217;s a national vice. I am not so bad, but I have some very rude friends&#8221; &#8230; <em>Chutzpah</em> is alarmingly close to chauvinism, and it must be admitted that the sabra is usually passionately chaunvinistic in an era when no gospel has been more discredited in the West than blind, excessive patriotism.</p><p>&#8220;The deliberate and unadorned frankness [of Israelis],&#8221; notes Zionist historian Melvin Urofsky, &#8220;so highly prized by Israelis, scornful of Westernized and &#8216;assimilated&#8217; manners, struck [Jewish] Americans [who sought to live in Israel], accustomed to some courtesies in life, as downright rude. (As late as 1965, a study of bureaucratic behavior in one large Israeli enterprise disclosed that 60 per cent of officials in contact with the public did not believe in greeting a visitor, nor would they reply to his greeting; an even higher percentage would not offer him a chair, simply letting him stand during the interview.)</p><p>Such attributes, it may be recalled, are among those that Jews have been noted for across the centuries. Leon Poliakov rhetorically remarks on the inevitable echo here in the European Jewish past: &#8220;Are the Jews congenitally unsociable and rude, or are they this way as a result of having been segregated in ghettos? Such was the form of the question in which arguments raged [among non-Jewish intellectuals] in the 18th century on the eve of Emancipation.&#8221;</p><p>As Joyce Starr notes: &#8220;Among Americans who have had extensive dealings with Israelis, whether in government, business, or Jewish circles, the first adjectives that comes to their lips are arrogant, willful, and sometimes infuriating.&#8221; Ms. Starr, who is also Jewish, notes the interchange she had with a man called J.R., &#8220;a high-ranking Israeli intelligence officer&#8221;:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Most Americans I interviewed in the government sphere &#8212; the State Department, Defense Department &#8212; use certain words when they describe Israelis.&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Arrogant,&#8221; J. R. replied.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Yes, arrogant is a word that comes up frequently.&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;By the way, I think it&#8217;s true. It applies to most Israelis. American fairness and Israeli fairness are different.&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;What is Israeli fairness?&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Israeli fairness is &#8216;You give me 75 percent and leave 25 percent.&#8217;&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Do they know they do it?&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Most of them do not. I think most of them believe that by some divine decree, they deserve to get everything.&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;What is divine decree?&#8221;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;It comes from God.&#8221; He saw me laughing. &#8220;It&#8221;s not funny, Joyce.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;To the brief tourist,&#8221; wrote Leonard Wolf, a Jewish resident of Israel in 1970, &#8220;[Israelis] are a rude, unsympathetic people, intent on themselves, irresponsive to nuances of feeling. Americans, who are instantly, if not profoundly, genial, are apt to find the slow pace of Israeli friendliness cold, comparing the Jewish hotelkeepers and tourist guides they meet unfavorably with the extraordinarily warm Arabs.&#8221;</p><p>In 2001, a Jewish ethnic newspaper, the <em>Forward</em>, noted that the national Israeli propensity to be cheats and hustlers (always evasive of the law) probably had roots in Jewish history in other lands:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">[There is] universal awareness that something is definitely rotten in the state of Israel. This is, after all, a country in which bending the rules is said to be a national pasttime, cutting corners a way of life and cheating the authorities the proof of merit &#8230; Sticklers for the law are ridiculed and abused, where anyone who works by the book is branded a sap, a &#8220;freier,&#8221; the worst insult in modern Israeli lexicon &#8230; Many people believe Israeli laxity, which borders on anarchy, is a national personality trait that cannot be eradicated by laws alone. Some trace the trait all the way back to the historical Jewish Diaspora, where Jews often found solace in bending the rules imposed by the often anti-Semitic authorities.</p><p>In 1986, B. Z. Sobel, an Israeli sociologist at the University of Haifa, discussed his research into reasons why so many Israelis emigrate from Israel to other lands. Among the motivations for leaving, he noted that &#8220;there is indeed an edginess [in Israeli society]; tempers flare, and verbal violence is rampant &#8230; A large proportion of those [Israelis] interviewed for my study &#8230; have been abroad [overseas] or were born or raised abroad, and in almost all cases reference is made to the fact that &#8216;people are nice in <em>chutz la&#8217;aretz</em>.&#8217; Strangers wish you a good day as they make change or pass you in the street, whereas at home [Israel] you can consider yourself fortunate to receive minimally civil treatment.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Americans are much more polite, I would say,&#8221; remarked Israeli journalist Ze&#8217;ev Schiff, &#8220;while we are rude and have no patience &#8230; You can see it when some of us are waiting in a queue in a bank or waiting for a bus &#8230; This is the way we deal with each other, with the Egyptians, the Europeans, whoever.&#8221; As Joyce Starr adds: &#8220;The tension [in Israel] spills out in sudden eruptions of rudeness. You can be standing in line in a gas station, and suddenly there will be an outbreak of shouts and terrible cursing for no apparent reason except that people explode in Israel.&#8221;</p><p>Moshe Shokeid notes the comments of an Israeli identified as &#8220;Eli,&#8221; and his perceptions of the Israelis he met in New York City: &#8220;When I looked at the crowd, I subconsciously saw myself in the mirror. When you see other Israelis screaming in Hebrew, you realize that you possibly look the same. Unfortunately, I rediscovered the ugly Israeli.&#8221;</p><p>In the 1980s, Virginia Dominguez, a Cuban American sociologist, fluent in Hebrew and a Fulbright scholar in Israel, worried that obnoxious Israeli behavior and Jewish self-obsession threatened to push her into the camp of the anti-Semites:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Has my obsessive, long-term encounter with Israeli society over the past six years turned me into the anti-Semite I never was? I find myself sharply intolerant of the noisy, brash behavior of most Israeli children. I coin terms of description that are even explicitly judgmental. I get exasperated with the perennial references in the [Hebrew] media to the Jewishness of well-known public figures abroad.</p><p>Wendy Orange, a Jewish American, a new immigrant to Israel, noted with irritation the commentary of a group of Christian visitors she overheard in Jerusalem restaurant:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">I overheard one Ghanaian woman say, &#8220;Just ghastly, these people!&#8221; She&#8217;s talking to a pregnant Irish woman, who responded wholeheartedly: &#8220;I never imagined they&#8217;d be so crude &#8230; so rude.&#8221; The Ghanaian, tall and dignified, her hair wrapped high in a colorful African sash, became more emphatic: &#8220;No manners &#8230; They drive like madmen.&#8221; She paused. &#8220;They are far more barbarian than I was warned. And I was warned, my dear, many times.&#8221;</p><p>In 2001, Great Britain&#8217;s online <em>Telegraph</em> newspaper noted</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Israelis &#8212; who take pride in being blunt and outspoken &#8212; are to teach children good manners in an attempt to cut the nation&#8217;s tendency towards violence. From the next school year, 12-year-olds will be taught how to behave politely, which knife and fork to use at table, and how to resolve arguments without shouting or coming to blows. Ronit Tirosh, director-general of the Education Ministry said: &#8220;We are a brutal and impatient society, and the delicacy learned through these lessons may reduce our society&#8217;s violent tendencies.&#8221; Israelis are proud not to say thank you and relish the informality of life &#8230; Israeli life is a bruising contest of one-upmanship. The deepest fear is to be thought a &#8220;sucker&#8221; who obeys the rules. Brusqueness has been cultivated by native-born Israelis as a reaction against the manners of Europe&#8217;s Diaspora Jews, who were seen as cringing and subservient &#8230; Educationalists have become worried about the level of playground violence.</p><p>Traditional Jewish <em>chutzpah</em> is of course an integral part of the Israeli identity. &#8220;To a large degree,&#8221; says Israeli professor Jay Gonen, &#8220;&#8230; Herzl&#8217;s impact [on Jewish nationalism] was due to a quality of <em>chutzpah</em>, or unmitigated gall, which became an integral part of Zionism and was subsequently elevated almost to an art form by native-born Israelis, or sabras.&#8221; An example of how far this <em>chutzpah</em> can go was evidenced in an incident during the Palestinian uprising &#8212; known as the Intifada &#8212; that began in 1987 against Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank. Of the hundreds of Palestinians shot and killed or wounded by Israeli troops in the Intifada&#8217;s first year, one young Arab teenager, Nasir Hawwash, was shot in the head and lay in a hospital, irrecoverably brain dead. One day Nasir&#8217;s brother received a telephone call from a Jewish Israeli citizen, an emissary for the family of a fellow middle-aged Israeli in the hospital with a serious heart condition. The stranger on the phone asked that the Hawwash family donate Nasir&#8217;s heart to save the Jewish man in the hospital who needed it.</p><p>&#8220;Nasir&#8217;s older brother,&#8221; notes Glenn Frankel, &#8220;was appalled that an Israeli would ask such a thing. She told him, &#8216;This is how we&#8217;ll make peace between Arabs and Jews.&#8217; He was not buying it. &#8216;How can you make peace when you shoot someone and then you take the heart to give life to another Israeli?&#8217; he told her.&#8221;</p><p>As the story for the heart request made the Israeli news, one Palestinian &#8220;radical&#8221; noted that &#8220;If we give the Israelis this heart, soon they&#8217;ll be shooting us for our organs.&#8221;</p><p>The Arab boy&#8217;s father was eventually offered &#8220;more money than [his] family would have seen in a lifetime&#8221; for his son&#8217;s heart, but he told the Israeli pleaders no. &#8220;What did they want from me?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;This was my son. They took him away, then they wanted his body. This I could not give.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>

Moments later, he shouts out &#8220;White Power! Fuck the Nigger!&#8221; Are Jews really metamorphosing into Nazis? In 100 years, will white people be extinct and Jews be the only people left with blonde hair, blue eyes, a nation state, and national pride?</p><p>We are also treated to the &#8220;My grandmother was in Auschwitz&#8211;Never Again!&#8221; argument. We are asked &#8220;What has Obama done for this country?&#8221; &#8220;What about the Jews? Are we chopped liver? Are we nothing to you? Do you care if we are driven into the sea? Do you care if we are nuked?&#8221; Apparently, we can never do enough for these people.</p><p>The most reasonable young Jew simply states that Obama &#8220;does not understand that this country is <em>ours</em>.&#8221; His tone shows that he really believes it, that there is no question in his mind, and that he does not need <em>us </em>to believe it in order for <em>him </em>to believe it. He is not pleading for us to grant his ideas credibility. Watch this segment, white man, and learn.</p><p>Judging from their accents, most of the young Jews interviewed are American citizens or dual citizens. One claims to have worked for the Obama campaign. I am sure that the Secret Service will want to have words with them the next time they land in New York.</p><p>The fact that none of them seemed intimidated by such a prospect indicates the extent to which they feel in control of America, even while they posture as terrified victims about to be driven into the sea. We are ruled by bullies with the psyches of cornered rats.</p><p>Blumenthal writes about his motives for creating this video and the reactions to its release in an article on the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/">Mondoweiss</a> site, &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.philipweiss.org/mondoweiss/2009/06/censored-by-the-huffington-post-and-imprisoned-by-the-past-why-i-made-feeling-the-hate-in-jerusalem-.html">Censored by the Huffington Post and Imprisoned by the Past: Why I Made &#8216;Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem.&#8217;</a>&#8221; Be sure to scroll down and also read the article &#8220;Blumenthal&#8217;s Video is a Reflection of Lieberman&#8217;s Israel.&#8221;</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxt9HwfPwPo"></a></p>]]></content:encoded>
