In Berlin, the high and mighty including U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, German President Johannes Rau and Israel's president, Moshe Katsav gathered for a Conference of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) dedicated to the struggle against anti-Semitism. They proclaimed that “the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is serving as a cover for worldwide anti-Semitic sentiment” as Ha'aretz reported today. I was not invited to this gathering, but if I were, I would present them with the following talk.

Children of a Lesser God By Israel Shamir Kinder eines unbedeutenderen Gottes Enfants d’un Dieu Subalterne Hijos de un Dios menor Your Excellencies, this conference is indeed an extremely important, historic event, to be compared with Constantine’s Edict of Milan or with Nicene Council of the Church. I am not sure that all of you fully understand what you did, what is the meaning of the code-words ‘Struggle against anti-Semitism’.

You accepted your second-class status of children of lesser god, when you tried publishers of Norman Finkelstein's Holocaust Industry and allowed agents of ADL to march streets of Berlin with Israeli flags and portraits of Bomber Harris. You agreed that your blood is cheap. Do not be surprised if it will flow after the supply of Palestinians will dry up.

Let us say first what it is NOT. Your ‘struggle against anti-Semitism’ is not a defence for a persecuted small nation; if it were, you would defend the besieged Palestinians. It is not a struggle against racism, for you support racist apartheid in Palestine. It is not a struggle against anti-Jewish discrimination, for there is none, and from Moscow to Paris to New York, Jews occupy the very pinnacle of power.

It is not defence of Jewish life, for the only Jew wounded of late in Europe cut himself with his own kitchen knife in an attempt to incriminate a Muslim. It is not defence of Jewish property, for Jews are the only people on earth who have regained every piece of property their ancestors ever claimed from Berlin to Baghdad. Your ‘struggle against anti-Semitism’ has nothing to do with long-dead historic anti-Semitism, anti-Jewish racial theory. There are Semites and descendents of Jews on both sides of the battle. TOP

You submitted to the new religion brought over to Europe from across the ocean, with American tanks and dollars and movies, to the neo-Judaic religion of a Chosen few, of man-made landscapes, of economic freedom; of alienation and uprooting, of denying solidarity and sacrality to non-Chosen. You proclaimed today that the Judaic ideas and values are the foundations of the New World Order you are committed to uphold rather than the Christian ideal of solidarity and equality. You brought Europe back into Arian heresy defeated at Nicaea, and demeaned Christ. Your excessive and abnormal care for the wellbeing of Jews is a symbol of your submission. 

Probably you consider yourselves ‘realists and pragmatists’ who care little for this religious mumbo-jumbo. If you were realists and pragmatists, you would consider what this acceptance of Jewish superiority means for YOU, if you do not care for Palestinians or Iraqis. I open the Jerusalem Post of 22.04.04, and read the words of your new superiors:

“My problem is not only with Germany. It is with everything German, anywhere. I neither argue nor get upset. I have simply wiped Germany and its people off my globe”, - writes Matti Golan, the former editor-in-chief of the leading Israeli newspaper Haaretz and of the Globes, the paper for the Jewish economic elites. Matti Golan is not a firebrand; he is not one of Jewish religious fanatics who deny goyim even descent from Adam. Indeed, I could fill hundreds of pages with similar – and worse – quotes from Khabbad books or Cabbala wizards. But Golan is not a Cabbalist and extremist but one of the sane, non-religious mainstream influential Jewish intellectuals. When this article was discussed on IsraelForum.com in the internet, a typical Jewish response was this: “Matti Golan is a prominent journalist and columnist. He represents ideas held by the vast majority of Israeli Jews in this subject. My opinion included.” If I were a German, I would have second thoughts before providing Matti Golan’s country with nuclear-capable submarines lest he will ‘simply wipe Germany and its people off our globe’. TOP

Rau: "Anti-Semitism is behind criticism of the Israeli government's politics over the last decades"

In my view, Golan sounded a call for racist hatred and genocide. You could discuss it; but you would rather condemn Mahathir, or a peace activist who fights for equality in Palestine.  Your colleague German President Johannes Rau said: “Everyone knows that massive anti-Semitism is behind criticism of the Israeli government's politics over the last decades”. He said it a week after a four-year-old Asma suffocated of Israeli tear gas inside her room in Gaza on 23.04.04, a year after Rachel Corrie was crushed by Israeli bulldozer. Thus, whoever says ‘antisemitism’ agrees with murder of Asma and Rachel.

You cause contempt, and it is dangerous for you. In a mass-circulation Israeli daily Maariv (24.04.04), Dan Margalit, a superstar of Israeli journalism, writes of the man who tried to warn you of the grave danger of Israeli nuclear potential:

“Vanunu posed himself as suffering Mel Gibson, a new Jesus, who suffers in jail for his conversion to Christianity. I must admit he was discriminated on the religious grounds, but positively discriminated. Vanunu remained alive for his treason, spying and baptism notwithstanding, Israel treated him as a Jew. Everyone knows what the Israeli Mossad would do to him if he were a German nuclear technician on a service of an Arab state - The names of those sorts are carved on gravestones in the cemeteries of Europe.” (Do not look for this sentence on the Maariv English-language website: it is sanitised.)

Its message is clear: blood of a goy, especially of a German goy, is of less value than blood of a Jew. And you brought it upon yourselves. TOP

Israel boasted that her assassins murdered German technicians and scientists – but Germany never complained. A brave and noble American Jew, John Sack, published a book on Jewish atrocities committed against innocent ethnic Germans in late 1940s – but Germany did not investigate the grave accusations, did not demand the trial of the criminals; even the book of Sack was not published in Germany. Jews admitted mass poisoning of German POWs and an attempt to murder millions of German civilians – Germany did not investigate it, but transferred more money and military hardware to Israel.

You accepted your second-class status of children of lesser god. Not today – when you elevated Auschwitz and disdained the fiery holocaust of Dresden. When you bewept deportations of Jews and ignored deportations of ethnic Germans by Zionist-ridden governments of Poland and Czechoslovakia. When you pushed for disarmament of Iraq and supplied nuclear equipment to Dimona. When you locked up and extradited Palestinian fighters and did not demand extradition of an Israeli citizen Solomon Morel who tortured and killed thousands of Germans. When you tried publishers of Norman Finkelstein’s Holocaust Industry and allowed agents of ADL to march streets of Berlin with Israeli flags and portraits of Bomber Harris. You agreed that your blood is cheap. Do not be surprised if it will flow after the supply of Palestinians will dry up.

Personally, I am rather grateful for what you did. Until now, the struggle for equality in Palestine was hindered by well-meaning women and men who did not question the Jewish supremacy in Europe and the US but were horrified by the genocide of Palestinians. While fighting against the Wall, or against devastation of Gaza, they were worried by accusation of ‘anti-Semitism’. They thought the argument against Israeli apartheid is legitimate in the New World Order. Now you have removed this obstacle by proving that whatever happens in Palestine is not a local aberration but the foundation stone of Pax Americana. TOP

Let them both fall together: the local and the global scheme of Judaic supremacy, so Jews and Gentiles will be able once again live like equals in Palestine and elsewhere.

Sir:

I read with interest about your trip to Berlin to discuss racism against Jews.  Of course, it made me remember that, some years ago, you refused to travel to South Africa to discuss racism against other folks, like Blacks. It certainly made me scratch my head.

I seem to have a different fix on these things than our government does. I think that the real problem these days is not anti-Semitism but philo-semitism. If we were not so darned attached to the Israelis, in particular, we would obviously not be in Iraq now, which we know has nothing to do with WMD, or 9-11, or even President Bush's feelings about his dad. It has to do with the fact that Israel has long wished for the destruction of the country (at least after Egypt had been neutralized) that poses the greatest geopolitical challenge to it.  It's nice to do favors for friends and allies, of course, but all that blood and treasure--that was taking it a bit far.

If we didn't have such a bad case of philo-Semitism, too, we wouldn't tolerate having our reputation irremediably ruined as a democratic country that cares about international law by continuing to support Israeli ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.  It's true, of course, we tolerated the ethnic cleansing of the Tutsis by the Hutus, who aren't even remotely Jewish, but the situations aren't comparable.  The whole world ignored that carnage whereas most of the world understands that the Palestinians have been royally betrayed and international law sabotaged by US support of Israeli colonialism.  Moreover, when we let the Tutsis hang in the wind, we didn't alienate 1.3 billion other Tutsis throughout the world, whereas we have certainly alienated 1.3 billion Muslims--the guys with the oil--with our support of Israel. This is in our national interest?  I think not--I think our infatuation with Israel has made us leave our senses.

No doubt, Mr. Secretary, by now you are thinking that I am one of those people who you went to Berlin to talk about--but I'm not.  I'm a Jew who has learned the true lesson of the Holocaust (which my parents narrowly escaped), which is that thinking that any people is superior and is therefore above international law is the ultimate foreign policy sin because it is an idea that will come back to bite us. I think our administration thinks that about the Israelis and that is why it tolerates Jim Crow in Jerusalem whereas it (and certainly you) would be horrified by it in Washington.  Please, Sir, remember where you come from when wearing your diplomatic uniform.

From: Elias Davidsson
to: Mr. Ambassador
German Embassy in Iceland
Reykjavík


Your Excellency, Mr. Ambassador,

I just read remarks by the German President during a Conference held in Berlin under the auspices of OSCE dedicated to the theme of antisemitism. I wish to express some of my concerns regarding his position and that of the German government towards the subject in question.

My late parents were German Jews who were forced to leave Germany under the
Nazis. I was born and brought up in Palestine, a part of which became Israel. I settled in Iceland in 1962 where I have been living since. The theme of the conference is therefore a subject I am very familiar with and concerns me and my family in Israel.

Having said that, I wish to share with you my concern about the focus on antisemism as a specific form of racism. The very term is misleading in that most Jews are not semites in any sense while semitic peoples include Arabs, Ethiopians and others. International legal instruments do not distinguish - rightly so - between the various types of racism. The very term "racism" is understood as extending to any impermissible distinction based on race, colour, ethnicity, nationality etc. Furthermore there exists no particular urgency in dealing with anti-Jewish sentiment. Far more Turks and Arabs have been mistreated and even killed in recent years for racist motives in Europe and by Europeans than Jews. Jews occupy a privileged position in European political, economic and cultural life, far exceeding their proportion in society. It is a joke to read that the most privileged community in Europe (and the United States) laments about being persecuted. Nothing can better reinforce the myth of the Protocols of the Wise of Zion than observing European governments bowing to pressure by Jewish leaders in this respect.

Furthermore, I wish to point out that Jewish communities have themselves contributed to the perception that Jews and Zionism is one and the same. They do so by showing more loyalty to Israel than to any other subject of social or national concern, whether universal human rights, European political integration, or the fight against world hunger. There is nothing wrong with attributing to Jewish communities some blame for the unlawful and criminal Israeli policies against the Palestinians. This does not mean, obviously, that Jews, or anyone else, should be discriminated against, let alone physically abused. Criminal law is, however, fully adequate to deal with attacks on persons, Jews or others, for whatever motive such attacks are carried out. Equating Israeli policies with those of the Nazis is hardly a sign of anti-Jewish feeling. On the contrary, many Jews who oppose Israeli policies, have actually made this equivalence in order to highlight the brutality and racism of Israeli policies. Among them is the great German poet Erich Fried. The equivalence is also made by Israeli fascists who actually and consciously emulate Nazi methods they read about and brag about it. TOP

Finally, I wish to point out that the most grievous form of racism is racial discrimination. Jews in Europe enjoy full freedoms, of religion, expression, association and others. Thanks to the principles of Enlightment, Jews are no more discriminated in Europe. No European state pursues policies of racial discrimination. On the other hand the State of Israel not only pursues blatant policies of racial discrimination (as defined in international human rights treaties) but is actually based on the concept of racial discrimination. You may not know that on the eve of the establishment of the Jewish State in 14 May 1948, a meeting was held by the future leadership of the State, led by David Ben Gurion, to prepare the Declaration of the Establishment of the incumbent state. At that meeting the representative of the then Communist Party (Maki) proposed that the new state be declared a "sovereign and independent" state. This proposition was defeated as it would have implied equal rights for all inhabitants of the state, including non-Jews (Arabs). Instead the majority adopted the definition of Israel as "the Jewish state in Palestine" representing the world's Jews (essentially defined biologically and extra-territorially). The definition of Israel as a Jewish state pervades most Basic Laws of the state, though the mechanism of discrimination is garbed in a veil, so as not to draw too much attention of the Western world. The details of the mechanism, including the citation of the Protocol of the meeting I mentioned above, are found in the seminal work by Israeli scholar Dr. Uri Davis (Israel, an Apartheid State, Zed Books, London). The Jewish state continues to discriminate, legally, against all non-Jews, with some categories of non-Jews subjected to harsher discrimination than others. The most discriminated category are the Palestinian refugees, living either in Israel proper, in the occupied territories or outside these areas, who have been dispossessed and rendered stateless by the Jewish state.

I urge the German government to act against all forms of racism, stop giving VIP treatment to a particular form of racism, and denounce the racist policies and nature of the State of Israel, which lies at the root of the lethal conflict in the Middle East. By doing so, the German government would demonstrate its true compassion for both Jews and Arabs.

I am to your disposal for any further clarifications, if needed.

Sincerely yours,


Elias DAVIDSSON
