In America, the Zionist domination of the media is so great that it is almost on the verge of becoming a 'Jews-only' industry. In American politics, the Zionists are taking over more and more departments of state.

"The neoconservatives are the greatest threat America has ever faced, and they control the Office of the President, the Office of the Vice President, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the police-state apparatus known as "Homeland Security." (Paul Craig Roberts 'Outfoxed by bin Laden'.

The chances of a Muslim or an Arab person getting a job in an American administration are virtually zero. If current trends continue then we are headed for a 'Jews-only' American state where the only non-Jews permitted will be Shabbat goys who support everything done by Ariel Sharon. 

It might be argued that the above criticisms of the Jews-only state, with its Jews-only laws, Jews-only rights, Jews-only cemeteries, Jews-only property ownership, Jews-only roads running between Jews-only settlements/towns/cities, Jews-only immigration, Jews-only employment, Jews-only marriages, Jews-only religion, Jews-only international laws, Jews-only taboos, openly racist Jewish politicians, etc. might have some merit but this is ruined by the use of the word Jew which suggests such criticisms are at the very least anti-Semitic if not racist. Kathleen and bill Christison avoid any charge of anti-Semitism or racism by talking about "Israeli-only settlements, Israeli-only roads" (Kathleen and Bill Christison 'On Israel/Palestine An Exchange with Bennie Morris'.

But, as has been suggested above, this is not technically correct. Although Palestinian- Israelis are theoretically allowed to travel on these roads, in practice this is not possible because the roads link one Jews-only settlement/town/city to another. It is much more accurate to say that they are Jews-only roads running between Jews-only settlements.

But surely, it might be argued, the use of the phrase "Jews-only" is wrong since it condemns all Jewish people around the world for what is being done in their name by the Zionist state in Palestine.

Aren't these "Jews-only" criticisms blatantly wrong because they have got nothing to do with Jews around the world? With some notable exceptions on what is regarded as the political extremes, no mainstream Jewish organization anywhere around the world has demanded that the Zionist state abides by UN resolutions, or that it gives up its weapons of mass destruction in the same way as these organizations demanded such things of Saddam. No criticisms have been made of the Zionist state's Jews-only immigration or Jews-only settlements or Jews-only marriages or Jews-only property.

In other words, virtually all Jews around the world support the Jews-only nature of the Zionist state in Palestine and the Zionist state's flouting of international law.

Kathleen Christison paints an accurate picture of the nature of the Jewish support for the Zionist state. She starts off by talking about the views of the Jewish historian Benny Morris. "This was a day or two after this paragon of dispassionate Israeli scholarship had expostulated in an interview published in Ha'aretz on the benefits (if you're Jewish) of ethnic cleansing, the critical miscalculation of David Ben-Gurion in not having completed the total ethnic cleansing of Palestine from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River in 1948 when he had a chance, and the barbarity of Arab and Muslim culture. "The Arab world as it is today is barbarian," Morris declared. Islamic and Arab culture is "a world in which human life doesn't have the same value as it does in the West," in which freedom and democracy are alien, in which there are "no moral inhibitions." He was speaking in sweeping terms, of entire cultures, of the mass of individuals in the Arab and the Muslim worlds, not merely of governments that are oppressive or undemocratic. Palestinians in particular, Morris believes, are barbaric, "a very sick society," and should be treated "the way we treat individuals who are serial killers. . . . Something like a cage has to be built for them." (Kathleen Christison 'American Jewish sensitivities to criticism of Israel'.

Morris's comments are blatantly anti-Palestinian and racist, and yet he regards himself as still being a leftist. If leftist Jews can hold such views then just imagine the views of those on the right of the political spectrum. Christison concludes, "Benny Morris - who still considers himself a leftist, still favors establishment of a Palestinian state in part of Palestine, still exposes Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians in his examination of early Israeli history - is one of those people Meir Keohane was describing, and he speaks for large numbers of his fellow Israelis and his fellow Jews throughout the world. Morris's blunt soul-bearing has lifted the last barrier of propriety to the open _expression_ of raw Arab hatred. One longs for some gigantic outcry of opposition or disgust over this confession of deep bigotry, but there has been none. Except for a few letters to the editor of Ha'aretz from American Jews, the interview has aroused little attention in the Jewish-American community: no denunciation, no shock, little or no discussion on any but the most progressive Jewish e-mail lists. You have to assume that, however awkward Morris's blunt language may be, he is speaking for a large segment of American Jews who say they oppose the occupation, say they hate Sharon, say they hate Israel's oppression of the Palestinians, but who do nothing about any of these things and who in the end would not grieve, either for the Palestinians or for the Jewish soul, if Israel wiped the Palestinians off the map." (Kathleen Christison 'American Jewish sensitivities to criticism of Israel'.


Michael Neumann reaches similar conclusions to Christison but from a philosophical standpoint, "Do we want to say it is antisemitic to accuse, not just the Israelis, but Jews generally of complicity in these crimes against humanity? Again, maybe not, because there is a quite reasonable case for such assertions. Compare them, for example, to the claim that Germans generally were complicit in such crimes. This never meant that every last German, man, woman, idiot and child, were guilty. It meant that most Germans were.

Their guilt, of course, did not consist in shoving naked prisoners into gas chambers. It consisted in support for the people who planned such acts, or - as many overwrought, moralistic Jewish texts will tell you - for denying the horror unfolding around them, for failing to speak out and resist, for passive consent. Note that the extreme danger of any kind of active resistance is not supposed to be an excuse here. Well, virtually no Jew is in any kind of danger from speaking out. And speaking out is the only sort of resistance required. If many Jews spoke out, it would have an enormous effect.

But the overwhelming majority of Jews do not, and in the vast majority of cases, this is because they support Israel. Now perhaps the whole notion of collective responsibility should be discarded; perhaps some clever person will convince us that we have to do this. But at present, the case for Jewish complicity seems much stronger than the case for German complicity. So if it is not racist, and reasonable, to say that the Germans were complicit in crimes against humanity, then it is not racist, and reasonable, to say the same of the Jews.

And should the notion of collective responsibility be discarded, it would still be reasonable to say that many, perhaps most adult Jewish individuals support a state that commits war crimes, because that's just true. So if saying these things is antisemitic, than it can be reasonable to be anti-Semitic. In short, the real scandal today is not anti-Semitism but the importance it is given. Israel has committed war crimes. It has implicated Jews generally in these crimes, and Jews generally have hastened to implicate themselves.

This has provoked hatred against Jews. Why not? Some of this hatred is racist, some isn't, but who cares? Why should we pay any attention to this issue at all?" (Michael Neumann 'What is Anti-Semitism?'

The jews-only policies outlined above are the manifestations of the perennial Jewish belief in their chosenness, their superiority over all other races on Earth. As Hannah ardent once argued, "If you do not dissent then you consent."
