I realize very well that you are not carbon
copies of each other. And I also know that
there are many Jews around the world
who truly despise what Israel has been
doing to the Palestinian people in your name.

I earnestly commend these conscientious Jews for
their morality and human decency. It is these honest people
who enable us to retain the hope that counting on Judaic
morality is not a lost cause.
Non the less, there are huge numbers of Jews who have found
themselves transformed into soldiers of darkness and advocates of
evil. There are Jews who shamelessly advocate the total annihilation
of the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, these psychopaths are
not isolated or marginal figures. On the contrary, they are highly
respected by their hundreds of thousands of followers.
It is these misguided and misguiding multitudes of Jews I am
addressing in this brief article. And, in truth, my ultimate goa
l is not to vilify and demonize, but rather to warn and
admonish them to wake up from worshiping this modern
Golden Calf, otherwise known as the State of Israel.
To begin with, I would like to remind you of a Talmudic story,
which I believe is familiar to many of you. The story is told that
a heathen came to Shammai with the request to be accepted as a
convert on condition that he was taught the whole of the Torah
while he stood on one foot. The Rabbi drove him away with the
yard-stick which he was holding. He then went to Hillel with the
same request; and he said to him: “What is hateful to you
yourself, do not do to your fellow-man. That is the whole of
the Torah and the remainder is but commentary. Go, learn it.”
Yes, yes, what is hateful to yourself, don’t do to
your fellow-man. What beautiful words of light and wisdom!
Now are you mentally prepared to accept this universal law,
which nearly every Jew on earth would agree encapsulates
Judaic (and supposedly Jewish) morality?
If you are, then you should thoroughly examine your
attitudes toward Israel, a state that has more in common
with the ideas of Hitler than it doses with the teachings of Moses.
Israel is deceiving you, lying to you and betraying your moral
legacy, the legacy bequeathed by the Israelite prophets, and
their (our) forefather Ibrahim, who taught mankind “thou
shall not murder, thou shall not lie, and thou shall not
steal…..and be just.”
I am sorry to speak in such a harsh tone, but, in truth, Israel and
Zionism succeeded through the years in transforming you from
a people who believe in justice and value morality into
murderers and justifiers of murder, into thieves and justifiers
of theft, and into liars who have to change the black into white
and the white into black in order to cover up their shame, and
then call the lies strange names such as hasbara and public
relations and political correctness.
In your name, Israel, knowingly and deliberately, is
slaughtering innocent people, including children.
This is not done by mistake as Israeli leaders and spokespeople
would falsely claim. When “mistakes “ happen every day and
every hour and every minute, they are no longer mistakes.
They are policy. Besides the images are too graphic to be
ignored and too obscenely brazen to be dismissed as
“Arab propaganda.” They transcend reality.
In your name, Israel has been carrying out ethnic cleansing, in
its ugliest forms, all under the pretext of “maintaining Israel’s
Jewish identity!!” you see the pornographic oppression, coming
from a people who claim to adhere to the Ten Commandments.
In your name, Israel in the summer of 2006 dropped millions
of cluster bombs or bomblets all over South Lebanon. Is this the
light upon the nations that you claim to be? Shame on you!
It is because of your crimes against man and God that we,
the Palestinians, have effectively become “the Jews of our time,”
while you have effectively become the “anti-Semites of our time.”
You, the Jews, the victims of the holocaust, and the numerous
pogroms and inquisitions, have turned out to be like all
underdogs, when you get on the top, you become as murderous
and as brutal to your victims as your former oppressors were to
you when you were underneath.
The Nazis looked down on Jews and others as untermensch, and
you are looking down on us as “Arabs”.!! The Nazis sought
expansion at their neighbors’ expense and called it “lebensraum.”
And you are doing the same, under the pretext of building
“housing units for Jews.” The Nazis carried out “pacifications”
in which innocent people were mercilessly killed; and you
carry out “defensive operations” during which you wreak
death and havoc on innocent people. At least the Nazis didn’t
lie about their criminality as much as you do about yours. You a
re not only evil murderers and great child killers.
You are also nefarious liars.
The Nazis believed in an Aryan “master race” and you, Zionists,
are trying to make a “race” out of Jews. Your methods are similar
and your goals are nearly identical.
You can’t deny this; we are not naïve North Americans or
Europeans whom you think you can bamboozle very easily.
We have been through it all, from creation to destruction.
I am saying this because in the final analysis when people, any
people, including Jews, behave and act as the Nazis did, they
themselves become Nazis. Evil, whether done by a “master race”
or a “chosen people” is evil. Evil can’t be kosher. True, there are
no gas chambers in Gaza and Hebron. But you are killing us with
F-16 fighters and tanks and artillery and apache helicopters. So,
the outcome is the same. Besides, the writing is literally on the
wall. Come to Hebron and see for yourselves.
Too harsh?
No, it is not, because if what is happening today in Palestine at the
hands of holocaust children and grand children and great
grandchildren is having no effects on your individual and
collective conscience, it is immensely naïve to think that you
will experience a moral awakening when the pharaohs of Israel,
people like Matan Vilnai, choose to carry out their threatened
“greater holocaust” against our people.
Many of you may be forgiven for being ignorant of Israel’s reality
of evil. But you are not a people of ignorance. Which means you
are doing and supporting evil knowingly and consciously.
If so, you are no better than your past tormentors.
Don’t be so excited about America’s unlimited and unrestricted
support and backing. America is not helping you to uphold your
moral principles, America is “helping” you to destroy these
principles, which you are doing anyway.
Needles to say, when an evil power “helps” you corrode your
moral system, this should not be a cause for joy and satisfaction.
I am sure that wise men and women amongst you understand
the meaning of my words.
Finally, I call on you to wake up from this toxic arrogance of power,
this collective megalomania and false sense of triumph. You are
actually experiencing a collective psychosis, a virtual moral
meltdown. Hence, you are really in a big trouble.
And, now, a few words to Jews in Israel-Palestine. Soon you will be
celebrating Israel’s 60th anniversary, which is for us is a profoundly
inauspicious occasion commemorating evil and genocide.
Because you destroyed our homes, obliterated our towns and
villages, perpetrated untold massacres, and expelled the bulk of our
people, at gun point, to the four corners of the globe. And you had
the audacity to call all of this evil “war of independence” and to claim
that “they just fled away…”!!!
Notwithstanding , you are still as blind as you are
brutal despite the passage of 60 years.
If you had invested a fraction of the means at your disposal;
if you had used your energies and industriousness and creativity
for peace with your neighbors, peace would have been realized
a long time ago.
But you were not interested in peace then as you are not interested
in peace now. Instead you were busy then and as you are busy now
stealing our land and building thereon Jewish-only settlements in
habited by fanatical settlers who are taught that the only way to
expedite the appearance of the “redeemer” is by shedding
non-Jewish blood and doing evil.
Well, since when murder and evil can produce good?
Non the less, it is perhaps not too late to try to
rectify your evil ways and morbid thinking.
Try to reach out to the Palestinians and Arabs and Muslims.
Remember, this is a predominantly Muslim region, and in a few
decades, there will be 700 or 800 million Muslims in your vicinity.
Think about your future generations. Maybe, just maybe,
America’s military and economic power will have gone
with the wind by then.
More over, try to show respect to Islam, because without
respecting Islam, you don’t really respect Judaism. This is
instead of vilifying the religion that describes the Torah as
“a book of light.”
And stop this dishonorable alliance with those pseudo-Christian
maniacs who advocate and actively push for a worldwide
Armageddon in which hundreds of millions of people,
including 99% of Jews, would perish, all in order to induce the
second advent of Jesus.
But above all, stop killing and tormenting the helpless Palestinians
for you had been helpless yourselves. Stop killing their children.
Stop destroying their homes. Stop confiscating their land. Stop
imprisoning their sons unjustly. Stop narrowing their horizons.
Stop your mass murder, mass terror and mass oppression.
Stop making a hell out of our daily life. Yes, stop it, if not for justice
and human decency, then for your own safety. Oppression
boomerangs as we saw recently in Jerusalem.
And don’t get emboldened by American officials who tell you
…Kill, kill, kill and we will stand by you! because America and its
immoral politicians are thousands of miles away…but we are
destined to be neighbors, or even citizens of the same state.
And remember, it is not an act of heroism to murder
unprotected innocent civilians, using the state-of-the-art of
America’s technology of death. History won’t be kind to you.
What heroism is there in having an F-16 fighter rain death on
sleeping children and women at a refugee camp?
