Tacitus, The Jews1 [Editor's Emphasis]

" . . . Egypt was once plagued by a wasting disease . . . So Pharaoh Bocchoris went to the oracle. . .  and was told to purify his kingdom by expelling the victims . . . Thus a multitude of sufferers was . . . abandoned in the wilderness. . . Moses, urged his companions not to wait passively for help from god or man, for both had deserted them . . . They traveled . . .  and on the seventh [day] they expelled the previous inhabitants of Canaan, and took over their lands and in them built a holy city and temple."1a

" . . . The other practices of the Jews are sinister and revolting, and have entrenched themselves by their very wickedness. Wretches of the most abandoned kind . . . took to contributing dues and free-will offerings to swell the Jewish exchequer; and other reasons for their increasing wealth may be found in their stubborn loyalty and ready benevolence towards brother Jews. But the rest of the world they confront with the hatred reserved for enemies."1b

" . . . These kings . . . regained control by force, setting up a reign of terror which embraced . . .  the banishment of fellow-citizens, the destruction of cities, and the murder of brothers, wives and parents. The kings encouraged the superstitious Jewish religion, for they assumed the office of High Priest in order to buttress their regime."1c

"The majority were convinced that . . . the Orient would triumph and from Judea would go forth men destined to rule the world."1d

Theodor Herzl, The Jewish State2 [Editor's Emphasis]

"The nations in whose midst Jews live are all either covertly or openly Anti-Semitic."2a

"We are what the Ghetto made us. We have attained pre-eminence in finance, because mediaeval conditions drove us to it. The same process is now being repeated. We are again being forced into finance, now it is the stock exchange, by being kept out of other branches of economic activity."2b

"Shall we choose Palestine or Argentine? . . .
. . . If His Majesty the Sultan were to give us Palestine, we could in return undertake to regulate the whole finances of Turkey."2c

"The Jewish Company is an organization with a transitional character. It is strictly a business undertaking, and must be carefully distinguished from the Society of Jews. . .
. . . All the immense profits of this speculation in land will go to the Company, which is bound to receive this indefinite premium in return for having borne the risk of the undertaking. . .  Financial morality consists in the correlation of risk and profit."2d

 

In the land of the free, Helen Thomas, the dean of the White House press corps, has every right to express her views – unadulterated, unfiltered, absolutely free!

U.S. and Canada have "Freedom of the Press" – not freedom for the Chosen Press!

Let Thomas's opponents cringe. Zionists may not like what Helen Thomas said3, but more than a billion souls around the world understand exactly what she meant. Zionists may hate Tacitus, and Arabs may hate Herzl, but both Penguin Books Ltd. and Dover Publications Inc. have the right to publish the works of Tacitus and Herzl. And you, my reader, have the right to express your views on both Tacitus and Herzl – notwithstanding the hatred of others.

For the dim-witted, thick-headed opponents of free speech in America, here's what more than a billion people understand:

  • Zionists cannot rob or steal Palestinian property under the guise of a "Covenant" with G-d – then accuse the victims who dare to fight back of being "suspected terrorists."

  • European horror (the brutal killing by "civilized" Europeans of 6 million Jews) and European guilt vis-ΰ-vis Jews is not an excuse for a 60-year+ Zionist occupation of Palestine.

  • Europe's Holocaust with its real and tangible residues in Germany and Poland does not justify Zionist plunder of Palestine.

Miller's remarks in "Why Are We Tolerating Helen Thomas' Journalistic Hypocrisy?"4, and Fleischer's and Davis's pronouncements are utter nonsense. Everyone understands that Helen Thomas did not intend to ask "all blacks to go back to Africa." We all know better: Blacks were brought into America as slaves to serve European slave-masters intent on colonizing the Americas. Both Ari Fleischer and Lanny Davis are free to express their opinions (even when these are distorted or perverted or the result of ignorance) – but they also have to learn to tolerate the freedom of expression of others. The bad news for Miller and company is that there are now a lot of vocal others.

So exactly why all the fuss now? Pay heed, Helen Thomas's remarks (rough and controversial as they are) mark a momentous event:

  • The Clausewitzian "culminating point of [Palestinian moral] victory."

  • The end of Palestinian Defense, and the beginning of the World's Attack on all the unjust advantages of fringe Zionism over Gentiles.

"Being a Jew in the world" ought not to mean being more clever, more tricky, more moneyed, more powerful, more evil, more malicious, and more cruel than others in the world. This is unfortunately what many Zionists appear to have learned in, from, and through a cruel Europe – before, during, and after Auschwitz.

I hope intelligent Jews will take heed and figure what "being a peaceful Jew in a peaceful world" really means –
before it is too late for Jews (and Gentiles). Jews have assembled nuclear weapons; others can assemble them too.
