Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning. How are you doing. It's been a while,
I know, been busy as heck, and really because I
cover so much in my live stream, so much on
the episodes, and then so much on the OGC live
stream on Thursday nights Old Loric Club livestream on Thursday nights,
when it comes to what's been happening currently, I really

(00:26):
haven't had much to talk about. So I apologize, but
I'm back because I found a book. I didn't find it.
It's been recommended to me over the years, and I
finally got a chance to sit down with it, read
the first couple chapters, and I was like, oh, you know,
I haven't done anything on substack. So many people support

(00:47):
me on substack, and I really appreciate it, thank you
very much. So I thought, well, why not start something
and see where it goes. I've gotten used to having
doctor Johnson what me doing two hundred years together, so
he could comments on it and provide background into it.
But in my reading of this there was so it

(01:10):
was so well explained, and it's very short. The book
itself is almost two hundred pages, but the whole book
is almost two hundred pages. But the basically the long
essay that she came up with and split into chapters.
Miss Allison Weir, who wrote this book against our better judgment,
The subtitle is the Hidden History of how the US

(01:31):
was used to create Israel. I don't know. I don't
have an el on Alison Weir, and it really doesn't matter.
What matters is what's in the book. And I thought, yeah,
well why not read this. It's short, it's a subject
that a lot of people don't know a lot about.
I thought I knew a lot about it, and there's

(01:51):
stuff in here that I didn't know. And yeah, everything
I've read so far has been something that, you know,
you could use this to show people who don't understand
that this is not a holy alliance and that the
founding of Israel wasn't something that should be celebrated. It

(02:16):
wasn't a land without a people for a people without
a land. So yeah, this is what I decided to do.
And I don't know how long these are going to be,
Probably not long, but see yeah when my voice starts
getting tired. But yeah, I thought i'd start going through
this book, do a little bit of introductions today and
get through at least the first chapter, maybe the second,

(02:38):
So this book Dean Atchison, he is a US statesman
nineteen forty seven. Let's take a look. Do this in
real time, see what it says. He was an American
politician and lawyer, was the fifty first US Secretary of State.
He set the foreign policy of Harry S. Truman. So

(03:00):
he wasn't a a journalist, he wasn't a blogger of
the time. He didn't have a newsletter of the time.
He was actually a secretary of State, helped to set
foreign policy. So what he has to say in the

(03:21):
blurb at the top of the book is creating Israel
on land already inhabited by Palestinians would imperil not only
American but all Western interests in the Near East. He
said that in nineteen forty seven, before State of Israel
was que unquote founded. So just to scroll a little
bit here, sure at this in twenty fourteen. I'm sure

(03:43):
she started researching it earlier. There the she had some acknowledgments,
but she says a couple other things she says in
the in the intro was She's asked how she became
so intensely interested, and she said, like most Americans, she
felt the region had little to do with her. In

(04:04):
the fall of two thousand, when the Second Intofada, the
Palestinian uprising, was in the news, she grew curious about
it and decided to look into the conflict, and quickly
noticed it was one sided coverage. So she used her
background in journalism and got the newly available Internet to

(04:26):
notice a drastic pattern of Israeli violence against Palestinians at
mainstream US news organizations, we're revealing and of course, I mean,
this is something we shouldn't even have to worry about, right,
This isn't something we should have an interest. And there
are things like this are happening all over the world.
There are massacres happening every day, there are lands being

(04:49):
taken every day. But Israel holds a insane influence over
this country, let's just say, much more so than Kuzar
or Cutter, however you want to pronounce it. So she said,
she just started going through it, and she started doing
her research, and yeah, she decided that she was going

(05:13):
to turn this into She says, a lot of this
is a collection of her articles from the trip. Now,
like I said, it's one hundred and seventy nine pages.
The first eighty to eighty five are the book. But
then she has so many endnotes, and she said she
just felt like she had to do the endnotes. She
wanted to keep the basis of the article slash book

(05:35):
small enough so that people would want to read it,
So she made the endnotes into something completely different that
you can go, We can go and look through. But
I want to concentrate on the basis of the text.
So let me start reading and see where this goes.
See how you like it. Chapter one. How the US
special relationship with Israel came about. While many people are

(05:59):
liable the US support for Israel is driven by the
American establishment and US national interests, the facts don't support
this theory. The reality is that for decades, US foreign
policy and defense experts opposed supporting the creation of Israel.
They then similarly opposed the massive American funding and diplomatic
support that sustained the forcibly established state and that provided

(06:21):
a blank check for its aggressive expansion. They were simply
outmaneuvered and eventually replaced. Talking about the experts, the defense
experts and foreign policy experts who spoke out against this.
Like many American policies, US Middle East policies are driven
by a special interest lobby. However, the Israel lobby, as

(06:41):
it is called today in the US as a footnote there,
consists of vastly more than what most people envision in
the world in the word lobby. Let me pull that
up on a separate screen so that I can look
at some of the follow along on a separate screen,
look at some of the footnotes as we do this together,

(07:05):
and see where she's I'm assuming Israel lobby is probably
going to link to, yeah, says in Israel, it's typically
called the Jewish lobby, perhaps reflective of the fact that
today virtually all the mainstream Jewish organizations in the US,
both secular, religious and secular, the ADL, Jewish Federations, Jewish

(07:27):
Community Relations Council, Conference of Presidents of major Jewish said, YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA,
all of these advocate for Israel. And she has a list.
She has a link to a list there. So yeah,
so we can see you follow this along and use
see where she's pulling this from reading on, as this

(07:50):
book will demonstrate, the Israel lobby is considerably more powerful
and pervasive than other lobbies. Components of it both individuals
and groups have worked underground, secretly and even illegally, through
at its history as documented by scholars and participants not
those kind of scholars, and even through the movement. For
even though the Movement for Israel has been operating in
the US for over one hundred years, most Americans are

(08:12):
completely unaware of this movement and its attendant ideology, a
measure of its unique influence over public knowledge. What is
she saying there? Saying? How does the public get knowledge
of these things? I think this is some kind of
troupe she's hinting at the success of this movement to

(08:34):
achieve its goals, partly due to the hidden nature of
much of its activity, has been staggering. It has also
common in almost unimaginable cost. It has led to massive
tragedy in the Middle East, one hundred year war of
violence and loss, sacred land soaked in sorrow. In addition,
this movement has been profoundly damaging to the United States itself,
as we will see in this two part examination of

(08:56):
the pro Israel movement. It has targeted virtually every significant
section of American society work to involve Americans in tragic,
unnecessary and profoundly costly wars, dominated Congress for decades, increasingly
determined which candidates could become serious contenders for the US presidency,
and promoted bigotry toward an entire population, religion, and culture.

(09:18):
I will remind you that there are going to be
things that we are Alison Weir is, as far as
I can tell, she's not one of us. So there
may be language in here where you roll your eyes
at it. We're here for the information you're not going
to agree with with everyone, so all right. It has

(09:39):
promoted policies that have endangered Americans, Americans to exposed Americans
to growing danger, and then exaggerated this danger while disguising
its cause feeling actions that dismember some of our nation's
most fundamental freedoms and cherished principles. Another footnote this is
see example Tom Steve in Civil Liberties after September eleventh,

(10:02):
the CounterPunch article A report, A report, a call to
courage reclaiming art Liberty ten years after nine to eleven
from the ACLU. Like I said, she's she's going to
pull from people that I don't think she's going to
be quoting American Renaissance here and that's okay, all right,

(10:27):
all this for a population that is considerably smaller than
New Jerseys. That's how she ends Chapter one, short but sweet.
Chapter two, the beginnings the Israel Lobby of the US
is just the tip of an older and much and
far larger iceberg known as political Zionism and an international

(10:49):
movement that began in the late eighteen hundreds with the
goal of creating a Jewish state somewhere in the world.
In eighteen ninety seven, this movement, led by a European
quote unquote European journalist named Theodore Hertzel, coalesced in the
First Zionist Congress Tells in Basil, Switzerland, which established a
World Zionist organization representsing one hundred and seventeen groups the

(11:12):
first year, nine hundred the next. So let me see
about Let's see Hertzel here? What is it? Oh? We
got here. Hertzel is considered the founder of political Zionism,
is often referred to as the father of Israel. His
seminal book The Jewish State is online. Heretz says Hertzel

(11:36):
devoted all his time to the movement, eventually dying at
the age of forty four. Leaving his family penniless. All right,
let's keep reading. There's another immediate one here. They said
nine hundred the next So the first year of the
World Zionist Congress was representing one hundred and seventeen groups,

(11:57):
and then nine hundred the next. And there is a
Theresa's Kathleen Christian Christensen. Perceptions of Palestine their influence on
US Middle Eastern policy from a book from two thousand
John Herbert Davis, The Evasive Peace, A Study of the
Zionist Arab Problem versus. That's a book for New World Press,

(12:20):
nineteen seventy. It was called the Zionist Organization. Its name
officially changed to World Zionist Organization in nineteen sixty. Most
people use the two names interchangeably, okay, So more there
of what we're reading and where she's footnoting. While Zioni
is considered such places as Argentina, Uganda, and the Mediterranean

(12:42):
island of Cyprus and Texas. They eventually settled on Palestine
for the location of their proposed Jewish state, even though
Palestine was already inhabited by a population that was ninety
three to ninety six percent non Jewish. So when you
hear them say a land without a people for a
people without a land, They're lying. They're lying, They're lying.

(13:12):
So there's just some more. Another footnote number six goes
to connects to a book. Footnote number seven says, oh,
here's a good one. Number seven the best analysis says

(13:35):
the population was ninety six percent Muslim, Muslims and Christians,
who owned ninety nine percent of the land. After the
Zionis Congress, Vienna's rabbis sent two of their numbers to
explore Palestine as a possible Jewish state. These rabbis recognize
the obstacle that Palestinians presents it to plan to the plan,
writing home, the bride is beautiful, but she is married

(13:56):
to another man. Still, Zionis ultimately pushed forward. Numerous Zionist diary, entrees, letters,
and other documents show that they decided to push out
these non Jews financially if possible, violently if necessary. So
what are violently if necessary? That's by Nur a book

(14:20):
by Ner Massalha, Expulsion of the Palestinians The Concept of
Transferring Zionist Political Thought, eighteen eighty two to nineteen forty eight, Washington, DC,
Institute for Palestine studies aliety. So let's keep going. We
lay off these, lay off these footnotes so much only

(14:43):
maybe an important one. Political Zionism in the US. The
importance of the United States to this movement was recognized
from early on. One of the founders of political Zionism,
Max Nordau, wrote a few years after the Basel Conference,
Zionism's only hope is the Jews of America, which means

(15:03):
that really, anyone who's using the name Max Nordau or
as a fan of Max Nordau, should want the Jews,
should want all Jews to go to Israel. This is
the only hope. That's what their namesake said. At that
time and for decades after, the large majority of Jewish

(15:25):
Americans were not Zionists. In fact, many actively opposed Zionism.
In the coming years, however, Zionists were to woo them
assiduously with every means at hand. The extent of which
Nordau's hope was eventually realized is indicated by the statement
by a prominent author on Jewish history, Naomi Cohen, who
in two thousand and three wrote quoting but for the

(15:48):
financial support and political pressure of American Jews, Israel might
not have been born in nineteen forty eight, So you
had a group of people who were wealthy and had
political power who were advocating for someplace else. How, my

(16:13):
great grandfather had been here, let's see thirty eight years
in nineteen forty eight. He was advocating for America. My
grandfather was born here, he had just served in World
War Two. He wasn't thinking about going anywhere else, and

(16:36):
he's buried here. So this might be added Zionists success
in influencing American politicians, the media, and much of the
general public. Groups advocating the setting up of a Jewish
state had first begun popping up around the United States
in the eighteen eighties. Emma Lazarus, the poet whose words

(16:59):
I Don't adorned the Statue of Liberty, promoted Zionism throughout
this decade. A precursor to the American Flag was created
in Boston in eighteen ninety one. So Emma Lazarus wrote
the famous poem on the Statue of Liberty, saying that
people from all over the world should be allowed into

(17:21):
the United States without you know, without exception. She made
it sound like anybody could come here. While she was
promoting her own people having her own country. A precursor
to the Israeli flag was created in Boston in eighteen

(17:42):
ninety one. In eighteen eighty seven, President Grover Cleveland appointed
a Jewish ambassador to Turkey, seat of the Ottoman Empire,
which at that time controlled Palestine. Because of Palestine's importance
to Zionists. Think about that Jewish ambassador of to Turkey.
Jewish historian David G. Dalan reports that presidents considered the

(18:07):
Turkish embassy important to the growing number of Zionists within
the American Jewish electorate. The growing number of Zionists within
the American Jewish electorate a group of people who want
their own land. But then when it's founded, they don't go.

(18:29):
A lot of them some of them went, A lot
of them didn't. Well, why why isn't that a good
I always thought that that was a really good question.
It might be something of a loaded question, but it's
a good question. Every president, both Republican and Democrat, followed

(18:51):
this president for the next thirty years. During this year,
the ambassadorship to Turkey came to be considered a quasi
Jewjewish domain, writestalin So. Thirty years after eighteen eighty seven,
If you wanted to be the ambassador to Turkey, you'd

(19:13):
better be a Zionist. You'd better be Jewish. By the
early eighteen nineties, organizations promoting Zionism existed in New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia,
and Cleveland. Reports from the Zionist World Council in Basel,
which four Americans had attended, gave this movement a major stimulus,

(19:36):
galvanizing Zionist activities in American Zionist activities in American cities
that haired large Jewish populations. In eighteen ninety seven and
ninety eight, Zionists founded numerous additional societies throughout the East
and the Midwest. In eighteen ninety eight, they converged in
a first Annual Conference of American Zionists held in New

(19:58):
York on July fourth. There they formed the Federation of
American Zionists FAZ. It did on July fourth, the first
Annual Conference of American Zionists. People who have who are
going to advocate for their own country, they do it

(20:18):
on July fourth. By the nineteen tens, a number of
Zionists in the US approached twenty thousand and included lawyers,
professors and businessmen. Even in its infancy, when it was
still relatively weak and represented only a tiny fraction of
the American Jewish population, Zionism was becoming a movement to
which congressmen, particularly in the Eastern cities, began to listen.

(20:42):
The movement continued to expand. By nineteen fourteen, several additional
Zionist groups had formed, including Hadasa, the Woman's Zionist Organization.
By nineteen eighteen there were one hundred there were by
nineteen eighteen there were two hundred thousand Zionists in the US,
and by nineteen forty eight that had grown to almost

(21:04):
a million, so nineteen ten twenty thousand, roughly nineteen eighteen
two hundred thousand, thirty years later, almost a million. From

(21:24):
early on, Zionists actively pushed air agenda in the media.
One Zionist organizer proudly proclaimed in nineteen twelve quoting the
zealous and incessant propaganda which is carried on by countless societies.
The Yiddish press, from a very early period espoused the
Zionist cause. By nineteen twenty three, every New York Yiddish

(21:47):
newspaper except one was Zionist. Yiddish dailies reached five hundred
and thirty five thousand families in nineteen twenty seven. This
in the United States, not in Russia. Not while Zionists
were making major inroads and influencing Congress and the media,
State Department officials were less enamored with Zionists, who they

(22:08):
felt were trying to use the American government for a
project damaging to the United States. These are smart people.
These are the people Stormy and I talked about in
our Robber Barons series. Unlike politicians, State department officials were
not dependent on votes and campaign donations. They were charged
with recommending and implementing policies beneficial to all Americans, not

(22:32):
just one tiny sliver working on behalf of a foreign entity.
In memo after memo, year after year, US diplomatic and
military experts pointed out that Zionism was countered to both
the US interests and principles. Why would that be Why

(22:53):
would they think that? Is that because they were anti Semites?
Is that because they were low IQ US diplomatic and
military experts. They're just not smart people. You know, probably
from the South eighty eighty IQs or maybe as Leo Pinsker,
you know, one of the fathers of Zionism, said, anti

(23:15):
Semitism is just a hereditary It was passed down to them.
I don't think that's it at all, but you know,
if they can be a hyperbolic sosicnent way. While more
examples will be discussed later, Secretary of State Filander Knox
was perhaps the first in the pattern of State Department
officials rejecting Zionist advances. In nineteen twelve, the Zionists Literary

(23:38):
Society approached its alf administration for an endorsement. Knox turned
them down flat, noting that problems of Zionism involved certain
matters primarily related to the interests of countries other than
our own. He's saying, we're America. This has nothing to
do with us, so go away. Despite the small set

(23:59):
back in the nine ten twelve, Zionists garnered a far
more significant victory in the same year, one that was
to have enormous consequences both internationally and in the United States.
And that was a part pattern of influence that continues
through today. I think I'm gonna stop right there. That's enough.
Do the little intro, read the first two short chapters,

(24:22):
and then come back in a couple of days and
do Lewis Brandeis Zionism and the Perusium. All right, So yeah,
I'm I want to do more for everybody who supports
on substack. It's such a great platform and the fact
that you guys support me through it is is great

(24:45):
and you know, I appreciate it. And like I said,
I think this is a good book to go through.
It'll be pretty short and can look for something else
to look down the line. That. So yeah, that's it
and I'll be back in a couple of days. Take care,
but welcome back to part two of my reading of

(25:09):
Against Our Better Judgment by Alison Weir picking. I gonna
pick right up chapter three where I left off. Just
a reminder this a lot of this may be remedial
to some of you, so you may just skip over it.
That's fine, that's it's not for you. You know, there
are people who can dig, who are willing, like myself,

(25:31):
to dig much deeper into this, people who are willing
to listen to Daryl's Darryl's whole. I forget how many
hours fear and loathing in the New Jerusalem is. But
you know, even some a lot of that doesn't go
into this because this really concentrates on the American side.
So yeah, like I said, don't know much about miss

(25:55):
Weir explained if you want to know, I went over
a little bit what of her background or why she
did why she said she wrote this on the first episode.
I wouldn't start with this episode. I'd go to the
next episode. So yep, I'm just going to jump right in,
picking up where we left off. Chapter three. Lewis Brandeis,

(26:19):
Zionism and the Parisium. In nineteen twelve, prominent Jewish American
attorney Lewis Brandeis, who was to go on to become
a Supreme Court justice, became a Zionist. Within two years,
he became head of the International Zionist Central Office, newly
moved to America from Germany. While Brandeis is an unusually

(26:41):
well known Supreme Court justice, most Americans are aware of
the significant are unaware of the significant role he played
in World War One and his connection to Palestine. Some
of this work was done by Felix Frankfurter, who became
a Supreme Court justice two decades later. Perhaps that's the
aspect of Brandeis that is least known to the general public,

(27:03):
and often even to academics, is the extent of his
zealotry and the degree to which he used covert measures
to achieve his aims covert who would have thought. While
today Brandice is held in extremely high esteem by almost
all Americans, there was significant opposition at the time to

(27:25):
his appointment to the Supreme Court, largely centered on widespread
accusations of unethical behavior. A typical example was the view
that Brandeis was a man who was a man who
has certain high ideals in his imagination, but who is
utterly unscrupulous in method in reaching them. That's a quote

(27:47):
from Let's see where that's a quote from. That is
from Melvin Urofsky's Lewis D. Brandeis, a life published in
two thousand and nine. Erosky and a Raal Israeli partisan
and Brandeis champion. While noting that the campaign against Brandis
centered on ethical questions, attributed the motivation to political differences.

(28:11):
All right, while today's such criticisms of Brandeis are either
ignored or attributed to political differences or anti Semitism. Let's
stop right there and go to thirty regarding the possible
role of anti Semitism, in the opposition to Brandeis. This
is in her notes. In her footnote, it seems that
his ethnicity may actually have enhanced his chances. Many Jewish leaders,

(28:35):
while disliking his Zionism, felt they must support him. Why
would that be? Many Jewish leaders, while disliking his Zionism,
felt they must must support him. Why because of identity. Similarly,

(28:58):
many non Jews, fearful of being called anti Semitic, remained silent.
Journalist Gus Carger reported at the time that quoting many
senators who might base their opposition to him on sound
and logical grounds if he were a Presbyterian, are reluctant
to take a stand lest they lest their opposition be misconstrued.

(29:19):
That is a quote from page four point forty of
the above mentioned Lewis D. Brandeis a Life by Eurofsky
Bruce Allen Murphy. So two also they're up. That's next
footnote pardon me so? While today many such let me

(29:41):
finish the sentence. While today many such criticisms of Brandeis
are either ignored or attributed to political differences and or
anti Semitism, there is evidence suggesting that such views may
have been more accurate than Brandeis's partisans would like. In
nineteen eighty two, historian Bruce Allen Murphy, in a book
that won a Certificate of Merit from the American Bar Association,

(30:03):
reported that Brandeis and Frankfurter had secretly collaborated over many
years on numerous covert political activities. Zionism was one of them. Okay,
when you talk about this at this point, even if
you're an academic, even if you have the highest academic credentials,

(30:26):
you're a conspiracy theorist. It doesn't matter whether you can
prove it or not. Saying that two people secretly collaborated
over many years on numerous covert political activities is considered
a conspiracy theory. So let's go to the footnote. This
is a footnote from Bruce Allen Murphy, The Brandeis Frankfurter Connection.

(30:47):
The Secret Political Activities of two Supreme Court Justices, Oxford
University Press, nineteen eighty two, Page ten. Bruce Murphy is
a judicial biographer and scholar the American constitutional law and politics,
and as the Fred Morgan Kirby Professor of Civil Rights
at Lafayette College. He holds a PhD from the University
of Virginia. This book received a Certificate American from the

(31:10):
American Bar Association. The next coming footnotes will be all
from this book continuing. In one of the most unique
arrangements in the Court's history, Brandeis enlisted Frankfurter, then a
professor at Harvard Law School, as his paid political lobbyist
and lieutenant, writes Murphy in his book The Brandeis Frankfurter Connection.

(31:33):
The Secret political activities or two Supreme Court Justices quoting
working together over a period of twenty five years, they
placed a network of disciples in positions of influence and
labored diligently for the enactment of their desired programs. Working
together over a period of twenty five years, most people say, oh,

(31:56):
you couldn't even go to conspiracy. You can't get two
people to agree on anything. Working together of a period
of twenty five years, they placed a network of disciples
and positions of influence, and labored diligently for the enactment
of their desired programs. This adroit use of the politically
skillful Frankfurter as an intermediary enabled Brandeis to keep his

(32:19):
considerable political endeavors hidden from the public. Continues Murphy, Brandeis
only mentioned the arrangement to one other person, Murphy writes,
another Zionist Lieutenant Court of Appeals Judge Julian Mack. One
reason Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their arrangement secret was that

(32:40):
such behavior by a sitting Supreme Court justice is considered
highly unethical. As an editorial in The New York Times
pointed out following the publication of Murphy's book, quoting the
Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement was wrong. It serves neither history nor
ethics to judge it more kindly, as some seemed disposed
to do. The prolonged meddlesome Brandeis Frankfurter arrangement violates ethical

(33:04):
standards close quote. The Times reiterates a point also made
by Murphy. The fact that Brandeis and Frankfurter kept their
arrangement secret demonstrated that they knew it was unethical, or
at least realized that the public would view it as such.
Quoting again, they were dodging the public's appropriate measure of
fitness close quote. Later, when Frankfurter himself became a Supreme

(33:29):
Court justice, he used similar methods, quoting placing his own
network of disciples in various agencies, and working through this
network for the realization of his own goals. Close quote.
These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship of FDR's
programs to bring the US into battle against Hitler. Read

(33:53):
that again. These included both Zionist objectives and Frankfurter's stewardship
of FDR's program to bring the US into battle against Hitler.
These are not two separate things. These are not two
separate things. Sorry, Sorry to the people who think that

(34:13):
Hitler was a ZI was a Zionist puppet. Those retards
all right. Their activities, Murphy notes were part of a
vast quoting, part of a vast, carefully planned and orchestrated
political crusade undertaken first by Brandeis through Frankfurter, and then

(34:35):
by Frankfurter on his own to accomplish extra judicial political goals.
Frankforter had joined the Harvard faculty in nineteen fourteen at
the age of thirty one, a post gained after a
Brandeis's initiative donation from financier Jacob Schiff to Harvard that
created a position for Frankfurter, then Murphy writes, quoting For

(35:00):
the next twenty five years, Frankfurter shaped the minds of
generations of the nation's most elite law students. After Brandeis
became head of the American Zionist movement, he created an
Advisory Council, an inner circle of his closest advisors, and
appointed Felix Frankfurter as one of its members. Let's go

(35:20):
back up to Jacob Schiff, I can give you, okay,
nineteen oh five, the revolution in Russia begins. The Reds
all just a Jewish organization, is supported by Jacob Scheff.

(35:44):
Let's let's put that aside for a second. In nineteen
oh five, the reason why you would start a revolution
in Russia is because Russia is fighting Japan in the
Russo Japanese War, which the United States government and Jacob

(36:06):
Shiff in which they supported Japan against Russia. So while
Russia is fighting Japan to I mean, I even forget
what that was over, because it's mostly the whole thing

(36:26):
for it for me is just how they used it
as an excuse to start the Russian Revolution. Schiff convinces
the United States government and through himself finances Japan against Russia,
and he's financing the revolutionary movement in Russia to overthrow
this aar. And then he financed much of the nineteen

(36:56):
seventeen revolution because the nineteen oh five revolution didn't obviously
didn't work. We know that damaging, but it didn't work.
So Jacob Schiff had a heart on for Russia. Why
because some fake pograms. Because some Sabatians, some Sabotian Jewish

(37:19):
people in the sixteen hundreds decided that the Messiah was coming,
so they would just start killing people openly by the hundreds,
kind of what we see happening now, and Cossacks had

(37:41):
to step in and squash it. To this day, Jews
will tell you they were just sitting around doing nothing
and all of a sudden Cossacks shut up and killed
thirty five thousand or forty thousand of them are actually

(38:02):
new section the parishim Even more surprising to this author,
miss Weirs speaking of herself, of course, and even less
well known both to the publicans academics, is Brandeis's membership
in a secret society that covertly pushed Zionism both in
the US and internationally. Let's check the footnotes for that.

(38:23):
So the footnote says, it is surprising how extremely buried
this information remains after I posted Sarah Schmidt's article on
it see the footnote below online in twenty ten and
mentioned it in my online in print drafts of the book.
Another book released this year mentions the society but fails

(38:43):
to report accurately on its covert nature and significant activities.
So I guess that's called the book is called Just
Scrolling a little Bit Forward. Sarah Schmidt The parishim a
Secret Episode in American Zionist History. American Jewish Historical Quarterly
number sixty five, December nineteen seventy five, pages one, twenty

(39:04):
one through thirty nine. So Sarah Schmidt looks also to
have written Horace M. Callen, Prophet of American Zionism in
nineteen ninety five. Then it says Doctor Sarah Schmidt teaches

(39:26):
courses related to modern Jewish history at the Rothberg International
School of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with an emphasis
both in Israeli and American Jewish history. She is also
associated with the Jerusalem Center for Public Arts, focused on
Israeli security, regional diplomacy, and international law, and there's a
link there to a website, and then it says Peter

(39:49):
Gross Israel in the Mind of America and Off publication,
nineteen eighty four. I guess we'll be talking about that.
Peter Gross was an editor and specialist in the history
of intelligence and an editor for The New York Times
and Foreign Affairs, Foreign Affairs in New Economy's paper. I
believe that's not newspaper but magazine. Believe it's I believe that.

(40:10):
He held a position at the Belfer Center for Science
International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
He is author of a number of books on modern
US history. All right back to what I was writing.
I did want to say that because I want to
go to that, because I mean, that is a you're

(40:32):
making a claim about a secret society. Well, where did
that come from? It came from a professor at the
University of Jerusalem, Israeli professor doctor Sarah Schmidt first reported
this information in an article about the society published in
nineteen seventy eight in the American Jewish Historical Quarterly. She
also devoted a chapter to the society in a nineteen

(40:52):
ninety five book. Author and former New York Times editor
Peter Gross Sympathetics of Zionism, also reported on it in
both a book and several subsequent articles. According to Gross,
a highly regarded author, Brandeis was a leader of quoting
an elitist secret society called the Parisham the Hebrew word
for pharisees and separate, which grow out of Harvard's which

(41:16):
grew out of Harvard's Minora society. Are you starting to
understand that this just didn't happen like yesterday, This didn't
happen in the last ten years, didn't happen at the
founding of Israel? You understand how far back this goes?

(41:37):
Schmidt writes, the images that emerge. The image that emerges
of the Parisham is that it of a secret, underground
guerrilla force determined to influence the course of events in
a quiet, anonymous way. That's all quote, Gross writes at
Brandeis used to Parisham quote as a private intellectual cadre,

(41:57):
a pool of man power for various assignments. Brandeis recruited
ambitious young men, often from Harvard, to work on the
Zionist cause and further their careers in the process. G
do you think that could also work in the opposite direction.
If they work for the Zionist cause, you get to

(42:18):
further your career if you don't. Quoting. As the Harvard
men spread out across the land in their professional pursuits,
gross reports, their interests in Zionism were kept alive by
secret of exchanges. In the trappings of a fraternal order.
Each invited initiate underwent a solemn ceremony swearing the oath.

(42:40):
To swearing the oath quote, to guard and to obey,
and to keep secret the laws and the labor of
the fellowship, its existence, and its aims. Close quote. At
the secret initiation ceremony, new members were told, this is
quoting from this book by a Zionist. They really like

(43:02):
to brag sometimes, Pudding, You are about to take a
step which will bind you to a single cause for
all your life. You will for one year be subject
to an absolute duty whose call you will be impelled
to heed, at any time, in any place, and at
any cost, and ever after until our purpose shall be accomplished.

(43:26):
You'll be fellow of a brotherhood who's bond you will
regard as greater than any other in your life, dearer
than that of family, of school, of nation. So what
you can assume is the best and brightest legal minds

(43:47):
or I mean any I'm sure Brandice could reach out
beyond the law department whatever. He is getting the best
minds in the country, the people who are coming out
of the most elite institution in the country by reputation,
to pledge their loyalty to Zionism, above family, above school,

(44:12):
and above their nation. How did we get to the
point where we're not even a country anymore? I don't know.
While Brandis was a key leader of the parisham, an
academic named Horace M. Callan was its founder, created it
in nineteen thirteen. What else happened? Weird stuff happening here?

(44:35):
Callen was an Well, what happened the following year is
probably really important, even more so important. I think the
beginning of the war, the Great War, is more important
than the founding of the Federal Reserve. Libertarians just screaming
their heads off right now. Callen was an academic first
hired by Woodrow Wilson, who was then President of Princeton,

(44:59):
to teach English. When Callen founded the parishim he was
a philosophy professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
This secret Zionist society was founded at the University of
Wisconsin in Madison. Do you want to stop and think

(45:20):
about that for a second? And this is what nineteen thirteen,
have any thoughts. Callen is generally considered the father of
cultural pluralism. What's another word for cultural pluralism? Could it

(45:42):
be a multiculturalism? You understand? Thoughhy I wanted to read
this book. In her book on Callen, Schmidt includes more
information on the society in a ch entitled Callen's Secret
Army the Parisham. She reports a member swearing this is

(46:05):
quoting a member swearing allegiance to the Parisham felt something
of a spirit of commitment to a secret military fellowship.
Still quoting, Callen invited no one to become a member
until the candidate had given specific assurances regarding devotion and
resolution to the Zionist cause, Schmidt writes, quoting again, and
each initiative initiate had to undergo a rigorous analysis of

(46:29):
his qualifications, loyalty and willingness to take orders from the
Order's executive council. Willingness to take orders from the Order's
executive Council. Now go up here. What does it say?

(46:50):
You will be in a bond greater than dearer than
that of your family, of your school, and of your nation.
So if they are given an order that contradicts the
good of the nation, well he orders Executive Council. Trump's America.

(47:17):
Not surprisingly, it appears that Frankfurter was a member. Let's
see fifty one, fifty one. Let's see where we go here.
Ben on That one is Ben Halpern The Americanization of
Zionism eighteen eighty to nineteen thirty in American Zionism, Mission
and Politics by Jeffrey Garack, nineteen ninety eight, part of

(47:40):
a thirteen volume series edited by Jeffrey S. Garak published
by the American Jewish Historical Society, and also Gross Engross
or that's not part of that, so yeah, another one
that this comes from a Jewish source. You don't need
to really read outside of them. They will tell you,

(48:08):
all right, we must new heading. We must work silently
through education and infection. Members of the Parisham were quite
clear about the necessity of keeping their activity secret, and
early recruited to the Parisham explained, quoting an organization which
has the aims we have, must be anonymous, must work

(48:29):
silently and through education and infection rather than through force
and noise. He wrote that to work openly would be
suicidal for their objective education and infection rather than force
and noise. Why would he write that working openly would

(48:52):
be suicidal for their objective? Is it because if people
found out, if the wasp elites at the time found out,
even if the public might have got wind of it,
Especially since there was a group in the South who,

(49:13):
because of the Leo Frank trial, who had pretty much
been kind of dormant for a while, ramped up again.
Gross describes how the group worked toward achieving its goals. Quote,
the members set about meeting people of influence here and

(49:34):
there casually on a friendly basis. They planned some suggestions
for actions to further the Zionist cause, long before official
government planners had come up with anything. So the members
set about meeting people of influence here and there casually
on a friendly basis. Why did my mind reading that

(49:56):
immediately think of Jeffrey Epstein. Continuing, for example, Gross writes,
as early as November nineteen fifteen, a leader of the
parisham went around suggesting that the British might gain some
benefit from a formal declaration in support of a Jewish
national homeland in Palestine. She writes more on this in

(50:21):
the following chapter. Brandeis was also a close friend of
the President Woodrow Wilson, and used this access to advocate
for the Zionist cause at time, serving as a conduit
between British Zionists and the President. A lot of people think, oh,
Colonel House working in the background, did all this now, No,

(50:44):
as Lewis, Brandeis sure hidden, But it didn't have to be,
you know, the secret of Colonel House. It just had
to be secret. In nineteen sixteen, President Wilson named Brandeis
to this Supreme Court. All of these coincidences coincidences at

(51:09):
that time, As was required by standard ethics, Brandeis gave
into a press, gave into pressure to officially resign from
all his private clubs and affiliations, including his leadership of Zionism.
But behind the scenes he continued the Zionist work, quietly,
receiving the only reports in the Supreme Court chambers and
issuing orders to his loyal lieutenants. That footnote is wow.

(51:33):
Scrolling forward, she has a lot here. It's from uh
gross mind, from from Neil Piffers and also a gross
mind of America. Brandeis also played a decisive role in
planning Wilson's economic program, in particularly informative formulating the Federal Reserve.
Of course, he did all right, including his leadership, but

(52:02):
behind the scenes he continued the Zionists wore quietly yet okay.
When the Zionist Organization of Americaza was reorganized in nineteen eighteen,
Brandeis was listed as its honorary president. However, he was
more than just honorary, as historian Donald Neff writes, quoting
through his lieutenants, he remained the power behind the throne
end quote. One of these lieutenants, of course, was Felix Frankfurter.

(52:29):
Zionist membership expanded dramatically during World War One, despite the
efforts of some Jewish anti Zionists, one of whom called
the movement a foreign, Unamerican, racist and separatist phenomenon. I
think we'll stop there. First one was about twenty five minutes.
We'reried about twenty eight. Now do this in bite sized chunks,

(52:52):
because there's a lot here. And yeah, I mean, I
think this is best taken this way, best taken this way.
I mean the first one, first episode, we did chapter
one and two. That was just chapter three, and I
don't want to jump right now into chapter four, which

(53:13):
is World War One and the bout four Declaration, because
the hits are going to keep on coming. And like
I said, there are some people who are like, I
knew this, I knew this, I knew this, I knew this,
and we need you. But yeah, a lot of people
just don't know about this stuff. And I think it's important,

(53:36):
especially now, especially at a time when you are seeing
a full court press by international Zionism, and not only
is Zionists to hide what they're doing. It's kind of

(53:58):
hard to hide it when you have video, but definitely
to lie about it. And you just need to see
this isn't a new ballgame. This is just this is
a game that they play. It's a hand they play
over and over and over again. Which is really stupid

(54:19):
on their part because nothing at this time, at the
time that Brandeis and Frankfurt are doing this. In nineteen tens,
the conception that we would have the internet an instant
access being able to bunk things in real time they

(54:40):
should have started playing a different hand by now, but
it's the same one. I hope you see that. All right,
be back in a couple of days and we will
pick up with chapter four. Take care, good morning, and
it actually is morning, so bear with me. Last couple ones,
I actually Lichene all secret courted him in the afternoon

(55:01):
schedule for the next day. But this one is Friday morning,
and I am exhausted. So but I didn't want to
abandon this or delay it at all because the reactions
I've been getting to this book have been pretty incredible
so far. So even Stormy comes out to me, is like, oh,

(55:22):
I'm like yeah, yeah. So all right, let's jump back
into it. Last episode we talked about Lewis Brandeis and
Felix Frankfurter in Supreme Court and basically how they secretly
and oh not openly, but secretly worked behind the scenes
formed secret societies to push the Zionist agenda in America

(55:47):
from the Supreme Court bench. All right. Chapter four, World
War One and the bout four Declaration. Most analysts consider
World War One a pointless conflict that resulted from diptic
entanglements rather than some travesty of justice or aggression. Yet
it was catastrophic to a generation of Europeans, killing fourteen

(56:08):
million people. The United States joined this unnecessary war a
few years into the hostilities, causing many America lives, even
though the US was not party to the alliances that
had drawn other nations into the fray. This even though
Americans had been strongly opposed to entering the war and
Woodrow Wilson had won the presidency with the slogan he

(56:29):
kept US out of war. President Wilson changed course in
nineteen seventeen and plunged the US into the tragic European conflict.
Approximately two hundred and seventy thousand Americans were killed or injured.
That was in I mean less than two years. Over

(56:51):
twelve hundred American citizens who opposed the war were rounded
up and imprisoned, some for years for going out into
the streets and telling people to draft. They're thrown in prison.
It's free country, bro A number of reasons were publicly
given for Wilson's change of heart, including Germany's submarine warfare,

(57:13):
germany Is sinking of the British passenger ship Lusitania, and
a diplomatic debacle known as the Zimmerman Telegram episode all
complete propaganda. Germans took out ads and papers telling people
don't go on any American ships. We know they have

(57:36):
weapons and munitions aboard them, even if they're a passenger
ship like the Lusitania which sank in about four minutes
because it was because it exploded as soon as it
got hit by a torpedo because it had munitions on it.
They said, don't do it. And then the Zimmerman Telegram.

(57:58):
Thomas and I went over that in UH one of
the World War One episodes, So go check out that serious.
While Americans today are aware of many of these facts,
few know that Zionism appears to have been one of
those factors. Diverse documentary evidence shows a Zionist push for
the US to enter the war on Britain's side as
part of a deal to gain British support for their

(58:18):
colonization of Palestine. From the very beginning of their movement,
Zionists realized that if they were to succeed in their
goals of creating a Jewish state on land that was
already inhabited by non Jews, they needed backing from one
of the great powers. Remember I mentioned probably an episode
one from the river, enough from the road to the sea.
But a land without a people, for a people without

(58:42):
a land, all you have to do is go read
Hurtzel or read any of the proto Zionists. They knew
there were people there. They talk about them. I believe
Hertzel calls them their brothers, brothers and sisters. They tried
the Ottoman Empire, which controlled Palestine at the time, but
were turned and down. Although they were told the Jews

(59:02):
could settle throughout other parts of the Ottoman Empire and
become Turkish citizens. They then turned to Britain, which was
also initially less ENTHUSIASTICO Famous English Middle East experts such
as Gertrude Bell pointed out that Palestine was Arab and
that Jerusalem was sacred to all three major monotheistic faiths.

(59:24):
Judaism is not been a monotheistic faith in a very
long time. Sorry, go go listen to my reading of
Israel Shahak's Jewish History Jewish religion. He explains, it's not
a monotheistic If anything, they're closer to pagan worship now

(59:44):
than anything else. Polytheistic pagan worship. Future British Foreign Minister
Lord George Korzon similarly stated that Palestine was already inhabited
by half a million Arabs who would not be content
either to be experts created for Jewish immigrants or to
act merely as huwers of wood and drawers of drawers

(01:00:06):
of water for the latter. However, once the British were
emboiled in World War One, and particularly during nineteen sixteen,
a disastrous year for the Allies on which there were
sixty thousand British casualties and one day alone, Zionists were
able to play a winning card. I have to take
a sip of coffee on that number. Imagine losing a

(01:00:33):
baseball stadium worth of your soldiers men the next generation
in one day. While they previously had appealed to religious
or idealistic arguments, now Zionist leaders could add a particularly
powerful motivator, telling the British government that Zionists in the

(01:00:55):
US would push America to enter the war on the
side of the British if the British promised to support
Jewish home in Palestine afterward. So what's he saying, wealthy
and powerful Jews? Zionists, Jews. They're all Jews, most of
them in ninety nine percent would help get the United

(01:01:18):
States into a war, a war where sixty thousand British
boys died in one day and British men died in
one day. If they could just have this shitty piece
of land that they don't even know what to do with,
they couldn't till they couldn't do anything with they if
they tried, it's already been proven in Russia. And not farmers,

(01:01:39):
they're not, they're they just want this land. In nineteen seventeen,
British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour issued a letter to Zionist
leader Lord Rothschild. You can see it on the Just
pull up Balfour Declaration on Google you'll actually see the letter.

(01:02:03):
Noticed about four declaration. This letter promised that Britain would
view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national
home for the Jewish people, and use their best endeavors
to facilitate the achievement of this object. The letter then
qualified this somewhat by stating that it should be clearly

(01:02:23):
understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the
civil and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine.
Once again, land without a people for a people, without
a land is fucking bullshit, and anyone who says it
is a fucking liar, and they're to be dismissed out
of hand and shunned. At this point, who at the

(01:02:49):
point we're at in this country, who cares if they're brainwashed?
Brainwashed people needs to be shunned until they come to
their fucking senses. I've said this before, and I mean,
I know it's trivial because oh it's Twitter. I block
people on Twitter. And if you come back to me

(01:03:10):
a year later, six months later and go, yeah, you
were right, I'm sorry. I'll unblock you now we can,
but I'm not going to even associate with you on
fucking social media. You think I want to associate associate
with you in real life. I don't want you anywhere
near me. I don't want you in the polity. I
don't want you being a part of the policy. I
don't consider you. So, the non Jewish communities were ninety

(01:03:35):
two percent of Palestine's population at that time, vigorous Zionist
immigration efforts having slightly expanded the percentage of Jews living
in Palestine by then. Let's check out the footnote on
that that's from a book by McCarthy, Population of Palestine,
page twenty six. The letter, while officially signed by British

(01:04:02):
Foreign Minister Lord Balfour, had been in process for two
years and had got through a number of edits of
British and American zionists and British officials. So first of all,
this letter is three paragraphs, if I remember correctly, I'm
trying to picture it in my mind. I've looked at
it a millions times, three paragraphs, two years of edits and

(01:04:25):
British an American as zionists and British officials had edited it.
How important is this letter? I mean literally, how how
important is this letter to a group of people that
they're willing to send American boys, American men, and some

(01:04:45):
women you know who died going over there as nervous
as to die fire in the trenches of Europe. Yeah,
after October seventh, that had so many people contact me
and go, you know, I stopped listening because you know,

(01:05:06):
you talked about this certain group of people, and it's
unseemly if you want to understand our history, if you
want to understand where we're at right now, and you're
not talking about them, you're just dishonest. Don't ever, ever,
if you're listening to this, don't ever send me a

(01:05:27):
video of look at yourribezment off, your Abezmanov told us,
What did your Abzmenov mention these people? No, I don't
want to hear it. I don't want to hear it.
You cannot talk about American history. You cannot talk about
the history of the twentieth century. You can't even talk

(01:05:49):
about the history of the last twelve hundred years unless
you understand. Unless you've studied these people European history, American history,
you can't. I'm sorry if you're leaving this, if you're
leaving them out of the conversation, you're either hiding something

(01:06:11):
or you're grossly ignorant. As Zionist leader Nahum Sokkolo later wrote,
every idea born in London was tested by the Zionist
organization in America, and every suggestion in America received the
most careful attention in London, that is from Jeffreys Palestine.

(01:06:35):
The Reality Page one seventy two. Sokkolo writes that British
Zionists were helped above all by American Zionists. Between London,
New York and Washington. There was constant communication, either by
telegraph or by personal visit, and as a result there
was perfect unity among the Zionists of both hemispheres. Personal visit.

(01:07:00):
Do you understand how difficult travel was back then? Personal
visit between Zionists in London, New York and Washington. Sucklow
particularly praised quote the benefit, the benefit, the beneficent, the beneficent,

(01:07:26):
personal influence of the Honorable Lewis D. Brandeis just judge
of the Supreme Court. We talked about Brandeis in the
last episode, and Frankfurter, there's only one word that the infiltrator, infiltrator.

(01:07:46):
That's it. Infiltrator. He was not there to do He
was not there to help to interpret the law, you know,
the Constitution and the law of the land. He was
there to help a diaspora people in the United States
and in other countries take land, take land from people

(01:08:09):
who were already who were already there. I don't care
if the Ottoman I don't care if the Ottoman Empire
controlled it. I don't care if British, if it was
British mandate, I don't give a fuck. There were people
there and they said, oh, we're just going to go
take it. And historically, who gives a fuck that happened

(01:08:30):
all the time. I mean it literally, I mean this
is the history of warfare, This is the history of
We're going to take this land for ourselves. We're going
to take that land for ourselves. But they, as chapters
one and two show, formed a conspiracy in our country,
using our using our resources, and sending our men off

(01:08:51):
to die in order to get this land. If you
want it, put an army together. I'm sure you have
enough money to do it. Arm yourselves, go there and
take the land. That's what you ended up doing anyway,
But you ended up getting us into a into two
fucking world wars in order to do this. The final

(01:09:20):
version of the declaration was actually written by Leopold Amory,
a British official who, it came out later, was a
secret and fervent Zionist, probably one of the people in
Brandeis and Frankfurt are a secret society. It appears that
the idea for such a declaration had originally been promoted
by parisham founder Horas Callan. Shocking author Peter Gross reports

(01:09:45):
quote the idea had come to the British from an
unlikely source. In nineteen fifteen, long before the United States
was involved in the war, the fertile brain of Horace
Callen had come up with the idea of an Allied
statement of acording in whatever veiled way was deemed necessary,
Jewish national rights in Palestine. They had come up with

(01:10:06):
the idea of an Allied statement supporting, in whatever veiled
way was deemed necessary Jewish national rights in Palestine. What
was the number from earlier? Ninety two percent eight percent

(01:10:29):
were Jewish and they used us basically infiltrated our system
at the highest levels. Gross rights that Callen suggested the
idea to a well connected British friend who had who
would pass the idea along. According to Callen, such a

(01:10:51):
statement would give a natural outlet for the spontaneous pro English, French,
and Italian sympathies of the Jewish mass is. Callen told
his friend that this would help break down America's neutrality,
which Callen knew was the aim of British. British diplomacy
desperate to bring the US into the war on its side.

(01:11:12):
Gross writes Callen's idea lit a spark of interest in Whitehall.
Get American, get us. This piece of dirt, and we'll
get American boys and men to go die. What does
Stormy say in our episode? Basically, the graduating class of

(01:11:34):
Yale gone gone, the best white men of a generation gone.
While the Balfour declaration was less was a lesson, ringing
endorsement of Zionism. Zion Is considered it a major breakthrough

(01:11:55):
because it cracked open a door that they would later
force wider and wider open. In fact, many credit this
as a key factor in the creation of Israel. You
gave him an inch, you gave them an inch. These
Balfour World War One negotiations are referred to in various documents.
Samuel Landman, secretary of the World Zionist Organization, described them

(01:12:18):
in detail in a nineteen thirty six article in World Jewry.
When I used that word, just remember there was a
magazine called World Jewry in nineteen thirty six. He explained
that a secret gentleman's agreement had been made in nineteen
sixteen between the British government and Zionist leaders after an

(01:12:40):
under quoting, after an understanding had been arrived at between
Sir Mark Sykes and Zionis Weismann and Sokolow, It was
resolved to send a secret message to Justice Brandeis that
the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain Palestine
in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support in
the US for the Allied cause, so as to bring

(01:13:02):
about a radical pro Allied tendency in the United States.
In nineteen sixteen, they contacted Zionis in England contacted a
Supreme Court justice in the United States secretly saying that

(01:13:22):
the British Cabinet would help the Jews to gain gain Palestine.
They would basically give them Palestine or start advocating that
it was actually belonged to them. It belonged to the
Jews in return for active Jewish sympathy and for support
in the USA for the Allied cause, so as to

(01:13:44):
bring about a radical pro Allied tendency in the United
States and eventually get what one hundred and seventy seven
thousand British men killed any more coffee Espresso about coffee

(01:14:06):
Landmann wrote that once the British had agreed to help
the Zionists, this information was communicated to the press, which
he reported, rapidly began to favor the US joining the
war on the side of Britain. Imagine that I think
she I think she has some good information here about

(01:14:28):
the press in the United States, but that'll be later.
Landman claimed that Zionists had fulfilled their side of the
contract and that it was Jewish help that brought Usa
into the war on the side of the Allies, thus
causing the defeat of Germany. I don't even know how

(01:14:53):
to comment on them. He went on to state that
this had rankled in Germany ever since contributed in no
small measure to the prominence which anti Semitism occupies in
the Nazi program. Wait, I'm sorry. I thought anti Leo Pinsker, Zionist,

(01:15:14):
said anti Semitism was hereditary. I thought you're just I
thought anti Semitism was just being jealous of how successful
Jews are. But Landman went on to state that this
had rankled in Germany ever since and contributed in no
small measure to the prominence which anti Semitism occupies in

(01:15:39):
the Nazi program. Wow. Wow, I thought my understanding of
the JQ was some kind of mental defect. I didn't
know it possibly had anything to do with the fact

(01:16:01):
that their actions caused Their actions caused destruction, and I
recognize that gee, I guess, I guess, mister Landman just
let me off the hook. Weird. British Colonial Secretary Lord

(01:16:21):
Cavendish also wrote about this agreement and its result in
a nineteen twenty three memorandum to the British Cabinet, stating
the object of the Balfour Declaration was to enlist the
sympathies on the Allied side of influential Jews and Jewish
organizations all over the world, and it is arguable that
the negotiations with the Zionists did in fact have considerable

(01:16:43):
effect in advancing the date to which the United States
government intervened in the war. No shit really. Former British
Prime Minister Lloyd George similarly referred to the deal, telling
of British Commission in nineteen thirty five, quote, Zionists lead
gave us a definite promise that if the Allies committed
themselves to giving facilities for the establishment of a national

(01:17:06):
home for the Jews in Palestine, they would do their
best to rally Jewish sentiment and support throughout the world
to the Allied cause. They kept their word end quote.
The only conclusion you can take from this is I

(01:17:30):
think it would be you'd be pushing a little too
far to say all. But a big part of the
reason why American white men went and died fighting European
white men their brothers in the trenches in Europe was

(01:17:50):
because Jewish Zionists wanted a homeland and they were willing
to sackrifice our relatives to do it. Brandeis University professor
and author Frank E Manuel reported that Lloyd George had

(01:18:12):
testified in nineteen thirty seven quote that stimulating the war
effort of American Jews was one of the major motives
during a harrowing period in the European War, actuated members
of the Cabinet in finally casting their votes for the declaration.
American career Foreign Service officer Evan M. Wilson, who had

(01:18:33):
served as Minister Consul General in Jerusalem, also described this
arrangement in his book Decision on Palestine. He wrote that
the Balfour Declaration quote was given to the Jews largely
for the purpose of enlisting Jewish support in the war
and of forestalling a similar promise by the Central Powers.
Central powers being the Allied Powers enemy enemies in World

(01:18:57):
War One. Social biographer of Lloyd George of Lloyd George.
Author Malcolm Thompson stated that the determining factor in the
decision to issue that Balfour Declaration was the quote scheme
for engaging by some such concession the support of American
Zionists for the Allied cause in the First World War

(01:19:17):
end quote. Similarly, Zionist historian Naomi Cohen calls to bowfour
Declaration a quote wartime measure and writes its immediate object
was to capture Jewish sympathy, especially in the United States,
for the Allies and to shure up English strategic interests
in the Near East end quote. The declaration was pushed,

(01:19:38):
she writes, quote by leading Zionists in England and by Brandeis,
who intervened with President Wilson. End quote a Supreme Court justice,
somebody who because of our civic religion is lifted up
to priest status in this country, had secret societies, secret meetings,

(01:20:05):
and had a hidden agenda that was Zionist, and it
was to get a homeland by whatever means necessary. And
he had the ear of President Wilson and could intervene
with him. Obviously one hundred and seventy seven thousand, and

(01:20:29):
which leads to World War two seventy million. Finally, David
Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of England, wrote in
nineteen thirty nine, to a certain extent, America had played
a decisive role in the First World War, and American
Jewry had a considerable part, knowingly or not, in the

(01:20:54):
achievement of the Balfour Declaration. This is something we talked about.
We talked about when I was reading Israel Shahak's Jewish History,
Jewish Religion. How the rabbis are these polytheistic sex magic
lunatics who even if the people who are sitting in

(01:21:14):
their in their congregation, I don't know what they call it,
an example, don't don't know what they're doing is they're
they the rabbis believe they're harnessing the prayers that are
going up of these Jews, even if they don't understand
that they're they're praying to this polytheistic sex magic male

(01:21:38):
female deity with the devil involved in all this stuff.
And the same thing right here, American Jewry had a
considerable part, knowingly or not, in the achievement of the
Balfour Declaration, even if they didn't want it. Even if
they didn't care about, you know, even if they wanted
to be in America and they didn't want to quote

(01:21:58):
unquote homeland. The influence of Brandeis and other Zionists in
the US has enabled Zionists to form an alliance with Britain,
one of the world's great powers, a remarkable achievement for
a nonstate group and a measure of Zionists, by then
immense power. As historian Kolski states, the Zionist movement was

(01:22:21):
now an important force in international politics, something that Henry
Ford understood and started writing about, you know, in his newspaper,
and then he has to book The International jew which
is a lot of those articles, and you know, writing

(01:22:42):
was just gathered together. People saw this back then and
started talking about it, and that's when they needed to
be destroyed. American Zionists may also have played a role

(01:23:03):
in preventing an early piece with the Ottoman Empire. In
May nineteen seventeen, American Secretary of State Robert Lansing received
a report that the Ottomans were extremely weary of the
war and that it might be possible to induce them
to break with Germany and make a separate peace with Britain.
Such a piece would have helped in Britain's effort to

(01:23:27):
win the war. Victory was still far from insured, but
it would have prevented Britain from acquiring Palestine and enabling
a Jewish state. So potential war piece had to be

(01:23:47):
headed off in order that they get this shitty piece
of land. The State Department considered a separate Him in
peace a long shot, but decided to send an emissary
to pursue the possibility. Felix Frankforter became part of the
delegation and ultimately persuaded the delegations leader, former Ambassador Henry J. Morgenthau,

(01:24:15):
to abandon the effort. This is what you call sabotage.
This is what you call treason. This is treason. And
if you know that, if you recognize the name Morgenthau, yeah,

(01:24:36):
maybe we'll see if we get to that at all.
It's treason. It's treason. This is the literal definition. US
State Department officials considered that Zionis had worked to scuttle
this potentially peace making mission and were unhappy about it.

(01:24:59):
Zionis often construed such displeasure at their actions as evidence
of American diplomats anti Semitism. I hope you're getting it.
If you haven't gotten it by now, I hope you're
getting there, because this, I hope is as infuriating to

(01:25:27):
you as it is to me. Because the more you learn,
the more you realize, what would even be the point
of reading this and looking at the history of it

(01:25:47):
if it wasn't something that we were still dealing with today,
every one of the terror wars. It's for Israel. Everyone,
all right, I'll be back in a couple of days

(01:26:10):
and we'll move on to chapter five. Paris Peace Conference
nineteen nineteen Zionist defeat calls for self determination. See you
in a few days. Have a good weekend, Take care. Bye.
Welcome back to part four of my reading of Against

(01:26:30):
Our Better Judgment? What is the Hidden Story of how
the US was used to create Israel? Sorry, I don't
not really good at memorizing the subtitles on books. But yeah,
So last time we talked about the the about four Declaration,

(01:26:59):
and today there's probably going to be three chapters going
to run through and probably have to do a couple
of explain away a couple things she has. She's the
opinion of a on a couple historic points that have
been pretty much debunked, but some people can't let go
of it. But still the information's good. So let's keep

(01:27:22):
going here, all right, picking up where we left off
last time. This is chapter five, Paris Peace Conference, nineteen
nineteen Zionist defeat calls for self determination. After the war,
the victor has met in a peace conference and agreed
to a set of peace accords that addressed, among many issues,
the fate of the Ottoman Empire's Middle East territories. The

(01:27:45):
Allies stripped the defeated Empire of its Middle Eastern holdings
and divided them between Britain and France, which were to
hold them under a mandate system until the populations were
ready for self government. Britain got the mandate over Palestine,
which if you listen to the last episode you know why.

(01:28:06):
And the reason why ready for self government is in
quotes here is because they're never going to That wasn't
going to happen. Zionists, including Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, world Zionis
Organization officials, and an American delegation went to the peace
conference to lobby for a Jewish home in Palestine and

(01:28:27):
to push for Balfour wording to be incorporated into the
peace accords. The official US delegations of the peace conference
also contained a number of highly placed Zionists. If you
go back to the parishom, which is the secret society
of Zionists that you know brandeis and I'm trying to
remember it was a callan yeah, I mean, these are

(01:28:49):
highly influential people, especially Brandised being a sitting Supreme Court justice,
who have a secret society of people who have basically
taken a pledge to Zionism that they above their family,
above their country, that the Zionists they would get this homeland.
So distinguished American Christians posted in the Middle East who

(01:29:13):
consistently supported Arab self determination went to Paris to oppose Zionists.
Numerous prominent Christian leaders in the US, including two of
the most celebrated pastors of the day, Harry Emerson Foustik
and Henry Sloane Coffin, also opposed Zionism. However, as a
pro Israel author notes, they were simply out gunned by Zionists.

(01:29:36):
The most influential American in the Middle East at the time,
doctor Howard Bliss, president of Beirut, Syrian Protestant College later
to become the American University of Beirut, traveled to Paris
to urge forming a commission to determine what the people
the Middle East wanted for themselves, a suggestion that was
embraced by the US diplomatic staff in Paris. I mean,

(01:29:56):
imagine that you self determination is kind of what this
country was founded upon. And then yeah, in step, in
step this other group of people who self determination for them,
not for anyone else, to Alam for every take Alan

(01:30:20):
for everyone else. Princeton Professor Philip Brown, in Cairo for
the y m c A supplied requested reports to the
US State Department on what Zionism's impact would be on Palestine.
He stated that it would be disastrous for both Arabs
and Jews, and went to Paris the lobby against it.
William Westerman, director of the State Department's Western Asian Division,

(01:30:44):
which covered the region, similarly similarly opposed to the Zionist position.
He wrote that it impinges upon the rights and desires
of most of the Arab population of Palestine. Once again,
keep bringing it up land without a people for a
people with out of land. But there were people there, obviously,

(01:31:06):
This is a topic of conversation. How anybody believes that
is just. It really goes to show you that one
people are just out and out liars, and two people
just don't know history because people are out in out liars.
Westerman and other US diplomats felt that the Arab position
was much more in line with Wilson's principles of self
determination and circulated Arab material. President Wilson decided to send

(01:31:30):
the Commission of Palestine to investigate the situation in person.
After spending two months in the area interviewing all sections
of the population, the commission, known as the King Crane Commission,
recommended against the Zionist position of unlimited immigration of Jews
to make Palestine a distinctly Jewish state. So that is

(01:31:50):
exactly there they're saying it. What is the point of
going there to make it a distinctly Jewish state? Is
quoted from a book by Sami Hidawi, Bitter Harvest, Palestestine
between nineteen fourteen and nineteen seventy nine, a book written
in nineteen seventy nine. I think Bitter Harvest was also

(01:32:11):
the book written about Ian Smith and Rhodesia. If I'm
not mistaken, The commissioners stated that the creation of a
Jewish state in Palestine could be accomplished only with the
gravest trespass upon the civil and religious rights of existing
non Jewish communities in Palestine, pointing out that to subject
to Palestinians to steady financial and social pressure to surrender

(01:32:34):
the land would be a gross violation of the principle
of self determination and of the people's rights. But when
it comes, who cares, they want what they want. They
went on to point out that the well being and
development of the people in the region formed a sacred trust,

(01:32:56):
that the people should become completely free, and that the
national governments should derive their authority from the initiative and
free choice of the native populations. The report stated that
meetings with Jewish representatives made it clear that the Zionists
look forward to a practically complete dispossession of the present
non Jewish inhabitants of Palestine. Concluded that armed force would

(01:33:19):
be required to accomplish this and urge the Peace Conference
to dismiss the Zionists proposals. The commission recommended that the
project for making Palestine distinctly a Jewish commonwealth should be
given up. They knew what was going to happen. You
don't go there, you don't make plans to go there
with guns and to force I mean unless there are

(01:33:42):
people there in the first place. I mean, I'm going
to make this argument over and over again because I'm
land without a people for people without a land. You
don't know how much it offends me that like that
kind of just so easily debunked propaganda is you know, like,
oh well the Ottoman Empire, Ottoman Empire controlled that. Then Britain,

(01:34:04):
so what so I don't care. Zionist threw Brandeis dominated
the situation, however, and the report was suppressed until after
the peace Accords were enacted. As a pro Israel historian noted, quote,
with the burial of the King Crane Report, a major
obstacle in the Zionist path disappeared. The US delegation was

(01:34:28):
forced to follow Zionist directives. Let's see who we have here,
that is from That's from Arofsky's book cited in Mulhall America.
Yeah all right, all right, you mentioned that book. Ultimately,
the mandate of Palestine given a Britain supported the Zionist
project and included the Balfour language. According to the mandate,

(01:34:51):
Britain would be responsible for putting into effect the Balfour
Declaration in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a
national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood
that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil
and religious rights of existing non Jewish communities in Palestine.
So basically, in invading armies getting ready to go in,

(01:35:17):
and people expect that possibly the people who are already there,
they're just going to lie down and take it. They're
not Americans. Chapter six forging an in gathering of all Jews.
The idea behind Zionism was create a state where Jews
worldwide could escape anti Semitism. Where's that from? That is

(01:35:42):
from Theodore Hertzel the Jewish State Dover Publications. Yeah, so
the father, basically the father of political Zionism. That's who
they're quoting there, is to escape anti Semitism. Of course,
the question always doesn't always come up because you're not

(01:36:02):
allowed to ask it, But I will. What's the main
cause of anti Semitism? If you've followed my work, then
you know that I've quoted over and over again Jewish
philosophers who say Pinsker says an anti Semitism is hereditary.
Most commonly you'll hear people are jealous of their success. Yeah,

(01:36:28):
things like that. But you're not allowed you know, when
you ask those questions, and when you ask that question,
what's the main cause of what's been the main cause
of anti Semitism for the last twelve hundred years in Europe?
How do countries who didn't even exist parallel have the

(01:36:49):
same issue with the same people a thousand years apart. Yeah,
it's an injury saying it's if you're completely dishonest or
you're completely brainwashed. Penskere could actually believe that that it

(01:37:11):
was hereditary. Combined with this was the belief that all
Jews would and should come to the Jewish State in
a massive in gathering of exiles. However, when it turned
out that not enough Jews were coming of their own volition,
a variety of methods were used to increase the immigration.
People didn't want to go. I mean, a lot of

(01:37:35):
these people have been living in German, you know, countries
like Germany for you know, a couple centuries you had
people who had escaped the stettles of Russia and got
an education and gone I mean of course, I mean,
these are liberals, and we've seen in the two Hundred

(01:37:57):
Years Together series exactly what they believe. But of course
they might not want to go to some place where
they don't even feel like they have a tie to.
So let me go back to the first sentence, because
I completely missed this, and I know some of you
are probably screaming at me. The idea behind Zionism was

(01:38:20):
to create a state where Jews worldwide could escape anti Semitism.
What about the people who say that God gave him
that land forever? If the father of political Zionism, Theodore Hertzel,
says that Zionism was the create a state where Jews
worldwide could escape anti Semitism, what does the Bible have

(01:38:43):
to do with that. Zionist leader David Ben Gurion once
told the gathering of Jewish Americans, quote, Zionism consists of
bringing all Jews to Israel. We appeal to the parents
to help us bring your children here. Even if they
decline to help, we will bring the youth to Israel.

(01:39:05):
But I hope that this will not be necessary. Basically,
he's Beanngurion. I think the airport is named after him.
There the main airport. The most positive said, we're going
to force people. We're going to force Jews to do it.
There are various documented cases in which fanatical Zionists exploited, exaggerated, invented,

(01:39:28):
and even perpetrated anti Semitic incidents, both to procure support
and to drive Jews to immigrate to the Zionist designated homeland.
A few examples are discussed below. I just re released
my reading of I can't remember what his name is,

(01:39:51):
but Crying Wolf Hate crime hoaxes in America. There's a big,
big I think the biggest section was about this certain
group Brandeis new heading Brandeis and Frankfurt versus US diplomat.
One such case involved the young diplomat named Hugh Gibson,
who in nineteen nineteen was nominated to be US Ambassador

(01:40:13):
to Poland. After he arrived in Poland, Gibson, who was
highly regarded and considered particularly brilliant, began to report that
there were far fewer anti Semitic incidents and Americans were
led to believe. He wrote his mother, these yarns are
exclusively of foreign manufacture for anti Polish purposes, So what's
he saying here? They're spinning a yarn. These things are

(01:40:37):
made up. There may be one or two here, but
it's the exception that proves the rule that it's not
happening here, and it's exclusively a foreign manufacture, all right.
His dispatches came to the attention of Brandeis and his

(01:40:57):
protege and future Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankforter, who demanded
a meeting with Gibson. Gibson later wrote of their accusations,
this is a quote I'm going to quote a whole
section for those of you who were just listening Gibson speaking.
I had Brandeis and Frankfurter claimed done more mischief to

(01:41:18):
the Jewish race than anyone who had lived in the
last century. I mean, that's that's a long list if
you listen to Zionists and Jews. Nicholas the second, Alexander
the third, really wow. They said that my reports on

(01:41:40):
the Jewish question had gone around the world and had
undone their work. They finally said that I had stated
that I had stated that the stories of excesses against
the Jews were exaggerated, to which I replied that they
certainly were, and I should think any Jew would be
glad to know it. I'm not going to get into
this is and argue that any let me read that again,

(01:42:03):
to which I replied that they certainly were, and I
should think any Jew would be glad to know that
by basically what he's saying is, I would think you'd
be really happy to know that I'm reporting that it's
a false report the Jews are being persecuted in Poland.
I've made this argument before about certain things I'm not

(01:42:23):
going to bring up here, but it doesn't matter. They
need you to believe that they are being persecuted still
to today. They need you to believe that October seventh
happened in a vacuum, that nothing led up to October seventh.

(01:42:49):
Frankfurter Or hinted that if Gibson continued these reports, Zionists
would block his confirmation by the Senate's freaking I mean,
it's only recently right that we've had corruption in this country. Huh.
No that one hundred years ago somebody went to Poland

(01:43:12):
spoke the truth about what he discovered, and then when
he came back, somebody, a very powerful person hinted that
if you don't trash these reports, you're not going to
get the job. I thought they were all about who
was the most successful and who was the most qualified.

(01:43:37):
Gibson was outraged and sent a twenty one page letter
to the State Department. In it, he shared his suspicions
that this was part of a conscienceless and blood and
cold blooded plan to make the condition of the Jews
in Poland so bad that they must turn to Zionism
for relief. Mister Gibson hero speaking the truth Zionus and

(01:44:02):
the Nazis new heading. I've heard her opinion about this,
and I will Carl Rattle. Not Karl Daal who's on
my show all the time, but Carl Raddle or a
DL has a substack. He's on Twitter. There may be
some things in here. I'll have to point you to

(01:44:22):
him to deep bulk. Perhaps the most extreme case of
Zionis exploitation of anti Semitism to further their cause came
during the rise of Adolph Hitler. Zionis leaders had a
mixed response to Hitler and the rise of the Nazis.
Israeli historian Tom Segev writes everyone wondered how the persecution

(01:44:43):
of the Jews in Germany would affect life in Palestine.
They wondered how the persecution of the Jews would affect
life in Palestine, not that they would try to get
them out of there and protect them. It almost seems
like this is the kind of attitude where you're like, well,

(01:45:07):
if it happens to him, it's good for our cause.
If something happens to them, it's good for our cause. Maybe.
While paper is predicted loss and ruined beyond repair and
described a dance of death in Berlin, they expected that
the hour of trouble and anguish would open unprecedented historical opportunities,

(01:45:27):
specifically increased immigration to Palestine. Ben Gurion hoped the Nazis
victory would become a fertile force for Zionism. Let's pay
Let's check the that quote by that he's attributing to,
or that sentiment that he's attributing to. Ben Gurion is

(01:45:50):
from Tom Segev The Seventh Million, The Israelis and the
Holocaust nineteen ninety three, page nineteen. Historians have documented the
Zionist sabotage efforts to find safe havens for Jewish refugees
from Nazi Germany in order to convince the world that

(01:46:10):
Jews could only be safe in a Jewish state. That
is this Here's I'll read the footnote on this. This
was well known in the State Department, for example, State
Department Near East Expert Harry and Howard states, quoting there
was discussion of liberalizing American immigration laws in this period.

(01:46:32):
The Zionist opposed that liberalization on the ground that this
would not be a solution as far as they were concerned.
They wanted a political, not necessarily a humanitarian solution. That is,
they wanted a state more. Let's see, here's another one.

(01:46:55):
The Zionist movement knows that Palestine is and will be
for some time in society. They know that they can
raise vast sums for Palestine by saying to donors there
is no other place this poor jew can go. That's
from Lilienthal, What Price Israel, page twenty seven. So basically,

(01:47:18):
they want they want the world to believe that even
if they aren't being persecuted, they're being persecuted. Do you
think that affects the opinions that most people have today
on how they were treated even in Germany? Let's see, Okay,

(01:47:46):
when FDR made efforts in nineteen thirty eight and nineteen
forty three and the British in nineteen forty seven to
provide havens for refugees from the Nazis. Ziona supposed these
projects because they did not include dude, Palestine. So leave
them there. Leave them there because we wanted to get

(01:48:16):
so bad. We don't care. I don't really care about
these people. They want. The only choice to be Palestine.
Don't take them to America, don't take them to you
know any don't take them safe at someplace safe. Leave
him there. Morris Ernst, FDR's international envoy for refugees, wrote

(01:48:40):
in his memoir that when he worked to help find
refuge for those fleeing Hitler, quote, active Jewish leaders decried
sneer and then attacked me as if I were a trader.
At one dinner party, I was openly accused of furthering
this plan of freer immigration into the US in order
to undermine political Zionism. Zionist friends of mine opposed it.

(01:49:07):
So there's a real threat quote unquote on the lives
of a Jewish population. Someone wants to do something about
it and get them out, bring them into the USA,

(01:49:28):
and even his friends attack them. Ernst wrote that he
found the same fanatical reaction among all the Jewish groups
he approached, whose leaders he found were little concerned about
human blood if it is not their own. FDR finally

(01:49:49):
gave up, telling Ernst, we can't put it over because
the dominant vocal Jewish leadership of America won't stand for it.
Can't put it over because the dominant vocal Jewishly they
won't stand for them being rescued and brought anywhere, allegedly

(01:50:11):
probably other than Palestine. But as we'll find out later,
even somebody who worked to free and get Jews taken
out of some of a couple of the camps, we'll
see how that Zionists treated him, what they did to
him for his good works. Journalist Erskine B. Childer's son

(01:50:37):
of the former Irish Prime Minister, wrote in The Spectator
in nineteen sixty quote, one of the most massively important
features of the entire Palestine struggle was that Zionism deliberately
arranged that the plight of the wretched survivors of Hitlerism
should be a moral argument which the West had to accept.

(01:51:00):
Even though there was a plan, there were many plans
to get them out of the way and get them
out of Germany, or get them out of get them
out of the Eastern Front, wherever this was, wherever they
could get them out, which they didn't want, unless it
was to Palestine, which really wasn't in the cards at

(01:51:23):
that time, so it would have had to have been
to a third country. After the war, they were the
West and the leader. We were to blame for them.
We were to blame because you know, anyone who perished
during the war, it was on our hands, even though

(01:51:47):
our people tried to get them out. He explained that
that quote, this was done by seeing to it that
Western countries did not open their doors widely and immediately
to the inmate of the displaced persons camps, the DP camps. Childers,

(01:52:08):
author of several books on conflict resolution and peacekeeping, who
later became Secretary General of the World Federation of the
United Nations Associations, commented, quoting it is incredible that so
grave and grima campaign has relieved, so has received so
little attention in accounts of the Palestine struggle. It was
a campaign that literally shaped all subsequent history. It was

(01:52:30):
done by sabotaging specific Western schemes to admit Jews, the
Jewish dps. There were even a certain amount of collusion
between Zionist and Nazi leaders. Okay, this is where I
don't know what she's going to say because I haven't
read I haven't read head to this part, but I
have read her opinions on the on this. There are

(01:52:54):
people who want to make it like zion and Nazis
were working together like side by side on this. Most
of that happened even actually before Hitler came to power.
Like I said, Carl Raddle's substack he has now, I
mean it's footnoted everywhere, and it's mostly for I think

(01:53:15):
pretty much every footnote he has is from shit. Libs
have written books. So this is all what a grain
of salt. There was even a certain amount of collusion
between Zionis and Nazi leaders when disturbing facts emerged in
the nineteen fifties about this. These caused considerable scandal in
Israel and led to the fall of the Israeli government
of the time. A number of books are dedicated to

(01:53:39):
this subject and has discussed in numerous others. In some cases,
there were accusations at Zionist collaboration with Nazis that saved
people with connections at the expense of those with none.
That's always going to happen no matter what. So I mean,
that's just history. I mean, I'm sorry. The topic inspired
novels by well known and Israeli writers Amos Elon and

(01:54:03):
Neil Gordon, was a subject of a nineteen eighty seven
British play and was portrayed in in nineteen ninety four
Israeli docu drama. Some Zionist leaders worked out what became
known as the Transfer Agreement, a nineteen thirty three pack
with the Nazis in which Jews who wished to go
to Palestine could transfer their capital to Palestine. As part
of the agreement, these Zionists agreed to reject a boycott

(01:54:23):
that had been implemented against Germany. That much of that
is true, except the Transfer Agreement started earlier than nineteen
thirty three, and it pretty much dissolved I think by
nineteen thirty four and nineteen thirty five, and not much
became of it. Not many moved moved there. So I

(01:54:43):
have the book over there. I can't remember the name
of it. I think it was Zionism and anti Semitism
in Nazi Germany. Israeli author Tom Segev explains that The
agreement was based on the comple elementary interests of the
German government and the Zionist movement. The Nazis wanted the

(01:55:03):
Jews out of Germany, the Zionists wanted them to come
to Palestine. For a time, the Nazis worked with these
Zionist leaders to promote Jewish immigrations in a Palestine. A
series in a Berlin paper published by Nazi propaganda minister
Joseph Goebbels was entitled A Nazi Visits Palestine and depicted
glowing photographs of Jewish immigrants in Palestine. Gebels created a
medal with a swastik on one side, and yeah, that's

(01:55:26):
actually if you ever see that medal, that is a
has a a star of David on one side and
a swastik on the other. And people are like, oh,
look look at look how closely they were working together.
They even had no No. Goebels had those made as
a promotion for his newspaper. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's

(01:55:52):
it was. It was basically like if you ever been
to a baseball game and they get you there on
bat Dan because they give away bats to everyone, or
Cap Day or something like that. Yeah, it was just
a way of it was just a way of getting
people to by the paper. Basically Nazi official Adolf Eichmann,

(01:56:15):
later famous for his public trial in Israel, learned some
Hebrew and Yiddish. Actually, he spoke it very fluently, and
briefly visited Palestine in nineteen thirty seven. He met with
Zionis leaders on a number of occasions, including meeting with
Ben Gurion, chief assistant and future mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kullak.
I say he spoke it, spoke it fluently. I'd have

(01:56:38):
to check on that again, but I know that they
definitely quieted him and kept him in a cage during
his trial because they didn't want him to They only
wanted to hear him speak. They only wanted the crowd
to hear him speak. When they wanted him to hear
him speak. They were scared he was going to start
speaking in Hebrew and that might cause people to change

(01:57:00):
your mind or be like, wait about what's going on here.
He met with Zionis leaders on a number of occasions,
including meeting with Ben Gurion, chief assistant, and future marriages
from Titty Kollach. Eichman's autobiography was never published and reportedly
remained sealed somewhere in Israeli archives. I would love to
get my hands on that thing. As already referred to

(01:57:21):
earlier Zionis leader Samuel Landman in nineteen thirty six, he
is a particularly ironic strategy, strategy to push for Britain's
help in opening up Palestine to the growing number of
Jewish refugees from Germany. According to Landman, Zionis actions were
responsible for the US entry into World War One on
the side of Britain. Covered that last episode US involvement

(01:57:44):
then enabled the Allies to defeat Germany. The knowledge of
this Zionist connection, Landman said, was a cause of the
growing anti Semitism in Germany. Remember I said that last time.
Everybody's like, oh, the Germans just woke up one day
and hated Jews. No, this is a This is somebody

(01:58:06):
who was there, who saw all of this, who saw
how the US was got into World War One. American
white American white boys died for basically so that Zionists
could get the Balfour Declaration. They could they could have
a mandate towards going back there. And people in Germany

(01:58:32):
knew this, and that is was he said was a
cause of the growing anti Semitism in Germany. That would
be a huge one, because I think most experts agree
that if the United States didn't get in the war,
didn't join in the war, Germany would have won. But
then they suffered everything that they suffered. If you again,

(01:58:55):
another book that I've read on my show Blockade, Diary
of a middle class US Austrian Woman by Anna Eisenbenger,
explains what they did to the people, how they tried
to kill them and starve them to death. Yeah. Therefore,
Landsman argued there was a greater need than ever for

(01:59:17):
the Jewish state in Palestine that the British had allegedly
promised in return for Jewish help in winning the war.
What's the uh? Let me go to that. Let me
see one thirty two. One thirty two. That is from Landman,
Great Britain, the Jews and Palestine Landman's booklet. This is

(01:59:37):
I'm reading the footnotes here. Landman's booklet also contained a
veiled threat that without such a state, these increasingly desperate
Jewish masses might attempt to pull down the pillars of
civilization by becoming communists. They were already they already did
that in Russia. I mean they're responsible for the nineteen
oh five revolution and nineteen seventeen. Interestingly, Theodore Hertzelone's eighteen

(02:00:01):
ninety six book Who Who also written of a Jewish
connection to communism, quoting, when we sink we become a
revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties. Historian
Norman F. Canter, in his book The Jewish Experience nineteen
ninety six, page three sixty four, reports that the Jews

(02:00:24):
played a disproportionately important role in Soviet and world communism.
According to doctor Canter, quoting the Bolshek Revolution in some
of its aftermath represented from one perspective, Jewish revenge's saying
that on two hundred years together, the whole time, it'll

(02:00:47):
take a sip of water. Alrighty, moving on. This one's
a little longer than previous ones, but let's finish this up.
Zionists fate hate attacks on Iraqi Jews. That's a mouthful.

(02:01:14):
While Zionists wished for a massive in gathering of the
Jews in one state, most Iraqi Jews wanted nothing to
do with it. According to Iraqs then chief Rabbi, who
stated quote Iraqi Jews will be forever against Zionism. Huh,
they really hate Iraq, don't they wonder why Jews and
Arabs have enjoyed this? Is quoting Jews and Arabs have

(02:01:37):
enjoyed the same privileges, same rights and privileges for a
thousand years, and do not regard themselves as a distinctive
separate part of the nation. The rabbi declared, that's Lilienthal,
what price is real again? Page one fifty one. Lilienthal

(02:01:59):
goes on tooury. Despite these warning, Zionist agents effectively produced
trouble in Iraq. Rabbi Sassoon himself was badly beaten by
co religionists. I'm going to read that again. Jews and
Arabs have enjoyed the same rights and privileges for a
thousand years, and do not regard themselves as a distinctively

(02:02:21):
separate part of this nation, the rabbi declared, talking about Ibraq.
Zionists worked to change that by covertly attacking Iraqi Jews
so as to induce them to flee to Israel. Zionists
planted bombs in Iraqi synagogues and in the US Information

(02:02:43):
Service Library in Iraq. Quote in attempts to portray the
Iraqis as an anti American, as anti American, and to
terrorize the Jews. According to author and former CIA operative
Wilbur Crane Eveland, one thirty four Wilber Eveland Ropes of

(02:03:03):
sand America's Failure in the Middle East, nineteen eighty, page
forty eight, quoting soon leaflets began to appear, urging Jews
to flee to Israel, rightes Eveland and most of the
world believed reports that Arab terrorism had motivated the flight
of the Iraqi Jews from the Zionists, whom the Zionists

(02:03:24):
had rescued. Really just in order to increase Israel's Jewish population,
Zionists Jews went to Iraq, planted bombs in Israeli synagogues.
In Iraqi synagogues, it's their own people right in the U,

(02:03:45):
and in a US library, that's Americans right. Similarly, Name Galadi,
a Jewish Iraqi author who later lived in Israel and
the US, describes the program from the inside quote, I

(02:04:05):
write about what the first Prime Minister of Israel called
cruel Zionism. I write about it because I was part
of it. Galatti states that the Jews from Islam. The
quoting is Galatti states that quote Jews from Islamic lands
did not emigrate willingly to Israel in order end quote,

(02:04:28):
in order quote to force them to leave, Galotti writes,
Jews killed Jews. He goes on to say that in
an effort quote to buy time to confiscate evermore Arab lands,
Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their

(02:04:50):
Arab neighbors. He states, genuine peace initiatives. But I mean
these are just murderous Muslims, right, I mean they were,
I mean, how are they? How can they live side
by side with Muslims with How could Jews live side

(02:05:11):
by side with Muslims for a thousand years in Iraq?
And then when they say, oh, we want you to
come to Israel, They're like, no, go away, screw you.
This is our home. It's been our home for a
thousand years. And then they plant bombs and kill them
and plant bombs in the American library, and I get

(02:05:37):
criticized for yeah, yeah, all right, that's it. Next chapter
will be chapter seven. The modern Israel Lobby is born.
I hope you're getting a lot out of this. I'm
sure a lot of you, people who know a lot
of things, are learning a lot too, so know a

(02:05:58):
lot about this. This we're learning a lot too. So yeah,
I wouldn't be talking about this if we still weren't
dealing with it, and if it weren't probably most dangerous
thing that we're dealing with at this point. All right,

(02:06:20):
back in a couple of days. Take care. Welcome back
to part five of my reading of Against Our Better Judgment,
The Hidden History of How the US was used to
Create Israel by Alison Weir. I'm going to jump right
into chapter seven. Let's get going. I think we can

(02:06:42):
knock have two chapters today unless I start getting ranty,
which I might. Chapter seven, the modern Israel lobby is born.
In the nineteen twenties and nineteen thirties, American Zionists retreated
somewhat from overtly pushing for a Jewish state in Palestine. Instead,
many focused on creating Jewish institutions in Palestine, reports historian

(02:07:05):
Naomi Cohen, who calls this approach Palestinianism. Funny that they're
calling it Palestine since they nowadays they've read the revisionists
will tell you there's no such thing as Palestine. Palestine.
There's no such thing. Why are you using that word?
There's no such thing. But they even had a term

(02:07:28):
called Palestinianism. Con attributes this switch to American anti Semitism
in the nineteen twenties and the Great Depression in the
nineteen thirties, but American's revulsion against militant nationalisms, particularly strong
after World War One, must certainly have been an important factor.
Cohen writes that this retreat from over at Zionism permitted

(02:07:52):
the spread of a quiet Zionism in synagogues and Jewish schools,
all quoting Meanwhile, by not publicly declaring the end goal
of a Jewish state, Zionists could avoid the appearance of
disloyalty or dual allegiance. So they're being subversive. They're not

(02:08:15):
publicly declaring the end goal of a Jewish state, But
that's our goal. Why are they not doing it publicly
to avoid the appearance of being disloyal or appearance of
disloyalty or dual allegiance, which they have. Their loyalty is
to creating their own state. And I've abandoned the term

(02:08:39):
dual allegiance because there's only one. This better fit the
temper of the times following a war allegedly fought for democracy.
A number of both Jewish and non Jewish writers opposed
the non democratic agenda of creating a Jewish state on
land whose population was overwhelmingly non Jewish. Amazing that they

(02:09:03):
just they so admitted back then that there were people there,
Now they say there weren't. As a Jewish writer pointed
out in a Zionist journal quoting, forcing foreign rule upon
the majority of the population so that a minority may
achieve political, economic and cultural privileges does not accord with

(02:09:23):
the conscience of people bred in America and Western Europe
to the principles of free self government. So even a
Zionist journal and a Jewish writer realizes that going there
and displacing people and basically going there to rule them,

(02:09:48):
which is what they knew they were going to do,
says it right here. Forcing foreign rule upon a majority
population was against American and Western values. Yet Americans will
bend over backwards and maybe and sometimes literally bend over

(02:10:10):
for these people. On the other hand, creating Jewish institutions
in Palestine, such as the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, seemed
to non Zionists like altruism rather than the vanguard of
a colonial movement. You see where this is going, right,
As Cohne explains to outsiders non Jewish Americans, it was

(02:10:32):
basically a philanthropy and Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists. So
it was a trick. They made it look like, oh,
we're opening up a university and you know, we'll allow
these people to come in and we'll educate them. And
you know, she doesn't go into exactly here where they're

(02:10:56):
going to be deeply discounted, where they go for free,
or you know, mostly that they were going to be
completely excluded to a certain extent. Where's this sa As
Cohen explains to outsiders non Jewish Americans, who is basically
a philanthropy and Americans admired philanthropy and philanthropists. Zionist leaders

(02:11:19):
felt that the US was critically important to their goal.
Ben Gurion, who had visited the United States almost every
year after his election to the Jewish to the Zionist Executive,
wrote in nineteen thirty nine that he was convinced that
the main arena for Zionist efforts outside Palestine should be America,
stating that they had quote no more effective tool at

(02:11:40):
our disposal than the American Jewish community and Zionist movement.
Zionist Musha Shirtok, a future Israeli foreign minister, stated during
World War two, quote, America will have a decisive influence
at the end of the war. And the question of
our strength in America is a very real an important one.

(02:12:02):
Strength in America a question of our strength in America.
Scherzoch went on to state, quote, there are millions of
active and well organized Jews in America. In their position
in life enables them to be most dynamic and influential.
They live in the nerve centers of the country and

(02:12:24):
hold important positions in politics, trade journalism, the theater, and
the radio. They could influence public opinion, but their strength
is not felt since it is not harnessed and directed
at the right target politics, trade journalism, the theater, and

(02:12:45):
the radio. But if I say that a Zionist leader
decried what he considered a problem with American Jews at
this time, quote the American Jew thinks of himself first
and foremost as an American city. This is a fact,
whether we like it or not. He concluded, quote, loyalty

(02:13:06):
to America is now the Supreme watchword. They didn't like
that there were people here who are loyal to America
Jews who are loyal to America. Zionists were determined to
harness this untapped power, and soon the Zionist movement began

(02:13:28):
to come into its own, the immediate precursor to today's pro
Israel lobby. In nineteen thirty nine, under the leadership of
Rabbi Abba hellel Silver, originally from Lithuania, he created the
American Zionist Emergency Council, which by nineteen forty three had
acquired a budget of half a million dollars at a
time when a nickel bought a loaf of bread. In

(02:13:53):
addition to this money, Zionist had become influential in creating
a fundraising umbrella organization, the United Jewish Appeal, in nineteen
thirty nine, giving them access to the organization's gargantuan financial
resources fourteen million in nineteen forty one, one hundred and
fifty million by nineteen forty eight. This was four times

(02:14:15):
more than the Americans contributed to the Red Cross and
was the equivalent of approximately one point five billion dollars today.
With its extraordinary funding, AZEC embarked on a campaign to
target every sector of American society, ordering that local committees
be set up in every Jewish community in the nation.

(02:14:38):
In the words of AZEC organizer ci Kennin, it launched
a political and public relations offensive to capture the support
of congressman, clergy, editors, professors, business, and labor. But it's

(02:15:01):
a conspiracy theory, right, I mean they to say they
did that as a conspiracy theory, you can't prove it, right,
I mean, they admit it. But AZEK constructed activists to quote,
make direct contact with your local congressman or senator, or
to go after union members, wives and parents of servicemen,
and Jewish war veterans. AZEK provided activists with form letters

(02:15:26):
to use and schedule and schedules of anti Zionist lecture
tours to oppose and disrupt. So not only were they
doing positive work, they were doing negative work, positive in
that they were promoting their own message and negative in
that they went to disrupt people who were speaking out
against them. A measure of its power came in nineteen

(02:15:48):
forty five when Silver disliked a British move that would
be harmful to Zionists. AAZAC booked Madison Square Garden, ordered advertisements,
and mailed two hundred and fifty thousand and nnouncements the
first day. By the second day, they had organized demonstrations
in thirty cities, a letter writing campaign, and convinced twenty

(02:16:09):
seven US Senators to give speeches. This is in nineteen
forty five, they were able to organize in two days
demonstrations in thirty cities, letter writing campaigns, and convinced us
convinced twenty seven US Senators to give speeches. When you

(02:16:31):
consider today how easy travelers they just pick up a phone,
you know, whire people. How hard is it to understand
how you can have fifty cities across the country having

(02:16:53):
anti anti anti immigration or anti immigrant, anti remigration protests.
Let's put it that way, when back then, in two

(02:17:14):
days they could organize in thirty cities and get twenty
seven US Senators to get to give speeches. Nineteen forty five,
grassroots Zionist action groups were organized, with more than four
hundred local committees under seventy six state and regional branches.

(02:17:37):
AzaC funded books, articles, and academic studies. Millions of pamphlets
were distributed. There were massive petition. In letter writing campaigns,
AAZAC targeted college presidents and deans, managing to get more
than one hundred and fifty to sign one petition one

(02:17:57):
hundred and fifty presidents, college presidents and deans to sign one.
Rabbi elmer Berger, the executive director of the American Council
for Judaism, which opposed Zionism in the nineteen forties and fifties,
writes in his memoirs that there was a quote ubiquitous
propaganda campaign reaching just about every point of political leverage

(02:18:20):
in the country end quote. The Zionist Organization of America
bragged that the immensity of our operations and their diversity
in its forty eighth annual report, stating we reach into
every department of American life. Burger and other anti Zionist

(02:18:41):
Jewish Americans tried to organize against quoting the deception and
cynicism with which the Zionist machine operated, but failed to
obtain anywhere near their level of funding. Among other things,
would be dissenters were afraid of quote the savagery of
personal attacks anti Zionists endured back then. If you're an

(02:19:07):
anti Zionist, which it seems like from what I'm reading here,
they were Jews, they were anti Zionists. You underwent savage
personal at secks, which doesn't seem like it would be
very hard. If you can get twenty seven senators to

(02:19:27):
give speeches in your for your cause, seems like you
could possibly get anything done to these people. Berger writes
that when he and a colleague opposed Zionist resolution in Congress,
Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who was to serve
in Congress for almost fifty years, told them they ought

(02:19:49):
to They ought to take you bitches out and shoot you.
I think it's it's removed here. So, Emmanuel Seller, you
ever heard of the heart Seller Act, which basically opened

(02:20:12):
the floodgates for immigration in this country? Mm hmm yep.
When it was unclear that President Harry Truman would support Zionism,
Seller and a committee of Zionist told him that they
had persuaded Dewey to support the Zionist policy and demand
that that Truman also take this stand. Seller reportedly pounded

(02:20:37):
on Truman's table and said that if Truman did not
do so, we'll run you out of town. Seller reportedly
pounded on Truman's table, that's the President of the United
States instead of you do so, he'd run him out

(02:21:01):
of town. Jacob Javitz, another well known senator. This time
Republicans hold the Zionist Women's Group will fight to death
and make a Jewish state in Palestine if it is
the last thing we do. Richard Stephens, author of American
Zionism in US Foreign Policy in nineteen forty two to
nineteen forty seven, reports that Zionists infiltrated the boards of

(02:21:24):
several Jewish schools that they felt didn't sufficiently promote the
Zionist cause. When this didn't work, Stephens' rights, they would
start their own pro Zionist schools. Stephens writes that in
nineteen forty three to forty four, THEZA distributed over a
million leafless and pamphlets to public libraries, chaplains, community centers, educators, ministers, writers,

(02:21:48):
and others who might further the Zionist cause. Alfred Lillienthal,
who had worked in the State Department, served in the
US Army in the Middle East from nineteen four forty
three to nineteen forty five and became a member of
the anti Zionist American Council for Judaism. Reports at Zionist
monthly sales of books totaled between three to four thousand

(02:22:10):
throughout nineteen forty four to nineteen forty five. Richard Stevens
reports that Zionist subsidized books by non Jewish authors that
supported the Zionist agenda. They would then promote these books
jointly with commercial publishers. Several of them became best sellers.
So if you wonder why Hillary Clinton gets to write

(02:22:33):
a book and a Barack Obama gets to write a book,
and Mitt Romney gets to write a book which you
know no one is reading and buying, this is why
it's subsidized. New heading Zionist manufacturer Christian Support AzaC founder

(02:22:57):
Silver and other Zionis played a significant role in creating
Christian support for Zionism, a project Brandeis encouraged. Secret Zionist funds,
eventually reaching one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in nineteen
forty six, were used to revive an elitist Protestant group,
the American Palestine Committee. This group had originally been founded

(02:23:20):
in nineteen thirty two by Emmanuel Newman, a member of
the executive of the Zionist organization. The objective was to
was to organize a group of prominent, mainly non Jewish
American non Jewish Americans in moral and political support of Zionism.
Frankfurter was one of the main speakers at its launch.

(02:23:43):
Silver's headquarters issued a directive saying, quote in every community,
an American Christian Palestine Committee must be immediately organized. Author
Peter Gross reports that the Christian Committee's operations were hardly autonomous.
This is all quoting Zionists. Headquarters thought nothing of placing
newspaper advertisements on the clergyman's behalf without bothering to consult

(02:24:06):
them in advance, until one of the committee leaders meekly
asked at least for prior notice before public statements were
given or made in their name. Imagine you just wake
up one day and you're promoting something in the newspaper,
and you have no idea why you have no idea

(02:24:27):
how AZAK formed another group among clergymen, the Christian Council
in Palestine. An internal AzaC memo stated that the aim
of both groups was to quote crystallized the sympathy of
Christian America for our cause. By the end of World
War II, the Christian Council in Palestine had grown to

(02:24:48):
three thousand members, and the American Palestine Committee boasted a
membership of sixty five hundred public figures, including senators, congressmen,
cabinet members, governors, state officers, mayors, jurists, clergy, educators, writers, publishers,
and civic and industrial leaders. Bought and sold, bought and

(02:25:09):
sold in nineteen forty. In the nineteen forties, and you
wonder why things are the way they are today, Historian
Richard Stevens explains that Christian support was largely gained by
exploiting their wish to help people in need. Stephens writes
that Zionists would proclaim the tragic plight of refugees fleeing

(02:25:30):
from persecution finding no home, thus linking the refugee problem
with Palestine as allegedly the only solution. So manipulation. Stephens
writes that the reason for the strategy was clear quote.
While many Americans might not support the creation of a
Jewish state, traditional American humanitarianism could be exploited in favor

(02:25:55):
of the Zionist's cause through the refugee problems, Few, if
any of these Christian supporters had any idea that the
creation of the Jewish state would entail a massive expulsion
of hundreds of thousands of non Jews, who made up
the large majority of Palestine's population, creating a new and
much longer lasting refugee problem. Nor did they learn that

(02:26:19):
during and after Israel's founding nineteen forty seven to nineteen
forty nine war, Zionis forces attacked a number of Christian sites.
Donald Neff, former Time Magazine Jerusalem bureau chief and author
of five books on Israel Palestine, reports in detail on
Zionis attacks on Christian sites in May nineteen forty eight,

(02:26:41):
the month of Israel's birth. Neff tells us that a
group of Christian leaders complained that month that Zionis had
killed and wounded hundreds of people, including children, refugees, and clergy,
at Christian churches and humanitarian institutions. For example, the group

(02:27:01):
changed a charge that quote many children were killed or
wounded by Jewish shells on the convert on the convent
of Orthodox Cops Coptics, eight refugees were killed and about
one hundred and twenty wounded at the Orthodox Armenian Convent,
and that Father Pierre Somi, secretary to the Bishop, had

(02:27:24):
been killed and two wounded at the Orthodox Syrian Church
of Saint Mark. The group's statements that Arab forces had
abided by their promise to respect Christian institutions, but that
the Jews had forcefully occupied Christian structures and been indiscriminate
in shelling churches. Reports neff. He quotes a Catholic priest,
Jewish soldiers broke down the doors of my church and

(02:27:46):
robbed my precious and sacred objects. Then they threw the
statues of Christ down into a nearby garden. The priest
added that Jewish leaders had reassured that had reassured that
religious buildings would be respected. Their deeds do not correspond
to their words, do they. Ever. After Zionist soldiers invaded

(02:28:07):
and looted a convent in Tiberius, the US Consulate set
a bitter dispatch back to the State Department, complaining of
the Jewish attitude in Jerusalem towards Christian institutions. An American
Christian biblical scholar concurred, reporting that a friend in Jerusalem
had told had been told, quote, when we control, you

(02:28:29):
take your dead Christ and go home. When we get control,
you take your dead Christ and go home, quoting let's
see where that's from. One seventy one Miller Burrough's Palestine
is our Business nineteen forty nine. Oh they go all

(02:28:49):
the way back. So yeah, that's within the time. This
is happening within a year, within a couple of years.
I like those close references. Chapter eight Zionist colonization efforts
in Palestine. As early Zionists in the US and elsewhere

(02:29:10):
pushed for the creation of a Jewish state, Zionis and
Palestine simultaneously tried to clear the land of Muslim and
Christian inhabitants and replaced them with Jewish immigrants. This was
a tall order, as Muslims and Christians accounted for more
than ninety five percent of the population of Palestine. Zionis
planned to try first to buy up the land until

(02:29:31):
the previous inhabitants had emigrated. Failing this, they would use
violence to force them out. This dual strategy was discussed
in various written documents cited by numerous Palestinian and Israeli historians.
As a colonial project grew, the indigenous Palestinians reacted with
occasional bouts of violence. Zionists had anticipated this, since people

(02:29:53):
usually resist being expelled from their land. You don't say
when the buy out effort was able to obtain only
a few percent of the land, Zionis created a number
of terrorist groups to fight against both the Palestinians and
the British Terrorist and future Israeli Prime Minister MONOCOLM Began
later bragged that Zionists had brought terrorism both to the

(02:30:17):
Middle East and to the world at large. Doesn't that
really go up against the narrative you know now that
terrorism is distinctly Muslim. But no, Let's see one seventy

(02:30:38):
four Russell Warren Howe fighting the soldiers of occupation from
World War Two to the Ntafada. In Seeing the Light
Personal encounters with the Middle East and islam Ed Richard H.
Curtis and Janet McMahon. Warren and his film crew were
filming an interview with monocholm Began in nineteen seventy four.

(02:30:58):
The red light had come on under the lens without preamble.
I turned my shoulder to the camera, stared straight into
Began's eyes and asked, how does it feel in the
light of all that is going on to be the
father of terrorism in the Middle East? In the Middle East,
he bellowed in his thick cartoon accent in all the world.

(02:31:24):
Uh huh, yeah, let's see where was I all right?
By the eve of the creation of Israel, the Zionist
immigration and buyout project had increased the Jewish population of
Palestine to thirty percent and land ownership from one percent

(02:31:46):
to approximately six to seven percent. This was in nineteen
forty seven, when the British at last announced that they
would end their control of Palestine. Britain turned the territory's
fate over to the United Nations. Since the funding principle
of the UN was self determination of peoples, one would
have expected to the U one would have expected to

(02:32:07):
the UN to support fair, democratic elections in which inhabitants
could create their own independent country. Instead, Zionists pushed for
a General Assembly resolution to give them a disproportion of
fifty five percent of Palestine. While they rarely announced this publicly,
their plan, stated in journal entries and letters, was to

(02:32:27):
later take the rest of Palestine new heading. US officials
opposed creation of Israel. The U s State Department opposed
the partition plans, strenuously considering Zionism contrary to both fundamental
American principles and US interests. For example, the director of
the State Department's Office of Near Eastern and African Affairs

(02:32:49):
consistently recommended against supporting a Jewish state and Palestine. The director,
named Lloy Henderson, warned that the creation of such a
state would go against locals wishes, imperil US interests, and
violate democratic principles. Henderson emphasized that the US would lose
moral standing in the world if it supported Zionism. Quote.

(02:33:11):
At the present time, the United States is a moral
prestige in the Near and Middle East, unequaled by that
of any other great power. We would lose that prestige
and would be likely for many years to be considered
as a betrayer of the high principles which we ourselves
have enunciated during the periods of the Second World War
end quote. When Zionist pushed a partition plan in the UN,

(02:33:34):
Henderson recommended strongly against supporting their proposal, saying that such
a partition would have to be implemented by force and
was not based on any principle. He warned that partition
quote would guarantee that the Palestine problem would be permanent
and still more complicated in the future. You didn't really
have to be a prophet to know that that's what

(02:33:55):
would happen Henderson. Henderson elaborated further on how plans to
partition Palestine would violate American and UN principles. Quote proposals
for partition are indefinite contravention to various principles laid down
in the UN Charter, as well as to principles on
which American concepts of government are based. These proposals, for instance,

(02:34:18):
ignore such principles as self determination a majority rule. They
recognize the principle of a theocratic racial state, and even
go so far in several instances as to discriminate on
grounds of religion and race. Zionist attacked Henderson virulently, calling
him anti Semitic, demanding his resignation and threatening his family.

(02:34:40):
What's changed? Did someone answer that question for me? What's changed?
They pressured the State Department to transfer him elsewhere. One
analyst describes this as the historic game of musical chairs,
in which officials who recommended Middle Eastern policies consistent with
the nation interests were moved on. So if an American official,

(02:35:05):
when it came to the Middle East, spoke, gave his opinion,
and his opinion was what benefits America best. He was
moved on this terminology they use. In nineteen forty eight,
Truman sent Henderson to the slopes of the Himalayas as
Ambassador to Nepal, then officially under India. In recent years,

(02:35:30):
at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been
directed by a Zionist. Repeat that again. In recent years,
at times, virtually every State Department country desk has been
directed by a Zionist. What is she quoting? Revealed during

(02:35:51):
conversation with State Department associate. But Henderson was far from
alone in making his recommendations. He wrote that his use
were not only those of the entire Near East Division,
but were shared by nearly every member of the Foreign
Service or of the State Department who has worked to
any appreciable extent on Near Eastern problems. He wasn't exaggerating.

(02:36:15):
Official after official and agency after agency opposed Zionism. In
nineteen forty seven, the CIA reported the Zionist leadership was
pursuing objectives that would endanger both Jews and the strategic
interests of the Western powers in the Near and Middle East.
Ambassador Henry F. Grady, who has been called America's top

(02:36:35):
diplomatic soldier for a critical period of the Cold War,
headed a nineteen forty six commission aimed at coming up
with a solution for Palestine. Grady later wrote about the
Zionist lobby and its damaging effect on US national interests.
Quote I've had a good deal of experience with lobbies,
but this group started where those of my experiences had ended,

(02:36:58):
wrote Grady. Quote I have headed a number of government missions,
but in no other have I ever experienced so much disloyalty.
In the United States. Since there is no political force
to counterbalance Zionism, its campaigns are apt to be decisive
end quote. Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure, the US

(02:37:19):
would not have had the ill will with the Arab States,
which are of such strategic importance in our Cold War
with the Soviets. So if the if the US hadn't
supported the Zionist cause they are, everything was fine with
the Arab States. Now people are listening to that right now,

(02:37:41):
and they're thinking, no, no, no. Muslims are like out
of their minds. I mean again, when you ask what
causes anti Semitism, there's a reason. When you ask what
causes muslim you know Muslims to act the way they
have in the last you know, eighty years. There's a reason.

(02:38:07):
Grady concluded that without Zionist pressure, the US would not
have had the ill will with the Arab States, which
are such strategic importance in our Cold War with the Soviets.
Former Undersecretary of State Dean Achison also opposed Zionism. Atchison's
biographer writes that Atchison worried that the West would pay
a high price for Israel. Another author, John Mulhall, records

(02:38:29):
Atchison's warning of the danger for US interests. Quote, to
transform Palestine into a Jewish state capable of receiving a
million or more immigrants would vastly exacerbate the political problem
and imperil not only American but all Western interests in
the Middle in the Near East, the Joint Chiefs of

(02:38:51):
Staff reported in late nineteen forty seven, quote, A decision
to partition Palestine, if the decision were supported by the
United States, would prejudice the United States strategic interests in
the Near and Middle East, to the point that United
States influence in the area would be curtailed to that
which could be maintained, which to that which could be
maintained by military force. The Joint Chiefs issued at least

(02:39:16):
sixteen papers on the Palestine issue following World War Two.
They were particularly concerned that the Zionist goal was to
involve the US. One nineteen forty eight paper Predicted predicted
that quote the Zionist strategy will seek to involve the
United States in a continuously widening and deepening series of
operations intended to secure maximum Jewish objectives. The CIA stated

(02:39:46):
that Zionist leadership was pursuing objectives that would endanger both
Jews and the strategic interests of the Western Powers in
the Near and Middle East. The head of the State
Department's Division of Near Eastern Affairs, Gordon P. Merri, warned
against a partition plan on moral grounds. US support for

(02:40:07):
partition of Palestine as a solution to that problem can
be justified only on the basis of Arab and Jewish consent.
Otherwise we should violate, We should violate the principle. Otherwise
we should violate the principle of self determination, which has
been written into the Atlantic Charter, the Declaration of the
United Nations, and the United Nations Charter, a principle that

(02:40:27):
is deeply embedded in our foreign policy. Even a United
Nations determination in favor of partition would be, in the
absence of such consent, a stultification and violation of the
UN's own charter. Meriam added that without consent, bloodshed and
chaos would follow. A tragically accurate prediction. An Internal State

(02:40:53):
Department memorandum accurately predicted how Israel would be borne through
armed digression masked as defense Wow, quoting the Jews will
be the actual aggressors against the Arabs. However, the Jews
will claim that they are merely defending their boundaries of
a state which were traced by the UN. In the

(02:41:15):
event of such Arab outside aid, the Jews will come
running to the Security Council with the claim that their
state is the object of armed digression, and will use
every means to obscure the fact that it is their
own armed digression against Arabs inside which is the cause
of Arab counter attack. They go in as aggressors or

(02:41:38):
what is it they cry out in pain as they
strike you. Yeah, they went in as the aggressors, just
like in Russia they were the revolutionaries, and when the
Russians fought back, they cried foul they cried pogram, same

(02:42:01):
thing over and over and over again, and American Vice
Consul William J. Porter foresaw one last outcome of the
partition plan that no Arab state would actually ever come
to be in Palestine. That's it up to chapter nine.

(02:42:24):
The title of that one will be Truman asides to
pro Israel Lobby, Triman a sides too, pro Israel Lobby.
So yeah, we'll come back, and I think we're about
halfway through this, so we got a few more episodes
to go. But I think a lot of you are learning,
but I think a lot of you are just like, oh, yeah,

(02:42:46):
of course, and you listen to this and you're like,
I think a lot of people are just shrugging because
they're used to it. It almost can I think a
lot of you can almost anticipate what I'm gonna what's
going to be said, because it's almost boring at this point,
because you know, it's the same play over and over again. Thankfully,

(02:43:10):
I think it's it's falling apart eighty years. All right,
see in a few days, take caree, good morning, welcome
to part six. All right, I'm going to jump into
Truman giving into the pro Israel lobby. But just from

(02:43:33):
the last episode, here's something I thought I would was
a big takeaway for me. Here I'll actually share this
this one what I'm looking at just go over talking
about Emmanuel Seller, a New York Democrat who ended up

(02:43:54):
serving fifty years. This guy Burger, Rabbi Elmer Berger, who
was anti Zionist the manual. Seller told them that they
ought to take him, take your blank out and shoot you.

(02:44:15):
And then when it was unclear that President Harry Truman
would support Zionism, Seller and a committee of Zionists told
him that they had persuaded Dewie to support the Zionist
policy and demanded that Truman take this stand. Seller reportedly
pounded on Truman's table and said that if Truman didn't
do this, we'll run you out of town. So yeah,

(02:44:39):
who's in charge? Who is in charge? All right? Let
me just make sure one thing here boom, alrighty cool,
all right, let's get into this. Let's keep going. Chapter
nine trumanceeds to the pro Israel lobby. President Harry Truman, however,

(02:45:04):
ignored this advice and chose instead to support the Zionist
Partition plan. Truman political advisor Clark Clifford believed that the
Jewish vote and contributions were essential to winning the upcoming
presidential election, and that supporting the partition plan would garner
that support. Truman's opponent, Dewey, took similar stands for similar reasons.

(02:45:25):
Truman's because they were being threatened. That. I mean, they
had the ability to be like, screw you, if I
lose the election, I lose the election. They had a
chance to stand on principle. But they're politicians. Truman was
a thirty third Mason. Truman's secretary of State, George Marshall,

(02:45:49):
the renowned World War II general and author of the
Marshall Plan, was furious to see electoral considerations taking precedence
over policies based on the national interest. Condemned what he
called a transparent dodge to win a few votes, which
would make the great dignity of the office of president
seriously diminished. Well, I mean, at this point it's gone right.

(02:46:13):
World War Two destroys all of this. Marshall wrote that
the council offered by Clifford was based on domestic policy considerations,
while the problem which confronted us was international. I said
bluntly that if the president were to follow mister Clifford's advice,
and if in the elections I were to vote, I
would vote against the president. Let me go back a

(02:46:37):
little bit, so I mentioned Emmanuel Seller. Emmanual Seller basically
threatening everyone around him, including the President of the United States.
Israel needs this partition plan. They need. We don't care
who lives there. Now, we're going to take it over,

(02:47:02):
and you're going to do this, and you're going to
be behind it. What does a manual seller do. Less
than twenty years later, he pens the bill that opens
the borders of the United States, the Heartseller Act. Heart
really didn't have anything to do with it. I can't

(02:47:23):
remember his first name right now. He was just the
goy to help him push it through, to be there,
to be like, yes, this is what needs to be done.
That's why his name is first. So he got his
partition plan, he got his country for his people, and

(02:47:46):
then he destroyed ours. Continuing Secretary of Defense, James Forrestall,
also tried unsuccessfully to oppose this. He was outraged at
Truman's Middle Midiest policy was based on what he called
squalid political purposes, asserting that the United States policy should

(02:48:09):
be based on United States national interests and not on
domestic political considerations. Forrestall represented the general Pentagon view when
he said that quote, no group in this country should
be permitted to influence our policy to the point where
it could endanger our national security. Great man, go back
and listen to my episode with Pilos on James Forrestall

(02:48:33):
and what they did to him. They killed him. He
jumped out a window, allegedly. He allegedly jumped out a
window all by himself. He went crazy, all by himself.

(02:48:55):
He was in an asylum. Who came to visit him. Well,
he was in a hospital who came to visit him
while he was in there. Go check out the episode.
A report by the National Security Council warned that the
Palestine turmoil was acutely endangering the security of the United States.
A CIA report stressed the strategic importance of the Middle

(02:49:18):
East and its oil resources. Similarly, George F. Kennan, the
State Department's Director of Policy Planning, issued a top secret
document on January nineteen forty seven that outlined the enormous
damage done to the US by the Partition Plan. Report

(02:49:41):
by the Policy Planning Staff on position of the United
States with respect to Palestine. It's footnoted here. Kennon continue
caution that quote important US oil concessions and air base
rights could be lost through US support for partition, and
warned that the USSR stood to gain by the partition plan.

(02:50:01):
Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's grandson and a legendary intelligence agent,
was another who was deeply disturbed by events, noting, quote,
the process by which Zionist Jews have been able to
promote American support for the partition of the of Palestine
demonstrates the vital need of a foreign policy based on

(02:50:21):
national rather than partisan interests. Only when the national interests
of the United States, in their highest terms, take precedence
over all other considerations can a logical, far seeing foreign
policy be evolved. No American political leader has the right
to compromise American interest to gain partisan votes. Kermit Roosevelt

(02:50:43):
went on quote the President, the present course of world
crisis will increasingly force upon Americans the realization that their
national interests and those of the proposed Jewish state in
Palestine are going to conflict. It is to be hoped
that American Zionists and non Zionists alike will come to
grips with the realities of the problem. Truman wrote in

(02:51:06):
his memoirs, quote, I do not think I ever had
as much pressure and propaganda aimed at the White House
as I had in this instance. There were now a
million dues paying Zionists in the US. That's what we
call a block, a fifth column. Basically, do you think

(02:51:36):
it's gotten any better? Do you think it's grown then
as now? In addition to unending pressure, there was financial compensation.
Truman reportedly received receiving a suitcase full of money from
Zionis while on his campaign trail around the country. Let's

(02:51:58):
check out the footnote on that. Where that footnote comes from,
Gorvedal wrote, quote sometime in the late nineteen fifties that
world class gossip and occasional historian John F. Kennedy told
me how in nineteen forty eight, Harry S. Truman had
been pretty much abandoned by everyone when he came to

(02:52:19):
run for president. Then an American Zionist brought him two
million dollars in cash in a suitcase aboard his whistlestop
campaign train. Quote. That's why our recognition of Israel was
rushed through so fast. Gorvidale forward. This is in Gorvidale's
forward to Jewish History Jewish Religion. The Weight of three
thousand Years by Israel Shahak, a book that I have

(02:52:42):
read on this show that I release every once in
a while, re release every once in a while. Everybody
ever wonders why. They're like, oh, Pete released us a
couple of months ago, why is he releasing it again?
First of all, new people showing up. Second of all,
listen to it again. This is how we got here.

(02:53:07):
Abraham Fineberg, this is still reading the footnotes. Abraham Finberg,
in his Truman Library Oral History interview, describes arranging for
money to be delivered to Truman during his train campaign
around the nation. Quote. I had already got the commitments
for one hundred thousand dollars from people around the country,
all of whom understood that without Truman, Israel would have

(02:53:27):
had very difficult days and times trying to even come
into existence. As a train went into towns where there
were Jewish communities, I arranged that a Jewish delegation would
ask to see the president and be received on the train,
and that in as many cases as possible they would
bring him donations above these original commitments. So the trip triumphant.

(02:53:56):
So the trip was a triumphant trip from his point
of view as a politican. He often said, quote, if
not for my friend Abe, I couldn't have made the trip,
and I wouldn't have been elected. This is Richard D. McKenzie.
Abraham Feinberg Oral History Interview, Truman Library, August twenty third,

(02:54:16):
nineteen seventy three. We haven't had a country in a
very long time. There was a term that basically could
get you arrested in the seventies and eighties, zog Zionist
occupied government. I don't care. I'm going to use it

(02:54:40):
as much as possible. If it is not obvious that
now it's as bad as it was then, then you're
you're either not paying attention or you refuse to accept that.
You think it's unseemly to believe these things. New Heading

(02:55:01):
Personal influences on Truman. One person key in such Zionist
financial connections to Truman was Abraham Feinberg, a wealthy businessman
who was later to play a similar role with President
Johnson Huh. While many Americans have been aware of Truman's
come from behind win over Dewey, few people know about

(02:55:22):
the critical role of Finberg and the Zionist lobby and
financing Truman's victory. After Feinberg financed Truman's famous whistlestop campaign tour,
Truman credited him with his presidential win. This is in parenthesis.
When the CIA later discovered that Finberg also helped to
finance illegal gun running to Zionist groups, the Truman administration

(02:55:45):
looked the other way, huh shocking. An individual inside the
US government who worked to influence policy was David K. Niles,
executive assistant first to FDR and then to Truman. Niles,
according to author Alfred Lilienthal, was a member of a

(02:56:07):
select group of confidential advisors with an often quoted passion
for anonymity. Niles, though occasionally publicized as mister Truman's mystery Men,
remained totally unknown to the public. Behind the scenes, Nile
was regularly briefed by the head of the Washington office
of the Zionist Organization of America. When it was discovered

(02:56:30):
the top secret information was being passed onto the Israeli government,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Omar Bradley,
told Truman he had to choose between Bradley and Niles.
Not long after, Niles resigned and went on a visit
to Israel. Another who helped influence Truman was his old

(02:56:54):
Kansas City friend and business partner Eddie Jacobson, active in
Bennet Brith and a passionate believer in Jewish nationalism who
was able to procure Zionist access to the President at
key times. Truman called Jacobson's input of decisive importance. Passionate
believer in Jewish nationalism. Do you think he was that

(02:57:16):
passionate about American? About American nationalism or America? Still? Another
was Sam Rosenman, a political advisor to Truman, whose screen
State Department memos sent to Truman. A longtime diplomat reports
that one of the department's memos was returned unopen with
a notation quote, President Truman already knows your views and

(02:57:39):
doesn't need this. Evan M. Wilson, a career diplomat who
had been US Consul general in Jerusalem, later wrote that
Truman had been largely motivated by domestic political considerations. At
least one of Truman's key policy speeches was drafted primarily

(02:57:59):
by the Washington representative of the Jewish Agency Under Secretary
of State James E. Webb, in a dispatch to Secretary
of State Dan Ascherson, noted the obvious quote past records
suggests Israel has had more influence with the US than
the U has us with Israel. I would say at

(02:58:24):
this point, the US has failed to exist and hasn't
existed since then. Chapter ten pro Israel pressure on General
Assembly members. When it was clear that, despite US support,
the partition recommendation did not have the two third support

(02:58:47):
of the UN General Assembly required to pass, Zionists pushed
through a delay in the vote. They then used this
period to pressure numerous nations into voting the recommendation. A
number of people or described this campaign. Robert Nathan, a
Zionist who had worked for the US government and who
was particularly active in the Jewish Agency, wrote afterward, quote,

(02:59:11):
we used any tools at hand, such as telling certain
delegations that the Zionists would use their influence to block
economic aid to any country that did not vote for partition.
Another Zionist proudly stated, quote, every clue was meticulously checked

(02:59:31):
and pursued, not the smallest or the remotest of nations,
but was contacted and wooed. Nothing was left to chance.
Financier and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruk. Another one right before,
I believe, before I did the forest All James Forrestall
episode with Pilos, we did one on Bernard Baruk, financier

(02:59:57):
and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruch. And now let me
just say, Bernard Baruke, enemy James Forrestall hero just you
know that starting this sentence for the third time, my apologies.
Financi Our and longtime presidential advisor Bernard Baruk told France

(03:00:18):
it would lose us AID if it voted against partition.
Top White House presidential aide David Niles organized pressure on
Liberia through rubber magnate Harvey Firestone, who told the Liberian
president that if Liberia did not vote in favor of partition,
Firestone would revoke his planned expansion in the country. Liberia

(03:00:39):
voted yes. Latin American delegates were told that the Pan
American Highway construction project would be more likely if they
voted yes. Delegates wives received mink coats. The wife of
the Cuban delegate returned hers. Costa Rica's president Jose Figetus,

(03:01:00):
reportedly received the blank checkbook. Haiti was promised economic aid
if it would change its original vote opposing partition. Longtime
zion A Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, along with ten
Senators and truman domestic advisor Clark Clifford, threatened the Philippines.
Seven bills on the Philippines were pending in Congress. Before

(03:01:25):
the vote on the plan, the Philippine delegate had given
a passionate speech against partition, defending the inviola inviolable primordial
rights of a people to determine their political future and
preserve the territorial integrity of their native land. The delegate

(03:01:49):
went on to say that he could not believe that
the General Assembly would sanction a move that would place
the world back on the road to the dangerous principles
of racial exclusiveness and to the archaic documents of theocratic governments. Basically,
what he's saying is, we just fought a World war
because a bunch of countries thought that they could remain German,

(03:02:17):
or Italian, or just that they could remain what they were,
what they've always what they've been since, you know, for centuries.
But now we have to let the let this small

(03:02:37):
group bend our will so that they can have their
ethno state and they can have their theocracy. We we
can't even close the fucking borders without people screaming that

(03:03:04):
it's evil that you know, you're oh, you're fascists, you're this,
you're that. Yet this small group can throw their weight.
We allow them to throw their weight around so that
they could get their own country and operate their borders
however they want. And then one of their biggest frigging

(03:03:27):
influences in this country, who's a senator, a manual seller,
he can do that. He can threaten the President of
the United States and then swing open our borders wide.
And then when you complain about that it's anti semitism,

(03:03:48):
the fuck yourselves. We don't have a country if we
don't stop this. We don't have a nation if we
don't stop this. We don't have a people if we
don't stop this. And the only reason you may see
some of them now calling for closed borders is because
it's come back to bite them in the ass. It's

(03:04:14):
all about them. They don't care about you. They care
about their survival and their thriving their diaspora. This doesn't
even mention the fact that they went through all of
this to have their own country, and then they won't

(03:04:36):
go there. They want to stay here and be able
to just absolutely be parasitic on us or on Europe,
on anywhere they go. Twenty four hours later, after intenzionis

(03:04:57):
pressure of the Philippine delegate voted in favor of Part two.
On November twenty nine, nineteen forty seven, UN General Assembly
Resolution one eighty one, the resolution creating partition, passed. While
this resolution is frequently cited, it was of limited, if any,
legal impact. General Assembly resolutions, unlike Security Council revolutions, are

(03:05:17):
not binding on member states. For this reason, the resolution
requested that the Security Council take the necessary measures as
provided for in the plan for its implementation, which the
Security Council never did. Legally, the General Assembly resolution was
a recommendation and did not create any states. What it

(03:05:39):
did do, however, was increased the fighting in Palestine. Within months,
the Zionists had forced out over four hundred and thirteen
thousand people. So basically there were four hundred and thirteen
thousand people who lived there for century, for a millennia,

(03:06:04):
and this group used all of their power and wealth
that they've an influence that they've figured out that they've
basically cheated people out of over the centuries when it
comes to money. Definitely. Look, sorry, I've written read these

(03:06:26):
books where they brag about it. To force out almost
half a million people who have lived there for centuries.
I mean as a land went out of people for
people out of land, right or I guess they were
all evil, right, they're all evil, They're all evil Muslims?
Did how many of these people were Christians? A lot?

(03:06:53):
ZIONUS military units had stealthily been preparing for war before
the UN vote, and had acquired massive weapons, some of
it through a widespread network of illicit gun running operations
in the US under a number of front groups was
mentioned above. On May fifteenth, Zionists announced the creation of
their new state. They decided to name it Israel and

(03:07:15):
chose not to set its boundaries or to write a constitution,
a situation which yeah, they still don't have a constitution there.
Five Arab armies joined the fighting, but contrary to general
perceptions of this war, Zionis Asraeli forces outnumbered the combined
Arab and Palestinian combatants. Basically, what you have here people

(03:07:41):
talk about, oh, all these Arabs and Muslims just started
coming from other countries. Basically, it would be like if
somebody invaded, if a foreign entity invaded Alabama, and then Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia,
and South Carolina sent armies to help repel the invasion.

(03:08:09):
If a foreign entity, if a foreign army came and
started forcing people out of Alabama and Mississippi, Tennessee, South
Carolina and Georgia sent armies, That's what it That's what
it was. Had nothing to do with Islam. It had
to do with the fact that there are people, Yes,

(03:08:31):
they might happen to be Muslim, but Christians from if
they did that here, Christians from Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina,
and Georgia would come. The fact that they were Christians
may have a little bit to do with it, but
it wouldn't. Can we fucking stop with the bullshit already?
They've already bragged that they brought they brought terrorism to

(03:08:57):
the Middle East Jews, Zionists, if you're scared to use
that term. The UN eventually managed to create a temporary
and very partial ceasefire, which during Israel obtained even more

(03:09:18):
which Israel, which during which Israel obtained even more armaments.
A Swedish UN mediator, Count Folk Bernadotte, who had previously
rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis. He basically had
negotiated to get Jews out of out of concentration camps.
He was dispatched to negotiat an end to the violence.

(03:09:40):
Israeli assassins killed him, and Israel continued what it called
what it was to call its war of independence. How
can invading army call it a war of independence? Why
would you do anything nice for these people if they're
just gonna fucking kill you? Why are we still putting

(03:10:07):
up with this? At the end of this war, through
ruthless implementation of plans to push out as many non
Jews as possible, Israel came into existence on seventy eight
percent of Palestine. But let us take a closer look
at the violence. To follow the UN recommendation, I'm done.

(03:10:28):
I'm frigging you can. We'll do this on episode seven.
All right, take care everyone, have a good weekend and
spend time with people you love. Take care. All right,
Here we go, Part seven of Against Our Better Judgment

(03:10:48):
by Alison Weir. Last episode got me worked up So, gee,
when you're going to talk about massacres in the Conquest
of Palestine, how much better I do this time? All right,
here we go Chapter eleven, Massacres in the Conquest of Palisan.

(03:11:09):
The passing of the Partition Resolution in November nineteen forty
seven triggered the violence of the State Department and Pentagon
analysts had predicted and for which Zionists had been preparing.
So the State Department in Penagon knew this was going
to happen, and Zionists were preparing for the violence. There
were at least thirty three cheez that number. Just I

(03:11:34):
love how that number triggers spurg so much. There were
at least thirty three massacres of Palestinian villages, half of
them before a single Arab army joined the conflict. So
the narrative you will hear Zionists and Jews say is

(03:11:54):
that as soon as they showed up from all over
the place, just poured over the borders for no reason,
because Jews were there. They wanted to kill Jews. According
to this, there were at least thirty three massacres of
Palestinian villages, half of them before a single Arab army

(03:12:17):
shut up to the conflict. So what is the uh
ah okay, so the looking for Oh, she just lists
out all of the villages and the dates that these
massacres took place, and it's from Kemseia Palestinian refugees right

(03:12:41):
to return and repartition. Ziona's forces were better equipped and
had more men under arms and their opponents. If you remember,
for my two Hundred Years Together series, doctor Johnson reiterates
over and over and over again that the Jews in Russia,

(03:13:02):
especially in Ukraine, the revolutionaries were far better equipped than
their Russian counterparts. Why because they were getting arms from overseas,
They were getting arms from other places. They were better
financed the police forces there. You're not really used to

(03:13:25):
violence when you have a monoculture. But introduce a foreign element,
especially a foreign element as such, and here's what happens.
Zinus forces were better equipped and had more men under
arms in their opponents, and by the end of Israel's
quote unquote War of Independence, over seven hundred and fifty
thousand Palestinian men, women and children were ruthlessly expelled. Zionis

(03:13:52):
had succeeded in their first half of their goal. Israel,
the self described Jewish state had come into existence, so
that seven hundred and fifty thousand Palestinian men, women and
children were ruthlessly expelled from their homes and their homes
were taken over by Jews. They call that in Palestine

(03:14:12):
and in the Arab world the nakba. It's the catastrophe.
When you mentioned it to a Zionist or a Jew nowadays,
especially one who is militant Zionist, they will say, that's
a made up term. You mean, like pilgrim. Only one

(03:14:33):
group in the world is allowed to have a term
for their for what's allegedly happened to them. As Israeli
historian Tom Sege writes, quote, Israel was born of terror,
war and revolution, and its creation required a measure of
fanaticism and cruelty. The massacres were carried out by Zionist forces,

(03:14:56):
including Zionist militias that had engaged in terrorist attacks in
the area for years proceeding to partition resolution. Okay, so
what is the I mean, anyone who knows anything knows this,
but hold on something on my glasses bothered me. Violence

(03:15:18):
between the footnotes is violence between Zionis and Palestinians. Began
in the nineteen twenties, with both sides at times killing civilians.
Palestinian uprisings against Zionist colonialism occurred in nineteen twenty and
nineteen twenty nine, and against the British in nineteen thirty six.
That's from Ilin. I think it's Ilin Papa. I can't
remember his first name, but Papa is ethnic cleansing. I

(03:15:41):
think it's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, page fourteen.
Zionis created the Hagana in nineteen twenty same book, The
Irgun Late lumi In was founded in nineteen thirty one.
Split off from the Hagana, The String Gang was founded
in nineteen forty. Betsar, a youth movement, was founded by
iv Jabutenski in nineteen twenty three in Europe, with training

(03:16:04):
camps dotted about Europe. That's from Bell's Terror Out of Zion,
page nineteen. Historian Jay Bauerbell reports that members who went
to Palestine foresaw Zion remed. Foresaw quote Zion redeemed through
a blood sacrifice. I wonder what that means. In the

(03:16:25):
nineteen thirties, to Irigoan perpetrated a number of attacks on
Palestinian civilians from Bell's terror at a Zion page twenty
to twenty one. Pepe writes that the nineteen thirty six
Arab revolt gave the Haganah a chance to practice military
tactics quote, mostly in the form of retaliatory operations against
such targets as roadside snipers for thieves taking goods from

(03:16:47):
a kabbutz. The main objective, however, seems to have been
to intimidate Palestinian communities who happen to live in proximity
to Jewish settlements. Right let's see, Okay. The massacres were

(03:17:08):
carried out by Ziona's forces, including Zionis militias that engaged
in terrorist tacks in the area for years preceding the
Partition resolution. Descriptions of the massacres by both Palestinian and
Israelis are nightmarish, and Israeli eyewitness reported that at the
village of Al Dawaima, the children they killed by breaking

(03:17:28):
the children they killed by breaking their heads with stones.
There was not a house without dead. One soldier boasted
that he had raped the woman and then shot her.
One Palestinian woman testified that a man shot her. A
nine month old pregnant sister and then cut her stomach
open with a butcher knife. Okay, well, I mean I've

(03:17:52):
heard exaggerations and ridiculous claims from both sides. Now what
I know is people are being killed, and just people
who have lived there, whose families have lived there for
a thousand years, are being being removed, and a lot

(03:18:15):
of people are being killed. And I know that women,
that Palestinian women were raped by Jewish men because I
saw a documentary with a bunch of the men who
participated in this, and one of them was bragging about it.
So unless he's lying, which I mean, there's a really
good chance he's lying. But you know, one of the

(03:18:38):
better documented massacres occurred in a small neutral Palestinian village
called Diary Yassan Yesin in April nineteen forty eight, before
any Arab armies had joined the war. So I know
that again they will tell you Arabs just poured in
from a And you know I used it last time,
the or not last time, maybe a couple episodes ago.
The example of if al Obama was invaded by a

(03:19:01):
foreign force, I assume knowing that problems there'd be problems
from coming from elsewhere, that even if the even though
you would expect the government, the federal government to do
something about it, but if we have some lunatic leftists
in charge, it may not care about Alabama, but people,
but forces from Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, even northern Florida, the

(03:19:26):
Panhandle may send forces to help because they know that
they may be next. Yeah, this wasn't We've already had.
Monacham began brag that Jews brought not only terrorism to
the Middle East, but they brought it to the world.

(03:19:48):
What you will hear is Zionists argue is that these
Arab armies that were that were going to come and
join in the war against Jews, against these invading Jews
and Zionists are terrorists. They're reacting to terrorism. It's just
like in Russia when revolutionaries took up arms and tried

(03:20:09):
to overthrow the government. Whenever anybody fought back, they were
called pogrammists or murderers or people trying to commit genocide.
Same thing here. A Swiss Red Cross representative was one
of the first to arrive on the scene, where he
found two hundred and fifty four dead, including one hundred

(03:20:30):
and forty five women, thirty five of them pregnant. Witnesses
reported that the attacks attackers lined up families, men, women, grandparents,
and children, even infants, and shot them. Okay, I don't
know about the whole infants and children thing. I am not.

(03:20:51):
I believe the men, women and grandparents, so I'm willing
to steal man it and give the benefit of the doubt.
Of course, zionis all right. An eyewitness, a future colonel
in the Israeli military, later wrote of the militia members,
they didn't know how to fight, but as murderers they
were pretty good. So just bragging. Let's see. That's from

(03:21:16):
Daniel McGowan, a Jewish eyewitness an interview with Mayor Paiel
in Remembering Diarieya San. The Future of Israel and Palestine
by Daniel McGowan and Mark Ellis, book nineteen ninety eight,
page forty. Israeli military historian Colonel Meyer Payal, who was
then a member of the Haganah terrorist organization. You can

(03:21:36):
actually if you go on the Jewish virtual library, they
will call it a terrorist organization. Was that Diariea San
acting as a communications officer and witnessed parts of the massacre.
I'm sure whenever you want to say that you didn't.
Whenever someone wants to say they weren't taking part, they
always say communications officer or medic or something like that. Anyway,

(03:22:02):
the Red Cross representative who found the bodies at Diaryusin
arrived in time to see some of the killing and action.
He wrote in his diary that Zionist militia members were
still entering houses with guns and knives when he arrived.
He saw one young a Jewish woman carrying a blood
covered dagger, and saw another stab and old couple in
in their doorway. The representative wrote that the scene reminded

(03:22:24):
him of SS troops he had seen in Athens. No
idea what that means. Richard Catling, British Assistant Inspector General
for the Criminal Investigation Division, reported on sexual atrocities committed
by Zionist forces. Quote many young girls were raped and
later slaughtered. He reported all the women were also molested.

(03:22:47):
This I do believe because I've heard Zionists at the time,
Jews at the time, interviews with them later in years,
and they talked about this, and one of them went
as far as to say, is you know someone asked, well,
what does your wife think of this? He's like, I
never told my wife that I did these things. Do

(03:23:08):
you think it would even matter? Really? You think you
think that matter to his wife? I don't think so.
The diary you've seeing attack was perpetrated by two Zionist
militias and coordinated with the main Zionist forces, whose elite
unit participated in part of the operation. The head of
the two militias, Monacha Began, and Yitzak Shamir, later became

(03:23:30):
prime ministers of Israel. But it's the Arabs that are terrorists.
It's amazing to me that you can't call Israel a
terrorist state. I mean, I understand that it's it's over
the top, it's hyperbolic, and too many goofy fucking leftists

(03:23:52):
pieces of shit say that, But I mean, literally, you
had Monocha Began and Yitzak Shamir Minoica Began, who says
we invented terrorism, brought it into the world and brought
it to the Middle East, and Ytsak Shamir, I mean
two who were literal terrorists and killed innocence and basically
ethnically cleansed the land. That they became prime ministers and

(03:24:15):
you're not. But you're not allowed to call it a
terrorist state, no matter how lefty bullshit it sounds. Began,
head of the Ergun militia, sent the following message to
his troops about their victory at diaryy Sin, quoting this
is all gonna be one quote. Accept my congratulations on

(03:24:36):
the splendid act of conquest. Convey my regards to all
the commanders and soldiers. We shake your hands. We are
all proud of the excellent leadership, in the fighting spirit,
in this great attack. We stand to attention in memory
of the slain, We lovingly shake the hands of the wounded.
Tell the soldiers you have made history in Israel with
your attack and your conquests. Continue thus until victory. As

(03:24:58):
in Diary Sin, so everyone everywhere, we will attack and
smite the enemy. God, God, thou hast chosen us for conquest.
Approximately six months later, Began, who had publicly taken credit
the for other terrorist attacks, including blowing up the King
David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing ninety one people, came on

(03:25:22):
a tour of America. Isn't that Great? The tourist sponsors
included famous playwright Ben Hecht, a fervent Zionist, who applauded
urgoon violence and eventually included eleven senators, twelve governors, seventy congressmen,
seventeen justices, and numerous other public officials. Yeah. Yeah, If

(03:25:50):
you want to understand why no one in our government
will decry or condemn Israeli violence, you know where Israel
just launches bombs at Tehran, a capital city, a city
of with civilians. But as soon as Iran launches missiles

(03:26:18):
back and they land in Tel Aviv, where Israel uses
human shields to hide Unit eighty two hundred and a
bunch of their basically a bunch of their Their intelligence
and military outfits are not like out on the outskirts
of town where they can be No, they're in the

(03:26:40):
They're in the middle of town. But you will hear
Jews scream all day about human shields. So we watched
a launch on Tehran, saw apartment buildings hit like, oh,
we took out a leader probably and his family. The
family below beneath it now lived above it. Half the

(03:27:02):
people in the building perfectly fun. No one in our
government will condemn it. Half to people in this country
won't condemn it. But as soon as Iran launches back,
that needs to be condemned. I mean, this is the
same thing. They cry out in anger as they strike you,
they cry out in pain as they strike you. Oh

(03:27:23):
my god, look what I'm doing to you. You made
me do this. Look at all the pain. So back
in nineteen forty eight, eleven senators, twelve governors, seventy congressman,
seventeen justices, and numerous other public officials came out to
celebrate Monoco bag And I guarantee you they knew everything

(03:27:49):
that they did over there, the King David hotel, bombing,
Diario Sin, all of it, all of it. The State,
the State Department. Yeah, that makes that's about right. The
State Department, fully aware of his violent activities in Palestine,

(03:28:10):
tried to reject Began's visa, but was overruled by Truman.
I mean probably a manual seller was in there beating
on the resolute desk right saying we'll run you out
of town. Began later proudly admitted his terrorism in an

(03:28:32):
interview for American television when the interviewer asked him, how
does it feel in light of all that's going on
to be the father of terrorism in the Middle East?
Began proclaimed in the Middle East, in all the world.
She just repeated this. But we went over this earlier,
all right, Chapter twelve, US front Groups for Zionist militarism.

(03:28:56):
See how long this is? So I don't know how
long we're going to go here. This might be a
little bit long, but ah fine. A number of groups
operated in the US to support Zionist paramilitary groups in Palestine.
These often employed clandestine methods and deceptive names. I mean,

(03:29:17):
I don't think I think we've already seen that the
general American public had little idea about the true nature
of these groups and what they were supporting. Hey, Irgun
Delegation ll Kuk as Peter Bergson, a covert Iraguon delegation
Ergoon is a terrorist group. They openly admit that it

(03:29:39):
was a terrorist group. A covert Irgun Delegation operated in
the US from the late nineteen thirties through nineteen forty
eight under a half dozen front organizations, including Emergency Committee
to Save European Jewry and American Friends of a Jewish Palestine.
The main leader was Hillel Kuk, the senior Ragoon official

(03:29:59):
were outside Palestine. Upon coming to the US, he assumed
the alias Peter Bergsen and the group is often called
the Bergsen Boys. Books been written about the Bergs and Boys.
The other leader was Yetzak ben Ami, father of Jeremy
ben Ami, founder of today's lobbying organization J Street. They're

(03:30:23):
still here people, they didn't go anywhere. Also closely involved
was Aery Zabetinsky, son of right wing Zionist leader Vladimir
zev Jabutinsky. Also associated with the group was Mayir Kahana,
who twenty years later founded the Violent Jewish Defense League.
Though historians have documented that their purpose in coming to

(03:30:45):
the US was to raise money for ergu and activities
in Palestine, this was unknown to the multitude of high
level supporters the group even eventually required. The supporters included
Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dorothy Parker, Herbert Hoover, will Rogers,
Junior Labor leader William Green, US Solicitor General Fowler Harper,

(03:31:06):
and US Interior Secretary Harold Ikeys. The FBI, however, suspected
this illegal fundraising. It investigated the Front Group several times,
but largely bundled the investigations and failed to produce evidence.
As author Raphael Metaf divulges quote. In fact, according to Bergsen,
lobbyist baruk Rabine Wits funds raised by the bergen Bergsnites

(03:31:31):
in the United States were indeed secretly transferred to the Iragon.
The methods of transfer were simply so well concealed that
the FBI could not uncover them. Well, when you own
half the politicians, right, oh, now they own all of them.

(03:31:56):
Their biographer, Israeli professor Judith but Baumel rights at the
Ragoon delegation quickly set about integrating themselves into the social
and political culture of their temporary home. They quickly grasped
the public mood, molded to a large extent by propaganda
and public relations, was a dominant force in the American

(03:32:18):
system of direct representation, and they soon became masters of
media manipulation. I love that it says the political culture
of their temporary home, which so many of them don't
want to leave. Just know, consider the amounts that don't

(03:32:44):
consider this to be their home. But they won't leave.
But they won't leave us alone. They won't. They continue
to influence everything we do politically at the highest levels. Thus,
besides their secret funneling of money for terrorist activities in

(03:33:06):
Palestine against Palestinians, the British and members of the Jewish community.
The Aragoon delegation engaged in numerous public activities pushing for
the Jewish state in Palestine. They lobbied Congress and the
White House, organized a march on Washington, DC of five
hundred rabbis, and placed full page ads in newspapers around
the US. They also produced a pageant called We Will

(03:33:28):
Never Die, celebrating the Jewish contribution to Western civilization, written
by Ben Heck, directed by moss Hart, featuring music by
Kurt wil and starring Edward G. Robinson. The cast also
included Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, one hundred Yeshiva
students from Brooklyn, and fifty Orthodox rabbis. Forty thousand attended

(03:33:52):
the Extravaganza's New York performances. It then went on to
play in most of America's largest cities. The group produced
several other plays and rallies, one of which started a
young Marlon Brando and brought in one million dollars. We
never had a chance, but at least now we know, right,

(03:34:17):
people didn't even know at that point there were some
Look what happened to him? Think of the original America. First,
the Real America. First Bamel reports to an American Jewish
leader who had immigrated to Palestine wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt

(03:34:38):
asking her to withdraw support from the Brando production because
its profits were being used to fund terrorist activity. Eleanor
ignored this advice, apparently unaware that it was well founded.
During World War Two, the various organizations created by the
Urguin Delegation frequently pushed for rescuing European Jews from the Nazis,
but one of their major demands was the creation of

(03:35:00):
a Jewish army of stateless and Palestinian Jews. The idea
was that the Allies should create a Jewish army to
fight alongside them against the Nazis. However, certain right wing
Zionists had sought this army even before the Nazi Holocaust began,
and some analysts argue it was a plan with a

(03:35:23):
mixed agenda. Historian William Rubinstein writes, quote, it is rather
difficult to believe that Bergson's implausible proposal did not have
far more to do with creating the nucleus of a
Jewish Palestinian force to be used against the British and
the Arabs than with saving Europe's Jews from the Nazis.
So basically, what are you're saying is you're saying this

(03:35:44):
wasn't supposed to do anything to help fight the Nazis.
This was to help fight This was to fight against
Palestinians and British and the Arabs. One supporter, best selling
author Pierre van Poussan, resigned when he learned that various

(03:36:04):
delegations spawned committees to save Jews were all being run
by the same small group, and they were all tied
to horrific terrorists actions in Palestine. I'm just reading this
talking about how Jews went to Palestine and just became
went there and brought terrorism there. Yet you say this

(03:36:28):
to Zionists and they attack you, and they say, no,
that didn't happen, or they make excuses. It wasn't terrorism.
It was revolutionary. It was our war for independence, the
people invading land and saying that this is our war
for independence. He declared that he did not believe that

(03:36:49):
he had that they had the means or intention to
truly save Jews from the Nazis, writing quote to speak bluntly,
that Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe is
a hoax. And judgment a very cruel hoax perpetrated on
the American public, Jewish and non Jewish alike. Some at
the time and since have considered the delegations efforts heroic,

(03:37:11):
but critics point out that it did not manage to
rescue any Jews during the Nazi Holocaust, though it may
have helped contribute to the pressure on President Roosevelt to
later create a war refugee board. I mean, it didn't.
It didn't help, to consider it, as a critics point out,
during though it helped. So, I mean, what was the

(03:37:35):
purpose of it If these if they're fellow Jews in
Europe were in danger, if we had if they're Americans
in danger in another country, we'd probably do anything we

(03:37:58):
could to get them out or help them at least
a sane when we had a sane government. But they
don't want that. They honestly believe that it's all right
to sacrifice people as long as it helps us achieve

(03:38:24):
our goals. The group had numerous opponents among Jewish leaders
about Zionists and anti Zionists. Some, unlike the general public,
were aware of their secret connections to Manallcolm Wagan's Oregon
whose violent tactics many found a borrent, particularly when they
targeted the British at a time that England was fighting
to defeat Hitler, the most effective way, many felt to

(03:38:45):
rescue Jews. It's amazing that while the while the world
was at war, while the whole world basically came together
to fight fascism and took the side of communism. And
I know that causes so much cognitive dissonance in people.

(03:39:06):
I love bringing that up to people when they talk
about how we had to defeat the Nazis, and I said, yeah,
by fighting on the side of communism. And then you
know they get half of Europe too. Uh yeah. Choke
on it. Choke on it, motherfuckers. Biographer Baumel writes that

(03:39:31):
the more mainstream Zionist establishment was disturbed by the clandestine
nature of the committee's formation and the absence of any
hint as its intention. This division among Zionists was largely
hidden from view, however, as a delegation aim for the
American man on the street, using tantalizing slogans, illustrated advertisements,
and seductive curiosity wedding gimmicks. Memo notes that Irgun's delegations

(03:39:57):
the Irgun delegation's primary triumph was to understand the power
of Madison Avenue. Yeah. Author Rafael Metoff describes the importance
of that understanding quote, The violent behavior of the Jewish
forces in Palestine would have surely undermined American public sympathy
for the Zionist cause if not for the efforts of

(03:40:18):
the Jewish underground's American friends. This public relations crusade was
critical in building American support. So to continue, I got
sidetracked before. While everyone's off fighting and dying in Europe,
these people are invading a land and bringing terrorism to

(03:40:39):
the Middle East and killing and raping and starting a
propaganda I mean starting a widespread propaganda campaign that includes
numerous politicians in this country to support them, know what
they do while men are dying, while seventy million are

(03:41:07):
dying in Europe. After World War II, the delegation became
involved in the sometimes secretive, sometimes very public movement of
European Jews to Palestine. One purpose Bena Me explained was
to build up the Ergun terror forces. Quote, we must
build a network in Europe capable of moving thousands of

(03:41:29):
Iragoun soldiers to Palestine. This intention, however, was not announced
to the general public. Bergs and KuK's uncle was Rabbi
Avrahim Yitsakkuk, often known as Rabbi Kuk the elder. Rabbi
Kuk was originally from Eastern Europe, Shocking had worked toward

(03:41:49):
the Balfour Declaration in Britain. Shocking and eventually became the
chief Rabbi of Palestine, because, of course he did. Perhaps
his most significant accomplishment was to devise an ideology that
merged a kabbalistic version of religious Judaism with political Zionism,
founding an extremist religious Zionism that continues in existence today. Again,

(03:42:12):
go back and read, go back and listen to my reading,
or go find a copy of the book Jewish History
Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak, a Jew from who lived
in Israel, and he will explain to you how Judaism
today has nothing to do with the Bible. They're not

(03:42:33):
even monotheists. They're polytheists, sex, magic and all sorts of bullshit.
The Kabbala teaches that non Jews are the embodiment of
Satan and that the world was created solely for the
sake of Jews. Rabbi Kuk, who achieved saintly status among
his followers in Israel and the US. Stated, the difference

(03:42:56):
between a Jewish soul and souls of non Jews is
greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul
and the souls of cattle. Yeah, that's why they can
kill children and then just tell you, oh, well, they

(03:43:17):
were human shields, that Hamas was using them as human shields,
and you go, yes, yes, I believe that. I believe
that clapping fucking seals. In addition to span In addition
to spanning the Jewish religious secular continuum, the Ergoon delegation
span the political spectrum from left to right, Baumel writes

(03:43:39):
that it evinced many of the unique characteristics of Eastern
European proto fascism while also forming partnerships with Communists and
Jews who belong to left wing American groups. No difference,
same thing spanned, so this Jewish religious secularism continue secular continent.

(03:44:00):
The Erguin delegation spanned the political spectrum from left to right.
If you have people on the left and you have
people on the right, and people on the right are
working and the people on the left are working, and
you've covered both sides. That's called the Kosher Sandwich b
Rabbi Korf and the Political Action Committee for Palestine. Another

(03:44:24):
terrorist front group in PR machine was formed by an
Orthodox Rabbi named Baruk Korff, who achieved tremendous mainstream success
and became well known in the US. His underground activities,
on the other hand, were considerably less known. Korff had
earlier been executive director of one of the Bergson Group's
entities before starting his own splinter group, the Political Action

(03:44:46):
Committee for Palestine. Korf used many of the same tactics
as Kook, while also building close relationships with the various
active and former congressmen. Korf combined these strong political connections
in PR machinations to extraordinary, if duplicitous effect. One example,
which historian Raphael met Of calls a particularly well choreographed stunt,

(03:45:07):
involved a former Republican Congressman, Joseph Clark Baldwin of New York.
At Corp's request, Baldwin, who had friendly relations with President Truman,
staged a highly publicized visit to England and Palestine in
nineteen forty six. Korf then composed Baldwin's official report of
the visit, which called on England and the United States
to recognize Palestine as an independent democracy of which homeless

(03:45:31):
European Jews shall be considered citizens. Then, immediately after writing
Baldwin's report, Korf put out a press release criticizing one
aspect of the report in order to make it appear
that Baldwin was not a puppet of the Political Action
Committee for Palestine, but rather had visited London in Jerusalem
with an open mind and returned with his own conclusions.

(03:45:56):
Baldwin here is just a useful idiot and a apparently
didn't speak out against It really makes you wonder when
you hear all this Epstein stuff how long this has
been going on. Korff was also involved in a terrorist

(03:46:19):
plot that was foiled in the last minute by a
young World War American World War II aviator studying in France.
British intelligence had discovered in nineteen forty six a Jewish terrorists,
including Korf, were planning to assassinate the British Foreign Minister.
For some reason, details about this were heavily censored from
the British public for many years, but in two thousand
and three the British security files were finally released in

(03:46:46):
nineteen forty seven. Corf and his group hatched a plan
to drop bombs on the British Foreign Office, along with
ten thousand threatening leaflets quoting we will carry the war
to the very heart of the British empireaflets to read
we will strike with all the bitterness and fury of
our servitude and bondage. Let's check the too eighty three.

(03:47:14):
This is from French arresting iragoons sternest Aids after exposure
of alleged plot to bomb London. This is from the
Jewish Telegraph Agency. This is I'm reporting on themselves, telling
you what they did. They do this all the time.
You're supposed here's the thing. You're supposed to celebrate it.

(03:47:37):
If you criticize it, Dan, you're an antisemi. The group
tried to recruit a young American aviator in Paris to
fly a plane from which the bombs would be dropped,
promising him lucrative jobs after the mission was completed. It'd
probably put a bullet in his head. Reginald Gilbert had

(03:48:01):
flown one hundred and thirty six combat missions over Europe
during World War Two, shooting down three German planes and
damaging seven. Gilbert pretended to agree with the plot, but
instead informed the American embassy and then worked with Scotland
yard in the Paris police to have the would be
assassins arrested. French police, who said they feared for the
flyer's life if the Stern gang ever caught up with him,

(03:48:23):
then flew him to London until he could return to
the US. Almost no one remembers this plot today, but
it was headline news at the time in newspapers across
the United States. While some news accounts revealed the full plot,
reports quickly stopped mentioning the bombs and recounted only the
plan to drop the threatening leaflets. Someone was leaning on

(03:48:45):
spokes people or reporters to make sure only part of
the story got out. Who could that have been. It
could be powerful Jews. It could be the politicians they
own I mean, who owned the press, but they couldn't
keep Gilbert quiet. In a first hand account of the
plot published by the New York Herald Tribune, Gilbert confirmed

(03:49:07):
that the group had planned much more than a leaflet drop.
The first idea had been to drop bombs on British Parliament,
but the target was subsequently changed to the Foreign Ministry
because Korf held a grudge against the office for refusing
him a visa to Palestine. It's funny that they didn't
was no plan to drop anything on the city of

(03:49:27):
London trademark City of London one square mile where all
the banks and everything is hh. What why wouldn't they
do that? In his article, Gilbert recounted a conversation he
had with Korf while playing along with the plot, which
he continued to do with the direction of Paris police.

(03:49:49):
He says he told Corf Fogg might prevent them from
locating their exact target, to which Korff replied that they
could just drop the bombs anywhere on London Gilbert. When
Gilbert protested that innocent people might be killed, Korf replied,
they are British, so they are our enemy. Just know,
replace British there with anyone who's not a Jew. I'll

(03:50:15):
be charitable Zionist. After being arrested by Paris police in
charge with illegal possession of explosives and war weapons, k
Korf came up with various stories. At one point he
claimed that Gilbert had been the guilty party. Next, he
and Hillel Kouk using his alias Peter Bergson, claimed that

(03:50:37):
the plot was a British frame up and that Gilbert
was a British agent. In other versions, Korf claimed that
the British Nazi Party fabricated the story, a claim picked
up by the British Weekly News Review. According to the
London Times, Corf later said that millions of dollars had
been subscribed by private American sources to fund the purchase

(03:50:58):
of the aircraft. So American sources, let's quote unquote American sources. There,
We're going to fund this. Powerful allies proclaimed that Kaorf
was innocent and brought pressure on the State Department to
help him. These allies included Korf's contacts in Congress and

(03:51:18):
his father, Rabbi Jacob Korf, who was leader of the
Boston Jewish Rabbinet and wielded considerable influence. When he died,
the Massachusetts Governor and Boston Mayer attended his funeral, which
was accompanied by a five thousand person march. By November
twenty second, all charges were dropped. In nineteen forty eight,

(03:51:42):
Barot Korf had the temerity to publish a large advertisement
in The New York Post calling a State Department policy
against enforcing the partition of Palestine. Pure and simple anti
Semitism plane everyday anti Semitism incorporated into the hearts and
minds of those who govern Free America. Later, Korff became

(03:52:09):
a close friend and furvn supporter of President Richard Nixon,
who called him my Rabbi. Kaorf is reported to have
influenced Nixon's strong support for Israel in efforts to allow
Soviet Jews to emigrate. It appears that Nixon was unaware
of Courf's terror connection pasted according to a book on
Nixon by investigative reporters Bob Woodward and Karl Bernstein, CIA

(03:52:32):
operatives who also appeared to have been ignorant of Korf's
background bullshit. Korf introduced him to Nixon as just a
small town Rabbi Korf introduced himself to Nixon as just
a small town Rabbi. Korf served as chaplain for the
Massachusetts Department of Mental Health for twenty one years. He

(03:52:52):
later acted as a consultant to Brown University in conjunction
with the school's acquisition of his extensive archives. According to
London Independent, Korf had many supporters in high places, including
prime ministers, Yet Sacrabin and goulda mayir see. The Sunoborne Institute,

(03:53:13):
a third collective of front groups, was the secret American
arm of the main Zionist paramilitary in Palestine, the Hagana,
known as the Snoborne Institute, It was founded by an American,
Rudolph G. Sannoborn, in connection in conjunction David Ben Gurion,
who led Zionist forces in Palestine. Snoborn, Zion of a

(03:53:34):
wealthy German Jewish family from Baltimore, had met Ben Gurion
in nineteen nineteen. Snoborn had traveled to the Versailles Peace
Conference as a secretary of a Zionist delegation at the
behest of Supreme Court Justice Brandeis a family friend, and
afterward went on a tour of Palestine. But conspiracies don't exist, bro,

(03:54:00):
you're paranoid. In nineteen forty five, Sauna Borne and Ben
Gurion hosted a meeting of seventeen well connected guests at
Sna Borne's Manhattan penthouse. Ben Gurion informed the group that
their purpose was to form an underground organization to raise
money and support for purposes which could not be publicized
or even fully disclosed. The guests came from Los Angeles, Toronto, Miami, Birmingham, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Minneapolis,

(03:54:26):
Saint Louis, Newark, New Haven, and New York. One was
a rabbi, five were lawyers, and the others were highly
successful businessmen. The organization was eventually to have representatives and
at least thirty five to forty industry groups, and in
one month alone there were meetings in Memphis, Ohio, New Jersey,
Ceedar Rapids, Iowa City, Baton, Rouge, Dallas, Washington, d C.

(03:54:48):
And forty more were scheduled. They also organized Zionist youth groups,
whose young members sometimes helped load guns onto boats headed
for Palestine for use in taking over the land for
a Jewish state. Ma Nazi youth US activities tried to
stop these illegal and damaging ACTI activity. US authorities tried

(03:55:12):
to stop these illegal and damaging activities. In nineteen forty eight,
the Director of Central Intelligence filled the top secret report
with the Secretary of Defense about the Zionis arms trafficking.
He warned US national security is unfavorably affected by these
developments and it could be seriously jeopardized. But continued illicit
traffic in the quote unquote implements of war. But like

(03:55:33):
the other Zionis front groups discussed above, the Sauna Borne
Institute had friends in high places. Author Grant Smith reports
that under Truman, quote Hagana operative Hagana operative, groups active
in arms trafficking within the US, like the terrorist charges
would only be lightly investigated and seldom persecuted prosecuted, so

(03:55:57):
they could openly traffic in arms within the United States
and then send them overseas. The amount of American money
mobilized for Zionism during this period is impossible to know,
but indication suggests that it was astronomical. The Jewish Agency
for Israel raised the equivalent in today's dollars of three
point five billion between nineteen thirty nine and May nineteen

(03:56:18):
forty eight alone, and has been described above, this was
just one of the numerous Zionist organizations raising money from Americans.
Stop right there. This was a longer one. I mean,
I mean, what's a takeaway from all this? And I'm
going to finish this. Of course, we do not have

(03:56:41):
a country. We haven't in a very long time. That's it.
We'll be back in a couple of days with Chapter thirteen.
Infiltrating Displaced persons camps in Europe to funnel people to Palestine.
Take care everyone, see you in a couple of days.

(03:57:05):
All right, let's do part eight of Against Our Better
Judgment by Alison. We are just finished doing the Sunday
live stream, and I'm like, oh well, well, let's just
get it done. We are here, so let's do it. Alrighty,
here we go, Chapter thirteen. Infiltrating Displaced Persons camps in

(03:57:30):
Europe to funnel people to Palestine. A similar underground campaign
was operated in Europe. Zionis Cadres infiltrated displaced persons camps
that had been set up to house refugees displaced by
during World War Two. These infiltrators tried secretly to funnel
people to Palestine. When it turned out that most didn't

(03:57:52):
want to go to Palestine, they worked to convince them,
sometimes by force. The fact was that need more people
to go to Palestine. As Ben Gurion stated in nineteen
forty forty four, the essence of Zionism is one of
a populating endeavor to populate Israel with multitudes of Jews.

(03:58:16):
G isn't that what they do with the weaponized immigration
now like hyas Hebra immigrant aid society. You just you know,
if you want people to take over, you're gonna need multitudes.
If you want people to crowd out who's already there,

(03:58:39):
to punish who's already there, you crowd as many people
as possible. Israeli professor Joseph Gradzinski explains that Zionists were
looking for Schomer and Noshitov good human materials, a phrase
Zionist organizers frequently used. Convincing Jews to uproot themselves and

(03:59:04):
move to Palestine proved to be a formidable task. When
life is good, people tend to stay where they are.
Candidates for Palestine immigration therefore had to be Jews whose
life was not good. Post Holocaust DPS displaced persons became
a human reserve, reserve of great immigration potential, hence a

(03:59:26):
prime target for the Zionists. A senior Masad commander anticipated
that even these might not wish to come to Palestine,
and we need to be actively recruited, quoting we must
not think that thousands upon thousands will come knocking at
the country's gates. Once they open. Zionist's movement must understand

(03:59:47):
that it must be first on the market. When only
a minority of Jewish refugees wish to go to Palestine.
A report by Zionist operative Rabbi Klausner concluded, quote, the
people must be forced to go to Palestine. Author Alfred
Lilienthal reports that Zionists working in the refugee camps employed

(04:00:07):
numerous means to compel residents to agree to go to Palestine,
including confiscation of food rations, dismissal from work, expulsion from
the camps, taking away legal protections and visa rites, and
in one case, quote, even the public flogging of a
recalcitrant recruit for the Israeli for the israel Army end quote.

(04:00:35):
The Jewish Brigade of the British Army, a unit long
sought by Zionists and finally created it in the final
months of the war, was one of the first on
the scene. Its soldiers and officers turned into clandestine emissaries
of the Zionist movement. Gratzinski reports quote one role Brigade
soldiers took upon themselves was to gather Jewish children hidden

(04:00:55):
away in monasteries or with non Jewish families. He writes,
quote Jewish orphans were to be found in many places
having survived thanks to the goodness of Christian families and
institutions that hid them throughout the war end quote. Now
the Brigade soldiers, directed by the Jewish Agency's Diasporas Center,

(04:01:17):
were retrieving them and taking them to special orphanages quote,
where they were to be cared for, receive Zionist education,
and be trained for immigration to Palestine. Gratzinski reports that
the process was not always easy. Quote. Many families who
rescued Jewish children were not treating them as if they
were their own. Okay, let me repeat that, my apologies.

(04:01:43):
Many families who rescued Jewish children were now treating them
as if they were their own. To retrieve these children,
brigade men occasionally resorted to force end quote. Future Israeli
Major General yos Pa and his sisters were among them.
They had been raised by a Christian family almost from infancy.

(04:02:05):
Brigade soldiers quote came in one day armed and threatened
the adoptive parents, saying that these are Jewish children and
they must give us, and they must give us away,
otherwise they would suffer. They had no choice but hand
us over, and we were put in a Jewish orphanage
in Belgium. The children tried to refuse to leave the house,

(04:02:27):
and one of his sisters later said that her brothers
screams till her brother's screams still echo in her head.
One of the best known orphanages, Salvino House, was run
by brigade soldiers who implemented strict rules, including requiring that
only Hebrew be spoken. Children were not permitted to leave

(04:02:48):
the orphanage to search for relatives, out of concern that
they might then stay in Europe rather than go to Palestine.
But all these people care about his face family, right.
Gratzinsky goes on to report the thousands of children passed
through such institutions, quote their period of residence there being

(04:03:11):
just another part of the journey to the promised land
end quote. In July nineteen forty five, Zionists organized the
First Congress of Jewish Survivors in Germany, which issued a
proclamation calling for the immediate establishment of a Jewish state
in Palestine. While the proclamation claimed to represent the survivors,
in reality, most of the ten signatories were Zionist envoys

(04:03:35):
from Palestine. Future Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion believed
that Palestine should be the only destination for Jewish survivors.
Gratzinsky and other Israeli authors provide little known context for
the odyssey of the forty five hundred survivors from German
camps who set Sale in July nineteen seventy nineteen forty

(04:03:56):
seven as illegal immigrants on a ship later named Exodus.
Bruke Kimmerling, an Israeli professor and author of nine books
on the founding tenets of Zionism, writes, quote, the real
story of the ship was far less glorious than the
one told in Leon Uris's nineteen fifty eight bestseller and
Otto Preminger's nineteen sixty film. Israeli author Edith Zertle calls

(04:04:23):
it an orchestrated media event. Kimmerling, citing Zertel's research, writes
that Ben Gurion quote felt that the plight of the
Jewish refugees in Europe needed to be dramatized in order
to attract more sympathy for the Jewish struggle over Palestine.
While many people have heard that British authorities refused to
allow their illegal immigration into Palestine and forced the boat

(04:04:46):
to be returned to Germany, few know that the French
government had agreed to host the refugees. Ben Gurion rejected
this solution, and the survivors were forced unnecessarily to remain
on board for seven months. Kimberling commented, quote, ben Gurion's
strategy in the Exodus affair paid off. The fate of

(04:05:08):
the refugee ship, attracted considerable and sympathetic attention around the world,
and served the Zionist cause well. Few observers at the
time knew that many of the refugees from the Exodus
had applied for immigration visas to the United States and
were hardly anxious to settle in Israel. Kimberling points out, quote,

(04:05:30):
By dramatizing the fate of the survivors in whom he
had little interest except as future residence of the state
he was building, Ben Gurion helped to make Israel the
world's chief powerbroker over Jewish affairs. Under his leadership, Israel
established a claim to represent all of world Jewry, and
on this basis successfully claimed reparations from the Federal Republic

(04:05:54):
of Germany. Let me look at the footnote on that.
I swear they're still paying those reparations today. That's from
Baruk Kimmerling's Israel's culture of martyrdom the Nation, January tenth,
two thousand and five. It's an article. This is a

(04:06:17):
note here. This was not the only such case that
has been somewhat misrepresented in ZIONUS propaganda. Two hundred Jewish
refugees aboard another such ship, the Patria, died when Jewish
forces placed a bomb under the whole to disable the ship.
Maybe we'll get into the Patrio Fair. I don't know

(04:06:40):
if that's going to come up right now. Let me see. Basically,
let me look up the Patrio Fair so I have
I can tell you exactly what happened the Patriot case
Patria disaster. So, the Patrio disaster was the sinking on

(04:07:05):
twenty fifth of November nineteen forty by the Jewish paramilitary
organization Hagana of a French built ocean liner, the hundred
and eighty five ton SS Patria, in the port of Haifa.
Patria was about to depart with about eighteen hundred Jewish
refugees whom the British authorities were deporting to More Mortius, moretatious.

(04:07:31):
Can I can't pronounce that Zionis organization opposed the deportation
and the underground paramilitary Hagana group planted a bomb intended
to disable the ship to prevent it from leaving Haifa.
The Ghana claims to have miscalculated the effects of the explosion.
The bomb blew the steel frame of one full side
of the ship, and the ship sank in less than
sixteen minutes, trapping hundreds in the hold, going two hundred

(04:07:54):
and sixty seven in injuring one hundred and seventy two.
The British allowed the survivors to remain in Palestine on
human unhumanitarian grounds. Who was responsible and the true reason
why Patria sank remained controversial into nineteen fifty seven, when
Munya Martyr, the person who planted the bomb, published a
book about his experience. Yeah, that's them new heading. Zionists

(04:08:27):
implement forced conscription. Gratzinski reports as Zionist leaders determined that
they needed to implement force sub conscription if they were
going to attain sufficient numbers for the war they were
planning against Palestinians. So they were planning a war against Palestinians,
a war of independence. Yeah, how what since American and

(04:08:54):
European Jews would never have gone along with this. They
targeted the weakest population. For this compulsory redraft residents of
the displaced persons camps. After a voluntary recruitment drive netted
less than point three percent of the DP population, a
compulsory draft was implemented. This bizarre project, in which a

(04:09:15):
non nation state imposed compulsory military service on people who
had never even lived in the land for which they
were required to fight, was enforced through a number of mechanisms,
including publishing blacklists of draft evators, firing them from jobs,
evicting them from dwellings, withdrawing their food rations, and beating them.

(04:09:40):
These tactics were also at times used on their relatives.
So you don't serve, We're gonna beat your mom is
a war for independence. In one camp quote, a father
of a Gaias evader Wecker was beaten up, as was

(04:10:03):
the father of one who did not register. In another case,
an old father, Richard Isaac, was beaten because his son
Moishe Richter did not register for the Gaeis. Men and
women who weren't able to evade this draft were sometimes
assigned to combat units with minimal training and given little
time to get their bearings. They were paid less than

(04:10:24):
volunteers from English speaking Western countries and had fewer privileges.
Many could not even understand their Hebrew orders. Some died
in battle in battle, others died unknown, as Gritszinski reports,
having had neither a home nor a family to come
back to. They were just pawns in the Zionist game.

(04:10:46):
Israeli author Tom Segev reports that most of the immigrants
from Germany were refugees who came against their will. They
were not Zionists in Israel. They were objects of condescension
and contempt. Let's go to that. That's from Segev's book Okay.
But in American Pravd by Ron Uns he talks about that.

(04:11:10):
He talks about how Jews who came from the camps,
who were considered Holocaust survivors, were treated like second class
citizens in Israel even after Israel was formed. They were
just looked down upon. The American public, however, was led
to believe that European Jews desperately wished to go to Palestine,

(04:11:33):
and the well organized, well funded, and frequently ruthless operation
behind the emigration was hidden from view. Funding for the
emigrant recruitment recruitment operation included twenty five million from the
non governmental organization and goo the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
A British general who had been Eisenhower's deputy and was

(04:11:55):
credited with the build up for the Normandy invasion, Sir
Frederick Morgan, noticed what was going on. He publicly pointed
out that many of the refugees headed for Palestine were
well dressed and well fed, their pockets bulging with money,
and concluded that something must be encouraging their emigration. The
World Jewish Congress stated officially and duplicitously General Morgan's allegation

(04:12:18):
of a Jewish force inside Europe aiming at a mass
exodus to Palestine is fantastically untrue. Morgan was forced to apologize,
even though as a pro Israel author rights, Morgan's analysis
of the situation was quite correct. New heading the Seife
Group blocking a counter Balfour declaration. Another secret group working

(04:12:43):
on behalf of Zionism was formed in nineteen forty two
by Israel M. Seife, a British clothing magnet who was
temporarily living in the US. Of course he was. The
Seife Group was, as historian Peter Gross puts it, a
sophisticated version of Brandeis's Parishem the secret organization. While its
existence was never openly acknowledged, it grew into the secret

(04:13:05):
back channel to officials in Washington during the last years
of FDR's presidency and the crucial first years of Truman's.
Its members included such men as Ben Kohane, a member
of the White House staff, Robert Nathan in intelligence, David Ginsburg,
a New Deal bureaucrat, David Lilienthal, chairman of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, and David Niles, a high White House official

(04:13:28):
under both Roosevelt and Truman, Grocer reports the Little Nucleus
possessed the entree and the clout to carry the message
of Jewish Palestine into the highest policymaking circles through casual suggestion, indirection,
chance remarks among well placed colleagues in the corridors of
power and the salons of social Washington. On July twenty seven,

(04:13:52):
nineteen forty three, a US State Department officials and English diplomats,
concerned that Zionist activities were causing serious harm to the
war effort almost issue to reverse Balfour Declaration calling for
these activities to cease. The Sife Group Felix Frankfurter, who
was Supreme Court Justice, Henry Morgan Thou who I think

(04:14:12):
was Treasury Secretary at the time, David Niles, Bernard Baruk,
and others took emergency action and blocked the declaration Chapter
fourteen Palestinian refugees. By nineteen forty nine, Israel's war of

(04:14:32):
independence and ethnic cleansing had created hundreds of thousands of
Palestinian refugees. The US representative in Israel sent an urgent
report to Truman. Quote, Arab refugee tragedy is rapidly reaching
catastrophic proportions and should be treated as a disaster. Of
approximately four hundred thousand refugees approaching winter with cold, heavy rains, will,

(04:14:55):
it is estimated, kill more than one hundred thousand old men, women,
and children who were shelterless and have little or no food.
These are the victims of the Nakba that modern Zionists
and Jews will say it didn't happen, it was made up.
Those people weren't there, they didn't exist, or they invaded
from other countries. Old men, women, and children. Yeah. The

(04:15:21):
number of refugees continued to grow, reaching at least three
quarters of a million and desperate, starving Palestinians inundated neighboring
Arab countries. US diplomats in Cairo and Aman described a
disastrous situation in which the almost non existent resources of
these countries were stretched nearly to the breaking point. The
State Department reported that during the last nine months in

(04:15:43):
nineteen forty eight, Arab states had donated eleven million to
refugee aid, stating this sum, in light of the very
slender budgets of most of these governments, is relatively enormous.
During this time, the report noted the total direct relief
offered by the Israel Israeli government to date consists of
five hundred cases of oranges. At least they weren't going

(04:16:06):
to get scurvy, right, at least five hundred of them wouldn't.
Or however, five hundred how many times, I'm many, let's
call it, I don't know, fifty times, five hundred, maybe
fifty thousand, Yeah, some of them, I guess scurvy. At least. Meanwhile,
Israel had acquired formerly Palestinian owned properties worth at least

(04:16:31):
four hundred and eighty million in nineteen forty seven dollars,
the equivalent of five point two billion in today's dollars.
Journalists and academic under Stridberg reports, in the process of
Judaizing Palestine, numerous convents, hospices, seminaries, and churches were either

(04:16:51):
destroyed or cleared of their Christian owners and custodians, and
one of the most spectacular attacks on a Christian target,
on seventeen, nineteen forty eight, the Armenian Orthodox Patriar Patriarchate
was shelled with about one hundred mortar rounds launched by
Zionist forces from the already occupied Monastery of the Benedictine

(04:17:12):
Fathers on Mount Zion. The bombardment also damaged Saint Jacob's Convent,
the Archangel's Convent, and their appended churches, their two elementary
and seminary schools, as well as their libraries, killing eight
people and winning one hundred and twenty. Does this sound familiar?

(04:17:36):
They're still doing this today. Truman, who's caving into Zionist
pressures had helped create the disaster, now tried to convince
Israel to allow the refugees to return to their homes.
His main representative working on this was Mark Ethridge, former
publisher of the Louisville Courier Journal. Ethridge was disgusted at

(04:18:00):
Israel's refusal, reporting to the State Department, what I can
see is an abortion of justice and humanity to which
I do not want to be midwife. The State Department
finally threatened to withhold forty nine million of unallocated funds

(04:18:20):
from an Export Import Bank loan to Israel if it
did not allow at least two hundred thousand refugees to return.
The US Coordinator on Palestine Refugee matters, George C McGee,
delivered the message to the Israeli ambassador and later described
his response. The ambassador looked me straight in the eye
and said in essence that I wouldn't get by with

(04:18:42):
this move, that he would stop it. Within an hour
of my return to my office, I received the message
from the White House that the President wished to disassociate
himself with any withholding of the x I AM Bank loan.
Edwin Wright, a State Department Middle East specialist from teen
forty five to nineteen sixty six, was the subject of

(04:19:03):
an oral history interview many years later for the Truman Library.
About this interview, he said, the material I gave the interviewer,
Professor McKenzie, was of a very controversial nature, one of
most taboo in US circles, and as much as I do,
I accuse the Zionists of using political pressures and even
deceit in order to get the US involved in a

(04:19:25):
policy of supporting a Zionist, theocratic, ethnically exclusive, and ambitious
Jewish state. I and my associates in the State Department
felt this was contrary to US interests, and we were
overruled by President Truman. Why would they be overruled? All right,

(04:19:49):
let's see where we are here. I'm going to scroll
up because I think we're almost done with the whole
basis of the book, with the whole main part of
the book. Maybe the main part part of the book
is all the extra stuff. Yeah, we only have two
chapters left, so this is maybe I'll just finish this.
Who they all knows? All right? Chapter fifteen Zionists Influence

(04:20:14):
in the Media. As a Storian, Richard Stevens notes, Zionists
early on learned to exploit the essential nature of the
American political system that policies can be made and unmade
through force of public opinion and pressure. Procuring influence in
the media, both paid and unpaid, has been a key
component of their success. Let's remember what the Jews and

(04:20:35):
the revolutionaries did in Russia. They own newspapers. The Jews
owned newspapers in Germany. So the quote unquote program of
nineteen oh five, I think it was the kishenev or
I think it was the Odessa one. The first day

(04:20:55):
for anything really even kicked off in Germany. A Jewish
news paper was saying that tens of thousands of Jews
had already been killed. They said in one quote unquote program, Oh,
they were putting nails into my head through my nose.

(04:21:21):
So Zionists influence in the media. From early on, the
Zionist narrative largely dominated news coverage from the region. A
study of four leading newspapers nineteen seventeen coverage showed that
the editorial opinion almost universally favored the Zionists position. Author
Kathleen Christensen notes that editorials and news stories alike applauded

(04:21:45):
Jewish enterprise Harold did a Jewish return to Palestine as
glorious news. Other studies showed the same situation for the
nineteen twenties. Christisen writes the relatively heavy press coverage as
an indicator of the extent ofis in influence even in
this early period. One scholar has estimated that as of
the mid nineteen twenties, approximately half of all New York

(04:22:08):
Times articles were placed by press agents, suggesting that US
Zionist organizations may have placed many of these articles on
Zionism's Palestine endeavors. At one point, when the State Department
was trying to convince Israel to allow Palestinian refugees to return,
Secretary of State George Marshall wrote, quote, the leaders of
Israel would make a grave miscalculation if they thought callous

(04:22:30):
treatment of this tragic issue could pass unnoted by world opinion.
Marshall underestimated the ability of Zionists to minimize the information
on Palestinian refugees reaching Americans. A State Department study in
March nineteen forty nine found the American public was unaware
of the Palestine refugee problem since it has not been

(04:22:51):
hammered away at by the press or radio since October seventh.
I mean, basically, where do you see the pictures? I mean,
you've seen articles in mainstream papers, but where do you
see the worst pictures? You see them on social media
where they're trying to control where international jewelry is saying

(04:23:17):
we need to buy TikTok so we can stop this.
We can't control it. Even though the telegram channel seventy
seven Virgins, which was posting up the worst videos you
could possibly think of, found out it was run by
the IDF. Because I don't know why they wanted a

(04:23:41):
brag about what they were doing. It's hard to understand,
isn't it. As author Alfred Lilienthal explained in nineteen fifty three,
the capture of the American press by Jewish nationalism was
in fact incredibly complete. Magazines, as well as newspapers and

(04:24:03):
news stories, as well as editorial columns, gave primarily the
Zionist views of events before, during, and after partition. When
The Saturday Evening Post published an article by Milton Mayer
that criticized Jewish nationalism and carried two other articles giving
opposing views, Zionis organized what was probably the worst attack
on the Post in its long history. Zionis inundated the

(04:24:24):
magazine with vitriolic mail, canceled their subscriptions, and withdrew their advertising.
The Post learned its lesson later, refusing to publish an
article that would have again exposed it to such an onslaught,
even though the editor acknowledged that the rejected piece was
a good and eloquent article. This was typical in a
campaign in which Zionis exploited sympathy for victimized Jews, and

(04:24:47):
when this did not sufficiently skew reporting about Palestine, used
financial pressures. Lilienthal writes, if voluntary compliance was not understanding enough,
there was always the matter of Jewish advert sizing and circulation.
The threat of economic recriminations from Jewish advertisers, combined with
the fact that the fatal label of anti Semite would

(04:25:08):
be pinned on any editor stepping out a line assuredly, fullest, assured,
fullest press cooperation. Author Christensen reports that from the moment
partition was voted by the UN, the press played a
critical role in building a framework for thinking that would
endure for decades. She writes, its shortly before May fifteenth,

(04:25:30):
nineteen forty eight, the scheduled beginning of the Jewish State,
a total of twenty four US, British and Australian reporters
converged on Palestine. Virtually all reporting was from the Jewish perspective,
reports Christensen. The journals, The Nation and The New Republic
both showed what one scholar calls an overt emotional partiality

(04:25:52):
towards the Jews. No item published in either journal was
sympathetic to the Arabs, and no correspondent was Staated and
Arab areas of Palestine, although some reporters lived with and
sometimes fought alongside Jewish settlers. Bookstores were inundated with books

(04:26:16):
espousing the Zionist point of view to enthusiastic press reviews. Conversely,
the few books published had dared to provide a different
perspective were given scathing reviews when they were reviewed at all.
When Professor Miller Burrows at the Yale School of Divinity,
a distinguished scholar and archaeologist, wrote Palestine as Our Business,
the American Zionist Council distributed a publication labeling his book

(04:26:39):
an anti Semitic opus. In fact, Professor Burrow's life history
showed the opposite. He had been one of the organizers
and vice president of the National Committee to Combat Anti
Semitism and long been active in the interfaith movement in
New Haven. Doesn't Matter, Doesn't Matter. In his book, Burrows wrote,
a terrible wrong has been to the native people of Palestine.

(04:27:02):
The blame for what has happened must be distributed among
all concerned, including ourselves. Our own interests, both as Americans
and as Christians are endangered. The interests of the Jewish
people also have suffered, and we still and we can
still do something about it. Burrows emphasize this is a
question of the most immediate and vital concern to many

(04:27:22):
hundreds of thousands of living people. It is an issue
on which one concerned with right and wrong must take
a position and try to do something or I can
hear people screaming I don't care about these people at all.
They're both brown and who cares? And you know, although
they own our government, right, So yeah, I'm above this,

(04:27:43):
but I'll complain and just call everybody on social media
a jew who disagrees with me. People really aren't that
smart at all, and you won't take a side, which
is just cowardice. I mean, I could see if it

(04:28:07):
was just two, if it was the friggin something that
was happening in Africa with two tribes, but we don't
have not These people own us. These people own our government,
they own our banks, they own Hollywood, they own entertainment,
they own education. No, no, I'll just ignore it. I'll

(04:28:28):
keep complaining about it, but I'm not going to take
a side. They're Bob Brown. Burrows wrote that imposing a
Jewish state on Palestine violated the principle of self determination
and noted that the right of the majority of the
people of a country to choose their own government would
hardly be questioned than any other instance. Well, I think

(04:28:49):
they did a really good job of returning that on us,
didn't they. Burrows criticized what he termed pro zionus writing
and points it out that a quite different view of
the situation would emerge if the word resistance were used.
When describing Palestinian and Arab fighting. In nineteen forty eight,

(04:29:10):
he wrote that the plan for Palestine advocated by the
Arabs was a democracy with freedom of religion and complete
separation of religion in the state as in this country.
Burrows also discussed religious aspects, stating, one thing is certain,
Nothing that is essentially unjust or contrary to the spirit
of Christ can be the will of God. Let him
who speaks of fulfillment of prophecy. Remember Jeremiah twenty two thirteen.

(04:29:34):
Woe one to him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness.
I think he's making a comment there to the dispensationalists.
In his conclusion, Burrows stated all the Arab refugees who
want to return to their homes must be allowed and
help to do so, and must be restored to their
own villages, houses, and farms or places of business, with

(04:29:55):
adequate compensation from the government of Israel for destruction and damage.
He also stated homes must be found in this country
or elsewhere for Jews desiring to become citizens of other
countries in Israel, and their religious, civil, social and economic
rights must be guaranteed in their onslaught against them. Zionists
accused Burrows of careless writing, disjointed reporting, and extremely biased observation.

(04:30:19):
This is exactly what they say, now exactly. I posted
up a link to my reading of Crying Wolf hate
crime hoaxes in the United States, and someone's like, oh,
so you just believe everything you read on YouTube. It's like, no, actually,
it's my reporting. I read the book, I looked at

(04:30:41):
the research, I looked at the footnotes, and then I
read it. They don't even care. They operate off of
a script. You're never going to convince them of anything.
All you can do is humiliate them, show them how

(04:31:01):
small they are, and tell them no more, no fucking more.
Another author who described the misery of Palestinian refugees as
well as Jewish suffering in Israel, Willie snow Ethridge, was
similarly attacked by pro Israel reviewers. When she was invited

(04:31:23):
to address the Maryland Teachers Association and chose to speak
on her book Journey to Jerusalem, she was told she
must speak on a different subject. The secretary of the
association explained that so much pressure had been brought on
him that he would lose his job if she didn't
change to another subject. Still another was the eminent dean
of Barnard College, Virginia Guildersleeve, a highly distinguished personage with

(04:31:46):
impeccable credentials as a humanitarian. When she wrote that Palestinian
refugees should be allowed to return to their homes, a
campaign was launched against her, labeling her a Christian anti Semite. Guildersleeve,
who had been instrumental in drafting the Preamble of the
UN Charter and had taken a leading role in creating
the UN Human Rights Commission, Later devoted herself to working

(04:32:07):
for human rights in the Middle East. She testified before
congressional committees and lobbied President Truman to novail. In her memoir,
she attributed such failures to the Zionist control of the
media of communication. All right, let's finish this up. Finish

(04:32:28):
a book now. Chapter sixteen. Dorothy Thompson, played by Catherine
Hepburn and Lauren McCall, America's most famous female journalists at
the time, also attempted valiantly but unsuccessfully, to tell Americans
about Palestinian refugees. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Dorothy Thompson

(04:32:51):
was one of the most famous journalists of the twentieth century.
Thompson's columns was in column was in newspapers all over
the country, and her radio program listened to by tens
of millions of Americans. She had been married to one
of America's most famous novelists, Grace, the cover of Time magazine,
been profiled by America's top magazines, and was so well

(04:33:12):
known that that woman of the Year a Hollywood So
well known that Woman of the Year a Hollywood movie
feature featuring Catherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy and a Broadway
play starring Lauren Baccall were based on her. She had
been the first journalist to be expelled by Adolf Hitler

(04:33:33):
and had raised the alarm against Nazis long ahead of
most other journalists. She had originally supported Zionism, but then
after the war, had visited the region in person. She
had been there, she began to speak about Palestinian refugees,
narrated a documentary about their plight, and condemned Jewish terrorism.

(04:33:55):
She sounds like a horrible anti semi, doesn't she. Thompson
was viciously attacked in an orchestrated campaign of what she
termed career assassination and character assassination. She wrote, it has
been boundless going into my personal life. She wrote, to
this organized attack, when letter after letter is couched in
almost identical phraseology, I do not think that the authors

(04:34:20):
have been gifted with telepathy. She was dropped by The
New York Post, whose editor Ted Thackeray and his wife
Dorothy Schiff were said to by other Post editors to
be very close to the Ergoun and Monochem began began
the Urgonist the Stern Gang and other Zionist organizations. Terrorist

(04:34:44):
organizations had, according to one commenter, inordinate access to the
Post's editorial board. Dorothy Schiff, granddaughter of financeer Jacob Schiff
and owner of the Post, later divorced Thakrey and married
Rudolph Sonnaborne. Do you remember the Saunaborne? Do you remember

(04:35:07):
that name? Thompson's mail was filled with ferocious accusations as
she was anti Semitic for publicizing Zionist cruelties. One such
correspondent told her that her filthy indictments to that her
filthy indictment incitements to pograms would not be tolerated by
New York Jews. Before long, her column and radio programs,

(04:35:30):
her speaking engagements in her fame were all gone. Today
she has largely been erased from history. In the coming decades,
other Americans were similarly written out of history, forced out
of office, their lives and careers destroyed. History was distorted, rewritten, erased,
bigotry promoted supremacy, disguised facts replaced by fraud. Very few

(04:35:51):
people know this history. The excellent books that documented are
largely out of print, their facts and very existence virtually
unknown to the VASM major already of Americans, even those
who focus on the Middle East. Instead, false theories have
been promulgated, Mendacious analysis is promoted, Chosen authors celebrated, others
assigned to oblivion. George Arwell once wrote, who controls the

(04:36:15):
past controls the future? Who controls the present controls the past?
Perhaps by rediscovering the past will gain control of the
present and save the future. Is what does that last
sentence mean? She's basically saying that if if we don't

(04:36:36):
stop this, we have no future. What are we witnessing now?
Israel bombs Iran? Why Iran might have a nuclear weapon?
They might be, and we can't allow Iran to have
a nuclear weapon. Israel has nuclear weapons. They've never signed

(04:36:59):
a non profile proliferation treaty. But apparently that's fine. It's
perfectly fine with people. Most Americans are like, hey, who
cares you know what I mean? It's Israel. They can
do they can do no wrong. So they bomb Tehran,
kill people, and Roan's like, okay, well retaliation. They're crying pogram,

(04:37:25):
they're crying war crimes. My comments on one of them was,
I'm looking at pictures of Gaza. Let me know when
Tel Aviv looks like Gaza. Does anyone really think that

(04:37:46):
Israel won't use a nuke after what they've done? I
know this can be black pilling as hell, but so
many people have gone through history without knowing exactly who

(04:38:07):
the enemy is. If you read this book with me,
if you're reading two hundred years together with me, if
you're paying attention at all, at least you know who
the enemy is. Footnotes here are absolutely insane. I'm gonna

(04:38:30):
go up to the top real quick and just show
the further reading. I mean, she's got books upon books here,
and she has endnotes. These endnotes are seventy plus pages.

(04:38:56):
I mean, I don't know what to say anymore. It
seems like people just it's not at this point, I
don't I don't think there's anything that you can do.
If you're watching this, if you're listening to this, how
about you just agree that you know who the problem is.

(04:39:26):
It's hard for me to believe anybody could listen to
this and not be like, yeah, I know who the
problem is. That's it. I'll think about another book to
book to go through, read some articles or something, and
try to keep stuff coming at you, all right, So

(04:39:48):
that's it. Alison weirs against our better judgment, as Palette
and YYZ said, what a great name for a book
